That could have been the title of this CNNMoney.com piece that touted the idea of "fixing" Social Security. The peice begins by quoting Robert Bixby, the director of the Concord Coalition, an organization that was founded by Peter Peterson and is still partially funded by him. Mr. Bixby described fixing Social Security as "low-hanging fruit" when it comes to deficit reduction.
The piece then went on to Mr. Peterson himself:
"While a Social Security fix would cure only a small part of the country's long-term fiscal shortfall, it could pay big dividends in terms of the U.S. standing internationally, deficit hawks say. 'It would be a confidence builder with our foreign lenders,' said Pete Peterson at a recent fiscal summit organized by his foundation, the Peter G. Peterson Foundation.
That could lessen the risk of a big rise in interest rates and buy the country more time to handle other debt-related issues, such as tax and budget reform and further changes in Medicare."
Mr. Peterson's ability to assess what builds confidence with foreign investors or anyone else is somewhat questionable. He managed to somehow completely overlook an $8 trillion housing bubble, the collapse of which gave us the worst downturn in 70 years.
Mr. Peterson's logic is also somewhat confused. If foreign investors lose confidence in the United States then the value of the dollar would fall relative to other currencies. This will make U.S. exports cheaper to foreigners and make foreign imports more expensive to people in the United States. The result would be that we would export more and import less. This improvement in the trade balance would increase employment and reduce the deficit. If the reporter has spoken to someone other than Mr. Peterson and his employees, she may have caught Mr. Peterson's mistaken logic and pointed it out to readers.
The rest of the piece is devoted to misrepresenting Social Security's financial situation. It notes that the program is projected to pay out more in benefits than it takes in as SS taxes this year. It then tells readers:
"When the system takes in less than it has promised to pay out, the government will need to make up the difference by paying back the surplus revenue that has been paid into Social Security over the years, but which Uncle Sam spent on other things."
This is true in the same way that if Mr. Peterson spends the interest from government bonds that he owns or cashs in bonds that hit their expiration date -- rather than reinvesting the money in government bonds -- the government will need to make up the difference by paying back the money that Mr. Peterson has lent over the years, but which Uncle Sam spent on other things.
In other words, the article is implying that there is something sinister about a normal business practice. The Social Security trust fund bought government bonds with its surplus, just like private pension funds do, as well as wealthy individuals. Under the law, this money will be paid back to Social Security -- that is what governments do with their debts -- they pay them back -- unless they default.

That's right, the Post wants the Germans to let out their belts. Its editorial board probably doesn't realize this (they think that Mexico' GDP quadrupled since NAFTA was passed -- the actual growth was about 80 percent), but the statement: "the European Union's more successful economies, especially Germany, must retool to depend less on exports for growth," means that these countries should consume more.
As an accounting identity the trade surplus is equal to the the excess of national savings over national investment. As a practical matter, it is very difficult to change rates of investment. This means that the Post's complaint about Germany's trade surplus is a complaint about excessive savings and insufficient consumption. So, this sounds like the Post wants Germany to make its generous welfare state even more generous. It would be good if the Post's editors could learn a little economics so that they could at least figure out what they are sternly lecturing people to do.Add a comment

The Washington Post (a.k.a. Fox on 15th Street) is getting ever more aggressive in pushing its anti-welfare state agenda. A front page news article on the Greek financial crisis told readers that: "And though economists and other analysts generally agreed that the program was necessary to prevent a full-blown financial crisis, they also agreed that it won't work unless European governments follow through on promises to bring down their large deficits and restructure their economies to become more competitive."
It then added: "'We can't finance our social model anymore -- with 1 percent structural growth we can't play a role in the world,' European Council President Herman Van Rompuy said Monday in remarks at the World Economic Forum in Brussels, just hours after European Union finance ministers approved the new program."
In fact, there is nothing resembling the consensus about the failure of Europe's social model that this editorial implies. Unlike the United States, Europe as a whole has generally run balance of trade surpluses, suggesting that the European economies are more competitive than the U.S. economy. It is also worth noting that the welfare states in the countries facing crises right now (Greece, Portugal, Spain, and Ireland) rank among the weaker ones in Europe. The relatively healthy economies of France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the Scandanavian countries all have much stronger welfare states.
It's also worth noting how Europe and the world got into this crisis. The problems originated in letting housing bubbles grow unchecked and creating enormous economic imbalances. Apparently, news of the housing bubble still has not reached the Post.Add a comment

The NYT had a question and answer session to inform readers about the issues surrounding the Greek crisis. Unfortunately, the experts didn't get things quite right. Carmen Reinhart, an economic historian at the University of Maryland, told readers that: "Argentina's economy contracted 20 percent in 2001 after its default, as it was shut out of international markets for a time."
Actually, Argentina defaulted at the end of 2001. According to the IMF, it's economy then contracted 10.9 percent in 2002. It then turned around and grew at an average rate of almost 9.0 percent in the next five years. No one has such an optimistic set of projections for the Greek economy right now.

That is the only thing that readers of his column on the "death spiral" of the welfare state can conclude. After all, he notes the size of the budget deficits facing various European countries, but discusses them entirely in the context of their wlefare states. He apparently does not know that these countries all face severe downturns as a result of the collapse of housing bubbles in the United States and elsewhere. During recessions budget deficits always expand as tax collections fall and spending on items like unemployment insurance and other benefits rise.
Contrary to what Samuelson claims in this column. Most European countries have been willing to pay the taxes needed to support their welfare states. And this has not prevented them from maintaining rates of productivity growth (the long-term determinant of living standards) comparable to the United States.
The economic crisis caused by the collapse of the housing bubble does make sustaining the welfare state more difficult, just as it makes every other aspect of economic life more difficult. This points to the need to have more competent people setting monetary policy (unfortunately, none of the incompetent central bankers have been fired), but it does not provide insights into the viability of the welfare state, which is most needed in times of economic hardship.Add a comment

Paul Krugman rightly notes the enormous regulatory failure that allowed BP to drill in the Gulf without an emergency plan to deal with a spill. However, he misses part of the story when describing the problem as one of anti-government sentiment.
The government actually played a big role in this spill. Congress passed a law following the Exxon-Valdez spill in 1991 that restricted the liability of oil companies in these incidents to $75 million. There are estimates that the damage from this spill to the fishing and tourism industry in the region could exceed $100 billion. Would BP be as anxious to drill recklessly if it knew that it could be picking up this tab?
The problem is not just a failure of the government to regulate. The problem was a government policy that effectively expropriated property rights from the people in the region and gave BP and other would be polluters the right to do damage without providing compensation. We need government to do the right things, but as a first step, let's not have it actively intervene on the wrong side.Add a comment

Ross Douthat gave us a quick morality discussion about the growing numbers of children born out of wedlock. It might have helped to add some of the economic dimension to this story, both positive and negative. The positive is that economic opportunities for women have increased enormously over the last four decades. This means that many women who might have felt trapped in a bad or abusive marriage years ago now feel that they can survive on their own.
The negative side is that wages for most workers have stagnated for the last three decades as the bulk of the gains from productivity growth have gone to the most highly educated workers. Lower and insecure income places more stress on families and undoubtedly has been a factor in family breakups in many cases.
Okay, now we can go back to Douthat's morality story.Add a comment

The NYT tells us that there is "heightened public concern over spending." How does the NYT know this? What does it mean? Has the public checked the amount that we are spending in Afghanistan? Has it noted the cost of government payments to first-time homebuyers?
Does the public know that -- according to the methodology used by President Obama's administration -- each billion reduction in spending will lead to the loss of roughly 10,000 jobs? Therefore, according to the Obama administration's assessment, when Democrats in Congress claim that they are cutting spending (as claimed by Representative Chris Van Hollen in this blog post) they are making plans to throw people out of work.
It would be helpful if the NYT devoted more space to the meaning of policies rather than gossip about who says what.Add a comment
Markets are Fearful That U.S. Debt Is Unsustainable -- That is Why the Interest Rates on U.S. Bonds Fell
- Details
The folks who couldn't see an $8 trillion housing bubble are spouting off like crazy about what the Greek debt crisis means. The NYT told us that: "While the immediate causes for worry are Greece's ballooning budget deficit and the risk that other fragile countries like Spain and Portugal might default, the turmoil also exposed deeper fears that government borrowing in bigger nations like Britain, Germany and even the United States is unsustainable."
Fears that government borrowing in the United States is unsustainable should manifest themselves in higher interest rates on long-term government bonds. Unfortunately for this story, the interest rate on long-term government bonds fell last week. So, the NYT wants us to believe that investors are more fearful about the status of U.S. debt, but they were willing to hold it at lower interest rates?
Umm, no, this is a "night is day" line. The NYT is telling us something that it 180 degrees at odds with what we see in the world. There are large numbers of wealthy and politically powerful people who want to scare the public about the U.S. debt in order to advance their agenda of cutting Social Security and Medicare, but the events of last week point in the opposite direction. Investors still have great confidence in the ability of the U.S. government to pay its bills.
The theme of deficit hawks was further reinforced in the next paragraph which told readers:
"'Greece may just be an early warning signal,' said Byron Wien, a prominent Wall Street strategist who is vice chairman of Blackstone Advisory Partners. 'The U.S. is a long way from being where Greece is, but the developed world has been living beyond its means and is now being called to account.'"
The savings for the developed world as a whole is determined by its trade deficit or surplus with the developing world. The latter is determined primarily by currency values of the level of output in various countries. As a result of conscious policy by the United States and the IMF, the dollar rose sharply in value against the currencies of most developing countries in the late 90s (following the East Asian financial crisis). This laid the basis for the huge imbalances associated with the stock bubble and the housing bubble.
The complaint about inadequate savings belongs at the door of the U.S. Treasury and IMF. It was the explicit and intended result of their policies. The moral haranguing about people not saving enough is utter nonsense that belongs in gossip pages, not in a serious newspaper.

You get paid a really big premium for ignorance at the NYT, just ask Thomas Friedman who undoubtedly gets paid more than 99 percent of his generation. Thomas Friedman likes to tout the fact that there are still good paying jobs for people without skills in every column he writes.
He's in top form today, getting just almost everything wrong about the current economic situation as he tells readers: "My generation, 'The Baby Boomers,' turned out to be what the writer Kurt Andersen called 'The Grasshopper Generation.' We've eaten through all that abundance like hungry locusts."
Of course those who know anything about the economy know that the vast majority of baby boomers have not fared especially well. In the years before the baby boomers entered the workforce wages for most workers rose consistently between 1-2 percent a year, after adjusting for inflation. However wages began to stagnate in the mid-70s, when the oldest baby boomers were in their mid-twenties and the youngest were not yet teenagers. Baby boomers entered this labor market and most saw very little gain in living standards relative to what their parents had. Many had to go heavily into debt to buy and hold a home, to send their kids through college or to cover the cost of a serious illness.
There were gains in living standards during the last three decades, but they overwhelmingly went to the people at the top. This included the Wall Street crew, corporate executives, highly educated professionals, like doctors and lawyers, and elite columnists like Mr. Friedman. This was not an accident. These people designed economic policies that were intended to redistribute income upward. The government became openly hostile to unions. It pushed trade policies that made our factory workers compete with low-paid workers in Mexico and China while leaving our doctors and lawyers largely protected from the same sort of competition. The government also deregulated sectors like airlines, telecommunications, and trucking that offered good paying jobs for millions of workers without college degrees. The result of these and other deliberate policies was to ensure that most of the gains from productive growth went to those at the top rather than the vast majority of baby boomers.
Now the baby boom cohort is retiring. The vast majority have next to nothing to support themselves other than their Social Security. The vast majority of baby boomers do not have the defined benefit pensions that their parents did. They never had much money in 401(k) accounts and they lost much of what they did have in the stock crashes of 2000-2002 and 2008. More importantly, they lost most of their home equity, the major source of wealth for most families, with the collapse of the housing bubble.
We can blame the average auto worker, shoe salesperson and school teacher for not being smarter about the macroeconomy than Robert Rubin, Alan Greenspan, and other managers of economic policy, but the fact is that they made the mistake of listening to these people. They thought that stock prices and house prices would just keep rising forever. Sure, this was stupid, but Rubin, Greenspan and the rest were supposed to be really smart people, and it was their job to know the economy. Too bad Thomas Friedman was never smart enough to notice either the stock bubble or the housing bubble and to warn his readers.
Instead, Thomas Friedman wants to lecture us all about how we have been living too lavishly. We have to give up our Social Security and Medicare and accept lower living standards. This would be laughable except for the immense political power and the hundreds of billions of dollars that stand behind Friedman's agenda.
At the moment, the concern about deficits is painfully absurd. If only Friedman could learn the most elementary economics he would know that the economy's problem right now is too little spending, not too much. He probably hasn't noticed, but the unemployment rate is almost 10.0 percent. If we got frugal now, then the unemployment rate would go still higher -- of course that probably would not matter where Mr. Friedman lives.
Over the long-term we do face a problem with our broken health care system. This is the cause of our projected long-term budget problems. Of course fixing our health care system would hurt the health insurance industry, the pharmaceutical companies and highly paid medical specialists, so that is not on Mr. Friedman's agenda. Instead, he wants to tell school teachers and auto workers (both current and retired) that they have to tighten their belts. And, he gets paid big bucks for this.

Apparently our news stories are being written by people too young to remember the 90s and unable to find anyone with the competence to look up the data. The economy added 290,000 jobs in April. It is important to note that 66,000 of these jobs were temporary jobs associated with the 2010 census. There is nothing wrong with census jobs, but the point is that these are temporary and have nothing to do with the underlying strength of the economy. So, we can ignore that fact and boast about 290,000 jobs, but if we are then going to be consistent, we should be sure to ignore the loss of these temporary jobs in July and August.
Of course, ignoring that these are temporary jobs generated by the census would give us a poorer understanding of the economy, but would at least be consistent. What is not consistent is ignoring that these jobs are temporary now and then highlighting their loss in July and August. We'll see.
But, back to the fundamental issues. Is 290,000 jobs in a month (224,000 excluding the census jobs) strong job growth coming out of the worst downturn in 70 years. Well the economy created more than 250,000 jobs a month in the years from January 1996 to January 2000. If we adjust for the larger labor force, it generated 400,000 jobs a month for the year following the employment trough of the 74-75 recession and 420,000 jobs a month for the year following the 81-82 recession. Put another way, if we assume an underlying rate of growth of the labor force of 100,000 a month, then it will take 80 months (6 2/3 years) to make up the job deficit from the downturn at the current rate of job growth. Now, let's go celebrate!

The Washington Post (a.k.a. Fox on 15th Street) pulled out the stops in pushing its deficit reduction agenda today. Its news section includes a lengthy story on the euro crisis that makes things up in order advance the Post line about evil budget deficits.
It starts by misrepresenting the central problem: "and the currency that was designed to rival the U.S. dollar for power and influence is foundering because of a lack of fiscal discipline among its weakest members." While Greece's problems can be attributed in large part to a lack of fiscal discipline, this is clearly not the case with Spain and Ireland, both of whom had budget surpluses and low debt to GDP ratios prior to the downturn. Portugal is a more ambiguous case. The euro would not be facing a crisis if only Greece and Portugal, two relatively small economies, were facing difficulties.
The euro's problem stem from the fact that many economies across Europe were driven by a housing bubble. The European Central Bank (ECB), like the Fed, thought that bubbles were fun and opted to ignore the growth of dangerous housing bubbles in many countries.
For this reason, the sentence: "The euro, created 11 years ago, has always stood upon two unequal legs: a disciplined European Central Bank that has set interest rates for the entire monetary union and a wide variety of national budgets and economic policies ranging from prudent to profligate," could perhaps be more accurately written: "The euro, created 11 years ago, has always stood upon two unequal legs: an incompetent European Central Bank that has set interest rates for the entire monetary union and a wide variety of national budgets and economic policies ranging from prudent to profligate." Had the ECB done the proper job of a central bank it would have taken steps to pierce the bubble (which could have involved many measures other than raising interest rates) before it grew to such dangerous proportions.
It is worth noting that the Post consistently ignored the economists who warned of the dangers of the housing bubble in the build up to the crisis. It is continuing to ignore the bubble even after its collapse led to the worst economic crisis in 70 years.
The Post also gets the necessary remedies confused. It tells readers: "If Greece still had its own currency instead of being tethered to the euro zone, a sudden devaluation would have already slashed the value of the country's wages and benefits." Actually, the important point is not the absolute fall in Greece's wages and benefits, but rather their decline in value relative to those of other countries in Europe.
This is the key point, the issue is less the budget problems, but rather that the fixed exchange rate precludes and effective process of economic adjustment to a period of lower budget deficits. Because Greece and the other troubled countries are stuck in the euro zone, they can neither lower interest rates nor decrease the value of their currency to offset the contractionary impact of deficit reduction. As a result, deficit reduction can lead to a downward spiral in which lower output leads to a higher budget deficit, requiring further cuts, and therefore causing a further drop in output.Add a comment

The Washington Post devoted a whole article to the views of a delegation of "senior U.S. executives " selected by the American Chamber of Commerce in Beijing. These executives told readers that China's industrial policy was a far bigger concern than the value of its currency.
It is understandable that executives of U.S. corporations operating in China would argue this case. A drop in the dollar relative to the yuan will improve the U.S. trade situation for two reasons. First, it will make U.S. exports cheaper for buyers in China, leading them to buy more. Second, it will make Chinese imports more expensive for people in the United States, leading the U.S. to consume fewer goods from China and more domestically made goods.
The U.S. executives in China only care about the former effect. The latter effect -- the impact of a lower dollar on imports from China -- is likely to be the far more important one, since we import far more than we export. Rather than presenting the views of these executives as the simple truth about U.S. trade with China, the Post should have presented them as the views of a narrow interest group. It should have presented the views of independent experts or representatives of other groups to put these views in context.Add a comment

In an article on the Greek crisis, the Post noted that the European Central Bank (ECB) could: "use its essentially limitless ability to create money to stanch the crisis." It then added: "though doing so could hurt the long-term credibility of the central bank as an inflation fighter that does not yield to politics."
It is not clear how rescuing Europe's economy implies that the ECB had decided to "yield to politics." This is an invention by the Washington Post. Central banks are supposed to intervene to help economies in this sort of crisis, that is why governments create them. If the ECB fails to act to stem this crisis, when it obviously has the power, its reputation and Europe's economy will suffer serious consequences.Add a comment

Morning Edition ran a segment this morning telling us about the tragic plight of the poor doctors who don't know how much their reimbursements will be from Medicare next month. It gave us the doctors' perspective and also the perspective of a Medicare beneficiary who complained that she could not find doctors who are willing to work for Medicare's pay rate.
It would have been helpful to include the perspective of an economist who could have told listeners that physicians are the most highly paid profession. An economist also could have told listeners that our physicians are paid far more than doctors in countries like Germany and Canada, which is one reason that the U.S. health care system is so uncompetitive. An economist also could have discussed the protectionist measures that keep the pay of U.S. physicians so far above world levels.
Finally, an economist could have ridiculed the idea that physicians will en masse stop accepting Medicare patients. The logic is very simple. There is no large group of wealthy potential patients that is underserved now. In other words, wealthy people already have all the doctors that they need. This means that if the nations' physicians decide that they will not accept the 40 million Medicare beneficiaries then they will have no way to make up this lost income. They will have to get by on a lower income. The threat to just serve higher paying patients is nonsense.Add a comment

The Washington Post told readers that Freddie Mac needed an additional $10.6 billion from the government to cover its losses. The article never discusses the extent to which these losses are due to loans purchased before Freddie Mac was taken over by the government in September of 2008 or losses on loans purchased after this date.
This distinction is important because when Fannie and Freddie lose money, it means that they paid banks too much for the loans they purchased. If they paid too much for loans before they were taken over then this was presumably the result of bad business decisions. However, if they lose money on loans purchased after September of 2008, then the government is effectively subsidizing banks by paying too much money for their loans. This was the original intention of the TARP program.
Taxpayers have a right to know if Fannie and Freddie are being used to subsidize banks by overpaying for their loans. The Post and other news outlets should be trying to answer this question.Add a comment

A front page Washington Post article told readers that: "The basic problem in Greece, and in the other struggling European countries, is that the government debts have grown as large, or nearly as large, as the gross domestic product, making the government's repayment difficult, if not impossible. The countries' imperiled finances, meanwhile, push up the rates at which they can borrow. (emphasis added)"
This is the sort of assertion that belongs on the editorial pages, not in a news story. There have been and are many countries with considerably higher ratios of debt to GDP than Greece than manage to borrow in financial markets without major problems. The more obvious problem with Greece is that it is in the euro.
This means that when it make budget cutbacks to reduce its deficit, it leads to large falls in domestic output. It has no ability to counteract these declines with expansionary monetary policy or a devaluation that will increase its net exports by making Greece more competitive. Greece's budget austerity therefore risks putting it in a downward spiral, where budget cutbacks further depress GDP, leading to a larger budget shortfall, requiring further cutbacks. Washington Post reporters should understand this situation.Add a comment

That is what readers of this election eve article must assume. The bubble and its collapse are not mentioned once in an article that tells readers how the citizens of the UK will have to sacrifice in the years ahead. Remarkably, one of the people who is cited as an authority on this topic is Mervyn King. Mr. King, as the head of the Bank of England is the person who is most responsible for the country's economic devastation. Like Alan Greenspan in the United States, King just sat back as the housing bubble in the UK grew to ever more dangerous levels. While the collapse and the resulting economic damage were totally predictable, Mr. King chose to do nothing to prevent this catastrophe.
The economic collapse following in the wake of the housing crash is the main source of the country's current fiscal problems, not profligate spending, as the piece implies.Add a comment

The NYT told readers that the White House is opposed to an amendment to the financial reform bill by Senator Bernie Sanders that calls for an audit of the Federal Reserve Board because they: " view it as an encroachment on the central bank's traditional independence." While this may be the real reason that the White House opposes the bill, there may also be other motives. For example, it is possible that the Fed disbursed funds from its emergency facilities in ways that would be embarrassing if more widely known.
The NYT only knows that the White House says. It does not know its true motives. It should have simply told readers that the White House "claims" that it views an audit as interfering with the Fed's independence.Add a comment

Casey Mulligan is on the loose again. The notorious University of Chicago economist is arguing that there was no housing bubble in the NYT Economix section. The centerpiece of his argument is that inflation-adjusted house prices have not returned to their pre-bubble level. This means that the price rise must be driven by the fundamentals of the housing market rather than an irrational bubble.
It's hard to know where to begin on this one. I guess the first point would be that he is using the wrong series to find anything about the bubble. He is using the new house price series from the Census Bureau. This series controls for neither quality nor location. If the price of all homes doubled, but the price of new homes built further from city centers remained the same, this index would show no increase in prices. This is why almost everyone in this debate uses one of the repeat sales indices, such as the FHFA House Price Index or the Case Shiller national housing index.
Of course the good part of the story is that Mulligan's case would hold even more strongly with these indices (they are further above their pre-bubble level), but it is important that we at least look at the right picture. The NY Fed put out a paper back in 2004 claiming that there was no bubble, the only problem was that people like me were using the wrong price index.
But, let's get back to the issue at hand. House prices have certainly not deflated to their pre-bubble level. They are about 15-20 percent higher in real terms. Why is this the case?
I would point out three factors that may have escaped Professor Mulligan's attention. First, until last Friday the government had an $8,000 first time homebuyers tax credit. This is a bit less than 5 percent of the median house price. Even at the University of Chicago an $8,000 tax credit would be expected to have an upward effect on house prices.
The second factor is that we have had extraordinarily low mortgage interest rates. The weakness of the economy and the Fed's policy of buying $1.25 trillion in mortgage-backed securities pushed the 30-year mortgage rate below 5.0 percent. Interest rates are at their lowest levels since the early 50s. Again, even at the University of Chicago, low interest rates would be expected to have a positive effect on house prices. We might see a different picture if interest rates creep up to near 6.0 percent over the next year, as they are widely expected to do.
The third factor unusual affecting house prices in the last year was the expanded role of the Federal Housing Authority (FHA). The FHA guaranteed almost 30 percent of purchase mortgages in 2009. Many of these homebuyers would not have been able to get a mortgage without the government's support. Again, even at the University of Chicago they probably think that government guarantees for mortgages will have a positive effect on house prices. It is worth noting that the FHA is rapidly cutting back its role because it lost lots of money and is now below its minimum capital requirement.
Finally, real house prices are falling -- currently at a rate of between 0.5-1.0 percent a month. Economists generally do not expect to see instantaneous price adjustments, so it should not be surprising if it takes another year or two for house prices to get to a stable level, once the bubble has fully deflated. (Over-correction is a real risk.)
So, if anyone thought that the housing bubble would immediately deflate and bring prices back to their fundamental level -- in spite of massive efforts by the government to prop up prices -- then Professor Mulligan has the evidence to show that they were wrong. But for everyone else, this piece is probably not very enlightening.

And they said it was impossible. The Post followed the NYT in calling for an independent agent to pick which credit rating agency will rate a company's issues. This is the obvious and simple way to fix the basic conflict of interest involved when the company pays the rater. If the company has no control over who gets hired, then the rating agency has no incentive to lie in its assessment.
Congress was running around in circles genuflecting over various non-solutions to this problem. However, in the last couple of weeks there seems to have been an outbreak of commonsense, no doubt fueled by a Krugman column pushing the idea. I also have been pushing this one for a while, although my megaphone is not as big.Add a comment

Fishermen expressed frustration about gear restrictions, closures, and potentially infected fish.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game is announcing some unanticipated commercial openings in the Norton Sound region amid stronger-than-expected chum salmon runs.
With Chinook harvests shut down and summer chum harvests are on the rise, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game is starting a chum tracking program to keep on eye on fish in the river.
High water is combining with gear restrictions to restrict subsistence fishing along the Yukon River.
As subsistence fishermen and state fishery managers anticipate the worst Chinook run on record, tight fishing restrictions have some subsistence fishermen saying they can't catch summer chums.

Yves Saint Laurent is jumping on the multitasking makeup bandwagon with this version of a combo lip and cheek product, and their contribution is good!
Baby Doll Kiss & Blush comes in a container that looks like a nail polish bottle, with a small screw-top wand. The wand has a small sponge tip that you can use to directly put this product on your lips or cheeks.
What makes this interesting is its texture: it's not a liquid or gel, but a lightweight cream with a feel we'd describe as "powdery." This texture makes sweeping it across cheeks very easy, and prevents a splotchy application.
Just a few dots applied onto cheeks results in a sheer, pretty, matte flushed look that can be built up with more product for stronger color. This sets to a powder finish that lasts throughout a work day, and works just as well applied over makeup as it does on a bare face.
This also works well as a lip product, though it's not nearly as long-lasting. It feels light on lips and has an attractive soft matte finish. It does fade away after only a couple of hours and isn't particularly moisturizing, though it's not drying, either. This combo product also comes in an attractive range of colors which work on very fair to medium-dark skin tones.
The only true drawback is that it contains a small amount of fragrance, which isn't good for skin because fragrance is a source of irritation. While this does fade after about an hour of wear time, it isn't necessary in what otherwise is a standout product.
Yves Saint Laurent At-A-Glance
Strengths: Every sunscreen includes avobenzone for sufficient UVA protection; some moisturizers with elegant textures; good makeup removers and toners; Radiant Touch is a favorite for good reason; intriguing blushes; two fantastic mascaras; very good liquid highlighter; innovative gloss/stain lip products.
Weaknesses: Expensive; no AHA or BHA products; no products to manage acne or combat skin discolorations; mostly mundane moisturizers and serums; pervasive use of jar packaging; antiwrinkle claims that epitomize ridiculous, yet cost hundreds of dollars; mostly average foundations; eyeshadow quads; mostly average lipstick and gloss options.
We have never reviewed an expensive cosmetics line with the intent of criticizing it based on the price tags alone. Our standard for reviewing all cosmetics remains the same whether the prices are rock bottom or stratospheric. What cannot be denied is that there are many consumers who just refuse to give up the notion that, in terms of cosmetics, expensive means better. If you're one of those consumers you may have been curious about our take on Yves Saint Laurent's makeup, which by far outshines their skin care.
In the past, as we surveyed the other French-themed lines at the department store (including Lancome, Chanel, Dior, and Guerlain), YSL almost always came in last, barely stepping up to the plate to compete in any category. Lately, we've been pleasantly surprised to find several impressive products, along with some needed improvements for many of their previously lackluster options (whose price-to-performance ratio was depressingly low). YSL still isn't the French line to set your sights on and fill your makeup bag with, but there are enough positives to make a trip to their counter worthwhile, assuming that your budget extends far enough to comfortably afford these items. (Even the best products from this line have less-expensive counterparts, but if you're label-conscious, you should know what to focus on.)
What's not so great is the lack of sufficient UVA protection in products with sunscreen, or SPF ratings that are too low given what we know about the need for a sufficient level of daily sun protection. Adding sunscreen to many of the foundations and lip products was a smart move, but doing so without getting the basics right doesn't get a passing grade. Most of the mascaras are surprisingly average also, yet on the other hand the foundation and powder shade selections have improved considerably. It's this off-kilter blend of outstanding and boring products coupled with steep prices all around that earn this line an "approach with caution" statement. However, careful shopping from YSL will undoubtedly net you some wonderful products you'll be pleased with, at least until the credit card bill comes due!
When it comes to skin care, Yves Saint Laurent relies heavily on its fashion heritage to convince consumers to give these products more than a passing glance. Based on the formulas and outlandish prices, we see no reason for anyone to admire, let alone purchase, most of the skin-care products this brand sells. The claims are nothing short of ridiculous, especially for any YSL product designed to minimize wrinkles or stop sagging. It's good that all of the sunscreens provide broad-spectrum protection, but the cost means you'll be replacing them quickly (if you're being diligent about liberal application, as you should be) and, of course, all of them contain wafting fragrance. The moisturizers are much less impressive, but carry some of the most too-good-to-be-true claims imaginable. None of what they're said to do in terms of wrinkles, skin regeneration, firming, and sculpting skin is the least bit reliable, though many of the moisturizers have luxurious textures.
What's missing is a focused approach to provide skin with what it really needs to thrive and remain healthy. Some of the basics are covered, but antioxidants are seemingly an afterthought, water-binding agents and skin-identical substances are mostly lacking, and once again fragrance takes precedence over advanced ingredients with substantiated research to support their use. If your skin-care routine must involve a designer brand, you'd be better off shopping Chanel and only considering YSL for the makeup products they have that, cost notwithstanding, are worthy of the attention they get in, where else, fashion magazines.

Although I first had this "messy" dessert in Australia, it is an old English dessert first served at Eton College. It is best put together at the last minute but the components can be made ahead. You can buy meringues or make them a few days in advance. Instead of whipped cream I often use vanilla bean ice cream or strawberry sorbet (preferably Gelato Fresco) or a combination of both. Use juicy seasonal fruits like cherries, berries, peaches, plums or nectarines.

Mercedes Benz is one of the most recognized and respected luxury car makers in the world. Unsurprisingly, Mercedes cars don't come cheap, so knowing what to look for when you buy is key to making the right choice when it comes to your new luxury car.
Decide whether to go new or used, depending on your budget and the amount of value depreciation you're willing to accept. The Mercedes brand has a fairly high level of depreciation once off the lot, but if you plan to hold on to your brand new Mercedes you don't really need to worry. If you're thinking about replacing the Mercedes within a few years, then take a look at the used market before you buy.
Check out the warranty that the car comes with, especially for used Mercedes models. The new cars all come with comprehensive warranties that include annual services. However, make sure that the dealership provides "loaner" cars in case you have to get something repaired that's covered by the warranty. With the used cars, take a careful look at the warranty since getting a car that's still covered adds considerable value.
Think carefully about the kind of driving you do and the driving environment of your area. While Mercedes are tough cars mechanically, body work on them is notoriously expensive. So if you live in a place where roads are narrow and drivers are aggressive, you might consider going with one of the everyday Mercedes models like the E-class.
Scope out the dealership and specialized mechanics in your area before you buy. If you're covered by warranty this is less of a concern. If you're not, then you should be aware that Mercedes require a higher level of service and also require parts that are considerably more expensive than similar parts for less luxurious cars.

Members of the cast and creative team of the new Broadway musical Big Fish will gather at the 92nd Street Y for a discussion of the show on November 24 at 7:30pm. Directed by Susan Stroman (The Producers) and starring Norbert Leo Butz (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels), Big Fish recently had its official opening at the Neil Simon Theatre.
Andrew Lippa, Big Fish's composer, will appear alongside stars Kate Baldwin and Bobby Steggert. Also joining them will be Daniel Wallace, who wrote the original novel that the musical of Big Fish is based on. Furthermore, they will be joined by Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen, who served as producers on both Tim Burton's 2003 film adaptation and the Broadway musical, and screenwriter John August.
Together this panel will discuss Big Fish's journey from book to film to stage. The evening will also include musical performances by Baldwin and Steggert, who play Sandra Bloom and Will Bloom in the Broadway show.
Big Fish is about traveling salesman Edward Bloom, a man who lives a wildly colorful life, which he recounts in thrilling stories that he shares with everyone around him. But as he is readying to be a father himself, Edward's son Will decides to discover the truth behind his dad's tall tales.
To get tickets (which are as low as $29) to see the Big Fish discussion at the 92nd Street Y, go to www.92y.org.

Johnson Service has toasted the first sales growth at its dry-cleaning business for years, following a restructuring that saw it exit 100 unprofitable stores in the past 12 months.
This helped the group, which generates the majority of its revenues from the renting of workplace clothing to the food industry, reaffirm its 2012 profits would be line with City expectations.
Its executive chairman John Talbot said: "It is very encouraging to see that our dry-cleaning estate has shown like-for-like growth in sales which, while modest, is the first such increase for a number of years."
The group now has 360 Johnson Cleaners stores, and its biggest operation is Johnsons Apparelmaster.
It estimates net debt at the year end was less than £59m.
Shares in Johnson Service, which also owns the luxury dry-cleaner Jeeves of Belgravia, yesterday rose 1.5p to 38.5p.
Analysts expect the company's pre-tax profits to have grown 5 per cent to £15.8m in the year that ended in December.

Sorry I worded my potential example badly. I meant a case where the DTD/Schema defined a default attribute that was a xmlns attribute that was then discarded from the c14n when the namespace wasn't actually used anywhere. But thinking about it, the c14n would still be valid as the xmlns attribute is a default so will get added back in on parse with DTD. So ignore it - apologies, random thought gone wrong.

It was founded in 1834 as the University of Saint Vladimir, and since then it has changed its name several times. During the Soviet Union era, Taras Shevchenko University was one of the top-three universities in the USSR, along with Moscow State University and Leningrad State University. It is ranked as the best university in Ukraine in many rankings (see below).

Nonsensical Musing
Tick tock goes the watch,
Or so I
Have been told.
But what does the tick tock mean? It tries to resemble the
sound; but it is not the sound.
And yet we all know that
Tick Tock
Means the sound of the hands on a face.
Why is r-e-d the colour?
Red; bright and fiery, what do these letters
Mean to the colour?
Did the colour agree to be branded with such a
word; which, in itself, holds so much meaning.
And yet it is red and we know this.
And then, how does one know when
They speak to another; that it is liking they feel,
Or disliking?
What makes us know the difference
And act upon it?
These words are dust and shadow,
They are firm and hard.
Words are everything and
To comprehend such a thing
Certainly hurts my head.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - July 10, 1997, New Braunfels, Texas . .. CX. group sees museum in lake's future Obituary By DAVID DEKUNDER Staff Writer CANYON LAKE — A group flying to build a museum that would highlight the history of the Canyon Lake area hopes to get to work as soon as it comes to terms with the Canyon Lake Chamber of Commerce. Joyleen Dodson, president of the Heritage Museum of the Texas Hill Country Association, said the association was waiting for the chamber to approve a lease agreement that would allow the museum to be built on the chamber's property on FM 2673 west of Saltier. "They are working out an agreement," Dodson said. Charles Stephens ll, an attorney and a chamber board member, said he would work with the board and chamber president Ed Wetzel on an agreement pertaining to the museum. Stephens said he hoped to have an agreement drafted by next month's board meeting. "We should have an agreement before then and hopefully something approved, and get something the chamber can go with," Stephens said. He said the chamber board of directors would look at it carefully, and it could as late as September before the chamber approves any agreement with the museum association. Whether August or September, Dodson said he just wanted to get the ball rolling on the museum project "We are first going to start with an outdoor museum," Dodson said. "We are looking at farm equipment, looking at possibly an Indian village and a corral — everything which occurred from the early settlers." Grand jury indictments Wednesday .A San Antonio man was indicted by a Comal County grand jury Wednesday for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. John Corley, 37, of San Antonio allegedly used his vehicle to run over a man from Canyon Lake on May 31 at Hunter Road and Farm-to-Market 306. The victim survived being hit District attorney's office spokeswoman Nancy Filkins said Corley and the victim apparently had a verbal dispute before Corley hit him with the car. Tubing Other grand jury indictments were: ■ John Mata, 41, San Antonio, theft over $1,500 less than $20,000. ■ Josie Aguilar, 19, 935 IH 35 N., forgery. ■ Rolando Menendez, 26, Mexico, unauthorized use of a vehicle. ■ Albert Estrada, 31, 465 Wright possession of cocaine. ■ Brian Bookout, 24, Austin, possession of a controlled substance — mushrooms. ■ Christine Hamilton, 31, German settlers first started settling the area in the 1840s when it was farmland on the banks of the Guadalupe River. Dodson said the museum would be built as resources and funds permitted. "We want to start with a few implements and gradually build on that," she said. "We won't start out big, we will start out small and eventually grow." In the next several years, Dodson said he envisioned an indoor museum that would tell the story of the creation of Canyon Lake and the dam in the 1960s. "We foresee that," she said. "We .hope to get into modern times because today's happenings are tomorrow's history." The association had its first fund* raiser last year, a fashion style show Houston, possession of a controlled substance — mushrooms. ■ Richard Nanez, 29, Lake Jackson, possession of a controlled substance — mushrooms. ■ Alison Carter, 33, Houston, possession of a controlled substance — mushrooms. , ■ James Vowel!, 39, San Antonio, burglary habitation — 4 counts and burglary of a building. • A total of 20 indictments on 21 counts were handed out to 15 individuals. at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8800 in Startzvifte. Dodson said the museum association would hold a similar event Nov. 18 at the VFW 8800 Post. The; Heritage Museum of the Texas Hill Country Association was formed in 1995 when it received its charter from the state of Texas. Currently there are seven members on its board of directors. Wetzel said the chamber was doing all it could to support the museum. "We did agree st the meeting (last week), contingent on an agreement being drawn up, they could put the museum on chamber property," Wetzel said. "The chamber is much interested in the heritage museum as hi anything because that is the history of the area."On the agenda An ordinance that would establish procedures and permits for horse drawn carriages in the city of New Braunfels will be discussed at the Transportation and Traffic Advisory Board at 7:30 p.m. today at the Municipal Building, 424 South Casten Avenue. The board will conduct a public hearing for citizens' input on whether an ordinance is needed or not. The board will meet in Municipal Building Meeting Room D. TImms Gam Jr. Funeral arrangements are pending at Zoeller Funeral Home for Thomas Garza, Jr. of New Braunfels. He died Wednesday July 9, 1997, in San Antonio at the age of 28 years.

"If a hospital is port of a church-supported health care system, the system has the ability to subsidize hospitals in the chain that might lose money in the short term," Sorensen said One possible negative is that ethical and moral positions of the church may enter into health care decisions. "Specifically relating to abortion and end-of life-services, church-supported hospitals may not offer a full range of health care," Sorensen said. "This is particularly critical in smaller communities with only one hospital available." The primary advantage of a not-for-profit hospital such as McKenna is derived from its tax status and not having to pay income taxes on its revenue. A not-for-profit is required by law to return the money it does not use to service its debt to provide services for the community, such as preventative health and immunization programs," Sorensen said. "A for-profit hospital returns its profits to its stockholders," McKenna President and CEO Johnny Johnson said he was proud of his hospital's successes, but the hospital isn't resting on its laurels. "It is always a trouble area just keeping the doors open," Johnson said. "Weare always looking for ways to improve."Recently Moved?Getting (tarried? New Baby? Give us a calif WORD." Murphy said she believes an agreement can be worked out soon. "I think it shouldn't take too terribly long," she said. "We have a pretty good draft going.

So North they headed.
They trudged forward steadily over the increasingly rocky terrain. Every ten minutes or so, Glen checked the bearings on his small metal compass. There was no path to be seen, but he was sure they were going in the right direction.
Late afternoon faded, and turned to dusk. When the stars came out, they made camp near a large gorse path. The rocky ground was uncomfortable, but if tired enough, one can sleep in anywhere.
Thinking this over, Shira decided that she was not, in fact, tired enough. Pebbles were digging into her back, and the lack of a pillow was all too obvious to her. Glen was already asleep under his blankets.
"What do you think Alabaster will be like?" she whispered, to see if he would wake. Glen slept on.
After several minutes of trying to get comfortable, Shira drifted off to sleep.
The morning dawned damp and cold. Shira was as stiff as could be, and the meager rations for breakfast did nothing to lift her grey mood. However, she was careful not to complain. She didn't want Glen to think she couldn't take this, and Glen had made no such comments on the rainy weather or the uncomfortableness of the rocks.
"How far do you think we have to go?" Shira asked as they shouldered their packs and set off. It was 8:00.
"We covered about three miles yesterday," Glen calculated. "We can probably get to Alabaster around, oh, one thirty-ish if we don't take many breaks, or the hills don't get steeper."
As they hiked, the ground got less rocky. The looming grey boulders of before gave way to small, round pebbles of a clear, white hue. Pebbles crunched under their feet as they wallked.
Glen's calculations were correct. It was twelve thirty, when, standing on the top of a high hill, for the land rolled underneath them like frozen waves, that they saw, over the crests of several hills, the city of Alabaster.
They reached the city an hour later. Shira huffed and puffed as they went down the last descent, which led them to the city's doors. The walls of the city gleamed a shimmering white, looking a bit like porclain. Shira and Glen stared in awe at the glistening city.
As they stepped through the opened gates, there was an abnormal silence. They had expected a bustling city. But no. There was not a single person in the streets, and the windows of all the houses were shuttered.
Glen cautiously led the way into the ostensibly deserted city. A fountain in a square burbled slowly, choking every so often on the water. Glen noticed something gleaming at the bottom of it.
"Glen!" Shira said. "Look!" She pointed down an alley, towards the brown cloaked figure running hastily away from them.

The Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program and Partial Hospitalization Program (IOP, PHP) consists of specialized group therapy sessions led by clinical therapists. Our goal is to improve participant's well-being by assisting in building healthy relationships, satisfying daily activity, and improved ability to positively manage their emotional state.
The IOP and PHP programs primarily serve people with mood and anxiety disorders such as major depression, bipolar disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder. The program also accepts participants with other disorders such as schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who are already stabilized on medication.
Programs for Teens and Adults. Accepts Medi-Cal and most insurances.
ASPIRE (for teens and young adults)
The eight-week Transitional Age Youth (TAY) Program is designed for young adults between 18 and 25 years old. The program meets four days a week and offers intensive outpatient care. Participants learn healthy living strategies and develop academic and career skills, as well as academic skills. The comprehensive treatment team includes a psychiatrist, clinical psychologist and/or marriage and family therapist, registered nurse, and an occupational therapist. The program is available at the Los Gatos campus.
2nd Story (must be a County Client)
2nd Story is a six-bed house which serves as a respite and a voluntary opportunity for individuals to learn to use relationships to move out of old roles and patterns. They offer a maximum stay of 6 days in a home environment, and provides guests with opportunities to identify and plan for changes they feel will benefit them once they have returned home. All former guests are offered ongoing telephone support, and are welcome to visit when they need encouragement from their peers and Second Story staff.
Program participants also have opportunities to enroll in Intentional Peer Support training and learn to be of assistance to others.Staffed by "peers," (people with lived experience of mood swings, consuming fears, voices, visions), the household provides an opportunity to experience what change feels like, and to learn new responses through relationships with each other.
Second Story is not a substitute for psychiatric hospitalization. Those who are drawn to the program develop, with staff, ahead of time, a plan for dealing with feelings and behaviors that in the past have led to inpatient stays.
For more information, call Second Story at (831) 466-0967

Andrew Cuomo...
... may be in some deep trouble...
...let's hope, because he skated on the mortgage meltdown.
In case, you've forgotten:
//Andrew Cuomo, the youngest Housing and Urban Development secretary in history, made a series of decisions between 1997 and 2001 that gave birth to the country's current crisis. He took actions that—in combination with many other factors—helped plunge Fannie and Freddie into the subprime markets without putting in place the means to monitor their increasingly risky investments. He turned the Federal Housing Administration mortgage program into a sweetheart lender with sky-high loan ceilings and no money down, and he legalized what a federal judge has branded "kickbacks" to brokers that have fueled the sale of overpriced and unsupportable loans. Three to four million families are now facing foreclosure, and Cuomo is one of the reasons why.
What he did is important—not just because of what it tells us about how we got in this hole, but because of what it says about New York's attorney general, who has been trying for months to don a white hat in the subprime scandal, pursuing cases against banks, appraisers, brokers, rating agencies, and multitrillion-dollar, quasi-public Fannie and Freddie.//

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - July 26, 1985, New Braunfels, Texas Entertainment Harald-Zeltung Friday, July 26, 1985 10A Heritage Chorale will be featured at park concert Next week's performance in the Parks and Recreation Department's 1985 Concerts-in-the-Park series — at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday on the dance slab in Landa Park — will produce several first time events as well as at least one second time event. For one thing, it will be the first time that the Heritage Chorale community chorus (which usually has performed many-styled but mainly classical choral music in formal spring and fall indoor concerts) is to be the featured performer. Other first aspects are that this will be the Chorale's first summertime concert, first outdoor performance, and first program that contains no music in a language other than English. This program, in fact, is made up entirely of American patriotic music, both old and new. The tunes are mostly rousing ones that all Americans know and love to hear (included are Stephen Foster songs and a special version of Yellow Rose of Texas), but they will be performed with Chorale's usual insistence on fine quality singing and musical performance, Chorale officials noted. The conductor will be C. Richard Morns, the Chorale's Director for the last three of its six years of ex-sistence, while the accompanist will also be the regular one — the very accomplished Jo Ann Lemmon, playing a piano furnished expressly for this outdoor event (and that may well be another first for this concert series). Especially interesting is another first: the Heritage Chorale's first public singing of country' stlye music — in a Fred Waring square dance number. This leads right into the second time event for this concert: the square dance song will simultaneously be performed and by some of the Toby's School of Dance dancers who so very' much pleased the audience at the July 16 Concert-in-the-Park, which was put on by them and other local dance companies. Now entering its seventh year after having been founded as a choral supplement to the annual November Wurstfest, the Chorale has become a Hill Country all-music-style. all age. high-quality-performance community chorus — performing at least twice a year — that seeks to preserve as much as possible of the area's thriving German Saengerbund traditions while recognizing other local heritages as well. Based six years of solid foundation provided by the leadership of local physician, arts promoter, and former Chorale President Dr. Fred Frueholz, Jr. and continuing under the direction of C. Richard Morris, the accompanist, of pianist Jo Ann Lemmon, and the administration of 1985 President Dorothy B. Johnson, the Chorale is also continuing to try to help channel inevitable future community arts growth into another long-standing American cutural arts pattern. This is one emphasizing quality performance of all music while singing British and American music in English, Italian music in Italian, Spanish music in Spanish. German music in German, etc. Another aim is to include in most programs music that is sacred, secular, classical, popular, and novelty. The local audience for this shows signs of growing and all interested singers are urged now to come enjoy sharing their talents with the group to this purpose Many — but far from all — of the present members of the Chorale have exceptional singing voices, but the desired quality seems to be achieved mostly by a combination of insightful instruction, an outstanding accompanist. and careful forts to blend voices No one is required to pass an audition to sing w ith the Chorale Further information is available from Dorothy Johnson at 625-5321.

Published: 2013-09-03, by Peter Warrior.
When Ubisoft released Prince of Persia Classic, we highlighted two flaws: the lack of PoP 2 and the "lost chance". Well, the former has been superlatively fulfilled and here it is just a couple of taps away. The latter isn't, even though there have been several changes regarding swordmanship and there's an in-game shop to buy new sabers, scimitars or falchions. Of course, it's an awesome game, supports twelve languages and there's a new achievement system to keep you playing for weeks, so it's most likely that you are already downloading it by the time you're reading this.
As it happened in the first part of the series, kind of old players will be able to appeal to their deepest memories and remind every step and every jump. This new version seems a little bit easier, though, but it's also true that the original was extremely difficult to beat.
And now, what will Ubisoft do? Shall it dare to raise Prince of Persia 3D and complete the original trilogy? Will it keep it as it was without adding not even a pinch of newness?

Buca is considered one of the top Italian restaurants in Toronto. The food is modern, beautiful and very delicious. Their stunning Yorkville restaurant is located in the Four Seasons courtyard on the north side. Try to sit near the kitchen or at the bar if you really want to see the action. Go early if you don't like noise. We like to order for the table and share. And don't miss their beet cocktail.

This is an Apple Pie recipe pie plate, baker, or pan, by Royal China in their Country Harvest line. The pan is 11" wide and 2" deep. Royal made these pie plates with a few different backstamps depending on when they were made. At one point Royal was owned by Jeannette Glass, and so some pie plates have a Jeannette Mark in addition to the Royal and Country Harvest marks. Royal China ceased operations in 1986. This apple pie baker is dated 1983. It is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. Please see my other items for more Royal recipe pie plates.
