Greenhouse Juice Co.
Greenhouse Juice Co. sits in a little white house tucked away off Yonge at Macpherson Ave. Decor is strips to basics - white walls, wide barn board, exposed beams; the morning light streams in the windows over wooden crates of vegetables waiting to be pressed. Succulents in terrariums dot the walls and wood countertops while the brightly hued bottles of juice sit waiting for consumers in the glowing fridge.
The brainchild of several Toronto friends relocated to New York and LA, who, seeing a lack of cold-pressed organic juice back home, began Greenhouse Juice Co to fill the void. Cold-pressed juice differs from both grocer from concentrate varieties, home juicers and other juice bar methods in that they use hydraulic pressure to extract the live juice, added no heat or pasteurization. What results is a nutrient-dense, raw, and living elixir of the highest order.
Anthony Green, one of the partners, is behind the bar with Hana James, and combined they are a wealth of knowledge. They are proud of the stringent control levels they employ in their juice making - if specific organic produce isn't available, they don't make that juice. The price point is high, but then so is the product. It's the Cristal of juice.
James starts me on a juice flight , a sample profile of their various offerings. The menu includes the cold-pressed juices, handmade nut milks, smoothies, waters and boosters (tiny shots of nutrients more for health benefits than taste). We start with The Good , their most green juice, made with romaine, spinach cucumber, celery, lemon and Himalayan salt ($8.50 for 250ml, $11.50 for 500ml). It's earthy yet bright, like drinking liquid chlorophyll.
James suggests having a shot of their Chia Seed Hydrator ($5.00 for 250ml, $7.50 for 500ml) afterward, one of the waters they carry, as it helps absorb the nutrients of the green juice. The chia seeds are suspended in alkaline water with a dash of maple syrup and lemon, produce little in the way of flavour but texturally feel like tiny tapioca pearls or fish eggs. To your health, right?
The Gold Rush ($8, $11), made with pineapple, cucumber, lemon and ginger, has a wonderful sweet heat and is a popular one. I like the water that follows, Clean-zing which contains alkaline water, lemon, maple syrup and liquid cayenne ($6, $8), a master cleanse-style jumpstart for your metabolism.
The handmade nut milks are truly stellar. Their almond milk ($9, $12) is a blend of cold pressed almonds, alkaline water, vanilla bean, medjool dates and coconut oil, and blankets the mouth in a gently sweet and creamy way without being too rich.
The almond milk provided the base for two other nut milks as well, the Green Milk, made with spinach and maple syrup, and the Pink Milk, made with beets and maple syrup ($10 for 250ml). Green Milk gives you the hint of being good for you, but the Pink Milk feels down-right sinful, the flavour so luxuriant it could pass as dessert.
Cleansing programs are in development, as is an expanded food menu. As they experiment, new juices will be added to the already solid roster of flavours. Plus, they can keep tabs of your purchases too, and if you return your bottles for recycling your tenth purchase might just be free! Greenhouse lets you Zen-out on getting juiced up.

I love this little unicorn in Lawn Fawn's new Critters Ever After stamp set & thought I would make my own punny sentiment to go along with it. I love having alphabet stamps on hand just for this reason! The clear stamps make it easy to align the letters & always stamp them in just the right spot.
I used the new date roller stamp from the Neapolitan collection to add a bit of faux stitching on the tab. This stamp is full of fun & tiny borders & sentiments!

From billposting to playbills to circus posters, all influenced the development of what we all know today as billboards: symbolic icons of many American cities and highways.
Billboards are a unique advertising tool because they communicate their message to audiences on the go. 25 years ago, a big percentage of outdoor advertising consisted of billboards. Today, the industry has expanded to include smaller signs on bus shelters, interiors and exteriors of buses, taxis and business vehicle, kiosks, and malls.
Where billboard design has taken the industry
We've all seen the traditional flat billboards:
And we have also seen out-of the-box billboards that create a 3D interaction environment for the observer. A couple of examples are Nationwide Insurance – Life Comes At You Fast campaign and (by TM Advertising) or Travel Alberta – Ski Experience campaign (by Venture Communications):
What is next? Agencies are continually thinking of new and innovative ways to use billboards to grab the attention and imagination of their target audience. However, nowadays is not so much about urging the consumer to get something. Today, it is about "what it is in it for me, why should I lift my head from my smartphone and interact with this billboard?" The following outstanding creative examples of billboard design answer that question.
What will billboard design be like in 10 years?
Designed by the Ogilvy Group UK, this billboard uses surveillance technology to track British Airways' flights - allowing a child to point to the planes flying by in real time. A true example of interactive design.
How do you share Oreo in a big way? Well, as the video says it: you go to the biggest city in the country to pass it, share it and dunk it. It is a visual journey of sharing that spreads across 12 digital billboards and that engages people in a completely new brand experience.
In this billboard campaign created by GT Media and JC Decaux, people were able to "start" the car by texting a code and then downloading more information via bluetooth.
This campaign used face recognition technology to identify genders (male or female) and deliver different messages. If you're woman it shows you a video with a longer attention span requirement. If your a man it shows relevant statistics and an immediate call to action.
Play and get a coupon, a win-win situation! People in Stockholm were invited to use their mobile phones to play a game of Pong. If the player lasted over 30 seconds, they were immediately rewarded with a digital coupon for free food at the nearest McDonald's. The best part of this strategy was that users were not required to download an app to play, they could simply go to a URL and, through geolocation, the phone would know that the user was within the game's range.
There are many ways to approach the design of a billboard. However, what is going to make real impact now or 100 years from now won't be your regular "buy-buy-buy" technique, but a strategy that engages people in a relevant way to their interests, behaviors and life style. Welcome to the future!

The Challenges to
America’s National Identity
By PengHui Zhang
Translated By Stefanie Zhou
22 February 2013
Edited by Natalie Clager
China - Huanqiu - Original Article (Chinese)
The reform of U.S. immigration policy has two core objectives: One is to continue to attract high-quality personnel; the other is to solve the problem of illegal immigrants. There are few conflicts on the first objective between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. The difficulty lies in the legalization of illegal immigrants, which is also the crux of the problem the U.S. immigration reform bill repeatedly faces.
For the U.S., highly skilled immigrants are crucial to scientific and technological innovation and economic development. Historically, the United States has always accepted highly skilled immigrants unequivocally. The immigration laws promulgated successively all included the implementation of the priority system for highly skilled immigrants. After 9/11, the U.S. business community has been lobbying the government to lower the threshold for people with high-tech talent, and simplify the immigration procedures.
Dealing with illegal immigrants is tricky not only because it is a political matter concerning bipartisan votes, but also because it is related to the “national identity crisis” triggered by the large number of immigrants who swarmed into the United States. The United States is a country of immigrants, but national identity was not a problem for a very long period of time. During the nation’s early days, race, ethnicity, language and religion were not complicated. The U.S. accepted immigrants from Europe with high priority and restricted the entry of people of color to maintain national identity. In addition, the U.S. strongly promoted various assimilation policies by directing immigrants to abandon their original languages, customs and ways of life and accept the American way of life and values instead.
The adoption of the new immigration laws in 1965 and the rise of the civil rights movement during the same period, along with the prevalence of multiculturalism, had a huge impact in terms of national identity. Maintaining a cultural identity as immigrants was viewed as a manifestation of social vitality.
However, the collision between the concepts above and reality is continually growing. Surpassing 50 million in number, the Hispanics have become the most populous and fastest growing minority group in the U.S. The U.S. Census Bureau predicted that by 2050, Hispanics will become the largest ethnic group in the country. According to the survey, about half of Hispanic immigrants has education below college level, experiences a language barrier, communicates in Spanish, watches Mexican television, remits proceeds back to their home country and lives a life of semi-isolation. Some U.S. conservatives worry that the surge in the number of Latin American immigrants and the rejection of assimilation may cause the U.S. to face the risk of Latin soccer home game against Mexico in 1998.
A survey from Feb. 2013 from Pew Research Center showed that only 36 percent of Mexican immigrants who are eligible to become U.S. citizens applied for citizenship. Among them, only 7 percent applied out of “national identity.” Most applied for “legal rights,” “benefits and opportunities” and “family reasons.” Another 52 percent of the people did not apply on the grounds of "language barrier", "did not try" or "not interested." These data reflected the indifference of the immigrants to U.S. national identity.
The large number of Hispanic immigrants constitutes a political force that cannot be ignored. The Democratic Party strongly recommends the regularization of illegal immigrants, mainly in order to consolidate the Hispanic electorate vote, along with some consideration for illegal immigrants to integrate into American society. However, Republicans think that the legalization of illegal immigrants is as good as "amnesty" and will encourage more illegal immigration. Conservatives in the Republican Party are more concerned that this will further exacerbate the identity crisis of American society. Congress faces the situation divided between Democrats and Republicans. The immigration policy reform path is doomed to be a long drawn fight.
In “Who are we?: The Challenges to America’s National Identity,” Huntington is worried that the South, where Latin American immigrants are concentrated, will become the "Latin Quarter," leading to the split of the United States. Such concerns in American society are relatively representative. American society is still looking for a plan to the answer the question of whether the United States can avoid an identity crisis while maintaining the diverse qualities of a "nation of immigrants."

A complaint was today filed in a local court against BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and some other party leaders for allegedly hurting religious sentiments by "distorting" slogan 'Har Har Mahadev' to 'Har Har Modi' for political gains. The Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) court posted the matter for April 3.
Lawyer and former vice-president of the Central Bar Association Varanasi, Manoj Kumar Dubey, alleged in his complaint that the traditional slogan used for paying obeisance to Lord Shiva has been distorted for political gains, thereby hurting the sentiments of devotees and also amounting to disrespect to the deity. The complaint has been filed under Section 153(A), 171, 467 and 468 of Indian Penal Code, Dubey said.
Besides Modi, his close aide Amit Shah, Mayor of Varanasi Ram Gopal Mohale and other unidentified BJP members have been mentioned in the complaint. The slogan has invited criticism from various fronts and political parties.
Shankaracharya of Dwarka Peeth, Swaroopanand Saraswati, has registered a strong protest with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, asking him to stop such 'vyakti puja' (eulogising of an individual). The Shankaracharya was unhappy over the traditional chant 'Har Har Mahadev' which is raised to hail Lord Shiva being 'modified' into 'Har Har Modi', to spruce up Modi's campaign.

The novels of Patricia Highsmith, the high priestess of the psychological thriller, delve into the dark depths of the human condition. Lust, repressed desire, jealousy, suspense, class anxiety, rage—and usually at least one murder—are all recurring elements in her work.
The dramatic nature of Highsmith’s work, embodied by complex, riveting characters— from the charming but murderous grifter Tom Ripley in The Talented Mr. Ripley to the aloof yet alluring housewife Carol Aird in The Price of Salt—lends itself well to the big screen. Strangers on a Train, Highsmith’s suspenseful first novel, was published in 1950 and made into a film just a year later by Alfred Hitchcock. Filled with blackmail, intrigue, and obsession, Strangers on a Train was the first of many film adaptations that would be made of Highsmith’s work, which comprises 22 novels and stories.
Though it’s been more than 70 years since her first novel was published, the thrills of Highsmith keep coming—her stories, though dark, tap into universal themes like moral conflict and forming identity, making them both apropos and timeless. Case in point: the new film adaptation of Deep Water, starring Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas, which comes out on March 18. Though the film updates some elements of the story to situate it in contemporary times (Affleck’s character is a tech entrepreneur), Highsmith’s deft touch can clearly felt in de Armas’ adulterous and sharply observant housewife Melinda Van Allen, a classic Highsmith character: flawed, complicated, and yet somehow endlessly, discomfitingly relatable.
Below is our guide to every movie adaptation made of Patricia Highsmith’s work.
Strangers on a Train (1950)
Highsmith’s debut novel, Strangers on a Train, was published in 1950, marking the start of her notable career. This reputation was bolstered the next year, when Alfred Hitchcock, known as the “Master of Suspense,” adapted the book to screen. In Highsmith’s novel, a fateful chance encounter between two disgruntled strangers on a train has deadly consequences; architect Guy Haines wants to leave his cheating wife Miriam for his new love, Anne, while Bruno Antony, a wealthy psychopath wants to be rid of his overbearing father. Antony suggests that the men “swap” murders—Antony killing Miriam and Haines killing Antony’s father—since neither would have a motive, freeing them both from becoming suspects, while Haines considers the proposition nothing more than a joke. After Antony murders Miriam, it sets off a chain of events that involves blackmail, homoerotic obsession, an investigation, and more murder. The high-octane drama of Highsmith’s novel provided rich fodder for Hitchcock’s now-iconic film adaptation (the film was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry in 2021), with a few key changes for the two main characters: in the movie, Haines is a celebrity tennis star who is incapable of murder, instead of an architect who kills to keep his secrets; Bruno Antony, meanwhile, was renamed by Hitchcock as Charles Bruno Anthony, whose homoerotic tendencies were heightened for the film. Hitchcock’s adaptation wasn’t the only reworking of Highsmith’s novel for film—director Robert Sparr’s 1969 thriller Once You Kiss a Stranger, took liberal inspiration from Strangers on a Train, with a gender flip for its main characters, while a 2022 Netflix adaptation of the film, Do Revenge, starring Riverdale‘s Camila Mendes and Stranger Things‘ Maya Hawke, reinterprets the classic for a pair of scheming teenage girls.
Where to watch: Strangers on a Train is available for rent or purchase on YouTube; Once You Kiss a Stranger is available for rent or purchase on YouTube; Do Revenge will be available to stream on Sept. 16 on Netflix.
The Price of Salt (1952)
While Highsmith is best known for cold-blooded crime novels filled with murders and deception, her 1952 romance novel The Price of Salt, about a forbidden love affair between a housewife and a shopgirl, is regarded as one of her masterpieces. Centering on the obsessive romance that develops between Therese Belivet, a set designer whose day job is working a department store, and Carol Aird, a wealthy housewife trapped in an unhappy marriage, the book has been heralded as a groundbreaking work of queer literature, particularly because its relatively happy ending was a rarity in work about lesbians. Highsmith, wary of being pigeonholed or discriminated as a writer of lesbian pulp fiction, initially published the book under the pseudonym Claire Morgan, It was re-issued with her real name and the title, Carol, in 1989. The book got the silver screen treatment in 2014 with a highly acclaimed adaptation helmed by director Todd Haynes. Starring Cate Blanchett as Carol Aird and Rooney Mara as Therese Belivet, the film stayed mostly true to Highsmith’s text (an exception being that Therese is a photographer rather than a set designer in the film), thanks to an excellent adapted screenplay by Phyllis Nagy.

The Blunderer (1954)
Mariticide—or at least the appearance of it—provides the drama for Highsmith’s third novel, 1954’s The Blunderer. Meek and bumbling lawyer and amateur writer Walter Stackhouse has had it with his high maintenance wife Clara after a decade of matrimony filled with her neuroses and demands. Triggered by Clara’s insinuation that he’s having an affair with a music teacher, Walter pursues a relationship with the woman in question, prompting Clara to attempt suicide unsuccessfully. Undeterred, Walter files for divorce, but before proceedings can begin, Clara is found dead, raising suspicions about his possible role in her death—especially since he’s just befriended the local bookstore owner, whose wife was killed in a similar fashion to Clara. The Blunderer has had two film adaptations over the years: the first, Le meurtrier (or Enough Rope), was a French thriller film that was loosely inspired by the novel, released in 1963 by the director Claude Autant-Lara; the second is the 2016 film, A Kind of Murder, which closely follows the themes and characters of Highsmith’s original work, save for some minor changes, such as Walter working as an architect and amateur crime instead of a lawyer. Directed by Andy Goddard the film stars Patrick Wilson as Stackhouse, Jessica Biel as Clara, and Vincent Kartheiser as the dogged detective investigating Clara’s death.

The Talented Mr. Ripley (1955)
Perhaps the most famous of Highsmith’s novels, The Talented Mr. Ripley introduced readers to the charming but psychopathic killer Tom Ripley, a character so compelling that Highsmith wrote four other novels about him. The novel begins when Ripley, a scrappy young man resorting to scams to survive in NYC, fakes a friendship with Dickie Greenleaf that results in Dickie’s father sending him to Italy to bring Dickie back to the U.S. Instead of returning home, Ripley grows his grift—he impersonates a wealthy acquaintance and gallivants around Italy with Dickie, developing a deep and homoerotic obsession with him that disarms Dickie once he realizes it. Ripley’s obsession leads to his greatest impersonation of all: he assumes a new life as Dickie Greenleaf, reaping all the benefits of his wealth and social standing. In order to achieve and maintain his new lifestyle, however, Ripley turns to murder, not just once, but many times. The sinister story has been adapted into three different films; the first, the 1960 French film, Purple Noon, was a loose adaptation of Highsmith’s novel that was directed by Réné Clément and starred Alain Delon as Ripley. The most well-known adaptation of the novel is Anthony Minghella’s 1999 version, The Talented Mr. Ripley, which follows Highsmith’s text far more closely. Starring Matt Damon as Ripley, Jude Law as Dickie, and boasting an all-star cast that included Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, the film garnered five Oscar nominations. The third adaptation of the novel is 2012’s Naan, an Indian Tamil-language film written and directed by Jeeva Shankar that was loosely based on the novel and the 1999 film adaptation.
Deep Water (1957)
Highsmith returned to familiar themes of marital infidelity, jealousy, lust, and violence with her fifth novel, Deep Water. Suburban couple Vic and Melinda Van Allen have long established that their marriage is devoid of love, but in order to avoid the scandal of divorce, they’ve come to an agreement that seems to work: Melinda can have as many affairs as she wants, provided that she does not leave their family. However, once Melinda’s lovers begin mysteriously dying, she has a sinking suspicion that Vic is responsible for the murders, setting off a dangerous game of cat and mouse between the couple, which is only heightened once a local pulp fiction writer also suspects that Vic is behind the killings. This dramatic tale of marital strife lent itself well to the big screen; it was first adapted for film as Eaux profondes in 1981 by director Michel Deville, who rewrote the story to take place in France and changed Melinda’s name to Melanie, played by Isabelle Huppert. Another adaptation, set in contemporary times, starring Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas premiered on March 18. It marks director Adrian Lyne’s return to directing after a 20 year hiatus.
Where to watch: Deep Water, Hulu
The Cry of the Owl (1962)
A divorcée’s wandering eye sets off a murderous chain of events in Highsmith’s eighth novel, The Cry of the Owl. Following an acrimonious split with his ex-wife Nikki, Robert Forester moves to the suburbs of Pennsylvania, where he becomes secretly obsessed with Jenny, a neighbor whom he spies on from the kitchen window. What Robert doesn’t anticipate, however, is Jenny’s own obsessive advances towards him, including breaking her engagement to her jealous fiancé Greg, whose thirst for revenge, mirroring that of Nikki, who reappears in Robert’s life, has fatal consequences for more than one person. Robert’s trials and tribulations played out on the big screen in two film adaptations of the novel—first, in Claude Chabrol’s 1987 French film, Le Cri de Hibou and later, in 2009, with an adaptation that was written and directed by Jamie Thraves, starring Julia Stiles and Paddy Considine.
The Two Faces of January (1964)
Highsmith employs romantic and destructive passion to fuel a messy love triangle that turns murderous. American con man Chester MacFarland and his wife Colette are traveling in Greece, when they meet an American expat named Rydal Keener. After MacFarland accidentally kills a policeman, the trio hide from the law in a high-stakes evasion across the country that takes a fatal turn after a flirtation develops between Keener and Colette. Die zwei Gesichter des Januar, a German film adaptation of the film was made in 1986 by director Wolfgang Storch, while a 2014 adaptation sharing the same name as the novel, written and directed by Hossein Amini, played up the romance between Colette and Keener and the cons of MacFarland for dramatic effect; it starred Viggo Mortenson as Chester MacFarland, Kirsten Dunst as Colette, and Oscar Isaac as Rydal Keener.
The Glass Cell (1964)
Highsmith took inspiration from fan mail from a prison inmate who had read her novel Deep Water and John Bartlow Martin’s 1954 account of his time in the Michigan State Prison, Break Down the Walls to critique the prison industrial complex for her tenth novel, 1964’s The Glass Cell. In the book, Highsmith shows the far-reaching consequences of wrongful imprisonment through the character of Philip Carter, a gentle engineer who is innocent, but has been falsely convicted of fraud. Carter is traumatized after his only friend in jail is killed, falling into a deep depression and exhibiting violent behavior, like what he’s witnessed in jail, all while obsessing over whether or not his wife Hazel is having an affair with his lawyer, David. After Carter gains an early release and discovers that his suspicions about infidelity were rooted in reality, the effect of incarceration on his character has fatal consequences for everyone involved. The sobering themes of The Glass Cell provided inspiration for the 1978 Oscar-nominated German film, Die gläserne Zelle, which was directed by Hans W. Geibendorfer.

Ripley Under Ground (1970)
The sequel novel to Highsmith’s wildly popular The Talented Mr. Ripley and the second novel in her “Ripliad” series about Tom Ripley, focuses on the wily and sinister Ripley, who is now living a luxurious new life in France with his new wife Heloise, thanks to Dickie’s fortune, which Ripley bequeathed to himself by forging Dickie’s will. This forgery sets the tone for the rest of the novel, which finds Ripley maintaining his lifestyle with an art forgery scheme that soon billows out of control, compelling Ripley to return to his impersonating and murderous ways. The plot of the novel was the loose inspiration for the 1977 German neo-noir film, The American Friend, as well as a 2005 adaptation by Roger Spottiswoode that despite sharing the same title as the novel, took many liberties with the story.
Ripley’s Game (1974)
In the third installment of Highsmith’s series about Tom Ripley, the murderous grifter’s affluent lifestyle in France is interrupted by a request for a hit job from a former associate in America. As much as Ripley tries to stay out of the fray, he finds himself drawn back into subterfuge and fatal violence after a petty act of revenge results in a run-in with the mafia and an unexpected murder. It was adapted, taking many liberties from the book, for the big screen by director Liliana Cavani in 2002 and starred John Malkovich as Ripley.

Edith’s Diary (1977)
Highsmith returns to the darker side of suburban life with her 1977 novel Edith’s Diary, a dismal look at domesticity through the eyes of Edith Howland, a housewife in a small Pennsylvania town, whose tenuous grasp on reality after her husband leaves her and their troubled son for a younger woman becomes apparent in the stark difference between her bleak life and the one she writes about in her cheery and patently untrue diary entries. Highsmith drew on her own habits as a devoted diary keeper as part of the novel’s inspiration. The novel, which the New Yorker praised as Highsmith’s “strongest, her most imaginative, and by far her most substantial” work, was adapted for film by Hans W. Geibendorfer in 1983, his second adaptation of one of Highsmith’s novels.

Grizz Gang Not “Nervous” about the Sure Success of the Song and the Video
“When you come from nothing, getting to the top is that much sweeter,” says Grizz Gang bandleader, Ben Grizz. Ben is proud of his success so far in the very competitive music culture of Massachusetts, with its long list of great songwriters and performers in hip-hop, folk and rock (and folk-rock!) and other genres
The song “Nervous” is now released (October 24) to a public ready for its up-tempo vibe and edgy energy so reminiscent of “Feeling My Buzz,” another great Grizz number recently nominated for Song of the Year.
“Nervous” is one of the hottest songs from Grizz Gang’s cutting-edge album, “No Hibernation.” Producer Kaseek Ortiz mixed and mastered the song, with visuals provided by Dawson Visions and Heaven-Leigh Images. The team is part of the talent-packed group working at Grizz Gang Forever Studios, an indie label that Ben calls “an empire in the making.” After all, says Ben, “talent and hard work outweigh everything.”
A young man in a hurry, Ben stresses how much he and his collaborators need to keep on innovating and inventing new kinds of music for fans who are loyal and fans who are only now getting their first taste of the band. “Sometimes you have to get rid of your past self and the things that hold you down, to keep moving towards your goals,” says Ben.
Grizz Gang is dedicated to putting new talent on display with showcases that music lovers won’t want to miss. The GGF Movement will continue to network around the Massachusetts scene with new and different creative events. “Nervous” and other upcoming songs are just the beginning for GGF.

NEW YORK (
) -- The
seriously was concerned it didn't have enough staffing to service the discount window in 2007.
Transcripts from the Federal Open Market Committee -- the Fed's policy-making wing -- from the early days of the financial crisis suggest that Fed members sometimes found themselves unfamiliar with the financial instruments that were beginning to cave and frightened by the prospects of encouraging more banks to approach its discount window to remain liquid.
During a second emergency meeting on Aug. 16, 2007, FOMC members debated the impending statement it would release the next day that said the central bank would reduce
-- one of three discount window programs it offers -- by 50 basis points to 5.75% in an effort to encourage banks to request loans from the regional Reserve banks.
Six days prior to this meeting,
the FOMC had held its first emergency conference call
of the approaching financial crisis to inform members that the central bank would be issuing a statement later in the day to say that it would provide liquidity to maintain "orderly functioning" of the financial markets. Troubles with

) had tormented markets and the commercial paper markets in Europe and the U.S. started to face pressures.
But banks rapidly became more illiquid than the Fed had anticipated in the first meeting, and members opposed a bailout option. Members avoided bailouts as an option because it wasn't clear in August 2007 just how unhealthy conditions would later become. General worry among Fed bankers, according to the transcript, was that illiquidity was spreading and banks were afraid to approach the discount window.
The discount window -- where banks go to ask the Reserve banks for loans -- carried a negative stigma.
If somehow the stigma were reduced for coming to the window, they might be able to take advantage of that source of liquidity and act so that the help might relax some of the constraints in other markets," Timothy Geithner, then-president of the New York Fed and vice chairman of the FOMC, said in the emergency meeting.
The argument split into two directions: What if virtually none of the banks approach the discount window, despite a drop in the rate? Or, what if the "8,000 banks and many more depository institutions than that" all clamor at once to the window?
The latter situation raised some concern.
Another issue of the narrower spread
over the federal funds rate is that, as Brian
Madigan pointed out, you probably increase the number of people, and so there are also some operational issues relating to the staff that the Federal Reserve Banks are managing," said New York Fed President William Dudley, who was then the manager of the System Open Market Account. "
There is an issue in terms of the operational burden and our capacity to do that, given that this is basically very rarely used in the current environment."
Simply, Dudley raised the concern that if the 50-basis-point reduction in the discount rate triggered an avalanche of loan requests, the Reserve banks across the country may not have enough humans to deliver the funds.
The issue never arose, but the conversation offers a view of the uncharted landscape the Fed was about to wander through.
The other argument unfolded about a lack of bank participation.
The stigma to approach the discount window was that banks felt if they asked for loans from the Fed, then market participants would view those banks as weak. Stronger banks, the reasoning suggested, wouldn't want to do business with weaker banks, which would thusly exacerbate problems.
The Fed also didn't want to send the impression to markets that conditions in the financial services sector were spiraling (again, at that time, the Fed didn't observe the rising problems as a crisis of historic proportions).
What to do?
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and others recommended a 50-basis-point reduction, while others argued for a 75-basis-point decrease.
Those in favor of 75 basis points feared that 50 basis points wouldn't maximize the effect of bringing banks in need of liquidity to the discount window.
The argument about the difference of 25 basis points gripped the FOMC's conversation and weaved itself throughout the meeting. Ultimately, Geithner made the decisive argument for the 50-basis-point cut: If it didn't work, the Fed would know larger problems were brewing.
"If this does not have a desired effect, it will not be because we didn't do another 25. It will be because we're at the point where we're going to have to think about the fed funds rate," said Geithner, who then levied some dramatic irony. "So I don't think it is right ... to think that we will do it by just decision we will revisit that spread. We will have to think about more dramatic actions in that context."
On Aug. 17, 2007, the Fed issued
, which said it would cut the discount rate by 50 basis points and the target federal funds rate by the same amount.
"We are doing a very unconventional thing," Bernanke said at the end of the meeting.

A. Schröder, M. Kupnik, P. OŽLeary, E. Benes, M. Gröschl:
"A Capacitance Ultrasonic Transducer With Micromachined Backplate for Fast Flow Measurements in Hot Pulsating Gases";
IEEE Sensors Journal,
A novel high-temperature resistant capacitance ultrasonic transducer is presented. It is designed for an ultrasonic transit-time gas flowmeter and meets two main requirements not fulfilled by common piezoelectric transducers: First, a special construction based on an oxidized and patterned silicon backplate combined with a metallic membrane enables transducer operation at elevated gas temperatures of up to 600 °C. Second, the geometry and material parameters were chosen to obtain a broadband device that allows high signal slew rates and pulse repetition rates. As proven by measurements in an automotive combustion engine test bed environment, this new transducer suits for internal combustion engine exhaust flow measurements in between the catalytic converter and the end of the exhaust pipe. Preliminary results for the exhaust mass flow (up to 160 kg/h) of a typical automotive engine measured with these novel transducers are given and compared with the mass flow calculated from fuel consumption and air/fuel ratio (λ).

So, a black man tells Arabs they are responsible for all the crimes. And what do they do? In response they commit a crime (!) and beat him up. For their senseless attack the victim is called a ‘racist’.
How was the statement “racism”? People don’t even know the meaning of the word racism. An opinion is an opinion. It’s not racism. Racism is an act whereby you deprive a person of the same legal rights that others have access to based on the idea that they are inferior to have the same rights. Racism is an act of deprivation. It’s tiring to read the poor grasph the media have of the word racism and how easily they use it for every small story of theirs.

The former star of 'The Wire' shares his bitter experience when he struggled to find a job and ended being homeless which then cost him his marriage.
Former "The Wire" star Idris Elba was left homeless during the breakdown of his marriage. The British actor was wed to Dormowa Sherman and they have a seven-year-old daughter, Isan, together. 37-year-old Elba admits the relationship unraveled while he was struggling to find work, and he ended up sleeping in his car while he attempted to land an acting job.
He tells Britain's Now magazine, "I was going through a really tough time some years ago. I couldn't get an acting job and my marriage was in a horrible place, so I ended up homeless. I slept rough in my brown Chevrolet Astro van for eight weeks."
And Idris Elba recently kicked start his acting career by documenting troubles which are faced by youth of modern Britain. On his project, he shared, "I grew up around people who have gone through hardship and crime and I knew people who were criminals. My character in The Wire harvests kids who have come out of school and into crime. But there are a lot of talented kids out there who just need a foot in the door."

Former Santa Rosa ISD Employees Arrested on Improper Relationships
SANTA ROSA – More arrests are possible in a Santa Rosa sexual assault investigation.
Two former district employees are behind bars; both are accused of having improper relationships with students.
The employees accused in this case are Josue Cepeda and Isaac Flores.
DA investigators say the incidents were first reported to Santa Rosa Independent School District officials in May 2018.
Investigators allege nothing was done and law enforcement was not notified.
In Feb. 2019, a tip came in to the Homeland Security Investigations Child Exploitation Task Force, which prompted the investigation into Flores and Cepeda.
On Tuesday, each is charged with one count of improper relationship.
Cepeda is charged with six counts of sexual assault.
Flores faces two counts of sexual assault and four counts of delivery of a controlled substance or marijuana.
Both men remain in custody.
Santa Rosa ISD rebuffs what the DA said regarding not taking immediate action.
It goes on to say they are cooperating with the investigation and have filed corresponding reports with the state.

GOP have tended to dismiss President Trump’s attacks on the rule of law as the naïve utterances of a political novice. When confronted with evidence that Trump has repeatedly pressured Senate Republicans to end their investigation of the Russia collusion, GOP told the New York Times that the president merely “still has the mind-set of a businessman rather than a politician.”
Trump’s lawyer, John Dowd, has elevated this assumption to official presidential doctrine in an explosive interview with Mike Allen. A “president cannot obstruct justice because he is the chief law enforcement officer and has every right to express his view of any case,” he says.
There are two ways Trump could abuse the power of law enforcement. The first is offensive, to direct it as a weapon against his political enemies. The second is defensive, shielding himself and his allies from any accountability, and thereby enabling them to commit crimes without consequence.
Trump has publicly attacked Special Counsel Robert Mueller and threatened, publicly and privately, to fire him.
His belief that the entire government should operate on his personal behalf in exactly the same way as his employees at the Trump Organization is a worldview incompatible with republican government.
Limits on the president’s authority over law enforcement, both formal and informal, are an essential bulwark against authoritarianism. Trump has been testing those limits since he assumed office, New York Magazine reports.


What was shaping up to be a tough summer for GM has rapidly worsened and become a major gut-check for GM, its investors, and fans of the American automaker.
Which brings up the most frequently asked question I get from readers and viewers: can GM successfully shift gears from trucks to cars?
The good news: GM's designers, engineers, and execs have the will and ability to roll out winning cars. Look at the new Chevy Malibu, Cadillac CTS, Saturn Aura, or recent Pontiac offerings. They are every bit as good as the competition. On top of that, the cars in GM's pipeline including the Chevy Camaro should do well.
In addition, the rapid loss of market share has rattled the tree at GM. The leaders know there's no time to waste. The good news is GM is a much more nimble company and, when pressed, can move quickly to meet a challenge. This is not the mid 70's when GM was caught flat footed by the oil crisis and couldn't quickly adapt.
The bad news: shifting GM's production from trucks to cars will take time and be costly. Ask almost anyone in the auto industry and they'll tell you the domestic automakers simply do not have enough flexibility in their plants. In other words, GM can't just flip a switch and crank out fewer trucks in exchange for more cars. It will take many months to re-tool plants.
It will also be costly. The UAW will work with GM, but the union will also fight to keep jobs and get buyouts for those GM wants to release. Now, GM has plenty of liquidity at the moment, but there is a limit. GM has already sold and borrowed against many of it's major assets and the credit markets stink right now, meaning the company will find it more expensive if it needs to borrow more in the future to fund this restructuring.
My outlook: GM can get through this crisis, but it won't be pretty. Its market share could fall much further, running the risk of dropping behind Toyotato become #2 in the U.S.
That is what will make this summer so challenging for the company and its fans. GM is ending its first 100 years with a test that few could have imagined when the company was dominating the U.S. 40 or 50 years ago.

The world saw the real Boston Celtics play Friday night during a dominant win over the Pacers.
One night later, the fake Boston Celtics were on display during the first half of Saturday night’s game against the Atlanta Hawks.
Thankfully, the true Boston Celtics returned in the third quarter of Saturday’s game as the team ran away with its second consecutive victory.
Boston trailed by 15 points at halftime, but then something clicked. When it returned to the floor for the second half it was as if a completely different team was wearing green and white.
Kevin Garnett began the second half with a fadeaway jumper to cut Atlanta’s lead down to 13 points. That lead would quickly disappear as the Celtics strung together a 14-1 run to begin the quarter.
One man accounted for most of the points during that run and his name was Paul Pierce. Pierce scored eight of Boston’s 14 points off of a variety of moves during that stretch. He hit everything from fadeaways to 3-pointers to driving reverse layups while being fouled. He was simply dominant. Garnett and Rajon Rondo, who scored the final four points of the run, accounted for the other six Boston points during the run.
While the Celtics were scoring at one end, they were intimidating the Hawks at the other end. Atlanta missed shot after shot and committed several turnovers as it timidly walked through its offense.
Before anyone knew it, Atlanta’s 15-point halftime lead was all the way down to two just four minutes and 30 seconds into the second half. The Celtics still trailed at that point but there was no confusion as to where this game was heading. It was on its way right into Boston’s win column. The C’s dominated the entire second half and went on to win the game by a count of 89-81.
Key Box Score Line
Paul Pierce accomplished a very rare feat Saturday night: he outshined a triple-double. Rajon Rondo notched his second triple-double of the season but Pierce was the man who won this game for the Celtics. He was a dominant offensive force and the C’s rode him in the second half.
Pierce had scored just nine points on 2-of-9 shooting over the first 24 minutes of the game. He was a whole lot better than that over the final two quarters, as he notched 17 points on 6-of-11 shooting in the second half. Pierce finished the contest with a team-high 26 points and accounted for nine of Boston’s 12 free throw attempts.
There were times when Pierce literally seemed unstoppable. He was hitting turnaround, fadeaway shots over defenders. He was blowing by defenders, absorbing contact at the rim and finishing. Also, per usual, he was canning shots from behind the 3-point arc. The Celtics played phenomenal defense in the second half, but they probably wouldn’t have won this game without the pure genius of Pierce’s offense.
Box Score Nuggets
- Atlanta scored 52 points in the first half but just 28 in the second half.
- Lou Williams scored 16 points on 6-of-6 shooting in the first quarter.
- Paul Pierce led the Celtics with 26 points and also grabbed nine rebounds.

- Boston outrebounded Atlanta 44-36.
- Rajon Rondo notched a triple-double with 14 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.
- Rondo's 11 rebounds and 10 assists both led the game.
- The Celtics committed just 13 turnovers.
- Williams scored a game-high 28 points.
- The Celtics (16) grabbed twice as many offensive rebounds as the Hawks (eight), but scored two less second-chance points (13) than Atlanta did (15).
- Both teams led by at least 11 points at some point of the game.
- Jared Sullinger gave another great effort with eight points and nine rebounds off of the bench.
- Josh Smith shot 4-of-18 from the field en route to 12 points.
- Each team had three players attempt at least 12 shots.
Quote of the Night
We're not a big team, but we have two guards in Avery (Bradley) and (Rajon) Rondo who can change the game with their ball pressure, and I thought they did that. Doc Rivers on the defense played by his starting backcourt

Tenalach (Old Gaelic) describes a relationship one has with the land, air and water – a deep connection that allows one to literally hear the earth sing!
And it is the strange and wonderful journey Catherine takes us on, when
she discovers that she has a “vocation” to remember who she really is.
Setting out from the respectable worlds of science and rationalism, she finds herself drawn back in time and deep into the collective psyche where she discovers that -
there’s nothing more logical than what is,
but the truth – that’s a deadly romance
She receives a transmission from a tomato plant telling her that she comes from a long line of liars, murderers, sorcerers and witch burners,
And that their ways of seeing have become her ways of seeing. She operates from the same stories, bargains and lies that they did and her rational mind has been powerless against the spell of forgetting.
Guided by songs, visons and the inhabitants of her garden, and meandering through herstory, mythology and theology, Catherine gains an understanding of the various forces that might account for her lack of connection to this world – and in the process discovers that her vocation is not quite as straightforward as she had originally thought!
Tenalach is essentially a journey from the head to the heart –
a reminder that “Eden is a state of mind we are free to return to again and again every time we know ourselves again in deep communion with the rest of life” – Eleanor O’Hanlon
Though she knew nothing of atoms and molecules, or the fusion of hydrogen at the center of the stars, she knew that the sun’s warmth and light were the absolute condition of all life – and so she gave thanks!
She looked out of the window and decided it was time
So she opened up the stained glass and she walked out of her mind
And on these rocks they’ll build a church, having read that it is wise
Oh Babel had no towers like these, this is madness this is lies
Turning water into wine
Did you think we would not rise, above your stories and your lies?
Did you think we would not remember the flame?
But all that burns, does not die but will return, will be reborn
Tempered now by the fire of blazing stakes and bloody wars
Stronger for the flame – we are strong before the flame
That’s the way it was when I saw it
And I saw it with my own eyes
All of This world sacred and unbroken
And on Fire with the Reason Why

She didn't have much to say about this block.
Regarding the colors of the Brown-eyed Susans quilt block Nancy wrote, "The best effect is achieved with the use of a creamy white for the background, a deep but bright green for the leaves, a golden yellow for the flowers and a dark brown for their center."
A copy of Nancy's Brown-eyed Susans pattern can be seen here. Since this is an applique block, I am not making it for my sampler quilt.

Before his callup, Hand went 7-1 with a 3.53 ERA in 11 starts with Double-A Jacksonville. He was called up to take Josh Johnson's place in the rotation until Florida's ace comes off the 15-day disabled list from right shoulder inflammation.
"I feel good about what I did. It was just one bad pitch that cost us the game," Hand said. "But I am very excited, very happy. I worked so hard to get here. It was a great experience to get here."
His trip to the big leagues should be motivation for four other top prospects in the Marlins' farm system.
After struggling with the breaking pitch during Spring Training, Matt Dominguez also suffered a fractured left elbow.
As one of the top third-base prospects in the game, Dominguez is back from the injury and finally getting his reps in.
"It was a matter of him making adjustments, and we knew all along that we were pushing his situation. At that point, it was the last week of Spring Training. We made a decision not to force the situation," Rodriguez said. "It's matter of time when he's going to be in the big leagues. Whenever he comes up here, he's going to stay here."
The 12th overall pick in the 2007 First-Year Player Draft returned to action in May and is currently at Triple-A New Orleans, where he is batting .262 with four homers and 17 RBIs over 65 at-bats.
With Greg Dobbs and Wes Helms in a platoon at third, Rodriguez said Florida doesn't want to force the situation with Dominguez.
"We don't want to put him in a situation where he will fail," Rodriguez said. "So if we have to wait, we will wait."
According to Jim Fleming, the Marlins' vice president of player development and scouting, the No. 2 prospect in the organization's system, Chad James, is "really making progress."
James, the 18th overall pick in the 2009 Draft, has been throwing strikes and his breaking ball is in the zone.
The 20-year-old left-hander is 0-9 with a 3.10 ERA in 12 starts for the Jupiter Hammerheads.
"The numbers may not say that," Fleming said. "He has mound presence, he has really improved. He's a very high-strung, emotional guy, and he's learning how to control it."
Christian Yelich was drafted 23rd overall as one of the best high school hitters taken last year.
The left-handed-hitting outfielder has speed -- he has stolen 13 bases -- and is batting .285 with four homers, 13 doubles and 29 RBIs in 193 at-bats with the Greensboro Grasshoppers.
"He's doing great. His numbers are solid, not fantastic," Fleming said. "He played very, very little last year."
Meanwhile, Florida's sixth overall pick in 2008, Kyle Skipworth, received the challenge of playing with the Suns this spring.
In 162 at-bats, he's hitting just .179 with five homers and 21 RBIs. Skipworth has fanned 55 times.
"He's really struggling. We knew pushing him to Double-A was really a risk. He's not struggling defensively, but offensively. We're trying to get through this," Fleming said. "We're trying to stay with a plan. We knew it would be a struggle. If he stays positive, I think we will get through it."

FREE COVID-19 TESTING AND PPE SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR ALL SCHOOL EMPLOYEES AND STUDENTS BEFORE REOPENING THE SCHOOLS
WHEREAS, universal testing for COVID-19 is fundamental to learning the real number of people infected by the disease, and therefore how to escalate the struggle to defeat it. Most importantly, universally available testing ensures that those who are infected, especially those who are asymptomatic, can be identified, isolate, and have their contacts traced and tested. Every major public health organization, beginning with the World Health Organization emphasizes the vital importance of mass testing. The American Federation of Teachers also released a “Plan to Safely Reopen Schools,” which includes the need for increased COVID-19 testing; and
WHEREAS, despite acknowledging the need to massively increase COVID-19 testing by politicians at every level, test availability remains pitifully low. California is ranked among the bottom half of the country in per capita testing for COVID-19 (California ranks 26th), according to data compiled by the COVID Tracking Project and the most recent U.S. Census Bureau numbers (Dylan Scott for Vox, May 11, 2020). In countless cities and states, getting tested for COVID-19 remains a major challenge, even for frontline workers; and
WHEREAS, COVID-19 has a particularly long incubation period before signs and symptoms of the illness manifest (ranging from five-24 days). Without the availability of universal testing for people who are asymptomatic, countless people can inadvertently spread the illness to others. Added to the already serious and tragically fatal effects of COVID-19 that have been documented, scientists and physicians acknowledge that there is still a great deal they do not know about the virus, adding to the danger of the pandemic; and
WHEREAS, schools are obvious places where massive community spread of illness takes place. Premature reopening of schools will lead to another wave of the pandemic. This is an unacceptable risk to the lives and safety of our members, students and families; and
WHEREAS, as educators in our community's public schools, when we fight for the health and safety of our members, we are also fighting for the health and safety of our students and their families. We have shown time and again the power that we have when we unite and fight. We have that power right now to fight for the necessary health policies to be implemented from our local, state and national governments:
RESOLVED, that the American Federation of Teachers will call for freely available COVID-19 testing for all school employees and students, and for school districts to provide universal access to proper personal protective equipment (PPE). We believe these measures must be in place before schools should reopen; and
RESOLVED, that the AFT will call on governors to make free COVID-19 testing universally available to all school employees and students before giving the green light to open each state's public schools.

England's chief medical officer, Professor Dame Sally Davies, has said it is time to scrap "outdated rules" which ban NHS workers with HIV carrying out certain procedures on patients.
At the moment we bar totally safe healthcare workers who are on treatment with HIV from performing many surgical treatments, and that includes dentists.
What we want to do - and want to get over - is how society needs to move from thinking about HIV as positive or negative and thinking about HIV as a death sentence, to thinking about whether they're infectious or not infectious.
She said that with effective treatment "people are leading lives that are normal in quality and length".
"With effective treatment, they are not infectious," she added.

An early tournament clash of undefeateds goes Saturday in Tokyo.
After their 61-35 rout of the host nation Japan, the Canadian Women’s Basketball team is back in action against Germany, Saturday at 4 a.m. eastern.
In the match, Canada was led by their defence, never trailing while they registered six steals, two blocks, and held Japan to just 8.75 points per quarter.
On the other end of the floor, Kady Dandeneau led the Canadians for the second straight game, scoring 19 points, including nine points from deep, and nine rebounds. Dandeneau has been the top player on Canada so far in the tournament, piling up 51 points in the team’s first two games.
“Kady is just Kady,” said coach Marc Antoine Ducharme when asked about Dandeneau’s play.
“She can score from everywhere. She did an amazing job from the bench.”
Outside of Dandeneau, Arinn Young and Cindy Ouellet contributed, each getting into double digits, adding 10 rebounds apiece and playing stellar defence.
For the Canadians to stop the German attack, they will have to slow the offensive play of Mareike Miller, who finished with 30 points in their first match and 21 in the second, as well as her running mate Katharina Lang, who scored 16 points against Great Britain.
With a win over the Germans, Canada will sit comfortably in first place, securing their spot in the
quarterfinals and setting themselves up for a run at the podium.
As a team offensively, the red and white were able to shoot 44 per cent from three, an aspect they will need to keep up as their next opponent has yet to connect from beyond the arc.
Coming into the third match of their Tokyo 2020 campaign, both Canada and Germany will be in a tough match, something neither has experienced yet in these games.

The following article was published in The Guardian Weekly (05.02.10) by Joseph Stiglitz
Don’t leave Greece to die
Greece has been condemned by European officialdom for its huge deficits. “No government or state can expect from us any special treatment”, comes the warning Jean-Claude Trichet, president of the European Central Bank. But Trichet failed to note there had been a double standard: one for the large and powerful countries , another for the smaller and less powerful. Of course , Trichet may claim there is difference between what Greece and the many other countries that have brokent the limits have done. Greece’s large deficit has implications for the future of the citizens of Greece, but not for the stability of the euro-unlike a similarly large deficit on the part of one of the larger countries.
A large part of Greece’s deficit is the result of the global recession. Unfortunately, European leaders have compounded Greece’s problems. ……..
Instead, they should have welcomed the efforts of Greece’s new government. At least it has come clean about the dishonest accounting of its predecessors…… But Greece’s new prime minister George Papandreou, has always stood for transparent government. Europe should be coming to the assistance of this kind of leader, not making his life more difficult.
Greece is among the poorest of the European family. Part of the basis of the success of the European project is a sense of social solidarity, which entails coming to the assistance of those who are less fortunate. ………
Economic downturns often affect those in the periphery much worse – they are victims of their neighbours failures………….
For the sake of European solidarity and democracy, Europe should support Papandreou’s effort in every way it can, not turn its back on the people of Greece who must be convinced that supporting the government’s austerity measures is in everyone’s best Interest.
