Israel's Netanyahu lampooned for failing to fill top central bank job

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his finance minister, Yair Lapid, were pilloried by Israeli media on Sunday for their failure to fill the job of central bank chief and their lack of a proper vetting process, after two candidates withdrew.

In what has become front-page news, headlines called the long-running search to replace highly regarded Stanley Fischer a "circus" and Netanyahu and Lapid "clumsy fools".

Netanyahu and Lapid have had months to find a replacement for Fischer, who said in January that he would step down in June, two years early, after spending eight years in the job.

On Friday, Bank Hapoalim chief economist Leo Leiderman withdrew his candidacy two days after being nominated, citing a preference to stay in the private sector.

Israeli media reports said two anonymous phone calls to the head of a vetting committee for senior civil servants that was to approve his appointment, hinted that when Leiderman left Deutche Bank over a decade ago it was not on good terms.

Jacob Frenkel - who ran the Bank of Israel in the 1990s - pulled out this week, calling reports of his being detained at Hong Kong airport in 2006 a "witch hunt". No charges were ever filed and Frenkel said it had all been a misunderstanding.

Netanyahu and Lapid were angered by the rough treatment Frenkel received in the media and said that could deter qualified people from entering public life.

"This story is more embarrassing than it is amusing," wrote commentator Nahum Barnea in the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.

"Ultimately, the joke is on our (central) bank, our economy, our government. A miserable combination has been created here between a prime minister who is certain that he knows everything, and a clueless finance minister."

Lapid, a former television presenter who once said he knows nothing about economics, himself joked, "It turns out that economics professors a very colorful and wild bunch."

He told radio stations that choosing a new governor would be done in a considered manner and explained the failure by saying that the state does not employ a private investigator.

Analysts and many lawmakers see Karnit Flug, Fischer's deputy and acting Bank of Israel governor, as the best choice but she said in a letter to bank staff on Sunday: "I intend to serve as acting governor until the appointment of a new and permanent governor and the completion of an overlap period".

Flug, Fischer's choice, has been passed over twice for the top job and resigned after Leiderman's nomination on Wednesday.

    University art project with Turner Prize winner shortlisted for ?60,000 award

    Arts

    Elizabeth Price

    Elizabeth Price, winner of the 2012 Turner Prize

    An Oxford University art project involving the winner of last year's Turner Prize has been shortlisted for one of the UK's highest-value contemporary art awards.

    In partnership with the Pitt Rivers Museum and the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, the Ashmolean Museum is seeking funding to commission a new piece of work by artist Elizabeth Price to form part of its permanent collection.

    The proposal is one of four to have been shortlisted for this year's ?60,000 Contemporary Art Society Annual Award for Museums.

    Professor Christopher Brown CBE, director of the Ashmolean Museum, said: 'It is a huge honour for the Ashmolean to be shortlisted for this year's Contemporary Art Society Annual Award for Museums.

    'The Ashmolean is a rare place where people can study the history of the world through an encyclopaedic collection from Predynastic Egypt right up to art being made today.

    'This prestigious award would give the country's oldest public museum the chance to work with one of the UK's most acclaimed contemporary artists, Elizabeth Price, and to collaborate with Oxford's world-famous Pitt Rivers Museum and the equally celebrated Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art. Elizabeth has proposed a work which would open up the archives and collections of Oxford in a radical new way.

    'From autumn 2013, the Ashmolean will be expanding its modern and contemporary art programmes with a series of ambitious exhibitions and projects. The opportunity to work with the current holder of the Turner Prize as part of this programme is a truly exciting prospect.'

    Elizabeth, who was born in Bradford and received a BFA from the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art in 1988, has recently returned to Oxford to take up a permanent University lectureship. The winner of the 2012 Turner Prize, Elizabeth wishes to make a new film that explores the photographic archives and collections of the University's museums, focusing particularly on the Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers.

    The winner of this year's Contemporary Art Society Annual Award for Museums will be announced in November following deliberation by a judging panel comprising artist Brian Griffiths, arts journalist Charlotte Higgins, gallery director Elizabeth Neilson and curator Kirsty Ogg.

    Brooklyn Bowl Wedding Band All Stars ft. Slammer & The Pogs

    There's this new thing in town called the Brooklyn Bowl Wedding Band All Stars that's about to rock Williamsburg. The new monthly party will be two hours of New York's finest musicians performing cover songs, the perfect marriage of beloved classics and our favorite local heroes. The first unofficial All Stars party on April 1st was such a sold-out success of shameless '90s covers that we couldn't help but expand it into a regular event. Imagine it - a wedding at Brooklyn Bowl with all of your friends, minus the annoying in laws and with the added bonus of some Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken.

    The core house band will be composed of talented artists who have played and toured with the likes of French Horn Rebellion, Penguin Prison, Savoir Adore, Passion Pit, Lissie Trullie, and more. On top of that, there will be a rotating cast of special guest vocalists (or wedding singers, you choose) at each party. So come one, come all, and don't forget to bring your party gear and dancing shoes because as the wise Juicy Jay would say, WEDDING BANDZ A MAKE HER DANCE

    **8/3 special guests include members of Savoir Adore, Wakey! Wakey!, Snowmine, Ron Pope, Akudama, Jenny Owen Youngs, SSION, Emmy Wildwood, Ido Vs. The World, and MANY MORE.**

    Topless activists enter Russian embassy in Sweden

    STOCKHOLM (AP) ? Two topless activists climbed over a fence into the Russian embassy in Stockholm on Thursday to protest against the country's anti-gay bill and stigmatization of homosexuals.

    Police were called to the embassy in the morning to remove the activists, who are now suspected of trespassing. They were released after confessing to trespassing.

    The two women, linked to the Ukrainian feminist group Femen, waved a rainbow flag at the embassy's grounds and carried a sign saying "homosexual propaganda on Russian ground."

    They were supported by two other activists outside the embassy, who shouted "Gay Rights are Human Rights."

    One of the activists, Jenny Wenhammar, said the group was protesting against a recently enacted Russian law which imposes hefty fines for holding gay pride rallies or providing information about the gay community to minors.

    Later Thursday a group of 150 to 200 people gathered outside the embassy for a peaceful demonstration against the same law.

    The activities coincide with Stockholm Pride festival, which is being held this week and which has put special focus on gay rights in Russia.

    Earlier this week, Sweden's Foreign Minister Carl Bildt also reacted to the deteriorating situation for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people in Russia.

    "Hate-mongering against LGBT persons on the rise in Russia after recent law," he wrote on Twitter. "Repulsive. Inhuman."

    PSA/Peugeot-Citroen gets a lifeline as EU signs off on debt issuance

    State aid: the Commission approves the restructuring plan for the PSA Peugeot Citro?n group

    Following an in-depth investigation (see IP/13/392), the European Commission has concluded that restructuring aid of EUR 571.9 million granted by France to the PSA group is compatible with the internal market. In particular, the updated structuring plan will help to restore the group to viability while limiting the distortions of competition caused by State aid.

    ?Following an in-depth investigation, we have arrived at a formula which allows PSA to restructure in accordance with clear limits, reducing to a minimum the damaging effects for competitors who have not received support from public funding. This is a balanced result which offers the PSA group the chance to make a new start on a sound basis?, said Joaqu?n Almunia, Vice-President of the Commission with responsibility for competition policy.

    The aid will take the form of a State guarantee covering bond issues by the Banque PSA Finance until 31 December 2016 up to a maximum of EUR 7 billion for the principal (a gross subsidy-equivalent of EUR 486 million) on the one hand, and a repayable advance of EUR 85.9 million for the implementation of the ?50CO2Cars? R&D project on the other. This brings the total amount of restructuring aid to EUR 571.9 million.

    The updating of the group?s restructuring plan based on recent trends on the vehicle market in Europe has eased the Commission?s concerns regarding the group?s return to viability. Should the group?s results be considerably below those envisaged by the plan, the group has undertaken to take additional corrective action so as not to exceed a certain level of net debt during the restructuring period. The group?s return to viability will also help the situation of the Bank, whose present difficulties are due to its organic links with the rest of the group. The Commission also felt that the ?50CO2Cars? R&D project to develop a ?mild-hybrid? diesel engine, which is part of the restructuring plan, will make a positive contribution to the viability of the group.

    The State guarantee for bond issues by the Banque PSA Finance will enable it to refinance more cheaply. This advantage must be proportionate to the objective of the group?s return to viability, but must not allow it to offer credit for the purchase of vehicles, which would increase the PSA group?s sales artificially and harm its competitors. The French authorities therefore undertake to increase the price of the guarantee paid by PSA (currently 260 basis points a year on the amounts issued) based on the penetration rate of Banque PSA Finance, that is to say the proportion of Peugeot and Citro?n vehicles sold with financing from Banque PSA Finance. If the penetration rate increases substantially, the price may increase to 491 basis points, corresponding to the market price estimated by the Commission.

    In addition, the PSA group has promised to maintain the margin for loans granted by Banque PSA Finance to dealers and to refrain from making major acquisitions during the period covered by the restructuring plan. Lastly, the EUR 24.5 million in subsidies initially provided for 50CO2Cars will be converted into recoverable advances so that, if the technology is successful, the advances will be repaid to the State in full.

    An independent expert will be appointed, with the prior approval of the Commission, to ensure that these measures are complied with.

    Finally, the PSA group will contribute to the costs of its restructuring through the setting up of a major plan for the sale of assets.

    The Commission concluded that the restructuring plan, together with the undertakings from the French authorities, will enable the PSA group to return to viability, while at the same time protecting in a balanced way the interests of competitors who have not had public funding.

    Background
    Rescue and restructuring aid is highly distortive of competition as it artificially keeps companies in the market that, without such aid, would not have been able to remain there. The EU Rescue and Restructuring Guidelines therefore set out a number of criteria to ensure that such aid goes only to companies that have a realistic prospect of viability and that take measures to alleviate the distortions of competition brought about by the state support (see IP/04/856 end MEMO/04/172).

    In particular, the guidelines require a sound restructuring plan that enables the beneficiary to become viable in the long-term on the basis of realistic assumptions, so that it does not have to continue to ask for public support rather than competing on its own merits. As public funding gives a company an economic advantage that its competitors do not have, the plan must include measures to reduce the distortions of competition caused by the state support, such as the reduction of capacity or market share. Furthermore, the beneficiary must make a significant own contribution to the costs of restructuring. Finally, restructuring aid may be granted only once over a period of ten years ('one time, last time' principle).

    In February 2013, the Commission gave temporary approval for the guarantee granted by France, covering bond issues by the Banque PSA Finance S.A., up to a nominal amount of EUR 1.2 billion (see IP/13/106). In May 2013, the Commission opened an in-depth investigation into the restructuring of the PSA group, mainly because it had doubts about the return to long-term viability of the group and whether the notified compensatory measures were sufficient (see IP/13/392).

    The non-confidential version of the decision will be made available under the case number SA.35611 in the State Aid Register on the DG Competition website once any confidentiality issues have been resolved. New publications of state aid decisions on the internet and in the Official Journal are listed in the State Aid Weekly e-News.

    Big NFL Pro Bowl changes: Draft format coming

    Posted July 31, 2013

    Pro Bowl 2014 will feature several modifications

    The upcoming Pro Bowl will eliminate the AFC-NFC divide and kickoffs. (Scott Cunningham/Getty Images)

    The Pro Bowl continues to haul in substantial TV ratings for the NFL, year after year, but the tedious AFC-vs.-NFC format and a constant stream of players backing out of the game has left the league searching for a way to upgrade the experience.

    What it?s come up with is this:

    Starting with the upcoming Pro Bowl, to be held on Jan. 26 in Hawaii, the NFL will scrap the conference setup in favor of a ?fantasy-like draft,? ESPN?s Adam Schefter reported. NFL Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders each will captain a team, with the selection process airing Jan. 22 on NFL Network. (The NHL All-Star Game has televised its ?fantasy All-Star draft? since it moved to this format in 2010.)?Each team will consist of 43 players (same number as previously allotted to the AFC and NFC), but kickoffs no longer will be a part of the game itself.

    Other modifications:

    ??Defenses will be allowed to use Cover Two and press coverage. In previous years, only man coverage was allowed outside of goal-line situations.

    ? A two-minute warning will be added to the first and third quarter and the football will change hands after each quarter. The NFL is hoping this increases the frequency of two-minute drills.

    ? A 35-/25-second play clock will be used instead of the typical 40-/25-second clock.

    These are drastic changes for the NFL?s All-Star Game, but it is at least an attempt to spice up what has become a rather monotonous affair. So far, it sounds as if this will be a one-time change, with the NFL gauging the success of the adjustments before deciding whether to make a permanent switch.

    The game again falls the week before the Super Bowl, meaning that any players participating in that game will be excluded from the festivities, even if they are named to the roster. These updates also do nothing to stop players from backing out of the game due to nagging injuries, either, be they serious or not.

    But the lead-up to the game will have a little more juice now, even if the product on the field itself still constitutes little more than a glorified practice.
