Having avoided an arbitratioon hearing with Jarrod Saltalamacchia yesterday, Sox GM Ben Cherington got down to work today, signing everyone else, save for pitcher Craig Breslow, but the figures he and the club exchanged are nearly identical ($2.375 vs. $2.325 million), so that's a done deal, too.
Here's what the club has to say about it::
Alfredo Aceves, Andrew Bailey, Daniel Bard, Jacoby Ellsbury, Joel Hanrahan, Andrew Miller, and Franklin Morales all avoid arbitration
BOSTON, MA—The Boston Red Sox today agreed to terms with right-handed pitchers Alfredo Aceves, Andrew Bailey, Daniel Bard and Joel Hanrahan, left-handed pitchers Andrew Miller and Franklin Morales, and outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury on one-year, non-guaranteed contracts for the 2013 season, thus avoiding salary arbitration. Terms were not disclosed. The announcement was made by Executive Vice President/General Manager Ben Cherington.
Aceves served as Boston's primary closer for much of the 2012 season and recorded a career-high 25 saves. He finished second among AL relievers with 84.0 innings and averaged a career-high 8.04 strikeouts per nine innings while going 2-10 with a 5.36 ERA in a team-leading 69 appearances. The 30-year-old leads the AL with 269.2 innings of relief work since 2009. Signed by Boston prior to the 2011 season, he owns a 26-13 record (.667) with a 3.56 ERA over 183 career major league outings (nine starts) between the New York Yankees (2008-10) and Red Sox (2011-12).
The 28-year-old Bailey was limited to 19 games for the Red Sox last year after opening the season on the 60-day disabled list recovering from right thumb surgery. He posted a 1-1 record with six saves, a 7.04 ERA, and 14 strikeouts with Boston and combined for a 1.42 ERA (1 ER/6.1 IP) with 10 strikeouts over six rehab appearances prior to his August 14 activation. Acquired from Oakland in December 2011, Bailey has 81 saves and a career 2.47 ERA to go along with an 8-11 record and 188 strikeouts over a four-year major league career with the A's (2009-11) and Red Sox (2012).
Bard, 27, appeared in 17 games for the Red Sox last season, including the first 10 starts of his career, and went 5-6 with a 6.22 ERA. In 209 big league appearances with the Red Sox over the last four seasons, he is 10-19 with five saves, a 3.65 ERA, and 251 strikeouts. He set new club single-season records for holds in both 2010 (1st in AL, 32) and 2011 (T-1st in AL, 34), and his 79 career holds rank fifth in the AL since the start of 2009. A first-round selection in the June 2006 draft, Bard also ranks among AL relief leaders in strikeouts (10th, 217) and opponent batting average (5th, .196) over the last four seasons.
Ellsbury, 29, hit .271 with 18 doubles, four home runs, 26 RBI, 43 runs and 14 stolen bases in 74 games with the Red Sox in 2012. He missed 79 games after suffering a right shoulder subluxation on April 13. He returned July 13 and played in 67 games.
Boston's first-round selection in the June 2005 draft, Ellsbury has a .297 career average with 124 doubles, 23 triples, 56 home runs, 261 RBI, 384 runs, and 189 stolen bases in 581 major league games, all with the Red Sox, from 2007-12. He earned All-Star, Silver Slugger, Rawlings Gold Glove and American League Comeback Player of the Year honors in 2011, finishing second in AL MVP voting that year.
A two-time All-Star closer, Hanrahan was acquired by the Red Sox in a six-player trade with Pittsburgh on December 26. The 31-year-old went 5-2 with a 2.72 ERA and 67 strikeouts over 59.2 innings in 63 games with the Pirates in 2012, finishing fifth in the NL with both 36 saves and a 90.0 percent save rate (40 chances). He held opponents to a .187 average last year, sixth-best among qualifying National League relievers. Hanrahan ranks fourth among NL relievers over the last two seasons with 76 saves and a 2.24 ERA (min. 100.0 IP). Selected by the Dodgers in the second round of the June 2000 draft, he has compiled a 22-17 record with 96 saves, a 3.74 ERA and 436 strikeouts in 353 games (11 starts) over his six-year major league career with the Nationals (2007-09) and Pirates (2009-12).
Miller, 27, went 3-2 with a 3.35 ERA and 51 strikeouts compared to 20 walks in 53 relief appearances with the Red Sox in 2012. He posted career-best marks in games, holds (13), ERA, WHIP (1.19) and opponent AVG (.194) en route to being named the Red Sox Fireman of the Year by the Boston BBWAA. Miller limited left-handed batters to a .149 average (13-for-87) last year, the second-lowest mark in the AL (min. 100 batters faced) and top by a Sox lefty since at least 1974, and stranded 39 of 46 inherited runners (84.8 percent) for the AL's fifth-best rate. Signed by the Red Sox as a minor league free agent in December 2010, Miller owns a 24-31 record with a 5.54 ERA and 339 strikeouts in 149 major league games (66 starts) over parts of seven seasons with the Tigers (2006-07), Marlins (2008-10) and Red Sox (2011-12). He was originally a first-round selection of Detroit in the June 2006 draft.
The 26-year-old Morales made 37 appearances last season, including a career-high nine starts, in his first full season in the Red Sox organization before missing the club's last 37 games due to injury. He totaled a 3-4 record with one save and a 3.77 ERA, including a 4.14 mark (21 ER/45.2 IP) as a starter and 3.23 (11 ER/30.2 IP) out of the bullpen. The left-hander struck out 76 batters, including an average of 9.26 strikeouts per 9.0 innings as a starter (47 K/45.2 IP), and limited left-handed hitters to a .184 clip (18-for-98) with just two extra-base hits all year. Acquired from the Rockies in May 2011, Morales is 11-16 with 11 saves, a 4.36 ERA, and 221 strikeouts in six major league seasons between the two clubs.
With today's agreements, left-handed pitcher Craig Breslow is the only remaining unsigned Red Sox player eligible for salary arbitration.

Will Gold Euro Rollercoaster Continue?
Will Gold Euro Rollercoaster Continue?
Forex Traders writes: At some point in every tutorial on investing, the relationship between Gold and the U.S. Dollar is referred to as an inverse correlation, meaning that as the value of the Dollar goes down, then an investor would expect the value of Gold to go in the opposite direction. As with any "rule", there are always exceptions, but if the Fed expands the money supply, it is a safe bet that Gold might appreciate, since it is priced in Dollars on the global market. If you dilute the Dollar's value, Gold must go up to compensate.
What about Gold's relationships with other currencies? Currencies come in pairs. If the Euro, for example, strengthens versus the greenback, then you could expect that Gold would be a willing "dance partner" and follow the Euro around the dance floor, so to speak. Uncertainty, however, can spoil this "tango", and when it is running high in the minds of investors, Gold tends to reach for higher territory, as everyone runs for the hills. When crises hit, capital rushes to safe havens, typically precious metals and treasuries.

"Best stay of our Fall Foliage trip"
Mr Kelly, the owner, is the best. He really shows what customer service is all about. I reserved two roooms throught Hotels.com and he did not get any contact information for us from the site. Once we showed up at 8:00pm, he, personally, took us to show us our room options. He even allowed us to chose from several different room options and decide which […] would work best for my parents, both of which have slight mobility issues. He gave us excellent recommendations for local restaurants and even called ahead for our first night's dinner location and we were greeted by the restaurant manager or owner personally upon arrival. I am truly sold on these older "Mom and Pop" inns, and will take my chances every time over the corporate chains that are out there. It was a 15 minute drive to the Steamship Authority ferry that took us to Martha's Vineyard for the day. While this is definitely not the swankiest place I have ever stayed, it certainly tops my all-time list of favorites as far as COMFORT is concerned.

"4th of July 2012"
This hotel aims to please and they have hit the mark. This was my family's 1st time on the Cape and for 4th of July. From the moment we walked in we felt at home, the staff were really nice, personable, and very helpful. The room was very comfortable and overlooked the pool and lake. The room we rented had two queen beds, flat screen t.v, and a kitchenette. […] We alternated between paddle boating and the pool all day. Milton(the owner) recommended the Falmouth Heights Beach for fireworks; that was an excellent choice, they were wonderful and the music that accompanied it was beautiful; they also played Whitney Houston's I will always love you! Everything we needed(CVS, restaurants etc) were all within close proximity to the hotel. This hotel was so perfect for us that my sister and I are going to make it our annual 4th of July family getaway spot. Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com

Travel 503/1003 - Take the long way home
Imagine that you could easily and cleanly break your outboard down into three parts for simple transport and storage. And in just a few easy steps, put it back together again. Imagine that you could accelerate with such control that your enjoyment on the water begins when you cast off in the harbor. Imagine that you could change from traveling ahead to astern with just a twist of the hand. And that during normal passage, you could converse at a normal volume. Yes you can! With the Travel. In terms of performance and efficiency, it provides everything a gasoline outboard offers, but it's much more convenient, quieter and more environmentally friendly.
The Travel 1003 drives tenders, dinghies and daysailers up to 1.5 tons effortlessly for up to 10 hours. The tiller display with its integrated GPS receiver constantly provides a precise overview of how fast you're traveling and the remaining range, so that you always know that you'll be able to get to where you want to. If you've drained the lithium battery, recharge it when you get back to the shore or with the 12V on-board system. To do so, you don't have to dismantle the entire motor; it's enough to unplug the battery, which, at around 9 lbs really isn't very heavy, and carry it to the power source.
You can also increase your range while you're on the water by using the solar charger to increase the battery charge. It's no wonder that the Travel, which was awarded "Best Choice Winner" along side a range of other distinctions and awards, has also been chosen as "Green Product of the Year 2011" A wonderful outboard – and we're not the only ones who think so: "... the powerful thrust produced by the Torqeedo Travel 1003 makes one thing clear: electric outboards are here to stay" Practical Sailor (USA)

Demographic information recently released by a company called ZipCode.org bring some interesting Boca Grande facts to light that we thought we would share with you, our loyal readers.
To say we're slightly different than the rest of the country is an understatement. These statistics, by the way, were based on the 2000 census, and are only for the 33921 zip code.
For instance, most people who live here know we have approximately 1,500 residents. Did you know, though, that 1,490 of those residents listed "white" as their ethnicity, six listed "black," 17 listed "Hispanic" and two listed themselves as Asian?
We also have more women than men, according to this set of statistics. ZipCode.org said that our female population is 793, while 707 are men.
Many who aren't aware of Boca Grande's unique population would be puzzled to read that while the average house on the island lists for $766,800, the average income is $127,020.
To some it would appear we are wizards with money.

Recycling containers come to downtown Waynesville
Written by Becky Johnson- Waynesville says no to blow-up gorillas: Off-the-beaten path businesses seek signage answers
- Lake Junaluska merger proponents preparing for round two
- Town has begun thinning white pine
- Waynesville listens to plan for reconfiguring N. Main, Walnut
- Waynesville wants input on plan for North Main, Walnut streets
- Changing of the guard
- Waynesville to get four electric car charging stations
- Waynesville sweetens pot for affordable housing project
No more schlepping those empty drink bottles or cans home after a day of browsing in downtown Waynesville.
A dozen recycling containers will soon be scattered around Main Street and its surrounds.
The town made the move purchase and install recycling cans based on requests from merchants as well as residents, according to Alison Lee Melnikova, the assistant town manager.
Melnikova scouted the streets and sidewalks with Downtown Waynesville Association Director Buffy Messer recently to assess where to put the new containers, but the final locations are still being decided.
The recycling containers will look similar to the public trash cans around downtown, with the vertical wood slats, but will be dark green in color and are actually made from recycled plastic, although they look like wood, Melnikova said. The recycling containers will cost the town $5,000.
For special events and festivals, DWA put out portable recycling cans, but the rest of the year, Main Street browsers faced the unfortunate conundrum of what to do with those recyclables — either toting a sticky can around or guiltily tossing it when it seems no one is looking.

Its time for The British Bead Awards !! Last year I entered two categories – The Metal Clay Category which I won, with my "Pod Ring", and the Lampwork Beads Category. My beads named "Liberty" are pictured below and made it into the finals.
I am looking forward to setting aside a little more time to spend on my lampwork beads, which I'll use to make my favorite style – DOTTY beads!!!
Ive also got a rather long tube of silver which needs to be put to good use! So I think I shall also be making more of these

Kate and Laura Mulleavy do not shy away from the mixed bag. In fact, the duo behind Rodarte has a knack for mixing materials and references, as was apparent on Tuesday's runway. For spring, corseted leather pants and fringed vests made a chic/punk statement and were interspersed with sophisticated lattice and embroidered looks. But the sporty, color-blocked, chunky sandals really stole the show. With neoprene, mesh insets and wide patent straps, many of the shoes had an athletic bent, while some with iridescent panels even verged on "Transformer"- or "Tron"-like. Best of all, though, was this graphic tri-colored sandal, which combines several elements, yet still strikes a balance of beautiful form and function.

Read the Samuels Plan: Full Whitepaper or Whitepaper Summary on A Proposal to Use the Proceeds of Casino Gambling to Fund Education and Campaign Finance Reform
Governor Cuomo's 2012 Amendment Adds, "and except casino gambling regulated by the state..."
The New York State Constitution bans casino gambling, but New York has:
- Lotteries, including Lotto, Lotteries, Daily Numbers, Keno and Scratch Off Tickets
- Parimutuel Betting on Horse Racing
- Native American Casinos
- Charity Bingo
- Racino's, with casino-style slot machines and video table games that the state deems "Video Lottery Terminals"
All of these are legal through a combination of constitutional exceptions, federal policy on Native American lands and agreements negotiated solely between the Governor and tribal leaders.
As a result, our Constitutional "ban" is not really a ban at all, but merely a roadblock to having casino gambling in New York under a unified regulatory structure that ensures that New York's taxpayers are the prime beneficiaries of casino gambling in our state.
The State Contstitution could be ammended to allow for full casino gambling under state and local control.
The constitution is supposed to be the legal foundation of our state, but on casino gambling, multiple amendments and federal preemptions have all but eviscerated the original intent of the constitutional ban on gambling.
But with our state facing an ongoing budget crisis, a severe lack of jobs in many of its regions, and the need for an enhanced base for tourism from which to draw customers, it may be time to reconsider the ban overall. Could a streamlined and modernized constitutional policy keep more dollars in state, create jobs and generate much needed revenues for our schools, hospitals and other core services?
The increased state funds from gambling could allow us to again be a progressive leader on the issues that matter most to New Yorkers, including education, healthcare and environmental protection. Casino gambling could also be a shot in the arm to get our economy moving again.
In 2010, New York State's total revenues from gaming were $2.7 billion, most of it from the lottery ($2.2 billion). Revenue estimates based upon permitting current Video Lottery Terminal locations to offer table games, or on allowing new commercial casinos altogether, range from hundreds of millions to over a billion dollars a year. In addition, increased business at state-licensed casinos could be a boon to local economies, including the Catskills and Upstate New York, where jobs and new investment continue to be scarce.
The New York State Constitution's general prohibition against gambling provides that there be "no lottery or the sale of lottery tickets, pool-selling, book-making, or any other kind of gambling" in the state. The constitution also includes a series of exceptions to this ban to allow lotteries and horse racing, and in recent years federal preemption has allowed the development of Native American-owned casino's. This, plus the recent opening of multiple racino's which feature slot machines and video table games, has created a gambling industry the falls under multiple regulatory structures at different levels of government.
How did we get to this point in the state's fundamental legal framework for gambling, and what is its practical effect?
Bill Of Rights
§9. 1. ... no lottery or the sale of lottery tickets, pool-selling, book-making, or any other kind of gambling, except lotteries operated by the state ... and except pari-mutual betting on horse races ...AND EXCEPT CASINO GAMBLING AT NO MORE THAN SEVEN FACILITIES AS AUTHORIZED AND PRESCRIBED BY THE LEGISLATURE...

Sexually transmitted diseases (also known as STDs — or STIs for "sexually transmitted infections") are infectious diseases that spread from person to person through intimate contact. STDs can affect guys and girls of all ages and backgrounds who are having sex — it doesn't matter if they're rich or poor.
Unfortunately, STDs have become common among teens. Because teens are more at risk for getting some STDs, it's important to learn what you can do to protect yourself.
STDs are more than just an embarrassment. They're a serious health problem. If untreated, some STDs can cause permanent damage, such as infertility (the inability to have a baby) and even death (in the case of HIV/AIDS).
One reason STDs spread is because people think they can only be infected if they have sexual intercourse. That's wrong. A person can get some STDs, like herpes or genital warts, through skin-to-skin contact with an infected area or sore.
Another myth about STDs is that you can't get them if you have oral or anal sex. That's also wrong because the viruses or bacteria that cause STDs can enter the body through tiny cuts or tears in the mouth and anus, as well as the genitals.
STDs also spread easily because you can't tell whether someone has an infection. In fact, some people with STDs don't even know that they have them. These people are in danger of passing an infection on to their sex partners without even realizing it.
Some of the things that increase a person's chances of getting an STD are:
As with many other diseases, prevention is key. It's much easier to prevent STDs than to treat them. The only way to completely prevent STDs is to abstain from all types of sexual contact. If someone is going to have sex, the best way to reduce the chance of getting an STD is by using a condom every time.
People who are considering having sex should get regular gynecological or male genital examinations. There are two reasons for this. First, these exams give doctors a chance to teach people about STDs and protecting themselves. And second, regular exams give doctors more opportunities to check for STDs while they're still in their earliest, most treatable stage.
In order for these exams and visits to the doctor to be helpful, people need to tell their doctors if they are thinking about having sex or if they have already started having sex. This is true for all types of sex — oral, vaginal, and anal. And let the doctor know if you've ever had any type of sexual contact, even if it was in the past.
Don't let embarrassment at the thought of having an STD keep you from seeking medical attention. Waiting to see a doctor may allow a disease to progress and cause more damage. If you think you may have an STD, or if you have had a partner who may have an STD, you should see a doctor right away.
If you don't have a doctor or prefer not to see your family doctor, you may be able to find a local clinic in your area where you can get an exam confidentially. Some national and local organizations operate STD hotlines staffed by trained specialists who can answer your questions and provide referrals. Calls to these hotlines are confidential. One hotline you can call for information is the National STD Hotline at 1-800-227-8922.
Not all infections in the genitals are caused by STDs. Sometimes people can get symptoms that seem very like those of STDs, even though they've never had sex. For girls, a yeast infection can easily be confused with an STD. Guys may worry about bumps on the penis that turn out to be pimples or irritated hair follicles. That's why it's important to see a doctor if you ever have questions about your sexual health.

The Importance of Thinking Big
When a newspaper or magazine requests a photograph to accompany an article showcasing your organization, you won't send them a wallet-size photo-booth snap, will you?
That happens at The Chronicle every week. Charities unwittingly send me dozens of photographs so small they would look terrible if published, so we cannot use them. Most photos start out large, but unless they have been saved in the original, raw size (or as large as possible), there's a good chance they're far too small to appear in any print publication. That photo you think is large enough may not be.
Photographic images are made up of tiny dots, and the quality of a photograph, or resolution, is measured in dots per inch (dpi). In a printed picture with extremely low dpi, you can easily see the individual dots (think of a comic-book image).
When a photo needs to have its dpi increased, the photo…

How Every Worker Can Show Off a Charity's Mission
What if your organization is lucky (or prescient) enough to have thousands of great photos depicting your mission? What creative ways could you use them to advance your charity's voice and connect with people in a real way?
Last September, as it was adopting a new look to reinforce the organization's identity, Conservation International's creative-services team brainstormed an innovative approach. Because the group did not have much money to spend to publicize its new look, it needed a simple tool to help tell its story in a different way.
Selecting 33 stunning images of wildlife and natural settings from its archives, the charity now features them on employees' business cards.
"It's now fun to give out my business cards; people always say, 'Wow!' " says Heather Luca, the organization's creative-services senior director. "I flip them over, splay the…

A Twist on the Usual Hard-Hat Picture
When the Houston Ballet conducted an endowment campaign for its new Center for Dance, which opened in April, its public-relations team turned the traditional topping-off ceremony into an exciting event with a simple idea:
Put dancers at the construction site! Put hard hats on their heads!
"Buildings are built every day," notes Shauna Tysor, the ballet's public-relations manager. Instead, she says, the organization decided to emphasize its mission. "Go with what's unique about your organization," she urges. "With your photo, you can remind people what it's for: 'Oh, it's for dance,' not 'Oh, it's a building under construction.' "
The dancers and entire…

How Great Photos Can Tell a Charity's Story
Made you smile, right? Water.org's photo of Indian schoolchildren celebrating fresh drinking water truly grabs the viewer. It's spontaneous. It's exuberant. And it's a newspaper art director's dream photo.
As the person who has overseen how The Chronicle looks for more than 20 years, I should know.
All nonprofits yearn for more and better media coverage. Your charity may have the most innovative or successful or tear-jerking story, but without photos, many news-media outlets won't give that story good placement—especially in the digital age.
I know, I know—not every organization has the built-in cachet of cute kids or dramatic events. But any organization can take good photos.
For instance: Although the mission of Court Appointed Special Advocates…

2014 Rolls-Royce Cars
Rolls-Royce has been considered the ultimate vehicle for decades, and their Phantom ultra-luxury sedan is a testament to Rolls-Royce's reputation. An entry-level Rolls Royce Ghost retails for around a quarter million dollas, while a top-of-the-line Phantom Coupe approaches the half million dollar mark. Unsurpassed levels of comfort, the best interior materials and unparalleled exclusivity are hallmarks of Rolls-Royce cars, but only a select few are able to enjoy this level of craftsmanship.
It doesn't get much better than Rolls-Royce. Considered the world's finest automobiles, Rolls-Royce has been under the stewardship of BMW for over a decade, and their Phantom sedan, launched in 2003, revived the brand from near obscurity to one of the foremost symbols of extreme wealth.

To rescue Europe, our leaders need a new sense of resolve
Our limited resources won't stretch far without determination.
By Jean Pisani-Ferry Published 11 July 2012The two most important questions for the future of Europe are, first, what the euro area must do to rescue itself and, second, whether it has a strategy. The first question arises because the euro crisis has exposed grave design flaws. It is these flaws, compounded by repeated tactical mistakes in responding to market alarms, that explain at least as much as failures to enforce rules why Europe has reached the point at which the very existence of its currency is at stake.
Monetary union in its first 12 years relied on a series of assumptions that were ultimately proved wrong. To start with, it was assumed that, beyond the European single market, a common currency required only the delegation of monetary authority to a common central bank and ensuring that governments abide by fiscal discipline rules. According to this view – in effect, a variant of the Lawson doctrine – there was no need to monitor privately determined external imbalances and credit booms and there was no need for a euro-area financial policy.
Even in the late 1980s, this was disputable. The absence of a financial component to the euro was raised by the Bank of England in the negotiation of the Maastricht Treaty but the seriousness of this omission became clear only with the debacle of Ireland and Spain, whose fiscal records were apparently impeccable, and the sudden arrest of north-south capital flows within the euro area. Another related, erroneous assumption was that, apart from monetary policy, governance had only to rest on rules. This amounted to pretending that effective arms control makes an army redundant.
Uncharted territory
Finally, there was an assumption that as all EU countries would join at some point – at least all those without a waiver – the complexities inherent in the coexistence of countries inside and outside the currency area would disappear. The functioning of the euro could therefore be based on a relatively narrow set of specific provisions and arrangements. This assumption, however, is no longer credible, if it ever was. If the euro survives its crisis (which is still likely), it will be seen as a coalition of the willing, not the currency of the EU. In such conditions, there must be a much clearer distinction between what belongs to the 27 and what belongs to the 17.
Reform has started. For two years, the euro area has painfully built financial and operational crisis-management capabilities. In the process, it is creating a sort of government that is able to take decisions based on judgement and has the ability to act upon them – at this stage admittedly still a rather awkward one. A messy but undisputable process of rebuilding has begun with the adoption of eurozone-specific legislation and a new fiscal treaty. There are plans to monitor internal imbalances and credit developments. At the euro summit in June, there was a recognition that in order to be financially resilient, the euro area must equip itself with a banking union.
The euro-area countries have thus embarked on a journey into new territory. Even something as apparently technical as a banking union has far-reaching implications. It involves cutting incestuous ties between banks and governments at the national or regional level. It implies giving a European authority the power to close down banks and distribute losses between shareholders, creditors, depositors and taxpayers – an inherently political choice. It makes it indispensable to secure access to tax revenues, so that the ability to act in a crisis is not hampered by a lack of resources. It entails the risk of large-scale, cross-border transfers in the event of a banking crisis affecting part of the area only. It requires representation of taxpayers and the accountability of supervisors.
In effect, a banking union is a sort of off-balance-sheet fiscal union. Its off-balance-sheet character is a source of complexity but it magnifies rather than diminishes its fiscal character. One should never forget that the median fiscal cost of a banking crisis is 5 per cent of GDP in advanced economies and that for Ireland it has reached 40 per cent.
Yet the process lacks credibility. Markets are being told there is agreement on strengthening governance but what has emerged from the recent ministerial meeting is another unconvincing compromise; they are being told a banking union is in the making but neither the agenda nor the timetable for building it; they are being told that the European Stability Mechanism could buy Italian debt but neither how much nor when; they are being told that leaders will do whatever it takes to maintain the integrity of the euro area but preparations are being made for a Greek exit. The markets cannot be blamed for emulating Saint Thomas and believing only what they can touch. They cannot be blamed for asking if words will be followed by deeds.
Part of the process
Lack of credibility is lethal because it makes the solution to any problem much more demanding than it should be. Italy is a case in point: last year, it had a structural primary surplus of 2 per cent of GDP on its budget, more than any other euro-area country. But self-fulfilling market doubts are putting its solvency at risk.
In this context, the first thing needed is a precise agenda for negotiation on banking union and other systemic reforms, such as debt mutualisation. Leaders should not pretend to concur on issues they have not even discussed but should rather initiate a thorough, time-bound and credible process of discussion among ministers. Markets can be patient if they are assured that such a process has started in earnest and will deliver results within a certain time frame.
The other and no less urgent thing leaders should do is to adopt a coherent stance on problem countries. One strategy is to keep the euro area together and make sure all participating countries are given the chance to recover within it. This implies doing more for Greece, setting a framework for giving assistance to Spain and protecting Italy. Another, more adventurous strategy is to kick out Greece and ring-fence the countries that are to remain part of the euro. Either is conceivable. But a choice must be made, policies must be coherent with it and it must be supported by appropriate means. To enter the battle with limited resources and, worse, lack of resolve to use them is a recipe for defeat.

Yeh, leaders need to resolve to get the big bankers off their backs. Sack the lot of them, freeze their Swiss accounts, seize their gold and whatever they've hoarded, strip them of their monetary powers. Give them cement suits and drop them in the deepest part of the oceans of this world, like for like to all the corrupt psycos in power.
All of the discussion around bankers and governments giving them money is really pretty much a waste of time and part of the scam. Does anyone really think that any of this money will be paid back. In 5 years, these politicians will be long gone into well paid retirement. They will be on the beach somewhere sipping ice beer or wine, counting their money from the directorships of the banks they bailed out. Not for them the consequences of their corruption. How many of this bunch of thieves were actually prosecuted for stealing expense money, but that is all history, as will this scam be in a few years. I find it hard to believe that the public around the world has not organized and hanged these thieving people who have caused so much misery and will continue to do so for many years.
Why should we rescue the EU? Or its doomed and disastrous euro?
The euro was intended to be the chain to bind us in perpetuity.With the euro falling apart, the bureaucrats are out of control. The EU ensures banks pocket their huge profits while workers bail out the losses incurred by their disastrous speculation.
The EU promotes the movement of vast numbers of people in search of work.
Immigration and emigration are two sides of the same problem as migration depletes some countries of skills while undermining pay in others. They intend only unemployment and rootlessness for us as we move from country to country.
We can make what we need, feed ourselves, control our territorial waters, trade with the world, be a sovereign nation. They say global capitalism can't be resisted – but look at developments in Latin America. Like Cuba we must assert workers' nationalism as the true basis for internationalism. We only have to decide to do it.

'... the euro crisis has exposed grave design flaws.'
Yes, because those of us arguing against Britain joining the euro didn't point these out at the time, did we? In fact, we did, only to be accused of being bad Europeans.

"We have an occasional troll that posts something darn right rude/mean/inappropriate (likely to get a rise out of folks to watch the reaction—so ignoring them is often the best solution). When we see a darn right rude/mean/inappropriate email, that person's posts no longer make it to the list until a moderator reads and approves the post. This is one of the reasons we can stay lightly moderated.

I found 970 Google hits for this one, just using the "rude" noun.
752 for "darn right scary"
387 for "darn right nasty"
68 for "darn right offensive"
71 for "darn right frustrating"
54 for "darn right expensive"
It makes sense; who uses "downright" anymore, and what does the "down" have to do with it? Yet we all understand (and use) "darned scary" or "darn scary" (if you're lazy)

I'd say the "downwrite" examples are just a result of a spelling defense mechanisms. Use "right" for direction, and any other time the sound "rite" is heard, overcorrect and use "write". Plus including that tricky silent W makes one look more edumacated!

New projects move ahead despite budget constraints 24 May 2011 At a meeting in Paris in mid-May, the executive councils of the UIAA formally agreed to go forward this summer with efforts to develop further the UIAA Training Standards label and to lay the groundwork for a new Mountain Protection label.
The Executive Board (EB) and the Management Committee (MC) approved a plan to introduce a system for training experts, assessors and trainers. A UIAA Training Standard label will be awarded to Federations that meet the UIAA standards. The idea of the standards is to promote good practice in the training of voluntary mountaineering leaders and instructors. The UIAA Mountain Protection Commission has been developing a label over the past year which would be awarded to tour operators and mountain recreation organisations which commit themselves to acting according to high mountain protection standards. Deficit The Board and Management Committee chose to move forward with these projects, despite budgetary and operational setbacks. The UIAA is currently operating with a higher than expected deficit. The MC chose in particular to criticise the high travel expenses incurred by UIAA President Mike Mortimer. The MC agreed to perform an internal audit. The EB voted in favour of adjusting the 2011 budget to prevent an additional decrease of reserves without having to reduce funding for the essential work of UIAA Commissions. The EB agreed to define the 2012 budget before its July meeting. Strategic Plan The MC was presented with the first results from a poll sent to all UIAA Member Federations. The Strategic Plan survey is aimed at better defining what UIAA members expect of the international body so that a plan of action can be drawn up. A draft is to be presented at the UIAA General Assembly in Kathmandu in October.

Variational and Extremum Principles in Macroscopic Systems
By- Stanislaw Sieniutycz, Warsaw University of Technology, Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering, Poland
- Henrik Farkas, Budapest University of Technology and Economics
Recent years have seen a growing trend to derive models of macroscopic phenomena encountered in the fields of engineering, physics, chemistry, ecology, self-organisation theory and econophysics from various variational or extremum principles. Through the link between the integral extremum of a functional and the local extremum of a function (explicit, for example, in the Pontryagins maximum principle variational and extremum principles are mutually related. Thus it makes sense to consider them within a common context. The main goal of the present book is to collect various mathematical formulations and examples of physical reasoning that involve both basic theoretical aspects and applications of variational and extremum approaches to systems of the macroscopic world.The first part of the book is focused on the theory, whereas the second focuses on applications. The unifying variational approach is used to derive the balance or conservation equations, phenomenological equations linking fluxes and forces, equations of change for processes with coupled transfer of energy and substance, and optimal conditions for energy management.
Readership is extremely broad and includes applied mathematicians, mathematical physicists, applied physicists, chemists, geologists, ecologists, mechanical engineers, chemical engineers, economists and system theorists, undergraduates, graduates and instructors, both from academia and industry.

We made a good decision to run Wednesday this week instead of Thursday. There was a nasty thunderstorm around 6 am today! It felt great to sleep in and we are looking forward to "Fun Run Friday."
Friday we run one of our favorite routes, Croatan. It is a route that takes us south and through the Croatan neighborhood in VB. We meet a little earlier, 5:20 am, because the route is approximately 6.25 miles. This is perhaps the only day that we don't find ourselves on the boardwalk at some point during our run. It is fun to watch the seasons change and sunrise adjust throughout the year. Sara snapped this picture with her phone last week. One of the signs summer is approaching is that the gates for the public beach access are unlocked, the water fountains are on, and the facilities are open at 6 am. It's perfect for an early morning pit stop.
Just down that walkway and over the dune is the Atlantic ocean and the rising sun.

Lucky Dining Chair with arms is a stackable, outdoor dining chair designed by Roberto Serio for Talenti.
With a robust metal frame, the method of fabrication and coating the chair employs advanced technological processes that are more commonly found in the automotive industry.
Eco-friendly, a cataphoresis treatment coats the chair entirely, sealing any welds and joints against moisture penetration avoiding the potential for rust.
The final stage – powder coating – conceals this innovative barrier and completes the chair with a selection of contemporary coloured finishes.
Suitable for indoor or outdoor use, this piece from the Talenti Furniture Collection is ideal for elegant, sophisticated exteriors characterised by tradition.
