MINNEAPOLIS - Don't pop that champagne just yet, you 1966 Giants. You're still the worst defense in franchise history. After 43 years on ice, the cork stays in the bottle at 501 points allowed, and in only 14 games.
This season's version gave a good run at infamy, though, allowing 427 points in 16 games, the second most by any Giants team. A field goal late in the third quarter that gave the Vikings a 44-point lead Sunday nudged the 2009 team ahead of the 1980 squad, which gave up 425.
Luckily for the Giants, the Vikings have unfinished business in the playoffs, or they wouldn't have yanked Brett Favre and most of the starters at that point and settled for cruising to a 44-7 victory.
A season that began 5-0 ended at 8-8, lowlighted by two blowouts in which the Giants were outscored 85-16. Last week's 41-9 embarrassment against the Panthers eliminated the Giants from playoff contention. This flop trumped even that woeful effort.
"When you play like that two weeks in a row, it's disrespectful to the logo that's on our helmet," said Shaun O'Hara, who speculated (half-jokingly) that some players might have to thumb a ride back to Jersey.
"To be honest,'' he said, "I wouldn't be surprised if John Mara takes off without us and makes us find our own way home."
Though the Giants allowed 487 yards - and more than 40 points for the fifth time this season - Tom Coughlin seemed to think it was the offense's inefficiency that stymied the team this time. He cited penalties (13) and turnovers (two) for not allowing the Giants to have better "balance."
Coughlin said pointing to the offensive shortcomings was not excuse-making, though. "There is no excuse, so don't write that I made excuses," he said. "Blame me like always. The coach. It was all the coach."
While the Vikings (12-4) were playing for a shot at the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs and a bye - which they clinched with the Cowboys' rout of the Eagles - the Giants spoke heartily during the week about playing for pride and for regained respect.
"It was certainly not a great performance, but I think they all came to the stadium and wanted to play," Coughlin said. "I really don't think for one minute that as we went to the field that anyone was not giving effort."
It sure seemed like it, though, as the Vikings took the opening kickoff and went 60 yards on five plays, scoring on the first of Favre's four touchdown passes, a 10-yarder to former Giants tight end Visanthe Shiancoe. It was 7-0 after the first quarter, 10-0 early in the second. But by halftime it was 31-0.
"So many points so fast," defensive tackle Barry Cofield said. "So many points in the first half. It's unlike anything that we've experienced since I've been here."
The Giants' offense sputtered through the first half, totaling only 82 yards. With turnovers and the end of the half coming into play, the Giants had a string of three of four possessions that each lasted one snap. The one that went beyond that was a three-and-out to start the second half.
Eli Manning said the offense was "confused."
"I don't know why all of a sudden this play came upon us," he said. "We started making mistakes, not being able to convert on third downs and looking bad."
Ultimately, though, it was not the offense's inability that punctuated this season but the defense's. This was a unit that tore through four of its first five opponents as the Giants were touted as one of the league's best teams.
What would the Giants have thought then about allowing the second-most points in franchise history? "No chance I would have believed that at all," defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka said.
The .500 Giants could only reflect on where they were when they left the dome in Minneapolis a year ago, at 12-4 and with the top seed in the playoffs. That's a four-game swing.
"There are four games on our schedule that I know we could have won," O'Hara said. "Everybody will throw their arms up and say this team is terrible, but the reality is you're just a few plays away from being really good. The same is true in the opposite [direction]; you're just a few plays away from being really bad."
And we all know now which of those paths the Giants went down.

There’s an intensity to South Australia’s beaches, as though the waves stirring up the white sand are coming directly from the wilderness of Antarctica beyond. Here, at the edge of Australia, the rock walls of the Great Australian Bight fall abruptly into the Indian Ocean and sandy little spits jut out into deep, dark water.
It’s a brilliant cobalt expanse animated by the raw power of the roaring forties. Or as the locals like to say: ‘Looks pretty sharky out there’.
Yes, there are sharks in South Australia, and the locals you’ll meet at servos and cafes know how to spin a cracking great white yarn. But explore the state’s coastline and you’ll be rewarded with feasts of fresh oysters, cliff-top art trails and deserted beaches where the only fins you’ll spy are dolphins chasing tuna and kingfish.
Start at September Beach in Lincoln National Park on the Eyre Peninsula. Eager campers can pitch a tent for next-to-nothing and wake up to a beach entirely devoid of footprints. If you’re lucky, you’ll see a curious Australian fur seal spying you from the shore.
Day trippers can walk the bush tracks studded with coastal wildflowers and scale Stamford Hill where members of the 19th-century Matthew Flinders voyage also climbed, looking for water to no avail. Keep an eye out for cheeky little lizards warming themselves under the dappled light of the eucalypts.
Follow the coast to Coffin Bay, where the weatherboard houses and modest cluster of shops may not feel connected to the glamorous high streets of Sydney and Melbourne, but the oysters harvested here are world class.
While the creamy, smooth morsels may set you back big dollars anywhere else, here in Coffin Bay you can saunter into one of the production sheds after a boat has arrived and buy a dozen, still dripping salt water, thrown directly into a plastic bag for a couple of dollars.
It’s surely the best ‘cellar door’ discount in all of Australia.
More South Australia holiday inspiration
Head to one of the picnic grounds overlooking the rows of oyster farms and practise your shucking skills. Any local wandering by will be happy to give you a pointer on how to twist and pop the huge oysters.
The further west you go, sandy bays give way to immense limestone cliffs towering above the shore. In Elliston, a sculptural art trail brings out the inherently surreal white headlands, scrubby shrubs and aquamarine water.
You’ll see an enormous pair of thongs, an evocative sculpture of bones and Easter Island-inspired heads as you make your way along the Great Ocean Tourist Drive and peer down into the churning cauldrons of coastline below.
Keep going west and you’ll see fields of grain and quaint towns filled with antique shops and wood-fired bakeries. Then, it’s the start of the Nullarbor Plain, home to Australia’s longest, straightest tree-less road. As you may imagine, there’s little to see here.
Take the opportunity to turn down one of the access tracks to the cliffs and get the solitary sense of truly standing at the bottom of Australia with no buildings, no people, no nothing.
The plain takes you to the last beaches in South Australia at Border Town where undulating chalky dunes lead to the remains of an old telegraph station and jetty. The dilapidated, Heritage-listed jetty seems like a fitting end to the surreal coastal road trip of South Australia.
This is the end of the road for this state’s beaches, and the start for Western Australia. Because here in Australia, there’s always another beach to explore.

Save the Date by Morgan Matson

Summer of Salt by Katrina Leno
City of Bastards (Royal Bastards #2) by Andrew Shvarts

Save the Date by Morgan Matson (June 5)
Charlie Grant’s older sister is getting married this weekend at their family home, and Charlie can’t wait—for the first time in years, all four of her older siblings will be under one roof. Charlie is desperate for one last perfect weekend, before the house is sold and everything changes. The house will be filled with jokes and games and laughs again. Making decisions about things like what college to attend and reuniting with longstanding crush Jesse Foster—all that can wait. She wants to focus on making the weekend perfect.
The only problem? The weekend is shaping up to be an absolute disaster.
There’s the unexpected dog with a penchant for howling, house alarm that won’t stop going off, and a papergirl with a grudge.
There are the relatives who aren’t speaking, the (awful) girl her favorite brother brought home unannounced, and a missing tuxedo.
Not to mention the neighbor who seems to be bent on sabotage and a storm that is bent on drenching everything. The justice of the peace is missing. The band will only play covers. The guests are all crazy. And the wedding planner’s nephew is unexpectedly, distractingly…cute.
Over the course of three ridiculously chaotic days, Charlie will learn more than she ever expected about the family she thought she knew by heart. And she’ll realize that sometimes, trying to keep everything like it was in the past means missing out on the future.
Okay, I keep saying I am not the person for romance novels. But I am a woman and do get very happy from weddings etc. I have heard Morgan Matson is a great writer and I am curious to finally try something by her.
Smoke in the Sun (Flame in the Mist #2) by Renee Ahdieh (June 5)
After Okami is captured in the Jukai forest, Mariko has no choice—to rescue him, she must return to Inako and face the dangers that have been waiting for her in the Heian Castle. She tricks her brother, Kenshin, and betrothed, Raiden, into thinking she was being held by the Black Clan against her will, playing the part of the dutiful bride-to-be to infiltrate the emperor’s ranks and uncover the truth behind the betrayal that almost left her dead.
With the wedding plans already underway, Mariko pretends to be consumed with her upcoming nuptials, all the while using her royal standing to peel back the layers of lies and deception surrounding the imperial court. But each secret she unfurls gives way to the next, ensnaring Mariko and Okami in a political scheme that threatens their honor, their love and very the safety of the empire.
Flame in the Mist is a great novel and I really want to read the sequel. There is not much to say about a sequel to a great read. Haha!
Summer of Salt by Katrina Leno (June 5)
A magic passed down through generations . . .
Georgina Fernweh waits with growing impatience for the tingle of magic in her fingers—magic that has been passed down through every woman in her family. Her twin sister, Mary, already shows an ability to defy gravity. But with their eighteenth birthday looming at the end of this summer, Georgina fears her gift will never come.
An island where strange things happen . . .
No one on the island of By-the-Sea would ever call the Fernwehs what they really are, but if you need the odd bit of help—say, a sleeping aid concocted by moonlight—they are the ones to ask.
No one questions the weather, as moody and erratic as a summer storm.
No one questions the (allegedly) three-hundred-year-old bird who comes to roost on the island every year.
A summer that will become legend . . .
When tragedy strikes, what made the Fernweh women special suddenly casts them in suspicion. Over the course of her last summer on the island—a summer of storms, of love, of salt—Georgina will learn the truth about magic, in all its many forms.
Even though the title doesn’t suggest it, this novel is said to contain magical realism and that is what pulls me towards this book. But also the mystery that alures in this synopsis is pulling me into it.
City of Bastards (Royal Bastards #2) by Andrew Shvarts (June 5)
Tilla, bastard of House Kent, has it made. Safe from her murderous father in the dazzling capital of Lightspire, she lives a life of luxury under the protection of the Volaris King, alongside her boyfriend Zell and best friend, Princess Lyriana.
So why isn’t she happy? Maybe it’s the whispers and stares that follow her wherever she goes, as the daughter of the traitor waging war against Lightspire. Or maybe it’s the memories of her beloved brother, Jax, who lies cold in his grave even as she tries to settle into a life in the city’s prestigious University.
Then, Tilla stumbles upon the body of a classmate, a friend. The authorities are quick to rule it a suicide and sweep it under the rug, but when Tilla herself is attacked by a mysterious man with terrifying powers, she’s convinced of a conspiracy. Her friends beg her to stay silent; what she’s suggesting is impossible… and treasonous.
But Tilla can’t, won’t, let it go. And the deeper she digs, the more questions she uncovers. How is the West beating the supposedly invincible Lightspire Mages in battle? Is it connected to the shadowy cult wreaking havoc in Lightspire? Nothing is as it seems in the glorious capital, and Tilla’s presence might just be the spark that sets the Kingdom aflame.
I still haven’t gotten to reading Royal Bastards but it is still on my tbr. I thinking the writing is witty and I am curious whether it lives up to what I think it is going to be.
Eden Conquered (Dividing Eden #2) by Joelle Charbonneau (June 5)
The Trials of Virtuous Succession have ended. Prince Andreus is king—and Princess Carys is dead.
But even as he’s haunted by what he did to win the throne, Andreus discovers that his dream of ruling only brings new problems. The people love his twin even more in death than they did when she was alive. The Elders treat him as a figurehead. And worst of all, the winds of Eden are faltering.
But despite what everyone believes, Carys is alive. Exiled to the wilderness, Carys struggles to control the powers that have broken free inside her. And as she grows stronger, so does her conviction that she must return to the Palace of Winds, face her twin and root out the treachery that began long before the first Trials started.
The Kingdom of Eden is growing darker with each passing day. Brother and sister, former foes, must decide whether some betrayals cut too deep to be forgiven—and whether one will wear the crown or both will lose everything.
I said I didn’t like Dividing Eden. And I still don’t! But I am curious how this series will end and so I am putting it on this list.
A Reaper at the Gates (Ember Quartet #3) by Sabaa Tahir (June 12)
Beyond the Empire and within it, the threat of war looms ever larger.
The Blood Shrike, Helene Aquilla, is assailed on all sides. Emperor Marcus, haunted by his past, grows increasingly unstable, while the Commandant capitalizes on his madness to bolster her own power. As Helene searches for a way to hold back the approaching darkness, her sister’s life and the lives of all those in the Empire hang in the balance.
Far to the east, Laia of Serra knows the fate of the world lies not in the machinations of the Martial court, but in stopping the Nightbringer. But while hunting for a way to bring him down, Laia faces unexpected threats from those she hoped would aid her, and is drawn into a battle she never thought she’d have to fight.
And in the land between the living and the dead, Elias Veturius has given up his freedom to serve as Soul Catcher. But in doing so, he has vowed himself to an ancient power that will stop at nothing to ensure Elias’s devotion–even at the cost of his humanity.
I loved the first two novels in this series I want to read the rest of this series, not next year and not tomorrow. I want it now, both of the books!
My Plain Jane by Cynthia Hand, Jodi Meadows and Brodi Ashton (June 26)
You may think you know the story. After a miserable childhood, penniless orphan Jane Eyre embarks on a new life as a governess at Thornfield Hall. There, she meets one dark, brooding Mr. Rochester. Despite their significant age gap (!) and his uneven temper (!!), they fall in love—and, Reader, she marries him. (!!!)
Or does she?
Prepare for an adventure of Gothic proportions, in which all is not as it seems, a certain gentleman is hiding more than skeletons in his closets, and one orphan Jane Eyre, aspiring author Charlotte Brontë, and supernatural investigator Alexander Blackwood are about to be drawn together on the most epic ghost hunt this side of Wuthering Heights.
I still haven’t read My Lady Jane, but I have read books all the authors and knowing that I liked them seperately I think it is very likely I will like these books too.
Let me know what you thought of these books!

OK guys ... the folks over at Marx Foods are at it again. Or should I say the folks over at Marx Foods have ME at it again? This time around, it was a chocolate challenge. They sent all of the participants a variety of items to use in conjunction with chocolate. At least one item needed to be included, and the recipe could be something sweet or savory. The ingredients we were sent to choose from were:
- Fennel Pollen (one of my favorites)
- Dried Chilies - adobo and puya
- Coconut Sugar
- Granulated Candy Cap Mushrooms
- Vanilla Beans
I opted to use the Fennel Pollen, Puya Chilies, Coconut Sugar, and Vanilla Beans in my recipe. My first thought was to try a mole sauce since I have yet to do that, but I have so much going on this week, I was concerned about time. Then I thought about French Toast or Crepes, but finally settled on the Bread Pudding. I have never made a chocolate bread before, but I'll certainly be making it again! I was very surprised by the texture. It had that slight chewy pull of a bread, but a velvety mouth feel because of the chocolate.
This recipe may be as time consuming as a mole, but I haven't read up on that yet to know what is involved, and at least while my dough was rising, I could be doing other things ... like baking an Egg Nog Kadayif, making Tabouli, and tackling some of the clean-up from last night's big Sukiyaki birthday dinner. I'm not a Sushi kinda gal. I do love Tempura, but Sukiyaki is my absolute favorite! Lucky for me, everyone else loves it too! Even luckier that my nephew requested it for his birthday.
Wanting to use as many of the ingredients as I could, I was thinking about whipping the fennel pollen with some cream, but I decided the whipped cream might be too much with the sauce, so I instead infused the fennel pollen into a little powdered sugar and dusted the top. That stuff is like GOLD, so I cried a little when I did that - wanting to savor the fennel pollen for as long as possible. ;)
CHOCOLATE BREAD :
1 T yeast
1 T coconut sugar
3/4 c tepid milk
4 T butter4 oz bar Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate
2 1/4 c bread flour
2 t instant espresso powder
5 T coconut sugar
1/4 c Ghirardelli unsweetened cocoa powder
1 vanilla bean
1 t sea salt
In the bowl of your stand mixer, sprinkle the yeast. To the yeast, add the 1T of coconut sugar, along with the warm milk. Let that bloom for about 5", until it gets nice and bubbly.
In the meantime, break up the bar of chocolate and set that over a double boiler with the 4T of butter to melt. If you don't have a double boiler, just find a bowl that fits over a small pot and fill the pot with water, but not quite touching the bowl.
In a separate bowl, stir together the bread flour, espresso powder, remaining 5T coconut sugar, and cocoa powder. Make sure you're keeping an eye on your chocolate.
Split open the vanilla bean and scrape out the seeds. So you don't waste the rest of the pod, you can either add it to an existing bottle of vanilla for a little boost, or pour some sugar in a covered container, add the bean and give it a shake every now and again so you end up with a vanilla sugar.
Remove your melted chocolate from the heat and let that sit for a few minutes so you don't end up cooking your egg with it.
Lightly beat the egg, vanilla bean, and sea salt into the yeast mixture, then add half the flour mixture, followed by streaming in half the chocolate, and repeat. I used the dough hook, but I think the dough was loose enough that the regular whip attachment should work just fine. Let it run for about 5" until smooth and elastic.
Lightly spray a bowl with cooking spray, or brush with oil, scoop in the dough, turning to coat, then set in a warm place for 1.5' to raise.
Spray an 8" round cake pan with PAM Baking, then knead the dough a few times, lightly pat it into the pan, and let it raise again for 45" to 1'. FYI - I got a really nice rise the first time, but not as much the second time around.
Bake at 350 for 35-40".
I was thinking that when it baked, it would bubble up like a peasant loaf, but it stayed pretty flat. Look at that nice crumb though. I baked the loaf yesterday and let it sit out to dry some so I could make the bread pudding with it today.
BREAD PUDDING :
I loaf chocolate bread - cubed
1/3 c coconut sugar
2 c milk
2 t vanilla
To put together the bread pudding, I followed my usual recipe in that I soaked the cubes in the milk, then added the remaining ingredients. Now, having worked with the chocolate bread, the next time I make this, I'll do it differently, because it kinda turned to mush! The bread was too delicate to be tossed with the egg mixture, soooo ...
Butter an 11 3/4" x 7 1/2" baking dish, and nestle in the cubed bread. Beat together the sugar, milk, eggs, and vanilla, and pour evenly over the bread. Let that sit for at least an hour to soak up the liquid.
Set that pan inside a larger pan, and fill the larger pan with hot water to create a water bath. Bake at 350 for 35-40" until set. If you aren't able to remove the smaller pan from the larger pan to get it out of the hot water, try holding the two pans over the sink and tilting to one corner to pour out the water first. If you're not comfortable doing it that way, here's a chance to bust out the turkey baster!
While you're waiting for the bread pudding to cool a little, go ahead and make your raspberry sauce.
RASPBERRY SAUCE :
12 oz bag frozen (unsweetened) raspberries - thawed
1/3 c sugar
2 t lemon juice
1 vanilla bean
2 puya chile peppers
1 T cornstarch
2 T water
Fill a bowl with very hot water and drop in the chile peppers, covering them if necessary to keep them from popping out. Let them steep until soft, then squeeze out the water, slice them open and scrape the flesh off the skin. Depending on how much heat you like will determine whether you leave the seeds with the flesh. I'll be serving this at an office pot luck tomorrow, and probably not everyone likes it hot, so I removed most of the seeds.
Split open the vanilla bean and scrape out the seeds, adding the pod to whatever you did with the first one - I hate to waste those!!
In a small pot, cook the raspberries with the sugar, the flesh from the chilies, and the vanilla bean until nicely broken down and soupy. If you don't have any vanilla beans and are planning to use extract, I would add it at the end rather than cooking it with the raspberries. I was originally planning on leaving the seeds, but when I saw just how many there were, I changed my mind! Pour the raspberry mixture over a strainer into a bowl or large measuring cup.
While the raspberry mixture is draining, stir together the cornstarch and water to form a slurry.
Pour the strained raspberry mixture back into the pot and return it to the heat. Stir in the lemon juice while it's coming back up to temp, then add the slurry and let it come to a boil for a minute or so to thicken - stirring constantly so it doesn't bubble over or scorch.
To serve, spoon a little of the raspberry sauce onto the plate to form a pool, place the bread pudding over the sauce, then lightly sprinkle the fennel pollen infused powdered sugar over the top.
As usual, a BIG thanks to everyone at Marx Foods for the samples!
The polls are open until Thursday (12/22/2011) - click here to vote for your favorite.

Even a casual reading of Irish history will leave you with the understanding that the Irish know how to protest in attention-grabbing ways. And these island-spanning pro-choice activists are no exception. To draw attention to the fact that abortion is largely illegal in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, activists will fly a drone across the border between the two countries carrying an abortifacient drug called Mifepristone.
The protest will begin on June 21 at 10 a.m. local time with Irish activists launching the drone from Omeath, Ireland. The device will fly across the Newry River, which forms a border with Northern Ireland, before landing at Narrow Water in the UK. Northern Irish activists will then take the drug to showcase how safe it is (it should be noted that none of the demonstrators are pregnant).
The protest is a collaborative effort between several reproductive rights campaigns in both countries, including Alliance for Choice, Women on Waves, Labour Alternative and Rosa. It’s easily the coolest use of drones in Ireland since this kid got his tooth yanked out by a quadcopter.
“It is an all-island act of solidarity between women in the north and the south to highlight the violation of human rights caused by the existing laws that criminalize abortion in both the north and south of Ireland except in very limited circumstances,” Rosa said in a statement.
Currently, abortion is illegal in both countries. Women in Northern Ireland can face life in prison if they so much as buy any of the medicines used in abortion procedures. Meanwhile, Irish women are allowed to have abortions in extreme circumstances — for example, when the mother’s life is in danger. Otherwise, it’s a criminal offense.

Ok, this is my first blog. As a luddite, it has taken awhile for me to enter the 21st century, but here I am.
I was thinking today about what makes an interesting room. I am not an interior designer so there may be specific and well-known criteria for interior design- I don’t know, but I think that one has to allow for subjectivity and personal taste. My partner likes things modern and sleek with glass and steel and crisp edges, I don’t. To me that kind of aesthetic makes me feel like I might hurt myself. Everyone is different, and thank goodness for that! Given what I do, I don’t encounter a lot of ultra modern homes in my work. People who hire me tend towards a more traditional, rustic or classic look. So, thinking back to all of the homes I have been in throughout my painting career, the kitchens that stand out have had a very personal touch and have reflected the people who live there. Even when using restrained pallets they have employed colour well, many of them have been eclectic and have used texture and rhythm.
As a visual person, I like to look at pictures. A lot of ideas come from seeing how other people have put together rooms. There is an American Interior design website that someone brought to my attention about a month ago:
This has loads of photos of beautiful rooms and plenty of ideas for every kind of taste.

Creeping malignantly into our consciousness, keeping us awake at night with dreams of vengeful ghosts, crazed killers and inescapable supernatural terror, horror films and fiction continue to entrance audiences around the world. From the unnerving tales of the Brothers Grimm to the nail-biting films of Hitchcock and the mind-bending novels of Stephen King, scary stories have always had a peculiar hold on us.
Come with us as we journey to the chilling edge of myths and fables and fire up the shadowy depths of our imagination to examine whether there is more to our liking for a scary tale than meets the eye. Is there something about seeing horror on the page and screen that helps us to confront the very real fears that we all face in everyday life? Or are we simply biologically programmed to enjoy the rush?
Join chair, Anne C Perry, and authors, Kirsty Logan, Leah Moore and Peadar Ó Guilín, for a thrilling exploration into the human psyche and the frightening allure of the horror genre.

Abstract—A node ranking scheme provides the necessary structural view for developing algorithms on a network. We present two ranking schemes for the star interconnection network both of which allow constant time order preserving communication. The first scheme is based on a hierarchical view of the star network. It enables one to efficiently implement order preserving ASCEND/DESCEND class of algorithms. This class includes several important algorithms such as the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and matrix multiplication. The other ranking scheme gives a flexible pipelined view of the star interconnection network and provides a suitable framework for implementation of pipelined algorithms.

There are around 500 platforms on the Internet allowing to trade digital assets. However, not all of them deserve trust. Experienced investors know that the safest place to buy crypto is to choose a platform that complies with the requirements of AML and KYC.
We have to appreciate the importance of optimizing cryptocurrency exchanges to help make them more ethical. The two most important things we can do in this regard involve reducing the carbon footprint of cryptocurrencies (which involves investing in the most sustainable cryptocurrencies) and helping fight criminal activity tied to cryptocurrency networks.
Sustainability is Becoming a Primary Concern for Cryptocurrency Exchanges
Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ethereum are criticized for their environmental impact. Bitcoin mining alone uses enough electricity to boil water for all UK tea drinkers for 30 years. However, efforts are being made to create eco-friendly alternatives.
Renewable energy, energy-efficient protocols, and carbon footprint offsetting are some of the initiatives being explored. TRG Datacenters predicts the emergence of sustainable cryptocurrencies and changes in existing practices. Nano, IOTA, and chia are leading the way in reducing the environmental impact of transactions.
One of the ways that we can make the cryptocurrency industry more sustainable is by encouraging people to invest in eco-friendly cryptocurrencies. Since bitcoin is not known for sustainability, its collapse has helped lift up more sustainable digital coins.
Of course, there are also ways to make bitcoin more eco-friendly as well. Other options to make bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that are not known for being environmentally friendly more sustainable is to rely on recycled energy or wasted energy.
Experts from EZ Blockchain point out that bitcoin can be used as a store of value for renewable energy. It converts local solar and wind power into a globally traded digital asset with unlimited shelf life. Bitcoin mining can be made more sustainable by using wasted energy such as flared gas. This way, Bitcoin acts as a recycler and uses otherwise wasted energy to mine new tokens. Cryptocurrency becomes more sustainable by acting as either a recycler or a battery.
Use New Technology to Help Reduce The Risk of Crime with Cryptocurrencies
Another concern with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is that they are frequently used to commit crimes. Therefore, crypto exchange managers that want to make sure they are used ethically should find ways to reduce the risk of fraud, money laundering and other forms of criminal activity.
The risk of criminals using cryptocurrencies is often exagerated, but it is still a serious risk nonetheless. Illicit activity in cryptocurrency is a small, but increasing, portion of overall activity. In 2022, around 0.24% of all cryptocurrency transactions were linked to illicit activity. This is a rise from 0.12% in 2021, as reported by Chainalysis.
The good news is that there are steps that we can take steps to fight crime on cryptocurrency exchanges. This can help make the industry more ethical.
Looking for the safest crypto exchange you should always check out if a platform complies with AML requirements. AML stands for “anti-money laundering” – a legal and regulatory system that helps detect and prevent money laundering activities. This system ensures that assets are not used to facilitate illegal financial transactions. AML is essential for crypto exchanges. Let’s see how it works for safeguarding investments.
The Role of AML
Read the following aspects where AML turns out to be a key factor:
- Mitigating money laundering risks. Money launderers find crypto assets appealing because they offer anonymity, ease of access worldwide, and quick cross-border transfers. AML regulations assist crypto exchanges in implementing effective measures to reduce the risks of money laundering. Adhering to AML guidelines, exchanges can avoid their platforms being utilized for unlawful activities.
- Regulatory compliance. Exchanges are being regulated by financial regulators to prevent financial crimes. By enforcing AML regulations, exchanges must follow laws, regulations, and reporting requirements. Compliance promotes trust in the industry, encourages the lawful use of cryptos, and discourages criminal behavior.
- Transaction monitoring. Crypto exchanges must comply with AML regulations by using transaction monitoring systems that analyze patterns, volumes, and characteristics of transactions to detect suspicious activities. This includes identifying unusual or large transactions, frequent transfers, and transactions involving high-risk jurisdictions.
- Reporting suspicious activities. Exchanges are required by AML regulations to inform the authorities of any suspicious activities. This involves submitting reports such as Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) or Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) whenever transactions or customer behavior seem weird. When exchanges report such activities promptly, it helps in the overall efforts to fight financial crimes such as money laundering.
- Reputation and trust. To attract users and gain the trust of customers and regulators, exchanges need to maintain a good image. By putting in place strong AML measures, the exchange can show its commitment to compliance and become a secure and reliable platform. This builds trust in the crypto industry overall and enhances its credibility.
To safeguard against money laundering risks, AML measures are crucial for crypto exchanges. By complying with AML regulations, exchanges can prevent illicit activities, abide by applicable laws, and help maintain the credibility and trustworthiness of the crypto ecosystem. We recommend a secure crypto exchange that complies with regulations and operates officially – WhiteBIT. Visit its official website and read the documentation to make sure about that.
We Need to Focus on Making the Cryptocurrency Industry More Ethical
There are a couple of major ethical considerations that we have to focus on when dealing with cryptocurrency exchanges. We need to make sure that digital coins can be eco-friendlier and take steps to fight fraud. The solutions listed above can go a long way towards helping us reach these goals.

As electrologists, it is essential for us to understand sight and how vision problems may impact both us and the patients we serve. Basic knowledge about the effects of aging on our vision and the importance of proper lighting will help us provide quality treatment.
The practice of electrolysis will not harm our eyesight; however, vision does decline with age. This does not mean you cannot study to become an electrologist if you are over 40, nor does it mean you will have to give up your electrology practice at the age of 65.
As we age, our vision changes in a variety of unique and unexpected ways. The most basic problem that occurs is the loss of visual acuity-the ability to discern detail. The practice of electrolysis demands that we be able to distinguish the various types of hair and epidermis.
If an electrologist cannot see the treatment area clearly, then the following factors should be considered:
- Do you need a stronger magnifier?
- Are glasses needed for close work or reading?
- Do you need new eyeglass lenses?
- Do you need a brighter light?
A Classic Sense
Vision is one of the most highly valued of the human senses. Light from surrounding objects is translated into electrical impulses that travel through the nerves to the brain where they are transformed into the shapes, colors, textures, and movements that make up our visual world.
We rely on the power of sight to help us distinguish the shape and structure of the hair. Is it straight, curly, or kinky? We examine the color or pigment in the hair. We determine the texture or diameter of the hair. In this way, we can judge the size of the needle/probe. And we look at the movement or angle of the hair for proper insertion. For electrologists, this becomes our private, visual world in which we must make important decisions in order to achieve the results we promise – permanent hair removal.
Physiology of the Eye
Light passes first through the eye's cornea, pupil, and lens, striking the retina at the back of the eye. There, it is filtered through several layers of retinal cells before hitting the receptor cells (rods and cones).
Rods and cones convert light into electrical impulses. These impulses are then transmitted through the ganglion cells that make up the optic nerve and on to the brain.
If we were to trace the path of each optic nerve to the brain, we would find that the area of the retina through which the optic nerve leaves the eye contains no receptor cells. This area is aptly called the "blind spot."
So, why don't we see holes in our visual field? One reason is that the blind spot in each eye is off center and one eye can usually see what the other does not. Another reason is that the eyes are constantly moving and the brain fills in visual information that may be missing.
Pathways to the Brain
Our optic nerve fibers have several trails through the brain. The most important trail is the one leading to the thalamus which serves as a relay station. From the thalamus, the nerve network extends to the visual cortex at the back of the brain. At this point, the nerve impulses are instructed to give rise to the visual sensations we call sight.
Light Becomes Sight
Cones and rods are two of the most interesting parts of our visual network. Cones dominate our daytime vision and are the primary mechanism for color vision. Rods, on the other hand, help us see at night or in very dim light. We see little color by moonlight because there is not enough light to stimulate the cones. But we can see shades of light and dark because moonlight is adequate to stimulate the rods. In fact, a rod is capable of responding to just a single photon of light.
Cones vs. Rods
There are about five million cones found in each human retina. Many of these cones are packed into an area at the center of the retina known as the fovea. This "pit like" depression contains thousands of cones, yet no rods at all. The fovea provides our most detailed vision.
In contrast to cones, rods are situated on either side of the fovea. Since these regions have few cones, they tend to be very sensitive to color. Shapes and contours appear less distinct when looked at with rods. This is why objects at night appear ill-defined. We are seeing the objects with our rods.
The Color Red
All photoreceptors, whether rods or cones, change light into electrical signals by means of chemical reactions. These reactions involve light-sensitive pigments. The pigments contained in rods is called rhodopsin, and is a rich red color.
When light penetrates a rod, it depletes the rhodopsin, sending a signal to the brain. Since light breaks down rhodopsin, this pigment must be continually replenished to keep the rods functioning. This is why we have problems seeing when we enter a dark room from bright sunlight. The rhodopsin has not had a chance to replenish itself.
Although our rods slowly become sensitive to dim light, some people have difficulty adapting to the dark. This condition is called "night blindness" and is caused by several factors. The most common factor is the body's incapacity to use or store vitamin A, which is necessary for rhodopsin production. For this reason, vitamin A is often prescribed for night blindness.
Major Senescent Changes
The two most frequent senescent changes are reduced visual acuity and prebyopia (the inability to focus on nearby objects). Other vision problems associated with aging include:
·the inability to see well in dim light
·the inability to distinguish colors in the blue-green range
·glare becomes increasingly bothersome
·difficulty in shifting focus quickly
·the narrowing of peripheral vision
These changes are caused by deterioration of the eye's structure and the rest of the visual system.
Aging causes the cornea (white outer portion) to thicken and flatten out which effects visual acuity and focus. Another problem can be a build up of fluid pressure within the eyeball, which can permanently damage the retina and optic nerve. This pressure build-up is often associated with glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. Glaucoma is the "sneak thief of vision" because it seldom gives us early warnings. If caught early enough, glaucoma can be treated with special eye drops, medication, laser, or surgery. It is extremely important to be tested regularly in middle age and later life.
As we age, the muscles in the iris lose their elasticity and cannot open the pupil wide enough in the dark to allow sufficient light to enter through the pupil. As we age, we need 70 percent more light in order to see well.
My interests and research into how our vision works stems from my experience as an electrology teacher. I have encountered many students suffering from vision problems. In addition, I have received requests from practicing electrologists for information on the visual problems we encounter in our profession. I have concluded that if the student/electrologist has had a recent eye exam and is still experiencing vision problems, then it is imperative to search for an answer in the electrolysis treatment room.
Before investing in expensive equipment that may limit your field of view, try a bright work light and be alert that you may not be working within the full focus of your lighting equipment. Be careful not to shadow the area you are treating by positioning your body incorrectly. I have had a 99.9 percent success rate in helping others overcome vision problems simply by recommending a brighter light.

To transform production and deliver greater value to customers during the global pandemic and beyond, manufacturers continue to apply proven techniques and implement advanced
technologies on the shop floor. From lean manufacturing for reduced waste and improved efficiencies to using high-performance robots for enhanced quality and increased throughput, there are multiple tools being used to optimize operations. The concept of retrofitting current production layouts via robotic tools – both new robots, as well as repurposing those that already exist on the shop floor – has taken on greater popularity over the last year.
From welding to coating and press tending to parcel sortation, a wide range of tasks are prime targets where retrofitting is concerned. Market demands constantly change production and fabrication requirements, making it vital for manufacturers to have the flexibility to adapt when pressed. While it is ideal to design an application around robotic automation, most tasks today are augmented with robots years after manual operations have been in place – as building fully automated facilities can be expensive and time-consuming.
The good news is that robot suppliers are savvy to manufacturing needs, creating options to enhance operations and subsequent product quality on a regular basis.
When thinking about a production upgrade there are many avenues decision makers can take to rework existing workspaces and potentially reuse current equipment. There are a few locations on the shop floor where adding robotic technologies can prove to make a difference.
Machine cells. Highly repeatable, the integration of high-performance robots that can expertly orient and transport parts for machine tending is gaining traction. Whether it is loading and unloading a CNC machine, or another piece of equipment for grinding, stamping or trimming, the use of robotic automation can minimize human error, increase worker safety, optimize system utilization and facilitate greater efficiency.
Weld booths. Whether driven by takt time, lean manufacturing initiatives or something else, manufacturers may benefit from the addition of robots to a current production space. Modernizing a current weld booth via a single robot arm (or more) can be very effective at optimizing floorspace and increasing throughput. For example, if a manufacturer has a single robot workcell with a cycle time of 10 min., adding a second robot may reduce the cycle time per part in half while not increasing the footprint of the workcell.
Regardless of the workspace size, the right robot with the proper safety precautions (i.e., ventilation, safety fencing, arc flash protection) can be a huge asset. A streamlined robot with a contoured arm is ideal for reaching into tight spaces or workpieces in high-density layouts, and a long-reach arm model is well-suited for improving weld accessibility on large weldments.
Paint booths. Manufacturers that address existing painting, coating and dispensing issues via robotic automation often see tangible benefits. More consistent finishes, greater system uptime, increased production speeds, reduced material waste, valuable floorspace usage and, most importantly, improved worker safety, are all possible outcomes from retrofitting current paint booths with industrial robots.
High-performance models with hollow-wrist designs and wide motion ranges can accommodate large or complex shapes, while more scalable solutions are optimized to address the painting of smaller components. These robots are designed to meet all applicable paint room requirements, and a variety of application enhancements, such as rotary feeders, explosion-proof motors and spray gun options, help facilitate greater finish quality and product throughput.
Press operation. Often chosen because of its robust return on investment (ROI), adding modern day press transfer robots and control systems to current operations can optimize throughput while maximizing safety and profit. Whether making automotive, appliance or agricultural components, and regardless of the size or style (hydraulic or servo driven) of the press, robotic automation is an ideal option for this highly demanding, potentially dangerous and repetitive task.
Furthermore, a robot’s accurate ability to release a part anywhere from 0.5 in. to 1 in. above the die – assuming the die is constructed so that the part can nest itself in the die – is highly advantageous to cycle time.
Heavy payload industrial robots with heavy-duty drive systems and higher vibration rantings are suggested for pressroom applications. Various options such as floor-, shelf- and invert-mount options, as well as rail tracks, may also be helpful.
Logistics tasks. A growing number of advanced technologies are making it easier to configure, program and integrate ideal solutions that tackle high-volume monotonous, backbreaking tasks. This is especially true for parcel sortation, piece-picking, case packing or palletizing. Aside from highly versatile and easy-to-program robots, most components in a packaging line are easily manageable via standard programming environments that eliminate the need for proprietary programming languages.
Operators can now easily oversee robots and their surrounding components through motion control platforms or programmable logic controllers, easing robot setup through simplified communications, increasing production via singular control and empowering manufacturers to tackle dynamic packaging needs that their distributors, retailers and consumers often have.
Other unique tools for dynamic factory and distribution environments, such as highly flexible autonomous mobile robots equipped with LiDAR sensors, are growing in popularity to meet various production needs. These robotic platforms equipped with robots, vision systems, custom end-of-arm tooling and more, maneuver autonomously through a facility to perform assigned tasks in an efficient and safe manner, completing jobs like picking, sorting and on-demand material transport.
Not to be underestimated is the strong influence that extremely efficient and portable collaborative robots (cobots) with industrial pedigrees are having on shop floors and throughout the
supply chain. Easily dropped into existing lines or workcells, cobots with built-in safety-rated power and force limiting sensing, as well as pinchless designs with smooth surfaces, do not necessarily need external safeguarding. As a result, hyper-productive floor layouts are being achieved.
Along with this, lighter weight designs reduce the need for sophisticated robot mounting, making cobots ideal for mounting on extruded aluminum structures in existing facilities. Combine lead-to-teach features that make many cobots easy to program with a trifecta of programming options, and game-changing production is within reach. Decision makers looking to add cobots to the shop floor should also consider integration in the following areas.
Welding. Recent advancements for extremely efficient welding cobots are quickly making them the “go to” for supplemental welding tasks where space is tight and capacity needs a boost. Thye bring highly relevant applications to fruition for high-mix, low-volume production runs. Intuitive software, such as the Universal Weldcom Interface, helps operators set all weld parameters and their special features directly from a teach pendant when needed, and I/O jogging from a momentary command device wired to the robot controller can also provide a quick, intuitive way to update things like torch angle and tooling coordinates.
Newer cobots offer options like an IP67 protection rating to guard against weld spatter or chemicals. No extra protection or “jacket” is required, and the easy-to-clean surface is well-suited for harsh environments. A growing number of manufacturers that have already taken advantage of these flexible machines with easy programming options and intelligent features are using them in various settings, including weld booths for large, heavy workpieces where arc flash protection is already in place.
Inspection. To reduce scrap, maximize good parts and optimize overall equipment effectiveness, flexible robot models, including cobots, are being integrated into workcells to ensure surface quality, weld integrity or part geometry. Offering capability and consistency that humans and coordinated measuring machines cannot, the combined use of cobots and intelligent peripherals like advanced vision systems, robust power supplies, intuitive sound analytics, weld inspection systems and more can provide a wealth of data for making informed production decisions.
When synchronized via the same device management platform, like Yaskawa Cockpit, equipment is meticulously monitored and data is delivered in real time, allowing deeper insights for things like accurate weld quality. Whether it is used for an in-house part, or implemented to check the caliber of parts being brought in from another part of the supply chain, the use of cobots in conjunction with this type of multiple data source connectivity has the ability to positively impact operations.
Cutting. One of the growing uses for cobots is plasma cutting complex cuts on 3-D shapes and large structures. Traditional plasma cutting tables are limited to the X and Y axis for flat part cuts, with limited bevel cut ability. The six axes provided by a robot arm allow unlimited possibilities for cutting holes in multi-dimensional operations, such as cutting pipe, domes and tubular parts.
Because many of these cuts are low volume for high-deposition welding prep, a cobot provides minimum setup and teaching time with intuitive hand guiding. Manufacturers can repeat the same cut as many times as needed, and reteaching for a new cut takes very little time. Robots used for this task also provide higher quality and consistency compared to hand cutting.
Other popular tasks for cobots include machine tending and palletizing. Regarding the latter, higher payload cobots, like the 20-kg payload capacity HC20XP, are capable of reaching full 80-in. pallets without an elevator, making them extremely versatile for spaces where robots need to work in close placement to humans.
It is recommended to have a reputable robot supplier or integrator perform an on-site retrofit consult, assessing possible risks and providing valuable insights about a specific application or process. From robot options to tooling must-haves and safety features to programming tools, there are multiple concepts to consider. Even with retrofitting, ANSI safety standards should be followed and are paramount to any upgrade.
Another idea for manufacturers to consider is the concept of utilizing certified pre-owned robots. A growing trend for small job shops and medium-size manufacturers, retrofitting is often a more affordable and faster option, accelerating ROI. Regardless of the strategic plan, overall budget and chosen equipment, implementing “new to you” robotic technologies or repurposing existing ones can help maintain a competitive advantage for years to come.

A combination of lime zest and curry leaves (if you can get curry leaves.) Alternatively, just lime zest will do in a pinch. Depending on the dish, lemongrass may also work.
QueenSashy is a trusted home cook.
Agree with Bold Vegan, I also used lime zest.
Depends on how important the correct flavor is to to you. If you are making, for example, a Thai curry, the flavor will not be right with kaffir lime leaves or some kaffir lime zest. I have to disagree with the lime zest suggestion. It does not taste the same at all.

The Final Countdown
Picked up on the way out the door of the most recent edition of the DC Record Fair when VVer #2 jokingly coerced VVer #1 into buying it for the 80's box (to be explained in a later post...stay tuned). "Come on ... it's got "The Final Countdown" on it! One listen and get rid of it. Plus just look at that cover! For crying out loud, it's embossed!" ... Bwahahaha. Sucker.
Should the VVers not waste their time writing about any of the music on this one? Should you not waste your time reading this? Enough with the doubting! It really is easy to be won over by Europe and their antics once you take the plunge. No surprises here; plenty of synths, fade-outs, and power ballads to match with their elegantly styled poufy coifs. You get the gist. Many "whoas" and "whoa-os" lace the upbeat tunes. It is so much more than just the title track! (kidding. maybe.) Winding down the first side of this album is "Ninja" which might just be made for a little-known, crap-tastic movie from the 80s Miami Connection, which the VVers saw this summer at local theater, AFI Silver. Curious? Here's the plot:
A gang of motorcycle ninjas wreaking havoc across Orlando, Florida, Mark (writer/director and Tae Kwan Do master Y. K. Kim) and his rock band Dragon Sound decide to fight back. Roundhouse-kicking their way to justice, the band still finds time to chase beach bunnies and perform their hit song, "Against the Ninja."
Yes, it is ridiculous as it seems. And you should watch it. Kind of like listening to The Final Countdown on purpose.
Back to this masterpiece of an album... Most of side A, including the slow ballad "Carrie," are well put together. It's a good listen. Things go off the rails on side B where it seems the band throws everything at the wall with reckless abandon. It hurts the ears. Apparently one can only withstand a single side of the album before having a meltdown. On a completely other week VVer #1 took the plunge into side B with some less pain inducing results. First song "Cherokee" recalls the trail of tears and the plight of the American Indian, all set to the fist pumping rock of the 80's that Europe so effortlessly delivers to your spleen Tis' mighty indeed. "Hey VVer #1, I thought this blog was about this goofy album we own and we weren't actually going to write about the music!" [Apparently VVer #1 actually listened to the lyrics]. The remainder of the side is tolerable if you can manage it. Final song "Love Chaser" is heavy and heavily dull. The thunderous blare of lead guitar rockets in every which way proving that somebody at least plugged the thing in and went through the trouble of tuning it. Still, there are more than a few moments of well intentioned riffage that remind us of Queen. A good influence for a band that really lacks Freddie Mercury and could probably use a ton of Brian May.
So why write about this album? As we have previously noted, we have a little, yappy dog that lives next door, that, whenever the neighbors leave, cries endlessly, which in turn, causes the VVer household to crank some music. Upon playing The Final Countdown on a recent spin, the realization came, "Shhh! I think it put Fluffy to sleep!" Total silence... excellent. It must remain in our collection now... Bwahahahaa.

Dirt-cheap magnesium supplement improves sleep
The cheapest magnesium supplements contain magnesium oxide, which the body does not absorb well. They cost next to nothing at a drugstore, yet they can improve the quality of your sleep – and they don't cause side effects. Researchers at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Teheran, Iran discovered this when they did an experiment on insomniac over-60s.
Sleep is an important factor in our health, but the older you get the more the quality of sleep declines. This might be, the Iranians write in the Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, because the amount of magnesium available to the body decreases with age. This is a result of osteoporosis – bones are the main store of magnesium in the human body – but also because the body's uptake of magnesium declines.
If this theory holds water, then over-60s with a sleep problem could benefit from magnesium supplementation. So the Iranian researchers gave two dozen subjects, average age 65, who complained of sleeplessness, two pills containing 250 mg magnesium in the form of magnesium oxide twice a day for eight weeks. An equal-sized control group took a placebo.
The subjects' diet provided less than the amount of magnesium recommended by nutritionists. This is normal in countries where modern food industry determines food consumption. Foods containing magnesium include wholegrain products, nuts, fruit, dark chocolate, leafy green vegetables such as spinach, soya, dairy products and meat, and foods that have not been highly processed.
Supplementation resulted in the subjects lying awake for less time [their sleep time was half an hour longer], and they also fell asleep a little faster [their sleep onset latency was 12 minutes shorter].
Magnesium supplementation improved the subjects' Sleep efficiency. In addition, the subjects that had been given magnesium complained less of sleeplessness after eight weeks. Their Insomnia severity index was lower.
More magnesium needed?
So while magnesium supplements didn't solve the subjects' sleeplessness, they did help reduce the problem.
If the researchers had given their subjects magnesium for a longer period of time, or used higher doses, or given them a more easily absorbable form of magnesium, they might have obtained better results. The table below suggests this. It shows that the magnesium level rose by a meagre 4 percent in the subjects that had received magnesium.
So what would have been the effect on sleep quality if the magnesium level had risen not by 4, but by 8 percent? Or by 12 percent? Or...

There has been a great deal of excitement in the last ten years over the emer- gence of new mathematical techniques for the analysis and control of nonlinear systems: Witness the emergence of a set of simplified tools for the analysis of bifurcations, chaos, and other complicated dynamical behavior and the develop- ment of a comprehensive theory of geometric nonlinear control. Coupled with this set of analytic advances has been the vast increase in computational power available for both the simulation and visualization of nonlinear systems as well as for the implementation in real time of sophisticated, real-time nonlinear control laws. Thus, technological advances havebolstered the impact of analytic advances and produced a tremendous variety of new problems and applications that are nonlinear in an essential way. Nonlinear controllaws have been implemented for sophisticated flight control systems on board helicopters, and vertical take offand landing aircraft; adaptive, nonlinearcontrollaws havebeen implementedfor robot manipulators operating either singly, or in cooperation on a multi-fingered robot hand; adaptive control laws have been implemented forjetengines andautomotive fuel injection systems, as well as for automated highway systems and air traffic management systems, to mention a few examples. Bifurcation theory has been used to explain and understand the onset of fiutterin the dynamics of aircraft wing structures, the onset of oscillations in nonlinear circuits, surge and stall in aircraft engines, voltage collapse in a power transmission network.

President Barack Obama is warning critics of his vast financial overhaul plan that he has no patience for debate from hard-line defenders of a system that has exploited bewildered consumers. Pushing for a law this year, Obama said: "While I’m not spoiling for a fight, I’m ready for one."
Obama used his weekly radio and Internet address on Saturday to defend a proposal, unveiled last week, that would impose and enforce new rules for the nation’s embattled financial system. The goal is to prevent a repeat of the breakdown that has sent the U.S. economy reeling, but such a complex rewriting of the rules faces a fight in Congress and opposition from some leaders in the banking and insurance world who have found fault with some details.
Appealing to everyday Americans, Obama focused on one part of his plan: a new consumer watchdog office that would protect people’s interests.
"This is essential," Obama said. "For this crisis may have started on Wall Street. But its impacts have been felt by ordinary Americans who rely on credit cards, home loans and other financial instruments."
The new Consumer Financial Protection Agency would specifically take over oversight of mortgages, requiring that lenders give customers the option of "plain vanilla" plans with straightforward and affordable terms, among other changes.
"It will have the power to set tough new rules so that companies compete by offering innovative products that consumers actually want and actually understand," Obama said. "Those ridiculous contracts — pages of fine print that no one can figure out — will be a thing of the past. You’ll be able to compare products, with descriptions in plain language, to see what is best for you."
More broadly, Obama’s changes would begin to reverse the easing on federal regulations pressed by President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. Democratic leaders in Congress are promising legislation will get passed this year, but that depends in part on how key questions are addressed on Capitol Hill, including the role of the Federal Reserve.
"I welcome a debate about how we can make sure our regulations work for businesses and consumers," Obama said. "But what I will not accept — what I will vigorously oppose — are those who do not argue in good faith."
By that, Obama said, he meant those who defend the status quo at any cost. He didn’t name any people or organizations but said special interests are already mobilizing to fight change. He called that typical Washington.
"These are the interests that have benefited from a system which allowed ordinary Americans to be exploited," Obama said. The president said he would stand up for his plans, saying: "While I’m not spoiling for a fight, I’m ready for one. The most important thing we can do to put this era of irresponsibility in the past is to take responsibility now."
