Economics According to Google
For decades, many of the brightest graduates in economics sought their fortune in finance. In coming years, they will seek it in marketing, as the Internet gives all companies the information-rich environment once available only in financial markets.
That's the prediction of Hal Varian, an economist at the University of California at Berkeley. Mr. Varian is known to legions of students for his microeconomics textbooks and to the public for his columns in The New York Times. He also is a leading thinker on the economics of information, co-author of Information Rules. As of July 2 he is an example of the trend described above: he is chief economist at Google Inc., where he will build a team of economists, statisticians, and analysts to assist the company in "marketing, in human resources, in strategy, in policy related stuff." He has given up his column but remains on the faculty at Berkeley.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Varian talked about the job, about how Google is like a traditional business, who should feel threatened by it, why marketing is the new finance and the contributions economists will make to helping firms understand and develop their products. –Greg Ip
WSJ: How did this job come about?
Varian: I knew [Google CEO] Eric Schmidt. … When I wrote Information Rules [with Carl Shapiro], he said "send me the manuscript." He was very helpful, read it, commented on it, and did a jacket quote. I bumped into him in New York at the World Economic Forum and he said 'I've joined this company Google, you should come down and see what we're doing… come and consult for us.'
Back in 2001 when I stepped down as dean at Berkeley, I thought I would take a leave for a year and do something in the real world. But then the real world seemed a little scary so I went to Google instead. There were only 400 people at Google back in 2002 [there are now nearly 14,000] and I had a great time working with them on a number of projects, primarily involving quantitative analysis of one sort or another. For example, I've studied the Google ad auction quite a bit and that turned out to be very interesting from an economic point of view.
After a 1 1/2 year leave I returned to Berkeley to teach on a part time basis, but I've continued to consult with Google for a few days a week. As the company has grown, the demands on my time have grown, and I finally decided to devote my full attention to Google. Everything you hear about Google is true: it's a very exciting place to work. So after studying the tribes of Silicon Valley for several years, I've finally gone native.
WSJ: What does the job entail?
Varian: During my time at Google we have built up a world-class group of quantitative analysts, and the economics team will complement these existing resources. Google has a great infrastructure for data analysis, and a management team that is very receptive to quantitative methods and willing to invest in this area. So what more could you ask for?
In addition to working on analytics, I've also worked on various business strategy and public policy issues, and will continue to do so as the occasion arises. This set of issues will only get more important to Google as time goes on, so I expect that this will also involve a fair amount of my time.
WSJ: Is Google different from the traditional model of the firm taught in economics?
Varian: I don't think the model for search is so different from the model for the media industry. Look at newspapers or magazines. You have a bunch of people trying to put interesting content in front of eyeballs and [sell] ads relevant to that content. The big difference is in the publishing business, all this stuff is negotiated. It just won't scale for the Internet. That's where the auctions come in, to handle the pricing on a real time basis.
WSJ: Is Google an example of a "winner take all" market, where "network effects" make it more valuable as it gets more users?
Varian: I don't think [search] is a winner take all market at all, because it's so easy to switch. You type a different URL into your browser. For eBay, the buyers want to go where there are the most sellers are and the sellers want to go where the buyers are. [In search] the advertisers want to be where the most users are [but] the users don't want to be where there are the most advertisers.
WSJ: Is Google a greater threat to content providers, or to content organizers — like phone directories?
Varian: Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Other people in that business will have a competitor. What's happening now is you had telephone directory doing one thing and card catalogues doing another and classified ads doing something else. But now, the online world, not just Google, all say we can do information search through a single interface. That's definitely shaking up that market.
WSJ: In the past, promising new economics PhDs who didn't want to work in government or academia probably aspired to work on Wall Street. In the future, will they aspire to work at companies like Google?
Varian: I think marketing is the new finance. In the 1960s and 1970s [we] got interesting data, and a lot of analytic fire power focused on that data; Bob Merton and Fischer Black, the whole team of people that developed modern finance. So we saw huge gains in understanding performance in the finance industry. I think marketing is in the same place: now we're getting a lot of really good data, we have tools, we have methods, we have smart people working on it. So my view is the quants are going to move from Wall Street to Madison Avenue.
WSJ: Is that because the Web can now provide companies with the density of information once available only for things like stock prices and interest rates?
Varian: Absolutely. Adaptive forecasting, how I revise my forecast to take account of updated information, you use that a lot on Wall Street, where you have time series of stock prices. And some of those things carry over into things that Google is doing, that have this real-time flow of data. How do I detect unusual events, and react to them?
WSJ: For example, a hedge fund wants to know if a stock is moving because of news, or random volatility.
Varian: That's a problem on Wall Street, and on the Web: is this [drop in traffic] a bug, or a holiday in southern Germany?
WSJ: Will economists earn the money in marketing that they do in finance?
Varian: There's this old line about Wall Street, this magic moment in a transaction when the money leaves one person's hands, and goes to another, if you are there to catch a little as it drops off, you can do very well. I'm not sure if marketing has that same characteristic. We see resumes from hedge fund people. You take a bright quant person, that's a natural place they want to go. But you burn out or decide you don't really like it or have a change in ideas. People are motivated by other things.

Rivalries between teams from bordering states make for some of the most interesting in college football.
Teams play not only for the pride of their schools and alumni but also for the pride of their states. Border-state rivalries also boast some of the most interesting incentives to the winners. Sometimes, governors from each state place friendly wagers on the game. Sometimes, teams play for a physical icon, like the "Little Brown Jug" that goes home with the winner of the Michigan-Minnesota game each year.
Except for the 1991 season when West Texas A&M's program was disbanded, WT and Eastern New Mexico have played every season since 1986. The rivalry - in which the teams play for the "Wagon Wheel," has produced some of the most intense and exciting games in either program's recent history.
The Wagon Wheel
Legend has it, in 1986, some student representatives from ENMU found a wagon wheel on a ranch outside of Dora, N.M. The student councils of ENMU and WT got together and decided to make the wheel a prize awarded annually to the student body of the school whose team won the football game.
The wheel was taken to a blacksmith in Portales, N.M., and dressed up. A plaque, on which the scores of each game are engraved, was fixed to the hub of the wheel.
Over the years, the claiming of the wheel has shifted away from the student bodies and to the football teams.
"It used to be a thing between the two student bodies," WT head coach Don Carthel said. "That's what I'd like to see it become again."
The Series
History has proved one can almost disregard sixth-ranked WT's 6-0 record and ENMU's 1-4 record entering tonight's game at Blackwater Draw, N.M. No matter what either team's record is entering the matchup, the games are typically close.
ENMU leads the all-time series 11-9. WT won the opener, 57-6, in 1945, but the teams did not face each other again until 1986. Of the 20 matchups, 10 have been decided by 10 points or fewer and seven of those by four points or fewer.
From 1993 to 1999, no game was decided by more than 10 points and four were decided by three points or fewer, including a 35-34 overtime win for WT in 1997.
"Rivalries like this, whether it be in high school or college, bring out the best in both teams," Carthel said. "There's a lot of emotion, and football is a game of emotion."
The Coaches
Both head coaches have been a part of both sides of the rivalry.
Carthel, who is an ENMU graduate, is 3-3 in the series. He went 2-3 as ENMU's head coach from 1986-1991 and evened his record last year with a 52-51 overtime win as WT's head coach.
"I think this rivalry is really a neat one," Carthel said. "It's one I'd like to see continue. It's good for Division II football to have something like this, and it's good for both universities. Both schools represent a lot of the same things culturally, and I think the Wagon Wheel fits this rivalry very well."
ENMU head coach Mark Ribaudo has been a part of every game since 1992. He was an assistant coach at WT from 1992-96, serving as defensive coordinator under Morris Stone from 1995-96. Ribaudo went to ENMU as an assistant in 1997. He served as defensive coordinator from 1998-2004 before being promoted to head coach last year.
"I love it. I absolutely love it," Ribaudo said. "I think it's great for both schools and both football programs. It's easy to get your team ready for this game, because it means so much. The players want it so bad. They want to win that Wagon Wheel. When it's your team climbing the hill with the Wagon Wheel, it's like reaching the top of Mount Everest, but when you have to watch the other team climb the hill with it, it's the abyss - like knocking on the door of hell."

Posts Tagged 'foldable gear'
foldable favorite: sea eagle boat
Ralph's inflatable pontoon weighs about 40 pounds, fits in the trunk of his tiny Audi TT, and requires only a few minutes to inflate, affix the oars, and put in.
You can outfit it with a motor but "it's fun to row and good exercise," says Ralph. "Though it's a bitch to fish out of."
The delux package includes the boat, inflatable seat, foot pump (though a pump that runs off your vehicle cigarette lighter makes life much easier), set of oars, stow pouch and storage bag.
foldable favorite: brunton solar panel
"We're off the grid honey!"
Ralph's expensive, portable, foldable solar panel charges all the small devices that we now find essential: MacBook, cell phone, weather station and satellite services like X-M radio.
Not like we ever do, but theoretically with this device the DWR can venture beyond hookup sites without a lapse in service from the electronics we need to call our lives fulfilling. It even charges the full size Airstream battery in 12 to 24 hours.
foldable favorite: leatherman micra
"Leatherman is cool, first of all, because they're made in Portland down by the airport," said Ralph when asked to discuss his mini Leatherman.
"It's a good summer pocket tool. Uh…" he tried to explain, at a loss for words to describe why he wears it permanently attached by a lanyard on his belt and went into a panic disorder when he misplaced it for a day. "What I like is that it's got a big scissors. And it's smaller than a Swiss Army knife."

It was an interesting card, that UFC 155. Saturday night's 12-fight lineup contained a lot of dull decisions and unfortunate efforts, but was punctuated by some serious action, including a co-main event that might have been the fight of the year.
The evening culminated with Cain Velasquez besting Junior Dos Santos to regain the UFC heavyweight belt. What's next for the new champ, and the night's 11 other winners? How about we do some speculating.

Conference previews
|Columbus: Tarek Herschleb, sr, RB-DB; Jake Ballweg, sr, OL; Alec Archambault, sr, DL; Blake Streeter, sr, LB. Lakeside Lutheran: Isaiah Butler, sr, RB. Poynette: Scott Lenius, sr, RB-LB; Kyle Stephens, sr, OL; Tanner Bruch, sr, QB-DB.
|After finishing second in the league last season, Poynette is poised for a title run in 2014. The Pumas return first-team all-conference picks at four positions.
|Cedar Grove-Belgium
|Ozaukee, HowardsGrove
|Howards Grove: Evan Klueger, sr, OL-DL; Ethan Brinkman, sr, WR-K; Andrew Reinemann, sr, WR-DB. Oostburg: Garrett Hackl, sr, OL-DE. Anthony Bonnett, sr, RB. Ozaukee: Jake Wolff, sr, QB-DB; Sam Schuette, sr, FB-DE; Anthony Rauch, soph.; OL-LB.
|Cedar Grove-Belgium is the team to beat until some team proves otherwise. Ozaukee has been closing in recent years. This year it could narrow the gap further as it had to replace only four starters.
|Bay View: Greg Carter, sr, RB; Artrell LeFlore, sr, OL-DL; Marcus Washington, sr, WR-DB. Bradley Tech: Darrell Kirby, sr, QB-DB; Charles Austin, sr, RB-LB; Rotrail Wilson, jr., OL. Hamilton: Neftali Mendez, sr, RB-LB; McKinley Taylor, sr, WR-LB. King: Collin Sathe, soph., QB; Linzy Hudson, sr, LB; Jawaun Battle, jr., DT; Devonte Hill-Stanton, jr., WR. Morse-Marshall: Kevon Ellis, sr, TE-LB; Sidney Yera, sr, RB. Pulaski: Jacob Foshey, sr, FB-TE-LB; River Gobel, jr., WR. Riverside: Brion Nash, sr, RB-DB; Omari Johnson, sr, DB; Camaro Dupree, sr, OL-DL. South: Rasheed Nance, jr., RB; Cedric Hayes, soph., QB. Washington: A'maru King, sr, QB; Keyontez May, sr, RB; Joe Ward, sr, OL.
|The Generals shared the 2012 title and won it outright last season. This year they have one the league's top offensive players in Sathe and one of its top defenders in Hudson. Keep on an eye on Riverside, too. The Tigers might play with a chip on their shoulder coming off a substandard year by their standards. Individually, Nance and (A'Maru) King will be in the conversation with Sathe as the league's top offensive threat.
|Classic 8
|Arrowhead: Ben Bredeson, jr., OL; Johnny Duranso, jr., QB; Andy Hessler, sr, LB. Catholic Memorial: Sam Gromacki, sr, DT; Mike Schmidt, sr, TE; Tommy Garza, sr, RB. Kettle Moraine: Mitch Pfeifer, sr, QB; Muskego: Alex Hauke, sr, DT; Brandon Valenza, sr, DB; August Lambrecht. Jr., LB; Baili Leszczynski, sr, G. Mukwonago: Jake Krueger, sr, QB; Nate Essman, sr, DB; Dylan Ulrich, sr, DB; Jesse Wilinski, sr, DL. Waukesha North: Jake Thode, sr, QB; Mario Van Schaick, sr, WR; Parker Zitzke, sr, WR. Waukesha South: Cannon Cooley, sr, QB; Jordan Yatchak, sr, RB. Waukesha West: Marcus Kelly, sr, TE-DE; Dyson Chmura, sr, WR-LB; Nick Radloff, sr, LB; Conor Blount, jr., QB.
|With Arrowhead's tradition and depth, the Warhawks are considered the team to beat, but West and Memorial have more proven players. Could the league have a different champion for the first time since 2011. Teams usually don't make big jumps from one year to the next in this league, but Muskego (15 returning starters) could make a move. So could Waukesha South, which returns Cooley and seven other starters on offense.
|Eastern Wisconsin
|Kewaskum,Two Rivers
|Campbellsport: Andy Hepp, sr, OL; Alex Lutz, sr, LB. Kewaskum: Brandon Thull, jr., RB; Sam Fetcher, jr., OL-DL. Plymouth: Tyler Willeford, sr, FB-LB; Zac Cain, sr, WR. Waupun: Adrian Harmsen, sr, RB; Danny Harmsen, jr., OL; Brandon Morrissey, sr, DB.
|Coaches in the league believe the Panthers are the team to beat. Willeford is one of the state's top linebackers. He also appears poised for a big season running the ball. Kewaskum has a quality junior class and should qualify for the playoffs for the 10th straight season. Thull could have a big year. He ran for 974 yards as a junior.
|Greater Metro
|Milwaukee Marquette
|SussexHamilton,Brookfield Cental, MenomoneeFalls
|Brookfield Central: Matthias Hoehnen, sr, DL; Mitchell Ahmad, sr, LB; Mitch Meevs, sr, DB. Brookfield East: Sam Santiago-Lloyd, soph., RB-DL; Connor Allen, sr, K-P-QB; Michah Childs, sr, DB. Menomonee Falls: Bryce McMurtry, jr., QB; Tom Paul, sr, LB. Milwaukee Marquette: Charlie Greif, sr, QB; Michael Thompson, sr, WR; Jake Matkovich, sr, WR. Sussex Hamilton: Isiah Webb, sr, RB; Michael Barnes, sr, QB. Wauwatosa East: Jackson Telderer, sr, QB; Grant Myse, sr, LB. West Allis Central: Will Konecny, sr, QB; Kenny Taylor, jr., DT;West Allis Hale: Cody Schumitsch, sr, OT-DT; Joe Werner, sr, RB.
|Marquette's offense will be fun to watch and it will be tested early against Wisconsin Lutheran on the road and against Loyola Academy, a Chicago team that is expected to be one of the top teams from Illinois. The league appears wide open after that although Hamilton always seems to find a away to be in the mix and Brookfield Central could be a factor in a hurry thanks to a boost from the hiring of Jed Kennedy. He led Kenosha Bradford to the 2011 state title.
|Metro Classic

|Burlington Catholic Central: Ben Heiligenthal, jr., QB; Jeff Stamper, sr, RB-LB. Greendale Martin Luther: Trevor Schmidt, sr, RB-LB; Matt Rohleder, sr, WR-DB. Kenosha St. Joseph: Mitch Laken, sr, LB; Kyle Cable, sr, LB. Racine Lutheran: Drake Dahms, sr, QB; Shamaj Williams, soph., RB. Racine St. Catherine's: Jose Ramirez, sr, OL; Connor Naeve, sr, TE-OLB. St. Thomas More: Jake Schley, sr, T-DT; Brian Bishop, sr, QB. Shoreland Lutheran: Jake Anderson, sr, QB. Whitefish Bay Dominican: Peter Nieman, sr, RB-DB; Jake Bennett, soph., QB-LB.
|The race for the league title figures to be tight. More than one coach in the conference couldn't pick a favorite. St. Catherine's hasn't lost a league game since joining the Metro Classic and has won 20 straight conference games dating back to its days in the Midwest Classic.
|UniversitySchool,Brookfield Academy, St. Francis
|Brookfield Academy: Spencer Francis, sr, QB; Colin Guest, jr., RB-LB; Pat Novacek, sr, WR-LB. HOPE Christian: Jonathan Bell, jr., WR. Lake Country Lutheran: Adam Tovar, sr, RB-DB; Ben Wilkins, sr, QB; Ross Gottschalk, sr, OL-DL. St. John's Northwestern: Jacob Somerville, jr., QB; John Alford, jr., RB-DB. St. Francis: Jake Wiedower, jr., QB; Mike Ross, sr, WR. University School: Michael Tucker, sr, RB; Hayden Heun, sr, OL-LB,
|Lake Country Lutheran isn't just one of the league favorites, it is one of the Division 7 teams to beat overall. The Lightning return studs Wilkins and Gottschalk from a team that reached the state semifinals last season. St. Francis replaces Messmer/Shorewood in the league and most coaches believe the Mariners will be one of the conference's upper echelon teams.
|Germantown,Cedarburg, Whitefish Bay
|Cedarburg: Jonathon Stiever, sr, WR-DB; Kyle Polum, sr, OL-DL; Nick Russo, sr, LB. Germantown: Dwayne Lawhorn Jr., sr, QB; Cole Karcz, sr, TE; Sean Mabbett, sr, OL; Lincoln Gruber, sr, DE; Kyle Theis, sr, LB. Grafton: Joe Fugate, sr, QB; Matt Pfannerstill, sr, RB-LB. Homestead: Jack Popp, jr., WR; Elijah Perine, sr, OL; Nick Allen, sr, QB; David Pfaff, sr, DT. Milwaukee Lutheran: Donovan Rathell, jr., RB. Port Washington: Ben Schueller, sr, QB; Tom Rose, sr, RB; Dylan Schurnweber. Whitefish Bay: Mitch Rogers, sr, DE/OT; Adam Strehlow, sr, RB-DB.
|Homestead gets the nod because of its long track record of success, but Germantown has the potential to be really, really good. Five of its players are three-year starters including Lawhorn. All the teams in the league will receive a forfeit victory over Nicolet. The Knights canceled their varsity season due to low participation numbers.

Palmyra-Eagle: Travis Poulson, sr, OL-LB; Mason Roscizewski, jr., QB/DB; John Pronschinske, sr, OL/DL. Walworth Big Foot: Brandon Hausner, sr, RB; Brett Morris, sr, QB.
|You know you've got something special when you lead the state in rushing the way Williams did last season. He ran for 2,349 yards and 27 touchdowns. East Troy could over take the Crimson Tide, though, with an athletic squad that has an experienced quarterback and offensive line. Like Williams in the North, Severson was the offensive player of the year in the South. Big Foot will try to sustain its run of success with first-year coach Greg Enz.
|Oak Creek
|Franklin: Vince Hughes, sr, OL; Bryan Beck, sr OL; Kobe Knaak, jr., LB. Kenosha Bradford: Mateo Infusino, sr, RB; Chris Benn, sr, OL. Kenosha Indian Trail: Brian Roach, jr.

Racine Horlick: Isaiah McRight, sr, OL-DL; Aaron Deford, sr, DB; Luke Sokol, sr, DB. Racine Park: Ryan Petersen, jr., LB; Jeremy Steward, sr, DB; Justin Steward, sr, DB.
|Last year experience did wonders for Franklin, the Division 1 state runner-up. Oak Creek, which has more than 30 seniors, finds itself in a similar position this year. In just its third year, Indian Trail became a solid program in a hurry and now must reload after graduating its first senior class. Bradford returns l5 starters and could get back to the playoffs after missing last season.
|Southern Lakes

|Burlington: Brian Dankle, sr, WR-DB-K. Delavan-Darien: Jesse Collins, sr, QB. Elkhorn: Keaton Verhoeven, sr DL; Keenan Leahy, sr, DB. Lake Geneva Badger: Tristan Steiner, sr, RB; Trevor Steiner, sr, OL. Union Grove: Jameson Radke, sr WR-DB. Waterford: Max Fisher, sr, LB. Wilmot: Carson Borowski, sr, OL; Sam Thurow, sr, WR-DB; Brennan Frisby, sr, TE-DL.
|The league race is traditionally tight and this year no team appears ready to run away with the crown. Badger is the favorite among coaches, but it returns no all-conference players. Waterford is actually the three-time defending champion but like most teams in the league is short on experience.
|Fond du LacSt. Mary'sSprings

|Laconia, Omro
|Fond du Lac St. Mary's Springs: Anthony Grebe, sr, DB; Zach Hintz, sr, K; Dominic Bilsie, sr, OL-DL; Brennan Ottery, sr, WR-QB. Kettle Moraine Lutheran: Jared Henning, sr QB; A.J Guhl, sr, RB-DB. Mayville: Adam Smith, sr, RB. North Fond du Lac: Mitchell Ballwanz, sr, QB. Omro: Chris Hess, jr., RB; Brad Fisher, sr, LB; Mike Peters, sr, DB. Winnebago Lutheran: Mitch McFarlane, jr., WR.
|Can Springs put together another long playoff run? The Ledgers won the 2012 Division 6 state title and reached the state semifinals last year. This year the team will have four new starters on the offensive line and a new quarterback.
|WisconsinLittle Ten
|Wisconsin Lutheran
|Beaver Dam: Anthony Schumannn, sr, TE-LB. Hartford: Mitch Datka, sr, DB. Oconomowoc: Brett Sampson, jr., FB; Richard Kuehl, sr, LB. Slinger: Jason Erdmann, sr, OL-DL; Aaron Maternowski, jr., OL-DL. West Bend West: Patrick Baumann, sr, RB; Austin Theisssen, sr, RB-WR-DB. Watertown: Casey Schuett, sr, QB; Carson Keeser, sr, WR; Stephen Burke, sr, WR. Wisconsin Lutheran: Terrance Ward, jr., RB; Anthony Carver, sr, TE; Mason LaMarche, sr, OL; Logan McShane, sr, QB; Jacob Frey, sr, WR; Quinton Reed, jr., OL-DL; Caleb Kuske, sr, DB.
|Lutheran returns nine starters on offense and seven on defense from a team that finished second with a 6-1 record last season. Watertown will be dangerous. Schuett threw for 1,909 yards and 22 touchdowns last season and will have three returning starters at receiver. A sneaky pick for second is Slinger, which has enough muscle up front on both side of the balls to move up the standings after spending the past few seasons in the middle of the pack.
|South Milwaukee

|Brown Deer, Greenfield,Whitnall
|Brown Deer: Zack Baun, sr, QB-DE; Nick Coleman, sr, RB-DB. Greenfield: Xavier Copeland, sr, RB; Jeremy Swider, sr, QB. Cudahy: Tyler Krajewski, sr, OL/DL. Messmer/Shorewood: Deonte Newsome, sr, RB-DB. South Milwaukee: Justin Oliden, sr, QB; Bryan Honerlaw, sr, DT; Ian Pribyl, sr, RB-OLB. Whitnall: Michael Kremer, sr, FB-LB; Keanu Austin, sr, DB.
|South Milwaukee is loaded with experience and has a two-time all-conference quarterback in Oliden, making the Rockets the favorite with first-year coach Derek Hoff. But new coaches at Greenfield and Cudahy should re-energize those programs. Baun might be the league's best player. Messmer/Shorewood makes its conference debut, replacing St. Francis.
|Greendale: Josh Ringelberg, sr, QB; Tristan Pipp, jr., TE-LB. New Berlin Eisenhower: Nate Erickson, sr, P-K; Sam Carey, jr., QB. New Berlin West: Eric Kennedy, sr, WR-DE; Cody Aschenbrenner, sr, TE-DE. Pewaukee: Jacob Becker, jr., OL-LB; Jordan Jones, sr, RB-LB. Wauwatosa West: Demaris Purifoy, sr, RB-CB; Christian Morzinski, sr, OL-DL.Greendale is again loaded with talent with a top-level quarterback in Ringleberg and lots of receivers, but the conference remains balanced. Pewaukee will lead with its physical line play and should be a force. Tosa West has good skill players but is a little thin up front. New Berlin Eisenhower is under new leadership after longtime coach Jeff Setz stepped down.

Spain, on the edge of a financial cliff, cancels all development aid to Latin America
The Spanish government announced this week it was cancelling all development aid to Latin American countries as a direct consequence of the financial strains the EU member is suffering, which is the worst in decades with record unemployment of 24%.
However the Spanish Foreign Affairs ministry was quick to ensure that the decision is not linked to the recent seizure by the Argentine government of a majority stake in YPF from Repsol.
Among the countries that will be affected in order of strategic importance for Madrid are Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Colombia. Nevertheless the sums had been diminishing for the last few years because of the per capita income increase in most Latam countries. Argentina for example in 2011 only received 4 million Euros.
"Unfortunately there will be no funds available for development in 2012", said a Spanish Foreign Affairs ministry source. "Budget cuts have been across the line and that includes overseas aid".
Foreign minister Jose Manuel García Margallo during his presentation before the Spanish congress Cooperation committee last March anticipated that the cuts were coming, even "when they are an extremely painful option" for the government.
According to Spanish media sources in the last four years Spain's development aid to Argentina totalled 100 million Euros.
Excluded from the list are the poorest countries in Latam and the Caribbean, which will receive emergency aid. The overall sum will be concentrated in north Africa countries, particularly those in transition to democracy plus Western sub-Sahara and the African horn.
Spain has earmarked 800 million Euros for development aid in 2012 which is 1.3 billion less than in 2011.

Prologue: After extensive searching, I finally found what I hoped was a good gift for two of my favorite people. I bought it, had it gift wrapped and with a pile of other packages took them all home. When I arrived, that special gift was missing. After what happened next I didnt have to ask if Santa Claus was real!
It was 114 years ago that eight-year-old Virginia OHanlon asked that question in a letter to the editor of The New York Sun. Journalist Francis Pharcellus Church replied to Virginia and the rest of us in part that He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. That is one of the most quoted newspaper articles in history and certainly fits what happened to me after loosing that package.
I know someone who works at the Summerville Belk where I had shopped. When I got in touch with him he said he would certainly check, but there was little chance a dropped and wrapped gift would be returned. I thought the same thing. Within a half hour we were both proved wrong. We found it! he enthused over the phone, but you have to identify the contents and we have to unwrap it and confirm that. I described what was in the box. For reasons explained later, I hesitated, but then had to comply if I wanted the gift. I gave the right answer. They rewrapped the gift and I got it back.
In the interests of full disclosure, I must tell you that my Belk contact is my brother-in-law, Jon Troneck. You may think this is why he took such an interest in my predicament. But Ive known Jon for 23 years and hes worked for Belk for 40 years. I know his work ethic and have heard his dedication and professionalism praised. Knowing Jon, if my name were Jan Doe, my treatment would have been just the same except for the fact that he probably wouldnt have called Jane honey. There were lots of Santas that day. Jon spent time checking all over the store with no luck. Then Linda Doyle, area sales manager for cosmetics, shoes and ladies accessories, came to the rescue. She said the package had just been turned in by Sandra Bennett, sales associate for Clinique, who got it from a customer, who found it in a shopping cart! My thanks go to Jon, Linda, Sandra, and to that anonymous selfless customer. They all proved once again not only that there is a Santa Claus, but that the Spirit of Christmas lives beyond the season and sets the tone for a bright New Year.
Epilogue: Ironically that missing gift was actually one I planned to give Jon and Cynthia for their 22nd wedding anniversary, which is today. And which is also why I was hesitant to describe what was in that box, but amazingly I managed to keep it secret. Jim and I presented the gift yesterday, so they wouldnt see it in todays paper before we all go out tonight to celebrate their more than two decades of marriage.
That, and the love and generosity of others.

Nothing but Good News
Sand in My Bra was named the 2nd best selling book for June at Wide World Books & Maps in Seattle. Hey Frasierheads, lets keep it up for next month too! Ill be reading and signing books there Tuesday, September 9. Check out their July newsletter for other fun events and hot titles.
In other bookstore news, Book Passage recommended Sand as a summer reading pick in their most recent Book Passage Fortnightly newsletter. Did you know they're opening a new store in the city?
Being at TT is fun, friendly and familiar. It feels like home and Im trying to not take for granted their goodness. Its even better to be getting paid for work Id be doing on any ole pass through town. Setting up events, helping Krista with press materials, researching new marketing opportunities, maintaining reviews, and that was just yesterday. Heres one that came in this week:
"A collection of real life travel stories by witty women...what makes this book so appealing is that many of the experiences not funny at the time become the story that can be told over and over this book is a delightfully entertaining look at some atypical travel experiences" Lauren Roberts, SC Beacon.
This is the first review that commented on the R rating of my story. "A tour of Bangkoks red-light district might offend some," Roberts said. How diplomatic. Lets face it, its a little too graphic in parts. Ive got nine hours to pick out an entertaining portion that I can read tonight at the salon. Something that will make them laugh and want to buy the book without needing to hide it from their preteen daughters.
You can read the full review at SC Beacon.com Scroll down to their "Columns" section to find "Book Reviews."
In other good news for Sand, weve been approached for Korean translation rights. I also got to see a report yesterday. We just closed three months and it is continuing to sell steadily. Weve had less than 100 returns to date, and thats extremely low for us. Anyone want to take bets on how long before our third print run? My money is on a month.
To me, it feels like were only half way through the launch. Since were still booking events, pitching reviews and interviews, and just getting started with some online marketing and special sales, weve still got a ways before this slows down. Sand II is on the Fall 2004 calendar (in pencil), so I could be very sandy through the end of the year.
Hey ladies, work on those stories. Have your friends look at them, and polish them up before sending them in. I think Ill even be considering some of the close runner ups from the last manuscript.

Wards Corner Community Coalition
Project Summary
Wards Corner is an early Edwardian building in the London Borough of Haringey. It functioned as a department and furnishing store until 1972. Since then, it has been threatened with demolition to make way for redevelopment of the area. The Wards Corner Community Coalition is made up of local traders, community groups and residents associations who were opposed to a council redevelopment scheme for the site.
Project Background
Now partially owned by Transport for London, the market building was proposed as the first of three projects to regenerate the area. The council's initial proposals included demolishing the locally listed Wards Corner building to make way for 200 modern homes.
Wards Corner Community Coalition came together to prevent the demolition of public place and displacement of people. They are a grassroots campaign struggling to remove barriers of inequality and reclaim the 'Right to Place' and involvement in the planning process.
Glass-House Involvement
The Glass-House brought in the help of East Architecture for a two-day design workshop to support Wards Corner Coalition. The aim was to enable the group to develop their understanding of the complex planning issues relevant to the regeneration scheme.
The workshops involved: analysing case studies of other regeneration schemes involving markets; a study visit of the Wards Corner building; the group creating a documentary of the area using photographs and interviews to create a shared vision of the area, and model making to visualise different options.
Community Involvement
In 2009, over 300 people attended a large public meeting to propose alternative plans for the redevelopment of Wards Corner. Wards Corner hold regular meetings and have submitted an alternative plan.
Project Support Outcomes
The Wards Corner Coalition finished the process with a variety of resources including the documentary and models which could then be used in their ongoing engagement with any redevelopment of Wards Corner.
Response from the Group
Latest Update from the Group
On Tue 22nd June 2010 The Court of Appeal stood by the Community of Tottenham and ruled in our favour, quashing the application by developers, Grainger.
In December 2011 members of the Wards Corner Community Coalition attended our Neighbourhoods by Design course to work on their community plan for the area, including the Wards Corner building itself.
June 2012 - Haringey Council granted approval for Grainger's revised plan to demolish Wards Corner. The Community Coalition continue to work on their alternative community plan and petition against the Grainger proposal.
WCC developed their community plan proposals, led by local architect Abigail Stevenson. The Glass-House connected the group with two of our collaborative research projects (Valuing Community-Led Design and Media, Community and the Creative Citizen). Through a co-design process in the Creative Citizens project, the group used online engagement platform Stickyworld to share their plans and engage more local people in their initiative. The proposal received enthusiastic support and 222 comments on Stickyworld fed into the consultation process for the submitted community plan.
The plan was approved by Haringey Council in April 2014.

Cable network greenlights four new series
Animal Planet will boost its programming budget 14% this year to $93.4 million, starting with a greenlight for four primetime series scheduled to begin airing in the second quarter and continue into next year.
Exec VP-general manager Maureen Smith said the network is seeking to build on its recent ratings momentum. It's coming off a solid 2006 in which its primetime Nielsen average grew to 600,000 total viewers, 6% up on a year earlier. In its target demo of adults 25-54, the net jumped 5%.
The four new projects:
- "Spring Watch USA" follows mammals, birds and insects as they adjust to the unfolding of spring. Painless Prods. will film each of the six hourlong episodes close to airdate, with Jeff Corwin and Vanessa Garnick as the hosts. It's based on a BBC series.
- "Divine Canine" zeroes in on a group of Eastern Orthodox monks in upstate New York who have become celebrated for raising and training dogs. People with dysfunctional dogs from all over the country take them to the monks, who cure the animals through behavioral discipline and, spiritually, by putting the fear of God into them. Rivr Media will do 16 half-hours in the first cycle.
- "Twisted Creatures" employs the latest in CG effects to conjure up mythical beasts in 13 half-hours produced by Evergreen Films. The griffin (half eagle, half lion) is the first subject.
- "Predator vs. Prey" sees animal expert Dave Salmoni go out into the field and study the interaction of such natural enemies as grizzly bears and elk. Producer Triosphere will do four hours to run as quarterly specials, beginning in midsummer.
Among Animal Planet's most popular continuing shows are "Wild Kingdom," "Meerkat Manor," "Animal Planet Safari" and the one-hour "Prehistoric Park" specials.
Smith said she'd like to buy rerun series, but the networks are not commissioning animal-themed series like the old "Lassie," "Rin Tin Tin," "Flipper" and "Gentle Ben."
Animal Planet rarely buys theatrical movies, springing for "Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course," starring the late Steve Irwin, mainly because Irwin's weekly series was a staple of its schedule.
Smith said purchasing the rights to a theatrical movie like "March of the Penguins" would be so expensive that she'd rather use the money to produce original series.

This game is really fun and entertaining. I can't stop playing. I love how the weapons are designed and how you craft the items. Great work, FliplineStudios!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
great game! i cant stop playing it. this game really looks on precision, while not being too difficult that you get frustrated... and its nice to see your work in the battles.
the only nagetive point may be, that one cant sell anything ( or did i just miss it?). ive got tons of bronze, which i wont need further on in game... i wish i could sell it to get gems to buy the stuff i really need. this is the only negative aspect of the game.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I saw a Kongregate version ad of this at Gamestop. I thought it looked neat. so I will give it a try.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Very fun and very entertaining. Cannot stop playing! Smithing weapons and watching the outcome of your work is great.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Who knew Flipline's food making games would turn into weapon forging. And even more stuff to do other make the order is awesome. Hope another great idea comes soon.

AMC (June 25, 8 p.m. ET)
AMC's first made-for-TV movie dawdles, but at least you have time to enjoy Lloyd Ahern's handsome cinematography. Canada's Alberta substitutes for the late-19th-century American West, but the scale is appropriately vast, and the light where the horizon meets the sky is one of the few soft, glowing things in a harsh world.
The story, four hours over two nights, follows Robert Duvall and Thomas Haden Church as they drive horses to Wyoming. Along the trail, they take into unofficial protective custody a small group of kidnapped Chinese women destined for work as prostitutes in a mining town. These joined stories never forge into one strong plot, but there's always Duvall, an actor whose rugged reserve is so at home in Westerns (Lonesome Dove). He can say a line as simple as "Sometimes you just gotta roll with what's thrown atcha, eh?" and it has the plain flint of truth.

1. Re: Buffer from Skip-To Pointmancorn Nov 3, 2011 6:38 PM (in response to Caleb Vetter)
Not if you're using progressive download. YouTube is streaming and why you can skip to any point in the video. If you don't want your progressive video to stop playing, try using an flv as opposed to a f4v. With a flv the video will continue playing from the same point. i.e it will not stop and wait for the video to fully load the middle point before playing again. Of course it won't jump ahead to the middle (like YouTube) since that part of the video isn't yet loaded, but it will keep playing the video instead of stopping and waiting for that section to load before playing again.
The problem is that it can be confusing to the user why the video won't skip ahead and instead just keeps playing from the orginal spot. You can throw up a "buffering animation" to let the viewer know that that this section of video is not yet loaded.

My father, Clarence Thomas, was not a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, nor was he a cook. That job was my mother's, and although my dad could sometimes pull together a pot of chili or toss hamburgers and hot dogs on the charcoal grill, he didn't spend much time in the kitchen - unless he was making his signature nut roll.
My father grew up in a coal-mining town in southern Pennsylvania called Bobtown. He left high school in the 11th grade to join the Navy, and although he was too young for the war, in 1945 he sailed to Japan, where he helped with cleanup after the atomic bomb ended activities in the Pacific Theater.
When he returned from military service, he followed his father's footsteps and went to work in the coal mine, married my mother and proceeded to start a family.

This recipe makes six very large nut rolls that can be given as gifts to friends and relatives. Rolls also can be frozen and thawed out later in the event of surprise visitors several days after the holidays.
This recipe makes six very large nut rolls that can be given as gifts to friends and relatives. Rolls also can be frozen and thawed out later in the event of surprise visitors several days after the holidays.
But, like many young men of that era, he heard news of a better life in northeast Ohio where factory work was available and escape from the dangerous coal mines was possible. After moving here, he worked in the factory every day, came home every evening, and on holidays, the families and extended families all came together to celebrate. At Christmas, everyone knew my dad would bring his signature nut roll. It always got raves from everyone.
My parents died within 10 months of each other, first my father in 1994 and then my mother in 1995. From my mother's belongings, I claimed the old, dented tin that contained her recipes. Some were cut out of magazines, but many were in her own heavily scripted handwriting, the paper now turning brown and crisp. Among the stack was one single sheet of letter-sized paper with a recipe scrawled in pencil in what was obviously a man's rough and irregular handwriting. It was the nut roll recipe.
I never knew where he got the recipe, if someone dictated it to him or if he copied the basic instructions, knowing full well how the thing should go together. Sometimes when I was cleaning a closet, I would come across the tin and look through it before closing the lid and placing it back on the shelf. The recipes moved around from shelf to shelf, and once in a while I would pull one out to bake a cake or look up a pickle brine. But most of the recipes were unused for nearly 15 years. And then a few weeks ago, my brother sent me an e-mail asking if I had Dad's nut roll recipe. I knew I did, and I knew it was in the tin. I told him I would find it and e-mail it back to him.
Fact Box
Flaky Nut Rolls
1 1/2 cups warm milk
1 1/2 block yeast, family size
1/3 cups sugar
Melt yeast in warm milk, add sugar and mix in a medium-sized bowl. Let rise.
7 cups flour
1 pound butter
1 teaspoon salt
12 egg yolks (reserve the whites for the filling)
1 cup sour cream
Mix flour, butter and salt in a large bowl. In the center of the flour mixture, make a well. In the well, add the egg yolks, sour cream and the yeast mixture. Gradually pull the sides of the flour into the wet mixture and work it into a soft dough. It will be sticky. More flour can be added if necessary. I added an additional half-cup.
Grease a large bowl. Put the dough in the bowl and cover with a towel. Put in a warm area of the kitchen to rise for about an hour. It should double in size.
After the first rise, gently push the dough with your hands to work it down and then let it rise again for another hour. While the dough is rising, make the filling.
2 pounds walnuts, finely ground
12 egg whites
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup milk (or apricot brandy)
Divide filling into six equal portions.
After the second rise, cut the dough into six pieces. Roll each piece into a 1/8 inch thick rectangle. Spread each rectangle with one portion of the filling leaving about a half-inch around the edges. Starting at a narrow end, roll it jelly-roll fashion. Place rolls close together on a greased baking sheet with the raw edge on the bottom and tuck the ends underneath. Three rolls will easily fit on a large baking sheet. Brush the tops of the rolls with beaten egg yolk and, if desired, sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
Makes 6 large rolls.
At first glance, the recipe was difficult to decipher. Was it two cups brown sugar or two cups regular sugar and a half-cup brown? It looked as though it was written in haste. I could picture my dad writing it down while trying to capture the process from memory.
His method was coarse and to the point: "then mix, then put in bowl, make well in flower (sic) mix good, let rise, work down, let rise, cut in 6 pieces... put close together in pans... make them as long as pan... then spread"
At the end of the recipe, and with no other instruction, it simply says, "BAKE," a final instruction. There was nothing more to be said.
After all this time, I
realized I wanted to make my dad's nut roll. I've made nut roll many times in the past using a recipe from a Polish-American cookbook I've had more than 30 years. I knew I could fill in the blanks and what I couldn't remember I could easily look up on the Internet. I wanted to know what made this nut roll so good that it earned so much praise at our family holidays.
While I made it, I discovered that I wanted to know where the recipe originated. Was it my dad's own concoction after trying out several others? Was it passed to him by his mother or father? Did he get it from a co-worker or church member and pass it off as his own for so many years? I'll never know, and as the recipe unfolded, I wish I had asked him these questions when I had the chance.
As I followed the recipe, I thought how my dad might have done it.
He didn't warm the milk in a microwave, nor did he grind the walnuts in a food processor like I did. Instead, he likely measured the milk into a small saucepan on the stove. I would watch when he ground the walnuts with the hand-cranked, pot-metal contraption that clung to the table with a clamp and toggle screw. The eggs were he used were fresh from my grandparent's small farm. It wasn't difficult for him to find the yeast in block form, but I had to go to two stores. Most yeast sold now comes dried in small envelopes or by bulk in jars for bread machines. For him, the process of making nut rolls was an all-day event.
I had the modern conveniences, so it didn't take me all day, but it did take a good part of an afternoon. The pastry is exactly that, light and flaky as pastry should be. I took liberties with the filling and instead of using milk, I added a half-cup apricot brandy, a trick passed on to me from my husband's grandmother.
I can finally understand why everyone praised it so. It really is moist and good and certainly worth the time and effort. I will make it again. Maybe it will become my tradition now.

Dr. Günter Blobel Presents to a Full House at FAU and Scripps Florida's Nobel Laureate Lecture
BOCA RATON, FL (February 14, 2008)–Dr. Günter Blobel, a prolific cellular and molecular biologist and recipient of the 1999 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, presented his cutting-edge research to a full house at the recent "2008 Distinguished Nobel Laureate Lecture" at Florida Atlantic University. The event, co-presented by FAU and Scripps Florida, attracted students, faculty, researchers, physicians and members of the public who were interested in learning first-hand about Blobel's groundbreaking research on the inner workings of the cell. Also in attendance was Sir Harold Kroto, the Francis Eppes Professor of Chemistry at Florida State University, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1996.
Blobel has spent years investigating and learning how proteins are delivered to their proper location to perform their specific function. He hypothesized and proved that each protein has a sequence in it—a code—which acts as a "zip code" directing the protein to the proper location or cellular address within the cell. Blobel's research is vital to helping understand what is wrong with cancer cells, what the AIDS virus or Alzheimer's disease does to cells, and how to develop drugs to combat these and other diseases.
"This was truly an enlightening day for Florida Atlantic University," said Dr. Ramaswamy Narayanan, associate dean for research and industrial relations in the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science at FAU and co-chair of the event.

Monday, August 18, 2014
More than 30 years ago, a group of concerned citizens and community leaders in Cross dreamed of bringing to its residents a facility to address their healthcare needs.
Through hard work, perseverance, and community support, the Cross Health Care Center was born. However, the increasing healthcare needs of the citizens of the area, did not allow the staff and its dedicated Board of Directors to consider their job finished, or completed.
On Aug. 9 another dream for the citizens of Cross was realized as the ribbon cutting of the 6,000-foot, Elijah Wright Health Center (Fetter Health Care Network), was realized. The new facility, a dream of its name sake, and other board members, will continue the legacy of providing comprehensive, quality, affordable health care services, on a broader and more comprehensive basis, to the residents of the Cross Community and surrounding areas.
The site is named in honor of Mr. Elijah Wright, a lifelong resident and leader of the Cross Community whose commitment to it was unwavering.
Mr. Wright served as a member of the Fetter Board of Directors for over 20 years until his death in 2012. Wright and Mrs. Dorothy Wright were also very instrumental in recruiting the initial physician and nurse to the first health center established for the citizens of the Cross community.
The new center contains nine patient rooms, a 50-person waiting or reception area, a pharmacy, physicians offices, conference areas, dining area for staff, and other necessary and basic needs components.
An opportunity to tour the facility was provided immediately following the benediction following last weeks dedication ceremony. The facility is absolutely beautiful and fully equipped to provide the services needed for exceptional healthcare.
The facility is located at 1681 Old Highway 6 in Cross.
Members of the Fetter Health Care Network Board of Directors are: Rev. Micheal Ray Mack, Chairman; Rev. Randy Adkins, Treasurer; Darlene Wright, Secretary; Dr. Thaddeus J. Bell; Dorothy Ferrette; Dr. Courtney Fisher; Phalarma Freeman; Selena Goodwin-Hay; Sonya Jones; Ruth Jordan; Barnara Moss; Tiffany Ravenel; Dr. Deborah C. Williamson, and Reuben J.

The Way of Ping
The story takes place in a pond where all pond dwellers have gathered to watch Ping, the frog's, glorious jumping. His travels take him to this pond whose dwellers, ruled by Toad the Elder, have never questioned the certainty of their surroundings. When Ping told Toad the Elder that the Great Ocean is much bigger than their pond and invited them to visit it, Toad the Elder furiously yelled at Ping saying that he's a liar and that there is nothing called ocean, that there is nothing beyond the beyond. By "beyond the beyond" he meant the pond. But two young frogs, Daikon and Hodo, curious and rebellious, met Ping at night outside the pond to take them on a journey to the Great Ocean. After many obstacles on their path, just as Daikon and Hodo thought that they are near the Great Ocean, Ping trained them even more using the bamboo tree.
They had to climb up all the way to the top of the tree and then all the way down to conquer their fears and understand that nothing is impossible. Ping told them to learn from bamboo and then he said, "You too must remain flexible and responsive to unpredictable circumstances when they appear.... By remaining flexible, you allow things to speak to you and tell you what to do with them.... Be like bamboo, which is strong, resilient and unbreakable." This is important to keep in mind while being a manager or a CEO. These people need to be strong and unbreakable, but they also need to be flexible.
