“Albanian side insisted on U.S. involvement”

“If you want America in the finish, it must be involved in the negotiations from the very beginning”, Daniel Serwer says, according to Belgrade daily Politika. The U.S., along with the European Union, will be involved from the very start in the coming negotiations between Belgrade and PriÅ¡tina on practical issues and that was, as far as Washington is concerned, a decision that was in a certain way forced by insistence of the Albanian side which had its own, easily conceivable reasons.

Dirty Side Down incorporates a unique blend of rock, jazz and blues-inspired

As their eleventh studio album, Dirty Side Downex emplifies the band’s continuing success

most successful touring acts. The 24-date, 17-city “Dirty Side Down Tour” kicks off with
three nights at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, CO, and later includes headlining

Radio City Music Hall. Nine different shows will feature the “Feeding People Through

NEW WIDESPREAD PANIC STUDIO ALBUM DIRTY SIDE DOWN
TO BE RELEASED BY ATO RECORDS ON MAY 25
 Widespread Panic |
Dirty Side Down, the 11th studio album from Widespread Panic is set for a May 25 release on ATO Records. Dirty Side Down is comprised of 12 songs that incorporate Panic’s unique blend of rock, jazz and blues inspired textures into songs flowing with melody, rhythm and emotion.
After 24 years, Widespread Panic remain one of America’s best live bands, and most successful touring acts. Aside from their legendary live shows, they continue to raise the bar in their genre through their songwriting, and Dirty Side Down is a prime example. Band members John Bell (vocals/guitar), John Herman (keyboards/vocals), Jimmy Herring (lead guitar), Todd Nance (drums/vocals), Domingo Ortiz (percussion) and Dave Schools (bass/vocals) combine their efforts by writing, or co-writing, 10 of the album’s 12 tracks.
Songs, such as the dark, multi-layered opener “Saint Ex,” the boogie blues of “Jaded Tourist” or the laid back Southern nature of “When You Comin’ Home” showcase Widespread Panic’s dynamic range as songwriters and musicians.
One of the highlights of Dirty Side Down is the hauntingly beautiful cover of “This Cruel Thing” written by the late Vic Chesnutt, whose songs the band has recorded and performed for years. Widespread Panic has previously collaborated with Chesnutt on two albums under the name Brute. “I guess Widespread Panic and Vic aren’t quite done with each other yet,” says Panic lead singer John Bell.
Dirty Side Down was produced John Keane along with Widespread Panic. Keane also engineered, mixed and mastered the album, as well as contributed pedal steel and acoustic guitar.

Bad debts are peaking and pay falling at Europe’s banks
TWO YEARS ago banks began to include in their results announcements tables meant to show that their exposure to toxic securities was under control. The crisis has moved on: now one European financial firm’s presentation includes a slide that pleads, “limited exposure to sovereign debt [of] Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain”. Yet whatever Europe’s macroeconomic woes, there is actually a more optimistic picture emerging from its lenders. While the view of some forecasters, including the IMF, has been that European banks were sitting on a bad debt time-bomb, the evidence from fourth-quarter results is that the pace at which loans are souring has peaked.
Many of the big firms that had reported full year results by Wednesday February 17th, including BNP Paribas, showed a sequential quarterly decline in bad-debt provisions. Even for those that did not, for example Britain’s Barclays, bad-debt charges came in lower than expected. In almost all cases banks’ bosses made soothing sounds about bad debts reaching a peak in 2009. This picture even appears to extend to the dodgiest corner of banks’ loan books: eastern Europe. Bad-debt charges there remain high. But from Belgium’s KBC to the banks of Sweden and Norway, most firms active in the region hinted that the pace at which loans are turning sour is slowing, even if there is still a big stock of rubbish to clean up. If these suggestions are correct, then overall loss rates on eastern European loans will be far below the 10% or so the IMF projected during the depths of the crisis last year. …
