First impressions: an Easterner's new life in the West
Photographer Andrew Cullen used Instagram to document his summer 2012 move from Maine to Colorado, capturing Western scenes of surprise, wonder, and delight. Click on the gallery view to see the images full size.
Oct 02, 2012 02:32 PM
Andrew - you will always be inspired by the beauty of the West. Every sunrise presents a different perspective to a new day, and each sunset brings the hope of another day filled with new discoveries. You will continue to stop and reflect in the glorious beauty the West has to behold. This week marks my ten-year anniversary of moving to Colorado - a transplant from New Jersey - and I still make a point to stop and enjoy the scenery on a daily basis, usually with a camera in hand. Enjoy your new home!

Ditto, a transplant from Maine to Utah, with camera in hand.
Oct 03, 2012 09:56 AM
It's always great to see an Easterner moving to the West and sending the word back home of the beautiful landscapes here. With states in the West doubling in population every 30 years or so, it's so exciting to see the faces and perspectives of those transforming the landscape into something more familiar to them! I just wonder if people like Andrew realize that their home states were once as wondrous and wild as those in the West?
Oct 03, 2012 10:09 AM
@Peter, none of us are natives to this place, and the United States -- particularly the public lands of the West, where many of these images were taken -- belongs to all of us to explore, love, and live in.

Rousing photos, Andrew. They've rattled me from complacency. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Welcome to the West!
Oct 03, 2012 09:06 PM
True Stephanie, but that doesn't make the unfortunate reality of population growth any easier to accept.

Topic: paginating carousel, that loops through groups and projects
The setup is that I have Groups and projects. The groups has_many :projects and vise versa with belongs_to.
I want to setup a carousel that loops through the groups and displays each project in a group but then moves onto the next group. I also need it to paginate inside the group.
So it would load up Group 1 which contains 5 projects. It would show the first project and have 5 pagination options, as the user clicked the next button, it would progress through Group 1's projects until it finished, then it would start on Group 2 which contains 7 projects. It would display the first and it would show 7 pagination options... Does that make sense?
Thanks for any help or direction you can provide. I am using Jquery and am open to any of the available carousels.

USA TODAY Sports provides your March Madness therapy
Welcome to another session of Bracket Briefing, our attempt to provide you with essential information on the Big Dance — highlighting the Florida Gulf Coasts of the college basketball world, and forecasting the Wichita State moments before they happen.
Soundtrack: Before you read any more, take a listen to this morning's jam of the day. It's dedicated to Wichita State.
Teams left in the field: 4
PREVIOUS BRIEFING: Best moments of '13 Dance
PREVIOUS BRIEFING: Most stunning Final Fours
At the water cooler: There's no right way to break down the best players who are still playing in the NCAA tournament. Do we go off NBA potential or just statistics? That's boring and no fun. When we pick 50 of the most important, well, then we're opening debatable topic. There's a reason some of the best players are watching the rest of the tournament from home. But best and most important take two different meanings. So without further ado, the Final Four's 25 most important players.
- Kevin Ware, Louisville. This is not a joke. Ware's presence on the sidelines at the Final Four will be just as inspiring as his "go win" courageous direction to teammates after he suffered one of the most traumatic sports injuries to date in the Cards' Elite eight win over Duke. Please Read: How Louisville teammate touched Kevin Ware's heart.
- Trey Burke, Michigan. Floor general is the engine to Michigan's offense, averaging 18.8 points and 6.8 assists per game.
- Russ Smith, Louisville. The do-everything guard has gone on a tournament tear, scoring 23, 27, 31 and 23 points.
- Cleanthony Early, Wichita State. Main offensive catalyst for defensive-minded Shockers. Menace on the glass.
- Brandon Triche, Syracuse. When one of the Orange's elite scorers (13.7 points per game) goes cold, so do they.
- Michael Carter Williams, Syracuse. He orchestrates the offense and was nation's top assists man, stuffed the stat sheet in Orange's last win —12 points, eight rebounds, six assists and five steals.
- Tim Hardaway Jr., Michigan. His long-range shooting is pivotal for the Wolverines' dynamic backcourt and high-octane offense. Averages 14.6 points per game.
- Peyton Siva, Louisville. When the Cards' pass-first point guard goes scoreless or isn't productive offensively, Louisville's offense is subject to fall into lulls.
- Malcolm Armstead, Wichita State. The Oregon transfer will draw a tough matchup against Siva, but should be ready for the challenge. His poise under Louisville's pressure will dictate WSU's tempo.
- Mitch McGary, Michigan. The 6-10 freshman erupted for 25 points and 14 points in a win against Kansas. His breakout performances aren't always needed, but they can certainly prove to be the difference maker.
- C.J. Fair, Syracuse.
- Carl Hall, Wichita State.
- Ron Baker, Wichita State.
- Gorgui Dieng, Louisville.
- James Southerland, Syracuse.
- Chane Behanan, Louisville.
- Nik Stauskas, Michigan.
- Glenn Robinson III, Michigan.
- Demetric Williams, Wichita State.
- Wayne Blackshear, Louisville.
- Tekele Cotton, Wichita State.
- Rakeem Christmas, Syracuse.
- Evan Wessel, Wichita State.
- Fred VanVleet, Wichita State.
- Luke Hancock, Louisville.
Final Four matchups: A look at Saturday's clashes.
- Shockers vs. Cardinals: It's Wichita State's "Play Angry" vs. Louisville's "Play for Kevin." Wichita State, known for its resilient rebounding, has been unflappable defensively, but no team presents a better challenge to those traits than Louisville.
- Orange vs. Wolverines: This is potentially fascinating for fans of X's and O's. Michigan has committed the fewest turnovers in NCAA Division I. Can guards Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. help the Wolverines become the firs team to solve the zone?
Must-read piece this morning: USA TODAY Sports intern Jace Evans broke down 10 of the best dunks from this college basketball season. Yes, FGCU's Dunk City made the cut. Watch all the highlight reels here.
Tweet that speaks volume: Magic Johnson welcomed UCLA coach Steve Alford and USC coach Andy Enfield to town.
Outside the Dance: After Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said he would consider drafting Baylor's Brittney Griner, the age-old debate took off. Can the girls compete with the boys? USA TODAY Sports' Kelly Whiteside talks to Nancy Liberman, the first woman to ever play in a men's game, in this question-answering piece here.
Sounding off: "I think that type of treatment would have been horribly inappropriate in the NBA, or on any level. That's not an appropriate setting in the United States military." — ESPN analyst Jay Bilas on fired Rutgers coach Mike Rice's abusive behavior, which included throwing balls at players and directing homophobic slurs at them.
Quote to note: "I'm already making seven figures. You can eat a lot of steak and hamburger and pizza for what we're making at Wichita State . ... I live on the golf course. We have a beautiful backyard. My wife has four dogs. She gardens. We fly around on private planes to Napa and back to South Carolina. We have a good life, man." — Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall on his future after the Final Four.
Final Four fact: Louisville, Syracuse and Wichita State all had three-game losing streaks this year. Michigan lost three of four at the start of February and went on to get stunned by Penn State at the end of the month.
Kickin' it old school: The vintage clip of the day goes to...
Dwyane Wade's triple-double against Kentucky (2003).

That is a very nice appartment, it is clean and in a convenient place, where we could find everything we needed. Our host Salvatore and his cousin were also very nice, always when we had questions, he answered us immediately.
He was very friendly. The flat is equipped perfectly and very clean. I could sleep very well and I would sleep once more there. Thank you :)
zona centrale ottima, purtroppo Piazza Garibaldi è molto rumorosa anche di notte e quindi difficle addormentarsi. Inoltre l'appartamento per tre persone m anche solo per due è invivibile troppo piccolo. la stanza è grande quanto il divano letto, la doccia per chi è alto più di 1,80 cm. è impraticabile, il lavandino è grande quanto una mano......fate voi, se volete abbiamo anche le foto!!
Décu pour le bruitttttt et la petitesse de l 'appartement. N'avons pas rencontré Salvatore mais Stephane qui a été extremement sympa
Het appartement is op zich goed, alleen aan de kleine kant. De uitklaptafel kon niet worden uitgeklapt want deze was stuk. Dit hebben we wel,doorgegeven zodat de tafel gemaakt kan worden. Prima locatie op een gezellig plein, mooi uitzicht.
Die Wohnung war klein aber sauber. Die Nächte waren laut. Der Strassenlärm war die ganze Nacht.
Doch ich würde mit den Kindern wieder in diese Wohnung.
Nous avons été satisfait de notre sejour dans ce petit studio bien équipé et agréablement situé car n ayant pas de voiture nous avions besion de transports en commun a proximité.
Notre hôte a etait serieux et disponible.
On y retournera sans aucune hésitation.
Teddy et Christine d'aubagne.
Splendido appartamento in pieno centro di Nizza, esattamente come presentato sul sito. Dotato di tutti i comfort, pulito e ben riscaldato.
Gentilissimo il sig. Salvatore nell'accoglienza e disponibilità.
Vivamente consigliato.

When the temperature rises, there's nothing like having a swimming pool or waterslide in your yard. Walmart offers a large selection of aboveground swimming pools, kiddie pools, water slides and pool accessories to keep you cool and having fun all summer long.
When shopping for a swimming pool, consider whether you want a pool that you can set up and take down easily or one that's more durable and permanent. Easy set swimming pools, as their name suggests, are very easy to set up and take down. They consist of a vinyl shell with an inflatable top ring. The pool takes shape as you fill it with water. Metal frame pools are also easy to set up and are somewhat more durable. They consist of a sturdy metal frame and a 3-ply liner. Metal wall swimming pools are permanent and don't have to be taken down and stowed for the winter.
When choosing a waterslide, you'll also have to consider your space and whether you want a model that's easy to set up and take down or something more permanent. Smaller slides tend to be easier to assemble and take down and are good for smaller spaces and smaller children, while larger slides can accomodate larger children and adults. If you have the space, consider a slide with a pool or a deluxe slide with a play area.
Whatever you choose, Walmart has your summer fun needs covered.

Traders bank on back office jobs
For years the trading floor was the place to be. From the egg heads to the barrow boys, everybody wanted in. But now traders are being let go with wild abandon, leaving them to seek out jobs in the back office.
Low volumes and declining margins have led to deep cuts on trading desks. Some banks, such as UniCredit and Crédit Agricole, have even outsourced trading desks to other banks.
Liam Bolger, senior consultant at recruitment firm Cameron Kennedy, said: "It is certainly a change in heart because when I started over a decade ago, the back office was not the sexiest place to be. Now the front-office guys are being made redundant and are looking to use the experience they have to diversify.
In the past, the front office was sexy enough for rogue traders such as Kweku Adoboli, Jérôme Kerviel and even Nick Leeson, who all started in the middle or back office and made their way to the trading floor.
Today, headhunters have confirmed that out-of-work traders want to return to the trading floor, but rather in behind-the-scenes roles and not wheeling and dealing with clients. Peter Milne, director for financial services at financial recruiter Robert Walters, said: "There is a desire from certain front-office individuals to move into compliance."
There is certainly a need for compliance roles. Market Abuse Directive, Mifid II, Basel III, Solvency II, Dodd Frank, and AIFMD, are just some of the regulations that banks now have to deal with since 2008.
And even when roles are available in the front office, getting them filled is becoming a Herculean task. One headhunter said: "The method in which people are hiring has also changed. Whereas seven or eight years ago, people might have hired speculatively in terms of people who bring specific skill sets to teams. Now there is a lot of procurement and HR interference in terms of where people want to build their empires within the business. That comes from the financial constraints they are facing – they simply can't afford to bring people into the business."

See how Workstation Pro compares to previous versions – Workstation 10 and 11, the licensed version – Workstation 12 Player and the enterprise version – Horizon FLEX.
VMware Workstation Pro works by creating fully isolated, secure virtual machines that encapsulate an operating system and its applications. The VMware virtualization layer maps the physical hardware resources to the virtual machine's resources, so each virtual machine has its own CPU, memory, disks, and I/O devices, and is the full equivalent of a standard x86 machine. VMware Workstation Pro installs onto the host operating system and provides broad hardware support by inheriting device support from the host.
Any application that will run on a standard PC will run inside a virtual machine on VMware Workstation Pro. VMware Workstation Pro is the equivalent of a full PC, with full networking and devices — each virtual machine has its own CPU, memory, disks, I/O devices, etc. This allows you to run any application that runs on the supported guest operating systems, including Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, Apache Web Server, Microsoft Visual Studio, Kernel debuggers, Firewalls, VPN software and much more.
No. VMware Workstation Pro uses your computer's file system and creates files that map to a virtual machine's disk drives, so there is no need to create a partition for each operating system. If you already have another operating system with dual boot installed on your computer, you can use VMware Workstation Pro to run the other operating system in a virtual machine on your host operating system. Instead of dual booting, you can run both operating systems simultaneously and seamlessly switch from one operating system to another with a click of your mouse.
Once you have installed VMware Workstation Pro, you "configure" a virtual machine by assigning it memory, disk, ports, and networking. You then power on that virtual machine with the operating system installation CD or ISO image. The virtual machine will boot, and the operating system will start its normal install procedure.
VMware Workstation Pro runs on standard x86-based hardware with 64-bit Intel and AMD processors and on 64-bit Windows or Linux host operating systems. VMware recommends 1.2 GB of available disk space for the application. Additional hard disk space required for each virtual machine. Please refer to vendors recommended disk space for specific guest operating systems.
Workstation 12 Pro requires a 64-bit operating system on the host PC. You can still run your favorite 32-bit Windows and Linux guest operating systems inside a virtual machine on Workstation 12 Pro. If you plan to run 64-bit virtual machines with VMware Workstation Pro, please refer to the Knowledge Base article on compatible 64-bit CPUs.
Workstation 10 is the last version that supports either a 32-bit or 64-bit operating systems running on the host PC. However you can purchase Workstation 12 and downgrade to Workstation 10 via the My VMware Portal - please reference knowledge base article "How to downgrade license keys in My VMware"
VMware Workstation 12 Pro supports hundreds of 32-bit and 64-bit guest operating systems from Microsoft DOS through Windows 10, Windows NT Server through Windows Server 2012 R2, Ubuntu 15.04, various other flavors of Linux. See the VMware Compatibility Guide for a complete list of supported host and guest operating systems.

Limit Bandwitdth Used by apt-get
October 22nd, 2012 No comments
It's easy. Simply throw "-o Acquire::http::Dl-Limit=X" in your apt-get command where X is the kb/s you wish to limit it to. So for example let's say that you want to limit an apt-get upgrade command to roughly 50kb/s of bandwidth. Simply issue the following command:
sudo apt-get -o Acquire::http::Dl-Limit=50 upgrade
Simple right?
Previously I was running KDE 4.3.3 on top of Fedora 11 (for the first experiment) and KDE 4.6.5 on top of Gentoo (for the second experiment).

For three Harrisburg High School seniors. This is it.
The culmination of — not just a season — but countless days, hours and years come down to this weekend's IHSA Class 2A State Track & Field finals at Eastern Illinois University.
DJ Duncan, Capel Henshaw and Isaac Ingram all made it out of last week's Sectional in Salem.
Duncan qualified in two events as the Bulldog senior qualified in the 110 high hurdles, taking first place with a time of 14.04 setting a new school record, breaking the 33-year old record held by Duncan's cousin Parry Duncan. The time was a PR for Duncan.
Duncan wasn't done setting school records as he broke the old time in the 300 intermediate hurdles in a time of 37.81. That was also was a PR and broke his own school record. That time alone, would break the state record if he were able to captialize in that event this weekend.
for Duncan, this will be his fourth trip in a row to the state finals. Last season, Duncan got sixth in the 110's and didn't qualify in the 300's. He admits however, that no one is running better - at the right time - than he is.
I'm really anxious, but I'm really excited though. It's a comeback year and I think its my time to prove myself to people that I can do this," Duncan said.
Harrisburg head coach Zac Cox added that he knows deep down it would be a disappointment for Duncan if he did anything less than bring home the gold.
"You look at his times and he's a clear cut favorite in both events," Cox said. "He's a kid that has worked really hard to get to this point and now its a matter of him going up there and taking care of business."
Duncan agrees.
"This year, myself and coach (Chris) Berry have a new drill that we are doing. It's been something that we've been working on all season in regards to my quickness and getting back on the ground in the 110 hurdles and it has really improved my times a lot. I think my form this year is the best its ever been. I'm the fastest and strongest that I've ever been, so everything is falling into place to have a great finish."
Ingram got second in the shot put with a throw of 56-7, setting a new school record and landing him a PR.
Cox eluded to the fact that Ingram has been in the top 5 all year and has had some great throws toward the end of the season. He'll be seeded fourth when he throws in Friday's preliminaries.
Placing in the top five would be great if you ask me," Ingram said. "I want to go up there and win it, that's what I would like to do. I think I can make it to finals in the top five. If I can get a throw of 56-feet or 57-feet I can get second or third, but the competition up there can be very inconsistent, so anything can happen at anytime."
Page 2 of 2 - Henshaw will return to the state stage. The Bulldog senior who helped Harrisburg's to the schools first Class 2A basketball title, will now try to win an individual title as he finished fifth in the high jump, clearing the bar at 6-3, which is also a PR.
"I just want to see if I can jump higher than I did at sectionals," Capel said of his expectations. "I'm not really sure about the places, but I'm looking to just improve. I've been working on my form, trying to straighten out a few things to increase a few inches."
Cox said that Henshaw could be sitting on the outside looking in, however, a PR at 6-4 or even 6-5 could land him on the podium.

Eight Steps to Running Enlightenment - Page 2
Your breath and the life force it embodies is prana. I think of pranayama as using the correct breath for the task at hand.
Depending on your goals, that breath could look very different. If you're running at an easy pace, a different breath will be in order, one that's free, organic and allows you to carry on a conversation with your training partners. If you're running a tempo pace, you'll need a different, more rhythmic breath, and if you're running a quarter-mile race, the right breath to feed that effort will be different still.
Choose a moment in your day to notice how your breath is moving. Is it appropriate for what you are doing?
Ask yourself this question through the day: in traffic, during warm-up, in hard intervals, at dinner, at rest. See where you can relax more.
The skill of listening to your body and drowning out external distractions is especially valuable for pacing your run, and thus for endurance. A useful tool for engaging is to notice the data coming in through your senses, then to soften your awareness. For example, notice the sights around you and then soften your awareness of them, using only as much as you need to maintain what you're doing. If you're running, for example, you'll need to watch your step. Do the same with the sense of hearing, listening for sounds, then listening to sounds closer and closer to your body. Tune out the crowd around you in a race; tune in to the sound of your footfalls. Tune in to your own breath.
As you learn to pay attention to the sensations of intensity brought by your running and asana and meditation practices, you'll be able to explore them and to watch them shift. Comfort with the discomfort of intensity is key to success in running, in yoga and in life.
Over the course of your day and your workout, take time out to consider what is going on inside. Tune out sights and sounds and tune in to the internal experience. What is happening within this moment?
Once you've learned to draw your attention away from the outside world and into interior space, you'll be able to focus all your awareness on one thing. That thing could be a visual point, the focus called a gazing point. You'll find this useful in running when you look at a competitor just in front of you, at the space in front of your feet, at the horizon or at the finish-line banner.
Verbally, a mantra will help you by providing you with a singular item on which to focus. This mantra could be as short as a syllable or as long as a phrase or chain of words. As you internally repeat the mantra, the meaning of the words grows less important and yields to the state of single focus created through the repetition.
Choose a word on this page and give it your sole focus for the next 10 breaths. Next time you are in line at the grocery store, choose an item and give it your full attention for 10 breaths. On each run, choose a mantra to focus on for 10 or more breaths at a time.
Once you have developed the capacity to concentrate on one thing, you'll be able to hold your consciousness on many things at once. This meditative state is called flow. When a skilled practitioner is working at a difficult task, he can slip into the sense of flow, where perception of time and space shifts and performance of the task reaches a level of ease disproportionate to its challenge.
You probably know this state as a runner. It's what keeps us involved in the sport year to year: those runs and races where everything clicks and even stretch goal paces are manageable or, better yet, easy to achieve. Regular practice of the preceding limbs of yoga will help you reach this state: Avoid actions that cause suffering, commit to actions that increase happiness, be stable and easy in your physical pursuits, use the right breath for the moment, keep your attention on the internal experience and practice singular focus. When you're good at these, you'll be able to find the flow state more and more often
Achieving flow is less about making it happen and more about creating the situation where it can arise. When you find yourself in the flow state, don't over think things. Appreciate the moment without attachment—the more you cling to the experience, the more fleeting it becomes.
The goal of the practices of the first seven steps is blissful connection. When we are in this state, we rest in our true nature, and the perceived barriers that separate us from each other and from the universal energy that permeates everything fall away. If you're lucky, you've had tastes of this bliss in your running. Bliss can be easier to come by during periods of physical exertion like trail running, especially in picturesque natural settings with sympathetic training partners or new friends. The more we can access it in controlled settings, the more we can remember and find it again under duress in less glorious circumstances such as a long race.
Just as joining your mental and physical selfs is the ultimate goal of yoga, it is also the goal of running: to be able to stay present and witness the inherent beauty in our interconnectedness, to learn the truth about who and what we are. Even with, or especially because of, the demands we put on our physical bodies, we recognize there is something more to us than mere flesh and bones.

The United States' ability to shape international economic policy during the mid-1970s, a time of multiple global economic crises, perceived American weakness, and great Congressional scrutiny, is the principal theme of the recent Foreign Relations of the United States volume on Foreign Economic Policy, 1973-1976. Policymakers in the Nixon and Ford administrations recognized that economic policy was an important element of diplomacy. Since the founding of the republic, U.S. foreign policy has often reflected the nation's trade, commercial, and economic interests. Yet, as the unraveling of the post-war economic order by the 1970s indicated, the United States had to think differently about the intersections of foreign and economic policy when changed circumstances disrupted existing relationships with partners and competitors alike. The challenges posed by the emergence of a multi-polar world for the United States and its foreign policies provided a wide umbrella for the proceedings of the recent Office of the Historian conference, "Foreign Economic Policy, 1973-1976," co-hosted by George Mason University School of Public Policy.
The inaugural session of the Foreign Relations of the United States (FRUS) Special Conference Series, the scope of the conference's roundtable remarks and the keynote address given by Under Secretary of State for Economic, Energy, and Agricultural Affairs Robert Hormats demonstrate how a "niche" topic, such as foreign economic policy, can shed light on a diverse range of subjects.
The "Foreign Economic Policy, 1973-1976" conference touched on several storylines. One narrative arc focused on how increased globalization forced the United States' economy--and those of other industrialized countries--to become more interdependent. Another theme was the evolving role of the U.S. dollar as the fixed exchange rate system envisioned at the 1944 Bretton Woods conference ended and a new system of flexible exchange rates began. As Under Secretary Hormats noted, technical economic and financial issues often became entangled with broader questions of national prestige.
Yet, the Foreign Economic Policy, 1973-1976 volume, as conference participants pointed out, speaks to more than just economic policy. The passage of the Trade Act of 1974 and the issue of the Jackson-Vanick Amendment, which tied human rights to U.S. trade policy, illustrated the tensions inherent between the roles played by Congress and the Executive Branch in crafting foreign economic policy. Conference participants noted how documents from Foreign Economic Policy, 1973-1976 demonstrate how the Nixon and Ford administrations worked with Congress in an era of heightened legislative scrutiny.
Panelists also addressed other important subjects as they discussed Foreign Economic Policy, 1973-1976. For example, documents in the volume shed light on the United States' perspective on European integration and whether Nixon administration officials felt that a unified Europe would serve U.S. policy objectives. In addition to gleaning greater insight into the dynamics of U.S.-European relations, Foreign Economic Policy, 1973-1976 documents and the conference's roundtable remarks provide a richer understanding of the U.S.-French relationship. The interactions between the Ford administration and their French counterparts in creating the G-7 and responding to other economic crises are instructive on many levels, and indicate the importance of creatively developing new solutions to pressing problems.
In listening to the audio files or reading the transcripts from these discussions, one gains a greater sense of the difficult obstacles and questions that faced U.S. policymakers as they grappled with the intersection of foreign economic policy and foreign policy during the 1970s. As noted by conference participants, learning more about foreign economic policy during the uncertain 1973-1976 period is also useful in addressing the challenges of the present.
The proceedings of this conference are available online through the Office of the Historian's website, http://history.state.gov/conferences/2011-foreign-economic-policy/audio-transcripts.

In this overview, they should have mentioned that the so called "gold standard" of backing up the financial market with gold (treasury) was eliminated. This has been a topic of importants even today whether the U.S. should go back to the gold standard or not. In my opinion, our market became to large and thus was hampered by this standard. Also this standard would not have helped our economic situation due to the U.S. going through stagflation during this period. Does anyone agree or disagree with me? Also Keynes argument concerning monetary policy was being strongly disputed around this time.

Part 1 of 3
I agree with you Jim. I studied on my own, economics and accounting over 20 years ago. It left me with an understanding of the financial markets that few people seem to get.What is happening today is a natural byproduct of the financial system. In short the markets are behaving exactly how they were designed to operate.As for the gold standard – I completely agree with you – it will not work – But there is another way.
I have been thinking on this problem for years. Like most people I approached the problem in the wrong manner -The trouble is – most people lack an understanding of finance (even politicians) who to talk to?
I know there is a way forward, I know I way that would help not only America but every nation on earth. Sorry for the cut and paste (from previous digital scratches – I am happy to share Ideas)
First our current system in brief (again it is difficult to write something when the audience has a varied understanding of our financial system – any question post and I will try to answer)
Economic issues are of great importance these days. What worked yesterday for us, it seems clear in our future will fail us. To understand the situation we are in today (finances) I would suggest we revisit some very, very basic principles that seem to me at least ignored. It's all about the money, the cash. This is how it has always been. This is where it starts with our cash, our money. If we fail to a) identify it and b) provide real solutions – our society will crumble, war unavoidable.
Most people use money every day, they don't think beyond need or want of the stuff – truly shocking.
This is not rocket science; you need no economics degree to understand it. You may know it, but I bet you don't understand it. Most don't. Let's start with following the life of a $ bill. Central bank – national banks – business – consumer. OK first stop central bank, are we talking about a magic well of cash, a secret river of money – Heck no, we are talking about giant printing presses. We as people make the stuff. Now if you're in the business of making money (no pun intended) you need to push, sell or move your product. Why? To make more money that's why. It's what it's all about. If my product is money who is my buyer? The national banks are the buyers.
Let stop here for a moment and look at the transaction between the central bank and the national banks. The central bank charges interest on the creation of that $ bill, a charge to the national banks for the printing of money. You know that interest rate you here about on the news that you will never see for your own loans.
Now the national banks are in business for what? That's right to make money. Now it's obvious that if the national banks must agree to pay the central bank money (what they barrowed + plus interest). It is clear that the national banks in order to earn more money must charge their customers more money right? 1st major problem is here and I hope you see it for yourself, don't worry if you don't .for some strange reason when it comes to cash people's brains stops working. Let me put it to you this way. You're an army general. You need ammo. The only place that you the general can get his ammo from is me (central banks). I say, general I will generously give you 1000 rounds of ammo and I ask that you return to me 1200 rounds of ammo. Deal? If the general was wise he would go carve himself a spear. Why? If the only place I can get ammo from wants me to return more ammo than I take (plus what I take) then how do I do this? You become permanently indebted. Debt is the only way. The only way to pay me back would be to come borrow more and more and more. Stop debt, you stop cash creation – your country fails. Now, we live in a big world with many central banks and many national banks. This very large network globally operates on this principle. This allows us to trade with each other. With what? More cash. Because of the enormous size of this network the 1st major problem is in a way hidden, and in a way not. Let me explain and if you could entertain for a moment the notion that ALL debt belongs in 1 giant bubble (personal, corporate, national debt). If you're in debt it is only natural to want to be out of debt, right. Going back to the general and the ammo problem, he may not think that he has a problem. He may be thinking that if he could invade a country XYZ. Country XYZ has ammo. If the general is successful he may be right and could pay back his debt to me if the general is wrong – more debt, either way I win. If the general is successful in his campaign against country XYZ . XYZ would be left with a greater debt load and greater instability. We then pay for this in aid and other such business. Your taxes rise. One way or another we constantly pay – every year losing purchasing power – every year closer to economic death. Every year governments have less and less money to operate.

Who cares you say. Well forget about ammo and generals and now think of trade and business (economic war) If a country is not collecting cash by conducting foreign trade, that country will spiral into debt. Why do you think china appears more powerful at the moment?
The reality is if you don't take money from foreign money systems by whatever means - it is impossible to pay down the debt of a nation.
US/China is a perfect example. The reality is that every nation, at least economically is at war with every other nation, even allies. If America trades USA made material with china, Canada, Brazil – the USA could then reduce its debt, as long as the trade is large enough to counter the creation of cash + interest compounded, trade deficits.
What then happens in Canada, china and Brazil – these countries effectively take the debt bubble that the USA once had by way of trade. Around and around it goes with a giant debt bubble at its core, growing and growing. Debt never truly goes away.
When a business or municipality or an average person takes debt upon themselves; what happens very simply is that a chunk of that giant debt bubble becomes a personal responsibility. You can pay it off and be free from personal responsibility but the debt actually gets shunted somewhere else. You will end up paying higher taxes to cover the cost of the debt that you thought you paid off on that car loan, student loan, credit card or whatever debt. One way or another everyone is paying for debt directly or indirectly that can NEVER be paid. Responsibility is shifted back and forth that's all. If you cut ALL spending and tax everyone 100% you cannot eliminate this debt. Nations that ignore the reality of their people's lives in order to chase debt down the rabbit hole – Are fools IMHO.
The 2nd major problem with our financial system rests in the national banking sector and I'm going to get to the point quick on this one. The national banking systems globally operate at its core like this –
a national bank can borrow 1 million dollars from the central bank at 1% interest rate (interest is variable around the world, just keeping it simple) Because of the beauty of the system they operate the national banks require a very small reserve of cash to carry significant amount of both debt and the assets you think you own or owe. Globally the cash reserves of banks range in requirements but can be as little as 4%. For now I will be gracious and assume my bank is required to maintain a 10% cash reserve to debt or assets. Let's look at this way.
You deposit with the bank a million dollars and have a home mortgaged with the same bank; the home is worth a million also. That bank requires only a 10% cash reserve about 200K assuming the requirement of 10% to back what you think is 2 million is observed. Catching on?
Try this one on for a moment – you're the bank. You borrow 1 million from the central bank and now again assuming the 10% requirement, you the bank can now generate 10 million in new credit (debt) and charge interest ( you can insert your mortgage, credit debt interest you pay here)
So the bank pay little for a million and turn it, if by magic into 10 million, charging massively inflated interest on money that does not exist. You might say hay if I have 100 bucks in the bank, I could use my debit card, the system works. I'm not talking about what people in a society agree on collectively to conduct their trade. I am talking about the fact that physical cash does not exist to cover your assets or your debts.
Cash is the oil and there is not enough. If the USA could shrug off debt, who wants it? Any takers for a few trillion in debt. The fact is this debt has to be moved somewhere. Let's look at holders of US debt, say china – sitting pretty on mountains of greenbacks clearly illustrated buy the debt load of the USA. Or are they sitting pretty? Not likely, you see Chinas greenbacks created by US debt consumption are worth nothing if America was to say collapse. China and the USA are locked into something I think neither truly understands. Throw in all the little fish in the world all doing the same thing- we got problems. A game that even when you win you loses.

So it's like a balancing act that eventually collapses. Seriously do people believe you can create imaginary currency, charge massive amounts of compound interest on non existing money, while expecting cash to be paid in return? Put it this way if tomorrow we woke up and with the cash supply today (all of it) tried to pay are debts we could not.
What you think your worth; you're not. The markets are doing what they are designed to do. Screw the debt ceiling – If you fail to lift the debt ceiling then you are essentially stopping the creation of money and your problems are compounded. At the end of the day you can't pay down the debt under the current structure. So why play a game we all lose – even the banks.
Imagine if YOU could take 100 bucks and by magic turn it into a grand. Would you be in debt? Would you ever go bankrupt? The banks collapsed. What hope do you have at paying your debts when the banks your indebted to a) can't make it work themselves. B) Your ability to pay down your debts depends on the creation of cash, and that is up to ultimately to the banks again.
If the debt ceiling is not raised, America is screwed. Forget talking of business and the consumer aspects of our financial system (things become direr), no point until we get to grips with what we have at the national bank – central bank level.
Tighten your debt belts all that you want; it will do nothing but destroy America.
Good times, bad times, bubble or bust – debt accumulates. Why?
It is time for a far more robust, balanced, complex system that works.77
Now for options that will kick the globe into gear beginning with America.
America must connect with its founding values. FREEDOM
This talk of cutting for debt is pointless. Maybe a silver bullet won't do the trick. But better ways exist. How about 3 bullets?
Better ways exist without cutting anything while at the same time destroying debt, increasing profit (even for the banks) and quality of life for ALL Americans and beyond. The secret is in honoring freedom.
Take everything that makes a society a society –I mean everything – Now imagine if you will all of it jammed on 1 single highway- government, industry, finance, health, education, military, taxes, – all of it.
This is what we have now. An overcrowded highway in every way. The answer is not to cut anything. Create! Create! Create!
Create more highways (don't clone the first). Remove selective elements from the first highway onto different highways so to speak. A type of synergy can be obtained with each highway working in tandem with the others driving unlimited growth without poverty.
I am vaguely describing a 3 pronged system (beautifully complex and adaptive and different for every nation in application).
Perpetual motion may elude scientist but the various structures we create for society to operate are by and large not subject to the same physical laws.
Look at it this way – governments worldwide say the recession is over, you're just not feeling it yet. What a bunch of BS – when it's over you won't feel it. Technically in math terms it's over, maybe. The reality it isn't.
Every nation on earth runs on this "single highway model†in the 50s it worked – now it does not and will not work moving into the future.
You won't find a play book on this, you get to write it – can't get any bigger than that.
The president wants you the people to go big – demand the pathways so you can.
Bucket loads of opportunity exist - seize it.
It is much easier – face to face using manipulative – most people can understand and conceptualize better this way. Face to face it would take me potentially hours based on the listeners understanding – On a blog – I haven't bothered trying until today.

Swiss-based Bank Sarasin has developed a new country bond rating that could shift the way investors think about sovereign bonds – and the way governments think about their own ecological balance sheets. The evaluation is based upon a simple, but somewhat novel premise: given current ecological trends, a country's use and availability of resources will play an important role in its ability to make good on future debt obligations.
Sarasin has developed a Sustainability Matrix for Countries, which evaluates countries based on the factors of resource efficiency and resource availability. Sovereign bonds of countries that meet a certain threshold for sustainability – including Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Costa Rica, Chile, Brazil and Australia – are good candidates for investment. Meanwhile, those that do not meet these criteria, such as the U.S., China, Russia, most countries of Southern Europe and most oil-rich countries of the Middle East, cannot be included in Sarasin sustainability portfolios, no matter how good their performance on other indicators.
"With ecological scarcity increasing every day, there is a risk to countries that waste resources as well as to countries that don't have a lot of resources," said Bank Sarasin sustainability analyst Balazs Magyar. "By providing this assessment, we can increase the bonds' performance, or at least decrease the risk."
The matrix was released just weeks before a downgrade in Greece's bond ratings sent the country reeling into economic chaos. Sarasin's sustainability ratings had also given Greece poor marks, due to the fact that, in the last several decades, Greece has developed a widening ecological debt. Greece's per person Ecological Footprint has grown fivefold since 1960. At the same time, its biocapacity has remained effectively constant.
"As is abundantly clear from climate change, biodiversity loss, and the myriad other environmental crises we are facing today, we are now in an ever-more ecologically-constrained world," said Global Footprint Network President Mathis Wackernagel. "Resource-scarcity is emerging as a growing risk factor to countries' abilities not only to meet their debt obligations, but to secure quality of life for their citizens."

Sweden tops systematic country rating
Adequate resources must be available for a national economy to grow, but in global terms a steady level of sustainable development can only be maintained in the long term by improving resource-efficiency. Two groups of countries perform well according to Bank Sarasin's Sustainability Matrix: those rich in resources such as Australia and Brazil, and those that use resources in a very efficient way. The latter group includes countries such as Japan, the Netherlands, Germany and also Switzerland. Sweden actually does well by both measures.
Latin America is high in resource availability, but currently lags in efficiency. Yet the region could have tremendous opportunity if it improved its resource efficiency. At the same time, Japan, Germany and the Netherlands are very efficient, but don't have significant availability. "Their level of efficiency shows that they could manage future challenges, but for current time, they are over-consuming their resources," Magyar said.
U.S., Gulf States rate poorly
The U.S. misses the benchmark because, in spite of its sound resource availability, it provides the same quality of life as other industrialized countries on significantly more resources. "The U.S. has a lot of biocapacity but, because of its high rate of resource demand, its Ecological Footprint actually exceeds biocapacity by almost 50 percent," said Dr. Wackernagel. "When demand is way out of sync with biocapacity, you are in a risky situation. Eventually, it will catch up to you."
UAE, Cyprus and Qatar rate as the least efficient countries in their income group. As desert countries, they have almost no ecological capacity and, at the same time, they have very inefficient use of resources. "Once the oil runs out, the party might be over," said Magyar. On the other hand, he said, the region might have a very promising future in emerging solar technology. "No rain, means no clouds, which means a possibility of getting power from the sun."

Some Inuit feel they are losing control of a homeland whose ice-covered expanses had long acted as a barrier to the outside world.creatures that have long been at the heart of Inuit subsistence culture — whales, seals, polar bears, and fish. And the transformation to a largely ice-free Arctic Ocean in summer — Arctic sea ice extent last month hit a stunning new low of 1.3 million square miles, a 50 percent decline from the 1979 to 2000 average — also has meant a new and at times threatening influx of human outsiders to the region.

Fireworks part of New Ulm budget
NEW ULM – The City of New Ulm will be funding fireworks in 2014, thanks to changes approved in the city's preliminary budget next year.
At its first Truth in Taxation budget hearing Tuesday night, the City Council approved the idea of allocating $15,000 for a fireworks display at a September festival, similar to the one held last September near the Hermann Monument.
Councilor Les Schultz, who has been talking with organizers of the festival on the Hermann Monument Committee, said the organizers tell him that if they can make this an annual event, within five years they may be able to pay for the fireworks show with the revenues from food vendors and other sources.
The fireworks were part of a reallocation of about $87,050 originally budgeted for health insurance increases in September. The city, not knowing what the final increase would be, budgeted for a 30 percent increase. Instead, the increase came in at 27 percent, freeing up the $87,000 for other uses. Using the $87,050 to reduce the tax levy to about 1.5 percent instead of the 3 percent increase budgeted, according to City Manager Brian Gramentz.
But reallocating it would allow the city to fund other needs without increasing the levy over what was approved in the city's preliminary budget in September.
Councilors agreed that $12,500 should be used to recodify the city's code book and ordinances. This process involves reprinting the city's code book and ordinances to reflect all the changes made since the last recodification 10 years ago, making it a current document.
City staff also recommended dedicating $15,000 to the festivals account for the fireworks, and using the remaining $59,550 to reduce the city's use of bonding for street repairs done by the Street Department.
Gramentz recommended increasing the city's allocation to the New Ulm Economic Development Commission by $4,785, which would bring the city's total allocation to $50,000, the maximum allowable by the state. Gramentz said that this move would eliminate the discussions and lobbying from the EDC for funding every year.
Schultz then mentioned dedicating $10,000 to the New Ulm Retail Development Corporation as well, which had been cut back in previous years. The $10,000 would be taken from the street repair allocation. Schultz said this position is intended to bring more businesses to the community, but the person in the position has to spend time on raising funds for the program instead of development work.
"If we're talking about restoring funding, then we should also consider restoring funding for other groups like the New Ulm Battery and the Municipal Band which were cut when money was tight," said Councilor Ruth Ann Webster.
After a discussion of what groups had been cut, the council agreed on restoring the Concord Singers' allocation to $5,000, bringing the Municipal Band back to $15,000 from $11,000, and bringing the Battery's funding to $17,000.
Gramentz figured it would take about $20,450 to restore these groups to their pre-cut levels and increase the Retail Development Allocation to $42,000. This would leave $39,000 or so for reducing street repair bonding.
The changes discussed would not raise the budget's expenditure and revenue totals of $21,122,790.
The council will hold another budget hearing Tuesday, Dec. 10, at 6 p.m. to follow up on the changes approved at Tuesday's hearing and consider the final budget.
