Yves Smith, Naked Capitalism: The idea that Goldman Sachs' decisions are driven by simple reputational considerations rather than a desire to comply is reinforced by the leakage of this story to Wall Street's most friendly news outlet, The New York Times' Dealbook, prior to Senate hearings on the Carmen Segarra tapes.
Intelligence Questions
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/27513-intelligence-questions

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/27649-obama-s-feet-to-the-fire-not-likely-not-ever

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/27658-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-walmart-is-one-of-the-world-s-biggest-consumers-of-coal-and-more
In today's On the News segment: According to a new report from the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, Walmart is one of the world's biggest consumers of coal; learning a second language is like bodybuilding for your brain; the Food and Drug Administration is tasked with ensuring the safety of what we put into our bodies, but it has no authority over most of the stuff we put on our skin; and more.
Paul Krugman | Still Waiting for the Collapse
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/27591-still-waiting-for-the-collapse
Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: The collapse keeps not happening because the Fed is not a rogue trader and historical norms for interest rates aren't relevant in a persistently depressed, deleveraging economy. But rather than acknowledge that they were wrong, billionaire traders continue to lash out and claim, "It's all fake!"
