- The ultimate collector's items!
The second of four limited edition 7" singles box sets by The Who, The Reaction Singles 1966, is the latest in the series of releases commemorating the band's 50th anniversary this year. The new set follows the release of Volume 1: The Brunswick Singles 1965-1966, with the Reaction singles to be followed by further anthologies of their Track and Polydor releases.
Volume 2: The Reaction Singles 1966 chronicles the five 7" single releases by The Who on the Reaction label during that important year in the band's early history. Each of the discs has been faithfully recreated with authentic replicas of the original sleeves, pressed on heavyweight audiophile vinyl with die-cut centre holes.
The box includes such signature songs as "Substitute," "Happy Jack" and "I'm a Boy," as well as the Ready Steady Who EP and other tracks. It is housed in a full color, rigid outer box, containing a 7" sized eight-page color booklet with liner notes about each release by Who biographer Mark Blake.
The releases encompasses the period in which The Who broke their contract with producer Shel Talmy and Brunswick Records, and signed a temporary deal with the independent Reaction label, run by their agent Robert Stigwood. In March 1966, just before Brunswick released "A Legal Matter" without the band's permission, they released their own new single, "Substitute," with "Circles" as the B-side.
The disagreement with Talmy led to the "Substitute" single being withdrawn, and it was then reissued a week later with "Circles" retitled "Instant Party." When "Substitute" appeared for a third time, it had another different B-side, the instrumental "Waltz For A Pig." This was credited to The Who Orchestra, but actually featured another of Stigwood's clients, the Graham Bond Organisation. "Substitute" went on to a No. 5 peak in the UK, and returned to the top ten a decade later, reaching No. 7 on reissue in autumn 1976.
The title of "Ready Steady Who" was inspired by the hit pop show "Ready Steady Go," on which the band made regular appearances. It included "Circles" as the lead track, accompanied on the A-side by the new Pete Townshend composition "Disguises." The EP's flipside featured the whimsical cover of the "Batman" TV show theme, which The Who often played live, as well as versions of two of surf music fan Keith Moon's favorite songs: Jan And Dean's "Bucket T" and the Beach Boys' recent hit "Barbara Ann."

Denham Votes to Stop Human Trafficking in the Central Valley
WASHINGTON — Today U.S. Representative Jeff Denham (R-Turlock) voted to fight human trafficking with a series of new prevention and law enforcement measures. Aimed at ending this $32 billion-a-year industry, Rep. Denham supported five bills that will boost resources for law enforcement agencies, strengthen protection for children and support victims of this horrendous offense.
"As a father, I can't imagine anything more horrible than what the parents of these exploited children go through," said Rep. Denham. "Human trafficking unfortunately remains a widespread and tragic occurrence across the Central Valley. Reports show that our state is one of the nation's top four destinations for trafficked beings. The bills I supported today will help to eliminate this practice and keep our children safe."
This injustice unfortunately goes heavily underreported as victims stay silent due to fear of possible repercussions from perpetrators. Because a large portion of these crimes are conducted online, the ability to track down and apprehend criminals is becoming increasingly more difficult.
These bills provide law enforcement tracking this despicable practice with new tools to catch predators, encourage states to help victims recover with safe harbor laws and increased access to protective services, require states to work to identify victims of sex trafficking among foster care youth, ensure that destination countries are notified when a known sex trafficker is traveling to their country and make it a federal crime to knowingly advertise for commercial sex exploitation.
In light of the recent kidnappings of hundreds of girls in Nigeria and reports of as many as 300,000 American children at risk of being trafficked, these types of measures are more pressing than ever.
"We can all agree that even one child suffering from this heinous practice is one too many," said Rep. Denham.

A new era begins in the lands of Azeroth
Articles World of Warcraft: Cataclysm
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is the third expansion set for World of Warcraft, the popular MMORPG developed by Blizzard.
Set mainly in the two continents of Azeroth, the story in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm begins with the return of the evil Dragon Aspect Deathwing the Destroyer from Deepholm. The arrival of this scary creature will cause a catastrophic world event – known as The Shattering – which will change the lands of Azeroth forever.
Besides adding a new plot line to the game's history, World of Warcraft: Cataclysm brings lots of new features to the game: two new playable races (Worgen for the Alliance and Goblins for the Horde), five new zones (Hyjal, Vashj'ir, Uldum, Deepholm, and Twilight Highlands) and several new dungeons, among others. Also, top character level has been raised to 85 and top profession level to 525.
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm makes this popular MMORPG more open to casual players, thanks to the addition of hundreds of quests and a larger number of possible combinations between races and professions. World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is essentially easier to manage and therefore more enjoyable. Hardcore players, meanwhile, will have to be content with having more difficult challenges when completing levels and dungeons – and of course, obtaining more valuable rewards for it.
Regarding graphics, World of Warcraft: Cataclysm sticks to the original style but adapts it to the new graphic cards available on the market. There's much more detail in landscapes and characters, which means higher system requirements. It's a small price to pay for what has become the most popular online game in the world.
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm brings new adventures, new characters and new lands to explore to the world of Azeroth.
- Two new playable races
- Five new areas to explore
- Many new dungeons
- May not be that challenging for hardcore players
- System requirements are now higher

What breed do you use to get such perfectly fuzzy cows/bulls? I am aware they must clip them to get them that perfect but they look like cowdooles (cow poodles).
Printable View
What breed do you use to get such perfectly fuzzy cows/bulls? I am aware they must clip them to get them that perfect but they look like cowdooles (cow poodles).
Looks like they were clipped and blow dried.
Show stables do that.
Some groom for the public at shows and state fairs also, as that one ad seems to offer.
um, if you clipped them, they would NOT be that fuzzy. And the tan one that is in the last picture if photoshopped. Look by the top of his tail. The legs also do not have that much hair.
Those breeds (angus and hereford) are not that fuzzy, even when bathed adn blow dried.
I just saw a show on RFD-TV -- well, basically it was an infomercial for show cattle grooming products -- where some guy was giving a clinic on how to spiff up your cow. They clip and curry and hairspray the heck out of those animals. But I think they're just regular old Angus and Hereford breeds.
I was refering to them being perfectly shaped .. i guess trim was a better word.
I was wondering if photoshop was involved at all in these pics
That Hereford is nothing to write home about - back isn't level like it should be. I've never seen legs like that on ANY common breed of beef cattle
OK, I would really like to snuggle one of those cows! So cuddley looking!
Heheheh they sure are cute.
My cousins always did the 4H thing and raised cattle that they showed at the fair. Pre – fair grooming was a big to do. Yes, blow dryers, and hair sprays (some colored) were involved – the "poof" up the hair in desirable areas etc – to show the cow to its best.
Now, that was in the summer, when the coat was short and slick except for certain areas of the chest etc.
I noticed that ALL of these photos show snow on the ground – winter pictures, when the animals would be in full coats. Wash – blow dry to full fluffyness – then just so carefully clip to create smooth lines – just like a show poodle. I think that is why it looks "photo shopped", they have been clipped (not like you clip a horse, like you clip a poodle) to create artificially smooth lines.
the CL poster offers show fitting as a service.what you see as "fuzzy" are well turned out show cattle whose hair is blow dried backward and frozen in place with an industrial freeze spray...a good fitter can fill in places that are lacking,make legs look straighter,deepen the frame,all sorts of things.
^^^^ I thought the first one was fake LOL
I know nothing about cow conformation. What is the standard for good conformation? Do you have a pic?
every breed is different...
the basics for beef breeds are bodies that are deep and not excessively long,long deep hips,good bone,feminine heads for cows,masculine expressions for bulls,heavy low legs and so on...
A lot of them are kept in air conditioned barns to get them to grow their hair out and then blow dried and groomed to look like that.
Yup, all you got to do is carve the perfectly shaped cow out of the fuzz pile. ;)
I remember they used to tease and rat the tails into perfect spheres.
They're so . . so . . POOFY. Snort has that long Cushing's coat and it wouldn't be too hard to get his body to look like that, so soft and plush (but then I guess if you are using Frozen Stiff it ain't too plush), but the legs!
We used to look at the dairy cows at the fair and see the kids primping and fussing but I guess there are Pro stylists out there too!
Tamara is 100% correct. Plus, the really serious "fitters" will hose cattle down with cold water to encourage more hair growth. All that hair and the right grooming equipment will hide a multitude of sins!!!
Yep, lots of blow drying against the lay of the hair, puff/pull up coat with hair spray/gel along the back/rear & haunches, tease end of tail into a ball (but I haven't seen that lately). Also we would do a Hershey's kiss shape on the poll.
Cattle fitting is fun! With the beef cattle, the goal is to make them look as blocky as possible.
This summer I was watching showmanship, and now that I have a dark horse, I was miffed at how black the cattle stay all summer, even though they are outside. Why can't my horse be the same non-fading color...boo.
Yes, some do augment cattle colors, but these were locals & mostly they stay nice and black out in the field.
A friend of our family is one of those fitters, mostly bulls. I don't think he does any of the tricks to encourage a winter coat though, Montana winter does a perfectly good job of that. I thought the winter coat growth was from the hours of light, not temperatures, anyway.
a story goes in the purebred cattle world that in the 1980's the Japanese were spending the cash buying registered stock and came to <insert big big big breeder's> farm...
he showed them over the course of the morning several bulls in the fields, broke for lunch and promised the the "nice" bulls' viewing after lunch.
so they went to the "show barn" and in the padded seats and in the fragrant bed of shavings.... the epitome of bovine masculine perfection came forth...
oooohs were ooohed
ahhhhhs were ahhhed
EPD's were poured over
heads were bent in study and then
smiles burst forth like the sunlight
and a big ole hog leg of a check was written
a friend of <insert big name breeders name> said "good god where were you hiding him??"
says big breeder...."I decided which one they should have when they saw him in the field this morning...I gave the men "the sign" and they cleaned him up while we were eating lunch...it's all about the fitting son,it's all about the fitting...." :>
thus endeth the tale
Tamara in TN
it is both the air conditioned barns are also mostly pitch black

Perseverare Diabolicum
Yesterday the Council decided that Spain and Portugal's recent efforts to reduce deficit were not enough. This may lead to the two countries being fined, the first time this would happen since the inception of the euro.
It is likely that the fine will be symbolic, or none at all; given the current macroeconomic situation, imposing a further burden on the public finances of
these two any country would be crazy.
Yet, the decision is in my opinion enraging. First, for political reasons: Our
world is crumbling. The level of confidence in political elites is at record low levels, and as the Brexit case shows, this fuels disintegration forces. It is hard not to see a link between these processes and, in Europe, the dismal political and economic performances we managed to put together in the last decade (you are free pick your example, I will pick the refugee crisis (mis) management, and the austerity-induced double-dip recession).
But hey, one might say. We are not here to save the world, we are here to apply the rules. Rules that require fiscal discipline. And of course, both Portugal and Spain have been fiscal sinners since the crisis began (and of course before):
Once we neglect interest payments, on which there is little a government can do besides hoping that they ECB will keep helping, both countries spectacularly reduced their deficit since 2010. And this is true whether we take the headline figures (total deficit, the dashed line), or the structural figures that the Commission cherishes, i.e. deficit net of cyclical components (the solid lines). Looking at this figure one may wonder what they serve to drink during Council (and Commission) meetings, for them to argue that the fiscal effort was insufficient…
What is even more enraging, is that not only this effort was not recognized as remarkable by EU authorities. But what is more, it was harmful for these economies (and for the Eurozone at large).
In the following table I have put side by side the output gaps and fiscal impulse, the best measure of discretionary policy changes1. I have highlighted in green all the years in which the fiscal stance was countercyclical, meaning that a negative (positive) output gap triggered a more expansionary (contractionary) fiscal stance. And in red cases in which the fiscal stance was procyclical, i.e. in which it made matters worse.
|Output Gap and Discretionary Fiscal Policy Stance
|Output Gap
|Fiscal Impulse
|Output Gap
|Fiscal Impulse
|Output Gap
|Fiscal Impulse
|Source: Datastream – AMECO Database
|Note: Fiscal Impulse computed as change of cyclically adjusted deficit net of interest
The reader will judge by himself. Just two remarks. linked to the fines put in place. First, the Portuguese fiscal contraction of 2015-2016 is procyclical, as the output gap was and still is negative. On the other hand, Spain has increased its structural deficit, but it had excellent reasons to do so.
One may argue that the table causes problems, because the calculation of the output gap is arbitrary and political in nature. Granted, I could not agree more. So I took headline figures, and compared the "gross" fiscal impulse with the "growth gap", meaning the difference between the actual growth rate and the 3% level that was assumed to be normal when the Maastricht Treaty was signed (If you are curious about EMU numerology, just look here). This is of course a harsher criterion, as 3% as nowadays become more a mirage than a realistic objective. But hey, if we want to use the rules, we should take them together with their underlying hypotheses. Here is the table:
|Growth Gap and Overall Fiscal Policy Stance
|Growth Gap to 3%
|Fiscal Impulse
|Growth Gap to 3%
|Fiscal Impulse
|Growth Gap to 3%
|Fiscal Impulse
|Source: Datastream – AMECO Database
|Note: Fiscal Impulse computed as change of government deficit net of interest
Lot's of red, isn't it? Faced with a structural growth deficit, the EMU at large, as well as Spain and Portugal, has had an excessively restrictive fiscal stance. I know, no real big news here.
To summarize, the decision to fine Portugal and Spain is politically ill-timed and clumsy. And it is economically unwarranted. And yet, here we are, discussing it. My generation grew up thinking that When The World Is Running Down, You Make The Best of What's Still Around. In Brussels, no matter how bad things get, it is business as usual.
1. The fiscal impulse is computed as the negative of the change in deficit. As such it captures the change in the fiscal stance. Just to make an example, going from a deficit of 1% to a deficit of 5% is more expansionary than going form a deficit of 10% to a deficit of 11%↩.
My Grain of Salt on Brexit and on the Risk of XXxit
Much has been said, already, and even more will be said in the coming hours/days/weeks/months/years, on Brexit. I have little to add. So here is what I see as a series of notes to self. For those who are already tired of reading pages and pages, I can summarize what follows in a sentence: We should focus more on policies than on institutions
- The long lasting skepticism about the EU that always permeated British society across the board, has eventually been compounded by the recent dreadful performance of EU member states in managing the crises that have hit our communities. A sparse and incomplete list would include the stubborn insistence on the wrong policy mix (austerity cum reforms) which yielded a double-dip recession that no other large economy experienced in the past decade; the obsession with debt and deficits when the economy was in desperate need for public support to aggregate demand; the despise of democracy shown when dealing with the Greek referendum last summer; the slow moving ECB that only took action years (not weeks, years) after the other central banks; the bullying of small countries in crisis, in negotiations that really were not one, but rather a take-it-or-leave-it; and finally, maybe the mother of all policy mistakes, the cynical and illogical management of refugees crisis. Show that to voters who always were half in and half out, and it is no surprise that they want to walk away.
- The EU has been made the scapegoat for choices of the UK government, that was reelected just a few months ago. Osborne and Cameron embraced austerity and government downsizing wholeheartedly, they did not need the EU for this. If it is these policies that the British voters wanted to sanction, then they cast their vote in the wrong elections.
- Which brings me to those who today happily see Brexit as the beginning of the end of the EU, and with it of austerity and reforms. I am afraid they are delusional here. Neoliberal policies existed before the EU, and they will exist after. They are the making of governments (and academics), that will not vanish together with the EU. Rather the contrary. Let's not forget that one of the main selling points of the Leave camp has been that EU regulation chokes UK businesses. If you want to scrap neoliberal policies, rather than fighting the EU, that is a mere vehicle, you should fight the governments that propose them . Remind me of that old story about looking at the finger rather than at the moon?
- My feeling is, and I am afraid to be proven right, that the disintegration of the EU would make it harder to protect social justice, workers' right, the welfare state. Small countries would be even more exposed than the EU as a whole to competitive pressure from the rest of the world. And competitive pressure in the past never turned out to work in favour of labour and wages.
- The fact that neoliberalism has very little to do with the EU is proven by the rise of populism well beyond our borders. The global problem is an increasingly dysfunctional economic system. If you kill growth and prosperity, if you increase the social divide, if you boost inequality, then it is no surprise that the first guy saying "life was better before" is given a chance by voters. In normal times, a somebody like Farage (or Le Pen, or Trump, or Salvini) would have very little traction with the voters. Today they give the cards of the political game. And in Europe the game is made easier by the existence of a perfect scapegoat, that is far and immaterial, the EU.
- This is why I would also resist the temptation to blame the voters as irresponsible, conservative, irrational, nostalgic, uneducated. The age or education divide of the Brexit referendum is all over the web. But I see them both as proxies for the really relevant divide, which is between the winners and the losers of the past few decades. The same divide that emerges in the US (where paradoxically the losers put faith in the typical winner), and in all the other EU countries.
- How to win the hearths and minds of the losers? How to claim their confidence back? Should that not be by definition the essence of a progressive agenda? The way out is to end harmful policies, and to re-transform the EU into a symbol of social progress. Easier said than done, of course; but I see no alternative. What I have been writing in this blog since 2011 tries to explore possible ways to do so. We should stop looking at institutions (the Stability Pact, the euro), and focus on policies, fighting the wrong ones and supporting the right ones. EU institutions are certainly dysfunctional. They are certainly biased towards excessive reliance on market mechanisms (that prove over and over again how far they are from the academic ideal of perfect efficiency). But once again, they can be twisted, and even changed, if only a political will to do so emerges. In a sentence, even within the current institutional framework, if there was a clear political consensus towards abandoning austerity, we could do so. The problem, I will never get tired of repeating it, is not the Stability Pact. The problem are governments that fail to put it on hold or even to change it.
- (This is just a sharper restatement of 4). We should stop fighting the EU (or the euro) as the cause of our troubles. We should spot the forces that within each country fight for a radical change in policies, and work to give them a majority. If we do so, the EU will cease to be a problem, and will hopefully become again a force of progress. If we don't, no Brexit or XXxit will bring to us prosperity. Rather the contrary.
- Of course I am thinking in particular of large countries. The Syriza experience in Greece proves that "rejection of austerity in a single country", especially if it is small and in trouble, cannot work. A new paradigm for policy making should emerge in France, in Germany, in Italy. That would allow a meaningful debate at the European scale.
- All this said, given how self-referential are our elites, how self-indulgent, how superficial in their approach to policy, my "gloominess" is doomed to persist.
Pushing on a String
Readers of this blog know that I have been skeptical on the ECB quantitative easing program.
I said many times that the eurozone economy is in a liquidity trap, and that making credit cheaper and more abundant would not be a game changer. Better than nothing, (especially for its impact on the exchange rate, the untold objective of the ECB), but certainly not a game changer.
The reason, is quite obvious. No matter how cheap credit is, if there is no demand for it from consumers and firms, the huge liquidity injections of the ECB will end up inflating some asset bubble. Trying to boost economic activity (and inflation) with QE is tantamount to pushing on a string.
I also said many times that without robust expansionary fiscal policy, recovery will at best be modest.
Two very recent ECB surveys provide strong evidence in favour of the liquidity trap narrative. The first is the latest (April 2016) Eurozone Bank Lending Survey. Here is a quote from the press release:
The net easing of banks' overall terms and conditions on new loans continued for loans to enterprises and intensified for housing loans and consumer credit, mainly driven by a further narrowing of loan margins.
So, nothing surprising here. QE and negative rates are making so expensive for financial institutions to hold liquidity, that credit conditions keep easing.
So why do we not see economic activity and inflation pick up? The answer is on the other side of the market, credit demand. And the Survey on the Access to Finance of Enterprises in the euro area, published this week also by the ECB, provides a clear and loud answer (from p. 10):
"Finding customers" was the dominant concern for euro area SMEs in this survey period, with 27% of euro area SMEs mentioning this as their main problem, up from 25% in the previous survey round. "Access to finance" was considered the least important concern (10%, down from 11%), after "Regulation", "Competition" and "Cost of production" (all 14%) and "Availability of skilled labour" (17%). Among SMEs, access to finance was a more important problem for micro enterprises (12%). For large enterprises, "Finding customers" (28%) was reported as the dominant concern, followed by "Availability of skilled labour" (18%) and "Competition" (17%). "Access to finance" was mentioned less frequently as an important problem for large firms (7%, unchanged from the previous round)
No need to comment, right?
Just a final and quick remark, that in my opinion deserves to be developed further: finding skilled labour seems to become harder in European countries. What if these were the first signs of a deterioration of our stock of "human capital" (horrible expression), after eight years of crisis that have reduced training, skill building, etc.?
When sooner or later the crisis will really be over, it will be worth keeping an eye on "Availability of skilled labour" for quite some time.
Tell me again that story about structural reforms enhancing potential growth?
On the Importance of Fiscal Policy
Last week's data on EMU growth have triggered quite a bit of comments. I was intrigued by Paul Krugman's piece arguing (a) that in per capita terms the EMU performance is not as bad (he uses working age population, I used total population); and (b) that the path of the EMU was similar to that of the US in the first phase of the crisis; and (c) that divergence started only in 2011, due to differences in monetary policy (an impeccable disaster here, much more reactive in the US). Fiscal policy, Krugman argues, was equally contractionary across the ocean.
I pretty much agree that the early policy response to the crisis was similar, and that divergence started only when the global crisis went European, after the Greek elections of October 2009. But I am puzzled (and it does not happen very often) by Krugman's dismissal of austerity as a factor explaining different performances. True, at first sight, fiscal consolidation kicked in at the same moment in the US and in Europe. I computed the fiscal impulse, using changes in the cyclically adjusted primary deficit. In other words, by taking away the cyclical component, and interest payment, we can obtain the closest possible measure to the discretionary fiscal stance of a government. And here is what it gives:
Krugman is certainly right that austerity was widespread in 2011 and in 2012 (actually more in the US). So what is the problem?
The problem is that fiscal consolidation needs not to be assessed in isolation, but in relation to the environment in which it takes place. First, it started one year earlier in the EMU (look at the bars for 2010). Second, expansion had been more robust in the US in 2008 and in 2009, thus avoiding that the economy slid too much: having been bolder and more effective in 2008-2010, continued fiscal expansion was less necessary in 2011-12.
I remember Krugman arguing at the time that the recovery would have been stronger and faster if the fiscal stance in the US had remained expansionary. I agreed then and I agree now: government support to the economy was withdrawn when the private sector was only partially in condition to take the witness. But to me it is just a question of degree and of timing in reversing a fiscal policy stance that overall had been effective.
I had made the same point back in 2013. Here is, updated from that post, the correlation between public and private expenditure:
|Correlation Between Public and Private Expenditure
Remember, a positive correlation means that fiscal policy moves together with private expenditure, and fails to act countercyclically. The table tells us that public expenditure in the US was withdrawn only when private expenditure could take the witness, and never was procylclical (it turned neutral in the past 2 years). Europe is a whole different story. Fiscal contraction began when the private sector was not ready to take the witness; the withdrawal of public demand therefore led to a plunge in economic activity and to the double dip recession that the US did not experience. Here is the figure from the same post, also updated:
To sum up: the fiscal stance in the US was appropriate, even if it changed a bit too hastily in 2011. In Europe, it was harmful since 2010.
And monetary policy in all this? It did not help in Europe. I join Krugman in believing that once the economy was comfortably installed in the liquidity trap Mario Draghi's activism while necessary was (and is) far from sufficient. Being more timely, the Fed played an important role with its aggressive monetary policy, that started precisely in 2012. It supported the expansion of private demand, and minimized the risk of a reversal when the withdrawal of fiscal policy begun. But in both cases I am unsure that monetary policy could have made a difference without fiscal policy. Let's not forget that a first round of aggressive monetary easing in 2007-2008 had been successful in keeping the financial sector afloat, but not in avoiding the recession. This is why in 2009 most economies launched robust fiscal stimulus plans. I see no reason to believe that, in 2010-2012, more appropriate and timely ECB action would have made a big difference. The problem is fiscal, fiscal, fiscal.
Stronger than expected GDP growth in France and Spain (0.5% and 0.8% in 2016Q1, 0.1% more than expected!) has boosted Eurozone GDP to a staggering +0.6% in the first quarter of 2016. The Financial Times notes that GDP is now above its pre-crisis level. I expect, in the next few days, celebrations in some quarters.
So, just a reminder:
The figure speaks for itself. While we had a lost decade (eight-ade), The US and the OECD as a whole were out of the woods in 2011Q2. Our neighbours across the Channel in 2013Q2. Furthermore, we were the only ones to go through a double dip recession, and are the only ones still fighting with deflationary pressures.
Of course, if we look at per capita GDP (warning, I constructed it myself, simply dividing real GDP by population on January 1st), the lost decade may materialize after all:
I added Greece as a second reminder. The country is back at case one, in yet another round of difficult negotiations. And I do believe that remembering what they have endured may help
So, tell me again, what should we be celebrating?
The Sin of Central Bankers
I read, a bit late, a very interesting piece by Simon Wren-Lewis, who blames central bankers for three major mistakes: (1) They did not see the crisis coming, while they were the only one in the position to see the build-up of leverage; (2) They did not warn governments that at the Zero Lower Bound central banks would lose traction and could not protect the economy from the disasters of austerity. (3) They may be rushing in declaring that we are back to normal, thus attributing all the current slack to a deterioration of the supply side of the economy.
What surprises me is (2), for which I quote Wren-Lewis in full:
Of course the main culprit for the slow recovery from the Great Recession was austerity, by which I mean premature fiscal consolidation. But the slow recovery also reflects a failure of monetary policy. In my view the biggest failure occurred very early on in the recession. Monetary policy makers should have said very clearly, both to politicians and to the public, that with interest rates at their lower bound they could no longer do their job effectively, and that fiscal stimulus would have helped them do that job. Central banks might have had the power to prevent austerity happening, but they failed to use it.
The way Wren-Lewis writes it, central banks were not involved in the push towards fiscal consolidation, and their "only" sin was of not being vocal enough. I think he is too nice. At least in the Eurozone, the ECB was a key actor in pushing austerity. It was directly involved in the Trojka designing the rescue packages that sunk Greece (and the EMU with it). But more importantly, the ECB contributed to design and impose the Berlin View narrative that fiscal profligacy was at the roots of the crisis, so that rebalancing would have to be on the shoulders of fiscal sinners alone. We should not forget that "impeccable disaster" Jean-Claude Trichet was one of the main supporters of the confidence fairy: credible austerity would magically lift expectations, pushing private expenditure and triggering the recovery. He was the President of the ECB when central banks made the second mistake. And I really have a hard time picturing him warning against the risks of austerity at the zero lower bound.
And things are not drastically different now. True, Mario Draghi often calls for fiscal support to the ECB quantitative easing program. But as I argued at length, calling for fiscal policy within the existing rules' framework has no real impact.
So I disagree with Wren-Lewis on this one. Central banks, or at least the ECB, did not simply fail to contrast the problem of wrongheaded austerity. They were, and may still be, part of the problem.
The problem is one of economic doctrine. And as long as this does not change, I am unsure that removing central bank independence would have made a difference. Would a Bank of England controlled by Chancellor Osborne have been more vocal against austerity? Would an ECB controlled by the Ecofin? Nothing is less sure…
Convergence no More
As a complement to the latest post, here is a quite eloquent figure
I computed real GDP of the periphery (Spain-Ireland-Portugal-Greece) and of the core (Germany-Netherlands-Austria-Finland), and then I took the difference of yearly growth rates in three subperiods that correspond to the run-up to the single currency, to the euro "normal times", and to the crisis.
Let's focus on the red bar: until 2008 the periphery on average grew more than 1% faster than the core, a difference that was even larger during the debt (private and public) frenzy of the years 2000. Was that a problem? No. Convergence, or catch-up, is a standard feature of growth. Usually (but remember, exceptions are the rule in economics), poorer economies tend to grow faster because there are more opportunities for high productivity growth. So it is not inconceivable that growth in the periphery was consistently higher than in the core especially in a phase of increasing trade and financial integration;
We all know (now; and some knew even then) that this was unhealthy because imbalances were building up, which eventually led to the crisis. But it is important to realize that the problem were the imbalances, not necessarily faster growth. In fact, if we look at the yellow bar depicting the difference in potential growth, it shows the same pattern (I know, the concept of potential growth is unreliable. But hey, if it underlies fiscal rules, I have the right to graph it, right?).
During the crisis the periphery suffered more than the core, and its potential output grew less
fell more. This is magnified by the mechanic effect of current growth that "pulls" potential output. But it is undeniable that the productive capacity of the periphery (capital, skills) has been dented by the crisis, much more so than in the core. Thus, not only we are collectively more fragile, as I noted last Monday;on top of that, the next shock will hurt the periphery more than the core, further deepening the divide.
The EMU in its current design lacks mechanisms capable of neutralizing pressure towards divergence. It was believed when the Maastricht Treaty was signed that markets alone would ensure convergence. It turns out (unsurprisingly, if you ask me) that markets not only did not ensure convergence. But they were actually a powerful force of divergence, first contributing to the buildup of imbalances, then by fleeing the periphery when trouble started.
Markets do not act as shock absorbers. It is as simple as that, really.

Space weather starts at the sun. It begins with an eruption such as a huge burst of light and radiation called a solar flare or a gigantic cloud of solar material called a coronal mass ejection (CME). But the effects of those eruptions happen at +Earth, or at least near-Earth space. Scientists monitor several kinds of space "weather" events -- geomagnetic storms, solar radiation storms, and radio blackouts – all caused by these immense explosions on the sun
Geomagnetic Storms
One of the most common forms of space weather, a geomagnetic storm refers to any time Earth's magnetic environment, the magnetosphere, undergoes sudden and repeated change. This is a time when magnetic fields continually re-align and energy dances quickly from one area to another.
Geomagnetic storms occur when certain types of CMEs connect up with the outside of the magnetosphere for an extended period of time. The solar material in a CME travels with its own set of magnetic fields. If the fields point northward, they align with the magnetosphere's own fields and the energy and particles simply slide around Earth, causing little change. But if the magnetic fields point southward, in the opposite direction of Earth's fields, the effects can be dramatic. The sun's magnetic fields peel back the outermost layers of Earth's fields changing the whole shape of the magnetosphere. This is the initial phase of a geomagnetic storm.
The next phase, the main phase, can last hours to days, as charged particles sweeping into the magnetosphere accumulate more energy and more speed. These particles penetrate closer and closer to the planet. During this phase viewers on Earth may see bright aurora at lower latitudes than usual. The increase – and lower altitude – of radiation can also damage satellites traveling around Earth.
The final stage of a geomagnetic storm lasts a few days as the magnetosphere returns to its original state.
Geomagnetic storms do not always require a CME. Mild storms can also be caused by something called a corotating interaction region (CIR). These intense magnetic regions form when high-speed solar winds overtake slower ones, thus creating complicated patterns of fluctuating magnetic fields. These, too, can interact with the edges of Earth's magnetosphere and create weak to moderate geomagnetic storms.
Geomagnetic storms are measured by ground-based instruments that observe how much the horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field varies. Based on this measurement, the storms are categorized from G1 (minor) to G5 (extreme). In the most extreme cases transformers in power grids may be damaged, spacecraft operation and satellite tracking can be hindered, high frequency radio propagation and satellite navigation systems can be blocked, and auroras may appear much further south than normal.
Solar Radiation Storms
A solar radiation storm, which is also sometimes called a solar energetic particle (SEP) event, is much what it sounds like: an intense inflow of radiation from the sun. Both CME's and solar flares can carry such radiation, made up of protons and other charged particles. The radiation is blocked by the magnetosphere and atmosphere, so cannot reach humans on Earth. Such a storm could, however, harm humans traveling from Earth to the moon or Mars, though it has little to no effect on airplane passengers or astronauts within Earth's magnetosphere. Solar radiation storms can also disturb the regions through which high frequency radio communications travel. Therefore, during a solar radiation storm, airplanes traveling routes near the poles – which cannot use GPS, but rely exclusively on radio communications – may be re-routed.
Solar radiation storms are rated on a scale from S1 (minor) to S5 (extreme), determined by how many very energetic, fast solar particles move through a given space in the atmosphere. At their most extreme, solar radiation storms can cause complete high frequency radio blackouts, damage to electronics, memory and imaging systems on satellites, and radiation poisoning to astronauts outside of Earth's magnetosphere.
Radio Blackouts
Radio blackouts occur when the strong, sudden burst of x-rays from a solar flare hits Earth's atmosphere, jamming both high and low frequency radio signals. The X-rays disturb a layer of Earth's atmosphere known as the ionosphere, through which radio waves travel. The constant changes in the ionosphere change the paths of the radio waves as they move, thus degrading the information they carry. This affects both high and low frequency radio waves alike. The loss of low frequency radio communication causes GPS measurements to be off by feet to miles, and can also affect the applications that govern satellite positioning.
Radio blackouts are rated on a scale from R1 (minor) to R5 (extreme). The strongest radio blackouts can result in no radio communication and faulty GPS for hours at a time.

Boomers wrapping up water park construction
Boomers Irvine is putting the finishing touches on Buccaneer Cove, a pirate-themed water park.
The 19,000-square-foot attraction will feature water slides, tunnels and spray cannons, topped with a water-dumping bucket. Cabanas with food service will be available for rental.
Buccaneer Cove general admission will be $19.99 and the park will offer summer season passes.
Buccaneer Cove is intended for families with children of all ages, said senior sales manager Becky Sigmond. Absent will be long and fast slides guests would find at parks such as Raging Waters in San Dimas.
Construction is on schedule, with the park slated to open in late July, Sigmond said. About 30 to 40 employees will be hired to staff the new facility. Boomers is at 3405 Michelson Drive.
Boomers' owner, Newport Beach-based Palace Entertainment, said it decided to go ahead with the project after several surveys showed customer thirst for a water park.
A pirate theme has been successful at other Palace Entertainment amusement parks, Sigmond said. Buccaneer Cove at the company's Castle Park in Riverside has been a success, she said.
Wild Rivers, an Irvine water park that closed in 2011 to make room for a new housing project, is expected to be rebuilt adjacent to the Orange County Great Park and open by May.
Sigmond said she doesn't mind the potential competition.
"I think there is enough room for two water parks (in Irvine)," she said.

Welp…because y'all insisted on making Jeremy Meeks' a star, his family went out and hired a manager for him! This is troubling on several levels… but we digress.
However, according to TMZ, the most upsetting part of it is that his new manager is already getting death threats from alleged gang members! Yeah let that marinate!
TMZ was told that his manager received around 30 harassing phone calls from "gangster-sounding people" (WHAT does that mean?) and one person allegedly repeatedly threatened to blow her head off by saying she deserved to die.
The manager has reportedly filed a report with the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept.
How dreamy….or not.

Lemon Kush - Hybrid
Lemon Kush is an amazing strain known for excellent flavors, especially when grown organically. The breeder remains mysterious, but there is nothing to be questioned about these dense, frosted buds that provide a long-lasting, lung-destroying high. This bud is a cross of Master Kush and Lemon Joy, providing a potent indica-dominant effect.

Bubba OG - Indica
Bubba OG Kush is a must-have strain, but honestly if you haven't tried it yet you probably are living under a rock or on the East Coast - in which case it's not your fault. Bred by Breeder's Choice Organization, this potent indica-dominant strain will cause you to think about devouring your entire kitchen and then some. Bubba Kush has buds that are medium-sized and tight, dark-green buds. They are also completely infested with trichromes when grown as top-shelf bud.

Benjamin HodgeShared publicly -
The Supreme Court appropriately ruled: the US Ag. Dept. simply cannot take a farmer's produce without payment. Disagreeing: Pres. Obama & the Court's four Democratic justices. Justice Sonia Sotomayor literally said that the constitution lets the government take your property without fair compensation - just as long as they don't take all of it and they leave you some. The other three Democratic justices agreed with the final decision, but they preferred that the farmer's 13-year-old case continue in a lower court, which would have also decided whether to approve the US. Ag. Dept.'s $700.000 fine against the farmer.
The Supreme Court sided with a renegade raisin farmer in his battle against a federal program designed to keep excess raisins off the market.
