Carney Keeps Rate at Record Low as BOE Weighs Capacity
The Bank of England kept its key interest rate at a record low today as policy makers try to gauge the amount of spare capacity in the economy.
With the Monetary Policy Committee bound by Governor Mark Carney's forward guidance, officials held the benchmark rate at 0.5 percent, where it's been since March 2009. The decision was predicted by all 50 economists in a Bloomberg News survey. The panel's discussions took place yesterday, cut short by a day to allow some of the nine members to attend International Monetary Fund meetings in Washington.
The MPC met amid signs that the recovery is strengthening, with data this week showing industrial production rose more than economists forecast in February. While Carney has pushed back against expectations of an imminent interest-rate increase, saying more slack needs to be absorbed, the panel is divided over the amount of spare capacity in the economy.
The decision "is likely to have been unanimous again," said Samuel Tombs, a London-based economist at Capital Economics Ltd, who predicts the BOE will keep rates unchanged until late 2015. "Some of the indicators of spare capacity that are likely to be on the MPC's dashboard have been flashing red. Nonetheless, other developments are likely to have reassured the MPC that interest rates can remain on hold for a good deal longer."
The MPC also kept its asset-purchase program on hold at 375 billion pounds ($629 billion), according to a statement released in London by the central bank.
Economic Strength
Under guidance, the MPC has said it won't consider raising borrowing costs at least until unemployment, currently 7.2 percent, falls to 7 percent. The BOE will lift its key rate by 25 basis points by May 2015, according to one-month forward contracts for the sterling overnight interbank average, or Sonia.
The pound has appreciated more than 9 percent against the dollar in the past year as an improving economy prompted investors to add to bets for higher rates. Sterling slipped 0.1 percent to $1.6774 as of 12:11 p.m. London time, after reaching $1.6823 on Feb. 17, the highest level since 2009.
One potential risk for officials is that leaving rates low for too long creates a spiral in property prices. Policy makers have said they are monitoring for signs of overheating and will use macroprudential measures as the first line of defense. House-price growth accelerated in March and a shortage of homes for sale will keep upward pressure on values, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors said in a report today.
Slack Discussions
Britain's National Institute of Economic and Social Research estimated this week that economic growth accelerated to 0.9 percent in the first quarter, which would be the fastest in four years. The IMF raised its U.K. forecasts and now sees expansion of 2.9 percent this year.
Still, the economy was 1.4 percent smaller in the three months through December than at its peak in early 2008, supporting the central bank's view that there is enough spare capacity to keep rates on hold without fueling faster inflation. Niesr said a "sizable negative output gap remains."
While the bank estimates the level of slack in the economy at 1 percent to 1.5 percent of GDP, that figure has been contested by its own officials, with Martin Weale arguing it may be less and Carney and David Miles suggesting it may be more.
"The slack will be used up more quickly than the Bank of England predicts," said Philip Rush, an economist at Nomura International Plc in London. "By November there won't be enough to keep inflationary pressures in check and the bank will have to increase rates."

Real-time clock
A real-time clock (RTC) is a computer clock (most often in the form of an integrated circuit) that keeps track of the current time.
Although the term often refers to the devices in personal computers, servers and embedded systems, RTCs are present in almost any electronic device which needs to keep accurate time.
The term real-time clock is used to avoid confusion with ordinary hardware clocks which are only signals that govern digital electronics, and do not count time in human units. RTC should not be confused with real-time computing, which shares its three-letter acronym but does not directly relate to time of day.
Although keeping time can be done without an RTC,[1] using one has benefits:
- Low power consumption[2] (important when running from alternate power)
- Frees the main system for time-critical tasks
- Sometimes more accurate than other methods
A GPS receiver can shorten its startup time by comparing the current time, according to its RTC, with the time at which it last had a valid signal.[3] If it has been less than a few hours, then the previous ephemeris is still usable.
Power source[edit]
RTCs often have an alternate source of power, so they can continue to keep time while the primary source of power is off or unavailable. This alternate source of power is normally a lithium battery in older systems, but some newer systems use a supercapacitor,[4][5] because they are rechargeable and can be soldered. The alternate power source can also supply power to battery backed RAM.[6]
Most RTCs use a crystal oscillator,[7][8] but some use the power line frequency.[9] In many cases, the oscillator's frequency is 32.768 kHz.[7] This is the same frequency used in quartz clocks and watches, and for the same reasons, namely that the frequency is exactly 215 cycles per second, which is a convenient rate to use with simple binary counter circuits.
Many integrated circuit manufacturers make RTCs, including Epson, Intersil, IDT, Maxim, NXP Semiconductors, Texas Instruments, STMicroelectronics and Ricoh.
The RTC was introduced to PC compatibles by the IBM PC/AT in 1984, which used a Motorola MC146818 RTC. Later, Dallas Semiconductor made compatible RTCs, which were often used in older personal computers, and are easily found on motherboards because of their distinctive black battery cap and silkscreened logo.
In newer systems, the RTC is integrated into the southbridge chip.[10]
Some microcontrollers have a real-time clock built in, generally only the ones with many other features and peripherals.
Clockless CPUs[edit]
Some CPUs (and oftentimes CPU motherboards) are made without real time clocks. The real time clock is omitted either out of the desire to save money (as in the Raspberry Pi system architecture) or because real time clocks may not be needed at all (as in the Arduino system architecture).

Vormetric, a leading data-centric security solution provider, recently announced the preliminary findings of its "Protect What Matters – Data Security" research. The results, compiled from a global online survey of more than 450 respondents, details newer IT trends and data breaches as primary security drivers. The research also highlights that protecting brand reputation and observing security best practices should be an organization's primary motivators for data protection, while meeting compliance requirements also remains a major driver facing IT today.
"The security landscape has evolved considerably over the past 18 months. With advanced persistent threats recurring headline news, and as more organizations embrace the merits of cloud computing and Big Data, it is essential that enterprises ensure their IT infrastructure is geared up to keep pace with the changing market," said Tina Stewart, vice president of marketing, Vormetric. "We wanted to conduct this research to assess the extent to which organizations' security measures and motivations reflect these changes, and overall the study reveals that organizations are reassuringly starting to move in this direction."
The online global survey gathered responses across a full range of markets – banking/financial services, retail, manufacturing, public sector and others.

Santa Monica / Office
Working and living in beautiful Santa Monica may provide many opportunities for relaxation and recreation, but our busy digital age still presents unforeseen challenges for our bodies and minds. Some of the biggest health issues facing the average office worker can be linked to too much time chained to our chairs. Our bodies were designed for varying types of movement, but instead we serve it heaping doses of sedentary behavior on a daily basis. Even the busiest of bodies that find time for early morning surfing or yoga are still susceptible to the negative effects of excessive sitting.
Prolonged sitting causes metabolic activity to plummet, circulation to stop flowing, and pressure to build up in the spine. This leads to a chain reaction of problems that links prolonged sitting to everything from obesity to chronic pain to potentially fatal conditions like diabetes and cancer. Take your lunch outdoors to a sunny corner spot or to the Santa Monica Pier to help combat the effects of excessive sedentary living. For your workday, consider ergonomic office advancements to upgrade your office to a healthy haven of productivity.
Read more.
Why an Ergonomic Office?Office injuries are avoidable injuries. The root cause of pain is often poorly designed office elements that force you to contort your body into unnatural positions or hold static postures for extended periods. As a result, you wear out easily from discomfort and a slowed metabolism, lowering your quality of life and causing your work to suffer. Ergonomic investments are smart business decisions because they reduce health-related costs while reviving productivity.
Ergonomic office design streamlines the way you interact with your environment to help you work efficiently and without pain. The trained product consultants can troubleshoot issues to help design a workstation that takes the fuss and strain out of your job.
Ergonomic Office Essentials
• Invest in ergonomic office must-haves such as a Standing Desk to help you work on your feet. Studies show that adjustable stand up desks improve mood and alertness, allowing you to make better strategic decisions. Standing also thwarts the negative effects of prolonged sitting by reinvigorating circulation and metabolism and by taking pressure off of your spine. •
• Foster better comfort and spine health with an ergonomic office chair. Invest in a chair that offers lumbar support to keep your vertebrae aligned and your back pain-free. •
• Cramped hands? Try an ergonomic keyboard tray. Your typing angle and placement is key to relaxed fingers and wrists. The intricate and fragile structures of the hand can become easily inflamed or damaged with progressive overuse, leading to compressed nerves and strained muscles. Keyboard trays relax wrist position while also encouraging you to save your spine by fully sitting back in your chair. •
• Give your legs a mini-workout with ergonomic rocking footrests. Often an overlooked addition to workstations, footrests are simple devices that offer multiple benefits for the user. Not only does the rocking motion reinvigorate circulation in the legs, but the elevation gently moves your spine into proper alignment, making it more difficult to slump and slouch.
Get MovingChange your postures and find more ways throughout the day to get on your feet. Whether you transition to a Standing Desk or set a timer to take frequent walking and stretch breaks, know that there are several flexible solutions for what ails you. For a healthier and more productive office experience, visit Relax The Back in Santa Monica for a personal assessment and find the relief you need.

Kitsap Transit riders speak out at public forum
Torrens Talk
Money is tight everywhere. Consumer spending is down as people try to cut back on expenditures to make ends meet.
That scenario is causing havoc with our state and local government revenues. Sales tax monies play a significant role in the budget and when people buy less that goes down. And, when tax revenues go down, so does the ability to provide government services.
That is the heart of the budget shortfall that Kitsap Transit (KT) is facing. About 85 percent of the funding for Kitsap Transit comes from sales tax revenues. So, when people stop buying, KT needs to find ways to cut its operations.
To its credit, KT has hit the road to pitch their proposal and get feedback. They kicked off their "bus tour" in Poulsbo last Monday, Dec. 1, and will finish on Wednesday, Dec. 10, on Bainbridge Island. In between, there will be a meeting in Bremerton on Monday, Dec. 8, and in Port Orchard on Dec. 9.
At the meetings, KT wants to share its thinking and find out from the public what is viable and what is not. That is what happened at the meeting I attended this past Monday at the Poulsbo Fire Hall. I went there with my husband since one of the cutbacks being proposed dealt with the commuter run he takes to the ferry every day.
KT has done an exemplary job in providing service where and when needed. They provide the biggest bang for the taxpayer buck than virtually any other bus system around. KT has been a careful steward of the money, but that is no longer sufficient.
Now, they must look at raising fares and cutting runs. And, they want the public to help them make the decision as the public is the one who is going to have to live with it.
Given that, it was no surprise to hear the anger and frustration in various riders' voices as they raised their objections and/or questions about the proposal. What was fascinating is that there was very little consternation over raising the fares.
Probably because the last time KT faced such drastic measures (the passing of I-695), their run was cut completely, the 20 or so people at the meeting, seemed intent on making sure that wasn't going to happen again. Once it was clear that there would be buses for the run but not necessarily the same configuration of stops and runs, some of the tension relaxed.
There was also some confusion about the passenger counts which helped direct KT towards where to cut. That eventually got cleared up and resulted in even more tension being dissipated.
KT addressed many questions on how it operates, how it is funded and where the money goes. For some, it was enlightening to find out that a public budget does not operate the way a private business budget does. There are legal restrictions on how monies can be used and where they come from.
Others were frustrated with where KT must allocate its resources, such as ACCESS. That is a federal requirement with very little room to maneuver regarding service and fares. Despite the restrictions, KT came up with a very workable solution that, while cutting back the office customer service function, still allows for much of the ACCESS bus service to stay intact.
The overall proposal affects every aspect of KT and the fewest number of customers it serves. It is an attempt to be fair in spreading the pain. If the folks at the Fire Hall are any indication, KT is on the right track.
KT's budget adoption is Dec. 16. If you have questions or concerns, now is the time to raise them. KT is ready and willing to hear whatever ideas you have, especially if they result in not making KT wield such a sharp knife.
Depending upon the economy, KT could be back with the road show late next spring. Until then, KT is doing its best to provide the best service for the lowest fares for the most people in Kitsap County. When you think about it, could one ask for anything more?

Ring in the holiday with eighteen writers who extol, excoriate, and expand our understanding of this most merry of Jewish festivals as they offer up funny, irreverent, and, yes, even nostalgic takes on a holiday that holds a special place in Jewish hearts . . . and stomachs.
Pieces by Jonathan Tropper, Jennifer Gilmore, Steve Almond, Joanna Smith Rakoff, Adam Langer, and others address pressing issues: what is the weight gain associated with eating 432 latkes in eight nights? Offer joyous gratitude: "What a holiday! No pestilence, no slavery, no locusts, no cattle disease, or atonement. Thank God." And afford tender truths: "You are reminded of your real gifts: a family you get to come home to."
Whether your family tradition included a Christmas tree or a Chanukah bush, whether the fights among your siblings rivaled the battles of the Maccabees, or even if you haven't a clue who the Maccabees were, this little book illustrates the joys, frustrations, and small miracles of the season.

OPM was the only magazine I would subscribe for. I loved their articles, reviews, etc. It was the highlight of the month. Around the time when I should have been getting an issue in the mail, I would get excited. It's sad to see it end. But, it seems that there was no warning. They just ended it. I saw no problem with the magazine. Why not just make the magazine without the demo disk like everyone else is saying? Is it because that is what Ziff Davis plans to do with OPM under a different name? Are they keeping something from us? This sounds like they are hiding something from us?

I had weaned down so I didn't get it, but I've seen a few exampled of delayed carb flu on the forums. Five days may not be long enough yet. You may have had a lot of glycogen and carbs stored up and you're body is still feeding off those. When it finally runs out and is forced to learn to use the fat, that's when it hits.

text: Here's my dilemma. The place where I deer hunt doesn't have any place to make a fouling shot. I just checked my rifle's zero at the range (6 rounds through a very clean bore), and normally I'd clean the hell out of the bore when I got home. However, knowing that I won't be able to make a fouling shot before I see a deer, I'm wondering if there's some sort of "half way" cleaning method that won't remove the "good" fouling. Thanks, guys.

Jonathan Davis in "Wounded Warriors", a Film. [VIDEO]
Jonathan Davis has done a lot for soldiers both at home and over seas. Now he is featured in a new short film "Wounded Warriors". It actually follows him as he tours and hangs out at Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany. (Yes its pronounced the same as the band, but the band add an extra M which literally means "ramming stone". The band Rammstein has said they named their band after an air show disaster at the base of the same name.)

Pages from TechMan's notebook
Jottings from TechMan's notebook:
There's enough technology coming out of Carnegie Mellon University that TechMan could write every week just about that.
But then he could be accused of favoritism toward his alma mater, when in truth he can't remember the school song (if there were one) and can barely remember the school colors (burgundy and gray?)
But recently CMU-related items popped up that are worth mention.
The first is a follow-up to a recent TechMan column about digitizing newspaper archives. Former PG colleague Byron Spice, now at CMU, alerted me to a development there that is aiding in the digitizing of books and newspapers.
You've probably seen a captcha if you have logged on to any secure Web site. It is the distorted letters or numbers you have to type back into the site in order to show you are a human and not a machine.
Pioneers in captchas were Luis von Ahn and Manuel Blum of CMU; in fact, they coined the term.
Mr. Von Ahn and colleagues then went on to develop recaptchas, a way to make use of the decoding of these letters by millions of computer users.
One of the problems with digitizing text is that scanning machines cannot read some words because they are distorted in some way. Perhaps the printing is bad or the original is torn or creased. Those words have to be read by a human.
By using those words as captchas and allowing computer users to decode them as part of a Web page security process, millions of people have been enlisted in helping to digitize printed material without even knowing it.
In the first year of recaptcha use, more than 440 million words have been deciphered, the equivalent of 17,600 books. The system is currently being used to digitize the archives of the New York Times.
What a great hack.
The second CMU tidbit also has to do with making knowledge more easily available. CMU's Dan Hood is laboring to build an institutional repository for the university -- a Web site that would contain digital copies of research published by faculty members.
Faculty members routinely publish their research, but much of it appears in professional journals that have become so expensive that even some university libraries can ill afford to subscribe.
Although the researcher owns copyright to any publication of his or her work, when commercial journals publish it, they sometimes make contractual restrictions on making the work available otherwise.
Mr. Hood is trying to give the faculty a way to easily publish research on the CMU repository and to work with their commercial publishers to allow the work to appear there at some point.
The beginnings of the repository are at repository.cmu.edu. There are some works up there now, and Mr. Hood is hoping it will grow.
The 1911 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica is widely considered to be one of the greatest encyclopedias ever published. The edition that marked the beginning of the transition from a British to an American endeavor, came out at a time when knowledge was exploding.
Many of its in-depth articles were written by legendary experts including Algernon Charles Swinburne, John Muir, T. H. Huxley, Ernest Rutherford and Bertrand Russell.
The 1911 has been digitized and made available on the Web at several spots, including 1911encyclopedia.org, encyclopedia.jrank.org and en.wikisource.org/wiki/1911_Encyclopedia_Britannica.
The first site has ads, the second site has really annoying pop-up ads, and the third site has many empty pages waiting for someone to transcribe the articles. All the sites are incomplete versions of the original and suffer from the ills of unedited OCR transcription. But they make fascinating reading. And all three sites allow you to become involved by correcting scanner errors.
By the way, if you ever come across a print edition of the 1911 edition at a yard or estate sale, buy it.

Nursing Home Rapist, 22, faces 20 years in jail, convicted of raping a 92-year-old woman confined to her bed
This disgusting man was suppose to help out the residents of a nursing home but instead he helped himself and was caught raping at least one.
A former aide at a Cincinnati nursing home has been convicted of raping a 92-year-old resident who was confined to her bed and unable to communicate. A judge on Monday found 22-year-old Samuel Onyenweaku guilty of the woman's November 24 rape at the Amber Park Nursing Home. A prosecutor says the woman died in February from an unrelated condition.
A nursing supervisor testified against the young man, saying that she had tried to enter the resident's room, but the door was locked. When she finally opened it, she says she found the resident naked from the chest down. Her night gown had been pushed up to her breasts. A man's pants, underwear and shoes were lying under the bed. The supervisor then tried to enter the woman's private bathroom, but that door was also locked. She got in with a master key and found Onyenweaku.
The victim was a widow with no children. A former school teacher in Kentucky, she was bed-ridden and could not communicate.
'This is terrible. She did know what was happening,' said Assistant Prosecutor Anita Vizedom.
'This was the end of her life.'
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Onyenweaku was convicted of rape, felonious assault and patient abuse on Monday. He could face 20 years in prison when he's sentenced on July 28.
Imagine your Granny in a home unable to speak being violated by the workers you pay to help her. Unfortunately, these stories are all too common as we find more and more youth disregard the needs of others for their own desires by taking whatever they want without fear of consequences.

Optimized System-on-Chip Integration of a Programmable ECC Coprocessor
Most HardWare/SoftWare (HW/SW) codesigns of Elliptic Curve Cryptography have focused on the computational aspect of the ECC hardware, and not on the system integration into a System-on-Chip (SoC) architecture. The authors study the impact of the communication link between CPU and coprocessor hardware for a typical ECC design, and demonstrate that the SoC may become performance-limited due to coprocessor data- and instruction-transfers. A dual strategy is proposed to remove the bottleneck: Introduction of control hierarchy as well as local storage. The performance of the ECC coprocessor can be almost independent of the selection of bus protocols. Besides performance, the proposed ECC coprocessor is also optimized for scalability.

When it comes to the Miami Heat, every player who is not part of the "Big Three" has at some time or another gotten the label of X-factor from a sports analyst.
Within the 2012 NBA playoffs, besides Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, the most talked-about member of the Heat has been Chris Bosh.
Who is not playing.
I know that the Heat are where they are today because of the trio. I know that Dwyane Wade has been missing free throws, but turned around a dismal postseason to an unbelievable one. I know LeBron James' stat line has been gross, disgusting, sick and all the other negative adjectives that mean positive.
I know.
But the fact remains that when times turn rough for the Heat, many heads turn to the other guys in a Heat uniform for not contributing enough or being the "role players that they need to be."
Whatever that means.
To calm this talk and keep Miami on the positive path, the "role players" have to do their job and be productive in the spots that they can.
Or, in other words, fulfill their roles.

Total Time
Prep 5 mins

Got this recipe off a do it yourself site. It really works and is much cheaper than buying detergent at the store. Add a small amount of essential oil to give it a good smell!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1419.57 ml water
- 0 bar fels naptha bath soap, grated (Ivory Soap, Deodorant Soap, and Beauty Bars can be substituted for the Fels Naptha Soap.)
- 118.29 ml washing soda
- 118.29 ml borax laundry detergent
- 946.0 ml hot water
- hot water
- Mix Fels Naptha soap in a saucepan with 3 pints of water, and heat on low until dissolved.
- Stir in Washing Soda and Borax.
- Stir until thickened, and remove from heat.
- Add 1 Quart Hot Water to 2 Gallon Bucket.
- Add soap mixture, and mix well.
- Fill bucket with hot water, and mix well.
- Set aside for 24 hours, or until mixture thickens.
- Use 1/2 cup of mixture per load.
- Essential Oils can be added to soap for fragrance*Washing Soda can be found on the laundry detergent aisle of your supermarket.
- It comes in a yellow box.
- Baking soda SHOULD NOT be used in place of washing soda.
- They are completely different products.

I have used this off and on for years. It is cheap and incredible! If you cannot find washing soda (some parts of the country it is impossible) you can use an equal amount of Sunlight dishWASHER detergent.
This is a great idea and mine turned out fine but my daughter was allergic to something in it and got a rash so I had to go back to the detergent I usually buy. I was hoping it would work because it is so much less expensive.
Just made some ! Added a little lavender oil for scent - Can not wait to try it !

I think you need to start over and quit trying to win a battle that you already lost. People will know you by what you post tomorrow, not those in the past. It also will be noted favorably when your postings reflect a better attitude. I would ask you if you believe your present responses are working? Why don't you put your postings of the past behind you and start afresh to attempt with postings to build a better rapport?

I was playing once and afterwards, a little boy approached me and stated that he played the trumpet. I asked, "Do you play like I do?" and he replied, "I used to."
Let us not ignore the fact that I ended up censoring a lot of CRAP. I hate censorship, but hate ignorance more. I think that we understand everything that "was" posted.
Chet_Fan, you know now from us that we hear weaknesses in time and tone. Fix that stuff before posting again. Pride is a BIG part of becoming a fine trumpet player. I too am happy that not more is posted. Obviously there can be questions if it helps the playing or only the "fighting spirit".
Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.
Just my take on improving your playing (learning to play).
Learning is a closed loop function - research, absorb, question, play and listen, play again and listen, play - LISTEN SOME MORE, now make pretty music - if you don't like what YOU hear keep trying, altering, researching learning, trying, playing until you do - LISTEN, play, LISTEN, play, and then LISTEN. After all that's over, then ask some questions and maybe, just maybe, ask someone you trust to just listen.
What is the ultimate goal of trumpet playing - for someone to listen and enjoy listening, if you haven't done the listening, learning, listening bit the audience won't enjoy.
Having said that - go and play pretty music - play what YOU enjoy. And no - I didn't say post.

According to former Goldman Sachs international advisor turned Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti, Italy has no plans to tap the ECB's new bond buying program. Monti discussed the matter with CNBC's Maria Bartiromo on Friday and in a brief article published Saturday, Bartiromo says the following about Monti's time as Prime Minister:
The prime minister has been able to stabilize the Italian economy and markets with his programs to raise taxes and cut spending as he seeks to balance the budget and rein in debt that is some 120 [percent of] the country's GDP.
Similarly, Bloomberg had this to say about Monti's effectiveness:
Monti burnished his credentials with bankers and business leaders since his November appointment by reversing a slide in Italian bonds and curbing speculation the government would need rescue funds from Europe.
These assertions are either misinformed or, more likely, disingenuous attempts to bolster Monti's image in the face of the deepening debt crisis. Either way, they serve as a nice setup to a discussion of why, after all the time and effort spent by officials, policymakers, media pundits, and commentators to craft and sell a new ECB bond buying program, it turns out the anticipated beneficiaries now want nothing to do with it.
Mario Monti was appointed head of a caretaker government in November after former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi resigned amid bond market turmoil. Although Bartiromo and others give credit to Monti for stabilizing the Italian economy and the market for Italian sovereign debt, in reality Monti has done neither.
Since Monti's appointment, Italian GDP has contracted by an average of .73% per quarter (compared to the previous quarter), the worst of any major eurozone nation save Portugal. Similarly, industrial production has fallen by an average of .88% per month (again, compared with the previous month) in Italy for the past six months, and according to data provider Markit, Italy's PMI fell to a ten month low of 43.6 in August as everything from output to new orders to employment fell. Consider the following chart which shows Italy's manufacturing PMI over time (Monti's appointment is marked with a green line):
Source: Markit
Finally, consider the following charts which show consumer confidence, consumer expectations for the economy, and retail sales in Italy (again, the green lines denote Monti's appointment):
Source: Italian National Institute for Statistics & Haver Analytics via NYTimes
Clearly, it is quite difficult to justify the contention that Mario Monti has stabilized the Italian economy. As for the second notion -- that Monti has helped 'reverse the slide' in Italian bonds -- consider the following chart which shows the yield on Italian 10-year notes with periods of ECB intervention identified:
Click to enlargeSource: Bloomberg
It would certainly appear that Mario Monti had very little to do with stabilizing the market for Italian sovereign debt -- significant spread compressions virtually always accompany ECB liquidity ops or jawboning. The moves at the short-end of the Italian curve over the past month are even more dramatic as a result of the short-end bias of the ECB's new bond buying operation.
This information is presented not to disparage Mario Monti but rather to illustrate an important point about the eurozone debt crisis. What the ECB has done by stepping in to boost liquidity and stabilize volatile periphery spreads is to delay the implementation of austerity in troubled eurozone nations. Austerity is painful and can exacerbate economic difficulties in the short-run. However, what widening spreads indicate is that creditors have grown weary of irresponsible and unsustainable fiscal policies.
When 10-year yields rise above 7% for a long enough period, nations are forced to institute fiscal reform rapidly, no matter what the short-term consequences in terms of economic hardship. If they do not, they will be unable to fund their governments in the bond market. By continually intervening with deed and word, the ECB is allowing problem countries to put off reform efforts by removing the funding pressure the market naturally puts on nations that implement bad fiscal policy.
With the incentive to change course thus attenuated, nations are free to implement half-hearted austerity measures designed more to appease official creditors than to remedy bad policy. But these irresolute measures aggravate deteriorating economic circumstances while conferring virtually no benefits due to the inadequacy of their scope and insincerity of their implementers. As a result, recessions deepen faster than austerity can return countries to fiscal sustainability.
In the mean time, the ECB continues to undermine the urgency normally conveyed by the sovereign debt market causing policymakers to see no need for radical reforms and no need to request a bailout. This is where Italy and Spain are now. Funding pressure has been relieved by ECB promises and time has been bought. The countries will now debate whether they should or shouldn't request aid and will also consider scaling back unpopular (but urgently needed) austerity measures. They will make just enough budget cuts to pacify their neighbors but not enough to make a difference and in three months, the cycle will start again as the ECB will be forced to talk down soaring yields.
In this way the eurozone is dying a slow and painful death. In the end, someone will default, someone will leave the currency bloc, and the euro will decline sharply as the world -- for a moment at least -- will lose confidence in the eurozone, its central bank, and its currency. Whether or not this event has long-lasting ramifications for the global financial system is a matter for debate. In my opinion however, the tipping point in Europe will come and there will be quite a bit of money to be made betting against the euro (NYSEARCA:FXE), against European (NYSEARCA:FEZ) and American equities (NYSEARCA:SPY), and for gold (NYSEARCA:GLD) and volatility, as the initial shockwaves will reverberate across the Atlantic. It is however, a question of timing and a question of what lengths the ECB is willing to go to preserve a fundamentally flawed system. I find that nearly everyone thinks the day of reckoning for Europe is near but nonetheless, sentiment remains remarkably bullish (U.S. stocks at four and half year highs). There is a fundamental contradiction there -- perhaps investors should take note of it.

I have not used my wii for about a year, so when I pulled it out I put in all new batteries and I cannot get past the start page. It does not matter what game I put in, it just goes to the same page and that is it. I have also checked all the connections and they seem fine. What am I missing and how do I fix it. I need to get the game big brain academy going for my mom to help her with her memory.(DR's Orders) Please help anyone.
Hey Nancyae. It sounds like a NAND problem. This could be classified as a semi-bricked Wii. Your best bet is to have BootMii installed as Boot2, and run a NAND restoration. You need the NAND.BIN and the KEYS.BIN to do this. If you don't have homebrew, then, well unless you want to knock yourself out trying your own methods to fix your problem, a repair by Nintendo is a good option. Let me know if I can help you in any way.
