- Economic projections and rules-of-thumb for monetary policy (2008)
- Monetary policy analysts often rely on rules-of-thumb, such as the Taylor rule, to describe historical monetary policy decisions and to compare current policy to historical norms. Analysis along these lines also permits evaluation of episodes where policy may have deviated from a simple rule and examination of the reasons behind such deviations. One interesting question is whether such rules-of-thumb should draw on policymakers "forecasts of key variables such as inflation and unemployment or on observed outcomes. Importantly, deviations of the policy from the prescriptions of a Taylor rule that relies on outcomes may be due to systematic responses to information captured in policymakers" own projections. We investigate this proposition in the context of FOMC policy decisions over the past 20 years using publicly available FOMC projections from the biannual monetary policy reports to the Congress (Humphrey-Hawkins reports). Our results indicate that FOMC decisions can indeed be predominantly explained in terms of the FOMC´s own projections rather than observed outcomes. Thus, a forecast-based rule-of-thumb better characterizes FOMC decision-making. We also confirm that many of the apparent deviations of the federal funds rate from an outcome-based Taylor-style rule may be considered systematic responses to information contained in FOMC projections.
- Central bank misperceptions and the role of money in interest rate rules (2008)
- Research with Keynesian-style models has emphasized the importance of the output gap for policies aimed at controlling inflation while declaring monetary aggregates largely irrelevant. Critics, however, have argued that these models need to be modified to account for observed money growth and inflation trends, and that monetary trends may serve as a useful cross-check for monetary policy. We identify an important source of monetary trends in form of persistent central bank misperceptions regarding potential output. Simulations with historical output gap estimates indicate that such misperceptions may induce persistent errors in monetary policy and sustained trends in money growth and inflation. If interest rate prescriptions derived from Keynesian-style models are augmented with a cross-check against money-based estimates of trend inflation, inflation control is improved substantially.
- Money in monetary policy design: monetary cross-checking in the New-Keynesian model (2009)
- In the New-Keynesian model, optimal interest rate policy under uncertainty is formulated without reference to monetary aggregates as long as certain standard assumptions on the distributions of unobservables are satisfied. The model has been criticized for failing to explain common trends in money growth and inflation, and that therefore money should be used as a cross-check in policy formulation (see Lucas (2007)). We show that the New-Keynesian model can explain such trends if one allows for the possibility of persistent central bank misperceptions. Such misperceptions motivate the search for policies that include additional robustness checks. In earlier work, we proposed an interest rate rule that is near-optimal in normal times but includes a cross-check with monetary information. In case of unusual monetary trends, interest rates are adjusted. In this paper, we show in detail how to derive the appropriate magnitude of the interest rate adjustment following a significant cross-check with monetary information, when the New-Keynesian model is the central bank's preferred model. The cross-check is shown to be effective in offsetting persistent deviations of inflation due to central bank misperceptions.

- New Keynesian versus old Keynesian government spending multipliers (2009)
- Renewed interest in fiscal policy has increased the use of quantitative models to evaluate policy. Because of modeling uncertainty, it is essential that policy evaluations be robust to alternative assumptions. We find that models currently being used in practice to evaluate fiscal policy stimulus proposals are not robust. Government spending multipliers in an alternative empirically-estimated and widely-cited new Keynesian model are much smaller than in these old Keynesian models; the estimated stimulus is extremely small with GDP and employment effects only one-sixth as large.
- Keynesian government spending multipliers and spillovers in the euro area (2009)
- The global financial crisis has lead to a renewed interest in discretionary fiscal stimulus. Advocates of discretionary measures emphasize that government spending can stimulate additional private spending — the so-called Keynesian multiplier effect. Thus, we investigate whether the discretionary spending announced by Euro area governments for 2009 and 2010 is likely to boost euro area GDP by more than one for one. Because of modeling uncertainty, it is essential that such policy evaluations be robust to alternative modeling assumptions and different parameterizations. Therefore, we use five different empirical macroeconomic models with Keynesian features such as price and wage rigidities to evaluate the impact of fiscal stimulus. Four of them suggest that the planned increase in government spending will reduce private spending for consumption and investment purposes significantly. If announced government expenditures are implemented with delay the initial effect on euro area GDP, when stimulus is most needed, may even be negative. Traditional Keynesian multiplier effects only arise in a model that ignores the forward-looking behavioral response of consumers and firms. Using a multi-country model, we find that spillovers between euro area countries are negligible or even negative, because direct demand effects are offset by the indirect effect of euro appreciation.
- Quantitative easing: a rationale and some evidence from Japan (2009)
- This paper reviews the rationale for quantitative easing when central bank policy rates reach near zero levels in light of recent announcements regarding direct asset purchases by the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank. Empirical evidence from the previous period of quantitative easing in Japan between 2001 and 2006 is presented. During this earlier period the Bank of Japan was able to expand the monetary base very quickly and significantly. Quantitative easing translated into a greater and more lasting expansion of M1 relative to nominal GDP. Deflation subsided by 2005. As soon as inflation appeared to stabilize near a rate of zero, the Bank of Japan rapidly reduced the monetary base as a share of nominal income as it had announced in 2001. The Bank was able to exit from extensive quantitative easing within less than a year. Some implications for the current situation in Europe and the United States are discussed.
- Fiscal stimulus and the promise of future spending cuts: a comment (2009)
- Recent evaluations of the fiscal stimulus packages recently enacted in the United States and Europe such as Cogan, Cwik, Taylor and Wieland (2009) and Cwik and Wieland (2009) suggest that the GDP effects will be modest due to crowding-out of private consumption and investment. Corsetti, Meier and Mueller (2009a,b) argue that spending shocks are typically followed by consolidations with substantive spending cuts, which enhance the short-run stimulus effect. This note investigates the implications of this argument for the estimated impact of recent stimulus packages and the case for discretionary fiscal policy.
- Surprising comparative properties of monetary models: results from a new data base (2009)
- In this paper we investigate the comparative properties of empirically-estimated monetary models of the U.S. economy. We make use of a new data base of models designed for such investigations. We focus on three representative models: the Christiano, Eichenbaum, Evans (2005) model, the Smets and Wouters (2007) model, and the Taylor (1993a) model. Although the three models differ in terms of structure, estimation method, sample period, and data vintage, we find surprisingly similar economic impacts of unanticipated changes in the federal funds rate. However, the optimal monetary policy responses to other sources of economic fluctuations are widely different in the different models. We show that simple optimal policy rules that respond to the growth rate of output and smooth the interest rate are not robust. In contrast, policy rules with no interest rate smoothing and no response to the growth rate, as distinct from the level, of output are more robust. Robustness can be improved further by optimizing rules with respect to the average loss across the three models.
- Schlechte Erfahrungen (2012)
- Eine Transaktionssteuer auf Finanzgeschäfte würde weniger Geld einbringen, als viele ihrer Anhänger hoffen - und sie birgt gravierende ökonomische und juristische Risiken. Die Bundesregierung sollte sich der Belastungen durch eine Finanztransaktionssteuer bewusst sein – und sie nicht ohne Beteiligung der weltweit führenden Finanzplätze einführen. Eine internationale Einigung auf strengere Eigenkapitalvorschriften für Banken muss Vorrang haben.
- Macroeconomic model comparisons and forecast competition (2012)
- This contribution draws on two recent publications in which the macroeconomic model data base (www.macromodelbase.com) is employed for model comparisons. The comparative approach is used to base policy analysis on a systematic evaluation of the different implications that a certain economic policy can have when submitted to different modeling approaches. In this manner, policy recommendations are more robust to modeling uncertainty. By extending the comparative approach to forecasting, the authors investigate the accuracy of different forecasting models and obtain more reliable mean forecasts.

Former Rocket Marrow running down a dream in HoustonWritten by Mike Bauman | | firstname.lastname@example.com
The road to former University of Toledo cornerback Desmond Marrow's dream of reaching the NFL has not been gone as he pictured it.
When he committed to UT in 2006, he had no idea that the Rockets would fall on hard times. The team failed to register a winning record until Marrow's fifth year, after racking up two Mid-American Conference championships and two bowl victories in the five seasons prior to his arrival. He had no idea he would suffer two serious injuries that would cost him two full seasons at Toledo and finish his collegiate career in 2011 at 24-years-old and a sixth-year senior.
As a 24-year-old sixth-year senior during the NFL Draft last month, those themes of difficulty and perseverance continued for the Youngstown native. He watched the draft round by round with family and friends back home and never saw his name flash across the bottom of the TV screen.
"I remember, like, two or three times I just went upstairs, man," said Marrow, who received First Team All-MAC honors in 2011 after leading the Rockets with 83 tackles, intercepting three passes and ranking fourth in the country with 15 pass breakups. "Just laid in my room; just waited for my phone to ring."
Though he went undrafted, Marrow's chance to fulfill his dream still came. The Houston Texans, whom Marrow had visited in early April, were interested in him and kept in touch throughout the draft. Then Houston's defensive backs coach, Vance Joseph, finally gave Marrow a ring.
"They called me," Marrow said. "They were like, 'We want you.' Then they told me that I was coming in with a chance to play right now and they couldn't wait to get me down there, so it was pretty much a done deal after that."
Given all he's been through in the past six years, the moment was emotional for Marrow.
"When they called me, it was just crazy, man," Marrow said. "My mom started crying; my aunts were crying; my cousins were crying; then I started crying. I mean, you want to play in the NFL your whole life — then it happens — then it's like, 'Man, it's here.'"
As one of 21 undrafted free agents Houston agreed to terms with, Marrow will have to prove his worth to the Texans, whom he reportedly chose over Dallas, Detroit, Jacksonville, San Francisco and Tampa Bay.
The 49ers were his favorite team growing up. But with two former Toledo teammates on the Cowboys' roster in safety Barry Church and center Kevin Kowalski — and recent teammates Mike VanDerMeulen and Danny Noble heading down to Tampa Bay for a chance to play for the Buccaneers — Houston was ultimately where Marrow wanted to be.
"I mean, I've always been a person who will try to do everything, like, different from anyone else and try to leave my own legacy, pretty much," Marrow said on choosing to sign with the Texans. "I just wanted to go up to Houston by myself, make my own mark and make a name for myself and help the team as much as I could."
In addition to Houston not selecting any defensive backs in this year's draft, another big factor in Marrow choosing the Texans was his initial impression after getting to spend time with some of the team's brass during his visit last month.
"They've just got an overall great organization," Marrow said. "I met [Houston head coach Gary] Kubiak. He's a great coach. Then my position coaches [Vance Joseph and Perry Carter], both coaches were real good guys. I went out for dinner with them, and Houston's just a nice city, man."
Marrow said Houston likes that he can play either cornerback or safety, adding that he's willing to compete wherever the team needs him. With his dream now in his grasp, Marrow's ready to turn his opportunity into an NFL career.
"A lot of people want to play in the NFL, but they never get that chance," Marrow said. "So I definitely just look at it as a blessing to have an opportunity."

The Ecosystem Marketplace's Mitigation Mail
Conservation and Wetland News You Can Bank On
Something must be in the water. In this month's Mitmail, we find quite a few high-level commitments to natural capital approaches.
The Natural Capital Declaration signatories are proving they can walk the walk with the release of an ambitious roadmap to a global standard for natural capital accounting and reporting by 2020. In Colombia, new legislation requires municipal and departmental agencies to direct 1% of their income to payments for ecosystem services (PES) to private landowners or land acquisition source water protection. And the UK government has released a thoughtful action plan for supporting PES on the ground, including continued funding for pilot projects and a list of specific opportunities worth pursuing.
Of course, it's about time. As a new OECD review of the scalability of innovative biodiversity finance mechanisms shows us, finding both the will and the wherewithal to reverse biodiversity decline is not going to be easy.
Another two items in this newsletter that come to us from Indonesia and Kenya point to another financing possibility: carbon. In these stories, voluntary carbon buyers have stepped in with funding for projects that provide not just carbon sequestration but critical biodiversity benefits. As Ecosystem Marketplace found in its latest State of the Voluntary Carbon Markets 2013 report, that market's been growing steadily, up 4% in 2012 while demand from European private-sector buyers jumped by more than a third. Read the Executive Summary here - and look for the full report, out soon.
Finally, we're hiring! Forest Trends' Water Initiative is seeking a program assistant to support our global outreach strategy. That position and and several others are listed in the 'Jobs' section below.

California has long been an epicenter of conservation banking and an incubator for the model nationwide. Yet seemingly fewer banks have been proposed and established in recent years. This month, California Agriculture Magazine featured a study by professors from the University of California-Davis. The authors noted this declining trend, and wondered how existing banks fitted into the State's wider large-scale conservation planning framework.
The study, built on interviews with bankers and regulatory agencies, found evidence of rampant confusion and delays around developing banking proposals on the one side, and unclear rules for making decisions about things like site selections, credit allocation or ecology on site on the other. Delays in getting banks approved have stretched up to seven years.
Last week, the state took a step towards rectifying that, with the passage of Senate Bill 1148. The new legislation provides clear procedures for evaluating and approving proposed Conservation Banks. But it stops short of actual conservation banking Standards - which some feel would better ensure conservation outcomes and allow the prioritization of areas and site to meaningfully assist in site selection.

Two years ago, Indonesia's Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve was on the rocks after the country's Ministry of Forestry turned more than half of its 80,000 hectares over to palm oil interests – an act that prevented it from becoming the first carbon project to generate credits under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) for saving endangered rainforest and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD). By the end of last year, however, the project had been saved – reportedly after intervention by powerful forest friends like Singapore-based businessman Rusmin Widjaja, Central Kalimantan Governor A. Teras Narang, and several green-minded wives of high-ranking officials. Now, the 30-year Rimba Raya project has generated just under 2.2 million Verified Carbon Units (VCUs) in the year ending July 2010, which will be sold to fund ongoing protection of endangered orangutan habitat in the 64,000-hectare reserve.

Last month the DC Circuit Court upheld the US EPA's jurisdictional authority to retrospectively veto a US Army Corps of Engineers ("the Corps") 404 permit to fill waters covered by the Clean Water Act. In simpler terms - the Corps gave their approval for a mining company to discharge into streams around their proposed mining operations and issued the required 404 permit. But the EPA ended up concluding that, actually, the adverse effects were just too great and their permit should be revoked.
Without diving into the details, many mitigation banking would see this development to potentially bring even more uncertainty to an already complex and risk-heavy business. And could it be the first in a potential wave of other permits potentially revoked? Will they be vetoing more future permits now, too? If the EPA can indeed revoke a permit after it has been issued, that takes away some of the certainty - and benefit - of the 404 Permit.
But leaders in the mitigation banking industry - while not underestimating the potential importance of this decision - aren't panicking, and indeed the decision can be seen as proof of the regulatory oversight that gives the system its strengths.

The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) just wrapped up the commenting period on the proposed new guidelines for evaluating federal water resources investments. The Principles and Requirements for Federal Investments in Water Resources are meant to instruct federal water and land related investments in projects ensuring that the agencies' actions contribute to economic development while preserving the environment. The updated version includes an ecosystem services approach to the evaluation process. Previous guidelines focused almost exclusively on economic factors. The report argues that measuring water resources investments purely on economic gains no longer reflects national needs and the integrated ecosystem services approach will lead to more socially beneficial investments.

Last week, the Natural Capital Declaration (NCD) announced the release of the Natural Capital Declaration Roadmap whereby signatory financial institutions will move on to implementing commitments laid out in the NCD. NCD seeks to enhance the understanding of financially-material natural capital risks for different asset classes, while actively promoting the development of financial products that incorporate natural capital considerations. Since the launch, the NCD has been endorsed by 41 CEOs of financial institutions.
The roadmap sets out four ambitious commitments, all ultimately aiming at a global standard for business for natural capital accounting and reporting by 2020:

New payment for ecosystem services (PES) regulations established by Colombia's Ministry of Environment on May 17th authorize payments to individuals who own land in key areas for watershed protection, based on the opportunity cost of seizing to grow crops or using the land for grazing. The money for these payments will come from municipal and departmental entities, which have to spend at least 1% of their income in acquisition of land for water conservation purposes or PES. In order to avoid irregular spending and corruption, environmental agencies must identify eligible PES areas before stewardship agreements are put in place. However, private landowners are still not entirely satisfied with the new regulation because there is ambiguity on the potential for future expropriation by municipal and departmental agencies.
– Read the regulation here (in Spanish).
The UK Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) announced in May an action plan to support payments for ecosystem services (PES) mechanisms, building on earlier work identifying the nation's natural capital wealth and risks. Now Defra's identified key steps for the next few years, like capacity building and continuing funding for pilots and research, disseminating best practices, and specific opportunities for impact. The latter, which are discussed in detail, include green infrastructure approaches to wastewater treatment or flood risk management, more incentive-based agri-environmental payments and leverage private finance, and a peatland carbon code. Another item that caught our eye: the UK Law Commission in March launched a consultation on "conservation covenants" which would essentially function like easements in the United States, and enable greater certainty around long-term protection.

An AUD $3.3 million (USD $3.1 million) dollar conservation fund for conserving biodiversity on private lands will be launched in Australia in an area of Tasmania. The Fund will compensate farmers' long term efforts to save the spotted-tail quoll, among other threatened species. Landowners who take up stewardship agreements are paid an annual fee for putting an agreed portion of their land under conservation management for a minimum period of 10 years. The fund has a AUD $10 million capital target by 2020, and could extend to the Australian mainland. At the moment, there are 3000 hectares signed up, but the goal is to preserve in the long term up to 64,000 hectares.

The World Resources Institute (WRI) is working with environmental & social impact assessment ( ESIA) practitioners these days on a methodology, the Ecosystem Services Review for Impact Assessment, which helps practitioners apply the concept of ecosystem services to the ESIA process. Later this year, an overview of the method will be published on WRI's website. Traditional ESIAs assess environmental and social impacts separately or with limited interdisciplinary analysis. However, an ecosystem service approach to ESIAs would allow environmental and social practitioners to have a common focus and language and demonstrate that environmental and social impacts are inextricably linked.

The latest offering from The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) initiative, Guidance Manual for TEEB Country Studies, was released in late May by by UNEP and its partners at the Trondheim Conference on Biodiversity. The manual walks users through conducting a TEEB country study: taking an inventory of policy, conducting ecosystem services valuations, and then acting on findings and communicating them effectively. It's peppered with examples and best practices, and provides extensive references for further reading and guidance. The TEEB initiative will formally endorse "TEEB Country Studies" meeting certain criteria outlined in the guide. The authors also note that they're eager to hear feedback from those who've used the manual, to inform future editions.

A mangrove restoration project north of Mombasa, Kenya is enjoying the fruits of its labor, according to an article from the Thomson Reuters Foundation. The Dabaso Creek Conservation Group's efforts to replant mangroves faced a rocky start,including skepticism in the community and problems with the plantings initially chosen. But ten years on, it's generating about about $3,600 a year in eco-tourism revenues and fisheries production, and benefits to local livelihoods including new income opportunities. Meanwhile, a Plan Vivo-certified project in a nearby mangrove forest will generate about $15,000 each year for the community via the sale of carbon credits through the REDD mechanism.
If business as usual continues, another 10% loss in biodiversity is expected from 2010-2050 - so what do we do? The OECD's new offering, a review of financing mechanisms for biodiversity conservation, sounds out some options. Chapters on environmental fiscal reform, payments for ecosystem services, biodiversity offsets, markets for green products, and integrating biodiversity concerns into climate change funding or international development finance consider each financing tool in turn, in terms of potential for 'scaling up', design and implementation issues. Ultimately, the question of "most scalable" is left to readers; the report notes that information on finance mobilization performance remains too spotty, and that local context and capacity matter most for any financing tool.

Colorado State Land Board - Denver CO, USA
The Colorado State Land Board has an immediate opening for an Ecosystem Services Student Intern this summer. The Intern will work between 30-40 hours per week. Starting and ending dates are flexible. This position pays $20/hour.
The Colorado State Board of Land Commissioners is a five person citizen group representing education, agriculture, local government and natural resources, plus one citizen-at-large commissioner. Appointed by the Governor and approved by the Colorado Senate, board members serve four year terms. The State Board is responsible for managing more than 3 million acres of land and 4 million acres of mineral rights that the federal government gave to Colorado to generate revenue for public education and some of the state's institutions. The Board's activities generate significant revenue annually primarily through agricultural leases for grazing and crop lands, mineral development and interest earned on invested funds. In recent years, the board has expanded its efforts to increase revenue through commercial development activities and leasing lands for recreational activities
The Intern will work on water, biodiversity and carbon market research. The intern will be involved in water market demand investigation for wetland and stream mitigation credits throughout Colorado using the HUC-8 watershed boundaries, collecting field data on Lesser Prairie Chicken habitat and identify potential for mitigation opportunities on state trust lands, and identify potential for carbon sequestration on state trust lands through four low-generation sources. There is the opportunity for fieldwork if the intern is interested.

Blotter: Man arrested following reported abduction attempt
The following information was provided by criminal complaints filed in Cabell County Magistrate Court:
Patrick Wayne Sharp, 39, of Huntington was arrested Tuesday and charged with felony attempt to commit abduction of a person, felony possession of a controlled substance and misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance.
A woman told a Huntington Police officer that she was engaged in a verbal argument with a man in the 600 block of Trenton Place at about 9 p.m. Tuesday when the man exited his vehicle, grabbed her left arm and attempted to pull her into the vehicle to remove her from the area.
She provided a description of the vehicle to officers, who initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle matching that description in the 100 block of West 6th Avenue. The driver of the vehicle matched the description of the man involved in the argument.
Officers found 28.1 grams of marijuana in one of the man's pockets. The man also told police he had a bottle of diet pills in his pocket, and officers found a Viagra pill, for which the man did not have a valid prescription, hidden with the diet pills.
Sharp's bond was set at $50,000.
Marie Fowler Argolis, 29, of Huntington was arrested Monday and charged with two felony counts of fraud and related activity in connection with access devices that stem from two incidents earlier this month.
In the complaint, a Huntington Police officer said a woman used a debit card on two separate occasions at a business along Bridge Street in Huntington to remove a total of $85.50 in cash from another person's checking account. The woman did not have permission to use the debit card, according to the officer.
Information regarding Argolis' bond was not available Wednesday night.
The following information was provided by reports filed with the Huntington Police Department:
POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE: Billy Joe Jones, 22, of Huntington was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance Tuesday.
An officer was dispatched to the 800 block of West 14th Street for a found property call just after 6 p.m. Tuesday. A "large amount" of marijuana was found in a brown leather bag in the area.
A man walking around the area fit the description of the person who reportedly left the bag in that area, and he admitted to the officer that the bag belonged to him.
DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY: An employee with FAMCO in Salt Rock reported someone broke a window in an excavator while it was parked at a construction site in the 300 block of West 3rd Street between Monday night and Tuesday morning. The damage to the machine was estimated at $600.
The following information was provided by booking records at the Western Regional Jail in Barboursville:
Benjamin Easter, 22, was incarcerated at 12:35 p.m. Wednesday. Authorities in Cabell County charged him with felony grand larceny and felony fraudulent use of an access device. Bond was $20,000.
Betty Ann Cooper, 29, was incarcerated at 12:30 a.m. Wednesday. Authorities in Lincoln County charged her with felony operating/attempting to operate a clandestine drug laboratory. Bond was denied pending arraignment.
Susan Lunn Maynard, 38, was incarcerated at 12:30 a.m. Wednesday. Authorities in Lincoln County charged her with felony operating/attempting to operate a clandestine drug laboratory. Bond was denied pending arraignment.

Mullins: US Team's Youth and Depth Reason for Confidence
The biggest challenge to the USA advancing is not Germany, who is the 2nd ranked team in the world according to FIFA. Rather, the challenge they must face in the days leading up to the game.
Will the players' bodies be able to recover?
Patrick Mullins asks this and other questions leading up to the USA-Germany FIFA World Cup Match on Thursday at noon in his feature on Boston.com. Check out the full article here.

Tony, you are surely entitled to your opinion, but I would respectfully disagree to it. As much as I love sports, they are in a sense breaking promises by holding the fans who support them hostage by not being able to come to terms and striking/locking out, and not putting a product on the ice.
I'm probably as free market as anyone on this board, but it was not sound business sense for the one sport that depends on attendance for revenue to take half of the year off. Leadership between Bettman and Fehr was lacking to say the least. I'll probably cancel NHL Gamecenter to show my displeasure over how this labor dispute was handled, but giving free Gamecenter could have a positive impact for some on how the game is received back in the public's eyes.
I don't understand holding hostage. They had no product. You got not product. How is that holding hostage? They didn't withhold anything from you as there wasn't anything to withhold.

Nathan Eccleston has had his loan spell with Huddersfield Town extended until the end of the season.
The striker, who scored on his debut for the Terriers during Saturday's 1-0 win at Yeovil Town, will stay with Lee Clark's side until May 8, 2010.
The former Academy starlet, who recently put pen to paper on a new deal with the Reds, made the move to Melwood full-time during the summer and made his first team debut for the club this season.
He made his bow against Arsenal in the Carling Cup before he appeared against Fulham in the Barclays Premier League.

Oklahoma has suspended freshman running back Joe Mixon for the season after he pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor charge of assault.
Mixon is accused of knocking a woman unconscious with a punch and breaking several bones in her face last month.
The release said school President David Boren accepted the recommendation of athletic director Joe Castiglione and coach Bob Stoops. Mixon will be excluded from all team activities and removed from the team roster.
The school said with appropriate conditions, Mixon will be permitted to continue as a student, eligible for financial aid.

We passed by One World Trade, aka the Freedom Tower, and we can safely say that a lot of construction has taken place externally since we last visited it in January.
The glass has gone up another seven or so floors and there are now visible vertical slats in the glass. Perhaps needed for the placement of generators or other mechanical equipment.
As you can see in the above photo, the western construction elevator has been fully removed, while below, the eastern construction elevator still stands up to the roof.

South African born, Dave Richardson, became the first wicket keeper for his country when they returned from international isolation in 1992. His ability to battle against odds made him an important part of the squad he retired from International cricket in 1998 after an illustrious career in which he represented his country in 42 Test matches and 122 ODIs with a single Test hundred to his name - a gritty 109 made against New Zealand at Cape Town in 1994-95.
A lawyer by training and with his articulate views on cricket, he continued his connection with cricket initially as a business agent for several players. In January 2002, he was appointed as the ICC's first General Manager and on 28th June 2012 Richardson was appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer of the ICC.
In exclusive remarks to PakPassion.net, Richardson spoke of the ICCs role in promotion of T20 leagues round the world as well as initiatives to encourage the popularity of the game on a global scale. He also addressed some common misconceptions about the role of his organization in matters such as alleged favouritism of richer Cricket boards and commented on the length of ban on Mohammed Amir.
PakPassion.net: What role does the ICC see in governing T20 leagues around the world?
Dave Richardson: These are domestic events which are run by our Member Boards. ICC Board agreed that domestic T20 leagues can add to the game as a whole and that any deliberations should be aimed at the growth and sustainability of international cricket by attaining co-existence between domestic T20 leagues and the international game.
Domestic Twenty20 leagues have provided so many opportunities for players and officials alike as well as entertaining large domestic crowds. A workable and balanced international playing calendar is key to the sustainability of the game. We also need to ensure that cricket is played in a corruption-free environment.
The ICC Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) is doing some great work in this regard. All Boards should be complimented on the progress they have made in putting their own anti-corruption resources in place but this is only the first step. Effective implementation of appropriate programmes and processes together with the timely and effective investigation and prosecution of all reported incidents is also crucial.
PakPassion.net: Some fans perhaps in their eternal optimism believe that Mohammad Amirs ban could be reduced from 5 years. Can you clarify if this is possible or not and thus end the speculation?
Dave Richardson: Under the ICC Anti-Corruption Code the minimum ban is 5 years and at this stage there is no plan to change that minimum sanction.
PakPassion.net: Do you regret taking your task force, with Geoff Lawson, to try to force the New Zealand team to travel to the Champions Trophy in Pakistan especially after the hotel they were supposed to be in, was bombed when they were originally supposed to be there?
Dave Richardson: The so-called task team was made up of ICC officials and included an independent security advisor. The job of the task team was simply to advise the various Boards and players the facts of the security situation in Pakistan at the time and the security plan that had been proposed to deal with the situation so that they could make an informed decision themselves on whether it was safe to travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. The task team made no attempt to hide the facts or the extent of the threat as it was known to ICC at the time.
PakPassion.net: Some fans believe that the ICC favours the richer cricket boards. How can this opinion be changed?
Dave Richardson: The ICC Board comprises of the 10 Full Member chairmen/presidents and each have an equal vote. It is for those members to decide on what is best for the game and make their decisions accordingly.
PakPassion.net: Some feel that cricket needs to be expanded and more countries need to become permanent members. What are you doing to make this happen?
Dave Richardson: There is an expansive development programme which caters for the 96 members below the Full Members and recently the ICC has introduced at Targeted Assistance and Performance Programme which is aimed at improving the performances of the lower ranked Full Members as well as the leading Associates and Affiliates.
Through the Pepsi World Cricket League there is a clear progression path for Associate and Affiliate nations which has seen countries such as Afghanistan as well as Ireland, Scotland and Netherlands emerge recently. It also provides a qualification path to the ICC Cricket World Cup.
The ICC Strategic plan also encourages the development of more competitive countries. Full Members are also encouraged to play Associate and Affiliate countries on a regular basis to help with their development.
PakPassion.net: Is the ICC mulling a separate window for the IPL?
Dave Richardson: No window has been requested nor discussed although ICC and the Member Boards are looking at the best ways of capitalizing on the success of T20 cricket domestically around the world.
PakPassion.net: Your thoughts on the potential introduction of a two division setup, with promotion and relegation in Test cricket?
Dave Richardson: This hasnt been discussed and our aim is to increase the number of competitive countries not to set up a two tier competition.
PakPassion.net: What developments have been made in regards to the ICC Test Championship we'll see in 2017?
Dave Richardson: The event is scheduled for England in 2017 and over the next year we will identify the qualification process.
PakPassion.net: Is there any indication that we will be seeing day/night tests in the not-too-distant future?
Dave Richardson: In Kuala Lumpur at our Annual Conference in 2012 it was agreed that countries wishing to play day night test matches can do so with the approval of their opponents. There have been several trials at domestic level of coloured cricket balls, encouraged by the ICC, and there is still some debate on the quality and the best colour for day night cricket.

ARTS & VINE: Festival continues predecessor's legacy with some of state's best potters
"Pottery" is no longer in the title for Sanford's annual spring festival, but make no mistake.
Pottery is still king.
The first Sanford Arts & Vine Festival — which replaces the now defunct Sanford Pottery Festival after a successful 11-year run — will begin Friday night with a kickoff concert at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center and will continue Saturday and Sunday with artists, wineries, breweries and food vendors from all over the state.
Of the 80-plus artist vendors scheduled to appear over the weekend, more than half of the artists work with clay. The potters hail from all over the state, but the majority will be making the one-hour trip from Seagrove, world famous for its pottery.
"Lee County has a long history in the pottery tradition of North Carolina," said Bob Joyce, president of the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce, one of the organizations heading the first Arts & Vine. Joyce points to North State Pottery, which operated in Sanford from 1924 to 1959 and worked with some of the best artists in the Piedmont, including M.L. Owens, Charlie and Braxton Craven and Emmitt Albright. North State's owners, Henry and Rebecca Palmer Cooper, were recognized for developing their own system for the production, publicizing and marketing of pottery as art.
The North State mark is highly prized by collectors, Joyce said.
"Our Arts and Vine Festival continues to honor this long tradition in the Piedmont pottery culture of North Carolina," he added. "From the Coopers and A.R. Cole in the early part of the 20th century to today's pottery artists, Lee County is proud of its heritage in this art form."
Boyd Owens, son of M.L. Owens and owner of Original Owens Pottery in Seagrove, said he's glad to see Arts & Vine pick up where the Sanford Pottery Festival left off, and he's happy to see that potters will be joined by artists of other mediums under the same roof.
"Some shows we've done, there will be 200 potters set up, and it's almost overkill," said Owens, whose shop is famous for its signature Owens red glaze. "To be successful at these shows, you need something that stands out. We don't do many shows, but when we do, we bring our signature items. When everybody does that … the customers benefit."
Also scheduled to appear this weekend is Sanford's own North Cole Pottery, owned by Sandy Cole — granddaughter of A.R. Cole — and her husband, Kevin Brown. The Cole family has been making pottery in North Carolina since the 1700s, and A.R. Cole set up a pottery shop in Sanford along U.S. 1 in the early 1930s to lure tourists off what was then the main route from the industrial northeast to Florida.
"His pots were sold to tourists by the thousands from 1934 to 1974, and his work was even sold internationally, particularly in Cuba," Joyce said. "The glazes perfected by Mr. Cole trended toward bright, rainbow colors ... colors that customers wanted to buy. He was an excellent businessman, in addition to being a creative genius."
Returning to Sanford after a multi-year hiatus from the Pottery Festival is Ray Pottery, whose work has been featured in many of the promotional materials sent out by the Arts & Vine marketing team this year. Husband and wife Paul and Sheila Ray started their business more than a decade ago — a few years after Paul quit his full-time job to work in his parents' pottery shop.
The Rays do about 18 shows a year, most of them in the fall, and Paul said the shows are important to his business because he's not only able to sell his work, but he's able to get his name out to the masses … those who wouldn't typically make the trip to Seagrove.
"We won't attend a festival unless we think we can profit from it," Ray said. "It has to be worth our time, of course … but if someone at Arts & Vine approaches us, likes what they see and follows up online or in our shop later, then that's great, too. You want to show your best work, and the residuals from these shows can be very beneficial."

DECATUR, ILLINOIS, June 15, 2014 – With wind gusts topping at 37 miles-per-hour and sustained wind of 22 to 25 mph all day, Madison Pressel used a late surge to top Ashley Tait on the first playoff hole to win the 30th anniversary Decatur-Forsyth Classic presented by Tate & Lyle and Decatur Park District on Sunday. Pressel and Tait were tied at 6-under-par at the end of 18 holes.
"There are really no words to explain this, I just plugged along today and I've had definitely one of the best weekends I've had playing on Tour," said the 22-year-old, who shot an even-par 72 to force the playoff. "This is probably the best I've played since my junior year of college so to be able to play like this and come away with a win is going to be huge for me for the rest of the season."
Tait appeared to have the championship wrapped up heading into the 17th hole, three shots up on Pressel at 8-under. However, Tait found trouble and made a double bogey while Pressel capitalized by making birdie to even the score heading to the 18th.
On the 18th, both players made tap-in pars to force a playoff.
On the first playoff hole, Pressel was first to putt and sunk a 20-footer from above the green. Tait missed her birdie putt to the right of the hole and Pressel was doused with water on the green in celebration of her first professional win.
"I fortunately have seen this situation unfold before, I've watched Morgan (her older sister) play many match play events and I've seen how quickly things can turn around and I just continued to play my game. I didn't worry about what anyone I was playing with was doing and if I made some birdies, I made some birdies."
Both players hit excellent approach shots on the first playoff hole.
"I hit a great 3-wood off the tee and a great approach shot and I was feeling a little adrenaline. I was a little shaky with the hands but a yoga breath calmed me down and it just broke a little to the right. I saw it, I stroked it and it went in and that was the best feeling."
Her first professional victory moves her from 110th on the Volvik Race for the Card money list to 17th. The winner's check of $15,000 increased her earnings to $17,126 for the season.
"This win is unbelievable, my family has been supporting me through everything and to know that I'm not letting them down and I'm not letting myself down is great. To show that I do belong out here really means a lot."
Pressel shared a moment with her big sister Morgan, a two-time winner on the LPGA Tour, on the phone after her win.
"It's the first win for the Pressel girls in quite awhile and for it to be my first professional win is great. I know she remembers the Kraft (Morgan won the Kraft Nabisco Championship in 2007) her first professional win and I remember sitting on my friends sofa and watching her win that and how freaked out I was. She is at Pinehurst sitting with her caddie and a bunch of friends and she is absolutely freaking out. She said I made her so nervous."
Pressel is the first Symetra Tour rookie to win this season.
Tait jumped from 90th to 32nd on the Volvik Race for the Card money list with her first career top-10 finish.
Hye-Min Kim and Ashley Sholer finished in a tie for third place.
Cheyenne Woods finished in a six-way tie for fifth at 3-under for the tournament. It was her best finish of the season.

Item #: SIGTORN129R
SIGNUM PRO Tornado 1.29 Reel Tennis String
Our staff has not reviewed this product yet.
For players seeking the ultimate in spin and long lasting playability, Signum Pro Tornado 1.29 offers greater durability with slightly reduced spin compared to its thinner version. This string uses an updated molecular optimization on the popular Poly Plasma. The excellent spin generation of this string is aided by the heptagonal (7-sided) shape along with the axial twisting which increases the amount of ball bite that is possible. The new co-polyester formulation for Tornado increases its elasticity for greater comfort and power than typically polyester strings. Signum suggests stringing Tornado around 10% lower than your normal string due to the enhanced tension maintenance. The string is recommended for strong baseline players that want spin and power from a durable string.
Construction: Co-polyester monofilament
Color: Anthracite
Gauge: 1.29mm

Isogloss map for -s- aspiration in Iberian Peninsula Spanish, according to ALPI .
The -s- (and -z-) aspiration is considered one of the 2 key dialectal markers for Spanish, along with /s/ and /z/ distinction. In fact, there seems to be a relationship between both characteristics. Though the map reflects isolated cases of -s- aspiration in northern Spain, it's likely that they stem from some kind of contact with southern speakers. For most northern speakers, the -s- aspiration was a pretty sure way to detect a southerner. Today the -s- aspirating variety of the language is expanding quickly to the north in Spain.
The words registered in the ALPI surveys that have been used in this map are :
Map Legend
Zone A : Points where postvowel -s- is aspirated in 3 or 4 out of all 4 words.
Zone B : Points where postvowel -s- is aspirated in 1 or 2 out of all 4 words.
Zone C : Points where postvowel -s- is not aspirated.
Zone D : Other languages. Zones where historically Spanish is not the local language.

Brief: Onetime district attorney ignored warnings
Tracey Cline ignored the warnings of two judges who told her to stick to the facts when writing motions, according to an answer to Cline's appeal of her removal as district attorney of Durham County.
The brief, submitted by attorney Burton Craige, was filed Monday with the N.C. Court of Appeals and was an answer to Cline's appeal in which she claimed that her First Amendment rights were violated, that her due process rights were violated, and that the statute used to remove her from office was constitutionally vague.
On Jan. 18, Durham attorney Kerry Sutton filed an affidavit in Durham County Superior Court requesting an inquiry into removing Cline from office.
Sutton's affidavit was filed after Cline had written motions accusing Resident Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson of willful misconduct, of being dishonest and corrupt, along with a number of things, including saying he had the reprobate mind of a monarch and that his conduct would rot the justice system to the core.
Cline claimed Hudson was purposefully ruling against her in cases because he became angry with her when she would not cooperate with him on another case.
After a hearing in February, Superior Court Judge Robert Hobgood entered a court order removing Cline from office, saying her actions were prejudicial to the administration of justice and that she had brought the Durham County District Attorney's office into disrepute when she wrote the inflammatory motions about Hudson.
Superior Court Judges Carl Fox and James Hardin, who had both served as district attorneys before becoming judges, warned Cline that she should not make unsubstantiated and false statements in motions or affidavits about Hudson or other matters, the brief stated.
"Cline's motions, totaling over 500 pages of wild and unsubstantiated accusations, lack any factual support for the attacks on Judge Hudson's character, conduct and fitness to be a judge," the brief stated.
"Cline continued to repeat these accusations after Judge Fox found the factual support for her motions to be 'woefully inadequate,' and after both Judge Fox and Judge Hardin explicitly warned and admonished her about filing pleadings with false statements," the brief stated.
Instead of filing the motions against Hudson, Cline, who had filed a complaint with the Judicial Standards Commission about Hudson, should have waited on its decision, the brief stated.
The brief also argued that Cline received due process and that the statute used to remove her was not constitutionally vague.
"Cline's calculated assault on Judge Hudson over a period of seven weeks is more detrimental to the justice system than a district attorney's utterance of a racial epithet in a singled heated exchange in a bar, which the Supreme Court found to be sufficient grounds for removal [in another case]," the brief stated.
The hearing also did not violate Cline's constitutional rights because she was given notice of the charges against her and had full opportunity to contest the charges, the brief stated.
The decision to remove her from office also did not violate her First Amendment rights because "Cline's malicious accusations against Judge Hudson were false and made with reckless disregard of the truth," and "they are not protected by the First Amendment," the brief stated.
The Court of Appeals will consider Cline's appeal and the brief in response to it before ruling. Cline is seeking to have her removal overturned or to have another hearing on the matter.

"This was a favorite card as we received Christmas cards from family and friends there was no card that we received that we liked better than the one we sent. Loved it!"
"We used the rustic wood look with a fun photo to make a unique new years card. Ours was definitely the most noticed on anyone's mantle - everyone agreed! The inside allowed personalization and our very own year recap which is always great to share and allows our loved ones to keep up with our year. The quality is always fantastic and this year we even signed up for the postage and addressing by Tiny Prints. They were amazingly fast! Thanks Tiny Prints!"
"This Christmas card was simply beautiful! I received so many complements on them. I did the gold color choice on the front with a holiday picture of my kids. Then on the top inside flap I did the birth announcement of my daughter with a single photo and the details. Finally on the back I did a single photo of our new home with a message that We've Moved! It was perfect for all three cards in one! I also had it printed with the glossy paper and that made the photos pop!! I totally recommend these for your holiday cards."
"Easy to create our Christmas card using this card layout. Perhaps just my unfamiliarity with the product but would have liked to have been able to put a text box on the front of the card in front of the pic. We got the glossy print this year (versus matte last year) and much prefer the glossy look. Overall, great product."
"It really added warmth and beauty to my holiday card. It made my picture look like a winter wonderland, even though we didn't have "real" snow in the pics. LOVED the design and the quality was amazing. I have ordered my Christmas cards the last two years from Tiny Prints,and I will continue to order my Holiday cards and other products through them."

What To Do When You Can't Run
- By Mackenzie Lobby
- Published Aug 8, 2014
IT band syndrome
Typical healing time:
2–6 weeks
Alternative: Cycling. In addition to an aggressive stretching routine, cycling can provide a cardio exercise that avoids the repetitive movements that often cause IT band issues. Think of this as an opportunity to do a bike-focused block of training.
Try this: Do a workout using varied cadences on either your bike outside or on a trainer, or, at the least, a stationary bike with foot straps at the gym. Be sure to monitor the resistance so you are pedaling the prescribed revolutions per minute (RPM).
– Warm-up: 10 min
– Ride at 80 RPM for 5 min
– Increase to 90 RPM for 8 min
– Increase to 110 RPM for 2 min
– Repeat 2–3 times
– Cool-down: 5 min

Misericordia University Students Face Drug Charges
Four Misericordia University students are facing drug charges.
Police arrested three students and another man early Thursday morning at an apartment on Route 415 in Dallas Township.
Thursday morning Dean Tilton and Donald Squire, both of New York and Casey Weisenback of New Jersey were arrested, accused of selling drugs. A fourth man, Eddie Perry of New York, who is not a student, was also arrested.
Police also found drug paraphernalia, prescription drugs and more than $3,000 in the apartment that was raided Thursday.
A Dallas Township zoning officer also condemned the apartment after the raid because it was unfit habitation.
The arrests follow an arrest last month of a man from Scranton who police said was selling marijuana from his home at Misericordia Townhouses. Police said when Garry Melville was arrested March 16 he had half a pound of marijuana and $500.
