The Shadow Financial Regulatory Committee (SFRC) is a group of publicly recognized independent experts on the financial services industry — including experts in banking, insurance, and securities — who meet regularly to study and critique regulatory policies affecting this sector of the economy.
Join us to hear Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, as he addresses the role Congress should play in expanding trade opportunities and increasing market access for US businesses. A panel will then discuss the current status of the TPP, trade promotion authority, and the Obama administration's trade agenda.
AEI's Marilyn Ware Center for Security Studies will host General Mark Welsh III, Chief of Staff of the US Air Force for the concluding session of its series with the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Join AEI for a discussion of two new policy proposals that address the use of road pricing and public-private partnerships, as well as state efforts to enhance infrastructure and economic competitiveness.
Join AEI for a discussion of professional sports subsidies and — fittingly — for a free lunch.
AEI's Jeffrey Eisenach will argue in favor of a generic antitrust enforcement model with primary enforcement by the FTC and Jonathan Baker of American University will maintain that an industry-specific regulator like the FCC is needed to work with antitrust enforcers to shape competition in the broadband industry. The debate will be moderated by US Court of Appeals Judge Stephen Williams.

While President Barack Obama announced former Sen. Chuck Hagel as his pick to replace outgoing Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, a number of groups and political figures are responding with a range of reactions, from outright opposition to hesitant backing to full support.
Hagel's nomination on Monday has caused a stir from some on both sides of the aisle, with some of the former Republican senator's statements and positions relating to the gay community and foreign policy coming under the spotlight.
He's been lambasted in particular for his opposition to unilateral sanctions against Iran, as well as for votes opposing labeling Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization.
Among the criticism, Hagel has also taken heat for a 2007 interview that some perceive as anti-Jewish, pointing to a quote in which Hagel said the "Jewish lobby intimidated lawmakers."
The national director of the Anti-Defamation League said Hagel would not have been his "first choice," but he respects the "president's prerogative."
"I trust that the confirmation process will provide an opportunity for Senator Hagel to address concerns about his positions, which seem so out of sync with President Obama's clear commitment on issues like Iran sanctions, isolating Hamas and Hezbollah and the president's strong support for a deepening of U.S. Israel strategic cooperation," Abraham Foxman said in a statement.
He further expressed "hope" that Hagel would elaborate on his comments about the "Jewish Lobby."
The National Jewish Democratic Council gave similar-though cautious-support, saying they expect Hagel to "follow the president's lead" in support for Israel.
"President Barack Obama's unprecedented pro-Israel credentials are unquestionable, and setting policy starts and stops with the President. While we have expressed concerns in the past, we trust that when confirmed, former Senator Chuck Hagel will follow the President's lead of providing unrivaled support for Israel - on strategic cooperation, missile defense programs, and leading the world against Iran's nuclear program."
Some senators hinted that Hagel can expect to get a full grilling in his Senate confirmation hearings. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Sunday on ABC's "This Week" that whoever is nominated will get a "thorough vetting."
And speaking Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union," Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina labeled the former senator a "controversial" choice by Obama and didn't rule out staging a filibuster to prevent a vote on Hagel's nomination.
"Hagel, if confirmed to be secretary of defense, would be the most antagonistic secretary of defense towards the state of Israel in our nation's history," Graham told CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley.
Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, credited Hagel with his service in Vietnam and congratulated him on the nomination but went no further in offering support.
"I have serious concerns about positions Senator Hagel has taken on a range of critical national security issues in recent years, which we will fully consider in the course of his confirmation process before the Senate Armed Services Committee," McCaiin said in a statement.
Meanwhile, some gay rights groups and activists have hit Hagel for his 1998 remarks questioning whether a nominee for an ambassadorship was suitable because he was "openly, aggressively gay." Hagel issued an apology for the remark in December. He's also received vocal opposition for supporting the Pentagon's former "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.
On top of a newspaper ad released last month, the Log Cabin Republicans took out a full page Monday in The Washington Post, saying Hagel's apology was "too little, too late."
However, prominent gay rights activist Rick Jacob, who heads the Courage Campaign, gave his full support for Hagel in a Huffington Post op-ed Monday.
"Let's be clear about one thing: no one trying to derail his nomination attacks his qualifications. Instead, they seek to score political points and/or act at the behest of powerful special interests by denying the president his choice as defense chief," Jacobs wrote.
Other political figureheads gave Hagel high praise. They cite his time serving in the Vietnam War, for which he was awarded two Purple Hearts, and his two terms in the Senate.
"To try to make this sound like it's a pick outside of the mainstream is absolutely ridiculous. Chuck Hagel has been widely regarded as one of the smartest people on defense and national security issues," Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut said Monday on CNN's "Starting Point with Soledad O'Brien."
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, a Democrat from Michigan, said Hagel is "well qualified" for the job with his "broad experience in national security affairs."
"He was a decorated soldier and an effective member of the Senate, and he is a strong advocate for the men and women of our military," Levin said in a statement. "The Armed Services Committee will give prompt and careful consideration to Senator Hagel's nomination for this critical position."
Another Democrat, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, applauded Hagel and added she will support him in the confirmation process.
"I found him to be a knowledgeable and independent voice with a strong grasp of the pressing national security issues facing our country," said Feinstein, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said he "wholeheartedly" endorsed Obama's nomination.
"Chuck displays his courage in many ways. You can always count on him to analyze a difficult situation and take a position that reflects his best judgment," Powell said in a statement. "I believe that more than ever we need that kind of independent and bold leader who thinks in and out of the box. He is the kind of leader needed by the Department of Defense to deal with the strategic and resource challenges it will be facing over the next several years."
Democratic Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island, a former Army Ranger who serves on the Senate Armed Services committee, said Hagel will make an "outstanding" secretary.
"He is highly qualified and his record of service to this country as a decorated combat veteran, successful CEO, senator, and statesman is extraordinary. Chuck is a man of uncommon independence and integrity. Chuck Hagel's candor, judgment, and expertise will serve him well as our next Secretary of Defense," he said in a statement. "I fully support his confirmation."

"Clean and convenient if you don't mind small beds."

hulabum | Santa Cruz, CA
Very clean room and property. VERY close to Schat's Bakery! Heater was reasonably quiet, beds were comfortable and no road noise. Dogs are welcome and there was no charge. Beds are tiny (seemed even smaller than a full), but the sheets are nice, and the towels were large. The bathroom is TINY, like a challenge to get around door to get to toilet tiny. We spent the next night at the Vagabond, which had queen beds and the vanity and bath were separate giving us much more room.

I made on online reservation on October 26th to stay November 8th. I then cancelled it online October 27th. Because I stayed at a different La Quinta, in a different State. I had the email showing the cancelation. I had also made reservations for another hotel for the same time period, and then cancelled them AT THE SAME TIME. My plans and hotels had changed. When I got home from my trip everything was fine so I deleted my emails. 3 days later this hotel charged my credit card for the night I didn't stay with them. I called them and asked why, they said I never cancelled, I told them I did and they asked for the email showing this. when I said I had deleted it they sad "too bad, if you have no proof, we are going to charge you". I explained how my trip had changed and how my situation was, they didn't want to listen, they stuck to their guns and refuse to refund my money. I called La Quinta guest services and explained my situation, the lady there said she understood and said she felt a refund was indeed warranted and contact the Hotel manager to ask for a refund for me. It's the end of the month and this cheap hotel that does not have a conscious still refuses to give me a refund even though I gave them a cancelation number, because I couldn't send them a copy of the entire email saying I cancelled the reservation. I will never stay at this dump and give them a penny of my money again. Do yourself a favor and stay at the Best Western that is in Bishop, when I was a truck driver, I frequently had a layover in Bishop and I stayed at the Best Western there, it is older, just like this La Quinta, but it is very quiet and well kept.

Since we brought our pet, we had to have a pet friendly hotel. So instead of the Creek Side Inn we were stuck with this place. We wanted to be near Schats Bakery and we were. The bakery was only 2 doors down. The Blonde girl that runs the front desk was very friendly and nice. We checked in around 11pm on a Friday night. We had just got settled and the better half was laying down to go to bed. Then the noise started. Sounded like the kids in the next room (Room 206) were running around the room and jumping on the bed. This continued till about 3am. I tried calling the front desk to complain but there was no answer. Then about 6am the kids started again, only this time they were running up and down the halls and screaming in the breakfast area. Since we were staying in the suite (Room 202) we hard every sound that came from the stairs and lobby. This is the nicest room in the Hotel. You would think that they would make it sound proof being so close to the lobby. That being said, I heard no noise coming from 395. All the noise was generated inside the hotel. The next night was much quieter but I could still hear each guest coming up or down the stairs. Around 7am as people started checking out I could hear them noisily carrying luggage down the stairs. Kept me awake this time. I got about 7 hours total sleep for two nights. We were so tired. Sunday morning we called down to the desk to ask for a late check out. We were told that too many people had asked for a late check out so we could have 11:15 if we wanted. Basically the answer was no. So the better half jumped in the shower. I could hear her screaming in pain because the water was so hot. Then she was screaming because the water was so cold. Hot, cold, hot, cold, hot, cold etc... And this all without touching the faucet. I called down to the lobby to ask if there was something running in the hotel. She said she could send a maintenance man up. RIGHT! Anyway, I told her never mind, she was done anyway. So basically if you stay here don't take a shower! We raced down to get checked out expecting a long line. Nope. No one was at the desk, only us. We looked out at the parking lot and there were only two cars. Ok, late check out, lots of people, right. I guess the moral of the story is don't even think about asking for a late check out. The answer is NO! Get out at 11am period. I honestly don't think I could recommend staying here. I will probably stay elsewhere next time in Bishop. Maybe Holiday Express Inn next time.

we stayed here for one night on our way to yosemite national park. It was a nice place to stop in, even though if I get to yosemite again, and i hope i will do, I will try and stay IN the park so you can stretch the visit longer. The hotel is super comfortable! we came in with our son who desperately needed a diaper change. The Lady at the desk who was very efficient got us checked in in one minute so we can go into our room as quickly as possible. The room is clean and fresh with coffee maker and big tv and clean bathroom. the beds are the right balance of firm so i finally got a good sleep. they also serve breakfast with waffles, fruit, cereal, breads with spreads and more. right in back of hotel there is a bowling ally my husband went to with our friends.

Performance bib shorts designed for elite-level racing
Offering the same fabric, fit and construction as Rapha's Team Sky Pro Bib Shorts, the latest Pro Team Bib Shorts have been designed in collaboration with leading riders.
Featuring pared-back styling and striking contrast details, they are made from a Lycra-based fabric which is both supportive and durable. The fabric is treated with coldblack®, a highly-technical dye that reflects the sun's rays to keep the fabric cool against the skin. In hot conditions, this means the body needn't expend unnecessary energy to keep cool, and can use it instead to improve riding performance. All Rapha's pro-grade bib shorts use the same award-winning Cytech pad.
The Pro Team Bib Shorts with white decals are available in both regular and long (30mm extra leg length), tailored specifically for taller riders.
Key features:
- Lycra-based fabric
- Tight, supportive and lightweight
- High-grade leg grippers for comfort and stability
- coldblack® technology for superior cooling
- Anatomic Cytech pad
- Permanent wicking treatment
- Multiple panel construction for optimum fit
- Reinforced seat panel and bonded seams for comfort
- RAPHA block logos on legs
- Name label for team laundry use
- Race radio pockets either side of spine
- Criteriums
- One-day races
- Stage races
- High-tempo training
"So, are these things worth $250? My sense is that they will last longer than the Eurozone, that you'll never get home from a ride wondering how you missed putting chamois cream on that one blessed spot, that you'll never wear these with any jersey you own and look like a dork, that you'll never regret your purchase."
– Red Kite Prayer
"These bibs had one of the thickest chamois in our test, as well as the slimmest-fitting legs. We loved the tight, compressive-feeling material, and broad thigh bands, which didn't cause sausage-leg effect despite their high level of tightness. The thick chamois was present under us while riding, making these great for cyclists who crave ever-present padding. The chamois is also well-positioned and shaped for riding in the drops, or on the bar tops. Overall, we found the bibs' finish to be top-notch, including the stitching on the edge of the chamois, which we never felt while riding. The straps are comfortable and well ventilated, too."

State Senate president asks Time Warner to lower bills in WTMJ blackout
Wisconsin Senate President Mike Ellis (R-Neenah) has sent a letter to Time Warner Cable asking that it lower the bills of customers affected by the blackout of three stations in the retransmission dispute with Journal Broadcast Group.
"My intention is not to take sides but rather to look out for my constituents in this dispute," Ellis wrote. "It is clear your customers are no longer receiving the service they are paying for" and he urges Time Warner to "reduce their bills appropriately." He notes that Green Bay Packers preseason games are fast approaching and could be blacked out because of the dispute. »Read Full Blog Post(96)

10 best local albums of 2013
Last year was an accomplished one in terms of widespread exposure for Milwaukee bands, with Field Report, Trapper Schoepp & the Shades and Lorn ending up on established and respected independent labels in 2012. That didn't happen in 2013, but there might have been even more worthy album offerings from Milwaukee bands this year. Maybe we'll see some of these acts gets some indie-label love in 2014. Like the No. 1 band on this list; they all deserve it.
1."Repave,"Volcano Choir: Unfairly labeled in the press as Justin Vernon's pet project, Volcano Choir is truly a collaborative band effort, and it wouldn't be the achievement it is without the contribution of past and present members of local avant-garde band Collections of Colonies of Bees, including current Milwaukee residents Chris Rosenau, Jon Mueller and Daniel Spack. Rosenau provided the wistful guitar, Mueller the potent percussion, and Spack was the chief songwriter and inspiration for one of the album's warmest tracks, "Dancepack" ("Dancepack" = Dan Spack). »Read Full Article

10 favorite new books of 2013: Editor's picks
In putting together a list of my 10 favorite new books of 2013, I was struck by how many of them consider, in this world of 7 billion humans, the value of a single life.
Jennifer Michael Hecht's "Stay" makes a compelling argument that even a life troubled by depression and suicidal thoughts is worth living. In Kate Atkinson's novel "Life After Life," a seemingly ordinary woman's single life is so important to the fabric of the universe that she keeps being reborn until she gets something right. In her memoir "Men We Reaped," Jesmyn Ward remembers, and grieves, five men she grew up with who died young and unnecessarily. »Read Full Article

2013's Top 10 Country Albums
This has been a remarkable year in country music. While it has been fun to watch all of the attention garnered across the mainstream by the genre's big flashy singles (Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise" and Luke Bryan's "That's My Kind of Night" among the biggest), the real joy has come from the litany of teriffic albums crafted by newcomers and veterans alike. Anyone who writes off country music as a genre that has sold out to pop hasn't been paying attention to these discs.
With so many terrific offerings to choose from, picking a top 10 was a very difficult feat this year. While it would have been easy to spotlight at least 20 deserving discs, 10 is the going standard and decisions - some tough (I hated leaving off Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell's "Old Yellow Moon") and some easy (Brandi Clark's "12 Stories" was my clear number one from the very first listen) - had to be made. »Read Full Blog Post

A suicide bomber targeting Shiites in a busy Pakistani marketplace killed at least 83 people on Saturday, police told CNN.
The attack in the southwestern Pakistan city of Quetta left at least 180 people wounded.
A suicide bomber, driving an explosive-laden water tanker, rammed the vehicle into buildings at a crowded marketplace in Quetta. Previously, police said explosives were packed in a parked water tanker and were remotely detonated.
The South Asian nation, overwhelmingly Sunni, has been beset by sectarian strife and attacks for years.
Mehmood said the attack targeted a Shiite Hazara community. Ethnic Hazaras live mostly in Afghanistan, and there are also Hazara enclaves in Afghanistan and Iran.
President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf strongly condemned the bombing and vowed to go after the militants.
Earlier this year, a wave of attacks in Quetta left 87 people dead in the Shiite community.


text: St. John's University's School of Risk Management (SRM) honored Dr. Nikolaus von Bomhard, Chairman of the Board of Management of Munich Re, as the "2012 Insurance Leader of the Year" on January 22 at its 18th Annual Insurance Leader of the Year Award Dinner.Proceeds from the dinner, held at New York City's Marriott Marquis Hotel, support scholarships, programs and academic resources for SRM students. The event drew a capacity crowd. "The SRM board of overseers sponsors the Insurance Leader of the Year Dinner to achieve two worthy goals — to provide a forum and opportunity for industry leaders to gather in recognition of exceptional accomplishments by one of their peers, and to provide meaningful financial support for our students in the School of Risk Management program at St. John's, helping to educate and prepare them for future leadership," said Brian Duperreault, Retired President and CEO of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc., and Chairman of the SRM Board of Overseers. "These worthy goals have clearly been achieved, with more than 1,400 of you in attendance and robust support for the School," Duperreault told the capacity crowd. "We have, for the third year in a row, broken the $2 million mark in funds raised for the School, thanks in part to a generous action on the part of Munich Re America in support of the School of Risk Management's developing student programs in Europe." Mike McGavick, CEO, XL Group plc, served as Honorary Chairman of the dinner. He spoke warmly of the guest of honor before introducing an A&E video presentation of Dr. von Bomhard's life and accomplishments. "I am truly overwhelmed and touched by this honor," said Dr. von Bomhard. "There have been few non-Americans, and no Germans, who have been afforded this distinction in the past, and for that I am humbled. I have learned the business from the bottom up, and it has become my passion." Brandon W. Sweitzer, Dean of the School of Risk Management, had high praise for this year's honoree. "Nikolaus is a champion of those qualities that St John's and its School of Risk Management strive to instill in its students at all times: ethical leadership, steadfast determination and a thoughtful approach to all important matters at hand," he said. "We are delighted to honor him with this award, and our students will benefit by learning from his example and great leadership of Munich Re." "Munich Re throughout the world has always represented the qualities of professionalism, strength and stability required by clients of the insurance industry - whether institutional or individual," Sweitzer added. "Dr. von Bromhard is widely admired for his corporate stewardship in service to all Munich Re stakeholders; and in these testing economic times his wise counsel on both corporate matters and issues impacting public policy is widely acknowledged." Three past Insurance Leader of the Year honorees were also in attendance, including Patrick G. Ryan (1997), former Chairman and CEO of Aon Corporation and Founding Chairman and CEO of Ryan Specialty Group, LLC; John T. (Jack) Sinnott (2003), retired Chairman and CEO of Marsh Inc. and Senior Advisor to Stone Point Capital; and Duperreault (2004), Retired President and CEO of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. The Award Selection Committee is chaired by Ellen Thrower, Ph.D., Professor Emerita and Retired Executive Director, SRM. It includes George Bernstein, Esq., of The Bernstein Law Firm, P.L.L.C. (Washington, D.C.); Robert P. Hartwig, Ph.D., President of the Insurance Information Institute; Joseph Mauriello, Retired Deputy Chairman and COO of KPMG LLP; Michael J. Morrissey, President and CEO of the International Insurance Society; Patrick J. Shouvlin, Retired Partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP; and Peter B. Walker, Director of McKinsey & Company (New York). The "Insurance Leader of the Year Award," presented annually since 1995, recognizes the contributions of outstanding leaders in the worldwide insurance and financial services industry. Last year's recipient was Evan G. Greenberg, Chairman and CEO of ACE Limited. The School of Risk Management was founded in 1901 as the Insurance Society of New York and became known as The College of Insurance (TCI). In June 2001, TCI merged with St. John's University, becoming a school of The Peter J. Tobin College of Business. Located in New York City's downtown financial district, SRM awards undergraduate, M.B.A., and M.S. degrees in the insurance, risk management and actuarial science disciplines. Through its Center for Professional Education, SRM also provides education, training and consulting services to the industry, governments and regulators worldwide.

D-backs get brand new batting practice caps
The Arizona Diamondbacks will be receiving a bit of a makeover heading into 2013, and this time GM Kevin Towers had no hand in the matter.
The makeover will take place to the design of the team's batting practice cap. In fact, all 30 MLB teams will have new BP hats next season, but at first glance the D-backs might have been one of the few to receive an upgrade.
Instead of having Sedona red dominate the cap, Arizona's new look will primarily feature black with a Sedona red bill and logo.
ESPN.com's Uni Watch expert Paul Lukas ranked all 30 teams, and the D-backs were one of seven clubs to receive an A grade or higher.

Friday, 18 June 2010 16:20 | |||
By Amber Hanneken Staff Writer VALLIANT — Five fire departments responded to a fire that occurred Thursday afternoon at International Paper in Valliant. Plant Human Resources Manager Nicole Cody said the fire happened in an outside bale storage unit where recycled cardboard is kept. "There are employees in that area, but there haven't been any injuries," Cody said. Firefighters from Broken Bow, Valliant, Idabel, Garvin and Sought, Texas all worked to contain the flames.
