JPMorgan: The Bank That Kicked the Regulatory Hornets’ Nest

Trading fiasco's timing is terrible for bank investors

Financial reform, with the enactment of Dodd-Frank and the creation of the Consumer Protection Financial Bureau, hasn’t been the death by a thousand cuts that banks said it would be — but it has added uncertainty and taken bites out of their revenues.

Now, just when the nation’s financial institutions had largely adjusted to this brave new regulatory world, JPMorgan Chase‘s (NYSE:JPM) $2 billion-and-counting trading loss has put the Volcker Rule back at the top of regulators’ agenda.

And that’s the last thing investors in bank stocks needed.

The financial sector has led the S&P lower during the past month, as the JPMorgan fiasco added fuel to a fire touched off by the crisis in the eurozone. And it’s not just that the best risk manager on Wall Street — the bank that came out of the financial crisis smelling like a rose — had a complex bet on derivatives blow up in its face. True, that’s bad enough, shaking confidence in the wider industry.

No, it’s that the loss handed a cudgel to proponents of the Volcker Rule — a proposal that cuts to the heart of what was once an outsized profit engine for banks.

The Volcker Rule, named for former Federal Reserve chief Paul Volcker, would bar banks from making speculative bets that aren’t on the behalf of clients. Proprietary trading, owning or investing in hedge funds or private equity funds would be barred. The idea is that if these bets go bad and lead to catastrophic losses, well, the money the banks burned would have come from its depositors — funds that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and backstopped by U.S. taxpayers.

In short, banks shouldn’t take risks with their depositors’ cash.

Make no mistake: That’s a good thing. But bank stocks sure don’t like it. Even as the Volcker Rule still is being written — and banks will have another two years to get in full compliance as long as they make what the Fed calls a “good faith” effort — Dodd-Frank and the impending rule already are taking a toll on revenues, as banks shut down trading on their own accounts and exit hedge funds.

“The passage of Dodd-Frank has changed the business models and profitability for many U.S. financial firms, especially large ones, as it has changed the services, fee structure, and limited the services financial firms can offer,” notes Frederick Cannon, analyst at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, in a report to clients.

JPMorgan says its bad trade was in compliance; that it was a poorly executed hedge — a claim that has been met with skepticism and snickers. But whether that’s true is almost beside the point as far as investors are concerned. The potential damage to the broader industry lies in all the heat it has brought down.

The Federal Reserve, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission are all investigating. Meanwhile, the Senate Banking Committee is grilling executives in hearings, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York reportedly is examining how banks are managing cash and we’re even hearing calls for the return of Glass-Steagall, the Depression-era law that split commercial banks from securities firms.

Lawmakers and regulators are saber-rattling over stricter interpretation of Dodd-Frank and a tougher version of the Volcker Rule. How much of that is political posturing in an election year and how much it ultimately costs banks very much remains to be seen.

But JPMorgan’s loss couldn’t have come at a worse time for bank investors. Regulatory uncertainty is an overhang on stocks, and investors won’t get a sense of how it’s going to play out until they get a look at the Volcker Rule. With no firm date set for the ink to dry, that’s something that could take all summer long.

As of this writing, Dan Burrows did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Cold Days...Warm Moments

The times are always going through their changes, aren't they. One day I can be up, the next day, down. Nothing to do with not taking the appropriate medications. It's a mind limiting thing... leads to procrastination, hiding, depression. Or, I can work a little differently. The glass does not have to be filled with castor oil; mocha expresso will bring a smile to my face and warm my heart.

After all,every now and then I can admit to myself that I am a wonderful human being and I do make mistakes. And those mistakes can either lead me to freeze up, not try again, just plain give up. Or I can decide to take responsibility for my mistake, reflect on what I did, and learn what I shall try the next time. In other words,
life can either look beautiful or ugly, depending on how I choose to look at it.

For example the thought that the Dr. Martin Luther King Library might close just breaks my heart. So many wonderful people go there. The staff is so kind to me. I have found so many precious books, compact discs, and dvds there... Just sitting there and people watching gives me a deep sense of being really close to folks.

So... I am going to let my desire to keep MLK known to every human being I can and encourage folks to write the librarian director and let her know MLK needs to stay open. Here are the names of the board memebers and the phone number for the administrative offices:

I walk down the stairs at Orton Hall this cold grey Monday morning and look, beautiful pieces of work created by Bellarmine High School students. Wonderful!

For every challenging experience, there is the hard, cold side, and the exciting, warm side.

Keep warm...

The Voynich Manuscript first came to (modern) light in 1912. It is named after Wilfrid Voynich, a rare book dealer who plucked the forgotten tome from a dusty shelf in a Jesuit college near Rome, and made it famous. Illustrations of planets, plants, and 'bathing' women decorate its pages. It is also covered with dense text and what seem to be notes and recipes. Why is it named after a book dealer instead of the person who put so many hours into enriching its 230 pages? Because no one knows who the author is. In fact, no one knows anything about the book.

At first glance, it appears to be filled with Latin text, since many of its characters resemble Latin letters. Any scholar could see, though, that the book is not written in Latin. Once linguists and handwriting experts were exhausted, the Voynich Manuscript was kicked over to cryptographers. It was assumed that its author had used some kind of decipherable code. Despite a great deal of work, and probably even more frustration, no one could make out what exactly this mystery writer was saying.

Since then, people have focused on the bathing women, and given up on reading the articles. The hairstyles indicated that the book was written in the late fourteen hundreds or early fifteen hundreds. At last, scholars gave up on the mystery manuscript, dating it to around 1470 to 1500, and labeled it jibberish. Some even consider it a hoax.

The hoax contingent was recently dealt a blow. Carbon dating has revealed the book, or at least the paper of the book, to be even earlier than imagined. University of Arizona scientists have announced that the Voynich Manuscript dates back to the early, not late 1400s. It could be a full century older than it appears. The manuscript itself has still not been deciphered, but now that it's not a 1920s hoax, what is it? And if it was created in the early 1400s, but its bathing beauties sport hair popular in the late 1400s, why is it so prescient about women's hairstyles?

Over the years, there have been plenty of inhumane tests and displays of electricity. People have electrocuted monks, and tortured street urchins, but only one electricity display has resulted in an execution. Find out about the dastardly dance of Giovanni Aldini.

Electricity has been seen as a magic phenomenon for centuries. Although its properties and uses were discovered relatively early, the infrastructure to make it a household convenience didn't exist. As a result, it was a mysterious force for many, and a practical tool for a few. These few decided to show off their knowhow in very unpleasant ways. In 1746, Jean-Antoine Nollet had 200 monks put their hands on a long piece of metal wire. He then hooked the wire up to a battery. When the monks yelled, jumped, and swore simultaneously, he smugly claimed that he had demonstrated just how fast electricity was conducted. Then he did the same thing – while the king was watching, and after being supplied with a fresh set of trusting monks. A typical demonstration in the 1800s was to get a ‘street urchin,' charge him up, and draw sparks off his nose. Those people were all heart.

But Giovanni Aldini went above and beyond. He traveled the countryside with human heads, eyes, and legs. This was in the late 1700s, when corpses were still hard (and often illegal) to come by. Sometimes he'd mix it up with an entire dead cow. Whatever he had on stage, he'd shoot through with electricity. Heads would move their jaws, and blink their eyes, and the cow would kick its legs.

One day officials decided to mix it up by giving Aldini the body of a recently executed convict. Aldini went to town on it. He zapped the face until it started contorted into making expression. He then went after the body until it kicked, punched, and started dancing on stage. At which point the entire crowd insisted that the man be executed again.
It's quite something to cause a man to be re-killed, just for entertainment.

The final confrontation between Luke, Darth Vader and the Emperor could have looked even more intense, going by these storyboards from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. In particular, the Emperor looks sort of like Darth Maul crossed with the Joker, in some of these storyboards by artist David Russell.

These images come from an interview with Russell over at The Movie Blog, in which he talks about being influenced by Jack Kirby, and his friendship with author Jack Vance that got him in the door at Lucasfilm. There are more storyboards, plus a whole slew of storyboards from Tim Burton's Batman, at the link. Check out some more of our favorite images from the Return of the Jedi storyboards in this gallery.

If you had any doubt that Battleship wasn't going to be popcorn-binging highly watchable summertime garbage, let these eight clips from the movie convince you.

Witness two adult males arguing about wasting a birthday wish, Liam Neeson visibly cash a paycheck onscreen, the fleshy aliens' faces (they kind of look like reptile babies!), and pop sensation Rihanna deliver the gem of a line, "Mahalo Motherfucker." Summer movie drinking game, we have found you! But what should the rules be? Battleship will be in theaters on May 18.

The Connection between Cities and Their Artists

A new series from BBC News called "Sense of the City" will explore this topic by inviting novelists who know the cities where they live well to write commentaries about fiction written and set there. Bapsi Sidhwa has published what I think is the first installment, a commentary on her home, Lahore, India. Once again, it appears that I am hardwired to the Zeitgeist, since I have been engaged in my reading project on Paris, where I lived, for over a year now. I don't know what the odds are, but I am guessing that Paris will appear in the BBC News series? Somehow, I don't think Washington, D.C., will. Hmm.

The first installment of "Sense of the City" was Barcelona by Matthew Tree (July 28). (By the way, if you want to see a fun movie set in Barcelona, I recommend L'auberge espagnole by Cédric Klapisch, which should still be in cinemas now, or Whit Stillman's Barcelona from 1994.) Since the article on Lahore cited above, there have also been Manila by F. Sionil Jose (July 30) and Lagos by Helon Habila (July 31). The online pages are transcripts of radio articles on the program "The World Today," which you can hear on BBC World Service. It will continue until August 8.

From the House of the Dead

Outside that gate is the world of light and freedom, where men live like the rest of mankind. But those living on this side of the fence picture that world as some unattainable fairyland. Here there is a world apart, unlike everything else, with laws of its own, its own dress, its own manners and customs, and here is the house of the living dead -- life as nowhere else and a people apart. It is this corner apart that I am going to describe.

Fyodor Dostoevsky, The House of the Dead (trans. Constance Black Garnett), Chapter 1
available at Amazon
Janáček, From the House of the Dead, dir. P. Chéreau, Mahler Chamber Orchestra, P. Boulez

(released on April 22, 2008)
Deutsche Grammophon 00440 073 4426
Schedule permitting, Ionarts tries to review a couple of productions at the Metropolitan Opera here and there. Looking at the fall schedule, there are a couple that definitely catch my eye, beginning with the Rosenkavalier (October 13 to 22, with Renée Fleming, Susan Graham, and Miah Persson making a not-half-bad trio of the Marschallin, Octavian, and Sophie), although I might prefer to wait for the second round (January 1 to 15), with Christine Schäfer stepping in as Sophie. Of even greater interest is the chance to see Leoš Janáček's From the House of the Dead (Z Mrtvého Domu), mounted from November 12 to December 5. The Met will revive the much lauded 2007 staging by Patrice Chéreau, released last year on DVD in a recording from the Aix-en-Provence Festival. Instead of Pierre Boulez, a noted champion of Janáček's last opera, Esa-Pekka Salonen will make his debut at the podium of the Metropolitan Opera, with a couple of the singers from Aix-en-Provence reprising their roles.

Janáček adapted his libretto from the Dostoevsky novel quoted above, taking much of the dialogue more or less directly from the book while selecting and reordering the episodes. Dostoevsky's narrator presents the story as the memoir of a nobleman sentenced to hard labor in a Siberian prison, found among his papers after his death. Dostoevsky knew something about being a prisoner, because he endured a four-year sentence in Siberia after being convicted for belonging to a proscribed political group (the character of Goryanchikov is a stand-in for Dostoevsky). Pairing up again with Boulez after their ingenious (and, by some, hated) production of The Ring at Bayreuth, Patrice Chéreau goes with the bleak atmosphere of Dostoevsky to make a prison of massive steely walls rising (sets by Richard Peduzzi) into darkness (lighting by Bertrand Couderc) and moving about to close in the stage space claustrophobically. The faded, ratty costumes (designed by Caroline de Vivaise) are all dirty brown, blank gray, and a few faint colors. Chéreau excels at choreographing group movement (assisted here by Thierry Thieû Niang), which is basically all of this opera, requiring skilled acting from characters even when they are not singing.

The cast is strong vocally and largely Czech, which is always a bonus for the pronunciation of this rather complex language. Standing out for particular praise are the obsessive, troubled Luka/Filka of Slovak tenor Štefan Margita (who will make his Met debut this fall, in the same role), the unbalanced Skuratov of John Mark Ainsley, and the solid bass-baritone of Gerd Grochowski's Šiškov. Chéreau emphasizes the paternal relationship of the new political prisoner, Gorjančikov, and the innocent young man, Aljeja (sung by the handsome tenor Eric Stoklossa, rather than as a trouser role for mezzo-soprano, the other option allowed by the score), whom he teaches to read. All of this contributes to the verisimilitude of the production, which does not take place in a specific prison, perhaps, but in a place which all viewers would likely recognize as "prison." Like other Janáček operas (Cunning Little Vixen and Jenůfa, especially) the composer holds his strongest moments for the ending, when some especially transcendent music takes hold of the score, depicting the ultimate fate of the wounded eagle the prisoners have found. This is a very good way to get to know this gorgeous opera, especially if followed up by a live performance at the Met in a couple months.

100' + 48' (with worthy extra tracks of rehearsals and conversations among the creative team)

Bruce Hodges said...

This is the production I am most looking forward to this year. As a huge fan of Janáček's operas, I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I don't know this one well at all, but I do have this DVD in the "to watch" pile.

Thanks for posting these comments.

Doug Gary said...

The DVD provided a very moving experience for me visually and musically. I'm bummed that the Met didn't include this on on their HD Live season this year.

Charles T. Downey said...

Yeah, it's no mystery why this opera did not make the cut for HD broadcast, but it's still a shame! Road trip!

Akimon Azuki said...

Myself and VRN are going to NYC to see From the House of the Dead live in early December; we also have tickets for Lulu (there are only three performances) and Attila (Ildar, Muti, Prada.. what's not to like?). Mind you, with the New York prices being as ridiculous as usual, it would probably be cheaper to fly to Europe, but there's this jet lag thing to consider.. Local pickings are slim though: Washington National Opera's offerings are really blah this season; we just saw Rossini's Barber today, and it was barbarous and, well, Rossini, and our only other planned outings for WNO are Olga & Ildar, and Ariadne. We will always have Lafayette Opera though.. and lots of opera DVDs!

msolomondo said...

I saw Miah Persson as Sophie in San Francisco a few seasons ago and she was fantastic -- I am excited to hear her again in her Met debut. Highly recommended.

2011 Highlights: UC IPM Annual Report

UC IPM Builds Program for Retail Nurseries and Garden Centers

UC IPM Builds Program for Retail Nurseries and Garden Centers

  • New Web portal focuses on IPM resources for retail employees.
  • Training helps retailers give better pest management advice to consumers.

Based on feedback from a 2010 survey of nearly 100 retail stores in Northern California, UC IPM prepared several tools to help educate retail employees and customers on pest management and less toxic pesticides including a new Web site, a newsletter, and a train-the-trainer workshop.

UC IPM unveiled its Nursery and Garden Center Portal on the Web, a one-stop shop for retailers looking for pest management information and other UC IPM resources to help answer customer questions. Portal links focus on the UC IPM pages that retailers frequent the most as well as information on upcoming workshops, online training, seasonal pest topics, and more.

UC IPM also distributed four issues of Retail Nursery and Garden Center IPM News, a new quarterly e-newsletter for employees, managers, and owners to help them provide customers with the latest pest information from UC. More than 450 people have subscribed since the first issue was released in April.

The first in a series of train-the-trainer IPM workshops planned for retailers was held in November in Oakland, Calif. Sixty participants from 32 stores in the Bay Area attended, and topics included landscape pest identification, finding information using the UC IPM Web site, and pesticides and other products with an emphasis on less toxic pesticides. Each participant was given resources so they could repeat some of the training for other employees when they returned to their stores.

Retail stores are a key source of pest management information for many California consumers, and UC IPM will continue building its relationships with retail nursery and garden center staff and managers to help them pass UC science-based IPM information to their customers. View the UC IPM Nursery and Garden Center Portal at www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/RETAIL/index.html. You can also sign up to subscribe to the newsletter on this site.

Summertime traffic safety reminder

Dear Editor:

The Isanti County TZD program advocates for traffic safety behind the wheel. As a result of recent discussions, it is time again to remind drivers to be careful. Traffic safety is something we all need to be aware of this summer. There are four things drivers can do to avoid a crash.

First, wear your seat belt. The seat belt is probably the most important safety device in the vehicle. Be sure that all vehicle occupants are properly restrained with the seat belt and/or child passenger seat.

Second, drive the speed limit. Speeds are posted and correspond to how the road is engineered. Going over the speed limit could result in loss of vehicle control in an emergency, reduced reaction time, and potentially a more serious crash result.

Third, pay attention. Distracted driving is cited as one of the major factors in crashes. Driving is the most important function when behind the wheel. Avoid distractions such as cell phones, texting, and eating for safety reasons.

Fourth, don’t drive impaired. The legal BAC limit is .08. Drivers can avoid a DUI simply by not drinking and driving. In Isanti County, Safe Cab is generally available Thursday thru Saturday. Ask your server for details about using a safe cab.

The Isanti TZD programs wishes everyone a safe and enjoyable summer. Thank you.

Bob Bollenbeck

Isanti TZD Program Coordinator

Willem de Kooning, "Woman"Oil on Paper BoardH. 90.8 cm; W. 61.9 cm1953-54Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Alastair B. Martin, the Guennol CollectionTBM: 57. 124 The highly anticipated exhibition From Ancient to Modern: Archaeology and Aesthetics, opens at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (ISAW) on February 12, 2015. With some 50 outstanding ancient objects, and more than 100 related documents, photographs, and drawings, this groundbreaking exhibition examines the fascinating process through which archaeological objects are transformed from artifacts to artworks and, sometimes, to popular icons, as they move from the sites of their discovery, to be publicized by mass media and exhibited by museums. The exhibition focuses on excavations during the 1920s and 1930s at early Mesopotamian sites in what is modern-day Iraq, marking a golden age for archaeology. It reveals the role of archaeologists, art historians, journalists, museum curators, and conservators in constructing identities for now-iconic Mesopotamian material that not only resonated with contemporary Western popular and artistic culture, but that also MMA-editplaced the finds as integral to the history of Western civilization. In a first for ISAW, From Ancient to Modern also features modern and contemporary art, including work by Alberto Giacometti, Willem de Kooning, Jananne al-Ani, and Michael Rakowitz, revealing the impact that Mesopotamian material had and continues to have on the art of our times.

This exhibition is organized by the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology and was made possible by the generous support of the David Berg Foundation, Agnes Gund, the Tianaderrah Foundation, Hicham and Dina Aboutaam, and Fred and Diana Elghanayan, and the Leon Levy Foundation. Additional support provided by Vartan and Clare R. Gregorian and the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

Welcome To My World

This is running for governor, and thinks she'd be a good change after Mark "Take A Hike" Sanford leaves office.

Lt. Governor Andre Bauer: "My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed. You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better."

He believes the state should not give assistance to the children of parents that fail drug tests or don't attend PTA meetings. And, Miss Bauer thinks students that receive free lunches get the lowest grades, so perhaps they ought to starve.

For the record, Bauer was outed last year by blogger Mike Rogers; one of many outed in the documentary Outrage.

Is Andre Bauer gay? I couldn't care less.
Is he an asshat?
Oh, yes!
Bauer has since apologized for comparing the poor to stray animals.

Live Updates - Islanders at Hurricanes 4/23/13

Live Updates - Islanders at Hurricanes 4\/23\/13

Live Updates - Islanders at Hurricanes

7:00 p.m. - PNC Center - Raleigh, NC

Note: Page will automatically refresh every 60 seconds.

Islanders have beaten 13 of the 14 other Eastern Conference teams at least once this season. This is the one they haven't. First (and only) meeting in Carolina, after two previous matchups at the Coliseum.

1st Period
3:57: Carolina gets an early one, and it's 1-0 Canes. Alex Semin with a wrister from a hard angle. Canes took a 3-on-2 rush. I think it was intended to be a pass across the slot, but it went off a defenseman's stick and beat Nabokov five-hole.

4:40: Keith Aucoin makes a steal at the Hurricanes line and breaks in unobstructed. He wrists it up high past Dan Ellis, off the cross-bar and back out.

6:04: Isles tie it at 1-1. Mark Streit puts it into the slot from the right side, and it changed direction off Brad Boyes and in. Goal is under review for a kick, so we're still awaiting a decision.

6:04: After review, they uphold the goal. 10th of the year for Boyes.

16:20: A little floater from the point gets through to give Carolina a 2-1 lead. Jordan Staal makes a great deflection on Jay Harrison's shot to put it over Evgeni Nabokov's glove. 10th of the season for Jordan Staal.

End 1st: CAR 2 NYI 1. Shots: NYI 11 CAR 10.

Elsewhere, Washington leads Winnipeg 1-0 as the first period nears an end. A Capitals win means good things for the Islanders playoff chances. VIEW STANDINGS

2nd Period
4:37: Matt Moulson with the Islanders best chance of the middle period so far on a nifty play in the slot. Pad save by Ellis though.

7:34: Josh Bailey ties this thing at 2-2. Kyle Okposo kept the puck in the zone and made a nice fake to generate a shot on goal. Ellis made the initial save, and the rebound went outside for an unchecked Bailey, who roofed it.

9:48: Jesse Joensuu unable to connect on a chance in front. Game remains tied at 2-2.

Winnipeg, who trailed 2-0 after 20 minutes of play in Washington, got one back 16 seconds into the second period from Evander Kane to make it 2-1.

12:12: Nabokov with a sliding save that I'd file under "ridiculous" on Eric Staal, who one-timed an east-west feed from Semin.

15:56: Brian Strait with a blast from the top of the zone, but Ellis saw it through minimal traffic.

17:45: Patrick Dwyer gives the Canes another lead; 3-2. Tuomo Ruutu made a play from behind the net for Jordan Staal, who I don't think saw it coming. The puck deflected off his skates and out wide to Dwyer, who was coming in hard off a line change and teed it up for the go-ahead tally.

End 2nd: CAR 3 NYI 2. Shots: NYI 25 CAR 20.

Blake Wheeler ties it for Winnipeg at 14:11 of the second period, but it's short-lived. Alex Ovechkin puts the Caps back up, 3-2, just 37 seconds later with his 31st of the season.

Mathieu Perrault gives Washington a 4-2 lead later in the second, and that's the score for those teams with one period remaining. Isles need a combination of three points from Winnipeg and themselves. With a Winnipeg regulation loss, the Isles could clinch a playoff spot with just one point tonight.

3rd Period
2:49: Semin goes to the box for interference on Matt Moulson. Isles are 0-for-1 tonight on the PP.

6:54: Pretty good pressure there by the Joensuu-Cizikas-Martin line, but nothing goes in. Isles still trail 3-2.

8:27: Nabokov misplays one behind the goal, and sets up Ruutu in front with a wide open net. Unfortunately for the Canes forward, he hits the post. I had that one of the board already. Still 3-2 Carolina somehow.

12:05: Aucoin has been visible tonight, to say the least. Another chance on goal, but Ellis covers up and keeps the Hurricanes lead in tact.

18:59: Okposo scores and this baby is tied. In between a line change. Moulson to Tavares on the left side, and he feeds the front of the net, where it goes in off some part of Okposo's gear. 3-3, folks. If this goes to OT, and WSH holds on (they lead 4-2 with 8:28 remaining in regulation, Isles are playoff-bound.

End 3rd: NYI 3 CAR 3. BIG point. Shots: NYI 36 CAR 27.

Nik Antropov scored for WPG at 11:50 of the third. It's 4-3 WSH.

2:07: Michael Grabner rings one off the post.

3:43: Great save by Ellis, who was moving side-to-side, on a Tavares wrist shot. We're still playing hockey tonight.

End Overtime: NYI 3 CAR 3. We're headed to the skills competition. Still 4-3 in Washington, with four minutes to play.

TMCNet:  WunderStation for iPad Takes Weather Data to A New Level

[September 04, 2014]

WunderStation for iPad Takes Weather Data to A New Level

(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 09/04/14 -- Weather Underground today announced the launch of WunderStation for iPad. Weather enthusiasts and weather station owners alike have a new go-to weather app for their iPad. WunderStation offers a unique perspective on data from individual weather stations within Weather Underground's network of over 37,000 stations.

The WunderStation App allows iPad users to view, analyze, share, and compare data from personal weather stations across the world through a streamlined interface consisting of customizable charts and graphics. Not only can weather station owners closely monitor their station's data and operational status on the go, but anyone can access real-time weather data from any station in the network. With the ability to customize the display dashboard, the WunderStation app provides a personalized weather experience for each user, allowing them to prioritize the information that they individually care about.

"WunderStation is unique not only for the breadth and depth of the weather data, but also its focus on beautiful data visualization that makes the information easy to understand. Each widget is designed to display data like an infographic with the option to expand and dig deeper. So whether you own a personal weather station or just like to geek out on the weather, WunderStation is the app for you!" says Allan Hui, Vice President of Product at Weather Underground.

Started in 2001, the Weather Underground Personal Weather Station network was created to address the growing need for meteorologists to gain access to more granular data. This unique network allows Weather Underground to utilize weather data from actual neighborhoods, not just from the closest airport. With the data supplied by these stations, Weather Underground is able to provide users with extremely localized forecasts.

Data Warehouse Scars - They Make You Stronger
Overcome the urge to create a data warehouse from the most common and safe data in your organization. The approach called "If we build it, they will come" has been proving unworthy in most cases. Fortunately, data warehouse teams are learning to turn BI tools inward and use them as requirements gathering tools to build real, valuable data into their data warehouses with a more collaborative approach with end users.
Database Administration and Management
Changes in the IT industry (including autonomics, tools, and outsourcing) have changed the costs and benefits of tasks performed by IT database professionals. We need to move away from reactive tactics toward more proactive strategies. To do this, IT management needs to change the way the DB professional is compensated, motivated, and managed. This blog addresses these important (and urgent) changes.

A low-cost replacement for the $1 Double Cheeseburger. Released by McDonalds in 2008 to help deal with rising food/labor prices, in order to offer a sandwich that still can be sold for $1.00.
Could I please have two McDoubles and a Diet Coke?
di tehchriso 05 dicembre 2008
Just like the McDonalds cheeseburger it looks and sounds good, but you alway wonder 'why did I eat that, it was nowhere near as good as it looked. ' Its that one chick that everyone wants. Only after you sleep with her you wonder, 'Why did that seem like a good idea, she was totally disappointing!'
Steve: 'Dude, that chick you took home from the church picnic was so hot'

Tom: 'Man, she turned out to be a McDouble'
di Antonto Cleavage 06 ottobre 2011
Uncommonly pronounced McDooblay, the McDouble is a double cheeseburger sold by McDonald's for one US dollar. Consuming more than two McDoubles will cause you to take a McDump shortly after.
Bob: "Yo Joe, I just bought 3 McDoubles for $3... what a deal!"

Joe: "It won't be such a good deal when you have to take a McDump later on."

di CAHMCKW 07 gennaio 2011
A McDouble is basically a cheeseburger but with two meat patties, two buns, and ONE slice of cheese. Yes, ONE slice of cheese. And they cost 99c.

This is supposedly the new value item on the menu as it replaces the original double cheeseburgers.

Speaking of double cheeseburgers, those are $1.19 now. They went up by 20c.
The McDouble is now the new double cheeseburgers. Except it has one slice of cheese.

1. Director Statement

    Pat Spurgeon and I have been good friends for more than a decade. We have worked on music and film projects together in the past, but nothing quite like what D Tour has become.

    Before this project started, I knew a little about Pat’s history. I knew he had a kidney transplant in 1994, and that it was a huge undertaking, especially for a 25-year-old college student and aspiring musician. A few years later I befriended Pat, and — like many other organ recipients — he never really talked about it. Of course, he carried on with his life, pursuing his goals like the rest of us. I never thought about how Pat would have to go through that again. And, after the next transplant, he will have to go through it again … and again … for the rest of his life.

    Pat found out in early 2006 that it was time to go down that road again. His 1994 transplanted kidney still had some function left, but it was inevitable that he would need a new one. This time he did more than just talk about it; he felt the urge to share his story with others.

    Pat called me just before starting dialysis and asked if I wanted to make “a video” about his experience through this elaborate process. The “hook” was that he was going to stay with Rogue Wave and continue touring and performing on dialysis! Pat wanted to show others who might be in the same predicament that you could go through this and live your life the way you want to. The original idea was to do a 10-minute piece that showed Pat going through dialysis, finding a donor and — finally — a transplant. Almost three years later, I’ve ended up with about 80 hours of footage.

    With the driving force of music behind him, Pat strives to share his exclusive outlook and experiences with an audience who may have not have had the opportunity to think about the importance of organ donation, and what one person goes through in dealing with a rigid health care system. I certainly learned a lot along the way. —Jim Granato

Policy Focus: The Real Debt Crisis

Carrie L. Lukas

Download the PDF

Americans frequently hear that our economy is imperiled when the U.S. government debt approaches its legal borrowing limit.  Yet it’s the debt itself—not the debt limit—which is the real, long-term threat to the economy.

Women typically oversee their household’s day-to-day finances.  They understand that if a family habitually spends more than it takes in, the real problem isn’t that they have hit their credit card borrowing limit.  The real problem is that they are spending more than they can afford and need to reassess their lifestyle or risk bankruptcy.

The United States faces a similar dilemma. Currently, our official national debt is $16.7 trillion.  That’s around $53,000 for every citizen.  Even this eye-popping sum understates the real unfunded liabilities of our nation because it ignores the promises made, but not financed, by our nation’s entitlement programs, including Social Security and Medicare.

Congress is supposed to protect the public’s interest by preventing ruinous debt accumulation, which is why there is a limit on how much debt the Administration can issue.  Hitting the debt ceiling is a problem, though the government can prioritize the most critical obligations (such as interest payments) to minimize damage and disruption.  Ultimately, Congress and the Administration should come to an agreement to raise the debt limit to avoid such crises, but more fundamentally, policy leaders need to develop a plan for bringing spending in line with revenue and to reduce our national debt.

A racial slur against white men.

Calling a grown man "boy" is a way to denegrate and belittle him and call him inferior.

John Kerry runs racist ads that call Bush "white-boy"!!!
Bush appoints people of color to high positions,unlike Democrats who want to hold the black race down by teaching them that they are weak victims.

a caucasian male that knows hes white and is proud of it but is not at the least bit racist
i yell out WHITE BOY REPPIN to all my homies
kay_oによって 2009年08月12日(水)
Used by both non-white and white Americans, this largely playful term refers to a white male of any age, but particularly young adults (15 - 30 years old), as seen specifically from the perspective of certain traditional non-white stereotypes.

The preconceptions suggested by this term often include ideas such as white men's inferior physical prowess in certain traditionally non-white sports, white men's awkward social behavior (especially around black and other non-white social groups), white men's tendency to pursue certain careers, hobbies, musical interests, political affiliations etc., which differ from those of their non-white counterparts, and countless other indicators which may or may not have a basis in objective reality.

While the term may occasionally be used by non-whites to express actual hostility at white people over historical racial issues, the trend has been toward a more playful, even ironic, use of the term. It is not uncommon to hear a black person use the term affectionately when speaking of a white friend, or even to hear two white people using the term in reference to each other and/or themselves.

As the slang term described above, this two-word expression generally appears in spoken dialog only. In official written English, a white boy requires the preceding article (a, the) and means only a young male who is white.
"Hey, white boy.. put down the basketball and go find a soccer field somewhere.."

some of them are okay people that are reserve and keep to them self. But from the ones i have seen they do now set such a good example for White ppl.

The ones that dont set a good example are racist red necks that make fun of other races because they think their funny. Why do you think the first thing you thing of a racist is a white person.

Why Nanowires Make Great Photodetectors

San Diego, CA, April 23, 2007 -- The geometry of semiconducting nanowires makes them uniquely suited for light detection, according to a new UC San Diego study that highlights the possibility of nanowire light detectors with single-photon sensitivity.

Nanowires are crystalline fibers about one thousandth the width of a human hair, and their inherent properties are expected to enable new photodetector architectures for sensing, imaging, memory storage, intrachip optical communications and other nanoscale applications, according to a new study in an upcoming issue of the journal Nano Letters.The UCSD engineers illustrate why the large surface areas, small volumes and short lengths of nanowires make them extremely sensitive photodetectors – much more sensitive than larger photodetectors made from the same materials.

“These results are encouraging and suggest a bright future for nanowire photodetectors, including single-photon detectors, built from nanowire structures,” said Deli Wang, an electrical and computer engineering (ECE) professor from the UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering and corresponding author on the Nano Letters paper.

For a nanowire to serve as a photodetector, photons of light with sufficient energy must hit the nanowire in such a way that electrons are split from their positively charged holes. Electrons must remain free from their holes long enough to zip along the nanowire and generate electric current under an applied electric field – a sure sign that light has been detected.

The new research demonstrates that the geometry of nanowires – with so much surface area compared to volume – makes them inherently good at trapping holes. Dangling bonds on vast nanowire surfaces trap holes – and when holes are trapped, the time it takes electrons and holes to recombine increases. Delaying the reunion of an electron and its hole increases the number of times that electron travels down the nanowire, which in turn triggers an increase in current and results in “internal photoconductive gain.”

“Different kinds of nanowires detect different wavelengths of light. You could make a red-green-blue photodetector on the nanoscale by combining the right three kinds of nanowires,” said Cesare Soci, one of two primary authors on the Nano Letters paper and a postdoctoral researcher in the Deli Wang lab at the Jacobs School. The other primary author is Arthur Zhang, a graduate student in the lab of Yu-Hwa Lo, an electrical engineering professor at the Jacobs School.

This work supports recent theoretical work from Peter Asbeck’s High Speed Device Group, also at the Jacobs School.

“Our theoretical work showed that light-induced conductivity in nanowires can be increased by more than 10 times over similar bulk structures under the same illumination level. The work from Deli Wang’s lab has confirmed some of our calculations and provides further support for the idea that nanowires will be increasingly incorporated into photodetection and photovoltaic applications,” said Asbeck.

In the new work, short pulses of ultraviolet light (hundreds of femtoseconds wide) were detected on time scales in the nanosecond range. Moreover, using electronic measurement of photocurrent, the engineers reported internal photoconductive gain (G) as high as 10^8 – one of the highest ever reported.

“Although nanowire detectors offer both high speed and high gain, the most important figure of merit for the device is the signal-to-noise ratio or the sensitivity,” explained Yu-Hwa Lo, an author on the Nano Letters paper and the director of NANO3, the clean nanofabrication facility at Calit2's UCSD campus.

“Because of the unique geometry of nanowires, the active volume that produces dark current, a source of noise, is only one thousandth that of a normal size photodetector. This enables nanowire detectors to achieve very high sensitivity, provided that light can be efficiently coupled into the nanowires. Several methods have been proposed to achieve light coupling efficiency, such as placing the nanowires in an optical resonant cavity. In theory, a nanowire detector can achieve single photon sensitivity, which is the ultimate sensitivity for any photodetector,” said Lo.

The engineers also show that molecular oxygen absorbed at the surface of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires capture free electrons present in n-type ZnO nanowires and make them especially good at keeping holes and electrons apart. The oxygen mechanism the authors outline explains much of the enhanced sensitivity reported in ZnO nanowire photodetectors.

The engineers fabricated and characterized UV photodetectors made from ZnO nanowires with diameters of 150 to 300 nanometers and lengths ranging from 10 to 15 micrometers. The researchers studied the photoconductivity of zinc oxide nanowires over a broad time range and under both air and vacuum.

Analytical studies performed by Peter Asbeck and ECE graduate student Lingquan Wang and published in the proceedings of IEEE-NANO 2006 support the mechanism outlined in the Nano Letters paper.

Illustrated Tirthankar Charitra

Shri Amar Muni

The being hat was to be Bhagavan Naminath purified his soul during his birth as king Siddharth of Kshambi town in East Mhavideh. He reincarnated as a god in the Aparajit dimension. this being then descended into he womb of queen Vipra, wife of king Vijay of Mithila. As the queen had seen fourteen auspicious things in her dream at the moment of conception, the augurs informed hat the child to be born was going to be a Chkravarti or a Tirthankar.

During the pregnancy period once Mithila was attacked by some very powerful kings. Peace loving king Vijay was at a loss to find a peaceful solution and was worried. An expert augur told the king that the pregnant queen should go to the roof of the palace and look at the attacking armies. The queen followed the instructions and threw a loving glance at the large armies stationed on the fields outside the town. The aura of the pious soul in the womb was so powerful that it cast a pacifying spell on the attackers. the kings who were sure to win the battle, surrendered and bowed before king Vijay.

This incident inspired the king to name the new born as Naminath. Born on the eighth day of the dark half of the month of Sravan, Naminath had a happy childhood. When he became young he was married and later was given the reign of the kingdom. After a long and peaceful reign he became an ascetic on the ninth day of the dark half of the month of Ashadh. After nine months he attained omniscience under a Bakul Tree in a garden near Mithila. His first discourse was on the subject of right perception. After a long period of religious and spiritual activities he went to Sammetsikhar and got liberated on the tenth day of the dark half of the month of Vaishakh.

The tenth Chakravarti Harishen was his contemporary and the eleventh Chakravarti Jai came in his religious tradition, through much later.

CC Ran The Bases And The Earth Moved

He threw 98 mph. He didn’t walk a single batter. And he struck out eight en route to the Yankees 9-1 victory over the Mets. He also had an RBI single and scored during the Mets’ error-filled meltdown in the second. I could feel the ground shake as he chugged home. He’s as big as The Fridge, isn’t he?
Anyway, it was a masterful performance, marred only by Sheffield’s blast, and I hope he doesn’t catch the bug that claimed Jeter, the birthday boy, who was scratched from the lineup with a bad cough.
Other than CC, the hero of the night was Brett the Jet, who is insanely fast and could probably win a race with this guy.
Five-for-five with a homer, a triple and a stolen base? How hug-worthy was that?
Damon continued to excel (great dive/slide on that catch of Cora’s pop up in the first).
Cano played good ball in spite of his various ailments. And Pena had a couple of doubles, subbing for Jeter. But how about A-Rod. He’s looked like a different player in the last few games. Maybe it’s the day off he had during the week or the hip that’s finally healing or the fact that Kate Hudson is following him around the country and bringing him luck instead of jinxing him.
All I know is he made several nice plays at third and passed Reggie on the all-time home run list.
I wonder why the Mets’ defense goes all loosey-goosey when they face the Yanks. That second inning was like a bloopers reel. Maybe it’s because of their lame old theme song. Here’s Bob Costas singing it. Not good at all.
P.S. I’m sad about Nady. I thought he’d have a big year for us. And now he’s done.
Goodbye, X-Man. It was fun while you lasted.

Jane, nice win over the Mets. And congrats to A Rod. So where did this Kate Hudson thing come from?? When does he have time for baseball?

Think of how great A-Rod might be if he spent as much time concentrating on the game as he does on the current flame of the month. It is kind of sad.

First Pavano, now Nady!!! What is it with the hot guys when they sign with the Yankees??!!!

Very happy with the monster win — we need to keep this going. Boston is still winning so we have to do the same just to keep up.

This time in the first inning, again like he did in the ninth in the last subway series, Tex runs out full steam when others would assume the out and trot. He is a winner and the best addition to our team this season.

It is great to see the end of the June slump, and hopefully, the team can sustain its current play for the coming months. Best wishes to A.J. Burnett today as he returns from his 5-game suspension. Hopefully, he’ll match CC pitch for pitch…well, outside of that one at the start of the 5th inning! LOL! It is very sad to see that the X-Man was not able to overcome the elbow problem and is now facing “worst case scenario”. Hopefully, he’ll rebound after surgery to continue a successful playing career (whenever that may be). I hope it is with the Yanks, but regardless I hope it works out for him.

Actually Brett the Jet was 5 for 6.

Actually Brett the Jet was 5 for 6.

Cat, according to the tabloids, he’s been seeing her for awhile. As far as time for baseball, he doesn’t go out with her during the games. LOL.

Too bad about Nady, Diane. I really had high hopes for him in pinstripes after what he showed us last season. Tex amazes me. Did you see that grab at first last night? He makes those defensive gems look easy. Must be heaven for the other infielders.

I hope Nady lands somewhere and has a good career too, Scott. I doubt it will be with the Yankees, but I wish him well. He seems like a good guy. And yes, let’s think positive thoughts for AJ tonight at Citifield!

Right you are, Letsgoyankees. I stand corrected.

Is A-Rod really with Hudson? She should know that he uses performance “enhancers” and not all is as it seems.

Sorry about the double comment.

Maybe Kate likes those “performance enhancers”! Oops, sorry. My return to CA is permanent so like you, I’ll be able to see the conclusion of games early evening instead of having to stay up late nights! As much as I like Jason Giambi, I’d hate to think where we’d be right now if he were still at first base. Tex has been even better than advertised with the glove, and he was already billed as very solid defensively.

I would assume he “performs” well enough, Jeff. But then Kate hasn’t called to confide in me. Not once!

Not sure why the comments are getting scrambled, so sorry I’m not answering them in order….

Scott, so you’re moving back for good. Didn’t realize that. Welcome home then. It’s great to be able to finish watching a game and then have dinner instead of trying to stay awake until the wee hours – especially on Sunday nights with 8 o’clock starts in the east!

one of the most entertaining games of the year for me. I love it when the “little guys” have big nights. It’s even better to see Alex continuing to improve–and watching his impeccable D last night was a thing of beauty. The mets keystone cop act never gets tired for me either. great way to begin the series.

bob costas has me squirming with embarrassment. hilarious-thanks!!

I loved the Mets Keystone Cops act too, Mike, but I know all too well it can happen to us at times – hopefully not soon! Bob Costas? I bet he never realized he’d be on YouTube someday singing that song. Cringe-worthy.

CC was killer. He did it on the mound and at the plate. Talk about taking the game into his own hands.
Brett was also amazing, as usual. Him on the base paths excites me more than home runs these days, believe it or not, lol.
Subway series turning out to be hella fun.😉

Your favorite word, Dillon, really applied to CC last night. He did a great job.

V, I know what you mean about Gardner’s speed being so much fun to watch. And to add a homer on top of it was icing on the cake. Let’s hope we think tonight’s game is as much fun.

I just want to personally thank the Yankees for putting the Mets in their place last night, my Phillies could use all the help they can get.

Yeah, your guys have been having a tough stretch, phi8008. But they’re the WS champs. They’ll turn it around. In the meantime, glad to be of service!

Hi, Jane, glad your guys got a big win. wish our guys could get a win, let alone a big one. 5 essentially rooking pitchers having a slow learning curve and aging superstars who are not hitting do not make for many wins and very few high-scoring games on our sides. I hope you got my email address change (just substitute “comcast” for the earthlink). I may have mentioned this, but strikes again. I followed’s instructions on how to change my email, which only succeeded in my not being able to sign into to at all using either address. I bitched (I’m good at that!) and was told that I do not have an account under either email address. Wonderful! After bitching some more, now I can sign in under my new email address (thought they changed my password without my permission!), but the first screen I see says “Start setting up your blog!” I can’t get my blog to link to my new email account so I can’t post any new articles (posts). I am pissed! They have now got their top internet gurus on the case to try to fix the problem. I REALLY REALLY

… want to have to create my blog all over again. It took me days the first time. Do you still have problems with them?

That’s: DON’T want to have to create…

Thanks for checking my blog out, I appreciate it.
There’s one thing I mean to say in my last comment, and that was the fact that I and every other Phillie fan were so incredibly happy to see Brian Bruney call out that arrogant show-off Francisco Rodriguez on his antics. I know they supposedly made up the other day, but it was great to finally see someone call him out on his antics, its ridiculous. He celebrates after every save like he just won the world series and shows a complete lack of respect for the other team. I hate it. Tip of my cap to Bruney.
Thanks again, I’ll be sure to keep checking your blog out.

I like your blog a lot, phi, so I’ll be back. As for K-Rod, he always drove me crazy when he was with the Angels so I was glad he moved to the NL. But the issue of players, especially pitchers, celebrating isn’t going away. Nobody does it quite like K-Rod, but there are those who don’t like Joba’s fist pump either. I don’t see it as showing up the opposition, but I guess some people do.

Hi, Bee. I haven’t been having technical problems with the blog lately. My only issue is with my own internet server, which has been sooo slow. I’m sorry you’ve been frustrated but am glad to see you’re back and blogging. I hope the A’s turn things around for you too!

Whats up with all of the pictures? I like that fat guy picture that was funny.

Pictures are my way of telling a story, popupboys. They entertain me, so I hope they do the same for you!

Remember This is 2012

For posterity's sake.

From the S&P's own release explaining why they lowered the US credit rating:

"Aug 5, 2011 at 9:12 pm

Reuters reports: “The United States lost its top-notch AAA credit rating from Standard & Poor’s on Friday, in a dramatic reversal of fortune for the world’s largest economy.” The new rating is AA+.

In explaining their decision Standard & Poors cites both the decision by Republicans in Congress to turn the debt ceiling into a political football and the Republicans intransigence on tax increases. Some excerpts from the release:

[...]The political brinksmanship of recent months highlights what we see as America’s governance and policymaking becoming less stable, less effective, and less predictable than what we previously believed. The statutory debt ceiling and the threat of default have become political bargaining chips in the debate over fiscal policy.

[...]It appears that for now, new revenues have dropped down on the menu of policy options.

[...]The act contains no measures to raise taxes or otherwise enhance revenues, though the committee could recommend them.

[...]Compared with previous projections, our revised base case scenario now assumes that the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, due to expire by the end of 2012, remain in place. We have changed our assumption on this because the majority of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measure that would raise revenues, a position we believe Congress reinforced by passing the act.

Standard & Poors indicates that they could improve their rating for the U.S. if “the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts for high earners lapse from 2013 onwards, as the Administration is advocating.”"

It was the Tea Party and the GOP who are terrified of that small minority that caused this. This is part of their plan to destroy the economy so they came blame it on Obama and win in 2012.

WTF do they think they will be winning? They DON'T CARE. Billionaires and multi-billion dollar corporations will be sitting pretty as a picture and that is their goal. The rest of us can eat cake.

You R zombies in SC and elsewhere better remember this in 2012 when they start saying it's Obama and those evil job creator destroying, bible stealing, illegal alien welcoming, baby killing, gay marriage lover liberals' fault.

I may print this out to give to the inevitable Obama blamers I run across.

Thor sez: Is the Tea Party in hot water?

I may print this out, too. Fortunately, in my neck of the world, there are precious few of those. Not that there's none, mind you.

Sharon, lucky you. In my corner, reverse that.
