+- AN E-MAIL YOU NEED TO READ
+There is nothing the busy man is less busied with than living; there is nothing harder to learn.
+— SENECA
+For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today
+were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever
+the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something ...
+almost everything-all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure —
+these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
+Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you
+have something to lose.
+- STEVE JOBS, college dropout and CEO of Apple Computer, Stanford University
+Commencement, 200585
+I sou're confused about life, ou're not alone. There are almost seven billion of us. This isn't at
+problem, of course, once you realize that life is neither a problem to be solved nor a game to be won.
+If you are too intent on making the pieces of a nonexistent puzzle fit, you miss out on all the real fun.
+The heaviness of success-chasing can be replaced with a serendipitous lightness when you recognize that
+the only rules and limits are those we set for ourselves.
+So be bold and don't worry about what people think. They don't do it that often anyway.
+Two years ago, I was forwarded the following poem-originally written by child psychologist David
+L. Weatherford —by a close friend. He quit his own deferred-life plan after reading it, and I hope you
+will do the same. Here it is.
+SLOW DANCE
+Have you ever watched kids
+On a merry-go-round?
+Or listened to the rain
+Slapping on the ground?
+Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
+Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
+You better slow down.
+Don't dance so fast.
+Time is short.
+The music won't last.
+Do you run through each day
+On the fly?

+When you ask: How are you?
+Do you hear the reply?
+When the day is done,
+do you lie in your bed
+With the next hundred chores

+You'd better slow down.

+Last but Not Least
+- THE BEST OF THE BLOG
+The Art of Letting Bad Things Happen
+[AFTER 3 WEEKS OFF OF THE BLOG]
+Long time no see! I just landed back in Califormia from a long overdue mini-retirement through
+London, Scotland, Sardinia, the Slovak Republic, Austria, Amsterdam, and Japan. Some unpleasant
+surprises awaited me when I checked in on the evil e-mail inbox. Why? I let them happen.
+I always do.
+Here are just a few of the goodies that awaited me this time:
+• - One of our fulfillment companies had been shut down due to the
+CEO's death, causing a 20%+ loss in monthly orders and
+requiring an emergency shift of all web design and order
+processing
+• - Missed radio and magazine appearances and upset would-be
+interviewers
+• - More than a dozen lost joint-venture partnership opportunities
+It's not that I go out of my way to irritate people-not at all-but I recognize one critical fact:
+Oftentimes, in order to do the big things, you have to let the small bad things happen. This is a skill we
+want to cultivate.
+What did I get in exchange for temporarily putting on blinders and taking a few glancing blows?
+• - I followed the Rugby World Cup in Europe and watched the New
+Zealand All Blacks live, a dream I've had for the last five years.

+• - I shot every gun I've ever dreamed of firing since brainwashing
+myself with Commando . Bless the Slovak Republic and their
+paramilitaries.
+• - I filmed a television series pilot in Japan, a lifelong dream and the
+most fun I've had in months, if not years.
+• - I met with my Japanese publisher, Seishisha, and had media
+interviews in Tokyo, where the 4HWW is now #1 in several of
+the largest chains.
+• - I took a complete 10-day media fast and felt like I'd had a two-
+year vacation from computers.
+• - I attended the Tokyo International Film Festival and hung out with
+one of my heroes, the producer of the Planet Earth television
+series.
+Once you realize that you can turn off the noise without the world ending, you're liberated in a way
+that few people ever know.
+Just remember: If you don't have attention, you don't have time. Did I have time to check e-mail and
+voicemail? Sure. It might take 10 minutes. Did I have the attention to risk fishing for crises in those 10
+minutes? Not at all.
+As tempting as it is to "just check e-mail for one minute," I didn't do it. I know from experience that
+any problem found in the inbox will linger in the brain for hours or days after you shut down the
+computer, rendering "free time" useless with preoccupation. It's the worst of states, where you
+experience neither relaxation nor productivity. Be focused on work or focused on something else, never
+in-between.
+Time without attention is worthless, so value attention over time.
+Here are a few questions that can help you pop on the productivity blinders and put things in
+perspective. Even when you're not traveling the world, develop the habit of letting small bad things
+happen. If you don't, you'll never find time for the life-changing big things, whether important tasks or
+true peak experiences. If you do force the time but puncture it with distractions, you won't have the
+attention to appreciate it.
+• - What is the one goal, if completed, that could change everything?
+• - What is the most urgent thing right now that you feel you "must"

+or "should" do?
+• - Can you let the urgent "fail" - even for a day—to get to the next
+milestone for your potential life-changing tasks?
+• - What's been on your to-do list the longest? Start it first thing in
+the morning and don't allow interruptions or lunch until you
+finish.
+Will "bad" things happen? Small problems will crop up, yes. A few people will complain and quickly
+get over it. BUT, the bigger picture items you complete will let you see these for what they are — minutiae

+Things I've Loved and Learned in 2008
+2008 was one of the most exciting years of my life. I did more dealmaking and met more people than
+in the last five years combined. This produced many surprise insights about business and human nature,
+especially as I uncovered dozens of my own false assumptions.
+Here are some of the things I learned and loved in 2008.
+Favorite reads of 2008: Zorba the Greek and Seneca: Letters from a Stoic. These are two of the most
+readable books of practical philosophies I've ever had the fortune to encounter. If you have to choose
+one, get Zorba, but Lucius Seneca will take you further. Both are fast reads of 2-3 evenings.
+Don't accept large or costly favors from strangers. This karmic debt will come back to haunt you. If
+you can't pass it up, immediately return to karmic neutrality with a gift of your choosing. Repay it before
+they set the terms for you. Exceptions: über-successful mentors who are making introductions and not
+laboring on your behalf.
+You don't have to recoup losses the same way you lose them. I own a home in San Jose but moved
+almost 12 months ago. It's been empty since, and I'm paying a large mortgage each month. The best
+part? I don't care. But this wasn't always the case. For many months, I felt demoralized as others
+pressured me to rent it, emphasizing how I was just flushing money away otherwise. Then I realized:
+You don't have to make money back the same way you lose it. If you lose $1,000 at the blackjack table,
+should you try and recoup it there? Of course not. I don't want to deal with renters, even with a property
+management company. The solution: Leave the house alone, use it on occasion, and just create incoming
+revenue elsewhere that would cover the cost of the mortgage through consulting, publishing, etc.
+One of the most universal causes of self-doubt and depression: trying to impress people you don't
+like. Stressing to impress is fine, but do it for the right people-those you want to emulate.

+Slow meals = life. From Daniel Gilbert of Harvard to Martin Seligman of Princeton, the "happiness"
+(self-reported well-being) researchers seem to agree on one thing: Mealtime with friends and loved ones
+is a direct predictor of well-being. Have at least one 2-to-3-hour dinner and/or drinks per week-yes, 2-
+3 hours —with those who make you smile and feel good. I find the afterglow effect to be greatest and
+longest with groups of five or more. Two times that are conducive to this: Thursday dinners or after-
+dinner drinks and Sunday brunches.
+Adversity doesn't build character; it reveals it.
+Related: Money doesn't change you; it reveals who you are when you no longer have to be nice.
+It doesn't matter how many people don't get it. What matters is how many people do. If you have a
+strong informed opinion, don't keep it to yourself. Try to help people and make the world a better place.
+If you strive to do anything remotely interesting, just expect a small percentage of the population to
+always find a way to take it personally. F*ck 'em. There are no statues erected to critics.
+Related: You're never as bad as they say you are. My agent used to send me every blog or media hit
+for The 4-Hour Workweek. Eight weeks after publication, I asked him to only forward me positive
+mentions in major media or factual inaccuracies I needed to respond to. An important correlate: You're
+never as good as they say you are, either. It's not helpful to get a big head or get depressed. The former
+makes you careless and the latter makes you lethargic. I wanted to have untainted optimism but remain
+hungry. Speaking of hungry ...
+Eat a high-protein breakfast within 30 minutes of waking and go for a 10-to-20-minute walk
+outside afterward, ideally bouncing a handball or tennis ball. This one habit is better than a handful
+of Prozac in the morning. (Suggested reading: The 3-Minute Slow-Carb Breakfast, How to "Peel"
+Hardboiled Eggs Without Peeling on www.fourhourblog.com.) I dislike losing money about 50x more
+than I like making it. Why 50X? Logging time as an experiment, I concluded that I often spend at least
+50 x more time to prevent a hypothetical unit of $100 from being lost vs. earned. The hysterical part is
+that, even after becoming aware of this bias, it's hard to prevent the latter response. Therefore, I
+manipulate the environmental causes of poor responses instead of depending on error-prone self-
+discipline.
+I should not invest in public stocks where I cannot influence outcomes. Once realizing that almost no
+one can predict risk tolerance and response to losses, I moved all of my investments into fixed-income
+and cashlike instruments in July 2008 for this reason, setting aside 10% of pretax income for angel
+investments where I can contribute significant Ul/design, PR, and corporate partnership help. (Suggested
+reading: Rethinking Investing - Part 1, Rethinking Investing -Part 2 on www.fourhourblog.com.)
+A good question to revisit whenever overwhelmed: Are you having a breakdown or a
+breakthrough?
+Rehearse poverty regularly- restrict even moderate expenses for 1-2 weeks and give away 20% +
+of minimally used clothing—so you can think big and take "risks" without fear (Seneca).
+A mindset of scarcity (which breeds jealousy and unethical behavior) is due to a disdain for those things
+easily obtained (Seneca).
+A small cup of black Kenyan AA coffee with cinnamon on top, no milk or sweeteners.
+It's usually better to keep old resolutions than to make new ones.

+To bring in a wonderful 2009, I'd like to quote an e-mail I received from a mentor of more than a
+decade:
+While many are wringing their hands, I recall the 1970s when we were suffering from an oil shock
+causing long lines at gas stations, rationing, and 55 MPH speed limits on federal highways, a recession,
+very little venture capital ($50 million per year into VC firms), and what President Jimmy Carter
+(wearing a sweater while addressing the nation on TV because he had turned down the heat in the White
+House) called a "malaise." It was during those times that two kids without any real college education,
+Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, started companies that did pretty well. Opportunities abound in bad times as
+well as good times. In fact, the opportunities are often greater when the conventional wisdom is that
+everything is going into the toilet.
+Well... we're nearing the end of another great year, and despite what we read about the outlook for
+2009, we can look forward to a New Year filled with opportunities as well as stimulating challenges.
+Happy New Year, everyone.
+How to Travel the World with 10 Pounds or Less
+Hauling a live piece Sunsonie ser around the planet is hell on carh. I watched a liiend do this up
+and down dozens of subway and hotel staircases in Europe for three weeks, and -while I laughed a lot,
+especially when he resorted to just dragging or throwing his bags down stairs —I'd like to save you the
+breakdown. Trip enjoyment is inversely proportionate to the amount of crap (read: distractions) you bring
+with you.
+Practice in 30-plus countries has taught me that minimalist packing can be an art.
+I returned from Costa Rica last Wednesday and have since landed in Maui, where I'll stay for one
+week. What did I pack and why? (See the companion video at www.fourhourblog.com.®º)
+I practice what I'll label the BIT method of travel: Buy It There.
+If you pack for every possible contingency - better bring the hiking books in case we go hiking, better
+bring an umbrella in case it rains, better bring dress shoes and slacks in case we go to a nice restaurant,
+etc.— carrying a mule-worthy load is inevitable. I've learned to instead allocate $50-200 per trip to a
+"settling fund," which I use to buy needed items once they're 100% needed. This includes cumbersome
+and hassle items like umbrellas and bottles of sunscreen that love to explode. Also, never buy if you can
+borrow. If you're going on a bird-watching trip in Costa Rica, you don't need to bring binoculars -
+someone else will have them.
+Here's the Maui list.
+• - 1 featherweight Marmot Ion jacket (3 oz.!)
+• - 1 breathable Coolibar long-sleeve shirt to prevent sunburn. This
+saved me in Panama.

+The Choice-Minimal Lifestyle: 6 Formulas for More Output and
+Less Overwhelm
+was stressed out... over dog cartoons.
+It was 9:47 P.M. at Barnes and Noble on a recent Saturday night, and I had 13 minutes to find a
+suitable exchange for The New Yorker Dog Cartoons, $22 of expensive paper. Bestsellers? Staff
+recommends? New arrivals or classics? I'd already been there 30 minutes.
+Beginning to feel overwhelmed with a ridiculous errand I'd expected to take five minutes, I stumbled
+across the psychology section. One tome jumped out at me as all too appropriate— The Paradox of
+Choice: Why More Is Less. It wasn't the first time I'd seen or read Barry Schwartz's 2004 classic, but it
+seemed like a good time to revisit the principles, among them, that:
+• - The more options you consider, the more buyer's regret you'll
+have.
+• - The more options you encounter, the less fulfilling your ultimate
+outcome will be.
+This raises a difficult question: Is it better to have the best outcome but be less satisfied, or have an
+acceptable outcome and be satisfied?
+For example, would you rather deliberate for months and get the 1 of 20 houses that's the best
+investment but second-guess yourself until you sell it five years later, or would you rather get a house
+that is 80% of the investment potential of the former (still to be sold at a profit) but never second-guess
+it?
+Tough call.
+Schwartz also recommends making nonreturnable purchases. I decided to keep the stupid pooch
+cartoons. Why? Because it's not just about being satisfied, it's about being practical.
+Income is renewable, but some other resources-like attention-are not. I've talked before about
+attention as a currency and how it determines the value of time.
+For example: Is your weekend really free if you find a crisis in the inbox Saturday morning that you
+can't address until Monday morning?
+Even if the inbox scan lasts 30 seconds, the preoccupation and forward projection for the subsequent
+48 hours effectively deletes that experience from your life. You had time but you didn't have attention,
+so the time had no practical value.
+The choice-minimal lifestyle becomes an attractive tool when we consider two truths.
+1. Considering options costs attention that then can't be spent on action or present-state
+awareness.

+2. Attention is necessary for not only productivity but appreciation.
+Therefore:
+Too many choices = less or no productivity
+Too many choices = less or no appreciation
+Too many choices = sense of overwhelm
+What to do? There are six basic rules or formulas that can be used:
+1. Set rules for yourself so you can automate as much decision making as possible [see the rules I
+use to outsource my e-mail to Canada, included at the end of this section, as an example of this].
+2. Don't provoke deliberation before you can take action.
+One simple example: Don't scan the inbox on Friday evening or over the weekend if you might
+encounter work problems that can't be addressed until Monday.
+3. Don't postpone decisions just to avoid uncomfortable conversations.
+If an acquaintance asks you if you want to come to their house for dinner next week, and you know you
+won't, don't say, "I'm not sure. I'll let you know next week." Instead, use something soft but conclusive
+like, "Next week? I'm pretty sure I have another commitment on Thursday, but thank you for the invite.
+Just so I don't leave you hanging, let's assume I can't make it, but can I let you know if that changes?"
+Decision made. Move on.
+4. Learn to make nonfatal or reversible decisions as quickly as possible.
+Set time limits (I won't consider options for more than 20 minutes), option limits (I'll consider no more
+than three options), or finance thresholds (Example: If it costs less than $100 [or the potential damage is
+less than $100], I'll let a virtual assistant make the judgment call).
+I wrote most of this post after landing at the monster that is ATL airport in Atlanta. I could have
+considered half a dozen types of ground transportation in 15 minutes and saved 30-40%, but I grabbed a
+taxi instead. To use illustrative numbers: I didn't want to sacrifice 10 attention units of my remaining 50
+of 100 total potential units, since those 10 units couldn't then be spent on this article. I had about eight
+hours before bedtime due to time zone differences - plenty of time —but scarce usable attention after an
+all-nighter of fun and the cross-country flight. Fast decisions preserve usable attention for what
+matters.
+5. Don't strive for variation-and thus increase option consideration-when it's not needed.
+Routine enables innovation where it's most valuable.
+In working with athletes, for example, it's clear that those who maintain the lowest bodyfat percentage
+eat the same foods over and over with little variation. I've eaten the same "slow-carb" breakfast and
+lunch for nearly two years,®& putting variation only into meals that I focus on for enjoyment: dinner and
+all meals on Saturdays. This same routine-variation distinction can be found in exercise vs. recreation.
+For fat loss and muscle gain (even as much as 34 pounds in four weeks), I've followed the same time -
+minimal exercise protocol with occasional experiments since 1996. For recreation, however, where the
+focus is enjoyment and not efficacy, I tend to try something new each weekend, whether climbing at
+Mission Cliffs in San Francisco or mountain biking from tasting to tasting in Napa.

+Don't confuse what should be results-driven with routine (e.g., exercise) with something enjoyment-
+driven that benefits from variation (e.g., recreation).
+6. Regret is past-tense decision making. Eliminate complaining to minimize regret.
+Condition yourself to notice complaints and stop making them with a simple program like the "21-day
+no-complaint experiment" made famous by Will Bowen, where you wear a single bracelet and move it
+from one wrist to the other each time you complain. The goal is 21 days without complaining and you
+reset to 0 each time you slip up. This increased awareness helps prevent useless past-tense deliberation
+and negative emotions that improve nothing but deplete your attention.
+.. .
+DECISION-MAKING ISN'T to be avoided-that's not the problem. Look at a good CEO or top corporate
+performer and you'll see a high volume of decisions.
+It's deliberation-the time we vacillate over and consider each decision-that's the attention
+consumer. Total deliberation time, not the number of decisions, determines your attention bank
+account balance (or debt).
+Let's assume you pay 10% over time by following the above rules but cut your average "decision
+cycle" time by an average of 40% (10 minutes reduced to 6 minutes, for example). Not only will you
+have much more time and attention to spend on revenue-generating activities, but you'll get greater
+enjoyment from what you have and experience. Consider that 10% additional cost as an investment and
+part of your "ideal lifestyle tax," but not as a loss.
+Embrace the choice-minimal lifestyle. It's a subtle and under-exploited philosophical tool that
+produces dramatic increases in both output and satisfaction, all with less overwhelm.
+Make testing a few of the principles the first of many fast and reversible decisions.

+The Not-to-Do List: 9 Habits to Stop Now
+"N
+ot-to-do" lists are often more effective than to-do lists for upgrading performance.
+The reason is simple: What you don't do determines what you can do.
+Here are nine stressful and common habits that entrepreneurs and office workers should strive to
+eliminate. The bullets are followed by more detailed descriptions. Focus on one or two at a time, just as
+you would with high-priority to-do items.
+1. Do not answer calls from unrecognized phone numbers.
+Feel free to surprise others, but don't be surprised. It just results in unwanted interruption or poor
+negotiating positions. Let it go to voicemail, and consider using a service like GrandCentral (you can
+listen to people leaving voicemail or receive them as text messages) or Phonetag.com (receive voicemails
+as e-mail).

+
+2. Do not e-mail first thing in the morning or last thing at night.
+The former scrambles your priorities and plans for the day, and the latter just gives you insomnia. E-mail
+can wait until 10 A.M., after you've completed at least one of your critical to-do items.
+3. Do not agree to meetings or calls with no clear agenda or end time.
+If the desired outcome is defined clearly with a stated objective and agenda listing topics/ questions to
+cover, no meeting or call should last more than 30 minutes. Request them in advance so you "can best
+prepare and make good use of the time together."
+4. Do not let people ramble.
+Forget "How's it going?" when someone calls you. Stick with "What's up?" or "I'm in the middle of
+getting something out, but what's going on?" A big part of GTD (Getting Things Done) is GTP - Getting
+To the Point.
+5. Do not check e-mail constantly - "batch" and check at set times only.
+I belabor this point enough. Get off the cocaine pellet dispenser and focus on execution of your top to-
+do's instead of responding to manufactured emergencies. Set up a strategic autoresponder and check
+twice or thrice daily.
+6. Do not over-communicate with low-profit, high-maintenance customers.
+There is no sure path to success, but the surest path to failure is trying to please everyone. Do an 80/20
+analysis of your customer base in two ways -which 20% are producing 80%+ of my profit, and which
+20% are consuming 80%+ of my time? Then put the loudest and least productive on autopilot by citing a
+change in company policies. Send them an e-mail with new rules as bullet points: number of permissible
+phone calls, e-mail response time, minimum orders, etc. Offer to point them to another provider if they
+aren't able to adopt the new policies.
+7. Do not work more to fix overwhelmingness — prioritize.
+If you don't prioritize, everything seems urgent and important. If you define the single most important
+task for each day, almost nothing seems urgent or important. Oftentimes, it's just a matter of letting little
+bad things happen (return a phone call late and apologize, pay a small late fee, lose an unreasonable
+customer, etc.) to get the big important things done. The answer to overwhelmingness is not spinning
+more plates-or doing more-it's defining the few things that can really fundamentally change your
+business and life.
+8. Do not carry a cell phone or Crackberry 24/7.
+Take at least one day off of digital leashes per week. Turn them off or, better still, leave them in the
+garage or in the car. I do this on at least Saturday, and I recommend you leave the phone at home if you
+go out for dinner. So what if you return a phone call an hour later or the next morning? As one reader
+put it to a miffed co-worker who worked 24/7 and expected the same: "I'm not the president of the U.S.
+No one should need me at 8 P.M. at night. OK, you didn't get a hold of me. But what bad happened?"
+The answer? Nothing.

+9. Do not expect work to fill a void that non-work relationships and activities should.
+Work is not all of life. Your co-workers shouldn't be your only friends. Schedule life and defend it just
+as you would an important business meeting. Never tell yourself "I'll just get it done this weekend."
+Review Parkinson's Law and force yourself to cram within tight hours so your per-hour productivity
+doesn't fall through the floor. Focus, get the critical few done, and get out. E-mailing all weekend is no
+way to spend the little time you have on this planet.
+It's hip to focus on getting things done, but it's only possible once we remove the constant static and
+distraction. If you have trouble deciding what to do, just focus on not doing. Different means, same
+end. -AUGUST 16, 2007
+The Margin Manifesto: 11 Tenets for Reaching (or Doubling)
+Profitability in 3 Months
+Profitability ofien requires better rules and specd, not more time. The tinancial goal of a start-up
+should be simple: profit in the least time with the least effort. Not more customers, not more revenue, not
+more offices or more employees. More profit.
+Based on my interviews with high-performing (using profit-per-employee metrics) CEOs in more than
+a dozen countries, here are the 11 basic tenets of the "Margin Manifesto"
+... a return-to-basics call that
+gives permission to do the uncommon to achieve the uncommon: consistent profitability, or doubling of
+it, in three months or less.
+I review the following principles whenever facing operational overwhelmingness or
+declining/stagnating profits. Hope you find them useful.
+1. Niche Is the New Big - The Lavish Dwarf Entertainment Rule
+Several years ago, an investment banker was jailed for trade violations. He was caught partly due to his
+lavish parties on yachts, often featuring hired dwarves. The owner of the dwarf rental company, Danny
+Black, was quoted in the Wall Street Journal as saying "Some people are just into lavish dwarf
+entertainment." Niche is the new big. But here's the secret: It's possible to niche market and mass sell.
+iPod commercials don't feature dancing 50-year-olds, they feature hip and fit 20- and 30-somethings, but
+everyone and his grandmother wants to feel youthful and hip, so they strap on Nanos and call themselves
+Apple converts. Who you portray in your marketing isn't necessarily the only demographic who buys
+your product- it's often the demographic that most people want to identify with or belong to. The target
+isn't the market. No one aspires to be the bland average, so don't water down messaging to appeal to
+everyone — it will end up appealing to no one.
+2. Revisit Drucker -What Gets Measured Gets Managed
+Measure compulsively, for as Peter Drucker stated, What gets measured gets managed. Useful metrics to
+track, besides the usual operational stats, include CPO ("Cost-Per-Order," which includes advertising,
+fulfillment and expected returns, charge-backs, and bad debt), ad allowable (the maximum you can spend
+on an advertisement and expect to break even), MER (media efficiency ratio), and projected lifetime
+value (LV) given return rates and reorder percent. Consider applying direct response advertising metrics
+to your business.

+3. Pricing Before Product - Plan Distribution First
+Is your pricing scalable? Many companies will sell direct-to-consumer by necessity in early stages, only
+to realize that their margins can't accommodate resellers and distributors when they come knocking. If
+you have a 40% profit margin and a distributor needs a 70% discount to sell into wholesale accounts,
+you're forever limited to direct-to-consumer ... unless you increase your pricing and margins. It's best to
+do this beforehand if possible-otherwise, you'll need to launch new or "premium" products — so plan
+distribution before setting pricing. Test assumptions and find hidden costs by interviewing those who
+have done it: Will you need to pay for co-op advertising, offer rebates for bulk purchases, or pay for
+shelf space or featured placement? I know one former CEO of a national brand who had to sell his
+company to one of the world's largest soft drink manufacturers before he could access front-of-store
+shelving in top retailers. Test your assumptions and do your homework before setting pricing.
+4. Less Is More-Limiting Distribution to Increase Profit
+Is more distribution automatically better? No. Uncontrolled distribution leads to all manner of headache
+and profit-bleeding, most often related to rogue discounters. Reseller A lowers pricing to compete with
+online discounter B, and the price cutting continues until neither is making sufficient profit on the
+product and both stop reordering. This requires you to launch a new product, as price erosion is almost
+always irreversible. Avoid this scenario and consider partnering with one or two key distributors instead
+using that exclusivity to negotiate better terms: less discounting, prepayment, preferred placement and
+marketing support, etc. From iPods to Rolex and Estée Lauder, sustainable high-profit brands usually
+begin with controlled distribution. Remember, more customers isn't the goal; more profit is.
+5. Net-Zero-Create Demand vs. Offering Terms
+Focus on creating end-user demand so you can dictate terms. Often one trade publication advertisment,
+bought at discount remnant rates, will be enough to provide this leverage. Outside of science and law,
+most "rules" are just common practice. Just because everyone in your industry offers terms doesn't mean
+you have to, and offering terms is the most consistent ingredient in start-up failure. Cite start-up
+economics and the ever-so-useful "company policy" as reasons for prepayment and apologize, but don't
+make exceptions. Net-30 becomes net-60, which becomes net-120. Time is the most expensive asset a
+start-up has, and chasing delinquent accounts will prevent you from generating more sales. If customers
+are asking for your product, resellers and distributors will need to buy it. It's that simple. Put funds and
+time into strategic marketing and PR to tip the scales in your favor.
+6. Repetition Is Usually Redundant - Good Advertising Works the First Time
+Use direct response advertising (call-to-action to a phone number or website) that is uniquely trackable
+-fully accountable advertising— instead of image advertising, unless others are pre-purchasing to offset
+the cost (e.g., "If you prepurchase 288 units, we'll feature your store/URL/phone exclusively in a full-
+page ad in..."). Don't listen to advertising salespeople who tell you that 3, 7, or 27 exposures are needed

+response with high conversion, etc.), indicating that a strong ROI might be possible with small changes,
+tweak one controlled variable and microtest once more. Cancel anything that cannot be justified with a

+Don't manufacture product in large quantities to increase margin unless your product and marketing are
+tested and ready for rollout without changes. If a limited number of prototypes cost $10 per piece to
+manufacture and sell for $11 each, that's fine for the initial testing period, and essential for limiting
+downside. Sacrifice margin temporarily for the testing phase, if need be, and avoid potentially fatal
+upfront overcommitments.
+8. Negotiate Late -Make Others Negotiate Against Themselves
+Never make a first offer when purchasing. Flinch after the first offer ("$3,000!" followed by pure silence,
+which uncomfortable salespeople fill by dropping the price once), let people negotiate against themselves
+("Is that really the best you can offer?" elicits at least one additional drop in price), then "bracket." If
+they end up at $2,000 and you want to pay $1,500, offer $1,250. They'll counter with approximately
+$1,750, to which you respond: "I'll tell you what —let's just split the difference. I'll overnight FedEx you
+a check, and we can call it a day." The end result? Exactly what you wanted: $1,500.
+9. Hyperactivity vs. Productivity - 80/20 and Pareto's Law
+Being busy is not the same as being productive. Forget about the start-up overwork ethic that people
+wear as a badge of honor-get analytical. The 80/20 principle, also known as Pareto's Law, dictates that
+80% of your desired outcomes are the result of 20% of your activities or inputs. Once per week, stop
+putting out fires for an afternoon and run the numbers to ensure you're placing effort in high-yield areas:
+What 20% of customers/products/ regions are producing 80% of the profit? What are the factors that
+could account for this? Invest in duplicating your few strong areas instead of fixing all of your
+weaknesses.
+10. The Customer Is Not Always Right - "Fire" High-Maintenance Customers
+Not all customers are created equal. Apply the 80/20 principle to time consumption: What 20% of people
+are consuming 80% of your time? Put high-maintenance, low-profit customers on autopilot —process
+orders but don't pursue them or check up on them- and "fire" high-maintenance, high-profit customers
+by sending a memo detailing how a change in business model requires a few new policies: how often and
+how to communicate, standardized pricing and order process, etc. Indicate that, for those clients whose
+needs are incompatible with these new policies, you are happy to introduce other providers. "But what if
+my largest customer consumes all of my time?" Recognize that (1) without time, you cannot scale your
+company (and, oftentimes, life) beyond that customer, and (2) people, even good people, will
+unknowingly abuse your time to the extent that you let them. Set good rules for all involved to minimize
+back-and-forth and meaningless communication.
+11. Deadlines Over Details - Test Reliability Before Capability
+Skills are overrated. Perfect products delivered past deadline kill companies faster than decent products
+delivered on time. Test someone's ability to deliver on a specific and tight deadline before hiring them
+based on a dazzling portfolio. Products can be fixed as long as you have cash flow, and bugs are
+forgiven, but missing deadlines is often fatal. Calvin Coolidge once said that nothing is more common
+than unsuccessful men with talent; I would add that the second most common is smart people who think
+their IQ or resume justifies delivering late. -JUNE 24, 2008

+mail Again
+What i you never had to check e-mail an" If ye could hire someone else to pound coumliss
+hours in your inbox instead of you?
+This isn't pure fantasy. For the last 12 months, I've experimented with removing myself from the
+inbox entirely by training other people to behave like me. Not to imitate me, but to think like me.
+Here's the upshot: I get more than 1,000 e-mails a day from various accounts. Rather than spending
+6-8 hours per day checking e-mail, which I used to do, I can skip reading e-mail altogether for days or
+even weeks at a time ... all within 4-10 minutes a night.
+Let me explain the basics, followed by tips and exact templates for outsourcing your own inbox.
+1. I have multiple e-mail addresses for specific types of e-mail (blog readers vs. media vs.
+friends/family, etc.). tim@ ... is the default I give to new acquaintances, which goes to my assistant.
+2. 99% of e-mail falls into predetermined categories of inquiries with set questions or responses (my
+"rules" document is at the bottom of this post-feel free to steal, adapt, and use). My assistant(s) checks
+and clears the inbox at 11 A.M. and 3 P.M. pst.
+3. For the 1% of e-mail that might require my input for next actions, I have a once-daily phone call of
+4-10 minutes at 4 P.M. pst with my assistant.
+4. If I'm busy or traveling abroad, my assistant leaves the action items in numerical order on my
+voicemail, which I can respond to in a bullet-point e-mail. These days, I actually prefer the voice-mail
+option and find that it forces my assistant to be more prepared and more concise.
+Each night (or early the next morning), I'll listen to my assistant's voicemail via Skype and
+simultaneously write out the next actions (1. Bob: Tell him that ... 2. Jose in Peru: Ask him for ... 3.
+Speaking in NC: Confirm ..., etc.) in a Skype chat or quick e-mail. How long does the new system take?
+4-10 minutes instead of 6-8 hours of filtering and repetitive responses.
+If you only have one e-mail account, I recommend using a desktop program like Outlook or Mail
+instead of a web-based program like Gmail for a simple reason: If you see new items in your inbox,
+you'll check them. Like they say in AA: If you don't want to slip, don't go where it's slippery. This is
+why I have a private personal account that I use for sending e-mail to my assistant and communicating
+with friends. It's almost always empty.
+E-mail is the last thing people let go of. Fortune 500 CEOs, best-selling authors, celebrities —I know
+dozens of top performers who delegate everything but e-mail, which they latch onto as something only
+they can do. "No one can check my e-mail for me" is the unquestioned assumption, or "I answer every
+e-mail I receive" is the unquestioned bragging right that keeps them in front of a computer for 8-12
+hours at a stretch. It's not fun, and it keeps them from higher-impact or more rewarding activities.
+Get over yourself. I had to. Checking e-mail isn't some amazing skill that you alone possess.
+In fact, checking e-mail is like everything else: a process.
+How you evaluate and handle (delete vs. archive vs. forward vs. respond) e-mail is just a series of
+questions you ask yourself, whether consciously or subconsciously. I have a document called "Tim
+Ferriss Processing Rules," to which my assistants add rules when I send them a note via e-mail with
+"ADD TO RULES" in the subject. Over the course of a week or two with a virtual assistant (VA), you
+will end up with an externalized set of rules that reflect how your brain processes e-mail. It often shows
+you how haphazard your processing is. I've included my "rules" here to save you some time. A few tips:

+1. Setting appointments and meetings takes a lot of time. Have your assistant set things up for you in
+Google Calendar. I input my own items via my Palm Z22 or iCal, then use Spanning Sync and Missing
+Sync for Palm OS to sync everything. On my überlight Sony VAIO, which I still use for travel, I use
+CompanionLink for Google Calendar. I suggest batching meetings or calls in one or two set days, with
+15 minutes between appointments. Scattering them throughout the week at odd times just interrupts
+everything else. (Update 2009: The Palm Z22 has been discarded, and I now use a 13-inch MacBook and
+BusySync to synchronize iCal with Google Calendar.)
+2. If you jump in your assistant's inbox and answer anything, BCC them so they are aware that you
+handled it.
+3. Expect small problems. Life is full of compromises, and it's necessary to let small bad things happen
+if you want to get huge good things done. There is no escape. Prevent all problems and get nothing done,
+or accept an allowable level of small problems and focus on the big things.
+Ready to jump in and test the holy grail? Here are the steps.
+1. Determine exactly which accounts you will use and how you want them to respond to (or just
+categorize or purge) e-mail for you.
+2. Find a virtual assistant.
+3. Test for reliability before skill set. Have the top three candidates do something on tight deadline (24
+hours) before hiring them and letting them in your inbox.
+4. Use a probationary period of 2-4 weeks to test the waters and work out the problems. Again: There
+will be problems. It will take a good 3-8 weeks to get to real smooth sailing.
+5. Design your ideal lifestyle and find something to do other than let your brain fester in the inbox. Fill
+the void.

+ASK [head VAI, for his AMEX NUMBER. SHE WILL ADVISE WHETHER PURCHASES CAN BE
+1.
+How do you feel about joint ventures?
+I'm open to them, but my brand and respectability is #1. I will not do anything with anyone who
+comes off as deceptive or amateur. "Make millions while you sleep in our super-insane foreclosure
+program!" on the website disqualifies someone. I cannot be associated with anyone who might be
+seen as a liar or snake-oil salesman. Just ask yourself: If the CEO of a well-known company saw
+this, would he lose interest in speaking with me? If so, it won't work.
+For those who pass that criteria, what have they done already? I'm not looking for first-timers,
+generally, unless they have an excellent track record and reputation elsewhere.
+2.
+Do you focus solely on profit-generating tasks?
+No. I also look for prestige (Harvard, government, etc.), wide exposure, as well as building
+networks with people who have world-class skills in some area.
+3.
+How do you handle spam?
+SpamArrest and Gmail. I have no problem with spam at this point.
+What is your optimal response rate (i.e., respond to all e-mails no later than 48-72 hours after
+received)?
+Same day. I'm bringing you on to respond quickly.
+Do you respond to any e-mails?
+Yes, but I'll want you to filter them first, respond to all you can, then mark the ones I should look

+Who do we have to collaborate with on a regular basis?

+Green like cedar leaves in July.
+Call at the end of every day (if) there is something that Tim needs to respond to in his e-mail.
+E-books: Tell them they can download the e-bookfromwww.powells.com.
+Label all e-mails from "Expert Click" for Tim. No need to respond or forward.

+When Tim types "dictate" in the e-mail response, this means that we can say to the recipient: As
+Tim is traveling at the moment and not able to personally respond to your e-mail, I mentioned
+your message while on the phone to him, and he asked me to dictate. This makes the process easier
+as we do not have to change the context of the person responding.

+Proposal to Work Remotely on a Contract Basis
+This is the actual remote-work proposal reader Autumn Brookmire used successfully to move to
+Argentina while retaining her job and cutting back to 5-10 hours per week of work.
+AUTUMN BROOKMIRE
+July 2008
+Background
+After working for the [company name] for more than two years, I have a great loyalty to the people and
+mission of this organization. I believe I have added a great deal of value to the organization in my
+position as marketing coordinator. With my creative problem solving and my cost effective solutions I
+have changed the way we produce and distribute our holiday cards and I've developed a contest to bring
+in more usable photos for our marketing and publications. I would like to propose continuing to perform
+the following tasks for [company name], but on a contract basis, remotely. I plan to live in Argentina for
+6-12 months starting in September of 2008. My goals are to develop my fluency in the Spanish language
+and immerse myself in another culture and completely foreign environment so that I develop my skills in
+adaptation to new ways of thinking.

+I am more than happy to discuss different ways to make this possible and I have some suggestions if
+[company name] would be willing to consider them. We can test this arrangement for a few months to
+see if it works for both of us, since that would make the most sense.
+Role #1: Graphic Design and Print Advertising Coordinator
+Responsibility:
+Create timelines for print materials and coordinate with respective program teams.
+Expectations:
+• Print materials will be completed on time.
+Responsibility:
+Expectations:
+Coordinate design projects with program directors and outside graphic artists/designers.
+• Print materials designs are suitable for the audience, accurate, and appealing.
+• Print materials are professional quality and produced within set timelines.
+Responsibility:
+Maintain relationships with print vendors to minimize cost relative to time and quality in producing
+program print materials.
+Expectations:
+• Print materials are printed within the established budget, unless budget overages are specifically
+approved by the Director of Marketing.
+Contract Solution:
+By using e-mail and web-based programs such as
+*ConceptShare, I can continue to coordinate these design projects from a distance. I currently maintain
+relationships with print vendors and designers at a distance so physical presence is not necessary for this
+to continue. For meetings with program directors and the marketing team, I would use a free video and
+phone conferencing service called *Skype. We usually meet once or twice to discuss changes to their
+marketing materials and the rest of the process is continued through e-mail and ConceptShare.
+Role #2: Special Marketing Project Manager
+Responsibility:
+Maintain a collection of updated, appropriate marketing images.
+Expectations:
+• Images needed for marketing materials and websites are anticipated and acquired.
+Contract Solution:
+I am still able to complete this task remotely by doing images searches on web databases such as
+*iStockphoto.com. If the experiment with the *Seminar Photo Contest fares well, I could also manage

+that process via the web using Aptify, e-mail, and Skype.
+Responsibility:
+Identify and implement new opportunities to leverage marketing materials.
+Expectations:
+Ideas are researched for feasibility and effectiveness.
+Chosen projects are designed and sent out within the budget and timeline.
+Contract Solution:
+I would utilize e-mail and Skype to communicate any new ideas and opportunities to leverage marketing
+materials. I have recently proposed creating a one-page calendar of our program deadlines to distribute
+to our recent seminar alumni in a fall mailing. This way students will have an easy way to remember all
+of our deadlines for our programs and may potentially boost our number of applicants.
+Role #3: Web-based Marketing Coordinator
+Responsibility:
+Contribute to online advertising efforts and track results.
+Expectations:
+• Online efforts are increasingly cost effective.
+Marketing Director is informed of web-based marketing results as requested.
+Contract Solution:
+I am familiar with our online advertising efforts and can continue to help with this process from a
+distance. I will be able to access Facebook Ads, Google Ads, Blog Ads and aid Keri in gathering and
+entering data. I have experience working with our Facebook and Google Ads and have created images
+for Blog Ads in the past. Launching new Ads will be easily managed abroad.
+Responsibility:
+Compile collection of updated, appropriate web photos.
+Expectations:
+• Attractive, updated photos will be available for program and marketing uses.
+Contract Solution:
+As stated above with the stock photo inventory, I am still able to complete this task remotely by
+conducting image searches on web databases such as iStockphoto.com. The Seminar Photo Contest will
+also be used as a tool to aid in this compilation of images while I am abroad.
+In order to more effectively track the cost of production of our print materials, I think [company name]
+would find value in transitioning to a contract basis for this position. I have really enjoyed working at
+[company namel thus far and would like to continue working for this organization from a remote
+male in us as ianing to d contrac
+location. Thank you for your consideration of this proposal.
+Explanation of Software and Programs Mentioned:

+for sharing designs, documents, and video and invite others to review, comment, and give contextual

+ZEN AND THE ART OF ROCK STAR LIVING
+Hi Tim,
+Here's the story. I'm a musician based in Munich, Germany. I'm running my own label and it has
+been difficult to get it off the ground. While working on that, my creativity slowly decreased until I hit
+rock bottom (a couple of times).
+While it is still difficult to survive in the music industry I find it not hard at all now to do what I want
+to do. And that's all I do. I do what I want to do. It includes being a father, making music, composing,
+taking care of business, traveling, learning languages (mostly Italian), riding my bike, etc.... It's all in the
+following paragraphs.
+1. I read the book step by step for about two months from September/October 2008 (plus surfing your
+blog) and just made tabula rosa with my life. (Lots of brainvomiting on paper.)
+2.
+I started outsourcing things that bothered me most (and therefore kept hanging out in my to-do list
+the longest). I outsourced:
+• - research, most of which is music-industry related (research
+outsourced saves about 2-3 hours/day)

+• - website maintenance (social websites like Facebook, Myspace,
+etc). I'm planning on doing most of my marketing through
+these sites in 2009 and I'm on about 25+ sites as an artist.
+My VA (getfriday.com, as recommended in your book) does all the updates and checks
+the sites once a week to gather e-mail messages, comments, etc., filters them and sends me a
+report once a week including all the details for me to respond to. (Saves about one to two
+hours/day.)
+• - photo retouching for my press pics is done by elance (saved five
+hours of work time and about $500).
+• - management of my mailing list for gig dates, album updates, etc.
+(Saves about one hour for each mailing.)
+• - I started testing muses (learning languages with music to sell
+online). I'm still testing!
+• - I decided to open a publishing operation online for film companies
+to license music for film with just a mouse click, without having
+to negotiate deals for months. It will happen in 2009 (I start
+testing soon). People are generally surprised and amazed that a
+person who doesn't seem to be very corporate (I look like a
+retired punk rocker, haha) outsources parts of his life and lives
+like a millionaire (I guess we do although we're far from it!).
+I realized that I could do it after I got the first positive feedback from my outsource VA. I got the
+results of my project posted on elance and a day later I got the results. I went, yeah baby, this is MINE!
+The biggest change is, that I now have my life under control. I take care of my little daughter (20
+months) half the day (second half, my wife takes care of her), I take care of business, and I take time to
+do things I always wanted to do. Revenue-wise I'm pretty much the same I was before but I have a lot
+more spare time and a clear head (so I guess I've gotten a lot richer!).
+I work whenever I want (no boss) about 24-30 hours/week (including office hours and music-studio
+hours) and what I do now is only what I really love to do. I'm still step-by-step optimizing efficiency to
+reduce office hours (currently about 10 hours/week). My dream is to dissolve my office altogether, go
+paperless, and basically only have my laptop as an office.
+I eliminated all work that has gotten me down or was wearing me out (eliminated an extra workload of
+about 10 hours/week). I do not take on jobs (writing/producing music) unless I really love the project. I

+I learned to shave with a straight razor within about 30 minutes, which I wanted to do for years.
+Shaving is a real exciting ritual now and a lot of fun! I will do a master course for coffee experts in April
+(I'm a coffee junky!) and become a "maestro del café." I helped my wife quit her teaching job and fulfill
+her dream to run a cafe in Munich, Germany. It's called Frau Viola and opened its doors in October
+2008. It is running great! (www.frauviola.wordpress.com)
+Can you measure all of that? I think it speaks for itself!
+The general mindset of 4HWW has given me the calmness of being able to take time to play with my
+daughter and enjoying my "free time" without getting the fear of missing out on something or wasting
+my life. I'd say overall (with all the above-mentioned changes) my productivity increased at least 70%
+and doubt decreased by 80%.
+For those just getting started:
+1. start small think big.
+2. identify what excites you vs. what bores you
+3.
+eliminate and focus on what excites you
+4.
+stick to what excites you no matter what people say. It's your life, live it the way you know is right
+for you.

+ART LOVERS WANTED
+I saw my father work himself to the bone for 20 years as a garbage-man when we immigrated from
+Mexico. As I looked at my life in April 2007 in a lonely hotel room after another endless week of travel
+for my employer far from my family and those I love, I realized that at 33 I was on the same path to
+work myself into the ground and give up on my lifelong dream of pursuing my love of music and theater.
+In life there are no accidents and that night as I was checking an e-mail from an old friend he
+suggested the 4HWW. I devoured the book in a few hours and began immediately to apply the key
+principles. When I told people about the book and about what I intended to do everyone said I was crazy.
+I focused most of my efforts on Dream-lining, Elimination, and Liberation. As an employee I wanted to
+first achieve liberation with a remote work arrangement. Despite several failed attempts I persevered
+(great lesson in negotiating) and was granted the opportunity to work remotely. This changed everything.
+I went from 9+ hours of work a day with weekly work-related travel to four hours a week, one week of
+travel per month, and I managed to get a $10,000 raise and deliver 2x the productivity in my job from
+the previous unproductive year.
+As a result I now live with my once long-distance girlfriend in Seattle (my hometown). I spend my
+newly found time pursuing my passion for music (I sing in a choir and write my own folk-rock music),
+theater (I am performing in my first fully improvised 60-minute play this weekend), and fitness. I am
+training for my second marathon now.

+-1. BARRON
+PHOTO FINISH
+Hey Tim,
+I wanted to tell you that your book, The 4-Hour Workweek, has been a true inspiration and life-
+changing resource for me this year!
+I bought your book in November. Before then, I didn't know what "workflow automation" was. I had
+a part-time employee, but her work was actually creating more work for me. I would work until
+sometimes 3 A.M., and get up at 7. I'd tell you I wanted to travel, but the truth is that it seemed
+impossible to me. I didn't have time or money.
+I was listening to your audio book one day. I had been listening to each of the chapters, sometimes
+over and over again. I was jogging. I stopped in my tracks. I believe I was listening about a case study
+about someone who sold music files over the Internet.
+I'm a photographer. Weddings mostly. I wondered how I could sell digital images over the Internet.
+Then I came up with a fantastic idea for a family photography company. I stopped right there, and
+reserved a website on my iPhone.
+Two months later, I had a website, access to thousands of photographers across the country, and our
+first sale. Even better, I am now in the family photography business, and I never have to shoot myself.
+Even better +1, we are the first family photography business that doesn't sell prints. Only digital files. It
+worked! I have now adopted this for my wedding photography as well. Other photographers are so
+offended, but I am making WAY more $, my costs are almost eliminated, and my time is free!
+I know the above is vague, but it's not the point. The point is that now I work better, faster, I have two
+more employees, I turned off my e-mail notifications on my computer and my iPhone, despite all of what
+it's capable of, it doesn't even ring. E-mail has been disabled. I just check it every so often to see what
+calls I missed.
+Today, my fiance loves me because I come home in time for dinner and I leave my laptop at work. It's
+a life I never thought I'd be able to live. In the meantime, systems are working in my place and this year
+looks to be a lot better, financially, than last.
+Then I decided it was time to try my first mini-retirement. The goal: ski the Swiss Alps and spend five
+days in Switzerland and spend less than $1,000 total. I got a roundtrip ticket for about 500 bucks. My ski
+pass for one day at Engelberg was
+$80. Lodging
+was free, thanks to your suggestion
+www.couchsurfing.com, and I ate roasted chestnuts, brats, fish and chips and drank great beer all week
+long. I did it!
+I am forever grateful, and am excited for more mini-retirements. Here's to living during the best years
+of my life.
+P.S. I leave May 11 for a month-long work vacation to Italy (I have been hired to photograph two
+weddings in Siena). I plan on vacationing a LOT more than I will be working.

+VIRTUAL LAW
+I used to work at a large Silicon Valley law firm, but one day I woke up and decided that I wanted to
+travel for a year and learn a foreign language. Six weeks later I was living in Cali, Colombia-I'd never
+visited Cali before and hardly spoke a word of Spanish, but that's what made it exciting to me. Well,
+almost two years later, I still spend 95%+ of my time living and working from Cali, Colombia (I recently
+bought a gorgeous apartment here that I could never afford if I lived in California). I also have a full-
+time maid/cook (well, five hours per day, five days per week), which costs me less than US $40 per
+week!
+I started my own virtual law practice and then joined forces with my old boss. My U.S. number rings
+through to me wherever I am in the world (originally I'm from New Zealand so I travel back there a lot,
+too), and all my U.S. mail is delivered to Market Street, San Francisco, and scanned so I can view it
+online. If I need to mail letters, I have another service which prints the letter and sends it within the U.S.
+so there are no international shipping delays.
+Definitely use www.earthclassmail.com for mail receipt/scanning. They have different packages but
+it's around $20-$30/month. You can also choose one or more P.O. boxes or physical addresses. My
+Market Street address is actually an earthclassmail address.
+For printing small letters and mailing within the U.S. I use www.postalmethods.com. It's a little
+clunky at first but it's fine when you get used to it. It's very cheap since you only pay when you send (a
+four-page letter works out to just over $1 including the postage).
+Come visit me sometime. Colombia is nothing like what you hear about —I feel a lot safer walking
+around late at night here than a lot of places in San Francisco. But don't tell anyone, those of us living
+here want to keep it a secret!

+TAKING FLIGHT WITH ORNITHREADS
+Tim—
+My mentor gave me your book this past July and it had a tremendous impact on my life, its arrival
+could not have had better timing. About the time I read it, I was a few weeks away from competing in
+my first Olympic distance triathlon. I had trained for five months, felt and looked strong, but even more
+important the discipline and working toward a physical goal resulted in a creativity I hadn't felt in years.
+I posted a competitive time in the event and felt so optimistic about my abilities that I signed up for a
+half ironman competition.
+Riding that high and following the principles of your book, I thought of dozens of ideas for
+products/businesses and am on the verge of launching the first of those ideas. It is a line of apparel called
+OrniThreads which will provide modern, scientific designs of birds to Gen-X and Gen-Y birders.
+The reasons for focusing on this demographic are twofold:
+1. For my "day job," I work at [company name]. I have learned a lot about their
+audience/membership, e.g., like the fact that there are 70 million Americans who actively bird (a
+staggering statistic from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife svc). Birders are a passionate lot and their
+interest only seems to grow over time-it never dies! They also tend to skew from the middle to
+upper class and are educated.
+2.
+I took an ornithology class this summer at Columbia University (where I am enrolled in a
+conservation biology program) and fell in love with the illustrations in my textbooks and wanted to
+surround myself with these images.

+I am launching www.ornithreads.com in the next week or so and the first of my three designs are
+being printed as we speak.
+I have big aspirations for the company, but am just trying to get the first collection to customers and

+OFF-THE-JOB TRAINING
+I used concepts from the 4HWW to work remotely from August of '08 until January of '09. I went to
+Portugal, Europe, Spain, Sweden, and Norway surfing and snowboarding my brains out. Best part about
+it? I came home with three times as much money in the bank than I would have had if I continued the
+normal 9 to 5. I work for [world-famous design company] as a software developer, and was able to put
+the concepts to use and really change my life. I paired my iPhone + Fring (Fring is voice over IP on the
+iPhone, it allows you to use one device for everything, and have a local number abroad).
+I spent four months prior to departure being sure to never be at my cube, but always be just around the
+corner. I made a point to ALWAYS be available on Instant Messenger, so when people would walk over
+to my cube and look for me in person they would see I was somewhere else, then hop online and ask,
+"Where are you?" My response was always similar, just down the hall in the cafeteria ... just down the
+block at the coffee shop, or at co-worker X's desk. After two months of this a magical thing happened:
+People always looked to get me via Instant Messenger and stopped dropping by my desk altogether. That
+allowed me to be 6,000 miles away without anyone noticing.
+Something else to consider... how time zone affects remote work environments. I noticed, while in
+Norway (nine hours away), that it was the perfect amount of time. I was, in a sense, living in the future.
+My day was almost over by the time my boss woke up ... this allowed me to explore Norway's fjords,
+mountains, and undiscovered frigid surf spots in complete peace and without ever having to worry about
+getting a call from overseas. It was perfect ... If I wanted, I could explore all day, come home and have
+some dinner, then ichat with my boss for 20-30 minutes and check in. The few times he needed
+something urgently, he was able to give me work when he went to bed, and have it completed in the
+morning when he woke up. -В. WILLIAMSON
+DOCTOR'S ORDERS
+Hi Tim:
+Here's my story ...
+My dream started about four years ago. I was in the process of taking my psychology licensing exam,
+and after speaking to a friend, decided that I would reward myself with a trip to South America. We
+were both exhausted from our 9-to-5 (and sometimes 6, 7, or 8 p.m.) hospital and clinic jobs.
+I had traveled extensively throughout the United States and some parts of Europe, but I had never
+experienced South American culture.
+My trip there was absolutely fantastic and really opened my eyes to other ways of living and culture.
+During my trip, I spent a lot of time speaking to expatriates about how they used their retirement funds
+and pensions to live the lives of kings there. One thing was evident: Most of the expatriates who
+attempted to "set up a business" to help fund their lifestyle had failed miserably. I hypothesized that
+there just wasn't enough currency (pesos) in the marketplace to really sustain a "gringo"-oriented
+business.

+After my trip, I told my friend that I needed to dedicate all my energies to developing a method of
+receiving income from U.S. citizens while living elsewhere. VOIP had recently been introduced to the
+marketplace and Internet service was improving in South America and other parts of the third world.
+The business had to be based upon absolute mobility. I boiled the whole business down to two basic
+functions: reliable telephone via VOIP and high-speed Internet.
+At the time I had a small research consultation practice where I was helping doctoral students on the
+phone and via e-mail to complete their dissertations, theses, and statistical analyses. I had a small
+website that was getting traffic but I was relying on others for web and marketing services. I
+subsequently learned more about search engine optimization and web marketing and eventually took
+control of all web marketing and promotion of my website, http://www.ResearchConsultation.com,
+allowing me to expand my business substantially.
+During the next three years I conducted numerous "mobile tests"
+... traveling to Costa Rica, the
+Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Colombia in order to fine-tune my system of conducting business
+from abroad.
+I finally left my job last November, the day before Thanksgiving, vowing to never return to the
+mundane 9-to-5 structure. My job had even recently instituted a "bio-metric fingerprint" identification
+system where you had to "punch in and out" at the beginning and end of your hospital shift with your
+fingerprint to ensure that you were working your eight hours. This was just another sign that I had to
+leave.
+I now live in NYC and Colombia and travel to other parts of the world throughout the year: speaking
+to customers, managing my contractors (U.S. and Colombian) in order to acquire U.S. dollars while
+living for a fraction of the cost abroad. I'm also developing other websites and businesses (community
+forums) that will hopefully be more automated, requiring less day-to-day interaction and monitoring.
+Well, that's my story for now ... today South America, tomorrow anywhere I can get a high-speed
+connection (banda ancha)! My stress level has dropped significantly since leaving my old job and my
+quality of life has improved enormously.
+My family and friends in NYC still think I'm out of my mind, and I continue to fully agree with
+them.... -JEFF B.
+THE 4-HOUR FAMILY AND GLOBAL EDUCATION
+Tim,
+We moved to a totally digital nomadic life traveling the world as a family in 2006, so we discovered
+your book and ideas after we had begun and loved it! Our life has changed totally and is more fulfilling
+and much more simple. We are greener, leaner, healthier, happier, more connected.
+Other people thought we were absolutely nuts when we decided to do this in 2004/5, but now many of
+those same people think we are smart and psychic.
+Problems finding a good school fit (despite having many award-winning excellent ones at our
+disposal) was probably the most specific moment (John Taylor Gatto says it best on why schools do not
+educate) that helped us
+to change as well as wanting more time together and forecasting the
+house/economy crash coming.
+I think more families will be taking mini-retirements and living slower, traveling digital nomadic lives.
+If you are away for months as a family, you need to be informed about all the wonderful educational
+opportunities which are actually richer than staying home (which few realize)!
+There are a TON of fantastic resources like Classroom 2.0 and many innovative educators online. My
+daughter just turned eight and is having a blast with her online course with John Hopkins
+University/CTY and it is also a nice resource for friends. Today one can immerse deeply in one culture

+and still maintain one's home culture. This is important information for families who still fear the
+outdated negatives on Third Culture Kids (TCK) based on studies from the fifties.
+Maya Frost® has excellent information about older kids and even a new paradigm when it comes to
+going to university. I think education is one of the things going through a total transition due to the
+Internet, and parents need this info to make important decisions.
+We have had a fantastic experience in going to a local school in Spain that has allowed my child to

+schools is needed and how to experience it as a family for months at a time.
+We have used local people like a wonderful flamenco teacher for our child and we have also used
+online sources like our piano teacher in Chicago who teaches our child in Spain via Skype.
+E-libraries are very important (especially with a child who is a voracious reader).

+FINANCIAL MUSING
+I graduated from Stanford University and started working in investment banking in July 2006, and, in
+a sick way, almost enjoyed it at first. Yes, it was a terrible lifestyle and all, but I was learning a lot and
+moving up very quickly. I have (had) a type-A personality, so it appealed to me on some level.
+As the year progressed, though, I realized it wasn't sustainable and that I wanted out... but like so
+many other people, I failed to take action immediately.
+In May 2007, I was driving home at 3 A.M. one night after having pulled 4-5 all-nighters previously,
+and crashed into a tree on the side of the road. If you've never crashed into an inanimate object while
+asleep at the wheel, just imagine waking up five feet from the ground while bungee jumping as the cord
+is about to snap to get an idea of what it feels like.
+"At the ER"
+That was the subject line of the e-mail I sent out the next day to my entire office. Luckily, everyone
+understood and told me to take a rare three-day weekend. Luckily I survived with no major injuries, but
+at that point I decided it was time for a change.
+I met up with some friends for dinner a week or two later and relayed my story. One friend there (who
+recently quit her job to pursue professional acting-her dream-while selling information products
+online) told me about this book she recently read called The 4-Hour Workweek.
+I thought it was a scam, of course, but I really hated my life and decided I needed to check it out at the
+very least. I read it in one sitting. And then I read it again, just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.
+Before ever getting into finance, I had done some work online with graphics and web design and I had a
+technical background, so nothing in the book seemed outrageous to me —I just didn't realize how easy
+and accessible it all was. Also, I had lived in Japan for half a year in college and loved it— and long-term
+world travel had always been one of my goals.
+I sat on the ideas in your book for a while, took a quick vacation to return to Japan in October 2007,
+and when I came back decided that I had to get started. My muse: sell an investment banking interview
+guide. It's a niche, high-demand subject and I knew I could make a better guide than anything else out
+there. One problem: I had to stay anonymous since I was still working, and advertising with Pay-Per-
+Click would be way too expensive given the high CPCs for related keywords.

+never had the time to finish my muse-the interview guide. But I was getting tons of requests to do
+consulting from my readers, so I started with resume editing and expanded into mock interviews-yes,
+not very "muse-like" but I charged high rates and could make my old salary in a fraction of the time. I
+did this ALL while staying completely anonymous out of necessity - because I didn't want to get fired
+without an alternative income stream. Amazingly, my services took off even though I couldn't tell
+anyone who I was.
+At the same time, I decided I would not get another job in finance, and would instead leave in June
+2008. So I had a very short amount of time to make everything work. Almost every single one of my
+friends, roommates, and family doubted me and said it would never work. I decided they were all wrong
+and I would just do it anyway -worst-case scenario, I could always reduce my expenses and move to
+Thailand to teach English.
+To boost my income, I completely revamped my site to sell more of my offerings, which took me
+from pocket change to full-time income from part-time consulting over July-August 2008. This allowed
+me to travel to Hawaii and Aruba to go snorkeling, surfing, and shark-cage-diving and visit friends in
+other parts of the U.S. all while making an investment banker's income from part-time work.
+As the recession and economy worsened, my business picked up because it was counter-cyclical -
+anything that helps people find jobs is in huge demand in a poor economy. I've since helped scores of
+laid-off bankers and other financiers find work elsewhere. However, I was also starting to work a lot
+more because I was effectively trading time for money ... so over the fall I started to work on my
+original product idea — my interview guide— and released it to great success later in 2008.
+It has gone on to free up a ton of time, double my revenues, and put the majority of my income on
+autopilot. If I didn't do any further work from this point onward, I could make 2-3x my previous
+monthly income simply by writing once or twice a week for my site (4-5 hours) and doing limited
+consulting on the side (10 hours). So you could say I've increased my income almost 3x while reducing
+my hours 6x-9x and making myself completely mobile.
+I admit that often I do "work" more than this, but it's all on related educational projects that I want to
+work on, not anything that I have to work on. And if I don't feel like working one week, I can reduce my
+hours to the 5-15 hour range and spend my time on learning languages, sports, or traveling to exotic
+destinations.
+This setup allowed me to take an amazing trip to China, Singapore, Thailand, and Korea in December-
+January and get in some ridiculous adventures. I'll be moving to Asia in a few months and after that,
+traveling the world indefinitely while running my business from coffee shops.
+Incidentally, I met up with a lot of customers in Asia who thought this was the coolest thing ever!
+Your book has changed my life and infinitely improved my lifestyle, and I just wanted to thank you
+for everything.

+WHO SAYS KIDS HOLD YOU BACK?
+My first action was to think "what is the worst that can happen on a scale of 1-10" if I quit my well-
+paid, very secure government job? The power of this thought process is incredible.
+I quit my job, sold my house, and went camping for three months with two kids under two and a half
+and a pregnant wife (mini-retirement). We (very slowly) drove the SE coast of Australia from Sydney to
+Adelaide.
+With the complete clarity of mind that comes from being in a field with your family with no
+immediate worries, I put into action a plan that I had been tinkering with for 12 months. I bought a
+wireless Internet dongle and created an info product for electrical engineers, and wrote some software to

+Managed this by (a) going on info diet, (b) working 9 p.m. -midnight in a campsite with no other
+distractions, (c) outsourcing everything that I would find difficult or time consuming (like the tricky
+programming stuff and the illustrations for my book).
+After about four weeks I had an automated informational website that had replaced ½ of my full-time
+income - requiring > four hours per week to maintain.
+The original plan was to arrive in Adelaide and get a J.O.B. But with my passive income, I decided to

+WORKING REMOTELY
+One month and one year ago, I read 4HWW on the recommendation of my sister's boyfriend after I
+had been talking for months about changing my life drastically and moving to Argentina to learn
+Castellano. After reading the book I stopped talking about my dreams and immediately started setting
+short-term and long-term goals. I bought a notebook to track my monthly goals and tasks. I did lots of
+research on potential remote working situations and I started telling my close friends and family about
+my new plans. Everyone that I told thought it was just an idea and I wasn't actually going to go through
+with it. They thought it was a "some day I'd like to do this" idea and that I wasn't actually setting daily
+goals to get me there. They knew that I loved my job so why would I leave it for a life of uncertainty? I
+didn't think of it that way. I wasn't scared, I was excited at the prospect of a new way of life, a fresh
+start, and even though I loved my job I also had other things I wanted to accomplish in my life. At first I
+thought about teaching English to make a living down there, but deep down inside all I really wanted to
+do was continue working for my current company, just doing it remotely. The book gave me the
+confidence to think this was actually possible, when everyone around me thought it was impossible.
+I decided to write up a proposal? and present it to my boss even at the advice not to do it from
+everyone I knew. If my boss rejected my proposal, I had enough money saved up to live in Argentina for
+at least six months to get me by until I could figure out how I wanted to make money there. I was not
+giving up on my dream of living a freer, happier life with less work and more time for myself. All odds
+were against me but I took a calculated risk and had faith in myself. After I handed in my proposal, I
+was ready to expect the worst. Everyone around me was waiting with baited breath and words of
+encouragement after I got rejected. When I left the meeting with my boss I couldn't believe it. She
+accepted and was eager to talk to me about the details. She even had a smile on her face and told me how
+awesome my proposal was. No one else could believe it when I told them. After the shock wore off, I
+realized that I could actually do this, and a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders. The hardest part
+was over and now I could start thinking of more possibilities for my new life.
+I set my goal to move to Argentina for September 2008. I arrived here on September 3 and have been
+here for about six months now. I live in the capital city of Jujuy, Argentina, a small province in the
+northwest of Argentina. I work about 5-10 hours a week and I find that I am much more focused now
+that I am out of the office and working alone. I have a private Spanish tutor that I meet with for two
+hours, five days a week. I have a handful of friends that I spend time with, practicing my Spanish. I go to
+the gym three times a week and go to yoga two times a week-something I didn't do in the States
+because I didn't have enough time. I eat healthier because I have more time to focus on what to eat. I
+have more time to dream up bigger things that I want to do with my new free time. I have dreams of
+owning a bar or cafe, so maybe a few years from now that will be my next endeavor.
+My advice to 4HWW readers is to take from my experience. I rely heavily on the advice of my friends

+KILLING YOUR BLACKBERRY
+I'm a 37-year-old Subway franchisee owning and operating 13 stores. Been doing this for seven years.
+Prior to reading 4HWW I was KING at W4W (translate: work for work's sake)! I'd never given myself
+"permission" to behave differently than I did as an employee in the past. 4HWW was absolutely
+liberating for me. I literally "caught myself" and began the process of curing my addiction to W4W. I
+used to always be "on" and I was never really "present" anywhere-too busy doing the "blackberry
+prayer" at the dinner table instead of spending quality time with those who were present. Holidays were
+just a remote office for battling the e-mail tsunami. 4HWW gave me a new paradigm and I began to
+look at my business as a "product," the (original) purpose of which was to provide me with a
+disproportionate amount of income vs. time invested personally by me-to what end? To ENJOY
+MYSELF and to have complete autonomy over my schedule and activities. So I got off my own back,
+told myself it was OK to pursue the original purpose and here's what I did:
+Crunched my "always open" workweek into four days and 20 hours. I immediately began taking
+Mondays OFF, giving me a nice three-day weekend. (Fridays are in the "CROSSHAIRS" next!) Tuesday
+to Friday I work 11 A.M.-4 p.m. (20 hours per week). With the "unluxury" of time in this crunched
+workweek I was forced to appraise everything through the 80/20 filter and found that 50% of the 80%
+was pure crap and the other 50% of the 80% could be done by someone on my payroll. Great!
+Everything I do now has to somehow either increase sales or decrease costs otherwise "it's someone
+else's job." You can't be "half-pregnant," so when I'm "on" I'm really on and when I'm "off" I'm off -
+good luck trying to contact me. I still carry portable e-mail but I've killed "auto-sync" (the bane of
+modern mankind in terms of interruption) now it's on a Tues-Fri, 11 A.M.-4 p.m. schedule. Outside of
+that window it waits.
+My e-mail autoresponder eliminated 50% of my e-mail within two weeks as people sending me
+meaningless crap got fed up looking at my autoresponder and stopped including me—love it! I keep a
+short, compact "to-do" list and anything time-bound is in my calendar. These get my attention before
+any other "inbox" does because I've previously decided what's important for me to get done — the rest
+can wait.
+I could go on, but all in all I think this is a message that the self-employed need to hear so badly. With
+no "boss" and no "clean edges" to work-life/home-life it's so easy to fall into a W4W grind and your
+business becomes a tractor beam that trails you inexorably down that path. 4HWW is the antidote!" -
+ANDREW, self-employed in the UK
+STAR WARS, ANYONE?
+I knew my quest for the 4-Hour Workweek was working when my daughter's kindergarten teacher
+asked her the question: "What kind of work does your father do?" As the teacher re-told the story back
+to me, it was my daughter's answer that really struck a chord. "Your daughter turned and looked up at
+me with the most serious look on her face and said, 'My dad just sits around and watches Star Wars all
+day.'"
+It's funny how this one simple question, and not to mention my daughter's answer, would be the
+moment of true 4HWW self-awareness for me. You see the answer my daughter gave her teacher has a
+deeper meaning. I believe what she meant to say, if she could articulate it, was "My dad sort of does
+whatever he wants to do."
+I read the 4HWW almost two years ago when I was on vacation at the beach with my family. I
+remember it well, because I kept reading parts of the book to my wife, bothering her to no end. I am a

+# house-oversight-014028
+
+developer and enterprise administrator for a large financial institution in Atlanta, Georgia. Part of my job
+is supporting the large complex document captures systems that I help build. Due to the importance of
+these systems I am expected to be reachable 24/7/365. That is good for job security, but can be bad for
+my family life. I have four beautiful children and I strive to be a true "hands-on" dad who is present in
+my family's daily lives. So armed with your book and a fresh (ocean air) perspective, I set out to put
+many of the 4HWW principles into practice.
+First, I worked on changing my e-mail habits. I took a hard look at my inbox and used several of the
+techniques outlined in the 4HWW to eliminate all the waste and noise. I formed new habits around
+batching my e-mail sessions and it didn't take long to achieve a zero inbox using the "trusted trio" folder
+method. I also applied the less is more philosophy to composing my e-mails. I went to great lengths to
+ensure I am as clear and concise as possible. Only communicating exactly what is needed to the right
+audience and not to the world. By eliminating all the noise and fat from my e-mail diet it became much
+more clear what "actions" or "to-do's" were important.
+Meetings and conference calls were the next area of attack. I scrutinized each meeting invite and
+began declining requests left and right. Most of the time I would claim I had too much going on to
+attend. I started asking for the minutes of the meeting or for someone to IM me if they had a specific
+question I needed to answer. When I do attend a meeting it is almost always via a conference call. Due
+to conference room restrictions and geographic challenges in our company most of our meetings are
+done virtually anyway.
+Less wasted time meant more time to focus on work and tasks that really mattered. I felt like I was
+doing less but getting more things done and with better results. The right people were starting to notice
+and the perception of my ability to get the job done had never been better. I was making my management
+look good, and when that happens they stop asking questions or micromanaging daily activities. I kept
+proving to them I can do it without interference. Now was the time to make the push for what I really
+wanted and that was to go virtual!
+Going virtual was actually very easy. I had a solid foundation with my manager and others in the
+chain of command. Almost all of my daily work was already remote-ready. At home, I have a great
+dedicated office in our finished basement. It is situated well away from the rest of the house and is
+mostly free of distractions. I have my own bathroom with shower and I even have a mini-fridge and
+microwave. I dare say that my home office rivals the amenities of the top executives at my company.
+Most of all, I have a wife and family that totally understand and respect the rules I set for myself to
+continue this success.
+At first, I worked one or two days a week from home, but it didn't take long before I found myself
+working four out of five days a week from home. When the Southeast was hit by the gas shortage and
+the price of gas nationwide was cresting $4 a gallon, the company made working from home even more
+accepted and official. I became an overnight model for others to follow. As people around me were in a
+panic as to how to get to work when no gas could be found, I was happily working away at home just
+business as usual.
+At this point, things were working better than I ever expected. Using my 4HWW skills I now had
+more time to be that hands-on dad I wanted to be. I became a regular up at the elementary school. I eat
+lunch in the cafeteria with my girls, especially on fried chicken day! I participate in a program called
+D.E.A.R. which stands for Drop Everything and Read, where a few times a month I come in and read to
+each class. I drive my kids to school and I get to see them when they come home. For my entire family, I
+am present in their everyday lives, and can't put a price on that. I felt like I had achieved my goal. That
+was that. So I thought...
+Other things started to happen. Without conscientiously knowing it, people around me at the school or
+church had a weird respect for me. I say weird because people literally mistook me as a doctor or just
+some sort of self-made millionaire. I am not kidding. There is this one guy who still calls me "Doc." I
+guess the reason for this is because most people still cling to the old stereotypes of what they think it is

+to be "rich." I always seem to show up for the school functions or just special days at the school, usually
+in casual attire and never obsessing over time or my Blackberry. Now I have people nominating me for
+things like committee chair on the PTA, and just recently I was elected to the board of directors at our
+local swim/ tennis club. The cool thing is, I actually have the time to do those things and still be
+effective at work and at home. It goes without saying that new doors are open to me now. More than ever
+before.
+With all of this going on around me I still come back to what my daughter said to her teacher. In truth,
+I am at a point where if I wanted to "sit around and watch Star Wars all day," I certainly could. But, I
+find myself filling the extra time now doing things that really mean something. Being present in the
+everyday lives of my family, helping my community, or volunteering at my church. Now I have a plan to
+take it to the next level and write my own book. The project I am working on is called The Virtual
+Employee Handbook. It is a collection of tips and how-to's on all the tools that are essential to the

+I he Fundamental Four are so named because they are the four borks l recommended to aspiting
+lifestyle designers prior to writing The 4-Hour Workweek. Still well worth reading, here is the sequence I
+suggest:
+The Magic of Thinking Big (192 pages)
+BY DAVID SCHWARTZ
+This book was first recommended to me by Stephen Key, an ultrasuccessful inventor who has made
+millions licensing products to companies, including Disney, Nestlé, and Coca-Cola. It is the favorite
+book of many superperformers worldwide, ranging from legendary football coaches to famous CEOs,
+and has more than 100 5-star ratings on Amazon. The main message is don't overestimate others and
+underestimate yourself. I still read the first two chapters of this book whenever doubt creeps in.
+How to Make Millions with Your Ideas:
+An Entrepreneur's Guide (272 pages)
+BY DAN S. KENNEDY
+This is a menu of options for converting ideas into millions. I read this when I was in high school and
+have read it five times since. It is like steroids for your entrepreneurship cortex. The case studies, from
+Domino's Pizza to casinos and mail-order products, are outstanding, even if outdated in a few instances.
+The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It (288 pages)
+BY MICHAEL E. GERBER
+Gerber is a masterful storyteller and his classic of automation discusses how to use a franchise mind-set
+to create scalable businesses that are based on rules and not outstanding employees. It is an excellent
+road map-told in parable-for becoming an owner instead of constant micromanager. If you're stuck in
+your own business, this book will get you unstuck in no time.
+Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel (224 pages)
+BY ROLF POTTS
+Rolf is the man. This is the book that got me to stop making excuses and pack for an extended hiatus. It
+covers bits of everything but is particularly helpful for determining your destination, adjusting to life on
+the road, and re-assimilating back into ordinary life. It includes great little excerpts from famous
+vagabonds, philosophers, and explorers, as well as anecdotes from ordinary travelers. This is the first of
+two books (the other was Walden, below) that I took with me on my first 15-month mini-retirement.
+Reducing Emotional and Material Baggage
+Walden (384 pages)
+BY HENRY DAVID THOREAU
+This is considered by many to be the masterpiece of reflective simple living. Thoreau lived on the edge
+of a small lake in rural Massachusetts for two years, building his own shelter and living alone, as an
+experiment in self-reliance and minimalism. It was both a huge success and a failure, which is what
+makes this book such a compelling read.

+Less Is More: The Art of Voluntary Poverty- An Anthology of Ancient and Modern Voices in Praise
+of Simplicity (336 pages)
+EDITED BY GOLDIAN VANDENBROECK
+This is a collection of bite-sized philosophies on simple living. I read it to learn how to do the most with
+the least and eliminate artificial needs, not live like a monk-big difference. It incorporates actionable
+principles and short stories ranging from Socrates to Benjamin Franklin and the Bhagavad Gita to
+modern economists.
+The Monk and the Riddle: The Education of a Silicon Valley Entrepreneur (192 pages)
+BY RANDY KOMISAR
+This great book was given to me by Professor Zschau as a graduation gift and introduced me to the
+phrase "deferred-life plan." Randy, a virtual CEO and partner at the legendary Kleiner Perkins, has been
+described as a "combined professional mentor, minister without portfolio, in-your-face investor, trouble-
+shooter and door opener." Let a true Silicon Valley wizard show you how he created his ideal life using
+razor-sharp thinking and Buddhist-like philosophies. I've met him- he's the real deal.
+The 80/20 Principle: The Secret to Success by Achieving More with Less (288 pages)
+BY RICHARD KOCH
+This book explores the "nonlinear" world, discusses the mathematical and historical support for the 80/20
+Principle, and offers practical applications of the same.
+Muse Creation and Related Skills
+Harvard Business School Case Studies www.hbsp.harvard.edu (click on "school cases")
+One of the secrets behind Harvard Business School's teaching success is the case method-using real-life
+case studies for discussion. These cases take you inside the marketing and operational plans of 24-Hour
+Fitness, Southwest Airlines, Timberland, and hundreds of other companies. Few people realize that you
+can purchase these case studies for less than $10 apiece instead of spending more than $100,000 to go to
+Harvard (not that the latter isn't worth it). There is a case study for every situation, problem, and
+business model.
+"This business has legs": How I Used Infomercial Marketing to Create the $100,000,000 Thighmaster
+Craze: An Entrepreneurial Adventure Story (206 pages)
+BY PETER BIELER
+This is the story of how a naïve (in the best sense of the word) Peter Bieler started from scratch - no
+product, no experience, no cash-and created a $100-million merchandising empire in less than two
+years. It is a mind-expanding and often hysterical case study that uses real numbers to discuss the fine
+points of everything from dealing with celebrities to marketing, production, legal, and retail. Peter can
+now finance the media purchases for your product: www.mediafunding.com.
+Secrets of Power Negotiating: Inside Secrets from a Master Negotiator (256 pages)

+immediately. I used the audio adaptation. If you're hungry for more, William Ury's Getting Past No and
+G. Richard Shell's Bargaining for Advantage: Negotiation Strategies for Reasonable People are
+outstanding. These are the only negotiating books you'll ever need.
+Response Magazine (www.responsemagazine.com)
+This magazine is dedicated to the multibillion-dollar direct response (DR) industry, with a focus on
+television, radio, and Internet marketing. How-to articles (increasing sales per call, lowering media costs,
+improving fulfillment, etc.) are interspersed with case studies of successful campaigns (George Foreman
+Grill, Girls Gone Wild, etc.). The best outsourcers in the business also advertise in this magazine. This is
+an excellent resource at an excellent price- free.
+Jordan Whitney Greensheet (www.jwgreensheet.com)
+This is an insider secret of the DR world. Jordan Whitney's weekly and monthly reports dissect the most
+successful product campaigns, including offers, pricing, guarantees, and ad frequencies (indicative of
+spending and, thus, profitability). The publication also maintains an up-to-date tape library from which
+infomercials and spot commercials can be purchased for competitive research. Highly recommended.
+Small Giants: Companies That Choose to Be Great Instead of Big (256 pages)
+BY BO BURLINGHAM
+Longtime Inc. magazine editor-at-large Bo Burlingham crafts a beautiful collage and analysis of
+companies that focus on being the best instead of growing like cancer into huge corporations. Companies
+include Clif Bar Inc., Anchor Stream Microbrewery, rock star Ani DiFranco's Righteous Babe Records,
+and a dozen more from different industries. Bigger is not better, and this book proves it.

+BY HOPE DLUGOZIMA, JAMES SCOTT, AND DAVID SHARP
+This was the first book to make me step back and say, "Holy sh*t. I can actually do this!" It steamrolls
+over most fear factors related to long-term travel and offers a step-by-step guide to taking time off to
+travel or pursue other goals without giving up your career. Full of case studies and useful checklists.
+Verge Magazine (http://vergemagazine.com)
+This magazine, formerly known as Transitions Abroad, is the central hub of alternative travel and offers
+dozens of incredible options for the non-tourist. Both the print and online versions are great starting
+points for brainstorming how you will spend your time overseas. How about excavating in Jordan or eco-
+volunteering in the Caribbean? It's all here.
+From the website: "Each issue takes you around the world with people who are doing something
+different and making a difference doing it. This is the magazine resource for those wanting to volunteer,
+work, study, or adventure overseas."

+CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS DURING
+CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS?
+APPLYING THE CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS
+ACT BEFORE CRIMINAL CHARGES ARE
+FILED
+PAUL G. CASSELL*
+NATHANAEL J. MITCHELL** &
+BRADLEY J. EDWARDS***
+This Article addresses whether crime victims should have rights during
+criminal investigations, using the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) as the
+focal point for our discussion. This is a critical issue, as many criminal
+cases may never proceed to formal charging. If crime victims have no
+rights during criminal investigations, then many crime victims will never
+have any rights at all.
+The issue of whether crime victims have rights in the criminal justice
+process recently came to a head when the Justice Department released a
+memorandum contending that the CVRA does not extend crime victims any
+rights until prosecutors choose to file formal criminal charges. This led the
+CVRA's Senate cosponsor, then-Senator Jon Kyl, to fire off an angry letter
+to the Justice Department attacking its position. In our Article, we side
+with the Act's cosponsor. We believe that, properly understood, the CVRA
+does extend crime victims' rights during criminal investigations.
+Our Article proceeds in four parts. First, it highlights the importance
+of applying the Act before the formal filing of charges by illustrating how
+dozens of victims in a notorious federal sex abuse case were deprived of the
+* Ronald N. Boyce Presidential Professor of Criminal Law, S.J. Quinney College of Law
+at the University of Utah.

+CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS
+61
+INTRODUCTION
+In recent years, federal and state enactments have given crime victims
+extensive rights to participate in criminal cases. Many of these rights apply
+only after the filing of criminal charges, such as the victim's right to be
+heard during court proceedings. A crime victim's right to deliver an impact
+statement at sentencing, for instance, can only be exercised after a
+prosecutor has filed charges against a defendant and obtained a conviction.
+Other rights, however, can apply even before the formal filing of charges.
+As one example, the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA)' extends to
+federal crime victims the right to "confer" with prosecutors. But can
+victims exercise this right before charges have been filed?
+This question has tremendous practical importance. In many cases,
+prosecutors negotiate pleas well before any charges are ever drafted. If
+crime victims' rights enactments do not extend rights to victims until the
+formal filing of charges, then crime victims can be effectively excluded
+from the plea bargaining process. Yet the exclusion of victims in early
+stages of a criminal case affects more than just the content of a plea deal.
+Crime victims will also lose other important rights in the process if the
+formal filing of charges is the necessary trigger for those rights. If, for
+example, prosecutors work out a nonprosecution agreement with
+an
+offender, they need not notify his victims of what they are doing or of the
+fact that potential charges will never be filed
+The issue of pre-charging rights has most prominently surfaced in
+connection with federal cases. In 2010, the Department of Justice's Office
+of Legal Counsel (OLC) weighed in on the issue and released a legal
+opinion arguing that victims of federal crimes have no CVRA rights during
+a federal criminal investigation? The Justice Department took the position
+that rights under the CVRA do not apply until prosecutors formally initiate
+criminal proceedings by filing a complaint, information, or indictment. The
+Department claims to find support for that limiting interpretation of the
+statute in its plain language and legislative history.
+Shortly after the Department released its opinion, one of the CVRA's
+congressional sponsors, then-Senator Jon Kyl, sent a letter to Attorney
+Control Ki did sinto is deceing the De aroners conclusione

+CVRA, it intended to protect crime victims throughout the criminal justice
+process-
+- from the investigative phases to the final conclusion of a case."3
+Senator Kyl contested the Department's analysis of the statute and, in
+particular, its use of statements from him during Congress's consideration
+of the CVRA
+This Article sides with the CVRA's cosponsor and concludes that
+crime victims' CVRA rights attach before formal charging. Both the
+CVRA's plain language and its legislative history lead inexorably to this
+conclusion, as every court that has considered this issue has concluded.
+This Article also contends that,
+as a matter of sound public policy, crime
+victims should have rights before the formal filing of criminal charges.
+This Article proceeds in four parts. Part I frames the issues under
+discussion by defending the importance of extending rights to crime victims
+during criminal investigations. Part I also provides background on victims'
+rights and gives a concrete illustration of a case in which the question of
+pre-charging rights for crime victims has arisen-specifically, the Jeffrey
+Epstein sex abuse case before a federal court in Florida. In that case, girls
+victimized by Epstein have argued that they should have been consulted
+about a federal nonprosecution agreement: Department attornevs have
+responded that because prosecutors never filed charges, government
+officials had no formal obligations to inform the girls.
+Part Il reviews the CVRA's purpose, text, structure, and legislative
+history.
+This review establishes that the CVRA extends rights to crime
+victims before formal charges are filed
+Part Ill critiques OLC's position that the CVRA extends rights to
+victims only after prosecutors have lodged charges in court.
+Department's proffered arguments do not withstand close scrutiny,
+particularly in light of the fact that the CVRA covers federal agencies
+and "investigation" of crime, * and specifically
+authorizes crime victims to file CVRA motions in situations where "no
+prosecution is underway."s
+Part IV then proposes a specific approach for determining when crime
+victims' CVRA rights attach. This Part explains that the rights should
+attach when federal law enforcement or prosecuting agencies have
+identified a federal crime and a particular victim with sufficient precision
+that they would send a "target" letter to a criminal defendant in similar
+circumstances. If prosecutors have sufficient information to provide notice

+to a potential criminal of his rights, they can do the same for his victims.
+This Part also notes that the Department of Justice and state prosecutors
+already successfully provide rights to victims before charging.
+successful experience strongly suggests that providing rights to victims
+early in the criminal justice process will not be unduly burdensome.
+I. THE ISSUE OF RIGHTS FOR CRIME VICTIMS DURING CRIMINAL
+INVESTIGATIONS
+To consider the question of whether victims should have rights during
+criminal investigations, some understanding of the underlying purposes of
+victims' rights enactments will be useful. These enactments are typically
+designed to make victims participants in all phases of the criminal justice
+process. Congress drafted the CVRA, for example, broadly to make crime
+victims participants in criminal cases. The Jeffrey Epstein sex abuse case
+demonstrates the importance of victim participation even before charges are
+A. A BRIEF HISTORY OF CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS
+The crime victims' rights movement has sought to make crime victims
+important participants in the criminal justice process. The movement began
+in the wake of the Warren Court revolution, which extended new rights to
+criminal defendants? With the courts paying increasing attention to
+criminal defendants, crime victims' advocates began to argue that the
+victims themselves had been overlooked. The movement gained great
+visibility in the early 1980s when President Ronald Reagan appointed the
+President's Task Force on Victims of Crime? The Task Force published a
+report concluding that "the criminal justice system has lost an essential
+balance.... The victims of crime have been transformed into a group
+oppressively burdened by a system designed to protect them.
+oppression must be redressed."10
+stages of the criminal justice process.
+The Task For chronicled how crime victims were treated in all
+e. g., 18 U.S.C. § 3771(a) (2012).

+victims' rights in American law and the early days of the modern movement).

+court proceedings, and ultimately to any parole or other release of the
+criminal. The Task Force then made a series of recommendations for all
+criminal justice agencies, including the police, prosecutors, and the courts."
+The recommendations were designed to allow crime victims to receive
+information about, and to participate in, criminal cases.
+In its most far-reaching recommendation, the Task Force proposed
+amending the U.S. Constitution to protect victims' rights.!? The proposed
+amendment would have built on existing constitutional rights for criminal
+defendants by extending similar rights to crime victims.13
+After the publication of the report, crime victims' advocates secured
+the passage of a series of state constitutional and legislative reforms. These
+measures guaranteed victims' rights in the criminal process, such as the
+right to be notified of court proceedings, to attend those proceedings, and to
+speak at appropriate points in the process, such as plea bargaining and
+sentencing.
+that thing the, seas cos stution odies in siate statures and it ims e
+While many of the measures had narrow participatory rights, l5 some of the
+amendments also contained more open-ended language, promising victims
+a right to fair treatment "throughout the criminal justice process." 16
+After successfully passing many state constitutional amendments,
+crime victims' rights advocates sought to achieve the Task Force's broadest
+recommendation: to secure protection for victims' rights in the U.S
+Constitution.
+In 1996, victims' advocates proposed a Victims' Rights
+Amendment in a Rose Garden ceremony attended bv President Bill
+Clinton.'' The proposed amendment contained a list of rights for crime
+victims, largely paralleling the rights contained in state victims' rights

+amendments.'8 Congress considered the amendment several times, but it
+never obtained the requisite two-thirds support in both houses to secure the
+Amendment's approval." Critics quarreled not so much with the goals of
+the amendment but rather with the necessity of constitutionalizing such
+rights.20
+B. THE CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS ACT
+Unable to obtain the necessary supermajority to pass a federal
+constitutional amendment, in April 2004, crime victims' rights advocates
+decided to focus on federal legislation protecting crime victims.
+In
+exchange for backing off from their efforts to pass a constitutional
+amendment, crime victims' advocates received near-universal congressional
+support for a "broad and encompassing" statutory victims' bill of rights.?1
+Victims' advocates sought to expand on the protections found in other
+previously-enacted victims' rights statutes, including, notably, the Victims'
+Rights and Restitution Act of 1990.22 That statute had also included a bill
+of rights for crime victims, yet because of limited enforcement mechanisms,
+crime victims had been unable to secure court protection of the rights listed
+in the statute.23
+The statute that Congress passed to solve these problems-the Crime
+Victims' Rights Act of 2004-gave victims "the right to participate in the

+system."4 It extended broad rights to crime victims, including "[the right
+to be treated with fairness and with respect for the victim's dignity and
+privacy's and "It|he reasonable right to confer with the attorney for the
+Government in the case."26 It also commanded that these rights must be
+afforded by the Justice Department "and other departments and agencies of
+the United States engaged in the detection, investigation, or prosecution of
+crime."27 The CVRA also contained specific enforcement mechanisms.
+The Act provided that rights can be "assertled]" by "[the crime victim or
+the crime victim's lawful representative, and the attorney for the
+Government.
+228 The courts were also required under the Act to "ensure
+that the crime victim is afforded the rights" given by the law.?)
+Congress appeared to have at least two goals in mind in passing the
+CVRA. The first was simply to ensure that crime victims understood what
+was happening in the criminal justice process. This goal is apparent from
+e fact that the CVRA gives crime victims rights to notification abo
+trious court hearings, as well as more general rights to confer wi
+prosecutors and to be treated with fairness 30 The CVRA's Senate sponsors
+explained:
+In case after case we found victims, and their families, were ignored, cast aside, and
+treated as non-participants in a critical event in their lives. They were kept in the dark
+by prosecutors to[o] busy to care enough, by judges focused on [defendants'] rights,
+and by a court system that simply did not have a place for them 31
+In passing the CVRA, Congress
+sought to change the system's
+obliviousness to crime victims that often "left crime victims and their
+families victimized yet again. "32
+A second overarching purpose of the CVRA was to allow crime
+victims to play a role in the criminal justice process. Through the CVRA,

+establishing a victim's right "to participate in the process where the
+information that [victims] and their families can provide may be material
+and relevant ..."35
+Congress appears to have had both intrinsic and instrumental reasons
+for wanting crime victim participation. Congress clearly thought that such
+participation was valuable in its own right. Senator Kyl embodied this
+belief and explained his decision to become involved in the crime victims'
+rights movement because of his discovery that victims:
+were suffering through the trauma of the victimization and then being thrown into a
+But Congress also thought crime victim participation in the criminal
+justice system could be instrumentally useful. For example, in protecting a
+victim's right to be heard by those determining a defendant's sentence, a
+victim might be able to provide important information that could alter that
+sentence. As a result, the sentence might reflect a fuller appreciation of the
+danger posed by a defendant, and the judge might take appropriate steps to
+prevent others from being victimized. 37
+Congress also intended to ensure that crime victims were not
+revictimized in the criminal justice process—that is, that they would not
+suffer what scholars have called "secondary harm" in the process38 The
+concern is that victims suffer when they are excluded from the criminal
+justice process. Congress sought to end that suffering by making victims
+meaningful participants in criminal cases. 39

+CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS
+69
+Epstein spent much of the jail term on "work release" to his luxurious
+office. 45
+The U.S. Attorney's Office did not tell Epstein's victims about the
+nonprosecution agreement until well after it had taken effect.
+contrary, even after the nonprosecution agreement had been signed, the
+Office continued to tell the victims that the case was still "under
+investigation" and that they should be "patien[t]."46 When the victims
+learned of the agreement, two of them (Jane Doe Number One and Jane
+Doe Number Two filed suit in federal court under the Crime Victims'
+Rights Act, arguing that the prosecutors had violated their CVRA right to
+confer as well as their right to be treated fairly.47 The victims contended
+that prosecutors should have conferred with them about the nonprosecution
+agreement before it became final.
+In response, the U.S. Attorney's Office argued primarily that it was
+under no obligation to extend the victims any rights under the CVRA. It
+was the Government's blunt position that "CVRA rights do not attach in the
+absence of federal criminal charges filed by a federal prosecutor."48
+short, the Government argued it was not required to confer in any way with
+the victims, or even treat them fairly, because the CVRA was not yet in
+play. The issue is thus squarely framed: Is the Government correct in its
+assertion that it has no CVRA obligations in cases like the Epstein case
+where federal prosecutors never lodged federal charges against a suspect?
+In view of the CVRA's prominence, resolution of this issue may shed
+important light on the nature of crime victims' enactments and the breadth
+of the role that crime victims should have in the criminal justice process.
+II. THE CVRA'S APPLICATION BEFORE FORMAL CHARGES ARE FILED
+To analyze the issue of whether the CVRA extends rights to crime
+victims before prosecutors have formally filed charges, it is useful to look at
+the CVRA's purposes, language, and judicial interpretations. This Part
+looks at each of these three issues in turn.

+[Vol. 104
+A. THE CVRA'S PURPOSES
+An analysis of the CVRA's application before prosecutors have filed
+charges must begin by assessing the CVRA's purposes because any
+interpretation of the CVRA that is divorced from the statute's purposes
+would run the risk of defeating the statute's aims. It is axiomatic that courts
+should "give faithful meaning to the language Congress adopted in the light
+As discussed above, one important goal of the CVRA was to keep
+rime victims informed about any developments in the criminal justice
+rocess. But the need to be informed does not begin with the filing of
+formal criminal charge. A crime victim needs to know what is happening
+refore formal charging-during a criminal investigation, for example-jus
+as much as she needs to know what is happening in court. Indeed, she mas
+have a greater need to know, as she may be concerned that the criminal who
+harmed her is still on the loose, posing a danger to her.
+Similarly, concerning the second
+purpose-facilitating
+victim
+-without a right to pre-charging involvement, victims may
+be effectively shut out of the process entirely. The Epstein case provides a
+useful illustration of why the CVRA must be understood to extend rights to
+victims prior to indictment. The prosecutors handling the investigation
+reached an agreement with Epstein that barred federal prosecution of sex
+oftenses committed against dozens of victims, including Jane Doe Number
+One and Jane Doe Number Two. If CVRA rights did not extend to the
+negotiations surrounding the agreement, then the victims never would have
+had any ability to participate in the resolution of the case.52
+A construction of the CVRA that extends rights to victims before
+charges are filed would be entirely consistent with the CVRA's
+participatory purpose. If victims have the ability to participate in a pre-
+charging plea bargaining process, for example, victims can help ensure that
+deal. For example, victims might be able to obtain agreement to a "no
+contact" order or valuable restitution-points that the prosecutor might fail

+to consider in crafting a plea. Similarly, allowing victims to participate
+early in the process avoids retraumatizing victims. Again, as the Epstein
+case usefully illustrates, it may be extremely difficult for victims to
+discover after the fact that potential criminal charges against a criminal who
+has abused them have been secretly bargained away. Jane Doe Number
+One and Jane Doe Number Two, for example, were outraged when they
+discovered prosecutors had entered into an agreement blocking any
+prosecution of sex offenses Epstein committed against them-and all
+without telling them 53
+In short, the purposes animating the CVRA all suggest that the Act
+was meant to, and should, extend rights to crime victims before formal
+charges are filed
+B. THE CVRA'S PLAIN LANGUAGE
+While the general purposes of the CVRA support a broad
+interpretation of the Act, it is important to examine whether those purposes
+have been expressed in the Act's language. Without a linkage to the Act's
+text, the general purpose might not provide a sound basis for
+interpretation. But the CVRA's plain language makes clear that Congress
+intended for the law to provide at least some rights to crime victims
+throughout the criminal justice process, even before the filing of criminal
+According to its text, the CVRA provides eight specifically
+enumerated rights for crime victims and an additional right to be reasonably
+notified of these rights. Some of these rights presuppose the formal filing
+of criminal charges. For instance, the CVRA extends to victims the "right
+to reasonable, accurate, and timely notice of any public court proceeding."56
+That particular right obviously does not apply before charges are filed, as
+no "court proceedings" exist before a defendant is charged.
+But the CVRA also promises crime victims rights that are not
+specifically tied to court proceedings. Perhaps most expansively, the
+CVRA guarantees victims the "right to be treated with fairness and with
+53 Without disclosing confidential attorney-client communications, this fact is readily
+apparent from victims' filings in the Epstein case. See, e.g., Jane Doe Motion, supra note 40, at
+17 (stating that the victims relied on the U.S. Attorney's Office representatives "to their
+detriment ,l" that if they knew the true facts, "they would have taken steps to object" to the plea
+agreement, and that they believed criminal prosecution to be "extremely important").
+54 See ANTONIN SCALIA & BRYAN A. GARNER, READING LAW: THE INTERPRETATION OF
+55 18 U.S.C. § 3771(a) (2012) (enumerating eight rights); id. § 3771(c)(1) (requiring
+government officers use "their best efforts" to notify victims of their rights).

+respect for the victim's dignity and privacy,"s a broad right that does not
+appear to be directly linked to a filed court case. Similarly, the CVRA
+promises victims the "reasonable right to confer with the attorney for the
+Government in the case."ss In this section, the CVRA's drafters appear to
+have eschewed a reference to court proceedings, using a broader term
+instead. Of course, a "case" can refer both to a judicial case before a court
+and an investigative case pursued by a law enforcement officer. It is
+common usage to say such things as, "The police officer investigated and
+solved the case." Dictionary definitions of the word "case" support this
+varied interpretation.9
+If there remained any doubts about whether the CVRA applies during
+the investigative part of the criminal justice process, two other provisions in
+the CVRA resolve them. The CVRA specifically directs that "lo]fficers
+and employees of the Department of Justice and other departments and
+agencies of the United States engaged in the detection, investigation, or
+prosecution of crime shall make their best efforts to see that crime victims
+are notified of, and accorded, the rights described in [the CVRA]."60 Of
+course, there would be no reason to direct that agencies involved in the
+"detection" and "investigation" of crime have CVRA obligations if the Act
+did not extend to pre-charging situations. Congress thus directly envisioned
+the victims' rights law to apply during the "detection" and "investigation"
+phases of criminal cases.
+Similarly, the CVRA's venue provision instructs that crime victims
+who seek to assert rights in pre-charging situations should proceed in the
+court where the crime was committed: "The rights described in subsection
+(a) lof the CVRA] shall be asserted in the district court in which a
+defendant is being prosecuted for the crime or, if no prosecution is
+underway, in the district court in the district in which the crime occurred."61
+Here again, it is hard to see why this provision would be necessary unless
+the CVRA applies before the formal filing of charges.
+For all these reasons, the CVRA's plain language indicates that the
+victims have protected rights under the Act even before charges are filed.

+CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS
+C. COURTS RECOGNIZE THAT CRIME VICTIMS HAVE CVRA RIGHTS
+BEFORE CHARGING
+Because crime victims lack a right to appointed counsel, many victims
+have difficulty litigating the scope of their rights. But in a few cases
+victims have been able to secure counsel to argue that they have rights ir
+he criminal justice process during the investigation of federal crimes
+When those cases have reached the issue of whether the CVRA applies
+before charges have been filed, courts have uniformly agreed with the
+victims' position.
+Perhaps the leading case to date to assess this question is the Fifth
+Circuit's decision in In re Dean. There, a wealthy corporate criminal

+The Fifth Circuit's decision in Dean has been cited favorably in four

+CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS
+75
+Perhaps the most extensive discussion of this issue has come from the
+Epstein case discussed earlier." Overruling the Government's argument
+that the CVRA only applies after the formal filing of charges, Does v.
+United States held that "the statutory language clearly contemplates pre-
+charge proceedings."78
+The court in Does explained that "[clourt
+proceedings involving the crime are not limited to post-complaint or post-
+indictment proceedings, but can also include initial appearances and bond
+hearings, both of which can take place before a formal charge."?9 The court
+also noted that the CVRA's "requirement that officials engaged in
+'detection [or] investigation' [of crimes] afford victims the rights
+enumerated in subsection (a) surely contemplates pre-charge application of
+the CVRA."" Finally, the court in Does noted that "[ilf the CVRA's rights
+may be enforced before a prosecution is underway, then, to avoid a strained
+reading of the statute, those rights must attach before a complaint or
+indictment formally charges the defendant with the crime?81
+In sum, the relevant case law unanimously agrees that the CVRA
+extends rights to crime victims before charges have been filed.
+III. THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT'S UNPERSUASIVE POSITION
+Despite the CVRA's broad remedial purposes, its expansive language
+referring to investigations, and the unanimous case law extending rights to
+victims prior to defendants being charged, the OLC released a
+memorandum in 2011 concluding that CVRA rights attach only "from the
+time that criminal proceedings are initiated (by complaint, information, or
+indictment)."82 OLC's analysis is unpersuasive. Although OLC's opinion

+[Vol. 104
+invokes the CVRA's definition of crime "victim," its legislative intent, and
+its structure, a closer reading of each demonstrates little support for the
+notion that crime victims must await the formal filing of charges before
+accruing CVRA rights.
+A. OLC'S MISREADING OF THE CVRA'S DEFINITION OF "VICTIM"
+OLC's lead argument is that the CVRA's definition of "victim"
+presupposes that criminal charges have been formally filed.83 The CRA
+defines a "victim"
+darines a "artim" ho is protected as a person directly and provinately
+the word "offense," OLC concedes that it does not "conclusively resolve"
+the question of when rights attach. Nevertheless, OLC claims that the word
+"naturally suggests that a person's status as a 'crime victim' can only be
+determined after there has been a formal decision to charge a defendant
+with a particular Federal offense."85 OLC goes on to elaborate:
+Under this reading, the earliest that a "crime victim" under the Act could be identified
+would be upon the filing of a criminal complaint-that is, at the earliest point at which
+there is a sworn written statement of probable cause to believe that a particular
+defendant committed an identified Federal offense and hence the first point at which it
+is possible with any certainty to identify a "crime victim" directly and proximately
+harmed by the commission of that offense.
+OLC is disingenuous in asserting that the "first point" at which a
+person has been harmed by a federal crime arises only after a criminal
+complaint has been filed.
+The Department routinely makes such
+determinations at earlier points in criminal cases, such as when it sends a
+"target letter" to a defense attorney during a grand jury investigation.
+Indeed, OLC remarkably ignores the fact that the Department is directly
+required to identify victims of a crime before the filing of a criminal
+complaint, both by statute and through internal policy directives.
+The Victims' Rights and Restitution Act of 1990 (VRRA)88 requires
+the Department to identify victims before the filing of a criminal complaint.

+CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS
+77
+Passed in 1990, the VRRA provided crime victims with a set of procedural
+rights similar to those found in the CVRA, along with rights to notification
+about victim services.89
+In 2004, the CVRA repealed and replaced the
+section of the VRRA listing procedural rights, while leaving other parts of
+the VRRA intact.º Under the remaining parts of the VRRA, the Justice
+Department must inform victims of federal crimes of services that are
+available to them, including "emergency medical and social services,"
+counseling, and support.'l
+The Department is further obligated to keep
+victims fully informed about "the status of the investigation of the crime, to
+the extent it is appropriate to inform the victim and to the extent that it will
+not interfere with the investigation."92
+These rights to notice about
+"emergency medical and social services"'3 as well as to the "status of the
+investigation of the crime"* obviously require the Department to identify
+victims of federal crimes before formal charges have been filed. Indeed, the
+VRRA makes this point clear by directing the Department to not only notify
+the victim about the status of the investigation but also about the later
+"filing of charges against a suspected offender."9s The VRRA then extends
+victims' rights to information through the rest of the criminal justice
+process by requiring the Department to provide notice to victims of such
+things as the imposed sentence and the defendant's release. 96
+The VRRA not only requires the Department to identify victims during
+the investigation of a crime, it also defines those victims in a very similar
+fashion to the CVRA. The VRRA defines "victim" as a "person that has
+suffered direct physical, emotional, or pecuniary harm as a result of the
+commission of a crime."? Thus, the Department is already routinely
+identifying persons who have been "harmed" by federal crimes shortly after
+the commission of those crimes and well before formal charging.
+The Attorney General has also promulgated internal guidelines
+requiring Justice Department components to identify victims rapidly after a
+crime. The Attorney General Guidelines for Victim and Witness Assistance
+provide that "Department responsibilities to crime victims begin as soon as
+possible after the detection of a crime at which they may be undertaken

+without interfering in the investigation. Generally, this point in time is
+defined by the opening of a criminal investigation."98
+Given the way the two statutes work, it would make no sense to
+artificially confine the CVRA's reach until after the filing of a criminal
+complaint. Before then, victims will have often received information from
+the Department about the status of the investigation. They might wish to
+confer with prosecutors about how the case is proceeding, and the CVRA
+extends to them a right to confer." Similarly, while the Department is
+notifying victims about the services they may receive and the status of an
+investigation, it is important that the victims be treated fairly. The CVRA
+extends the right to be treated fairly. 100 Indeed, it would be absurd to think
+that Congress wanted to permit the Justice Department to treat crime
+victims unfairly until criminal charges have been filed.
+Instead of recognizing Congress's intent, OLC's 2011 memorandum
+simply cites to a series of cases in which courts concluded that a victim of
+uncharged conduct should not be afforded statutory protections.!01 Yet
+none of these cases-United States v. Turner,102 Searcy v. Paletz, 103 or
+Searcy v. Skinner!04— provide strong support for OLC's position. Turner is
+a particularly poor fit. Although OLC's memorandum characterizes Turner
+as excluding victims of uncharged conduct,' the magistrate judge adopted
+an inclusive reading of the statute precisely because of his reservations
+about the CVRA's legislative history and plain language.
+The judge
+suggested that "any person who self-identifies as [a victim]" could be
+presumed to qualify for protection under the CVRA as a preliminary
+matter. 10 In fact, the line quoted by the Department is lifted out of context.

+Paletz and
+Skinner similarly provide
+scant support
+for the
+Department's position. In Skinner, a prison inmate attempted to bring a pro
+se civil suit against another inmate for allegedly attacking him during
+incarceration. 108
+In dismissing the suit in an unpublished decision, the
+district court recognized that the Government had expressly declined to
+bring charges against the other inmate and concluded that the CVRA did
+not create a
+"mechanism to bring an action against Defendant directly."109
+In Paletz, that same inmate brought a similar pro se claim against another
+inmate, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the FBI, and the U.S. Attorney
+General. 10 In a parallel, unpublished decision, the district court dismissed
+the suit, noting that the CVRA is designed to give victims certain rights
+"within the prosecutorial process against a criminal defendant." 'll
+Because Skinner and Paletz involve (apparently frivolous) civil suits,
+they say nothing about the CVRA's reach in criminal cases, and any
+language to that effect would be pure dicta. Moreover, the courts' terse
+analysis in both cases does not contain any substantive discussion of
+whether CVRA rights apply in criminal cases before the filing of charges.
+Instead, the courts simply cited to language from a Second Circuit decision
+that stated that the CVRA does not give victims any rights against
+defendants until those defendants have been convicted 12—a holding clearly
+limited to restitution, as many other CVRA rights clearly apply before
+conviction. 113

+[Vol. 104
+vastly overstates its position when it asserts that "most courts ... have
+declined to extend enforceable rights under the CVRA to alleged victims of
+conduct that did not lead to criminal proceedings."lls All the courts that
+have actually reached the issue have concluded exactly the opposite. !16
+B. OLC'S DISTORTION OF THE CVRA'S STRUCTURE AND LEGISLATIVE
+HISTORY
+The next section of OLC's memorandum maintains that the CVRA's
+structure and legislative history lead to the conclusion that the CVRA is
+"best understood" as extending rights after charges have been filed. Here
+again, OLC's analysis is truncated at best and misleading at worst.
+OLC begins this part of its analysis by observing that some of the
+rights in the CVRA are limited to court proceedings. OLC notes, for
+example, that the CVRA gives victims the "right to reasonable, accurate,
+and timely notice of any public court proceeding …. involving the
+crime."!!? But the fact that some of the rights listed in the CVRA apply to
+court proceedings hardly means that all of the rights are to be so restricted
+The federal criminal justice process includes stages that are pre-charging,
+post-charging, and post-conviction. It would hardly be surprising to find
+that a statute that Congress intended to be "broad and encompassing"118
+covered events occurring after the filing of charges.
+Indeed, OLC appears to recognize that at least three of the rights listed
+in the CVRA could easily apply before charges are filed: (1) the "right to be
+reasonably protected from the accused"; (2) the "reasonable right to confer
+with the attorney for the Government in the case"; and (3) the "right to be
+treated with fairness and with
+respect for the victim's dignity and
+privacy."'1' None of these rights explicitly refer to court "proceedings" or
+other events (such as parole hearings) that necessarily occur after the filing
+of formal charges. 120
+embrace the CaR is i und note 2, the 6, Meal, Pale darions does use

+CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS
+81
+For purposes of this Article, it is appropriate to focus on the last two of
+these three rights: the right to confer and the right to fair treatment. The
+first of these three rights-the right to be reasonably protected—is already
+clearly extended by another statute to crime victims before the filing of
+charges. While OLC does not acknowledge this fact, the VRRA extends
+the first right to crime victims, directing that a "responsible official shall
+arrange for a victim to receive reasonable protection from a suspected
+offender and persons acting in concert with or at the behest of the suspected
+offender."121
+Because a "suspected" offender obviously exists before the
+filing of criminal charges, the VRRA envisions the right to protection being
+provided as soon as is practical after a victim suffers from the commission
+of a crime. Additionally, the sections of the Attorney General Guidelines
+for Victim and Witness Assistance addressing the VRRA direct that Justice
+Department components must provide reasonable protection even before the
+filing of criminal charges. 22 So, under the VRRA, the Justice Department
+should already be providing reasonable protection for a victim before an
+offender is indicted, regardless of how the CVRA is interpreted 23
+The VRRA, however, does not contain a right to confer and a right to
+fair treatment and respect for the victim's dignity. Therefore, if victims are
+going to receive these statutory rights before trial, these rights must be
+the "reasonable right to confer with the attorney for the Government in the
+case,"l24 OLC contends that "[t]he phrase 'in the case' implies the pendency
+of a judicial proceeding."l2s To bolster its conclusion, OLC then cites
+Black's Law Dictionary, which includes among its several definitions of the
+does not acknowledge that Black's Law Dictionary also defines and
+Nock as Die dinin a civil or criminal proceding drines ac
+exemplifies a "case"
+more broadly as a "criminal investigation <the

+necessary to explore this right in detail. If other CVRA rights apply before charges are filed,
+a fortiori this right does as well. If a victim has a right, presumably the victim should be
+notified of the existence of that right.

+Manson case>."127 Thus, Black's Law Dictionary does not help resolve the
+dispute as to which of the two meanings should be used, as there are clearly
+differing meanings. While OLC's reading may be a permissible one, so is a
+pro-victim reading.
+OLC also turns to the CVRA's legislative history to bolster its
+conclusion. But, here again, its analysis is misleading. OLC relies on a
+passage from Senate floor colloquy between Senators Jon Kyl and Dianne
+Feinstein regarding the CVRA's scope. In OLC's recounting of the
+legislative history, the floor statements "emphasize that the right to confer
+relates to the conduct of criminal proceedings after the filing of charges."128
+For instance, OLC quotes Senator Kyl stating that "[under this provision,
+victims are able to confer with the Government's attorney about
+proceedings after charging."129
+This is a truncated and deceptive description of the legislative history,
+so much so that Senator Kyl sent an angry letter to Attorney General Eric
+Holder complaining about the distortion. On June 6, 2011, the Senator
+wrote to "express [his] surprise that [OLC is] so clearly quoting [his]
+remarks out of context."130 Senator Kyl then went on to observe that the
+colloquy began by noting that the right to confer "is intended to be
+expansive."131 The Senator further discussed various "examples" of when
+the right to confer applied, including "any critical stage or disposition of the
+case. The right, however, is not limited to these examples."132
+against that backdrop that Senator Kyl gave the example of conferring
+about proceedings "after charging.
+In his letter to Attorney General Holder, Senator Kyl also noted that he
+had:
+made clear that crime victims had rights under the C VRA even before an indictment is
+filed. For example, ... I made clear that crime victims had a right to consult about
+both 'the case' and 'case proceedings' —i.e., both about how the case was being
+handled before being filed in court and then later how the case was being handled in

+CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS

+to extend rights before indictment 34 Thus, if anything, the legislative
+history does not support OLC's conclusion-it contradicts it. 135
+OLC should have had no doubt as to the intent of Senator Kyl and his
+cosponsors at the time of the Act's passage. Shortly after shepherding the
+CVRA through the Congress, Senator Kyl cowrote a law review article
+about the Act.!36 In that article, he directly indicated that the CVRA applies
+before charges are filed. Senator Kyl and his coauthors wrote:
+While most of the rights guaranteed by the CVRA apply in the context of legal
+proceedings following arrest and charging, other important rights are triggered by the
+harm inflicted by the crime itself. For example, the right to be treated with fairness,
+the right to be reasonably protected from the accused (who may qualify as the accused
+before his arrest), and the right to be treated with respect for the victim's dignity anc
+privacy each may arise without regard to the existence of legal proceedings. 137
+Remarkably, OLC cited Senator Kyl's law review article (in a footnote), but
+then concluded without explanation that the CVRA cosponsor's views were
+for some reason different than Congress's.138
+OLC also appears to acknowledge that its interpretation of the CVRA
+could well contradict what it describes as prosecutorial "good practice." 139
+OLC noted that some Justice Department components (for example, the
+Environmental and Natural Resources Division) had advocated that the
+right to confer should apply during pre-charging plea discussions. 40 OLC
+then acknowledged that limiting the right to confer until after formal
+charging could "reduce the impact of a victim's participation in subsequent
+court proceedings."141 OLC attempted to dodge this problem by explaining:
+"The question before us, though, is not whether it would be advisable as a
+matter of good practice ... for Government attorneys to confer with victims
+pre-charge when appropriate ...
+3142 OLC then explained that even under
+its narrow interpretation of the statute, "the CVRA would still ensure that
+135 Attorney General Holder never sent a response to Senator Kyl's letter. But Assistant
+ttorney General Ronald Weich sent a belated response. Letter from Ronald Weich, Assistar
+tty Gen., to Jon Kyl, U.S. Sen. (Nov. 3, 2011) (on file with authors). That response did no

+the victim has an opportunity to be heard by the court, and by the
+Government, before the court accepts the plea." 143
+But OLC failed to recognize that its interpretation of the CVRA
+rendered the right to be heard a nullity in many important cases-including,
+notably, the Epstein case. 4 Where prosecutors and defense attorneys work
+out a nonprosecution agreement that agreement will never be presented to a
+court for review. Thus, in cases where the need for victim participation
+may be the greatest— that is, in cases where the Government is considering
+never filing any charges-OLC's interpretation would bar victims from
+having any rights at all.
+Even in situations where a prosecutor works out a plea agreement,
+-C's interpretation is problematic. As OLC recognizes, prosecutors al
+efense counsel commonly work out pre-indictment plea agreemen
+(particularly in white-collar cases), under which a defendant will plead
+guilty to certain charges.45 Then, the parties jointly present to the district
+court a criminal "information" (that is, a recitation of the charges drafted by
+the prosecutor but never presented to the grand jury!46) and a plea
+agreement, asking the court to file the criminal information and
+simultaneously accept the guilty plea.
+As the OLC memorandum
+acknowledges, a crime victim would have the right to object to the plea
+agreement, because the CVRA gives crime victims the "right to be
+OLC's interpretation of the CVRA, a crime victim has no right to notice of
+court hearings until the charges are filed. Thus, if the information and plea
+are filed simultaneously, as is often the case, two scenarios are possible. A
+victim could have no prior right to notice of the proceeding at which the
+plea was being accepted, or alternatively (if the act of filing the information
+in the course of accepting a plea triggers a notification right), the district
+court would be required to stop in the middle of proceedings and ensure that
+notification was belatedly provided. Of course, these difficulties are all

+CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS
+85
+More importantly, extending
+the right in this fashion will not be
+unduly burdensome for federal prosecutors. After the OLC memorandum
+was made public, the Department amended the Attorney General
+Guidelines for Victim and Witness Assistance to require prosecutors to
+make reasonable efforts toward a goal of providing victims with a
+meaningful opportunity to offer their views before plea agreements are
+formally reached. 148
+"In circumstances where plea negotiations occur
+before a case has been brought, Department policy is that this should
+include reasonable consultation prior to the filing of a charging instrument
+with the court."149 Thus, Department policy already extends pre-charging
+rights to victims. The CVRA should be understood as having the same
+OLC also notes that the CVRA right "to be treated with fairness and
+with respect for the victim's dignity and privacy" is a right that could apply
+before charges are filed. 150 Indeed, OLC is forced to concede (as district
+courts have recognized) that the "right to be treated with fairness and with
+respect for the victim's dignity and privacy may apply with great force
+during an investigation, before any charging instrument has been filed."151
+OLC nonetheless maintains that the right to fairness only applies after
+charges have been filed. OLC relies on the canon of statutory construction
+noscitur a sociis, meaning that words are known by their companions, 152 for
+its interpretation of the CVRA. OLC argues that because the other seven
+enumerated rights are limited to post-charging situations, the eighth right
+should be as well. Of course, this argument assumes that OLC's
+construction of the other seven rights is correct—a point very much in
+dispute.153 If, for example, the right to confer applies before charges are
+filed, then presumably noscitur a sociis would cut the other way-the right
+to fairness should likewise be construed as applying before charges are
+Moreover, OLC omits from its discussion of the fairness provision any
+assessment of the CVRA's purposes. In construing a statute, a court must
+consider the "purpose and context" of the statute.154 In describing the

+VENUE PROVISIONS
+At the end of its memorandum, OLC finally discusses what it
+identifies as the two strongest arguments for construing the CVRA as
+applying before charging: the coverage provision and the venue provision.
+OLC acknowledges, as it must, that the CVRA's coverage extends to any
+federal employee engaged in "the detection, investigation or prosecution of
+crime."158 Such employees "shall make their best efforts to see that crime
+victims are notified of, and accorded, the rights" afforded by the statute.159
+Notably, this duty applies to individuals not just in the Justice Department
+(where all federal prosecutors are located) but other agencies as well, such

+This coverage provision would seem to answer any lingering question
+about whether the CVRA applies before charging. In directing that federal
+employees engaged in the "detection" and "investigation" of crime must
+respect victims' rights, Congress wanted broad rights extending beyond just
+the prosecution of a case. As the district court concluded in the Epstein
+case, this provision "surely contemplates pre-charge application of the
+LC gamely maintains. however. that Congress was simply trying t
+rovide that federal law enforcement agents should provide rights t
+victims when a criminal case moves to its prosecution phase. OLC noted
+the uncontroversial point that law enforcement agents "often develop a
+relationship of trust with crime victims during the investigation that
+continues as they assist crime victims in negotiating active criminal
+proceedings."162 OLC then asserted:
+Given this continuing active role that agents typically play during criminal
+prosecutions, we find the fact that the CVRA assigns responsibility to them, together
+with the attorney for the Government, to ... accord them their rights under the CVRA
+to be entirely consistent with our conclusion that those rights arise only once the
+Government has initiated criminal proceedings. 163
+But OLC's contorted position never explains why Congress found it
+necessary to break out three separate phases of the criminal justice process:
+the "detection," "investigation," and "prosecution" of crime.
+congressional intent was simply to cover, for example, FBI agents or EPA
+agents during the post-charging phase of a case, it could have simply
+omitted those words from the CVRA. An FBI agent, for example, would be
+engaged in the "prosecution" of the case when assisting the victim after the
+formal filing of charges.
+On OLC's reading of the statute, the words
+"detection" and "investigation" become meaningless, contrary to the well-
+known canon of construction verba cum effectu sunt accipienda, which
+means that, if possible, every word and every provision is to be given
+effect. 164
+OLC also suggests that the "most significant" argument supporting

+crime victims to assert CVRA rights "in the district court in which a
+defendant is being prosecuted for the crime or, if no prosecution is
+underway,
+in the district court in the district
+in which the crime
+occurred. "165
+The Department contends that this language refers quite
+narrowly to the "period of time between the filing of a complaint and the
+initiation of formal charges."16 In support of its position, the Department
+cites a Fourth Circuit case interpreting the Sixth Amendment right to
+counsel, which held that a "prosecution" for purposes of that Amendment
+does not begin when a criminal complaint is filed 167 In OLC's view, the
+venue provision's direction that victims should assert rights when "no
+prosecution is underway" applies only to the limited time between when the
+Government files a complaint against a defendant and some later point
+when the "prosecution" actually begins. OLC notes that the filing of a
+complaint triggers an initial appearance, where crime victims can have
+important interests at stake, such as the right to be heard about a
+defendant's release on bail. OLC believes it is only to such post-complaint,
+yet pre-indictment, proceedings (i.e., the initial appearance) that the venue
+provision's "no-prosecution-underway" language covers.
+As a preliminary matter,
+OLC's interpretation of the word
+"prosecution" in the Department's narrow construction of the venue
+provision is a twisted one, at odds with the way that term is conventionally
+used. The filing of a complaint is typically viewed as the start of a criminal
+prosecution. For example, the leading criminal procedure hornbook states
+that "[with the filing of the complaint, the arrestee officially becomes a
+'defendant' in a criminal prosecution."168
+Moreover, having specifically rejected the filing of the criminal
+complaint as the starting point for a "prosecution" within the CVRA's
+venue provision, OLC refuses to consider the implications of its alterative
+starting point: the formal filing of an indictment. OLC states that "a
+prosecution of a felony must commence with the return of an indictment by
+a grand jury," citing the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.!69 Yet OLC
+does not pause to recognize that, while felonies proceed by way of
+indictment, misdemeanors can proceed not only by indictment but also by
+complaint. 170 The CVRA draws no distinction between misdemeanor and

+felony offenses, broadly extending its protections to victims of any federal
+offense.!7 Thus, under OLC's interpretation that the filing of a complaint
+does not trigger the CVRA, many victims who are entitled to CVRA
+protections—i.e., victims of misdemeanor offenses prosecuted by way of
+complaint-will never have proper venue to assert those rights because,
+according to OLC's strained argument, no prosecution ever started in their
+cases.
+Even limiting the focus to felony cases, OLC misleadingly describes
+the Sixth Amendment case law. It is not immediately clear why one would
+look to the right to counsel to determine the breadth of the term
+"prosecution" in the Sixth Amendment. The right to counsel is not the only
+right found in that Amendment. The Amendment also extends, for
+example, a right to a speedy trial in all criminal "prosecutions."172 The case
+law on the speedy trial right makes clear that the right "may attach before
+an indictment and as early as the time of arrest and holding to answer a
+criminal charge."173
+In any event, the right to counsel cases are quite clear in providing that
+a Sixth Amendment "prosecution" can (and often does) begin well before
+an indictment. 174
+The Supreme Court has directly held that the Sixth
+Amendment's right to counsel attaches "at or after the time that judicial
+proceedings have been initiated against [a person] -'whether by way of
+preliminary hearing,
+indictment, information, or
+arraignment?"17s Thus, under this controlling precedent, some earlier point
+in time before indictment is the triggering point of a Sixth Amendment
+"prosecution."
+The cases that OLC cites are not to the contrary. It is true that some
+federal appeals courts have stated that the mere filing of a criminal
+complaint does not trigger a Sixth Amendment right to counsel. 176
+there is a split of authority on this question, as OLC acknowledges in a

+that the mere filing of a complaint does not start a Sixth Amendment
+prosecution also make clear that a later court hearing would start such a
+prosecution. For instance, in the Fourth Circuit case cited by OLC, United
+States v. Alvarado, the court reasons that "the main reason a law
+enforcement officer files ll a complaint is to establish probable cause for an
+arrest warrant. The criminal process is still in the investigative stage, and
+the adverse positions of government and defendant have yet to solidify." 178
+Relying on that reasoning, the Fourth Circuit refused to find that the right to
+counsel had attached merely because a police officer had filed a complaint
+to get an arrest warrant. But the Fourth Circuit distinguished that situation
+initiation of adversary judicial proceedings against the
+defendant."179
+An initial appearance would be such an adversary
+proceeding— i.e., it would be a "prosecution" under the Sixth Amendment.
+In light of this, OLC's position that the CVRA's venue provision's "no-
+prosecution-underway" reference covers proceedings, such as an initial
+appearance, does not work
+The only sensible way to construe the CVRA's venue provision is to
+read it as conveniently dividing criminal cases into two phases: a
+prosecution phase and an earlier investigative phase when "no prosecution
+is under way."180 Senator Kyl, for instance, has noted that if there are any
+doubts about how to construe the CVRA, this venue provision "sweeps
+them away."181
+Once again, the language that Congress used leads
+inexorably to the conclusion that the CVRA extends rights to victims before
+the filing of criminal charges.
+IV. WHEN PRE-CHARGING RIGHTS ATTACH UNDER THE CVRA
+The zeal with which OLC argues against applying CVRA rights before
+charging raises the question of why it protests so much. Although OLC
+never articulated this concern, perhaps OLC worried that pre-charging
+rights would be difficult to administer. Such concerns should evaporate
+with a workable construction of when pre-charging rights attach. In this
+Part, we propose such a construction, suggesting that CVRA rights should
+attach when substantial evidence exists that a specific person has been

+it has extended many rights to victims before the formal filing of criminal
+charges as a matter of internal policy. 18 This approach appears to be
+workable, as a number of states extend rights to victims during the
+investigative process. 183
+A. A TEST FOR DETERMINING WHEN RIGHTS ATTACH
+As explained in the earlier Parts of this Article, the CVRA clearly
+envisions that crime victims would have rights in the criminal justice
+process before the return of indictments or the filing of criminal complaints.
+The question then as to how much earlier in the process crime victims have
+rights naturally arises. Does the CVRA apply one second after a federal
+crime has been committed? Or does it apply at some later point during an
+investigation?

+underlying the case, the charged crime did not include various victims. A
+later superseding indictment broadened the charges to include those missing
+individuals. When they brought a suit under the CVRA, the court noted
+that "[aluite understandably, movants perceive their victimization as having
+begun long before the government got around to filing the superseding
+indictment."184 The court, however, explained that there must be "logical
+limits' to crime victims' rights before the filing of charges 185 The court
+For example, the realm of cases in which the CVRA might apply despite no

+of court hearings and to attend those hearings.187 So it is instructive to
+notice that the Justice Department policy is to extend certain rights to
+suspected criminals during certain points in the investigative process. That
+policy might provide guidance on when crime victims' rights would attach.
+Of particular interest here is the Department's policy for grand jury
+subpoenas issued to a "target" of a criminal investigation. When such a
+target is subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury, the Department of
+Justice will advise that target of his rights, such as the right to refuse to
+answer any question that might be incriminating. 188 The Department of
+Justice defines a "target" of a criminal investigation as "a person as to
+whom the prosecutor or the grand jury has substantial evidence linking him
+or her to the commission of a crime and who, in the judgment of the
+prosecutor, is a putative defendant. 189
+If the Department's investigation has coalesced sufficiently so that it
+can provide notice of rights to putative defendants, it should likewise be in
+a position to provide notice of rights to that defendant's victims.
+Combining the Department's definition of "target" with the CVRA's
+coverage and definition-of-victim provisions produces a formulation
+whereby CVRA rights attach in (at least) the following circumstances:
+CVRA rights attach when an officer or employee of the Department of
+Justice or any other department or agency of the United States engaged in
+the detection, investigation, or prosecution of crime has substantial
+evidence that an identifiable person has been directly and proximately
+harmed as a result of the commission of a federal offense or an offense in
+the District of Columbia, and in the judgment of the officer or employee,
+that person is a putative victim of that offense.
+This formulation borrows from the CVRA's coverage provision 9 to
+define the relevant universe of substantial evidence as that in the possession
+of the Justice Department or other federal agencies. For instance, if state
+law enforcement officers are investigating a bank robbery, the fact that the
+robbery might also be prosecuted federally 9 does not make the teller at the
+bank a federal "victim" of the crime until evidence regarding the crime
+comes into the possession of a federal agency. The formulation also tracks
+the CVRA's definition of "victim" in limiting the universe of potential

+CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS
+93
+victims to those who have been "directly and proximately harmed."192
+Finally, the formulation requires some federal officer or employee to
+evaluate the evidence and reach the conclusion that a federal offense has
+been committed that harmed the person in question. This determination
+responds to the observation by the District Court for the Eastern District of
+New York that the CVRA "cannot be read to include the victims of
+uncharged crimes that the government has not even contemplated."193 At
+the same time, such a formulation obviously does not require the filing of
+formal criminal charges, or even the preparation of formal criminal charges.
+Instead, all that is required is for the Department to recognize that a person
+is a putative victim of a federal offense, just as all that is required for the
+mailing of a target letter to a subpoenaed suspected criminal, is recognition
+that he is a putative defendant in a federal case.
+B. APPLYING THE TEST TO THE EPSTEIN CASE
+To illustrate how the test would operate, it is useful to examine the
+facts of the Epstein case. Applying the proposed test to that case produces
+straightforward answers, which suggests that the test would be workable in
+practice.
+From 2001 to 2007, Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused more than thirty
+minor girls in his mansion, including Jane Doe Number One and Jane Doe
+Number Two 194 Initially, of course, his acts of abuse were secret, unknown
+to law enforcement. During that period of time, the victims would not have
+had rights under the CVRA.
+In 2006, Epstein's acts of abuse came to the attention of the Palm
+Beach Police Department, which began investigating the case.l9 At this
+point, once again, the victims would not have had rights under the proposed
+CVRA test. The CVRA extends rights in the federal criminal justice
+process. A state investigation does not trigger the CVRA (although it may
+trigger certain state law protections, as discussed below). 196
+At some point in 2006, the Palm Beach Police Department asked the
+FBI to investigate Epstein on federal sex offenses, such as using a means of
+192 See id. § 3771(e).
+193 United States v. Rubin, 558 F. Supp. 2d 411, 419 (E.D.N.Y. 2008).
+194 As above, see supra notes 34-41 and accompanying text, this part of the Article
+draws on the factual allegations made by the victims in this case-allegations that Epstein
+has not intervened to dispute. See Jane Doe Motion, supra note 40, at 3-23

+interstate communication in connection with sex offenses and traveling in
+interstate commerce for the purpose of engaging in illicit sexual conduct
+with minors.!97 The local police provided the FBI with information, which
+the FBI then investigated. Following an investigation, the FBI determined
+that the allegations of abuse against Epstein were credible, and it presented
+the case to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida.
+In 2007, the Office contacted counsel for Jeffrey Epstein and began
+negotiating a resolution of the case against him. 198
+Under our proposed test, the victims would not have had CVRA rights
+the first moment that the FBI became aware of Epstein's possible
+commission of sex offenses.
+But after the FBI developed substantial
+evidence of those sex offenses, identified victims of those offenses, and
+presented the case to the appropriate U.S. Attorney's Office for prosecution,
+CVRA rights would have attached. Accordingly, the FBI would have been
+required to notify the identified victims of their rights under the CVRA (as
+well as under the VRRA). From that point forward in the case, the victims
+would have had CVRA rights, such as the right to fair treatment and the
+right to confer with prosecutors. In this case, the victims would have had
+the right to confer with prosecutors about the nonprosecution agreement
+that they ultimately reached with Epstein.199
+C. CURRENT DEPARTMENT POLICY ON PRE-CHARGING RIGHTS
+One objection that might be made to the formulation offered above is
+that it might unduly burden federal law enforcement officers and
+prosecutors, who would need to make judgment calls about when an
+investigation has coalesced to the point where "victims" are in existence,
+"substantial evidence" has been collected, and notice of rights has to be
+provided. Any such objection would be ill-founded, though, as it does not
+appear that
+implementing such an approach would be difficult.200
+Presumably the Justice Department has already been providing such rights
+in at least Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi to comply with the Fifth
+197 See 18 U.S.C. §§ 2422(b), 2423(b), (e) (2012).

+CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS
+95
+Circuit's 2008 ruling in In Re Dean, which held that the CVRA extends
+rights to victims before defendants are charged.201
+We have not seen any
+reports that providing the rights has been difficult.
+Perhaps the reason for the lack of any reported difficulty is that the
+Jepartment's current policy on crime victims' rights already requires
+notices to victims during
+investigations.
+The Justice Department has
+promulgated the Attorney General Guidelines for Victim and Witness
+Assistance, the latest edition of which is from May 2012. The Guidelines
+discuss crime victims' rights under both the CVRA and the earlier VRRA.
+Because of the OLC memorandum discussed above, the Guidelines limit
+CVRA rights until after the time "when criminal proceedings are initiated
+by complaint, information, or indictment."202 The Department, however,
+provides hortatory guidance that Justice Department employees shall make
+"best efforts" to notify crime victims about their CVRA rights "as early in
+the criminal justice process as is feasible and appropriate."203
+Of greater interest, however, is the Department's mandatory policy
+regarding notification regarding crime victim services under the VRRA.
+The Guidelines explain how "Department responsibilities to crime victims
+begin as soon as possible after the detection of a crime at which they may
+be undertaken without interfering in the investigation."204 The Guidelines
+with "information about services available to them."20s This information
+must be provided at "the earliest opportunity after detection of a crime at
+which it may be done without interfering with an investigation.
+The Department appears to have little difficulty implementing this
+requirement. Evidence of this fact comes from the Justice Department
+itself, which responded to the letter from Senator Kyl discussed earlier
+questioning why the Department was not applying the CVRA before
+charges were filed 207 In its response, the Department noted that OLC had
+issued an opinion that the CVRA did not extend rights before the formal
+of charges.208 "Even so," the Department explained,
+, "the new AG
+Guidelines go further and provide that Department prosecutors should make

+[Vol. 104
+reasonable efforts to notify identified victims of, and consider victims®
+views about, prospective plea negotiations, even prior to the filing of a
+charging instrument with the court."209
+The Department also noted that it provided extensive pre-charging
+notifications to victims under the VRRA:
+Pursuant to the Victims' Rights and Restitution Act of 1990 (VRRA), the Department
+provide such services to thousands of victims every year, whether or not the
+investigation results in a federal prosecution. 210
+Quantifying the scope of this undertaking with regard to one federal
+investigative agency, the Department explained:
+[The [FBI] alone reports that it provided more than 190,000 services to victims
+during the past fiscal year [FY 2011], including case status updates, assistance with
+compensation applications and referrals, and counseling
+referrals.
+From sexual
+assaults in Indian Country to child pornography and human trafficking to mass
+violence and
+overseas terrorism, FBI victim specialists
+provide much-needed
+immediate and ongoing support and information to victims. The FBI addresses victim
+safety issues when needed, providing on-scene response and crisis intervention
+services in thousands of investigations.
+With regard to sexual assault victims, FBI
+personnel arrange for and often accompany victims to forensic sexual assault medical
+examinations and provide assistance with HI V/STD testing. 211
+In view of the Department's existing notifications and provision of
+services before charges are filed under the VRRA, it is hard to conceive
+how any viable claim could be made that it would be difficult to provide
+similar rights under the CVRA. The four rights that would be potentially in
+play before charging would be the right to reasonable protection, the right
+to fair treatment, and the right to confer with prosecutors, along with the
+predicate right to notice of these rights.212 The VRRA already requires the
+Department to provide reasonable protection, so this would not be an
+expanded obligation. 213
+Similarly, the Guidelines already require
+prosecutors
+confer with victims about plea agreements (the most
+common situation where victims want to confer). so it 1s hard to imagine
+how extending this right would create any undue burden. 214 Additionally,
+the right to
+"fair treatment" could only be a problem if the Department

+CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS
+97
+wanted to treat victims unfairly. Given its repeated and professed
+commitment to crime victims, here too this obligation should not be
+burdensome. And finally, with regard to providing notice of CVRA rights
+to victims, the fact that the Department currently provides notice of VRRA
+rights indicates that it should not be difficult to provide notice of CVRA
+rights as well.
+Indeed, it is possible that the Department's notification letters under
+the VRRA already include this information. Interestingly, in the Epstein
+case, the FBI notified Jane Doe Number One and Jane Doe Number Two
+that they had rights in the criminal justice process. As early as June 7,
+2007—more than three months before it concluded a nonprosecution
+agreement with Epstein-the U.S. Attorney's Office sent a notice to Jane
+Doe Number One stating "your case is under investigation."215 The notice
+also informed Jane Doe Number One that "as a victim and/or witness of a
+federal offense, you have a number of rights."2l6 Among the rights that the
+U.S. Attorney's Office told Jane Doe that she possessed was "[the
+reasonable right to confer with the attorney for the United States in the
+case."217 Of course, she would not have had those rights if she was not
+covered by the CVRA. The FBI therefore apparently assumed that the
+CVRA already applied in the Epstein case. It was only later, when the
+matter went into litigation, that the Department of Justice reversed course.
+This change in course underscores the problems arising out of the OLC
+memorandum and the Department's current interpretation of the CVRA.
+D. STATE LAW EXTENSION OF PRE-CHARGING RIGHTS
+The focus of this Article so far has been crime victims' rights in the
+federal system. But in concluding, it is instructive to note how a number of
+states offer parallel rights for crime victims, including the right to confer
+with prosecutors. In fact, several states have extended such rights prior to
+formally filing of charges against defendants-without reported difficulty,
+so far as we are aware.
+This confirms our inference that extending CVRA
+rights to crime victims before the formal filing of criminal charges is both
+feasible and desirable.

+the criminal justice process. 218 Moreover, every state has adopted a statute
+that either enforces its constitutional amendment or creates independent
+statutory rights for crime victims21º As a result, state legislatures and state
+employees have attempted to give victims a voice in the criminal justice
+process across the country.
+Notably, while the strength of these rights varies from state to state, 220
+nearly forty states require the prosecuting attorney to notify or confer with
+the victim regarding plea negotiations.21 Several jurisdictions involve the
+victim in the charging decision. 222
+In some states, law enforcement and
+prosecutors must involve the victim at any "critical'223 or "crucial'224 stage
+of the criminal proceeding; and in a minority of jurisdictions, the judge
+must ascertain whether the prosecutor has afforded the victim statutory
+protections prior to accepting a plea agreement.22s
+The general contours of state provisions suggest that several state
+governments have recognized the value in informing victims of their rights
+and involving them in the criminal process prior to the formal filing of
+charges 226 Indeed, a brief look at the statutory protections illustrates the
+extent to which states have attempted to afford protections to victims long

+CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS
+99
+For example, Arizona has adopted a constitutional amendment and
+statutes that expansively protect victims. Under Arizona law, the definition
+of victim hinges on whether a criminal offense has been committed, and the
+term "criminal offense" is defined as "conduct that gives a peace officer or
+prosecutor probable cause to believe" a crime has occurred 227 In short, a
+victim's status does not hinge on the formal filing of charges but rather on
+the criminal conduct itself228 Arizona law enforcement personnel must
+give information to victims describing their rights as soon as possible, even
+if formal charges have not yet been filed, and a victim may request that the
+prosecutor discuss the disposition of the case, including "a decision not to
+proceed with a criminal prosecution, dismissal, plea, or sentence
+negotiations and pretrial diversion programs."229 A victim may even pursue
+some rights if counts are dismissed 230 Arizona courts have also permitted
+victims to
+invoke their rights in the context of civil forfeiture
+proceedings. 231
+Hawaii's victims' rights statute illustrates how a state has defined the
+term "case"
+more expansively than the limited definition advocated by the
+Department in order to facilitate victim participation. By statute in Hawaii,
+victims must, upon request, be informed of "major developments" in any
+felony case.232
+Along a similar vein, the prosecuting attorney must consult
+or advise the victim about any plea negotiations 233 Interestingly, however,
+the Hawaii legislature defined "major developments" as "arrest or release of
+the suspect by the police, case deferral by the police, referral to the
+prosecutor by the police, rejection of the case by the prosecutor, preliminary
+hearing date, grand jury date, trial and sentencing dates, and the disposition
+"234 The usage of the term "case" and the plain language of the
+provisions demonstrate that victims in the State of Hawaii are entitled to a
+notification right and a possible consultation right long before formal
+charges are filed
+227 ARIZ. REV. STAT. ANN. § 13-4401(6) (2010) (emphasis added); see State ex rel.
+Thomas v. Klein, 150 P.3d 778, 780-81 (Ariz. Ct. App. 2007) (noting the original version
+defined a criminal offense as a violation of a statute).

+Other states also expressly extend rights before the filing of charges.
+Colorado guarantees rights at "all critical stages of the criminal justice
+process,I" which includes both the filing of charges and the decision to not
+file charges. 235 In Missouri, victims have the right:
+n charged cases or submitted cases where no charge decision has yet been made, t
+e informed by the prosecuting attorney of the status of the case and of the availabilit
+lof different forms of compensation and assistance] and of any final decision by the
+prosecuting attorney not to file charges. 236
+In New Jersey, officials typically send a letter informing the victim "that the
+case has been referred to the prosecutors' office and explains and offers the
+services available from the country office of victim-witness advocacy.'237
+Subsequent letters to the victim ensure that the victim has notice of a series
+of decisions long before indictment,238
+and the office actively solicits
+information in order to "help the prosecutor's office decide whether or not
+to prosecute a case."239 Along a similar vein, the Massachusetts legislature
+included a provision that makes it clear that nothing should prevent a
+prosecutor from providing victim services to persons injured by the
+commission of a crime, even though a complaint or indictment has not yet
+been issued. 240
+In addition to extending rights before the filing of charges, several
+states require consultation before the prosecutor reaches a plea agreement
+with the defendant. For example, Idaho's statute provides that a victim
+must be given an opportunity "to communicate with the prosecution in
+criminal or juvenile offenses, and be advised of any proposed plea

+CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS
+101
+crimes or crimes against children."41 In Indiana, the plain language of its
+statute leaves open the possibility of a conferral right before formal charges
+to the extent that the statute includes two separate time frames: "after a
+crime ... has been charged" or "before any disposition of a criminal case
+involving the victim.' 242
+To be sure, not all states have afforded victims a voice throughout the
+entirety of the criminal justice process.243
+ambis of the nina justic pros, there is eat sata he sting rigars
+until after the filing of charges.
+For example, Louisiana constrains the
+conferral right to criminal matters "in which formal charges have been filed
+by the district attorney's office?"245 Yet, unlike the federal CVRA, this
+statute specifically excludes pre-charging situations. And, in any event,
+despite Louisiana's limitation on a particular right within the statute, the
+legislature in this state still often saw fit to provide the victim with
+notification rights, even in the absence of the formal filing of charges. 246
+Very few state courts have ever considered the precise issue of
+whether conferral rights may attach prior to the formal filing of charges.
+This is likely caused by the fact that, unlike the federal statute, many state
+statutes fail to provide the victim with a procedural mechanism for
+challenging the conduct of prosecutors or law enforcement agencies.247
+However, in rare cases, state courts have implicitly recognized that a
+meaningful interpretation of victims' rights should include some rights prior
+to filing.
+For example, a Connecticut court concluded that a company injured by
+the delinquent act of a minor was entitled to information about the case
+241 IDAHO CODE ANN. § 19-5306(1)(1) (2004). As in the case of most of the state
+statutes, the Idaho statute is not without ambiguity. A different provision within the statute
+makes the notification right contingent "[u]pon the filing of a criminal complaint or juvenile
+petition..." Id. § 19-5306(2).
+242 IND. CODE ANN. § 35-40-5-3(b) (West 2012); id. § 35-40-1-1 (failing to define "case").
+243 See, e.g., MD. CONST. art. 47(b) ("In a case originating by indictment or information
+filed in a circuit court, a victim of crime shall have the right to be informed ....")
+214 In Delaware, for example, the statute contains an additional limitation in the conferral
+provision that is noticeably absent from the duty imposed on law enforcement to provide
+information about the victim's rights to that victim. Compare DEL. CODE ANN. tit. 11,
+requirements after the Attorney General commences the prosecution), with DEL. CODE ANN.
+tit. 11, § 9410 (2007). Query whether the limitations imposed in one section should be
+inferred in the other under the doctrine of expressio unius est exclusio alterius.

+contained in a police file in a civil proceeding, even though it appears thai
+there was little indication that criminal charges had been filed 248 Similarly.
+the South Carolina Supreme Court, while limiting the ability of the victim
+to challenge the conduct of a prosecutor, concluded that the same rights
+inder the state constitution must attach prior to the formal filing of al
+indictment. 249
+Other courts have even permitted a victim to recove:
+In other words, while few state judiciaries have addressed the precise
+timing of state crime victims' rights, those that have addressed the question
+have typically found that the rights do extend to pre-charging situations.
+Despite the relative dearth of state court cases, it is worth noting that
+most state statutes unequivocally provide for notification rights early in the
+criminal process251 For example, the Illinois statute imposes a limited duty
+on law enforcement agencies to keep victims informed of the status of an
+investigation until the accused is apprehended or the agency discontinues
+the investigation. 252
+Similarly, law enforcement agencies in Iowa must
+keep the victim apprised of the investigation "until the alleged assailant is
+apprehended or the investigation is closed."233 Michigan's statute requires
+law enforcement to provide information within a mere twenty-four hours of
+contact between the agency and the victim. 254
+In sum, while state law on crime victims' rights before charging is not
+fully developed, what law exists tends to support the position that crime
+victims deserve rights before the formal filing of charges. This law fits the
+long-standing trend in states toward expanding protections for crime

+CRIME VICTIMS' RIGHTS
+103
+victims? The decision by state legislators to extend notification or
+conferral rights to crime victims demonstrates an express recognition that
+crime victims' meaningful participation in the criminal justice process may
+involve granting those victims rights before indictment.
+CONCLUSION
+Crime victims have important rights at stake in the criminal justice
+process, even before prosecutors formally file criminal charges. It is hardly
+surprising, therefore, to find that a federal law that Congress in fact
+designed to create "broad and encompassing" rights for victims protects
+victims during a criminal investigation.
+As this Article has explained,
+interpreting the CVRA to cover crime victims during the pre-charging
+phase of a case is consistent with the statute's purposes, text, legislative
+history, and interpretive case law. And state criminal justice systems also
+appear to be moving in that direction.
+The Justice Department's contrary interpretation seems unlikely to
+prevail when challenged. The CVRA signals a paradigm shift in the way
+that crime victims are to be treated, at least within the federal criminal
+justice system. Before enactment of the law, federal investigators and
+prosecutors might have been able to keep victims at arm's length, refusing
+to confer with them about the case and otherwise ignoring or even
+mistreating them during the process. But those days are over. The CVRA
+promises victims that they now have the right to confer with prosecutors
+and the right to be treated fairly while their cases are investigated. It is time
+for the Department of Justice to recognize and embrace that new reality.
+255 See Jeffrey A. Parness et al., Monetary Recoveries for State Crime Victims, 58 CLEV.
+ST. L. REV. 819, 850 (2010); Tobolowsky, supra note 221, at 59 (describing a "significant
+expansion of victim rights to be consulted by the prosecutor and heard by the court").

+COME NOW Jane Doe No. 1 and Jane Doe No. 2 (the "current victims"), by and through
+undersigned counsel, to file this response to the Supplement to Reply in Support of Motion for
+Limited Intervention by Alan Dershowitz (DE 317-1). Dershowitz claims that an affidavit

+respect to her claims against [him]." DE 317-1 at 1. The affidavit proves nothing of the sort.
+Indeed, if recent pleadings show anything, it is that Dershowitz continues to hide the truth about

+Before turning to the specifics of what Dershowitz argues in his supplement, it is even
+more important to consider what he fails to argue. In neither his original reply (DE 306) nor his
+recent supplement (DE 317-1) has Dershowitz provided specific evidence to contest Jane Doe
+No. 3's allegations that he sexually molested her.
+This omission is revealing, because
+Dershowitz has repeatedly claimed in the media that he has irrefutable proof that her allegations
+are false. For example, on January 7, 2015, on the Fox Business (Lou Dobbs) program,

+3 Jane Doe No. 3 explained in her earlier response that the Court should not allow
+Dershowitz to intervene here because he can protect his (alleged) reputational interests in the
+pending defamation action. DE 291 at 11-12). The Court may be interested to learn that
+Dershowitz has recently filed a counterclaim against Edwards and Cassell for defaming him in
+that action - suggesting he can litigate his reputational interests there, and thus has no need to do
+so here.

+Case 9:08-CV-80736-KAM Document 319-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/24/2015 Page 4 of 34
+In his most recent supplemental filing with this court (DE 317-1), Dershowitz twists the
+facts and jumps to conclusions in service of his crusade against Jane Doe No. 3. For example,
+Dershowitz notes that Jane Doe No. 3 told attorney Edwards before April 2011 that Dershowitz
+had abused her, but then says "she and Edwards sat on this highly charged accusation for three
+years and eight months before first using it in their [sic] pleading filed on December 30, 2014.
+This constitutes laches that prejudiced
+... Dershowitz ...." DE 317-1 at 2. Dershowitz ignores
+the key fact that in April 2011, attorney Edwards did not represent Jane Doe No. 3. Accordingly,
+he could not "sit" on her claims against Dershowitz because he was not empowered, at that time,
+to pursue them. *
+With regard to the claim of laches, Dershowitz argues that he has been prejudiced
+because if the allegations had been filed earlier, "he would have been in a far better position to
+secure travel and other records needed to disprove these charges." DE 317-1 at 2. But, as noted
+above, Dershowitz has already told worldwide news media that he has already collected all of the
+records and can provide irrefutable, documentary proof that Jane Doe No. 3 is lying. For
+example, Dershowitz has told the Boston Globe that "he will use his travel and credit card
+records, which he said he has fastidiously saved, to refute the allegations against him."s
+4 Nor did Jane Doe No. 3 sit on any claims against Dershowitz, notably claims relating to
+the CVRA case. In 2011, Jane Doe No. 3 lacked legal counsel regarding the CVRA claim. It
+was not until her recent return from Australia to the United States that she understood the claims
+involved in the CVRA action and obtained legal counsel to pursue them. See DE 310-1 at 8, 1
+57.

+Dershowitz can't have it both ways - simultaneously claiming he has the records and that he is

+CONCLUSION
+The Court should deny Dershowitz's motion to intervene.

+Plaintiffs, Bradley J. Edwards and Paul G. Cassell, by through their undersigned

+M. Dershowitz has refused to produce.
+Dershowitz has told numerous media sources that he has collected documents that
+provide "absolute proof" that he has not sexually abused a minor woman known as "Jane Doe
+No. 3." And yet despite having received a valid discovery request for these and other related
+documents more than 45 days ago, Dershowitz has refused to produce these documents to
+Edwards and Cassell. Indeed, he has refused to produce any documents to them. Accordingly,
+the Court should direct Dershowitz to produce these materials forthwith, as well as order him to
+pay reasonable costs and attorneys' fees necessitated by his refusal to make any appropriate
+document production.

+Edwards, Bradley vs. Dershowitz
+Case No.: CACE 15-000072
+Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production of Documents
+FACTUAL BACKGROUND
+On December 30, 2014, Jane Doe No. 3 filed a motion (and later a corrected motion)
+seeking to join a case in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Jane Doe
+Nos. 1 and 2 v. United States, No. 9:08-cv-80736. She was represented by two attorneys who
+specialize in (among other things) representing crime victims, Bradley J. Edwards and Paul G.
+Cassell. The case involved an attempt to rescind a non-prosecution agreement (NPA) barring the
+prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein and his criminal associates on grounds that the victims' rights
+under the Crime Victims Rights Act (CVRA) had been violated.
+In her corrected motion, Docket Entry (DE) 280, Jane Doe No. 3 briefly proffered the
+circumstances that would qualify her as a "victim" eligible to assert rights under the CVRA. See
+18 U.S.C. 3771(e) (defining a CVRA "victim"). Jane Doe No. 3 briefly explained that when she
+was a minor, Jeffrey Epstein had trafficked her to Prince Andrew and Alan Dershowitz (among
+others) for sexual purposes. The motion also provided specific reasons why Jane Doe No. 3's
+participation was relevant to the case, including the pending discovery issues regarding Prince
+Andrew and Dershowitz. See DE 280 at 9-10 (explaining several reasons participation of new
+victims was relevant to existing issues).
+After the motion was filed, Dershowitz made numerous media statements about the filing
+- and defamatory statements about Edwards and Cassell. For example, on CNN on January 5,
+2015, Dershowitz stated that Edwards and Cassell are "prepared to lie, cheat, and steal. These
+are unethical lawyers."

+Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production of Documents
+http://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2015/01/05/wrn-uk-sex-abuse-allegations-alan-dershowitz-
+intv.cnn
+In the course of defaming Edwards and Cassell, Dershowitz also made numerous
+representations that he had collected documents proving that he had never even met Jane Doe
+No. 3, much less sexually abused her. For example, on the same CNN program on January 5,
+Dershowitz stated: "No, never met her [Jane Doe No. 31, I didn't know what she looked like until
+I saw her photograph. ... I have a superb memory. I have a memory of not having met her. I
+did not meet her. And believe me, I remember everybody I've ever had sex with. ... I can prove
+it by flight records.
+I can prove it by my travel records." Id. (emphasis added). Dershowitz
+went on to say that disproving Jane Doe No. 3's allegations was a simple task requiring about
+one hour of work: "If they [Edwards and Cassell] had just done an hours' worth of work, they
+would have seen she is lying through her teeth." Id.
+That same day, on NBC's Today Show, Dershowitz repeated his claim that it was a
+simple matter to collect documents disproving allegations made by Jane Doe No. 3:
+Her lawyers Paul Cassell, a former Federal judge and Brad Edwards, deliberately
+and willfully filed this pleading which they knew I had no opportunity to respond
+to in court, without doing any investigation, if they had simply investigated the
+manifests of the airplanes, if they had checked my travel records, if they had
+asked me and I could have given the names of these people who are witnesses,
+they would know the stories, totally, completely false.

+Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production of Documents
+Two days later, Dershowitz told Lou Dobbs on Fox Business, that he had already
+completed his investigation and had "all kinds of records" proving that Jane Doe No. 3 was a
+liar:
+They [Edwards and Cassell] did it for crass financial and political reasons. More
+to the point is what| they didn't do... I did the investigation in a day and was able
+to prove through all kinds of records that I couldn't have been in these places.
+The woman is a serial liar. If they had done that investigation, they would have
+come to the same conclusion.
+http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/3976630676001/alan-dershowitz-the-woman-is-a-serial-liar/?
+sp-show-clips.
+In response to the CVRA motion that Edwards and Cassell had made for Jane Doe No. 3,
+on January 5, 2015, Dershowitz filed a motion to intervene in the case to respond, along with an
+affidavit claiming that he had not sexually abused Jane Doe No. 3. In that affidavit, Dershowitz
+stated that "[i]f [Edwards and Cassell] had done any reasonable investigation of their client's
+false allegations, they would have found absolute proof that I did not [sexually abuse her]
+.. •
+even the most minimal of investigation would have proven conclusively that I could not have
+had sex with their client on Mr Epstein's island, in New Mexico or on the airplanes; and that I
+did not have sex with her in his New York or Palm Beach homes." DE 282-1 at 9 8.
+On January 6, 2015, plaintiffs Edwards and Cassell filed their complaint in this action,
+alleging a massive public assault on their character by defendant Dershowitz. On January 9,
+2015, Edwards and Cassell filed their Initial Request for Production to Defendant Alan M.
+Dershowitz. They requested production of documents along the lines that Dershowitz suggested
+he had already collected. For example, Request for Production (RFP) No. 9 sought "[copies of

+Case No.: CACE 15-000072
+Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production of Documents
+any and all 'absolute proof as described in paragraph 8 of the sworn declaration of Alan M.
+Dershowitz."
+On February 11, 2015, counsel for Edwards and Cassell sent an email to counsel for
+Dershowitz, noting that discovery production was past due and inquiring as to whether a motion
+to compel would be necessary. That same day, a paralegal for Cole, Scott & Kissane confirmed
+that appropriate production would be made by the end of the week. Shortly after, an attorney for
+Dershowitz disavowed that commitment, and indicated that Dershowitz would make his
+productions by February 23, 2015.
+On February 23, 2015 - 45 days after the discovery requests had been served -
+Dershowitz responded. With regard to the request for production of documents, Dershowitz
+produced no documents whatsoever.
+Instead, he made a vague commitment to produce
+unspecified documents at some unspecified time in the future. Illustrative of Dershowitz's
+failure to make any substantive production is the following request for production and
+Dershowitz's answer:
+9. Copies of any and all "absolute proof" as described in paragraph 8 of
+the sworn Declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz.
+RESPONSE: Defendant objects to this Document Request to the extent
+that Plaintiffs seek to alter or shift any burdens of proof as a matter of law in this
+action. Subject to and without waiving the foregoing specific objections and
+General Objections, Defendant responds that he will produce all responsive, non-
+privileged documents currently in his possession, custody or control.
+Dershowitz made the same evasive response - "Defendant responds that he will produce"
+unspecified "non-privileged documents" - to multiple discovery requests.

+Edwards, Bradley vs. Dershowitz
+Case No.: CACE 15-000072
+Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production of Documents
+Response to Requests for Production 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23.
+To permit the Court to review the extent of Dershowitz's evasions, a copy of his responses is
+attached to this pleading as Exhibit A.
+In short, despite having had 45 days to gather materials that allegedly provide "absolute
+proof" that he has never even met Jane Doe No. 3 - and despite having told numerous media
+sources that he had already collected such information - Dershowitz has produced none of these
+documents to Edwards and Cassell. He has also made blanket assertions of a variety of
+privileges, but has produced no privilege logs.
+CONCLUSION
+Accordingly, Edwards and Cassell request:
+1. That Dershowitz be directed to produce all materials covered by the discovery
+requests forthwith;
+2. That Dershowitz be held to have waived any and all otherwise applicable privileges as
+a consequence of his failure to timely file a privilege log; and
+3. That Dershowitz be ordered to pay reasonable costs and attorneys' fees associated
+with the need to file this motion to compel.
+CERTIFICATE OF GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO RESOLVE
+Plaintiffs have attempted in good faith to resolve the discovery issues presented in this
+motion (and others) as evidenced by the letter attached as Exhibit B. The Defendant has failed to
+respond as of the time of the filing of this motion.

+any Document Request propounded by Plaintiffs. Defendant further reserves the right to object
+to the admission in evidence of any and all information made available in response to the
+Document Requests on any ground, including, but not limited to, the ground that it is irrelevant
+and immaterial to the issues in this action.
+GENERAL OBJECTIONS
+The General Objections and statements in this section apply to each of
+Defendant's responses to the Document Requests set forth below and are not necessarily
+repeated in response to each individual Document Request.
+By responding to the Document Requests, Defendant does not concede that any
+information requested is relevant to this action or admissible at trial. Defendant expressly
+reserves the right to object to further discovery on the subject matter of any of these Document
+Requests.
+3.
+Defendant's responses set forth below include only documents located or obtained
+up to the date of service of the responses. Additional responsive, non-privileged documents may
+be ascertained or identified subsequently, and Defendant reserves the right to rely on such
+documents throughout this litigation and at trial.
+Defendant objects to each Document Request to the extent that it calls for
+documents protected by the attorney-client privilege, the work-product doctrine, or any other
+applicable privilege or protection. By responding to any Document Request, Defendant does not
+waive any applicable privilege as to that Document Request or as to any other present or future
+discovery request.

+(Doc. No. 279) (the "Joinder Motion") in the civil action captioned Jane Doe #1, et al. v. United
+States, Case No. 08-80736 (S.D. Fla.) (the "Federal Action") that she was "kept as [Jeffrey
+Epstein's] sex slave from about 1999 through 2002." Jane Doe #3 further alleges in the Joinder
+Motion that she "escape[d]" from Mr. Epstein and moved to Australia in 2002. Paragraph 5 of
+the sworn Declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz refers to plane travel by members of Mr. Epstein's
+legal team after 2002 and therefore Defendant further objects because this Document Request
+does not seek documents relevant to this action or documents reasonably calculated to lead to the
+discovery of admissible evidence.

+Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 319-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 03/24/2015 Page 22 of
+Copies of any and all documents evidencing that Jane Doe #3 "has also told lies about
+many world leaders" as described in paragraph 8 of the sworn Declaration of Alan M.
+Dershowitz.
+RESPONSE:
+Defendant objects to this Document Request because it misstates paragraph 8 of the sworn
+Declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz, which expressly states that "on information and belief, [Jane
+Doe #3] has also told lies about many world leaders." (Emphasis added). Defendant further
+objects to this Document Request because it seeks documents already in Plaintiffs' possession
+and/or that are publicly available. Subject to and without waiving the foregoing specific
+objections and the General Objections, Defendant responds by reference to statements by Jane
+Doe #3 reflected in the media, which are equally available to Plaintiffs.
+Copies of any and all documents evidencing that "the State Attorney in Palm Beach
+County dropped a case that she sought to bring based on an assessment by the investigating
+detective regarding the 'victim's lack of credibility' including a copy of the letter reflecting this
+decision as described in paragraph 8 of the sworn Declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz.

+the letter reflecting this decision was forwarded to central records." (Emphasis added). Subject
+to and without waiving the foregoing specific objections and the General Objections, Defendant
+responds that he will produce all responsive, non-privileged documents currently in his

+RESPONSE:
+Defendant objects to this Document Request as vague because Defendant is not in a position to

+Copies of any and all records for the period 1998-2007 reflecting or relating to travel by
+you and/or any member of your family on any aircraft, boat, helicopter, or other means of
+transport owned, controlled, or under the direction of Jeffrey Epstein and/or any business entity
+with which Jeffrey Epstein was affiliated at the time of travel.
+RESPONSE:
+Defendant objects to this Document Request as overly broad because Jane Doe #3 alleges in the
+Joinder Motion that she was "kept as [Jeffrey Epstein's] sex slave from about 1999 through
+2002." Jane Doe #3 further alleges that she "escape[d]" from Mr. Epstein and moved to
+Australia in 2002. Therefore Defendant objects to this Document Request to the extent that it
+purports to seek documents relating to any time before 1999 or after 2002. Defendant further
+objects to this Document Request as overly broad and premature because Jane Doe #3 has not
+specified the dates on which she alleges Defendant engaged in misconduct on Mr. Epstein's
+plane, which are the sole relevant allegations by Jane Doe #3 or her counsel concerning travel on
+Mr. Epstein's plane that Defendant refutes and asserts are false. Subject to and without waiving
+the General Objections, Defendant responds that he will produce all responsive, non-privileged
+documents currently in his possession, custody or control relating to any occasions that may be
+specifically identified by Jane Doe #3 on which she contends that Defendant travelled on Jeffrey
+Epstein's plane between 1999 and 2002.
+23. Copies of any and all records, including emails and text messages, between you and
+Jeffrey Epstein between December 29, 2014 and today, regarding allegations made by Jane Doe
+#3 of sexual misconduct by either of you.
+RESPONSE:
+Defendant objects to this Document Request to the extent that it seeks documents regarding
+allegations made by Jane Doe #3 of sexual misconduct by Jeffrey Epstein because such
+documents are not relevant to the subject matter of this action and would be attorney-client
+privileged communications in any event. Subject to and without waiving the foregoing specific

+Re:
+Edwards and Cassell vs. Dershowitz
+Our File No.: 20150013
+Dear Tom:
+I write in the hope of amicably resolving a number of issues that arise in connection
+with the discovery responses you have provided in the referenced matter.
+Responding "Subject to and Without Waiving" Objections
+and Claims of Privilege
+It is a common and improper tactic to state "general objections" (or even specific ones)
+and then to respond to every request "subject to" those objections or claims of privilege.
+We cannot accept such responses. When this occurs, even if responsive information is
+forthcoming, we have no guarantee that you have not unilaterally withheld information
+subject to the stated objections or claims of privilege; in other words, it shields the very
+existence of responsive matters from discovery without any ability to assess the merits
+of the objection or claim of privilege as applied to the ostensibly protected matters. A
+federal court described the problem:
+This Court has on several occasions "disapproved [of) the practice of
+asserting a general objection 'to the extent' it may apply to particular
+requests for discovery." This Court has characterized these types of
+objections as "worthless for anything beyond delay of the discovery." Such
+objections are considered mere "hypothetical or contingent possibilities,"
+where the objecting party makes "no meaningful effort to show the
+application of any such theoretical objection' to any request for discovery."

+Re: Edwards and Cassell v. Dershowitz
+February 25, 2015
+Page 2
+Thus, this Court has deemed such "ostensible" objections waived or [has]
+declined to consider them as objections.
+Sonnino v. Univ. of Kan. Hosp. Auth., 221 F.R.D. 661, 666-67 (D. Kan. 2004) (citations
+omitted).
+Of course, where claims of privilege are involved, the response must include a privilege
+log enabling us (and the court, if necessary) to assess the applicability of the privilege
+claimed. See Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.280(b)(5). Under Florida law, "the burden is upon the
+party asserting a privilege to establish the existence of each element of the privilege in
+question." Fla. Sheriff's Self-Ins. Fund v. Escambia County, 585 So.2d 461, 463 (Fla. 15t
+DCA 1991).
+General or blanket objections are inappropriate in and of themselves: "A 'blanket'
+objection to interrogatories consisting of many, separate questions is insufficient.
+Objections in such a case should be addressed 'to a particular interrogatory or class of
+interrogatories, not to the interrogatories in general." Twadell v. Twadell, 199 So. 2d
+501 (Fla. 4" DCA 1967) (quoting Carson v. City of Ft. Lauderdale, 173 So.2d 743 (Fla.
+2d DCA 1965)).
+The same principles apply to the general objections you have raised to our production
+requests.
+Boilerplate Objections
+A boilerplate objection such as "overbroad, burdensome, and not reasonably calculated
+to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence," baldly asserted, is "patently without
+merit." Such "stonewalling tactics" constitute discovery abuse. First Healthcare Corp.
+v. Hamilton, 740 So.2d 1189, 1193 (Fla. 4' DCA 1999); see also First City Devs. Of
+Fla., Inc. v. Hallmark of Holly Condo. Ass 'n, 545 So.2d 502, 503 (Fla. 4" DCA 1985)
+(noting that conclusory objections such as "burdensome" and "not reasonably calculated
+..." are "words of the art [that] have little meaning without substantive support,.").
+Every burdensome objection you have raised is required to be supported by an affidavit
+detailing the extent of the burden claimed to preclude a substantive response.

+Asserting Privilege for Non-Existent Documents
+It is inappropriate to assert a claim of privilege or immunity for non-existent materials.
+Greenleaf v. Amerada Hess Corp., 626 So.2d 263, 264 n.1 (Fla, 4" DCA 1993). We
+must assume that the privilege is asserted for a reason, i.e., that responsive and
+ostensibly privileged information in fact exists, else the privilege would not have been
+asserted. It follows that a privilege log must accompany all such responses.
+Claiming Undue Burden for Non-Existent Materials
+Likewise, objecting on basis of burdensomeness and later conceding an opponent's right
+to materials or later claiming materials do not exist constitute abusive discovery
+practices. First Healthcare Corp. v. Hamilton, 740 So.2d 1189, 1194 (Fla. 4" DCA
+Custody, Possession & Control
+Fla. R. Civ. P. reaches all documents (broadly defined and specifically including
+electronic data) in your client's "custody, possession, or control." Custody and
+possession are self-explanatory. "Control" is broader; it "means the legal right to obtain,
+even from nonparties. The concept of 'control' generally has been held to mean the legal
+right to obtain the requested documents. Parties thus can be requested to produce
+documents in the hands of their attorney, insurer, subsidiary, or another person outside
+the jurisdiction of the court." Lawrence M. Watson, Jr. & Michael S. Orfinger, Fla.
+Civil Practice Before Trial § 16.60 (1993 ed.) (citing 8 Wright & Miller, Fed. Practice
+& Procedure £16-10 (1998 ed.). A recent federal court case construing Fed. R. Civ. P.
+41 (on which Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.350 is patterned), explained:
+The term "control" comprehends not only possession but also the right,
+authority, or ability to obtain the documents. Accordingly, Rule 34(a)
+allows a party seeking discovery to require production of documents
+beyond the actual possession of the opposing party if such party has
+retained "any right or ability to influence the person in whose possession
+the documents lie." [A] party is deemed to have control over documents
+held on its behalf by its attorneys. A party is also deemed to have control
+over financial records of the party that are in the possession of the party's
+accountant.

+Re: Edwards and Cassell v. Dershowitz
+February 25, 2015
+Page 4
+WL 1328259, at *5 (S.D.N.Y. 2006) ("Courts have long construed the term 'control' as
+meaning more than simple 'possession.' 'Control has been construed broadly by the
+courts as the legal right, authority, or practical ability to obtain the materials sought
+upon demand.''). See also Frantz v. Golebiewski, 407 So.2d 283, 285 n.4 (Fla. 3 DCA
+1981) ("Interpretations of the federal rule are persuasive in considering its Florida
+equivalent.").
+While your responses purport to recognize the obligation to produce documents subject
+to Mr. Dershowitz's "control", there are qualifications in the responses that would
+appear to contradict that recognition. Your objection to the production of metadata has
+no legal foundation.
+Word Play and Gamesmanship
+You will note that we do not include page after page of definitions. I believe that any
+lawyer reasonably fluent in English can carry out his or her duty to construe
+interrogatories and requests for production in the broad and liberal manner intended by
+the rules. Florida courts frown on parsing and gamesmanship. See, e.g. First Healthcare
+Corp. v. Hamilton, 740 So.2d 1189, 1194 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999) (chastising counsel who
+did not turn over "event" reports because plaintiff requested "incident" reports as
+engaged in "little more than a semantic shell game.").
+Repeated assertions that statements were made by Mr. Dershowitz "upon information
+and belief" is an example of prohibited "word play." That qualification has no bearing
+on the Defendant's discovery obligations.
+"Will Produce"
+The Rules of Civil Procedure require production and not just a commitment of
+production at some unspecified future date. If the documents you intend to produce are
+available for inspection and copying now as they are required to be, we are prepared to
+pick them up immediately. If they are not immediately available, when will they be?
+Timeframe Objections
+Your repeated attempts to restrict discovery to a narrow timeframe, fail to account for
+the fact that this is a defamation action arising out of broad defamatory statements made
+by Mr. Dershowitz impugning the honesty and integrity of the Plaintiffs without any
+limitations as to a specific time or circumstance. Mr. Dershowitz has also made broad
+public denials of misconduct unrestricted to any specific timeframe. We are entitled to

+test the accuracy of those statements and to explore the full extent of the personal
+relationship he has had with Jeffrey Epstein.
+Evasive Answers
+The response to Interrogatory #2 is a typical example of an evasive response. Rather
+than address the substance of the questions posed, the Defendant engages in a four page
+diatribe about the alleged impropriety of naming him in a CVRA filing on behalf of
+Jane Doe #3. If that is the only improper conduct in which the Defendant contends
+Bradley Edwards has engaged, then the Defendant is obliged to say so.
+Interrogatory #3 asks for the specific content of statements and the names of every
+witness to the making of the statements. We get a vague reference to "such comments"
+and references to the inability to "recall all of the people." Not a single witness' name
+is disclosed. If the Defendant is unable to identify a single person he is obliged to
+unequivocally say so.
+Refusing to Provide Substantive Responses Until Jane Doe #3 is Deposed
+This objection has absolutely no legal basis and fails to recognize that this is a
+defamation action against Dershowitz and not Mr. Dershowitz's defamation action
+against Jane Doe #3. This action is absolutely not dependent on the accuracy of the
+statements made by Jane Doe #3, although the Plaintiffs were and are confident of the
+accuracy of those statements.
+Objecting Because You Think We Already Know the Answers
+See for example the Response to Interrogatory #13. There is no legal basis for refusing
+to provide information because the Defendant believes the Plaintiff already knows the
+answer or has alternative sources to ascertain some or all of the information requested.
+An admission from an opposing party carries legal significance that other evidence does
+not have. We are entitled to Dershowitz's sworn responses regardless of what flight
+Incomplete Answers
+See, for example, Interrogatory #15. A question that asks for names, addresses, and
+telephone numbers, is not properly responded to if all we get is, "Thomas and Joanne
+Ashe, as well as Defendant's wife and daughter."

+A No. That was it.
+Q Where were you living at the time she
+left?
+A My parents' house.
+Q Is that where you were making the phone
+calls?
+A Yeah.
+Q
+Is that how you remember it?
+Yep.
+Were your parents happy about the phone
+bill?
+A Well, they did not care, because they knew
+that Jeffrey had money. And I told them -- I was,
+like, "Well, he's going to be paying the bills, so
+don't worry about."
+And they were, like, "All right. As long
+as it gets paid."
+And it didn't get paid. And I didn't have
+a place to live, and so...
+& Did you ever try to get money from Jeffrey.
+to pay the phone bills?
+A No. Pretty much the only time I had ever
+talked to Jeffrey after that was mainly the
+conversations are, "Where is Virginia? I know you
+know where she's at."
+Page 58
+I'm, like, "No, dude, I don't. You're the
+one that (descriptive sound) sent her away, not me.
+I have no clue. I have not heard from her. You're
+the reason she's not here, so why are you even
+coming to me? How would I know? She left me. She
+did not leave some guy I knew, she left me." You
+know.
+Q How did those conversation happen?
+A Because he would just call me. He was
+just trying to find her. He was, like, hunting her
+down.
+Q
+He called you on your phone?
+A Uh-huh (affirmative). He had my number.
+Q
+Your cell phone?
+A It was -- I believe so. A cell phone at
+the time, yeah.
+Q Is that where you were getting all these
+expensive phone calls was your cell phone?
+A No. I was using my parents' landline to
+make the calls.
+Q Got it.
+To call Thailand?
+A Yeah.
+Q But Jeffrey had your cell phone number?
+A Yeah.

+Q And you were getting calls from Jeffrey on
+your cell phone --
+A Yes.
+Q - asking where she was?
+A Uh-huh (affirmative).
+Q Did he say why he was trying to find her?
+A No.
+Was it him or someone else?
+A No. It was him.
+Q What was his tone when he was calling and
+asking for her?
+A I don't want to say, like, desperate, but,
+like, you could tell it was, like, a sense of
+urgency, like he was kind of upset, like, you know,
+where the hell is she, kind of without saying it,
+you know. He was -- you could tell he was
+definitely on the hunt, trying to figure out where
+she was at.
+Q Did you understand that he had paid for
+her trip to Thailand?
+A Yeah.
+Q Had she ever been to Thailand before?
+A Not that I was aware of.
+Q Did he know whether she had just left
+Thailand without a word?
+Page 60
+A I don't know what he thought. I guess he
+stopped hearing from her, as well.
+Q Did he say that she called and said I'm
+getting married, and I'm never coming back?
+A No. He kept asking me what was going on.
+I said, "Dude, I don't know. Like, if I knew, don't
+you think I would tell you? I mean, I have no
+reason to not tell you. She left me. Why would I
+hide anything?"
+Q How did you know she had left you? She
+just didn't come back?
+A Like I said, she had written me a note
+telling me she wasn't coming back.
+Q So you're having a bunch of phone calls.
+And then all of the sudden you get a note saying,
+I'm not coming back?
+A Yep.
+a During the phone calls, did she tell you
+she was breaking up with you?
+A No.
+Q Do you know the name of the rehab program
+where Philip and Ms. Roberts were together?
+A No. Like I said, pretty much that whole
+period I was not there. Like, literally, no trace
+of me or her were anywhere near each other until,

+Yes.

+e.
+What did you hear?
+A.
+I heard him call someone, and say, Fekkai
+is in Hawaii.
+Can we find some girls for him?
+A.
+And what was your reaction to that?
+Well, I was massaging and I didn't have a
+reaction. I tried to remain reactionless the whole
+five years.
+Did Jeffrey ever take you shopping?
+A.
+Yes.
+Can you describe for me what happened?
+A. Sure. He took me to Victoria's Secret.
+I
+believe he picked out everything and went into the
+room with me, the fitting room, which was very odd.
+Did he make any comments about being in
+the fitting room with you?
+A.
+He joked that one time he was in there

+Navigating post-Trump volatility
+•
+We are recording unprecedented divergences in falling equity vol with rising rates vol post Trump's win. Intra-
+day S&P realized vol collapsed from near 60% to below 20% in 2d [Chart 1]
+•
+While equities have shown less conviction over what a Trump win means (given strong sector rotation), the
+bond market has sold off with one of the largest moves in history [Chart 2 & 3]
+Stabilizing rates volatility from here is key to markets remaining calm and while equity upside may continue, it is
+not without higher risks
+•
+We like cheap optionality to hedge long-equities if rates continue to move sharply
+For investors long equities, we look at ways to cheapen protecting from downside risks in the event of further bond
+market volatility catalysed by Trump policy uncertainty

+Financials: buy XLF Mar17 $22 call with $26 KO for $0.87 with full premium rebate on KO

+Importance:
+High
+Our Financials Conference was this week and client attendance was up by 66% from last year. Yes, banks/financials
+might pull back at some point after this run-up but we would be buyers on any pullbacks and we continue to see further
+upside from multiple expansion and earnings growth. Our analyst raised her price targets by ~11% across the board. The
+long term rotation from bonds and div stocks into sectors like financials is only beginning.
+Vol is higher on the week; what prices well now:
+Buy the XLF March 2017 $22 call with $26 Knock-Out (continuous) for $0.87, with a full premium
+rebate if knock-out occurs.
+This prices attractively given flat call skew and if XLF breaches $26 and this knocks out, at least you get your
+premium back.
+Please find our Financials report attached.
+Future of Financials conference hosted 90 public and private companies at our Future of Financials conference. We are
+raising our price objectives across most of our names. Three primary reasons why we think there is upside remaining
+after the recent rally: 1) an improved outlook on both activity levels and interest rates, driving revenue upside; 2)
+potentially lower regulatory burden, particularly as new supervisory leadership can come with the new administration;
+and 3) relatively lighter positioning in US financials vs. other sectors. (Erika Najarian)

+Subject: RE: Financials trade for Monday
+We continue to see buyers of XLF today. Funds are underweight financials in all regions, valuations are
+reasonable, earnings are improving and financials tend to outperform when bond yields rise.
+Vol is higher today - refreshed pricing below.
+Buy an XLF 17March2017 call spread:
+Buy the 105% call / sell a 110% call with a 115% at-expiry knock-in
+Total premium: 1.86%
+Global Positioning in Stocks: Nigel Tupper notes the 4000 funds in our "Positioning in Stocks" analysis
+are more underweight Financials, on average, than any other sector and are underweight this sector in all
+regions of the world. If earnings continue to improve and yield rise, which is often the case in an upturn in our
+Global Wave, then the unloved Financials sector has the potential to continue to outperform.
+Global Quant Panorama: "Bearish on Bonds" stocks (which tend to move in the opposite direction to
+bond vields) tend to outperform our "Bullish On Bonds" when bond vields rise. The sectors that tend to
+perform best as bond yields rise are Energy, Tech, Materials, Banks, and Diversified Financials. Of these
+sectors, the laggards this year have been Banks and Diversified Financials. With a PE of 15.9x and a PB of
+2.0x, Global valuations are reasonable. Also, Risk is near all-time lows in terms of PE in most regions. Now
+that macro and earnings data have triggered the beginning of a rotation, Value becomes very relevant.

+Subject: Financials trade for Monday
+It's not too late to buy financials as a medium term trade. They've run up a lot this week but we're getting
+endless calls from generalists asking which banks to buy - there is still more upside to the sector. Banks also
+provide some offset to your bonds if interest rates continue to move. Our financials sector specialist thinks XLF
+could have another 20-25% upside given its many levers to the Trump trade: less regulation, higher interest
+rates/steeper yield curve, higher vol, economic growth, etc. The regional banks are asset sensitive and more of a
+pure play on a rates move but we view the larger cap banks as having even more upside to the Trump Trade
+given the above points.
+Buy an XLF 17March2017 call spread:
+•
+Buy the 105% call / sell a 110% call with a 115% at-expiry knock-in
+Total premium: 1.75%
+All eyes are on Sunday's 60 Minutes interview with Trump. Market is pricing that all regulations will be rolled
+back (very optimistic). Any hint that this is not true could lead to pullback on Monday.
+Note on tech: we're seeing FANG used as a source of funds with the rotation from growth into value. There's
+also the tax read-through: tech is already relatively tax advantaged @ 22%; Industrials are at 30%, Financials at
+29%. Next year, tech could benefit from a repatriation tax holiday but that is viewed as more of a Q1/Q2 trade.
+More thoughts on financials:
+With respect to the economy, the market is certainly indicating that there will be a large fiscal stimulus which
+may send US growth higher and that's a good thing for financials for a wide variety of reasons, from
+employment to wages to loan growth and credit quality (even if somewhat offset by higher rates). It does
+remain to be seen exactly how much of this expected policy actually gets done, but at the moment, investors are
+willing to take a certain amount of growth on faith.
+So those are positives for financials before we even discuss regulation. The move in the financials since the
+election would seem to indicate that investors have concluded that nearly every piece of financial regulation
+will get put into a shredder on day one of the new administration. The incoming administration has fueled that
+with comments about rolling back pieces (or more) of Dodd-Frank in particular. I can see making the case for
+that to the American public by saying that banks need less regulation in order to get more capital flowing into
+the economy to drive growth. Not only does that mean that the E is likely too low (meaning that the P/E is not
+as high as it seems) but it could help improve ROE's as well which could increase the multiple of that higher E
+investors are willing to pay. Note that while ROEs could go higher, it's unlikely that they can get back to the
+peaks...

+2016 Future of Financials Conference
+Management and client bullishness implies
+further upside
+Price Objective Change
+Conference tone bullish into 2017
+We recently hosted over 90 public and private companies and 700 attendees at our
+Future of Financials conference, where investor attendance was up an impressive 66%
+YoY. The tone from management and investors was uniformly bullish, with more
+generalists attending than we have seen in previous years.
+Revenue & regulatory upside + positioning = raising POs
+We are raising our price objectives across most of our names. Three primary reasons
+why we think there is upside remaining after the recent rally: 1) an improved outlook on
+both activity levels and interest rates, driving revenue upside; 2) potentially lower
+regulatory burden, particularly as new supervisory leadership can come with the new
+administration; and 3) relatively lighter positioning in US financials vs. other sectors.
+Full house at innovation-focused panels
+New this year, we hosted expert panels on the evolution of clearing, fixed income
+market structure, equity market structure, and payments, and how innovation in
+blockchain, big data, and robo advisory can change the game. Strong panel attendance
+suggested high interest in these themes, and polling feedback suggests shareholders
+want banks to make investment spend in innovation a priority -- so long as it is self
+funded with savings found elsewhere.
+Banks: Most constructive we've heard in years
+We are raising our POs for our banks by c11% (see Table 1 page 63). When asked if the
+election results changed 2017 outlooks, all banks were more enthusiastic about growth.
+Echoing sentiment from our panel on regulation and M&A, banks were upbeat on the
+CCAR process potentially evolving post-election. Our top picks out of the conference:
+WFC (sentiment over retail sales practices clouding EPS sensitivity to improving macro),
+C (solid momentum on revenues and capital return), IBKC (moving closer to strategic
+targets), and EWBC (sentiment post-election appears constructive on regulatory relief).
+Brokers, Alternatives, and Asset Managers
+The sentiment around the capital market sector was mostly favorable post the election
+outcome, given the potential for de-regulation, pro-growth, rising rates, lower tax rates,
+and increasing activity levels. For the brokers, given mostly favorable 4Q activity trends
+(more so for trading vs. banking), 1H17 seasonality with easy comps, and potential for
+de-regulation and lower taxes - we like the outlook, particularly for GS. For the asset
+managers, despite the move higher post the election on a potential DOL
+delay/modification and lower tax rates, most expect the DOL to continue in some form
+and the core trends remain challenging - we remain cautious. For the alternative
+managers, while we continue to view the structural growth as attractive and a lower
+corp tax rate could potentially increase the odds of a transition to a C-corp, given the
+potential for a higher carry tax, rising rates, and de-regulation of banks potentially
+moderating some of the newer growth areas, we view the outlook as more balanced.
+Specialty / Consumer finance
+Companies were generally bullish on the US consumer heading into 2017. AXP
+presented a fairly upbeat outlook on billings, loan and revenue growth, while cautioning
+that Discount rate pressures and FX headwinds could impact near-term results. The
+private tech based lenders were cautiously optimistic that hiccups from earlier this year
+were behind the sector, while the private payments companies stressed the importance
+of partnering with incumbent leaders and the need to maintain safety standards.

+Banks Takeaways
+With our conference coming a week following a historic US presidential election that
+helped boost bank stocks by 12%, bank management teams were generally optimistic
+with regards to the economic outlook heading into 2017. Greater fiscal stimulus that is
+expected to spur economic growth coupled with potential regulatory relief has helped
+improve the overall sentiment in the sector. When asked what the biggest impact of the
+GOP sweep would likely be to bank earnings, 35% noted tax cuts and infrastructure
+spurring growth as the biggest impact.

+An area that has attracted particular attention among bank investors is around the
+current landscape of multifamily lending. We polled the audience around their outlook
+for multifamily lending in 2017 and found that 49% of those polled said there was some
+concern, but only in certain regions and at certain rental price points. Meanwhile, 29%
+noted softening fundamentals that should lead to slower financing activity and

+Brokers Takeaways
+In brokers, GS presented, while MS hosted 1-1 meetings with investors. During the
+conference we polled the audience on several topics including the outlook for capital
+markets revenues.
+Investors modestly positive on capital markets over next 1-2 years
+Given the election outcome, recent rise in rates, potential for higher growth and de-
+regulation, and lower corporate tax rates, we asked investors about their outlook for
+capital markets over the next 1-2 years. The majority of investors (78%) were positive
+about the capital markets sector, with 56% who expect modest improvement in
+regulation, revenue growth of 5-10%, and returns of 10-12% and 22% who think we
+could see significant improvement in regulation, revenues growth of 10%+, and returns
+12%+.

+Asset Manager Takeaways
+In asset management, four of the largest public managers, IVZ, EV, LM, and AB either
+presented or engaged in fireside chats, while several other firms including AMG, APAM,
+BLK, CNS, OMAM, and VRTS hosted 1-1 meetings with investors. During the conference
+we polled the audience on several topics including the outlook for DOL (in the panel
+section), the outlook for fixed income given the recent rise in rates/expected rate hike
+and outlook, active vs passive market share, M&A, and pricing/fee structures.
+Fixed income outlook more muted
+Given the recent rise in rates, a looming rate hike in December, and the potential for a
+higher growth/inflation outlook for the economy, we asked investors their outlook on
+fixed income performance and flows vs equities. The majority of investors believe we
+will see weaker fixed income performance and flows offset by stronger equity
+performance and flows, while nobody thinks fixed income will be stronger and equity
+will be weaker (both flows and performance).

+Alternative Asset Manager Takeaways
+Within alternative asset management, four of the public managers, ARES, BX, CG, and
+KKR presented, while the others did meetings. During the conference we polled the
+audience on several key topics including the outlook for the equity and real estate
+markets, potential impacts from the recent election, distribution outlook, and firm
+structures and business models. Investors were generally bullish on the equity market,
+potential for fiscal stimulus ahead, and a key focus from investors was on the potential
+change in taxes following the election, and whether that means reassessing corporate
+structures for the alts, with a possible change from PTP to C-corp.
+Investors bullish on the equity markets
+Our polling results indicate that investors are generally positive on equity market returns
+over the next year. When asked "What is your expectation for equity market returns over
+the next year?" the most common response was +0-10% (51%), followed by 10%+
+(25%), 0 to - 10% (15%), and <- 10% (8%).

+private tech based lenders were cautiously optimistic that hiccups from earlier this year

+US Banks Top Takeaways
+Associated Bancorp (ASB) B-3-7, Underperform
+• A strong Midwest market should lead to steady growth: ASB's CEO Phillip Flynn
+and CFO Chris Niles highlighted the strong fundamentals of the bank's Midwest
+footprint with its low unemployment and a strong manufacturing base. While
+commenting on the potential for relief coming out of DC under the new Trump
+administration, management noted that shortage of skilled workers was probably
+the biggest issue impeding businesses in its footprint versus higher taxes or an
+overly stringent regulatory environment.
+• CRE represents a growth opportunity: Management was positive on growth
+prospects within the CRE loan portfolio, which represents 24% of avg loans as of
+3Q16. Management is targeting CRE to represent 30-40% of the portfolio in order
+for consumer, CRE, and commercial to each comprise approximately a third of the
+loan book. In the near term, executives see opportunities in the CRE space in 2017
+as pricing and structure improve benefitting from a pullback by lenders with high
+• Energy portfolio should begin to stabilize: While management analyzes the
+energy book on a credit by credit basis, it noted caution if oil prices fell
+significantly. However, management noted that the energy book reflects lower
+energy prices as new energy loans price in lower hydrocarbon pricing vs. the
+maturing loans. Regarding energy loan growth, management expects muted growth
+going forward as the benefit from new loans will most likely be offset by continued
+pay-downs by existing customers.
+• Dec rate hike to surface in 1Q17 margin: Management expects a Dec rate hike to
+have little impact on 4Q given that its LIBOR based portfolio would re-price on Jan
+1. On the other hand, interest expense is expected to rise as deposits that are
+linked to benchmark rates re-price higher. Last year, the margin fell 1 bp QOQ
+following the Fed rate hike as deposit costs rose 8bp QOQ. Management noted that
+1Q16 saw lower loan renewal rates and compression from cost of funds, but that
+its cost of funds are in a better position this year, which should help lead to a
+modest positive impact to the margin in 1Q17 from a Dec rate hike.
+• Fee businesses could get augmented by additional M&A: Within fees,
+management views insurance as the best opportunity from non-bank M&A. Recall
+that ASB completed the acquisition of Ahmann & Martin in 02/15. Management
+noted that it saw a significant opportunity from providing consulting services
+around employee benefits to small-to-medium sized businesses. Moreover, any
+changes to the Affordable Care Act that creates added uncertainty in the market
+would present an incremental revenue growth opportunity for this business.

+Pent up demand in small and middle market corporates. COO Chris Henson was
+upbeat with regards to the growth outlook for the US economy post the US
+elections, particularly from middle market companies that have been extremely
+cautious around making investments over the last few years. Mr Henson noted that
+as business confidence rises on back of potentially stronger job growth and lower
+tax reductions, BBT should see strength across its core banking operations.
+Out of M&A in the near term but looking to grow long term. Management
+reiterated that it is out of the M&A game for now as it looks to execute on
+delivering its targeted synergies from recent deals. That said, management expects
+to eventually engage in M&A deals with BBT having the infrastructure for double its
+size, noting that scale has become important in the current regulatory landscape.
+When asked where investors would like BBT to focus on doing deals, 59% noted
+that it would like management to pursue fee related businesses while 23% would

+lower pension expense as it reduces the overall discounted pension liability given
+that BBT remains one of the few large regional banks that still have defined benefit
+pension plans.
+Potential for regulatory relief requires BBT to reevaluate risk/compliance
+spending. Management noted that 75-80% of its infrastructure budget is based
+around risk management and regulatory costs. Given the possibility of regulatory
+relief coming out of the new administration, management noted that it does not
+want to misallocate its expense spending. As such, management expects to
+redeploy some of those compliance related costs into revenue and service
+generation opportunities stemming from any regulatory relief.
+Branches still have value, but the structure will likely change. Mr. Henson noted
+that he still sees value from BBT's branch network but increasing customer usage
+across its digital channels and with branch transactions down 4%, he expects
+continued branch consolidation at a pace of more than 2-2.5% over the next couple
+years. Moreover, management believes that future branches will be likely be
+smaller in nature and staffed with fewer people that are cross trained with multiple
+responsibilities. As an example of this, Mr. Henson noted that BBT has combined its
+teller and relationship banking role into one branch banker role.

+investors that a 25 bp rate increase would benefit NIl marginally ($1.5mn on an

+significantly. A 100 bp increase contributes to a 5.2% increase in NIl on an annual
+•Continued focus on expenses. Management expects expenses to come in at the
+upper end of their 3% to 3.5% guidance this year, mainly due to performance based
+expenses such as stock based comp and commissions. A potential source of
+expense savings should be reduction in the size of its branches, not necessarily
+overall count. While management has piloted this new branch design it believes that
+converting the entire branch network will be a multiyear process.

+transparency in regards to their capital deployment strategy. Management
+reiterated their commitment to payout 50% of net income in the form of dividends,
+with a remaining portion going to buybacks. BOH has completed over $400mn in

+• CBF expected to prudently grow in CRE as bank is underpenetrated. CFO Chris
+Marshall acknowledged that there exist signs of frothiness within the multi-family
+lending segment. That said, he noted there is still room to grow as peers pull back
+in response to regulatory oversight (3Q; 161% vs. 300% threshold). That said,

+Markets revenue up YoY so far, down from robust 3Q. President and CEO of ICG
+Jamie Forese and CFO John Gerspach noted that at this current point in time, they
+expect a seasonal sequential decline in Markets revenue in 40, but revenues should
+be up Yor on back of stronger activity levels post the election. Moreover, banking
+activity is looking consistent with prior quarters.
+• DTA impact from lower tax rates. Given the possibility of lower tax rates under
+the new administration, there have been many questions around what a potential
+tax cut could mean on C's ability to re-capture some of its DTA. Management noted
+that the impact will depend on 1) the ultimate tax rate, 2) either a worldwide or
+territorial regime, and 3) the time it takes to reflect the new changes. A federal tax
+cut would directly impact the $21B timing related differences component of its
+DTA balance. Assuming a 20% decline in the federal tax rate, this would imply a
+$4B charge to the P&L (20% X $21B). That said, C has $7B of timing difference
+DTA that is not includable in its regulatory capital. As a result, that $4B impact
+would not have an impact on its CET1. In the event that there is a territorial regime,
+there is an element in its foreign subs equal to ~30% of the $21B that would lose
+its value at an accelerated rate. Assuming a 25% tax rate and territorial regime,
+management noted that there would be roughly $12B worth of DTA that would see
+some valuation adjustment and drive a $4B of reduction in its regulatory capital.
+• Aiming to improve market share in Equities. Management noted that C currently
+ranks around 8-9th in the Equities business and while it is not looking to achieve a
+top 3 market share, it would like to improve to around 5-6th. Management noted
+that the revenue gap to reaching that ranking is ~ $1B. While not all of that is

+• Sentiment post-election appears constructive on regulatory relief. CEO
+Dominick Ng noted that the industry could be positively impacted should aspects of
+Dodd-Frank, which have been both challenging and taken up significant internal
+resources (even for banks below the $50bn SIFI asset threshold), be reformed.
+Specifically, Mr. Ng believes the pace of expense growth could likely slow. That said,
+he noted the possibility to shift some of these expense savings to revenue
+generating areas.
+EWBC sees limited impact from anti trade rhetoric during the run-up to the US
+elections. Although recent political rhetoric on China has had a negative bias, Mr.
+Ng believes these views are primarily focused on the traditional-manufacturing
+Chinese industries vs. the country's current strategic emphasis on tech and
+consumer/retail. Despite having only a 4% exposure to Greater China (includes Hong
+Kong), EWBC benefits from its unique positioning, both as industry experts in

+CET1 ratio was 10.9%. While EWBC isn't opposed to using excess capital for an
+acquisition (depending on the market landscape), Mr. Ng prefers to use capital to

+First Hawaiian (FHB), C-2-7, Neutral
+• Positive outlook around the Hawaiian economy. Chairman and CEO Robert
+Harrison and CFO/Treasurer Michael Ching were optimistic with regards to the
+outlook for the Hawaiian economy, particularly around tourism trends. While the
+recent strength of the dollar could impact the inflow of foreign tourists (with Japan
+and Canada the key foreign markets for HI) to the island, management noted that
+the potential for an increases in domestic tourism could help offset the pressure
+from any slowdown due to a stronger USD.
+• Positioned well for higher rates. With regards to its outlook on the impact of
+potentially higher interest rates, management noted that it remains asset sensitive
+with 60% of its loan portfolio floating rate. On the funding side FHB expects the
+deposit beta to remain low given the competitive dynamics in the Hawaii landscape.
+Management anticipates that another 25bp increase in the Fed Funds rate in
+December could have a similar impact on the NIM (+6bp) as it experienced
+following the previous rate hike in Dec '15.
+• Cash deployment to securities completed. Management noted that it has
+completed the liquidity actions that it planned to take from deploying excess cash
+into its securities portfolio and the full impact of this should be visible in 4Q
+results. Note the securities portfolio duration is 3.3yrs at the end of 3Q16.
+Management noted that it prefers to keep $400-500mn at the Fed in cash liquidity.
+• Continued focus on maintaining dividend payout. In terms of capital
+management, management reiterated that it would like to maintain a healthy
+dividend payout. Given that additional capital return from buybacks are limited due
+to the Fed's CCAR process (which FHB is subject to given that it is part of a larger
+holding company owned by BNP), management intends to increase its capital
+payout to shareholders (via higher dividend and buybacks) over time.
+Expenses to stay relatively elevated in near term. During the audience poll, when

+while 31% would like management to increase the dividend payout to over 50% of

+• Ag portfolio offers unique opportunity, but management believes fears
+overstated. As of 3Q16, ag loans represented 25% of the total portfolio (36% in
+grains, 50% in proteins and 14% in other). Tied for first at 38% as a reason why
+investors are hesitant to increase exposure to GWB resonates from the bank's ag
+exposure. While lower grain prices may constrain cash flow on those loans near-
+term, Mr. Chapman noted that this is offset by stronger yields. Management also
+highlighted the relatively low losses observed historically in this portfolio given the
+significant experience within GWB's management ranks in lending to this segment,
+including in the 1980s the last stress period for the farm sector. That said,
+management remains committed to this business as it is key to GWB's footprint.
+• Management reiterated its commitment to actively manage excess capital.
+Although management is comfortable with its current capital levels (30: 9.5% tier 1
+leverage), Mr. Chapman noted the bank's preference is to put its excess capital to
+work. Management reminded investors of the criteria it looks for in a potential
+target. While they continue to look for opportunities within their footprint,
+specifically lA and KS, they remain disciplined. In addition to its recently authorized
+repurchase program of $100mn, management believes a total payout ratio of 30%
+is maintainable.
+IBERIABANK (IBKC), B-1-7, Buy
+• Focused on moving closer to its strategic targets: President and CEO Daryl Byrd
+and Senior Vice President John Davis were upbeat around the outlook for economic
+growth across IBKC's 10 state footprint as the bank looks out into 2017. While
+management has thus far not provided any specific guidance for 2017, we expect
+this to be forthcoming in conjunction with the announcement of 4Q16 results in
+nuary. Moreover, management sounded cautiously optimistic that pro-growt
+blicies (if implemented) coupled with some relief on the regulatory front under th
+new Trump administration could lead to a much stronger growth outlook
+• Energy credit costs should trend lower: Management noted the overall energy
+portfolio should continue to trend lower but is expected to moderate as run-off ir
+stressed energy loans (and loan payoffs) are partially offset by new energy loans,
+with management looking to selectively lend again in the sector. Moreover, with
+energy criticized loans peaking in 1Q16, management expects the criticized loans to
+trend lower barring any major declines in oil prices.

+• Ready for M&A: While a depressed valuation (due to the volatility surrounding oil
+prices) had kept IBKC out of M&A, given the recovery in valuation it noted its desire
+to pursue potential deals across its footprint. Management also noted that while
+the recent move in equity markets had pushed up valuations for potential publicly
+traded sellers, it sees significant opportunity among the privately held banks that
+may look for a merger partner to gain liquidity and monetize the improving
+sentiment surrounding bank stocks. From a size standpoint, management did not
+rule out larger deals. This is not surprising given that IBKC has not shied away from
+pursuing relatively large sized deals previously.
+Rate increase to boost the margin: In terms of its interest rate sensitivity,

+25 basis point move in the Fed Funds rate expected to add 5c to quarterly EPS.
+That said, management recognized that slower mortgage activity due to rising long

+Source: BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research
+• Regulatory relief would be meaningful for NYCB: Given that the prolonged
+timeline for gaining regulatory approval for the Astoria acquisition can be attributed
+to the pro-forma entity crossing over the $50bn SIFI asset threshold, management
+noted the significant relief it would receive from legislative action that would push
+this threshold higher. This would not only make the regulatory burden following the
+closing of the Astoria acquisition more manageable, but would also allow NYCB to
+look at additional M&A opportunities once it integrates Astoria. Moreover, any
+potential relief on LCR compliance would also be welcomed by management as it
+would remove a source of significant pressure on its net interest margin.
+• Higher rates could accelerate refinance activity: While investors tend to view
+rising rates as a headwind to refinance activity, management noted that it had
+already seen a pick-up in applications as borrowers look to lock-in rates based on
+the fear that rates could be significant higher 6-12 months out. As a result, this
+could provide a near term boost to the margin from higher prepay income.
+• Steepening yield curve leading to rising lending rates: Management noted that it
+had recently increased its multifamily coupon by 0.375% to 3.50% on the improved
+interest rate environment. NYCB was not alone in this rate hike as SBNY
+commented that it recently moved up lending rates for its 5-year and 7-year fixed
+multi-family loans. Notably, the increased lending rates are above the current book
+yield of NYCB's loan book implying the potential to offset some of the potential
+pressure from higher funding costs following the December rate hike.

+upbeat on its ability to withstand a downturn in the multifamily market given its

+• Possible tailwind from regulation: Management at Regions noted that while it is
+still uncertain how the regulatory landscape will evolve, a more favorable
+environment could allow Regions to free up investments tied to regulatory
+initiatives and risk management. Management would likely direct these funds to
+product development and customer initiatives.
+• Asset sensitive, particularly to the long end: Regions' executives noted its highly

+thirds of the impact coming from the middle to long end of the curve. Part of the

+income segment) have not changed despite the headlines surrounding a softening
+in the multifamily space.
+• Hiring bankers, even as team hiring on pause: On the hiring front, management
+noted that although it does not expect to hire teams heading into year-end, it is
+continuing to hire individual bankers (recently hired 4 to 5 lenders). Hiring will be
+focused on C&I and specialty finance lenders. Management does not expect to hire
+additional CRE lenders.
+• Easing in regulatory environment could provide some relief on expense growth:
+With regard to the potential for some easing of regulatory burden on the banks
+(important here as SBNY approaches the $50bn asset threshold) under the
+incoming Trump administration management noted that it could see some
+abatement in expense growth associated with compliance costs. However,
+management is running the business based on the current regulatory framework
+and will look for more tangible signs before it makes any changes to investment
+decision, especially as it relates to the compliance infrastructure.
+• Lending rates reflecting the steepening in the yield curve: SBNY noted that it
+had raised rates on its 5-year fixed by 0.125% to 3.5%- 3.625% and 7-year fixed up
+by 0.25% to 4.0%-4.125% following the steepening in the yield curve over the last
+week. We note that this was echoed by SBNY's NY rival NYCB which also noted
+increasing rates on lending products in the aftermath of the move higher in interest
+rates. We believe higher rates associated with new loans and better reinvestment
+opportunities in the securities portfolio should serve as a tailwind to the margin
+even as funding costs will likely trend higher, especially as the Fed raises interest
+rates by 25bp in December.
+• Regulatory scrutiny on multifamily lending manageable: With regard to the
+heightened regulatory concerns surrounding CRE multifamily lending (multifamily is
+50% of SBNY's loan book), management noted that it has implemented a new loan
+system likely coming on line in 3Q17 which should allow the bank to analyze the
+loan portfolio at a more granular level. Management is also underwriting fewer
+interest only multifamily loans in response to the regulatory concerns. Although, it
+noted that it was not losing any significant business due to this as competitors had
+also pulled back and borrower ability (in most instances) to service a non-interest
+only loan.

+assumes a 50-60% deposit beta.
+• SNV keenly focused on credit. Chief Credit Officer Kevin Howard noted
+expectations for net charge-offs to naturally tick up as recoveries become less of a
+benefit and some seasoning in the loan portfolio. Recall during its earnings call,
+management lowered its FY16 net charge-off range to 10-20bp (3Q: 12bp). Mr.
+Howard noted that he would not be surprised if NCOs increased to 15-20bp in 2017
+(cons: 12bp) and stay near those levels for the near future.
+• .
+Management reiterated its intent to continue to deploy excess capital.
+Although SNV will disclose a more detailed capital plan in January, management
+expects to continue deploying excess capital via buybacks, M&A and/or organic
+growth. When asked how management should utilize its excess capital, 56% of the
+audience polled prefers SNV pursue M&A opportunities (vs. 8% last year). In
+reaction, Mr. Stelling noted continued interest in strategic acquisitions (like Entaire)
+but hesitant to execute a large, dilutive transaction. While DTA accretion could allow
+for continued share repurchase, management may choose to be a bit more
+opportunistic around buybacks given the run up in the stock.

+• Mortgage growth to continue despite a downshift in activity: Management was
+optimistic on the outlook for both its mortgage businesses - warehouse lending
+and MCA businesses Management expects both these portfolios in aggregate to
+total 28-33% of average total loan portfolio. Management tried to debunk the
+perception that the MCA business was cannibalizing its warehouse lending business
+and noted that two business were complimentary in nature. Moreover, while initially
+the vast majority of the MCA customers were the ones that TCBI had a relationship
+on the warehouse lending side, it noted that that number had fallen to 50% and is
+likely to move lower over the coming quarters. TCBI has a dedicated sales force
+prospecting for the MCA business.
+• Next rate hike to give a bigger boost to EPS: Management noted its high asset
+sensitivity with most of their loans tied to LIBOR and prime and its expectations for
+an increase in funding costs to remain relatively tempered. With strong demand
+deposit growth during the year and a $1bn reduction in loans with floors (from
+$3.1bn to $2bn), TCBI has become more asset sensitive relative to last year, when a
+rate hike led to a $4mn increase in spread income. Management expects a Dec rate
+hike to boost spread income by more than $4mn a quarter.
+- Remains cautious around CRE lending: Management noted that it intends to grow
+CRE more slowly as it de-risks the portfolio and until it sees a turn in the cycle.
+However, management is optimistic on the credit quality of CRE, particularly noting

+• WFC sees modestly better benefit from steepening yield curve vs parallel shift.
+Following the election, the 1Oyr yield is up 37bp while futures currently imply a 94%
+probability the Fed raises rates in Dec. As such, Treasurer Neal Blinde noted that
+Nic could realize a modestly better benefit to spread income from a steepening
+rield curve vs. the current + 5150mn/atr expectation from a 25bp parallel shift. He
+outlined how the bank's actions to manage an interest rate cycle via balance sheet
+positioning protect on the downside (i.e. post-Brexit) while at the same time allow
+for an uptick when rates rise. WFC received numerous investor questions on when
+they would deploy its dry power ($572bn in liquidity), and management noted that
+the rate backdrop - not question marks on deposit duration - mostly drove
+deployment decisions.
+• WFC reiterated its performance targets disclosed at its Investor Day. WFC
+reiterated its 2-yr performance targets: (1) 1.1-1.4% ROA; (2) 11-14% ROE; (3) 55-

+• WFC continues to make progress on regulatory compliance. As of 3Q, WFC's
+current total loss absorbing capacity (TLAC) shortfall was 2.1% of risk weighted
+assets or $29bn ($43bn including its internal buffer), an $8bn QoQ improvement.
+That said, Mr Blinde assured investors that WFC will continue to focus on deposit
+growth (66% of total funding) even as its long-term debt needs continue. WFC is

+• Energy portfolio performing in-line with expectations. Management reaffirmed
+the >8% allowance on its energy portfolio ($2.3mn or 5% of total loans) remains
+sufficient to cover future losses. However, continued stress in its oilfield services
+portfolio (26% of portfolio) remains the primary reason behind ZION's cautious

+Steepening yield curve a modest benefit, though short-end matters more.
+Despite recent actions that have reduced the bank's asset sensitivity, ZION remains
+the most asset sensitive among US banks. For a 25bp rise in the short-end, ZION
+estimates a $30mn incremental benefit to spread income. That said, due to the
+variable-rate mismatch between assets/liabilities, a steeper yield curve is expected
+to have a marginal impact.
+Potential changes to CCAR viewed as positive for ZION. Mr. Burdiss viewed the
+potential change to the annual stress test (CCAR), specifically the static RWA
+balance, as net positive for the bank/industry. That said, overall these changes are
+immaterial as CCAR remains their capital constraint. Although only 14% of the
+audience polled think more aggressive capital return is the most important catalyst
+for the stock (top response: 29% for stronger revenue growth), investor bias leaned
+higher as it relates to total payout.

+• Management focused the presentation on Marcus, Goldman's new consumer

+loan target market of $850B and Goldman coming to the market with a unique
+skillset of technology and risk management, no channel conflicts or bricks and
+mortar, a strong balance sheet that can provide loans at a meaningful discount to
+peers, and a long history in the financial markets with a strong brand. When fully
+ramped up, this unit could produce pre-tax ROA's of 3-4%, and assuming 9-11%
+equity commitments, this could translate into a high teens ROE.
+• Given the positive sector/GS stock reaction post the election, management was
+asked on what they thought about the future of current regulation and activity
+levels. While they said it is too early to tell the impact, a lower corporate tax rate
+would benefit GS some, a pro-growth policy could positively impact
+confidence/activity levels, and some de-regulation could ease some of the
+operational challenges, though much of the regulation was well intended and has
+created a stronger industry.
+• In terms of the current environment, GS didn't give an exact update, but said
+activity has been healthy and around the election activity was similar to around

+• IVZ is confident it can achieve its 3-5% organic growth rate driven by three main
+pillars. The first being the ongoing search for yield driving fixed income
+flows/allocation which IVZ has benefitted from and should continue to benefit given
+their strong performance, distribution, and product set. The second being ongoing
+"barbelling" by clients which drives flows into passive and alternatives, two
+products IVZ has leadership in. Lastly, IVZ sees opportunity in its institutional
+channel, particularly in Asia which has had notable momentum.
+• Given the run up in rates, IVZ touched upon its fixed income exposure and what
+might be at risk of underperformance/outflows. IVZ mentioned roughly $100B of its
+AUM or ~ 13% was in fixed income that didn't include short duration or floating
+rate, a number they feel is relatively small compared to some of its peers.
+Additionally, within that $100B a major portion had been underperforming because
+of strategic shorter duration, which in a rising rate environment should lead to
+outperformance and potentially negate some of the flow headwind.
+Regarding potential changes from the election, while very early, management thinks
+that whatever happens to the DOL Fiduciary Rule (delay, modify, etc.), the industry
+has already been shifting in a fiduciary direction, and they expect that to continue,
+though the pace could vary depending on the eventual outcome. Additionally, IVZ is
+relatively well positioned given its diversification among ETF/passive and active
+strategies, as well as similar regulations in Europe that it has managed through. In
+terms of a lower corporate tax rate, that would not have much impact to IVZ given
+its Bermuda domicile.

+also disclosed by EV. Flows for C3Q (F4Q) were $4.8B/6% aog or $1.7B/3% aog ex
+exposure management flows, roughly in-line with expectations in a fairly
+challenging backdrop. EV also commented on their recent acquisition of Calvert
+Investments (~$12B AUM, see note) and is excited about the opportunity in ESG
+investing. Calvert is a leader in investing in socially responsible companies, a small
+but rapidly growing area.
+• When asked about the outlook on fixed income performance and flows given the
+recent run up in rates as well as the outlook, EV was fairly positive in their outlook
+given their positioning and leadership in floating rate which should perform well
+and attract flows in a rising rate environment.
+ETMFs continue to be topical for EV given they are the only player in the non-

+NextShares thus far and Waddell and Reed launched 3 of their own in October,
+making 6 total NextShares in the market right now, however they are only available

+industry headwinds to position LM to flow better than the industry: strong
+investment performance, notable progress with consultants over the last several
+years, a healthy institutional pipeline ($8B of unfunded wins/$3B uncalled
+committed capital), highest level of search activity in active equity in several years,
+large cash balances in Europe (20-50% cash allocation across the continent),
+increasing demand for real estate / infrastructure / alts (Clarion, RARE, and
+EnTrustPermal), and a diverse / differentiated product/vehicle set.
+Management also mentioned that besides offering well performing products across

+• If comprehensive tax reform includes an elimination of carried interest tax,
+potentially moving to an ordinary income rate, it could have some impact to after

+much of the income already faces a corporate tax rate. It could make it more

+Mr. Gray thinks the economic narrative has changed for the U.S., from low growth
+and low interest rates to a more pro-growth outlook. There will likely be lower
+taxes, less regulation, and more fiscal spending. A potential offset is that deficits
+from government spending and tariffs could create inflation. Even so, management
+was cautiously optimistic on growth.
+• For Europe, Brexit was the big news and Mr. Gray expects the next couple of years
+will be somewhat challenging for the U.K, though the bigger question is core
+Europe, where rates and inflation are likely to be lower for longer. In Asia, China is
+decelerating, particularly for manufacturing, infrastructure, and real estate which
+will likely continue though don't expect a hard landing in China. A trade war
+between the U.S. and China could be a risk to the downside for China. In India, BX
+sees accelerating economic growth and falling inflation and interest rates, along
+with a lot of demand for office space in India.
+Mr. Gray does not believe we are in the early stages of the real estate cycle, but
+concern over a bubble in commercial real estate in the U.S. is probably overdone for
+a couple of reasons. 1) Supply and demand are reasonable, given modest growth in
+supply and an economy that is growing. 2) Debt levels aren't out of hand like in
+'06/'07. 3) Cap rates are low at around 5%, compared to '07 when 1Oyr treasuries
+were at the same level. Overall, you aren't going to see the same returns as in the
+past, but looking at past periods where rates and growth increased, commercial real
+estate did fine.
+In terms of growth, Mr. Gray is optimistic on the outlook. Half of the areas BX
+invests in today didn't exist at the time of the IPO, and that culture of innovation,
+growth, and investing for attractive returns is alive and well.

+Overall, KKR likes the publicly traded partnership structure today. If comprehensive
+tax reform includes an elimination of carried interest tax, the income would still get
+passed through in that scenario which avoids a second level of taxation, so it still
+may not be attractive to change the structure. But, if the corporate rate is also
+lowered significantly, it could potentially make sense to go to a c-corp.
+• Bill sees infrastructure as a real growth area for KKR. 7-8 years ago it was difficult
+to raise an infrastructure fund as the asset class didn't do very well in the financial
+crisis; today there is more interest. KKR's first infrastructure fund was around $1B
+and the second one was around $3B. Infrastructure needs are tremendous long-
+term, with $1-2 trillion capital needed for projects over the next decade, and
+infrastructure spend is one area of consistency across the two major parties.
+Management thinks that investors understand the reason for the change in the
+distribution policy. KKR likes to pay out the stable dividend and redeploy capital into
+the balance sheet. As part of the year-end process, KKR will likely review the level
+of the fixed distribution and determine whether it should be changed. KKR would
+like to have around 40% of the balance sheet invested in private equity over time.

+elevated near-term as EU merchants renegotiate contracts post-interchange rules

+Blockchain: Potential Transformation of Financial Markets
+With Blockchain one of the most talked about potential disruption in financial services
+and 71% polled noting that blockchain is a significant opportunity for financial service
+firms, we thought it was timely to host a panel on the potential impact of Blockchain on
+financial markets that included Co-founder & COO of R3 Todd McDonald and CEO of
+Axoni Greg Schvey.
+• Blockchain could lead to $60-80bn of annual potential cost savings for
+financial institutions. While it is still early days to know what the full impact of
+potential cost savings that blockchain technology could bring to financial
+institutions, the panelists believe that total savings could reach $60-80bn.
+• Successful implementation of equity swaps. An area where Blockchain has shown
+to be successfully implemented is around equity swaps. Axoni had worked with
+multiple financial institutions to handle data reconciliation around its equity swaps
+record which drove efficiencies.
+• Trade finance viewed as most likely for success. When asked which part of the
+financial industry will be the first to successfully utilize blockchain technology, 38%
+of those polled cited trade finance/transaction banking as the most likely, with 28%
+citing capital markets & securities servicing.

+Implementation could be earlier than expected. While many investors are
+skeptical that blockchain will be broadly adopted in the near term, with none of the
+audience expecting it to be widely adopted within 12-24 months, the panelists were
+more optimistic and believes that there could be upside surprise in terms of the
+timing as proof points and implementation could happen more quickly than
+expected.

+Services, Citadel Securities Inc.), Eric Stockland (Chief Strategy Officer, IEX Corp.)
+and Pankil Patel (Managing Director, Electronic Sales, BofA Merrill Lynch).

+future of regulation post the election.
+• We asked investors what they thought of the current state of the equity market

+Given the announcement that SEC Chairwoman White will leave at the end of
+President Obama's term, this will likely lead to some regulatory uncertainty and lack
+of activity given not enough commissioners to make forward progress. In addition,
+the new Chair will likely be focused on less regulation and one panel member
+thought Reg NMS could come under review.
+Life after DOL: Evolving Beyond the Fiduciary Rule
+• We hosted industry experts for a panel on the Department of Labor's (DOL)
+fiduciary rule, which is set to go into effect in April 2017. Panel participants
+included Michael Hadley (Partner at Davis & Harman LLP), Lisa Bleier (Associate
+General Counsel at SIFMA), and Kevin Crain (Head of Workplace Financial Solutions
+at Bank of America Merrill Lynch).
+• Given potential changes for the brokerage industry, we asked investors "Will the
+DOL's fiduciary rule cause meaningful changes to the brokerage industry?". Most
+investors believe that the rule will cause a number of significant changes to the
+brokerage industry (83%), including significant pressure on commission revenues, a
+shift to advisory and fee based accounts, and assets in motion with some to robo
+advisor and RIA platforms.

+proposals. Mr. Trump and congress could also ultimately defer to the SEC to act on
+a Fiduciary Rule.
+• The biggest issue from the brokerage industry is the contract requirement under
+the BIC. The issue with the contract is increased liability, given the contract makes
+it easier to litigate. This would likely be the primary area for modifications. Even
+though many firms have made announcements regarding changes they expect to
+make, most have not figured out all of the underlying steps yet given that it is so
+complicated and impacts large parts of the business.
+•
+The industry will have to move forward on implementing the rule, given the April
+2017 implementation date, but firms may not put as much effort into certain areas
+that need to be final by January 2018. In addition, prior to Mr. Trump starting, the
+transition team could make an announcement about the rule. However, even at that
+stage firms would have to determine whether or not to act on the announcement.
+• While the most likely scenario is a delay in the rule, with the potential for some
+modifications to ease some of the burdens, most see the trend towards a fiduciary
+rule already well in motion for the industry.
+The Future of Tech-Based Lending
+• James Paris, Executive Vice President at Avant, Ashish Jain, Senior Vice President at
+SoFi and John Schleck, Senior Vice President at Bank of America discussed key
+trends and recent developments in Tech-Based lending.
+Audience members and panelists generally agreed that improved customer service,
+full spectrum lending, and better pricing all are contributing to the growth in tech-
+based lending. SoFi did caution that better pricing is not usually the primary driver
+as banks can usually offer cheaper pricing.

+cost is 1/5* that of a bank which enables it to effectively compete and partner with
+banks. Panelists highlighted the use of data analytics to more efficiently target
+potential customers via direct mail, digital ads or through affiliate programs.
+• Audience members were split on the main risks to investing in tech-based
+companies with limited sustainable competitive advantage, untested credit models
+and fragile all highlighted as key risks. Somewhat surprising given events earlier
+this year, regulatory concerns were not high on the list of investor concerns.

+been focused on P2P applications, the B2B opportunity is 7-10x larger. That said,
+panelists thought, based on experience in the UK, the cost of faster payments
+would likely have to be borne by the existing payment infrastructure as consumers
+have not been willing to pay for faster transfers. Additionally, panelists pointed out
+that in countries where faster payments have been implemented, it has mostly been
+a mandate by regulations suggesting the government has an important role to play.
+• Panelists highlighted Security and Compliance as being essential for a new Fin Tech
+company to be admitted as part of the industry ecosystem. Incumbent payment
+companies will only partner with a new FinTech company that can meet the safety
+and regulatory standards that the incumbent is required to meet.
+Robo Advisors: Shedding Light on the Potential Opportunity
+Guest speakers in this panel included Eli Broverman (Co-Founder and President of
+Betterment), Randy Sternke (Vice President, Business Development at Alkanza), and
+Vaughn Bowman (Director, Managed Solutions Channel Management at BofAML).
+Each firm discussed the unique aspects of their individual business models and
+where they see the robo industry headed in the future.
+• Broverman brought up several key points on how the independent robo advisor
+model came about and why it will continue to grow in the future. He believes that
+the main drivers include a lack of quality advice for investors with few assets,
+investors' beliefs that financial institutions are not aligned with their interests or
+transparent, and the fact that people want financial services to work as well as the
+other technology in their lives. Broverman believes that the biggest opportunity
+going forward is in the mass affluent segment and the 401K space.
+• Alkanza is focused on providing robo capabilities to financial advisory firms through
+partnerships, rather than directly to consumers, with a focus on the platform as well
+as portfolio construction.
+• We surveyed the audience to gauge their views on the potential size of the robo
+advisor market and the most common answer was that assets will surpass $1T,
+followed by assets will hit $500B and then level out.

+State of the Multifamily Market: Cooling or Collapsing?
+e hosted a panel to discuss the state and the outlook for the multifamily mark
+allowing a year which has witnessed increased investor anxiety around multifamily lo
+growth and heightened scrutiny by banking regulators of multifamily loan portfolios,
+particularly at banks with a high concentration of multifamily loans. Our panelists
+included John Jardine, Co-CEO of Ares Commercial Real Estate Corp, David
+Brickman, Executive Vice President and the Head of Multifamily business at
+Freddie Mac and Alan Fishman, Chairman of the Board at commercial real estate
+investment trust Ladder Capital.
+• Multifamily on solid footing: The panelists view the multifamily market as having
+a solid foundation with most of the risk lying at the high end, class A properties in
+particular markets (New York, San Francisco). Even here, the panelists agreed that
+the issues at the high end segment were more likely to manifest themselves in the
+form of decelerating growth in rents (and increased incentives by landlords) as
+opposed to serious credit issues. Investors echoed this sentiment during a live
+audience poll with 60% of the investors seeing issues in the multifamily market
+limited to certain regions and at certain rental price points.

+• Future demand in multifamily promising: Looking forward, the panelists see
+healthy demand for multifamily housing given a preference among millennials to
+live in urban areas versus the suburbs. Moreover, the panelists noted that increasing
+debt burden tied to student loans is likely to make home ownership out of reach for
+several first time home buyers. Furthermore, it was noted that the US needs 1.5mn
+new housing units each year and the present level of construction activity was not
+keeping pace with this when looking at it on a national level.
+• Foreign capital part of the equation: Some of the panelists are seeing a
+significant flow of foreign capital into the multifamily market with Mr. Brickman
+surmising that data around inflow of foreign capital into the commercial real estate
+market was likely understated given that significant amount of inflows have come
+indirectly through investment vehicles like private equity.
+• Risk retention rules modest impact: Our multifamily panelists viewed the risk
+retention rule for CMBS as having a modest impact given the large role played by
+the GSEs in lending to the multifamily space. It was also noted that while the rule
+may dampen private securitization activity, less competition from the CMBS
+markets would be a positive for balance sheet lenders.
+• Impact from rising rates may not be all news: While the panel acknowledged that
+he rise in interest rates will likely push cap rates higher, an increase driven by
+nore favorable growth outlook may not be as bad. This is because a stronge
+economy should theoretically lead to a better backdrop for jobs and wage growth,
+thereby providing landlords some leeway to raise rents.

+• Regulation is about tone: Our panelists agreed that the scope and strength of
+regulation comes from the tone and attitude of regulators rather than from
+legislation. They noted that an attempt to repeal legislation such as Dodd-Frank
+would be misplaced as most direction derives from the tops of regulatory bodies.
+They also felt Senator Hensarling's Financial Choice Act would not be a better
+alternative to Dodd-Frank given the 10% leverage ratio is not a Federal Reserve r
+definition of leverage. Utilizing a Fed definition would likely lead to leverage north
+of 10%. The inclusion of CAMEL ratings with the leverage ratio would also allow

+• CCAR a product of regulatory attitude: The panelists agreed that CCAR in its
+current form is not a result of legislation as post-recession bank stress tests (SCAP)
+existed prior to Dodd-Frank. Furthermore, the panelists noted Dodd-Frank's
+definition of a stress test is very basic, which has been made more stringent and
+complex as a result of regulators. Mr Cohen also noted that a lack of transparency
+of the test was the least defensible part of CCAR.
+• Biggest obstacle for bank M&A and activist influence is regulation. Despite
+headlines of increased shareholder activism within the banking industry, the
+majority of investors polled (61%) believe activist investors have only a moderate
+impact on corporate strategy (see chart). Specifically, Mr. Cohen explained that two
+of the three reasons why an activist will typically get involved with a corporate are
+difficult to achieve on a bank's board given the level of regulatory oversight on the
+industry. While selling the bank is the one area where activists have had success,
+this typically occurs at the community bank level. That said, he believes a change in

+Understanding the Changing Fixed Income Markets
+We hosted a panel to discuss the evolution of the fixed income market structure given
+the advent of electronic trading and regulatory construct. Our panelists included Lee

+Electronic Trading at BofAML) and Brian Callahan (Head of US Par Loan Trading
+and the head of Electronic Initiatives for Global Credit and Special Situations at
+• Electronification of fixed income markets steadily growing; however, lag
+European market. Electronic trading came to fixed income trading in the late
+1990's as a way of automating transactions (i.e. create a more efficient process
+between parties). Today in the US, the investment grade market is 16-20%
+electronic, the high yield market is 8% (has doubled over the last few of years), the
+treasury market (which has been growing steadily over last 10-15yrs) is 80-90% of
+the actual trade count is electronic. While the electronification of the derivative
+market was slower to evolve, recent regulatory reform has accelerated the
+electronification process (50% today). That said, while the evolution towards
+electronification in the US continues to grow, the European bond market is actuals
+more advanced with nearly 50% of the bond market automated (vs. 20% for the
+Regardless of possible regulatory relief, electronification may slow but won't
+end entirely. While a partial repeal or lightening of Dodd-Frank would be a net
+positive for the financial markets, and possibly lower the costs to banks and end-

+modest priority in their own corporate strategy to embrace new
+technologies/electronification in fixed income. Mr. Brown was not surprised by the

+• ETF market for fixed income securities expected to grow significantly. Unlike in
+the equities market where ETFs are 7% of the volume traded, fixed income ETFs
+are still sub-1% (0.8% at YE15). As the market continues to grow, particularly in the
+asset classes where the underlying bonds aren't that liquid, Mr. Callahan noted
+seeing increased liquidity in the ETFs for liquidity reasons. Following in the
+footsteps of the equities market, Mr. Callahan expects the fixed income ETF market
+to grow significantly and be very impactful to the overall market structure.
+• Greater concern around speed at which liquidity can change vs. liquidity in the
+market. There is a lot of concern around liquidity in fixed income markets. That
+said, Mr. Brown is more concerned with the speed at which liquidity can change.
+There has been growing evidence that the market is going to adjust greater and
+faster than the underlying fundamental reasons for the correction. As such, this is
+causing participants to revisit how they look at risk management. Now market
+participants need to take into account not only their behavior, but their reaction to
+other participants' behavior (i.e. contagion effect).
+• Fewer, well-established platforms reduce overall risk within system. Eighty-nine
+(89%) percent of the audience polled prefer to conduct business with a few, well-
+established platforms to diminish risk within the system. Using the government
+bond market as an example, Mr. Olesky points out that the growing contribution
+from PTFs to the overall treasury trade volume has increased the risk outside the
+primary-dealer system. This is a risk Mr. Olesky believes needs to be addressed and
+prefers a central clearinghouse for fixed income transactions.

+Price objective basis & risk
+AllianceBernstein (AB)
+Our $25 price objective is based on 13x target P/E on our '17E, a discount vs our target
+for asset managers as a group, based on improving but inconsistent flows and limited
+active equity exposure as well as the MLP structure which means less liquidity, though a
+high distribution. Upside/downside risks to our price objective are market
+appreciation/depreciation, similar to other asset managers, underperformance, and an
+unpredictable yield since it is based on earnings rather than fixed. Because Alliance is an
+MLP, total potential return includes a variable distribution based on earnings.
+Amer Express (AXP)
+Our $74 price objective reflects a 13x PE multiple to our 2017 EPS estimate. Given the
+elevated uncertainty, we expect AXP will trade near the low end of its historical
+valuation range, which averages 12x-16x. This multiple reflects our view of solid loan
+growth and better billings, offset by increased risks of rising credit and marketing costs.
+We think the market will view AXP through a more credit card lens in the near-term,
+which also supports a multiple at the low end of the historical range.
+Upside risks to our PO are stronger than expected macroeconomic conditions,
+accelerating consumer and business spending, lack of disruptions in capital markets, or a
+decreasing regulatory burden. Downside potential could come from weaker than
+expected macroeconomic conditions and renewed recessionary pressure, softer
+consumer and business spending, disruptions in capital markets, or an increasing
+regulatory burden.
+Ares Management (ARES)
+Our price objective (PO) for Ares is $18, which implies a target price-to-ENI (P/ENI or
+P/E) multiple of 11x our 2017 ENI estimate. Our price objective is based on our sum-of-
+the-parts (SOTP) analysis. Our SOTP analysis includes the following components: a
+target multiple on fee related earnings (15x - in line with or a premium to asset
+manager multiples given healthy growth and sticky assets), book value for the balance
+sheet investments and accrued carry, and a discounted value on the performance fee
+upside over a cycle (1.3x MOIC). Based on this method, we value the fee related
+earnings at $13/unit, the balance sheet (principal investments and accrued carry) at
+$4/unit, and the discounted value of future carry income and investment income at
+$1/unit, which equates to a total value of $18.
+Risks to our PO: a weak macro and capital markets backdrop, potential changes in tax
+laws related to carried interest and partnerships, legal and political risk, increased
+regulation, credit market disruptions, poor performance, weak fundraising, expansion
+risk, key person and talent risk, competition, a unique corporate structure that limits
+unitholder control, and lock ups.
+Associated Banc-Corp (ASB)
+We use an equal weighted three-factor valuation framework (P/E, P/TBV, DCF) to arrive
+at our $20 price objective and assign a 1.4x multiple to 3Q17E TBV and a 14.9x 2017
+P/E multiple, in-line with smid-cap peers due to their near median return profile. Our
+DCF assumes a two-stage cost of capital of 10% and a terminal growth rate of 5%. The
+pside risk to our price objective is a less onerous residential RE cycle. Downside risk
+re a double dip in housing prices, deteriorating energy portfolio and falling renta
+income for commercial properties.
+Banc of California (BANC)
+To arrive at our $15.50 price objective, we have employed a three-factor valuation
+methodology that incorporates target P/E, target P/TBV and a DCF model. For our P/E
+analysis, we use a 14x earnings multiple on BANC's 2017E core earnings below peer

+multiples due to lagging EPS growth. For our P/TBV valuation, we apply a 1.2x tangible
+book multiple to BANCs 2Q17E tangible book below peer multiples due to lagging ROTE.
+For our DCF analysis, we forecast net income growth stabilizes at 3% in the terminal
+stage. We also assume a beta of 1.1x in the terminal stage.
+Downside risks to our price objective are slower than expected loan growth, and a
+reduction in the common dividend.
+Bank of Hawaii Corp. (BOH)
+We use an equal weighted three-factor valuation framework (P/E, P/TBV, DCF) to arrive
+at our 575 PO and assign a 2.2x multiple to 2Q17E TBV, representing a premium to
+peers, which we believe is appropriate given a stronger profitability and capital profile.
+Our 17x multiple on 2017E EPS is equal to the the peer median given average EPS
+growth relative to peers. Our DCF assumes a two-stage cost of capital of 9.8% and a
+terminal growth rate of 3%.
+Downside risks to our price objective are a longer-than-anticipated low rate
+environment and a reversal of local economic improvement. Upside risks are a stronger-
+than-expected economic rebound, better-than-expected capital distribution and a
+shorter-than-anticipated low rate environment.
+BankUnited, Inc. (BKU)
+To arrive at our $37 price objective, we have employed an equal-weighted three factor
+valuation methodology that incorporates target P/TBV, P/E and DCF. We have applied a
+target P/TBV value multiple of 1.5x on our 2Q1 7E TBV and a P/E target multiple of 16x
+'17 EPS, based on BKU's above average growth relative to peers. Our DCF assumes a
+two-stage cost of capital of 7.9% and 9.3% and a terminal growth rate of 6%.
+Downside risks to our price objective are slower CRE loan growth on the back of
+regulatory oversight, as well as an inability to deploy excess capital, increased
+competition for Florida M&A and an inability to continue to implement an organic
+growth strategy in New York City.
+BB&T Corporation (BBT)
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/E, P/TBV, DCF) to arrive at our $45 PO
+and assign a 1.6x multiple to 2017E TBV and 14.5x multiple on 2017E EPS. We have
+weighted the P/E and P/TBV factors equally at 40%, and our DCF analysis by 20%.
+Our EPS multiple is in-line with BBT's historical avg, which reflects very high-growth
+years in the 1990s, a pace unlikely to be achieved near term given BBT's size as well as
+the challenging macro backdrop and industry headwinds. Our DCF assumes a two-stage
+cost of capital of 9.7% and 10.9% and a terminal growth rate of 4%.
+Risks to our price objective are macro risks such as a double dip recession, the
+implementation of a strict liquidity coverage ratio and further regulation on overdraft
+income that restricts bank profitability. Specific to BBT, risks are enhanced regulatory
+scrutiny and capital standards as a Domestic SIFI, the announcement of a large,
+expensive deal, and the risk that the NPBC transaction does not consummate.
+Capital Bank Financial Corp. (CBF)
+Our $38 PO is based on an equal-weighted, two-factor valuation methodology that
+assumes: We assumes a 20.0x P/ 2017e EPS and a target P/TBV of 1.6x to 2017E
+tangible book given our forecast above peer EPS growth.
+Downside risks to our PO are an inability to deploy excess capital and create value

+Citigroup Inc. (C)
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/E, P/TBV, DCF) to arrive at our $60 PO,
+assigning a 0.9x multiple to 2017E TBV and 11x multiple on '1 7E blended NA and EM
+earnings. We have weighted the P/E and P/TBV factors equally at 40%, and our DCF
+analysis by 20%.
+Near term, we view C's current market multiple as overly discounted, but expect money
+center banks will likely continue to trade at a discount to the regionals. Our 1x TBV
+multiple represents a 0.3x discount to our median multiple for our universe. Our
+discount to TBV is a reflection of the earnings drag from Holdings and the fact that
+money centers will most likely continue to trade at a discount to regional peers. Our 11x
+16E multiple is based on a sum of the parts analysis, where we apply a 10.5x multiple,
+on all operations ex. Lat Am and Asia GCB. We then apply a 11x multiple on Lat Am and
+Asia GCB to represent the earnings growth for consumer banking in emerging markets.
+Lastly, we deduct the earnings drag from Holdings. Our DCF analysis assumes a 5%
+growth rate and two stage cost of equity of 13%.
+Risks to our PO are macro risks such as a slower than expected rate of fed hikes. and
+economic downturn and further scrutiny of the financials industry. Specific to C, risks
+are enhanced regulatory and capital standards as a Global SIFI, slower wind-down on Citi
+Holdings than expected, and slower-than-expected growth in the emerging markets and
+potential fines.
+Citizens Financial Group (CFG)
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/TBV, P/E, DCF) to arrive at our $33 price
+objective and assign a 1.2x multiple to our 2017E TBV in-line with other asset sensitive
+peers. We place a 15x multiple on our 2017E EPS, also in-line with its asset sensitive
+peer group. Our DCF assumes a two-stage cost of capital of 10% and a terminal growth
+rate of 5%.
+Downside risks to our price objective are: 1) a significantly delayed Fed rate hike leading
+to pressured revenue growth, 2) higher losses associated with CFG's consumer oriented
+loan portfolio, and 3) a quicker than expected credit normalization.
+Comerica Incorporated (CMA)
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/E, P/TBV, DCF) to arrive at our $55 PO,
+and assign a 1.2x multiple to 2017E TBV (in line with the median energy-exposed peers)
+and 16x multiple on 2017E EPS due to below peer EPS growth and ROTE. We have
+weighted the P/E and P/TBV factors equally at 33%, and our DCF analysis by 33%. Our
+DCF assumes a two-stage cost of capital of 12.3% and 10.5% and a terminal growth
+rate of 5% and Tier 1 common of 8% at termination.
+Downside risks to our PO are a more severe than expected impact from lower energy
+prices, or a slower than expected rate of fed hikes. Upside risks are a better than
+expected rebound in energy prices and sooner recognition of cost saves.
+Commerce Bancshares Inc. (CBSH)
+We use an equal-weighted three-factor valuation framework (P/E, P/TBV, DCF) to arrive
+at our $60 PO and assign a 2.2x multiple to 2Q17E TBV, representing a premium to
+peers, given higher-quality earnings and capital position. Our assigned 18x multiple on
+2017E EPS is at a premium to peers due to higher earnings quality. Our DCF assumes a
+terminal cost of equity of 9%, and a terminal growth rate of 3%.
+Downside risks to our price objective are regulatory headwinds, or longer-than-
+anticipated low-rate environment. Upside risks are a stronger-than-expected economic
+rebound, better-than-expected capital distribution and a potential takeout above our
+price objective.

+Cullen/Frost Bankers Inc (CFR)
+To arrive at our $74 price objective, we employed a three-factor valuation methodology
+that incorporates target P/E, target P/TBV and a DCF model. For our P/E valuation, we
+apply a 15x earnings multiple on CFR's 2017E core earnings. For our P/TBV valuation,
+we apply a 1.7x tangible book multiple to CFR's 2017E tangible book. Both multiples are
+lower than peers for CFR due to EPS headwinds and rising credit costs from lower
+energy prices. For our DCF analysis, we use a net income growth of 3.0% and assume a
+beta of 1.0 in the terminal stage.
+Upside risks to our PO: a sharp rebound in oil prices, higher than expected interest rates,
+stronger loan growth, better than expected credit performance of CFR's energy loan
+portfolio. Downside risks: A worse than expected decline in Texas economic growth that
+impacts CFR's balance sheet growth, a slower than expected pace or rate hikes and a
+worse than expected sell off in oil prices.
+East West Bancorp, Incorporated (EWBC)
+Our three-pronged valuation methodology (target P/E, target P/TBV, and DCF analysis)
+drives our price objective of $50. We assumes a 16.0x P/ 2017e EPS and a target P/TBV
+of 2.0x to 2Q17E tangible book given our forecast above peer EPS growth. Our DCF
+assumes a two-stage cost of capital of 9.5% and a terminal growth rate of 3% Upside
+risks to our PO are a quick economic recovery (led by stabilization or appreciation in CA
+housing values) or a faster than expected recovery in China. Downside risk to our PO is
+an even deeper economic slowdown driving corporate losses higher than we currently
+anticipate, faster than expected normalization in credit.
+Eaton Vance (EV)
+Our $35 price objective is based on a target P/E of 15x calendar 2016E (14x '17E), at a
+discount to our asset-manager group target multiple, given recent outflows from high
+fee products, offset by distinct products in areas such as floating rate and overlay.
+Downside risks to our price objective are market depreciation and investment under-
+performance, as for all asset managers, and (should the economy slow) concentration in
+some credit areas, such as bank loan funds, high yield and longer-duration munis. Upside
+risks are improving performance, flows, or future traction from EV's ETF licensing
+initiative.
+FCB Financial Holdings, Inc (FCB)
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/TBV, P/E, DCF) to arrive at our $44 price
+objective and assign a 1.6x multiple to our 2017E TBV given that we believe the market
+would pay a 0.3x premium for FCB's 2016 estimated returns in line with the median
+premium of its peer group (Florida banks, High Growth, Bank Acquisition, and SMIDs).
+We place a 18x multiple on our 2017E EPS, a premium to its SMIDs peers given our
+outlook for stronger EPS growth. Our DCF assumes a two-stage cost of capital of 10%
+and a terminal growth rate of 3%.
+Downside risks to our price objective are a deterioration in credit quality in FCB'S
+unseasoned newly originated loan portfolio, a downturn in the Florida economy, and
+continued competition for C&/ loans. Upside risks are a better than expected
+improvement in its return profile and a much stronger economic improvement in the
+Florida economy.
+Fifth Third Bank (FITB)
+Our PO of $26 is predicated on target P/E multiple of 15x to reflect higher confidence
+in FITB achieving most of its profit improvement goals related to Project North Star.
+This represents a modest premium versus peers. Downside risks to our PO are a
+prolonged low interest rate environment, expensive M&A and slower than guided loan
+growth on weaker economic activity.

+First Bancorp Puerto Rico (FBP)
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/TBV, P/E, DCF) to arrive at our $6.50 price
+objective. We assign a 1.0x multiple to our 2Q17E TBV, below the 1.6X for peers, due to
+the overhang of PR fiscal issues that may reduce TBV. Our revised implied 2Q17E TBV
+of 1.0x is consistent with a 5% ROE. We assign a 10x multiple to our 2017E EPS, in line
+with peers. Our DCF assumes a two-stage cost of capital of 10% and a terminal growth
+rate of 3%.
+Downside risks to our price objective are a worse-than-expected restructuring of PR
+government debt, deterioration in the Puerto Rican economy that could hurt the ongoing
+credit and earnings recovery at FBP, a change in management's strategy to dispose
+troubled assets, and potential regulatory risk stemming from the ongoing
+implementation of the Dodd-Frank financial rules. Upside risks to our price objective are
+a much stronger economic improvement in Puerto Rico and a better-than-expected
+improvement in asset quality trends at FBP.
+First Hawaiian Inc. (FHB
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/E, P/TBV, DCF) to arrive at our $31 PO
+and assign a 2.2x multiple to 2017E TBV and 17x multiple on 2017E EPS, representing
+premium target multiples for the median smid-cap banks under coverage. We have
+weighted the P/E and P/TBV factors equally.
+A superior profitability profile suggests an above peer multiple. Our DCF assumes a two-
+stage cost of capital of 8% and a terminal growth rate of 4%.
+Risks include 1) FHB's reliance on the Hawaiian economy with 80% of the franchise
+spread across Hawaii, Guam, and Saipan poses downside risk to EPS from a severe
+economic downturn in this region. 2) While FHB has a history of conservative
+underwriting its exposure to auto loans could serve as an overhang if investor concerns
+around the health of the auto sector and consumer increase. 3) Expectations for
+continued divestiture by French bank BNP (owns 82% of shares o/s) could temper stock
+performance.
+First Horizon National Corp. (FHN)
+We use a three-prong valuation framework (P/E, P/TBV, DCF) to arrive at our $16 price
+objective and assign a 1.5x multiple to 2Q17E TBV and a 14x multiple to 2017E EPS
+(inline with median for our mid-to-small cap universe). We believe that this valuation
+discount is warranted given the below average earnings growth that we forecast for
+FHN. Our P/TBV and P/E targets reflect our expectation that earnings growth and
+profitability will remain challenged by a low growth low interest rate environment. Our
+DCF assumes a two-stage cost of capital of 10% and a terminal growth rate of 5%.
+Downside risks to our price objective are a double dip in home prices and slower
+residential real estate recovery. Upside risks are FHN being taken out above our price
+objective and better performance in the economy than we expect.
+Franklin Financial Network, Inc. (FSB)
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/TBV, P/E, DCF) to arrive at our $36 price

+vould pay no premium for FSB's 2016 estimated returns of 14%, below the median of
+its peer group (High performing, Southeast peers, and SMIDs). We place a 14x multiple
+on our 2017E EPS, a premium to its peer group given above average expected EPS
+growth. Our DCF assumes a two-stage cost of capital of 10% and a terminal growth
+rate of 3%.

+Goldman Sachs (GS)
+We value the brokers based on the relationship between ROE (return on equity) and PB
+(price to book), which has a high historical correlation. Our $230 PO is based on a target
+PB multiple of 1.2x our forward book value estimate, which is above our 2017E ROE of
+roughly 10% as we add in higher interest rate expectations and loosening regulations
+Risks to the downside are a weaker economy/capital markets, increased macro issues,
+tougher regulation, and litigation, while risks to the upside are a stronger economy,
+moderating macro risks, market share gains, and less onerous regulatory and legal
+issues.
+Great Western Bancorp Inc (GWB)
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/TBV, P/E, DCF) to arrive at our $42 price

+would pay premium for GWB's 2016 estimated returns of 15%, in line with the median
+premium of its peer group (High performing, Midwest peers, and SMIDs). We place a 16x
+multiple on our 2017E EPS, a premium to its peer group given higher quality earnings.
+Our DCF assumes a two-stage cost of capital of 10% and a terminal growth rate of 3%.
+Downside risks to our price objective are a prolonged downturn in the farm sector and
+lower for longer interest rate environment. Upside risks are a better than expected
+improvement in the farming industry and a much stronger economic improvement in the
+Midwest economy.
+Hancock Holding (HBHC)
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/TBV, P/E, DCF) to arrive at our $41 price
+objective. We assign a 1.5x multiple to our 2Q17E TBV, in line with SMID-cap peers
+based on their in-line return profile, and this translates to $35.75. We place a 14.5x
+multiple on our 2017E EPS, in line with other peers based on forecasted EPS growth, for
+$33. Our DCF assumes a two-stage model with terminal growth rate of 3.5% and a cost
+of capital of 8.5% to derive our $35 PO.
+Downside risks to our price objective are regulatory issues, slowing growth and if M&A
+synergies do not materialize. Upside risks are better than expected cost saves, stronger
+loan growth that would lead to better than forecast spread revenue and lower credit
+costs.
+Huntington Bancshares Inc. (HBAN)
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/E, P/TBV, DCF) to arrive at our PO of $13
+and assign a 1.8x multiple to 2017E TBV and a 14x multiple on 2017E EPS, below
+historical multiples. This is due to more stringent capital standards and the negative fee
+income impact of pending regulatory reform. Our DCF analysis uses a cost of equity of
+15.7% in the first stage and 11% in the second stage, and a terminal growth rate of 3%.
+Risks to our price objective are an inability to offset regulatory fee income headwinds
+and integration risk associated with FMER. Other risks are an inability to return capital
+to shareholders in a timely fashion or overpaying for an acquisition target.

+underperformance, as for all asset managers, along with volatile flows in IVZ's passive
+strategies, non-US currency and market risk.
+JPMorgan Chase & Co. UPM)
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/E, P/TBV, DCF) to arrive at our $83 PO,
+assigning a 1.5x multiple to 2017E TBV and 13x multiple on 2017E EPS. We have
+weighted the P/E and P/TBV factors equally at 40%, and our DCF analysis by 20%.
+Near term, we view JPM's current market P/E multiple as overly discounted, but expect
+money center banks will likely continue to trade at a discount to the regionals. Our 11x
+multiple is a 2x discount to our median multiple as we believe in the near future, money
+centers will continue to trade at a discount to regional peers. Our DCF assumes a two-
+stage cost of capital of 10% and a terminal growth rate of 4%.
+Risks to our price objective are macro risks such as a longer than expected low interest
+rate environment and further regulation and scrutiny of the financials industry. Specific
+to JPM, risks are enhanced regulatory and capital standards as a Global SIFI, mortgage
+putback risk, material decline in investment banking/trading profitability, and increased

+stage cost of capital of 13.4% and 10.9% and a terminal growth rate of 5% and Tier 1
+common of 8% at termination.
+Downside risks to our PO are a prolonged low interest rate environment, greater than

+KKR & Co. (KKR)
+Our price objective (PO) for KKR is $17, which results in a target price-to-ENI (P/ENI or

+is based on our sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) analysis. Our SOTP analysis is based on the
+following components: a target multiple on fee related earnings (11x - discount to asset
+nanager multiples given revenue mix), a discount to book value for the balance sheet
+investments and accrued carry given markets, and a discounted value on the
+performance fee upside over a cycle. Based on this method, we value the fee related
+earnings at $6/unit, the balance sheet (principal investments and accrued carry) at
+;9/unit, and the discounted value of future carry income and investment income at
+$2/unit, which equates to a total value of $17, in line with our price objective.

+Legg Mason (LM)
+Our $36 price objective is based on a target P/E multiple of 12x our calendar '17E, a
+discount to the group, given financial leverage, muted flows, and deal/integration risk.
+Downside risks to our price objective: an equity sell-off or weakening flows, which
+would pressure AUM and revenues. A return to past under-performance at key affiliates
+is also a risk for Legg, given its fragile recovery and brand issues. Given their affiliate
+model there are integration risks. Upside risks to our price objective are better than
+expected equity markets, performance, or flows, or an accretive acquisition.
+Morgan Stanley (MS)
+We value the brokers based on the relationship between ROE (return on equity) and PB
+(price to book), which has a high historical correlation. Our S43 PO is based on a target
+PB multiple of 1.3x our forward book value estimate, which is above our 2017E ROE of
+our multiple.
+Risks are a weak economy, low rates for longer, a significant reduction in capital
+markets activity, weak returns, another shock to the financial system, ongoing
+competition and talent risk, tighter regulation, significantly higher capital requirements,
+and ongoing litigation risks.
+New York Community Bancorp (NYCB)
+Our price objective is $17 and we use a three factor valuation model equally weighing
+valuations using P/E, P/TBV and DCF models. To arrive at our P/E valuation, we assign a
+14x multiple to our blended '1 7e EPS or inline with the median of other CCAR banks
+with $50-100bn in assets. To arrive at our P/TBV valuation we applied a 2.2x multiple to
+our 2Q17E TBV, a premium to NY/Thrift and smid cap peers given NYCB's superior
+return profile. We arrive at our DCF valuation using we assume a 2% terminal growth
+rate and a WACC of 8%.
+Upside risks to our price objective are: 1) Change in SIFI threshold could drive a relief
+rally, 2) Lower for longer rate backdrop, and 3) A period of heightened market volatility.
+Downside risks to our price objective are: 1) worse than expected impact on ROTE from
+increased capital standards from obtaining the SIFI designation and 2) higher than
+expected impact from increasing rates on funding cost.
+Prosperity Bancshares Inc (PB)
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/TBV, P/E, DCF) to arrive at our $58 price
+objective. We assign a 1.8x multiple to our 2Q17E TBV (40% weight) compared to 1.1x
+median of TX peers. We believe the 0.7x premium to Texas peers is warranted given
+PB's above average return on tangible equity (ROTE) profile. We place a 14x multiple on
+2017E EPS, in line with historical P/E median (40% weight) net of accretable yield. Our
+DCF valuation (20% weight) suggests a fair value of $45. Our DCF assumes a terminal
+growth rate of 3% and cost of capital of 9.9%.
+Risks to our price objective are worse than expected drop in the price of oil, better than

+estimates imply RF would generate ROTEs of 10-11% in 2016-2017E, hence we find RF
+fairly valued at 1.3x TBV. Our 13x multiple is in-line with large regional peers. Our DCF
+assumes a two-stage cost of capital of 13.6% and 10.5% and a terminal growth rate of
+6.5% and Tier 1 common of 8% at termination.
+Downside risks to our PO are a slower-than-expected credit recovery, and the Fed on
+hold for a longer period of time.
+Signature Bank (SBNY)
+We use an equal-weighted three-factor valuation framework (P/E, P/TBV, DCF) to arrive
+at our $160 PO and assign a 2.1x multiple to 3Q17E TBV, representing a premium to the
+group, which we believe is appropriate given a stronger profitability and capital profile,
+and above-peer-growth prospects. Our 16.1x multiple on 2017E is higher than peers
+given consistent above peer growth. Our DCF assumes a two-stage cost of capital of
+10% and a terminal growth rate of 4%.
+Risks to our price objective are required provisioning at higher-than-forecast levels,
+further deterioration in rental income for commercial properties, and a longer-than-
+anticipated low-rate environment.
+SunTrust Banks, Inc. (STI)
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/E, P/TBV, DCF) to arrive at our $53 PO,
+assigning a 1.7x multiple to 2017E TBV and 14.5x multiple on 17E EPS. Above peer
+P/TBV due to their above median profitability, and below peer P/E due to their below
+median EPS growth. We have weighted the P/E and P/TBV factors equally at 40%, and
+our DCF analysis by 20%.
+Our DCF assumes a two-stage cost of capital of 12% and a terminal growth rate of 4%.
+Risks to our price objective are macro risks, such as a slower than expected rate
+increase. Upside risks are higher-than-expected capital return, a general beta rally for
+bank stocks, and faster recognition of "normalized" earnings.
+SVB Financial Group (SIVB)
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/TBV, P/E, DCF) to arrive at our $165 price
+objective and assign a 1.8x multiple to our 2Q17E TBV and apply a 17x P/E to 17E EPS.
+Our valuation multiples are both in line with high growth peers due to SIVB's high
+profitability and EPS growth profile. Our DCF assumes a two-stage cost of capital of
+9.5% and a terminal growth rate of 6%.
+Downside risks are a longer than expected low rate environment and a slowdown in the
+technology sector and related IPO activity. Upside risks are sooner than expected rate
+hike, or better than expected pickup in the tech sector.
+Synovus Financial Corp. (SNV)
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/E, P/TBV, DCF) to arrive at our $40 price
+objective and assign a 1.7x multiple to our forward 2Q17 TBV, given peers are currently
+trading higher and a discount is warranted given their lower return profile. We place a
+15x multiple on 2017E EPS, in line with the historical median for the stock. Our DCF
+assumes a two-stage cost of capital of 9%, and a terminal growth rate of 3%.
+Downside risks to our price objective are potentially slower-than-expected economic
+growth in their footprint or a potential takeout price that is lower than where the stock
+is trading today. Upside risks to our price objective are a quicker pick-up in capital return
+than we are expecting and SNV being acquired above our price objective

+We use an equal weighted, three-factor valuation framework (P/E, P/TBV, DCF) to arrive
+at our PO of $14. We assigned a 1.2x multiple to 2Q17E TBV and a 12x multiple on
+2017E EPS, with lower PTBV/PE multiple than peers assigned due to the higher
+perceived risk of their lending model. Our DCF assumes a two-stage cost of capital of
+9.4% and 11.5% and a terminal growth rate of 2%.
+Upside risk to our price objective is a less onerous residential real estate cycle favorably
+benefiting credit provision forecasts. Downside risks are a double dip in home prices
+and a prolonged low rate environment.
+Texas Capital Bancshares Inc. (TCBI)
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/TBV, P/E, DCF) to arrive at our $74 price
+objective and assign a 1.7x multiple to our 2Q1 7E TBV, below high growth peers due to
+possible losses as a result of the downturn in energy prices. We place a 17x multiple on
+our 2017E EPS, below TBI's historical pre-crisis P/E multiple based on possible EPS
+headwinds from their energy exposures. Our DCF assumes a two-stage cost of capital of
+10% and a terminal growth rate of 4%.
+Downside risks to our price objective are lower than expected oil prices and a slowdown
+in economic activity in Texas. Upside risk to our price objective is better than expected
+ramp up in MCA business, and sooner than expected hike in rates, faster than expected
+recovery in oil prices.
+The Blackstone Group (BX)
+Our price objective (PO) for Blackstone is $29, which results in a target price-to-ENI
+(P/ENI or P/E) multiple of 12x our 2017 ENI estimate. Our price objective is based on
+our sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) analysis. Our SOTP analysis is based on the following
+components: a target multiple on fee related earnings (16x - roughly in line with or a
+premium to top tier asset manager multiples given healthy growth and sticky assets),
+book value for the balance sheet investments and accrued carry, and a discounted value
+on the performance fee upside over a cycle (1.5x MOIC). Based on this method, we value
+the fee related earnings at $14/unit, the balance sheet (principal investments and
+accrued carry) at $6/unit, and the discounted value of future carry income and
+investment income at $9/unit, which equates to a total value of $29, in line with our
+price objective.
+Risks to our PO: a weak macro and capital markets backdrop, potential changes in tax
+laws related to carried interest and partnerships, legal and political risk, increased
+regulation, poor performance, weak fundraising, expansion risk, key person and talent
+risk, competition, and a unique corporate structure that limits unitholder control.
+The Carlyle Group (CG)
+Our price objective (PO) for Carlyle is $18, which implies a target price-to-ENI (P/ENI or
+P/E) multiple of 13x our 2017 ENI estimate. Our price objective is based on our sum-of-
+the-parts (SOTP) analysis. Our SOTP analysis is based on the following components: a
+target multiple on fee-related earnings (16x, roughly in line with or a premium to asset
+manager multiples given growth outlook), book value for the balance sheet investments
+and accrued carry, and a discounted value on the performance fee upside over a cycle
+(1.5x MOIC). Based on this method, we value the fee-related earnings at $4 share, the
+balance sheet at $5 share, and incentive upside at $9 share, which equates to a total
+value of $18, in line with our price objective.
+Risks to our PO: a weak macro and capital markets backdrop, potential changes in
+carried interest and partnership tax laws, regulatory and political risk, poor performance,

+The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (PNC)
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/E, P/TBV, DCF) to arrive at our $110 PO
+and assign a 1.4x multiple to 2017E TBV and 14x multiple on 2017E EPS, in line with
+target multiples for the median large regional banks under coverage. We have weighted
+the P/E and P/TBV factors equally at 40%, and our DCF analysis by 20%.
+A superior profitability profile suggests an above peer multiple - however, a challenging
+macro backdrop and specific industry headwinds restrain our P/E target. Our DCF
+assumes a two-stage cost of capital of 9.6% and 11.2% and a terminal growth rate of
+4%.
+Risks are macro risks such as a lower for longer rate environment, the implementation
+of a strict liquidity coverage ratio and further regulation on overdraft income that
+restricts bank profitability.
+U.S. Bancorp (USB)
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/E, P/TBV, DCF) to arrive at our $50 PO,
+assigning an above peer 2.8x multiple to 2017E TBV and near median 14.5x multiple on
+2017E EPS due to their above median profitability. We have weighted the P/E and
+P/TBV factors equally at 40%, and our DCF analysis by 20%. Our DCF assumes a two-
+stage cost of capital of 9.5% and 10.9% and a terminal growth rate of 5%.
+Risks to our price objective are macro risks such as a double dip recession, the
+implementation of a strict liquidity coverage ratio and further regulation on overdraft
+income that restricts bank profitability. Specific to USB, risks are enhanced regulatory
+scrutiny and capital standards as a Domestic SIFI and an announcement of a large
+expensive deal that could weigh on the stock price.
+UMB Financial Corporation (UMBF)
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/TBV, P/E, DCF) to arrive at our $78 price
+objective and assign a 1.8x multiple to our 2Q17E TBV, in-line with peers, and we place
+a 18x multiple on our 2017E EPS, above peers given our above median EPS growth
+forecast. Our DCF model assumes cost of equity of 8% and a terminal growth rate of
+Downside risks to our price objective are continued rising long rates, which could
+negatively impact the company's sizable securities book and erode tangible book value.
+In addition, a sudden outflow of deposits could impact EPS and the asset sensitivity of
+UMBF's balance sheet to higher interest rates. Upside risks to our price objective are a
+much faster asset mix change into higher yielding loans that significantly increases its
+net interest margin.
+Wells Fargo & Company (WFC)
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/E, P/TBV, DCF) to arrive at our $55 PO,
+assigning a 1.75x multiple to 2017E TBV and 13x multiple on 2017E EPS. We have
+weighted the P/E and P/TBV factors equally at 40%, and our DCF analysis by 20%.
+Our 1.6x TBV multiple represents a 0.3x premium to our mega-cap median multiple, but
+we believe this is justified due to WFC's superior returns on tangible equity (ROTE
+consistent between 13%-14% throughout our forecast period, versus 12% for peers).
+Our 12x EPS multiple is in line with our mega-cap median multiple. We believe WFC
+serves to trade at a premium due to better earnings growth, but we are assumin
+IFC trades in line with peers due to a higher percentage of earnings from mortgag
+banking and accretable yield, as well as potentially greater regulatory scrutiny as the
+second largest US depository. Our DCF assumes a two-stage cost of capital of 11% and
+a terminal growth rate of 4%.

+has both hobbled bank profits-which represent
+a third of EuroStoxx 50 earnings-and boosted
+equity valuations. But with ECB policy unlikely
+to become any more accommodative, additional
+valuation expansion can no longer be taken for
+granted. Instead, the onus for Eurozone equity
+upside now rests with earnings.
+Here, the prospects are favorable for several
+reasons. First, above-trend Eurozone GDP growth
+is likely to lead to boosted domestic sales and
+reduced economic slack, both of which have lifted
+Eurozone earnings in the past. Second, the broader
+pickup in global GDP growth we expect should
+benefit the 45% of the EuroStoxx 50's sales that
+are generated outside Europe. Higher revenue
+is particularly beneficial to these EuroStoxx
+firms given their operating leverage, as small
+improvements in sales spread over their sizable
+fixed costs also push profit margins higher. Finally,
+financial sector earnings stand to benefit from the
+higher interest rates we foresee.
+Against this backdrop, we expect earnings
+to expand 5% in 2017. Meanwhile, valuation
+multiples are likely to contract slightly as interest
+rates normalize higher and investor focus shifts
+toward eventual ECB tapering late this year.
+Combining these elements with a 3.6% dividend
+yield implies EuroStoxx 50 total returns of
+3% in 2017.

+The risks to our base case are skewed mildly
+to the upside. After underperforming most equity
+markets in 2016, Eurozone equities have room to
+play catch-up. Moreover, the passing of long-feared
+French and German elections could compress
+today's elevated equity risk premium, although
+political uncertainty is likely to remain high in the
+interim. Finally, investors' recent shift toward firms
+more exposed to the business cycle should benefit
+Eurozone firms given their greater operating
+leverage (see Exhibit 63).
+Within the Eurozone, we are overweight
+Spanish equities. Here, we are drawn to attractive
+valuations (see Exhibit 64), domestic growth
+momentum and embedded overweight to banks.

+UK economy—should benefit from the accelerating
+global GDP growth we expect this year, just
+as this exposure profited from last year's 16%
+depreciation of the British pound (see Exhibit
+65). Second, last year's best-performing sectors—
+commodities and financials-are well positioned
+to extend their run. Financials-the largest UK
+sector-stands to benefit from rising interest rates,
+while the commodity sectors should get a boost
+from higher oil prices. Notably, these two sectors
+account for nearly half of FTSE 100 market
+capitalization.
+With these tailwinds in mind, we forecast UK
+earnings growth of 11% this year, the highest of
+our estimates across EAFE markets. That said,
+continued uncertainty around the implications
+of Brexit coupled with higher interest rates will
+likely weigh on FTSE 100's well-above-average
+valuations. This view, combined with the UK equity
+market's hefty dividend yield of 4.0%, results in a
+4% total return projection for the FTSE 100.
+Although this return is attractive on its face,
+we do not believe it offers investors a large enough
+margin of safety to justify a tactical overweight.
+Keep in mind that significant uncertainties remain
+around the final contours of Brexit. Moreover,
+a shift by the Bank of England toward raising
+interest rates this year could reverse much of the
+British pound's depreciation, to the detriment of
+UK earnings. Finally, FTSE 100's global footprint
+could magnify any disruption to global trade
+volumes resulting from protectionist policies.
+We project UK earnings growth of
+11% this year, the highest of our
+estimates across EAFE markets.
+Japanese Equities: Scaling a Familiar Peak
+Japanese equities have experienced their fair share
+of booms and busts over the last 25 years. As seen
+in Exhibit 66, this pattern of offsetting swings has
+resulted in a "fat and flat" 108 trading range. With
+the TOPIX price level again in the upper third of
+its historical band, it is natural to ask whether
+2017 will mark yet another market top in Japan.
+The earnings outlook is pivotal to answering
+this question. While our forecast for accelerating
+global GDP growth points toward higher
+earnings, near-peak profit margins are
+a headwind (see Exhibit 67). Moreover,
+with less central bank easing given the
+BOj's already sizable balance sheet, yen
+depreciation-a key driver of Japanese
+revenue growth since 2012—is expected
+to moderate this year. Even so, the

+interplay of these inputs should still lead to positive
+earnings growth of 6% in 2017.
+The direction of valuation multiples is equally
+important. As shown in Exhibit 68, Japanese
+valuations are middling based on their history
+since 1999, which we believe is the relevant
+evaluation period given the deflationary headwinds
+that emerged thereafter. For equity multiples
+to move significantly higher from here would
+require sustainable above-trend earnings growth
+or a sizable increase in direct equity purchases
+by the Japanese central bank. But with the BOJ
+already holding a remarkable 60% of Japanese
+ETF market assets109 and profit margins near
+their peak levels, neither of these upside catalysts
+seems probable. In fact, P/E multiples are forecast
+to contract in our base case, as the 6% earnings
+growth we expect will likely disappoint current
+market expectations of 12%.
+Putting these pieces together, we expect neither
+a boom nor a bust for Japanese equities. Instead,
+the combination of mid-single-digit earnings
+growth, slight compression in valuation multiples
+and a 1.9% dividend yield should generate a
+5% total return. While this return is attractive

+Emerging market equities as a whole finally moved
+forward in 2016 after three years in reverse:
+multiples expanded, earnings estimates improved

+total return. Politics and commodity prices were
+key performance differentiators among emerging

+by faster nominal GDP growth and the lagged
+impact of easier financial conditions and higher
+commodity prices. But with multiples already at

+rates and heightened risks, we see little scope for
+further expansion. Combining these two inputs
+with a dividend yield of 2.6%, our forecast implies
+a total return of about 7% this year.
+However, the uncertainty around this forecast
+is quite large, as emerging market equities face
+several potential potholes on the road ahead.
+Chief among these is the ultimate policy agenda
+of the incoming US administration. On the one

+On the other hand, a harsher US stance on trade

+in 2016 (see Exhibit 70). The yen, for example,

+We discuss our view on the broader US dollar,
+as well as each of these currencies, next.
+US Dollar
+Following three consecutive years of dollar
+outperformance, it would be reasonable to assume
+the up-cycle is nearing an end. After all, dollar
+valuation is now close to its historic average level
+relative to the currencies of US trade partners, after
+adjusting for inflation. Moreover, the length of this
+dollar bull market is approaching that of the two
+prior episodes shown in Exhibit 71 and shares a
+similar underlying driver-tighter monetary policy
+in the US relative to its global peer group.
+But while we expect the pace of US dollar
+appreciation to slow, there are many reasons
+to believe the greenback's outperformance can
+continue this year. Dollar valuation remains
+below the peaks reached in the 1985 and 2002
+bull cycles, suggesting it is not yet prohibitively
+expensive. The dollar should also benefit from
+solid US macroeconomic fundamentals relative to
+other developed economies. President-elect Trump
+ran on a platform that includes fiscal expansion
+and corporate tax reform. Although his economic
+team's spending plan is still forthcoming, the
+package could represent an economic tailwind that
+may justify tighter US monetary conditions at a
+time when foreign central banks have committed
+to easier policy. In turn, relatively higher US yields
+may entice global investors to favor US dollar
+assets over lower-yielding foreign-denominated
+alternatives.
+Furthermore, some elements of the new
+administration's desired corporate tax reform
+could present material upside risk to the US dollar.
+For example, the destination-based tax system
+supported by several House Republicans disallows
+deductions for any imported good or service—

+more competitive. Economic theory suggests that
+free-floating currencies such as the US dollar
+would need to adjust higher by the amount of
+the tax to create equilibrium with similar goods
+sourced across foreign borders. Taken at face
+value, this implies a 20% destination tax would
+require a simultaneous-and potentially very
+disruptive—20% increase in the US dollar. A tax

+news is embedded in current prices (see Exhibit
+72). Consider that the bulk of last year's dollar
+advance occurred in the two weeks following the

+Yen
+For yen investors, last year was a reminder that
+markets often take an escalator up but an elevator
+down. After steadily appreciating almost 20%
+against the US dollar over the first nine months
+of 2016, the currency forfeited those gains in
+just weeks after the surprising US presidential
+election. Although the net effect was a small 2.8%
+appreciation last year-breaking a four-year streak
+of yen weakness—we do not believe further yen
+strength is likely.
+There are two reasons for this view. First, the
+BOJ will likely keep rates negative or close to zero
+this year by maintaining highly accommodative
+monetary policy. In turn, Japanese investors will
+continue to sell low-yielding domestic assets—
+placing downward pressure on the yen-in order
+to fund purchases of higher-yielding offshore assets
+(see Exhibit 74). Japan's Government Pension
+Investment Fund (GPIF)-which manages the
+world's largest public pension-is a case in point,
+as it will need to sell domestic fixed income assets
+to reach its stated targets for foreign investments.
+Similarly, Japanese life insurers may increase
+their exposure to foreign currencies if interest
+rate differentials between the US and Japan
+remain wide.
+Second, Japanese corporations are likely
+to sell yen to invest in foreign operations with
+Outlook Investment Strategy Group
+better growth prospects, which will also place
+downward pressure on the Japanese currency; such
+announcements are already on the rise. 110
+This is not to suggest that the prospects for the
+yen are completely one-sided. The higher global
+rates we expect may make it difficult for the BOJ
+to maintain such low domestic yields, which would
+alleviate some of the downward pressure on the
+currency. Moreover, the many sources of global
+uncertainty in the year ahead could lead investors
+back into the yen as a liquid hedge, as we saw in
+the first half of 2016. Finally, after four years of
+weakness, the yen has reached undervalued levels.
+Given this more balanced risk profile, we
+currently have no tactical position in the yen.
+British Pound
+While broader financial markets were unperturbed
+by the UK's decision to leave the European Union,
+the same cannot be said for currencies. Here,
+the Brexit vote sent the pound tumbling to its
+lowest level versus the US dollar since the 1985
+Plaza Accord. 111 Although the pound has since
+recovered some of those losses, its 16.3% decline
+relative to the US dollar last year still ranks as the
+worst performance among all developed market
+currencies.
+The trajectory of the pound will be largely
+shaped by the evolution of Brexit negotiations.
+Even though six months have passed since the
+vote, there is no greater clarity on how the UK
+will ultimately exit the European Union and on
+what terms. Clearly a combative stance could see
+the pound weaken further as the market discounts
+lower potential growth in the UK. Alternatively, a
+more conciliatory negotiating position could lead
+to upside from today's depressed levels.
+Barring a hostile negotiating tack from the
+UK government, the pound also has several other
+factors working in its favor. First, foreigners
+continue to buy pounds to invest in UK-domiciled
+assets and firms, which is vital to funding the UK's
+sizable 5.2% of GDP current account deficit. In
+fact, one of the largest cross-border acquisitions
+last year was announced less than one month
+following the EU referendum. 112 Importantly,
+higher-frequency data shows this merger and
+acquisition (M&A) momentum is continuing (see
+Exhibit 75).

+higher UK interest rates would make sterling-
+denominated assets more appealing to foreign
+investors and support the currency.
+Finally, while sterling certainly has scope to
+depreciate, market participants are already well-

+Emerging Market Currencies
+Emerging market currencies caught a welcome
+updraft last year, following a 45% freefall since
+mid-2011. The flight was not without turbulence,
+however. Following a 12% rally in the first half of
+the year-reflecting a dovish shift in US monetary
+policy and waning fears about Chinese capital
+outflows-emerging market currencies hit an air
+pocket that erased much of these gains following
+the surprise outcome of the US elections.
+We believe this downdraft is likely to persist.
+The prospect of higher US interest rates, a stronger
+dollar and China's bumpy deceleration spells
+tighter global financial conditions and a risk

+of capital outflows from emerging markets—
+conditions that have historically constituted a stiff
+headwind to their currencies.
+These risks are magnified by the uncertainty
+surrounding the incoming US administration's
+trade policies. Fears of protectionism have already
+negatively impacted the currencies of China and
+Mexico-the two largest sources of manufacturing
+exports to the US-with the peso and Chinese
+renminbi down 11.6% and 2.3%, respectively,
+since the election.
+Even so, we do not think a broad tactical short
+in emerging market currencies is appealing at this
+stage. Despite the small rally last year, emerging
+market currencies remain attractively valued (see
+Exhibit 76), particularly given their enticing 5%
+yield differential to the US dollar. Moreover, the
+new US administration may prove to be more
+measured in its actions than its rhetoric—a non-
+negligible risk that could revive sentiment and
+improve prospects for emerging market currencies.
+The Mexican peso, in particular, could benefit in
+that event.
+For now, we remain tactically positioned to
+benefit from further renminbi weakness given our
+long-standing concerns about China's economic
+vulnerabilities and the likelihood of looser policy,
+policy mistakes and capital outflows. The potential
+for US trade protectionism directed at China,
+though not our base case, would further benefit
+this position.
+2017 Global Fixed Income Outlook
+Last year witnessed a notable reversal of fortune
+for global interest rates. Despite reaching all-time
+closing lows shortly after the surprise Brexit vote,
+10-year yields in developed markets had reclaimed
+much-if not all-of those declines by year-end.
+In the US, a more than one percentage point swing
+was sufficient to turn the 10-year bond's 9% gain
+into a loss.
+While some have portrayed this reversal as
+just another setback in the now three-decade-old
+bond bull market, we are more skeptical. The
+policy mix that has depressed interest rates in
+the post-crisis period—a combination of fiscal
+austerity, negative or near-zero central bank policy
+rates and large-scale asset purchases-is losing
+favor, as even policymakers acknowledge the often
+counterproductive impact of these policies. At

+the same time, the recovery in commodity prices,

+expansionary fiscal policy are shifting the focus
+from deflation to reflation.
+This shift in perspective arrives at a time when
+the market's vulnerability to rising rates is the
+highest on record (see Exhibit 77). Losses from
+these long-duration positions in response to higher
+rates could beget more bond sales, creating a
+vicious cycle. That yields are still extremely low

+we believe the ascent of interest rates remains in
+its infancy.
+Still, it is important to differentiate between
+a normalization of interest rates and a disorderly
+backup. While we expect higher interest rates over
+the coming years, secular headwinds-like aging
+demographics and slower productivity growth—
+suggest the terminal point of that increase will be

+rate—the rate consistent with full employment and

+to 3% over recent years.

+to proceed slowly, particularly given

+Reserve were to raise rates three times in
+2017, that pace would still be less than

+by remaining overweight US corporate high yield
+credit versus investment grade fixed income and by
+funding various tactical tilts from their high-quality
+bond allocation. While most investment grade
+bonds may have uninspiring tactical prospects, we
+emphasize that investors should not completely
+abandon their bond allocation in search of higher
+yields. As the last several years have reminded
+us, investment grade fixed income serves a vital
+strategic role in the portfolio, due to its ability to
+hedge against deflation, reduce portfolio volatility
+and generate income.
+In the sections that follow, we review the
+specifics of each fixed income market.
+US Treasuries
+While 2016 began as a bumper year for US
+Treasuries, it ended in a rout. The yield on 10-year
+Treasury bonds, for example, reached an all-time
+low of just 1.36% by the middle of last year before
+jolting higher by more than one percentage point
+by year-end. As a result, investors' nearly double-
+digit gains devolved into a small loss. Even worse,
+the bulk of the rate increase occurred in just the
+last three months of 2016, generating a 7% loss for
+the quarter that has been exceeded less than 1% of
+the time historically since 1981.
+We expect rates to continue to increase, albeit
+at a slower pace in 2017, as many of the forces
+that have restrained yields are slowly fading.
+Inflation, in particular, has been a persistent drag,
+reflecting a toxic combination of excess labor slack
+that depressed wages, a strong dollar that lowered
+import prices and a significant decline in oil prices
+that weighed on breakeven inflation rates. But
+as we begin the eighth year of the US expansion,
+labor slack has been largely absorbed, evident in
+today's firming wages. Moreover, the impact of the
+dollar is diminishing as its pace of ascent slows,
+while the recovery in oil is boosting breakeven
+inflation rates.
+Other headwinds are also receding. The fiscal
+austerity among the advanced economies that
+has dampened economic growth and decreased
+sovereign bond issuance—both of which depress
+interest rates—is now reversing (see Exhibit 78).
+Indeed, US fiscal spending is expected to add
+0.3-0.5 percentage points to GDP growth in each
+of the next two years. 114
+At the same time, there is reduced demand

+Finally, the deleterious impact of depressed interest
+rates on banking sector profitability has raised the
+hurdle for global central banks to cut interest rates
+further and/or increase the scale of QE programs. In
+turn, market focus has shifted toward the eventual
+tapering of BOJ, ECB and BOE accommodation,
+which has helped lift bond term premiums and
+boosted long-term yields (see Exhibit 79).
+In light of these waning headwinds, the Federal
+Reserve is likely to hike two or three times in 2017,
+with upside risks from a larger-than-anticipated
+fiscal expansion. Combined with some further
+normalization in the term premium, we expect 10-
+year rates to increase to 2.50-3.00% by year-end.
+Given the balance of risks, we remain comfortable
+funding tactical tilts out of investment grade
+fixed income.
+Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS)
+TIPS fared better than nominal bonds in 2016,
+delivering a positive mid-single-digit return. Their
+outperformance was driven by the recovery in
+breakeven inflation rates, which began the year at
+very depressed levels consistent with only 1.5%
+annual inflation over the next 10 years-well
+below long-run forecasts (see Exhibit 80). In fact,

+were reflecting high odds of a deep recession over

+We think that breakeven inflation rates have
+further room to rise as the concerns that depressed
+them last year fade. First, oil prices are recovering,
+reversing the persistent drag they had exerted
+throughout much of early 2016. Second, wages are
+firming and fiscal policy is being eased, dampening
+deflation worries. Finally, recession odds are
+falling as the drag from oil weakness and dollar
+strength fades.
+With breakeven inflation rates still below long-
+term consensus forecasts and the Federal Reserve's
+target, we expect positive total returns from TIPS
+in 2017. Still, TIPS' absolute returns are likely to
+be modest, as their eight-year duration will make it
+difficult for coupon income to meaningfully exceed
+principal losses as rates rise. Moreover, given TIPS'
+unfavorable tax treatment (discussed at length
+in our 2011 Outlook), we continue to advise US
+clients with taxable accounts to use municipal
+bonds for their strategic allocation.

+increase, albeit at a slower pace in
+2017, as many of the forces that have
+restrained yields are slowly fading.
+US Municipal Bond Market
+Municipal bond holders were not immune from
+2016's about-face in US Treasury yields. Last
+October, municipal bonds were enjoying some of
+their best returns in years, only to be hit by losses
+arising from both rising interest rates and budding
+concerns about tax changes in the wake of the US
+presidential election. The abrupt redemptions of
+municipal bond mutual funds only exacerbated
+these losses, with the pace of outflows second only
+to the mid-2013 taper tantrum (see Exhibit 81).
+All told, municipal bonds suffered one of their
+worst years in recent history, with intermediate
+municipal bonds actually experiencing a rare loss
+(see Exhibit 82).
+Unfortunately, the near-term outlook remains
+challenging. As Exhibit 81 reminds us, mutual
+fund flows tend to be sticky in this asset class,
+with persistent periods of both buying and selling
+depending on the trajectory of interest rates. Based
+on historical episodes, there is scope for the current
+string of outflows to extend further.
+Moreover, clarity on tax policy will
+remain elusive for months, during which
+time headline risk will be significant.
+Even worse, a sizable reduction in the
+top individual tax rate for municipal
+bonds—if ultimately passed-could
+significantly shift the economics of
+owning them, leading to further sales.

+only add to existing concerns about pension
+funding levels.
+While there is clearly no shortage of risks, the
+silver lining to last year's rout is that we begin
+2017 with a much larger valuation buffer to help
+absorb them. As seen in Exhibit 83, the ratio
+of municipal yields to Treasury yields is above
+average for both 5- and 10-year maturities. In
+turn, investors can currently earn an extra 70
+basis points of after-tax yield by owning five-
+year municipal bonds instead of same-maturity
+Treasuries—a yield pickup more than double the
+post-crisis median of 31 basis points. Moreover,
+this incremental after-tax yield would still be
+around 50 basis points if the top individual tax on
+investment income were reduced by 10 percentage
+points-from 43.4% with the Affordable
+Care Act (ACA) tax to 33% under new policy
+recommendations. In short, municipal spreads
+currently offer a potential offset to rising rates and
+potential tax changes.
+Also keep in mind that municipal fundamentals
+remain stable. Major state and local tax revenues
+have continued to increase at a moderate 3% pace,
+which should be supported by the above-trend
+US economic growth and rising home prices we
+forecast. Meanwhile, governments have exercised
+restraint on capital spending. Consider that net
+issuance expectations of $30 billion for 2017 stand
+well below the pre-crisis 10-year annual average
+of $110 billion. l1s This restraint has not only kept

+municipal finances. Ratings trends have improved
+as a result of both stable revenue and spending
+discipline, with upgrades in the Moody's universe
+seeing a notable uptick in last year's third quarter
+(see Exhibit 84).
+Of course, underfunded long-term pension
+liabilities remain a source of concern. But with
+aggregate funding levels holding steady at around
+74%, we do not think this will be a primary focus
+in 2017, particularly given last year's increase in
+stock prices. While rising equity values will do
+little to remedy municipals' inadequate funding
+contributions, they will help increase the value
+of pension assets. Moreover, these medium-term
+concerns are not the primary driver of recent

+funding levels are no worse than they were in
+October of last year, a time when municipal bonds
+were enjoying some of their best returns ever.
+All told, we expect intermediate municipal

+The same can be said for high yield municipal
+bonds. Despite their almost 10-year duration, these
+bonds currently offer attractive spreads of close to
+3%, a level that has been higher only 29% of the
+time since 2000. This spread provides a substantial
+buffer that could partially offset higher Treasury
+yields, enabling the high yield municipal market

+the top annual returns of all time for the asset
+class. What makes this performance even more
+impressive is that high yield was down about 5%
+at its worst point in early 2016.
+But these sizable gains have come at a cost.
+Spreads-which compensate investors for the risk
+of default losses-now stand well below their long-
+term average. In fact, the level of spreads has been
+lower only a third of the time in the last 30 years.
+Moreover, yields have fallen from above 10%
+early last year to less than 7% now, diminishing
+the allure of these bonds to investors searching for
+high returns.
+Even so, we think the strong fundamentals
+underpinning the asset class still warrant an
+overweight, though returns are almost certain to
+be more modest going forward. At the heart of
+this stance is our benign view on default losses,

+Here, several factors support our below-historical-
+average 2.5% par-weighted default
+forecast for 2017.

+a staggering 85% of last year's defaults-are
+recovering along with oil prices. Keep in mind
+that the par-weighted default rate excluding

+risk, given that less than 10% of existing debt
+matures in the next two years. Of equal importance,
+interest coverage stands near all-time highs today,
+in stark contrast to the period preceding the
+financial crisis (see Exhibit 87). This point is further
+illustrated by Exhibit 88, which shows that today's
+high yield universe is much healthier than the pre-
+crisis cohort, regardless of measure. Keep in mind
+that low-rated CCC bonds represented just 8% of
+high yield issuance last year, a 14-year low. 118
+We also note that high yield may be a better
+interest rate hedge than many investors realize.
+Consider that during unexpected interest rate
+backups in the past, high yield has generated a
+positive return 69% of the time and a return that
+exceeded investment grade fixed income 85%
+of the time (see Exhibit 89). This last point is
+important, as our high yield overweight is funded
+out of investment grade fixed income.
+High yield's hedging qualities were
+apparent last year, as the asset class
+appreciated nearly 7% in the second
+half of the year despite an increase in
+Treasury yields of more than 100 basis
+points. Although we assume that any
+further increase in 10-year Treasury
+rates this year will not be offset by high
+yield spreads, this historical relationship
+suggests that may be overly conservative.

+Of course, a more constructive view of high
+yield fundamentals does not necessarily suggest
+robust returns. In high yield bonds, today's below-
+average spreads already reflect our subdued default
+expectations and are less likely to offset any further
+increase in rates. We thus expect returns of around
+4% in the year ahead. Although high yield energy
+is likely to generate similar gains, the potential
+upside is more significant given wider starting
+spreads and the potential for distressed bonds to
+pull to par amid higher oil prices. Finally, with a
+5% return, bank loans should perform marginally
+better than bonds, reflecting their attractive
+0.25-year duration and continued investor demand
+for floating rates—a feature that is back in vogue
+now that 3-month LIBOR is almost above the
+1% LIBOR floor that more than 90% of bank
+loans possess.
+While these returns may pale in comparison to
+those of last year, they remain attractive relative to
+investment grade fixed income, where we expect
+rising rates to generate lower returns. Even if rates
+stagnate while US growth remains positive, the
+default-adjusted return in high yield should still
+trump high-quality bonds. Said differently, US
+corporate high yield credit remains a better house
+in a bad fixed income neighborhood, supporting

+further rate cuts and lowered the deposit rate to
+-0.40%. Second, it increased the size of its asset
+purchase program from €60 billion to €80 billion
+per month, effectively buying more Eurozone
+bonds each year than are actually issued (see
+Exhibit 90). Finally, it continued to limit its buying
+to bonds with yields above the deposit rate,
+which concentrated its purchases toward long-
+maturity bonds.
+These measures created an extreme scarcity
+effect in long-term German bunds, as investors
+scrambled to buy today for fear of even lower
+interest rates tomorrow. In response, German
+10-year rates fell to an all-time low of -18 basis
+points in July of 2016. During these same summer
+months, all German government bonds with less
+than a 15-year maturity offered negative yields.
+However, monetary policy does not operate in
+a vacuum. With negative interest rates impairing
+the profitability of the European banking system,
+the ECB has already begun to alter its policy mix.
+At its December 2016 meeting, the ECB reversed
+the increase in asset purchases mentioned above,
+targeting €60 billion per month for the upcoming
+March-December 2017 period. Moreover, it lifted
+the restriction on purchasing bonds with yields
+below the deposit rate, alleviating the scarcity
+premium attached to long-maturity bonds meeting
+this criterion. While these adjustments are well
+short of QE "tapering," they have shifted the
+market focus toward the eventual end of asset
+purchases and the timing of the first ECB rate
+hike-currently priced for late 2018.
+With less ECB policy pressure on long-maturity
+bonds, coupled with continued above-trend
+Eurozone growth and some further normalization
+in global term premiums, we expect 10-year bund
+yields to increase to 0.5-1.0% by the end of 2017.
+While overall peripheral bond spreads should be
+mostly range-bound in 2017, political woes in
+Italy and France pose upside risks to the spreads of
+those countries.
+In the UK, we expect gilt yields to reach 1.5-
+2.25%. Here, persistently high headline inflation
+induced by the depreciation of sterling and a
+less-than-feared economic drag from Brexit thus
+far could encourage the BOE to unwind a portion
+of the preemptive easing it deployed in response to
+the surprise referendum outcome.

+German 10-year bund yields generates a capital
+loss sufficient to offset an entire year of income.
+That said, we should not confuse an underweight
+with a zero weighting, as European clients should
+retain some exposure to German bunds and other
+high-quality Eurozone bonds in the "sleep-well"
+portion of their portfolios. These high-quality
+bonds would provide an attractive hedge in the
+event of a Eurozone recession or the return of

+Emerging Market Local Debt
+Last year's 10% return for emerging market local

+have suffered through nearly three years of losses
+totaling more than 30%. But investors had to
+endure considerable volatility to realize this gain,
+as returns fluctuated between -4% and +18% in
+2016. In fact, the asset class lost roughly 5% in just

+This last point is important, since many of the
+tailwinds that drove EMLD's strong returns in the
+first half of 2016 reversed toward year-end and are
+likely to impact the asset class again in 2017. Here,
+we refer specifically to the resumption of Federal

+represent a headwind this year (see Exhibit
+91). Meanwhile, any boost to emerging market
+exports from the modest pickup in global growth
+we expect is likely to be dwarfed by ongoing US
+trade policy uncertainty, European political risk
+and China fears. Lastly, an acceleration of recent
+outflows from EMLD markets could magnify these
+risks, particularly since 60% of the cumulative
+inflows into the asset class since 2004 are
+experiencing losses at current market levels.
+Although the number of concerns is large, so is
+the risk premium of the asset class. As previously
+seen in Exhibit 76, the currencies in the EMLD
+index are 15% undervalued. From this starting
+point, the asset class could deliver attractive total
+returns if US trade policy proves to be more benign
+than feared and China worries abate.
+Considering this balance of risks, our central
+case calls for low single-digit returns. While
+positive, this return is not sufficient to justify
+a tactical long position in EMLD in our view,
+given the still considerable downside risks
+discussed above.
+Emerging Market Dollar Debt
+Emerging market dollar debt (EMD) returned 10%
+in 2016, capping a surprising four-year period
+of outperformance that has greatly benefited
+from stable US rates and dollar strength. But the
+prospects for a fifth year of upside are questionable
+for several reasons.

+First, EMD's almost seven-year duration is
+a liability in a rising-rate environment. This is
+particularly true now that the Federal Reserve
+has resumed tightening policy, a fact evident in
+EMD's 4.3% drop in response to increasing rate
+hike expectations late last year. Second, with
+spreads standing near two-year lows, there is scope
+for spread widening based on US and European
+policy uncertainty and renewed China growth
+fears. Third, countries accounting for 37% of
+EMD-including Mexico, China, South Africa
+and Brazil-have negative outlooks from at least
+two rating agencies, raising the potential for
+downgrades. 119 A potential default by Venezuela
+and its national oil company could also sour
+sentiment, as could unfavorable tariffs or trade
+restrictions from the new US administration.
+Finally, the backup in interest rates we expect
+could raise funding costs for EM corporate issuers,
+which could also heighten concerns about spillover
+into EMD. Indeed, a recent stress test by Standard
+& Poor's revealed that EM corporate borrowers—
+who must repay $200 billion per year through
+2020120—are twice as susceptible to downgrades
+as US corporates if dollar funding costs rise by
+a third. 121
+Based on the above, we do not recommend a
+tactical position in EMD at this time.

+2017 Global Commodity Outlook
+After losing more than half its value in the span
+of two years, the S&P GSCI broke its downward
+trend with an 11% gain in 2016, its first double-
+digit return since 2009 (see Exhibit 92). The
+rebound in oil prices was a key contributor, as oil
+finished the year with a staggering 52% spot price
+gain—an outcome made all the more remarkable
+by the fact that oil was down 25% at its worst
+point early last year. This strength was not limited
+to the oil patch, as industrial metals rallied 17%
+on average and precious metals advanced 8% (see
+Exhibit 93).
+Despite last year's broad-based gains, we are
+more circumspect about the outlook for 2017.
+While we expect oil to advance, it begins the
+year closer to the midpoint of our target range,

+suggest the transition toward a balanced market is
+underway. The same could be said for the dramatic
+cuts in US drilling budgets, which have precipitated
+notable declines in US shale output (see Exhibit
+94). Lower oil prices have also supported above-
+average global demand growth, helping to absorb
+excess inventories. Lastly, OPEC agreed to
+lower production in November 2016, while also
+securing a promise from its significant non-OPEC
+counterparts to do the same. Taken together, these
+developments support our forecast for moderately
+higher oil prices in 2017.
+This balancing act is still precarious, however.
+Oil inventories stand well above seasonal averages,
+so failure to honor the announced production
+cuts could delay the recovery in oil prices or, even
+worse, cause renewed declines. The risk of poor
+compliance is not trivial, given that producers
+have exceeded their quota 90% of the time by an
+average of 1 million barrels per day (mmbd) since
+2000 (see Exhibit 95). The pledges from Russia
+and certain smaller non-OPEC producers are
+particularly suspect, as similar promises to cut their

+own output along with OPEC have been broken
+in the past.
+Moreover, while the announced cuts are
+significant-the OPEC agreement would reduce
+production by up to 1.2 mmbd, equivalent to
+about one year of average global demand growth—
+they are largely a reversal of production growth
+seen over the last six months (see Exhibit 96).
+Meanwhile, Libya and Nigeria were excluded from
+these new OPEC quotas given sizable domestic
+disruptions that have depressed their production.
+Recent signs of improvement, however, suggest a
+rebound in their production cannot be dismissed.
+Therefore, the announced cuts are not a panacea to
+the current oil imbalance, particularly if US shale
+output increases meaningfully in response.
+This last point is important, as US shale
+accounted for 60% of global production growth
+between 2012 and 2015 despite representing
+less than 5% of the total output. Although US
+production is now declining, two factors may
+arrest its slide in 2017. First, the breakeven price
+for shale drilling has fallen to an average of $50
+per barrel, reflecting a 20% decline in
+production costs and improvements to
+the shale model, including faster drilling,
+larger wells and better resource recovery.

+The same could be said of continued outflows

+estimate that a net 280 tonnes of gold ETF
+holdings—an amount even larger than the 210
+tonnes of ETF outflows that pressured gold prices
+in late 2016—were purchased over the past year
+at levels above today's price. Absent a rebound
+in gold prices, these ETF holders might prefer to

+a yield component. Value-minded investors should
+also consider that gold prices remains well above

+Despite this challenging outlook, a number

+Moreover, the stronger global growth we expect
+could lift jewelry demand, particularly in gold's

+gold's allure as an inflation hedge could come back

+2017 OUTLOOK |
+In Closing
+WE DO NOT BELIEVE THE COMING YEAR WILL BRING AN END
+to the prolonged run of positive performance for either the
+US economy or the bull market for equities. Despite greater
+uncertainties, including those tied to a new US administration,
+the policy backdrop in the US will likely prove particularly
+favorable for the economy, with looser fiscal policy, still easy
+monetary policy and a lighter regulatory burden. As these
+factors diminish the probability of recession in 2017, they
+also support the case for clients remaining invested in global
+equities at their strategic allocation. We believe US equity
+gains are likely to be modest but still more attractive than the
+comparable returns of investment alternatives such as cash
+and bonds. And, as last year demonstrated, US equities often
+surprise to the upside.
+While we see the glass as half-full, there is no shortage of
+risks-some of which have high probability and uncertain
+impact for the year ahead-—that could cause our forecasts for
+the economy and asset class returns to miss the mark.
+As always, we will adjust and communicate our views
+accordingly should the economic, financial or geopolitical
+backdrop change materially over the course of 2017.

+Throughout the text, "post-
+WWII cycles" refers to
+expansions beginning in 02
+1954. We exclude two prior
+expansions, beginning in 04
+1945 and Q4 1949, to ensure
+consistent data across al
+variables used to analyze
+the duration and strength
+of recoveries (some data
+series are only available since
+1950) as well as to avoid
+contaminating summary
+statistics given idiosyncratic
+economic policies that followed
+the end of WWII (such as the
+sharp reduction in military
+spending or the Gl Bill). Our
+takeaway from the analysis
+would not change if 1945
+and 1949 were included for
+the series for which data is
+available.

+Investment Risks. Risks vary by
+the type of investment. For example,
+investments that involve futures, equity
+swaps, and other derivatives, as well
+as non-investment grade securities.
+give rise to substantial risk and are not
+available to or suitable for all investors.
+We have described some of the risks
+associated with certain investments
+below. Additional information regarding
+risks may be available in the materials
+provided in connection with specific
+investments. You should not enter into
+a transaction or make an investment
+unless you understand the terms of
+the transaction or investment and the
+nature and extent of the associated
+risks. You should also be satisfied that
+the investment is appropriate for you in
+light of your circumstances and financial
+condition.
+Altemative Investments. Alternative
+investments may involve a substantial
+degree of risk, including the risk of total
+loss of an investor's capital and the use
+of leverage, and therefore may not be
+appropriate for all investors. Private
+equity, private real estate, hedge funds
+and other alternative investments
+funds are subject to less regulation
+than other types of pooled vehicles
+and liquidity may be limited. Investors
+in private investment funds should
+review the Offering Memorandum,
+the Subscription Agreement and any
+other applicable disclosures for risks
+and potential conflicts of interest.
+Terms and conditions governing private
+applicable offering documents, which
+also include information regarding the
+liquidity of such investments, which may
+Commodities. Commodity investments
+may be less liquid and more volatile than
+other investments. The risk of loss in
+trading commodities can be substantial
+due, but not limited to, volatile political,
+market and economic conditions. An
+investor's returns may change radically
+at any time since commodities are
+subject, by nature, to abrupt changes
+in price. Commodity prices are volatile
+because they respond to many
+unpredictable factors including weather,
+labor strikes, inflation, foreign exchange
+rates, etc. In an individual account,
+because your position is leveraged, a
+small move against your position may
+result in a large loss. Losses may be
+larger than your initial deposit. Investors
+should carefully consider the inherent
+risk of such an investment in light of
+their experience, objectives, financial
+resources and other circumstances. No
+representation is made regarding the
+suitability of commodity investments.
+Currencies. Currency exchange rates
+can be extremely volatile, particularly
+during times of political or economic
+uncertainty. There is a risk of loss when
+an investor as exposure to foreign
+currency or are in foreign currency
+traded investments.
+Emerging Markets and Growth Markets.
+Investing in the securities of issuers in
+emerging markets and growth markets
+involves certain considerations,
+including: political and economic
+conditions, the potential difficulty
+of repatriating funds or enforcing
+contractual or other legal rights, and
+the small size of the securities markets
+in such countries coupled with a low
+volume of trading, resulting in potential
+lack of liquidity and in price volatility.
+Equity Investments. Equity investments
+are subject to market risk, which means
+that the value of the securities may go
+up or down in respect to the prospects
+of individual companies, particular
+industry sectors and/or general
+economic conditions. The securities of
+small and mid-capitalization companies
+involve greater risks than those
+associated with larger, more established
+companies and may be subject to more
+abrupt or erratic price movements.
+Fixed Income. Investments in fixed
+income securities are subject to the
+risks associated with debt securities
+generally, including credit/default,
+liquidity and interest rate risk. Any
+guarantee on an investment grade bond
+of a given country applies only if held
+to maturity.
+Non-US Securities. Investing in non-US
+securities involves the risk of loss
+as a result of more or less non-US
+government regulation, less public
+information, less liquidity and greater
+volatility in the countries of domicile
+of the issuers of the securities and
+or the jurisdiction in which these
+securities are traded. In addition,
+investors in securities such as ADRs/
+GDRs, whose values are influenced by
+foreign currencies, effectively assume
+Tactical Tilts. Tactical tilts may involve
+a high degree of risk. No assurance can
+be made that profits will be achieved
+or that substantial losses will not be
+incurred. Prior to investing, investors
+must determine whether a particular
+tactical tilt is suitable for them.
+Tax Information. Goldman Sachs does
+not provide legal, tax or accounting
+advice. You should obtain your own
+independent tax advice based on your
+particular circumstances.

+Top 10 US Ideas Quarterly
+Q1 Top 10 Ideas
+Strategy
+Top 10 US Ideas - 1Q17
+The backdrop for risk assets has changed dramatically over the past year. As Michael
+Hartnett pointed out, 2016 saw global interest rates fall to 5,000-year lows and the
+likely end of what has been the greatest bull market in bonds ever. We experienced a
+historic US Presidential election and Republican sweep of Congress on November 9th.
+Later that same month, OPEC reached a historic deal to reduce crude production by
+1.2mn b/d with non-OPEC producers delivering an additional 600k b/d of cuts - the first
+such joint curb since 1998. Risk assets responded with 30-year Treasury reaching a
+yield of 2.088% in July, US equity markets reaching all-time highs, and oil prices rallying
+more than 40% since the start of the year. Given the Republican sweep - and the
+resulting likelihood that the logjam of Washington gridlock will be broken - our Top 10
+stock selections are more heavily geared toward companies that may benefit from
+increased fiscal stimulus, a more pro-business agenda, and/or tax-policy reform. Our
+current strategy stands in stark contrast to our stance last year of looking for defensive
+growth ideas.
+Eight Buys and two Underperforms
+Our 1Q17 list includes eight Buys and two Underperforms across six sectors. Our Buys
+are Aetna Inc, Dover Corp, General Dynamics, Hess, MGM Resorts, Norfolk Southern, SVB
+Financial, and Texas Instruments. Our Underperforms are Consolidated Edison, and
+TripAdvisor.
+How the list will be maintained and updated
+We will publish this list at the beginning of each quarter. Ideas will generally remain on
+the list through the quarter unless coverage is dropped or the recommendation changes.
+Any security which is removed will not be replaced. If there are any changes to the list
+during the quarter we will publish the change in a research report. Securities are
+intended to stay on the list for one quarter, though some may be chosen for the next
+quarter's list. We will publish performance quarterly

+Top 10 US Ideas Quarterly
+Our Top 10 US Ideas are based on our view that these companies could have the most
+significant market and business related catalysts over the next three months. The list
+reflects primarily a bottoms-up approach, with calendar-specific events noted for most
+stocks. We constructed our list by canvassing BofAML Fundamental Equity Research
+analysts in order to find 10 BofAML-covered stocks which we think will significantly
+outperform or underperform peers during the quarter. We considered only Buy-rated
+names for outperform ideas and Underperform-rated names for underperform ideas. We
+then narrowed the list after consulting our Equity Research colleagues.
+To be eligible for the list, the stock must be covered by BofA Merrill Lynch AMRS
+fundamental equity analysts with a rating of Buy or Underperform, for long and short
+stock recommendations, respectively.
+Stocks will be chosen on a discretionary basis by the Alpha Generation team, which
+currently includes strategists with experience choosing stocks for BofAML's US 1 list.
+Stocks will be chosen for the list using a bottoms-up approach after taking into account
+the views of the relevant BofA Merrill Lynch Fundamental Equity analyst and upcoming
+catalysts. Diversity of the list and BofAML macro views will also be factors in choosing
+stocks for the list.
+Stocks on the list will generally remain on the list during the quarter. However, a stock
+will be removed interim quarter if considered ineligible due to a change in the stock's
+fundamental rating, or if the stock is no long covered by BofA Merrill Lynch fundamental
+Equity Research. When stocks are removed during the quarter, they will not be replaced.
+Stocks will generally be removed from the list at the end of the quarter in conjunction
+with the publication of the next quarter's list, but may on select occasions remain on the
+list if the identified catalyst remains relevant or a new catalyst is expected to drive the
+requisite over/under performance. Any intra-quarter actions to the list will be announced
+in a research report.
+The Top 10 list will be published on or close to the first day of each quarter. In addition,
+we may also publish research reports updating the catalysts' status or other news on
+particular stocks during the quarter.
+How the list will be maintained and updated
+We will publish this list at the beginning of each quarter. Ideas will generally remain on
+the list through the quarter unless coverage is dropped or the recommendation changes.
+Any security which is removed will not be replaced. If there are any changes to the list
+during the quarter we will promptly publish a note explaining the change. Securities are
+intended to stay on the list for one quarter, though some may be chosen again for the
+next quarter's list.

+Research Analyst, MLPF&S
+Buy, PO $149
+1Q investment thesis
+Based on past precedence, our view is that the AET/HUM deal is more likely than not to
+be approved by the courts (ruling likely to come in January 2017). PF 2018 earnings
+should be close to $11.50 (vs $9.70 consensus), even before taking into account the
+upside from tax reform (+15% to EPS) and rising interest rates (+5%). In the event that
+the deal breaks, we see little downside and potential upside in 1Q17 in the form of
+capital deployment (AET remains underlevered and in the absence of a deal could look to
+aggressively repurchase stock). Current estimates do not include share repurchase and
+based on its history of repurchasing shares using free cash flow and its balance sheet
+capacity, we expect AET to repurchase a significant amount (~10%) of its shares in
+2017 post deal break, providing initial downside support and ultimately driving upside to
+Street estimates.

+Deregulation/Gov't Legislation: Repeal and Replace of the ACA creates some
+uncertainty, but neither AET nor HUM derive a significant amount of EPS from the ACA.
+Meanwhile, Republicans have historically supported Medicare Advantage (80% of HUM'S
+revenue), and we expect a stronger rate environment under this Administration than
+over the past 8 years.
+Tax Policy: As a domestic only company with a relatively high tax rate (est. 35% in
+2017), AET would benefit from tax reform. We believe that some benefit would be lost
+to minimum MLR rebates or competition, but if taxes are lowered 15%, then we assume
+that they keep about 2/3 of the benefit (19% to EPS).
+Catalysts: Deal resolution, capital allocation update, tax reform, rising interest rates.
+Latest report: MCO rally has just begun; beneficiaries of the non-Health
+Care upside from Trump
+1Q risks: Risks to the downside are courts not approving the HUM acquisition, lower-
+than-expected membership growth and higher than expected cost trend. CMS will issue
+the rate update for 2018 for Medicare Advantage in late February, a reg which we
+expect to be benign, but which could be worse than expected.
+Company Description: Aetna is one of the nation's largest managed care organizations,

++1 646 855 1817
+Research Analyst, MLPF&S
+Buy, PO $85
+1Q investment thesis
+We think the Street is underestimating '17 EPS upside potential from Energy recovery
+given the segment's close correlation to N.A. rig count and short-cycle nature of the
+business, as well as incremental accretion from Wayne acquisition. DOV is expected to
+host an analyst dinner on January 12th which will provide a 4Q update and preview 2017
+results. We think the meeting will be a positive catalyst for the stock, providing more
+visibility on Energy orders post-OPEC meeting, highlighting sustainability of the EMV
+cycle in Wayne into '19. Investors will also likely get an update on execution turnaround
+in the Refrigeration business, removing one of the biggest overhangs on the stock.

+Deregulation/Gov't Legislation:
+We expect Trump's administration to prioritize US energy independence, with
+deregulation benefiting domestic shale produces, which should be an attractive tailwind
+to DOV's Energy segment.
+Tax Policy:
+Our estimates are based on 29% tax rate in '17/18. We calculate that under Ryan's
+proposed plan, we can see about 19% upside to EPS. We estimate that under Trump's
+proposed plan, we can see about 24% upside to EPS.
+Catalysts:
+January 12th - investor dinner with management
+January 26th - 4Q results
+Rig count release
+Latest report: Dover Corp: Adjusting for Wayne, EMV cycle extension; Rig
+count going up, LIl read-across
+1Q risks: With so much of DOV's EPS upside tied to Energy segment recovery, we view
+oil price volatility (from stronger US$ or other unexpected macro headlines) as the
+biggest risk to our thesis. Weaker-than-expected execution in Refrigeration or Fluid
+business would be another risk, offsetting Energy upside.

+Buy, PO $200
+1Q investment thesis
+General Dynamics is a defensive large cap value stock with potential cyclical growth.
+The company has a history of annual dividend increases with a dividend yield of 1.7%.
+Concerns about weakening demand for Gulfstream business jets in General Dynamic's
+Aerospace segment have weighed down sentiment. However, using a sum-of-the-parts
+analysis that values GD's defense businesses in line with the pure play defense average,
+this would imply that GD's Aerospace segment is trading at a significant discount to the
+market at 12x P/E multiple on 2018E earnings. Considering the strength in Gulfstream's
+product portfolio and margin performance, we would expect Aerospace to trade at least
+at 18x P/E multiple on 2018E earnings.

+Gov't Legislation: 56% of sales are from the US government
+General Dynamics' primary customer is the US Department of Defense, which accounted
+for 47% of total sales in 2015. The remaining 9% are to other non-DoD US government
+agencies like the intelligence community. For the military, which is a defensive sector,
+GD is engaged in engineering, manufacturing, and support of land and expeditionary
+combat vehicles and systems, armaments, munitions, and shipbuilding and marine
+systems. Major products include Virginia-class nuclear-powered submarine and Ohio
+class ballistic nuclear submarine replacement, Arleigh Burke-class Aegis destroyer,
+Abrams M1A2 tank, Stryker 8-wheeled assault vehicle, medium-caliber munitions and
+gun systems, tactical and strategic mission systems. The company also provides
+information systems and technologies.
+Disruptor: Gulfstream G650 has unrivaled performance in the most profitable
+business jet market segment
+There is no direct competitor aircraft currently in service in the market to match the
+performance of the Gulfstream G650/650ER. The G650ER has a range of 7,500 nautical
+miles at Mach 0.85, but can fly faster at Mach 0.90 with a range of 6,400 nautical miles.
+The Dassault Falcon 8X has a range of only 6,450 nautical miles. Meanwhile,
+Bombardier's response to the G650 has been delayed another year with the entry into
+service of the Global 7000 (range of 7,300 nautical miles) in 2H18. Gulfstream book-to-
+bill in 3Q16 was 1:1 on a dollar value basis and 1.2:1 on an aircraft unit basis. In our
+view, market share gains in a soft demand environment could provide Gulfstream a solid
+foundation to bridge the Gulfstream G450/550 to the G500/600.

+Catalysts: Stable Aerospace earnings & US defense spending
+Operating weakness for Bombardier's Global family, which competes with the
+Gulfstream family, has weighed down investor sentiment for large cabin business jets
+and General Dynamics. However, Gulfstream's more conservative production rates,
+attractive product positioning, higher quality backlog, and better operating performance
+compared to Bombardier lower Gulfstream's near- and medium-term earnings risks, in
+our view. The key catalyst for General Dynamics is the upcoming earnings result that
+demonstrates how EBIT in the Aerospace segment remains stable despite a more tepid
+market outlook from Bombardier.
+We continue to view GD as a beneficiary of positive inflection in US defense spending.
+We expect the recent Republican victory in the White House and the Senate to be seen
+as incrementally positive for defense. Political control is a key driver of defense
+spending, and defense stock valuations are tied to changes in defense spending related
+to the modernization accounts. Our Political Control Model (PCM) analysis highlights a
+Republican President and Republican Senate is the best case for Budget Authority in
+defense modernization accounts. Our PCM analysis suggests that the Republican sweep
+could increase the Budget Authority for defense investment accounts by a CAGR of 12-
+13% (FY17E-21E). This compares to the BofAML forecast of a 5% CAGR and the FY17
+Green Book forecast of a 1% CAGR.
+Additionally, GD's Marine Systems segment is a direct beneficiary of the US pivot to the
+Pacific. The Pacific is a hotbed of maritime activity particularly as China expands its
+territorial waters. As the US focus on naval superiority strengthens, we might see upside
+to shipbuilding spending.
+Latest report: General Dynamics: Gulfstream still undervalued; raise PO to
+$200 and reiterate Buy 30 November 2016
+1Q risks: large cabin business jets market deterioration and US defense spending
+There is risk of market deterioration in large cabin business jets that could increase
+earnings risks for Gulfstream. Additionally, delays in government contracting or lower
+than expected increase in US defense spending could provide downside risks to our
+estimates.

+Not your grandmothers ConEd - increasing complexity changes investment story
+ConEd is facing very slow growth electric demand growth in its utilities with 0.2% y/y
+growth in its CECONY subsidiary through 20201 and -0.1% growth in its O&R
+subsidiary. To offset this slow growth, ConEd has been increasing the complexity of its
+business by purchasing gas and electric transmission assets which have higher growth
+potential but face more market risk (most notably the JV with Crestwood in the
+Stagecoach midstream pipeline system). Furthermore, the regulatory regime in New
+York is undergoing a fundamental shift as the Reforming Energy Vision (REV) program is
+implemented. REV seeks to fundamentally change how utilities are compensated by
+creating more of a 'platform' for energy delivery. Slow growth, changing business mix,
+and new regulatory constructs add considerable risk to what used to be a "go to" vanilla
+regulated utility.
+An overvalued Sector and Potential Catalysts
+For a long time, ConEd was viewed as the quintessential utility and, during the run-up in
+Utility valuations in 2016 its shares outperformed despite its weakening fundamentals.
+As the story becomes more complex and the utility sector adjusts to lower valuation we
+would expect ED to underperform with a similar symmetry to other utility stocks.

+1Q17 investment thesis
+Broad expectations of a pro-energy agenda from the incoming administration set a
+theoretically constructive backdrop for the US oils. Along with the tailwind from
+renewed OPEC support for oil prices, we view the broader energy sector as a
+momentum play in the early part of 2017 where stock specific catalysts can re-emerge
+to differentiate relative performance within the large cap US oils. We view Hess as the
+most catalyst rich large cap US E&P for 2017 with a return to growth and
+disproportionate exploration risk from a company with the highest cash margins in the
+sector, second best balance sheet and significant oil leverage to our base case that is an
+oil recovery in 2017. Hess remains amongst our top ideas in the US large cap oil sector
+for 2017, and we retain our Buy rating, and $80 PO.

+While the potential for a less onerous regulatory backdrop, and greater access to Federal
+lands for exploration and development, the majority of current activity remains
+dominated by private lands thereby limiting any material changes arising from a
+Republican administration. The exception is the potential for more receptive backdrop
+for infrastructure development that can improve regional pricing through improved
+access to takeaway capacity.
+Tax Policy:
+For the majority of the US E&P's, changes in corporate tax rates have negligible impact
+given that substantial net operating losses and deferred tax credits means that cash
+taxes remain de minimis for the foreseeable future.
+Catalysts:
+News flow starts with an expected capex budget unchanged from 2016 at ~$2bn, the
+company has stated it expects a return to drilling in the Bakken with a stated ramp up to
+6 rigs from 2 currently returning the play to growth in 2017. The first Guyana

+1Q investment thesis
+MGM is a levered play to improving/accelerating US economic growth. The US makes up
+80% of EBITDA (70% Vegas, 20% Macau, 10% US regional) and the company has 4-5x
+net debt/EBITDA which is high, but coming down to under 4x by end of 2017 which
+could allow for a possible upgrade to investment grade by the end of 2017 or early
+2018.
+MGM has high operating leverage (50%+ flow through of revenues) and should benefit
+from any macroeconomic improvement as well as already healthy/strong Las Vegas
+fundamentals (visitation +3% YTD, RevPAR +6% which is one of best hotel markets in
+the US). MGM benefits from both consumer (80%) and business (20%) travel. There is
+zero supply growth in Las Vegas the next 2-3 years and virtually no Airbb/disruption
+risk as staying at integrated casino resorts on the Strip is key to the experience.
+MGM should see accelerating growth in 2017 to a very high +24% Y/Y on an organic
+asis. We think this is some of the highest growth we will see in the Gaming, Lodging &
+Leisure industries. MGM should also see a meaningful free cash flow inflection in 201;
+as capex falls off dramatically after its 2 new property openings in Washington DC and
+Cotai/Macau.

+Deregulation/Gov't Legislation: There aren't any clear/obvious changes here that
+would impact MGM. As a labor intensive business, changes to overtime rules or the

+Tax Policy: MGM will be a cash tax payer in 2017. Tax policy should be mixed. While
+they get some meaningful interest shield from their decent amount of debt, they also
+have relatively high capex that could benefit them if expensed as incurred. Import tariffs
+should be limited in impact as it's mostly a domestic, services based business with

+Deregulation/Gov't Legislation:
+The Surface Transportation Board, an independent governing body, formerly under the
+Department of Transportation, is set for a significant turnover, with a Republican taking
+control of the chairmanship, and 2 new members being added to the 5-person Board (up
+to this year the STB was a 3 member Board). The potential for negative impacts from
+mandatory open access and rate of return calculation adjustments may be reduced given
+the change of administration, which would be a positive for the railroad group.
+Tax Policy:
+Given their domestic focus, Transportation companies are the highest effective tax
+payers in the Industrial and Basic Materials group, with the U.S.-based railroads
+averaging a 37% effective tax rate. At a 20% tax-rate, EPS would jump nearly 30%
+(though full capex expensing could reduce EBIT to offset a sizeable portion of the gain).
+Additionally, cross-border tax increasing cost of goods sold for manufacturing goods
+could slow GDP, impacting carload growth over time.
+Catalysts:
+Near term catalysts include accelerating carload growth, coal turning positive for the rail
+industry this week, after 90 consecutive down weeks, and NS's upcoming January
+promise for additional details on its targeted efficiency gains. The company is set to
+post a sub-70% operating ratio for only the 2d time in the past 20 years, a target we

+1Q risks: Norfolk Southern has posted 9 consecutive weeks of carload growth,

+includes carload growth slowing or turning back negative, as well as increased concern
+on macro GDP growth rates given fear about new fiscal policies (cross-border tax, full

+efficiency gain details in January is not provided as expected, investors could lose

+In the aftermath of the US election in November, we think Texas Instruments stands to
+benefit the most with its 30% effective tax rate and high exposure to industrial,
+automotive, automation, and communications capex. The company has been one of the
+largest share gainers in industrial/auto semis entering a seasonally strong period for
+spending. Unlike peers, Texas instruments has no distraction from M&A while
+maintaining a grossly under-levered balance sheet (<0.1x net debt/EBITDA vs comps at
+2x-4x). We expect TXN to continue to generate industry leading FCF while growing its
+dividend at 20%+ CAGR. We look toward the strategy update call in early February as
+the next catalyst for the stock.

+see the most uplift in spending from any potentially large fiscal stimulus and

+Tax Policy: Unlike most semis, TXN reports its financials on a pure GAAP basis and its
+tax rate at 30% is one of the highest in the industry. We think TXN stands to
+disproportionately benefit from the looser tax policies foreshadowed by the upcoming
+administration. Specifically, a 10% drop in the corporate tax rate would lead to 15%
+higher EPS for TXN in 2017, all else equal.

+Tax Policy: TRIP has a ~25% tax rate. Trump's tax plan calls for a reduction in the
+business tax rate from 35% to 15%, with elimination of most corporate tax
+deductions/credits (except for the R&D credit). While it's unclear what elements of the
+tax plan will eventually be executed, Trump's intent is clear and we believe companies
+with the highest tax rate have the most to gain. We see less incremental benefit to
+many of the global companies who already enjoy optimized tax rates (22% average tax
+rate across our coverage), but many companies will have more incentive to bring back
+Intl profits for buybacks with lower US tax rates.
+Catalysts: 4Q'16 Earnings (early February) will feature initial 2017 guidance. TripAdvisor
+noted on the 3Q'16 earnings call that 2017 EBITDA margin will decline further from
+2016 levels as ad spend ticks up to re-accelerate growth, however it is unclear how
+much margin deterioration TripAdvisor will guide to. We think the deterioration in the
+guide will be higher than the Street's expectations, driving further downside estimate
+revisions.
+Latest report: TripAdvisor: 2017 PM Level Outlook
+1Q risks: There is downside risk to Street estimates if hotel shopper growth comes in
+below expectations, mobile monetization gap widens, and if initial 2017 guidance
+disappoints. We remain cautious on IB as an attempt to solve a very large problem: the
+continued transition of users consuming TripAdvisor's content on their mobile phones
+instead of their desktops. On mobile phones, users are much less likely to transact or
+click on an ad than on desktops.
+A risk to the short thesis: There has been frequent speculation in the press that
+TripAdvisor may be a takeout candidate in the rapidly consolidating online travel market,
+with Priceline frequently named as the likely suitor.
+Company Description: TripAdvisor is the largest global online travel media company
+with over millions of members and hundreds of millions of user reviews. The company's
+portfolio of web properties attracts over 300 million unique visitors per month
+worldwide.
+Price objective basis & risk
+Aetna Inc (AET)
+Our Price Objective of $149 is based on a 50/50 blend of our standalone AET valuation
+($138, 13.1x 2018E EPS of $10.50 when including share repurchase) and AET pro forma
+HUM valuation ($160, 14x 2018E EPS of $11.40). Our AET standalone valuation multiole
+reflects AET's historical average discount to the S&P 500. Our AET pro forma HUM
+valuation multiple of 14x reflects upside levers to HUM synergy guidance and to reflect
+the improved long-term growth profile of the company. Risks to the upside are
+regulatory approval of the HUM acquisition, better-than-expected membership growth
+and lower than expected cost trend. Risks to the downside are regulators not approving
+the HUM acquisition, lower-than-expected membership growth and higher than
+expected cost trend.
+Consolidated Edison (ED)
+Our price objective of $59 is predicated on shares of ED achieving 13.0x our 2019 EPS
+estimate. We apply the current group average multiple of 13.5x and apply a 0.5x
+discount to reflect a well below average ROE, a slightly below average growth profile,
+and a relatively challenging regulatory environment. This is offset slightly by a lower risk

+profile investment outlook. Upside risks to our thesis could stem from more favorable
+changes to the investment and/or regulatory environment in New York.
+Downside/upside risks: ED, like all utility stocks, is also sensitive to changes in the
+market level of interest rates. Utilities historically underperform if bond yields rise, and
+outperform when they fall. Furthermore, ED is a bellwether utility and has historically
+outperformed during market uncertainty as a large liquid "flight to safety" stock.
+Dover Corp (DOV)
+Our PO of $85 is based on 11.5x EV/EBITDA on our 2017 estimate, which would put
+DOV in line with the multi-industrial peer group average. We view the target multiple as
+conservative, as we expect the Street to focus on EPS growth upside in '17, driven by
+Energy coming off depressed profitability.
+Risks to our PO are: 1) Highly dependent on acquisition strategy, 2) A reduction in
+capital spending in the oil & gas market, and 3) Weak global industrial production
+growth.
+General Dynamics (GD)
+We derive our PO of $200 using a sum-of-the-parts valuation model. Our model factors
+in 19.5x P/E multiple on 2018E earnings for GD's defense business, which is in line with
+pure play defense peers, and 18x P/E multiple on Gulfstream's 2018E earnings. In our
+view, GD's competitive business jet product portfolio and growth outlook in defense
+could provide near-term and medium-term organic growth. Additionally, the company's
+strong balance sheet and solid cash generation could sustain dividend growth and share
+repurchases.
+Downside risks to our PO are: 1) A downturn in business jets, due to an exogenous
+factor. 2) Given that business jets are priced in dollars, an unexpected devaluation in the
+dollar could significantly impact order activity, 3) We are forecasting a declining defense
+budget, which would then place a cap on the top-line growth for the defense primes. We
+view the Administration change as a potential ceiling to defense stocks as political
+control, in our view, is a key driver of defense spending. Decline in defense spending
+authorization (a leading indicator), which in turn could impact treasury outlays. Potential
+budget cuts to the Navy's fleet could encumber GD as well as a slowdown in
+procurement for the Army (armored vehicles). 4) Poor execution on defense programs
+could adversely impact margins.
+Hess Corp. (HES)
+Our price objective of $80 / share is based on a 5-year outlook which assumes a 5.5x
+DACF multiple and a commodity deck of $67.50 WTI and $70 Brent to which we add
+$10 / sh for Liza in offshore Guyana. The multiple is based on a finite timeline to
+delivery which is supported by core NAV.
+The risks to our price objective are: 1) the oil and gas price environment, (2) slowdowns
+in development drilling that leave production below expectations, and (3) news flow
+around HES' exploratory and appraisal drilling activities that could impact the stock.
+MGM Resorts International (MGM)
+Our $33 PO is based on 11.5x our 2017 EBITDA estimate (implied 10x 2018E EBITDA).
+This is in line with its historical trading range and supported by our detailed sum of the
+parts analysis.
+Upside risks are: a stronger than anticipated recovery in Las Vegas, improving consumer
+sentiment and its 56% ownership stake in MGM China. Downside risks are: balance
+sheet and liquidity risks proving worse than expected, continued Strip competition, and
+continuing near-term softness in the Macau market.

+Norfolk Southern (NSC)
+Our $122 price objective is based on a 19.5x multiple on our 2017 EPS estimate of
+$6.25. We move above the top of its one-standard deviation historical trading range of
+12x-16x given the new management team's move to improve margins, cut costs, and
+raise its ROIC, and as EPS inflects off a volume deflated 19% decline in 2015.
+Risks to our price objective and estimates are the company's ability to derive continued
+operational benefits, a return to significant pricing competition among the rails, slower
+than expected economic growth, a deterioration to improving service metrics, a heavily
+unionized employee base, inability to exercise pricing power due to regulatory changes
+or legal challenges from customers, external factors (such as weather) impacting
+operations, and the STB installing mandatory reciprocal switching (or open access) to
+the rail network without proper pricing.
+SVB Financial Group (SIVB)
+We use a three-factor valuation framework (P/TBV, P/E, DCF) to arrive at our $190 price
+objective and assign a 2.3x multiple to our 2017e TBV and apply a 21x P/E to 17E EPS.
+Our valuation multiples are both in line with high growth peers due to SIVB's high
+profitability and EPS growth profile. Our DCF assumes a two-stage cost of capital of
+9.5% and a terminal growth rate of 6%.
+Downside risks are a longer than expected low rate environment and a slowdown in the
+technology sector and related IPO activity. Upside risks are sooner than expected rate
+hike, or better than expected pickup in the tech sector.
+Texas Instruments Inc. (TXN)
+Our 582 PO on TXN is based on14x FY17E EV/EBITDA, in line with high quality
+diversified and analog peers trading at 14x-15x, given TXN's high quality business model
+and strong FCF generation.
+Risks to our price objective: 1) Lumpy telco capex, especially in wireless deployments, 2)
+Volatile market share as design cycle times are very long, 3) Increased R&D spending
+pressure to maintain an edge versus the competition, 4) Inventory cycles and potential
+double ordering by customers that can often create mismatches between real supply
+and demand, 5) Exposure to several mature markets such as PC and other consumer
+electronics could limit its growth rate.
+TripAdvisor (TRIP)
+Our price objective of $41 is based on 21x our 2018 non-GAAP EPS estimate. This
+multiple represents a premium to online travel/vertical media comps and in our view
+adequately compensates TripAdvisor for improving margins and growth off a trough
+point in FY16 into FY17 when the negative impacts of its IB transition peak.
+Downside risks to our price objective are: 1) increasing competition (e.g. Yelp), 2) macro-
+economic factors (e.g. recession in Europe) impacting the travel industry, 3) challenges
+to the credibility of online reviews, 4) Instant Book transition puts pressure on revenue
+growth, and 5) mobile monetization headwinds.
+Upside risks to our price objective are: 1) improved mobile monetization 2) major OTA
+sign on for instant booking 3) high non-hotel shopper dollar capture and 4) improved
+global macro environment.

+* Issuers that were investment banking clients of BofA Merrill Lynch or one of its affiliates within the past 12 months. For purposes of this Investment Rating Distribution, the coverage universe includes only stocks. A
+stock rated Neutral is included as a Hold, and a stock rated Underperform is included as a Sell.
+FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY OPINION KEY: Opinions include a Volatility Risk Rating, an Investment Rating and an Income Rating. VOLATILITY RISK RATINGS, indicators of potential
+price fluctuation, are: A - Low, B - Medium and C - High. INVESTMENT RATINGS reflect the analyst's assessment of a stock's: (i) absolute total return potential and (ii)
+attractiveness for investment relative to other stocks within its Coverage Cluster (defined below). There are three investment ratings: 1 - Buy stocks are expected to have a total
+return of at least 10% and are the most attractive stocks in the coverage cluster; 2 - Neutral stocks are expected to remain flat or increase in value and are less attractive than
+Buy rated stocks and 3 - Underperform stocks are the least attractive stocks in a coverage cluster. Analysts assign investment ratings considering, among other things, the 0-12
+month total return expectation for a stock and the firm's guidelines for ratings dispersions (shown in the table below). The current price objective for a stock should be
+referenced to better understand the total return expectation at any given time. The price objective reflects the analyst's view of the potential price appreciation (depreciation).
+Total return expectation (within 12-month period of date of initial rating)
+Ratings dispersion guidelines for coverage cluster*
+Buy
+≥ 10%
+≤ 70%
+Neutral
+≥ 0%
+≤ 30%
+Underperform
+N/A
+≥ 20%
+* Ratings dispersions may vary from time to time where BofA Merrill Lynch Research believes it better reflects the investment prospects of stocks in a Coverage Cluster.
+INCOME RATINGS, indicators of potential cash dividends, are: 7 - same/higher (dividend considered to be secure), 8 - same/lower (dividend not considered to be secure) and 9 - pays
+no cash dividend. Coverage Cluster is comprised of stocks covered by a single analyst or two or more analysts sharing a common industry, sector, region or other classification(s). A stock's
+coverage cluster is included in the most recent BofA Merrill Lynch report referencing the stock.
+Price charts for the securities referenced in this research report are available at http://pricecharts.baml.com, or call 1-800-MERRILL to have them mailed.

+this report may be used or reproduced or quoted in any manner whatsoever in Taiwan by the press or any other person without the express written consent of BofA Merrill Lynch.
+This research report provides general information only. Neither the information nor any opinion expressed constitutes an offer or an invitation to make an offer, to buy or sell any securities or
+other financial instrument or any derivative related to such securities or instruments (e.g., options, futures, warrants, and contracts for differences). This report is not intended to provide
+personal investment advice and it does not take into account the specific investment objectives, financial situation and the particular needs of any specific person. Investors should seek
+financial advice regarding the appropriateness of investing in financial instruments and implementing investment strategies discussed or recommended in this report and should understand
+that statements regarding future prospects may not be realized. Any decision to purchase or subscribe for securities in any offering must be based solely on existing public information on such
+security or the information in the prospectus or other offering document issued in connection with such offering, and not on this report.
+Securities and other financial instruments discussed in this report, or recommended, offered or sold by Merrill Lynch, are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and are not
+deposits or other obligations of any insured depository institution (including, Bank of America, N.A.). Investments in general and, derivatives, in particular, involve numerous risks, including,
+among others, market risk, counterparty default risk and liquidity risk. No security, financial instrument or derivative is suitable for all investors. In some cases, securities and other financial
+instruments may be difficult to value or sell and reliable information about the value or risks related to the security or financial instrument may be difficult to obtain. Investors should note that
+income from such securities and other financial instruments, if any, may fluctuate and that price or value of such securities and instruments may rise or fall and, in some cases, investors may
+lose their entire principal investment. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. Levels and basis for taxation may change.
+This report may contain a short-term trading idea or recommendation, which highlights a specific near-term catalyst or event impacting the issuer or the market that is anticipated to have a
+short-term price impact on the equity securities of the issuer. Short-term trading ideas and recommendations are different from and do not affect a stock's fundamental equity rating, which
+reflects both a longer term total return expectation and attractiveness for investment relative to other stocks within its Coverage Cluster. Short-term trading ideas and recommendations may
+be more or less positive than a stock's fundamental equity rating.
+BofA Merrill Lynch is aware that the implementation of the ideas expressed in this report may depend upon an investor's ability to "short" securities or other financial instruments and that such
+action may be limited by regulations prohibiting or restricting "shortselling" in many jurisdictions. Investors are urged to seek advice regarding the applicability of such regulations prior to
+executing any short idea contained in this report.
+Foreign currency rates of exchange may adversely affect the value, price or income of any security or financial instrument mentioned in this report. Investors in such securities and instruments,
+including ADRs, effectively assume currency risk.
+UK Readers: The protections provided by the U.K. regulatory regime, including the Financial Services Scheme, do not apply in general to business coordinated by BofA Merrill Lynch entities
+located outside of the United Kingdom. BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research policies relating to conflicts of interest are described at http://go.bofa.com/coi.
+MLPF&S or one of its affiliates is a regular issuer of traded financial instruments linked to securities that may have been recommended in this report. MLPF&S or one of its affiliates may, at any
+time, hold a trading position (long or short) in the securities and financial instruments discussed in this report.
+BofA Merrill Lynch, through business units other than BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research, may have issued and may in the future issue trading ideas or recommendations that are inconsistent
+with, and reach different conclusions from, the information presented in this report. Such ideas or recommendations reflect the different time frames, assumptions, views and analytical
+methods of the persons who prepared them, and BofA Merrill Lynch is under no obligation to ensure that such other trading ideas or recommendations are brought to the attention of any
+recipient of this report.
+In the event that the recipient received this report pursuant to a contract between the recipient and MLPF&S for the provision of research services for a separate fee, and in connection
+therewith MLPF&S may be deemed to be acting as an investment adviser, such status relates, if at all, solely to the person with whom MLPF&S has contracted directly and does not extend
+beyond the delivery of this report (unless otherwise agreed specifically in writing by MLPF&S). MLPF&S is and continues to act solely as a broker-dealer in connection with the execution of any
+transactions, including transactions in any securities mentioned in this report.

+Prince Andrew and the 17-year-old girl his
+sex offender friend flew to Britain to meet
+him
+By SHARON CHURCHER
+UPDATED: 08:02 EST. 2 March 2011

+View comments
+• Virginia Roberts reveals she is 'Jane Doe 102' in Jeffrey Epstein case
+• Mother-of-three spent four years as millionaire's personal masseuse
+• She describes being flown across world to meet Prince Andrew
+• Epstein trained her 'as a prostitute for him and his friends'
+As the UK's special representative for international trade, the Duke of York holds an important
+position, requiring sound judgement and widespread respect.
+3ut those qualities have been thrown into question since photographs of Prince Andrew with his
+billionaire financier friend Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted child-sex offender who was jailed for 18
+months for soliciting underage prostitutes, appeared last weekend.
+Today, however, even more serious doubts are cast on his suitability after a woman at the centre of
+the Epstein case revealed to The Mail on Sunday that she had, as a 17-year-old employed by
+Epstein, been flown across the world to be introduced to the Prince.

+Manhattan.
+The photograph that appeared last weekend shows the prince strolling through Central Park with
+58-year-old Epstein. Andrew was said to have spent four days at his New York mansion in
+December, when he was joined by other distinguished guests, including Woody Allen, at a dinner.
+It is by no means the first New York soiree Andrew has attended as Epstein's guest.
+A lengthy profile of the financier in Vanity Fair magazine some years ago reported that Andrew was
+a guest at a cocktail party thrown by Epstein and Maxwell packed with young Russian models.
+Some guests were horrified,' said the article's author, Vicky Ward.
+It should not be forgotten that Epstein is a registered sex offender after recently completing his
+sentence for offences relating to child prostitution.
+However, he avoided trial on more serious charges that carried a potential life sentence. And no one
+reading The Mail on Sunday's interview with the woman who was prepared to testify against him can
+be in any doubt of the seriousness of the charges.
+Epstein, a Wall Street money manager who once counted Bill Clinton and Donald Trump among his
+friends, became the subject of an undercover investigation in 2005 after the stepmother of a 14-year
+old girl claimed she was paid $200 (£125) to give him an 'erotic massage'.
+The subsequent FBI probe uncovered at least 20 girls levelling sexual allegations against him.
+Eventually, Epstein struck a 'plea bargain' with prosecutors - a practice not permitted under British
+law - under which he was allowed to plead guilty to two relatively minor charges.
+Police claim that his donations to politicians and his 'dream team' of influential lawyers deterred
+prosecutors from bringing more serious charges of sex-trafficking. The deal certainly kept the names
+of a lot of Epstein's famous friends out of an embarrassing court case.
+However, an unusual part of the agreement was that Epstein's alleged victims were allowed to bring
+civil proceedings against him.
+He has so far made 17 out-of-court settlements, and some cases are ongoing. One of these girls
+was to have been a key witness for the prosecution had the case gone to trial. She was just 15
+years old when she was drawn into Epstein's exploitative world in 1998.
+In her civil writ against him, under the pseudonym Jane Doe 102' she alleged that her duties
+included being 'sexually exploited by Epstein's adult male peers including royaity.
+Now, horrified by the evidence of Epstein and Andrew enjoying each other's company in New York,
+Jane Doe 102 has agreed to waive her anonymity and tell for the first time her deeply disturbing
+Her real name is Virginia Roberts and she now lives in Australia, where she is a happity married
+mother of three.
+Over the course of a week during which she spoke at length to The Mail on Sunday, she appeared
+sometimes vulnerable, and sometimes steely, but always quietly resolute and consistent.
+Revisiting events from a past that she had hoped she had left behind, Virginia occasionally buried
+her face in her hands.
+Some recollections - and, for reasons of taste, not all the details can be included here - caused her
+to flush with shame. I'm telling you things that even my husband didn't know,' she said.
+Virginia, who has undergone counselling to try to come to terms with her past, is honest about her
+initiation into Epstein's depraved world.
+She was a troubled teenager, whose slender figure, delicate complexion, hesitant voice and soulful
+blue eyes made her look young for her years.
+Born in Sacramento, California, in August 1983, Virginia spent her early years on a small ranch on
+the West Coast of America.
+This seemingly idyllic childhood ended when she was sexually molested by a man close to her
+family.
+The fallout from that led to her parents temporarily splitting up. Blaming herself, Virginia began to

+Three years later, she was reunited with her family and started a new life with her father who had
+moved to Palm Beach,
+Florida, where he was maintenance manager at Donald Trump's country club, Mar-a-Lago.
+Virginia got a part-time job as a changing room assistant -which is where, soon after her 15th
+birthday, she met Chislaine Maxwell, who invited her to work as Epstein's personal masseuse.
+'I was wearing my uniform - a white miniskirt and a skin-tight white polo top - when I was
+approached by Ghislaine,' Virginia says.
+I told her I wanted to become a masseuse and she said she worked for a very wealthy gentleman
+who was looking for a travelling masseuse.
+I'd get training and be paid well. Virginia's father gave his blessing, believing his daughter was being
+handed the opportunity to learn a skill and to work for a wealthy and respectable employer.

+Virginia says: 'Ghislaine said I was to start immediately and that someone would drive me home.
+My father left and I was told to go upstairs.' She was led by another woman through Epstein's
+bedroom into a massage room where he lay face down naked on a table.
+He started to interviewed Virginia. This was unconventional, but Virginia had no suspicions.
+Presumably, she thought, this was how the wealthy conducted their business.
+Epstein elicited the information that Virginia had been a runaway, and was no longer a virgin.
+Virginia was then told to start massaging Epstein, under the instructions of the woman who had
+shown her in. The massage quickly developed into a sexual encounter.
+Virginia was uncomfortable, but reluctant to deny such important people. 'My face was red with
+embarrassment, she says. 'But I felt under immense pressure to please them.
+The whole time it was going on, they were promising me the world, that l'd travel with Jeffrey on his

+Troubled teenager: Virginia on the billionaire's Zorra ranch in New Mexico in 2001
+Virginia was fascinated by his life story: the son of a humble New York City parks worker, he was a
+teacher before becoming a Wall Street broker and friends with the upper echelons of the political,
+financial and academic establishment.
+As a confused teenager, Virginia easily fell into the practice of sexually gratifying him for money.
+He guaranteed her a minimum of $200 each time she gave him what he called an 'erotic massage.'
+Virginia said: 'I would always receive the money immediately. He would give me the cash from a wad
+he carried in a black duffel bag or an assistant paid me.
+'And, because of the way Epstein had warped her sensibilities, every time she took the cash,
+Virginia felt even more indebted to him. Secretly, he was also preparing her for an even more
+disturbing role.
+and his friends a ninered his interestin for him Epstein had trained me
+and his friends who shared his interest in young

+to ask me to "entertain" his friends.'
+It started when Epstein called Virginia at the Palm Wanted. I told myself I

+She recalls: 'He said, "'ve got a good friend and i Was special

+He didn't spell out what I had to do. He didn't have to. 'He'd trained me to do whatever a man
+wanted. I was shocked but I told myself he was sharing me around because he trusted me and I was
+special.
+I was worried, but I would do anything to keep Jeffrey happy and to keep my place as his number
+one girl.
+He would keep telling me how lucky I was with the life I was leading and the money I was making. It
+was easy to fall into his grasp.
+The way it usually worked was I'd be sent to meet a man on the private island Jeffrey owned in the
+Caribbean, or at his ranch in New Mexico, which was really isolated.' She was 'given' to men ranging
+They included a well-known businessman (whose pregnant wife was asleep in the next room), a
+world-renowned scientist, a respected liberal politician and a foreign head of state.
+None appeared to think the arrangement was unusual. Virginia says there were many other girls in
+Epstein's circle and that she was paid extra money to help recruit them.
+'They would lounge around the Palm Beach house, the ranch or the island, nude or topless,' she
+says. 'But I was one of the very few he trusted as "special" and chosen to "entertain" his friends.'
+Virginia took the sedative Xanax to detach herself from sordid reality. 'It was an escape drug,' she

+Epstein had no objection to Virginia's use of prescription drugs, no doubt recognising that they made

+That made me totally obedient.' Despite the fact that Epstein was, essentially, her pimp, this life now
+seemed normal to Virginia. 'I felt that he and Ghislaine really cared for me,' she said.
+We'd do family things, like watch Sex And The City and eat popcorn. 'A lot of it was very glamorous.

+Jeffrey bought me jewellery - diamonds were
+his favourite - and wonderful furniture. He was
+paying me very well because l'd give him sex
+whenever he wanted it.'
+She was, she says, delighted when Epstein
+invited her to accompany him on a six-week trip
+in 2001.
+'He said we'd be going to Europe and North
+Africa to meet architects and interior decorators
+because he wanted to redo his New Mexico
+house.
+I threw my arms around him and gave him a
+peck on the cheek.' They flew to Paris, then
+Spain, then Tangier.
+Finally, they went to London. 'After we landed,
+we drove straight to Ghislaine's house,' says
+Virginia. I was given a small upstairs bedroom.
+The following morning, Ghislaine came in.
+She was chirpy and jumped on the bed saying,
+"Get up, sleepyhead. You've got a big day.
+We've got to go shopping. You need a dress as
+you're going to dance with a Prince tonight."
+'She said I needed to be "smiley" and bubbly
+because he was the Queen's son.
+Chislaine and I went to Burberry, where she
+bought me a £5,000 bag, and to a few other

+singlet, perfume and make-up.
+We got back to Ghislaine's house at around 4pm and I ran straight upstairs to shower and dress.
+When I went downstairs, Ghislaine and Jeffrey were in the lounge. There was a knock at the door.
+Ghislaine led Andrew in and we kissed each other on the cheek. 'Ghislaine served tea from a

+Then Ghislaine asked Andrew how old he thought I was and he guessed 17 and they all laughed.
+Ghislaine made a joke that I was getting too old for Jeffrey.
+She said, "He'l soon have to trade her in." It was widely known that he liked young girls.' The four of
+them went out to dinner and on to Tramp nightclub where, she says, Andrew danced with her.
+'After about an hour-and-a-half, we drove back to Ghislaine's.
+All of us went upstairs and I asked Jeffrey to snap a picture of me with the Prince. I wanted
+something to show my Mom. Ghislaine and Jeffrey left us after that, and later Andrew left.
+'In the morning, Ghislaine said, "You did well. He had fun". We flew straight back to the States.' The
+Mail on Sunday has confirmed that the tycoon's jet flew to Paris on March 6, 2001, continuing to
+Granada, Tangier and London, before returning to New York.
+On the last leg of the trip, Virginia was paid about $15,000 (£9,400) by Epstein. 'It was amazing
+money, more than l'd ever made on a trip with him before.
+He didn't say there was any special reason, but I felt like l'd done everything he wanted. He was very
+pleased.'
+There is no suggestion that there was any sexual I took eight pills a day to

+However, the Prince must have been aware of

+Organiser: Ghislaine Maxwell looks on as Andrew put his arm around Virginia. Robert Maxwell's daughter
+invited her to work as Epstein's personal masseuse soon after her 15th birthday
+We kissed on the cheek and Ghislaine placed me on his other knee. Johanna spoke to The Mail on
+Sunday three years ago about this incident, which took place when she was 21.
+She said: 'Ghislaine put the puppet's hand on Virginia's breast, then Andrew put his hand on my
+breast. It was a great joke. Everybody laughed.' After this, Virginia was paid, by Epstein, around
+$400 (£250).
+She met Andrew for the third and final time on Epstein's Caribbean island, Little Saint James.
+Virginia was never under the British legal age of consent when she met Andrew. She was 17 during
+the first two encounters and 18 at the third.
+By now, however, Epstein, had started to hint that she was getting too oid' for him.
+But during one trip to the island, Epstein and Ghislaine made their most astonishing proposition, and
+one which repuised her. 'They said Jeffrey wanted me to have his child,' she says.
+'They said I was part of their family and I was beautiful,young, loyal and nurturing and would be a
+great mother.
+They said I would have to sign a contract relinquishing rights to the child and consenting to Jeffrey
+having as many relationships as he liked. In return I would have my own mansion in Palm Beach
+and a large monthly payment, a percentage of his income.
+This, finally, was a wake-up call to Virginia and she began to see the way in which she had been
+groomed.
+'It was a smack in the face,' she says. I finally realised this wasn't ever going to be a real
+relationship but I knew if I refused, l'd be thrown back on the streets. So I said, "I'm too young. I
+want to get my massage credentials, then maybe we'll do it"
+The tycoon took her at her word and, for her 19th birthday in August 2002, flew her to Thailand
+where he enrolled her in a massage course.
+Shortly after arriving there, she met an Australian martial arts expert called Robert. They fell in love
+and, just ten days later, married in a Buddhist ceremony.
+'I called Jeffrey and told him I'd fallen madly in love,' Virginia says. 'I was hoping he'd be delighted.
+But he said, "Have a nice life," and hung up on me. The couple now have two sons, aged five and
+four, and a daughter who recently turned one.
+The first few months after I married Robert were the worst,' she says. 'I couldn't bring myself to tell
+him much. No man wants to know his wife has been traded out.
+'I felt very alone. I was having panic attacks and seeing a psychiatrist and was on anti-depressants.
+• Virginia was beginning to put her Epstein days behind her when, three years ago, she was phoned
+by the FBI.

+'They said they had found photos of me at
+Jeffrey's Palm Beach house,' she says. 'Epstein
+had] hidden cameras watching me the entire
+time even when I was in the bathroom. I was so
+embarrassed.
+'I told the FBI that my true purpose was sexual.
+They told me everything he did was illegal
+because I was under age.' (The age of consent
+in Florida is 18).
+'They said that if it had to go to trial, they'd need
+me because l'd lived with him and that made me
+a key witness. I was very afraid, because he had
+so much power, but eventually I agreed to
+testify.
+I was glad he'd finally been found out. He
+shouldn't be hurting other girls. Following
+Epstein's arrest, investigators are believed to
+have found a list of men's names on his
+computer and asked him whether they had been
+'treated' to sexual encounters with his menage
+of minors.

+Teenage girl recruited by pedophile Jeffrey
+Epstein reveals how she twice met Bill
+Clinton
+By SHARON CHURCHER and POLLY DUNBAR FOR MAILONLINE
+UPDATED: 19:53 EST, 5 March 2011

+View comments
+As a New Yorker from humble beginnings, Jeffrey Epstein played on his blue-collar credentials and
+enormous wealth to extend tentacles of influence throughout America's liberal political elite.
+During the outcry over the Epstein case, it emerged that another man with a notorious appetite for
+young women, Bill Clinton, travelled with Epstein to a number of destinations, including three times
+on the billionaire's private aircraft.
+On one occasion, Epstein flew the former President, Hollywood actor and staunch Democrat Kevin
+Spacey and another actor friend of Mr Clinton's, Chris Tucker, to Africa, to 'discuss AIDS policy.
+BAI
+HABETHOMAS
+Claims: Virginia Roberts says she twice met ex-president Bill Clinton, pictured last month, but was never 'lent
+out'
+Epstein, who has donated more than £75,000 over the years to candidates from the Democratic
+Party, also flew with Mr Clinton in November 2003 to destinations including Russia, Oslo, Hong
+Kong, Shanghai and Beijing
+Yet Virginia Roberts stresses that she was never 'lent out' to Mr Clinton.
+On one occasion, she adds, Epstein did invite two young brunettes to a dinner which he gave on his
+Caribbean island for Mr Clinton shortly after he left office. But, as far as she knows, the ex-President
+did not take the bait.
+I'd have been about 17 at the time, she says. 'I flew to the Caribbean with Jeffrey and then
+Ghislaine Maxwell went to pick up Bill in a huge black helicopter that Jeffrey had bought her.

+"She'd always wanted to fly and Jeffrey paid for her to take lessons, and I remember she was very
+excited because she got her licence around the first year we met.
+'I used to get frightened flying with her but Bill had the Secret Service with him and I remember him
+talking about what a good job she did.
+I only ever met Bill twice but Jeffrey had told me that they were good friends.
+'I asked, "How come?" and he laughed and said, "He owes me some favours." Maybe he was just
+joking but it constantly surprised me that people with as much to lose as Bill and [Prince] Andrew
+weren't more careful.
+Bill must have known about Jeffrey's girls. There were three desks in the living area of the villa on
+the island.
+Speaking out: Virginia, now aged 26, in her new home in Australia
+They were covered with pictures of Jeffrey shaking hands with famous people and photos of naked
+girls, including one of me that Jeffrey had at all his houses, lying in a hammock.
+We all dined together that night. Jeffrey was at the head of the table. Bill was at his left. I sat across
+from him. Emmy Tayler, Ghislaine's blonde British assistant, sat at my right.
+'Ghislaine was at Bill's left and at the left of Ghislaine there were two olive-skinned brunettes who'd
+flown in with us from New York.
+I'd never met them before. I'd say they were no older than 17, very innocent-looking.
+They weren't there for me. They weren't there for Jeffrey or Ghislaine because I was there to have
+sex with Jeffrey on the trip.
+'Maybe Jeffrey thought they would entertain Bill, but I saw no evidence that he was interested in
+them. He and Jeffrey and Ghislaine seemed to have a very good relationship. Bill was very funny.
+'He made me laugh a few times. And he and

+According to prison records, when Epstein was
+serving his jail term, his visitors included a long-
+time - and highly controversial - Clinton acquaintance, Arnold Prosperi.
+'In the final hours of the Clinton presidency, in January 2001, Prosperi was facing three years in
+prison after being convicted of tax fraud. Mr Clinton commuted his sentence to house arrest.
+'Clinton, Prosperi and Epstein make an odd threesome on the face of it,' says a law enforcement
+source.
+Was Prosperi visiting Epstein as some kind of intermediary for Bill?
+'Maybe Bill wanted to know if Epstein knew anything that could embarrass him. Or did Bill commute
+Prosperi's sentence as some kind of favour
+for Epstein?'
+Virginia disclosed that Mr Clinton's vice-president Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, were also guests of
+Epstein on his island.

+Guests: Virginia says she also met former Vice President Al Gore, pictured right with Mr Clinton
+Last summer, the Gores abruptly announced that they were ending their supposedly fairytale
+marriage and, just weeks later, it emerged that Mr Gore - the famously sanctimonious global-
+warming disciple - had been accused of trying to force sex on a woman with whom he had booked a
+therapeutic massage at an Oregon hotel.
+I had no clue that anything was up,' Virginia says. 'The Gores seemed like a beautiful couple when I
+met them. All I knew was that Mr Gore was a friend of Jeffrey's and Ghislaine's. Jeffrey didn't ask me
+to give him a massage.
+There might have been a couple of other girls there on that trip but I could never have imagined this
+guy would do anything wrong. I was planning to vote for him when I turned 18. I thought he was
+awesome.'
+Virginia said that yet another American liberal icon, President Obama's Middle East peace envoy
+Senator George Mitchell, frequently visited Epstein's New York residence.
+Mr Mitchell, aged 77 - who previously led America's Northern Ireland peace initiative - was very
+close to Jeffrey,' Virginia recalled. 'He is very clean-cut. You wouldn't think of him being part of
+Jeffrey's crew.'

+Epstein's many Hollywood pals include Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons.
+'Jeffrey once had me give Matt a foot massage when he was flying on the jet with us,' Virginia says.
+'He laughed and did drawings of Bart and Homer for my little brother and my dad.
+I also met Naomi Campbell at a birthday party of hers on a yacht in the South of France. She is a
+friend of Ghislaine's but she was a real bitch to me.
+*She was very fake. She turned away from me when we were introduced by Ghislaine and Jeffrey.

+But he also took his defence very seriously indeed. Epstein engaged his friend, the Harvard law
+professor Alan Dershowitz - whose celebrity clients have included Mike Tyson, Patty Hearst, Claus
+von Bulow and O.J. Simpson - to run his legal defence.
+He also employed a firm of private investigators to investigate the backgrounds of the girls.
+Detectives painstakingly built a case which they believed showed that Epstein systematically paid
+teenage girls to recruit other teenage girls to his sex ring.
+However, as the investigation continued, they found that Epstein's team had already spoken to key
+witnesses, suggesting that the financier would reward those who helped him.
+In addition, Epstein's defence team agreed to the unusual move of suggesting that the alleged
+victims sue Epstein in the civil courts. The result was a plea bargain in which Epstein admitted a
+single charge of soliciting an underage girl for prostitution - a deal which infuriated many police
+officers who worked on the case.
+More than 20 of Epstein's girls are said to have sued him for damages. At least 17 have settled out
+of court.
+Mr Clinton, Mr Gore and Mr Mitchell were all contacted about their friendship with Epstein but
+declined to comment.

+Statement on Behalf of Ghislaine
+Maxwell
+BY DEVONOTTIRES SOLICITORS, PRNE
+WEDNESDAY, MARCI 9. 2011
+LONDON, March 10, 2011 - Ghislaine Maxwell denies the
+various allegations about her
+that have appeared recently in the media. These allegations
+are all entirely
+false.
+It is unacceptable that letters sent by Ms Maxwell's legal
+representatives to certain newspapers pointing out the truth
+and asking for
+the allegations to be withdrawn have simply been ignored.
+In the circumstances, Ms Maxwell is now proceeding to take
+legal action against those newspapers.
+"I understand newspapers need stories to sell copies. It is
+well known that certain newspapers live by the adage, "why
+let the truth get
+in the way of a good story." However, the allegations made
+against me are
+abhorrent and entirely untrue and I ask that they stop," said
+Ghislaine
+Maxwell.
+"A number of newspapers have shown a complete lack of
+accuracy
+in their reporting of this story and a failure to carry out the
+most
+elementary investigation or any real due diligence. I am now
+taking action to
+clear my name," she said.

+JANE DOE 1 and JANE DOE 2,
+Petitioners,
+VS.
+UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
+Respondent.
+ORDER DENYING PETITIONERS' MOTION TO JOIN UNDER RULE 21 AND
+MOTION TO AMEND UNDER RULE 15
+This cause is before the Court on Jane Doe 3 and Jane Doe 4's Corrected Motion
+Pursuant to Rule 21 for Joinder in Action ("Rule 21 Motion") (DE 280), and Jane Doe 1 and Jane
+Doe 2's Protective Motion Pursuant to Rule 15 to Amend Their Pleadings to Conform to
+Existing Evidence and to Add Jane Doe 3 and Jane Doe 4 as Petitioners ("Rule 15 Motion") (DE
+311). Both motions are ripe for review. For the following reasons, the Court concludes that they
+should be denied
+I. Background
+This is an action by two unnamed petitioners, Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2, seeking to
+prosecute a claim under the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA), 18 U.S.C. § 3771. (DE 1).
+Generally, they allege that the respondent Government violated their rights under the CVRA by
+failing to consult with them before negotiating a non-prosecution agreement with Jeffrey Epstein,
+who subjected them to various sexual crimes while they were minors. (Id.). Petitioners initiated
+this action in July 2008. (Id.)

+On December 30, 2014, two other unnamed victims, Jane Doe 3 and Jane Doe 4, moved
+to join as petitioners in this action pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 21. (DE 280).
+Petitioners (Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2) support the Rule 21 Motion. (Id. at 11). Jane Doe 3 and
+Jane Doe 4 argue that they "have suffered the same violations of their rights under the [CVRA]
+as the" Petitioners, and they "desire to join in this action to vindicate their rights as well." (Id. at
+1). The Government vehemently opposes joinder under Rule 21. (DE 290). The Government
+argues that Rule 15 is the proper procedural device for adding parties to an action, not Rule 21.
+(Id. at 1).
+"[O]ut of an abundance of caution," Petitioners filed a motion to amend their petition
+under Rule 15, conforming the petition to the evidence and adding Jane Doe 3 and Jane Doe 4 as
+petitioners. (DE 311 at 2). The Government opposes the Rule 15 Motion as well. (DE 314).
+Among other things, the Government argues that amending the petition to include Jane Doe 3
+and Jane Doe 4 should be denied because of their undue delay in seeking to join the proceedings,
+and the undue prejudice that amendment will cause. (Id.).
+After considering the parties' submissions and the proposed amended petition, the Court
+finds that justice does not require amendment in this instance and exercises its discretion to deny
+the amendment.
+II. Discussion
+"The decision whether to grant leave to amend a complaint is within the sole discretion of
+the district court." Laurie v. Ala. Ct. Crim. Apps., 256 F.3d 1266, 1274 (11th Cir. 2001).
+"The
+court should freely give leave when justice so requires." Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2). Justice does
+not require amendment in several instances,
+"includ[ing] undue delay, bad faith, dilatory motive

+on the part of the movant, ... undue prejudice to the opposing party by virtue of allowance of the
+amendment, [and] futility of amendment.'" Laurie, 256 F.3d at 1274 (quoting Foman v. Davis,
+371 U.S. 178, 182 (1962)). In addition to considering the effect of amendment on the parties, the
+court must consider "the importance of the amendment on the proper determination of the merits
+of a dispute." 6 Wright & Miller, Fed. Prac. & Fed. P. § 1488, p. 814 (3d ed. 2010). Justice does
+not require amendment where the addition of parties with duplicative claims will not materially
+advance the resolution of the litigation on the merits. See Herring v. Delta Air Lines, Inc., 894
+F.2d 1020, 1024 (9th Cir. 1989).
+A. Rule 21 Motion
+Jane Doe 3 and Jane Doe 4's first attempt to join in this proceeding was brought under
+Rule 21. (DE 280). "If parties seek to add a party under Rule 21, courts generally use the
+standard of Rule 15, governing amendments to pleadings, to determine whether to allow the
+addition." 12 Wright & Miller, Fed. Prac. & Fed. P., p. 432 (3d ed. 2013); see also Galustian v.
+Peter, 591 F.3d 724, 729-30 (4th Cir. 2010) (collecting cases and noting that Rule 15(a) applies
+to amendments seeking to add parties); Frank v. U.S. West, Inc., 3 F. 3d 1357, 1365 (10th Cir.
+1993) ("A motion to add a party is governed by Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a) ...").
+Rule 21, "Misjoinder and Non-joinder of Parties," provides the court with a tool for
+correcting the "misjoinder" of parties that would otherwise result in dismissal. Fed. R. Civ. P.
+21. Insofar as Rule 21 "relates to the addition of parties, it is intended to permit the bringing in
+of a person, who through inadvertence, mistake or for some other reason, had not been made a
+party and whose presence as a party is later found necessary or desirable." United States v. Com.
+Bank of N. Am., 31 F.R.D. 133, 135 (S.D.N.Y. 1962) (internal quotation marks omitted).

+In their Rule 21 Motion, Jane Doe 3 and Jane Doe 4 do not claim that they were omitted
+from this proceeding due to any "inadvertence" or "mistake" by Petitioners; rather, they seek to
+join this proceeding as parties that could have been permissively joined in the original petition
+under Rule 20 ("Permissive Joinder of Parties"). As courts generally use the standards of Rule
+15 to evaluate such circumstances, the Court will consider the joinder issue as presented in the
+Rule 15 Motion' The Court will consider the arguments presented in the Rule 21 Motion as if
+they are set forth in the Rule 15 Motion as well. Because the arguments are presented in the Rule
+15 Motion (and because the Court is denying the Rule 15 Motion on its merits, as discussed
+below), the Rule 21 Motion will be denied
+The Court also concludes that portions of the Rule 21 Motion
+and related
+filings
+should be stricken from the record. Pending for this Court's consideration is a Motion
+for Limited Intervention filed by Alan M. Dershowitz, who seeks to intervene to "strike the
+outrageous and impertinent allegations made against him and [to] request[] a show cause order to
+the attorneys that have made them." (DE 282 at 1). The Court has considered Mr. Dershowitz's
+arguments, but it finds that his intervention is unnecessary as Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
+12(f) empowers the Court "on its own" to "strike from a pleading an insufficient defense or any
+redundant, immaterial, impertinent, or scandalous matter." Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(f).
+Petitioners' Rule 21 Motion consists of relatively little argumentation regarding why the
+Court should permit them to join in this action: they argue that (1) they were sexually abused by
+' The Court notes that, regardless of which motion it considers, the same standard
+governs the addition of parties under Rule 21 and Rule 15. See Goston v. Potter, No. 08-cv-478

+Jeffrey Epstein, and (2) the Government violated their CVRA rights by concealing the non-
+prosecution agreement with them. (DE 280 at 3; see id. at 7-8). However, the bulk of the Rule
+21 Motion consists of copious factual details that Jane Doe 3 and Jane Doe 4 "would prove" "[i]f
+allowed to join this action." (Id. at 3, 7). Specifically, Jane Doe 3 proffers that she could prove
+the circumstances under which a non-party introduced her to Mr. Epstein, and how Mr. Epstein
+sexually trafficked her to several high-profile non-party individuals, "including numerous
+prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well-known
+Prime Minister, and other world leaders." (Id. at 3-6). She names several individuals, and she
+offers details about the type of sex acts performed and where they took place. (See id. at 5)?
+At this juncture in the proceedings, these lurid details are unnecessary to the
+determination of whether Jane Doe 3 and Jane Doe 4 should be permitted to join Petitioners'
+claim that the Government violated their rights under the CVRA. The factual details regarding
+with whom and where the Jane Does engaged in sexual activities are immaterial and impertinent
+to this central claim (i.e., that they were known victims of Mr. Epstein and the Government owed
+them CVRA duties), especially considering that these details involve non-parties who are not
+related to the respondent Government. These unnecessary details shall be stricken.
+The original Rule 21 Motion (DE 279) shall be stricken in its entirety, as it is wholly
+superseded by the "corrected" version of the Rule 21 Motion (DE 280). From the corrected Rule
+21 Motion, the Court shall strike all factual details regarding Jane Doe 3 between the following
+sentences: "The Government then concealed from Jane Doe #3 the existence of its NPA from
+2 Jane Doe 4's proffer is limited to sexual acts between Mr. Epstein and herself. (See DE

+well aware of Jane Doe #3 when it was negotiating the NPA, as it listed her as a victim in the
+attachment to the NPA" (id. at 6). As none of Jane Doe 4's factual details relate to non-parties,
+the Court finds it unnecessary to strike the portion of the Rule 21 Motion related to her
+circumstances. Regarding the Declaration in support of Petitioners' response to Mr.
+Dershowitz's motion to intervene (DE 291-1), the Court shall strike paragraphs 4, 5, 7, 11, 13,
+15, 19 through 53, and 59, as they contain impertinent details regarding non-parties. Regarding
+the Declaration of Jane Doe 3 in support of the Rule 21 Motion (DE 310-1), the Court shall strike
+paragraphs 7 through 12, 16, 39, and 49, as they contain impertinent details regarding non-
+parties. Jane Doe 3 is free to reassert these factual details through proper evidentiary proof,
+should Petitioners demonstrate a good faith basis for believing that such details are pertinent to a
+matter presented for the Court's consideration.
+As mentioned, Mr. Dershowitz moves to intervene "for the limited purposes of moving to
+strike the outrageous and impertinent allegations made against him and requesting a show cause
+order to the attorneys that have made them." (DE 282 at l). As the Court has taken it upon itself

+motion to intervene will be denied as moot? Regarding whether a show cause order should

+response to Mr. Dershowitz's motion. It will accordingly be denied as moot, and DE 293 (the

+issue, the Court finds that its action of striking the lurid details from Petitioners' submissions is
+sanction enough. However, the Court cautions that all counsel are subject to Rule 11's mandate
+that all submissions be presented for a proper purpose and factual contentions have evidentiary
+support, Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(b)(1) and (3), and that the Court may, on its own, strike from any
+pleading "any redundant, immaterial, impertinent, or scandalous matter," Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(f).
+B.
+Rule 15 Motion
+Between their two motions (the Rule 21 Motion and Rule 15 Motion), Jane Doe 3 and
+Jane Doe 4 assert that "they desire to join in this action to vindicate their rights [under the
+CVRA] as well." (DE 280 at 1). Although Petitioners already seek the invalidation of Mr.
+Epstein's non-prosecution agreement on behalf of all "other similarly-situated victims" (DE 189
+at 1; DE 311 at 2, 12, 15, 18-19), Jane Doe 3 and Jane Doe 4 argue that they should be fellow
+travelers in this pursuit, lest they "be forced to file a separate suit raising their claims" resulting
+in "duplicative litigation" (DE 280 at 11). The Court finds that justice does not require adding
+new parties this late in the proceedings who will raise claims that are admittedly "duplicative" of
+the claims already presented by Petitioners.
+The Does' submissions demonstrate that it is entirely unnecessary for Jane Doe 3 and
+Jane Doe 4 to proceed as parties in this action, rather than as fact witnesses available to offer
+relevant, admissible, and non-cumulative testimony. (See, e.g., DE 280 at 2 (Jane Doe 3 and
+Jane Doe 4 "are in many respects similarly situated to the current victims"), 9 ("The new victims
+will establish at trial that the Government violated their CVRA rights in the same way as it
+violated the rights of the other victims."), 10 (Jane Doe 3 and Jane Doe 4 "will simply join in

+id. at 10). Petitioners do not contend that Jane Doe 3 and Jane Doe 4's "participation in this
+case" can only be achieved by listing them as parties.
+As it stands under the original petition, the merits of this case will be decided based on a
+determination of whether the Government violated the rights of Jane Doe 1, Jane Doe 2, and all
+"other similarly situated victims" under the CVRA. Jane Doe 3 and Jane Doe 4 may offer
+relevant, admissible, and non-cumulative evidence that advances that determination, but their
+participation as listed parties is not necessary in that regard. See Herring, 894 F.2d at 1024
+(District court did not abuse its discretion by denying amendment where "addition of more
+plaintiffs
+... would not have affected the issues underlying the grant of summary judgment."); cf.
+Arthur v. Stern, 2008 WL 2620116, at *7 (S.D. Tex. 2008) (Under Rule 15, "courts have held
+that leave to amend to assert a claim already at issue in [another lawsuit] should not be granted if
+the same parties are involved, the same substantive claim is raised, and the same relief is
+sought.").$
+And, as to Jane Doe 4 at least, adding her as a party raises unnecessary questions
+about whether she is a proper party to this action.
+Petitioners also admit that amending the petition to conform to the evidence by
+including references to the non-prosecution agreement itself is "unnecessary" as the "existing
+petition is broad enough to cover the developing evidence in this case." (DE 311). The Court
+§ The Court expresses no opinion at this time whether any of the attestations made by
+Jane Doe 3 and Jane Doe 4 in support of their motion will be relevant, admissible, and non-
+cumulative.
+• The Government contends that Jane Doe 4 is not a true "victim" in this case because
+she was not known at the time the Government negotiated the non-prosecution agreement, and
+accordingly she was not entitled to notification rights under the CVRA. (See DE 290 at 10).
+Any "duplicative" litigation filed by Jane Doe 4 would necessarily raise the issue of whether she
+has standing under the CVRA under these circumstances.

+ACUITY Reputation
+Jane Doe 3 is Virginia Roberts - so not a new individual. The allegations made by Victoria
+Roberts against Ghislaine Maxwell are untrue. The original allegations are not new and have
+been fully responded to and shown to be untrue.
+Each time the story is re told it changes with new salacious details about public figures and
+world leaders and now it is alleged by Ms Roberts that Alan Derschowitz is involved in having
+sexual relations with her, which he denies.
+Ms Roberts claims are obvious lies and should be treated as such and not publicised as news, as
+they are defamatory.
+Ghislaine Maxwell's original response to the lies and defamatory claims remains the same.
+axwell strongly denies allegations of an unsavoury nature, which have appeared in the Britisl
+ress and elsewhere and reserves her right to seek redress at the repetition of such ol
+defamatory claims.

+With the continuous low realized volatility environment, both

+steepened to -3.7 vol points, which are near multi-year lows.
+As our strategists think the Fed now appears concerned about
+surging asset prices, investors should consider downside
+hedges. Calendar puts, i.e. buying short-dated ATM puts and
+selling long-dated OTM puts, are attractively priced given the
+steep term structure.
+Currently, we still have an open trade on NKY calendar puts (buy
+Jul-17 19,500 puts vs sell Dec-17 17,500 puts) to hedge
+downside risks.

+The BoJ's ongoing yield curve control has capped the
+Nikkei/Topix ratio and its volatility
+Japanese government bond UGB) yield has been on a downward
+trend over the last few years and has negatively impacted bank
+earnings. As the Topix has higher weightings in banks than the
+Nikkei, the NKY/TPX ratio has been grinding higher.
+However, the NKY/TPX ratio appears to have flattened out since
+the Bol's commitment to maintain the 10-year JGB yield at
+around 0% in September 2016. With global central banks
+increasingly advocating tighter monetary policies, the market
+may start to speculate Boj's exit strategy and this may reverse
+NKY/TPX's upward trend. With TPX vol trading below NKY vol,
+buying TPX calls funded by NKY calls may perform well in such a
+scenario.

+Rationale
+Investors should re-assess attractiveness of popular and (typically) technically motivated longer-
+dated RV vol trades, given environment of structurally higher political & economic risks and
+increasingly limited policy options
+Cheap equity upside in a bond / equity melt-up
+Risks of a hard Brexit rising and (weak) currency tailwind likely to prove short-lived; position
+cheaply for FTSE 100 (UKX) underperformance
+Remain long equities and cheapen hedges by conditioning on rates
+China risk premium rising but A-shares vol still at all-time lows
+Equity-FX correlation is not priced for a spillover of populism into the EU, which could cause EUR
+to fall against an already weakened GBP as equities fall
+UKX is heavily exposed to EU (50% revenues) and should underperform SPX if GBP tailwind
+fades. Volatility & correlation suit well for outperformance
+Cheapen long XLF upside to near 8y lows via selling upside on structurally challenged European
+banks & relatively more bearish outlook for US rates vs EU
+USDJPY and NKY the biggest beneficiaries of a Trump win
+Banks and Insurance are the most leveraged sector
+Banks and Insurance are the most leveraged sector
+China risk premium rising but A-shares vol still at all-time lows
+Own contrarian EM upside at low cost & limited risk
+QE uncertainty and USDJPY vol support NKY vs SPX realized vol
+What if QE hits its limit? Long NKY vol outright which is cheap to carry
+With fiscal stimulus and potential tax cuts, small caps revert to old normal generating higher vol
+on upside and downside relative to large caps
+Vol and price technicals are attractive. BofAML commodity strategists oil target is $70/bbl but this
+is already priced in SXEP levels according to BofAML Oil & Gas equity analysts
+Position for a near-term wobble followed by yet another equity melt up
+Cheaply access positive carry QE failure hedge
+Position for a pick-up in single stock realised vol on the 10 names (within FTSE's top 30) where
+post EU referendum realised vol was the highest relative to current 1y ATMf vol. The 10 names
+are: Barclays, Aviva, Prudential, BT, Glencore, Tesco, CRH, BA, Standard Chartered & HSBC.
+Hedge portfolios against a buy-the-dip failure should a faster rate cycle ultimately jeopardize it
+Market may trade on the MSCI inclusion theme; Hedge with 2823 HK Jun 17 95% put
+Market may trade on the MSCI inclusion theme; Hedge with 2823 HK Jun17 95% put
+Historically attractive to own TOPIX Top 10 corridor gamma weighted volatility dispersion
+Hedge a rollover in China GDP and screen for cyclicals that could face pressure
+Hedge a rollover in China GDP and screen for cyclicals that could face pressure
+Benefit from low vol, flat correl, likely hawkish ECB & (FX un-hedged) inflows into EU equities
+Leverage inexpensive equity vs. FX vols to own cheap tail protection
+Buy inexpensive EM equity puts on near-record performance gap to commodities
+Monetise low vol & high implied correl to position for greater sector dispersion in EU: long basket
+Own inexpensive NKY hedges into FOMC; Term structure is too steep is under-pricing risks
+Buy out-of-favour and inexpensive biotech upside by levering depressed vol & skew
+Buy EEM puts financed by a basket of EM puts to lever near record low correl
+Hedge a potential China tech bubble; Tencent potentially volatile after a 45% rally YTD
+Hedge the upside into MSCI announcement on 20-Jun
+Fundamental case to be long EU equities remains intact but stretched bullish positioning could
+lead to near-term consolidation
+BofAML Equity & Credit strategists highlight they favour equities over HY credit as div yields have
+surpassed HY credit yield & equities offer more gearing to rising PMI's, earnings and FCF

+Rationale
+Close position as the hurdle to surprise on the upside is high following a 5.8% NKY rally
+Close position as Facebook rallied on better-than expected Q2 results
+Close position as Amazon rallied on better-than expected Q2 results
+Remove protection as worries around disappointing Q4 guidance faded post earnings
+The BoJ, Fed & EU bank stress tests could move mkts sharply in the near term
+Unwinding before the Aug16 expiry; The NKY Sep put spread has carried well
+Telstra has announced earnings and the stock has corrected 5% over the period
+NCM has stayed unchanged over the period despite better than expected earnings
+CSL fell 5.4% over the period with weak earnings announcement
+BHP rose 3.6% over the period but the option remains out of the money
+Close position as the HSCEl rallies 5.2% and we are approaching the Aug16 expiry
+Tencent jumped post better than expected earnings
+SX7E 1M 25d call / SX5E 1M 2l call price ratio is in the 100m 2-yr percentile
+Close position and BofA ML turned neutral in EM in the short-term
+Close position and BofA ML turned neutral in EM in the short-term
+Close position and BofA ML turned neutral in EM in the short-term
+Close positions from trades that have benefited thus far from the rally in Financials and weakness
+in Utilities; monetize view that Fed will not hike in September
+Take advantage of low near term vol and a steep term structure
+Unwind Oct/Jan spread and maintain Nov/Jan spread given clarity around the Italian referendum
+date
+Global macro event risk likely to keep V2X supported going into Sep expiry
+Trade provided hedging benefits during the sudden Sep market shock & has expired
+Take a loss post an disappointing market reaction on the BoJ announcement
+Take a loss post an disappointing market reaction on the BoJ announcement
+Trade expired on 3-0ct
+Our analysts no longer expect impactful catalysts in the near term; stock replacement strategies
+proved useful in cushioning downside losses during the abrupt Sep-16 sell-off vs. long equity
+positions.
+HKEx failed to rally above the first call strike and expired worthless
+NKY Oct-16 call expired out of the money
+Close position as the Oct VIX future stayed well-supported as is typically the case in the weeks
+leading up to the US presidential election
+Provided hedging benefits in the sudden equity shock in early Sep-16; now being unwound to
+mitigate decay
+DAX outperformance & low short dated DAX vol make put calendars attractive
+A catalyst-strewn fall and a remarkably low volatility summer suggests that there could be
+headwinds to continued market upside on low volatility
+Monetise steep SX5E vol curve for tactical EU upside with an upfront credit
+Take a loss as safe-haven assets post a weak performance in H2-16 with fears over Trump's
+surprise victory easing and stock markets rallying
+Add exposure via inexpensive upside on single names where positioning appears particularly

+General Investment Related Disclosures:
+Taiwan Readers: Neither the information nor any opinion expressed herein constitutes an offer or a solicitation of an offer to transact in any securities or other financial instrument. No part of
+this report may be used or reproduced or quoted in any manner whatsoever in Taiwan by the press or any other person without the express written consent of BofA Merrill Lynch.
+This research report provides general information only, and has been prepared for, and is intended for general distribution to, BofA Merrill Lynch clients. Neither the information nor any opinion
+expressed constitutes an offer or an invitation to make an offer, to buy or sell any securities or other financial instrument or any derivative related to such securities or instruments (e.g.
+options, futures, warrants, and contracts for differences). This report is not intended to provide personal investment advice and it does not take into account the specific investment objectives,
+financial situation and the particular needs of, and is not directed to, any specific person(s). This report and its content do not constitute, and should not be considered to constitute, investment
+advice for purposes of ERISA, the US tax code, the Investment Advisers Act or otherwise. Investors should seek financial advice regarding the appropriateness of investing in financial
+instruments and implementing investment strategies discussed or recommended in this report and should understand that statements regarding future prospects may not be realized. Any
+decision to purchase or subscribe for securities in any offering must be based solely on existing public information on such security or the information in the prospectus or other offering
+document issued in connection with such offering, and not on this report.
+Securities and other financial instruments discussed in this report, or recommended, offered or sold by Merrill Lynch, are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and are not
+deposits or other obligations of any insured depository institution (including, Bank of America, N.A.). Investments in general and, derivatives, in particular, involve numerous risks, including,
+among others, market risk, counterparty default risk and liquidity risk. No security, financial instrument or derivative is suitable for all investors. In some cases, securities and other financial
+instruments may be difficult to value or sell and reliable information about the value or risks related to the security or financial instrument may be difficult to obtain. Investors should note that
+income from such securities and other financial instruments, if any, may fluctuate and that price or value of such securities and instruments may rise or fall and, in some cases, investors may
+lose their entire principal investment. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. Levels and basis for taxation may change.
+This report may contain a short-term trading idea or recommendation, which highlights a specific near-term catalyst or event impacting the issuer or the market that is anticipated to have a
+short-term price impact on the equity securities of the issuer. Short-term trading ideas and recommendations are different from and do not affect a stock's fundamental equity rating, which
+reflects both a longer term total return expectation and attractiveness for investment relative to other stocks within its Coverage Cluster. Short-term trading ideas and recommendations may
+be more or less positive than a stock's fundamental equity rating.
+Futures and options are not appropriate for all investors. Such financial instruments may expire worthless. Before investing in futures or options, clients must receive the appropriate risk
+disclosure documents. Investment strategies explained in this report may not be appropriate at all times. Costs of such strategies do not include commission or margin expenses.
+BofA Merrill Lynch is aware that the implementation of the ideas expressed in this report may depend upon an investor's ability to "short" securities or other financial instruments and that such
+action may be limited by regulations prohibiting or restricting "shortselling" in many jurisdictions. Investors are urged to seek advice regarding the applicability of such regulations prior to
+executing any short idea contained in this report.

+3. BENGHAZI Attack - 9/11 (2012)
+But you have to remember that H. W. Bush was planted:
+AUTHOR PETER DALE SCOTT: Sometimes you have little deep events that most people don't even
+notice. One of those would be the Halloween Massacre. The older people remember the Saturday
+Night Massacre which happened under Nixon. I'm talking about the Halloween Massacre of October
+31, 1975, and probably people watching this show have never heard of it.
+That was under Ford, and Ford may have condoned it because it was trying to help restore his
+popularity. He was going way down in the polls. But it was a very important series of events all on the
+same night. The head of the CIA was fired, William Colby, replaced by a relatively unknown man
+called George H. W. Bush who then went on to authorize something that Colby had refused to
+authorize - the Team B report - the Team B to recalculate the Soviet threat and it was pre-
+determined. They were going to find that it was much bigger than the professionals angled like
+Raymond [inaudible] that | mentioned.
+They said Russia is less of a threat now than it used to be. Well, that was terrible news for the
+industrial complex so the Team B came in and said oh, no, no, no, it's much more of a threat than it
+used to be, and that's why we got this huge military build-up. It started actually under Carter but we
+think of it as the Reagan build-up, and that of course is a major factor in having ended the Soviet
+Union because the Soviet Union tried to match it with a weaker economy. And that arms race which
+was not about threats but was about fighting economic war, that was an arms race which you could
+say that the Soviet Union lost because they couldn't keep it up. Their economy went more and more
+downhill because they were deflecting resources away from vital domestic functions. But really I'm
+trying to talk here about the Halloween Massacre....
+Just the change in the CIA was a major historical event but it wasn't very visible. The second thing
+that happened was they fired Jim Schlesinger as Secretary of Defense... It was being done by
+[President Ford's] Chief of Staff and his assistant who are two names barely known then but quite
+famous since. Chief of staff was Donald Rumsfeld and the assistant was Dick Cheney. And that was
+the first real intrusion of the Rumsfeld-Cheney team into American politics. And they became the real
+heart of what I consider the Deep State in the 1980s when they were planning for Continuity of
+Government which was a plan for emergency rules like warrantless surveillance and warrantless
+detention and the militarization of homeland security. All those things were planned all through the
+'80s - COG planning by Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney. Even when Rumsfeld wasn't in the
+government, he was authorized by Reagan to do this planning.
+And why is that important to our history? Because in 2001, these two men were now in the
+government - Vice President and Secretary of Defense - the two top people in Washington on
+September the 11th, 2001 when Bush was down in Florida - George W. Bush - and what did they do
+on that day? They implemented the plans they had been planning for 20 years. Another major event
+in American history but it's not usually told that way.
+We implemented - it's in the 9/11 Commission Report that COG plans were implemented on that day.
+This is a huge change in our country. We now have an ARMY command, NORTHCOM, to take
+charge of America - North America, the way SOUTHCOM is in charge of South America and
+CENTCOM is in charge of Central Asia.
+This used to be illegal... We had the posse comitatus acts which said, yes, if there's a real emergency

+you could call up the ARMY to deal with the emergency, but you cannot do it on a permanent basis
+but we now do do it on a permanent basis. We haven't even bothered to repeal the posse comitatus.
+We are in a state of emergency that was declared on September the 14th, 2001. And it's still
+enforced. It has to be renewed every year. Obama did it every year just as George Bush renewed it
+every year.
+What are the roots of this? Well there are the legitimate roots that go back to fear of an atomic

+- interview of Peter Dale Scott, @ min. 32:00,
+https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNqDAYWYFuQ&t=2433s
+This all suggests that the start of the 9/11 agenda pre-dated him as well. I see now that there was a
+seemingly relevant 1990 event as well. "On September 11, 1970 - a date that only took on haunting
+overtones with the attacks on New York and Washington in 2001 -- Nixon became the first U.S.
+president to try to protect air travelers from extremists who sensed gaping vulnerabilities in security
+for commercial airliners, issuing a statement listing a string of measures including the introduction of
+100 air marshals on U.S. planes. "Most countries, including the United States, found effective means
+of dealing with piracy on the high seas a century and a half ago," Nixon said. "We can -- and we will --
+deal effectively with piracy in the skies today."
+The President had been jolted into action by the simultaneous hijackings of planes in Europe headed
+to the United States. Jets belonging to TWA, Pan Am and Swissair were seized by the Popular Front
+for the Liberation of Palestine. The group also attempted to hijack a jet over London belonging to the
+Israeli airline El Al but was thwarted by security guards on board.
+The Pan Am seizure ended quickly, but the passengers on the TWA and Swissair jets were diverted
+to a British air base in Jordan and the drama only ended after days of tense diplomacy, when the
+hostages were all released in a deal in which the Swiss, German, British and Israeli governments let
+Palestinian prisoners go.'
+." (http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/27/politics/terrorism-1970s-richard-
+nixon/index.html)
+This 9/11 response sounds quite normal of course. But fast forward and the two secret service
+individuals chosen for an April 2001 interview by a PWC staff member on behalf of what becomthe
+IBM Center for the Business of Government were (1) Steve Colo who happened to be the head of the
+division at SAIC that falsely labeled me a threat and added my name to some sort of Do Not Admit list
+at the end of a 5 month temp assignment in 2005 into early 2006. The consequence of the SAIC
+designation for me was the following:
+(| write) "The SAIC designation took advantage of a devilish stratagem in which as a national security
+employee (having filed out a SF-86 form, governed actually by the GSA -
+https://www.gsa.gov/portal/forms/download/116390 - for government clearance) working a designated
+contract in a classified facility, being designated a disturbance/dissident/threat to operations, makes
+one, in turn, a threat to national security - with all the surveillance/targeting that enables." In essence I
+was made an enemy of the State and was tracked, my family and friends turned, my opportunities
+seized to include the opportunity to rear family as demonstrated especially in the 2007 sabotage of
+my third trimester pregnancy and then the targeting and eventual capture of children I used to babysit
+- in 2011, they were predominantly tweens - to be used for sexual blackmail and other forms of
+leverage. The reason for the use of children in this barbaric way was to expend "ops" that were
+already in effect and had been used to control many of the politicians that have been allowed to rise

+compromise, the following which has been recently developing into highly coordinated murder "ops":
+(I write) "The progress that was made from the absorbing of my (small) network (and this through
+sources and methods - money and other pleasureful compensations given to those willing to
+participate in and/or coordinate violence against me and my loved ones to include children leading
+only to now their enabled targeting and the absorbing of whatever may be their networks - well, you
+see below (and this only the very tip of the iceberg) how many people they've been able to engulf and
+what advances have been made by the quite elaborate criminal class employing these tactics; and
+one also begins to better understand the events surrounding Justice Scalia's passing and what's to
+come for the 35 guests in Scalia's private party. As for Scalia's passing, it was decidedly suspicious
+as noted by William Ritchie: (The Washington Post prints) "As a former homicide commander, I am
+stunned that no autopsy was ordered for Justice Scalia," William O. Ritchie, former head of criminal
+investigations for D.C. police, wrote in a post on Facebook on Sunday... Ritchie also raised questions
+about the marshals' actions: "How can the Marshal say, without a thorough post mortem, that he was
+not injected with an illegal substance that would simulate a heart attack... Did the US Marshal check
+for petechial hemorrhage in his eyes or under his lips that would have suggested suffocation? Did the
+US Marshal smell his breath for any unusual odor that might suggest poisoning? My gut tells me
+there is something fishy going on in Texas."
+As for SAIC, the following also pertains:
+(| write) "If you first see SAIC as what's called a systems integrator (author Tim Shorrock's phrase),
+and also the formerly married Bud and Sue Horton and their two grown sons Matthew Horton and
+Ben Lanier as aids of an implementation, you can better see the bigger picture:
+(1) Sue Horton left IBM in early 2007-ish for an executive position at Tetra Tech which soon entered
+into joint venture with SAIC (Sue's employer prior to IBM, btw) on an enormous (billion dollar) 2011
+Hillary Clinton State Department award (http://www.prnewswire.com/.../saic-tetra-tech-joint-venture-
+a...);
+(2) that Bud Horton left IBM in early 2009-ish for an executive position at Accenture which soon
+thereafter entered into joint venture with SAIC spin-off Leidos, and Cerner, on an enormous (billion
+dollar) 2015 DoD award (http://www.healthcareitnews.com/.../dod-names-ehr-contract-wi...);
+(3) that the Sue Horton contract was used to grow and fortify the Afghan heroin trade (as well as
+corrupt law enforcement) although the stated intention was of course the opposite... ("[SAIC and
+Tetra Tech's] joint venture, Integrated Justice Systems International, LLC (IJSI), has been awarded a
+contract to provide worldwide civilian police and criminal justice assistance to the U.S. Department of
+State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL)... [specifically} to provide
+INL with program management, criminal justice, and life and mission support to countries emerging
+from conflict or otherwise facing instability challenges. Under this new contract, IJSI will provide
+technical assistance, training, logistics and infrastructure services to support the Department of
+State's efforts to strengthen criminal justice systems in select partner countries.")... yet, just months
+shy of contract end, the NY Times reported: "Tasked With Combating Opium, Afghan Officials Profit
+From It;" "Penetrating Every Stage of Afghan Opium Chain, Taliban become a Cartel;" and "Corrupt
+Combatants Fight for Control of Lucrative Afghan Drug Trade;" see also here an overview of the
+growth of Afghan opium production from the start of the US occupation (2001) to the present, and
+especially from contract start (2011) to end (2016): http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-spoils-of-war-

+(Note that both members of this family were awarded BILLION dollar contracts; that's quite
+exceptional, no?)
+As for terrorism as an US industry, it's hardly better seen than through the following which is
+information of course we all know:
+We note that in-between Bush #41's 9/11/1990 speech(with Dick Cheney as his Secretary of
+Defense) and the 9/11/2001 attack on the WTC were little more than Clinton's 8 years in the White
+House. We look also to The American Deep State by Peter Dale Scott for evidence of ties between
+the actions of the Clinton administration and (1) the 1993 attack on the WTC and (2) the 1998 attack
+on the US embassy in Nairobi, Kenya which demonstrate that the Clinton administration in no
+uncertain terms sponsored terrorism:
+(Writes Scott) "The homicidal crime suggested by Fenton's meticulous research is one both difficult
+and painful to contemplate. It has to be considered in the light of the earlier instances of protection we
+have surveyed:
+1. the protection given to Salameh and Abouhalima in the 1990 Kahane murder, leaving them free to
+participate in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing;
+2. the failure for two or three years to process Ali Mohamed's documents seized in 1990, which could
+have prevented the 1993 World Trade Center bombing;
+3. the release of Ali Mohamed from Royal Canadian Mounted Police detention in 1993, leaving him
+free to participate in the 1998 Nairobi Embassy bombing;
+4. the treatment of Ali Mohamed as an "unindicted coconspirator" in the 1993 WTC bombing case
+and Landmarks case, leaving him free to participate in the 1998 Nairobi Embassy bombing.
+(pp. 76-77, The American Deep State)
+Scott had earlier examined these attacks in especial connection to the September 11, 2001 attack on
+the WTC:
+(Writes Scott) "For indeed it is certain that on various occasions U.S. agencies have intervened,
+letting al-Qaeda terrorists proceed with their plots. This alarming statement will be dismissed by some
+as "conspiracy theory." Yet in this chapter, I will show that this claim doesn't to arise from theory, but
+from facts that are true, even though they have been systemically suppressed or under-reported in
+the American mainstream media. I am describing a phenomenon that occurred not just once, but
+repeatedly, almost predictably. We shall see that, among the al-Qaeda terrorists who were first
+protected and then continued their activities were the following:
+1. Ali Mohamed, identified in the 9/11 Commission Report as the leader of the 1998 Nairobi Embassy
+bombing;
+2. Mohammed Jamal Khalife, Osama bin Laden's close friend and, while in the Philippines, financier
+of both Ramzi Yousef (principal architect of the first World Trade Center [WTC] attack) and his uncle
+Khalid Sheikh Mohammed;

+4. Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, two of the alleged 9/11 hijackers, whose presence in the
+United States was concealed from the FBI by ClA officers for months before 9/11.
+It might sound from these citations that the 9/11 Commission marked a new stage in the U.S.
+treatment of these terrorists, and that the report now exposed those terrorists who in the past had
+been protected. On the contrary, a principal purpose of my chapter is to show that
+1. one purpose of protecting these individuals had been to protect a valued intelligence connection
+(the "al-Qaeda connection," if you will);
+2. one major intention of the 9/11 Commission Report was to continue protecting this connection;
+3. those on the 9/11 Commission staff who were charged with this protection included at least one
+commission member (Jamie Gorelick), one staff member (Dietrich Snell), and one important witness
+(Patrick Fitzgerald) who earlier had figured among the terrorists' protectors.
+In the course of writing this chapter [Scott continues], I came to another disturbing conclusion I had
+not anticipated. This is that a central feature of the protection has been to defend the 9/11
+Commission's false picture of al-Qaeda as an example of non-state terrorism, ignoring not just the
+CIA but also the royal families of Saudi Arabia and Qatar. In reality, as I shall show, royal family
+protection from Qatar and Saudi Arabia (concealed by the 9/11 Commission) was repeatedly given to
+key figures like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged "principal architect of the 9/11 attacks." The
+establishment claims that the wars fought by America in Asia since 9/11 have been part of a global
+"war on terror." But this "war on terror" has been fought in alliance with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and
+Pakistan - precisely the principal political and financial backers of the al-Qaedist networks the United
+States has supposedly been fighting. Meanwhile the most authentic opponents in the region of these
+Sunni al-Qaedists - the governments of Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Iran - have found themselves
+overthrown (in the case of Iraq and Libya), subverted with U.S. support (in the case of Syria), or
+sanctioned and threatened as part of an "axis of evil" (in the case of Iran). We should not forget that,
+just one day after 9/11, "Rumsfeld was talking about broadening the objectives of our response and
+'getting Irag.'

+To return to Steve Colo - in the interview he speaks of a partnership between the Secret Service, the
+FBI, and South Carolina's SLED (State Law Enforcement Division) to open a Computer Crime Center.
+Bud Horton (mentioned above) (long-affiliated with IT Security; his title at Accenture was Chief
+technology officer of it's cyber security practice) happened to have just moved to South Carolina from
+Loudoun County after being implicated in a continuing child sex scandal (see details below). Further,
+cyber-crime just so happens to be another of the arenas in which our Intelligence Community

+Quite an interesting article about the litigation between Deputy Banks and Rusty Rogers (see:
+Deputy Banks' attorney claims FDLE agent's credibility 'destroyed') It must also be explored, of

+financing network that permeated the sunny state of Florida - (the NY Times reports) "Agent Rodgers
+joined the state's elite investigative unit, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, where he
+quickly earned agent-of-the-year honors — and a meeting with the governor - for helping dismantle
+a terrorist financing network that stretched from Florida to the Middle East" - and that terrorism is very

+sabotaged. The story of this sabotage and what followed is (briefly) this:
+I've long-alleged that John and Avery Gunther (whose children I used to babysit) agreed to a quid pro
+quo exchange of financial compensation for help destroying my credibility on behalf of IBM against
+whom l'd filed a 2010 EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) charge and a subsequent
+May 2011 civil suit.
+Per the May 11, 2011 Complaint, McGuire v. John and Avery Gunther:
+3. On April 6, 2011 Mr. and Mrs Gunther, with uncontrolled greed and total disregard for the rights
+and feelings of Ms. Nadine McGuire as well as those of their children, AFG and XWG, maliciously
+and with ill-intent, wrongfully completed and executed a Complaint and Motion for Preliminary
+Injunction requesting formal protection against Ms. Nadine McGuire.
+4. Over the course of the previous few months, Mr. and Mrs. Gunther, colluding with persons against
+whom Ms. Nadine McGuire is currently furthering litigation, including but not limited to plaintiff's
+mother, Pauline Scala McGuire, and from whom they received and/or have been promised to receive
+monetary incentives, hid their relationships with said individuals, further lied about having those
+relationships in direct conversation with Ms. Nadine McGuire and Court testimony on May 4, 2011,
+and wrongfully completed and executed a Complaint and Motion for Preliminary Injunction against
+Ms. Nadine McGuire in cooperation and collaboration with said persons, resulting in the issuance of a
+Temporary Restraining Order against Ms. Nadine McGuire issued on April 6, 2011.
+- Initial Complaint, 5/11/11, McGuire v. John and Avery Gunther, Case No.:2011 CA 003703 B, DC
+Superior Court, Judge Gregory Jackson presiding
+In regards to the suit against IBM (McGuire v. IBM, 1:11CV528, US District Court of Virginia), the only
+suit in which Pauline Scala McGuire was listed as a defendant, the most important claim was one of
+"assault" that led to the 2007 death of my son. Per the filing:
+Plaintiff, Grace Nadine McGuire, realleges the allegations of paragraphs 1-65 hereof as if fully set
+forth within and further alleges:
+66. Defendant Palmisano's conduct in ascertaining the drug that was used on the plaintiff to end her
+pregnancy and take the life of her child on April 22, 2007, constitutes an intentional touching of the
+plaintiff by defendant Palmisano, and was undertaken deliberately and with actual malice towards the
+plaintiff and her unborn child.
+67. Defendant Skoog, Susan Horton and Scala's conduct in coordinating the circumstances, creating
+physical proximity and the administering of the drug to the plaintiff that ended her pregnancy and took
+the life of her child on April 22, 2007 constituted an intentional touching of the plaintiff by said
+defendants, and was undertaken deliberately and with actual malice towards the plaintiff and her
+unborn child.
+... 69. As the direct and proximate result of defendant Palmisano, Skoog, Susan Horton, and Scala's
+conduct, the plaintiff suffered a severe placental abruption, which terminated her pregnancy and
+ended the life of her unborn child, causing the plaintiff to suffer damages including but not limited to
+the loss of her child, loss of affection, grief, sorrow, extreme mental torment and emotional distress.

+This is to say that John and Avery Gunther helped IBM defend against an allegation of murder, and in
+this way they are accomplices to a cover-up. This is also to say that the characterization provided by
+John and Avery Gunther in their April 2011 Superior Court filing for a Protection Order against me
+and their admissions in this filing of having provided derogatory information to various persons and/or
+entities in the DC area to include school administrators, psychologists, and law enforcement, were
+more to harm me, especially in my chances to hold IBM accountable, than to protect either
+themselves or children Anjulee and Xian Gunther.
+I also long-allege that the relationship that developed from this initial quid pro quo led to John and
+Avery Gunther being similarly compensated for what turned into the sexual exploitation of their two
+daughters. For more on child sexual exploitation for the sake of personal and professional leverage,
+see especially the following:

+otherwise has gone to extents to protect Cathie Skoog and her co-conspirators at IBM and otherwise
+is all that was needed to have adequately turned the organization towards the interests of the Deep

+Jeffrey Epstein in context:
+(As sent to the Wash Post)
+I send you this in response to the recent column entitled Believe in the Process by Kenneth Starr.
+Perhaps rethink any public affiliation with Ken Starr; although his demeanor on paper is undoubtably
+consoling, it is also a bit intoxifying when it would be best now if we keep our wits about us, no?
+I say this from the following perspective - Ken Starr of the Starr Report, attorney for (1) Erik Prince of
+Blackwater and (2) convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in context:
+The Starr Report buried behind salacious detail of the Lewinsky affair almost nothing of Whitewater,
+Travelgate, or otherwise what many consider the murder of Vince Foster (Foster, albeit the subject of
+a different investigation was also under the purview of attorney Starr and formal investigation of the
+results of Starr's investigation were drowned out by the details of the Lewinsky affair.) This is a bit
+strange considering the Lewinsky affair was a moral failing and not an actionable criminal one as
+would have been the others had any proof surfaced.
+Starr later defended Blackwater against wrongful deaths suit initiated by the families of the 2004
+Fallujah Ambush victims - "In October 2006, Blackwater hired one of the nation's heaviest-hitting
+lawyers to represent it - Kenneth Starr, the independent counsel in the 1999 impeachment of
+President Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal.... Starr and his colleagues argued that
+Blackwater was "constitutionally immune" from such lawsuits and said that if the Fallujah case were
+allowed to proceed, "Blackwater will suffer irreparable harm." In the eighteen-page petition to the
+Supreme Court, Blackwater argued that there are no other such lawsuits against private
+military/security companies in state courts "because the comprehensive regulatory scheme enacted
+by Congress and the President grant military contractors like Blackwater immunity from state-court
+litigation." (pp. 234-235, Blackwater). (Author Ken Davis writes) "The four men had spent the night

+Erik Prince is (becoming) no less an Amer. intelligence success story than bin Laden (in support of
+Terrorism as Geostrategy & a New World Order - see below). In short: (we note the repeating 9/11s,
+every 11 years): "Toward a NWO" speech by Bush #41 - Sept. 11 ('90); The WTC - Sept. 11 ('01);
+Benghazi - Sept. 11 (12). (There is rhy. & reason also 2 the rise of ISIS.)
+***
+About training camps:
+I watched so to speak the creating of little torture pockets around the world as justified by Obama's
+desire to close Gitmo. The White House reports (2/23/16): "We'll continue to securely and responsibly
+transfer to other countries the 35 detainees already approved for transfer. This process involves
+extensive and careful coordination across our federal government to ensure that our national security
+interests are met when an individual is transferred to another country. We insist, for example, that
+foreign countries institute strong security measures." But are these not just the seeds of new training
+camps (growing concentrated and lauded violent temperaments) & was that not someone's exact
+intent?
+In real-time (and as perpetrated on captured children):
+3/19/14, sent to the now defunct FB page of D. Cheney:
+Dick Cheney,
+I wonder if it's possible that there is coordination with other countries concerning enhanced
+interrogation techniques, in the form of training perhaps?
+Specifically, here in the United States, my sense is that there may be the use of vulnerable
+populations, with the intension to gain favor with and/or intimidate others, especially members of the
+international community.

+You both are interesting; you let us see what's to become of the Scalia 35 (see below; at bottom,
+Ghislaine Maxwell's Jeffrey Epstein in context.)
+*
+We start from this following precept: (the repeating 9/11s)
+1. "Toward a New World Order" speech by Pres. George H.W. Bush - 9/11 (1990)
+2. WTC Attack - 9/11 (2001)
+3. BENGHAZI Attack - 9/11 (2012)
+But you have to remember that H. W. Bush was planted:
+AUTHOR PETER DALE SCOTT: Sometimes you have little deep events that most people don't even
+notice. One of those would be the Halloween Massacre. The older people remember the Saturday
+Night Massacre which happened under Nixon. I'm talking about the Halloween Massacre of October
+31, 1975, and probably people watching this show have never heard of it.
+That was under Ford, and Ford may have condoned it because it was trying to help restore his
+popularity. He was going way down in the polls. But it was a very important series of events all on
+the same night. The head of the CIA was fired, William Colby, replaced by a relatively unknown man
+called George H. W. Bush who then went on to authorize something that Colby had refused to
+authorize - the Team B report - the Team B to recalculate the Soviet threat and it was pre-
+determined. They were going to find that it was much bigger than the professionals angled like
+Raymond [inaudible] that I mentioned.
+They said Russia is less of a threat now than it used to be. Well, that was terrible news for the
+industrial complex so the Team B came in and said oh, no, no, no, it's much more of a threat than it
+used to be, and that's why we got this huge military build-up. It started actually under Carter but we
+think of it as the Reagan build-up, and that of course is a major factor in having ended the Soviet
+Union because the Soviet Union tried to match it with a weaker economy. And that arms race which
+was not about threats but was about fighting economic war, that was an arms race which you could
+say that the Soviet Union lost because they couldn't keep it up. Their economy went more and more
+downhill because they were deflecting resources away from vital domestic functions. But really I'm
+trying to talk here about the Halloween Massacre...
+Just the change in the CIA was a major historical event but it wasn't very visible. The second thing
+that happened was they fired Jim Schlesinger as Secretary of Defense... It was being done by
+[President Ford's] Chief of Staff and his assistant who are two names barely known then but quite
+famous since. Chief of staff was Donald Rumsfeld and the assistant was Dick Cheney. And that was
+the first real intrusion of the Rumsfeld-Cheney team into American politics. And they became the real
+heart of what I consider the Deep State in the 1980s when they were planning for Continuity of
+Government which was a plan for emergency rules like warrantless surveillance and warrantless
+detention and the militarization of homeland security. All those things were planned all through the
+'80s - COG planning by Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney. Even when Rumsfeld wasn't in the
+government, he was authorized by Reagan to do this planning.
+And why is that important to our history? Because in 2001, these two men were now in the
+government - Vice President and Secretary of Defense - the two top people in Washington on

+September the 11th, 2001 when Bush was down in Florida - George W. Bush - and what did they do
+on that day? They implemented the plans they had been planning for 20 years. Another major event
+in American history but it's not usually told that way.
+We implemented - it's in the 9/11 Commission Report that COG plans were implemented on that
+day. This is a huge change in our country. We now have an ARMY command, NORTHCOM, to take
+charge of America - North America, the way SOUTHCOM is in charge of South America and
+CENTCOM is in charge of Central Asia.
+This used to be illegal... We had the posse comitatus acts which said, yes, if there's a real
+emergency you could call up the ARMY to deal with the emergency, but you cannot do it on a
+permanent basis but we now do do it on a permanent basis. We haven't even bothered to repeal the
+posse comitatus. We are in a state of emergency that was declared on September the 14th, 2001.
+And it's still enforced. It has to be renewed every year. Obama did it every year just as George Bush
+renewed it every year.
+What are the roots of this? Well there are the legitimate roots that go back to fear of an atomic
+decapitation of the government back in the Truman era, so legitimate COG planning goes back to
+Truman and Eisenhower, but the illegitimate use of COG to deal with any emergnecy you like, that

+This all suggests that the start of the 9/11 agenda pre-dated him as well. I see now that there was a
+seemingly relevant 1990 event as well. "On September 11, 1970 -- a date that only took on haunting
+overtones with the attacks on New York and Washington in 2001 -- Nixon became the first U.S.
+president to try to protect air travelers from extremists who sensed gaping vulnerabilities in security
+for commercial airliners, issuing a statement listing a string of measures including the introduction of
+100 air marshals on U.S. planes. "Most countries, including the United States, found effective means
+of dealing with piracy on the high seas a century and a half ago," Nixon said. "We can -- and we will -
+- deal effectively with piracy in the skies today."
+The President had been jolted into action by the simultaneous hijackings of planes in Europe headed
+to the United States. Jets belonging to TWA, Pan Am and Swissair were seized by the Popular Front
+for the Liberation of Palestine. The group also attempted to hijack a jet over London belonging to the
+Israeli airline El Al but was thwarted by security guards on board.
+The Pan Am seizure ended quickly, but the passengers on the TWA and Swissair jets were diverted
+to a British air base in Jordan and the drama only ended after days of tense diplomacy, when the
+hostages were all released in a deal in which the Swiss, German, British and Israeli governments let
+Palestinian prisoners go." (http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/27/politics/terrorism-1970s-richard-

+This 9/11 response sounds quite normal of course. But fast forward and the two secret service
+individuals chosen for an April 2001 interview by a PWC staff member on behalf of what becomthe

+As for terrorism as an US industry, it's hardly better seen than through the following which is
+information of course we all know:
+We note that in-between Bush #41's 9/11/1990 speech(with Dick Cheney as his Secretary of
+Defense) and the 9/11/2001 attack on the WTC were little more than Clinton's 8 years in the White
+House. We look also to The American Deep State by Peter Dale Scott for evidence of ties between
+the actions of the Clinton administration and (1) the 1993 attack on the WTC and (2) the 1998 attack
+on the US embassy in Nairobi, Kenya which demonstrate that the Clinton administration in no
+uncertain terms sponsored terrorism:
+(Writes Scott) "The homicidal crime suggested by Fenton's meticulous research is one both difficult
+and painful to contemplate. It has to be considered in the light of the earlier instances of protection
+we have surveyed:
+1. the protection given to Salameh and Abouhalima in the 1990 Kahane murder, leaving them free to
+participate in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing;
+2. the failure for two or three years to process Ali Mohamed's documents seized in 1990, which could
+have prevented the 1993 World Trade Center bombing;
+3. the release of Ali Mohamed from Royal Canadian Mounted Police detention in 1993, leaving him
+free to participate in the 1998 Nairobi Embassy bombing;
+4. the treatment of Ali Mohamed as an "unindicted coconspirator" in the 1993 WTC bombing case
+and Landmarks case, leaving him free to participate in the 1998 Nairobi Embassy bombing.

+once, but repeatedly, almost predictably. We shall see that, among the al-Qaeda terrorists who were
+first protected and then continued their activities were the following:
+1. Ali Mohamed, identified in the 9/11 Commission Report as the leader of the 1998 Nairobi
+Embassy bombing;
+2. Mohammed Jamal Khalife, Osama bin Laden's close friend and, while in the Philippines, financier
+of both Ramzi Yousef (principal architect of the first World Trade Center [WTC] attack) and his uncle
+Khalid Sheikh Mohammed;
+3. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, identified in the 9/11 Commission Report as "the principal architect of
+the 9/11 attacks";
+4. Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, two of the alleged 9/11 hijackers, whose presence in the
+United States was concealed from the FBI by CIA officers for months before 9/11.
+It might sound from these citations that the 9/11 Commission marked a new stage in the U.S.
+treatment of these terrorists, and that the report now exposed those terrorists who in the past had
+been protected. On the contrary, a principal purpose of my chapter is to show that
+1. one purpose of protecting these individuals had been to protect a valued intelligence connection
+(the "al-Qaeda connection," if you will);
+2. one major intention of the 9/11 Commission Report was to continue protecting this connection;
+3. those on the 9/11 Commission staff who were charged with this protection included at least one
+commission member (Jamie Gorelick), one staff member (Dietrich Snell), and one important witness
+(Patrick Fitzgerald) who earlier had figured among the terrorists' protectors.
+In the course of writing this chapter [Scott continues], I came to another disturbing conclusion I had
+not anticipated. This is that a central feature of the protection has been to defend the 9/11
+Commission's false picture of al-Qaeda as an example of non-state terrorism, ignoring not just the
+CIA but also the royal families of Saudi Arabia and Qatar. In reality, as I shall show, royal family
+protection from Qatar and Saudi Arabia (concealed by the 9/11 Commission) was repeatedly given
+to key figures like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged "principal architect of the 9/11 attacks." The
+establishment claims that the wars fought by America in Asia since 9/11 have been part of a global
+"war on terror." But this "war on terror" has been fought in alliance with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and
+Pakistan - precisely the principal political and financial backers of the al-Qaedist networks the United
+States has supposedly been fighting. Meanwhile the most authentic opponents in the region of these
+Sunni al-Qaedists - the governments of Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Iran - have found themselves
+overthrown (in the case of Iraq and Libya), subverted with U.S. support (in the case of Syria), or
+sanctioned and threatened as part of an "axis of evil" (in the case of Iran). We should not forget that,
+just one day after 9/11, "Rumsfeld was talking about broadening the objectives of our response and
+'getting Iraq.'"

+The initiative has adjusted in some ways over time, but homage to 9/11 remains strong. Certain of

+legislation rushed through Congress in the aftermath of the 9/11 (2001) attack) was born on the
+magical September 11th (this is Jeh Johnson); similarly, it is again being deemed a sign that the new
+Director of the National Science Foundation (NSF) (chosen and positioned as she was) is first-
+named France (last name Cordova) and that this name so perfectly relates to US intentions to use
+the NSF to forward "ops" that will solidify a US-France working relationship in the same way the
+2005 London Bombings helped solidify the US-British working relationship. These France going-ons
+are in higher gear (l've noticed) since Macron was elected but it was prepped for long ago. I was
+working for IBM under IBM project manager Cathie Skoog at the NSF when my third trimester
+pregnancy was sabotaged. The story of this sabotage and what followed is (briefly) this:
+I've long-alleged that John and Avery Gunther (whose children I used to babysit) agreed to a quid
+pro quo exchange of financial compensation for help destroying my credibility on behalf of IBM
+against whom l'd filed a 2010 EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) charge and a
+subsequent May 2011 civil suit.
+Per the May 11, 2011 Complaint, McGuire v. John and Avery Gunther:
+3. On April 6, 2011 Mr. and Mrs Gunther, with uncontrolled greed and total disregard for the rights
+and feelings of Ms. Nadine McGuire as well as those of their children, AFG and XWG, maliciously
+and with ill intent, wrongfully completed and executed a Complaint and Motion for Preliminary
+Injunction requesting formal protection against Ms. Nadine McGuire.
+4. Over the course of the previous few months, Mr. and Mrs. Gunther, colluding with persons against
+whom Ms. Nadine McGuire is currently furthering litigation, including but not limited to plaintiff's
+mother, Pauline Scala McGuire, and from whom they received and/or have been promised to receive
+monetary incentives, hid their relationships with said individuals, further lied about having those
+relationships in direct conversation with Ms. Nadine McGuire and Court testimony on May 4, 2011,
+and wrongfully completed and executed a Complaint and Motion for Preliminary Injunction against
+Ms. Nadine McGuire in cooperation and collaboration with said persons, resulting in the issuance of

+This is to say that John and Avery Gunther helped IBM defend against an allegation of murder, and
+in this way they are accomplices to a cover-up. This is also to say that the characterization provided
+by John and Avery Gunther in their April 2011 Superior Court filing for a Protection Order against me
+and their admissions in this filing of having provided derogatory information to various persons
+and/or entities in the DC area to include school administrators, psychologists, and law enforcement,
+were more to harm me, especially in my chances to hold IBM accountable, than to protect either
+themselves or children Anjulee and Xian Gunther.
+I also long-allege that the relationship that developed from this initial quid pro quo led to John and
+Avery Gunther being similarly compensated for what turned into the sexual exploitation of their two
+daughters. For more on child sexual exploitation for the sake of personal and professional leverage,
+see especially the following:
+Nick Bryant | The Franklin Scandal & The Elite's Pedophilia Cover Up,

+That the NSF won't acknowledge the abuse, and won't respond even to my FOIA requests, and
+otherwise has gone to extents to protect Cathie Skoog and her co-conspirators at IBM and otherwise
+is all that was needed to have adequately turned the organization towards the interests of the Deep

+Blackwater and (2) convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in context:
+The Starr Report buried behind salacious detail of the Lewinsky affair almost nothing of Whitewater,
+Travelgate, or otherwise what many consider the murder of Vince Foster (Foster, albeit the subject
+of a different investigation was also under the purview of attorney Starr and formal investigation of
+the results of Starr's investigation were drowned out by the details of the Lewinsky affair.) This is a
+bit strange considering the Lewinsky affair was a moral failing and not an actionable criminal one as
+would have been the others had any proof surfaced.

+Starr later defended Blackwater against wrongful deaths suit initiated by the families of the 2004
+Fallujah Ambush victims - "In October 2006, Blackwater hired one of the nation's heaviest-hitting
+lawyers to represent it - Kenneth Starr, the independent counsel in the 1999 impeachment of
+President Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal... Starr and his colleagues argued that
+Blackwater was "constitutionally immune" from such lawsuits and said that if the Fallujah case were
+allowed to proceed, "Blackwater will suffer irreparable harm." In the eighteen-page petition to the
+Supreme Court, Blackwater argued that there are no other such lawsuits against private
+military/security companies in state courts "because the comprehensive regulatory scheme enacted
+by Congress and the President grant military contractors like Blackwater immunity from state-court
+litigation." (pp. 234-235, Blackwater). (Author Ken Davis writes) "The four men had spent the night
+before they set off at marine base Camp Fallujah. But the men kept their distance from the
+leathernecks. Had they spoken to the marines, the Blackwater team might have learned that the
+Americans were already in the midst of a major offensive meant to assert control over the
+increasingly restive city, where elements of the radical Islamist movement and remnants of
+Saddam's army were beginning to aggressively strike back. at the American occupation" (p. 306,
+The Hidden History of American at War), and perhaps this is the only thing that makes sense of the
+fact that "Under the terms of its contract, Blackwater was supposed to supply these convoy security
+missions with two SUVs, each carrying three guards per vehicle; a driver, one man riding shotgun,
+and a third man in back with a heavy machine gun. Instead, the foursome set out that morning with
+just two men per car, each vehicle missing their rear gunner. The SUVs were only outfitted with a
+steel plate as extra armor. And the men had not been given maps." (p. 305).
+Starr went on to defend Jeffrey Epstein abasing allegations of child sex trafficking - "Along with a
+dream team of attorneys that included Gerald Lefcourt, Roy Black, and Ken Starr, [Alan Dershowitz]
+was successful in getting federal investigators not to charge Epstein with moving his victims across
+state lines and other associated crimes. The federal non-prosecution agreement Epstein's legal team
+negotiated with the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida immunized all named and
+unnamed "potential co-conspirators" in Epstein's child trafficking network, which includes those who
+allegedly procured minors for Epstein and also any powerbrokers who may have molested them" (-
+http://gawker.com/flight-logs-put-clinton-dershowitz-on-ped...). Otherwise, Epstein's eventual 18
+month sentence by the state of Florida was exceptionally light under the circumstances to include
+the number of victims who came forward with testimony. This is best understood in the context of
+children being used as a means to government-sponsored sexual blackmail and other forms of
+leverage.

+About BL: "Bin Laden established camps inside Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan and trained

+Republic of Afghanistan" (Wikipedia)
+About EP: "In his autobiography, he states that during the Yugoslav Wars in the early 1990s, he

+Beach and personally financed the formation of Blackwater Worldwide in 1997. He bought 6,000

+Erik Prince is (becoming) no less an Amer. intelligence success story than bin Laden (in support of

+Benghazi - Sept. 11 ('12). (There is rhy. & reason also 2 the rise of ISIS.)
+***
+About training camps:
+I watched so to speak the creating of little torture pockets around the world as justified by Obama's
+desire to close Gitmo. The White House reports (2/23/16): "We'll continue to securely and
+responsibly transfer to other countries the 35 detainees already approved for transfer. This process
+involves extensive and careful coordination across our federal government to ensure that our
+national security interests are met when an individual is transferred to another country. We insist, for
+example, that foreign countries institute strong security measures." But are these not just the seeds
+of new training camps (growing concentrated and lauded violent temperaments) & was that not
+someone's exact intent?
+In real-time (and as perpetrated on captured children):
+3/19/14, sent to the now defunct FB page of D. Cheney:
+Dick Cheney,
+I wonder if it's possible that there is coordination with other countries concerning enhanced
+interrogation techniques, in the form of training perhaps?
+Specifically, here in the United States, my sense is that there may be the use of vulnerable
+populations, with the intension to gain favor with and/or intimidate others, especially members of the
+international community.

+Fight to reopen teen sex case
+against Jeff Epstein may set
+precedent
+LOCAL
+By Jane Musgrave - Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
+UMA SANGHM
+Jeffrey Epstein, the wealthy Palm Beach resident charged with having teenage girls give him sexual massages, pleaded guilty to
+prostitution solicitation charges in Palm Beach County Circuit Court on June 20, 2008. (Uma Sanghvi / The Palm Beach Post)
+Posted: 8:00 a.m. Saturday, August 26, 2017
+WEST PALM BEACH - Nearly 10 years after billionaire Jeffrey Epstein signed a plea deal that let him
+escape federal prosecution on charges of sexually abusing dozens of teenage girls at his Palm Beach
+mansion, the 64-year-old politically-connected money manager faces the possibility that the agreement
+could be thrown out.
+In court papers filed this month, attorneys representing two of the 30 young women prosecutors say
+Epstein molested lodged their final written pleas aimed at spurring U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra
+to force federal officials to reopen their investigation into the sordid case.
+U.S. government lawyers in September will have
+another chance to defend themselves against allegations that they violated the federal Crime Victims'
+Rights Act by failing to alert Epstein's victims of the terms of what some describe as a "sweetheart
+deal." Marra could make a decision as early as this fall.
+The stakes for all crime victims are high, said attorneys Bradley Edwards and Paul Cassell, who filed
+the rare lawsuit against the federal government on behalf of two Jane Does who were 13 and 14 when
+they claim Epstein paid them for sex.
+If Marra dismisses the lawsuit, "then the government will never have to give any information in any

+Could U.S. case against sex offender Jeffrey Epstein be reopened?
+http://www.mypalmbeachpost.com/news/crime--law/fight-reopen-teen-s.
+case to any victim," they wrote, urging him to uphold the provisions of the 13-year-old federal law.
+At the same time, the stakes are equally high for Epstein, who has ferried President Bill Clinton on his
+private jet and counts celebrities, such as Britain's Prince Andrew, as friends.
+Marra has already ruled that if he finds that federal prosecutors violated the act, he will consider
+throwing out the plea deal that Epstein signed with federal prosecutors in 2007. Miami attorney Roy
+Black, one of dozens of high-profile lawyers who has represented Epstein, claims that would be
+manifestly unfair.
+As part of the unusual non-prosecution agreement, which wasn't shared with victims for nearly a year
+while and after it was being negotiated, federal prosecutors agreed not to pursue charges that could
+have sent Epstein to prison for life. In exchange, Epstein in 2008 pleaded guilty in Palm Beach County
+Circuit Court to two Florida criminal charges - one count each of soliciting a minor for prostitution and
+soliciting prostitution. He served 13 months of an 18-month sentence in a vacant wing of the county
+stockade — a cell he was allowed to leave 16 hours a day, six days a week.
+Epstein, who now spends most of his time on his private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, also is
+required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. In addition, as part of the plea deal, he paid
+roughly 30 women, who were identified by prosecutors as his victims, undisclosed amounts of money
+to settle civil lawsuits they had filed against him.
+To throw out the deal after Epstein has been punished would rob him of his constitutional right to due
+process, Black wrote in court papers. "If a defendant lives up to his end of the bargain, the government
+is bound to perform its promises," he wrote, quoting a prior court decision.
+However, Edwards and Cassell claim that because federal prosecutors didn't confer with their clients
+about the plea deal before it was made, they violated the law and that makes the non-prosecution
+agreement illegal. They cited examples where plea deals have been invalidated after judges later
+found prosecutors violated the crime victims' rights law.
+In most of the cases they cited, the mistakes were the result of oversights. But Edward and Cassell
+wrote, "The undisputed facts of this case prove that, rather than forthrightly discharging its obligations
+to numerous child sexual assault victims, the government chose to enter into a secret deal with the
+man who had victimized them."
+Federal prosecutors have said they didn't reveal the terms of the non-prosecution agreement because
+they feared Epstein and his high-powered attorneys were trying to circumvent it. Still, Edwards and
+Cassell, said there was no justification for the secrecy.
+"The government's conduct here was particularly egregious, because it repeatedly found time to confer
+with attorneys for Epstein
+— the man who sexually abused the victims," they said of emails and
+meetings between federal prosecutors, including U.S. Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, who was then
+U.S. attorney for South Florida.
+In an affidavit, Edwards said Assistant U.S. Attorney Marie Villafana, who was handling Epstein's case,
+had numerous chances to tell him and the young women he represented about the non-prosecution
+agreement. Instead, four months after the agreement was signed in September 2007, federal officials
+wrote victims letters, assuring them the case was still under investigation.
+"This can be a lengthy process and we request your continued patience while we conduct a thorough
+investigation," officials wrote in a January 2008 letter to Edwards' clients.
+In court papers, Villafana said she alerted Edwards the day before Epstein was to plead guilty in circuit
+court, hoping that Edwards, his clients and other alleged victims would attend the hearing. But
+Edwards said neither he nor the young women had any idea that the plea in state court meant Epstein
+wouldn't be prosecuted for federal crimes.
+"The victims (and their attorneys) could hardly have expected that the prosecutors and the man who
+had sexually abused them would be working together to conceal an arrangement that would prevent
+his prosecution for crimes against them," Edwards and Cassell wrote.
+While Judge Marra could allow a jury to decide the complex case, prosecutors are asking him to toss
+the women's lawsuit and end the litigation.

+Edwards and Cassell instead want him to rule that prosecutors violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act.
+Once that determination is made, Marra could then decide what remedies to impose, the two lawyers
+argue.
+Under the act, neither of their clients can seek "damages" from the government but the attorneys have
+suggested Marra could order the government to pay the women restitution, impose a monetary
+sanction and pay their legal fees.
+Still, Cassell insisted: "This isn't about money, it's about justice."
+Cassell, who is a law professor at the University of Utah, said the case is being watched closely by
+victims' rights advocates along with federal lawmakers who pushed the legislation through Congress
+and have publicly questioned prosecutors' handling of Epstein's case.
+A decision ordering federal prosecutors to reopen the investigation could establish a national
+precedent, he said. "It will be a big win for the victims," Cassell said. "That's the way we look at it."

+What They Say About the Author
+"Paul's own writing, in particular, seemed daring and adventurous to
+me; it took big chances and made important arguments in relentlessly funny
+ways. I felt, down deep, that maybe I had some of that in me, too; that maybe
+I could be using my skills to better express my beliefs. The Realist was the
+inspiration that kept pushing me to the next level; there was no way I could
+continue reading it and remain the same."
+--George Carlin
+"Paul Krassner--confidant of Lenny Bruce, co-founder of the Yippies,
+defiler of Disney characters, publisher of The Realist, and investigative
+satirist extraordinaire. As soon as we decided to create the Huffington Post, I
+knew I wanted him involved. His irreverence was just what the blog doctor
+ordered."
+-Arianna Huffington
+"Thanks to Paul Krassner for continuing to be the lobster claw in the
+tuna casserole of modern America."
+--Tom Robbins
+"Krassner loves ironies, especially stinging ironies that nettle public
+figures. He would rather savor a piquant irony about a public figure than eat a
+bowl of fresh strawberries and ice cream."
+--Ken Kesey
+"I told Krassner one time that his writings made me hopeful. He found
+this an odd compliment to offer a satirist. I explained that he made supposedly
+serious matters seem ridiculous, and that this inspired many of his readers to
+decide for themselves what was ridiculous and what was not. Knowing that
+there were people doing that, better late than never, made me optimistic."
+--Kurt Vonnegut
+"Mr. Krassner is an expert at ferreting out hypocrisy and absurdism
+from the more solemn crannies of American culture."
+--The New York Times
+"Krassner has the uncanny ability to alter your perceptions
+permanently."

+--The Los Angeles Times
+"He has lived on the edge so long, he gets his mailed delivered there."
+--San Francisco Chronicle
+"Krassner lives in a world where Truth and Satire are swingers,
+changing partners so often you never know who belongs with whom."
+--Playboy
+"Perhaps the satire magazine that most closely resembles Charlie
+Hebdo in terms of inflammatory imagery was The Realist, created by Paul
+Krassner.."
+-- 1ime
+"Paul taught me that extreme stylistic accuracy could make even the
+most bizarre comedic concept credible. He is a unique character on the
+American landscape. A self-described 'investigative satirist,' he straddles the
+lines between politics, culture, pornography and drugs - in other words, the
+land where all of us, were we really honest with ourselves, would choose to
+dwell."
+--Harry Shearer
+"I have been a fan of his since I was a snot-nosed kid, and his words
+have been a driving force and influence on my life. If you have read his work
+before, you know the joys that you are in for. If you haven't, start reading,
+and consider this your lucky day. For Paul Krassner is an activist, a
+philosopher, a lunatic and a saint, but most of all he is funny."
+--Lewis Black
+Many of the pieces in this collection originally appeared in The Realist, High
+Times, AVN, N.Y. Press, National Lampoon, The Nation, L.A. Times, Whole
+Earth Review, Huffington Post, Alternet, CounterPunch, and Truthdig.
+Several pieces have not been published before, but only for this collection.

+Paul Krassner published The Realist (1958-2001), but when People
+magazine labeled him "father of the underground press," he immediately
+demanded a paternity test. And when Life magazine published a favorable
+article about him, the FBI sent a poison-pen letter to the editor calling
+Krassner "a raving, unconfined nut." George Carlin responded,
+"The FBI
+was right. This man is dangerous—and funny; and necessary." While
+abortion was illegal, Krassner ran an underground referral service, and as
+an antiwar activist, he became a co-founder of the Yippies (Youth
+International Party). Krassner's one-person show won an award from the
+L.A. Weekly. He received an ACLU (Upton Sinclair) Award for dedication to
+freedom of expression. At the Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam, he was
+inducted into the Counterculture Hall of Fame — "my ambition," he
+claims, "since I was three years old." He' s won awards from Playboy,
+the Feminist Party Media Workshop, and in 2010 the Oakland branch of
+the writers organization PEN honored him with their Lifetime Achievement
+Award. "I'm very happy to receive this award," he concluded in his
+acceptance speech, "and even happier that it wasn' t posthumous."--

+I first woke up at the age of six.
+It began with an itch in my leg. My left leg. But somehow I knew I
+wasn't supposed to scratch it. Although my eyes were closed, I was
+standing up. In fact, I was standing on a huge stage. And I was playing the
+violin. I was in the middle of playing the "Vivaldi Concerto in A Minor." |
+was wearing a Little Lord Fauntleroy suit-ruffled white silk shirt with puffy
+sleeves, black velvet short pants with ivory buttons and matching
+vest-white socks and black patent-leather shoes. My hair was platinum
+blond and wavy. On this particular Saturday evening-January 14, 1939-1
+was in the process of becoming the youngest concert artist in any field
+ever to perform at Carnegie Hall. But all I knew was that I was being
+taunted by an itch. An itch that had become my adversary.
+I was tempted to stop playing the violin, just for a second, and
+scratch my leg with the bow, yet I was vaguely aware that this would not
+be appropriate. I had been well trained. I was a true professional. But that
+itch kept getting fiercer and fiercer. Then, suddenly, an impulse surfaced
+from my hidden laboratory of alternative possibilities, and I surrendered to
+it. Balancing on my left foot, I scratched my left leg with my right foot,
+without missing a note of the "Vivaldi Concerto."

+Between the impulse and the surrender, there was a choice--I had
+decided to balance on one foot-and it was that simple act of choosing
+which triggered the precise moment of my awakening to the mystery of
+consciousness. This is me! The relief of scratching my leg was
+overshadowed by a surge of energy throughout my body. I was being
+engulfed by some kind of spiritual orgasm. By a wave of born-again
+ecstasy with no ideological context. No doctrine to explain the shock of my
+own existence. No dogma to function as a metaphor for the mystery.
+Instead, I woke up to the sound of laughter.
+I had heard that sound before, sweet and comforting, but never like
+this. Now I could hear a whole symphony of delight and reassurance, like
+clarinets and guitars harmonizing with saxophones and drums. It was the
+audience laughing. I opened my eyes. There were rows upon rows of
+people sitting out there in the dark, and they were all laughing together.
+They had understood my plight. It was easier for them to identify
+with the urge to scratch than with a little freak playing the violin. And I
+could identify with them identifying with me. I knew that laughter felt
+good, and I was pleased that it made the audience feel good-but I hadn't
+intended to make them laugh. I was merely trying to solve a personal
+dilemma. So the lesson I woke up to-this totally nonverbal, internal

+buzz-would serve as my lifetime filter for perceiving reality and its rules. If
+you could somehow translate that buzz into words, it would spell out: One
+person's logic is another person's humor.
+I finished playing "Vivaldi" by rote. Then I bowed to the audience
+and walked off stage. The applause continued, and I was pushed back on
+stage by my violin teacher, to play an encore, "Orientale." I had
+previously asked him-while rehearsing the encore-why it wasn't listed on
+the program since we already knew that I would play it at the concert. But
+instead of answering my question, he poked me in the chest, verbalizing
+each poke: "Violin up! Violin up!' Now, while playing "Orientale," /
+heard the echo of his voice, and I automatically raised my violin higher.
+Then I popped my ears and the music sounded clearer. I wondered if
+it sounded clearer to the audience too. They had no idea that their
+laughter had woken me up. I was overwhelmed by the notion that
+everybody in the audience had their own individual This-is-me, but maybe
+some of them were still asleep and didn't know it. How could you tell who
+was awake and who was asleep? After all, I hadn't known that / was asleep,
+and look what I accomplished before I woke up. If it hadn't been for that
+itch, I might still be asleep.

+There was, of course, an objective, scientific explanation for what
+happened on the stage of Carnegie Hall. According to a textbook,
+Physiological Psychology, "It is now rather well accepted that 'itch' is a
+variant of the pain experience and employs the same sensory
+mechanisms." But for me, something beyond an ordinary itch had
+occurred that night.
+It was as though I had been zapped by the god of Absurdity. I didn't
+even know there was such a concept as absurdity. I simply experienced an
+overpowering awareness of something when the audience applauded me
+for doing what I had learned while I was asleep. But it was only when they
+laughed that we had really connected, and I imprinted on that sound. I
+wanted to hear it again. I was hooked. And the first laugh was free.
+A couple of decades later, as if it was inevitable, I sold a few
+freelance pieces to Mad magazine. But when I suggested a satire on the
+pros and cons of unions, the editor wasn't interested in even seeing it
+because the subject was "too adult." Since Mad's circulation had already
+gone over the million mark, publisher Bill Gaines intended to keep aiming
+the magazine at teenagers.
+"I guess you don't wanna change horses in midstream," | said.
+"Not when the horse has a rocket up its ass," Gaines replied.

+A Child's Primer on Telethons
+See the tired man. He has been up all night. He is running a
+telethon. He wants the people to send money. It is for leukemia.
+That is a disease. Little children like you can catch it. Evil.
+See the sexy girl. She is a singer. She doesn't know whether
+the telethon is for leukemia or dystrophy or gonorrhea. Her agent
+got her the booking. She needs the exposure. Notice her cleavage.
+See the handsome man. He does know that it's for leukemia.
+You can tell. He is singing a calypso melody. Listen to the lyrics.
+"Give-your-money," he sings, "to-leukemia. Give-your-money, to-
+leukemia." Listen to the audience applaud. He is very talented.
+See the sincere politician. He is running for reelection in
+November. He is against leukemia. He is willing to take an oath
+against it. That proves he is against it.
+See the wealthy businessman. He is making a donation. He
+wants his company's name mentioned. Then we can buy his product.
+Then he will make profits. Then he can make another donation next
+year. Splendid.

+Sex Education For the Modern Catholic Child
+This is a diaphragm. Women use it when they don' t want to have a
+baby. That is very immoral. Why, you ask? Because it is artificial, that' s
+why. But never fear. There are other methods to prevent conception. They
+are very moral. Why, you ask? Because they are natural, that's why.
+This is big brother's pajama bottoms. He had a nocturnal emission
+last night. What a shame. It woke him up. But see the semen stain. It has
+millions of dead sperms. They were killed the natural way.
+This is his sister' s sanitary napkin. It doesn' t look very sanitary any
+more, does it? There is an ovum somewhere in that bloody mess. But it will
+never be fertilized. It will be flushed down the toilet bowl. That's the
+natural way, too.
+This is a baby. It was born dead. Every day in the U.S.A., 136,000
+infants are stillborn or die within a month. Now suppose their Mommies
+and Daddies had interfered artificially with the process of procreation.
+God's purpose would never have been achieved. Just think what a
+tragedy that would' ve been. But at least some of the dead babies were
+baptized. That's the natural way.

+This is a special calendar. It marks off menstrual periods. That's for

+A Child's Primer on Fighting Communism
+Now we are going to have some fun fighting Communism. Let us
+play a game of Make Believe. Close your eyes and concentrate. We are
+going to pretend that Red China doesn' t exist. They are the Bad Guys.
+Because they make people slaves.
+Nationalist China is different. They are the Good Guys. There,
+hundreds of thousands of little unwanted children are sold. They work in
+coal mines. Then they are wanted. The older girls work in brothels. How
+nice to be so wanted. Open your eyes now. Anyone around our base is it.
+Fidel Castro says Cuba is a socialist state. That proves they are
+Communists. But we knew it before. You could tell by the way Castro and
+Khrushchev hugged each other. So we stopped buying sugar from Cuba.
+Now other countries buy sugar from Cuba.
+Iran has bought 10,000 tons of sugar from Cuba. Iran gets a lot of
+economic and military aid from us. So we are helping Cuba anyway. Maybe
+we should trade tractors for prisoners then. But we will fool them. We will
+put treads on all the old Edsels that didn't sell.

+There are Communists in the United States too. They are dangerous.
+So the Supreme Court says they have to register as foreign agents.

+So the Communist Party isn' t very much fun to belong to any

+A Child's Primer on Divorce
+Oh, look. Mommy and Daddy are having another fight. Is it just an
+attention-getting device this time? Listen. They are having an adult
+discussion. They are agreeing on a separation. That means you will come
+from a broken home. What a shame. Even if they fight all the time they
+should stay together for your sake. Now you will be insecure.
+Mommy and Daddy are modern people. They drink Pepsi-Cola. They
+also have a modern marriage. They left the word "obey" out of their
+wedding ceremony. Wasn't that modern? But they didn' t leave out the
+words "love" and "honor." Mommy and Daddy are only modern, not
+avant-garde. They left "till death do us part" in the ceremony, too. But
+they are going to get a divorce anyway. They don' t have to obey their
+marriage vows. Lucky thing they left out that word.

+Pope Endorses Condoms
+When I was a kid, condoms were called prophylactics, prophylactics
+were called rubbers, and rubbers were called scumbags. My friends and I
+would find used scumbags in a vacant lot or in the alley between
+buildings. Once, while snooping, I found a large package of unused
+prophylactics in my father's sock drawer. It must have held a dozen. Now
+there were nine left. Each was tightly rolled, bound by a miniature cigar-
+like band. I selected one, took the band off, and carefully unrolled it.
+There was a legend imprinted on the prophylactic: "Sold in Drug
+Stores Only For the Prevention of Disease." What hypocrisy! They were
+sold for the prevention of pregnancy, which is a condition, not a disease.
+The irony is that now condoms don' t carry that message but they are
+used for the prevention of disease. Anyway, I tried to re-roll my father' s
+prophylactic and stuff it back into the band, but it was a losing battle, so I
+decided not to put it back in the package, figuring that my dad wasn' t
+counting his condoms and would never know.
+As an adolescent, I found that purchasing condoms was a traumatic
+experience. I would buy other stuff to avoid being embarrassed. "I' d like

+pack of Trojans, and a tube of Crest toothpaste, please." But four decades
+later there were huge billboards, warning: "If you can' t say no, use
+condoms." However, an executive of the Gannett Outdoor Advertising
+Company confirmed that they held off putting up those signs until after a
+visit by the Pope.
+Members of the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy have been faced
+with an interesting dilemma. On the one hand, they are opposed to
+condoms as an artificial method of birth control. On the other hand, they
+are aware that condoms can serve as a protection against AIDS. But a
+group of bishops issued a statement that educational programs which
+include information about condoms should also stress that they are
+morally incorrect.
+That's sort of like in the Watergate scandal when Richard Nixon
+said, "We could get the million dollars—but that would be wrong."
+Coincidentally, in November 2010, while the porn industry in
+California was being pressured to require all male actors to wear condoms
+to prevent AIDS, in the Vatican it was revealed that, for the exact same
+reason, Pope Benedict--in his official capacity as the Church' s chief spin
+doctor--went on record proclaiming that under some circumstances it
+might be acceptable for a (male) prostitute to use a condom.

+"There can be single justified cases," he rationalized,
+"for
+example, when a prostitute uses a condom, and this can be a first step
+toward a moralization, a first act of responsibility in developing anew an
+awareness of the fact that not everything is permissible and that we
+cannot do everything we want. However, this is not the best way to
+overcome the infection of HIV. It is really necessary to humanize
+sexuality."
+Daniel Maguire, author of Sacred Rights: The Case for Contraception
+and Abortion in World Religions, observed that the pope's change in
+policy represents a significant "crack in the dike" of Catholic opposition
+to condom use. The opposition stems from Catholic dogma that sex is for
+reproduction, and nothing should interfere with that.
+An issue of The Realist reprinted an article from the London
+Observer, which began:
+"Three Roman Catholic theologians have
+expressed the opinion that, in times of revolution and violence, it is lawful
+for women, particularly for nuns, to take contraceptive pills and
+precautions against the danger of becoming pregnant through rape."
+On that same page was our Rumor of the Month. "So-called
+'flying saucers' are actually diaphragms being dropped by nuns on their
+way to Heaven."

+I Ran an Underground Abortion Referral Service
+When abortion was illegal, women had no choice but to seek out
+back-alley butchers for what should have been a medical procedure in a
+sterile environment. If there was a botched surgery and the victim went to
+a hospital, the police were called and they wouldn' t allow the doctor to
+provide a painkiller until the patient gave them the information they
+sought.
+In 1962, there was an article in Look magazine that stated, "There is
+no such thing as a 'good' abortionist. All of them are in business strictly for
+money." But in an issue of The Realist, I published an anonymous
+interview with Dr. Robert Spencer, a truly humane abortionist, promising
+that I would go to prison sooner than reveal his identity.
+He had served as an Army doctor in World War I, then became a
+pathologist at a hospital in Ashland, Pennsylvania. He went down into the
+shafts after a mine accident, and aided miners to obtain Workmen' s
+Compensation for lung disease. At a time when 5,000 women were killed
+each year by criminal abortionists who charged as much as $1500, his

+reputation had spread by word-of-mouth, and he was known as "The
+Saint." Patients came to his clinic in Ashland from around the country.
+I took the five-hour bus trip from New York to Ashland with my
+gigantic Webcor tape
+recorder. Dr. Spencer was the cheerful
+personification of an old-fashioned physician. He wore a red beret and
+used folksy expressions like "by golly." He had been performing
+abortions for 40 years. He started out charging $5, and never more than
+$100. He rarely used the word pregnant. Rather, he would say, "She was
+that way, and she came to me for help."
+Ashland was a small town, and Dr. Spencer's work was not merely
+tolerated; the community depended on it--the hotel, the restaurant, the
+dress shop--all thrived on the extra business that came from his out-of-
+town patients. However, he built facilities at his clinic for African-American
+patients who weren't allowed to obtain overnight lodgings elsewhere. The
+walls of his office were decorated with those little wooden signs that
+tourists like to buy. A sign on the ceiling over his operating table said Keep
+Calm.

+Q. Have medical people come to you, who would otherwise shun

+A. Oh, yes, I' ve had medical people who bring me their wives, and
+I've had quite a few medical people send me patients.
+Q. But they wouldn' t perform the operation themselves?
+A. No, they' d never perform it, and just exactly what their attitude
+would be, I don' t really know. Some of them, I presume, were absolutely
+against it, because I've had ministers, and they' d bring me their

+wasn't going to stop just because in the next issue of The Realist I would
+publish an interview with somebody else.
+A few years later, state police raided Dr. Spencer's clinic and arrested
+him. He remained out of jail only by the grace of political pressure from
+those he'd helped. He was finally forced to retire from his practice, but I
+continued mine, referring callers to other physicians that he had
+recommended. Occasionally I would be offered money by a patient, but I
+never accepted it. And whenever a doctor offered me a kickback, I refused,
+but I also insisted that he give a discount for the same amount to those
+patients referred by me.
+Eventually, I was subpoenaed by district attorneys in two cities to
+appear before grand juries investigating criminal charges against
+abortionists. On both occasions I refused to testify, and each time the D.A.
+tried to frighten me into cooperating with the threat of arrest.
+In Liberty, New York, my name had been extorted from a patient by

+abortionist's financial records, which showed all the money that I had
+received, but he would grant me immunity from prosecution if I
+cooperated with the grand jury. He extended his hand as a gesture of
+trust.
+"That's not true," I said, refusing to shake hands with him.

+In 1970, I became the only plaintiff in the first lawsuit to declare the

+There Are No Atheists in the White House
+It was God who instructed Bill O' Reilly to consider every utterance
+of "Happy Holidays" to be a verbalization of "the war on Christmas."
+Whenever anybody claims that God talks directly to them, I think they're
+totally delusional. George W. Bush is no exception. Not only was he told by
+his senior adviser, Karen Hughes, not to refer to terrorists as "folks," but
+Bush was also being prompted by God Him-Her-or-Itself: "God would tell
+me, 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq.' And I did." As if he were
+merely following divine orders.
+In July 2003, during a meeting with Palestinian Prime Minister
+Mahmoud Abbas, Bush told the newly elected leader, "God told me to
+strike at Al-Qaeda and I struck them, and then He instructed me to strike
+at Saddam, which I did. And now I am determined to solve the problem in
+the Middle East. If you help me, I will act, and if not, the elections will come
+and I will have to focus on them."
+Abu Bakar Bashir, an Islamic cleric and accused terrorist leader, has
+said that "America's aim in attacking Iraq is to attack Islam, so it is
+justified for Muslims to target America to defend themselves." That' s
+exactly interchangeable with this description of Bush by an unidentified

+on terror] as a religious war. His view is that they are trying to kill the
+Christians. And the Christians will strike back with more force and more
+ferocity than they will ever know."
+Indeed, General William Boykin, Deputy Undersecretary of Defense
+for Intelligence, said that "George Bush was not elected by a majority of
+the voters in the United States, he was appointed by God." Discussing the
+battle against a Muslim warlord in Somalia, Boykin explained, "I knew my

+Apparently, religious bigotry runs in the family. Bush's father, the

+Coming of Christ." Not to mention Reagan's Secretary of the Interior,

+I have to give the word to the boys, and I get the word from God whether

+tradition going on in the White House.
+But if these leaders are not delusional, then they're deceptive. And
+in order to deceive others, one must first deceive oneself until self-
+deception morphs into virtual reality. In any case, we have our religious
+fanatics, and they have theirs. In September 2007, on the eve of the sixth

+over and over and over again while I was working. That afternoon, I told
+God I couldn' t believe in him any more because--even though he was
+supposed to be a loving and all-powerful being--he had allowed such
+devastation to happen. And then I heard the voice of God:
+"ALLOWED? WHY DO YOU THINK I GAVE HUMANS FREE WILL?"
+"Okay, well, l' m exercising my free will to believe that you don' t

+"ALL RIGHT, PAL, IT'S YOUR LOSS!"
+At least we would remain on speaking terms. But I knew it was a
+game. I enjoyed the paradox of developing a dialogue with a being whose
+reality now ranked with that of Santa Claus. Our previous relationship had
+instilled in me a touchstone of objectivity that could still serve to help keep
+me honest. I realized, though, that whenever I prayed, I was only talking to
+myself.

+The AAAA sponsored the Ism Forum, where anybody could speak
+about any "ism" of their choice. I invited a few friends to meet me there.
+The event was held in a dingy hotel ballroom. There was a small platform
+with a podium at one end of the room and heavy wooden folding chairs
+lined around the perimeter. My favorite speaker declared the Eleventh
+Commandment: "Thou shalt not take thyself too goddamned seriously."
+Taking that as my unspoken theme, I got up and parodied the previous
+speakers. The folks there were mostly middle-aged and elderly. They
+seemed to relish the notion of fresh young blood in their movement.
+However, my companions weren' t interested in staying. If I had left

+totally different path. Instead, I went along with a group to a nearby
+cafeteria, where I learned about the New York Rationalist Society. A whole

+to their meeting. The emcee was a former circus performer who
+entertained his fellow rationalists by putting four golf balls into his mouth.
+He also recommended an anti-censorship paper, The Independent.

+The Parts Left Out of the Kennedy Book
+An executive in the publishing industry, who obviously must remain
+anonymous, has made available to The Realist a photostat copy of the
+original manuscript of William Manchester's book, The Death of a
+President. Those passages which are printed here were marked for deletion
+months before Harper & Row sold the serialization rights to Look
+magazine; hence they do not appear even in the so-called "complete"
+version published by the German magazine Stern.
+At the Democratic National Convention in the summer of 1960, Los
+Angeles was the scene of a political visitation of the alleged sins of the
+father upon the son. Lyndon Johnson found himself battling for the
+presidential nomination with a young, handsome, charming and witty
+adversary, John F. Kennedy.
+The Texan in his understandable anxiety degenerated to a strange
+campaign tactic. He attacked his opponent on the grounds that his father,
+Joseph P. Kennedy, was a Nazi sympathizer during the time he was United
+States Ambassador to Great Britain, from 1938 to 1940. The senior
+Kennedy had predicted that Germany would defeat England and he

+Johnson found himself fighting pragmatism with pragmatism. It did not
+work; he lost the nomination.
+Ironically, the vicissitudes of regional bloc voting forced Kennedy
+into selecting Johnson as his running mate. Jack rationalized the

+It is difficult to ascertain where on the continuum of Lyndon

+begins. To have summoned then-Secretary of the Treasury Douglas Dillon

+might charitably be an example of the former; but to challenge under the

+When Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. related to her an incident that he had
+witnessed firsthand--Mr. Johnson had actually placed his penis over the

+Mrs. Kennedy could not help but shiver with disgust. Capitol Hill reporters

+o'clock-in-the-morning forays with Lady Bird, to his bursts of phallic
+exhibitionism, whether it be on a boat or at the swimming pool or in the

+It is true that Mrs. Kennedy withstood the pressures of publicized

+a blown-up photograph supposedly of Jack Kennedy sneaking away from
+the home of Jackie's press secretary, Pamela Turnure, to the Blauvelt

+that one Durie Malcolm had "married, third, John F. Kennedy, son of

+Consequently she was destined to bear a quite different burden--

+American leaders seem to have a schizophrenic approach toward
+each other. They want to expose their human frailties at the same time
+that they do not want to remove them from their pedestals. Bobby
+Kennedy privately abhors Lyndon Johnson, but publicly calls him "great,
+and I mean that in every sense of the word." Johnson has referred to
+Bobby as "that little shit" in private, but continues to laud him for the
+media. Gore Vidal has no such restraint. On a television program in
+London, he explained why Jacqueline Kennedy would never relate to
+Lyndon Johnson. During that tense flight from Dallas to Washington after
+the assassination, she inadvertently walked in on him as he was standing
+over the casket of his predecessor and chuckling. This disclosure was the
+talk of London, but did not reach these shores.
+Of course, President Johnson is often given to inappropriate
+response--witness the puzzled timing of his smiles when he speaks of
+grave matters--but we must also assume that Mrs. Kennedy had been
+traumatized that day and her perception was likely to have been tainted by
+the tragedy. This state of shock must have underlain an incident on Air

+She corroborated Gore Vidal's story, continuing: "That man

+My favorite response came from Merriman Smith, the syndicated
+UPI correspondent who always ended White House press conferences with
+the traditional "Thank you, Mr. President." He wrote:
+"One of the filthiest printed attacks ever made on a President of
+the United States is now for sale on Washington newsstands. The target:
+President Johnson. This is the May edition of a so-called magazine which
+says it is entered as second class mail. One newsstand owner says sales of
+this particular issue have been 'quite active.' This reporter is not
+embarked here on any defense of Johnson politically or personally, nor, for
+that matter, is this to suggest the need for greater respect for the
+presidency.
+"These are matters that have been dealt with extensively in other
+forums. Certain unadorned facts, however, do stand out in the open
+circulation, mailing and other forms of distribution of this sort of slime: If a
+magazine of major national standing tries to use the same sort of
+language, federal action to stop it would be almost certain. The language
+referred to is not conventional hell or damn profanity--it is filth attributed
+to someone of national stature supposedly describing something Johnson
+allegedly did. The incident, of course, never took place..."

+A Sneak Preview of Richard Nixon' s Memoir
+An old friend approached us with a thick sheaf of what was
+purported to be a photocopy of the autobiographical manuscript on which
+former President Richard M. Nixon was still at work. Our first reaction was
+skepticism. While most of the contents dealt predictably with
+contemporary history as it has already been recorded, there were enough
+surprises to shock even our own jaded psyche.
+Just to be sure, we employed the services of a reputable private
+investigative firm. Their report verified that our source did indeed know an
+individual inside the San Clemente hideaway. The next step was to hire a
+professional graphologist, who determined the authenticity of Mr.
+Nixon's handwritten notes on the typed transcript. Finally, our attorneys
+assured us that there was no violation of copyright laws involved, because
+it was unlikely that Nixon had submitted such unfinished material for
+copyright protection.
+The book, as yet untitled, is dedicated "To Patricia Ryan Nixon, who
+has been named the most admired women in the country, and deservedly
+so, for your loyalty has been a continuing inspiration, not only to your

+several excerpts from this preliminary draft of the memoirs of the only
+United States president ever to resign from office.
+Although President Dwight David Eisenhower encouraged me to call
+him Ike during the years I served as Vice President, it was a superficial form
+of intimacy. I regretted his failure to share decision-making responsibility
+with me at the White House. That privilege he reserved for his special
+assistant, Sherman Adams.
+When media coverage of a minor scandal in 1958 involving a rug
+and a vicuna coat pressured him into letting Adams go, Ike at last revealed
+a facet of his humanity to me. "By sheer force of habit," he remarked, "I
+was ready to seek out Sherman's advice on whether or not I should fire
+him."
+It was not until 1961, after Ike' s farewell address, that he confided
+in me again, this time about a more momentous occasion. "I suppose,"
+he began, "my reference to the dangers of the military-industrial complex
+in my speech came as something of a surprise to you, eh?"
+"Well, sir, it did strike me as a rather incongruous position for a
+renowned Army general to take--"

+existence, and there was an overwhelming temptation to remain in that
+blissful limbo. Yet there was also something in me that kept saying
+"Don' t give up!" It was my survival instinct speaking.
+But why not give up? What was there left for me? The answer came
+to me by the same extraterrestrial path it had come to Ike: Tell the truth!
+That was the turning point of my life. And these memoirs are the tangible
+result of my transformation. No one shall be spared, least of all myself.
+Those hairless creatures told me that President John F. Kennedy had
+also been visited by their kind. His father, old Joe Kennedy, had gotten rich
+off illegal booze during Prohibition, and you can be certain that the
+underworld bootleggers he was tied up with were not about to dissolve
+their silent partnership in this huge liquor industry they had built up,
+simply because Prohibition had been repealed. Yet there was Joe
+Kennedy' s own son, Jack—not to mention his brother Bobby—refusing
+to cooperate any longer in allowing organized crime to have a comeback
+in Cuba, and furthermore, going after organized crime in this country. At
+best this was ingratitude; at worst it was treason.
+But I finally understood the extraterrestrial force that had motivated
+young Kennedy. And so now I am ready to peel away the final layers of my
+poker-face mask.

+For example, I occasionally went too far while wearing my anti-
+Communist mask. When former Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach
+exposed the DuBois Clubs as a Communist front organization, poison-pen
+letters and threatening telephone calls were received by many of the Boys
+Clubs from patriotic Americans who were understandably confused by the
+ostensibly coincidental pronunciations. But in my function as National
+Board Chairman of the Boys Clubs of America, I charged that the name
+choice was
+"an almost classic example of Communist deception and
+duplicity" and that the W.E.B. DuBois Clubs "are not unaware of the
+confusion they are causing among our supporters and among many other
+good citizens."
+In retrospect, however, I admit that this was a slightly foolish
+position to espouse.

+has represented the district in the House for ten years." This was a

+Whittaker Chambers, against Senator Joseph McCarthy and against J.

+Tolson double-dating with Charles "Bebe" Rebozo and myself.
+Neither Rebozo nor I are "gay." We have been very close friends
+since 1950. What we enjoy most about each other's company is the fact
+that small talk becomes unnecessary. We are not afraid of silence. But we
+have never had any kind of sexual relationship.
+We were introduced by Senator George Smathers, who was

+Whenever I was in Florida, I would stay with Bebe, and he would
+occasionally get a couple of beautiful $200-a-night girls. Or as they would
+be called nowadays, $200-a-night women. But when I bought my own
+home in Key Biscayne, then his yacht became our rendezvous site.
+I was certainly not promiscuous, but I had been a virgin until
+marriage. I proposed to Pat Ryan the very same night I met her. She
+refused, but I was a determined son-of-a-gun. I even drove her to Los

+Once I express concern to Bebe that word might get out about my
+"affairs" in Key Biscayne. "These girls," I pointed out, "are likely to
+brag about going to bed with a United States senator."
+"They're professionals," Bebe reassured me. "It's just like your

+One evening in 1949, while I was still serving in Congress, I received
+an anonymous call at my home. A male voice said three words, "Watch
+Jeane Dixon," and hung up the telephone.
+A week later, the psychic Jeane Dixon held a press conference. One
+of the reporters asked her to predict my future. She drew a blank, however,
+explaining that she needed time to meditate. I believe that in show
+business parlance this is known as "milking the audience." Finally she
+said it: "I predict that one day Richard Nixon will become president of the
+United States."
+I could only conclude that the higher source from which she had
+received her intelligence was not necessarily supernatural. When I lost the
+presidential election to John F. Kennedy in 1960, Jeane Dixon continued to
+predict that I would be president. "Destiny," she said,
+"cannot be
+denied."

+Even after I was defeated in the 1962 California gubernatorial
+election and announced that I was through with politics, she said,
+"Richard Nixon has not even begun his rise in politics." And then she
+predicted the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963.
+After the Watergate affair, she stated: "God gave us Richard Nixon
+to divide us, to test us where our faith is concerned, to see if we could
+come together." A local paper published her statement ( "God gave us
+Nixon to divide us.—Jeane Dixon" ) as the caption for a cartoon showing a

+rewrote what they presented-and Haldeman worked mostly on the Alger
+Hiss chapter.
+He was apparently so eager to please, though, that he screwed up
+on his research. He had it that the FBl found the old Woodstock
+typewriter. And the book was published that way. Then the facts came out,
+the trial records and all, and we had to change it for the paperback edition.
+So now it reads that the FBI was unable to find the typewriter.
+The truth is, Alger Hiss found it himself. But the FBI had planted this
+fake Woodstock typewriter. And then the defense presented it in the trial
+as what they assumed was evidence in their favor. So a least Hiss was

+That verdict added immeasurably to my political strength. I had the

+How strange that the incident from the entire eight years I spent as
+Vice President that stands out most prominently in my memory occurred
+not in the White House but in Peru. There was a rioter who spat on me,
+and it was with great pleasure that I kicked him in the shins.
+Back in the safety of our hotel that night, I recalled an early formal
+debate at Whittier College- "Resolved: that insects are more beneficial
+than harmful" —because I had been so intrigued as to how insects did not
+think, they just acted. Now, having myself acted totally without hesitation,
+I was able to identify with those insects.
+As Vice President, I labored diligently behind the scenes to establish
+Operation 40, by which our CIA covertly trained Cuban intelligence officers
+in exile. Operation 40 was to serve as our link between the White House
+and the CIA in April of 1961. My plan was to invade Cuba.
+Ironically, during the 1960 presidential campaign, Kennedy began
+advocating my plan. I could not reveal that it was already in effect because
+Operation 40 was a secret project. Further, I found myself in the
+schizophrenic position of attacking my own idea whenever Kennedy
+articulated it, because it violated our treaty commitments.

+Of all the professional newscasters I have met, Walter Cronkite of
+CBS was the most charming. He treated me with respect and dignity. After
+the broadcast interview, we sat in his anteroom and talked informally.
+"I've always wanted to thank you," he said, "for inadvertently
+bringing me back to sanity that horrible weekend John Kennedy was
+killed."
+"Oh, really-how so?"
+"This followed on the heels of the televised shooting of Lee Harvey
+Oswald by Jack Ruby. A journalist asked for your reaction, and you replied
+with a slip of the tongue, 'Two rights don' t make a wrong.' Before you
+could correct yourself, I was finally able to break through my depression
+with a bit of laughter."
+"Yes, those were muddled times. Do you know I forgot where I was
+the day the assassination took place? I had to tell the FBI I couldn' t
+remember, and it was not until later that I remembered I had been in
+Dallas, of all places. There was a convention of the American Bottlers of
+Carbonated Beverages, and I was there representing Pepsi-Cola. But I flew
+out of there at eleven o' clock that morning. Kennedy was shot around
+one o' clock, as I recall. Where were you that day?"

+The problem was that Lyndon Johnson desperately wanted to have

+Anna Chennault-the Dragon Lady, as we called her-was our

+we became the recipients of kickbacks from our own government's aid to

+I do not ask for forgiveness. No, rather I must live with the memory
+of myself as an idealistic adolescent first reading about the Teapot Dome
+scandal and saying to my mother, while helping her to mash the potatoes,
+"I would like to become an honest lawyer who can' t be brought by
+crooks." But my character had already been set. When I was only five

+he gave her Machiavelli' s book. Mo mother was a saint. Her little mistake
+changed my life, and I will always be grateful for what I feel must have
+been a touch of divine intervention.
+We created a couple of Frankenstein monsters, and when I say we, 1
+mean the administration and the media in an unintentional collaboration.
+One such monster was Martha Mitchell. The first time she made one
+of her famous telephone calls and we saw how the press ate it up, we

+could serve as our mouthpiece for floating various trial balloons.

+John Mitchell would get thoroughly briefed on whatever the issue
+was-Haiphong Harbor or Senator Fulbright or the need for increased
+spending-and then, without ever letting Martha know that he expected
+her to give a scoop to some lucky reporter that evening, John would
+simply smoke his pipe and just happen to engage her in casual
+conversation about the matter.
+Martha was much too strong-willed to be instructed to make a call,

+in the morning when the urge hit her. This was a great joke among the

+In August 1971, we discovered that CBS correspondent Daniel
+Schorr had been asking around about the possibility of such a deal.
+Haldeman commented, "We' d better get on his ass—fast."
+Two years later, when Schorr reported that John Dean was afraid of
+going to prison because he might get raped there, we were able to find
+out immediately from the FBl that his source was Dean' s own attorney,
+but there was nothing constructive we could do with that information.
+However, it must be noted for posterity that John Dean was a closet
+queen supreme. His lovely wife, Maureen, is merely window dressing. Oh,
+how neatly she rolled up her blond tresses into a perfect bun and sat
+behind him at the Watergate hearings every day, blatantly projecting a

+had taken almost $5,000 from a White House safe for a hurried
+honeymoon right smack in the middle of the cover-up, He was already
+disguising his tracks. Their marriage was purely protective coloration.

+For a while I believed that Bernard Barker was the double agent in

+We were definitely set up. They used us to eventually destroy the office of

+I shouldn' t have been surprised Mr. McCord was our Security Chief. I
+myself, as an infiltrator of Castro' s inner circle, rose to Director of Security
+for the Cuban Air Force and Director of Intelligence. Who can you trust?

+story on the break-in was published in the Washington Post.
+It was strange. Ehrlichman' s own first assignment had been to spy
+on the Nelson Rockefeller people for us during the 1960 campaign, and
+now he had his own chain of command. I have noticed that Ehrlichman' s
+brow has become more knitted as he has advanced in his career. When he
+left, I opened the sealed envelope and read the report. It was brief:
+Bernstein, Carl: Heavy pot smoker. Living apart from his wife. Began
+affair with Nora Ephron, Esquire columnist, in New York while her husband,
+Dan Greenburg, book author, was at EST, Erhard Seminar Training.
+Woodward, Bob: A loner. Clean as a hound's tooth. So far.
+Then I began to "chop the coke," as they say, with a razor blade.
+When Bob Haldeman entered, we each took a couple of snorts. Haldeman
+was my Sherman Adams. I had always felt I could depend on him. We were
+discussing whether my itinerary for an upcoming trip to the West Coast
+might include Ely, Nevada, which was the birthplace of Mrs. Nixon,
+"That' s perfect," Haldeman said. "We need anything we can get,

+"But you know something, Bob? It' s all image."
+"Well, that is precisely the purpose of public relations."

+Then Haldeman delivered a resounding pep talk-when he lets loose
+he can be an emotional marvel-about the importance of launching a
+counterattack against our enemies.
+I must say at this point that Rose Mary Woods deserves a Medal of
+Honor for the way she was willing to humiliate herself by taking full blame
+for accidentally erasing those first five minutes rather than stand by while
+my public image was being destroyed.
+Moreover, when General Alexander Haig learned from Haldeman' s

+was a discussion of how to deal with Watergate, thereby proving that I was

+Now that is loyalty above and beyond the call of duty.

+part of an overall plan "to destroy," in the words of Frank Sturgis, "the
+office of the presidency."
+Haldeman was a saboteur in the guise of a sycophant. In 1967, when
+he was a vice president at the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency, he
+sent me a long memo on how I could use the media in my' 68 campaign.
+I have since learned that during World War II, various
+corporations-Standard Oil, Wrigley Chewing Gum, Paramount
+Pictures—lent their services to the Office of Strategic Services, which later
+became the CIA. The Thompson Agency supplied Kenneth Hinks to be
+chief of the OSS planning staff. One of Haldeman' s predecessors, Richard
+de Rochemont, a vice president of J. Walter Thompson, was offered a
+position with the Secret Intelligence Branch of the OSS. Another
+Thompson official, Donald Coster, stayed on with the CIA in South Vietnam
+from 1959 to 1962.
+That's when Haldeman really latched on to me, in the ' 62
+campaign. And when we lost, it was Haldeman who persuaded me to make
+a public fool of myself with that godawful "You won' t have Nixon to
+kick around any more"
+press conference. It was Haldeman in 1972 who

+On one occasion I was meeting with a group of blind veterans in the
+Oval Office. I wanted to display my empathy with them, so I began
+describing the Presidential Seal, which was woven into the carpet we
+happened to be standing on. A blind veteran got down on his knees and

+to do the same. It was perhaps the most spontaneous gesture of my life,

+whirring. I was pleased that this scene of my true humanity was being
+recorded for posterity. But Haldeman ordered an embargo on that
+photograph, ostensibly to protect the dignity of my image, because the
+president should never be seen in a kneeling position.
+Even a year after he resigned, there he was, old faithful Bob

+mention that the string had been loosened at the bottom, so when I was
+onstage and I flung that yo-yo down, it just stayed there. Once again,
+Haldeman had transformed the president into an asshole.
+It was Haldeman who had urged me to Install the White House
+taping system. It was Haldeman who hired Alexander Butterfield, who
+testified to the whole world about the tapes, and told the FBI about E.
+Howard Hunt. Butterfield brought in Al Wong to set up the system and
+check it every day. And it was Wong who brought James McCord onto the

+One thing about Gerald Ford, though: He keeps his promises-not

+though Ford was actually grateful to him. As for me, I should have listened
+to L. Patrick Gray when he warned me, "People on your staff are trying to
+mortally wound you."
+My wife, Pat, has sworn to me that she never told anyone about our

+There was one plan of the White House Plumbers that never came
+to fruition. It involved the theft of Patricia Ellsberg' s dental records. This
+was my own idea—not Haldeman' s, not Hunt' s, not Liddy' s-they
+were satisfied with obtaining the records of Daniel Ellsberg' s psychiatrist.
+But I
+remembered that the first time Alger Hiss confronted
+Whittaker Chambers, he requested to see his teeth. Hiss explained to me
+that he suspected Chambers might be someone he had known years
+before, and he wanted to see his teeth to make sure.
+Well, that recollection inspired me. We were able to obtain the
+dental records of Ellsberg's wife, all right, but did not have the
+opportunity to use them in helping to prove that she was guilty of
+espionage. I could not imagine exactly how we were going to achieve this
+but I did know that, whatever, it would be accepted by the public simply
+because the charge itself was so "off the wall."
+How odd that Whittaker Chambers, the dignified translator of
+Bambi, had been asked to publicly show his teeth as if he were some kind
+of stud at a horse show. I have never been able to forget that moment.

+The paradox of our nation is that we turn our vices into virtues. As
+the truth about political assassinations-from Malcolm X to Mrs. Dorothy
+Hunt-finally begins to emerge, we may truthfully say, "Only in America
+does there exist the freedom to reveal how insidious we have been, and
+then to continue in our insidious way with an even more determined
+spirit."
+I still believe that the United States is the greatest country in the
+world. It is also the greatest show on earth.
+I once had a vision of myself leaving Washington the way Jimmy
+Durante used to end his TV program, standing in a spotlight and bowing
+gracefully to the audience, then walking back a few steps into another
+spotlight, bowing again, and so on. Instead, I ended up sounding as
+helpless as Hal the Computer in the movie 2001, unable to control my own
+memory banks.
+My consolation for this personal tragedy is summed up in Jeane
+Dixon' s prediction: "Historians yet unborn are going to take the facts,
+and Richard Nixon will go down as a great President. They're going to
+find that the price the world is paying for trying to discredit Nixon is going
+to be that we' Il practically lose our freedom."

+In the meantime, I am, at long last, completely at peace with myself.
+It has been worth all the struggle.
+Postscript:
+After
+"A Sneak Preview of Richard Nixon' s Memoirs" was
+published, syndicated columnist Liz Smith-who hadn't seen that
+piece wrote that H.R. Haldeman had been in the Oval Office with Nixon,
+and that his trousers were down to his ankles. Hoping to smoke out the
+truth, I retyped one page of the manuscript, inserting a phrase (shown in
+italics) in this sentence: "When the incident was over, I simply returned to
+my desk, and although the tension of vulnerability was still in the air and
+my trousers were still around my ankles, we resumed our discussion as if
+nothing had occurred." I then photocopied the manuscript and sent it to
+Liz Smith. I had assumed she would check with her source. Instead, she
+wrote in her column that she had been fooled by me, implying that her
+source had based that revelation on my article. Somehow my hoax on Liz
+Smith backfired. I had become a victim of my own satirical prophecy.
+In his memoirs, I had Nixon insisting that Watergate was a setup to
+get rid of him as president. A decade later, Nixon himself made that claim
+in a network television interview. Furthermore, Haldeman in his book, The
+Ends of Power, would reveal that Nixon used code words when talking

+about the murder of President Kennedy. Haldeman said that Nixon always
+referred to the assassination as "the Bay of Pigs." And, on May 5, 1977,
+the Houston Post published a UPI dispatch that stated:
+"Watergate burglar Frank Sturgis said Wednesday that the CIA
+planned the break-in because high officials felt Richard Nixon was
+becoming too powerful and was overly interested in the assassination of
+John Kennedy ...
+'Several times the President asked CIA director Richard
+Helms for the files on the Kennedy assassination, but Helms refused to
+give them to him, refused a direct order from the President, Sturgis said.
+'I believe Nixon would have uncovered the true facts in the assassination
+of President Kennedy and that would have taken off the heat in Watergate.
+Because Nixon wanted files, the CIA felt they had to get rid of him.'
+Asked if Nixon ever was in danger, Sturgis replied, 'Yes, absolutely. Nixon
+was lucky he wasn't killed-assassinated like President Kennedy!' "
+One other thing.
+"A Sneak Preview of Richard Nixon' s Memoir"
+was originally published in 1976, in which Nixon insisted that Watergate
+was a set-up to get rid of him as president. About a decade later, Tricky
+Dick made that exact same claim on a network television interview.
+Satirical prophecy in action.

+Why I Leaked the Anita Hill Affidavit
+I shall identify myself only as a female aide to a Republican senator.
+It is also relevant that I have long nurtured a keen interest in psycho-
+history, the process by which a nation's direction is interpreted as an
+extension of the psychological makeup of those individuals who govern it.
+Without going into specific detail, let me simply state that on
+October 5, 1991, I happened to hear part of a conversation among
+Judge-now Supreme Court Justice-Clarence Thomas, Senator Orrin
+Hatch and Senator Alan Simpson. The three were meeting informally one
+week after the Judiciary Committee voted, first 7-7, then 13-1, to
+recommend the confirmation of Judge Thomas, and one day after the full
+Senate indicated that he would be confirmed.
+The conversation I happened to hear had to do with those charges
+brought by Anita Hill and ignored by the members of the committee, both
+Democratic and Republican. At that point in time I still thought this was an
+appropriate response, because the alternative would have been to hold an
+executive session, and Judge Thomas would then have had no practical
+choice but to resort to heavy denial. Now, however, these men were, in a

+Senator Simpson was saying, "Y' know, Clarence, l' ve seen some
+pretty raunchy porno movies in my time, but I never did see one where a
+lady was having sex with an animal."
+"I'll never forget it," Judge Thomas replied in his riveting

+and I once had an extremely animated discussion on the decriminalization
+of abortion. Can you imagine what the Democrats would' ve done with
+that?"
+And that was the precise instant I made the decision to leak
+Professor Hill' s statement to the press. Although I have constantly been
+sexually hassled, I have never really been harassed in the legal sense of the
+word. However, I have had an abortion, and I was totally outraged by the
+blatant hypocrisy l' d overheard. I had never leaked a document before,

+I chose Nina Totenberg because I had come to trust her reporting

+what leaking the affidavit would accomplish. I certainly did not envision
+that it would literally embarrass the Senate into delaying the vote until
+public hearings were held, though that probably was my secret desire.
+But Judge Thomas testified under oath that he had never discussed
+the subject of abortion. However, in response to a question by Senator
+Hank Brown, Professor Hill testified that she had disagreed with Judge
+Thomas in a discussion about Roe v. Wade. Unfortunately, then-Senator
+Joseph Biden quickly interrupted her.
+"That is not the subject of these hearings," he said.

+after the impeachment trial failed to remove him from office.
+Gentlemen--and lady (I guess you must be the Episcopalian)-thank

+morning, so he could perform a mass impeachment of all the senators
+who swore under oath that they would be impartial. But seriously, folks,

+Show. I had never seen it before, but she was interviewing Paula Jones and,
+as my mother used to say, curiosity got the best of me.
+Ms. Jones was telling Roseanne about the first time she saw me in
+that hotel. She was working at the courtesy booth for the governors'

+Surprisingly, I was not embarrassed about the infamous cigar
+incident. I felt that it had been an act of restraint from actual intercourse.
+Kind of tender and playful. Now, if it had been a Cuban cigar, that would
+have been illegal. But this was not the sort of intimacy that I would have
+felt comfortable performing with the First Lady. Hillary and I are really
+close, but as l' m sure you understand, no cigar.
+For her, the most revealing thing in The Starr Report is Monica' s

+agreement that if we were to separate, it would not occur before we left

+I'm seventy-five. Hell, I drink at least eight glasses of water a day
+now-just like l' m supposed to, for my health-but then I have to pee at
+least eight times a day. Ironically, the TV commercials warn that if you have
+to pee eight times in 24 hours, it' s a symptom of an overactive bladder.
+Indeed, irony has permeated this long-running scandal, beginning
+to end. It was ironic that my sexual appetite helped put me in office-the
+Gennifer Flowers allegation originally placed me in the media
+spotlight-and it was my sexual appetite that almost tossed me out of that

+I'm ashamed of increasing the military budget and decreasing the welfare

+I' Il tell you how I survived this past year, how I maintained such
+high approval ratings, while Newt Gingrich fell by the wayside. How I
+managed, in short, to remain president. It was partly the state of the

+told me that's more than Hollywood's entire domestic box-office

+so raunchy. So, then, what / did wasn' t considered such a big deal after
+all.
+Mainly, though, I have survived because, one sunny afternoon,
+Monica was positioning herself on the carpet under my desk in the Oval

+me while I was on the phone with him. Anyway, at that point, Monica
+found a big old dusty Mason jar under my desk. There was a label on the
+side which read, "Property of Ronald Reagan."
+That Mason jar was filled with Teflon, and I have rubbed it on myself
+every day since.
+I began my talk this morning with an epiphany, and I' d like to end
+with another. This epiphany also occurred while I was watching

+one point she said, "!' ve never voted in my life." And I was astounded.

+The Autobiography of Monica Lewinsky
+The following is an exclusive excerpt from an autobiography-in-
+progressy by Monica Lewinsky, titled Going Down in History. The
+manuscript was leaked to The Realist by, of course, a reliable source.
+I am not an airhead. l' m a victim, partly of my own making. And
+mostly, l' m a political pawn of the spin doctors. There are several books
+being written about the White House scandal, but only a few individuals
+know what really happened, and only I know who / really am, which is why
+I have decided to write this book. I would write it even if I didn' t need the
+money for legal expenses. My life may be ruined-at least my reputation
+will be forever tainted—but the truth must be told.
+I don' t like being a one-dimensional symbol. If anybody were to
+take a free-association test, the psychiatrist would say "Monica
+Lewinsky" and the patient would immediately respond "Oral sex."
+Maybe soon my name will be in a crossword puzzle-the clue: eight letters
+across-and the correct word will be "fellatio."

+Back home in Brentwood, l' ve been listening to talk radio a lot.
+Ronn Owens on KABC had listeners phone in with nothing but jokes about
+me for a solid hour. First he warned the audience that if they were easily
+offended, they should tune out. I have never felt so objectified in my life,
+and yet, at the same time, I found the program quite riveting.
+The best call came from a nine-year-old who said, "Bill Clinton
+violated the Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt not put thy rod in thy
+staff." The worst call came from a man who asked, "What do the Titanic
+and Monica Lewinsky have in common?" The answer was, "They both
+have dead seamen (semen) floating in the hull."
+And remember that awful piece of gossip-the one Lucianne
+Goldberg initiated in order to get attention from the press for her-that I
+kept a blue dress stained with Clinton' s dried ejaculation as a souvenir?
+Well, Jonathan Brandmeier on KLSX invited listeners to call in and suggest
+euphemisms for presidential semen. My favorite was "Bubba butter."
+Apparently, my role is to serve as a vehicle for the destruction of taboos.
+I have also become an automatic comedy reference. So, to Jay Leno,
+David Letterman and Conan O' Brien, l' m very useful in punchlines. To
+Saturday Night Live, l' m just a character in their sketches, and never

+Damage control is the name of the game. It was Dick Morris who
+advised Clinton to get a dog. Buddy, huh? They should' ve named him
+Photo-Op. It was also Dick Morris who suggested taping that ostensibly

+Dick Morris was going to release a trial balloon that if the rumor about

+In fact, the reason I think that Clinton' s approval ratings have been

+Blitzer from CNN asked Clinton at a press conference what he would like
+to say to me, Clinton smiled and said, "That' s good, that' s
+good"-referring sarcastically to the question-but it was extremely
+ironic, because that's exactly what I imagined he did say to me: "That' s
+good, that's good." And I replied, "I gave you a blow job, but I didn' t
+swallow." He started laughing hysterically, just like that time he did with
+Boris Yeltsin. Bill liked my sense of humor. That's why we went from
+flirtation to friendship.
+However, the reasons I visited the White House thirty-seven times
+was not for Bill-it was to be with Hillary—she was the one who desired
+me physically. The rumor about her being a lesbian was true. And so my
+relationship with Bill was complicated. He just acted as a middle man for
+Hillary, and now, by denying an affair with me, he's telling the truth and
+taking the fall for her. In that sense, he's an incredibly loyal husband.
+Despite what the public may think, Bill is absolutely devoted to Hillary.
+Everybody is watching so closely for him to commit the next
+indiscretion, but it would have to be with somebody he can totally trust,
+somebody who could suck the leader of the Western World's dick and
+not confide in a friend, or to somebody who pretended to be a friend. So,
+for a while, Bill is left with only Buddy's tongue for sexual companionship.

+Sarah Palin' s Reality Sitcom
+Referring to the Ronald Reagan presidency, Neal Gabler has written
+about "the triumph of entertainment over political ideology of any sort."
+And Kurt Andersen labeled Bill Clinton the "Entertainer-in-Chief." The
+voters are the audience, conditioned to fear and superficiality in
+commercials for erectile dysfunction and political campaigns alike, both
+having scary side effects. And now the injection of Sarah Palin and her
+family into the McCain vs. Obama campaign makes one wonder whether
+the winner of this race will ultimately depend on which candidate presents
+the better sitcom. It already is a reality show. Do you know what the
+difference is between a sitcom and a reality show? The laugh track.
+Otherwise, how would the masses be able to tell whether something is

+ambush candidate, Senator McCain would be ridiculed into a severe case

+admit, Ms. Palin, you have, dare I say, a certain Machiavellian charisma,
+and I was not quite prepared for that. You said that you deliberately tried
+to make yourself look frumpy, what with those Kawasaki eyeglasses and
+that chocolate-rust cotton-candy hair-do, sort of like the secretary in a

+goes ahead and seduces her uptight boss right there on his own black

+you might as well be the star of a porn movie, because your main
+qualification to be vice president is that you have a vagina and you are a
+cunt. Allow me to parse that for you, Sarah. When I say that you were
+appointed because you have a vagina, there is no way in semantic
+purgatory that McCain would have chosen a man who had exactly the
+same political positions and experience as you--except that your American
+flag pin is bigger--so his having a penis would simply not make one iota of
+difference. And, you'

+because I am also calling John McCain a prick, if only because he is against
+funding higher education for our young men and women who are fighting
+and being maimed and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan--McCain' s pathetic
+rationale being that if they had that funding to look forward to, then they

+Support our troops, indeed! McCain' s idea of supporting the troops is to
+send them more antidepressants--one out of every eight is already on
+them--so they can go kick down doors and kill people but still feel good
+about it. Oh, yes, and Sarah, we must not forget how Cindy McCain
+described the basis of your foreign policy experience. She said, "Alaska is
+the closest part of our country to Russia." With allies like that, you don' t
+need opponents. Cindy reminds me of Jessica Simpson, when she asked if

+TRACK: I'm telling you, those Iraq Veterans Against the War were
+real traitors at the Democratic convention. I learned that they had the
+nerve to be in full uniform, and they were chanting, "My buddy' s in the
+foxhole with a bullet in his head--I called to get the medic but he's
+already dead." But at our convention, just like the war in Iraq was a
+justifiable pre-emptive strike, so was the raid on the protesters before the
+convention began.
+WILLOW: What happened? I was busy taking care of Trig.
+TRACK: The police and the sheriff's department seized material
+that could' ve been used to barricade roads, and spikes that could disable
+the delegates' buses. They confiscated slingshots and buckets of gray
+water and urine. It's better to prevent using that stuff before it happens.
+They busted four people on suspicion of conspiracy to commit a riot, and
+detained dozens of others. They took boxes of pamphlets on free-speech
+laws in Minnesota, and booklets on how to protest legally.

+McCAIN: Let's review the situation. Your seventeen-year-old
+daughter is pregnant. And your nineteen-year-old son is the father. It was
+consensual sex. Nevertheless, that's statutory rape. I think we have only
+two options. One, she gets an abortion.

+question.

+both. But you're not against abortion if the life of the mother is
+endangered. That could be our exit strategy. There's a blind doctor in

+how many years. What we can do is to place the full blame on a stranger
+who was wearing a stocking over his face so that there will be no
+description except for that detail. Willow didn' t report it because she
+didn' t have enough cash to pay for a rape kit, and she felt afraid to tell

+McCAIN: You and the Bush administration. They also consider birth
+control to be a form of abortion. The Health and Human Services
+Department is secretly trying to redefine contraception--the Pill, IUDs, you
+name it-redefine as abortion. So this federal agency could eliminate
+many state laws. Pharmacists could refuse to supply women with birth
+control devices. Insurance companies wouldn' t cover contraception. Rape

+t have access to the morning-after pill. You have your

+And Whose Little Monkey Are You?
+Sometimes I think l' m dreaming when I read the news. But there
+are places where the inhabitants have never seen a magazine or a
+newspaper, and it is simply not a part of their psyche to dream about lines
+of type. In a spurt of generosity, the United States shipped surplus battery-
+operated TV sets across the sea to one group of islands in the Pacific
+Ocean, so that those natives could pass directly from a preliterate society
+to a post-literate society without having to read a single book in the
+process.
+They watched in amazement as so-called psychic Uri Geller bent
+forks on the Merv Griffin show. The strange thing was that even though
+Geller accomplished this feat by trickery, there were young children back in
+America who hadn' t yet been taught about the self-fulfilling rules of 20th
+Century physics, and to their parents' dismay, they were able to bend
+various kitchen utensils by means of sheer will power.

+That phrase, incidentally, did not come into the
+language until after there was electricity. People say that they are not
+referring to a lovely Japanese lithograph showing a kimono-clad woman
+whose long shiny black hair is twisted up into a bun, and who is
+coquettishly providing her own personal breeze with a colorful rice-paper
+fan. Then splat!-right in her porcelain-like face. So, no, it has to be an
+electric fan, which revolves so fast it protects you from the shit—or spreads
+it, depending which side you' re on—or what's a fan for?
+Meanwhile, even as all that shit is hitting all those fans, the laxative
+industry continues to blossom. New brand names are constantly
+competing in the open marketplace. Ex-Lax has even come out with a
+"milder" version for women-certainly an indication of rampant male
+chauvinism in their Research & Development section. What's the
+implication of this trend? Do females have different digestive systems than
+males? Is it perfectly acceptable for macho men to have chocolate-covered
+sandpaper coursing through their intestinal tracts?
+And yet credit must also be given to those friendly folks at Ex-Lax.

+Some have been getting arrested for being deaf without a license.
+Naturally, the police recite their Miranda rights, shouting, "You have the
+right to remain silent!'
+Anyway, this particular Ex-Lax commercial features a pleasant,
+matronly woman reminiscing through her family photo album while a

+into sign language. Actually, he can say whatever he wants. Nobody
+monitors his translation. He can indulge in private jokes for all the deaf

+These are rough times, but it's extremely important to develop a
+sense of optimism. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists periodically updates a
+clock on their cover to indicate how close we're moving toward nuclear
+war. Recently they moved it from four minutes to midnight to three
+minutes to midnight, with midnight representing total annihilation. I
+don't know exactly what their time scale is-whether one minute
+represents a month or a year or a decade-but, whichever, they're saying
+that we are all now only three minutes away from the ultimate holocaust.
+That's the bad news.
+The good news is that atomic scientists are just as fucked-up as the
+rest of us. They overeat, they forget to floss, they don' t have time for
+serial orgasms, or they suffer from premature ejaculations, and they set
+their clocks fifteen minutes ahead so that if they need to mail a letter by
+six o' clock and their clock says it's ten after six, it means they still have
+five minutes to get to the mailbox. So that clock on the cover of the
+Bulletin of Atomic Scientists is fifteen minutes fast. We don' t have just
+three minutes till doomsday; we have eighteen minutes.

+Life remains peaceful on a certain island off the coast of Japan. Here,
+humans and animals live in peace and harmony.
+There are monkeys who for eons have subsisted entirely on sweet
+potatoes. They would pick the sweet potatoes right out of the dirt in which
+they grow-eating them, dirt and all. This is the way they have always
+done it. But one day, for whatever mysterious reason, an individual young
+female monkey carried her sweet potato to the shore, washed the dirt off
+in the ocean and proceeded to eat the sweet potato.
+Who knows why it was this particular monkey? Any explanation will
+suffice. Maybe she was an Aries, with a strong pioneer spirit. At any rate,
+once this monkey broke the ice, other monkeys began to wash the dirt off
+their sweet potatoes before they ate them. But only the young monkeys.
+It was not until the 100th young monkey had washed the dirt off a
+sweet potato in the ocean--not exactly the 100th; it could' ve been the
+93rd or the 108th; the 100th monkey is merely a metaphor for reaching
+critical mass—but not until then did the first adult monkey wash the dirt
+off a sweet potato. This was a case of reverse generational influence.
+And then other adult monkeys started to imitate this behavior.

+Now, how can this living New Age parable be applied to human
+behavior? Well, whatever you do personally to help further the cause of
+justice and the pursuit of ecstasy, even though you might get discouraged,
+you must always remember that you might be the one who turns the

+That's the good news.
+The bad news is, those monkeys needed that dirt in their diet for

+weren' t able to shit.
+But it just so happened that this was one of the islands where we
+shipped our surplus TV sets. Across the island, monkeys were gathered
+around those TV sets, all watching a program that was sponsored by Ex-
+Lax. Moreover, here was that commercial with the sign-language

+language, and had been returned to the island to teach others of their
+species how to sign.

+In front of the Sidewalk Café on the boardwalk, the Mime, a black
+man wearing white gloves along with a tuxedo and top hat, just stands
+still-often for hours. He is listening to a stereo headset. One might think
+he was playing music to counteract the boredom, but it's really a tape
+loop reminding him, "Don' t move, stay still, it doesn' t matter if your
+back itches, people are paying you not to scratch ..."
+Passersby do indeed put cash in the cardboard box at his feet after
+they have gaped at him long enough to get their money's worth.
+Standing still is his job. People pay him not to move. When he goes to the
+Unemployment office, a clerk asks, "Did you look for work this week?"
+He answers simply, "Yes, I stood on the corner of Hollywood and Vine,
+and then I stood on the corner of Beverly Boulevard and Sierra Bonita, and
+then I stood..."
+In contrast to the Mime is the Pacer, who intrigues me most. He
+doesn' t call himself the Pacer. He may not even know that others do. But

+Obviously he originally started this strange stint as a matter of

+the counter, but he doe not twirl on his stool, nor stir his coffee, nor roll

+But recently the Pacer did something that hurled such a comparison
+right into the metaphor graveyard, along with "That' like bringing coals
+to Newcastle" (for Newcastle finally did run out of coal) and "Good as
+gold" (since the government now prints money without the benefit of the
+gold standard). The Pacer had put a cardboard box down on the ground
+and started walking around it. And now people began giving him money.
+By the mere presence of that cardboard box, the Pacer had
+transformed his personal perversion into a marketable talent. Just like so
+many of us. And I could no longer feel superior to him. He was not just
+some nut walking in circles. Now he was earning a living.
+I still "do" the Pacer in my act, but with increased respect. "His

+works hard all day, and then, just like you and me, he goes home and

+Johnnie Cochran Meets Dr. Hip
+Tragedy and absurdity were two sides of the same coin: On one side,
+O.J. Simpson's
+"suicide"
+note with a smiley face in the O of his
+signature; on the other side, the woman who pinched Simpson lawyer
+Robert Shapiro' s ass because "I wanted to be part of history." And
+somewhere along the ridge of that coin was Simpson himself, walking into
+the courtroom humming the melody of "Touch Me" from the Broadway
+hit Cats and explaining to reporters that he was thinking about his
+children.
+That was at Simpson's criminal trial. Shortly before his civil trial
+began in 1997, I met his lead attorney, Johnnie Cochran. He was the guest
+of honor and luncheon speaker at a national convention of criminal
+defense attorneys held in a huge banquet hall at a hotel in Santa Monica.
+No media people were allowed entry.
+One of the attendees was Dr. Eugene Schoenfeld, also known as Dr.
+Hip from his days as a syndicated columnist for the underground press. He
+now testifies occasionally as an expert witness, and was at this event for
+that reason. My wife Nancy and I were his guests.

+Cochran's speech reassured the enthusiastic audience: "In the
+Simpson matter, we just did what you do every day" —that is, defend their
+clients by any means necessary and chalk up a bunch of billable hours in
+the process-and he got a standing ovation.
+In the afterglow of his speech, colleagues came up to Cochran to
+shake his hand and get in a little banter. One well-wisher shared this joke:
+"If [prosecutor] Chris Darden spent as much time trying to nail O.J.
+Simpson as he did trying to nail [prosecutor] Marcia Clark, he might' ve
+won the case." The other defense attorneys within hearing distance all
+had a good laugh at that one.
+Dr. Schoenfeld joined the line of lawyers waiting to have photos
+taken of themselves standing alongside Cochran. When it was
+Schoenfeld's turn, Nancy focused her camera. For this particular
+occasion, Schoenfeld had stashed a hand-printed card underneath the
+standard, plastic-encased ID lapel card. As in the previous poses, Cochran
+and Schoenfeld put their arms around each other, although they were
+looking, not at each other, but straight ahead and smiling at the camera.
+Thus, Cochran didn' t notice how, just before Nancy snapped their

+Jealousy At the Swingers Convention
+The 24th annual Lifestyles Couples Convention has filled three hotels
+in Palm Springs, California. The Convention Center is connected to one of
+them, the Wyndham, which surrounds a large outdoor pool and patio
+populated by couples busy socializing in 116-degree dry heat. Women and
+men alike are wearing thongs. From afar they appear like so many eyeless
+smiley faces among the bathing suits. The law that Sonny Bono signed
+when he was mayor, banning thongs in public, does not apply to this
+event, or, for that matter, to Cher.
+The convention is for couples only. Except for me. l' ve been hired
+to perform stand-up comedy at their Friday luncheon, and l' m here
+alone. On the small, propellor plane from Los Angeles to Palm Springs, the
+right side consists of two-seat rows, occupied entirely by couples on their
+way to the convention-horny with the expectation of getting laid by the
+spouse of a stranger, perhaps sitting in front of or behind them-and the
+left side of the plane consists of one-seat rows, occupied entirely by me.
+I'm afraid that the plane might tip over upon trying to land.

+At the Convention Center, even the plastic-encased lapel nametags
+are coupled off: "Ken and Barbie" on his, "Barbie and Ken" on hers.
+Not all the couples are paired off in real lie, though. One person can simply
+bring along another-known in swinger circles as a "ticket" for gender
+balance-in order to get into the convention. So everybody has entered
+two by two, and I feel like a unicorn stowaway on Noah' s Ark,
+surreptitiously balancing on the cusp of love and lust.
+There are 3,000 participants at this convention, mostly upper-middle-
+class, in their 30s, 40s and 50s. They consider people in the outside world
+to be "straight," even though one would ordinarily consider them
+straight. I mean there are suburban soccer moms here, openly celebrating
+their secret lifestyle at an oasis of supportiveness. There's a man in a suit
+with a flesh-colored penis necktie, another wearing a T-shirt declaring
+"!' m Not Going Bald, l' m Getting More Head," and another dressed
+only in a leather jockstrap, who recognizes me and introduces himself.

+$400." There's a multitude of merchandise on display-pornographic
+videos, naughty lingerie, fetish paraphernalia, edible lotions-plus booths
+galore. At the Golden Nipples booth, women are cheerfully having exact
+duplicates of their nipples created in sterling silver or 14-karat gold, which
+can be used as pendants, key fobs, money clips or-yes, of course-nipple
+covers. At the Penimax booth, an Asian vendor is selling disposable cock
+rings, which, he promises, will maintain my erection even after I ejaculate.
+There are several booths dedicated to booking vacations especially
+designed for swingers, at nude beaches, clothing-optional resorts and
+ocean cruises. I follow around an elderly woman who is busy picking up
+brochures at every such booth. It seems incongruous, but I try not to
+indulge in stereotypes. Finally I engage her in a conversation, and she
+explains that her boss told her to get as much material as she could,
+because he owns some property surrounded by government land, and he
+wants to start a new business.
+At the Erotic Massage Wear table, a woman uses my arm to
+demonstrate a device that turns her fingertip into a vibrator, not intended
+for nose picking. Then she puts Jergen' s Lotion on my right hand, dons a
+pair of Love Mitts—made of vinyl with little nubs all over-and proceeds

+wearing Love Mitts and massaging a man' s lubricated penis. This is a
+bizarre mixed-media sensation. Although I don' t get a hard-on, the lobes
+of my brain seem to fuse, and for the next few hours my left hand persists
+in feeling neglected.
+Checking out the functional furniture, I merely eavesdrop on a (fully
+clothed) couple testing out the "rocking torso feature" on a Love Table,
+but I actually climb into the Love Swing, assuming a position ordinarily
+assumed by a woman while the man stands up, crotch to crotch. My body
+is suspended half upside-down in mid-air with legs spread and feet up in
+stirrups. I'm feeling mighty vulnerable. As I hang there, the inventor
+hands me my tape recorder, then proceeds to show me how "the woman
+can place the man' s penis on her G-spot by moving her legs from a
+position of being out front like this to being in the fetal position" and
+how "the man, instead of just going in and out like that, he can make his
+penis a joystick, so every step he takes is a movement inside of her, more
+like a dance step." He guarantees,
+"You' Il never use a bed again."
+Next I inspect the Bungee Sexperience-a harness designed by a
+company that makes bungee cords—it bounces in the air, so the "rider"
+can enjoy weightless sex in a variety of positions. I ask the woman
+demonstrating this how many hours a day she bounces up and down. "At

+eight to twelve hours." She tells me that her circulation is excellent, and
+that her 18-year-old son refers to the contraption as a

+The Auto Erotic Chair, however, provides real bondage. It' s

+comedians do have something in common. We both like to have a good
+opening line. As a performer, I always try to slant my opening line toward a
+particular audience.
+My opening line at the World Hemp Expo was, "Last night, for the
+first time in my life, I used a hemp condom." My opening line at a
+Skeptics Conference, attended by the Amazing Randi and the Amazing
+Kreskin, was:
+"The is the first conference l' ve been to where there were
+two people with the same first name of Amazing-but the Amazing Randi
+was born with that name, it's on his birth certificate, whereas the

+moment of silence, so that you can think about your client's problem,
+and then you can make this a billable hour."
+Now I find myself in a lavish hotel suite, trying to crystallize an

+infinitely cloned in the mirrors of the hotel-room bathroom, actually the
+only place I ever get to see that bald spot as others do. This will be a

+decide that my opening line will then be, "I just want to say that freedom
+of expression existed long before the First Amendment." Though it's not
+my motivation, I realize that this opening line will undoubtedly please
+Robert McGinley, the bearded co-founder and president of the Lifestyles
+Organization.
+"We hate government intervention in our lives," he has assured
+me. "We hate censorship. We're against laws that require helmets for
+cyclists. It's good that a law was just passed allowing women to
+breastfeed in public, but we shouldn't need permission from the
+government to do it." He admits to being "libertarian, but not
+Libertarian Party." He draws his philosophy from Jack London- "The
+proper function of man is to live, not to exist" —and, more specifically, his
+credo is "Adult sexuality is normal." Dr. McGinley (he holds a Ph.D. in
+counseling psychology) tells me a riddle: "What do you call an Italian
+swinger?" I give up. The answer: "A swop."
+At the luncheon, it turns out that I will not be presented with the

+Indeed, condom consciousness (if not condom use) is present at the
+convention. In one workshop, "The ABC's of Swinging," condom
+etiquette is described as bringing "the right safety equipment, just as you
+would for scuba diving or parachuting." Another presentation on "Safer
+Sex" covers new drug therapies for AIDS, information on other sexually
+transmitted diseases that are increasing among heterosexuals, and
+"things you should be doing to protect yourself."
+Originally, herpes had caused a certain panic in swinger circles.
+Some swing clubs closed, though private parties increased. But,
+paradoxically enough, with the advent of AIDS, new clubs opened, as if the
+disease were anti-climactic. Currently, there's a surge of growth in this
+subculture-thanks to the Internet-with estimates ranging from 2,000 to
+three million participants. And, according to Dr. McGinley, "There' s been
+very little increase in condom use. It's the woman' s choice."
+Nonetheless, at the Adult Marketplace, a woman in a black lace
+negligee roams around giving out free samples of condoms. There are also

+The Art Gallery at the convention Center, featuring the Lifestyles
+Convention' s 7th annual Sensual & Erotic Art Exhibition, almost didn' t
+happen. The state' s Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control had tried
+to prevent it from opening. When their authority was challenged, an ABC
+representative became an alchemist, transforming logic into absurdity.
+Legally, he said, you can' t even have sex in a hotel room which has a mini-
+bar. Sure, pal, just try to enforce that one.
+Two days before the convention, the ACLU obtained a restraining
+order against ABC' s interference with the art exhibit. But ABC didn't just
+give up and assume the fetal position in a Love Swing. Rather, the agency
+threatened to revoke the Wyndham Hotel' s liquor license if they allowed
+a special two-hour session, the convention' s traditional Evening of
+Caressive Intimacy, to take place in the Wyndham Ballroom on Friday as

+"Paramount and its parent company, Viacom, have a vested interest in

+Now, in his regular voice, he is telling our workshop of the need to
+"approach the body, not for sexual release, but for every single inch of
+this body, the groundwork, the geography of pleasure. Can anybody name
+one spot on your body that is not capable of receiving pleasure?"
+Nobody can. Later, the entire audience, seated around the perimeter of

+Jealousy is an outmoded emotion to be shunned like dandruff.
+There's even a workshop that advises "How to Handle Jealousy" and
+another titled "Swing Without Guilt or Jealousy." And so now I not only
+feel guilty about not participating, I also feel guilty about feeling jealous.
+I've committed a swinger crime. I can hear security guards shouting
+"Jealousy alert!" Loud sirens go off. "Jealousy alert!"
+Now where will I go? I have been reading about tantra in Real Magic
+by Isaac Bonewits:
+"Energy control is a very important part of the
+exercises; it is essential, for example, that during Kama-kali the male be
+able to refrain from ejaculating under the most harrowing
+circumstances." I decide to drop in on a workshop, "How to Prevent
+Premature Ejaculation," but everybody has already been there, and they
+all left early. Sorry. I blurted that out before I could stop myself.

+The Spring 1997 issue of NASCA Inside Report editorializes:
+"There are political attacks on freedom that citizens should be

+In Pennsylvania, Richard Kasunic, a Democratic state senator, failed

+legislation to outlaw "swinger clubs." He states, "My bill will outlaw

+In California, Tim Leslie, a Republican state senator, has introduced a

+In 1995, Connection filed a suit challenging the constitutionality of
+the law and seeking a permanent injunction. In 1997, the motion was
+denied. Attorneys filed an appeal and a motion for a temporary injunction
+relieving Connection from complying with the act during that appeal. The

+totally infringing on the civil rights and freedoms of people involved in
+alternative lifestyles. Obviously, the average person involved in swinging
+would have no way of combating this law on their own."

+"I' m afraid we haven' t been very successful," she replies. "We

+that, as the millennium comes to an end, tantric men will be popping up
+everywhere.
+A retired chairman and CEO of a title and escrow company, who
+attended another tantra party, tells me, "The difference between the
+tantra party and the party next door is the fact that at the beginning of the
+wedding tantra party there was a lot of ceremony and shared tantra ritual,
+but once we had experienced that, it was every person for themselves. It
+was like the party next door." These were closed parties by invitation only.
+But you didn' t need an invitation for open parties. All you had to do was
+find them.
+The Wyndham Hotel is permeated by a sense of uninhibitedness. In
+the elevator, a beautiful black woman is looking in the full-length mirror
+and admiring her new Clit Clip-non-piercing, adjustable, genital jewelry--
+"not designed to be painful," I learned at the Adult Marketplace, "just
+very sensual and aesthetically attractive. The Clit Clip is a long narrow, U-
+shaped piece of metal, designed to fit around the clitoris hood, with some
+light-catching Austrian crystals, in your choice of clear, red, blue and
+purple, dangling from the ends." The woman in the elevator turns toward
+me and says, "Isn' t it nice?" Her husband smiles proudly.

+"It's charming," I reply, "but what are you gonna do if the metal
+detector goes off at the airport?"
+I leave them giggling in the elevator as I get off on a floor where
+I've heard there would be lots of action. I follow one group, but only the
+couple in front really knows where they're going. But they happen to be
+on the way to their own room, and when they get there, they go in, close
+the door, and we are all left out in the corridor, looking like a perplexed
+ant farm. Everybody turns around. I am now at the front of the line, so I let
+them all pass by me as they head in the opposite direction, strolling
+briskly, except for the one-legged man with the roller skate and crutches,
+who is gliding gracefully along the carpet. Passersby are asked, in vain,
+"Where's the party?" We finally find a room with a porn photo on the
+door, which is slightly open.
+Inside, there are around fifty people in semi-darkness. Exhibitionists
+and voyeurs, together again. Here a blow job, there a copulation,
+everywhere
+undulating juiciness.
+There
+is
+an unspoken
+homophobia-no man is relating sexually to another man—but there is
+lots of lesbian libido. In order to keep a low profile, I have ripped several
+pages out of my notebook and folded them in half, so that I can take
+notes unobtrusively.

+However, a woman with a feather duster asks me to hold on to her
+panties. She is about to join a threesome on the king-sized bed near the
+bureau that I'm leaning against. I marvel at the choreography of this
+foursome. But they're playing, and l' m working. Their moans become
+my background music.
+I wasn' t always a wallflower at the orgy. I flash back 30 years to
+1967 . . . I was at a Sexual Freedom League couples-only party on New
+Year's Eve at a large theatrical studio in San Francisco. There were about
+150 people dancing in the nude. Behind the closed curtains on the stage
+there were fifteen small mattresses in constant use by different couples.
+I remember making love on one of those mattresses with a sweet
+flower child only fifteen minutes after we'd met. It was an exhilarating
+experience. We were on the front lines of the Sexual Revolution. We had to
+hold back from screaming out political slogans at our moment of climax.
+The seeds of contemporary swinging were planted at that party, but who
+could have known it would blossom into an industry?

+swinging is the answer. To them, cheating is not an issue, unfaithfulness is
+obsolescent, and adultery is merely a concept that deprived former Air
+Force Lieutenant Kelly Flinn of her opportunity to drop a nuclear bomb.
+The Lifestyles Convention provides a nurturing environment for
+these couples the same way a convention of crossword-puzzle enthusiasts
+or barbed-wire collectors would provide for those folks. Yet, in the case of
+swingers, one is left with a puzzle. Is impersonal intimacy an oxymoron? I
+ask that question of psychologist Stella Resnick, sex therapist and author
+of The Pleasure Zone. Her reply:
+"We can' t put a value judgment on this. These are all consenting
+adults. It doesn' t really matter that it's rather impersonal because they
+are in long-term relationships, so they're getting their intimacy needs
+met, but not necessarily their needs for excitement in sex, and this is
+certainly a way to do it. Often they are sexually identified in the sense that
+they're sexual people, they have strong desires, they're not necessarily
+into politics or other causes, but this is a good cause—-being in the body,
+being healthy-and it's a way of relaxing and enjoying their bodies.
+Whatever turns you on, as long as you' re not doing any damage to
+anybody else and you're taking care of yourself, fine, enjoy."

+When Tom Arnold was a guest on Late Show, David Letterman
+pressed him about his friendship with Kathie Lee and Frank Gifford. This
+was shortly after the Globe had entrapped and videotaped Gifford' s
+extramarital tryst with a flight attendant in a hotel room. Letterman
+insisted, "I don' t revel in the miseries of others," but Arnold reminded
+him of his monologues with jokes about Gifford. Letterman defended
+himself: "It's part of the job." Arnold stammered, searching for just the
+right words. He finally found them: "Frank Gifford took a bullet for a lot
+of us." And the audience applauded the accuracy of his assessment.
+Certainly, non-celebrities don't have to worry about supermarket
+tabloids revealing infidelities to their spouses. Such exposure could never
+occur with swinging couples, not only because, as a rule, they are honest
+with each other, but also because they party with each other, so there are
+no surprises. They are sharing a secret lifestyle, one with an ethic that
+transcends ordinary romance. Sneaky affairs are for straight people, but
+swingers can eat their wedding cake and have their fantasies too. Which
+explains why there have been no hookers hanging around this convention.

+Life Among the Neo-Pagans
+In the summer of 1997, I performed at the 17th annual Starwood
+Neo-Pagan Festival in Sherman, New York-Amish country on the border
+near Ohio and Pennsylvania. This event—a female-oriented celebration of
+the sensual and the spiritual-took place on private campgrounds, where
+clothing was optional. Many women were bare-breasted, and several men
+and women walked around fully naked, a practice known as the "sky
+clad" experience.
+Instead of camping out, I stayed at a nearby bed-and-breakfast
+place. Downstairs in the living room, I asked a woman-falsely assuming
+that she was the proprietor-where the key would be left if I came back
+late at night.
+"Idon' t know," she replied. "I' m here for the festival."
+"Oh. In what capacity?"
+"I' m in the craft."
+"Which craft?"
+"That' s right," she said.

+She has been a Wiccan for twenty years, but now she complained,
+"Witchcraft has become trendy. I mean, ever since Buffy the Vampire
+Slayer.."
+At the festival, on Merchants Row, there was an inviting banner over
+one of the booths:
+"Stop by for a Spell." A positive perspective on
+witchcraft was a theme at this event, along with such workshops as
+"Privacy Rights and Drug Policy," "Cultivating Consciousness in Your
+Child,"
+"Live Meditations in Drumming and Dance," "The Supreme
+Court and the Free Exercise of Religion, "A Procession to Honor the Earth
+Goddess," "Safer Sex" and "Dark Ecstasy: The Ritual Use of Pleasure,
+Pain and Sensory Deprivation as Psychedelic Experience."
+When I walked on to the outdoor stage, my opening line was "I' m
+gonna start with two words that have been thought year after year at
+these festivals, but which have never actually been uttered out loud, and
+those two wards are: "Nice tits." The audience hesitated a second,
+because in that context this could be a politically incorrect observation—
+had deliberately taken
+that chance-but then they laughed and
+applauded, because they knew it was true.

+Saturday night, several dancers with torches ritualistically teased this
+pyramid of logs, encircled at a distance by two thousand enthusiasts,
+although one impatient woman yelled, "Just do it!" The neo-pagans
+danced and pranced and cavorted around the bonfire late into the night.
+My own personal highlight occurred when a beautiful woman
+named Pearl approached me. She was in the process of transforming her
+breasts from fetish to functional by nursing a baby that had been
+conceived there the year before. During that festival, she had walked in on
+my performance, bare-breasted, at the precise moment that I uttered the
+words, "Nice tits." She assumed that I was referring specifically to her
+and, I had learned, she was flattered, so now I didn't have the heart to
+disillusion her. But I did write about it in my High Times column, "Brain
+Damage Control," ending with this sentence: "I hope she doesn' t read
+this."
+Furthermore, at the 20th annual Starwood Festival in 2000, I found
+myself in front of a microphone on that same stage, and I told that story.
+Pearl was in the audience, and she was laughing heartily. This time,
+though, when I said,

+didn' t matter. This was a perfect example of tit for tat. Or dick for tit.
+My old friend Steve Gaskin and I were staying at a bed-and-
+breakfast house where there were angels all over the place. Stuffed angels,
+plastic angels, plaster-of-paris angels, embroidered angels, stained-glass
+angels, papier-mache' angels, teddy-bear angels and origami angels.
+There were angel dolls and angel paintings and angel sculptures and even
+an angel mobile hanging from the ceiling. In the bathroom, there was an
+angel tissue-dispenser and an angel night-light. On a table in the hallway,
+there was a pile of Angels on Earth magazine. On the bureau in my room,
+there was a copy of Whispers From Heaven, featuring such articles as
+"Feeding Angels,"
+"When Angels Kiss" and "Rescued by Angels: The
+Amazing Story of a Kidnapping Survivor."
+Gaskin's room had a door that led to the roof, and the first night
+we sat out there and smoked a joint. The next day there was a note taped
+to the door: "The roof is to be used only as a fire escape. Please use the

+"No Smoking" sign on the inside of my door, and the

+Murder At the Conspiracy Convention
+"The history of civilization is the history of warfare
+between secret societies." --Ishmael Reed
+In the men's room at the airport, a man standing at the urinal a
+couple of urinals away from my urinal was urinating without aiming his
+penis. Both hands were flossing his teeth. A monument to multi-tasking.
+I' Il admit that I occasionally brush my teeth while l' m urinating—at least
+that leaves me with one hand free to steer-but this guy could possibly be
+the only human being on earth who pisses and flosses simultaneously.
+He must have practiced at home before he decided to go public.
+And of course he was proud of his manual dexterity. Maybe he even has a
+license plate that says PFLOSS, though other drivers might assume it's his
+name, not his avocation. In any case, that image immediately replaced my
+previous visual mantra: seeing one of the kids on a school bus holding up
+to the window a sign that read HELP US!--and laughing with his
+classmates.
+Now, on Memorial Day weekend, I was catching a flight to San Jose,
+California. I was headed for Conspiracy Con 2001, a convention featuring
+the prophets of the sinister.

+My friend Roy Zimmerman, who writes and sings satirical folk songs
+in the tradition of Tom Lehrer, has a spoken piece of patter which goes: "I
+just got back from the conspiracy convention. Have you been? It's fun.
+Seven hundred conspiracy theorists all in one hotel, with the little name
+tags,
+'Hello, my name is—none of your fucking business!' Great
+seminars- 'Triangulation and You, 'Paranoia for Profit, 'Victoria' s
+Real Secret Was J. Edgar Hoover.' In the lobby, I saw five people get off
+the elevator-what, you think that's a coincidence? There was
+entertainment, of course-a group of horny anti-government folk singers
+called the Randy Weavers."
+Zimmerman was surprised to learn that there would actually be an
+event such as the one that he thought he was making up. Although the
+real conspiracy convention didn' t have the seven hundred attendees he
+had imagined, there were over 500, including 40% from out of state and
+10% from other countries, including Canada, England, Australia, Denmark,
+Austria and Ireland. Also taking place at the Santa Clara Convention Center
+that same weekend as Conspiracy Con was the Charismatic Catholic
+Convention. Dueling religions, together again.

+The leadoff speaker at Conspiracy Con was Cathy O' Brien, who
+claimed to be a victim of the CIA' s MK-Ultra child-sex-slave program,
+Project Monarch. She was introduced by her husband, Mark Phillips, as
+"the love of my life." Phillips claims that, having worked for the CIA,
+where he learned hypnosis, and for a Department of Defense
+subcontractor with exposure to mind-control research, he was able to
+rescue O' Brien, deprogram her and collaborate on their book, Trance
+Formation of America.
+"There is not one person in this audience," he exhorts,
+"that
+could not be legally experimented on, killed or financially destroyed."
+He has the bearing, the cadence and the pompadour of a
+dramatically pious televangelist. He oozes with practiced integrity. In
+contrast, Cathy O' Brien has the demeanor of a guileless, bleached-blond
+checkout cashier in a small-town supermarket who sends money every
+week to her favorite televangelist. She speaks with a certain tremor in her
+voice.
+"Mind control," she warns, "is the most important issue facing
+humanity today."
+She reveals her relationship with Gerald Ford, who was "very much

+who were so horribly abused that they would be used in child
+pornography. When my father was caught sending this pornography
+through the mail, Gerald Ford approached and told him that he could
+receive immunity from prosecution if he would sell me into the project. My
+father eagerly agreed. He was so happy that the government actually
+condoned child abuse that he went on to have five more children to raise
+for the project, so there were seven of us in all. He was never prosecuted
+and remains free for reasons of national security."
+At the age of 13, she met the man "who would become my
+owner" —Senator Robert Byrd. In Trance Formation, she describes their
+first meeting:
+"I undressed and climbed into his bed as ordered. I was
+momentarily relieved to find that his penis was abnormally tiny-so small
+it didn' t even hurt! And I could breathe with it in my mouth! Then he
+began to indulge himself in his brutal perversions, talking on and on about
+how I was 'made just for him' due to the vast amounts of pain I could
+withstand. The spankings and police handcuffs I had previously endured
+were child's play compared to Senator Byrd' s near-death tortures. The
+hundreds of scars on my body still show today.

+"I was one of the only kids in my school who listened to country
+music. But then, Senator Byrd fancied himself a country music fiddler, and
+it was 'my duty to love what he did.' I was ordered to listen to country
+music or no music at all. Music was my psychological avenue for escape, a
+dissociative tool. CIA operator Merle Haggard, who often used well-
+documented cryptic language in his songs pertaining to government mind-
+control slave operations, released songs including 'Freedom Train' and
+'Over the Rainbow.'
+"My father told me repeatedly that Merle Haggard was my

+Senator Byrd remained my 'favorite' fiddler' as ordered. He played
+train songs like 'Orange Blossom Special' while making train sounds on
+his fiddle. Sometimes I was his captive audience, bound and gagged, while
+he played his fiddle. Other times he instructed me to spin round and round
+like a music box dancer in order to add 'new dimensions to our sex.'
+These new dimensions included more and more physical pain through

+Armory, where I was prostituted to Ford. He took me into an empty room,
+pushed me down on the wooden floor as he unzipped his pants and said,
+'Pray on this.' Then he brutally, sexually assaulted me. Afterward, my
+memory was compartmentalized through use of high voltage. I was then

+And then there was Dick Cheney, President Ford's chief of staff.
+After Cathy was hunted down and caught in Cheney's game of "human
+hunting," she stood naked in his hunting-lodge office as he paced around
+and gave her this choice: "I could stuff you and mount you like a
+jackalope and call you a two-legged deer. Or I could stuff you with this--he
+unzipped his pants to reveal his oversized penis--right down your throat
+and then mount you. Which do you prefer?"
+Apparently, Cheney' s oversized penis balanced out Senator Byrd' s
+tiny penis--a tawdry version of Emerson's Law of Compensation.

+upon by country singers such as "CIA operatives" Merle Haggard and

+So who is this Aquino guy? According to Cathy, "In the early 1980s,
+my base programming was instilled at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, by U.S.
+Army Lt. Colonel Michael Aquino. He holds a Top Secret clearance in the
+Defense Intelligence Agency s Psychological Warfare Division (PSYOP).
+He is a professed neo-Nazi, the founder of the Himmler-inspired satanic
+Temple of Set and has been charged with child ritual and sexual abuse at
+the Presidio Day Care in San Francisco. But like my father, Aquino remains
+'above the law' while he continues to traumatize and program CIA-
+destined young minds in a quest to reportedly create the 'superior race'
+of Project Monarch mind-controlled slaves."
+I contacted Aquino, who retired in 1994, and he responded:
+"Not only was I never stationed at Fort Campbell at anytime
+throughout my entire Army career, but l' ve never even visited that
+particular post, on- or off-duty. I have never had any contact at anytime,
+anyplace, anywhere with Cathy O' Brien. I have never programmed sex
+slaves for the government or anyone else. I have never participated in any
+form of child abuse whatever."
+What does he think her motivation is?

+Although I believe that Trance Formation of America is an elaborate
+hoax and Michael Aquino thinks it's in the lunatic fringe, conspiracy
+researcher Robert Sterling perceives a more devious motivation. In
+Apocalypse Culture Il, edited by Adam Parfrey, Sterling writes:
+"Effective disinformation is never an absolute lie. The purpose of
+disinformation is to confuse truth and validity, and to do so, boldfaced les
+are rarely convincing. Effective disinformation mixes truth and deception
+to obfuscate the two. The closer the disinformation approaches truth, the
+more damning it becomes. Then all the disinformation, even the legitimate
+parts, discredits targeted research and ideas.
+"At the time of the release of Trance Formation, there was a
+growing awareness in the conspiracy subculture of intelligence agency
+involvement in satanic ritual abuse. Literature on the subject was reaching
+a critical mass where it could not be ignored. Would intelligence agencies
+devote resources to counteract such information? Not only is it possible, it
+almost certainly has occurred.
+"The CIA, even with an officially acknowledged history of abusing
+people through mind-control experiments (the most famous being MK-
+Ultra), certainly has a vested interest in denying such operations exist,
+especially when the operations are as insidious as sexually abusing

+Konformist editor Sterling wrote to Phillips:
+"I harbored no personal animosity to either you or Ms. O' Brien,
+but I had serious questions about the accuracy of what was in your book.
+Even more disturbing, I had a very bad feeling that, wittingly or not, the

+Memories: The Memoirs of Bob Hope' s and Henry Kissinger' s Mind-

+Mayans. Their pyramids-their advanced astronomical technology
+including the sacrifice of virgins-were supposedly inspired by lizard aliens.
+When the aliens interbred with the Mayans, they produced a form of life

+"To understand humanity," Icke continued, "you have really got
+to understand humanists reptilian past, reptilian inherited genetics. One of
+the most ancient parts of the human brain is known by science as the R
+complex, for reptilian brain. We get these traits-cold-blooded behavior,
+ritualistic behavior, desire for top-down power over structures. Now,
+dismiss the reptilian thing—let's just think they don' t exist—I have just
+described the basic mentality of the Illuminati that allows wars to be
+created, millions of casualties without any emotional attachment to
+consequences. Why do people who have more money than they could
+spend in a thousand lifetimes go on accumulating it? Why do corporations
+that have enormous power and control over vast areas go on
+accumulating and seeking more and more power and control?"
+So, then, is this whole reptilian agenda really just a metaphor for the
+varieties of human cruelty? Or does Icke mean it all literally?
+Previously, Jordan Maxwell had told the audience, "I think the
+dirtiest, the filthiest, the most licentious people on the face of the earth are
+the British royalty. They represent in the human race all that is evil and all

+That there was a conspiracy behind Diana's death seems to be a given

+Conspiracy researchers often start with a premise-who benefits?-and
+work their way backward, molding their perception of reality like Silly Putty
+in order to culminate with the justification of that premise.
+Maxwell continued: "About ten years ago, a young black man
+broke into the Queen Mum's bedroom, and one of her servants
+happened to be walking by and the bedroom door was open a bit, and
+she saw this young black boy in the queen' s bedroom. She quietly went
+to security which came up and arrested him for breaking into the queen' s
+bedroom, but the queen said he didn' t threaten her and he wasn' t
+armed and it was just a childish silly prank, and so she let it slide if he
+promised not to do that any more. James Bond couldn' t break into the
+queen' s bedroom! If there was a young black man in the queen' s
+bedroom in Buckingham Palace, the queen ordered him in like pizza. The
+Queen Mum with her black boyfriend. Tell me about racism."
+That anecdote says something about the queen's human nature,
+but now David Icke added another dimension:
+"Some of the descriptions, like of the British royal family-people
+who claim to have been at the rituals-are of a literal shift. They seem to
+go from one physical state to another, very much in this dimension, which
+from our perspective of this-world physics is like, what? And then others

+From the gospel according to Cathy O' Brien:
+"When Bill and Bob Bennett together sexually assaulted my
+daughter Kelly and me at the Bohemian Grove in 1986, I had already
+known Bill Bennett as a mind control programmer for some time. He
+apparently found perverse pleasure in whipping me. With my wrists
+bruised and my body stinking with pain, Bennett lit up a cigarette and
+cryptically asked, 'Was that your first cum-union with an alien?'
+"[On another occasion] deep underground in NASA' s Goddard
+Space Flight Center mind-control lab near D.C., Bill Bennett began
+preparing me for the program. NASA uses various CIA designer drugs to
+chemically alter the brain and create exactly the mindset required at the
+time. I could barely crawl up onto the cold, metal lab table as the drug
+took effect in the darkness surrounding me, I could hear Bill Bennett
+talking.
+'My brother Bob and I work as one unit. We are alien to this
+dimension-two beings from another plane.'

+House cocktail party-as though I had transformed dimensions and stood
+amongst them. Not recognizing anyone, I frantically asked, 'Who are
+these people?'
+" 'They' re not people, and this isn' t a space ship, Bennett
+said. As he spoke, the holographic scene changed ever so slightly until the
+people appeared to be lizard-like aliens. Welcome to the second level of
+the underground. This level is a mere reflection of the first, an alien

+delusion and intentional propaganda? I contemplated the implications of
+something that Michael Aquino had told me:
+"Part of what we learned in PSYOP was that it's not just the
+propaganda you create that is a factor, but the pre-existing propaganda
+'filters' in target audiences' brains as well. The key has to be designed
+to fit the lock, so to speak. And underlying all this is the challenge to the
+PSYOPerator to extricate himselffrom his own filters--otherwise he will see
+the situation only through his personal distortions and thus be inept at
+influencing it objectively and comprehensively."
+Consequently, propaganda can become a two-way street. For
+example, Cory Hammond, former president of the American Society of
+Clinical Hypnosis, has had many clients who, under hypnosis,
+"remember"
+hideous incidents of satanic rituals, infant sacrifice,
+sadomasochism and coprophilia (get that shit-eating grin off your face).
+Dr. Hammond believes that three groups working together—neo-Nazis,
+the CIA and NASA-have been programming American children for over
+fifty years to make them part of "a Satanic order that will rule the world."
+Likewise, the war on drugs is filtered through a mass of distortions.

+growing, selling, consuming and outlawing of illegal drugs around the

+There are silly conspiracies. Some folks believe that the moon

+On my return fight the next morning, I found myself reminiscing
+about the 1987-88 TV season, when I had been a writer and on-air
+commentator on The Wilton North Report, a nightly satirical hour on the
+Fox network that lasted only 21 shows. Critics blamed the hosts, a pair of
+disc jockeys who were not untalented but who were deliberately chosen
+for their inoffensiveness.
+I had previously suggested as host Conan O' Brien, a writer on the
+show who also did the audience warm-ups. "No," said the producer,
+"he's not professional enough." Ellen DeGeneres? "Too dykey." Chris
+rock? "Too raw." Rosie O' Donnell? "Who wants to look at her every
+night?" Richard Belzer? "Too reptilian." Belzer is a conspiracy researcher
+as well as a comedian and actor, but little did he ever dream that
+ultimately he-his reptilian self-could be the culmination of his own
+investigation.

+Now, back home, the marketing of conspiracy was on a roll.
+Majestic, an interactive computer game revolving around a conspiracy
+involving corporate intrigue, was available. For $10 a month, tens of
+thousands of online players would receive screaming phone calls at
+midnight, faxes, anonymous emails and instant messages from mysterious
+informers directing them to research strange alien conspiracies and
+nefarious government activities. Majestic was suspended on September 12,
+2001.
+The invasion of the United States on September 11th was the
+mother of all conspiracies. Immediately there were those who began
+spinning scenarios of an inside job, an American version of the Reichstag
+Fire, carried out in order to justify the rise of a police state in the guise of
+security procedures. In any case, political opportunism has been providing
+the same results.
+That Halloween, I was invited by producer Andy Meisler to be a
+panelist at the taping of a new TV series, The Conspiracy Zone. Although
+the plot behind the 9/11 terrorists was certainly a topic of conversation in
+the Green Room- "Do you think this is the endgame?" --the official
+subject that evening was the assassination of Robert Kennedy in 1968.

+On the program, hosted by former Saturday Night Live cast member
+Kevin Nealon, I mentioned that Kennedy had once been on the Tonight
+show, telling Johnny Carson that cigarettes kill more people than
+marijuana, and I speculated that Sirhan Sirhan was a hired gun for the
+tobacco companies. On a more literal note, I talked about the ballistics
+Inconsistency; a total of ten bullets was found, though Sirhan' s gun could
+hold only eight.
+And I discussed the fact that psychiatrist Bernard Diamond
+described in Psychology Today how, during the trial, post-hypnotic
+suggestion was used to program Sirhan into climbing the bars of his cell
+like a monkey. However, in the book RFK Must Die, Robert Kaiser, who was
+there, wrote: "Sirhan had no idea what he was doing up on the top of the
+bars. When he finally discovered that climbing was not his own idea, but
+rather Dr. Diamond' s, he was struck with the plausibility of the idea that
+perhaps he had been programmed by some else, in like manner, to kill
+Kennedy."
+There were two others on that TV panel, plus a separate segment
+with a dentist who practices hypnosis.

+and she was drafted into taking Stein' s place. A frequent guest on talk

+Swimming in the Dead Pool
+When Ken Kesey' s son Jed was killed in an accident--the van
+carrying his University of Oregon wrestling team had skidded off a cliff--l
+immediately flew to Oregon. "You were his favorite," Kesey said as we
+embraced, sobbing. "I feel like every cell in my body is exploding,"
+A few days later, several of us old friends were sitting around the
+dining-room table there, and someone mentioned that the Dead
+Kennedys were on tour.
+"I wonder if Ted Kennedy is gonna go see' em," I remarked.
+Kesey, standing in the kitchen, responded, "That' s not funny."
+"You' re right. I apologize. It's not very abstract right now."
+"It' s never abstract."
+I recalled that little dialogue as I began to explore The Game, now in
+its 34th year [2004], the longest-running dead pool in America, currently
+with 125 players. Before January 1st everyone submits 68 names of people
+who might die that year. (Dr. Death, co-founder of The Game, liked to
+work on a legal pad--34 lines, two columns, hence 68 names.) Points are
+awarded according to the age of each dead person--anybody in their 50s
+is worth five points; 60s, four; 70s, three.

+Each participant gets one wild card per year worth five points no
+matter how old the deceased. Gamesters generally pick one-pointers for
+their wild card to get four extra points. Last year, most picked Bob Hope.
+When he died, one Gamester said, "My father was shot during World War
+Il. While recuperating in England, Mr. Hope came up to his bedside and
+stuffed a half-dozen golf balls into his [own] mouth. It cheered my old
+man up."
+Deaths become official when mentioned in the New York Times or

+Since the listees are all on various rungs on the ladder of celebrityhood,

+Trashing the Right to Read
+Before Kenneth Foster's death sentence was revoked at the last
+minute in August 2007, he had read a book, Welcome to the Terrordome,
+and he wrote a letter to the author, Dave Zirin:
+I have never had the opportunity to view sports in this way. And as I went
+through these revelations I began to have epiphanies about the way sports
+a similar existence in prison. The similarities shook me. Facing
+execution, the only thing that I began to get obsessive about was how to
+get heard and be free, and as the saying goes, you can' t serve two gods.
+Sports, as you know, becomes a way of life. You monitor it, you almost
+come to breathe it. Sports becomes a way of life in prison, because it
+becomes a way of survival. For men that don' t have family or friends to
+help them financially, it becomes a way to occupy your time. That' s
+another sad story in itself, but it's the root to many men's obsession
+with sports.
+Zirin writes,
+"It didn' t matter if he was on death row or Park
+Avenue, I felt smarter having read his words. But even more satisfying was
+the thought that thinking about sports took his mind--for a moment--
+away from his imminent death, the 11-year-old daughter he will never
+touch, and the words he will never write. I thought sending him my first
+book, What' s My Name, Fool?: Sports and Resistance in the U.S., would
+be a good follow-up."

+a reasonable person would construe as written solely for the purpose of

+Page 44 includes a quote from Jackie Robinson's autobiography

+the riots consisted of white lynch mobs attacking blacks, and blacks
+fighting back. This reaction to a boxing match was one of the most
+widespread racial uprisings in the U.S. until the 1968 assassination of civil
+rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr."
+Zirin points out that "There was a time in Texas when it was illegal
+to teach slaves to read. The fear was that ideas could turn anger often
+directed inward into action against those with their boots on black necks.
+It is perhaps the most fitting possible tribute to Jackie Robinson and Jack

+News, with a circulation of 9,000. He filed a federal lawsuit challenging the
+ban on First Amendment grounds, and won. His lawyer, Scott Medlock,

+Prison Legal News is also preparing a lawsuit against the Utah
+Department of Corrections for a policy that bars all books except those
+that are shipped directly from Barnes & Noble. Generally, prisons require
+that books be sent directly from the publisher or a major distributor, for
+security reasons.
+Otherwise, a spokesperson for one jail explains,
+"There's a possibility something could be in one of the pages that we
+don' t want. There could be little bits of drugs in the pages."
+"We have not yet sued them." Wright told me, "since they only
+sporadically censor us and aren' t letting us develop a good fact
+pattern."
+A spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff' s Department
+said that its jails allow inmates to receive books from booksellers after
+checking to see whether they can be fashioned into a weapon, promote
+violence or have sexually explicit content. Across the country, only
+paperbacks are accepted. Hardcovers are rejected because they provide
+"source material" for fashioning weapons. When the Supreme Court
+ruled that law libraries did not have to be provided to prisoners, jails in
+Montana not only removed the entire contents of the law library, but they
+also removed the typewriters.

+Washington State has tried to keep Prison Legal News itself out of
+prisons.
+First, the Department of Corrections prohibited inmates from
+receiving nonprofits. PLN sued and won. Next, the state issued a rule that
+inmates couldn' t receive publications that were paid out of their trust
+accounts. PLN managed to get that rule overturned too. Then the prisons
+adopted a policy of not delivering subscription-renewal notices._PLN took
+that to court and succeeded in getting the policy reversed. PLN has won
+similar lawsuits or settlements in Alabama, California, Michigan, Nevada
+and Oregon.
+While serving five years in a California prison for growing medical

+Introduction
+EXPERIMENTS,
+MULTIMEDIA AND
+PUZZLES
+Throughout this book you will come across experiments to try,
+multimedia references to track down, and puzzles to solve.
+You can get additional information at www.jamestagg.com/
+understanding.
+If you undertake an experiment I would appreciate your leaving a
+note of your results on the website and making useful comments on the
+blog.
+Most of the experiments and puzzles are quick and simple. The
+puzzles I have set often benefit from creative thinking. I have made
+finding the answers to these problems a little hard, so you are not
+tempted to cheat. I want you to try to solve the problems and 'feel' your
+brain working.
+This book argues that intuitive thought solves problems in a
+different way to analytical thought. The process takes time and often
+benefits from putting a problem to one side while you use your mind
+to process foreground tasks. I hope you read this book at a time when
+the website is not available - or at least don't peek. Give your intuitive
+thought processes time to work.
+Graham Wallas described the process of creative thinking in 1926
+and I think it is still one of the best models we have:
+First you must prepare and become fully acquainted
+with the problem. It might seem impossible but don't despair,
+just commit to it. Next, you should leave the problem to
+stew - incubation, he called it. After a while, you will feel
+a solution is at hand. You don't quite have it yet but you are

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?
+sure you will. This is intimation. Finally, some inspiration or
+insight will pop into your head - this is the Eureka moment.
+Now you have a solution but intuitive thinking is far from
+infallible. You will need to check the solution and may find
+your answer wrong the first few times. Persevere; you will
+get there in the end.
+As a warm-up exercise, let me give you a simple childhood riddle
+to solve.
+A man lives on the twentieth floor of a skyscraper with an
+old elevator. Each morning he gets into the elevator and
+goes down to the ground floor, but each evening he gets
+into the elevator, travels up to the tenth floor, gets out, and

+opposite each other. One, a neatly suited figure, stares intently at the
+board. You can almost see the heat rising from his head as he processes
+the possibilities before him. The other, sits implacably calm and, before
+each turn, looks to a screen at the side of the board, reads the instruction,
+and makes his move.
+This is the famous match between Garry Kasparov and IBM's Deep
+Blue. Kasparov, a child prodigy, became world chess champion at the age
+of fifteen and, to this day, holds the record for the highest chess ranking
+ever achieved. Some consider him one of the most intelligent people on
+the planet. His opponent, Deep Blue, is a massively parallel chess-playing
+computer built by IBM's Watson Research Laboratory. The machine itself
+sits a few blocks north of the tournament in an air-conditioned room,
+and relays the moves over a phone line to Joe Hoane, the IBM researcher
+who moves the pieces.
+Six months earlier, in Philadelphia, Kasparov won against Deep Blue.
+This is the rematch and has generated a worldwide media frenzy. Tickets
+to the event are sold out and most news organizations give a blow-by-
+blow report each day. On the eighth day of the tournament Kasparov and
+Deep Blue are level pegging. Kasparov is playing an opening he knows
+well. It's one designed to be hard for computers to play and has been
+tested extensively against Fritz, a chess computer Grand Masters use for
+practice. But Deep Blue doesn't seem fazed. Kasparov is visibly tired. On
+the 16* move he makes a dreadful blunder and sinks into despair. An

+king, gets up, and leaves the room. Kasparov has resigned, Deep Blue has
+beaten him 3½ to 2½ points and is now the most powerful chess player
+on the planet.
+Later, when interviewed about his experience, Kasparov thought
+Deep Blue must have been assisted by humans during the games because
+the program appeared to play intuitively. The rules of the tournament
+allowed humans to work on the program between matches, but not
+during actual play. The argument has never been settled, and Deep
+Blue was long ago dismantled. These days chess players avoid big public
+matches against computers, arguing it is really a different sort of game.
+A computer's ability to crunch mathematically through all the many
+possibilities means a chess player must play without error against a
+machine, but can play a more interesting and fluid match against a fellow
+human.
+Chess is computer-friendly because it is a finite problem. You always
+win, lose or draw. The game can't go on forever because any position that
+repeats itself more than three times is declared a draw, and if a player
+makes 50 moves without moving a pawn or taking a piece, the game
+is also declared a draw. In a typical game, each player makes 40 moves,
+and on each turn you can choose from 30 possible moves. Although this
+equates to a huge number of options, it is still a finite number.
+It is possible, therefore, to create a perfect chess-playing machine.
+Such a machine would project any position it encountered through
+every permutation to the endgame. But, although chess is solvable using
+brute force this might not be practical in our Universe. The storage
+required to hold all the possible positions being analyzed would be
+vast - needing most of the atoms in the Universe. You would need to
+pack this information into a small enough space to allow fast retrieval in
+order to play the first 40 moves in two hours. This would require storing
+all the information within a sphere no larger than three light minutes.
+Putting that much data in such a small space would exceed the Hawking
+Bekenstein bound - a limit on the information carrying capacity of
+space-time put forward by Stephen Hawking and Jacob Bekenstein
+- causing the region of space-time to collapse to a black hole! Despite
+these minor technical problems, an ingenious algorithm could be made
+that was unbeatable: chess is essentially computable.
+The term algorithm will often arise in the book, so it is worth giving
+a little history. The word comes from the name of an 8th Century Persian
+mathematician, Al-Khwarizmi, and means a step-by-step procedure. We
+use one whenever we do long division or look up a phone number on

+But, it transpires, Emily is a computer, the brainchild of David

+Philip Glass. The compositions would get a reasonable technical score in
+an exam, better than many of my attempts, but are these compositions
+truly art?
+There's no question computers are gaining ground on us in certain
+mathematically oriented tasks - playing chess, musical composition, and
+various modeling tasks. But attempts to have them work with words and
+ideas have generally produced dismal results. Until now.
+In 2008, IBM unveiled Watson: a computer capable of answering
+general knowledge questions. Watson has an enormous database of
+human knowledge: the Encyclopedia Britannica, a billion web pages,
+the entire text of Wikipedia and millions of books. It uses artificial
+intelligence to trawl through this vast reservoir of knowledge and answer
+questions using a statistical approach. In 2011, Watson featured as a
+contestant on Jeopardy, the American quiz show, where it beat the two
+record-holding contestants - the one with the highest number of wins
+and the one with most consecutive wins. Let me give you a few sample
+questions and see how you fare.

+of Wallachia and Moldavia"
+inspired this author's most
+famous Novel.
+Its largest airport is named
+for a World War II hero; its
+second largest, for a World
+War II battle.
+Watson answered questions one and two correctly but failed on
+question three. You can probably see the final question is posed in poorly
+structured English and this threw off Watson's comprehension algorithm.

+Man v Machine
+re humans advanced computers with a temporary hold on the title,
+A tien on the part or are is in mall
+, different?
+We are extraordinarily creative, but we can't add up as
+well as a cheap pocket calculator. We have poor memories, but we can
+use common sense to solve problems we have never seen before. Our
+communication skills are woefully imprecise, but we can tell jokes that
+send our fellow humans into paroxysms of laughter. We might conclude
+humans are not computers, but the scientific consensus is that brains
+are wet computers'. I don't agree with this and I'm going to set out the
+argument to show why man is not a computing machine.
+There is an urban legend we think with only 10% of our brains. This
+is not true. Science has mapped the vast majority of the human brain
+using two methods. The first, an amazing set of noninvasive imaging
+techniques, allows us to 'see the brain as it thinks. The second is more
+macabre: with seven billion humans on the planet, enough accidents
+occur through sports injuries, car crashes and surgical mistakes to
+provide a large enough sample to conduct research. Questioning
+patients with brain-damage allows us to work out what the injured part
+did before the accident.
+One famous patient had an accident where the blade of a toy
+sword went up his nose and damaged a small part of his amygdala and
+hippocampus, the area of the brain responsible for storing memory. This
+rendered the man unable to lay down permanent memories after the

+funny and laugh uproariously. A few minutes later, you could tell the
+same joke and he would find it just as funny as the first time. For him,
+every time was the first time, because he had lost the ability to record
+long-term memories. The syndrome is wonderfully depicted in the film
+50 First Dates starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. Another
+patient with specific stroke damage was unable to recall the names of
+fruits but, oddly, could still name vegetables. Interestingly tomatoes
+presented a particular problem. He had probably never known how to
+catalogue them so they were partially remembered in both areas.
+There are many such medical cases. In Oliver Sachs' The Man who
+Mistook his Wife for a Hat, the author relates the tale of a man with visual
+agnosia who could not reliably name familiar objects, including his own
+wife! He had a perfectly loving relationship with her but simply could
+not name her from a picture. Sachs, Professor of Neurology at New York
+University School of Medicine, provides many such fascinating stories,
+along with their medical backgrounds.
+The fruit and vegetable case suggests our brains are organized like a
+filing cabinet. When we damage a part of the brain, it's like losing a drawer:
+All the information stored in that drawer is lost. Quite a few experiments
+contradict this model and indicate many tasks are distributed around the
+brain. The curious case of blindsight is one such example. People with
+a damaged visual cortex can often recognize objects despite reporting
+they have no sensation of vision. Show them a shape and they will report
+they can see nothing. Ask them to name the shape and they might even
+get a little irritated by the question; they are blind after all. But, ask them
+to guess the shape and they will get it right every time. Seeing is more

+widely distributed in the brain than was first thought. Conscious seeing
+is based in the visual cortex, but there are older pathways still active in
+the brain that facilitate this unconscious seeing.
+The brain is very plastic. Lose your sight through damage to the eye
+or optic nerve, and the brain can repurpose the visual cortex to other
+uses such as processing sound or touch. Daniel Kish has developed this
+to such a high level that he can ride a bicycle despite being blind. He
+clicks his tongue against the roof of his mouth and uses echolocation
+to form an auditory model of the world around him. Using a similar
+approach, Amir Amedi from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has
+built an audio imager that turns pictures of the world into musical sound
+patterns. CAT scans of people using this system show they use the visual
+cortex to convert these sound images into models of the world in similar
+parts of the brain to a sighted person.
+We now know roughly what each part of the brain does, but we
+have no idea how it does it. The scale of an individual thought is too
+small to see in a brain scan. All we can do is observe large-scale electrical
+activity associated with those thoughts. A video, from a group at Tokyo
+University, shows an example of electrical activity filmed in real time
+as a fish hunts for its prey. Fish have transparent bodies and thin skulls
+facilitating this sort of imaging. Humans are much harder subjects to
+work with!
+The most popular theory to explain how brains work is as some form
+of computer. Computers are easy to study because we manufacture them.

+These systems allow us to watch a computer think and, since they think
+symbolically, we can easily read their minds.
+Unfortunately computers don't display many human-like thoughts.
+They don't laugh and cry, they don't report consciousness and they don't
+appear to exercise free will or display creative impulses. This is frustrating
+because these are the thoughts we would most like to study. It might be
+that computers are not yet powerful enough, and in another few years
+they will be giving Mozart a run for his money. But there may also be
+a fundamental difference which renders them incapable of this sort of
+thinking. This is the crux of the modern scientific debate: do humans
+think differently?
+Computer Brains
+On the face of it, humans and computers behave very differently. Our
+memories are poor, but we understand things. We are creative, but bad
+at mathematics. We learn by example, computers are programmed.
+We are emotional, impulsive and appear to have free will. Computers
+are ordered, predictable, but lack common sense. Both humans and
+computers appear to be physical, discrete systems. We both take inputs,
+generate outputs and are capable of solving similar problems. Indeed,
+each time we examine a problem solved by humans we usually find we
+can automate it. This is known as 'knowledge engineering' and there are
+many examples; from aerospace to finance, and architecture to medicine.
+An example of where computers excel is in medical diagnosis.
+ISABEL is a clinical diagnosis program designed to help ER doctors
+quickly diagnose critical patients. It was created by the parents of Isabel
+Maude, a little girl who presented with multiple symptoms to an ER unit.
+Doctors were initially confused by the symptoms and misdiagnosed
+her condition. She was later diagnosed with meningitis. Isabel suffered
+multiple organ failure but survived. Her parents realized there was
+something wrong with the ER triage process. They got together with
+some computer scientists and built the expert system 'ISABEL. When
+ER doctors are presented with symptoms, they must mentally scan a vast
+array of literature to rule in and out possible diagnoses. The problem-
+solving process is not linear; if you've ever watched the TV series House
+it gives a great dramatization of the process. Certain symptoms might
+suggest a diagnosis but are not conclusive, and there are many paths to
+explore. Programmers have taken the heuristic rules from many doctors
+and codified them into software. ISABEL allows a doctor to input a set

+understand its power. When we talk about computers today we mean
+machines, but it is worth noting computers in Turing's time were more
+often humans using pencil and paper. The mechanical computers before
+Turing were elementary at best.
+Rudimentary calculating machines were developed in Greece,
+Persia and China as far back as the Ming Dynasty. An astrolabe recovered
+from a ship wreck off the Greek Island of Antikythera had cogs and gears

+Mind over Computer
+17
+In 1935, Turing was made a Fellow
+of King's College, Cambridge, and became
+interested in
+whether
+mathematical
+proofs could be found automatically.
+He wanted to know whether solving a
+mathematical puzzle was simply a matter
+of working through all the possibilities in a
+methodical manner, or whether something
+more subtle was required. Although chess
+is a fantastically complex game, it is finite,
+a big enough, fast enough computer can
+play the perfect game. Is this the case
+with discovering knowledge? Could a big
+enough, fast enough computer calculate all
+the knowledge in the Universe? Is Douglas
+Adams' fabled computer Deep Thought a
+possibility, able to calculate the answer to
+the ultimate question of life, the Universe
+and
+everything, albeit with a more
+enlightening answer than 42?
+Turing boiled down the process
+of pencil and paper computation to a
+Model of the Antikythera
+systematic program - a computer program.
+Mechanism
+He proposed a thought experiment where he would run every possible
+program and see if such a procedure would yield the solution to every
+imaginable mathematical problem. He was able to show this would lead
+to a paradox and concluded the universal problem solver could not exist.
+His discovery is one of the most important of the 20th century - in the
+same league as relativity and quantum mechanics - and I will use it as
+my main tool in trying to explain the difference between brains and
+computers.
+Although Turing's original paper was not intended as a blueprint
+for a practical device, he was one of those rare mathematicians who also
+liked to tinker with real world machines. The outbreak of the Second
+World War made the practical application of his work very important,
+and in Chapter 8 I will relate some of the code breaking stories that were
+to make him famous and caused Churchill to credit him with shortening
+the war by two years.
+Calling Turing's work an 'invention' is probably the wrong term;
+'discovery' might be more appropriate. Whatever you call it, people
+immediately equated human brains with computers. This is not new.

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?
+Each time a new advance in technology is made, people use it to explain
+the working of the brain. The ancient Greeks thought the brain was a
+fire consuming oxygen. When Alexander Graham Bell invented the
+telephone, the nervous system resembled a maze of wires and the brain
+an exchange. Brains were obviously a sophisticated telephone system.
+This idea has some potentially frightening consequences, particularly in
+light of the speed at which computers are improving.
+The most striking feature of computer technology is the rate of
+development. Cars travel faster than a person's legs will carry them,
+machines manufacture things faster than our hands are capable of
+working. If brains are computers, surely it is just a matter of time before
+they will think faster than humans. Turing predicted this would happen
+when computers reached the level of storing around 10 billion units of
+information. This happened some time in mid-2000. But today, in the
+year 2014, I can report that although my computer can beat me at chess,
+it still cannot fill out my expense report for me. So I am still ahead!
+Maybe Turing just got the mathematics wrong. The human brain
+has about 10,000 times more neurons than our most powerful computers
+have logic gates. By this calculation, it's not a billion units of storage we
+need but, a trillion trillion units to put the computer on a par with a
+human brain. It's just a matter of time!
+The worrying thing - especially for fans of the 'computers taking
+over the world' science fiction genre - is that computers are improving
+exponentially fast in line with Moore's Law, and the parity point is
+coming soon. Gordon Moore founded Intel with Andy Grove, and ran
+the engineering department there for more than 20 years. According
+to Moore's Law, the power of a computer doubles approximately every
+18 months. The next significant event in the computer versus human
+competition is the gate count parity point - the moment when the
+number of logic gates and the number of neurons become equal. By my
+reckoning this will happen some time in 2053.
+Don't despair. There may be a few dodges yet. The gate parity point
+assumes a logic gate and a neuron are equally powerful. However, some
+single cell organisms with only one neuron
+are capable of complex
+behaviors, such as hunting prey and avoiding obstacles. To perform these
+simple behaviors, a computer would need as many as 10,000 logic gates,
+about the complexity of my TV remote control. This gives us a bit more
+breathing space. The extra four orders of magnitude push the gate parity
+point out to around 2080, too late for me to see, but certainly within the
+bounds of some readers of this book.

+To give you some idea of how Moore's Law works, the graph shows
+growth in computing power over time; the y-axis is a logarithmic plot
+using engineering notation. Because the growth is exponential we rapidly
+end up with very large numbers. Scientists use a special notation to cope
+with these large and small numbers. In scientific notation a number
+is written out in a compact form. For example, three hundred can be
+written as 3.0 x 102. To expand it back to a regular number you move the
+decimal point in 3.0 two spots to the right, making the number 300.0. A
+similar technique is used for small numbers. To expand 3.0 × 102 move
+the decimal point 2 points to the left, giving 0.03. Why use scientific
+notation? Well, once the numbers get large they would no longer fit on
+a page! We can shorten the representation of numbers even further by
+dropping the '3.0 x' part and just looking at the order of magnitude.
+The number 108, one with eighty zeroes after it, is the number of atoms
+in the Earth, and 10120 the number of particles in the known Universe.

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?
+nephew of the famous American mathematician Edward Kasner, and
+subsequently the inspiration for the name 'Google, the Internet search
+engine.
+Ray Kurzweil, the prolific inventor and futurologist, is fascinated
+by this exponential growth. Exponential curves grow slowly to start with
+but they pick up speed rapidly and, in the end, growth tends towards
+infinity. We are all painfully acquainted with one example of exponential
+growth: The common cold. Each infected cell in our body releases
+virus particles into the blood which infect further cells, leading to an
+exponential increase. This makes us feel rotten. Luckily our immune
+system can also respond exponentially, albeit somewhat delayed, so we
+survive. In the case of computer power there is no opposing immune
+system fighting back, so Kurzweil thinks computers will achieve almost
+limitless processing power; perhaps even within our lifetime. He thinks
+this will lead to some interesting consequences, for example, allowing
+people to live forever! Far-fetched? Follow his argument.
+The two most important elements in keeping us alive are medical
+imaging, to see what is wrong; and genetic engineering, to fix those
+things. Both are improving in line with digital technology, doubling
+in power every 18 months. As computers get better at seeing into our
+bodies, and our ability to sequence and synthesize spare parts improves,
+we will reach a point where we can fix almost any problem. Kurzweil
+figures technology is improving and his body is decaying at just the right
+rate to mean by the time he needs heavy duty medical intervention it will
+be available. Barring a traffic accident or mad-axe-murderer, he should
+live forever. Even if his calculation is slightly off, the next generation will
+definitely have this option.
+You might dismiss this as science fiction, but some amazing things
+are already happening. Recently a female patient in the USA suffering
+from bone cancer had her jaw replaced with a 3D printed component.
+Doctors were able to scan her head and take an image of the good side of
+her jaw, flip it right to left within the computer and repair any problems
+they saw. Then they sent the image to a 3D printer. The printer made a
+new jaw from tungsten powder, which was fused in a kiln. The final stage
+was to cover the metal part with an inert bone-like substance to give
+the human body a scaffolding on which to build real bone. They then
+performed the operation to remove her old jaw and replace it with the
+new one: result, brand new healthy jaw.
+There are some practical limits to the power of computers on the
+horizon. Currently, the wires in a silicon chip are about twenty-two
+nanometers wide. That's around a thousandth of the width of a human

+hair, or approximately two hundred atoms wide. To match the complexity
+of a brain we will need to pack an order of ten million more gates into
+a silicon chip. One way to achieve this is to simply shrink the wires, but
+when we get down to around ten atoms wide, quantum effects begin to
+dominate. Signals in today's chips involve tens of thousands of electrons.
+We normally think of these electrons as a group, but in these tiny circuits
+we need to consider the behavior of each individual electron. Problems
+arise as this behavior is subject to quantum uncertainty. With only ten
+electrons there is a finite probability that none of them will be where you
+were expecting them to be. This causes problems for digital logic. You
+can't put a 'l' in a memory location and be sure when you come to read it
+you will get a 'l' back. You have to factor in the possibility of error.
+Quantum effects can be annoying - requiring us to devise all
+manner of error checking hardware - but they can also be helpful.
+Richard Feynman proposed using quantum bits, 'qubits, to perform
+computation. Quantum computers can calculate many times faster than
+a classical computer because a single bit can represent more than one
+piece of information. Enterprising entrepreneurs are making use of this
+effect to build the next generation of devices, and you can already buy a
+512 qubit computer from a Canadian company called D-Wave.
+The biggest problem with building more powerful conventional
+chips is their area is reaching the manufacturing limit for economic
+viability. Silicon wafers contain random spots of damage and, as a
+chip gets larger, the chance it will have one of these spots approaches
+certainty. One solution is to use the third dimension and print the logic

+gates so that they communicate in the vertical direction as well. Intel
+demonstrated the first three-dimensional chip in 2004, and these chips
+should begin to appear in our laptops by around 2020.
+Taking a chip into the third dimension solves the economic
+problem but adding logic gates to a 3D chip presents a new problem
+- heat. Heat is generated in proportion to the volume of the chip but
+it can only be lost through the surface area. Result: the chip overheats.
+Large animals have the same problem which is why elephants have huge
+ears, filled with blood vessels, they can flap to cool themselves and really
+big mammals, such as whales, live in the ocean. The thermal problem
+is now the biggest problem in most computer designs. One data point
+suggests we could solve this problem, the human brain. We pack huge
+processing power into our skulls without overheating by using a variety
+of techniques, including folding the surface of the brain, running each
+neuron very slowly and maybe even using quantum mechanics. A very
+recent discovery is that brains could be using quantum effects to transmit
+signals. If true - and the research has only been recently published -
+it means we may use a form of high-temperature superconductivity to
+avoid overheating. More on this in Chapter 4.
+Excluding exotic quantum effects, the main difference between
+computer and human brains is their processing architecture. Brains
+use slow, asynchronous logic to process information rather than the
+fast, synchronous type used in modern day computers. Logic gates in
+today's computers work all the time, even when there is nothing to do.
+For example, if I multiply 2 by 3 on my laptop the entire multiply circuit,
+designed to work on 20 digit numbers will still operate, and, even worse,
+it will operate on every tick of the master clock even if there is nothing
+to multiply. The brain, by contrast, works only as it needs; unused gates
+don't operate. This gives a massive reduction in unnecessary power
+consumption. Wed like to use this technique in modern computers but
+it is very difficult to implement. Tiny changes in timing cause completely
+different operation and this makes them hard to test. We accept this
+sort of problem in humans, calling it 'human error, but we count on
+computers to behave absolutely reliably, so full-blown asynchronous logic
+is not likely to appear anytime soon. Some of these ideas, however, have
+made their way into today's consumer devices. For example, the chips
+in the latest iPhone contain two CPUs: a small slow one operating when
+the phone is dormant in your pocket, and a large fast one that switches
+on when you need the power for a game or other high performance task.

+IQ Test
+Humans are intelligent. (If you disagree with this premise then
+you're going to have a problem with this argument!) If you talk to a
+computer and cannot tell it from a human, it must also be intelligent:
+QED. The logic is sound but somehow feels wrong. It neatly, but
+irritatingly, sidesteps the whole problem of defining intelligence.
+In 1912, William Stern devised a method for measuring intelligence
+in children. He named it 'IQ' from the German Intelligenz-Quotient.
+You may have taken one of these tests at school. The tests consist of a
+series of abstract reasoning problems that minimize cultural references.
+For example, you might be asked to look at a set of blocks with dots on
+them and identify which is the odd one out. Numerous versions of the
+test have been developed over the years, but nowadays we mostly use one
+of three standard tests, Wechsler being the most common.
+Measuring intelligence is complicated. Culture and language play a
+big part. If we take a tribe of Amazonian Indians and ask them to list the
+presidents of the United States, they will fail. That does not mean they're
+stupid. Drop me into the Amazon Rainforest and I will probably starve
+to death; they, on the other hand, can live off the land as hunter-gatherers
+with only a few hours work per day. Who is more intelligent?
+One problem with IQ is that individual candidate scores can differ
+wildly from test to test, sometimes by as much as 20 points. That's huge. At
+the high end of the scale it can be the difference between being classified
+as smart or as a genius; and, at the low end, between being average or
+mentally subnormal. These variations don't usually matter and most
+universities and colleges take IQ with a pinch of salt, preferring more
+specific tests such as SATs in America, the Baccalaureate in Europe or A
+levels in the UK. IQ can be very important; and is sometimes a matter of

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?
+life or death. In Atkins v. Virginia, the US Supreme Court found a person
+with mental disability, defined as having an IQ of less than 80, cannot be
+executed.
+IQ is not really a measurement, in the normal sense. Most
+measurements in life are absolute, for example, distance, weight, and time.
+I can prove my house is bigger than yours using a tape measure. We each
+ensure our measures are the same by calibrating them against a common
+reference. In the 1900s we could have walked down to the local town hall
+and checked our measurements against a yardstick. As measurements
+became standardized, these sticks were compared with a common central
+reference. For example, the metre was a platinum-iridium bar kept at the
+Pavillon de Breteuil near Paris. In the 1960s, a laser superseded the metal
+reference, and today a metre is defined as 1,650,763.73 wavelengths of the
+orange-red emission line in the electromagnetic spectrum of krypton-86
+in a vacuum. Measurement has become very precise!
+Intelligence is different. It has no yardstick. If I were to ask, "How
+much intelligence does it take to design a building?" there's no simple
+answer. IQ is not an absolute measurement - it's a relative score. Test
+100 people and list their scores in order. The ones in the middle get a
+score of 100; the top 5 a score of at least 130 and the top person a score
+of 140. Similarly at the lower end. A person with a high IQ is probably
+smarter than one with a low IQ, but it doesn't tell you if the building
+they designed will stand up. It's rather like quoting the odds of a horse
+winning the Derby. Quoting the odds does not give the speed of the
+horse, nor often the winner of the race!
+Despite attempts by test creators to remove cultural bias, it can
+never be completely eliminated. Certain Amazonian tribes have no
+concept of counting above five. For them, numbers are an alien idea and
+serve no useful purpose in their habitat. In the jungle there are always
+enough trees to make spears, and as a hunter-gatherer you simply need
+to know where to find your prey. There is no need to count animals into
+an enclosure at night. Another interesting environment is the Australian
+Outback. Aboriginal Australians appear to have a remarkable aptitude for
+visio-spatial memory and can remember maps or collections of objects
+much better than you or I. Tests for this skill involve playing a variant
+of Pelmanism. A collection of objects is placed on a tray and covered
+with a cloth. The cloth is lifted for 60 seconds to reveal the location and
+type of objects and then replaced. Subjects are then given a bucket full of
+objects and asked to recreate the tray. You and I do a modest job. Native
+Australians do this almost perfectly. Why?

+In the vast, inhospitable Outback it is vitally important you
+remember that water can be found at the two rocks near the old gnarled
+tree. Forget this and you will die of thirst. It was once thought the skill
+evolved through natural selection, but this might not be the correct
+explanation. Recent studies show many of us can use mnemonic tricks
+to significantly improve our memory. Aboriginal skills might actually be
+learned and passed on from generation to generation.
+IQ gives us a way to sum up intelligence using a single number
+but is this too simplistic? We all have friends who would be our first
+call if we met that special someone or lost our jobs. They are often not
+the smartest people we know, but they are highly empathetic. These
+people have social intelligence. Other friends may fail academic tests
+yet demonstrate wonderful musical or artistic ability. They have creative
+intelligence. As we dig deeper, more talents emerge: sporting prowess,
+organizational brilliance, the ability to inspire loyalty. All these traits
+appear independently of academic brilliance.
+During the last century, scientists worked hard to understand these
+different intelligence traits. The most influential theory came out of
+studies done at the United States Army Educational testing service, by
+Raymond Cattell and John Horn, and later added to by John Carroll.
+Their initials give the theory its name. CHC theory breaks down the
+general idea of intelligence into many different subgroups: 'G' factors.
+If you are good at recalling all the kings and queens of England
+in chronological order, or can name every member of the 1966 English
+World Cup team or, perhaps, all the members of the baseball Hall of Fame,
+you would have high 'crystalized intelligence - 'Gc. It measures the sum
+total of all the things you have learned and retained in your long-term
+memory, your store of useful, and useless, facts. On the other hand there
+is innate intelligence, the sort that allows you to solve problems where
+tapping memory banks is not useful. My family often buy me puzzles for
+Christmas, the sort where you manipulate bits of bent metal that appear
+linked, but can be separated
+with a little ingenuity. These
+puzzles test our ability to work
+with problems we have never
+seen before and is called 'fluid
+intelligence - 'Gf.
+We can go further. A good
+tennis player will have high 'Gt'
+and 'Gv' scores: t' for time and
+'Y for vision, a good pub quiz

+contestant a high 'Glr' score - Ir' denoting for long-term retrieval. Carol
+Vorderman, a UK game show presenter famous for mental arithmetic,
+would have a good 'Ga' score, 'q' for quantitative numerical skills. With
+all these types of intelligence to choose from it begs the question,
+"Is there
+a single master intelligence from which the rest follow?"
+Political correctness plays a part here. It feels rather elitist to say
+smart people are good at everything. It is far nicer to think we each have
+our individual talents and some just have a few more than others. But
+that's not what the science tells us. 'Group Intelligence - the overall G
+score - does appear to be the underlying cause of the other types of
+intelligence, and smart people do tend to be good all-rounders. However,
+there is one major flaw in the analysis; the studies only measure the
+subjects' ability to pass academic tests, they don't look at our success in
+real-life, nor our creativity.
+Lewis Terman began the longest running study of intelligence
+and its relationship to life success back in the 1920s. It continues to this
+day. A group of 1500 children with high IQs were selected and tracked
+throughout their lives. Terman assumed their high IQs would result in
+them being very successful. They certainly did well, but studies show
+they did no better than if they had been chosen randomly from the same
+area (all the children came from around Stanford University). Famously
+two children, William Shockley and Luis Alvarez, tested too low to be
+chosen for the study but went on to win Nobel Prizes for Physics in 1956
+and 1968, respectively.
+There are many similar anecdotes: Apparently stupid people go on
+to great things. Einstein's teacher famously stated he would never amount
+to anything and Sir John Gurdon's school report said he was 'too stupid'
+for science. He went on to discover monoclonal antibodies for which he
+was awarded a Nobel Prize! Scientists have now devised the alternative
+theory of an intelligence tidemark. Once above this level - an IQ of
+about 130 - you can pretty much do anything you want to. This might be
+because one very important type of intelligence - creative intelligence - is
+not highly correlated with the rest. Creative people tend to be sufficiently
+intelligent for their field but once above that threshold the relationship
+breaks down. Success in creative endeavors seems to reflect strength of
+character and creative aptitude rather than raw brainpower.
+Physical Basis of Intelligence
+The high correlation between different sorts of academic intelligence
+suggests we might find a physical process within the brain leading to

+high IQ. Functional MRI scans show intelligent people use more neurons
+when tackling a given mental task, perhaps bringing to bear greater raw
+horsepower, but this is not really an explanation. It is akin to saying Usain
+Bolt runs faster because he gets more power to his legs. This is obvious.
+What we want to know is how.
+The problem with looking at brains for a common cause is the
+variation from brain to brain. We all have different genes and life
+experiences. On top of this, we really only see brains post mortem and
+this tends to confound comparisons of brain structure. One way to
+minimize the variation is to use separated identical twins. Twins have
+identical genes so their fundamental hardware is the same. We should be
+able to see features of the brain that are common to smart sets of twins but
+absent in less smart pairs. If a feature is not shared it can be discounted as
+something accidental, caused by disease, environment, or the like.
+When we examine smart twins, they appear to have greater
+myelination of their neurons. Myelin is a flat protein that acts as an
+insulating sheath, wrapping the nerves and the neurons in our brain.
+Myelination appears to be part of the mechanism involved in laying
+down long-term memory - more myelin, more memories. It may also
+help sustain signals and allow them to move faster over a longer distance:
+the increased insulation allowing the brain to include information from
+more distant parts of the brain within a given thought. But increased
+myelination may be an effect of higher intelligence rather than a cause.
+The brain is responsible for a significant part of our overall energy
+consumption so insulating the neurons might simply help with energy
+conservation. This is an active area of research.
+Evolution also gives a clue to the causes of intelligence. Humans,
+nonhuman primates, and dolphins all share spindle neurons. These
+spread across the brain and appear to help us coordinate complex
+actions between the different parts. The high function intelligence that
+characterizes these disparate species requires a great deal of cooperation
+between different areas of the brain. Take playing a musical instrument.
+This uses physical coordination (motor cortex), sound processing
+(auditory cortex), rhythm (another part of the motor cortex), along
+with emotional interpretation (amygdala). Humans have more spindle
+cells than other animals so this might explain our superior ability in
+performing these complex tasks.
+However plausible these ideas, they are all hardware arguments. It
+is like me saying my word processor is better than yours because it has
+gold plated connectors. That might be true - it might allow the machine
+to run a little faster without electrical errors creeping in, but we all know

+it's software that matters. A great computer game is great because it is
+cleverly written and has beautiful graphics. The speed of the hardware
+might help, but it does not define 'great'.
+Can we see these software effects in the brain?
+No, unfortunately, this is where our imaging technologies fail. They
+lack sufficient resolution. We would need 100,000 times more resolution
+to see our thoughts, even assuming we would recognize thought if we saw
+it. There is no reason to believe the brain lays out thinking in anything
+resembling the computer software we are accustomed to reading.
+There is one exceptional group of people that does show a software
+difference on a large-scale - chess players. It seems Chess Masters use
+a different part of their brain to process information about chess than
+you and I. This can be clearly seen on scans of the brain and is such a
+gross effect it even shows up in old-fashioned EEGs - where electrodes
+are taped to your head. Interestingly the effect can be used to predict
+greatness. Players likely to become Grand Masters show they use a
+different part of their brain from the rest of us at an early age. Chess
+players possess the only large scale wiring difference we know of, but
+there is another group with a visible physical difference, London taxi
+drivers. Their hippocampi are noticeably larger than the rest of ours. The
+hippocampus does many things, but one of its most significant jobs is to
+memorize maps. The three years it takes to acquire the knowledge' and
+the subsequent years of navigating London's complex streets give cabbies
+a 30% larger hippocampus than the average London resident.
+Is Intelligence Static?
+We've all seen the headline. Every summer public examination results
+come out and every year is pronounced a record breaker! Year after year,
+students get better and better grades. This creates a problem. There's is no
+better grade than an A - and eventually all students get As. Welcome to
+grade inflation - a problem affecting systems the world over, from British
+'A' levels to Harvard grade point averages. Newspapers are awash with
+stories bemoaning the dumbing down of today's tests. "Examinations
+aren't what they used to be."
+Grade inflation undoubtedly exists and studies of undergraduate
+grades show progressive compression into the top grades, most competent
+students get 'A's, making it difficult to distinguish a good student from a
+great one.

+At first glance, the problem appears to be one of social engineering.
+Teachers don't want to disappoint, and academic institutions want to
+improve on last year's results. The people awarding the grades often have
+a vested interest in those grades improving. Even a tiny positive bias in
+the most scrupulously honest teacher is enough for grades to creep up.
+However, grade inflation might not be purely a matter of over enthusiastic
+teachers. IQ scores are also rising. Welcome to the Flynn Effect.
+James Flynn, Emeritus Professor of Political Studies at the
+University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand, reported in 1987 that
+IQ scores rise over time throughout the world. All told the population
+gains about one IQ point every three years, and approximately every
+ten years IQ tests have to be re-calibrated, so the average student once
+again receives the average grade. This is a mystery. It is a large effect and
+cannot be explained by the rote learning of lots of sample questions. The
+human race is either rapidly getting smarter or the least smart members
+of society are coming up to the general average fast; either way it means
+there are fewer dumb people around. The Flynn Effect has recently
+slowed in western countries, suggesting it might be that intelligence is
+converging rather than increasing overall. Another interesting fact is
+people become more intelligent as they age, gaining about one IQ point
+every ten years. Against the stereotype, it's not all downhill after forty.
+There is hope for me yet!
+Until recently we thought IQ was fixed, but new research contradicts
+this. Muscles get stronger with exercise, physical skills, such as playing
+golf and tennis, improve with practice; why not intelligence? Scientists
+used to believe brains couldn't get smarter; you had the IQ you were
+born with. You might learn more stuff' during your life, but the G factor
+stayed the same. It looks like this is wrong and we were simply not using
+the right exercises.
+In 2008, Susanne Jaeggi and Martin Buschkuehl, of the University
+of Maryland, modified an intelligence test into a game and showed
+playing the game improved 'fluid' intelligence and increases IQ. They
+believe playing their game helps improve working memory - the short-
+term memory we use for storing sums as we do mental arithmetic -
+or remembering telephone numbers. Previous attempts to improve
+IQ through practice had not shown much success as the skills did not
+transfer between tests, but working memory is such a useful thing it
+appears to help across the board.
+These factors argue against intelligence being a hardware feature of
+our brain. It does not remain static but instead improves with age, time,
+and education.

+At the beginning of the chapter, I said Garry Kasparov was once
+thought to be one of the most intelligent people on the planet. When
+his IQ was eventually tested - the German magazine Der Spiegel put up
+the money - he scored 135. That means, in academic terms, he is smart
+but no genius. Yet, he is undoubtedly a genius by any common sense
+definition: the best chess player to ever live. These days he involves himself
+in politics rather than chess and is still uniquely able to concentrate for
+long periods of time. Concentration seems a very important factor.
+Einstein was once asked where his genius came from. He replied that
+he did not consider himself a genius but instead put his success down to
+his persistence and ability to concentrate on a problem for many years.
+IQ tests say nothing of our ability to concentrate over extended periods
+and nothing about our drive to change the world. The tests are, at best,
+a useful but dangerous diagnostic tool for educators. One of the worst
+things IQ can do is pigeonhole people. Would Kasparov have become
+world champion if he had been given his IQ score of 135 as a teenager
+rather than late in his thirties after he had conquered the world?

+The Learning Brain
+uman beings are born with an extraordinary ability to learn
+babies as young as three weeks understand musical ideas,
+smiling as you play music to them in a major key and frowning at music
+in a minor key. By six months, babies have learned to distinguish the
+relationship between objects, and by two, they have a command of
+language and are beginning to develop a theory of self. They understand
+how to lie and become adept at playing parents off against each other!
+Sugata Mitra, of Newcastle University, has run an experiment in
+India to test minimally invasive education called the 'Hole in the Wall
+Project. As the name suggests, he cut a hole in the wall of a building in
+Delhi and put a computer in it. The hole opens out onto a slum district
+and local children rapidly discovered the computer. Without any formal
+training they picked up the necessary skills and very soon became adept
+at searching the Web. Remember, in order to 'pick up' this skill they often
+had to learn the English language as well.
+Another example showing children's innate ability to learn is Nicolas
+Negropontes 'One Laptop per Child' program, which gives computers to
+children in remote villages around the world. The laptops are a triumph of
+cost engineering but are fully functional and can connect to the Internet.
+The inspiration for the project came from an analysis of the economics

+for them to stock the machine, employ someone to tell you about it, and
+fix it if it goes wrong in the first year. Value for money improvements
+have all focused on faster processors, more memory, sharper displays
+and larger hard drives, not lower prices. These improvements are useful if
+you want to shoot aliens, but overkill if you only want to surf the Internet
+and learn the '3 Rs. So the 'One Laptop per Child' project has developed
+a device for $100.
+Negroponte is often asked how he deals with the maintenance and
+repair issues. His answer,
+"There aren't any." The computers are treasured
+possessions and rarely broken or lost. Children become empowered by
+the machines and can access knowledge and information far beyond the
+wildest dreams of their parents'
+generation. Stories abound of children
+checking the spot prices for wheat or coffee on the Chicago Stock
+Exchange, and advising their parents on the price to accept for their
+crop. Negroponte estimates there are currently 500,000 children in South
+America teaching their parents to read!
+It's interesting to speculate whether children learn spontaneously or
+are somehow 'programmed' by the adult members of society. In both the
+'Hole in the Wall' experiment and the 'One Laptop per Child' program
+the children could simply be learning from adults and older children, but
+there is a novel way to eliminate this influence. Negroponte and Mitra
+have teamed up to run an experiment to see how children learn for
+themselves. They are planning to air-drop laptops into remote villages
+in the Andes. In this scenario, the children can't possibly learn from the

+experiment has only just started; I will put details on my website as the

+Learning by experience
+takes

+Ericsson, Professor of Psychology
+at Florida State University, studied

+found they had accumulated a
+huge number of practice hours
+by the time they became experts.
+His research was popularized by
+Malcolm Gladwell, in the book
+Outliers, and by Daniel Coyle
+in The Talent Code. The idea is
+that humans need around ten
+thousand hours of practice to
+become proficient at a skill. The

+practice. A number of people
+have wondered whether
+you
+can take this literally, and if you
+devote 10,000 hours to practicing
+something you can
+become
+world class. Dan McLaughlin
+from the USA used to be a
+professional photographer and
+decided he might like to become
+a professional golfer. He quit his
+job and is now 3,500 hours in. So
+far, he has achieved a 4 handicap.
+I also personally got bitten by this
+bug and am learning the piano. I
+am about 3,000 hours in and am
+making good progress.
+Gladwell's interpretation of
+Ericsson's results is not without
+controversy. Ericsson
+stresses
+'purposeful practice is the
+important element. Practicing
+Piano Practice
+the wrong thing for ten thousand
+hours will just make you good at doing something wrong. Practicing
+without concentration and attention will equally have little effect. One
+illustrative example is the story of Edward Sanford, a supreme court
+judge, who read the morning prayer aloud every day over a 25 year
+period. After he retired he was asked if he could recite it from memory.
+Despite reading it as many as 5000 times during his working life, he was
+unable to remember it. It seems you must purposefully practice the exact
+thing you want to do if you wish to learn it, in this case recall.
+Computers don't require practice to learn a skill. If their program
+is right they work correctly, and if it is wrong, they are always wrong.
+Computers can be programmed to learn but so far this learning has been
+limited to specific problem domains, such as face recognition. They do
+not have the general-purpose capability humans enjoy.

+Look...
+I can choose to type any word I like.
+Giotto...
+Many philosophers tell me I am deluded. I was always going to type
+that word and I have no free will. Everything in my life is predetermined.
+I'm rather like a character in an enormous video game. The character
+might think it was free to act, and its actions would appear random.
+Yet from the moment the player clicked the button to start the game,
+every action the character takes is determined by a preprogrammed set
+of rules. This is the free will debate. How can we tell we are free? Would
+there be any observable effect?
+One of the big problems is that philosophers codified much of our
+modern theory of free will in the 19th century, at a time when all the
+known physical laws were deterministic and reversible. They could not
+see a way for free will to emerge from such physical laws. There was even
+a group called the Compatibilists lead by David Hume that thought free
+will could coexist with determinism. Provided you felt free it did not
+matter that your actions were inevitable.
+We all want free will to mean actual freedom to make conscious
+choices. We would like to affect the world in which we live; not the other
+way around. I dislike making definitions - I find they take away from the
+core argument and only result in linguistic jousting, but it seems that two
+centuries of philosophers have avoided a proper discussion of free will by
+loosely defining the term. Here is my definition:

+Thinking with Clockwork
+Astronomers have been predicting the motions of the heavens for
+centuries and to do this they need accurate clocks. The very first clocks
+were sundials. These suffered the obvious disadvantage of not working
+at night, but it was also unsatisfactory to use the motion of the sun to
+predict the motion of the sun. The earliest 'heaven independent' clocks
+used water flowing through small holes in pottery vessels. They were
+effective over short intervals but plagued by dust, dirt and evaporation.
+It was the invention of the anchor escapement that enabled the first
+accurate mechanical clocks.
+By the sixteenth century clockmakers had gone to town developing
+astrological clocks with more and more gears, to show all manner of
+information; the phases of the moon, the motions of planets, even the
+motion of moons orbiting those planets. These clocks became hugely
+ornate. The astrological clock at Hampton Court Palace was built for
+Henry VIII circa 1542 and, as well as showing phases of the moon
+and the signs of the zodiac, it accurately calculated the time of high
+tide at London Bridge, allowing Henry to travel quickly to the Tower
+of London. You might also notice it shows the sun orbiting the earth!
+Copernicus published his book, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On
+the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres) showing the earth orbited the sun
+a year later in 1543, and it took centuries before it became accepted fact.
+Clocks need gears. The humble gear is a simple machine. They
+work because wheels of different size have different circumferences - the
+distance around the edge - but one full turn is the same for all wheels.

+British readers - and you roll it once around the wheel of your car. The
+small sweet will turn many times. Now put a pencil through the hole
+in the sweet, jack up your car so the wheel is off the ground, hold the
+sweet next to the wheel of your car and press the accelerator. The sweet
+will spin round very fast and probably disintegrate in a shower of minty
+sugar. This is the principle of gearing. A small circle has to do a lot of
+work to keep up with a big circle. It's very predictable. The sweet will turn
+a set number of times for each rotation of the car wheel, equal to the ratio
+of the circumferences of the two circles.
+Gears usually have teeth to lock the wheels together, but this is really
+just to make sure they can't slip against one another when they transfer
+huge forces, such as in racing cars. Some passenger cars have been built
+with smooth gears; a friend of mine had one at university. If he put his
+foot down too hard, the gears would slip, heat up and you would get a
+terrific smell of burning rubber. If you were lucky you could leave the car
+for a few hours and all would be well. But, if not, you had to replace the
+rubber belt, which was very expensive. Toothed gears generally win out.
+Toothed gears also have the enormous benefit of being digital. This
+is quite important if you want to keep things accurate. Gears can't move
+a fraction of a tooth so if a toothed gear has slipped' forward a small
+amount, it will be kicked back into position when it meshes with another
+gear.
+In a modern mechanical clock, a balance wheel swings back and
+forth on a spring and moves the main gear one notch forward each time
+it passes its central position. Gears divide this down to move the hour and
+minute hands. If I put the hands of a clock at midday and let the clock
+tick 86,400 times, the clock hands will come back to the same place. Once
+you understand how a clock works you can play a trick. If you tell me the
+number of ticks the clock has tocked, I can tell you the exact position the
+hands will be in. To a small child this might be dressed up as a magicians
+trick - but, of course, it is simply a matter of dividing the number of ticks
+by 60 and then 60 again to calculate the amount of time elapsed. This
+type of precisely predictable behavior is called deterministic behavior.
+Something is deterministic if you can set it up in a particular way and
+know the exact state later or, conversely, examine something and trace it
+back into the past.
+Modern computers scale up clockwork and make it much more
+efficient; gears are translated into electronic logic gates and a quartz
+crystal vibrates at 1000 million ticks per second to give us the clock tick.
+On each tick, the computer can do a mathematical operation, store and
+retrieve information, or branch down an avenue in its program. Using

+these simple building blocks the computer allows us to play computer
+games or process the words of this book as I write. Importantly, all these
+operations are deterministic; given a set of inputs the computer will
+always generate the same outputs and that means a computer has no free
+will.
+"Ah," I hear you say, "but my computer plays games with me and is
+not predictable, otherwise I would always beat it." You are right, but the
+computer has a clever trick to fake non-deterministic behavior: it uses
+you!
+Computers on their own cannot generate random numbers. All
+a computer can do is generate a pseudo-random number and it does
+this by working its way through a very long calculation. It could, for
+example, calculate the first thousand digits of i (pi), and then start using
+the subsequent digits as random numbers. The digits look jumbled up
+but we know they follow an entirely predictable pattern. The computer
+appears to behave randomly because when I press the button to kill
+an alien the computer picks the number it had counted up to at that
+moment, say the 55,678th digit of it, and uses that. It is I, the human, who
+unconsciously picks the precise moment in time and therefore provides
+the random element. My choice is governed by all sorts of extraneous
+quantum influences: Did I have coffee this morning? Was it a big mug
+or a small cup? How hot was it? All these things will be important as
+they determine the amount of caffeine absorbed across the brain blood
+barrier and the exact timing of my actions.
+Humans are not good at consciously generating random numbers.
+We tend to choose the same numbers too often. If I ask you to pick a
+number between one and ten, you are likely to choose three or seven.
+This effect is called social stereotyping; magicians often use it when they
+pretend to read your mind. The problem arises because we tend to over
+think the problem. I asked you to pick a random number between one
+and ten. You won't pick one or ten. Five is too obviously the mid-point.
+Even numbers don't feel random. Nine is too large. That just leaves three
+and seven. So the mind reading magician has you! Humans can unlearn
+this social programming and become quite good random number
+generators but normally we tend to conform.
+There is a way two humans can generate a truly random number
+without training. Find a friend for this experiment. One of you should
+pick any number between one and ten and start counting under your
+breath, when you get to ten just go back to one and keep repeating. The
+other should wait a while and then shout stop. The number reached should
+be genuinely random. Please post the results on my website and I'll tell

+you if this crowd-sourced random
+number generator really works.
+There should be no way to predict
+the resulting number as both
+of you are affected by quantum
+randomness and, provided you
+wait a little before shouting stop,
+any social stereotyping should
+be overcome. If you want to be
+scientific, remember the random
+number you started with and the
+length of time before your friend
+shouted stop. There should be an
+improvement in randomness with
+the amount of time they wait.
+In the absence of human
+interaction another way to give
+a computer access to a random
+number is from a quantum
+device. A lava lamp works well!
+The Lavarand, developed by
+Silicon Graphics, is a hardware
+random number generator which
+uses images of a lava lamp to seed
+a random number generator. It is
+covered by U.S. Patent 5,732,138,
+Lava Lamp
+titled "Method for seeding a pseudo-random number generator with a
+cryptographic hash of a digitization of a chaotic system." Got that!
+A computer does not acquire free will just through the injection of
+randomness. You could simply put an intercept on the link from the lava
+lamp to the computer and completely predict the computer's behavior.
+The system as a whole will certainly do unpredictable things, but the
+computer did not make a choice; behaving randomly is not exercising
+free will. Where is the will?

+nothing; no wind chill, nothing. The air was so hot the wind carried no
+heat from my hand. When I imagine hot weather it always brings back
+this memory. It's my conscious experience of the world.
+Humans experience the world through a vivid lens we call
+consciousness. It allows us to think about the world as we watch it and
+plan actions. But, it also summons associated memories, something
+scientists call qualia. Most writers describe consciousness as an internal
+dialogue with themselves and see it as a consequence of human language.
+That's probably because most writers are linguists. Non-linguists, perhaps
+even dyslexic engineers like me, experience consciousness as more of a
+visual dialogue.
+It's hard to pin down consciousness as the difference between
+humans and computers. Computers do have something that resembles
+consciousness; they have watchdog functions, they plan and anticipate
+actions and are aware of their own existence. But they don't understand
+or make free choices based on this consciousness. It is an entirely
+mechanistic affair. A computer might know its CPU is overheating and
+send a notification message to the administrator, but it does not really
+appreciate what this means. It does not have our sensation of a near death
+experience. This self-awareness is the 'hard question' of consciousness.
+Why, despite the computer knowing it is overheating, does this not
+translate into the intense experience we have? Philosophers, such as
+Daniel Dennett, think this lack of consciousness is only a matter of time;
+once computers live long enough and have sufficient internal complexity
+they will begin to experience the world the way we do. We are nothing
+special.
+The problem with consciousness is it does not seem to have any
+externally discernible effect. Anesthetics can take it away and brain
+scanners can see that it has been switched off, but what is it for? I think it
+comes hand in hand with our faculty of creativity. Consciousness allows
+us to shape the world - not the other way round.

+Creative Theories
+•
+nce I have exercised my free will by getting out of bed in the
+morning, I often decide to do something creative. Humans seem
+driven to create. We compose music, draw, paint, and solve
+mathematical puzzles. Computers are not naturally creative; they spend
+most of their time doing exactly the opposite - following preset rules. Is
+this a fundamental limitation distinguishing the computational world
+from the real world?
+The Conventional View
+Most scientists believe pattern-matching algorithms in the brain allow
+us to be creative. To see how this might work, imagine our brains are
+chaotic - not hard to do - and process many competing ideas at the same
+time. The neurons in our brains build millions of useful, and useless,
+connections based on the patterns in the data we see and hear. Then a
+selection process goes to work - something akin to natural selection - to
+sift and prune the connections until something bubbles to the surface
+and we get that, 'aha' feeling.
+Douglas Hofstadter, Professor of Cognitive Science at Indiana
+University, famous for the book Gödel Escher Bach, has written a computer
+program using pattern matching to discover number theorems; things
+like any number ending in a zero is divisible by 5. The program produces
+interesting results, even perhaps generating some new theorems. He
+argues the human brain is essentially a scaled up version of his program.
+By the way, if you like trivia, his book Fluid Concepts & Creative Analogies
+was the first book ever sold on Amazon.com.

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?
+The Unconventional View
+Roger Penrose, Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University, holds a
+completely different view. He thinks brains operate in a non-algorithmic
+manner and provides a sketch of the possible mechanism in two books -
+The Emperor's New Mind and Shadows of the Mind. He suggests tubulin
+molecules, which form the skeleton of our neurons, exploit quantum-
+gravitational effects to calculate non-computable functions. The
+scientific community was initially highly skeptical that quantum effects
+could survive the warm, wet environment of biological systems, but in
+January of 2014, Edward O'Reilly and others at UCL discovered plants
+use quantum effects to improve the efficiency of photosynthesis. No
+prize has yet been awarded for this discovery but it must be a contender
+for a Nobel Prize at some point. Recently Travis Craddock, now of the
+Nova Institute in Florida, has submitted a paper showing a very similar
+geometry of proteins exists within tubulin microtubules in the brain. He
+believes this is evidence quantum effects may exist there as well.
+A simple quantum effect in the brain could merely reduce the
+resistance of the wiring in the brain to help conserve power and avoid
+overheating. We recognize this is a major problem in building small,
+powerful conventional computers. Roger Penrose suggests an altogether
+more radical idea. He proposes our brains are quantum gravity computers
+capable of calculating non-computable functions. We don't yet have a
+theory for quantum gravity so his idea is at the cutting edge of physics
+- read highly controversial. He raises a deep mathematical question. If
+the Universe is deterministic and effectively equivalent to a computation,
+how does 'creative' knowledge emerge within it? Lots of knowledge can
+be manufactured by simply mechanically rearranging data. That's what
+happens when I watch a DVD or play a computer game, but, at some
+point in the past, a director or a programmer had to put in the creative
+effort to make the movie or write the computer program. How did that
+happen? Was it baked into the fabric of the Universe at the moment of
+the Big Bang? Is what we take for a Universe really nothing more complex
+than putting a DVD in the slot and hitting play?
+One last piece of trivia links Hofstadter with Penrose: Roger
+Penrose and his father invented the Penrose Steps, inspiring the never-
+ending staircase in the Escher prints featured in Hofstadter's book. For
+movie buffs, the Penrose steps appear in the film Inception, starring
+Leonardo DiCaprio. The fact we get pleasure from these trivial links tells
+me something is going on in our brains that is not so mechanical.

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?

+i ran the mat we it ry son eaten the are
+Afghanistan. The main war lasted only eight weeks, but this did not
+end the conflict. A level of tribal violence and insurgent warfare rumbled
+on for years, killing around 30 people a week. Masters' job was to explain
+the dynamics of Afghanistan and provide politicians and military
+commanders a framework to understand what was going on.
+Think about your country for a moment. What maintains the fabric
+of society - police, family, the local charity club, church, newspapers, the
+broadcast media? All these institutions work to keep us civilized, but what
+happens if a country loses them? There are institutions in Afghanistan,
+good and bad: tribes, gangs, corrupt officials, families. Masters had spent
+a year investigating these interactions, and questioning the returning
+commanders. He and his team believed that understanding the dynamics
+of the conflict was the key to bringing peace to Afghanistan.
+If you live in an industrialized country, you rarely see society
+without its civilizing web in place. One interesting 'experiment' that
+shows what happens when it fails was the 1976 traffic police strike
+in Finland. Finland is a fantastically law abiding country where most
+people obey both the written and unwritten laws. During the strike, this
+behavior changed. Many people began parking illegally but refrained
+from blocking the roads. A few took advantage of the absence of police to
+drive incredibly fast - twice the national limit. These would be labeled as
+'defectors' in game theory. Without traffic police, a different automotive

+Understanding
+55
+morality emerged, a different structure to society. Of course all the other
+parts of society remained the same. People paid their taxes and went
+about their lives normally; only the traffic behavior was affected.
+Afghanistan has had most of its social structures removed over the
+last forty or so years. First the Soviets, and then the Taliban, took apart
+much of the fabric until finally the Allied Forces swept the Taliban out,
+leaving very little behind. There were no police or courts, and few laws
+- or at least none enforced by the rule of law. The Allied Forces have
+spent a decade rebuilding these structures. Before we examine Masters®
+presentation, let's look at the daily life of an Afghan farmer.
+If you are an Afghan farmer you have a dilemma. Your most reliable
+crop is opium. It grows well in the arid soil, does not require irrigation, and
+is resistant to most pests. For this crop there is a financial infrastructure
+to rival the Chicago Commodities Exchange. You get interest free loans
+secured against the crop, and you can forward sell your product on a
+futures market. Your investors can add value' by dealing with the major
+pest - the US military. They do this through the simple expedience of
+taking pot shots at them if they get too close to the crop. Since a field of
+opium is worth $30,000 and a militia wage for the year is $350, you can
+easily employ a few men to protect your investment. Of course, you are
+indebted to thugs and criminals, but they are at least reliable thugs and
+criminals.
+On the other hand, the traditional products of the Himalayas -
+walnuts, pomegranates and vines - need years to cultivate. There is no
+forward market and the timescales over which you must take risks are
+far greater. If you believe your American protectors will leave before the
+crops mature, you will be loath to plant and care for them. But, if you
+make the decision to take this risk, you have a strong incentive to foster
+stability and reap the rewards of your effort. There is a feedback effect:
+the balance of power between all the different parties is important to the
+decisions you make, and the decisions you make affect your desire to
+invest in future stability.
+Masters' team built a slide pack to demonstrate the complex
+interactions between the groups: farmers, security, stability, markets,
+military power, and emerging institutions. The COIN - COunter
+INsurgency - dynamics slide shows just how hard it is to communicate
+complex topics between human beings. The presentation is beautifully

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?
+If you invest
+a little time on the slide you will understand it
+and may even see it as a thing of beauty. But Masters' audience was
+obviously expecting something different and, presented with this level
+of complexity, went into shutdown. Perhaps they wanted a simpler
+presentation, a high-level summary, a few bullet points. Of course, there
+is no simple presentation on Afghanistan. The lesson is that context,
+timing and expectation are often as important to good communication
+as the elegance of the content, and that information is a complex thing
+If you want a lighthearted poke at Power Point here is Peter Norvig's
+PowerPoint version of the Gettysburg Address.
+Understanding
+Next time you are in a business meeting, count the number of times the
+word 'understand' is used. If you ask the people around you what it means
+you'll stump many of them. That's because understanding has two very
+different meanings. Most people don't separate these meanings but the
+distinction is important. Understanding means to decode information,
+to comprehend - but, more importantly, it also means to absorb and
+internalize information. That feeling you have when you 'get it?
+If I say, "I understand" I mean I have taken in the question you
+asked and decoded it into ideas so I can provide an answer. This can be
+quite a mechanical process and computers routinely understand natural
+language and answer questions - Apples digital assistant Siri being a
+case in point.
+When I say, "I understand a problem" or "understand a culture"
+I mean something far less tangible. Somehow the information I have
+gathered over my life is formed into a matrix within my brain that allows
+me to ponder and run scenarios. I can predict the effects of my actions
+before I do them, and often anticipate your responses. That's clearly
+a very useful evolutionary adaption, but is there more to it than that?
+Roger Penrose and David Deutsch think understanding allows us to
+transfer non-symbolic information from one brain to another. We don't
+run programs in our brains, nor do we store precise information such as
+lists and tables. We have, therefore, had to evolve a creative approach to
+communicating skills and understanding each other. One of the most
+closely studied areas in the field of communication is when it breaks
+down in the lead up to a disaster.

+Bad Understanding
+Can Kill
+n January 16, 2003, at 3:39pm, the Columbia space shuttle took
+off from Cape Canaveral. During the launch a small piece of
+foam insulation broke off the fuel tank and hit the shuttlecraft.
+The event was recorded on a few low-resolution video frames. They
+show a tiny white object hitting the shuttle and a plume of dusty material
+splattering outward. The shuttle made it safely into orbit and for two
+weeks engineers on the ground debated what to do. In the end, it was
+decided the risk was minimal and the shuttle could safely return to Earth.
+On reentry, the shuttle disintegrated, killing seven astronauts.
+NASA managers had decided the shuttle was undamaged based
+on a series of presentations by the engineers. One image in particular
+analyzed the potential
+damage to the shuttle's
+tiles from an impact.
+Read the slide, look
+at the key frames, and
+decide for yourself what
+action you would have
+taken.

+LOOK AT THE IMAGES, WHAT HAPPENED?
+The truth is you simply don't know. If you are puzzling over the
+strength of tiles, you have been misdirected. There is video footage of
+some sort of impact on a wing mostly covered in white tiles, and a slide
+describing the effect of a benign sounding 'foam' hitting those tiles. But
+what is the evidence for an impact on a tile? The shuttle is certainly not
+made entirely from tiles; I can see a window in the picture. You should
+instead be asking more questions, "What happened?" "What hit what?"
+and "How bad is that?"
+It was bad. The foam, a very tough material, had hit the leading edge
+of the wing, a weak point, punching a hole through it. The wing failed
+on reentry and tore the shuttle apart. Clearly, a full discussion of the
+possibilities did not occur amongst the shuttle team, or perhaps it only
+happened amongst the engineers in private. Once the analysis was tidied
+up and presented to 'management' it was a one-way communication of
+the conclusions, not a discussion of the underlying ambiguous thought
+process. The result: people passively listened to the information rather

+that it was safe to return. Clearly they did not understand the ambiguity
+otherwise they would have realized they did not have enough information
+to form a conclusion. This is the tragedy of lack of understanding. If they
+had known how little they knew, they could have deployed a spy satellite
+to take pictures of the damage - one was available nearby and would
+have taken a few hours to re-task - but they did not.
+Ed Tufte served on the second shuttle disaster commission and
+provided an analysis of the disaster. He views slides as a poor medium for
+communicating complex problems and thinks documents are far better.
+The danger with slides is they force you to simplify information in a way
+that destroys the essence of the information. His analysis of the failure of
+communication at NASA formed a major part of the final report on the
+disaster. Later he coined the paraphrase "All Power corrupts; PowerPoint
+corrupts absolutely." Good communication benefits from stories and
+narrative, not bullet points and graphic fluff. Instead of using bullet
+points, speak! After all, we have evolved for 250,000 years to understand
+language, but only 25 to read PowerPoints.'
+If you write presentations, Ed Tufte's book The Cognitive Style
+of PowerPoint is compulsory reading. He argues that much of the
+information you want to communicate is complex and interconnected.
+PowerPoint or any similar presentation software encourages you to
+simplify it into hierarchical bullets. The format implies simple causal
+relationships where none exists. This is dangerous. Communication
+should convey understanding - which is very important - and not just
+information. What, you ask, is the difference?

+The Imitation Game
+s an experiment, I am going to ask a student to spend a week in
+a locked room. the room is perfectly nice; it has a bed, a light, a
+•desk, some reading matter, oh, and we'll give him some washing
+facilities too! Every now and then I post some food under the door to
+keep him going, Pop-tarts and pizza (thin-crust) work well.
+On the first evening a note is pushed under his door with a symbol
+on it. The student puzzles for a while, then opens the book sitting on
+the desk. The book says, "If you get a piece of paper with symbols on it
+look them up and follow the instructions." He looks up the symbols and
+the entry in the book says, "Go to page 44, write down the third symbol
+on a piece of paper then post it back under the door." He follows the
+instruction and is rewarded with another piece of paper, this time with a
+larger set of symbols on it. Again he follows the instructions in the book
+and posts his answer back under the door. This goes on for several days.
+He is somewhat bemused, but it passes the time, and he diligently looks
+up the symbols and performs all the complicated actions as instructed.
+Meanwhile, I meet our new Chinese graduate student and explain
+to her she needs to interview a potential translator for the department.
+He has just come in from Hong Kong and there is a health scare, so we
+have quarantined him in the lab room. He is bored and I have some
+paper for writing messages. She writes "hello" in Chinese on a piece of
+paper and posts it under the door.

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?
+The exchange of notes goes on for a few days and the two seem to be
+getting on well. There is even a little romance in the air. When the week is
+over I open the door and the two meet. The graduate student says, "Hello.
+It's nice to finally meet you in person." The man is puzzled because, of
+course, she has spoken to him in Chinese. He knows no Chinese.
+"I'm terribly sorry, but I don't speak Chinese," he says.
+She is puzzled, "But I spoke with you this last week!"
+"No, I really don't speak it," he says.
+And, of course, he is telling the truth. The book he has been using
+contains the rules for answering questions in Chinese, but he has
+absolutely no knowledge of the language. I'll leave to your imagination
+whether the two strike up a real relationship and live happily ever after.
+This is the Story of the Chinese Room. The setup is able to fool
+someone into believing there is a Chinese speaking person in the room,
+yet there is not. Where does the understanding of Chinese lie? The man
+definitely does not understand Chinese. And the book clearly does not
+understand Chinese because it is an inanimate object. Yet the person
+outside the room is convinced she is communicating with a Chinese
+speaker. The analogy to a computer is clear. The book is software and
+the man blindly following instructions is the hardware. John Searle,
+who devised the thought experiment uses it to show computers can
+never understand because there is no place in a mechanistic system for
+understanding to exist.
+The Chinese Room has sparked huge argument in philosophical
+circles; let me boil it down to its simplest form. First, let's refute Searles
+position with the 'System Argument.
+The man plus the book form a system. Systems understand; their
+individual components do not. My blood does not understand. My brain
+without blood would not understand - it would be dead! Plug my brain
+into a good supply of blood; add a dash of glucose, and it will understand
+the most complex of things.
+The systems argument is elegant and most scientists think this is the
+definitive argument against Searle, but Searle has a neat way to counter
+it. "Imagine", he says, "that the man memorizes the book and leaves the
+room. Now there is no system, there is just the man, but the man still does
+not understand Chinese; he is just parroting rote-memorized words and
+rules." Computers, Searle argues, process syntax - the rules of language;
+humans understand semantics - the contextual meaning of language.
+Artificial Intelligence (AI) proponents hate the Searle argument.
+They believe the memorization of a set of words and rules is exactly what
+gives us knowledge of Chinese. That is why we go to school!

+Understanding
+67
+A key problem posed by Searle's Chinese Room is whether you can
+know everything about a situation from just looking at the inputs and
+outputs. This is very similar to the restriction posed by the Turing Test.
+In that case if we were to trace the wire from our computer terminal
+to the other room we would either find a human typing messages or a
+large box covered in flashing lights. This would definitively answer the
+question whether we were talking to a man or a machine. Similarly, if
+we opened the door to the Chinese Room we would immediately know
+whether there was a real Chinese speaker in there or not. But opening
+the door on both tests misses the point. The question asks, "if the inputs
+and outputs are the same does it matter what is really going on inside a
+closed system?"
+Black Boxes
+Experiments involving closed systems are known as Black Box
+experiments. They presume you can learn everything about the inner
+workings of a box simply by probing it from the outside. Young electronic
+engineers are often given black boxes as a test. Electronic components
+hidden in the box are connected to three external terminals on the
+outside. The student is asked to deduce what is in the box using only
+an electric meter to probe those terminals. Here are a few examples of
+the possible contents of a black box. They would all show up identically
+on the student's meter. Although internally different they are externally
+identical. Even my 'silly' fourth choice with a cat in the box does not give

+Understanding

+In my trivial example, the cat could eat a wire and change the operation
+of the black box. Now there is an open circuit where none existed before.
+If this happened, the output would change and we would need a new
+theory to explain it. If the circuit was attached to a missile control system
+or a life support system, you would really want a full understanding
+without waiting. It's humans nature to try to open black boxes. This is
+what MRI scans, X-rays, particle accelerators and all our other tools
+of scientific investigation are for. We want to open all the black boxes
+of nature and see what is going on inside: simply waiting to see what
+happens is not acceptable.
+In a sense, we live in a black box. We experience the world through
+our senses, seeing with our eyes and feeling with our hands. The brain
+never directly experiences anything; it only infers the likelihood of

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?
+something from the signals it receives. This is similar to our engineer
+probing the terminals of the circuit of a black box. How can we know our
+experience of the world is real?
+Understanding the World
+The French philosopher Descartes gave us an explanation for this
+paradox. He spent a long time looking skeptically at everything we
+perceive. For example, when we poke a stick into a pond, the surface of
+the water bends light and the stick appears to have a kink in it. Our eyes
+tell us the stick is bent, but our brain 'knows' the stick is straight: it's an
+illusion. Descartes wondered if something so simple could be an illusion,
+perhaps the whole of our experience is too.
+His eventual solution underpins much of modern philosophy - 'I
+think therefore I am', cogito ergo sum. Even if we doubt everything else,
+we cannot doubt we are thinking about this doubt. At least we can rely
+upon the existence of this 'thought' as some reality. Descartes built up
+from this bedrock the real world we live in. We can be sure we experience
+things and can apply logic and use thought. We can use this intellectual
+faculty to tell a great deal about our Universe.
+True Understanding
+In the QED lecture series, The Strange Thing about Light and Matter,
+Richard Feynman relates the story of the ancient Mayan astronomers.
+3000 years ago they were able to predict the motion of Venus in the sky
+using only pebbles. They had a simple system that could predict when
+the planet would rise over the horizon. Put a stone in the jar every day,
+take out a stone once a week, add a stone at every new moon. If the
+number of stones in the jar is divisible by 23, Venus will rise. I'm making
+up the details but you see the idea... It's a very simple algorithm. What
+should we conclude if the Mayans had perfected their calculations to
+predict the motion of Venus and it proved reliable over a whole century?
+Would this constitute understanding?
+Feynman would say no: the Mayan understanding was not
+complete. It was only black box equivalent to our modern understanding
+over a limited period. We known that once the Sun begins to run out
+of fuel it will swell to a red giant and explode, destroying Venus and
+the Earth. Their model could not predict this catastrophic failure. Our
+modern deeper understanding of the workings of the solar system allows

+Venus today. Understanding allows us to predict discontinuous events: a
+system changing its state or a star running out of fuel.
+We see the same predicament in stock markets. Stock markets
+normally behave in a linear fashion but, when they go wrong; they go
+very wrong. Recent recessions have been made much worse by the failure
+of hedging systems to handle market disruption. Some even think the
+crises were caused by the automatic trading strategies of these hedging
+systems.
+The quants - as mathematicians in banks are called - spend
+considerable effort modeling financial instruments to show that if one
+stock goes down, another will go up at the same time. If the stocks
+are held together your investment is safe because, on average they will
+remain constant. The problem with these correlations, which often hold
+reliably for many years, is that when trouble hits they fall apart. Historical
+correlations don't give us understanding of the future: something that
+was only meant to happen once in a million years has happened within
+six months. As they say on your investment papers, past performance is
+no predictor of future results.
+Do Computers Understand?
+Today's computers don't have our general-purpose ability to understand.
+Watson was thrown off by badly formatted English. The human
+contestants, by contrast, had no problem with this. Just how good would
+Watson have to be, to call it - or should I say 'him' - intelligent? How
+could I judge this had happened? Alan Turing proposed an ingenious
+test in his 1950 paper Computing Machinery and Intelligence using 'The
+Imitation Game? We now call the Turing Test.
+If we ask a series of questions to a computer and we cannot tell its
+responses from those a human would give, then the computer is, for all
+practical purposes, the same as a human. Since we are intelligent - or at
+least we hope we are - the computer must also be intelligent. QED.
+That's all there is to the Turing Test. Puzzled? Let's pick his argument
+apart.
+Imagine you are chatting away on Facebook with someone you
+don't know. They may have posted a photograph so you can see what they

+would be very hard for a human but easy for a computer. If you got a
+very quick answer; the computer would have given itself away. But, the
+computer has been programmed not to give itself away, and it is free to
+give the answer slowly or even reply that the calculation is too hard. Our
+computer can say anything it likes, including lying to pass the test! If the
+computer can fool a questioner into believing it is a human then Turing
+argued the computer has shown it is at least as intelligent as we are.
+It used to be assumed that the field of broad general knowledge
+would be hard for a computer, but Watson has shown this is not so. With
+enough storage and a reasonable algorithm, winning a pub quiz is well
+within the capability of a modern computer.
+The really difficult questions for a computer are philosophical ones,
+novel questions and things that don't fall into a pattern. For example,
+"Are you happy?"
+"What do you think of Shakespeare's Hamlet?"
+"Is there life after death?"
+"How went it?"
+"Think Differ..."
+If a computer could plausibly answer this sort of questioning for an
+extended period, say fifteen minutes, should we conclude it is intelligent,
+or do we need more time to be certain?
+Turing's approach to certainty was simple. Just ask lots of questions.
+As you ask more and more questions, you will become increasingly
+certain you are talking to an intelligent being. He characterized it
+as a linear process; after 15 minutes of questioning you might be
+99% certain and after a few hours 99.9% certain and after a few days
+completely certain. The problem with this approach is it does not flush
+out discontinuities. What if the questioning suddenly stopped without
+warning or explanation? A human responder is likely to worry that the
+questioner has had a heart attack and do something to find out what is
+going on including leaving the room. Humans can make creative leaps,
+solve non-computable puzzles or come up with a clever new joke. A
+humans could even announce the test is a waste of time and walk off.
+They just exercised free will! A computer cannot do these things.
+Each year a group of scientists enters a competition run by
+Cambridge University to win the Loebner prize, a competition to see
+how close a machine can come to passing the Turing Test. If you can beat
+the test you win $100,000. So far no one has come close and scientists are
+beginning to realize just how hard it is.

+The sister test in robotics is equally hard. The goal is to simulate the
+physical human form, its movements and mannerisms. It's easy to get
+close, but close is not good enough. The term 'Uncanny Valley' has been
+coined to describe the discomfort humans have with something that tries
+to simulate a human being but does not quite get there. I think it is part
+of the reason Madam Tussaud's waxworks are so fascinating. Humans
+have a love-hate relationship with facsimiles of themselves. They love
+the flattery but feel a sense of revulsion at anything that comes too close.
+Searle and Turing
+In the Turing Test, we limited our senses to the purely symbolic: using
+only typed words on a screen. I could break the lock on the door and go
+into the room to see what was there.
+"Aha!" I would say.
+"I can see you're a computer, I, therefore, know you'll be good at
+sums and bad at creativity."
+But Turing wants us to see if the difference is given away purely
+through intellect. He argues there is no way to tell. But if you follow my
+argument from chapter 1, there is one way: ask the computer to find a
+non-computable solution to a mathematical puzzle. This is, in practice,
+a difficult test to pose because it might take a very long time. Twenty-
+five billion people have lived on planet Earth during the last 350 years,
+and about 5 million of them were mathematicians. None of them was
+able to solve the problem posed by Pierre de Fermat until Andrew Wiles
+turned up but this is a clear difference between humans and computers.
+However long you give a computer it would never be able to solve the
+problem.
+This creativity test would take centuries to run if non-computable
+thought was rare, but I think we see it often - on display even when we
+tell jokes. In which case computers and humans should be easy to tell
+apart: humans are the funny ones. I am not saying you can't build a brain;
+our brains are physical devices, after all. I just believe a computer or a
+mechanistic machine, cannot think like a human being.
+I like the Searle argument but qualitative arguments are insufficient.
+We need a quantitative argument. In the forthcoming chapters, I am
+going to look at the mathematical argument underlying the difference
+between human intelligence and computer processing. Before we do this
+let's take one last look at a qualitative difference; the way computers and
+humans communicate.

+n the summer of 1986 Ronald Reagan and Mikael Gorbachev met
+Höfõi House in Reykjavik. For five days, the leaders talked alone
+except for interpreters. Reagan badly wanted to develop the Strategic
+Defense Initiative; known by its nickname, 'Star Wars' The idea was to
+put smart weaponry in space that could destroy ballistic missiles before
+they reentered the atmosphere. Reagan believed this would remove the
+threat of imminent destruction that had hung over the world since 1945.
+Gorbachev, on the other hand, felt this was just another escalation in
+the Cold War, and the Soviet Union would be forced to build yet more
+weapons to overcome the American defenses. He wanted Reagan's plans
+shelved, arguing that it broke the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. He was
+probably right. The leaders talked back and forth, unable to overcome
+the impasse. At the end of the summit there was a mad scramble to
+announce some sort of deal, but this proved difficult. In the last moments
+before they had to conclude a communiqué, Reagan suggested they
+abolish all nuclear weapons. Reagan's negotiating team was horrified and
+shut the door.
+For decades, the American strategy had been to use nuclear
+weapons as a deterrent against the apparent numerical advantage of the
+Soviets. In all the potential scenarios analyzed by the Pentagon, Russian
+forces ended up overrunning American forward positions - otherwise
+known as Western Europe! The only way to stop them was through a
+release of nuclear weapons, which, inevitably escalated to all-out nuclear

+in the first place, and the threat of mutually assured destruction kept the
+world peaceful. Giving up this tenet of defense strategy was something
+the American military just could not contemplate. Many people did not
+think it a rational defense strategy; it seemed appropriate the acronym
+for mutually assured destruction is MAD, but this was the status quo.
+We now know our worry over Russian superiority was groundless.
+The West's technological advantage, founded on the invention of

+advantage. In the only battle to be fought in the 20* century between

+Reagan was a man of vision, quite comfortable with using his folksy way
+to convey sincere belief, and I think abolishing all nuclear weapons was

+the fundamental thawing of relations between East and West, was to lead
+to the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty and the end of the Cold
+War.
+Face-to-Face Communication
+What really happened between these two leaders when they met and
+talked? Was it a mechanical process of offer and counter-offer, as easily
+executed by fax, or is human interaction more complex than this?
+Reagan, as a young man, had been a liberal, sympathetic to socialist
+ideals until a painful strike in California caused him to lose faith in the
+politics of the left. Gorbachev, a lifelong Communist, was desperate to
+reform the Soviet economy and make it more competitive. He, also, had
+come to see the hypocrisies that could emerge in far left-wing ideology.
+I don't believe this common experience could have been communicated
+by fax or email. Indeed, I am sure these specific points were never made,
+but the nonverbal communication must have conveyed something of
+their common background and purpose.
+When we phone someone or exchange emails, the interaction is
+factual, there is no body language, and we rarely laugh. When we travel
+to meet someone, we spend a great deal of time with them. The average
+length of a phone call is two and a half minutes, but meetings, especially
+when one party has travelled to see the other, can be hours long. When
+humans meet they greet each other, shake hands, sit in the same room,
+talk at length, and laugh. Body language is important; people mirror
+each other's postures, adopt open and receptive stances, and make
+eye contact. You can see this in the picture of Reagan and Gorbachev
+above. Body language allows us to convey qualitatively different things,
+such as trust and happiness. It is very expressive; you can see the more
+guarded postures of Yasser Arafat and Shimon Pérez below, just after
+they negotiated a landmark peace deal. Can you tell if the leaders smiles
+are false?
+Communication
+Communication is one of mankind's greatest expenditures. The US
+telephone system is arguably the largest machine on the planet, while
+the world's mobile phone networks have a capital value of $2.5 trillion,
+greater by an order of magnitude than all the steel plants in the world put

+together. This lifeblood of our existence - long-distance communication
+between human beings - turns out to be amazingly difficult, even with
+all our clever technology.
+In recent years the Internet has, in theory, allowed each and every
+person to communicate freely with any other person on the planet.
+In some of the most distant parts of the world mobile phones, and
+projects such as; 'One Laptop per Child' are rapidly bringing unlimited
+communication to all. This communication can be personal, one-to-one,
+or broadcast: I can talk to people interested in a particular topic directly.
+As we watch the Arab world democratize, catalyzed by the Internet, there
+is no question that digital communication has now become a major force
+in the world. Yet, people don't communicate over the Internet as much
+as you would expect; they often use the Internet to set up phone calls
+during which they arrange meetings! This is odd. We have a fantastic
+phone system and sophisticated communication technologies; email,
+video and instant messaging. Yet, we still choose to travel when we want
+to communicate.
+On the face of it, there should be no difference between a phone
+call and a meeting. In principle the same information can be conveyed.
+Yet when we want to really understand someone, we always go to meet

+The consequence is that we spend $550 billion annually, flying
+around the globe to meet each other. Each day the world's population
+takes three million plane flights. Around 80% of these are business
+flights. Some are people emigrating or going to do specific manual tasks,

+Smiles
+When we smile naturally we use a full set of facial muscles, including the
+muscles around our eyes. When the smile is forced those eye muscles
+remain passive and the smile, although superficially the same, is missing
+something. You can't put your finger on it, but the look is insincere. A
+study of marriages in the USA analyzed smiles in wedding photographs.
+The couples with false smiles divorced much earlier than the genuinely
+happy couples. Similarly for high school photos; people with genuine
+smiles at 18 years of age were happier later in life and in more stable
+relationships. Smiling is really important. It is good to be around people
+who smile, they are more successful - and nicer.
+There is also a curious reverse effect. The link between our minds
+and bodies is much more fundamental than we thought. If you grasp a
+pencil between your teeth, it forces you to smile. Try it. The mere act
+of smiling is found to make you happier, it causes the release of the
+chemicals called endorphins which improve your feeling of well-being.
+Micro-expression Analysis
+Since the involuntary movements of the muscles around our eyes give
+away genuine happiness, a whole science has evolved looking for other
+biological cues to mood. The two most interested groups are the FBI,
+trying to detect lies, and poker players, trying to make money! Much has
+been written on the topic, including a few best sellers, but the evidence
+for micro expressions is mixed. Regardless of whether involuntary
+actions give away our emotions, humans voluntarily use a great deal of
+body language when talking.
+Body Language
+A study by Albert Mehrabian is often cited to say 93% of the information
+in a conversation comes through nonverbal cues. This is misquoted.
+The study really stated 93% of the emotional content is nonverbal.
+That's more believable. And further studies have shown when there is
+doubt, nonverbal cues win over verbal information every time. The rule
+is sometimes laid out as the 7%-38%-55% rule - 7% words, 38% tone
+of voice and 55% body language. Remember this is emotional content,
+your conviction and sincerity. You will still have to get over the factual
+information you want to convey.

+Interestingly, a piece of research described in Scientific American

+and enjoy their learning Swedish sketch. Bella asks Alex what kind of
+sandwich he wants for lunch. Alex replies 'M. Bella laughs. If you have

+Do I think in English?
+Most scientists believe we think thoughts using language, but most
+scientists writing about thought are linguists or psychologists. If you are
+a dyslexic engineer like me, language is a long way down the processing
+chain. I think abstractly and then translate those thoughts into words.
+Some ideas don't map between languages and often, one language adopts
+the words of another to fill in the gaps. Some interesting examples are:
+Zeitgeist
+Schadenfreude
+Chutzpah
+German, spirit of the times
+German, enjoying others misfortune
+Hebrew, audacity
+All of these are fully signed up, card carrying entries in the Oxford
+English Dictionary.
+Some languages have fewer distinctions between ideas: truth and
+law are the same word, 'torah, in Hebrew. Languages have different
+tenses and structure. In Chinese all words are one syllable and the script
+is pictographic rather than phonetic. This is unusual, even Egyptian
+and linear-B, which look pictographic are mostly phonetic. With single
+syllable words, Chinese uses voice inflection to change meaning; a rising
+or falling tone can change the meaning of a word from 'grey' to 'girl'.
+In many Western languages rising voice inflection is used to indicate a
+question, as in Australian English or irritation, as in English English. So
+how do the Chinese show if they are annoyed or want to ask a question?
+They elongate their words and accentuate the changes in intonation.
+An argument in Chinese can sound quite alarming to the Western ear,
+with its percussive monosyllables and extreme inflection changes. This

+Symbolic Communication
+The earliest recorded permanent human communication is cave
+painting, dating to 33,000BCE. Written communication emerged in
+Sumer, the southern part of Mesopotamia (now Iraq), using a script
+called Cuneiform, written on clay tablets. It was used primarily for
+accounting. The Sumerians are responsible for our common use of base
+twelve. Twelve hours in a day, inches in a foot, and notes in the scale; all
+stem from their civilization.
+Although not the first to write stories, the Greeks perfected the
+dramatic forms we use today: poetry, prose and plays. Watch an episode
+of 'Law and Order' and you are seeing a direct descendant of a Greek
+tragedy, complete with suffering and justice denied. All this permanent
+thought art is made possible by the translation of ideas into symbols.
+Scripts and Symbols
+The world supports a huge variety of scripts split roughly into phonetic,
+representing the component sound of words, and pictographic, stylized
+pictures of the ideas.

+Some scripts have interesting quirks. Ancient Hebrew, although

+simplified Chinese. Take a look and normally you will find them to be
+quite different. Each example in the figure is my best attempt to translate
+the phrase "Hello Reader" into a script and the corresponding language.
+Symbols of the World
+English is one of the most irritating script languages of all. It commonly
+uses etymological elements, showing the history or origin of the word
+that has nothing to do with the sound of the word. A word like school
+has the 'K' sound spelt 'ch, showing its historical derivation from the
+Greek, but confusing for pronunciation. English has 53 sounds derived
+from only 26 letters, so there are plenty of letter combinations, many of
+which are irregular. Because the language favors historical convention
+over simplicity, sugar is pronounced "shu-gar" whereas sand is strictly
+phonetic. As for Leicestershire I'll leave that as a test for the American
+readers amongst you. If you're British, try Mattapoisett, a town in
+Massachusetts named in Native American.
+Yet English is also a 'lovely' language. Because of its richness there
+are often twenty different ways to say something, and a dozen words
+to choose on any topic. One of my own favorite words is 'jump. It is
+phonetic, but also onomatopoeic and even pictographic. Jump both
+sounds like a jump and looks like a jump.
+Two scripts that puzzled scholars for many years are Linear-b and
+Hieroglyphics. Linear-b - found on clay tablets on the Island of Crete -
+turned out to be a coded form of ancient Greek with some slight quirks,
+such as dropping the letter's' from the ends of words. The's' is superfluous
+in most Greek words, and dropping it saved precious clay space!
+Hieroglyphics was a real puzzle. It looks so like a pictographic
+language that it fooled many people for centuries. The Rosetta Stone was
+discovered in 1799 and became the key to their deciphering. This stone
+had the same edict written out in 3 languages - Greek, Egyptian and
+Demotic. The French adventurer Jean-François Champollion decoded
+hieroglyphics in 1822 and although it looks pictographic, it was found to
+be predominantly phonetic. Linear-a, another script found on the Island
+of Crete has yet to be decoded and remains one of the world's great-
+unsolved mysteries.
+All these different ways to code ideas into symbols present the
+children of the world a great learning challenge. Because written language
+is so young, in evolutionary terms, our brains have not had enough time
+to evolve to master it. Instead words co-opt parts of our brains originally

+evolved for different purposes. As languages differ in their construction
+they co-opt different bits of the brain. It is possible to see this using brain
+imaging.
+Dyslexics - and I am one - have difficulty in translating between
+the realm of conceptual thought and written script. This translation is
+subtly different for each language. Chinese speakers use their motor
+cortex to process characters. Young children write out the characters
+over and over, to memorize them, so the 'muscle' memory is highly
+involved. French and Spanish children use the audio pathways, as most
+of their language is phonetic, the motor part of writing is then an add-
+on and does not process meaning. English children must use portions
+of their visual cortex to process the meaning of words, as many words
+have spelling quirks that have nothing to do with the sound of the words.
+Some studies even suggest a child dyslexic in one language, because, for
+example, their audio pathway is impaired, might not suffer the condition
+in another language that relied on a visual or motor skill.
+Can Objects Communicate?
+The process of communication has many components, starting with
+something capable of communicating. Communication usually -
+perhaps always - is something that occurs between sentient beings. I
+don't think of my computer as communicating with me, but rather think
+of it as a medium for communication or a dumb machine. But colloquial
+language around the subject is a little muddled. We all agree a lighthouse
+does not communicate, even though it can signal danger, but what do
+we mean when we say, "That song really spoke to me." No one believes
+the song is actually communicating, but some kind of communication
+was made nonetheless. When we talk of communication do we mean the
+agent or the message?
+Stories
+Humans enjoy communicating; we create works of art, music and
+literature that transcend simple analysis. The COIN dynamic slide,
+which we saw earlier detailing the strategic situation in Afghanistan,
+would probably have been better communicated with a story. Humans,
+unlike computers, do not cope well with large quantities of unrelated

+simple trick the human brain uses is chunking. Give yourself a moment
+to try to learn this string of characters.

+TRY TO MEMORIZE THE STRING WITHOUT READING ON
+Now, if I divide it into chunks, you will see it includes meaningful

+You probably won't recognize all the acronyms unless you are

+HAL uses TNT to blow up the IBM building in Grand Theft Auto.
+"Three Letter Acronyms are annoying," says MAT. I'm Laughing Out

+We find it easier to fit new information into existing structures
+within our brains rather than memorizing by rote. I've used quite a
+bit of modern Internet slang here. You'll find young people recall this
+information better than older people for whom GTG and POMS are
+nonsense.
+If you want to memorize something, experts recommend you
+imagine bizarre images and relate them to a story pictured in the mind's
+eye. Try it and you may very well find you can still remember my sentence
+in ten years time!
+Let's try something else. The following sentences are a little different,
+yet the recall scores for information in the two are dramatically different:
+1. I met an old tramp on 42d Street wearing a dirty grey rain coat.
+2. New York on a cold damp November day; as I cross the street
+I bump into an old man wearing a dirty grey Macintosh. His
+shuffling gait suggests some sordid intent. I think nothing of it,
+but this brief meeting was to change my life.

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?
+The addition of contextual cues allows you to form a mental picture.
+By withholding some information at the end I have used a dramatic trick
+to cause your brain to free wheel and imagine what happens next. You
+are involved in the story. Notice the longer story, with more data in it, is
+paradoxically more comprehensible and memorable.
+Ed Tufte makes the point about our ability to process information
+very forcefully. He believes presentation experts are wrong when they
+recommend you keep your slides to a few words! He points out the
+common advice to use only six bullets per slide and six words per bullet
+comes from a misconception that has blighted a generation of presenters.
+Studies performed on memory in the 1960s measured unrelated word
+recall. Six words are all you can remember if the words are meaningless.
+But if the words have meaning we can comprehend and absorb many
+pages of data. Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world read
+a newspaper every morning and can recall the stories throughout the
+day; the poems, songs and plays we memorize when young are usually
+long, comprising thousands of words, yet we are able to remember them
+verbatim for the rest of our lives.
+When we tell a story, we are trying to draw the reader in so they
+can to experience our imaginary world and be 'in' the story. When I read
+a story - perhaps Harry Potter - I don't think about the grammar and
+punctuation, or even the accuracy of character portrayal. I'm transported
+to a different place. I experience a piece of the reality or 'imaginality
+the storyteller has created. I can describe the characters, the scene, the
+sounds and the smells. A good author forms a complete world in our
+heads corresponding with the world they have in their heads. With more
+abstract information, comprehension and retention is harder. Often if
+the information does not hang together in a linear narrative it can be
+impossible to take in at a single sitting. However, if it forms a story and
+is well told so you get it, you do not need it repeated. We experience
+something of this effect when we watch a good movie. "I've already seen
+that one," means you have absorbed the whole story in a single sitting.
+You don't need to watch it over again to comprehend it.
+Comedy
+Finally, when you mix all the elements up, emotional understanding,
+body language, in-person communication and empathy; you get comedy.
+Humans 'do comedy from a very young age and it's vitally important to
+the fabric of our lives. What purpose comedy serves in communication

+humans are naturally hierarchical - not unlike packs of dogs or beached
+walruses. Humor allows us to test the response of others to statements,
+which might otherwise be taken the wrong way. Something said in a
+'jokey' tone of voice may not generate a negative response, even though
+the raw content might be quite provocative. "Ah, late again I see.."
+It is worth taking a look at some great comedy sketches because
+they bring home the richness of human interaction. Here are some of my
+favorite links as an antidote to the heavy-duty mathematics I am about
+to inflict on you.
+The World's Funniest Joke
+Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He
+doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy
+whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "My
+friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says, "Calm down. I
+can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a
+gunshot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says, "OK, now what?"
+Spike Milligan, from The Goon Show
+I think comedy is a fitness display. It demonstrates to those around
+us - particularly of the opposite sex - that we can be creative and use
+non- computable thought processes, just as dancing is a fitness display of
+our agility and coordination. When we tell a joke we are showing others
+we can 'think outside the box, a valuable survival skill.
+At a simple level it has been proven that animals with the ability to
+behave randomly escape being eaten more often than animals that follow
+a pattern. Non-computability is the ultimate behavioral randomizer
+since it is not an algorithm and cannot be copied. The ability to take
+non-computable thinking to its logical conclusion to create and invent
+has clearly taken off for humans.
+Of course, another explanation might be that making people happy
+is fun. People like to be around other fun people so humor encourages
+crowds to form. If a saber-toothed tiger attacks you, and you are in a
+crowd, you're more likely to survive. You only have to outrun one
+member of the crowd!

+of the brain. Whether this is related to his highly creative thinking or just
+random chance is unknown, but it's an interesting data point in our quest
+to understand creativity and intelligence.
+Looking through a microscope, the wrinkly grey matter is composed
+of 30 trillion neurons; small whitish cells sprouting filaments that wrap
+around each other like the tentacles of an octopus. The tentacles, and
+there can be as many as 10,000 per cell, are known as dendrites and spread
+out to nearly touch other neurons. At the other end of the neuron is a
+single axon. The gaps between the end of an axon and the next neuron's
+dendrites are called synapses, about one-tenth of the width of a human
+hair and varied in structure. When a nerve 'fires, an electrical pulse
+spreads out along the axon to the end and crosses the synapses to other
+brain cells. This electrical pulse is not like the flow of current in a wire:
+neurons don't conduct electricity. It is more akin to dominoes falling in
+a line. Ion gates in the walls of the neuron open, letting potassium ions
+flow out. As the gates open in one section, the next section is triggered
+and so on. Thus, electrical signals ripple out along the axon. As the
+electrical signals cross the synapses they either excite or inhibit the firing
+of adjacent neurons. There is a lot more structure to a neuron than was
+once thought. The textbook model is of a sequence of ion sacks stacked
+end to end rather like plant cells, but neurons have a far more complex
+structure. Bundles of actin and tubulin form a skeleton in the neuron and
+the neuron metabolizes ATP to recharge its firing mechanism. Neurons
+behave far more like small animals than inanimate plant cells.

+The Brain
+99
+The wiring of our brain looks a bit like the logic circuits of a
+computer, and our best guess is the cells in our brain form some kind of
+computer. The brain cells - a specialized form of nerve cell - connect to
+the rest of the body via the nerve cells that largely run down our spine.
+Thoughts trigger action and, in reverse, the nerves in our extremities
+sense things in the environment and relay information back to the
+brain. If I think, 'move my finger' my finger will move, and if it touches
+something I will feel the sensation. Interestingly if my finger touches
+something hot a reflex will kick in. Reflexes work without involving the
+brain. We don't have to think, "that hurts." Instead, our finger reflexively
+pulls away. We may say ouch, but by the time we do, our fingers already
+moved away from the heat.
+Nerve cells are much slower than the electronic systems we build
+with copper and silicon. This speed is quite noticeable and limits the
+rate we can do certain things. It takes around 0.08 seconds for a nerve
+impulse to run down to the tips of our fingers, initiate an action and
+return to give us the sensation of the action. This may sound fast but if
+you're a tennis player in a rally or a pianist faced with a fast passage, the
+nerves don't have time to make a full round trip signal before the next
+action must be initiated. In these instances we need to run on autopilot
+and there are parts of the body where the nervous system takes action
+without the brain getting involved. This is particularly the case with
+things like walking and balance, which must respond fast to changes in
+ground conditions. The signals just don't have time - and don't need - to
+go all the way up to the top of the body for instructions. Rather like the
+heat reflex above, the peripheral nervous system can process information
+locally. After all, brain cells and nerve cells are really all one type of cell.
+If you have a group of people, you can conduct a fun experiment
+to show the speed of nerves. Hold hands in a big circle and squeeze the
+hand of the person next to you. When they feel you squeeze, they should
+squeeze the next person's hand and so on. The rate at which people
+squeeze hands around the circle is limited by the speed at which nerves
+conduct the signals across our bodies.
+Imaging the Brain
+There are several ways to look inside the brain without recourse to a bone
+saw. The methods are fascinating in their own right, even before we start
+looking at the results. Each image is generated using a different physical
+principle.

+x-rays
+The first Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Wilhelm Röntgen in
+1901. He had discovered 'X' rays; so called because he had no better
+name for them. X-rays, as they became known, are just light of a very
+high frequency.
+Light comes in a variety of colors; at the low end of the frequency
+scale we see red, higher up blue and, at the top, violet. At this point
+human eyes give up and cannot see anything higher, so ultraviolet
+light is invisible to us. Bees, on the other hand, can see a long way into
+the ultraviolet spectrum and some flowers have beautiful ultraviolet
+markings that attract bees for pollination. Daylight contains a great
+deal of ultraviolet light which is wasted on us - other than to tan our
+skin. But all is not lost. Clever manufacturers put fluorescent dyes
+into their washing powders which stick to our clothes and convert
+ultraviolet into visible light, making our T-shirts look brighter as they
+reflect more visible light than fell on them. You can see this effect most
+easily in a disco when ultraviolet lights are shone on the dance floor
+and anyone wearing a newly washed T-shirt will glow bright white. The
+other common substance that fluoresces strongly on a dance floor is

+But there is a second way of counting. Take your apples and put each
+next to an orange. If they match up, you can easily see they are equal in
+number. "Look," I say, "I have the same number of apples as oranges." This
+method is more primitive and does not require the concept of numbers,
+but it is very useful. If I'm a shepherd I can hold a set of counters in a bag,
+one for each sheep. To ensure all my flock are gathered in for the night I
+drop one counter into the bag as each sheep enters the enclosure. I don't
+need to give the counters number names.
+The Munduruku tribe, from the Amazon rainforest, have no concept
+of number names beyond five. Their counting system simply goes one,
+two, three, four, five, many. Yet this second way of counting allows them
+to function successfully, deciding whether two groups of things have
+the same number of elements, even if there are more than five of them.
+For example, if they need to determine if they have enough spears for a
+hunt, each person simply stands next to their spear. If everyone has one,
+they're ready. If not, then the empty handed Munduruku simply make
+one. No need for pesky numbers or mathematics lessons.
+This second way of counting is particularly useful when tackling
+infinity because we are not sure what infinity is. Treating it the same way
+the Munduruku treat the number 'many' is the safest thing to do. The
+first question we would like to answer is whether all infinite things are
+the same.

+Any collection of symbols will do. The symbols have no meaning

+But, is it true we can ignore the meaning behind the symbols. Does
+it matter that we were talking of numbers rather than spears, counters, or
+crocodiles? If we look at the marathon winning analogy again, we know
+the nature of a game is important. In a running race we can interpret
+holding hands to mean the two athletes are treated as one, the existing

+and find I'm playing against two opponents! On consideration though
+I'd be happy if they had to hold hands while they played so that they
+constituted a single player. When we examine the actual circumstances,
+we can add a rule and show the rule works, but we have to see something
+about the specific sport that makes the rule fair and workable.
+Hilbert was convinced mathematical truth is not like this and
+that proofs follow from the rulebook without any knowledge of the
+circumstances, i.e., the sport being played or any other analogous thing.
+He was to be proven wrong by Kurt Gödel.

+Königsberg Bridges
+Gödel
+Gödel studied mathematics at Königsberg University, Hilbert's
+hometown. Königsberg is famous for having a mathematical problem
+related to the seven bridges that link the city together. It's quite fun to try
+to solve. Find a route across the city that crosses each bridge once and
+once only. You can start anywhere, but no walking halfway over a bridge
+and no swimming!
+Euler discovered a rigorous mathematical proof that there can
+be no solution in 1735 after five hundred years of failure by other
+mathematicians. The answer is you cannot.
+In 1931 Kurt Gödel, then working at the University of Vienna, proved
+mathematics is like our sporting analogy. There are true statements in
+mathematics that cannot be proven by the rules of the system. Someone
+outside the system, with common sense, can see a statement is true, but
+it's impossible to prove this if you constrain yourself inside the system. It
+is the equivalent of all the members of the London Marathon Committee
+wondering what to do about the race while all of us watching the TV are
+shouting, "It's a draw!" Looking at the rulebook really hard' doesn't help.

+You have to step back and think about the problem in the round and then
+devise some additional rules to handle the circumstances. Mathematics
+is like this also.
+Here is how Gödel proved his result.
+It is easy to turn logic or any text into numbers. That's how this
+book is stored on my laptop. All we need do is translate sentences into
+ASCII or Unicode. In this way, any theory can be reduced to a string of
+numbers.
+Since Gödel's proof predates the invention of the computer, he had
+to come up with a novel way to store information. He deployed an old
+Roman invention; a substitution code. The number one was represented
+by 1, two by 2 and the symbols by larger numbers, for example, *=' was
+coded as 15 and so on. He then raised a sequence of prime numbers to
+the power of each of these codes and multiplied all the results together.
+This generated a single enormous but unique number that he could later
+factor back into its constituent parts to recover the information. This is
+a truly complicated solution to a very simple problem. Today we would
+solve it by storing each number in the memory of a computer as an array.
+Let's use the easier table method to store things and code as follows:
+000 will stand for 'start of proof. Each step in the proof will start with 00
+and each symbol in the proof starts and ends with a zero. This way we
+can code one plus one equals two as follows.
+
+I think this is simple enough for you to guess the coding scheme.
+Hint: 111 stands for 1. The scheme is on my website if you can't work
+it out. Using this technique, any series of mathematical statements can
+be turned into a number. As a series of mathematical statements is a
+proof, we can generate proof numbers. They are just the sequential list of
+all the instructions. These numbers are sometimes referred to as Gödel
+numbers.
+Gödel's next step was to say one number demonstrates the proof of
+another number. For example, the number 000820962 might demonstrate
+the proofof another number 000398... This is the mathematical equivalent
+of my saying a Word file demonstrates the truth of your mathematical
+theorem. Any statement can be represented by numbers, provided
+you have a consistent coding scheme that allows you to get back to the
+meaning.
+Now Gödel set up his paradox:

+Every correctly formed theorem number has another number,
+which demonstrates the proof of that number.
+If this is universally true there should be no contradiction.
+Unfortunately if you apply the theorem to itself you get something
+similar to the liar's paradox.
+"This proof number is not a proof of the truth of this theorem
+number."
+The proof number proves the theorem number is true, but the truth
+of the statement is that it can't be a proof of the statement... Paradox.
+The only way to resolve the paradox is to go back one step and
+realize that not every correctly formed theorem number has a proof
+number using only the rules of that system.
+Concisely, Gödel's theorem says, "Within any formal system of
+mathematics there can be statements that are true but are not provable
+using only the rules of that system."
+When Hilbert heard of Gödel's proof, his first reaction was anger.
+After all, he had spent 30 years of his life trying to prove mathematics was
+tidy and complete. Gödel had just shown it was not. Hilbert never worked
+on formalism again, but the rest of the mathematical establishment
+largely ignored the result. Gödel's proof did not stop mathematicians
+proving new theorems nor doing useful mathematics. They went on
+much as before, using a mixture of intuition and analysis. The only
+difference was someone had told them analysis alone would not succeed.
+The repercussions of Gödel's theory have more to do with understanding
+our place in the Universe and the nature of knowledge discovery. These
+are big' philosophical questions, which don't greatly affect the day-to-
+day ability of a mathematician to do their job. However, it is important
+to understand that knowledge discovery is not simply analysis. Knowing
+this helps us understand human creativity.
+Inconsistency
+In the proof above, I said the only way to resolve the paradox is by saying
+there cannot be a proof number for every mathematical statement and
+therefore mathematics is incomplete. There is one other way to solve the
+paradox, and that is by allowing inconsistency into the system. Gödel's
+proof assumes you can prove something true or false, but what if you
+could prove it true and false? In this case, the system is complete but you
+can prove truths and untruths within it! This may seem an acceptable
+solution, but inconsistency in a mathematical model is a cancer that will

+spread through the entire body. Think about it. If I am allowed to prove
+anything either way, of course, my system is complete. It can say anything
+it wants, but the proofs I make are worthless.
+Let us imagine, for a moment, we created a new system of
+mathematics where all the numbers in our new theory behave as we
+expect, except for the numbers 5 and 6. You may use them to count, but
+they are also equal to each other! This feels bad and it certainly breaks the
+Peano axioms. In my new system 1 plus 5 and 0 plus 5 are the same, so I
+can equate 0 to 1. Because 0 and 1 are the basis of binary arithmetic, all
+numbers can be equated. Numbers now have no guaranteed meaning in
+my system and, what is worse, since logic uses 1 and 0 to represents true
+and false, all of logic falls apart as well. Whenever we allow inconsistency
+into mathematics it rapidly brings the whole pack of cards down.
+The example I gave was glaring; an inconsistency right in the
+middle of the counting numbers! Maybe I was too aggressive and a
+subtle and less damaging inconsistency might be tolerable. However,
+any inconsistency allows me to make zero equal one somewhere in my
+system and, therefore, any theorem based on proof by counterexample
+will be suspect.
+There might be systems where inconsistency could be a legitimate
+part of a mathematical system, but I would always need positive
+corroboration for each proof. If I tried hard enough, I could always prove
+something either way. I would need to formulate a new mathematical
+rule - something like "I will believe short, sensible-looking proofs to be
+right and circuitous proofs to be wrong." Mathematics would be a bit like
+a court of law. You would have to weigh up the evidence from a variety
+of sources and the verdict would be a matter of subjective opinion rather
+than objective fact. Inconsistency is very bad in mathematics.

+J.R. Lucas of Oxford University believes Gödel's theorem says something
+fundamental about the nature of the human mind. In 1959, he wrote a
+paper, Minds, Machines and Gödel, where he argued humans must be able
+to think outside a fixed set of formal rules. The paper has been causing
+arguments ever since. Strong Al proponents have a visceral reaction to
+it. Forty years later, in 1989 Roger Penrose picked up the baton and put
+the Lucas argument on a stronger theoretical footing. The Lucas-Penrose

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?
+If humans used a formal system to think, they would be limited by
+the incompleteness theorem and unable to discover new theorems that
+required them to extend the formal rules. Humans do not appear to have
+such a limitation and regularly extend their appreciation of mathematics
+by expanding the rules, and seeing through to the truth.
+Many scientists dislike this argument and think it farfetched, saying
+there is no evidence to show people see past the limitation. Our brains
+could be following a formal system capable of discovering everything we
+have discovered to date or, indeed, might encounter in the future. Why
+should we assume human minds are constrained in the same way as the
+mathematical systems they discover? There is no evidence to suggest a
+human thinking about Peano arithmetic is running a Peano based model
+in their head. When Peano discovered his theorem he was certainly
+extending our mathematical knowledge, but this does not imply he was
+extending the capability of his brain.
+The critics of Lucas and Penrose have one big problem to deal with.
+The formal system in our head would need to be able to see the truth in
+everything we could ever encounter. But, our formal system appears to
+be small. As infants, it is almost nonexistent. Where does this enormous
+system come from? It can't come from our parents because they have

+a system you have and however much you extend it, the system will
+always be incomplete. And we really do mean; however large. Even an
+infinitely large formal system would be incomplete.
+The only way to avoid this problem is with some sort of conspiracy
+theory where we only come across problems our formal system can
+already solve. Such a theory is a determined Universe. In a determined
+Universe, all the mathematical problems we ever solve must be expressed
+by the formal systems existing in the Universe. We must never encounter
+a problem where we need to extend the system and break the Gödel limit
+because we are pre-determined not to do so.
+The Inconsistency Defense
+An argument put forward by opponents of the Lucas-Penrose position
+is that humans are inconsistent formal systems. Inconsistent formal
+systems are not subject to the incompleteness limit. Humans certainly
+behave inconsistently with remarkable regularity but simply making
+inconsistent statements is not sufficient to show the underlying formal
+system is, itself, inconsistent. Inconsistent beliefs can come simply from
+making mistakes or reading the same story in two different newspapers!
+We need a fundamentally inconsistent thinking mechanism inside our
+brains to break the constraint. The very machinery itself would have
+to be inconsistent. But this is exactly Penroses point. Constructing a
+machine capable of reasoning in an inconsistent but useful manner would
+need exotic technology, some sort of non-deterministic, rationalizing
+computer. The components to make it could not be computer logic as we
+know it today. All such logic is entirely computationally deterministic.
+Let me see if I can reframe the Lucas argument. Imagine IBM's
+Watson computer was let loose on mathematical reasoning. Watson could
+scan every mathematical theorem ever written down. It would know
+every programming language created. It would have its enormous bank
+of general knowledge to call upon and it could answer many questions.
+It would sometimes appear inconsistent because the information it had
+trawled from the Internet would be wrong. But Watson would still be a
+consistent formal system and Gödel's theorem says there would be truths
+Watson could never see. Lucas argues humans can see such truths where
+a machine cannot, and these truths would allow a human to discover a
+proof to a mathematical problem that would forever elude Watson.
+The Lucas argument runs into a brick wall because it asserts we see
+truths a machine cannot. For each alleged creative step, his opponents
+simply assert your brain was already sufficiently powerful to perform

+t is 1943 and a small group of Polish mathematicians sit, ears glued

+advance on Warsaw. The Polish Intelligence Bureau badly needed
+to know what the German army was planning and had recruited this
+group of young mathematicians as code breakers. Up to this point, code-
+breaking had been the domain of linguists able to see word patterns
+in apparently random sets of letters. The arrival of electro-mechanical
+machines made this method redundant, and code-breaking had become
+the domain of mathematical minds. The British, French, and American
+intelligence agencies were all hard at work deciphering the German
+codes, but only the Polish group, motivated by the imminent threat of
+invasion, had made real progress. The code they were breaking: Enigma.
+As with many inventions, Enigma got off to a difficult start. The
+inventor, Arthur Scherbius, tried to sell it to the army but they rejected it
+saying it did not provide any real military benefit. Instead, the machine
+went into service transmitting commercial shipping manifests. However,
+some senior figures in the German military had not forgotten the lesson
+of the First World War. During that war, the German army suffered
+major setbacks because the British broke all their codes early on. With
+the onset of World War II, Rommel ordered the German Army and Navy
+to deploy modern coding machines. The previously rejected Enigma was
+rapidly pressed into service and, all of a sudden, Europe went dark to
+Allied Intelligence. The man to lead the task of breaking Enigma for the
+English was Alan Turing
+Alan Turing
+Alan Turing was conceived in India but born in London in early 1912.
+He was precocious from an early age and an extraordinarily determined
+character. His first day at Public School, Sherborne in Dorset, coincided
+with the British General Strike of 1926. With no public transport available,
+the thirteen-year-old Turing cycled the 60 miles to school, staying in a
+guesthouse on the way and earning a write-up in his local newspaper.
+Turing went on to study Mathematics at King's College, Cambridge and
+was made a Fellow at only 22. In 1936 Turing, aged 24, published On
+Computable Numbers and their Application to the Entscheidungsproblem,
+not a snappy title, but one of the most influential mathematical works of
+the 20th century. The paper described the new the science of computing

+simply translated as 'the Decision Problem' - could you decide the truth
+of a mathematical statement using some sort of automatic computation
+- an 'algorithm' as we now call it?
+It is difficult to imagine, but Turing worked on 'computing' before
+the invention of the computer. When he talked of computing, he
+meant the abstract idea of doing something mechanically. The nearest
+thing he had to a 'computer' at the time was a human mindlessly but
+methodically calculating something with pencil and paper! The scientific
+paper he submitted to the London Mathematical Society described both
+the theoretical basis of computing, and the design of a general-purpose
+computing machine: the forerunner of all modern computers.
+At the time, only a handful people in the world could assess
+Turing's paper. One of them, Alonzo Church, was based at the Institute
+of Advanced Mathematics in the USA on the Princeton University
+campus, next door to the Institute for Advanced Study that housed
+Einstein. Turing travelled to America in 1937 and completed his doctoral
+thesis at Princeton. He might have stayed, but Europe was heating up
+and war seemed inevitable, so Turing returned to England to take up
+a part-time job in the government code-breaking branch. Here he was
+able to indulge his passion for hands-on engineering, experimenting
+with the newly invented valve technologies. When war finally broke out
+Turing was ordered to report to Bletchley Park, just north of London.
+This was to be the home of the top-secret British code-breaking group
+tasked with cracking Enigma. Turing's first task was to debrief the
+Polish mathematicians and see what they had discovered. The Polish
+mathematicians had seen there were flaws in Enigma that made it repeat
+itself. They had made a copy of the machine to test different coding
+configurations and had been routinely cracking Enigma for 6 years,
+but the Germans had been getting smarter and it was taking longer and
+longer to crack the codes. Turing realized he could apply the Polish ideas
+in a more general way and break the codes on an industrial scale. He was
+installed at Bletchley Park to lead the project.
+Initially he was successful but as the war continued, Enigma
+developed subtleties making it harder to break. At one point, it was
+taking a whole month to break a single day's messages. Turing realized
+the only solution was to use computer technology to fully automate the
+decryption. He built a computing machine that could simulate thousands
+of Enigma machines and try out all the possible settings in a short space
+of time. The machine acquired the nickname a bombe, perhaps because
+of the ominous ticking sound it made as it calculated (or maybe as a
+reference to the smaller Polish machines).

+Turing's Machine
+213
+Thanks to Turing's insight into coding schemes and the machines
+he designed, the British were soon able to read almost every coded
+message the Germans sent during the war, giving the Allies an enormous
+advantage. The D-Day invasion involved convincing Hitler that the Allies
+had a huge army of nearly 400,000 men, massed around Dover preparing
+an attack on Calais head on, with a second army in Scotland poised to
+attack Norway. In truth, they had only 150,000 men planning an assault
+on the Normandy Beaches in the South. Just before the landings messages
+were decoded showing Hitler had fallen for the Allied subterfuge. Even
+as the Normandy landings began, Hitler still thought this a bluff and
+kept his 28 divisions at Calais waiting for the imagined attack. Without
+this intelligence advantage, the Allies would have needed a much larger
+invasion force, and Churchill believed Turing's work shortened the war
+by as much as two years.
+The cracking of Enigma remained a secret after the war and
+Turing's story remained untold for many years. When Churchill wrote
+his history, The Second World War, a massive work in six volumes, all
+sorts of sensitive information featured, but Turing's work was omitted.
+One sentence hints that Churchill might write something about it in the
+future, but he never did. Churchill considered the work at Bletchley Park
+so sensitive he had it put in the highest classification - extending the
+30-year secrecy rule. We must presume the decoding schemes were still
+being deployed during the Cold War. The papers were finally released in
+2010.
+In one of those sad turns in history Turing was found guilty of gross
+indecency for homosexuality in 1954, a criminal act at the time, and was
+prescribed hormone treatment. This affected his mental state and he took
+his life by eating an apple laced with cyanide. He was eventually honored
+posthumously as a war hero and one of the most significant thinkers of
+the 20th Century. A Turing Award is the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for
+Computing. He was given a royal pardon in 2013.
+To see how Turing came up with the idea for the Turing machine
+and solved the decision problem, we need to get a feel for theoretical
+mathematics. That might sound a little heavy going but don't worry, I will
+use a simple piece of mathematics to explain, one we have all played with
+as children, secret codes.

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?
+Codes
+Everyone has played with some sort of
+secret code as a child - the Aggy Waggy
+game, passing notes written in invisible
+ink made from lemon juice, or perhaps
+a simple cypher. If I want to send you a
+secret message, I can use a substitution
+code. Let's see how good a code breaker
+you are. Can you decode this?
+Gdkkn Qdzcdq
+It's really easy. You might guess the
+message from the pattern of letters and
+Enigma Machine
+your knowledge of my writing style. There are a couple of interesting
+patterns to note: the 3'd and 4th letter of the first word are the same and
+the first and last letter of the second word are the same. As a test I gave
+this code to my wife and my eight-year-old daughter to see how long it
+took them to decode... Less than a minute for my wife - a linguist. We
+will come back to my daughter shortly!
+Roman Emperors used this sort of simple code to secure their
+messages, but modern codes have to be a great deal more sophisticated.
+Let us use a progressive cipher where we vary the substitution using a
+secret word. Take the name of my dog and write it down repeatedly next
+to the letters of the message you want to keep secret. Now translate all
+the letters in the message and the code into numbers 'a' = 1, 'b' = 2 and
+so on. Then add the letters of my dog's name to the letters of the message
+one at a time. If I get to 26 (*z') just wrap around to a and carry on. This
+is called modulo arithmetic. This coding scheme will translate 'l' to 'a' the
+first time but 'l' to'' the second making it much harder for a linguist to
+see any pattern.

+The advantage of this cipher is that I can easily remember the name
+George. I don't need to write it down. And the circular application makes
+the message sufficiently obscure you can't easily work it out...
+Is this, therefore, a good code?
+No.
+This cipher is easy to break. Once you have guessed that I have
+applied a repeated short code word, you can write out ALL the possibilities
+and decrypt my message! This may be tedious, but if you are fighting a
+war and your life depends on it, you can employ a thousand people to
+write them all out. The British government employed 10,000 people at
+Bletchley Park, many of them doing exactly this. You might think that
+applying ALL the possibilities is too time consuming in practice but
+there are many shortcuts. If I suspect the message contains the name
+of a German town all I need do is try keys until I find a German town
+somewhere in the message then work my way outwards from there. Or
+perhaps I suspect the key is something easy to remember like the name
+of the Commandant's dog. I can try ALL German dog names until I get
+lucky. If I've 10,000 people working for me this is easy.
+The Enigma machine and the coding process set up to operate it
+was designed to remove these loopholes. For a start, the keys were all
+random numbers taken from a code book - no dog names allowed - and
+the machine took the idea of a simple progressive cipher and made it
+much more complex.
+Imagine I took my GeorgeGeorgeGeorge pattern but then every
+3rd character added one, every 14*h character subtracted 15 and every
+40th character added the 3d letter of the First Mate's mother's maiden
+name. Now this would be a VERY hard code to break. I would need a
+machine to code messages because if I tried to do it by hand I would
+make so many mistakes that the messages I send would be unintelligible.
+The Enigma machine made these coding schemes a practical possibility.
+But, although Enigma is hard to break it is not impossible with enough
+computing power. Is there any code that is impossible to break?
+An Unbreakable code
+Is there a way of coding a message so you can never break it?
+The answer is there are two ways to code a message so it is
+PERFECTLY safe. The first is to use a one-time pad and the second is
+quantum cryptography.

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?
+One perfect way to encode a message is to use a one-time pad. On
+a sheet of paper I write a completely random set of numbers or letters
+- since we are going to translate numbers to letters it does not matter
+which. I make a copy and give it to a person I later want to send a coded
+message. Because I will only use these two paired sheets once it helps to
+make a few of them - a pad in fact. By convention, we refer to a single
+sheet or a whole book as a one-time pad code. Here is the one-time pad I
+created earlier. It is just a random sequence of letters and spaces.
+kaleygnqaloiuebldlan dikawoqyevbax gmIsosuebal
+To code a message, I substitute numbers for letters as with the
+progressive cypher earlier again using modulo arithmetic to wrap around
+if I reach the letter 'Z. I have applied my one-time pad to the hello reader
+message below to get 'sfacngfvbpta.
+hello reader
+sfacngfvbpta
+This code is unbreakable - almost! Notice there are very few clues
+for anyone wanting to decode it without holding a copy of the pad. Spaces
+do not necessarily indicate breaks between words, and letter patterns are
+absent. It has only one flaw. The total number of characters and spaces
+could have some meaning. This is a problem because if I routinely
+communicated bombing targets and my message was "Bomb Bath". You
+could figure out the sender was not going to bomb Bristol if the message
+were shorter than 11 letters and spaces. To avoid this problem, messages
+are extended with nonsense at beginning and end to make sure no
+information can be gleaned from the length. The convention is to code
+messages to the full length of the pad. You must never reuse a pad. Each
+time you code a message, rip off that page rather like a calendar. Destroy
+it and use the next page for the next message. At the other end, the
+recipient uses his copy of the pad to run the process in reverse. Decode
+the message by swapping each letter according to the modulo method,
+rip the page from the pad, and burn it. Because each key is only used
+once you can't use any sort of statistical method to work out the message,
+making the one-time pad perfectly secure. Claude Shannon proved this
+in 1945 while working for Bell Corporation but, due to wartime secrecy,
+his proof was not published until 1948.

+The Perfect Code
+The proof that a one-time pad is perfectly secret is straightforward.
+Imagine I take a coin and flip it 1000 times. I'll write down some of the
+results as follows:
+ННТНHHTTHTTTHTTTTTHTH...
+I give you a copy of my results and keep one for myself. Now we
+each have the same random set of Heads and Tails recorded on a piece
+of paper. I can convert any message from letters to binary numbers: 'a
+= 00000001, 'b' = 00000010, 'c' = 00000011 and so on. If you are not
+familiar with binary just assume I have a code where we only ever use
+combinations of 0s or 1s. To encrypt the message we flip each bit - 0 goes
+to 1 or 1 goes to 0 - using my random list of heads and tails according
+to the following rule: If I have a head flip the bit, otherwise leave it the
+same. I now have a randomized message, and it really is truly random. To
+convince yourself, imagine answering the question, do you like coffee or
+tea? Think of your answer and flip a coin. If the coin lands heads change
+your answer otherwise leave it the same. Now write your answer down.
+Try it out a few times. Do you see you end up with a totally random set
+of decisions - tea, coffee, coffee, tea, tea, tea. If you don't record the coin
+toss there is no way to determine your true answer.
+Similarly, the message I encoded above now looks like a completely
+random stream of 1s and 0s and the only person who can decode it is the
+party with the other record of the coin tosses. Apply this to the message
+and, as if by magic, the message reappears. Any other random sequence
+will yield gibberish. It has to be the SAME random sequence I used in
+the first place.
+Mathematically, the proof involves working out that the probability
+of getting the right answer by applying a random sequence is 1 in 2" and
+the probability I could guess the answer is also 1 in 2'? The same! So the
+chance of decrypting the message knowing the encryption method is the
+same as simply guessing the message and getting lucky. Therefore, the
+message is perfectly encrypted.
+Quantum Cryptography
+It turns out there is one other perfect encryption method that involves
+thinking about the nature of secrets. Normally we consider the primary
+problem with sending a secret message is coding it so that it can't be read

+by anyone but the intended recipient. However, wouldn't it be equally
+valuable to know if someone other than the recipient had intercepted
+and read the message? This is the trick quantum cryptography gives us.
+Taking a measurement with a quantum device disturbs the system
+so measurements can be taken only once with the same results. By the
+same logic, I could send you a message and if someone else has read it in
+the meantime, you will know. I could arrange to meet with you in Berlin
+and if you detect the message has been intercepted, you could simply not
+show up.
+I could use this same technique to send you a one-time pad. If you
+receive it without it being overheard, I could then safely send you an
+encrypted message. In 2007, this technique was used to transmit the
+results of a Swiss election from the polling booths to the central counting
+center.
+Enigma
+World War II accelerated the evolution of encryption from simple
+substitutions a human could perform to complex ciphers only a machine
+could calculate. You might wonder why everyone does not use a one-
+time-pad since it is a perfect code. The problem is distributing and
+maintaining the pads while keeping them secret. My daughter cracked
+my earlier code because she knows my laptop password, broke in, and
+read the answer. That's the problem with codes - security. The pads
+could be sent out in sealed envelopes but it would be easy to intercept an
+envelope, copy the pad and reseal it. You would then have a perfect and
+undetectable way to break the code. Also, if I were an Admiral wanting
+to communicate with my fleet of submarines I would need a huge pad
+- one page for every message I want to send - and either a pad for each
+submarine or one pad for all submarines. If I use only one pad, then I
+cannot talk to a submarine privately, and if any pad were lost all security
+would be breached. One-time-pads were used by both sides during
+World War Two, and often printed on nitrocellulose - a chemical similar
+to the explosive nitroglycerine. This allowed users to burn the codebooks
+quickly if an enemy threatened to capture them.
+Both the Americans and British captured Enigma machines and
+codebooks during the war. A Navy Enigma machine was a sought-after
+prize, as it was more complex than the Army version, with extra dials
+and plug settings. To crack the more sophisticated codes Bletchley Park

+needed to get hold of Enigma machines, ideally without the Germans'
+knowledge. The film U-571 merges two such capture stories into one,
+taking a few dramatic liberties along the way, but it's well worth watching.
+Even with a captured machine, the codes were hard to break. You
+needed a starting point - a crib to give you a clue what the machine
+settings were. Helpfully, the German Army often began their messages
+with a weather report. Everyone knows the German word for weather -
+'Wetter'. Decode the first 20 letters of a message until you found 'Wetter'
+and the message is unlocked. The German Navy, however, was less chatty
+and avoided obvious words in their messages. One way the Allies could
+find a crib was to blow something up. They would sail to some point in
+the Atlantic, fill an old boat with oil drums, and set it alight. The German
+Navy would get wind of this and go to investigate. The first thing they
+would do is to radio a message back to base with the coordinates of
+the wreckage, which, of course, the British already knew. This gave the
+British a crib, and once they were in, they could decode messages for
+several days in a row because the Enigma machines often cycled through
+a repeating pattern.
+Throughout the War, the German military never suspected the
+British had cracked their codes and thought they must have traitors giving
+away their secrets. The Enigma machine was an elegant compromise
+between a truly unbreakable code and a simple cipher. Unfortunately for
+the Germans, Turing was on the side of the Allies.
+In the 1930s almost all mathematics, accounting, and code-breaking
+were performed by humans using pencil and paper. It was the science
+behind this process Turing sought to understand. We'll take a step back
+in time again to 1935 and Turing's discovery of a solution to the Decision
+Problem - the Entscheidungsproblem.

+The Machine
+luring probably learned of the Entscheidungsproblem in a lecture
+given at Cambridge University by Max Newman. Newman
+described a new proof by Gödel showing mathematics was
+incomplete. The proof solved the completeness and consistency problems
+by turning mathematical statements into numbers and showing you
+could generate a logical paradox if you tried to argue for completeness
+and consistency at the same time. Thus, of the three original Hilbert
+problems, completeness, consistency and decidability, only decidability
+remained unanswered.
+Turing spent all of 1935 and much of 1936 thinking about
+this question: Is mathematics intuitive, or could a machine decide
+mathematical questions automatically? Eventually, cycling through
+the Cambridge countryside one day, he stopped to rest in a field near
+Grantchester and in a flash of inspiration envisioned his mathematical
+machine. The machine was entirely imaginary but made as if from
+mechanical parts common in the 1930s.
+The idea was to reduce the process of computing with pen and paper
+to its most basic level. Turing hit upon the idea of using a long ribbon of
+paper tape similar to the ones used in telegraph machines. A paper tape
+is simpler than rectangular paper as it can be handled mathematically as
+a single sequence of numbers - we don't have to worry about turning the
+page or working in two dimensions. If you are worried that a tape is less
+powerful than a sheet of paper remember Cantor's theorem: an infinite
+plane is the same as an infinite line. The use of a tape massively simplified
+the mathematics, and subsequently many early computers used tapes, as
+they were easy to handle in practice as well as in theory.

+The eye, hand and pencil of a human mathematician was modeled
+as the read-write head of a teletype. It allowed the machine to read
+input from the tape and write information back so as to keeping track of
+intermediate calculations or provide the final output. The operation of
+the machine was straightforward. At each moment in time the machine
+could read a symbol on the tape, move the tape forward or backwards,
+and write or erase a symbol. That's all he needed to model a human doing
+something like long multiplication. Turing argued his model was exactly
+analogous to a human performing a computation.
+Turing's imaginary machine was now able to perform computations
+just like a human. You could write down the rules for a given procedure
+and the machine could, for example, do long multiplication. At each step
+of the calculation, the computer would examine the state machine, look
+up the state in the instruction book and put the machine into its new
+state. If you recall Searle's Chinese Room, this is the same process the
+man in the room followed: get a symbol, look it up in a book, and reply
+with the corresponding symbol.
+Universal Turing Machine
+We have missed one important step from our explanation of the modern
+computer: the ability to run programs. Nowadays, we take for granted
+you can download a program from the Internet or buy one from a shop.
+In the 1930s adapting a single machine to multiple purposes was a radical
+idea. Machines were built to do one thing, and one thing only, and there
+was no concept of a general-purpose machine. Nowadays this is hard to
+comprehend, but there is a similar revolution going on in manufacturing
+today with the widespread adoption of 3D printing. Today most factories
+use tools - lathes, drills and saws - to fashion objects. Each machine does
+a specific job and is not general purpose. But innovative new machines
+can now be purchased relatively inexpensively called 3D fabricators,
+which print entire objects. The same happened for electronic logic in
+Turing's time.
+Before computers, logical tasks were performed by banks of relays.
+How these banks work can be illustrated by the workings of an old-
+fashioned elevator. If you pressed a button to call an elevator, you closed
+a switch coupled to a relay in the basement sending power to the car.
+Another switch was tripped automatically when the elevator reached the
+desired floor. All the functioning of the elevator system was fixed. Once
+you pressed a button to go up you could not change your mind and press

+had a fixed set of hard-wired logic, a rule book. In order to perform
+different tasks - say addition or multiplication you had to use a different
+rule book. His revolutionary idea was to write a rule book that told
+the machine to read a soft-wired set of instructions from the tape and
+execute those instead. He called this a Universal machine since it could
+perform any procedure written on the tape. Today we call this software.
+It is fair to say Turing was not the first to use this idea. Charles Babbage's
+analytical engine could read instructions from cards and execute
+different procedures, but Turing thought through all the ramifications
+of the idea and made it general purpose, giving us the modern science
+of computing. It is easy to build a real Turing machine, but by today's
+standards it is a little clumsy; a team in Denmark has built one using
+Lego. You can see a link on my website.
+Very soon after Turing's paper was published, a number of people

+execution. You might ask what runs the operating system and that is a
+smaller program called the BIOS. What runs BIOS? An even smaller
+program called the Bootstrap. Once all this is up and running you have a
+working computer, which can run any program you throw at it.
+The problem with programs is they tend to crash - usually at
+the most inconvenient times. It is often not clear whether a program
+has truly crashed. It might be stuck in an infinite loop, or it could be
+calculating the answer to a complex question, such as the answer to life,
+the Universe, and everything. How would we know? If only I had waited
+a little longer before rebooting, the program would have run to its end
+and given me the answer to Douglas Adams' question.
+It would be very useful, and save a great deal of time, if I had a way
+of telling whether a program will ever stop. An elegant solution would be
+to have a second program called 'Halt, which would test the program and
+output will halt' or 'will crash' as appropriate. It turns out this program
+would be more than just useful. It could be used as an oracle, capable of
+answering almost any question imaginable.
+I could, for example, write a program that says: for every index in
+Fermat's puzzle try every number and halt if you find a solution greater
+than 2. Now if I run my halt program on this program and it states will
+crash', I will have solved Fermat's Last Theorem! Do you see why?
+If we give 'Halt' an input: a program we are interested in, along with
+some data, it will tell us if the program finds an answer. If I am trying to
+solve Fermat's Last Theorem, we will ask it to try every possible index for
+the equation 3*+4*=5* and halt when it finds a true result greater than 2.
+If the halt program says yes and halts, you can trace through the program
+and work out how it did it. The theory would be proved. If the program
+says no, the theory is disproved. This gives us a way to discover proofs of
+many mathematical theorems.
+I could try almost any puzzle using a program with this form. All I
+need do is put a problem in the following decision format: try all possible
+options, and then stop and ring a bell if a solution is found. The Halt
+program would then give the result leading to untold riches, winning all
+the remaining Clay Mathematics prizes at the very least and earning me
+$6m.
+Does such a magical program exist? The answer, sadly, is no. There
+is no Halt program and the final part of Turing's paper proved there can
+never be.

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?
+The Proof
+Let's write a list of all the possible programs my laptop could ever run. A
+comprehensive way to do this is to start at one and try every number. As
+I count up I am simply generating numbers, for example, 5,433,232, then
+turning each number into a program file and running it. For a bit of fun,
+I created a couple and tried them out on my laptop. They did nothing, so
+it was not very edifying. Most numbers are just junk because programs
+have to be in the right format for the computer you are working on. It's
+just like words. If you randomly take a handful of scrabble tiles out of a
+bag, most of the time you will have nonsense, but every now and they
+you will have an actual word. Be careful with this; you could accidentally
+write, "delete every item on my hard disk." Of course, the probability is
+astronomically low, but Murphy's Law says it will happen, so back up
+your data!
+As you count up, you will generate every possible program along the
+way. A mathematician would say programs are recursively enumerable.
+The word recursive means there is an algorithm and enumerable means
+to count. Therefore, there is a counting algorithm that would run every
+imaginable program. Here is a list of them, or at least a some of the
+highlights:
+0 (probably doesn't run)
+1 (ditto)
+00 (ditto)
+01 (ditto)
+011001001001000100 (makes the computer beep once)
+... (from here on I'll give the program names since the numbers are
+too large to print)
+Does Nothing (there are many of these)
+Is Gibberish (there are an infinite number of these)
+Junk (an infinite number of these)
+Print Something (again an infinite number of these)
+More Gibberish
+Excel
+Word
+PowerPoint
+Mathematica...

+227
+and so on.
+You can see that every program imaginable is generated in our
+list. If you are wondering which version of Word or Excel, the answer
+is every version and every bug ridden unreleased version as well. We
+are enumerating every program that could ever be run in the known
+universe!
+Perhaps you can see a problem looming. I can pose any mathematical
+puzzle in a clever way so that a program only stops if there is a solution.
+I am about to list every possible program that could ever be created. If
+halt exists this will automatically prove every mathematical theorem
+imaginable.
+Let us see if this is so.
+For our thought experiment, we will assume every program takes
+an input. Historical convention in computing means this is generally the
+case. If you type a program into the command line of a computer with
+some words listed afterwards, the computer will usually run the program
+with the words as input. For example, if you type, "Print 'Hello World',
+most computers will print 'Hello World'.
+We now imagine there is a Halt program that can run on an infinity
+of inputs. Will it work for every input? We are looking for a paradox
+caused by the existence of the Halt program. If Halt causes a paradox
+then Halt cannot exist.
+Here goes...
+If there is a Halt program, we can write a Crash program. That's a
+program that goes into an infinite loop if it detects a program will halt.
+Now what happens when we feed Crash into itself? Does Crash halt if it
+runs with the input Crash?
+This creates a paradox; there is no solution which makes sense. It's
+similar to the Barber Paradox of earlier. Since a paradox is created there
+must be a fault in our original theory. The error is the existence of Crash.
+Since Crash cannot exist and it was created as the logical opposite of
+Halt, Halt cannot exist either. QED. There is no general program that will
+tell if another program will halt because such a program could not run
+with the negative of itself as input.
+This places a limit on the power of computers to automatically
+solve problems. There is certainly no general purpose algorithm which
+will solve every problem. Slightly more subtly there is no general
+purpose program that is guaranteed to solve one arbitrary problem.

+If there were, you could just write a program to sequentially present

+This presents us with a puzzle. A huge software industry has
+grown up based on Turing's ideas, employing tens of millions of people
+worldwide. This industry regularly solves all manner of problems.
+The proof from Turing's original 1936 paper suggests there should be
+quite strict limits on the power of computers. In the next chapter, we
+will examine this industry and take a look at Turing's theorem from a

+n No Silver Bullet - Essence and Accidents of Software Engineering,
+are not going to do it for us anytime soon. The original article
+appeared in the proceedings of the Tenth World Software Conference.
+It was subsequently expanded into the, now famous, book, The Mythical
+Man Month.
+Brooks believed solving real world problems involves understanding
+the essential complexity of life. 'Accidental Complexity' - the simple type
+- is the time-consuming part of writing software, for example, listing all
+220 countries of the world in a website, or making sure all the buttons in
+an interface line up correctly. These tasks are tedious - you have to look
+up all the countries in Wikipedia and make decisions, such as whether
+the United Kingdom will be denoted 'UK' or 'GB. They don't need any
+real ingenuity. 'Essential Complexity' is altogether different. It involves
+understanding the world and setting out the rules in meticulous detail.
+Brooks argued essential complexity is not susceptible to being sped up
+by machine processes. Navigating these architectural decisions cannot
+be automated. He gives us an analogy by comparing writing software to
+building a house.
+When you build a house, an architect designs it, an engineer makes
+the calculations to ensure it is safe, and a construction firm builds it. The
+construction process dominates the cost and time. In software projects,
+an engineer writes a program that precisely defines the design and the
+construction and calculation is done by a compiler - software that
+takes the design and makes it machine-readable. Compilers operate in
+a fraction of a second. Making software is, therefore, dominated by the
+design time, and design is all about capturing the essential complexity
+of a task.
+This chapter will try to show where essential complexity comes
+from, why computers can't tackle this sort of complexity and, therefore,
+why they can't write software. Good news for programmers as this means
+job security!
+For a more thorough treatment of the mathematics read my paper
+The Free Will Universe at www.jamestagg.com/freewillpaper.

+Silver Bullets
+Can't be Fired
+uman brains are wonderfully creative things. We can compose
+of problems. Many people use their brains to write software. In
+our modern-day lives we use software all the time: when we access the
+web, type on a word processor or play a computer game. Software also
+inhabits many apparently dumb devices. Modern cars contain dozens
+of computers quietly working away; providing entertainment and
+navigation, controlling the engine, and helping the car brake safely. In
+my living room I count over a hundred computers. Many are tiny, like
+the one in my TV remote control, while others are hidden as parts of
+larger machines. The laptop on which I write has over twenty computers
+inside it, besides the main Intel processor.
+One thing all these computers have in common is that a human
+being sat for many hours writing their software. Software is formal logic
+written in something resembling English.
+If I go to my ATM and try to withdraw cash, a programmer will
+have written out the logic for the transaction as a set of rules.
+When I put my bankcard in the slot, and type in my PIN, a line of
+software will ask: If the bank balance of 'James Tagg' is less than twenty
+dollars and I have pressed withdraw' for an amount in excess of twenty
+dollars, then display, "We are sorry we cannot process the transaction at
+this time." and return the card. There seems to be an unwritten rule that
+the things a computer says should be accurate but unhelpful!

+It would have been much more helpful if the computer had said,
+"You do not have enough balance in your account." And, it would have
+been more helpful still if it had asked whether I needed a temporary
+overdraft. However, such a feature needs many more lines of software
+and this is time-consuming to write.
+Software takes time and is expensive, because it has to be written
+in a general-purpose way. Any name could substitute for James Tagg,
+and any amount could be used. After all, it would be useless if an ATM
+machine could only give out $20 to one person. The generalization of
+software makes use of variables instead of fixed values and this renders
+it hard to understand. Wherever we meet an idea that needs to be
+generalized, a letter must be used instead of a fixed value. Computer
+programs tend to look like this: if'a' wants to do 'b' with 'c' then allow
+it only if 'd' is greater than 'c. The software programmer has to keep
+track of all the possible values that could be inserted into each of the
+variables and make sure each and every combination would make sense.

+commercial software, equating to about 10 words per day. A good typist
+types at 80 words per minute and most programmers are reasonable
+typists. So software writers in a big project spend only a minute or so
+per day in the act of writing. The rest is taken up by meetings, process
+discussions, email, reporting and so on. In projects that avoid much
+of this administrative overhead, good software programmers reach a
+long-run average of about 225 lines per day. This has been the level of
+productivity on the products I have developed in the past. These projects
+were lucky. They had a single team on the task from beginning to end and,
+in general, the projects took few wrong turns. Still these programmers
+were spending only 10-20 minutes of each day on actual programming.
+What were they doing the rest of the time?
+In the early days of programming you might have a great idea,
+but the process of turning this idea into software was immensely long-
+winded. I learned to program at Manchester University in the 1980s. The
+enormous machines in the basement of the computer building provided
+heat for both our building and the mathematics tower next door. We were
+not permitted to play with these basement monsters but were 'privileged'
+to submit instructions to a mini computer in the undergraduate section
+- a PDP11-34.
+For those of you not acquainted with computers I can tell you the
+process of writing software in the 1980s was immensely tedious. To
+add two numbers and display them on a screen took a month of lab
+time, using detailed instructions written in machine code. Everything
+was manual, including writing your code out in pencil on special paper
+with little numbered squares and then giving it to someone to type in
+overnight! You would return the next day to discover whether you had a
+usable program or a something riddled with errors. If you found an error,
+it would require editing. This was nothing like using a modern word
+processor. The online editors of the day were the ultimate in annoying
+software. If you misspelled a word, you would need to count up the letters
+and spaces manually on a printout and enter a command - replace letter
+27 of line 40 with the character r. Each and every typo would take five
+minutes to correct. I managed to finish the simple program required for
+course credit - I think it displayed an eight-digit decimal number - and
+ran for the hills. In my second year I bought a PC and decamped to
+the physics department next door where I remained for the rest of my
+undergraduate life.
+The PC revolution provided programmers with a new and intuitive
+software creation environment where almost all the tedium was removed

+Microsoft and Philip Kahn of Borland, along with intuitive applications
+such as the spreadsheet invented by Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston and
+made popular by Lotus Corporation. Today all computers have elegant
+WYSIWYG, "What You See Is What You Get' interfaces, where you drag
+and drop elements into place on the screen. Over the last 25 years writing
+software has sped up and stopped being tedious - becoming almost a joy!
+In No Silver Bullet, Brooks explains that writing software can't be
+accelerated any further because all the tedious mechanical tasks have
+already been removed. Remember his analogy: Writing software is like
+building a house, but with some important differences. With a house,
+an architect handles the design and then turns over construction to
+a building company. Construction takes an appreciable time, more
+time than the design and quite a bit more effort. But in software the
+construction is totally automated. When we complete the design for a
+piece of software we press compile on the computer and the software
+is built and tested automatically in a matter of seconds. Speeding this
+process up any further would make only a tiny improvement in the
+overall software creation time, since the process is already 99% design
+and 1% building. For the most part, the creative process of writing
+software cannot be improved through mechanical means.
+This is not always the case. I recently upgraded the machines for
+some developers I work with. We added solid state hard drives. Compiling
+a program now takes only 10 seconds, compared with 6 minutes before.
+Because programmers nowadays tend to compile their programs very
+regularly we estimate this saves them as much as an hour a day. This is
+the only real innovation I have seen in the build phase of software in the
+last 5 years, and it's arguably not an innovation at all. We just forgot to
+keep on top of the build time and allowed it to get out of hand.
+You might argue some counter examples. Modern software design
+suites let you drag and drop things on the screen to make applications
+or build a website. Two hundred million people have managed to put
+together WordPress websites using this technique. These are mechanical
+procedures for solving a programming task and seem to contradict my
+argument. They allow us to lay out graphics, press a button and turn the
+design into software. But they perform very simple tasks. The computer
+simply notes the coordinates of each box on the screen and places those
+numbers into a file. The process is entirely mechanical and could be
+performed by a clerk with no programming knowledge following a set
+of rules. The computer just does it faster. I did the clever work; I had the

+idea for the software, I came up with the idea for the interface, I decided
+where to place the boxes, and I chose all the colors, fonts and graphics. I
+did all the creative bits!
+So, now we know what programmers do all day. They create!
+Origins of Software
+Alan Turing first described the modern day computer in a paper presented
+to the London Mathematical Society in 1936. He was not trying to invent
+the computer. That was a by-product. He was trying to solve a puzzle that
+had been troubling mathematicians for 30 years: The Decision Problem.
+David Hilbert set out the challenge during a public lecture to the
+French Academy of Science in 1901, marking the turn of the century.
+Rather than give a boring lecture extolling the virtues of scientists, he
+decided to give his audience a list of all the puzzles mathematicians were
+stumped on.
+Rather like the XPRIZE of today, he presented the problems as
+a series of challenges. Sadly for the mathematicians of his time, there
+were no million dollar prizes on offer, just a moment of fame and the
+adulation of their colleagues. Each challenge was given a number. The
+list included many famous puzzles; the Riemann Hypothesis, the puzzle
+of Diophantine Equations and the Navier Stokes Hypothesis, to name
+only three. A group of these questions were to coalesce into what we now
+know as the Decision Problem.
+The Decision Problem is very important to computer science
+because it asks whether an algorithm can be written to automatically
+discover other algorithms. Since all software is itself algorithmic you
+could rephrase the question: Can software write software? This might
+seem esoteric. But, if you are a computer scientist, it is an important
+question. If we could solve all mathematical problems automatically
+we would not need mathematicians anymore. And, since programs are
+applied mathematics, the same goes for computer programmers.
+Before you breathe a sigh of relief because you are neither a
+mathematician nor a computer scientist, you should remember it is
+possible to describe all knowledge using numbers. That's what your
+iPhone does when it stores music. If everything can be represented by
+numbers, then a fast-enough computer could use an algorithm to create
+everything! You really could set Douglas Adams' Ultimate Question of
+Life the Universe and Everything before a computer and it would come
+up with the answer - presumably extrapolating the existence of rice
+pudding and income tax along the way.

+Algorithms
+Back in the 1930s no mechanical system could perform a calculation
+with any speed. People still used pencil and paper for most things; the
+newly-invented mechanical cash registers were slow and could perform
+only one calculation for each crank of the handle. If you wanted to
+calculate something complex, you had to employ a computer: a person
+who could do mental arithmetic enormously fast. Richard Feynman's
+first job was computing for the Manhattan Project. The question was:
+Could a computer, either mechanical or human, blindly follow known
+rules to decide all mathematical questions? Hilbert's 10th Problem asked
+this question of a particular type of mathematical expression - called a
+Diophantine equation.
+Hilbert's 10th Problem
+"Given a Diophantine equation with any number of unknown
+quantities, devise a finite process to
+determine whether the
+equation is solvable in rational integers."
+David Hilbert
+Diophantus lived in ancient Persia - now Iran. His son died young
+and Diophantus was so consumed by grief he retreated into mathematics.
+He left us seven books of mathematical puzzles - some he devised himself
+and some of them taken from antiquity. The puzzles look deceptively
+simple and are all based on equations using whole numbers. His most
+famous puzzle is set in a poem which tells how old Diophantus was when
+he died. Can you solve it?
+"Here lies Diophantus, the wonder behold. Through art algebraic,
+the stone tells how old: 'God gave him his boyhood one-sixth of
+his life, One twelfth more as youth while whiskers grew rife; And
+then yet one-seventh ere marriage begun; In five years there came
+a bouncing new son. Alas, the dear child of master and sage, after
+attaining half the measure of his father's age, life chill fate took him.
+After consoling his fate by the science of numbers for four years, he
+ended his life."
+Diophantine puzzles look straightforward. Hilbert asked if these
+problems could be solved by a mechanical procedure, in modern terms,
+by an algorithm. To show you what is meant by this, allow me to take you

+Long Multiplication
+back to your childhood. Do you recall being taught long multiplication
+at school? Take a look at the next illustration and it will all come flooding
+back. Once you learn the process of long multiplication you can follow
+the rules and get the right answer for any similar problem every time. To
+do this, you lay out the calculation in a particular format and apply the
+logic. Multiply each number by a single digit of the other number and
+then add the results together.
+Diophantine problems are a little more complex than long
+multiplication and some of them are a bit abstruse. But there is one
+very famous Diophantine problem we can all recite. "The square on the
+hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides." The
+equation for a Pythagorean triangle.
+The theorem applies to right-angled triangles and there are sixteen
+whole number solutions, known as Pythagorean triples; three, four, five;
+is one example.

+Purists may protest that Fermat's Last Theorem isn't strictly

+A question that taxed mathematicians for many centuries was
+whether there are triples for higher powers, such as cubes. In other words,
+would the cube of the hypotenuse be equal to the sum of the cubes of the
+other two sides for some set of numbers? After much work, it was proven
+no triple exists which can solve the cubic equation. But what happens if

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?
+"The hypercube of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the hypercubes
+of the other two sides." A picture of the hypercube might help you
+visualize things.
+It's quite difficult to get your head around this shape because it is
+hard to think in four dimensions. This seems strange because we have no
+problem seeing in three dimensions on flat, two-dimensional paper - it's
+called a picture, but four dimensions on flat paper appears to stump us.
+Again there is no solution for a hypercube: no Pythagorean triple exists.
+Fermat's Last Theorem asked whether this inequality for the cube
+and the hypercube is true for all higher dimensions - for the hyper-
+hypercube, the hyper-hyper-hypercube and so on. Tantalizingly, he
+claimed to have found a proof but wrote that it was too large to fit in
+the margin of his book. It's partly due to this arrogant annotation
+that it became the most famous puzzle in mathematics, frustrating
+mathematicians for nearly 400 years.
+Hilbert's question back at the turn of the 20" century was whether a
+machine could find a proof of this conjecture by following a mechanical
+procedure, similar to our long multiplication example above.
+The puzzle was eventually solved in 1995 by Andrew Wiles, a mere
+358 years after Fermat claimed to have solved it. Wiles' proof runs to
+eighty pages of densely typed mathematical notation - considerably
+larger than the margin in which Fermat claimed his proof did not quite
+fit! There is an excellent book by Simon Singh - Fermat's Last Theorem -
+that tells the whole story.
+We now know for certain, thanks to Wiles, that the answer is no?
+There are sixteen answers to the two-dimensional triangle puzzle but
+there is none for any higher dimension all the way up to infinity. How
+might a computer tackle this problem and find a proof?
+A computer could apply brute force and try many solutions; every
+combination up to 100 million has already been tried and no exception
+found. But, mathematicians are haunted by big mistakes of the past.
+There were theories they imagined to be true until someone discovered
+a counterexample. This sort of thing dogged prime number theorems.
+Mathematicians don't like to look foolish and
+are suspicious of
+practical answers, "Well, I've tried it and I can't seem to find an exception."
+This sort of argument does not wash with them. That's what engineers
+and physicists do. Mathematicians are better than that!
+Mathematicians want definitive answers; "It is certain no solution
+can exist', and these sorts of answers require an understanding of the
+problem to see why no solution could exist. That's a very high bar. What
+we need is a program that, rather than mechanically trying every possible

+combination, takes our problem and definitively says, "Yes, there is a
+solution," or, "No, there is not." There are plenty of man-made proofs of
+this nature. Pythagoras's proof there are an infinite number of primes
+is an example. Pythagoras did not have to try every prime number. He
+simply understood the nature of prime numbers and gave us a logical
+reason why it is so.
+Mathematicians love a general solution. One way to solve Hilbert's
+10th Problem would be to find a single mechanical way to solve every
+problem. If you could solve every possible problem, you could certainly
+solve Hilbert's 10 Problem. It turns out there is a way to test whether
+every problem has a mechanical solution - pose the Halting Question.
+The Halting Question
+I should say for a little historical color that the Halting Problem was not
+called that by Turing. The name was coined much later, in the sixties, by
+Martin Davis. Turing knew the problem by the less catchy name of the
+"not crashing" problem, or as he preferred, "Being circle free", meaning
+the program did not get caught in an infinite loop.
+To understand halting we should imagine a brute force program
+stepping through all the possible solutions to Fermat's problem. If there
+is a solution this stepping program will eventually halt and answer true.
+If there is not, the program will run forever. Can we predict a program
+will not run forever? At first pass this is hard. We can't watch it forever
+and say, "It never halted." So is there a clever way to do this? An algorithm
+perhaps?
+The Answer to the Ultimate Question
+The answer is 'No!' In 1936, Alan Turing proved there is no general-
+purpose mechanical way to tell whether a program is going to find an
+answer at all, much less what the answer is. This means Hilbert's Decision
+Problem has no solution; there is no general purpose algorithm which
+will discover all mathematical theorems.
+Turing succeeded in proving this by turning the problem on its
+head. He proved that a crash detection program is unable to see whether
+it will crash itself. Since you cannot tell whether a program will crash
+- and by this I mean go into an infinite loop - you cannot tell if it will
+halt. He used the simple argument that since you can't tell if the crashing
+program will halt, you have already proved you can't predict if every
+program will halt.

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?
+Impossible Shape
+That is Turing's argument in a nutshell. But if that was too large a
+step, let's take the argument a little more slowly and prove it a couple of
+different ways. First, we will use a proof by counterexample, known by
+mathematicians as an 'indirect proof. These may tax your brain. If you
+want a visual image to help with the idea of an indirect proof, take a look
+at the impossible shape. It is paradoxical, which means it does not exist.
+QED.
+The Proofs
+There are several ways to prove the non-existence of the Halting Program.
+I am going to present a few in the hope one of them will hit the mark and
+allow you to see why. The first proof uses a software flowchart. I have
+laid this out on the assumption the program exists and then attempted
+to apply it to itself. Unfortunately, the flowchart contains a paradox
+and thus there can be no Halting Program. The paradox is at once
+straightforward and confusing. It is a more elaborate version of the liar's
+paradox: "This sentence is a lie." If the sentence is true it must be false,
+and if the sentence is false then it must be true.
+The Halting Program
+Let us suppose there is a Halting Program. Remember that a Halting
+Program simply takes another program as input and predicts if it will
+halt or not. It follows there must also be a program called Halterash.
+Haltcrash goes into an infinite loop if it examines a program with input
+that halts, otherwise it halts itself.

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?
+Both analyses lead to a paradox! There is only one way out. There
+can be no halting procedure. I'm sorry if this is quite convoluted.
+Philosophical Proof
+If you find these technical proofs difficult to follow, it may be easier to
+examine the problem philosophically. Consider the consequence of
+the existence of a Halting procedure. A Universal Turing Machine is a
+relatively small program. Roger Penrose gives a three-page example in
+The Emperor's New Mind, and Stephen Wolfram has implemented one
+using a cellular automaton with as few as five component parts.
+A Halting Program running on such a machine should be able
+to compute all the knowledge in the Universe. Every structure, every
+work of literature, every galaxy could be the output of this single, simple
+program. My pocket calculator could, theoretically, paint like Picasso
+and compose like Mozart. All art, knowledge and science would be
+entirely determined in our Universe and we would have no free will. If
+you philosophically rebel against this then the Halting Problem must
+have no solution.
+Gödel's Insight
+Another way to understand this conundrum is through the earlier work
+of Gödel. Solutions to mathematical puzzles are neat, orderly sequences
+of statements where the problem is solved step by step. Computers are
+good at step by step processes. Surely a computer could simply proceed
+in a painstaking fashion to check all the possible combinations of words
+and symbols to discover a proof.
+An analogy might be trying to find your hotel room if you have
+forgotten the number. You could simply find it by trying every room.
+As you progressed through each floor, you would try every corridor
+and retrace your steps to the main hallway before attempting the next.
+Eventually you would succeed
+Finding proofs of theorems is often understood to be the same sort
+of task: search systematically through all the numbers and you will find
+the solution. But this is not so: There is a hidden problem.
+Although it is true to say problems and proofs can be described by
+numbers, they are not simply related like a lock and key. We need the
+first number to translate into a set of symbols meaning something about
+mathematics: for example, that x squared plus y squared equals z squared
+but for higher powers there is no equality, and the second number to

+denotes a set of sequential steps we can apply to demonstrate this fact.
+These steps must have meaning and obey the rules of mathematics, but
+what are these rules? Are they written down in a text book?
+It turns out there is no way to find this set of rules; it is a super-
+infinite task. We would need to reach into our infinite bag of numbers
+and pull out rule after rule, turning each into a mathematical model
+that explains numbers and logic and what can be done with them to
+form mathematical statements. The number of ways to do this is not just
+infinity, but two to the power of infinity. This is the number of ways to
+permute all possible mathematical rules.
+Your mind may be rebelling at this. Surely, if I have an infinite
+set of numbers I can just pluck all the numbers from my bag and then
+I am certain to have the solution. Unfortunately, it turns out there is
+no complete, consistent set of rules; no valid dictionary that maps all
+numbers to all of mathematics. That is Gödel incompleteness theorem.
+Despite a fundamental limit on mapping all numbers to all of
+mathematics, there might still have been an algorithm which could
+practically find solutions for a given arbitrary problem. Turing proved
+this is not the case.
+The Wiles Paradox
+Turing showed us there can be no general purpose, mechanical procedure
+capable of finding solutions to arbitrary problems. A computer program
+cannot discover mathematical theorems nor write programs to do so. Yet
+computers regularly solve problems and generate programs. That's what
+software compilers do. This seems to be contradiction.
+The solution to this apparent contradiction is to propose a boundary:
+a 'logic limit' above which computers may not solve problems. With a
+high boundary a general-purpose machine could solve most problems
+in the real world, though some esoteric mathematical puzzles would be
+beyond it. But if the boundary were low, many activities in our daily life
+would need some sort of alternative, creative thinking. It is crucial to
+know where the logic limit lies.
+The Logic Limit
+Amazingly, in many branches of science it is possible to pinpoint the exact
+location of the logic limit, but finding that boundary in mathematics has
+taken forty years work from some of the greatest mathematicians of the
+20* century.

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?
+The story starts back in the 1940s at Berkeley University with a
+young Julia Robinson, one of the first women to succeed in the previously
+male-dominated profession of mathematics. By all accounts, she had a
+wry sense of humor. When asked by her personnel department for a job
+description she replied: "Monday-tried to prove theorem, Tuesday-
+tried to prove theorem, Wednesday - tried to prove theorem, Thursday -
+tried to prove theorem, Friday —theorem false." Like Andrew Wiles, she
+fell in love with one of the great mathematical puzzles, and although she
+made great strides, the problem passed from her to Martin Davis for the
+next steps.
+The final elements were put in place in the 1970s with the work of
+another young mathematician, this time a Russian - Yuri Matiyasevich.
+Robinson wrote to him when she heard of his proof, "To think all I had
+to do was to wait for you to be born and grow up so I could fill in the
+missing piece." The complete result is the Robinson Davis Matiyasevich
+theory which sets out the limits of logic and algebra. What, you may ask,
+do we mean by logic and algebra?
+Mathematicians like to turn everything into logical statements, even
+ordering a round of drinks! The discipline of logic emerged from ancient
+Greece as the study of language. The starting point was the syllogism:
+Statements such as, "All cows eat grass." or Lewis Carroll's assertion,
+"There are no teachable gorillas." Over time the study of logic became
+ever more precise with, for example, the introduction of variables and
+equations; a=all cows, b=some grass. The formula "a eats b" translates by
+substitution into, "The cows eat the grass." This doesn't look much like a
+step forward but, trust me, it is.
+The modern way to represent logic is using prenex normal form.
+This mouthful simply means separating relationships between things
+from the things themselves. The following four statements say the same
+thing, each in a more formalized way.
+Speech: Harry loves Sally
+Logical: * loves y (substitute Harry for x and Sally for y)
+Formal: There exists an x, there exists a y (* loves y)
+Prenex: ]xJy (x Ry), Where R, the relationship, is 'loves'

+The final example is in prenex normal form. The symbol 'I' means
+'there exists' and R stands for relationship in this equation. All logical
+statements can be translated into this form using a purely mechanical
+process. There is even a website that will do this for you. It's useful but I
+don't recommend it as entertainment!
+In the example above, something exists in relation to the existence
+of something else: one person who loves another. Give me a name and I
+can look up the person they love. This is simple. A computer can easily
+solve such problems. Indeed there are hundreds of websites doing this
+every day. Once you've solved one problem of this type, you have solved
+them all.
+We can rearrange Diophantine equations into many different
+prenex forms. The simplest form might be, 'there exists an & which solves
+the following equation, & equals three? This would be written out as 7x,
+x=3 and is of the 7 class - 'there exists. There are slightly more complex
+classes than our simple 3 relationship: VIV 'for all, there exists for all' or
+the class VJV 'for all, for all, there exists, for all'. Each of these groups of
+equation is called a 'reduction class?
+One way to think about a reduction class is as a problem in topology,
+'knots, to non-mathematicians. Imagine someone handed you a bunch
+of tangled cables - the sort of mess you get when they are thrown
+haphazardly into a drawer. You can tease them apart and rearrange
+them but you must not cut them or break any connection. Once you
+have done this you will be left with a series of cables on the desk. They
+are all separate, looped or in someway knotted together. Each cable has
+a fundamental topological arrangement: straight cables, granny knots,
+figure eight, and so on. You have reduced them to their simplest form,
+their logical classes. The same goes for logical statements. Once you
+have rearranged logical statements into their simplest form you can lay
+them out and group them together according to their complexity. Each
+group makes up a reduction class and you can ask whether that class as a
+whole is automatically decidable. It is a huge task to untangle and classify
+mathematical problems, and it took Robinson and her colleagues nearly
+forty years to succeed.
+It turns out problems with a form as simple as VIV (for all,
+there exists, for all) have no general purpose algorithm. Each must be
+examined individually and solved by something that is not a computer.
+This is a remarkable result as the logic boundary is set quite low. An 33,
+(exists, exists), class of problem is automatically solvable by a general

+algorithm, but a VIV, (for all, there exists, for all), is not. Each individual
+type of problem within the class must be examined with insight and
+understanding.
+Our lives are full of problems - playing chess, finding a mate,
+designing space ships and simply getting to work in the morning.
+Imagine we expressed everyday problems as logical problems. Where is
+the logic limit for life? We have no answer for this yet, but we do know
+the logic limit for computing; it is given by Rice's Theorem.
+Named after Henry Rice, and proven in 1951 as part of his doctoral
+thesis at Syracuse University, Rice's Theorem states: "No nontrivial feature
+of a computer program can be automatically derived." You cannot tell if
+a program will halt with a given input. You cannot tell if one program
+will generate the same output as another. You cannot tell if a simpler
+program could be written to do the same task as a more complex one.
+In fact, no nontrivial thing can be proven. This means the logic limit in
+computers is low, and computer programmers have job security.
+For Programmers
+For the programmers amongst you, here are some of the things that
+cannot be done automatically even given infinite time:
+• Self-halting Problem. Given a program that takes one input,
+does it terminate when given itself as input?
+• Totality Problem. Given a program that takes one input, does it
+halt on all inputs?
+• Program Equivalence Problem. Given two programs that take
+one input each, do they produce the same result on every input?
+• Dead Code Elimination. Will a particular piece of code ever be
+executed?
+• Variable Initialization. Is a variable initialized before it is first
+referenced?
+• Memory Management. Will a variable ever be referenced again?

+Can humans solve 'unsolvable' problems?
+The question of whether Fermat's Last Theorem could be solved
+mechanically remained unanswered until 1970 when Yuri Matiyasevich
+filled in the missing piece in Julia Robinson's proof. Matiyasevich used
+an ingenious reduction method to match up sequences in Robinson's
+theorem with a set of Turing machines. This showed that if Robinson's
+theorem was false you could solve the halting problem and since you
+can't solve the halting problem, then Robinson's theorem must be true.
+All this effort proved Diophantine equations have no general algorithmic
+solution. This was a hugely important result but, as we noted earlier,
+Fermat's Last Theorem is not, strictly speaking, a Diophantine. It is an
+exponential Diophantine equation. We still had no definitive answer to
+Fermat.
+In 1972 Keijo Ruohonen and again in 1993, Christoph Baxa
+demonstrated that Diophantine equations with exponential terms could
+be rewritten as regular Diophantine equations with one additional
+complication - the necessity of adding an infinite set of terms to the end
+of the equation. In 1993, J.P. Jones of the University of Calgary showed the
+logic limit for regular Diophantine equations lies at thirteen unknowns.
+Matiyasevich had already pointed this out but never completed his proof.
+Since infinity is greater than thirteen, all exponential Diophantine
+equations are above the logic limit and, therefore, undecidable. Finally,
+we have a proof that Fermat's Last Theorem is unsolvable by a computer
+- or at least by a general purpose algorithm running on a computer.
+Matiyasevich went on to show many mathematical problems can be
+rewritten as exponential Diophantine equations and that much of
+mathematics is undecidable. For example, the Four Color Conjecture:
+"Given an arbitrary map on a Euclidean plane, show the map can
+be colored in a maximum of four colors such that no adjacent area
+shares the same color."
+Meanwhile, Andrew Wiles, an English mathematics Professor at
+Princeton had been secretly working on Fermat's Last Theorem. When
+I say secretly, he had not told anyone in his department, and only told
+his wife late in 1993 when he suspected he might have a solution. He
+had been working on the problem a long time, having fallen in love with
+it at the age of 8! In 1995, after nearly 30 years work, he announced he

+after first announcing that he had solved Ferma's Last Theorem he could

+The Special Purpose Objection
+Before I declare mankind's outright victory over computers, the Special
+Purpose Objection must be overcome. The objectors would argue that
+Wiles is a Special Purpose computer. Special Purpose computers are at
+no risk of breaking the Turing limit when they solve problems they have
+Theorem (Undecidability of Hilbert's tenth problem)
+There is no algorithm which, for a given arbitrary Diophantine
+equation, would tell whether the equation has a solution or not.
+been programmed to answer. The objection misses the key point. I am
+not arguing having a solution to a given mathematical puzzle presents a
+difficulty to a computer; I am arguing a computer cannot discover one.
+Take, for example, the search engine Google. If I type "where can
+I find the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem?" into the search box, it will
+retrieve a PDF of the proof as the third result. It appears this special
+purpose computer solved the problem. But you immediately see the
+difficulty. Google search already knew the answer, or more precisely had
+indexed the answer. The computer was not tackling a random problem
+from scratch. It was tackling a problem for which it knew the answer, or
+at least where an answer could be found. There is no sense in which the
+search engine discovered the proof.
+To really understand this objection we need to examine exactly
+what Turing and Matiyasevich proved.
+An arbitrary problem is one you do not already know the solution
+to when you write the algorithm. You can think of it as a variable. Is
+there an algorithm that can solve problem 'X'? The alternative is a special
+program. It can solve problem Y. Y is a problem it knows. It must have
+the solution coded somewhere within it in a computably expandable way.
+You might think of this as a table of constants; problem Y has solution
+1, problem Z has solution 2, and so on. But it could be more subtle than
+that. Problem Y might have a solution which is encrypted so you cannot
+recognize it within the program, or it might even be the result of some

+chaotic equation so complex that the only way to see it is to run the
+program and watch the output: no form of program analysis will give
+you any clue as to what it produces. There is only one stipulation. The
+answer to problem Y MUST be held within the program as a computable
+algorithm. Put another way, the computer must already be 'programmed'
+to answer the question.
+Could a human mathematician be pre-programmed from birth?
+Yes, there is no fundamental objection to this. Mathematicians could be
+born to solve the problems they solve. But this would present a couple of
+issues. Where is this program stored? And who, or what, programmed
+the mathematician? Could we perhaps find an experiment to determine
+whether mathematicians are pre-programmed?
+One view held by philosophers is that the Universe programmed
+the mathematician. They believe we live in an entirely determined
+Universe with no free will. There is then no mystery as to how Andrew
+Wiles came up with his proof. He was destined to do it from the dawn of
+time. The ink that fell from his pen to the paper was always going to fall
+in just that way. We live in a clockwork Universe and although we might
+feel we have free will, this is an illusion. I simply don't believe this. If I
+am right and humans do exercise free will, Andrew Wiles cannot be a
+computer. And because Andrew is not alone in discovering proofs, those
+mathematicians cannot be computers either. Humans are, therefore, not
+computers.
+The Chance Objection
+I said there was no automatic way to solve any problem above the
+logic limit, but this is not quite true. There is one automatic method
+you could deploy to generate a non-computable proof, the infamous
+'monkeys and typewriters' idea where we use random chance to generate
+information. Many people have suggested it is possible to write a play
+such as Shakespeares Hamlet by simply typing random characters until
+we happened upon the play. The argument is flawed.
+The first flaw is the process would take a super-astronomically
+long time. Even if every atom in the Universe were a monkey with a
+typewriter, it would take orders of magnitude longer than the age of the
+known Universe to come up with the script to a play or a mathematical
+proof.
+The probability of finding a solution to Fermat's Last Theorem
+by chance is about 1 in 1050,000. That's 1 with 50,000 zeros after it. For a
+comparison, there are only 10120 atoms in the known Universe. To be, or

+long enough to calculate all the possible proofs up to the length of Wiles

+Consequences

+- logic limit? It seems we do. People appear creative - painting,
+composing, sculpting and so forth. But, are these endeavors creative
+in the mathematical sense. To prove this, ironically we need to find
+something outside mathematics that is definitely non-computable. This
+is tricky. Most artistic things are fuzzily defined and there are no written
+rules we can apply. How can we prove a work of art could not have been
+generated by a computer?
+Trivial proofs exist but they are rather contrived. For example, it
+would not be possible to make a film with a solution to the still unproven
+Riemann Hypothesis on the blackboard in the background of a movie
+scene. All the mathematics Good Will Hunting had been already
+discovered before the movie was made. New mathematics cannot be
+accidentally generated by a set designer - unless, of course, they also
+happened to be a world class mathematician.
+These trivial proofs might lead a mathematician to argue the theory
+is proven. There are some artworks which cannot be computed. QED. But
+these are not very satisfactory proofs. I could create almost any movie I
+wanted without tripping over this rule. What I really wanted to know is

+this argument, but music is much easier to analyze. It is linear, highly
+mathematical and largely uniform by culture and language. Yet it is
+universally appreciated. Is music a computational or a creative endeavor?
+Is Music Computable
+To prove a piece of music is non-computable requires two tests. First to
+show we can 'reduce it to a problem that is already non-computable and,
+second, to demonstrate it 'looks like' or 'sounds like' a piece of music. An
+accountant would say it needs to pass 'the smell test?.
+The first non-computable problem to be studied in depth was
+Emil Post's Word Problem. Post was a contemporary of Alan Turing
+and studied at the Institute of Advanced Mathematics in Princeton. He
+solved the Halting Problem six months before Turing, but his proof used
+a complex recursive method called the lambda calculus. Turing's method
+was far more practical, which is why we now refer to Turing machines
+rather than Post machines. Later in his career, Post came up with a
+branch of non-computable mathematics called 'Post Problems. They
+look like a puzzle you might find in a newspaper. Imagine starting with
+the word 'camel' and being asked to turn it into aardvark, using only a
+few simple rules. We'll make the problem very easy to start with: cam
+‹› aard and el ‹ ›vark. This solution is obvious; just do the substitutions
+and you are there. But what if the rules were a little more complex?
+Gennadií Makanin, a Russian mathematician based at the University of
+Moscow, found a set of extremely simple puzzles that are nevertheless
+non-computable. Here is one:
+{"CCBB" «> "BBCC", "BCCCBB" <›
+"CBBBCC", "ACCBB" «> "BBA", "ABCCCBB"
+«> "CBBA", "BBCCBBBBCC" ‹>
+"BBCCBBBBCCA"}
+Word Problem
+Can a computer tell us which word problems have a solution and
+which do not? The answer is 'no? Word substitution puzzles are a class
+of non-computable problem. Martin Davis proved this in 1948. Using
+a reduction argument we can use these word problems to prove some
+music is also non-computable.

+Let us start by substituting the notes of the musical scale for the
+letters of the alphabet to create a piece of 'music? Since it is a direct
+analogue of the word problem, we have created a non-computable piece
+of music. It is definitely non-computable, but is it music? If it just looked
+like a random jumble of notes it would be unconvincing, but luckily there
+are many forms of music that look exactly like a word substitution puzzle.
+Bach's Art of Fugue, the canons of Tudor composers such as William Byrd
+and Thomas Tallis, and the works of Grieg all use sequences of chords
+that move from one to the next using substitution rules. If you were to

+But
+is any actual human composition non-computable?
+Unfortunately, we cannot prove whether a particular piece of Bach, Tallis
+or Grieg is non-computable because we don't know the specific rules
+used to compose it. All we know are the general musical principles of
+harmony and counterpoint that applied at the time. We don't have these

+write out the symbols in a table and assign a musical note to each. It is
+straightforward to put these notes into a synthesizer and play the piece
+of music. I have provided a link to such a piece. Warning: once you listen
+to this you will have been 'creatively inoculated'.
+This resulting piece of music, based on the transliteration of a proof,
+is non-computable. You might immediately argue with this, "The piece
+of music was translated from proof text to music file using a computer. It
+is clearly computed.", but this is not my point. The music could not have
+come into existence in our Universe as a result of a computation. It is a
+computable translation of a non-computable string. It could not have
+been generated solely by a computer: It was done in two steps, the first of
+which could not have been computed.
+If, up to this time, our Universe has never contained a piece of
+music that was generated non-computationally, it does now. If you listen
+to this piece, you will find it impossible not to be somewhat inspired by
+it. You cannot erase the experience from your memory. And once you
+have heard it you will have been creatively inoculated. I have defeated
+Daniel Dennett and his like, and given you creative freedom!
+www.jamestagg.com/noncompmusic
+Having made at least some music above the Turing limit I could
+declare victory but I want to go further. Using the same reduction method,
+I believe we can show all art is above the limit. First let's attempt novels
+and plays. Do you enjoy those crime novels by Agatha Christie and Colin
+Dexter? It must be possible to construct a plot sufficiently complex, and
+a murder sufficiently baffling that it exceeds the logic limit. I could keep
+extending this idea to provide any number of examples and, therefore,
+prove all art and creative output is above the logic limit.
+There are many other arts we could apply this argument too. In
+the visual domain there are non-computable images. In principle, it is
+possible, to draw or paint things beyond the capability of a computer.
+Roger Penrose has created non-computable visual puzzles such as tiling
+an infinite plain with special jigsaw pieces. Creating an image containing
+a solution to his visual puzzle is non-computable.
+This extension argument also applies to me. There is an argument
+that I am a finite being and therefore can be simulated by a computer.
+Since I can be simulated by a computer, I am the same as a computer
+and therefore incapable of non-computable thought. The argument is as
+follows: James Tagg will have during his life a finite number of inputs and,
+equally, a finite set of outputs. This means you could model me using a

+the possible outputs I would make and this would be a perfect facsimile
+of me. A number of people have posed this as an argument to refute
+Roger Penroses assertion that humans are capable of non-computable
+thought.
+But this analysis misses a key point. There is no way to calculate all
+the contents of this table. My past could be tabulated. It is the history of
+all the things I ever did, but my future cannot. I might yet discover some
+great theorem that could not be computably generated. This would be
+a part of my output which could not be generated by an algorithm or

+person such as Andrew Wiles could be simulated in advance, we would

+it. Find another, create a work-around, and so on. By doing this, we are
+effectively mechanically generalizing our solution. This is forbidden as
+it breaks the Turing limit, so we can't mechanically solve a general logic
+problem above the logic limit. We need instead to use intuitive or creative
+thought. In our panic we did not stop, take a step back and engage our
+brain. Instead, we attempted, unsuccessfully, to blindly hack our way
+through the problem.
+If we eventually succeeded in perfecting the code this way, we
+would have broken a fundamental law of the Universe. Something nasty
+would have to happen to prevent it, such as rupturing the space-time
+continuum or an event equally horrible! Luckily something prevents this
+and keeps our Universe intact - BUGS! Bugs stop us breaking Turing's
+limit.
+The next time you curse a bug, remember if they didn't exist you'd be
+in danger of causing a logical paradox. There is no problem in redefining
+the domain and then creatively producing an all-encompassing design,
+but, you can't patch and hack your way there. This theory of bugs leads to
+an explanation for some modern programming rules of thumb.
+Written specifications are valuable because they force you to lay out
+the whole problem. You don't need to be detailed regarding the depth,
+but should be expansive about the breadth, covering all the logical
+complexity. This might result in many details as a by-product, but a
+specification needs to delineate the edges of the problem space and not
+simply focus on a few key points.
+Writing the tests for the software in advance is helpful as it is likely
+to tell you early whether your design encompasses the whole problem
+space.
+Also, building a prototype, throwing it away, and then building the
+real thing can help greatly. It may be the only way to examine the edges
+of the problem space in detail. Armed with a full understanding, you
+can then imagine solutions to the complete problem in a single creative
+sitting. Whatever techniques you use to improve the quality of your
+software, remember you are engaged in a creative process that is not,
+itself, open to automation.
+The Art of Programming
+Programming is an art: a creative endeavor. It is also, of course, highly
+scientific. When you work with a good programmer - and I have been
+fortunate to work with some of the best in the world - they all follow
+a similar process. First they talk with you at length about your needs

+This fundamental misconception of software is common in many
+organizations. "Ah," says the finance director, "T'll write a very detailed
+spec and then we can get someone cheap to just program it." This does
+not work. If the finance director has done the creative work of taking a
+problem and turning it into a detailed specification for the programmer
+to 'just program' - removing any ambiguity and therefore the creative
+overhead - he will have all but written software himself, albeit in
+a computer language of his own making. On the other hand, if the
+specification is a linear list of issues with no creative thought, he will not
+have reduced the time needed to program. He may have improved the

+will need to unload this person of ALL interruptions and administrative
+burdens. This is the most effective way to solve a creative programming
+task. Practically, once your task is over the limit for a single human, a
+software project must be split up. This requires great care. Dividing a
+problem efficiently means specifying the interfaces between them and
+decoupling the components. This is the art of an architect or a producer
+in the creative arts. The creative process operates similarly in other walks
+of life. There are many examples of successful creative duos - Rogers
+and Hammerstein (The Sound of Music), Ben Elton and Richard Curtis
+(Blackadder).
+Good managers, therefore, find ways to break projects into
+manageable sub-projects that can be worked by pairs or rely on single
+super-programmers with support around them. If you are lucky enough
+to gather together a group of super-programmers and can divide a
+problem efficiently amongst them, you can achieve great things. You
+see this pipeline in movie production. A script writer generates a script
+creatively. The casting director finds the actors, a director is in charge of
+filming, and an editor puts it together. In very great movies you will often
+find a great director or producer who had a hand in almost everything
+holding it all together. They are often accused of micro-managing but
+you can see that's what they must do. They are the super-programmer
+with the whole creative work in their head, and an eye on the audience
+and financial backers.
+If you talk with great programmers you will be amazed by their
+breadth of technical, commercial and product knowledge. Why do they
+need all this commercial information to do their job in the round?
+Rules and Tips
+I began writing some rules on how to split up a project, and almost
+immediately ran into exceptions and special cases. The job of dividing
+things into sub-tasks is, itself, a creative problem and must not be done
+mechanically. Any 'one size fits all' rule will fail and you must apply
+domain knowledge and careful thought to the process.
+It is the job of architects or a senior engineer to split projects into
+smaller chunks. To do this they must accurately 'guess' boundaries
+between subtasks to create self-contained, creatively solvable problems.
+This can be done by either vertical or horizontal abstraction. Both have
+their problems.

+Horizontal abstraction is the simpler of the two to understand,
+and the more common. Computer systems are built 'on the shoulders of
+giants. That is to say we no longer need to place individual pixels onto
+the computer screen. We can assume a computer will draw a square if we
+specify the dimension and coordinates of the center. That's abstraction.
+Today's computers are even more helpful. We can ask them to draw a
+rotating cube lit from a certain angle and the computer will do the whole
+job for us. But, there are always practical limitations to this.
+I want my cubes to move around the screen naturally but I am not

+through they pass through each other in a very odd way, breaking up
+and showing me they are really made of triangles, the illusion of three

+The problem is that the TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is
+designed to provide reliable delivery of information: internet pages,
+my bank account and the like. But, the internet protocol 'IP' on which
+it relies is only designed for best-efforts. When a link loses a packet of
+information, the TCP has to retransmit it. This takes additional time. TCP
+provides an abstraction of a reliable connection, but the implementation
+is not as robust as it may seem, and the details leak through as variable
+latency and throughput. This explains why your web pages sometimes
+do not completely render. You are told it is reliable, but often it is not!
+Experience is so valuable to a programmer because they know which of
+these specifications to take with a pinch of salt and when they are likely
+to leak. They are battle scarred by previous naivety.
+I think Spolsky's Law follows from Rice's Theorem and ultimately
+from Turing's no halting proof. If leak-less abstraction was possible you
+could, in principle, write a recursive partial halting solution. By layering
+abstraction on top of abstraction you would be able to solve some very
+complex problems, eventually including the Halting Problem. We know
+this is impossible, so non-leaky abstraction cannot exist.
+The other method of splitting software is vertically. This is often
+done following the natural boundaries of an organization: functional or
+geographic. Again there will be leakage between the systems; the data
+you get from the finance department might not be detailed enough for

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?
+The Role of 'Process' in Creativity
+We hear a lot about 'process' when developing software and other
+creative tasks. The first thing to realize is process does not write software
+and every moment spent on process is a moment not writing software.
+Excessive process can bring the productivity of the average programmer
+down from a thousand lines per day to one. On the other hand, we all
+know that using no process to write software results in useless software.
+Good solo programmers, playwrights or composers are surrounded by
+lists and post-it notes full of process. Where is the balance to be struck?
+In my view 1
+'process' is there to help humans with the tasks we find
+naturally difficult. Humans, as we know, are dreadful at remembering
+lists of symbolic information. Give a human ten numbers to memorize
+and they will quickly forget them. Give Microsoft Excel ten numbers and
+it will remember them forever, or, at least, until your next upgrade! So
+the first job of process is to collect lists of things and sometimes even lists
+of those lists.
+Another significant affliction affecting humans is procrastination.
+We tend to put off decisions. Process can set waypoints; when will the
+job of splitting a project occur, when will we begin the test, and so on.
+The third job of process is to keep track of the division of labor - if
+the project has to be divided. Who will do what? Essentially we are back
+to lists again.
+The most important job of process, in my view, is to keep track
+of scope. 'Logical scope creep' when unrecognized destroys software
+projects. Scope creep is fine if it just adds more linear work. "Could we
+add three more product types?" "Could you do another language?" "Can
+you make this interface prettier, less cluttered?" It may cause a busy team
+to groan, but it does not damage the integrity of the design. To put it back
+in Brooks' language, accidental creep is fine - provided you add some
+resource. Essential creep is not. Adding the french language prompts to
+a project in English might be fine, putting language translation into a
+project may be a step too far. The project may have strayed into a different
+logical class. Increases in logical scope often require redesign, you must
+stop and re-architect if you are to avoid bugs in plague like quantities.
+If programming software is a creative task, how can we help improve
+productivity? The most important factor is to provide uninterrupted
+peace and quiet. Programming is a task where people need to hold many
+ideas in their head at the same time, and this requires deep concentration.
+To get some idea of the creative process at work, listen to the excellent
+TED lecture by John Cleese.

+A common and costly mistake is to put off thinking about a class of
+things you are going to need in the next release because of time pressure.
+'Time out, that's for the next release and similar statements spell disaster
+for the future of a project as when you come to the next release, you may
+have to rewrite much of it from scratch. This is why good architects are
+so valuable. They anticipate the future even when they are told to ignore
+it and ship now!
+Just as there are artistic geniuses, there are programming geniuses.
+Hold onto them if you get one. They are rare. We don't know if they
+can be made or they are lucky accidents, but statistics shows that some
+people are 1000 times more productive at writing code than the average.
+If you can find lots of them and make them work together you will build
+the next Google or Facebook. If you have a tight deadline, a super-
+programmer may get you out of a hole, producing in a week what might
+otherwise take a year. Remember your great programmers will most
+prolific if you can get process and distraction out of their way. Just make
+sure they have a clear idea of purpose.
+Laws
+A programmer interrupted eight times a day does no work.
+A creative person interrupted eight times a day does no work.
+Programming is a creative endeavor.
+There are creative geniuses. Hold onto them.
+Bugs save us from collapsing space-time when we are lazy and try
+to use mechanical means rather than creative thought to write software.

+f you believe humans outthink computers, be warned; you are in
+scientists speak of these in the same breath as perpetual motion
+machines.
+I'm not sure it's an entirely fair analogy. We understand machines,
+and the physical laws of our Universe forbid perpetual motion. We
+don't understand brains, so we can't reasonably dismiss human hyper-
+computing. Humans commonly demonstrate one clear example of
+thinking which appears to break the Turing limit, namely finding
+solutions to mathematical puzzles. We need an explanation for this.
+Let me take you on a whistle-stop tour of all the schemes people have
+imagined that might lead to a hyper-computer.
+A hyper-computer is a machine that can calculate a function which
+a Turing machine can not. For example, when given a number denoting
+a problem such as Fermat's Last Theorem, it can give me in return a
+number representing a valid proof. We are not concerned here with
+speed. We are talking about fundamental 'do-ability. Such machines are
+often dubbed 'super-Turing.
+Epic Fails
+Let us first look at some proposals that blatantly fail. My children call
+these 'epic fails, and they are the perpetual motion machines of the
+hyper-computing world.
+Could we run many Turing machines at the same time, perhaps
+even an infinite number? Then we would have a much more powerful
+machine that must beat the Turing limit.
+The answer is no.
+Turing machines are already infinitely powerful and we know from
+our chapter on infinity that all countable infinities are the same. Infinity
+plus infinity, infinity times infinity, infinity to any power; all are equal.
+One single, fast, one-dimensional machine can simulate them all. We get
+no greater power with an infinite number of similar machines.
+The next technique which might realize a hyper-computer is to
+have a machine which simultaneously runs every possible branch in a
+program. Each time the machine gets to a point where there is a binary
+decision, it can take the 'yes' branch, spawn a copy of itself, and run the
+'no' branch as well. Logically this machine should be able to calculate
+anything since it tries every conceivable option. The process is called
+non-determinism. This doesn't mean the computer has free will. It just
+means the computer never chooses one option over another. It just

+assumes each could be correct and travels down both. Solving a problem
+using a machine like this can be fast. The problem is this machine has
+no greater power than a regular Turing machine. Let me show you why.
+A non-deterministic machine is essentially the same as a single
+Turing machine; each time there is a branch in the program you would
+start running two processes. The first process works on every even tick
+of the computer clock and the other on every odd tick. Now we have a
+single machine running two branches at the same time. Using this trick
+over and over again, a single machine can run a program exploring every
+possible branch. Although it generates an enormous number of branches
+and takes a huge time to run, it is still a single machine and we have an
+infinity of time on our hands. Therefore, the machine is limited as before.
+We are not doing well so far and we have already exhausted an
+infinite number of options! Let's try a different tack. We know true
+randomness is non-computable, the sort of randomness generated by
+the Lavarand we examined earlier in the book. Might this help? Truly
+random processes can't be simulated by a computer. If we throw this into
+the pot might it let us compute something a Turing machine cannot?
+Again, no.
+This idea still only generates a machine as powerful as the non-
+deterministic machine above. A non-deterministic Turing machine runs
+every possible program. All a random one does is choose some of the
+same paths at random. It, therefore, can't be any more powerful. The one
+difference is that it can generate non-computable numbers. However, the
+only interesting characteristic of these numbers is they are truly random
+and this randomness was an input. Their presence does not make the
+machine any more powerful.
+there are quite a few proposals for hyper-computers that are just
+cleverly dressed up versions of the machines we have already met and
+dismissed. For example, it has been proposed the Internet could form
+a super-Turing machine. This is known as a site machine because the
+processing is distributed across many sites linked together through the
+Internet. It is proposed each site could act as an oracle to the others. This
+is quite an elegant idea, and some proofs have been offered that show
+such a machine is capable of generating non-computable functions. The
+problem with this idea is that you can simply draw an imaginary line
+around the whole site machine and it looks exactly like a big Turing
+machine. There is no conceptual difference between such a machine
+and a regular computer with subroutines. After all, that's in Turing's

+original proof. Again we have reached a dead end. We need something
+qualitatively different to a traditional computer in order to break the
+Turing limit. The obvious place to turn is the quantum world.
+Quantum Computers
+Quantum computers have had an extraordinary run in the press recently.
+It has been variously claimed they offer limitless computing power and
+can break all known security schemes; cracking, for example, the prime
+factors that form the basis of public key cryptography. This is big news.
+These codes are used to protect all the financial transactions we make on
+the web.
+In a regular computer, bits of information are processed by switches
+that make simple 'yes' or 'no' decisions. In a quantum computer each
+switch can take both the yes and no branches, at least for a short time called
+the decoherence interval. The calculations are said to be superposed.
+This allows a quantum computer to calculate exponentially, rather than
+linearly, as the number of logic gates increases. Grover's algorithm and
+Shor's algorithm use this superposition to speed up factoring numbers
+and looking things up in databases, respectively.
+Grover's algorithm gives us the ability to find something stored in a
+random place without having to look in every box. If you think about a
+standard search, say for your lost car keys, you must look everywhere to
+guarantee finding them. It does not much matter in what order you do it.
+When you are halfway through the search, you will be 50% likely to have
+found your keys. But, with a quantum computer, you can be fuzzy and
+look in many places at once. A quarter of the way through a quantum
+search, you are 50% likely to have found your keys. That might sound
+like a small improvement, but when working with very big numbers, it
+makes an enormous difference.
+Shor's algorithm works a little differently and, yes, it does allow
+a quantum computer to break Internet encryption, so the newspaper
+headlines are true up to a point. Some time in the future we will need to

+calculation can be the limiting factor. A quantum computer is very space
+efficient. When the computer branches and makes a copy of itself, it does
+so without needing more space. There are two theories for how it does
+this, (well, three, but the third is highly controversial). The first theory is
+the computer doesn't need the space because it hasn't made its mind up
+yet; somehow the calculation floats in an undecided state. The second is
+that the computer puts a copy of itself in a parallel Universe each time it
+branches. When the calculation is over, either all the Universes collapse
+to a decision, or every possibility is chosen in some Universe or other and
+they all go on their merry way! This is the 'many-worlds' interpretation
+of quantum mechanics and we will return to it later in the book.
+We have now explored all the straightforward ways to make a hyper-
+computer, and all have failed. We need something still more exotic.
+More Horse Power Needed
+Is there anything more powerful than a Turing machine?
+Yes, in theory, there is.
+The first person to explore ways of breaking the Turing limit was
+Turing himself. He cut right through the problem by proposing the
+existence of an oracle function. At any point in a computation, you could
+ask this function a question and it would give you the right answer.
+We must leave completely aside the question of how this wonderful
+oracle function is constructed. All we know is it can't be a machine. If it
+really existed, a Turing machine that was able to consult it would be able
+to answering any question you put to it. That is a hyper-computer.
+Unfortunately having access to such an oracle does not get us far.
+We can use it to compute numbers we could not otherwise have obtained
+- or answer a single question - but it does not give us a general-purpose
+way to solve further problems outside of the logical area we asked it to
+answer.
+Each time the oracle answers a question we break the limit a tiny
+bit. Each question and each answer moves us forward, but does not give
+us something universally applicable. If I ask the oracle to prove Fermat's
+Last Theorem it will give me that answer, but this does not turn me into
+a creative mathematician, able to prove any other theory. You can test
+this by typing a mathematical question into the Google search box. Does
+obtaining an answer make you better at mathematics?
+In any case, an oracle is not and cannot be a machine, so it does not
+lead us any further in our quest to build something super-Turing.

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?
+David Malament and Mark Hogarth of the University of California,
+Irvine have proposed a form of space-time called the Kerr Metric. This
+allows a machine to break the Turing limit, but has the drawback that as
+it does so it falls through the event horizon and is sucked into the black
+hole. We might discover new information but are now trapped inside the
+event horizon unable to communicate it - a form of cosmic censorship.
+Candidates for a hyper-computer that could fit inside a human
+brain include mathematical curiosities which stretch the concept
+of infinity. The easiest to understand is the Zeno machine. In a Zeno
+machine a computer runs each successive step of a calculation in half the
+time of the previous step. The computer can pack an infinite quantity of
+computation into each finite time interval and can therefore outperform
+a Turing machine. This theory fails at a practical level because we simply
+can't build such a machine.
+There are numerous weird suggestions for mathematical super-
+Turing machines, and many are described on the Internet. They all fit
+broadly within the two models above: modifications to space-time or
+peculiar mathematical paradoxes. The inspiration for the true solution
+to super-Turing thought may lay in there somewhere, but there are some
+more plausible proposals to look at next.
+Plausible Ideas
+I have characterized the next set of ideas as plausible, but they may still
+be highly controversial. My only criteria for plausibility are that the
+mechanism must outperform a machine limited to counting numbers,
+and it might fit inside our skulls. No black holes allowed.
+One interesting proposal for a super-Turing machine that could
+fit inside our skulls is the Adaptive Recurrent Neural Network, 'ARNN'
+proposed by Hava Siegelmann of the University of Massachusetts,
+Amherst. An ARNN is a neural network with real number weights. As
+you recall, real numbers are equivalent to the continuum infinity, a larger
+infinity than that of counting numbers.
+This is the infinity that defeats a Turing machine, and Siegelmann
+harnesses it as the basis of her computing machine. She argues that,
+although the machine cannot be programmed as it is impossible to write
+real numbers down, once it is running, the weights diverge and real
+numbers will be used within the network. These real numbers allow the
+machine to compute using numbers that are not, themselves, computable

+and this is where the machines greater power comes from. Of course
+such a thing might easily fit inside our skulls, and the physics within our
+brains are certainly capable of using real analogue values.
+The biggest stumbling block for Siegelmann's idea is the information
+that gives her machines their power is fine-grained and easily destroyed by
+noise in the environment. This is not just from the sort of electrical noise
+we hear when our cell phones interfere with the radio, but the precision
+required by her machines is so exacting that anything might interfere
+with them. For example, gravitational waves caused by the motions of
+nearby stars would disturb calculations at only the fiftieth decimal place.
+Since it is these digits that constitute the difference between an ARNN
+and a regular Turing machine, most people conclude ARNNs can't work.
+There is one effect stemming from the quantum world which might
+come to the rescue. The potential to do something in the quantum world
+is sufficient to modify the behavior of a system even if the system does
+not actually do that specific thing. This is called a counterfactual process.
+The possibility an ARNN might perform infinite precision calculations
+may be enough to give the machine the edge, even though in practice it is
+disturbed by noise. This is speculation upon speculation, but interesting
+nevertheless.

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?
+Roger Penrose is fascinated by such counterfactual experiments
+and is inspired to think such effects might have a role in non-computable
+thought. It is his machines' we will look at next.
+Penrose-Hameroff Machines, aka Brains
+Roger Penrose of Oxford University and Stuart Hameroff of the
+University of Arizona have proposed a very different way to understand
+the workings of the brain. They focus on the much smaller scale structures
+within neurons called tubulin microtubules. If you watch a brain form,
+the dendrites grow towards each other, twisting and turning rather like
+the growth of a plant as viewed in a slow motion nature film. This motion
+is controlled by micro-tubular structures formed of a protein called
+tubulin. Tubulin is made from peanut-shaped polar molecules that self-
+assemble into helical tubes with a radius of just seven molecules. The
+tubes bundle together to form the backbone of neurons. The peanut-
+shaped molecules are bipolar switches and can flip between two states.
+This allows them to bend into different shapes and, in the most extreme
+example, to flap fast enough to propel small organisms such as paramecia.
+It is also, interestingly, the protein that unzips the double helix when a
+cell divides, and so plays a fundamental role in our evolution.
+Penrose and Hameroff suggest these tubes form the true processing
+element in our brains. The walls of the tubes are formed of successive
+alpha and beta tubulin molecules. Each of the tubulin molecules can
+flip between two states, propagating a ripple along the tube wall. The
+scale is small enough for quantum effects to matter, and Hameroff
+suggests quantum error correction keeps the ripples from decohering
+too fast. Because the processing is happening at a molecular level
+rather than at the scale of a neuron, the brain would be considerably
+more powerful than a count of its neurons would suggest. They propose
+increased computing power would stem from three sources: There are
+many more tubulin molecules than neurons; the micro-tubes could
+perform quantum computation, and the micro-tubes are capable of non-
+computable, conscious, thought.
+Measurement of a quantum process is the only candidate we
+have for a non-deterministic physical process today; all other physical
+processes are deterministic. Penrose argues that quantum processing
+in the brain spontaneously collapses in decision making because of
+the interaction between quantum superposition and gravity. The
+arguments are put forward in two books: The Emperor's New Mind and
+Shadows of the Mind. This theory remains controversial for two main

+reasons. First, most people see no need for super-Turing thought. They
+believe computers are sufficient. Second, they believe the brain is not a
+hospitable place for quantum effects: it is too hot and too chaotic. Indeed,
+until recently people assumed quantum effects would have no place in
+biological entities, but this orthodoxy has recently been overthrown by
+the discovery of quantum processes in photosynthesis. The paper by
+Travis Craddock of Nova and others suggests there may also be quantum
+structures in the neurons of our brains and we might possess quantum

+to explore the ways in which human face-to-face communication might
+exceed this traditional classical model. Let us look first at the bandwidth
+of communication between people.
+Bandwidth
+Let me give you a mental picture for what I mean by bandwidth. Imagine
+I am sitting in a darkened theatre enjoying one of my favorite comedians
+at the Edinburgh Festival - the biggest arts festival in the world. I phone
+a friend who is also a fan and let them listen in. Perhaps I even use the
+camera and surreptitiously point the phone at the comedian. My live
+experience is digitized, compressed and transmitted over the mobile
+network to my friend. He gets the same experience but at much-reduced
+bandwidth.
+My friend has a similar but qualitatively different experience to
+mine. He cannot hear the degrees of loud and soft I hear, nor the full
+range of high and low frequencies forming the timbre of the comedian's
+voice; no sense of the smell of old armchairs or the heat of the audience
+around me. He is spared the strange stickiness my shoes meet on the
+floor of the auditorium and the occasional slosh of beer that hits me
+from a slightly inebriated neighbor. For the person at the other end of the
+phone, their view is of a tiny two-dimensional screen about 4 by 3 inches
+square. Of course, they can enlarge the picture, but then the pixilation
+dominates and it looks like an impressionist picture viewed close up. He
+has nothing like the same intensity of experience. Loss of bandwidth is
+something we can study mathematically and the reduction is enormous.
+Video and Audio
+The image of the comedy show is digitized by the camera and
+microphone; the video at 384,000 bits per second and the audio at 64,000
+bps. Mathematical compression will be applied and the video will shrink
+to 30,000 while the audio drops down to 4,700. After compression, the
+whole experience amounts to around 40,000 bits per second. To put it in
+some perspective, a DVD would be 11.5 million bits per second, nearly
+300 times the bandwidth.

+My in-person experience has much higher bandwidth than even
+a DVD. It may even have infinite bandwidth. Physicists argue whether
+space-time is quantized but, for now, we will look at what would be
+needed to reproduce the experience faithfully on modern digital
+recording equipment.
+Digitization
+When something is converted to digital form, it goes through a number
+of steps. First, some way must be found to chop the thing into small parts
+in space and time. Then each of these parts is sampled with a sensor to
+give an electrical signal and, finally, this signal is measured and turned
+into a number.
+Old microphones used carbon granules. As the sound waves passed
+through them, the granules were shaken and made better contact with
+each other. Connecting a battery across the granules gave a varying
+voltage. Modern microphones use a variety of technologies. The
+preference of most recording artists today is the electret microphone.
+A coil moves inside a magnet generating a varying voltage which is
+translated into a voltage as before.
+Next we use a fast running clock and measure the voltage on each
+tick giving us a sequence of numbers. We have created a near perfect
+record of the sound, and we can prove this by recreating the sound
+through a loudspeaker. This is what happens every time you listen to
+your iPod.
+To digitize film, each frame must be split in space as well as time.
+On each tick of the clock, a process scans left to right and top to bottom
+to form a one-dimensional stream of numbers that records the image.
+The system cuts the picture up into little elements called pixels, standing
+for picture elements. Each small square has its average color measured
+for red, green, and blue content coded as a number.
+Digitization techniques have become the dominant way electronics
+work in the home, and digitization circuits are now ubiquitous.
+Reality
+How big is reality? Setting aside for a moment the problem that it might
+be infinite, we need to reproduce all the elements that go to make it up.
+A normal DVD has an image of 720 by 576 pixels with 16 bits of
+color depth and a frame rate of 25 frames per second. The eye, however,
+is considerably better than this and a DVD does not fool it. HD video

+is 1900 by 1000 pixels with 32 bits of color depth and 100 frames per
+second. This is a great deal better - if you enjoy watching sport or nature
+documentaries, the additional resolution is amazing. This still falls far
+short of reality. An IMAX theatre gives a wrap-around image of about
+10,000 by 7,000 pixels and comes closer to the average resolution of the
+human eye, estimated at about 30,000 by 20,000 pixels. But the eye cheats.
+It concentrates the rods and cones in the central portion of the retina.
+Although IMAX achieves the average pixel density of your eye, it comes
+nowhere near the peak density which is nearly 10,000 times greater.
+For a truly equivalent experience, we would need about 320 million
+pixels per eye at a frame rate of 120 frames per second, allowing us full
+stereo synthesis. At this speed and resolution, we are matching the visual
+acuity of the eye and should be able to fool it completely. But there is
+one more problem to overcome: The image is not interactive. Move your
+head in the real world and the image will change. The objects in the
+foreground will vary their position in relation to the background, so-
+called motion parallax. Try it now, move your head and you will see that
+the book, or screen you are reading moves in relation to the background.
+In a simple digitized 3D image this will not happen. You will have a 3D
+image but you will not have a real image, a light field.
+To create a real image you need to view a hologram or use head-
+tracking technology. A hologram records the light waves given off by
+an object in multiple directions rather than just the intensity of the light
+striking the camera through a single focal point. When you shine a laser
+back through the hologram, it regenerates the light waves as they would
+have originally come from the object. That light can be viewed from
+different directions, giving the impression of three dimensions rather
+than a mere two-dimensional photograph. There is often a limitation in
+viewing angle because the original photographic plate must wrap all the
+way around an object to capture the full 3D light field, but the illusion is
+very convincing
+A more effective way to create a real experience - and one with no
+restriction on viewing angle - is to construct the image in a computer
+and track the movement of your head. The computer can create the
+two-dimensional images each eye would see if the scene were truly
+three-dimensional. Computer software resolves motion parallax and a
+host of other elements, but to do so the computer must understand a
+model of the world so it can calculate how the scene would look from a
+particular angle and in the appropriate lighting. Some recent games such
+as Activision's 'Call of Duty' do this, and the experience is compelling.

+Hologram
+There are still problems. The image is stereo but planar. All the
+light coming into your eye comes from the screen a meter or so away.
+In the real world objects need you to change the focal length of your
+eye to bring them into sharp focus depending on their proximity. Try
+looking at your hand as you move it towards and away from your face,
+too close and your eye can't pull focus any further and it will blur. This
+mismatch between focal depth and the apparent distance implied by
+motion parallax is one of the reasons you can get headaches watching
+3D images. There is something not quite right about them and your eye
+has to learn a new behavior.
+Audio Field
+Our poor friend at the end of the phone is listening to a mere 4700 bits

+bit samples per second in stereo, over a million bits per second. So the
+information content of a mobile phone call is very low. It is a miracle
+you can understand speech at all over such a narrow channel, but this is
+made possible by two factors. First, human speech uses a limited range
+of frequencies. All the information in our voices lies within about two

+clever mathematics to generate speech from seed information. For a
+given speaker the vowel 'a' might be 20% middle C, 50% F and 25% A,
+with a few other things thrown in for good measure. We can transmit
+this information and ask the computer at the other end to re-synthesize
+it. This is what happens when you listen to someone on a modern phone.
+You do not hear their actual speech, you listen to a computer synthesizer
+make a near approximation.
+CD is no longer the gold standard for sound. Professional audio has
+standardized on 24 bit recording which is probably far beyond the limit
+of the human ear. An audio soundtrack is doing a good job at 2 million
+bits per second.
+Sitting perfectly still in the middle of a room, each ear will pick up
+a different signal if the source is not directly in front of us. The two ears
+on a human head face a little forward, and the hair on your head slightly
+absorbs sound. We can calculate the source of the sound by the slight
+difference in the times at which it strikes each ear, and the variation
+in frequency content. We can use these two pieces of information to
+determine the direction from which a sound is coming. It was useful for
+our ancestors to be able to tell where the saber-tooth tiger was hiding.
+We can gain more accurate information by turning our heads from side
+to side. The differences in frequency and timing should vary as we do
+so and we gain a little more data to perform the calculation. If we walk
+through the room we sample yet more of the soundscape and this can be
+used to pinpoint the exact location of the source. As we move, we expect
+the sounds we hear to change subtly according to the mental model we
+use for locating objects in the soundscape.
+To give the illusion of a soundscape modern systems use multiple
+microphones to capture the sound, so it can be reproduced on multiple
+speakers. Ideally, we would record a hologram of the sound but it is
+possible to record on thirty or so microphones and mix the tracks down
+to 5 or more channels giving us the sound experience we now expect at

+At the low end, a 'perfect' IMAX production would require 360
+degree stereoscopic projection and the generation of a full sound field.
+This would take 3 Gigabits per second for the audio field and 5,600 terabits
+per second for the video field. This could be substantially reduced if the
+person wears virtual reality glasses to track their head and eye move-
+ments, but then you are substituting resolution with computer power.

+quantum mechanics, each photon hitting our eye can't be fully described
+by a single number. The photon may be entangled with other realities
+we should keep track of. This causes our picture of reality to become
+wildly complex. Everything we might see and experience is in some way
+a combination of possibilities, and these possibilities all interact. Real life
+is very complex.
+Symbolic Communication
+Computers have no concept of an in-person meeting. They communicate
+using purely symbolic methods in binary numbers. These have the same
+meaning whether communicated over a short piece of wire or using a
+fiber optic cable half way around the world. Computers never have to
+communicate understanding to each other because they use programs
+and a program can be perfectly transmitted. Body language is, of course,
+completely alien to them!
+We know there are non-computable things; functions, numbers,

+be a place for non-computation in communication? David Deutsch has
+suggested human creativity is used to guess the 'program' running in
+someone's mind, and evolved so we can learn skills. Instead, might face-
+to-face communication be important because it lets us impart knowledge

+different feel to them. My question is this. Is there more to face-to-face
+communication between human beings than the simple exchange of
+symbolic information?
+Let us propose an experiment. I erect a 3D screen with a hi-fi
+surround sound system in a university lecture hall and deliver a lecture
+to a camera in the adjacent hall. Half the students see the lecture directly,
+and half remotely. With modern screens, it might be possible to set up
+the experiment so well that is difficult to tell which hall I am actually in.
+Is the experience of the remote students the same as the ones sitting in
+direct proximity with me? Do mirror neurons fire more strongly and
+pick up more information when you see me in the flesh, or is the feeling
+that a lecture is better when you are 'physically there an illusion? You are
+perhaps less likely to fall asleep in my lecture if you are physically there
+because you are afraid I might walk over and hit you! What possible non-
+classical effects could be in play when you see an event or communicate
+in person that might make the communication different? Here are two
+potential differences:
+Information in a face-to-face encounter is continuous, not digitized.
+Continuous information is infinite in nature and does not have the finite
+limitation of digitized data. Of course, if we have digitized the sound
+at 24 bits and replayed it with extreme fidelity, there should not be any
+loss in information, but the interactivity of the soundscape is hard to
+simulate.
+Light entering your eye contains information that could be quantum
+entangled with the object you are viewing. You become part of the system
+rather than merely an independent observer. It is difficult to see why this
+would produce a different quality of communication but it is testable.
+Set up the lecture experiment and measure the quality of understanding
+communicated between the parties.
+If we believe our brains are super-Turing, then considering there
+might be some similar effects involved in human communication is not
+unreasonable, perhaps quantum effects play a role in communication. If
+we conclude our brains think classically, then we probably communicate
+classically.

+he ancient Greeks believed there was no such thing as creativity.
+Our job, as humans, was to look at the earth and discover things
+about it. When we looked at light passing through water or built
+a boat to travel on it, we were discovering, not inventing. Shipwrights did
+not invent boats they were simply building inevitable forms. Everything
+there was to know already existed, we just hadn't realized it yet. Of course,
+Greek playwrights were busy 'creating' the first plays; tragedies, comedies
+and the like, but serious thinkers thought of them as documenting the
+human condition. It wasn't until the Renaissance, 1500 years later, that
+humans began to appreciate that they create knowledge, and this started
+us on our quest to understand creativity.
+One of my childhood memories is sitting on the kitchen floor with
+a glass of water and surrounded by knives and milk bottles. I was trying
+to solve one of the problems from Edward de Bono's book on lateral
+thinking, A Five-day Course in Thinking. De Bono, now in his 80s, is
+a prolific writer with over 60 publications to his name - all aimed at
+making us more creative. His books pose a series of practical problems,
+each needing progressively greater creative intelligence. The particular
+problem I was trying to solve was to balance a glass of water on knives
+suspended from four milk bottles. It took me after 2 hours.

+Are the Androids Dreaming Yet?
+Except for De Bono there is not much written about creativity
+in books or on the Internet, but if you dip into the video archive, the
+discussion really opens up. Perhaps this is a feature of creativity; it's
+easier to explain in person. Of course, I have taken on the writing task
+with this book but I have the benefit of modern day resources such as
+multimedia, interactivity, and the web.
+Some people appear to have creativity in abundance and the things
+they create are truly wonderful. I'm thinking here of Picasso, Einstein,
+Mozart, Edison, or Maxwell, but a precise definition of creative thinking
+is hard to pin down. Here are some generally accepted categories:
+Divergent Thinking
+The first sort of creative thinking we recognize is divergent thinking,
+often called brainstorming. This is the art of coming up with ideas - lots
+of them. A quick way to test your skill is to take a minute, and list all the
+possible uses for a paperclip. Try it!

+Creativity
+299
+ANSWER WITHOUT READING ON
+This is the classic test of creativity developed by J.P. Guilford in 1967.
+It is called the Alternative Uses Task. You can try the task with many
+objects: bricks, chairs, even water. How did you do on your first attempt?
+8 to 10 uses is about average, 20 is extremely good. It's possible to teach
+most people to get near twenty and I'll show you how to do this in a
+moment.
+Another test of idea generation is to draw 30 things in 30 circles.
+Thirty is such a large number it forces us to come up with some nutty
+ideas and break our natural tendency to self-censor.
+For example, I'd like you to create logos or logo ideas, for a new
+coffee company in your circles. The test is best done without a time limit
+so now is the time to break off reading and make yourself a coffee. Then
+come back and draw 30 circles on a piece of paper. Fill in the circles.
+MAKE A COFFEE, THEN START DRAWING.
+The aim of brainstorming is to remove our inhibitions and get us
+to generate a mass of ideas. In normal life, we tend to suppress ideas
+even before we are consciously aware of them. Sir Ken Robinson has
+researched creativity in children and found the ability to brainstorm
+reduces linearly with age. At five or six, children given one of these
+divergent thinking tasks come up with many creative solutions: fold the
+paper clip into a dinosaur, and use it to attack your friends, get two and
+use them as chop sticks. As adults, we tend to disqualify ideas. You could
+never fold a paperclip that tightly or accurately, we said, "a" paper clip
+not two. But, you can fold a paper clip tightly, and the room you are
+doing the test in has thirty paper clips and thirty people in it so just team
+up with a friend. I never said this was a solo task!
+Do you see how you impose nonexistent rules on your thinking,
+particularly the implied rule of not working with others? I did not say
+this test was subject to examination conditions. The first twenty years of
+our lives teaches us to work alone on intellectual tasks, yet when we get
+to the workplace we can, and indeed must collaborate to succeed. Now
+you have an idea how to ace the paper clip test: don't censor yourself and
+don't imply rules I have not imposed!
