We featured their recycled urban chandeliers previously on Inhabitat, but we got to see their latest creation at Dumbo during BKLYN Designs 2013. The chandelier is made from a single piece of salvaged wood that is strung with a slew of Edison bulbs with funky coils.1

Anna Scaglione
- Fields of study
- Power
Stefano Galli, Anna Scaglione, and Zhifang Wang have authored what is considered the most complete review of power line communications (PLC) technology published to date, detailing its usage in the development of smart grids. The paper, which appeared in the June 2011 issue of the Proceedings of the IEEE (vol. 99, no. 6, pp. 998–1027), has quickly become a key reference document for the application of PLC technology in smart grids. PLC involves sending and receiving data over the existing electrical wires of the power distribution grid. With the emergence of smart grids utilizing remote sensing, communication, control, monitoring, and analysis for more efficient power grid operation, PLC technology has the potential to play a larger role than traditional automatic meter reading. The paper details the complex role of communications within smart grids and provides readers with accurate information on the history of and latest advances in PLC methods to address the roles for which PLC may be best suited.
Dr. Scaglione is an IEEE Fellow and Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of California, Davis.

A couple of people have reached out to me via LinkedIn and reminded me that my three year work anniversary happened last Friday. Three years since I left my job at a local place to go work for the Canonical where I got the chance to be paid to work on open source software and better my Python skills with the team working on Launchpad. My wife wasn't quite sure. "You've only been at your job a year and a half, and your last one was only two years. What makes this different?"
What's amazing, looking back, is just how *right* the decision turned out to be. I was nervous at the time. I really wasn't Launchpad's biggest fan. However, the team I interviewed with held this promise of making me a better developer. They were doing code reviews of every branch that went up to land. They had automated testing, and they firmly believed in unit and functional tests of the code. It was a case of the product didn't excite me, but the environment, working with smart developers from across the globe, was exactly what I felt like I needed to move forward with my career, my craft.
I joined my team on Launchpad in a squad of four other developers. It was funny. When I joined I felt so lost. Launchpad is an amazing and huge bit of software, and I knew I was in over my head. I talked with my manager at the time, Deryck, and he told me "Don't worry, it'll take you about a year to get really productive working on Launchpad." A year! Surely you jest, and if you're not jesting…wtf did I just get myself into?
It was a long road and over time I learned how to take a code review (a really hard skill for many of us), how to do one, and how to talk with other smart and opinionated developers. I learned the value of the daily standup, how to manage work across a kanban board. I learned to really learn from others. Up until this point I'd always been the big fish in a small pond and suddenly I was the minnow hiding in the shallows. Forget books on how to code, just look at the diff in the code review you're reading right now. Learn!
My boss was right, it was nearly ten months before I really felt like I could be asked to do most things in Launchpad and get them done in an efficient way. Soon our team was moved on from Launchpad to other projects. It was actually pretty great. On the one hand, "Hey! I just got the hang of this thing" but, on the other hand, we were moving on to new things. Development life here has never been one of sitting still. We sit down and work on the Ubuntu cycle of six month plans, and it's funny because even that is such a long time. Do you really know what you'll be doing six months from now?
Since that time in Launchpad I've gotten work on several different projects and I ended up switching teams to work on the Juju Gui. I didn't really know a lot about this Juju thing, but the Gui was a fascinating project. It's a really large scale JavaScript application. This is no "toss some jQuery on a web page" thing here.
I also moved to work under a new manager Gary. As my second manager since starting at Canonical and I was amazed at my luck. Here I've had two great mentors that made huge strides in teaching me how to work with other developers, how to do the fun stuff, the mundane, and how to take pride in the accomplishments of the team. I sit down at my computer every day and I've got the brain power of amazing people at my disposal over irc, Google Hangouts, email, and more. It's amazing to think that at these sprints we do, I'm pretty much never the smartest person in the room. However, that's what's so great. It's never boring and when there's a problem the key is that we put our joint brilliant minds to the problem. In every hard problem we've faced I've never found that a single person had the one true solution. What we come up with together is always better than what any of us had apart.
When Gary left and there was a void for team lead and it was something I was interested in. I really can't say enough awesome things about the team of folks I work with. I wanted to keep us all together and I felt like it would be great for us to try to keep things going. It was kind of a "well I'll just try not to $#@$@# it up" situation. That was more than nine months ago now. Gary and Deryck taught me so much, and I still have to bite my tongue and ask myself "What would Gary do" at times. I've kept some things the same, but I've also brought my own flavor into the team a bit, at least I like to think so. These days my Github profile doesn't show me landing a branch a day, but I take great pride in the progress of the team as a whole each and every week.
The team I run now is as awesome a group of people, the best I could hope to work for. I do mean that, I work for my team. It's never the other way around and that's one lesson I definitely picked up from my previous leads. The projects we're working on are exciting and new and are really important to Canonical. I get to sit in and have discussions and planning meetings with Canonical super genius veterans like Kapil, Gustavo, and occasionally Mark Shuttleworth himself.
Looking back I've spent the last three years becoming a better developer, getting an on the job training course on leading a team of brilliant people, and crash course on thinking about the project, not just as the bugs or features for the week, but for the project as it needs to exist in three to six months. I've spent three years bouncing between "what have I gotten myself into, this is beyond my abilities" to "I've got this. You can't find someone else to do this better". I always tell people that if you're not swimming as hard as you can to keep up, find another job. I feel like three years ago I did that and I've been swimming ever since.
Three years is a long time in a career these days. It's been a wild ride and I can't thank the folks that let me in the door, taught me, and have given me the power to do great things with my work enough. I've worked by butt off in Budapest, Copenhagen, Cape Town, Brussels, North Carolina, London, Vegas, and the bay area a few times. Will I be here three years from now? Who knows, but I know I've got an awesome team to work with on Monday and we'll be building an awesome product to keep building. I'm going to really enjoy doing work that's challenging and fulfilling every step of the way.

While PC users might be familiar with their machines under-clocking themselves to save energy, reduce heat, and prevent damage, the idea is new for Microsoft's Xbox console. According to an interview Gizmodo had with Xbox's General Manager of Console Development, Leo Del Castillo, the new Xbox One will be able to cool itself down in a multitude of ways, including "dialing it back to a lower power state."
The Xbox One is aware of the current temperature it is running at and is able to take action to cool itself down. The unit will first start by pushing up the fan all the way to its maximum speed – although Microsoft does not anticipate the need for the unit to do so under normal environmental conditions.
If after increasing fan speed, the unit still does not cool down, the unit will be able to switch itself to a lower power state in order to protect itself.
We are currently unsure of how the under-clocking works and how it might affect game performance. Although as stated above, this is a last resort for Xbox One and should not occur under normal environmental conditions.

After a very productive and interesting breakfast meeting with Tim Sullivan and Eric Shoup of Ancestry.com, but more about that later. Now I am at the opening of the Conference. This session is sponsored by findmypast.com. More about the FamilySearch.org agreements with the three large genealogical database companies soon.
After words from Shipley Monson, we hear from Dennis Brimhall for a greeting to the Conference. I guess I am included in the "Press" since I am sitting on the second row in the middle. There is a huge video camera on a boom taking our pictures. So here we go. There are supposed to be 12,000 attendees in person and thousands more online. The presentations that are being videoed are being sent to 622 locations around the world. That is 622 Stake Family History Fairs around the world. Since I am being videoed, I wonder how many will know what is blog is and want to watch my presentation?
Dennis says what would our great-great grandchildren wish we had preserved about our lives. We all want to find the stories and the photos that document our lives. What FamilySearch has done this past year. They have some really good video presentations on the connection of photos and stories to show how there is an emotional impact with everyone when we involve everyone.
Over 12 million sources have been added to FamilySearch.org and users are now adding many photos and stories. Dennis suggests that we send links to the photos and stories so that all of our family members will become involved.
The challenge is how to do Family History without a computer. So FamilySearch put together the "My Family" book and 1.7 million copies have been sent out to the world. Want to develop a way to get information into FamilySearch from a cell phone, not a smartphone or a tablet. FamilySearch is always looking for more records. He introduces "Captain Jack" the pirate themed icon for Indexing obituaries. "Dead men tell no tales but their obituaries do!" More about this in another post.
There is so much going on, it will take a while to digest all of this and get it down in words. By the time I do this everything will have changed again anyway.
Obituaries are rich in stories and now the indexers can help in adding millions of indexed obituaries to FamilySearch Historical Records. There are already 1 billion indexed records. FamilySearch has 5.3 billion records from mainly the Americas and Europe. They are partnering with organizations and companies around the world to speed up the indexing and acquisition of the records.
Dennis speaks briefly about partnering with the genealogy companies and societies to speed up the process of digitizing the worlds records He gives an example of a program called FamilyMap. Then he gives a short demo of Puzzilla.org. I have talked to the developer and I will have a lot more to say about this program.
Now we have Joshua Taylor talking about the date of RootsTech 2015 and the combined conference with FGS (Federation of Genealogical Societies) He introduces Annelies van den Belt, the CEO of D. C. Thomson Family History or findmypast.com. It turns out that where I am sitting I am getting a lot of echoes and so I had a hard time understanding Annelies. What we are looking for is connectivity. She talks about the process of searching for our ancestors and need to have a timeline and a way for saving digital treasures. All of this leads to a democratized world. They intend to create better tools to find records about our ancestors.
I think the differences in style between the different countries around the world and they way they are demonstrated by these different genealogy companies is fascinating.
They have an expanding base in historical records. The next step is enrichment and enhancement through records such as newspapers. They will also be developing products such as mobile apps to access the records. This can be accomplished with partnerships such as the newspaper project with the British Library and others such as NYG&B and Eneclann, National Records of Scotland, LLGCNLW, FamilySearch and ACPL (looking up all these acronyms later, of course). Mentions Lives of First World War as an example of connectivity. There were 8 million people involved in that war. I have written about this project recently, I am sure I will again. With this database, you can read exactly what happened on each day and in each battle of the entire war. Even if your ancestor's service was not preserved by a diary, There will be other diaries that will give all the details. This is part of the 100 year observance of the War. It is Annelies' birthday.
Now we have The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond. I am connected with her blog in that it was one of the first I was shown by my daughter as an example of an online blog. It is interesting to me that, now almost seven years later, I am sitting in a huge conference seeing her in person as a blogger. Her presentation was autobiographical and interesting.

Guest columnist Keith Spence examines issues of faith and gun rights following the incident at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
As a conservative Christian, gun owner and firm believer in the Constitution and Second Amendment, I find myself very conflicted today.
I watch the news and the continuing coverage of the horrible shooting in Newtown, Conn., and my heart is heavy beyond words for those involved. I read in the newspaper that more murdered 6-year-olds were laid to rest and can only imagine the anguish the families are going through now and will be forced to live with for the rest of their days on earth.
I try to envision the terror and fright those 20 beautiful children must have experienced in the moment before their lives were so tragically taken and feel a sickness rising in my stomach that I can�t describe.
I don�t question why God would allow such an atrocity to occur because, as a society, we made the decision long ago to remove Him from our schools.
What I do find myself questioning is everything I ever believed in regarding the right to gun ownership.
I am not here to play politics, question the motives of special interest groups, lay blame at the feet of the mental health system or pass judgment on the concealed carry issue.
People have the right to own guns; of this I am certain. I�m less certain of the types of guns people should be allowed to possess.
I own a 9-mm semi-automatic handgun which I know how to use and would not hesitate to do so with lethal force if my family or home were threatened. I don�t pretend to know anything about rifles �automatic, semiautomatic, assault or otherwise.
But I find myself asking some basic questions.
Do we really need high-capacity assault weapons in the hands of private citizens?
If Adam Lanza had been forced to stop and reload once or twice, would that have given some of the victims time to escape or perhaps caused just enough of a delay for the police to have arrived sooner?
I don�t know the answer to these questions and I completely understand that bad people will do bad things regardless of the law and morality.
But perception is reality and my perception is this: had Adam Lanza forced his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School armed with just handguns or a rifle with a smaller capacity magazine, this catastrophe might have ended with less bloodshed.
Would the carnage have been averted? Absolutely not. Bad people do bad things, remember. Would we be talking any less about the gun control issue if only 10 or 15 children had died instead of 20? Of course not.
But I ask you this: are five or 10 innocent lives saved worth having the discussion? Is having just one precious angel still alive walking the earth instead of crossing the streets of Heaven a small price to pay for some type of compromise between the gun control advocates and the NRA crowd?
Again, I don�t know the answer.
Twenty families (26 if you count the adult victims) are suffering through an ordeal no human being should ever be asked to endure.
In my world, that�s reason enough to question my beliefs.

The golden strip on the jacket could easily be a yellow line, but they carve/paint a thin lines of black onto it. Likewise for the buttons and eagle emblem/medal on the collar.

Found a video of the third DVD sidestory. This one is Ellet showing some photos to Emile, Oscar, Ramal and Homer. She gets busted, however, when she's about to show them a picture of Alicia while she's sleeping. The result is comic gold.
In the words of Edy: Oh Homer... so pretty... so broken...
Now I just need to find the second one... Isara in a yukata...

Thanks, KariOhki, for that PM.
Isara in a yukata = *faints*
Alicia scared of fireworks + seeks comfort from Welkin = *double faints*
Selvaria yet again left waiting for Maximilian = *triple faints*
I wonder what the fourth one will contain...

Great News...thanks now I have even more place to dump my money on...
Looking forward to what the figure will look like...it seems like a 1/8 or 1/9 size figure..at least it's by SEGA not yujin...the quality for Yujin figure is a bit varied..
Anyway..the secret figure looks like the General's daughter, although I am surprised that they don't have the new Valkyria girl.

I'm only getting Alicia (for now)
I might buy Isara as well (if I can spare the money), but I rather have Edy or Selvaria in my collection
Be sure to Pre-order if you are ordering them straight from Japan.
There were already an OrderStop on them at HLJ, luckily they are receiving more.
And I haven't seen these posted before
Yujin - Selvaria Bless
Full gallery at AmiAmi.com
(I think this one was cancelled before being released)
SEGA - Alicia Melchiott
Full gallery at AmiAmi.com
This was released in 2008 so it's a bit harder to find these days

There used to be a limited edition of gashpons that includes Lynn, Edy, and Marina ..and what not, but it's almost impossible to find.
The one you posted are from quite a while ago, but yea..the Alicia one is really expensive now and super hard to find. The Selvaria one.. although cheaper around $36-40 pre-shipping..isn't very well made...maybe that's why it got canceled?
The new one is nice, but the price is off the charts... so touch choices
but the new Alicia figure hopefully well look better.
I was hoping they would have a chibi version of gashpon with squad 7 members...although that would be like 50 or so figure and pretty much impossible to collect....

OLYMPIA — Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson announced today she will restart the search for a new leader of the state ferry system after one of two finalists withdrew.
Peterson said Interim Assistant Secretary George Capacci notified her over the weekend that he was pulling out of consideration.
That left former Pierce County Executive John Ladenburg as the remaining candidate, and Peterson elected to not hire him.
"While John Ladenburg has extensive experience as an elected official managing large government agencies, I have decided to begin a new recruitment process," she wrote in an email to ferry workers.
Peterson said she based her decision partly on what she heard from employees and community members about what they felt the ferry system needed in a new leader.
Ladenburg, who ran unsuccessfully for state Attorney General in 2008 and state Supreme Court in 2012, has the skills to deal with the politics of the legislative process but less experience on the technical side of ferry operation.
Capacci, who joined Washington State Ferries in 2009, served as the deputy chief in charge of operations and construction until becoming interim assistant secretary when David Moseley retired from the job earlier this year.
He will continue serving as interim ferries chief until a permanent manager is hired, Peterson said.

My faith and hope in our country has been renewed! Meet Jenny Cantrell, a 13-year-old student who held Obama and Romney to the same grading system she and her fellow students are required to meet. She graded them on the economy, business, Obamcare, energy, national debt, and national security. Jenny's youth and inexperience in politics kept her open-minded and analytical.
Her teachers and parents should be proud! She is our hope!
Excellent job Jenny! After her stint as 'Teacher for the Day' Jenny made a follow-up video regarding the auto bailout, unions, the debates, taxes, redistribution of wealth, and the candidates' values. She nailed those too!

The history of the Royal Navy dates back over a thousand years to King Alfred's first battle at sea in 882. The Navy defended Britain from invasion, attacked enemies and eventually established Britain as the dominant world sea power in the 19th century. The history of the Navy is to a remarkable extent the history of Britain.
The National Museum of the Royal Navy embraces the Royal Navy's four service Museums and HMS Victory. Each museum is located on its own separate site and each is dedicated to preserving the past and promoting the future of Royal Navy's activities either on the sea, under the sea, in the air or on the land.
The National Museum of the Royal Navy preserves, explains and celebrates the enormous contribution made by the Royal Navy during its remarkable history of over 1000 years, in the defence of the UK and our allies.
From the early days of the warfare under sail, to today's complex matrix of naval forces, the Royal Navy has created an enduring spirit of camaraderie and mutual co-operation among its service personnel and the general public.
(Click on any of the links below to find out more about the individual elements of the National Museum of the Royal Navy)
The Royal Navy operate a fleet of ships, employing 21,500 personnel.
Today's role involves peacekeeping, fighting piracy and the prevention of drug trafficking.
The Royal Naval Museum is one of Britain's oldest maritime museums. The Museum's mission is to make accessible to all the story of the Royal Navy and its people from earliest times to the present.

Jamie Dimon and a host of regulators are on Capitol Hill testifying about the $2 billion (and counting) trading loss JP Morgan announced last month.
And while Dimon's testimony at the Senate last week was kind of blah, this one promises to be much more exciting. One reason for that: Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank. He's known for his sharp tongue and quick wit, both of which have only gotten more pronounced since he announced his retirement last year.
That said: He just landed his first punch on Wall Street. Frank was questioning the CFTC's Gary Gensler about Dodd-Frank and how practices would've changed what happened in JP Morgan's Chief Investment Office. Gensler replied that it would've meant more transparency all around.
Frank replied:
"Some of my friends in the financial services community view competition as a spectator sport, only to be participated in by others."

Looking to update your tea service? While we're all for stockpiling vintage crockery to showcase our favorite fondant fancies on, the good people at East London emporium Luna & Curious are showing us an entirely new way to celebrate tea time. In the form of artist Grace Wilson for welovekarou's Alley Cat plates.
Each cat comes with a name and a backstory. Apparently Francois is a hard-bitten detective who is secretly in love with Betty the librarian (the one with the glasses; do keep up) who has a brother called The Kid who is getting in trouble down at the Cat Whisker's Saloon. Okay, a little far-fetched for ceramic plates you're going to eat cake off, but these did bring a smile to our face. What do you think? Up for swapping out your mismatched china?

Indian bitter melon may hold cure for cancer
An Indian origin scientist has received a 39,42-dollar grant from the Lottie Caroline Hardy Charitable Trust to continue her research on treating cancer with an extract from bitter melon, a vegetable common in India and known as "karela" in Hindi.
Ratna Ray, Ph.D., professor of pathology at Saint Louis University, is studying the effect of the extract from the vegetable, which is often used in Indian and Chinese cooking, on head and neck cancer cells.
"The goal of our study is to see if a complementary alternative medicine treatment based upon bitter melon can stop the spread of head and neck cancer," she said.
Ray studies using bitter melon extract to prevent or treat cancer by thwarting the spread of cancer cells. In a controlled lab setting, she previously found that bitter melon extract activated a pathway that triggered the death of breast cancer cells, stopping them from growing and spreading. The effectiveness of using bitter melon extract to treat breast cancer in people has not been tested.
Then, with funding from the National Institutes of Health, she expanded her research on bitter melon extract to include prostate cancer prevention.
With that research underway, Ray discussed her bitter melon research with Dr. Mark Varvares, a SLUCare head and neck cancer specialist and director of the Saint Louis University Cancer Center, who thought her findings could have implications for treating head and neck cancer and warranted more study.
"We have pretty good indications that bitter melon extract works in cancer cell lines to halt the growth. I think it might be effective to treat solid tumors, and our grant will help us to get pre-clinical data to show whether something that looks promising in fighting breast cancer could work in other cancers," Ray said.
For her research, she will feed bitter melon extract to mice that have head and neck cancer to see if the substance sparks anti-tumor activity.
If bitter melon extract stops the growth of cancer cells in animals, the findings could lay the groundwork for studying the treatment in a phase I clinical trial of human patients who have head and neck cancer, Ray said.
Head and neck cancers, which account for 6 percent of all cancer cases, start in the mouth, nose, sinuses, voicebox and throat. They frequently are aggressive, and often spread from one part of the head or neck to another.

A Distant Quasar's Brilliant Light
The arrow in this image, taken by a ground-based telescope, points to a distant quasar, the brilliant core of an active galaxy residing billions of light-years from Earth. As light from this faraway object travels across space, it picks up information on galaxies and the vast clouds of material between galaxies as it moves through them. The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph aboard NASA's Hubble Space Telescope decoded the quasar's light to find the spectral "fingerprints" of highly ionized (energized) oxygen, which had mixed with invisible clouds of hydrogen in intergalactic space. The quasar's brilliant beam pierced at least four separate filaments of the invisible hydrogen laced with the telltale oxygen. The presence of oxygen between the galaxies implies there are huge quantities of hydrogen in the universe.

Verisk Maplecroft
Investment potential of China, India and Russia undermined by poor governance and societal resilience
According to a major new report, the BRIC countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China are no better placed to withstand shocks from major risk events than they were four years ago.
The findings of the Global Risks Atlas 2012, released by risk analysis firm Maplecroft, indicate that strong economic performance in the BRICs has not translated into improved societal resilience or governance, which constrain a country's ability to adapt and combat potential shocks from pandemics, terrorism, conflict, resource security, economic contagion and the impacts of climate change.
"With hopes for a global economic recovery resting with the BRICs, investors and business seeking new high-growth, high-risk markets need to be aware of their limited resilience to global risks." states Maplecroft CEO Alyson Warhurst. "A country's resilience to external and internal shocks is built up over time, so as the BRICs political risk environment improves we might see resilience strengthen, but our results reveal this is yet to happen."
The fourth annual Global Risks Atlas highlights potentially destabilising factors in the world's key growth economies. Maplecroft classifies global risks as those that cut across borders, affecting multiple areas of the world with major impacts on countries and business alike. The Atlas covers 178 countries and includes 33 indices within five global risk areas, which calculate exposure to macroeconomic risk, security, resource security, climate change and infectious diseases. It also evaluates governance and societal resilience to measure how prepared nations are to adapt to the impacts of global risks.
The 10 countries most exposed and least resilient to global risks are: Somalia (1), DR Congo (2), South Sudan (3), Sudan (4), Afghanistan (5), Pakistan (6), Central African Republic (7), Iraq (8), Myanmar (9) and Yemen (10).
For investors and business though, it is the resilience of the BRIC economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China to withstand global risks that is increasingly important, as they become central to the fortunes of the global economy due to their increased economic might and integration with individual economies.
According to the Atlas findings, none of BRICs have improved their performance in relation to their resilience to global risks over the course of the last four years. This is despite cumulative GDP growth between 2009 and 2012 of 16% for Brazil, 13% for Russia, 28% for India and 32% for China.
"Economic gains have yet to transform the resilience of the BRICs to major risk events," adds Warhurst. "Improvements in basic social infrastructure, such as education, healthcare and sanitation for large sections of society, are vital in combating the impacts of global risks. Without these, and improvements in governance, the BRIC economies may not fully realise their investment potential."
Brazil (ranked 97 in the Atlas) is largely buffered from the destabilising influences of global risks and performs markedly better than its BRICs counterparts, due, in part, to its strong democratic governance and regime stability. However, poor governance and a relative lack of societal resilience in India (19), Russia (30) and China (58) are identified as significant factors that could undermine their ability to combat the effects of 'black swan' events.
Continuing poor governance is evidenced by the endemic nature of corruption, especially in India and Russia, where the political process is undermined by an inability to tackle the problem. In India, for instance the political standoff over a new anti-corruption law between the ruling Indian National Congress and the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party, both of which have been hit by recent corruption scandals, has severely disrupted law-making. Uncertainty for investors in Russia has also been compounded by anti-government protests relating in part to suspected irregularities in the elections.
Terrorism and political violence are also identified by Maplecroft as particularly prevalent risks in India and Russia, which threaten human security and business continuity, while diverting valuable government resources and money. Security issues in China also exist due to localised protests and unrest relating to a lack of political freedom and social gains. Upheaval on a national scale remains unlikely though, as the country's strong economic performance buffers it from further popular dissent at present.
The high growth, resource rich, economies of Argentina (123), Chile (131) and Mongolia (117) all emerge as countries relatively well insulated from global risks and make attractive investment destinations, especially for the mining sector.
Mongolia remains heavily reliant on neighbouring China and Russia as export markets and for energy imports. While these countries sustain high rates of growth, Mongolia will continue to benefit from this integration, presenting important opportunities for the country's mining sector. Mongolia benefits from low exposure to security risks, while also enjoying relatively robust societal resilience.
Chile, meanwhile, has emerged as a model for sustainable development in Latin America. It benefits from high economic growth fuelled by vast mineral resources and has made substantial progress in raising living standards. Low exposure to security risks and infectious diseases is also supported by strong societal resilience and good standards of governance, enabling the country to withstand and adapt to global risks.
New Zealand (176), Finland (175), Denmark (173), Norway (171), Canada (169), Sweden (168), Germany (163) and Australia (159) are among the countries exhibiting the lowest risk, suggesting that traditional Western styled democracies are still among the safest investment destinations in terms of their exposure and resilience to major risk events.

Ralph Nader is running again for president.
After four previous bids, mounted in varying forums and with varying goals, Nader is used to the slings and arrows that will be tossed his way. He is conscious and committed. He will not back off.
He knows how to campaign in the face of a firestorm of criticism.
Above all, he knows how to make himself heard -- even when almost everyone who guides the political processes of the nation wants to shut him up.
The latter knowledge will serve him well in a 2008 contest where the man who is either a national treasure or a national frustration, or perhaps both, may find himself more marginalized than ever before.
Nader is running for the same reason he has run in the past: Because the likely nominees of the two major parties do not begin to meet the standards that might reasonably be asked of progressive contenders in 21st-century America.
Fundamental issues -- Wall Street-defined globalization, rampant and frequently deadly corporate crime, out-of-control military spending and an imperial foreign policy -- are not going to be addressed in a realistic let alone definitional manner by the Democratic nominee (be he Barack Obama or be she Hillary Clinton) or by Republican John McCain. And that, says Nader, will leave millions of Americans feeling frustrated and disenfranchised.
"You take that framework of people feeling locked out, shut out, marginalized and disrespected," he explained on NBC's "Meet the Press," the same forum where he announced his 2004 presidential run. "You go from Iraq, to Palestine to Israel, from Enron to Wall Street, from Katrina to the bumbling of the Bush administration, to the complicity of the Democrats in not stopping him on the war, stopping him on the tax cuts."
Nader's points are all well taken.
And they come from a man who is quite rational in his awareness that he will not be sworn in as president on January 20, 2009.
While Nader has yet to determine whether he will run as the Green Party candidate, a Green-backed independent or a genuinely unaffiliated independent, he is clear about his chances.
The arc of history bends toward Obama and the Democrats, not his candidacy, acknowledges Nader.
After eight years of George Bush and Dick Cheney, he said, "If the Democrats can't landslide the Republicans this year, they ought to just wrap up, close down, emerge in a different form. You think the American people are going to vote for a pro-war John McCain who almost gives an indication he's the candidate for perpetual war?"
Presumably, the Democratic landslide that buries McCain will also sweep away various and sundry third-party and independent candidacies, including Nader's.
If that is the case, it will not be a new phenomenon.
Nader has bid for the presidency in different ways in every election since 1992 -- as a write-in candidate in the New Hampshire and Massachusetts primaries of that year, as a Green contender in 1996 and 2000 and as an independent with support from some of what remained of Ross Perot's Reform Party in 2004. His most notable run, in 2000, won 2.7 percent of the national vote, along with anger from Democrats who thought he "spoiled" their chances by tipping Florida -- and the presidency -- from Al Gore to George Bush. In fact, Gore won Florida, only to have the results manipulated into Bush's column by the Republican nominee's many allies in state government, with an assist from the Supreme Court.
In the intense 2004 competition between Bush and Democratic John Kerry, Nader's run won just 0.3 percent on 34 state ballot lines.
This year, Nader could have a harder time of it even than he did in 2000 or 2004.
Unlike Gore and Kerry, Obama -- now the likely Democratic nominee -- has taken savvier stands on a number of issues close to Nader's heart, such as trade policy. This is not to say that Obama is as good as Nader on the issues. Far from it. But Obama's more nuanced platform, as well as the movement character of the Illinois senator's campaign, is likely to leave even less space for Nader to deliver a message.
That said, Nader is a determined, sometimes unrelenting, truth teller.
He notes that Obama is something less than a pristine progressive.
Obama may be "the first liberal evangelist in a long time," says Nader, but the senator's "better instincts and knowledge have been censored" since he hit the nation stage.
"(Obama's) leaned, if anything, toward the pro-corporate side of policy-making," Nader said of the senator from Illinois. The consumer activist also scored Obama on on foreign policy, noting that, "He was pro-Palestinian when he was in Illinois... Now he's supporting (right-wing Israeli policies that thwart progress toward peace in the Middle East)."
Such blunt statements may not win Nader many friends among Obama's enthusiastic backers, and Obama did not exactly welcome his new rival to the race. "Ralph Nader deserves enormous credit for the work he did as a consumer advocate," Mr. Obama said while campaigning in Ohio "But his function as a perennial candidate is not putting food on the table of workers."
But Nader's not looking for Valentines from the Democrats.
Frankly, he's not even all that interested in popular approval.
The public-interest crusader worries far less about poll numbers and even vote totals than about saying what he feels needs to be said -- and using the forum of the electoral process to say it. And he is certainly not the first progressive -- inside the Democratic Party or out -- to suggest that Obama needs to be prodded on issues ranging from labor law to corporate regulation to single-payer health care and Middle East policy.
Nader's greatest value in any race is -- like Socialist Norman Thomas in his races against Democratic Franklin Roosevelt -- as a source of pressure on the Democratic nominee to address fundamental questions and perhaps to take more progressive stands on a few issues. As in 2000 and 2004, Nader's appeal will be determined in large part by the extent to which the Democratic candidate is willing to be bold.
Obama seems to understands this. Unlike Gore or Kerry, who never quite "got" the point of Nader's runs in 2000 and 2004, the Illinois senator appears to recognize that it is pointless to grumble about Ralph Nader as a "spoiler." Rather, the point is to be more appealing to progressive voters who might consider voting Green or independent.
"I think the job of the Democratic Party is to be so compelling that a few percentage [points] of the vote going to another candidate is not going to make any difference," says Obama.
That is the bottom line with regard to Nader's latest bid.
If Obama runs as a progressive, Nader will have little room to maneuver. If Obama runs to the center, Nader's space will open up -- a bit.
John Nichols' new book is The Genius of Impeachment: The Founders' Cure for Royalism. Rolling Stone's Tim Dickinson hails it as a "nervy, acerbic, passionately argued history-cum-polemic [that] combines a rich examination of the parliamentary roots and past use of the 'heroic medicine' that is impeachment with a call for Democratic leaders to 'reclaim and reuse the most vital tool handed to us by the founders for the defense of our most basic liberties.'"

May is National Stroke Awareness Month
Suzie K
Thursday, November 15, 2012
By: Suzie Kiddoo
It stands for "Reversible Cranial Vascular Syndrome." RCVS has only been recognized and diagnosed as such for about five years. It takes a very knowledgeable doctor to realize this isn't a classic migraine and how stroke plays a part. I know!
I was so excited: I had been asked to direct and host a talent show at our church and everything had come together perfectly! It was fun to get the acts, decorate, and then be the host, introducing the various acts and even participating in a few myself. Imagine my horror when I stood up and what later was described as a "thunderbolt headache" shot through the left side of my skull. I am a long-time migraine suffer but this was completely different than my migraines. The pain was so sharp and fast, it almost felt like I would collapse. I sat down when the first act was on, taking deep breaths and wondering what to do. I was in a lot of pain but "the show had to go on" so I got through it. Afterward, I found my husband and we quietly returned to our cabin. He went back to pick up our guests for the weekend and things went along "OK" for a day or so.Another type of headache, more like an explosion in my brain came on and off for the next week. I was taken to a small hospital by ambulance near our cabin and told it was a migraine and sent home. We drove 2 2/2 hours to a hospital closer to our home ER and was told it was a migraine. We visited my primary doctor near home and you guessed it, "it's a migraine..." No one would listen to me. I had so many pain medications; it was really scary and nothing worked. Finally, we were advised to get to a trauma 1 center so off I went again in an ambulance. This time I got the correct care and diagnosis. A trauma 1 hospital has to have a neurologist available at all times and this was a Saturday.
Why is this a stroke survival story and why should you know about RCVS? Stroke and seizure are often and part of this disease. I spent a month in the hospital, three weeks in ICU, a few days on the "stroke floor" and then finally in rehab. I suffered a stroke and seizure while in the hospital and lost my left side for quite awhile.
I am extremely fortunate because with rehab, I am doing very well. I did not lose speech or reasoning powers but having a stroke was very traumatic for my body and brain and I still am not "back" after nearly four months. I feel it is very important that the general public (and doctors!) understand this syndrome. I almost lost my life. My husband called it "black Monday" after my stroke because I didn't respond. Pretty scary and sobering stuff! If professional health providers had given me the right diagnosis, I may have averted the stroke and seizure. I am left with a disturbance in my eyesight but hopefully within a year this may rectify itself.
I am the most blessed person ever because I finally got help. I don't want anyone to go through this and feel knowledge is power...I am a survivor and want you to be, too.

Best of luck on the move - Keep us updated on here, too, Mike!ReplyDelete
My son and I are huge fans of your show. We DVR it and watch it together. We are thinking about starting our own oddities shop someday.ReplyDelete
I guess you are opening the new shop because your business is growing so best of luck in your new place.
Have a good relocaton :) hope it's in New Mexico :PReplyDelete
I don't have a facebook anymore (too much drama ha ha) but I do love your show, your items and your wonderful knowledge of all things "odd". I want to come see the new shop (I'm from Chicago) once it's open so please keep me posted. I want to see the Coney Island Freak Show museum and your shop when I visit New York for the first time.ReplyDelete
I have a box of Vintage Surgical Equipment, including Tonsil removers, needles, a 5lb weighted Vaginal Speculum, dental tools, bone scoops,forceps, and other stuff I can't identify. I am in the Washington DC area, and was wondering if you buy things like that. I'm looking to sell them as a lot, and can take detailed photos if you need. My guess is that these are the early 1900's era, mostly German, some American made. Please let me know if you are interested in purchasing items like these.

Hopefully soon I'll pay you guys a visit ^_^! looking forward to seeing you.ReplyDelete
The young guy is such a hottie...lolReplyDelete
I saw your show for the first time today, and I have to say I loved it! You have so many strange and wonderful things on the show. It saddens me to say I doubt that I will ever get to see them in person because I live in South Carolina. O well at least I have found a great new show to watch!ReplyDelete
Tommy Sweat
P.S. I think Evan is super hot.
can I mail a fan letter to Ryan at that address? I live in Hawaii and think he is so damn cute.ReplyDelete
Thanks and Aloha!
Huge fan of the show. I have a couple o dozens of Free Samples Packs of Carter Little Liver Pills, from the early 1900's, they used to be given in the Speakeasies and I have also a Banner announcing the end of the Prohibition. Would you be interested? My contact: email@example.com
I wish I could order one of your T-shirts, but you have too many friends on your FB and I can't seem to find any links that work that are recent :(ReplyDelete

Love the show and have been meaning to check out the site for a while... wish there was more content for us out-of-towners! It was cool to see a link to Ken Brown's page - fond memories of his artwork all over Boston in the 80s.ReplyDelete
Anyway thanks for the opportunity to post a 'fan letter.' All the best to you!
Praise the Lord. I like your show. As well as the Antique Road show. I am raising two children with disabilities and dont get to the Museums as I would like. So watching you is not only informative but nice trips into history. As a Christian, when ever I hear you say "OMG", I become uncomfortable. If I may be so bold to ask you to stop saying "OMG". Perhaps 'gosh' or 'goodness'? If you can take that into consideration, we are positive that the Holy Spirit would show you His favor. Blessings. Kindest Regards, DorisReplyDelete
Nice post.Keep sharing. ThanksReplyDelete

Jeb 2016: The Bush battle within
Jeb Bush's decision whether to run for president in 2016 is being driven by competing impulses within his own family. On one side is his eldest son, George P., who's unabashedly and publicly supportive of his father's potential candidacy. On the other are Jeb Bush's mother and wife, who are clearly reluctant. In between is his older brother, George W., who is passively supportive but seems to friends to be more indifferent than enthusiastic.
These viewpoints became apparent in interviews with more than a dozen of Bush's friends and associates. The opinions of his family members are critical, as Bush has made no secret that his decision will come down to family considerations.
Story Continued Below
But as with any momentous decision involving family dynamics, especially dynastic family dynamics, it's complicated. The intentions of Jeb himself, who is 61, are hardest to read. He says he will decide by the end of this year.
( Also on POLITICO: Boehner 'nudging' Jeb to run)
As one of Jeb Bush's friends put it, he speaks with "2,000 people on a variety of subjects, but when it comes to key decisions'' — like his political future — the voices that count are people named Bush.
Who knows how the conversation will go the next time the family gathers at their Kennebunkport oceanside estate, a family retreat since the late 19th century. But some patterns are unmistakable:
The ambivalent older brother (and former president)
George W. Bush has said he hopes his brother will run for president. But he hardly sounds like a one-man drafting committee. Several operatives and donors said in interviews that they sense that the former president has some ambivalence about his brother running. His spokesman, Freddy Ford, dismissed such talk as "absolute drivel" and said of George W., "He's an enthusiastic supporter of Gov. Bush."
( Also on POLITICO: Son: Jeb raising in 'key states')
Still, the relationship between George W. and Jeb has never been deeply close, and people who have spoken to both say that the two insist that they haven't discussed what a Jeb run might look like. The pair are quite different — Jeb the more thoughtful and, according to consultants who've dealt with both, more studious and emotionally tortured, while George is more decisive, a better delegator and more of an on-the-stump charmer.
The contrast between the two was obvious when Jeb's official portrait was unveiled in Tallahassee in 2006. It featured the then-Florida governor standing next to a bookcase topped by a framed photo of his children positioned next to his ever-present Blackberry. It was an effort by Bush to point to an aspect of his political personality that he is proud of (and that is so different from his brother's): studiously responsive to emails, always engaged and reluctant to hand off details to aides.
With more than six years separating them, the brothers never formed a reliance on each other as confidants. Jeb Bush didn't spend much time at his brother's White House, and the Florida recount over the 2000 campaign became a major focal point for Democrats against the president's brother.
George W. has remarked that his brother knows how difficult a campaign would be — and, some of his allies note, it would mean yet another rehashing of a White House record that was struggling to regain some of its sheen. As for the relitigation of his presidency, Ford again insisted that is false: "He's proud of his record." He pointed to Bush's recent CNN interview in which he said, "I hope Jeb runs. I think he would be a great president. I have no clue what's on his mind. And we'll talk when he's ready."
( Also on POLITICO: Poll: Paul, Bush lead GOP field)
So while the former president may not be hankering for his brother to have designs on the White House, and Jeb was never a huge booster of his brother when he was in the White House, they both seem to be respecting their brotherly responsibilities. George W., who is 67, is on the record supporting his brother's candidacy — one associate said the former president doesn't want to get ahead of his brother by weighing in on what he thinks he should do. And Jeb has grown increasingly vocal in public, defending his brother's legacy and criticizing President Barack Obama for using him as a scapegoat.
It's unlikely George W.'s top advisers would assume roles in a future Jeb campaign or White House. Karl Rove, who has been described as the former president's "brain," openly criticized Jeb's comments about illegal immigration as an "act of love" — all but ruling out the potential for close involvement should Jeb run.
The proud, supportive father
"I know his father would be thrilled to see him run," longtime George H.W. Bush spokesman Jim McGrath told POLITICO.
It is widely known that Jeb's father, who is 89, saw Jeb as his best hope for vindication after he lost his reelection. Several people close to the Bushes said the elder Bush is still haunted by Election Day 1994, when Jeb took a backseat to his brother, George W., who won his race for Texas governor in 1994 while Jeb was defeated in the final days of his own campaign in Florida by incumbent Lawton Chiles. That set of circumstances pushed George W. to the forefront, using a successful reelection in 1998 as a springboard to the presidency just as Jeb was having to establish himself.
( QUIZ: How well do you know Jeb Bush?)
Jeb, who'd long had plans for a political career, had already launched his gubernatorial candidacy when his brother suddenly dove into the Texas race. The dual campaigns transformed the two into a "People magazine story," Jeb complained publicly, although he added he had "no control" over his older brother, who on at least one occasion tailored his own stump lines to mirror Jeb's.
The night Jeb lost and George W. won, the 41st president told reporters, "The joy is in Texas, but our hearts are in Florida." The loss, Jeb told a reporter later, "really hurt my parents and it kind of created an uncomfortable situation when I've seen George W."
Jeb and his parents are very close; in Connecticut last month, he talked about taking "the good with the bad" with his mother, but there's no one he reveres more in public than his dad.
Some veterans of Jeb's father's and brother's campaigns want the family back in the White House.
One longtime Jeb Bush friend, describing his current state of mind, said "enormous pressure" is being brought to bear on him by the "network" — a loose alliance of donors from his father's and brother's presidential campaigns, lured by the luster of recapturing past magic.
Many of them have made public appeals for him as the best candidate to run — Mel Sembler and Al Hoffman, two H.W. Bush-era donors who were involved with Jeb's campaigns in Florida, have been among the most vocal.
"He and I are good friends, we have great respect and affection for each other and he's always been very solicitous of me over the years and we've maintained a close friendship," Hoffman told POLITICO of Bush, for whose campaigns he served as campaign finance chairman.
"I do hope he does run. I'm all in favor of his running for president," he said, but added, "He's always kept his own counsel, as he always does with everyone."

It does though beg the question though how come a church can get 100 people to the park to help, and we are having trouble getting 5......
Why should the good deeds of another group be used to shame this group?
Nice post, Coop. I just don't get the part where you say you're hesitant to post it. That was a whole bunch of "telling it like it is", and there ain't nothin' wrong with that. Let's face it-- most of the time, the truth, or "telling it like it is", sounds negative. Don't let the idea that folks might think you're an arse for speaking the truth keep you from doing just that. Sure beats burying our heads in the sand and pretending that everything is cool all the time when it isn't.Anyway, yeah, nice post.
Coop, (and anyone else that I didn't notify): Sorry you didn't get invited to one of our workdays. As the sole designer and instigator of Lakeside Hills, my plan was to keep the course a secret until the day of the Ram N Salmon, and then Andy was going to spring it to the players at the morning players meeting that the second round would be at the Lake. That didn't happen of course, but that was the main reason for the secrecy. Addiitionally, as always, we had plenty of hands and crew to get done what we needed to. As you know, we never have a shortage of volunteers for workdays in Olathe. I also felt a little left out at recent workdays, as my chainsaw was broke down from the last workday at PC, but anybody can go to home depot and buy a machete for under $20. Machetes and axes are awesome tools whose use builds character. (ie, just look at what a character Danger is) We will be setting in some alterrnate sleeves, modifying some tee locations, and doing a little bit of clearing on an upcoming weekend when the ground drys and the temps increase. Watch this forum for the announced date. I typically make it tentative until a day or two before, because in an outdoor working enviroment we are always at the mercy of Mother Nature. In the mean time, Cliff has an upcoming workday I beleive, and PC will be needing a mow on the pond bank before long. Brian Taylor, Mark Albers, Brian Corneilius, and Leevarn Sarvis put a mow on it last year all on their own, without an "official workday" being announced. To finish this post I would go on to say that all of us can perform one of the best pieces of work everytime we play ANY course, simply by picking up any trash we see laying around in the parks.
line paths with rocks...
Tom: It wasn't the point of my post to elicit an apology or even to blame you for anything. I was just using things from my personal experience that I thought proved the points I was trying to make. Also, Andy is the one who broke the news on Facebook.Andy: I'm not saying the lack of tools is the ONLY reason for not showing up to a work day, I'm saying it is a contributing factor. There isn't one simple reason people choose not to show up, often it is a plethora of many small reasons, among which is being forced to stand there and say "what if" because you don't have any tools to actually help contribute.And let me take a minute to address this "what if" and "why not this" situation. If a work day, when things are actually getting changed and decisions have to be made, isn't the time to do it then when is? I have and will continue to be a supporter of some crowd-sourcing designs. I think, obviously, that one or two people have to be the main decision makers but we have enough talented players in this city who have played enough courses that they should be asked what they think about changes or new holes. We are trying to create/provide the highest quality golf possible and while it is entirely possible one designer could get there on his/her own it is more likely that a group of people, offering different solutions among which the best are chosen, will actually get there. The GET TO WORK mindset can cause just as many problems as it solves. Think about those intrepid souls that decided to get to work on new hole 13 at PC and took down those little fledgling pines in the fairway. I'm sure many of wish they had thought about what they were about to do and hadn't just gotten to work first.Also, admitting that people aren't brought into work days or invited for specific reasons (like the one in the previous paragraph) is the exact sort of elitism I was critiquing in my original post. If we want people to show up and help out people need to be welcome. We can't be, nor should we be, selective about who gets invited. I understand what Tom's original goal was though I'm not sure it was the best way to go about it. But that isn't the point of any of this. Like in golf that shot is gone by. the only thing we can do is worry about the next one we have to make, and that seems to be attendance at course-improving events.

LONDON/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Group of Seven rich nations sought on Tuesday to cool growing tension over exchange rates sparked by weakness in the Japanese yen, but currency markets found the effort lacking in clarity, triggering a second straight day of volatility.
The G7 declared that fiscal and monetary policies would not be directed at devaluing currencies, a statement meant to soothe nerves that Tokyo was aiming to guide the yen lower with its aggressive expansion of monetary policy.
Japan said the statement gave it a green light to continue efforts to reflate its economy but a G7 official said it was aimed squarely at Tokyo, prompting the yen to surge.
"Rather than calm the markets, the poorly communicated statement has significantly raised volatility," said Richard Gilhooly, fixed-income strategist at TD Securities in New York.
U.S. and European officials have been concerned about comments from Japanese officials that suggested Tokyo was targeting a specific level for the yen, which would run counter to the G7's official stance.
A day earlier, a senior U.S. official said competitive devaluations should be avoided, but that Washington supported Tokyo's efforts to reinvigorate growth and end deflation. The remark sent the yen sharply lower.
The G7 statement helped the yen solidify those losses, until a G7 official said markets had gotten the message wrong.
"The G7 statement signaled concern about excess moves in the yen," the official said. "The G7 is concerned about unilateral guidance on the yen. Japan will be in the spotlight at the G20 in Moscow this weekend."
This sent the value of the yen rushing the other way from 94.28 yen before the comment to a session low of 92.96 after it. By late afternoon in the United States, it was trading at about 93.5.
G20 finance ministers and central bankers meet in Moscow on Friday and Saturday. Some have previously pointed out that the United States has adopted similar policies to Japan.
The G7 powers - the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Canada and Italy - earlier on Tuesday had reiterated their commitment to market-determined exchange rates and said they would consult closely to avoid disorderly and volatile market moves that could hurt economic and financial stability.
"We reaffirm that our fiscal and monetary policies have been and will remain oriented towards meeting our respective domestic objectives using domestic instruments, and that we will not target exchange rates," the rich nations group said.
Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said the statement was a recognition that Tokyo's policy steps were not aimed at affecting foreign exchange markets.
"It was meaningful for us as (the G7) properly recognizes that steps we are taking to beat deflation are not aimed at influencing currency markets," Aso told reporters.
Bank of Canada chief Mark Carney said the G7 needed to use the weekend meetings of the larger G20, which groups together both advanced and emerging nations, to urge developing countries to adopt flexible exchange rates.
"It's important that we as a G7 go in united and forcefully to the G20 to enlarge that commitment as quickly as possible," he told a Canadian parliamentary committee.
Separately, the Swiss National Bank reiterated its determination to keep a lid on the strong franc, rejected charges it was contributing to a currency war, and said it expected the franc to keep weakening.
Last week, France went as far as calling for a medium-term target to be set for the euro out of concern the exchange rate had become too strong. Berlin rejected that suggestion.
French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici made little headway at a meeting of euro zone finance ministers on Monday although Germany's finance minister did sound a note of concern.
"There's no foreign exchange problem in Europe," Wolfgang Schaeuble told reporters at the end of a European Union finance ministers meeting in Brussels. "There are concerns that there could be something like this in other parts of the world."
Since late last year, the euro has climbed more than 10 cents from below $1.27. It has eased in recent days after European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi indulged in a bit of gentle verbal intervention, saying he would monitor the impact of a strengthening currency.
Draghi took pains to play down the issue on Tuesday, telling reporters in Madrid: "I think the term 'currency wars' is way, way over done. We are not witnessing anything like that."
The U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan are expanding their balance sheets rapidly by printing money, while the ECB's balance sheet is tightening, partly due to banks paying back cheap money the central bank doled out last year.
All else being equal, that could drive the euro yet higher, the last thing a struggling euro zone economy needs.
Any pain will be just as acute in emerging markets which have suffered before from an inflow of hot money, seeking higher yields and destabilizing their economies.
Brazilian Finance Minister Guido Mantega told Reuters last week that the situation could get even worse if Europe joined the currency fray.

South Dakota Voters Enjoy Mild Weather on Election Day
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Voters heading to the polls in South Dakota aren't being bothered by bad weather.
The National Weather Service forecast calls for high temperatures Tuesday from the 40s in the northeast to near 60 in the southwest, with no rain or snow.
Polling sites began opening at 7 a.m. Voters are deciding a U.S. House race between Republican Kristi Noem and Democrat Matt Varilek, and choosing state lawmakers and two members of the Public Utilities Commission. They also are deciding several ballot issues, and casting votes for president.
Sixty-three-year-old Sioux Falls dentist Brian Sather says he voted for Mitt Romney because he thinks the country needs change. Sather was among about 20 voters who lined up outside a polling site at a VFW in South Dakota's largest city early Tuesday.

the communication with staff beforehand was seriously lacking and I was given little to no time frame of when someone would come to repair my window. Once he arrived, he was very friendly and efficient, but I would have appreciated more transparency from the company. The whole thing felt a bit sketchy.
