What had the land done to deserve being fissured? Local residents protested that they were traumatized enough by the killer's passage among them not to suffer a daily reminder of it, thronged by tourists. Some families of victims refused the use of their loved ones' names, which are already enshrined on a modest monument—a suspended silver ring, in the woods—on Utøya. Last month, Norway officially canceled the project.

 Memory Wound, a bold proposal by the Swedish artist Jonas Dahlberg, won a government competition for a memorial dedicated to the seventy-seven victims of a massacre committed by Andres Breivik on July 22, 2011. The artist's design called for cutting a channel across the Sørbråten peninsula, near the island of Utøya, where Breivik fatally shot sixty-nine at a summer camp and moving the excavated stone to the site in Oslo where, on the same day, a bomb that he had planted killed eight. The gap was to be faced with stone and engraved with victims' names.

Last month, due to much controversy, Norway officially canceled the project. The proposal struck some as, for one thing, an offense to blameless nature. Contrasting the project to Vietnam Memorial and Ground Zero, Peter Schjeldahl of the New Yorker points out the failure of Memory Wound, "Monuments aren't churches. The most affecting ones enable but don't seek to impose, fitting emotional responses. Dahlberg's proposal, by contrast, ...

The Global Seed Vault, built in the Arctic as an impregnable deep freeze for the world's most precious food seeds, is to undergo a multi-million dollar upgrade after water from melting permafrost flooded its access tunnel. No seeds were damaged but the incident undermined the original belief that the vault would be a "failsafe" facility, securing the world's food supply forever. Now the Norwegian government, which owns the vault, has committed $4.4m (NOK37m) to improvements.

Despite being built just under 20 years ago, a rapid surge in passengers has left the Oslo Airport pretty far past capacity. So a big renovation and expansion is underway, with a first phase just completed this April. Inside the expanded arrivals and departure hall, the Norwegian superstar practice Snøhetta has designed a unique bar and "interior concept".

Named Norgesglasset after a ubiquitous jar used for picking and storing food, the 65 square meter design riffs on its namesake. 4,000 jar clad the ceiling and back wall. Conceived as one continuous organic form, the back wall rises 4.8 meter from the floor and juts out over the seating area. It's complemented by a chandelier, also made of the Norgesglasset jars.

The circular bar is surrounded by red chairs that match a red rubber floor and a red couch lining the back wall. The red is a nod to the red rubber gasket on the distinctive jars. Additionally, Snøhetta designed new employee uniforms and menu cards to match the aesthetic.

Snøhetta has designed a "boat tunnel" that would allow ships to run beneath a mountain in Norway. With a whopping $272 million price tag, the mile-long tunnel would enable ships to safely avert the dangerous waters off the Stad Peninsula.

150 feet tall and 118 feet wide, the tunnel would be designed to accommodate massive cargo ships. Snøhetta propose a terraced stone entrance. "In such a delicate landscape, the tunnel has to be more than just an intervention in nature. We put a lot of effort in making it aesthetically appealing," states project manager Terje Andreassen. A bridge would allow tourists to watch the ships pass by.

Apparently, it's not actually a new idea. Back in 1874, a similar—mechanically speaking—idea was proposed. Over the last seventy years, the turbulent waters in the area have resulted in the death of 33 people.

Currently, a feasibility study is underway, with construction slated for 2019.

Called Lysningen or 'The Clearing', it has been designed by the Bergen-based architects 3RW. [...] "It is actually much better than I had thought,." [Jørgen Watne Frydnes, the general manager of Utøya,] said. "The frame around the woods and the silence of nature, makes it feel like a well."

On July 22, 2011, on the island of Utøyah, a lone gunman named Anders Breivik attacked a youth summer camp run by the Norwegian Workers' Youth League (AUF), killing 69 people. Today, on the fourth anniversary of the attack, a memorial to the victims officially opens on the island. Known as "Lysningen" (The Clearing), the memorial is designed by Bergen-based firm 3RW, and was selected through a competition hosted by AUF.

The design features a large metal ring, inscribed with the victims' names, suspended from pine trees over a clearing made by 3RW.

Vegard Grøslie Wennesland, a survivor of the Utøya attack who served on the memorial committee, says of 3RW's design: "the idea is both sophisticated and unpretentious. No matter what social, cultural or religious affiliation, you can feel welcome here. It will be a beautiful place for remembrance."

Another competition, for two public memorials – one in Utøya and one in Oslo, where Breivik perpetrated a bombing attack on the same day – was wo...

Oslo's city council approved a plan for a new Munch Museum on the waterfront in a vote on 22 October. A new building designed by the architecture firm Herreros will be constructed at a cost of 2.8m Norwegian kroner. [...] The long-delayed project has hit a number of political hurdles since the architects were first chosen in a competition in 2009. Some critics feared the dramatic design [...] would deprive the city's relatively new landmark opera building of the attention it deserves.

Statoil will now further develop its plans for the new building based on Wingårdhs' proposal and clarify significant regulation issues before further progress is done.

From 48 applications worldwide, the invited teams consisted mostly of Norwegian names and a few famous ones: Snøhetta (NO); Foster + Partners (UK) with Space Group (NO); and Helen & Hard (NO) with SAHAA (NO). OMA (NL) was also invited but withdrew shortly before the competition deadline, much to the jury's disappointment.

The fate of five Picasso murals on buildings damaged in the Anders Breivik bombing in Oslo in 2011 has led to a heated debate in Norway. A panel of experts has recommended demolishing the buildings and removing the murals. But art experts say that as the murals were designed by Picasso for those specific buildings, they should remain where they are. The artworks were Picasso's first attempts at concrete murals.

Any tips on how to recharge the noggin so I can keep studying? I swear being old and trying to finish a degree is so much harder. When I was younger I could have zipped right through this. I envy my children's youthful brains. They can keep their youthful skin, I just want the brains haha.
Usually when that happens I have to take a break, go for a walk, do something else to get me out of my funk. It's a known fact that our brains can only take in so much at one time.
I think that's what I am going to do. I have to pick the girl up from her friends house, so the drive might help reset my brain.
What I do is study for a bit, take a break (eat, watch t.v. etc.) and then go back to studying. Going back and forth between like that lets your mind relax in between studying and not stress about all the work you have to do and it get's better absorbed. Also get really good sleep too and keep fueled up!! (eat!). :)

Our choices are rarely cut and dry.
As the daughter of Senator and presidential hopeful Jentsen Holbrook, I spent a good deal of my life under public scrutiny. What I wore. Where I went. Who I dated. It was just the way of things. I'd become what was expected of me, until I ran from my obligations and woke up one morning in Cross de Raven's and Eryk Hale's world, two hot guitarists from the mega-famous metal band, Cinder. For the first time, freedom to be myself was within my reach. And along with that? Inevitable scandal.
True beauty walked into my life, more beauty than I ever deserved. I partied hard. Rocked harder. I wasn't good enough to touch Sara's petal-soft skin, hold on tight, or love her, but regardless of my bad boy ways, no one was going to stop me from trying.
Sometimes, no matter how hard we fight for what we want, love won't save the day, and truth doesn't always set you free. Then again. maybe, just maybe, when you find the one you've been searching for, love can find a way.

Cross, Eryk and Sara Make Beautiful Music Together
La Petite Mort & Ruby Rivers brings to life Eryk, Cross, and Sara. They truly blew me away with the emotions they put into each and every word.
La Petite Mort brings another dimension to Eryk and Cross that will overheat you in ways you never expected. I suggest you prepare to have those panties melt, because they will.
Ruby's Sara is just they way you would expect this strong, independent woman to be. The connection you'll feel to Sara grows stronger with each step, like you're by her side as she takes control of the future she desires and not the one her father tries to push on her.
Every Single Part of You was already a favorite of mine, but after listen to it, that love grew exponentially.

Might be pregnant
Ok mommas I need ur opinion on something ok so I think I might be pregnant because I had a little pinkish blood spotting yesterday it only lasted a day. That's what I read it can last a day or two. But I might be getting ready to start my pd. So who knows..im hoping I'm pregnant so bad. If I am then if I'm right in around 4 weeks pregnant...I just don't know she is the right time to get a positive reading on the hpt.
i would wait another week and then test. Hope you're pregnant!
Well I'm suppose to start my pd tomorrow so we will wait and see if I start....i hope I'm pregnant too...im having baby fever
I tested five days before my missed period because I was having symptoms and so was my husband (he gets them, too, oddly). I got a positive. Of course I kept testing over the next three days and the total of five tests were positive. We took another at the health dept. for insurance reasons. And, you can guess what that reading was, too. ;)
I found out 4 days after the day my cycle was supposed to start
well I'm late I was suppose start on the 19th and I'm a week late
Have you taken a test yet?
I have but they were both negative but I used the clearblue pregnancy tests...and they are not accurate anyway I have always used first response and they are more accurate

Thanks to nykaa first for its quick and on time delivery option. As the product Nivea men active clean shower gel, which is best for sensitive skin provides best acne treatment and also provides wrinkle treatment as well. It has a nice fragrance and is recommended for men. This body wash smells great and deeply cleanses with charcoal again. It's typically found in more pricey products, so this one, under this price, is a steal.

Evan was born in Frenu, a country similiar to France. He was born to Adam and Jaqueline, two loving parents, Adam was a archeologist and died during a terrorist attack, and Jaqueline who was a Ultra and died at the first Guardian attack in 2056. Evan was born with the ability to hover in midair, it was deemed a weak and useless power even though his Ultra-Genome was capable of creating 4,000 Kilowats of Ultra Energy every day, a new record in history, it was deemed a failure due to the evolution taking him in the wrong direction. Evan didn't have many friends, but one of the few he knew was Chris. Chris was a shy nerdy kid who was bullied daily, neither Evan nor Chris was strong enough to do anything about it, even though both of them were Ultras. Chris used to be one of the more powerful ones simply not using it, his power was blood affinity, he got more powerful physically the more blood was around him, including the blood inside other people. AKA in crowded areas he was the most powerful. But recently he had gotten a lot weaker, barely boosting his physical abilities at all when even in the most crowded of areas. Evan however had kept his exact same power since birth, neither getting stronger or weaker. When walking home from school one day Evan and Chris stopped at a fast food place, and all of a sudden a giant angel appeared in the sky. The next thing they know they're in a giant crater with all buildings and stuff erased completely only having a few beings left, all of which seem to be Ultras. Kevin tries to levitate but accidentally flies up around 20 meters, Kevin is amazed, he could never move that fast or high before, and at the ground Chris is almost 1'7 meters, and his brown hair has turned red. Everyone in the crater seems to look at each other in disbelief, all of their powers were supercharged. Evan looks up at the angel as well as the others, they're all speechless. None of them realize what's happening or what's happened. The angel quickly moves over making another area light up creating another crater. The only one who sees what happens is Evan, due to him flying. He sees how the hundreds of people turn into only 5 Ultras.
He flies over them as he hears the cheers of the Ultras below, noticing that they realized the same thing his group did, that their powers were supercharged. All he could see was one of them turning into a lightning bolt and disappearing before he continued to follow the Angel. The Angel continued to create craters killing the humans and destroying the terrain, supercharging more and more Ultras. Evan decided to try something, so he flew at his quickest speed after the Angel and searched around for it, all of a sudden all he could see was light before opening his eyes finding himself in yet another crater, he once again tried to fly up and the speed had more than trippled since before the second light! He quickly sought to find the Angel again only to find it had disappeared, leaving an entire city full of holes and missing people. And a bunch of restless Ultras filled with supercharged superpowers. A recipe for disaster. Evan quickly flew back to Chris descending looking as if he was a angel himself, they quickly exchanged a few words before leaving for their respective homes to see how their families are.
- Flight: Evan was born with the power of Levitation, the ability to hover unassisted midair, after the Angel blasted him with Ultra energy it was upgraded to flight.

I'm well versed on creating screen casts on both my Mac and PC. But, I have no idea how to do it on an iPad or iPhone. I show demos in class of Adobe mobile apps through the Apple TV. However, other than recording the demo live from a video camera, I don't know how to record what's going on with my screen.
So.... anyone out there in EdEx land know how to record a screencast on an iOS device?

The old Thought is
"What-ever We Take Food So Become Our Thoughts"
Kitchen is the place from where we get moral and physical energy, which depends on the purity of the food we take. Kitchen is totally in command and control of women of the family.
According to Vaastu Shashtra, the left part of the body is cooling and the right part of the body is hot, this applies to our Vastu / House also.
According to this principle, drinking water [Cool] should be placed in North-east direction means in left side.
Fire element, Gas stove [Hot] should be placed in the right hand side, means in South-east of corner the kitchen. Assuming the women is facing East while cooking.
As if the Sink [Water] of the Kitchen in South east direction and Gas stove [Fire] placed in the North or North-east direction then, the inmates have to face the situation of Non repayment of Loans in their life.
# Kitchen in South direction:
Kitchen in South direction and the cooking women facing South then, the heat related health problems can be develop in the family, like high BP, Arthritis, Diabetes, Joint pains etc., If there is no alternative then the interior arrangements should be made as mentioned above.
# Kitchen in South-west direction:
Kitchen in South-west direction and the cooking women facing South then hot arguments between the couples could happen in the family. As if the cooking women face in West, that leads to Struggle full life. The consequences will depends on the patience in the family, but the effect of the wrong placement should always be there.
# Kitchen in the West direction:
Kitchen in the west direction and the women facing West while cooking, can add the hardship [financial distress] in the life of inmates.
If the kitchen is in North-west direction then, the expenses could be more than Income [earning].
# North Kitchen:
Kitchen in North direction and Cooking women facing North, then there are chances of sudden loosing the money, though your earning is very good. This situation is like Burning a Money.
# North East direction Kitchen:
This is the direction of God [Eswar] and the place of prayer. Kitchen in this direction can makes the life over loaded with many obstructions in life and career.
# East direction Kitchen:
Kitchen in East will gives satisfactory gains but there will be lack of happiness in such houses.
These illustrations are just to check the expected impacts of the Kitchen. It is not essential that everyone should face listed effects.
The impact could be varies person to person depending up-on Sanchit and Prarabdha Karma.

What a Solar Battery Maintainer Can Do For You
October 24, 2011 by Eric Hilton
Filed under Outdoors
Solar battery maintainers are a fantastic tool to have at your disposal if your the type of person who wants to cut expenses and be kind to the environment.
Solar battery maintainers and trickle chargers resemble larger versions of the photovoltaic cells used to run calculators-which is a fair description of what they are. They convert the sun's rays directly into electricity at low electric power (generally from 1.8 to 6 watts) which makes them useful gizmos for countering the slow loss of charge that is part and parcel of every battery, particularly ones-car batteries for example-that are designed to be recharged .
Most people use a solar battery maintainer to make sure that they will be able to start the engine of a vehicle that is in disuse for a period of time. A common example is that of an RV that is kept in storage for most of the year. The battery would go flat if it weren't kept topped up by one means or another. They are also useful for keeping the charge on the battery of a vehicle or device that at times isn't run for a long enough time for the alternator to recharge the battery-in particular if the battery is a bit long in the tooth.
Solar battery maintainers are effective for any kind of lead-acid battery, whether it be an automotive starter battery or deep-cycle battery. Owing to the fact that lead-acid batteries are used in a wide variety of vehicles and crafts that may not necessarily always be near an electrical outlet, a device that can keep them charged up using only the sun's shining rays can find a wide range of applications .
RVs and boat batteries are obvious choices for trickle charging as most people only use them seasonally, and sparingly at that. They also pose an additional challenge of how to keep the house batteries charged. A solar battery charger, mounted on top of a motor home for example, is the perfect solution.
But it's not only the vehicles and crafts you use to explore the great outdoors whose batteries could need maintaining. What about the truck or motorcycle that you don't use everyday, or even your lawnmower?
Are you lucky enough to have a place away from the house (and electrical outlets) where you like to go and just hang out with the dog? If you had a solar battery maintainer and a deep-cycle battery it would be simple to set up a system to power a laptop or any other electrical device. Also, some people purchase a solar battery maintainer to be used as a power source for their kid's science project.
As you can see from the limited for instances given here, a solar battery maintainer is a very convenient tool that can be used for much more than just maintaining the charge on your car battery.
Want to find out more about solar battery maintainers? Then visit Solar Battery Maintainer.Net and learn how to choose the best trickle charger for your needs.

2 nd attempt at spaghetti bridges
On the 28.1.16 p 6, 7 tried again at building bridges out of spaghetti. It was really fun. A lot of spaghetti was on the floor. At the end we had a big tidy. The reason why we did it again was to see if we had improved on our bridge knowledge. The first group finished was able to fit 3 bags of sugar onto it's bridge (1 bag of sugar was 250 g per bag, so all together it weighed 750 g of sugar.) 1 other group's bridge held 3 bags as well. Also at the end we all had to answer a info sheet about the spaghetti bridge.

Human cantilevers update
Today in class we were working on our human cantilevers. We have already completed two but we still had another three to build.(If you want to see the two first completed ones check the other human cantilever post!)
Here is a picture of the original cantilever.
Here are some pictures of the human cantilevers we did today we enjoyed doing it so we hope you enjoy looking at them as much as we did making them.

Alice Seymour
In class ( 21.1.2016 ) a nice lady called Alice Seymour sent in some of her memories from when the Forth Rail Bridge was being built. Alice had typed up some information for us about how some of her family were killed trying to build the bridge. For example her Father Peter McLucas ( her maiden name) was a painter on the bridge in the 1940's and 50's. There was no health and safety then and the men had no special clothes or special equipment to keep them safe when working. He died from the paint red lead ( the paint had a lead base which is now banned but the men did not know that the paint was making them ill). Near the end we all had to write a letter back saying thank you and something about the information so Alice knew we were listening. What I remember is the story of a 13 year old boy fell and landed at his farther's feet (all the class gasped).

K'nex Queensferry crossing bridge
This week our class was building a K'nex Queensferry crossing bridge. It was very interesting and we learned loads about the way cable stayed bridges work. We managed to build it over 1 hour in groups. First we made the stand and then we made the cables coming out of it then we build on the road part.
Here is a picture of what the Queensferry crossing is going to look like.

K'nex Forth Rail Bridge
On Thursday our class was working on our bridge topic. We were building a scale model of the Forth Rail Bridge using K'nex. This also tied in with our maths which is scale.
This bridge was very fun for all the class to build. We all had turns at different jobs such as manager, time keeper, resource manager and encourager. The time was probably about 60 mins to build the separate group parts and 10 minutes to put them all together.

Our human cantilever!
P6/7 have spent the last couple of topic lessons devising their plans for using people and classroom objects to demonstrate the cantilever principle, used by Sir Benjamin Baker in the design of the Forth Rail Bridge. The children used Baker's original photo from 1887 to guide them and came up with some very inspired ideas, like using upturned jotter trays as a seat! This experiment familiarises the children with the forces of tension and compression, crucial in designing and building bridges. (Ask them to demonstrate these forces to you using your hands.)
One group had a successful construction so far, with more trying it out tomorrow. We definitely can't claim that engineering is boring!

Daily Mile
We are all still enjoying the daily mile in school. A lot of us have set ourselves personal targets to do with the daily mile. Some of us are trying to run the majority of the mile instead of walking most of it. Some of us are timing ourselves running the mile to see if we can improve our time each day. Some people are trying to push themselves to go a bit further than just a mile by doing an extra lap or two of the route. Why don't you try doing a daily mile at home to get yourself fitter!

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to all pupils, family and friends!!! We are only two days into our new term here in P6/7 and we are already being worked hard by Miss McLaren. On our first day back we received and discussed feedback on a reading assignment we completed just before the holidays and then participated in a little "speed-dating" in Maths! (We designed quizzes in groups to revise and remember what we had been learning about angles and compasses before we went on holiday, and we hot-seated around the room, completing as many quizzes as possible!) The afternoon saw our first Daily Mile of the term, followed by our new personal and academic resoutions for 2016, which we are making into colourful mobiles to hang in the classroom.
Today we were adding detail to the characters we have been creating for our plays, which will be our writing focus for the first part of this term. Some very detailed, interesting and well thought out characters were described to Miss McLaren, who was most impressed! Maths comprised of getting to know how to recognise and calculate/measure compass bearings, which we will use with co-ordinates (once we have covered them) to create and map out some treasure hunts in the school grounds.
This afternoon we discussed our Christmas Spirit homework grid and the reasons behind Miss McLaren asking us to try the tasks - it turns out lots of us nearly completed the whole sheet! Happy teacher. We then had a snowball fight - we each wrote down one way in which we think one of the tasks we completed had a positive effect on someone else, scrumpled up our bits of paper and threw them in the air! We each got to read out another person's snowball (although we didn't know whose they were!) and try to work out who wrote it. In the end, we were allowed to throw them back at Miss McLaren and Mrs McKenzie, who were very wise to turn around first! The day ended with some tennis at PE, which we will be finishing off over the next few weeks before moving on to dancing.
We will also be back to studying our bridge topic over the next few weeks as we didn't quite get enough covered before Christmas mayhem hit us last term.
It's looking like a busy and exciting term, but it'll be Easter before we know it!

2014 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship
In just over a week, NCAA March Madness descends on San Antonio as the second and third rounds of the 2014 Men's Basketball Championship unfold at AT&T Center. Between round two on Friday and round three on Sunday, the field of 64 will have been whittled down to 32 teams. When the final horn sounds and the court dissolves back into sand on Sunday, only the top 16 teams will be left standing. It's safe to assume the weekend will be packed with heart-pumping moments: a year ago, upsets riddled these opening rounds like pot holes, busting brackets and championship hopes in the process.

I'm Headed Back to DC, With Blogger's Opinions in Hand!
March 30, 2009
I will be headed to DC in a few hours to attend the Congressional Black Caucus Economic Security Taskforce TARP/TALF Access Summit. Yeah, I know, its a pretty long title. Bernanke, et. al. will be speaking to the CBC and I must admit that I am quite curious to hear what he has to say. Better yet, if I can corner him for just a few minutes to ask a few choice questions of my own. Remember, I have a track record of making money from the errors borne of erroneous monetary and fiscal policy. See"The Great Global Macro Experiment, Revisited". The most recent annual performance numbers are available here: Updated 2008 performance.
Below, I have outlined and detailed strengths and a glaring weakness in the PPIP plan proposed by Geithner. I also included a relatively simple and easy to implement solution to the problem, a problem which if left unchecked puts the US taxpayer at guaranteed and highly unnecessary risk. I will be passing this information around in DC like candy on Halloween! If I am allowed to, and if my cell phone and notebook batteries hold up, I will do some live videoblogging directly from the event. If not, then, well,,, not.
Reggie Middleton overview of the strengths and weaknesses of the TALF from an objective perspective
The program, as Geithner has represented it, is relatively well thought out, contrary to what many are saying in the media and the blogosphere. I believe too many are focusing on the PPIP (without reading the actual documents behind it) and not on the entire plan which also encompasses TARP funds and stress testing.
There is one potential flaw and one major whole, though. The potential flaw is the worst case scenario in the stress testing is not pessimistic enough, therefore may make the banks seem stronger than they actually are. This is the concern of Nouriel Roubini, who (along with myself) has been very accurate in calling the machinations of this collapse from the very beginning. I have been in contact with Mr. Roubini (an NYU professor and currently a rock star economist and entrepreneur consultant) and our views are quite corollary, at least along the lines of the outlook of the economy and the corporations within it over the next year or so. We both have been, and continue to be significantly more pessimistic than the consensus. To date we have been right. Reference the Forbes article that details my calling of the fall of the banks and real estate firms well in advance of other analysts, economists and investors, not to mention management, themselves - http://www.forbes.com/2009/03/01/short-stocks-middleton-personal-finance-investing-ideas_reggie.html.
The distortion of natural market pricing and its inevitable results
The second issue, which is truly a most significant issue, is that the nature of the non-recourse loans offered by the government acts as an implicit put option (a sort of derivative insurance policy, similar to CDS) for the investors who purchase the products (and by default, potentially the banks/insurers, etc. as sellers). The significance of this is that it can, and most likely will, distort the risk taking behavior of the buyers of these assets (the investors). It is apparent that the government is counting on this distortion to a certain extent (hence the reason for the inclusion of non-recourse loans) to achieve the maximum pricing of the loans and the legacy assets. This distortion, unfortunately, fails to lead to true "price discovery" in the market, for the entire market cannot borrow at the Treasury's cost of funds, and at up to an implicit 14x leverage that the chosen participants of the PPIP plan can. Most importantly, the entire market will not be able to borrow with the implicit put option that is a non-recourse loan. Most of us will have to act with considerably more prudence when levering up, if able to lever up in this environment, simply because we will be on the hook not only for our equity investment, but for the monies borrowed as well.
This concern, or prudence, is the lever that assures not only accurate market pricing (or at least the valid attempt to achieve such) but the lack thereof is exactly what got this country into the predicament that it is in now. Very high loan to value (LTV) and effectively non-recourse loans (as in the construction loans used to build the overcapacity in residential, retail and commercial real estate, or the so-called "liar loans" that were used to buy these properties) allowed participant and players who didn't have enough "skin in the game" to bid up assets to an unsustainable level, that was perpetuated by the access, and excess, of free flowing leverage at high levels. When "reality" finally hit the fan, that credit dried up nearly instantaneously, and the dearth of extremely leveraged, "effectively non-recourse" loans caused asset prices to literally drop through the floor - and they are still dropping at a very rapid clip. As the pre-eminent economic power in the world (at least thus far), the very least we can do is to learn from this most recent and egregious of mistakes and avoid dooming ourselves to repeating it, particularly since the mistake is just two years or so old.
What this analogy was designed to bring to fore is that the prices achieved via this "PPIP" mechanism will be significantly higher than the natural market will bear. Even if the investors were to purchase these "toxic" assets with the intent to hold them to maturity, the "true" market price will be significantly lower than what they paid for them, although the banks will be much happier with the purchase price than they would be with the "true" market price.
What does this mean for us as taxpayers? Well, it means that if, for any reason any of these assets get resold in the open, natural market (which is bound to happen, which is why they call it a market), the prices will simply drop like a rock. The reason? Well, the government is not, probably will not, and definitely cannot offer such favorable terms to all buyers of these assets, at all times. The stickler, is if and when these assets get resold (and this is the natural function of the markets, buying and selling), the collapse of these asset prices will occur AFTER the expenditure of $500 billion to a $1 trillion of US taxpayer monies. This event, if it were to occur (and it is not only likely, but probably inevitable) is a travesty in the making and does serve to fuel the speculation that the end result of this plan is a tax payer funded bailout of the actors and players who were largely responsible for this mess. I posit the logical, if not the inevitable: if these assets natural market pricing will be achieved inevitably, why not have this natural pricing achieved BEFORE the US taxpayer is separated from his and her $500 billion to a $1 trillion rather than after? After all, the difference is a capital loss if the monies are put in before the asset price discovery leads to lower prices, as compared to likelihood of capital gain if the monies were invested after the natural market price discovery process. Herein lies the key word, "natural" market price discovery.
The potential and incentive for TALF participant collusion and the "gaming of the system" is high, and incentivized by the implicit put options that are the high leverage and the non-recourse nature of the loans
The plan specifically provides for the exclusion of SIVs (off balance sheet Structured Investment Vehicles of banks) from investing in the bank's legacy assets through PPIP by excluding affiliates of banks participating in distressed assets. So technically a bank cannot set up an SIV with a more than 10% stake and overbid for those assets.
However there is no such mechanism as such to prevent private investors to engage in collusion and overbid for securities, risking tax payers' money since both the parties stand to gain in such an event (out of this three party affair). The participants of such collusions can stand to gain simply by mutually overbidding (as in two banks bidding against each other) to boost the asset values of what they are bidding on, or a bank can sell a under-priced swap (ex. customized CDS) to a private bidder (say a hedge fund or private pool of capital) to indemnify that investor against the losses of its 3 to 6% equity investment of the entire levered purchase. This benefits the bank by allowing it to sell assets at higher than prudent levels, and can benefit the buyer by allowing it profit from the gain of the CDS above and beyond the relatively miniscule equity investment that was made. Since the loans are non-recourse, the equity investment partner need not worry about losses taking on the entire purchase, and just needs to be made whole on their relatively very small equity slice. The leverage inherent in an underpriced CDS would serve that purpose and allow the equity partner to actually profit handsomely as the US tax payer takes a bath, in very cold water to boot! In order for such to be the case, the bank and the investor would have to collude, for the pricing and structure of the CDS (or other contingent insurance/false hedge) mechanisms is paramount. It would not be possible to get such a deal through an exchange traded product, thus it will have to negotiated over the counter.
Below, you can find an example of the effects of two banks colluding to increase asset prices, and the effects it would have on the taxpayer:

|% return
|Gain / loss to Tax Payer
|70% discount on FV
|Net Gain (Loss) Bank
|Bank A
|Bank B
|As seller of Legacy Asset
|<--As long as bid value is greater than economic value banks stand to gain as seller
|As Investor
|<--Maximum loss as pvt investor is only to the extent of equity
|Net Gain (Loss) Bank A
|<--Maximum loss to tax payer virtually unlimited. Banks stand to gain both from sale of legacy asset and as investor.
In the model above (which you can download for free for your own use: PPIP full model, with collusion and implied leverage 2009-03-26 01:00:41 202.00 Kb) we have assumed that Bank A and Bank B both participate in the PPIP program. Current fair value of Bank A's asset are at 60 cents on the dollar while Bank B's assets are at 80 cents on the dollar. However during the auction Bank A's and Bank B's assets are sold at 80 and 90 cents on the dollar, respectively. Bank A purchases Bank A's asset with equity investment of $6.4 while Bank B purchases Bank A's asset with equity investment of $5.4. At the end of period the actual value for these assets of Bank A and Bank B (originator) were 40 cents and 60 cents on the dollar, respectively.
Although both the banks lost 100% of their respective equity under the PPIP they were considerably better off (and I do mean considerably) selling each other their legacy assets, (effectively, selling them to the Treasury) with tax payers taking the ultimate hit. This should be safeguarded against.
The solution
A comprehensive solution is not only difficult to achieve, but not without its own drawbacks. Understanding this, I can appreciate the effort that Geithner, et. al. must have put behind the formulation of this plan. With that being said, there is one relatively minor modification that I believe can effect major change in the behavior of the plan participants. Even with the assumption that all plan participants and all who had inputs in the authoring of this plan were, are, and will continue to operate with the most beneficial (to the taxpayer) of intents (a potentially very naïve assumption, but one that I positing of the sake of argument), it would be nigh impossible to enforce the continued behavior as such for the duration and life of the program. As a matter of fact (and opinion), even if such monitoring were possible it would be imprudent due to the amount of government resources needed to adequately do so - particularly at a time when those monitoring and regulatory resources can be better put to use elsewhere (ex. Madoff, Stanford, etc). I believe the solution is to alter the risk/reward proposition of the implicit put option that is the non-recourse loan.
I propose that any entity or natural person that uses the government PPIP loans (margin, leverage) to purchase assets and simultaneously, consequently, or in relation with the purchase of said assets, enters into derivative, swap, OTC (over the counter), option related agreements, or has ANY equity (ownership), or ANY controlling interests by or with ANY sellers of the "toxic", legacy or whole loan, assets or products being auctioned through the PPIP will, as a consequence, immediately cause the loans used in the purchase to go full recourse. This puts significant skin in the game for the investors who may engage in other (potentially suspect) transactions with the sellers of the assets or who may directly or indirectly have any controlling or equity interests with the sellers. This instantly, and without additional costs or the need for legislation, eliminates the need for a watchdog to police and ascertain who the "actual" investors are, what their "true" motivations are for buying, and "if" they are purposely overbidding to manipulate asset prices. It brings to bear the natural forces of the market to police the transactions. If you overpay, you stand to lose your money, and all of your investment which you would be forced to stand behind (in other words, all of your money) and not just a single digit percentage equity investment that was leveraged significantly at the tax payers risk and expense.
With the loans going full recourse, the equity investor private partner will be strongly incentivized to pay the lowest prudent price, and if for any reason that investor were to overpay, that investor would end up bearing full responsibility for those actions (and not the taxpayer). In this fashion, even if a bank (PPIP asset seller) were to implicitly back an investor, be it another bank, a shell company, or an existing private pool of capital though the use of a swap, OTC option, or even the direct overbidding for the assets, the risk of those assets falling significantly below the PPIP purchase price will still be borne by the asset buyer. This eliminates the benefit of collusion for although the assets were removed from the bank's balance sheet at an elevated price, the "insurance" that would be provided by the collusion partner would be immediately called upon and the ill gotten capital would be drained back from the balance sheet to pay for the drop in the asset prices to "natural market levels". In essence, the colluding partner would be "robbing Peter to pay Paul". This solution also leaves available the non-recourse loans for those participants who can show that they have no pre-existing relationships or interests with the asset sellers, thus providing that market price distorting, but (apparently from Treasury Secretary Geithner's perspective) necessary boost to asset prices - without overdoing it.
Additional analysis and Microsoft Excel models to use as visual aids

Autoresponder email customizing issueAsked by butterflyfamilywellness on April 15, 2016 at 01:40 PM
I have tried to customize the autoresponder email to have my contact and opt in content, deleting the text box and inserting my content. I click finish and then save, yet when I go back to check the autorespoder email, it does not have my content, yet has the generic text box. I have attempted to redo this 8 times to no avail. Please advise!
