GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney -- less than impressed with the jobs report out this morning he joined fox and friends with his reaction.
Take a lesson.
Well we should be saying members in the 500000 jobs created per month this is way way way off from what should happen in a normal recovery.
The reason that you're seeing the unemployment rate go down is because you have more people dropping out of the workforce.
-- you have getting jobs it's a it's a terrible and very disappointing report this morning.
Let's bring in Wayne Ross is chairman of white Roger think company joining us now from Pensacola Florida -- -- it.
Birth can we get -- -- 100000 jobs a month and how.
Well I'd be very difficult in the short -- in the short run it's gonna take a long time for example you take the construction industry where we've lost a lot of jobs over an extended period of time.
Why because the housing business is down now.
Arguments as well demand for housing is going up yes that's true when you've seen certain housing stocks rise recently.
All of that is true but at the same time that -- -- constricted from blended.
So you're not go to see a lot of house purchasing going on there -- demand for housing but isn't the demand for the money to.
Create -- thousand.
That makes won't -- because of the new -- so it's it's and it's have been terrible problem because you've got systemic loss in the in the job market from that.
You haven't in a number of industries and allow this by the way this they point 1% data which shows that -- its declining the rate of hiring as Romney pointed out.
Is decreasing so is a consequence what you have -- people who have left the market and these numbers hide some of that.
How do you get them back end and -- we are we in danger of a negative cycle developing where people get so discourage and then they see these numbers.
And -- these numbers of people leaving the workforce continue to Paula.
Well I I think I think yeah I don't know that you turn it around so quickly look at don't -- -- big idea.
-- sudden -- certain jobs that have gone overseas are never coming back for example you take the apparel industry -- New York City you talk about they.
Garment center.
There is -- garment center any mark all of those jobs are gone they've been gone for probably half a generation.
They will be gone forever because until such time because you have to train those people of those people require.
I certain skill level if they have -- for a generation that skill level is disappeared.
And that's true in many industries the guy who does rivets and does those that he's gone he's replaced by a guy who operates a numerically controlled -- if he's not trained properly that job is gone forever.
When it was good to talk to you will see very saying you'd be well have a great weekend and I hope the weather -- thing on me in Pensacola.
And half thank you -- it is a gavel coming up.

Police, Safety Groups to Offer Safety Seat Checkpoints Statewide
HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- State Police and PennDOT are encouraging motorists to participate in free child passenger safety seat checkups throughout Pennsylvania as the agencies mark National Child Passenger Safety Week, Sept. 15 – 21.
In addition, Saturday, Sept. 21, 2013, has been designated as "National Seat Check Saturday."
"I urge all parents and caregivers to get their seats checked, because using the right seat in the right position is so important to children's safety," PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch said. "Anyone who transports children has the responsibility to make sure they're legally and correctly secured – that's why we work with police and safety partners to make child safety resources available year-round."
PennDOT funds resources such as training and educational materials for 145 fitting stations across Pennsylvania, at which more than 5,000 car seats were checked last year. The checkups are designed to teach drivers the proper installation and use of child safety seats.
"Our first priority must be to protect the safety of our most precious cargo every time we get behind the wheel," Pennsylvania State Police Lieutenant Colonel George L. Bivens said. "Traffic crashes are among the leading causes of death in Pennsylvania, and educating the public about the proper use of child safety seats plays an important role in saving lives."
Each of the department's troops will conduct at least one safety seat check during the week, Bivens said. The seat checks are designed to teach drivers the proper installation and use of child safety seats.
"Child safety seats will save lives, but only when they are installed and used properly," Bivens said.
Pennsylvania law requires that children under the age of 4 ride in a federally approved car seat that is appropriate for the child's age, height and weight. Children between the ages of 4 and 8 must use a booster seat if they are no longer in a car seat.
The state's seat belt law mandates that children ages 8 to 17 must use a seat belt, and violating this law is a primary offense. It is a secondary offense for drivers and front seat passengers age 18 and older to travel unbuckled.
Because of the potential dangers associated with air bag deployment, children ages 12 and under should always ride in a vehicle's back seat.
The State Police Bureau of Patrol also offered the following tips:

Justin Timberlake Gossip
Justin Timberlake gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
JT presents to TF
WeirPhotos / Splash News, FameFlynet, WENN
Justin Timberlake honoured the GQ Men of the Year Awards event in London last night, showing up to present an award to TF Tom Ford who designs all his clothes. Once in a while I like to imagine that JT and Leonardo DiCaprio somehow became friends. What would have happened if Leo allowed JT to be part of his crew? How would those two egos co-exist? Could the world continue to hold itself up under the weight of it? Would JT have ever married Mrs Timberlake? What's interesting about the two of them is that Leo is what JT still wants to be: a real actor. Full Story
JT made better by the Carters
'N SYNC's drop hatch – Beyonce did it first. Beyonce on Beyonce for Beyonce by Beyonce – Beyonce did it first. Jay Z's Holy Grail, in collaboration with Justin Timberlake, is on radio repeat right now. The video was released exclusively on Facebook yesterday with a 24 hour advance – the first time for a major musician. Full Story
JT's shades of Beyonce
Here are Justin Timberlake and Mrs Timberlake out for dinner last night in New York, 24 hours after reuniting with 'N SYNC for 2 minutes at the VMAs. According to US Weekly, JC, Lance, Chris, and Joey were kinda hurt that they weren't given more airtime. Full Story
Mrs Timberlake is invited to the after-party
Turgeon-Steffman/ Splash
No reported sightings of Mrs Timberlake at the VMAs but she did show up for the after-party at the Dream hotel. That's quite a dress too. It's sheer. There's underwear. It looks expensive. And… all it got was an after-party? Deprived the opportunity to be shown on the carpet? Don't say the paps aren't useful, especially when you're wearing something you really want to be seen in. Full Story
You don't ever have to act again
Wenn, Rick Diamond/ Getty
Even though the sound quality was sh-t, and I don't blame him for that, and even though his vocals weren't the best they've ever been, what Justin Timberlake threw down last night was, well, as my friend Michelle wrote to me halfway during his performance, "This medley helps explain his ego problem. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Oprah interviewed Lindsay Lohan and it was supposed to be a television event. It wasn't. Lohan's exclusive with her new Jesus averaged just under 2 million viewers, nothing remarkable. Which doesn't really build confidence for that documentary series they're shooting about how Lohan's putting her career back together, due to air next year.
Since Opes is giving Lohan all the answers these days, what explanations or excuses will she come up with now? Blame it on Breaking Bad and the True Blood season finale. Great. If people weren't watching Oprah save Lindsay because they would rather spend time with Walt White and Sookie Stackhouse, there may be hope for us yet.
So about that possible 'N SYNC reunion at the upcoming MTV VMAs -- Page Six broke the story and it's been 24 hours now without a denial. Read Full Intro
2000 all over again
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! 'N SYNC reunion! Justin Timberlake is receiving the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the MTV VMAs this year. According to Page Six, as part of the tribute, 'N SYNC will perform together – for the first time in, well, in over a decade. Full Story
JT's late night in Philly
FameFlynet, Gilbert Carrasquillo/ Splash
Justin Timberlake was photographed in Philadelphia leaving a party last night at 2am and the photographers are saying he was with a blonde "mystery girl", trying to create a scandal. I don't think there's a scandal. I do think there's a non-famous person being extra about getting photographed which is drawing more attention to who she is and why she's there. Full Story
JT and the underground Chinese
Here's what I like about the new Justin Timberlake video for Take Back The Night: -it's not 8 minutes long -his rolled up pants (but not as much I like them on Zachary Quinto) -that dope little kid with the badass moves -great aerial footage from his concert Here's what made me laugh during the new Justin Timberlake video for Take Back The Night -his black bib or bulletproof vest, however you want to see it -how he's fronting like he hasn't just ripped off MJ -how he drives away from the real people in the real neighbourhood in his toy vintage car to go back to his gated community -for the first time, he doesn't look like a teenager anymore. Full Story
JT doesn't know about Take Back The Night
Justin Timberlake revealed last week that his new single is called Take Back The Night. The track was released on Friday, amazingly without another teaser to a trailer to another trailer. I've attached below. And here's what I wrote initially about the title the other day Full Story
Take Back The Night in Dublin
Justin Timberlake performed at Phoenix Park in Dublin last night. His wife (not pictured) was there to support him. Next stop is London tomorrow. And then he and Jay-Z kick off their Legends Of The Summer tour in Toronto on July 17. As you may have heard, JT is releasing another album at the end of September. Full Story
Down to ride til the very end…
Kevin Mazur/ Getty
It's me and my boyfriend B and her boyfriend. Jay-Z Jay-Z's Magna Carta Holy Grail dropped yesterday for Samsung users, Monday for the rest, but most of the tracks have leaked online anyway. One of them is called Part 2 (On The Run), Jay and Beyonce's follow-up, 10 years later, to Bonnie & Clyde. Full Story
Uncle Charlie's friends
Kevin Winter /Jason Merritt /Mark Davis /Mike Windle /Getty Images
This is what I love about the BET Awards – the audience is SO into it. Normally, at the other shows, maybe the first two rows are getting down, and always Taylor Swift, but everyone else doesn't know what the f-ck to do with themselves. At BET? Everyone is grooving, everyone knows every word. Full Story
JT's MySpace
There was a MySpace launch party in LA last night. Miley Cyrus was there -- click here to see those photos. Justin Timberlake, co-owner, of MySpace was there too although he kept a relatively low profile. No carpet pictures and only shots from inside, and very few of those at that. Full Story

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Federal proposals to restrict or eliminate the use of tax exempt bonds by nonprofit health, education and other charitable organizations would have huge impacts on project costs, delays and curtailments and eliminate tens of thousands of jobs throughout the United States. A study conducted by one of the leading economic and business consulting firm IHS for the National Association of Health and Educational Facilities Finance Authorities (NAHEFFA) found that if Congress limited the tax exemption to 28% for municipal bonds that finance health, educational and other charitable projects throughout the United States, 105,000 jobs, $5.5 billion of labor income and $8.3 billion in GDP would be lost annually. If Congress eliminated the tax exemption altogether then the loss would be 300,000 jobs, $15.6 billion of labor income and $8.3 billion in GDP.
"Thousands of hospitals, clinics, colleges, job centers and boys and girls clubs throughout the United States depend on tax exempt bonds to access capital. Often, particularly in smaller communities, these nonprofits are the largest employers in the area and engines for economic growth. This study demonstrates in national terms the enormous economic burdens and job loss that will be suffered by charities and hundreds of thousands of others if the tax exemption is curtailed or eliminated," said Pamela Lenane, NAHEFFA President and Vice President and Acting General Counsel of the Illinois Finance Authority.
Despite widespread and intense opposition by state and local governments and the nonprofit sector, ending or reducing the tax exemption is under consideration in tax proposals ranging from the White House support for a 28% cap on the tax exemption that include municipal bonds and the Simpson Bowles plan for its total elimination. Key findings from the "IHS Study on the Economic Impact to Propose Restrictions on Tax Exempt Bonds for Nonprofit Organizations" are as follows:
Higher interest expenses will limit nonprofits ability to fund important capital projects for hospitals and schools that demonstrably generate long-term economic value for communities across the nation
The full study in text and PowerPoint is attached and can be found at www.naheffa.com.

Le blog de Mark Tiele Westra
Ever seen water flow uphill? Without help of petrol or electricity? Meet the hydraulic ram, a robust and simple water-powered water pump. The ram pumps uses the power of water with a height difference flowing in the spring, stream or river to lift a fraction of the water up to 200 meters vertically, and sometimes pump it over a kilometre or two to where it is needed. No fuel or electricity required. The ram pump holds great potential for rural drinking water and irrigation water supply in hilly and mountainous areas, such as Afghanistan, Colombia, Nepal, and the Philippines.
Photo above: Children surrounding a hydraulic ram produced by AIDFI on the island Negros, the Philippines.
Akvo is always looking for ways to assist our partners in realizing water and sanitation projects around the globe. Last year we approached the Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU) to see if any of their students would be interested in exploring concepts that could help increase the water awareness of the general public. Five students immediately formed the Design for Water group.
Around the world, most boreholes are drilled with big, heavy equipment which arrives by truck, makes a lot of noise, and gets the job done in a short time, at a cost of about $5,000 to $20,000 per borehole. But there is a growing interest in doing it in a different way -- drilling by hand. It takes longer, it is heavy work, but it also gets the job done. Why are people getting interested? A hand-drilled borehole costs about $500 or less.
I spent October 2009 doing a super-intensive water and sanitation course in Bolivia, organized by the Mobile School for Water and Sanitation -- EMAS. There, I met Samuel Ito Cartajena, aged 39, and his wife Hermelinda Yapanqui de Ito. Together with their 16 year-old daughter, they live in Juliaca, a city in the Puno region in southern Peru. Samuel was one of our teachers, and Hermelinda cooked for the twenty of us. This is their story.

BlackRock's Global Head of Fixed Income, Peter Fisher, understands bond markets and what moves them. Fisher began his career in 1985 at the New York Federal Reserve Bank and spent most of his time running the open market operations. He basically served as the Fed's asset manager, implementing Chairman Alan Greenspan's and the Federal Open Markets Committee's policies.
He went on to serve as an Under Secretary for Domestic Finance at the Treasury Department before taking his skill to the behemoth asset manager BlackRock. Fisher led BlackRock's Asian operation before moving to the fixed income division and eventually running it. We spoke to Fisher about the Eurozone debt crisis, its impact on the United States and what comes next for Treasuries.
Futures Magazine: Peter, how did you move from the Federal Reserve to Treasury to running BlackRock's fixed income portfolio?
Peter Fisher: I was in the asset management/risk management business for the Fed and the Treasury, and [it] was a pretty easy jump to a firm focusing on asset management and risk management.
FM: Give us an assessment of the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis. What will be the long-term impact of the liquidity injections on Nov. 30?
PF: What we should recognize while we are watching the drama unfold in Europe [is that] we are seeing the consequences of the policy mistake they made two years ago, tightening monetary and fiscal policy too quickly in the face of ongoing global deleveraging. The world financial system need to delever after the crisis in 2008 and Europe thought they could tighten fiscal and monetary policy and be unaffected by that. That is what triggered the chaos in European sovereign bond markets, and their financial sector really couldn't take that strain. Now we are seeing whether they could pull out of making that fundamental error of tightening too quickly. The liquidity injections at the end of November were a bridging operation with the central banks around the world trying to show support for Europe and whether Europe could come together with more fundamental policy initiatives. We still are waiting to see whether those will bear fruit.
FM: Was it the wrong time to be austere?
PF: It is a challenge for fiscal policy to tighten in the face of economies that are this weak. That is the dilemma Europe has been facing and, frankly, we are facing here in the United States. What is desirable is if the politicians could just figure out how to act now to cut our long-term liabilities and not cut spending too much in the next year or so. They could get the time path right in a way that wouldn't hurt the economy now but could give confidence to credit markets and fixed income markets around the world. They are struggling to find a way to do it. You can see in the Italian government's efforts in their austerity budget, it is to change some of those long-term pension and health care liabilities to bring them down into line with the rate of revenue growth. The worry is [that] they tighten things too quickly in the short run. We have the same issues.
FM: We keep hearing that Europe is throwing good money after bad and eventually must bite the bullet and let the debt of these peripheral countries fail. Do you agree?
PF: Whether or not the peripheral sovereign countries in Europe need to restructure their debt is really up to how the countries want to choose to deal with the whole area. It is not necessary that all the countries restructure. Greece is probably an outlier. It will have a hard time meeting its debt obligations going forward. I don't know that the other countries have to restructure their debt. [There is risk] of [throwing] good money after bad in terms of just buying the debt while they tighten fiscal and monetary policy. That was not working. It is giving with one hand and taking away with the other. We have seen the ECB start to ease rates again, we've seen them do some bond buying, they're clearly trying to get a quid pro quo with the sovereigns cutting back on fiscal spending in order for them to feel comfortable doing any more bond buying. That might get you to a place where it is not throwing good money after bad. But clearly they both have to stabilize their banking system and they have got to come up with a pro-growth policy. These countries are going to have a very hard time stabilizing their revenues and their fiscal outlook if they now slip into recession. They have got to do something on the pro-growth side as well as something on the stability side.
FM: What would be the fallout if some European countries default?
PF: A lot of this is already priced into the market. These are small peripheral countries. They have had an outsized impact on confidence and you can see [it] wearing on the markets for the last year or so. But investors and markets are trading [this debt] at very low prices so markets already have reflected that. The principal impact it would have from a restructuring or default is the probability [that] it signals other defaults coming. That is why the authorities are so interested in their firepower. Can they ring fence the countries they don't want to have under threat? If there are further restructurings and downgrades, we'll be looking to see what we think the consequences of that are on confidence and the probability that other countries will follow.
FM: What would be the fallout in the United States?
PF: It is how it would affect balance sheets in the U.S.: Bank balance sheets, investor balance sheets, insurance company balance sheets. A single restructuring by Greece might not have that profound an effect, but on confidence what it would do with the rest of the bonds we are all holding, that is the principal worry that we have. I don't think it needs to have a profound effect if the authorities have done the right things but if it looks like the political agreements don't come together then there will be a bigger impact, and weigh on the assets we are holding and run the risk of a further spiral.
FM: We are hearing a lot of talk about another potential downgrade of U.S. debt. First off, do you expect it to happen and second what would be the impact?
PF: I can imagine the ratings agencies downgrading the U.S. again or for the first time in the case of two of the agencies. That is a reasonable thing for them to do, but the US is one of the better [credit risks] in the world. I don't doubt that we've got a more resilient economy, that we've got a smaller black [market] economy, more tax collection power than any other economy in the world. I don't think of the U.S. as downgraded in the sense of its ability and willingness to pay, which is what the ratings agencies should be focusing on. Now if I were running a ratings agency I might have downgraded the U.S. in 2003 when Congress enacted the Medicare drug benefits; I might have been tempted to downgrade the U.S when the Bush tax cuts were extended at the end of 2010. Those are event that had a material impact on outlays and revenues. I am less impressed when the ratings agencies downgraded the U.S. on the sort of short-run political calculus going on [in] Washington. We saw in August with the downgrade that did happen that it led to a rally in Treasuries. That demonstrated that Treasuries were still — notwithstanding the downgrade — the best credit in the world. And in a world in which risks are going up, people buy more of the lowest risk asset, which turned out to be Treasuries. That irony played out in August. Now with another downgrade that might not happen. We might not see that rush into Treasuries as a consequence of the downgrade. It depends on the circumstances in which it happens and whether the economy looks like it is weakening or strengthening. Many people overplay the influence of ratings agencies on sovereigns when the path of real growth and the path of central bank behavior probably have a bigger impact. I am not quite sure what another single downgrade would be. It depends on whether it comes from S&P or one of the other agencies. Finally, the downgrade that happened took the Treasuries from the very very best rating to a very very good rating and if you look at how things are trading in the CDS market, even after the downgrade, Treasuries traded with narrower spreads than some other sovereigns that hung onto their AAA rating.
FM: Traditionally sovereign debt — whether U.S. or non-U.S. — has been the most solid, most conservative part of a portfolio. What has been the impact of the loss of confidence of sovereign debt?
PF: There are two questions to take up there. One is looking at the peripheral debt or the very weak sovereigns. There, the bonds have gone from being treated as a de facto risk-free asset — the preferred asset of the banking system — and fallen all the way [down] to being an impaired credit asset, so that is a very big jump. The jump to weak credit status from being treated as a slightly higher spread version to German government securities has had a profound effect on big portfolios, many of whom simply stopped holding them entirely. Not so much because they consciously thought there was a risk of default but mostly because they just don't hold bonds for the purpose of this much volatility. Now more fundamentally, people talk about the role of the risk-free asset and is it really a risk-free asset? Treasuries, bonds have never been risk free; they have had a lot of duration risk in them. What we are really looking at when we look at what we call a risk-free rate, we are looking at the best expression of the time value of money that we can find. We are using the sovereign curve — the Treasury curve, the bund curve, the gilt curve — as a way of measuring the time value of money. The question is, are we going to come up with anything else? We though for some time over the last 15 years or so that maybe the interest rate swap curve could be a substitute for sovereigns. But the more we look a financial sector that trades them; the counterparty risk imbedded in trading interest rate swaps looms a little large.
If the world is a riskier place than you thought, then you hold more of the lower risk asset, which turned out was Treasuries. Clearly the low level of yields we are looking at is a form of risk aversion. Just like the low P/Es we [see] in the equity markets, the high bond prices/low yields reflect a lot of investors' anxiety about the world and they want to hold — even if it is a lower yielding-asset — a lower-risk asset.
FM: What is your opinion of credit default swaps (CDS's)? Are they useful tools or something very dangerous? Should additional restrictions be put on them?
PF: Clearly CDS's are both useful and dangerous. The dangerous part is where we don't get enough bilateral margining. One of the behaviors that built up several years ago was no two-way margining, which has been a mistake. Frankly, the futures industry got this right a long time ago with more disciplined bilateral margining and margining against the clearinghouses and the over-the-counter (OTC) market — while I have always been a fan — I always thought we should have much more disciplined two-way margining. If you get that then you'll hold down the level of leverage implicit in the CDS market and drive to much better behavior.
FM: What is your opinion on the Dodd-Frank directive to clear over-the-counter interest rate products?
PF: We've been supportive of the Dodd-Frank reforms to get more [OTC] products into clearinghouses, moving interest rate products and CDS into the new structure. The industry is going to have to adjust to the OTC account class. These are much longer-term instruments than the futures industry normally has. Interest rate swaps last for years and years and years, not just three months. Putting clients' money at risk and collateralizing these obligations is something that is going to take a lot more thinking, and we have been talking to the industry and the CFTC to make sure that the clients' interest in ensuring that their collateral is theirs and not someone else's is well protected.
FM: According to your web site BlackRock has $3.345 trillion under management. How much of that is in your traditional bond portfolios? To what extent has BlackRock expanded to a full service provider?
PF: We've got $3.3ish trillion under management at BlackRock, about a third of that, $1.1 trillion, is in fixed income broadly defined. We have about $600 billion in traditional bond portfolios and about $450 billion in index and iShares portfolios and other client funds in alternative products. One area we have been developing is alternative products in the retail space; in fixed income we have brought a global long-short credit product to market for qualified retail investors. We think this is a very useful product given the low yield environment. By taking both long and short views in credit space we can generate higher returns for investors and do it in a prudent way.
FM: Is it fair to say BlackRock is no longer just a bond house?
PF: Certainly not BlackRock. Not with our broad array of fixed income and equity and alternative products. We are offering the full range of products and we are one of the biggest alternative houses on the planet.
FM: Earlier this year the Fed indicated it would keep the Fed Funds rate frozen through mid-2013. What impact did that have on the bond market? Is this a good policy?
PF: It was good policy in a couple of senses. First, we see the mistake in Europe of tightening monetary and fiscal policy prematurely. Our financial sectors are very fragile. We still see delevering, we see financial sector delevering, we see household delevering. You tighten prematurely into that and you see what you get in Europe today. The Fed has been anxious to make sure people don't expect rates to back up prematurely. They also realized the economy was much much weaker than they had hoped. In that environment, one of the most powerful ways they can stimulate the economy is by persuading us that the expected path of short-term rates will be low for a long time. It really had a dramatic impact on interest rate markets and capital markets in general. It was the best tool that they had at their disposal to respond to the weakness in the economy. The point about the delevering financial sector should be underscored; these are not first best choices. These are difficult trade-offs the Fed is making. It is not without costs of having rates this low; and what it is doing to the income of savers and what it is doing in capital markets with these very low yields. But given the alternative it was a very wise move on the Fed's part.
FM: Many analysts feel that the extraordinary monetary accommodations of the last several years is setting the U.S. up for massive inflation. Do you agree?
PF: It is certainly a risk but it is a risk the Fed is running reasonably. I have been telling clients for some time that inflation is coming later than you think. Given how median income in the United States has been falling for three years, given the weakness in the economy here and the European economy, you can see a slowdown happening now in China and East Asia; it doesn't seem to me that inflation is the risk right under our noses for the coming year. It is something that you can worry about further out. Two things have to happen for inflation to really become a problem that would upset investors. The first is that the economy would have to pick up a lot of speed. It is very hard for me to see inflation really getting in the area that would be concerning without the economy getting much stronger and then the Fed would have to not tighten policy in time. Those two things could happen but it would be a pretty good outcome to see the economy pick up speed and then the central banks and the Fed in particular. Given the errors we lived through in the late 1970s, the Fed would likely tighten in a timely manner. It is clearly a risk but I don't think [higher inflation] is the central expectation that I have for the coming year but we will have to see. If the economy does do better, I can see inflation being a problem a little further out.
FM: But we have seen price inflation. Is there some way for investors to prepare?
PF: Obviously there are inflation-linked securities; TIPs (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities) here, linkers (Inflation-indexed bonds) around the world, the various commodity plays. Clearly people have made some money in the gold market and other commodity markets over the last couple of years. If you want to look at the TIPs market as a hedge against inflation, investors should be very clear on why they are buying TIPs. You could imagine them being a play on real rates, in which case you hold them hoping real rates go lower and you pick it up on appreciation. If you are buying TIPs as a hedge against inflation, then you should expect real rates to back up before the inflation premium kicks in and you get your inflation insurance. Some people are afraid that TIPs are too expensive now that rates have rallied so far; well they are not going to be expensive if what you are worried about is high inflation in the future. That is the easiest way to hedge yourself but you have to be clear on why you are buying them.
FM: We are in the midst of a 30-year-plus bull market in Treasuries. Will this end any time soon?
PF: We are nearing the end of the rally that can unfold. Some people therefore think the next move is 30 years of interest rates backing up; I don't know that is the most likely outcome. If you look at 100 years of data, interest rates have been pretty low so the question is what are we mean-reverting to? If we are going to mean-revert back up to the high inflation of the late-70s/early-80s, then we are going to have 30 years of backup; if we mean-revert to the last 100 years of data, interest rates are going to stay right around 2 or 3% for a while.
That is the real challenge for investors. The Fed anchoring expectations for rates staying low tells us a fair bit about what is going to happen for the next year or so until the Fed gives us different expectations.
FM: Do you expect a change in either long- or short-term rates in 2012?
PF: Not in short-term rates, the Fed has been pretty clear, unless the economy picks up steam dramatically. Ten-year U.S. rates I can see trading in the low 2% range for most of the year. They might back up if the economy picks up, but the Fed having anchored short rate expectations is going to be a powerful force keeping rates somewhere near the 2-3% range.
FM: What is the best investment in the fixed income arena? The safest?
PF: If you are focused on safety, you are going to look at Treasuries. A very reasonable investment strategy for most investors is to look at some of the more secure spread sectors like municipal securities, like investment grade credit and even like our high-yield market, which is nowhere near as risky as it was in the 1980s. Companies are not as highly geared as they were then. A diversified portfolio of municipal securities, investment grade credit, some high-yield, could be a very sensible portfolio, picking up a little spread in this environment where I don't expect rates to back up very much over the coming year. They may back up a little but if you've bought some of these spread products you are going to have picked up enough income to overcome that.

I'm using this plugin with XBMC in windows XP
It works great for windowed applications, but I've got an issue where I'm trying to start games (like World of Goo or Crayon Physics Delux) that run in full screen mode. After I add them to the launcher and try to run the game, XBMC minimizes, but the application never starts. I've tried it with and without the 'Wait' function, but get the same result. Is there something that should be added in the arg to make this work more smoothly? Thanks! |

I compile the script into an exe and point the launcher to it heres the script Quote:dash = D:\Apps\XBMC\XBMC.exe -p ;this is the path to xbmcbest part about autohotkey is you can launch apps from launcher plugin seamlessly, i hid my task bar and have a black desktop, with no shortcuts on it so you dont see windows. if you've ever owned a modded xbox this achieves the same effect. xbox would kill xbmc before launching a game too. For extra xbox like behaviour, i also set up the following code in the ahk script to watch for the press of the back button and both triggers.(im using an xbox 360 controller of cource) but with some minor changes this would work with any gamepad what this does is quit the active application. causing the the game to exit, and xbmc magically relaunches. add the following line to the script above Quote: ;For 360 Joystick must push LB , BACK & Start within a second of each other in that orderhope that wasnt too complicated. you can copy and paste the script into a text document and call it whateveryouwant.ahk then right click it and choose compile to make an exe change the paths to match your setup of course. i quickly copied and pasted this code so there may be an error but...i hope not |

The UPSTATE® colorimetric STAR (Signal Transduction Assay Reaction) ELISA kit is a solid phase sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay that provides a fast, sensitive method to detect specific levels of signaling targets in whole cell extracts. The EGFR plate is coated with a specific mouse monoclonal anti-EGFR capture antibody. Sample lysate or the standard included in the kit are incubated in the microwells allowing EGFR antigen to be captured in the plate wells. The plate is then washed to remove any un-bound non-nspecific material. A specific rabbit anti-EGFR antibody is added to detect the captured full length EGFR on the plate well. The unbound detection antibody is washed away followed by incubation with an HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit antibody. After the addition of TMB substrate and stop solution the absorbance is measured at 450 nm using a plate reader. This allows for a sensitive enzymatic detection of the sample.
The entire assay takes less than 5 hours to complete with minimal hands-on time. Many of the reagents are supplied in ready-to use formulations for ease of use. The kit also includes a standard that is run as both a positive control and to to generate a standard curve for EGFR measurement.

Cystoscopy and Ureteroscopy
What is a cystoscopy?A cystoscopy is an examination of the inside of the bladder and urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. In men, the urethra is the tube that runs through the penis. The doctor performing the examination uses a cystoscope -- a long, thin instrument with an eyepiece on the external end and a tiny lens and a light on the end that is inserted into the bladder. The doctor inserts the cystoscope into the patient's urethra, and the small lens magnifies the inner lining of the urethra and bladder, allowing the doctor to see inside the hollow bladder. Many cystoscopes have extra channels within the sheath to insert other small instruments that can be used to treat or diagnose urinary problems. A doctor may perform a cystoscopy to find the cause of many urinary conditions, including

I purchased this jig for custom sign shapes for my sign carving business. The instructions were very clear and easy to have for reference right on the jig. After playing around with the jig on some scrap plywood, I gave it a try. I used a 1/2 inch spiral upcut bit in my plunge router and made gradual cuts in 1/4 inch increments. Very easy to use and made a perfect oval! Just take your time and take some practice cuts before you make a formal cut. The jig is very high quality, sturdy and fits my PC 890 series like a glove. I am using it again on a large custom sign and am looking forward to it. Great tool!

Posted March 22, 2012
I have own it for about 3 years. This is a great jig , it comes with a 1 1/2" hole that you can use with a brass guide, in that way you don't need to bolt it to your router and the cord will not wind up on you and you can use it on any router you have. But with all oval jigs it has a built in error, but you can over come that by using the magic donuts rings that will take the error out of the jig You will not see the error until you want to make some oval picture frames or mirrors, the narrow parts are thinner but that's the down fall with all oval jigs. If you want to see how to make the donuts or how to use used them with 1 1/2" brass guide go to the routerfoums.com All in all I would say it's a great jig.and well worth the money.

The You-Tube video shows the router jig being used with a Makita router, and the video says that the jig is pre-drilled for most routers. It is drilled for Porter-Cable. I have a Makita 3612 and I had to drill my own holes. The product specs are silent on this point. OK for a $25 jig, but not a $90 jig.

Northern Water Tribe

- This article is about the location in the series. For the location in the film, see Northern Water Tribe.
"The Water Tribe is a great nation. There's a reason they've survived one hundred years of war. The frozen tundra is treacherous, the landscape itself is an icy fortress." |

Long ago, a group of waterbenders united to build the capital city of the Northern Water Tribe in an attempt to bring all the tribes of the North Pole together. The waterbenders used their icy environment to create the various temples, villages, and canals that comprise the city.[3]
Prior to the Hundred Year War, the Northern Water Tribe was an open port city that was accessible to any visitors. However, when the Fire Nation declared war on the Water Tribes, a thick wall of ice was erected at the mouth of the city as a means to keep the Fire Nation out of the Northern Water Tribe. When the War began, the Northern Water Tribe became increasingly isolated, cutting off most of its contact with the outside world and eventually losing touch with the Southern Water Tribe, leaving the battered tribe to fend on its own.
While the Northern Water Tribe did fall under attack from the Fire Nation, the attacks did not succeed as they did against the Southern Water Tribe. After a while, the attacks ceased entirely. The last time Northern warriors recovered Fire Nation uniforms was eighty-five years before Team Avatar's arrival, and Chief Arnook referred to an impending attack as the day feared for a very long time.[4]
In the Siege of the North, the Northern Water Tribe was nearly destroyed when Admiral Zhao led a massive naval assault on the capital city in an attempt to destroy the Water Tribes and kill the Moon Spirit, Tui, in an attempt to eradicate waterbending. The tribe was saved when Avatar Aang, merged with the Ocean Spirit La, destroyed the Fire Navy fleet and when Princess Yue gave up her life to revive Tui, thus becoming Tui's successor.
In the aftermath of the Fire Nation's siege of the North Pole, select benders and healers from the Northern Tribe left for the South Pole in an effort to rebuild their ravaged sister tribe.[2]
After undergoing a surgery to alter his physical appearance, Republic City's most notorious crime boss, Yakone, made his way to the Northern Water Tribe to start life anew. There, he married a woman and had two children, Noatak and Tarrlok. After Yakone forced his children to bloodbend each other, Noatak ran away. Yakone and Tarrlok assumed that Noatak had perished in the ice.[5]
By 151 ASC, the tribe came under attack by a barbarian horde. The then general of the troops, Tonraq, defended the city and expelled the invaders. However, by destroying a sacred spirit forest in his quest to apprehend the Barbarians, he brought the wrath of the spirits in the city, and the entities laid waste on the capital city. The metropolis was saved by his brother, Unalaq, though Tonraq was banished by their father, the then-chief. As a result, Unalaq took over his older brother's birthright, and became chief after their father.[6]
In 170 ASC, Tarrlok served as the Northern Water Tribe's representative in the United Republic Council.[7] Later, Tarrlok revealed Amon's history in the Northern Water Tribe to Avatar Korra and Mako.[5]
In 171 ASC, under Unalaq's leadership, the Northern Water Tribe's Navy began an invasion of their sister tribe, ostensibly to protect the spirit portal at the heart of the South Pole and to prevent the South from falling into spiritual decay.[6] The occupation was not welcomed by the Southerners, who felt that Unalaq's actions threatened their sovereignty.[8] Eventually, these tensions boiled over when Team Avatar broke a group of rebels out of prison after learning that Unalaq had not only fixed their trial, but also organized the barbarian invasion of the North that led to Tonraq's banishment. This event officially ignited the Water Tribe Civil War.[9]
Government system: Tribal Chiefdom
Head of State and Government: Chief
The Northern Tribe is a patriarchal monarchy, but has some aspects of a tribal group, including the Head of State being a chief. Labor division is dependent on gender: men typically work as hunters, fishermen, teachers, or warriors, and women usually serve as homemakers, healers, or teachers.
There is a small council that advises the Tribal Chief, including the tribe's greatest waterbending master, Pakku. Politics can also be personal. For example, marrying the chief's daughter, the Tribal Princess, can be a significant step in a person's political career. The council is responsible for making laws and organizing the tribe. The Northern Water Tribe was infamous for upholding extreme sexist views before the end of the Hundred Year War; the tribe had a law that did not allow women to learn martial waterbending.[4]
Located at the North Pole, the Northern Water Tribe city is huge and multi-tiered, built into the icy landscape. Looming over the city are giant ice cliffs from which it was originally built. The city rests on the shores of the Northern Sea, and behind it is an enormous frozen tundra.[1]
Unlike the obliterated Air Nomads and their southern sister tribe, the Northern Water Tribe survived a century of war with the Fire Nation, due to the defenses their icy terrain provided. Resting on the shores of the Northern Sea, behind high walls of ice and an ice gate and canal lock system passable only by the use of waterbending, there lies a large and bustling monarchic nation-state. Ruled by a supreme chief, the capital city features a palace, an army, and many skilled warriors, healers, waterbenders, and a hidden oasis which houses Tui and La, the Moon and Ocean Spirits.
Powered by waterbending, gondolas are used to navigate the city's expansive system of canals. These interconnecting waterways play a crucial part in the tribe's defenses. Water-locking chambers act as the only entrances into the main city; boats travel through the gates, and, once the boats are in, waterbenders raise the water levels, lifting the boats until the vessel finally reaches the waterways of the Northern Water Tribe. This special entrance ensures that no unwanted ships can make it into the city. Because of these special security features and the city's location, the Northern Water Tribe was able to fend off numerous Fire Nation attacks.[3]
Located on the warrior training grounds, the Water Tribe armory is where Water Tribe weapons are stored and kept in pristine condition. The armory doubles as a war planning room where orders are given to the warriors. Some Fire Nation uniforms, which were captured about eighty five years prior, are also kept there.[4]
Chief's temple
The Chief's temple is a large structure built on top the highest tier of the capital city and is one of the most recognizable landmarks. It can be seen from most anywhere in the city and stands like a monument, representing strength and power. In here, the chief and his advisers sit and make decisions regarding the tribe.[3][1]
The temple's design mimics that of a tiered pyramid. Leading up to the front entrance is a large staircase which is bordered on either side by a decorative pillar. A pool of water and a number of artificially designed waterfalls surround the building, giving it a unique ambiance; the liquid for this system is supplied by various pipelines that pour water into the pool from directly below the temple. During special events after nightfall, the interior of the temple is lit up, so that light shines through the front entrance and the central windows up to the top floor of the structure. When Team Avatar arrived at the Northern Water Tribe, a celebration was held near the Chief's temple.[1]
The interior of the building is intricately designed, featuring a decorative arch with four pillars, two cauldron-shaped ice sculptures, carvings of Water Tribe symbols, a rug adorned with the insignia of the nation, and an artificial waterfall behind the arch.[10]
Healing huts
The healing huts are small classroom-like structures. Here, Yugoda taught her young female students how to master their healing abilities using mannequins with human chi paths carved into them.[1]
Spirit Oasis
- Main article: Spirit Oasis
The Spirit Oasis is a verdant and lush garden located in a cave in the Northern Water Tribe's capital city at the North Pole. Although the land outside is perpetually frozen, the Spirit Oasis itself is warm. This is where the mortal incarnations of the Moon and Ocean Spirits live. The water of the oasis is said to contain unique healing properties. It is a place where the Spirit World overlaps with the mortal world.[11] It is known to be one of the most peaceful places in the bending world.[4]
Underground ice cavern
These interconnecting ice caverns are located underneath the city and were naturally created by the ocean water eroding away the ice. Seals and other animals live in these ice caverns, and the only way to get to them is to swim through the freezing water.[10] Zuko traveled through these caverns when trying to capture Aang during the Siege of the North.[4]
Frozen tundra
This massive stretch of arctic tundra covers most of the North Pole. The inland tundra is mostly mountainous and inhabited by a diverse fauna. The valleys of the arctic mountain ranges also host small settlements, such as Yakone's village.[5]
However, the coastal arctic plains are extremely treacherous. Only highly skilled arctic hunters travel on the open plains, hunting the animals that live there, and they never stay longer than a few days at a time. Heavy winter blizzards constantly pelt the tundra, and unstable ice sheets often give way under the slightest pressure. Even experienced waterbenders and warriors think twice about venturing into this dangerous environment.[10]
Sacred spirit forest
Deep in the tundra of the Northern Water Tribe lies a sacred forest, which many spirits called their home. During the Barbarian Invasion of the Northern Water Tribe, Tonraq and his men chased the barbarians into the forest. The barbarians thought they would be safe there, believing the Northern Watertribesmen would not dare to attack on holy grounds. Tonraq, however, had no such concerns, and subsequently attacked, destroying the forest in order to capture the barbarians.
Yakone's village
This village served as Yakone's new home after he left Republic City and assumed a new identity. Here, he met his wife and had two children, Noatak and Tarrlok. He lived out the remainder of his life in this village, teaching his children bloodbending until Noatak ran away and assumed his new identity as Amon.[5]
Women become marriageable at the age of sixteen. Some marriages are arranged, with the bride in particular having no say in the matter. Engaged women wear "betrothal necklaces", navy blue chokers bearing blue stone pendants carved by their husband-to-be.[10] Until after the Hundred Year War, it was forbidden by custom for female waterbenders to learn waterbending for fighting purposes. Instead, they were trained as healers, able to use bending to heal wounds and at least some illnesses and mental disturbances.[1]
While the Southern Water Tribe seemed to have similar traditional roles, they were apparently much more strict in the North, as Katara, who was raised in the South, expressed surprise and anger when she was initially denied equal treatment in waterbending training.[1] As a result, it can be concluded that female waterbenders are allowed to learn waterbending for fighting purposes in the Southern Water Tribe. Kanna, Katara's paternal grandmother, Hakoda, Katara's father and Bato, a Southern Tribe male and a friend of Katara's father, also showed no signs of disapproval when observing Katara's waterbending skills; Southern female waterbenders once used their bending to attack Fire Nation soldiers.[12]
Like the Fire Nation, Northern schools include subjects such as history, strategy, reading, writing, music, waterbending, and others. This is apprent due to the fact that the population has shown to know quite a lot about these subjects. The city also boasts numerous medical schools and science institutions that teach young female waterbenders to hone their healing abilities and medical skills. Northern schools and institutions teach other subjects, like geography; this is apparent from the fact that they can read maps.
Natural resources and foods
Inhabiting frozen poles near the seas, the Water Tribes inherently are dependent on the oceans for a majority of their natural resources as well as the bounty of the frozen tundra. Sea prunes are a favorite, while giant sea crabs are considered a delicious delicacy to those in the Northern Sea. Squid and seaweed can be used to make a wide variety of dishes, including soup, seasoning, and even bread and cookies.
Skins from seals are used to create tents, while pelts from polar bears and other furry animals are used as clothing and to cover barren surfaces. Naturally, hunters and fishermen of the Water Tribes are some of the best in the world in their field.
One of the most prevalent natural resources of the Northern Water Tribe is ice. Ice is used as the main building material used to make buildings, walls, dikes, locks, and other structures, as well as a medium of bending.
Notable figures
- Like its sister tribe in the south, the Northern Water Tribe has several villages outside the main city.[5]
- As part of his journey to master the elements, Avatar Roku met his waterbending teacher here and mastered waterbending.[13]
- By 151 ASC, the Northern Water Tribe capital city had expanded to areas atop the cliffs that surround the city.
- The canal system in the city that provides transportation is similar to that of many canal cities like Suzhou, Venice, Amsterdam, and Birmingham. The design of the bridges connecting the two sides of each canal resemble that of Venice, and the architecture of most of the city is strikingly European.
- Even though the ice wall in the harbor of the city was constructed exclusively for the purpose of keeping the Fire Nation Army from entering the city, the wall was not taken down after the end of the Hundred Year War.

These are just balloons. No better, no worse than the kind you can get at WalMart. The only reason I got them through Celebrate Express is because they offered them to me cheaper as a last minute addition to my shopping cart. If you are getting everything else here, and don't want to make a separate trip for balloons, by all means get them here.
