   A lot of the subtile aspects of the Dubai crash have been lost as Dubai has not been on the English language news radar for a while.

   Subject: Apostrophe in Your Name? You Can’t Fly!

   This is the stuff of nightmares – not to mention enormous frustration and possible stomach ulcers. If you have an apostrophe in your name – like many of Irish descent do – you may find it impossible to board an airplane in the coming months. Why? Because airline computers can’t print an apostrophe on the boarding pass, the name on your boarding pass will not exactly match the name on your driver’s license or passport. And beginning next year, the two must match or you don’t fly. And they call this progress. CJB.

   Subject: NY area bank claws back over 50,000 pension payments

   - the bank paid the money, then grabbed it back from the accounts. Just like we’ve all been promised would never, ever, happen…

   [UFT press release]
   http://www.uft.org/news/bank_error_to_blame_for_withdrawn_pension_payments/

   Bank error to blame for withdrawn pension payments

   Some 53,000 UFT retirees who rely on electronic pension payments had funds
   involuntarily withdrawn from their accounts on Nov. 6, causing all sorts
   of grief for those counting on the money. The Bank of New York Mellon,
   which is the transferring agent for the funds, erroneously reversed the
   October benefits payments to retirees paid through electronic fund
   transfer.

   “We’re outraged. This is unacceptable,” said UFT President Michael
   Mulgrew. “We have been on top of this since the calls first started coming
   in early Friday morning and we will continue to work until all of our
   members have been made whole. Our first priority is to get all of the
   money back into our members’ accounts.”

   The risks of this happening have been thrashed out before. What disturbs me even more here is that the recipient banks simply allowed this wholesale clawback.

   Given the dangers of someone even less scrupulous then this player doing, well, the exact same thing… one would have hoped that part of the banking security profiles on ACH transfers would include “circuit breakers” which would get tripped on any demand of this many accounts.

   If Buffett only knew how to retrieve his cell phone messages, the banking crisis might have been averted. True or false?

   Let me guess, would gold and siver feature anywhere in his forecast, how about energy, food, water, and infrastructure. Lets not forget ammo, whiskey, and cornish pasty’s.
