Barcode Yourself is a complete, interactive experience in the series of barcode art, created using the personalized data of participants.
Enter an individual's gender, weight, height, age and location, and the barcode is formed using real-world data. The individualized barcode can then be printed, mapped, scanned, even depicted on a t-shirt or coffee mug. Uber-geeks can even test out their barcodes on their next grocery run. It is in scanning a barcode that the project reveals its humor, like a banner that reads: Disclaimer! Human beings are not merely worth somewhere between one cent and 10 dollars. It is here, within the confines of an American obsession with "worth," in which the fun begins. Instinct - The easiest way to learn a musical instrument.

TagTélé - BeatBox - Cuisine. Here's a structure that won't provide shelter from wind or rain, and is only marginally better when it comes to the midday sun.
So, why build it? Because in the absence of walls and a roof, it defines an outdoor space without constraining it. It's a unique architectural blend that places you both inside and out at the same time. The structure is called a pergola, and it's just the thing to bring backyard landscaping to life. Pergolas were common features of Italian Renaissance gardens, often covering walkways or serving as grape arbors. Funny Pictures on your Mobile. Magic Tricks Revealed : Learn Popular Illusions Free: Video Series. In this free video clip series, our expert will demonstrate and explain many popular magic tricks and illusions, explaining step by step how to reproduce their impressive effects.
Impress and confuse friends and family with a wide variety of magic tricks! The art of magic and conjuring has been prevalent for hundreds if not thousands of years, baffling and astounding audiences with tricks that convince them the impossible has been achieved. There are several categorizations of illusions, such as vanishings, transformations, restoration and levitation, and many of the most popular tricks a magician can demonstrate use cards or coins. This sort of magic, commonly called street magic, is highly respected due to the closeness the illusionist must keep with his audience.
Although the veil of secrecy is usually impenetrable amongst magicians, it is possible to work alongside a professional magician or illusionist and learn from his techniques.

Although I'm an infantryman I'd say that the engineers are a better way to go for a reg NCM. Having lost mortars and assault pioneers the chance to do interesting things has gone down a bit in the infantry.
I'm also wondering what's a typical day for a REG soldier once he's finished Occupational training?

Okay, Grace or Gracie?
Grace - ehhh, it's wayyyyyy too popular for me to ever use. Gracie is an animal name (in my opinion). I don't care too much for either. What about Gracelynn?
Gracie just isn't a name you can really grow with. =/

I like Grace. It's much more suited for an adult in my opinion. My little girls middle name is Grace and I've grown to call her Gracie every now and then, but I'm the only one who does. It's like my little special nick name for her. Which could maybe be the same for your dd and your dh.

lots to see. Particularly enjoyed the Willem Hothouzen (spelt wrongly) canal house you can visit at the SE end, furnished as per 17 th century
We loved wandering along this canal, and others in the canal district. The bikes parked on the bridges, the barges and cruise boats sailing along below, lots of cafes, little shops and the flower market are all just so atmospheric and typical of what we expect in Amsterdam, as tourists.We had lunch in De Prins. What a fantastic authentic Dutch cafe - across from Anne Frank's House.
We took a 2-hour cruise in the main canals of Amsterdam.They are absolutely lovely, with many boats that are actually homes of people, a lively atmosphere and great architecture all around.Highly recommended.
I have taken the canal cruise many times and never tire of seeing the beautiful homes and business along the canals. Definitely worth it.
We enjoyed staying in a hotel on the Herengracht. Fun little cafes to sit and enjoy the views. Spent many hours strolling in all the neighborhoods and shopping nearby. Easy access to many of the museums in the area. From Herengracht, we walked to the National Museum, Anne Frank's House, and The Dam.

Welcome, we're glad you're here.
Do You Feel Bad About Yourself?
Don't You Want to Feel Good About Yourself?
Do you feel good about yourself? Or do you feel bad about yourself?
If you are feeling bad about yourself, you probably have the habit of comparing and judging yourself against other people. You think you are lacking something they have. You call it your failure and your deficiency. That's why you feel bad about yourself.
We Judge Things as Good or Bad
In school we learn that to understand things we must label them
. With our textbook knowledge, we make distinctions between objects, make judgments and assign value. We get a good grade in biology by tagging each plant with its genus and species, by identifying similarities and making distinctions. We learn mechanics better when we can compute a formula for the movement of a steel ball rolling down an inclined plane. To learn literature, we analyze the theme, plot and character motivation of a story.
In our daily life, we also classify people the same way
. We measure people for their beauty, wealth, knowledge, confidence and skill. But for beauty to exist, we must also see ugliness. For motion to exist, we must also have stillness. For wealth, we must see poverty. These are all qualities of degree. We spend a lot of time assessing the degree of wealth, the degree of activity, the degree of beauty for whatever or whoever comes into our life.
Why You Feel Bad About Yourself
Academic knowledge is deconstructive
. It tears down the whole to identify its parts. When it comes to understanding yourself and the life you lead, the worst approach is deconstructive. You struggle to understand yourself, and you examine each aspect of your identity. You measure yourself against the social yardstick you learned. You question your motives. You judge your character. You compare yourself to your friends. You measure your wealth and your appearance and your success. Every day, over and over, you judge yourself. And as always, you find yourself coming up short.
You feel bad about your actions, too
. You also waste a lot of time second-guessing your choices. You thoughts are full of I should-have, I could-have, and I would-have. Your mind is like a brass scale, weighing and balancing, teeter-tottering back and forth in the world of ideas, trying to find equilibrium. It's hard to calm down your thoughts.
Other People Want You To Feel Bad About Yourself
I used to have a job at a small Internet company
. The work was right up my alley and I know that I did well. But every year, the owner conducted a job evaluation. The procedure was quite formal. I was asked to complete a written report of self-evaluation. The highlight of the report was this question: On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your performance this year?
My first impulse was to make a joke. For this kind of money, youll never find anyone any better, I thought to myself. Of course, the boss wanted me to criticise myself and feel bad about my work. But after some reflection, I decided that I could not answer this question, and I told the boss why.
The only way to rank my performance is to have a measuring stick for comparison. All activity is relative to the scale you use to measure it. With what yardstick was I to rank myself? If you compare my management skills to Hillary Clinton or Condoleezza Rice, I fall dismally short. But if you compare my work to the homeless lady who sleeps under the bridge, I look pretty darn good.
What Makes You Feel Good About Yourself
I don't feel bad about myself anymore
, because I have stopped judging myself and my actions. Now I have a better yardstick for my life than job evaluations, politicians and homeless people. Instead, when I want to feel good about myself, I ask myself how well I used my talents and resources. Have I found the best job for my skills? Does my work give me happiness and contentment? Have I looked in the right direction for personal fulfillment? None of these questions ever came up at my job evaluation, because the boss doesn't care. But I care and I want to feel good about myself.
Turn Off Your Negative Self Talk
So here you are again, feeling bad about yourself
. It is the result of analyzing, criticizing and deconstructing yourself. Your self-talk will always find something wrong if you let it. With your thoughts racing in your mind, the brass scale can never come to rest. Wont you turn off your negative self-talk before it tears you apart? Whats the point of it all? Is this the best way to live life? If you turn off your self-talk, if you stop picking on yourself, you won't feel bad anymore. Give yourself a chance to know the real you and to like the person you are. This person is someone you can feel good about.
Let Nature Teach You How to Feel Good
Ill tell you how you can feel good about yourself
. Dont work so hard at life. Dont judge yourself critically. Do not expect yourself to be a paragon of perfection. Do not blame yourself when things go wrong. Do not measure yourself against others. Trust your nature. Live peacefully. Just be.
Life is a mystery
. Time is a mystery. Growth is a mystery. Despite all the scientific research, the essence of life remains a profound mystery. There is no yardstick that can take the full measure of a human being. Instead of trying to understand, measure and criticize, recognize that you are like the sparrow riding the wind or the violet blooming in the grass. You are like the water spilling over the stones. Water does not judge the speed of the current. It does not measure the distance to the shore. It does not count the fallen leaves. You do not have to judge yourself anymore. You are one more creature of the world, living with self-awareness and introspection. Come to terms with life. Grow in peace with yourself.
So, today, just let life happen to you
, like the flowering of a violet. See yourself as a sparrow in flight. Think of yourself as a tree standing in the sunshine. Imagine yourself as the water flowing in the creek. The water does what fulfills its nature as it seeks its own level. You can be like the water. You can feel good about yourself. Life is life.
I hope life brings you much success.
I wish you a very happy day.

The Truth.
Nationalize the railways and not banks? Here is a better idea: Nationalize them both. Then while you're at it, go ahead and nationalize the American Auto industry too. Once you've done that, nationalize the oil and gas industry.

"As news headlines report riots and food shortages in Third World nations, during March and April more than 5000 people on Australias eastern seaboard were able to hear the inspiring story of Cuba's survival when faced with starvation and its transition to ecological sustainability.
Roberto Perez, a Cuban biologist and permaculturist, toured Australia to some of the biggest crowds ever seen for a Cuban activist.
The World Wide Fund for Nature rated Cuba as the only environmentally sustainable country in its 2007 report.
Perez brought a message of immense hope and survival against all the odds. He described how the Cuban people turned to various methods of organic farming after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cubas main trading partner. This resulted in the loss of access to oil, fertilisers and food.
Those who have seen the documentary The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil, in which Perez features, will know just how close Cuba came to mass starvation.
While in Australia Perez addressed more than 30 gatherings, gave more than 20 media interviews and was applauded by radicals and conservatives alike.
Cubas achievements in the wake of its socialist revolution have come despite implacable opposition from the US, including a devastating blockade. Prensa Latina reported in September Cuba's foreign minister, Felipe Perez Roque, said the economic siege, which has lasted close to five decades, had cost the island nation over US$89 billion.
Robyn Francis, one of the organisers for the Perez tour said, People have come in such large numbers to hear Roberto because many have seen the movie Power of the Community and found it empowering and inspiring. They know things have to change they âre looking for a success story. This is an amazing success story in the face of adversity.
Francis said that Perez had spoken in many small country towns like Violet Town, where 130 people came to hear him. Hundreds came to meetings in the capital cities; in Brisbane 550 people attended a meeting on April 16. The Brisbane meeting was opened by Sam Watson, an Indigenous activist and the Socialist Alliance national spokesperson on Indigenous affairs, and was emceed by Jerry Coleby-Williams from ABC TVs Gardening Australia.
In the facilitated panel discussion that followed, Perez highlighted the need for urgent action to turn around climate change. He compared the state of soil degradation in Australia with that in Cuba, which was being regenerated through sustainable agriculture.
Perez explained how Cuban society, based on collective not individual aspirations, with human needs not corporate profits as its motor force was able to
rapidly respond to the peak oil crisis: switching to permaculture and increasing use of sustainable technology. Discussion from the floor raised questions of the potential of such a transformation in Australia.
Even regional centres like Lismore, Geelong and Daylesford attracted more than 200 people to meetings featuring Perez.
One of the more curious stories of the tour involved an address that Perez gave to the Kuringai Council Chambers, north of Sydney. One hundred and fifty people attended, and conservative mayor Nick Elsbeck was moved to proclaim at the end that We've got a lot to learn from Cuba. Thousands more Australians now agree."
From the page: "The Bush administration tried and failed three prior times to oust Hugo Chavez since its first aborted two-day coup attempt in April, 2002. Through FOIA requests, lawyer, activist and author Eva Golinger uncovered top secret CIA documents of US involvement that included an intricate financing scheme involving the quasi-governmental agency, National Endowment of Democracy (NED), and US Agency for International Development (USAID). The documents also showed the White House, State Department and National Security Agency had full knowledge of the scheme, had to have approved it, and there's little doubt of CIA involvement as it's always part of this kind of dirty business. What's worrying now is what went on then may be happening again in what looks like a prelude to a fourth made-in-Washington attempt to oust the Venezuelan leader that must be monitored closely as events develop.
Since he took office in February, 1999, and especially after George Bush's election, Chavez has been a US target, and this time he believes credible sources point to a plot to assassinate him. That information comes from Alimamy Bakarr Sankoh, president of the Hugo Chavez International-Foundation for Peace, Friendship & Solidarity (HCI-FPFS) in a November 11 press release. Sankoh supports Chavez as "a man of peace and flamboyant champion of human dignity (who persists in his efforts in spite of) growing US blackmail, sabotage and political blasphemy."
HCI-FPFS sources revealed the plot's code name - "Operation Cleanse Venezuela" that now may be unfolding ahead of the December 2 referendum on constitutional reforms. According to Sankoh, the scheme sounds familiar - CIA and other foreign secret service operatives (including anti-Castro terrorists) aiming to destabilize the Chavez government by using "at least three concrete subversive plans" to destroy the country's social democracy and kill Chavez."
The Socialist Party and The War
"The Socialist Party of the United States in the present grave crisis solemnly reaffirms it allegiance to the principle of internationalism and working class solidarity the world over, and proclaims its unalterable opposition to the war just declared by the government of the United States. Modern wars as a rule have been caused by the commercial and financial rivalry and intrigues of the capitalist interest in the different countries. Whether they have been frankly waged as wars of aggression or they have been hypocritically represented as wars of "defense," they always have been made by the classes and fought by the masses. Wars bring wealth and power to the ruling classes, and suffering, death, and demoralization to the workers. They breed a sinister spirit of passion, unreason, race hatred, and false patriotism. They obscure the struggles of the workers for life, liberty, and social justice. They tend to sever the vital bonds of solidarity between them and their brothers in other countries, to destroy their organizations and to curtail their civic and political rights and liberties. The Socialist Party of the United States is unalterably opposed to the system of exploitation and class rule which is upheld and strengthened by military power and sham national patriotism. We, therefore, call upon the workers of all countries to refuse support of their governments in their wars. The wars of the contending national groups of capitalists are not the concern of the workers. The only struggle which would justify the workers in taking up arms is the great struggle of the working class of the world to free itself from economic exploitation and political oppression, and we particularly warn the workers against the snare and delusion of so-called defensive warfare. As against the false doctrine of national patriotism we uphold the ideal of international working-class solidarity. In support of capitalism, we will not willingly give a single life or a single dollar; in support of the struggle of the workers for freedom we pledge our all. The mad orgy of death and destruction which is now convulsing unfortunate Europe was caused by the conflict of capitalist interests in the European countries. In each of these countries, the workers were oppressed and exploited. They produced enormous wealth but the bulk of it was withheld from them by the owners of the industries. The workers were thus deprived of the means to repurchase the wealth which they themselves had created."
From Marxism in Britain and France, to Marxism in Japan. Historical documents on the French and German Revolution. I personally enjoy the American Marxist section.

A Ghostbusters review for the impartial.
I haven't seen Ghostbusters in a VERY long time, and as such my experience with the game was not filtered by much nostaliga. Because of this, I may have a different opinion of the game than many others.
The short version:
Buy it if you're a huge Ghosbusters fan, rent it otherwise unless you find it for a good price.
The long version
: The game is essentially a movie tie-in for a third Ghostbusters film that never happened. The story is original and written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. It's good, for the most part, but falls into some cliches later on. Also, there seems to be a little too much of doing things that are a homage from the previous films. Don't get me wrong, the films were good, but this makes the game a bit predictable at times. Like, you KNOW you're going to have to fight the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. There are a couple unexpected things near the end, however.
The voice acting is excellent. All the original cast is there save for Rick Moranis and Sigourney Weaver. Even the Mayor and Peck are voiced by the original actors, which greatly surprised me. The one weak point is Alyssa Milano, who plays a new character that is fairly devoid of personality. I'm not sure if this is more the fault of the writing or her performance, but I'll blame her because she's not Harold Ramis.
The gameplay is very similar to other third-person action games, most of all Dead Space, which is not at all a bad thing. You get cash for bustin' ghosts, which you can use to upgrade your different weapons. The weapons are nothing too unique. They essentially play like a lazer with a magnum-like secondary fire, flamethrower with a grappling hook, freeze ray with a shotgun, and machine gun that has a tracking beacon much like one of the guns from the Resistance series. They all LOOk unique, but they operate much like weapons used in other games, except that instead of reloading (you have infinite ammo for every weapon on singleplayer) you need to stop and vent your weapon when it becomes overheated. Trapping ghosts involves weakening them with your weapons, throwing a trap down, then wrangling them into the trap using either the thumbstick or motion controls (if you choose) on the PS3 and probably the Wii.
There's also a bit of an investigation element. You can find collectible items worth money in the game by using your goggles and PKE meter. You also need to use this to progress through parts of the game, and it never ceased to be fun for me. This mechanic is like an extremely simplified version of the CSI-thing in Condemned 2.
I have two major complaints with the game that almost caused me to give up on it entirely. The first is that several of the bosses are either uninteresting, cheap, or altogether not very fun. The second problem, which ties in VERY closely to my first, is that the teammate AI is TERRIBLE at times. I have spent more time during boss fights reviving my teammates than I did damaging the actual bosses, and I was only playing on the medium difficulty setting. Some of the enemies can incapacitate you or your teammates in one or two hits, and running around reviving teammates make the game feel more like an escort mission during some battles (or, in a sense, a bit like a tower defense game). Imaging playing Army of Two or Gears of War, and you lose your health and need a teammate to revive you. Now, imagine that said teammate is mostly worthless, and you have Ghostbusters. Thankfully the moments when you have more than one Ghostbuster with you seem fewer than when you either are alone or only have one person with you. Reviving one teammate is far more tolerable, save for one moment in a graveyard which had me cursing at Ray Stanz repeatedly because he could neither defend himself nor revive me without dying.
The multiplayer is, very surprisingly, my favorite part of the game. I have yet to try every mode, but the ones I've tried were entertaining, though not especially creative. You choose one of four main weapons (though you have the ability to pick up temporary weapons) and as you gain XP (cash) during multiplayer you gain upgrades to that weapon. Your choice of player models is limited to the Ghostbusters, and you can't create a character, so that was a slight annoyance of mine. Another small thing that I noticed and loved was a sort of title given to each player at the end of matches, much like the ones given to players at the end of sets in the Rock Band series. It's a bit useless, but it's fun and keeps things interesting.
On the PS3 it was good, but I felt it wasn't quite worth $60. $40 at best. The PC version of the game DOES in fact cost $40 (I believe) but I would recommend against buying it because it's lacking multiplayer of any kind. I'd wait until that version costs $20 or until they release a multiplayer mode.
Speaking of multiplayer, why, oh why was this game made without a co-op campaign mode (online or otherwise)? Nearly all of my problems with the game would have been solved if they either spent more time on the teammate AI or just given me the option of playing with PEOPLE. Nearly any human player would be smart enough to revive their teammates when THREE of them are unconscious at the same time. But I digress...
In summary, if you're a fan of the Ghostbusters franchise, you probably already own this or are planning on getting it, and rightly so, because it is extremely faithful to the series (perhaps to a fault). If you aren't, wait until it's cheap, or simply rent it sometime. Or ignore it entirely, because you're not missing a whole lot that hasn't been done in other games.
, unless you're really into the films, in which case add one point for the amount that you...love...Ghostbusters. Geez, I don't know. I can't measure love.
As an aside, I got a free movie ticket for buying it, so that was kind of nice. It expires after July.

DS games, me selling them OR I almost bought WAR for $25 today
I'm hope I'm not breaking any usage guidelines or anything by doing this, but I'd like to state that I'm selling two DS games on eBay. I'm selling
Gyakuten Saiban 2
(an imported Japanese copy of the sequel to Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney) and
Professor Layton and the Curious Village
If it helps this post be less spammy, let me state exactly why I'm selling these games. You see, I'm saving up money to purchase a half-decent PC. With said half-decent PC, I plan on buying Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning and, eventually, Dawn of War 2. My laptop can't run WAR, and it probably won't be able to run Dawn of War 2. I'm contemplating selling my Xbox 360 for a PC, but if I did so, I would miss out on games like Rock Band 2. I would still be able to play Fallout 3, so that wouldn't be a problem, but there are some console-only games coming out in the near future that I would prefer not to miss out on.
Let me ask, first of all, in the opinion of the good members of the Destructoid community, is WAR worth the time? Is it truly better than WoW?
Also: Would it be better to buy individual PC parts from
Tiger Direct
and assemble a computer myself, or should I configure one from Dell, Alienware, or
? Or, OR, as a third option, should I buy a fully built PC from somewhere and the replace the video card/RAM/whatever?
There. Surely now the post is more than me advertising my eBay sales. Oh yes.

Not my Turning Point gaming rig OR $30 laptops are not good for gaming.
Well, here it is, my entry for the
Turning Point PC contest
There it is. I got it for roughly $30 from a very lucky bid on
. I can play some games on it, but not very well. I mostly use it for Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War (which runs okay if I turn everything down), and I would use it for Team Fortress 2, except that it can't run the game without crashing at random intervals. So, that was a waste of $30 (for TF2, I mean). :/
I do, however, have a bitchin' Futurama mousepad. I looked all over teh Internets for an official one, but the best one I could find was a custom job from eBay. I enjoy it thoroughly.
One last shot, from a different angle. I'm hoping to win this contest primarily for the ability to play three games: Team Fortress 2, Dawn of War 2 (which I'm pretty sure is going to use the Company of Heroes engine), and Warhammer Online (which I don't know the requirements for, other than the FAQ which says "The second best system for sale next summer"). I'm mostly a console gamer, but I would REALLY love to try Warhammer Online. I never got into WoW, mostly because I would feel a bit aimless playing it. Like, there's no overall goal for me other than to get phat lewt, or whatever. With Warhammer, however, there's more of a competitive nature to it, from what I've read. Also, Warhammer Online is Warhammer, which instantly makes me interested in it.

The d20 System can [do unsavory things] to [parts of my body] OR Ethan Haas is a nerd
Years and years ago, back when Star Wars was unspoiled by the sheer crapitude that would come from the prequels, I used to play the pen-and-paper Star Wars RPG. Actually, I was the
for it, but still, I was fairly heavily involved in playing pen-and-paper RPGs. For a while, I was without any friends who would agree to playing such an RPG. Recently, I found out that some of my friends in Saginaw used to play a TON of
, and the like, and they want to get a new campaign going with some game they haven't played before. I've been wanting to get back into this kind of thing for a while, and now I'm looking for a good RPG core book to get started with. Here's what I'm looking for:
-A non-
d20 System
game, because I dislike d20 combat.
-An interesting setting.
-Possibly a superhero-ish setting, because it's easier for me to come up with campaigns for that.
-A game that isn't too rules-intensive.
So far, I'm thinking of either
Scion: Hero
, the upcoming
Alpha Omega
, or even the
Authority RPG
Any suggestions for RPGs or reasons why the above are awesome/terrible would be greatly appreciated.

The importance of "good" graphics OR I didn't like Gears of War that much.
After reading some of the comments on
this post
, I began thinking about next-gen graphics. To me, if a game runs well, without slowdown, jaggies, or other little technical glitches, I consider it to have "good" graphics. I don't care about normal mapping, bloom lighting, or anything along those lines, unless it directly affects the gameplay. Really, I'd rather play a game that has style over technical horsepower. For example, I'd rather play Paper Mario than Gears of War. But then, that's only if I'm playing games for something to LOOK AT, as opposed to something I can interact with. I can understand why someone would see a crappy movie simply for the special effects, surround sound, and so on, but would you play a crappy game just because it has good graphics? Really, if graphics are so important, then why isn't Lair selling like crazy? My point with this is to ask, are graphics really THAT important in the long run?
Ack. This is a rambling, incoherent post. But I'm writing after working the night shift, so I have an excuse.

You should own and already be playing this: Part the First
The Hitman Trilogy for the PS2 and PC!
It got this for $30 off of Amazon a couple weeks ago, and let me tell you, I think this is a very, VERY underrated series of games. Granted, I'm still on disc one of the trilogy (which, actually, is Hitman 2: Silent Assassins, seeing as the original game was only on the PC), but still, this game is really amazing to me. I like the freedom in this more than the freedom offered in GTA, the stealth in this more than I enjoy anything offered in Splinter Cell or Metal Gear Solid, and the action in this game more than...well, actually, there isn't too much of that in the game. I mean, there CAN be, if you're either not very good at the game or want to simply mow everyone down and finish the mission, but you get so much more out of playing the game if you restrain yourself. And really, how many games can you make that statement with? I mean, the game is MORE fun when you kill LESS people. It's like the anti-FPS, in a sense.

Hi there! I'm Andy, and I like to play on things that use electricity. I mostly make use of my Playing Station the Third, and I sometimes play Team Fortress the Second on my lapping top. I live in Michigan, and it sucks. I believe that I may currently be in the throes of a quarter-life crisis, if such a thing exists.

The Department of Labor (DOL) recently entered into an agreement with GreatBanc Trust Company settling claims relating to its service as trustee of an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) holding stock of a private company. The DOL had claimed that the stock of the company had been overvalued in a sale transaction. The settlement agreement describes the DOL's view of the obligation of an ESOP trustee to evaluate an appraisal it receives for the private company stock held by the ESOP. According to the DOL, trustees must do more than simply look at an appraisal report and toss it in the file. Pages 13-22 of the Settlement Agreement outline the steps the DOL believes trustees should take in selecting a "valuation advisor" and analyzing the advisor's work product before accepting it. Documentation of that analysis is also important.
In addition to agreeing to follow the process outlined in the Settlement Agreement, GreatBanc also agreed to pay more than $4,722,000 to the ESOP and $477,000 to the DOL as a penalty for a fiduciary breach relating to the improper stock valuation.
Individuals who serve as trustees of an employer's ESOP may want to review and follow the DOL guidance in valuing the employer stock held by the plan.

Financial Markets Regulation:
Financial Crisis Highlights Need to Improve Oversight of Leverage at Financial Institutions and across System
GAO-10-555T: Published: May 6, 2010. Publicly Released: May 6, 2010.

In 2009 GAO conducted a study on the role of leverage in the recent financial crisis and federal oversight of leverage, as mandated by the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act. This testimony presents the results of that study, and discusses (1) how leveraging and deleveraging by financial institutions may have contributed to the crisis, (2) how federal financial regulators limit the buildup of leverage; and (3) the limitations the crisis has revealed in regulatory approaches used to restrict leverage and regulatory proposals to address them. To meet these objectives, GAO built on its existing body of work, reviewed relevant laws and regulations and academic and other studies, and interviewed regulators and market participants.
Some studies suggested that leverage steadily increased in the financial sector before the crisis began in mid-2007 and created vulnerabilities that have increased the severity of the crisis. In addition, subsequent disorderly deleveraging by financial institutions may have compounded the crisis. First, the studies suggested that the efforts taken by financial institutions to deleverage by selling financial assets could cause prices to spiral downward during times of market stress and exacerbate a financial crisis. Second, the studies suggested that deleveraging by restricting new lending could slow economic growth. However, other theories also provide possible explanations for the sharp price declines observed in certain assets. As the crisis is complex, no single theory is likely to fully explain what occurred or rule out other explanations. Regulators and market participants we interviewed had mixed views about the effects of deleveraging. Some officials told us that they generally have not seen asset sales leading to downward price spirals, but others said that asset sales have led to such spirals. Federal regulators impose capital and other requirements on their regulated institutions to limit leverage and ensure financial stability. Federal bank regulators impose minimum risk-based capital and leverage ratios on banks and thrifts and supervise the capital adequacy of such firms through on-site examinations and off-site monitoring. Bank holding companies are subject to similar capital requirements as banks, but capital levels of thrift holding companies are individually evaluated based on each company's risk profile. The Securities and Exchange Commission uses its net capital rule to limit broker-dealer leverage and used to require certain broker-dealer holding companies to report risk-based capital ratios and meet certain liquidity requirements. Other important market participants, such as hedge funds, also use leverage. Hedge funds typically are not subject to regulatory capital requirements, but market discipline, supplemented by regulatory oversight of institutions that transact with them, can serve to constrain their leverage. The crisis has revealed limitations in regulatory approaches used to restrict leverage. First, regulatory capital measures did not always fully capture certain risks, which resulted in some institutions not holding capital commensurate with their risks and facing capital shortfalls when the crisis began. Federal regulators have called for reforms, including through international efforts to revise the Basel II capital framework. The planned U.S. implementation of Basel II would increase reliance on risk models for determining capital needs for certain large institutions. The crisis underscored concerns about the use of such models for determining capital adequacy, but regulators have not assessed whether proposed Basel II reforms will address these concerns. Such an assessment is critical to ensure that changes to the regulatory framework address the limitations the crisis had revealed. Second, regulators face challenges in counteracting cyclical leverage trends and are working on reform proposals. Finally, the crisis has revealed that with multiple regulators responsible for individual markets or institutions, none has clear responsibility to assess the potential effects of the buildup of systemwide leverage or the collective effect of institutions' deleveraging activities.
