More on the Scotland on Sunday news story and my article, which is also included in my last post.
My paper criticises recent work by Scottish Government economists in the Office of the Chief Economic Adviser (OCEA), which purports to show that increased productivity, investment and exports will raise the growth of the Scottish economy and generate more tax revenues.
That is unexceptional.
However, the March 3rd paper, which accompanied the Government's new Economic Strategy, has the implicit sub text that the new strategy will raise the rate of growth of productivity etc. The March 3rd paper is careful to say that it is 'illustrative' but nowhere does the paper mention the difficulties of getting an effective growth policy, something that has eluded governments for years.
It is the March 9th paper, which I find most troubling. This is essentially the March 3rd paper with anther scenario added to the analysis contained in that paper which is branded the first scenario and called the Smith Commission Scenario. The second scenario is branded the Full Revenue Retention Scenario.
What I find particularly troubling with both scenarios is that they ignore the partial or complete loss of Barnett that would have to occur before either scenario could be implemented. The second scenario is simply full fiscal autonomy (FFA) in different words and so would only follow after the loss of Barnett.
In the Scotland on Sunday news story the Scottish Government responds with:
"Going forward, these figures illustrate once again the need for the Scottish Government to have full control of job-creating powers."
I suspect what they mean with the phrase "Going forward" is that from an initial equilibrium state increased growth would generate more tax revenues for Scotland if Scotland had FFA.
But this is the wrong counterfactual.
The correct counterfactual must be taken into account, which is that in each period future public spending will be lower in Scotland because of the loss of Barnett. The counterfactual used in the OCEA model and in the quote above is that baseline public spending is unchanged. This would only be the correct counterfactual after FFA had been implemented and after the loss of Barnett.
However, given that we currently benefit from Barnett, to undertake an analysis which does not acknowledge this loss is partial at best and dishonest at worst.
I fear that this is a further example of the politicisation of the Scottish civil service. One would have expected in the past that the OCEA would have resisted pressure, had it occurred, to produce such a partial analysis.
This is an issue that clearly needs further discussion and debate.
The news story in Scotland on Sunday about my article is here. The article itself does not appear to be on the Scotland on Sunday website yet, so here it is:
On March 9th the Scottish Government published a news release "Greater gains from more fiscal control" The release claimed that
" ... new Scottish Government analysis will demonstrate that if Scotland was able to retain and reinvest all the proceeds of improved economic performance, through holding greater economic powers, the overall positive impact on GDP, employment and tax revenue would be significantly increased."
This analysis presumably by government economists in the Office of the Chief Economic Adviser (OCEA) was first released on March 3rd as a simulation exercise demonstrating how improvements in Scottish total factor productivity, investment and export performance could boost GDP employment and tax revenue. The March 9th version includes additional analysis. It first rebrands the original March 3rd analysis as a 'first scenario' which
" ... reflects the situation under the Smith Commission powers where the majority of additional tax revenue generated by increased economic activity are retained by the UK Government and cannot be directly reinvested back into the Scottish economy."
The March 9th paper adds a 'second scenario' where
" .... all additional tax revenue generated by the expansion in the economy are assumed to be retained in Scotland and reinvested back into Scotland's public finances and public services. This scenario is referred to in the paper as 'Full Revenue Retention'".
No technical paper has been released by the OCEA to explain the nature of the modelling underlying the analysis. So we are forced to guess.
In the absence of official information I suspect that the analysis has been produced by a Computer General Equilibrium (CGE) Model, which was originally developed by my colleagues in the Fraser of Allander Institute at the University of Strathclyde. The model was used in November 2011 to simulate the impact of a reduction in the corporation tax rate in Scotland. The model allows system-wide, or economy-wide, impacts of economic shocks/changes to be modelled and identified.
The OCEA and the Scottish Government should be applauded for using rigorous modelling to assess the impact of economic shocks such as policy changes. However, in this case the model has been used inappropriately to suggest political-economy outcomes that are fanciful and are lacking in economic rigour.
Let me explain.
What we can say is that the OCEA economists have brought together a general economic modelling approach with a very partial political-economy analysis.
First, in the March 3rd paper reference is made to the new Scottish Government Economic Strategy, which has the objectives of "achieving a productive, cohesive and fairer Scotland." It seeks to achieve this through desiring to boost investment, innovation, internationalisation, and inclusive growth.
Now since this is merely a wish-list the March 3rd paper simply offers an illustration of the consequences for Scottish GDP, employment and tax revenues of arbitrarily assumed small increases in total factor productivity, investment and exports. It is true that these increases relate in some sense to Scottish Government targets but as everyone knows you can have any target you like, the issue is how realistic is the target and the underlying policies adopted to achieve the targets. Not surprisingly the OCEA papers are silent on that. What must be understood at this stage is that simply having a target is obviously no guarantee of success.
Secondly, in the March 9th paper, the March 3rd analysis has become what the situation would be under Smith Commission powers as stated in the second quote above. It is not at all made clear how in the modelling the Smith Commission powers lead to an increase in productivity by 0.1% per annum over 10 years, a narrowing in the gap in investment between Scotland and its international peers, and boosting exports by 50%. This is simply assumed. There is no rigorous analysis of how policy gets productivity, investment and exports to rise. It is fanciful. It is surely not the job of the Government Economic Service in Scotland to simply and unquestioningly affirm the dreams of Government politicians.
Thirdly, and in many respects more damningly, the second scenario generates greater GDP, jobs and tax revenues because of the so-called 'Full Revenue Retention' concept, as all the tax revenues generated by growth are re-spent in Scotland, in contrast to the Smith Commission powers. Full Revenue Retention" presumably means what it says - that the Scottish government would retain all the revenue from Scottish taxation and use it to pay for the public services that Scotland receives. This is just another phrase for the idea of Full Fiscal Autonomy, which is now the policy of Ministers. It is wholly unrealistic to imagine a policy in which in addition to the Barnett formula the Scottish government also received any increases in Scottish tax yield.
So, the Scottish Government economists are in their second scenario effectively assuming full fiscal autonomy (FFA) plus Barnett. Yet, elementary political economy tells us that with FFA Barnett would be abolished and there would be no risk pooling or sharing of revenues between rest of the UK and Scotland.
I noted in my post this week on GERS 2013-14 that nearly £4 billion would be withdrawn, through higher taxes and lower public spending from the Scottish economy if Scotland had had FFA in 2013-14 and had run the same deficit as the UK. Why doesn't the OCEA include that in its analysis, or the even larger withdrawal of £6.6 billion estimated by the IFS for 2014-15 by the IFS? It is not as if it is rocket science.
On the Scottish Government website it states that one of the key aims of OCEA is to
" ... provide high-quality analytical support for Ministers and colleagues across the Government on all aspects of the Scottish economy and public finances."
Might I suggest that, on this occasion at least, that aim has not been met.
The latest Government Expenditure and Revenue Scotland (GERS) published today with data for 2013-14 is hardly a revelation. Scotland is shown to have a net fiscal deficit of -8.1% of GDP - when a geographical share of oil revenues is assigned to Scotland - while the UK deficit is -5.6%.
It is true that the data show that Scotland pays £400 more per head in tax revenues than the UK as a whole but it also enjoys greater public spending of £1,200 per head than the UK as a whole.
The absolute size of Scotland's estimated net fiscal deficit in 2013-14, at a time when oil prices - the principal driver of oil revenues - were almost twice as high as they are now, was £12.4 billion. This means that if Scotland had 'enjoyed' full-fiscal autonomy (FFA) in 2013-14 the Scottish Government would have had to fund that deficit by a mix of borrowing, higher taxes and lower public spending.
If we assume that under FFA Scotland could have been able to borrow to fund a deficit the equivalent of the UK's 5.6% - which would have been a tall order for a sub-state government, or an independent Scotland, at the same borrowing rate as the UK - then a further £3.8 billion would have had to be funded by higher taxes and lower public spending.
Now we need to be clear about the significance of that.
£3.8 billion amounts to:
So, it is not a trivial sum, to say the least.
And this greater Scottish deficit in 2013-14 is not a one-off phenomenon. The tables that can be downloaded from the Scottish Government's website to accompany the GERS publication provide runs of data back to 1998-99. The reason for doing this is that a new system of economic and government accounting has been adopted in the UK first and now in Scotland. This system, known as ESA 2010, along with some other revisions, have resulted in, quoting GERS 2013-14
"public revenue, expenditure, and GDP are higher than previously estimated. This has led to revisions to Scotland"s fiscal aggregates in all years."
The graph below charts the new estimates of net fiscal balance from GERS from 1998-99 to 2013-14.
What is evident from the chart is that in only 4 of the 16 years was the net fiscal balance in Scotland better than in the UK. (I have included data labels only for the largest deficit, Scotland or UK in each of the years.)
What that means is that in 12 of the 16 years if Scotland had 'enjoyed' FFA it would have had to have higher taxes, lower public spending or both than the UK, assuming it was able to borrow to fund the same scale of deficit as the UK - a big ask as noted above.
Of course, the situation will almost certainly deteriorate further in the next fiscal year due to the halving of oil prices in 2014 and the possibility that oil prices may stay considerably lower than the Scottish Government's expected price of $110 per barrel for some time.
Add declining oil production into the mix and we can reasonably ask: What price fiscal autonomy and what price independence?
In the latest Fraser Economic Commentary we discuss the threat to the Scottish and UK economies of the UK Coalition's current plans to increase the pace and scale of austerity over the next 4 years.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies in their IFS Green Budget 2015 highlight the scale of the UK government's recent and planned fiscal consolidation programme. The IFS analysis shows that by 2014 £110bn of fiscal tightening measures had been implemented. A further £92bn of fiscal tightening is currently planned. So, on this measure 55% of planned fiscal consolidation has been completed with 45% still to come.
Of the further planned fiscal tightening, a comparison of IMF forecasts for structural borrowing in 32 advanced economies shows that the UK has the largest planned fiscal consolidation between 2015 and 2019 and the 18th largest (or 15th smallest) planned structural deficit in 2019. Some £200 billion of fiscal tightening is nearly 13% of GDP.
If we assume a multiplier of 1.5 – not unreasonable when interest rates are close to zero and there is no scope for countervailing monetary policy - the policy would have served to have reduced GDP by 10% up to 2014 and by a further 9% by 2019.
This doesn't mean that GDP will fall by 9% between now and 2019 but does imply that private sector output must rise by a substantial amount if GDP growth is to remain in positive territory. Specifically, if the economy is to grow at around 2.5% per annum then the underlying growth rate of the private sector in the face of such anticipated fiscal consolidation would need to be of the order of 4% per annum: a big challenge for the private sector.
The outcome will also be dependent on the result of the General Election in May 2015 because the Labour and Liberal Democrat parties are planning a slower pace of fiscal consolidation and a Conservative or indeed an unspecified Coalition government might alter the scale and pace of current plans or bias any consolidation more towards tax rises than via spending cuts, which could have a different impact on growth.
The underlying basis for the estimate in Fraser of Allander Institute's latest Economic Commentary that the fall in the price of oil could raise Scottish GDP growth is given in the box below:
Our latest Economic Commentary, which was published today can be accessed here.
A summary of our findings and forecasts is provide below:
We ask: will the recovery continue? We identify several positive and negative influences that will impact on the pace of the recovery. We examine them under four headings: growth in markets; oil prices, inflation and deflation; UK fiscal and monetary policy; and Greece and the Eurozone.
Growth in markets
The key points here are:
Oil prices, inflation and deflation
UK fiscal and monetary policy
Greece and the Eurozone
The latest labour market data for Scotland, which were the subject of yesterday's post allow us to examine the type of jobs that are on offer, or are being taken up, in current conditions.
The chart below shows where we are.
In general terms, what we see is a shift since the recession away from full-time, permanent, employees, towards, part-time, temporary, and self-employment.
By the middle of last year total employment was back to its pre-recession peak, yet the shift appears to be enduring. That is not wholly accurate, though, since it is clear that full-time employment is recovering. But we cannot be certain it will automatically move back to pre-recession levels.
The growth in temporary and self-employment is large in percentage terms but small in absolute numbers: an increase of 19,000 and 33,000 respectively since the start of the recession. While some might argue that the growth in self-employment is an indication of greater entrepreneurship in Scotland, I doubt it. Many of these self-employed jobs appear likely to be more 'needs must' for people who have lost full-time jobs. The growth of temporary jobs suggest high levels of certainty exist amongst employers but it may also be something of a reflection of a developing 'zero hours' culture.
So. all of this begs the question: are the new jobs as good as the old?
Following the release yesterday (18 February) of the latest labour market statistics the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Finance, John Swinney, is reported as claiming that:
"Scotland is outperforming the UK on all three headline labour market indicators with employment continuing to increase and unemployment down …."
While this is true if you simply focus on recent levels and changes in employment and unemployment, it is not true for the Scottish labour market if one takes the period from the Great Recession in 2008 and subsequent recovery.
The latest labour market data published on Wednesday provide information up to the end of last year: October – December to be specific.
Chart 1 shows that by Oct-Dec Scottish jobs as reported in the LFS household surveys were 2.4% above the pre-recession peak, but UK jobs were 4.0% higher than the peak. So, despite the good recent performance of the labour market in Scotland overall jobs performance in the recovery continues to be worse than the UK and as noted below, there appears to be more 'slack' in the labour market in Scotland compared with the UK.
An indication that there is still a deficiency of demand in the Scottish labour market in relation to the situation before the recession is provided by data on the number of weekly hours worked. Chart 2 graphs this statistic from 2007 for the total weekly hours worked compared to the pre-recession peak for Scotland and the UK.
By the period October 2013 – September 2014, the number of total weekly hours worked in Scotland was still -1.0% below the pre-recession peak. So despite the number of jobs being higher than before the recession, the demand for labour as measured by hours worked is still lower.
Finally, not only is the demand for labour in Scotland still lower than pre-recession but demand - measured in terms of jobs - is still considerably deficient when compared to the supply of labour. Chart 3 shows the employment to population (aged 16 and over) ratio relative to pre-recession peak for Scotland and the UK to October - December 2014.
By October - December 2014, the ratio stood at -2.1% below the pre-recession peak, compared to -6.7% at the trough of the recession. In the UK as a whole, in contrast, the ratio is only +0.7% above its pre-recession peak.
All of this suggests that while the jobs market has recovered substantially, the recovery has been weaker in Scotland both in relation to the situation before the recession and in relation to the growth of labour supply. In the UK, in contrast, a strong jobs recovery is evident compared to the situation before the recession and the recovery has just managed to keep pace with the growth of the labour supply. We might venture to suggest from the data in Chart 3 that sustained pressures on wages to rise should be starting to occur in the UK, but not so in Scotland.
This conclusion is also echoed in the unemployment rate data as shown in Chart 4.
While the unemployment rate is currently lower in Scotland, at 5.4% compared to 5.7% in the UK, the UK rate is approaching its pre-recession rate of 5.4%, whereas there is still some 1.2% points to go before that situation is reached in Scotland.
So, let us cheer the good news that jobs are being created and unemployment is falling but let us not fall into the trap of ignoring the particular problems of rapid job loss, unemployment increase and a recovery biased towards part-time, adult employment that befell the Scottish labour market over the earlier period of recession and recovery.
The recent significant fall in world oil prices raises several issues and questions.
One crucial issue is whether the low price will be sustained. If not, through, for example Saudia Arabia cutting back on production, then any effect on economic activity will be short lived. But it is now clear that Saudia Arabia has much less power to influence world oil prices than it used to have due to its diminishing share of world oil production.
Another crucial issue is whether economic agents e.g. Investors in energy expect the low oil price to sustain. One key factor here is the structural change that has occurred to world oil and gas supply due to the development of US shale. This development makes much less certain the view that the oil price will soon pick up as growth in the world economy recovers. Assuming then then that oil prices will remain low for some time because of the growth of supply relative to weak demand then we should expect something like the following consequences:
The U K economy should benefit: improved trade balance, lower input costs; both of which should boost growth in the UK.
Scotland will benefit from the UK boost to growth but as an oil exporting economy growth will slow directly as a result of the lower oil price: the demand for oil is price inelastic so the value of oil sales and hence Scottish incomes and domestic demand will fall directly on that account. Exploration may also be deterred so investment offshore and probably also in Scotland is likely to fall. It is difficult to assess what the net effect will be. What we can say is that Scotland's economic performance will deteriorate relative to the UK due to the oil price fall.
The renewables industry will be affected quite badly in the short to medium term: it will become less price competitive and hence there will be reduced demand for renewable energy and less investment in the industry. It will also deter investment in future renewable technologies such as wave power as the recent problems with Aquamarine probably affirm. Scotland will suffer disproportionately compared to UK because of the relatively greater importance of renewables to the Scottish economy.
The UK public finances will be affected. In the short run negatively as oil revenues fall but in the medium to longer term it is difficult to say due to the boost to growth and taxes paid to the Exchequer. My guess is a probable net benefit to UK tax revenues.
An independent Scotland would suffer badly if the low price was sustained: lower economic growth, lower tax revenues and a much worse structural fiscal deficit. It would bring the whole economics of independence into question. This indeed is the long - term consequence irrespective of what happens to the price of oil because of falling oil production volumes from the North Sea. It would make it more imperative for an independent Scotland to develop alternative sources of production and tax revenues. This would be difficult if Scotland is exposed to the international financial markets to fund its borrowing.
As part of the UK, Scotland is sheltered, even with the Smith Commission proposals, by the retention of the Barnett formula for non devolved spending. This should ease the adjustment of the Scottish economy to a future low oil price, low oil production volume state. However, the necessary adjustment will only occur if the Scottish Government and the private sector invests in developing and diversifying Scotland's export - and particularly manufacturing export - base.

On November 12th, we published our latest Fraser of Allander Institute Economic Commentary, - sponsored by PWC. On the same day, the Scottish Government published its quarterly accounts for the second quarter under the Scottish National Accounts Project (SNAP). The Commentary, therefore, could only analyse the drivers of Scotland's economic recovery up to and including the first quarter of this year, drawing on the previous SNAP publication in August.
The latest SNAP data allow us to extend the analysis to the second quarter and take account of revisions to GDP and its spending components in previous quarters. We include below a chart that updates Figure 18 on page 20 of the latest Commentary.
In the Commentary we concluded that elements of a balanced recovery were starting to fall into place, investment was picking up, reinforcing the continuing growth of household spending, while the balance between exports and imports – net trade – continued to be a drag on the economy.
The latest data reinforce that conclusion.
In the second quarter, nominal GDP grew by 1.3%. The main driver of growth was Gross Capital Formation or more loosely investment, contributing 1.95% points to growth, followed by household spending, contributing 0.68% points, and general government spending, contributing 0.28% points. Superficially, if imports had been balanced by exports nominal GDP growth would have been the sum of those three components, or 2.91%. Unfortunately, net trade (exports minus imports) was strongly negative, contributing -1.64% to growth.
Looking back over the previous 4 quarters it is quite clear from the chart that investment has played a stronger role in driving growth than the earlier data implied. Some of this clearly reflects construction spending on major projects such as the second Forth road crossing and it remains to be seen whether companies right across the economy are raising their investment spending. The positive contribution to growth of household spending is evident for 4 of the 5 quarters, although the contribution to growth is a little less on the revised data.
None of this diminishes our warning in the latest Commentary that the economy needs more investment and that government should play a key role by undertaking major infrastructure projects funded if necessary by debt rather than cuts in public spending in other areas. The weakness of Scotland's international trade position in fact reinforces the case for more investment both in the short and long run.
In the short-run there is still the need for strong investment growth to boost demand. Firstly, to offset the drag on the economy as the growth of imports continues to run ahead of the growth of exports, and secondly, to offset the expected slowdown in the growth of household demand as household debt rises and household incomes stagnate with little or no growth in real wages.
However, it is in the long run that the need for strong investment in the economy is even more pressing to improve competitiveness and overcome our weak international trade position. There is little doubt that Scotland's net trade position – excluding North Sea oil – is weak. From the latest SNAP data we can chart net trade as a percentage of GDP going back to 1998 and this is presented in the chart below:
Over the period the trade deficit has averaged just over 7% of GDP. As part of the UK union Scotland has received compensating fiscal flows with the fiscal deficit roughly mirroring the trade deficit, although a proper accounting balance would require the inclusion of net income from abroad to complete the balance of payments picture. An independent Scotland, in contrast, would have oil sales added to its trade account and these probably roughly balance the non-oil fiscal deficit.
The problem for Scotland in the future is that oil sales and oil tax revenues are declining. An independent Scotland would find it unsustainable to borrow to meet the loss of oil revenues and so would either have to cut public spending significantly or find new sources of tax revenue. Probably, the best solution would be to seek ways to raise the rate of growth of the economy generating tax revenues in this way. However, given the openness of the Scottish economy probably the only sustainable way to do this is to boost export performance significantly. Boosting domestic consumption and demand would almost certainly lead to imports being sucked in that would stall the growth process replicating the traditional UK experience of "stop-go".
The problem does not, however, go away if Scotland continues as part of the UK union. Under the new devolution arrangements that are coming into place while Scotland will not be assigned oil revenues, the decline of oil will have indirect effects on Scottish incomes, which will lower income tax yields here. And as I have argued above, higher and sustainable future income tax revenues are probably best achieved through increased growth that is export led. Moreover, from a political standpoint given that the Barnett formula remains in place for the residual portion of Scottish government revenues that are not raised locally, the pressure from Westminster to abolish Barnett and encourage greater Scottish fiscal autonomy seems likely to increase as oil revenues diminish.
So Scotland needs to boost its export performance. The Scottish Government's Programme for Scotland 2014-15 One Scotland recognizes the need for the Scottish economy to internationalise in Para 113:
Encouraging a greater international focus among Scottish businesses is a fundamental part of rebalancing of the Scottish economy, and delivering sustainable economic growth over the longer term. With this in mind, the Scottish Government has set an ambitious target for export growth, to increase the value of international non- oil and gas exports by 50 per cent by 2017.
This is an ambitious target. One might go further and suggest that without a systematic strategy to rebuild Scotland's non-oil export base there is little if any likelihood of policy raising the real value of exports in ten years never mind in two and a half years by 2017.
There is little in One Scotland to suggest that the Scottish Government has such as strategy; a subject that I shall return to in later posts.

Department of Transportation will be closing the intersection of
High Point Road, Millis Road and East Bonner Drive and a section of
High Point Road between Guilford College Road and Bonner Avenue as
part of the High Point Road widening project. The work is scheduled
to be completed in approximately 30 days.
Motorists will not be able to access Stanford Road, Millis Road or
East Bonner Avenue from High Point Road. The closure is necessary
to reroute High Point Road to its new location between Vickrey
Chapel Road and Guilford College Road.
During the road closure, motorists can access GTCC's Jamestown
Campus using Vickrey Chapel Road and the newly constructed section
of High Point Road as the detour route. From Guilford College Road,
turn right onto Vickrey Chapel Road and continue to Main Street
(formerly Old High Point Road) to access the college's entrance at
West Bonner Avenue.
In addition, Stanford Road will be permanently closed where it
connects to existing High Point Road. Motorists will no longer be
able to access the college campus using Stanford Road.
Please refer to the enclosed map (PDF) for additional guidance.

Rising Rates of Military Suicides Reveal Complex Effects of Service on Soldiers' Health
Since 2005, the incidence of suicide deaths in the U.S. military began to sharply increase. A new study shows that the same factors that influence suicide risk in civilian populations--including mental health problems and substance abuse--appear to play more of a role in military suicides than combat duty. But experts say the issue is far more complex than any single factor.

You're probably aware that the first two installments of the much-ballyhooed Arkham games were made by Rocksteady. For the upcoming prequel, Batman: Arkham Origins, though, Warner Bros. Games Montreal have taken charge. Their stated goal is to keep the critically-acclaimed spirit of the games intact, while offering an adventure of even grander scope. The premise of Origins (eight assassins converge on Gotham City to murderize Batman, a big ol' shitstorm ensues) certainly lends itself to that idea.

U-12 Travel Description 2014/15
Year of birth 2003 - 2004
Team Philosophy - This program's primary focus is to work with highly motivated U-12 aged athletes on their technical and tactical fundamentals. The U-12 travel team is designed, and staffed, by coaches who are committed to making the training atmosphere fun, challenging, and relevant to the current and future potential of the athlete. Improving, honing and refining basic skills and fundamentals will ensure our athletes progress when moving on to the next age class. The core training plan of the team revolves around the North Series races held within the Intermountain Division. In addition to the North Series races, we will have timing to practice real time race scenarios: inspection, mindset, visualization and competition anxiety management. These skills transfer directly over to the athlete's participation at the North Series competitions. The travel team will not race the U-12 Home Mini World Cup race series. We will also have a Skills Quest evaluation some time in March. The USSA's Long Term Athlete Development progressions, and Skills Quest evaluation methods are used for designing and implementing appropriate training plans for the U-12 Travel athlete. Timing and video are also provided for the U-12 Travel athlete.
Training - 4 days per week - Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday through the end of March
Races - North Series races
Dryland Training - 3 days per week - Monday, Wednesday and Thursday
Lockers and ski storage will be provided in the ski team training center to store their equipment.

FF Mark and FF Quadraat in-use case: PAGE Magazine
PAGE is one of the leading design publications in Germany for creatives and professionals in design, advertising and media.
Working in conjunction with the agencies digitalmobil and SQUIECH Design, the team has recently overhauled their online presence. Both their print and online publications have been set in FontFonts including FF Mark and FF Quadraat, bringing a fresh, contemporary yet timeless look to the brand.
Combining the new with the old and with its roots firmly seated in 1920s German geometry, FF Mark has seen a meteoric rise since it's release in 2013. Designed by Hannes von Döhren and Christoph Koeberlin, it was a special project initiated by Hannes and FontFont with input from Erik Spiekermann and the FontFont Type Department. Strong, simple and bold, and crafted with the utmost consideration and perfection (aka German Engineering), it is "ze Germanetric sans". In the print magazine the headers are set in a variety of weights of FF Mark, whilst the whole website is set in FF Mark Web.
In the print magazine the body text is also set in another famous FontFont — Fred Smeijers's FF Quadraat. One of the earliest typefaces to join our library it has become a go-to choice for many editorial designers.
You can view FF Mark in all it's glory on our award-winning microsite ffmark.com and read more about the changes to PAGE (in German).

Über FontFont FF Basic Gothic
Next up in our Über FontFont series is Hannes von Döhren and Livius F. Dietzel's functional and versatile FF Basic Gothic. Released in 2010, Hannes and Livius took inspiration from the letterforms of Gill Sans and Antique Olive to come up with a sans serif that was optimized for maximum legibility. At first glance it has a strikingly stripped back appearance but on closer inspection the precise, refined curves and straight lines add a touch of finesse.
Über FontFonts are typefaces that have been in demand the most during the last three months.permalink
ISTD Awards 2014
A couple of weeks ago, we were invited to attend the International Typographic Awards ceremony in Bexhill hosted by the International Society of Typographic Designers (ISTD). It was a record win for FontFont. Four of our newer typefaces, FF Ernestine by Nina Stössinger, FF Mark by Hannes von Döhren and Christoph Koeberlin, FF Quixo by Frank Grießhammer and FF Antithesis by Yanone, were all awarded a Certificate of Excellence.
The ISTD is an international society whose mission is to raise awareness and interest in all forms of typographic communication. Promoting typographic standards and excellence, their awards are one of the most highly sought after accolades in the industry. Huge congratulations to all our FontFont Designers!
FF Antithesis by Yanone – The smallest super family ever.
FF Ernestine by Nina Stössinger – feminine, but not too girly – charming and sturdy at the same time.

FF Mark gets folded for a fictional Hungarian Guggenheim
We love it when students do something out of the ordinary with our fonts, just as Krisztián Lakosi and Richárd Lakosi have done with FF Mark.
This great reinterpretation of FF Mark features in a project that looks at the construction of a fictional Hungarian Guggenheim in Budapest whilst asking the question: How would it take shape in today's Hungary?
During the three stages of the project, FF Mark is transformed into a folding alphabet, giving a whole new look to one of the most popular typefaces in the FontFont library.
Take a look at the whole project here.
About FF Mark
FF Mark is a self-initiated collaboration between Hannes von Döhren, FontFont's very own Christoph Koeberlin, and the entire FontFont Type Department. With the creative support/input of no less than Erik Spiekermann, they designed this distinctive typeface. FF Mark is strong, simple and bold in form and at a glance may appear to be typical of its predecessors from the time. On closer inspection, letter shapes are wider, letter proportions are better balanced and the x-height is uncharacteristically "normal" or higher, which increases its versatility tremendously.
FFMark.com is the microsite alternative to a normal font sample for FF Mark, providing a greater insight into the capabilities and background of the typeface.
FF Mark In-Use: Walter Gropius' "The Scope of Total Architecture"
FF Mark — "Ze Germanetric sans" has most recently been used in this beautiful reprint, by Przemek Dębowski and printed by Polish publishing house Karakter, of a collection of essays by the founder of the Bauhaus, Walter Gropius. Gropius' "The Scope of Total Architecture" was originally written at a the time of an industrial boom during the early 20th Century, a time that bears a lot of influence on FF Mark — an up-to-date typeface rooted in 1920s German geometry. As a family that maintains the integrity of tradition but in a contemporary context, FF Mark is the ideal type partner to this collection of essays that are is still considered to be applicable to modern architecture today.

FF Mark In-Use: The Dash
Our next 'In-Use' case comes from a Kickstarter project for the world's first wireless smart in-ear headphones known as The Dash. With the ability to hold a 1000 songs, built-in performance tracking and body sensors, The Dash looks to be the future in headphone technology.
As a kickstarter project the website is required to attract as much attention as possible, making the strong, bold and eye catching FF Mark the perfect typeface for drawing in potential investors.
About FF Mark
FF Mark was designed by Hannes von Döhren, Christoph Koeberlin and the FontFont Type Department. Born from the idea to create an up-to-date typeface rooted in 1920s German geometry, the typeface is strong, simple and bold in form and at a glance may appear to be typical of its predecessors from the time.
Making of FFMark.com
We are pleased to announce that the Type Directors Club (TDC) have given recognition to the FFMark.com microsite with a "Certificate of Typographic Excellence" in the TDC Communication Design competition.
Both FF Mark and FFMark.com were, in many respects, unique ventures in the history of FontFont with each case taking a contemporary approach on established classic ideas.
Whilst the new FF Mark was formed as a reinterpretation of a classic Geometric sans, FFmark.com was created as a modern design of a digital specimen. Created as part of the FF Mark release the idea behind the site was to replace a standard font sample with something deeper, more interactive, informative and playful.
Unlike a normal font sample FFMark.com provides a greater insight into the capabilities and background of FF Mark. Some of the key features on the site include:
- FreeFönt download
- A new way of comparing weights
- Interactive Type Sampler
- Interactive mockup generator: Test and preview the typeface across
various different media formats and application
- A historical look into classic geometric sans
World-renowned type designer Hannes von Döhren worked together with FontFont's Christoph Koeberlin and the FontFont Type Department to create the new typeface in October 2013.
From here they went on to work with FontFont's marketing team, fronted by Alexander Roth, to design FFMark.com, utilising an analogue approach of sketches as opposed to designing straight into digital format.
Once the final sketches were complete only then was the final artwork digitalised and passed to the development wizard, Rob Meek who created the site over a period of two weeks.
The sketches below from the early stages of the site design represent only the inventory of elements and features without any serious attempts to design them at this stage and so should be viewed as neither beautiful, nor ugly but simply useful.

New Release: FF 64
FF63 saw a FontFont milestone with the App+ license and this latest release is just as much an occasion as the last. With two brand new designs and Cyrillic language updates to three of our Pro packages, we have been counting down the days in high anticipation – we are simply super thrilled to bring you FF64.
New Designs
FF Mark
New meets old meets technic, FF Mark is more than just an average geometric sans. A special type project, Ze new Germanetric sans is a collaboration by Hannes von Döhren, Christoph Koeberlin, and the FontFont Type Department with creative support from Erik Spiekermann.
True to geometric tradition yet contemporary for today's needs, the family of 10 weights ranging from Hairline to Black is designed with versatility in mind. Extreme weights have been engineered to shine bright in large sizes and middle weights optimized for body copy.
And to mark the launch of FF Mark, we are launching a new microsite to showcase and celebrate the thinking and creative process behind the typeface. Discover, interact with and download the exclusive Free Fönt at www.ffmark.com.
FF Kievit Slab
Four years in the making and designed with utmost precision Mike Abbink and Paul van der Laan's latest expansion of the FF Kievit superfamily has arrived.
The long-anticipated FF Kievit Slab has been carefully adjusted and fine-tuned in width and contrast to help make it an extremely robust and elegant typeface.
Much akin to its successful sisters, the new slab sibling comes in 9 weights from Thin to Black and matching italics, which makes it a perfect companion to other members of the FF Kievit family.
Typographical finesse has been delivered in the form of small caps, old style, lining, and tabular figures, and a mountain of OpenType glory.
The entire superfamily is well suited for editorial and book design, packaging and superfit for corporate branding and creative industries.
Language Extensions & Updates
Talk in even more type tongues with welcomed Cyrillic updates for FF Mister K Regular, FF Mister K Informal, FF Profile and FF Tisa Sans. Our extensive library also offer fonts for several scripts aside from Latin, including Greek, Arabic, Hebrew and even Armenian.

Are you the next FontFont designer?
The stories and faces behind some of our FontFont Designers
Have you got a tremendous typeface design up your sleeve? At FontFont, we are driven by our love for type and typography and are always on the lookout for new typographical talent. When we started back in 1990, our mission was to create 'fonts for designers by designers'. Since then, designers from across the world have contributed to our library. Twice a year, the TypeBoard, a committee of internal and external experts come together to review submissions.
Our submission policy continues to be as open as ever; we look for original designs and judge all submissions based on their aesthetic, technical and practical merits. If accepted your design will join the ranks of typographical triumphs such as FF Meta, FF Scala, FF DIN, FF Ernestine, and FF Tisa.
From the well-known to the newly discovered, our designers come from all walks of life. Here are the stories and experiences of three different FontFont designers, who have recently released their typefaces through us.
A lengthy love affair | FF Spinoza
Max Phillips, a New York–based art director, illustrator, toy designer, and novelist (of the award winning 'Fade to Blonde'), released his first ever typeface as a FontFont. His first beautiful typeface FF Spinoza was developed over a period (on and off) of eleven years. An elegant workhorse, FF Spinoza is a classic text family with individual character to hold its own in display sizes.
We asked Max what it was like to become a FontFont Designer:
'Basically, I was asked to join a club whose members include Kris Sowersby, Tobias Frere-Jones, Akira Kobayashi, Jean-François Porchez, LeTeRror, Hannes von Döhren, Martin Majoor, Nick Shinn, Jeremy Tankard… the list goes on. And, of course, Neville Brody and Erik Spiekermann. It was the greatest honor of my professional life.'
When describing what it was like to work with FontFont, he said,
'FontFont took tremendous pains with the work. When Andreas Frohloff returned his first edits on Spinoza, I was a bit dazed. He'd altered almost every glyph in every font. In some cases he'd clearly improved things. In some cases I felt that he was correcting real problems, but that I wanted to correct them in my own way. Andreas was there to help. And that's the way things went. FontFont put a lot of work into Spinoza, but they left the final design decisions to me, even though I was a first-timer and they're the world's foremost independent foundry.'
Joining forces | FF Basic Gothic
In contrast to Max, Hannes von Döhren has been designing typefaces for a number of years and set up his own foundry HVD Fonts in 2008. He became well known for his highly successful releases such as Brandon Grotesque, Brevia, Livory, ITC Chino, and Reklame Script.
In 2010, working with Livius Dietzel, he joined forces with FontFont to release FF Basic Gothic.
'On the one hand type design is all about creativity, optical decisions – the visual, but on the other hand there is a lot of engineering behind a font. Therein, I believe, lies the strength of FontFont. There are many type designers who would prefer to concentrate on the visual. FontFont takes over the visual and technical quality testing of font production and with that guarantees an high level of quality for their fonts.'
Fulfilling a FontFont dream | FF Ernestine
Nina Stössinger was also one of our designers who released her first ever commercial typeface design, FF Ernestine, through us. Having studied Multimedia Design and later Type Design, Nina set up her studio in Basel in 2008. Ernestine was born from the search for a versatile monoline text typeface; it's warm with a serious overtone, feminine with an underlying rigid assurance, above all it is charmingly sturdy. She first drew the Roman as a study project at the postgraduate Type Design programme in Zurich, and the Italic in dialogue with Hrant Papazian's Armenian design.
When asked about what it was like working with FontFont she said:
'To be honest, I have for a long time dreamed of one day not only designing a typeface, but releasing it through FontFont! Ambitious dreams – and I'm still amazed that they have actually come true. I am both proud and humbled to be part of this great library which in my perception sits right at the crossroads of relevance and innovation, utmost professionalism and agile freshness, trustworthiness and openness to experiment.'
Now it's your turn …
With the next TypeBoard happening on May 21, you still have time to submit your designs.permalink
New release: FF54
BERLIN, GERMANY, December 2010 – FSI FontShop International announced the latest additions to its award-winning FontFont® typeface library.
The new FontFonts
FF Basic Gothic — Due to its popularity online, Verdana has effectively become the basic sans serif. Yet in print it tends to looks too heavy and a little unwieldy. As a response to this FontFont releases FF Basic Gothic. Influenced by the early sans serif typefaces of the 19th century and developed for today's highest standards, it is a sans serif optimized for maximum legibility. With its functional, basic look, it is willful but pleasant at the same time. Inspired by the unique letter forms of Gill Sans and Antique Olive, designers Hannes von Döhren and Livius Dietzel searched for exceptional yet legible proportions. At the same time, the letters are stripped down to their basic forms, with precise curves and straight lines, making FF Basic Gothic extremely versatile for a multitude of applications.
Their extended weight range makes it interesting for corporate designers; TYPO Berlin 2011 already trusts on FF Basic Gothic (as well as on FF Scala). The type family performs especially well in small sizes, both in print and on the screen – thanks to the hinting experts of the FontFont Type Department.read more

According to Sean Malstrom, 'To those who have seen Zelda since the beginning, you know Zelda did big changes throughout the games. Then, with Wind Waker it seems like everything froze into place. The 'change' is something like trains or flying but the formula is the same.' There is also the fact that, at heart, the game is a sword-fighting game, even with the larger emphasis on puzzles. After all, the focus is not on Link himself, but rather the Master Sword. Otherwise, there would not have been a backlash regarding Skyward Sword possibly having Link ditch his sword.
Oddly, Eiji once said that Twilight Princess was 'without a doubt, the last Zelda game as you know it in its present form.' However, barring the possible sword change, the series remained very much the same. Hyrule Warriors not only brought this change (in a way that does not alienate the series, too!) but also was closer to the traditional games! To this effect, I dare say that Hyrule Warriors is the new true and honest The Legend of Zelda series!
If Koei ever did Mario Warriors, then all I want is THE ABILITY TO PLAY BOWSER.

Travel Updates
Qantas gives its domestic flight meals a fast food style makeover
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- August 22, 2014
AIRLINE meals are getting a fast food style makeover on Qantas domestic routes with economy class meals to be served in a box rather than on a tray from late next month.
The change is designed to speed up service and give travellers more room to dine and work on a laptop or tablet.
Despite the "fast food" look, Qantas has promised the meals will be 50 per cent larger than current tucker served in domestic economy and of a better standard.
CUTBACKS: Jetstar to become Flying Kangaroo?
Qantas head of domestic product and service Helen Gray said the changes meant "more choice, more food and even better quality".
"By getting the trays out of people's way, we're able to give our customers more room to work and relax in-flight," said Ms Gray.
"It will also speed things up so crew can spend more time providing a personalised service."
GALLERY: The best and worst of airline food
WARNING: Qantas urged not to sell Frequent Flyers
The custom-made boxes will be rolled out from September 22, with travellers to be given a choice of a hot meal or a "substantial" salad.
Meal examples include beer battered flathead fillets with seasoned wedges and lemon, stir-fried honey chicken with Hokkien noodles, and lentil quinoa and falafel salad with pomegranate dressing.
After dinner, travellers will be offered a Lindt chocolate ball.
A Qantas spokeswoman said the change was the result of feedback from customers that they wanted more space, and faster delivery and clearing of food.
"The trays were just taking up too much room," she said.
SERVICE: Qantas opts for plates, not trays
TRAVEL TIPS: World's craziest Maccas outlets
Significant investment was going into the culinary overhaul, the spokeswoman said.
But she declined to say just what the switch was costing Qantas which is preparing to announce one of its biggest annual losses on record next week.
National consumer advocate Christopher Zinn said any improvement in the quality of the food would be welcomed by travellers.
"They did downgrade the quality of the food some years ago and then really had to back-pedal to recover, getting famous chefs on board," said Mr Zinn. Chef Neil Perry has been working with the airline since 1997.
SKY-HIGH DINING: Qantas' first-class fare
Mr Zinn said the presentation of the food would matter to travellers.
"There's no doubt you pay a premium for Qantas, and you expect to have the service that goes with a full service airline," Mr Zinn said.
"There has to be a minimum standard and it remains to be seen if this is a further erosion of the standard."
The first boxes to be used by Qantas will feature artwork from children in the Kids Xpress program, which provides youngsters with professional counselling and trauma intervention.

So qantas finally admit that they have made the seating so cramped you cant even eat normally. Of course your customers want more space. Why not just paint all the planes silver and be done with it..
Nick Posted at 8:16 AM August 22, 2014
I am 100% behind moving away from hot airline food - even business class hot food is at best cafe quality, if that. It's just impossible to re-heat food and have it taste particularly good. What should be served is a nice fresh crispy roll with salad or meats or some other condiments.
Brad of Northcote Posted at 8:15 AM August 22, 2014
So they downgraded the quality of the food some years back and Neil Perry has been working with them since '97? I am not a Nail Perry fan, but what involvement has he had in the economy menu over the years? There is better selection of and quality food on jetstar and a reasonable price. People pay extra for a qantas ticket and get nothing but disappointment. Is this Alan's grand plan to sell of qantas ? Why does Emirates have more counter space at Adelaide airport than qantas and jetstar combined ? There is only one person to blame for qantas profit loss and staff moral.. Why is he still there ...?

Generating high-quality leads must be at the core of any good B2B email marketing strategy.
Growing the email list continues to be a top goal for a B2B marketer in 2012. However, many marketers have low opt-in email address coverage for their customer and prospect lists. They're often at a loss for help to ramp up their opt-in email collection efforts.
Recent discussions with clients prompted me to revisit an earlier ClickZ column, "3 Steps to Grow Your Email List More Effectively." I haven't changed my recommendations, but the advice is worth reviewing if growing your email list is one of your biggest challenges.
Step 1: Work With Your Sales Team
Corporate marketing and the sales organization often disagree about who's the most effective in marketing to customers and prospects. Many salespeople send out their own email marketing messages to private lists of customers and prospects. They believe marketing will fill their customer's inbox with irrelevant email messages and the sales team will have to field customer complaints.
The most effective way to combat this is to build comfort and trust of your email-marketing programs within the sales organization. Demonstrate to sales that your email messages will not damage their customer relationships. Show how your lead nurture programs will help them become more efficient and allow them to concentrate on converting the hottest leads.
Your first step is to publish your plans and results and review them regularly with sales. Answer the sales reps' "What's in it for me?" question. Show them which data points you use to classify a hot lead and the process you use to nurture them until they are ready for sales follow-up.
When sales trusts your email program, you can start to improve the coverage in your customer and prospect database.
One client engaged sales and made needed changes to his email program to produce higher-converting leads. The result: a dramatic increase almost overnight in the client's ability to email his customers and prospects.
Step 2: Don't Rent Lists
Many marketers with postal direct mail backgrounds buy or rent lists to sell their products and bring that experience when they move into email marketing.
However, third-party list use in email has many pitfalls that postal direct marketing doesn't face:
My advice is to avoid buying or renting lists. Third-party lists are expensive and typically do not deliver results like your organically grown in-house list.
Step 3: Build Your List Organically
Organic list growth continues to be the most effective method to grow your list. From the basics to some more innovative approaches, there are many creative tactics to build your list. Consider these ideas:
The Last Word
Generating high-quality leads must be at the core of any good B2B email marketing strategy. However, permission-based email address capture and list growth remains one of the biggest challenges for B2B marketers in 2012.
In today's market, failing to provide high-quality, hot leads through the email channel can be disastrous for the company as everyone has to do more with the marketing budget.
However, when you succeed, the results can be magnificent. I recently spoke with a marketer who grew his opt-in email database coverage from less than 30 percent to more than 80 percent coverage in a year and a half, using the techniques I described here.
It's well worth the time and effort when that high-performing internal email list delivers highly qualified leads that sales can quickly convert to revenue.

WLUK, Channel 11, switched to high definition local news broadcasts on Monday.
The station's 5 p.m. newscast was it's first in HD.
The program featured a new set, new graphics and a music upgrade.
Jay Zollar, vice president and general manager, said the goal was to provide a set that was visually appealing and that provides flexibility for local content.
WFRV, Channel 5, launched high-definition newscasts in June 2011. WBAY, Channel 2, followed with HD news in December.
WGBA, Channel 26, expects to switch to HD newscasts by the end of the year.

Crime Beat (March 28)
Click here to view the Wichita County Sheriff's Inmate Roster
A 54-year-old Wichita Falls man was arrested Monday on suspicion of sexually abusing an 11-year-old girl in September.
Larry Gene Holder, address listed in the 1600 block of North Seventh, was charged with aggravated sexual assault, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. Holder's bond was set at $100,000.
According to the affidavit:
On Sept. 7, officers were called to a Wichita Falls elementary school on a report of a child who had possibly been sexually abused the previous weekend.
The accuser — an 11-year-old girl — said the abuse took place at her home. She was interviewed at Patsy's House Children's Advocacy Center, where she told a forensic interviewer her abuser was Holder.
She said she had been asleep in her bed when Holder laid down next to her, took her clothes off and began to molest her. The accuser said Holder also took his pants off.
A sexual assault exam also showed the child had injuries consistent with the allegations.
The girl's mother told police she had spoken with Holder after the girl told her what had allegedly happened. She said he told her, "If something happened, I'm sorry."
Holder was interviewed by investigators the following day. He told them he had been out drinking the night in question and admitted to getting in the bed with the girl. He did not admit to the sexual assault.
Man, 24, arrested after drugs found
The Wichita County Sheriff's Office Special Response Unit and the Wichita County District Attorney's Drug Enforcement Unit executed a search and arrest warrant at 4:45 a.m. Tuesday at 1212 Santa Barbara.
Francisco Gutierrez, 24, was arrested and charged with manufacture/delivery of a controlled substance over 4 grams under 200 grams. He was transported to the Wichita County Detention Center without further incident.
About 9 grams of powder cocaine, $553 in currency and a small amount of marijuana was seized at the residence.
Gutierrez's bond was set at $100,000.
The following was taken from Wichita County court records:
■ Jamie Berend, 20, address unknown, was charged with possession of controlled substance over 1 gram under 4 grams-methamphetamine in connection with an incident Feb. 12. Berend's bond was set at $10,000.
■ Toni Nicole Wilson, 22, address unknown, was charged with possession substance under 1 gram in connection with an incident Feb. 12. Wilson's bond was set at $1,500.
■ Christina Marie Wright, 27, address unknown, was charged with manufacture/delivery over 1 gram in a drug-free zone in connection with an incident Feb. 14. Wright's bond was set at $50,000.

|2012 Stanley Cup: Kings confident as they head into Game 6 vs. Devils
|Written by Anthony Rome
|Sunday, 10 June 2012 22:35
Kings confident heading into Game 6
LOS ANGELES, CA (AP) - There's no panic in Los Angeles after twice missing out on chances to win the Stanley Cup. At least that was the company line on Sunday, as the Kings discussed Game 6.
Many of them, in fact, took an optional skate less than a day after a 2-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils in Game 5, and seemed upbeat afterward.
``That's a bit of the doubt that we wanted to put in their heads, right from the get-to. But it took us a while to be able to get to that,'' Brodeur said after the Devils skated at the El Segundo rink. ``We dug ourselves a really big hole that's going to be tough to overcome. But it's getting a little more realistic every day. So, we're looking forward to challenging them again. It takes a lot of pressure for them to try to win it and close the deal.

Underrated hottie? Yep. Rashida Jones from Parks and Recreation gets all hot and bothered in the current edition of Flaunt magazine and transforms from sitcom cutie to model hottie, leaving us all hot and bothered in the process.
We've had a thing for Rashida Jones for some time now, if you've had that same thing, you know exactly how we're feeling checking her out in Flaunt. If you haven't had that thing, be prepared to feel it for the first time. Enjoy.
