Discovering a Spiritual Practice through Walking Meditation
Dates: Thursdays (beginning 1/22)
Time: 12 pm
Location: Meet in the Ellison Campus Center
Description: College Life, while exciting and inspiring, can also become stressful. Trying to balance friendships, family relationships, and school work is not easy. Juggling work, family and community obligations can also be draining for employees. While the energy on campus is primarily focused on educating the mind, it is important to tend to our spiritual health as well. Learning a spiritual practice can help create a balanced perspective and restore confidence. There are many ways to discover or reconnect with a spiritual life. This project integrates three pathways: walking, building spiritual companionship, and meditation. With new instructions each week, participation will be open and everyone who comes will be welcome.
What to expect:
- A spiritual practice will be introduced during the first 10 minutes of gathering.
- We will agree on a simple phrase/prayer/mantra for centering and conversation.
- A 45 minute walk will take place with opportunities to be silent or reflect with a spiritual companion.
- A blessing will conclude our time together.
Each week's walk will engage the multi-dimensional aspects of being human by incorporating silence, physical activity, and reflective conversation. Bodies, minds, hearts and souls will be challenged with reflections from the following books:
"Peace is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life" by Thich Nhat Hanh
"Living Beautifully" by Pema Chodrin
"The Gifts of Imperfection" by Brene Brown

Take a Gettysburg Getaway to this Historic Hotel
James Gettys Hotel • Gettysburg, PA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Suite
- One Fruit, Cheese, and Chocolate Plate
- Two Movie Tickets to the Majestic Theater
- One Commemorative Corkscrew from Your Tasting at Adams County Winery
After a day of touring the battlefield, sampling local wines, and catching a film, retreat to these spacious suites.
The Destination
151 years ago, Gettysburg echoed with cannon fire and the words of Abraham Lincoln's most famous speech. Today, this patch of southern Pennsylvania is much quieter. In the hills outside town, hundreds of monuments—many of them beautiful works of art—stand as silent testament to the momentous battle fought here. In town, college students and visitors navigate historic streets lined by restaurants, cafés, and museums. Beyond the town and the battlefield, the surrounding orchards and farms look much the way they did before the Civil War.
The Digs
The James Gettys Hotel is located in the historic downtown, just a half block from The David Wills House, where President Lincoln stayed while he put the finishing touches on the Gettysburg Address. This boutique hotel, first opened in 1804, offers 12 tastefully appointed suites, each with a sitting area, kitchenette, bedroom, and private bath. During a nightly turn-down service, a homemade continental breakfast basket will be delivered to your suite for the next morning. Other amenities include fresh-ground coffee, imported British teas, free off-street parking, and complimentary Wi-Fi.
The Diversions
Visit. Gettysburg National Military Park
Taste. Adams County Winery
Watch. Majestic Theater
Shop. Lord Nelson's Gallery
Dine. Blue Parrot Bistro

The characters are charmers, and some are a bit bossy. They have their hands full with their own problems but are willing to help others despite their heavy burdens. Camden has been compared to Tracie Peterson and Julie Lessman; she knows what readers of historical novels expect and she does not disappoint with this latest offering.
Libby Sawyer is completely stunned when she and her father return from their summer lodgings to find a Romanian family living in their home and they learn they do not have a legal right to the house. Libby and her father hire a lawyer to let the court decide who has the right to the house. Michael Dobrescu has come to claim the property that had been given to his father, and also to keep his sister safe from further harm. He is attracted to Libby, but wants to keep his distance. The last thing he wants is to fall in love and wind up getting hurt again. Libby has a secret she guards with her very soul and is concerned that if Michael finds out, he will not allow her to be around his children or his sister, and she adores this family, despite their legal battle.

Even though I am not a fan of of butternut squash, I'd not consider it rude.
I don't think it is rude ...
But for some reason, I've a desire to create a limerick.
Many thanks for all your Great Replies !! Even a Poem ! I will support this part of the site more -- although I support the 'Groups; I never get any replies ! Peter PS it's SUNNY here at LAST !
There is quite a lot of work called "Rude Food" or "Rude Fruit". It has become a category of it's own. Butternut squash has been used a lot. It is all done in humor. There is even at least one book out on such images. When someone said your photo was a bit rude he probably was referencing the cliche of rude food. Of course the orange pepper is perfectly placed to look like testicles to the erect penis squash. The red pepper I guess is red hair? Is it offensive? Probably to someone. It would seem more a joke to most. Is it rude? Yes in that it fits in that whole group of rude food photos. Maybe APUG should make a special gallery for rude food photos so we can all have fun with it. Maybe an APUG group should be created for lovers of rude food.
Dennis : What a good idea !! You can EAT the 'Sitters; afterwards too -- these made a nice SOUP !

The Afghanistan Infrastructure Trust Fund is managed by the ADB and is helping to build and run infrastructure to promote security and drive development. The governments of the United Kingdom, the United States and Japan are providing an additional $286 million to the fund.
VO: Years of conflict and war has left this land-locked Central Asian country the poorest nation in Asia and the Pacific.
Afghanistan – a fragile state – is now struggling to improve its infrastructure, institutions, governance and security.
The Asian Development Bank plays a key role in helping the country get back on its feet by providing electricity, setting up a telecommunications systems and linking the country to the region through railways and roads.
Among the ADB flagship projects in Afghanistan is the construction of the 75 kilometer railway line between Mazar-e-Sharif and the Uzbekistan border.
Other major ADB projects in Afghanistan include power transmission lines from Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, and the last section of the 233 kilometer ring-road from Qaisar to Leman.
SOT: In the past the unpaved road brought problems such as pollution. But now with the presence of a road, we have overcome those problems.
VO: Building all these facilities has left a huge impact on the lives of the Afghan people, who now see a glimmer of hope after decades of turmoil.
SOT: Ahmed Wali Shairzay, Deputy Energy Minister
The entire basis for economic and social development depends on electricity. The amount of time it took to bring this power to Kabul in the absence of anything that was there before is a miracle and we are really greatly thankful.
VO: In order to implement these projects, it's important to harmonize aid coming from the various agencies assisting Afghanistan.
ADB manages the Afghanistan Infrastructure Trust Fund, or AITF, which pools donor resources to co-finance and complement ADB projects.
SOT: Joji Tokeshi, Country Director, Afghanistan Resident Mission, ADB
The AITF is a co-financing mechanism through which we are helping the co-financing of infrastructure projects that ADB has in its pipeline and this is a good mechanism through which most development partners that are interested in providing funding for the infrastructure projects can do in a confident manner.
VO: Right now, ADB envisions bringing energy to the south of Afghanistan – an area that remains undeveloped.
But so far through the AITF, ADB has managed to fund important projects that bring hope and progress to a country that is slowly emerging from its troubled past.

Open Culture has a re-vamped trailer for a film adaptation of Alejandro Jodorowsky and Moebius' comic The Incal. One that never happened. "[Incal's] success made it a logical candidate for film adaptation, and so director Pascal Blais brought together artists from Heavy Metal magazine (in which Mœbius first published some of his best known work) to make it happen. It resulted in nothing more than a trailer, but what a trailer; you can watch a recently revamped edition of the one Blais and his collaborators put together in the 1980s at the top of the post."

November 19, 2011
Quick hitter: Cats survive, 28-13
Louie Vaccher
Talk about it in The Main Board
Here is the two-minute drill to summarize the action:
Story of the game: Northwestern scored on its first three possessions of the first quarter and then didn't get on the scoreboard again until the fourth. The Gophers dominated much of the final three quarters but only had six points to show for it as their receivers dropped a couple potential big passes and they turned the ball over twice when threatening to score in the third quarter.
Game ball: Brian Peters recorded two huge third-quarter turnovers to help the Wildcats survive. With Northwestern clinging to a 21-10 third-quarter lead, Peters hit Minnesota running back Duane Bennett to force a fumble and then recovered it at the NU 25. Then, at the end of the quarter, with the score still 21-10 and with Minnesota driving at the NU 9, he intercepted a MarQueis Gray pass in the end zone that had been tipped by Ibraheim Campbell.
Turning point: Minnesota never got closer than 11 points, but Northwestern didn't put the game away until Jacob Schmidt scored on a 1-yard run with 11:04 left in the fourth . That capped a 15-play, 80-yard Wildcat drive that began when Peters got his pick in the end zone.
Big play: Northwestern, leading 14-7, faced a fourth-and-7 at the Minnesota 28 in the first quarter. A stiff breeze blowing in their faces would have made a field goal highly unlikely, so coach Pat Fitzgerald opted to go for it, and Dan Persa hit a wide open Demetrius Fields in the corner of the end zone to push the Wildcats' lead to 21-10.
Telling numbers: Minnesota won the battles for total yards (393-368) and time of possession (31:34 to 28:26). In the third quarter, the Gophers outgained Northwestern 147 to 22 but didn't notch a point as Peters' two turnovers killed their drives.
Surprise(s) of the day:Remember Adonis Smith? Most thought that the sophomore running back had taken up permanent residence in Fitzgerald's doghouse. Until today, that is. He finished with 10 carries for 31 yards, his most action of the season.
Topic of conversation: With the win, Northwestern is bowl eligible for the school-record fifth consecutive season and will play in a bowl for a school-record fourth straight year. With nine Big Ten teams already bowl-eligible, there are still too many variables to figure out the most likely destination.
Getting defensive: Northwestern's defense looked more like the one that was routinely shredded for big plays in October than the one that turned in two consecutive impressive performances in wins over Nebraska and Rice in November. The Gophers rushed for 269 yards on 51 carries, as Gray finished with 147 yards and Bennett 127.

Africa Needs Right Balance between Policy-Making and Science-Led Solutions
BYLINE: David Dickson
Should scientists be on top, or on tap? Those who support the idea that scientists should be "on top" argue that scientists themselves should determine research priorities.
Others argue that researchers involved in publicly-funded science should see themselves as servants of the state. Under this model, the task of scientists is to find the most effective way of meeting priorities set by the political system. As some have put it, "science is too important to be left to scientists".
The optimal solution may lie somewhere between the two. The creative spirit at the heart of scientific enterprise requires a certain degree of autonomy to flourish. But if this spirit is not harnessed to the goals and values of the society that supports it, such support is likely to evaporate.
The challenge is to define processes that balance "science push" and "demand pull". This is one of the tasks that will face the continent's political leaders when they meet at the next summit of the African Union, due to be held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in January.
Last month, a preparatory meeting in Alexandria in Egypt sought to bring together scientists and policymakers to map a way forward. And over the past two months, contributors to an online discussion group organised by the Science and Development Network website have highlighted some of the topics that need debating. These include the need for knowledge management, Africa-centric solutions, information flow and a model law on biotechnology.
Each of these issues is important, and each requires input from scientists and policymakers.
The scientific community is best placed to define the responses to maximise the production of useful knowledge. And the political community can determine whether these responses are compatible with broader social priorities.
Both communities are developing their perspectives on the science and technology policy issues facing Africa. On the political front, much of this is focused through the activities of the New Partnership for Africa's Development.
Other policy developments are taking place in other institutions, such as the African Development Bank. And this comes on top of the growing interest in science and technology in the finance and economics departments of African states, which see this as a way of joining the global knowledge economy.
Also, there has been growing awareness in the scientific community of the need to get its act together to make the most of new funding opportunities. …

Mean Reversion and Consumption Smoothing
Fischer Black
NBER Working Paper No. 2946
Using a simple conventional model with additive separable utility and constant elasticity, we can explain mean reversion and consumption smoothing. The model uses the price of risk and wealth as state variables, but has only one stochastic variable. The price of risk rises temporarily as wealth falls. We also distinguish between risk aversion and the consumption elasticity of marginal utility. We can use the model to match estimates of the average values of consumption volatility, wealth volatility, mean reversion, the growth rate of consumption, the real interest rate, and the market risk premium.

US politicians are lackeys of Israeli regime: Analyst
I think the reality shows just as we saw with vise president Biden's speech to AIPAC earlier today that the Israel lobby still wield tremendous amount of influence and US politicians all the way in to the White House have to show their loyalty to the Israel lobby and show that they do take orders whether from AIPAC or from powers beyond them.'An analyst tells Press TV that US policy is fully controlled by the Israeli lobby, with US politicians acting as Israel's lapdogs, follow AIPAC's orders. The comment comes as Israeli Minister for Military Affairs Ehud Barak thanked US President Barack Obama and former American Defense Secretary Leon Panetta for their "resolute backing of Israel", during a speech at the opening of the annual conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in Washington on Sunday. AIPAC is the one of the most powerful lobbies in the United States. It works to influence US foreign and domestic policy for the interest of Israel. Press TV has conducted an interview in its "the debate" program with Eric Draister, the founder of stopimperialism.com, from New York to further discuss the issue. Draister is joined by Richard Hellman, president of the Middle East research center, from Washington. The following is a rough transcription of the interview. Press TV : Our guest there, Mr. Hellman saying that he does not believe AIPAC actually has that kind of control on US policy. Right now, we know a lot being said about whether the recent spending cuts is going to affect the aid that US is giving Israel. Do you think if we see this aid continuing , that we can conclude that actually there is some type of control on US policy or not? Draitsr : Well, I think the question of control versus extreme influence is somewhat superficial. Whether they wield a tremendous amount of influence, whether they have direct control, I think is a matter of debate. What I think is not debatable is the fact that AIPAC as an extension of Israel is an intergrown part of US foreign policy. It provides the pretext, the necessary pretext that the United States needs to continue to prop up Israel and essentially use Israel as a client state against Iran and against any other enemies in the region. I want to respond to previous guest in Washington just said regarding Iran and the United States. It is the United States not Iran that is the militarist nation in this equation. Iran does not have seven simultaneous wars going at the moment. Iran is not bombing with drones all over the world. Iran has not engaged in a war that it started for centuries. So to suggest that Iran is the militarist nation, I think is completely ludicrous. But I think the question of the AIPAC lobby is an important one. People are trying to spin this as if AIPAC is somehow declining in their significance. Well, I think the reality shows just as we saw with vise president Biden's speech to AIPAC earlier today that the Israel lobby still wields tremendous amount of influence and US politicians all the way in to the White House have to show their loyalty to the Israel lobby and show that they do take orders whether from AIPAC or from powers beyond them. Press TV : Speaking of course about the nuclear issue on Iran, Eric Draitser, we know that recently we had the P5+1 talks with around the US was also involved in those talks. A lot of people analyzing the situation and saying that there is now a lot of... Mr. Draitser the thing is a lot of people are saying that Israel is having a lot of influence on how these talks are preceding; I mean Iran had been saying these talks are positive, but at the same time Ehud Barak was casting doubt that as to how successful these talks are going to be? So do you think that there is a lot of Israeli pressure influencing these talks on the nuclear issue for one for instance to be resolved? Draitser : I do not know about the Israeli power really influencing the substance of the talk. I think what the Israelis are doing is engaging in mission of subversion. They want to subvert these negotiations, because the last thing that Israel wants is any kind of a political solution vis-à-vis Iran. Israel for its own geo-political reasons needs to see Iran destroyed.
They need to see Iran destroyed in order to exert their own hegemony in the region. The Israeli understand very clearly. They are certainly not ignorant of the fact that if Iran is taken out of the equation, there is very little in the way of Israel expanding in to southern Lebanon, destroying Hezbollah, taking land [of] the east of the current state of Israel and south of Israel as well.So this fits into a broader geo-political context and the question of these negotiations is really a question of whether or not there will be a political solution or if the Israelis get their way in military one. Press TV : Which argument would you go for here..., would you say that here as the Noam Chomsky argument goes, that it is basically the US following its own agenda through Israel or it is what they have called a Zionist occupied government in America? Draitser : Well, I will respond to that, but let me first just address what the gentleman in Washington said a minute ago. I think that he made a very important point. I do not know whether he intended to or not, but he said quite clearly and I agree with him that the negotiations are not about the nuclear program at all. It has nothing to do with the nuclear program that it is a purely political and geo-political gambit by the United States and Israel, insane that it is not about the nuclear program. I think that is a pretty outright admission of that fact.
As to the second question, I think both extremes in this dichotomy are probably illusory. I think that it somewhere in the middle the Israelis use the United States and have the United States do their bidding when it serves their interests. Conversely, the United States uses Israel when it serves its interest. I think that this is a symbiotic relationship both countries being part of a transnational imperial system. It is empire; Israel is a part of it, it is a foothold in that region. The United States is a part of it, Perhaps the dominant part of it but it is still a part of the system.So when analyzing these questions, we need to examine them from a systemic level. Press TV: Would you also say the heart of the American people really feels for Israel and they view Israel as a special case where should be treated as a special case by the US as well? Draitser : The American people have demonstrated time and time again that they are ethical people and most importantly they are very very propagandized people. The droning talking points from all main stream media outlets, be there right wing or left wing, FOX News or MSM, MBC or anything in between frames the discussion about Israel, about tactics, about strategy and never questions the issues of morality , of human rights or of international law. So the discussion of Israel in the United States and the popular sentiments about Israel are entirely skewed. I think that it is certainly a deliberate distortion to say that the heart of the American people is about Israel. The heart of the American people is about America and it is about doing what is right for America. The reality is the real heart of the American people is sick and tired of war; whether they are US-initiated wars, Israeli-initiated wars or anybody else's wars, we are tired of those wars and we are tired of empire, imperialism and death. Press TV : Mr. Draitser, a lot of people are saying Obama is facing very difficult dilemma now when it comes to Israel, if it is accused of inaction, it is not going to work , if it supports Israel's illegal behaviors still going to be isolated. What is the fact now when it comes to US and Israel, especially on Palestine? Draitser : Well, I think it is quite clear. The Obama administration demonstrated where their priorities and feelings lie when the Israelis committed their aggression against Gaza. The United States government was silent all throughout the war. The United States government and Obama himself, along with all of those underneath him continue to legitimize and support Israel in that war. So I think that more than anything else the tale is in the details, rather maybe perhaps the devil is in the details, when you look at the innocent Palestinian children and mothers and fathers who are killed in that blatant and naked aggression and the United States standing by, not condemning it, let alone getting involved in it. This demonstrates what the priorities are. The Obama administration is no different than the previous administration, only superficially. MM/MA

Against the Egyptian Alliance
1Ah! Those who go down to Egypt for help,
who rely on horses;
Who put their trust in chariots because of their number,
and in horsemen because of their combined power,
But look not to the Holy One of Israel
nor seek the Lord!#Seek the LORD: a technical expression for seeking a prophetic or priestly oracle, similar to the expression "asking my counsel" in 30:2. The prophet complains that Judah has decided on its policy of alliance with Egypt without first consulting the Lord. #a. [31:1] Is 5:12, 24; 18:2; 22:11; 29:15; 30:2; 36:6.
2Yet he too is wise and will bring disaster;
he will not turn from his threats.
He will rise up against the house of the wicked
and against those who help evildoers.#b. [31:2] Is 28:21.
3The Egyptians are human beings, not God,
their horses flesh, not spirit;
When the Lord stretches forth his hand,
the helper shall stumble, the one helped shall fall,
and both of them shall perish together.#c. [31:3] Ps 146:3–5.
4For thus says the Lord to me:
As a lion or its young
growling over the prey,
With a band of shepherds
assembled against it,
Is neither dismayed by their shouts
nor cowed by their noise,
So shall the Lord of hosts come down
to wage war upon Mount Zion, upon its height.#d. [31:4] Hos 5:14; Am 1:2; 3:8, 12.
5Like hovering birds, so the Lord of hosts
shall shield Jerusalem,
To shield and deliver,
to spare and rescue.#e. [31:5] Is 37:35; Dt 32:11; Ps 91:4.
6Return, O Israelites, to him whom you have utterly deserted.#f. [31:6] Is 1:2–4; Jer 3:12. 7On that day each one of you shall reject his idols of silver and gold, which your hands have made.#g. [31:7] Is 2:20; 30:22.
8Assyria shall fall by a sword, not wielded by human being,
no mortal sword shall devour him;
He shall flee before the sword,
and his young men shall be impressed as laborers.#h. [31:8] Is 27:1; 34:5–6; 37:36.
9He shall rush past his crag#Crag: the king as the rallying point of the princes. Panic: terror is an element of Israel's holy war tradition, in which defeat of the enemy is accomplished by the Lord rather than by human means (cf. v. 8). in panic,
and his princes desert the standard in terror,
Says the Lord who has a fire in Zion
and a furnace in Jerusalem.#i. [31:9] Is 30:17, 33.

Previous Story:
A video posted to Facebook of a dog on a chain in Campbell County went viral on Facebook this morning, catching the attention of thousands of viewers who quickly called for action.
CAMPBELL CO., Tenn. (WVLT)-- A dog captured in a viral video yesterday looks entirely different today after a bath and a haircut.
Friends of Campbell County, Tennessee Animals says on their Facebook page that the dog was also spayed and vaccinated.
The director of the Campbell County Animal Shelter says the dog was returned to her owner after it was determined she was not abused.
He says the dog had food, water and shelter and was not injured; her hair was matted and she was in need of a haircut the owner could not afford.
The Campbell County Animal Shelter says they did not log the dog into the system and did not have input regarding the care of the dog.

Carney Proving Favored Banker in Sterling's Revival: Currencies
Bank of England Governor Mark Carney is proving adept at winning the confidence of currency traders.
Since he took over as the U.K.'s top central banker in July, the pound has appreciated 8 percent against a basket of nine developed-market peers tracked by Bloomberg. When Carney headed the Bank of Canada from February 2008 to last June, that nation's currency held its value even during the worst crisis to grip the global financial system since the Great Depression.
Britain's economy is improving so fast that futures prices show traders are bringing forward bets on when the central bank will raise interest rates, even as Carney tries to damp speculation of higher borrowing costs. The pound's performance marks a reversal from when Mervyn King ran the BOE in the decade before Carney's arrival, a period when sterling depreciated about 24 percent.
"The U.K. has done surprisingly well in terms of economic performance and we're bullish on the pound," Derek Halpenny, the European head of global markets research at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd. in London, said in a Feb. 13 phone interview. "The U.K. will be the first country in the developed market to raise rates."
Fastest Growth
The BOE predicts gross domestic product will expand 3.4 percent this year, which would make the U.K. the fastest-growing economy in the developed world, based on analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. At 7.1 percent, the jobless rate is approaching the 7 percent threshold that policy makers have said would be the point at which they'd consider raising the official bank rate from 0.5 percent.
While Carney said last week that the BOE recast its so-called forward guidance and would use a variety of metrics to determine monetary policy, not just unemployment, traders still placed record bets on a rate increase. Higher borrowing costs tend to boost a currency because they attract international investment.
"The new form of forward guidance was weaker than we'd anticipated, thereby providing less of a constraint to further sterling strength," Mark Astley, the director of foreign-exchange strategy at Credit Suisse Group AG in London, said in a phone interview on Feb. 14. "The U.K. is shifting to a high-confidence, high-growth dynamic."
Short Sterling
The total traded volume in short-sterling futures climbed to a record 2.01 million contracts on Feb. 12, according to IntercontinentalExchange Group Inc. Implied yields on the March 2015 contract surged 13 basis points, or 0.13 percentage point, that day to 1 percent, the biggest jump since June. The BOE's first rate increase will probably come in the first quarter of 2015, according to a Bloomberg survey of 25 economists, which gives the most recent forecasts the heaviest weighting.
"We see an argument for stronger growth and potential for the bank moving rates higher at the beginning of next year," Roger Hallam, the London-based chief investment officer for currencies at JPMorgan Asset Management, which has $1.6 trillion in assets, said in an interview.
The pound climbed to as high as $1.6823 today, the strongest level since November 2009, after appreciating 2.1 percent last week. It touched a one-year high of 81.58 pence per euro, adding to last week's 1.6 percent advance, the biggest since April.
'Limited and Gradual'
Interest-rate increases will be "limited and gradual" as "there are some very big forces that will persist," including weakness in the euro-area economy, Carney said yesterday on the BBC's "The Andrew Marr Show."
"What we've had is a consumer-led recovery," Carney said. "What we haven't seen yet is business investment pick up. We haven't seen net exports pick up."
Sterling's rally has left it stronger than the $1.60 median year-end estimate of about 50 economists and strategists surveyed by Bloomberg. Credit Suisse sees it trading little changed in the next three months at $1.66, having previously predicted a drop to $1.61. The Swiss lender expects sterling to climb to 79 pence per euro, which would be the strongest level since September 2012.
Morgan Stanley recommended investors buy the pound against the euro because the European Central Bank is considering more stimulus measures. The Frankfurt-based ECB's main refinancing rate is 0.25 percent, and policy makers are mulling a negative deposit rate "very seriously," Executive Board member Benoit Coeure was reported by Reuters as saying Feb. 12.
Policy Divergence
"The BOE's policy seems less dovish compared to the ECB, where central bankers continue to highlight room for the use of non-standard measures," Morgan Stanley analysts including Evan Brown in New York and Meena Bassily in London, wrote in a Feb. 13 note to clients. The firm recommended investors set up trades that would profit from the pound's gain versus the euro.
Carney is benefiting from policies put in place by King, whose second term was marked by efforts to revive an economy that contracted for five consecutive quarters through June 2009.
Britain's unemployment rate was the lowest in almost five years in the three months through November, and down from a peak of 8.4 percent in November 2011. By the time Carney took over, the tally had slipped to 7.8 percent, and it fell further as the economy expanded 0.7 percent in the fourth quarter, capping the best year since 2007.
'King's Efforts'
"Thanks to King's best efforts to stimulate the economy, Carney is now reaping that benefit," Valentin Marinov, the London-based head of European Group-of-10 currency strategy at Citigroup Inc., said in a Feb. 14 phone interview. "For the pound, it all boils down to the growth outlook, which for the U.K. has improved markedly."
Citigroup, the biggest currency trader after Deutsche Bank AG, predicts sterling will climb to $1.70 by the end of March, making it the most bullish of the firms surveyed by Bloomberg, followed by Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc, which sees it rising to $1.69.
Carney, a former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. banker, shielded Canada's economy by quickly cutting the main interest rate to 0.25 percent after his appointment in 2008, accompanying that with a pledge to keep borrowing costs unchanged for a year. This also bequeathed to his successor, Stephen Poloz, an economy with record household debt, while near historic-low mortgage rates sparked a 26 percent increase in house prices during Carney's last four years in office.
Canadian Dollar
The Canadian dollar has fallen about 7 percent against its major peers since Carney left, according to Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Currency Indexes, amid bets that Poloz will ease monetary policy. In October, he dropped language from a policy statement that higher interest rates would become appropriate. Canada's currency tumbled to a 4 1/2-year low of C$1.1224 per U.S. dollar on Jan. 31.
In the U.K., the pound's rally has also been marked by a recovery in the housing market, with Nationwide Building Society saying Jan. 29 that prices rose for 13 consecutive months to the highest in almost six years. Demand has also been fueled by the government's Help to Buy incentive program, which guarantees loans to those who can only afford a small down payment. BOE Markets Director Paul Fisher said last month that "sharply rising" house prices are a potential source of instability that officials shouldn't risk fueling.
The potential for a housing bubble is doing little to discourage foreign-exchange traders from buying sterling, and they reduced bearish bets on Britain's currency last week by the most since October.
The premium traders pay for three-month options to sell sterling against the greenback versus those allowing for purchases declined 20 basis points last week, the most since the period ending Oct. 18, to 0.27 percentage point, 25-delta risk reversals show. It was at 0.29 today, compared with an average of 0.94 percentage point over the past 12 months.
"Carney is a lucky guy," said Richard Franulovich, the chief currency strategist for the northern hemisphere at Westpac Banking Corp, who sees sterling gaining to 78 pence per euro by year-end. "The recovery momentum in the U.K. still has further to run. Against this backdrop, I expect sterling to keep rallying."

Well something very surprising happened on Monday: I received a comment from an unfamiliar name on that blog post:
usemeee said...
Hello fellow cyclist BC, a new line is up this morning. I too love the basket, and the musings
Call me cynical (I am) but I wondered if the comment was sincere or if someone was sending me on a wild goose chase. However, I was not taking any chances of missing this piece again, if it *was* there. But since the message arrived on a bike-friendly weather day and I had no plans after work, there was no harm in me biking over there as soon as I got home that night to check it out.
And that's precisely what I did!
As I approached, from a block away, I saw it - I saw the stark, clean white garments against the dirty gritty background of Queens. Holy crap! It really *was* there!!
I pulled the cruiser over and got a bunch of photos. Enjoy!
While I was there taking photos, a young man who was there with his girlfriend asked to photograph me for an "art project". I let him take my photo and asked him if he was the artist. He said no, but I wondered... A short while later, another man asked to photograph me with his cell phone, and I let him. I also asked him if he was the artist, but he, too, denied it. Since I rarely get photos of me with my bike, I asked him to take a photo of me with my own camera:
My shirt says it all: I <3 NY! And this is just one reason why - my bike, random art and adventures. Life is good and I'm so thankful to live in this great city!
To the artist - thank you so much for having the vision to take something so seemingly ordinary and turning it into art. And kudos to whatever you went through to execute the installment. I can't imagine how you got into that caged area.
To the commenter, (if you are not one in the same, but I have a feeling you might be) thank you for alerting me so quickly. Not only was the news completely unexpected, but being able to see and photograph this piece was truly the highlight of my day. And you have no idea how badly I needed something to look forward to and put a smile on my face that night. Your timing was perfect.
If you're in the area, check it out. It likely will not be up for long- it may even be gone already!

New Eastside Friends of Seniors director sees vision come true
March 25, 2014
Retired transportation economist and Redmond City Councilman Hank Myers is the new director of the volunteer organization Eastside Friends of Seniors.
He was doing volunteer work in his community when he proposed the idea of creating a nonprofit organization to help seniors maintain their independence by providing essential services that allow them to remain in their own homes.
"My friend said that agency already exists," Myers recalled. "That's when she told me about Eastside Friends of Seniors."
The organization operates out of offices in the basement of Mary, Queen of Peace Catholic Church on the Sammamish Plateau.
Nonprofit seeks new executive director
January 14, 2014
Eastside Friends of Seniors has begun the search for a new administrator to lead the nonprofit organization that was founded in 1997 to provide assistance to older residents of the community to maintain their independence.
The board posted the vacancy on its website after accepting the resignation of Executive Director Claire Petersky, who has guided the growth and fundraising activities for the nonprofit group for the past five years.
Meteorologist hosts annual Eastside Friends of Seniors luncheon
October 1, 2013
Jeff Renner, of KING 5 news, hosts the second annual Gathering for Seniors at noon Oct. 11 at the Bellevue Hilton to benefit the activities of Eastside Friends of Seniors.
Eastside Friends of Seniors is a nonprofit organization that began serving seniors in Issaquah and the Sammamish Plateau in 1997 as Faith in Action. The group changed its name in 2011 to reflect its mission and has expanded its free services into Bellevue and the Snoqualmie Valley.
Organizations unite to makeover home on Tiger Mountain
July 9, 2013
More than a dozen volunteers from the Eastside gave up the first sunny Saturday of the summer to provide some much needed safety upgrades on the singlewide mobile home occupied by an elderly woman who lives on Tiger Mountain.
Members of the I-90 Church in Issaquah teamed with volunteers from Eastside Friends of Seniors to install a wheelchair ramp to the outside deck, and repaired rotted boards on the porch where Leila Forbeck fell and broke her leg in 20 places in September. The unpaid workers also replaced and painted drywall that had been damaged when the water heater in the tiny trailer failed several months ago.
