Note: Marian Gaborik Is A Lethal Weapon
On the MSG Postgame show on Friday, former Rangers coach Mike Keenan was asked by Al Trautwig what he saw in Marian Gaborik's game.
Keenan said that Gaborik was "electrifying" and "full of confidence on the ice."
He said that he didn't know why Gabby didn't have his confidence last season, but that the way he is playing now he is a "lethal weapon that they could use every night."
Mike Salfino writes in the Wall Street Journal, "Instead of waiting for the perfect opportunity, Gaborik's peppering goalies with the most shots per game in the league through Saturday. His rate of 4.6 pucks on net is a 48% increase from last year. And he's found the back of the net nine times in the Rangers' 15 games—a 49-goal pace."
As of yesterday, Gaborik ranked second in the league with 60 shots. He has only had fewer than three shots in a game twice this season.
He is once again playing as the most exciting Ranger in a long time. His legs are moving, he is going to the net, playing hard all over. It's an all-star caliber season for Gabby.

It's a great movie will really twist your mind, after it ends you realize no logic can explain what really happened and you start to analyze the movie like a dream where you can jump from 1 story to the next in the blink of an eye.
This is how David has made it, when you ask 1 question instead of an answer you get another question that confuses you even more, after a while you have a hard time telling what's and up and down.
It felt like your where falling in zero gravity really when I watched this movie, it really got to me I really recommend it.

William Wigfield arrived in Indian River County from West Virginia in 1887. Captain Frank Forster sold him five acres of land on Orchid Island for $200 in 1891. He built the house pictured here with lumber from Titusville. When a destructive storm on the island caused him to move, he was deeded 160 acres in 1892 between Kings Highway, Old Dixie Highway, and 58th Street now Hawks Nest Golf Course. The house was relocated to the new property by tearing it down and hauling it by raft and oxcarts to the new location. He lived there until his death in 1930. His daughter Virginia came back to live with him in 1906 after her mother died, and she remained in the house and continued his floral business after he died, until her death in 1971.

This photograph in the collection was another exciting find, for a different reason. It is a familiar image of the Vero Beach Woman's Club, on the National Register of Historic Places, still in existence at 1534 21st Street. However, note the name etched into the photograph, the "Myron E. Hard Memorial Library." It was not previously known as a name for this building. Research found that Professor Myron E. Hard was a retired superintendent of schools in Kirkwood, Missouri and was a naturalist with a specialty in mushrooms. He wrote a 600-page book entitled "Mushrooms, Edible and Otherwise." He became a noted and respected member of the Vero community during the short time he was here. He came to Vero in August of 1914, and died in October 1914. His wife was a founding member of the Woman's Unity Club of Vero, Florida and was instrumental in its formation in 1915. Mrs. Hard provided 300 books to begin the library in memory of her husband Professor Hard. Myron E. Hard Memorial Library c. 1915

This huge cypress stump, used for many years as an attraction at the entrance of McKee Jungle Gardens, was locally grown. Between 1916-1918, it was a common practice at Blue Cypress Lake to kill the surrounding cypress trees by girdling (cutting a band of bark from around the trunk), for later processing. A sawmill on the western shore of the lake cut down this one some time in the early 1940's, and this stump was trucked to McKee for display.

Atletico Madrid
The Fire's summer friendly opponents and Team for the World alliance partners Club America took a further step to their first domestic crown since 2005, defeating Monterrey 2-1 (and 4-3 on aggregate) in leg two of the Liga MX semifinals Saturday night at the Estadio Azteca.
In leg one last Wednesday, Ecuadorian international Christian Benitez continued his exploits from the weekend's 2-1 victory over Pumas UNAM, scoring both goals in the team's 2-2 draw at Monterrey.
That result set the stage for Saturday's match, which saw America take the advantage just after the hour mark. In the 62nd minute, Aguilas midfielder Ruben Sambueza was brought down on the right side of the area by Monterrey defender Leobardo Lopez, forcing referee Jorge Antonio Perez to point to the spot.
A minute later, Aguilas striker Raul Jimenez placed his effort past Jonathan Orozco into the lower left netting to give America a 1-0 lead and 3-2 aggregate advantage.
The home side pretty much iced the series 19 minutes later after a Monterrey giveaway at midfield. Jimenez and Benitez quickly broke out in a give and go before the Ecuadorian was slipped into the box and finished past Ibarra for the 2-0 lead and 4-2 advantage.
The goal was Benitez' fifth in four playoff matches.
Los Rayados pushed late and pulled one back deep into second half stoppage time. Substitute Guillermo Madrigal settled in the box, turned and forced a diving stop out of Moises Munoz before striker Aldo de Nigris finished from close range.
The goal to the aggregate score to 4-3 but the referee blew the whistle soon after, advancing America to the Liga MX Clasura finals against Cruz Azul.
Leg one of the finals will be played at Estadio Azul in Mexico City on Thursday with the return leg at Estadio Azteca on Sunday.

Atletico de Madrid takes Copa del Rey title
Atletico Madrid over came a 25-match winless run against city rivals Real Madrid and a 1-0 deficit to win the Copa del Rey 2-1 in extra time at the Santiago Bernabeu on Friday night.
Real Madrid took the early lead when Cristiano Ronaldo rose above the rest to head home a corner kick in the 14th minute.
Atletico would respond 21 minutes later when Radamel Falcao did yeoman's work at midfield before springing Diego Costa between two Madrid defenders. The Brazilian fired from the top of the penalty area and beating 'keeper Diego Lopez inside the left post.
You could see Real Madrid begin to come undone in the 75th minute when manager Jose Mourinho was sent off for leaving the technical area to argue a play.
Fifteen minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo kicked Atletico defender Juanfran but the offense went unnoticed and the teams went to extra time level at 1-1.
Atletico would find the game-winner off a corner. Koke's take from the right was headed straight back to him but he whipped in another ball which found the head of Brazilian defender MIranda to beat Diego Lopez inside the near post.
The wheels came off for Real Madrid when Ronaldo was sent off following a scuffle at midfield in the 115th minute.
Shortly thereafter the referee blew the whistle, confirming Atletico's 2-1 triumph. The victory gave the club its 10th Copa del Rey title and first since 1996.

Club America
Los Aguilas opened the 2013 Clausura campaign with a 2-1 come-from-behind victory over Monterrey Saturday afternoon in Mexico City. Ecuadorian midfielder Walter Avoyi put the visitors ahead from the penalty spot in the 15th minute before America's Jesus Molina equalized in the 39th.
With the match looking like it would end in a 1-1 draw, America was granted a late penalty kick which Rubens Sambueza converted in the 94th minute to clinch the three points.
The club will hope to continue it's one-hundred percent record when they visit Jaguares this Friday.

Atletico de Madrid
Though Lionel Messi set a very impressive career mark on Sunday, it would be hard to argue anyone on the planet had as good of a weekend as Atletico Madrid's Radamel Falcao who scored five goals in Atleti's 6-0 home win over Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday.
Teammate Diego Costa put Atletico ahead 1-0 in the 23rd minute before Flacao unleashed a fury of goals in the 28th, 42nd, 64th, 68th and 71st minutes as the club eased to victory over the La Liga bottom dwellers.
The goal fest moved Falcao past Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo and into second on the La Liga goal charts with 16, sitting behind only Barcelona's Messi who has 23 goals in the current campaign.
Atletico will shift focus to Copa del Rey play when they welcome Getafe to the Calderon for the first leg of their series on Wednesday.
Sitting six points behind Barcelona at second place in the La Liga table, the club will hope to cut into the lead when they travel to the Nou Camp for a top of the table clash on Sunday.

Besiktas Istanbul
In Turkish Super League play on Friday, Besiktas ran out to a 2-0 lead over Eskisehirspor through Slovakian striker Filip Holosko (sixth minute) and Portuguese forward Hugo Almeida (66th minute).
They often say that in soccer 2-0 is the most dangerous lead though and that proved true as Eskisehirspor pulled two late goals back through a Necate Antes penalty in the 82nd minute before Austrian substitute Atdhe Nuhiu equalized in the 90th.
With the 2-2 draw, Besiktas sit third on 26 points in the Super League heading into Wednesday's Turkish Cup match at Antalyaspor. They return to league play Saturday when they visit ninth place Genclebirligi.

I was all up into the MacOS (pre OS X), and I'd heard that Apple was taking the system to a Unix core. I'd experimented with a few Unix commands at work, but wanted to own the system. That is; to run it as my own, like I had done with Windows and Mac and even the old Amiga I ran for 8 years.
The whole Linux concept was intriguing to me because of the low cost and open community. It was a daunting experience (at first) to actually go and download a Linux distro though. I went to an FTP site and saw all these files sitting there and said to myself Oh boy... What the hell am I gonna do with all this?! Never afraid to bite off more than I could chew, I dove in with (the now defunct) LinuxPPC. Found lots of help at LNO, after trying the various mailing list and such (and having my ass handed back to me many times).
It's been a slow process, but I still won't quit. Linux hasn't left the "hobby" stage for me yet, but I'd like to keep doing more with it all the time. Just built my first all Linux box last year, but because of limited time and space, the system is locked away in storage right now. I hope to have all my systems up and running again before summer though, and have Linux installed on all of them.

On the occasion of the Bulgari Hotel Milano's 10th anniversary, we have completed some discrete but pronounced actions on the elements of interior design throughout the Hotel.
All the rooms have been renovated, freshly coated with cream coloured linen wallpaper, new furniture from Antonio Citterio's Flexform collection, curtains by Enzo degli Angiuoni and carpets by Altai.
The suites have been enriched with collections of books on art and design in B&B module libraries. Sketches of Bulgari jewels have been framed and added to each room and sketches dating back to the 50's of the famous Bulgari 'spille Giardinetto' have been placed in all elevator landings.
Images of celebrities amongst which: Monica Vitti, Sophie Loren and Anita Ekbert originating from Bulgari's archives now frame the lobby. Lastly, the spa will be completely renewed during the month of August, inaugurating in September with a new couples treatment room, a new sauna, an external jacuzzi and a selection of exclusive treatments and products.
Silvio Ursini, Creative Director of Bulgari Hotels announced: "We are very satisfied of how the Milan hotel has matured with time, the design was conceived to remain classic contemporary and it is periodically enriched with new ideas and inspirations, always cured by Antonio Citterio.

DEXTER Coaches vs. Cancer fund-raisers like the White out, girls basketball game between General Brown and Thousand Islands on Friday are becoming a regularity.
But rarely do you see a white out, in the field goal column of Kristin McGraws stat sheet.
The Lions held the Vikings senior to just three points from the foul line, and made 8 of 11 free throws in the fourth quarter to preserve a physical 41-35 victory over the Vikings in a Frontier League crossover game at General Brown High School.
McGraw, the schools all-time leading scorer in boys and girls basketball, entered the game averaging a league-high 19.7 points.
Fridays game matched her lowest scoring output in the last two years; her previous low this season was 12. She was coming off a 34-point performance against Lyme.
That was a good defense that they put on us, Thousand Islands coach Pete Pettit said. We kind of knew it, but we just physically couldnt match up and get her open. Other kids need to step up and score, and it just didnt happen.
General Brown (4-3 overall and league), winner of its second straight game and four of its last five, used junior Katie Pitkin to face guard McGraw and doubled her when she touched the ball.
We were working all week in practice on trying to shut down (McGraw), said Pitkin, who scored a game-high 15 points to go with six rebounds. I had a lot of help from my team on screens, they were there until I could get back and recover.
The Lions came out strong at the start, holding the Vikings to just five first-quarter points.
They led 27-14 at halftime. McGraw and Thousand Islands second-leading scorer, Alesha Waterman, were both held scoreless in the first half and shot a combined 0-for-7 from the field.
The Vikings (7-1, 6-1) slowly chipped away at the lead throughout the second half, and cut it to 38-35 with 40 seconds left.
But General Brown senior Hope VanBrocklin sank a pair of free throws, and Thousand Islands never got it back to a one-score game.
I had thought that overall this year, we havent been playing as well as we should be, General Brown coach Mike Hulbert said. Im very proud of the girls, they came out, they worked hard, and they hung in there down the stretch when things looked like they could go south on us.
The Vikings were unbeaten entering the game, winning by an average of 30 points. Their slimmest margin of victory was 11 points over Copenhagen, which was the only game that they didnt win by at least 25.
Pettit said it was the teams first game this year with that level of intensity and physicality.
Were not used to that, they really let it go, Pettit said. But thats what were going to see come sectional time is physical play. So I think its a win for us as far as learning what we need to work on.
Well definitely take a lot out of this because the kids take this game personal, he added. So hopefully well hit the gym a little madder and make a good run here.
VanBrocklin and freshman Rhea Pitkin scored eight points apiece for General Brown.
Allie Barton and Karly Sherman, both seniors, each scored seven points to lead Thousand Islands. Barton also hauled in 11 rebounds. Waterman was held to four points, matching a season low.
n The game, which was preceded by two junior varsity games and followed by a boys varsity game, served as a fund-raiser for Coaches vs. Cancer.
It was the fourth straight year the two schools have put on the event, alternating the host school each year. They also choose a different color each year to raise awareness for different forms of cancer. Hulbert said white was chosen this year to incorporate all colors and stomp out all kinds of cancer.
It was the first time the Lions beat the Vikings since the series started in 2009.

Mens Soccer Upsets No. 20 Stanford to Start 2014 Season
With the win the Bluejays move to 1-0-0 while the Cardinal fall to 0-1-0 to begin the 2014 season. The victory extended Creighton's unbeaten streak to 6-0-2 in season openers over the last eight years. The Jays are now 11-3-4 versus ranked teams over the past four seasons.
Creighton freshman Ricky Lopez-Espin scored the game winner and his first career goal in the 11th minute on a feed from junior Timo Pitter to give the Bluejays an early 1-0 lead. Lopez-Espin scored his first career goal from the right side beating the Stanford goalkeeper to the left.
In the second half, CU sophomore Fabian Herbers tallied the second goal for the Jays in the 53rd minute on an assist from Lopez-Espin. Herbers received a long touch pass from Lopez-Espin on the left side, on a play started by junior Christian Blandon, and chipped it in over the goalie to yield the final score.
Creighton junior Connor Sparrow posted his first shutout of the season while playing a full 90 minutes in net. CU outshot Stanford 7-6 and tied in corners at 3-3.
The Jays are back in action on Sunday when they host Santa Clara at 7 p.m. CT inside Morrison Stadium.

Karen Smith, Region 6 Coordinator for the Citizen Corps Community Emergency Response Team address the Price City Council at their Feb. 11 meeting. Smith is planning to conduct CERT training for all interested citizens in the two county Castle Valley area.
Emergency response training was brought to the forefront at the Feb. 11 Price City Council meeting as Karen Smith of the Citizen Corps program approached local officials concerning Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training.
Smith reported that the regional citizen core counselor had written a grant for CERT training that would cover all cities in the two county Castle Valley. While training times had not been set at the time of her presentation she did explain that the training was a 20 hour program that would conclude with a mock disaster to give participants some real world feel for surviving a disaster.
The CERT program educated people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization and disaster medical operations.
"Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responder are not immediately available to help," said the program's website at www.citizencorps.gov. "CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community."
According to their site, after a major disaster, first responders who provide fire and medical services will not be able to meet the demand for these services. Factors such as number of victims, communication failures and road blockages can prevent officials from accessing emergency services and vehicles. People have come to expect these types of incidents following 9/11 and are learning to rely on one another for help in order to meet immediate lifesaving needs.
The Community Emergency Response Team concept was developed and implemented by the Los Angeles City Fire Department in 1985. The Whittier Narrows earthquake in 1987 underscored the area-wide threat of a major disaster in California. Further, it confirmed the need for training civilians to meet their immediate needs. As a result, the LAFD created the Disaster Preparedness Division with the purpose of training citizens and government employees.
To start in an area, the site recommends that individual areas:
â¢Identify the program goals that CERT will meet and the resources available to conduct the program in the local area.
Smith commented during the council meeting that she had spoken with Price Fire Chief Paul Bedont and he was ready to assist her in any way necessary, up to and including setting up the mock disaster.
â¢Gain approval from appointed and elected officials to use CERT as a means to prepare citizens to care for themselves during a disaster. This is a step Smith is working toward with city and county governments.
Next, she plans to schedule and conduct the CERT sessions and maintain a refresher and exercise series that will keep the Castle Valley ready and able to help themselves in the event of a disaster.
For more information concerning the program visit the CERT website or contact Smith at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Endoscopic papillary balloon dilation is as effective as sphincterotomy in treating bile duct stone. However, a need to switch to sphincterotomy is noted in about 20% of cases receiving dilation for lithotripsy. It is hypothesized that a longer dilation duration (5 min. vs. 1 min.) can decrease the need of switching to sphincterotomy.

Endoscopic papillary balloon dilatation (EPBD) has been proposed as an alternative to endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) for endoscopic treatment of common bile duct (CBD) stones. EPBD is as effective as EST in stone clearance with a lower risk of hemorrhage, and may preserve the function of sphincter of Oddi. However, it has been reported that about 20% of patients undergoing EPBD need EST as a rescue procedure for lithotripsy. A longer dilation duraton of 5 mintues as opposed to 1 minute has been proposed to decrease oozing after dilation and facilitate lithotripsy, and it is hypothesized that it will reduce the need of switching to EST.

PAWTUCKET – The telling numbers from the high-school baseball summit that transformed McCoy Stadium into a special place Saturday weren't five and three – five being the number of runs Tolman High produced compared to the three scored by the guests of honor – Connecticut's Newtown High.
For scoreboards don't measure things like outpourings of community pride, or the effort to support a worthwhile cause. Success on those counts, rather, was determined when public address announcer Robert Masse let the McCoy crowd know that 916 fans passed through the turnstiles and that a check for $8,500 would be presented to the Sandy Hook School Workers Assistance Fund.
It would have been perfectly acceptable for supporters to wear rally caps on this day, one that began under the cover of threatening clouds and concluded with blue sky. The turnout exceeded just about everyone's expectations and shows what can result when a congregation rooted in kindness and generosity bands together.
"(Pawtucket Red Sox President) Mike Tamburro and I talked during the week. He was thinking about 500 (generous customers), and I said 'I'm aiming for 1,000," said John Scanlon, athletic director at Tolman. "I kidded to him that I was a lot closer than you were.
"The community and the people of Pawtucket truly came out and supported this," Scanlon added while a group of Newtown players were busy nearby taking cell phone pictures of McCoy.
The activity in the stands echoed Scanlon's observation. Support came in many different forms, the most notable in the presence of entire teams. In one section, you had the North Smithfield High contingent. In another section were the varsity baseballers from Cranston West and Wheeler School.
The softball team from St. Raphael Academy elected to take refuge in the red box seats behind the protective netting that guards home plate. Representatives from Pineview Little League also turned out.
Rest assured that their presence did not go unnoticed by those who were on the field.
"We were involved in the Division II championship in 2005 and this crowd today was bigger than we had for [decisive] Game 3," said Tolman head coach Theo Murray, referencing the program's title-clincher against Portsmouth. "That was awesome, just totally awesome."
Plenty of familiar localites dotted the crowd, among them longtime St. Raphael basketball and baseball coach Tom "Saar" Sorrentine and Mount St. Charles baseball mentor Tom Seaver. Pawtucket Mayor Donald R. Grebien made the rounds after presenting keys to the city to Tolman's Murray and his counterpart from Newtown, Matt Memoli.
What caught the fancy of Tolman's Chris Baldwin was looking up at the faces and seeing those in which the senior catcher made a connection during a recent "Reading Week" visit to Potter-Burns Elementary School.
"A kid came up to myself and Jason (Maynard, Tolman center fielder) and talked to us, saying that it was the coolest thing to see us out there," Baldwin shared. "We told the teachers and students that we had a big baseball game against Newtown coming up and to come out and support it."
Judging by the attendance and the money raised, the pledge for unity and human kindness did not go unheeded.
In Tamburro's eyes, the day was already a success the moment the Newtown players and coaches stepped off the bus at 9:30 a.m., their journey starting at 7 o'clock sharp.
"I saw people who were excited and so appreciative," relayed Tamburro. "They all came over and introduced themselves and told us how excited they were to be here."
If mind-numbing events such as the tragedies that marred Sandy Hook Elementary School in December and last Monday's Boston Marathon leave you feeling unsure, the tireless efforts and commitment on the part of Tolman and the PawSox helped provide a strong dose of reassurance.
"Something like this fulfills a need to do something, and allows us as a community to give back," stated Tamburro as he took a long, fond look at the action taking place.

Tommy DeeThis is a great sign, obviously. There's been a lot of chatter about how the Knicks have handled injuries so this should ease some doubt.

Its the early 1980s—the country is in a deep recession, and life after college is harder than ever. In the cafés on College Hill, the wised-up kids are inhaling Derrida and listening to Talking Heads. But Madeleine Hanna, dutiful English major, is writing her senior thesis on Jane Austen and George Eliot, purveyors of the marriage plot that lies at the heart of the greatest English novels.
As Madeleine tries to understand why "it became laughable to read writers like Cheever and Updike, who wrote about the suburbia Madeleine and most of her friends had grown up in, in favor of reading the Marquis de Sade, who wrote about deflowering virgins in eighteenth-century France," real life, in the form of two very different guys, intervenes. Leonard Bankhead—charismatic loner, college Darwinist, and lost Portland boy—suddenly turns up in a semiotics seminar, and soon Madeleine finds herself in a highly charged erotic and intellectual relationship with him. At the same time, her old "friend" Mitchell Grammaticus—whos been reading Christian mysticism and generally acting strange—resurfaces, obsessed with the idea that Madeleine is destined to be his mate.
Over the next year, as the members of the triangle in this amazing, spellbinding novel graduate from college and enter the real world, events force them to reevaluate everything they learned in school. Leonard and Madeleine move to a biology Laboratory on Cape Cod, but cant escape the secret responsible for Leonards seemingly inexhaustible energy and plunging moods. And Mitchell, traveling around the world to get Madeleine out of his mind, finds himself face-to-face with ultimate questions about the meaning of life, the existence of God, and the true nature of love.
Are the great love stories of the nineteenth century dead? Or can there be a new story, written for today and alive to the realities of feminism, sexual freedom, prenups, and divorce? With devastating wit and an abiding understanding of and affection for his characters, Jeffrey Eugenides revives the motivating energies of the Novel, while creating a story so contemporary and fresh that it reads like the intimate journal of our own lives.
"In Eugenides's perceptive new novel set in the early 1980s, the three sides of a love triangle — Brown University undergraduates Madeleine, Leonard, and Mitchell — come of age in a complicated and heady environment of semiotics, religious mysticism, sexual freedom, and economic recession. After graduation, the three are forced to confront their relationships, secrets, and desires as they attempt to find their way in the real world. David Pittu brilliantly narrates this audio version of Eugenides's complex novel, whether he's rattling off quotes from Jacques Derrida and Roland Barthes or creating unique voices for the book's many characters. Among the standouts are his renditions of the slow and reflective Mitchell and Thurston, the star of the semiotics seminar who speaks in a falsely laconic and disinterested fashion to impress his classmates and professor. And while Pittu's rendition of Madeline is too soft and flat, he never runs out of voices for this large, global cast. The result is one of the best audiobooks of the year. A Farrar, Straus and Giroux hardcover." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

BEIJING (Caixin Online) — Two powerful forces have driven China's growth in the past decade. A favorable demographic trend has cut China's dependency ratio to one of the lowest in modern history.
China's baby boomers were born between 1950 and 1975. The one-child policy of the past three decades has amplified the natural demographic trend, making today's dependency ratio — which the World Bank defines as the ratio of dependents (people younger than 15 or older than 64) to the working-age population — unusually low.
Also, the labor participation rate of China's women is similar to men's. It is partly due to low household wealth. That force may be reversing too. From now onward the dependency ratio is likely to rise. The demographic tailwind is turning into a headwind.
After China joined the World Trade Organization a decade ago, multinational companies shifted production to China from Europe, Japan and the United States.
Caixin is a Beijing-based media group dedicated to providing high-quality and authoritative financial and business news and information through periodicals, online and TV/video programs.
• Get the Caixin e-newsletter
The redistribution of manufacturing capacity triggered a surge in China's share of global trade. This tailwind is responsible for the rapid growth in bank deposits and money supply. The fixed exchange rate amplified the impact of trade boom on money supply.
The debt crises in the West signal the end of China's trade boom. When their factories moved to China, these countries resorted to debt to sustain their living standards. As long as the market was willing to go along, the debt-driven consumption continued, which in turn fed China's export boom. As the debt bubbles burst, so did spending power. This is why China's export boom is over.
The good, the bad, the ugly
A favorable demographic trend doesn't automatically turn into economic growth. Most Latin American countries missed the opportunity. India could do the same.
East Asian economies like Japan, South Korea and Taiwan experienced similar forces before and successfully seized the opportunity. China has followed the East Asian model and experienced similar successes as well as similar problems.
Whenever money is plentiful, wasteful spending is inevitable. In the 1920s, U.S. businesses over-invested in new technologies and this led to massive overcapacity, which precipitated the Great Depression. In the 1980s Japanese businesses over-invested too and paid too much for trophy assets abroad. Its economy has stagnated for two decades. China has done the same. Over-capacity is everywhere. The overall overcapacity could be one-third, much greater than either in the United States at the end of the 1920s or in Japan in 1992.
The WTO and demographic tailwinds meant strong monetary growth. China used part of the money to build up a supporting infrastructure for manufacturing successes. Transportation, energy and telecom systems have become highly developed.
Multinational companies can operate in China as in developed economies while enjoying low labor costs. The competence in building infrastructure made it possible for the economy to benefit from joining the WTO and its favorable demographic trend.
Exports rose by 20% per annum in the decade after joining the WTO, which catapulted the country to the No. 1 spot in global trade.
Whenever money is plentiful, wasteful spending is inevitable. In the 1920s, U.S. businesses over-invested in new technologies and this led to massive overcapacity, which precipitated the Great Depression. In the 1980s Japanese businesses over-invested too and paid too much for trophy assets abroad. Its economy has stagnated for two decades.
China has done the same. Over-capacity is everywhere. The overall overcapacity could be one-third, much greater than either in the United States at the end of the 1920s or in Japan in 1992.
Easy money usually leads to speculation, asset bubbles, and corruption or rent-seeking. China's stock market rose five times between 2005 and 2007. The land price rose over thirty times in the boom decade. In some cities, it went up 100 times. The asset bubbles amplified the feeling that money was easy to come by, which decreased resistance to wasteful investment or rent-seeking activities.
Like in the United States and Japan before, the bubbles functioned partly to subsidize investment.
For example, China's stock market has declined in the past decade even though the nominal gross domestic product rose four times. Japan's stock market is as low as three decades ago. After the 1929 crash, the U.S. stock market didn't reclaim its peak for two decades.
China's most read WSJ stories in 2012
The euro-zone crisis and the U.S. elections were among the less popular stories in China this year.
China's fixed investment has been close to half of GDP for many years, much higher than Japan's or the United States' during their peak years. It suggests that China's challenges would be as severe as what the United States faced in the 1930s or Japan in the past two decades.
The turning point
The East Asian development model is investment and export-led. The investment boom is made possible by the export boom because over-investment requires excess liquidity from exports. Hence, if the export boom ends, the investment boom is certainly ending. The limiting condition is the exchange rate.
During the boom, the fixed exchange rate turned the export boom into a monetary boom. It does the same on the way down. If the domestic political system insists on pushing investment despite export stagnation, it would lead to a currency collapse. This occurred to South Korea and Thailand in 1997.
Southeast Asia, South Korea and Taiwan lost their export booms because China became more competitive. China's export boom is ending because its customers face bankruptcy. This is a unique situation because China is so big relative to the world.
In terms of per capita income or exports per person, China's levels are less than half of the levels when South Korea and Taiwan faced a similar challenge.
China's exports rose twice as fast as global trade and four times the global economy in the past decade. The chances are that exports would rise less than 10% in the coming decade. That would require China to scale back investment to below 30% of GDP.
The most important part of the turning point is land prices going into a down channel. While many cite statistics and anecdotes to support the property bubble continuing, the facts on the ground are that it is deflating.
In some cities, the property market has collapsed. In most cities the prices have dropped significantly. Unlike the stock market, the property market takes time to adjust, possibly five to six years; 2012 is the first year. When it's all over, the price of land could drop by 80% in many cities and property prices by half.
The long-term future of China's property market is extremely dire. In addition to a price bubble, China has an unprecedented quantity bubble. Further, the demographic burst is less than ten years away. All these factors point to a property burst as big as in Japan or Taiwan.
Paying for the past
Waste and bubbles are inevitable during an economic boom. When it's over, paying for the past mistakes can be quite complicated. In particular, asset quality in the banking system deteriorates sharply after a boom. Because banking asset quality could be hidden, the problem may be covered up for many years.

Dream, Inc.: Awakening from the American Dream
Thursday January 31
625 NW Everett St., No. 106
625 NW Everett St., No. 106
Munich-born artist and writer Richard Schemmerer takes on the American Dream in Dream, Inc., an exhibition of paintings, sculpture, and mixed-media work. In addition to a suite of abstract paintings, Schemmerer offers a series depicting enigmatic faces, which confront the viewer with a kind of unsettling mirror. The exhibition's most compelling work is a sculpture entitled Wings of Desire, made from wrought iron, a metal spring, driftwood and red feathers. With intimations of the Icarus legend, the piece seems to portray a nation that has risen from its folksy, pioneer past (symbolized by the gnarled wood) and industrial might (the metalwork), only to flame out in a wash of decadence (the red wings): a cheap feather boa where a bald eagle once soared. Closes Feb. 2.

This September, San Francisco Waldorf School is happy to welcome more former students back as parents. Tzaddi Smith Thompson, parent of kindergartener Dominic in K2, was a member of our first grade school class. She is currently a labor lawyer at Nixon Peabody. Tzaddi and her husband David Thompson also have a younger daughter Mieke.Tzaddi joined her class (SFWGS '88) in first grade, when the school was made up of only two classes - kindergarten and first grade.
Tzaddi remembers her class teacher, Jeff Kofsky as "wonderful, caring, and intuitive," as well as academically strong. Throughout her grade school years, Tzaddi watched the grade school grow from its modest beginnings into a thriving and well developed school and community. While Tzaddi vividly recalls a number of Main Lesson blocks from her time here, what stands out the most is the strong sense of community that she felt and continues to feel with her class and the school.
In the middle of seventh grade, Tzaddi's family moved to Montana where she finished her secondary schooling. She studied government at Wesleyan, worked briefly as a paralegal in DC after graduating from college, and then moved back to San Francisco to work in for-profit education before attending law school at UC Berkeley. She chose to specialize in labor law because it addresses, among other things, human interaction and relations.
When looking at how she wanted to educate her son, two things were central to making her decision. The first was the sense of community that she feels at SFWS. She knows that for her son, school will be a "home away from home." Tzaddi also appreciates the shared values of the community, particularly around media usage, and the ritual and seasonality that bring a sense of the year into the community.
The other important thing for Tzaddi is that she wants her son to develop a love of learning. She recalls her experience her at SFWS to be filled with a beautiful sense of what learning can be. Rather than being grade focused, she remembers "history being told as a story, creatively. It was never something that seemed like a duty." As she continued her education, good grades came as a matter of course "because I love learning rather than the other way around… Good elementary school education is important for long-term success and I think Waldorf provides that." As for what Dominic thinks about being in kindergarten? He is loving it and says that the digging in the yard is good.

This writeup is just a highlight with some observations from Zach Britton's start yesterday. This is not a report because you need to see a few appearances before hitting a mark on how he might address himself in the future.
The overall performance from the box score was a bit less than stellar, but he is finally healthy and making his mark again with the parent club. If I dig a bit deeper, I see a few things that I feel would be useful in making him a consistent starter with the Orioles.

Geocaching with the Gecko (and 5 million others)
By Nathan Erb on August 18, 2011 at 7:38 AM
Until a few weeks ago, I'd never heard of geocaching. Someone mentioned in a meeting that GEICO was doing a "Find the Gecko" geocaching promotion, and the idea was met with confused stares. Somehow I had never met one of the 5 million people worldwide who already participate. After a little research, I ended up […]
