This dry white wine from the Fariña family showcases fresh fruit-forward fragrances. Its flavors mirror green apples, mineral notes and summer peaches.
Various vineyards with vines up to 100 years old in the Toro D.O. supplied the grapes. Following a 12-hour cold-soak, fruit was fermented in stainless steel tanks at 59-64° F, where it remained until bottling.
"…fresh green apple fruit and other white fruit flavors; lively acidity; depth and concentration. I loved it!" —Winereviewonline, "Toro: Spain's Tiny Dynamo," by Ed McCarthy (June 21, 2011)
Aromatic and juicy, it is terrific with seafood, salads, soft cheeses and white meats.

A list of toxic chemicals used by Ohio shale drillers must be …
Photographer: WEWS

Posted: 01/12/2012
CLEVELAND - As environmental investigators look to see whether a deep waste water injection well is the cause of nearly dozen earthquakes in Youngstown since March, a few miles away sits a long dormant steel mill that will soon see new life.
The mill will reportedly undergo a $650 million overhaul and begin producing the seamless pipes that will be used in the horizontal fracking process. And therein lies the contrast in this hotly debated subject: economic vs. environmental impact.
The oil and gas industry has estimated that fracking could mean more than 200,000 jobs for Ohio, but environmentalists argue at what price?
Recently, we spoke with Gov. John Kasich about where things stand in the state.
Ohio sits above the Marcellus and Utica shale and companies have already invested several billion of dollars in the state, said Kasich, as they study whether the fuel trapped deep in the rock below us is worth retrieving.
"A lot of good news companies are investing. I've been to Texas, I've met with 50-60 companies down there. We have more good news coming, companies that want to come pipe, pumps, compressors, drillers all that but let's not pop the champagne corks just yet," he cautioned.
That's because he said there's a lot to be worked out on both sides. For the companies, there are two issues.
"Is the market such that you can get it up and make money? Because if you can't you're not going to drill. Secondly do we have the technology, particularly to bring up these liquids, which are so valuable," said Kasich.
While those matters are being determined, he said the state has its own things to consider.
"One of the big issues that we have is we want Ohioans working in this industry, so we have to train people to do this. The companies are not telling us exactly what we need to do to train our workers," Kasich said. "So I'm pounding on them tell us so Ohioans can work.
"Secondly, you have to have very strong environmental rules because you can't afford a misstep.
"Thirdly, you're going to have to have impact fees to help the local governments deal with their infrastructure problems and a severance tax because our severance tax is a little outdated."
He said the state must find a balance though when it comes to taxes and fees.
"If you tax too much they leave, if you tax too little you're not going to get your job done."
Luckily, they have other states to study that have already gone down this road.
"We've learned from Pennsylvania, we've learned from New York's mistakes, we have studied North Dakota we just were involved in looking at Wyoming and the problems they had out there."
"We have been managing this for 15 months and could this be an incredible good news story for all of Ohio? The answer is yes but we've had people's hopes dashed enough and let's just take it a day at a time but we feel pretty good."

Whole Foods coming to Wilmington
April 7, 2011By JP Finlay
For years Wilmington residents have wanted a Whole Foods grocery store. Today it appears the upscale, natural food grocery store is on its way.
Whole Foods will enter the Wilmington market in 2012 or 2013, according to two sources with knowledge of the deal. The store will be located in the space currently occupied by Lowe's Foods on Oleander Drive next to Independence Mall, one of the sources said. Lowe's is scheduled to close this Saturday.
When contacted, Whole Foods spokesperson Darrah Horgan did not confirm the arrival of the new Whole Foods store.
"We have not announced any stores in Wilmington. We announce new stores on our quarterly earnings calls, and the next call is Wednesday, May 4th," Horgan said in an email.
Whole Foods is considered one of the most desired businesses to locate in a community and often helps spur development around its location when it arrives in a community.
Starting with one store in 1980, Whole Foods has expanded to more than 300 stores in North America and the United Kingdom.

There are different facets of the internet technology that have only recently started opening up to the millions of the eager users who browse the different websites for the content and other downloads.

It is said that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. The website contains many recipes with innovative games connected to each of them which would help when you are actually making that dish in the offline mode. For example if you want to make a straw berry cake with eggs you are guided through flash animations that help you to understand the process in detail since it is done graphically. The Girlsgogames Cooking Games provides numerous options of preparing the cake. In the first flash screen the players are introduced to the ingredients that can be selected with the help of the mouse icon which is in the form of a virtual hand that provides a real time simulated experience. The user is advised to select eggs flour and milk as constituents. Once it is done you need to move forward to the next window. Apart from that you can click on the flavors tab to drop different materials that might help in making the cake more unique. It is an engrossing game because you have to put things in equal proportions that help enables the judges to select you as the winner. Even when you are baking the cake you are provided a virtual option of heating the oven by adjusting the regulator which is offered by the simulator to the gamers. Apart from the cooking category there are other categories like the adventure games that provide you a romantic feeling especially when you are a girl. People are generally advised to try games that provide you an opportunity to play different characters. It is intuitive and also helps in the alertness of the mind and body. There are many games that consist of the dressing up of the characters and they are hugely popular among the people. |

However, as of the present, even men have shown their skills and talent in the field of cooking.

Nevertheless, with respect to the existence of stereotyping women are more known for this field. What then are the girls cooking games to play? Is there really ...

We will defeat terrorism only when we refuse to be terrorised
The threat must be put in perspective -- our civilisation's survival isn't at stake.
By Mehdi Hasan Published 07 September 2011The threat must be put in perspective -- our civilisation's survival isn't at stake.
As we approach the tenth anniversary of the 11 September 2001 attacks, I find myself yearning for the leadership of Franklin D Roosevelt - and not just on the economy. "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself," FDR declaimed in his 1933 inaugural address. "Nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror, which paralyses needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."
If there is one word that has come to define our reaction (overreaction?) to the September 2001 tragedy, it is fear. Murderous, unseen enemies lurk in the shadows, waiting to do us harm. We live in fear of the next terror attack. In May this year, a nationwide survey conducted by Suffolk University, Boston, found a majority of American voters (51 per cent) said they feared another terrorist attack on US soil in the next 12 months.
Yet these all-pervading fears of attack are irrational and unfounded. Americans, in particular, have what the political scientist John Mueller has called "a false sense of insecurity". Look at the facts. The 9/11 assaults were the last successful foreign terrorist attack on US soil. Since 2001, fewer Americans have died from international terrorism each year than have drowned in their bath.
According to state department figures, the number of US citizens killed worldwide in 2010 "as a result of incidents of terrorism" was 15 (down from 25 in 2009). In the same year, 29 Americans died after being struck by lightning. Calculations by the astronomer Alan Harris suggest that the average American is as likely to be killed by a terrorist as he or she is to be hit by an asteroid.
This isn't to dismiss the very real threat from Islamist terrorism, or to trivialise the number of innocent lives lost, but to put the threat in perspective. It isn't existential. Our civilisation's survival isn't at stake.
Threat level
The terror industry, however, is big business - especially in the US. A recent investigation by the Los Angeles Times found that federal and state governments spend about $75bn a year on domestic security.
Examples of absurd expenditures abound. How about $557,400 on rescue and communications gear for the 1,500 residents of the city of North Pole, Alaska? Or the $750,000 spent on an anti-terrorism fence for a Veterans Affairs hospital on the outskirts of Asheville, North Carolina? Nebraska's Cherry County, reported the LA Times, received thousands of federal dollars for "cattle nose leads, halters and electric prods - in case terrorists decided to mount biological warfare against cows".
Does anyone other than paranoiacs believe that al-Qaeda would be interested in targeting the residents of Hicksville? Yet, since 9/11, a new breed of self-styled terrorism expert - often lacking any obvious academic credentials - has taken to the airwaves to hyperventilate about the mortal danger posed by al-Qaeda and its affiliates. These experts are nothing of the sort, often even mispronouncing the names of the terrorists they pontificate about. They have a vested interest in threat inflation, having profited handsomely from the so-called war on terror.
Never has the phrase "everyone's an expert" been more apt than in the debate about terrorism. Dubious characters have come forward to peddle fear and insecurity, hysteria and Islamophobia. Take Walid Shoebat, a Palestinian-American convert to conservative Christianity and self-proclaimed "terror expert", who says he was once a PLO terrorist who bombed a bank and served time in an Israeli prison. This is his claim to fame, and the basis of his supposed expertise on Islamist terrorism.
In his seminars to US law-enforcement officials, paid for by the American taxpayer, Shoebat - who has compared radical Islam with Nazism - calls for mosques and Muslim student groups in the US to be placed under surveillance. "All Islamic organisations in America should be the number-one enemy," he told a gathering of 300 police officers and sheriff's deputies in South Dakota this year.
Yet it turns out, according to a CNN investigation in July, that the Israeli police has no record of Shoebat's "bombing", nor does the bank itself. The prison where he says he was held likewise has no record of his incarceration. A cousin of Shoebat's told the TV network that his claims were made for "personal reasons".
Sober response
So, is it any wonder that there is so much misinformation spread about terrorists and the terror threat? We need a more sober, FDR-styleresponse. The time has come to ignore the fear-mongering of the terror experts, the police chiefs, the military leaders, the pundits and thepoliticians. On 11 September 2011, we must ask ourselves: what has done greater damage to our liberties, our societies, our way of life, over the past ten years? Terrorism? Or our response to it?
In a 2004 video message, Osama Bin Laden seemed delighted by the alarmist climate he had helped create inside the US - and the debilitating costs it has inflicted on the nation's economy. "All we have to do is send two mujahedin . . . to raise a small piece of cloth on which is written 'al-Qaeda'," Bin Laden declared, "in order to make the generals race there, to cause America to suffer human, economic and political losses."
Nothing has changed. The failed Christmas 2009 plot to bomb a Northwest Airlines plane using explosives sewn into a passenger's underwear prompted an airport screening upgrade costing more than $1.6bn.
To seek absolute security is to chase a mirage. We will defeat terrorism only when we refuse to be terrorised.

Sloppy stuff Mehdi, the above is your premis for the whole fear thing. Who is this "We"? The people surveyed are foreigners living in a foreign country and not the "We" here in the UK.
Mehdi, do you know what questions were asked in the survey? Because it could be the case that they were simply asked "Do you fear another terrorist attack within the next 12 months?" and if they thought that it was likely without actually being in fear of it they would probably answer "yes" which then be interperatrated as "fear".
Or were they asked "Do you think it is likely there will be a terrorist attack within the next 12 months?" to which they answered "yes" and this has been interperated as fear. Now it may be that the issue of fear was properly set out in the survey, but this isn't clear.
So Mehdi, inorder for you to able to convince us that "We live in fear of the next terror attack.", then you must apply proper journilism and verify details that are crucial to your arguments, otherwise it just comes across as the Richard Desmond approach to journilism.
I do believe that a terrorist attact is possible anytime, anywhere - but I don't "live in fear" of it.
Julia please read
Excellent article Mehd! It certainly puts everything in perspective. Keep up your amazing work, we love watching your TV appearances.
agoodword - what a terrible piece of writing....a small number of extremists...what aload of bullshit, The are Muslim equivalents of Brevik who are committing mass murder every day in the name of Islam...why isnt there the same emphasis on them as there was him??
Try telling the Hindus's, Seikhs, Buddists, Christains, Copts, Jews, Kurds, and countless other non-Muslim minorities who live within or next to Muslims countries to stop there Islamaphobia and welcome these Jihadis with open arms. Then let them implement the Sharia and leave them with second class status or worse if they don't conform.
Its very easy to talk about Islamphobia asif its something real...but a phobia is an irrational fear which I and many others do not have regarding Islam.
Islam is the harshest most bloody religion the world has ever known for its entirety.
Try telling the Copts in Egypt to stop being Islamaphobic and just let the Muslims take bomb there church and kill there people?????
More Islamaphobia this week...
2011.09.08 (Heart, Afghanistan) - Sunni bombers take down an engineer and two other employees at a construction company.
2011.09.07 (New Delhi, India) - Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami cadres use a suitcase bomb to murder twelve others outside a packed courtroom.
2011.09.07 (Quetta, Pakistan) - Twin suicide bombers send over two dozen souls to Allah including a woman and three children.
2011.09.06 (Yala, Thailand) - Islamists kill a 38-year-old Buddhist teacher, then set his body on fire.
2011.09.06 (Narathiwat, Thailand) - A 9-year-old boy is among the victims of two attacks by Muslim gunmen, one at a teahouse.
2011.09.06 (Zakaleo, Nigeria) - Four Christians are burned alive when militant Muslims set fire to their house.
If Muslims want to end the perception of Islamaphobia in the west, here is a way how.
1. Focus their indignation on Muslims committing violent acts in the name of Islam, not on non-Muslims reporting on those acts.
2. Renounce definitively, sincerely, honestly, and in deeds, not just in comforting words, not just "terrorism," but any intention to replace the UK/U.S or European Constitution (or the constitutions of any non-Muslim state) with Sharia even by peaceful means. In line with this, clarify what is meant by their condemnations of the killing of innocent people by stating unequivocally that American and Israeli civilians are innocent people, teaching accordingly in mosques and Islamic schools, and behaving in accord with these new teachings.
3. Teach, again sincerely and honestly, in transparent and verifiable ways in mosques and Islamic schools, the imperative of Muslims coexisting peacefully as equals with non-Muslims on an indefinite basis, and act accordingly.
4. Begin comprehensive international programs in mosques all over the world to teach sincerely against the ideas of violent jihad and Islamic supremacism.
5. Actively and honestly work with Western law enforcement officials to identify and apprehend jihadists within Western Muslim communities.
If Muslims do those five things, voila! "Islamophobia" will evanesce!
But its aint gonna happen, unfortunately for us all...
Wouldn't it be a better world if we just believed in fairies instead of other unproven entities?
Wouldn't it be a better world if we just believed in unproven historical events instead of looking at the evidence?
Might be wrong, but I dont remember fairies ever committing mass murder, illegal invasions and suicide aimed at killing non believers.
Let those predisposed to faith worship fairies instead.
More Islamaphobia in Germany this time.....
Police in Berlin arrested two terror suspects on Thursday, raiding their apartments and a Muslim cultural center. The two men allegedly amassed chemicals that could be used to make bombs.
Just ahead of the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States, security forces in Berlin may have prevented another possible attack. On Thursday morning, police in the German capital arrested two men suspected of gathering chemicals that could be used to build a bomb.
A 24-year-old German citizen of Lebanese descent and a 28-year-old from the Gaza Strip were apprehended following an investigation by police and state prosecutors that has been underway for some time, a police spokesman said.

Don't they know that there is no jihad? Don't they know that "Islamophobes" made it all up?
Just be careful not to tell them about Naser Abdo, the would-be second Fort Hood jihad mass murderer; or Khalid Aldawsari, the would-be jihad mass murderer in Lubbock, Texas; or Muhammad Hussain, the would-be jihad bomber in Baltimore; or Mohamed Mohamud, the would-be jihad bomber in Portland; or Nidal Hasan, the successful Fort Hood jihad mass-murderer; or Faisal Shahzad, the would-be Times Square jihad mass-murderer; or Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, the Arkansas military recruiting station jihad murderer; or Naveed Haq, the jihad mass murderer at the Jewish Community Center in Seattle; or Mohammed Reza Taheri-Azar, the would-be jihad mass murderer in Chapel Hill, North Carolina; or Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the would-be Christmas airplane jihad bomber; or so many other jihad murderers and would-be murderers in America.
Three words aptly describe the ongoing war on terror and why it will only end when a new enemy is found:
"Military", "Industrial" and "Complex".

Three Avatar Sequels Officially Announced, With The First Coming December 2016 What will happen in Avatar 2? Again, it depends on who you ask, and at what point.

James Cameron Promises His Avatar Sequels Are Building Momentum James Cameron does what he wants. As the director of the two highest-grossing movies of all time, not to mention three that were the most expensive movies ever made for their time, Cameron has proven over and over again that he can turn a giant pile of money into an even bigger pile of money, which is truly the most valuable skill in Hollywood.

Avatar Sequels And Much More Get $400 Million Backing At Fox Really, James Cameron could probably single-handedly rustle up the money to pay for the next two Avatar movies. It might require selling a submarine or autographing 100 Titanic posters, but come on, he could do it.

Will James Cameron Shoot Three Avatar Sequels Back-To-Back? There have been multiple franchises that have made the decision to shoot sequels back-to-back in order to cut down on time between releases. We've seen it before in franchises like Pirates of the Caribbean, The Matrix and Back To The Future, where parts two and three were pushed together, but only once before has a series chosen to shoot three movies back-to-back and that was Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy. filed under: avatar 2

James Cameron Is Only Making Avatar Movies From Now On Unfortunately, James Cameron is also involved with a lot of other things that don't require his services as a filmmaker, from executing the deepest solo deep-sea dive in history to traveling to China to encourage that country to open up to more co-productions with the United States filed under: avatar 2

Avatar 2 Won't Be Ready For Another Four Years, According To Producer There was a 12 year period in between the releases of James Cameron's Titanic and Avatar.

James Cameron Hints That Avatar 2 May Feature Non-Linear Storytelling Science fiction is a very special genre in the sense that you can really do whatever the hell you want and it can be considered reasonable.

Paula Patton Talks Mission: Impossible Action; Laz Alonso Doesn't Know About Avatar 2 Yet While the answers were fairly vague, I will say that I'm very happy to hear about Patton getting in on the action for Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. After three movies, only Tom Cruise and Ving Rhames have returned for each one, while actresses like Emmanuelle Béart (for obvious reasons), Thandie Newton, Maggie Q, Keri Russell (again, obvious) and Michelle Monaghan have never lasted more through more than one film. filed under: avatar 2

How it works
Statistics show that customers belonging to a loyalty program visit a business ,on average, twice as often, and spend four times as much money.
With statistics such as that it's no wonder that almost every business out there has some sort of customer loyalty program. But do these business have a program that does all the work for them? No.
Our Royalty Rewards® program will jumpstart your business by increasing customer frequency and spending in your business while you sit back and watch your bottom line grow.
Click below to see how it works...
Why it works
It is five to seven times more expensive to find a new customer than to retain an existing one. This means that every dollar spent on marketing to an existing customer will return 5x more profit than the same dollar on new customers.
With numbers like that, it is critical that the marketing to existing customers is as effective as possible. Past results, have shown that our cards enjoy a 22% better response rate over other direct mail campaigns.

My boyfriend and I have been trying to get a reservation for several weeks at this new restaurant in the Meatpacking called Catch. Every time I would call to make a reservation my options were for 5:30 p.m. (no one in Manhattan eats that early, and most people aren't even out of work at that time!) or 11 p.m. (usually that's when dessert is supposed to arrive, not your cocktails).
We were thrilled when we landed a 10 p.m. reservation last Friday! My friend Brittany and I had walked past the restaurant when we were wandering the neighborhood a few weeks ago — which ended up being a very useful run-in because the door is kind of hidden. Located right above the new Sephora shop in Meatpacking is where the second floor restaurant hides out. You have to enter the main door from the side where you'll be let in by a bouncer (the only way to get in is if you have a reservation). Once we walked through the door we took an elevator to the second floor which is where the restaurant is. We shared our reservation with friends who were just as excited as the two of us to check out this new spot. When the doors to the elevator opened we all got an excited grin on our faces and while we took in the scene we knew our food was going to be fabulous!
Catch is quite the catch… you feel like you've been transported to this hip, modern seafood restaurant. There's classic seafood-restaurant decor but with a swanky twist. Catch may be on the "it" list for foodies now, and hopefully it'll stay there after the summer comes and the locals head out to the beach to escape the city heat and the B&T people head into town.
Obviously the menu is going to be swimming with fish — after all, the restaurant's name is Catch. Whether you want a big seafood dinner, or order more of a tapas-style — you can do both here. Tapas is the way we went. We ordered plenty of appetizers, both raw and cooked and boy did we love them all. Since the restaurant is so dark, a few of my photos didn't turn out, so I will only show you the good photos.
My favorite order was the Salmon Carpaccio. I'm really in shock because I never have liked salmon, but lately I love eating it raw! The most important part is what the salmon is served with — the sauce, or garnish. If only raw food didn't come with a risk, I would eat it every day!
I also loved the crispy shrimp which also sported quite the spice. My boyfriend claims that it wasn't that spicy but it had one heck of a kick! I love rock shrimp and this order was even better! The spicy glaze on top is the first thing you notice when you pop one of these into your mouth — but then there's that fantastic crispy texture that has this crispy shrimp hitting the spot.
Next up was the Lobster Macaroni and cream. I was expecting this to look exceptionally creamy, but the look of this dish was very deceiving. It had such a creamy, buttery flavor and the taste of the lobster throughout was what made this the most perfect seafood macaroni. Perfectly cooked — Al Dente — exactly the way any pasta should be cooked, the chef really thought out this dish!
Last but not least… We all know how much I adore tuna, especially tuna rolls! So an order of the tuna roll was a must! All of my favorite flavors and ingredients were used in this roll — avocado and tuna were what made every bite delicious. I found it interesting that a crispy ingredient was used on the very top to add a completely different texture than all of the other typical tuna rolls in other restaurants. This was such a brilliant move on the chef's end because it really made the roll stand out and while the texture was very different the roll still tasted extraordinary!
Sorry folks, I'm sad to announce that Catch doesn't have an online menu. Hopefully they can hop to it and throw something up on their website. But, at least you have a few ideas of what you can order because of this post! Every dish I have told you about today was fantastic! There wasn't a single order that we didn't enjoy. I can't wait to go back and sample other plates from the menu!!

Andrus family remembered after Darien murder-suicide
DARIEN – Four caskets formed a U-shape at the Gerharz-Cappetta Funeral Home in Lemont on Monday as grieving family and friends remembered the four members of the Andrus family.
The caskets were decorated with flowers and photos, mostly of the family together on vacation or enjoying the holidays. A note basket sat atop each one, and of the 100 or so people that came during the day, someone left David a Diet Pepsi.
It was hard to believe the same family in the photos were victims of such violent tragedy. Jeana Andrus, 48; Jessica Andrus, 22; Jennifer Andrus, 16; and David Andrus, 50, were found shot to death at their home in unincorporated DuPage County near Darien on June 11.

LED Street Lighting
Reducing Energy Requirement By More Than 50 % With Innovative Street Lighting
According to the professional journal "Elektronik Report", issue 12/2008, towns and cities use up to 38 % of their energy requirement for their street lighting – a huge portion.
And this, most of the time, for out-dated technology with insufficient lighting characteristics and a big amount of maintenance.
The advantages of the BöSha LED lighting at a glance:
- Energy saving of up to 50 % in comparison to conventional illuminants
- Reduction of carbon dioxide corresponding to energy saving
- Minimum amount of maintenance at a product life of 100,000 operating hours
- Absolutely insensitive to shocks (vandalism)
- Optimum colour perception when using daylight-white LED
- Insensitive to temperature, always constant luminosity without heat-up phase
- Due to the narrow spectrum of the emitted light no insects are attracted, consequently less dirt on the lights
In contrary to other LED developments in which single LED are used in connection with lenses for the focussing of light, BöSha applies LED in multi chip technology (up to 120 lm/W). Special reflectors focus and direct the light and, at the same time, serve for cooling. The prejudices about the old LED have been out of date for a long time already. Just a few years ago, they spoke of blue cold light which was emitted selectively only. In addition, these systems were characterized by inaccurateness of colours, glaring and little efficiency.
The latest LED technology, in comparison with old systems, offers accurateness of colour with a deviation of just 0.01 %. Moreover, nowadays LED can be chosen in up to seven colour temperatures.
Sceptics say that the modern LED technology does not come up to the lumen output of conventional illuminants. In parts, this statement is even correct. However, when considering that the LED emit their light only to the front, meaning the light is directed at 100 %, the power of conventional lamps gets neutralized. In the latter case, the light is emitted all around and a large portion has to be reflected.
Sodium Vapur LED
At an output voltage of 24 Volt, the integrated electronical ballasts supply the LED lighting unit with a constant current, and they are temperature controlled. It is understood, for still bigger savings potential we also offer a night setback.
Conventional technology compared with LED technology

Event Details Credit derivatives are the fastest growing financial product. Synthetic structured financial products and leveraged credit bets fueled explosive growth in the credit derivatives market (up 55% in 2004 versus 2003) and the growth rate for 2005 may be double that of 2004. Outstanding contracts reached $8.4 trillion by the end of 2004 and ballooned to $12.4 trillion by the end of June 2005. Credit-derivatives trading influences everything from stocks and bonds to hedge funds, mutual funds and mortgages. Leveraged credit derivative products have become an important revenue source for insurance companies and bank trading books. The easy leverage of the credit derivatives market creates an ideal tool for speculators. Used properly, credit derivatives can contribute to financial stability by making it easier to transfer risk efficiently. But market upsets like the recent downgrades of GM and Ford can create market upheaval. 'What started out to be a protection product for banks has turned out to be an opportunity to spin the roulette wheel,' says Janet Tavakoli, president of Tavakoli Structured Finance in Chicago. 'People are concerned about a domino effect.' (Wall Street Journal May 29, 2005). Are the advantageous returns on credit derivatives blinding us to the inherent risks? How can corporations and financial institutions use credit derivatives sensibly and still capture a fair financial reward? Who should be trading credit derivatives in their investment portfolios and how can traders maximize their value?

Northwestern hospital confirms 230 layoffs
Chicago Tribune, August 23, 2012
Northwestern Memorial Hospital confirmed Wednesday that it has laid off 230 employees over the last month as part of an effort to reduce its cost structure by a quarter by 2017. The Streeterville health system, which has about 7,000 employees, said in a statement that 52 of those who lost their positions have found new jobs, most at the hospital. It said several others are being considered for roughly 200 openings. A spokeswoman said the hospital has cut jobs each of the past several years after annual reviews of its operations conducted amid budget discussions.

British number two James Ward has been awarded a wild card into next month's AEGON Championships at the Queen's Club.
Ward enjoyed a memorable run to the semi-final stage of the grass court tournament last year, defeating fourth seed Stanislas Wawrinka and 2010 champion Sam Querrey along the way.
The 25-year-old's challenge was eventually ended by Jo-Wilfried Tsonga but he will be itching to impress after he and four-time champion Lleyton Hewitt were handed the first two wild card entries for the tournament, which gets under way on June 11.
"I'm really happy and grateful to have been given a wild card into the AEGON Championships," said Ward.
"Reaching the semi-finals last year was a fantastic experience - the best of my career so far, and I'm going to give it everything I've got to try to make the most of what is a great opportunity."
Defending champion Andy Murray will be joined be fellow top-10 stars Tsonga, Janko Tipsarevic and Juan Martin Del Potro at the championships this year in preparation for Wimbledon.
A further three wild cards will be announced before the singles draw is made on June 9.

text: EXOTIC MESON AT BROOKHAVEN? Testing the notable proposition that quarks always bind in groups of two (quark- antiquark objects called mesons) or three (baryons), physicists at BNL send 18-GeV pi mesons into a hydrogen target and then harvest events in which the emergent debris includes eta mesons and pi mesons. In particular, they seek to study the parent particle that decayed into the eta and pi. Most of the time this is the humdrum a2 meson, with a mass of 1320 MeV. But about 3% of the time another particle appears to be the parent, one with a mass of about 1370 MeV. Two things in combination hint that something unusual is happening: first, the relative angle between the outgoing eta's and pi's suggests a rivalry or "interference" between the a2 meson and the mysterious particle, strengthening the argument that the particle exists and is not just a spurious blip in the data. Second, the new particle's quantum numbers (its spin, parity, and charge conjugation number) do not conform to what one would expect for a conventional quark-antiquark meson. Scientists in the Northwestern-Rensselaer-Massachusetts- Notre Dame-BNL-Moscow State-IHEP collaboration (one contact is Neal Cason at Notre Dame, 219-631-6305) speculate that the exotic particle might be either an unprecedented 4-quark state (two quarks and two antiquarks) or a quark-antiquark-gluon state; gluons are the particle-like carriers of the strong nuclear force, but in this case the gluon in question would be an independent particle on an even footing with the quarks.

Must the PB be CEO?
In commenting on an earlier item at the Cafe, Lionel Deimel asked:
Why should our church be led by a bishop? I would feel very much better if our highest officer was a layperson. The Church does not exist for the benefit of clergy. Moreover, experience suggests that most mischief in the Church is initiated by bishops.I think Lionel's question is worth exploring. At the moment, the presiding bishop is the chief executive officer of the church, and, as far as I am aware, almost impossible to recall once he or she sets out on their nine year term. The PB is elected by only one of the two houses of our General Convention--the one that does not include lay people or clergy. Once in office, the PB is tasked with simultaneously administering a large bureaucracy, representing our church in Anglican Communion matters and acting as our chief pastor. This job is too big for one person. Additionally, it encourages what I have heard called "primatial creep," the tendency of presiding bishops to act as though they and not the General Convention (and Executive Council when convention is not in session) are the ultimate authority in our church.
That said, I can't really imagine our church without a presiding bishop, though I can imagine it without a presiding bishop who exercises primatial authority, or who is involved in the day-to-day operations of the staff.
Perhaps some of you with backgrounds in organizational development can help us build a better mousetrap here. Thoughts?
An intriguing idea. For most of our history, the PB was simply the senior Bishop in the House and for the most part presided at meetings of the HoB and episcopal consecrations. On the other hand, there is nothing inherently wrong with a single person - lay or ordained - being both spiritual and ecclesiastical and organizational leader - we see it now at every other level - we call them Rectors and Bishops. BTW - the PB's election must be confirmed by the House of Deputies, but the President of the HoD does not require confirmation by the Bishops.
Thanks, Robert. I am aware that the PB's election has to be confirmed by the deps, and you are probably aware that this is pro forma. The bishops do not confirm the President of the House of Deputies but the powers of the two offices in a day to day way are not commensurate.
It is true that there is nothing "inherently" wrong with one person leading in all of the capacities you mention, but, as a practical matter, the job gets harder as the scale gets larger.
This is the GC where the committee to nominate the next PB will be elected.
This PB is not involved with the day to day operations of the staff. She has a COO for that.
True, Bishop Epting, but the COO reports to the presiding bishop. If the COO reported to executive council, we'd have a different kind of governance. I don't know if it would be better, but I think it would be more accountable.
The current structure of our church seems almost designed to invite conflict between the PB and General Convention/Executive Council. And I don't think it matters who holds the relevant positions.
I have no problem with the idea of the COO reporting to Executive Council rather than the Presiding Bishop (although it might be better if that person were a qualified layperson rather than a bishop, since we already have a bishop as CEO) but I think that a church that calls itself The Episcopal Church needs to have a bishop as its head, period. Yes, bishops do initiate lots of mischief, but there is also a tremendous amount of stability and good at having a bishop in leadership. God help us if we end up with a non-ordained "convener" or "CEO" or something similarly wishy-washy...
Can I ask if there's any reason the PB couldn't be simply an election/appointment from among the 100 bishops? I admit I don't know very much about this, but couldn't he or she be bishop in his or her own diocese, and "first among equals" (like the ABC is in the Anglican Communion)? With no powers, that is, except "persuasive ones"?
I think the ABC only has powers in his own diocese, and none otherwise. Is there any reason that wouldn't work in TEC? (This way, couldn't we get rid of the NY office, and have "national church" functions spread throughout the country in regional offices?)
Just asking, that's all....
Of course I find it interesting that this never came up when we had male PBs.
Oh, I bet it did come up. Frank Griswold was PB when Gene Robinson was consecrated, and I remember reading some choice comments about this topic away back then.
(I see now that Robert Solon above was saying that in previous eras the PB was just one of the 100 bishops. Maybe that was a better way? Maybe a layperson could head the administration function of the church, alongside the PB as "spiritual leader"?)
"experience suggests that most mischief in the Church is initiated by bishops"....Really? From what I've seen mischief is hardly the exclusive purview of the mitered crowd.
Terry Pannell+
For what it's worth:
How much true pastoring can he or she do if he/she is also trying to run a big bureaucracy? I'm with Jim here and am also intrigued and persuaded by bsnyder's and Robert's remarks about the ABC and the "old-style" PBs and their roles as first among equals.
An ordained person could (and IMO should) be chief pastor but not necessarily have (or want) to administer the church's operations--or supervise the one who does. The church needs both pastor and administrator right now, full time in each role.
For the record, my view has nothing to do with the gender of the current Presiding Bishop.
First of all, if we are asking this question about the Presiding Bishop, we need to ask it as well of all Bishops and all Priests. These are the training grounds for future Presiding Bishops, and this is where they develop their management styles.
If you are looking for other models, there are many available. One that keeps coming to my mind is that of the doctor's office. It is a system which has many faults, but it focuses relentlessly on discerning the unique talents of the physician as distinguished from the skills of other professionals in the office. We invest a vast amount of money in the theological education of our ordained ministry, and they spend their time doing . . . budgets? . . . administration? Are we crazy?
I understand that, in smaller parishes and dioceses, the priest or bishop is not only chief pastor but administrator, janitor, chief cook and bottle washer. Only in larger jurisdictions do we have more options, but we need to explore them. It is a matter of making the best use of everyone's talents.
Thank you, Paul Martin. The problem is not with the PB. The problem is systemic. It begins with our understanding of the role and nature of the church and continues with the role and nature of baptism and ministry and ordination.
I am able to do "management" and being and "executive". I don't enjoy it, but I do it and I do it quite well, thank you very much. I much prefer to have an empowered member of the laity or a deacon with those gifts and talents to "manage". Let me pastor and teach and preach and evangelize.
All that being said, my concern is less about being a manager and more about the balance between "pastor" and "evangelist". How much time do we expect priests/bishops/presiding bishop to divide between "tending the home fires" vs. "lighting the fires in the world"?
It's a tough balancing act, but sometimes I wonder if dioceses in particular and our church in general might be healthier if the "driver" spent more time "at the wheel".
I don't have an answer for that. It's not a criticism. It's just a 'wonderment', is all.
I think it needs to be explored, not just at the top level, but at all levels in the church.
As a lay leader in the church, I encountered clergy who were great pastors but couldn't manage their own finances, let alone the parish's. As a priest, I have served under bishops whose administrative skills have been lacking. Some of them delegated those functions quite well, others not so well. But the structure makes delegation of authority optional.
Especially at the PB/Primate level, the person should be first a prophetic leader and pastor, and especially able to fill those roles on a national stage. To expect them also to be a top-notch manager considerably narrows the pool of candidates.
I'll second Terry's comment that mischief in the church is hardly confined to the episcopate.
I utterly agree with Elizabeth.
But why are we talking about this? The PB HAS a CEO --we call it COO, but it´s the same. And no, the PB cannot really act without GC and its extension, EC. So I don´t know what this is about. Or are we afraid that the next (conservative?) PB may have to be "balanced" in some way? Someone enlighten me....

This week's live show is definitely not one of Fogelnest's bests. Most of the gags feel forced, and the few that the panel of guests are able to run with fail to gain much traction. To make matters worse, the onstage dynamic never moves beyond its initial awkward phase. [AB]
