Consuming Bodies: Sex and Contemporary Japanese Art, edited by Fran Lloyd
Worth the read, It would be I good subject of a documentary film. Book Description Consuming Bodies explores the themes of sex and consumerism in contemporary Japanese art and how they connect with the wider historical, social and political conditions in Japanese culture. Essays by writers, historians, curators and artists, plus diary extracts of a sex worker, engage with a range of artistic practices, including performance, digital media, painting, sculpture and installation. Together the contributors examine the contradictions and ambivalences embedded in the Japanese experience of modernity, and the effects of commodification on the individual and the nation state. Sex and consumerism in art are inextricably linked to issues of power, gender, class and race, and move beyond the gallery into private and public realms, where the complex relationships surrounding sexuality and commerce are directly encountered in both the fast-changing marketplace and in the dominant ideologies within Japanese society.With over 150 intriguing illustrations, Consuming Bodies provides a wide-ranging perspective on an under-researched area of contemporary Japanese art practice and the critical issues it uncovers.

J.P. Morgan Premiership Rugby Sevens Series
Saracens clinch Sevens glory
August 6, 2010
Saracens celebrate clinching the Premiership Rugby 7s crown following their victory over Newcastle at The Rec
© Getty Images
Saracens clinched the inaugural J.P. Morgan Premiership Rugby Sevens Series title with a 17-5 victory over Newcastle in the tournament finale at The Rec in Bath. Two tries from captain Kevin Barrett and another from George Kruis saw Sarries claim the first silverware of the season that will go some way to erasing the memory of their narrow defeat at the hands of Leicester in the Premiership Final in May. Saracens made an explosive start to the final with the industrious Barrett bursting through in the opening seconds for a try that was converted by Nils Mordt. Excellent defence blunted much of the attacking endeavour that both sides could conjure with the demands of a pulsating night of 7s action taking their toll in terms of intensity. But a rare lapse in the Saracens rearguard allowed Chris Pilgrim to drag his side back into the contest just before half-time. Saracens responded with another try from George Kruis as the game reached its conclusion with the flanker benefitting from some tired tackles. Trailing by a converted score with the clock running down, the Falcons raised their game in the hope of conjuring a late turnaround but a crucial turnover found its way to the ever-impressive Barrett who put the result beyond doubt with his second try. Pre-tournament favourites Saracens booked their place in the final by seeing off the challenge of Sale and Northampton in Pool A - with the hard-fought and somewhat ill-tempered victory over the Saints a pivotal result on a night when there was no doubt as to the commitment of the teams. Newcastle proved too good for Harlequins and Exeter in Pool B with the Chiefs holding the Falcons to a draw before coming up short in their bid to celebrate their debut as a Premiership side with a final appearance. Saracens took control of Pool A with a comprehensive 24-5 victory over Sale in the night's opening game. Sarries stole an early advantage with a try from Barrett with Mordt adding the extras. Sarries continued to dominate proceedings but failed to capitalise on their territorial advantage and had t rely on an error from Sale to grab their second. A floated pass was picked off by Cato who coasted the length of the field before dotting down and gifting Mordt another simple conversion. Another burst of speed from Cato saw him notch his second try shortly after the break but Sale hit back with a try from Josh Fowles who got on the end of a Henry Thomas cross kick to offer a glimmer of hope to his side. But Jake Sharp put the result beyond doubt with his side's fourth try that also ensured a bonus point. The Pool B action began with Newcastle beating Harlequins 26-19 in a highly entertaining clash. A smart piece of skill from Quins' Miles Mantella put Jack Clifford in for the game's opening try and the pace of Sam Smith saw them double their lead soon after with Howard Graham adding the extras. But back came Newcastle with Steve Parsons cutting a good line through the Quins defence to notch a try. And the Falcons had the lead just after the re-start with Aaron Myers combining well with Fred Burdon for a score that was again converted to give them the lead for the first time in the game. And they extended their lead with a try from Mike Ward who did incredibly well to touch down in the corner under pressure with TV replays suggesting he put a knee in touch. But back came Quins with Charlie Walker scything through the middle of the Falcons defence for a try under the posts, although his grounding was debateable, and his conversion levelled the score with a minute to play. But Burdon had the final say with a try at the death to clinch the win. Northampton began their quest for some early season silverware with a 22-17 victory over Sale but were pushed all the way by the Sharks. A good hand off from Ben Nutley laid the foundation for Northampton's first try and another sustained spell of pressure brought a second from John Brake a couple of minutes later. Fowles blasted his way through the Northampton defence on his way to a score soon after but the response from Saints was swift with Simon Hunt ghosting over in the corner. Sale continued to show sign of life with a try from Will Addison early in the second half and Fowles levelled the scores when gifted an opening by an otherwise resolute Saints defence. But Northampton had the final say in a see-saw clash with Greg Barden dancing his way through to score the match-winning try. Premiership new boys Exeter battled to a 10-10 draw with Newcastle in their first appearance of the evening. The Chiefs wasted no time in taking the lead with Mike Canty darting over in the first minute after a lively opening and their impressive work rate brought further reward midway through the half with Eoghan Grace collecting his own chip through before claiming an excellent score. The dazzling pace of Tyson Lewis then punished some lapse defence from the Chiefs but they could not make any further inroads in the deficit before the break. A great tap tackle from Garrick Cowley on Parsons stopped a near-certain try in a closely fought second half but a yellow card for the Chiefs' Josh Matavesi for a dangerous tackle handed Newcastle a crucial advantage with Burdon crossing in the corner in the immediate aftermath. The conversion was missed ensuring the first draw in this year's competition. Saracens booked their place in the final with a 17-10 victory over Northampton in a heated battle. The pace of Cato once again proved a valuable weapon for Sarries with the speedster claiming his second length-of-the-field effort and his third try of the evening in the opening minutes of the contest. Back came Saints with Nutley crossing in the corner after some good work from James Rodwell who saw yellow after the re-start for the latest dangerous tackle of the evening. The Saints battled bravely in adversity but it was Sarries who grabbed the next try only to see it ruled out and play called back following a scuffle that saw Jackson Wray sent to the sin-bin. Luke Baldwin pounced at the start of the second half to cement Saracens' lead and put them within reach of the final and they continued to weather the loss of Wray with George Kruis barging his way over from close range. Rodwell and Brake combined well to breathe life into Northampton's challenge but they could not overhaul their rivals. Exeter entered the final pool match of the evening against Harlequins requiring a bonus point victory to deny Newcastle a place in the title-decider but never came close with a 17-0 loss ensuring a disappointing end to their title challenge. Quins were in no mood to make things easy and took the lead through a try for Mantella after a bruising opening. Errors littered the Chiefs' efforts to rescue the game while Quins offered plenty of enterprise that resulted in a second try for Mantella before Charlie Walker heaped further woe on the Premiership new boys.

A face lift keeping the old style is hard to do. The Register did it recently: they changed the layout so it was still The Register but nicer and more readable. I'm sure LWN can do it too!
Posted Jun 26, 2006 21:06 UTC (Mon) by ayeomans (subscriber, #1848) [Link]
The fonts used are rather staid. (I'm not intending to start the font war troll, BTW, but some are nicer and easier to read than Times.) The spacing between paragraphs is quite large, leading to a sparse appearance and a need to scroll. The boxes around comments are rather picky. Colours are hardly used at all, when they could enhance navigation, at least for the well-sighted.
Not that I'd either advocate going as far as other sites. Microsoft.com is a great test for short-sightedness :-) Other blogs also test visual discrimination with grey on light grey typography - a triumph of style over function.

Raymond Pettibon "Impressions and Opinions"
08 Feb. 2002 - 11 Apr. 2002 MACBA
The work of Raymond Pettibon (Tucson, Arizona, 1957) follows in the wake of a generation of artists from Los Angeles that includes John Baldessari, Edward Rusch and Jim Shaw. Along with Paul McCarthy and Mike Kelley, Pettibon is a clear exponent of a type of artistic tradition that originated in the West Coast, under the influence of the confrontation between underground subcultures and the fictions churned out by the Hollywood industry. With its mix of images and words, Pettibon's work could be said to begin at the point where comic strip illustrators and pop artists such as Roy Lichtenstein leave off. The sources of his "fictions" (as he calls them) are many and varied: from Goya and Honoré Daumier to the imaginary of television series, magazines and comics, literary references like Marcel Proust, Henry James and William Blake and pulp fiction. The exhibition Raymond Pettibon brought together around a thousand drawings on paper, five videos, and murals specifically designed and executed by Pettibon for the MACBA building, as well as music, books and documents from the artist's archives. The material as a whole confirmed the heterogeneity of an oeuvre in which mass culture is intertwined with religion, sex and art.

Tier Nets $91.1 Million in Regional Economic Development Money
12/19/2012 (Updated 6:52:00 PM)
(Source: Jason Weinstein)"Broome County and the Southern Tier are truly on the verge of an economic revival," said Broome County Executive Debbie Preston.
A year after finishing dead last in the Governor's Regional Economic Development competition, the Southern Tier scored big this time around - a $91.1 million award for 62 projects meant to retain jobs and bring more to the area.
"The team this year did a great job. We really focused on those sectors in the Southern Tier we felt were important, whether they be high technology," said State Senator Tom Libous.
The Southern Tier's proposal - one of ten throughout the state - was named a Best Plan Awardee. $7 million was awarded for the construction of the Southern Tier High Technology Incubator - which will help the $22 million project announced in August get off the ground.
"We have a lot of technology at SUNY. And they'll invent things, develop new things and they leave. Not only do they leave New York, they may leave the country. So by having this incubator this keeps it here," said Preston.
"We have a lot of work to do now. Once you win one of these the
expectations are very high to get the project started as quickly as possible," said BU President Harvey Stenger.
Another $2.1 million will go to a collaboration between BAE
Systems and BU to advance BAE's hybrid-electric propulsion system product lines.
BAE will invest $2.9 million and create 40 new jobs, according to the Governor's Office.
"The hybrid bus systems program they have over there really requires students with this kind of cross-hybrid education so we're going to be developing a curriculum with them. And the students will actually be working at BAE while they're taking this masters degree curriculum," said Stenger.
Other projects awarded sizable grants focus on telemedicine and mobile health care technology, and the development of shovel-ready sites.

SAVE QE3 and Manhattan RE
Will QE3 increase Manhattan RE prices in the near future by lowering mortgage rates/accelerating inflation?
it will keep the bubble from deflating for a longer period of time.
only thing that'll benefit is stocks. morgage rates will go down a bit but they are already low so will not have a significant impact. only way RE gets a boost is if markes rally causes bonuses to increase and employment to increase in finance.
it will help keep the bubble inflated a bit longer but the pop at the back end will be that much worse
Low rates throught 2015, 3 more years is a long time.
Now that the Middle East has re-re-re-re-destabilized, there will be a flood of money coming in from Sana.
Too many Manhattan properties are above the limits set by the GSE's, so the answer is that qe3 has a very very very small effect....if any.
Jason, Silent second's were all the rage before the bubble. Everyone is on to them now. Fannie & Freddie are careful to understand if the down payment is done via borrowing or with real funds. They want skin in the game.
ar - don't quite understand why it was so difficult for you to get financing, particularly with the private banking relationships. What were the problems?
"only thing that'll benefit is stocks"
woo hoo! took some profits today.
There will be a race to "hard assets" at some point when all this printed money from the QE's which is currently frozen hence the low velocity of money decides that inflation is coming and then all hell brakes loose. Condos will benefit as co-ops are not really liquid. Anything that could be considered a hard asset will benefit. When this will happen? No sure but am watching. Could be a while yet.
it definitely helps out building owners as you will see a ton of refi's. also make capital improvement projetcs look better. looks like someone in yorkville likes it lol
Imagine what the maintenance numbers are going to start looking like with major inflation... technically, wouldn't it be worse for condos given they don't have a portion coming from mortgage?
It's going to be great for local business.
Nice big chunk will end up in the pockets of those working in the finance industry and as in the past, those dollars will trickle down towards those who serve their needs. It's what happened first quarter 2011.
Maybe not so much for residential re but as far as local Manhattan businesses are concerned.......
Happy days are here again!
"Banks are CLEARLY lowering credit standards again. There have been countless articles on this. And my own proof is that I am again BOMBARDED with credit card and personal loan offers. My score is unchanged. But I got maybe one a month from 2009-2011, and now I literally get 2-3 offers A DAY."
Seems conflicting evidence. If they really did lower standards, they wouldn't need to hit the same people up over and over again. They're targeting the more qualified, because they may have given up on the less-qualified.
Either way, this doesn't seem evidence of much...
"As a proportion it might seem so, but expenses are expenses."
The challenge is for folks who bought just what they could afford... either way, it doesn't help the "lock in expenses" argument.
apt23 - thanks for the link; Do you like Dalio more than Ackman?
Dalio makes a great point about Fed easing and lending. Quantitative easing does not give banks an ability to expand the balance sheet. Another great point was not to expect outsized returns on stocks and bonds since there's no further room for rates to decline.
not as long as the fed continues to sterlize QE as they buy assets from primary dealers via open market operations. hence the buildup of excess reserves. seems like fed is continuing to recapitalize the banks, and politically taking the stance that all of this is to help the job situation and to stimulate lending. In reality, its recap the banks and allow restructuring of debt to those that can take advantage
Nothing new. He's been preaching this for the past year. Question is, how do you make investment ideas in this QE world? Can't trade macros views successfully most of the times.
Are you willing to watch a growing bubble on the sidelines, doubt it. With rental prices so outrageously expensive here in nyc and cap rates so low, I would argue that ppl will look to buy apts. incrementally once 30 years go down to 3.5% or at some point 3.25%. Right now banks aren't lending cause they are worried about credit and dodd frank regulations, but that will pass and with unlimited QE and cheap financing they will eventually loosen up in order to make money. Sure the yield curve is flattening, but watch banks start leveraging themselves to make that spread juicier. Have we seen regulations on JPM after their whale trade? No, because no one wants to shrink bank balance sheets, b/c that would mean less loans, growing unemployment, and unelectable politicians. Its a rigged game; regulators will modify new banking capital regulations to their benefit, they need to keep their jobs and careers.
Everyone seems to be so weary and negative with the markets, which makes me feel its right to be the contrarian and believe Bernanke scenario will work out. Not that I believe what he is doing is right or healthy, but I think it will do what he says, which is to create a growing stock market, more home buyers, more construction, and the feedback loop etc.
Question is how do we make money? NYC has relatively been strong in the past few years, but are there other markets that will outperform in this bubble? Miami, Southern CA? I am not an expert but interested to hear some ideas.
Urban, I think you are wrong here.
Whether a bank's assets are invested in cash sitting as Fed Reserves, Treasuries, or MBS, the mix of assets, liabilities and equity has not changed.
Noah, the only way I might be inclined to agree with you is if you were talking about the decreased spreads in asset prices(e.g. higher prices) which helps repair the balance sheet, but simply swapping bonds for cash sitting at the Fed is balance sheet neutral. Banks are not lending because of balance sheet constraints (not liquidity), reserves sitting at the Fed has nothing to do with it.
RS, what do you think of Gross' view that banks are not lending because with rates this low spreads are not wide enough to make enough off loans to justify the cost?
No, I don't agree with low interest rates discouraging lending in general. First and foremost its a balance sheet issue. That said, low rates discourages some forms of lending as the premium's don't make the risk worth it. Of course some forms of abusive lending are protected from government lowering of rates, such as pay-day and Credit card lending which no matter what rate the Fed sets, seem to always be at rates that make Vinny the loan shark foam at the mouth.
lowest interest rates of our lives
More money on corporate balance sheets then in any other time in our lives.
Highly favorable tax considerations
unlimited skilled, educated work force willing to work crazy hours for low wages
The problem is no confidence in the foreseeable future. That's what we should be focused on.
More money on corporate balance sheets then in any other time in our lives.
No not really. They just invest it in corporate debt issued by others. On a net basis, this argument does not hold up.
The confidence argument is way over-rated. Companies expand when they see excess demand. Banks lend based on a balance sheet.
"unlimited skilled, educated work force willing to work crazy hours for low wages"
Seriously? There are barely any. In fact this is probably one of our main issues, there is a huge gap between business needs and job applicant skills in my experience (Tech).
The odds of general inflation as a result of QE3 are vanishingly small.
It may increase demand slightly (by reducing interest rates, making it easier for people and companies to borrow and/or cut the costs of existing loans), which could reduce unemployment somewhat.
But it isn't going to encourage a lot of investment because businesses will see little point in expanding without customers to buy their products, and it isn't going to result in a lot of consumer spending because even with low interest rates, too many people feel stretched and nervous.
The issue isn't "confidence" in the abstract. It's very specifically: businesses are completely confident that they do not need to hire or invest. As a result, employees -- consumers -- are confident that they'll get no raise and worried they'll lose their jobs. That makes them reluctant to spend, which validates the business confidence that is the underlying problem.
With the economy running well below capacity, there is nothing that would drive a general inflation. Obviously, drought may drive up the price of corn, Middle Eastern instability and/or recognition of the environmental costs of fracking can always affect the price of energy, and the medical and finance industry may find new ways to extract rents from us. So prices, even important prices, may go up. But it won't be because of QE3 and it won't be a general rise in the wage/price level.
If the government were serious about reducing unemployment, it'd be spending -- there is no better time to invest in desperately needed infrastructure, transportation, education, scientific research, parks, museums, jumpstarting energy efficiency, insulation and renewables, and the other deferred public expenses than when costs are low because capital and labor are sitting idle with nothing else to do. Government hiring people would directly reduce unemployment and put money in the hands of employees -- consumers -- who'd then spend it and make businesses more likely to hire other people to produce.
And it'd be attempting to reduce the value of the dollar, so that American workers could produce for the world instead of the other way around.
But these actions require Republican votes in Congress, so they aren't going to happen.
As for NY RE, the Fed's actions might increase the fundamental value of NY RE somewhat if, for example, it drives sufficient money in the direction of the banks/Wall St to make them feel comfortable taking huge paychecks out of the taxpayers' money. Or if it, unexpectedly, is able to end the recession and improve wages generally.
But NY RE sales prices remain well above any arguable fundamental value. So even if that value increases, it is unlikely to drive sales prices up. At most, rents will rise marginally, thus closing the gap from that direction. The most likely direction for NY RE prices remains down. Probably slowly -- sellers are reluctant to accept nominal losses -- and probably for a very long time.
If the Republicans win the election, expect a quick jump in the stock market (and perhaps an associated upward blip in NYC RE) as Wall St celebrates the prospect of further government giveways (tax cuts) to the 1% and more permission to cheat the rubes. But the "sugar high" won't last long and the drop afterwards will be harsh. In the medium run, it is hard for businesses to prosper without customers, and Republican subsidize-the-rich and squeeze-employees economics destroy ordinary Americans' ability to earn the money they need to be customers. Not to mention that without umpires, the cheaters usually end up destroying the game, as the Wall Streeters did under Bush the Lesser.
LOw interest rates(low or negative real interest rates) and too much liquidity encourage mal-investment and bubbles. The Federal reserve gets a D when it comes to dealing with bubbles, always has always will. The only thing it gets worse grades on is fraud and corruption which it ignores as a regulator.
UD - the only thing that is sterilized by the Fed is Operation Twist, which is simply swapping out maturity dates. QE3 is not sterilized, and excess reserves have nothing to do with it. The Fed pays interest on excess reserves b/c the more excessive reserves a bank has with the Fed, the more it can lend.
Normally a flat yield curve would discourage lending - the open-ended nature of QE3 should prevent that, because banks will have no incentive not to lend because they're basically being told that it's going to last forever, so get used to it. That said, what prevents banks from lending is mostly the market for asset-backed securities; right now there's a big market for ABS's for subprime car loans, so they're making shitloads of subprime car loans. Not so much for mortgages, however, even though mortgages come with a government guarantee.
Liquidity does not cause inflation if there is no demand, because that means there is no velocity of money. Really all the Fed is doing is taking up the slack caused by consumer deleveraging - when all of this is unwound, as it will be, the air will be let out of the system, albeit much more slowly than would have naturally happened, thus avoiding deflation.
Banks' spreads are actually very high right now - much higher than they have been in a long time, because they get free money. Check out credit card rates: they haven't gone down along with the cost of funds. Rather, they've gone up.
I don't know what corporation RS thinks is buying the debt of other corporations. The corporate debt market is basically funded by money-market funds, not by other corporations. Corporations park their money in cash, and in some cases they pay a fee to do so.
And yes - financeguy is correct: the Republican trickle-down economic theory does not work, because it destroys the very customer base the companies need to buy their products. That's why - within reason - when taxes for the wealthy go up, the economy on the whole does better. The Bush tax cuts did nothing but help the rich get richer, and fool the hoi-polloi into thinking that housing prices could go up 25% a year every year forever.
Until they didn't.
Sorta like the Zynga IPO.
the fed only started paying interest on excess reserves in Oct 2008 - that was done to sterilize the QE strategy and incentivize the banks to earn decent coin by parking money into excess reserves. This was the main mis-understanding of all the hyperinflationists that promised skyrocketing inflation from so much money printing. They failed to understand the brute force of debt deflation & the deleveraging process. That is what I meant by sterilizing. Also, the banks are indeed capital constrained and for 5+yrs now have seen consumers experience deteriorating credit quality (clearly not as much today as it was back in 2008) in a high unemployment environment (again, clearly more so in 2008). The only prudent things banks did was to tighten up lending and underwriting standards -- the system doing something to fix itself naturally.
As for the banks making money, I havent been in this mindset for 9-10 months now but I would think the Fed wants to continue the dollar carry trade environment via QE to allow the banks to continue to carry trade their mis-marked assets both on and off balance sheet, methodically and w/out disruptions. Purely for example: What was once marked at 90 cents and bid at 30 cents in 2008, is now marked at 60 cents and bid at 55 cents today. Therefore my thinking is the fed wishes to continue to implement an environment where banks can recapitalize, slowly but surely, by making ez cash on albeit low spreads and by trying to continue the carry trade for marked assets on and off bal sheets..
Been out of this game for a while now, trying to build more Manhattan tools...but curious to hear thoughts on this.
great post financeguy..completely agreed on govt spending now to upgrade infrastructure that is sorely needed across the country. Now is the time to do it, but as you say, politics is the biggest hurdle. So much to to do and the grid and bridges seem to be in the most need of repair/upgrades.
Burn baby,
Why wasn't W67thstreet out sailing on his boat today?
I was looking for his boat, expecting to see him flying the Sprint flag.
Kind of like the Jolly Roger.
and here's the alkiealanhart^^
I haven't been on se for over a week.
I'm not talking to him.
I'm not talking about him.
He's been waiting for me to post a comment all this time so that he now can post his insightful alkie troll comment. Within minutes of my comment.
Last time I posted on se, alkiealanhart made an ass of himself,yet again; calling me a liar.
He said that ali r. would tell everybody about my lies.
Whatever happened with that?
Don't wait for an answer, se readers.
The alkiealanhart has been lying about me, as usual.
Now he's trolling me, trying to start a fight.
huntersburg: it's not that I don't like what alkiealanhart writes about me on se. He's an alkie fool.
It's that he is and has always been a liar.
He lied himself into an alkie corner last week, claiming that ali r. doesn't lie and would reveal the truth about my lies on se.
Never happened, never will happen.
Interest on reserves is not sterlilizing inflation and Q.E. nth to the x, but acting as a bank subsidy. As you say the banks are capital constrained, They can't lend or extend their balance sheet. We aren't seeing the inflation effect feared because the banks are not in a position at the moment to circulate all the liquidity the Fed has attempted to create which is for the moment is having the effect of raising speculative and risky asset pricing and not resulting in increased lending to Main Street.
"low interest rates cause bubbles" -- No, that's just wrong. Bubbles are caused by investors who are willing to pay more than fundamental value for capital assets because they expect to be able to sell to someone else doing the same thing. That is, investors who read Inonada's analyses and say "but he hasn't accounted for the capital gains" or "NY real estate always goes up" or "In the long run, I can assume a 2% over-inflation increase in the value of my apartment even though construction costs go up with inflation" or "Argentinian flight capital will make prices rise" or "demand drives prices".
Bubbles happen with high and low interest rates and can even happen with no credit at all.
All that is necessary for a bubble is that buyers be confident that someone else will be willing to overpay even more later: paying $1m plus $2k maintenance for an apartment that rents for $4k makes perfect sense if you expect to be able to sell for $2m next year. The interest rate is as irrelevant as the taxes, maintenance, rental income and replacement cost in that calculation.
Bubbles end when bubble buyers lose confidence that they'll be able to sell to another bubble buyer for even more. The Fed can help that process along by tightening credit, which forces some potential bubble buyers to drop out, or by raising interest rates, which deters some fundamental buyers. But -- as we've seen in the last several years in NYC -- the bubble can keep right on going if there are enough buyers who don't need credit and they continue to believe in the pipeline following them.
Finance lets' see what the economists say or at least one economics site.
Back in the 80's, Smith and his coauthors ran the first bubble experiments: Students (and professional traders!) kept creating asset price bubbles in these experiments. Lab subjects routinely traded these assets at freely-negotiated prices that were far above their objective cash value. But he found that as subjects played the same game again and again, bubbles became less common--people learned the lesson of The Who: "Won't Get Fooled Again."
One lesson a person could draw at this point: Perhaps lab bubbles don't really tell us about real life. After all, real life lasts a long time, and people in real life hear stories about bubbles, so maybe normal people are already at the Won't Get Fooled stage.
But a funny thing happened: The bubble literature grew. A key finding:
When you add liquidity to the market--even with the same set of experienced players--you can reignite bubbles. Liquidity creates bubbles.
In Minsky's model....boom is fed by an expansion of bank credit that enlarges the total money supply. Banks typically can expand money, whether by the issue of bank's notes under earlier institutional arrangements or by lending in the form of addictions to bank deposits. Bank credit is, or at least has been, notoriously unstable, and the Minsky model rests squarely on that fact.
Paying interest on excess reserves is not to allow banks to earn "decent coin" - the rate is .25% per year. It is to encourage excess reserves to increase the lending capacity of banks. It does not "subsidize" banks either, as they would get interest if the parked their money at other banks; and make even more if they lent. The vast amount of bank lending (mortgages, credit cards, car loans) no longer sits on banks' balance sheets, but rather is sold as ABS's to third parties. The appetite of those clients is what drives what banks will lend on, not how much they have on their balance sheets.
Banks are not primary dealers, RS, so "banks are not in a position at the moment to circulate all the liquidity the Fed has attempted to create" is nonsensical (as usual). Securities firms are primary dealers, and they are separate from their banking parents, if the have one.
There is no evidence for: "is having the effect of raising speculative and risky asset pricing...." The reason that riskier assets increase in price is because their return is greater than 0, which is the return you get on bank deposits today. The lending you discuss is mostly a result of what ABS purchasers will pay for, not who banks will lend to.
And FG is correct again: anticipated future return is a huge part of asset pricing, but that is true in both bubble and non-bubble environments.
Brooks2, READ carefully what I wrote. I said there is not a big market for MBS's right now, & therefore banks are issuing fewer mortgages. Here are the figures for MBS's issued from 2001
2001 $1,693.3
2002 $2,341.9
2003 $3,179.7
2004 $1,924.9
2005 $2,244.7
2006 $2,148.5
2007 $2,231.5
2008 $1,403.6
2009 $2,041.1
2010 $1,975.7
2011 $1,660.2
2012 $1,309.6
Wells Fargo originates 1 in 4 US mortgages. Here are their mortgages held for sale figures
2009 $1,930
2010 $1,736
2011 $1,644
Their first mortgages held on the books were:
2010 $235,568
2011 $226,980
Notice how the figures are falling.
The total volume of MBS's issued is down, and the total volume of mortgages issued is down. If banks keep those assets on their books they can't continue to lend - that is why they sell them as MBS's.
Maybe I don't have a clue, but I was a bank auditor and I do have a degree in economics. The discounted rate of return is one of the principal factors in determining asset prices; that rate consists of interest cash flows for financial assets, and increase value of real assets. Unless you can explain to us why that is not true.
I think you've been watching Rick Santelli too much - it has nothing to do with "Socialist rants," and more to do with Economics and Finance 101.
I have a couple of those, too.
Upcoming BASEL rules and the poor state of bank balance sheets mean shrinking commitments to anything that doesn't have the Fannie,Freddie or GNMA label attached. The "best" of the large banks seems to be Wells Fargo in terms of commitment to this sector. But with mortgage rates at historic lows the duration and credit risk don't make this a fantastic place to be.
Redwood Trust has been virtually the only issuer of prime non-agency mbs in the last several years. I seem to recollect they typically go through Citigroup as lead manager. By the way, the typical size of an offering is like $300 million which is basically a non-event. I guess they are hoping to keep their name out and whet investor appetite. The loans tend to be fairly well underwritten so I doubt the securitizations bring much revenue(I mean profit)

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
I am a firm believer in the idea that any student can be successful in attaining his or her educational goals. The key is to find a way to make the subject matter interesting by way of making it applicable or relevant to the student personally. A student is unlikely to invest much time or energy into performance improvement if not properly motivated or incentivized to do so. Many subjects, like those I teach (English/Writing, French, Portuguese, German and History) all require a great deal of repetition (i.e., practice makes perfect), and long hours of study and practical exercise - which isn't always fun, but always proves extremely validating and rewarding. I have a master's degree in International Affairs from Columbia University, a BA in French and a BA in International Relations, both from the University of Southern California. I also have a French language certificate (Certificat de langue française) in the highest possible level (FLE Niveau supérieur II) from the Sorbonne in Paris. I now work as a professional writer and editor. I'm very passionate about the subjects I teach, and enjoy sharing this with others.
I have studied American History at the undergraduate and graduate levels. My focus has generally been in American military history, and American foreign policy Revolution-present.
I am a professional writer, editor and proofreader. English grammar is a bear, but is also extremely manageable once understood. There's a method to the madness, I promise. Proper grammar is essential when writing college applications, job applications, and even in personal or business correspondence. Grammar extends beyond the perpetual "Is it 'I' or 'me?'" or 'your' or 'you're' questions, and can make or break critical written or oral interactions. It doesn't have to be a struggle, it just needs... Read More
European history has been my passion since high school. I studied European history in Paris and Brussels, and am well-versed in all periods and regions. I have a particular interest in the French Revolution(s) and Restorations, and the Second World War.
French was my first foreign language, and since beginning my studies at the age of 14, it has opened a myriad of doors for me and led me to incredible experiences. I have a BA in French from the University of Southern California, the highest French as a Foreign Language (FLE Niveau Supérieur II) certification from the Sorbonne, and have extensive work experience across the francophone world - including jobs with the French government and French-American Chamber of Commerce, as well as postings...

Having had German-speaking grandparents, I've always had an interest in German history and the German language. I've traveled extensively in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and studied German at the advanced level at Columbia during my graduate studies. I know German is an extremely difficult language to learn (Mark Twain once said that life is too short to learn German), and often very tedious, too. I know, however, that a solid and confident understanding of the concepts behind the tricky... Read More
I have a solid writing background, which I've developed over the course of my educational and professional careers. I was a writer for the USC and Columbia student papers, a speechwriter for the French Foreign Ministry, and now work as a professional writer.
Portuguese was my third foreign language to study. I went to Brazil for the first time in 2004 and fell in love with the country, the people, the music, and of course the language. I made subsequent trips around Portugal in 2005 studying the language and Portuguese culture, and since then have returned to Brazil nearly annually. I studied Portuguese at the advanced level at Columbia during my graduate studies, and took dialectics courses in the Portuguese spoken around the world including the... Read More
My grandfather gave me my first atlas when I was 5, and I've been hooked ever since. My undergraduate and graduate studies have both been in International Affairs, and I've traveled all over the world for work and for studies. I am confident I have the background to make this subject interesting and relevant.
I love world history. Since high school, I've made it the core of my studies, and I believe my world is exponentially larger today as a result. While my passion is for European imperial history, my knowledge is certainly not limited thereto. I am also very interested and knowledgeable about military history (my graduate studies focused on International Security Policy), especially that of the 20th century.
I have had much educational and professional experience proofreading. As a student at Columbia, I edited the World Affairs section of the student paper, and have also edited speeches and correspondence for the diplomats of France's Foreign Ministry. I now work as a professional writer, so proofreading is a huge part of my life.

[GRAPHICS] Doane Icon & Loading Screens
I have made an icon for Doane. I had some other variations but considering the image should be 32x32 the rest didn't look right, so here it is the final version.
There are 3 sizes: Doane --> Standard Doane_BIG --> Bigger image (for those with icons using up to 132x132 sizes) Doane_BIG_VISTA --> (png) version which only should work with newest SOs. Also, do you consider the addition of new loading screens? We could maintain the existing one and add some more. Is there a possibility to change the code to take a screen randomly from 4 or 5 different images? If it's not possible, how about changing the existing one? That's said, the mod is using the same image in the menu and the loading screen. Maybe we could find other image which fits the theme of the mod. |

welcome to the hindmarsh landcare network website
The Hindmarsh Landcare Network (HLN) aims to bring local Landcare groups together to improve and protect the natural environment of the West Wimmera and Southern Mallee. It also gives individual Landcare groups and communities a united voice and helps develop local projects, increase investment for environmental action and accelerate the level of work on private land.
HLN has four major areas of interest including:
- Protection of Native Vegetation with particular reference to improved habitat, rare, threatened and endangered species and connecting plant communities
- Control and management of Pest Plant and Pest Animal species protecting productive land use and natural environment
- Improved condition of waterways and wetlands, and protection of the surrounding environment
- Improved landholder uptake and implementation of sustainable agricultural practices
Go to About Us for more information.
Project Hindmarsh Planting Weekend 17th, 18th August 2013
Project Hindmarsh is the Hindmarsh Landcare Network's most successful and well known flagship program. The program is a collaborative effort between the Network and a range of stakeholders and agencies. Every year many projects are completed under the flag of Project Hindmarsh by the Network and project partners.
This Planting Weekend we are expecting over 200 volunteers to join us at the Little Desert Nature Lodge for a weekend of fun and hard work, helping to revegetate and restore native vegetation on both public and private land. To register for the Planting Weekend, please click on the link after the information below and fill out the registration form. You will be able to indicate which planting site you would like to attend on your registration form (no guarantees you will get this but at least let us know your preference based on the information below).
Planting Site Maps - Saturday 17th August
Site 1 - Snape Reserve (pdf, 2041kbs)
Rated as: Easy to Med, 3 separate planting zones, sandy rises and Mallee flats.
Snape Reserve is a Trust for Nature site, acquired in 2002. The volunteers who dedicate their time to the Reserve have an aim to protect remnant vegetation, undertake revegetation work to allow the Reserve to return to its natural condition and undertake weed control. The volunteers also have an overall aim to allow nature to take its course on the Reserve. In 2003 Project Hindmarsh volunteers undertook revegetation works on the Reserve and 10 years on they are back again to continue the great work.
Site 2 - Haines (pdf, 2025kbs)
Rated as: Medium to hard site, long site with loamy soils.
We have been planting shelter belts on our land since 1990, and when we bought this property twelve months ago it seemed natural to stamp it as ours by establishing more trees on it. We farm biodynamically, and including native vegetation in our ecosystem is part of our holistic approach to farming. This project will involve planting a twenty metre wide strip of vegetation along each of the northern and southern boundaries of our new block, a total of over six km. Importantly, these belts will become natural corridors westwards from the Wimmera River, through our home farm to the Gerang Glenlee Rd, which has several excellent flora reserves along it.
Don Haines.
Site 3 - Jaeschke (pdf, 1025kbs)
Rated as: Easy-Med site, small concentrated site and river flat country.
The site is an anabranch off the Wimmera River, a Riverine Chenopod Woodland, which will have infill planting done to enhance the majestic old Blackbox trees that are present and now regenerating after the flood.
Waterproof footwear will be needed if wet and a large part of the planting will be niche planting into the swamp area with a smaller area of corridor planting. Craspedia paludicola (Swamp Billy buttons) Pycnosorus chrysanthes (Billy buttons) Pycnosorus globosus (Drumsticks) are just a sample of the species to be planted.
Planting Site Map - Sunday 18th August
Site 4 - Maddern (pdf, 1270kbs)
Rated as: Medium to easy, lighter Mallee soil type.
Andrew Maddern runs a Merino and first cross lamb enterprise in the Sandsmere area, maintaining shelter belts throughout the property is key to success for healthy and happy stock. Andrew has been involved with past re-veg projects and farm forestry plantings.
This 2013 planting will protect paddocks from Westerly winds and create a link to remnant vegetation in the landscape.

Oct. 23, 2000 Researchers from Temple University and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama have found some of the earliest direct evidence of root crop cultivation in the Americas, it was reported in a recent edition of the journal Nature (Oct. 19).
The researchers, part of a joint Temple-Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute project in Panama, found starch grains on stone tools excavated from a rockshelter found on a coastal plain of that Central American country. The grains were identified as coming from domesticated root crops such as arrowroot and manioc as well as from maize that date back nearly 7,000 years.
The question of when and where Native Americans first developed agriculture is controversial, partly because so much of the evidence is indirect. Many of the crops used developed from plants in the tropical forests, leading to suggestions that these humid regions were early centers of plant husbandry.
"If these crops were already domesticated--meaning they¹ve already been altered from their wild form and are being grown as crops--in Panama 7,000 years ago, they must have been domesticated much earlier," says Dr. Anthony Ranere, chair of Temple¹s anthropology department and a co-author of the study. "What this means is that farming was taking place in the forests of tropical America earlier than most people think."
Ranere directed the initial excavation of the rockshelter in 1973 and again in 1975 and returned to direct new excavations in 1997 with the assistance of fellow Temple faculty member Dr. Patricia Hansell, one of the study¹s co-authors.
In addition to Ranere and Hansell, the study was co-authored by Dolores Piperno, a Temple alumna, and Irene Holst, both of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, located in Panama.
