Posted on Thursday 21 June 2012 by Ulster Business
That was one conclusion of a new report titled Preparing for a lower corporation tax environment, prepared for the Department for Employment & Learning by Oxford Economics and published yesterday.
The report says that a cut in the top corporation tax rate from 24% to 12.5% could create double the jobs that would otherwise be produced locally, equating to 58,000 additional jobs by 2030, more than half created by home-grown companies.
Of that number it predicts there would be around 10,000 new jobs in the IT and software sectors by 2030, effectively doubling the size of the industry here, while there would be an almost 70% increase in science & technology professionals to over 31,000.
Those forecasts were certainly welcome on a day when unemployment figures showed another 300 people joined dole queues in Northern Ireland in May, taking the number claiming unemployment benefit to 62,600. The claimant count rate of 6.9% is the second highest among the UK regions.
However, the DEL report also indicated that it is in the very areas where high demand could be created that Northern Ireland will potentially experience skills shortages if no action is taken.
Oxford Economics surmised that there was increased likelihood of high level skill supply shortages in computer science and mathematical sciences, and well as in agriculture, creative arts & design, engineering & technology, and physical and biological sciences.
Employment Minister Stephen Farry told journalists his department's NI Skills Strategy and the Executive Economic Strategy had identified areas for priority skills support.
DEL's Assured Skills programme, run in tandem with Invest NI has already helped secure 1,100 jobs working with companies like BT, Axiom and Heritage Fund Managers.
And there is, he said, evidence the government is "beginning to turn things around in STEM" with more school children opting for STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and maths) and more students pursuing them through to degree level.
"A lowering of Corporation Tax has the potential to transform our local economy but not in isolation and we need to ensure that we are ready with policies that support economic drivers including skills," he said.
"The report sets out the importance of developing our skills base and the employability of our people. It highlights in particular the importance of strong skills in STEM; management and leadership; and literacy, numeracy and employability skills if we are to capture the full benefits of a lower Corporation Tax."
However, the Minister acknowledged that more would have to be done to make sure the first wave of international companies attracted by the lower tax rate get what they need.
The report suggests some three quarters of the jobs created by foreign direct investors would be for managers and professionals, which would require an increase in 100,000 of those with level 4 qualification and above – equivalent to an HND or foundation degree.
There would also need to be a drive to up-skill the low skilled workers across the province so they are "work-ready" for the new environment. The report suggests that by 2030, under the low corporate tax scenario, only one in eight job vacancies will require no qualifications.
Northern Ireland has around 370,000 working age people not in employment and 125,000 economically inactive with no qualifications, which the Minister admitted presented a "huge challenge for employability".
"We need to invest in skills across the spectrum and to move people up the skills ladder. Experience from other countries shows they don't have this long tail of economically inactive. There's more we can do to provide opportunities," he said.
"It is better to overachieve than underachieve in skills provision as skills at a high level are transferable… Without corporation tax we flat-line. We see further stagnation in the economy."
Speaking last night at a function hosted by law firm Tughans at Queen's University's Riddell Hall, First Minister Peter Robinson reiterated his commitment to getting the corporation tax decision across the line.
The Minister will attend the final meeting of the joint working group comprising representatives from the Executive, Treasury and the Northern Ireland Office on Monday, but said he did not expect there to be a clear recommendation from Treasury as had been first hoped.
Instead Mr Robinson said whether Northern Ireland was given tax varying powers is now likely to be a cabinet decision.
It had been expected that a decision would be made either way over the summer and the DUP leader said he was still hopeful this would be the case.
While the First Minister implied there is opposition to devolution of corporation tax among Treasury officials he said he remained confident of a positive outcome because the issue has cross part support in the Executive and a cheerleader at the cabinet table in the form of Secretary of State Owen Paterson.
It was apparent from listening to Mr Robinson that this is an issue he is not about to let go lightly, and which he obviously believes will have a genuinely positive economic impact.
The Minister clearly sees it as a key differentiator for Northern Ireland, stating that he would like to see the corporation tax rate cut to 10%, not just 12.5% in line with the Republic of Ireland.
Those leading the charge for a cut in corporation tax say that even if it took two or three years to create the legislation and mechanisms needed to implement the separate tax rate, a firm commitment that it will happen will allow Invest NI to use it as a carrot to attract overseas firms and to encourage indigenous companies to plan future investment in their business.
That said, Employment Minister Stephen Farry and his department are to be commended for starting the ball rolling in assessing the progress that will have to be made in preparing our workforce in the immediate future, rather than waiting to see what happens and then scrambling to react.

Governing the risk management and compliance evolution
Analyst Chris McClean discusses the chief compliance officer's role as risk management and compliance are increasingly tied to business success.
In a recent SearchCompliance.com news article, we examined the chief compliance officer's expanding role in overall business strategy. Chris McClean, an analyst at Cambridge, Mass.-based Forrester Research Inc., agrees with the assessment: In a recently released Forrester "Playbook" report titled "Navigate the Future of Compliance and Risk Management," McClean states that risk management and compliance processes will become increasingly important to business' success in the next five years. As a result, chief compliance officers can expect more reliance on their input and decisions, he says.
In this Q&A, McClean discusses the playbook's predictions for governing risk management and compliance in the near future, the importance of accountability and why governance, risk and compliance (GRC) professionals should emulate the chief financial officer.
SearchCompliance.com: How do you think the chief compliance officer's role will evolve in the coming years?
Chris McClean: If the executives and the board see what you're doing as valuable and important to the company, you're more likely to get resources; you're more likely to get involved in very strategic-level decisions.
I'll give you an example: One of the heads of risk I've been working with over the last few years says he's been involved in merger and acquisition (M&A) discussions. The M&A team will actually work with him, do risk assessments, identify what are the risks of acquiring this certain company, see how good their compliance program is and whether or not they would fit their expectations of compliance. In some cases, he is able to vote down a merger or an acquisition because of that risk management and compliance consideration. That's not something you see happening too often, but it was never happening two to four years ago.
The report mentions that the success of GRC solutions still comes down to the people operating them. Is that a trend you are noticing -- you can have the best tools around, but if your employees aren't doing the right thing, it creates GRC problems?
The tools, for the most part, help you automate or help you facilitate a process. You're making that process more efficient. If you're not measuring risk in a way that makes sense for the business, if you're not keeping up with the regulatory requirements that you should be meeting, then you know automation is just going to make your mistakes more efficient.
More on compliance strategy
As data proves invaluable, compliance department expands strategy role
Compliance reporting forces risk management, security evolution
The work that we normally do is to start off by saying, "Do you have the right framework in place, the right processes, the right goals and responsibilities?" I did a workshop with a client a few weeks ago, and we spent a couple of hours just on the idea of accountability. If you have all these different elements of compliance, of risk, of governance, can you tell who is ultimately accountable for these things? Who's responsible for understanding regulatory requirements? Who's accountable for measuring or identifying risks? Most organizations don't have those accountabilities very well defined. If you don't have that, it doesn't really matter whether or not you have technology, because technology helps you find your risk, but you still don't know who's accountable.
The playbook recommends that risk and compliance professionals emulate the tactics used by CFOs. Why do you think that's a beneficial approach to GRC?
If you look at where risk should be going as a function in an organization, you want it to be pervasive. You shouldn't be siloed into one centralized function that doesn't operate with the rest of the business. You want that high level of visibility; you want a lot of people to be involved -- and that's how the CFO runs the organization.
Everybody has sort of an understanding of how finance impacts the organization. They have very clear financial metrics. Those attributes are what risk should be striving for. You want somebody who's in charge if you aggregate risk data across the organization, but it should be something that everybody contributes to, even at the individual level within different business units.
If you're not keeping up with the regulatory requirements that you should be meeting, then you know automation is just going to make your mistakes more efficient.
People should understand how risk actually impacts the rest of the organization. They should have risk metrics in place and make decisions based on those metrics in the same way they base decisions on financial metrics.
As the spotlight on risk management and compliance gets brighter in the coming years, how will the chief compliance officer, and the compliance department as a whole, have to change their approach?
You do have to kind of be a spokesperson if you are in charge of risk or compliance. You do have to accept that level of visibility; you have to be up in front and advocating processes, advocating the reason why risk and compliance is really important. A big part of that job is going to be marketing the value of risk and compliance, how you can improve the quality of your services, the quality of your products. You really have to accept that role as a marketing spokesperson for risk and compliance.
People are going to push back on that a lot, so you do have to generate a kind of grassroots support. You have to make some compromises in some cases. There is a lot of politics involved in it.

Understanding Copyrights, Trademarks, & Patents
Understanding Copyrights, Trademarks, & Patents
I receive articles all the time from subscriptions or groups that I belong to that keep up with industry changes. Copyrights, Trademarks are two topics that are always part of the discussion with my clients. Patents can also come into the conversation if there is an actual product being sold or intellectual property is involved.
John Hughes wrote a great article on these topics that will help you with your decisions on what to include on your website and what you need to protect for yourself and your business.
Here is John Hughes' information:
Understanding Copyrights, Trademarks, & Patents
"Copyrights, trademarks, and patents are somewhat complex topics. However, they each can have an effect on the way you run your WordPress site, which makes understanding their basics important.
Before we dive into how these elements affect your WordPress site, it's important to know what their differences are. For now, let's keep things simple and talk about them one by one:
- Copyright. Think of this as proof of ownership over the content you create. For example, if you're running a WordPress website you can copyright your graphics and content (and we'll talk more about this later on). On top of proving you're the owner of your content, copyrights also govern how others can reproduce, imitate, and distribute it.
- Trademark. Unlike copyrights, trademarking isn't about protecting your content, it's all about your brand. Using this method enables you to claim your website's name, domain, logo, and any other symbols representing your brand. That way, other people can't use them to deceive your visitors and customers without breaking the law.
- Patents. This type of protection is reserved for unique business processes and technologies. However, you can't patent a website as a whole (in the vast majority of cases).
Before moving on, let's talk a bit more about patents. There's a common misconception that almost any idea can be patented, but it's not quite true. In fact, it's likely you won't be able to obtain a patent for your product unless you can prove it's unique (and non-obvious).
To put it simply, if you run a simple WordPress website, you probably don't need to think about patents. That is unless you're offering a service you can prove is unique and innovative. If you just want to protect your intellectual property, copyrights and patents are the way to go.
What do I need to protect?
Technically, you don't need to copyright your WordPress website – at least not under US law. That's because websites are considered 'original work', and they're copyrighted from the moment they go live. The same law applies to other types of creative work as long as you document them in a way you can prove, such as writing them down or recording them.
Images are marked and water stained so the the owner of the image can track down who has used their images without permission. They will contact you with a settlement offer of $250.00 or more for using the image without purchasing. If you do not respond they can file a law suit against you.The best way to protect yourself is to hire a photographer, take your own hi-res photos or purchase a membership to a photo warehouse such as Stock Photo Secrets.
All of the suggestions above are simple rules to follow that will give you piece of mind that will keep you from unnecessary legal issues. If your business is big or you are a small business all the same guidelines apply when you are looking at copyrights, trademarks and patents.

(NAPSI)—If you or someone you care about is among America's more than 20 million veterans, here are a few facts and figures you may find interesting:
• About one in 10 Americans is a veteran.
• About three-quarters of veterans have served during wartime.
• Gulf War−era veterans now account for the largest share of all U.S. veterans.
• More than a million veterans are legally blind or have low vision.
Employing Our Nation's Veterans
National Industries for the Blind (NIB) and its network of associated nonprofit agencies employ more than 5,800 people who are blind, including nearly 600 of our nation's veterans.
These dedicated men and women working in NIB's network support our nation's veterans by manufacturing products and providing essential services for the federal government and U.S. military, including the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). People who are blind also produce hundreds of products available to veterans and their families in military commissaries and exchanges.
One Vet's Story
U.S. Navy veteran Antonio Arbelo is one of the 27 employees who are blind or visually impaired who work around the clock to make, pack and ship medicine bottles at Alphapointe. Headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, Alphapointe has manufactured nearly 1 billion medicine bottles for the VA since the mid-1990s.
Arbelo enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1985. After basic and advanced training, he was assigned to an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit. Wounded on a mission, he lost sight in one eye and was medically discharged in 1992.
After his discharge, Arbelo joined Alphapointe full-time as packer and machinist in the plastics department in support of the VA medicine bottles contract. "I'm pretty sure I've made a lot of the bottles in my medicine cabinet," he says with a laugh.

We have some exciting news for the Zidisha community: Zidisha has been selected for participation in the prestigious startup incubator Y Combinator.
Y Combinator is considered the world's top funding and growth program for game-changing online startups. Such well-known companies as AirBNB, Dropbox, Scribd and reddit got their start with Y Combinator.
Up until recently, Y Combinator funded only for-profit companies. Zidisha is only the second nonprofit to launch at Y Combinator. (The first was Watsi, a world-changing platform for crowdfunding medical treatments in developing countries.)
The Y Combinator program will take place from January until March this year. I have relocated to Mountain View, California, for these three months in order to participate. During this time, the Y Combinator advisors will work intensively with Zidisha, to help us acquire the expertise and resources we need in order to scale up our lending platform.
Y Combinator is highly competitive, and accepts only a tiny percentage of organizations that apply. Zidisha made the cut because we are doing something that nobody else is doing, and something that has the potential to change the world.
We are building a person-to-person lending community that transcends hitherto impregnable geographic barriers – barriers that have acted as hitherto insurmountable handicaps for people who happen to have been born in the world's poorest places. Now that we have the ability to bridge geography using the internet, geographic handicaps can be overcome. That is the world we are making.
Such audacious innovation is not an easy thing to be a part of. Forging new paths means there is no roadmap to follow, only a continuous process of learning and improvement. Joining such an unconventional endeavor – as a borrower, lender, supporter or volunteer – is not an easy choice. It feels much safer to stick with tried-and-true avenues of philanthropy. Supporting Zidisha before we had much external recognition required a lot of boldness, vision and faith.
That is why we have you to thank – our borrowers, lenders, volunteers, and everyone else who has accompanied us this far. Zidisha is a community of faith – not in the religious sense – but rather faith in the basic goodness of other people, and faith that we will overcome the geographic handicap that has held back too much of humanity for too long.
Thanks to each of you for keeping that faith alive.
You may read the official Y Combinator launch announcement at TechCrunch here: http://techcrunch.com/2014/01/23/zidisha-launches-a-kickstarter-style-micro-lending-platform-for-low-income-entrepreneurs-in-developing-countries/

The Chicago Blackhawks got contributions from star players and role players alike on Sunday night, and they used those great performances to knock off the Detroit Red Wings by a score of 4-1 at the United Center.
Nick Leddy, Ben Smith, Marian Hossa, and Jonathan Toews all picked up goals for the Blackhawks, and Corey Crawford made 19 saves as the Hawks snapped their two game losing streak and kept pace with the Colorado Avalanche in the Central Division.
The game started out well for the Blackhawks, as they got a couple of quick chances in the early going. Marcus Kruger had the best chance out of the bunch, getting a breakaway just over a minute into the game. He fired the puck just over the crossbar, but the Red Wings couldn't take advantage as Glendening was denied twice by Crawford as the game remained scoreless.
The Wings did get a power play shortly after that sequence, but the Hawks came to play in a big way. Jonathan Toews made a nice play to snare an errant pass and cleared it, while Michal Handzus picked up a couple of shot blocks and a nice clear of his own to keep things 0-0.
After Patrick Sharp was hooked on a 2-on-1 rush, the Blackhawks got a power play of their own, but they couldn't get any shots on goal as the Wings showed some serious defensive resolve, and the game ended up heading to the first intermission with no score.
As the second period got underway, the Blackhawks put some good pressure on Howard, and they got another power play as a result. Once again though, they couldn't manage a single shot on goal, and various attempts at entering the stone were stymied by a Wings' defense that seemed to be clicking on all cylinders despite missing some key pieces.
The Blackhawks came out of the man-advantage with some momentum, and when they got another power play a few minutes later, they were finally able to convert. The Red Wings' defense finally showed some cracks as several Hawks players got good chances, and when Leddy was left uncovered at the point, he blasted away and watched as his shot deflected off a Detroit skate and in past Howard to give the home side a 1-0 lead.
Patrick Kane ended up committing a penalty a few minutes after the goal by Leddy, and the Red Wings took advantage of the man-advantage to tie things up. Gustav Nyquist got the puck in between the face-off circles with some nifty passing, and his shot ended up deflecting off of both of Brent Seabrook's skates, and Crawford couldn't make the stop as the game was knotted up at 1-1.
Chicago responded well to the goal, getting some good chances on Howard. Ben Smith got a nice deflection off a wrist shot from Kane in the slot, but Howard was able to stop it. With about 14 seconds remaining in the period however, Smith got his revenge as he popped in a rebound off a shot by Duncan Keith from in close, and the Hawks carried a 2-1 lead into the second intermission.
The Blackhawks started the third period with some unwelcome news, as Brandon Saad left the game with an undisclosed injury. They did keep clicking on offense though, as Brandon Bollig picked up a nice scoring chance in the opening minutes off a feed from Marcus Kruger, but Howard refused to yield as the Wings clung to life in the game.
Some of that hope for Detroit was extinguished when some of the Hawks' top snipers paired up for a really nice goal. After Keith found Patrick Sharp in the neutral zone, the Hawks' alternate captain skated through a couple of Wings' defenders before finding Hossa near the blue line. With a head full of steam, Hossa burst into the Wings' zone, and he beat Howard with a quick snapshot to extend the Blackhawks' lead to two goals.
As the period approached the halfway point, the tempo really opened up on both sides as the Wings tried to climb back into the game. Bollig had a redirect chance off a shot from the point, but Howard was up to the task. Crawford then answered back with a couple of key saves, including a nifty glove save off a chance from Daniel Alfredsson in the slot to keep Chicago up by two goals.
With about three and a half minutes remaining in the game, the Red Wings piced up a power play thanks to a Keith high stick, but it was the Blackhawks who took advantage. Hossa made a steal off of Johan Franzen, and on a 2-on-1 rush, he found a wide open Toews, who made a nifty deke to beat Howard and give the Hawks' a 4-1 advantage with about two minutes remaining in the game.

Like many events that come back to haunt a person, it all started with a video. Glenn Taylor and another man were recorded toppling over an ancient rock formation in Utah while leading a group Boy Scout outing. Since the video surfaced, people have been very quick to judge the men's decision and now they could actually face felony charges. But the men have said that while it may have been a bad decision, they pushed the boulder over to protect others because that they were afraid that, since the rock was teetering on a small point, it could easily fall over and seriously injure someone.
But it was the serious injuries that Taylor suffered years ago that have since been called into question. After the video showing Taylor pushing over the rock went viral, one man in particular took note. He had been sued by Taylor recently for injuries he had suffered in a car accident back in 2009.
According to reports, Taylor had filed a personal injury lawsuit against the man saying that he had suffered permanent and debilitating injuries after the car accident, including a back injury. But now the man says that the video proves that he is not as badly injured as he claim
But Taylor has said that he did not have to push very hard at all to move the boulder from its platform. In fact, that is why they were concerned in the first place; it appeared as though the rock could tip at any moment. While it may not look good, the video does not necessarily prove that the man's injuries from the accident did not exist.
Being hurt in an accident can be a life-altering event. The pains and discomfort caused by even a minor crash can continue to affect a person's life long after an accident, but there are many times when other parties will try to challenge or deny reports that a victim has been as badly hurt as he or she claims. In these difficult situations, it can be beneficial to work with a Palm Springs attorney who can not only help a person pursue compensation for their injuries, but can also speak on their behalf when and if their claims are challenged.

Month: September 2017
Going Mobile
I've noticed recently that the functions of mobile technology are quickly overtaking their separate, less compact and less accessible equivalents. My relatively technical DSLR doesn't seem to be able to do much more than the camera on my phone, and i don't use the full Adobe suite I pay for and use on my amply equipped, high spec laptop any more than the free app I have on my phone. Even blogging on my phone seems pain-free.
I thought I would demonstrate this new found….freedom I suppose, with a showcase of a few snaps I took and edited, of my partners recent cider brewing mission (he too has inadvertently got on the homegrown, homemade, screw the system bandwagon)
Introduction to Food Stories
I wanted to share some food ideas, but I first wanted to think about how I would present them. I didn't want to get bogged down with exact measurements or nutritional information as I do not have the tools nor the patience for this. I am therefore going to be writing some "food stories".
I also wanted to question my motives for my food choices. I explore low calorie and low carb and initially, and narcissistically I approached these disciplines because I wanted to shift some weight. My priorities have now changed but I have taken away much more from the low carb mind-set than the hope of weight loss. It has taught me how to make meals more nutrient dense by replacing pasta, potatoes and bread with unprocessed, plant based alternatives.
I've spoken many times about my dislike for the pharmaceutical and large-scale agricultural industries that promote poor health…

The concept of Skin Health Restoration, advanced by Zein E. Obagi, MD, is the optimum process to restore skin activity, vitality, strength and youthfulness, while also treating any skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, or pigmentation. This process ultimately leads to the best possible results for your skin, and will allow you to maintain these results for the long term. But you will need to be patient because skin health restoration doesn't happen overnight. It takes time to revitalize your skin and wake up your cells that Dr. Obagi describes as having been sleeping because they get lazy.
Dr. Obagi defines one full skin cycle as the time it takes from baby cells to be born at the deepest layer of the epidermis (the skin's outer layer), and mature as they rise to the surface of the skin, and ultimately are shed off. This process takes approximately six weeks.
Why is this important? Because it explains why you should not expect to see improvement in your skin when you begin on the ZO Skin Health regimen before the 6-week mark, because healthy, new cells have not yet had a chance to mature and rise to the surface until a skin cycle is complete. In fact, the best results you can achieve will occur after three full skin cycles – which is approximately 18 weeks or between four and five months, according to Dr. Obagi.
Skin health restoration – the process of making your skin healthy, strong, and youthful, while concomitantly treating any existing skin problems – will take an average of approximately five months that is, if you follow the treatment regimen your ZO doctor or skin care professional has recommended without interruption. If you choose to slow down by using less product than recommended or interrupt the cycle by skipping days, you can still see a significant improvement, but it will just take longer than five months to reach the optimal results.

Homeless pets in Fullerton, California, need to be off of the streets, and a couple of the local shelters are trying to keep these animals fed, warm, and dry by taking them in. OC Animal Care and WAGS Pet Adoption are both located near Fullerton, and they take in companion animals that are in need of new families and homes.
OC Animal Care takes in more than 30,000 homeless animals—ranging from dogs to bunnies—each year! This organization first opened in back in 1941. The shelter provides services to more than a dozen towns and cities in the area to keep animals safe and off of the streets. They also provide animals with a warm place to live, food, and medical care. During each animal's stay, the shelter tries to find new, permanent homes for every one of them. At any given time, the shelter can house 380 dogs, 300 cats, 50 rabbits, and a variety of other animals.
WAGS Pet Adoption is an open-admission animal rehabilitation and adoption center that helps care for and rehome pets in the area. The organization also helps investigate and combat animal cruelty cases in the Fullerton, Westminster, and Stanton areas. All animals—even those deemed unadoptable—are welcome at WAGS Pet Adoption. This non-profit relies entirely on donations, fundraisers, and adoption fees to keep helping more animals in need.
If you are looking for a new pet in the Fullerton area, consider visiting one of these animal shelters.
Dogs enjoy a night out, too, so bring your pooch to the Fullerton Dog Days of Summer at the Downtown Fullerton Market!

My Writing Desk
I got a question a couple of days ago asking what my writing desk looked like. That's a pretty good question, because I have two desks in my office. One is for the day-to-day finances, emailing, music, and all the rest.
The other one is my writing desk. I planned it with the idea of getting away from distractions. It's on the opposite wall from my other desk, so I turn the speakers off on that one. That way I won't be distracted by email beeps, and all the rest. And yes, I turn off the music too. I find I need as much silence as possible. Probably indicates I'm easily distracted!
So I took a picture of my writing desk, the one with no distractions. As I looked at the picture I wondered what I'd been thinking! No distractions? I had to be kidding myself.
However, if you're one of my readers (and I hope that you are!), I'm presenting the picture for you here. Feel free to get a little view into my head, and the things that interest me. The stuff I'm interested in.
Click to see the image full-size.
I've got a 1949 Packard Deluxe Eight sedan. I bought it in 2006, rusted, gutted and not running. I worked on it pretty hard for a few summers, and now it's a fun car to drive.
I use Scrivener for my writing. It's a wonderful software product, and you can take that from a guy that writes software for a living (me).
I love Bluetooth stuff, so I use a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. Also a headset, but that's not in the picture.
The Mossberg 300 is a great shotgun for home defense. There's a box of 12-gauge shells for it.
The fake security camera is looking for opportunities. It doesn't take pictures, but it does follow you around with a blinking red light, and runs on two AA batteries.
I built an airplane from a kit, which I flew happily for six years. Loved flying that thing. I finally sold it to a brain surgeon (yes, I really did) because fuel got so expensive. Maybe someday I'll build another one.
My day job never goes away, so I have a dedicated laptop for that under the Toshiba I use for writing.
My kids (their ages range from sixteen to forty-four) and my wife are what keep me going. I've got stuff all over from them.
And lastly, you can see real work taking place. That is, when I'm not distracted.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. -- Whether it's the strum of a guitar, a flash of a camera or the stroke of a paintbrush, teens at Newport Academy are using creative arts to help them overcome anxiety, depression and other mental-health disorders.
Creative Arts Therapy is part of the comprehensive treatment program at Newport Academy, a teen treatment center for adolescents dealing with mental health challenges or substance abuse. Creative Arts Therapy differs from traditional talk therapy, as it allows teens to express themselves without words and prepares them to be creative in other aspects of life. Adolescence can be a challenging time. Teens may not want to communicate directly. Art therapy allows them to communicate through other means and in doing so, leads to new approaches in dealing with pain, trauma and difficult relationships.
"Teens who are good with words can use them as a disguise rather than a method of self-discovery," said Jamison Monroe, Jr., founder and CEO of Newport Academy. "For other adolescents, talk therapy doesn't work and discussing feelings may be frightening or uncomfortable."
Creative Arts Therapies, including music and visual art interventions, are proven alternative options for teens and go to the heart of what they're experiencing.
"Many teens in recovery know what they're 'supposed' to say in therapy," said Kristin Wilson, who holds a master's degree in Creative Arts Therapies and is the director of clinical research at Newport Academy. "Teens know the buzzwords and the talk therapy process can be impacted by that. The creative process doesn't allow for that kind of manipulation to happen."
Creative Arts Therapy at Newport Academy can range from simply listening to music and viewing art, to creating music, photography and painting. According to Wilson and the experts at Newport Academy, the creative experience produces a natural high and gives teens a sense of fulfillment and happiness.
"Teens who abuse substances are trying to escape feelings," said Wilson. "Expressing who they are, without words, can lead to an authentic connection with themselves and allows them to make authentic connections with others."
Newport Academy has several locations throughout the United States, including residential programs, recovery day schools and outpatient programs for mental health and substance abuse. For more information or to find a campus near you, click here.

A Polish tall ship aiming to promote the country as it celebrates 100 years of independence was expected to reach Acapulco on Wednesday on its cruise around the world.
The Dar Młodzieży was expected to pull in at the resort town on Mexico's Pacific coast at around 5pm Polish time.
Mexican officials were to be invited aboard, while a meeting was planned to allow young Poles to get to know their Mexican counterparts, public broadcaster Polish Radio's IAR news agency reported.
The Polish ship will next head to Panama for the Roman Catholic Church's World Youth Day, the culmination of its voyage around the world.
The Dar Młodzieży left the Polish Baltic city of Gdynia in May, with plans to call in at over 20 ports during its 10-month Independence Cruise.
Poland last year marked the centenary of regaining its independence after more than 120 years of foreign rule.

Although you may be thinking, "I don't know if I have what it takes to join the medical industry," let me assure you, that there are medical careers that are easier to get started on than you may have first imagined. I can tell you that, through HCL nursing, you'll be on your way to the medical career of your dreams. The medical field is filled with opportunity for those motivated individuals looking for the right place to work. We want to see you in the perfect lab coat! So we can show you that there is the right career choice in the medical industry that isn't too hard to get started with. Here are three medical careers that are easy to start:
・ Nursing – Nursing is an opportunity that you don't want to pass up if you love working with people and have a knack for real healing. Nurses are devoted to caring for the sick and injured at the times of their suffering. Nursing is one of the oldest professions in the world, as long as there have been people in need of help, there have been nurses to treat their wounds and illnesses. Becoming a licensed practical or vocational nurse requires a few years of schooling in a program designed for registered nurses. While taking courses to finish school, you can work at a doctor's office as a nursing assistant.
・ Dietitian – Working as a dietitian is easy to get started on and can be rewarding. Different states and nations have different requirements to become a registered dietician. However, the skills required for becoming a dietitian are an understanding of anatomy and nutritional science. Your job as a dietitian will require working with patients to develop and prescribe meal plans for their health benefit. By understanding their current diets and their future dietary needs, you can help your patients with a speedy and easy recovery. Ancient doctors were often practitioners of dietetics, as seen in the work of Plato.
・ Pharmacist – Knowledge of medicine, its effects, processes, purposes, and limitations is the domain of pharmacy. Pharmacists deal with doctors and hospitals in making sure patients receive the correct medication, in the correct dosage, and that the medicinal interactions do not produce harmful side effects. To become a pharmacist, typically requires you go through a university level education and complete the pharmacology exam. Each state and nation has different requirements so follow these closely.
Although practicing medicine professionally can be an arduous task and requires years of experience to gain expertise in, getting started in medicine is easier than you think. By taking the right career route, you'll find that you can enter the medical profession easier than you had previously imagined. We know that you can get started in the medical industry, whether it's as a nurse, dietitian, or pharmacist. Consider the routes offered by HCL nursing and get started with your career in medicine today!

Hunt For Zero Point Paperback / softback
by Nick Cook
In 1966 a group of highly respected aerospace engineers revealed that US scientists were perfecting ways to control gravity.
They predicted a breakthrough would come by the end of the decade, ushering in an era of limitless, clean propulsion for a new breed of fuelless transport systems - and weapons beyond our imagination.
Of course it never happened. Or did it? Forty years later a chance encounter with one of the engineers who made that prediction forces a highly sceptical aerospace and defence journalist, Nick Cook, to consider the possibility that America did indeed crack the gravity code - and has covered up ever since.
His investigations moved from the corridors of NASA to the dark heartland of America's classified weapons establishment, where it became clear that half a century ago, in the dying days of the Third Reich, Nazi scientists were racing to perfect a Pandora's Box of high technology that would deliver Germany from defeat. History says that they failed. But the trail that takes Cook deep into the once-impenetrable empire of SS General Hans Kammler - the man charged by Adolf Hitler with perfecting German secret weapons technology - says otherwise.
In his pursuit of the true facts behind Kammler, Cook finally establishes the truth: America is determined to hang onto its secrets, but the stakes are enormous and others are now in the race to acquire a suppressed technology.

I'm guessing you're catching things earlier than I did, thank goodness. I'm guessing you have a real good opportunity to heal naturally if you can keep relatively active and healthy without incurring serious soreness, and do that over a year's time, you'll be mended better (by nature) than if you had surgery
I have to respectfully disagree that you can heal better than if you were mended by surgery. You have no idea what type of tear he has. If it is complete then the body CAN NOT heal it. Also on some tears scar tissue is laid down haphazardly and is rigid, thus setting the body up for tightness and another tear in the future.
That is what i had. In fact I know i had this once before in college and it ended my football career, yet i allowed them to open my back....which did nothing to change symtpoms...after 1 year of pool walking it resolved...yet it was always tight....And then it went 18 years later it completely detached, but meyers said it was scarred.
Back in 1984 they did not know of AP, so there is nothing that could be done.

Content Rating: G (No violence. No swear words. No sex scenes.)
Book Description:
Ah, that inimitable Italian style. It's embedded in an Italian woman's DNA. Fashion doesn't define her. She defines herself. She knows an extraordinary life is not about status, money, or achievement. The only mastery it requires is one her heritage has given her, the irrepressible passion to make art of life itself.
Ask an Italian woman where she gets her sense of style and she will tell you it's not about labels. It's tethered to humble roots; humanity, community, conscious consumerism, and a profound appreciation for art in all its forms.
Sass, Smarts and Stilettos takes the reader on a journey from the humble hill towns of Abruzzo to the revered fashion capitals of Milan and Rome, into the artisan workshops of Florence, and the humanistic business practices of Luisa Spagnoli, Brunello Cuccinelli, and Alberta Ferretti, from the emergence of Italy's fashion industry after WWII, to slow food and sustainable fashion initiatives taking root around the world.
Life lessons echo in the words of the author's mother and grandmother, in the voices of Italian film divas, designers, tastemakers, writers, and artisans across generations, from the first Sala Bianca in Florence to the game changing design ethic of Franca Sozzani, Miuccia Prada, and Donatella Versace.
Learn how to live fully within your own philosophy of living. Say good-bye to mindless consumerism, emotional clutter, and others' expectations. Create a personal style that fits like a custom blazer by Ferrè and enchants like the colors of a Sicilian sunset. Then go on to craft an extraordinary and empowering life made-to-measure for you alone.

Windsor, Ont. - The Windsor Lancer Football team clinched a playoff berth for the fourth consecutive year with a 39-29 win over the visiting Ottawa Gee Gees on Friday night at Alumni Field.
With the victory, the Lancers move to 5-1 on the season, while the Gee-Gees drop to 4-3. Prior the start of the game the Lancers paid tribute to their graduating seniors as part of the games official coin toss.
Tai Pham made Lancer history in the win becoming Windsor's all-time leader in career sacks with 17.5.
Lancer quarterback Austin Kennedy led the Blue & Gold with 227 yards and one touchdown on 16-for-28 passing. His touchdown puts him 5 passing touchdowns away from securing the OUA record, currently held by Josh Sacobie with 79.
On the ground, the Lancers were once again led by Tarrence Crawford with 142 yards and one touchdown. Beau Lumley had an exceptional game for Windsor leading all receivers with 99 yards on 6 catches, and contributing 91 yards rushing and a touchdown.
Defensively, Joe Iatzko had a standout game with 12.5 total tackles and 2 sacks.
Ottawa quarterback Derek Wendel finished the game 25-for-44 for 326 yards, with three touchdowns, two interceptions, and five sacks. Bryce Vieira led the visitors in rushing with 83 yards and a touchdown, while Mitchell Baines had 81 yards in the air on seven catches.
Tarik Bonas kicked off the Lancers first scoring drive when he picked off Wendel and went 48-yards down the field to the Ottawa 2-yard line. Nick Vincent finished the score on the next play with a two yard jaunt into the end zone.
Just four minutes later, Tarrence Crawford went 27-yards into the end zone for the Lancers second score of the quarter.
Anthony Malandruccolo kicked off the second quarter with a 14 yard field goal on the Lancers first drive of the frame to put Windsor up 17-1. Beau Lumley added to the score board at 6:19 of the quarter, giving the Blue & Gold a 24-1 edge.
The Gee-Gees did not back down and went on a 14-0 run to close out the half as Vieira added two scores, a one yard run and a 22 yard pass from Wendel.
Windsor opened the second half with a 12-0 run that spanned the entire third quarter and included a safety, a four yard pass from Kennedy to Dylan Whitfield, and a 19-yard field goal from Malandruccolo.
The final quarter saw the Gee-Gees attempt a late rally, including a TD on the final play of the game, but the Lancer defense held the visitors at bay to seal the win 39-29.
The Lancers will now hit the road to close out the regular season as they head to the nation's capital next Saturday to take on the Carleton Ravens, and will close out the year in London against their arch rivals, the Western Mustangs. Both games can be seen live at www.oua.tv.

Is All Sugar Created Equal?
The average American consumes 82 grams of added sugar (about 20 teaspoons) per day, adding up to 66 pounds of added sugar every year. There are two kinds of sugar in the world: good sugar (natural sugar) and bad sugar (refined sugar) and it's all hiding in places you might expect like smoothies, juices, granola, yogurt, dressings and tomato sauce. The danger is that when consumed recklessly, too much of the wrong kind of sugar can cause:
1. WEIGHT GAIN. Heightened blood sugar causes the body to store more calories as fat. Sugar is also thought to block the appetite-suppressing hormone leptin and cause cravings for unhealthy foods.
2. DIABETES. Excessive insulin release caused by sugar consumption can cause your body to build up a resistance to insulin, which eventually causes type 2 diabetes
3. HEART HEALTH. A high-sugar diet adversely affects cholesterol and raises blood pressure, leading to heart disease. These effects are even seen in people who eat otherwise healthy diets!
4. INFLAMMATION. The blood sugar instability that comes with consumption of sugar—particularly the processed kind—encourages disease-causing inflammation throughout the body.
5.COGNITIVE ISSUES. Sugar is thought to interfere with learning and memory, cause brain fog and mood swings and hinder your ability to cope with stress.
The good news?
There is such a thing as healthier sugar! In fact, sugar is an important part of your diet. It's WHERE and HOW you're getting your sugar that matters.
Sakara meals use only natural, unrefined sugar sources (like pure maple syrup, wildflower honey, whole fruit and dates). All all of our dishes - even our sweetest breakfasts! - are nutritionally designed with the ideal 1:1 ratio of fiber to sugar to balance and stabilize blood sugar, promote weight loss and encourage a healthy microbiome.
THE BAD: Fruit juice
THE GOOD: Whole fruit
WHY: Those fresh-pressed juices might seem healthy, but they're chock-full of sugar and not much else. Whole fruit, on the other hand, contains plant fiber to help slow the release of sugar into your bloodstream, keeping your blood sugar stable and preventing crashes. The fiber in whole fruit also aids digestion and feeds the beneficial bacteria in your gut, which work hard to keep you healthy.
THE BAD: Refined or artificial sugar
THE GOOD: All-natural, unprocessed sugar
WHY: Processed white and brown sugar are addictive and linked to both weight gain and disease-causing inflammation. And the fake stuff? Not only is it potentially toxic, but studies show it actually makes your sugar cravings worse. Sakara meals never contain refined sugar or artificial sweeteners. Instead, our recipes are made with unprocessed sources of sweetness, like pure maple syrup, wildflower honey, coconut sugar and dates.

Continuing the series on 5 Super foods to boost your immune system.
Spinach (Palak):
Spinach made our list not just because it's rich in vitamin C but also because it's packed with numerous antioxidants and beta-carotene, which may increase the infection-fighting capability of our immune systems.
Green Tea:
Polyphenols, potent plant antioxidants, are what's believed to give green tea its immune-boosting effects. To maximize the benefits and minimize bitterness, use just-below-boiling water and steep green tea no more than a minute or two.
A little lemon and honey can also help blunt the bitterness. But don't add milk, because the proteins will bind to the polyphenols, making them ineffective.
Aloe Vera:
Aloe Vera is a powerful immune modulator [stimulator]. It has the effect of enhancing the immune system function through improved digestion. Aloe vera acts as a potent anti-inflammatory agent, stopping the damage and leakage of the intestinal wall, thereby taking the stress off the immune system. It increases the number and intensity of all immune cells in the body.
Red Bell Pepper (Red capsicum):
These are known to contain a rich source of Vitamin C as well as beta carotenes. Red bell peppers help fight disease-causing germs very quickly and also keep the skin radiant and rejuvenated.
Gooseberry (Amla):
Gooseberry is the richest source of Vitamin C which is responsible to increase immunity. With increased immune system body is resistance towards common disease like flu, cough and also prevent infections. Gooseberry restores vitality and rejuvenates all bodily systems.

My former work colleague in Germany sent me today a newspaper article breathlessly describing a "scene just like from an action movie" in Schwerin. Long story short, a drunken twenty-year-old drove his Nissan Sunny (funniest part of the story for me) off the road, over a small pedestrian walkway, down some steps, and onto the frozen Pfaffenteich, which is a large pond/small lake in the middle of town. His three passengers disembarked and attempted to get the car off the ice and back up the steps–and nearly succeeded–but when the driver saw a police car, he decided to turn tail and escape by racing to the opposite shore, covering about 600 meters (2,000 feet) before the ice gave way and he and his car plunged into the dark water.
The style of the article is the icing on the pond…er, cake. Perhaps channeling Truman Capote, the reporter opts to write the article in the present tense and alert us to the characters' states of mind. Here's my translation of the best bit:
But before the car can go completely under, the young Grambower [Grambow is a town] escapes the vehicle. Because his escape on foot proceeds exactly where the ice becomes even thinner, he breaks through into icy water a few meters from solid ground. His strength quickly fades; he will not survive for long in the icy water.
The police, who already fear the worst, hasten from the southern shore to the northern one. At first silence reigns. But then the officers hear a light splash. They extend to the victim a wooden board, can finally pull him on shore…
Whew, that tension's so thick it could sustain the heft of a Nissan Sunny!

Peach Canker (2008)
Peach canker is a fungal disease common on apricot, prune, plum, and sweet cherry trees as well as on peach trees. The fungi that causes this disease enter the plant through wounds and results in death weakened twigs and branches, and in reduced yields. (HYG-3005-08)
Peach Leaf Curl (2008)
Leaf curl is a springtime disease that occurs on peach. The disease though not a problem every spring, can be severe during cool, wet springs that follow mild winters. (HYG-3006-08)
Brown Rot of Stone Fruits (2008)
The disease is most important on fruits just before ripening, during and after harvest. Under favorable conditions for disease development, the entire crop can be completely rotted on the tree. Peaches not kept in cool storage may be rotted in two to three days by the fungus. (HYG-3009-08)
Black Knot of Plums and Cherries (2008)
Black knot of plums and cherries is a widespread and serious disease throughout the United States. Black knot is a common disease in Ohio on wild plums and cherries and in home orchards where pruning and spraying are not regularly practiced. Figure 1. Hard, black galls caused by the black rot fungus on plum twigs. The disease becomes progressively worse during each growing season and unless effective control measures are taken, it can stunt or kill the tree. (HYG-3011-08)
Bacterial Spot of Stone Fruits (2008)
Bacterial spot affects peaches, nectarines, apricots, plums, prunes, and cherries. Bacterial spot can affect leaves, twigs, and fruit. Severe infection results in reduced fruit quality and yield. (HYG-3019-08)
Scab of Peach, Nectarine, Plum, and Apricot (2008)
Scab occurs throughout the Midwest, wherever peaches, nectarines, plums, and apricots are grown. The disease affects fruit, leaves, and young green twigs. Scab is most common in home orchards where fungicide spray programs are not practiced. (HYG-3020-08)
Cherry Leaf Spot (2008)
Cherry leaf spot is one of the most serious diseases of both sweet and sour cherries in the Midwest. The disease mainly affects the leaves, but lesions may also appear on fruit, petioles, and fruit stems (pedicels). Diseased leaves drop prematurely, and severely affected trees may be defoliated by mid-summer. (HYG-3021-08)
X-Disease (Mycoplasma disease of Peaches and Nectarines) (2008)
X-disease has been diagnosed in several peach orchards in northern Ohio. Once the disease is established in an area or orchard, it can be very destructive. (HYG-3206-08)

In a previous post, you saw how to work with line numbers when using LINQ to XML to read a file. This post continues in the same vein, but this time the focus is on how to:
- Read in an XML file with an arbitrary format, and then write it back out to disk in exactly the same format.
- Read in an XML file with an arbitrary format, and write it back out with standard formatting
Some scenarios where you might need this functionality include reading a document from one location and writing it to another location, or reading in a document, editing it, and writing it back out with new data, but the same format.
You can download the source for the code shown in this post.
How to Preserve Formatting
Consider the following block of XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <alpha><beta> sam </beta></alpha>
This document has an extremely idiosyncratic layout. Tags are nested on the same line and a text field stands on its own surrounded by linefeeds. If you wish to read in and write this document back out with the formatting preserved, here is how to proceed:
XDocument x = XDocument.Load(readFileName, LoadOptions.PreserveWhitespace); x.Save(writeFileName, SaveOptions.DisableFormatting);
When calling XDocument.Load, pass in the LoadOptions.PreserveWhitespace flag from the following enumeration:
public enum LoadOptions { None = 0, PreserveWhitespace = 1, SetBaseUri = 2, SetLineInfo = 4 }
When writing the document back out to disk, use SaveOptions.DisableFormatting, from the following enumeration:
public enum SaveOptions { None = 0, DisableFormatting = 1 }
If you take these two steps, then the XML you write to disk will have the same formatting as the document you read in.
Modifying Oddly Formatted XML
If you read in XML that has an odd format, it is likely that linefeeds play a role in that formatting. Suppose we want to modify the XML document shown previously so that it looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <alpha><beta> Sue </beta></alpha>
The value sam from the original document has been replaced with the word Sue. To make this substitution properly, you need to take care to preserve the linefeeds in the original document. In this example I show a relatively mindless way to preserve linefeeds. For good measure, I also add in code for working with line numbers.
XDocument x2 = XDocument.Load(readFileName, LoadOptions.PreserveWhitespace | LoadOptions.SetLineInfo); XText value = (from c in x2.Elements().DescendantNodes().OfType<XText>() where c.Value.Trim().Length > 0 select c).Single(); IXmlLineInfo x = (IXmlLineInfo)value; Console.WriteLine("Line Number: {0}", x.LineNumber); value.Value = Environment.NewLine + " Sue " + Environment.NewLine; x2.Save(createFileName, SaveOptions.DisableFormatting);
This code reads in the original XML file with the PreserverWhitespace flag. I've also OR'd in the LoadOptions.SetLineInfo flag. I do this not because I have any real need to do so, but simply so you can see how to pass in two flags to the Load method.
The next block of code queries the document for all the text nodes that consist of something more than pure white space. I then output the line number of the node that was found. Finally, I modify the node, replacing the original text with the word Sue:
value.Value = Environment.NewLine + " Sue " + Environment.NewLine;
To modify the node, I simply replace the Value property with new text. Note that the code explicitly adds in a pair of linefeeds to preserves the original, idiosyncratic formatting. If you are confused about what is happening here, look up again at the original document. It begins with two tags:
Then there is a linefeed, the word sam, and another linefeed and finally the closing tags:
The code I've written simply preserves those linefeeds. I'm doing this not because I think it is a good idea to include white space like this in a document, but simply to show you that it is possible to preserve it if you have a need or desire to do so.
After modifying the document, the XML is written back to disk using the same technique explained in the previous section.
Cleaning Up XML
If you discover an XML file that has idiosyncratic formatting that you want to remove, LINQ to XML makes it fairly easy to clean up such a document. By default, LINQ to XML will write out a document with proper formatting. All you have to do is use the Load and Save methods without any of the LoadOptions or SaveOption flags shown in the previous two sections:
XDocument x2 = XDocument.Load(readFileName); x2.Save(createFileName);
This code will not, however, remove arbitrary white space from a text node. For instance, the text node described above that begins and ends with a linefeed will still have linefeeds when you write the document back out. This may be exactly what you want. On the other hand, you may feel it leaves your document in a pretty ugly state. Here is how to clean up the problem
XDocument x2 = XDocument.Load(readFileName); var query = from c in x2.Elements().DescendantNodes().OfType<XText>() select c; foreach (var item in query) { item.Value = item.Value.Trim(); } x2.Save(createFileName);
This code finds all the text nodes in the document and strips away their white space with standard string Trim method. When you are done, you can write the document back out to disk. It will now have the clean formatting you expect:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <alpha> <beta>sam</beta> </alpha>
Finally, if you want to strip away all white space, and end up with a document that sits on a single line, you can write code that looks just like the listing shown earlier in this section, except that the the call to Save the document should look like this:
x2.Save(createFileName, SaveOptions.DisableFormatting);
The output you create will appear all on one line, like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><alpha><beta>sam</beta></alpha>
If you did not clean up the text nodes as shown above, then your code would end up with linefeeds in it from the text nodes. The result, in our case, would look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><alpha><beta> sam </beta></alpha>
The point here is that DisableFormatting turns off LINQ to XML's attempts to format your code properly. If you read in strangely formatted code, then using this flag will preserve that idiosyncratic formatting. If you read in code with no attempt to preserve the original formatting, as we do in this section, then writing to disk with this option will end up stripping away all formatting, and leaving you with code all on one line except for white space in a text node.
Working with Text Files
In this post I've focused on reading in and writing XML files using the LINQ to XML API. It's perhaps useful to recall that you can also use standard .NET IO in order to perform similar tasks. This can be particularly helpful when you are testing your code, and want to be sure that your LINQ to XML routines are behaving as expected.
Here is a simple routine for reading in a XML file, or any other text file:
private static void ReadAsText(string fileName) { string s = File.ReadAllText(fileName); Console.WriteLine(s); }
And here is the C# call for writing a file to disk:
If you download the sample code associated with this post, you will see that I use these routines to confirm that my code is working correctly.
In this post you've seen how to preserve white space in an XML document, and how to strip it out and return to standard formatting. You also had a chance to learn how to edit an idiosyncratically structured XML document without changing its format.

Creator: Bianchi, Javier, Ottonello, Pablo, and Presno, Ignacio Series: Working paper (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Research Department) Number: 762 Abstract:
The excess procyclicality of fiscal policy is commonly viewed as a central malaise in emerging economies. We document that procyclicality is more pervasive in countries with higher sovereign risk and provide a model of optimal fiscal policy with nominal rigidities and endogenous sovereign default that can account for this empirical pattern. Financing a fiscal stimulus is costly for risky countries and can render countercyclical policies undesirable, even in the presence of large Keynesian stabilization gains. We also show that imposing austerity can backfire by exacerbating the exposure to default, but a well-designed "fiscal forward guidance" can help reduce the excess procyclicality.
