Virat ends up winner!
Their challenge against Mumbai may have ended at the victory gates, but that didn't stop the strong Challengers from reaching well deserved semifinals...
Virat Kohli. He is yet to find a permanent place in Indian team, be it the ODI or T20, not at all because he lacks any talent or ability or performance, but just because there are others whom it is hard to displace. And here for RCB, and on the bouncy South African pitches, he keeps punching his way like a accounts clerk punching invoices as if its just a routine. Well, the youngster has come to the party where his much acclaimed overseas stalwarts like Taylor or Kallis or White have paled in comparison, so much that White had to admit that Kohli is the key man for their success in semis. Dont forget that run out he effected from the deep, those 3 reasonably tidy overs at a difficult time.
And then there is Rahul Dravid. Since the days he started turning up for the country, he has always been on the defensive side - I am not talking about his batting style, I am referring to the innumerous digs and criticism he had to face in his career. First critics said he was not fit for limited over format and then he proved to them with 10,000+ runs and numerous catches. Well, many of those catches came behind the wicket, a role he was forced to adorn by the call of captain Ganguly at that time, as if his master batsmanship was not sufficient to earn him a place in the side.
Then as he built his career winning more test matches for India abroad than anyone else had done ever before, he had to still remain the 'bestman' behind the eternal bridegroom, Sachin Tendulkar.
Now, and of late, his own fans started branding him a "not more than 100 strike rate player for T20 format, so should not open the innings etc etc", a claim which I strongly refuted by saying he contributes useful knocks at top of the order which lays a solid foundation for the innings so that strikers like Robin or Ross can capitalise on. How much he proved me right! thank you Rahul.
I had seen how Dravid had turned his traditional test-style solid & slow batting of mid 90's into becoming an useful middle order resource in ODIs with several 50s and some record breaking partnerships, like many of his fans, I was also fortunate seeing how he modified his game to suit T20 format in the IPL at a time when he and his team mates in the inaugural IPL (Kallis, Jaffer, Chanderpaul, Misbah et al) were branded a test team. Now, if he has hit three knocks of 30+ at a strike rate close to 125 or more and his famous, illustrious and more capable team mates like Ross, White and even the dynamite Uthappa have fallen by the way side, it is quite clear that Dravid the phenomenon has made the critics find both their feet in their big mouths. I hope I can conveniently use the phrase "let the critics beware, when they speak of Rahul Dravid".
And of course, Mr Srikkanth and his wise team of selectors, Dhoni the captain included, must be realising as to how many winnable matches that they lost because they didnt have a Dravid in the middle.
Today was such a high day for RCB, not only because they moved from $200,000 prize money to $500,000 category (by reaching semis) but also with the way they achieved it. The wrinkles in their performance against Mumbai were all ironed out clean. And they had their captain superior Anil Kumble to lead from the front. Just imagine in today's T20 games, with 60 yard boundaries to defend, a spinner comes in, bowls 24 deliveries, 12 dots, one double and 11 singles. No boundary, forget a sixer. And he takes the wicket most wanted by his team. Is this real? Are you sure its T20? Indeed, when it is Anil, anything is possible.With a splendid start from Vinay, tight second spell from Steyn, solid foundation from Dravid and Pandey and clear finishing by Virat - it was totally a team effort. no fifties and not even a 3 wicket haul - just proves how much of a team effort it was.
Anyway, they either play Warriors or Super Kings in semis, but whoever they play, they have found such glorious form, I am sure there will be a great game ahead of us. In cricket generally, and more so in T20, it is tough to predict the winners (as we saw the match against Mumbai where a last ball top edge from Virat ended a dream run), but whoever wins, I am sure RCB will thrill all of us.
Beware, Rossy & Robbie are yet to come to the party!!

"by one estimate, $85 billion a year."
It sure would be nice to see the name of the person who could be hanged with this estimate. According to the piece, Fannie and Freddie back $2.4 trillion in mortgages that have interest rates over 4.5 percent. If all of these mortgages were refinanced and the average saving was 1.5 percent, this would save homeowners $36 billion. This is just over 40 percent of our $85 billion estimate.
In fact, most of these mortgages could already be refinanced today, if the homeowners wanted to do so. Removing the obstacles for underwater homeowners or homeowners with bad credit would be unlikely to allow even one quarter of these mortgages be refinanced, providing a net savings of less than $9 billion.
If we look at the economic impact, we have to also remember that the interest payments were income for some people. The investors on average are certainly much richer than homeowners, but they would still spend some portion of their interest earnings. If we assume a 40 basis points gap in marginal propensities to consume (e.g. homeowners consume 90 percent of their additional income, investors consumer 50 percent) then the net boost to consumption from this measure would be less than $4 billion a year or 0.03 percent of GDP.
The article discusses concerns that house prices are continuing to fall. Actually we should expect house prices to continue to fall, they are still close to 10 percent above their long-term trend. If there is a reason that we should expect house prices to stay above this trend, the NYT has never bothered to run a piece on it.
Finally, the piece includes comments from Frank E. Nothaft, the chief economist at Freddie Mac. Mr Nothaft made himself famous for repeatedly asserting during the bubble years that nationwide house prices never fall. If he has ever been right about anything connected with the housing market there is no record of it.
The Washington Post and Robert Samuelson did their part in publicly passing along the marching orders from the rich and powerful to Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve Board. The word from these folks is "No Inflation!" If that means millions more people will suffer unemployment for a few more years, that's a price that the Post and Samuelson are willing to pay. Of course the rich and powerful have numerous channels for making their concerns known to the Fed, they don't need the Post and Samuelson to put them into print. So, this really is a public service.
What's neat about this picture is that there is little dispute about the basic facts surrounding inflation. Inflation is a problem that stems from an overheated economy. Apart from war or political collapse there are no instances of inflation just shooting up from low levels into Weimar type hyper-inflation. This means that if we are going to have a problem with inflation, it will arise gradually and we will first have to get back to something near full employment. It will not just creep on us overnight when we are sleeping. (There can be supply induced inflation. Suppose Saudi Arabia's oil fields are blown up and the price of oil goes to $400 a barrel. This would cause inflation, but the Fed's actions are not going to affect this outcome.)
The other basic fact is that moderate rates of inflation do very little harm. The economy operates every bit as well with 4-5 percent inflation as it does with 1-2 percent inflation. This is a heavily researched topic and the overwhelming majority of this research has found little or no negative effect from moderate rates of inflation (e.g. here and here).
Yet, both the Post edit board and Samuelson argue strongly that Bernanke should not risk higher inflation to try to reduce the unemployment rate. The edit told readers:
"the core rate of inflation (price increases excluding food and energy costs) has crept up to within striking distance of the Fed's 2 percent target. Printing more money might push it above that, unleashing dangerous inflationary expectations."
Ooooooh, dangerous inflationary expectations. That's really scary. Since the core inflation rate has been above 2.0 percent for most of the last 50 years, it's hard to see what anyone would be worried about.
But then the Post gets to the substance of the matter:
"The Fed recently promised to continue making funds available to the financial system at nearly zero percent interest. While perhaps necessary in the short run, this policy amounts to a penalty on prudent savers and a reward to over-leveraged debtors."
Yep, we should really be worried about rewarding those over-leveraged debtors -- lazy bums, many of them are not even working. And the "prudent savers?" Yes, that woud include all those wealthy people with large amounts of money to invest. But hey, no class issues here.
Robert Samuelson also notes how more expansionary policy has the effect of transfering wealth from creditors to debtors in the context of discussing a proposal by Harvard economist to deliberately target 6 percent inflation for a couple of years:
"To be sure, higher inflation represents a wealth transfer to debtors (who repay in cheaper dollars) from creditors (who receive cheaper dollars). That's unfair, Rogoff says, but it may be less unfair and disruptive than outright defaults by overborrowed debtors."
Samuelson concludes that the risks of inflation are just too great and then wrong tells readers:
"Remember: The economy's basic problem is poor confidence spawned by pervasive uncertainties."
As noted in today's lesson on accounting identities, the share of GDP devoted to investment in equipment and software is almost back to its pre-crisis level. And, the saving rate is still below its post-war average, meaning that consumption is high, not low. The economy's basic problem is that the dollar is too high, which is causing a large trade deficit.
When we think about the trade-offs between inflation and unemployment it is important to remember that the tens of millions of people who are unemployed or underemployed today did not do anything wrong. It was people like Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke who messed up. And of course other actors in national policy debates, who were too obsessed with budget deficits to notice an $8 trillion housing bubble did not help either.
National income accounting is really basic stuff. It is taught in every intro economics class. It would be a really great thing if only the people who wrote about and implemented economic policy understand it.
Today Beat the Press features a quick lesson in national income accounting for folks who clearly do not know it: the Washington Post editorial board and its columnist Robert Samuelson.
Starting at the beginning, we know that we can add up GDP on the output side by summing its components, consumption, investment, government, and net exports. This must be equal to the incomes generated in production. This gives us a basic identity that:
where Y stands for income. This identity must always hold, it is true by definition.
We can then divide Y into disposable income, which is total income, minus taxes. This gives us:
We can then divide disposable income into savings and consumption, since by definition any income that is not consumed is saved. This gives us:
since we now know that Y = C+S+T, we can rewrite equation 1 as,
we then eliminate consumption from both sides and we get:
5) I+G+(X-M) = S+T, rearranging terms gives:
This one actually has a clear meaning. X-M is exports minus imports, or the trade surplus, S-I is private saving minus private investment, and T-G is taxes minus government spending, or the budget surplus. This identity means that the trade surplus is equal to the sum of the surplus of private savings over investment and the government budget surplus. Remember, this is an accounting identity, it must be true.
Now, let's bring this back to the concerns that the Post and Samuelson raise today. Both are very concerned about inflation (I'll beat up on them for this is another post), but they also hold out the hope that the economy will get back to full employment once consumers and firms are more confident about the economy.
But consider the accounting identity. The country has a large trade deficit, which means that X-M is a large negative number. It's currently around 4 percent of GDP (just under $600 billion), but would certainly be much larger if the economy were near full employment. Imports rise with income, so that with a higher level of GDP the trade deficit would expand.
If X-M is negative, then either or both (S-I) or (T-G) MUST be negative. This means either or both that we have negative private savings or we have a budget deficit.
We can have the former with a very low private saving rate, as we did during the stock and housing bubble. In both periods there was aa consumption boom driven by transitory wealth created by the bubbles. It is difficult to understand why anyone would want a low private saving rate.
It means that people reach retirement with very little to support them other than their Social Security or Medicare, which both the Post and Samuelson want to cut. So no one can consistently want both low private saving and cuts to Social Security and Medicare, unless they want the elderly to be very poor. (It is in principle possible to raise investment, but in practice very difficult. The equipment and software investment share of GDP is already almost back to its pre-crash levels, so the prospects of further increases are very limited.)
The other possibility is that we can have a large budget deficit, making T-G a big negative number. But, we know the Post and Samuelson hate budget deficits, they complain about them all the time.
For those who believe in accounting identities and evolution there is only one other place to go, we must get our trade deficit down. We need X-M to be a much smaller negative number. The best mechanism for getting the trade deficit down is reducing the value of the dollar.
A lower dollar would make imports more expensive for people in the United States, leading them to buy fewer imports. It would also make our exports cheaper for people living in other countries, leading them to buy more of our exports. Fewer imports and more exports translates into a smaller trade deficit.
So we should want a lower dollar, right? Not so fast, Samuelson explicitly warns that a falling dollar could be a bad consequence of higher inflation. The Post editorial never mentions a lower dollar as a possible benefit of more expansionary monetary policy.
What can we conclude from this? We can conclude that Samuelson and the Post do not know national income accounting.
I was going to swear off Casey Mulligan for the rest of the summer, but it can be hard to stick to a diet. He has a delicious new post and I just have to take a couple of swipes.
First, he criticizes me and Paul Krugman because we have praised studies of the impact of the stimulus that do not take account of displacement effects. Mulligan's example is the move of Yankee Stadium. He notes that the move created jobs in the new location but correctly points out that these was pretty much entirely offset by the jobs lost in the previous location.
This is a fair enough critique in the context of Yankee Stadium. In fact many claims of job creation by businesses (e.g. Boeing creating jobs in its proposed plant in South Carolina) are in fact stories of displacement. In the Boeing case, the jobs would be coming from unionized facilities in Washington State.
But how do we envision the job displacement in the stimulus story? If Illinois has more jobs in road construction due to the stimulus or more teachers in its classrooms, do we think this means fewer construction workers or teachers have jobs in Indiana or Wisconsin? It's a bit hard to see how that works. In the Yankee Stadium and Boeing example, we are taking something away and moving it to a new location. What exactly is being taken away in the stimulus story?
The other point Mulligan raises that deserves comment is his argument that more workers are employed in the summer because of the increased supply of young people looking for jobs. Mulligan sees this as evidence that the underlying problem is supply and not demand, since the additional supply of young workers seeking jobs led to more employment.
Of course there is a flip side to this picture that Mulligan has ignored. There is also increased demand in the summer. This is when families take vacations and go to beaches and resorts. That is both because the weather is better (not many lifeguards are employed on Coney Island in January) and because the kids are out of school. In other words, spending on tourism and recreation is highly seasonal.
We could use Mulligan's seasonal argument as a test of whether unemployment was driven by supply or demand factors if we could just isolate the supply side of the picture. But there is no easy way to do that and Mulligan certainly has not found one.
The NYT reported on S&P's downgrade of Japanese government debt to the 4th highest level. It explained the downgrade by noting Japan's continued weak growth, political problems and concerns about deflation. These are factors that might concern the Japanese public when they vote for their leaders, but it is difficult to see what they have to do with bondholders holding Japanese government debt.
Bondholders are presumably worried about whether they will get paid back. None of the issues raised in this discussion have any direct bearing on whether Japan's government can repay its debt. In fact, since the debt is denominated in yen, it would be difficult to understand how Japan would be unable to repay its debt, unless it forgets how to print yen.
In fact, the concern about deflation undermines one of the arguments that is occasionally made in the context of the U.S. downgrade, that S&P is concerned about inflation eroding the value of the debt. While this story never made sense in any case, if Japan sees deflation then bondholders will actually be repaid in yen that are worth more than the yen they lent. (The credit rating agencies are not in the business of making inflation forecasts. Furthermore, if an increased risk of inflation was the basis for its downgrade then S&P should have downgraded all dollar denominated debt regardless of the issuer.)
It is important for the media to analyze the basis for these downgrades since there are serious questions about the competence of S&P and the other credit rating companies. They rated hundreds of billions of dollars of subprime mortgage backed securities as Aaa. They also gave top investment grade ratings to Lehman, Bear Stearns and AIG until their bankruptcies (or bailout in the case of AIG).
Given their abysmal track record, it is entirely plausible that there is no basis for their downgrades of sovereign debt. There certainly cannot be a prima facie assumption that they have any idea what they are doing.
The NYT told readers that the Fed will be reluctant to engage in more quantitative easing or take other steps to boost the economy because it is worried about inflation. It then told readers that inflation has been 3.6 percent over the last year, implying that this is a serious problem.
Actually, as a matter of policy the Fed has long focused on the core inflation rate, which excludes food and energy prices. Over the last 12 months, the core inflation rate has been just 1.8 percent, which is below its 2.0 percent target. Furthermore, in prior years the Fed had not even viewed the 2.0 percent core rate as a strict bound. The year over year inflation rate was consistently above 2.0 percent in two decades prior to the recent recession, with the exception of a period in 2003-2004 when the weak economy pushed inflation below this rate. In other words, if Bernanke and the Fed now view 2.0 percent core inflation as an upper bound, then this is a much stricter anti-inflation policy than they have applied in the past.
Furthermore, higher inflation is actually one of the goals of a quantitative easing policy. Higher inflation reduces the real interest rate. Firms are more likely to invest if they expect that they can sell the goods that they produce at a higher price in future years. This is why Bernanke actuallyadvocated that the Bank of Japan deliberately target a higher inflation rate in a paper that he wrote while he was still a professor at Princeton.
This is also the reason that deflation can be a problem as the article notes. However, there is no magic to zero. The problem of deflation is that the the inflation rate is lower than is desired. If the desired inflation rate is 4.0 percent, then the drop of the inflation rate from 0.5 to -0.5 percent is no worse than the drop from 1.5 percent to 0.5 percent. Deflation per se is only a problem when the rate of price decline is so rapid that it undermines the ability to plan. This was the case at the start of the Great Depression when prices were declining at a near double-digit annual rate.
That is how CBS News would report it. In its discussion of the rise in the deficit in the years that President Obama has been in office it tells its audience:
"Mr. Obama blames policies inherited from his predecessor's administration for the soaring debt. He singles out:
He goes on to blame the recession, and its resulting decrease in tax revenue on businesses, for making fewer sales, and more employees being laid off. He says the recession also resulted in more government spending due to increased unemployment insurance payments, subsidies to farms and funding of infrastructure programs that were part of his stimulus program."
It is likely that President Obama blames the recession for the rise in the deficit because it happens to be true. For example, the deficit was 0.4 percent of GDP in 1974. In 1976 it was 4.0 percent of GDP ($600 billion in today's economy). In 1981 the deficit was 2.6 percent of GDP. In 1983, in the middle of the recession, it hit 6.0 percent of GDP. In 1989 the deficit was 2.8 percent of GDP. The recession raised the deficit to 4.7 percent of GDP in 1992. And in 2000 the surplus was 2.4 percent of GDP. The impact of the recession, coupled with the war and the Bush tax cuts, turned this into a deficit of 3.5 percent of GDP in 2003.
In other words, this is not a debatable point. Recessions lead to deficits, and severe recessions, like the one that accompanied President Obama's move to the White House lead to large deficits. Reporters should know this and if they do, they should identify this as a fact to their audience, not an assertion by a politician to be viewed with skepticism.
That's what the Dow Jones effectively told readers today. The article reported that in response to a question at a conference:
"Greenspan also said he believes that the sharp rise in gold prices is due to market concerns about inflation taking off in the long run. He noted how there has never been such a major expansion of credit in U.S. economic history."
Let's look this one up. There is an organization called the "Federal Reserve Board" that puts out really good data on credit. If we look at its most recent Flow of Funds accounts, we see that credit for the economy as a whole expanded at a 3.0 percent annual rate in 2009, a 4.2 percent annual rate in 2010, and a 2.3 percent annual rate in the first quarter of 2011, the most recent quarter for which data is available.
Has there ever been "such a major expansion of credit in U.S. economic history?"
Well, actually credit expanded more rapidly than the 4.2 percent rate in 2010 in every single year that Greenspan chaired the Fed. In fact, it expanded more rapidly in every year in this series (going back to 1976) and probably every year since the Great Depression. In other words, for Alan Greenspan night is day, up is down, he is looking at an extraordinarily slow pace of credit expansion and telling reporters that is the fastest on record.
Of course, Greenspan is probably not familiar with the Flow of Funds data. If he had been, he probably would have noted the historic drop in the ratio of homeowners' equity to market value that occurred even as house prices were soaring to record levels. (Rising house prices translate one to one into equity. Other things equal, rising house prices should have meant a rising ratio of equity to value.) This was a very clear warning sign about the housing bubble to those familiar with the Fed's data.
A serious news service should not be passing along such ill-informed nonsense to its readers uncorrected, except if its purpose is to point out that the person who chaired the Fed for almost two decades doesn't have a clue about the economy.
A Reuters article on plans by the European Union to impose a tax on foreign exchange transactions (actually the proposed tax would apply to a wide array of financial transactions, not just foreign exchange) reads like an editorial against such a tax. It tells readers that the tax could cause traders to leave the London market, that it would reduce liquidity and thereby increase volatility and also disrupt efforts to develop algorithms for intraday trading. It describes these as unintended consequences of the tax.
If it had talked to a proponent of the tax, she would have noted the size of the taxes being discussed would just raise transactions costs back to where they were in the 80s or 90s. The cost of trading has plummeted in the last 3 decades due to computers. This tax will simply reverse some of this decline. There was already an extremely well-developed market in foreign exchange in the 80s.
The effect of a tax on volatility is unclear. While it reduces the incentive for arbitrage, it will also make speculation less profitable. This could make large speculative swings of the sort that we have seen in financial markets in recent weeks less likely.
Finally, it is not clear why it views the fact that the tax will make it more difficult to construct trading algorithms as an unintended consequence. These algorithms may provide large profits to the people who develop them, but the benefits to the economy and society are likely to be near zero. If a transactions tax discourages skilled mathematicians and computer programmers from developing complex formulas for financial arbitrage and instead has them work in a productive area of the economy, then the tax will have been a great success.
[Addendum: Reuters does go a small bit of the way back toward saving its soul by running this column from my friend Mark Thoma.]
The Post had a front page article that implied that we should be concerned about the possibility that GE and other companies were transferring sophisticated technologies to China. Actually, the same argument that holds the United States benefits from importing low cost manufactured goods from China would also hold that it benefits from importing low cost high tech products from China. The latter would put downward pressure on the wages of engineers and other highly-skilled workers, but lead to lower prices for high tech products and thereby free up money for other consumption.
It is interesting that the Post so explicitly expresses its concern, in the news section, about losing high skilled jobs due to trade, but applauds the loss of less-skilled skilled jobs.

Gillard's Nauru decision 'political' - Stephen
PUBLISHED: 22 Jul 2010 07:48:06 | UPDATED: 22 Jul 2010 07:48:06PRINT EDITION: 22 Jul 2010
Nauru's president says he's concerned his country is being overlooked by Prime Minister Julia Gillard as an offshore processing destination for political reasons.
The island nation's president, Marcus Stephen, is keen for the detention facility built by the Howard government to be used again.
But Ms Gillard is intent on negotiations with East Timor and has ruled out Nauru because it is not a signatory to the United Nations refugee convention.
Mr Stephen has said his country is willing to sign up to the convention.
He said Ms Gillard may have overlooked Nauru for political reasons.
"That would be a worry, and it would take a very strong leader to come out and say this is the best, not what we think is best politically," Mr Stephen told the ABC.
The issue of asylum seekers is a focal point of attack for the coalition.
Two boats were intercepted in Australian waters on Wednesday, the first since the election was called.
Opposition border protection spokesman Michael Keenan used the arrivals to push the issue on Thursday.
"Clearly the people smugglers are not taking her (Ms Gillard) seriously," he said.
"This is the second boat in 24 hours, and sixth boat to arrive since the prime minister announced her so-called plan to stop the boats."
Mr Keenan said it was further evidence the East Timor solution was just a quick fix ahead of the election.

A hop, skip, and a jump. An exceptional ability to do those three things in rapid succession, and over large distances, has made Samyr Laine '06 an elite athlete. It made Laine an All-American in the triple jump in 2005, and it compelled him to defer a number of job offers from elite law firms after earning his J.D. from Georgetown.
Six years after graduating, it has landed Laine a spot in this summer's Olympic Games. But despite his atheltics accomplishments heading into London, it is his story that makes him one of the media darlings of the upcoming Olympics.
Laine, born and raised in New York, will be representing his parents' home nation of Haiti, and has a chance to unify a country torn apart by the devastating 2010 earthquake and the opportunity to earn the nation's first individual medal since Silvio Cator took a silver in the 1928 Amsterdam Games.
Laine has also garnered national headlines because of the man with whom he shared his Straus D-11 suite back in 2002 and 2003. Mark E. Zuckerberg, creator of Facebook—Laine was user number 14 on the site—lived with the Olympic athlete during their freshman year.
But Laine's story, both at Harvard and elsewhere, is compelling beyond the confines of that fateful dorm room.
Laine, who eventually served as the co-captain of the Crimson track and field team, did not make his high school roster as a freshman at Newburgh Academy. Competing as a middle-distance runner in 7th and 8th grade, he was cut in 1998, prompting a switch to tennis.
But Michael Johnson's performance in the 200 and 400 meters at the 2000 Sydney Olympics inspired Laine to return to the track, this time as a jumper.
"Seeing Michael Johnson doing his thing really got me back into it," Laine said. "Since then, it's just been hard work. I don't want to give it up; it's the general pursuit of excellence."
The return proved successful. Laine became an elite high-school athlete and was recruited by a number of colleges, choosing Harvard and matriculating in the fall of 2002.
Once with the Crimson, Laine began a collegiate career that saw him set indoor and outdoor triple jump school records.
His fellow jumpers in the class of 2006, after finishing their careers at Harvard, remain life-long friends.
"We referred to ourselves as the 'Triumvirate' and the 'Three Stooges,'" said Travis Hughes '06, a former long and triple-jumper who is now a Houston-based attorney. "Sam, Lawrence [Adjah '06], and I became very close, which makes sense considering the fact that we ran, worked out, and jumped together every day for eight months out of the year for four years."
Adjah and Laine were co-captains their senior year, and after graduation, both went to the University of Texas to compete as graduate students, with Laine receiving a degree in kinesiology-sports management.

Quoted Text Hello, Heidi : Just to share information for Carl who has tinnitus. Homeopathic medicine - Aconite, or berbal Gingko leaves (check blood type first). One of my friend use two (pcs) double point white crystal (natural point), one above the left ear and above on the right while her mother was sitting. The tinnitus has gone and did not occur for several years. I will mail again if she has further info on this. Take care! lily
Quoted from Jared I am prone to agreeing that this vitamin e is not such a good thing for me. However, the pain in my ears and the ringing "vanishes" when I take it with the other vitamins in the hearing loss protcol. I might use vitamin e by taking a teaspoon of red palm oil - it has only 50% of the days requirement. My pill is something like 1600% the daily requirement. That dose puts me in a stupor!
Quoted from Possum Confused... How can you have a water soluble oil based vitamin?

(Editor's note: The following is an excerpt from a chapter from Jane Miller's book, "Sleep Your Way to the Top (and Other Myths About Business Success)", which is being published by FG Press in May 2014.)
Myth: It's okay to cry at work.
Truth: I know. You just can't help it. You want to be the real you at the office. Feel free to be real, just not THAT real.
Crying at work. It happens. Depending on your emotional make-up, it may happen a lot.
And you know he is thinking it, he knows that you know he is thinking it, but he is still thinking it all the same:
Of course we know it's so NOT that. We just don't want to be criticized, ever. We want to be perfect. We don't want to be told we did something wrong. Even if it is said in the nicest possible way, it's still being said. To you. About you. And that sucks.
So, I know there are times when you want to cry. Believe me, when I was in the first half of my career I cried more times than I would like to admit. I consider myself a passionate person. That's really a nice way of saying I can be emotional.
I have been known to tear up when something good happens, like seeing cute puppies on a commercial. Luckily, I have never seen a cute puppy commercial while at work.
I tear up when something bad happens, like getting negative feedback. Negative feedback is a gift. An icky gift, but a gift none-the-less. And when my boss at Frito-Lay said I was high-maintenance when I wanted to talk to him about how my stellar career had derailed, I took that as negative feedback. And I did not make matters better by having big wet tears running down my face
He was already uncomfortable giving me the high-maintenance message. The crying just boosted his uncomfortableness to a heightened level. The net result was that instead of feeling sorry for pitiful Jane, he was just plain pissed-off that he had to deal with me. For the record, I was pissed off at myself that I couldn't control my emotions.
Crying is not a tool. It doesn't work as a tactic. Except maybe with that cute cop who's about to give you a speeding ticket. But not with your boss.
So what should you do instead?
Own it. If you make a mistake? Admit you were wrong. If you are self-aware enough to admit this, then you won't be taken by surprise when the boss tells you what you did wrong.
Dodge it. Feeling like an emotional basket case on the day of a meeting? Reschedule. Avoid being in a situation that will bring out the tears. If you can't reschedule? Go for a run, take a walk, hop on that hot yoga mat around the corner. Exercise clears the head. Even a walk around the block can help dramatically. Leave the emotion-charged environment and head outside. Fresh air helps.
Fix it. If you get feedback that makes you want to weep? Be proactive and find a solution that shows the boss you "get it" and want to make it right. The more fact-based you can be, the easier it is to separate yourself from the emotions. If you have no clue about a solution, ask for help, so you don't make the same mistake again.
If you are about to cry your head off, remember that you're human. Wipe the mascara off, blow your nose, hold your head high and try to pretend it never happened. Remember you can always get with your best friend that night and imagine your boss with a noose around his neck or naked on the boardroom conference table while everyone takes turns laughing at him.

I understand that price is the #1 consideration when looking at the alkaline water options.
This guide will give you the lowdown on the different options to get alkaline water into your life in the most cost effective way possible.
I've also created a comparison of the different alkaline water methods and given pro's and con's so be sure to read that guide too.
Cost-Effective Alkaline Water
Alkaline Water Ionizers
I am going to start with water ionizers because not only do I believe they are by FAR the best way to get alkaline water, but also because I think they can be cost effective too. I understand that there is an up front outlay, but we have worked very hard and have managed to arrange an interest free payment plan to try and make these ionizers as accessible and affordable as possible.
We are just days away from launching this payment plan and I will let you know once I know the exact details – but we are hoping to make it comparable to buying pH drops on a monthly basis.
Plus, with ionized water you also can figure in the following savings:
- Bottled Water: according to which.co.uk (the UK's leading consumer advise service), bottled water costs around 31p per litre if bought in bulk – which at 4 litres per person, per day certainly adds up. This is £38 per person, per month. So presuming there are two of you in the household, on average, this is £76 per month on bottled water
- Cleaning Products: remember, acid water from a Chanson Ionizer at pH 3.5 or less is totally sterilizing and able to rapidly kill bacteria. Click here for the ionizer scientific proof and click here for more acid water uses – plus, click here for the story of the Sheraton using acid water to clean instead of toxic chemicals. Presuming you use, on average bathroom spray, kitchen surface spray, a bottle of bleach, oven cleaner, floor cleaner and glass cleaner and these last, on average 2 months – this will cost you approximately: £14.35 per month. PLUS – you will not have so many harmful chemicals in your life and around your kids. (Prices sourced from sainsburys.co.uk).
- Make Up & Skin Cleanser: acid water between pH 3.5 and 4.5 is also fantastic for the skin, as a toner and make up remover. This would equate to a saving of around £7 per month – plus you, again, won't be bathing your face with chemicals.
I know this might still seem expensive to you – but I hope that our interest-free ionizer payment plan will help make it more affordable.
What you get: alkalised, ionized water that is pH 9.5, antioxidant rich (ORP of -450), microclusterd for better hydration and filtered to remove the toxins in tap water.
What you miss out on: nothing.
COST: about £40-£50 per month for unlimited use and production of acid and alkaline water (price TBC).
Lemon Water
You can make alkalizing water simply by squeezing fresh lemon into it. While lemon in it's natural state is acidic (citric acid of course), when it is metabolised it has an alkaline effect on the body. Click here for more of an explanation on how lemon water is alkalising.
So this is super cheap and alkaline BUT…
I would not recommend this being your only source of alkaline water. I personally only do this once per day, in the morning to get my body awoken, my metabolism working and my digestive system cleansing.
This does not make the high pH water your body needs. You should see lemon water as a cleansing, enjoyable drink rather than an alkaline water.
What you get: a cleansing drink that is tasty and very mildly alkalising to the system
What you miss out on: the high pH needed, the antioxidant content, the microclustering and the filtration
COST: about 10p per litre.
pH Drops
pH drops are fantastic on-the-go and do a great job of increasing the alkalinity of tap water and filtered water. I would personally use them with a filter too as tap water contains a lot of rubbish you don't want to be drinking.
What you get: increased pH.
What you miss out on: the antioxidant content, the microclustering and the filtration
COST: about £30-£40 per month.
Portable Ionizer Jugs
I love these little units and took one all over Europe and the USA with me last year – happily filtering tap water wherever I went. They definitely do not even get close to replacing an actual ionizer, but they are handy for at the office, in the second home/holiday home or when travelling.
What you get: reasonable pH, reasonable filtration.
What you miss out on: the antioxidant content, the microclustering and the filtration.
COST: about £50 for the jug, plus replacement filter costs of around £30 per year.
I hope this helps! As you can see, there are varying costs – but if you are committed to paying around £30-50 per month on pH drops or other filtration methods then I strongly recommend you look into buying a Chanson ionizer from us on our interest free payment plan!

Fuel Reduction Programme
Each summer, bushfires in our forests pose a significant threat to communities in rural areas, and on the rural-urban interface. Large, uncontrollable bushfires can have serious consequences for Tasmanians. The Tasmanian Government has committed funds towards a program of planned fuel reduction burns to help protect Tasmanians from the threat of wildfires. The program will see the State's three firefighting agencies, Forestry Tasmania, the Tasmania Fire Service and the Parks and Wildlife Service combine their expertise in a concerted program aimed at reducing fuel loads around the state.
The objective of the inter-agency Fuel Reduction Burning Program is to create corridors of low fuel loads to help prevent large wildfires.
The program complements but does not replace fuel reduction burning and other means of fuel reduction close to houses and other assets.

The U.S. Embassy, in collaboration with Notre Dame University (NDU) and Berytech, sponsored facilitated sessions of an entrepreneurship-themed online course entitled: "What's Your Big Idea?" The course highlighted best-practices for entrepreneurs including fundraising, team building, and how to translate ideas into successful business platforms. Public Affairs Officer Robin Holzhauer underscored the United States' longstanding commitment to supporting education in Lebanon through several initiatives funded by the Department of State and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

Where did the idea of game theory come from? When asked why Game Theory, Mr. Zadi Hobeika stated "I was working for Google till last summer and I was handling advertising solution for the region. So, I was dealing with top companies and top agencies by helping them tackle and implement". He added that given the high demand in the Middle Eastern market it's a huge opportunity and the risk is worth it. In fact, there are agencies that are handling the big customers, agencies and freelancers handling the individuals or small companies but, there are few tackling the mid-market of digital agencies.

A Michigan lawmaker wants to register reporters to ensure they're credible and have "good moral character."
State Sen. Bruce Patterson is introducing legislation that will regulate reporters much as the state regulates hairdressers, auto mechanics and plumbers. Patterson, who also practices constitutional law, says the general public is being overwhelmed by an increasing number of media outlets -- traditional, online and citizen generated -- and an even greater amount of misinformation.

never met a pistol I didn't like.......being able to afford them is another matter and the only reason I don't own any SIGS, HK's or custom 1911's.
This is a discussion on Guns I won't ever own within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; never met a pistol I didn't like.......being able to afford them is another matter and the only reason I don't own any SIGS, HK's or ...
never met a pistol I didn't like.......being able to afford them is another matter and the only reason I don't own any SIGS, HK's or custom 1911's.
Kimbers are the guns you show your friends....Glocks are the ones you show your enemies.
For me its Glock mainly. I've bought one (30), and it sat on my shelf for a month un-fired. I eventually traded it in... just had no desire to shoot it. The other one I never consider seriously is Kimber.
Funny. I was not a Glock fan but bought the G29 because I wanted a 10mm compact for carry. Was very skeptical of Kimber but bought a Stainless Target II in 10mm because I wanted a fullsize 1911 in 10mm, and it was available at a good price. Plan on selling the Glock, and I am in the process of testing the Kimber to see what it can and can't do.
The Kimber is dead on accurate for me. I'll probably keep this one.
There's nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive
I'm not sure what purpose a generic statement like this serves?
Pretty sure every known manufacturer will appear on this list eventually and if anyone actually heeded the list there would be no guns left to choose from.
Kelt Tec- NEVER AGAIN! biggest POS ever. they look and feel like they were made in a Chinese garage with dim lighting
Glock- don't fit my hand well
Springfield- pretending to be American
Taurus- crap quality
Jennings Bryants etc Saturday night specials
Kahr- religious cult association
Kimber- way too overpriced!
Some others like H&K I would consider if I had a larger budget but I don't. Plus I've shot Sigs, Steyrs, H&Ks etc and have never found them to be more accurate than my middle of the road Rugers. I'd rather spend my money on ammo to train with.
To each their own though.
"Was there no end to the conspiracy of irrational prejudice against Red Ryder and his peacemaker?"
Revolvers, more elegant weapons for a more civilized age.
I was adament before that I would NEVER own a revolver.... now my primary carry is a Ruger LCR chambered in .38 Special. Right now I have no desire to ever own a Glock because I think they are flippin' ugly, but who knows. One tings for sure- I wont say I wont buy a certain brand or model until I have first hand experience.... personally I thought my Taurus PT99 was a heck of a gun, but a little too bulky to carry.
I would limit my list to models that don't "feel" right. If it is not a comfortable grip for me, it would affect my ability to shoot it. I don't find a brand as being on my "NO" list.
Any .410/.45 revolver. Or 28 gauge revolver for that matter.
The OP Said "Own" Not carry ; ) PS Big difference
A Native Floridian = RARE
Low Point,,,oops I mean High Point. All others are on the table at least once
Light travels faster than sound...thats why some people appear bright before they speak

How to update your firmware
The continued evolution of Blu-ray player means the rise of incompatibility of new Blu-ray discs. Also, the constant DRM tweaking/updating of movie studios have raised the possibility that your Blu-ray player can't correctly play the latest movies. If you buy the latest movies and your Blu-ray player can't play them, there is good chance that you will need to update the firmware.
Firmware is type of computer program that is written for specific hardware such as computer or computer components. It controls the very basic parameters for hardware and thus can not be easily accessed by users. Manufactures can update Blu-ray players to play the latest movies and contents.
If you have Blu-ray player with the profile 2.0, you will most likely be able to update the firmware via simple internet download. This is because the profile 2.0 requires internet connection for BD-Live contents. However, if you own one of the older players with previous profiles then you will likely need to burn a CD or DVD to patch the firmware.
To update to latest firmware follow these easy steps based on your situation (Always consult owner's manual before proceeding with the update):
1. Update your blu ray player via Wireless or Ethernet Cable:
To update your blu ray player with the latest software, you must update to latest firmware. The firmware is like an operating system that drives the electronic gadgets and it requires updates once in a while. If your blu ray player come equipped with WI-FI then simply just connect to your router. Depends on the brand of blu ray players, navigating to this option varies, but usually the option to upgrade your blu ray player should be under settings. If you happen to have a blu ray player that is not wi-fi but has an ethernet port on the back, then just hook up your ethernet cable to either directly to internet modem or your router. Then proceed with firmware update under settings.
2. Update your firmware via CD, DVD, or USB:
In the event you have a blu ray player that is not Internet capable, you still can update your blu ray player's firmware via CD, DVD, or USB. Go to the bottom of this page and click on "firmware update" link based on the brand of your player. Then download the software directly on to your PC or MAC. Then either burn the software to CD/DVD or you can transfer the software over to USB thumb drive (memory stick). Now, under settings on your blu ray player, you should see an option that lets you update your player via CD/DVD or USB. Please consult owner's manual to make sure that this option is available. Usually on the manufacturer's website, you will see a different types of software. It will usually state if the software is for blank CD/DVD or USB.
3. Call the manufacturer to obtain software to update your blu ray player:
Go to the bottom of this webpage and click on "firmware update" link based on the brand of your blu ray player. Then click contact or support link to reach customer service and request to have the software or firmware sent to you via cd/dvd format or usb thumb drive.
Videos on how to update your blu-ray player (Note that majority of the blu ray players are updated same way mentioned above):
You shouldn't have to update the firmware too often. However, we recommend checking for new update every 3 months or so to insure proper playback. Check our firmware update section for the latest firmware updates.

Making Molecular Analysis Count in Diagnostics,...
Answer Lies in Preventing the Unraveling...
A Fast-Moving and Evolving Space
Scratching the Surface of the Microbiome...
Despite the fact that there exist a number of periodic table apps, the Oxford Instruments Periodic Table provides a unique (albeit commercial) take on the traditional periodic table by emphasizing each element's X-ray lines and energies, two characteristics used in X-ray spectroscopy to identify the presence of particular elements. While the app does not fail to incorporate a commercial aspect to the app, highlighting the particular Oxford Instruments products that can be used to detect each element, this feature is neither distracting nor detrimental to the app as a whole. (The greater flaw of the app is that it omits the atomic weights from the periodic table, thereby limiting the table's use strictly to X-ray spectroscopy.) Explaining why particular equipment detects certain elements but not others, rather than simply providing the technical specs, would also improve the app.
