CDARS, Moral Hazard & the FDIC
2009-09-19 13:02:00 “I’ve recently seen some cases where banks that participated in the CDARs program were cited for accepting third-party brokered accounts,” van Doorn said, referring to the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service that lets banks join a network and place funds into certificates issued by other network-member banks. “It’s still an open issue.” - NJ Biz1 I had to go back a couple of weeks to find that single item suggesting that there may possibly be a moral hazard problem with CDARS. Indeed, there seems to be an ominous reluctance in the mainstream media for bringing up CDARS in connection with the FDIC, even as the deposit insurance agency is struggling4 against the perception that it may require a bailout of its deposit fund. Nevertheless, if I’m reading the tea leaves correctly on this really obscure piece,2 there’s a serious war going on under the covers between an alarmed regulatory community and a lot of bankers ...

Yuri Anime: El Hazard - Magnificent World (English)
2009-06-09 00:00:00 I know I've told the tale many times, about how Sailor Moon was my gateway into Yuri. But it was not my gateway into anime. My first anime was back when I was watching Star Blazers after school and instinctively understanding that anime was a black hole into which all my time and money would go, so I avoided it like the plague. A decade later, I was teaching martial arts and hanging with a group of other MA teachers. We'd get together and watch crappy movies and stuff and one day one of them brought along Tenchi Muyo, the TV series, and for some reason, we all got hooked on it. We watched that and the movies...I'll never forget how filthy the third movie made us all feel. lolBecause, or perhaps despite the fact that Tenchi was one of my gateway anime, I somehow managed to skip El Hazard...until now. Of course I had *heard* of El Hazard. I knew of Fatora and Alielle. But I had never actually watched the anime.When I announced on Twitter that I was about to embark upon watching Mag...

"Immoral Hazard"
2008-05-30 14:15:00 by Stephen Lendman So says Jeremy Grantham, co-founder of Boston-based investment firm Grantham, Mayo and Van Otterloo, now known as GMO. Some call him the philosopher king of Wall Street because of his highly insightful views on markets and the economy, usually with a longer-term perspective. In a profession of touts, fast-buck and scam artists, Grantham's commentaries are notably refreshing. They're detailed, scholarly, sober, clear and especially important at a time of unparalleled excesses, great economic uncertainty, voices ranging from gloom and doom to blue skies and all clear ahead, so who knows what to believe. Few people sort things out better than he, and whether right or wrong, he makes consummate sense and should be taken seriously. He calls his latest commentary "Immoral Hazard" and takes straight aim at the perpetrators. It's not the first time, and with good reason. Bad policy yields bad results with former Fed Chairman Greenspan Exhibit A. Grantham...

Road Warrior Airport Hazard. Why Full Disk Encryption Matters
2008-04-02 07:43:00 The Computerworld website has a blog called the "Shark Tank." It's a blog where readers send in their IT stories, usually involving an instance where the IT guy is right and the non-IT guy is wrong. Sometimes I will commiserate with the one, sometimes with the other. What I find from reading this particular blog is the extent of random happenstances that can occur, and why in the long run it pays to have hard drive encryption. For example, the latest entry that I have read involves a road warrior who has returned from a business trip and finds he cannot access his laptop. On top of that, he finds his cell phone has been stolen from his computer bag. He calls the IT guy, who promptly points out that this cannot be the road warrior?s laptop. Turns out, road warrior guy must have grabbed the wrong computer bag?an identical one to his?at the airport, which happened to contain the same exact computer model he was using. Chanc...

FORD FIRE HAZARD RECALL CREEPS ALONG
2008-01-19 15:51:00 Parts shortages delay repairs of fire-prone FordsMore than 1.8 million Ford Motor Co. cars and trucks remain at risk of erupting into flames 5 months after the automaker recalled an additional 3.6 million vehicles because of a fire hazard in the cruise control system.Ford initially promised parts would be available for the massive recall to repair the vehicles by October 2007.

MORAL F*CKING HAZARD
2007-12-05 20:35:00 Paulson, Bernanke, Clinton, Bush, bankers, lenders and anyone involved in the stupidest free market intervention idea I've seen in my lifetime need to pull their heads out of their as*es long enough to read this definition of moral hazard.We aren't run by monkeys. We're run by dangerously incompetent and corrupt people who need to HEAR THE OUTRAGE of the public (and the lawyers) on this issue.Moral hazard is the prospect that a party insulated from risk may behave differently, for example, that an insured party's behaviour will be more risky than it would without the insurance.Moral hazard arises because an individual or institution does not bear the full consequences of its actions, and therefore has a tendency to act less carefully than it otherwise would, leaving another party to bear some responsibility for the consequences of those actions.
