1. Turning a blind eye: The complicit trespassing of 'Chinese walls' in financial institutions in New York.

Abstract

This article examines the ways in which 'Chinese walls' – that is, information barriers within financial institutions – are constituted and subverted by acts of trespass within large investment banking firms in New York. While Chinese walls positively serve to prevent corruption and fraud, they simultaneously attract legal, semi-legal and illegal forms of trespassing. My analysis shows that some trespassing is based on non-verbalized and embodied exchanges of information that are not in and of themselves illegal. Referred to as playing 'the game', the result of these forms of trespass is that the Chinese wall becomes an 'effect' or fiction. At other times, trespassing can cause inconvenient suspicion, encouraging those who operate amid these walls to participate strategically in various aspects of wilful blindness. Together, these examples reveal the conceptual and material relationships between 'seeing' and 'knowing', thereby highlighting the complexity of information flows in financial institutions and demonstrating how the critical regulation of financial capitalism is sometimes weakened.

Abstract

The article focuses on the suggestion given by Bill Stone, an extension dairy nutritionist and veterinarian, that taking haylage or corn silage from the entire face of a bunker silo and mixing it can help maximize ration consistency. Stone conducted research on nine dairies in central New York. He recommends that feeders watch how they remove silage from bunker silos. He finds that dry matter varied more in haylage than in corn silage, although there were examples of extreme variation in both types. Stone says producers could benefit by using face shavers.
