The Transparency Trap
2012-02-02 19:14:00 This week we take a brief pause in our series on the choices facing the developed world to look at some items that are catching my attention. We will get back to the US next week, as somehow I think we will not solve our problems between now and next Friday, and there will be plenty left for us to talk about. So today we look at the “shift” in Fed policy, and at the balance sheets of central banks, US GDP, Portugal and the ECB, the LTRO policy, and yes, there’s even a tidbit on Greece. Plenty of ground to cover, so with no “but first,” let’s get started. The Transparency Trap The Fed announced this week that . . . → Read More: The Transparency Trap

Protect Information Or Promote Transparency? US Courtrooms In Dilemma
2011-12-02 10:05:00 Some of the biggest legal battles are currently going on in the US Courtrooms. However, the proceeding are rarely made available to public. The face-off between Apple & Samsung is one gigantic patent infringement law-suite in which Apple feels Samsung has “slavishly†ripped-off its designs of iPhone & iPad. Accordingly, Apple is trying to prevent sale of Galaxy line of Phones & Tablets (earlier in Europe) & now in the US. However, the proceedings of the case have always been tightly wrapped up under “Sealâ€. Meaning, they are unavailable for viewing by people not directly associated or working with the case. The reasons usually citied by both the parties for filing the documents under seal are their trade secrets and confidential information could come out during litigation. Surprisingly, the judges hearing the case, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose has been surprisingly supportive or even promotive to the idea of keeping the documents wrapped up. One...

Obama's Justice Department's battle against transparency
2011-11-05 15:46:00 Barack Obama made a big deal during his presidential campaign about how his administration will be the most transparent in history. Then why is his Justice Department making Freedom of Information requests all that much more difficult? Here is the take on it from the Sunlight Foundation: Obama’s Department of Justice has proposed a new set of... Read more »
New Open Government and Spending Transparency Reforms Introduced
2011-06-18 17:00:00 -By Warner Todd Huston While the Obama administration plays its games with "czars," more "boards," and "committees" to implement government accountability policies, Representative Darrell Issa (R, Calif.) has introduced some measures that would do a far better job to meet those goals. President Obama has touted a "Government Accountability and Transparency Board" (GATB) as well as the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board (RATB) meant to bring more accountability to federal actions. But what real power will these "boards" and "committees" have? What real good will they do? Worse, how can we expect boards appointed by the president to shine the light of transparency on the Executive branch?...
Governor Quinn Definition of Transparency Very Dark
2011-06-04 17:48:00 Governor Quinn Definition of Transparency Very Dark I have often said a Chicago Politician is worse than any wiseguy who has ever plied his trade on city and suburban streets. You see, at least the mafia has an honor code they abide by, unlike the politicians who run our local and state government. But like the mob, politicians don't like being on the public radar because they too are not fond of transparency. And when it comes to Pat Quinn, well transparency gets very dark the more you look at at him.

Transparency & Transition
2010-10-30 22:31:00 Last winter, I took a job in social media and I find that after I spend all day at work blogging, tweeting and posting to Facebook, I'm spent.I really miss the way that regularly blogging here offered me a chance to reflect, even in small ways, on what was happening in my life and how I felt about it.Since going back to work full time, I sometimes find that I'm not sure what I think or how I feel about anything because there's no time to stop and consider.Life is one long task list it often seems.Yesterday I found out I'll be speaking at the Mom 2.0 summit to be held in New Orleans from February, 14-16.I'm super excited to be going because I know I'll love seeing some of my favorite bloggers and meeting new ones.When I saw the announcement though, it was the first time that I have seen my professional blog linked to my personal one. I'm not sure how I feel about that.I haven't taken down any posts here, but this new job in social media has forced my once (at least semi-priva...

Michigan House pushes for transparency in police interrogations
2010-08-12 22:34:00 Legislators in Michigan showed they want more police accountability by passing a bill through the House requiring law enforcement to record all interrogations. Some police officers insist the new regulation would give the accused too much legal leeway if the recording equipment were to break. Advocates say it will prevent illegal interrogation techniques that can lead to false confessions; of the 250 cases exonerated through The Innocence Project, one in four reached conviction from a false confession under stressful conditions. The Senate has yet to vote on the bill....
Big New Transparency Initiative Doesn't Include CPS (Yet)

Well, most of them (here). Me, I just want to know if CPS is going along, or if it's somehow left out of the show. I'm told it's "under review," which could mean anything. Sounds like they are playing catch-up though. Not that it matters, except I'm curious to see what folks who bother to FOIA the Board bother to FOIA the Board about. ...
Peraica's Push for Transparency Reveals Waste
2010-04-18 20:06:00 Commissioner Peraica sponsored a transparency measure that formed the basis for a recent ABC 7 report on waste in county government. Cook County government has started to put its check register online for all to see thanks to Peracia's efforts. Of course, we need more stories like the one below, ABC 7's Chuck Goudie who usesd the online check register to identify questionable expenditures of your tax dollars. One of the worst examples of waste by the County was its expenditures to C.R.O.E., the Coalition for the Remembrance of the Honorable Elijah Mahammad. Mahammad was the former leader of the militant Nation of Islam, a religion now run by Louis Farrakhan. The County is supposedly paying C.R.O.E. for "consulting" services....

RON PAUL TRANSPARENCY AT THE FEDERAL RESERVE VIDEO
2009-12-04 00:05:00 Ron Paul "This Belief Is A Dream! That Will Become A Nightmare! For All Americans!TRANSPARENCY AT THE FEDERAL RESERVE -- (House of Representatives - December[[ 01, 2009)The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Paul) is recognized for 5 minutes. Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke does not want us to know any the details of the Fed's secret operations. This position is not surprising and has been typical of all central bank chairmen. Bernanke's stated goal is ``to design a system of financial oversight that will provide a robust framework for preventing future crises.'' During its 96 years of existence, the Federal Reserve has played havoc with our economy and brought great suffering to millions through unemployment and price escalation. And it has achieved what only a central bank can: A steady depreciation of our currency. Today's dollar is now worth 4 cents, compared to the dollar entrusted to the F...

2009-01-23 17:34:00 China Journal has an excellent interview with Alexandra A. Wrage, president of Trace International, a nonprofit group that works with corporations to reduce bribery as they do business abroad. The post is entitled, "Bribes and Transparency on Chinese Holidays: A Primer," and it sets out the basics of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and some of the most important things to do and to avoid to remain in compliance with it. I highly recommend it for Americans who does business overseas.

Afraid of Losing Business Due To Structured Settlement Transparency Initiat
2008-12-16 01:51:00 It has come to this author's attention that there are one or two structured settlement brokers, settlement planners who have told one of our sources that they will "turn it over to their lawyers" IF they lose any business over the Matter of Honor Project, a grass roots structured settlement transparency initiative in the structured settlement industry that is designed to improve confidence in lawyers, tort victims, judges, insurers, regulators and other stakeholders who benefit or are involved in the establishment of structured settlements. Factoring broker Rhonda Bentzen, of Bentzen Funding Solutions, made such a threat last December when this project started. Bentzen of course had just disclosed to the world that 90% of her clientele was on the take and that the majority of her clientele were settlement professionals. Ms. Bentzen followed this nugget up by trying to defend the taking of kickbacks by structured settlement brokers and settlement planners whic...

Transparency is the New Black
2008-06-09 21:39:00 Greg Owsley, Chief Branding Officer of New Belgium Brewery spoke today at the Sustainable Brands 2008 conference in Monterey, CA on his company’s sustainable branding success story. New Belgium’s quest to showcase their sustainable practices began in hopes of inspiring other breweries or companies with similar values to embrace environmentally-conscious practices and culture from the inside out. Naturally, the quirky, fun-loving company faced trials and tribulations in defining its sustainable image, including marketing efforts developed both internally and externally that showcased their core values but failed to tell their whole, quite impressive, sustainable story. One challenge that often arises in this space, is ‘walking the talk’ - incorporating sustainable practices within the organization to coincide with marketing sustainable products or services to customers. Companies often jump ahead to the marketing part and forget that the proof truly is in the pudding,...

2008-04-30 01:57:00 The Indonesian International Transparency (TII) non-governmental organization (NG) and the Publish What You Pay coalition had urged the government to issue rulings and standards impelling oil and gas companies operating in Indonesia to carry out their business activities transparently. "The government needs to have the guts to tell the oil and gas companies to be more transparent, as many of them have been hiding behind the so-called secrecy clause," coordinator of the Publish What You Pay coalition Ridaya Laodengkowe said during the launching of a TII Report on Transparency of Oil and Gas Companies` Income 2008 in Jakarta on Tuesday. The lack of transparency, especially in the companies` payments to the state, will seriously affect the state`s revenue.

Companies need to step up Singapore corporate governance, transparency
2008-04-26 08:27:00 Companies need to step up Singapore corporate governance, transparency By Rachel Kelly, SINGAPORE: Minority shareholders in Singapore have plenty to think about in recent weeks, with the red flag raised on corporate governance and transparency issues in not just one, but three companies. These companies are Jade Technologies, Swissco International and China Aviation Oil. Associate Professor Ho Yew Kee, Vice Dean, Finance and Administration, NUS Business School, said: “I think it is a sign that corporate governance is taking an effect on the market and companies suddenly realise that they can no longer do things in the quiet. “For example, if an independent director is resigning, they can no longer sweep it under the carpet because they realise that they need to prepare statements. They have to explain to the market as to the kind of signal that is being sent by the resignation of the independent director.” Minority shareholders in Singapore are also increasingly ...

Mortgage Transparency Kills Mortgage Service: Will the Mortgage Industry's
2008-04-17 19:55:00 The latest move in our industry, fueled further by its recent implosion, is that of transparency in the mortgage transaction. For starters, I am all for that, though you may not feel that way after reading this. Why? Because of what transparency encourages.To truly understand what I am getting to, let's look at what has happened to the airlines in the last 30 years or so. Some of you are old enough to remember the "glamour" that surrounded airline travel. In fact, families would save for years just to afford to take a vacation that included air travel.However, deregulation took over the industry. It brought its benefits, cheaper travel, more options, increased competition, etc. Nothing wrong with that for the most part. But look at what the US airline industry has become. Poor service, cramped seats, little or nothing "glamorous" about it. Can you say commoditization?Yes, especially after September 1...

Tricks of the Trade - Equity Indexed Annuities
2008-04-13 22:55:00 The TV remote passed by NBC Dateline on the way to ESPN this evening (arggh, Denver won, Warriors slim chance for playoffs...) and caught my attention with coverage on how sales people are trained to sell equity indexed annuities. I know mortgage brokers who have gotten insurance licenses to sell these products. The MO is to do a cashout refi and then invest the cash into these long term annuities. The mortgage brokers make money on the refi and the annuity commissions. Dateline's Chris Hansen investigates the questionable sales techniques. The most interesting marketing tricks are paying for credible celebrity status. For $2,500, a firm offers to place the deceptive agent's name as the author of a book called Alligator Proofing your Estate. Another service offered by Annuity University (now a defunct site) provides a faux radio interview that agents provide as CDs to their clients in order to establish credibility.

2008-04-02 18:47:00 It might be tempting for a brand that's built a reputation for environmental concerns to rest on its laurels and continue on with the same old strategy. However, that's not the case with Patagonia, who despite building a brand that's focused on supporting the environment, it's recently turned its attention to the eco-footprints of its products. There's a dedicated space on its website that examines the footprints of four of its products.
