EVANSTON, Ill. — As we predicted several months ago on our sister site, AmericanDrycleaner.com (Could the Unions Still Clean Up), the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is continuing its pro-union agenda with the same thunder as a battleship blasting a broadside.
On June 21, the NLRB published the proposed changes it wants in rules governing union representation elections. When adopted, these rules will make the jobs of union organizers easier by handcuffing management and fast-tracking representation elections in which a company's employees vote whether or not they wish to unionize.
Following the defeat in Congress of the Employee Free Choice Act, which would have allowed "card check unionization" and eliminated nearly all representation elections, union leaders are trying a different way to reach their easy organizing goals. They know "if you can't legislate, regulate." And the NLRB regulates labor relations in America.
The NLRB's proposed changes in its rules upend the "level playing field" standard it has traditionally used to balance the oft-conflicting interests of unions, employers and employees. The new rules would:
Taken together, these new rules will slash the time between a union petition and election and severely restrict management efforts to "tell its side of the story."
The NLRB has already issued rules requiring employers to post notices informing employees of their right to unionize, including the "advantages" of unions. It may also be planning to make permanent the restrictions on management that now apply only after a union files a petition.
The 1935 National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) governs the country's labor relations by secret-ballot elections in a system of industrial democracy. The NLRA gives employees the right to vote whether they want to be represented by a union or not.
The National Labor Relations Board, a quasi-judicial federal agency, administers the NLRA. Appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, its members decide the detailed rules governing union and management behavior and how elections are conducted. Despite criticisms by labor and management, it has done a pretty good job over the years—those who complain have almost invariably lost their elections.
Today, unions decry the current rules governing elections despite the fact that they now win nearly 64% of all representation elections (based on NLRB Annual Reports, 2000-2009). They claim the law is cumbersome, bureaucratic and slow. They argue companies have unfair "advantages," most notably, the right to give "captive audience" speeches to employees on paid time to give management's views. Unions avoid saying they have the right to make home visits to employees to promote their claims, something now denied to management under NLRB rules.
Astute managers realize the best way to avoid election hassles—and the chance of losing—is to treat their employees so they simply don't want a union. The best way to do this is to identify and eliminate the irritants that cause employees to seek out unions in the first place.
Experts know that money is not the real reason employees seek out unions. Rather, workers vote for unions because they believe they are not being treated fairly, openly and honestly—without partiality or favoritism. This is the core issue that determines whether or not a workforce will vote for a union.
The first step to avoiding elections is to conduct an employee audit to determine worker sentiment, i.e. test the temperature on the central plant floor—out by perc drycleaning machines, near the washer-extractors, or in the press areas where employees are wreathed in steam.
Employee attitudes cannot be accurately assessed with the simple paper-and-pencil employee audits many attorneys recommend. Those surveys rarely uncover the nuances of employee thinking, especially those of minority workers from foreign lands with different backgrounds and cultures.
The best way to understand employee attitudes is through face-to-face interviews by expert outside interviewers, because workers speak more openly to an outsider than to any manager for fear of retribution. Also, the ability to discern what employees actually mean by what they say is critical, takes a good deal of experience, and requires knowledge of modern manufacturing practices.
After experts uncover employees' level of satisfaction/discontent—and the reasons behind it—management can then address employees' concerns and eliminate the causes of negative worker attitudes. This often requires two subsequent efforts.
The first is supervisory training tailored to the specific problems of a particular company. Canned training from the Internet is inexpensive—and usually ineffective.
The second is developing a compensation system that encourages productivity and employee cooperation while reinforcing the natural employee/employer bond.
Together, these efforts improve a company's marketplace competitiveness while rendering its employees virtually impervious to the promises of union organizers.
It is better to avoid an election entirely rather than merely winning one.

I was walking near Copley Square one recent morning when I made a profound mistake. I stopped to appreciate the scenery.
Here's what I expected: Urban beauty in the form of the grand dame of a hotel, the Fairmont Copley Plaza, and the contrast between Trinity Church and the Hancock Tower, and the sheer dignity of the McKim Building at the Boston Public Library.
What do you expect when NOBODY wants to pay taxes or ANYTHING for that matter. People need to stop railing against imaginary financial plots and intrigue. Thinking all would be good if ONLY we could squeeze every last ounce of "corruption" and "waste" out of government, life would be grand for all. How many times has the former Garden been renamed. DOES anybody remember it's official name. (I certainly don't). It's had more name changes than a convict in the witness protection program.
THANK YOU! I, too, have noticed this explosion. The city has completely abandoned any architectural or streetscape aesthetic and allowed unnecessary objects, many simply for ad space - some do claim a public purpose, like trash receptacles, but now they are where they were never needed, placed on narrow sidewalks, within 50 feet of each other, bearing an extra wide ad. This is not what public property is for, and our kids already face too much marketing. The side of a bus shelter or bathroom I can deal with, but useless mini billboards? Too much.
It's only going to get worse. Pending changes to the state billboard regulations will (i) exempt these signs from spacing requirements (it used to be that they'd have to be at least 100 square feet apart), (ii) increase the maximum size of these things from 25 square feet to 275 square feet, (iii) allow them in residential areas and (iv) allow them to be digital/blinking. I'd be interested in what the actual revenue share is between Decaux and the city. Thanks Patrick and Menino - nothing drives tourist dollars away more than a crap-looking city!
Okay, fine, the ads stink but this column would have been better had it examined the city's alternatives for raising that $14 million.
Fortunately, here in Boston we have a vibrant, thriving city in which advertisers are willing to spend good money to reach their markets and audiences. Good thing, too, because if the city tried to raise that revenue through taxes then the columnists would be out there interviewing the downtrodden about how they're being "squeezed" and "hammered."
Mr. McGrory, please identify in your next column your favorite couple of ideas for how the city can replace that $14 million in revenue through activities that better suit your aesthetic sensibilities. Or, maybe you can identify for us $14 million in the city budget that we can do away with. Until then, as someone who actually lives in the city, I will accept gladly this trade-off so that we can continue to keep the city functioning, clean, beautiful and progressing.
They have them in Chicago too, I noticed them when I visited recently. My biggest problem with them is that as they say "City Map" in Boston, they say "City Information" in Chicago. Since I was visiting and needed city information, I was tricked by a few of them thinking that the information must be on the other side and only finding an ad for Top Shop. The other problem is that they really distract your attention from the city around you. That's especially disappointing in a beautiful city and it can't do much for tourists especially.
Advertising is a pollution of our radio, tv, computers, phones, etc.. We need limits. I believe a maximum of 6 minutes per hour of broadcast time ( 10%) be allowed for advertising and this should include advertising current and future shows ( yes you too PBS) This is only one of two developed countries that allows drug advertising on TV. I saw advertising on almost all available surfaces when I attended a local college football game. Come on folks, we are better than this.

Currently I'm doing some basic reading about the "extension object" pattern.
This pattern involves a lot of technical stuff like castings from A to B, asking for extensions....
Proposal: Instead of doing all this manually, it may be done through AOP. Now, the task is to translate this concern into an AOP aspect.
Problem: I have no pratical AOP experience.
Can someone help me to understand how this pattern may be translated to AOP.
Extension object:
Excerpt taken fromA concrete base class, Subject, provides mechanisms to dynamically
add and query for extensions. A given extension must be
downcast to its specific interface (SpecificExtension) for use. The
pattern as a whole amounts to defining a standard way to cross
cast from one interface reference to another.
The aspect-oriented alternative to extension objects is extension
aspects (Figure eight). This approach eliminates the need for client
cross casting from one extension (or base interface) to another by
directly injecting the implementation of a specific interface into a
class seen by a given set of clients. Besides removing the cross
casting from client code, this approach reduces the run-time
overhead of the cross cast and the design complexity as measured
in number of classes and methods. The core functionality is more
reusable since its extension mechanism is not predefined via
inheritance from Subject and dependence upon Extension.

Ecology in Chinese Medicine - Part One
by Leon Hammer
Human ecology concerns the relationships between human beings and their natural and social environments. That relationship also concerns the internal environment of a person and the messages that emerge from that internal environment to inform itself of events therein that may concern its survival. We call these messages symptoms, and it is the thesis of this paper that from these messages we can learn not only the condition afflicting an individual, the aetiology of that affliction, but most importantly, the best way to intervene in the resolution of that affliction. Symptoms are our natural friends and our natural enemies are those who invent ways of eliminating them before we learn.

European Forum Wachau
"The Future of the European Union: New Opportunities through Internal Reform and Enlargement"
Opening Address by the Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs
Dr. Benita Ferrero-Waldner
Göttweig, 28 June 2003
Some years ago now the famous Austrian writer Ingeborg Bachmann said that "thinking as a European was enough to put anyone in a predicament". And she was and is not alone in her uncertainty.
- Having said that, recent events in particular have demonstrated that there indeed exists what we might call an enthusiasm for Europe, that is, namely, in connection with the enlargement of the EU.
- However, the last few months have also shown where Europe's deficits lie, where we are still failing to think as Europeans. This was especially evident in the role Europe played on the world stage during and after the war in Iraq.
This, then, is the apparent contradiction that has to be resolved: the objective and direction of a strong Europe in a strong transatlantic partnership in a more peaceful world.
Ladies and Gentlemen !
Since signing the Act of Accession at the very cradle of European democracy - and for me, having the honour of putting my signature to this treaty and playing an active part in this historic event in European history were one of the highpoints of my career - a series of new Member States have held referenda on their accession to the EU, most recently Poland and the Czech Republic. In every single case we were told that it was going to be a very close call. However, in actual fact the people who went to the polls to cast their votes were motivated by an enthusiasm for Europe which gives me very high hopes for our future.
This represents an excellent foundation for our future cooperation within the European Union. There will be no such thing as first and second-class Europeans. In all 25 Member States there will only be citizens who are already enthusiastic Europeans and those who have yet to become so.
The referenda have also shown us that we as the EU must do what Austrian foreign policy has been doing from the outset: having an open ear for the interests of the new Member States and taking their concerns seriously. (For it should come as no surprise if their views and interests coincide with or complement our own more often than we might have expected. After all, in today's world "zero-sum games" in which the winner takes it all and the other player loses out have been consigned to the scrap-heap of political concepts which have quite simply become outdated.)
Unity has emerged victorious. A unity in which each of us preserves our own identity.
And while I am on the subject of pleasing developments in Europe, I also think with great satisfaction of my visits to those Austrian Federal Provinces which have common borders with the new EU Member States. I have noticed that the Austrian people's endorsement of EU enlargement, gratifying in itself, is particularly strong in the majority of the border regions. These regions have at last been given the opportunity to develop their full potential !
In this context I am also delighted that our Regional Partnership with the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia and Poland has meanwhile achieved a very broad level of acceptance. This has led to progress in virtually all areas of our cooperation - politics, economic affairs, culture, interpersonal relationships - progress that people can directly experience today. In its present form the Partnership already represents an excellent platform for pursuing our joint interests within the EU, and our partners' readiness to use this platform is growing.
A look at the neighbouring regions in South-Eastern Europe also reveals a great number of positive developments. Austrian foreign policy is energetically supporting the EU's negotiations with Romania and Bulgaria as well as Croatia's application for membership.
Our commitment to advancing the remaining countries of South-East Europe remains undiminished. I have high expectations of the improved agenda for the Stabilisation and Association Process, which was agreed a week ago at the European Council of Thessaloniki under the Greek EU Presidency, and eagerly await its implementation. We know what these countries are aiming for: Europe. And we support their aim. It is up to them the make the most of this assistance. But occasionally this might also mean that they still have to undergo some very painful reforms.
The Danube Cooperation Process is an initiative we were able to launch last year in Vienna which aims to use the integrative power of the River Danube to intensify cooperation between the 13 countries in its entire catchment area from the North Sea to the Black Sea, and I am delighted that this project too is coming to life.
And there are plenty more points I could mention that justify this feeling of "EU-PHORIA".
Let me just select one more of them as a further example:
Hand on heart - who among us when we met here last year would have bet even a single EURO that today, just one year later, we would have the draft of a European Constitutional Treaty at our disposal? Looking at it from that point of view, the Convention has indeed succeeded in achieving something very important.
When I voiced my call for an "EU Foreign Minister" a year ago here in Göttweig, would you have thought that this very point would be set forth in the draft Constitution just one year later? To be quite honest, I still wasn't so sure it would happen myself.
The Constitutional Treaty is a huge step forward. And a logical one. Because the Enlargement should and must go hand in hand with a process of further deepening.
At any rate the draft represents a good starting point for the Intergovernmental Conference, which will start in October and probably not end before May 2004, though at all events it must be over before the elections to the EU Parliament.
I find it a great pity that the Convention has departed from the mandate it was given in Laeken and is not presenting the European Council with any options.
We understand the intention to come up with a bold design. In itself this is no bad thing. Only we have to make sure that this bold design does not disregard the principles on which the integration process has been based to date, first and foremost the equality of the Member States, the balance of interests, and proximity to the citizens. We must not disappoint our citizens' desire to identify themselves with Europe !
The Convention has in any case achieved the following - all things that we have called for and/or approved from the outset:
- There will be a Constitutional Treaty and the EU will be given a uniform legal personality
- The European Charter of Human Rights will be embodied in law
- There will be better control of the principle of subsidiarity
- The office of European Foreign Minister will be created and the CESDP strengthened
- A co-decision procedure will be instituted for the European Parliament
I. Nevertheless, the draft remains disappointing in a number of points, especially those relating to the EU institutions:
1) Austria does not really see the necessity of having an elected President of the Council. We have made the reasons for our opposition to this absolutely clear. The draft was supposed to improve the functional capability of the institutions. In fact, the various solutions to the presidency question in the different Council formations are both inconsistent and confusing. (In the European Council this role is to be fulfilled by the elected President and in the Council of Foreign Ministers by the EU Foreign Minister; in the General Affairs Council and in the Councils of Specialized Ministers, on the other hand, the presidency is to be held on a rotation basis.)
2) Additionally, the draft was actually supposed to improve identification with and articulation of the common European interest by strengthening the European Commission. In fact, the proposals provide for a massive strengthening of the powers of the European Council, especially with respect to external relations, though they do also foresee a greater role for the European Parliament.
3) I personally would like to have seen the rotation principle adhered to, for instance in the form of team presidencies, an idea I put forward a year ago in an article in the German newspaper "Die Zeit".
II. Furthermore, in my view the proposed distinction between voting and non-voting members of the Commission is not a propitious one. Just think for a moment of the governments of many of our Member States. They are often no smaller than a 25-member Commission would be, and in many cases they are considerably larger.
Besides, most of them take decisions unanimously, whereas the Commission does so by absolute majority. The argument that the Commission would not be able to function efficiently if the principle of "one Commissioner with full voting rights per Member State" were to be retained is therefore a very weak one.
I believe that a great responsibility will fall to the Intergovernmental Conference in this context.
Taking the draft produced by the Convention as its starting point, its main task will be to come up with reforms and improvements in the area where, in my opinion, the Union's greatest deficit lies:
The Union still does not speak with one voice. And this diminishes the Union's capability to live up to its European vocation, namely the propagation of a peace dividend.
III. Making the Union speak with one voice would doubtless be easier to achieve with the introduction of voting by qualified majority, which ought to be made applicable in all areas with the exception of issues relating to military cooperation.
The EU's lack of a single voice also contributes to the scepticism towards Europe shown by our large and increasingly powerful transatlantic partner, the USA. In a time in which America feels its very existence threatened und regards itself as in a state of war, the EU must also be capable of adopting clear positions.
How did Clausewitz put it in "On War?" - "There is seldom peace everywhere in Europe, and there is never an end to war in the other parts of the world." We have almost achieved the first part. Peace reigns in Europe, along with broad stability. In the world outside, from Baghdad to Bunia, plenty still remains to be done to make the world a more peaceful place and thus a safer place for us too.
Allow me to discuss this in a little more detail.
The most important relations for the creation and maintenance of world peace are transatlantic relations.
We foreign policymakers are agreed that the world has changed since 11 September 2001.
In solidarity with the USA, Europe has placed the focus on international terrorism and the combating of terrorist networks and weapons of mass destruction. Nevertheless, in the Iraq conflict the EU and the USA held some partly very different points of view, and this led to tension.
Differences between Europe and the USA have already existed for quite some time now; we only have to think of the conflicts surrounding trade and the issues of unilateralism versus multilateralism, Kyoto, the International Court of Justice, etc. The latest events on the world political stage have accentuated these differences of opinion.
Nor can we rule out the possibility that further differences of opinion between Europe and the USA may arise in future, for instance with regard to policy vis-à-vis Iran or North Korea, or also concerning the question of genetically manipulated corn.
I therefore consider it important that we re-establish an exchange of ideas and balance of interests with the USA in a spirit of confidence and trust. It is not the different points of view that are the decisive factor, but how we deal with them.
I am deeply convinced that it is in our common interest to overcome any existing tensions. We Europeans have to work towards a new partnership with the USA.
I am pleased to see that our EU partners have also become fully aware of this fact. This was evident at the Conference of Foreign Ministers in Rhodes a few weeks ago, and likewise last weekend in Thessaloniki. Thanks are due to the Greek Presidency for addressing this issue and now also for bringing it up for discussion at the recent EU-USA Summit in Washington:
Ideally, the partnership between Europe and the USA should be a partnership of equals.
The strategy we need to pursue is namely a twofold one:
- firstly, to strengthen Europe through enlargement and deepening and,
- secondly, to strengthen transatlantic relations.
Why is this so important?
First of all there are our common values and interests. Europe is the largest investor in the USA (750 billion Euros) and 45 % of all US foreign investments are made in Europe.
Another facet of these common interests - and this must be made clearer on both sides of the Atlantic - is that we as Europeans need the USA to lend stability in a precarious global situation. But despite its global supremacy it is equally true that the USA cannot manage without Europe.
In rather simplified terms, let me put it like this: the USA, as the world's oldest democracy, extends a democracy dividend from which Europe itself benefited when it came to reconstruction in the aftermath of the Second World War and the Nazi dictatorship.
Europe, on the other hand, extends a peace dividend. Both the USA and Europe have an interest in propagating these dividends of democracy and peace. But this is impossible if the EU and the USA let themselves drift into a logic of confrontation and one against the other. Such a world would be a world with less freedom, less prosperity and less peace.
Europe cannot define itself by building barriers, but only through inclusion and cooperation. We have to assume that concepts of unipolarism or multipolarism will prove ever more absurd in these present times. We live in an increasingly interdependent world, and no-one can rule this world alone.
But neither can the world be controlled by a group of states, whether in solidarity or in mutual antagonism. The fact is that practically all responsible systems of government today are based on the same security agenda (protection against terrorism and weapons of mass destruction, combating poverty and mass epidemics, etc.).
I admit that the USA occupies a pre-eminent position on the basis of its military and economic power. But does it make sense to oppose it? For Europe, the answer can only be "no". The question is rather whether the USA will continue to be willing to bear the responsibility that is part and parcel of this position.
On the one hand, Europe must be willing to carry its share of such responsibility. On the other hand, it must have an interest in the USA fulfilling this role in a way that does not run counter to Europe's interests.
We showed in the Balkans that we can jointly succeed in generating stability in a region torn apart by conflicts.
We must combat cynical dictatorships, such as those of a Milosevic or a Saddam, but also the dangers emanating from the regime in North Korea - a situation that should not be underestimated. And what is more, we must overcome the evils they feed upon, like racism, intolerance, poverty and hopelessness. Together we prosperous nations of the West must give the people on this earth a perspective for the future!
So how should we go about bridging these differences between Europe and the USA?
Merely parroting the American positions is, after all, out of the question. Europe must therefore muster its collective potential - not as an opposite pole, but as a complementary one - by finding a uniform line on pivotal issues such as those currently being addressed by the UN Security Council. And we will only succeed in doing this if we give "European" positions precedence over national self-presentation. Unnecessary confrontation is to be avoided, as are transatlantic wars of words.
On the contrary, we must engage in dialogue with the USA too, an in-depth transatlantic dialogue; by all means - if you want to put it like that - a dialogue of cultures, the European and the American.
Within a dialogue of this kind we could also discuss what Stanley Sloan, the Director of the Atlantic Community Initiative, proposed in Vienna a few days ago. He expressed the opinion that the USA and Europe would have to find a common framework within which they could jointly bring the "soft power" arising from their shared values to bear in the world. It would certainly be worth talking about how much we could achieve in the world by this method without having to resort to military means.
An article on the subject in "Die Zeit" a few days ago stated that realpolitik in today's world could not depend solely on the reality of power, but had to recognise the effectiveness of values. I must say that I fully subscribe to this view.
Ultimately, however, the transatlantic reality we create is also a question of resources, resources that Europe must be willing to make available. Only by using these resources efficiently within the framework of a Common Security and Defence Policy will Europe be able to equip itself with the credibility it requires in today's world.
I am in absolutely no doubt that our dialogue with the USA also requires a new communications strategy aimed at better mutual understanding of the structures and working methods on both sides of the Atlantic. This should certainly also include increased efforts with regard to the EU's public diplomacy activities in the USA, such as, for example, the establishment of an EU Office in Washington for lobbying of Congress.
The importance of a clear-cut security policy concept is also reflected in Javier Solana's paper on EU security strategy, which he presented in Thessaloniki. This paper will represent an important basis for ensuring that the EU will actually be capable of upholding its strategic interests and fulfilling its strategic role in the world in the transatlantic context. In our view, at any rate, the European security concept must be a comprehensive one combining political, economic, social, ecological, cultural and military aspects.
One of its goals should be prevention of prevention, and by that I mean using non-military means to ensure that military prevention does not even become necessary in the first place. Of course, this also means ensuring that the latter cannot be ruled out from the start.
Having said this, the Charter of the United Nations continues to provide the basic framework for international relations. That is why it is important that we strengthen the UN in order to enable it to fulfil its responsibilities and take effective action.
I am convinced that this is a concept we will be able to agree upon with our American friends.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
At the foot of the hill on which Göttweig stands lies the town of Mautern, the ancient settlement of Favianis where St. Severin died in the year 482. Even back in Severin's times the Danube valley was a place of conflict and encounter between peoples and cultures. Severin acted as their mediator, thus paving the way for the synthesis that was the catalyst for the European Middle Ages.
The fact that Göttweig, with the European Forum Wachau, has today become an important meeting place for European policymakers, can be explained by its long tradition and by its geographical location in a region at the heart of a converging Europe.
I am sure, too, that this weekend's deliberations on Europe's new opportunities on the world stage through enlargement and reform will be fruitful and successful, and that they will help us make headway in thinking as Europeans.
Many thanks for your kind attention.

Italy needs to sell about €420 billion in 2013. The country had already met about 25% of that requirement before Wednesday's auction, taking advantage of more favorable market conditions in the last couple of months.
The country has accumulated about €2 trillion of debt, equivalent to some 127% of gross domestic product, the second-highest ratio in the eurozone after Greece.
Latest forecasts from the European Commission suggest Italy is on track to begin reducing that mountain of debt next year but for that to become a sustainable trend, the country badly needs to continue an economic overhaul begun over the past 12 months. That's unlikely to happen anytime soon given the political stalemate in Rome.
"It will be important to keep an eye on the rating agencies, who could well jangle nerves with another downgrade if policy uncertainty in Italy persists," noted Tristan Cooper, sovereign debt analyst at Fidelity, adding the negative market reaction to the election could provide an opportunity to buy into peripheral eurozone debt at higher yields.

I wish I could attend this. I have many questions on the use and need of the CPA surcharge taxes. Hopefully someone else will challenge this non-accountable entity.

This is hysterical! Does anyone really think any public input would be worth anything to this organization? It is nice window dressing but the CPA is tightly controlled by a few in town that will spend it how they deem necessary. Public input not needed.

Who is a volunteer? One who comes to help, without being asked to help; one who is self-motivated, inspired, becomes a volunteer.
There is the possibility of the inspirational motivation going down in a volunteer, which could bring frustration. Usually volunteers come from the space of demand rather than humility – this dilutes the quality.
Another slack that could happen to a volunteer is that they could slip away from commitment, thinking there is no 'boss' – "If I like it, I do it; if I don't like it, I don't!" It is like the steering wheel of a car – if all the tires say they do not need steering, then the car cannot run smoothly. If you want to construct a building, you have to accept the authority of the structural engineer.
All these can only be overcome by being more grounded in spiritual knowledge. A volunteer devoid of spiritual dimension is utterly weak.
The joy is immediate – it does not come on the first of every month in the form of a salary! When a volunteer realizes this, he is filled with gratitude. When a volunteer waivers from within, the support system is knowledge and good friends.

Please, click here to read this article in pdf format: december-2-2010
Again, most of the action this week has been driven by speculation on the future of the European Union. Let's begin today by repeating what we left with a week ago, when we changed our view, radically, on the survival of the Euro:
"…We think the EU is far more serious about the survival of the Euro than we had previously thought. The problem is nevertheless still institutional, the Euro will have to continue depreciating and fiscal austerity will remain in place…" (www.sibileau.com/martin/2010/11/24 )
In the past days, we have been contacted by readers asking for our view on the situation in Europe. We answered, consistent with the writing above, that the key here is the European Central Bank. We said we agreed with Mr. Trichet's comment yesterday, in that we also thought the markets were underestimating the determination and capability of the Central Bank. A bit of this has been corrected yesterday, and some analysts have gone on record calling yesterday's action a typical dead bounce cat. We wouldn't be so sure about it…
If you think about it, the European Central Bank has not yet engaged into what we know as quantitative easing. Yes, it has bought sovereign debt directly or indirectly by purchasing bank debt guaranteed by the sovereign (i.e. Greece) but these purchases, unlike the case of Helicopter Ben, have been all sterilized through its Securities Market Program facility, which up to last week had the equivalent of EUR66BN in term deposits from the banks, as the chart below shows:
As you can see from the chart above, if the European Central Bank (ECB) simply let the term deposits expire, liquidity would be injected into the system, without the need to buy more government debt. If the problem is the government debt itself, because a sovereign refinancing is in the way, the ECB can always buy the issue, depreciating the Euro.
Before we move on, please note that the mechanism shown above may or not, in the short term, trigger a depreciation in the Euro, ceteris paribus. It will depend on the resulting rates spread with the USD. However, the depreciation is inevitable in the long term.
Now, we must not lose perspective of the fact that the European crisis, although fiscal and institutional in nature, carries the leverage created by its weak financial system, which is weak because the EU lacks a unified bond market. This brews an arbitrage between peripheral banks and core banks whereby depositors in a peripheral bank shift their deposits to a core bank (i.e. Deutsche Bank), precipitating what we saw in Ireland.
This therefore begs the question of whether the European Central Bank did not stand up to its responsibility, as lender of last resort, in Ireland. Personally, had we been in government there, we would have asked ourselves what benefit would be derived from remaining within the EU monetary union, if the issuer of the currency (i.e. the ECB) does not act as lender of last resort and allows deposits to leave our jurisdiction. After all, if the country needs to put their pension funds and tax revenue on the line to support its financial system…why the hell would it need Mr. Trichet's authority over their monetary matters? But then again, what do we know? It's a done deal and the we all want to focus on the next in line…right?
So, what's next? As we hinted in our last letter, we are more concerned about the US fiscal situation than that of Europe. We think the ECB will this time use its ammunition to prevent a run against Portugal and Spain and that it will be difficult to fight it. Of course, one can never underestimate the idiocy of policymakers, as when they introduced the idea of making senior bondholders of bank debt…well, not so senior…You certainly want to avoid this sort of language in the midst of a currency/financial crisis.
But in the US, we understand a bipartisan revision of spending is underway. We ignore how far it can go but the fact that it is taking place is a sign to us of what may be coming next. Below, we mention other "interesting signs":
-Credit spreads of gold mining companies (i.e. Barrick Gold, Newmont Mining) are trading at lower levels than financials (excluding Canadian banks) and within the range of Germany's
-The Euribor-OIS spread, after all the stress of recent weeks, remains reasonably low
-The price of oil remains impressively above $80/bbl
-Activity and prices (not just asset prices) in the US are picking up, in line with the price of gold
-The curves of Euro sovereign spreads are pricing the issuance of AAA debt under the European Financial Stabilization Facility
And there is more…but for now, these are enough to tell us that a major proto-federal institutionalization is underway in Europe, while in the US it will be difficult if not impossible to revert an upcoming explicit inflation.
Martin Sibileau.

How many applications are usually received?
Our records show that there are over 400 Vermeer employee dependents that were in the age range of typical college students and could have applied in 2011. 83 dependents started the scholarship application and 67 completed the application. This is fairly typical of the numbers from year to year – usually the number of completed applications may be a little higher. Needless to say, this is a very competitive scholarship with many qualified applicants. Please refer to the question regarding what the scholarship is based on for further details. The Vermeer Charitable Foundation is allowed by law to give scholarships to only a percentage of the applicants.

Tom, do not worry about it. I hope your week is going good. Have a graet rest of the week and be safe.
Tom, Sorry it took me awhile to get back to you I had to do a little asking around but I found out the right answers about the water tanks. Yes there is a water source at Baboquivari campground at the carbon from this side of the mountain it's the only water source there. Yes there is no water source on the mountain itself. There are no water tanks on Baboquivari there are only windmills the only water tank that is close to the mountain is the one that is in the village that's there. Always here to help. God Bless. You're Friend, Florine
Hope this finds you having the start of a great weekend my friend, take care and enjoy!
Tom, no I do not work in private security. I work at a bait and tackle shop. I know Florida has been hit hard with the economy, there are not many jobs. If you need any help, let me know. Have a great weekend and be safe.
almost 2 years ago
Tom, Great to hear from you. It's now been three days without the rain, will really can't say that about the mountains they been getting a lot of it. So when you get Baboquivari it will be really green. Looking forward to meeting you. Be well and stay safe. God Bless Your Dear Friend Florine.

Tom, Sorry that it tacking me awhile to get back to you, it sure is the monsoon season now, barley in the second week of the season. It's has finely been two days without the rain. So we have been busy cleaning up and fixing the roads and getting all of sands out of the washes. Ajo finely got there power back on today after a bad storm hit that Sunday. Well take care and stay safe. Florine
Just stopping by to say Hi ! Just got back few days ago from being up in Arizona for 6 days. Had a really great time. I just barely missed being stranded by the big dust storm that hit, as my plane took off just before it happened. I did get to see a awesome thunder storm the evening before. Hope you had a great weekend and things are going great for you Take care and stay safe.
Hello Tom, Sorry I dent get back to right away. It's been really crazy here we have been having storm after storm on the rez, I have to say last night was the second worse one. I spent most of the morning driving around in the communities looking to see if there was any manger damage. There's was a few damage here and there like down patio, flooded barns, and more down trees other than that we made it through. The news guys said it going to clear and sunny day today, but that look like that not going to last long the clouds are building up fast.

CUPERTINO, Calif. -- There was little of the expected fireworks at Apple's annual meeting Wednesday as shareholders overwhelming reelected all board members and backed the company's position on several proposed changes to Apple's bylaws.
However, shareholders hoping for word of a rumored stock split, or news that Apple might increase its dividends or buy back more of its stock, were disappointed. Chief Executive Tim Cook said the company continues to discuss its growing cash balance, and that he shared investors' concern about a share price that has plunged more than 30% from last summer.
"I know that what must be on at least some of your minds is the share price," Cook said. "I don't like it. The board doesn't like it."
Apple's stock was down another $4.30 or .96% to $444.67 in midday trading. The stock is well off its September high of $702.10.
The proposals being considered Wednesday did not include a controversial ballot measure that was removed after a judge's ruling last week. David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital successfully sued to block Proposal No. 2 which would have, among other things, limited the board's ability to issue preferred stock without shareholder authorization.
QUIZ: Test your Apple knowledge
Einhorn has been lobbying Apple for a year to issue such stock as a way to return to shareholders some of the $120 billion in cash the company has on hand.
Cook had previous labeled the lawsuit a "silly sideshow," and was asked by a shareholder at the meeting whether he still felt that way after losing the legal battle.
"I absolutely do," he said, adding that the judge's ruling didn't change his mind.
Two representatives of major shareholders who have been critical of Apple's governance practices in the past rose to speak in favor of Proposal No. 2, even though it was no longer on the ballot.
One of them, Anne Simpson, director of global governance for the California Public Employees Retirement Fund, or CalPERS, praised Apple's board for placing the measure on the ballot, saying it was a pro-shareholder reform.
"I think it's a matter of great regret for long-term shareholders that you have had to withdraw this proposal," she said.
Simpson said she had learned that before the measure had been blocked, 98% of shareholders had voted in favor of it. Simpson said it was unfair that a measure that would benefit shareholders and was overwhelming supported had been blocked by Greenlight Capital.

- Damage: tomato sauce stains, including dried-on seeds
I'm half-Italian by heritage, but grew up eating boxed pasta, bottled sauce and cheese from a cardboard shaker. Mario Batali's restaurants - Babbo, Otto, Lupa and Esca - were a revelation to me when I made the move to New York City in the '90s. This cookbook - a gift from my niece and nephew - empowered me to attempt to embrace my culinary heritage at home by making fresh pasta, antipasti, meats, fish and sauces. I got my hands dirty making gnocchi, bruschetta and sauce, and the pages got caught in the crossfire. (It's at the top of the replacement list.)
3. Cocktail: The Drinks Bible for the 21st Century - Paul Harrington and Laura Moorhead
- Damage: binding destroyed, pages free-floating
I wrote about this a while back in a post sharing the five cookbooks that changed the way I think about food and drinks. It's only gotten more decrepit on the outside, since then, but its contents remain essential.
As I said then, I didn't drink much in college and grad school. It wasn't a matter of morality or self-restraint - just that I was intensely focused on other things, and if I was going to dive into the world of drink, I wanted to do it right. In the late '90s, Wired Magazine's now-defunct drink-centric website Cocktailtime.com became a semi-obsession for me, because they CARED. Oh, did they give a hang about the geeky details - ice cube size, glass shapes, shaking strategies and historical accuracy. I'll drink to that. Frequently, in fact.
Way back when, the notion of wi-fi and web-enabled smart phones seemed like the stuff of science fiction, so I bought the associated book. I make, if I may say so, a thoroughly splendid Sidecar, Jack Rose, Do Be Careful, Pegu Club or whatever classic cocktails might wet my guests' whistles. It's all because of this book, and that's evidenced in the fact that I've had to tape and re-tape the pages in the proper order and crack apart pages glued together by spilled simple syrup. I'd go ahead and replace the darn thing if used copies didn't start at around $75 - or $150 if you'd like one untouched by any other mixologist's paws.
4. Salt to Taste: The Keys to Confident, Delicious Cooking - Marco Canora
- Damage: olive oil so seeped in, the pages are translucent
Chef Canora is at the helm of Hearth restaurant (my favorite in all of New York City) and his soulful, seasonally-attuned, "cucina povera" style of cooking draws the most possible flavor out of humble ingredients. His easy-to-follow techniques have become part of my everyday arsenal, and if there's one thing this book has taught me, it's that patience, salt, herbs and olive oil can transform just about any ingredient in your refrigerator into a satisfying meal. And did I mention the olive oil? If you buy this book, invest in a gallon jug. You'll need it.

Queen confirmed that Fire Capt. Jed Jebodiah Moore, 32, was arrested Oct. 18 in Bartow County on one charge of DUI. He said Moore told the department immediately of the incident.
"We do take incidents like this seriously," Queen said. "It is being handled by the fire department."
Queen said a fire deputy chief investigates incidents like this and has done an initial investigation. Queen said he is waiting on the deputy chief's final recommendation for discipline.
"Discipline will be carried out and implemented based on city policies and procedures," Queen said.
Queen said Moore is not on administrative leave because the department is moving very quickly with the investigation and disciplinary actions. He said a move to discipline the firefighter will happen by the end of this week.

All-Delco Swimming: Quintet of Episcopal swimmers on 2012 team
In addition to Swimmers of the Year Emily Baturka, of The Episcopal Academy and Shane Ryan, of Haverford High, the 2011-12 All-Delco swimming and diving team includes:
Rachel Repke, Episcopal Academy: The junior finished fifth in the 100 breaststroke at Easterns, with her preliminary time of 1 minute, 5.20 seconds setting the standard as the fastest in the county this season in her third All-Delco campaign. That time was within a tenth of a second of the Delco record she set a season ago. Repke also swam the breaststroke leg on EA's Easterns-winning 200 medley relay, which improved upon the Delco record it set a season ago.
Emily Rhodes, Episcopal Academy: The repeat All-Delco posted the fastest 100 butterfly time in Delco by almost three seconds this season. Her time of 56.50 in the Easterns final displaced the Delco record set by Garnet Valley's Jen Ritins in 1985 en route to a second-place finish. Rhodes was also part of EA's victorious medley relay and finished sixth in the 100 backstroke at Easterns to round out a trio of Churchmen in the top 6 of that event.
Bernadette Tankle, Episcopal Academy: Perhaps EA's most versatile swimmer, the sophomore and two-time All-Delco finished fifth in the 100 butterfly at Easterns in 58.53 seconds. She won the B final at Easterns in the 100 free after entering the evening session seeded 10th. Tankle also swam legs in the Churchmen's Delco record-setting 200 and 400 free relays.
Tara O'Prey, Episcopal Academy: O'Prey came up big when her team needed her most, turning the sixth-fastest time at Eastern's prelims into a bronze medal in finals with a season-best time of 24.00 seconds in the 50 freestyle. The Ridley native and three-time All-Delco anchored the Churchmen's winning 200 medley relay and led off the 200 free relay that finished second at Easterns and set a Delco record. She also finished ninth in the 100 breaststroke at Easterns.
McKenzie Street, Episcopal Academy: The Norwood resident burst onto the scene as a freshman, establishing herself as a key player in EA's deep arsenal. An individual medley specialist whose best time in that event (2:07.23) was the fastest in the county among All-Delco eligible swimmers by almost six seconds, Street became a key cog on EA's Delco-record setting 200 and 400 freestyle relays. She added A-final appearances in the IM (third) and 100 breaststroke (sixth) at Easterns.
Dominique Montoya, Ridley: The Delaware-bound senior leaves the Green Raiders having secured every freestyle school record. She finished second at districts with a time of 24.42 seconds in the 50, and her 24.33 was good for 17th at the PIAA Championships. Montoya posted the fastest 200 free time in the county this year (1:57.60) in an event which wasn't even included in her postseason program, and she was the only Delco swimmer to go under 53 seconds off a flat start in the 100 free with the 52.94 she split off the front of Ridley's program-record 400 free relay at Districts.
Lauren Early, Garnet Valley: The Central League's co-swimmer of the year, with Montoya, the junior set a meet record at Centrals by winning the 100 breaststroke in 1:05.98, a personal best that beat the field by a full three seconds. She added a second-place finish at districts and a fifth at the PIAA Championships, the highest among District One swimmers, with a finals time of 1:06.03. She also finished ninth at Districts in the 200 IM.
Marin Bloise, Agnes Irwin School: A freshman, Bloise's lengthy list of accomplishments includes a bronze medal at Easterns with her 11-dive tally of 429.60, a score that was just 16 points off the winning score from the 2011 meet and an improvement of 26 points from her fifth-place finish as an eighth-grader. She set a school record and Episcopal Academy pool record of 226.65 over six dives in a dual meet in January.
Spenser Jenkins, Haverford: The senior made the decision to swim three relays at districts instead of two individual events, a decision that paid off in three swims at the PIAA Championships. He automatically qualified for the 100 fly by finishing fourth at districts and improved his seed from 16th to 15th after prelims to a 10th-place finish with a personal-best time of 51.50 seconds at Bucknell. Jenkins was also part of the Fords' 400 freestyle relay which finished eighth at states. Continued...
Kevin Hartnett, Radnor: Despite losing a chunk of the season due to injury, Hartnett made up for lost time in the postseason by qualifying for States. The Red Raiders senior turned a fourth-place finish at Centrals into a States berth at Districts by finishing ninth. His time of 53.44 at Districts was a personal best, and he improved on his seed at States to finish 26th. The Gettysburg-bound senior also added a 13th-place finish at districts in the 100 backstroke.
Connor O'Prey, Haverford School: A two-time All-Delco, O'Prey rose to the occasion at the Fords' biggest meet, helping them claim a third-place finish at Easterns, the best finish in program history. O'Prey shaved almost two seconds off his seed time to finish second in 50.83 seconds, the second-fastest time in Delco this season. He added a bronze in the 100 breast, again after a significant time drop, in the fastest time in Delco this season (57.76 seconds in prelims). O'Prey also swam the breaststroke leg on the silver-medal winning medley relay that set a Delco record.
Andrew Helber, Haverford School: The Princeton-bound senior was far and away the county's best IMer, an event at which he won the B final at Easterns with a Delco-best time of 1:55.71 (in prelims). He added a fourth-place finish in the 100 backstroke at Easterns. Helber's name is on the Delco record board for two relays: As the leadoff backstroke leg of the 200 medley relay and a swim in the 400 freestyle relay. His leadoff leg in the 400 free relay final set a school record in the 100 free (46.94).
Jimmy Jameson, Haverford School: Jameson, the lone junior among the six boys All-Delco swimmers, also celebrated an outstanding weekend at Easterns, shaking off an illness just days before the meet. He finished third in the 100 fly finals in 51.30 seconds, a spot behind O'Prey after droping .7 seconds from his prelims time. He added an 11th-place finish in the 100 free. Jameson was the butterflier on the Delco-record setting 200 medley relay and brought home the record-setting 400 free relay.
Josh Owsiany, Episcopal Academy: The freshman has already accomplished in two years of varsity competition more than most will in their entire careers. He clobbered the field at Easterns with his winning score of 484.00 over 11 dives, head and shoulders better than the field. His nearest competition was a distant 87 points behind. He is already the school record holder for six dives, having turned in the rare feat of eclipsing the 300-point mark with his 305.03 racked up in a dual meet against Germantown Academy.

Reproclaiming the Everlasting Gospel
The following material is taken from an ongoing conversation. But even so, it seemed worth publishing here.
Hello ****,
In our conversations, something has been winking at me off and on. But I have not captured it until now. In all our discussions, I have lost sight of the most important aspect. I apologize for my slowness here.
What I have neglected concerns the offices or functions of Christ. In so far as I have read and have conversed with others, this is not a…

Among other things, I am a woodturner. From experience, I can state that it is possible to do a lot of things with dull tools. But if you ever come to use a properly sharpened tool, you will never again be satisfied with dullness.
This is the distinction between a life lived hearing and obeying the voice of Christ, the prophet like Moses whom God has raised up, and a life lived subjugated to any man-made discipline you care to name.
The reason for the difference is that hearing…

What seemed to me to be the best insight during our Fox Reading Conference Call came in response to a statement Fox made in Sermon III regarding walking by faith rather than by sight. Peter Glass pointed out that, contrary to our logic, faith is a stronger, more reliable sense than sight. This must be understood in the context of the sermon we were reading where this faith is the gift of God, written on the heart by Jesus; not the result of my efforts to believe something…
