marabou spiders
pink cactus spider
okay, this isn't a classic marabou spider, but it's a close relative. Looks big and lively in the water, and the marabou doesn't foul as often as my standard marabou spiders do because of the chenille (below).
hook: number 2 wet-fly salmon hook
Thread: orange monocord
Underbody: pink cactus chenille
Body: a single white marabou feather with soft, thin stems and relatively short fibers
Collar: pink schlappen
orange marabou
This is my favorite bright fly pattern. Last April 30th I had an arm-jarring take (but no hookup) fishing this fly behind Skookum on the Sky, a rare occasion when following that fish magnet through a run.
hook: number 2 wet-fly salmon hook
Thread: orange monocord
Body: select 3 marabou feathers with soft, thin stems and relatively short fibers
1 pink, 1 red, 1 flame orange;
Collar: orange schlappen
tie in the base of the pink feather (pointed away from the eye) no more than 1/2" from the hook-eye, then carefully wrap forward without trapping fibers from the previous wraps. I add a couple strands of flashabou then repeat with the red feather, then a couple more flashabou strands, then the orange marabou feather, and finish with a a few turns of flame orange schlappen.
Black and White Marabou
Same fly as above, although this one is tied on a Tiemco 8089 bass bug hook.
hook: number 2 tiemco 8089
Thread: black monocord
Body: 1 white marabou, 1 black marabou, 4 strands of pearl flashabou
Collar: black schlappen

Fashion has certainly ruled Charleston for this past week, and nowhere was giving so fashionable as at the Circle of Champions Luncheon on Wednesday, March 21. Partygoers put their best stiletto forward at the CFW tents in Marion Square, where a young, chic crowd enjoyed mimosas, Arnold Palmers, and Bloody Marys while catching up and perusing the stylish silent auction items.
They then sat down to a cold asparagus and buttermilk soup with grilled ramps and country ham from McCrady's chef Sean Brock. While guests savored their first course, pint-sized supermodels took to the runway to show off the latest in children's fashion from Southern Belles. The wee fashionistas did an excellent job on the catwalk, receiving a standing ovation from everyone present. The models for Pearl began stomping down the runway in this season's hottest looks while servers slipped between the tables carrying plates of FIG chef Mike Lata's cold farro salad with spring veggies and crab and a green garlic vinaigrette.
Fashionistas tucked into the dish with one eye on the runway, and as the course wrapped up the live auction began. Partygoers bid quickly and generously, with one bidder claiming the ultimate dinner at Circle of Champions Luncheon co-host Terri Henning's downtown penthouse for no less than $6,000.
The luxurious luncheon slowly drew to a sweet close as partygoers savored Ambrose Family Farm strawberries with cassis sauce and vanilla bean from Charleston Grill chef Michelle Weaver.
The Circle of Champions Luncheon benefited the MUSC Children's Hospital, recently named one of the best children's hospitals in the United States. The MUSC Children's Hospital is dedicated to enhancing the health of children throughout South Carolina and to providing an environment that supports excellence in pediatric patient care, teaching, and research.

How the States Got Their Shapes Too by Mark Stein. The first book (without the "Too" word) by this author was still checked out from the library, so I read his second. Based on the individuals who were a part of such disagreements, it traces the development of why the boundaries and borders of the USA states are what they are... now. I suspect the maps won't always look the way they do right now. Some parts were a little funny, but it could even be a primer for US history from the pre-Revolution days to the present.

The dollar's status as the world's reserve currency has become a facet of U.S. power, allowing the United States to borrow effortlessly and sustain an assertive foreign policy. But the capital inflows associated with the dollar's reserve-currency status have created a vulnerability, too, opening the door to a foreign sell-off of U.S. securities that could drive up U.S. interest rates. In this Center for Geoeconomic Studies Capital Flows Quarterly, Francis E. Warnock argues that a sell-off came close to happening in 2009. How the United States uses this reprieve will affect the nation's ability to borrow for years to come, with broad implications for the sustainability of an active U.S. foreign policy.
In 1961, the Belgian economist Robert Triffin described the dilemma faced by the country at the center of the international monetary system.1 To supply the world's risk-free asset, the center country must run a current account deficit and in doing so become ever more indebted to foreigners, until the risk-free asset that it issues ceases to be risk free. Precisely because the world is happy to have a dependable asset to hold as a store of value, it will buy so much of that asset that its issuer will become unsustainably burdened. The endgame to Triffin's paradox is a global, wholesale dumping of the hcenter country's securities. No one knows in advance when the tipping point will be reached, but the damage brought about by higher interest rates and slower economic growth will be readily apparent afterward.
For a long time now, the United States has seemed vulnerable to the fate that Triffin predicted. Since 1982 it has run a current account deficit every year but one, steadily piling up obligations to foreigners. Because foreigners have been eager to hold dollar assets, they have willingly enabled this pattern, pouring capital into the United States and financing the nation's surplus of spending over savings. The dollar's status as the world's reserve currency has become a facet of U.S. power, allowing the United States to borrow effortlessly and sustain large debt-financed military commitments. Capital has tended to flood into the United States especially readily during moments of geopolitical stress, ensuring that the nation has had the financial wherewithal to conduct an assertive foreign policy precisely at moments when crises demanded it. But the capital inflows associated with the dollar's reserve-currency status have created a vulnerability, too, opening the door to a foreign sell-off of U.S. securities that could drive up U.S. interest rates and render the nation's formidable stock of debt far more expensive to service.
Late last year, this potential danger came close to becoming reality. Largely thanks to homegrown pressures, unrelated to Triffin's dilemma, the world's risk-free asset, the ten-year U.S. Treasury bond, was sagging. With sizeable budget deficits, the prospects of an ever-increasing amount of government debt, the end of the Federal Reserve's crisis-driven program of accumulating Treasury bonds, and an uptick in inflation expectations, the ten-year Treasury yield increased by fifty basis points from 3.25 percent to 3.75 percent. And further increases were likely. Such increases would not only substantially raise the cost of future government borrowing, but would also threaten any recovery in housing and other interest-rate-sensitive sectors.
At the same time, moreover, foreigners seemed poised to drive U.S. borrowing costs higher. The dollar was falling sharply. Early in 2009 it fetched almost eighty euro cents in Frankfurt or Athens; by autumn it was worth sixty-seven euro cents. Foreign investors, who held more than half of the U.S. Treasury market, were getting nervous. Luo Ping, a director-general at the China Banking Regulatory Commission, summed up the angst:
"Except for U.S. Treasuries, what can you hold? Gold? You don't hold Japanese government bonds or UK bonds. U.S. Treasuries are the safe haven. For everyone, including China, it is the only option . . . . We know the dollar is going to depreciate, so we hate you guys, but there is nothing much we can do."2
Was Triffin's endgame—sudden reserve diversification, or the act of foreign governments abruptly shifting their funds from dollars to other currencies—about to become a reality? If so, the likeliest benefactor was the eurozone. Prominent economists opined that the euro would become the world's reserve currency by as early as 2015.3 Through the first half of 2009 global investors seemed to agree: net inflows into eurozone debt instruments—that is, the rest of the world's purchases of eurozone bonds less euro-area purchases of foreign bonds—surged to record levels. The related plummeting of the dollar relative to the euro added to the fear that global investors were abandoning the center country.
But then began the eurozone phase of the global financial crisis. This has provided the U.S. government with a timely respite from both domestic forces and Triffin's endgame. U.S. policymakers need to understand that this is not a reset, not a new beginning; it is a lucky break. How the United States uses this reprieve will affect the nation's ability to borrow for years to come, with broad implications for the sustainability of an active U.S. foreign policy.
In what follows we will walk through the domestic pressures on U.S. long-term interest rates, the role of global investors, the respite provided by the eurozone crisis, and policy implications. The story will be told primarily through pictures. For those interested in the methodology used to measure foreign official flows and a more detailed perspective on U.S. capital flows, a box and appendix are also provided.
Domestic Pressures on Long-Term Rates
In the autumn of 2009 at least three factors were weighing heavily on U.S. Treasury bond prices, driving interest rates (or "yields") upward. Significantly, none of the three factors has diminished.
The first factor is the hangover from the financial crisis. On top of tax cuts and spending increases over the past decade, the stimulus spending and the decline in tax revenues resulting from the recession worsened the U.S. fiscal situation. The budget deficit reached 10 percent of potential GDP in 2008, and even the baseline Congressional Budget Office forecast, which implausibly assumes that Congress will allow various "temporary" tax relief measures to expire, has U.S. public debt skyrocketing toward 100 percent of GDP (Figure 1, left panels).4 Various economic theories provide a link from increases in either government debt (a stock figure) or budget deficits (a flow) and increases in interest rates, be it through the crowding out of private investment or through Keynesian increases in demand. Whatever theory one prefers, Thomas Laubach showed that for each percentage point rise in the projected deficit-to-GDP ratio, longer-term interest rates increase by about twenty-five basis points (or 0.25 percent); alternatively, each percentage point rise in the public debt-to-GDP ratio increases long rates by three to four basis points.5 Combining deficit (or debt) projections with the Laubach analysis, one might expect the fiscal situation to lead to a full percentage point (or even much greater) increase in long rates.
The second domestic factor exerting upward pressure on long rates is that demand from one source—the Federal Reserve—is likely to be scaled back. In 2009, the Fed purchased $300 billion in long-dated treasuries (Figure 1, right top panel). To the extent this put downward pressure on rates, the cessation of the Fed's credit-easing policy might be expected to lead to higher long rates.
A third factor on the radar screen is inflation expectations. An increase in inflation expectations can have a one-for-one impact on long-term nominal interest rates. Longer-term inflation expectations (Figure 1, right bottom panel) have been on a post-crisis upward march, putting yet more upward pressure on long rates.
In the autumn of 2009, the one domestic factor that was pulling rates lower was anything but comforting: concerns about a potential double-dip recession. As the U.S. recovery has strengthened, this factor has grown less significant. The result is that the balance of domestic forces in the United States now points to higher borrowing costs for the U.S. government. Adding together the pressure from large deficits, the cessation of the Fed's crisis-response policies, and rising inflation expectations, one might expect the ten-year Treasury rate to be at least one hundred basis points higher than it was a year ago. Oddly, and perhaps ominously, the actual ten-year Treasury rate at the start of June 2010 languishes at 3.4 percent, roughly unchanged from a year ago, implying plenty of room for an upward spike.

The Role of Global Investors
Not too long ago many were skeptical that foreign accumulation of U.S. debt securities materially affected U.S. rates. The view that such intervention did not matter was summed up concisely by the chief economist of an investment bank: "U.S. bond yields . . . have fluctuated over a wide range in response to many factors . . . but foreign buying . . . ha[s] simply not had much impact. Foreigners don't have much influence . . ."6
At a July 2005 briefing, Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL) asked Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan if foreign flows could affect long-term U.S. interest rates. In Greenspan's response to the senator, he noted that while foreign accumulation probably lowered long-term U.S. interest rates, the effect was likely small, and so the unwinding of those positions, were it to occur, would only add a small amount to long rates.
But at that time no one had a good sense of the dynamics of foreign demand for U.S. bonds. To calculate the effect of this demand on Treasury rates, economists seek to isolate the portion of foreign demand that comes from governments: Unlike private foreign purchases, which may fluctuate in response to Treasury rates, foreign government purchases are presumed to be insensitive to Treasury rates, so that changes in those rates can be presumed to be driven by government buying rather than the other way around. Greenspan's response to Senator Shelby was based on calculations that used data on bonds held at the New York Fed on behalf of foreign governments. But, while governments use the New York Fed's custodial services for some purchases, they also hold U.S. bonds elsewhere, so the analysis was based on partial data. And while there have been many user-friendly improvements over the past few years, international capital flows data remain hard to navigate. (For a discussion of various sources of data on foreign governments' purchases and sales of U.S. securities, see Box 1).
However, a 2005 Federal Reserve discussion paper pointed to a better answer than the one that was generally accepted at the time of Shelby's question.7The paper began by showing how reported capital flows data could be adjusted for use in empirical analysis. Briefly, because of a bias in the Treasury International Capital data collected by the U.S. government, flows from foreign official institutions were often reported as being from private investors. Infrequent but high-quality snapshots of stocks (as opposed to flows) do not suffer from this bias (although they are subject to a less severe bias, described in the box) and so can be used to correct flows data. Armed with such data, the authors found that foreign official purchases of treasuries had little if any impact on shorter-term U.S. rates (which are well anchored by the Fed Funds rate) but a substantial impact on U.S. long-term interest rates. The accumulation of U.S. treasuries (and near substitutes) by foreign official institutions, then running at about $400 billion per year, lowered long-term U.S. interest rates by anywhere from fifty to one hundred basis points; if foreign governments ceased adding treasuries to their portfolios, U.S. long-term rates could spike upward by the same amount. The increase would be much greater if foreign governments actively sold existing Treasury positions. Equally, a cessation of purchases or a sell-off by foreign private investors could add even more to the upward pressure on U.S. interest rates, since foreign private investors remain large buyers.
The potential impact on the United States resulting from a sell-off has not diminished since the original discussion paper calculations, because foreigners have not reduced the size of their positions. Foreigners now hold over half of the Treasury bond market and almost a fifth of the corporate debt market. Table 1 summarizes foreigners' share of various U.S. asset classes.

The Near Miss of 2009
The large foreign holdings of U.S. assets presented in Table 1 are only a threat to the United States if there is a risk that foreigners might abandon past patterns and decide to put their money elsewhere. In 2009, with domestic conditions pointing toward a surge in Treasury yields, major investors were thinking aloud about doing just that—witness the concern expressed by China's Luo Ping that his country's accumulation of risk-free dollar assets was anything but risk-free. At the same time, other senior foreign officials were actively debating the future of the dollar as the global reserve currency. On a visit to Beijing in May 2009, Brazil's president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, picked up on his hosts' frustration with the U.S. currency. Calling for a "new economic order," he suggested that it was time to stop denominating trade in dollars.
Sure enough, foreign flows into U.S. Treasury bonds declined steeply in the first months of 2009. Yet they remained positive, and recovered in the second half of the year (Figure 2). While not as pronounced as in 2003-2004, foreign appetite for the reserve asset remained at a high level.
Figure 2 (Click for larger image)
Last data point: 2009 October.
Even though foreign appetite for U.S. treasuries remained healthy, this did not eliminate the risk to the United States. The reason was that U.S. debt issuance was increasing sharply, and foreigners were holding a smaller share of outstanding U.S. bonds (Table 1 and Figure 3). This raised the specter of a future in which the United States would likely have to issue more and more bonds, but foreign demand might not keep pace.

Figure 4 (Click for larger image)
Last data point: 2009 Q2.
At the same time, the eurozone was experiencing an unprecedented increase in net bond inflows (Figure 4). Global fixed income investors had warmed to the euro area. Luo Ping's lament that foreigners have no choice but to accumulate U.S. assets seemed to be less true. If the euro was emerging as a popular reserve asset, was an abandonment of U.S. bonds the next step?
In sum, by the autumn of 2009 the scene was set for a wholesale abandonment of U.S. debt markets. But then the eurozone's crisis accelerated. Spreads between Greek and German long rates skyrocketed, and net bond flows into the euro area fell sharply (Figure 5).
Figure 5 (Click for larger image)
Last data point: 2009 Q4.
The eurozone crisis seemed to remind investors of a point that had been obscured by the credit crisis: For all their imperfections, U.S. capital markets have powerful advantages over foreign rivals. To be sure, U.S. private institutions had hidden their weaknesses by holding them off their balance sheets, but the Greek government proved that European sovereigns were capable of an even greater lack of transparency. Moreover, the crisis reminded investors that there still is not a unified eurozone sovereign debt market that global investors can comfortably move in and out of. The U.S. Treasury market, in contrast, is large, homogenous, and liquid—features attractive to investors needing to place a large amount of funds.8
The effect of the eurozone crisis on U.S. bond flows is striking. Flows into U.S. bonds have surged (Figure 6).
Just when conditions for U.S. debt seemed most worrisome, the world has again rushed into the U.S. Treasury market. The dollar has surged (Figure 7). And, despite all the domestic forces pointing toward sharply higher U.S. long-term interest rates, the continued foreign appetite for dollar assets has kept interest rates low.

Last data point: 2010 April.

Policy Implications: What To Do With the Respite?
Global markets have given the United States a respite. Policymakers could use this respite to avoid making tough decisions and increase borrowing, taking advantage of historically low interest rates and heightened global demand for U.S. bonds. But if the United States adds further to its debt, the privilege of borrowing internationally in its own currency might not last much longer. Therefore the Obama administration's deficit review commission, which is due to report by December 1, 2010, presents an important national opportunity. Though it has been written off as a political sideshow by many commentators, a failure to act on its proposals will jeopardize U.S. economic and national security. In order to continue to attract foreign capital, the United States needs to control its appetite for it. Moreover, it should do so while foreign capital is still readily available rather than waiting for a crisis, at which point adjustment will be far more painful.
Fiscal adjustment is all the more urgent, as some sources of the dollar's reserve currency status may not last. In particular, the eurozone, if it holds together, now recognizes the need for a unified sovereign bond market; the newly created bailout facility will be financed partially by eurozone bonds, and proposals exist to go much further.9 In the future, there will be rivals to the U.S. Treasury market in terms of market depth and liquidity. To remain the world's reserve currency, with all the associated perks and duties, the United States must provide the world with both a stable currency not eroded by inflation and conditions, including deep and transparent markets, in which outsiders (be they domestic or foreign) are comfortable committing funds.10
The United States also needs to consider how it uses borrowed funds. While borrowing to finance consumption (whether public or private) is not sustainable, borrowing to finance the expansion of the capital stock—improving the economy's productive capacity—is more benign. If debts are used to expand output, the debt-to-GDP ratio can remain stable or even fall, even as borrowing remains large. But persistent borrowing from abroad cannot be accompanied by persistent increases in government and household consumption.
Box 1: Have Foreign Official Flows Into the United States Surged or Plummeted This Year? (Click for larger image)
The three data sources in Box 1 conflict because of different methodologies. The monthly TIC data "identifies" foreign official flows as those that originate from a recognized foreign official institution. Any transaction run through a shell company or even a non-U.S. intermediary shows up in the TIC data, but not as a foreign official flow. That is, the TIC data on foreign official flows should be viewed as a lower bound. Hence, in Figures 2 and 6 both "identified" foreign official flows and total foreign flows are shown; true foreign official flows are likely somewhere between the two lines.
One read on the extent of private flows that should be "shuffled" into foreign official flows is provided by Federal Reserve adjustments.11 Those adjustments, shown in the "memo items" listed under the TIC data in the above table, shift roughly $100 billion a year from private to foreign official inflows. These adjustments are, however, also partial, as they are based on a reconciliation of the monthly flows with annual snapshots of custodial holdings. That is, they replace a severe transaction center bias with a much less severe custodial center bias.12 While this is an improvement, even this adjustment cannot be viewed as complete as any foreign official institution that wants to mask its holdings can do so by using a foreign custodian.13
The different reported amounts of foreign official inflows can be reconciled. The New York Fed's H.4.1 data, the most timely, is custodial based and for only one custodian, the New York Fed. If foreign central banks choose not to utilize the New York Fed, or move bonds from their accounts at the New York Fed to other custodians, the H.4.1 data will not provide an accurate read of foreign official inflows. The TIC data by itself has a transaction center bias that in some cases will cause foreign official flows to be reported as private flows. Federal Reserve adjustments, by making monthly flows consistent with annual data on positions, transform this transaction center bias into a more benign custodial center bias (and also correct for some other problems with the flows data). The Bureau of Economic Analysis moves last and thus can incorporate all of these sources into what should be the most comprehensive view of foreign official flows into the United States. That view shows that foreign official inflows maintained a high level of over $400 billion per year during the financial crisis, although the composition changed dramatically. In particular, foreign official institutions no longer accumulate agency and corporate bonds, instead focusing their purchases on Treasury securities.
To date in 2010, by focusing solely on TIC's reported foreign official flows, one would conclude that foreign governments have greatly reduced their demand for U.S. Treasury securities. But, recognizing that many foreign official flows are not identified as such in the TIC data, and that (1) total foreign flows into treasuries remain strong (as evident in Figure 6) and (2) governments' holdings of Treasury securities at the New York Fed have increased sharply, the opposite conclusion would be reached. Foreign governments' demand for U.S. Treasury securities remains as strong as ever.
Appendix: Financial Flows in the United States
This paper has zeroed in on a particular type of capital flow: foreigners' purchases (and sales) of U.S. Treasury securities. But it is also useful to keep the broader picture in mind. Thus, the appendix provides a broader (but cursory) view of U.S. international capital flows, primarily through an annotated table of U.S. capital flows (Appendix Table 1), which will be updated each quarter.
Net financial flows into the United States (line 7) slowed only slightly during the financial crisis, even as foreigners sharply curtailed their purchases of U.S. securities (included in line 15). Reason: At the same time, U.S. investors ceased their purchases of foreign securities (line 10). But in 2009, foreigners' demand for U.S. securities remained tepid and U.S. investors' purchases of foreign securities resumed to some extent, and thus net financial inflows into the U.S. slowed substantially. Things to consider over the rest of 2010: Will foreign official institutions (line 16) maintain their large flows into the United States? Will FDI (line 24) and equity flows (line 25) into the United States maintain their recent levels and perhaps even increase? Will U.S. corporate bonds (line 30) become a desirable asset class once again? And will U.S. investors step up their diversification into foreign markets?
An oddity in recent BOP data is U.S. government assets abroad (line 14). Most years these flows are approximately zero, but in 2008 they were very large. Reason: Included in this category are the currency swaps initiated by the Fed. When they were put on (in 2008), they were recorded as large outflows; as they were undone in 2009, a large inflow was recorded. Over time these currency swaps are designed to sum to zero in BOP terms.

4. The baseline CBO forecast must assume policies remain as they currently are, which means that temporary spending provisions are assumed to expire, even if in practice they are often extended. For a discussion of various deficit and debt forecasts, see Alan Auerbach and William Gale, "Déjà Vu All Over Again: On the Dismal Prospects for the Federal Budget" (Brookings Institution mimeograph, 2010), which notes that the main concern is not in deficits over the next year or two, but medium- and long-term deficits.
5. Laubach's analysis is explicitly about five-year projections of deficits (and debt), so one should caution against using it to make statements about the impact of cyclical deficits. It is more appropriate for longer-term fiscal trends. See Thomas Laubach, "New Evidence on the Interest Rate Effects of Budget Deficits and Debt," Journal of the European Economic Association, vol. 7, no. 4, pp. 858–885.

10. See Sack, "Dollar Asset Markets."
11. These adjustments, developed by Charles Thomas, Francis E. Warnock, and Jon Wongswan in "The Performance of International Equity Portfolios" (NBER Working Paper 12346, 2006) and refined by Carol Bertaut and Ralph Tryon in "Monthly Estimates of U.S. Cross-Border Securities Positions" (FRB International Finance Discussion Paper No. 910, 2007), are updated each year on http://www.federalreserve.gov/pubs/ifdp/2007/910/default.htm.
12. The transactions center bias in the TIC data on long-term securities flows derives from the fact that the respondents are asked to identify the country through which the transaction was made, which can differ from the country of the ultimate buyer (in the case of inflows) or of the issuer (in the case of outflows). Liabilities data collected on a custodial basis can also have a bias if the custodian and ultimate investor reside in different countries. To see that the Federal Reserve adjustment is largely a removal of the transaction center bias, note that for Treasury bills, which are collected by the TIC system on a custodial basis, the discrepancy between TIC and BOP data is quite modest.
13. Note that even with all available information, there is nothing pristine about transactions-based international capital flows data collected for BOP purposes. A fundamental difficulty with such a data collection system is that it asks reporters to submit data that they would never collect on their own. A financial intermediary would not naturally care about the residency of the parties on either side of a trade, but that is exactly what BOP accounting rules ask them to do. More natural might be to obtain higher frequency reads on cross-border positions, something naturally collected by custodians, and use them to calculate flows.

The latest IPC book, Terror Tagging of an Iranian Dissident Organization, will be available via Amazon.com in August 2011. Below is a summary of the book.
The law and facts have been moving in the direction of removal of an Iranian dissident group—the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MeK), aka People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) from the U.S. Department of State Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) list. Despite the law and facts, it is a puzzle for the MeK to be designated as a terrorist group.

Building GLORY's Light Heavyweight Division: Ondrej Hutnik
- Written by Dave Walsh
Glory 9 brought great action to kickboxing fans this past Saturday. The event also helped the Glory promotion name its first light heavyweight Slam champion, and provided everyone a greater sense of who's who in a long-underrepresented division. Glory will now have to attract additional talent from around the world to bolster the ranks of an already strong group of light heavyweights. This series of articles looks at kick boxers that we at LiverKick would have liked to see in Saturday's tournament and hope Glory can bring into the fold going forward.
Ondrej Hutnik is a 30-year-old southpaw fighting out of Prague, Czech Republic. While his tendency to fight domestically is a concern for some fans, Hutnik has put together a substantial win streak and continues to collect accolades at the light heavyweight mark. With one of the more established resumes in the weight class, it would be fitting to see the Czech kick boxer on kickboxing's biggest stage.
Hutnik began his career near 147 pounds, and collected titles while moving up toward the light heavyweight division. In December 2005, Hutnik defeated Sem Braan – for the second time in roughly six months – to advance to the It's Showtime 75MAX Trophy Final. When the final tournament rolled around in September 2006, the Czech fighter defeated Dmitry Shakuta and Joerie Mes before dropping a decision to Sahin Yakut in the championship bout. A victory over countryman Jiri Zak would follow, and Hutnik soon moved up to fight around 190 pounds.
The last defeat of Hutnik's career came near that mark, as Tyrone Spong stopped him with a hellacious body shot in March 2008. Hutnik's resume since includes a number of wins over recognizable names, including Redouan Cairo, James Phillips, and Hakan Aksoy. He became the 2011 Enfusion kickboxing tournament champion by following up wins against Wendell Roche and Thiago Martina with decision victories over Mohamed Boubkari and Frank Munoz in the same night. Hutnik has won six more bouts since, defeating Fight Code veteran Pacome Assi and Spanish standout Loren Javier Jorge along the way.
On June 14th, Hutnik topped Stefan Leko in the Czech city of Brno, stopping the K-1 veteran in the round of their championship bout. Hutnik landed a kick that clearly injured Leko's right arm and led to the bout being immediately waved off.
For many fans, Hutnik's biggest shortcoming may be his tendency to stay near home when entering the ring. Hutnik has not fought outside of the Czech Republic, or neighboring Slovakia, since early 2011. Considered in tandem with a decision-heavy record and lack of blistering speed, this has led some to question whether Hutnik's success in recent years would be duplicated in a promotion like Glory.
Unlike our last featured fighter, Vladimir Mineev, Ondrej Hutnik does not have an upcoming bout scheduled at this time.

After a warm winter and a particularly early spring, many forage grasses and small grains used for forages are quickly nearing the stages where they need to be cut to maintain optimum feed quality. It appears that forage maturity is about two to three weeks ahead of schedule.
In principle, all forage crops lose nutrient value as they get to the later growth stages, with small grain crops, (wheat and rye) losing nutrients much quicker than other crops.
Feb. 29 receipts: 641 • Feb. 22: 359
Compared to the previous week: Feeder steers steady to $1 higher, feeder heifers $1 to $3 higher. Slaughter cows steady and slaughter bulls steady on a light test.

USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service has announced that the first of three ranking period cut-off dates for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program Organic, High Tunnel (Hoop Houses) and On-Farm Energy Initiatives is Feb. 3.
Producers interested in any of these three programs should submit applications to the local NRCS office by the deadline so that their applications can be considered during the first ranking period of 2012.
The organic initiative will focus on individuals who are currently certified organic or are transitioning to become certified organic.

"A big part of what we're doing with Modrobes is making clothing for cycling and commuting on bikes." – Modrobes founder Steven Sal Debus
Remember Modrobes? If you're in your 20s or early 30s you probably had a pair of their pants on during Frosh Week.
After shutting down the company, founder Steven Sal Debus is back with a new clothing line made of recycled plastic bottles.
And, after a successful appearance on Dragon's Den (is it just me or does that show love cycling products?) the brand relaunched online and has a new store at 620 Queen Street West, Toronto. I stopped in today after reading about the shop on 416CycleStyle.
The clothes are simple, straightforward and functional. I'm particularly fond of the men's Williamsburg jacket made of a stretchy, wind and water resistant recycled material. And, in a strange twist, this jacket, which is made with cyclists in mind, isn't covered in reflective piping. That means you can wear this while cycling and not worry about getting lumped into the "avid cyclists" club based solely on your appearance. (Just don't forget your lights).
Inside the shop you'll find a small selection of Abici and Batavus Old Dutch bicycles also for sale. Maybe they'll let you take a spin to test out their clothes and the bikes.
Below is a YouTube video by the brand with clips from Dragon's Den:
Update: Modrobes is hosting an opening party on Saturday, April 10, 2010 from 5-10pm. Enjoy a beer and get 30% off all clothing… nice! More info here: http://bikingtoronto.com/events/modrobes-opening-party/

I have been doing a lot of house projects lately. Maybe too many. I don't think I've had much time to get into my workshop and do some woodworking. At least I can rest easy knowing that all the fascia and soffit boards are nice and new as well as the gutters!
Even though I haven't had much time to work on some new projects, I did manage to squeeze in enough time to make a nice maple and mahogany chessboard. I decided to make it into a box so that I can just easily store the pieces and clock inside it.
I'm not into turning, so I didn't make the chess pieces. That's not something I think I'd want to get myself into. I think if I was going to do it again though, I might dress it up with some inlay or maybe some decorative, but simple, carving around the edge. I'm using some embedded rare earth magnets as the means to keep the lid in place and right where I want it. Checkmate!

Your egg, sperm and embryo storage options
Freezing and storing embryos
During fertility treatment there are normally a number of unused embryos remaining. Some people choose to freeze the good quality unused embryos for use in later treatment cycles or for donation.
Freezing and storing eggs
To help boost egg production, fertility drugs are used to stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs than usual. The developing eggs are monitored and when they are mature they are carefully collected under sedation or general anaesthetic. To freeze the eggs, they are placed in storage in liquid nitrogen.
Freezing and storing sperm
Sperm can be frozen for future use either in artificial insemination or other fertility treatments, or be donated. Donated sperm has to be stored for six months before it can be used in treatment in order to screen the donor for infections.

RSF Kobol
The RSF Kobol was the French synth company's first compact keyboard synthesizer, certainly inspired by the Minimoog. It is a much more compact instrument than the Modular Model 11 series of synthesizers they had been making thus far. It is a monophonic analog synthesizer with traditional controls, knobs, switches and two oscillators for a good solid analog synth sound. Initally released as a keyboard in 1978, a 3-unit rack-mount system was later released in 1979.
Although it is mostly a traditional analog synth with stable oscillators and lots of knobs that allow you to control the ADS envelope, the filter section and the nice LFO, it did offer some unique features for its time. Most notably, the oscillator waveforms can be continuously swept across for a very cool morph from square to saw to pulse, etc. This, as well as note on/off and other parameters can be controlled via CV/gate. External sounds can be processed through the Kobol filter and envelope sections too.
The rack version came in four different components. The Kobol Rack (Expander I) was essentially only the VCO/VCF/VCA/LFO sections of the Kobol in a rack module. The Expander 2 was an add-on to the Kobol that added some new processing modules such as ring modulation, sample-hold, and envelope followers as well as extra VCA and LFO modules. The Programmer rack module contained the memory circuits for storing patches and sequencing. And the KM8 was an 8-channel rack-mount mixer. The connections between modules were normalized but could be bypassed by external patches, similar to other semi-modulars like the ARP 2600 and Korg MS-20.
The Kobol looked and sounded great, and was quickly snapped up by the big names in synthesizers of the time. But being a small French company, RSF were never able to truly mass produce these on the same sort of scale that Moog, Arp, Roland or Korg could. Less than 200 Kobol keyboards were made, around 800 Kobol Racks, 200 Expander 2's, 200 Programmer's and only a handful of the KM8's. This makes them quite rare and quite pricey too! They have been used by Vince Clarke, Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre, Depeche Mode, Peter Gabriel, and Hans Zimmer.

Jedi Force coming up next.
Jedi Force is confusing, we've had this name a lot now, and this line is like a cross between the older Jedi Force line and Galactic Heroes, and some figures have articulation while others don't. Interesting idea, I wonder how they'll do on pegs.
I've been buying them for a while. And yeah, they're kinda a mesh of both lines.
The only ones that don't tend to have articulation is the GH carryovers. Like the Jawas and Destroyer Droids.
Ooooooh, I assume you're talking about the new larger scale Jedi Force figures. Yeah, those are new.
AGENTS OF ATLAS - Returns in Early 2009.
Ok, that's it for the Hasbro Star Wars photos Steve took. The next update is expected to be the high-res slideshow files.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
It just dawned on me that there's no Clone Wars product displayed, and now Steve has the official list up and there's no Clone Wars and no Class 1 Fleet.
Exclusives gallery up, they look really good.
Hasbro has sent out the source images from the slideshow, but have a new policy about not giving out the actual slides, so those images will be put into their respective sections.
SLAVE I ESB! Gimme gimme!
Biggs gets his own X-wing. Yay?
Birth of Vader set has a shocktrooper but no FX-6?
Oh, that Republic Gunship set looks like it has the new budget Saga Legends Yoda, Clone Trooper and Clone Pilot, how very unfortunate, and also I don't think those budget figures will be able to fit in the turrets or possibly even in the cockpit.
Ugh, now we have yet another awful-looking Luke ANH Ceremony. What is it with that version of the character that delivers only awful figures?
Scoff all you want (and I hope I'm wrong), but the 3.75" Black Series already having a truly crappy-looking Ceremony Luke and yet another Vader makes me a bit concerned that, after peg space is cut to make room for the Saga Legends, they're going to get clogged with pegwarmers a lot more quickly.
That's my jacket!
Those 5-POA Saga Legends figures actually look pretty cool. I might end up buying a few of those. Hopefully we'll see some OT troopers in that style soon.
I didn't really expect to like them at all, but they have sort of a vintage, Kenner charm about them.
I have no interest in what was shown for the Black Series 3.75" line. It's just the same, crappy Legacy 2 assortments repackaged.
Right now it looks like I'm going to be focusing on the 6" line and those Saga Legends figures for 2013.

Eliquis approved in EU for stroke prevention
Singapore: European Commission has approved Eliquis (apixaban) for prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in adult patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) with one or more risk factors.
Eliquis, developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer, is the only oral anticoagulant that has demonstrated superior risk reduction versus warfarin in the three important outcomes of stroke and systemic embolism, major bleeding, and all-cause mortality.Eliquis is an oral direct factor Xa inhibitor, part of a novel therapeutic class. This is the first regulatory approval in any market for Eliquis for stroke prevention in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.
"Patients with atrial fibrillation have a five times greater risk of stroke and there remains a critical public health need for improved treatment options to reduce this risk," said Mr Lars Wallentin, director and professor, cardiology, Uppsala Clinical Research Center and University Hospital, Sweden.
"The approval of Eliquis represents an important new treatment option for health care professionals, who now have an oral anticoagulant with superior outcomes versus warfarin in the reduction of stroke, major bleeding and death in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation," he added.
The marketing authorization for Eliquis is supported by the pivotal phase III trials ARISTOTLE and AVERROES, which evaluated approximately 24,000 patients with NVAF in the largest completed clinical trial program conducted to date in this patient population. The Eliquis clinical program is the only phase III clinical program among the new oral anticoagulants to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Eliquis versus aspirin in patients who were unsuitable for vitamin K antagonist (VKA) therapy.

Topics: "Special Session/Minnesota Budget" & "City of Duluth News"
Description: A long over-night special session of the Minnesota State Legislature ended the government shutdown, but few are happy with the end result. Northern Minnesota Lawmakers join us to talk about the bills that were passed in an agreement between Gov. Mark Dayton and Republican lawmakers.
And it was a busy week for city government in Duluth. The city learned it will lose $4.2-million dollars in Local Government Aid as a result of the special session, and filings closed for city council races and the Mayor's race, and for the first time in the city's history the incumbent Mayor will be running unopposed.
Guests: Sen. Roger Reinert, DFL-Duluth; Rep. Tom Huntley, DFL-Duluth; Don Ness, Mayor of Duluth

With his new War, Inc. (which he co-scripted), a rollicking, surreal satire of recent US foreign and economic policy with an A-list cast including Marisa Tomei, Ben Kingsley, and (no doubt ending her career with Disney) Hilary Duff as a Middle Eastern version of Britney Spears, plus Cusack himself as a mercenary for a corporation much like Halliburton in a country much like Iraq, he goes way beyond Max. Beneath its black humor, bad taste, and explosive action, the film also explores such pressing issues as neo-con warmongering, the privatization of government, and the murderous consequences of both. These are subjects, I can tell, that Cusack is eager to talk about when I get him on the phone. But first I want to ask him a question that's been bugging me since I saw the movie.
Is it true that you dropped a scorpion down Hilary Duff's pants?
She dropped it down her own pants.
How can you do that?
I don't know, there wasn't any law against it in Bulgaria [where the film was shot], and Hilary read the script and she knew she wanted to do it. She's really game. She's like a pretty spirited wild woman. She's pretty great.
How do you avoid getting stung?
Well there's a scorpion wrangler in Bulgaria, which is a good job if you think how many scorpion wranglers could there be in Bulgaria. He's probably got the market cornered there. But he had these scorpions and he took off the poison stinger, or he somehow neutralized the poison stinger, and Hilary put that scorpion down her pants.
Pretty funny stuff. This is the only Iraq War film that is a comedy. Do you think that's why it's been more appealing to audiences?
Well, I think there's that, and also I think that there's two ways you can go. That there's this sense of inevitability about the whole thing, about Bush and Cheney and what they represent, which is this kind of 30-year movement from the far right to totally privatize everything that it means to be a state. I think people know that that's happening, but they have a sense of inevitability that this is the way things are and it's just too entrenched and it's so depressing what's happening and what America has been reduced to and the damage that's been done to our military and the damage that's been done to the image of America across the world. And it's very depressing, so when you finish work, you know, you might not want to be reminded of that in a very serious and somber way.

The power to seize and liquidate banks was based on Federal deposit insurance and the need for the government to be able to provide for an orderly close out of illiquid banks so that the overall stability of financial markets would not be destroyed as it was in the Depression. Today, the money system is much more complex. Bank holding companies that were basically established to circumvent state and federal regulation now have more of an impact on financial stability than traditional banks as the current crisis has made clear.
To protect the financial system, the federal government has stepped in to protect creditors of illiquid institutions. However, it has not had the tools to allow it to liquidate illiquid institutions forcing the type of abortion we have at AIG and could end up having at places like Citigroup. While we could theoretically allow these institutions to declare bankruptcy, that type of abrupt failure endangers the overall structure of financial markets as was illustrated by the failure of Lehman Brothers. It seems to me that we cannot afford to permit unregulated companies to play a central role in the operation of our national and international financial markets. Too big to fail means, I believe, to big to live without oversight. Part of that oversight requires that there be better mechanisms for managing insolvency in a way that protects the balance of the financial industry. If that existed now, AIG would now be out of business as it should be and Citigroup would probably be headed in the same direction.

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need
1. Attempt to seize control of census-Whitehouse control
2. Attempt to place salary cap on execs recieving Tarp funds-Whitehouse control
3.Attempt to stop bonuses for employees of companies recieving Tarp
money-Whitehouse control
4. Attempt to extend salary caps to businesses not recieving Tarp or Bailout money- Whitehouse control
5. Attempt to place high level of control on states recieving bailout cash Whitehouse control
6.Attempt to take over investment firms who are in trouble regardless of weather they are a financial institution or not Whitehouse control
HUGE power play for control by Obama, hell, who needs a Constitution when we have one man who is so brilliant and worthy
I just wonder who's power he will want to usurp tomorrow

So the FDIC should not take over banks that are in danger of failing either? I have a feeling that most of you would be giving an "Amen" to the government if they saved a bank in which you had over the FDIC limit.
The government's role is to keep us from running into the problems we had when Hoover was president. No one wants a company to be taken over if no one is affected (owners, shareholders, vendors). But, when a company's collapse potentially affects the entire U.S. economy, they need to do it.
Hoosier, it sounds like you would like U.S. air quality to be like that of Mexico City. Should we just let plants spew out emissions? Should we let plants dump toxic material into rivers and bays? Should we let people throw trash out of their pick-ups as they are driving down the road?
I agree with you on burning coal and clean-coal technology. Should we force businesses to pay for it or is that a government expense?

Pineapple, banana and mango transform your usual brownie into a tropical dessert! Grilled fruit and caramel topping make this a distinctive treat - ready in 40 minutes!
*If using bamboo skewers, soak in water at least 30 minutes before using to prevent burning.
Make the butter mixture, and transport it in a small container. Bring the cut-up mango and pineapple in a separate container. So the bananas don't turn brown, wait to cut them until you're ready to thread the fruit on the skewers and grill.
If you're going to serve this at home, try substituting sorbet, frozen yogurt or ice cream for the brownies.
Buy "green tip" bananas, which are ripe but still firm enough to withstand grilling. The grilling brings out the natural sweetness.

Banteay Srey - from just inside the outer wall
This GP is taken from the eastern outer wall surrounding the inner area of the temple.
Banteay Srey (one of many spellings) is part of the Angkor World Heritage Area whc.unesco.org/en/list/668
This particular temple complex is about 26km away from the main Angkor site, and well worth going to. Many other people think so, therefore, getting there as early as possible would be a good thing!
This temple was closed for a long time, until they were able to do some good reconstruction work. Some of the statuary was copied with the originals in the museum in Siem Reap.
