I was wondering if anyone knew of a good podcast plug in. I need something that isn't extremely tiny and displays multiple episodes. I already have an RSS feed that I've been using for quite some time and I don't want to switch over to anything because that would be hard on all my subscribers.
I'm looking for something that looks like the one on this website: insidethemagic.net (I know for a fact they use wordpress)
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Proposition 203: the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act
Proposition 203, the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act, was passed in November of 2010. It protects terminally or seriously ill patients from state prosecution for using limited amounts of marijuana on their doctor's recommendation. Qualifying patients who register with the Arizona Department of Health Services will obtain marijuana from nonprofit medical marijuana dispensaries and caregivers regulated by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS). Read Proposition 203: the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act, or download it here.
Since the passing of Prop 203, the ADHS has developed statewide rules for patients, caregivers and dispensaries. These rules regulate who can use, grow, sell and buy medical marijuana. It also set the processes, time lines, and fees associated with registration cards.
Medical Marijuana Patient Law
Medical marijuana patients in Arizona must have one of the qualifying conditions, have a doctor's recommendation, must be registered with the Arizona Department of Health Services, and must pay the appropriate fee.
Medical Marijuana Caregiver Law
Arizona will allow registered individuals to act as caregivers for medical marijuana patients. Caregivers can provide medical marijuana to up to five patients and are allowed to cultivate up to 12 plants per patient, as long as the patient lives over 25 miles away from a dispensary and the caregiver does so in accordance to the State and City caregiver cultivation rules. Caregivers and their patients must be registered with the State and must pay the associated fees.
Medical Marijuana Dispensary and Cultivation Laws
Arizona will have a total of 126 dispensaries, 1 medical marijuana dispensary for every 10 pharmacy permits in the State. The Arizona Department of Health Services will begin accepting applications for dispensaries on June 1st, 2011 and it plans to have the first licenses issued by August or September. The 126 licenses will be picked at random in a in a lottery-style process. Applicants that want to participate must submit an application along with all appropriate documentation and a non-refundable $5,000 application fee.

Arizonans–whether medical marijuana patients or not–and tourists should know the restrictions and protections that come with the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act. These medical marijuana laws, much like alcohol laws, help keep citizens safer. Read full article about "All Arizonans' Rights In Regards to Medical Marijuana Laws."
Arizona's medical marijuana law does not protect people that are not registered with the State as a patient, caregiver, or dispensary agent (employee). CURRENT CRIMINAL MARIJUANA LAWS APPLY! Don't think that marijuana is legal or anyone can possess or use it. Again, only those that are registered are protected! Arizona has some of the toughest criminal marijuana laws in the United States. Even first time possession or use charges can carry steep fines, mandatory jail time and possibly felony charges.

Delaware becomes the 16th state to allow medical marijuana
Governor Markell signed a bill making Delaware the 16th state to allow the use of medical marijuana. The new law allows qualified patients 18 and older to use and possess marijuana and goes into effect on June 1st, 2011. Patients in Delaware can possess up to six ounces of marijuana.
The qualifying conditions include people diagnosed with cancer, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis, decompensated cirrhosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), agitation of Alzheimer's disease, PTSD, intractable nausea, severe seizures, severe and persistent muscle spasms, wasting syndrome, and severe debilitating pain that has not responded to other treatments or for which other treatments produced serious side effects.
Patients will not be able to grow marijuana for themselves, but will be able to obtain the medicine from state-licensed and regulated "compassion centers" in each of the state's three counties, that will grow and distribute medicinal marijuana to qualified patients.
Senate Majority Whip Margaret Rose Henry, D-Wilmington East, who sponsored the legislation was quoted by the Marijuana Policy Project saying "There are so many people in Delaware who are suffering unimaginable pain that this will help, and we want to be able to do what we can to provide much-needed relief for those citizens. I am very grateful that so many of my colleagues were able to look past the myths surrounding marijuana and into the eyes and hearts of those who were crying out for our help. Needless to say, I am profoundly grateful to Gov. Markell for his support of this important legislation."
A spokesman said Governor Markell wanted to sign the bill into quickly because of the long period of time it will take to set up the state-run system.

Who is US Attorney for Arizona? Dennis K. Burke
Meet Dennis K. Burke.
"The United States Attorney's Office for the District of Arizona ("the USAO") will continue to vigorously prosecute individuals and organizations that participate in unlawful manufacturing, distribution and marketing activity involving marijuana, even if such activities are permitted under state law." – Dennis K. Burke
this is the US Attorney for Arizona.
He was nominated by Obama in 2009 and loves to write.
Apparently, he feels the need to remind Arizona law makers that he is the one in charge and Federal laws are the only thing worth learning.
What he forgot is that his boss (Obama) supports decriminalization of Medical Marijuana federally.
I recently received a copy of the 'letter,' Burke sent to William Humble.
In this letter, Burke wants to remind everyone medical marijuana is illegal and the Feds will raid any business in the medical marijuana trade like it was Abbottabad Pakistan. He even goes so far in his letter to single out "marketing" services as well.
Just a reminder, azmarijuana.com is hosted in Canada. All of this information, all of this material, everything on this site is hosted in CANADA and protected under freedom of speech! So go nuts! Speak yo mind!
And what did William Humble say in response to this letter?
"The bottom line take-home message in today's letter is that federal enforcement priorities in Arizona will continue to focus on folks that manufacture, distribute, possess and market marijuana despite the passage of the AZ Medical Marijuana Act- and that folks that operate large cultivation facilities or dispensaries (including property owners, landlords, and financiers) will be at risk for federal prosecution and asset forfeiture even if they're in compliance with Arizona law and the rules that we published a couple of weeks ago." -William Humble, Director AZDHS
Wow. Thank you Captain Obvious.
We are all now dumber having read your response.
I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul.
Seriously Bill? This was your response. You really thought that handing in a book report with a title and short summary on the US attorneys letter was worthy of anything.
How 'bout you pretend to have a pair of balls and tell the US Attorney to not interfere with State judicial law.

Medical marijuana without the high or stoned feeling
In an April 3rd, 2011 online report in Nature Chemical Biology, researchers announced that they have found a way to get rid of the high produced by THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, without decreasing the medicinal effects of the drug.
The high or stoned feeling is what attracts recreational users, however the side effects are sometimes unwanted for patients that use the medicine throughout the day.
Many patients throughout the United States and Canada currently use marijuana for its medical effects such as increased appetite or relief from pain and seizures.
In addition to hitting the pleasure-inducing cannabinoid receptors, THC hits another receptor that normally receives the chemical messenger known as glycine. Modifying THC so it hits only the glycine receptors could provide a means for delivering relief without the high generally associated with medical marijuana.

Inside a Marijuana Evaluation Clinic
Behind the Scenes | Exclusive
To get the details about qualifying for a medical marijuana card in Arizona, we sat down with CannaPatient owner Ross Taylor to get some answers.
DAN: So Ross, where are CannaPatient's located?
ROSS:Currently we have medical marijuana evaluation centers in Gilbert and Prescott. We also have plans for a third office in Phoenix in the future.
The address of our Gilbert location is located at 428 N Gilbert Road, Suite N in downtown Gilbert and our Prescott location is at 333 S Montezuma St. Suite B. You can find us online at www.cannapatient.com.
DAN: Do you accept walk-ins?
ROSS: Yes, we do accept walk-ins if they have medical records and the staff can immediately begin to schedule an appointment. Sometimes we can even see the patient on the spot. Patients can make an appointment by phone or on our website at www.cannapatient.com.
DAN: So, if I wanted to get a medical marijuana prescription, what should I know or do before going to see your clinic?
ROSS: First: You need to know if you qualify. You must have one of the following conditions for a doctor to be able to recommend medical marijuana. (for a list of qualifying conditions click here)
DAN: So if I have one of the qualifying conditions, what's next?
ROSS: Patients can make an appointment with CannaPatient on our website at www.cannapatient.com or by phone at 888-506-2553. When a patient makes an appointment they must fill out the medical release form and patient history form. This allows our evaluating doctor to review the patient's medical records and qualifying condition. When the patient arrives the day of the appointment, the evaluating doctor simply certifies that the patient has the qualifying condition and discusses with the patient cannabis treatment plan options.
DAN: I have severe migraines and a number of other problems that can create a world of pain for me and many times they interfere with my ability to work or sleep. I've tried drugs that my doctor has prescribed (Vicodin, Percocet, etc.); they made me woozy, made me sick, not to mention, I hate putting chemicals in my body. Would I qualify?
ROSS: Many of our patients with similar severe pain are referred to us by their primary care physician and have tried other prescription treatment plans with little or no success. A referral from your primary physician will not ensure that you receive a recommendation, but it goes a long way in proving your case to the evaluating doctor and to the State.
DAN: If I currently use marijuana to alleviate pain, should I tell the doctor?
ROSS: Yes, definitely. If a patient has had positive results using medical marijuana to relieve the symptoms of their condition in the past, then they should let the evaluating doctor know. Not only does it help them make their determination, but it also shows that a marijuana treatment plan (whether legal or not) has worked for the patient in the past.
DAN: Why would a doctor not recommend medical marijuana to someone?
ROSS: A patient must show they truly qualify for a medical marijuana recommendation. Evaluation centers are not going to hand out recommendations to anyone that walks through the door, as it is in some other States. Simply stated, if you don't qualify, you will not receive a recommendation. There is a lot of pressure by the State to make sure doctors are not abusing the State's guidelines, those that do, risk having their license revoked and could face prosecution.
DAN: Is there anything I should bring to my appointment (ie. Records)?
ROSS: When a patient sets up an appointment at our clinic we will send them a Medical Release Form and a Patient History Form that need to be completed and returned before the appointment. These forms give our physician access to the patient's medical records that are held by their primary physician. However, if a patient has records that aren't on file with their primary physician, they need to bring those with them.
Patients also need to bring:
- Arizona issued Driver's License or Photo Identification
- Caregiver's information (if patient is planning on using one)
- Payment for Appointment
DAN: What kinds of payment do you accept?
ROSS: We accept cash and all major credit cards.
DAN: How soon can you see me?
ROSS: We are taking appointments now. You can set up an appointment online at www.cannapatient.com or by calling 888-552-2553. Call anytime from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Saturday.
DAN: How long does a medical marijuana evaluation take?
ROSS: Patients must complete and return the medical release form and patient history form before the appointment. These forms will take 15 or 20 min to fill out. The actual appointment consists of two parts. First we take the patient's vitals (blood pressure, heart rate, height, weight, etc.), which takes 15 to 20 minutes. Once those are complete the patient will sit down with the doctor to discuss their condition and how medical marijuana may help. If the doctor concludes that medical marijuana may be of benefit to them, the physician will discuss a treatment plan and usage options with the patient (ie: smoking, digesting, topical balm and creams, etc). The meeting with the physician takes 15 or 20 min. Qualifying patients are issued recommendations at the end of the appointment, which in total lasts 30 minutes to 45 min.
DAN: Can you tell me how insurance works? Will my insurance cover the evaluation fee?
ROSS: No, unfortunately insurance will not cover the evaluation fee. You can try to submit it to your insurer for reimbursement, but it is highly unlikely they will pay it.
DAN: Say I work for the city or even the state and my benefits include health insurance. Seeking a medical marijuana card is something I may not want them to know. Does this get reported to them or my work or anyone? Sorry. I guess I'm just your typical paranoid patient.
ROSS: Because of doctor-patient confidentiality laws, your medical marijuana records private and will not be shared with anyone, including your insurer or employer.
DAN: Well thanks for taking time to speak with us, i can see you are busy. Anything else you want to let patients know?
ROSS: Patients that are interested in getting a medical marijuana card should make an appointment sooner than later. Appointments times are filling up quickly and the Department of Health Services is receiving hundreds of applications weekly.

Medical Directors in Arizona Marijuana Dispensaries
Below article came from the AZDHS.gov's website and had a bunch of bull shit why the Health Dept. wants a Medical Director in Dispensaries. It doesn't add up as usual.
A number of published studies have found that using marijuana (and other psychoactive substances) is associated with an earlier onset of psychotic illness (notice I said "is associated with" rather than "causes"). National mental health surveys have repeatedly found more substance use, especially cannabis use, among people with a diagnosis of a psychotic disorder.
A new study published today on-line in the Archives of General Psychiatry found "a relationship between cannabis use and earlier onset of psychotic illness… supporting the hypothesis that cannabis use plays a causal role in the development of psychosis in some patients." The authors go on to say that reducing marijuana use could delay or even prevent some cases of psychosis.
The earlier the onset of schizophrenia, the more challenging it is to manage. So reducing the use of marijuana could be one of the few strategies that could help delay the onset of symptoms. The article suggests that "… an extra 2 or 3 years of psychosis-free functioning could allow many patients to achieve the important developmental milestones of late adolescence and early adulthood that could lower the long-term disability arising from psychotic disorders." The results of this study confirm the need for a renewed public health warning about the potential for cannabis use to bring on psychotic illness.
Anyway- there have been some public comments on our medical marijuana rules that have questioned the wisdom of requiring dispensaries to have access to a Medical Director. Hopefully this study and others that link marijuana use to bad outcomes will convince some folks that it makes sense to have some professional medical oversight at dispensaries to help protect the health status of the patients with debilitating medical conditions that will be using the dispensaries.
Give me a fucking break. This is your reasoning Humble? Some researcher found that cannabis makes people crazy? And that means we should have a medical director at a dispensary? What about alcohol? That will make you 100 times more lucid and I don't need a doctor when I go to my local Safeway to get a fifth.
And it was published today? Humble, you've been wanting a Medical Director for months now and you just found an article published today? Sounds like you are desperate and reaching. What is your real agenda with the Medical Directors at Dispensaries? Ya, know what. Don't answer. Your bullshit will just piss me off even more.
Marijuana makes people crazy? No. A 300% Sales Tax and a cop putting someone behind bars for possessing a plant is what makes people crazy. Get a clue Sheriff Humble.
If you are so in love with all the BS on the net here's another article about soda and children from the same Archies of GP:
maybe we should have medical directors at soda machines? just sayin.

how close do you live to your parents and inlaws? 'built' in babysitter?

My FIL and wife live about 10 minutes away but we only see them 1-2 times per month and no childcare. They are older and she spends so much time caring for her grandkids. I also don't trust her ways of doing things :)
My parents (thankfully) live about 3.5 hours away. We see them a few times a year for short visits. Even if they lived in the same town we do, I'd never let them babysit my children. They don't have the patience, understanding, or compassion to care for young children. Never did.
My in-laws, on the other hand, live about 15-20 minutes away and are a godsend. My DH lost his job the month our DS was born and is in school to get his PharmD (hopefully next summer). I, of course, had to go back to work to support our family. Thankfully, we were fiscally conservative when we bought our house a decade ago so we've always been able to afford our bills. My MIL was a SAHM so she generously offered to babysit for us every day. We just had DD in May of this year and Gramma now shuttles DS back and forth to preschool, cares for DD, and has both kids in the afternoon until I get off work.
In addition, our son usually asks to go to his grandparents' house at least once over the weekend and is always welcomed with open arms. Because of their daily generosity, we rarely ask them to babysit outside our work/school schedules unless it can't be avoided and even then they rarely say no. DS even stayed with them when I was in the hospital having DD so that DH could get some much needed sleep.
Is it a perfect situation? No. There are times when we get frustrated with his parents, but most of the time, they defer to us since we are the parents. We try to compromise within reason to make things easier on us all. Honestly, I hope one day my childrens' spouses think of us the way I think of my in-laws.
Married to my best friend (Matt) since 5/1/04
Mommy to Liam (12/5/08), Mizuko (MC 4/25/12), and Emily (5/21/13)
My parents have passed on, but my husbands parents live 2000+ miles away. The only person I trust to watch my children is my younger sister. She lives about 20 minutes away. Even then they have only spent nights during emergencies.
We live about 15 min. from my ILs and they are definitely a big part of our lives. When I went back to work after my first maternity leave MIL took care of our DD for just under a year, until we were able to send her to a daycare that we trusted. I wouldn't necessarily say they are "built-in babysitters", but our DD has spent the night at their house on several occasions, and they most likely would watch both kids if we were going out, but I try and find a sitter first. My ILs will provide transportation for our DD from one palce to another when needed, and they take part in almost all of our kids' milestones. We have them over for dinner, or go to their house for a meal almost weekly, and talk on the phone regularly simpy to check in on eachother. I love the relationship I have formed with both my ILs, and am so happy that my children are blessed with such involved and supportive grandparents.
Of course, there are times when my MIL in particular will disagree on the way DH or I are handling a particular situation, and voice her concerns/ideas, but thankfully those occurances are much more infrequent compared to when our DD was a baby. Overall, I consider myself very fortunate to have married into such a 'whole' family, if that makes sense. My parents have been divorced since I was a teen and both of them still live on the East Coast. We typically see my mom and stepdad twice a year.

My parents are 75 minutes away and see DD about once every 3 weeks on average. They love spending time with her but don't babysit very often. Occasionally we will go to them and leave DD so we can go on a "date" but it would be less expensive to hire a babysitter compared to spending the money on gas and mileage.
Fortunately I can ask my mom to come stay with me when DH is out of town and that helps to have another pair of hands.
We've never left DD overnight with anyone besides us. Sounds heavenly but I don't think she is ready yet.
Sadly my MIL died when DD was only 5 months old and we now have a strained relationship with my FIL as he remarried. So they are not very involved in her life.
We do have extended family about 1.5 hours away that we see frequently and occasionally they take DD as her cousins are the same age and very close.
Happily married since 1998, mom to Zoe, 12/8/08, and dog Yuki (7).� Accidental APing�while�working mom.
My parents live about 15-20 minutes away, and have been very involved with the boys (their only grandchildren) since birth. They watch the boys Wednesday evenings (3pm-8pm), and then take the boys to their house for a sleep-over day from Friday into Saturday, and drop them off on Saturday evening. Both of them still work, so they can't really do any sort of "free daycare," and I have the boys in daycare 2 days a week so I can work. Because of their work schedules, sometimes scheduling an emergency babysit isn't always possible.
My in-laws live about 20 minutes in the other direction. We see them much more rarely. As a PP mention, they are alot older (by about 20 years!) than my folks, and don't really have the energy to full on care for two active boys. They're also both retired and of the "we've raised our kids, don't expect us to raise yours" mentality. Asking MIL to babysit is sometimes a PITA because she's always like, "Oh, I dunno, I have to check my schedule. I've got church something going on, and you know we'll be away for two weeks at the end of the month..." They're very, very nice people and we love them very much, but they're more interested in living their golden years not "tied down" so to speak.
FTM to twins 2008
My parents are both deceased, but my in-laws live three houses down from us. They are in no way a built-in babysitter. They may watch our kids for maybe 3 hours once every 3-4 months. The Y watches them more (PNO) than my in-laws by far.
My kids see them in passing, but maybe actually spend time with them (with us there) once every two weeks.
It's sad, really. They "say" that they are involved grandparents, but are not really. They talk the talk, but don't walk the walk. They never, ever ask if the kids want to walk down (hell, they can just walk down there by themselves) and spend time or just have a quick snack or whatever. They are both retired, so it's not even like there is a time issue or whatever. It makes me upset sometimes b/c my parents never got to meet my kids and they would have loved, loved, loved being grandparents and sometimes I feel that the in-laws take them for granted.

Two Colombian economists decided to see who's getting money off the illegal drug trade. And they discovered that American and British banks are getting a big chunk of the profits. (h/t Chris from Americablog) That's because the cartels are laundering their proceeds through those banks.
The most far-reaching and detailed analysis to date of the drug economy in any country – in this case, Colombia – shows that 2.6% of the total street value of cocaine produced remains within the country, while a staggering 97.4% of profits are reaped by criminal syndicates, and laundered by banks, in first-world consuming countries.
Mind you, I'm not sure the analysis would be that different for any agricultural export. Even for food, farmers make less than 12% of all the money spent.
But one of the factors, the economists contend, is that the US more stringently polices money laundering in Colombian banks than in US ones.
Colombia's banks, meanwhile, said Mejía, "are subject to rigorous control, to stop laundering of profits that may return to our country. Just to bank $2,000 involves a huge amount of paperwork – and much of this is overseen by Americans."
"In Colombia," said Gaviria, "they ask questions of banks they'd never ask in the US. If they did, it would be against the laws of banking privacy. In the US you have very strong laws on bank secrecy, in Colombia not – though the proportion of laundered money is the other way round. It's kind of hypocrisy, right?"
I have noted (as does the Guardian), how banks like Wachovia used drug proceeds to help offset their losses from the mortgage bubble shitpile. I have noted how much less stringent we were in rooting out all the crime than we are with other banks, such as the Lebanese Canadian Bank. And I noted Citi's recent wrist slap for allowing money laundering in the same shitpile period.
This article shows the other side to that: while our banksters get rich off of crime here, Colombia and Mexico and Honduras suffer the violence that results. That really has to change.
Back when the story of how Wachovia helped drug cartels launder money was breaking in 2010, reports said that cartels had also used Citi to launder their money.
A Mexican judge on Jan. 22 accused the owners of six centros cambiarios, or money changers, in Culiacan and Tijuana of laundering drug funds through their accounts at the Mexican units of Banco Santander SA, Citigroup Inc. and HSBC, according to court documents filed in the case.
Citigroup, HSBC and Santander, which is the largest Spanish bank by assets, weren't accused of any wrongdoing. The three banks say Mexican law bars them from commenting on the case, adding that they each carefully enforce anti-money-laundering programs.
HSBC has stopped accepting dollar deposits in Mexico, and Citigroup no longer allows non-customers to change dollars there. Citigroup detected suspicious activity in the Tijuana accounts, reported it to regulators and closed the accounts, Citigroup spokesman Paulo Carreno says.
At the time, it seemed that Citi had reported the attempted money laundering as required by US bank secrecy laws.
I guess they didn't report everything they were supposed to. The Office of the Comptroller and the Currency, Citi's regulator, just announced a cease and desist order covering inadequacies in Citi's anti-money laundering compliance.
(3) Some of the critical deficiencies in the elements of the Bank's BSA/AML compliance program include the following:
(a) The Bank has internal control weaknesses including the incomplete identification of high risk customers in multiple areas of the bank, inability to assess and monitor client relationships on a bank-wide basis, inadequate scope of periodic reviews of customers, weaknesses in the scope and documentation of the validation and optimization process applied to the automated transaction monitoring system, and inadequate customer due diligence;
(b) The Bank failed to adequately conduct customer due diligence and enhanced due diligence on its foreign correspondent customers, its retail banking customers, and its international personal banking customers and did not properly obtain and analyze information to ascertain the risk and expected activity of particular customers;
(c) The Bank self-reported to the OCC that from 2006 through 2010, the Bank failed to adequately monitor its remote deposit capture/international cash letter instrument processing in connection with foreign correspondent banking;
(d) As a result of that inadequate monitoring, the Bank failed to file timely SARs involving remote deposit capture/international cash letter activity in its foreign correspondent banking business; and
(e) The Bank's independent BSA/AML audit function failed to identify systemic deficiencies found by the OCC during the examination process. [my emphasis]
Note that among other things, Citi took this opportunity to 'fess up to not adequately monitoring the use of cash letters (see this article for a description of how cash letters are used in money laundering) in the 2006-2010 period. You know? The period when Citi was reeling because it had invested too deeply in shitpile?
Now maybe in the near future, Treasury will release a similar notice telling us whether all this negligence on Citi's part only could have–or actually did–help some nefarious types launder money. But for now, OCC's not telling. Nor is OCC fining Citi (which they would normally do if Citi violates this consent order–banks, you see, get do-overs when they fuck up).
It appears that Vikram Pandit's failure to disclose material problems with Citibank's valuation of its shitpile is another of the crimes we're supposed to look forward and ignore. Jonathan Weil looks at how one of the documents disclosed in the FCIC dump–a February 14, 2008 OCC report finding that Citibank's models for measuring the value of its shitpile were crap.
The gist of the regulator's findings: Citigroup's internal controls were a mess. So were its valuation methods for subprime mortgage bonds, which had spawned record losses at the bank. Among other things, "weaknesses were noted with model documentation, validation and control group oversight," the letter said. The main valuation model Citigroup was using "is not in a controlled environment." In other words, the model wasn't reliable.
That report was addressed to Vikram Pandit.
But eight days later, in the annual report that Pandit certified himself, Citibank made no mention of its shitpile valuation problems.
Eight days later, on Feb. 22, Citigroup filed its annual report to shareholders, in which it said "management believes that, as of Dec. 31, 2007, the company's internal control over financial reporting is effective." Pandit certified the report personally, including the part about Citigroup's internal controls. So did Citigroup's chief financial officer at the time, Gary Crittenden.The annual report also included a Feb. 22 letter from KPMG LLP, Citigroup's outside auditor, vouching for the effectiveness of the company's financial-reporting controls. Nowhere did Citigroup or KPMG mention any of the problems cited by the OCC. KPMG, which earned $88.1 million in fees from Citigroup for 2007, should have been aware of them, too. The lead partner on KPMG's Citigroup audit, William O'Mara, was listed on the "cc" line of the OCC's Feb. 14 letter.
Now, if DOJ actually want to jail a high level criminal, this is the kind of easy thing they ought to look into. And perhaps Pandit's failure to disclose Citi's problems modeling shitpile is one of the things FCIC referred to DOJ.
But I doubt it. Pandit's a former MOTU, after all, and MOTUs simply shouldn't be bothered with minor things like misleading stockholders.
About four hours ago, Iowa's Attorney General Tom Miller testified to the Senate Banking Committee it would be months before the combined AG "investigation" came up with a settlement (he also suggested that there were new aspects that were just being added to the "investigation").
Dodd: How long AG investigation?
Miller: Months, rather than year or longer. Depends on negotiations. If we expand scope, expands time. Maybe something on fees allowed. Forced insurance, huge abuse. Same thing w/dual track. If you all could solve the 2nd lien problem.
That's almost exactly the moment when the WaPo posted a story reporting the AGs were close to a settlement.
The 50 state attorneys general are in negotiations over an agreement over foreclosures that would include a victims' compensation fund that would provide money for borrowers whose homes have been taken away improperly, according to state and industry officials.
The discussions are still preliminary and the final deal may change significantly as details are hammered out and the settlement is vetted by 50 separate state offices, the official said.
Now, there's a lot that's weird with this story, aside from the way it seemingly contradicted what Miller was saying to Congress at precisely the moment he was saying it. First, only three of the big servicers were mentioned in the story:
While there's no universal agreement that would apply industry wide and the AGs are negotiating separately with each bank, many of the stipulations are the same for the agreements being discussed with the three largest mortgage servicers: Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo.
No mention of GMAC or Citi–or Goldman Sachs, which just announced a freeze on its foreclosures.
And this story reported that dual-track processing–in which people are being processed for modification at the same time they're being foreclosed on–"should" stop.
They also agree that there should be no more "dual track" loan modification negotiations that end suddenly with foreclosures.
Yet at almost precisely the time when WaPo published this claim, BoA's President of Home Loans, Barbara Desoer was explaining that they couldn't end dual-track processing except on those loans BoA held on its own books and/or for loans that qualify for HAMP, and Chase's CEO of Home Lending David Lowman was testifying that they wouldn't end dual-track processing (he did suggest there was something Congress could do to give servicers safe harbor to end dual-track processing, but that he wouldn't describe it in the hearing).
Then there's the claim that there would be a compensation fund set up for those wrongly foreclosed.
The most radical part of the settlement deal has to do with providing monetary compensation for homeowners who have lost their homes but can prove that they have been foreclosed on wrongly. This is the most contentious item because the amount of the funds that would go into this have not been worked out and it's also unclear how it would be administered.
At least the WaPo had the grace to suggest, without saying outright, that any such fund would be ripe for abuse by the banksters. The banks, after all, are often unable to give any real accounting of the amounts owned (and if they were able to, they'd be unwilling to show the illegal fees and accounting they were using). So how is a wrongly-foreclosed homeowner supposed to prove they were wrongly-foreclosed?
And then the article mentions nothing about modifications going forward. In other words, this "settlement" would achieve absolutely nothing–except for getting a bunch of banksters excused, again, for breaking the law. Not that I find that hard to believe. Just odd that WaPo wouldn't mention that this alleged "settlement" wouldn't accomplish the primary requirement of any "settlement:" fixing any problem but the legal liability of the banksters.
Mind you, I did note during the hearing that Miller didn't seem to have consumers' interests in minds when he was talking about any settlement, so I guess the outlined proposal is a possible one.
But most of all, note the big news in this story.
There is no mention of an investigation.
There was not a single soul at today's hearing who claimed to have a good sense of the scope or reasons for the massive foreclosure fraud perpetrated by the banks. Indeed, almost everyone acknowledged the need for further investigation to make that clear.
That "investigation" was supposed to be conducted by the 50 AGs.
But if this article has even a shred of truth to it then the AG "investigation" is instead a fast-track effort not to "investigate" (god forbid, because you might actually expose how the banksters had ended private property and rule of law in the United States), but to find a way to get the banksters out of any accountability for their crimes.
Let me make a rare statement: I agree with just about everything Richard Shelby said in his call for an investigation of mortgage servicers.
The Federal Banking Regulators should immediately review the mortgage servicing and foreclosure activities of Ally Financial, JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America. The regulators should determine exactly what occurred at these institutions and make those findings available to the Banking Committee without delay.
Furthermore, because it appears that the regulators have failed yet again to properly supervise the entities under their jurisdiction, the Committee should immediately commence a separate, independent investigation into these allegations. It is the Committee's fundamental responsibility to conduct oversight of the banking regulatory agencies and the firms under their jurisdiction.
With the recent passage of the Dodd-Frank Act wherein the financial regulators were granted even broader powers, I am highly troubled that once again our federal regulators appear to be asleep at the switch.
But I am rather curious about one thing. Just days after Goldman Sachs announced that its servicing arm, Litton Loan Servicing, was suspending foreclosures in some states, why aren't they–or the other big servicers, Citi and Wells Fargo, on Shelby's list?
Mind you, given HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan's announcement that the government has been investigating FHA servicers since May and had already identified problems from some servicers (but had apparently done nothing about those problems), maybe Shelby has reason to pick on just three of the servicers.
But Shelby's choice of targets sure does bear watching.
Remember WhereIsTheNote?
In the face of mounting evidence that the banks foreclosing on homes did not comply with legal requirements during securitization of mortgages and therefore don't have legal standing to foreclose, the SEIU and some community organizations teamed together last month to create an online tool that anyone can use to ask their mortgage servicer where their note is. By helping homeowners proactively check whether their bank has the right paperwork, it gives them more power in the event of a foreclosure.
The site launched just over three weeks ago. 200,000 people have visited the website; around 15,000 have used the tool to ask their bank for their note (I'll have a more exact number shortly).
What has happened since gets very interesting. In the first few days, some banks responded quickly and in apparent good faith, some admitting there was a problem, and others sending what they claimed was the note, but was either something else entirely, or clearly did not meet the requirements for transfer.
But as banks realized those first requests were not isolated requests, two things happened. Either banks have sent back a response saying the homeowner had no right to see their note. Or, banks have not responded at all.
Here's where things get interesting. The WhereIsTheNote-generated letters invoke the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA). Section 6 of RESPA dictates how loan servicers must reply to consumer complaints about their loan.
Section 6 provides borrowers with important consumer protections relating to the servicing of their loans. Under Section 6 of RESPA, borrowers who have a problem with the servicing of their loan (including escrow account questions), should contact their loan servicer in writing, outlining the nature of their complaint. The servicer must acknowledge the complaint in writing within 20 business days of receipt of the complaint. Within 60 business days the servicer must resolve the complaint by correcting the account or giving a statement of the reasons for its position. Until the complaint is resolved, borrowers should continue to make the servicer's required payment.
A borrower may bring a private law suit, or a group of borrowers may bring a class action suit, within three years, against a servicer who fails to comply with Section 6's provisions. Borrowers may obtain actual damages, as well as additional damages if there is a pattern of noncompliance. [my emphasis]
In other words, RESPA says that if homeowners write their servicer and say, "I have a problem with the way you're servicing my loan," the law requires that the bank acknowledge that the homeowner has written that letter within in 20 days. And it requires that it resolve that complaint within 60 days. If banks don't do so, homeowners can sue.
So, as I said, just over three weeks after people started using this site, banks have been writing back and either telling homeowners that the complaint basically saying "I have doubts about whether you actually have legal standing to collect my mortgage payments" doesn't qualify as a "problem" under RESPA. Here's how IndyMac made such a claim in one response letter.
Although your fax references the response as RESPA Qualified Written Response eligible, your request actually does not qualify. The statute and case law require that the correspondence disputes the servicing of the loan and requires the sender to provide the servicer specific facts that would enable the servicer to investigate and respond. For instance, a dispute may involve a misapplication of a payment or a miscalculation of a monthly escrow amount. The statement that you are concerned about what you may have heard on the news does not qualify as a dispute with the servicing of your loan. Consequently, we are not subject to the response requirements set forth in the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act.
In other cases–such as Citibank in my case–the bank appears to have simply let the 20-day deadline pass without a response.
Now, the genius of the WhereIsTheNote campaign is twofold. First, for the first time, someone is collecting an independent set of data about whether banks have a right to collect payment on the loan or not (there is privately available data, but it's very expensive). WhereIsTheNote has already recognized, for example, that Bank of America and its subsidiaries have adopted a uniform claim that RESPA doesn't apply in this case (of course, Bank of America is one of the most suspect banks for note problems). And WhereIsTheNote is collecting information that will show that not just those houses in foreclosure, but performing loans have note problems, proving that this is not an issue of "deadbeat" homeowners, but rather banks that are playing fast and loose with private property rights.
But more interesting is enforcement. As the section I cited above makes clear, borrowers whose banks refuse to respond to a RESPA request can sue for damages.
And as it happens, the Attorneys General in all 50 states are already investigating whether the banks are engaging in foreclosure fraud to cover up securitization problems. Which means there are already lawyers out there ready to take on the banks that do things–like refusing to respond to homeowner RESPA requests. WhereIsTheNote will be referring these RESPA non-responses to the AGs to respond accordingly.
If you haven't already done so, I encourage you to ask your servicer WhereIsTheNote. Because–on a day when all else seems hopeless–it may well be a means of holding the banks accountable for the shitpile they made of our nation.
I wanted to return to a detail I mentioned in yesterday's book salon. As I noted, in his book on the auto bailout, Steven Rattner described Citi as being worried during the Chrysler negotiations that retail customers would retaliate if Citi played hard ball.
Bankers for Goldman and Citi had advised [JP Morgan Chase VP and the Chrysler bondholder's lead negotiator] Jimmy Lee to make the best of a bad situation. Privately they felt his brinksmanship was embarrassing and potentially costly. Citi especially wanted to avoid a liquidation. Its analysis showed it would recover no more than 20 cents on the dollar in that instance. Citi also feared losing business in its branches in states like Michigan and Ohio where consumers might blame it for Chrysler's demise. (173)
That didn't make sense to me given that Citi doesn't have branches in MI and OH; the closest actual branches are in Chicago. Compare that to Chase, which just took over from Comerica as the biggest bank in MI by deposits and was presumably second at the time of the bailout negotiations. Citi should only fear retaliation from consumers elsewhere, in those urban areas that actually have Citi branches, or they should fear retaliation some other way, presumably through their credit card business. I asked Rattner why Citi was worried, but JP Morgan Chase was not, given its much greater involvement in the auto states. He responded, "Yes, they were definitely worried."
Frankly, I don't know what to make of this. Given the context of the claim–in which Goldman and Citi are portrayed as talking Jimmy Lee down from a hardass negotiating position–JPMC appears not to have been sufficiently worried to change its behavior. And the Citi claim doesn't make sense on its face. Perhaps Citi was worried about something else. Perhaps they were just more worried because they were insolvent? There are a few details he pretty clearly got wrong in his book (such as his claim that Nissan's consideration of a deal with Chrysler was secret), but this seems instead like one of the abundant examples of where Rattner is an unreliable narrator. Rattner chose to portray Citi as worried (and quickly agree the hard-bargaining JPMC was, too), but it's unclear whether that was really true or just nice spin on the banks.
What Rattner probably didn't know was that FDL was trying to increase this worry at the time by encouraging people to take their money out of Chase. That was a mostly unsuccessful effort (let me tell you, Chrysler is no more popular in this country than the big banks) to target the banksters for actions that hurt the communities they're in.
As unsuccessful as our effort was in terms of numbers, if Rattner-the-unreliable-narrator's claim has any basis in fact, then our effort to pressure JPMC to behave better worked. Sort of.
Since then, Arianna's Move Your Money campaign has more successfully advocated for people and institutions to move their money out of the big banks. By April, they claimed $5 billion had been moved. And it does seem like some of the banks are losing market share to smaller banks.
The largest banks in Michigan are losing market share and Chase Bank now has the most deposits in the state, according to new data released Thursday by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
As of June 30, the five biggest banks in Michigan — Chase Bank, Comerica Bank, PNC Bank, Bank of America and Fifth Third Bank — accounted for 55% of all deposits in the state. That's down from 57.3% on June 30, 2009.
I raise all this because of another interesting discussion about whether consumer action might more effectively target the banks. Via Yves Smith, I found this Playboy article on Edmundo Braverman's WallStreetOasis.com's proposal on How to Destroy a Bank (Yup, it appears you have to have a pierced navel and no pubic hair to be a Playboy model these days).
This article set forth a plan for how consumers could destroy one of America's four largest banks. Customers would deliver a series of escalating threats against Wells Fargo, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Citibank, demanding policy changes. The threats would culminate in a series of flash-mob bank runs that targeted one of the banks.
In a comment in Yves thread, Braverman acknowledged his idea was a thought exercise to take Move Your Money the next step.
The whole thing was inspired by Arianna Huffington's "Move Your Money" idea. I thought it was a good idea, but not one that would be dramatic enough to produce any changes in the way the banks did business. So I asked myself, "What would have an impact on the banks?" and that's when I came up with the Tank-A-Bank plan.
It was always just a thought exercise, and never something I advocated.
Yves seems to be thinking more about this; what can consumers do that won't get them jailed as terrorists but will get us to a point where the finance industry isn't dragging our country down even while stealing our money in the process?
Elizabeth Warren, presumably laying the foundation for an Administration deal with banks to not unwind the entire securitization paperwork problem in exchange for loan modifications, points to banks' voluntary foreclosure moratoria as proof the banksters are trying to solve this problem (presumably meaning the foreclosure fraud, but not the larger problems).
She additionally stated that major servicers' voluntary foreclosure freezes mean two things. First, this problem "is big, and it is serious," and second, the voluntary moratoria represent evidence that "the issuers themselves are trying to get this problem solved," she said.
But only three of the top five servicers have issued moratoria of any sort (and some of those are limited to judicial states). Citi (with 6.3% of the market) and Wells Fargo (with 16.9%) have not issued moratoria at all.
And yesterday, an FT story reported that contrary to Wells' claims, it too engages in foreclosure fraud.
In a sworn deposition on March 9 seen by the FT, Xee Moua, identified in court documents as a vice-president of loan documentation for Wells, said she signed as many as 500 foreclosure-related papers a day on behalf of the bank.
Ms Moua, who was deposed as part of a foreclosure lawsuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, said that the only information she verified was whether her name and title appeared correctly, according to the document.
Asked whether she checked the accuracy of the principal and interest that Wells claimed the borrower owed – a crucial step in banks' legal actions to repossess homes – Ms Moua said: "I do not."
Now, I'm all in favor of loan modifications. But Administration talk about deals for loan mods is far too early, not least because all the banks haven't issued moratoria (not to mention the fact that banks with moratoria seem to be continuing the foreclosures).The banks aren't yet ready to solve the problem.
One of Obama's signature traits is conceding on the most critical issues at the start of any negotiation, thereby preventing him from crafting a really useful deal. I fear the Administration is about to do the same with foreclosure fraud, too.
The other day, I noted that Administration claims that they were helpless to affect what they now depict as loan servicers' "sloppiness" but what really amounts to fraud ignores their decision to stop pushing for cramdown–and with it, leverage over the loan servicers.
I think (though I'm less sure of this) they're ignoring one other source of leverage they once had over the servicers: the stress tests.
First, remember that the top servicers also happen to be the biggest banks. Here is Reuters' list of the top loan servicers.
And here is the list the nineteen banks that had to undergo stress tests in 2009.
So all of the top mortgage servicers–Bank of America, Wells, JP Morgan Chase, Citi, and even GMAC–had to undergo a stress test last year to prove their viability before the government would allow them to repay TARP funds and therefore operate without that government leverage–which was threatened to include limits on executive pay, lobbying, and government oversight of major actions–over their business. Significantly, all but JPMC were found to require additional capital.
Now, I'm not sure what I make of this. The stress tests were no great analytical tool in the first place. Moreover, the stress tests focused on whether the banks could withstand loan defaults given worsening economic conditions, not whether they could withstand financial obligations incurred because their servicing business amounted to sloppiness fraud.
But in letters between Liz Warren (as head of the TARP oversight board) and Tim Geithner in January and February 2009 discussed foreclosure modification, stress tests, and accountability for the use of TARP funds (Geithner made very specific promises about foreclosure modifications and refinancing which Treasury has failed to meet). And those discussions–and the stress tests–took place as COP reported on the problems with servicer incentives, servicer staffing and oversight, and the lack of regulation of servicers more generally (the COP report came out March 6, 2009; the stress test results were announced May 7, 2009). So at the same time as the Administration was officially learning of problems with servicers, it was also giving those servicers' bank holding companies a dubious clean bill of health. And with it, beginning to let go of one of the biggest pieces of leverage the government had over those servicers.
Beyond that, I'm not sure what to think of any relationship between the stress tests and the servicer part of these banks' business. Rortybomb has an important post examining how this foreclosure crisis may go systemic. If it does, these same banks that eighteen months ago promised the government they could withstand whatever the market would bring will be claiming no one could have foreseen that they'd be held liable for their fraudulent servicing practices. Ideally, we would have identified this as a systemic risk eighteen months ago, and based on that refused to let the big servicers out of their obligations (which would have provided the needed incentive for the servicers not only to treat homeowners well, but to modify loans). Had the stress tests included a real look at these banks' servicing business, these banks might not have been declared healthy.
I have long maintained that we will eventually learn that Citibank took over where BCCI and then Riggs Bank left off: serving as a money laundering vehicle used by drug cartels and other organized crime, terrorists, and spooks. But this article (h/t scribe) on the role of big banks in laundering Mexican drug money reports that–while Citibank has been implicated in money laundering (but took the appropriate regulatory steps in response)–there are a number of other banks deeply implicated:
Most of these banks were implicated in Mexican legal filings. But in March, Wachovia entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement with the government that reveals some of the details behind its money laundering.
The DPA lays out the means by which Wachovia enabled money laundering as follows:
The DPA also describes how Wachovia helped telemarketers steal directly from victims' accounts–the subject of an unrelated lawsuit going back some years.
So here are two key details of this.
First, it appears that Wachovia deliberately got deeper into money-laundering for CDCs in 2005 even as the government issued more alerts about the way drug cartels were using CDCs.
As early as 2004, Wachovia understood the risk that was associated with doing business with the Mexican CDCs. Wachovia was aware of the general industry warnings. As early as July 2005, Wachovia was aware that other large U.S. banks were exiting the CDC business based on [anti-money laundering] concerns.
Despite these warnings, Wachovia remained in the business. And in September 2005, Wachovia purchased the right to solicit the international correspondent banking customers of Union Bank of California ("UBOC"). Wachovia knew that UBOC was exiting the CDC market due to AML problems. Wachovia hired at least one person from UBOC who had a significant role in the CDC business at UBOC. After UBOC exited the CDC business, Wachovia's business volume increased notably.
September 2005 was definitely before most people realized the giant shitpile–of which Wachovia held more than its fair share–was going to explode. But Wachovia was already deep into it.
So $373 billion in wire services (some of which were surely legal), $4 billion in bulk cash services, and some portion of $47 billion in digital pouch services (again, some of which is surely legal and may pertain to remittances). Compare those numbers to the $40 to $60 billion or so in Wachovia subprime losses Wells Fargo ate when it took over Wachovia. Was Wachovia laundering money for drug cartels because it was so badly exposed in mortgage-backed securities, or was it so heavily involved in products that could be used for money laundering just for fun?
Now, for all of this, DOJ made Wells Fargo pay $160 million: $50 million that is an outright fine, and $110 million for what DOJ said it had identified as clear drug proceeds laundered through Wachovia. Now, granted, DOJ is fining Wells Fargo (beneficiary of huge amounts of free money from the Fed in recent years and the recipient of huge tax deductions for taking over Wachovia), not Wachovia. And granted, this was the largest fine ever for money laundering. But as the Bloomberg story notes, that's less than 2% of Wells Fargo's profits last year. And isn't even as much as Wachovia got in deposits–$418 million–from the fraudulent telemarketing scheme.
Then there's the bigger question. Who else was using these vehicles? Banks that enable this kind of money laundering tend to be indiscriminate about their client base. And as I noted when I started this post, money laundering for drug cartels tends to go hand in hand with money laundering for other organized crime, terrorists, and spooks. Given the scale of what Wachovia was doing, where are the other busts?
And while we're looking for those other busts, note that the investigation of Wachovia started in May 2007, 17 months before the government brokered the Wells Fargo takeover. Is there any chance that Treasury, which would have been involved in this, was unaware of the massive amounts of money laundering Wachovia had been engaged in when they brokered that deal? Recall, too, the weirdness over the competition between Citi and Wells Fargo for the privilege of taking on the Wachovia shitpile. The Federal government was at one point prepared to take on a portion of Wachovia's shitpile to allow Citi to take over the bank for a dollar a share. And when Citi CEO Vikram Pandit lost out on the deal, Andrew Ross Sorkin reported in Too Big to Fail, he told Sheila Bair, that "This isn't just about Citi … There are other issues we need to consider. I need to speak to you privately. … This is not right. It's not right for the country. It's just not right!"
I don't want to get too tinfoil about this. But it strikes me that the efforts to keep Wall Street and all its celebrated creativity intact serves to make it easier for banks like Wachovia to engage in widespread money-laundering. That is, it's not just shadow banking as it is politely understood, but banking for entire shadow networks, both our own and our enemies.

EN-EL3 battery recall
See this post in the D70 forum -
Youre advised to stop using affected EN-EL3 batteries in the affected batches immediately.
#1. "RE: EN-EL3 battery recall" | In response to Reply # 0Shred Registered since 28th Oct 2005Tue 08-Nov-05 01:33 PM
Quite different explanation than in Nikon Finland site,
here they told that some batteries may overheat during charge
and because of that all the possibly defected batteries are changed for free.
I never noticed that battery overheated or even heated when charging
but my battery batch is in the list so maybe i should return it.
I wonder if the low capacity issues some have complained are due to defect batteries...
#2. "RE: EN-EL3 battery recall" | In response to Reply # 1MINGZNIKONIAN Registered since 28th Oct 2005Tue 08-Nov-05 02:34 PM
Thatz a lot of batteries they need to replace... poor Nikon~
Anyways, how do I get mine replace when i am from Canada. Don't see any advisory yet on the Canadian website...
and my camera is bought in Hong Kong, I wonder if they would do it for me~~

David Quinn: Packed Mass shows what the church must do: turn believers into belongers
Published 27/12/2013 | 02:30
The church I rock up to for Mass each week is the same one I've been going to since childhood, bar an eight-year hiatus mostly spent out of the country.
As a child, the church was pretty much packed for Mass almost every Sunday. If you were a bit late you had to squeeze into one of the pews to get a seat or stand at the back.
Then the numbers started to dwindle, especially from the 1980s and continuing into the 1990s. Notably, the decline was well under way even before we knew a thing about the scandals.
Once the 2000s came around, the decline tapered off and for most weeks, apart from the summer months, the church was still half to two-thirds full for 12.30 Mass. It seems to have been that way for a few years now, although the average age of Mass-goers is, oh I don't know, probably around the average age of members of political parties: that is to say, north of 60.
But there are two days in the year when it's the 1970s all over again. The church fills up, the average age of Mass-goers plunges and families and children are everywhere. Those days are Easter Sunday, and of course Christmas Day.
This Christmas, as usual, the seats were filled well before the start of Mass, the back of the church was full, the side-aisles were packed and there were even people up the main aisle.
What brings people to Mass on Christmas Day above all days that doesn't bring them in for the rest of the year? Why do they bother and why don't the numbers who come on Christmas Day seem to diminish even though we are becoming more secular all the time?
It's because there remains a very big category of people who full under the heading 'Believing Without Belonging'.
These are the people who rarely come to church anymore. On Sunday mornings, they might be having a lie-on in bed after a busy week. Or they are bringing their children to sports. Or they're going shopping later, or they simply want to stay in and read the papers.
Many of those who 'Believe Without Belonging' (the BWBs) aren't even sure quite what they believe. Certainly there are plenty of the moral teachings of the church they don't believe in, especially the ones having to do with sex and relationships. A fair number of those who both believe and belong don't believe in them either, to a greater or less extent.
The BWBs probably also wonder exactly how much of the Gospel story is true. They like Jesus, that's for sure. But was he really God Incarnate? Was his mother a virgin?
The BWBs are also angry at the church, or more accurately its leadership, over its past authoritarianism, its heavy-handedness, and of course because of the scandals.
But those who believe and belong are also angry at the church over these things and keep turning up every Sunday in any case. In fact, it would be very interesting to survey these people and find out why they never stopped going despite everything.
Is it out of pure habit, or is it because they can distinguish between their faith and the institution? Is it because they believe that Christianity is also a community and they want to worship God as part of a community?
The BWBs obviously have a much more individualistic approach to matters than this. The communal aspects of religion don't matter so much to them, or maybe they get their need to belong to a community fulfilled elsewhere, by belonging to a sports club for example.
The BWBs, in fact, are a bit like floating voters, or those who buy a newspaper now and then or have no settled title that they buy.
Faced with the BWBs, the problem the church has to solve is the same one that political parties and newspapers have to solve: that is, how do they turn an occasional voter, newspaper buyer or Mass-goer into a regular one?
If you asked a BWB why they come to Mass on Christmas Day, they would probably say it seems the kind of thing you should do at that time of year.
They would probably say they like to hear Christmas carols well sung. They would probably say they like the atmosphere, and it's true that Mass at Christmas time, especially the Midnight Mass, does have a special atmosphere.
They would probably say that even if they don't know exactly how much of it is true, they love the Christmas story. The Christmas story does seem to go to a very deep part of our psyche, like all the best myths do, although that word is extremely misleading because a myth isn't necessarily false. A myth by one definition is a meaning-laden story that might well be true.
CS Lewis, most famous as the author of 'The Chronicles of Narnia', believed Christianity was a myth that happened to be true. This is what helped lead him to Christianity from his previous atheism.
The power of the Christmas story is ultimately what fills up the churches on Christmas Day every year, and more than any other day of the year it presents parishes with a chance to turn a few of those 'believers not belongers' into believers who belong and might even come back next Sunday as well.

A team of researchers at Princeton University's Materials Research Science and Engineering Center has observed electrons moving through a crystal of bismuth metal behaving like light.
This discovery, supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and detailed in today's edition of the journal Science, could lead to new kinds of electronic devices.
Electrons, or the particles of electricity, fly through space like tiny baseballs. Alternatively, when an electron speeds between a crystal's periodic arrangement of atoms it behaves very differently. The fundamental equations that describe its motion in the crystal are very different from those of a free-flying baseball. For example, in bismuth, the fundamental equations of electron motion resemble those that describe the behavior of light. Although the electrons whirl about the crystal slower than at the speed of light, the electrons behave as if they are without mass like photons, the tiniest unit of light.
Over a decade ago, theoretical physicists supported by NSF studied electrons confined to artificial layered structures made of semiconductors--the stuff of which transistors are made of. They predicted that new kinds of electronic matter governed by the rules of quantum mechanics would emerge from the electrons in different layers coordinating their motions. Scientists hypothesized that bismuth crystals should also exhibit analogous electronic states.
The Princeton group, led by physics professor N. Phuan Ong, fixed a crystal of bismuth onto a flexing beam, or cantilever, and then placed this apparatus in a high magnetic field created at the NSF National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, which can generate magnetic fields that are more than a million times stronger than the earth's faint magnetic field.
Under such enormous magnetic fields, the cantilever twists. The way it twists tells the Princeton researchers about the subtle new kind of matter in the bismuth crystal.
In a single crystal of bismuth, electrons are often confined to three valleys in a complex abstract landscape that scientists use to represent an electron's energy in the crystalline structure. Through careful study of the twisting cantilever, they observed a transformation from a state where the electrons prefer to occupy only one valley to a state in which the electrons share their time among all the valleys in a dance choreographed by the fundamental rules of quantum mechanics.
"This is exciting because this was predicted but never shown before, and it may eventually lead to new paradigms in computing and electronics,"said Thomas Rieker, NSF program director for materials research center.
With this work, the theory of electrodynamics suggests a rich landscape of electronic states of semiconductors, and the Princeton researchers are continuing their adventure. Someday, these newly discovered electronic states of matter may enable powerful new electronic devices that exploit the principles of quantum mechanics to compute and communicate. For now we can marvel at the subtle beauty of nature that lives in a universe of electrons that lies beneath the shiny skin of a metal crystal.
This torque cantilever is used to measure magnetic property of bismuth in intense magnetic fields. The bismuth crystal (5.6 mm tall vertical pillar) is glued to the end of a thin cantilever beam made of gold. Deflections of the cantilever in a field are detected by measuring changes in capacitance. (Credit: N. Phuan Ong, Princeton University)

Do you understand the definition of the word predicted? Judging by your comment, it is evident that you do not. Your comment appears too imply that your book predicted the particular event that this video is covering. However, the passage you quote has nothing to do with anything, much less this thread.
