social service
Japanese social welfare provision is uniquely reliant on employer- and work-based social services, although there is also an extensive but relatively underfunded system of statutory local-authority personal social services for the major need groups. Social workers in these municipal agencies are responsible for both discretionary income support and protective social care. In major cities they cooperate with a growing number of voluntary agencies, of which the Minsei-iin is the oldest and largest. As in the case of income support, health care, and housing, access to welfare services for most Japanese workers largely depends on the size and financial stature of the organizations employing them. Although traditional familial ties are still pervasive, they are weaker in the large cities, as a result of social and geographic mobility. At the same time, the number and proportion of the dependent elderly show a marked increase. Accordingly, Japanese policy has turned toward the expansion of statutory services, and much has been done to foster neighbourhood networks of mutual aid that go beyond the traditional notions of kinship and obligation.Japan

Commissioned and produced by Seattle's Radial Theater Project, 99 Layoffs follows the misadventures of Orson and Louella, two wannabe artists and serial job seekers, as they navigate the wicked waters of our recession-battered labor market.

Along the way, we meet the steady stream of manic bosses, petulant customers and evil children who challenge their peace of mind and economic stability.
A dramatic comedy (or comedic drama) for two actors and multiple characters, 99 Layoffs brims with recognition of a restructured world where the best job, and the only job that's available, are pretty much the same job. Learn more at 99layoffs.com.

UNDATED (AP) -- Colorado outfielder Michael Cuddyer might not have won baseball's Home Run Derby, but he came close to making the final round.
Yoenis Cespedes won the derby Monday night, becoming the first player left out of the All-Star game to take home the crown. The Oakland Athletics slugger beat Bryce Harper 9-8 in the final round at reconfigured Citi Field, hitting the decisive drive with five swings to spare.
Cuddyer hit 15 home runs in the first two rounds but was edged out of the final by Harper, who hit 16. Cespedes easily made the final round after hitting 17 homers in just the first round.

I applied through an employee referral and the process took 2 months - interviewed at Amazon.com.
Interview Details
After submitting resume, received an email saying that I was selected for two 45-minute phone screens, and asked for my schedule so that they could plan something that would work for me. My screens were back to back the following week. Both interviews were incredibly nice. The first asked me some questions about myself and some projects that I had worked on, then asked me some basic OO questions. He then asked me one coding problem, which we worked through online.
The second interview was all coding, working through variations on a binary tree problem. The interviewer had an accent, but it wasn't too harsh, and he was very pleasant. Both let me drive the conversation, and I made sure to keep talking the whole time.
I thought I had done ok, but not super well. I aced the second interview, but stumbled through the first interviewer's coding question. About a week or two later, I received an email saying that I had gotten the internship.
Interview Question –
Design an algorithm to take a list of strings as well as a single input string, and return the indices of the list which are anagrams of the input string, disregarding special characters.
Given a binary tree which is a sum tree, write an algorithm to determine whether the tree is a valid sum tree or not. Then, write an algorithm that will fix the tree to make it a sum tree. Then, write an algorithm which will fix a tree to make it a sum tree by only using addition.

Difficult Interview
I applied online and interviewed at Amazon.com.
Interview Details
Applied directly through their job postings and was contacted by email and then by phone to setup interviews.
Initially two phone interviews each 45 minutes in length back-to-back, with a 15 minute break in-between. Later that evening I was contacted to setup a third phone interview. When I completed the third phone screen I was informed that it was for the full time SDE position and not an internship (However I noticed no difference in type or difficulty of questions between it and the previous two phone interviews.)
Each interview consisted of a minor overview of what position my interviewer held in the company followed by some minor questions about my resume. (i.e. questions about the programming languages I was familiar with, questions about the difference between imperative and functional programming since I had experience with prolog, haskell, and scheme). Following those there were two or three warm up questions dealing with high level concepts in OOP and data structures. A few questions asking me how I would solve a given computing problem without actually producing code. A more difficult computing question where I was asked to produce code either on my side dictating it to my interviewer or through a shared editor. Finally a fairly difficult algorithms question about working in a very large problem space (working with large data sets) not producing code but attempting to find the most efficient solution.
Interview Question – Given an integer N and an array of unsorted integers A find all pairs of numbers within A which add up to N. (This is the only question I can remember and I had trouble thinking of an answer at the time) View Answers (3)
Negotiation Details – As it was an internship the offer was basically take it or leave it. That being said the offer was more generous than one would feel inclined to haggle over anyways.
Pros: "I noticed that people at Amazon have either stayed for a really long time or just in there 1-2 years of career. From more senior colleagues, you can definitely learn A LOT if you are doing an internship or fresh out of college. Amazon has their own system for almost everything you need to build…" – Full Review

The way we live now — devoid of creamy deliciousness.
There once was a time in the not-so-distant past when one could display irrational exuberance over the thought of eating a warm, delicious cinnamon bun. Enjoying a breakfast pastry is one of life's little joys, much like delivering a particularly feisty "yo momma" joke.
Those days are over. Dead and gone. Just ask Houston-area woman Latasha Connor. The unabashed happiness she found in indulging in a tasty, Cinnabon product died a very public death when she uttered these fateful words: "Hey Marquise, what's going on? Time for another Cinnabon. I'm back".
No more, Latasha. No more.
Connor had taken in a matinee last Thursday afternoon at the Deerbrook Mall. Following the movie, she made her way back to the food court — anxious to sink her teeth into a pipin' hot pastry.
Connor says in a raised, excited voice she went to the counter and said this to the clerk. "Hey Marquise, what's going on? Time for another Cinnabon. I'm back". Connor says the officer walked up behind her. "He was just like, 'Ma'am, ma'am is there a problem?' I said no sir there's not a problem." The 30-year old says the Humble officer told her she was being too loud and asked her for identification. She says she left her license in the car but gave him her name and date of birth.
This did not satisfy the officer, who checked her record and found nothing, yet held her there for 15-minutes until Paul Blart: Mall Cop could make the scene. Connor was then issued a "failure to show ID" citation and — get this — banned from the mall for 10 YEARS!
Uh huh. A 10-year ban for getting worked up over the thought over having a 2nd cinnamon bun. They're good and all, but seriously?
At the urging of the local FOX-affiliate, the mall later reviewed the case and rescinded the ban ('cause it was stoopid), but the damage was done. Connor's love of hot-from-the oven cinnabon goodness is now in tatters; the victim of pastry profiling.
The moral of this sad tale: keep your love of sweets to yourself. Cops don't want some fresh-faced 30-something taking away their hard earned flaky pastry crown. You know what they say about police and their doughnuts.
Same difference.

We loved our stay at this condo. We live in Bellingham so it was close enough to invite friends for dinner one night, pick up two grandchildren to stay with us the second night, and have another daughter and granddaughter from Lynden spend the last night with us. We relaxed, read, walked on the beach, played badminton with the provided equipment, enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen and using the outdoor grill. The view is incredible; the water by day and the lights from White Rock by night. Everything was clean, plenty of supplies, linens, towels etc. Both queen size beds had very comfortable thick foam mattresses. A few minor issues: My husband had some trouble using the WiFi but the owners sent someone to help out and we learned that we didn't have the correct password. Air conditioning was listed as an amenity but there was none. Also, the screens on the doors were not all working properly. I hope to be back and will highly recommend this condo to my friends and relatives for a quiet and beautiful place to vacation.Recommended for: Families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway.

Would not recommend if clean linens, or clean carpets are important. Advertised as having wifi, but did not. Ants all over kitchen, blood stained comforter, dog poop stain in master, stains on sofa in den. Cable TV went out during my stay. Watered down detergents, cheap soaps, and you are required to wash a load of housekeeping laundry before you checkout. Too many other nice rentals as options - Pass this one up.Manager response: We are sorry ginger wasn't pleased with her stay. When she let us know about the few item, we offered to send our staff over right away, she said tomorrow after noon would work. When the staff arrived there was 3 ants on the counter, we removed the comfoter and address all other cleaning issues. There was internet but it was a usb port I didn't know she would be traveling with an Ipad we have also correccted this with wireless. We didn't know the cable went out until she had left. We again are very sorry that her exceptation were not met and credited her a night for the inconvience.

My Little Prince
A few weeks ago, Little Mister attended a friend's birthday party and received a lovely princess crown from the Disney-loving birthday girl. To my husband's very manly dismay, we've hardly been able to get it off of him. He wears it both at home and abroad, reveling in his adornment.
To try to make it seem more boyish, I started calling him "Prince Seth" which ironically sounds just like "Princess." Hubby was not impressed.
This morning Prince Seth came sobbing to me with the sad broken remains of his plastic birthday crown in his little fingers. With a heavy heart I told him it could not be fixed but must be thrown away, thinking in the back of my head how happy Hubby would be at this fortuitous turn of events.
But the look on my son's face wrenched my heart. "Now I can't be a Prince," he said forlornly.
"Tell you what," I said, "I have some gold fabric left over downstairs. How about I make you a crown like Max had when he was King of all the Wild Things?"
My small son smiled through his tears.
So I put the baby in his playpen, started a video for my daughter and sat down at my sewing machine. Years ago I used to make church banners and stored away in my stacks of old fabric, I found gold lamé, quilt batting and white felt: everything I needed.
Now my son is Prince of all the Wild Things. If only all childhood heartbreak could be solved so easily.

Hmmm. I'm not satisfied with this one. Critique is welcome as always
Johnny Van Cura
make it look more like a tit plz
edit: this is my prekesh impression
Alan Horne
The gold section, would it not have circles within it from the small black bit to the large black bit?
Similar to this one -http://drbl.in/cOPg
Prekesh Chavda
@Alan Horne well I don't know, I looked at some speakers in our house that look exactly like this and the gold bit is smooth.
Try adding a little more texture on the brown part.
Example: http://cl.ly/HmkM -
Prekesh Chavda
@Jari Sanders I did that, I didn't like how it looked :/
Jordan Vitanov

@Prekesh Chavda Yeah I know what you mean, I suppose that may be personal preference
Aaron Moody
Looks ace,
I did something like this a few years back, but yours is much better! -
Nikolay Kuchkarov
Kyle Adams
@Prekesh Chavda I think it's the shadows and highlights on the golden area. Maybe try muting them more and making the shadow area at the top wider.
smooth. Just nice
Mike Stezycki
Hot damn!
maybe a nice kevlar texture on the yellow bit would look nice?
Guillaume Gaubert
Nice start! I think it'd look better with a more contrasted metal reflection for the border and some radial metal texture on the gold part.
• Right level of detail
• Recognizable concept
• Unique silhouette
• Matches style of others in the setSo it is pretty good to start out with. It fits with the set both visually and conceptually, and is a decent icon by itself.
• The first thing that comes to mind is color vibrance. Whether or not real speakers have a dull coloring, you should be using bright, saturated colors, like you did with the rest of the set. This is part of the reason it feels sort of dull–the rest of the set is so vibrant. Most icons should be very vibrant, if you can.
• The other important thing is depth. Right now everything in this icon says "flat" and there is no depth hierarchy. A depth hierarchy in an icon like this is controlled by inner shadows and outer shadows–if it has a white inner shadow, it's probably outset, if it has a white outer shadow, it's probably inset. So, if we look at this icon, that hierarchy is difficult to see. the top of the black part looks inset, the bottom outset. The bubble in the middle's border would have you think it was concave, a depression, but the shading says it is popping out. All sort of confusing to the viewer, and it averages out to flatness and lack of realism.
In your other icons in this set, you have done a lot of work to get the depth "right". Look at your Xcode icon, for example... you have soft shadows, some reflections, and a bunch of other cues. On this icon, though, you don't have that as strongly, and you get the "stacked paper sheets" issue I see so often in icons these days: it looks like you have a bunch of pieces of colored cardboard and you stacked them on top of each other. An icon should look like it is popping out of the screen, like your dartboard icon does.
• Texture... don't add it. Really, you don't need it. Most of the other icons in the set use texture very sparingly to convey materials, and in this case the "shiny metal" can be conveyed through shading alone.
Here are my edits, you can see what this critique looks like in practice... I did my best to keep the style consistent with the rest of the icons, though. Love the set and look forward to seeing more of it ^_^
Nick Quebbeman
get em, ollin! haha
Prekesh Chavda
@Ollin you're the best LOL. Thanks for having your edit at the end, I understood most of what you said but that made it all easier. You're right about making it more vibrant, I made this last night at 4am on my macbook (which has a shitty screen LOL) and I figured I'd edit the colours when I got on my macbook. I'll make the depth changes and post an update :3
Sean Berlin
Add some noise to the cone. It also needs layers (see here). I don't think it needs more than that. To be honest, you could probably escape with just some noise. :)
Dhiren Adesara
nice !
nice work @Prekesh Chavda
Update! I like it now. Thanks to @Ollin for his feedback, helped a lot. WTF was I thinking when I made the first one? ... well it was 4am.
(I thought I'd add a little note too :3)

Wolfsburg coach Felix Magath has admitted he is feeling the pressure with his side inside the bottom two after seven games of the season.
The Wolves were beaten comprehensively by Magath's former club Schalke and the coach says his side's form is causing him a few sleepless nights.
"Of course I am sleeping worse when my team are remaining below the expectations," he told WDR 2 radio.
"It worries me and then of course there is an hour here or there at night or in the early hours when it is bothering you."
The 3-0 defeat to Schalke leaves the Wolves in the relegation zone and with the prospect of another season of struggle, having started the campaign with the minimum aim of qualifying for Europe next season.
But with every passing game, the situation becomes more critical and Magath says this is unsettling the players too.
"At the moment, we lack the morale to cope with going behind," he said.
"When things are not going for you and when you go to play a team who are in the Champions League and have always played well so far, then you can also understand that."

This specialized lockbox service enables assessment payments for multiple homeowners associations to be sent to a single lockbox, with deposits made to separate bank accounts for each property. The solution allows for a transition from paper to electronic payments processing while simplifying exceptions management and reporting for property managers.
Once residents or owners have sent their payments with a machine-enabled coupon to the dedicated P.O. Box,we process the RemitStream Property Management Lockbox items as retail lockbox payments. Images are captured and coupons automatically read to speed up the payment process.
Typically, determining whether exceptions can be processed is time consuming and manual. RemitStream Exception Handling combines three tools to streamline this process.
RemitStream® Remote Property Management LockboxYour property management customers can remotely capture payments and coupons from multiple homeowners associations and transmit them to our lockbox site for processing. At the site, these payments are combined with mailed paper payments into a consolidated file sorted by homeowners association.
RemitStream Receivables Online: Property Management is a secure web-based application that provides same-day access to check and coupon images. Images can be viewed and printed on the same day that they are processed. Searches can be conducted by homeowners association number or other data in the coupon scanline. Special property management lockbox reports are also available online.
Images of thechecks and coupons are accessible online within hours of lockbox processing. Your customers will spend less time looking for copies of checks and coupons and more time focusing on their businesses.
Images of checks and coupons are accessible online within hours of lockbox processing and retained in a standard image archive for 180 days with the option to expand to a long-term image archive of one, three, or seven years.
Your customers can receive images of checks and coupons on CD-ROMS or DVDs on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. The CDs and DVDs are encrypted with one of the highest levels of data security available ensuring that they can view their images in a secure environment.
To comply with legal requirements, funds from separate homeowners associations cannot be combined into one property management company's demand deposit account (DDA). In the past to comply with the requirement, a property management company needed a lockbox for each separate homeowners association. With RemitStream Property Management Lockbox, your customer can have payments mailed to one P.O. Box with the funds credited to each separate homeowners DDA. Remittance Solutions sends data transmissions sorted by homeowners association for automated posting into the homeowners association accounts receivable systems and DDA posting. .
Remittance Solutions uses the same advanced equipment to process RemitStream Property Management Lockbox transactions as RemitStream Retail Lockbox transactions. After processing, one data transmission is sent, sorted by homeowners association, to the property management company to update the accounts receivable records of each of its homeowners associations. A second transmission, sorted by homeowners association, feeds payment information to our financial institution client for DDA posting. Checks (paper or electronic) are deposited at the clearing agent the financial institution designates. Images of checks and coupons as well as reports are available for same-day online viewing with RemitStream Receivables Online.
Remittance Solutions uses a comprehensive, proven implementation process. Implementations may extend to data transmission setup and testing as well as training on online tools. Once an agreement is in place, a dedicated Remittance Solutions team works with the financial institution and its customer to complete implementation forms, understand business requirements, setup the lockbox and thoroughly test the agreed upon requirements. The Remittance Solutions process ensures a smooth implementation for the financial institution and its customer.

Formed in March 1933, the Civilian Conservation Corps, CCC, was one of the first New Deal programs. It was a public works project intended to promote environmental conservation and to build good citizens through vigorous, disciplined outdoor labor. Close to the heart of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the CCC combined his interests in conservation and universal service for youth. He believed that this civilian "tree army" would relieve the rural unemployed and keep youth "off the city street corners."

Did You Know?
In less than 10 years, the Civilian Conservation Corps built more than 800 parks and planted nearly 3 billion trees nationwide.
The CCC operated under the army's control. Camp commanders had disciplinary powers and corpsmen were required to address superiors as "sir." By September 1935 over 500,000 young men had lived in CCC camps, most staying from six months to a year. The work focused on soil conservation and reforestation. Most important, the men planted millions of trees on land made barren from fires, natural erosion, or lumbering—in fact, the CCC was responsible for over half the reforestation, public and private, done in the nation's history. Corpsmen also dug canals and ditches, built over thirty thousand wildlife shelters, stocked rivers and lakes with nearly a billion fish, restored historic battlefields, and cleared beaches and campgrounds.
Although professing a nondiscriminatory policy, the CCC failed to give a fair share of work to blacks, especially in the South where local selection agents held sway. But in spite of rigid segregation and hiring quotas, black participation reached 10 percent by 1936.
In all, nearly 3 million young men participated in the CCC The army's experience in managing such large numbers and the paramilitary discipline learned by corpsmen provided unexpected preparation for the massive call-up of civilians in World War II.

Both claim to have fabulous fine grain technology, one touts itself as perfect for fashion, the other perfect for pushing. So which one is REALLY better for portraiture? Or does it just come down to personal preference?
I don't know (haven't used either) but I'm rather curious about this as well.
If I were to take a wild guess, I'd say that Provia has normal contrast/saturation while Astia is a low-contrast film?
I have used both for portraiture a couple times (I am not a pro at it yet) and I would have to say that I like Astia a lot better for people. It is really beautiful.
I was in a interemediate photography class and there was a PJist there that had been working for 30 years for a newspaper. (she was there to learn studio lighting and such) She had been using a Canon D30 for a while, but our teacher really wanted her to use slide. So she bought some Astia and shot an assignment with both the digi and Astia. She said that she would be shooting Astia exclusively now. She said it was amazing for people.

Damn computer double post.
According to Pop's own film guide (home page, click on film) Astia is good for product, fashion and portrait photography. Stay away from Velvia for portrait work.
You don't really want to mess with pushing film for portraits. It may be okay for club work, but for portrait, stick with Astia.
Trying to keep track of the different Fuji slide flavors is a little mind numbing. Astia and Sensia 100II are supposed to be the same emulsion and are not significantly enhanced. Provia 100F is color enhanced and has a tighter grain structure which is one reason it is more pushable. I've heard that the original Provia 400 is the same as Sensia 400 but I don't think the Provia 400F emulsion is available in a consumer version. I've started to use Sensia 100II for wildlife shooting as an economy measure. I prefer Provia 100F for butterflies and Velvia for landscapes and flowers. ><>
Runamuck, Velvia is not part of this discussion.
I know that the Astia is excellent for portraits, but is the enhanced color or grain, or whatever it is that sets the Provia 100 apart that much better for portraits?
Obviously I'm not going to push anything. I just want to know if these two films differ by much more than price (and sometimes, not even that), for this given situation.
Good info so far, but I have a question. I want to start shooting slide film (I've used negatives exclusively up until now, mostly Superia 100 and 400) and I could use a suggestion on where to start.
I've heard that Velvia is pretty bad for portrait-type work because it's so saturated, but is there such thing as a general-purpose slide film? It sort of sounds like Provia would work well for what I shoot, which can vary quite a bit- everything from sports to occasional landscapes.

gpg.....provia is more like a 100 speed velvia in a way. not as saturated but def. color enhanced. so to answer your question, astia is what u want to stick to for portraits. use provia for landscape, action, night, and cloe up work etc. the main diff between the 2 films is color saturation and contrast. kinda like nps(astia) and reala(provia) using print film references.
by the way...when u become a rich and famous photographer, will u then be Suburban Photo Girl ?

*whispering* don't tell anyone, but I actually am already in the suburbs. shhh!
When I become a rich and famous indie film producer, I'll drive a Porsche (written into my contract of course! [IMG]/ibb/skins/default/emoticons/biggrin.gif[/IMG] ), but I will ALWAYS be a Ghetto Photo Girl!
CUclimber, there is a lot of variation in slide film, starting from pro to consumer grades. My advice is to use the best available within your means. That said, people claim that the consumer-grade Fuji films are pretty close to their pro counterparts, so maybe starting off "cheap" is okay.
Second, there is subject matter. As you have heard, Velvia is great for it's super saturated candy colors, but that also makes it horrible for portraits. I use Provia 400F for it's versatility (I shoot a lot in dark clubs), but prefer the slower stuff for portraits (which prompted me to start this thread). So you're probably right to stick with the Provia, especially since you can push it safely without worrying too much about screwing with the contrast and grain.

Roubini Topic Archive: Emerging Europe and CIS
Staring Into the Ukrainian Economic and Political Abyss
It's been a long time now since Paul Krugman spoke of the Ukrainian economy epitomizing the arrival of what he then termed the "second great depression", and it's been an even longer long time since we lay awake at night dreaming about the coming conquests of the Orange Revolution. It's also been a good time since I looked [...]
Quick Reality Czech
The Czech Republic is the first economy in central and eastern Europe to slide back into a full technical recession during the current downturn (evidently it is unlikely to be the last), with a 0.3 per cent quarter-on-quarter GDP decline in the last three months of 2011, after a 0.1 per cent drop in the previous [...]
From Here to Eternity, Hungarian Style
Hungary's unofficial ambassador to the IMF,Tamás Fellegi, is reportedly facing a "terrible atmosphere" after his arrival in Washington on an exploratory mission whose objective is to open up communication about a new financial lifeline for the country. Frankly, given the recent record of relations between the two institutions involved it isn't hard to understand why. Leaving aside [...]
Is the Risk Accompanying Estonia's Eurozone Membership Really that Low?
"But the go-ahead Estonians are already scenting the next challenge. Should the single currency crumble, they are determined to be on the inside track for any new German-centred "super-euro". Goodbye "eastern Europe"; welcome to the "new north"." -Edward Lucas, writing in The Economist Estonia's economy put in another sterling performance in the second quarter of [...]
Estonia's Now-You-See-Me Now-You-Don't Inflation Rate
Just to follow up on my recent long Estonia post, a couple of new data points have caught my attention recently: the sharp rise in Estonian inflation and the ongoing goods trade deficit.
The Shape of Bulgarian Things to Come
As the IMF say in their most recent staff report on the country, the aftermath of the recent severe economic crisis leaves us with the question as to whether potential output growth in Bulgaria in the years to come is going to be markedly lower than it was during the boom years. As the IMF point out, the current recession was preceded by an investment boom in construction, real estate and the associated financial sectors. Now that the boom (which was always unsustainable, Bulgaria's current account deficit in 2007 hit almost 27% of GDP) is well and truly over in these sectors, the strong associated decline in investment could have large negative effects on output. Moreover, it will take considerable time before the excess labor and resources that are no longer needed in these sectors can be absorbed by other sectors, which suggests that the rate of unemployment may rise yet further and remain higher for some considerable time. Not a uniquely Bulgarian story, but none the less important for that.
Latvia: The Demographic Price Of Procrastination
One of the things I think we can safely say about the impact of the current economic crisis is that the face of Macro Economic theory will never be the same again. Quite what the macro economics of the future will look like is too early to say, but what is clear enough is that the existing corpus has been tested and found wanting: it's predictive capacity is very, very limited, and this is obviously a far from satisfactory situation. -
Croatia: On The Brink of What?
As Croatia enters the final stage of its EU membership talks, it is perhaps a fitting moment to review the other half of the picture, namely where the Croatian economy finds itself, and what the outlook might be for a continuing convergence with the requirements of Euro membership. Understandably, EU officials are fairly cautious about the likely shape and progress of the forthcoming talks (the Union has, after all got rather a lot on its plate at the moment), but Croatian Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor is decidedly more optimistic, since while she recognises that this last phase is likely to be "really difficult and demanding" she still believes that negotiations could be concluded by the end of the year, which would mean that membership in 2012 would become a possibility.
The German Economy Is Essentially "Intact"
According to Bundesbank President Axel Weber, Germany's economic recovery is "essentially intact", and is now set to benefit from stronger demand in countries outside the euro region.
"I firmly believe that the recovery process that began in summer 2009 is essentially intact, and that it will continue despite the slower growth dynamic in the winter semester. An additional factor in this context is that the German labor market continues to be in extremely robust shape."
Too Soon to Cry "Victory" on Latvia
"Doom-mongers" – the Economist tells us – "are licking their wounds". And why exactly are they licking their wounds? Well for two years now (apparently) they have been telling us that "the struggle to save the lat's peg to the euro was bound to end in tears". As you could imagine right in the very forefront of these so called doom-mongers is to be found yours very truly (and here), and of course Nobel Economist Paul Krugman (and here).
