PARIS - Is there a way that the countries of southern Europe can avoid sinking further into debt at unsustainable interest rates, without resorting to euro bonds, which Germany refuses to consider?
Former IMF director Dominique Strauss-Kahn has an idea that he presented this past weekend at the YES (Yalta European Strategy) Forum which was held recently on the Black Sea coast.
(The speech is the latest effort by the disgraced French politician to reestablish his credentials as one of the world's top economic thinkers after his fall from grace over a series of sex scandals)
Strauss-Kahn explained to the distinguished gathering that since the beginning of the euro zone crisis, the debt of the sturdiest economies, like Germany and France, has become more and more sought after. Investors' "flight to quality" is leaving the most fragile countries deeper in debt and paying higher and higher interest rates.
"If we continue like this, the system will collapse," said DSK. He suggests that the countries with higher ratings, like Germany, "put back into the pot part of their interest rate spread" to help countries like Spain or Italy.
Euro bonds, which would be issued in the name of all euro zone countries, would allow the same thing, "but the Germans refuse to consider them because they do not want to take on the debt. Therefore, we must find another solution, and act on the flow of funds," Strauss-Kahn argues.
Calming markets, buying time
In the mechanism he proposes, the countries of the euro zone would get together every two weeks and decide to surrender part of the interest rate spread to the weaker economies: 150 basis points one hundredth of a percentage point, or .01 %; basis points are used in discussing interest rates from Germany, 80 from France, and so on.
"These countries have an interest in accepting a surcharge in order to avoid the complete collapse of the euro zone. In any case, it would be a temporary measure, which would allow interest rates to return to reasonable levels and would calm down the markets," he said.
Strauss-Kahn believes that this measure would have the same advantages as euro bonds without their disadvantages, as "each country would remain responsible for its own debt." To his mind, the relief that this would bring to the cost of financing the debt would not hurt reform. On the contrary, "Nations must return their public finances to health, but they also need time, or the entire system is heading for catastrophe."
At Yalta, DSK's idea was praised by Niall Ferguson, professor at Harvard, and Robert Zoellick, the former head of the World Bank. The question now is whether it will gain traction in European capitals.

It seems the number of people using some kind of cheat is becoming more common. There are speed cheats, who always have the fastest internet- sometimes several MINUTES faster than my high speed internet- far faster than any "lag' could account for. There are people who have something that interferes with your commands- when they get a batt near yours, yours will not halt. There are those who are so 'fast' they can be 4 blocks away, then they appear next to your batt and are attacking in the same instant. Or who finish and attack on someone else, and start an attack on the next person instantly. Everyone else has several buttons to push before they can, but some get to do it instantly, seemlessly, reliably and all the time.
In short, way too many people are raiding using hacks and cheats that make them all but invincible.

UPDATE: for those visiting here via links, see my recent letter regarding Dr. Richard Muller and BEST.
I have some quiet time this Sunday morning in my hotel room after a hectic week on the road, so it seems like a good time and place to bring up statistician William Briggs' recent essay and to add some thoughts of my own. Briggs has taken a look at what he thinks will be going on with the Berekeley Earth Surface Temperature project (BEST). He points out the work of David Brillinger whom I met with for about an hour during my visit. Briggs isn't far off.
Brillinger, another affable Canadian from Toronto, with an office covered in posters to remind him of his roots, has not even a hint of the arrogance and advance certainty that we've seen from people like Dr. Kevin Trenberth. He's much more like Steve McIntyre in his demeanor and approach. In fact, the entire team seems dedicated to providing an open source, fully transparent, and replicable method no matter whether their new metric shows a trend of warming, cooling, or no trend at all, which is how it should be. I've seen some of the methodology, and I'm pleased to say that their design handles many of the issues skeptics have raised and has done so in ways that are unique to the problem.
Mind you, these scientists at LBNL (Lawrence Berkeley National Labs) are used to working with huge particle accelerator datasets to find minute signals in the midst of seas of noise. Another person on the team, Dr. Robert Jacobsen, is an expert in analysis of large data sets. His expertise in managing reams of noisy data is being applied to the problem of the very noisy and very sporadic station data. The approaches that I've seen during my visit give me far more confidence than the "homogenization solves all" claims from NOAA and NASA GISS, and that the BEST result will be closer to the ground truth that anything we've seen.
But as the famous saying goes, "there's more than one way to skin a cat". Different methods yield different results. In science, sometimes methods are tried, published, and then discarded when superior methods become known and accepted. I think, based on what I've seen, that BEST has a superior method. Of course that is just my opinion, with all of it's baggage; it remains to be seen how the rest of the scientific community will react when they publish.
In the meantime, never mind the yipping from climate chihuahuas like Joe Romm over at Climate Progress who are trying to destroy the credibility of the project before it even produces a result (hmmm, where have we seen that before?) , it is simply the modus operandi of the fearful, who don't want anything to compete with the "certainty" of climate change they have been pushing courtesy NOAA and GISS results.
One thing Romm won't tell you, but I will, is that one of the team members is a serious AGW proponent, one who yields some very great influence because his work has been seen by millions. Yet many people don't know of him, so I'll introduce him by his work.
We've all seen this:
It's one of the many works of global warming art that pervade Wikipedia. In the description page for this graph we have this:
The original version of this figure was prepared by Robert A. Rohde from publicly available data, and is incorporated into the Global Warming Art project.
And who is the lead scientist for BEST? One and the same. Now contrast Rohde with Dr. Muller who has gone on record as saying that he disagrees with some of the methods seen in previous science related to the issue. We have what some would call a "warmist" and a "skeptic" both leading a project. When has that ever happened in Climate Science?
Other than making a lot of graphical art that represents the data at hand, Rohde hasn't been very outspoken, which is why few people have heard of him. I met with him and I can say that Mann, Hansen, Jones, or Trenberth he isn't. What struck me most about Rohde, besides his quiet demeanor, was the fact that is was he who came up with a method to deal with one of the greatest problems in the surface temperature record that skeptics have been discussing. His method, which I've been given in confidence and agreed not to discuss, gave me me one of those "Gee whiz, why didn't I think of that?" moments. So, the fact that he was willing to look at the problem fresh, and come up with a solution that speaks to skeptical concerns, gives me greater confidence that he isn't just another Hansen and Jones re-run.
But here's the thing: I have no certainty nor expectations in the results. Like them, I have no idea whether it will show more warming, about the same, no change, or cooling in the land surface temperature record they are analyzing. Neither do they, as they have not run the full data set, only small test runs on certain areas to evaluate the code. However, I can say that having examined the method, on the surface it seems to be a novel approach that handles many of the issues that have been raised.
As a reflection of my increased confidence, I have provided them with my surfacestations.org dataset to allow them to use it to run a comparisons against their data. The only caveat being that they won't release my data publicly until our upcoming paper and the supplemental info (SI) has been published. Unlike NCDC and Menne et al, they respect my right to first publication of my own data and have agreed.
And, I'm prepared to accept whatever result they produce, even if it proves my premise wrong. I'm taking this bold step because the method has promise. So let's not pay attention to the little yippers who want to tear it down before they even see the results. I haven't seen the global result, nobody has, not even the home team, but the method isn't the madness that we've seen from NOAA, NCDC, GISS, and CRU, and, there aren't any monetary strings attached to the result that I can tell. If the project was terminated tomorrow, nobody loses jobs, no large government programs get shut down, and no dependent programs crash either. That lack of strings attached to funding, plus the broad mix of people involved especially those who have previous experience in handling large data sets gives me greater confidence in the result being closer to a bona fide ground truth than anything we've seen yet. Dr. Fred Singer also gives a tentative endorsement of the methods.
My gut feeling? The possibility that we may get the elusive "grand unified temperature" for the planet is higher than ever before. Let's give it a chance.
I've already said way too much, but it was finally a moment of peace where I could put my thoughts about BEST to print. Climate related website owners, I give you carte blanche to repost this.
I'll let William Briggs have a say now, excerpts from his article:
Word is going round that Richard Muller is leading a group of physicists, statisticians, and climatologists to re-estimate the yearly global average temperature, from which we can say such things like this year was warmer than last but not warmer than three years ago. Muller's project is a good idea, and his named team are certainly up to it.
The statistician on Muller's team is David Brillinger, an expert in time series, which is just the right genre to attack the global-temperature-average problem. Dr Brillinger certainly knows what I am about to show, but many of the climatologists who have used statistics before do not. It is for their benefit that I present this brief primer on how not to display the eventual estimate. I only want to make one major point here: that the common statistical methods produce estimates that are too certain.
We are much more certain of where the parameter lies: the peak is in about the same spot, but the variability is much smaller. Obviously, if we were to continue increasing the number of stations the uncertainty in the parameter would disappear. That is, we would have a picture which looked like a spike over the true value (here 0.3). We could then confidently announce to the world that we know the parameter which estimates global average temperature with near certainty.
Are we done? Not hardly.

|Michael Wells, Lafayette Park (2008)
It was a surprising turn in the argument.
We were standing on the sideline. I was in a heated discussion with an AYSO parent/volunteer who played in our league. (We were arguing about field 'security' - the subject of a forthcoming post in this series.) We were both angry. Apropos of nothing, he shouted "You don't belong here!"And then he shouted it again, and again. It was like a smack across the face.
I nearly lost my composure. Meaning: I thought I was going to cry, right there in front of the two teams, their supporters and the referees. I probably did, in fact. That was definitely one of my worst days with the league.
My interlocutor was, like me, a member of the professional class. I'm a professor, he's a lawyer. We are both in our 40s (am guessing on his account). Neither of us are very good players, not relative to the skill level of the league's best teams. His team - composed entirely of AYSO parents - was slaughtered in competition, week after week. (They got a lot of credit in my book, as they usually played with a good spirit and improved over the season.)
Yelling "you don't belong here" at me was clearly an unconscious projection: for he didn't "belong" on that field any more than I did.
It's funny, but the folks who live around the field never said anything like that to me or to my co-organizers. They never needed to - that I "didn't belong," that I was a guest, was patently obvious.
But I heard "you don't belong here" regularly from AYSO people. Mostly from white men who were visibly uncomfortable with the whole situation: A mixed league in a Latino part of town, run by three anglos who were supporters of the neighborhood's existing fútbol culture, but who had no obvious link to it. (Not obvious was that one of us grew up in LA, played AYSO and has strong connections to the neighborhood; I played pickup in the neighborhood for two years and joined a local team there before becoming involved with the AYSO experiment; the third participant had a good history of working with AYSO - our version of adult AYSO was really his brainchild.)
The first time an AYSO person shouted "You don't belong here" at us I thought he was joking.
One day, I saw an AYSO administrator standing on the outside of the chain-link fence framing the field, yelling at my collaborators and a couple supporters. I walked over to see what was going on. This dude was having some sort of nuclear melt-down, sparked by someone who had set their folding chair down on the turf - which one shouldn't do if its corners are sharp, as it can damage the surface. Not a crisis. One just tells that person not to use that chair, or to put it on top of a blanket. People are happy to fix the problem, especially when you ask them nicely.
For some reason, this man responded to an extremely minor problem by sputtering nonsense about the people participating in our league, whom he described as "dirty" (and he didn't mean their tactics). The stuff he was saying was so insane ("You people are dirty! You don't belong here!"), I honestly thought he was kidding around.
I accidentally made things worse by laughing the guy off and telling my collaborators not to take him seriously. "He's kidding," I said, looking at him and expecting an exchange of jokey recognition. It was right out of a Seinfeld episode, in which a character's behavior is so bizarre that at first everyone imagines it is all an act. I had to walk away: my unintentional dismissal of his lunacy only made him more lunatic.
Nearly two years later, I was doing it again: walking away from a white man about my age, maybe a little older, who was heaping pounds of rage on me (in response to my anger about the above mentioned 'security' problem). Whatever our problems might have been, for him, they were explained by the simple observation: "You don't belong here!"
I'd become so used to moments like this that it was starting to feel normal. I turned my back on him and walked away, like a good referee might.
It was exhausting. In my work with this league, I was confronted again and again by angry men who resented my involvement, or resented the league itself and found me to be a non-threatening target for expression of that resentment - because I'm female? Because I wasn't playing as much as the guys, so I was available for being yelled at? To them, maybe at first glance I register as "some woman," or "somebody's girlfriend." I don't really know what was in their heads when they dished this kind of anger out, but I think it was easier to launch in my direction, because the consequences of doing so were minimal. That's what it felt like.
If I'm turning the focus of my writing to myself, it's because that sentence "you don't belong here" made me think a lot about where I was supposed to belong, according to those guys, and why my presence was so provocative as to produce this constant reminder of my status as interloper - from people who were much bigger interlopers in that particular setting than me. (At least I had a history as a player in the neighborhood, an awareness of the existent fútbol landscape.)
It took me a while to absorb that I really didn't 'belong' there (working with AYSO), and that my departure was inevitable.
At best, I was at risk of allowing myself to be deployed like some sort of proto-colonial missionary, facilitating enough contact with the "population" so that the space could be properly "administered." (Again, that's what it felt like for me.)
My affinities are for pick-up scenes and neighborhood leagues. I liked being a part of that scene. I never wondered where I belonged in those games. Until the police or park officials or whoever asked you to leave, nobody owned that space - whatever that space was, it was created in the game.
As an organizer of a league, as the woman collecting cash, holding the checks and the clipboard, I was not an outsider - I was the host of a conflicted space over which, for a range of reasons, I had no actual authority.
Given the mission statement of AYSO and the national organization's open structure, I thought it would provide a great point of access to a valuable resource - I thought we could get one of the best competitive leagues in the city going in that spot. But there was always something going on there that I didn't understand - trying to run a league there was like trying to play soccer in a hall of mirrors. Telling the story of what we did there is hard, because so much of what we experienced was just bizarre - like that guy screaming at us about how we were dirty.
"You don't belong here" could have been a way of disavowing the awareness "we don't belong here," or, it was just a command: "Get out." Which is what I did, eventually, for a hundred reasons - at the top of those reasons, though, was that I was tired of trying to get a good league going on a field from which the league would be regularly ejected, locked out, and undermined. By the end, we were playing in the outfield of a turf baseball field in an entirely different location. Even though we had as much right to the field at 7th & Union as anyone.
Organizations of all sorts are hollowed out from within by well-meaning people seduced by a sense of entitlement, by those attracted by the desire to control space and people (as if this were a form of "community service"), by the quick high of the power trip, and also, of course, by people who give in to the urge to make a quick buck from their own access to resources. A collective passivity allows this to go on, more or less in the open. In a way, such things are often mistaken for "professionalization" of the game.
One could say this about a youth league, or FIFA. Hell, these words could describe the administration at my university.
The above is a big statement, out of proportion with the incident I describe here - it was just a guy losing his temper at me. But hearing "you don't belong here" shouted at me for the umpteenth time in a setting in which such moments had become completely routine reconciled me to the likelihood that these guys were right, and that whatever "service" this league was providing to the neighborhood, it wasn't one I could be a part of. I'd definitely become a problem, in and of myself.

This morning I couldn't sleep, it was foggy. I've always loved fog. I grabbed my camera, a few bills for coffee and slipped out quietly so Jeff could sleep a little longer. It was a little after five. After taking a few shots in my yard, I was bored. I drove to the beach and ran into a friend walking to work. I watched as he vanished into the fog.
Then I drove to the canal to take pictures of the guys fishing.
I witnessed some lovely fishermen camaraderie. I got quite an education too. I tried to not be in the way. I think I might've been a couple of times. But, they were gentlemen and didn't mention it to me. Mark, Norman and Nick seemed like pretty good guys.
This fish really didn't want to give up the fight. He was in too rough of shape to be thrown back. I think I saw the last breathe of this 38″ (37.5″ to be exact) striper.
R.I.P. big guy
Mark (tan shirt) offered his fish to Norman and his son, Nick. Norman soon had a fish on his line and his son helped him pull it up. It was all a thrill and the fog added some drama to the whole scene…oh, how I love fog.
Later Norman caught another one and released it because it was in good shape. They were going home with two good sized fish (one caught and one gifted already). I appreciated seeing the care taken to get the hook out as cleanly as possible. Norman threw it back into the Cape Cod Canal to live another day.
Swim on little fella, there's mackerel to dine on.
Mark, Norman and Nick were good guys. I bought them coffee to thank them for letting me take photos…it seemed like the least I could do. Mark and I take our coffee the same, "black with cream". I found this funny…black with cream. I'll never order it any other way again.
By getting out of my comfort zone, I was given access to a world I had little knowledge of.
I usually sit on my porch in the morning or walk the same loop.
This morning the siren song of fog lured me to explore and I was handsomely rewarded.
Thanks fellas for one of my favorite mornings in Town Neck.

ANCHORAGE – Alaska is being buried in snow. They've already crushed all records – 160 inches
The worst winter anyone can remember in Alaska (or anywhere on earth) has piled snow so high people can't see out the windows – of the top floors of their houses! It's also kept a tankers in ice-choked waters from delivering fuel on time and turned snow-packed roofs into sled runs.
While most of the nation has gone without much seasonal snow, the state already known for winter is buried in weather that has dumped more than twice as much snow as usual on its largest city, brought out the National Guard and put a run on snow shovels.
As a Russian tanker crawled toward the iced-in coastal community of Nome to bring in much-needed fuel, weather-weary Alaskans awoke Thursday to more of the white stuff and said enough was enough.
"The scary part is, we still have three more months to go," said Kathryn Hawkins, a veterinarian who lives in the coastal community of Valdez, about 100 miles southeast of Anchorage. "I look out and go, 'Oh my gosh, where can it all go?'"
More than 55 feet of snow has fallen in Valdez since November. The 18-foot snow piles outside Hawkins' home are so high she can't see out the front or back of her house. Her 12-year-old son has been sliding off the roof into the yard.
In the nearby fishing community of Cordova, more than 372 inches of snow has fallen since November; snow began falling again after midnight Wednesday. The Alaskan National Guard was called in to help move the snow, and the city is running out of places to put it. Front-end loaders are hauling snow from dump piles to a snow-melting machine.
"That's our big issue, getting our snow dumps cleared for the next barrage of snow," Cordova spokesman Allen Marquette said.
Anchorage had 138 inches fall as of Thursday — more than twice the average snowfall of 60.1 inches for the same time period. The weather service counts July 1 through the end of June as a snow season. More than 17 inches had fallen on Thursday and more than a three feet was expected.
This year's total already broke the record 79.3 inches that fell during the same period in 1993-94. If it keeps up, Anchorage is on track to have the snowiest winter ever, demolishing the previous record of 132.8 inches in 1954-55.

EUREKA (AP) — A 25-year-old California surfer who survived a brutal shark attack said Wednesday he punched the shark in the head until it finally released him.
A day after his ordeal, Scott Stephens spoke publicly about how he was surfing on a popular surf spot off the coast of Eureka. Stephens said he was catching some waves when a young great white shark bit and pulled him underwater. It only released him after he started fighting back for his life.
"I opened my eyes underwater and punched the shark on the side of the head until it released me," Stephens said. "I saw a lot of blood."
Doctors say Stephens suffered at least seven deep lacerations, but none of his vital organs were damaged during the attack. He is listed in fair condition after undergoing surgery Tuesday at St. Joseph Hospital in Eureka, the Eureka Times-Standard reported (http://bit.ly/Rw0Ak6).
The incident was the latest in a string of shark attacks in California this year.
Last week, a 39-year-old surfer died in another shark attack off Santa Barbara County, about 150 miles northwest of Los Angeles last week. A shark expert determined his injuries likely were inflicted by a 15- to 16-foot great white shark.
Two kayakers — one in Santa Cruz County in July and the other in San Luis Obispo County in May — reported that sharks bit their boats.
Experts say great white sharks are found from tropical to polar regions and are not uncommon up and down the California coast, experts said. However, they generally do not attack humans, they said.
There have been nearly 100 shark attacks in California since the 1920s, including a dozen that were fatal, according to the California Department of Fish and Game. But attacks have remained relatively rare even as the population of swimmers, divers and surfers sharing the waters has soared.
An average of about 65 shark attacks happen each year around the world that typically result in two or three deaths, according to the Pew Environment Group.
Stephens said Wednesday the shark severed his leash but he was able to get back on his board and thanks to a wave paddle back to shore.
By then he shouted for help, and several other surfers quickly came to his aid.
"I can't begin to say how appreciative I am of them," Stephens said. "When I reached the beach, I realized how injured I was and how much blood I was losing."
Stephens also publicly thanked the doctors who operated on him and strangers who came to help, calling them "heroes."
He also said he plans to surf again.
"I will be very scared, I'm sure," Stephens said. "I'll definitely have some mental barriers to get through. I think it'll be worth it."

Ainsworth, Henry (1571-1622)
Henry Ainsworth, born 1571 at Swanton Morley, Norfolk, England, and died 1622 at Amsterdam, was the leader of the Brownists or Free Churchmen. In 1593 he joined this church of Independents at Amsterdam and became their preacher. He cooperated on a friendly basis for many years with Francis Johnson, who was the pastor of the church in Amsterdam from 1597 on. In 1610, however, Ainsworth and a large part of the membership withdrew, evidently on the issue of the maintenance of discipline in the church, a point on which Ainsworth did not agree with Johnson. Ainsworth became the leader of the new group and remained so until his death. The church building was assigned to the Ainsworthians. The Johnsonians removed to Emden, East Frisia. Ainsworth was a very scholarly man, versed in Hebrew and other languages, and wrote many books, especially Bible commentaries and polemic pamphlets. He composed a confession of faith, consisting of forty-five articles (English, 1596; Dutch, same year; English reprint, 1598; Dutch reprint, 1680). His complete works were published in 1623, reprinted 1639, and 1870-1884.
Ainsworth declined to join the Reformed Church of the Netherlands. In fact he had more sympathy with the Mennonites than with the Reformed, although he rejected Mennonitism, and made the following remark concerning John Smyth: "God's hand is heavy upon him, in giving him over from error to error and now at last to the abomination of Anabaptism" (de Hoop-Scheffer and Griffis, History of the Free Churchmen, 119). Between Ainsworth and the Mennonites there were many common points of agreement: they held the same views on the origin and organization of the church, its absolute autonomy, its order and government ("avoyding the Popishe disorders and ongodly communion of all false Christians, and especiallie of the wicked Preachers and hirelings," Browne had stated). Both the Brownists and Mennonites had unpaid preachers and pastors; in both groups there was a tendency to distinguish themselves from the children of the world by simplicity of dress and purity of morals (op. cit., 31). Ainsworth's grievances regarding the Reformed Church were many, but he could not resolve to join the Mennonites as John Smyth had done.

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Sophomore tailback Mike Davis will get the first chance to replace Marcus Lattimore at South Carolina.
Gamecocks running backs coach Everette Sands said Tuesday Davis would get the start against North Carolina on August 29th. It's the first time since the 2009 season that someone other than Lattimore will open the year at tailback. The injured Lattimore left after his junior season as South Carolina's all-time leader with 38 rushing touchdowns.
Davis is the 5-foot-9, 215-pound younger brother of former Clemson standout James Davis. The younger Davis rushed for 275 yards and two touchdowns last season. He was an offensive bright spot in last Saturday's scrimmage with 53 yards on four carries.
Sands says the No. 6 Gamecocks will also use backups Brandon Wilds and Shon Carson against North Carolina.

Meg Whitman: Traditional PCs drive growth, not just tablets
HP CEO says PC market contraction is slowing and customers need more than just a tablet for 'real work.'
Hewlett-Packard executives had a lot of positive things to say about PCs in the company's earnings conference call on Thursday. And CEO Meg Whitman said she's seeing renewed interest in traditional PCs over tablets in business.
"There is some momentum in a long overdue PC refresh. What I think commercial customers are understanding from their employees, while they may want a tablet, they actually also need more traditional compute devices to do their real work," Whitman said during the company's earnings conference call for the first quarter of 2014. In the quarter, HP delivered better than expected results.
Whitman isn't completely discounting tablets by any means. For example, she cited the new Slate 7 VoiceTab and Slate 6 "phablet" as promising new products in India.
Another factor driving the growth of traditional PCs in business is the transition from Windows XP. She said that there is a "bit of a tailwind on the migration from XP."
"Overall, the PC market contraction is slowing and we see signs of stabilization," according to Whitman.
Whitman added that the "commercial segment," aka business PCs, was particularly strong, with revenue grew 4 percent over the prior year.
Revenue in personal systems was $8.5 billion, up 3.6 percent year over year. And commercial notebooks "grew double digits" over the prior year period, said Catherine Lesjak, HP's chief financial officer.
Total unit shipments grew 6 percent year over year, with growth in both consumer and commercial segments, Lesjak said.

Trump rollback would ease rules on climate-changing methane
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration moved closer Tuesday to rolling back Obama-era rules reducing oil and gas industry leaks of methane gas, one of the most potent agents of climate change.
The Environmental Protection Agency formally released its proposed substitute for a 2016 Obama administration rule that aimed to step up detection and elimination of methane leaks at well sites and other oil and gas facilities. The agency's move is part of a broad Trump administration effort to undo President Barack Obama's legacy programs to fight climate change by cutting emissions from oil, gas and coal.
The EPA's proposal Tuesday conceded that relaxing the Obama-era rule for methane leaks at oil and gas sites would put an additional 380,000 tons (350,000 metric tons) of methane into the atmosphere from 2019 to 2025. The amount is roughly equivalent to more than 30 million tons (27 million metric tons) of carbon dioxide, another fossil-fuel emission that receives far more attention in efforts to slow climate change.
The EPA noted that overall increased pollution as a result of its proposal "may also degrade air quality and adversely affect health and welfare." Relaxing federal oversight will save $75 million in regulatory costs annually, the agency said.
Kathleen Sgamma, president of the Western Energy Alliance, a Colorado-based group that represents more than 300 companies, said the proposed changes make the EPA rule more efficient and workable. The previous rule was overly burdensome and "full of red tape. This rule cleans that up, makes it more practical" for industry to comply, Sgamma said in an interview.
Oil and gas drillers have "a four-decade long trend to reduce emissions," and the new EPA rules recognize that reality, Sgamma said, adding that she hopes an Interior rule to be finalized in coming days will show a similar practical streak. The pending rule by the Bureau of Land Management applies to fracking sites on public lands.
Environmentalists contend energy companies already have demonstrated they can comply with tougher monitoring and that only poorly operated companies were having trouble with the new requirements.
"Once again, the Trump administration is putting the interests of the worst-operated oil and gas companies ahead of the health and welfare of everyday Americans," said Matt Watson, an associate vice president at the Environmental Defense Fund.
Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown of California on Tuesday told a meeting in San Francisco ahead of a climate conference there that President Donald Trump's proposal to ease monitoring of methane releases is "insane" and "borders on criminality."
"It perhaps is the most obvious and dangerous and irresponsible action by Mr. Trump — and that's saying quite a lot," Brown said.
The EPA under Obama completed the existing rule in May 2016, and it took effect that August. Industry groups pushed the EPA to reconsider, and the Trump administration put parts of it on hold in May 2017.
The rule was reinstated by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., last year after environmental groups sued, and it remains in effect, according to the EPA.
Tuesday's action opens a 60-day period for public comment ahead of any final decision by the Trump administration.
In North Dakota, the nation's biggest oil-producing state after Texas, drillers scaled back production for a time this summer to keep so-called flaring — burning off of methane and other gases pumped up as waste byproducts with the oil — within state limits.
North Dakota Air Quality Director Terry O'Clair said the state typically adopts "nothing more stringent than the federal rules." State officials would reconsider their recently toughened rules on oilfield gas leaks if federal officials loosen theirs, he said.
Brown reported from Billings, Montana. Matthew Daly in Washington, James MacPherson in Bismarck, N.D., and Juliet Williams in San Francisco also contributed.

BenQ E2200HD and E2400HD - 1080P FullHD LCDsby Jarred Walton on November 4, 2008 5:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- Displays
Technology often seems to be running along at a breakneck pace; many people are still trying to find good uses for quad-core Core 2 processors, and yet already those are yesterday's news. Every year, users can count on new CPUs, GPUs, and other hardware to make their once great computer system seem old and outdated. Thankfully, there are areas where progress occurs at a more sedate pace. Yes, once again it's time to talk about displays.
That's not to say that displays haven't changed a lot over the years; besides lower prices, we have seen some technological innovations particularly in the LCD arena. Five years ago, the best you could hope for was pixel response times that weren't atrocious. These days, numerous displays boast 2ms response times, and while the reality may be that typical response times are quite a bit higher, at least that's one area where technology has reached the point that you don't need to worry about it too much anymore.
BenQ is a company that has been around for a while in one form or another. Originally established in 1984, the BenQ name officially came into existence in 2001, when they separated from Acer. While they do make other peripherals (Joybook laptops, optical drives, digital cameras, phones, and even a mobile Internet device), BenQ is best known among computer users for their displays and projectors.
Their latest "innovation" is that they are leaving behind 16:10 aspect ratios and instead going with 16:9 FullHD/1080P displays (at least for some models). Why is that important? Honestly, if all you ever do on your PC is surf the web, play games, and do office work there's a very good chance you will not appreciate the difference. Where this is useful is in support for native HDTV resolutions. Instead of a vertically stretched image filling your 16:10 display or black bars on the top and bottom, you can watch HD content at its normal aspect ratio and have it fill the whole display. This is supposed to help with watching the latest Blu-ray movies, but there's just one small problem: a lot of HD content doesn't use a 16:9 (1.78) aspect ratio. Instead, many DVDs and Blu-ray movies now use a 2.39 AR, so you still end up with black bars on the top and bottom.
Certainly there is an amount of marketing involved in promoting FullHD/1080P LCDs, but 16:9 video content does exist (and gaming content as well -- Assassin's Creed being a prime example) so there are occasions where this isn't pure marketing hype. How big of a benefit the 1080P resolution is will depend largely on how much multimedia content you view. Note also that the two displays we are looking at today support HDMI, so besides functioning as computer LCDs they can also stand in for an HDTV, or you can hook up an Xbox 360 or PS3. In that case, the native 16:9 AR can be very important!
Today we are looking at the BenQ E2200HD and E2400HD. Both have a native resolution of 1920x1080, with the difference being that one is at 24" panel and the other is a 22" panel (technically 21.5"). In terms of features and appearance, the two LCDs otherwise look identical. Naturally, the larger E2400HD does cost more, but depending on your eyesight the extra ~$100 may be money well spent. If you only plan to use your display as a computer monitor, we wouldn't worry too much about the debate over 16:9 vs. 16:10 AR -- instead, get whichever display offers the best image quality at the most reasonable price. What we want to find out then is how well these new BenQ displays perform. After all, if image quality, processing lag, or other aspects are really poor, aspect ratio support may be the least of your concerns. So let's get to it.

shithead3656 - Tuesday, March 31, 2009 - linkVery nice revie. I only read the e2200hd review bcoz i plan to buy that model once my 17" CRT goes BOOOOM. xD
Anyways, I wish you guys can review the Samsung 2233SW(which is benq's E2200's rival)(Guys, i know the samsung has no speakers and HDMI, but usually monitor speaker ain't good and you can buy HDMI>DVI converter). But im my contrie, Samsung 2233SW is steadily going up in price, so bcoz of that I'm also looking at Samsung 2033SW. I will be waiting. And you guys at anandtech ROCK!
swordenium - Friday, May 1, 2009 - linkGo for the 2233SW!! or preferably Its older bro 2243SWX which has more features and includes a DVI cable!!! Both Asus Vh226H and Benq E2200HD are gr8 monitors for price yet Image quality and colors(too unnatural Benq) leaves a lot to be desired!!!! so so......but Samsung 2233SW (reviewed by techtree and pcworld)and 2243SWX are accurate in colors!!! and have awesome IQ!!! Just it lacks HDMI input! which I dont care!! DVIs handle HD resolutions well!! of course, u have a hdmi to dvi converter!!
tofool - Monday, February 23, 2009 - linkhow do you remove the base stand as pictured in the article?
Jalamari - Monday, February 23, 2009 - linkhi i had some trouble with the base stand too but got it finaly.
the screws holding stand are behind the small silver plastic piece where the monitors tilts, it has 4 clips on top and bottom so you should be able to remove it by squeezing the plastic from top and bottom and pulling it away from monitor if its too tight try to help it with flat screwdriver
virtuoso5 - Monday, December 1, 2008 - linkIs it true that this display does not work good with 720p signals?
I wanted to buy this to connect also the Playstation 3 and most games are 720p (the console makes no upscaling to 1080).
zzzxtreme - Monday, December 1, 2008 - linkI just tested connecting my laptop to a 32" Samsung 720p LCD TV through VGA. LCD TV's brightness are typically from 450nits-500nits.
It is freaking beautiful. You get all the quality panels and chipsets.
The days of monitors are over.
Benyss - Sunday, November 30, 2008 - linkPlease HELP. Benq 2400HD ror PS3? Yes or No? Thanks.
Tonyjr - Wednesday, November 19, 2008 - linkThey further dropped the price of E2200HD for "early black friday" $209 promo code "E2200HD".
Cashmoney995 - Monday, November 10, 2008 - linkThe best thing that I have going on in my APT is my cheap 12$ VGA clone box I got from monoprice. I currently have my 16:10 1680x1050 display cloned to my Samsung 50 inch LED DLP tv in my living room. Added in a wireless kb and mouse and I can access the same computer in my office in my living room. Ahh the beauty. EXCEPT that 1680x1050 has some weird cut offs on the DLP. With a real 1080P monitor I can clone my desktop perfectly on the tv.
nubie - Wednesday, November 5, 2008 - linkI am looking for a real 1080p display for about this price as a TV, but the lack of 1080i or 720p support is kind of a deal killer.
I am just assuming 1080i isn't supported, but what do I know?
If you have a tuner/DVD player that will support 1080p output then I would love to use this screen. Pixel splitting is a pet peeve of mine and I love the crispness of a 1:1 source and display ratio.

Your teams did their market research. They ran an array of consumer insight sessions. They found the customers' real Need. They ran professional ideation and storyboard sessions. They created prototypes and performed market tests. They developed their go to market strategy. They executed their plan. Product sales fell dramatically short of expectations. Why? What did they overlook?
Organisations can control the end to end innovation process but there is one thing that they can't control – competition. Many organisations make the mistake in believing that competition is only external. Competition is pervasive and attacks you from many angles, including internally.
I am frequently called into organisations to help them manage post mortem reviews when new solutions have failed to take off or achieve the target market penetration. There are, of course, a multitude of things that can go wrong during the innovation process but with good insight and good management many of them, which I will discuss in later articles, can be caught and captured before they cause too many problems. Invariably I find that organisations with well managed innovation processes, if left to their own devices typically conclude that the go to market strategy was to blame. But that is only a part of the story.
When creating your solution your Innovation teams must work side by side with senior stakeholders and other lines of business to develop a deep, empathetic 360 degree understanding of every competitive influencing factor, from brand perception through to channel enablement that will affect the design and eventual uptake of your product. Your Innovation team and senior stakeholders should not work in isolation and have to be encouraged and pushed to spend as much time as possible listening to the needs and wisdom, not just of customers, business partners and industry analysts but also to the needs of their own internal stakeholders. Collectively they must then work together to integrate their findings into the final solution and this includes the go to market strategy. Solutions with the greatest staying power are produced by organisations who build desirable products that can adapt and stay relevant despite the competitions best efforts to destroy their sales.
The competition will come at you from every angle, some of which will be unexpected. The best way to combat the competition is to get inside their heads, understand their access to resources and see the world from their perspective. Asking the right questions and analysing your insights after you've finished designing your solution is too late. At best your company will end up having to invest extra resources and money reworking it and at worst by the time it's finished, for the second time, you may have also lost your first mover advantage.
Anatomy of a War Room
When I work with organisations one of my first actions, once the market needs have been clearly identified, is to create a War Room which runs parallel with the innovation process. The War Room's objective is to provide the Innovation teams and senior stakeholders with unbiased real world views, opinions and insights which will help the Innovation team create more rounded and robust solutions and Go to Market strategies that have proven communicable value and are flexible enough to adapt to a continually evolving, dynamic environment.
Once the market needs have been clearly identified, create a War Room which runs parallel with the innovation process.
War Rooms are made up of four teams of experienced volunteers taken from the audience they represent and temporally these teams should provide insights that span the whole marketing life of the solution. For example, if your solution has a marketing life of three years your teams should take a three-year view of the market.
Team One should be comprised of handpicked individuals from your target customers, many of whom you should have talked to during your Needs market analysis. In time these stakeholders can also become your beta testers and early adopters.
Team Two represents your rivals and can be divided into sub-teams that represent a mix of competitors. While you will never get your rivals working with you there are still ways you can get a wide range of insights into their world; therefore, this team can be made up from a mix of industry analysts, new employees who recently worked for your competition, freelance consultants, industry partners and trusted channel partners.
Team Three represents your organisation's own business and should have participants from each of the lines of business who will be responsible for warehousing, shipping, marketing, supporting, financing and selling the solution. Organisations that are vertically integrated are particularly prone to internal conflict so understanding the agendas and dynamics of your own organisation cannot be over stated enough.
Finally, Team Four is your Innovation and R&D team – they need to listen and interpret the opinions of the other three teams and integrate the findings in to the final solution. One additional consideration you must account for, particularly if you are developing a solution for a global market is cultural bias and again this can be incorporated into your War Room.
Below are two examples of organisations I've worked with and how I used War Rooms to uncover the hidden detractors that were stifling sales. If they had each created a War Room during the solutions development lifecycle then we wouldn't have needed to do a post mortem and put fixes in place after the products launch. In addition the solutions would have sold faster and better and would have resulted in a better ROI which, as many of you know, is a very important measurement when trying to secure the next round of funding for new innovations.
Notes from the Front Line
1. Fortunes favour the aligned
As we move into the world of 'as a Service' and Cloud computing, a global market worth over $400 Billion, the world's largest hardware and software manufacturers are in an arms race to create a new breed of converged systems, systems that integrate storage, compute, network and software into a single unit or 'stack'. While these new breeds of systems help customers quickly build new 'as a Service' revenue streams they also dramatically reduce their ICT departments operating costs. On the flip side manufacturers see converged systems as a means to an end – a way to own the data centre, so as you can see these systems are important.
Recently I had the pleasure of working with one of the world's largest technology companies who tasked me with getting to the bottom of what they saw as a slow product ramp up. The product itself was the result of over $1 Billion of investment and over 500 man years of development time. Consequently it had many USP's over the competitions products. The market need was there, the price point was appropriate, the company's brand and channel were strong, the company Executives had made it clear to the sales force that they had to take the product to market and sell it and the sales forces had been extensively trained. Surely a Win Win was on the cards. So why were sales so slow to ramp up? Were the organisations expectations unrealistic? No. The company was suffering from internal competition. Why? The organisation hadn't taken care to craft compensation plans that aligned with the corporate objectives and this created internal competition and conflict which dragged down sales and contradicted the organisations careful customer focused marketing initiatives.
The market need was there, the price point was appropriate, the company's brand and channel were strong (…). Surely a Win Win was on the cards. So why were sales so slow to ramp up?
The company was a vertically integrated enterprise split into Compute, Storage and Network lines of business but it was now trying to sell a horizontally integrated product. So while the sales force had listened to the Executive communications and taken the training the sales teams in each of the individual vertical lines of business were still being compensated to only increase the sales of their traditional product portfolios – the same traditional product portfolios that had now been knitted so neatly together to create the new converged system. Compensation drives behaviour.
For example, a salesman in the Network business was given a target to increase sales of networking equipment in his territory and hitting those targets got him paid and more importantly kept him in a job. Despite this though the business commanded him to sell the virtues of the new converged system to his customers. While he would get paid for the network component selling the new converged system meant he had to talk a new language with a new suite of alien customer stakeholders he'd never spoken to before. In addition to this because of the horizontal nature of the new technology he would also have to bring in sales and technical people from the Compute and Storage lines of business who still 'owned' their part of the solution, suddenly the sales team had just tripled in size and in some cases he would have to relinquish the control of the opportunity itself and this would put his target – a target that the other salespeople didn't individually care about, in other people's hands. In the salesman's mind all this was simply an unappreciated distraction that created complexity, uncertainty and increased the sales time so the organisations salespeople were reverting to type. They were keeping it simple, selling what they knew to people they knew and retaining control of the opportunity and their own careers.
In the end resolution was simple. Recertify the sales force and assess their skills, comprehensively align the sales forces compensation plans so they were focused and paid against the organisations objectives and align the technical and managerial resources horizontally.
2. Yes, your competition hates you
A little while ago I was invited to work with one of the world's largest Telecoms organisations to help them increase their American and European revenues. Today over 40,000 of their employees have forward facing R&D responsibilities and they have over 30,000 patents to show for it. In addition to this they have an annual growth rate of 20% Year on Year so outwardly it would appear that they are in a strong, if not dominant, position.
When you look through their annual reports though and speak to their Executives you quickly come to realise that a lot of this growth is being driven by Africa and the BRIC countries and that over the next five years they expect to reach saturation levels which will cause their growth to tail off. Consequently this knowledge was what was driving them to make a concerted push into new territories. So why did they need help? You would be forgiven for thinking that they could port their successful Go to Market strategy across to their new target markets but despite their clear market dominance and innovative product launches they couldn't. Why? They faced two highly disruptive, external competitive influences.
The first problem they faced was executing their Channel Strategy. This organisation is a significant competitive threat to the revenues and profitability of one of America's largest technology companies and that organisation had worked hard to make their channel partners aware that when contracts came up for renewal they wouldn't look favourably on those partners who had chosen to take on their competitors portfolio of products.
Secondly, as if being blocked out of the US and European channels wasn't enough the organisation also faced significant trust and perception issues. While I won't go into details here many of you will know that you can develop world-class products but if your organisation has a 'brand' issue then at best you face a very long and protracted battle to win back the hearts and minds of your prospective customers.
The resolution is a work in progress still and will be for a number of years. Resolving the Channel execution issues was straightforward. If it is difficult for you to recruit partners then you need to boost your direct coverage model. While the direct sales model is organisationally resource intensive, more costly and limits your market coverage it does give you control. Perception however is a harder issue to resolve and there are very few quick fixes.
Perception, however, is a harder issue to resolve and there are very few quick fixes.
Firstly, you have to get a deep 360-degree empathetic view of the problem and take time to understand the root cause. When you are certain you know the root cause then, and only then should you start formulating your strategy and that strategy must rebuff each issue with unbiased, evidence based facts. Resolving a perception problem often needs a multi-disciplinary approach so the company is now investing significant sums of money into the top five target territories, working closer with regulators and Governments, appointing a new Non Executive board made up of industry veterans, working more openly with industry analysts and fighting hard to win big, strategic referencable customers.
While the progress has been slow the company has so far seen a 400% growth in Europe and a 140% growth in the US.
Your sales and marketing teams wage war and fight battles every day to win new business. War Rooms provide insight not just into your competitor's strategy but also highlight your own weaknesses. They let you simulate battles in a controlled way and help you design better products and strategies that equip your teams with the right tools. A prepared army with a strong strategy has a greater chance of winning.

GoDaddy Inc.GDDY could be a stock to avoid from a technical perspective, as the firm is seeing unfavorable trends on the moving average crossover front. Recently, the 50 Day Moving Average for GDDY broke out below the 200 Day Simple Moving Average, suggesting short-term bearishness.
This has already started to take place, as the stock has moved lower by 2.9% in the past four weeks. And with the recent moving average crossover, investors have to think that more unfavorable trading is ahead for GDDY stock.
If that wasn't enough, GDDY isn't looking too great from an earnings estimate revision perspective either. It appears as though many analysts have been reducing their earnings expectations for the stock lately, which is usually not a good sign of things to come.
Consider that in the last 30 days, 2 estimates have been reduced, while none has moved higher. Add this in to a similar move lower in the consensus estimate, and there is plenty of reason to be bearish here.
That is why we currently have a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) on this stock and are looking for it to underperform in the weeks ahead. So, either avoid this stock or consider jumping ship until the estimates and technical factors turn around for GDDY. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here .
Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
It's not the one you think.

text: I had a pretty good Sunday night all things considered. I know that most of the country were sitting in bars, attending parties, or perched like zombies in front of their TV's while drinking beer and eating high caloric snacks. There was some sort of big game on that evening. I don't know as this is one of those nights that I look forward to all year to go out. In peace and quiet. Let me explain. I purposely don't even pay attention to the game. The commercials now pretty much suck. Two teams I could care less about play in it. The half time show is an abomination and features crappy pop acts that make me want to gag. Seriously, it's a waste of a whole night for me. I'd rather hit the gym then wash up and head out to a nice restaurant followed by seeing a good movie. You have to understand that living here in NYC we are constantly surrounded by a population of 8 million people who are everywhere. There is hardly ever a time that we are truly alone out in public. Add in the thousands of tourists that jam into the city all year long and it's a total clusterfuck of humanity here. I sometimes daydream about having this all turn into a zombie apocalypse where I roam the streets hacking off their heads. Also, it's the slow zombies not those crazy running video game zombies. Eff that. The more I kill the less people there are crowding into everything. I score extra points for lopping off the craniums of undead tourists too! Continue reading The glory of being alone in NYC on big game Sunday.

Fifty-nine U.S. senators have asked European antitrust regulators to speed up their investigation into Oracle's planned acquisition of Sun Microsystems, due to Sun's "deteriorating financial condition."
The senators, led by John Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat, and Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican, called on the European Commission to "expedite" its investigation into the $7.4 billion acquisition, in a letter sent Tuesday.
"The deal between Oracle and Sun was announced in April and seven months have gone by without a resolution," Kerry said in a statement. "Continued delay of the European Commission's decision on clearance threatens thousands of American jobs, so we felt compelled to ask for a speedy resolution."
Sun reported a net loss of $120 million for the first quarter of its 2010 fiscal year, with the quarter ending on Sept. 27. The company reported a net loss of $2.2 billion for its 2009 fiscal year, compared to a net loss of $403 million for its 2008 fiscal year.
Oracle CEO Larry Ellison has said that Sun is losing $100 million per month as it waits for the deal to close.
Unless European antitrust regulators wrap up their investigation soon, there could be layoffs at Sun, the senators wrote. The U.S. Department of Justice concluded its own antitrust investigation in August without finding any problems with the deal, the letter said.
European regulators have concerns over competition in the database market, but Sun's open-source MySQL serves a tiny portion of the European market, the letter said. Oracle is the largest vendor of proprietary database software.
"Unfortunately, Sun Microsystems' financial position has become more precarious and the Commission's inquiry has continued," the letter said. "Some have raised concerns over the company's ability to continue to employ its thousands of workers. Accordingly, we respectfully request the European Commission complete its investigation of this transaction as quickly as possible."
Earlier this month, the European Commission issued a formal "statement of objections" over the deal, saying it would hurt competition in the database market. That statement doesn't necessarily mean the European Commission will block the deal.

Actually… money wins.
Quick saga recap: Usher's managed by his mom for years. Usher meets Tameka. Mom hates Tameka. Usher defends Tameka's controversial reputation. Tameka gets pregnant. Mom gets booted. Tameka marries Usher. Usher's new album sucks. Usher reconnects with Mom.
Usher now separated from Tameka?
That's the word according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Given the rather tepid response his new album has received, Usher clearly wanted to go back to a winning formula – enter mom, exit wife.
It's a sh*tty situation but I can't say I can't relate.
My mother has emotionally and superstitiously blackmailed me for years. If she wants me to do something she knows I don't want to do, all she has to tell me is that it'll be good luck if I do it. If I'm doing something she doesn't want me to do, all she has to tell me is that it'll be bad luck if I do it.
If she senses hesitation, she'll remind me of all the times she was right. Times I was embarrassed, humiliated, brokenhearted. Works every time. Like just last night.
I arrived back at the hotel after dinner to find my father watching the baseball game on the couch and my mother ironing my clothes. She asked me what I'll be wearing the night of the party. I've been hoarding this hot dress I bought at Intermix in LA in July. Pink and black stripes, super short, super tight.
She told me I looked low classy and "cheap cheap", dirtier than the "whore girls that hang out at the Asian karaoke bars".
Instead she picked up an off white, gauzy number – very elegant and demure, below the knee and beautiful but not what I had initially pictured. I explained this to her.
She told me cryptically that it would be in my best interests "luck"-wise to go with the off white. Then she went back to ironing as a very pregnant DOT DOT DOT hung in the air.
And I tried, you know? I tried to be strong. I tried to brush off her schemes. I tried to fight her mind-f*ck. But inevitably, it never works. I won't be able to wear "my" dress without the psychological weight of wondering what will happen. Will I trip? Will I get fired? Will I get hit by a bus?
Best to wear "her" dress. Her dress will be safe. It always is.
So I'm wearing her dress. Because my mother said I should.
And if you're planning to suggest that I need therapy, my answer to you that no therapist can cure me of my mother. It's not possible.
Attached – Usher and Tameka in happier times. Sort of.
Mom Wins
Actually… money wins.
