My shirt measures about two inches from the bottom of the collar. That's about in line with other shirts I own. Glad you like it! :D
How "temporary" will the AA tees be? Will they be available on another t shirt brand in the near future? I'm planning on buying several for our science department Thanks!

Our unemployed college graduates would be in better shape if they'd chosen science or engineering instead of philosophy and women's studies. Speaking of the write-up, there actually are plenty of economists that try to back up their arguments with evidence. There's a reason economics is called the dismal science though, it's highly interpretive and there's no way to test a hypothesis in isolation. You tend to get a lot of confirmation bias based on a person's political leaning rather than scientific method. You can say the same thing whereever politics has hijacked science, like climate change for instance. But frankly, the worst thing overall is that people don't understand science. All you need is a report on the nightly news that "a scientist" put out a press release announcing the results of some study, and the mass public believes this information to be the gospel truth, even years later when other studies have found the opposite result but without fanfare. There is an incorrect but widespread belief that "science" is always infallible. Everything else is still dumb compared to science, but it's not infallible.
Science is infallible. It's people who are not.

excellent..... I love QT.
Phoronix: Qt Is Exploring A Google V8 JavaScript Engine
While the Nokia-Microsoft Windows Phone 7 deal may have dampened the outlook for Qt by Nokia corporate, their engineers continue working constantly on improving this free software tool-kit. One of the latest interesting projects is exploring whether Qt's JavaScript platform could be powered by Google's V8 Engine...
excellent..... I love QT.
It would be kinda cool to take the Gnome 2.x UI and implement it with Qt/KDE tech. It would be so must faster to run and develop... Oh wel...
Any idea why why had to go underground with this?
The choice of words is probably a bit too dramatic.
It's normal in big corporations that developers can't just release stuff. They need to get the OK from either the legal department or the team head.
While V8 works with WebKit, it's technically a separate project and incorporating a new FOSS project into Qt means likely that someone within Nokia had to give his/her OK first.
Actually it was because they have a bunch of new tech already coming out and the js engine they have now already works. Qt developers are allowed to work on what ever they wan't in there free time Qt4 is lgpl and opensource you know.

Tweezerman Folding Eyelash Comb
KdparisParis, FranceGreat, Handy Little Devicei love this. the metal tines make a real difference in ease of combing lashes and i can carry it with me.posted Dec 2, 2006Link to this post
AnnonymousMaineWorks GreatThis is must for anyone whos frustrated with clumpy mascara. I no longer have to wash off my mascara and start over if too much has accidentally been applied. This product easily thins out clumply spots, especially those that form on the end of lashes. It is very inexpensive and a worth while addition to any make-up kit. Requires a steady hand and concentration while combing because the teeth are on the sharp side.posted Nov 29, 2006Link to this post
Jennifer T.New JerseyLove It!!Im on my second tweezerman eyelash comb. Its especially great for when the mascara is goes on too "gloppy." All I have to do is run the comb through them, and my eyelashes are perfect!posted Nov 22, 2006Link to this post
Amy DorryMilford, NJTweezerman CombThis is great for separately the lashes. I woul highly recommend to anyone who loves the look of long lush lashes without the clump!posted Nov 13, 2006Link to this post

MarthaNYCMetal Teeth Are The Only Kind To GetIn my experience, metal teeth are best b/c the plastic ones break off really easily. These will last much longer and for the price, you can afford to keep one in every makeup bag you have (home, office, travel). Also the fact that it folds is key. Its sharp and you dont want it poking into things in your bag -- or your hand. Folding also helps keep it clean of lint.posted Sep 21, 2006Link to this post
Louise ElliottMedford, ORThe Absolute BestAnd to think I used to use the end of a needle to separate my lashes before! This is a must for anyones make-up bag. Whoever thought of this is a genius! A bit difficult to clean, but patience does it! WELL worth the money and love the way it folds up... protecting the teeth from getting bent or pulled out!

Joke of the day
Every man needs a go-to joke.
Worst Comments To Get On Your Finals 10. See me after class. 9. Did you even read the material? 8. It's a C, but it's a strong C. 7. Fascinatingly convoluted. 6. My, what nice, big margins! 5. You must've been up all last night. 4. The book ends differently than the movie. 3. Spelling requires more than just sounding it out. 2. Are you familiar with the term, "plagiarism"? 1. Tell your mom to try harder.
Wishful Thinking A young couple is golfing on a very exclusive course lined with million-dollar houses. On the third tee, the wife slices her shot right through the large front window of the biggest house along the course. They walk up, knock on the door, and hear a voice say, "Come on in." Opening the door, they see glass everywhere and a broken bottle lying on the floor. A man on the couch says, "Are you the people who broke my window?" The husband begins to apologize, but the man cuts him off. "Actually, I want to thank you. I'm a genie who was trapped in that bottle, and your wayward shot released me. I'm allowed to grant three wishes, so what I'd like to do is give each of you one wish and I'll keep the last one for myself." "Fantastic!" says the husband. "I want a million dollars a year for the rest of my life." "No problem," says the genie, "it's the least I could do. And you, ma'am, what do you want?" "I want a house in every country in the world," says the wife. "Consider it done," the genie replies, turning back to the man. "And now for my wish. Because I've been trapped in that bottle, I haven't had sex in a really long time. My wish is to sleep with your wife." The husband takes a long look at his wife and says, "Well, we did get a lot of money and all those houses. If you don't mind, honey, I don't either." The wife agrees, and the genie takes her upstairs, where he ravishes her for three hours. Once he's through, the genie rolls over, looks at the wife, and asks, "How old is your husband, anyway?" "Thirty-five," she replies. "And he still believes in genies?"
Big Grill A retired couple was in their backyard one day, the man on the porch drinking beer and the woman bent over in her garden tending to her plants. The man looks at her and says, "Damn woman, I think your ass is bigger than the grill." She ignores him and keeps gardening. He keeps looking and says, "I'm serious, I think your ass is bigger than the grill." She keeps ignoring him. When he finishes his beer he goes into the house and gets his tape measure. He measures the grill, then his wife's ass. "Well I'll be, your ass is bigger than the grill," he says. That night they're lying in bed and as he tries to get close for some loving, she rolls over and gives him the cold shoulder. "What the hell is your problem?", he asks. To which she replies, "Do you think I'm going to fire up this big ass grill for that little weenie?"
The Brewery Two friends, Sullivan and O'Doule, worked together at the Guinness brewery in Dublin. They hadn't been working there very long when one day, with no warning, O'Doule fell into one of the vats. To make a long story short, Sullivan's lifelong pal drowned. Sullivan, being O'Doule's best friend, felt obligated to go to O'Doule's widow and break the bad news to her. He walked to the house and knocked on the door. When the widow O'Doule answered, he bowed his head respectfully and told her what had happened. "I'm sorry to be the one to tell ye," he said, "but I'm afraid Seamus has fallen into one of the vats at work and drowned. He's off to meet his maker." "Alas," cried the widow. "The poor man couldn't swim a stroke." "The hell he couldn't," replied Sullivan, "He got out three times to pee!"
The Farmers' Kids Once there were two farmers. One had a daughter and the other had a son. When their kids were teenagers they started dating, and the two farmers encouraged it. One day the girl's father went over to the other farmer's house and said that he didn't want their children dating anymore. The boy's father asked, "Why not?" The other farmer said, "Come here and I'll show you." In his yard was the girl's name written in pee in the snow. The boy's father said, "Oh, come on, that's just boy stuff." The other farmer said, "You think I don't know my own daughter's handwriting?"
The Biggest Lie A clergyman was walking down the street when he came upon a group of 10-year-old boys surrounding a dog. Concerned that the boys were hurting the animal, he went over and asked them what they were doing. One of the boys replied, "This dog is an old neighborhood stray. We take him home with us sometimes, but only one of us can take him home. So we're having a contest: whichever one of us tells the biggest lie can take him home today." Of course, the Reverend was shocked. "You boys shouldn't be having a contest focused on telling lies!" he exclaimed. He then launched into a 10-minute sermon against lying, beginning with, "Don't you boys know it's a sin to lie?" and ending with, "Why, when I was your age, I never told a lie." There was complete silence for about a minute. As the Reverend smiled with satisfaction that he'd gotten through to them, the smallest boy gave a deep sigh. "All right," he said, "give him the dog."
The Train Ride At midnight, a middle-aged man was waiting at a train station to cross the country to see his relative back east. As he stepped up into the train car, he noticed that the car was almost empty except for a young beautiful nun who sat by herself reading a Bible. The man sat next to her, hoping to get some companionship during the long ride. However, the nun paid no attention to him. She just kept on reading the Bible without even looking up to him or saying a word. Half an hour went by slowly and silently, which made the man more and more anxious to start a conversation. But he did not know how to start. The man then put his hand on the nun's lap. The nun blushed with a little bit of anger. She turned around and said, "Dear sir, do you believe in God?" The man replied, "Yes, I do." Nun: "Have you read the bible? Do you know it is wrong to put your hand on my lap? Perhaps you should go home and read line 23 on page 157." The man withdrew his hand and sat quietly until the train reached the East Coast. The next day, he opened up the Bible and was shocked to read line 23: "Heaven is a little bit higher."

Time to integrate traditional and formal justice | Olav Kjørven
26 Sep 2012
In some developing countries, informal or traditional justice systems resolve up to 80 percent of disputes, over everything from cattle to contracts, dowries to divorce.
Disproportionately, these mechanisms affect women and children.
A new report, commissioned by UNDP, UNICEF, and UN Women and produced by the Danish Institute for Human Rights, provides the most comprehensive UN study on this complex area of justice to date. It draws conclusions based on research in Bangladesh, Ecuador, Malawi, Niger, Papua New Guinea, Uganda, and 12 other developing countries.
These systems, it concludes, are a reality of justice in most of the countries where UNDP works to improve lives and livelihoods and government capacities to serve. The evidence illustrates the direct bearing such systems can have on women and children's legal empowerment, covering issues from customary marriage and divorce to custody, inheritance, and property rights.
It's time to engage squarely with customary justice systems and integrate them into broader development initiatives aimed at guaranteeing human rights and access to justice for all.
These systems are often far more accessible than formal mechanisms and may have the potential to provide quick, inexpensive, and culturally relevant remedies. But traditional development models have for years paid them little attention. To be effective, both systems must work together for development.
Both justice systems—the formal, government-supported model of laws, police, courts, and prisons—and informal or traditional systems can violate human rights, reinforce discrimination, and neglect procedural fairness. But both can also adapt and engage so that human rights are respected and access to justice is universal.
In Somalia, UNDP's engagement with customary authorities followed failed attempts to support mainstream rule of law institutions in Somaliland, which favoured a state-centred approach amid armed conflict, even as government institutions were failing.
After a survey found up to 80 percent of the population preferred arbitration by clan leaders, a new strategy used women's access to justice as an entry point for engagement—bringing in women's organizations with more legitimacy and capacity than any formal institutions.
In Bangladesh and Malawi, NGOs gained access to traditional informal justice systems by providing support and obtaining the trust of the leaders and communities.
Training adjudicators, increasing the number of women in decisions-making posts, empowering paralegals and women's groups to monitor and engage with customary leaders—all these efforts will continually improve individual and communal experiences of justice.
Talk to us: How can formal and informal justice sectors work together?

OK I know there's a lot of guys here in my area. LA. And I never seem to be able to get together with you guys or you me. In addition the lakes around here are risky to say the least. But I did find a pool we can use that's 80 feet long by 40 feet wide. Big enough to run even the 1/32 U-boats like I have.
I'm getting more details today about it's exact location but it's up Canyon Country I believe. My friend Gene is a home owner there and it's the home owners pool and gets little use most of the time with the exception of summer.
Anyone interested?

Contenders Cardinals, Braves open series in St. Louis
Cards send Kelly to the hill; Maholm returns from DL for Atlanta
The Cardinals aren't in the postseason yet, but their upcoming schedule looks a lot like what they could face if they wind up reaching that goal.
St. Louis will open a four-game series against the Braves on Thursday night at Busch Stadium, kicking off a stretch of 17 consecutive games against National League playoff contenders. After taking on Atlanta -- keepers of the best record in the Majors -- the Redbirds will play four straight series against either the Pirates or Reds, whom they're battling atop the National League Central.
It's a piece of the schedule that could go a long way toward shaping the division and Wild Card races.
"Yeah, I'd imagine," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "But that's not anything we focus too much on. We've been very consistent of looking out at what field we're on today, and this is the one that matters. Take care of today."
St. Louis, which is one game behind Pittsburgh and 1 1/2 ahead of Cincinnati in the NL Central, beat Milwaukee to finish its road trip 4-2.
Atlanta pulled out a dramatic 10-inning win over the Mets on Wednesday in New York to improve to 6-4 since its 14-game winning streak ended. The victory was costly, however, as right fielder Jason Heyward suffered a fractured right jaw after being hit by a pitch from the Mets' Jon Niese. He likely will miss four to six weeks.
The good news for the Braves is that they get left-hander Paul Maholm back from the disabled list on Thursday. Maholm (9-9, 4.41 ERA) will take on the Cardinals' Joe Kelly after missing a little more than a month with a bruised left wrist.
Maholm was hit hard in his last three starts before the DL stint, giving up 15 earned runs on 23 hits over 13 1/3 innings. He made one Minor League rehab start, with Class A Rome on Saturday, and came away feeling good about his command. He gave up one run on four hits over 5 2/3 innings, with no walks and six strikeouts.
"It's been a month. Like I said early on, I'm not a very good DL patient," Maholm said. "I'm just looking forward to just getting back in there and competing, and obviously we've been playing well. So obviously it's been fun to watch, but it's going to be better to be a part of it."
Kelly has proven to be a stabilizing force since joining the Cardinals' rotation in early July. He has gone 4-0 with a 2.23 ERA, and St. Louis has won six of his seven outings. The 25-year-old owns a 3.21 ERA in 24 career starts, compared with a 3.61 mark in 29 relief appearances.
Kelly's recent run included 6 1/3 scoreless innings on July 27 at Atlanta, and six scoreless frames on Saturday at Wrigley Field. He held the Cubs to four hits and three walks while striking out six.
"We didn't know necessarily what we were going to do, and he's stepped up and taken advantage of it and been one of those guys who, you can tell, he can't wait to get the ball," Matheny said. "When he goes out there with that kind of confidence, it just transfers over to everybody else. And he's getting better."
Braves: Scary moment for Heyward
Since he was moved to the leadoff spot on July 27, Heyward had hit .353/.421/.600 over a 22-game span going into Wednesday. Now, the Braves figure to be without his services until at least mid-September.
Heyward was facing Niese in the sixth inning of Wednesday's game at Citi Field when the left-hander's pitch veered inside and caught Heyward on the side of the head, perhaps getting at least some of the ear flap of his batting helmet.
Heyward immediately went down, and head trainer Jeff Porter rushed out to treat him, accompanied by manager Fredi Gonzalez. He eventually walked off with a little help from Porter but was spitting out blood. Heyward was taken to the hospital to undergo X-rays and further tests, which revealed two fractures in his right jaw.
• Left fielder Justin Upton missed his second straight game with a left upper back strain, an injury he suffered while taking swings in the batting cage before Tuesday's contest.
Cardinals: More Molina
Catcher Yadier Molina was in the lineup again on Wednesday against the Brewers, his fifth straight start and sixth in seven games since he came off the DL on Aug. 15. He went 0-for-4 after going 10-for-23 with two home runs in his first five games back.
When Molina first returned, general manager John Mozeliak said the team needed to be cautious with the All-Star backstop's playing time. But Matheny has continued to put Molina's name on his lineup card, thanks to positive input from the team's medical staff and Molina himself.
"Every game is important," Molina said. "Starting from today, every game is important, so we take every game seriously and try to win every game."
Worth noting
• The Braves swept a three-game series from the Cardinals in Atlanta in late July, holding them to three total runs. They also swept three during their series at Busch Stadium last year.
• The quintet of Carlos Beltran, Allen Craig, David Freese, Matt Holliday and Molina has combined for eight home runs in 117 at-bats against Maholm.

Very nice. The horizontal bar graphs were always one of the most awkward parts of the initial PTS implementations.
I didn't worry about the graphs because getting the foundation in place was the biggest and most important task and graphs could always be changed later, but it's great to see the whole suite maturing to the point where you can start to put time on polishing the output.
The new graphs are a great improvement and allow more information to be usefully presented. I'm sure the next request will be to somehow show the standard error information graphically (some kind of stacked bar graph I guess) but IMO getting this level of improvement out is more important.
Thanks for all the great work you have been doing on PTS.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Casino These sandals are like butter
I like expensive well made, leather sandals. I saw these online, but I am a brick & mortar guy. I don't buy things online. I went to Dick's and purchased my first pair of Teva sandals. I bought a black pair of Tanza's. After a slight adjustment to the heal strap, they fit perfect. I had decided to take a chance and order the leather ones. As soon as I put them on, I knew I made the right choice. They are so soft on your feet, honestly, like butter. And a huge bonus is although they are leather, they are waterproof.
I highly recommend these sandals.

"Financial markets had been betting on a recovery." Since American markets reacted with a yawn, Europe either matters no longer, or the bad news had already been priced in.
The European downturn. Valentine's Day Massacre. The Hangover:
We felt the pain
Changed our name
Called people of fame
Who all did the same
And in the end it remained the same
The lands that paid will now be slyn
Data represent not represents.
Sensationalist headlining of "massacre" is contemporary media spin of backwards looking accounting - but there's an element of truth in the meaning of the word: large scale slaughter of humans indiscriminately and cruelly.
What TE fails to show, is the size of the derivates and currency markets compared to historic GDP - in other words, the disconnect between the real economy and money which grew markedly after WWII, in the wake of Bretton Woods Conference agreements which became operative in December 1958. Real returns are deflationary (negative) is many EU economies as a result of austerity and near-zero central bank interest rates, so it should surprise no one that the time lag in measurement shows negative GSP.
The disconnect between "money" and "produced goods" goes much further back than even the 50's; amongst the oldest derivatives is rice futures, which have been traded on the Dojima Rice Exchange since the 18th century.
Unable to understand the math and complexity of largely unregulated financial markets, ordinary folk retreat to a 'laager' mentality, mistakenly arguing for a return to the gold standard (as if that would change anything) instead of insisting that QE be redirected from profiting bankers, to investment in the real economy in order to increase productive output (GDP) and raise it closer to the nominal calue of financial economies.
Dangerous calls for 'austerity' lead to political pressure by the Republicans and others for further economic slaughter of the innocents - ironically, most of your readers who call for it!
Lay man investors (including pension fund members) fail to appreciate that the simple mathematical concept of compound interest in itself is a money creation tool - failure to grasp that would reduce the US and European economies to the rubble of Islamic countries destroyed by Shariah law's anachronistic prohibition against interest.
QE is simply controlled money creation as opposed to unregulated creation by bankers leveraging derivative instruments for their own ends - it is key to escaping further "massacre", but only if accompanied by regulating, capping and controlling financial market on one hand and redirecting QE bonds bought by central bankers, to pay off deficits and national debt on the other.
We need to understand that the Fed and other central bankers do not "owe" anything for the bonds they bought with money they printed - instinctively, we realise there are no free lunches, and that ultimately taxpayers will bear the cost.
We should be pressuring our politicians to force central bankers to "gift" their bloated balance sheets in offset deals to government treasury, to square off the budget deficits which they exacerbate so that we do not end up paying twice for bankers to get off the hook of the financial crists they precipitated in 2007/8.
Core EU, US and Japanese industries are already rebounding with the aid of QE - but the results will be far better, at less cost to the man in the street, if we clip the wings of bankers to gamble with our money, and force their central banking colleagues to give back the bonds they bought to treasury to pay off the indirect 'value gap' debt created.
Goodbye Sovereignty, goodbye self-determination, good bye financial security, goodbye cultural homogeneity; hello Lowest Common Denominator!
Divergence returned to the Euro region because it never left.
For Germany to report an economic downturn even as it achieves record trade surplus means that German domestic demand is not doing its job as the "locomotive of Europe".
What are the limits of this divergence?
Let's hope we never find out.
One other reason might be the fact that German investment is redirected to other countries with more growth opportunities. After all from what I have read during the past year German government spending has increased, wages have increased and unemployment has decreased. This leaves only investment as the variable which might have decreased in Germany (which is taken into account when computing GDP). The problem is: Is most of this German investment directed to other European countries or to Brazil, US, China and India? If someone finds statistics about German investments by country (or region) it would be helpful.
The €-era is soon over! We all know this, we all have known it for quite a while. The banks were saved by borrowing money from ECB, and lending the money to indebted states. Tranquility was bought by the taxpayers money. However, as the real economy implodes the nation states go bust as well, and with them ECB. End of story.
the party is up, the euro will break up sooner or later, and new global currencies will rise like the yuan and rupee
This world is getting mad.
Federal Reserve Bank is printing 85 billion dollar every month, Fed has 3 trillion dollar debt on the book already....
40 cents of every dollar Obama spends is borrowed, Obama created more debt than all the previous presidents combined. Another 500,000 dollar in debt every second?
Now, Euro zone is talking about printing more money? more debts?
Japan is getting nuts, trillions after trillions printed money flooding the world.
We all live in a fantacy land using printed paper money without any backing?
Is this the so called 'currency war'? War of printing money? who has more paper? Who can print more money?
What a sad joke!
Its safe to say that Oktoberfest has taken toll much earlier on the Eurozone!
These are minor and almost negligible issues that could easily be solved with a little more optimism and confidence, right?
More hype and lies have been most useful in such cases, and they are still welcome, as usual.
There's nothing that more BS can't fix, even if it's a currency that warps the playing field against some teams nicknamed the 'periphery'.
As for France, the solution is easy: Since socialism in its etatist French version doesn't work as well as expected, the Republic should simply own everything. Welcome to the People's Republic of France.
Even they would realize they're through if they have to go that far,
This is absolutely pathetic. What the Eurozone needs is flexible exchange rates; that or a central government taxing authority. On top of this, most of these countries are stuck in both a banking crisis and a sovereign debt crisis. To solve their debt issues, they've imposed austerity and higher taxes on their citizens to pay for the bad debt in the banking system. How this makes sense? I have no idea.
Here's something radical:
1. Get different currencies
2. Liquidate/restructure bad debt
3. Stop imposing austerity
4. Start over
The history of Europe is that megalomaniac rulers ruined the life of their people. That sums up the last 2000, 3000 years.
Please, don't try to reason.
It's the history of humanity.
Your solution would work but then who is going to take europe seriously anymore? What country would want to do business with these countries in europe anymore? mabye malwi or equitorial guinea? the fact is your solution would make these countries credit ratings worse than a junk bond. And your solution would actually help the far east of china, and india. As the the US, Russia and South America would take their business their and their business interests. You would not only make europe on par with africa but your solution would also serve as a quicker catalyast to the inevitable far east domination of global business.
Who takes Europe seriously now? Last time I checked, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Ireland, and Greece are all stuck in a sovereign debt crisis with massive unemployment. France is next in line, while the entire Eurozone is having negative growth. You've got a massive financial sector that doesn't produce anything that's being propped up by regular, hard-working people who can't even find enough jobs and can barely put food on their table. If you let this go on long enough, war will be the endgame and no one benefits from that. There is no other solution, period.
"A central government taxing authority"?
Shouldn't you be preparing for your school exams, young fellow, instead of trolling the grown ups' forums?
That would be a great idea if I had any school exams to prepare for. I've only got 4 hours of class to finish my degree this semester, to which my professor's canceled the past 4 weeks of my only class due to illness. When I'm not working, I have nothing better to do than to "troll the grown ups' forums".
Onto something far more relevant to the topic at hand, isn't the fact that Europe doesn't have a centralized taxing authority the problem. You don't have any labor mobility or any way for transfer payments between the countries and exchange rates can't adjust, so the only way to adjust trade imbalances is through nominal wage deflation. You also have these same countries that are highly indebted where debt/income ratios are unreasonably high and weighing on growth. How can debt/income ratios adjust if there's no growth and nominal wage deflation? The only way to do so is to restructure debts across the board.
So, could you please explain how different currencies among states would help a country like the United States?
While it is true that independent currencies solve some problems by simply eliminating the weaklings from the market, they do add handicap to market fluidity. Please note that the hyperinflating poorly managed economies not only don't drag the prosperous ones down, but they also cannot be viewed as a potential market. They simply vanish from the economic equation of the region.
As the example of the US of A has shown, a common currency among many states of disparate wealth can work well for the whole. There is no reason to discount the Euro simply, because the zone contains poorly managed states.
There is ample evidence, however that the Euro Zone is poorly managed. The answer to poor management isn't necessarily a step back to a more chaotic setup.
To draw an extreme comparison: While Anarchy can be a stable state without the burden of evil taxation, it does not allow for the kind of prosperity that has become standard in more organized societies. I believe it is the same with currencies.
You're missing the point I'm trying to make. The reason that the United States doesn't need different currencies is because there is plenty of labor mobility, one common culture, things like that. I've lived in 5 different states in the US; I only really know one language and I've been able to get by just fine. In the US, richer states like New York transfer resources to poorer states like Alabama without anyone really getting pissed off. It's also easy for someone in New York to move to California and start working there; and no one in California complains that New Yorkers are taking their jobs.
In Europe, that would mean that Germans would have to pay taxes that go to Greeks. It would mean that someone who doesn't have a job in Greece would be able to go to Germany easily. I was looking at something where the labor mobility over the entire US is more than the labor mobility in Italy itself(I don't remember if it was Italy exactly, but some country in Europe--I believe it was most countries in Europe). The culture across the entire US is very similar; while each European country basically speaks its own language and has its own culture. It's not that the Eurozone contains poorly managed states(states like California and Nevada was poorly managed as well); it's that there doesn't exist a mechanism where resources can be transferred. Since such a transfer mechanism doesn't exist, the labor mobility doesn't exist, and the cultures/languages are different, each European country needs a different currency.
This is what I'm referring to:
While labour mobility certainly is harder in Europe than in the US, it cannot be said that it is not significant. For example, even in my current home of Dubai it is known that the second language spoken in the UK is Polish. So much for that myth with respect to low paying jobs. My Portuguese employer has projects in France, Switzerland, UK, Spain and Germany to name just a few. These are Portuguese fellows pushing out the locals in highly specialized strategic projects.
A common currency is keeping us sane and liquid. We couldn't shave margins in a market of volatile exchange rates. Separate currencies make labour mobility more difficult, not less.
And to top it off, I have met in Europe Europeans of such mixed heritage that they could only be called Europeans, because hey do not belong to any single EU nation.
I just don't think it's possible to have fixed exchange rates in today's world. If Europe develops a centralized taxing authority, I think it'll be possible; however, I don't think it's likely. If you look at the balance of trade across every country in Europe, what you'll see is that it's progressively worsened over every single year the Euro has been in place. I don't know how they can adjust that without flexible exchange rates or a centralized government.
I think maybe some solution like the Euro being some sort of a Bancor that Keynes envisioned with each country having its own currency in circulation along with a Bancor. Something of that sort may be able to be worked out where the Bancor could be the Euro.
More austerity! That's the answer! Why change what doesn't work? Onward!
More debts! That's the answer! Why change what caused the disaster? Backward!
And spending what you earn is NOT "austerity".
Wouldn't it be better to let the banks fail rather than to keep the bad debt serviceable by higher taxes and austerity. Rather than taking care of a failed financial sector, take care of your citizens.
The debt problem was not a government problem it was a private banking problem it was caused by reckless, unregulated banksters who profited handsomely. It became a government debt problem when leaders, for reasons unknown ( certainly not corruption ) decided to use taxpayers money and government debt to bail out the criminal banksters. Send those banksters to prison and sue them personally to recover the looted funds. That should be step one. Then the politicians who aided and abetted them.
Every quarter recovery gets pushed back another two, every year the deficit targets gets pushed back another one, when are market going to wake up and realize that one sentence dose not change basic fiscal reality.
It's not all bad news. The industrial production report published a day earlier shows an uptick of 0.7% in December, reversing the drop in November.
A name for the zone of the euro
That darkens the day of the Douro,
But brightens the Rhine
With financial sunshine;
The Union of Chiaroscuro!
Always good to see someone lighten up. Here's my riposte. Not as good I'm afraid - bit of a rapier like thrust with a broadsword
Down the Danube, up the Dnieper
Pay off Charon, hire grim reaper.
The sacré EMU is but a dodo.
Like Barberousse, O Général des Eaux
Komm' wieder von C. les deux Eglises
To save us all from bankers' sleaze.
Betting on a future recovery amid still-dismal economic data is not unusual for financial markets (and the reverse is also true, of course). If confidence stays on, most investors will dismiss today's GDP data as backward-looking, especially for Germany whose downturn was indeed more severe than expected in Q4 but was also said to be short-lived as China regains steam.
The recession in crisis-hit EMU periphery may be here to stay but everybody is aware of that, no matter what happens in Italy after the impending elections or in Spain as the probe into the ruling party's finances goes on. The IMF's revision of fiscal multipliers got investors ready for even worse figures on GDP in Q4.
A perfect case for profit-taking on these still-shaky countries could have been easily made but the back-up in yields and spreads has been modest indeed. One can argue that the ECB put option is still highly-valued if this complacency stays on.
What really could change the game is France's role. It is still placed somewhere in between the core and the periphery but the prevailing mood seems to be that if normality is restored one day it will revert to a German-like status.
The trouble is that France's government seems to hold sort of a blind acceptance of this reversion principle, bordering on faith, and doesn't feel it should worry about how credible its efforts to cut public expenditure and the deficit.
The sky-high tax rates slapped on the most affluent are likely to bring modest additional revenues (if any at all, once the Constitutional Court's recent rejection cannot be remedied). With such a narrow escape provided by current fiscal policy, France's status is in danger, all the more so if a different Germany emerges from its own elections and that other put option, tied to this historical alliance, is written off.
Good summary. Over the next 15 years, I'm actually more optimistic for Spain, Greece and Italy than I am for France.
The former all have better structural fiscal balance & current account trends than France (though these have been hard-won), have lower tax burdens, are coming from positions with higher unemployment (return of labour to active work will increase GDP), now have much higher retirement ages than France (workforces will decay less than that of France in the coming decade), and are coming from a lower productivity base (more potential for catch-up growth).
I fully expect strong growth to return in Spain, Greece and Italy. But that growth will require restructuring of the European financial sector (progress to banking union with a good resolution mechanism really should proceed faster).
It's interesting to note that the intensity of the economic crisis in France seems to be lessening, according to the Orlando Bisegna Index, whereas the index seems to bear out the view that Germany might also have stopped the rot. Indeed, most of the EU countries, with the exception of Spain and the UK, seem to be heading in the right direction of late.
Shaun, why do you say that the workforce will decay less in Spain, Greece and Italy than in France in the coming decade?
Don't the demographic trends indicate that the working-age population in France will increase, whereas in the other countries listed it will decrease?
Or have I missed something subtle about the rate of increase of the retirement age?
Is this Valentine Day Massacre (shades of Schadenfreude) the outcome of
a) belonging to the Eurozone
b) embracing austerity?
Arguments please. For a change.
It is interesting to compare with the UK performance: According to Eurostat
the Euro zone and UK growth rates were
Year 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Sum 2008-2012
Euro 0.4 -4.4 2.0 1.4 -0.4 -1.0
In other words, the UK recovery after the financial crisis has been worse than the Euro zone.
True. That's because it's mostly a banking/financial crisis (it isn't a "euro" crisis - it is a crisis of accumulated bad debts being stressed by a cyclical deleveraging amidst under capitalization of banks). And the UK, with an oversized financial sector, inevitably suffers more.
It is a fundamental principle of capitalism that businesses that are bankrupt are allowed to go bankrupt. Wasting finite money on propping up uncompetative businesses removes money that could be used to support competative businesses. Thus money spent on bailing out banks which are meant to go bankrupt is money wasted, as it could be used to support other businesses, such as those in manufacturing.
The UK financial sector is bankrupt, and capitalism dictates is should go bankrupt. Allowing those banks to go bust will hurt in the short term, but in the long term other new competative banks would come along and fill the gaps. Thats how capitalism works, and this is also why recessions are good for long term growth: they wipe out those businesses which are uncompetative and allow other businesses to become more competative via restructuring.
But Westminster would never allow this - all those dodgy corrupt bankers would instantly get wiped out - and pockets of politicians whom they fill would start to run empty.
Yes. Propping up banks instead of nationalizing them and to reduce the bad debt over time is something that the politicians foist upon the public. These banks are not to be trusted to finance real growth in the global economy.
Yes. Economies need financial intermediaries. Financial intermediaries shall exist to serve the various growth phases of economies. Propping up defunct banks is evidence that the banksters have taken over. This is the most serious impediment to growth.
i follow your main point but surely a competitive business doesn't need support?
Competative businesses dont need support, they need "loans" and "grants" for research, development and growth. If money is wasted on uncompetative businesses, there will be no money to support the competative ones - particularly for small and medium size businesses.
Olli Rehn, the commissioner in charge of economic and monetary affairs, said that this would show growth returning "only gradually in the second half of 2013".
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Go TEAM, GO!
Now we know why soccer doesn't have cheerleaders on the sidelines.
The politicians don't want Europeans to understand that concept.
The rule of mathematics goes like this, "The more you help your neighbour, the more you put brakes on your own advancement".
You must have learned math in an American high school.
This newspaper had a recent article on how Sweden had to curb it's excesses for fear of running into drift sand. Communism, an extreme form of socialism, is the ultimate "helping hand", and it took the talented East Germans to the Trabant for automotive needs. People were so happy about "no-one being left behind", that a complete external travel ban had to be imposed in Russia and others! This excessive "helping" imploded on itself.
Funny, I thought it was the complete mismanagement of a centralized government and wholesale corruption. Of course it is also worth noting that the Russians won every stage of the space race except going to the moon, which turned out to be an expensive boondogle
From what could be seen in the USSR what was practiced when any group gained power was not Communism, Socialism or Marxism but party political oligarchy.
The communist party runs the state:
The implication was any achievements and mismanagement is also due to the communist party.
Therefore any mismanagement was buried, sometimes literally. Not solved or rectified, just buried. The accumulation of bad unsolved decisions eventually killed the USSR.
This is true both in East and West where we are now facing our own crisis with politicals running everything, talented graduates being put to waste not fixing the state, while fraud runs the system of the debt economy.
The problem with communism turned out to be that the invisible hand of the market functions, even if you abolish it with lack of property and egalitarianism. When the invisible hand of the market is not allowed to exist in plain daylight, it shifts to underground means.
As a result barter, bribery and outright theft of public property flourishes in all communist countries.
This does not mean that capitalism is a universal good. It needs checks and balances and transparency, which are now both being sacrificed for centralized planning and bank sector security. What is going on now in Europe and the US cannot be called capitalism any more than it can be called communism. There is no justice, no transparency and no equality.

Hi all,
Now I have a question for those that have built and operate the Engel Typhoon sub. The sub has a water tight compartment that houses the electronics. When the sub is in the water and trimmed, how far underwater is the top surface of the WTC?
Thanks, Ed

31.05.2012 /
Erzberg Rodeo and the Red Bull Hare Scramble – words that create a rush of adrenalin and strike fear and excitement into the hearts of all Hard Enduro aficionados. Yes, it's on again on June 7-10, 2012 – the race to conquer Erzberg – Austria's notorious "Iron Mountain"
The mountain, with its terrifying profile carved from hundreds of years of mining iron ore will again present the ultimate challenge to professionals and amateurs in this, the 18th edition of one of the world's toughest offroad events. All 18,000 starting places were snapped up in 49 minutes after entries opened and the tiny Austrian town of Eisenerz is again bracing for the invasion of 40,000 enthusiastic fans.
This year is also the generation change when a new rider will be battling for the Red Bull Hare Scramble honors that have been firmly in the grip of KTM factory rider Taddy Blazusiak for the past five editions. Taddy was discovered by KTM at the Red Bull Hare Scramble and he has gone on to have a huge career in EnduroCross but his commitments in the USA prevent him from racing in 2012. This year David Knight of the KTM Enduro Factory Team has the honor of the number one start plate and will contest the ride on the KTM 300 EXC. Also competing is KTM UK's talented young rider Jonny Walker who has already tasted the dust and the glory of Erzberg. He finished on the podium in third last year.
And while the Red Bull Hare Scramble is the pinnacle of the weekend, the Erzberg Rodeo is in fact four days of action from Thursday to Sunday. The Kärcher Rocket Ride and the Generali Iron Road Prologue are just a foretaste as riders pit themselves against the cruel slopes of the mountain. In the end it is all about culling the list of 1800 starters from 35 countries down to the 500 who will line up for Sunday's 'big one'. Last year just 20 riders completed the challenge within the four-hour limit and organizer Karl Katoch has promised even more daunting challenges in 2012.
For those who prefer to get their thrills vicariously, the Rodeo offers non-stop action in side events, partying and a whole lot of other activities for those who are passionate about extreme motorcycle sports. There is also a freestyle MX show of the FMX4Ever boys on Saturday and a stunt flight by Austrian extreme pilot Hannes Arch will inject extra adrenalin into the atmosphere in the skies over Erzberg on Sunday.
Final Day with Red Bull Hare Scramble LIVE
In 2012 the Red Bull Hare Scramble will be broadcast live and can be seen straight from a streaming link on www.ktm.com, via live streaming on www.redbull.com and on ServusTV
Those who can't make it to the Iron Mountain will now be able to watch the race live and enjoy behind the scenes reporting including interviews and highlights.
Broadcast times via direct link on ktm.com & redbull.com will be Sunday, June 10 from 11.00 a.m. to 4.15 p.m! ServusTV starts their live broadcast also at 11.00 a.m.

DS Laboratories Revita Hair Growth Shampoo
JosephThunder BayHairMedium BrownFine or Thin HairNot Sure!first of all i received the item a week and a half ago and the bottle is almost finished already. It is a very small bottle and it was not at all full when i purchased it. It was about three quarters full. Also...the product made me LOSE incredible amounts of hair!!!!!!! i read the booklet that comes with it and it says the you may possibly lose a little hair at first to make way for new hair to grow. So i will buy only 1 more bottle, if i continue losing hair i will stop using it. Not sure its worth all this hair loss! ive never lost so much hair until i used this product! im cossing my fingers.posted May 13, 2011Link to this post
CjUnited StatesMaybe Worth A TryI've got some hairloss so I use rogaine which causes my scalp to have dandruff. So I was looking for a shampoo to maybe help my hair loss and clean my scalp from dandruff.
I tried this shampoo which does make my scalp clean. I am pretty sure I'm allergic to it because it makes my whole body some what itch after use it for a while. I'm allergic to a lot of stuff.
I tried it for a couple months and saw nothing helpful with my hairloss. It felt like it made my hair fall out more, but maybe it was becuase I was itchy so I was stressed more. Or because it was cleaning out the junk in the pores holding the hair in.
I've tried this in many different ways on and off for a couple months here and there. For a couple months I followed their instructions to leave it in for a couple minutes. Then for a couple months also tried just using it like a normal shampoo since it was making my body itchy.
If I was someone else I would probably still try it. Everyones different and I'm obviously allergic to it.
I'm now trying Revivogen shampoo which seems to clean out my dandruff well and doesn't make me itch. I've only been using that for a week though.posted May 8, 2011Link to this post -
JewelsMidwestHairBlondeFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairHair Loss WorseI am jealous of all the positive reviews. I've had horrible hair thinning for a year now so thought Revita would help. I've been using it for well over a month and it's increased my hair loss. It's actually made my hair so soft, my hair appears thinner. I'm not sure how much longer to give it a go, it's too expensive to buy another bottle to see if it eventually works.posted Dec 10, 2010Link to this post
SharHairMedium BrownNormal HairRelaxed HairStick With ItI have natural course hair, and its fine when relaxed. I've been using this product for a few weeks and I see growth and fullness (mostly growth) my hair is not thinning or falling out It was already pritty healthy, I belive that makes a diffrence in how the shampoo works, In conjunction with my cream of nature conditioner its definatly growing my hair!!posted Nov 11, 2010Link to this post
June K.Anderson, SCHairDark BrownFine or Thin HairBaby Fine, Limp Hair Saver!Great shampoo for fine thinning hair! I will definately purchase more. The only bad thing is the way the top of the bottle opens - different from others, and allows water from the shower to get into the bottle, slightly.posted Oct 9, 2010Link to this post
KarenHairDark BrownThick or Coarse HairLove It!I love this shampoo not because it promises to grow hair. I don't know if it does but it leaves my hair silky smooth and shiny that any hair growing potentiality it might have will be an added bonus. The only comp[lain I have is there is not much in the bottle so it is not inexpensive. But to me, "I'm worth it. "posted Oct 5, 2010Link to this post
Thais DefalcoNew YorkShampoos Don't Treat HairlossI have been using this product for a few weeks and wanted to say to everyone out there expecting to get a full head of hair only by using the shampoo: shampoos wont regrow your hair, it will help improve scalp condition and health, but if you suffer from genetic hair loss, or male pattern baldness, you need to treat the problem from within as well as outside. Shampoos alone dont do the trick. Im 28 and have been losing my hair since I was 18 or so, though it must have started before but it didnt get noticeable until later. I tried all types of shampoos and tonics and lotions until a dermatologist recommended I used minoxidil. I have been using it for a few years now along with supplements. My hair looks much fuller and I have lots of small hairs growing all over. However, I once spent about 3 months off of it because I just slacked off, and the hairloss resumed after 1 month or so. In a nutshell: this is a good shampoo and it does help a lot if you use in conjunction with other forms of treatment specific for your hair loss, such as minoxidil, azelaic acid, propecia, tretinoin, supplements, etc.posted Feb 24, 2009Link to this post
NathanOregonBest Shampoo For Thin HairThis cleans really well. Im using it with Spectral DNC-L and its working great. No complaints. Will continue to use it.posted Feb 10, 2009Link to this post
DarrylMiamiGoodThis is a good shampoo to use along with another hair loss treatment. It cleans thoroughly and leaves the hair smelling and feeling great. I feel the treatment working better after I started using the shampoo.posted Feb 10, 2009Link to this post
Anna H,NYGreat Shampoo, Don't Know If It Grows HairThis is a great shampoo. It lathers well, smells great and doesnt strip my hair. I dont know yet if itll regrow hair. Im using it along with another hair treatment and it seems to be working great. I gave it 5 stars because right off the bat I can see that it improved my scalp and hair overall condition. Im hoping it helps my hair grow back as well. Aposted Feb 4, 2009Link to this post
