God Love Controversy
You'll fall in love with me, promise.
I don't share my info. Just know, I'm a boy who dreams & dedicates life to succeed.
God Love Controversy
Slide into her DMs like
"It's like… everything seems fine, but it doesn't feel like it."
Snippet of the poem I will be performing next week at bus boys and poets. Mother fucking DC has begged for me to come again and speak real shit. So ima come and speak wrong shit just to make the people hate that they love me.
"I like to believe that the heartless care the most simply because they crave the characteristic in which they lack in order to feel normal."
"I speak in what I like to call an adhesive language, it will stick to your heart."
"Powers not in the people. People don't have power they have emotions. Power to the emotionless. You can't start a movement when you are motionless."
I told God I was tired of walking, So he took my legs from me.
I told God I was tired of hearing this bullshit from people, So he took my ears from me.
I told God I was tired of helping, So he took my hands from me.
I told God I was tired of talking when no one listened, So he took my mouth from me.
I told God that I was tired of being back stabbed by own people, So he took my back from me.
I told God I was tired of breathing this hate and negativity polluting our air, So he took my nose from me.
I told God I was tired of feeling pains in my chest from love and losing it, So he took my heart from me.
I told God I was tired of thinking of what I should do with my life, So he took my brain from me.
I told God keep my eyes cuz being blind was amazing.You can't miss what you didnt have. And you can't believe if you didnt see.
"You'll never land on your feet if you're not willing to jump."
"You don't really know you; not until you've spent more hours a day conversing with yourself, than with others, is when you'll know you."
It's crazy how hate works; it's like love in a way. You focus all your energy on that specific thing or person that your life becomes entirely integrated with that thing you're focused on.
"It's not too good to be true, it's true you just never had anything this good."
She is the ruler. Nobody is above her. She is the government. No time for her love, I'm under, her Matriarchy. She run it. She, she, she run it. She run it all. She is the Queen I am her peasant.

PLAYERS: Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton
Hall of Fame SHOWTIME Boxing Analyst Al Bernstein says that a fight featuring Miguel Cotto at Madison Square Garden is one of the most unique and exciting spectacles in sport. Bernstein will be ringside at MSG on Saturday, December 1, to announce the battle between WBA Super Welterweight Champion Austin Trout and Cotto. The fight will be seen on SHOWTIME. "I just did Ricky Hatton's comeback fight at the MEN arena in Manchester, where the crowd and atmosphere is amazing," Al said. He added, "That same energy and zeal for a fighter is seen at the Garden when Miguel Cotto fights there. I can't wait to experience it." Al points out that this fight is not a one-man show. "Just as Vyechislav Senchenko silenced the crowd in Manchester in upsetting Hatton, Austin Trout wants to do the same in New York. Trout has never lost as a pro and brings a tricky left handed style into this fight. He is rightfully the underdog, but he believes he can be more than a suppor...

View Full Version :
Senior Bowl Thread
First practice to be posted tonite
Please do not post in this thread
Welcome to Pittsburgh Kansas for day one of the West Team Practices...
First we see the QB's...
Crail Johnson threw nicely, when staning in the pocket. His footwork, especially when rolling out looked like it needed work. But he also showed that he is willing to learn and got better as the day went on.
Cody Redman really showed off his physical tools. He was able to guide deep balls with near perfect accuracy and looked good on the mid range and short balls too.
Boomhauer looked average passing, but was quickly able to develop good chemistry with his recievers.
Now off to the RB's...
Leopold Carmichael looked great until somebody touched him. That was the hard part for defenders was getting a hand on him because of his elusiveness. But ussually when they did he went down relativly easy. Looked good catching balls.
Bill Robinson this year's NCAA coverboy gave scouts more questions than answers. He displayed good power, but also poor speed. Especially on runs to the outside. Then he got hurt, probably a result of his high pad level.
Joe Jackson, like Leopold looked great until somebody touched him, but was also hard to get. Definitly a Reggie Bush type who will either get no yards or a TD.
Tank Rogers, Joe Jackson's other half, looked great running the ball, maybe the best West RB out there today. Also looked good as a lead blocker. Did drop some balls though.
Reggie Moss was used creativly today. Running reverses, which is actually where he looked his best. It seemed he had a tough time breaking jams. Also it doesnt seem as though he is making many friends, because of his cockiness. Broke tackles and got YAC yardage very well though.
Jesus Sanchez, like Reggie Moss wasnt making too many friends. Displayed great hands, but also like Moss had a tough time against jams. Left practice early with minor injury. Should be fine for tommorow.
Jammal Hicks, didnt get much seperation, but made some acrobatic catches that really wowed scouts.
Rod Tidwell, dropped his stock considerably today, dropping balls and failing to get much seperation.
Jan Itor, the white boy WR from Grambling, did great on the deep routes and the fly's, but on shorter routes struggled to get open. Definitly a big play threat.
Earl BuckApple didnt do much outside the redzone, whereas inside he was a complete beast, leaping over defenders for touchdowns.
Clarke Kent did great as a blocker and effectivly picked up YAC. Struggled with his routes though and wasnt able to get seperation often.
Now for a commercial break...
Ryan Minister promotes healthy food for kids.
Leopold Carmichael, sexy on and off the field...
Jack Utah: "Listen to your kids if they want to join the Army. You made them strong, we'll make the Army strong."
And we're back with the Olinemen
Bryan McCarthy looked the best out of the tackles, but no one really stood out.
Hannibal Mitchell showed athleticism, but failed to display consistency.
Bill Dauterive looked the best out of the West Linemen. Showed power and bull dozed peopled. Or as his friends call it "Bill-Dozing." Lacks stamina though. Looked great on one-on-one drills.
Tim Jones looked strong, but footwork was off. Took coaching well though.
Erik Dirks is definitly not the sharpest tool in the shed. Constantly forgot assignments in what is a simple gameplan. Looked good when he blocked someone, ussually the wrong person though. Did great on one-on-one drills.
Taylor Moore looked good, but not great. Also got reps at RT and did fine. Looked average on one-on-one drills.
Jay Ferrell entire day was a dissapoint. From one-on-one drills to working with the whole line. Stay away from him.
Onto DE's...
Jared Jenkins showed great explosion, but was over powered a few times and didnt show too many moves. Worked hard and the West coaching staff thinks they can turn him into a better DE by the end of the week.
Chris Turner despite recording 16 sacks this year, Turner is definitly a project, but has big boom potential. Needs to get bigger. Was constantly overpowered.
Will Ross seemingly dropped weight due to the flu. Lacked explosion, but was able to play through the pain.
Onto DT's...
Calvin Cazayoux apparently he doesnt know what it means to get over powered. If only his leverage was better, then maybe he would be an elite prospect. Has been taking coaching well so far though. Fights till the whistle blows... twice.
Andre Krimm showed good technique, needs to get a little bit stronger though. Great explosion.
Antwan Stephenson expolded off the line well, but displayed poor techinique and leverage.
Jason Blackwood proved his strength. Could make a nice 3-4 end.
Seth Harris' favorite is the one with nuts!
"Growing I would save all my money for a bar of Hershey's" said Seth in a Hershey's chocolate bar commercial.
Welcome back to Pittsburgh Kansas, where we are checking out the LBers
First is Chad Reed, who has been a freak all day. He has been caught out of position at times, but overall has played well. Also did a good job of blitzing.
Micah Clowe has been Reed's opposite. He hasnt stunned scouts with freak-like athleticism, but has shown great instincts and smarts. He and Reed have developed a bit of a friendship, despite their opposite ways of play.
Carl Allen has shown he is a great tackler, but not much else. Has done a poor job of covering TE's and RB's.
Bobby Boucher has been an animal flying to the ball. He may not always make the hit, but he'll always be there.
Terry Tynes hasnt been getting along with coaches and it has shown on the field.
On to DB's
Quentin Pryor has tried hard, but is struggling. When asked to jam guys at the line he got beat several times. When playing guys off he was a beastly. Made one pick, and returned it a good ways.
Adrian Taylor hasnt looked good from a mental standpoint. Hasnt helped much in run support. He hasnt been beat very badly and has done an okay job at jamming at the line.
Galaga Jones was allowed to practice despite having to go to court soon. Was by far the best CB out there today. Threw recievers of their routes using his legendary jam techinque. Shows great recovery speed even in the few instances he was beat. Has done an excellent job in run support. Allowed only 2 catches during one-on-one drills. Hasnt really listened to coaching though, but he probably doesnt need to.
Tom Jefferson has played smart and displayed good technique. Has dropped some picks. And has been beat deep a few times.
Orrin Jordan has struggled to cover TE's and WR's in man to man coverage. Has played fairly smart and has really layed down the law to recievers going over the middle.
Anthony Harrell has proved he is athletic and a great hitter, but technique and instincts seem poor. Has worked hard and done well considering he hasnt played college football in 2 years.
Ryan Minister he sure did talk a big game, but did he deliver? Has done well playing like an outfielder and has done a great job of snatching balls out of the air. Has allowed guys to get behind him and beat him deep. Has done a great job of covering TE's in man to man coverage. Was eventually kicked out of practice though after mouthing off to Pete Carroll. Minister later apoligized and says he will make up for it in the senior bowl.
Rick Ross has shown that he packs a punch for a little safety. Has done a poor job covering TE's though.
Welcome back, today in Joplin, Missouri we will be observing the East team
First QB's
Jack Utah had a commanding pressence and was well respected by teammates. He did very well on the short and mid range passes. Some of his deep throws fell short though, and his deep ball accuracy was questionable. Mechanics were uncanny, but they appear to work for him.
Nate Strozier was charging people for tickets to the gun show today. He showed up to the Senior Bowl, ripped. And it really showed when he threw the ball. Dude has an absolute cannon. Needs to control his arm abit and make better decisions though.
Joe Marino may not be the most accurate QB or have the best arm, but no one has a quicker release. He displays almost perfect mechanics and footwork and gets the ball out quicker than anyone and makes good decisons.
Onto RB's
Marcus Lucas didnt seem to get along to well with coaches and eventually they stopped giving him reps. Looked average as a runner, but looks like a great reciever out of the backfield.
Red Buttkiss hit the holes hard. Showed great power and broke through arm tackles easily. Great vision in the open field. Did almost everything right, except for some ball carrying issues.
Julian Washington showed good patience and speed. Unfortunetly he left practice early due to an elbow injury. Doesnt look very tough.
Brown Taylor did a great job of pushing the pile. Fought for every yard. May not have great speed but he broke off some big runs. Knows how to take a hit and keep himself from getting hurt. Not a big fan of blocking.
Onto WR's and TE's
Rocky O'Callaghan was a force in the redzone, but struggled running routes. Has good speed and can out jump most defenders. Needs to add weight and get stronger. Injuries nagged him throughout practice.
Kevin Malone had a great day. Coaches were impressed with his toughness and his ability to get YAC. Had one bad play though when he beat a CB during one-on-ones, but dropped an easy TD pass.
Forrestt Gump is probably just a straight KR. Was able to beat guys deep, but has Todd Pinkston-syndrome.
Jimmy Sanderson ran good routes. Dropped some easy balls. Looked average.
Ricky Bobby maybe a little bit chubby. Struggled to get seperation. Made some tough catches.
Alex MacDonald looked very good to be frank. Blocked well and was able to get YAC.
Cole Phillips, MacDonald's long time other half also looked good blocking, but struggled to get seperation.
Adrian Taylor starts every workout by drinking myoplex!
Verizon high speed internet works as fast as Kevin Malone
"Sniff...sniff...dayum i smell good"
-Reggie Moss
Avon's new Touchdown by Reggie Moss
Jack Utah's long time backside protectort, Ronald Weasley looked great. He really proved he can play with the big boys. He did get a little overly aggresive, but overall a solid day.
Jamaal Durant on the other hand didnt prove he could play with the big boys. Definitly needs work, project player.
Fred Palowski exploded off the line well. Needs to get a bit stronger though.
Randy Hickey looks strong and works harder than almost anyone. Needs to work on his footwork. Coaches are bringing him along nicely though.
Danny Patterson was very quick. Looks like a good fit for a ZBS.
Dillon Mayes played OG and he ussually plays OT. Looks strong and aggressive, but shows poor work ethic.
Alan Stone shows the speed to get to the LB. Good leader and smart. Not very strong.
Maurice Hunter had to play C and OT. Looked better at OT. Very strong, poor footwork.
Onto Dlinemen...
Jamaal Umenyiora may not be the strongest DE out there, but he shows good explosion, technique, and is a hard worker. Quality player.
Cory Thompson is almost the opposite of Umenyiora. He stuffs the run well and is very strong. Also has a great motor. Could be a great 34 DE.
Deandre Townsend is physical freak, but doesnt play up to his potential. Somewhat lazy and has an incosistent motor.
Dicky Doss weird name, serious football player. Great explosion and fairly good strength. Inconsistent motor.
Joseph Resuac shows amazing quickness and explosion. Needs to get stronger though to hang with the big boys.
Stanley Hudson may not be real big for a DT, but clogs space well.
Larry James is also a space clogger, but many people question his work ethic.
We now move to LB's
Jimmy Thompson is a powerful hitter who plays smart and shows good work ethic. Needs to get stronger to shed blocks though.
Seth Hawkins they dont call him the hammer for nothing. This dude knows how to take someone out of the game. Really needs to work on his coverage techniques and may have Ahmad Carroll Syndrome.
Samuel Carr has all the physical attributes you look for in a LB. Some question his football intelligence though.
Deuce McCormick is another small school stud. Not very big, but packs a punch. Good in coverage. Not effective at shedding blockers, and sometimes goes for the knock out hit.
Brendan Tate is big enough and strong enough, but may not be fast enough.
Onto CB's...
Seth Harris shows all the physical attributes, but needs to work on his technique. Looked good in one-on-ones bumping WR's and throwing them off their routes.
Bobby Sampson also needs technique work. He could also get a bit faster.
Tim Wilson, Seth's longtime teammate, looked decent. Not very fast, but has great technique. Good size. Will drop picks though.
Chris Turk is one of the better tacklers at the CB position. Needs to either drop a little weight though and get faster.
Desmond Sanders worked as both a CB and S. Looked good at both. He's a real playmaker and got a few picks during one-on-one's.
Randy Samardzija is a tough player with a great work ehtic and good technique, but may be too slow.
Kenny Merriweather is a physical freak. Looked average in one-on-one drills. Great tackler, and plays zone coverage well.
Randle Washington is another freak. Excellent hitter who forces fumbles. Will let WR's get behind him though.
Marshall Faulk: Hello and welcome to the 2008 Senior Bowl, Im joined in the booth by the one and only Primetime. Mr. Deion Sanders. Now Deion who's your Defensive players to watch for on the East and West.
Deion: On the west look out for Ryan Minister, he has something to prove after getting kicked out of practice. In the East, you know I wanna say my boy Desmond, but I'll pick a guy on the Dline, Joseph Resuac. Part Man, Part Beast. Marshall, who your two guys on offense.
Marshall: Look out for Red ButtKiss, he's out to prove that a little RB from Temple can hang with the big boys. On the West team look out for Reggie Moss, he's a very dynamic playmaker.

-Moss in motion, Johnson hands it off to Bojangles who flips it out to Moss, but Jimmy Thompson is in the backfield, Moss turns back around but is gonna get stopped for a 5 yard loss by Seth Harris. (Good job in run support by Seth Harris, making up for that last play)

-Johnson throws to Robinson in the screen, and he gets up to the 16 yard line for a 7 yard gain.
3rd and 8 at the 16

3rd Quarter
West Ball to start the half, 17-13 East
Jan Itor gets the kick at the 3 and takes it to the 31
Joe Jackson's first 3 carries were explosive and got two first downs, but after that he seemed worn out. Boomhauer then led the team downfield using short passes to get a FG. 17-16 East.
Julian Washington came in and did okay. But Joe Marino threw a pick to Ryan Minister, which Minister turned into a TD. 23-17 West.
Julian Washington would catch a screen for 39 yards and he began to carry the offense down the field for a FG. 23-20 West.
Boomhauer once again led a drive with short passes. It was capped off by a TD catch by Joe Jackson with Tank Rogers leading the way. 30-20 West.
Marino looked better on the next drive but they were forced to punt after a sack by Jared Jenkins.
4th Quarter
At the start of the 4th Crail Johnson led a methodical drive that ended in a Bill Robinson touchdown at the goaline. 37-20 West
A good return by Gump gave Utah and Co good field position and they took advantage. Utah would throw a fade to O'Callaghan for the score. 37-27 West
Carmichael's first run on the next drive went for 12 yards, but he then got hurt and the West punted 3 plays later.
Nate Strozier was able to get the East into opposing territory, only to almost throw an interception to Orrin Jordan. The east was forced kick a FG. 37-30 West
Onside kick was recovered by Ryan Minister. And three good runs by Tank Rogers and Joe Jackson sealed the deal and Boomhauer took a kneal.

part 3
it's been a day, a week, a month, a year,
but these stories are immortalized in your mind:
1. never trust a girl with lips redder than her blood.
2. do not forget, the faye cannot lie.
3. people often see ghosts where memories hide.
lousia's mother, anna was a pre-school teacher
who donated 10% of her earnings to charities
and said holy grace before each meal.
she never wanted children but no one gets
what they want out of life.
2 years ago | 45 notes
lousia's father was a simple man, who married
not for love but for stability. his eyes were a dark brown
and his lips faintly smelt like burnt caramel.
anna, who hated sugary sweets of any kind, came to like the taste.
andie's father was a 22 year old veteran,
with lean muscles and sharp teeth that nipped and licked
at anna's throat and the soft spot below her collarbone.
his eyes were very very blue and his hair was very dark,
a pleasant difference from her husbands. he was a janitor at the school
and they met twice a weekin the supply closet in the basement.
two months after andie was born with a flop of dark hair
and too blue eyes, anna ended her affair with a goodbye fuck
and a swear that the kid wasn't his. her car was hit by a 18 wheeler
an hour after. no one knew whether it was an accident
but the truck driver swears she pushed the brakes too late.
lousia's father slowly withered into himself and died soon after,
of an aneurysm, specifically a coarctation of the aorta,
which means his heart severed it's involvement with his brain.
he seemed to have fallen in love with anna after all as many people had before.
lousia and andie were orphans at ages 2 and 2 months, respectively
and soon forgot the parents they never really had. thankfully,
anna's father was willing to care for the children in his home in maine
and these events that happened before the children could speak,
started and ended their lives entirely.

"This is the deepest and one of the best recruiting class we have had in our 22 years here at Rutgers," said Reasso. "I have to give a great deal of credit to my outstanding assistants, Jeff Zaun and Pedro Lopes, for their hard work in securing this group. Our goals for this class were to get bigger, stronger and faster and we believe we have accomplished those goals. We have a number of players in the group who will have an immediate impact on our program."
The class includes four players off the Bethesda Alliance club team that made it to the Final Four in the U-17 club team National Championship, coached by Graham Ramsey, highlighting a group that also includes three top players from Pennsylvania as well as standout players from Georgia and New York. The class is further augmented by a Junior College All American and a pair of outstanding prospects from New Jersey.
Lubos Ancin was a First Team All-State goalkeeper by the Star Ledger and a First Team All-League honoree by six different newspapers. He was the MVP of the Rutgers Elite Camp in the Summer of 2002 and a First Team All-Burlington County pick as a junior in 2001. A native of Slovakia, he moved to the United States in June of 2001 after starting in goal for the Slovakian National Champions in 2000-2001. A member of the Slovakian Youth National Team in 2000-2001, Ancin played club ball with the Medford Strikers (2001) and FC Coppa (2002).
"Lubos learned his goalkeeping skills when he played for the Youth National team in Slovakia," said Reasso. "He has adjusted to life in America very quickly and is an outstanding student. He is a fierce competitor who has the potential to be an outstanding Division I goalkeeper and compete for the starting job right away."
Ricardo Arenas played the last two years at Mercer County Community College in West Windsor, NJ, where he captained the team and led it to the National Final, finishing second. He was named to the Final Four All-Tournament team and also a Junior College All-American selection. Areans, a native of Guatemala, has played for its U-17, U-20, and U-23 National team. He also has appeared once for their full National Team.
"We are delighted that Richi is joining us next year," said Reasso. "He is an outstanding player with International experience. He can play a number of positions, is big and strong and is a very skillful left footed player. We expect him to make an immediate impact on our team with his leadership, experience and his playing ability."
Tommy Birch was named to the All Regional Team in 2002 and earned All-State and Mid-Penn Player of the Year honors. He was a three-time Liberty Division Player of the Year and a three-time First Team All-League selection. A two-time member of the Patriot News Big 11, Birch was also named to the Carlisle Sentinel All-Star team three-consecutive seasons, earning Player of the Year honors in 2002. A member of the US Youth National Team from 1999-2001, Birch was also a member of the US Region 1 Team and played with the Super Nova Premier Soccer Club.
"Tommy is a fierce competitor and a leader," said Reasso. "He is a player who is comfortable playing just about anywhere on the field. I am very confident he will have a big impact on our team as a freshman."
William Chiles was an All-Met pick as a senior in 2002 and an All-Gazette, All-County and All-Star selection in Montgomery County. An imposing presence in net (6-3, 210), Chiles had five shutouts, a 0.50 goals against average and allowed only three goals all season. A member of the Springbrook varsity basketball team as well, Chiles played for the Bethesda Magic AAU team, which was a national qualifier in 2002. He played club soccer with the Bethesda Alliance and was a member of the Regional team for five years and the ODP program for six.
"Billy fits the mold of our team getting bigger and stronger," said Reasso. "He is a truly exceptional athlete who will come in and compete for the starting goalkeeper position as a freshman."
Brinker Dailey, whose final high school season will take place this spring, has played in back-to-back final fours at Wesleyan High School. He earned All-County honors as a junior in the spring of 2002 after scoring 27 goals in 18 matches, receiving team MVP honors. Dailey also plays for the United Quest Club for the past five years, leading the team to a state championship in 2001 and most recently in 2003. A three-sport standout, Dailey also competes in cross country and basketball. His older brother, Reid, is a goalkeeper at St. John's University.
"Brinker is an outstanding athlete who is a big midfielder that covers a lot of ground. He is brave and can score goals from the midfield," said Reasso.
Jared Komar was a four-year starter in goal for FD Roosevelt and averaged nine saves per game as a senior in 2002. He was a First Team All-Conference pick in 2002 and a two-time All-League selection in 2000 and 2001, adding honorable mention status as a freshman and sophomore. The Poughkeepsie Journal named him a Second Team All-Star in 2002 and a honorable-mention pick in 2000 and 2001. A member of the Region I ODP team in 2002, he also played two seasons in the USSF Y-League, placing sixth overall at the 2002 Nationals.
"Jared is a Regional caliber goalkeeper with excellent skill and understanding for the position," said Reasso.
Larry Mark was the DeMatha Player of the Year in 2002 after scoring 37 goals and adding 26 assists in his career, including 19 and 7 as a senior in 2002. He is a two-time WCAC (Washington DC Catholic Area Conference) selection and a 2002 All-State performer. He was named the Prince Georges County Player of the Year in 2002 and earned All-Metro honors from the Washington Post. He was also an NSCAA All-American in 2002. As a member of the Bethesda Alliance club team, Mark won the 2002 State Cup championship and the 2002 Region I crown.
"Larry is a very talented athlete who can play a number of positions," said Reasso. "He is a very good student and the type of young man we want to build our program around."
Tamer Mohamed is a two-time All-Queens and All-City selection, earning All-State honors from the CHSAA in 2002. He was the 2002 CHSAA Player of the Year, helping his team to the City Championship and a state finalist spot last fall. He also played on a City and State Championship team as a sophomore in 2000. Mohamed played club ball with the East Meadow Hawks, which won the 2000 state championship and the 2002 Capital Cup. He is also a four-year member of the NY state ODP team.
"Tamer is a gifted player who possesses the skill and athletic ability to be an outstanding Division I player," said Reasso. "He has a wealth of potential."
Lexton Moy is a three-time all-league honoree, earning player of the year honors in 2002 and league MVP honors on two occasions. He scored 34 goals in his career and added 41 assists. Moy played club soccer for three seasons with the Merrick Red Storm and was a four-year member of the state ODP team. He is a three-year member of the Regional team as well.
"Lex is a charismatic young man and a very talented and experienced defender," said Reasso. "He is quick and tenacious – two skills that will make his adjustment to the college game much easier."
Jason Pelletier was a four-year starter on the varsity and is the school's career scoring leader with 194 total points (66 goals, 62 assists). He also holds the single-season assist record with 34 in 2002. Pelletier was named to the Patriot News Big 11 First Team and was selected to the Central PA All-Star squad. A First Team All-Division pick, Pelletier anchored the 2001 PA State AA Champions. He played seven seasons with the Super Nova Football Club and also played with the Region I ODP team that competed internationally in France. A member of the Eastern PA ODP team since 1997, Pelletier played for the 1999, 2001 and 2002 Region I champions and will compete for the ODP National Championship in Texas in 2003.
"Jason is a very versatile player and can help our team at a number of positions," said Reasso. "He has very quick feet and has Division I skill."
Warren Richards was an All-Main Line pick in 2002, as well as a First Team All-League selection. The team's leading scorer in all four of his varsity seasons, Richards owns the school record for goals in a game with five. He also lettered in track and field at Friends' Central, finishing second in the state on the prep level in the 100m, 4x100 and 4x400 relays. Richards played club ball most recently with the Council Rock Soccer Club.
"Warren is a left sided attacking player who can beat people," said Reasso. "He is blessed with speed and skill and will play up front or as a winger for us."
Adam Sternberger amassed 78 goals and 29 assists during his three-year varsity career, including 25 goals and four assists as a senior in 2002. A three-time All-CAL pick, Sternberger led his team to the Group 3 State Championship in 2000 and 2001. He was a First Team All-Atlantic City Press and Courier Post pick in 2001 when he registered 33 goals and 10 assists. A member of the Pittsgrove club team from 1997 to 2002, Sternberger also played with the Match Fit Academy Crew, earning MVP honors at the Disney Showcase and posting state championships in 2001 and 2002.
"We are delighted that Adam has decided to attend Rutgers," said Reasso. "Adam is very quick and can score goals. He is very competitive, can play up front as well as on the wing and should make an immediate impact on our team."
Alieu Terry was a first team All-Gazette and a Second Team All-Met pick in 2002. He entered the season as the top-ranked player in the area and scored nine goals with seven assists in a shortened, seven-game senior campaign. A three-year varsity starter, Terry led his team to the 4A West Region semifinals in 2002. He played his club soccer with the Bethesda Alliance and won the 2002 Regional Championship and was a member of the Maryland ODP team for the last three years.
"Alieu is an outstanding athlete and a tough defender," said Reasso. "He is a left sided player who should come in and fight for the staring spot right away."
Daniel Waldo was a four-year varsity starter at Walt Whitman High School, which was nationally-ranked in both 2000 and 2001. Waldo guided his team to the 2002 State Championship and was named All-County, All-State and All-Met (Washington Post) last fall. One of only two players to start all four years at Whitman, Waldo anchored a defense that gave up only eight goals in 2002. During his four-year varsity career, the team posted 25 shutouts, an average of 6.3 per season. A member of the Bethesda Alliance club team, Waldo also won the Region I title and state championship in 2002.
"Danny is an outstanding leader and player," said Reasso. "He has captained his high school team to the State Championship and captained his club team to the National Final Four. We expect him to come in and fight for playing time right away."

Would you ever know? The infatuation I have, the love I could give the pain you would remit!
I am envious of your ignorance whilst I live in the suffering of personal and outer knowledge
And who would care for a dwarf out of home and out of pocket scruffy and mad a born loser
Sad, but not in sorrow, give me distractions any I plead to take away one minute
One moment of me.
What use I have that to be a burden to all who associate with this stench this assertion
Lost in fearful anxieties avoiding truths hiding.
And blinding the confrontation of thy anything but me I can deny
A hermit of hurt of spellbinding atrocities everyday a infamy rifled in my own unpleasant mystery
Forever alone until the day will pass could be a long morrow or half a century ,though fast
Take me away from other mutual beings I don't belong with them and they couldn't see it
Even a broken flint can apply one spark, am I society's jester here for a laugh
Or just a Halfling if that including height couldn't protect a fly in flight
A chisel of might chipping away impossible to sight almost invisible
What happened where did I go? Was it the drugs or just the lows?

This is the latest Gallup poll showing that LGBT people are less likely to be religious because of intolerance or unacceptance.
Feel free to share your thoughts.
I think about this a lot. My old church practically kicked me out. When everyone who is supposed to be godly and Christ-like sends a message of hate, it's easy to give up on your faith. I wish there was more of a gay Christian community around me :/
Whoever claims to love God and hates their neighbor is a liar. How can you love God whom you've never seen and hate your neighbor who you see often?
Why abandon your faith because of people who do the opposite of what Jesus taught us? Our faith is in God.
If there's no affirming community where you live, create one. It can be as simple as a weekly Bible study at a coffee shop. Start it and it will grow.

Visiting St. Louis
- n
- NomadPlanet Oct 3, 2009 05:48 PM
My wife and I will visit St. Louis for a weekend in mid-October. I'm looking for any suggestions for moderately priced restaurants (breakfast through dinner) with particular interest in neighborhood or institutions that are frequented by locals.
Thanks to all who may be able to help!
re: DetectDave
We'll be staying downtown at, I believe, the Marriott. We will have a car with us as well and don't mind driving a bit if necessary.
When you say you are looking for an institution visited by locals, Iron Barley pops into my mind immediately. Requires driving I-55 south from downtown, but it is still in the city.
You didn't say which Marriott you are staying at, and you didn't say exactly what days you will be here, but if it is the Marriott at Union Station and if you are here on a weekday morning, try The White Knight on Olive and 18th. A hygenic pre-fab from the 1920's.
Pappy's Smokehouse, in the St. Louis University area, has terrific barbecue--by far the best I've had here. It's an easy drive from where you're staying. You're probably better off at lunch, only because they are known to run out of some items by dinner on occasion. Also, Blues City Deli has received high marks on this site, although I can't vouch for it personally. If you're interested in Vietnamese, you might head down Grand and visit Pho Grand or Banh Mi So #1.
When we viist St. Louis (we used to live there), we often have breakfast at Kopperman's in the Central West End. Huge menu, but we usually get the potato pancakes and homemade applesauce and the eggs benedict with smoked salmon instead of Canadian bacon. Fun neighborhood to wander around, too.
For lunch or dinner, we like Arcelia's, a Mexican restaurant on Lafayette Square. Our favorites there are the sour cream (white) enchiladas, and the Chile Colorado. While Arcelia's isn't much to look at, it's in a neighborhood of beautiful Victorian-era homes. If you're feeling indulgent, walk a block or two to Bailey's Chocolate Bar. My husband is addicted to their chocolate martinis!
From Union Station it is a very short drive to one of the most picturesque neighborhoods in St Louis: Lafayette Square. It has the primo wine bar called "33" (note there is no sign so bring the address with you: 1913 Park Avenue). Very close is Ricardo's, renowned for its Italian food. Also close is Bailey's Chocolate Bar. All 3 are a few steps apart.
Nadoz for Brunch (www.nadozcafe.com)
There are also a lot of restuarants in the Loop nieghborhood that you may want to check out www.ucityloop.com, specifically Pi(http://www.restaurantpi.com/), which has became famous since the President ate there last year.
When you say institutions here's what comes to my mind:
Crown Candy Kitchen- Lunch -True corner malt and sandwich shop-Chocolate malt and turkey melt or blt
Imo's-Lunch or dinner-True St. Louis style thin crust pizza with provel(an aquired taste) There are better versions elswhere and much debate on this topic
Ted Drewes Frozen Custard-Dessert or snack-The original frozen custard stand in St. Louis
Blueberry Hill-Lunch or Dinner-Rock n Roll themed bar and grill but been around for years
Amighettis-Lunch-Italian sandwich- Again there are better places but this is the original.
Someplace for toasted ravioli-Can be found at almost anyplace that is italian or bar food for that matter. Much debate on whose is best or if they are really that good.
Park Avenue Coffee-Breakfast or snack-The restaurant isn't an institution but the gooey butter cake they have is. Multiple flavors but the original has been around in many bakeries for decades.
As mentioned some of these aren't considered the best restaurants but they are institutions and one or more of the food items they serve is considered quintissential St. Louis food. BTW all of the above mentioned are moderately priced. If you do want to go high end a few of the top restaurants are: Niche, Erato on Main(Edwardsville IL), and Sidney Street Cafe.
Good luck and good eating
re: STLLifer
Thanks, everyone...this info is exactly what I'm looking for! Any other suggestions are certainly still welcomed before next weekend... ;-)

You might also want to check out the Eat Rite, profiled today in A Hamburger Today: http://aht.seriouseats.com/archives/2...
re: STLLifer
STLLifer, don't know how I failed to mention Amighetti's! Be sure to go to the "original" one on The Hill, St, Louis's "Little Italy". http://www.amighettis.com/ Charming, old-world neighborhood. If you go for lunch on Saturday you can listen to the live jazz band. Get the Amighetti's special sandwich. The ingredients are not special---but the combination of them with the freshly-baked bread is! Save some room for a cannoli.
Alan you are right, it's been too many years since I've been rolling back from the East side at 3 am and stopped for a slinger so I had forgotten that ritual but there is nothing better at sopping up alcohol than a slinger.
Nomad, building on what Anne mentioned. If you are interested in seeing St. Louis from a food perspective then there are a few places you may went to visit during the day as you hit some of these restaurants.
The Hill- It's all about italian. Probably the most well known neighborhood in St. Louis. Stop in to Viviano's or Di Gregorio's markets to get good italian meats. Both Oldani and Volpi sausage are made here in St. Louis.
Soulard Farmers Market- Well over a hundred year old farmers market. Not the best time of year when you are coming in but they are open on Saturdays even in the off season. you need to go by midmorning in the off season since it starts clearing out by noon.
Cherokee Street-Hispanic neighborhood. This is sort of a new institution in St. Louis of a number of taquerias and stores. La Vallesana has the best tortas IMHO.
South Grand- A mix of recent immigrant restaurants. Heavy on Vietnamese/Asian but also Eastern European. Pho Grand gets the most mention.
Lafayette Square-Turn of the century architecture with a mix of restaurants.
The Loop- An eclectic neighborhood, if you need a tattoo or vintage clothing this is the place. Has the aforementioned Blueberry Hill and a mix of restaurants including PI( A new pizza place that was flown in to the Whitehouse earlier this year. Not St. Louis style pizza but sometimes thats a good thing) as well as Riddle's Penultimate Cafe and Wine Bar which was doing local sourcing before it was the cool thing to do.
I know I'm skipping a few neighborhoods but those are the most well known and concentrated when it comes to food.

Reprint from Baltimore
Magazine, February 2001, page 113
Tag team: Joyce J. Scott and Lorraine L.
Whittlesey put their creative minds and voices
together on their new CD, Try Me.
By John Lewis
tough to wedge local composer Lorraine L.
Whittleseys music into a particular
category. Because she embraces various genres
with gusto, her work has turned up in a variety
of settingsfrom classical music halls (the
Baltimore Symphony Orchestra has performed her
compositions) to hip-hop boom boxes (gangsta
rappers Naughty By Nature used the bass rhythm of
a Whittlesey tune in one of their songs).
Whittlesey has been collaborating with Joyce J.
Scott, the acclaimed visual and performance
artist. The duos debut disc, Try Me
(Private Sector), gleefully tweaks the cabaret
versatile vocalist, Scott vamps, coos, and whoops
through Whittleseys songs like a sassy diva
set loose in a piano bar. Joyce has a great
range, says Whittlesey during a
late-afternoon chat in her Roland Park home.
She can do those really low, blues-y tunes
and she can really get up there. With goofy
snippets of Joyce-speak linking the songs, the
disc has a fresh, spontaneous feel thats
nicely underscored by Whittleseys melodic
and unobtrusive piano accompaniment. I
wanted to have sparse arrangements because this
CD is more of a vehicle for Joyce, says
Whittlesey. For me, the playing had to
support Joyces wonderful voice. It was that

On September 12, 2007, a federal judge in Vermont ruled that the state may impose its own greenhouse gas emission standards on automakers. The opinion in Green Mountain Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge, et al. v. Crombie, et al. marked a victory for states in their battle with the automotive industry, seeking imposition of new rules to reduce tailpipe emissions.
Plaintiffs, a group of car dealers and manufacturers including DaimlerChrysler and the General Motors Corporation, alleged in their complaint that Vermont's proposed regulations were pre-empted by the federal Clean Air Act and the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, and sought an injunction barring the state from implementation of the proposed regulations. After a 16-day trial, Chief Judge William K. Sessions III issued a 240-page opinion rejecting plaintiff's arguments and entering judgment in favor of the state.
Following California's lead, Vermont joins at least 10 other states in adopting regulations that would require a 30% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from new vehicles by 2016. Although the decision is likely to be appealed (and similar litigation could follow in other states), Green Mountain Chrysler could clear the way for implementation of similar regulations by other states.
Meanwhile, the State of California's request for an EPA waiver of federal pre-emption of its own tailpipe emissions standards remains pending.

Police have arrested a third person in the case involving a break-in and gun theft.
Eric Lugo of Garfield Township was arrested after turning himself into police.
Lugo was arraigned on receiving and concealing stolen property.
A man arrested for several crimes in Clare county is now accused of also stealing guns.
Joshua Letts is a registered sex offender and accused of having sex with a teenage girl.
His arrest led investigators to six other drug arrests, then they discovered the stolen guns. Police say Letts and Ryan Scherbaty broke into a pole barn near the town of Lake in Clare county back in November. Police found the stolen items during their investigation into Letts' sex crime case.
The pair are charged with breaking into the barn as well as felony firearm possession.
They are both in the Clare County Jail. Police say a third person will also soon be arrested for the crime.

Nearly one year ago a small coalition of States led by the United States of America and the United Kingdom invaded Iraq and overthrown the regime of Saddam Hussein. Since the coalition force gained effective control over the territory of Iraq, accompanied by the official end of hostilities, Iraq must be regarded as occupied territory. This means a specific set of rules comes into force under which all forms of belligerent occupation shall be executed. This paper tries to introduce the legal framework under which an occupying power must execute its occupation concerning the specific question of use of property under occupation with special emphasis on hydrocarbon resources. The major focus lies on the legal provisions and their development over time rather then on an in dept examination of the current situation in Iraq. Nevertheless a final conclusion will try to reconcile the legal arguments with some of the problems arising from the effect of belligerent occupation in Iraq at this time.

|Called the world's smallest radar gun, the Pocket Radar Hand-Held Gun packs a ton of features into a very small package. Its size, weight and accuracy are designed to get players, coaches and fans in on the action. Using a Doppler speed radar system, speed is detected by a small pulse of radio waves. This can measure how fast an object is traveling either towards or away from the gun. A recall button allows the user to view the last ten readings taken by the gun. This model can measure anywhere from 7 MPH to 375 MPH, with measurements available in both MPH and KPH. It is accurate within +/- 1 MPH. Its Instant-On feature allows the devide to power up and take a speed measurement in less than 1 second. Measuring in at just 4.7" x 2.3" x 0.8" and weighing only 3.7 ounces, you might be surprised to find out that this gun can take more than 10,000 readings on just 2 "AAA" alkaline batteries. Easy to use, one-button �Point and Shoot� interface.

Why we shouldn't guarantee all bank deposits
Amar Bhidé is a smart man with a very stupid idea:
We need to take away the reason for any depositor to fear losing money through an explicit, comprehensive government guarantee. The government stands behind all paper currency regardless of whose wallet, till or safe it sits in. Why not also make all short-term deposits, which function much like currency, the explicit liability of the government?
Why not? I can answer that question in one word: Ireland. That country's blanket government guarantee of all bank deposits was the single dumbest decision of the global financial crisis, and I can't quite believe that anybody thinks it would be a good idea here. Yes, I understand that the US can print money while Ireland can't. But that doesn't mean it makes sense for the US government to take on untold trillions of dollars in extra contingent liabilities.
But let's rewind to the beginning of Bhidé's op-ed, and try to work out how on earth he arrived at this rather crazy notion. He begins by saying that "central bankers barely averted a financial panic before Christmas by replacing hundreds of billions of dollars of deposits fleeing European banks" — a statement which comes with no footnote or hyperlink, which makes it hard for me to know exactly what he's referring to. I suspect it might be the coordinated liquidity operation which was announced on November 30, but I don't recall anybody at the time talking about "hundreds of billions of dollars of deposits fleeing European banks".
There was certainly a liquidity crisis in the European banking sector at the time, but there's a world of difference between a liquidity crisis and a bank run. A liquidity crisis is when banks don't lend to each other; a bank run is when depositors withdraw the money they have on deposit and move it elsewhere. And while deposits have certainly been flowing out of Greek banks in particular and the European periphery in general, I haven't seen reports that European banks in toto are seeing massive deposit flight, or that deposit flight was in any way the reason for the November 30 move.
But Bhidé is convinced that there was a bank-run panic in Europe and that there might be one in the US as well:
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation now covers balances up to a $250,000 limit, but this does nothing to reassure large depositors, whose withdrawals could cause the system to collapse.
Again, I'd need a lot of argument to be persuaded that a bank run by large depositors in the US is a real danger. According to the FDIC's Statistics on Depository Institutions, total deposits in the US, as of September 30, were pretty much exactly $10 trillion. Of that, $8.5 trillion was held domestically, and of that, $5.4 trillion is insured. Which means that there's about $3.1 trillion of uninsured deposits in the US, and $4.6 trillion of uninsured deposits at US financial institutions. (Although some of those international deposits will be insured by the countries where they're held.)
Certainly a $3.1 trillion bank run would cause the US banking system to collapse — there's no doubt about that. But where does Bhidé think the money would go? And what makes him think that such a bank run is a real possibility? I can certainly see a run on some individual bank, if it looks like it might be in trouble — we saw that in 2008, at WaMu, although in the end there all depositors ended up with 100 cents on the dollar. But what I can't envisage is a run on the whole system, where depositors move their money somewhere else entirely — partly because I have no idea where they might move it.
It's worth noting here that the US differs from Europe in two crucial ways. The first is that companies can't deposit their money directly with the central bank, in the way that Siemens for instance does. (The only exceptions are the handful of companies which own banks, like GE and Target.)
More importantly, deposits in the US are senior to banks' bonds: depositors get their money back before bondholders get anything. In Europe, by contrast, depositors are often pari passu with other unsecured creditors. Which means that deposits are riskier in Europe than they are in the US.
All of which helps explain why the total amount of uninsured deposits in the US has continued to rise since the crisis hit: when I ran the numbers in September 2008, using July 2008 data, total domestic uninsured deposits were $2.1 trillion. Which seemed like a lot of money at the time, but it's gone up by a full trillion dollars since then.
All evidence, then, points to the fact that US bank depositors aren't worried about the safety of their deposits at all, and that they believe — correctly — that US banks, in general, are a perfectly safe place to park their funds.
But Bhidé's not happy with that: he wants short-term deposits to be guaranteed just in the way that paper currency is guaranteed. But here's the thing: the guarantee of paper currency is meaningless, because paper currency isn't a government liability in the way that a deposit at a bank is a bank liability.
You can walk up to a bank and ask for the money you have on deposit to be converted into paper currency, and the bank has to give it to you in cash. But if you have cash and you walk up to Treasury, there's nothing the government is obliged to give you in return. That's the whole point of fiat currency: it is what it is. You can buy stuff with it — you can even buy a Treasury bill, and turn your cash into a US government obligation. But when that Treasury bill matures, it just becomes cash again.
And the fact is that we really don't want a blanket guarantee of bank deposits in any event. Bank deposits are dangerous things — they're informationally-insenstive assets which do a really good job of housing tail risk in an invisible and impossible-to-measure manner. If there were a blanket deposit guarantee, you can be quite sure that total domestic deposits would rise substantially from their current $8.5 trillion, and I'm not at all sure that I want to give trillions more dollars to the US banking sector, which has proved itself time and time again a very bad custodian of such funds. Bhidé seems to think that you could regulate away any risk: that's naive in the extreme. If banks don't take risk, they're not banks any more.
Sometimes, banks will fail. That's a feature, not a bug: it's necessary to impose discipline on them. In Bhidé's utopia, banks are so stringently regulated that they never fail. That places an impossible burden on regulators, and infantilizes the important capital-allocation function that banks provide in the economy.
"The next time a panic starts," writes Bhidé, "markets may just not believe that the Treasury and Fed have the resources to stop it." He's right about that. So what makes him think that markets will believe a blanket deposit guarantee? If you guarantee everything, you guarantee nothing. Let's keep private banks private. Because as Peter Thal Larsen says, the logical conclusion of what Bhidé wants is the nationalization of every bank in America. And even François Mitterrand never went that far.
Update: This page says there's a total of $6.8 trillion in insured deposits, although it doesn't say how many uninsured deposits there are. And it's worth answering the point that Ireland guaranteed all bank debt, not just deposits. Which is true. But if there's an unlimited government guarantee on bank deposits, then banks will simply fund themselves through deposits and not through bank debt at all.
"But if you have cash and you walk up to Treasury, there's nothing the government is obliged to give you in return. "
true – they are not obliged to give you anything, but investors do buy Treasury debt obligations – out 3 months for ZERO yield and out 6 months for less than a handful of bps of yield – that kinda contradicts your claim that
"US bank depositors aren't worried about the safety of their deposits at all, and that they believe — correctly — that US banks, in general, are a perfectly safe place to park their funds"
If your claim were true, I don't think we'd have near 0% 6 month treasury bill yields – all of that money buying T-bills for zero yield would instead be in a big fat (sarcasm) 75 basis point deposit account. It's not, though, and there's a reason – fear of bank insolvency.
Thanks for clearing up the gap between insured and uninsured deposits – Bhide did not give the reader an idea of what this was, and it's key to his point, which is that the gap is systemically important.
I need to pick two nits with you, though. My understanding of Ireland's problem was that it covered ALL obligations of the banks (bonds, etc), and not just deposits. This, again, might have been equally systemically important, but is presumably a much greater obligation than Bhide is suggesting.
And I think you'd need to provide a better example of non-bank companies in Europe accessing the ECB than Siemens. Siemens owns two lenders – Siemens Bank and Siemens Financial Services. Are there any other companies without lending operations doing so?
If I am not mistaken, all deposits in non-interest bearing accounts have unlimited FDIC insurance through 12/31/2012. This is where businesses keep their money, foregoing the scant interest paid on other savings vehicles. This may explain why there has been no talk about a bank run so far, but what happens when this ends on 12/31 will be interesting. I have little doubt that they will extend the coverage.
"On November 9, 2010, the FDIC issued a Final Rule implementing section 343 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that provides for unlimited insurance coverage of noninterest-bearing transaction accounts. Beginning December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012, all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are fully insured, regardless of the balance of the account, at all FDIC-insured institutions. The unlimited insurance coverage is available to all depositors, including consumers, businesses, and government entities. This unlimited insurance coverage is separate from, and in addition to, the insurance coverage provided to a depositor's other deposit accounts held at an FDIC-insured institution. " (From FDIC Website)
Let's distill it down – if you have money, the MOST important thing that government can do, is protect your money, no matter how foolish, corrupt, or venal you are. If you are rich, and you buy something….o, what is that called? A pat? A pet? A pot? ….. Well, it doesn't matter what it is called – what matters is this: if you are rich, our modern society depends on you staying rich, and the Fed will pay any price, bear any burden, etcetera, etcetera…
Poor people??? Do they have bank accounts or bonds????
Maybe we could use their kidneys as assets…
It seems like your ignoring Gary Gorton's work on the role of the repo markets in the crisis, along with subsequent work by Sing and Aitken at the IMF on repo and shadow banking. What these authors argue is that the cap on insured deposits, combined with corporate risk controls limiting uninsured exposure to individual banks, led to the creation of the very large shadow banking system relying on repo transactions (which, because they are backed by supposedly informationally-insensitive assets, pass risk-control muster). The danger in this system is that the assets backing the repo transactions cease to be informationally insensitive, resulting in a run on the repo market (haircuts rising to 100%). One way to avoid kind of crisis we're still digging out of would be to provide a much larger supply of genuinely informationally insensitive assets (treasury bonds) but there does not appear to be a viable political path to doing so on an adequately large scale. Uncapping deposit insurance is the alternative, which may be more feasible politically (though who knows). But neither addressing the shortage of informationally insensitive assets, nor replacing the shadow system with insured, in-the-light banks seems like a recipe for continually getting "slapped by the invisible hand."
Also, Sweden guaranteed all bank liabilities in 1994, and that is typically cited as the best-in-class response to a banking crisis. Ireland's problems are all about not having its own currency, not its response to the bank crisis as such.
I believe Ireland guaranteed all Bank Debt not Deposits. That is a big difference.
If there were a blanket deposit guarantee, you can be quite sure that total domestic deposits would rise substantially from their current $8.5 trillion.
Are you sure?
I agree with most of what you say but some changes to your facts:
1) there currently is unlimited FDIC Insurance on non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts. http://www.fdic.gov/deposit/deposits/unl imited/implementation.html
2) Insured deposits have increased to $6.78 trillion a/o 9/30/2011 http://www.fdic.gov/bank/statistical/sta ts/2011sep/fdic.html
Why, at this late date in the credit crisis, should it remain the responsibility of governments (i.e., taxpayers) "to provide a much larger supply of genuinely informationally insensitive assets [IIA] (treasury bonds)" when the entities needing such IIA could — nay, should — instead delever, reduce their borrowing needs, sell their assets?
How can one know if the problem is indeed a worldwide shortage of IIA rather than a mere unwillingness of overlevered borrowers to take losses on overvalued collateral?
In Nov 09 Bernanke told FCIC investigators:
"the collapse of Bear Sterns might bring down the entire repo market, the entire tri-party repo market, which is a two-and-a-half trillion-dollar market, which was the source of financing for all the investment banks and many other institutions as well. Because if it collapsed, what would happen would be that the short-term overnight lenders would find themselves in possession of the collateral, which they would then try to dump on the market. You would have a big crunch in asset prices. And probably what would have happened would—our fear, at least—was that the tri-party repo market would have frozen up. That would have led to huge financing problems for other investment banks and other firms; and we might have had a broader financial crisis."
http://fcic-static.law.stanford.edu/cdn_ media/fcic-docs/FCIC%20Interview%20with% 20Ben%20Bernanke,%20Federal%20Reserve.pd f
pages 21-22.
Now, almost 4 years since Bear collapsed, policymakers are still intent on avoiding "a big crunch in asset prices." (Bernanke actually spells-out Gordon's name to his FCIC questioners, sigh.)
But for how long will we be told that there is a shortage of IIA requiring emergency lending — until the nominal value of debts has been inflated away?
The curious thing about the almost universal and lofty scorn pored upon the Irish bank guarantee decision is that no ever ponders what would have happened had it not been done. Maybe we all prefer to indulge the fallacy / bias based on outcome / omission
"If there were a blanket deposit guarantee, you can be quite sure that total domestic deposits would rise substantially from their current $8.5 trillion"
What would this do to investment? Isn't one of the problems that is continually railed on about money hoarding? Wouldn't this exacerbate that problem?
On Your Update…You state:
"But if there's an unlimited government guarantee on bank deposits, then banks will simply fund themselves through deposits and not through bank debt at all."
This is potentially catastrophic to the Economy as we have seen.
AMAR BHIDÉ notes that banks should only be..
"Banks must therefore be restricted to those activities, like making traditional loans and simple hedging operations, that a regulator of average education and intelligence can monitor. If the average examiner can't understand it, it shouldn't be allowed."
Bhide is on the right track here. Felix is just looking at one side of the equation here which is the blanket guarantee but not the whole side which is the severe limiting of bank spec activity.

spectre855: Increasing (or lifting) the limit on insured deposits would not likely have any very direct impact on investment or the cash-hoarding behavior of corporations. They'll hoard as much cash as they do now, just in insured deposits rather than via repo transactions. But lifting the limit on insured deposits would (presumably) sharply reduce the flow of funds into the repo market, and hence shrink the shadow banking system relative to the official banking system. Since the former is easier to supervise and regulate, I think this would have a positive impact on financial stability. That seems to have been Bhide's point. Obviously, there are many problems that this would not solve, but Bhide's proposal would go a long way toward solving the shadow banking problem.
dedalus: Not quite sure I understand your question but
First, its not that there's a taxpayer responsibility to provide IIA, its that only public sector debt (of countries that print their own currency) that functions as IIA. In so far as we have a financial system heavily dependent on a limited (and shrinking!) supply of IIA, we run the risk of a recurrence of the "market freeze" of Sept/Oct 2008. Now, I would point out that at the moment the US federal govt can borrow at a negative real interest rate up to 10 years (at least) and that we have huge unmet public investment needs, and a whole lot of unemployed people, so this would be an ideal time to increase public investment and "pay" for it by borrowing at a negative real interest rate. Into the bargain we help stabilize the financial system by increasing the supply of IIA.
But if that's not your cup of tea, then Bhide's proposal would be an alternative mechanism to stabilize the financial system.
Second, the reason there is a shortage of IIA is that a lot of what had been treated as IIA (MBS, etc) prior to 2007 is now subject to such high haircuts that it does not facilitate lending. Maybe more honesty in the valuations would lead to a restoration of confidence in the formerly-II-now-IS assets, but I'm skeptical. And in any event, selling the assets doesn't really do anything to address the question here. There's all these big corporations and asset managers, and they've got cash, and they want both assurance that their cash will be available when they need it and a return on the cash while its sitting around. Repo backed by IIA gives them the assurance and the return, as would unlimited deposit insurance. Banks admitting that their assets are worth less than they say would be a good thing in many ways, but not really relevant to this discussion as far as I can see.
Again, as I and jarjam point out, an unlimited FDIC deposit guarantee has been in effect for more than a year, with an additional 12 months to go. It seems we have a real world experiment here, and the result is that nothing untoward has happened. The mistake Ireland made was to guarantee bondholders, which was insane. The bondholders made money twice — they got a higher interest rate than depositors, and then got bailed out 100 cents on the dollar anyway. The definition of moral hazard.
I would go further and bring back double liability, while at the same time raising pay for bank directors and holding them more accountable. The system stinks and we need to remove asymmetric risks and rewards, empower the right people in the corporate structure and use market based methods where possible, doing the above makes that happen.
@maynardGkeynes…sorry I missed your early post re unlimited insurance. It has actually been in effect since 2008 but was reformulated and extended in Dodd-Frank. Not sure I would agree that nothing untoward has happened though. Insured deposits have skyrocketed putting the taxpayer at greater risk yet this provision really benefits mega-depositors like Apple and Microsoft, not the average taxpayer. See http://seekingalpha.com/article/301849-i s-the-u-s-encouraging-blue-chip-corporat ions-to-hoard-cash-at-taxpayer-risk.
Who cares if the Banks back the phony private Federal Reserve IOUs? Fire them and order the U.S. Treasury to start printing and coining U.S. Currency instead of fiat currency American taxpayers have to pay interest on.
I hate to feed an off-topic question, but if the US Treasury is printing money, how is that different from Fiat currency?
Don't you think that since banks are used by every person in society except nomads, there should be a bank (a very strict one which offers very low interest rates) but that would guarantee unlimited amounts?

What The Papers Say - 28 August
Martinez on Barkley and Stevenage in Wednesday's papers.
The views on this page are taken from the local and national media and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton.
Ross Barkley's first senior England call-up receives widespread coverage in Wednesday's newspapers.
The Daily Mail and Daily Telegraph both include quotes from Everton boss Roberto Martinez, who claims the Blues midfielder has got 'no weaknesses' and reminds him of former Germany captain Michael Ballack.
Again, there is more transfer speculation, with Martinez dismissing reports Everton have expressed an interest in Wigan's James McCarthy in the Liverpool Echo.
In the Daily Express, there are more quotes from Martinez on the recent speculation surrounding Everton's players. The Spaniard insists that there have been no fresh bids for any members of his squad.
Looking ahead to Wednesday evening's Capital One Cup tie against Stevenage, Martinez has told the Echo that winning silverware is part of Everton's heritage and that he hopes to add more to the club's trophy cabinet during his reign at Goodison Park.
The Guardian and Daily Mirror also report that Gerard Deulofeu will make his Blues debut against Stevenage later this evening.
