This class is the base class for all exceptions. When an error occurs, either the system or the currently executing application reports it by throwing an exception that contains information about the error. After an exception is thrown, it is handled by the application or by the default exception handler.
In this section:
Errors and exceptions
Try/catch blocks
Exception type features
Exception class properties
Performance considerations
Re-throwing an exception
Choosing standard exceptions
Implementing custom exceptions
Run-time errors can occur for a variety of reasons. However, not all errors should be handled as exceptions in your code. Here are some categories of errors that can occur at run time and the appropriate ways to respond to them.
Usage errors. A usage error represents an error in program logic that can result in an exception. However, the error should be addressed not through exception handling but by modifying the faulty code. For example, the override of the Object.Equals(Object) method in the following example assumes that the obj argument must always be non-null.
using System; public class Person { private string _name; public string Name { get { return _name; } set { _name = value; } } public override int GetHashCode() { return this.Name.GetHashCode(); } public override bool Equals(object obj) { // This implementation contains an error in program logic: // It assumes that the obj argument is not null. Person p = (Person) obj; return this.Name.Equals(p.Name); } } public class Example { public static void Main() { Person p1 = new Person(); p1.Name = "John"; Person p2 = null; // The following throws a NullReferenceException. Console.WriteLine("p1 = p2: {0}", p1.Equals(p2)); } }
The NullReferenceException exception that results when obj is null can be eliminated by modifying the source code to explicitly test for null before calling the Object.Equals override and then re-compiling. The following example contains the corrected source code that handles a null argument.
using System; public class Person { private string _name; public string Name { get { return _name; } set { _name = value; } } public override int GetHashCode() { return this.Name.GetHashCode(); } public override bool Equals(object obj) { // This implementation handles a null obj argument. Person p = obj as Person; if (p == null) return false; else return this.Name.Equals(p.Name); } } public class Example { public static void Main() { Person p1 = new Person(); p1.Name = "John"; Person p2 = null; Console.WriteLine("p1 = p2: {0}", p1.Equals(p2)); } } // The example displays the following output: // p1 = p2: False
Instead of using exception handling for usage errors, you can use the Debug.Assert method to identify usage errors in debug builds, and the Trace.Assert method to identify usage errors in both debug and release builds. For more information, see Assertions in Managed Code.
Program errors. A program error is a run-time error that cannot necessarily be avoided by writing bug-free code.
In some cases, a program error may reflect an expected or routine error condition. In this case, you may want to avoid using exception handling to deal with the program error and instead retry the operation. For example, if the user is expected to input a date in a particular format, you can parse the date string by calling the DateTime.TryParseExact method, which returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the parse operation succeeded, instead of using the DateTime.ParseExact method, which throws a FormatException exception if the date string cannot be converted to a DateTime value. Similarly, if a user tries to open a file that does not exist, you can first call the File.Exists method to check whether the file exists and, if it does not, prompt the user whether he or she wants to create it.
In other cases, a program error reflects an unexpected error condition that can be handled in your code. For example, even if you've checked to ensure that a file exists, it may be deleted before you can open it, or it may be corrupted. In that case, trying to open the file by instantiating a StreamReader object or calling the Open method may throw a FileNotFoundException exception. In these cases, you should use exception handling to recover from the error.
System failures. A system failure is a run-time error that cannot be handled programmatically in a meaningful way. For example, any method can throw an OutOfMemoryException exception if the common language runtime is unable to allocate additional memory. Ordinarily, system failures are not handled by using exception handling. Instead, you may be able to use an event such as AppDomain.UnhandledException and call the Environment.FailFast method to log exception information and notify the user of the failure before the application terminates.
The common language runtime provides an exception handling model that is based on the representation of exceptions as objects, and the separation of program code and exception handling code into try blocks and catch blocks. There can be one or more catch blocks, each designed to handle a particular type of exception, or one block designed to catch a more specific exception than another block.
If an application handles exceptions that occur during the execution of a block of application code, the code must be placed within a try statement and is called a try block. Application code that handles exceptions thrown by a try block is placed within a catch statement and is called a catch block. Zero or more catch blocks are associated with a try block, and each catch block includes a type filter that determines the types of exceptions it handles.
When an exception occurs in a try block, the system searches the associated catch blocks in the order they appear in application code, until it locates a catch block that handles the exception. A catch block handles an exception of type T if the type filter of the catch block specifies T or any type that T derives from. The system stops searching after it finds the first catch block that handles the exception. For this reason, in application code, a catch block that handles a type must be specified before a catch block that handles its base types, as demonstrated in the example that follows this section. A catch block that handles System.Exception is specified last.
If none of the catch blocks associated with the current try block handle the exception, and the current try block is nested within other try blocks in the current call, the catch blocks associated with the next enclosing try block are searched. If no catch block for the exception is found, the system searches previous nesting levels in the current call. If no catch block for the exception is found in the current call, the exception is passed up the call stack, and the previous stack frame is searched for a catch block that handles the exception. The search of the call stack continues until the exception is handled or until no more frames exist on the call stack. If the top of the call stack is reached without finding a catch block that handles the exception, the default exception handler handles it and the application terminates.
Exception types support the following features:
Human-readable text that describes the error. When an exception occurs, the runtime makes a text message available to inform the user of the nature of the error and to suggest action to resolve the problem. This text message is held in the Message property of the exception object. During the creation of the exception object, you can pass a text string to the constructor to describe the details of that particular exception. If no error message argument is supplied to the constructor, the default error message is used. For more information, see the Message property.
The state of the call stack when the exception was thrown. The StackTrace property carries a stack trace that can be used to determine where the error occurs in the code. The stack trace lists all the called methods and the line numbers in the source file where the calls are made.
The Exception class includes a number of properties that help identify the code location, the type, the help file, and the reason for the exception: StackTrace, InnerException, Message, HelpLink, HResult, Source, TargetSite, and Data.
When a causal relationship exists between two or more exceptions, the InnerException property maintains this information. The outer exception is thrown in response to this inner exception. The code that handles the outer exception can use the information from the earlier inner exception to handle the error more appropriately. Supplementary information about the exception can be stored as a collection of key/value pairs in the Data property.
The error message string that is passed to the constructor during the creation of the exception object should be localized and can be supplied from a resource file by using the ResourceManager class. For more information about localized resources, see the Creating Satellite Assemblies for Desktop Apps and Packaging and Deploying Resources in Desktop Apps topics.
To provide the user with extensive information about why the exception occurred, the HelpLink property can hold a URL (or URN) to a help file.
The Exception class uses the HRESULT COR_E_EXCEPTION, which has the value 0x80131500.
For a list of initial property values for an instance of the Exception class, see the Exception constructors.
Throwing or handling an exception consumes a significant amount of system resources and execution time. Throw exceptions only to handle truly extraordinary conditions, not to handle predictable events or flow control. For example, in some cases, such as when you're developing a class library, it's reasonable to throw an exception if a method argument is invalid, because you expect your method to be called with valid parameters. An invalid method argument, if it is not the result of a usage error, means that something extraordinary has occurred. Conversely, do not throw an exception if user input is invalid, because you can expect users to occasionally enter invalid data. Instead, provide a retry mechanism so users can enter valid input. Nor should you use exceptions to handle usage errors. Instead, use assertions to identify and correct usage errors.
In addition, do not throw an exception when a return code is sufficient; do not convert a return code to an exception; and do not routinely catch an exception, ignore it, and then continue processing.
In many cases, an exception handler simply wants to pass the exception on to the caller. This most often occurs in:
A class library that in turn wraps calls to methods in the .NET Framework class library or other class libraries.
An application or library that encounters a fatal exception. The exception handler can log the exception and then re-throw the exception.
The recommended way to re-throw an exception is to simply use the throw statement in C# and the Throw statement in Visual Basic without including an expression. This ensures that all call stack information is preserved when the exception is propagated to the caller. The following example illustrates this. A string extension method, FindOccurrences, wraps one or more calls to String.IndexOf(String, Int32) without validating its arguments beforehand.
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Runtime.CompilerServices; public static class Library { public static int[] FindOccurrences(this String s, String f) { var indexes = new List<int>(); int currentIndex = 0; try { while (currentIndex >= 0 && currentIndex < s.Length) { currentIndex = s.IndexOf(f, currentIndex); if (currentIndex >= 0) { indexes.Add(currentIndex); currentIndex++; } } } catch (ArgumentNullException e) { // Perform some action here, such as logging this exception. throw; } return indexes.ToArray(); } }
A caller then calls FindOccurrences twice. In the second call to FindOccurrences, the caller passes a null as the search string, which cases the String.IndexOf(String, Int32) method to throw an ArgumentNullException exception. This exception is handled by the FindOccurrences method and passed back to the caller. Because the throw statement is used with no expression, the output from the example shows that the call stack is preserved.
public class Example { public static void Main() { String s = "It was a cold day when..."; int[] indexes = s.FindOccurrences("a"); ShowOccurrences(s, "a", indexes); Console.WriteLine(); String toFind = null; try { indexes = s.FindOccurrences(toFind); ShowOccurrences(s, toFind, indexes); } catch (ArgumentNullException e) { Console.WriteLine("An exception ({0}) occurred.", e.GetType().Name); Console.WriteLine("Message:\n {0}\n", e.Message); Console.WriteLine("Stack Trace:\n {0}\n", e.StackTrace); } } private static void ShowOccurrences(String s, String toFind, int[] indexes) { Console.Write("'{0}' occurs at the following character positions: ", toFind); for (int ctr = 0; ctr < indexes.Length; ctr++) Console.Write("{0}{1}", indexes[ctr], ctr == indexes.Length - 1 ? "" : ", "); Console.WriteLine(); } } // The example displays the following output: // 'a' occurs at the following character positions: 4, 7, 15 // // An exception (ArgumentNullException) occurred. // Message: // Value cannot be null. // Parameter name: value // // Stack Trace: // at System.String.IndexOf(String value, Int32 startIndex, Int32 count, Stri // ngComparison comparisonType) // at Library.FindOccurrences(String s, String f) // at Example.Main()
In contrast, if the exception is re-thrown by using the
statement, the full call stack is not preserved, and the example would generate the following output:
'a' occurs at the following character positions: 4, 7, 15 An exception (ArgumentNullException) occurred. Message: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: value Stack Trace: at Library.FindOccurrences(String s, String f) at Example.Main()
A slightly more cumbersome alternative is to throw a new exception, and to preserve the original exception's call stack information in an inner exception. The caller can then use the new exception's InnerException property to retrieve stack frame and other information about the original exception. In this case, the throw statement is:
The user code that handles the exception has to know that the InnerException property contains information about the original exception, as the following exception handler illustrates.
try { indexes = s.FindOccurrences(toFind); ShowOccurrences(s, toFind, indexes); } catch (ArgumentNullException e) { Console.WriteLine("An exception ({0}) occurred.", e.GetType().Name); Console.WriteLine(" Message:\n{0}", e.Message); Console.WriteLine(" Stack Trace:\n {0}", e.StackTrace); Exception ie = e.InnerException; if (ie != null) { Console.WriteLine(" The Inner Exception:"); Console.WriteLine(" Exception Name: {0}", ie.GetType().Name); Console.WriteLine(" Message: {0}\n", ie.Message); Console.WriteLine(" Stack Trace:\n {0}\n", ie.StackTrace); } } // The example displays the following output: // 'a' occurs at the following character positions: 4, 7, 15 // // An exception (ArgumentNullException) occurred. // Message: You must supply a search string. // // Stack Trace: // at Library.FindOccurrences(String s, String f) // at Example.Main() // // The Inner Exception: // Exception Name: ArgumentNullException // Message: Value cannot be null. // Parameter name: value // // Stack Trace: // at System.String.IndexOf(String value, Int32 startIndex, Int32 count, Stri // ngComparison comparisonType) // at Library.FindOccurrences(String s, String f)
When you have to throw an exception, you can often use an existing exception type in the .NET Framework instead of implementing a custom exception. You should use a standard exception type under these two conditions:
You are throwing an exception that is caused by a usage error (that is, by an error in program logic made by the developer who is calling your method). Typically, you would throw an exception such as ArgumentException, ArgumentNullException, InvalidOperationException, or NotSupportedException. The string you supply to the exception object's constructor when instantiating the exception object should describe the error so that the developer can fix it. For more information, see the Message property.
You are handling an error that can be communicated to the caller with an existing .NET Framework exception. You should throw the most derived exception possible. For example, if a method requires an argument to be a valid member of an enumeration type, you should throw an InvalidEnumArgumentException (the most derived class) rather than an ArgumentException.
The following table lists common exception types and the conditions under which you would throw them.
A non-null argument that is passed to a method is invalid.
An argument that is passed to a method is null.
An argument is outside the range of valid values.
Part of a directory path is not valid.
The denominator in an integer or Decimal division operation is zero.
A drive is unavailable or does not exist.
A file does not exist.
A value is not in an appropriate format to be converted from a string by a conversion method such as Parse.
An index is outside the bounds of an array or collection.
A method call is invalid in an object's current state.
The specified key for accessing a member in a collection cannot be found.
A method or operation is not implemented.
A method or operation is not supported.
An operation is performed on an object that has been disposed.
An arithmetic, casting, or conversion operation results in an overflow.
A path or file name exceeds the maximum system-defined length.
The operation is not supported on the current platform.
An array with the wrong number of dimensions is passed to a method.
The time interval allotted to an operation has expired.
An invalid Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is used.
In the following cases, using an existing .NET Framework exception to handle an error condition is not adequate:
When the exception reflects a unique program error that cannot be mapped to an existing .NET Framework exception.
When the exception requires handling that is different from the handling that is appropriate for an existing .NET Framework exception, or the exception must be disambiguated from a similar exception. For example, if you throw an ArgumentOutOfRangeException exception when parsing the numeric representation of a string that is out of range of the target integral type, you would not want to use the same exception for an error that results from the caller not supplying the appropriate constrained values when calling the method.
The Exception class is the base class of all exceptions in the .NET Framework. Many derived classes rely on the inherited behavior of the members of the Exception class; they do not override the members of Exception, nor do they define any unique members.
To define your own exception class:
Define a class that inherits from Exception. If necessary, define any unique members needed by your class to provide additional information about the exception. For example, the ArgumentException class includes a ParamName property that specifies the name of the parameter whose argument caused the exception, and the RegexMatchTimeoutException property includes a MatchTimeout property that indicates the time-out interval.
If necessary, override any inherited members whose functionality you want to change or modify. Note that most existing derived classes of Exception do not override the behavior of inherited members.
Determine whether your custom exception object is serializable. Serialization enables you to save information about the exception and permits exception information to be shared by a server and a client proxy in a remoting context. To make the exception object serializable, mark it with the SerializableAttribute attribute.
Define the constructors of your exception class. Typically, exception classes have one or more of the following constructors:
Exception(), which uses default values to initialize the properties of a new exception object.
Exception(String), which initializes a new exception object with a specified error message.
Exception(String, Exception), which initializes a new exception object with a specified error message and inner exception.
Exception(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext), which is a protected constructor that initializes a new exception object from serialized data. You should implement this constructor if you've chosen to make your exception object serializable.
The following example illustrates the use of a custom exception class. It defines a NotPrimeException exception that is thrown when a client tries to retrieve a sequence of prime numbers by specifying a starting number that is not prime. The exception defines a new property, NonPrime, that returns the non-prime number that caused the exception. Besides implementing a protected parameterless constructor and a constructor with SerializationInfo and StreamingContext parameters for serialization, the NotPrimeException class defines three additional constructors to support the NonPrime property. Each constructor calls a base class constructor in addition to preserving the value of the non-prime number. The NotPrimeException class is also marked with the SerializableAttribute attribute.
using System; using System.Runtime.Serialization; [Serializable()] public class NotPrimeException : Exception { private int notAPrime; protected NotPrimeException() : base() { } public NotPrimeException(int value) : base(String.Format("{0} is not a prime number.", value)) { notAPrime = value; } public NotPrimeException(int value, string message) : base(message) { notAPrime = value; } public NotPrimeException(int value, string message, Exception innerException) : base(message, innerException) { notAPrime = value; } protected NotPrimeException(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context) : base(info, context) { } public int NonPrime { get { return notAPrime; } } }
The PrimeNumberGenerator class shown in the following example uses the Sieve of Eratosthenes to calculate the sequence of prime numbers from 2 to a limit specified by the client in the call to its class constructor. The GetPrimesFrom method returns all prime numbers that are greater than or equal to a specified lower limit, but throws a NotPrimeException if that lower limit is not a prime number.
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; [Serializable] public class PrimeNumberGenerator { private const int START = 2; private int maxUpperBound = 10000000; private int upperBound; private bool[] primeTable; private List<int> primes = new List<int>(); public PrimeNumberGenerator(int upperBound) { if (upperBound > maxUpperBound) { string message = String.Format( "{0} exceeds the maximum upper bound of {1}.", upperBound, maxUpperBound); throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(message); } this.upperBound = upperBound; // Create array and mark 0, 1 as not prime (True). primeTable = new bool[upperBound + 1]; primeTable[0] = true; primeTable[1] = true; // Use Sieve of Eratosthenes to determine prime numbers. for (int ctr = START; ctr <= (int)Math.Ceiling(Math.Sqrt(upperBound)); ctr++) { if (primeTable[ctr]) continue; for (int multiplier = ctr; multiplier <= upperBound / ctr; multiplier++) if (ctr * multiplier <= upperBound) primeTable[ctr * multiplier] = true; } // Populate array with prime number information. int index = START; while (index != -1) { index = Array.FindIndex(primeTable, index, (flag) => !flag); if (index >= 1) { primes.Add(index); index++; } } } public int[] GetAllPrimes() { return primes.ToArray(); } public int[] GetPrimesFrom(int prime) { int start = primes.FindIndex((value) => value == prime); if (start < 0) throw new NotPrimeException(prime, String.Format("{0} is not a prime number.", prime)); else return primes.FindAll((value) => value >= prime).ToArray(); } }
The following example makes two calls to the GetPrimesFrom method with non-prime numbers, one of which crosses application domain boundaries. In both cases, the exception is thrown and successfully handled in client code.
using System; using System.Reflection; class Example { public static void Main() { int limit = 10000000; PrimeNumberGenerator primes = new PrimeNumberGenerator(limit); int start = 1000001; try { int[] values = primes.GetPrimesFrom(start); Console.WriteLine("There are {0} prime numbers from {1} to {2}", start, limit); } catch (NotPrimeException e) { Console.WriteLine("{0} is not prime", e.NonPrime); Console.WriteLine(e); Console.WriteLine("--------"); } AppDomain domain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("Domain2"); PrimeNumberGenerator gen = (PrimeNumberGenerator)domain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap( typeof(Example).Assembly.FullName, "PrimeNumberGenerator", true, BindingFlags.Default, null, new object[] { 1000000 }, null, null); try { start = 100; Console.WriteLine(gen.GetPrimesFrom(start)); } catch (NotPrimeException e) { Console.WriteLine("{0} is not prime", e.NonPrime); Console.WriteLine(e); Console.WriteLine("--------"); } } }
In .NET for Windows 8.x Store apps for Windows 8, some exception information is typically lost when an exception is propagated through non-.NET Framework stack frames. Starting with the .NET Framework 4.5.1 and Windows 8.1, the common language runtime continues to use the original Exception object that was thrown unless that exception was modified in a non-.NET Framework stack frame.
The following example demonstrates a catch block that is defined to handle ArithmeticException errors. This catch block also catches DivideByZeroException errors, because DivideByZeroException derives from ArithmeticException and there is no catch block explicitly defined for DivideByZeroException errors.
using System; class ExceptionTestClass { public static void Main() { int x = 0; try { int y = 100/x; } catch (ArithmeticException e) { Console.WriteLine("ArithmeticException Handler: {0}", e.ToString()); } catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("Generic Exception Handler: {0}", e.ToString()); } } } /* This code example produces the following results: ArithmeticException Handler: System.DivideByZeroException: Attempted to divide by zero. at ExceptionTestClass.Main() */

At present, our society's norms are that breastfeeding an older child (even a 1 year old) is unusual, and causes discomfort to some people. It shouldn't be that way, but it is." Vicki Scott, Philips AVENT feeding and wellbeing advisor "Older babies need solid food too""As human breast milk is purpose-built for the human child, it would always be an excellent choice nutritionally. However, after 6 months, a baby needs to have a more mixed diet via the introduction of solid food. You can, of course, continue to breastfeed alongside weaning. Not only does breast milk contain the nutrients a baby needs in the correct ratios, but breastfeeding has also been shown to have benefits for the development of a child's immune system and brain development." Clare Jones, nutritionist with the British Association for Nutritional Therapy "It starts to be an indulgence""I think breastfeeding can easily become a comfort thing, both for child and mother. There's a point when it's habit rather than a source of nutrition." Jo Holland, 35, from Kent, mum to Harry, 9, Bridie, 8, Erin, 6, Arthur, 4, Arwen, 2, Matilda, 1, and 29 weeks pregnant Continue slideshow > "Our culture has a lot of hang-ups""As a nation we have a lot of hang-ups about breastfeeding. There's the issue of feeding in public, and it's also possible that people have a problem with children who are old enough to recognise what a breast is, being fed by it." Alison Brown, midwife with Tommee Tippee "Let children grow up""I have to admit, I find it all very strange! I think mothers who breastfeed their children beyond toddler age are trying to hold onto something. They are trying to keep their little ones baby-like. Older children really don't need breast milk as, by that stage, they should be getting most of their nutrients from their food." Caroline Bailey, 33, from Lincolnshire, mum to Bronwyn, 18 months, and Leighton, 4 months "Do whatever's best for you and your child""All mothers and babies are different. Children mature at varying rates and will wean at different times. We don't set rules on when is the 'right' time to finish breastfeeding - the aim is to finish when both mother and child feel good about it." Anna Burbidge, spokesperson for La Leche League "My husband didn't like it""I breastfed my daughter until she was 2 years 3 months, just on waking and last thing at night. I even got negative reactions from my husband about it, but felt that it was my decision. My dad died of cancer and breastfeeding is supposed to help protect against it, so that's part of the reason I fed her for so long. I think that 2 years old is enough though. I wouldn't like to see a child of 4 still getting breastfed." Audrey Williamson, 35, from Northern Ireland, mum to Christine, 7, Robert, 6, Sarah, 4, and baby No 4 due this month By Emma Hartfield Comments Latest on MadeForMums Postpartum psychosis – just how many mums suffer from it?

Receiving Wide Coverage ...
Big Payday: The best-paid financial-services CEO in 2012 was not Lloyd Blankfein or Jamie Dimon but Richard Handler, of the lesser-known investment bank Jefferies Group. He took home $45 million (or $58 million if you count shares he received) after making a deal to sell Jefferies to the industrial smorgasbord Leucadia National, which he'll run. The Journal's story is meaty, highlighting the board's use of peer comparisons in determining Handler's compensation after scrapping that practice the year before. The papers note that Jefferies, bucking the industry trend, pays its bonuses all-cash, up front, rather than deferring them or paying in stock — though according to the FT, "some said the cash bonuses were paltry compared with pay at other banks. Employees must pay the cash back if they leave for one of Jefferies' competitors." Wall Street Journal, Financial Times
Wall Street Journal
When the economy strengthens and interest rates rise in a few years, the Fed may take losses on its bond portfolio and pay higher interest expenses on reserves held by banks. That would leave the central bank without the profits it's been sending to Treasury. But as our grandparents might have said, we should all be so lucky to have such problems. Comments a Journal reader: "Did you say 'when' the economy is stronger? Don't you really mean 'if'?"
Financial Times
"Banks' debt product skirt liquidity rules" — it's called callable commercial paper, and it has a maturity of "up to 200 days but would be redeemed by the [municipal] issuer before 30 days." Hence, banks can backstop the paper for municipalities while avoiding a Basel III rule requiring them to hold liquid assets to cover commitments that could be tapped within 30 days.
New York Times
It's official now. "Lanny A. Breuer, the federal prosecutor who led the Justice Department's response to corporate crime in the wake of the financial crisis, will announce on Wednesday that he is stepping down." (Recall the Post was alone in reporting this last week.) Can he take Carmen Ortiz with him?
Wow. "The push to make MF Global customers nearly whole, a goal now surprisingly within reach, is a remarkable turnaround for the brokerage firm."
"HSBC Adds to Oversight Effort With Board Committee"
Washington Post
"In report to Congress, TARP special inspector general pushes for a plan for Ally to repay taxpayers." The former GMAC is the last big company that still owes the government for the bailout.
"Post-Lehman, the push for global financial protections stalls." A broad roundup.
Elsewhere ...
The New Yorker: Tad Friend's profile of the entrepreneur pushing eminent domain for underwater mortgages is a must-read, even though it apparently went to bed before San Bernardino County scrapped its proposal. (A choice line: "'You take the mortgage with the approval of the homeowner, right?' 'Well, yes and no,' Gluckstern said, meaning 'No.'") Also, the magazine's legal correspondent Jeffrey Toobin calls the Supreme Court decision invalidating Obama's recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board an "atrocity," and rues that "the appointments of not only the N.L.R.B. commissioners but also of [CFPB Director Richard] Cordray, and all of the actions of his new organization, are now in clear jeopardy." We suspect some Morning Scan readers are less bothered about that implication of the ruling.
New York Magazine: Our favorite quote from this exit interview with Tim Geithner: "This is a deeply complicated world, in a fog of gray and ambiguity.… It's easier for people to absorb the simple narrative of the black and white. And for them the black and white is, 'Those are the people that got us in the mess; you saved them and they paid themselves billions in bonuses, and they should have gone to jail, and they are still walking around.' I don't know anything powerful enough to overwhelm that simple narrative." But the best line of all comes from the reporter: "I can write, right here, in all caps, TIM GEITHNER HAS NEVER WORKED ON WALL STREET, and still someone will comment on our website that he is a bankster who should just go back to Goldman Sachs." Warning to readers with sensitive ears: Geithner cusses at the end of the article, perhaps in an attempt to show the magazine's readers he's as rugged as past interviewee Jamie Dimon.
Rolling Stone: Matt Taibbi lambastes the nomination of Mary Jo White to head the SEC. "Couldn't they have found someone who wasn't a key figure in one of the most notorious scandals to hit the SEC in the past two decades? And couldn't they have found someone who isn't a perfect symbol of the revolving-door culture?" The scandal he refers to involves former Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse honcho John Mack and the old Heller Financial (now a part of GE).
And Lastly ...
Here's an article about our nerdy fintech obsession Bitcoin … in an in-flight magazine. It starts on page 70 of a slow-to-load pdf.

Emmet Fox Quotes About BeliefQuotes about: Belief
What we see in the outer is but a reflection of the inner, because we surround ourselves with a picture of our own beliefs. In other words, we manifest in general what we seriously think and believe. So if we want to find out what our habitual thinking is like, we have but to look around us and ask ourselves what we really see.
Nature always takes you at your own valuation. Believe you are the child of God-really believe it. Believe that you express Divine Life, Divine Truth, and Divine Love. Believe that Divine Wisdom guides you. Believe that God is your supply. Believe that God is helping and blessing humanity through you. Believe that you are a special enterprise on the part of God and that he is opening your way-and what you really believe, that you will demonstrate.
Human nature is such that humans can turn to God anywhere at any time, and by believing in His care and protection, and thinking in accordance with this belief, fill their hearts with peace and poise, rebuild their bodies into health and strength, and surround themselves with harmonious and joyous conditions.

Have you heard of the RingBrothers? If you have then you'll like what you're about to read and if you haven't welcome to the world of the RingBrothers!
In the past few months the RingBrothers have been commissioned to develop an off the wall car for a mysterious Russian client living in London who they have never met or spoken to!
The car they have developed has a seemingly appropriate name "Espionage". The car is a classic, a 1965 Ford Mustang that has a carbon fiber body!
"We think a lot of younger people will be into it because they like carbon fiber and will become attracted to the older body styles," said Mike Ring.
Jim Ring further added "It forces us to try and do different things. The use of carbon fiber is really coming in strong and we think it is a big piece of the automotive future."
The only difference in this car compared to the original 1965 Mustang is that it's 4 inches wider. "We put two inches into each side, in the fenders, doors, and so instead of 'just' making a carbon fiber Mustang, we made it even more unique."
Asked why the name of Espionage for the car, Mike Ring commented that "We call the car Espionage because we are kind of hiding all the carbon."
Clearly a lot of classic fans would not be too happy with the modifications that have been done to the car. However the RingBrothers say they want to be "rebels, and do things differently to get noticed, good or bad."
"As a young builder in the industry I think it is important to remember not to worry what everyone else thinks. It's important to remember that and color outside the lines a little bit to get noticed."
What do you think of the car?


text: Technology Saved My Life: Part 1 22 August 2013 jennifer Jenny Reflecting on my 212lb weight loss journey is something that I do on a daily basis. Seriously. Having lost the weight of 141 DOZEN Krispy Kreme glazed donuts is pretty incredible. Sometimes I'm still in shock that I managed to do it. But I did. Without the help of drugs, surgery, wraps, or shakes. But there is ONE thing that I used. One thing that saved my life. What is that?? TECHNOLOGY!! You might be scratching your head thinking "how did technology save her life?" Let me explain. Back in 2008 when I began my life changing transformation I didn't tackle diet and exercise at the same time. Weighing 369 pounds and being a realist, I knew that if I attempted to change too much at one time I would become overwhelmed and likely fail. What I did first was begin to exercise. But I needed to know how effective was my exercise plan? Was I burning the calories that the exercise bike at the gym told me? I had to know. Enter technology...in the form of my very first Polar product, a F7 Heart Rate Monitor. And what my F7 told me was that I was NOT burning nearly as many calories as I thought I was. It also taught me that I wasn't working as hard or as effectively as I could be. Polar's motto of "Listening to your body is one thing, understanding what it is telling you is an altogether different story" was so true for me. Once I embraced that I was capable of doing more, I started to do more. And as I began to do more, my training evolved and changed and so did my need for my training products. As I approached the anniversary of one year on my journey and losing 100 pounds, I decided to treat myself to a new Polar. A top of the line RS800CX. I LOVED this piece of technology. It kept me accountable and on a steady path of fitness success. But Polar has so many great products and again, as my journey evolved, so did my fitness needs. I also needed heart rate monitors that could be worn as accessories. With having 3 young kids, and a very active life, always on the go, I am not one to change out my watch after a workout. So I needed something that could go from the gym to the office, to a PTA meeting, to a cocktail party. My first foray into this was a beautiful lime green FT40. I got so many compliments on this watch, but it still didn't have quite all the functions I was looking for. So I got another one. This time a snazzy FT60 in Berry. And this baby...this baby took me where I needed to go! This piece of technology is the one that I currently use 80% of the time. Why only 80%?? As I have gotten more involved in sports, I have an need to know how fast I am going, how many miles I am going, what my heart rate is, what my elevation is, and as much as I love the FT60, it can't do ALL that. I also have a beautiful RC3GPS that I wear when I am running or outdoor cycling. This HRM is amazing, but it's bulky, totally not water friendly, and not as pretty as my Berry FT60, so it's only worn for certain fitness occasions. It's hard to believe that I went from that to this. But I did. With the help of technology. And if you look close enough in the "this" picture, you'll notice my RS800CX on my wrist. But more than this...Polar and Technology have opened so many doors for me. By posting my pictures on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook, I have inspired, motivated and been able to share my journey with thousands of people. In turn, I have been motivated and inspired by thousands of people. People that I would have NEVER met if I didn't embrace technology and the world of social media. Technology doesn't have to bring us further apart, technology can connect us in ways that we never thought possible. Technology enabled me to start this blog. To be able to share my story, my message with whomever wants to read it! And your support, your comments help to keep me inspired. I have made friends all over the world, and have had the opportunity to meet a lot of these friends in real life. I've made connections with local fitness bloggers and have genuine, honest to goodness relationship with these women. I trust my children with them. All because of technology. But as I mentioned fitness was only one aspect of my journey. I also had to change how and what I ate. And I used technology for that, too. I'll explain that in Part 2. Have you made friends through technology? Have you been able to meet these online friends in real life? Does technology assist you in your fitness journey??

Yesterday I posted about chicken empanadas, luckily for me I had some leftovers. I wanted to put the mixture to good use because it was so good. So, if you're like me and had some chicken mixture left over, just follow these simple directions to enjoy a delectable baked pasta dish.
For those of you who did not make empanadas the night before, the ingredients are simple and included below:
- 3 cups chopped, cooked chicken
- 1 (8-ounce) package shredded Colby and Monterey Jack Cheese blend (I used Colby Jack and it turned out great)
- 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper (I actually chopped an entire bell pepper)
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Added ingredients for pasta dish:
- Box of rigatoni
- extra cheese (preferably colby jack)
Now, onto the delicious baked rigatoni:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F
- Cook the rigatoni (I used about half to three - quarters of a box of dry pasta)
- in a large pot, bring to a boil approximately 5 quarts of salted water (to taste)
- add pasta and return to a boil for 10 to 11 minutes, stirring occasionally
- remove from heat and drain well
- add just a touch of sauce to coat the cooked noodles
- In a greased baking dish, pour a layer of the pasta, then add a layer of sauce (as much or as little as you like) to cover the pasta, then add a layer of the chicken mixture. Repeat this at least two times (and then as much as your greased baking dish will allow).
- Shred some additional cheese to lightly coat the top of the dish
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until cheese is melting and pasta is cooked to taste.
If you wanted, you could add a piece of garlic bread - it would go very well with this dish. I chose not to because the pasta itself was filling enough!
Until next time, remember that leftovers don't always have to be a drag!!

Solar stocks are completely undervalued. And big money stands to be made. The following is a current profile of the industry, along with what to expect going forward.
The Solar Industry*
Let's start with the basics.
The global solar industry has grown 931% over the past nine years, from an installed capacity of 1428 MW in 2000 to 14730 MW at the end of 2008.
That breaks down to a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 33.87% for the same period.
Folks, not many things grow 931% in nine years. In fact, the Dow Jones Industrial Average actually lost 21% during the same time!
Broken down by country, or by region, some interesting trends also emerge, especially when it comes to the countries with the highest growth rates for solar installations.
For example, I bet you'd never guess that Belgium ranked among the top five countries for solar installation growth over the past nine years.
Here's the full list of the top five countries, along with their respective solar installation annual growth rates:
Spain, 104% CAGR
Belgium, 91.12% CAGR
Republic of Korea, 74.8% CAGR
Portugal, 69.44% CAGR
Germany, 61.79% CAGR
That's the story for the past nine years. Some savvy investors made a lot of money, but it's nothing compared to what'll happen the next nine years.
Solar Stocks Outlook & Industry Forecast
Under a conservative growth scenario, the solar energy industry will grow another 47% by the end of 2012. By 2020, it will have grown over 1427% from 2007 levels.
Worth noting is that the compounded annual growth slows during the period from 2009-2020, to 28.13%-down from 33.87% for the period from 2000-2008.
This is more an indication that the industry is maturing than it is an indication of slower growth. This is due to the volume of solar module being installed.
For example, 54,122 MW of solar energy capacity will be installed in 2014. Only 19,531 MW will be installed this year.
So the percentage growth of installs is slower, but the amount of panels being produced and installed is much greater. This is great news for investors.
Interestingly, the countries in which a good portion of these future panels are going to be installed is different from the countries leading the way over the past nine years.
This is due to saturating markets, policy leadership, and the price of retail electricity if different areas.
The five countries leading the way in the next five years are, along with their estimated CAGR:
Italy, 54.25% CAGR
France, 38.30% CAGR
Greece, 36.16% CAGR
India, 33.13% CAGR
China comes in fifth for anticipated growth over the next ten years, with good opportunities also emerging in Australia and Central Europe.
Preparing for Solar Industry Growth
To get a grip of how the solar industry is playing out, it's helpful to first see who the largest players are.
Here's a chart of the top solar cell producers by market share for 2006-2007 (the most recent data available):
I will tell you, however, that Q-Cells (XETRA: QCE) has since taken over the top spot.
Sharp (TYO: 6753), Kyocera (NYSE: KYO), Sanyo (TYO: 6764), Mitsubishi, and BP Solar (NYSE: BP) cannot be invested in as pure solar plays, so I immediately dismiss them. I'm only after the pure plays here.
That leaves Motech (TAIWAN: 6244), SolarWorld (XETRA: SWV), and Suntech (NYSE: STP) if you want to play with the big boys. Schott is a special case that we'll get to in a minute.
Motech is a Taiwanese solar company that reported a record $348.5 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended June 2008, though net profit actually fell 31.9% to $2.78 million.
The company is engaged in the supply of high-quality, low-cost crystalline solar cells to Photovoltaic Industry and module manufacturers worldwide. They've signed major silicon agreements with Nitol (now partially owned by Suntech) and DC Chemical-two of the largest players in the silicon supply game.
If you trade internationally, keep an eye on them.
SolarWorld is a vertically integrated solar company based in Germany. They're involved in the entire process, from silicon production to module manufacturing. And, like Motech, they've also signed a silicon supply deal, worth $580 million, with DC Chemical.
SolarWorld has also built and opened their own silicon production plant.
But Suntech is my favorite play here. It's traded domestically, so everyone has access to it, and it's been performing beautifully. This is a company that reported a 61.6% increase in net profit from 2006 to 2007.
They boast highly efficient cells, operate across nearly all sectors of the market, and are properly position in China, the U.S., and Australia.
Coming soon, we'll have access to Schott Solar.

We've seen the pictures, we've heard the rumours but now Sam Worthington has finally broken his silence on his new relationship with Lara Bingle.
The Hollywood actor told Nova's Fitzy and Wippa this morning in an exclusive interview that he is "smitten" with the Aussie model.
"I'm very happy and I've met someone I'm very grateful for," he told the radio duo.
"She's down to Earth."
His words came after the pair pranked the Hollywood actor by asking him questions in which the only answers were "Lara" and "Bingle".
"At the moment I am blushing," he said after being tricked into saying her name - twice.
Worthington was in the studio to promote a book called 365 Gratefuls by local author Hailey Bartholomew after saying he found her book during a period where he felt "lost".
"I contacted Hayley and said let's get this book some exposure because this could really help other people who are maybe feeling a bit cloudy," he said.
Worthington's comments come after he shared a photo of he and Bingle on his Instagram account - his very first picture on the site.
The pair are believed to have met in New York in late September after being introduced by mutual friend Natalie Imbruglia.
Rumours of a romance between Bingle and Worthington had been rife in recent weeks and the loved-up pair have since been snapped running errands together in Sydney.
Worthington, best known for his role in the sci-fi flick Avatar, stepped off a flight from China last week and met Bingle, 26, who was waiting in her car in a side street.
The new couple then hit up a dry-cleaning store and cafe for fresh juice before hanging out together in the Sydney suburb of Bondi.
Prior to this, the pair attended the Cotton On Foundation's Global Citizen Concert headlined by Bono, Kings of Leon, Stevie Wonder and Alicia Keys at Central Park in New York.
Friends say the model and the Hollywood actor are keen to try to make their new relationship work.
"She's always beaming when she's around Sam, and he's smitten with her," a source close to Bingle told WHO magazine.
Worthington, 37, has most recently been linked with fellow Aussie Sophie Monk while Bingle ended her romance with Ksubi designer Gareth Moody earlier this year.
