Bailout Propaganda Begins
Nearly a year after the federal rescue of the nation's biggest banks, taxpayers have begun seeing profits from the hundreds of billions of dollars in aid that many critics thought might never be seen again.
via As Biggest Banks Repay Bailout Money, the U.S. Sees a Profit – NYTimes.com.
It was inevitable that the same people who pushed through the multi-trillion-dollar bailout of Wall Street would come out later on and tell us what a great idea theirs turned out to be, in retrospect and under the light of evidentiary examination. And we're getting that now, with a pair of reports, the above one in the New York Times and another in the Financial Times, telling us the bailout is working because the government has made some money on TARP. They came to this conclusion by quoting Fed officials, who apparently calculated how much interest the Fed earned on TARP investments above what it would have earned on T-bills. The amount so far, according to these worthy gentlemen: $14 billion.
This is sort of like calculating the returns on a mutual fund by only counting the stocks in the fund that have gone up. Forgetting for a moment that TARP is only slightly relevant in the entire bailout scheme — more on that in a moment — the TARP calculations are a joke, apparently leaving out huge future losses from AIG and Citigroup and others in the red. Since only a small portion of the debt has been put down by the best borrowers, and since the borrowers in the worst shape haven't retired their obligations yet, it's crazy to make any conclusions about TARP, pure sophistry. Moreover, a think tank set up to analyze TARP, Ethisphere, calculated in June that TARP was still $148 billion down overall, a debt of over $1200 per American. To start talking about what a success TARP is now is beyond meaningless.
The other reason for that is that it's only a tiny sliver of the whole bailout picture. The real burden carried by the government and the Fed comes from the various anonymous bailout facilities — the TALF, the PPIP, the Maiden Lanes, and so on. The losses from the Fed's purchase of distressed/crap Bear Stearns assets (Maiden Lane I) and AIG assets (MaidenLanes II and III) alone were as recently as late July calculated in the $8.6 billion range, and even that number is very conservative. Then there's the trillion or so dollars that the Fed used on buying up mortgage-backed securities and Treasuries; we don't know what their market value is now. And there are untold trillions more the Fed has loaned out in the last 18 months and which we are not likely to find out much about, unless the recent court ruling green-lighting Bloomberg's FOIA request for those records actually goes through.
In light of all this, the Fed's decision to brag publicly about a few loans that are actually performing is sort of scary — it speaks to a level of intellectual desperation and magical-thinking unusual even for a banker in the subprime/MBS era. Don't be surprised if you hear more of this sort of thing in the coming years.

Identification stops us from seeing. Once we Identify our brain is satisfied and our eyes, through our thoughts, leave the person or thing just identified. "What's that motion in the tree? It's a bird. It's a Cardinal, a Red Tail Hawk, my cat Muffy." Our minds are satisfied. We arise from bed in the morning, walk into the kitchen and see our beloved. Yes that's her, that's him. Our mind is satisfied for we have identified from memory. We have assumed the face. We really haven't seen the fresh face before us. The more I see, the more I see. The same can be said of all our senses. The more we hear, the more we hear, for example. Going beyond identification is no easy process. But once we start trying to see, well, the more we see, the more we see. I use quote marks around this phrase in the title because my deceased mentor, Hazel Archer, said it. So simple as to sound inane. While I play with my photographs in here, the more I see. Come play here with me.
Born in 1944 in Bluefield West Virginia, I have two years on the baby boomers. Johnson High School, in Japan, is my alma mater. I have been in every state in the USA and in my middle adulthood I traveled to a great many parts of the world. I spent about 31 years practicing law in Denver, Colorado and I now find myself transported to my early childhood backyard. I love photography and the study of outer space and inner space. I am a product of the 1960's.

Do you still have any moo moo milk? If you do I suggest drinking it all and hoping it has the same effect as last time. Also stuff the claw in your backpack you never know when it might come in handy. Then move further up the light house. But try to be quiet and not attract any attention.

A court found the family's conduct was disrupting the care of the paralyzed UW scientist. Now, relatives say they and friends can't tend to the man they love.
Valentin Medvedev speaks with his eyes: open for yes, closed for no.
Until 15 months ago, he was a research scientist at the University of Washington Department of Chemical Engineering. Then in February 2006, he had a stroke that paralyzed almost his entire body but seems to have left his mind mostly intact.
He gets few visitors, despite a devoted circle of family and friends. That's because a court found that his family was so disruptive, it caused him harm. Visits from family and friends must include a supervisor, whom they must pay. Even then, the family members can have no say about his care.

"He is completely alone," said his wife, Maria.
Meanwhile, his unpaid bills are approaching $300,000. A court fight over who should care for him — and how — continues.
Calling the case extraordinary during a hearing this week, King County Court Commissioner Carlos Velategui placed blame squarely on the family.
Meanwhile, as the battle rages around him, Medvedev can do little but wait.
Medvedev's stroke was unusual: It occurred in the brain stem, which controls voluntary movement. Other than his eyes and some slight control of his head and right hand, the 69-year-old Medvedev (pronounced med-VED-ev) is immobile. Doctors call it "incomplete locked-in syndrome."
For months, someone visited him just about every day, bringing movies, shaving him, taking him on wheelchair strolls. The Medvedevs and their two children, Anna and Andrei, had arrived in the United States in 1996 from Ukraine, where Medvedev had a distinguished career, court documents state.
Since the stroke, he has spent time in Virginia Mason Medical Center and three other local hospitals, undergoing treatments related to his stroke, colon cancer and other problems. Now he is in a nursing home.
Everyone involved in the case agrees: Medvedev wants very much to live. With that in mind, family members have learned everything they could about his medical condition.
Anna, 34, and Andrei, 28, weren't shy about pushing for what they felt their father needed, regardless of whether doctors agreed. When their requests were denied, they pressed harder, sometimes phoning repeatedly, other times arguing with staff members in hospital hallways, court records state. Several times, staff members called security.
The way the family saw it, the staff was rude and dismissed legitimate concerns. The attitude, Andrei wrote in court papers, was "those damn foreigners — they think they are so smart."
They fought for their father, Anna said, because "he couldn't do it himself."
In any case, they were warned repeatedly, but their behavior continued.
Finally, Virginia Mason Medical Center had enough. In August, the hospital filed an anti-harassment petition, saying Anna and Andrei were abusive and threatening toward the staff and disrupted hospital operations.
The family denied acting inappropriately. Nonetheless, Velategui barred Anna and Andrei from the hospital temporarily, later describing their tactics as "guerilla warfare." (Two other hospitals that had treated him told one or more family members they couldn't return for a year.)
Two weeks later, a judge lifted the order but required the family to abide by certain rules.
Hospital dispute
Virginia Mason, however, still had a problem.
Last summer, the hospital was pushing to perform several routine medical procedures that the family opposed. In addition, Medvedev's insurance company declined to pay for continued hospitalization, saying it wasn't medically necessary. But the family wouldn't consent when the hospital wanted to discharge him. Hospital fees were mounting.
Family members maintained they had good reason for their opposition. For example, they said Medvedev had unexplained bleeding, and they didn't want him to leave until it was diagnosed.
"My heart was crying," Anna said. "I'm not a mother yet, but I felt like he was somebody I had to take care of. I really felt like I wanted to protect him and save him and I couldn't."
As it turned out, Medvedev had colon cancer; surgery to remove it was successful.
The family thinks Medicare, Medicaid or health insurance should cover the bills.
Intent on transferring Medvedev out, Virginia Mason petitioned the court last September to assign him a guardian, who could authorize the move. (Later, the University of Washington Medical Center took over as petitioner, when Medvedev was moved there.)
Guardians are appointed to care for people deemed incapacitated. They might manage the person's finances, arrange for medical care, or get the person help around the house. A guardian can be either a paid professional or a volunteer, such as a friend or a relative.
It's rare for hospitals to ask the court to appoint a guardian for a patient, court records show. When they do, it's mostly when the family can't step in. That wasn't the case here. Medvedev's wife, Maria, said she has been a caregiver to elderly and disabled people for nearly a decade.
Family members didn't want Medvedev to have a professional guardian, but they didn't hire a lawyer. Instead, they fought the hospital on their own with voluminous court pleadings — losing virtually every ruling. Then they appealed, losing again and again.
In December, the court ruled Medvedev needed a guardian — a professional one — to manage his money and his life.
Unpaid bills
The family wasn't exactly cooperative, according to the guardian, Partners in Care. For example, the guardian said family members continued to try to direct his medical care by arranging for one procedure and interrupting another, without the guardian's consent. And, the guardian said, they didn't provide Medvedev's financial information, making it impossible for bills to get paid.
Between December and March, bills included about $76,000 in lawyer fees and $23,000 in guardian fees — a figure Lynne Fulp, who runs Partners in Care, calls "staggeringly" high. Medvedev owes $154,000 to hospitals.
Partners in Care decided there was only one way to get control of the situation.
In February, the guardian asked the court to prevent Medvedev's family from "engaging in abuse and unlawful harassment" of him. Already, family members had caused him harm, the guardian said. For example, Anna removed the tape from a feeding tube, "which created a risk of aspiration," legal papers state.
Family members also tried to keep the guardian away from him and arrange a discharge from the hospital. In addition, the family's reputation led numerous care facilities to reject him as a resident, Fulp said. Other facilities said they'd accept him only if there was a protection order in place, she said.
"No one will touch him," Fulp said.
Family members, on the other hand, argued in court filings that their actions were mischaracterized.
The guardian won. By court order, family members can visit only with Partners in Care's consent. They can't discuss health care with doctors or nurses, or even Medvedev himself. Nor can they mention the court battle. To make sure they follow the rules, Anna and Andrei are prohibited from speaking with him in Russian, their native language.
For more than a month, Partners in Care did not authorize a visit. Some of that time, Medvedev was in an "undisclosed location for ongoing health care needs and protection," court files state.
Friends were barred from visiting, because of their ties to the family.
When visits were finally allowed, family members had to hire someone to supervise them. That costs up to $300 each time.
When a reporter asked to visit, Fulp said The Seattle Times would have to pay a supervisor, as well. The newspaper has a policy against paying for interviews.
"It is not the guardian who has created this situation," a Partners in Care attorney wrote in a letter to Medvedev's friends: It was his own family.
"I cannot sleep"
Life for the family has been hard.
"I not know about his condition," Maria said, struggling with her English. "I cannot sleep."
Fulp, as well, is exhausted by problems she believes the family created.
"Our only effort is to make it so Dr. Medvedev can get the care he needs," Fulp said. "We have wrung ourselves out."
As for Medvedev himself, Fulp wrote, "all is finally looking good for him after many, many months of struggle."
But family members said he's lonely, and they can't afford to pay for regular visits. As it is, they fear bankruptcy.
At a hearing Thursday, the court ruled the guardian can use Medvedev's CDs and retirement money and borrow against his home to pay bills. But that won't pay for family visits.
Maria wants to become his guardian and bring him home. Velategui said he has trouble seeing how that would ever be possible, given the complexity of the situation.
Maria is undeterred.
"I don't know how many days or years is left for him," she said. "But I want to be each day with him."

Measuring the Real Size of the World Economy : The Framework, Methodology, and Results of the International Comparison Program (ICP)

The International Comparison Program (ICP) is a global statistical initiative to collect comparative price data to estimate Purchasing Power Parities (PPPs) of the currencies of the world's economies. PPPs are a form of exchange rate between currencies that is based on price comparisons for every country with more than 1,000 goods and services. The ICP has become not only the largest international statistical program in the world, but also the most complex. The first coordinated attempt to produce purchasing power parities was carried out from 1967 to 1970 and was based on 10 countries. In the years leading up to 2005, six rounds of the ICP were conducted, each with more countries and improved methodology, with the 2005 ICP including 146 countries. The lessons learned from previous ICP rounds led to the development of several significantly new and improved methods for the 2005 ICP. The subsequent analysis of the 2005 data set the stage for additional improvements to the 2011 ICP.This volume provides a comprehensive review of the statistical theory and methods underlying the estimation of PPPs and real expenditures, the choices made for the 2005 ICP round, and the lessons learned that led to improvements in the 2011 ICP. Disclosing the theory, concepts, and methods underlying estimates enhances the transparency of the 2011 ICP process. This allows interested stakeholders and users to fully understand the strengths, limitations, and assumptions underlying the estimates. This volume also contains several chapters about uses of the data from the 2005 ICP. These uses are significant because they expand the boundaries of the needs served by the ICP to encompass poverty estimation and analysis of the global economic situation.Worldwide, no other statistical program requires so much cooperation among national, regional, and international organizations. The ICP greatly depends on the overwhelming support received from national statistical offices. They assume the effort of and responsibility for providing the prices and other measures underlying all components of the gross domestic product and breaking it down into sub-aggregates.

"City Hall" City Hall and Brisbane Museum Tip by Atre
City Hall and Brisbane Museum, Brisbane: 30 reviews and 79 photos
City Hall is an old building with a high steeple. The front of the building says museam, but do not think this is an ordinary museam with artifacts and things, it is really a very boring arts museam, the real museam is over the bridge. You can pay to go up to the bell tower, where you get a very good view of the city, though the day I was in Brisbane it was free for some reason. You ride an elevator like the ones you see in the movies, those old ones with a bored looking bellhop and a sliding cage sort of door. The ride is really quite fun and when you get to the top you can walk around and look out over the city through glass windows. Giant bells above you peal out the time every so often (half hour maybe?). A good place to go for a nice view of the city, even if it is of mostly sky scrapers.

First and foremost, the cameras should be running on these paratransit vans at all times just like MPTS. Transit Plus should have them running for their own liability purposes and for the safety of the paratransit riders. Drivers, drive time, pick up and drop off, could all be monitored and the problems corrected.
These issues need to be addressed before any contract is renewed or changed. Any audit should include feedback from those who use this paratransit service on a daily basis.

Where did that good bag of penny dreadful stocks I bought go?
FAS, what a week, next week should go again,
from .007 to 4.6 intra high today
Big Week coming up for BGS, ESI/ESIO not long now
yeah, except you bought in at 0.78 and got caught in the hype.
Hope the talk on ESI comes through. Took the plunge.
Eds, is there a probblem with this webpage? I haven't been able to post since Tuesday and sometimes get only 1 comment showing
EDs: As far as I am aware, the problem has only existed today. Our tech support is on the case.
Where are the ESI posts, how long will the negotiations with ALDP take, $30-$40M for a $16M market cap, no brainer
Jim? Ah yes, Jim's Mowing...whoops, I mean Computing!
Nice pop on QAN today with no news. Holding a truckload of Dec 150 calls.
Stay away from Nana Plaza tonight you lucky so and so...:)
except it was 30% higher only 3 months ago.
Be interested in thoughts on stocks that are trading CD and are to go XD within the next few days. Would you sell now or wait for the dividend.
If you have a decent profit I would be inclined to take that profit and forgo the dividend and franking credits. You have to wait until you get your tax refund after July next year to get any use of the franking credits. I'm only interested in shares that pay fully-franked dividends from March onwards and before 30th June for that reason.Take the cash that you get from the sale and buy shares in another company that will be announcing its results soon, or even the same one when the price falls due to the ex-dividend effect. If the company has a history of offering share-purchase plans at a good discount retain the minimum holding of shares so that you qualify. Investment companies do that because they are always looking to raise more capital to increase their FUM. Just keep the capital gains tax bill in mind.
I read a paper a few years back (and my anecdotal evidence supports it) that stocks rarely drop by div + franking, ignoring beta (market moevments). This is due to a number of factors including foreign investors don't get franking, derivs don't (usually) include franking and discount cap gains tax < income tax.
The latter is important as the less tax you pay the greater the benefit to sell after ex date.
Of course, the later you wait, the more likely the market will move
They vary a lot in terms of price movement. I've had stocks that were above my buy price or the last Cum-div date price just two days after Ex-div date. Others slid quite a lot below the last Cum-div price and remained for some time.
Has anyone used Comseciress which is the advanced platform for Comsec? Any feedback would be appreciated.
WebIress (which they use re-branded) is a great trading platform *shakes head as memories of using the Sanford and Etrade websites come to mind*
I've been using it for a couple of years. Great live feed and fast order placement. I recommend it if you're an active trader
Yes. IRESS I use because I trade a lot and get it free through CommSec. Generally quite a good product. Pros: 1. a single list contains lots of stocks 60+. So, unlike some providers where the list is limited to 30 and you have to create a new list. Quite fumbly if you monitor lots of stocks.2. comphrensive facilities, i.e. real time graphs (limited in some respects), dividend info, company info, many columns with vast info such as trend bars (showing trade intensity either red or green with movements up or down), trade status, real-time bid, ask, bids/asks totals, etc. Cons: 1. Can be user unfriendly when you 1st start, but if you stick at you find where everything is and how to operate it. 2.has a tendency to crash, and you have to reopen. Some days ok, others several times a day. Whether this is a fault of IRESS or my java/antiVirus setup is yet to be determined. 3. Costly at $82 if you don't trade enough. I can go on, but if you want to know something about it, post it here whenever for an answer.
What's the deal with NCM? (Up over 5%) Short covering, insto ramping, getting ready for the crash or genuine buying? Anyone?
um maybe Gold has entered a bull market. 1400 next week
Gold is and has been very bullish, just punters joining the party!
A question for everyone:
I have shares in a few of the big banks, and I think their prospects in the short to medium term are all pretty similar.
However, I think that ANZ's aggressive push to expand its presence in Asia will eventually give it much more potential for growth. Do you fellow readers agree?
I would be inclined to do your research carefully on this.
The banks don't have a stunning track record with overseas expansion (think of NAB's misadventures in the UK and Ireland).
With a P/E of 12.6 grossed up div of 7.5% you would think that ANZ would be plowing up the charts. Recent earnings disappointed the analyst and its price dropped 80 cents. They have established thmselves in China doing currencies. My experience is that ANZ has potential but is like the tortoise in the pack, so don'have high expectations.
Absolutely agree.
I'm expecting NAB to outperform the others going into year end. In the process of being re-rated IMO. Chart is bullish from a technical perspective.
Have looking at Abbott's policies and how they will affect shares. Two areas apart from boats, are telecoms and health. Malcolm wants to (as I understood) engage Telstra to roll out fibre and maintain the ever faithful copper. Re health; the Libs have a strong record on handouts to the medical fraternity. I forget who the minister was, but one of them seem to let the specialist write their own cheques. Public health course was squeezed. Has anyone else got post election suggestions?
If Abbott gets elected be overweight on debt collection companies and pay-day lenders. Those companies thrive in recessions.
The economy will improve ten-fold. Plus the rest.
I like the market today...the good times are back, baby...yes, we're back. I can't wait to see the Liberals in power, joy and bliss, high profits, no tax, that's how it should be, for us only! the rest of the working caste should increase productivity, have their survival income called...wages cut, cut all rights, dismissable on the spot. Furthermore, those Industrial relations should immediately implemented...Yes, baby, we're back and I'm going on my yacht to celebrate...better clean my nose, I'll need it for...
Hang on, if wages and conditions are cut as you are advocating, there will be nothing driving growth in business activity and profits. Consumers will only be able to buy the very basics if that. Tax collections from employees will fall so business taxes will have to be increased. Shortsighted policies that hit the workers have a nasty way of rebounding. But if that's what you want then you can go broke along with the rest of us.
mitch - because 4% growth yoyo is the only way the world will get ahead? Growth economically relies on population growth and guess where that is headed? We should just BALANCE out all cost and wages and put an entire freeze on the whole 'growth' model. It relies on leveraging up in the hope something is worth more later...
In the spirit of posting your trades, bought MYG at 0.035 on Monday this week. A bumpy ride this week. Good trading to be had in the gold stocks but any long term views on gold? For me, it seems too volatile to be holding for too long.
Agree in and out best strategy at the moment. Medium to long term, clear skies for me
GA ...your EHL is 20% down...
Actually I bought it for $0.245 and sold it for $0.295 10 days later. I then bought some more at $0.24. So I'm down on that trade at the moment. But look how many great trades I've posted here in the last three months alone? Also, have a look at how man miserable life long losers I've upset every day on here? Life is great man.
Here you go. Because I actually post trades:
Bought EHL for $0.245 on 5 July
Sold 11 days later for over 18% profit
Keep trying to cherry pick trades because of how angry and miserable you are and going quiet about the profitable trades. Remember how you had to retire previous names you posted under because nobody likes you?
EHL will come back up, down 20% in this case isn't a concern. It has large swings every month of this kind of degree - which is where the gains are to be made!
... So you still hold on to it.. You might get it right in the end.. Good luck!
ED, could we have the iron ore price please? Was not in need2know this morning
EDs: $US137.70 per tonne.
Whats happening in MMS world? Why did it go down yesterday? Whats the future like pre & post election.?
Why did it go down yesterday ?, just fear and the inability of traders to actually do their own homework, like poor students, or international students, they copy or plaigiarise - in this case the US.
ED, why the big drop with BEN? Thanks.
EDs: Bendigo Bank is going ex-dividend today.
Market up!!! :(
All my puts are falling :(
Haven't you noticed the DOW been down in the last few days? I tend not to go short when the down been falling for a few days straight.. Last night the DOW recovered so stocks followed the DOW, I guess.. Only new to this game..
So across the ASX companies have cut costs left right and centre to cover the lack of growth in sales, my question is why did this much fat exist in the first place?
Good times breed bad habits.
That's why the strength of capitalism is the bust, not the boom.
It sheds the dead wood so when things turn the strong have room to prosper. That's why the bank bailouts were such a terrible idea.
It's amazing what people find the ability to do when their survival depends on it.
My opinion is that for too long Australian businesses have had it too good and have never had to cut costs in order to survive.
i.e. Complacency
It exists so next year the 'conomy looks good again and Australia has growth and escapes financial crises, etc. That's my conspiracy theory for the day anyway.
Perhaps that "fat" wasn't "fat" when sales volume was there but was needed to support the sales infrastructure. E.g. if sales volume drops you may not need to continue to rent that extra warehouse space.
Demand problem, not supply problem, sure they may have been some 'fat', though when everyone clutches their wallets at the same time, something has to give...
They just off-shored more jobs. The execs earn more now and the workers fired here are left with misery.
Breaking news: Nasdaq to introduce mid session break as per Nikkei.
mai pang...aroi! 5555
ED: No need2know this morning?
ED: Yeah, up and running: http://www.smh.com.au/business/markets/stocks-set-to-rebound-20130823-2sf8g.html
Bounce this morning which will get hit by the 11am market shift and finish negative after profit taking and position closing Friday.
I hate Fridays, regardless of what the US and European markets do on a Thursday night, we always get hit by the Friday sell-off's,
Looking good xnova
Wait...the Dow is near all time highs and yet Gold and Silver are running hard. QE4 anyone? Do yourselves a favour and load up on KCN. Punters only just realising it is a silver cash cow (Bowdens)
Uh oh... market up!
QE will not be tapered back for a while yet. USofA is not even close to a recovery.
I am also of the opinion that this current trading range is now nothing BUT executions. The more trades that go through daily, the more commission for the big boy's in town. Even if the market sits in this narrow band - we can expect news one day to push it down and the next to push it up. All to get the qty of orders up. Expecting a rewind of all world markets.
Equity trades are a v low profit area. Even for brokers.
The big money is in derivatives, exotics etc
Equity trades are 5% of ASX's revenue

ITIF Recommends Policies to Promote Innovation, Productivity, and Competitiveness Before House Democratic Caucus
WASHINGTON—U.S. workers and enterprises are falling behind in the global innovation, productivity, and competitiveness race, and Congress should enact a series of policies to reverse the trends, argued Stephen Ezell, vice president for global innovation policy at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation. Ezell's comments today came at a panel convened by House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer to explore ways to spur creation of high-wage, private-sector jobs.
"If we want the U.S. economy to truly flourish again, then we need to focus on policies that bolster the three fundamental drivers of our economic well-being: innovation, productivity, and competitiveness," said Ezell. "Those are the keys to job creation, wage growth, and overall quality of life in the 21st century. America once was the undisputed leader on each account, but recently we have faltered across the board."
Ezell recommended four policy areas that Congress should focus on to jumpstart U.S. growth:
- Reauthorize the U.S. Export-Import Bank to support U. S. exporters and U.S. jobs as they face more global export credit competition.
- Invest in manufacturing innovation and education, including establishing manufacturing universities and expanding the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation, to better equip our workforce and restore American leadership in advanced manufacturing products and processes.
- Spur technology transfer and commercialization, including dedicating federal research funding to technology commercialization and establishing an office to coordinate federal technology transfer efforts, to turn U.S. research into new U.S. companies and jobs.
- Unlock the economic potential of the Internet of Things (IoT), including developing a strategy for deploying IoT technologies throughout the economy, enabling the government to become an early adopter of IoT through public-private partnerships, and making government data publicly available, to leverage this important platform and its potential economic impact.
"Restoring America's world-leading position in innovation, productivity growth, and competitiveness is an attainable goal, but only if we implement smart public policies," said Ezell. "With our recommendations, Congress can unlock the innovative power and productivity growth potential of the public and private sectors alike."

Global financial crisis: Five years, almost to the day, after Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, a majority of the 10 BSE Sensex stocks that were hit the worst in the aftermath of the financial crisis in the US have bounced back sharply and are now trading at significant premiums with Sesa Goa and Jindal Steel shares top movers and shakers.
On September 15, 2008, as the news of Lehman fall came, the BSE Sensex fell by 3.4 per cent and the same day the Dow Jones Industrial Average in the US fell by 4.4 per cent.
As the fallout of the crisis panned out over the two days on September 15 and 16, 2008, when the enormity of the crisis slowly dawned on the Indian bourses, at least 10 Sensex companies fell by 5 per cent or more.
Metals and mining majors Sesa Goa and Jindal Steel that fell by 12.4 and 11.1 per cent, respectively, topped the list.
ICICI Bank, which had its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) listed in the US, saw its shares fall 9.5 per cent, while TCS and Tata Steel, which depend on the developed economies for much of their revenues, too fell sharply by 7.2 and 6.9 per cent, respectively.
However, over the last five years, much of that has reversed and the Sensex itself is up by 46 per cent during that period and is trading at significantly higher levels.
The fact that the Sensex is currently trading at a price to earnings (PE) multiple of 17.2, which is lower than the PE of 18.2 that it was trading on September 16, 2008. This signifies that the market is not giving much premium as the outlook for earnings remains weak at this point in time.
A number of companies have generated extraordinary returns for their investors. If TCS is up by 407 per cent over the last five years, Dr Reddys Labs has generated a return of 314 per cent in the same period. Wipro and Infosys have risen by 115 and 91 per cent respectively. Tata Motors has been another major gainer over the last five years. While its shares fell by 3.3 per cent in the two day period of Lehman fall, its shares are up by 335 per cent since then.
But this does not hold true for several companies especially those in the metals and mining industry and in the

22 percent of Oklahoma doctors trained in foreign countries, records show
About 22 percent of the medical doctors licensed in Oklahoma received their professional training outside of the United States.
Whether this is good news or bad depends on where the doctors were born, at least according to a study released by a foundation that advocates for foreign-trained medical professionals.
The study, released by the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research in late 2010, found that foreign-trained doctors are just as capable as their U.S.-trained counterparts.
But the study also draws attention to U.S.-born citizens who leave the country to earn medical degrees abroad, suggesting that such doctors may provide inferior care to their patients.
In Oklahoma, there are 2,199 licensed medical doctors who received their medical training outside of the country, or 21.8 percent of all licensees.
Nationally, that figure is closer to 25 percent, the foundation's study shows.
Lyle Kelsey, executive director of the Oklahoma Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision, said the number of foreign-trained medical doctors has never been an issue in Oklahoma.
Kelsey agreed with the study's assertion that medical doctors trained outside of the U.S. are just as capable as their counterparts who graduated from American universities. He also said that doctors have to pass a rigorous, three-phase exam before being granted a medical license in Oklahoma.
"When we looked through the complaints and disciplinary actions over the years ... it seems like the same kind of percentage ... as far as the number of U.S.-trained doctors versus foreign ones," Kelsey said.
Indeed, the board's records show that doctors trained abroad have disproportionately fewer complaints filed against them than doctors trained in the U.S.
In 2010 and 2011, the licensure board took disciplinary action against 48 medical doctors, for a variety of reasons. Eight of those doctors — or 16.7 percent — were educated outside of the country.
Kelsey also believes the number of doctors trained outside the U.S. will increase due to an ongoing doctor shortage, both in Oklahoma and nationwide.
"It's probably more of a doctor maldistribution. We have more doctors in Tulsa and Oklahoma City because of the training available, the fact that they're metropolitan areas and the fact that they're more attractive to families because of the activities available," he said. "But we do have a per capita doctor shortage, based on the national averages."
That "maldistribution" is evident by looking at where doctors live and work.
Oklahoma County has a medical doctor for every 264 residents, the highest concentration of doctors among the state's 77 counties, according to licensure board data. Tulsa County has a doctor for every 359 residents, the second- highest concentration.
In smaller counties, that ratio looks significantly different.
Hughes County has only one doctor for its 14,154 residents, which gives the rural county the second- lowest concentration of medical doctors. Four counties in Oklahoma have no licensed medical doctors.
"There is a need for any new doctors, especially in rural areas, plus we've got a large number of doctors who are reaching retirement age," Kelsey said. "Because of this, I think, you're going to see an increase in foreign-trained doctors ... that will continue and grow for some time."
Degrees abroad
While the study released in 2010 found that doctors trained outside of the U.S. provide patient care that is on par with their U.S.-educated counterparts, it also revealed some details about Americans who attend medical school abroad.
The study, which provides an analysis of 244,153 heart failure and heart attack cases in Pennsylvania, found that patients of American doctors who went to medical school abroad had higher death rates and experienced longer hospital stays compared with other groups.
Doctors born and educated outside of the U.S. had the lowest death rates, while American doctors who earned medical degrees at domestic universities were in the middle, according to the study.
Of the 2,199 foreign-trained doctors licensed in Oklahoma, 967 were born in the U.S. but left the country to earn their medical degrees.
Kelsey said he couldn't comment about the study's findings regarding U.S.-born doctors who received their medical training abroad. He said the licensure board has not studied the issue and that such an inquiry hasn't been requested by board members.
"I guess the only issue that has come up is how many are from offshore medical schools ... Caribbean schools as opposed to countries we're more familiar with, like India," Kelsey said. "The issue that comes up there is what quality they are. Some of them have been around for a long time now and have become more readily accepted.
"Some of the new ones that crop up, sometimes, the board will not approve licenses from them because we just don't know enough about the medical school."
Kelsey said he thinks U.S.-born students often seek medical degrees outside the U.S. because they couldn't get into domestic programs.
"Medical school is hard to get into, here in the United States," he said. "Usually, there's not a huge concern about that unless they just don't do well on their exams."

Of all the reasons for blogging, there's no contest, the greatest fringe benefit is the people, this amazing community of thoughtful individuals who are interested in other people's stories and find enjoyment in good food (and sometimes even become real-life friends, inviting us into their homes).

Oven Fries with Lemony Green Dressing + Gruyere (& a Gift)
[Update! Congratulations to Rachel Q, winner of the giveaway!] A long time ago, I heard a superstition that says the activities in which you partake on New Year's Day set the tone for the way your coming year will go: Spend money, and it will be a year of loss. Receive money, and it will be a year of gain. Work, and you'll be industrious. Play, and you'll be full of fun. Eat something green, so the tradition goes, and you can expect the luck of more green (of the financial kind) to find its way to you in the months ahead. So it's with that old superstition in mind that we bring you today's cheesy oven fries, kicked up a notch with lemony green dressing, salty and addicting and very green---even though, between us, it's not exactly money that we're hoping to find more of in 2013.

For most former big leaguers, their time as an active player is the zenith of their athletic careers. This was not the case for Don Lund, who as a career .240-hitter appeared in only 241 games with the Brooklyn Dodgers, St. Louis Browns, and Detroit Tigers over parts of seven seasons. His tenyear stint as a professional baseball player was simply one part of a captivating fifty-year journey through the worlds of intercollegiate athletics and professional baseball. This journey included being present, as a rookie player, at one of baseball's historic moments and later, as an executive, helping to build a World Series championship team. Lund also spent several years as a scout and a Major League coach. At the collegiate level he was a nine-letter athlete, coached an NCAA championship baseball team, and served as an administrator in one of the country's premier athletic departments.
Donald Andrew Lund was born to Andrew and Marguerite Lund on May 18, 1923, in Detroit, Michigan. Don had one sibling, an older sister, Virginia. His father, an automobile worker, took his son to his first Major League game in 1929 to see Don's favorite player, Charlie Gehringer, play against Babe Ruth and the Yankees.
Lund began his baseball career on the Detroit sandlots and rose to prominence while playing for Southeastern High School. He was a three-sport star there from 1939 to 1941. Don was named to the All-Metropolitan basketball team for three years and in his senior year was named both AllCity and All-State. In football, he captained the team in his senior year while being named AllCity. He was also president of his graduating class.
Don Lund's first big league home run came on
September 12 as a pinch hitter against Cardinals ace
Howie Pollet.
Lund was recruited by several Midwest colleges, but he chose to attend the University of Michigan in nearby Ann Arbor. At a time when freshmen were not eligible for varsity teams, Don became a nine-letter athlete. Playing during the World War II era, he was rejected for military service due to a "trick knee." While in college, he married Betty Huff, his high school sweetheart. They would re-

Oxygenating Sensitive Skin Cream is a poor choice for sensitive skin because it contains arnica extract and the sensitizing preservative methylisothiazolinone, both of which cancel out the effects of the soothing agents in this moisturizer. In addition, the main plant extract in this product (Celandine) can cause contact dermatitis (Source: www.naturaldatabase.com).
Calming and desensitizing, this triphase homogenized cream is ideal for supersensitive skin. Gently effective, Oxygenating Sensitive Skin Cream with antioxidants UV protection, combines Epaline, Shea Butter, Arnica and Vitamin C, to alleviate your skin's blotchiness, dilated capillaries and microcirculation problems. Ideal for post-dermabrasion, acid peels and laser resurfacing.
Water, Squalane, Chelidonium Majus (Celandine) Extract (Liposomes), Glycerin, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Revitalin (Glycoproteins), Calcium Ascorbate (Vitamin C), Sorbitol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Gel, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Stearic Acid, Corylus Avellana (Hazel Nut) Oil, Glyceryl Stearate, Arnica Montana Flowerhead Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Tocopherol, Zea Mays (Corn) Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Phenoxyethanol, Dimethicone, Methylisothiazolinone
Pevonia Botanica At-A-Glance
Strengths: One outstanding eye cream and retinol product for lips; a couple of very good cleansers and toners; products don't take everything-but-kitchen-sink approach to ingredients.
Weaknesses: Pervasive use of irritating synthetic and natural ingredients; no sunscreens included as part of daytime skin-care routine; sole sunscreen contains sensitizing preservative; no skin-lightening or BHA options; lack of effective options to manage acne; jar packaging; hokey claims that don't have substantiated proof.
Pevonia is a spa/salon line of skin-care products that has been around since 1991 and, like countless other spa lines, speaks of its unification of natural ingredients with advanced scientific technology. Its vast range of products showcases all manner of gimmicky ingredients, including caviar, numerous essential oils, marine DNA, and products said to oxygenate skin. Many of their products make mention of being triphase and homogenized. Although that may make them sound special, those terms are common to cosmetics chemists involved in mixing various ingredients. For example, many moisturizers (and emulsions in general) have multiple phases as they are being manufactured. One phase gets a certain blend of ingredients, those are mixed, and then the next phase is added. Hardly anything to brag about.
You may hear aestheticians selling Pevonia products speak of the outstanding results the products provide, all due to the company's fastidious selection of holistic, natural ingredients. It can be a spellbinding speech, but the reality is that many of the natural ingredients Pevonia uses (including lemon oil and arnica) are documented problems for skin, and many synthetic ingredients are included and some are also problematic. Sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate and methylisothiazolinone aren't the least bit natural, and their inclusion in these products is further proof that Pevonia's self-proclaimed title of skin-care leaders in the spa industry is on par with McDonald's spearheading vegetarianism. Of course, the overall message is to not let yourself get caught up in any cosmetic company's grandstanding until you have examined the proof behind the proclamations.
As expected, not everything is plant-infused smoke and mirrors with Pevonia. They deserve credit for their mostly succinct ingredient lists and do have a handful of remarkable products that are, surprisingly, fragrance-free. This is definitely a line to shop very carefully, and note that none of their routines are recommended because not a single one of them has a group of problem-free products (and all of them omit sunscreen, yet several products claim to offer UV protection, which is dishonest and misleading).

Not too long ago, I was preaching at a funeral service, and one friendly person came up to me after the service and said with what seemed to me, a little bit of tongue in cheek, "I'm almost a Christian." Perhaps his comment resulted from my attempts to persuade those in the audience who were still alive, to turn, and accept Jesus Christ as the only true hope for eternal salvation.

There is a technology available that has revolutionized E-mail. Instead of writing E-mail by typing, you can now talk it. And, not only can you talk it, you can also record it live, via video. Thanks to a software program by Aimslab, you can take ordinary AVI files and condense them into extended movies and attach them to your E-mail, or even put them on your web site for viewing online, or for download.
Preachers always notice the listeners who are paying careful attention. Our eyes tend to go to the people who are busy looking up passages of scripture whenever a reference is given. Another strong indication of a good listener is when someone in the audience is taking notes. This is different from drawing pictures. The preacher can also notice the eyes that appear to be open, but that bland stare can also indicate that the rhythm and tone of the speaker's voice and the holy atmosphere is putting the person to sleep.

This piece is about ego and about pain, two human afflictions. Ego is often thought of as I, or id.
It is most often used by people to measure their self-worth. It is more than just internal. It is a show of possessions, of things, of happenings.
Many of these showings are expected by society, are a measure of success, usually expressed by physical possessions, costs, appearances, apparent well being. Things to be strived for.

On Monday, Linkin Park released its latest single on Xbox Music. A collaboration with Steve Aoki (center in the photo above), "A Light That Never Comes" will stream exclusively for 14 days on Microsoft's all-in-one music service.
Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda (left) wrote about the release in an Xbox Wire blog post.
"As the founding member of a band that turns down more partnerships than we approve, I wanted to shed some light on Linkin Park and Microsoft, and let you know how we see the future," he wrote to fans.
The catalyst for the relationship with Microsoft was gaming, he said. Years ago, the band held legendary Xbox tournaments on its tour bus playing "Halo"— competitions that often included fans and other bands.
"Gaming and Xbox, however, were just the introduction," Shinoda said. "It wasn't the thing that got me interested in Windows. Recently, my band mates and I had the opportunity to release a fantastic piece of music-making software that we co-developed for Windows called Stagelight, which takes full advantage of touchscreens on Windows 8 devices."
With new touch-enabled Windows devices, Shinoda saw a potential for the future of music writing, recording and mixing, and envisioned the computers as the hub of the studio environment, augmenting or replacing the classic mixing consoles that currently take up large amounts of studio space.
"As we met various people at Microsoft, I was inspired by the passion and creativity behind their innovations," he said. "We see our partnership with Microsoft to have the potential of finding new ways of creating, sharing and experiencing things together as a community."
Head on over to Xbox Wire to see the rest of what Shinoda had to say. And for the single, check out the Xbox 360 dashboard and online at music.xbox.com to listen and see behind-the-scenes footage.

Authorities say a man sneaked into the grizzly bear exhibit at the San Francisco Zoo.
And yes, the bears were home.
Lucky for the man, a zoo patron alerted staff, and they responded immediately.
Staffers fired a warning shot to keep the bears away from the man, before securing them inside their dens.
A zoo official said that the man was conscious but unresponsive when he was rescued, and that he didn't show any apparent signs of injury.
He was taken to San Francisco General Hospital for evaluation.
The man was not identified, but officals say that he was arrested.
The zoo made headlines back in 2007 when a Siberian tiger scaled a wall and killed a 17-year-old man.
Following the incident, the zoo overhauled its safety procedures.
It is not clear how the man got inside the enclosure, or what prompted him.
