Either En Passant or Muguet blanc . Another suggestion can be Opardu from Puredistance which is a lilac perfume but build in Dia's manner
A different approach of patchouli which really worth trying is Mon Patchouli from Ramon Monegal

Silica Gel
(1/3) > >>
I know a lot of folks use Damp Rid in their keezers to absorb moisture. I also know they go through a lot of this stuff. I bought a 55 lb. pail of Silica Gel desiccant to construct some dehydrators for work and thought I might try this in my converted freezer to absorb moisture. Just pop it in the oven to regenerate when it gets saturated . . Anybody else use this? Any reason not to try?
Sounds like a good idea. Probably worth trying - I certainly can't think of any downsides. And like you said, just dry out in a moderate oven when saturated.
Just be sure and "Do Not Eat" ;D

What humidity are you looking for? I know that people use kitty litter pearls for cigar humidors(unscented of course). Keeps the rel humidity at about 60 - 65% I don' t know if they can be dried in the oven but I know they are pretty cheap.

Following the Ohio Department of Transportation's (ODOT) two-year pilot program to establish Regional Transportation Planning Organizations, local governments in Central Ohio began discussing the opportunity to form a Rural Transportation Planning Organization (RTPO) around the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO).
MORPC, as a mentor in the pilot program, encouraged its member governments outside the MPO to consider forming an RTPO. In response, MORPC began to work with the interested Central Ohio counties to form a Rural Planning Organization (RPO) area. The seven counties of interest included in the RPO are: Fairfield, Knox, Madison, Marion, Morrow, Pickaway and Union. MORPC organized the counties to engage as an RPO in preparation to become a state-designated RTPO.

New Delhi, Sep 3 (IANS) Aruncahal Pradesh Chief Minister Nabam Tuki on Thursday called on DoNER Minister Jitendra Singh seeking assistance in several new projects including funds for a high court complex and multi-purpose sports stadium in the state capital Itanagar.
During the meet, the union minister for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) assured the chief minister that the central government was working to fund Rs.150 crore for a multi-purpose sports stadium in Arunachal Pradesh's capital Itanagar.
The chief minister was told that the central government was also planning to fund building of a new high court complex but it would be possible only after the ongoing construction of the new secretariat and legislature buildings was completed.
According to a statement from the ministry, matters related to security in the state were also discussed.
The government has set an estimate of Rs.25 crore and Rs.30 crore, respectively, for the construction of an RCC bridge over river Pachin connecting ISBT to Naharlagun Railway Station, near Itanagar, and for road connectivity in the capital complex with by-pass roads, it added.

I had a great time learning new surfing skills with Jo. I learned more about reading waves, positioning, and timing in one day than I had in many previous sessions on my own. In addition, Jo is very personable, friendly, and fun to be around. It's clear that she's well known, well liked, and respected around Wrightsville Beach, and I'm glad to have gotten the chance to get to know her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their surfing. BRIAN G.
I took surf camp from Crystal South Surf Camp for a week with my two nephews. I was in my late 30's and they were 8 and 12. Jo and Ed were extremely professional and always put safety first, while making the camp tons of fun. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough! I have come back on my own and taken private lessons for myself from Jo! For anyone wanting to learn how to surf, or become a better surfer, Crystal South is the place to go! MICHELLE P.
I had my first surf lesson with Jo on the very first day of this 2012. Well.. no better way to start a new year! What about Jo?? She's definitely one of the best persons I've ever met. I liked her since the moment we shook hands. She's a really good teacher. She's patient, funny and I like her approach and method. She succeeded in making me able to catch the waves! So.. let's surf together with Jo! Yeah! MASSIMO C.
Jo was excellent at working with my younger kid and he was surfing in no time. He loved it! K STRADLING
I surfed Malibu in the 60's, and have not been on a board much since. The tips Ed gave me and the board he chose for me have made my surfing experience successful instead of frustrating! Thanks, Ed! KIRK CRAWFORD
I just wanted to say thanks for a great week of surf camp for Jackson. He really enjoyed it and learned a lot. He seems to have the "bug" so I am sure he will continue with surfing. Thanks for all your help! LISA TODD
We had an AWESOME time and you were the greatest! We will definitely look you up anytime we go surfing in NC (or if we plan a big destination trip). I just posted some pictures on your Facebook page. Hope you enjoy them. They are priceless memories of a wonderful experience that we got to share with you! CARY

Lidl preparing 'scenarios' in event of Brexit
Discount supermarket Lidl has revealed it is drawing up plans to protect itself from a potential Brexit scenario, just days after a trio of former supermarket bosses warned that leaving the EU would hit shoppers hard.
The German firm said it had "closely monitored recent discussions" and was "preparing various scenarios" to deal with the outcome of the EU referendum on June 23.
But the firm - which announced in November that it would plough £1.5bn into opening and refurbishing stores over the next three years - said "ongoing operations" would not be impacted, regardless of the referendum result.
A spokesman for Lidl said: "We are not a political organisation and, as such, the decision must lie with the British public. However, we have closely monitored discussions around a potential departure from the European Union.
"We are preparing various scenarios to allow us to adapt to any potential consequences for our business. We will make sure that our ongoing operations remain unaffected."

Rare sightings of dancing, blue-footed birds are being recorded along the Point Reyes Peninsula and other areas of the county's coast.
The arrival of the blue-footed booby along Marin's coast is part of an invasion of the species into the state as the birds stray far from their normal roaming grounds from the Galapagos Islands to the Sea of Cortez.
Birder and Marin Audubon member Len Blumin of Mill Valley saw one of the birds Thursday afternoon at Chimney Rock.
"It is a striking bird," Blumin said. "We were lucky to have seen it."
There was a report of one off of Rodeo Beach recently and of two at the Point Reyes Lighthouse Thursday morning. Point Blue Conservation Science researchers on the Farallon Islands also reported a sighting of the species Thursday morning.
The blue-footed booby is known for its long, pointed beak, clumsy waddle and unique seafoam-blue webbed feet — a combination that makes the bird look like it walked off a Pixar movie set.
And don't forget its one-foot-up, one-foot-down mating dance performed by the male of the species.
The booby seen Thursday was perched on a rock for about an hour, and Blumin was able to see the last 10 minutes of the display.
"There must have been about 10 of us there and we all got to see it before it flew off," he said. It was the first time Blumin has seen the species in Marin in two decades of birding. "This was a juvenile, which normally don't have the bright coloring, but this one did around its face."
The sightings in Marin and in other parts of the state have caused a stir in the birding world.
"Huge excitement for birders," said Brian Sullivan, a locally based director of eBird.org, a project of the New York-based Cornell Lab of Ornithology, where one of the Point Reyes sightings is officially noted. "Right now there's lots of birders out there to see and document this invasion."
The last time this number of the species was seen in the state was 1971. Experts believe the boobies are being pushed up the California coast because of a collapse of their food supply in Mexico. The combination of food scarcity following robust breeding seasons may explain why this event, as in 1971, features mostly juvenile birds.
"The blue-footed booby are really set up to take advantage of good years," said Bernie Tershy, a UC Santa Cruz professor who wrote his dissertation on the boobies.
He noted that while other kind of boobies will hatch one chick, the blue-footed variety can hatch up to four.
"Their population can increase dramatically during good years," he said.

THE LORD Chancellor is being pressed to adopt radical measures by the Society of Black Lawyers to safeguard black defendants from the views of racist jurors.
A report published by the SBL last week called for jurors to complain about any colleagues who expressed racist views.
If the judge refused to take the complaint seriously, investigate or discharge the panel, the juror should apply to be excused, the report says.
The SBL claims the level of prejudice among jurors is so high that the traditional judgement of the "common man" can no longer be trusted.
It plans to draw up guidelines for jurors to help identify and combat racism and has called for a meeting with the Lord Chancellor.
The report, written by Peter Herbert, barrister and former SBL chair, has already been submitted to Lord Mackay, as well as the Lord Chief Justice and Sir Henry Brookes, chair of the Law Commission.
Herbert said the "common man" was "more likely, in 1995, to hold to the common prejudice, which, combined with the power to decide the facts of a case, is likely to result in a racially biased outcome".
The report cites the case of David Gregory, a black defendant who took his case to the European Commission of Human Rights in Strasbourg earlier this year, alleging that he was denied a fair hearing.
During his trial for robbery in Manchester four years ago, a note was passed to the judge alleging "racial overtones" among jury members, the report says.
The judge did not investigate but warned the panel against prejudice of "any sort".
The report claims that in another case, three Asian defendants at Birmingham Crown Court were subject to racist remarks and jokes by jurors.
A spokesman for the LCD said the report had been received and Lord Mackay would decide whether to meet the SBL later.

Article from the North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District
At the general election in November of 2014, the voters of the Big Corkscrew Island Fire District and the North Naples Fire District overwhelming voted to merge the two districts to create the North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District. The vote was taken after the two districts, in accordance with the Florida statutory merger process, held numerous public meetings to discuss the merger plan, created to illustrate how the merger would be accomplished and detail the projected operational efficiencies and financial savings which would occur. Nearly two and a half years into the merger, we are excited to share with you how far we have surpassed our projected plans for an efficient and effective merger.
• Lowered millage rate from 3.50 to 3.45 for past two years in the Big Corkscrew Service Delivery Area equaling a decrease in taxes of $59,000
• Lowered millage rate from 1.00 to .95 for past three years in the North Naples Service Delivery Area equaling a decrease in taxes of $1.3 Million
• The three year cumulative reduction in taxes is valued at $3,916,327 to our North Collier Fire District residents and business owners.
• Maintained stable cash reserves: at the end of Merger Year Two (September 30, 2016), cash reserves were $164K MORE in Big Corkscrew Island Service Delivery Area and $573K MORE in North Naples Service Delivery Area than projected in the Merger Plan.
• For Merger Year Three (October 1, 2016 – September 30, 2017), ending budgeted cash reserves are anticipated to be $507K more in the Big Corkscrew Island Service Delivery Area than detailed in Merger Plan and $1.4M more in the North Naples Service Delivery Area (even after wage harmonization, additional personnel and apparatus)
• Savings from State Premium Tax Funds from Big Corkscrew area not yet received, but anticipated to result in at least an additional $120K savings per year
• Standardized resources used to respond to calls throughout the new District
• Increased firefighter personnel by 20%: the District added 27 additional firefighters, or 9 per each of the three shifts, which means that 9 more firefighters are available to respond each and every day.
• By end of Year Three (September 30, 2017), the District anticipates 12 additional firefighters or 3 per each of the three shifts.
• In anticipation of increased growth in east of Collier Boulevard, the District has purchased land for an additional station (on Immokalee Road, east of Collier Boulevard).
• Now providing advanced life support services throughout the entire 264 square miles of our geographical boundaries of the district.
• Decreased from two unions to one
• Negotiated one collective bargaining agreement so all employees receive the same pay and benefits, regardless of which service delivery area was their originating employer
• Combined and unified financial and administrative policies, software systems, financial systems and processes, and technological systems
• Decreased Chief Administrative Officers from 9 to 7
• Equalized response Districtwide
• More firefighters available each day on duty to respond to calls
• The District has not used the financial reserves of one service delivery area to fund a tax decrease or stabilize reserves in the other service delivery area. Separate budgets and cash reserves have been maintained
The Board of Fire Commissioners and staff of North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District have worked diligently to this point to ensure the success of this merger. You can be assured that we will continue to work just as hard in the future for continued success, while always considering opportunities for further cooperation or consolidation that provide savings to all parties involved.

Monday, May 25, 2009
ROMANO: Welcome, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. Thanks for joining us today.
SECRETARY GEITHNER: Nice to be here.
ROMANO: So you are laying the groundwork for--for GM to be forced into bankruptcy, maybe as early as June 1st?
GEITHNER: Well, I wouldn't say it that way. What we're doing is helping this company , this critically important company, the American economy, put in place a restructuring plan that will not allow it to be--emerge viable without government support over the long term, allow it to continue to play this critical central role in the whole American experience.
ROMANO: But by the time you're done with GM, you will have invested, what, $45 billion? How much is too much?
GEITHNER: Well, the President has made it clear that we're prepared, if we see a restructuring plan with enough shared sacrifice that allows this company to emerge viable over time, that we're prepared to support that. We think that's a totally legitimate, appropriate use of public resources, given the cost to the American economy of allowing this company to go under, and so I think we'll do what's necessary, protect the taxpayer but allow these firms to emerge viable over time.
ROMANO: You have already asked for the resignation of one CEO. What's going to happen to Fritz Henderson? Are you going to ask for his resignation?
GEITHNER: Let me tell you the basic principle, but I wouldn't encourage you in that direction. [The] basic principle is that when companies get to the point where they have to come to the government and ask the taxpayers of the country to support exceptional assistance, then we have an obligation to make sure that the board and management of these companies are strong enough to lead the companies towards a stronger future. That's a basic obligation I think anybody would expect us to have. That's the way financial decisions are made in the private sector, and that's the approach we bring to these kind of difficult questions.
Of course, we do this with extreme reluctance, extreme care, only when we think it's the only option, but that's the basic principle.
ROMANO: So what's going to happen to Fritz Henderson?
GEITHNER: I think he's doing an exceptional job under difficult challenges--and that's what I'd say.
ROMANO: Okay, okay. The UAW has attacked GM's plan to boost imports from China, Mexico, South Korea, while closing 16,000 plants here, and Congress has set up some flares on this. How do you ensure that this money that you're putting into GM, you know, guarantees jobs and--and development here?
GEITHNER: Everything the President is doing is designed to improve the prospects of this company, its supplier base, or sustained level that would not be possible in the absence of government assistance, the government support in this case.
So the whole strategy we're embarked on is trying to preserve a viable company in part because you want to make sure that the--we limit the employment effects that would come if these companies were allowed to fail.
ROMANO: But how do you feel about them looking to these foreign nations for labor costs and imports and exports?
GEITHNER: You know, I think it's--I think this is hard to say now, but I think you need to wait until you see the full plans that will be announced on June 1st--that we expect to be announced on June 1st and people have a chance to look at the whole package, and everybody is going to want to evaluate the credibility, viability of the restructuring plan in that context.
You know, our basic objective, though, is to make sure--is to do what we can to help ensure these companies can emerge viable, remain an important part of the American economy.
ROMANO: Can the U.S. auto industry compete against foreign companies that have lower labor costs, fewer environmental regulations, minimal labor?
GEITHNER: We believe they can. I think this is true in automobiles, true across the American economy.
GEITHNER: The American economy--American workers remain among the most productive workers in the world, and we absolutely believe these companies have the capacity to compete on a global scale.
ROMANO: The United States government now owns part of an the insurance industry, part of the auto industry, part of the banking industry. How do you keep from making the micro decisions when you're making the big decisions about these companies?
GEITHNER: It's a very important question. We did not want to be in the business of running on a day-to-day basis any of these entities. We did not want to be in business of owning any share of these companies over the longer term. So everything we do will be designed to improve the odds that we get out quickly, taxpayers have no ongoing relationship, that we protect the taxpayers' interest in the near term, but that'll be our objective. We don't want to be in the business of running these companies.
ROMANO: In the last 24 hours, for example, Edward Liddy stepped down. Who's going to replace him?
Well, they're--they're starting a search process now with our support and encouragement, but I want to say that--that he did a great thing for the country. He's still there on the job, helping guide this company through a very challenging restructuring process. He's got, I think, the--one of the hardest jobs in the financial industry as a whole, and he did the government a great service by coming in and taking on leadership of this company in what were very dark days for the American economy in September of last year, and we're grateful to have him there, and that he's going to stay on until we go through a careful, thoughtful search process.
ROMANO: So--so the Federal Government, and you in particular, will have a role in--in finding a replacement for him given the investment?
GEITHNER: The board with the trustees' engagement will run a careful search process, and I'm confident they'll do their best to find somebody who is going to be able to take on that challenge.
ROMANO: But you get to sign off on it.
GEITHNER: Well, you know, in general, where we have a substantial stake and the taxpayers substantial exposure, we're going to want to--again, we want to make sure that there is strong leadership for these companies.
ROMANO: This week, the RNC apropos of [US stake is so many industries]--the RNC passed a resolution that Democrats are dedicated to restructuring American society along socialist ideals. How is this not socialism when we're owning huge stakes in a lot of these companies?
GEITHNER: I think--let me just say it direct--it's a ridiculous charge.
GEITHNER: Okay? We are in this because, we came into office, this Congress started with worst recession in decades, a very deep, damaged financial system, and we have had to do exceptional things to help protect the American economy, help fix this crisis, fix this mess.
Where we engage in these areas is with extreme reluctance and only because we think it's the necessary way to help reduce the risk of greater damage to businesses, to the basic fabric of the American economy. And I say where we do it, we'll do it only temporarily, try to make sure we get out as quickly as we can, and I think if you look at the broad thrust of the President's policies, they're designed to get this economy working better, to try to make sure businesses have a better broad environment which they can operate, that we emerge more productive in the future, and that's what's guiding the President's basic economic policies.
He's had to come in and fix a whole bunch of things which have been long-term neglect by the government, and we need to get this government doing things governments have to do but doing it better--in improving education outcomes, in reducing growth in health care costs; basic infrastructure of the country had suffered long-term neglect; creating a more energy-efficient, greener economy--those are things that this government needs to do. They're critical to making growth stronger in the future, more sustainable in the future, and they are critical in helping solve our long-term fiscal problems as well.
ROMANO: When would you like to see the government, you know, out of the business of these companies?
GEITHNER: As soon as we can.
ROMANO: Okay.
GEITHNER: As soon as possible.
ROMANO: As soon as they can repay?
GEITHNER: As soon as possible. Again, you know, we came into this only with extreme reluctance to try to fix a set of problems we began with which were causing huge damage to the American economy, and we've been very careful--if you look at what we've done in the banking context, very, very careful to maximize the odds that companies are going to the private markets to bring in capital.
GEITHNER: So, if you look at just what we did with major banks, working alongside the Fed, they're out now--those that need additional capital are out there and are raising substantial amounts of equity from the private sector, so they don't have to come take it from the government.
ROMANO: You said this week that the public-private partnerships should be ready by July? Is that correct?
GEITHNER: Well, the--the Fed and the FDIC, which have a lot of the responsibility for putting in place the operational infrastructure, are working very hard to get those programs in place.
The Fed made an important announcement about extending financing to commercial mortgage-backed securities earlier this week. That's one important piece of this, but they're working on it, and we expect them to be in place relatively soon.
ROMANO: Have you had to go out there and sell this to the private investors¿..to convince them that it's a good deal to go into business with the government, in light of what's been happening, the political climate, what happened with AIG and the bonuses?
GEITHNER: You're right. There's still--there's still a bit of concern about whether, if you participated in these programs, you'll face in the future some change in the rules of the game, and that's causing a bit of--a bit of concern still, and we're going to work to limit that concern, but there's--there is quite a bit of interest in the--in the private investment community in participating, but we'll have to judge. We won't really know until it starts. People get to look at the entire package.
ROMANO: Well, what they're worried about is that [the private investors]are going to make some money¿.Then once they make the money, Congress is going to go crazy.
GEITHNER: Well, they're a good deal for the American taxpayer. That's the important thing to recognize -- -because you--you have in this basic structure, investors putting skin into the game, taking risk, making judgments about what the price should be for these securities, and the taxpayer gets to participate in the upside in those judgments. So we think they're a good deal for the taxpayer.
ROMANO: Okay. Let's talk about housing. The Federal Government has tried a number of programs to help struggling homeowners, to reduce the number of foreclosures, but yet, every month, foreclosures are at a record high. Is the problem bigger than the government can handle?
GEITHNER: Well, let me just step back for a second. You said we tried a number of progra We have put in place--I'll just mention three--which are very powerful and important progra
The first is a program working alongside the Fed to help bring down mortgage interest rates, and they are now at historic lows. That has hugely powerful effects across the American economy, helping reduce the risk--or the extent of likely further falls in housing prices.
The second was to make it possible for Americans to refinance even where the value of their house had fallen below the level when they purchased it.
That program, too, is up and running, and hundreds of thousands of Americans--ultimately millions we think--will be able to take advantage of that to refinance, take advantages of lower rates. That's more money in their pockets every month. It would not have been possible without these programs.
The third thing is to help--to set up a program to allow--to al low families to modify their mortgages, to reduce their monthly payments for a period of time, improving the odds they stay in their home. That's just getting started. You're just starting to see the benefits of this, but those programs will work, and they will benefit people that would not have been able to stay in their homes in the absence of this program.
However, you know, we came into this crisis in part because there was too much lending, and families across the country borrowed way beyond their means. And this program will not reach all those families, and it will not go to benefit a lot of speculators and investors that were trying to profit from the broader boom in housing prices.
But these are starting. They've already had some significant effects on interest rates, and they will help reduce the risk you have of foreclosures that should not have happened.
GEITHNER: Families that can afford to make their payments at a reasonable level will have the opportunity to do that and stay in their home.
But you're right. This is still causing a lot of damage across the country, and it's going to take some time still before those programs--to full reach the Americans that they are intended to reach.
ROMANO: You mentioned that Americans borrowed beyond their means. When you look at the collapse of the housing market, who do you--who do you think bears the greatest responsibility? I mean, is it the banks who are pushing these loans? Is it the consumers for, you know, borrowing over their means--I mean do the regulators? Where do you--where do you see fault lines there?
GEITHNER: Well, you know, for something this big and damaging to happen, it takes a lot of mistakes over time, and it's that combination of things. Interest rates here and around the world were kept too low, too long.
GEITHNER: Investors made--took a bunch of risk without understanding the risks. They were--they were betting on the expectation house prices would continue to grow up--to go up forever. Rating agencies failed to rate these products adequately. Supervisors failed to underwrite loans with sufficiently conservative standards. So those basic checks and balances failed, and people borrowed too much.
ROMANO: So there's plenty of blame to go around?
GEITHNER: There's a lot of blame to go around. You know, it takes a lot for something like this to happen.
ROMANO: Let's move into some personal questions and your being here and the toll it's taken.
For starters, you had a bumpy roll-out, bumpy introduction to the American people. The good news was that the White House stepped up and--and defended you, but was there a price attached to that? I mean, did you lose a little autonomy on that?
GEITHNER: Oh, I--I don't think so. You know, we have a--the President assembled a terrifically capable group of people on his economic team. You know, we meet with him every day. We go through strategy on the full range of economic challenges the country faces. It's a terrifically talented group of people. I'm privileged to be part of it, and I think that group has been able to do, working with the President and Congress, exceptional things in a very short period of time.
ROMANO: Since the beginning of this job, you've had a number of occasions where you've found yourself on the defensive, with the roll-out of the bank plan, with the AIG bonuses. How much of your job is figuring out policy and--and economics, and how much of it is--is gauging public perception and selling it politically?
GEITHNER: Well, they're all related.
You know, I spent a lot of time in this Department as a career civil service early in my professional life, and I worked with some great Secretaries, terrifically talented--
people, and I've always felt that the best policy gets made when you bring together not just the expert technical people but people who have the responsibility for not just negotiating and designing it but making it work in the Congress, explaining it to the American people.
So the best way to run policies is to bring all those people together and make sure Treasury and the White House are working very together on things that are hugely consequential for the country, and that's what we've done.
ROMANO: So--so you were prepared for--for the public nature of the job? It didn't catch you by surprise at all?
SECRETARY GEITHNER: Absolutely.
I've been living in this world for some time, and in a--in a financial crisis-- like in any challenging economic environment, you know, what people want to see is they want to see what you do.
GEITHNER: They're going to judge you by your actions. You have to earn your credibility. It only comes from when people have a chance to see what you do across a variety of circumstances. And so, you know, what we've tried to do is lay out our broad objectives early and then consistently put in place a set of programs to help fix the housing crisis, repair the financial system, bring the recovery stimulus money in place as quickly as possible. That's what we've done, and you're seeing significant early signs of stabilization in the economy, healing in the financial system, improving the confidence.
It's a beginning, just a beginning. We've got a long way to go, but I think you're seeing the benefits of that basic strategy, which is in a case like these governments have to act. They have to show that they have the ability to bring credible initiative to bear on fixing things that are at the heart of the crisis--people can see.
00:15:06 ROMANO: When you were offered this job in this economy, did you realize that there could be a risk that you would be blamed for--
SECRETARY GEITHNER: Oh, absolutely.
ROMANO: You did? You did?
SECRETARY GEITHNER: Absolutely.
ROMANO: Talk a little bit about that.
GEITHNER: Again, I've lived--I've been living--I've been living in this world for a long period of time.
You know, these things are very hard. They're complicated proble People disagree on what the right solutions are. Somebody has to make a judgment about what the path we're going to pursue is.
It will--you know, it's hard, and it's hard for people to understand why to fix a recession, you need to put resources into parts of this system that bear most of the blame for the crisis. That's a deeply unfair, difficult thing for people to understand, but there is no path to recovery that doesn't require--depend on a--making sure banks are lending again, there's credit to the economy, and that's a hard thing.
So the politics of financial crises are incredibly challenging, incredibly difficult.
ROMANO: But is it still hard personally to know that you get blamed for a lot of stuff?
GEITHNER: It--it is hard. The hardest thing, though, is just being away from my family --and the toll that--that it takes on them. That's--that's really the hardest thing.
ROMANO: Are you going to move them here at some point?
GEITHNER: They're--they're moving in the--I don't get to move them anywhere, but they're going to move themselves. They're going to move. They're going to come to Washington.
ROMANO: You have no time to help them move.
GEITHNER: No, not only that, I mean, you know, they have to--You know, it's their life, but they're going to come to Washington in the--in August.
ROMANO: How old are the kids?
GEITHNER: I have a daughter who is a senior in high school, a son who's a freshman in high school. She's going to go to college.
He's going to come and go to public school here.
ROMANO: You were selected by People Magazine as one of "Barack's beauties." So is that a compliment to you?
00:16:40 SECRETARY GEITHNER: It's not a good thing for the Secretary of the Treasury to be on the list like that. It's not--not a good thing.
ROMANO: Well, I mean, you know--you know you're like a little bit of a rock star. I mean, you might have, like, some critics over here, but at the White House Correspondents Dinner, there were so many people saying, "Is he here yet? Is he here yet?" I mean, do--do you get a lot of that? Do you--do you hear that or just the criticism? Do you get the rock star status stuff?
GEITHNER: You know, what I spend all my time doing is trying to figure out how we're going to fix this economy, get it back on track, make sure the President's got the best ideas, best suggestions possible, and I feel really privileged to be in the shop working for him at this time. You know, he's just an extraordinary leader, and he's got a great group of people around him, and that's what I spend my time worrying about.
ROMANO: You're going to China on May 30th.
GEITHNER: I am.
ROMANO: And you were a Chinese studies major at Dartmouth?
GEITHNER: I was.
ROMANO: And--
GEITHNER: I studied government -and Asian studies.
ROMANO: So how did you become a Chinese studies major?
GEITHNER: Well, I grew up really around the world.
GEITHNER: My father worked for the AID and the Ford Foundation. I lived in East Africa, India, and Thailand, and when I went to college, I was--my first day, I was walking to register for class, and I heard this--this guy swearing in Thai.
ROMANO: And you understood it?
GEITHNER: Look, I lived [ph.] in a Thailand high school.
ROMANO: Mm-hmm. Okay.
GEITHNER: So you learn a little bit of Thai.
And I went up to him, and--and he was a Chinese teacher. He talked me into--
ROMANO: Mm-hmm.
GEITHNER: --taking Chinese. So I did study--I kind of studied Chinese and Japanese for quite a long time. I studied in China, lived in Japan later.
ROMANO: So, what, you're fluent in all these languages or--
GEITHNER: No.
ROMANO: No. Some?
SECRETARY GEITHNER: I did teach Chinese. I helped teach Chinese for three years, four years.
ROMANO: Oh. So Mandarin?
GEITHNER: Mandarin, yeah.
ROMANO: Okay. And I understand your father worked with Barack Obama's mother at the Ford Foundation?
GEITHNER: Yeah. When--well, I didn't know this, nor did the President know it, but it turns out that when he was at the Ford Foundation, one of the programs he oversaw was the program the President's mother participated in.
ROMANO: So how did he figure that out that she was there? How did you all put that together?
GEITHNER: Well, I actually remember when I first read his first book, remembering that he was in Indonesia because of--because of his mother, and she was working with the Ford Foundation then, but then I sort of forgot about it, and we didn't talk about it. The President and I didn't talk about it until January, I think.
ROMANO: And did they ever meet?
SECRETARY GEITHNER: The President?
ROMANO: No. The--your father--
GEITHNER: You know, I'm--
ROMANO: Is it your father or your grandfather?
GEITHNER: It's my father.
ROMANO: Your father and--
GEITHNER: I--I think they did.
ROMANO: --Barack's mother?
GEITHNER: I think they did, but I'm--
ROMANO: Mm-hmm.
GEITHNER: --not sure.
ROMANO: And your grandfather was an advisor to President Eisenhower?
GEITHNER: He was.
ROMANO: And would--did you grow up in a Republican household?
GEITHNER: My grandfather was sort of interesting politically, but I would not say I grew up in a Republican household, no.
ROMANO: Okay.
GEITHNER: I grew up in a somewhat political household but not--not Republican.
ROMANO: Was it a Democratic household then?
GEITHNER: Well, I had an uncle who served in a variety of Republican administrations---Jonathan Moore--
But, you know, I--I--partly because I grew up--mostly because I grew up overseas and I saw how the world viewed America, the effect America had on the world, I decided early in life, I wanted to work in public service, work in policy, help shape what this country did.
ROMANO: So you had--you had sort of a global view as does the President.
Do you remember the first time you met the President?
GEITHNER: Yes. I first met him in the fall, before the election, but, like many Americans, I met him first by reading his book.
ROMANO: What were the circumstances of you meeting him?
GEITHNER: We met.
ROMANO: Over the job?
GEITHNER: Well, we met to have a conversation about what's happening in the world---and the financial system. At that time, I--you know, I was running the New York Fed at that point.
ROMANO: This was before the election?
GEITHNER: Yeah.
ROMANO: And did you think you were in an audition at that point?
GEITHNER: You know, we did talk about--you know, we talked about the world. We talked about me a little bit. We talked about Washington at that point.
ROMANO: How many hours a day do you work?
GEITHNER: I work a lot of hours--just about enough.
ROMANO: So how many is that? Do you get a chance to relax? Do you work out? What do you do in your spare time?
GEITHNER: I exercise.
ROMANO: What do you do?
GEITHNER: I read, and I work.
ROMANO: What--where do you exercise? I mean, do any serious exercising or...
GEITHNER: I do quite serious exercising.
ROMANO: Like what? Is there something in the building here?
GEITHNER: There's a gym.
ROMANO: You look healthy is why I'm asking.
GEITHNER: I run. I run.
ROMANO: Okay.
GEITHNER: I play any sport---any sport I can, as much as I can and I--usually, I bike and swim too.
ROMANO: What--what sports do you play?
GEITHNER: I play tennis. I play basketball.
ROMANO: Did you--have you played basketball with the President?
GEITHNER: No. The President's really good at basketball. Actually, he--he says he's good. I'm not sure actually how good he is, but, yeah, I think he's--he's a better basketball player than I am.
ROMANO: So what--what kind of advice have you gotten from your friends or family or support, you know, to deal with all the pressure and all the criticism and--that you're getting?
GEITHNER: Well, they just say the right thing, which is to stay focused on doing what you believe in, and that's the only thing you can do is to make sure you're doing the best job you can, trying to sort through what are just always bad options.
There's no good options in this area, and just make sure you're thinking through the best choices, make sure the President has got the best advice you can.
ROMANO: Do you read the news stories about yourself?
GEITHNER: I--I generally don't read about myself in the papers. If people tell me I have to read something, I'll read it
ROMANO: And is that basically to keep sane?
GEITHNER: Just a good strategy. It really is a good strategy. If you--if you focus on the perceptions, you won't get the policy right.
ROMANO: Okay, great. Thank you so much for joining us.
GEITHNER: Good to meet you. Thank you.

The Medicaid program to provide health coverage for low-income people began in 1965 with the passage of title XIX of the Social Security Act. It has always been an entitlement, with no defined limit on the number of beneficiaries or the cost of the program. As long as a person meets the eligibility requirements for participation in the program, that person receives Medicaid benefits, regardless of total cost to taxpayers, say Dr. Roger Stark, a policy analyst, and Colin Swanson, a research assistant, both with the Washington Policy Center.
From the beginning, a link was established between Medicaid eligibility and the welfare program, Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). Medicaid is now the largest health insurance system in the United States and is the largest means-tested health care program in the world, say Stark and Swanson.
The cost of Medicaid is shared between federal and state governments. Each state receives federal money on a sliding scale based on average personal income, with poorer states getting a higher percentage of federal funds, say Stark and Swanson. For example:
- Alabama and Arkansas receive 69 percent and 73 percent federal funding respectively, whereas a number of wealthier states receive the minimum of 50 percent of federal money for their Medicaid match.
- At present, the average match for Medicaid spending is 57 percent in federal money and 43 percent in state funds.
Other findings:
- Medicaid spending is now the fastest growing line item in almost every state budget; in 2006, Medicaid spending accounted for fully 23 percent of the average state budget.
- When enacted in the mid-1960s, Congress estimated Medicaid would cost around $500 million the first year; the actual cost was double that, $1 billion.
- By 1970 the cost of the program had grown to $5 billion; in the years following the cost of Medicaid ballooned, reaching a total of $336 billion a year by 2007.
Since the 1980s, Washington state officials have manipulated the federal program to receive extra matching money. Washington state's proposed provider tax and the proposed "bed tax" on nursing homes are examples of how state officials adopt policies in an effort to leverage more federal funding from the Medicaid program. Since Medicaid is an entitlement with no statutory limit on spending, there is no limit to how much state officials can try to gain from the program, say Stark and Swanson.

A century after the 1917 October Revolution, this turning point in Russian history remains a major event in modern consciousness.
In her exciting talk, the curator of the upcoming Royal Academy landmark exhibition Revolution: Russian Art 1917 – 1932, Dr. Natalia Murray, looks at the role of art in a classless society without an art market. Against the background of Russian Modernists Chagall, Kandinsky and Malevich, she answers the question: was art useful for the socialist revolution or was the revolution useful for art?
In time for the opening of the Royal Academy's
Revolution: Russian Art 1917–1932 (11 February — 17 April 2017)

Every on occasion we accidentally wake up a few hours early, and you also know what happens in my experience? Well, I feel nearly an expression of peace on earth.

Precious metals were stronger yesterday with average gains of two percent with gold prices up 1.9 percent and the others up between 1.7 and 2.2 percent – concerns about China and emerging markets causing contagion in broader markets seems to have refocused investors' interest in bullion.
The base metals were mixed yesterday, closing with average gains of 0.4 percent, copper led on the upside with a 1.7 percent gain to $5,090, aluminium, zinc and lead were firmer, while nickel and tin were down an average of 0.9 percent.
This morning the gold prices are leading the way on the upside with a 0.8 percent gain to $1,164.40, the rest are up between 0.4 and 0.7 percent.
Base metals are mixed this morning, but generally little changed with copper off 0.2 percent at $5,077.50, the rest are up between 0.1 and 0.3 percent. Volume has been average with 3,883 lots traded as of 06:05 BST – so far this week volume at this time of day has averaged 3,212 lots, down from an average of 10,523 lots last week, so the markets do seem to have settled down after the post-Chinese devaluation gyrations.
In China, the base metals are for the most part firmer by an average of 0.6 percent with copper up the most with a 1.1 percent gain to Rmb 38,990, while nickel and tin are negative, with tin down 1.2 percent and nickel off 0.4 percent. The latter two may be off as China has forced some heavy industry to halt production to clean the air around Beijing, this is especially affecting the steel industry, which could be impacting the stainless steel and tin-plating industries.
Spot copper in Changjiang is up 0.9 percent at Rmb 39,100-39,200, the backwardation with the October contracts is at an equivalent of $32 per tonne and the LME/Shanghai copper arb ratio is at 7.77, which means the arb window is open – this finally seems to be underpinning copper, but reports suggest copper is being imported for financial reasons, rather than for consumption – that said, perhaps the SRB are also in the market.
Other metals in China are mixed, gold is up 3.2 percent, silver is up 1.9 percent, steel rebar is unchanged, while iron ore is weaker at $55.80.
Equities around the global are now in retreat as concerns about China and emerging markets and the possible contagion from these regions to developed markets seems to be weighing on sentiment. Yesterday, the Euro Stoxx 50 closed off 2.2 percent and the Dow closed down 2.1 percent and Asia is down heavily this morning with the Nikkei off 2.8 percent, the Hang Seng is off 2.4 percent, the CSI 300 is down 4.4 percent and the Kospi is off 1.7 percent. The weakness looks set to circumnavigate the globe again as the pre-market Dax is off around 3 percent.
Currencies – despite continuing emerging market currency weakness the dollar index is falling too, last at 95.44, while the euro, sterling and yen are stronger at 1.1290, 1.5696 and 122.87. The aussie is flat-lined at 0.7305, the rouble is weak at 67.44, as is the yuan at 6.4522 and the rupee, rupiah and rand are all weaker, while the real is consolidating in low ground.
The economic data is focused on flash PMI – so far Japan and China's manufacturing PMIs have come in lower than expected at 51,9 and 47.1 respectively. Later we get manufacturing and services PMI data out across Europe and the US, with data on UK public sector borrowing requirements and EU consumer confidence – see table below for more details.
Given the poor Chinese PMI data it is somewhat surprising that the base metals are not weaker, but it looks as though a lot of bad news is now priced-in. The rallies underway are likely to be driven by non-fundamental factors, such demand for financial reasons in China and general short-covering. We have been expecting short-covering rallies and now these seem to be getting underway. Given how bearish sentiment has been, there may be a considerable counter-trend move, but conversely the bearish fundamentals are likely to encourage scale up selling too. For now, we expect the rallies to run further.
Gold prices are leading a broad based rally in the precious metals driven by safe-haven demand, but in turn that is likely to be fuelled by short-covering. As the fund gross short positions have become large there may well be room for considerable rallies.

BRITISH girl group Little Mix were given an 'accent challenge' during a recent interview, and the results were ... interesting, to say the least.
In particular, group member Jesy's attempt at a Jamaican accent was so bizarre, it's become a viral hit, with a clip racking up almost 70,000 shares on the video network Vine.
There's much to love about the brief clip, which you can watch below — and trust us, you'll want to watch it more than once.
We love the way Jesy pauses for a few seconds, considering how best to attempt a Jamaican accent. We love the sudden, garbled mess she eventually comes out with ('Balengshe'? 'Balaytney'? 'Adele Darzeen'?). Most of all, we love the stunned, silent faces of her three band mates.
The UK pop outfit have scored two top 10 albums here in Australia in recent years, and are on track this week for their eighth hit single in their homeland. It's just as well — we're guessing Jamaica won't exactly be a big market for them after this video.

Leading consulting group with a 360° approach
More than 25 per cent of the population in Europe are exposed to noise levels exceeding guidelines for road traffic noise
Road traffic is a major contributor to environmental noise, particular in urban areas. More than 25 per cent of the population in Europe are exposed to noise levels exceeding guidelines for road traffic noise. Therefore the EU and national governments have had noise on the agenda for many years. COWI has been involved since 1979 when the first noise mitigation projects were introduced.
We are an experienced partner in connection with:
We use the noise calculation programme SoundPLAN and CadnaA to calculate road traffic noise. Results are presented in an easily accessible form using coloured noise contour maps. We offer easy-to-understand presentations including colour maps and sound demos based on many years of experience with public hearings and enquiries.
Noise and vibration are significant environmental issues along railway lines. A number of initiatives are under way to improve the situation, e.g. retrofitting of cast iron brake blocks, improved track design and construction and TSI regulations of rolling stock.
We offer the following services:
COWI uses the latest technology and software. In noise and vibration mapping projects we use GIS and available databases in order to make the mapping as fast and efficient as possible. Noise issues are presented in an easily accessible form.
Surveys have proven that noise from aircrafts is the most annoying source of transport noise, meaning the noise at a certain level is most annoying when it is caused by aircraft movements.
Noise from airports is regulated by standards from the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the EU. COWI calculates noise levels from take-off and landing as well as from noisy ground operations like engine testing, workshops and ground power units (GPU).

Royal Saltworks of Arc et Senans, begun in 1770, is a masterpiece of industrial architecture, reflecting the ideal of progress of the Enlightenment. The architectural heritage of the Royal Saltworks, its history and its rehabilitation make it a unique monument that remains a rare example of industrial history and architecture classified as a World Heritage site by UNESCO.
As for the Great Saltworks of Salins-les-Bains, active for 12 centuries, it marked the history of the production of open-pan salt (by evaporation). This "white gold" was an essential commodity of great economic importance, and for several centuries the state levied a tax on its sale, the salt tax. Visiting the two sites allows visitors to relive their prestigious history.
World Heritage
The saltworks of Salins-les-Bains and Arc-et-Senans demonstrate outstanding universal value in terms of the chronological timeframe during which the extraction of salt lasted in Salins, certainly from the Middle Ages, and probably from prehistoric times, to the 20th century. The thermal spa aspect of the site is still in use today. The saltworks also demonstrates outstanding universal value by the specificity of salt production in Salins-les-Bains and Arc-et-Senans, based on a technique of tapping sources of salt deep underground, the use of fire to evaporate the brine and the 18th century innovation of creating a 21 kilometer-long pipeline to carry the brine between the two sites. The saltworks express their value as well in the exceptional architectural quality of the Royal Saltworks of Arc-et-Senans and its participation in the movement of ideas in the Age of Enlightenment. It is testimony to a visionary architectural project of a 'model factory.' Developed and built by the architect and supervisor of saltworks in Franche-Comté and Lorraine, Claude-Nicolas Ledoux (1736–1806), Arc-et-Senans is the modern and Utopian extension of the Great Saltworks of Salins-les-Bains.
The Royal Saltworks of Arc et Senans was chosen as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982. In 2009, The Saltworks of Salins-les-Bains joined the Royal Saltworks of Arc-et-Senans on the World Heritage List because of its important industrial heritage.
Criteria for selection
Criterion (i): The Royal Saltworks at Arc-et-Senans is the first architectural complex on this scale and of this standard designed as a place of work. This is the first instance of a factory being built with the same care and concern for architectural quality as a palace or an important religious building. It is one of the rare examples of visionary architecture. The Saltworks was the heart of an Ideal City that Claude-Nicolas Ledoux imagined and designed encircling the factory. The unfinished Utopian architecture of the Saltworks still carries the full impact of its futuristic message.
Criterion (ii): The Royal Saltworks of Arc-et-Senans bears witness to a fundamental cultural change in Europe at the end of the 18th century: the birth of industrial society. Besides being a perfect illustration of an entire philosophical current that swept Europe during the Age of Enlightenment, the Royal Saltworks heralded the industrial architecture that was to develop half a century later.
Criterion (iv): The saltworks of Salins-les-Bains and Arc-et-Senans provide an outstanding technical ensemble for the extraction and production of salt by pumping underground brine and the use of fire for its crystallization, since at least the Middle Ages through to the 20th century.

I loved reading your birthday memories...one of my fave birthday memories was our 16th, we had 16 girls over for a sleepover. Too much fun.
I am so happy you got a call back! I got your comment on my blackberry while I was in the bank and totally smiled for you! And celebratory shots will be taken in your honor this weekend!
Love your face, lady!

Congrats on the job call backs! Yay!
1. When I'm nervous I tend to ramble too!
2. My favorite item in my closet are my knee high Coach Monet boots even though I haven't worn them! This is followed closely by my Goldenbleu bags - I'm a bag girl and may be getting my first Chanel soon!
3. Talking it out with my husband is my favorite thing to do when I need to relax.
4. My favorite childhood memory is traveling with my cousins/brother/aunt + uncle to various places throughout the west coast (Disneyland up to Las Vegas)
5. Something you may not know about me is that I was the school story telling champion in 4th grade.
6. A true friend is there through every phase of your life.
7. Something I hope people think of when they think of me is wow, that girl can bake, has great style, and is pretty cool.
