And the Emmy goes to…NBC's "Travel Café St. Moritz"!
The Engadin Valley, one of the most spectacular regions in the world, deserves an Emmy alone just for its beauty. Last Saturday night the unthinkable happened. This stunning region won its first Emmy, even though they were up against their worst competition in the category of best entertainment programming, the Emmys themselves! This is the second time that a program in the U.S. featuring Switzerland as a travel destination receives the coveted TV Oscar! The show, hosted by Chuck Henry, was produced in close cooperation with Destination Engadin/St. Moritz.

Steve Martin Performing with the Steep Canyon Rangers
The first of two acts will consist of pieces by composers such as Tchaikovsky, Danny Elfman, Elton John, Hans Zimmer and Lebo M. Mauceri will narrate and put into context not just the history of each composer's works but also its use as inspiration for the films in which it appears. Simultaneously, other elements will give a glimpse into the creative process: choral vocals, and costume designs and production renderings from famous live-action films combine to create a multi-dimensional experience.
Iconic comedian, actor, author and songwriter Steve Martin makes a very special appearance at Walt Disney Concert Hall to perform songs from his new album, The Crow: New Songs for the Five-String Banjo, which currently sits at the top of the Billboard Bluegrass Album Chart. This performance follows his recent sell out at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry. Martin won a Grammy for his collaboration with Earl Scruggs on Foggy Mountain Breakdown in 2001, and was recently nominated for 6 International Bluegrass Music Awards.
Reinventing the "radio play" of the past, the second act will consist of a never-before-seen (or heard) approach to the classic animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. This symphonic retelling will include live narration and vocals, along with edits of the original orchestrations from the film's famous tunes and underscoring. In a setting appropriate for the entire family, the reading will be fun, casual and light-hearted – and will shed a completely new light on one of Disney's most famous classics.

Beet, Avocado and Goat Cheese Salad
Be the first to review
READY IN: 1hr 40mins
Recipe by hollyfrolly
My new favorite salad. For those of you who are afraid of beets (like I was until just recently!) this is the salad for you to experiment with.... The earthiness of the beets is balanced soooo nicely by the goat cheese, balsamic and honey. Throw in the avocado and dried fruit and what you have is ridiculous deliciousness!!!! So, so, so darn good. *Original recipe adapted from a recipe found on recipegirl. AND....**Cooking time includes time to roast and cool beets.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons shallots, minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1⁄3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 6 medium beets, roasted and quartered
- 6 cups arugula (baby spinach or salad greens work well too)
- 1⁄2 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
- 1⁄4 cup dried cranberries or 1⁄4 cup dried cherries or 1⁄4 cup dried blueberries
- 1⁄2 avocado, large, peeled, pitted and sliced thinly
- 3 ounces goat cheese, fresh, soft, and crumbled
Directions See How It's Made
- Scrub beets to remove all excess dirt and dry with clean cloth. Moderately coat the beets in extra virgin olive oil and wrap individually in foil.
- Roast beets in 350 degree oven for approximately 1 hour.
- While beets are roasting, prepare dressing by combining all ingredients, whisking and setting aside for flavors to meld.

- Remove beets from oven, remove foil and place in bowl to cool~ approximately 30-45 minutes.
- Rub olive oil into hands and with a pairing knife, peel beets. The juice will stain your hands if you do not continue to rub hands down with oil, or wear gloves.
- Quarter the beets- or if they are large, slice into 1 inch chunks and reserve.
- Prepare salad by combining salad greens of choice, beets and avocado with a small amount of dressing. Continue to add dressing to your liking.

Baked Pork Chops and Rice
Top Review by Cindy Lynn
These were absolutely delicious! I cut the meat down to half as I was only cooking for four, but used the full recipe for everything else. Even my non-Pork eating daughter ate the rice (she grumbled before hand that it wasn't going to be plain rice). My husband raved about how good this was, and I just had to agree. My third daughter stopped in while we were eating and she had to have some too! This is definitely a keeper. It was quick to put together. The chops were moist and melt in your mouth tender! Thanks for sharing, Dancer^!

Nottinghamshire spinner Graeme Swann finished with 5-54 to wrap up a comfortable win in the first Test of England´s four match series in South Africa.
South Africa resumed on 76-6 after Swann and Broad ripped through their top order and both players struck in the final session.
Just 75 minutes were needed to wrap up the victory with Swann trapping Steyn lbw.
Broad´s match figures of 6-87 weren´t quite enough to deny Swann the man of the match award.

Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch has won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction.
The history award was given to Alan Taylor's The Internal Enemy, and general nonfiction on Monday went to Dan Fagin's Toms River.
Megan Marshall's Margaret Fuller won for biography and Vijay Seshadri's 3 Sections received the poetry prize.
Annie Baker's The Flick has won the Pulitzer for drama, a play set in a run-down movie theatre that was hailed by the judges as a "thoughtful drama with well-crafted characters" with "lives rarely seen on the stage."
The Columbia University's prize board on Monday gave the playwright, who is in her early 30s, the prize for her play about friendship, morality and loyalty. The university said it was "a hilarious and heart-rending cry for authenticity in a fast-changing world."
It played off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons last year, becoming divisive among critics and the public alike. Many admired its attempt to capture real life but others found it tediously long.
But it was The Washington Post and The Guardian, which won the Pulitzer Prize in public service. They revealed the US government's sweeping surveillance efforts in stories based on thousands of secret documents handed over by National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden.
The Pulitzer for breaking news has been awarded to The Boston Globe for its coverage of the deadly Boston Marathon bombing.
The awards, announced on Monday, are American journalism's highest honour.
In The Flick, three relatively youthful, low-paid employees work together in a rundown movie theatre in Massachusetts that still shows 35-millimetre movies on film. Everyday jealousies, disappointments and anger share the stage with jokes, chit-chat, occasional poignant revelations and a lot of workplace tedium.
But The Flick clocked in at 3 hours and 15 minutes - with an intermission - and angered a few theatregoers who walked out, prompting the artistic director of Playwrights Horizons to write a letter to subscribers.
"Perhaps we can all agree that whatever values we look for in the theatre, we all stand on the common ground that it is a vital and important art form that we look to to illuminate the human experience with complexity and integrity," wrote Tim Sanford.
The drama award, which includes a $US10,000 ($10,674.07) prize, is "for a distinguished play by an American author, preferably original in its source and dealing with American life," according to the official guidelines.
Baker beat out The (curious case of the) Watson Intelligence, by Madeleine George, which also played Playwrights Horizons, and Fun Home, with a book and lyrics by Lisa Kron and music by Jeanine Tesori, which played the Public Theater.
Previous playwrights honoured include August Wilson, Edward Albee, Eugene O'Neill, Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams.
Last year's winner was Ayad Akhtar's Disgraced, a play about a successful Pakistani-American lawyer whose dinner party spins out of control. The year before, it was Water By the Spoonful by Quiara Alegria Hudes.

Clues appearing online
One of the records we're going to be eagerly anticipating next year is the new one from the rejuvenated Suede. The Quietus has already heard a few tracks - and believe us when we slap our arses and say "ooof!" This is what they call a return to form, and so on. Anyway, Suede are plotting something - their Facebook and website have posted a series of mucked up pictures. These will be updated one a day, until all is revealed on Monday. We reckon it's not that hard to work out...

No work for a week, the plant is closed for the year end shutdown and maintenance. All the guys from all the shifts are free to go on an adventure. We wanted to go somewhere again far and unfamiliar, and with our mutual love for fresh seafood we decided to go "crabbing" in Mandurah, Western Australia.
It's going to be another 'first' for me and i wanted not to suck like the last adventure.
According to what we heard, in order to catch them easily, you have to catch them in the dark, which meant waking up at 1 in the morning and be there at the site before the sun rises. But having a bigger group meant more waiting and more people to be ready. We knew the travel time was "ass-numbing" long but what we didn't consider was the sun. Summer in Western Australia meant the sun is up by the time it hits 4 in the morning.
We still tried our luck even with the sun rising. With low tide 500 meters from the shore the water was still below the waist.
We didn't catch anything so we decided to grab a cup of coffee in the nearest MacDonalds. We asked some of the locals if there was another spot we could do some crabbing. There was one who pointed us to a place under the nearest bridge. There we met Mr. Nick who taught us how to be pros at crabbing.
There are rules too, you can only catch 10 crabs per person and each one must exceed 174 cm in length measured horizontally tip to tip on the carapace and most importantly not females carrying eggs. Random checkers roam the area and if you get caught you can get fined up to a thousand dollars.
So i cast my first net and hope i get lucky.
Got bored waiting for my net to catch even one big one, I decided to try my luck in fishing but can only catch guppies! Even in fishing i suck!
About two hours of waiting and with the help of patience i developed from playing JRPGs, i finally caught my first "legal" catch and got lucky with two crabs in one net!
then i caught some more in the next two hours, but only managed to catch a total of seven but my last one was the biggest of all the ones we caught!
We probably got enough crabs to last two beer sessions but the sun got high and hot really fast and we could not catch anymore of them so we decided to pack up and go home, cook and eat them.
Thanks for checking it out!
Have a safe and awesome New Year everyone

Audi Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Can you direct me to a video or literature on the process, especially as it relates to the angle. I am mechanically inclined, a tinkerer, a jack-of-all, but lost under the hood of the Audi A4.
Also, I was suspecting something wrong with the transmission: ATF levels, torque convertor issues, etc. Was I mistaken? Do these codes tell you something is wrong elsewhere (i.e. throttle body)?
OK, I both cleaned the throttle body and aligned it today. It was a little gunky, and cleaning it may have improved responsiveness and idling minimally; however, the problem still persists. If I accelerate up a 5-10 degree incline, and tiptronic's in drive and in 5th and going about 40mph, the car makes a strange variance in rpm from about 1600 to1450 back and forth as long as I am pressing the gas pedal to sufficiently maintain 40mph up the hill. Also, as I start up a 20 degree hill from a stop, if I accelerate pretty hard (not pedal-to-the-medal hard, but an aggressive acceleration nonetheless) by the time I approach 20-30 mph, I feel a strange rumbling feeling (like I described earlier) that will stop as soon as I stop accelerating. I cleared the other DTCs, and I haven't driven it enough to trigger any more DTCs. What's next?
I remember checking the transmission (02) for DTC when the CEL was on the other night, it said none were present. Could the cats be causing this? The car has 116000 miles on it, and it is the v6 3.0L.
no the cats fail over time.
Continue to drive and re check again in another day. The dtc will log again once the TCM notices there is a fault. Also the check the ABS module for a logged fault.
Check to see if the carpet is damp or wet on all compartments
My carpet is dry, but I am curious what a wet compartment would tell. Also, you say sensor quite a few times, I just want to make sure that I am following: is the accelerometer sensor the same sensor that sends a signal telling the transmission when the ABS is working? Thanks for your help thus far.
If I turn off ESP, could I test the idea that the sensor's being faulty is causing the jittering of my car up inclines?
First, I want you to clarify what transmission issue is solved when replacing the sensor. At first I thought you were referring to the vibration issue I was having, but I now think that you were talking about the fault code issue (one being present in ABS controller, but not any codes in the transmission controller). Which were you referring to?
Regardless, back to the vibration issue: could my trouble I described in the original post be a bad CV joint or multiple bad CV joints? I notice that as I coast and slow down to a red light, for example, I feel/hear an ever-so slight ticking or popping. This occurs at decreasing speeds <20mph and on flat streets with my wheels pointed straight. Could CV joints be causing this tick/pop as well as my vibrations I feel on acceleration up an incline?

Hi There, thanks for taking a look at my doogy page, the words are on my blog if you want to read them!! lol susie-griffiths.blogspot.com Thanks!! Sue
Hi again...I get to The Dalles at least once a month but never seem to get as far as Hood River. When I lived in White Salmon [years ago] it was just the opposite...I hardly ever went to The Dalles. Hope you have a wonderful week-end. :)

HI there! Just wanted to say thanks for your nice comment about my Back To School lo! Cheers, Kelly :)
Yeah, it is sitting on a 12 x 12 paper rack. It is about 13 inches tall and 14 inches tall . Thanks for stoppin by to check out my finds.
I took your advice and changed my picture to one of Junior. He's a mess, but we love him dearly!! Maxwell was 8 1/2 when he died. Junior has so many of the same mannerisms and expressions, sometimes it's hard ... but we are so happy we were able to give the little dude a wonderful home that he needed. I'm not sure he'll ever realize what a jackpot he landed when we came along! ;-)
LOL, yes...paper tearing, distressing AND Twilight...EGADS how can I possibly scrap??!!!
LOL, yes it was my big 'ole boxer boy, Maxwell. We lost him a couple of months ago. He just collapsed one day, gasped twice and died right in front of me. It was horrible!! Just two days later we happened upon an adoption event for Red Dirt Boxer Rescue and ended up bringing home what could've been Maxwell's son. We named him Junior, and he's been every bit a handful as a 9 month old boxer can be! We love it! It has really helped to ease our pain (and our other two dogs' grief as well) even though he will never "replace" Max. Thank you for noticing! Us Boxer Mommies stick together!!! :D

N.Y. Times Hailed as 'One of the Most Gay-Friendly Institutions in the World'
David Boies and Ted Olson, the formerly-dueling duo in the Bush-Gore 2000 recount battle now litigating for gay marriage in California, were the guests of a forum at The New York Times last week. Former Newsweek editor Charles Kaiser reflected on just how far the Times has come, so that now it is a global role model for gay-friendliness. Their news-manufacturing motto might be All the Progress That's Fit to Push:
What was even more remarkable than the spectacle of a Reagan appointee making a full-throated defense of marriage equality was the atmosphere in which this confab took place. Most of those present were gay and lesbian New Yorkers invited to the event. But in the third row sat New York Times publisher and chairman Arthur O. Sulzberger Jr. , and six rows behind him was Andy Rosenthal, the editor of the Times editorial page.
Thirty years ago, their fathers, Arthur "Punch" Sulzberger and Abe Rosenthal, were running this newspaper, and they shared such antipathy for homosexuals that gay employees of the newspaper believed that their careers depended on keeping their sexual orientations a secret.
But as the younger Sulzberger began his ascension through the paper's corporate ranks, he did a remarkable thing: he made it clear to every single person who worked for him that he would not tolerate an iota of prejudice based on sexual orientation.
Practically overnight, he transformed what had been a relentlessly homophobic place into one of the most gay-friendly institutions in the world.
And when Sulzberger went against his father's wishes and started publishing same-sex wedding announcements in the newspaper in 2002, he did at least as much as any state legislature could to legitimize the idea of marriage equality.
Not at all coincidentally, Andy Rosenthal's editorial page has published more brilliant editorials in defense of equal rights for gay people than any other editorial page in the world.
What a difference a new generation can make!
Kaiser believes fervently in the inevitablility of a left-wing victory, "because every new generation of Americans is dramatically more tolerant of sexual diversity than the one that preceded it."
From NewsBusters in 2007: Melissa Lopez on Kaiser's appearance on The Colbert Report.

14 May of 2013 will probably be remembered for me as the crappiest day ever.
Wake up exhausted, followed up with scumbag brain, which gave me a seizure and accidentally made me put a contact lens -- one of my favourite ones -- in perfume instead of solution, therefore ruining it and making it garbage.
I go to sleep after that, and wake up with my fat cat laying on my feet, so they're completely asleep. When I actually get up, I get a two-hour lecture because I'd forgotten to take my medicine.
My mom went to the dentist afterwards, so I opted to watch TV and just sit around because I was still exhausted, and so I forget to put the bird in his cage, and of course, he doesn't go anywhere, but I get another lecture for that when my mom gets home. She asks me to go to Walmart with her -- I really don't want to, as I've got a headache, but I figure, whatever -- it isn't like I can just go to sleep again, lest I get bugged about it.
We get home, and that was about the same time my sister got home, and her and my mom start making dinner while I go to sleep (still exhausted -- seizures suck), and I get bitched at for not playing with the bird, because he's "my goddamn pet."
My mom knocks a glass off the counter, and her and my sister supposedly sweep up the glass, but I walk through the kitchen to get some water and get a shard stuck in the bottom of my foot -- yay.
The sole perk of today was that, at Walmart, I managed to find a lipstick I've been looking for for YEARS.

The Danish cruising family and their two crew, kidnapped on February 24 by Somali pirates, have been described as being exhausted, tired, angry and demoralised by a Danish reporter who was allowed to see them on the Greek vessel where they are anchored near Gumbah.
The kidnappers are demanding $5 million for the release of Jan Quist Johansen, his wife Birgit Marie, their teenagers, Rune, Hjalte et Naja and two other crew, the newspaper said in an article which carried no by-line for the safety of the reporter.
He said the pirates let him board their mother ship to meet the Johansen family.
'The father (Jan) seems exhausted,' the unnamed reporter said in the report based on 24 hours spent on the boat at a date not specified.
'He seems ill. The rest of the family is tired and angry,' he reported.
'Jan and I shook hands and he was clearly glad to see me. The others were told to sit down on the deck behind him,' the reporter wrote.
'One of the crew members never lifted his eyes once. He seemed crushed, demoralised. While I was with them he only looked at the deck. They all want the nightmare to be over as soon as possible.'
The pirates would not let their captives talk to him, the reporter said. Jan Quist Johansen was only able to tell him that the pirates had been warned 'from Denmark that an interview would complicate negotiations under way'.
'That could put us in further danger so I cannot talk to you,' Johansen said.
The reporter said that he had heard while on the boat that the pirates had demanded a $5 million ransom but only been offered some hundreds of thousands of dollars.
After being seized aboard their yacht off the coast of Somalia the captives were taken to the village of Hul-Anod in the self-proclaimed autonomous region of Puntland in the northeast of Somalia.
Government troops tried unsuccessfully to free them on March 10 and they were taken back to their yacht and then transferred to the pirates' mother ship, a Greek vessel captured earlier.
They are now anchored at Gumbah, Bari, in the Baargal region where it is apparently easier to avoid government forces.
Jan Quist Johansen, his wife Birgit Marie, and three children aged between 13 and 17, Rune, Hjalte et Naja, left Denmark in August 2009 to sail round the world, planning to return at the end of this year. Two companions accompanied them.

Pirate attack on EU NAVFOR flag ship - suddenly sorry
In the first light pirates were surprised when their target ship fired back - it was the EU NAVFOR flagship ESPS Patino
The fact that it occurred at first light must be the excuse for a skiff full of suspected pirates who opened fire and commenced boarding a target ship this week. What a surprise when the 'target' fired back and launched a helicopter. As the light increased they learned why. Rather than a commercial ship which they could have hijacked, it was the flagship of EU NAVFOR itself, the ESPS Patino.

"Fell in love all over again! Our save the dates came out perfect. Perfect quality, services, & pricing! Would definitely recommend to everyone!"
"We are having a destination beach wedding, that will be both intimate and relaxed. We wanted a card that represented our style more than the location, but we chose the blue and gold design to also play on the beach theme. We purchased the Save the Date, Invitation, RSVP, and Thank you cards in this style all at once. It was all very easy to do online and was returned to us quickly for review prior to print. We love them all, but there is a difference between the gold color - what I would call a true yellow gold color - on the Thank You card and the "gold" - what I would call more of a sand color on all the other cards. This is fine for our wedding in that it lends itself to a beach theme, and I doubt anyone will be holding all of the cards up to each other to match color (other than me). If your looking for the color to match across the board, this may not be for you. Overall we couldn't be happier with the total product and experience"

Track: Chicagoland Speedway
Event: Geico 400
Date: Sunday, September 15
Time: 2 PM ET
TV/Radio: ESPN/MRN/SiriusXM NASCAR Radio
Finish: 21st
Start: 13th
AJ Allmendinger qualified 13th and finished 21st in his No. 47 Kingsford Toyota Camry during the 13th Annual Geico 400 at Chicagoland Speedway. After running in the top 15, his biggest challenge was an ill-handling race car that caused him to lose a lap. Allmendinger fought tight and loose handling problems along with a vibration throughout the course of the event, but in the end managed to finish on the lead lap in his sixth race with JTG Daugherty Racing.
Rain delayed the 267-lap race, which ended under the lights. Matt Kenseth was the victor, who is now the current NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points leader by eight points. He bested Kyle Busch for the victory by 0.749 seconds. There were 25 lead changes among 16 drivers in the race that had nine cautions for 46 laps.
"It was a long day with the rain delay and all the guys worked really hard," AJ Allmendinger said. "We started off with the Kingsford Toyota Camry vibrating bad and it was really loose. I was just trying to hold on and not wreck it. It was the worst vibration we had experienced. With it being so bad loose, I wasn't ready for that. The car felt like it was on top of the track. They kept working on it and about halfway I was tight in the center and free off. As the race continued it became loose in, tight in the center and loose off. It was massive tight and loose off with about 50 laps or so to go. In the closing laps, I was wicked loose in the corner and still tight in the center. We made a lot of changes, but the car acted weird like something might have been broke at one point. We're going to focus on working on the car's body because it was a handful in traffic during the race."
"The one thing I can say about the weekend is that it was one of the harder weekends for us being off with the car during the race, but we seemed to learn more," crew chief Brian Burns said. "Even though it was a tough race, we can bring out a lot of positives from it. We learned more about what we need to get better at before we unload at the track. We learned some things we are lacking that we can do back at the shop to help our program before we arrive at the track on Friday.
"Everything with AJ is going well and there is a lot of energy and positivity that he brings to the team," Burns continued. "He helps lift everybody up to move forward so we don't dwell on things."

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Moments before Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin gave her history making speech at the Xcel Energy Center Wednesday, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich told NewsBusters that the left-wing media are trying to destroy her because she represents a threat to their ability to define what a successful, professional woman is in America today.
Offering some of the strongest media criticisms we've encountered at the Republican National Convention, Gingrich painted a picture of exactly what's at stake for the liberal press if Palin is successful in her bid to become the first female vice president in American history, and that people should not underestimate what they are willing to do to prevent that from happening (video embedded right):
I think that it is totally appropriate that the left-wing media is doing everything to smear and destroy her because they correctly understand that if she's still standing after six weeks from now that she has delegitimized the entire left's ability to define what a successful, competent, professional woman is. If you can be a mother of five, an articulate, intelligent, professional woman who's also an NRA life member, who's pro-Life and who's conservative, you suddenly break up two generations of investment by the left in being the legitimizers of feminism. So, I think no one on the right should underestimate the level of threat she poses to the elite media, and therefore, the level of frenzy you're going to get. And if you look frankly at NBC's coverage, it has been so unendingly one-sided it's been amazing.
Asked to comment about the difference between the coverage of Obama versus McCain, Gingrich replied:
When you have reporters who say that they almost swooned at Obama's performance, that their leg twitches because they're so excited, I mean, you want to say to yourself, "Get a grip boys, I mean, this is only a candidate."
Gingrich also commented about the inconvenient, unanswered question he asked MSNBC's Ron Allen Tuesday evening:
Look, I asked them a hard question. I said, "Tell me one thing Obama's accomplished." And I know it was unfair. It was kind of a sneek question. But they were all on this whole bit about Gov. Palin's inexperience. I said, "Alright, let's talk about experience: give me one thing that Obama's accomplished." I said, "He can write autobiographical books, he can make speeches. Tell me one thing he's accomplished in the real world." And, the reporter finally said, "Well, it was nice interviewing you," and he walked off. You could see if you ever see the interview, you could see the sudden startled look of, "Oh yeah, we don't have a, we haven't figured that one out."
Delicious. View the entire interview in the embed above or at Eyeblast.

"The first thing to note about the Australian Constitution is that it was deliberately crafted to embody an ideal of responsible government and representative democracy in which each citizen participates equally with all others. And this democracy should be trusted to operate without the check upon legislative experimentation which might have been imposed by a Bill of Rights mediated through an (unelected) judiciary."
"We have been fortunate that our Framers acted upon this modest view of their own wisdom. Had they not been so modest, there was one principle which would almost certainly have found its way into an Australian Bill of Rights in 1901, as a fetter upon the existential choices of future generations: the White Australia Policy."
"The second thing that should be said about the choice made by the Australian Framers is that it has made it easier for our judiciary to maintain the confidence of the public in the work of the judges as the non-political arm of government. To require judges to interpret the broad language of the Bill of Rights is to make politicians of judges."
"Legal training, judicial experience and the application of the judicial method don't provide the wisdom to give a satisfactory answer to these ethical or moral or political questions. As Bob Dylan put it: 'Ain't no point talkin' to me/It's just the same as talkin' to you.' "
"Can I say with respect to our Framers that we haven't done too badly with our small brown bird of a Constitution."

Management Sponsored by
When the far-reaching and ambitious Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemical substances (REACH) legislation was proposed, many people believed that implementation was unlikely due to the relative complexity and stringent terms. When the pre-registration stage of REACH implementation began June 1, 2008, these same people hoped that their businesses would be able to adapt to whatever challenges arose—whether rules were enforced as written or evolved as practical issues—but it was clear when pre-registration ended on Dec.1, 2008, that companies' own implementations would not be easy.
Globally, large chemical companies have been making investments in REACH compliance, and, for the most part, have satisfactorily complied with pre-registration of their chemicals. However, the situation is much more problematic for small and mid-size companies, especially those from non-European Union (EU) countries, not as adept at dealing with the chemical regulatory issues directly. And despite the warning bell that has been ringing for the past few years, many of the latter companies only realized that REACH exists relatively late in the day—and, in fact, they may have been doing business illegally. These companies risk prosecution and a large fine, and must still register or risk being excluded from the EU market.
When such concerns relate to only a few dozens companies, it is easy to penalize those companies. However, the situation is a bit different when it concerns thousands of companies globally. This creates another tangle in an already difficult web. With REACH, Europe has created a legal, bureaucratic monster, and will likely have difficulty keeping it under control. The way the European Commission (EC) and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) will manage to give a second chance to companies, without discrediting the whole REACH system that's been put in place, will be a very interesting issue to follow.
The U.S. is clearly one of the countries most interested in the possible softening of REACH deadlines. Indeed, the EU is a very important market for the American chemical industry, and there is no doubt that a significant percentage of U.S. companies did not pre-register. The U.S. was quite active in lobbying to reduce the scope of REACH as much as possible. But, after 2006 and the enactment of the regulation, the industry was very reluctant to involve itself in REACH, and all decisions concerning pre-registration have been made very late or even not at all. A lot of companies were thus still wondering, in the middle of November, what might be the best way to pre-register their chemicals.
Basically, like all non-EU manufacturers of chemicals, U.S. companies had a few choices relating to pre-registration—ask their importing agents to deal with pre-registration, appoint a subsidiary in Europe or create a dedicated subsidiary to be its "Only Representative," or appoint an independent European professional Only Representative—an intermediate that will be in charge of complying with the administrative procedures of REACH on behalf of a non-EU company. The relative advantage of appointing an Only Representative instead of relying on importers is fundamentally a question of intellectual property law and protection of trade secrets. Indeed, disclosing some sensitive data to importers in order to comply with REACH may be quite dangerous, as the future of that commercial relationship may be uncertain.

SBA Without Chief as Preston Is Tapped for HUD
After less than two years in office, Steven Preston, Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration, was appointed Secretary of the Housing & Urban Development Dept. in April. The SBA declined to comment on the vacancy or on whether Preston's deputy, Jovita Carranza, a 30-year UPS veteran, would be named acting administrator. White House spokesperson Emily Lawrimore says: "The President plans to nominate a well-qualified candidate to serve as the SBA administrator, [but] we don't comment on potential personnel decisions." Anyone named now would serve only a few months before a new Administration takes office.
As head of the SBA, Preston drew both admiration and ire from the small business community, which is now left to guess at who will succeed him. "Administrator Preston may have disagreed with or angered some people, but he tried very hard to right the course at the SBA," says Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.), chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business & Entrepreneurship. Now, "we need to see somebody even more capable."
Still, some in the small business community are pushing for an immediate appointee—one who, unlike Preston, a former executive vice-president of ServiceMaster Co., has deep experience with small business issues and is willing to fight the budget cuts that have plagued the agency. The SBA's budget dropped to $571.8 million in fiscal 2007 from $2.23 billion the year before, including all supplemental funding and earmarks, according to the SBA. "Small businesses need to know someone capable will be at the helm to ensure the agency is responsive to their needs," says Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez (D-N.Y.), chairwoman of the House Small Business Committee. An ideal appointee would fight for a Cabinet seat, say advocates.
As of press time, the Senate Banking Committee had not yet voted on Preston's appointment.

It's been quite awhile since I actually spent some time in front of a Vista system. About a year and a half, actually. The other day, I decided to give it a go once more, and this time, in style. I'm spending the week foregoing my normal Linux and Mac workstations and laptops in favor of a Vista Ultimate system. Back in February 2007 I found some problems, but I didn't hate Vista. I find that now, I'm actually enjoying Vista. I'm sure this revelation will come with some form of pestilence, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria, and so forth, but there it is.
Of course, I'm using a ridiculously powerful workstation, which I'm certain is the major factor in my appreciation. I don't think IBM makes the zPros any more, but this Intellistation zPro has dual Intel 5160 dual-core 3.0Ghz CPUs, 8GB RAM, an nVidia Quadro 3500 graphics adapter, and SAS drives. I'm using Sun's magnificent 24.1" LCD monitor, and a second 20.1" LCD to complete the picture (so to speak). It's terribly attractive.
My quest with Vista was to replicate my normal working application set, Vista-style. Of course, the tried-and-true native bash shell isn't possible (without Cygwin, anyway), but I'm finding that there are enough alternatives to replicate my must-have applications.
I'm using Ecto for Windows to post to my blog, which appears to be as featureful as Ecto for the Mac, and this version is arguably sexier than the 2.4.2 I've been running on my Macs. Ecto 3.0 on the Mac appears to share the design elements of this version, however.
With Office 2007 installed, alongside Thunderbird, FireFox, Pidgin, WinAmp, and a smattering of handy gadgets, I'm feeling quite at home. I even tossed a 2GB USB drive in to run the ReadyBoost flash paging stuff. Although no operating system should be slow or sluggish on this hardware, Vista is actually surprisingly fast. Apps launch in a flash, and the overall system performance is very snappy. I guess I should mention that the Windows Experience Index of this box is 5.8, with all components at 5.9 except gaming graphics at 5.8. Since 5.9 is the max, it's safe to say that I'm running at the top end of the scale.
I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 SP1, and haven't run into too many software incompatibilities so far, showing that my 17-month departure from Vista has allowed developers time to catch up. Even the most persnickety apps from last time seem to play nice.
The one major downside is the sheer number of times I have had to reboot. Every little thing seems to require a reboot, especially compared to Linux and Mac OS X, that only need a reboot once in a blue moon. I've also run into some odd window focus issues that drove me mad until I rebooted (of course), but I can see how someone well-versed in the Windows reboot trend from years of Windows 98, 2000, and XP would think that Vista hardly ever needs to reboot, and count that as a positive step.
At the moment, I have a half-dozen SSH sessions running using Private Shell (which I've found to be a very decent Windows SSH client), FireFox, Thunderbird, Microsoft Word, Ecto for Windows, Outlook, Pidgin, and six widgets, including the XM Radio widget tuned to Beyond Jazz. I'm also running Nokia's PC Suite applet, and another dozen tray apps. The CPU load is around 5%, 26% of the 8GB RAM in use (2095MB).
The infamous UAC warnings have been toned down somewhat, but it's very annoying when they do appear, as they blank both screens for an instant when they are invoked, and again when they are dismissed. I'm not sure if that's a driver issue or not -- I'm using nVidia's drivers, so I'd hope that wasn't the issue. I've also had some applications vanish from the taskbar, yet still be running (and accessible from the Task Manager), and some other relatively minor nonsense. The new Start menu is really annoying, oh, and the lack of middle-button pasting (a la X11) is driving me batty.
Other than those issues, I've been pleasantly surprised so far. Now let's see if I can last the week.

Helen Chalupnik was born July 1, 1911 in Verdigre, Nebraska, to Edward and Anastazia Mlady. She was baptized and confirmed at St. Wencelous Catholic Church in Verdigre, Neb.
Helen graduated from Verdigre High School in 1930 and Wayne State Teachers College in Wayne, Nebraska, thereafter. Helen was actively involved in high school and college, enjoying catholic sokols (gymnastic and operetta events) and Chez Plays.
Helen taught school in Country Schools (grades 1-8) in Nebraska where she rode horseback to and from school. She would arrive early and start a fire to warm the school before the children arrived.
Helen married Henry Leo Chalupnik on July 30, 1935 at St. Wencelous Catholic Church in Verdigre, Neb. Henry was from Beroun, Minn., and went to Verdigre to work for his oldest brother Jim who was an ice cream and butter maker. Jim had a creamery in Verdigre and Norfolk, Neb.
Helen and Henry lived in Verdigre for four years before moving to Hinckley, Minn., where they bought a farm 5 miles south of Hinckley. They farmed here for the next 27 years. Helen helped Henry with the farming, dairy cattle and crops, stacking hay, shocking oats, etc.
Helen always had big gardens, canned and froze vegetables, and fruit. She loved the outdoors, had lots of flowers, a beautiful yard and at one time raised chincillas.
Daughters, Cecelia Ann was born May 13, 1938 and Patricia Mae March 13, 1940.
While helping Henry with the farm, Helen took care of her girls and did the housework.
In the early 1950s, Helen worked at the arsenal in New Brighton, Minn., as a machine operator. She also worked with her "God given talent" to create art in sugar decorations. She was referred to as the "Sugar Lady" and developed her own formulas of frosting to make beautiful sugar flowers to be put on cakes for all occasions. She also made sugar center pieces, nut cups and more.
In 1967, Helen and Henry built a new home in Pine City, Minn., where they enjoyed their retirement with yard, flowers and garden. In 1997, they moved to North Pine Apts. and in 1999 Henry died. Helen continued to live at North Pine, enjoying flowers in the summer and sugar decorations in the winter.
Helen, a devout Roman Catholic, began every day with a prayer "Lord…whatever I do, whatever I say, I'll do for the greater honor and glory of God". She was a woman of faith saying rosaries daily for family and friends. One of her frequent quotes was "Prayer is for the soul as food is for the body."
She was very proud of her CHEZ heritage and language. Helen was a hard worker and often said "I'd rather wear out than rust out." She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She was always willing to help!
Helen is survived by two daughters: Cecilia (LeRoy) Shinler of Rush City, Partrcia (Bob) Dunsmore of Hinckley, 12 grandchildren: Brad (Judy) Shinler, Linda (Fred) Goebel, Debra (Dan) Sandeen, Doug (Shellie) Shinler, Tammy (Jerry) Scheffer, Kevin (Anne) Shinler, Jodi (David) Scheffer, Bob (Margaret) Dunsmore, Bruce (Megan) Dunsmore, Marie Drews, James (Shari) Dunsmore, Michael (Liz) Dunsmore; 32 great-grandchildren, 5 great-great-grandchildren, sister-in-law Elsie Mlady, many nieces, nephews and friends.
She is preceded in death by her parents Edward and Anastazia (Pavelka) Mlady, husband Henry Chalupnik, sister Clara Drobny, and her brothers Leo Mlady, and Delbert Mlady.

The joy of pointing fingers and apportioning blame
There is now widespread agreement on how the collective actions and inaction of the three parties to the UK's Tripartite Arrangement for dealing with financial stability crises contributed to the Northern Rock debacle. There is also reasonable clarity about the individual mistakes and misjudgements of two of the three parties – the Treasury and the Financial Services Authority (the regulator). There is less agreement on what errors the Bank of England has made.
Collectively, the Treasury, the Bank and the FSA failed to act, speak and appear jointly, cohesively and harmoniously, to reassure the markets, depositors and the public at large. The absence of a joint appearance, when the rescue facility for Northern Rock was announced, by the Prime Minister, who as former Chancellor created the Tripartite arrangement, the current Chancellor, the Governor of the Bank of England, the Chairman and the Chief Executive of the FSA , is incomprehensible. The continued sniping at the Bank since that day by the Treasury and the FSA, and the repeated covert briefing against the Bank by the Treasury further undermined public confidence in the ability of the authorities to manage the nation's financial stability arrangements.
The FSA was asleep on the job. The Treasury was responsible for the Memorandum of Understanding between the three parties. This MoU institutionally separated information about individual banks, including their liquidity positions, from the financial means to address any problems faced by illiquid but solvent banks. The Treasury was also responsible for the inadequate, indeed bank-run-inviting, state of the UK deposit insurance scheme.
And the Treasury decided, even after the risk of a run on Northern Rock's deposits had been eliminated, that the Liquidity Support Facility created at the Bank of England to lend to Northern Rock, at a penalty rate, against its illiquid collateral, would be kept in place until a private buyer for all or part of Northern Rock or its assets could be found. The alternatives of (1) switching off the life-support system and letting Northern Rock live or die on the strength of its own resources, or (2) taking it into public ownership and re-privatising it or selling its assets when market conditions normalised, were not considered.
Of these two options, letting Northern Rock sink or swim on its own, with no special access to public resources, would have been my preferred option. This is because, with the risk of bank run contagion removed, Northern Rock (with between 2 and 3 percent of the assets of UK-registered banks) was small enough to fail; its failure would not have adverse implications for financial stability in the short run and would have a mightily positive impact on financial stability in the long run, because the cautionary tale of Northern Rock this would change the incentives facing banks inclined to excessive risk taking.
The Bank of England as LoLR and MMLR
The Bank of England's failed as a provider of liquidity. It failed in two distinct tasks; as a lender of last resort (LoLR) and as a market maker of last resort (MMLR). It is key to distinguish between these two functions. (see my earlier contributions on the subject, many joint writings with Anne Sibert at (1), (2), (3), (4), (5).) The lender of last resort provides liquidity to individual banks and other individual financial institutions in distress. Following Bagehot it does so on demand, at a penalty rate and against collateral that would be good in normal times, when markets are orderly, but that may have become illiquid in abnormal times because of disorderly markets. The market maker of last resort provides liquidity to markets for financial instruments that are normally liquid but have become disorderly and illiquid. It does so either by purchasing the potentially illiquid assets outright or by accepting them as collateral in 'sale and repurchase agreements' or repos. Since it corrects a market failure – illiquidity of a market is a public bad - there is no need to impose a penalty rate on repos used to mitigate such illiquidity. No adverse incentives ('moral hazard') are created as long as the securities that are offered as collateral are priced fairly and subject to appropriate liquidity 'haircuts' or discounts on these fair valuations. I discuss how such fair valuations can be established when the securities offered as collateral do not have a relevant market reference price or benchmark because they are or have become illiquid. The Bank of England mismanaged both the lender of last resort function and the market maker of last resort function.
The lender of last resort
As regards the LoLR function, the Bank of England should have lent to Northern Rock at a penalty rate, and against normally good collateral, provided the institution was illiquid but solvent. While I have no first-hand knowledge of the asset side of Northern Rock's portfolio, those who do (or who assert they do) assure us that most of its assets are sound. Northern Rock should have been able to access the Bank's LoLR facilities in that case. The discount window of a central bank (called the Standing (collateralised) lending facility in the case of the Bank of England, the Marginal Lending Facility in the case of the ECB and the primary discount window in the case of the Federal Reserve System is the place where lender of last resort funds should be provided.
The discount window of the Bank of England is, however, ineffective as a source of liquidity for two reasons. First, it only provides overnight loans. The Fed lends at up to one month maturity at its primary discount window. Second and most importantly, the Bank of England only accepts as collateral securities that are already liquid: UK government securities, sovereign debt instruments issued by other European Economic Area governments, high-rated debt instruments of a few international organisations (e.g. the World Bank), and, under exceptional circumstances, US Treasury securities. So the Bank of England's discount window only does maturity transformation of long-maturity liquid assets into overnight liquidity. This is useless in a crisis. The ECB accepts as collateral at its discount window euro-denominated debt instruments (rated at least in the A category) issued by both sovereign and private issuers. It can accept nonmarketable and illiquid assets, including asset-backed securities. The Fed can accept as collateral at its discount window anything it deems fit, including cats and dogs.
Stuck with an underpowered discount facility, the Bank of England and the Treasury had to create the purpose-designed Liquidity Support Facility for Northern Rock to be able to lend to Northern Rock. In the Euro area and in the USA, Northern Rock would have been able to use its prime mortgages as collateral at the discount window. Indeed, if Northern Rock had been more on the ball, it could have used its Irish subsidiary (which is in the Euro Area) to borrow at the ECB's discount window, or to obtain liquidity in the ECB's liquidity-oriented repos. The Liquidity Support Facility would have been redundant had there been a properly designed collateral and maturity policy at the Bank of England's discount window. The discount window is, in principle, anonymous. The Liquidity Support Facility was in the public domain, because of the mistaken belief of the Governor that undercover, secret LoLR support for Northern Rock would have violated the Market Abuse Directive. That, of course, is nonsense, and it was contradicted the very afternoon the MAD assertion was made, by a spokesman for the European Commission. The ECB is reported to have provided undercover support to troubled Eurozone banks without creating any MAD problems. Obviously, the MAD was not created to rule out discrete, secret LoLR support where it is needed to limit unnecessary damage.
The market maker of last resort
The Bank's provision of liquidity to disorderly financial markets was also flawed, and continues to be so. Again, it accepted (until it changed its mind after Northern Rock hit the rocks and interbank markets remained in turmoil – as they continue to be to some extent especially at 3-month maturities; yesterday (November 16), the spread of 3-month sterling Libor over the market's estimate of the UK official policy rate (Bank Rate) over the next three months, as measured by the Overnight Indexed Swap (OIS) swap rate one again crawled up to around 75 basis points. The Bank of England accepts as collateral in repos only the same short list of highly liquid and highly rated securities that it accepts at its discount window. The menu of securities it is willing to purchase outright in open market purchases is equally restricted. The Bank only sets the overnight repo rate (using its restricted list of collateral) and used to intervene at longer maturities only 'at market rates', not seeking to influence market rates at longer maturities than overnight. It attributed the gap between, say, 3-month Libor and the expected policy rate over that three month horizon as reflecting market participants perceptions of default risk. The Bank did not consider it its business to address default risk of UK-registered banks through its repos and open market operations, and I fully concur.
However, to identify the gap between 3-month Libor and the expected policy rate over a three month horizon as reflecting mainly default risk represents a serious error. That spread is the sum of the default risk premium and the liquidity risk premium. In my view most of the spread (at least 60 basis points of yesterday's 75 basis point spread, say), represents the market's perception of liquidity risk. There is a term structure of liquidity risk which the Bank can and should try to address by intervening aggressively at longer maturities in the interbank markets (through repos at the appropriate longer maturities) to drive down the excessive spreads. It should do so accepting as collateral in its longer-maturity repos a wide range of private sector financial instruments, including illiquid and nonmarketed instruments. It announced it would do so in September, but the 3 interventions it announced at a 3-month maturity were subject to a penalty floor (the interest rate could not be below the policy rate plus 100 basis points). Nobody came to the party.
The fact that the Bank made its proposed market support operation subject to a penalty floor shows it still does not get the distinction between assisting an individual institution that is in trouble and supporting an illiquid market or financial instrument instrument. LoLR operations have to be at a penalty rate to mitigate moral hazard. MMLR operations correct a market failure. Illiquidity is a manifestation of a breakdown if trust and confidence. Liquidity is a public good, subject to 'intertemporal network externalities' – even when I have liquid resources today in excess of my own requirements, my willingness to lend these resources to you today at three month maturity, depends on my perception of the risk that both you and I will be illiquid three months from now. If I expect both of us to be illiquid three months from you, I will not lend to you today. So fear of future illiquidity supports an inefficient equilibrium with lack of liquidity today.
If the authorities could credibly commit themselves today to provide unlimited liquidity in three months' time, such liquidity crises would not arise. But such a commitment is impossible. The best substitute is for the monetary authority to provide the 3-month liquidity today. The Bank of England is the only agency whose sterling liabilities have unquestioned and unconditional liquidity. They can provide this liquidity instantaneously, continuously and at no cost. They should do so; they did not. So the Bank failed in its market maker of last resort role. It is possible, but socially inefficient for private banks and other financial institutions to carry on their own balance sheets enough liquid assets to weather virtually any market illiquidity storm. They should have enough liquid assets to manage their affairs when markets are orderly. It is the job of the monetary authority to prevent or mitigate market illiquidity. This permits banks and other financial institutions to perform their valuable social functions of borrowing short and lending long, and of borrowing in markets that are normally but not always liquid, and lending in the form of assets that are often illiquid.
To avoid creating adverse incentives for the would-be borrowers in the repos, borrowers who might offer illiquid, nonmarketable instruments as collateral, it is key that the collateral be priced in such a way as not to offer a subsidy to the borrowers. The Bank need not have superior information about what mortgages are worth, or about the fair value of the underlying assets backing asset-backed securities that might be offered as collateral. It can organise auctions that serve as reservation-price revelation mechanisms for the parties offering the illiquid securities. The reverse Dutch auction, with the Bank acting as monopoly buyer, is one example. To discourage unnecessary complexity in structured products, the Bank should have a positive list of financial instruments that it will make market in. To avoid a situation where private holders of illiquid instruments prefer not to have them valued at these auctions, there should be a regulation that all securities in a class for which there has been an auction, should be marked-to-market at the prices established in the auction (in the case of the reverse Dutch auction, this could even be at something close to the highest price in the sequence of prices established in the auction; as the sole buyer in the auction, the central bank should get enough of an advantage from its monopsony power to ensure that the tax payer would not lose on these transactions).
The Bank should carry these illiquid securities on its balance sheet. If, subsequently, a transparent normal market is re-established, the Bank could sell the securities again. Otherwise it can hold them till maturity. It never has to develop an informed view as to how much these illiquid assets are worth. After all, the Bank is never liquidity-constrained and is uniquely well-placed to take the long view.
So the Bank failed in its lender of last resort function and in its market support or market maker of last resort function, because it operated against too restrictive a list of collateral and at too short a maturity.
Quo Vadis, Northern Rock?
Of course, Northern Rock knew, or should have known, about the collateral policy of the Bank of England, both at the discount window and in its liquidity-oriented market interventions. Northern Rock had to live in the real world, and its funding policy, and its low liquid asset holdings were therefore reckless.
The creation of a one-off support facility for a specific financial institution (as opposed to a discount window open to all eligible counterparties on demand, given the right collateral) should only be considered for institutions that are systemically important. For such systemically important institutions, being taken into public ownership is also an option. Northern Rock, which accounts for 2 or 3 percent of the assets of UK-registered banks, is not systemically important–it is small enough to be allowed to fail. It should therefore not have any stronger claim on public financial support that a failing ball-bearings company in Coventry. It could and should have been allowed to sink or swim on its own. If the protection of retail depositors, or the prevention of a bank run, are deemed to be important, a decent deposit protection scheme would have been sufficient. The UK deposit insurance scheme is a shambles. But once the Chancellor guaranteed all deposits of Northern Rock (retail and wholesale) as well as most other unsecured creditors, the widows and orphans were safe and the risk of a run was ended. The Liquidity Support Facility for Northern Rock could and should have been ended at that point.
The odds against Northern Rock ever paying a fair price for its access to public funds and for the Treasury's provision of deposit guarantees are overwhelming. The continued operation of Northern Rock as a publicly subsidised private bank therefore distorts the competitive level playing field, and will lead to justified trouble with Brussels about illegal state aid if it goes on much longer. The option value to the rest of the UK-registered banking system of the Chancellor's statements that the Liquidity Support Facility and the Treasury's deposit guarantee will also be made available to any other bank that gets into Northern Rock-type dire straits, is worth less than the actual subsidy received by Northern Rock. In any case, the socialisation of bank creditor risk in the UK is not a desirable feature of the financial landscape. The Treasury should cut Northern Rock loose forthwith and not extend any financial largesse to potential private sector suitors.
