Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Household debt must slow down
The debts of Canadian households rose once again in the second quarter of this year, to the astonishment of the Bank of Canada. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and Bank of Canada Governor Steven Poloz should heed the warning and head off the looming credit crunch while they still have time.
Statistics Canada reported last week that the credit market debt of Canadian households, measured against their disposable income, rose to 163.4 per cent of income in the second quarter from 162.1 per cent in the first quarter. Mr. Flaherty and the Bank of Canada had been worried about this level of debt last year when the debt-to-income ratio reached 162.8 per cent. Mr. Flaherty took a series of steps to restrict mortgage insurance eligibility and discourage mortgage interest rate discounting. These measures appeared to be working when the debt ratio fell to 162.6 per cent in the fourth quarter and then to 162.1 per cent in the first quarter of this year. The authorities patted themselves on the back. The sudden increase to 163.4 per cent in the second quarter, therefore, appeared to be both a shift in the trend and a setback for Mr. Flaherty's efforts.
The Bank of Canada was also caught off-guard. The bank said in its Sept. 4 rate-setting statement: "While the housing sector has been slightly stronger than anticipated, household credit growth has continued to slow and mortgage interest rates are higher, pointing to a continued constructive evolution of household imbalances." The household-debt report nine days later showed this was no longer the case.
To set that ratio in context, working people in their 30s, with maybe 30 years of slowly rising income ahead of them, might logically buy a house and borrow an amount two or three times their annual income with a mortgage loan from the bank. A few will get into trouble but most will be able to make their monthly payments. As they approach retirement, however, their income should rise and their debt should decline because they have only a few years left to pay off the bank. For all Canadian households in aggregate, debt should not exceed annual income -- or not for long. At the moment, debt is 163.4 per cent of income and climbing.
Lately, Canadian banks have found a new group of borrowers among empty-nesters whose house values have shot up. They are reluctant to sell their house but the bank can help them cash in on the rising value through a mortgage loan. The bank will get its money back when the house is sold, either by the couple or by their children. It's a way of making the next generation pay for their parents' declining years.
The banks' success in issuing these home-equity loans is reflected in the stellar level of bank profits reported in August and in the high level of household debt relative to income. The practical effect is that the heirs of home-equity borrowers will inherit family homes encumbered with debts. This was once rare but may soon become common. That is when deleveraging will set in -- when the next generation has to repay their parents' debts.
For the moment, Canada and some of its retirees and empty-nesters are able to live well and spend freely. This credit-fuelled prosperity looks like robust economic health while it lasts. But house prices will not go on rising forever and interest rates will not remain low forever.
If Mr. Flaherty is lucky, the deleveraging will not take hold before the 2015 election. Mr. Poloz, however, will still be in office and answerable for the results of his policy. He should recognize household imbalances are not evolving as constructively as they seemed on Sept. 4. He should slow the growth of household debt. He should touch the brake pedal while he can. He should avoid the fate of that Spanish train driver who took the curve too fast near Santiago de Compostela in July and then saw his train spin off the rails.

50. Magic Fly (Pale Watery wingless wet variant) - I will be the first to tell you that I don't believe in magic bullet flies – flies that you tie on and start bailing fish. This pattern is the closest I've found to being the exception. The Sulphur hatch is notorious for producing stillborn flies and frustrated anglers. The same could be said of summer stenos, which have left me muttering to myself on more than one occasion. The first time I fished this fly, it was a classic June Sulphur night on the Farmington. I had a whole pool of trout at my command. They rose to the fly with such carelessness and confidence that I couldn't believe what was happening. It must be magic. I treat this fly with silica floatant (my favorite is Frog's Fanny) and fish it like a dry, on a long leader on a dead drift. The soft hackles and spikey body create a must-eat-me-now illusion that turns trout stupid. Alter the size and color and you've got a fine match for dorotheas and stenos. The Magic Fly is based on the old Pale Watery Wingless wet. - fly fishing video channel - Global FlyFisher

from Metsblog.comAccording to multiple reports, with varying sources, the Mets and free-agent Moises Alou remain close to agreeing on a one-year deal worth as much as $9 million.
The Daily News, SI.com and FOXSports.com note the deal will have an option for 2008.
SI.com notes that Alou turned down a guaranteed two-year deal, from the both the Indians and Rangers, in favor of a one-year deal, plus an option, from the Mets.
Nice addition for the Mets. One year deal is great since Alou is 40 years old plus the guys kills lefty pitching.
Chavez will get plenty of time in both left and rightfield this year.
Now onto some Starting Pitching.

Savanna High girls wrestling standout Kaylee Chevez is the Anaheim Bulletin's Girl Athlete of the Year.
(The Anaheim Bulletin's Athletes of the Year were chosen by sports writers Brian Whitehead and Kenny Connolly, with the assistance of OCVarsity staff writers.)
Kaylee Chevez is a national champion wrestler.
She earned that title, rather convincingly, at the USA Wrestling Girls Folkstyle National Championships in March.
Chevez is a CIF state and a CIF regional champion as well, known universally for possessing the tenacity of the heaviest heavyweight.
She is also 5-foot, 98 pounds, and no bigger than your average eighth grader.
Chevez has impeccable skills on the mat, though, and the unparalleled ferocity to match.
When she speaks of her younger sister, Perla, however, she's no longer that imposing competitor.
"I've always wanted to be a model to my little sister," she said. "That was always my main goal."
Chevez will look you dead in the eye when she answers a question.
She's articulate, discerning, candid.
Wrestling taught her that. It also taught her discipline, so not a single motion, either on the mat or during an interview, is wasted.
Seldom does she gesticulate.
"A student-athlete, to me, is not just a title that someone gets," she said. "It's more of a blessing. If you can do both, then you got it down. You're set."
Chevez mentioned her sister, and her tone changed.
She started playing with her hair.

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

Tim Sparv's first-half strike was enough to secure the win for the visitors, as they inflicted the first defeat of the season on Maurice Steijn's side.
Groningen had just a point to their name from three games prior to kick-off, and remain one point behind ADO despite their success.
FC Twente top the table ahead of the rest of the weekend's action, and are the only side in the division with maximum points.

Danish rookie Kevin Magnussen is latest Formula One driver to admit that he would prefer a permanent car number.
The McLaren driver took to Twitter to reveal his preference, the day after the Woking outfit revealed that their 2014 car will be revealed to the public four days before the pre-season testing session at Jerez.
"Here's some news: my driver number will be 20 this year, which I won the Formula Renault 3.5 Series title with last year," the 21-year-old said.
Earlier, Lotus driver Romain Grosjean revealed that he would like to keep the number eight, while 29 and 11 were his other favourites.
It is thought that Kimi Raikkonen and Jules Bianchi both prefer the number seven, while Sergio Perez favours number 11 as well.
Raikkonen's Ferrari team-mate Fernando Alonso prefers number 14 and Nico Rosberg is hopeful being allowed number six.
Other drivers to have confirmed their choices are Felipe Massa (19), Valteri Bottas (77) and Jean-Éric Vergne (25)

Longoria Speaks Out About Low Attendance
September 28, 2010 7:07 AM
Evan Longoria spoke out last night after the Rays game.
In a heartfelt address in which he wasn't prodded, Longoria said Monday's crowd of 12,446 at Tropicana Field for a game in which the Rays could have clinched a postseason berth was "embarrassing" and "disheartening."
The attendance last night was the 4th smallest of the season for the Rays and this with the Rays having the best record in the majors.
"It's disheartening," Longoria said. "It's something I've been wanting to say for a long time. It's not a jab at the fans. It's not a kick below the belt, but it's something we'd like to see. Obviously we want to bring a championship to Tampa. We'd like more than 12-to-15,000 to know about it."

Days after losing a tough Republican primary battle that went down to absentee ballots, two term Senator Roy McDonald announced he will not actively campaign as a third party candidate in November's general election. For more on what that means for the race and future of the seat, we're joined by Matt Hunter in the newsroom.
ALBANY, N.Y. -- Considering that it was just Wednesday that Governor Cuomo announced he would continue to support Senator McDonald if he continued to run, Thursday's news came as somewhat shocking to some, but the two term Senator's departure now leaves voters with two choices on Election Day. Exactly two weeks after voters went to the polls for the 43rd Senate District Republican primary, Senator Roy McDonald, the loser of that race, announced he will not actively campaign as a third party candidate.
In a statement released late Thursday morning, McDonald said, "Moving forward, I will be supporting all Republican candidates, including Kathy Marchione, in the General Election, because I believe maintaining the Republican Majority in the New York State Senate will continue to positively change state government."
His departure now leaves Marchione and Democratic Claverack Town Supervisor Robin Andrews vying for the seat.
Andrews said, "I think people have lost their trust in government, which is why I'm excited to offer the alternative that I have not spent 30 years in government. I come from a business background and can offer some fresh insight."
"The issues haven't changed, so for me, I'm just going to continue to go out there and meet people and have them get to know me better and run on the issues that we've both been talking about," Marchione said.
One of those issues was same-sex marriage. McDonald was one of four Senate Republicans to vote for last June's historic Marriage Equality Act, a piece of legislation Marchione opposed.
While Andrews was able to marry her longtime partner as a result of its passage, both candidates say they don't expect the issue to dominate the rest of the race.
Marchione said, "Same-sex marriage was an issue, I think as we go forward, it's always going to be an issue in this race, but I believe that people are much more concerned about jobs and the economy."
"I think as we move to the general election as I've said, it's not about that. It really is about the job situation and the economy and the education system," Andrews said.
While voters seemingly have two clear choices come November, McDonald's name will still be on the ballot on the Independence Party line.
This marks the end of a more than 30 year political career for McDonald. Before beginning his first term in the state legislature in 2002, he served as Wilton's town supervisor for 23 years..
After discussing the issue with family, friends, campaign staff and trusted advisors, I've decided that I will not actively campaign in the General Election on the Independence Party line.
I want to thank all my supporters that have stood by me over the years, and everyone that voted in the Primary. Thank you to Senator Skelos for his leadership in the Republican Conference and for his faith in me through an appointment as the Chairman of the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Committee. I also want to send a special thank you to the Independence Party leadership for their help and support.
Thank you to Governor Cuomo for his outstanding support, and for the great job he's done for the citizens of New York State. He has my respect and friendship.
Moving forward, I will be supporting all Republican candidates – including Kathy Marchione – in the General Election, because I believe maintaining the Republican Majority in the New York State Senate will continue to positively change state government. It is important to recognize the need for checks and balances in our democracy, which can only be assured by a multi-party system.
This decision was made through significant reflection. I am very proud of my time in public service. Standing up for the communities I represented was always my first priority. I have been a Senator for all people.
As Wilton Town Supervisor, I had the opportunity to eliminate taxes and establish real economic development to help local families. Serving as a Saratoga County Supervisor, I authored the first county budget that cut taxes by twenty-five percent and made Saratoga the lowest taxed county in New York State.
It was humbling to be elected to serve our local communities in the state legislature as a member of the Assembly and Senate. I worked to extend our local success in Wilton and Saratoga County through bi-partisan partnerships and creative problem solving.
But my proudest accomplishments were helping to pass legislation that directly benefitted people. Patriot Plans I, II and III helped New York National Guard and Reserve veterans obtain the benefits they earned serving our country. We also started a pilot program to help returning combat veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) get the peer-to-peer counseling they need.
The Saratoga-Washington on the Hudson Partnership was established to promote the historic significance and agricultural importance of this region. I was also honored to sponsor legislation that brought GLOBALFOUNDRIES to Saratoga County; this project is creating thousands of jobs along with numerous spin-off opportunities for new businesses.
The hallmark of a great society is protecting those who cannot protect themselves, and the Senate Republican Majority over the past two years allowed me to focus on an issue that has real significance in my life and increasing importance to families in New York State. As Chairman of the Senate Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Committee, helping individuals with disabilities and standing up for their rights came to the forefront.
First, we passed autism insurance legislation that required health insurance providers to ensure diagnosis and treatment coverage for families that have a loved one persevering with autism. Before this legislation became law, coverage was routinely denied for autism. Next, after an investigative report outlined unacceptable abuse taking place in developmental disabilities group homes, I sponsored legislation and partnered with Governor Cuomo to pass the Protection of People with Special Needs Act. This legislation created a process for abuse to be reported and investigated so that people are protected and criminals are adequately prosecuted.
I've had the wonderful opportunity to gain a new perspective on life, thanks to my two grandsons David and Jacob. Their achievements in overcoming a diagnosis on the autistic spectrum are truly inspiring. Regardless of where I am in life, I will continue advocating for people with special disabilities and working to help individuals and their families facing what always appear to be insurmountable circumstances – but with help and working together, I have learned they are not.
Led by Senator Skelos, the Senate Republicans accomplished much in the past two years. Late budgets were once a sign of Albany dysfunction, but two on-time budgets that closed multi-billion dollar budget gaps without raising taxes or fees demonstrated a desire to turn things around. In addition, we cut taxes for middle class families to their lowest levels in 58 years.
I want to thank my family for their love, support and for allowing me to share my time with the public while in office. My accomplishments are theirs because nothing would have been possible without their understanding of missed dance recitals due to board meetings, my absence at the dinner table because of late night budget negotiations and much more. Thank you to my wonderful wife Angela, and great daughters Stephanie, Jessica and Julie, my fantastic sons-in-law Matthew, Jeff and Charles, along with my wonderful grandsons Jacob and David.
I congratulate Roy McDonald on a hard-fought race and I appreciate his support. He's a good man who works tirelessly for our community. Roy and I have been friends for more than 20 years. The primary, and everything that came with it, is behind us, and I still count him as a friend.
I entered this race because New York faces serious problems, and this campaign is about fixing them. The corruption in Albany needs to be stopped. Our state government taxes too much, spends too much, regulates too much and borrows too much. I'm looking forward to spending the next six weeks meeting voters and sharing our ideas to lower spending, clean up Albany and get New York working again.
Whenever a public servant decides to step away to from public life, one has to respect the years of service he and his family have given and I certainly feel that way about Senator McDonald.
Today's news gives the voters of the 43rd Senate District a very clear choice. Political affiliation aside, people do not want a representative who continues to look to the past, they want someone focused on looking to the future and working with Governor Cuomo to continue building the new New York. My 20+ years in the private sector working as a budget and planning consultant have given me the tools needed to find creative ways to ensure that government is taking steps to encourage growth and job creation, not smother it. I think people understand that problems cannot be solved by continuing to throw money at them or by slashing their budgets. We need sound decision making by people qualified to make those decisions and I am confident that I am that person for the 43rd Senate District.

Thoreau's words increasingly apply to securing cyberspace.
A huge chasm exists between cyber operators and the technical community, declared Brig Gen. Brett Williams, USAF, Pacific Command J-6. Both sides must learn the other's language if operators are to receive the systems that they actually need, he offered. Speaking in the Thursday panel at TechNet Asia-Pacific 2010, Gen. Williams related that operators often do not understand the technical language of the systems that are being designed for them. As a result, they are not able to effectively input design advice, and often are faced with the challenge of adapting a system to suit their needs. Conversely, technicians often do not fully understand operators' needs, he added. Both need to reach out to the other group to begin system design with a better understanding of everyone's points of view. For operators, Gen. Williams suggested that they learn about cyber systems in the same manner that pilots learn about their aircraft before they set foot in them to fly. Going even further was Rear Adm. William E. Leigher, USN, deputy commander, U.S. Fleet Cyber Command/10th Fleet. He suggested the creation of a cyber acquisition force, because characteristics of cyberspace are greatly different than those of the platform world, especially the pace of change. He noted that the military buys carriers from a limited number of shipyards, but it buys information technology from many sources, which calls for a new way of doing business.
The time for passive cyber defense has passed, and the military must become more active in defending its assets against cyber attack. That approach was endorsed by several high-ranking officers in the Thursday panel at TechNet Asia-Pacific 2010. Rear Adm. William E. Leigher, USN, deputy commander, U.S. Fleet Cyber Command/10th Fleet, noted that cyber predominantly is a defensive domain. In the 1990s, a structure was set up in which a computer emergency response team waits for something to happen, then patches it and waits for the next incident to happen. "Can you imagine doing ASW [antisubmarine warfare] that way?" he suggested. "We have not ever demonstrated the inherent right of self defense in cyberspace," the admiral declared. The art of deterrence is different in cyberspace, said Brig Gen. Brett Williams, USAF, Pacific Command (PACOM) J-6. "You don't deter a cyber event with other cyber action," he elaborated. "You deter with the full strength of national action. it's bad to pigeonhole cyber in this area." Rear Adm. Scott H. Swift, USN, PACOM J-3, stated that the military still does not think of cyber as a warfighting system. it is as important as any other element of battle, such as tanks and aircraft, he added.
The United States has air supremacy; why not cyberspace supremacy?
The United States may need a "dot-secure" cyber realm to protect vital infrastructure elements such as banking.
Unlike the other operational realms of land, sea and air, cyberspace can be reshaped significantly by people.
Land, sea and air have dedicated weapons for military operations, cyber space needs them too.
It is time for the services to get rid of their network operation and support centers, or NOSCs, according to a high-ranking Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) official. Maj. Gen. Ronnie D. Hawkins Jr., USAF, vice director, DISA, called for the end of service NOSCs as part of DISA's effort to eliminate stovepipes.
The worst extremist group threatening India may be neither Muslim nor Maoist but instead Hindu.
China has too many challenges at home to risk upsetting the regional security status quo.

A re-organization is essentially a corporate restructuring. Driven by complex business goals and aggressive timelines, reorganizations are increasingly common as companies streamline and/or optimize their structure.
Re-organizations are assumed to be disruptive for employees, but can be equally difficult for managers involved. Publishing and sharing org charts simplifies the planning process by building a baseline view of the organization, creating options, illustrating the implications of moves before they are implemented, and finally, settling on a new structure.
Some org chart software programs also address the challenges of collaborating and making decisions in the rapidly changing environment surrounding reorgs. Web-based systems accessible to all employees across geographies give every person on the reorg team immediate access to current information to help make informed, fact-based decisions. These systems also make it easier to share ideas, gain approvals and communicate results. Reorganizations can be performed quickly, more cost effectively, and with less risk of losing key employees.

Tomorrow, April 1st, 60 Minutes will air a segment with Dr. Robert Lustig, "Is Sugar Toxic?" While researchers within the ancestral health community differ on the "toxicity" of sugar, what I find even more compelling than the link between sugar and obesity (and all of the related health disorders) is the link between sugar and cancer. Research has shown that the fuel for cancer is blood sugar as cancer calls use glucose for energy and cell replication.
Here is a New York Times article by Gary Taubes on Robert Lustig, "Is Sugar Toxic?", and here is an article I wrote about Dr. Lustig, "When the Sugar Police Go Marching In." I admire Dr. Lustig and his work, however, I oppose his crusade to modify the food habits of Americans via the use of government intervention.
Here is a short preview of the 60 Minutes segment.7:02 am on March 31, 2012 Email Karen De Coster
