Ongoing: Measures to stabilize financial, housing, and auto sectors
Overview: 4-Track Budget Process
In considering the fiscal and economic challenges facing the new Obama Administration, it is helpful to visualize a four-track process:
- Enactment of economic stimulus legislation (likely to occur in February);
- Completion of FY 2009 appropriations (likely to occur in February, but no later than March 6, 2009 when the continuing resolution expires);
- Transmittal of the FY 2010 budget (in March or April) followed by a congressional budget resolution and a possible budget reconciliation bill; and
- Ongoing measures by the Treasury and Fed to stabilize the financial, housing, and auto sectors.
1st Track: Economic Stimulus Legislation (late Jan/Feb)
In announcing his budget and economic team (see the December 2, 2008 WBR), President-elect Obama emphasized that work to develop a far-reaching stimulus measure would begin immediately, particularly in light of Commerce Department reports that the economy shrunk by 0.5 percent in the third quarter.
[The National Bureau of Economic Research, a panel of academic economists charged with the official designation of business cycles, said that the United States economy has been in recession since December 2007, when economic activity peaked.]
Obama declined to specify a size for the stimulus measure but tasked his economic and budget team to develop an "aggressive economic recovery plan" that would create or save 2.5 - 3 million jobs. Obama advisers have suggested the package might be in the range of $675 - $775 billion.
Democratic congressional leaders would like to have legislation ready to sign shortly after Obama is sworn in as President on January 20. (Congress reconvenes on January 6.) However, Republican leaders have signaled a desire to go slower. The pace of the legislation will ultimately depend on how long it takes the White House and Democratic leadership to assemble 60 votes in the Senate to invoke cloture and bring the package to a vote; all eyes will be on moderate Republican Senators.
Based on recent reports from the New York Times, the stimulus package may include:
- TAX RELIEF: middle class tax relief, possibly in the form of a refundable $500 payroll tax credit for most workers; tax relief for businesses that create or save jobs and invest in new equipment; and renewable energy tax incentives. Obama aides told the NY Times this component may amount to $300 billion.
- INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS: in roads, bridges, rail systems, mass transit, ports, airports, sewers, water treatment facilities, schools, public housing, healthcare information technology, renewable energy, and broadband (with preference given to ready-to-go projects)--amounting to $175 - $275 billion.
- DIRECT AID TO STATES: including federal Medicaid contributions to cash-strapped States. (For many States, Medicaid is one of their largest expenditures.) Congressional aides briefed on the package told AP that this component may amount to $200 billion.
House Majority Leader Hoyer has said the stimulus package would be free of earmarks and the investment funds would instead be distributed on a "formula basis," i.e. allocated to states based on population or other factors.
According to Obama advisers, the middle class tax relief in the stimulus package will be temporary, but permanent tax cuts--that are not offset--will be proposed in the President-Elect's FY 2010 budget transmittal to Congress in the spring. While stimulus measures could be characterized as "emergency" in nature, non-offset permanent cuts would run afoul of House and Senate PAYGO rules that require new tax cuts and entitlement increases to be paid for with offsets. "Blue Dogs" in the House of Representatives (a group of 51 conservative Democrats) would typically oppose permanent erosion of the revenue base.
House Republicans have outlined an alternative stimulus plan focused on tax cuts and energy investments.
The nation's governors discussed infrastructure projects recently during a meeting with President-elect Obama. See the National Governors Association white paper on economic recovery.
Background.--The 2008 economic stimulus bill was signed into law on February 13, 2008 and cost $152 billion (HR 5140). It provided tax rebates for individuals and business incentives.
In late September 2008, the House passed a second, $61 billion economic stimulus bill 264-158 (HR 7110), despite a presidential veto threat. However, Senate attempts to pass a similar stimulus bill failed when proponents fell 8 votes short of the 60 votes needed to shut down a Republican filibuster. The Senate bill (S. 3604) also drew a presidential veto threat.
CBO cost estimate of HR 7110
2d Track: Completion of FY 2009 Appropriations (Jan/Feb)
Last year's appropriations process was one of the worst on record in terms of Congress passing the 12 regular appropriations bills. In fact, in 2008, only one appropriations bill made it to the House Floor.
There were two reasons for the serious disruption of the regular appropriations process. First, President Bush threatened to veto any appropriations bills that exceeded his requests, and Democrats--as reflected in the Budget Resolution--called for nearly $25 billion more than the President requested. Second, House Republicans attempted to amend appropriations bills with off-shore oil drilling amendments, strongly opposed by many Democrats.
Consequently, in late September, Congress enacted a stopgap measure to keep Federal programs operating. The stopgap measure was a hybrid of an "omnibus" appropriations bill and a "continuing resolution":
- it included detailed, full-year appropriations measures for the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, and Veterans Affairs (based upon provisions informally negotiated by House and Senate Appropriators); and
- it included stopgap funding through March 6, 2009 for all other departments and agencies of government at FY 2008 levels.
The stopgap provision did not provide inflation adjustments for the covered agencies. However, some specific programs did receive increases: the low income home energy assistance program (LIHEAP) received a $2.5 billion increase over '08; Pell Grants for higher education received $2.5 billion over '08; and the WIC program received $1 billion over '08 to assist with nutrition for new mothers and their children.
In addition, the bill included $23 billion for disaster relief, and authorized $25 billion in loans to the auto industry to retool and develop more fuel efficient vehicles. (GM and Chrysler have received a separate bridge loan to forestall bankruptcy.)
In the coming weeks, the Obama Transition Team will work with congressional appropriators on legislation to keep Federal programs operating beyond March 6, 2009, and at levels closer to Congress' FY 2009 Budget Resolution.Following is a summary of the late September stopgap measure:
Summary: Continuing Resolution
Summary: Disaster Relief Package
Summary: Defense Appropriations
Summary: Homeland Security Appropriations
Summary: Military Construction and Veterans Affairs AppropriationsBill Text and Explanatory Statement
3rd Track: FY 2010 Budget (March/April)
While FY 2009 appropriations and a major economic stimulus plan are being expedited, President-elect Obama's new Administration will be simultaneously developing an FY 2010 Budget for transmittal to Congress. The 2010 Budget is technically due the first Monday in February 2009, but new Administrations are generally accorded flexibility to develop and transmit their first budget submission by early April.
The FY 2010 Budget transmittal will provide Congress with its first opportunity to view the Administration's long-term budget priorities in detail.From a strategic point of view, provisions that may be controversial are more likely to be considered in the FY 2010 budget process rather than in the January stimulus bill. The reason is that the FY 2010 congressional budget process can initiate a filibuster-proof "Budget Reconciliation" measure.
4th Track: Stabilizing the Financial, Housing, and Auto sectors (Ongoing)
The Washington Budget Report is maintaining an ongoing summary of actions taken by the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, FDIC, and other agencies to stabilize the financial, housing, and auto sectors and reestablish credit flows.

Beulah firefighters quit over chief's arrests
PUEBLO, Colo. - At least five Beulah firefighters have quit the department, saying they don't have faith in new Beulah Fire Chief Bryan Ware because of his arrest record.
Ware was named chief this year by the new Beulah Fire Protection and Ambulance District board.
Ware came to Colorado after serving a year's probation in Huron, Ohio, for a 2009 misdemeanor after he sent a photo of male genitals to a group of recipients, including a minor. In 2006, Ware was cited for providing alcohol to minors at a party.
Ware tells our partners at the Pueblo Chieftain the firefighters are upset because he fired one firefighter and five others resigned.

Oquendo stops Seldon!
By Jacob Chavez at ringside
Heavyweight Fres "The Big O" Oquendo (31-5, 19 KOs) impressively picked apart former world champ Bruce "The Atlantic City Express" Seldon (40-8, 36 KOs) Friday night at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago. Oquendo outboxed Seldon throughout and despite coming in seemingly great shape Seldon's aggression was no match for the slick and very talented Oquendo. Picking his spots and putting good combinations together, Oquendo had Seldon in serious problems in the seventh, but he was saved by the bell. Seldon then took a knee in the eight after absorbing punishment, and again in the ninth when he allowed for Referee Pete Podgorski to reach the count of ten. The time was 2:35.

Which single asset class are you most bullish (or bearish) about in the coming year? And what ETF position would you choose to best capture that?
In the short to intermediate term, we are most bearish on Brazilian large caps and consequently have a long position in ProShares UltraShort MSCI Brazil ETF (NYSEARCA:BZQ).
How does this ETF fit into your overall investment approach? Tell us a bit about your strategy and goals.
Long term, we are particularly bullish on the gold mining sector because the price of gold relative to the cost of extraction has increased substantially in the last three years and we forecast this profit margin expansion for the miners will be sustained for years to come thereby providing a nice tailwind for the industry as a whole. However, contrary to conventional wisdom, the precious metals complex is not always inversely correlated to risk assets.
At times, gold mining shares (as well as gold itself, and silver even more so) are tightly correlated to the broad market and so we find ourselves having to run a very active hedge book against our long book of various gold stocks to manage the market volatility thrown off by the business cycle and intermittent liquidity panics. Ironically, in the short term, it is from our hedge book where we expect the greater profits. BZQ is one of the positions in our hedge book.
Tell us more about the sector. What makes going bearish here your top pick?
We think valuations of emerging market equities in general are too rich. Our outlook for the global economy is not as rosy as the market is pricing in. We see the best-case scenario for Japan, Europe and the U.S. as maintenance of the status quo while these economies continue their process of repair and realignment. In such a scenario, we do not think stock valuations of emerging markets whose economies are geared towards servicing the aggregate demand of the Big Three are justified.
We single out Brazil because that economy in particular is highly dependent on industrial commodities, which we are also negative on. The world is drowning in the excess supply of almost all commodities including oil, natural gas, coal, steel, iron ore, base metals, petrochemicals, etc. A slowdown in commodity prices will result in slower growth and consequent reduction in demand in countries like Brazil, Russia, Indonesia, Australia, Canada and the Middle East.
We are also bearish on non-U.S. dollar currencies, and so short Brazil allows us to be short emerging market equities, short commodities and short non-dollar currency, all rolled up in one.
Are there alternative ETFs that could be used to capture the same theme? What makes this specific ETF your first choice?
Shorting the iShares MSCI Brazil Index ETF (NYSEARCA:EWZ) would be another option, but we prefer using the inverse ETFs because it is easier on our stock loan department, and we are not hit with sudden surcharges or getting bought in when it becomes difficult to borrow a security.
Does your view differ from the consensus sentiment on this sector?
It is difficult to tell what is contrary opinion these days, but we think we are in the minority. We think emerging markets like Brazil are appealing to the majority of investors because it seems like everyone falls into one of three camps: 1) Everything is just fine and global GDP growth is poised to come back just as strong as before the financial crisis of 2008; 2) central banks will destroy the purchasing power of their money and so investors need to protect themselves via tangibles; or 3) the sun has set on the U.S. and the greater opportunities are in other markets. We don't subscribe to any of these theses.
We think the global economy needs more time to repair and realign. We think the credit markets are too developed, as least in the U.S., to entertain hyperinflation as a threat in the immediate term, and we think the best days for the U.S. are ahead.
What catalysts, near-term or long-term, could move the sector significantly?
At the end of the day, the short- to intermediate-term outlook for the Brazilian economy (and industrial commodities in general) are dependent on the Chinese economy. Of course, we cannot be certain how things will play out for China, but we do not like that all the economic variables of the Chinese economy are controlled by the government.
In the immediate term, we see a slowdown in China's pace of fixed asset investment. This, combined with the weak outlook for demand in Japan, Europe and the U.S., creates a poor demand outlook for commodities.
After falling in May on euro concerns, the Brazilian real is on another rally. It was the best-performing major currency last year (up 33%), so it's prone to some big movement; what effect would another pullback in currency have on your thinking (say, on Brazil's exports)?
Brazil is mostly an exporter of raw materials, not finished goods. Raw materials are priced in U.S. dollars. A pullback in the real will have some effect on the economy, but we think it will be muted as it relates to their export industries.
What could go wrong with your pick?
There are so many things that can go wrong with our pick. If any of the following are true, our trade will not work:
Beijing is better at managing the Chinese economy than we are giving them credit for;
Global GDP growth has resumed pre-2008 levels and we are underestimating the demand for industrial commodities;
Industrial commodities production is limited and we overestimate supply;
Hyperinflation rears its head and investors seek to protect their purchasing power via equities and industrial commodities;
Brazil develops its domestic economy faster than the decline in their export economy.
Thanks, VK, for sharing your choice with us.
Disclosure: At the time of writing, Atyant Capital owned the ProShares UltraShort MSCI Brazil ETF (BZQ) for hedge funds managed by Atyant Capital Partners LLC. Atyant Capital Partners LLC may in the future dispose of or purchase additional shares in the ProShares UltraShort MSCI Brazil ETF (BZQ).

June 2008
Raw honey prices continue to escalate with Light Amber honey prices starting
to escalate more rapidly. This was expected with the large price disparity
between Light Amber honey and White honey, and as Light Amber honey fills
the void for the short supply of White honey. There are reports of several
hundred containers of imported honey being held up by customs for possible
adulteration, and this has added to the supply issue.
The California honey crop, although better than last year, is still
projected to be below average. In the prime honey producing areas of the
Upper Midwest, conditions look favorable as rains have helped to relieve
some drought areas in that region. Things can change very quickly, but right
now weather conditions look favorable for a good crop. The issues that
could negate good crop conditions are:
Reduced forage areas as much more of this area is turned over to cropland or
is lost to urbanization.
Colony Collapse Disorder is becoming a bigger problem than originally
expected with more and more reports of heavy bee losses. Many beekeepers
will again opt to forsake a honey crop to rebuild their colonies for the
very lucrative pollination season.
Although expectations are for a better crop than last years' dismal 148
million lb. crop, we don't expect anything close to an average crop in the
U.S. The 200 million lb. average crops of a few years ago are probably
history as that number continues to drop, and 170 to 180 million lb. crops
may become the normal.
The Canadian honey crop is also expected to be below average, and prices
should mirror U.S. honey prices. Most of the 2008 South American honey crop
has been bought up by Europe as the U.S. found it difficult to compete for
that honey with our weaker dollar.
In summary, the raw honey price should remain strong through the end of this
year into 2009. Needed to stabilize prices will be more honey entering the
world market from Asian countries, but with many of these countries
utilizing their honey for their own needs, and with reluctance on the world
market to buy some of this honey for quality reasons, this will probably not
ease the supply issue. Not until raw honey prices reach a level that
reduces the demand for honey, will we see softening prices.

Author Tim Jackson to visit Blue Ridge Books
If you are a fan of University of North Carolina athletics, Tim Jackson's "Gone Pro: North Carolina" is a must-have book.
Jackson will be reading from and signing copies of his book at 3 p.m. Saturday, April 12 at Blue Ridge Books.
The book provides a comprehensive look at the University of North Carolina athletes who made it to the top of their professions. The book includes the big names from recent generations: sports superstars such as Vince Carter, Mia Hamm, Michael Jordan, B.J. Surhoff, and Lawrence Taylor.
It also looks at some who were never as well-known and others, such as Charlie "Choo Choo" Justice, who were widely recognized nationwide more than half a century ago, but whose names have faded over the years. "Gone Pro: North Carolina" explores those athletes' place in Carolina history but then goes on to look at how they fared at the highest levels of their sports.
This book explores the athletes who were good in college but went on to become pro stars as well as the college phenoms who could never translate their success at UNC to the pro level. Encyclopedic in nature but filled with stories and fun information, this book is sure to appeal to Tar Heels everywhere and sports fans in general.
The University of North Carolina has long been one of the best all-around college sports programs, and with such success comes a tremendous amount of athletes who have made it to the next level-the final level of athletics prowess.
Even if you're simply a North Carolina resident or have ties to the state, this book will make you beam with pride to see the amazing amount of professionals who hailed from the state's flagship school-the University of North Carolina.
Jackson's career in publishing started at a young age. At 17, he began writing sports for his hometown newspaper, The Franklin County Times, in Alabama. He went on to the University of Alabama where he began writing for student publications, quickly becoming assistant sports editor for the school paper.
While maintaining a love of sports, Tim's career took a different direction. He began writing about the arts, antiques, culture, entertainment, and the outdoors. He has worked as a full-time employee for Southern Living, Cooking Light, and Canoe & Kayak magazines as well as at Radford University.
Now based in Asheville, he has done extensive freelance writing and editing, most recently acting as editor of the online publication The Asheville Post. He lives in Asheville.

Overland Seats Make Noise
My Overland driver seat seems to be making a squeaking noise. If I move the seat a little bit, the noise stops for a while, but then it comes back. It's not like a mouse squeak...i can't really describe the noise actually. Has anybody else noticed this? If so, is there a cure? It is driving me nuts.
Re: Overland Seats Make Noise
Is it possible that you're quietly farting for joy because you actually HAVE your Overland?
Because that's totally what it would be if I actually had MINE.

Ministry Victory Medical Group's (MVMG's) Stanley, Thorp and Owen Clinics saw a total of 181 high school students during the clinics' annual free sports physicals. These exams comply with the requirements of the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA), which state that a student must have a current physical examination on file before they are allowed to start practice.
Of the students who were screened, 5 percent needed further follow-up before being cleared for participation. About the screening overall, MVMG Group Clinics Manager Cindy Lindgren says, "These physicals are not always covered by insurance and some families may not have the financial ability to pay, especially if they have more than one child involved in sports. Some of these physicals help parents identify potential health risks, as they did in 5 percent of the students we screened. We are pleased to be able to provide this service so that no child in our area will be excluded from participation because the family couldn't afford the physical exam. The value of this service to our children and sports programs this year was $26,607."
During the physical, healthcare providers evaluate the prospective athlete's overall appearance, eyes, ears, nose, throat, lymph nodes, heart, pulse, lungs, abdomen and skin. They also evaluate the musculoskeletal system and look at the neck, back, shoulder/arm, elbow/forearm, wrist/hand, hip/thigh, knee, leg/ankle and foot. The MVMG staff providing the physicals this year were: Tom Tuttle, MD; Charles Wirtz, MD; Bill Hopkins, MD; Dan Gilles, PA-C; Peter Gintner, PA-C; Betsy Wacker, PA-C; and Stacey Gusman, APNP.
Ministry Our Lady of Victory Hospital and MVMG President Cindy Eichman says, "We are grateful to these clinicians and to their support staff for making it possible to provide this service to our communities."

Clora Belle Bartlett
Clora Belle Davis Bartlett went to be with her lord and savior on May 15, 2012, with her family at her side. Services will be held at LaGrone Funeral Chapel, Friday, May 18, 2012, at 2 p.m., with the Rev. Ernie Amador officiating. Interment will follow in South Park Cemetery.
Clora Belle Bartlett was born Aug. 10, 1926, to H.R. (Kiah) and Irene Fry Davis, who predeceased her. On July 14, 1943, Clora married the love of her life Fred T. Bartlett. They were married 67 years before Fred's passing on Dec. 26, 2009.
Left to cherish her memory are her son William Lee Bartlett and his wife Liz, her daughter Fredda Sanders and husband Lorin, all of Roswell; two sisters, Dovie S. Hopper, of Roswell, and Betty Lou Ferrell and husband Bud, of Arizona; six grandchildren, William Freddie [auth] Bartlett, Jennifer Ann Johnson, Melissa Mckelvey, and Christa Abbott, all of Roswell, and Russell A. Bartlett, Troy L. Bartlett, and one stepgrandchild Dee Burrows, of Amarillo; nine great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews; and a special friend and caregiver of Fred and her parents Kathy Smith.
Her oldest son Russell Troy Bartlett predeceased her in 2004.
The family would like to say thank you to her grandaughter, Christa Abbott for the excellent care and love she gave her grandmother the past two years of her life. She knew she was loved every day, and she loved Christa very much. To Lorin Sanders her beloved son-in-law, the family thanks him for opening his home and lovingly taking such good care of Clora during this past two years. He was an angel to her and she loved him very much.
Clora was a life member of the Pythian Sisters and served as the grand chief of the state of New Mexico. She was active in politics and worked at the polls. She was a member of the PTA all through the formative years of her children's education, and was a homeroom mother for all. She was a 40-year member of the Rebekahs in Roswell, and was the noble grand for three years. She spent many tireless hours working in charities for children and for homeless in her early years. She worked during World War II for the war effort while her husband served in Germany and at the Battle of the Bulge. With her young son, she would attend Saturday morning newsreels at the movie theater for information on the war and where her beloved Fred was serving.
Clora was a wonderful wife, a loving and caring mother and grandmother and a mentor for all who needed a special friend. She knew no bounds in her love of her family, friends and her love of her lord and savior. Her favorite spiritual song was "I am only 4'11 but I'm going to heaven and it makes me feel 10' tall." Her granchildren called her Momo, but to her children she was Mother and she was the true mother exemplified in every action.
God gave us an angel to enjoy on Earth and now she is in heaven with her husband the love of her life, and her son Russell, whom she loved and cherished. For us left to grieve, we know where she is and that we will see her again someday. Goodbye, precious Mother, Momo, sister, aunt and friend. We love you and miss you.
Pallbearers will be Jeremie Mckelvey, Joshua Mckelvey, Kevin Durbin, all great-grandsons, and Richard Kirkendal, Tommy Ferrell and Tyler Neill.
You can come by where Clora lived the past two years to pay your respects and visit with the family. You are welcome.
Condolences can be offered online at lagronefuneralchapels.com.
Arrangements are under the direction of LaGrone Funeral Chapel.

Ease moving day stress
Moving can be a stressful process. Reduce the tension by communicating with the movers throughout the day and being prepared for these common setbacks ahead of time.
Problem: Floor coverings
New residences with freshly laid carpets often have plastic or butcher paper covering the floor. This poses a hazard for the movers and your belongings; the mover can trip on the plastic or tear the paper and go right through it. Julian Grefe from Old City Movers in Philadelphia says that the safest and best option to protect your floors is to put down moving blankets. "All of our trucks come fully stocked with blankets. It is difficult to keep floors pristine but the blankets cover them well and our movers are always careful," Grefe says. Ask the company if they have blankets before moving day to make sure you're prepared ahead of time.
Problem: Transporting vehicles
One request that Old City Movers gets fairly often is to transport vehicles, such as motorcycles and scooters, inside their trucks. A lot of people don't realize that there are legal restrictions on who can move vehicles. If you do want to move a vehicle, you should check with the moving company first to see if they will handle that, or arrange for alternate transportation.
Problem: Gases and flammable liquids
Moving companies are not able to put flammable liquids or compressed gases on the trucks. Items such as the propane tank on your grill or a gas can easily be overlooked when packing.
Problem: Appliances
Make sure you unhook all of your appliances and defrost your refrigerator beforehand. Grefe says if you don't, your refrigerator will defrost in the truck and soak everything around it. The time added during loading and unloading makes this necessary even for shorter moves, and in the summer it will melt even faster.
Problem: Special requests
If you have the moving company pack your belongings, make sure your instructions are clear and you prioritize items. "People don't always mention if they don't want their medicine packed in a certain box or need their child seat left out or put in the front of the truck. This causes problems," Grefe says. If you do have a special request, put the items in a designated area, make a note of it, and tell the movers.

Max Dudious on the Music, Part 1
This review first appeared in the March, 2004 edition of Audiophile Audition.
BACH, J.S.: Cantatas 82, Ich habe genug; and 199, Mein Herze schwimmt im Blut. – Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, mezzo soprano, The Orchestra of Emmanuel Music/ Craig Smith, conductor – Nonesuch Stereo CD, 79692.2
Though the first half of the eighteenth century was considered the beginning of the Enlightenment (culminating with Voltaire and the philosophs in Catholic France, and Goethe in Protestant Germany), the sway of religion over daily life was still quite powerful. The faithful saw the divinity everywhere. God pervaded the world—every day—and man celebrated God with prayers morning, noon, and evening. The handful of cantatas Bach wrote for solo voice (not for his more numerous compositions for chorus and usually two or more soloists) show Bach at his most religious, as though the soloist were speaking for Bach as he wrestled with those theological issues the devout Christian ought to confront.
Bach's Cantata 82, Ich habe genug, is about man's readiness to die (or, rather, the steps necessary to prepare for death free of worldly distractions), a musical sermon based on the lesson from the Gospel or Epistle assigned for that particular day. In Luke 2:22-32 (we're told in the engaging album notes), the portion focuses on Simeon "to whom it had been revealed by the Holy Ghost 'that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.' This is followed by Simeon's beatific prayer known as the Nunc dimittis: 'Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou has prepared before the face of all people; a light to lighten the gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.'" In this way believers can die in peaceful repose, for death shall have no dominion, nor terror.
Cantata 199, more specifically, deals with the humility of the sinner before God. The entirety of the cantata amounts to a series of confessions of unworthiness. During the course of the cantata, the tone of the declaration moves from regret to acceptance, to rejoicing at reunion with God. That is the trajectory of both these cantatas.
The singing is wonderful as Lorraine Hunt Lieberson has clarity of diction, control of presentation, a lovely mezzo voice, and the musicianship to bring both these song cycles into dramatic focus. It is clear she has thought long and hard about the meaning of each phrase, performing them often, here turning them artfully to her purpose. Boston's Orchestra of Emmanuel Music, under the direction of Craig Smith, is schooled in the conventions of the period and accompanies with great assurance. Particularly notable is oboist Peggy Pearson, whose playing in the duet sections is delicately expressive. In all, a first-rate effort.
The acoustic of Emmanuel Church, Boston, is about that of a medium sized church of Bach's era, if I remember accurately the facsimile I visited and listened in at Munich's Deutsches Museum – the German museum of science and technology with a section dedicated to housing old instruments. I'd guess the Emmanuel Church was chosen because its decay time is appropriate to the period and the music. This album, recorded in standard CD format, is highly recommended.
Make that quite highly. Good job, guys.
CHOPIN, Frédéric: Ballades, Mazurkas,
While not close to as eccentric as the late Glenn Gould, Piotr Anderszewski has managed to garner unto himself the label of this generation's Peck's Bad Boy of piano virtuosi. When I heard him as guest soloist with my local symphony I couldn't understand how that came to pass, unless to walk one step to either side of the corporate middle road is to be a rebel these days. He played a Haydn piano concerto to which he leant a "modern" touch that I felt was within the bounds of perfectly acceptable, and in service of the music. Maybe he's been an enfant terrible in the past, but this program of Chopin ballades, mazurkas, and polonaises seems standard fare to me. Which is not to say that Anderszewski is another of the buttoned down and seemingly interchangeable guest soloists that parade through the classical music world these days. He's not. He's more.
Having said that, it is incumbent on me to show how. I grew up with Chopin played by Artur Rubenstein, Emil Gilels, and Dinu Lupati (some of my dad's favorites). More recently I've listened to Malcolm Frager and Tamás Vásáry, though I must admit Chopin never developed the passion in me I've felt for the solo piano works of Beethoven and Schubert, Liszt and Ravel. Still, one can't help but marvel at Chopin's Ballades, especially No. 4 in F minor, Op. 52. And it is here that Anderszewski shines.
Compared with Vásáry, we note that Anderszewski takes nearly a full two minutes longer: that's nearly a 20% increase stretching a ten minute piece to twelve minutes. Slowing the tempo (also one of Glenn Gould's tricks) allows for two things: first, the slower passages come across as more dreamy, as in the nocturnes, so when the tempo re-accelerates it seems to bring with it a rush of intensity; and secondly, stretching the phrases out, and the silences between, seems to add a sense of profound meaning. Another trick is increasing the dynamic range, playing the softs, softer – and the louds, louder. Taken all together, the music seems more intensely meaningful in the hands of Anderszewski. Obviously, he has the control and talent to pull it off.
Comparing readings of the "Heroic Polonaise" in A Flat Major, Op. 53, Frager takes 6:22 while Anderszewski takes 7:45; again, nearly a 20% increase. While Vásáry flies perhaps too lightly through the Ballade #4, Frager drives his way perhaps too muscularly through the "Heroic Polonaise" leaving little room for variation in texture. Heroic it is named, and heroic it will be. By slowing things down, Anderszewski creates a greater range of emotional expression, subtlety, and nuance within each piece. And therein lies the strength of his readings.
If it seems that Chopin is all dreamy reverie in one piece, all birds and flowers in another, or all nationalistic fervor in a third, we might dismiss him as too monolithic. If, as Piotr Anderszewski demonstrates, there is more to Chopin (even within single pieces) than previous performance conventions would allow, we can see how he appears to be taking on the Establishment with his readings. I, for one, welcome his insurgency as a breath of fresh air. This one is a natural fit for Chopin lovers who'd enjoy a fresh look at the music, and for those who have just discovered Chopin and want to go farther into his oeuvre.
Highly recommended.
TCHAIKOVSKY: Symphony No. 5; Romeo & Juliet Fantasy Overture. – Royal Philharmonic Orchestra/ Daniele Gatti – harmonia mundi Stereo CD, HMU 907381
Tchaikovsky wrote in an oft-quoted letter that he was dissatisfied with his fifth symphony (Opus 64, 1888), saying that it came too easy, was (in today's parlance) like painting by the numbers. I don't share his opinion about this symphony that, many feel, is his most mature masterpiece. He may have felt it formulaic, but if that's true it was one inspired formula. His later symphony, No. 6 ("The Pathetique"), may have more Sturm und Drang, while his earlier No. 1 ("Winter Dreams") and No. 2 ("Little Russian") symphonies may be more optimistic, but his Symphony #5 seems to have captured his deeply conflicted personality oscillating, as it does, between pleasant waltz themes and martial mementos moris. It was said, by earlier critics, that his fifth symphony had touches of religious sentiment. I'm not sure how that was meant, though I do hear some references to finality and death. In either case, the work has lots of depth and resonance and is usually listed (along with his sixth) as among his best works in symphonic form.
The Romeo & Juliet Fantasy Overture was written in 1869, nineteen years before the fifth symphony, and has come to be considered his "first masterpiece," the piece that turned Tchaikovsky into Tchaikovsky!! Based on the Shakespearean drama, the piece abounds with a handful of musical character sketches, and the energy of the piece develops with the action between these characters. The work, according to my 1935 Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians, "seems to glow and throb with youthful passion and tenderness." A fair assessment, I'd say, and brought to life in this performance. Considering the piece as an early self portrait, this album leaves us with a snapshot of Tchaikovsky in first flower of creative mastery, with Romeo & Juliet his Portrait of the Artist, as it were, and another snapshot of the mature composer in Symphony #5, his Ulysses. Nice programming from the guys at harmonia mundi.
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of London, plays its collective fingers to the bone on this one, sounding quite well disciplined, and allowing Gatti to live up to his reputation as a contender for the title "Best Conductor of his Generation." The orchestra is in fine fettle, and its abilities are well captured by the harmonia mundi recording team. The acoustics are a little back in the hall for my taste, but not everyone likes to sit up close as I do. All in all, a fine recording of some nice music bringing the Tchaikovsky oeuvre up to date in pretty modern (2003, though not SACD) recording technology.
There is an irony here as the Russian Tchaikovsky took trips to Italy to study both formal and folk music. He wrote pieces based on Italian melodies and stories. Romeo & Juliet is set in Italy. It seems he enjoyed Italy and wanted to absorb as much Italian culture as he could. It is almost as though he, himself, wanted to become more Italian. Gatti is an Italian who here is demonstrating his mastery of the Russian idiom, the Russian master's music. So Gatti is trying to be more Russian, and offers the work of a Russian who is trying to be more Italian. Just another of life's little paradoxes.
This is a well conceived, well played, well recorded offering of two of Tchaikovsky's best works. Any Tchaikovsky devotée ought to get right to his computer and order this one from his favorite vendor. Consider it an obligation to keep classical music going.

Letter from an Unknown Woman
Dir. Max Ophüls
USA 1948 | Black & white | 87 mins | Cert U | Drama

Rethinking technology and the legal profession
Is your undergrad degree in English or another of the humanities? Did you go to law school at least in part because you love to read and write—and hate math and technology?
Daniel Martin Katz, an assistant professor at Michigan State University College of Law, believes that this is often the case—and that it's something that may need to change.
In a post called "Training students for the technology-infused law practice of the 21st century" at Legal Ethics Forum, Katz argues that law schools—and their students—should move away from a liberal arts mindset that shuns math and science and toward what he calls "the MIT School of Law."
"From both a scholarship and training perspective, it is time to get serious about science, computation, data analytics and technology," he writes.
In an increasingly competitive legal arena, Katz believes, law firms, general counsels, and individual clients will expect much more sophisticated and accurate predictions regarding how much the work on their legal matters will cost and what the rewards might be. Katz calls this type of computer-aided forecasting Quantitative Legal Prediction, and he believes it will be an important part of your future.
In short, he says, "Yes, there is going to be math (and technology) on the exam."
Your academic support office: Scientifically proven to help you feel better
If you've been considering dropping by your school's academic support office but are in need of one more nudge, here you go: A two-year study found that, among several other benefits, you're likely to emerge feeling more supported in your ability to achieve, and also that your law school is a more "human" place.
In an abstract posted at Legal Skills Prof Blog, Professors Louis N. Schulze Jr. (New England) and Adam Ding (Northeastern) report that in general, well-developed law school academic support programs lead to increased well-being and a "more robust educational experience."
Toot your own horn … carefully
Looking for a job? A cover letter is key, and Professor Eugene Volokh of the UCLA School of Law has some suggestions on how to write a good one.
In a post called "Effective self-promotion in cover letters" at The Volokh Conspiracy, he says that this type of writing requires a careful balance between promoting yourself enough without being excessive.
One way to achieve that balance, Volokh writes, is to back up your self-promotion with verifiable evidence. So, he says, "I got an A+ in my Legal Writing class" works, whereas "I'm an excellent writer" might not.
But in bolstering your letter with evidence, don't forget enthusiasm, he adds. For example, if you're seeking a clerkship, just saying that you published three articles while in law school isn't as strong as "I've long loved legal writing; my experience publishing three articles reaffirmed this for me, and made me realize how much I would enjoy clerking."
And don't forget to proofread both your cover letter and your résumé. "Many readers will assume that if you erred in documents that are so important to your own success, you'll also be sloppy on other matters," Volokh says.

While fooling around with some numbers, trying to calculate how a change in tire size affects speedometer accuracy, I discovered something I don't understand about the tire manufacturer's specifications.The OEM tires on my MINI Cooper were Continental ContiProContact - 175/65R-15 84 H. The Continental website shows the circumference as 24" - and Revs per Mile as 856. But if 24" in diameter, then the circumference = 75.4" and that x 856 / 12 = 5378 ft rather than the expected 5280 ft.Likewise, my replacement tires - Michelin Primacy MXV4, 195/60R-15 88 H - are shown by Michelin to have a diameter of 24.2" and 859 Revs per Mile, which works out to 5442 ft - again, too high.Assuming the Revs per Mile spec is more accurate, I recalculated the Michelin diameter as (5280x12)/859/3.1416=23.48. So why is the published spec 24.2" and not 23.5"? The implied precision is a 10th of an inch, but there is a 7/10 th discrepancy.Even weirder - the specs show the Michelin is bigger in diameter than the Conti (24.2" vs 24"), but it has the higher Revs per mile spec (859 vs 856). Obviously, a bigger diameter means a bigger circumference, which should mean fewer revs per mile, right?So I'm wondering if there is something else going on which I don't understand. Like maybe the diameter spec is the molded size, but inflating the tire and then adding the weight of the car somehow gives the tire a different effective circumference? I can imagine the weight of the car changing the radius of the tire as it squats down - but not the circumference - how much are those steel belts going to stretch?Can anybody explain this mess?
My only guess is that they could be going of dimensions that are only reached once the the tires are up to temperature and the air pressure in them rises to their normal operating levels. That will account for a difference.
I believe you've figured it out for yourself. With the car's weight on the tire, it compresses, providing a somewhat smaller effective radius at the contact point. That leads to a smaller effective circumference based on the effective radius (all parts of the tire compress as they rotate under the car), and thus the change in revolutions per mile. Car weight, air pressure and sidewall stiffness will effect the result.The unloaded height is a simple calculation based on the tire dimensions.To get diameter:(175mm x 65%)x2{top and bottom sidewall}/25.4{mm to inches} + 15" = 23.96"(195mm x 60%)x2/25.4 + 15" = 24.21"

Cool question - and great answers; but, I have one of my own. Why does it matter how many revs your tire assembly is doing in making a decision to buy tires?
___________________________Automotive Tech and Mechanical Engineering Student
Casey B:Cool question - and great answers; but, I have one of my own. Why does it matter how many revs your tire assembly is doing in making a decision to buy tires?When switching from the OEM tire, there could be some impact on the speedometer accuracy since it effectively counts tire revolutions. Even if sticking with the same size, there is a small (every one I've looked at was insignificant) difference due to things like sidewall stiffness impacting the effective radius/circumference. For practical purposes, I haven't worried about revs/mi., I just calculate the difference in nominal circumference.

Nice to know - can't believe I didn't learn at the tire shop I worked at for two years. Never saw OEM tires in my location. Any dealer you'd go to has different tires on all their vehicles - talking same make and model.
___________________________Automotive Tech and Mechanical Engineering Student
I think that they could be going of measurements that are only achieved once the the wheels are up to heat range and the air stress in them increases to their regular managing stages. That will consideration for a distinction. . . . .
I am xumei!How are you? I hope can help you!
My main figure is that they could be going of sizes that are just arrived at once the tires are dependent upon temperature. The gaseous tension in them ascents to their typical working levels. That will elucidate a contrast.

If the news from a town in Alabama is any indication, residential wood waste is the next great feedstock for biodiesel. Fifteen of Hoover's police SUVs became the first in the nation to be fueled by "cellulose-based ethanol" on April 16.
Since last year public works has sent ground-up tree branches to Gulf Coast Energy Inc., a 2-year-old alternative-fuel manufacturer, to experiment with at a demonstration plant. The company is raising money to build three commercial plants throughout the state that are expected to produce 200 gallons of ethanol for every ton of wood chips.
"There's enough wood waste in Hoover to make 400,000 gallons of ethanol a year," says Mayor Tony Petelos. When the plants are up and running within the next five years, the city could save $100,000 in tipping fees to landfill the 2,000 tons of trees, limbs and branches it collects each year.
Almost 90% of the city's fleet runs on alternative fuel: 186 trucks and pieces of equipment use biodiesel the Fleet Department makes from used cooking oil, and 196 more vehicles use ethanol. General Motors has authorized the city to use the cellulose-based ethanol on its police fleet of flexible-fuel 2005 Chevrolet Tahoes, Petelos says.
"There was absolutely no difference in performance from corn-based ethanol," says Fleet Management Director David Lindon.The process that converts cellulose -- gasification has been used mainly on coal. In this case, the wood waste is ground and fed into a dryer. It's subjected to intense heat that forms a synthetic gas by separating the carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen. A microorganism introduced to the process then ingests the gas and produces ethanol and water.
"Our goal all along has been to be cellulosic," says Lindon. "Corn's not the answer because you can't raise enough to fuel the country." Corn and soybeans are the feedstock for most ethanol produced in the United States. "Once that plant is up, we could be self-sufficient within 18 months."

text: The secession of 11 Southern states in 1861 plunged the nation into the Civil War, pitting the confederacy against the Union. Three years later, the war still raged. President Abraham Lincoln, frustrated by the failures of his military leaders, turned to Ulysses S. Grant as a commander he believed could lead the Union to victory. Showing confidence in Grant, Congress revived the Army's highest rank of Lieutenant General, and Lincoln nominated Grant for the position.

Proseuction expected to wrap up Green case
Earl Ellis Green could face death penalty in cop-killing case
RIVERSIDE, Calif. - The prosecution is expected to rest its case today in the trial of an ex-con accused of beating and gunning down a Riverside police officer at the end of a foot chase.
Earl Ellis Green could face the death penalty if convicted in the slaying of 27-year-old Ryan Patrick Bonaminio on Nov. 7, 2010.
The murder trial got under way last Monday, and closing statements could get under way as early as Wednesday.
Green's attorneys have admitted that the 46-year-old killed Bonaminio, but they dispute the prosecution's allegations of how and why it happened, arguing that the defendant should be convicted of second-degree murder, not first-degree.
Green is also charged with special circumstance allegations of killing a peace officer and committing a murder to avoid arrest, as well as charges of vehicle theft and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.
The sole eyewitness to the killing, Stephen James McQueen, testified last week that Bonaminio pleaded for his life just before he was shot, shouting at Green, "Don't do it! Don't do it!"
McQueen testified that he was relaxing by his car, having a cigarette in the parking lot of the Center for Spiritual Living on Ridge Road, adjacent to Fairmount Park, when he suddenly heard a man yelling "Stop, stop, stop!"
"I looked over my right shoulder and saw a man coming up over the embankment to my right, and he proceeds across the parking lot," McQueen said, adding that about four or five seconds later, a young policeman ran by, obviously chasing the suspect.
"The officer yelled, `Let me see your hands! Let me see your hands!"' McQueen testified.
He said the suspect -- whom he never identified -- ran behind a stairwell on the east side of the center, where the witness worked as a part-time groundskeeper.
McQueen testified that Bonaminio ran toward the stairwell but slipped in a planter freshly watered and muddy. The witness said the officer went down on one knee, with his rear-end in the mud.
"I saw (the suspect) come out from the stairwell a second later and swing something at the officer," McQueen told Riverside County Deputy District Attorney Mike Hestrin during questioning. "I guess it was a pipe. He swung it at the officer in three consecutive quick blows."
The witness said he could hear the impact of the pipe making contact with Bonaminio's face or head. The assailant then backed four to five feet away from the injured officer, who struggled to his feet with his palms toward the man, begging him not to shoot.
According to McQueen, the attacker fired three shots, two of which struck Bonaminio in the face and head, causing him to collapse face-first in the flower bed.
Prosecutors said Green jogged back to a yellow-colored semi truck -- with no trailer -- which he had allegedly stolen earlier that Sunday evening, and drove it back to the Rubidoux facility from which he'd taken it.
The defendant was stopped by Bonaminio on suspicion of fleeing a hit-and- run crash on Market Street, near the Pomona (60) Freeway, according to testimony. The officer had no idea the truck had been stolen.
Hestrin alleges Bonaminio was killed with his own .40-caliber Glock pistol.
Green, who has a rap sheet spanning more than two decades, was identified through a fingerprint match, leading to his arrest outside a Target store in Riverside two days later.
Search warrants served at his girlfriend's Rubidoux residence at 5161 34th St. led to the recovery of Bonaminio's weapon, Hestrin said.

Not that there was any doubt about the ulterior motives behind NBC's "Green Week," but we didn't expect the Peacock Network to be quite this brazen. This morning on MSNBC, an NBC environmental "correspondent," who as you'll see has an impressive resume as a left-wing activist, openly urged viewers [on the eve of Election Day] to vote for politicians with an environmentalist agenda.
Video (2:18): Real (1.70 MB) and Windows Media (1.42), plus MP3 audio (1.04).
Meterologist Jackie Meretsky was in NYC, reporting live 67 stories up at the "Top of the [NBC] Rock," overlooking Central Park. At 10:12 AM ET, she interviewed Simran Sethi [shown on the right], whom she described as the "brand new environmental correspondent for NBC" and "the greenest person in the organization."
JACKIE MERETSKY: What's your first story [for NBC]?
SIMRAN SETHI: Actually it's for CNBC. I'm key-noting the green conference and I'll do a story on the way green is permeating every aspect of our lives whether it's food or fashion or weather or business. We're understanding that we need to become more environmentally friendly. We have a finite amount of resources and we need to look how our consumption factors into climate change.
MERESTKSY: You can't deny that. Going green, it's something you hear all of the time. How do you get people to act on it?
SETHI: I think what people need to realize is that all environmental issues are local. We have so many opportunities in this day and age to get involved. If what you care about is food, look at local organic food. If you are a fashionista, renewable fibers like bamboo or cotton shirts. Look at hybrid technology. There is room for everyone. And no matter what you are interested in, every person can vote and make sure that in this election, that we really hold our politicians to task and make sure they are bringing this onto their agendas as well.
Sethi went on to get giddy about having had the opportunity to interview Al Gore. You know Al. The guy who complains there's too much balance in the MSM's environmental reporting.
So who is Simran Sethi? The picture that emerges from this bio of the person who NBC chose as its environmental "correspondent" is that of left-wing activist [emphasis added].
Simran Sethi is an award-winning journalist who reports on issues of economic sustainability, environmental stewardship, and social justice. She is a contributing author to Ethical Markets: Growing the Green Economy, the companion guide to the PBS series Ethical Markets. Sethi is the host and writer of Sundance Channel's program The Green and is a commentator and consultant for its series Big Ideas for a Small Planet.
She hosts a weekly environmental podcast for TreeHugger.com, the largest environmental website on the internet. Lauded in Vanity Fair's green issue as the environmental "messenger," Simran recently hosted a forum with Al Gore for MSN.com and has created an audio podcast series for Gore's non-profit The Alliance for Climate Protection. Sethi has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show, the Ellen DeGeneres Show, and the Martha Stewart Show, highlighting ways citizens can become more environmentally friendly.
She is the "eco-expert" on the syndicated green home makeover show The EcoZone Project and is the host of Voom HD Network's social series Keep It Green. Simran anchored the news for MTV Asia, created the MTV India news division, and developed programming for the BBC through her production company SHE TV. She holds an MBA in sustainable management from the Presidio School of Management and a BA in Sociology and Women's Studies from Smith College.

I am the Wizard. This world is mine.
I speak. It's done. My realm is fine.
My wand, my tongue. My sword, my voice.
It's good. It's bad. I speak my choice.
I say happy, or I say mad.
I say angry, or I say glad.
I name that drawing on the wall.
It's not graffiti after all.
The past has been broken. The prison's not real.
My word holds the magic - the power to heal.
Intent is my weapon - a sword from above.
Cruel hate, fear, and anger transmute into love.
This world's my joy. This mouth's my toy.
Reborn -I'm a brand new girl or boy.
I choose. I speak. My will is done.
Come join. Come play. This can be fun.

feel the wind newly on my skin,
touch a new fear, a new anger,
and with focused intent and good fortune,
find an ample measure of my own joy.

text: Getting stuck offroad is usually not very amusing when you are in the middle of it, but afterwards you can manage to laugh a little. Post your tales of woe here. My most recent was when a co-worker was following me down a dirt road at night, and he didn't see the ditch on the right side of the road. He high centered his ford. (yes found on road dead) The funny part was when the tow truck had finished pulling him out, the tow truck was backing down the same road and got himself stuck. Tow truck #2 was able to get the other tow truck out with a bit of work.
