Give Me Some Crowding-Out
I just read, a few days late, a very instructive Op-Ed by Otmar Issing for the Financial Times. The zest of the argument is in the first few lines, that are worth quoting:
Imagine you are asked to give advice to a country on its economic policy. The country enjoys near-full employment; its growth is above, or at least at full potential. There is no under-usage of resources – what economists call an output gap – and the government's budget is balanced, but the debt level is far above target. To top it all monetary policy is extremely loose.
This is exactly the situation in Germany. Recently forecasts for growth have been revised downwards, but so far the overall assessment is unchanged. At present there is no indication of the country heading towards recession. Inflation is low but there is no risk of deflation. From a purely national point of view Germany needs a much less expansionary monetary policy than it is getting from the European Central Bank. This is a strong argument why fiscal policy should not be expansionary, too.
Where is the economic textbook that argues that such a country should run a deficit to stimulate the economy? There is hardly a convincing argument for such advice.
The quote is a perfect example of what is wrong with mainstream thinking in German academic and policy circles. First, the incapacity to fully appreciate to what extent the German national interest is linked to the wider fate of the eurozone. From a purely national point of view, Germany needs stronger growth in the eurozone, its main trading partner. And it needs higher inflation at home and abroad. Which means that no, monetary policy is not too expansionary for Germany, as Issing claims.
But there is a more important issue: Issing seems not to grasp that the problem with the German economy is that it is unbalanced. True, it is near full employment (even if much could be said about the quality of that employment), but it relies too much on exports and too little on domestic demand, with the result that it runs, since 2001, increasing current account deficits. To say it bluntly, Germany has been sitting on the shoulders of the rest of the world economy, and since 2010 it has been followed by the rest of the eurozone that is globally running trade surpluses. I have already said many times that this is a bad (and dangerous) strategy.
I do not know what textbooks Issing reads. Germany's intellectual tradition must include OrdoTextBooks. The ones I know say that expansionary fiscal policy, at full employment, crowds out private expenditure and exports. And guess what? This is exactly what Germany should do, for its own and its neighbours' welfare. And if at the same time private expenditure was also boosted, with wage increases (hey, don't listen to me; listen to the Bundesbank!) and incentives for investment, crowding out could be limited to foreign demand.
So, I read textbooks and I conclude that Otmar Issing is dead wrong. Germany should boldly expand domestic demand (public and private), thus overheating its economy, crowing out exports, and increasing inflation. The effect would be rebalancing of the German economy, growth in the rest of the eurozone, and relief in the rest of the world, for which we would stop being a drag.
Unfortunately this is not bound to happen anytime soon.
Confusion in Brussels
I already noticed how the post-Jackson Hole Consensus is inconsistent with the continuing emphasis of European policy makers on supply side measures. In these difficult times, the lack of a coherent framework seems to have become the new norm of European policy making. The credit for spotting another serious inconsistency this time goes to the Italian government. In the draft budgetary plan submitted to the European Commission (that might be rejected, by the way), buried at page 12, one can find an interesting box on potential growth and structural deficit. It really should be read, because it is in my opinion disruptive. To summarize it, here is what it says:
- A recession triggers a reduction of the potential growth rate (the maximum rate at which the economy can grow without overheating) because of hysteresis: unemployed workers lose skills and/or exit the labour market, and firms scrap productive processes and postpone investment. I would add to this that hysteresis is non linear: the effect, for example on labour market participation, of a slowdown, is much larger if it happens at the fifth year of the crisis than at the first one.
- According to the Commission's own estimates Italy's potential growth rate dropped from 1.4% on average in the 15 years prior to the crisis (very low for even European standards), to an average of -0.2% between 2008 and 2013. A very large drop indeed.
- (Here it becomes interesting). The box in the Italian plan argues that we have two possible cases:
- Either the extent of the drop is over-estimated, most probably as the result of the statistical techniques the Commission uses to estimate the potential. But, if potential growth is larger than estimated, then the output gap, the difference between actual and potential growth is also larger.
- As an alternative, the estimated drop is correct, but this means that Italy there is a huge hysteresis effect. A recession is not only, as we can see every day, costly in the short run; but, even more worryingly, it quickly disrupts the economic structure of the country, thus hampering its capacity to grow in the medium and long run.
The box does not say it explicitly (it remains an official government document after all), but the conclusion is obvious: either way the Commission had it wrong. If case A is true, then the stagnation we observed in the past few years was not structural but cyclical. This means that the Italian deficit was mainly cyclical (due to the large output gap), and as such did (and does) not need to be curbed. The best way to reabsorb cyclical deficit is to restart growth, through temporary support to aggregate demand. If case B is true, then insisting on fiscal consolidation since 2011 was borderline criminal. When a crisis risks quickly disrupting the long run potential of the economy, then it is a duty of the government to do whatever it takes to fight, in order to avoid that it becomes structural.
In a sentence: with strong hysteresis effects, Keynesian countercyclical policies are crucial to sustain the economy both in the short and in the long run. With weaker, albeit still strong hysteresis effects, a deviation from potential growth is cyclical, and as such it requires Keynesian countercyclical policies. Either way, fiscal consolidation was the wrong strategy.
I am not a fan of the policies currently implemented by the Italian government. To be fair, I am not a fan of the policies implemented by any government in Europe. Too much emphasis on supply side measures, and excessive fear of markets (yes, I dare say so today, when the spreads take off again). But I think the Italian draft budget puts the finger where it hurts.
The guys in Via XX Settembre dit a pretty awesome job…
Smoke Screens
I have just read Mario Draghi's opening remarks at the Brookings Institution. Nothing very new with respect to Jackson Hole and his audition at the European Parliament. But one sentence deserves commenting; when discussing how to use fiscal policy, Draghi says that:
Especially for those [countries] without fiscal space, fiscal policy can still support demand by altering the composition of the budget – in particular by simultaneously cutting distortionary taxes and unproductive expenditure.
So, "restoring fiscal policy" should happen, at least in countries in trouble, through a simultaneous reduction of taxes and expenditure. Well, that sounds reasonable. So reasonable that it is exactly the strategy chosen by the French government since the famous Jean-Baptiste Hollande press conference, last January.
Oh, wait. What was that story of balanced budgets and multipliers? I am sure Mario Draghi remembers it from Economics 101. Every euro of expenditure cuts, put in the pockets of consumers and firms, will not be entirely spent, but partially saved. This means that the short term impact on aggregate demand of a balanced budget expenditure reduction is negative. Just to put it differently, we are told that the risk of deflation is real, that fiscal policy should be used, but that this would have to happen in a contractionary way. Am I the only one to see a problem here?
But Mario Draghi is a fine economist, many will say; and his careful use of adjectives makes the balanced budget multiplier irrelevant. He talks about distortionary taxes. Who would be so foolish as not to want to remove distortions? And he talks about unproductive expenditure. Again, who is the criminal mind who does not want to cut useless expenditure? Well, the problem is that, no matter how smart the expenditure reduction is, it will remain a reduction. Similarly, even the smartest tax reduction will most likely not be entirely spent; especially at a time when firms' and households' uncertainty about the future is at an all-times high. So, carefully choosing the adjectives may hide, but not eliminate, the substance of the matter: A tax cut financed with a reduction in public spending is recessionary, at least in the short run.
To be fair there may be a case in which a balanced budget contraction may turn out to be expansionary. Suppose that when the government makes one step backwards, this triggers a sudden burst of optimism so that private spending rushes to fill the gap. It is the confidence fairy in all of its splendor. But then, Mario Draghi (and many others, unfortunately) should explain why it should work now, after having been invoked in vain for seven years.
Truth is that behind the smoke screen of Draghinomics and of its supposed comprehensive approach we are left with the same old supply side reforms that did not lift the eurozone out of its dire situation. It' s the narrative, stupid!
Walls Come Tumbling Down
Yesterday I quickly commented the disappointing growth data for Germany and for the EMU as a whole, whose GDP Eurostat splendidly defines "stable". This is bad, because the recovery is not one, and because we are increasingly dependent on the rest of the world for that growth that we should be able to generate domestically.
Having said that, the real bad news did not come from Eurostat, but from the August 2014 issue of the ECB monthly bulletin, published on Wednesday. Thanks to Ambrose Evans-Pritchard I noticed the following chart ( page 53):
The interesting part of the chart is the blue dotted line, showing that the forecasters' consensus on longer term inflation sees more than a ten points drop of the probability that inflation will stay at 2% or above. Ten points in just a year. And yet, just a few pages above we can read:
According to Eurostat's flash estimate, euro area annual HICP inflation was 0.4% in July 2014, after 0.5% in June. This reflects primarily lower energy price inflation, while the annual rates of change of the other main components of the HICP remained broadly unchanged. On the basis of current information, annual HICP inflation is expected to remain at low levels over the coming months, before increasing gradually during 2015 and 2016. Meanwhile, inflation expectations for the euro area over the medium to long term continue to be firmly anchored in line with the aim of maintaining inflation rates below, but close to, 2% (p. 42, emphasis added)
The ECB is hiding its head in the sand, but expectations, the last bastion against deflation, are obviously not firmly anchored. This can only mean that private expenditure will keep tumbling down in the next quarters. It would be foolish to hope otherwise.
So we are left with good old macroeconomic policy. I did not change my mind since my latest piece on the ECB. Even if the ECB inertia is appalling, even if their stubbornness in claiming that everything is fine (see above) is more than annoying, even if announcing mild QE measures in 2015 at the earliest is borderline criminal, it remains that I have no big faith in the capacity of monetary policy to trigger decent growth. The latest issue of the ECB bulletin also reports the results of the latest Eurozone Bank Lending Survey. They show a slow easing of credit conditions, that proceed in parallel with a pickup of credit demand from firms and households. While for some countries credit constraints may play a role in keeping private expenditure down (for example, in Italy), the overall picture for the EMU is of demand and supply proceeding in parallel. Lifting constraints to lending, in this situation, does not seem likely to boost credit and spending. It's the liquidity trap, stupid!
The solution seems to be one, and only one: expansionary fiscal policy, meaning strong increase in government expenditure (above all for investment) in countries that can afford it (Germany, to begin with); and delayed consolidation for countries with struggling public finances. Monetary policy should accompany this fiscal boost with the commitment to maintain an expansionary stance until inflation has overshot the 2% target.
For the moment this remains a mid-summer dream…
Praising the Bundesbank
I am puzzled by Wolfgang Münchau's latest piece in the Financial Times. Let me start by quoting the end:
[...] The ECB should have started large-scale asset purchase a year ago. It certainly should do so now. The EU should allow governments to overshoot their deficit targets this year, and suspend the fiscal compact, which will result in further fiscal pain from 2016.
Even a casual reader of this blog will quickly realize that it would be hard for me to agree more with these statements. The macroeconomic stance at the EMU level has been seriously inappropriate since 2010, with fiscal policy globally restrictive (thank you austerity), and monetary policy way too timid.
So, what is the problem? The problem is the first part of Münchau's editorial, in which he attacks the Bundesbank for its plea in favour of faster wage growth in Germany (the Buba asked for an average wage increase of 3%).
This is frankly hard to understand. The eurozone problems, and it's flirting with deflation, stem from the victory of the Berlin View, that laid the burden of adjustment on the shoulders of peripheral countries alone.
The call for wage increases in Germany signals, and it was about time, that even conservative German institutions are beginning to realize the obvious: there will be no rebalancing, and therefore no robust recovery, unless German domestic demand recovers. This means a fiscal expansion, as well as private expenditure recovery. Unsurprisingly, the Buba rules out the former, but it is nice to see that at least the latter has become an objective. Faster wage growth may not make a huge difference in quantitative terms, but it still marks an important change of attitude. This is a huge step away from the low-wage-high-productivity-export-led model that the Bundesbank and the German government have been preaching (and imposing to their partners).
Münchau is right in calling for a different policy mix in the EMU. But this is complementary, not alternative, to a change in the German growth model. I would have expected him to applaud a small but potentially important change in attitude. Instead I have read a virulent attack. Puzzled, puzzled…
ECB: Great Expectations
After the latest disappointing data on growth and
indeflation in the Eurozone, all eyes are on today's ECB meeting. Politicians and commentators speculate about the shape that QE, Eurozone edition, will take. A bold move to contrast lowflation would be welcome news, but a close look at the data suggests that the messianic expectation of the next "whatever it takes" may be misplaced.
Faced with mounting deflationary pressures, policy makers rely on the probable loosening of the monetary stance. While necessary and welcome, such loosening may not allow embarking the Eurozone on a robust growth path. The April 2014 ECB survey on bank lending confirms that, since 2011, demand for credit has been stagnant at least as much as credit conditions have been tight. Easing monetary policy may increase the supply for credit, but as long as demand remains anemic, the transmission of monetary policy to the real economy will remain limited. Since the beginning of the crisis, central banks (including the ECB) have been very effective in preventing the meltdown of the financial sector. The ECB was also pivotal, with the OMT, in providing an insurance mechanism for troubled sovereigns in 2012. But the impact of monetary policy on growth, on both sides of the Atlantic, is more controversial. This should not be a surprise, as balance sheet recessions increase the propensity to hoard of households, firms and financial institutions. We know since Keynes that in a liquidity trap monetary policy loses traction. Today, a depressed economy, stagnant income, high unemployment, uncertainty about the future, all contribute to compress private spending and demand for credit across the Eurozone, while they increase the appetite for liquidity. At the end of 2013, private spending in consumption and investment was 7% lower than in 2008 (a figure that reaches a staggering 18% for peripheral countries). Granted, radical ECB moves, like announcing a higher inflation target, could have an impact on expectations, and trigger increased spending; but these are politically unfeasible. It is not improbable, therefore, that a "simple" quantitative easing program may amount to pushing on a string. The ECB had already accomplished half a miracle, stretching its mandate to become de facto a Lender of Last Resort, and defusing speculation. It can't be asked to do much more than this.
While monetary policy is given almost obsessive attention, there is virtually no discussion about the instrument that in a liquidity trap should be given priority: fiscal policy. The main task of countercyclical fiscal policy should be to step in to sustain economic activity when, for whatever reason, private spending falters. This is what happened in 2009, before the hasty and disastrous fiscal stance reversal that followed the Greek crisis. The result of austerity is that while in every single year since 2009 the output gap was negative, discretionary policy (defined as change in government deficit net of cyclical factors and interest payment) was restrictive. In truth, a similar pattern can be observed in the US, where nevertheless private spending recovered and hence sustained fiscal expansion was less needed. Only in Japan, fiscal policy was frankly countercyclical in the past five years.
As Larry Summers recently argued, with interest rates at all times low, the expected return of investment in infrastructures for the United States is particularly high. This is even truer for the Eurozone where, with debt at 92%, sustainability is a non-issue. Ideally the EMU should launch a vast public investment plan, for example in energetic transition projects, jointly financed by some sort of Eurobond. This is not going to happen for the opposition of Germany and a handful of other countries. A second best solution would then be for a group of countries to jointly announce that the next national budget laws will contain important (and coordinated) investment provisions , and therefore temporarily break the 3% deficit limit. France and Italy, which lately have been vocal in asking for a change in European policies, should open the way and federate as many other governments as possible. Public investment seems the only way to reverse the fiscal stance and move the Eurozone economy away from the lowflation trap. It is safe to bet that even financial markets, faced with bold action by a large number of countries, would be ready to accept a temporary deterioration of public finances in exchange for the prospects of that robust recovery that eluded the Eurozone economy since 2008. A change in fiscal policy, more than further action by the ECB, would be the real game changer for the EMU. But unfortunately, fiscal policy has become a ghost. A ghost that is haunting Europe…
Wrong Debates
Paul Krugman has a short post on the Eurozone, today (I'd like him to write more about us; he has been too America-centered lately), pointing out that the myth of fiscal profligacy is, well, just a myth. in fact, he argues, the only fiscally irresponsible country, in the years 2000 was Greece. It is maybe worth reposting here a figure that from an old piece of this blog, that since then made it into all my classes on the Euro crisis:
The figure shows the situation of public finances in 2007, against the Maastricht benchmark (3% deficit and 60% debt) before the crisis hit. As Krugman says, only one country of the so-called PIIGS (the red dots) is clearly out of line, Greece. Portugal is virtually like France, and Spain and Ireland way better than most countries, including Germany. Italy has a stock of old debt, but its deficit in 2007 is under control.
So Krugman is right in reminding us that fiscal policy per se was not a problem before the crisis; And yet, what he calls fiscal myths, have shaped policies in the EMU, with a disproportionate emphasis on austerity. And even today, when economists overwhelmingly discuss unconventional measures available to the ECB to contrast deflation, fiscal policy is virtually absent from the debate and continued fiscal consolidation is taken for granted. I will write more on this in the next days, but it is striking how we aim at the wrong target.

A plane with a banner reading "Free Payton" flew over the New Orleans Saints' practice Thursday, reports The Advocate's Sheldon Mickles.
Mickles reports the plane, which flew over the training camp practice for 15 minutes, is owned by "Saints fan and United Airlines pilot Philip Marshall" and was paid for by fans upset at the year-long suspension of head coach Sean Payton.
The group also runs the website FreePayton.org.
"We're going to set a world record," group member Randolph Chapman told Mickles. "We're going to fly every day until they release him."Payton was suspended for his alleged role in the bounty program run by former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams.

AraabMUZIK On Collaborating With Skrillex And Diplo On Upcoming Album
AraabMUZIK is prepping his sophomore album, currently untitled, for sometime in 2013. Today, speaking to Billboard, he revealed he'll be working with Skrillex, Diplo, 12th Planet and Zeds Dead on it. In terms of a dream collaboration, he says, "My dream already came true with everyone that I want to work with. It's a good place to be in, production-wise!"
To keep his growing fan-base satisfied, he's planning a remix album with Ultra Records slated for early next year, and says his Soundcloud will be very active with plenty of bonus content.
While AraabMUZIK remains heavy within the hip-hop community, working recently with Joe Budden, Fabolous, Styles P and others, he also touched on adding DJing to his schedule with his live show. "They are both equal. I'm an artist now. When I go into the studio now to work on my own material, I'll be in artist mode. I'll be both together."
If fans thought he was turned up in 2012, it sounds like the "MVP of the MPC" will look to top this one with an album, plenty of touring and, of course, much more production in the works.

Best West/South Bay Bun Bo Hue?
- c
- charliemyboy Jan 18, 2008 09:14 PM
At a business lunch 4 or 5 years ago I was treated to a bowl of bun bo hue at a restaurant that was said to have the best in the area. I remembered it as being on 4th Street in San Jose, but was unable to find it today so I settled for another place called Dakao Resaurant and was very satisfied with their bun bo hue. I am now hooked on this soup but have no idea which places have the best reputations for this dish. Can anyone suggest a mid-Peninsula place with good bun bo hue? If the best are further south I'd also be interested in those restaurant names for my occasional trips to SJ.

re: Melanie Wong
Thanks for letting me know--I hadn't realized that was possible.
Bun Bo Hue An Nam

re: sfbing
Thanks for taking care of that. And, my comment was directly generally and not specifically for you. It bears repeating periodically, as the Places entries often are at the top of a google search and the first place that newcomers will find Chowhound info.
I think this place on 4th Street in San Jose that you taked about closed for awhile and re-opened in both Santa Clara and in San Jose. The place is called Ca Mau and New Ca Mau. They are located in San Jose and Santa Clara respectively.
Bun Bo Hue An Nam is also very good so I think anyone of these places would work.
As for stuff on the Peninsula - I have tried many and none have really made the cut. When I use to live in San Mateo the one at Pho Saigon would sometimes be just ok but not really. I think I had it at Ang Hong once and didn't like theirs at all.
Normally, I'd echo the rec for BBH An Nam on Story Road (I haven't been to the other locations), but my visit about a month ago was pretty disappointing. The beef (both the muscle & the connective tissue) was tough, ie not cooked long enough, the broth almost devoid of heat, and the noodles too soft. Also the side of julienned veggies was almost all cabbage, not much banana flower. So different from my past visits. I was hearing/reading downhill reports since they opened the 2nd location, but I didn't expect it to be such a steep downhill.
My photo below. Note lack of red oil droplets. Maybe I should've asked for extra-spicy but normally you don't have to say anything and you'd get a nice spice level. Oops, photo didn't get attached. Go to this link for photo:
re: Alice Patis
Your noodles do look too soft.
It was a little rocky two months ago, but I had a bowl on Sunday which was very nice. Plenty of banana blossoms, maybe a little too generous with the pork blood. Here's hoping they're just getting some kinks out.
I *love* BBH, and I also love BBH An Nam, but I think My Khe (specializes in Central Vietnamese food) down the street is pretty good (though it's a little bit more hole-in-the-wall than BBH An Nam). While I can't guarantee that you'll love it (since it's been awhile for me), it's at least another place to try :) If not, their appetizers are delicious.
Anyone try Bun Bo Hue San Jose on Capitol? I had a decent bowl there in November, broth was homier than An Nam but still complex. The meats weren't as tender either but they give you a generous amount.
Bun Bo Hue San Jose
1631 E Capitol Expy, San Jose, CA 95121
I recently had an excellent bun bo hue at Bun Bo Hue An Am on Story Road in San Jose. The bowl was crammed full of great tasting ingredients. The pork pieces were tender and chewy with a nice mix of fat and meat and great flavor. There were strips of a kind of pate which was even more flavorful. The beef pieces were just OK. The ox penis had a tendon-like texture but didn't seem to thicken the broth the way tendon does. The pork blood cakes were more flavorful than most. I prefer the thinner noodles I usually get in pho but maybe BBH is supposed to have thicker noodles.
I was a little disappointed in the broth. It was less intense than my memory of past BBH. I expected it to be redder, spicier and oilier. Maybe they dumb it down for pale-skinned customers. Even so, the quality and quantity of the other ingredients made this a great bowl of soup.

Jim Reeves An Old Christmas Card Lyrics
Last updated: 12/25/2012 09:43:18 AM
There's an Old Christmas Card in an old dusty trunk
And it brings back sweet memories dear to me
'Though it's faded and worn, it's as precious as the morn
When I found it 'neath our first Christmas tree
I thrill with every word, every line
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time
Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer
It's the memory of an Old Christmas Card
You know, I don't know why I get to feeling sentimental
about this time, every year
But every time I see a Christmas card,
I somehow can't help reminiscing
About the very first Christmas that you and I spent together
What a beautiful Christmas card you gave me that year
Why I know you must have looked through thousands of cards
To find that wonderful poem that still brings a tear to my eyes
Repeat chorus
Thanks to Richard Kaminski for submitting An Old Christmas Card Lyrics.

From the leader in vitamin B-complexes, comes Country Life's most advanced "coenzymated" formulation yet. This powerful and revolutionary complex provides essential B-vitamins in a form the body can use. This new formula supports increased energy production, nervous system support, and sugar metabolism.
Coenzyme B-Complex Advanced includes next generation essential B-vitamins not found in other products:
Country Life is unique to include NADH. NADH is a coenzyme found in all living organisms that supports energy production. As it is derived from dietary niacin, it is its own true coenzyme.
Benfotiamine is the next level of Vitamin B-1 that is fat soluble, allowing it to quickly convert in the body. This vitamin supports a healthy nervous system.
Then comes PQQ, which has been proposed as the next essential B-vitamin. PQQ has been shown to help increase mitochondria production. Mitochondria are the power plants inside each cell that produce energy.
And as with all Country Life's Coenzyme B-complexes, this formula contains Methyl Folate. Country Life uses a patented form called Quatrefolic, a new and improved fourth generation of folate. Folic acid is known to be critical in the maintenance of the nervous system.
Suggested Use

An adaptation. For my wife... who loves animals.
|"Where we goin' again, Bud? Huh? Where we goin'?" The two bears, one huge, and one so small he looked like a cub were sauntering through a densely wooded area. The larger one lagged behind, walking almost reluctantly on all fours.
"I've told you six times since breakfast. Now c'mon, keep up."
"Tell me again, Bud. Please?" the big bear whined. He had stopped and sat down against a tree, indicating he would not continue until his friend told him a seventh time.
Bud stopped and looked at him. He knew he should be irritated. He just couldn't help but feel for his companion. The big lug had a way of getting under your skin, and into your heart.
"Okay, I'll tell you once more. Then we have to make some time. Deal?"
"Okay, Bud." His face lit up when he realized he would get his way. "Deal!"
A stern look crept over Bud's face. "You have to promise this time, Lonnie."
Lonnie looked down at his big paw as if examining it for ants. "Okay," he said quietly. "I promise."
Bud padded over and nestled into the tall grass next to his monstrous charge. Lonnie was older than he but just a child in mind. He would never get any smarter. Bud, no more than a cub himself, had promised Lonnie's mother before she died of a gunshot wound that he would look after him.
"Do you remember that place I told you about, Lonnie, our dream?"
"You mean the place where dare are so many simons? In dat place dat they will jump right out of the river for us? Is dat the place, Bud? Is it?" The big bear now looked at him with a dreamy, excited look. Bud knew that Lonnie knew this story word for word. After a pause, he continued.
"That's right, that's the place. It's a river up north a ways. When we get there, we're going to settle right down, find us a nice big den and fish everyday for SALMON." He said the word slowly, feeling his own excitement build. "No more berries and leaves for us, no sir."
Lonnie chimed in, "Nope, no more leaves for us, just simon from dat river."
Bud put his small paw on his big friend's shoulder. "It is going to be the good life for us."
"Tell me about the squirrels, Bud, tell me about dem."
"Well…," Bud began, but Lonnie jumped in like he always did, and told his favorite part. "Dare's gonna' be lots of squirrels dat' live in dem' trees by the river. Dare's gonna' be a hunnerd' squirrels in every tree an I can play with dem' if I promise not to break no more of dem'. Ain't dat right, Bud? ain't it right?"
Bud stood up and stretched. Lonnie copied him, looking ridiculous. "That's right, you big lug, now come on and let's get moving. We're near some houses now and we don't want to hang around."
Now Bud looked worried. "Houses, like with peoples in dem?"
"Yeah, but don't worry. So long as you don't go near them again, we'll be okay." Bud stood up on his hind legs and got right into his friend's face. With Lonnie on all fours, it was all he could do to be eye level with him.
"Lonnie, do you remember what happened the last time you let that overgrown curiosity get the better of you? Do you remember all the trouble we were in because you went near the houses that time?"
Lonnie didn't answer. He tried to look down at his front paws again. Bud reached up and swatted him as hard as he could across his snout. "This is important, Lonnie. Do you remember?"
Lonnie recoiled; a hurt look crossed his simple face. "Yeah, I remember. Dem people was mad and dey chased us wit dogs."
"That's right. They chased us with dogs. And they would have caught us too, if I hadn't of pushed your big, fat butt across that stream and into the big woods."
"I remember dem."
"Good! Don't you ever forget them, either. We could have been killed. Now let's keep moving." Bud wanted to tell him that the real reason they needed to hurry was that he knew people were still tracking them. He had picked up their scent yesterday evening and had forced Lonnie on through most of the night.
They traveled the rest of that day and long after the moon had risen. Bud was tired and irritated at the slow progress and constant delays. Lonnie very frequently sidetracked. If he wasn't stopping to munch on wild berries, he was off in a new direction chasing after the squirrel that played in the trees above them. At one point, Bud had almost lost his temper when the big bear had walked along a stream's muddy bank, leaving his huge footprints everywhere.
Bud had been using misdirection with zigzags. He had led Lonnie through the roughest terrain and densest woods to try to dissuade their pursuers but the best trick he knew was too complicated for his friend to understand. It would have been much to their advantage if he could teach Lonnie to backtrack by stepping in their own footprints until they reached the stream and then moving downstream before continuing. This was always hard for a dog to track and down right impossible for a human. The maneuver was completely lost on Lonnie.
About two hours before sun-up, his big partner had been too tired to continue. Bud was ready to stop as well but still chastised him on how much time and energy they had wasted chasing squirrels. He coaxed Lonnie under the limbs of a huge fir tree that hid most of him. Bud lay down by the edge of a natural lea, and kept watch until he fell asleep. He never understood why humans always traveled through a field when the cover is better in the trees and brush. It worried him that they were so fearless.
HUMANS! Bud came awake instantly. His powerful sense of smell detected them and they were close. This time, however, he did not smell dogs. That could only mean one thing. The humans were trying to be quiet. He scanned the open field and saw no one. He scampered back to the tree to get Lonnie. He was completely surprised to find his friend gone. It was at that moment that he heard the gunshot not fifty yards from him. Lonnie must have woken up and gone to look for him. When the Lord made Lonnie, He left out a few important things; Lonnie had the brain of a cub and no sense of smell or direction. Bud did not think Lonnie would survive a single day without him. He also thought that Lonnie would someday get them both killed.
He hurried to where the shot came from. He arrived just in time to see Lonnie crush a human under his massive weight by falling on him from a standing position. Lonnie lay still. Bud watched for a few moments, testing the air and waiting to see if there were more humans. He could smell them. They were close but not in the immediate vicinity. He trotted down to see if his friend had met the same fate as his mother had while trying to protect him.
Lonnie was unhurt. He was lying on top of the human as if to keep him from moving. When Lonnie saw Bud he sat up, completely forgetting the human beneath him.
"Lonnie, what happened? What have you done?"
"I was looking at the squirrels in the trees, is all." Lonnie looked down at his paws, saw the man lying there and quickly looked in another direction. "I'm sorry, Bud. Lonnie is so sorry. I forgot, didn't I Bud? Lonnie forgot again."
Bud nudged the bigger bear with his nose. "Get off and let me see." Bud stared at the human for a long time. "This is bad, Lonnie. This is very bad. They will never stop hunting us now, never."
Lonnie started to cry. "I'm sorry," he said in a low voice.
Bud thought for a long time. He kept turning it over in his head but he just couldn't see any way to fix this. Bud doubted whether Lonnie even remembered why he was crying.
"Do you know what I found this morning, Lonnie?" Lonnie stopped crying and looked at him, curious. "What, Bud, what did you find?"
"Darnedest thing I ever saw. There is a huge river. Simons are jumping out of the water. There is a bunch of trees, too. Full of squirrels, they were, just full of them."
Suddenly, Lonnie was excited. He jumped up and down saying, "Where, Bud, where did you see our dream? Where is it, Bud, tell Lonnie!"
"I'll do you one better than that, buddy. I'll show you. But you have got be quiet and do exactly as I tell you, okay? You have to promise or we can't go."
Lonnie stopped his jumping and stood perfectly still. He looked Bud right in the eyes and said, very distinctly, "I promise!"
"Follow me, but stay quiet. Not a peep." Then he moved off in the direction of the field. When they arrived at the edge of the open field, Bud scented the air. He figured he had just enough time. He turned to his friend. "Okay, Lonnie. This is what we have to do, okay. If you want to see the river with the salmon and all the squirrels, you have to stand right here. I'm going to go over there and find just the right spot. The place where all the best squirrel are and a cave that we can live in."
"And live the good life!" Lonnie added, enthusiastically.
"Exactly, live the good life," Bud said. "Now you have to stay right here until you see me come out of the woods on the other side. Then I want you to run over as fast as you can. Okay? As fast as you can!"
When Lonnie had agreed that he would not go off chasing squirrels and understood exactly what to do, Bud edged his way around the clearing until he was exactly opposite of Lonnie, but back where Lonnie couldn't see him. Then he tested the air and waited. He hoped, given Lonnie's attention span, that it would not be long.
Sure enough, after only a minute, he smelled, then saw several humans stop at the edge of the field. They were checking the field, searching for them. He looked across at his huge friend. Lonnie was standing perfectly still, watching this side intently. Bud knew that if he left now, Lonnie would hang around here all day. At least, until some squirrels caught his attention or the men killed him.
At that moment, something in Bud's heart broke. Tears came streaming down his cheeks. He felt as if he were going to die. He took two huge breaths, then closed his eyes and said aloud. "Goodbye, my friend. I'm doing this because I love you." Then he stepped out to the edge of the field.
Instantly, Lonnie lunged out into the open and started running joyfully across the field. Bud heard his friend yelling, "HERE WE COME, DREAMS! HERE WE COME, SQUIRRELS!"
Bud turned and went quickly into the woods. He stopped for only a moment when he heard several thunderous gunshots boom out, almost at once. Then he was off again. He moved quietly. He zigzagged. When he came to a stream, he backtracked. He used every trick in the book and he did not stop until nightfall. Then, he lay down and cried for his friend. He cried very hard and he prayed that Lonnie, the gentlest soul he had ever encountered, had found his dream and was chasing squirrel in whatever life he was in now.

Joyce Owens is a painter, sculptor, curator, writer, arts advocate, mother and wife. She has taught students from pre-school through college as old as 71 years of age. Owens believes art should be available to everyone and believes everyone can engage in art practice with support and training. An important aspect for artists, in general, is self-confidence. It is hard to have the courage to become an artist when you come from an under-privileged community. The struggle is long and hard. I have persisted because I can't stop myself!
Muestra cambiada por:
I try to change people's minds. My own work and curatorial efforts address issues around race and gender and the environment. I especially want people to see that people of African descent and other brown people are just that-people. By showing aspects of African American history they has hidden in plain site,I can open eyes to who we really are, and educate people about the reality so they can leave the mythology behind.

Miley Cyrus Makeup Mishap: Oops!by Hilton Hater at . Updated at . Comments
As the hottest of the hot on the Maxim Hot 100, Miley Cyrus walked the red carpet of a party thrown by that magazine with her head held high last night.
Unfortunately, that simply gave us a better look at the star's face.
It looks as though Miley failed to properly blend the powder on her face, leading to a makeup mishap in which the shades around her mouth are a tad uneven. Take a close look and see for yourself:
One thing that was not a mistake, however?
Witnesses spotted Cyrus sporting her Liam Hemsworth engagement ring once again. Contrary to rumors out there, this couple appears to be as committed as ever.
Miley Cyrus Sex Tape is a hot trend on the internet.
Watch it here: Miley Cyrus Sex Tape (full version)
I ain't get no doubt it's the best thing i saw
You are welcome)
Ohhh geez, what a trivial thing to make a fuss about. Is someone running out of valid dirt to throw at celebrities?
As appears to be the consensus in the majority of the comments before me: This was pretty lame to bring to everyone's attention...To focus on this,'minute' detail,to try to hurt Miley is just---weak,sad,petty,and somewhat despicable...You guy's really hit a new low with this...What is Wrong with you?! You can never convince me that Sweet Miley Ever did Anything to warrant such spiteful,vindictiveness,as I am seeing here...Her 'make-up person' screwed-up---just a little mind you---and you want to call her out on it? Like it's her fault?? WOW!
I wouldn't have seen it,if you hadn't thrown such a spotlight on-it. In-fact,it's so insignificant---all I see is Miley's Beauty! All I see is---Maxim's number #1 Hottest! Go,Miley! LOL! later all; Hollywood---out...
Who wrote this article?Like seriously who gives a crap if Miley Cyrus' makeup is uneven, have you nothing else to write about???
Justin Bieber in a dress.
I'm more concerned with the person that brought such a minute, almost invisible blunder to everyone's attention. How critical and vain can a person possibly be to even notice this and then make it an issue????!?!?!! Wow!!!
She is just amazingly gorgeous regardless of her make-up artists flub. What happened was her make-up artist chose too dark of a shade of bronzer for her skin tone. The part of her face/skin that wasn't contoured with bronzer looks extra white. I doubt it was even noticeable in person. The flash in cameras tho would exagerate the skin-tone differences, so in photos....ya, it looks strange. A bronzer that was a couple shades lighter would have been a better choice. Again, this make-up "mishap" wasn't even that noticeable and not Mileys fault at all. Its the make-up artists blunder! I think Miley is beautiful.
who the hell cares if her makeup is a tad uneven it looks fine to me
These people do NOT do their own makeup. Unless she's great at crossing her eyes and looking down at the rest of her face to check her makeup, how would she know. Come on folks, this is petty. She looks great.
I see what happened but isn't someone supposed to be taking care of this so this wouldn't happen but to me she is still so beautiful.

I have fine to medium textured hair that is finicky about shampoos. This one leaves my hair feeling clean and balanced. It truly adds shine and volume while being gentle, smells pleasant, and lathers well. I have tried many shampoos over the years and this one works for me every time.

A very average shampoo. Seems to clean fine without weighing down my fine straight hair. Yet no volume observed. If you want just a basic shampoo, go for it. If you expect some volume, I would not recommend it.

I have short, fine hair that gets weighed down if you even look at it. I color the roots (light blond) 3 times a month and that has damaged my hair. I trim my hair every 3 weeks so it looks healthy. I used this shampoo while staying at someone's house and was impressed enough to take some home. I keep it in my rotation. I use the Treseme Platinum line (HIGHLY recommend!) and this...I alternate because while the Treseme does a fabulous job at fixing damage, it can weigh my hair down a little...I also rotate with John Freida's Full Repair line and this. I haven't tried Matrix conditioner yet,

I really like this shampoo so far. It gives me volume but still leaves my hair soft and shiney. My hair is fine with oily roots and slightly dry ends from highlighting. Its hard to find a shampoo and conditioner that gives me volume but still leaves your hair soft and healthy feeling. This shampoo and matching conditioner does a pretty good job of both. It is going into the rotation.

I like this!! It does not make thé hair heavy, smells really nice and fresh and is really of good quality, concentrated! I bought this with the conditioner in the same line cause they have discontinued my old favourite John Frieda Luxurious volume here....
I have REALLY, really, thin fine hair, that usually is extremely flat and "oily"....
Yes, I'd repurchase... :)

November 25, 2014
ALEXANDRIA, La. (AP) -- Meetings planned in four states will ask people what they think about using genetically modified crops on refuges to provide food for migrating waterfowl.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has been taking public comment since April for an environmental analysis required under a ruling in a lawsuit by three environmental groups. The groups contend biotech crops encourage overuse of herbicides and the growth of herbicide-resistant weeds, hurt beneficial insects and change soil ecology.
Farmers harvest part of the crops grown on refuges. A ruling last year noted that herbicide-resistant plants made up 92 percent of the nation's soybean acreage and 80 percent of the corn acreage in 2008.
The meetings are Monday in Decatur, Ala.; Tuesday in Dyersburg, Tenn.; Wednesday in Natchez, Miss., and Thursday in Alexandria, La.

text: Bewafa Nawaz ke bharose baithe rahen, Itne to Modi kamjor nahin: SAARC. 27. November 2014 Premendra Agrawal (0) Tags: Firswt Post, Indian Prime Minister, Modi ignored Nawaz Sharif, SAARC, South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, Bewafa Nawaz, India and Pakistan, Nepal, Bangaldesh, Sri LankaBewafa Nawaz ke bharose baithe rahen, Itne to Modi kamjor nahin: SAARC. India and Pakistan have fought three wars, and just last month exchanges of fire across the border in disputed Kashmir killed 20 people. The bickering spilled into a two-day regional summit in Kathmandu, and their leaders refused to meet. Indian and Nepali officials said Pakistan declined to sign three multilateral pacts with the eight members of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC). The agreements aim to boost road trade and electricity sharing, including across Pakistan's heavily militarized border with India. In an apparent reference to Pakistan, India's foreign ministry spokesman said one country had cited incomplete "internal processes" for not signing the pacts, but stopped short of naming it. Pakistani officials did not respond to telephone calls seeking comment. First Post rightly commented on India's policy at SAARC: The strategy is this: i Ignore Pakistan to the hilt, ii Deepen India's ties with the rest of SAARC countries, and iii Counter China's influence in SAARC quietly but decisively by improving connectivity with all SAARC countries except Pakistan. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi ignored Pakistani Prime Minister to say, "South Asia is slowly coming together. India and Bangladesh have deepened their links through rail, road, power and transit. India and Nepal have started a new era of cooperation in energy; and, India and Bhutan are making those ties stronger by the day. With Sri Lanka, we have transformed trade through a Free Trade Agreement. We will soon launch a new arrangement to meet Maldives' need for oil. Distance and difficulties have not held back India and Afghanistan. And, bus and train sustain contacts between people in India and Pakistan."

The House has passed an expansion of hate crimes legislation to include discrimination against gender, sexual orientation and disability. Though the measure succeeded with bipartisan support and is expected to make it through the Senate, President Bush has vowed to veto the bill, calling it unnecessary.
Los Angeles Times:
A long-stalled bill that would expand the federal hate crime law to cover violent acts based on a victim's gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability is headed for approval in the Democratic-controlled Congress but faces a White House veto threat.
The House on Thursday approved the measure, the first major expansion of the hate crime statute since it was enacted in 1968. Senate approval is expected soon, putting the controversial bill on the president's desk for the first time since it was proposed nearly a decade ago.
Under intense pressure from conservative religious organizations to derail the bill, the White House on Thursday called it "unnecessary and constitutionally questionable," issuing the latest in a string of veto threats aimed at the congressional Democratic majority.

A Chicago-based Coast Guard crew rescued nine people from a sinking vessel on Lake Michigan late Sunday.
A 33-foot boat started taking on water after apparently striking a shoal about a mile from the Calumet Harbor breakwall near Chicago. The people aboard called for help on their marine radio.
A Coast Guard crew aboard a 45-foot boat responded and moved the people off the distressed boat, which then partially sank with about six feet of the bow above the waterline.
The Coast Guard says the boat had about 80 gallons of fuel aboard, but there are no signs of pollution. The Coast Guard monitored the situation overnight and the vessel was salvaged early Monday.
The rescued boaters' names are not being released by the Coast Guard.

Guilty plea in sexting caseJanuary 12,2013BURLINGTON A Vermont man has pleaded guilty to persuading a 12-year-old girl to take nude photos of herself and send the images to his cellphone.
The U.S. Attorneys office says 26-year-old Richard Fletcher of Sheffield pleaded guilty to producing, receiving and possessing child pornography in federal court Wednesday.
Fletcher admitted that in 2011 he persuaded the girl in Utah to take the photos and send him the images.
Fletcher and the girl never met face-to-face. Prosecutors said he met her on a social media website, obtained her cellphone number, and began calling and texting her. They said he pressed for the photos after persuading the girl that he loved her and wanted her to be his girlfriend.

Weather Averages for Murcia in October
Averages for Murcia in October
October sees a significant change in the weather of Murcia. While the average daily high temperature can still be 77.9°F (25.5°C), it can average 54.9°F (12.7°C) for the lows, mainly at night.
Many people find the beach a viable option, even in October, since the average daily temperature is 65.8°F (18.8°C) and the water can still be quite warm from the summer months, about 69.8°F (21°C). October will be the last month in which swimming is recommended, so visitors should make an effort to at least visit the beautiful beach for a relaxing afternoon or a night time stroll.
There is an average of 1.73" (4.4 cm) which is higher than other months but it still leaves plenty of rain-free days, since it only rains on about 4 days the entire month.
There is an average of 7 hours of sunlight.
In October, Murcia has a cultural festivity called the Fiestas de Moros y Cristianos. During this celebration, both Christian and Moorish armies put on parades. There are also open-air parties where all are welcome, and there are many performances, including flamenco dancing and music as well as belly dancing.
Tourists visiting in October should take advantage of the variety of museums that the city has to offer. These include the Science museum, the City museum, the Religious Art museum, the Archeological museum, the Bellas Artes museum, the Salzillo museum, and the Bullfighting museum.
Each of these museums is specific in its exhibits and will provide a unique experience for the tourist. Anyone who wants to stay in the city without renting a car can keep themselves busy with these museums alone.

I have a 15'-20' deck at my back door. I live in a townhome community, i am on the end of a three unit dwelling. I installed on the east side of the deck a 15' long 6' tall privacy partition. on the west side of me is another privacy panel separating me from the unit next to me, which was installed by the builder. My question is, can the hoa trespass onto my property and remove the privacy panel from my deck?
If the HOA gave you implied or express permission to build and now they're changing their minds after the fact, you have some protection, but in general HOAs can be pushy about these things. The HOA declarations and bylaws need to be evaluated, along with the validity of HOA governance proceedings, to answer your question more definitively.
If the CCRs authorize the HOA board to take enforcement action and your privacy panel violates the CCRs, then most likely the board can do what it is threatening to do. If you want to stop them, you should immediately hire an attorney who can seek a TRO and preliminary injunction to preserve the status quo. Be forewarned that going done this road will be an extremely costly process--you will end up spending thousands in attorney's fees. So you should think seriously about how much that privacy panel is really worth to you. It is rarely the case that an individual homeowner gets their way in these types of disputes.
