Would Summers Be Any Worse than Bernanke?
As I have argued elsewhere, Bernanke's record as both a Fed governor and Chair suggest we be better off with a new Fed Chair come January 2010, when Bernanke's term as Chair expires. Outside of those who believe the bailouts have saved capitalism, two very reasonable arguments are put forth for keeping Bernanke at the helm: 1) in a time of crisis, the markets need certainty and dislike change; and 2) the alternatives, such as Larry Summers, would be worse. Both these points have real merit, however I believe in both cases the pros of change outweigh the cons of staying the course with Bernanke. I will save the "certainty" debate for another time, for now, let's ask ourselves: Would Summers really be any worse than Bernanke?
Before I make the case for Summers, I do want to make clear, President Obama, and the country, would best be served by a "Carter picks Volcker" type moment. Go outside the Administration, go beyond the usual circle of easy-money, new Keynesians. The Fed lacks creditability in two (at least two) important areas: bailouts and inflation. And one doesn't even need to go outside of the Federal Reserve System to find candidates. Topping my list would be Jeff Lacker (Richmond Fed), Gary Stern (Minn Fed) and Charles Plosser (Philly Fed). Any of these three know the workings of the Fed, have the respect of the Fed staff, and have taken strong positions on both "too big to fail" and easy money. In the case of Gary Stern, it would seem especially appropriate, as his early warnings (see his 2004 book on bank bailouts) were largely ignored and dismissed. If we want to reward and promote those who got it right, these guys are at the top of the list.
But let's reasonably suppose that Obama wants someone close, someone he personally knows and will stick with tradition by picking a member of his own administration. Without going into any detail, picking Romer would offer little substantial difference with keeping Bernanke. The case for Summers is essentially that here is one instance where his enormous ego would be an asset. One easily gets the sense that when Summers sits next to President Obama, Summers is thinking to himself just how lucky the President is to be sitting next to Larry Summers. One can call Summers lots of things, starstruck is not one of them. Given what we now need most in a Fed Chair is true independence, from especially the Administration but also from Congress, Summers is the only qualified economist close to the President who displays even the slightest streak of independent thinking. Bernanke, in contrast, has endlessly pandered to the Administration and to Congressional Democrats. Summers has been willing on occasion to actually defend the sanctity of contract (remember the debates over the AIG bonuses), a rarity on the Left, and more than Bernanke was willing to say.
So forced to choose between Bernanke and Summers, the need for an independent Fed Chair willing to take on the Administration and Congress, when appropriate, makes Summers a far better choice. That said, here's to encouraging Obama go outside his comfort zone and pick someone who has the will to remove excess liquidity from the system before the next bubble gets going.

Venture Capital, Public Information, and the Law of Unintended Consequences - learn more on managing venture capital investments.
If you follow the newspaper business pages, or take a business journal, in the last year you may have noticed stories on new revelations of the dark secrets of venture capital management. If you flipped past, dismissing this as part of the general media schadenfreude over the high technology let-down, it's time to listen up. What you don't know can hurt you, assuming you pay taxes.
Venture capital (VC) is considered a game for the sophisticated investor. The money that goes into a venture capital fund is raised from wealthy individuals, corporations, and financial institutions. Institutions come in two flavors. Private institutional investors are entities like insurance and annuity companies, diversified financial managers or corporate pension funds. Public institutions include the endowments of public universities, and the retirement trust funds for state and other governmental employees.
Generally, the annual and quarterly results and reports of venture funds are not a matter of public record. Unlike common mutual funds, the assets of a venture fund are not listed on any exchange, and there's no easy way to get a share value of the fund, or any of its private company investments. When fund returns have been disclosed, they are usually a combination of multiple funds in an institution's portfolio, or even combined with other types of assets.
Many public institutional investors are arguably subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). In the past year or so, newspapers and some others have attempted to gain access to the more detailed investment results and valuations of specific funds. These attempts include cases in Texas, California, and Massachusetts. Some of the public institutions targeted with these requests have settled, disclosing at least part of the results of their investments, for instance CalPERS, the California public employees retirement fund, and the investment arm of the University of Michigan. Some selection of these results has been published with great ado by the investigative reporters behind the requests, to at least mild interest by readers. So where's the problem? Surely the public interest is being served?
Or is it? Some of the requesters for venture information go beyond newspapers and others with an arguable interest in putting the informatiion in the public record. For instance, one frequent FOIA flyer is a California resident, Mark O'Hare. What interest does a private individual have in sueing for this information? He is using it to create a private, for profit data bank. While there are existing databases of venture capital information, these are based on the voluntary release of information by funds and invested companies.
CalPERS' online report... through September 2002, shows Arrowpath drew $825,000 from CalPERS and its investments [are] still worth $723,318. The difference is mostly the fees that went to Arrowpath managers since 2001. That's a little over $100,000.
Heinous, eh? 15% of the capital squandered on managers in one year. But take a lookat the actual CalPERS commitment to this fund. That's a matter of $5,000,000. Management fees are based on committed capital, not on the capital drawn to date (the $825,000). And 2% (on the low end of management fees) of $5,000,000 is... $100,000. This is a reporter who either does not understand how funds work, or is being disingenous to sensationalize the story.
The actual evaluation of venture returns takes a bit more sophisticated analysis than that. This is a very modest introduction to the topic. If you looked at the CalPERS and U of M results, one thing will jump out at you: The investment returns (IRRs) are all over the place. If watching your NASDAQ portfolio gives you alternate adrenalin highs and heartburn, you don't want to be investing in venture. From year to year (vintage), and between funds, and through the history of each fund, there's very high degree of variance in results. The up years of the Internet bubble, and the downs of the bust, have added a stronger cyclic element to that variance in the last decade, but VC has always been volatile and it always will be.
By definition, there is no ready market for the shares of the private companies in which venture funds invest. We hang onto them until the wished-for liquidity event (exit) of going public, or being bought out by another company. Setting a value on these assets in the meantime is more an art than a science, but you can be assured that the valuations are both related to the NASDAQ averages and even more volatile. The investors' shares in the fund itself are likewise illiquid. If they are saleable at all, it will be at a deep discount to another qualfiied investor. Once you are in a fund, all you can do is grit your teeth and hope it's one of the funds and vintage years that win.
Brand new startup companies are by definition risky, and some fraction of investments in them will turn out to be bad choices. The wise fund manager will kill and write off the bad ones as soon as the trouble is apparent. Meanwhile, the good companies take time to build their products, reach their markets, grow, and exit at a profit. Management fees, the largest part of the overhead costs of a fund, are charged evenly through its life based on its total size (committed capital), so that expense is also front loaded compared to the eventual profits as good investments mature. So not only do you get to grit your teeth, you're on a roller coaster ride that almost always starts out with a swoop toward the ground.
Why do public institutions invest in venture capital funds, if it's such a dodgy business? Simple: Over the long run, averaged over multiple funds and vintage years, venture capital has a higher rate of return than most other asset classes. This higher average return is the market's quid pro quo for the investors' acceptance of the drastic ups and downs in this high variance asset class. A prudent manager of a long term portfolio such as a pension fund or endowment won't put a high percentage of their value into venture capital, because the valuation and returns are too volatile year to year, and the asset is illiquid. But a good manager will have some fraction, often 10 - 15%, spread among multiple VC funds to enhance the long term return on their assets. They may drink their Maalox during the down years, but the institutional managers can console themselves that time and the law of averages are on their side.
A good investor in venture capital funds should understand this proposition and be ready to withstand bad years in order to participate in the good ones. As a negative example, corporate investors are notorious for their inability to invest through the whole cycle. They tend to enter the VC markets when they are already bouyant. Since dropping valuations and low returns can make things too hot politically for their in-house management sponsors, they often drop out at the bottom of a market, either ceasing investment or liquidating their portfolio entirely. This makes the average corporate less desirable as an investor to fund managers, and pretty much guarantees that they miss the rewards of market upturns, which are supposed to be their compensation for being in a volatile asset.
The next unintended consequence is that public entities will have more trouble placing their money into venture capital funds. Venture capital management firms prize investors who are loyal when times are bad. They dislike investors who create extra burdens of reporting and entanglements with regulation and politics. Compared to private institutional investors, public entities will become a denigrated class. This is not speculation. Managers from firms such as Crescendo, Storm Ventures, Charles River and Sequoia have publicly stated that they will be less likely to take money from public entities, or will avoid them entirely. Sequoia has carried through on its statement, evicting the University of Michigan. The upshot is that public entities will end up in funds whose managers have had lower performance in the past, since these funds have less choice in investors. Another bias toward lower performance.
This is not the end of it. Some of the information requests to public entities have gone beyond quarterly total return numbers. For instance, the San Jose Mercury News also pushed to receive the specific valuations set on private companies by each fund in the CalPERS portfolio. This is anathema to venture fund managers. It is considered valuable proprietary information of both the fund and the invested company. Exposure of valuations can drastically affect the ability of a company to negotiate for further financing. Disclosure that its funders have written down the value since investing can weaken a company in the eyes of both new investors and prospective customers. Disclosure of a high valuation can also botch a deal, by indicating that a mutual agreement on investment terms is unlikely. For the infant start-up company, stealth as well as speed are often the only weapons against incumbent competitors.
A venture fund subject to this type of reporting will become the victim of understandable discrimination by entrepreneurs. The start-up executive with a good track record, who has a choice of investors, is not going to accept exposure to this risk and will simply avoid such funds. Since fund managers cannot accept the downward bias on performance this implies, at this point public entities will be kicked out of the venture asset class entirely. They then lose access to the greater returns over time that have been provided to their overall portfolios.
And the final unintended consequence is the loss of the portfolio yield that it was in the 'public interest' to protect against undue influence in the first place. The first order losers? The retirees, students and universities that are the beneficiaries of the public entity portfolios.


Bitcoin price broke the USD 3,400 support area and moved further in the red zone.
Ethereum and ripple broke many supports and declined around 4%.
BNB and FCT declined close to 10% today.
Bitcoin remained in a bearish zone in the past few sessions and declined below the USD 3,450 and USD 3,400 support levels. BTC/USD is clearly trading in a downtrend and it may continue to bleed in the near term. The next key support is at USD 3,250, where buyers are likely to take a stand. Similarly, ethereum declined heavily and settled below the USD 110 support. If ETH/USD breaks the USD 100 support, there could be nasty losses in the coming session. Finally, ripple price settled below USD 0.300 and it seems like it may trade towards the USD 0.275 level.
There was a downside extension below the USD 3,450 support in bitcoin price . BTC/USD even broke the USD 3,400 support and traded close to the USD 3,350 support. The price is down more than 2% (UTC 08:20 AM) and it seems like there could be more losses below USD 3,350 and USD 3,320 in the near term.
On the upside, there are many hurdles for buyers near the USD 3,420 and USD 3,450 levels. Having said that, a successful close above the USD 3,500 level is must for buyers to push bitcoin back in a positive zone.
Ethereum price settled below the USD 110 and 108 support levels. ETH/USD traded close to the USD 100 support and it is currently consolidating losses.
If there is a proper break and close below USD 100, the price may decline sharply towards the USD 95 or 92 support level. On the upside, an initial resistance is near the USD 108 level, followed by USD 110.
Bitcoin cash price failed to hold the USD 112 and 110 supports. BCH/USD declined sharply and tested the USD 105 support. The price is currently trading in a range, but there is a risk of more losses towards USD 100 or USD 95.
EOS tumbled below the USD 2.40 support. Sellers pushed the price below the USD 2.30 and USD 2.20 support levels. The next stop for sellers could be USD 2.12, followed by USD 2.05.
Ripple price is down more than 4% and it broke the USD 0.290 support level. XRP/USD tested the USD 0.280 support and it is currently consolidating losses. It seems like sellers are eyeing further losses below the USD 0.280 and USD 0.275 levels in the near term.
During the past few hours, many small cap altcoins declined and posted losses more than 8%, including BNB, FCT, DGD, KMD, NPXS, ZIL, POLY, IOST, XLM, XTZ and XEM. Out of these, BNB and FCT are down close to 10%.
Overall, there are many bearish signs on bitcoin charts, suggesting more losses below the USD 3,400 support. If BTC/USD continues to bleed, there are chances of a sharp decline towards the USD 3,250 or 3,160 support level. Similarly, ethereum may perhaps break the USD 100 and USD 95 support levels.

ABOUT R&B
The art of printing
Journal / Vintage contemporary / Design / Corrado Musmeci
Interview with Corrado Musmeci
Corrado Musmeci's print heritage is so rich, he can be heard to say that ink is in his blood. Fontegrafica was founded by his grandfather in the 1950s and ran by his father for several years before Corrado took the helm. The company is renowned for it's high quality artisan printing and limited edition products. What makes them stand out is the way they utilise historical techniques, modern thinking and innovation to create exceptional products. Corrado told us more about the heritage of the firm and how he is evolving things to forge a new place in the cultural world for the firm.
Can you tell us a little bit about the history of the firm?
After the war, communication became of increased importance so there was a feeling at this time that print was valuable. My grandfather was originally a 1st division football player and then became a football journalist. He had the idea to start a magazine about football with friends and that was how this all began. We still have a rich heritage in football and print all the materials for the first division in Italy to this day.
How did things evolve from there?
In 1975 my grandfather passed away and my father began to manage the company but it was still very small. My grandfather said to my father "I spent my life making paper dirty, instead you will have to print it" By this he meant to make more of an art of printing. Everything became about making work of a very high quality. My father invested in quality machines and people who knew how to use them to create the very best things. In the early 2000s we won the most important award in printing the "Sappi Printer of the Year". Sappi were the biggest paper merchants and it was a global contest so this was a very big deal for us. In 2009 my father even became a judge as we had won so often they wanted to involve him in a new way. Sadly since the financial crash printing has changed and the award no longer exists but it was very prestigious to win this.
What was your personal introduction to the world of printing?
As I often say, I have ink in my blood. I grew up following my father to work and used to come and play with ink and palettes of paper. I was in front of the press from when I was six years old. When I was 12 or 13 I started to print and work at the press during the summer and also to travel with him. Around the age of 18 or 19 I spent two summers in Chicago on an internship at a print firm. That was a turning point for me, I was by myself but in a field I knew and learning a lot. The firm produced high quality work but when my father sent work and I shared it with them they said our work was art. This made me proud and showed me the value of what we created and I knew my fortune is to make art.
How did you come to be in charge?
Sadly my Father passed away at 28, but he left me a wonderful legacy. I find strength every day and every time I show products because everyone is happy and everyone is inspired. No matter what someone's understanding of print they can enjoy our work. I feel so lucky to produce such beautiful objects.
Are there any projects which stand out for you?
There are many but I have three which are very special to me. The first is the books I produce with American photographer Gregory Colbert. He has an amazing philosophy and loves to produce crazy books with supernatural paper. Cover is paper made in Nepal it's an unusual paper made which is waxed with elephant poo. The colours are very vivid. Everyone loves these books and they go crazy realising we produce it. The next is a book featuring amazing photos of Milano which was commissioned by an Australian photographer. We made 100 copies which were all sewn by hand in a very special way.
The final one is a book I produced for Sheikh Zayed for the Grand Mosuq in Abu Dhabi. This is the most important mosque in the world. It's a huge book and every page is different and it contains many amazing techniques from laser engraving to embossing. We made around 300 and they cost about 2-3000 euros each to produce. There are no other books of this level in the world.
You specialise in limited editions, what is a typical print run for you?
I usually make runs of around 300, 500 or 1,000, but in fashion we create multiples of 20, 30 or 40,000. For me the most interesting thing is that every product is unique.
Do you have any favorite processes?
There's nothing I love in particular, for me it all has to do with what is the best method for each product. I do not push a technique because printing techniques create emotions I sue the best ones to evoke the feeling that is required. That said I enjoy experimentation and I'm excited to work with 3D techniques and with cardboard and laser-cutting. I love engraving even on wood and metal, we're currently using lasers to carves into 1cm thick card to create a book cover, the results are beautiful. The technique always follows what the product needs to be though. It seems like you are always evolving how you work, what are you most excited to do next? I've started a new part of the company called F.0. The idea is that the company takes us back tothe future to inform new ways of working. I have created an atelier which focuses on an old lithographic press used in 1970s for printing tests. This machine is perfect for limited edition products and is a tool in the atelier for people's inspiration. I wanted to explain to the market how we can begin to work in new ways. Printing today is a commodity, but my company is taking its work in the direction of graphic arts. The printed product has many details and it's my role to help art directors and designers understand what tools are available for them to create great work. This is the artistic part of my job, we come from the graphic arts world. Nowadays I don't like to speak about quality, quality is nothing, it means they do normal things. I want to push us to working more within the cultural field. We're more than quality we represent the bigger culture of creation. We're hosting courses so people can experience the atelier and what they can learn. I'll host courses so people can learn how use the machine and understand the process of creation in a more in depth way. We have many people excited about this and at least 60 or 70 waiting to take part.
Would you say innovation or tradition is more important to you?
These days, I do the atelier so people can experiment with the lithographic machine. Photographers will come here, change colours to see how their work is coming together. We have always prized experimentation. However, we are not inventing but using things in a new way. It's not like I am inventing a new medicine but I find new solutions with old things. Our generation does this, we have a past but we have to find new solutions but to respect and use things from the past, we must value this because to lose it would be stupid.
Do you think this is typical or your mindset?
I'm someone that is always trying to find solutions, I do that every single day. Finding solutions means suffering, having difficulties but there is always a solution and therefore a release. My mind always approaches things this way. Life is made of hard things and suffering, we are made to find solutions. We shouldn't wait for challenges to find us, we have to be active to do this. I find many problems every day but also I try to be positive in my approach so we can find a way through.
What is a current challenge for you?
I'm working on a pop up product, It features mechanisms from a watch which separate into layers. It's kind of crazy, we work to find the little solutions, I have not solved this one yet but I am more positive. We will be able to solve our trouble with real experimentation and make sure our customers are happy.
How do you think your Father and Grandfather would feel about the company today?
People talk about my Father as someone that was an enthusiast, passionate about his work and a strong worker. I hope they would be happy to see I'm putting the same energy in.
What else is next for you?
We have good plans for the future, starting with the book fair in Frankfurt I'm going there with the best binder in Italy and it's a very exciting moment for us. We want to showcase the possibilities for creating beautiful limited edition products and we're curious to see the reaction. Everything is aligned to this next step, it's the most important book fair in the world. Then in January I am hosting a 1 month show at Italy's foremost design museum – Triennale. With that our focus is to explain that printing is an integral part of the of process of design not just how it is executed. Art is print and print is art.

Beauty InfoBecause the air-brushed "beauties" in ads looked nothing like what she saw in the mirror – she was sure she was not a beauty.
So, she started working hard to look her best… Spending hours in front of the mirror searching for the beauty she wanted so badly to see.
And sometimes she did feel pretty… But more often, all she could see were her flaws… And certain that was all anyone could see… She felt ugly.
But she took it for granted, thinking things would stay this way forever… Until sometime in her late 20's or early 30's – when time finally caught up with her.Because right up to that moment – aging – or "getting old" – was something that happened to other people… Not to me!
Because for a while there, I felt old every time I looked in the mirror… And to be honest – I even considered plastic surgery (for the first time).After years of wading through thousands of dollars in disappointing "anti-aging" potions… wasting countless hours searching for something real.
And I believe that with all the solutions out there today, every woman can find one that's perfect for her too… if she knows how.
The biggest anti-aging LIE in the cosmetics industry – this may be taking money out of your pocket right now.
The 3 biological problems that make our skin "look old" (ignore these and they only get worse) .
The #1 way to spot fake anti-aging cosmetics and the 4 traits ALL quality anti-aging solutions share.
My hope is that, even if you choose NOT to use my exact routine – you'll be able to use what you learn here to wade through the anti-aging hype.
There's nothing wrong with that, but all that money has attracted cosmetic con artists who prey on our insecurities to sell us stuff that doesn't work.
That's why we're never satisfied with our results – because they've got us focused on the wrong things… So, we keep on buying more of their bogus cosmetics in search of "the one" that works.
That's because "moisturizer" doesn't address the real cause of wrinkles like today's science-based solutions.
And while we're on the topic – the very fact that anti-aging products are so focused on wrinkles is a misdirection.
I think it's because we lean in and focus on our faces in the mirror… so we study and memorize those wrinkles up close and personal.
And as for those wrinkles – plastic surgeons say those wrinkles we hate so much… They only make up about 18% of what others see when we're talking to them.
Turns out grandma was right when she said, "Whatever you do up here" gesturing to her face… "You've got to do down here" gesturing to her neck and neckline.
Now you can verify all of this for yourself, but here's what I discovered in my research… These 3 "old skin" issues are all caused by biological changes that occur as we age.


Liberal bias is partisan selection or distortion of information to support liberal policies. This bias can be expressed by professors and public school teachers, College Board exams, reporters and other journalists in mainstream media, and any other information source. Typically purveyors of liberal bias falsely present themselves as being objective. Liberal bias includes techniques such as distorted selection of information, placement bias, photo bias and liberal style. There is a difference between being liberal, having a liberal perspective, and having a liberal bias.
Economist Thomas Sowell in his book published in 1996, The Vision of the Anointed, discusses the anointed vision of liberals and liberalism to promote their agenda.
In March 2010, liberal evolutionary magazine the National Geographic, postulated that liberals and atheists may be more evolved than conservatives, according to conclusions by Satoshi Kanazawa, an evolutionary psychologist. Kanazawa states "people with higher levels of intelligence are more likely to adopt social values and behaviors that are relatively new to human life—liberalism, atheism, staying up late, and (for men) monogamy, for example." Kanazawa also defines liberalism, in part, as caring about the well-being of vast numbers of people you'll never meet, and states that this "is a very new thing for humans."
In a response to the National Geographic pretensions, James Lewis in the American Thinker notes that the vast majority of "educated people before the 20th century in Western countries were conservatives", but that "IQ doesn't predict street smarts or (obviously) political success on Capitol Hill".
The famous Bible commentator, Matthew Henry adds, "As a profession of wisdom is an aggravation of folly, so a proud conceit of wisdom is the cause of a great deal of folly."
A 2005 report by Tim Groseclose and Jeffrey Milyo political scientists at UCLA concluded that, based on estimated ideological scores, all of the news outlets they examined, except Fox News' Special Report and the Washington Times, showed a strong liberal bias (scores to the left of the average member of Congress). Of the 20 major media outlets studied, 18 scored left of center, with CBS' "Evening News," The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times ranking second, third and fourth most liberal behind the news pages of The Wall Street Journal. Only Fox News' "Special Report With Brit Hume" and The Washington Times scored right of the average U.S. voter.
Talk to any Fox News hating-liberal and you'll here the same old regurgitated talking point- Fox is not Fair & Balanced. One network, Fox News has twice the number of opposing commentators than does all media sources combined. If you add up the major media properties; ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, PBS, New York Times, Washington Post, and Newsweek -- you get a total of five so-called conservatives personalities among hundreds of liberals. At the least, Fox News employees the following liberals.
Likewise, Che Guevara, once labelled "Castro's brain," and who swore by Stalin and once boasted "I am all the contrary of a Christ (and who was an early role model for Christopher Hitchens, ) "stated, "A foreign reporter -- preferably American -- was much more valuable to us at that time (1957) than any military victory. Much more valuable than rural recruits for our guerrilla force, were American media recruits to export our propaganda."
Herbert Matthews, of the New York Times reported, (July 1959) "This is not a Communist Revolution in any sense of the term. Fidel Castro is not only not a Communist, he is decidedly anti-Communist."
The Vietnam War, in which America was the victor in military battles, is perhaps the most manifest modern example of how propaganda affected the outcome of a war, with much of the mainstream media being an all too willing instrument of such, especially CBS News with Walter Cronkite.
The Tet Offensive was portrayed by the New York liberal media as a defeat for the U.S., while in fact, it was an almost disastrous defeat for the North Vietnamese, as General Westmoreland and historians agree. The Viet Cong not only lost half of the 90,000 troops they had committed to battle, but it was virtually destroyed as an army.
For the first time in modern history, the outcome of a war was determined not on the battlefield but on the printed page and television screens - never before Vietnam had the collective policy of the media sought, by graphic and unremitting distortion, the victory of the enemies of the correspondents own side..
What prompted us to make our readers believe that the Communists, once in power in all of Viet Nam, would behave benignly? What made us, first and foremost Anthony Lewis, belittle warnings by U.S. officials that a Communist victory would result in a massacre?... Are we journalists not in part responsible for the death of the tens of thousands who drowned? And are we not in part responsible for the hostile reception accorded to those who survive?...However, the media have been rather coy; they have not declared that they played a key role in the conflict. They have not proudly trumpeted Hanoi's repeated expressions of gratitude to the mass media of the non-Communist world, although Hanoi has indeed affirmed that it could not have won "without the Western press."
CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite regularly carried news reports from its Moscow Bureau Chief, Bernard Redmont. When peace negotiations commenced with North Vietnam in Paris, Redmont became CBS News Paris Bureau Chief. What Redmont never reported during the ten year conflict was, Redmont had been a KGB operative since the 1930s, and member of the notorious Silvermaster group.  Redmont was the only journalist to whom his fellow Comintern party member, and North Vietnamese chief negotiator, Mai Van Bo, granted an interview to bring the Communist point of view into American living rooms in what has been called, "the living room war."
The single most explicit example of such biased reporting is typically seen to be the portrayal of the TET offensive, in which western media was charged with inspiring and aiding the propaganda war of the communists.
In addition to Cronkite's biased reporting, FBI documents, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act by Yahoo news, evidence that legendary CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite collaborated with anti-Vietnam War activists in the 1960s, going so far as to offer advice on how to raise the public profile of protests and even promising that CBS News would rent a helicopter to take liberal Senator Edmund Muskie to and from the site of an anti-war rally.
During the Vietnam War, the Soviet Union was the principal ally of Communist North Vietnam, providing weapons and training in what was a major conflict of the Cold War that took 58,000 American lives. CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite regularly carried news reports from its Moscow Bureau Chief, Bernard Redmont. When peace negotiations commenced with North Vietnam in Paris, Redmont became CBS News Paris Bureau Chief. What Redmont never reported during the ten year conflict was, Redmont had been a KGB operative since the 1930s, and member of the notorious Silvermaster group.  Redmont was the only journalist to whom his fellow Comintern party member, and North Vietnamese chief negotiator, Mai Van Bo, granted an interview to bring the Communist point of view into American living rooms in what has been called, "the living room war."
The selective and editorial reporting of the Vietnam war is often cited as a manifest example of liberal bias in the mainstream media, with Hanoi reportedly affirming that it could not have won "without the Western press."
The mainstream media including the LA Times had been guilty of being silent regarding the John Edwards affair that the National Enquirer had broke in October 2007. The Enquirer followed up with a publication in December of 2007. Then in July 2008, the Enquirer had confronted Edwards at the Beverly Hilton hotel after he spent the entire day with his mistress. After Edwards admitted the affair on Friday August 8th, the mainstream media finally reported the scandal, including the LA Times. In an article titled "Mainstream media finally pounce on Edwards' affair", the LA Times declared that they had been pursuing the story prior to Friday.  But they gave no excuse for hiding this from the American public. They have showed their true liberal bias by not reporting the story earlier. Then making an attempt to further fool the public by saying they were pursuing the story, when in fact 10 months had lapsed. Plus, nowhere in the article does it mention the Edwards is a Democrat. To the credit of the LA Times, they do mention that Democratic party strategists say Edwards needs to address the story, at the very bottom of the article. Protection of fellow liberal Democrats by the LA Times is more important than being a honest news organization.
Peter D. Feaver of the Boston Globe noted on the sixth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that MoveOn.org ran a full-page advertisement in the New York Times accusing General David Petraeus of activities befitting a traitor. The advertisement alleges, without evidence, that Petraeus would not give an honest, professional assessment of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Feaver noted, "The MoveOn.org ad is vicious ... a deliberate attack on the senior Army commander, in a major daily newspaper, with the intention of destroying as much of his credibility as possible...part of an elaborate effort to undermine public support for the Iraq war, and was foreshadowed by an unnamed Democratic senator who told a reporter, "No one wants to call [Petraeus] a liar on national TV . . . The expectation is that the outside groups will do this for us." The effort is funded by powerful special interests, and has all the trappings of a major political campaign. Within a day it was discovered the New York Times gave MoveOn.org a "hefty discount" for its ad questioning Petraeus' integrity. According to the director of public relations for the New York Times, "the open rate for an ad of that size and type is $181,692." A spokesman for MoveOn.org confirmed that the liberal activist group paid only $65,000 for the ad - a reduction of more than $116,000 from the stated rate. In July, 2008, the New York Times rejected an opinion piece written by John McCain, which was responding to earlier piece written by Barack Obama. This came after the New York Times had previously published at least seven op-ed pieces by McCain since 1996, and endorsed him in the 2008 Republican Presidential primaries. The reason the New York Times cited for the July 2008 rejection was that they were asking the McCain campaign to provide a more substantive piece which would contrast his positions with the details of the Obama piece on a point-by-point basis.
In addition, on Nov. 13, 2006 Newsweek featured an article by atheist Sam Harris, who sees Christianity as "incompatible with genuine morality", based upon his own objectively baseless and mutable moral authority.
As noted by Don Feder in response to a Newsweek article titled, "America's God Complex – Like George W. Bush, The Religious Right Is At The Crossroads" Newsweek advocates a faith that does not take moral stands or become involved in changing moral policy.
The taxpayer-funded Public Broadcasting Service has become a left-leaning channel for the liberal viewpoint. This despite the 1985 rule that all PBS shows must be "noncommercial, nonpartisan and nonsectarian." Their tax-subsidized programming includes celebrating lesbian-feminist choirs, "transgender" riots, and a liberal teenager fighting against abstinence education. As part of its wave of secular fundamentalism, PBS celebrates even late-term abortionists with a fanaticism. The PBS show NOW was devoted to smearing the pro-life movement as terrorists  In a fake display of following the rules, 300-plus PBS stations have been instructed to avoid any kind of religious programming.
PZ Myers, professor and blogger.
Many conservative and a few liberal commentators have remarked on the seeming extraordinary favor shown toward Barack Obama during his candidacy, and presidency. A 2008 comprehensive analysis conducted by the Media Research Center of every evening news report by the NBC, ABC and CBS television networks, showed that positive stories about Obama since he came to national prominence outnumbered negative stories 7 to 1. During the Presidents candidacy, MSNBC Hardball host Chris Matthews stated, "Yeah, well, you know what? I want to do everything I can to make this thing work, this new presidency work,..."
In November 2008, Mark Halperin of Time and ABC News criticized the media coverage of the 2008 presidential race, stating, "It's the most disgusting failure of people in our business since the Iraq war." "It was extreme bias, extreme pro-Obama coverage."
Education in America, especially at its higher levels, is typically seen by conservatives as promoting liberalism and helping to promote moral decline. A most egregious example is the continued use of A People's History of the United States, by Howard Zinn, which is a radical left-wing revision of history. Zinn explicitly stated that "objectivity is impossible and it is also undesirable", as he advocated and practiced making the writing of history a polemic for change.
Liberals are evidenced to make up a disproportionate amount of college faculty. A (disputed) study showed that 50% of American college faculty identified themselves as Democrats and only 11% as Republicans (with 33% being Independent, and 5% identifying themselves with another party). 72% described themselves as "to the left of center," including 18% who were strongly left. Only 15% described themselves as right of center, including only 3% who were "strongly right."  When they are in the faculty they then discriminate against the hiring of conservative professors.
Research on the political leanings of their university professors by members of The George Washington University Chapter of Young America's Foundation (GWYAF) found substantial liberal bias in the academy. The school's faculty gave 92 percent of their political donations ($221,490) to Democratic candidates versus only 8 percent ($20,500) to Republicans in the 2008 primary election. Consistent with this, in the presidential election the ratio was 91 percent to 9 percent.
Textbooks used in schools of all ages have also been exposed as promoting a decidedly liberal bias against the nation of Israel. A landmark book called The Trouble with Textbooks, by Dr. Gary A. Tobin and Dennis R. Ybarra described results of a comprehensive study they conducted of the 28 most widely used Social Studies textbooks in the United States. The researchers found that U.S. textbooks often contain "repeated misrepresentations that cross the line into bigotry." Examples included Jesus being called a Palestinian, Islam being "treated with a devotional tone in some textbooks, less detached and analytical than it ought to be. Muslim beliefs are described in several instances as fact, without any clear qualifier such as Muslims believe...' The Islamic empire of the Middle Ages was presented as "a time of unqualified glory without blemishes", while various aspects of the wars of Arab states against Israel were misrepresented.
One textbook publisher, Teachers Curriculum Institute, has agreed to rewrite its unit on the Middle East after being challenged, and consulting many scholars. The San Fransisco-based Jewish Community Relations Council found that the textbooks were so filled with inaccuracies and biased that they should not be used.
Professor, Larry Schweikart notes that most textbooks tend to come from New York, Boston, Washington and Philadelphia, all liberal bastions. As concerns American history, Schweikart sees the "Reagan test" as a consistent indicator of whether a book is politically slanted. The majority of books he has examined credit former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev with ending the Cold War, while marginalizing Reagan.
In June 2009, Republicans in the House of Representatives have created the Media Caucus to fight the Democrat-aligned media propaganda.
I have felt that we have to actually say, 'We have a point of view about something and we feel strongly about it, we just have to be assertive about it and say it positively.'"
Note the convoluted logic which assumes that any criticism of the behavior of members of a group must be due to "bigotry", which is itself a bigoted attack on the critics designed to prevent any consideration of the principles or facts supporting their arguments.
"The reason the Times, and to a lesser extent the Post, are so important, and they are, is because the TV and radio - all of the media - copy it sycophantically," he [John Stossel] said. "That's how bias at the Times becomes bias in other media."

On July 12, 2017, Mr. Mohammad Salem Wahdat, Consul General of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to Canada, paid a courtesy call on Mr. Anil Bora Inan, Consul General of Turkey to British Columbia, Canada.
On this occasion, they exchanged views on the political and economic situation in Afghanistan, relations between Afghanistan and Turkey. The nations of the two countries have abundant historical, religious and cultural commonalities, and this is the demand of time to strengthen and expand cooperation between the two countries in different areas.
Finally, both sides discussed the political, economic, and security issues of Afghanistan and the region as well as continuation and expansion of relations between the two countries.

Manny Pacquiao vs Adrien Broner: Odds and Preview

Manny Pacquiao fights Adrien Broner on January 19th at the MGM Grand Garden Arena
Pacquiao holds the regular WBA title and will enter the ring as the clear favorite
But is there value in picking the 40-year-old Filipino at such short odds?
Manny Pacquiao will take on Adrien Broner on January 19th at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Filipino future hall-of-famer now holds the regular WBA welterweight title, and he puts it on the line against one of the biggest personalities in the sport.
This isn't the best fight available in the welterweight division, but it is one of the most lucrative. A lot is on the line. Both fighters are looking to revitalize their careers, and another loss for either could mark the beginning of the end.
Manny Pacquiao vs Adrien Broner Odds
Fighter Odds to Win at Bovada (01/11/19)
Manny Pacquiao -300
Adrien Broner +230
All odds are available at Bovada.
Recent Fight Record
After losing his WBO welterweight title in a shocking upset to Jeff Horn, Manny Pacquiao bounced back by defeating Lucas Matthysse in devastating fashion. He dominated the Argentinian slugger for six rounds before knocking him out in the seventh, securing his first stoppage in almost a decade.
But the win isn't as impressive as some claim. Matthysse was already on the verge of retirement and took the fight simply for a career payday. He hung up his gloves a couple of weeks after the loss. Pacquiao ran through a boxer who had little left to give and was already on his way out. Also, the fight was held in Malaysia where testing is virtually nonexistent.
Adrien Broner is only 29, but it already seems his best years may be behind him. His humiliating loss to Marcos Maidana in 2013 started his downward spiral, and he's lost every significant fight since. He was humbled by Shawn Porter when he returned to welterweight, and Mikey Garcia made easy work of him in 2017.
His most recent fight resulted in a draw against Jessie Vargas. Vargas dominated the earlier rounds but eventually ran out of steam, allowing Broner to pick off the later rounds. It wasn't a bad performance by Broner, but it doesn't compare favorably to Pacquiao vs Vargas, where Pacquiao cruised to a decision victory.
Manny Pacquiao FIGHTER Adrien Broner
60-7-2 RECORD 33-3-1 (1 NC)
39 KNOCKOUTS 24
5 ft 5.5 in HEIGHT 5 ft 6.5 in
67 in REACH 69.5 in
40 AGE 29
The Stylistic Match-up
This is an interesting style match-up.
Pacquiao is a relentless pressure fighter. He swarms his opponents with volume and speed, constantly moving forward and taking the fight to his opponent. It's not a style that ages well, though. The 40-year-old Pacquiao isn't able to move like he used to, but he's still able to hold his own against most of the welterweight division.
Broner is known for fighting on the back foot and has been criticized for his low work rate. He can be overly cautious with his punch selection, which often results in dropped rounds due to inactivity. However, when he's able to find his rhythm and read his opponent, he's one of the most dangerous guys in the game.
We've seen variations of this match-up before. Broner, who has long modeled himself after Mayweather, already has a template for success. If he can hold Pacquiao on the outside and pick him off when he tries to close the distance, then the fight is his. Pacquiao will try to swarm Broner and out-punch and out-work him.
Pick: Adrien Broner (+230)
There's no value in picking Pacquiao at -300. His win over Lucas Matthysse is hardly that impressive, and his loss to Jeff Horn shows just how much he's deteriorated over the last few years. Siding with Broner is never a comfortable feeling because you never know how focused and committed he is, but it seems he understands that a few more losses would spell the end of his career.

SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD and Sandisk Extreme microSD Cards Are Perfect for Today's Digital Creators
As our data consumption and capturing habits shift, there's a growing need for reliable storage solutions in the new normal. From a powerful rugged external SSD to a highly reliable microSD card, SanDisk makes them all. The company has been in the storage business for a while now, and makes powerful and highly useful storage products that are ideal for digital creators and professionals these days.
Today, we'll take a look at two of the most useful new products from SanDisk:
What is an SSD?
A solid-state drive is a storage device that's quite different from the traditional hard drives, both in design as well as operation. An SSD relies on flash-based memory while traditional hard drives used a mechanical setup. More people are now switching to SSDs to get things done in a faster, more efficient manner.
SSDs are much more powerful. They're faster, and they end up consuming less battery power on laptops while still being extremely light, making laptops thinner and much lighter. SSDs don't have any moving parts, which makes them more reliable while improving overall efficiency.
Why you should upgrade to an SSD?
If you use a traditional portable SSD, you'll notice a massive bump in performance by switching to a portable SSD. Modern portable SSDs from Sandisk are lighter, more efficient, and more durable than conventional hard drives. They're also much faster, thanks to NVMe technology, and more cost-effective in the long run.
SSDs have also become cost-effective and much more affordable over the years, making the transition from a traditional hard drive to an SSD more accessible to the masses. SSDs are now being used widely in the enterprise, gaming, and mobility fields. An external SSD is highly recommended for professionals, digital content creators, and modern workers.
The SanDisk brand
SanDisk has been in the storage business for a long time now. The company is known for offering high-performance storage products that are faster, more reliable, and offer a great value for your money. The global company is a leader in storage products that promise superior performance. Professionals and enterprises all over the world rely on SanDisk's storage products for both work and play.
The new SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD is a portable SSD that is powered by the company's in-house NVMe technology. It promises faster transfer speeds of up to 1050MB/s, enabling users to move, access, and edit their files while on the move. The hard drive is enclosed in a rugged IP55-rated packaging that's designed to withstand both dust and water, making it possible to carry the SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD just about anywhere.
Sandisk Extreme Pro SSD is ultra-lightweight and can be easily carried in a pocket. It's compatible with PCs, Macs, and most mobile phones that support OTG over USB Type-C. The rugged design consists of forged aluminium which protects the SSD while helps manage heat dissipation as well.
In terms of performance, the SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD relies on the USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 protocol which is faster than the standard USB 3.0 interface. The external hard drive is available in capacities of up to 2TB, and comes with a downloadable SanDisk SecureAccess app that brings 256-bit AES encryption. SanDisk offers a 5-year warranty with the Sandisk Extreme Pro SSD. The SSD also comes with a USB Type-C and a USB Type-A cable.
Prices of the SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD start at around Rs. 10,300 in India for the 500GB variant and go up to Rs. 32,199 for the 2TB variant. If you're eyeing an ideal portable SSD that can help you get more done in less amount of time, you should check out the SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD.
What are microSD cards?
microSD cards have become highly popular over the last decade. They're one of the most common and cost-effective ways to add storage to a mobile device. They're faster, cheaper, and more reliable than ever. If you use a smartphone these days, chances are you're already using a microSD card. From music to photos, and now even 4K videos, mobile phone users rely on microSD cards to expand the total storage on their devices. That's not all, digital cameras and even drones now use microSD cards due to their compact nature.
Why speed matters on microSD cards?
Given how busy our lives have become, it's becoming even more important to ensure nothing can slow you down. A microSD card that's slow can slow down your mobile device, lowering your overall experience, and possibly hampering your essential activities.
There's a growing need amongst mobile users to use faster microSD cards so that they're able to quickly transfer and access files to and from their mobile devices. The amount of multimedia content we're consuming on a daily basis continues to grow, and thus the need to use a faster microSD card.
SanDisk's Extreme microSD cards promise read speeds of up to 160MB/s to help you save time while transferring larger files. For faster continuous shots on a digital camera, the Sandisk Extreme microSD cards support up to 90MB/s write speeds. The UHS Speed Class 3 enables 4K UHD and full-HD compatibility. These microSD cards are rated A2, which helps in faster app load times and overall app performance on a mobile device.
The Sandisk Extreme microSD cards are designed to withstand extreme temperatures and are waterproof, shockproof, and x-ray proof. With SanDisk's MobileMate microSD card readers, these microSD cards can offer transfer speeds of up to 160MB/s.
If you use an Android smartphone or an action camera, or even a drone, the SanDisk Extreme microSD cards are ideal for you as they support 4K UHD video recording apart from full-HD video recording. These microSD cards are available in different capacities ranging from 32GB to 1TB.

With the going away of a loved one, creativity also starts withering and drying, melting away into the lost vastness of an ocean, evaporating into thin air and vanishing into the blue!


The first example of an Eynon's retail shop in St.Clears evolved at the turn of the last century. It was a modest venture as the trading environment in a small Welsh market town dictated. James Decimus Eynon, the tenth child in his family, my great-great grandfather, became the first shopkeeper in the family.
There simply was not enough work within his business for his children to assist him or to develop the business, during a time when the first Great War had a significant impact on the economy of the day. My great-grandfather Carl Eynon left the area and moved to one of the great Welsh mining valleys and began working for the Cooperative Society as a butcher.
During this time in the village called Blaengwynfi, my grandfather was born, Edward George Eynon on 1st February 1925. My grandfather attended the local primary school, and during the formative years of his life, experienced the harsh realities of life in a small mining community. These were very difficult times for the family and although they had a small home of their own, the lifestyle was basic and my grandfather's first pair of shoes came by way of charitable donation. Humble beginnings indeed but the family involvement with the meat trade continued although in the employment of another company.
The growth of St.Clears during this time persuaded the family that a move back to St.Clears was realistic, and a small shop and property became available for rent in the village and my great-grandfather moved his family back to West Wales.
Ironically he now opposed my great great grandfather in business and again the family standard of living was very basic. Opportunities arose however from neighbouring properties. A small cottage next door was rented and living accommodation improved. The business interests progressed to the next town along the A40 called Whitland, but generally, it is accepted that business opportunities remained few.
The next significant intervention in the family story is, of course, the Second World War. My grandfather, therefore, did not join my great grandfather in business and joined the Royal Navy at the age of eighteen. On 18th September 1943, following basic training at HMS Raleigh, he acquired a formal qualification in butchery and storekeeping. He served in the Far East in HMS Speaker a support carrier. My grandfather, being the next generation, continued an association with butchery but now in extraordinary circumstances.
On leaving the Royal Navy, regulation or rationing prevented my grandfather either joining my great-grandfather in business or opening his own shop. Circumstances dictated that in three generations of butchers not one succeeded another in the same business. My grandfather's opportunity arrived on the death of my great-great-grandfather in 1953. He had worked in the intervening years as a policeman at the Experimental Establishment in Pendine, West Wales, but had always hoped to open his own business.
The next retail business in the family story opened in September 1955, in the town centre of St.Clears. Equipment, refrigeration and indeed business opportunities now developed quickly, and my grandparents moved property from one side of the A40 in the town centre to the other side of this busy road, to a very much bigger property with far greater potential.
The first occasion for a family member to succeed another within the same business arrived in 1969 when my father joined my grandparents in partnership. It is arguably from this point on that business opportunities and turnover began to blossom in the family history. It was a time when the Sunday roast was the main family meal of the week, and the agricultural economy in rural areas was buoyant. The farming communities were important customers, and in 1963 the family built an abattoir to service the business.
It was very much a time when St.Clears as a market town would be bustling with activity each day when the livestock market was open. Prior to the town being by-passed the A40 through the town was chaos during the summer holiday period, at a time when people holidayed in this country and the summers were hot and seemed to last for weeks.
It was eventually time for my grandparents to consider a well-earned retirement, and in 1990 they retired and the partnership with my father ceased. Crucially it was also the time for a change and a new direction was considered by my father and the shop you see today was created in 1994. The entire property was refurbished and the new look Eynon's was born.
The company today is managed by my father and his co-director, his wife Rhiannon. It remains very much a family business and they currently employ 4 members of staff. The product range reflects today's eating and shopping trends and includes a varied meat counter, a bakery producing meat pies, and a range of kitchen ready meals.
The shop floor has an extensive range of fine wines, champagnes, handmade chocolate, preserves and the list goes on and on. The theme generally is to focus on luxury and exclusivity and to entertain the customers as they browse from one corner to another.
Christmas is a very significant trading time of year, with logistics, storage, and energy tested to the full. Preparations for mail order deliveries start as early as August, and the entire campaign requires weeks of careful planning. The intake of fresh meat multiplies dramatically, and advance baking starts in October. Rhiannon manages the corporate gift and family gift demand and makes and decorates several hundred hampers and gift baskets.
The trading year is now very demanding but for all the best reasons. Eynon's continues to grow and develop and is justifiably recognized as the best in Wales and recently voted the best in the U.K.
I am the next generation, in fact, the fifth to play a part in this story. My eight years in the Royal Navy has ended, where I was in the Logistics branch as a Leading Stores Accountant. The traveling whilst in was extensive which took me to places as far south as the Falkland Islands, and east to Australia. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in the Navy but had an ambition one day to joy the family business.
I will play an active part in the progress of this family story. My father and Rhiannon remain ambitious and have now identified the need for warehousing and new facilities to meet the needs of future growth, and at the end of 2006, the new factory to the rear of the shop was completed.
There will always be concern over the future of the meat trade following successive crises both in the meat trade and agriculture. The Foot and Mouth outbreak has ironically signalled an appreciation by the general public of quality food and has persuaded most to steer towards independent specialist outlets that take care in sourcing meat and fine food, from only natural free-range or organic sources.
The future of Eynon's would appear to be safe, and in safe hands and the next chapter in the story has started.
