Bernanke stated that the central bank may discard its long-standing stance on interfering with assets bubbles.

The European Parliament called Wednesday for a new independent telecoms regulator group to help open up competition for Internet and phone services across Europe.

EPA is using Action Initiation Lists (AILs) to notify the public about new rules and other regulatory actions. AILs will be posted on the EPA Web site at roughly the end of each month; each will describe those actions that were approved for commencement during the given month. Formerly, the public had to wait for EPA's Semiannual Regulatory Agenda, which is updated only every six months, to learn about new regulatory actions. The AILs provide summaries, agency contacts, and other information about the rules EPA has approved for development. For example, the March 2008 AIL announces the agency's plans to issue an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking for greenhouse gases in late spring. This notice will solicit public input as EPA considers the specific effects of climate change

The New York Times Bear Stearns never ran short of capital. It just could not meet its obligations. The S.E.C. still thinks Bear Stearns was in good shape. At least that is the view from Washington, where regulators never stepped in to force the investment bank to reduce its high leverage even after it became clear Bear was struggling last summer. Instead, the regulators issued repeated reassurances that all was well. Bear’s principal regulator was the Securities and Exchange Commission, which says it was watching closely. “At all times,” wrote Christopher Cox, the S.E.C. chairman, in the aftermath of the collapse, “the firm had a capital cushion well above what is required to meet supervisory standards.” Even when the Federal Reserve concluded it had to subsidize

A strong financial system is vitally important - not for Wall Street, not for bankers, but for working Americans. When our markets work, people throughout our economy benefit – Americans seeking to buy a car or buy a home, families borrowing to pay for college, innovators borrowing on the strength of a good idea for a new product or technology, and businesses financing investments that create new jobs. And when our financial system is under stress, millions of working Americans bear the consequences. Government has a responsibility to make sure our financial system is regulated effectively.

It is our job today, as Members of this Committee, to ensure that the NRC remains a strong and independent regulator, true to its mission of protecting public health and safety, and promoting the common defense and security.  Some excerpts: The NRC cannot condone, and this Committee cannot ignore, security guards sleeping on duty in violation of procedures.   There are reports that NRC staff recommended an additional $22 million for new reactor licensing that was NOT included in the final budget request and that the shortfall will lead to delays of 8 months or more in reviewing applications filed in FY'09.  If this is true, then I am very concerned to hear that the NRC may already be jeopardizing its ability to conduct thorough reviews in a timely f

Voice on the Net Coalition Europe, which includes large suppliers like Google, Intel, Microsoft, and Skype, was launched on Friday to respond to regulatory proposals made by the European Commission a month ago.One of these proposals would require that voice over Internet Protocol providers enable calls to emergency services. The U.K.'s telecommunications regulator, the Office of Communications, has since mandated that such access must be made available by September 2008.In its statement, the coalition claimed that the "premature application" of emergency call rules to Web sites, click-to-dial services, one-way public switched telephone-network voice services, and other VoIP services that are not a replacement for traditional home or business phone services "could actually harm public safety, stifle innovations critical to people with disabilities, stall competition, and limit access to innovative and evolving communication options where there is no expectation of placing a 112 call."T

Gene regulatory network (GRN) circuits are collections of DNA segments in a cell which interact with each other (indirectly through their RNA and protein expression products) and with other substances in the cell, thereby governing the rates at which genes in the network are transcribed into mRNA. A lot of research has gone into (a) identifying components of GRNs and (b) developing mathematical models describing their dynamic spatial and temporal interactions. Molecular and cell biologists have a lot to offer in explaining embryonic development from the former perspective. Eric Davidson’s lab at Caltech has been working on this for a few years, with a recent paper in Science on such findings in sea urchin embryos. (more…)

If you want to buy an insurance policy, you have to purchase the policy from an insurance agent recognised by the Insurance Regulatory Development Authority. If you want to invest in fixed deposits, you have to follow RBI guidelines. If one wants to invest in shares then there are SEBI guidelines for regulation. However, when a person is on the verge of making the most significant investment in his or her life i.e. buying a house, there is no regulatory body. A paradoxical situation indeed, which has led to lack of professionalism and has brought builders and brokers of all kinds, who are not aware of basic rules and facts of civil engineering, into the picture. According to Union Minister for Urban Development S. Jaipal Reddy by next year a real estate regulatory body would be in place to protect interests of consumers. However, consumer rights experts have reservations over the proposed regulatory body. “Will the regulatory body be allowed to run by people who do not have veste

The Dubai Land Department, that supervises the booming property sector of the emirate, is in the process of undergoing a major reformation.The department plans to create two agencies under its wing, so as to keep pace with the strong flow of freehold property registrations, and various add-ons to the regulatory framework of the emirate.This has been planned following an announcement by His Highness Shaikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, which led to the establishment of the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA), the first body to be affiliated to the Land Department.The agency has been assigned the task to supervise the key regulations pertaining to the property sector, including the recent regulations on trust accounts, real estate brokers and the responsibilities of Home Owners Associations (HOA).A separate agency will be created shortly to exclusively deal with the freehold title deeds registrations in Dubai.According t

Bring on the union goons!  Congress just might legitimize their heavy-handed activities.  Workers will no longer be able to vote against union organizing without the fear of retaliation. Miller, the chairman of the House Committee on Education and Labor, has introduced a bill, the inaptly named "Employee Free Choice Act,” which would allow unions to circumvent secret ballot voting by employees on whether they want to unionize. Employees instead would be expected to sign (or refuse to sign) union cards in public. This "card check” procedure leaves workers open to well-documented high-pressure tactics and intimidation by union organizers. Rep. George Miller (D-CA) deserves a well publicized public flogging for this latest assault of freedom.
