In this two-part special on CBS's 60 minutes, Michael Lewis continues on his crusade of exposing Wall Street's massive delusion that it provides a service of value to society. "The incentives for people on Wall Street got so screwed up, that the
people who worked there became blinded to their own long term
interests. And because the short term interests were so overpowering.
And so they behaved in ways that were antithetical to their own long
term interests." His observations and conclusions are, as always, spot on.

The rating agency, whose "objectivity" was recently fully exposed after it has been persistently the one rater who refuses to downgrade Greece, even after its peers S&P and Fitch have made Greek bond eligibility for ECB collateral contingent purely on Moody's lack of conscience, is pretending that it has some credibility after all, by doing a little extra posturing, and grumbling that if things get much worse, it may, just may, consider dropping the US AAA rating. This, of course, despite Tim Geithner's promise that the US would only be downgraded over his dead body, or something like that. Furthermore, as we have recently learned, the FRBNY has a "proactive" influence in rating agency decisions. To assume that Mr. Brian Peters of the New York Fed would return a Moody's call and say "yes, we agree with your assumption that the US is not really AAA-worthy, please go ahead and downgrade us" requires copious amount of prior consumption of LSD and other hallucinogenics. Yet for those who still care about what output Moody's produces, here is the full relevant text discussing the outlook for the United States.
GATA Presents New Evidence Of The Fed's Gold Price Supression Scheme, Combing Through Oddly Unredacted FOMC MinutesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 03/14/2010 - 18:36
GATA's Adrian Douglas has done a tremendous job of combing through dozens of hundred-plus page FOMC transcripts, and has compiled numerous quotes by assorted FOMC-related personnel, including former Chairman Greenspan, which provides yet another piece of evidence, demonstrating the persistence of the Fed's gold price suppression scheme. As Douglas puts it: "My thinking was that if an organization is so inept at covering up that detailed transcripts were retained, then perhaps it is also inept at completely redacting sensitive and incriminating information. What I found is quite astounding and serves as documented evidence by the Federal Reserve itself that it manipulates the gold market." We present the relevant quotes dug up by Douglas, whom we applaud for his effort, together with his very relevant commentary, which once again exposes the Fed's covert gold price suppression intentions.
This weekend the New York Times has published an interesting observation of gender differences when quanitfying the intangible concept of "overconfidence" as it relates to stock trading. While the article throws a relatively minor wrench at the spoke of "efficient markets", we are following it up with a scientific paper by Wei Xiong and Jialin Yu, discussing the Chinese Warrant Bubble, in which speculative mania gripped the trading of warrants so deep out of the money that they were certifiably worthless, yet trading at an increasing turnover rate, and substantially inflated prices. With numerous unequivocal examples of bubbles in the history of capital markets, starting with Dutch tulip mania (1634-37), progressing through the Mississippi bubble (1719-20) the South Sea bubble (1720), the Internet bubble in the late 1990s, and the housing bubbles of the mid 2000s, it appears that human traders never learn from history as the speculative element overpowers rationality each and every time. The underlying premise: the hope that another greater fool will emerge. And emerge they do, until they don't, and markets collapse bidless. It is certainly easy to draw a parallel between the Chinese Warrant Bubble, and the trading of AIG, C, FNM, FRE and a whole slew of otherwise worthless companies, which on occasion make up over 30% of of the volume of the US stock market, which in turn drives the momentum that pushes the balance of all stocks. Another parallel: the entire US stock market is now one big "greater fool" trap waiting to spring once the greater fools have their fill of gambling fever.
Presenting an update of North American Investment Grade CDS. While Month To Date the credit market has ripped in line with equities, with just CTL and AA marginally wider for the period, Year to Date the vast number of names is still wider than at January 1, or at beast unchanged, demonstrating that credit is certainly not as enthused about the equity market activity over the past two and a half months.
Ultimately the biggest loser from the whole Repo 105 scandal may not be the perpetrators, i.e., Fuld, the firm's numerous CFOs, Tim Geithner and Mary Schapiro, but the alleged "fact-checkers" - auditors Ernst & Young. Just like Enron's Star Wars-based off balance sheet accounting gimmicks brought down Arthur Anderson, so "Repo 105" may likely be responsible for the downfall of E&Y. Although while in Enron's case, it was just the accounting that brought the firm down, in Lehman's case the confluence of numerous factors will render each individual one relatively less critical, potentially to the point of irrelevance. And while book cooking was just as big of an issue for Lehman as it was for Enron, the fact that the bank did pretty much every other borderline illegal thing possible, will take away focus from just the Repo 105 fiasco, or just the liquidity misrepresentations, or just the commercial real estate book mismarking, and so forth. So to facilitate a decision on E&Y culpability, we present a candid look at Ernst & Young's Financial Services Office, the company's presentation on Paragraph 10 of IAS 39 overseeing Repo agreements, E&Ys analysis of FAS 140 "Accounting for Financial Transfers and Repurchase Financial Transactions", the Examiner's conclusions on the firm's breach of conduct, the firm's soon to be dwindling banking client base, and last, and most certainly least, a snapshot of E&Y's Lehman co-lead partner, Hillary Hansen, against whose negligent actions, as part of the Lehman E&Y practice, the Examiner concludes "that sufficient evidence exists to support a colorable claim for malpractice."
"Virtually no one was calling for this kind of rally a year ago. But it happened. So investors are either seeing the “green shoots” supposedly sprouting from the moribund economy or believe that they’re about to break ground any day now. That sentiment is continually reinforced by government officials and media talking heads who almost universally proclaim that “the worst is past,” “we’re back from the brink,” or other words to that effect. It’s often said that stock market action is a leading indicator, reflecting what investors think the economy will be like six or nine months down the road. Are they right? Will good times soon be here again? Or is this just a big dead?cat bounce?" - Doug Hornig
We already know that the Federal Reserve System was blind, mute, dumb, and frankly, retarded when it came to Lehman's Repo 105, and pretty much every other aspect of the Lehman collapse. As the Examiner discloses: "Secretary Geithner “did not recall being aware of” Lehman’s Repo 105 program", "Jan Voigts, who was an Examining Officer in FRBNY’s Bank Supervision Department, had no knowledge of Lehman removing assets from its balance sheet at or near quarter?end via a repo trade", "Arthur Angulo, who was a Senior Vice President in FRBNY’s Bank Supervision department, likewise was unaware that Lehman engaged in repo transactions at quarter?end" although the latter did point out that "the described repo transactions appeared to go “beyond other types of [permissible] balance sheet management.” And lastly, "Thomas Baxter, FRBNY General Counsel, had no knowledge of Repo 105 transactions, either by name or design." Yet it is these clowns that want to become America's uber-regulator. Now that is funny, considering that at the apex of the greatest cataclysm for the financial industry, the Fed was blissfully unaware of one of the most egregious book cooking scams ever conducted by a Wall Street firm. Yet with all the Fed's bells and whistles, with all its Bloomberg terminals, all its fancy daytraders, all its Flash trading enabled momentum chasing algos, one central bank, half way around the world, knew all too well what was going on at Lehman - the Reserve Bank of Australia. Which is why we nominate the RBA's chair, Glenn Stevens, to be direct supervisor of the entire ungodly and corrupt mess that is Wall Street (and to make Ben Bernanke his butler). We also strongly endorse the nomination of Amanda Drury to supersede that of Janet Yellen, as the Fed's new chair of vice. At least she will bring some inflationary pressures to the Marriner Eccles building.
How Lehman, With The Fed's Complicity, Created Another Illegal Precedent In Abusing The Primary Dealer Credit FacilitySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 03/13/2010 - 15:44
Five months ago, Zero Hedge observed the nuances of the Federal Reserve's Primary Dealer Credit Facility (PDCF) and concluded that this artificial liquidity boosting construct was nothing more than yet another scam to allow banks to extract ever more money from taxpayers, with the complicit blessing of the Federal Reserve Board Of New York (as the original piece also provided an in-depth discussion of the triparty repo market which is now a parallel to the buzzword of the day in the form of Lehman's "Repo 105" off balance sheet contraption, it should serve as a useful refresher course to anyone who wishes to understand why while Repo 105 with its $50 billion in liability contingency may have been an issue, the true Repo market, with over $3 trillion of likely just as toxic assets, is where the real pain in the future will come from). The PDCF would allow assets of declining and even inexistent value to be pledged as collateral, thus making sure that taxpayer cash was funneled into sham institutions holding predominantly toxic assets, and whose viability was and is limited, yet still is backed by the Fed, which to this day continues to pour our money into them. Today, with a tip from the NYT's Eric Dash, we demonstrate just how grossly negligent the Federal Reserve was when it came to Lehman's abuse of the PDCF, and how the trail of slime of Lehman's increasingly obvious manipulation of its books goes to the very top of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and its then governor - a very much complicit Tim Geithner.
Just in case you thought there was any confuction about which way the Goldman propaganda wheel turns: "Investors we met this week remain bullish in both outlook and positioning, consistent with our view. We expect S&P 500 to rise to 1300 by mid-year (+13%), before ending 2010 at 1250 (+9%)." So it was spoken and so it shall be. Amen.
Sprott's Last Decade Retrospective: It’s Déjà Voodoo Economics... All Over Again - This Weekend's Must ReadSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 03/13/2010 - 01:12
If you’re of a certain age, chances are you remember exactly where you were when JFK was assassinated. Similarly, if you’re from Canada or the United States and have an even remote interest in hockey, it’s highly likely that you remember exactly where you were when ‘Sid the Kid’ scored the winning overtime goal in the Olympic gold medal game. These were both "significant events", albeit for different reasons. We wonder, however, if any of you recall where you were on September 18th, 2008? Do you remember that day? We can’t seem to recall it either, which is strange, because it was one of the most important days of the decade. October 7, 2008 is another day that should stick out in our memories, but we’re sure you don’t remember that day either – and we’re in the same boat. How is it, then, that we can’t recall where we were or what we were doing on the two days the entire financial system almost collapsed?!? It boggles our mind. These dates should have been emphasized in every "review of the decade" written at the end of 2009, but we’ve been hard pressed to find them mentioned in any mainstream publication. This is troubling to us, and makes us wonder if people are even aware of the incredible events that took place on those fateful days only eighteen months ago. - Eric Sprott And David Franklin
We present two rather amusing research reports by then-Merrill Lynch Securities Broker/Dealer analyst Guy Moszkowski, discussing Lehman Brothers. Just because with financial analysts like this, who needs a shotgun Bank of America bail out. Oh yeah, Merrill. We also present a soundbite by Fox Pitt Kelton "analyst" David Trone, who, based on his extensive experience determines that David Einhorn, who nailed Lehman, is "looking at data from an inexperienced standpoint; investment banks are very complicated." Oh yes, David, they are indeed. In fact, please give us your mailing address, so we can dispatch this particular piece of literature you so richly deserve.

Celiac Disease Not a Big Factor in Gastro-esophageal Reflux Disease
Celiac.com 05/21/2015 - Some studies have indicated higher rates of reflux in patients with celiac disease, but there hasn't really been any clear data on the risk for celiac disease in patients presenting with reflux.
A team of researchers recently set out to determine rates of celiac disease in patients with GORD, and to better understand the nature of reflux symptoms in newly diagnosed celiac disease patients.
The research team included P.D. Mooney, K.E. Evans, M. Kurien, A.D. Hopper, and D.S. Sanders. They are affiliated with the Regional GI and Liver Unit, Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield, South Yorks, UK.
The team divided the patients into groups as follows:
Group A included 3368 patients who had undergone routine duodenal biopsy, and prospectively recruited between 2004 and 2014. Researchers compared these results with those of a screening control group.
Group B included 32 patients with newly diagnosed celiac disease who had undergone esophageal manometry and 24-h pH studies, prospectively recruited.
The results showed the following:
Of the 3368 patients in Group A who received routine duodenal biopsy, 850 (25.2%) presented with GORD.
Rates of celiac disease among GORD patients was just 1.3% (0.7-2.4%), about the same as in the general population (P=0.53).
Routine duodenal biopsy at endoscopy showed that reflux was negatively associated with celiac disease, with an adjusted odds ratio of 0.12 (0.07-0.23), P<0.0001.
In group B, about one third of patients complained of reflux. Manometry showed that just under 10% had a hypotensive lower esophageal sphincter, and 40.6% had esophageal motor abnormalities, with 25% showing significant hypocontraction. Also, pH study did show that one in three did in fact suffer reflux episodes.
The main takeaway from this study is that GORD patients have undiagnosed celiac disease at about the same rate as the general population, and so routine duodenal biopsy cannot be recommended for patients with GORD.
Interestingly, pH/manometry studies showed a fairly high percentage of newly diagnosed celiac patients with reflux and/or esophageal dysmotility; which might explain the high prevalence of reflux symptoms in celiac disease.

Hi! Since I've done this image i got a lot of requests for prints, and today Deviant Art was lovely enough to do a sale for print artist. What that means is a pretty good sale for you. A 10 × 15 inch matte/glossy/lustre print can be yours for 10$ (For US shoppers, I'm unsure if the cost is more outside of the US) this includes shipping.

Fran Di Giacomo
Artist, Author & Speaker
Fran Di Giacomo (pronounced de-JOCK-o-mo) is an award-winning artist represented by galleries and art publishers. She has been published in books, magazines, and newspapers, including Who’s Who of American Women, Who’s Who in American Art, and The Best of Portrait Painting. Her renowned portraiture includes such notables as former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Warren Burger, former President George W. Bush, and sports figures Emmitt Smith and Mavericks’ Dirk Nowitzki.
Pursuing her art career, the Dallas artist was most excited by classical realism and the Dutch masters. She sought living masters to study with, including Paul Leveille, David Leffel, and a unique opportunity with Howard Terpning.
Her still life paintings are in great demand for their lush colors and dramatic lighting. To test a painting for the drama she seeks, Di Giacomo literally turns out the light. Perfecting the mystery of light and shadow has been a constant goal. “The light in a client’s home is constantly changing, so my paintings take on a different personality with every situation. In today’s fast-paced world, our senses are constantly assaulted by the noisy, the vulgar, the grotesque. I want to create beautiful paintings that fill a room with grace and dignity.”
As a “career member of the chemo club”, Fran was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1984 and ovarian cancer in 1998. Through double-digit surgeries and nearly continuous chemo, she earned signature status in Oil Painters of America, produced numerous exhibits, and painted prestigious portraits. She built a national reputation while keeping her cancer secret. She continued to take on commissioned paintings with deadlines and to make other commitments that would require her to work regardless of pain, fatigue or hospital stays. “I was afraid that if I walked into a gallery with a new painting, they’d be looking at my new wig instead. I was living my fairy tale and I wanted to keep the focus on the artwork.”
Plans for a book of her paintings took a detour and became a book designed to help cancer patients find their own fairy-tale. Frequent requests for advice led her to write I’d Rather Do Chemo Than Clean Out the Garage: Choosing Laughter Over Tears. Fran is outrageously witty, slightly wicked, and packed with inspiration and trench-warfare wisdom. She gives serious tools for handling a personal crisis, and a powerful message about life and laughter.
“Art is my passion, my sanity, my nirvana. When I sit down at the easel, all the pain and questions in my life wash away as my mind is consumed with the painting in front of me. I live in two separate worlds. It’s my paradox to balance a devastating disease with elegant, serene paintings.” said Di Giacomo.

Houses of Healing: A Prisoner’s Guide to Inner Power and Freedom is a groundbreaking book (available in both English and Spanish) for prisoner healing and (re)habilitation. Houses of Healing deals directly with root causes of crime, violence, and addiction and offers a practical approach to emotional growth that speaks specifically to the challenges facing incarcerated men and women. Having worked with hundreds of inmates in Massachusetts prisons for over eight years, author Robin Casarjian, a veteran teacher and counselor, developed the emotional literacy curriculum/ program presented in Houses of Healing. From the outset of her work in prisons, it was clear to Ms. Casarjian that until prisoners were able to heal issues that were, for many, at the root of their criminal and addictive behavior, they would be unable to extract themselves successfully from the criminal justice system. It was also obvious that resources for prisoner rehabilitation were sorely needed. In 1992, she founded The Lionheart Foundation for the purpose of making her emotional literacy curriculum/program available to prisoners around the country. To achieve this goal, in 1995 the Lionheart Foundation funded the publication and free distribution of Houses of Healing: A Prisoner’s Guide to Inner Power and Freedom. This project, called the National Emotional Literacy Project for Prisoners [link], continues to expand today. How It Works Houses of Healing offers an in-depth program in emotional habilitation and personal growth as well as the consistent encouragement needed to engage successfully in this challenging and demanding process. The author draws the reader in by speaking clearly and directly to the situations and feelings that most all incarcerated men and women struggle with. Numerous firsthand accounts of prisoners who have worked the program are interspersed throughout the book. In Houses of Healing, prisoners learn how to confront issues such as childhood wounding, grieving, managing anger, facing the impact of crime, and taking ultimate responsibility for themselves and their actions. The program offers guidance in stress management techniques and healthy, practical coping strategies. It addresses, in depth, the necessity of self-forgiveness and forgiveness of others subjects that are often overlooked and misunderstood despite the fact that they are essential to the cultivation of empathy and emotional and spiritual maturity. Guiding prisoners toward a restored sense of self in a context of respect, encouragement, and inspiration, Houses of Healing combines essential tools for change with a deep understanding of the challenges facing the offender population. Houses of Healing: A Prisoner’s Guide to Inner Power and Freedom can be used, as thousands are using it today, independently or in group courses in many settings and formats. Prisoners use the book for self-study over months and even years. Counselors and chaplains use Houses of Healing to complement their treatment programs and/or create entirely new programs. Houses of Healing courses are led by mental health and substance abuse counselors, chaplains, volunteers, and even prisoners. (For additional guidance or assistance, they often use The Houses of Healing Training Manual and the Houses of Healing Educational and Training Video Series.)

Cross-border finance provider Finaro has announced a new partnership with online payments enabler Ginger Payments.
The deal will see Finaro provide its suite of acquiring and transaction routing capabilities to its partner.
As a reason for the joint venture both companies pointed to the surge in eCommerce volumes across Europe and the growing demand for end-to-end payment solutions among banks and fintechs.
Joachim de Boer, Chief Operating Officer of Ginger, said: “By combining forces with Finaro, we’ve created a dynamic collaboration, offering a complete one-stop-shop for payment components, covering every APM from Apple Pay to QR code.”
A complete infrastructure of PSP solutions will be offered to merchants who want to enable customer card payments and AMP transactions.
Ginger’s CCO added: “From end to end, Ginger’s cloud-based API strengths and our full-stack eCommerce payment offering give clients the ability to build a new solution, replace their current solution completely, or add innovative new modules to their existing services. We also provide transaction approval optimization, and enhanced data insights to drive future growth.”
Finaro explained that its solution suite will provide Ginger with the ability to offer “payment gateways, AML-compliant onboarding, plugins, merchant omni-channel dashboards, reconciliation and settlement,” and “comprehensive reporting overviews”.
The partnership will first focus on the Nordics region and will target financial institutions and fintechs looking to compete with PSPs.
Achiya Fried, Chief Commercial Officer at Finaro, said: “It’s exciting to see our footprint in the Nordics grow, and we are delighted to be partnering with Ginger on growing even further.
“Finaro’s smart acquiring services, robust gateway platform and exceptional track record in boosting transaction approval rates will elevate Ginger’s presence, enabling them to offer white-labelled transformational PSP services that will open up access to new markets and opportunities for all parties involved.”
Ginger Payments was acquired by software provider Ximedes in June this year, further expanding the width of its services.
Ruben Frimand Nielsen, VP of Sales & Business Development for the Nordics at Finaro, commented: “The partnership between Finaro and Ginger is a market-beating collaboration, offering a ready-made suite of PSP solutions for banks and fintechs that want to offer the full spectrum of payment services to their clients.
“Ximedes’ software development capabilities, Ginger’s SaaS proposition, and Finaro’s acquiring and gateway solutions combine to offer powerful and flexible PSP solutions that help banks and fintechs drive the next wave of merchant growth.”
Ximedes’ Business Development Manager Adil Yahyaouy also made a statement, suggesting that there is a “gap in the market” that the new partnership will aim to address.
He said: “There is a clear gap in the market where banks and fintechs wanting to provide end-to-end payment services to their customers have difficulty accessing the right mix of technical components, easy-to-use APIs, access to APMs, and in-depth personalised support.
“With Finaro’s game-changing technology and its acquiring services, we can now step into that gap and provide everything banks and fintechs need to transform themselves into PSPs.”

Deciding to stop using drugs is the first step in addiction recovery. The next step is to find the best drug rehab San Jose has to offer.
Conveniently situated in the Greater San Jose area / Silicon Valley, luxury drug addiction treatment Summit Estate Recovery Centers facilities are conveniently located in serene, natural settings.
Summit Estate’s Saratoga and Palo Alto inpatient detoxification and residential treatment facilities offer acres of gardens & orchards and greens for recreation and relaxation.
Summit Estate specializes in providing individualized care and providing each of their clients with the specific support they need for sober life outside of treatment.
When evaluating drug rehab San Jose facilities, consider the following:
- Client to Staff Ratio – The client to staff ratio at an addiction treatment facility can play a large role in the amount of personal attention a client receives. It is important to find a center that is adequately staffed for the number of clients they have. Personal attention and individualized treatment translates into a better residential rehab experience and higher success rates.
- Amenities – Research has shown that a luxury treatment facility provides the ideal environment for drug addiction treatment. A luxury treatment facility will provide a number of amenities to help clients feel comfortable during their inpatient treatment. A high level of comfort will, in turn, allow clients to relax and focus on recovering from their addiction. Important amenities to look for include exercise facilities, personal services such as massage and acupuncture, highly appointed accommodations and gourmet meals are indicative of a luxury facility.
- Individualized Care – No two people are the same. Despite being addicted to the same substance, different people will have different backgrounds and differing goals for addiction treatment. Because of this, each person needs a treatment care plan that is uniquely theirs. A standardized approach to addiction recovery is not successful and can actually turn clients away from treatment. Look for addiction recovery centers that build treatment plans with the help of the inpatient client. This partnership ensures the client gets what they want out of treatment.
- Program Offerings – Many people are familiar with 12 step programs. These type of peer led programs build upon a person’s faith and provide ongoing support through group meetings. Although many people have found success with the 12 step approach, they are not for everyone. For individuals who have previously been unsuccessful with 12 step programs or who have lifestyles that are not compatible with ongoing meetings, a non 12 step approach may be ideal. CBT style, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing the way a person thinks in order to change their behavior.
- Customized Detoxification – For a large number of people who have a substance abuse addiction, the thought of detoxification is terrifying. Many people associate detox with the pain, discomfort and physical illness that occurs with withdrawal. Customized detoxification, done under the care of a physician addresses this fear. By customizing the detox process, clients are able to become clean without enduring pain. Detoxification can be done in a comfortable and controlled manner, which leads to clients being able to begin treatment sooner and with a clear mind.
- Clean Living – A high quality drug rehab San Jose treatment center will focus on a clean lifestyle that extends to all areas of a person’s life. What a person eats, their level of stress and their physical activity all enter into a clean lifestyle. After treatment, it is important that clients establish clean living habits in all areas of their life.
As a small private rehab center, Summit Estate limits the number of clients at one time.
Our Saratoga location has two Private & three Semi-private suites, and our new Palo Alto location has four Private & two Semi-private suites.
We use our best clinical judgement and clinical needs of the incoming client and resident groups as the guide as to which facility is best for which client.
This structure allows the 30 member staff to focus on the specific needs of each individual client.
Summit Estate accepts PPO insurance policies from most major carriers. By accepting insurance, the treatment offered by Summit Estate can become realistic for many budgets.

Beijing unveiled plans on Tuesday that will allow U.S. investors to directly access China’s financial markets, a move that could encourage U.S. investment in Chinese stocks and bonds by making it cheaper and easier to buy and sell these securities.
Chinese officials, after two days of high-level talks with their U.S. counterparts, said U.S. investors are being offered a quota of 250 billion yuan ($38 billion) to buy Chinese stocks and bonds. That quota is second only to the 270 billion yuan for Hong Kong, a Chinese city that operates under its own laws. U.S. firms are expected to receive licenses before the end of the year, according to the U.S. Treasury.
That new access to Chinese markets could help establish the U.S. as a major trading hub for the yuan. Individual U.S. investors could get exposure through funds but wouldn’t be able to participate directly.
Chinese officials also said that Beijing and Washington will designate one Chinese and one U.S. bank as clearing banks in the U.S. for settling yuan transactions.


Man arrested for attempted rape and robbery
BROOME COUNTY, N.Y. -- An Endicott man was arrested and charged with attempted rape and robbery. Police say they responded to a call last night from a woman who was walking along Delaware Avenue in the Town of Union. The woman told police that a man tried to rape her and stole her purse.
A short time later, police arrested Futahi Hampton at a nearby convenience store. He's being held at the Broome County Correctional facility without bail.


The TORCH Forum is addressed for all university leadership and for those actors engaged in R&I, university-industry-citizen collaboration. It is also relevant for policymakers, as the European Commission’s perspective will be included. Other University Alliances will be invited to participate.
In this first of a series of EUA workshops on digital transformation in higher education and research, a select group of university leaders will share best practices and engage in a Europe-wide discussion focusing on institutional policies.
This event will also foster discussion on the development of holistic strategies that allow institutions to harness the potential of digital transformation and the fundamental questions that this raises for university leaders.

Sheffield Green Party have submitted the following comment on the Winter Maintenance consultation.
“Sheffield Green Party believes that the priority of the Winter Maintenance service should be to ensure that pedestrians and public transport can continue moving during periods of wintery weather. These are precisely the forms of transport that people rely on when unable to use private cars. We therefore welcome the inclusion of roads which “[form] part of a major SYPTE bus route” within the proposed criteria for the council’s Priority 2 precautionary gritting routes. However, we are concerned that the proposals to remove some grit bins and to cease recruitment of snow wardens will remove two of the key ways in which local people who want to offer something to their community can work to keep their footways clear and safe during wintery weather. Removing these relatively cost-effective services risks making pedestrian travel more difficult and dangerous during these times.
We also note that wintery weather is only one of example of an extreme weather event that can jeopardise residents’ ability to move around Sheffield’s highway and footway network. Other examples are flash flooding from heavy rainfall, trees falling across the road in high winds, and tarmac melting during heatwaves. It is likely that these types of events will become both more frequent and more severe in future due to climate change. It is therefore important that the council thinks more broadly about how it can ensure that Sheffield’s transport network is flexible and resilient enough to deal with these challenges.”

These grasses were cut down this weekend to complete our fall garden chores.
I was up with the chickens this morning and washed a load of perma-press clothing, fed the chickens, posted a story on our blog about our homestead and baked a black raspberry crisp to have with our lunch today. The crisp is a special treat for my husband for our 18th anniversary that we celebrated on November 30th. In addition to making him happy, there is a great deal of satisfaction in knowing that these tasty berries are our own black raspberries from our garden patch that I picked and froze last summer.
A December snapshot after the grasses have been cut down at the pool shack.
Gene shoveled the driveway while I cleaned out the chicken coop and began our lunch. I am making Alaskan salmon patties to have with left over sweet potatoes and a tossed salad today. Gene popped Sassy in the truck for her run and combined a trip to the recycle stations while I swept the floors. Our plan is to get to work on the outdoor project this afternoon that was delayed due to the snow.
Taking advantage of the snowmelt to cut back the ornamental grasses.
With winter coming on so early this year combined with our two-week long get-away trips we did not finish all of the outdoor garden work. So today when the weatherman predicted a 30 to 40 degree warm up with sunshine we decided we had better get right on cutting down the last of the ornamental grasses.
The side garden at our simple and basic farm-stead type swimming pool.
I know some gardeners leave the grasses up all winter for interest and for the birds to eat their seeds but over the years we have found it works best for us to cut ours down in the fall. The songbirds have plenty to eat at our year-round bird bed & breakfast bar!
This is our big compost bin where we toss the tougher grasses to compost. They often take two years to break down. Our Vermont Cart is indispensible for such garden clean up projects.
Here in the land of 6 ft. snowfall the grasses tend to get beat down anyway from the heavy snow fall. While I am more of a cut them down with your hands kind of person, Gene prefers to saw them off with the electric hedge trimmer. It’s a guy thing! He wraps them in a rope, saws the canes off and I toss them into the Vermont Cart and haul them off to the larger compost bin.
The chickens free ranging in their fenced in pen.
I let the chickens out to free range and we began the garden project.

Iranian media covering the meeting in Tehran, the speaker of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation with the country’s President Hassan Rouhani and other senior officials, have stalled, trying to determine what’s in a name “Valentina Matviyenko” is the name, and that name. The absence of patronymics in the Iranian tradition has led to the fact that the guest from Moscow was called the “Russian letters”, “Matvienko”.
Visit Ivanovna in the Iranian capital on 13 November was announced by the newspaper Trend, noting that a meeting with the Minister of foreign Affairs and the Iranian fellow parliamentarians will discuss opportunities to strengthen regional, international and parliamentary cooperation between the two countries.
The English-language Iran Daily called the speaker of the Federation Council that “Ivanovna”, “Matvienko”. “Russian Ivanovna held high-level talks with Iranian officials” – under such heading the newspaper published the report of a two-day visit.
The news Agency FARS almost done with a daunting task. The text of the news Moscow guest named familiar to the Russian ear, but in the caption to the photographon which the policies of Russia in the closed dress and a headscarf talking with President Rouhani, stated that we are talking about Matvienko. A site Jam News uses in the publication of the homonymous tag – Matviyenko.
As told the newspaper “the Golden ring” Senator Victor Rogotsky, it was a return visit of the parliamentary delegation. In April, Moscow was visited by representatives of the new composition of the Majlis of Iran headed by Chairman Ali Larijani.
“Especially important was the meeting with the President. Hassan Rouhani in fact, the figure is relatively closed, it takes few people: so he paid attention neither to Sergey Naryshkin, the then Chairman of the state Duma of Russia, did not find time for a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin. Valentina Ivanovna also discussed a wide range of issues from the situation in Syria and the fight against international terrorism to economic cooperation”, – said the Senator.
Rouhani at the meeting stated that the current relations between Russia and Iran, as well as between leaders of the two countries, the good and kind over the past decade. “It’s not only about the ongoing construction of the now 2nd and 3rd blocks at the nuclear power station in Bushehr, but also the creation of a joint Russian-Iranian Bank in the long term to abolish visas for the citizens of our countries, especially for tourist groups. Of course, not all radiant, there was certain altercation during the meeting, the President expressed the wish for a quick release of militants in Aleppo. But Valentina, in turn, wished to hurry to complete the formation of the credit in 5 billion dollars which Russia allocated for the construction of transiransky railway, designed to securely bind our two countries,” added the Senator.


This hour of sweet music composed by Abdullah Ibrahim includes dedicatory ballads, festive celebrations, and impressions of his homeland. With his “Cape Town to Congo Square” in three movements, he’s documented the bridge between his birthplace and New Orleans. Common threads enable this ambassador of modern jazz to spread the word about this music all over the world. In effect, he’s carrying with him the memory of Duke Ellington’s creations.
As fiery South African trumpeter Feya Faku joins the trio, you can feel the rhythmic appeal of his and Ibrahim’s roots. “Soweto” starts your foot tapping and your hands moving. It’s something that cannot be harnessed. That rhythmic quality pervades today as it did two hundred years ago.
Classical Spanish dance, the urban New York nightlife, personal dreams and hopes, visions of exotic lands, and wishes for world unity show up throughout this newly reissued program. Ibrahim, bassist Marcus McLaurine and drummer George Gray interpret these ideas accordingly and with cohesion. Ibrahim has a powerful, magnetic pull, when it comes to interpreting musical thoughts. He leaves the audience with much food for reflection. The 1997 concert, from which this recording was made, marked a homecoming for the pianist. Consequently, the session settles down with its inner thoughts and affords the listener a fine opportunity for continued reflection.

Gia Coppola is following in her grandfather Frances Ford Coppola and aunt Sofia Coppola's footsteps by breaking into the directing business.
The 23 year old got behind the camera to shoot a short film featuring The Like for Zac Posen's new Target collection.
Posen met the young director when she was just 14 and believes "She’s going to be the next Coppola force to be reckoned with. They just genetically, aesthetically, have something—they’re able to capture magic."
After seeing this video, we think so too!

The sometimes-volatile yet supremely talented rapper has been hard at work recording his new album in Paris, and apparently, has few very creative, larger than life tricks up his sleeve for how he's going to begin its promotional campaign!
Which, of course, started last night, when he projected a video of himself performing his brand new single, New Slaves, onto the sides of 66 BUILDINGS LOCATED ALL OVER THE WORLD!
Ch-ch-check out to what the folks of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, were treated on the corner of Bedford and N. 7 (above)!


At a town hall held this week, discussion centered on whether to build much-needed student housing on a Berkeley tract of land long used for extensive research.
Cal's undergraduate student population increased 15% in the last decade. The university is making some progress, although slow, at adding more housing.
Faced with a student housing crisis in the middle of a general housing crisis, Cal is jumping on public-private partnerships with local developers.
With housing prices so high, many Cal students have to compromise on where they live. Some are sleeping in unsavory conditions.
Safe Time has so far placed four people or families experiencing housing insecurity in private homes for short-term stays.
Zoning board members have asked developer Realtex to rethink plans for an 8-story, 39-unit building on Telegraph, which is slated to replace quirky indoor mall "The Village."
People's Park could see some student housing under a proposed UC plan.
“This reopening, and the return of Bowles to its pioneering roots, represents a major step toward an entirely new undergraduate experience on the Berkeley campus,” said Chancellor Nicholas Dirks of the 1929 historic building's new life.
I went to Kingman Co-Op at 1730 La Loma Ave. on graduation weekend to photograph the front door for a post-in-progress about painted doors. On the way to the door, I found this wonderful toad mural on the garage door.
The University is poised to approve what may be its largest student housing project to date, the Stiles Student Housing project, in the form of this behemoth of a structure providing 783 beds for students on one of few remaining University parking lots, on Bancroft, just west of Telegraph. Although our City needs more housing, we need to make sure that we’re building the right kinds of housing, in the right quantities for the right sites. This enormous project is too much, too high, and too dense. Perhaps more importantly, it does not account for the impacts that result from building from property line to property line and closing the heavily used parking lot.
Update, Nov. 19, 5:58 p.m. We hear from David Stark, executive director of Stiles Hall, a bit more about the organization’s plans and perspective: “We would like to let our hundreds of supporters know that Stiles Hall has been in negotiations on this since its inception. We are excited about getting a new modern space in the development which will continue to be owned by Stiles Hall, independent of the University. They will also give us a nearby space to continue operations for the two years it’s being built. Overall, we couldn’t be more pleased.”


Harrogate Town 2 Vauxhall Motors 0
CARL Macauley took his new-look Motors side to Harrogate full of optimism but his young team returned having learned how difficult their Blue Square North season will be.
The Motormen, skippered by the experienced former Tranmere, Manchester City and Motherwell player Ged Brannan, enjoyed a fair amount of possession in their opening game of the season but lacked that cutting edge in front of goal.
Debutant keeper James Coates, a former Mansfield stopper who last turned out for Moor Green, pulled off a fine early save from Harrogate’s prolific striker Danny Holland.
On 18 minutes another Motorman debutant, James Holden, was unlucky with a sweetly taken free-kick which went just wide of the home keeper’s left-hand post.
Just as Motors had settled down, they were the victims of a harsh penalty decision on 33 minutes, when Lee Dames was adjudged to have brought down Matty Young.
Captain Darren Dunning slotted the penalty past Coates to give Harrogate the lead.
Motors continued to push forward with Matty Burke and Tom Rooney both having decent chances before the interval.
After the break, Motors passed the ball about smoothly but just couldn’t finish.
Pat McFadden put in a good cross on 51 minutes but there was no-one making a run to meet the ball in the box.
Holden and Rooney had further chances for Motors as they grew in confidence but on 75 minutes it was Dunning again who made it 2-0 for Harrogate.
Hesitancy at the back allowed him the space to connect with a cross from Marshall eight yards out.
Having hosted Stafford Rangers at the Motassist Arena last night as the Pioneer went to press, Vauxhall’s play their second home game this Saturday when Redditch come calling (3pm kick-off).
Vauxhall: Coates, Owens, Dames, Brannan, Griffiths, Holmes, Holden, Burke, McFadden, Rooney, Smith.
Subs: Nelson, Wright, Noone, Hannigan, Dickinson.

Aldi will be supporting charities throughout the UK by donating almost 400,000 meals to people in need during the Easter school holidays.
As a founding member of Marcus Rashford’s Child Food Poverty Taskforce, the supermarket has paired its stores up with local charities, community groups and foodbanks to donate surplus food, prioritising donations to those focused on feeding children.
Around 149 tonnes of food will be donated throughout the UK, with more than 250,000 meals expected to be donated to causes supporting families and children in need.
The donation is part of Aldi’s commitment to donate 10 million meals across the country in 2021, in partnership with community giving platform Neighbourly.
So far this year, Aldi stores across the UK have already donated more than two million meals to good causes.
Mary Dunn, Managing Director of Corporate Responsibility at Aldi UK, said: “We’re proud to support good causes across the country, helping them to provide meals to those in need over the Easter period.
“At a time when more people are experiencing financial hardship and food insecurity due to Covid-19, we are committed to doing what we can to donate more meals in 2021 than ever before.”
Steve Butterworth, from Neighbourly, added: “The school holidays are often a busy time for the nation’s charities and food banks. I’m sure Aldi’s donations will be a massive help for so many of these vital organisations.”
Aldi is spreading the festive cheer and bringing together local communities by donating Christmas lunches to those in low-income areas across the UK.
Britain’s fourth-largest supermarket is working in partnership with Company Shop Group to provide free Christmas dinners at Community Shops in the run-up to Christmas.
Aldi has announced when its stores will be open over Christmas and New Year.
From Monday 18th December to Saturday 23rd December, shoppers can visit Aldi stores between 7am and 10pm to pick up everything they need to celebrate Christmas, at the lowest possible prices.

You do not need to buy any musical instrument. You can just sit at home and create a whole lot of musical beats by using a music beat maker or a beat making software.
Benefits of Beat Making Software:
The usual way of making music calls for going to a music studio complete with your fellow musicians and musical supplies to record your music composition. You can just imagine the cost of paying the musicians, the studio, and paying for the instruments at the beginning without even knowing if you can break even, much less profit from your recordings.
With music making software, all you really need is your personal computer, although you may have to upgrade to a high quality sound system for your computer when you begin to create your own music. With the conventional instruments, it would take you weeks or even months to learn, but with the music making software, you will find out that it is very intuitive with a user-friendly interface that can easily follow your instructions, and you can create several musical beats just on your first sitting.
This software costs anywhere between $30 – $50, and this is definitely lower than purchasing your own musical instruments. It comes with video tutorials that would easily guide you through the instructions step-by-step. So, you see, even for beginners, composing and making your own music can be fun and easy, and it really does not require experience in doing so.

The Internet has opened itself to the music beat maker that affords people the chance to also learn how to make music. The creativity of the person is enhanced and developed here with the use of the music making software and more and more people become motivated to make and produce their own music. Music lovers are also given the chance to be exposed and learn the different music genres, from hip-hop to pop, from ballad to classical, and may even give them a chance to be famous for the works they create.
The music making software is gaining ground in the realm of music lovers and enthusiasts. Professionally done quality music is now made possible by this software in the comfort of your home, and in front of your computer, you can create different melodies and tunes that can be completed in no time at all, and at the same time achieving high quality music.

6018 Penn Circle South, East Liberty
412-404-8166 or www.paris66bistro.com
Had local history played out differently — had the French somehow kept the city's Point from falling into British hands roughly 250 years ago — we might all be speaking French today. And after visiting Paris 66, as many City Paper readers have done, you'll come away thinking that might not have been a bad outcome at all.
Opened in 2009 by Fred Roniger and his wife, Lori, this East Liberty bistro's very name suggests how much our cultures have in common. For starters, it's not entirely coincidental that "66" is the jersey number of a certain well-known French-Canadian hockey player.
And even if you've never been to France, the ambiance will feel familiar. Warm yellow walls decorated with Toulouse-Lautrec posters of 19th-century floor shows? Check. Art Nouveau Paris Metro signage? Check. Edith Piaf on the sound system as you peruse the extensive wine list? Mais oui.
Elsewhere, such decor might come off precious. But Paris 66 proves its authenticity right up front. The open kitchen is just to the right of the front door, and native Parisian Roniger hires countrymen to work in it, like executive chef Larry Laffont and pastry chef David Piquard.
One thing you won't find here is the stereotypical snooty French waiter. I can attest that the staff responds gently to even the most naïve inquiries, and the menu bills itself as speaking in "English, with a French accent." In a laudably diplomatic gesture to local tastes, it even offers a Continental version of that Pittsburgh favorite, the steak salad.
(If your date still bridles at trying French cuisine, start him with a lunchtime croque — the French answer to the sandwich. Ham, cheese, potatoes — all given continental sophistication imparted by ingredients like béchamel sauce.)
Thanks to an egg allergy, I'm deprived of many dishes often associated with French food: crepes and quiche and the like. But the menu offers plenty of compensations. For one, it leaves me room to try the soups, which are a strength at Paris 66, as in much French cuisine. Take the cream of mushroom, with its artful swirl of cream on the surface — and an earthy sweetness throughout. Meat dishes and seafood too are richly flavored, dispelling any perception you might have of French fussiness. Paris 66 bills itself as "everyday French cooking," and it offers not just elaborate preparations, but honest cooking done very, very well.
And though I can only look on, I'm told the macaroons are exquisite.
Be advised that waits can be long at peak hours, like the popular Sunday brunch. But also be advised that bakery items — croissants and tarts, baguettes and the house coffee — can be purchased to go.
Merci beaucoup, as they say in North Versailles. Or that's what they would be saying, had history the same good taste as our readers.

one of my favourite stalls in salcedo market is la cuisine francaise, which sells a very nice assortment of homemade french specialties like patés, quiches, apple tartine, pissaladiere, some lovely stews, ratatouille, and some kicking lasagne (not french, but darned good). i generally skip the majority of their baked goods because there are so many other bakeries around, but this time i picked up these absolutely ginormous macarons, one of the almond, and a chocolate one. i used to have a steady date with the macarons at bizu, but lately they haven't been up to par--always a little stale, a little sad, and the taste of some of the flavours seems to have changed. i had my doubts about the market macarons--at a little more than six inches in diameter, they are about 5 times the size of an average macaron, and maybe ten times the weight. whatwhatwhat?! robyn had a photo of maison du chocolat's version of a large macaron, which she called "the monster that eats babies" one; if that's the case, then these are the universe in which the monsters roam.
the flavour of both were excellent--not too sweet, real almond flavour coming through the almond one with a marzipan overtone, the chocolate one was a little malty, with not-overpowering ganache within. the outside had a much thicker crust than your average macaron, and the innard of the cookie was soft, almost bready. i've made macarons before, but i can't imagine that the batter i used for the small ones would turn out like these in larger scale. it seems like perhaps there is more flour or something stabilizing the meringue. if you look at the photo below, maybe you can see what i mean...?
does that look like an average macaron to you? it almost seems like a cross between a macaron and the savoiardi/ladyfingers i made for the strawberry charlotte. lighter, slightly spongy, but with that nice meringue crust and a bit of chew. if anyone has any pointers/suggestions on how to make the monster macarons, please let me know!

Saturday I taught the first round of Bountiful Blocks, the newest class in my arsenal of creative offerings. Only two people signed up, but since they were both friends, I decided I would go ahead with the class and use it as a trial run (and with only two, it meant I would be able to play along with them). Kathleen and Laura have both taken classes from me before (in fact, Kathleen has taken every since class I have ever offered!), so it was comfortable and fun.
Three hours later . . . two beautiful creations.
Since this was a new class, here is what Kathleen and Laura had to say about the class:
I love, love, love the new space! The colors, the feel, the friendliness, the variety of things to use, to see, to share. The entire experience feels like it was just what I needed and the timing could not be more perfect. I feel like I have honored my brother while at the same time been good to me and my dream of driving my race car. Laura
Loved all the choices of stuff - the helpful ideas and all the time we were given to explore and create! Wow! this was more fun than I imagined. Thanks so much for another fun playful, class. Kathleen
