White Lies and Guilty Pleas
Read More.
What is fraud anyway?
Today is the oral argument in Jesse Litvak's appeal of his fraud conviction for lying about how much he paid for some mortgage bonds, which a lot of people are watching with great interest:
Long-acceptable trading tactics—pretending to have paid more for a bond than one had, for example, or embellishing how many potential buyers may be interested in a particular security—have become potential criminal offenses.
"The fact that he [was convicted] for doing what appears to have been fairly widespread really shook the industry," said Lee Richards, a partner at white-collar defense law firm Richards, Kibbe & Orbe LLP and a former federal prosecutor. He added that some traders "had come to believe that everyone in the business told white lies."
If his conviction is overturned -- and he has reason for optimism -- then there will be broader consequences:
Matthew Katke, a former Royal Bank of Scotland trader, pleaded guilty to committing securities fraud last month. But in an unusual agreement, Mr. Katke can withdraw his plea if Mr. Litvak's appeal finds that he didn't commit securities fraud.
Katke is cooperating with prosecutors in a continuing investigation, so if Litvak's conviction is reversed, then Katke's plea goes away, and so presumably does that investigation. So a lot of people have a stake in Litvak's outcome. Meanwhile banks are assuming that his conviction is for real and trying to keep themselves out of trouble. For instance:
Goldman is developing new policies on traders' communications, including limits on what they can say about their past trades, according to a person familiar with the matter.
"The best practice would be to be truthful, or not to say anything at all, especially in writing these conversations in instant messages," said Elizabeth Baird, a partner at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP and a one-time bond trader.
The idea here seems to be that Litvak would tell a customer that he'd bought a bond at 102 and sell it at 102.25, when really he'd bought it at 100. The response from other banks is not to tell the customer the truth about what they paid for the bonds -- which would limit their ability to charge more -- but rather to try not to tell the customer anything at all about it. It can't be fraud if you don't say anything. Or at least if you don't write it down.
Elsewhere, here is Andrew Ceresney, the Securities and Exchange Commission's director of enforcement, on the SEC's litigation successes and challenges. And here's an SEC fraud case against ITT Educational Services, for concealing "the poor performance and looming financial impact of two student loan programs that ITT financially guaranteed."
Happy FX guilty plea day.
Speaking of fraud, today is the day that all the big banks are expected to admit that they conspired to manipulate foreign-exchange fixing, a semiannual tradition that last took place in November. In a bizarre throwback to an earlier tradition, UBS's admission to FX manipulation will consist of a guilty plea to Libor manipulation: UBS had a non-prosecution agreement with the Justice Department over Libor, which required it to keep its nose clean, and now that its nose was found in some FX-rigging chat rooms, all bets are off. Except that it may not actually be pleading guilty to the FX thing?
"This is basically a trade off," said Andreas Venditti, an analyst at Vontobel Holding AG in Zurich. "They get leniency on foreign exchange and a lower fine and instead the Justice Department comes back with Libor."
UBS's cooperation in the currency probe may help shield it from antitrust charges in that matter.
So the punishment for being a repeat offender is that you get punished for your old offense but get leniency on your new one? I mean, okay, fine. All of this seems like accounting, not substance. The substance is: You manipulated some whatever, and now you write the government a big check. The meaningless accounting is whether the check is stapled to a non-prosecution agreement or a civil settlement or an FX-rigging guilty plea or a Libor-rigging guilty plea. A lot of people seem to put a lot of energy into debating those nuances but I just cannot see how they matter.
Verizon Online.
"You can easily save information from America Online on your hard disk, and there are more than 50,000 computer programs you can download -- that is, transfer from America Online's computers to your own -- at no extra charge," wrote Walt Mossberg in 1992, and for all I know that is still true? I suspect that there's an element of nostalgia to yesterday's voluminous coverage of Verizon's agreement to purchase a mid-size ad-tech company. Or more than suspect; here is a Vox article titled "In memoriam: AOL CDs, history's greatest junk mail." You always have a soft spot in your heart for your first Internet service provider.
Is it a good deal? Tara Lachapelle points out that, at a 24 percent premium to AOL's 20-day average trading price and at an enterprise value of just 11 times Ebitda, the deal looks cheap. AOL's stock is trading above the offer price, suggesting that shareholders are hoping for more. She doesn't think they'll get it, though, since no one else seems particularly interested in buying AOL. Maureen Farrell agrees that "the roster of suitors who would view AOL as a must-have asset isn't long." And Stephen Gandel argues that Verizon "is actually paying through the nose for AOL," since a lot of AOL's earnings come from dial-up subscribers, which can't be viable forever.
Besides dial-up, Verizon is getting The Huffington Post, but people seem to think that that's going on the block. The real draw is ad tech. As AdAge explains it:
The digital advertising industry (and some might say, the entire advertising industry) is on the fast path to automation. Scores of companies have emerged to help automate different parts of the ad buy -- the buying, the selling, the targeting, the attribution, etc. -- and AOL owns a piece of tech for just about every step of the way. For a while, everything seemed peachy in the desktop-focused ad-tech world, but then media consumption moved quickly to mobile, where targeting cookies don't work effectively, and the system essentially broke.
Verizon, acquirer of AOL, owns the key to fixing this problem: concrete mobile data which can be used to tie user identity across devices.
Here is Farhad Manjoo on the combination of AOL's advertising technology and Verizon's mobile customer data, and Awl publisher Michael Macher on programmatic ads and video ads and the Lumascape. Here is "Verizon-AOL: A War of All Against All." And what will happen to Shingy?
Elsewhere in tech nostalgia, "The auction for bankrupt electronic retailer RadioShack's name and customer data resumed Tuesday with bidding at $15 million."
Door revolves.
I think I've said this before, but the tech industry won't become the financial industry just because some big tech companies hire some bankers to be their chief financial officers. The tech industry will become the financial industry when big tech companies start hiring former senior federal regulators to help entrench their incumbency advantages. Anyway, "Facebook Inc. hired former Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin to manage the social network's mobile and global access policy from Washington."
The Shelby bill.
Speaking of which, I guess, yesterday Senator Richard Shelby introduced a new bill "to ease regulatory restrictions on smaller banks and increase scrutiny of the Federal Reserve." Here's a summary of the regulatory-relief provisions, which include raising the "systemically important" threshold from $50 billion to $500 billion of assets and designating "the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council as an ombudsman charged with receiving and investigating complaints about bank examiners," I guess from the banks? And here's Jon Hilsenrath on the Fed oversight provisions, which "look mild at first glance":
There are no "Audit the Fed" provisions opening Fed monetary policy decisions to scrutiny from the Government Accountability Office; no provisions requiring the Fed to adhere to a mathematical rule to guide interest rate decisions, such as the "Taylor Rule," which prescribes an interest rate based on the performances of inflation and economic output; no new restrictions on emergency lending powers prescribed in section 13 (3) of the Federal Reserve Act; no major revamp of the Fed's 12 regional banks.
Meanwhile, "FDIC Chief Martin Gruenberg: Big Bank Failure Won't Imperil System," but that's just what you'd expect him to say.
Robin Hood.
Here is an article about last night's Robin Hood gala, "Wall Street's biggest annual philanthropic gathering," which raised $101 million and featured Paul McCartney and some jokes and some blather ("we're going to come together, we're going to achieve the highest, most noble aspirations of humanity") and some "satellite gatherings at Lavo and the Gallery at Dream Downtown" if you couldn't get into the main party at the Javits Center. The article includes a picture of Lloyd Blankfein smiling with Jamie Hector, the actor perhaps best known for playing Marlo Stanfield on "The Wire," which I am going to get blown up and hang in my living room. The game is the game.
Death and the dad-bros.
Linette Lopez went to SALT:
There are ways to cheat death. Blackstone founder Steve Schwarzman has been on a tear putting his name on building after building, making himself immortal. He just donated $150 million to put his name on a building at his alma mater, Yale. There's also Blackstone Tower in Chicago and the Schwarzman Building at the New York Public Library, to name two. Hopefully, Schwarzman now fears death less than someone who has simply donated a park bench to Rutgers.
SALT attendees were reminded of this fear mid-lecture. During the third day's session, a number of star hedge-fund managers were giving out stock picks. Just as billionaire investor Leon Cooperman was clearing his throat and getting ready to dive in, there was a sound. An indescribable sound. The sound of someone stopping in midway through a loud, guttural cry.
And then there was a thud.
"Should I continue," Cooperman asked as the crowd hushed. To SALT's credit, the man was scooped up in no time. Anthony Scaramucci, the conference's chairman and CEO of its host investment firm SkyBridge Capital, came out to calm the crowd and get the session back on track. Time was put back on the clock.
The session continued after 15 minutes of shock. Afterward, we heard that the man who had collapsed had had a seizure; worst yet, we heard he was young. In his 30s. Not even a dad-bro. A dad-bro-to-be.
Things happen.

The left-back put in a committed shift down his flank at the Etihad, throwing himself in the way of Raheem Sterling's first-half volley, seeing his own drive blocked by Pablo Zabaleta at the other end and winning the penalty that saw Harry Kane fire us ahead.
After Kelechi Iheanacho restored parity, Erik Lamela stepped off the bench and set up Christian Eriksen to complete a memorable 2-1 win, with Danny hailing the impact of our Argentine international substitute after what he described as "a massive win."
"This result shows that we've got great character, great mentality, our morale is superb and we've got a great manager," said the 25-year-old.
"We're not scared of anyone and we've shown that. People are waiting for us to slip up somewhere and across the last two times we've come here we've conceded 10 goals, but we came here to play and have got a deserved three points.
"As for me, I don't think I had a better game than anyone else – we started the match well and the subs had a great impact in the second half.
"I remember we lost 2-1 at home to Newcastle earlier in the season when their subs came on and won the game and we said that once our subs come on in any match we want them to do the same. Coco (Erik Lamela) has come on and done that today. He went on a great run, played a perfect through ball to Christian and he's slotted it in on his birthday – it's a great birthday present for him!
"It was Harry Winks' birthday when we played Norwich away and we sung happy birthday to him on the way back, so we'll do the same for Christian!"
Returning to a subject he touched on earlier, Danny feels like he's thriving under the tutelage of Head Coach Mauricio Pochettino.
"He's instilled a great work ethic – one that I've not experienced from any other manager," added the flying full-back. "He wants you to work very hard in training and if you don't then he'll let you know!
"Once you work hard Monday to Friday then it will happen naturally in the game as it has today.
"Everything starts from training, everything on the pitch comes from training and how well we work.
"It's a massive three points for us today. We've got three more games before we play in the league again but long may this run continue."
22 September 2016
We are delighted to announce that Danny Rose has signed a new contract with the Club which will run until 2021.
2 September 2016
Mauricio Pochettino has been true to the words he spoke to Danny Rose in the summer of 2014 – two years on, the flying full-back is turning those words into reality.

Essentials of Mechatronics by John Billingsley
Book DescriptionLearn how to study, analyze, select, and design a successful mechatronic product This innovative, cutting-edge publication presents the essential nature of mechatronics, a field at the crossroads of information technology and mechanical and electrical engineering. Readers learn how to blend mechanisms, electronics, sensors, control strategies, and software into a functional design. Given the breadth that the field of mechatronics draws upon, this publication provides a critical service to readers by paring down the topics to the most essential ones. A common thread throughout the publication is tailoring performance to the actual needs of the user, rather than designing "by the book." Practical methods clarify engineering trade-offs needed to design and manufacture competitive state-of-the-art products and systems. Key features include: Easy-to-construct set of laboratory experiments to give readers practice in controlling difficult systems using discrete-time algorithms Essentials of control theory, concentrating on state-space and easily constructed simulations in JavaScript, including typical mechatronic systems with gross nonlinearities where linear methods give the "wrong answer" Hot topics that include advances in the automotive, multimedia, robotics, defense, medical, and consumer industries Author-provided Web site at www.EssMech.com offers additional resources, including videos, dynamic simulation examples, software tools, and downloads There are hundreds of choices involved in all but the simplest of mechatronic design tasks. Using this publication as a reference, electrical, mechanical, and computer designers and engineers can find the most efficient, cost-effective methods to transform their goals into successful commercial products. With its use of laboratory experiments, this publication is also recommended as a graduate-level textbook. Author Web site located at www.EssMech.com provides in-depth support material that includes links to simulations for modeling dynamic systems with real-time interactions, image processing examples, and 3D robot modeling software, enabling readers to "construct" and manipulate their own mechanism as well as other useful links.

Effects of ginsenosides on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal function and brain-derived neurotrophic factor in rats exposed to chronic unpredictable mild stress

Gingseng is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine community for the treatment of depression-like disorders. Ginsenosides is considered to be the major active components of ginseng. Previous studies have demonstrated that ginsenosides produced antidepressant-like action in various mouse models of behavioral despair. The present study aimed to examine whether ginsenosides could affect the chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced depression in rats. The mechanism(s) underlying the antidepressant-like action was investigated by measuring serum corticosterone level, glucocorticoid receptor (GR), mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) mRNA levels in brain tissues. CUMS, being lasted for 6 weeks, caused depression-like behavior in rats, as indicated by the significant decrease in sucrose consumption and increase in immobility time in the forced swim test. Whereas serum corticosterone level was significantly increased in rats exposed to CUMS, expressions of GR mRNA in hippocampus, and BDNF mRNA in hippocampus and frontal cortex, were decreased in CUMS-treated rats. Daily intragastric administration of ginsenosides (12.5, 25, 50 mg · kg-1) during the six weeks of CUMS significantly suppressed behavioral and biochemical changes induced by CUMS. However, there was no significant difference in MR mRNA level among groups. The results suggest that the antidepressant-like action of ginsenosides is likely mediated by modulating the function of hypothalamic- pituitary -adrenal axis and increasing the expression of BDNF in brain tissues.

This report describes the use of surfactant-coated graphitized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (SC-GMWNTs) as a novel pseudostationary phase in CE with diode array detection for the determination of phenolic acids and tanshinones in herbal and urine samples. Several parameters influencing the separation were studied, such as the concentrations of SDS, GMWNTs, and isopropanol; choice of carbon nanotubes; sodium borate content; and buffer pH. The results revealed that the presence of SC-GMWNTs in buffer enhanced the separation efficiency for the target analytes relative to conventional micelles due to the strong interaction between the surface of the GMWNTs and the target compounds. Under the optimum conditions, the method showed good linearity, with correlation coefficients higher than 0.9950. LODs were in the range of 0.71-3.10 μg/mL. Furthermore, satisfactory separations were achieved with good recovery values in the range of 89.97 and 103.30% when 10 mM borate, 30 mM SDS, 10% isopropanol, and 6 μg/mL SC-GMWNTs were introduced into the buffer solution. © 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

An ionic liquid (IL)-based one-step micellar extraction procedure was developed for the extraction of multiclass polar analytes (protocatechuic acid, chlorogenic acid, epicatechin, hyperoside, isoquercitrin, quercetin) from hawthorn fruits and their determination using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF/MS). Compared to conventional organic solvent extractions, this newly proposed method was much easier, more sensitive, environmentally friendly, and effective as well. Several important parameters influencing the micellar extraction efficiency are discussed, such as selection of ILs, surfactant concentration, and extraction time. Under the optimal conditions, good linearity was achieved for each analyte with correlation coefficients (r2) ranging from 0.9934 to 0.9999, and the recovery values ranged from 89.3 to 106% with relative standard deviations lower than 5.5%. Results suggest that the IL-based one-step micellar extraction could be an alternative and promising means in future food analysis. © 2014 American Chemical Society. Source

This report describes the use of trace-chitosan-wrapped multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CS-MWCNTs) as a sorbent material in dispersive micro solid-phase extraction (DMSPE), which was combined with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry to analyze phenolic compounds in chrysanthemum tea and a chrysanthemum beverage. In this study, for the first time, CS-MWCNTs were used as a sorbent for this microextraction mode. Moreover, the proposed method exhibits the advantages of simplicity, rapidity, small sample amount and ease of operation. Furthermore, all of the important parameters that affect the extraction efficiency, such as the sorbent, pH, extraction time and type of elution solvent, were investigated and optimized in the DMSPE. Under the optimized extraction condition, the limit of detection, which was calculated based on a signal-to-noise ratio of 3, was 0.22-16.19ngmL-1. Satisfactory recovery values of 89-106% were obtained for the tested samples. The results show that the developed method was successfully applied to determine the content of chlorogenic acid and flavonoids in complex chrysanthemum samples. © 2015 Elsevier B.V. Source
[Clinical value of noninvasive intermittent positive-pressure ventilation in pneumoconiosis combined with respiratory failure].

To evaluate the value of noninvasive intermittent positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV) in treatment of patients with pneumoconiosis combined with respiratory failure. Three were 46 inpatients with pneumoconiosis combined with respiratory failure. Twenty-six inpatients treated with conventional therapy and NIPPV were categorized as treatment group; Twenty inpatients just treated by conventional therapy served as control group. Compared with the changes of HR, RR and arterial blood gas index (PH, PaCO2, PaO2) in two groups after treatment. The effective ratio of treatment group was 88.5%, control group was 60%, which had significant difference (P < 0.05); The HR in treatment group after treatment was (95.38 +/- 10.75) beats per minute, control group was [(103.00 +/- 12.56) beats per minute; The RR in treatment group was (21.69 +/- 1.37) breaths per minute, control group was [(22.60 +/- 1.57) breaths per minute]; The PaCO2 in treatment group was (52.88 +/- 10.75)mm Hg, control group was [(59.66 +/- 11.49)mm Hg]; All of those were significantly decreased than those in control group (P < 0.05). The PaO2 in treatment group was (100.77 +/- 25.3) mm Hg, control group was [(71.82 +/- 17.94) mmHg]; Compared with the control group, PaO2 in the treatment group increased significantly (P < 0.05). NIPPV is beneficial to pneumoconiosis combined with respiratory failure in different degrees. Source

Tiwi people
Australia 1905 – 1979
[Bark painting with coral pattern (#5)] 1974
Place made:
Paru, Melville Island, Northern Territory, Australia
Materials & Technique: paintings, bark paintings, natural earth pigments on eucalyptus bark
Nellie Wanterapila lived at the small settlement of Paru on Melville Island adjacent to the Bathurst Island mission. The residents were referred to in their day as the 'Paru pagans' because they preferred to live a traditional style of life away from the Catholic mission's influence.[1] As a result their paintings, like Wanterapila's Coral, retained the bold, graphic directness of earlier Tiwi art in contrast to the increasingly elaborate patterns and figuration used by the younger artists on Bathurst Island, especially at Tiwi Design. Diana Wood Conroy, the coordinator at Tiwi Design in 1974, was particularly interested in what she describes as the vivid abstract designs painted by Wanterapila and her lesser-known fellow painters Alice Wamba and Maudie Kerinauia (c 1899–1984) among others.[2] As part of her job she undertook regular buying trips to Paru and subsequently acquired Wanterapila's Coral, which was later adapted for a popular repeat textile pattern at Tiwi Design.[3]
Wanterapila and her fellow Paru artists often painted coral in their own distinctive ways, with circular icons depicting the reefs that surround their island home. In Coral she uses the bright yellow and white ochre obtained from a special source at Imilu to create shimmering irregular shapes against a stark background of black. The artist gives no further interpretation for her painting, although it was not uncommon for seemingly ordinary items to also have ancestral references. A number of Tiwi artists from this time depicted coral motifs to symbolise the drowning of the ancestor Purrukuparli in the seas off south-east Melville Island.

Understanding how extreme events in 2012 were influenced—or not—by human-caused climate change
Drought status in the contiguous United States on May 14, 2013.
The November nationally averaged precipitation total of 1.19 inches was nearly an inch below the long-term average, making this the eighth driest November on record.
It's a discouraging fact that drought reinforces drought, especially in the summer. The Southern Plains were in the tight grip of that feedback loop in August 2012.
Since the beginning of 2012, the contiguous United States has been experiencing drier than average conditions. This lack of precipitation is affecting water availability for agriculture and municipal use, as well as increasing concerns about soil quality and wildfires.

There are many products designed to mask foot odor, but the real causes of foot odor are bacteria and wetness. Wear shoes that allow your skin to breathe and wear cotton socks to help wick sweat away from your feet and keep them dry. Add this simple trick to help keep your feet clean, free of bacteria and smelling fresh all day long.
Things You'll Need
- Soap
- Towel
- Hand sanitizer
- Moisturizing lotion
Wash your feet with soap or body wash. This is obvious, but important. A moisturizing antibacterial soap works well.
Dry your feet thoroughly with a towel. Use the towel to dry in between your toes.
Apply hand sanitizer to every part of your foot, including between the toes. Repeat with other foot. Let dry.
Follow up with lotion when the hand sanitizer is completely dry. You need to moisturize after using the hand sanitizer, because the alcohol in it will dry out your skin.
Tips & Warnings
- Don't use any product that irritates your skin.

text: Did you know that President Obama is responsible for the loss of more U.S. jobs than any other person? Did you know that Sen. John F. Kerry and his wife are three to four times as rich as Mitt and Ann Romney, according to the New York Times, yet paid a lower tax rate than the Romneys in 2003, the year before Mr. Kerry ran for president? Do you know how to lower your tax rate? Read on. Mr. Romney is being criticized in the mainstream media for having paid just about 14 percent of his income in federal income taxes and having some of his money in places like Switzerland and Cayman (even though he appears to have paid all of the taxes on interest and dividends that were due to the United States). Yet, eight years ago, when the far richer Mr. Kerry and his wife paid a slightly lower tax rate and also had their money dispersed globally, as sensible rich people do, they were lauded by many of the same folks who are now in a tizzy about Mr. Romney's finances. Note: Mr. Kerry's wife inherited her money, while Mr. Romney earned his by building real businesses. Rich people usually employ others to manage their money. Presidents and presidential candidates put their money in blind trusts, as have Mr. Romney and Mr. Obama. When people hire money managers, they expect them to make the highest after-tax returns commensurate with the level of safety those people desire, and the managers have a fiduciary responsibility to do so. Diversification, by type of investment (stock, bonds and real estate) and by geography, is considered prudent financial management. Richard W. Rahn is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute and chairman of the Institute for Global Economic Growth. More by Richard W. Rahn Mr. Romney's opponents are asking why anyone needs a Swiss bank account (except for the rich Democrats who have them) http://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/democrats-hypocrisy-rich

it. I dated a Schwabian girl in Istanbul (yes, we're back there again) for

arrived at the church, the courtyard of which looked very similar. I was

Nila, god no!!! I am not TTC : freakingout:
I'd rather a hole in my head!!! I can see why you thought it though. I had the sad face as I'm sick to death of bleeding all the time. It feels like I've bled pretty much the whole last 10 weeks!!
Choccie: I hope Axle farting means this formula is good for him.
Maybee: sorry you have cracked nipple again :-( breastfeeding is so hard.
Nila: can't believe the twins are a month old already. Going so fast isn't it.
FTM: bleeding sucks! Are you not going back for another bub or just not yet?

Sage: how are you going?
Eko: hope you are doing well.
Will update the list today I hope. We are doing ok. River is very unsettled between 10pm and 1am so getting a bit tired.

Ftm haha...I can't believe you have bled for the past 10 weeks...my bleeding has slowed right down but I'm sure it will pick up and wih a vengeance caus before I was pregnant my period were heavy, painful and lasted up to 10days of heavy bleeding!!
Toni yes the time is going much after then what I would have liked the only bonus is that they were born small so they are still small
FTM - quick question, do you make your formula as you go? I have always made 6 bottles ready to go in the morning but with this formula being so thick I'm wondering if its not as thick if only made just before etc
Sounds like a much better day for you Nila. You are a super mum!!
Just testing App. Husband fixed it...I am techno-spaz.

HelenKay!! Welcome to GLIAS (again) Avon sis. I loved your Q&A -- especially that you might maybe forget the pets when you're reading and that Benedict Cumberbatch wins (Cumber-b's vs. Pinenuts).

48 of 50 states enjoy economic growth
It turns out that the optimists were right. The U.S. economy did expand substantially in 2010 -- and no state was more successful than North Dakota.
New figures from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis indicate that 48 of the 50 states enjoyed economic growth last year.
North Dakota registered the sharpest increase in gross state product (GSP), an annual measure of the total output of goods and services. Its GSP soared 7.1 percent last year.
New York was next with an increase of 5.1 percent, pushing its gross state product slightly above $1 trillion for the year. New York joined California ($1.73 trillion) and Texas ($1.11 trillion) as the only states with trillion-dollar economies.
The database at the bottom of this story has the latest GSPs for all 50 states. Figures for 2009 and 2010 have been adjusted to 2005 levels, which allows for direct comparisons without the misleading impact of inflation.
Fourteen states experienced economic growth of 3 percent or more between 2009 and 2010. The typical state posted a GSP increase of 2.6 percent.
The only states to decline in 2010 were Nevada and Wyoming, which were down 0.2 percent and 0.3 percent, respectively.
The next four editions of On Numbers (Tuesday through Friday) will take a much closer look at this new GSP data, determining which sectors were responsible for the upswings (or drops) in each state. Tomorrow's focus will be on the Eastern states, followed by the South, Midwest and West.

How To Make Biltong....
Biltong Drying....
What is Biltong?....
Biltong is a South African snack that is made by coating raw beef, game or ostrich in spices and hanging it up until it has dried. Back in the 17th century Dutch settlers started turning their meat into biltong by curing it with vinegar and spices to help preserve their meat in the African heat. These days South Africans still enjoy their biltong, although it is becoming a bit of a luxury due to the rising prices of meat. Most butchers in South Africa make their own biltong using their own secret blend of spices, so it quite normal to see raw meat hanging out to dry in the back of butchers shops.
When I first saw biltong hanging out to dry, I must admit that the thought of eating a piece of raw dried meat turned my stomach, after all what kept the flies from crawling all over it?
Being someone who tries to keep an open mind about things and never likes to be accused of not trying new things, I felt that I had no choice but to taste some biltong. The fact that I was told that not only do the spices add taste to the meat, but they also serve in keeping the flies away, which made sense to me, certainly helped. Once I'd tried it I was hooked, it makes my mouth water just writing this hub!!
It is so tasty and so typically South African that when we left South Africa to live in Greece it was one of the things we missed, my husband is South African and likes nothing more than an ice cold beer and some biltong....
Biltong dried and ready to eat....
Could we make our own biltong?We wondered....
The answer was YES!!!....
After doing some research online, we found that we could easily make our own biltong. I can't say that I didn't worry about getting it wrong and ending up poisoning anyone who tried a piece of our biltong. I need not have worried, we lost one batch when we underestimated the winter damp in the shed and the meat went mouldy, but other than that we have enjoyed eating and sharing our own homemade, rather tasty biltong.
A picture guide to making biltong....Click thumbnail to view full-size
How we make our biltong....
What you need to make your biltong....
- Biltong drying box.
- Stainless steel eat hooks.
- Beef, cut into long strips along the grain of the meat strips - biltong can also be made using game and ostrich meat too.
- Vinegar, any type will do - I use red wine vinegar.
- Biltong spices, you can buy them ready made spices or be adventurous and make your own up. We buy the Lekker Premium Biltong Spice Mix from BiltongBox.
My hub on making your own biltong box....
How to make your biltong....
- Cut your beef into inch or two inches thick strips, cutting along the grain of the meat. You may find want to cut it thicker or thinner it is entirely down to personal preference. We like this size, so that when the biltong is sliced, the slices are just the right size to pop into your mouth. (Picture 1)
- Spray the meat thoroughly with vinegar, I keep vinegar in a spray bottle for this, if you don't have a spray bottle you could just soak the meat in some vinegar for half an hour or so. The vinegar kills off any bacteria that may create mould during the drying process. Then dry the meat thoroughly with some kitchen paper. Then coat the strips well with your biltong spices, I use around forty grams of biltong spice to half a kilogram of meat. Cover the meat and put in the fridge for eight or more hours, this allows the spices to penetrate into the meat. I usually leaves ours overnight. (Picture 2)
- When your meat has been in the fridge for eight hours or more. it is ready to hang. Make sure your meat hooks have been thoroughly washed and dried. (Picture 3)
- Push the meat hook through one end of the beef strip, about an inch down the strip, making sure it's secure. (Picture 4)
- You then place your strips of beef in a biltong box to dry. The meat must hang freely and not touch any other strips of meat or the side of the box as this can cause the meat to turn mouldy. If we are making biltong during the winter we will use a 100 watt light bulb in the biltong box for the first 24 - 36 hours and then change it for a 60 watt bulb if the air is not too damp. (Picture 5 and 6)
- After 24 - 36 hours check your meat, if all is going to plan then there should be no sign of the meat moulding. If there is a whitish residue anywhere on the meat I squirt it lightly with vinegar and gently pat dry, it isn't a problem. White residue is usually caused by the salt in the spices. If for any reason your meat is looking green and smelling foul it has turned rancid and should not be eaten. If you keep the conditions in the box warm and dry you shouldn't have a problem. After four days to a week, depending on how thick your strips of meat are and on how dry you like you biltong, you will have biltong ready to eat!! (Picture 7)
Handy tips....
- We turn the light on in the biltong box when we first start to prepare the meat, so that the biltong box is as dry and warm as it can be before we hang the meat to dry.
- Make sure your biltong box is in a dry place, if the air is too damp your biltong can go mouldy. We have learned that it is better for us to bring our biltong box into the house to dry our biltong during the winter months as the weather here is very damp in the winter. During the summer the weather is dry enough to leave the biltong box in the shed to dry the biltong.
- In the summer we use a 60 watt light bulb in the biltong box as we find that gives off sufficient heat to dry the meat out slowly. During the winter we find it best to start off with a 100 watt light bulb for the first 24 - 48 hours, depending on the level of dampness in the air, as the stronger bulb gives off more heat and stops the meat moulding whilst it is at it's wettest. After those first crucial hours it is fine to change the light bulb for a 60 watt.
- Do make sure that the meat strips hang freely and do not touch, we've found that meat touching each other or the side of the box is the main cause of mould. The air must be able to pass freely around the meat allowing it to dry properly.
Now you know how to make your own biltong....
You can experiment with different spices or even try mixing your own....Enjoy....

An interesting hub although I don't plan to make biltong any time soon.
We make our own beef jerky, which is a similar procedure although there is steady indirect heat (plus we also use a smoker sometimes)that cooks/dries the meat. I would love to try some of the spices on the jerky, may have to get some!
Sounds really interesting, I have heard of Biltong, but never really knew what it meant!
How unusual -- never heard of this snack or seen it sold anywhere here in Southern California. Don't know if I'm courageous enough to cook it at this point, but it sounds worthwhile. Voting this Up and Useful.
very Yummy hmm.i tasteD BILT0NG WHEN my fren francis br0ught it here..yumyum.here in philippines we called it kusahos..
