it feels as if the director is just trying to fit in as many cliches into this anime as he/she can without caring at all for the plot. Im still not even sure what shido is trying to do by helping these girls out. the dating sim part of this anime is just plain stupid and annoying. Ill probably keep watching this anime as a time waster,but I dont think Ill be excited for it every week.
you can see from a mile away where this anime is going(tohka feels betrayed when she finds out shido is part of an organization and he was instructed to date her, and leaves him for a bit while some other powerful spirit ravages cities, then shido apologizes, she forgives him and saves the day).

HAPPENING NOW [VERY IMPORTANT]: Venezuela's soldiers are killing their people. The Government is sending their armed gangs to kill them and they have censored all the media in their country, even blocking photos posted on social media sites. They shut down all the cable channels that broadcast news, so they can't know what's going on. The people have no source of protection at all. Students are protesting to save their country and their lives at this very moment. All they have are their social networks to get the word out so, PLEASE RE-BLOG THIS AND SPREAD THE WORD. VENEZUELA IS ON THE BRINK OF A CIVIL WAR AND CLOSE TO BECOMING A FULL COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP. THEIR PEOPLE NEED YOUR HELP. —— Please, this is very important to me, one of my closest friends went to visit family in Venezuela over winter break and they won't let him come back to Florida. We're graduating in a few months and it hurts me to know that his baseball career and all of his hard work and dedication to his grades here in the U.S. was all for nothing. Please.

Meeting Jared Padalecki.
Today, around 6PM on a Tuesday night was a slow night for Kukuruza when all of the sudden, guess who waltzes in.
Jared Frickin Padalecki.
My immediate reaction (and perhaps now thinking back, was a bit inappropriate) was to yell rather loudly "OH MY GOD". Jared being really sweet said hello with a smile and asked me my name. I told him it was Anna, and he gave me his name. And of course I said "I know who you are" As my coworker (who had no idea who he was) helped another customer, I asked Jared if we could take a picture. He agreed, took my phone from me and snapped this shot. Returning to work, I asked him what brought him to Seattle (where Kukuruza is located) He said he was filming in Vancouver and that his wife was in labor with their second child, and being unable to make it back to Texas (where he is from) They decided to have the child here. He asked me to sell him on some popcorn and I did. Selling him several bags, we chatted about Supernatural, his family and being a "celebrity" Which he responded to with "I'm not a celebrity, i'm just a dude. And a dad." I finished bagging his popcorn and rang him up, punching him a punch card. He said he'd definitely be back. I'm hoping next time he'll bring Jensen ;) All in all it was an incredible experience. He truly was a sweet, kind, down to earth man. And yes, ladies - he was just as cute in person. If not cuter! And he tipped well! My heart is still pounding!!

Arnie, a stray cat who became known for his extraordinary talent as a "babysitter" of abandoned newborn animals brought to the Linton Zoo, passed away peacefully last week. Arnie's favorite creatures were lion cubs, and he babysat all four of the zoo's adult lions as well as some of their cubs.
Arnie wandered onto the zoo property in 2000 and quickly worked his way into the hearts of the zoo staff. Named after Arnold Schwarzenegger, Arnie gained fame after photos of him with a lion cub made international headlines. Even after his moments in the spotlight, Arnie didn't let fame go to his head. He continued in his role as a friend to all, greeting zoo guests (especially those who were carrying tasty treats), controlling pests, and cheering up anyone who was feeling down.
Linton Zoo staff described Arnie as a "real life Garfield" whose outstanding personality will be missed by not only the people who loved him, but by his many animal friends around the zoo - especially the animals that he babysat over the years. {Article}
Rest in peace, Arnie.

June 14, 2007
Albany - Here's another reason for you to be upset about high gas prices: They're leading to higher prices on many other products. It's costing more to transport items. That extra cost is showing up at the grocery store.
It doesn't take much to squeeze the wallet these days. A few oranges, a head of lettuce, and already, the price hike is evident. Last year, naval oranges would have cost you $1.11 per pound. Now, they're $1.69 a pound. In general citrus prices have gone up a lot this year. Last year, you could get this two pound bag of lemons for about $2.88. Now, it's $4.49.
"Like everything else right now," said Joe Maxey, "it seems like right now prices are high." Even iceberg lettuce. A pound last year was only $.85/lb You can't even buy half a head for that price now. "It's outrageous," said Lisa Bryant.
The price of some of your favorite breakfast foods has also gone up. Last year a pound of bacon would cost you about $3.40. Now, it's $5.49.
Want to scramble things up? Remember when you could buy a dozen eggs for under a buck? Well, it appears those days are long gone. Now they are $1.49/dozen compared to $1.24 this time last year. As for O-J... the price of concentrated canned juice has gone up about $.60.
One of the biggest shocks to your system, may be a gallon of milk. Last year at this time, it was about $3/gallon. It's $3.79 now and experts say it could reach $5 by the end of the summer.
Maxey said, "You have to be careful."
In all, total came to a difference of about seven bucks, and that's for just a handful of items. So you may want to consider Maxey's strategy. "I come a lot and look for bargains to buy."
Or do what Lisa Bryant does when she finds a deal. "Stock up. Stock up." And get the best price you can, while you can.

Default risk and fiscal sustainability in PIIGS countries
AbstractEuropean Monetary Union experiences the division into two major blocks according to their ability to respect fiscal criteria and replace their bonds on the market. The so-called PIIGS countries are asked to hardly reduce their deficit and debt in order to prevent speculative attacks and preserve the Currency Union. The aim of the paper is to show that speculative attacks on government debt are not directly linked to default probability, but to liquidity requirements and to the EU fiscal constraints. In times of crisis the path of deficit/GDP ratio goes up and send the signal that governments are loosening their fiscal stance. As far as there are liquidity constraints, markets increase the spreads and force governments to fiscal retrenchments, hardly increasing the cost of adjustment. The result is that in the absence of a bailout shared mechanism financial markets give policy prescriptions and exert a political pressure without having fiscal sovereignty.

Went out duck hunting last weekend. Only got two ducks that morning but we still had a great time and got a some cool photos.
A while back I froze this bottle of Reyka. I ended chipping away at this one for a few hours before I got the result I was looking for. I am quite happy with it!
The other day I found some old family photos stuffed away in our basement. After seeing many people not only restore aged images, but also recolor them, I decided to give it a try myself.
My new EDC knife, the Spyderco Delica 4. This knife is hella sharp.
On another note, I'm now 21! Believe it or not I have not drank before apart from when I was in 3rd grade and I tasted the very bottom of my Father's Guinness, which I spat out almost immediately. Ha.
It has been years since I've ridden a completely fresh setup. They look so damn good I fear even scuffing them while trying them on (I know I'm not alone on this one). At least photographing them fresh out of the box will help me cope when I begin to shred these. Purchased these bad boys from eRolling.
Layouts by Aviraj Singh. Avi and I graduated from the same high school and both attended Madison College (I was in the photo program while Avi was in graphics). This is from a joint project of ours when we were in school. Please go check out his work, and hire him to do your graphics! http://avirajbharya.com/
Hey everyone!
Recently I submitted the image above to PDN's The Shot Sports Photography Contest. Currently I'm second place in their Fan Favorite section! Show some love and cast a vote for my image! Link to vote is here: bitly.com/RvTbRY

Start the Revolution Without Me: A Review of Revolution
- Monday, October 08, 2012
The Apocalypse continues this fall on NBC. After crashing through Battlestar Galactica, Jericho, Lost, Flash Forward, The Event, The Walking Dead, Falling Skies, Terra Nova—did I miss anyone?—it lands with a soft thump at the bottom dwelling Peacock Network where 21st century society is thrown back to the 18th century when the all electrical power stops working. As you can tell from some of the shows on the list above, having civilization collapse isn't always a guarantee of ratings but this fall season's experiment in catastrophe is making a less than electrifying effort.
The pilot starts in our time, in Chicago as Ben Matheson bursts in the door of his house in a panic and tells his wife to start filling water bottles and the bathtub. His wife Rachel (Elisabeth Mitchell of Lost and another short-lived catastrophe series, V) responds, "It's happening, isn't it?" And as Ben is downloading data from his computer into a USB drive, a low hum rises all around them and the lights flicker and the power dies—and there's a kind of hush, all over the world that night. Planes fall from the sky, cars stop rolling, cell phones die and the world turns black. The story picks up fifteen years later as what was the United States has become an agrarian society fought over by various armed militia with the Monroe Militia controlling the local area. Gun ownership is forbidden for civilians and the remaining firearms (muskets, rifles, automatics, etc.) are mostly held by the militia, but everybody often uses swords to save on gunpowder and bullets.
A squad of militia enter the community led Captain Tom Neville (played by Giancarlo Esposito, so creepily evil on Breaking Bad, and just as nasty in a different way here) who says he's here to take Ben into custody. When the locals try to resist Tom's capture, guns go off and Ben's mortally wounded. Having earlier given his tech geek friend Aaron Pittman his unique flash drive before he dies, with his dying breath he tells Aaron to get it to his brother Miles in Chicago, and the militia takes his teenage son Danny instead. Meanwhile, Ben's young daughter, Charlie, who's been off sulking like a typical teen, arrives with her crossbow (clearly inspired by Katniss from The Hunger Games) too late to help and now she's got guilt so she joins Aaron in the journey to Chicago.
I first saw the trailer online for the new series last summer, thinking it was a movie. But I quickly noticed how nicely everyone was dressed, like they'd pillaged nearby Banana Republic and Gap stores after the blackout—they were too decked out to be in a dystopian movie. Similarly, everyone's hair looked clean and well coifed, and the women's skin had rosy cheeks. If The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and Lost has taught us anything about premodern and post-disaster life in the wild, it's that no one's hair and skin survives exposure to such a harsh existence looking like television actors on a photo shoot. Charlie is often shot with lovely backlighting no matter what direction she's facing.
If the cast looks surprisingly fresh, the show's production design is jarringly realistic.Cities are overgrown with vines and weeds. Automobile hulks sit rusting in the sun; such a tarnished world is the only part of the series that feels real. As Charlie and company reach Chicago, she walks into a bar and asks the bartender if he knows where Miles Matheson is. Wouldn't you know it, the bartender just happens to be her Uncle Miles; what are the chances? Indeed the first hour of the show is full of such rushed and improbable plotting and it doesn't spend much time developing characters we care about. Miles (Billy Burke) is the classic reluctant hero, obviously hiding things, and somewhat disreputable, but when militia members show up, he's a wizard with his sword. Charlie guilts him into helping them find her brother and soon they're off to find Captain Neville's headquarters.

The Powder Bible
The Powder Bible is a world first Ski Travel eBook.
First released in PDF format and soon to be followed with versions for the Apple iBook Store and Kindle Store, The Powder Bible is a comprehensive guide to maximising your valuable vacation time on snow.
Modern day ski trip planning is so much more than choosing a resort from glossy brochures months in advance and hoping that it snows.
True powder connoisseurs refuse to be locked into a schedule, instead following snowfall to ensure consistent powder skiing. The Powder Bible is an invaluable resource containing a proven method to ensure the best conditions in the region. The Philosophy of The Powder Bible is 'Knowledge = Pow(d)er' and contains valuable links to a wealth of Internet resources covering up-to-the-minute snow reports, custom weather forecasts and other social media repositories.
The Powder Bible has also reviewed 35 top resorts worldwide in its Resort Guide – each one of these resorts is renowned for its Powder, Off-Piste or Backcountry skiing. Each resort has a 2 page spread covering relevant Facts/Figures, Snowfall data, Best areas to ski powder, plus comments on Dining/Nightlife and Local's Tips.
About the Author
Richard Ross is a skiing addict.
First skiing in-utero at Mt Buller Australia, Richard fell in love with skiing in his early years, and through his teens it became the major focus in his life. After completing University he successfully tried out for a position at Mt Buller's Ski School as a Ski Instructor, a position he held for 10 years and allowed him to travel the world skiing for over 20 consecutive winters. During this time he became a fully certified instructor by the APSI and then a Trainer and Examiner, being responsible for the hiring, mentoring and certification of new Instructors.
In the Northern winters he spent the majority of his time domiciled in Colorado and Utah but frequently travelling to many of the major snow destinations in the world.
He has recently discovered a love for ski touring and backcountry skiing after 2 spectacular trips to the French Alps, in particular Chamonix, which have been chronicled on his personal blog http://aussieskier.com
During this time he became quite an insufferable snob when it came to ski travel destinations. He realised early on that not all resorts were created equal and refused to accept why people invested so much time and money into poor destinations. Meanwhile whenever Richard and his wife Nicole travelled to ski it seemed to always be in powder. Luck had nothing to do with it, careful planning and a set of rules that are described in the Powder Bible allowed this. It was this sentiment that led to the creation of The Powder Bible.

At Marsh, we are committed to serving our neighbors in the same way we want to be served: with integrity. We pay farmers a fair price, while giving you uncompromised service and products. We're determined to offer only the freshest, safest and most delicious meat at excellent values every day. You won't eat any better than when you let us help you put together meals for those you love.
Making the Grade
Marsh Signature is a select group of top quality, grade-A meats, chosen by our expert meat buyers. To find suppliers, they search the nation for the best farms and ranches, reviewing farming practices, tasting products and conducting interviews.
Marsh Signature Beef
When it comes to selecting premium beef, most food professionals agree Black Angus cattle are the gold standard for being tender and tasty. Deeply flavorful and juicy, steaks and other cuts from this breed were first introduced to America from Scotland in the late-1800s.
Creekstone Farms Premium Black Angus Beef is the beef of choice at all Marsh Supermarkets. Cattle experts at Creekstone believe in producing quality, not quantity. The company has worked for more than a decade to attain the nation's highest quality beef using exceptional cattle management practices.
• It has one of the few branded programs certified by the USDA.
• The herds have verifiable Black Angus genetics.
• Cattle are born, raised and grazed in the United States.
• Animals are fed high-quality, corn-based feed.
• Cattle receive humane treatment.
• The last step in production is a state-of-the-art processing facility.
Why is Angus beef better? Beef is graded based on marbling—the amount of intramuscular fat. Chefs know that some marbling is needed for best flavor, tenderness and moisture. Angus beef develops superior marbling compared to most cattle, making each bite an outstanding experience. Marsh chose Creekstone Farms for this signature line because it offers some of the best beef in the world, earning a high rank on the USDA grading scale.
Marsh Signature Pork
Indiana pork producers are passionate about producing premium-quality pork, providing Marsh with its enviable selections. Producers raise their own breeding stock, which leads to exceptionally tasty, lean hams. The animals are fed a special diet high in corn and soybean meal, and are raised under strict quality assurance standards established by the National Pork Producers Council.
Why is Marsh Honey Gold Spiral Sliced Ham better? It begins with the farmers who supply animals to Indiana Kitchen, our pork processor. All are dedicated to serving Marsh and our customers with quality meat. This is a more healthful, leaner pork that compares favorably for fat, calories and cholesterol with other meats, and even with poultry. Many cuts meet government guidelines for "lean" or "extra lean."
Marsh Signature Poultry
The freshest, plumpest and most full-flavored chickens are available at Marsh. For a premium dish, try our best-in-the-market air-chilled chicken. Produced by Miller Poultry in northern Indiana, the birds are chilled by cold air, rather than by cold-water immersion. The process delivers a bird with lower water content and a more "chicken-y" taste compared to conventionally frozen chicken.
This is 100 percent natural chicken, which can be purchased as whole fryers or cut up as wings, breasts, drumsticks and thighs.
Marsh carries a variety of poultry, including turkeys, ducks and geese. Turkeys are available year-round, though the stock is highest at the holidays. In the off-season, you can request a whole turkey at the meat counter and it will be ready for pick-up in two or three days.

Product review: Magic curry paste! »
Magic Curry Pastes, by Magic Curry Kart, are vegan and naturally gluten-free Thai pastes available in the San Francisco Bay Area. They recently asked me if I wanted to review their pastes, which I very much did, and I was impressed! The pastes, when mixed with coconut milk, are comparable to a curry sauce from your favorite Thai restaurant! This is fantastic news; now we can get delicious restaurant-style food for a fraction of the cost and no delivery fees! You, know the important things in life.
I made three different entrees, each featuring a different paste, which I will now show off to you.
First I made a vegetable stir-fry with fried tofu, using the Mellow Yellow curry paste. It was delicious! I followed the instructions on the jar for making the sauce, and used a 14 ounce can of coconut milk mixed with two tablespoons of paste. I did find myself adding a little salt and pepper, though it's nice that the pre-made sauce does not come too salty for those sensitive to sodium. The description does not lie, the yellow paste was definitely the mellowest of the three! My favorite aspect of this paste was the fresh ginger taste. If stir-fry isn't your thing, the Magic Pumpkin Curry soup recipe on their website looks phenom!
Next up I used the spicy red curry paste and tried to get all Zante's by making a pizza with it! I was pleased with the results, but in the future, if i'm going to try and make a gluten-free pizza, I'm nixing the idea of making a crust from scratch and going with my tried-and-true Vicolo's pre-made crust. (Gluten-free or regular, it's the best pre-made pizza crust around!) I liked the spiciness of this particular paste; it had a bit of a kick, so if spicy curry is your thing I definitely recommend the Fresh Red Thai paste. Again, to make the sauce I mixed a 14 ounce can of coconut milk with two tablespoons of paste.
The third dish I made, using the Fresh Green Thai paste, was a stir-fry featuring vegan "shrimp". This was my favorite paste for a variety of reasons! First, I nixed the instructions and made the curry sauce with 3/4 of a can of coconut milk and 3/4 of a jar of paste. (You can use the remainder of the coconut milk to make ganache. No waste around here!) Vegan shrimp is also one of the loves of my life, so I'm sure that had something to do with this particular paste being my favorite. I am a fan of spicy and tangy foods, and so the green curry had it all for me.
My verdict is that these pastes are awesome! They are so easy to use, and you can experiment with the flavor of the sauces to your unique palate by adjusting the coconut to paste ratio. As of right now they are only available in the Bay Area (I always see them at Whole Foods, four ounces for about $6.00, or you can get them wholesale through BFF) and must be refrigerated. May I suggest you pick some up today so you can continue to quantity-watch your favorite Netflix series, with restaurant-style curry sans delivery fee at home? I am a fan of that luxurious life! Don't forget to check out the Magic Curry Kart website for creative recipes, updates, and backstory!

Buyer's Best Friend is located at 1740 Haight St. in San Francisco, between Cole and Shrader in the Upper Haight!

The agency that regulates California's alcohol sales through undercover stings at bars, restaurants and retailers has spent more than $70,000 outfitting its agents with gas masks and bulletproof helmets.
The state's Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control says the equipment is essential to keeping its sworn agents, who are law enforcement officers with all-encompassing authority, prepared for any circumstances they might encounter.
"We want to make sure that our agents have the protective equipment they need so they can go home at night," said Tim Gorsuch, the department's chief deputy director.
The nature of their work rarely puts the department's 132 officers in the line of fire. When it does, they nearly always call in local police.
"If you think about it, everything they do is in somebody else's jurisdiction," said former Sacramento County Sheriff John McGinness. "As a matter of protocol and professional courtesy, it's appropriate to call in local authorities. You want the uniforms (police officers or sheriff's deputies) to go in first."
ABC's $55 million budget relies on licensing fees from about 115,000 California businesses that sell, import or manufacture alcohol. Any fines levied from agents' investigations go to the county government in which the offense occurs.
From July 1, 2010, to March 1, 2012, ABC agents made 3,834 arrests, many through undercover stings at the bars, stores and restaurants that are the focus of the department's efforts, according to ABC statistics.
Alcohol crimes selling or giving alcoholic beverages to minors or underage customers purchasing alcoholic beverages accounted for 2,866 of those arrests.
The remainder ran the gamut from narcotics sales, drunken driving and illegal slot machines to illicit firearms sales, prostitution and other crimes in and around businesses that sell alcohol.
ABC agents rarely find themselves in gunfights because, Gorsuch said, "our officers know when to engage and when to disengage."
The department doesn't have data on agent-involved shootings, but Gorsuch recalled five incidents in the last nine years.
"Since we don't track this information in a formal way, I can't tell you exactly how many (incidents) our agents have been associated with while working with allied law enforcement agencies," Gorsuch said in an email.
Purchase records obtained by The Bee through a Public Records Act request show that the department ordered 170 ballistic helmets from Los Angeles-based Botach Tactical in October 2011 for a total $46,693.46 and received them the following month.
On June 26 of this year, the department tapped DirectGov Source, a Chico manufacturer of safety and medical equipment, for 103 gas masks received in early August. Total cost: $25,520.43.
Letters from ABC to the Department of General Services defended the purchases as "vital and mission critical to the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control."
Before buying its own helmets and gas masks, ABC used to borrow the equipment from other agencies when working higher-risk assignments as part of drug task forces supplementing local law enforcement crowd-control efforts as a show of force.
Gorsuch said the department doesn't keep track of how many times ABC agents have taken on those duties.
The equipment issued to alcohol investigators in other states varies depending on politics and the scope of their work.
Special agents with Florida's Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco, for example, are sworn public safety officers. Like their California counterparts, they have statewide law enforcement jurisdiction.
"Our special agents are equipped with standard law enforcement equipment including firearms, bullet-resistant body armor, impact weapons and chemical spray," said spokeswoman Sandi Copes.
Florida doesn't issue headgear for those agents, but they get gas masks as part of a statewide policy enacted after 9/11.
On the other end of the spectrum, alcohol regulators in New York aren't police officers. They don't make arrests, so they don't receive the equipment, pay and benefits that go with the designation.
California confers public safety status on a wide array of state employees, from insurance auditors to dairy inspectors, but equips them differently.
State hospital police officers can't carry firearms on facility grounds by order of the director of state hospitals. Gov. Jerry Brown in September vetoed a bill intended to change that policy. The police union, the California Statewide Law Enforcement Association, has lobbied State Hospitals Director Cliff Allenby to loosen his gun ban.
Auditors and attorneys working for the state prison system's inspector general used to be sworn peace officers who carried guns and drove law-enforcement vehicles.
A 2010 Senate report blasted the arrangement as a perversion of its original intent to create a small group of skilled investigators and attorneys who would be "the cops' cops" who would ferret out deeply embedded abuses in the prison system, said Inspector General Bob Barton.
Not long after the report, then-Inspector General David Shaw resigned. The Legislature withdrew the peace officer status of the auditors and attorneys, and the department sold off its surplus equipment.
Barton, who replaced Shaw last year, said those changes made sense because the more dangerous aspects of the investigators' job no longer exist.
"We're still able to do all the work we're required to do," Barton said. "And if we do need help, we can always go to outside agencies."

New Basel Banking Regulations Mean Every Bank is its Own Cop
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, a global group made up of central banks, just came out with its new bank capital standards, the Third Basel Accord (Basel III), to address some of the problems and weaknesses in global financial regulation.
These problems were seen to have been a partial cause of the global financial crisis.
When banking systems adopt the regulations, which are completely voluntary, it's seen as a step towards greater transparency, a more robust system. It's seen as regulators finally getting tough. This is all part of the mad, frantic scramble for... credibility among regulators.
Sounds Good In Theory
The latest round of Basel III regulations, which were approved and adopted by the Fed just last week, call for banks to begin strengthening and improving the quality of their capital reserves. Quantity and quality of capital are absolutely vital to a healthy banking system.
It was the paradigm of the "honest-to-god, AAA mortgage-backed security," with all of its rubbish quality, willfully overstated and overestimated by U.S. ratings agencies, which helped lead us down the path to collapse just five years ago.
So why not have the banks shore up their defenses, take on more capital of good quality?

Too Big To Jail: It's a Dark Day For the Rule of Law
The opening line of a December 11, 2012 New York Times editorial on federal and state authorities choosing not to indict HSBC for money laundering reads: "It is a dark day for the rule of law."
It may be a dark day for the rule of law, but it's business as usual for the banks.
America's heralded and frighteningly powerful Department of Justice, along with all of the not so heralded or frightening banking regulators, simply refused to prosecute Britain's biggest bank out of fear of "collateral consequences."
In other words, they're "too big to prosecute."
That's what Andrew Bailey, the chief executive-designate of the Prudential Regulation Authority, said about the usual deferred prosecution agreement that accompanied HSBC's $1.9 billion fine. The Prudential Regulation Authority is set to replace the U.K.'s Financial Services Authority - the country's current toothless watch dog,
It's just another example of too big to fail and too big to jail.
Deferred prosecution agreements and hefty fines levied against the world's TBTF banks have become commonplace. Still, there are relatively few criminal charges, just wrist-slapping, don't-do-it-again fines and public spankings.
It is a dark day for the rule of law because the money cloak has effectively been cast over all things having to do with justice.
Let's call it what it is: buying immunity.

Fed Lets Banks Off the Hook… Again
We've told you before that the U.S. Federal Reserve puts Wall Street's interest above that of the American public. And yesterday (Wednesday) the central bank proved it... again.
Confronted with the opportunity to enact meaningful change to the regulatory system, the Fed punted on its responsibility to protect the public from the very banks that brought down the global economy.
This once again proves that the Fed, far from being a guardian of public welfare, is actually on the side of big banks.
"The Fed is an agent of the banks and, as such, it continues to come up with new ways for them to make money, risk free," said Money MorningCapital Waves Strategist Shah Gilani.
This time, instead of proposing strong guidelines that would actually do something to avoid another crisis caused by too-big-to-fail banks, the Fed put forth a plan that lacks key details and leaves important decisions in the hands of international regulators in Basil, Switzerland.
Specifically, the Fed proposal is hazy on capital requirements and minimum liquidity levels, which are crucial to ensuring a bank survives a financial emergency.
Delay has been a common theme for agencies charged with creating the regulations set out in Dodd-Frank. As of the beginning of December - 18 months after Dodd-Frank was signed into law - fewer than 25% of its hundreds of new rules have been finalized.
On Tuesday, it was the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)voting to delay until July of next year regulations governing derivatives - the financial instruments that were at the very heart of the 2008 financial crisis.
And by forfeiting its chance to effect change, the Fed left the United States even more vulnerable to another financial crisis.
Now, not only have these vital regulations been delayed, but the process gives well-connected Wall Street bankers three months to "comment" - read "influence" - on the proposals.
Following the Fed's announcement, the banking industry didn't seem particularly worried that the finished regulations, when they do arrive, will cause them much of a headache.
"While these rules will require considerable review and comment from the industry, we are pleased to see the Fed is taking a phased-in approach to a number of these measures," Ken Bentsen, an executive vice president the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association trade group, told Bloomberg.
A headline on CNBC summed it up nicely: "Banks Breathe Sigh of Relief Over New Fed Rules."
Indeed, Wall Street isn't concerned because at the end of the day, it knows the Fed is its ally.
"The average American has no idea how protected the big banks in this country really are," said Money Morning's Gilani. "Maybe that's because the biggest bank in the world is the U.S. Federal Reserve. And it happens to be a creation of - and 100% beholden to - the banks that it is a master shill for. It also lies to us and covers up Wall Street's misdeeds."
