Stephen King: The question that went unanswered in Davos: who ultimately pays?
Can debtor nations deliver austerity year after year or must creditor nations take some of the burden?
Monday 31 January 2011
Who pays? This was the missing question at the World Economic Forum in Davos this year. The mood was relatively upbeat. Fears of a Great Depression Mark II – prevalent last year – had receded. Most economies, with the UK a notable exception, were now expanding. Some economies in the developing world were expanding a bit too quickly. And whereas last year, many participants were fretting about deflation, the word on everyone's lips this year was inflation.
But who pays? While the volume of economic activity may now be heading upwards, this recovery is creating both winners and losers. Davos routinely tends to be full of winners: losers might lower the tone. Yet, a long way away from the champagne receptions, the ski slopes and the pseudo-intellectual posturing, the world has more than its fair share of losers. The costs of the global financial crisis are still being revealed. As they become more visible, the threat of political and social unrest will only increase.
Earlier last week, and in Newcastle rather than Davos, the Governor of the Bank of England revealed one set of losers. In recent times, UK inflation has persistently been higher than expected. Today's inflation, however, is not of the old-fashioned kind seen in the 1970s, when prices chased wages ever higher. Today's inflation is of a different hue altogether. Reflecting earlier declines in sterling and the more recent spike in global commodity prices, the cost of living is now rising at a 3.7 per cent annual rate and will be rising even faster in the months to come as January's VAT hike hits home. Wage growth, however, is extraordinarily modest, running at an annual rate of a touch over 2 per cent. Put another way, workers are steadily becoming worse off.
Mr King explained in Newcastle that this was a necessary adjustment following years of excess. That may be true. It's a completely different message, however, to the one offered by the Bank two or three years ago. Back then, the big fall in sterling was supposed to "rebalance" the UK economy away from debt-fuelled consumption towards investment and exports. No mention, however, was made of the likely reduction in living standards associated with a sudden rise in inflation. The Bank simply didn't expect inflation to rise (even though the pursuit of quantitative easing both in the UK and in the US may have contributed to the gains in commodity prices now being blamed for the UK's sudden inflationary surge).
Then we have the crisis in the eurozone. Tensions have eased over the past few days, helped by commitments by anyone in power prepared to offer a Davos soundbite that the euro could not possibly break up (would anyone have been foolish enough to have said anything else?). But despite the bailouts which have provided a near-term easing of pressures in eurozone bond markets, the underlying problem remains. Can the debtor nations really deliver austerity, year after year, or will some of the burden of adjustment have to be taken by the creditor nations, whether in the form of persistent fiscal transfers or a debt restructuring? Who pays: the Irish, Greeks and Spanish who borrowed too much and either lied or invested the funds in dodgy property ventures, or the Germans and others creditors who lent at stupidly low interest rates to the debtor nations in the first place?
Inflation is on the rise in the emerging world. Western nations have used all sorts of desperate measures to kick-start their economies but many of the benefits of monetary and fiscal stimulus have leaked out into China, India and Brazil. They are suffering from what might be termed "policy pollution". Their growth rates are now too high and inflation is, as a result, on the rise.
The Americans – and many Europeans – argue that emerging nations should simply allow their currencies to appreciate to prevent inflation from rising too quickly. The argument is simple enough. If these countries are to bring inflation under control, interest rates need to go up. And it is difficult to raise interest rates without accepting some degree of currency appreciation.
But many emerging nations are reluctant to allow their currencies to rise too far. China worries that a rapid renminbi appreciation will only lead to huge speculative inflows, fuelling an even bigger property boom. As a major commodity exporter, Brazil is struggling to keep a lid on its currency, fearing that an excessive commodity-fuelled appreciation will damage prospects for its manufacturing exporters.
The cost of currency stability, however, has been a rise in inflation. If inflation is a worry in the developed world, it's a much bigger problem in the emerging world. In poorer countries, people spend proportionately a lot more of their (meagre) incomes on the essentials of life, most obviously food and energy. And it is these prices which have been rising so quickly. As a result, income inequality is heading upwards as those left behind in the race towards higher living standards are feeling the pinch. Inevitably, political tensions are on the rise. Some governments are coping by providing subsidies on food (at considerable fiscal cost). Other governments are suddenly discovering that their legitimacy is now in question.
It would be wrong to suggest that the uprisings in Tunisia, Yemen and now Egypt are a direct consequence of rising commodity prices and, thus, an indirect consequence of the monetary stimulus measures coming from the US and Europe. But it's not so difficult to believe that rapid gains in food prices may have been a catalyst for all that has followed. Experimental policies in one part of the world may be having hugely disruptive effects elsewhere.
Given all these problems, it's not so surprising that Americans at Davos were relatively upbeat. After all, while other nations seem to be suffering, the US economy is doing a bit better. Or at least that's what American captains of industry seem to believe. Yet their view is biased. US profits have rebounded massively over the past few years but only because there has been the most enormous shake-out of labour. And, increasingly, those extra profits are not being invested in the US but, instead, in other parts of the world where labour costs are a lot lower.
Still, it now looks as though the US economy will expand at between 3 and 4 per cent this year, which really doesn't sound too bad. But it's only going to deliver this rate of growth because, unlike most European countries, it still believes it can carry on borrowing with no real regard for the interests of its foreign creditors. Yet, as Europe's sovereign debt crisis has demonstrated, countries cannot for ever live on loans from others on exceedingly generous terms.
Will the US also eventually be faced with a day of reckoning? And if the creditors turn their backs on the US, triggering either a bond market rout or a dollar collapse, what then would happen to the US economy? Put another way, who ultimately pays?

We are from San Francisco and have travelled literally around the world meeting great people through AirBnB. What an experience!
Eric is a musician ((website hidden)), and Zucu is an entrepreneur and amateur chef of French and Argentine descent.
Feel free to check out our reviews to get a better sense of who we are. We hope to be meeting you soon!
Zucu and Eric
Zucu And Eric has completed online and offline ID verification.
My wife and I had a great time at Eric and Zucu's place during our stay. They were very accommodating, and left lots of nice touches around the apartment to make us feel welcomed! Their place was clean, comfortable and very convenient to the city via BART. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Bay Area!
We had a lovely stay. Zucu and Eric's apartment is spacious and cozy. It had all the cooking utensils we needed. Communication was great, Zucu made sure the check in process was smooth.
The location was awesome! Big, clean room, perfect to stay a week in. We were allowed to consume all the foodstuff they had left in the kitchen. We felt like we would live in a hotel. Thumbs up!
The apartment was cozy and the bed was awesome. The host left home made granola/ yogurt and fresh fruit. The apartment was within walkind distance to Bart train. A great weekend getaway!!!!
Zucu and Eric's studio was a great location and they were top notch hosts. I did not meet them during my stay but their communication was on point and checking in was worry free. They also left notes throughout the place which made everything convenient and thoughtful, as well as yummy snacks and treats. Unfortunately there was a BART strike during my stay, but driving across the bay bridge to the city was still nice and easy. If you're looking to stay out of the loud/busy city but still want to be able to have quick access, this is the perfect spot. It also gave me a chance to check out the Oakland/Berkeley area which turned out to be great cities. Thanks again Zucu & Eric, cheers!
It was our first experience with Airbnb and boy, were we pleased !!! Zucu and Eric's studio is the perfect getaway to relax and unwind after a long day of visiting in San Francisco. The studio is LITERALLY 10 minutes away from the Embarcadero station. Super easy access. We were greeted with a nice bottle of wine, little notes everywhere and even goods for breakfast the next morning (homemade granola, homemade yogurt, fruits, coffee). The studio is clean and cozy, perfect for 2 people. The hosts are attentive to our needs, always answer quickly and willing to help. They also provided us with a list of nice places to eat in the area. A great way to not have to worry where to eat on the first night. It is the perfect place to stay if you want to have a place to yourself. We we DELIGHTED with our stay and would definitely rent this studio again, should we go back to the Bay Area. A definite MUST for all travelers ! :)
Zucu and Eric are truly excellent hosts--lively, friendly, and helpful. We arrived to a bright, spacious apartment with so many surprise amenities such as welcome wine, homemade granola and yogurt for breakfast, and supplies in the bathroom too! Zucu and Eric sent lots of information before our trip along with great local recommendations. This has been our favorite Airbnb rental so far and we're looking forward to our next trip.
For people who don't read all the comment, this place is PERFECT! The place was very tiny & clean, with all you need to be like at home! Just bring your luggage, and enjoy it! Zucu leave us a traveller package as a welcome gift with some food for the first breakfast, that was awesome! The house is near to a train station (BART - West Oakland) which bring you in SF in few minutes. The neighborhood is very nice too. The street is safe. Well, in one word : perfect! I recommend that place to spend few days in the Bay! Thanks again ZUCU!
We had the pleasure of hosting some of Zucu's coworkers during their company retreat to DC. They were a fun bunch and left the place in great shape. Would host again!
It was nice to have Zucu and Eric and their friends in our house. They are very friendly and understanding. We exchanged a lot of information prior to their arrival and once they are at the rental, they made themselves feel at home. They enjoyed their stay and did not need anything from us from that point on. We definitely want to have them visiting us again in the future.
Zucu and Eric were wonderful guests. They were very respectful of my cabin, and left it in great shape. They were even considerate enough to point out a small repair that was needed. They are welcome back anytime!
Unfortunately I never met Zucu and Eric but the communication with them was first class level. I am very glad they decided to stay at my place. They left the place in perfect condition. I would rent my place to them anytime again.
great guests welcome anytime~!
It was a pleasure having Zucu and Eric stay at the flat. They communicated well with me and treated the house with care. Great guests! Come back any time. I am glad it was a successful trip!
Zucu and Eric are wonderful! They're friendly, respectful and communicative. Left the place spotless!! Welcome back any time!!
We can't say enough to express what a fantastic first time hosting experience we had hosting Zuku and Eric. Besides being wonderful people, they were perfect guests, and an absolute joy to meet! The are always welcome to our home!!
Zucu and Eric were very thoughtful and communicative; leaving our place very tidy. We highly recommend them as guests to the Air Bnb Community!

just opened - Just Us Cafe

Just Us Cafe...had a grand opening today. Great coffee ( I had a chai latte), great atmosphere and fantastic looking healthy muffins, salads, etc. I understand they will be opening another location in the new few weeks. Anyone else been there?
where is it?

A heads up on Just Us: the east end location (in the Beach, next to Gardenscapes) is nowhere close to completion.
re: embee
Thanks, I was planning on heading to the Beach(es) tomorrow specifically for one of their lattes and a bag of Jungle Blend.
re: cheesymama
oops..forgot to mention this detail...490 Queen St. West!! Enjoy....
I haven't been yet, but I've been using Just Us! coffee beans at home for a couple of years now - fabulous coffee.
Just Us! is a Nova Scotia-based co-op coffee roaster that roasts only fairly traded beans.
re: FlavoursGal
The cafe is really nice but I won't be buying my beans there. They are almost five dollars
more expensive a bag ($13.95 for 340g) than at Just Us! in Nova Scotia and where I get
it in Toronto. Seems a little much.0-
re: foodieinTO
You're right - that works out to about 0.04 per gram. I pay 58.95 for a 5-pound bag at Qi Natural Foods, which works out to just under 0.026 per gram. Quite a price difference!
I did go in there the other day for an espresso (very good) and picked up a pineapple zucchini muffin, which was wonderful, along with a bag of their really delicious chocolate covered almonds. The muffin and chocolate almonds were noticeably less sweet than one usually encounters with these products -- which, in my mind, made them vastly superior.

re: foodieinTO
I enjoyed my food there as well. I just feel like it has been opened in Toronto to
capitalize on fair trade organic and really inflate the prices of the coffee. None of that profit goes back to the farmers. They don't even do biodegradable cups or recycled plastic bags.But I agree that the food is quite good. Loved the chocolate almonds.0
I heard that Just Us! Cafe in the Beach will now be opening at the end of June. Did anyone else see them on Canoe Live?

OK place. Good espresso. Was turned off by the greasy looking display of cookies and danishes etc.
re: dianabanana
Here's my review written last July ('07) - (pics on my blog though):
Whatever happened to the original Tequila Bookworm locale? Well, it's been replaced with Just Us! Coffee Roasters Co-op - Canada's first Fair Trade coffee roaster believing in "people and the planet before profits". Justly, the cafe only sells products (Coffees, Teas, Sugar and Chocolates) which are 100% certified Fair Trade and Organic. When you walk in, you are reminded of Tequila Bookworm's old layout, only now everything is shiny, brand new and more airy. The square tables in the front are filled with patrons enjoying some java after work, the music is new age, and the staff behind the counter are young, hip…and novice.
After learning that their chocolates are created (handcrafted) in their own chocolate factory in the town of Hantsport, in Nova Scotia, I knew I had to give one a try. The Midnight Mint, is a 42g, $2.99 organic, dark, smooth, melt-on-your-fingers slab of chocolately goodness with a hint of peppermint. In other words, 'twas rather delectable.
Not only do they have chocolate, coffee and tea...Just Us! serves salads, sandwiches, soups, martinis and other specialty drinks, not to mention baked goods created in their own bakery. Naturally, I had to try the brownie. The vegan brownie came highly acclaimed over the regular brownie by the girl behind the counter. Oh, were we ever disappointed! Lovely as it was to look at, its spongey texture was more akin to cake than brownie and the taste more suited to those who prefer their desserts on the low end of sweetness (and to those who like ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda).
Word on the street is that Just Us! serves the best espresso in town. I, unfortunately, cannot attest to this, for when it comes to coffee, I am most certainly a lightweight, and won't even bother to deny it. I will have to return to Just Us! with my seasoned-espresso-drinker friend to find out how great the coffee really is.
Teas, on the other hand, I can appreciate. The lemon honey tea was absolutely delicious…it had a wonderful scent to go with the soft, sweet flavour. The 'chai' was very good…not like some other teas where it's mostly all strong spice. They don't carry lactose-free milk, but they do carry Harmony Organic milks in whole, skim and half & half, with soy behind the counter. I was suprised to see that they serve dairy-free cappuccinos as well (made with soy milk). What's lacking in Just Us! for now is that personality that the aged, lived-in coffee houses have, but I think in a few years it'll be a great joint for those who really do care where their java comes from.

re: tp24
The Queens W location is closed,I went on its last day,unaware that it was closing.Was told by a barista that it was a management decision.This was like a month back.Too bad,loved the place with its free wifi and chai latte.....
re: warlock
The cafe has re-opened but I couldn't spot a clear sign (I always pass-by on the streetcar). Anyone know what the new place is called? Experiences?
re: artificialard
It reopened as Greenavi Cafe shortly after Just Us went under. The decor is exactly the same, very nice and open to the street most of the time. They had free wireless when they first opened but last time I went it wasn't working. Friendly service and decent lattes: not the best in town but I've had a heckuva lot worse.
re: Gary
Excellent! I'm always on the lookout for a place that serves decent grub and has wifi for working in.
Thanks Gary.

I eat this almost everyday and I can't get enough of it. Only thing I do is add a little shredded cheddar to my broccoli. I drink water only and I take vitamin C supplements. If this diet is sufficient enough, what's the least things I can add to it to make it more complete?

The 2013 Naismith Hall of Fame finalists have been announced, and the all too familiar local name of Pitino is among the ranks that could be officially inducted.
ESPN called them rivals. The rest of the world wonders what ESPN is talking about.
After 5 overtimes, the Louisville basketball Cardinals go down to defeat against Notre Dame, 104-101
Looks like the entire time is going to the treadmill after this one.
It didn't look that way at first, but the Cards cruise on the road.
These are the Cards we're used to and the other teams still don't want them.
Even short handed (minus Wayne Blackshear and Kevin Ware), the Cards gutted out a tough win at home.
The Cards need to solve the mysteries of the game and quickly so they can get back to their previous elite status.
Gorgui, named for Louisville center Gorgui Dieng, faces eight rivals in his first race
The Cards drop two in a row as they go into the teeth of their Big East schedule. Not good.
Being number one was nice while it lasted.
It was the biggest came of UConn's season but the Cards weren't having it.
Peyton Siva takes a page from teammate Russ Smith's book and plays his heart out. The NBA should take notice.

Recent Breckenridge reviews
"We loved many things about this condo - heated floors were fantastic, extra blankets so we each could snuggle up on the sofa after long day of skiing, walk to town every night for dinner, walk to lift so our teenagers did not need to wait for us to finish our coffee, easy ski home for lunch.....and did I mention the heated floors? We would love to return and would definitely rent this unit again."
"Gorgeous view, magic place! I didn't feel like coming back home! The place is nicely kept, someone came to even removed the snow from the balcony from us! Kitchen has everything you need and a bit more! The views to Breckenridge ski runs absolutely amazing! Bring snowshoes to walk around on the forest! Lot's of snow all around and nice warm sun! Kids loved sledding and building a snow fort! For us, perfect to be at the spa on the balcony! It was also so good to have the dog and he loved running around the property!"
"Thank you for sharing your home with us. We really enjoyed the property inside and out. It has great amenities inside including an outdoor hot tub, and dry sauna. We had amazing views of all the peaks and easy ski out to bottom of peak 9. Thank you again, we definitely want to go back and recommend this townhouse. H."

In the second installment of the clonal conundrum, one hallmark of clonality is one that surprisingly hasn't been validated that many times using species that have both sexually and asexually reproducing populations. Theoretically, clonal reproduction should generate massive …
Heterozygote excess
Mutations accumulate in clonal lineages as the two alleles at each locus irreversibly diverge within individuals (Balloux et al. 2003). This should generate largely negative Fis values. As clonality increases, Fis decreases:
Balloux et al. (2003) suggest that strict clonality can, thus, be easily detected in populations due to the excess of heterozygotes. But, the occurrence of sex, even infrequently, what they term cryptic sex, might also be detected. Fis values will be variable among loci:

Foam Board Planes
Hi, I have three sheets of 20X30 inch foamboard and 5 j250 motors. I was wondering If any of you have any good airplanes to make out of this. I have experience with light weight balsa planes but not much with any kind of foam. Any suggestions? Thanks.
I've built both the BluBaby 33" with UC wing and th Skyote using Elmer's foam board and the J-250. The BB is a basic trainer. The Skyote is more aerobatic and requires a little more experience.

Check out the SE-5a thread....
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=649178 |
I built a plane out of foam board a few weeks ago. I was bored, and didn't follow any plans. Had large wings with a fair amount of dihedral, and was powered by a Turnigy 2835 with a 6x4 prop. Flew nice and slow, but turned into origami once I tried to fly it in the wind. Good thing about foam board is it's cheap.
yeah on foam board the planes do turn into origami not break into pieces, if you leave the paper on of course. you can take off the paper with 91% alcohol and a garbage bag... just set your cut pieces in there and let soak for about an hour... paper comes right off and whallah! you now have depron ( or something extremely similar)
for wings leave the paper on and brace with carbon tubing. i built a few quite the few planes from board board and i want to post pictures but i cant figure out how...?!? a couple i have built is an underwing trainer with a 43" wingspan and a delta f-117 look alike with a 40" wingspan.. both flew amazing (yes, flew, thats why they are called trainers.. lol) find any plans on this forum or challenge yourself with a 3-view... or you can just from your imagination Cheers |
I like the tuffy but wanted to try something smaller with a little 10g motor. I used a 10g motor on my 30inch eagle/hawk bird and was amazed at how easily it pulled that bird up to altitude with no problem so I figure I might be able to use it on a pusher plane.
I sketched up some plans and tried to get the dimension ratios as close to the tuffy as I could. I cut the fuse out as one piece of foam, cutting through one side and compressing the foam along fold lines. I find this method keeps the hot glue content down as you only need a small bead in the seam to hold the bends nicely. All up weight so far with the fuse, 30inch wing, and motor is 80g. I think I can bring it in under or near 5oz with a 400-500 2S. The 4oz thrust of the motor using a 5x3 should be plenty, maybe even carry my pencam. The whole thing is built from a single piece of foamboard and some scrap balsa sticks for the firewall. I drew the plans right on the foamboard using the dimensions from sketchup. The boards I have are plumb so using the edges as references can get me a reasonably square fuse and wing without having to scale, tile, print and cut plans. |
Looks great. You have a good dihedral angle on you wing, how do you fix the wing to the fuselage so it is structurally strong? Is hot melt glue good enough?
Also, how do you get the wing profile to stay? Do you have a few balsa or foam ribs? Regards, Kim |
I forgot to mention the paper is left on the foam for this build. Adds weight but also adds strength. |

text: Honda to recall 204,500 vehicles over braking system problemApril 19, 2013 - 10:55 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Honda has announced plans to recall 204,500 of its CR-V, Odyssey and Acura RDX vehicles from 2012 and 2013 due to an issue with the braking system, SlashGear reports. When temperatures drop below freezing, a problem with one component could allow the driver to shift without pressing the brake first, something that hasn't caused any issues, instead being discovered in an internal investigation. The numbers break down to 59,000 2012 and 2013 Honda Odyssey minivans, 128,000 2012 and 2013 Honda CR-V SUVs, and 17,500 2013 Acura RDX vehicles. Those with an affected vehicle will have a component in the brake shift interlock system replaced with one that isn't prone to failure in sub-freezing temperatures. According to Honda, no customers have complained or experienced any injuries from the problem. Snail-mail notifications will go out to those with one of the affected vehicles some time in the middle of May. This follows a recent recall over faulty airbags by the manufacturer, with the airbags coming from Takata Corporation. The airbags were made from 2000 to 2002, and concerned a problem with the inflators that could cause abnormal inflation when deployed. Toyota and Nissan were also forced to issue recalls over the same airbag problems.

JMCAD - modeling of dynamic systems JMCAD is an program for the modeling and simulation of complex dynamic systems. This includes the ability to construct and simulate block diagrams. The visual block diagram interface offers a simple method for constructing, modifying and maintaining complex system models. The simulation engine provides fast and accurate solutions for linear, nonlinear, continuous time, discrete time, time varying and hybrid system designs. With JMCAD, users can quickly develop software or "virtual" prototypes of systems or processes to demonstrate their behavior prior to building physical prototypes. The user builds his system model by selecting predefined blocks from a block library and simply wiring the blocks together. Each block of the diagram performs a function. Users can also create custom blocks in Java and add them to the JMCAD block library. JMCAD is a block diagram language for creating complex nonlinear dynamic systems.

This review is from: ViewSonic VX2370Smh-LED Black 23" 7ms (GTG) IPS-Panel HDMI Widescreen LED Monitor frameless design Built-in Speakers
Pros: -Sharp picture
-Good colors
-Thin Bezel
-Price ($120 when I purchased)
-No dead, bright, or dark pixels
-Excellent viewing angles
-Built in speakers (not great but better than I expected)
Cons: -No height adjustment (though it does tilt)
-As others have mentioned the button placement isn't ideal, though the buttons light up when the monitor is on so they are not hard to find and just take a bit of getting used to.
-Blindingly bright out of the box (forced me to figure out the button situation right away though.)
Other Thoughts: Very pleased with the monitor and would definitely recommend it. Fortunately, I got it for a low price but would be more than happy even at current price.

PLNU learned of an isolated incident in early February in which one of our students was victim of an alleged assault off-campus that involved an off-duty police officer and one other individual. We are committed to act with compassion toward the student who was involved and to respect her right to privacy and to allow for due process of anyone accused. With this in mind, PLNU has issued the following memo to students, faculty, staff, parents, and the board of trustees. We have also provided the following press release for local media.
Press Release - February, 9 2011 (PDF Download)
Internal memorandum to students, faculty, staff, and parents - February, 9, 2011 (PDF Download)
PLNU School of Education students are eligible to apply for the 2011 Education Associates Scholarships. The application deadline is February 25, 2011. Follow this link to the web application. For further information contact Dr. Laura Amstead (email@example.com) Applicants submitted completed applications by the deadline will be invited to in person interviews at the PLNU Regional Centers in Arcadia, Bakersfield and Mission Valley.
Event Date - February 4-6, 2011
On behalf of the Pt Loma Speech and Debate team, I wanted to send out a belated thanks to the entire PLNU campus community for your help and patience in hosting the Sunset Cliffs Classic and Round Robin Tournament of Champions recently. These two tournaments were held on our campus Feb 4-6. The 44 Colleges and Universities listed below came out and seemed to have a wonderful time enjoying our beautiful campus. We greatly appreciate the assistance of so many of the staff, faculty and alumni that make this possible. As you can imagine many envied us the ability to come here every day, and several of those folks are looking into applying here for future years. Students that it. I don't think any of the other coaches are putting in for my job yet. J
Two of our Pt Loma teams advanced at this competitive event, which has been nicknamed the blood bath at the beach due to the high caliber of competition. Congratulations to Ian Sharples and Ashley Nuckels for reaching the first elimination round and to Daniel Nadal and James Wilson for advancing to the second elimination round. Our other four senior teams entered had enough earned wins to advance to elimination rounds, but they missed advancing on the speaker point tie breaker. This speaks well of our chances at the National Championships coming up soon.
And in the burying the lead category we just recently learned that PLNU is once again ranked in the top 10 colleges and universities in the nation competing for the year long sweepstakes race. We are currently ranked in the #7 spot, against all competitors, like UCLA, Ca Berkeley, etc. . . regardless of school size or division.
Thanks again for your continued support and encouragement.
(San Diego, Calif. – February 1, 2011) – In March, students from Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) will officially begin spring break. Instead of heading for the beach, some students will be building sustainable buildings in Rosarito, Mexico.
Students, staff, faculty, university president Dr. Bob Brower, and a few members of PLNU's cabinet will join Lazarian World Homes to construct a new sanctuary and parsonage at Rosario Nazarene Church out of Lazarian Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) polystyrene foam blocks. The polystyrene foam blocks, which can be filled with concrete after they are placed, provide effective, low-cost, eco-friendly structures.
Lazarian World Homes was born out of a partnership involving PLNU, Baylor University, and Armenian Relief and Development Agency. Lazarian World Homes builds environmentally conscious, affordable, and long-lasting shelters all over the world.

(San Diego, Calif. – Jan. 28, 2011) – On Saturday, Jan. 29, over 100 PLNU students, faculty and staff will be venturing out into the San Diego community for the second annual Cause & Effect Service Day.
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. PLNU will be serving six local Nazarene churches based on their specific needs – El Cajon Nazarene Church, Mission Valley Nazarene Church, Southeast Nazarene Church, San Diego Primera Iglesia del Nazareno, Carlsbad Las Flores Nazarene Church and Mid-City Nazarene Church. It will be a day of light construction, renovation and cleaning projects.
The service day is part of "the outward focus of the spring semester," said Cristina Pacheco, international ministries assistant in the Office of Spiritual Development, speaking of the theme of the spring semester's spiritual renewal week.

I really love this faucet. It is perfect for the small second bathroom. It is comfortable to use. My husband did have to buy some small accessories to adjust to our sink, but we're really happy with it.
Item arrived as described. No missing parts. Fully assembled with tight motion of the handles. Installed easily and works well. Missed the red and blue dots on the handles when I looked at the picture. I would have preferred they were not there but not enough of a reason to return the faucet.
Very easy to follow instructions and it looks great! Great price too!
We looked high and low for a "modern" faucet before we found this one on Overstock.com. The quality and appearance are excellent. The faucet adds just the right touch to our remodeled bathroom.

Been dere done dat too. Happy Mardi Gras Day to yas. |
By: NEwxguy , 2:30 PM GMT on February 21, 2012
So that was nice a four day weekend,played a little ,worked around the house a little,ate a little(alot),drank a little,relaxed a little,well,you get the point,it was a nice weekend,nice weather.
So felt like rambling.
1.Our non-winter continues,with 6 degrees above normal at this point of the winter.February looks to go snowless with only a trace of snow.This has only happened twice in record keeping.we are currently tied with 1937 and 1925 for least snowy Februarys with just a trace of snow seen at Logan
2.Our sports teams are a mess.The celtics are mediocre at best and Rondo,is acting like a complete idiot,throwing basketballs at referees.
Our Hockey team that couldn't be beaten in November and December,now cant score a goal.
Our Baseball team,well,we know what happened at the end of last season.Don't know if I can climb on their band wagon,still smarting from that fiasco last season.Another Boston Univ. hockey player arrested for sexual assault.The second in 2 months.Anybody else disturbed by the actions of our college sports athelets across the country.
3. Mardi Gras came to noisy and drunk conclusion last night.
4.Another warm week ahead,after a chilly morning,its temps going up this week,may even hit 60 at some point,the series of weeks hitting at least 50 once or more a week continues.
5.Trying to get myself psyched up for home improvement projects this starting sometime next month,most of us on here no what that entails.I will be redoing my family room and kitchen.Going to try to do some of the work myself on the walls and put in a new drop ceiling.

Been dere done dat too. Happy Mardi Gras Day to yas. |
Oops,you got me Pat,I'm jumping the gun,see what happens when I take a long weekend,I don't know what day it is.Yes,Fat Tuesday today,and lent begins tomorrow.Okay,I think I got it straight now. |
Mardi Gras came to a conclusion? On a Monday? LOL Its "Fat Tuesday" today. Lordy,.. If ever I cease to Love Professor Longhair |
So as February winds down,it has been a remarkable winter.Everyone you talked to is loving this.At the end of last winter people had had it.You talked to a lot of people who were thinking of moving south,if we had another winter like the last two winters.Well,Mother Nature must have been listening and felt sorry for us,because we have had a winter the total opposite to winter last year. Last year we were running around 2 to 3 degrees below normal,this year we are running as much as 7 degrees above normal.Almost every week has had at least one day at 50 degrees. So what does this mean in our everyday life,there are pros and cons. Pros 1.Lower heating bills 2.Less wear and tear on cars. 3.Less injurys due to skidding accidents and falls on ice. 4.no ice dams this year. 5.Frost levels in the ground are much less,so the pothole season shouldn't be as bad. Cons Believe or not there is a downside to this winter. 1.With such a lack of snow,unless we get a wet spring,we could be in serious trouble water wise. 2. The contractors who depend on snow removal money are not getting any 3.Winter resorts are suffering,ski resorts can make money,but snowmobile trails and crosscountry sites are closed. 4.Warmer winter means the ocean has not gotten as cold as some years,which may be a problem in the tropical season. 5.I suspect that the tick season will be very bad this year,and certainly earlier to start. So in all I think most people are glad for this mild dry winter. |

What lovely imagery. I could feel the heat, the scent of magnolias and the green water. A captivating story. I hope there will be more novels to follow.
Very good book, will donate to library when my family members finish reading it. I like everything Frances Mayes has written.
I am quite an admirer of Frances Mayes and have read all of her books. Her descriptive powers, observations of character and impish sense of humor have long attracted me. Read more
As I started reading the book it was slow going until about one third into it. The descriptions of the various characters in Swan was charming and interesting. Read more
Would better have been finished. All that time and no solution!!!
I am enjoying the story very much! All her books are a great read
Frances has a ability to put you in the story and make you really care about her character whether they are real or fictional.
Mayes is a wonderful writer, well developed, enjoyable to read
Swan is a faintly disguised version of a real town and real events about real people mixed with the author's imagination and held together by the author's ability to grab and hold... Read more
Mayes' story is intriguing enough to keep the reader turning the page, but her character development and strong sense of place are the strengths of this novel.

Read Owen Pallett's Essay on Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" and Music Theory
"Her voice is the sun and the song is in orbit around it"
By Jenn Pelly on March 25, 2014 at 3:41 p.m. EDT
Photo by Elisabeth Vitale
On March 18, The Daily Beast ran an article by Ted Gioia bemoaning the lack of music theory and technical knowledge that appears in music criticism these days. Of the many responses (including Mike Powell's on the Pitch) is this new one, by Owen Pallett, published today on Slate.
In response to Gioia, Pallett "explains the genius of Katy Perry's 'Teenage Dream' using music theory"—analyzing the chords, keys, time signatures, suspension, syncopation, and melody lines, in order to unpack its "enormous chart success". "My bet is that it'll be boring," he writes at the outset, "but I'm going to do my best not to bore you!"
Pallett approaches his topic in several ways. "Her voice is the sun and the song is in orbit around it," he writes at one point. Pallett's introduction reads:
I have picked Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream." Because: this song's success seems to mystify all the Katy Perry haters in the world. Why did it go to No. 1? Let's start by talking about the ingenuity of the harmonic content. This song is all about suspension—not in the voice-leading 4–3 sense, but in the emotional sense, which listeners often associate with "exhilaration," being on the road, being on a roller coaster, travel. This sense of suspension is created simply, by denying the listener any I chords. There is not a single I chord in the song. Laymen, the I chord ("one chord") is the chord that the key is in. That is, the song is in G but there are no G-chords. Other examples of this, in hit singles: Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" and Stardust's "Music Sounds Better With You"; almost-examples include Earth Wind and Fire's "In September" which has an I chord but only passing and in inversion; same with Coldplay's "Viva La Vida."
For comparison's sake, Pallett describes the off-beat notes of Black Sabbath's "Paranoid". He also mentions the way Dev Hynes of Blood Oranges weighs syllables, with no syncopation, to produce songs that "sound like hymns."
"This analysis was an easy one, because the song is straight fours and its ingenuities are easy to describe," Pallett concludes. "If I were going to talk about "Get Lucky" I'd probably have to start posting score. That is a complicated song."
