BeetBox drops a beat with a side of Raspberry Pi, and other plant puns (video)

BeetBox drops a beat with a side of Raspberry Pi, and other plant puns video

Sometimes the plays on words are unavoidable -- in fact, they form the very heart of Scott Garner's recent musical creation. His BeetBox turns six of its namesake root vegetables into drum pads through SparkFun capacitive touch sensors, all of which are controlled by (what else?) a Raspberry Pi. Cleverness goes beyond the core technology and food jokes, as well. All of the circuitry and audio equipment is hidden within the wood box, making it look more like a horticultural project than machinery. We don't mind the lack of production plans when there's source code available; we're mostly curious as to what in our garden would make for a good rhythm section.

UBS fined $1.5 billion in growing Libor scandal

ZURICH (Reuters) - Swiss bank UBS agreed to a $1.5 billion fine on Wednesday after admitting to fraud and bribery in a deepening scandal over the rigging of global benchmark interest rates.

Dozens of UBS staff manipulated the Libor rate, which is used to price trillions of dollars worth of loans across three continents, in collusion with brokers and traders at other banks, according to an international investigation.

U.S. prosecutors also lodged criminal charges on Wednesday against two former UBS senior traders for the Libor manipulation, the first individuals to be charged in the wide-ranging investigation that involves more than a dozen big banks.

The controversy is expected to ensnare other big lenders and spark civil lawsuits as well as other criminal proceedings against individuals involved.

The UBS penalty, issued by U.S., UK and Swiss authorities, far exceeds the $450 million levied on Britain's Barclays in June, also for rigging Libor, and is the second largest ever imposed on a bank.

"We deeply regret this inappropriate and unethical behavior. No amount of profit is more important than the reputation of this firm," said UBS Chief Executive Sergio Ermotti.

The Libor benchmarks are used to set trillions of dollars worth of loans around the world, ranging from home loans to credit cards to complex derivatives.

Tiny shifts in the rate, compiled from daily polls of bankers, could benefit banks by millions of dollars. But every dollar benefiting one bank meant an equal loss by a bank, hedge fund or other investor on the other side of the trade - raising the threat of a raft of civil lawsuits.

"The big unknown factor is the civil litigation that could follow on as a result of this," said Paras Anand, European equities head at Fidelity Worldwide Investment, one of UBS' biggest investors. "The issue for shareholders is the challenge of pricing that risk in."

A UBS unit in Japan has pleaded guilty to one count of fraud relating to manipulation of benchmark rates, including the yen Libor. The probe highlighted the important role played by one UBS banker, identified as Trader A, who "embarked on a coordinated campaign" to influence the yen Libor rate.

Britain's Financial Services Authority (FSA) said UBS staff made "corrupt" payments to reward brokers for helping to manipulate rates - expanding the scandal to include bribery.

In the United States, the Justice Department charged former UBS traders Tom Hayes and Roger Darin with conspiracy, according to a criminal complaint unsealed in U.S. District Court in New York on Wednesday. Hayes was also charged with wire fraud and an antitrust violation.

The two men were both believed to be in Europe, according to a U.S. official.

Last week, British police arrested three men, including Hayes, in connection with the Libor probe, the first such arrests. The two others were Terry Farr and James Gilmour, who both worked at interdealer broker RP Martin.

Separately, an Italian court found UBS guilty of aggravated fraud in connection with the sale of derivatives to the city of Milan. Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan Chase and Co and Depfa Bank were also found guilty.

'UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR'

The UBS fine comes a week after Britain's HSBC agreed to pay a record $1.92 billion to settle a probe in the United States into laundering money for drug cartels.

UBS shares were off 0.3 percent after earlier hitting a 17-month high.

"You can see from the stock movement that the fine is already baked in," said Markus Jordi, principal at Zurich-based investment manager Cosmos Capital.

The Libor settlement caps a tumultuous 18 months for UBS during which it lost $2.3 billion in a rogue trading scandal, underwent a management upheaval and cut thousands of job.

"We have to acknowledge that the behavior of certain of our employees who were disciplined during this investigation ... is and was unacceptable," UBS' Ermotti told reporters, adding that about 40 people had left UBS or asked to leave.

The reputational impact of the controversy may only emerge next year.

"The only thing shareholders can do is keep a very close eye on the money flows on the wealth management side," said Neil Wilkinson, portfolio manager at Royal London Asset Management.

"We may not see until the first quarter of next year whether they have lost any clients as a result of this."

The bank will pay $1.2 billion to the U.S. Department of Justice and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, 160 million pounds to the UK's FSA, and 59 million Swiss francs from its estimated profit to Swiss regulator Finma.

The UK penalty is the largest in the history of the FSA and more than double the 59 million pounds paid by Barclays.

UBS said the fines would widen its fourth-quarter net loss but it would not need to raise new capital.

'NORMAL BUSINESS PRACTICE'

Britain's FSA said attempts to manipulate Libor and Euribor, its European equivalent, were so widespread that every submission UBS made over a six-year period from 2005 to 2010 was suspect.

At least 45 people at UBS were involved in the rigging, which was discussed in internal chat forums and group emails but never detected by compliance staff, despite five audits.

The FSA said the manipulation was considered to be "normal business practice" by a wide pool of people within UBS.

In addition to traders trying to move the Libor rate up or down to make money for themselves, senior managers at the Swiss bank directed dealers to keep Libor submissions low during the financial crisis to make the bank look stronger.

The extent of the wrongdoing was highlighted in a series of emails released by the FSA. The exchanges may indicate how traders and brokers conspired to rig the rate while adopting nicknames such as "Captain Caos," (sic) and calling each other "superman," "hero" or "the three muscateers (sic)."

In one email, Trader A wrote to broker A, urging him to keep the six-month yen Libor rate unchanged on the day.

"I need you to keep it as low as possible ... if you do that ... I'll pay you, you know, 50,000 dollars, 100,000 dollars... whatever you want... I'm a man of my word," Trader A wrote.

Traders paid brokers as much as 15,000 pounds a quarter for their help in rigging the rates.

It is the first time that brokers have been accused of taking bribes to aid the manipulation. ICAP, the world's largest interdealer broker, and rival RP Martin have suspended employees in connection with the probe.

Until the rate-rigging scandal broke, Libor had been ignored by regulators and left to the banks to police. From next year, Britain's FSA will oversee it as part of a major overhaul.

The steep fine for UBS comes even as the bank has cooperated with law-enforcement agencies. The bank said it received conditional immunity from some regulators.

A similar admission by Barclays in June touched off a political fire storm that forced its chairman and CEO to quit.

Can I Share My Story With You? | Centro Legal

diana-j-web

?

Hello,

My name is Diana Jauregui. ?I am a high school student participating in Centro Legal?s Youth Law Academy (YLA) program, and I am undocumented.

I?am writing to you today to share with you how Centro Legal has changed my life. ?I hope that my story will move you to continue supporting Centro Legal.

My parents brought me to the U.S. from Mexico when I was one. ?They brought me here so I could have an education and a better life. ?During high school, I began to really understand what it meant to be undocumented when everyone around me started talking about college.??I felt sad because there were so many opportunities that were closed off to me. ?I thought, why should I work hard in school and then have all of my dreams crushed when I graduate? ?It was hard because I was always worried that my parents and I would be deported. ?So far, we have been lucky, but we can?t rely on luck forever.

That?s why I am so grateful to Centro Legal and the YLA program. ?The YLA has helped me apply to college so I can pursue my career in criminal justice.??

When I found out that Centro Legal could help me with a deferred action application I was so excited. ?Centro Legal?s immigration attorney, Nadia Macias, helped me with my application and it was approved in November! ?I am so grateful to Nadia for her help.? ?

Now that I have a work permit through deferred action, I can support myself while I?m in college. ?I need to work while I am in college because costs of tuition and living are so high and I can?t rely on my parents for financial support. ?In the past, I was denied access to paid internships because of my status. ?Now that I have qualified for the deferred action program, I have more opportunities.

I think Centro Legal is so important because they offer affordable services and they really help change people?s lives.

I am so grateful for the help they gave me, which has changed my life and opened so many more doors for me. ?Please help Centro Legal give other youth the same opportunities they have given me. ?Click?here?to donate?today?and help change someone?s life. ?

Sincerely,

Diana Jauregui

Canadian dollar edges weaker as commodity currencies dip

TORONTO (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar weakened slightly against its U.S. counterpart in early trade on Monday as commodity-linked currencies dipped after the Reserve Bank of Australia said mining investment had likely peaked.

While the euro strengthened against the greenback and global shares approached a three-month high on signs of compromise in U.S. talks to stop automatic tax hikes and spending cuts hurting the economy next year, the Canadian dollar dipped.

"CAD has weakened off a little since yesterday's close, it's been a bit of a volatile morning," said Camilla Sutton, chief currency strategist at Scotiabank.

"Interesting because the euro touched a new high overnight but CAD is failing to make new gains."

At 9:14 a.m. (1414 GMT), the Canadian dollar stood at C$0.9846 versus the U.S. dollar, or $1.0156, slightly below Monday's North American close at C$0.9837 versus the U.S. dollar, or $1.0166.

"All the other commodity currencies are also slightly weaker partially on the RBA's minutes, which highlighted that the investment boom in the mining industry is likely peaking, as well as a focus on employment, so that seems to be pulling down commodity currencies a little bit," Sutton said.

Australia's central bank said it decided to cut interest rates this month rather than wait because it saw further evidence that the peak in the mining investment boom was near, while the non-resource sector showed no signs of picking up.

The Reserve Bank of Australia expects the mining investment boom to peak sometime next year, according to minutes of the bank's December 4 meeting, released on Tuesday.

Canadian government bond prices were mixed, slipping across the long end. The two-year bond was down 0.5 Canadian cents to yield 1.155 percent, while the benchmark 10-year bond shed 16 Canadian cents to yield 1.841 percent.

Steve Case On Next Internet Revolution - Business Insider

Fred Wilson, a Union Square Ventures partner and a prominent investor in companies like Zynga and Twitter, recently argued that it's harder for consumer startups to get VC funding because the industry has matured and is moving away from the web to mobile, and that late investors are no longer interested in that field.

While many disagree, the question of whether there's still opportunity for new internet companies and trends is valid.

We asked co-founder of AOL and current CEO of Revolution Ventures, Steve Case at our IGNITION conference, what he thought the next phase of the web was, and if he agreed with Wilson's assertions.

Watch the video below to see why Case thinks there will be a second internet revolution and what it might look like.
