Higher Education is Going Green with the USGBC
At universities across the country, sustainability has become a trendy buzzword for students, faculty, and strategic planners. Reducing carbon foot prints and recycling initiatives are helping to mitigate the environmental impact of these institutions as well as help to educate the next generation on the importance of environmental stewardship. The USGBC and the Princeton Review have teamed up to help promote the "greening" of American colleges. In April, the Princeton Review published a new book that ranked the 322 greenest schools in the US. In addition, the USBGC has created the Center for Green Schools to promote sustainability on campuses and has recognized 7 universities that have expanded their sustainability plans to include green buildings and LEED compliant buildings. From big state schools like UT Austin to small liberal arts like Dickenson College, these universities are proving that any size school can attain sustainable buildings.
So what does this mean for the green building and products industry? With over 4,495 institutions of higher education and many with hopes of expansion, the construction of green buildings in America's universities is sure to grow. From nationally ranked universities to local community colleges, green building and sustainability has caught the eye of higher education administrators. Hoping to reduce resource consumption, save money in the long run, and create green reputations, many universities have pledged to have minimum LEED compliance for their future buildings. For example Harvard, Brown, MIT, and Princeton have pledged to have all new buildings meet at least LEED silver. The newest member of the UC system, The University of California, Merced, has hopes to be the greenest campus in the country and currently has six LEED Gold structures, and has 4 planned buildings that will also be LEED Gold. No other university in the United States has earned LEED Silver or better for every building on campus.
Even for schools that do not have LEED pledges, their sustainability departments and student action groups are advocating for green and sustainable products in their classrooms, residence halls, and libraries. Green roofs, low VOC paints, CFL bulbs, and solar power generators are products that most universities are sourcing. The College of Charleston, included in the Princeton Review's newest green university rankings, has recently installed a green roof and plans to expand this project to other parts of campus. For green product manufacturers, universities could be a profitable laboratory for testing new products and ideas.
For the green-build industry and green product manufacturers, universities are a key market for a couple of reasons. The students, professors, and administrations are innovative and experimental and have put in place plans to reduce the environmental impact of their universities. Also, the universities are teaching students the importance of being responsible consumers and citizens. The combination of idealistic students, trendy college administrations, and ample budgets could lead to the greening of a lot campuses and a more educated alumni!

Look! Apple Print Stamps
Quintessential fall. It's apple season and Molly of MommyCoddle and her daughters are celebrating them by making homemade applesauce and lovely apple prints.
They've stamped on linen, but you could use cotton fabric, twill, paper or even t-shirts. Molly writes that her girls "went crazy when they lifted up that apple to see the first print underneath." Beautiful!
The folks at Martha Stewart used apple prints on canvas bags and book covers.
They recommend using a stamp pad or fabric paint (read more here.)
You don't have to stop at apples - give pears, lemons, limes, oranges a try.

Did you know that the cut-off "stump" of celery makes a lovely rose stamp??
melissa...thanks for the tip. I've been wanting to put a rose design on one of the walls in my daughters' room, but stencils look too country and blik looks too mod...I think the celery idea will be perfect!
awesome, polkadot! I hope that you'll share the results with us when you're done.

It's the top of the fourth, Cardinals up 4-2. Bob Gibson is pitching, Tim McCarver catching, Dave Concepción at bat, and Dan Driessen is on second. Concepción goes on to ground out, Driessen moving over to third. Up next, Ken Griffey doubles, and Driessen scores. The Reds tie the game in the sixth, and finally, in the twelfth, George Foster doubles, knocking in two runs, giving the Reds a 6-4 win.

Unable to find Route 94 wreck for gallery
Please contact us for help or if you believe you have received this message in error.
Marvin Gresham, 22, pleaded guilty in September to aggravated manslaughter and eluding police.
Gresham was stopped July 7, 2009, by New Jersey State Police troopers for speeding on Interstate 80 in Knowlton Township. The stop occurred about four miles east of the Delaware River crossing.
Gresham drove away after two troopers stepped out of their police vehicle during the stop, police said.
He left the interstate at Exit 4 and drove onto Route 94 in northern Warren County before the blue Nissan he was driving crashed into a guide rail, police said. The car ended up in a group of trees on the banks of the Paulins Kill.
The troopers, who are familiar with the curved exit, slowed down and backed off the speeding car, state police Sgt. Stephen Jones said at the time.
Passenger Isaiah Vinson, 20, of Newark, was thrown from the car and pronounced dead at the scene of the 3:40 a.m. crash, police said. He was a rear-seat passenger.
Gresham and a then-16-year-old passenger in the vehicle were injured in the crash, police said. The juvenile was trapped in the car for about 30 minutes, police said.
The Nissan was reported stolen in Newark.
Gresham must serve four years and three months before becoming eligible for parole. After his release, he must also undergo three years of parole supervision, records show.

Frank Zappa's daughter Moon Unit Zappa -- her real name -- has filed for divorce from her husband, Matchbox Twenty guitarist Paul Doucette ... TMZ has learned.
Moon Unit filed the papers in L.A. County Superior Court last week -- seeking to end her 9-and-a-half year marriage.
Moon Unit and her husband were married in June 2002, and have one 7-year-old daughter named Mathilda Plum.
Fun facts: Moon Unit also has a laundry list of acting credits, including a recent appearance on "Grey's Anatomy." Frank's other kids are named Dweezil, Ahmet, and Diva.
She always seemed super cool , hope we see more of her in the media.
Unforunate last name...Doucette.
Ron Artest has trumped her by taking the name Metta World Peace.
At the risk of sounding like the Grammar Nazi, I think you left out the "h" in that guys last name.
just sayin'...
Moon Unit Zappa "her real name..." Of course it's her name. She's a known figure in the culture unless the TMZ writer is 14.
I've always thought Moon Unit was cute.
I think I'll add her to my list of things to do.
Her parents are mean for naming her that.
Well, given California's latest murder-suicide today was at the Courthouseover child support....(See the "Kids Killed" section)and the Bad Cop Section.....at least these guys seem like they're sane. Good.
And uh, no , it's not a bloodclot to the idiot down stream said. It's Mae West as seen thru the eyes of Dali , stupid jerk. Then go eff yurself, then go get some culture, freak.
She's UGLY!!!
HE is probably ANOTHER dominating *************.
"her real name" how old are the TMZ writers?? We KNOW that's her real name, oh wait, the writers are kids.
It's really messed up to name a child Dweezil. It's like naming them a joke name. One reason celebrities name their children such awful names is that they know the kid will never have to go out and get a real job--they will always have money from their parents. "Dweezil" and "Moon Unit" would have trouble getting a regular job in the real world.
@Holly, so true...so true.
I think everyone already knows that is her real name is Moon Unit and that her siblings also have odd names. So stop trying to be clever TMZ.

Planning my wedding in Vegas from Virginia was super stressful, but once the day arrived, I was so happy and stress free thanks to Angela and Erika! They made my vision a reality, and even added the small touches I didn't think of myself to make the day that much more special. The wedding was beautiful, the reception was perfect and my guests couldn't stop raving about the food, bartender, DJ, and wedding over all. The event planners made sure my day was reflective of my husband and I's tastes. The venue was so much more than I expected! Multiple people told me it was the best wedding they have ever attended. I'm so glad I chose Wellington, and would HIGHLY recommend them for your special day!

I traveled from Miami, Florida to have a fabulous wedding in Vegas on February 11, 2012 and it was just that fabulous; thanks to Angela, Erika and the Wellington staff. My reception was everything that I could ever dream of and even more. The decor was elegant, the food was delicious and DJ John D rocked the house. My family and friends was so impressed with all the details provided especially the party buses, which transported my guest round trip from my wedding location at the MGM Grand. From the first conversation that I had with Angela and Erika I knew immediately that this was the location for my Vegas reception. I am so glad that we choose Wellington Place to provide a unforgettable night that was full of love and lasting memories.

I held my wedding celebration at Wellington Place and it was amazing, I highly recommend this venue: the food, cake and chocolate fountain (yummy), was very good, my family and guests really enjoyed themselves and are still talking about the wonderful time they had and how nice my wedding reception was, and they still are amazed that I planned everything from so far away. The staff was very friendly and always attending to us, and DJ Robert was great. (he even got my uncle who never dance up to dance)
Thanks again Wellington Place, you gave me and my husband the best day ever!

I cannot say enough good things about this facility. EVERYONE there was an absolute delight and so accommodating to work with. I live in NY and my husband and I were getting married in Vegas with about 50 people flying from all over. A week and a half before our wedding, my catering plans for the hotel we were staying at were messed up and we had no place, food, drinks, etc. for my guests...and ladies, that's right. A WEEK AND A HALF BEFORE THE WEDDING. I immediately googled every reception facility in Las Vegas (for the weekend of 11/11/11 nonetheless!!). Angela called me right away and was AMAZNG AND WONDERFUL AND AN ABSOLUTE ANGEL!! She worked with me from the price, the colors, the food that was not on the list, etc. From the moment we began speaking to the moment we left the facility, they were there for everything (I would have left gifts, money, my son, etc. if they didn't pack it for me as we left! lol) They even let us stay another hour with the open bar and DJ for a VERY reasonable fee. I wish they were a little more on the beaten path, but their attentiveness and professionalism is worth a little trip (which they provide). FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!

Let me just start off by thanking Wellington for giving me the most beautiful wedding ever imaginable! Working with Angela and Erika was very easy and comfortable for me since they were always sweet and answered every single one of my million questions. I planned my wedding from out of state and they reassured me the whole way through. Wellington did not dissappoint! Everything was absolutely beautiful! They went above and beyond my expectations with their services and professionalism. They truly cared about me as an individual and no request was too big or small.
I give this venue an A++++++++++! The food was great and everyone ate everything off their plate! The decor was stunning! The Officiant was funny and heartfelt! The limos were on time! The DJ did a fantastic job and kept everyone dancing all night! Our photographer Gwen did a fabulous job of being everywhere at all times! The bartender did a great job on keeping the drinks coming, and when she didn't have a type of beer or drink we wanted, she'd send someone to go out and get it! The videographer did his thing and was really fast in delivering our DVD! My colors were Jade and Black so when they didn't have the right linen shade to match, the seamstress took a color swatch and made entirely new linens for my table settings! I have never experienced such spectacular service and I will not hesitate to call Wellington Place the BEST in the business!

In fact, our wedding is still topic of conversations when weddings are brought up. Thank you so much Wellington place for everything.
Michael and Krista Ortiz
Wedding: 11/13/2010
Services Used: Catering, Ceremony & Reception Venue
We had our reception here on 10/09/2010 and did all of the planning from Iowa. Everytime we called with even the littlest detail change or silly question Erika handled us with patience and grace. We were hesistant at first to go with a venue so far from the strip but with the included transportation to and from our chapel ceremony, we decided to go with them. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out!
We visited W.P. a few days before the ceremony when we got to Vegas and Amber led us through our reception hall and talked us through the details. They even had a mockup of a table with our chosen colors, linens and centerpieces! We provided our own cake topper and sugared leaves for the cake decoration, brought photos of my deceased father and all of our favors. Wellington Place made our cake look STUNNING, put the name tags on all of our favor gift bags for us and set up a table near the entrance with candles around my father's photographs. It was honestly moving to see how far they went to accommodate us! The food was great, the transportation on time and easy, the two-hour open bar was a hit (as was our amazing bartender!) and the DJ played mostly from the Cd's and Ipods we brought. We had a slight issue with our first dance song but nothing's perfect.
We were able to do monthly payments and they always mailed us paper receipts. Everyone who works there is wonderful - I really can't recommend this venue enough. The people there actually care about your vision and your feelings and in Vegas - the wedding capital - they go out of their way to make sure you feel special and taken care of.

Earlier this month, Duke hosted Wake Forest and took care of business with an 80-62 win to begin their ACC schedule. When the Blue Devils face the Demon Deacons on Wednesday, however, they will do so without senior Ryan Kelly whose 22 points tied for the game-high and were one of the keys to victory for Duke.
Kelly's absence is something that has haunted every article we've written here but this will be the first of several instances where the difference he makes can actually be quantified by tangible statistics. Sure, you can compare the team's averages before and after but until you can compare performances against the same opponent the perspective will always be a little cloudy.
That Jan. 5 matchup will now be used as the first official measuring stick of how good Duke is without Kelly in the lineup. Fortunately for the Blue Devils, they have had a few games to flesh out a contingency plan and Wake will be getting full force of their post-Kelly lineup.
So with that in mind, here are some key things to keep an eye on when Duke takes on Wake Forest tonight at 8 p.m. on ESPN3 and the ACC Network.
Quinn Cook's command of the offense
When these two teams last met, Quinn Cook had one of the weirder stat lines in college basketball this season. Cook struggled shooting the ball, finishing 0-for-11 from the field and 0-for-4 from three, but he made up for that by notching a season-high 14 assists with many of them going to Kelly and Seth Curry.
Cook has been great all year for Duke and if he can exhibit similar command of the offense and score a little bit more than last time the Blue Devils will coast to victory.
Devin Thomas and Travis McKie on the boards
The Demon Deacons' two forwards combined for 23 of Wake's 43 rebounds against Duke back on Jan. 5. If they are allowed to dominate the glass to that level and Thomas can shoot the ball better than his 0-for-4 effort last time it will make life very difficult on Duke's already-sparse frontcourt.
It has been commonplace this season for Duke to get out-rebounded and still win but Thomas has had a nice stretch of play recently and if he can get himself going on the boards, the carryover to the rest of his game could make life tough on the Blue Devils.
Rasheed Sulaimon's hot streak continuing
I wrote a few days ago about just how red-hot Rasheed Sulaimon has been this season. The numbers speak for themselves: 18 points, 60 percent shooting, 61 percent from three. If he can be 75 percent as effective as he has been over the last three games, Duke will run away with this game.
Sulaimon's role in the offense has gone from supplementary to necessary with Kelly being out of the lineup. He stretches the floor on the opposite side of Curry and his ability to move without the ball has opened up tons of catch-and-shoot opportunities from Mason Plumlee.
Other things worth watching:
- Mason Plumlee's face up game vs. post up game.
- McKie and C.J. Harris trying to equal the 44 points they combined for last time.
- Alex Murphy sightings.
- Amile Jefferson's ability to get to the free throw line.

Mum's the word for Samantha Ronson.
But while she had nothing to say about her and Lindsay Lohan's breakup, the seemingly single DJ more or less told E! News she doesn't plan to file a restraining order against her ex.
"No truth to that," she told our camera crew outside her Los Angeles home.
Pet bulldog in tow, Ronson then passed through her front gate, offering a "you're welcome" when the crew thanked her for her time.
Beverly Hills police confirmed that Ronson's mom and sister Charlotte visited the station to ask about obtaining a restraining order against Lohan, but no papers were ever filed, and a lawyer for Sam said yesterday that his client had no intention of doing so.
According to a source, members of Sam's family specifically asked Lohan not to show up at a party they threw last Friday to fete Charlotte's I Heart Ronson clothing line.

The Philadelphia Eagles seemed to be on the road to playoff destiny. The stars appear to be aligning just right for a team that was 4-12 last season. And maybe the biggest star of them all is new Eagles' head coach Chip Kelly and the change of mentality he has brought to this formerly downtrodden team. As proof of this postseason prediction, I present ten reasons why I think the Eagles will win the NFC East this season, and hence make it into the playoffs.
10. Adrian Peterson's Injury
It is unclear whether or not Peterson will play on Sunday at the Metrodome as the Eagles face the Minnesota Vikings. What is clear, is without a fully-healthy A.P., the Vikings have little in the way of offensive firepower. This makes it an almost guaranteed win for the Birds and most likely their chance to take a two game lead on the trailing Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East.

Terrelle Pryor has seen it all over the past several months. Fans chanting his name on visits and the constant calls from coaches, reporters and other recruits have filled his hours as he starts to breakdown where he should spend the next 4-5 years of his life.
Football fans from six schools are going to be very excited about the latest news coming out of Jeannette, PA and the nation's top quarterback prospect Terrelle Pryor. Scout.com regional recruiting analyst Bob Lichtenfels spoke with Pryor and has the latest news.
Terrelle Pryor has informed Scout.com he's narrowed his list of schools down to the following six and will be looking hard at each.
Pryor has the complete package with size and physical skills and would be a welcomed addition to any of the programs. The masses have agreed Pryor is a priority for each program as many feel he'll develop into a "Vince Young" type of player capable of turning a game with his arm or feet.
While the fans of these schools will have to wait on Pryor to make an official announcement, knowing their team is in the running is a positive.
Scout.com will have more on these developments as they are released.

Goldman Sachs responds to Taibbi
I just got off the phone with Lucas van Praag, the top flack at Goldman Sachs, who called Matt Taibbi's piece on the bank "hysterical". He also sent me an email, which makes some specific responses to Taibbi's points:
Having read your piece about Matt Taibbi's article in Rolling Stone, I wanted to set the record straight, particularly about "regulatory capture".
Background: Under the Commodity Exchange Act, the CFTC (for agricultural futures) or exchanges (for energy/metals futures) established speculative position limits. As much as anything else, the limits are intended to prevent market imbalances that would result in failures of the ultimate settlement of the futures contracts.
The CFTC rules exempt "bona fide hedging" transactions from these spec limits. A bona fide hedging transaction was originally understood to be an actual producer/consumer who was selling or buying the underlying commodity and wanted to hedge risk of the price moving up or down. In 1991, J. Aron wanted to enter into one of its first commodity index swap transactions with a pension fund. In order to hedge our exposure on the swap, we wanted to buy futures on the commodities in the index. We applied to the CFTC for exemption from position limits on the theory that even if we weren't buying the commodity, we had offsetting exposure (in our swap) that put us in a balanced/price neutral position. The CFTC agreed with our argument and granted exemption. By the way, each of the then Commissioners signed off, so it was hardly a secret…
The CFTC published a report in August 2008, indicating that there were few instances when entities would have exceeded spec limits, had they applied to OTC positions.
Yesterday, as you probably know, the Senate Permanent Sub-Committee on Investigations issued a report on wheat futures in which they concluded that divergence between prices for actual wheat v. wheat futures is being caused solely by index investment. The Committee's recommendation is that hedge exemptions which support indices should be phased out.
Not quite so recently, the elimination of Glass Steagall doesn't exactly provide a robust argument for regulatory capture. And Taibbi's bubble case doesn't stand up to serious scrutiny either. To give just two examples, even with the worst will in the world, the blame for creating the internet bubble cannot credibly be laid at our door, and we could hardly be described as having been a major player in the mortgage market, unlike so many of our current and former competitors.
Taibbi's article is a compilation of just about every conspiracy theory ever dreamed up about Goldman Sachs, but what real substance is there to support the theories?
We reject the assertion that we are inflators of bubbles and profiteers in busts, and we are painfully conscious of the importance of being a force for good.
Van Praag is right that if the Senate is recommending that Goldman's exemptions in the futures market be phased out, then the Senate, at least, has not been captured by Goldman. And he's also right that Goldman can't really be blamed for creating either the tech-stock bubble or the housing bubble — it was a relatively minor player in both.
But you don't read a Taibbi rant for an evenhanded look at both sides of a complex story. It's more a forcefully-put case for the prosecution: some of his charges might not stick, but he'll throw a few chancers in as well for good measure. (Interestingly, though, even Taibbi didn't try to include Ben Stein's ridiculous conspiracy theory about Goldman's chief economist trying to drive down the prices of mortgage bonds in order that Goldman could profit from its short positions.)
I disagree with van Praag that the CFTC exemption given to J Aron "was hardly a secret" — as far as I know, there was no contemporaneous reporting of it at all, either in the press or in Goldman's own filings. And although there's a strong case to be made that Goldman has failed to capture the legislative branch (see for instance Chris Dodd jumping on the Ben Stein bandwagon), I think there's a pretty compelling case that both the executive branch (home to countless Goldman alumni) and the regulators, like the CFTC, have a pretty strong track record of doing whatever was in the best interests of Goldman Sachs.
Van Praag told me that in the wake of the events of the past year or two, Goldman's partners have pretty much lost their appetite for going into public service. Maybe that's for the best. They are generally smart and talented and knowledgeable people, and I daresay that many of them have done a lot of good after leaving the firm and joining government. At the same time, however, we're supposed to have a government of the people, not a government of multimillionaire Goldman Sachs technocrats. And when you have the latter, you're inevitably going to end up with a lot of mistrust and conspiracy theories sooner or later, whether they're well-founded or not.

Goldman Sachs is part of the Wall Street cabal that blew up the financial system. Now Goldman Sachs tells us that they are losing their appetite for "public service". Is there anything left to loot?
"Van Praag told me that in the wake of the events of the past year or two, Goldman's partners have pretty much lost their appetite for going into public service. "
My cynical take on this is that, with the economy down and GS's reduced competition, this would be a poor time for a government-mandated divestiture of GS stock.
So, no wonder they aren't interested.
"I disagree with van Praag that the CFTC exemption given to J Aron "was hardly a secret" — as far as I know, there was no contemporaneous reporting of it at all, either in the press or in Goldman's own filings."
It only shows that you are talking above your head. It's routine for the CFTC to grant exemptions from position limits for bona fide hedging. This is Reuters, not Rolling Stone, YOU should know that.
"…we are painfully conscious of the importance of being a force for good."
"Van Praag told me that in the wake of the events of the past year or two, Goldman's partners have pretty much lost their appetite for going into public service."
This is great news for the middle-class in this country – we can't afford any more G-S "public service." But G-S stakeholders won't need G-S alumni to multiply their wealth at our expense; Geithner and Summers will do the job just fine. They are cut from the same cloth.
Watch as Team Obama extends the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans in the name of economic "stimulus", keeps the capital gains tax rate at 15%, and maintains the hedge fund tax policy in its current state.
Interesting if they do stop moving into government. The company's importance would then decline. A case of cutting off one's nose to spite the face.
Taibbi's article forgot to mention that Obama's second largest donor was…you guess it right..Goldman. I would not believe either side. they're all crooks that are out to get your money. I do not touch buy anything coming from Goldman or Rolling stones. LIARS….
How about "journalistic capture"? I can't believe you accepted the GS flack's spin that Taibbi was laying the blame for both the tech and housing bubbles on GS's door. All Taibbi was saying was that GS profited immensely from the bad behavior that caused both of the bubbles. And that is why GS is envied and admired. They are like a fast destroyer to the rest of Wall Street's aircraft carriers. Whereas Cit and BofA likely will sink beneath the waves as they continue to take on water from the housing/credit bubble, GS will live to fight another day on its owns terms because it could get out of the way of the mines. Taibbi's perfect setup was starting with the start of the Great Depression – the last time that GS almost died from eating its own cooking. Except for the fact that it did indeed live to another day, it came very close to being that era's Bear Stearns or Lehman. In any event, it was humbled for a half century and its partners never took their eyes off risk ever again until they went public and the risk would be mostly someone else's problem.
Taibbi isn't saying GS was the master puppeter of the two bubbles – they merely exploited them better than anyone else did. Which makes it ludicrous why anyone is spending one red cent of taxpayer money to keep these crooks going. A good start would be campaign finance reform and a ban on all golf/travel/food junkets for politicians paid for by any industry. If you want to influence legislation – write letters like the rest of us little people.
You forgot to mention that they are all jews. They also drink the blood of little christian children.
NB – don't read this post for an evenhanded look at both sides of a complex story. It's more a forcefully-put case for the prosecution.
I just emailed Matt to let him know that he forgot to mention Goldman being the second largest donor for Obama since I know he's in the tank for Obama. They are all liars trying to make news. Ignore these crooks/losers, they don't contribute to anything in your own life. Break free from these evil people.
The fact that they would respond at all is, I think,surprising and says quite a lot right there. Coupled with the fact that their response seems to be pretty weak tea.
You mention, as people often do, how intelligent they are. But intelligence doesn't stand alone. People are complicated. For example, their putative intelligence could be offset by arrogance and avarice.
Take Corzine (please). A rabid Democrat acquaintance of mine told me recently that even the Democrats can't stand him.
Whatever you want to say about Taibbi, there's a lot to be questioned about the way the system works and who it enriches. Rob Johnson also just made this case, on the force of some serious econ street cred, rather a rant. http://www.newdeal20.org/?p=2677
Or, if that coding doesn't work, you can copy this: http://www.newdeal20.org/?p=2677
>>Goldman's partners have pretty much lost
>>their appetite for going into public service.
Now that the jig's up, they no longer want to serve mankind?? Gee, what a shocker!
Matt Taibbi, I salute you.
I'm surprised Goldman hasn't had one of its alums appointed to the CIA so Matt Taibbi can be "eliminated."
But only after Goldman takes out a life insurance policy on him.
Hey rs: You said:
"I just emailed Matt to let him know that he forgot to mention Goldman being the second largest donor for Obama since I know he's in the tank for Obama."
But, here's this from the article:
"FAST-FORWARD TO TODAY. It's early June in Washington,D.C. Barack Obama, a popular young politician whose leading private campaign donor was an investment bank called Goldman Sachs–its employees paid some $981,000 to his campaign–sits in the White House."
I know it's a long read, but maybe you should try it before commenting on whazt is or isn't in it.
Taibbi's article forgot to mention that Obama's second largest donor was…you guess it right..Goldman
except that he more than mentioned it. did you read the article?
It's fun reading flailing posts from members of 'The Party of Personal Responsibility'.
It would be refreshing if you people ever, for a minute, took any personal responsibility for what you've wrought through your greed.
You actually beleive any thing Lucas the Sith Lord says? He's to honest journlaism what Dick Cheney is to warm hugs.
I hear they are scheduling the surgery so that Obama can have his lips permanently sutured to Goldman Sachs collective ass..( ! )..!
Get ready, Salmon.
Your defense of greed may be tested again.
I just heard that Ida Tarbell is about to go after Standard Oil.
I also hear that Rockefeller's already saying that it's all lies.
Lost all respect for you, Felix. Taibbi's article was fairer than it needed to be. I guess I can add you to my list of GS shills.
"[W]e are painfully conscious of the importance of being a force for good."
Now that is truly "hysterical"!
Forget Al Qaeda, Goldman Sachs is the Real Terrorist Organization we need to worry about. They've destroyed our country in the name of greed and used taxpayer money to do it:
http://zerohedge.blogspot.com/2009/05/gu est-post-good-bad-and-gdp.html
It is time to come down hard on the criminal parasites known as Goldman Sachs and start prosecuting them to the fullest extent of the law.
. if Taibbi had a brain ,
—– he would be dangerous
I just loved the comment that "This is Reuters, not Rolling Stone, YOU should know that" referring to blogger's ignorance of CFTC operating policies. Commenter is right. Reuters, you can't BS your way through the regulation battles.
I agree with this writer's Salmon's comments.
I also know Taibbi is not an idiot or hysterical, and he presents a lot of examples to support his charges. The problem always ends up as the fact that Goldman has too many GoldMen running the show in DC. They pretty much own the place, and in my opinion, they may not be the ones actually committing the fraud, or instigating it directly, but they are one of the largest puppeteers pulling the strings on the mice below them, from other CEOs to politicians including presidents.
They PLAN Long term, 20-30 yrs down the line pushing legislation that will enable the plans they put in place, they have spent hundreds of millions on research, and statistical analysis paying the top financial product engineers for decades to dream up scenarios they can manipulate from afar and rake in billions.
Whats really scary is they've accomplished all that now and are likely planning for 20 yrs from now, to rake in Trillions.
Funny that no matter what the politicians and Goldman have to say the public reacts quite violently.
Can it be, we just don't buy it anymore.
And we're to believe anything Goldman says 'why'? Give me a break. This is like a burglar telling why he was justified in torching your house after he robbed it. I'll take Matt Taibbi's word over any capitalist swine any day.
Goldman Sachs got what they wanted. Destruction of competitors ML, BSC and LEH now they will roll in the dough over the coming years. Sorry if I don't consider Goldman Sachs the smartest traders on Wall Street, when you own all the information its easy to make money. At some point ask Lucas van Praag about the weekly market manipulation by Goldman Sachs. Simple example: ask Lucas van Praag who leaked the news prior to the Insurers getting access to TARP? Option volume doesn't lie.
Having read the article in full, I fail to see how Goldman refuted any of the claims. Sure, they were not the only actors and may have been portrayed as a larger portion than they truly were, but the foundation remains.
It seems clear that the piecemeal removal of the safeguards of the depression were strategically initiated by actors fully aware of the benefits provided, blinded by the gravy train, and blissfully and willfully ignorant of the consequences – because they don't care.
The way I see it, if the "parlor" games can be described so succinctly in an article then it is not feasible to purport that the participants of the greatest knowledge were not aware.
I want to say "shame on them", but as I sit on my couch, I know with the fullness of my being that they don't care. They really don't care. The system of protections and laws priviledge them to such a great extent in their grand opulence that they have nothing to fear.
Let's get down to brass tacks in respect of Taibbi's article. If Goldman massively shorted a product on its own book it was selling to other investors as 'appropriate' then on record there MUST be indications/Emails/ research/ opinions that the product(s) being shorted were good, bad or ugly or simply worthless.
If this indeed exists (no one invests billions on the basis of a hunch, not even (especially) Goldman) then there would be a reasonable case against them in terms of their duties to the other clients they were managing who did not partake of this opinion and who should have been protected.
As an aside, has anyone worked out why they had so little -if any- exposure to Madoff?
@ Jon S,
"They don't care". But they will care. Public opinion is massively against them. If they think that doesn't matter, then they're not as intelligent as advertised.
I'm surprised Goldman hasn't ordered one of its alums at the CIA to have Taibbi "eliminated."
We are being governed by "Corporate Terrorists" and unfortunately nothing can be done to change this. They have complete and total control over this "Fake Capitalism", this "Fake Democracy" and this so called "Free-Market".
Curious that BP Oil Chairman, Mr. Peter D. Sutherland is also the Chairman of Goldman Sachs International.
Since BP Oil (British Petroleum) is owned by the British government does that mean that Henry Paulson, was working indirectly for the British government?
Matt Taibbi is one courageous, if outrageous, and efficacious MF (Master Factchecker.) I applaud his audacity and patriotism…could be wrong about 9-11 though.
If everyone understood his message, we might be able to stall the juggernaut long enough to survive as a species.
i believe taibbi says gs donated close to a million to obama
What Goldman Sach's Van Praag's defense tells me is that the scandal is not what Goldman Sachs and the other financial parasites did that was illegal.
To the contrary, the scandal is they did that was legal.
Correction to sentence two above:
To the contrary, the scandal is what they [Goldman Sachs] did that was legal.
reads like a hissy fit rather than a rebuttal
public, you have just been serviced by wall street.
From Iron Maiden, slightly modified "Run to the Hills"
Goldman Sachs came across Wall Street
Getting rich while bringing us pain and misery
Killed our dreams and killed our creed
Took our lives for Goldman's own need
We need to fight them hard and fight them well
Out on Main Street we'll give Goldman hell
But Goldman owns our Government mightily
Oh will we ever be set free?
Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes of Wall Street
Goldman gallops hard onto Constitution Avenue's deceit
Chasing the taxpayers back to their holes
Fighting citizens in the name of free markets is their goal
Manipulating markets with taxpayer money is a stab in the back
It is time for women and children and cowards to attack
Run to the hills run for your lives
It's Goldman Sachs that tells lies
Soldier Goldman sitting on his ass in glass towers
Manipulating and cheating is Goldman's game
Raping the women and wasting the men
The only good citizens are tame
Selling them CDOs and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old
Run to the hills run for your lives
It's Goldman Sachs that tells lies
After reading Matt Taibbi's article in Rolling Stone, could you all remind me again why Martha Stewart went to prison??
Thank you Matt!!! Everyone should read this, and hopefully people will demand answers and get some decent reactions. Congress spends their time doing what? Does anyone there have a clue? They are the robots doing GS's will. Let me also include whatever president we have at the time.
Now I understand why I lost most of my money in the stockmarket in 2000 and I was blaming my Merrill Lynch broker. I thought I became wiser and starting handling my own money but got knocked again last year with the latest stockmarket mess.
I'm alerting everyone I know to read this article. It's an eye opening alarm.
Where were all the tv news channels and commentators? Why did it take a journalist at Rolling Stone to make us aware of GS's swindling ways?
It's time for all Americans to wake up, read, think and also we might as well vote out all the politicans and see if the new group can do any better.
Goldman are simply excellent at making money.
This is because they capture the best talent and brains and do not take excessive risks. To suggest that they are behind a global conspiracy that manipulates governments and markets to fill the pockets of its partners is simply absurd and ridiculous. A team at J.P.Morgan were the inventors of credit derivatives which debunks the myth that Goldman created and engineered the current CDO meltdown for their profit.
The article mentioned private contributions to Obama. Is that separate from the corporate contribution that is listed as the second biggest contribution to the campaign?
When Chutzpa is elevated to CHUTZPA. Goldman Sachs along with Wall Street did a "MADOFF" on taxpayers. While "bankers" continue to enjoy a life they have quickly become accustomed to (think Bernie's uptown move from Eastern Queens NY to Park Avenue — faster than you can say, where is my money), the country is suffering in ways that are just too painful. Where is the remorse? Where is the morality? Where is the restitution? We need a museum of financial atrocities.
Actually, this statement doesn't really address much of the article. The global warming "bubble" is a bit of a leap to stick the rhetorical conceit of the article, and the connections become less tight toward the end, but GS' statement does not address any of the main issues in the piece. And I do not believe their description here of entering into the futures commodities market actually contradicts anything that Taibbi wrote.
This reminds me of Bush and Cheney who ignore millions of protestors outside of their window in DC during the Iraq war, because they know the protestors do not matter. And GS is clearly not afraid of one journalist.
Finally, for the actual blogger, the Taibbi article presents a theory of a conspiracy, which is not the same as classical "conspiracy theory," and yes, there's a BIG difference.
What a joke – the Stock Market is a sham – the high's in the 14,000+ was a lie – amazing what a little info can do for the average joe schmoe out here – well, we can either go to work for Goldman Sachs or just wait out the sham of a market, let it go higher and then pull our money out – I didn't realize that we are all here to fill the pockets of Goldman Sachs – yea yea yea, free market economics – NO SUCH THING – it is all a joke on us out here but not any more -
It is amazing when a little truth comes out – watch as many will jump all over Taibbi's article and try and discredit him – that alone should tell you something – hmmmmmm – how about those Hedge Funds! How about other investment funds – I wonder if they are legit – I think this article is a wake-up for many.
Regulation, regulation and more regulation – you cannot have a free market without it – the biggest joke of all is T.Boone Pickens buying up water rights – the next will be air rights – since when can an element be privatized that is a need of sustaining life – gee, I wonder if Goldman Sachs is investing in T.Boone Picken's business – could someone check that out for me?
I think Taibbi played fast and loose with the truth but that said, the creation of a $2 trillion dollar derivatives market from cap & trade appears to be valid and some of the other criticisms have valid points as well.
Here is a post with the relevant legislative passages on the cap & trade bill which just passed the house.
http://www.economicpopulist.org/content/ cap-trade-new-derivatives-market-wall-st reet
A GS trader wouldn't just sell his mother for some cash – he would deliver.
Fascism, Corporatism at its finest.
Yes, they make a ton of cash.
You would too if you had a Ponzi in the pocket of the Treasury…
My question ?
What part did Mike Milken play in the creation of derivatives or other exotica.
I know he does consultation or some other titled work.
A loophole somewhere to get back in the action.
"By the way, each of the then [1991 CFTC] Commissioners signed off, so it was hardly a secret…"
Hmmmm … so that would have included:
- Wendy L. Gramm (Chairman 02/22/88 – 01/22/93), wife of Sen. Phil, who went on to serve on the audit committee of Enron's board of directors, which also "signed off" on Enron's accounting methods;
- Sheila C. Bair, current chairman of the FDIC;
- William P. Albrecht, can't easily find his current whereabouts, he came to the CFTC from academia (U. of Iowa);
- Fowler C. West, can't easily find his current whereabouts, as of 1997, her was General Counsel for lobbyists The Washington Group;
- Kalo A. Hineman (died in 2003);
- Joseph B. Dial, can't easily find his current whereabouts, he was later (1998) a fellow at Harvard's Institute of Politics.
Maybe someone should ask them.
jck and Jawaralal Bernstein: "It's routine for the CFTC to grant exemptions from position limits for bona fide hedging. This is Reuters, not Rolling Stone, YOU should know that."
The claim in Mr. Taibbi's article (and the claim to which Mr. Salmon is referring above) is that, sure, it's routine *now*, but the 1991 private letter ruling of the CFTC, granting J. Aron a bona fide hedging exemption for a non-traditional (i.e., paper vs. actual commodities) hedging, was the first of its kind. Sullivan and Cromwell, hardly a wild eyed group of revolutionaries, agrees ("Since 1991, when the CFTC granted its first bona fide hedge exemption for a non-traditional hedging transaction" http://tinyurl.com/lxhyfw), as does the Commodity Futures Trading Commission itself in the Federal Register ("Beginning in 1991, the Commission staff granted bona fide hedge exemptions, in various agricultural futures markets … The first such hedge exemption involved a large commodity merchandising firm that engaged in commodity related swaps as a part of a commercial line of business" http://tinyurl.com/muqzk2).
1) What is it that you know that is "over the head" of Rolling Stone, Reuters, Sullivan & Cromwell, and the CFTC itself?
2) Why is it, in a "government of laws," that something as important as the "first bona fide hedge exemption for a non-traditional hedging transaction" ought to be handled via a private letter ruling? Isn't the type of thing that ought to be handled by something like, um, a *law* or, least, a *regulation*, so that other people (e.g., folks who don't like the idea, or even folks who *do* like the idea and might want to compete with GS) know about it?
It seems to me that all the talk one hears about the pros and cons of "government intervention" are hopelessly 19th century. The name of the GS game in the 21st century seems to be:
1. We greatly favor government intervention (*our* kind of government intervention, anyway) over non-intervention
2. *Our* kind of government intervention is the kind that gives us a competitive advantage and that gives our competitors a competitive disadvantage; and
3. The *best* kind of all is the #2 that nobody else knows about.
I think that Mr. Taibbi has opened a real can of worms here, and there are lots of people, on all kinds of points of the political spectrum, who are going to be very interested in this story and where it goes. I think things could get quite uncomfortable for GS; and for Pres. Obama and Sec. Geitner too, if they don't watch out.
How can Praag say they were not responsible (at least partly) for the housing and internet bubbles??? They lowered the lending standards drastically in each case, and everyone always does whatever Goldman does!!! Everyone who knows anything about Wall Street knows that!!! Not responsible??? Come on!!!
We all must do what we can to pressure our government to liquidate GS. They are not too big to fail. America is bigger, and either GS fails or America fails.
It's interesting that no one talks about the predictions for the next bubble referred to in the article: carbon credit trades. Nor that GS has investments in the largest carbon credit exchanges (as do almost all of the major investment banking houses, here and in Europe). Whether bubble blowers or not, GS is very good at spoting trends. It might be wise to take a tip from the best. By the way, Al Gore's company, only a few days ago, tried to buy out a major carbon exchange company, that refused to sell out. Gore's company raised its stake in the exchange from 14% to 19%.
Goldman Sachs should do the world a favor and die.
Bailout 2008, a poem by David Jeffrey:
Like a bloodied warrior,
laying broken and torn.
Like a dying soldier, hopeless and forlorn.
But the blood, it be green,
the color of money.
And the soldier is an economy,
and it is anything but funny.
Broken are it's people and shattered are their dreams.
Thanks to the ultra rich and their full proof schemes.
It is a tragedy with more pain to come.
Finance will be Hell, and their wills will be done.
Did anyone read the whole article, Where's Eliott Ness when you need him? IRS, are they not feared? Would a one percent income tax get the economy going? It works for GS.
The Hunt brothers' attempt to corner the world silver market, during the late 1970′s, created a massive speculative bubble.
The episode would seem to disprove the claim of Matt Taibbi's story byline, that Goldman Sachs has engineered "every major market manipulation since the Great Depression."
Wage and price controls also arguably have constituted a major government-sponsored manipulation of the US economy.
What is so "ridiculous" about Ben Stein's conspiracy theory? Didn't Goldman profit handsomely by betting against mortgage-backed securities it had sold only a couple of years earlier? You bet they did. And what about the $13 billion Goldman got from teetering AIG? Another fact that won't go away.
Mr Salmon, Taibbi may have his own slanted point of view, but relying on testimony from the source of the mess is highly suspect at best. What did you think that they would say…that we're guilty as charged, we've turned over a new leaf and we'll pay restitution? In this regard, your own slanted point of view is no better.
The roads of economic ills that lead to GS are becoming so numerous and transparent that it is almost laughable to believe that any suggestion of impropriety on their part is unfounded. People have been convicted on less circumstantial evidence than what can be dug up on them.
Perhaps you should follow the compilation of "circumstantial evidence" in the "conspiracy theories". And follow the money trail; the money NEVER lies.
Taibbi may have played fast & loose w/ some of facts but the big picture stands in respect to GS exploiting loopholes in regulation and making bets that allow it to profit whether the mkt is going up or down. Furthermore, many of the other I-banks are just as guilty of similar economic exploitation. The difference being that GS always seems to come out on top so you have to ask how does a company consistently come out on top w/o cheating or undue influence. In every other walk of life winners only sustain for awhile and eventually they return to average – just ask the NY Yankees or better yet watch the Tampa Bay Rays and see how long they sustain – they are owned by an-ex Goldman banker.
There are clearly too many GS alumni spread out across our economic institutions which if anything has to create a type of GS incestuous regulatory environment. What this article doesn't point out is the concept of "buyer beware". There are plenty of other smart investors in the world besides GS and clearly there are plenty of dumb ones. One has to ask why do sophisticated investors such as CALPERs or all the buyers of the CDO's didn't stop to ask a few pertinent questions about mortgage quality and risk. They didn't, just as many didn't ask why does an internet start-up a good investment. It all goes back to everyone thinking they are getting a free lunch – for CDO's it was yields more than typical AAA bonds and for internet stocks it was astronomical price return in just a few weeks or months. GS clearly knows how to exploit that stupid greed.
"Van Praag told me that in the wake of the events of the past year or two, Goldman's partners have pretty much lost their appetite for going into public service."
Does this mean they've stopped paying leaving employees bonuses for taking government jobs?
http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/2261 7
This is a classic response from a banker. It reads like the fine print of a credit card statement. What it fails to do is explain why a bank (a public one) should be able to bet on, or more importantly against, the price of oil. What value does that add to society? It is to "hedge" against their swaps? Are you kidding me? Swaps should be illegal as well, thats what got us into this mess. Another overly complicated, unregulated instrument meant to hide assets from the balance sheet.
GOLDMAN PARASITES! Thank you and all the other greedy scumbags on Main St. and Wall St. for wrecking the economy. Sadly your comeuppance hurts the whole world.
Thank you gutless politicians for refusing to enforce our legal codes via the SEC.
Thank you, America, for being so intellectually and morally lazy (and overweight).
An Eagle Scout, a professor with a doctorate, I am no longer proud to be an American.
From the Far East,
p.s. Those of you who think that GS and JP Morgan are not on the inside track of ruining America and making everyone into wage slaves, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop being sheep! Watch:
The Money Masters (free video)
Crash Course (by Chris Martenson, also free)
I know I'm mainly preaching to the converted here, but this will help folks to realize that it's no surprise JP Morgan, Citi, and GS are still around (while Bear, Merrill and Lehman were always fated for destruction). These videos were made WELL before last year's crisis.
Personally, whenever a big corporation screams "CONSPIRACY THEORY!!" without providing irrefutable evidence to the contrary, on all points, you have to just laugh at them, and their big red hand.
The corporations and government would be in serious trouble if the masses had more keen critical thinking skills – a skill that should be mandatory curriculum all throughout grade school and college, IMHO.
Van Praag's arguments against Taibbi's article are specious and full of finance speak. It's no answer at all, just sputtering.
Sorry, Goldman, but the American public doesn't have to read Taibbi's article about you to know that you are "a vampire squid ramming its blood funnel down anything that smells like money".
Here is what I think of Goldman's absurd bonuses, enjoy!
