Bruce Springsteen closed out the Australian segment of his 'High Hopes' tour in Brisbane today (Feb. 26) with a show that confounded even the most devoted of his setlist followers. Springsteen revisited his past in unprecedented fashion and shocked everyone with a cover of the Bee Gees' 'Stayin' Alive.' Here it is for your viewing enjoyment:
Although the Bee Gees were born in England and recorded their classic disco hits after moving to Miami, the Gibb brothers got their start as professional musicians as children growing up just outside Brisbane. Their return to England in 1967 helped jumpstart the first wave of their popularity, with songs like 'To Love Somebody,' 'Massachusetts' and 'I've Gotta Get a Message to You.'
Throughout the tour, Springsteen has been paying tribute to Australia's musical history. He's performed AC/DC's 'Highway to Hell' at most of the dates (including this one, where he was joined by Eddie Vedder). The Sonics' 'Just Like Fire Would' has been featured at every show, and the Easybeats' 1966 hit 'Friday on My Mind' and INXS' 'Don't Change' were played in Sydney on Feb. 19.
But it was what came after 'Stayin' Alive' that was most surprising. Springsteen followed it up with four songs from his 1973 debut, 'Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.' Later, he played his second album, 'The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle' in its entirety, something he's only done once before, at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 7, 2009. Glenn Radecki, an expert in Springsteen's tour history, tweeted, "There is no known setlist that ever had more than 10 songs from the first two albums combined." The full setlist, which also included rarities like 'Save My Love' and 'Fade Away,' is below.
The 'High Hopes' tour will conclude its first leg this weekend with two shows in Auckland, New Zealand, where we fully expect him to cover both a song by Crowded House and OMC's 1996 hit, 'How Bizarre.' He will mount a five-week tour of the United States beginning April 8 in Cincinnati.

HRC's Eric Alva Speaks about DADT and Obama's Defense of Policy
Marine Staff Sgt. Eric Alva (Ret.) was the first American wounded in the war in Iraq when, on March 21, 2003, while traveling to Basra, he stepped on a land mine. In 2006, Sgt. Alva began working with the Human Rights Campaign, the "largest" LGBT Rights organization, to speak out against the military's now (but likely temporarily) halted "don't ask, don't tell" policy (DADT). He now tours nationally for the organization and continues to lecture about DADT.
On Friday, October 15, 2010, just days after a Federal Judge ordered an injunction against enforcement of the unconstitutional policy, the Gay and Lesbian Association of San Antonio College hosted a lecture by Sgt. Alva as part of their Coming Out Week events.
Sgt. Alva began his lecture by discussing his tenure in the military and its abrupt and tragic end, with the triggering of the land mine. He went on to explain that, after his medical discharge, he contacted the HRC to find out how he can work with them to educate and inspire a repeal of DADT. Not only did his lecture included his personal experiences working toward a repeal, but he also used the opportunity to address the division within the LGBT community, stating that he never refers to us as a "community," but instead prefers to refer to us as a "populace" because of our varied lifestyles, opinions, culture, etc.
It is very likely that the Department of Justice will appeal the lower court's decision to the 9th circuit in an effort to halt a judicial repeal of the policy. If such appeal is perfected, it means that the Obama Administration is attempting to keep the policy in place, rather than repeal it as has been stated by Obama to be his goal. You can read more about that issue, here, including discussion of other cases which were not appealed by the justice department.
Sgt. Alva, in addressing the recent injunction, Obama's appeal of the decision and the fact that Obama has continued to refuse to sign an executive order ending the policy, stated, "I do not want Obama to sign an executive order, ending don't ask, don't tell." He went on to explain that, if the president chose to end the policy it would put an end to the discussions; discussions he believes are important in light of the recent and highly publicized LGBT youth suicides.
DADT has been the policy of the United States Military for approximately 17 years. Prior to implementation of the policy, the military's policy was simply, you can't serve if you're gay.

K. Patrick Ober, MD
Mark Twain was interested in almost everyone he met, and he met just about every type of person imaginable in his years as a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River. "When I find a well-drawn character in fiction or biography," Twain wrote in Life on the Mississippi, "I generally take a warm personal interest in him, for the reason that I have known him before – met him on the river."
Physicians have the same privilege of being able to meet just about every kind of person there can be.
Many of the people we meet are memorable in the best of ways. We readily take a warm interest in them, especially the ones who are personable, interesting, kind, appreciative, brilliant, insightful, admirable, and inspirational.
Then there are the other ones.
They are the ones who drive us just a little crazy. They are the ones who are excessively demanding, the ones who try our patience to its limits, the ones who waste our time with their unreasonable requests.
They are easy to recognize.
They make us feel uncomfortable, primarily.
We don't know why we feel so uncomfortable. We just do. And our inability to know why we are uncomfortable makes us even more uncomfortable, and our discomfort builds on itself.
They are the ones who don't seem to stay around for long. We may notice [if we are attentive to things like this] that such demanding patients rarely come back to see us for a second visit, and we may feel – transiently, mistakenly – grateful for their disappearance from our lives. The discomfort they brought with them goes away when they are gone from our lives, but something that is vaguely and oddly and intangibly good seems to have disappeared too with their departure…was there something else we were meant to discover?…possibly something of value?…whatever it is, it is gone, with them…
How did that happen, their abrupt disappearance? Perhaps they sensed the same personality mismatch we did, and chose of their own accord not to return. Perhaps they picked up on our nonverbal cues that signaled our insincerity even as we went through
the motions of caring. All we knew was that our day was already too long, our clinic too packed, and our wait list for appointments interminable. They become a "no show," and our day improved.
Our ability to chase off the bothersome ones, without appearing to be doing it, can be an art form.
It is easy to rationalize, too. Why should we work so hard to connect to this single overly demanding human being, when there are so many others where the connection comes easy and the fulfillment is natural?
Sometimes, though, for reasons inexplicable, we invest some extra time, extra energy, extra compassion, and we find a way to reach out this human who now sits before us.
Our reward is a second visit.
[Our reward is our punishment.]
Predictably, we will be the recipients of more demands, more infuriation, more vexation, and more weariness.
We knew that at the start.
And, yet, on that return visit, it starts to feel like a good thing has happened, even though it doesn't make any sense to us at all why we should look at it as a good thing.
When I was out of commission in early 2013 from multiple pulmonary emboli, Dr. Xanthia Samaropoulos was one of the wonderful colleagues who stepped in to take care of my patients.
During my days of convalescence, "X" sent me a note to bring me up to date on the status of one of my more difficult patients, Polly Henderson [a fictional name]. Polly tends to be a challenge for any doctor she encounters. She typically comes across as obstreperous and uncooperative and abrasive, and she can be overtly hostile when she is having a particularly bad day. Most of the days of her life have been particularly bad days.
I was sorry that Xanthia was going to have to deal with her – I considered Polly my personal burden – but I was also curious about how it would all play out.
Polly's background and mine are considerably different, as are our life experiences and our worldviews. Polly and I have had to travel a long rocky road together for a couple of decades to get to where we are now, a place of shared understanding and mutual respect. I think we have both learned a lot from each other by toughing it out together, though the learning curve has been steep and thorny.
I used to dread seeing Polly's name on my clinic schedule, once upon a time.
Now I almost look forward to it.
But I felt bad that any of my colleagues would have to be blindsided by meeting her without me to buffer the vitriol, or at least be warned.
Polly still overwhelms and intimidates anyone who meets her for the first time, and that alone makes it extremely challenging to take care of her. She seems to be aware of this tendency, too, on the infrequent occasions she seems to have a speck of insight [not that she has ever made any effort to change her ways]. If she needs a doctor when I am away, she will usually wait things out for a few days until I come back. She knows how badly it always goes for her with a new doctor [including me, when I was her new doctor], and she does her best to avoid the bilateral emotional trauma of starting over with a stranger.
In January of 2013, I was going to be out of action for a good while, and Polly needed an endocrinologist. She couldn't wait it out until I returned. The stage was set.
All of which leads us up to the story of Polly's arrival on a surgical subspecialty service with messed up blood sugars.
It was predictable that Polly might leave behind a trail of traumatized victims.
Dr. Xanthia Samaropoulos told me the story.
Xanthia started the tale by sharing with me the progress note written by the resident on the endocrinology consultation service after they were summoned by Polly's surgical team to help in regulating Polly's out-of-control diabetes.
SYNOPSIS: Endocrinology was consulted for glycemia management. Briefly, Polly Henderson is a 47 y/o F w/ PMH significant for Type 1 DM.... With regards to her DM, she is followed in clinic by Dr. Ober. Most recent HbA1c was 9.0%.... She is very reluctant to receive advice on her DM management from anyone other than Dr. Ober...
Subjective:Seen and examined today. No events overnight. Blood sugars continue to be elevated... Discussed need to increase insulin regimen, however patient declines. She states that only Dr. Ober can make adjustments to her insulin regimen.
Assessment:Ms. Henderson is a 47 y.o. female w/ PMH significant for type 1 DM. Endocrinology was consulted for glycemia management. Ms Henderson is quite particular and prefers for her insulin to be adjusted only by Dr. Ober (who is unfortunately unavailable). As patient has medical decision-making capacity, we must abide by her wishes.
The resident's note created a strange sensation in me. I was accustomed to being bludgeoned by Polly in person; it was odd to learn that she was using me as her cudgel to beat upon other doctors in my absence.
After listening to the resident's presentation of the situation, Dr. Samaropoulos went to see Polly in person and introduce herself as my colleague. Her goal was to calm Polly's misgivings about my absence, and to try to gain some trust and buy-in to work for better regulation of her diabetes.
Xanthia encountered a feisty lady full of opinions, full of assumptions, and full of big plans...and full of cuss words.
"X" described her first colorful meeting with Ms. Polly Henderson:
When I first entered Ms. Henderson's room she was on the phone with a family member -- she was yelling into the phone and I caught the last bit which went something like "I'm going to make them discharge me today whether they agree or not because with what you are doing, you are going to KILL my d*** cat!!"
Xanthia wisely withheld her curiosity:
I wanted to ask what was being done to the cat, but thought better of it...
Dr. Xanthia Samaropoulos explained that she was my colleague, filling in for me in my absence until my health improved. This news only magnified Polly's ire, and she ventilated it all to Xanthia:
She told me that once she "got out of this d*** hospital" she was "going to call Mrs. Ober and come over to Dr. Ober's house to help make him better faster" or else she "was a lost cause" in regards to managing her diabetes.
Xanthia spoke of her concern for me:
I do hope your number is unlisted...
She also reached a practical outcome, in typical Xanthia-style:
By the way – we were able to get the sliding scale correction that "Dr. Ober handwrote for me!" that she keeps posted on her refrigerator door and she is much happier for it...WHEW!
So there you have it, a glimpse at a patient we might generously classify as a "difficult patient."
Mark Twain would call her "a well-drawn character," and suggest she is one of the people we are fortunate to meet on the river of our life's journey.
They drive us crazy.
They often enrich our lives.
They may even deserve a tribute.
I have taken care of her for many, many years. She is a sad soul who has had a hard life, and I suspect she has been treated badly by many people on many occasions, in ways we can only guess. She distrusts almost everyone, and if half of what she says is true, she distrusts with good reason. She distrusts doctors particularly, and has had bad interactions too numerous to mention. Her technical care has been good each time, I believe, but it is the emotional work of connecting with her that is overwhelming at times [possibly at ALL times?].
She wears her anger on her shoulder. I was surprised that she came back for her second visit to see me, years ago. During the first visit, I felt I was being flogged without mercy, and I didn't know where I had sinned. The first five minutes of each visit, even to this day, are typically laden with undirected anger [which, for many years, I thought was directed at me, for reasons unknown to me, until I understood her anger was at the world at large]. And yet…she kept coming back. I finally realized that I was the person in her life who would listen to her and honor her as a person, without judgment, for those 5 minutes of introductory tirade, blasted out of the same cannon she fired at Xanthia. I had no choice but to listen [I had NO idea of WHAT to say!], and that turned out to be what she was really looking for. I don't think I treated her with honor because of a wish to appear to be noble. As I remember it, my goal was simpler than that…I simply hoped to survive the encounter.
She seemed to be a person in pain back then, and she still does. Her approach to life is to be in a constant attack mode. She is like a rattlesnake, always rattling the rattles, to scare off potential enemies before they get closer to her [not realizing that she also scares off potential friends]. In a life where experience has taught her that the number of potential enemies outnumbers the number of potential friends, the risk/benefit ratio of chasing off EVERYONE works to her advantage. [Or at least that is the approach to life she has developed...]
Her only relative is her adult daughter, who apparently has serious psychiatric disease [or so I have been informed on numerous occasions], and they are frequently estranged.
Her cat is her sole companion most of the time. We often talk about her cat during clinic visits. It's how I can get her to be cheerful, happy, upbeat. [She does have a good sense of humor, veering toward the cynical end of the scale...].
I am sure it is the untrusted daughter who was looking after the cat.
Her diabetes regulation, as is the case for so many of our patients, has less to do with insulin doses and more to do with everything else in life. She actually is a "good patient," in the bizarrely physician-centric way in which we use that term: she takes her insulin reliably, monitors her glucose routinely, sends me results weekly...even though the numbers are always an uninterpretable roller coaster whenever I try to spot any patterns.
Whenever I call and try to find out about details surrounding the erratic numbers, I discover that each of the 300s and each of the 30s on her paper is the result of an unanticipated life event. I can't anticipate any of them for her; she can't predict them for herself. As they say, "life happens," and her life happens as calamitously as any I know.
The handwritten sliding scale I prepared for her, I would suggest, is placebo. It is a physical connection to me that resides in a place of honor on her refrigerator [the same spot, perhaps, where she used to proudly display the artwork of a 3rd grade daughter who is now grown up and crazy and a potential cat-killer and her only accessible relative]. I do not carry the delusion that my primitive insulin adjustment protocol is making her diabetes control better; to do that would require that I make her life better. Instead, my written sliding scale in the kitchen lets her know I am out there, somewhere, and I am "with her." And that, I know, was the reason for her anger at my illness. Because of it, I deserted her for a while, just as so many others have done in the past.
Even though I have no fantasies that the sliding scale I designed for her is helping her diabetes management, it does play a therapeutic role, and I think the "handwritten" aspect is important.
We can print sliding scales and other patient instructions from the computer, and it is efficient for us.
A doctoring fact: It takes just a little longer to write it out in our own hand.
A doctoring secret: There is therapeutic "magic" in sitting in front of a patient with a blank piece of paper and writing out instructions in our own writing. The patients see our furrowed forehead as we struggle internally with guessing a dose that might be helpful without being too aggressive. It lets them know we are thinking about them as unique beings. And that we are struggling on their behalf. And we are agonizing, often, for them.
Note the emotion in her statement that Dr. Ober wrote the scale "for ME!"
We all want some recognition of our individuality.
And the sliding scale's significance is not only that I wrote it for her, but I HANDwrote it for her [she, who is in constant doubt that there is a single creature in the world, other than her cat, who really cares about her...but she saw that I paused my busy world long enough to HANDwrite – to personalize – a sliding scale for HER...].
And, in full disclosure, there is fulfillment for me in this, too. As clinicians, we have chances for getting positive feedback daily. For me [thanks for telling me THIS part, Xanthia!], the honorary thing is that my note is on her refrigerator, the place of household distinction where the things of great value [and of great symbolism] tend to get posted. I had forgotten about her sliding scale, it is so ancient, but Polly sees it every day.
Diabetes confession: I have no delusions of improving her hemoglobin A1c. Ever.
Functionally, I am not her endocrinologist; I am her doctor [which is a lot bigger and harder job....].
She is a fighter, and even though many would describe her with pejorative terms, she refuses to be one of life's "losers," and that is one of the things that endears her to me. She has an almost inspirational "kick-butt" approach to the world, and her statement that she was "going to call Mrs. Ober and come over to [my] house to help make [me] better faster" is SO typical of her! [I was obviously a slacker for being sick, Mrs O was obviously negligent by allowing me to be sick, and SHE could have set us both straight if she had the chance.] False bravado is better than no bravado at all...how can you not love the woman?
She can cuss like a sailor too, and she does.
She acts brave when she is frightened.
She is a human.
She is a lovely person.
But she doesn't really want anyone to find THAT part out, lest they take advantage of her.
[She is you and me and everyone else…just in a slightly exaggerated version...she is the one who never had access to resources and opportunities and love and support the rest of us have taken for granted...]
She is why it is such a privilege to be a doctor…
A privilege to be HER doctor…
As physicians, we get to meet all of the well-drawn characters there are in this world.
[And, in so doing – if we stop to pay attention – we get to meet ourselves.]

I know I'm in the minority though.
Certainly (to each his own)
They got more epic with Critical Mass and especially Subsurface (which is also one of my favorites from them). Also, Mac got better with each album although he had a lot of problems with alcohol (or so I've heard and read).
Dead Reckoning is IMHO less epic but still cathy; Slipstream, This Is Your Life, Hollow, One Degree Down are all excellent songs and Mac sounds great.

The Spanish radio market has been known to be competitive and fickle. But who could have thought that a nationally syndicated success would be cancelled so abruptly?
Univision Radio has cancelled its long-running and widely popular morning show, "Piolín por la Mañana," hosted by Eddie Sotelo, the Los Angeles Times is reporting.
Univision has not given a reason for the cancellation but confirmed the program was nixed and no replacement has been named.
Sotelo, who has been called the Spanish-language Howard Stern, has not commented on the cancellation. His Twitter handle has been inactive for two days.
His show drew many big-name celebrities, but it grew in prominent and influence when he landed President Barack Obama in 2010, and later First Lady Michelle Obama. He interviewed Obama three times.
The show was unlike anything heard in English radio, a madhouse format that often surprised the audience with wacky voices and sometimes blaring blow horns.
Sotelo's show reached 3.5 million people every morning. He was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame last June.
A native of the Mexican state of Jalisco, Sotelo arrived in the United States as a teenager without working papers.
He is widely credited with using his program to urge his listeners to turn out for the massive pro-immigration-reform marches that took place in Los Angeles and other cities in the mid-2000s.
According to the Times, Sotelo's show recently began taking a hit in the rating as other Spanish-language radio programs began cutting into his audience. Ricardo "El Mandril" Sanchez's program of regional Mexican music on rival station KLAX-FM last month jumped up to the No. 1 spot in the L.A.-Orange County market, according to Arbitron.
Sotelo has recently branched out into acting, appearing on the now-cancelled TNT drama "Hawthorne," HBO's "East Bound & Down," and Disney's "Beverly Hills Chihuahua."

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- A state lawmaker is proposing Illinois borrow
$4 billion to pay its overdue bills, saying agencies and vendors who do
business with the state are in dire straits and need to be paid.
The bill from Rep. Esther Golar, a Chicago Democrat, would allow
Illinois to borrow the money and use it toward bills more than a month past due
as of September.
But Republican Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka said Tuesday the worst
thing the state could do is take on more debt.
Topinka said her office currently has nearly 170,000 outstanding bills
totaling $7.1 billion. But she said as the economy improves, the state is
making progress paying down the backlog.
Golar asked for more time before the House Executive Committee votes.
The bill is HB6240

NADA Selects New President
Jan 08, 2013, 06:28 EST
MCLEAN, Va., Jan. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Automobile Dealers Association has selected Peter K. Welch as its new president.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120104/DC30041LOGO)
"I'm excited and honored to be selected as the next NADA president," said Welch, 59.
Welch has been president and chief executive officer of the California New Car Dealers Association (CNCDA) in Sacramento since 2003, and has managed its government affairs office, including legal, legislative and regulatory affairs, since 1990. It's the country's largest state organization for new-car dealers.
"NADA is a well-run organization. I look forward to following in the tradition of strong leadership at NADA. I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and get started," Welch said.
The unanimous decision was made at a special meeting of the NADA Board of Directors in Dallas on Tuesday, Jan. 8, following an extensive nationwide search. Welch will become the NADA president officially on February 1.
"Peter will be a great leader at NADA," said Bill Underriner, the NADA Chairman. "He has an impressive track record in California, where every day he faced some of the toughest regulatory and legislative issues in the industry. He's a car guy who comes highly recommended not just from people in California, but also across the nation," added Underriner, a new-car dealer in Billings, Mont.
Dave Westcott, NADA vice chairman, said he is looking forward to working with the new president. "Peter Welch is a great selection," said Westcott, a new-car dealer in Burlington, N.C. "He is the right person to help lead our organization as we confront the challenges ahead."
A native of Detroit, Mich., Welch has been married to Cheryl Welch for 32 years. They have three children.
He earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan; a master's degree from the University of Durham, England; and a law degree from Loyola Marymount University of Law, Los Angeles. Prior to joining the CNCDA, he was a partner with a Los Angeles law firm.
"NADA has a bright future with Peter as president," Underriner said.
In connection with the appointment of Welch as NADA president, Underriner also announced the following promotions, effective immediately:
- Joseph L. Cowden, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and CFO
- Andrew D. Koblenz, Executive Vice President, Legal and Regulatory Affairs and General Counsel
- David W. Regan, Executive Vice President, Legislative Affairs.
The NADA Story
The NADA story began in 1917 when 30 auto dealers traveled to the nation's capital to convince Congress not to impose a luxury tax on the automobile. They successfully argued that the automobile is a necessity of American life, not a luxury. From that experience was born the National Automobile Dealers Association. Today, NADA represents nearly 16,000 new-car and -truck dealers, with 32,500 franchises, both domestic and international. For more information, visit www.nada.org.

Ankh: Heart of Osiris is the third game in the Ankh series of computer games. It was released in Germany on October 30, 2006, and was released in the United Kingdom on May 18, 2007. The game contains three playable characters: Assil, Thara and the Pharaoh.
Having rid himself of the death curse and saved the Ankh from the hands of Osiris, the wicked God of the Underworld, Assil has now woken up in the dingy back streets of Cairo with a blinding hangover only to discover the Ankh is missing! With no time to lose, Assil must recover the Ankh and ensure that it doesn't fall into the hands of Osiris; to do so would be a catastrophe enabling him to launch his own fiendish plan.

Extending Muse
This week we're excited to announce the Fall 2013 release of Adobe Muse CC. This release introduces a large number of new features and enhancements—which you can explore on the newly redesigned muse.adobe.com website.
In this post I'm going to highlight one of the underlying themes of this release that we refer to as extensibility—which allows you to save, share, and download widgets or styled page items from the Muse Exchange site.
With the addition of the new Library panel, you can now save your designs of buttons, widgets, or any page item for future reuse. For example if you've styled certain widgets to match a customer's brand guidelines, you can now save them for quick reuse in future projects.
Another thing you can do with your saved items is share them with the community on the Muse Exchange site. When you export your library item, Muse will create a .mulib [Muse Library] file that you can upload to the community or share with your co workers.
You can also download and import .mulib files created by others into your library by simply double clicking the .mulib file. The community files on Exchange allow you to quickly get started with designs that are already pre-made.
The second part of the extensibility theme is that you can now develop HTML widgets that are not currently available in Muse, and easily share them with others in the community.
As a designer you can install these widgets just like you would install the .mulib files from above (note: that if the widget is distributed as a .mucow file, you'll want to bring it into Muse via the File Menu -> Place command). A great example of this type of widget is the Font Awesome Widget—created by musegrid.com—which allows you to add font icons that scale up cleanly on any screen.
As a developer you can learn how to get started creating these widgets that we call Mucows on this documentation page.
Let us know what you think
We are very excited about the new features in this release and about the extensibility theme. As always, your feedback is key to our growth as a product. Please feel free to provide us with feedback on the forum or in the comments below.

Horoscopes for week of July 15, 2004
Got enough clues to chew on for a while, Aries? If you need more, give yourself the luxury of your Expanded Audio Horoscope for the coming week. The reading costs $6.
I took a long, meandering walk today. After an hour, I found myself in an unfamiliar neighborhood on a wide paved road. In the middle of a long straight stretch there were two street signs next to each other. The one on the right -- the direction from which I had come -- said "Split Drive." The one on the left -- where I was headed -- said "Union Avenue." There was no intersection here and no bend in the road to mark the change -- no apparent distinction at all between Split and Union. Now study all the details I just reported, Taurus. They're symbols for your life in the coming week.
Want to explore the coming week even further, Taurus? Dig deeper? Feel stronger? Consider tuning in to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
Golfer Phil Mickelson has had an odd career. During his first 12 years as a pro, the 34-year-old Gemini won 22 tournaments and earned more than $25 million. But because he had never finished first in any of the four major tournaments, sports writers branded him as a loser. When he finally captured the top spot at the Masters last April, they acted as if he had exorcised some terrible ancient curse. I suspect that many of you Geminis will soon be subject to expectations and pressures as absurd as those once directed at Mickelson. Please resist the urge to buy into them. Don't let anyone manipulate you into trying to live up to their pathological standards of success.
What greater adventure is there than exploring the enigmas of your unique destiny, Gemini? For more hints about the week ahead, listen to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
To pump up their volume above the prevailing human din, some nightingales in big cities have learned to unleash 95-decibel songs, matching the loudness of a chainsaw. I'd love to see you make a similar push, Cancerian, because let's face it: If your output remains at its current level, you'll continue to be half-invisible, never making the impact you should. So raise your intensity, please. Whatever you've been doing to express your uniqueness, do it louder. However you've been contributing your beauty to the world, do it bigger.
How much do you want to know about your destiny in the coming week, Cancerian? How far do you dare to go? For more insight into your shimmering, undulating fate, tune in to your Expanded Audio Horoscope for the coming week. The reading costs $6.
"Dear Dr Brezsny: I need someone to rescue me! My therapist fell asleep during our last session! Even my mother won't return my calls! And the man I love just told me he's not emotionally attached to me and is planning to marry a woman he's known for six weeks! I'm smoking too much and drinking every night and crying myself to sleep. I'm afraid I'll end up as a middle-aged cat lady wearing a housecoat and sponge rollers in my hair, drinking gin straight out of the bottle! I need some bright, wise soul to restore me to health and wholeness and hope! -Lamed Lioness." Dear Lioness: According to my reading of the astrological omens, there's a special person who'll soon be in a perfect position to rescue you. That person is you yourself! The same thing's true about a majority of your fellow Leos: They're on the verge of becoming their own saviors. Any minute now, you'll all know exactly how to convert your breakdowns into breakthroughs.
No one knows you better than you do, Leo. But maybe you'll be inspired to dig up even more self-knowledge in the coming week if you tune in to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
I think what you're about to experience is summed up well by the bumper sticker I saw today: If a pig flies, don't criticize it for not staying up long. In other words, Virgo, the most righteous response to the wonders you've been experiencing is delighted gratitude -- even if the wonders don't quite live up to their initial promise or your early expectations. Ironically, this approach is the only one that will make it possible for the pig to fly again in the future.
Hungry for more inspiration, Virgo? Curious about the unfolding mysteries? For more juicy details about your destiny in the coming week, check out your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
Your life has brought you many maddeningly inconclusive adventures. On occasion, you've probably been tempted to invest what was left of your battered faith in the doctrine proclaimed by Gertrude Stein: "There ain't no answer. There ain't going to be any answer. There never has been an answer. That's the answer." But now the time has come for you to suspend your belief in Stein's theory and others like it. During the next five months, I predict that you will be given more precise, definitive answers than you've ever had before.
Your destiny is a gorgeous mystery, Libra. Your soul is awakening more every day. The secrets of life are ripening right in front of your eyes. For more clues, consider checking out your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
Each day many of your cells expire and are replaced by others. As long as you live, this relentless process of death and rebirth never abates. Periodically, then, you have a completely new set of flesh and bones that retains none of the same atoms you were composed of earlier. Think back, for example, to the physical body you inhabited in July of 1999. There is nothing left of that old thing! In a sense, you have reincarnated without having to endure the inconvenience of dying. Do you realize how free this makes you? In the coming week, Scorpio, take full advantage of this gift. Show how much you appreciate it.
What greater adventure is there than exploring the enigmas of your unique destiny, Scorpio? For more hints about the week ahead, listen to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
The Bible's Book of Revelation is one of the world's most notorious advertisements for doom and gloom. Millions of people actually think the wacky yet terrible visions laid down in that ancient text describe future events. Few of the believers live in Beijing, China, fortunately. When a swarm of locusts like those prophesied in Revelation arrived in the area in 2002, local residents greeted the creatures warmly. They scooped them up in large bags, deep-fried them, and turned them into the main dish of an enormous feast. I urge you to make a similar reversal of a fearful scenario that someone's trying to foist on you, Sagittarius.
Where do you want to go in the coming week, Sagittarius? Who do you want to be? For more clues, tune in to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
Contrary to the orthodox notion that sperm headed towards an egg are in a deadly competition with each other, researchers have discovered they collaborate, often joining together to create a "love train" so as to reach the target faster. Using this as your inspiration, Capricorn, see if there's an area of your own life that you've misjudged as being a hotbed of cutthroat rivalry. The astrological omens suggest that it's a perfect time to awaken and cultivate the cooperative potentials of such a situation.
Life will bring you entertaining revelations in the coming week, Capricorn. To explore even deeper, dive into your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
Tjiliwirri is a special language taught to adolescent boys undergoing initiation rites among the Warlpiri tribe of the Australian Aborigines. A speaker uses it to express the opposite of what he pretends to mean. In order to convey the meaning, "You are tall and wise," for instance, a boy might say the Warlpiri equivalent of "You are short and short-sighted." To express a yearning for greater fulfillment, he may declare, "I have no needs." Regard this vignette as instructive about your immediate future, Aquarius. In the coming weeks, I believe you will undergo a kind of initiation that dares you to rise to a new level of maturity. In the course of this rite of passage, you may have to navigate your way through situations that are the opposite of what they seem.
Want more clues, Aquarius? Need further insight? I discuss your coming week in greater depth in your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
Two years ago, seven-year-old Steven Olson was awarded patent number 6,368,227 for a new method of swinging on a swing. His application said that kids can get bored just moving back and forth on the swing or twisting the swing's chains to make it spin. That's why he invented the technique of swinging side to side. Will he get rich from selling the rights to use his patent? Probably not. Now let's talk about how all of this applies to you. I think you should pull off your own version of Olson's coup in the coming weeks -- but see if you can take it one step further. Dream up an innovation that makes a fun experience even more fun, and meditate on how you might then exploit it to your practical advantage.
Need a few more whacks applied to your mental blocks in the coming week, Pisces? A few more caresses administered to your growing edge? Cruise on over to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.

(KBCW) – Contrary to popular styling opinion, it doesn't actually require a whip, meat dress or exploding bra to make a woman a pop star these days. Just ask twin pop duo Tegan and Sara, who talked to Radio.com recently about their love for H&M, androgyny and all things '90s.
From the Doc Martens, which Sara informs us they've added back into their wardrobe, to their love for Kanye West's drop crotch leather pants that they correctly identify as Hammer pants, the ladies are embracing fashion's nostalgia for the decade.
Not so surprisingly, the duo weighed in on their love for androgynous fashion. And when we asked which designers they're loving, Sara quickly named a fashion house who had Justin Bieber, Rihanna and Miguel all sitting in the front row during the most recent New York Fashion Week.
"I love Band of Outsiders. I didn't even have to see the clothes, I just love the idea of the name," Sara said. She later continued, "I love that they have their line called Boy for girls. Everything really appeals to the hipper, more androgynous mindset."

Augustana Announces $2.5 Million Gift for Scholarships
Augustana today announced the largest-ever gift for endowed scholarships in the College's 152-year history.
An estate gift of $2.5 million from alumnus Dick Niebuhr, class of 1966, a native of Huron, S.D., and longtime resident of Aberdeen, S.D., will be used to support scholarships for Augustana's top incoming students beginning in the 2014-15 academic year.
Niebuhr, a former member of the Augustana Board of Trustees, died in 2009 at the age of 64.
"On behalf of the Augustana community, I extend our deepest thanks and most sincere gratitude to our dear friend, spirited alumnus and tenacious advocate Dick Niebuhr," said Rob Oliver, president. "His transformational gift is one that will continue to give for all time. The Niebuhr Scholarships will no doubt change the lives of some of the world's most talented, creative and innovative young people by enabling them to achieve their full potential as students in preparation for lives as global citizens. The word 'thankful' simply doesn't do justice to how we're feeling today. We are humbled beyond measure."
The estate gift is Niebuhr's second major gift to Augustana. In 1998, he donated $100,000 to endow the Vernon and Mildred Niebuhr Faculty Excellence Award, an annual award to recognize excellence in teaching. It is named in honor of his parents because, Niebuhr said, "they loved Augustana College dearly and because they were my first and best teachers."
Humble Beginnings
Former Augustana President Dr. Bruce Halverson '66, first met Niebuhr before his senior year in high school at Boys State, an annual civics/government experience for high school students held at the State Capitol in Pierre, S.D.
The two became friends during the event and Halverson said he was happy to see Niebuhr among his fellow freshmen the following fall at Augustana.
"I was surprised and delighted when we started at Augustana together in the fall of 1962. He was incredibly smart. I knew he came from a humble family who obviously made sacrifices in order to send their kids to Augustana," he said.
A history and philosophy major at Augustana, after graduation Niebuhr earned a scholarship to Rice University and went on to earn a master's degree in European history in 1968. While at Augustana, he served on the Commons Advisory Board and was named to "Who's Who among Students in American Universities and Colleges."
"Dick was really active in college life – he helped make things happen on campus. That same kind of attitude kept him going and enabled him to make things happen later in life as well. I'm not surprised he left Augustana a significant gift because he was a guy that was committed every day to the well-being of the College. He lived a large life, but underneath that was a true commitment to his church, to Augustana and to the state of South Dakota. He wanted to do everything he could to make sure students could get an education," Halverson said.
Returning to South Dakota
After serving as assistant professor of history at Southern Arkansas University from 1969-1973, Niebuhr returned to South Dakota and managed John G. Kinnard & Company in Aberdeen from 1973-1977. He spent the remainder of his career working as co-manager of AG Edwards Investments.
His business partner, Craig Golz, worked with Niebuhr for more than 30 years and offered him counsel as he organized his estate plans.
"Dick was always a strong believer in a liberal arts education and always believed in the instruments of the church. Those things all came together at Augustana," Golz said. "Augustana was a building block for him and a cornerstone for his life. He gave Augustana a lot of credit for allowing him to accomplish what he did in his life financially. He viewed his experience at Augustana as life-changing."
Golz said Niebuhr was a firm believer in "educating the brightest kids to the highest level possible." To that end, he shared the value of an Augustana education with high school students any chance he could.
Niebuhr was the main reason Nathan Golz '03, Craig's son, decided to visit campus and ultimately enroll, as well as his brothers, Nick '02, and Jason '04.
"To me, he was Uncle Dick. He was like a second dad to me. He was at our house for dinner two nights a week for my entire life. From my perspective, he is the reason why I and both of my brothers are Augie grads," Nathan Golz said. "He loved the school. He constantly talked about how wonderful the campus was and how wonderful the education was. He started putting the bug in my ear when I was six years old. He'd traveled all over the world, but Augie was still first in his heart."
"He was always proud of the fact that so many incredibly bright, talented people ended up at Augustana. He wanted to make a gift that ensured that Augustana would be able to continue to acknowledge the best and the brightest."
A Respect for the Intellect
Niebuhr was a member of the Augustana Fellows, served on the Alumni Council, and was a member of the Board of Trustees from 1978-1990.
Former Augustana president Dr. Ralph Wagoner knew Niebuhr well.
"He was as well-read and well-traveled as anyone I know," Wagoner remembers. "He had a great respect for smart people and a great respect for the intellectual efforts the faculty put forward."
"He was a man who loved his alma mater but the thing that always stood out for me was his respect for good teaching. It simply goes without saying ... he just loved Augustana."
Former men's basketball coach and longtime Development Officer Mel Klein agreed.
"In all my visits with him, he never wavered as far as his interests, his loyalty and his support. He was always interested in the College and what was going on here," Klein said. "And, he always had ideas on ways the College could be strengthened. He was always asking how he could help."

The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) has eavesdropped communications between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. lawmakers and American-Jewish groups, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
The United States captured phone conversations of top Israeli officials, including Netanyahu's private conversations, as it believed the intercepted information could be valuable to counter Netanyahu's campaign against the U.S. nuclear deal with Iran, according to the report.
The United States has been pursuing a nuclear arms agreement with Iran at the time without telling its regional friend, while Netanyahu prepared for possible strikes against an Iranian nuclear facility in 2011 and 2012, the report said.
By 2013, though the U.S. intelligence agencies determined Netanyahu was not going to strike Iran, it had another reason to keep watch, for the White House wanted to know if Israel had learned of the secret negotiations with Iran.
After Israel's lobbying campaign against the deal went into full swing on Capitol Hill, it did no take long for administration and intelligence officials to realize the NSA was sweeping up their conversation content.
It is characteristic that the US-Israel relations are not in the best shape, and this is not only due to the Israeli policy concerning Gaza, but also because the US are trying to approach Iran, and one reason is probably because they think that the Iranian army, which did not get involved in deleterious wars for many years, is suitable to contribute to the fight against the IS fighters.
... the US need Russia and even Iran to clean up the mess in Middle East. A mess which was created by the US and their allies in Middle East when they started to arm anti-Assad forces to confront the Assad regime. Now, ISIS is out of control. However, the Americans had enough troubles with the attrition wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. They wouldn't risk further mess by bringing 'boots on the ground' to confront ISIS. The recent deal with Iran, concerning its nuclear program, is not accidental.

Kisses for Kenady benefit poker run
An area family is turning from sorrow to saving lives as they reach out to others to donate to help a sick child. Stephanie McCaslin and Cassie Wagley recently lost their daughter, Kenady Charlotte Catherine Wagley, 15-months, to illness. Kenady's mothers were able to see beyond the tragedy of a life lost so early and realize that Kenady was not only a gift to them but also to other ill children in need. Kenady and her twin brother, Kastyn, were born more than 3 months premature. According to their mothers, both were fighters from day one and after more than five months in Arkansas Children's Hospital, Kenady and Kastyn were on their way home to Shady Point in July 2012. Kenady, who suffered from trouble breathing, was released after she received a tracheotomy.Nine months later, on April 3, Kenady suddenly quit breathing and was rushed to the hospital. Two days later, Kenady's family was told she wouldn't recover so Kenady was taken off of life support and her organs donated.In honor of Kenady's gift, her mothers are organizing the "Kisses from Kenady Poker Run" which will be held Saturday. Staging for the poker run will begin at Old Fort Harley Davidson of Fort Smith with the first bike out at 9 a.m., last by 10 a.m. The run will take participants to their first stop in Shady Point then on to Wister and Monroe then returning to Fort Smith for live entertainment and an auction at the Long Horn Saloon. The ride is $20 per rider, $10 per passenger or per extra poker hand.

In Focus: George Hasiotis on waterfront stadium
Supporters of a plan to build a $1.4 billion stadium and museum complex on Buffalo's outer harbor insist the concept is feasible. They claim it would be a year-round economic engine for the region.
But skeptics have scoffed at the retractable-roof stadium plan.
George Hasiotis is vice president of Greater Buffalo Sports & Entertainment Complex, the entity that is proposing to build the stadium and multipurpose complex. He sat down with The Buffalo News' Brian Meyer to discuss the project. While Hasiotis suggested it's premature to discuss financing specifics, developers would eventually seek about $400 million in public funding.
Here is a summary of some issues in the interview that is part of the weekly "In Focus" series.
Meyer: Skeptics basically call this a pie-in-the-sky development ... do they have the right to be skeptical, given the magnitude of the project and all of these unanswered questions?
Hasiotis: No, they don't have a right to be skeptical, because it's a very comprehensive proposal. It also is serious in the sense that there are benchmarks. You can't turn down a reasonable or professional proposal that comes from really the most renowned international design and planning firm in the country, if not in the world. HKS of Dallas is our design and planning partner, and they work intimately with the NFL on new stadium development ... They've done Indianapolis, which is our model ... [The naysayers] are a few people in positions of authority who feel threatened or may have other ideas. However, they don't have the right – they don't have the legal right and they certainly don't have the authority – to stop something when all we're asking for is an opportunity for due diligence for a land option – not ownership of the land, but to pay for a land option ...
Meyer: You talked about due diligence. Some people are wondering why the process wasn't done in the opposite way ... at least talking [in advance] with the Bills...
Hasiotis: It's a fallacy to think, and it's wrong-headed to think, that the Bills have [anything] to do with this ... If you want to buy a piece of property, you'll get preclearance for financing, but you will not be able to proceed with financing or due diligence. You do the study, you do the site survey, you do all of that. But you need to go to the financing institution or to the license holder – in this case the NFL – with the property.
Meyer: On the financing end, you're talking about a third in public financing?
Hasiotis: There's no out-of-pocket public cost to this until we've gone way down the road – many years down the road. And what public cost there would be would come primarily from existing budgets for transportation, for brownfield cleanup, from existing state and federal budgets. So we're not talking about the opposite model of subsidizing millionaires and billionaires as we do now with the Buffalo Bills or even the Sabres ... What the NFL needs from this community, and what the NFL has told our professional partners is Buffalo better show that they want this franchise, because this nonsense about renovating a stadium that's shot is going nowhere.
Meyer: But has the NFL been supportive in your talks [about] this project?
Hasiotis: Absolutely.
Meyer: We've really not heard that.
Hasiotis: You won't hear that, because these are all one-on-one conversations between professionals that work in this business day to day.
The NFL wants a commitment from this community that this community wants a new facility. Because otherwise, this franchise is leaving. And you don't have two or three or four years to study that with a blue-ribbon commission.
That's the wrong way to go, and that's a recipe for disaster.


text: LaTonya says Regis has positioned her for a career in counseling and to make an impact Name: LaTonya Dulaney-Harris Graduation Year: December 2013 Degree earned: Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and a certificate in transformative counseling Hometown: Denver, Colo. What drew you to Regis? I believe in the mission statement of Regis. I wholeheartedly feel that the Jesuit belief of helping those in need is the only way to live and work. It was important to me to find a university that lives and supports the mission of helping others. I feel blessed to be at such a university. How do you plan to use your Regis education to make an impact? I want to work with grief and how it impacts families. I have a strong desire to work with parents who have lost their children due to death or parental terminations by the judicial system. I feel that the latter do not receive adequate counseling to work through such a difficult type of loss. What have you enjoyed most about studying counseling? I've enjoyed learning how to work with grief. It's a part of life that all will have to endure and being able to help people work through those private and sacred challenges is a privilege. Some of the learning lessons were tough and forced me to look inside of myself; but nonetheless, I feel as though the challenges prepared me for working in an effective way. Who is your favorite professor/instructor and why? All of my professors at Regis have contributed to my growth. Dr. Johanna Gallers was my first professor while working on my undergraduate psychology major. Although she is now deceased, her words and wisdom continue to guide me. She was fearless in her approach to understanding the mind. She had an interest in criminal behavior and was able to describe and teach about abnormal behavior and thoughts in a way that no textbook could. Dr. Jennifer Cates and Dr. Annamarie Fidel-Rice — both associate professors of counseling — have given me the courage to trust myself and my instincts.

This year's HP workstation product launch event was the biggest I've ever attended, and the most exciting in terms of the revolutionary new product offerings presented and the people I met and interviewed.
We gathered early on Wednesday morning in a large hall in the NYC Sheraton Hotel, right in the midst of bustling Times Square, and to get the ball rolling were treated to speeches by some heavy hitting HP workstation users.
The Appetizer
First at bat was Mark Russell, and he hit it out of the park. Mark is an independent Vfx creator and supervisor who headed up the special effect team during filming and now working post production on the upcoming Martin Scorsese film 'The Wolf of Wall Street' that's destined to become a blockbuster when it hits the theaters later this year.
We were treated to some video outtakes from this production that showcased the VFx work that Mark produced for this film that was primarily shot and produced on Long Island and in Manhattan, just a quick subway ride to Brooklyn where Mark lives.
When you watch the film you won't know where reality ends and CG takes over, it's done that well. One series of fly-over shots were taken of a mansion in the Hamptons with multiple takes from a 4-bladed radio controlled miniature helicopter equipped with a super high-definition camera that transmitted the video wirelessly to an HP workstation on the ground for processing and viewing in real time. The mini-copter stays in the air for less than a minute before running out of juice and the ground crew had to plop in new batteries fast to get this small bird back in the air before the 'magic' light evaporated. The perfect lighting conditions occur close to sunset and the perfect light window lasts only around thirty minutes, so the film crew had to be super organized to shot this series in the allotted time, and keeping everyone and everything organized was a major part of Mark's job. Oh, and they did make a rendered CG Model of the mansion that you can't tell from the real thing for shots that the mini-copter just couldn't cope with.

At once wildly original and stuffed with irresistible nostalgia,
Ready Player One is a spectacularly genre-busting, ambitious, and charming debut—part quest novel, part love story, and part virtual space opera set in a universe where spell-slinging mages battle giant Japanese robots, entire planets are inspired by
Blade Runner, and flying DeLoreans achieve light speed.
"I'm sorry I waited so long to read this book."
When Charles "Shake" Bouchon, professional wheel man, walks out of prison after a three-year stretch for grand theft auto, he's got only two problems: he's too nice a guy for the life he's led and not nice enough for any other. So he says yes when he's asked to run a simple errand for his former boss and lover, Alexandra Ilandryan, the formidable pakhan of the Armenian mob in Los Angeles.
"A whole lotta fun."
Devastated by the discovery that his wife, Helen, was murdered, Special Agent Pendergast must have retribution. But revenge is not simple. As he stalks his wife's betrayers-a chase that takes him from the wild moors of Scotland to the bustling streets of New York City and the darkest bayous of Louisiana - he is also forced to dig further into Helen's past. And he is stunned to learn that Helen may have been a collaborator in her own murder.
"Powerful Buildup -- Best Pendergast Series Yet!"
On the 78th floor of the World Trade Center's north tower, no alarms sounded, and no one knew what had just happened at 8:46 a.m. that morning, September 11, 2001. Blind since birth, Michael couldn't see a thing, but he could hear the sounds of shattering glass, falling debris, and terrified people flooding around him and his guide dog, Roselle. However, Roselle sat calmly beside him. In that moment, Michael chose to trust Roselle's judgment and not to panic. They were a team....

"More memoir than theology"
A hired gunslinger, William Jessup Brady lived his life with one foot in the grave. He believed that every life had a price. Until the day when he finally found a reason to live. In one single act of brutal betrayal, he lost everything, including his life. Brought back by a Greek goddess to be one of her Dark-Hunters, he gave his immortal soul for vengeance and swore he'd spend eternity protecting the humans he'd once considered prey.
"Love Holter Graham......BUT........"
Dr. Ellie Sullivan has just completed her residency at a large urban hospital. While jogging in a park nearby, she witnesses the shooting of an FBI agent in pursuit of wanted criminals, a couple identified as the Landrys. The only person to see the shooter's face, Ellie is suddenly at the center of a criminal investigation. Agent Max Daniels takes over the Landry case. A no-nonsense lawman, he's definitely not the ideal man that Ellie has always imagined, yet she's attracted to him in a way she can't explain. Max vows to be Ellie's shadow until the trial, and it isn't long before sparks fly....
"Not up to her usual level"

Committee Opinion Number 234, May 2000
(Replaces No. 219, August 1999, Reaffirmed 2017)
Prevention of transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from mother to fetus or newborn (vertical transmission) is a major goal in the care of pregnant women infected with HIV. An important advance in this regard was the demonstration that treatment of the mother with zidovudine (ZDV) during pregnancy and labor and of the neonate for the first 6 weeks after birth could reduce the transmission rate from 25% to 8% (1). Continuing research into vertical transmission of HIV suggests that a substantial number of cases occur as the result of fetal exposure to the virus during labor a...

What's good for the goose is good for the gander? This proverb does not apply if the gander is the Federal Reserve and the geese are all the other banks in the country.
Michael Gibson, the Fed's director of the Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation, recently testified to Congress on imposing the Basel III capital rules on all U.S. banks. The Fed supports these rules.
Specifically, Mr. Gibson pointed out that Basel III requires unrealized losses on some securities to reduce the banks' regulatory capital as such losses already reduce their book net worth. In ironic contrast, the Fed itself, which owns $900 billion of mortgage-backed securities and $1.7 trillion of Treasury notes and bonds, never recognizes any unrealized losses in its capital accounts. The Fed sets its own accounting rules for itself, unlike anybody else.
But the Fed's accounting rules go far beyond this. Since 2011, upon realizing it might one day be facing losses on its now massive investment portfolio, the Fed has provided itself a handy rule by which even realized net losses would not affect the capital on their financial statements. Any such losses would be booked in a deferred asset account, instead of properly reducing retained earnings and net worth.
The Fed has a combined net worth of $55 billion, according to a recent report. Anywhere in the world, if you had $55 billion in capital, and then (for example) lost $55 billion, your capital would be zero. But under the Fed's own special accounting rule, if it lost $55 billion, its capital would still be $55 billion. If it lost $75 billion, its capital would still be $55 billion. If it lost $100 billion, its capital would still be $55 billion. It wouldn't, in reality, of course, but it would on the Fed's accounting books.
Mr. Gibson, what would you say if any one of your regulated banks tried that one?
In its defense, the Fed asserts that as the U.S. central bank, it is unique and therefore should have unique accounting. Well, it certainly is unique among banks in getting to write its own accounting rules for itself. But in the logic of whether losses reduce your capital, the Fed is exactly the same as everybody else in the world: they do.
Mr. Gibson, as a top banking supervisor, what do you think of this remarkable accounting rule that the Fed has set for itself? Pretty indefensible, wouldn't you say?
