In the last year, school cafeteria managers faced revenue loss as more students began throwing away their green beans and brown-bagging their lunches.
As lunch prices increase and sodium, protein and serving sizes are expected to be regulated for school breakfasts as part of the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, parents and cafeteria managers once again will be at odds about what to feed the children.
The 2012-13 school year was the first to be affected by the U.S. Department of Agricultures guidelines on calories, grains and protein for school lunches. Schools in the National School Lunch Program needed to comply by having students take the required fruit and vegetable portions in order to be reimbursed for free and reduced lunches. September was a tough month for most school districts in the north country, when students rebelled against the smaller portions and calorie-restricted meals by bringing in their own.
The students who did not bring their lunches were throwing away untouched the three-bean salad, milk and whole wheat spaghetti that were put on their trays.
Students throwing away food is nothing new for Craig P. Orvis, Watertown City School District food service director.
Waste-wise, yeah, theres waste, he said. Theres always been waste. I dont think theres more waste. Its just more highly priced waste.
Watertown has one of the biggest school lunch programs in the north country but never recovered from the revenue nosedive last fall when students started packing lunch.
We used to have 67 percent of our student body buying lunch, Mr. Orvis said. At the end of the year, we were running at 64 percent.
As meals have gone up in cost, so have the lunch prices. This year, most schools were federally mandated to increase the price to eventually meet the amount they are given for free- and reduced-lunch reimbursements.
Watertown increased its elementary prices by 20 cents last year to avoid having to increase them again this year.
LaFargeville Central and General Brown Central school districts increased theirs by 10 cents. South Jefferson Central School increased elementary prices by 10 cents, while middle and high school lunches had a 5-cent change.
South of here, a few districts have quit the federal program, including the Schenectady-area Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Central Schools system, whose five lunchrooms ended the year $100,000 in the red.
Near Albany, Voorheesville Central School District Superintendent Teresa Thayer Snyder said her district lost $30,000 in the first three months. The program didnt even make it through the school year there after students repeatedly complained about the small portions, and apples and pears went from the tray to the trash untouched.
Districts that leave the program are free to develop their own guidelines. Voorheesvilles chef began serving such dishes as salad topped with flank steak and crumbled cheese, pasta with chicken and mushrooms and a panini with chicken, red peppers and cheese.
However, not every district can afford to quit. The National School Lunch Program provides cash reimbursements for each meal served: about $2.50 to $3 for free and reduced-priced meals and about 30 cents for full-price meals. That takes the option of quitting off the table for schools with large numbers of youngsters from low-income families.
Last years switch in lunch offerings spelled $24,881.89 in losses for South Jefferson. Initially, the district feared it would lose as much as $40,000 based on projections from earlier in the school year.
When district officials learned the losses were only around $25,000, we were actually breathing a sigh of relief, said Business Administrator Joseph J. Eberle at the district Board of Education meeting Monday night.
Mr. Eberle said the lunch changes led to a decrease in student participation by 25 percent, which drastically undercut the federal and state money that helps support the program. The districts lunch fund now sits at $93,618, after starting last year at $118,500. The less-than-expected loss means that the district will have about three to four years before the fund runs out, which may require a general-fund transfer to keep the program afloat.
When we long-range planned, we thought we had three years. At the halfway point, I thought we only had two years, Mr. Eberle said. We were relieved to see that we have another year, if you will, until we run out of cash.
Despite the regulations, the district is making one change that it feels may help win back students: returning macaroni and cheese and hot dogs for lunch on opening day. Last year, the district pulled the items, which have appeared on the first days menu for years, because of the new guidelines. The district also is getting students opinions on food items that may become a part of future menus.
Students at General Brown bought 200 fewer lunches last year than in the 2011-12 school year.
Although the breakfast program made $27,000, district administrators anticipate upcoming guideline changes to the breakfast program will have negative effects.
District officials said they fear they cannot raise lunch prices fast enough.
Throughout the 2012-13 school year, the district increased the price of lunches by 30 cents, from $1.75 to $2.05.
It probably wont stop there.
Its hardly going to put a dent in it, said Lisa K. Smith, district treasurer. In order to make up the gap, youd have to increase lunch prices by over 50 cents. Thats not feasible.
Other challenges the district faces include not being reimbursed for meals if students do not take all food items offered for that meal on their trays, and the struggle to recoup the $7,000 owed to the district from parents whose children have unpaid balances. Mrs. Smith said repeated letters go out to those residents until the balances are paid; if it persists through 12th grade, the district reserves the right to withhold a students diploma.
Although LaFargeville managed to keep its cafeterias revenue positive, Superintendent Travis W. Hoover is nervous about the upcoming year. For example, breakfast no longer will be the popular eggs and sausage plate, because that meal contains too much protein.
Its a concern, for sure, Mr. Hoover said. Its getting tighter and tighter, just like for the rest of the school.
He said many of the wellness changes at his district began five years ago, helping to ease the school into the federally mandated regulations. While there was a dip in revenue at first, the cafeteria was back in the black after September.
We had already eliminated some of the more fatty items and fried items, Mr. Hoover said.
LaFargeville also promoted new fruits like star fruit and vegetables during Try-it Tuesday.
Thats one of the biggest things, just getting kids to try new foods, Mr. Hoover said.
However, that does not keep food out of the trash. Mr. Hoover said many students in his district do not like drinking milk, and end up throwing it away.
The more food that gets tossed out, the hungrier students will be later in the day.
Theyre famished when they come home, said Donelle L. Thompson, mother of three children who attend LaFargeville. Theyre starving. And theyre required to take a serving of fresh fruit whether theyll eat it or not, which I find really wasteful.
Her children, who are seventh- to 10th-graders, buy lunch at school depending on what is served. When they came home last year, she said, the first words out of their mouths was, What is there to eat?
In Clayton, parent Sarah M. Cox said she does not rely on Thousand Islands Central Schools lunches to nourish her rising fourth-grader, 9-year-old Jack B. Natali Jr. She said she does not understand why schools continue to serve frozen pizza and chicken nuggets despite the USDA restrictions.
All theyre doing is making them go home and eat more, she said. I think if you want to lower obesity, you should have different choices, not less of the same choices.
She and Mrs. Thompson said they do not blame schools for the changes over the past year. However, the parents said they want to see better changes made by the government.
I like that there are more fruits and vegetable choices, but it should be a choice, Mrs. Thompson said. Too much is being shoved down their throat pardon the pun.

Offshore recruiter for $800 a month!
That was the header in an email I received recently. The email indicated that my name came up during a search for leading staff augmentation firms. I don't have a staff augmentation firm, but I take it as a compliment that if I did have one it would be presumed to be leading, even though that presumption was part of a bulk email. One must get one's compliments where one can.
All that aside, the thought of hiring a recruiter for $800 a month makes me wonder if I should start a staff augmentation firm just to take advantage of the pricing. The last time we surveyed on the question of pay (back in 2005), domestic recruiters were getting about four times that.
With such savings to be had, no wonder that staffing firms are taking great interest in the offshoring and/or outsourcing of recruiters -- and that's not just anecdotal, our latest survey results on the subject bear that out.
Should you get on the bandwagon? Industry consultants seem to think so. At our most recent Executive Forum, I moderated a panel on ideas to save money and/or boost revenue. Out of the five consultants presenting ideas, three independently proposed talking about offshoring recruiters as one of the best ways to save money.

RICHFORD-The Lake Region Rangers made the most of their eight hits as they used alert base running and took advantage of ten Richford walks en route to a fifteen run rule 17-2 six inning victory over the Falcons.
The Rangers were led offensively by catcher Corey Whitten and third baseman Trevor Royer, who drove in three runs each. Winning pitcher Kyle Perry, who gave up only four hits in five innings, added three hits to aid his own cause.
The Rangers held an 8-1 led going into the sixth inning when they sent 17 men to the plate scoring nine runs to put the contest on ice.

LONDON (MarketWatch) — European stock markets posted stellar broad-based gains Wednesday, as investors returning from the New Year's break cheered a deal in Washington to avert the so-called fiscal cliff, widely seen as potentially threatening a U.S. recession.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, -0.92% jumped 2% to end at 285.33, the highest closing level since February 2011.
Obama praises fiscal-cliff deal
President Barack Obama says he'll sign the bill sent to him by Congress to avert the fiscal cliff.
Richard Perry, chief market strategist at Central Markets, said the rally was supported by the fiscal-cliff solution, but that he was concerned "that much will already now be priced in."
"The whole fiscal-cliff scenario still looks like a bit of a fudge to me, too," he said.
"Obama is already answering questions about the debt ceiling in February, so focus will quickly turn to that. I think this could easily weigh on the markets," he said.

U.S. fiscal-cliff deal
Broader sentiment was buoyed by overnight news that U.S. lawmakers passed a budget deal to avoid the fiscal cliff of large-scale tax hikes for most Americans and deep spending cuts that had slated to take effect in 2013. The deal raises tax rates on upper-level household incomes, extends unemployment benefits and delays across-the-board spending cuts for two months, but it also lets a 2% payroll-tax cut lapse.

China PMI
Resource stocks were among London's biggest advancers, with sentiment also lifted by data that showed the Chinese manufacturing sector continued to expand, albeit modestly, in December. Oil prices and most metals prices were also on the rise. See: China's official December manufacturing PMI unchanged

NORFOLK The Town Council is reviewing a proposal for a solar power project that could generate enough power to reduce substantially electric bills at Hepburn Library, the municipal building and the town highway garage.
Project leader Timothy Opdyke, Northern Lights Energy owner Scott Shipley and consultant Jason A. Clark made their pitch to the Town Council last week for the installation of a solar generation park on approximately an acre and a half of property on Crabb Street near the water tower.
The project would be built to generate 50 kilowatts of electricity, Mr. Opdyke said. He estimated the cost of the project at $187,500.
Mr. Shipley already has been involved in a similar project in Russell. He and Mr. Opdyke initially discussed placing solar panels at the library, but concluded that ground installation at the Crabb Street site is a better option because the library lacks southerly roof surface.
Mr. Shipley said the plan could benefit the town.
The panels are largely made by the manufacturers to last for 25 years, he said. There arent moving parts in solar panels; they dont break. Technologys been around for a long time. ... What is new is that the cost of this job has improved in the last few years. It is now cost effective to install your own solar electricity system.
Mr. Opdyke said aid could come from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.
Our friends at NYSERDA will give us $1,400 per kilowatt up to 50 kilowatts, or $70,000, he said.
Mr. Clark said the Friends of the Norfolk Library could donate approximately $25,000 toward the project, and he would lead a fundraising effort for an additional $30,000. The projects backers also are seeking $57,000 from the Town Council.
Mr. Clark said the annual payback during the loan would be about $6,500 for seven to 10 years. He noted that with estimates showing the project could generate $7,000 worth of electricity a year, the plan could save the town $500 in the first year.
Town Supervisor Charles A. Pernice said the proposal appeared to have merit. The local library has been losing funding sources. They had money coming from the county. They lost that. Their state funding has been reduced. They are just looking for ways to cut costs, Mr. Pernice said. Essentially, with the solar plant, theoretically, if it works the way its supposed to work, our electric bills will be essentially nothing, hopefully.
The next steps in the process include more research, obtaining funds from NYSERDA and taking a trip to Russell to review the recently completed solar project there.
Mr. Opdyke said he was somewhat optimistic the project could be in place for next spring.
At the next town board meeting Aug. 12, hopefully we would have a proposal they would accept, he said. They would hopefully have a contract. Realistically, this will go up next spring. Thats my best guess.

Poll Results: 68% say the expect Mets to trade Dickey
In a poll on MetsBlog.com yesterday, 68% of 5,550 voters said they expect the Mets to trade R.A. Dickey (and not sign him to an extension) this winter.
Earlier this week, 55% of voters said they would prefer to see Dickey traded, while 37% said they would sign him to a three-year extension, with just 9% saying the team should do nothing, start next year with him, but consider trading him next summer.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
I just had a long talk with Ted Berg about this, and we'd be both be willing to bet the Mets determine it makes most sense to trade Dickey even if he is willing to accept only a two-year extension beyond 2013. Why? Because, at the peak of his value, and with one year and $5 million on his deal, the Mets can surely acquire a young bat for him (plus other prospects) who will be significantly better than any internal options or affordable free agents available, especially compared to what it will take to replace Dickey in the rotation. It's a big bet, and very difficult to stomach, but it's the right way forward given the team's needs and assets.
So, who can the Mets trade with? The buzz in baseball indicates that American League teams, ready to win and playing in a pitcher's park are most likely to have interest in Dickey. To me, that sounds a lot like the A's. However, there is an argument to made that he fits in nicely with the Angels, despite the ballpark.
Frankly, swapping Dickey for Angels OF Peter Bourjos seems to make sense, though the Mets would need to get a bit more back in that deal. Bourjos is young, under contract, athletic and plays a terrific center field. However, he lacks the power I think Sandy Alderson will likely to try to get knowing he could always go with Kirk Nieuwenhuis in center field. But, there seems to be a deal there worth exploring…
I know A's GM Billy Beane is a total wildcard, which is why I try not to understand his motives. But, I wonder if Beane will consider trading Yoenis Cespedes or Brandon Moss, knowing he could sell high (on guys who had breakout seasons) and still move Dickey next summer?
Also interesting, CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman said earlier that teams are asking San Francisco about Brandon Belt, who has played games in left field during his career. It'd be a shame to move him off first base, because he's such a good defender. But, his bat and age profile like someone who would pique Alderson's interest…

UBS News Alert
UBS's second-quarter 2013 result
UBS adjusted¹ profit before tax CHF 1 billion
BIS Basel III fully applied CET1 capital ratio 11.2%
UBS to acquire SNB StabFund equity, boosting BIS Basel III CET1
capital ratio by 70-90 basis points in fourth quarter 2013
Zurich/Basel, 30 July 2013 – UBS delivered a second-quarter adjusted¹ profit before tax of
CHF 1,022 million. On a reported basis, profit before tax was CHF 1,020 million. UBS's underlying performance was strong in an environment that remained challenging. The result was achieved despite pre-tax charges for the quarter totaling approximately CHF 865 million for litigation matters and certain other significant provisions and an impairment of financial assets, as the firm continued to address issues from the past. UBS reinforced its position as the best-capitalized bank in its peer group with its BIS Basel III fully applied common equity tier 1 ratio increasing to 11.2%. Halfway through the year, the firm surpassed its Basel III risk-weighted asset (RWA) reduction target for the year, with Group Basel III fully applied RWA down CHF 20 billion to CHF 239 billion, primarily due to reductions in Non-core and Legacy Portfolio.
UBS expects to exercise the option to acquire the SNB StabFund's equity in the fourth quarter of 2013, and estimates that this transaction will boost its industry-leading fully applied BIS Basel III CET1 capital ratio by an additional 70-90 basis points in the fourth quarter.
Wealth Management delivered its highest profit in four years excluding charges related to the Swiss-UK tax agreement and restructuring costs, and it attracted robust inflows. Wealth Management Americas achieved another record profit as well as record revenues, invested assets and productivity per financial advisor. UBS's wealth management businesses have attracted net new money of over CHF 36 billion year-to-date, up over 50% on the first half of 2012. Retail & Corporate's profit increased despite the ongoing low interest environment. Global Asset Management delivered a steady adjusted¹ result in a challenging quarter. The Investment Bank deployed its resources efficiently to deliver another strong performance.
UBS continued its disciplined strategic execution
- Adjusted¹ Group profit before tax CHF 1,022 million; net profit attributable to UBS shareholders CHF 690 million; diluted earnings per share CHF 0.18
- Adjusted¹ Group operating income CHF 7,251 million compared with CHF 7,983 million in the prior quarter, mainly reflecting lower net interest and trading income
- Adjusted¹ Group operating expenses CHF 6,229 million compared with CHF 6,081 million in the prior quarter, predominantly reflecting higher general and administrative costs
- Fully applied BIS Basel III CET1 ratio up 1.1% to 11.2%; phase-in BIS Basel III CET1 ratio up 0.9% to 16.2%
- Continued successful deleveraging of Group balance sheet; down CHF 85 billion to
CHF 1,129 billion
- Swiss SRB leverage ratio up to 3.9%; leverage, funding and liquidity ratios all comfortably above regulatory requirements
Commenting on UBS's second-quarter results, Group Chief Executive Officer
Sergio P. Ermotti said, "I am very pleased with our performance this quarter. The results show that our strategy is right and we're ahead on execution. Every quarter since we set the strategy in 2011, we have executed it in a very clear and disciplined way building an unmatched capital position and delivering for our clients."
Second-quarter 2013 net profit attributable to UBS shareholders CHF 690 million
Second-quarter 2013 net profit attributable to UBS shareholders was CHF 690 million compared with CHF 988 million in the first quarter of 2013. On an adjusted basis, the second-quarter profit before tax was CHF 1,022 million compared with CHF 1,901 million in the prior quarter. On a reported basis, profit before tax was CHF 1,020 million compared with CHF 1,447 million in the prior quarter. Operating income decreased by CHF 386 million, primarily due to lower net interest and trading income. Operating expenses increased by CHF 42 million, predominantly as a result of higher general and administrative expenses, partly offset by decreased variable compensation performance awards. In the second quarter, we recorded a tax expense of CHF 125 million compared with CHF 458 million in the prior quarter. Net profit attributable to preferred noteholders was CHF 204 million compared with zero in the first quarter.
Wealth Management's profit before tax in the second quarter was CHF 557 million compared with CHF 664 million in the prior quarter. Adjusted profit before tax decreased by CHF 83 million to
CHF 607 million and included a charge of CHF 104 million in relation to the Swiss-UK tax agreement. Excluding also this charge, profit before tax was CHF 711 million, an increase of
CHF 21 million from the previous quarter. Operating income was CHF 1,953 million compared with
CHF 1,913 million in the prior quarter. The gross margin on invested assets decreased 1 basis point to 90 basis points as average invested assets increased faster than income. Operating expenses increased by CHF 146 million to CHF 1,396 million, mainly due to the charge in relation to the Swiss-UK tax agreement. All regions contributed to net new money inflows of
CHF 10.1 billion. The cost / income ratio increased to 71.5% from 64.9%. Adjusted for restructuring costs of CHF 50 million in the second quarter and CHF 26 million in the prior quarter, the cost / income ratio increased to 69.0% from 63.6% and was within our target range of 60% to 70%.
Wealth Management Americas' profit before tax was USD 258 million compared with
USD 251 million in the prior quarter. Adjusted for restructuring charges, profit before tax increased by USD 7 million to USD 269 million from USD 262 million. Operating income was
USD 1,792 million compared with USD 1,737 million in the prior quarter. Operating expenses were
USD 1,534 million compared with USD 1,486 million. Net new money inflows declined to USD 2.8 billion from USD 9.2 billion, partly reflecting client withdrawals of around USD 2.5 billion associated with annual income tax payments. The gross margin on invested assets was unchanged at
80 basis points and remained within the target range of 75 to 85 basis points. The gross margin from recurring income increased 3 basis points due to higher managed account fees and interest income, while the gross margin from non-recurring income decreased 3 basis points due to lower transaction-based revenue and lower realized gains from sales of financial investments held in the available-for-sale portfolio. The cost / income ratio was 85.6%, broadly in line with 85.5% in the prior quarter. On an adjusted basis, the cost / income ratio was 85.0% compared with 84.9% in the prior quarter, and remained within the target range of 80% to 90%.
The Investment Bank recorded a profit before tax of CHF 775 million compared with
CHF 977 million in the prior quarter. Adjusted profit before tax was CHF 806 million compared with CHF 928 million. Adjusted return on attributed equity for the quarter was 38% compared with 47% in the prior quarter, and was consistent with our target of over 15%. Operating income was
CHF 2,250 million compared with CHF 2,783 million in the prior quarter. Both Corporate Client Solutions and Investor Client Services reported lower revenues. Total operating expenses decreased 18% to CHF 1,475 million from CHF 1,806 million, mainly due to lower variable compensation accruals. Adjusted for restructuring charges of CHF 31 million in the second quarter compared with CHF 6 million in the first quarter, operating expenses decreased 20% to
CHF 1,444 million from CHF 1,800 million. Fully applied Basel III RWA decreased slightly to
CHF 67 billion as of 30 June 2013 from CHF 69 billion as of 31 March 2013, and were consistent with our target of less than CHF 70 billion. Funded assets decreased to CHF 179 billion as of
30 June 2013 from CHF 186 billion as of 31 March 2013, and were consistent with our target of less than CHF 200 billion. The cost / income ratio increased to 65.7% from 64.8%. On an adjusted basis, the cost / income ratio improved to 64.3% from 65.9%, slightly better than our target range of 65% to 85%.
Global Asset Management's profit before tax was CHF 138 million compared with
CHF 190 million in the prior quarter. Adjusted for a gain of CHF 34 million on the disposal of its Canadian domestic business in the first quarter and restructuring charges in both quarters, profit before tax was CHF 152 million compared with CHF 160 million, mainly due to higher operating expenses. Operating expenses were CHF 352 million compared with CHF 327 million in the first quarter. Operating income was CHF 489 million compared with CHF 517 million in the prior quarter. Excluding money market flows, net new money inflows from third parties were CHF 1.6 billion compared with CHF 4.2 billion in the prior quarter. The total gross margin was 33 basis points compared with 35 basis points in the first quarter. Excluding the gain on disposal of the Canadian domestic business in the first quarter, the gross margin remained unchanged as the effect of higher net management fees due to higher average invested assets was offset by lower performance fees. It remained within our target gross margin range of 32 to 38 basis points. The cost / income ratio was 72.0% compared with 63.2% in the first quarter. Adjusted for restructuring charges and the gain on disposal of the Canadian domestic business, the cost / income ratio was 69.1%, compared with 66.9% in the prior quarter, remaining within our target range of 60% to 70%.
Retail & Corporate's profit before tax was CHF 377 million compared with CHF 347 million in the prior quarter. Adjusted profit before tax increased to CHF 390 million from CHF 362 million, reflecting higher operating income and broadly stable operating expenses. Operating income was CHF 948 million compared with CHF 919 million in the prior quarter. Net new business volume growth was negative 2.7%, reflecting a small number of corporate outflows including an outflow related to the issuance of a banking license to Swiss PostFinance, compared with positive 4.7% in the previous quarter. The net interest margin increased 3 basis points to 157 basis points, reflecting 2% higher net interest income and a slightly higher average loan volume. The net interest margin was within the target range of 140 to 180 basis points. The cost / income ratio improved by
2.2 percentage points to 60.0%, mainly reflecting higher income. Adjusted for restructuring charges, the cost / income ratio improved to 58.7% from 60.6%, bringing it within our target range of 50% to 60%.
Corporate Center – Core Functions recorded a loss before tax of CHF 142 million compared with a loss before tax of CHF 719 million in the previous quarter. On an adjusted basis, the loss before tax was CHF 275 million compared with a loss before tax of CHF 398 million in the prior quarter. Treasury income remaining in Corporate Center – Core Functions after allocations to the business divisions was negative CHF 136 million compared with negative CHF 255 million in the prior quarter. Expenses remaining after allocations to the business divisions and Corporate Center – Non-core and Legacy Portfolio declined by CHF 113 million.
Corporate Center – Non-core and Legacy Portfolio recorded a loss before tax of
CHF 927 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared with a loss before tax of CHF 245 million in the previous quarter. On an adjusted basis, the result before tax was a loss of CHF 909 million compared with an adjusted loss before tax of CHF 84 million in the prior quarter. This was mainly due to higher charges for provisions for litigation, regulatory and similar matters, lower revenues in rates and credit portfolios within Non-core, a lower gain from the revaluation of our option to acquire the SNB StabFund's equity, and an impairment charge related to certain disputed receivables as well as a negative debit valuation adjustment on our derivatives portfolio. Balance sheet assets declined by CHF 82 billion. Fully applied BIS Basel III RWA decreased by CHF 17 billion to
CHF 78 billion.
Balance sheet: As of 30 June 2013, our balance sheet stood at CHF 1,129 billion, a decrease of CHF 85 billion from 31 March 2013. Funded assets, which represent total assets excluding positive replacement values and collateral delivered against over-the-counter derivatives, were reduced by CHF 32 billion to CHF 765 billion, mainly in the Corporate Center – Non-core and Legacy Portfolio and the Investment Bank, primarily due to a reduction in trading portfolio assets and reflecting the ongoing implementation of our strategy.
Capital management: Our phase-in BIS Basel III common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio was 16.2% as of 30 June 2013, an increase of 0.9 percentage points from 31 March 2013. Our phase-in BIS Basel III CET1 capital decreased by CHF 0.8 billion to CHF 39.4 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2013. Our phase-in Basel III RWA decreased by CHF 19.8 billion to CHF 242.6 billion. On a fully applied basis, our BIS Basel III CET1 ratio increased 1.1 percentage points to 11.2% and our fully applied RWA declined to CHF 239.2 billion. Consistent with what we have said previously, we expect to reach our 13% BIS Basel III fully applied CET1 ratio target in 2014.
Invested assets: Group invested assets stood at CHF 2,348 billion at the end of the second quarter, a decrease of CHF 25 billion on the prior quarter. Of these, invested assets in Wealth Management decreased by CHF 8 billion to CHF 862 billion as negative market performance of CHF 19 billion more than offset net new money inflows of CHF 10 billion and positive currency translation effects of CHF 1 billion. In Wealth Management Americas, invested assets decreased by CHF 2 billion to CHF 843 billion. In US dollar terms, invested assets increased by USD 1 billion to USD 892 billion, reflecting continued net new money inflows, mostly offset by negative market performance of USD 2 billion. Global Asset Management's invested assets decreased by
CHF 13 billion to CHF 586 billion due to negative currency translation effects of CHF 6 billion, negative market movements of CHF 5 billion and net new money outflows.
Outlook – At the end of the second quarter the market reaction to the eventual end of quantitative easing in the US served as a reminder that looser monetary policy across the globe has not resolved the underlying challenges related to structural fiscal and economic issues. For the first half of 2013, our revenue growth and business flows evidence the fact that we continued to manage our businesses effectively in challenging market conditions. However, for the third quarter of 2013, client confidence and activity levels could be impacted further by the continued absence of sustained and credible improvements to unresolved European sovereign debt and banking system issues and US fiscal issues, and by the mixed outlook for global growth. This would make improvements in prevailing market conditions unlikely and, together with the seasonal decline in activity levels traditionally associated with the summer holiday season, would consequently generate headwinds for revenue growth, net interest margins and net new money. Nevertheless, we remain confident that our wealth management businesses will continue to attract net new money, reflecting new and existing clients' steadfast trust in the firm, and that the actions we have taken will ensure the firm's long-term success and will deliver sustainable returns for our shareholders going forward.
¹ Unless otherwise indicated, "adjusted" figures exclude each of the following items, to the extent applicable, on a Group and business division level: own credit gain on financial liabilities designated at fair value for the Group of CHF 138 million in 2Q13 (CHF 181 million loss in 1Q13), net restructuring charges of CHF 140 million for the Group in 2Q13 (net charges of CHF 246 million in 1Q13), a gain of CHF 34 million on the disposal of Global Asset Management's Canadian domestic business in 1Q13, a gain on the sale of the remaining proprietary trading business in the Investment Bank of CHF 55 million and an associated foreign currency translation loss of CHF 24 million in Corporate Center – Core Functions in 1Q13, and a net loss of CHF 92 million for the Group incurred on the buyback of debt in a public tender offer in 1Q13.

LONDON (MarketWatch) — European stocks saw mixed price action as the European Central Bank and the Bank of England both left monetary policy unchanged Thursday, while investors also digested well-received debt auctions in Spain and Italy.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, -0.92% fell 0.3% to 287.44, after closing at its highest level since February 2011 on Wednesday.
What if HSBC's deal is blocked?
The China Insurance Regulatory Commission is expected to block HSBC's sale of its stake in Ping An Insurance over uncertainty about the deal's funding. What this would mean for HSBC's stake.
Despite Thursday's losses, Douglas Roberts, senior international economist at Standard Life Investments, said there were still lots of positive things for markets to focus on at the moment, particularly the reduction in tail risks that has accompanied the ECB's introduction of its Outright Monetary Transactions program last year.
"We're seeing increased efforts to reform the labor market in France, Italy and Spain and some of these measures are having an impact already," he said.
"But the trouble for Europe is that it never seems to be far away from a political crisis. I think the better macro background should be supportive, but there could be political humps on the way," he said.
Among notable movers in Europe, Nokia Corp. shares FI:NOK1V NOK, -1.59% surged 11% after the handset maker released preliminary fourth quarter results. It highlighted that its Devices & Services unit "exceeded expectations" as the Mobile Phones unit and Lumia smartphones performed better-than-expected. See: Nokia shares surge after upbeat fourth quarter
Shares of MAN SE MAN, -0.05% jumped 3.5% in Frankfurt trading. Late Wednesday, Volkswagen AG VOW3, -3.00% said it would seek a domination agreement with the German truck maker and offer to buy out the rest of the company's shareholders. Volkswagen holds 75.03% of the voting rights in MAN.
Shares of Volkswagen moved 1% higher.
More broadly, investors took heart from Chinese export data that surprised to the upside. December exports surged 14.1% from the final month of 2011, up from a 2.9% gain in November. Imports also recovered, up 6%. See: China's exports surge, boosting trade surplus
Asia markets were mostly higher. See: Asia stocks get a lift from China trade data
On the data front in the U.S., initial jobless claims rose by 4,000 to 371,000 last week, reaching the highest level in a month. See: Jobless claims in U.S. rise 4,000 to 371,000

European indexes, however, struggled for direction most of the session, as investors focused on the two central banks' latest monetary decisions.
The Bank of England made no changes to its asset-purchase program and left its key lending rate at a record low 0.5%, as had been widely anticipated.

Tuesday, 11/8/11
Last night Beate Stolte, co-abbess of Upaya Zen Center, was scheduled to come to Desert Mirror to practice with us and give a talk; but a sudden snowstorm prevented her coming. And there were 16 people in the zendo! So I shared Joe's latest letter from Tassajara, and then read from a talk by Zoketsu Norman Fischer, Joe's and my teacher.
The talk was about the benefits one derives from practicing with Zen forms, about which there are always legitimate questions. (Sometimes — particularly in moments of high resistance — it seems as though this tradition must have been established by people with obsessive-compulsive disorder!) The talk, while somewhat lengthy, really lays out the case for Zen forms, and how this practice benefits us and our world over time.
If you have time for only a taste right now, below is an excerpt from the talk. And in case you might want to read it in greater depth later, I'll post a link to the whole talk as well.
Love, Russ
About Zen forms (our ritualized, stylized, very specfic way of doing things), Norman says:
If our primary focus of awareness practice were just awareness on our cushions, then we might get the idea that awareness is an "inside" matter. In other words, something that had to do with meditation, with states of mind, or with our inner condition. But if we extend our awareness not only to what is going on inside of us, but also to how we are walking, how we are standing, how we are holding our hands, how we are eating our food, and how we are chanting or striking a bell … if we extend awareness into all those other places in our living, we begin to get the idea that meditation is not just something that happens on our cushions. It is not just an inside job.
Awareness should be extended into all the times and places of our living. Our life is a totality, and not just about what is going on inside of us. It is about our whole lives — where we meet one another, as well as where each one of us is separate.
The price of this, which is all the mistakes that we make, actually turns out to be worthwhile in itself; because every time that we make a mistake, we learn something about ourselves. It is a challenge, and we grow from those miscues. So that is the first reason why I would say that the Forms are important: so that we can develop and extend our awareness, [and learn from our mistakes and our reactions to our mistakes and others'].
Here's the link to the whole talk:

Ted Berg went to Binghamton and has notes on Wilmer Flores, Greg Peavey, Michael Jordan (seriously) and the Spiedie.
On Flores defensively:
"Flores played second base on Tuesday night. He looked OK there but didn't get a ton of chances. Flores says he feels most comfortable at third base, but everything I heard from people who have been watching him suggested he's been at least passable at second and first this year in his first season off shortstop."
On Greg Peavey:
…threw seven shutout innings to earn the win for the B-Mets. I don't know from Peavey, but his fastball sat around 93 on the stadium gun and he didn't seem to have much trouble throwing his breaking ball to both sides of the plate for strikes….. I wonder if he's the type of guy who could dial up his fastball a bit (and tally more strikeouts) and prove effective in a relief role down the road."
This gun has a history of being fast. Remember back in 2009 when it said Jenrry Mejia hit 102? Well it did.
Peavey is a four-pitch college guy who can certainly throw his breaking stuff for strikes, but has an 88-90 mph fastball. In 23 starts for AA Binghamton, he's allowed 154 hits in 130 innings with a 76/33 K/BB ratio. That's a 5.3 K/9 and a 2.3 BB/9 rate. He's certainly not a starter in the big leagues. I have trouble seeing him in a big league bullpen unless the 93 mph is more right that his usual 88-90 velocity.

From the Compressed Gas Association:
Heavy leather protective gloves, safety shoes, aprons, and eye protection must be worn to prevent possible contact with . . . the cold liquid or boil-off vapors which may result from spilled or splashed liquid.
Equipment and systems designed for the storage, transfer, and dispensing of cryogenic liquids . . . must be equipped with pressure relief devices to prevent excessive pressure buildup do to the vaporization of the cryogenic liquid as heat leaks into the system.
This topic seems to have skidded off course. The cryogenic properties of LN2 have no bearing on how some guy in germany lost his hands mishandling the stuff.
The last major incident I could find involving LN2 was a midnite explosion at Texas A&M where the tanks were old, decrepit, and had improperly installed stress relief valves.
It would appear to me that this guy had somehow put the LN2 under pressure or caused it to expand to a volume greater then his container could release the pressure. We can only guess as to what he was doing, but several reports I read indicated that he had taken the LN2 into the bathroom where the container "Blew up". I can only guess that the guy must have added a too warm liduid to the LN2 container to get that type of effect. Or maybe he attempted to flush the LN2 to dispose of it after he was finished using it and it became compressed in the pipe after passing the elbow shaped gas trap.

There won't be an official Alternative Tentacles SXSW showcase this year, but there will be some hefty AT presence in Austin for the music festival. First of all, old school AT bands the Dicks and Half Japanese (with the original lineup!) will be playing some shows. Slim Cessna's Auto Club will have a few appearances, too, and they will have copies of their new album Cipher (Virus 383) on CD for sale. (The album doesn't officially hit stores until March 25.)
Here is a roundup of all that's Alternative Tentacles at SXSW:
Half Japanese
Slim Cessna's Auto Club
We are incredibly saddened to hear the news that Mike Conley, the singer of M.I.A., passed away last Friday, February 29 in Chicago as a result of an accidental fall. Originally from Las Vegas, M.I.A. became one of the pillars of the emerging Orange County punk scene in the early 1980s. More recently, Mike has been known as the owner of the Avalon Bar in Costa Mesa, bringing live music by independent musicians and revitalizing business in the area.
There is a really nice tribute to Mike from the Daily Pilot, a Costa Mesa newspaper. You can send or post messages of support at M.I.A.'s MySpace page. Also, there is a Mike Conley Family Memorial Fund where you can make donations online or through the mail to help the Conley family.
Our heartfelt thoughts are with Mike's family, fellow members of M.I.A., and the punk community at large as we all mourn Mike's untimely passing.
Like a grizzly bear coming out of hibernation, Alternative Tentacles is saying "fuck it" to winter dormancy and releasing new records! In addition to the Triclops! record we announced earlier this week, we will be releasing a new, hotly anticipated album from our dear friends from Denver, CO, Slim Cessna's Auto Club. It's been four years since SCAC's last release Bloudy Tenent Truth and Peace (Virus 317), so you're probably chomping at the bits for more of their country gospel awesomeness.
Cipher (Virus 383) is scheduled for release on March 25, but you can catch Slim and company on the road in early March. There are a few songs from Cipher up on SCAC's MySpace page. Yes, the song titles make no sense but that's the point of Cipher--on the artwork for the CD and LP, all the song titles will be in code and you'll have to figure them out.
For more info on Slim Cessna's Auto Club, please visit the official SCAC website or their MySpace page.
If you're new to the wonderful and mysterious world of SCAC and the Denver music scene from whence they hail, you've come to the right place! We have a whole slew of music from Denver artists including Munly's solo release, Tarantella, and 16 Horsepower.
Slim Cessna's Auto Club
We at Alternative Tentacles are totally gloating over snagging Triclops! as a new addition to our roster.
Just who the hell is Triclops! (yes, the exclamation point is a part of their name!)? They're one of the best bands to come out of the Bay Area in the past few years, featuring Christian from Bottles and Skulls on guitar, John Geek from Fleshies on vocals, Larry from Victims Family on bass, and Phil from Lower Forty-Eight on drums. We are soooo glad Jello chased them down and signed them to Alternative Tentacles, and are excited to work with them. AT will be releasing Triclops!'s first full-length Out of Africa (Virus 380) on CD and LP on March 25. (Of course, figuratively speaking, there is no birth without some kind of pain and we must note with sadness that Gold Standard Laboratories, who was set to release Triclops!'s debut album, recently announced they will no longer release new records but will continue to keep their existing releases in print.)
We just posted on the AT MySpace two songs--"March of the Half-Babies" and "Freedom Tickler"--from the upcoming Triclops! album (MySpace is taking forever to "process" one of the songs so there's only one song up at this second...). Please check them out and let us know what you think! In our mailorder, we carry the Triclops! Cafeteria Brutalia EP on Sick Room Records, so check that out too.
For more info on Triclops!, please visit their website http://triclopsband.com or their MySpace page.
Just a quick reminder about The Eat reunion show happening in Miami this Saturday, February 2. This is the first time they're performing in 12 years. The Eat anthology It's Not the Eat, It's the Humidity (Virus 377) 2xCD/2xLP here on our website or at your local record store. (Their "Communist Radio" 7" showed up on eBay recently for a starting bid above $1000. Yikes!)
Who: The Eat
If you go to the show, please hit us up with a recap and/or photos and we'll post 'em here!
Akimbo have spoken and we have two winners for the Navigating the Bronze contest. Thanks for all your entries, everyone! A special shoutout goes out to the most supportive band parents of the year, Mr. and Mrs. Weisnewski, for participating with their entries!!
"When I was younger we all had infatuations with
genitalia on bronze statues in our city. Those who
stared too long at them were labeled "bronzies". To
me, navigating the bronze means....spending the night
pursuing useless sexual pursuits."
"this phrase has no meaning, but has a purpose"
Here are a few honorable mentions that we (Akimbo and AT staff) loved:
"I think 'Navigating the Bronze' should be the name of a tasty eggnog cocktail. The recipe could look like this:
2 oz light rum
"Navigating the bronze- Steering to be mediocre: doing just enough: no ambition or drive to be the best.
Our president is navigating the bronze so the public doesn't think he's totally worthless."
"navigating the bronze (phrase) - Making it through to the your next pay check without any money. One does this by eating things that are found in the back of the refrigerator for meals (old hot dogs, cold and forgotten leftovers, etc.) and also bumming food and/or car rides from your neighbors and friends.
(usage) - shit man, I spent all of my cash on beer last night and I don't get paid until Friday... looks like I'm gonna have to navigate the bronze for a few days."
"navigating - to find or give directions
therefore, navigate the bronze must mean to 'give anyone who is pissed off or has given up some kind of reason for being.'"
"Making your way through a sea of tan people.
We saw an albino navigating the bronze."
"The Bronze Age of Comic Books is an informal name for a period in the history of mainstream American comic books usually said to run from the early 1970s to the mid 1980s. It followed the Silver Age of Comic Books.
The Bronze Age retained many conventions of the Silver Age, with brightly colored superhero titles remaining the mainstay of the industry. However darker plot elements and more mature storylines called "Navigating the Bronze" featuring Real world issues, such as drug use, prostitution, and punk rock began to appear during this period, prefiguring the later Modern Age of Comic Books.
Example: Spiderman was navigating the Bronze hardcore in that last issue, smoking grass and going to a concert with his spidey senses altered."
"1. The aimless wandering through the fatuous blogosphere, jumping from link to link, reading post after post and taking in none of the meaning or content as time slips away with amazing speed as you ruminate on how banal most people truly are.
2. I'm so out of it I spent the last three hours just sitting at my
computer navigating the bronze."
"In my mind, navigating the bronze is all about living in the the DIY world of punk and underground music. As sad as it is to say, legitimate alternative music won't ever reach the top 10 on Billboard, but then again who the fuck cares. I see the really successful bands as being the gold medalists, because they get to be on top and sell everything. Then the guys that still get their videos played all the time, but don't quite reach the forefront of music, they get silver. Then there are the bands that not enough people know about, that bust ass year round and make great music that so many will never hear, I'm afraid they get the bronze. The title has to do with navigating our lot in life, through all the run down bars and all-ages venues, through the troubles gone through to put out records, and the struggle to keep going when you gotta struggle to play the bills and buy that new guitar because some asshole at a squat stole your last one. All of that is what navigating the bronze means to me."
In Jack's words:
It was my goal from the beginning was to avoid having a scripted narrator (a good tool but the easy way out). After hours of editing and reediting I think it worked. This documentary features interviews with past and present volunteers that represent most all of the positions required to keep 924 Gilman St. running. (Booking, Security, Stage Managing, Coordinating, Storekeeping, Meeting Secretary etc...). These are the folks that make everything else possible. Let's hear it for the volunteers!"
It'll be in stores in late spring/early summer. Stay tuned for updates!

"Dude, I totally navigated the bronze last night!"
What does that sentence mean to you? This elusive phrase has not been explicitly defined by Akimbo, the band who created this mysterious album title. Many theories have been informally offered, none to our satisfaction. However, we want to make "Navigating the Bronze" as ubiquitous as "Ghostriding the Whip" or "Oh no you dih-ent!" in the youth lexicon.
We leave it up to you, the creative AT fan, to fill in semiotic gap left wide by our well-coiffed Seattle trio. Stretch those vocab muscles and enter to win a signed vinyl copies of said album Navigating the Bronze. We have two LPs, both signed and embellished by all three members of Akimbo.
1. Define the phrase "Navigating the Bronze"
4. Akimbo will judge the entries. Two winners will receive signed Navigating the Bronze LPs, and we will publish the winners and honorable mentions on the Alternative Tentacles site.
Rest assured, we won't use the e-mail/postal address provided other than to notify winners and mail them their prizes.
Some Thanksgiving-related reading for you...

NCI-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center
Moments in Time A History of Fox Chase Cancer Center
Your Health Care Team
Our unique staff of health-care professionals focus solely on oncology.
Read more »
Not many institutions receive the National Cancer Institute's highest designation.
Fox Chase Cancer Center is a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, one of only 41 centers in the country to qualify for this highest level of designation. As a result, Fox Chase physicians and researchers are frequently involved in setting new guidelines for breakthrough medicine and comprehensive care.
NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center
The National Cancer Institute (NCI), established under the National Cancer Institute Act of 1937, is the Federal Government's principal agency for cancer research and training. Fox Chase Cancer Center is an NCI-designated Cancer Comprehensive Center, the highest level of designation given by the NCI and one of only 41 centers in the country to qualify.
What's the Difference Between an NCI Cancer Center and an NCI Comprehensive Cancer Center?
An NCI-designated cancer center means that a center has met NCI standards for cancer prevention, clinical services, or research. A Comprehensive Cancer Center meets NCI standards in all three categories.
This NCI designation supports research, training, health information dissemination and other programs with respect to the cause, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cancer, rehabilitation from cancer, and the continuing care of cancer patients and the families of cancer patients. Fox Chase's five CORE research programs range from understanding the fundamental mechanisms of biomolecular reactions in our Cancer Biology and Blood Cell Development and Function programs, therapy development in our Molecular Therapeutics program to disease management in our Cancer Prevention and Control program. These programs are made possible by our world-renowned researchers and the support of the NCI and donors. Learn more at cancer.gov
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network
Fox Chase Cancer Center is a member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN), a not-for-profit alliance of 23 of the world's leading cancer centers dedicated to improving the quality and effectiveness of care provided to patients with cancer. More than 160,000 new patients receive cancer care at NCCN Member Institutions over the course of any year.

As a member of the NCCN, Fox Chase offers its patients superior treatments, the latest technologies and broader access to clinical trials through our multidisciplinary team of physicians, health care professionals and researchers.

A Watertown man faces 3˝ years in state prison after admitting Friday in Jefferson County Court that he possessed heroin with the intent to sell the drug in February.
Tommy L. Clark Jr., 32, pleaded guilty to third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, admitting he had the drug within the county Feb. 7.
In addition to the prison term, he is expected to be ordered to undergo two additional years of supervision upon his release at sentencing Nov. 26. Mr. Clark was sentenced in County Court in June 2011 to three years in prison for a third-degree attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance conviction, having admitted he tried to sell cocaine in Watertown.
In other court activity:
Adam J. Shields, 29, of 217 E. Main St., Brownville, pleaded guilty to third-degree assault. He admitted that on March 21 in Brownville he caused multiple eye socket fractures to Robert G. Rapholz by punching him. He is expected to be sentenced Dec. 18 to no more than three years probation and be ordered to pay $15,794 in restitution.
Phillip A. Mono, 35, whose last known address was 309 Moulton St., was sentenced to an unspecified amount of time served at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building and five years probation after a Sept. 23 guilty plea to third-degree attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance. He admitted that he tried to sell heroin May 15 within the county.
Mark S. Zando, 52, Watertown, was sentenced to three years probation after an Aug. 28 guilty plea to petit larceny. He admitted that in March 2012 in Watertown he took a credit card from Deborah A. Renda without her permission.
Richard R. Woodard, 31, Calcium, was arraigned on two counts each of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. The charges were contained in a grand jury indictment unsealed in court. It is alleged that he had and sold heroin within the county in mid-August and again in late August. He pleaded not guilty to the charges and was sent to the PSB on $75,000 bail.
Mr. Woodard is still facing an indictment handed up in early August containing four counts of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and five counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
In that matter, it is alleged that he had and sold heroin on four dates within the county in mid- to late July and that he possessed the drug with the intent to sell it in late July in the town of Brownville.
