Part IV of our conversation with AMR chief executive Tom Horton focused on the future of regional carrier American Eagle and the progress the carrier has made so far in its restructuring process.
We also asked about US Airways and as you can see, Horton declined to comment on any merger possibility.
ST: Are we going to see more regional flying agreements with carriers like the ones you announced with SkyWest and Express Jet and in what markets do you think you will be taking flying away from American Eagle?
Horton: Well, don't know what markets yet. That will be determined over time but as we have said for a long time part of our strategy here is to diversify our feed and have more providers, not just American Eagle but other providers as well, which is consistent with the way the other big airlines in the U.S. operate. We have been unique in that the vast majority, almost all of our regional flying, has been with Eagle who is wholly owned by American , by AMR, and that's unique. So we're going to do that diversification and as you know we've talked over the years abut the merits of separating Eagle. In fact we were on that path before we took this other journey and I think once we come out the other side of the restructuring we'll go back and have a hard look at whether it makes sense to separate Eagle.
ST: So is a spin-off during bankruptcy off the table?
Horton: I think it would be too much complexity right now inside of the restructuring. We have bigger fish to fry.
ST: So when you look at your ASMs, you have been capped in the past in terms of how much regional flying American could have, what percentage of your total ASMs do you want to see flown by regional carriers?
Horton: What we've said all along is we're simply looking to make our company competitive and to be able to match the size of the airplane to the market much as our other big competitors have done with the flexibility that they have captured and so that's what this is about. That's what the new contract will accommodate. I don't know what the number is off the top of my head. It's just be competitive.
ST: The planes that you have contracted to use with SkyWest are still the smaller regional aircraft that analysts say are not as cost-competitive as the larger regional jets.
Horton: It depends on the market but what you'll see is that we'll move into the larger ones as well. That flexibility was contained in the tentative agreement we made with the APA which was market standard approximately and that's something we will need to have and will have going forward.
ST: Are you going to return any of the ERJs that you have, or are you going to keep all 216?
Horton: I don't know if we've been public on that. Let me put it to you like this. We have been in, as part of the financial restructuring, we've been in active discussions with BNDES and Brazil over the, how many of those Embraer airplanes we'll fly and at what rate because as you know bankruptcy is a big mark to market and it's a big negotiation. So we've completed that negotiation and it creates much better economics for our company. It also gives us better flexibility on how many and how long to operate which airplane.
ST: This hasn't been published in the court docket yet, has it?
Horton: No, not yet. The details of it are not yet public. But it will be.
ST: Will you be able to submit a restructuring plan to the bankruptcy court by the end of your exclusivity period on December 28?
Horton: Oh yeah. Yeah. I think we can do it. Now, we may. I wouldn't rule out the possibility that we seek an extension. But there is no reason why we can't have a plan filed by the end of the year.
ST: What is the status of the talks with US Airways?
Horton: Can't talk about it.
ST: Are you even talking to them?
Horton: Can't talk about it.
ST: You won't even confirm if you're meeting with them?
Horton: We have an NDA signed with them as you know and that accommodates the exchange of confidential information but beyond that it's not something I can comment on.
ST: When you say you can have a restructuring plan submitted to the court by December 28, is that a stand-alone plan?
Horton: That remains to be seen.
ST: You said you completed most of the financial restructuring. Are there operational restructuring issues that you are planning to do, aside from focusing your assets at your five hubs?
Horton: That's a good question, Mike. Let me put a little more color on that as I probably skipped over that too fast. When I say that we've completed most of the financial restructuring what I'm talking about is debt, aircraft leases, facilities, fleet optimization, grounding older airplanes, rationalizing the regional fleet in the BNDES negotiation and Bombardier as well, all of the supplier renegotiations. So we go through all of our supplier contracts and we hit the reset on those as well. And those are the things I'm talking about when I say we are largely complete. The savings we have achieved from those things have exceeded what was built in the original plan. And that's all public figures on what we originally anticipated to save.
ST: So what is it now?
Horton: It's better.
ST: By how much?
Horton: Not ready to disclose that. All I will tell you is it's better. And it's been a huge effort, an enormous effort. I think it has progressed at a very rapid clip after the bankruptcies before it. And I think the results have been very good. So that's the part that I'm talking about that is largely complete and I would add to that of course, labor is the other big piece of this. We have ratified agreements with 8 out of 9 of the specific workgroups that have a contract. So you've got I think 6 or 7 TWU groups and flight attendants, so I guess 7 TWU groups and flight attendants 1, so 8 out of 9, the pilots obviously need to be done. We completed tentative agreements or ratified agreements with all the Eagle workgroups. We just got the pilots ratified this week. So that's all big progress. We've done the restructuring of the management organization which I think you know about that resulted in 1,500 fewer positions and the leanest management team in the industry measured by ASMs, or basically if anything else you'd like to look at per head. And we've put in place the changes, or we're putting in place the changes that are for all of the non-union workgroups. So that's a lot. That's a lot of things that have been done or are now in the middle of implementation. So really the pilot contract is the most important final hurdle and I think upon reaching that agreement or not, we'll be prepared to put together the plan of reorganization.

Dedication to quality has been the foundation of Cat Pumps philosophy since first opening our doors in 1968. From initial design to materials and manufacturing, the central focus will always be providing the highest quality products possible to better serve our customers.
- Design
A superior product always begins with a superior design. From the very beginning, our first triplex reciprocating piston pumps introduced two revolutionary design changes to the high pressure pump industry, our patented sleeved-piston rod and our UNFLOW design concept. The sleeved piston rods permit servicing from the wet-end of the piston pumps, drastically slashing service time, eliminating expensive replacement parts and reducing overall maintenance costs. The UNIFLOW design of the piston pumps delivers a continuous, smooth forward liquid flow through the pump and offers strong suction capabilities.
To increase over-all life of our pumps, we have spent significant time and resources researching each individual component. Our proprietary spring reinforced, special lipped seal design offers 3-4 times the life than other seals available in the market place, while eliminating the need for packing adjustment. Components such as our concentric solid ceramics plungers, high strength connecting rods and oversized bearings are designed to withstand the most punishing applications, repeated cycles and continuous-duty operation.
- Materials
Even a flawless design can prove inferior without the use of quality materials. Over the years our product line has expanded to include materials such as:
- Brass
- 3150 Chrome-moly
- Zamak
- Nickel Aluminum Bronze
- Duplex Alloy
- High Strength TNM Alloy
- W770 Alloy
The use of all of these different materials ensure that we have a product available to provide the highest level of resistance to corrosion and wear, even in the most harsh environment.
We are also the only triplex, positive displacement pump manufacturer to offer concentric, solid ceramic plungers. Our concentric high density, polished surface have proven to withstand harsh pumping conditions as well as greatly enhance seal life. Our seals are made of a proprietary special blend material that provides unsurpassed quality in the marketplace. We also offer other special blend seal materials to meet any application need.
- Manufacturing
Cat Pumps manufacturing facility is ISO 9001 certified. We make use of the latest technologies and computer animated machining equipment to ensure each product is of the highest possible quality. We demand closely held tolerances and maintain a rigorous quality assurance program to guarantee a consistent quality product each time.
Each individual pump is factory flow and pressure tested as a final step in our quality process. We frequently take pumps from inventory and life test to ensure that each delivery meets Cat Pumps Quality standards.
These quality components and processes have provided optimum pump life of Cat Pumps' products since the very beginning, earning us the reputation as "the pumps with nine lives". Our heavy-duty industrial quality is evident in pumps that were installed 20-30 years ago still running today. Today we are still striving to improve our products and work closely with OEM's and specialty markets to incorporate custom features, tailored to fit your application needs.
Custom Pumping Systems are referred to by many names. They can be referred to as skid-mounted units, power units, pumping systems, base units, stacked units, pre-packaged systems, aggregates, horizontal pump unit, manufactured system, modular units, pre-assembled pump systems, fabricated systems or multiple pump systems.
Regardless of the name you use, Cat Pumps can custom engineer your industrial pumping system to meet your specific application and installation requirements. With experience in hundreds of different applications, our Custom Systems can be configured to meet any application demands. Each system includes all the required safety and pressure regulation valves to assure optimum performance and safety.

To conclude our week of exploring (a few) of the crew members on The Croods, let's take a look at the work of Gabriele Pennacchioli, who served as a story artist on the film.
Gabriele's blog is where you can see more of his personal work, such as his "Young Minotaur" character who battles all kinds of other creatures. He released a collection of these drawings as a book in 2008, which is still available here.
Scrolling further through his blog you'll also find some other spear-wielding people, panthers, a cyclops and all sorts of expertly executed cartoon drawings.

100 Posts – Time to Celebrate with Sausage Rolls and a Giveaway!
I made it! This is the 100th blog post for Nic Cooks. To be honest I never thought I'd get this far, I thought after the first few months of enthusiasm I would run out of inspiration and Nic Cooks would fade away into the the archives of the internet. But no, here I am, with more enthusiasm and ideas than ever to keep Nic Cooks going for another 100 posts and hopefully I will reach that milestone a little quicker than I did this one.
Really I would've liked to celebrate with a party, but the occasion snuck up on me unexpectedly so instead I thought I'd rustle up a special treat for a weekend lunch.
If I think of childhood parties I think of triangular white bread sandwiches and sausage rolls. I was never a huge fan of the sausage rolls though, because I didn't like the stuff inside that was masquerading as meat. Since I started making my own sausages I re-discovered this childhood party food, as they are a great way of using up the end of the sausage meat that gets stuck in the nozzle. The leftover sausage meat usually amounts to about 150g and although this small amount is enough to make some sausage rolls, it's just not enough and I'm always left wanting one or two more, so this time I am making sausage meat purely for the purpose of sausage rolls. It also means that for all of you out there that don't make your own sausages you can still give it a go. I opted for a slightly more grown up version of sausage rolls, flavoured with Port and Stilton. I have to say, they were quite yummy, but as a blue cheese lover, I will put more Stilton in next time, whereas Graham thought they were just fine as they were.
Then I started reminiscing a little further and remembered another party food that were mum's responsibility. Along with the Jane Asher inspired cake that always looked good, but never really tasted great, mum also made what we fondly referred to as "sweetie cakes". And you wonder why it took me thirty two years to get baking? Basically "sweetie cakes" are marshmallows dipped in melted chocolate with a Smartie on top. Very tasty when you're five, and fun to help make too!
And what's a party without party games and prizes? No games, I'm afraid but I do have my first giveaway for Nic Cooks; this is the first of many I hope to offer my readers over the coming months. I have become a RocketFuel Influencer and partnered with the guys at Rocketman Media to bring you this giveaway. The RocketFuel Infuencer program partners Australian bloggers with brands you want to share with your audience, providing opportunities for sponsored posts, campaigns and giveaways for brands that compliment your blog.
Rocketman Media are offering a $100 David Jones voucher to one lucky winner, and all you have to do to go into the draw is this: register as a RocketFuel Influencer mentioning Nic Cooks, between now and March 21, and the lucky winner will be picked at random after the closing date. The competition is open to not only food bloggers, but any Australian based blogger. To find out if you qualify click here. And don't forget, when you fill out your application form, to say you heard about the RocketFuel Influencer program from Nic Cooks.
Port and Stilton Sausage Rolls (makes 24)
350g good quality pork mince
50ml Port
1/2 tsp salt
cracked black pepper to taste
5g fresh sage leaves, finely chopped (about 12 large leaves)
1/2 tsp mace
50g breadcrumbs
35g Stilton Cheese
2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten
Sesame seeds for sprinkling (optional)
Put the pork mince, port, salt, pepper, chopped sage leaves and mace into the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on medium speed for five minutes until the texture of the meat changes to become sticky (like a sausage). Add the Breadcrumbs to the mixture and continue to mix until well combined ( about 2 minutes). Finely chop/crumble the Stilton cheese into the mixture and stir with a spoon to combine.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions (each should weigh about 130g). Lay the sheets of puff pastry out on the work surface with the plastic protective layer face down. Cut each sheet of pastry in half. Shape each portion of sausage meat mixture into a sausage shape the length of the pastry. Place the sausage lengthways along the centre of each sheet of pastry, brush one long side of the pastry with the beaten egg, then tightly roll the pastry over to conceal the sausage. There should be at least 1cm overlap of pastry to seal. Press firmly to seal and lay seam side down on a plate and place in the fridge for half an hour to rest and firm up.
Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Once the sausage rolls have rested, remove them from the fridge. Diagonally slice each roll into six pieces, brush with the beaten egg and place on a greased baking tray. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and gently score the top of each roll a couple of times so that they don't split as the pastry rises.
Bake in the pre-heated oven for 30 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm or leave to cool for later. Personally I like them straight our of the oven dipped in some chutney or ketchup.

OTTAWA, May 5, 2016 /CNW/ - The Mining Association of Canada (MAC), representing mining operations active in almost every Canadian jurisdiction, announced today it is making a contribution of $50,000 to the Red Cross in Alberta to support the families devastated by the wild fire that has ravaged Fort McMurray and surrounding areas.
"Fort McMurray is a major Canadian mining town. MAC members, several of which are active in the oil sands mining industry, wanted the Association to make this gesture of support. Doubtless countless Canadians and Canadian businesses will be doing the same over the coming days and weeks to help the individuals and families who have lost their homes," stated Pierre Gratton, MAC's President and CEO.
The Red Cross has launched the Alberta Fires Appeal for those wishing to make a financial donation at www.redcross.ca/albertafires.
About MAC
The Mining Association of Canada is the national organization for the Canadian mining industry.

Back in 1999 Moby, trekked to Indio, California, to perform at the first-ever Coachella: "I remember Paul Tollett, who's one of the guys who started Coachella, told me he had this idea of starting a festival in the middle of the desert," he recalls. "And it seemed like a remarkable idea, but in my short-sightedness I didn't expect it to work."
Coachella 2013: Rolling Stone's Complete Coverage
Sitting backstage at Rolling Stone's Rock Room 14 years later, you'd imagine the DJ and producer would feel pretty good about being wrong on that one. Moby took some time to talk about finishing a new record, a process he found incredibly liberating in the context of declining album sales.
"That way I can make albums purely for the love of making albums," he says. "My criteria for evaluating the music is: am I enjoying making it, do I love it, do my friends seem to like it? But there's no commercial criteria. 'Cause if there was commercial criteria, I'd be depressed."
Moby also talked about the difference between his techno-heavy DJ sets and his more nuanced, quieter original material, as well as getting bored with the repetitive nature of touring and why our chair just happens to remind him of 30 Rock.

On the Set: Pride & Prejudice
This past weekend, we fulfilled a family obligation: entertaining a 14-year-old girl. It's been awhile since we remember what that was like; and quite frankly, times have changed. In an effort to tear our young charge away from her vampire book for a minute (and okay, we MAY have wanted to educate her a little bit by showing her a love story that doesn't involve a 17-year-old vampire being "romantic" by stalking his girlfriend / dinner / whatever and watching her sleep), we popped in Pride & Prejudice starring Keira Knightley...and ended up checking out the set decor. Take a look at some photos from the movie after the jump!
Longbourne: The Bennet Family Home
Netherfield Park: The Bingleys Home
Other Shots...
If you hated the film version of Pride & Prejudice and prefer the BBC miniseries version, then check out Linda Merrill's Get That Look feature on her blog Silver Screen Surroundings.
P.S. Twilight fans, please don't send us hate emails (you can, however, vent here). You just don't see Mr. Darcy being a peeping tom and sneaking into Lizzy's window at the dead of the night to watch her sleep; and if he did, she'd probably scream bloody murder and promptly kick him out the window while threatening to tell Lady Catherine about his creepy behavior. Instead, he just looks at her across parlor rooms, which is a lot less scary and more socially acceptable.

Per a city noise ordinance, none of the buildings may be unlocked before 7AM. Please be aware of this and be respectful of The All Dogs Gym and Inn neighbors. If you arrive before 7, please try to limit any barking of your dogs while in the parking lot. Thank you.
All Dogs Agility will provide chairs for competitors in the agility arena but you may also bring your personal chair if you prefer. Please NO reclining or Lafuma type chairs, or chairs with a high back. Chairs will only be allowed in the marked areas so that there will be sufficient room for dogs and competitors to pass comfortably behind the seating area.
Please do not tie or leave your dogs unattended in the agility arena seating area.
Products applied to a dog's pads such as Show Foot or Tacky Paw may not be used in The All Dogs Gym. These products leave a residue that can damage the flooring. Thank you for your cooperation.
The All Dogs Gym and Inn is a busy boarding and grooming facility with lots of dogs and people coming and going, many of whom are not always aware of what their dog may be doing. PLEASE be aware of this as you are entering and exiting the building. Absolutely NO flexi-leashes are allowed inside the building.
For the safety of dogs belonging to competitors and clients of The All Dogs Gym and Inn, dogs may be off leash in the following areas only; at the warm-up jump, while in the agility ring or while in the fenced area behind the main building. Any owner of a dog found to be off leash in any other area (including the parking lot) will receive a single warning and after that will be asked to leave the property. No refund will be given.
Please do not park in the traffic circle in front of the building except briefly to unload. Also the parking spaces behind the Warehouse are reserved for the All Dogs Gym and Inn staff.
Crating for this event will be in the Classroom. Space is limited so please plan to stack crates. X-pens will be allowed, minimum of 2 dogs and they must have a secure cover. You may be asked to move your dogs if they are 'barkers'. The Classroom is very close to the main desk for The Gym staff and they need to be able to hear the customers they are talking with on the telephone.
A single warm up jump will be provided in the agility arena area. No other obstacles may be set up and/or used at the show site for training, warm-up or any other purpose.
There will not be a food vendor on site for this event. There are several fast food type restaurants within a short drive of the test site. Lunch as well as snacks and drinks will be provided for all competitors who volunteer to help out at the event. Thanks in advance for your help. We couldn't do it without you!
RV/Camper parking is available at the show site during the day only. NO overnight parking at The All Dogs Gym and Inn is permitted. RVs and campers are restricted to the 'center' parking spaces. Please pull through so that you use 2 parking spaces back to back. Be respectful of the limited parking, using as few parking spots as possible and do not extend your slideouts. Thank you!
No alcoholic consumption or open containers of alcohol are permitted on the grounds. Noncompliance could result in immediate expulsion from the event, legal prosecution under local law or both.
Entries sent by Fedex, Express Mail or other courier service will only be accepted if the waiver allowing delivery without signature is signed. The club will not be responsible for deliveries delayed if a signature is required.
No entry "For Exhibition Only" shall be accepted, except as provided for in Chapter 10 when Intro Program classes are offered. See additional note for club policy regarding dogs that measure up.
This event is sanctioned by the United States Dog Agility Association, Inc. ("USDAA").
This test is open to all persons with dogs being at least 18 months of age (14 months of age pursuant to Chapter 10 for Intro Program when offered OR for Sanctioned Match), regardless of pedigree or absence thereof, who have a current registration with USDAA and whose owners and the dog's handler are currently in good standing with USDAA.

The Organizing Committee of an event may refuse the entry of any competitor or dog for just cause should the Committee view that participation by the competitor or dog could be prejudicial to the sport. However, in such case, the Committee must notify the competitor in writing upon receipt of entry, but in no case, more than three days following the event closing date for acceptance of entries. The burden of responsibility for the appropriateness of such action rests solely with the host group and its Organizing Committee.
Any check or credit card that is charged back by the bank or other financial institution may be assessed a service charge of up to $40 per incident at the discretion of the host group.
Returned checks or credit card returns do not constitute a valid entry. Amounts shall be paid within 30 day of postmarked notice of the returned payment if such date follows the event date. Any fees not received within 30 days of notice will result in cancellation of event results for all classes related to the entry for which payment was made. No reinstatement of results is possible, and all awards must be returned within 10 days of notification or the dog's registration may be suspended pending restitution.
Any unpaid fees or shortfalls must be paid prior to the start of the event, or entry is canceled without recourse.
There shall be NO REFUNDS for entries withdrawn after the closing date for acceptance of entries, for absentee, dismissal from the event as a result of disciplinary action, dismissal from a class, or for any other reason. Also, no entry fees will be refunded if the event cannot open or be completed by reason of riots, civil disturbances, acts of terrorism, fire, "act of God", public emergency, strike, or any other cause beyond the control of the host organization.
A dog or handler which suffers an injury or illness or bitches that come into season after the closing date may be eligible for a refund of 50% of their total entry fee. Requests for said refunds must be received IN WRITING and be accompanied by appropriate documentation from a vet or doctor on their stationery or letterhead, verifying the reason for said request. All requests must be received by the Test Secretary before the end of the event on Sunday, June 25th.
Competitors earning a qualification during the Event that is needed to complete a title may advance their level THE NEXT DAY at the same event, i.e. move-ups on consecutive days ARE allowed.
Competitors are responsible for keeping accurate records of their qualifying scores and the judges from whom these scores were earned prior to this event to ensure that the dog is eligible to move up based upon scores earned at this Event. Competitors are advised to confirm scores earned with the scorekeeper and judge at the conclusion of a class to ensure the qualifying score has been accurately calculated and awarded in accordance with regulations. If for any reason it is determined that the score or previous scores were inaccurate, making the entry ineligible for the higher level class, any results (including awards) shall be forfeited and the entry will be deemed invalid without refund or other recourse.
Move-up forms supplied by this event must be used to notify the secretary BEFORE she leaves the site the day on which you earn your title.
The address for overnight entries (UPS/FedEx) is Kim Tees, 42 Blueberry Point Rd., Raymond ME 04071. For Express Mail through the USPS please use PO Box 388, Raymond, ME 04071. If you send your entry overnight mail, please be sure to waive the signature requirement.

Entries with a valid (READABLE) e-mail address will receive a receipt of entry confirmation. Those entries without e-mail addresses will receive a Final Entry Confirmation ONLY that will be sent via the USPS AFTER the entry closing date.
If an e-mail address is included on your Entry Form, you will receive your Final Entry Confirmation via e-mail unless you specifically request otherwise.
Entry fees are payable in US dollars only. Please check your math closely when you write your check. There will be no refunds for overpayments. Entry Forms submitted with an underpayment of entry fees are not a valid entry and may be returned via USPS.
Entry fees will be deposited on or near the closing date. Please plan accordingly.
Please make checks payable to All Dogs Gym. Please check your Final Confirmation for a link to access printable Competitor Running Orders before the trial.
All dogs not jumping 24" in the Championship Program or 20" in the Performance Program at local and regional events must be measured unless they have permanent USDAA or World Cynosport Dog Registration status or a temporary card with 3 signatures as required by the regulations, making the dog eligible for their jump height (prior to 3 years of age). Please note that only dogs 18 months of age and entered in the event may be officially measured.
Per USDAA Policy, ALL competitors MUST check-in with the Trial Secretary (or their designate) BEFORE their first run of this event.
Self Check-in will be available for those competitors that send (or have previously sent) a copy of their permanent jump height card with their Entry Form. A printout of your Competitor Account from the USDAA web site indicating your dog's height has been certified is acceptable as well. Copies of Temporary Cards (the blue paper ones) with 3 measurements/Judge's signatures are now acceptable for Self Check-in.
Check-in WITH measuring is tentatively scheduled from 1:15 to 1:45 on Friday and from 7:15 to 7:45 on Saturday and Sunday. If your dog needs to be measured please plan to arrive during these times. Please have your blue temporary height card with you when you have your dog measured. After your dog is measured you MUST bring your signed height card to the Trial Secretary (or their designate) at the scoretable and check-in. This MUST be done before your first run of the day.
Dogs entered in the Intro Program classes that are under the age of 18 months SHALL NOT have measurements recorded should measuring be available at an event. ONLY an approved Advanced or Masters-level judge of record OR an Advanced or Masters-level judge hired for measuring purposes may measure an entered dog 18 months or older AND record that measurement on a temporary height card. A temporary height card sent to USDAA containing one or more of the required 3 measurement(s) prior to the age of 18 months will be returned so that the measurement process can be completed per regulations.
A dog NOT entered in the trial is ineligible to be measured.
If a judge's measurement of a dog at check-in establishes that the dog is ineligible for the height class in which entered, the competitor may
Because entry into a higher height is permitted in the Performance and Championship Programs, a dog measuring lower may not be moved to a lower height in either program.
No leads, collars, food, toys or other aids or devices shall be permitted on the course at any time, except as provided for in Chapter 10 when Intro Program classes are offered, or in Chapter 8 when Junior Handler Program classes are offered.
Competitors alone are responsible for the behavior of their dogs, children or guests. A competitor whose dogs, children or guests create unnecessary disturbances or repeatedly engage in unsafe or disruptive behavior may, at the discretion of the Event Organizing Committee, be asked to leave the test site.
In the event of a larger entry, fault limits may be set at the discretion of the Organizing Committee and/or Judge without pre-event notice.
Confirmations will be sent via email using the secretary's address. If you have a spam blocker on your email account, please configure it to allow email from the secretary's address since confirmations will be sent from this account.
One or more titling classes shall be held at this Event from those described in Chapters 3 - 8 of USDAA Official Rules & Regulations, which are downloadable from www.usdaa.com/rulesReg_eBook.cfm, and any amendments there to, which are downloadable from www.usdaa.com/rulesReg.cfm, each of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
Dogs entered as partners in pairs relay at this event may be combined without regard to jump height, i.e. a mini dog may be entered as a partner with an open dog. Any pair consisting of at least one open dog must qualify in accordance with the QCT set forth by the judge of record for Open Pairs AND will be considered an open pair for placement purposes.
One or more tournament classes are being held at this event, the rules and description of which may be downloaded on the Internet at www.usdaa.com/gen_formDoc.cfm, and are hereby incorporated by reference. A written copy may be obtained from the Event secretary.
Veterans level classes offered at this event are open to a competitor with any dog that is at least eight (8) years of age as of the first day of this event. Previous experience in the sport sufficient to establish proficiency and confidence in performance is strongly encouraged. Once a competitor has earned a qualifying score with a dog in a Veterans class, the dog is no longer eligible to enter that class in the Championship or Performance Programs when a Veterans class is offered. Complete program rules can be found at www.usdaa.com/rulesReg_eBook.cfm which are downloadable from www.usdaa.com/rulesReg.cfm
The Intro Program is designed to help new competitors measure their progress in training and to acclimate to the fundamental elements in dog agility competition. Competitors with dogs that are at least fourteen (14) months of age and have not earned a title in the Championship, Performance or Veterans programs are eligible unless entered in the same class on the same day at the event in the Championship, Performance or Veterans programs when Intro Classes are offered at a regular event.
Obstacle standards shall be the same as in the Starters Class with exceptions noted in Chapter 10 of the regulations, as amended. See http://usdaa.com/rulesReg_eBook.cfm on USDAA's web site for details, which are incorporated here by reference.
Performance standards for the Intro Program Classes are the same as in the Starters level except as modified by special rules for each class as detailed in Chapter 10. Qualifications earned are accumulated toward title certification in each class - Standard, Jumpers, Gamblers and Snooker - and overall for a versatility title.
A competitor who is otherwise not eligible under the regulations for entry to the Intro Program for titling purposes may enter the Intro Classes for exhibition only ("FEO") at the clubs option, provided they are not also entered in the same class type in another program (i.e., Championship, Performance or Veterans). An FEO round is ineligible for qualification, prizes and awards. Non-audible toys held in hand may be utilized in an FEO round.
The FEO competitor may opt to run the course utilizing regulation A-frame heights as provided in Chapter 10 of the regulations, as amended July 1, 2016, for the Intro Program. See http://usdaa.com/rulesReg_eBook.cfm on USDAA's web site for details, which are incorporated here by reference.

Luis Antunes, an old friend from the eRobertParker Bulletin Board, broke the news in the Wine Spectator. His article began, "The Fladgate Partnership, which owns Port producers Taylor, Fonseca and Croft, has just purchased Real Companhia Vinícola do Norte de Portugal." Let's just say that really caught my attention, after having interviewed both CEO's, Adrian Bridge and Pedro Silva Reis (with Zev, Life on the Douro). Kudos to Luis for being the first to report this story.
For those of you who've not had a chance to read it yet, you can read the article on the Wine Spectator site: One of Port's Biggest Players Grows Bigger.
In emails to Adrian Bridge, to check on the accuracy of the claim that the company had indeed been purchased and also to satisfy my curiosity of whether RCV's Port or wines had been included in the deal, Adrian responded (and agreed to allow this to go on the record): "Roy, this has nothing to do with the port so no stocks or wood was included."
Additionally, Adrian helped to clarify a few other points:
"We have not bought RCV. What we have bought are the installations in Vila Nova de Gaia where we have been a tenant since 2008 for part of our bottling lines. By becoming the owner of the site we will now place all our bottling on that location, provide bottling services to RCV and we will rent space to them to continue their business. They will be restructuring their company to reflect the changes. They are now paying us a rent. Being able to buy such a large, ready to move into, set of installations so that we can gain major cost efficiency in year one is unusual. Owning another 23 acres of a city centre with great road connections is a sensible long term investment.
"From our perspective we gain a massive site that will allow us to concentrate our operations and free up more space, over time, in the historic centre of the city. We had purchased a site in Avintes to merge all our lines into a new set of buildings in 2015 – that project will now not happen and the Avintes land will be sold. This is about setting the company up correctly for future generations.
"It is important that you understand that RCV will continue to function as an independent company with extensive land holdings in the Douro and a major focus on table wine. A number of other Port companies that have bought other businesses in the recent consolidation have yet to merge their bottling lines. I expect that we will see more of this. It makes good sense."
Congratulations to: The Fladgate Partnership on their progressive purchase in Gaia!

A thrilling battle is in store on day two of Rally Italia Sardegna after Sebastien Loeb completed Thursday's pair of stages leading Citroen team-mate Mikko Hirvonen by a tight margin of 1.1s.
Loeb, who clinched his ninth FIA World Rally Championship crown on the previous round in France, was fastest on the first run through the 28.14-kilometre Terranova test south of the event base in Olbia. However, he was unable to prevent Hirvonen from going quicker when the stage was repeated in fading light this evening.
It's a great battle with Mikko and I was having to push really hard in the stage.
The fear of dust had prompted Jari-Matti Latvala to opt to run at the head of the field after the Finn topped the Qualifying Stage times this morning. The Ford pilot reasoned that time lost cleaning the road of the loose surface gravel on stage one would be cancelled out when the stage was repeated due to the fading light and likelihood of dust restricting vision. While it was virtually dark by the time Loeb and Hirvonen - running fifth and sixth on the road respectively - completed the test, there was limited hanging dust.
However, a broken front-left wheel, caused by striking a chunk of bedrock 10 kilometres into stage two, was of more concern to Latvala, who is 42.1s behind leader Loeb in sixth overall.
Petter Solberg is the leading Ford driver in third, although the Norwegian said that his decision not to run with an auxiliary lightpod on stage two had cost him valuable seconds after the stage start was delayed by eight minutes.
With no split times being fed into his Qatar World Rally Team Citroen, Thierry Neuville admitted it was hard to judge his pace on the first stage. But the fourth fastest time on stage two enabled him to climb from sixth to fourth.
Mads Ostberg was fastest after the opening three splits of stage one but contact with a stone and a spin left him with bent steering and a time loss in his Adapta Fiesta. He completed stage two with a broken cross member in fifth.
Chris Atkinson suggested a rear handling imbalance had prevented him from pushing on the opening stage in his MINI John Cooper Works WRC. He's eighth overnight and planning set-up changes in an effort to catch Evgeny Novikov, who holds seventh for the M-Sport Ford team.
Ott Tanak put his substantial time loss down to his decision to run on hard compound tyres when all of his rivals with the exception of Martin Prokop, opted for the soft compound option. Prokop, meanwhile, reported significant brake wear after the first stage and a strange noise from the rear of his Fiesta on the second run.
Andreas Mikkelsen moved ahead of Volkswagen Motorsport team-mate Sebastien Ogier on stage two after the Frenchman picked up a rear puncture. Luca Pedersoli is 14th on his first run in a Citroen DS3 WRC with Brazilian Paulo Nobre one place behind in his MINI.
Friday's route covers six stages over a competitive distance of 117.36 kilometres with the action getting underway with the 29.68-kilometre Monte Lerno test at 08:43hrs local time.

According to a new report released by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) evidence exists that the national problem of metal theft might be decreasing.
The report reviews metal theft insurance claims from January 1, 2011, through December 31, 2013.
In 2011, a total of 14,676 metal theft claims were processed. The number dropped to 13,603 in 2012 and decreased again in 2013 to 10,807 – a decline of over 26 percent from 2011. During this period, 41,138 insurance claims for the theft of copper, bronze, brass or aluminum were handled – 39,976 of them (97 percent) for copper alone. When the number of metal theft claims per month and monthly average copper prices are compared, the number of claims filed is found to have a statistically significant correlation with the price of copper.
NICB's previous report on metal theft reports Ohio ranked first of all the states generating 4,144 metal theft claims. It was followed by Texas (2,827), California (2,489), Pennsylvania (2,345) and Georgia (2,067).
The top five core based statistical areas generating the most metal theft claims were New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA (1,725); Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN-WI (1,386); Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD (1,200); Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, GA (1,198) and Dallas-Ft. Worth-Arlington, TX (948).
While this report deals exclusively with submitted insurance claims, the ultimate impact of this activity falls, to some degree, on all consumers. Losses to businesses and government entities are shared with customers and taxpayers through higher costs for goods and services and/or reductions in services. Moreover, depending on the circumstances of the theft, these incidents may not generate an insurance claim, or even a police report. Consequently, comprehensive empirical data is elusive.
Public awareness often drives necessary legislative activity, which enables law enforcement to better perform its functions. In 2012, Ohio passed legislation which requires scrap metal dealers to obtain identification from scrap metal sellers and prohibits cash payments to scrap metal sellers. Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed a similar bill into law as did Colorado. While metal thefts continue, the downward trend shown in this latest report may be attributed, in part at least, to these cumulative efforts.

Mackenzie Thorpe at Legends Gallery
Please join us for an evening with UK artist Mackenzie Thorpe on Saturday, May 6th from 6pm to 9pm.
Fine Art of La Jolla
Please join us for an evening with UK artist Mackenzie Thorpe on Saturday, May 6th from 6pm to 9pm.
"High Tide" by local artist Katey Kalanges. Original acrylic with mixed media on canvas, 36 x 36 inches. Katey uses a variety of colors and added texture to create organic abstract work.
Legends Gallery is pleased to showcase the 25th Anniversary Portfolio Collection of Dr. Seuss's final publication, Oh, The Places You'll Go!
Twenty-five years have passed since Dr. Seuss's final words to us were published. At the time, we didn't know these would be his last—but he knew. His biographers, Judith and Neil Morgan, would later write: "There was never any doubt that Ted considered Oh, the Places You'll Go! his farewell salute, his last parade, Mulberry Street gone worldwide."
Dr. Seuss, when pressed during interviews, always said that the message his books had in common was "hope." This was never more evident than in Oh, the Places You'll Go! For this final book, Ted gathered his favorite unpublished sketches, pinned them up on the cork walls of his studio and then set about finding a way to make them connect. The result was the most powerful graphic work he had done in many years.
When Oh, the Places You'll Go! was published in 1990, it quickly appeared on The New York Times "adult" best-seller list, where it remained for more than two years. Ted's great joy was getting Random House's weekly ranking in the Sunday Times Book Review. After 1.5 million copies had been sold, Ted exclaimed: "This proves it! I no longer write for children. I write for people!"
Ted's perennial best-selling book, Oh, the Places You'll Go!, has sold more than 11,000,000 copies to date. The Arabic numbered print edition for this portfolio is limited to just 295 copies.
Nine expertly crafted works, adapted from Dr. Seuss's original concept drawings, are all presented within a specially designed collector's case, alongside an introductory letter from Audrey Geisel, a rare photograph of Ted in his studio, and excerpts from his original manuscript.
In total, this commemorative portfolio includes:

This gluten free vegan chocolate peanut butter pie is (no joke) amazing!! A chocolate cookie crust is filled with creamy chocolate peanut butter mousse which in turn is topped with a crisp layer of chocolate ganache. Peanuts and chocolate shavings make this easy pie look fancy and who doesn't like a fancy chocolate peanut butter pie? Jump Straight To The Recipe
I never made it to the Girl Scouts. As a matter of fact, I never even made it to a second Brownie meeting. At the time, sleeping outside seemed like something only a crazy person would do. As a result of my tent-phobic-tendencies, I never had the experience of hocking those tasty little discs known as Girl Scout Cookies.
My parents liked to support the local kids no matter what they were selling, from magazines to raffle tickets to those "World's Finest Chocolate Bars" (with almonds, ALWAYS)! But Girl Scout Cookies were always the best door-to-door treat. Thin Mints were the household favorite with Tagalongs being a close second. What's not to love when you talk chocolate peanut butter cookies ?
Though it's been many years since I've had a Girl Scout Cookie, I love what the Girl Scouts stand for and I like to buy a box or two for friends when cookie season comes. I don't usually lament the fact that I can't eat Girl Scout Cookies, but this year, the craving hit as soon as I saw the Girl Scouts outside of our local farmers market. I bought a box for my neighbor thinking I'd forget about my silly chocolate peanut butter craving, but it stuck.
So, I did what any self-respecting food blogger would do, I made a Tagalong-inspired gluten free, vegan chocolate peanut butter pie. This decadent tart has a thick cookie crust, a silky and velvety chocolate peanut butter mousse (soy free!), and a crisp dark chocolate top. Basically, it's the best gluten free, vegan chocolate peanut butter pie ever! As a matter of fact I could just leave out the gluten free and vegan qualifiers and say it's the best chocolate peanut butter pie I've ever had!
I shared it with friends, including a picky eater and a killer chef and they both agreed, it was amazing. Joshua went into a crazy chocolate peanut butter-induced frenzy. He ate a serious amount of this chocolate peanut butter pie. Luckily, we had an extra one in the fridge, so I was able to have a slice and still share some with friends.
Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie
Now, this is not exactly health food, but it is a bit lighter than your typical dairy and egg filled mousse pie. The vegan chocolate peanut butter mousse is made from cashews and coconut milk and is free of refined sugars. Butter is out; coconut oil takes its place and the results are fantastic.
This recipe will make two 4 x 14 rectangular tarts or one 9-10 inch fluted tart. Need a tart pan? Try these: Rectangular Tart Pan or 9.5 Inch Round Tart Pan
Be sure to soak your cashews to get a nice smooth mousse. The chocolate ganache topping will be crisp like Magic Shell (remember that stuff?!!) and will shatter when you remove the tart from the pan. If you want a perfectly smooth top, you can allow the tart to set completely before adding the ganache layer and then gently remove it from the pan, add the ganache, and then cool in the refrigerator for another 20 minutes. Personally, I love the cracked top and the visual interest it provides.
Vegan Chocolate Cookie Pie Crust
2 cups gluten free and vegan chocolate cookie crumbs (from about 8-10 oz of cookies)
2 tablespoons coconut sugar
½ cup melted coconut oil
Instructions for Crust
- Preheat oven to 350º
- Thoroughly mix cookie crumbs with sugar and coconut oil. Press firmly into tart pan(s) that has been greased with coconut oil. Using a flat bottomed glass, even out the cookie crust and press it partly up the sides of the pan.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes- until crust starts to smell toasty. Cool all the way before filling
Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse
- 2 cups raw cashews, soaked in filtered 4-24 hours and drained
- 1 15 oz can full-fat canned coconut milk
- ½ cup natural cocoa powder (I used TCHO brand)
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 droppers of liquid stevia (I use Sweet Leaf Vanilla Creme)
- 1 cup coconut sugar
Instructions Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse
- Combine cashews, coconut milk, cocoa powder, peanut butter, stevia, and sugar In the bowl of a food processor or high speed blender. Process until completely smooth.
Vegan Chocolate Ganache
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 4 oz chopped dark chocolate (72% or higher)
Ganache Instructions
- Melt coconut oil in a heavy bottom sauce pan and add chocolate. Stir frequently until completely melted. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before adding this layer to the pie.
To assemble
- Spoon half of the mousse into the prepared and cooled tart shells. Use an offset spatula
or a butter knife to smooth the top.
Add the chocolate ganache and gently smooth with the offset spatula. Refrigerate for four hours or up to overnight.
- When ready to serve and unmold the tart, rest on the counter for about 20 minutes before trying to remove from the pan. The chocolate will have stuck in the flutes of the tart tin. To loosen them, use a small sharp knife. Don't worry about cracking the topping when you remove this from the pan. The cracked top gives visual and textural interest!
Once unmolded and ready to slice, top with more chocolate shavings and some chopped peanuts or even some non dairy whipped cream.

By now you've probably heard that GTA V is coming to the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. So far, we haven't heard about any version-exclusive bonuses… but apparently there is at least one on the way.
In an interview with Kotaku, a PlayStation representative hinted that there might be more incentive to buy the game for the PS4 than for other consoles.
Kotaku: I there anything to that particular deal or that particular offering that will make it better-suited to play on PS4 instead on any other platforms?
Koller: I don't think we announced anything publicly on that, but there will be.
That's about as specific as it got. His next statement was even more vague, as when Kotaku attempted to clarify that there was an unannounced PS4 bonus for GTA V, he just said GTA V "will be something very special on PlayStation."
This could mean just about anything. An item, DLC, a special bundle, a PS+ trial… the possibilities are wide open. What do you think it is?

Despite the deluge that hit North Carolina, the opening and artist's talk had a very nice turnout. So very proud to have this exhibition at Flander's Gallery and to be a part of the Click Triangle Photography Festival. I have edited a bit of the installation and artist's talk into this video for those who were unable to attend. Enjoy. Bryce
2016 Daylight Photo Awards
I am so thrilled and honored to have just been selected as a Juror's Pick for the just announced 2016 Daylight Photo Awards.
My work was chosen by none other than the inimitable WM Hunt! Who had this to say:
"It's true. Bryce Lankard was indeed my 2016 Daylight Photo Award Juror pick for his work in his "Drawn to Water" series.
I looked at it, and it made me grin each time I went back to it, a strong edit of well seen images with a sense of childlike wonder, classically sensitive, seemingly well printed, etc.
Great stuff."
Drawn to Water is a featured photo essay in the Summer 2016 issue of Southern Cultures.

SCOPE: The Southern Landscape
I am very honored to have had an piece of mine selected by juror Marshall Price for this wonderful show at the VAE in Raleigh. SCOPE features variations on the southern landscape; looking at the region through the eyes of its artists. Works feature visual interpretations of metropolitan, coastal and rural areas of the southern states.
from the interview with the juror, Ph.D Marshal Price, Nancy Hanks Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Nasher Museum of Art:
Q What is your broadest definition of landscape work?
A The idea of the land, or landscape, is one that transcends mere representation in art or literature and is an inherent part of the American consciousness. Since the years of the early Republic, the land has played a tremendous role in providing artistic inspiration, shaping governmental legislation, causing violent disputes between factions, furnishing economic opportunities, presenting a perceived resource to be consumed, and even serving as a spiritual metaphor. My early graduate education was focused on artists of the Hudson River School and I'm interested in the changing strategies and approaches to the land by artists since that time.

Lori Vrba's art trifecta in the triangle
I am pretty sure she never sleeps. Without a doubt she seems to always be working. This month Lori Vrba has THREE VERY LARGE art happenings here in the triangle. The release of her first monograph, The Moth Wing Diaries, has been published by Daylight Books. I doubt it will be her last. I have been lucky enough to have held a copy in my hands. It is a lush and beautiful art object by itself and contains a wonderful and elegantly designed collection of her photographs.
That would be enough for most people. Not Lori Vrba, who also has not one, but two exhibitions this month. The first has opened at Daylight's Project Space in Hillsborough and is also called The Moth Wing Diaries and greatly reflects the look and feel of the book. The second opens this Sunday, April 12th at the historic Horace Williams House in Chapel Hill. It is called Drunken Poets Dream after another large body of work.
Both of these wonderful exhibitions contain unique presentations of photographs, assemblage, and installation in Lori's distinctive style. Each offering speaks to the other and to the book in such a layered and personal way. This dialogue promises to give a viewer who has made the effort to take in all three a great sense of the depth and range of Vrba's voice. It is this honest and southern and feminine and introspective viewpoint that has brought Vrba much of the attention she has received. Lori credits moving to North Carolina and living in Chapel Hill with much of the inspiration and landscape that permeates her imagery, but most of her exhibitions and acclaim have come from elsewhere, other states and other countries, most notably in her native Texas. These two exhibits give our area an all too rare chance too bear witness to a special talent, to one of our own. Do yourself a favor. Go. See.
3rd Friday Artwalk @Golden Belt Durham 3/20/15 6-9pm
Blink of an Eye
Greetings one and all,
I am pleased to announce that this month I have moved into a new space at Golden Belt Studios in Durham, NC. I am looking forward to seeing what comes of this social and arts experiment. I hope to produce new work in a space surrounded by friends and artists, and to share work, both new and old, with the public. I am very excited to take part in my first 3rd Friday art walk. My friends Warren Hicks, Heather Gordon and Ben Bridgers will all be here in their studios, and taking over the building will be Rachel Herrick and her great "Northern Obeast" project. To inaugurate this space I have pulled out a large selection of work from my project "Blink of an Eye" to showcase. Large parts of this have been exhibited around the country, but never in one single chunk.
blink of an eye - a very short time (as the time it takes the eye to blink or the heart to beat); - an indefinitely short time.
Blink of an eye, and it's gone.
This body of work examines moments and places we can often take for granted - those we think will always be around, and then, in the blink of an eye, can be gone.
This project is my personal response to the events surrounding both 9.11 and Hurricane Katrina. Having been saturated with images of destruction, the intent in "Blink of an Eye" is to examine a more psychological and emotional response to a sense of loss, dislocation and isolation. I have used toy cameras and the soft, gauzy look they provide in order to create images depicting more of a sense of nostalgia, tinged with sentimentality and even optimism.
I feel that this notion of loss can be applied to physical objects such as buildings or cities, but also to more ephemeral concepts such as summertime, mortality and youth. My photographs reflect these recurring themes through iconic childhood and leisure-time subjects such as playgrounds, carnivals and midways, such as the final days of Coney Island, quiet moments, and off-season vignettes. By occasionally using double exposures and image sequences arranged out of order I also want to cause a sense of discomfort and disruption.
In the days of Dean
After listening to much heart-rending testimony the past couple weeks on the life and life force of the late Dean Smith, I have been motivated to dig out a few old prints from the archives. I was lucky enough to have been a student and photographer for a great stretch of Dean Smith's Tarheel teams. I got to see the last game at Carmichael, which wasn't, in fact, the last game. And the first in the Dean Dome. I was blessed to see many great opposing players, foes like Ralph Sampson, Jay Bilas, Spud Webb, Johnny Dawkins and Len Bias. But even more blessed to photograph and witness many Tarheel greats like Sam Perkins, Brad Daugherty, Michael Jordan, Kenny Smith and more. We were fortunate to learn to shoot our color slides in the "sports illustrated" style, which meant we mounted studio strobes in the rafters of Carmichael and synched them by direct pc cord to one camera. These images are not those however, these are the Tri-X pushed to 1600 available light images. A few quick scans and not spotted. I hope you enjoy.
Off the Radar: Artists at Golden Belt
I want to thank Heather Gordon and Warren HIcks for inviting me to do a show installation at the Golden Belt Studios this month. It was the first chance that my project "Transience" had a life outside of its portfolio and got on some walls. I also added a kinetic piece that was site specific and finished editing a short companion film called "precipitate" that ran during the opening. It was a real joy to participate and I would also like to thank all those that came out on Friday.

Lack of detail on what currency sharing means may bedevil a newly independent Scotland, writes Bill Jamieson
What is full fiscal freedom, exactly? And when we get our hands on those coveted "economic levers", how far could an independent Scotland really push and pull them?
These were among the questions Bank of England Governor Mark Carney chose not to address with any detail in his carefully crafted speech in Edinburgh yesterday.
He cannot have been comfortable handling that fizzing grenade of the referendum campaign – the mooted shared currency proposal for an independent Scotland. He deftly set out the arguments for a shared currency without taking sides. But he also clearly set out the many caveats and conditions that would be required to make it work.
And the message was clear: together, these would impede to a considerable extent on the notion of "full fiscal freedom". And that may prove as difficult to swallow in the rest of the UK as in an independent Scotland.
From the inception of the SNP's long march for independence, the currency issue has been central to the credibility of the referendum campaign. That is why the meeting yesterday between First Minister Alex Salmond and Mr Carney attracted intense attention. Would this at last turn the key in the lock and resolve the myriad of uncertainties and unresolved questions that crowd the Yes campaign's proposal to share the pound?
What limits and constraints would be placed on an independent Scottish treasury? How would banks be supervised? Would there be a separate and unique Scottish input to the Bank's interest-rate-setting monetary policy committee?
For committed nationalists, all these must seem second-order issues to the question of whether we wish to see Scotland as an independent country. Even more so, surely, are all those "technical issues" that Mr Salmond was keen to emphasise were at the centre of discussions with Mr Carney at their breakfast meeting yesterday. Can it really be that detailed matters such as the arrangements for banking regulation and the mediation of fiscal and financial risk asymmetries in a sterling union will be decisive issues for voters in the approach to 18 September?
Yet it is imperative that currency sharing arrangements are agreed in detail and expectations adjusted in advance. Currency arrangements have long bedevilled countries that sought independence, as well as those who sought currency union. It took decades for Ireland to arrive at its separate currency. The Czechoslovakian monetary union in 1993 lasted just 33 days. Speculative activity put enormous pressure on the arrangement and indeed, such activity in 1992 drove the UK out of the Exchange Rate Mechanism – a debacle from which the Conservative government never fully recovered, even after 18 years.
More recently, arrangements for currency union have proved no less vulnerable to setback. The impact of the global financial crisis on the European single currency exposed severe weaknesses in a scarcely tested and vulnerable monetary union arrangement. Mr Carney spelt out how dramatic the consequences proved. Between 2010 and mid-2012, peripheral European countries experienced outflows of between 10 and 85 per cent of total deposits from elsewhere in the euro area. Interbank lending rates rocketed. Bank lending to the real economy collapsed and credit conditions tightened massively.
At the height of the crisis, markets were not at all certain that the euro was economically or politically durable. As it is, critical issues on fiscal integration, the drive for oversight and limits on tax, spending and borrowing to a central authority, together with banking supervision and monetary policy remain unresolved.
The complex system of Maastricht Treaty rules, sanctions and penalties to keep member country deficits and debt within prescribed limits broke down entirely. Now the heads of the European Council and European Commission are wrestling to build mechanisms to share fiscal sovereignty. "The degree of fiscal risk sharing", Mr Carney pointed out, "is likely to be significant."
But that is easier said than done. This week, concern has returned to the fore that Germany's constitutional court may stymie proposals for European Central Bank bond rescues for Italy and Spain. It is seeking to stop the Bundesbank from taking part in the ECB plan. The German court may rule that it is illegal as designed. Expert witnesses say the ECB's bond plan violates the Lisbon Treaty and Germany's Basic Law. In its submission to the Constitutional Court, the Bundesbank has argued that the ECB has no mandate to uphold the "current composition of monetary union" or to "rescue states in crisis".
This tussle is being closely watched here, as many in the rest of the UK will be apprehensive about the Bank of England's role as lender of last resort post a vote for independence. Extensive and robust supervision and controls on both rUK and an independent Scottish Government will be required.
This is the background to Mr Carney's conclusion yesterday that "a durable successful monetary union requires some ceding of national sovereignty". He added: "It is likely that similar institutional arrangements [to those in the eurozone] would be necessary to support a monetary union between an independent Scotland and the rest of the UK."
Today we are witnessing a further outbreak of currency turmoil across developing country markets amid nervousness over expected changes to central bank policy. Mark Carney's experiment with "forward guidance" has not gone well as the fall in unemployment has been sharper and more swift than the Bank expected.
Investors have been fleeing smaller and emerging country markets to repatriate money to perceived safer havens. Markets can be unforgiving of currencies where they perceive may be at risk of structural faults and uncertainties over fiscal and monetary policy.
Mr Carney was anxious to stick to technicalities and to economics. But what his speech made abundantly clear was that it is by no means an economic or technical matter alone: political commitment to a shared currency arrangement is also vital.
If financial markets perceive that a currency union is not economically or politically durable, or only a transitional arrangement, then speculative activity can put immediate pressure on the arrangement.
As Professor Brian Quinn, former head of supervision at the Bank of England, made clear last autumn, a shared system of banking supervision would encounter difficulties at the level of both individual financial institutions and the financial system with, in particular, serious weaknesses in governance and accountability.
And, once an independent Scottish Government adopted economic policies that differed from those of Westminster – the very point of the SNP's case for independence – then these flaws, he believes, would increase in severity.
As a result, it seems "very likely" that the Bank of England would judge Scottish financial institutions – notably its banks – to have become riskier and apply higher regulatory requirements to protect depositors and investors.
Whatever else can be said about currency sharing, this much is clear. Scotland (and the rest of the UK) has set out on a steep learning curve about the meaning of sovereignty and its limits. In a world of massive international trade links and volatile global flows, is the pursuit of full fiscal freedom a chimera? Mr Carney has warned us that it is set to prove so.
