CME Group Inc.'s lawsuit over U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission swap-data rules will undermine efforts to boost transparency following the 2008 credit crisis, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp. said.
The suit, filed in federal court on Nov. 8, "threatens to dismantle and disrupt the entire regulatory regime statutorily mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act in order to preserve CME's exclusive access to data that it acquires through its role as a derivatives clearing organization," DTCC General Counsel Larry E. Thompson said in a letter to the CFTC yesterday.
CME, the Chicago-based exchange operator that runs a swaps clearinghouse, is seeking an injunction against CFTC rules for reporting private trade information, claiming that submissions to so-called swap-data repositories would be redundant. DTCC, based in New York, is one of the firms given CFTC approval to run data repositories for interest rate and credit-default swaps, among other types of trades.
Dodd-Frank, the 2010 financial-regulation overhaul, directed the CFTC and Securities and Exchange Commission to write rules for swap-data repositories to give regulators a better view on prices and volume in a $648 trillion market dominated by banks including Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Deutsche Bank AG.
Provisional Registration
The CFTC has granted provisional registration to DTCC Data Repository LLC and ICE Trade Vault LLC, a repository operated by Atlanta-based Intercontinental Exchange Inc. for information on energy, interest rate, credit and other swaps.
"One of the essential parts of financial reform is promoting transparency; transparency both to the public and to regulators," CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler said in a Sept. 20 interview after the agency announced DTCC's registration.
Steve Adamske, the CFTC's spokesman, didn't respond to telephone and e-mail requests for comment while U.S. government offices are closed for observance of Veterans Day.
CME said in the lawsuit that it is awaiting a response from CFTC on its June 7 application to become a data repository. The company said in its suit that it must comply with the cleared swap reporting rules tomorrow.
"CME believes the cleared swap regulatory rules will impose costly, cumbersome, and duplicative requirements" on derivativesclearinghouses, Laurie Bischel, spokeswoman for CME, said in an e-mail today.
The lawsuit and DTCC response highlight the revenue potential from collecting market data, said Darrell Duffie, a professor at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business. "Even if the fees are quite modest, at some point in the future it could be quite valuable to be the owner of these data," Duffie said in a telephone interview.
Frequent Questions
After the data-repository rulemaking, the CFTC's staff on Oct. 11 published a document on frequently asked questions about reporting. CME said the document contradicted the rules by saying buyers and sellers of a swap would be allowed to decide which database would get trade information.
"To the extent the FAQ requires CME to report nonpublic regulatory data on cleared swaps to SDRs chosen by the original swap counterparties, CME will suffer harm," Mark D. Young, a Washington-based partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP representing CME, said in the lawsuit.
The financial industry has spent a year planning for the new data repositories and invested hundreds of millions of dollars to comply with rules, according to DTCC.
The DTCC data repository "has significant concerns with the potential negative consequences of a judicial challenge or commission action to remove the necessity for a legal dispute," Thompson said in the letter. "DTCC is currently considering its possible responses to the suit and resulting Commission activity, including possible judicial recourse."
Undermining Dodd-Frank
Fragmented information about the market across multiple data repositories risks undermining Dodd-Frank's goals by threatening regulators' ability to view consolidated positions and patterns of manipulative or abusive trading, according to DTCC.
"It is critical that swap data is reported to and maintained by one SDR throughout the life of the contract," Thompson said.
DTCC doesn't object to CME or any other clearinghouse "keeping a copy of the cleared trade as long as they send a copy of the cleared trade to the SDR in accordance to their customer's choice," Thompson said in an e-mail statement today. "Copies of data are not an issue, however, customer direction regarding where trades should be sent for official record- keeping in the SDR is key."
The case is Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. v. U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, 12-cv-01820, U.S. District Court, District of Columbia (Washington).

Wood is a cantankerous substance; there's no two ways about it. Its virtues, of course, are legendary. It's attractive, abundant and easy to work. Pound for pound, it's stronger than steel. If properly finished and cared for it will last indefinitely. But none of that makes up for the fact that it's a complex and often perplexing building material.
Unlike metals and plastics, whose properties are fairly consistent, wood is wholly inconsistent. It expands and contracts in all directions, but not at the same rate. It's stronger in one direction than it is in another. Its appearance changes not only from species to species, but from log to log — sometimes board to board.
That being so, how can you possibly use this stuff to make a fine piece of furniture? Or a fine birdhouse, for that matter? To work wood — and have it work for you — you must understand three of its unique properties:
• Wood has grain.
• Wood moves more across the grain than along it.
• Wood has more strength along the grain than across it.
Sounds trite, I know. These are "everyone-knows-that" garden-variety facts. But there is more grist here for your woodworking mill than might first appear.
Wood Has Grain
As a tree grows, most of the wood cells align themselves with the axis of the trunk, limb or root. These cells are composed of long thin bundles of fibers, about 100 times longer than they are wide. This is what gives wood its grain direction. Additionally, a tree grows in concentric layers, producing annual rings. You must pay close attention to these two characteristics — grain direction and annual rings — the way a sailor watches the wind. Ignore them, and they'll bite you big time.
Sawyers commonly use two methods to cut trees into boards, each revealing a different type of grain.
• Plain-sawn boards are cut tangent to the annual rings. The sawyer "cuts around" the log, turning it for each series of cuts so the faces of the boards will show mostly flat grain (also called tangential or plain grain).
• Quartersawn boards are cut through the radius of the growth rings. The sawyer cuts the logs into quarters or bolts, and then saws each bolt so the boards show quarter grain (or radial grain) on their faces.
Lumber doesn't always show a single type of grain on its face. Plain-sawn boards in particular may show mixed grain — flat grain in one area and quarter grain in another. The grain between the two, where the surface is cut at a 30- to 60-degree angle to the annual rings, displays rift grain.
Each type of grain has a distinct pattern, depending on the wood species. You can use these grain patterns to enhance the design of your furniture or your birdhouses. More importantly, if you know how to "read" the patterns, you can predict which way the wood will move and how much. Because of its unique structure, wood is constantly expanding and contracting. And you must cope with this movement in everything you build.
Wood Moves Across the Grain
Because of its unique structure, wood is constantly expanding and contracting. And you must cope with this movement in everything you build.
Wood moves as its moisture content changes. After the tree is felled and the sap has evaporated, the wood fibers continue to absorb and release water like a blotter. How much water they hold depends on the relative humidity of the surrounding environment. The more humid it is, the more moisture the fibers soak up. This moisture content is the ratio of water to wood. In extremely humid conditions, as much as 28 percent of the total weight of a board may be water — 28 parts water, 72 parts wood. The rule of thumb is that the moisture content of wood changes 1 percent for every 4 to 5 percent change in the relative humidity.

Are Your Customers receiving a "Luke Warm" buying experience? …if so it's costing you more than you know…
The climate for business is difficult with consumer confidence low, the access to cash tight and record unemployment. However some organizations are thriving while others know something is wrong, and they are just blaming the economy. The economy is a factor; however it may be the main "why" behind your organizations' struggles to make numbers if your clients are receiving a "Luke Warm" buying experience. Luke warm employees create a "just enough to get by "buying experience and that simply is not cutting it in this highly competitive environment. I discussed how the buying process has changed over the last year in my post: Are you Enabling your Sales Force or Emasculating them? With these added pressures, the last thing you want is for your clients to have a poor buying experience and seek out your competitors.
I just finished a book by Francis Chan titled; Crazy Love. It's a book about growing your spiritual life.. In chapter four he discusses "the profile of Luke warm" and I thought how the wisdom he shares with regards to our faith life also applies in the business world. Chan describes how a Luke warm faith life is worst than being hot or cold and I feel this is also true for businesses and their employees. Specifically this is most evident in the buying experience.
What is it like to buy from your company? Are your salespeople trained and knowledgeable? Do they know how to find buyer problems and set out as if on a quest to solve them?
Or are you like most organizations who have built inside out service models and you hear executives challenged by "how our clients just are not smart enough to see the value in what we provide." Or maybe you have downsized your sales and customer service teams and you are wondering why your business is declining and your customer satisfaction is at an all time low?
Luke warm team members produce Luke warm service levels.
The Bible discusses how being Luke warm is worst than being hot or cold and this rule also applies to your team members. I would much prefer a team member who tells me: "I just don't get our plan and I am having a hard time getting motivated to execute my indicators" than someone who says they are on board and is just going through the motions to just get by.
As I discussed in my post: Third Part of truth …Motivation; Are You willing to go the extra mile like Chick-fil-A? As a consumer we instantly recognize good service and an organization that has clearly set an expectation for how customers should feel in the buying process.
I need to ask…How you want your customers to feel in the process of buying your goods and or services.
Once you intentionally create this vision, you will need to identify team members who will need to be trained, and in some cases replaced.
14 warning signs a team member may be Luke warm and negatively impacting their service to internal and external customers
1.) They do what they believe is expected of them and only what they believe is expected of them
2.) They choose to follow Hippos, they do what is politically correct but may not be right
3.) They are striving to survive not win
4.) They rarely share their knowledge and experience as they use knowledge as power and not a gift
5.) They focus on comparing their results to that of other team members versus their key performance indicators
6.) Their actions serve themselves more than others ( customers both internal and external)
7.) Their service is conditional, selective, and often comes with strings attached
8.) They are focused on today and what's in it for them today, they lack a future vision
9.) They spend more time with their bosses than their subordinates and customers
10) They do the bare minimum , and their goal is to be "good enough"
11) They play it safe, they know the rules better than anyone in the organization and often site them
12) They are visually busy, but not necessarily adding value
13) When things go wrong they quickly blame others
14) They seek the safety of their silo's, and lack a "one company-one team" mentality
A half hearted commitment to the organization's plan; mission and vision can be felt by customers. A Luke warm commitment to service disrupts your team from within and in the market if left unchecked.
If you read the above and could apply at least four of them to specific team members; employees, managers, supervisors, you now have to ask yourself a tough question;
Will I be a Luke warm leader and look the other way? Or will I take the market leader position and address poor service resulting in a bad buying experience?
What about your organization?
When you read the above did specific employees come to mind?
How about you, did you personally identify with any of the above?
How have you helped Luke warm employees become energized value adding producers again?
Have you experienced a loss due to not addressing a Luke warm employee and you would like to share?
What should you do if your boss is Luke warm?
Thank you to Francis Chan for his book; Crazy Love, as it challenged me on many levels.

Fruity and acidic, this bar is too much for me. Too fruity, too light and too sweet. All this 75% stuff is starting to make me feel sick...sugar overload!
Posted Mon 22 Jul 2013 1.08pm by Paul
Now this is my favourite chocolate bar by Pralus. I find it not at all light and at just the right sweetness for me personally. I don't like really really bitter dark chocolate (above 80%) and love to taste the fruity notes and tartness often found in really top end dark chocolate bars. I always buy Pralus chocolate for its depth of flavour and highly recommend this particular one to anyone wanting a really fruity tasting dark chocolate with real depth of flavour. Its too bitter for my wife so thats another bonus - just goes to show you how everyones palates detect different levels of bitter and sweet.

This bar was amongst the chocolate selection that came as part of the Dark Chocolate bar bundle I ordered online. It's the first bar I tried and to be honest I can't see any of the other bars bettering the depth of flavour and delicate balance between sweetness and bitterness of this Madagascan cocoa bar. I'm now eager to try the other chocolate bars, but trying to ration myself and take the time to really enjoy and savour each bar.
Posted Mon 24 Jul 2017 2.48pm by Mike
Great depth of flavour and perhaps a little sweeter than other chocolate bars of a similar cocoa percentage, but thoroughly delicious none the less.

Ashley Cummings had a little mishap while engrossed in "Fifty Shades of Grey" on her way to the San Francisco subway. Head down, clutching her iPad, she ran smack into a fellow pedestrian. When the downloaded culprit became clear, her victim went from grumpy to new friend.
It's not the only time the 24-year-old publicist's e-edition was something less than private. Across the country in Connecticut, her 13-year-old brother wondered why she was reading "those sex books" when they also showed up on his iPad, since the two share an account.
"I laughed it off," Cummings said, "and proceeded to lock him out!"
Much has been made of the erotic trilogy's success thanks to discreet e-books, but whether downloaded or between paper covers, it has made for many a twisted life scenario since a mainstream publisher acquired rights and shot it out into the world nearly two months ago.
Margie Goolan's reading group with five, 40-something girlfriends in Novato, Calif., just finished "Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman" by Robert K. Massie. Before that it was "Tinkers," a Pulitzer-winning journey into the painful past of a dying clock repairer, by Paul Harding.
Highbrow be damned for their next meeting. They succumbed to Grey, though Goolan was pulling for Brian Doyle's "Mink River," the lyrical story of quirky, fictional townsfolk along the Oregon coast.
"I had a laugh when I bought `Fifty Shades' at the small local bookstore," said Goolan, in San Francisco's north bay area. "I'm in there often. When I told him that it's my book club's selection so I get the store's book club discount, he just smiled and said `so it's gotten that far already.'"
So much further, Mr. Bookseller.
Some Grey-lings proudly brandish their copies in public, posting and tweeting photos of themselves with their prizes for fun or as some sort of kinky badge of honor. Others won't leave the house with their books, while an unknown number are going the e-route.
Random House and its Vintage Books paperback imprint have sold more than 10 million copies of the rough-sex love story across all formats, including audiobooks. The publisher won't break down the sales by e-book versus paperback, but you know who you are (no judgment, just sayin').
Meagan Feeser, 30, in York, Pa., is a Kindle kind of Grey girl.
"It's embarrassing enough without everyone around you knowing that you're essentially reading pornography in their presence, not to mention the fact that I'm 37 weeks pregnant, so I would look like a walking stereotype," she said.
A walking "Fifty Shades Freed" stereotype. The last of the three books has once-innocent Ana enjoying a round or two of pregnant sex, Christian Grey style.
Feeser's all-female reading group took on the books in May. Two among them "loved it." Two, Feeser included, "are having a hard time finishing the first one." And two "never read any of the books and just come for the wine."
Turns out Feeser lives in a hotbed for "Fifty Shades," according to the book site Goodreads, one of the first places where the phenom surfaced.
The site looked at readership among 8.6 million members around the country to see which areas are the most Grey, weighting the data to account for population and membership fluctuations.
The highest concentration of "Fifty Shades" readers was in the East's tri-state and New England regions, though the books by London mom E L James were liked more in southern and plains states than anywhere else in the country, Goodreads said.
Dan Malkin, 24, of New York City found himself in a strange Grey moment when he whipped out his copy on a bus to Boston, earning him funny looks from his female seatmate. A stolen glance at her Kindle revealed that she, too, was reading "Fifty Shades."
"The real question in my mind," he puzzled, "was did she know that I knew?"
Lisa Holden, 26, in San Francisco was on a train when she pulled a fast one on a lovely, elderly gentleman after he struck up a conversation about reading devices, like the Kindle she was cradling as she read "Fifty Shades."
When their chat rolled around to what she was reading, "In a quick panic I lied and said `Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.' I wouldn't read this book without using my Kindle. It keeps me from having to talk to a stranger about spanking."
To heck with that, declares Patty Vonder Heide, 56, in suburban Chicago. She usually likes to read on her iPhone but chucked it in favor of hard copy for "Fifty Shades" when she found herself distracted by the constant page turns.
"I'll purchase the next book in print and will take it to the pool or beach this summer for sure," said the speech pathologist and mom of two grown children.
In Orlando, Fla., 25-year-old Laura Keesee has never been more thankful for her iPad as she read all three books nonstop. She's looking forward to re-reading without questions about why she's lugging around THOSE books again.
"Going into the bookstore and standing in line with the hard copies of the book, I would feel a little bashful," she said. "It's like standing in the grocery line buying condoms or tampons. Everyone knows what's going on."
Keesee's boyfriend teased her so much about her Grey obsession that she took to quickly flipping to a different app when he, or anybody else, got too close.
"I'm not usually a shy or bashful person. I told everyone I was reading the books. I got a few colleagues to start reading and we had full discussions in the office," she said. "But there's something about being in the moment and reading `Fifty Shades' that you just want it to be your little indulgence."

More info on Tressel regarding the FBI
Cincinnati radio station 700wlw Bill Cunningham spoke on the air today about sources he has inside OSU and stated that since the FBI was involved with this investigation he (Tressel) was told, not asked that he wasn't able to leak anything out whatsoever on this investigation. Apparently it's supposed to come out in the next few days.
Just to let you know this radio host is typically more political than sports on his show. He's also a lawyer and his wife is a local judge. So he's not a complete idiot. He also rips on OSU every chance he gets which makes me think this could be defnitely be true if he's actually talking about this. I know you all will most likely scream "bogus" on this whole thing but I just thought I would pass it along.

Growing Green Buildings
Visionary architect William McDonough is making the boomtown environmentally friendly - from Google's headquarters to China's cities.
(Business 2.0 Magazine) -- Last spring, green-design guru William McDonough got a mysterious call from Steven Spielberg. Though Spielberg didn't explain why, he invited McDonough to visit him in Los Angeles. McDonough went - and learned that the Hollywood icon wanted to produce a documentary about McDonough's work.
"He'd just seen Al Gore's movie and felt it would be great to make a film about what people are doing about [global warming]," McDonough tells me. "The ending of Gore's film is tragic, because after showing the scale of the catastrophe, he says, 'There's some hope here,' but the hope is what? Buy hybrid? Change your lightbulbs? It's not enough!"
Certainly it's not enough for McDonough - the former dean of the University of Virginia School of Architecture and head of two pathbreaking design firms in Charlottesville, Va. - whose eco-friendly schemes are sweeping, radical, and "head-twisting," as McDonough puts it. Recyclable cars. Server farms powered by wind. Entire cities with factory roofs covered with vegetation.
Paid to dream the improbable
Yet, far-out as all this sounds, McDonough's ideas are gaining currency in unexpected places, from corporate boardrooms to the Chinese government. And while some of his dreams are unlikely to become reality, they point the way to a future where business and the environment are friends, not foes; where innovation and conservation are entwined; where maximizing profit and saving the planet are synonymous.
McDonough, 55, studied art and architecture at Dartmouth and Yale, where he was heavily influenced by Stewart Brand's Whole Earth Catalog. He made a name for himself in 1985 with his design of the New York headquarters of the Environmental Defense Fund - one of the country's first green offices.
His signature projects since then have included offices for Gap Inc. (its grass-covered roof absorbs storm water and damps the sound of jets flying overhead) and Herman Miller (the building's solar cooling and lighting design cut the company's energy costs by 25 percent), as well as the ongoing $2 billion redesign of Ford's River Rouge complex (which features a 10-acre green roof and a system that converts paint exhaust fumes into electrical power).
When I visit McDonough in Charlottesville, he delights in showing me miniature models and vivid renderings of his current projects. To my untrained eye, they seem fanciful to the point of fantasy.
"We get paid to dream," McDonough says. "Our job is to imagine the exquisitely perfect in order to achieve the practically impossible."
Corporate America at the forefront
For McDonough, that motto applies equally to his work beyond architecture. In Cradle to Cradle, the book he coauthored in 2002, McDonough called for perfectly regenerative products: "Every element should either go back to the soil safely" - be nontoxic and biodegradable - "or go back to industry and be infinitely recyclable," he says.
To encourage companies to this end, he has set up a certification process to bestow on products that meet his standards a cradle-to-cradle label.
What sets McDonough apart from standard-issue greens is his belief that business, driven not by altruism but by pragmatism, is increasingly in the vanguard of eco-progress.
Here he points to Silicon Valley. "It's becoming clear the dematerialization of information is not a benign environmental event," he says. "The Internet is going to be one of the largest power consumers in the world... The awareness in companies is intense. It's driving costs; it's a contingent liability just waiting to strike."
McDonough has his own ideas about how to address this problem. ("I'd put the server farms in the Great Plains," he says. "You could run them using windmills, and hey, guess what, it's cold in Minnesota - and what do server farms need? Cooling.")
But, not surprisingly, he expects that Google (Charts) will emerge as a powerful environmental innovator. Why? Because the company recently hired one of McDonough's firms to work on its campus.
China as solar-power leader?
McDonough's faith in business doesn't stop with entrepreneurial outfits. He thinks corporate titans - Ford (Charts), Procter & Gamble (Charts), Wal-Mart (Charts) - can be even greater forces for good. "If a company wants to do business in Sweden and India, they're going to have to adopt the Swedish standards," he explains.
"We've seen this already with Coke and Pepsi, which are effectively out of business in parts of India because the Indians woke up one day and said, 'The water quality you guys use in Germany is at a higher standard than in India. Are Germans more important than Indians?'"
Few people look at globalization and see a race to the top in environmental standards. Even fewer study China (in this context) and detect, as McDonough does, "a harbinger of hope." His reasoning is that if China adopts solar power to meet its vast and growing appetite for energy, it might drive the price of solar below the price of burning coal, spawning mass-produced technology that could be deployed around the world.
"It's an amazing gift that China could give us," McDonough says.
Before you dismiss him as a Sino-Pollyanna, understand that McDonough knows a lot more about China than you do. He and his people have been helping to design seven new Chinese communities (six cities, one village) using rigorous standards of ecological sustainability.
In one, they're developing a water strategy for a town with open sewers; in another, a solar-powered central city. For still another, McDonough conceived a ground-up master plan in which displaced farmland is moved onto the city's rooftops.
"We got three responses," he says. "'You're totally nuts!' 'How do you do that?' 'Fabulous, let's try it!' Pretty much the same three things that we always hear."
A glass that's not big enough
The China projects have been sobering for McDonough. He harbors no illusions that his firm's hard - and often visionary - work will be implemented in a way that satisfies him.
"Some of it has been neither fun nor rewarding: seeing local entrepreneurs executing our plans in ways that surprise us without delighting us, doing truly frightening stuff," he says.
And yet, in the end, McDonough has no regrets. "I now know things about building a Chinese village that no one else does," he says. "It's an incredible learning laboratory."
McDonough's indefatigable optimism sometimes borders on na�vet�. But together with his abject refusal to acknowledge arbitrary limits, it's what makes him so compelling. As McDonough himself relays, "Somebody joked yesterday, 'Some people see the glass as half-empty and others see it as half-full. Bill doesn't think it's big enough.'"
It isn't hard to imagine why Steven Spielberg wants to make a movie about McDonough. If you're anything like me, when the thing comes out, you'll be first in line to see it.

THIS WEEK'S GUEST-BIANS: Kristanna Loken zeroes in on Shane; Jessica Capshaw crosses the line; Marlee Matlin holds Bette's gaze; Cybill Shepherd proves that teeth can be good.
I think I had a dream like this once — Alice is in bed. She's giving instructions: "Up, higher, left, the other left, make circles, no teeth, oh, teeth are good, jeezus f—in' a christ, oh yeah, f—, this is good, oh yeah, f— f— f—!"
Phyllis emerges from underneath the covers, sighing and looking like she's just seen God. I kinda think she has. If you're able, do yourself a favor and watch Alice come frame by frame. It's spectacular.
Phyllis says she's been dreaming and fantasizing about this forever. Alice tells her she makes a really good student, but Phyllis says she wants to be the professor. It's giggly and fun, sorta like a sleepover, but for grown-ups.
Chez Shayne — Shay has something for Shane: A note about Back to School Night. Shane looks like she'd rather turn straight than go back to school. I like the way she's honest with Shay: She just says, simply, "I don't know if I can do that, Shay."
The home for abandoned animals and artists — Jenny is taking a dying dog home. I almost want to leave it at that, because really, do you expect her actions to be informed by logic? But let's try to unravel this little Schecterian stumper. Maybe she just reread Where the Red Fern Grows and is trying to experience the heartache for herself, or maybe she's making a big paw-print mural or a houndstooth doily.
But it seems to be less self-serving than that, though not necessarily less crazy. Jenny tells the kennel assistant that her name is Debbie and that she has a habit of taking care of dying animals: "All sentient beings deserve to die surrounded by love." The dog she'll be surrounding is named Sounder, and even though Sounder is a she, Jenny alternates between "she" and "he." As if in protest, Sounder barfs on Jenny's silly ballet shoes.
I would also like to point out that the kennel assistant is saying "She has some incontinence" just as the words written by Elizabeth Ziff appear on the screen.

WASHINGTON – Washington apparently has given Iran a warning through a Russian intermediary to resolve issues over its nuclear development program through negotiations by April if it wants to avoid military strikes, according to a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
Russian sources say that U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton informed Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov that the upcoming talks would be "a last chance to resolve the crisis."
She reportedly told Lavrov to "make this point clear to Iranian authorities."
The discussion between Clinton and Lavrov apparently took place on the side following a recent United Nations Security Council meeting.
Russian sources now believe that an attack by Israel on Iran's nuclear facilities is not a question of "if" but "when." Russian sources further point out that the Russian military has been mobilized to a higher state of readiness.
It is unclear what role the Russian military would play in the event Israel attacked Iran. G2Bulletin recently has been reporting on the readiness and enhanced training Israel is conducting in the event it decides to attack Iran's nuclear facilities, including recent long-range practice missions of Israel's fighter aircraft.
"The war is not going to solve the problem and will create a million new ones and will be fraught with serious consequences for many countries," according to Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.

It doesn't pay to travel when Eli Roth is planning the trip. He's the anti-Rick Steves. Roth is responsible for "Cabin Fever" (2002), "Hostel" (2005), and "Hostel, Part II" (2007), films that inspired the term "torture porn," subjecting their characters, often spoiled young American vacationers looking for cheap thrills and thrifty accommodations, to such grisly fates that even the movies' promotional posters have challenged the MPAA. With "Aftershock," though, Roth himself is along for the ride; he's co-writer of the film with Chilean director Nicolás López and the latter's collaborator, Guillermo Amoedo, but also appears onscreen in a leading role. Maybe that's why he brings a lighter touch to the graphic gore, though not to the cynical, sadistic moralism.
Unlike his previous onscreen incarnation as the baseball-bat-wielding Nazi hunter in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" (he is also billed in "Hostel, Part II" as "head on a stick"), here Roth plays a bumptious American abroad referred to simply as "Gringo." He's on vacation in Chile's resort port of Valparaiso with a couple of local pals: tubby, bearded, and obnoxiously nouveau riche Pollo (played by Nicolás Martínez, perhaps the Zach Galifianakis of Chile), and lovelorn Ariel (Ariel Levy), who, like Gringo, is inept when it comes to having a good time. Luckily, what Pollo lacks in charm and attractiveness he makes up for in connections; his dad is loaded and the family name and money are the trio's entrée to good times in the best places. When one fellow turista complains to Gringo that Chile's pleasures are the same as those you can find anywhere else, that she was hoping for something "Third World but cool, like Bali," he assures her that the country is the "indie station of Latin America."
With such crass insensitivity to world suffering established, the agents of slasher movie justice begin stirring. So, too, does the earth. When the group takes in yet another strobe-lit, throbbing club, this one underground, their petty pleasures and squabbling are interrupted by a shaky camera, collapsing masonry, squashed disco kings, gruesome impalings, and some low comedy with a severed hand. Disaster movie meets slasher flick as an earthquake strikes, burying the club and its glittery revelers. At this point I thought the setting might serve as a clever allegory of the socioeconomic structure of capitalist society, as is the case with the inverted cruise ship in "The Poseidon Adventure." Instead, the three friends, plus three women they've picked up, find a short cut to the surface, where much worse than an act of God awaits them: the human element, starting with a handbag snatcher and ending with the entire Chilean prison population set free by the disaster and on the prowl.
Though offering some chilling twists on the usual conventions, employing wit and restraint where otherwise the filmmakers might have relied on the contents of an abattoir, "Aftershock" is ultimately predictable in its litany of who lives and who dies, and doesn't try to be too ironic or self-reflexive about it. Instead, crude, Old Testament justice is done; the rich, privileged, and female might head the list of those punished, but in Roth's movies, everyone is booked for the same trip.Peter Keough can be reached at email@example.com.

MVA-BN RSV is our product candidate in clinical development for the prevention of RSV. The vaccine has been specifically designed to target 5 different RSV proteins to ensure a broad immune response against both RSV subtypes (A B). Extensive preclinical studies have shown that MVA-BN RSV induces a balanced immune response comprised of both antibodies and T cells, in a similar fashion to the natural response to an RSV infection.
Results from a Phase 1 study in 63 healthy adults, aged 18-65, were reported in May 2016, demonstrating that MVA-BN RSV was well tolerated and induced a significant increase in antibodies and T cells in humans against both RSV subtypes. Also of note was the production of IgA, a specialized antibody that is transported from the blood to the mucosal surfaces (e.g. nose, throat, lungs) potentially allowing for protection against RSV at the point of infection/inflammation. These results provide a clear rationale for moving into larger trials, and Bavarian Nordic initiated a Phase 2 dose finding study in 400 elderly subjects in October 2016. Top line results from this study were announced in June 2017.About RSV

Pseudacris crucifer
Status: Not Listed
Classification: Amphibian
Spring peepers are small tree frogs. Their bodies have smooth skin in shades of tan, brown, green, or gray, with lines that form an X-shaped pattern on their backs. Their bellies are white to cream-colored, and they have dark bands on their legs and a dark line between their eyes. Spring peepers are well camouflaged to look like tree bark and have some ability to make themselves lighter or darker in order to better match their surroundings. The flat, terminal pad on each of the amphibian's toes allow it to grip onto plants, while its webbed hind feet give it support. Although they are good climbers, they spend most of their time on the ground, often hiding under leaf litter during the day. Spring peepers are rarely seen, but during mating season in the spring, they are often heard. They are generally about one inch (2.5 centimeters) in length, or about the length of a paper clip, and their weight averages from 0.11 to 0.18 ounces (3 to 5 grams).
Spring peepers can be found from southeastern Canada to the eastern United States, south to northern Florida and west to Minnesota and eastern Texas. They live in moist, wooded areas, fields, and grassy lowlands near ponds and wetlands. Spring peepers hibernate during the winter in soft mud near ponds, under logs, and in holes or loose bark in trees. Snakes, salamanders, large carnivorous insects, raptors, and other birds prey on adult spring peepers. Tadpoles are eaten by aquatic invertebrates and salamander larvae.
Adult spring peepers come out to feed in the late afternoon and early evening, while subadults feed in the early morning to late afternoon. They generally eat beetles, , flies, and spiders. Tadpoles feed on algae and microorganisms.
Life History
Spring peepers are known for the males' mating call—a high-pitched whistling or peeping sound repeated about 20 times a minute. However, the faster and louder they sing, the greater the chances of attracting a mate. They often congregate near water and sing in trios, with the deepest-voiced frog starting the call. They begin breeding early in the spring and call on warm spring nights and during the day in rainy or cloudy weather. Females lay their eggs in vernal pools, ponds, and other wetlands where fish are not present. A female may lay anywhere from 750 to 1,200 eggs, which attach to submerged aquatic vegetation. Males fertilize the eggs as they are laid. Depending on the temperature, eggs can hatch within two days to two weeks. The tadpoles have gills to breathe underwater and tails to help them swim. Tadpoles transform into frogs over the course of 6 to 12 weeks. Spring peepers are said to have short lives, living three to four years at most.
These frogs are common and widespread. However, loss of wetland habitat does pose a threat. Populations are decreasing in some areas.
Fun Fact
Spring peepers are very tolerant of cold conditions. They can withstand freezing during winter hibernation due to a natural "antifreeze" in their blood.

To: All Faculty and Staff
From: President Gail Fullerton
Subject: The Great American Smokeout Day
On Thursday, November 18th, The Great American Smokeout will take place throughout the United States. For six years San José State University has participated, and I am happy to continue the tradition by proclaiming November 18th The Great American Smokeout Day on campus.
The purpose of GAS Day is to help people take the first step toward quitting smoking. Students, faculty, and staff may participate in this nation-wide campaign by becoming volunteer pledge solicitors, by signing pledge cards, and by encouraging others to participate. Pledge cards and information are available at the Student Health Service and at the Health Information booth located in front of the Associated Students Business Office.

Katy Perry: Part of Me
There's a moment that will make any music enthusiast stop and think in Katy Perry's candy-coated, light-as-air 3D concert movie Katy Perry: Part Of Me 3D. In the film, the chart-topping pop star talks about how listening to Alanis Morissette's iconic album Jagged Little Pill changed her life. It's interesting to think about these artists, not just in the disparity between their respective music and image, but, really, how similar these Glen Ballard-produced megastars really are at the core. Both had well-documented break-ups and both hit the scene at a time when there was a distinct void for their brand of entertainment. But herein lies the big question: will their careers ultimately wind up taking the same trajectory? Wouldn't it be far more fascinating when all the pixie dust settles to see where Perry is a little further down the road?
That's not to say Perry isn't entertaining now or that her eye-popping 3D spectacle doesn't have its moments, but we are all so familiar with the 27-year-old singer's story from her religious upbringing to her very public divorce from comedian/actor Russell Brand (neither of which are shied away from in Part of Me) that it makes the sugary flick like more of an easy-to swallow summer treat than something to really sink your teeth in to.
Like 2011's Justin Bieber's concert documentary Never Say Never, Katy Perry: Part of Me shows the meteoric rise of a pop star from humble beginnings with a laser-like determination for success. Still, while Perry has an incredibly likable, approachable persona on and off stage and she's already pulled off one hell of an impressive feat thus far in her career (she's the first female artist in history to generate five number one singles off an album,) like Bieber and other social networking-savvy stars of this era, it feels like only the beginning of the fairy tale for the pop princess.
Still, the self-proclaimed "Katy Cats" won't necessarily need a happily-ever-after to be satisfied with the final product. (If those "It Gets Better"-esque testimonials from young fans that bookend Part of Me tell us anything, it's that she's helping lay the groundwork for theirs.) With expertly choreographed live numbers from her wildly successful worldwide California Dreams tour bound to make her followers dance in their seats (or at least get "Firework" stuck in all of our heads for another summer), intertwined with interviews from those closest to Perry and fly-on-the-wall behind-the-scenes footage, the film certainly has all the thrills of being granted an all-access backstage pass.
For as much glazing over some of Perry's bumps along the way as Part of Me does there's no mention of Perry's previous relationship to musician Travie McCoy; no talk of the singer's excessive wedding in India to Brand; nor is there any focus on the kid-friendly pop star's sometimes controversial image, including that infamous visit to Sesame Street there are still some very raw, relatable, human moments documented here. From an appearance by Perry's adorable scene-stealing grandmother (who outshines the likes of Lady Gaga and Rihanna as the movie's best cameo) reminiscing about her granddaughter as a "silly" youngster to a truly heartbreaking backstage meltdown in which an exhausted, devastated Perry pushes through the pain to ensure that the show goes on.
No matter what your feelings on Perry and Brand's 14-month-marriage, Part of Me can make you empathize with a mega star multimillionaire at certain times (Brand, on the other hand, who appears in the film a number of times, this will do less favors for than his late night FX talk show) but it might also make moviegoers think twice about what they read in the tabloids and how it effects the people on the other end of it. If Part of Me accomplishes nothing more than that, maybe it's there's a little something harder at the center of this cinematic candy, after all.
In the end, viewers really only get part of Katy Perry here, a mostly shiny image of a pop powerhouse at the height of her fame and a taste of her exuberant stage shows. But even if the "inspirational" story of the girl who couldn't watch The Smurfs growing up doesn't move you to be "different" or her Top 40-geared music isn't exactly your cup of tea (or in this case, bra of whipped cream) Perry's humble sincerity and oft-times overwhelming ambition will, at least, make a small part of you want to check in with her again a little further down the road.

Sunchoke Tart
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Sunchokes (aka Jerusalem Artichokes) are a great winter root vegetable. They are native to North America and related to sunflowers. The tubers taste best after at least one hard frost, and they can be harvested anytime the ground is not frozen. When raw they are somewhat like water chestnuts, and when cooked their flavor is reminiscent of artichoke hearts.
For this tart I used a corn flour rosemary crust with a roasted sunchoke, leek, and pancetta filling. I am able to harvest rosemary from my garden year round, so I like to use it in the winter when the more tender herbs are sleeping. The rosemary perfumes the crust and the cornflour lends some nice texture. The filling is a combination of roasted sunchokes, leeks, cheese and pancetta. The sunchokes are the star of this dish, and the rest of the ingredients make a great cast of supporting characters! I think a slice of this combined with a salad would be a perfect late winter lunch or light supper. —hardlikearmour
Makes: one 10 to 11-inch tart
Tart Crust
cup all-purpose flour
cup whole grain corn flour or fine corn meal
teaspoon table salt
teaspoons sugar
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary (chop an additional 1/2 teaspoon for the filling)
cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into 1/4-inch slices
large egg
cup ice cold water
- Combine dry ingredients in bowl of food processor. Pulse several times to combine. Scatter butter over the dry ingredients. Pulse to combine, until mixture is crumbly looking like coarse sand with some pea-sized pieces of butter. Scrape down sides of bowl. Combine egg and water, and mix thoroughly. Drizzle the egg and water mixture over the dough, and pulse just until dough begins to collect into clumps. Scrape down bowl at least once during the process to ensure everything is well mixed.
- Dump dough into a 10- or 11-inch non-stick tart pan, then use your hands to pat it out. Cover the bottom and sides of the tart pan with an even layer of dough. Refrigerate until ready to assemble tart.
Sunchoke Tart
pound sunchokes, scrubbed well
tablespoon olive oil
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
teaspoon sugar
ounces pancetta (or substitute bacon)
small to medium leek
ounces smoked or regular whole milk mozzarella
ounces gouda (smoked if using regular mozzarella)
teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- Heat oven to 400º F with rack in lower middle position. Cover rimmed baking sheet with foil. Dice sunchokes into 1/2-inch sized pieces. Place in medium bowl, and toss well with olive oil, black pepper, and sugar. Spread sunchokes on prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once, until they are soft and starting to brown. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Dice pancetta. Place in small frying pan, and heat over medium heat until most of fat has rendered out and pancetta is crisp. Drain on paper towel and set aside. (Reserve fat for another use if desired.)
- Split leek in half lengthwise. Rinse well between the leaves to make sure no grit remains. Slice leek into thin half moons. Measure out 2/3 cup, and reserve remaining leek slices for a different use. Set aside.
- Shred mozzarella. Set aside. Cube gouda into about 1/4-inch dice. Set aside.
- To assemble tart, remove tart shell from refrigerator. Sprinkle crust with mozzarella. Scatter leeks, sunchokes, pancetta, rosemary, and cubed gouda in an even layer over the mozzarella.
- Bake for approximately 22 to 25 minutes, rotating pan about halfway. The crust should be light brown and the cheese should be melted, bubbling and just starting to brown. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Alternately cool to room temperature before serving.

As an organization, Patch is built on the idea of strengthening local communities and bringing democracy to life. Our network of websites delivers not only relevant, hyper-local information, but also amplifies the voices of our users. And with difficult choices facing our elected officials in the coming days and weeks, the need for citizens to speak up and be heard has never been greater.
It is why I am proud to announce that starting this week, Patch is partnering with Starbucks -- another staple of the community -- on its "Come together" initiative. Just as Patch serves great content and Starbucks serves delicious coffee, we need Democrats and Republicans to join forces and serve meaningful solutions to the pending financial obstacles our country faces.
Through December 28, Starbucks is asking its store partners (employees) in the Washington D.C. area to write "Come together" on their customers' cups as a small gesture to celebrate the spirit that has always bridged the differences dividing us.
Patch will be supporting "Come together" via a unique content experience. It will also be powering this effort through blog posts, social media, online and offline ads and other editorial content across many of our local sites. You can learn more at fixthedebt.org. The goal: to bring the message of collaboration from local communities to Washington and onto the national stage.
This initiative with Starbucks is just the first step in a marathon for both of our brands in serving the people of this country beyond local news and great coffee. Stay tuned for more in the future.

Number of travelers declines slightly from four-year high in 2012
AAA projects 43.4 million Americans will journey 50 miles or more from home during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, a decrease of 1.5 percent from the 44 million people who traveled last year. This decrease falls just shy of last Thanksgiving's four-year peak since the recession-driven declines in 2008-09 when Thanksgiving travel fell by 25 percent. The Thanksgiving holiday travel period is defined as Wednesday, Nov. 27, to Sunday, Dec. 1.
Highlights from this year's 2013 AAA Thanksgiving holiday travel forecast include:
•Thanksgiving travelers to total 43.4 million, a decrease of 1.5 percent from 44 million last year.
•Ninety percent of travelers, or 38.9 million, to travel by automobile, a decline of 1.6 percent.
•Median spending expected to drop nearly 7 percent, to $465, compared to $498 last year.
•Holiday air travel to decline 3.7 percent, to 3.14 million travelers, from 3.26 million in 2012.
•Average distance traveled to increase to 601 miles from 588 miles.
•The Wednesday before Thanksgiving will be the busiest single day of travel with 37 percent of travelers departing for trips Nov. 27.
"While the economy continues to improve, the sluggish pace of the recovery is creating uncertainty in the minds of some consumers and, therefore, AAA is projecting a slight decline in the number of Thanksgiving travelers this year," said Tony Spada, president and CEO of AAA Western and Central New York. "The primary focus of Thanksgiving, more so than any other holiday, is to gather with friends, family and loved ones. Overall, millions of Americans will cast aside fiscal uncertainty to celebrate with the people who matter most in their lives."
Impact of gasoline prices on travel plans
AAA estimates most drivers will pay the cheapest gas prices for the Thanksgiving holiday since 2010, providing consumers with real savings that could be used for other purposes on the trip. The national average for a gallon of gasoline is currently $3.21 per gallon, down 20 cents from last year. In New York, motorists are paying an average of $3.56/gal, down 37 cents from 2012. A gallon of gas in Buffalo is averaging $3.56, down 32 cents from last year.
Wednesday before the holiday will be busiest travel day
The highest volume of travelers plan to leave for their trip the Wednesday before the holiday (37 percent), and return the following Sunday (33 percent), with another 24 percent expecting to return on Monday, Dec 2, or later.
Automobile travel remains dominant mode of transportation; air travel decreases
Approximately 90 percent of travelers (or 38.9 million people) plan to travel by automobile this Thanksgiving, down 1.6 percent from last year. Air travel is expected to decrease 3.7 percent, as 3.14 million holiday travelers will take to the skies. Approximately 1.4 million travelers will choose other modes of transportation, including rail, bus and cruise ship.
Air and hotel rates relatively flat; car rental rates increase 6 percent
According to AAA's Leisure Travel Index, the average lowest round-trip rate for the holiday is $187 for the top 40 U.S. air routes compared to $188 last year.
Thanksgiving holiday hotel rates for AAA Three Diamond lodgings are expected to average $142 per night, compared to $143 last year. AAA Two Diamond hotels are expected to average $105 per night, compared to $104 in 2012. Weekend daily car rental rates will average $50, compared to $47 last year.
Average travel distance increases
The average distance traveled by Americans during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend is expected to be 601 miles, which is an increase of 2.2 percent from last year, when travelers planned to log 588 miles.
Median spending down; visiting family, dining and shopping top activities
Median spending is expected to be $465, a 6.6 percent decrease compared to 2012's expected median spending of $498.
Spending time with family and friends (67 percent) and dining (56 percent) are the most popular activities planned by travelers. Despite lower median spending, nearly half of all travelers (44 percent) plan to shop during the holiday.
As upstate New York's largest member services organization, AAA provides nearly 860,000 members with travel, insurance, financial and automotive-related services. Since its founding in 1900, AAA has been a leading advocate for the safety and security of all travelers. Visit AAA at www.AAA.com.

Crystals are made when a substance has atoms or molecules that form in a very organized, repeating, 3D pattern. Usually when we think of crystals we think of some well-known gemstones like diamonds or rubies, but there are some very common crystals too. Sugar, ice, snowflakes, salt…all of these are crystals. You can make your own crystals grow.
You will need:
- Glass Jar
- Pencil or Pen
- String
- Pipe Cleaner
- Borax
- Pitcher
- Measuring Cup
- Tablespoon
- Hot Tap Water
- Piece of Yarn or Cotton String, about 6 inches long
You can make crystals using Borax – a detergent booster located in the soap section of the grocery store. We made a snowflake shape out of pipecleaners to see if we could make a snowflake crystal. Fill a pitcher with 3 cups hot tap water. (Not so hot that you can't touch it!) Add 3 tablespoons of Borax for each cup of water (9 tablespoons!). Stir the mixture.
If all of the Borax dissolves, add a little more Borax and stir. Add Borax until the water can't dissolve it anymore – the mixture is saturated. That means the water is holding as much of the Borax as it can. In fact, this solution is supersaturated, that means the water is holding even more Borax than it normally would because the water has been heated. Now pour this supersaturated solution in the glass jar.
Make a shape out of the pipe cleaners and tie one end of the string to it. Tie the other end of the string to the middle of the pen. Hang the pipe cleaner shape down in the jar with the pen across the top of the jar to keep it from touching the bottom of the jar. Watch what happens in the jar over the next few weeks.
Here is what our crystals looked like after growing on the pipe cleaner snowflake for about 2 weeks. The secret to good crystals is having a supersaturated solution.
Science Project Idea: Grow three different borax crystal snowflakes. You need three glass jars that are exactly alike. Fill one with cold tap water and one with hot tap water. Get an adult to help you fill the last jar with boiling water. Now add Borax to each jar until the Borax will not dissolve anymore. The warmer the water, the more Borax will dissolve in the water. That's because heating the water helps it become supersaturated. Now add the pipecleaner snowflakes and compare the crystals that grow over the next couple of weeks. Which jar has the most crystals? Which jar has the largest crystals?
This video shows you how to make rock candy – a cool crystal you an eat. To make rock candy you need to make a supersaturated solution. That means you have to heat up the water on the stove, so get a grown-up to help you with this one.
Here are some websites that give you ideas for making crystals. You can grow crystals using salt, sugar, baking soda and many other substances.

- Exploratorium: The Science of Rock Candy
- Exploratorium: The Science of Cooking
- Scholatic: Homemade Rock Crystal Candy
- Martha Stewart Crafts: Borax Snowflakes
- Baking Soda Stalactites
Here is a video that shows you some super fast crystal growing:
Here are some books that gave good directions for growing different kinds of crystals:
- Science Rocks! Crystal Creation Pipecleaner crystal snowflakes (pages 16-17)
- Prize Winning Science Fair Projects for Curious Kids – Crystal Creation (pages 81-82)
- Mixtures and Solutions – Solubility Try This! Growing Crystals (page 22-23)
Words to Know:
Crystal – A solid whose atoms or molecules are arranged in a 3-dimensional repeating pattern. Examples: A snowflake, a sugar crystal, a diamond.
Crystallized – The process of crystal growth or crystal formation.
Dissolve – To mix two substances together and have the molecules of one substance spread out between the molecules of the other substance.
Saturated – When a liquid is holding as much of a solid as it can. It has dissolved all of the solid it can hold.
Supersaturated – When a liquid is holding as much of a solid as it can…but then can dissolve a little more because it is heated.

The Various Kinds of Piano The piano can be broadly classified into two types: the Vertical or Upright piano and the Horizontal or Grand piano. The distinction is made on the basis of the height of the piano in question and the placement of the strings. The upright piano ranges between 36 to 60 inches is usually sub divided into four types: the spinet, the console, the studio and the upright. The spinet has a height of 36 to 38 inches and a width of 58 inches. It is the smallest of pianos and is good for people living in small spaces. However, it is not usually used for professional playing piano because it has less power and accuracy and but that does not mean that it cannot be used in piano lesson and piano tutorial. The console is slightly bigger. Its height ranges between 40 and 43 inches. This kind of piano comes in various styles and hence can be made to match your furniture. The studio is the piano seen in music schools. (More...)
