A new example today of the consensus that has formed on confronting China's trade practices: At the America's Fiscal Choices conference today economists Paul Krugman, Martin Feldstein and Jan Hatzius all agreed on the need for the dollar to fall.
Last week, in Consensus Grows: Confront China On Trade, I wrote.
Now that the beneficiaries of the "free trade' bamboozlement are off to their private islands in their private jets or private yachts the rest of us are looking around at the devastation of our economy and standard of living, wondering what to do and finally becoming aware that rigid ideologies and their enforcers have kept us from looking for practical solutions that actually work for all of us as a country and community.
China's currency scheme is just one part of their mercantilist trade manipulation. By keeping their currency undervalued they are able to bring goods to the world market with a huge price advantage. But they do a number of other things as well. Here are a few more of the main unfair advantages China uses to its advantage:
1) Currency manipulation. China "pegs" its currency at a very low, or "weak" rate, so goods from China cost up to 40% less than they otherwise should.
2) Labor-rights suppression has lowered manufacturing wages of Chinese workers by 47% to 86%.
3) There is massive direct government subsidization of export production in many key industries.
4) China allows environmental degradation that ends up affecting all of us.
5) Intellectual property theft and piracy mean that American products that could be sold are stolen instead.
6) China has a number of policies that block U.S. firms from market access.
Meanwhile, Europe calls on China to let currency appreciate,
European leaders on Tuesday urged China to let its currency rise and narrow a trade deficit that has strained relations, while promising Asian countries in return more power in global financial institutions.
China did not, however, commit to new currency action at a summit that highlighted how the global financial crisis had shifted the economic balance of power eastward.

The 49ers are bringing back offensive lineman Adam Snyder, signing him to a two-year contract Monday.
Snyder signed a five-year, $17 million deal with a $5 million signing bonus with Arizona as a free agent last season. The Cardinals cut Snyder last week after using a first-round pick on guard Jonathan Cooper.
Snyder, 31, started 14 games for Arizona, despite early-season elbow injury.
The versatile lineman will vie for a reserve role at any spot on the 49ers line. Alex Boone replaced Snyder last season at right guard while the 49ers started the same five lineman every game in their run to the Super Bowl.
Snyder tweeted: "Thank you all for the support. So excited to have the opportunity to finish what I started long ago!!"

Triptych is a fast-paced physics based block dropping game that will keep you coming back for more. Maneuver and rotate blocks as they fall so that 3 or more of a color are adjacent to each other. By achieving this, the blocks will be destroyed and the player will collect points. As blocks are destroyed, connected blocks are freed to move independently and blocks above will fall to fill the empty spaces. Unlike other puzzle games, the game board is a living entity where the blocks obey the laws of physics. Every game is a unique experience!
If you are a fan of fun, dynamic and re-playable games then you owe it to your self to try Triptych, the game-play goes far beyond the average puzzle game

A winner was selected from 17 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
I am looking for a Cartoon\Comic Strip to help sell my data backup service. One thought I had was a kid showing up at school with a stick figure where he was supposed to have a baby or family picture stating that his dad didn't backup the photos.
I would also like some ideas to sell this service to businesses as well so some corporate looking things could work..

One of the things we're grateful for at H&Co are the designers who treat our typefaces with such extraordinary care. These days, some of the most exciting work that we get to see is on Dribbble, where designers of the highest caliber share their works-in-progress with the world. This weekend, I gathered some of my favorite fragments that designers have created using our typefaces: here are three new Dribbble collections using The Proteus Project, Sentinel and Shades.
It's fascinating to watch the creative processes unfold, and heartening to see our typefaces along for the ride. (It's also a welcome surprise to discover that the polished work you're admiring comes from the hand of a second-year student, an experience that's more common than you might imagine.) So herein you'll find some of our favorite picks: from Roger Dario's guilloché treatment of Saracen, to Trent Walton's use of Sentinel for charity:water (itself a rebound of an earlier version in Vitesse), to Andrew Power's rendering of one of my favorite Steve Jobs quotes using our Cyclone typeface.
We'll be updating these collections and creating new ones in the coming weeks, so if you're posting to Dribbble, make sure to tag your own work with the names of any of our fonts that you use. Until then, thank you from all of us at H&Co for making our work a part of yours. We'll be thinking of you this Thanksgiving. —JH

Dumbazz Of The Week: Pittsburgh Thug Robs A Girl For $60.. Then Calls Her Up To See If She Wanted To Go Out!
"Police say it's one of the strangest robberies they've investigated. Jardini allegedly took $60 from a girl he confronted on Brownsville Road and Nobles Lane. She had just gotten off a bus and was waiting for her mother. After the robbery, John Jardini called the woman on his cell phone twice, asking her if she had a boyfriend and if she wanted to go out with him. Police got a search warrant for Jardini's phone records and were on the verge of tracking him down, but then Jardini reportedly assaulted the same girl and her mother outside Zack's Market on Brownville Road. He was arrested on the spot and positively identified as the guy who earlier robbed the girl."

...Have you gone through and actually read this thread?RunsWithLegos wrote:wait, do the scorps only stay in the air? or are they ground troops as well? if so then i am mistaken, but i stay with it cause variety is the spice of death.
Eh, might as well do another Overwatch anyways:
The Pseudo-Arachnid Empire was one of the first interstellar civilizations the Tairin Federation made contacted with.
In the begining the Arachnids tried to establish friendly relations with the Federation, but negotiations broke down quickly when the Tairin ambassador began insulting the Empress herself, calling her things like "a disgusting fat-ass".
Enraged at this slight against their great queen's gloriously engorged thorax, the Bugs now wage ceaseless war against Federal feces and their "Bitchy" leaders.
The Worker
Coupling the versatile adaptability of the upper humanoid torso with the rugged dependability of a more arthropodic frame, the intelligent Worker is well suited for a variety of task, including building and interacting with minifigs.
Unfortunately, their civilization's lack of non-biologically based teknology leaves them mostly unequipped for a fight, needing to scavenge weapons from fallen enemies.
Most similar to the "Queen" caste, a Workers pride herself on the resemblance and is the only other Bug to possess a mutagenic bite that will turn the victim into another Worker.
(Basically, I'm thinking that it'd work like the poison rules where once a minifig succumb to it, they go into a "cocoon stage" before eventually being replaced by a Worker with all their equipment and sharing their skill dice.)
The Blast Scorpion
Originally engineered for tunneling and demolition work, the Arachnid Empire has found that the powerful, shotgun-like blast of bio-plasma a Blast Scorpion fires from the end of its tail makes an excellent weapon.
The Hunter
The forager caste, sent out to locate sources of food or hunt down more elusive prey.
It'd normally have a stinger filled with paralytic venom to compliment its scimitar-like jaws, but the War with the Tairins has resulted in a variation with the ability to fire Bio-plasma bolts.
The Warrior
The noble and fearless protectors of the Hive.
When compared to the weak pathetic "soldiers" of Minifig armies, the Bug Warrior is a terrifying engine of slaughter.
While former Warriors were developed with scything blades on their forelimbs, current generations have been altered so that they'll grow a faster firing, longer range variation of the bio-plasma organ found on the Blast Scorpion's tail instead.
They also have an extra eye on each to help aim these weapons.

Burt's Bees has called on singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen to be the official face of its GĂĽd line of sustainable body- and hair-care products —no ifs, buts, or maybes about it. With her high-energy, "flower-child pop" sound, the "Call Me Maybe" singer-songwriter is the embodiment of GĂĽd, according to the company, whose youth-focused line includes fragrances and formulas withe names like "Orange Petalooza" and "Pearanormal Activity." As the brand's first spokesperson, Jepsen will appear in a multimedia marketing campaign debuting this spring, including the May issues of fashion, beauty, and lifestyle publications such as Glamour, Allure, and Cosmopolitan.

"Being eco-conscious is so important. I love that gud has figured out a way to reach young women with natural products that are also fun and smell amazing," Jepsen says in a statement. "I also really connect with the positive spirit of the brand—it's how I live my life every day."
Like Burt's Bees, GĂĽd doesn't use parabens, phthalates, or petrochemicals.
Like Burt's Bees, GĂĽd doesn't use parabens, phthalates, or petrochemicals.
Burt's Bees launched GĂĽd in 2012. Now 36 products strong, and spanning five "scent experiences," the brand is marketed at twenty-somethings as a "fresh and fragrant approach to natural beauty created for the millennial woman." Like Burt's Bees, GĂĽd doesn't use parabens, phthalates, or petrochemicals. Its products are also never tested on animals. Another plus? It uses packaging that contains at least 25 percent post-consumer recycled content.
"We're delighted to work with a rising star of such magnitude," Nick Vlahos, vice president and general manager of Burt's Bees, says. "Carly's vibrant spirit and genuine talent are inspirational to the GĂĽd consumer. She models a way of life reflective of GĂĽd's cheerful personality and real substance."

iGIPF — An iOS Game in 2 Weeks
Apr 18, 2012—
Day 1.
We all remember those "How to learn C++ in 21 days" books.
Many people are probably skeptical about this idea, but (as we've already been into the future) there is no reason to doubt it? Before we delve into the specifics of our programming venture, here is a brief introduction to our team. We are a couple of programmers with no claim (oh, really?) to fame like Angry Birds and, moreover, with very little experience in iOS or GameDev in general. Roughly speaking, for us, this project is being undertaken as both a challenge to ourselves and, ultimately, for the pure fun and experience even if little can be achieved (oh, really?) in the end.
Now that you know at least a little more about us than Google can tell you, let's talk about the rules for this endeavor. "Two weeks are enough for every project" was a statement made by one of us (let's call him Bill…No, Bond is better) in a Skype call late one night. "Okay, but maybe…" was the reply that was abruptly cut off by "No buts or maybes." Well, OK, if you say so! Of course, we could spend these weeks investing time in our families, working, taking care of the fate of humanity, or any number of other noble pursuits. Yeah, right! If you'll buy that, I have a bridge to sell you. If we weren't doing this project, the honest truth is that we'd be playing Starcraft, wasting time on Facebook, or just drinking beer.
Anyway, back to the rules, which have been set:
Two weeks of deeply intensive development is enough if you think about it. After all, 2 * 7 * 24 = 336 hours, which translates, via the following sophisticated math (336/8 *7/5 = 58.8), into nearly 59 calendar days or 2 whole months! Clearly the math justifies the time limit (looks like there might be a trick somewhere… But millions of managers can be wrong!). And, quite seriously (this is a serious post; honestly), our programming practices prove that the best way to raise the priority of any given task is to decrease the time limits for completing it. So, exactly two weeks ("exactly" means two weeks plus an extra two weeks depending on the situation). Rule 1 is complete!
Work on other rules later.
What to Write
OK, now that the time limit is set, we must decide what we should write. After an objective evaluation of our capabilities (who are we trying to fool?), we decide not to write a 4D-shooter with RPG (or BDSM) elements and multiplayer capabilities for 20,000,000 simultaneous players. However, after some discussion, we do think that having a simpler multiplayer option our game is a grand idea.GIPF, as there is nothing in the AppStore (and not planned, as we see). We decided to change the rules of the original game a little bit to make it even simpler to play, to ensure that it is not an exact copy of the original game, and to make it even more fun. In short, it will be a logical game with rules a bit more complicated than Tic-tac-toe and with a bit less need for strategy than chess. This seems like a good way for roughly 67 to 68% of Americans to spend their time. This number of users is calculated using extremely strict formulas with basic expectations about the number of sales of the application, at the price of $149, that are needed in order for us to purchase an island in the Mediterranean Sea on which to live and carry on about our programming. These numbers can be slightly reduced (~1,000 fold) in case we decide that money is not the main goal of our lives.
Our plans for the day:
- High-level architectural design of the application
- List of tasks and time limits
- Make decisions about the supported platforms and iOS version
We'll talk about this in next post.

text: Market Strategy: Soybeans Come Full Circle January 10, 2012 09:06 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jerry Gulke Top Producer Market Strategy Columnist Email In my September column, I voiced my concerns about China, the 800-lb. gorilla, and its ability to sustain its recent economic growth and year-over-year record soybean imports. Already, there appear to be warning signs that all might not be well in China. A slowdown in demand could derail the idea that its unparalleled growth spurt has no bounds. China imports nearly 60% of all the exportable soybeans in the world. When it comes to corn, the country is nearly self-sufficient, producing 191 million metric tons (mmt) this year, up from 152.3 mmt in 2007/08. It stands to reason that soybeans would be far more affected compared with corn on any hard landing of the Chinese economy. In the past decade, China's growth rate has ranged from 8.3% to 14.25%, primarily due to infrastructure spending, which might not be sustainable. A 4% to 6% growth rate would be welcomed in the U.S. and Europe, but that might not bode well for China and its demand for commodities, soybeans in particular, at a time when global supply has been given an economic incentive to expand. We have been led to believe that a reduction in calorie intake can't happen, even after a decade of increases. Soybean imports by China so far this marketing year are estimated to be 2 mmt less than last year, the first year-to-year decrease in seven years. U.S. exports to all other countries are 11 mmt behind last year, thanks in part to a near similar increase in global stocks on Sept. 1 versus last year. Soybean prices held high for approximately a year (see chart), putting stress on demand while providing a production incentive. The nearly $3.75 drop in prices from Sept. 1 to this past month justifies previous concerns. Technical Speak. After trading in a $2 range for nearly nine months, soybeans failed to break out to the upside in the first week of September, in part aided by a top being posted in the Brazilian real, making the U.S. uncompetitive and taking U.S. soybeans on a downward spiral that might not be done yet. Notice in the chart that soybeans lost a full year's price appreciation, going all the way back to filling the weekly gap at $11.35 in early October 2010, which started the bull run in soybeans. A close below that point would suggest the South American crop is in the bag and increases in U.S. soybean acres will not be necessary. Should global economics make U.S. currency more palatable or deleveraging continues, there would be more price pressure on soybeans, giving us a dose of reality similar to 2008. While prices already reflect a lot of negative uncertainty, price deflation isn't over by a long shot—which means producers need to be diligent and flexible. The weather in North and South America is still a wild card. However, the expected 7-million-acre increase in planted acres of all crops in the U.S. and perhaps 10 million or more acres in Canada means trend-line yields might not be necessary. While 2011 inventory should have been gone long ago, there is still price risk in 2012 crop.

The Middlesex High varsity softball team got in the win column with a 29-0 Tidewater District victory at King and Queen on Tuesday. Middlesex is 1-1 in district play and 1-8 overall. King and Queen is 3-6 overall.
For the Lady Chargers, Avis Keeling had 3 singles; Andrea Alverado, 2 singles; Quinlan Moore, home run, double single; Tambria Wake, double, 2 singles; Alexis Jackson, 2 doubles, single; Kaitlyn Weber, double, 3 singles; Amanda White, double, single; Ashley Walton and Beth Eanes, a single apiece; Shelby Lewter, double; and Abigail Foster, double, 2 singles.
Lady Charger pitcher Kaitlyn Weber gave up one hit and struck out 5.
King William's Kayla Huffman hurled a no-hitter and fanned 13 Lady Chargers en route to a 14-0 Tidewater District win on April 18. King William is undefeated with the exception of one non-league tournament loss.
Lady Charger Quinlan Moore made a diving catch in center field that stopped a King William rally in the third inning.
Middlesex lost 17-6 at Windsor on April 16. Defensive errors paved the way for many unearned runs by Windsor.
Middlesex fought back scoring a total of 6 runs in the fourth and fifth innings.
At the plate for Middlesex, Tambria Wake and Alexis Jackson singled twice; Shelby Lewter knocked a triple over the left fielder's head that drove in 2 runs; and Quinlan Moore singled.
"We need to work hard and stay focused for the upcoming district games," said MHS coach Wade Traynham. Middlesex has five district games left this season. On Friday, April 26, at 7 p.m. they will visit Mathews. On Tuesday, April 30, at 5 p.m., Middlesex will host West Point.
Mathews will visit Middlesex on Friday, May 3, at 7 p.m.

The draw for the EuroBasket 2005 Additional Qualifying Tournament was conducted today in Izmir, Turkey by FIBA Europe Secretary General Nar Zanolin and Sports Director Kosta Iliev.
Czech Republic, Israel and Hungary will all battle for the final EuroBasket spot on offer in the round robin tournament which will take place on 11-13 September in Novi Sad, Serbia & Montenegro.
Schedule Additional Qualifying Tournament:
11.9., 20:00h: Hungary vs Czech Republic
12.9., 20:00h: Czech Republic vs Israel
13.9., 20:00h: Israel vs Hungary
Israel will be the slight favourites to claim victory in the tournament.
The side features the core of players from EuroBasket 2003 which stunned Slovenia in the elimination round to qualify for the last eight.
The team went through a difficult summer period when head coach David Blatt was forced to step down as he had not completed his coaching certificate.
Zvi Sherf stepped into the breach for his country and led the side to a 4-0 record in the additional qualifying round.
Czech Republic also recorded a 100% record in their group against Estonia and Poland.
The side has a full complement of players for the first time since 1999, with stars Jiri Welsch and Lubos Barton back in the side after a period of rest from national team action.
Hungary round out the three teams in the tournament and will also be dangerous competitors. They feature a strong frontcourt led by Robert Gulyas and Kornel David who led them through additional qualifying.
Gulyas averaged 24 ppg and 9 rpg in the 4 games, while David contributed 16.5 ppg and 6.8 rpg.
While Hungary, Israel and Czech Republic go to Novi Sad hoping to keep their EuroBasket hopes alive, Poland, Netherlands and Sweden will be looking to keep their place among Europe's elite teams in Division A.
The three teams will also travel to Novi Sad for a relegation tournament in which only the winner will maintain the right to play in Division A in 2006 and 2007. The bottom two sides will be relegated to Division B.
Schedule Relegation Tournament:
11.9., 17:30h: Poland vs Sweden
12.9., 17:30h: Sweden vs Netherlands
13.9., 17:30h: Netherlands vs Poland

Start the broker, providing the key store password.
When you start a broker or client with SSL, you may notice a sharp increase in CPU usage for a few seconds. This is because the JSSE (Java Secure Socket Extension) method java.security.SecureRandom, which Message Queue uses to generate random numbers, takes a significant amount of time to create the initial random number seed. Once the seed is created, the CPU usage level will drop to normal.
Start the broker, providing the keystore password.
Put the keystore password in a password file, as described in Password Files and set the imq.passfile.enabled property to true. You can now do one of the following:
Pass the location of the password file to the imqbrokerd command:
imqbrokerd -passfile /passfileDirectory/passfileName
Start the broker without the -passfile option, but specify the location of the password file using the following two broker configuration properties:
If you are not using a password file, enter the keystore password at the prompt.

The yellow-bellied marmot is poised in its diorama, backed by sweeping vistas of the high Sierra. Rustic twig chairs sit on the porch of a mock Curry Village cabin, ready for real-life rocking. A brand-new ancient redwood grove stretches to the ceiling just steps from a sea lion in full roar on a sandy shore, not far from replica Lake Merritt light poles, artfully dribbled with an epoxy-clay version of pigeon poop — a tad too realistic for delicate sensibilities.
All these distinctive spots merge in the reborn and rebooted Gallery of California Natural Sciences — which opens May 31 at the Oakland Museum of California with a full weekend of events — forming a snapshot of the Golden State as one of the planet's top 10 hot spots of biodiversity.
Coming three years after the heralded reopening of the art and history galleries in 2010, the natural science wing marks the final element of the museum's six-year, $63 million overhaul — $11.4 million of that for the science section — bringing the city-owned museum up to its full multidisciplinary capacity and firmly grounding it as a world-class institution, museum officials say.
"This is a big moment in the life of the Oakland Museum," said museum director Lori Fogarty, ebullient at the prospect of culminating the project. "It's the first time in the past several years the whole museum will be open all at once."
Well, almost.
Two sections depicting habitats in Southern California will open later, likely in December, said Douglas Long, senior curator of natural sciences, during a recent whirlwind tour of the gallery as workers scurried around making finishing touches. "No offense to SoCal," he said, chuckling. "Think of it as something more to look forward to."
Evolving creativity
The bulk of the 25,000-square-foot space is ready to show off its evolution from a rather routine, mid-1960s grouping of plant and animal displays to a 21st-century, state-of-the-art walk on the wildlife side.
"If you came to the gallery in the fourth grade, it was kind of set up as a broad stroke, looking at various habitats with a bear in a diorama here, a heron there," Long said. "But it turned out people didn't understand that it was supposed to be about California specifically."
Longtime visitors likely will appreciate that officials are, in effect, recycling nearly 80 of the original habitat cases and dioramas — considered works of art themselves — now painstakingly refreshed and updated with interactive kiosks.
And for the first time, humans are included as part of the natural history landscape.
"It's really something different for a natural history museum," Long said. "Most focus on the nature, with no human presence involved except at the end when they talk about bad humans destroying the planet."
The museum's approach is to explore man's impact on the environment, from climate change to conservation efforts.
"People may have caused environmental problems — it is what it is, and we're not saying that's good or bad — but we're pointing out that people are the solution, too," Long said.
To depict that aspect, exhibits roll videos of beach cleanups and tell stories from community groups such as the Friends of Sausal Creek, which is working to preserve that watershed. Visitors also will find projects by citizen scientists — including one about road kill — and handcrafted displays from local kids who went on expeditions to Lake Merritt and the redwoods as part of a museum and YMCA project.
For even more human context, elements will be brought in from the art and history galleries. The opening art exhibit in the natural science wing will be "Inspiration Points: Masterpieces of California Landscape," examining works from artists such as Ansel Adams and Thomas Moran.
The place is the thing
In planning the gallery renovation, design teams — led by senior exhibit developer Don Pohlman — wanted to convey a strong sense of place, so they turned the gallery into a tale of seven Californias:
"What better place to start than where you are?" Pohlman said. "Plus, it's a really good example of a complex urban environment that still has remnants of diverse habitats, showing how humans and animals have co-evolved."
Funding for the renovation came in part from Measure G, which voters passed in 2002, providing $23.6 million for museum upgrades. The museum also received funds from the California Cultural and Historical Endowment, the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities. The rest came primarily from private donations.

Get an Edge with Hunting Accessories
DICK'S Sporting Goods offers a wide variety of accessories for turkey, duck, deer and predator hunting as well as items for hunting less common animals, such as doves. Accessories are available from top brands like Browning, Field & Stream, Flambeau, Weston and Under Armour.
Available accessories include hunting decoys, game calls and spotlights to ensure you are fully prepared for your hunt. If you are looking for hunting knives, hunting backpacks, or dog training gear, browse our large selection of products. DICK's also provides an array of chairs and heated seats to keep you comfortable while exposing yourself to the harshest elements. In addition to accessories for the hunt, you can also find truck accessories.
One of the most important accessories when hunting is something you don't take with you. Your scent. Use scent-free soap and scent lures before hunting to mask your smell. Most animals are sensitive to scents and will pick up yours right away, even if you have washed thoroughly with regular soaps. Scent lures can help cover up your natural scent and direct the game right into your sights.
Hunting accessories help make your time in the field, woods or mountains less complicated. Bring the animals to you with expertly developed scent lures, game calls and decoys. DICK'S Sporting Goods offers lures for bears, deer, elk and other large game. If you're looking for an more engaging way to attract animals, shop calls for turkeys, deer, elk and more. Life-like decoys are available for turkey, duck, goose, and dove hunting.
When hunting in areas that contain large, natural predators, it is a good idea to bring along pepper spray in case of an emergency. Mace supplies a number of spays, including bear spray, that stop bears and other predators before getting too close for comfort.
When setting up decoys for large birds like geese or turkeys, be sure to space the birds far apart to replicate natural patterns. Most hunters find birds will not land near their decoys if there is not enough spacing room.
When considering bird hunting accessories like game calls, buy at least two different types of bird calls: loud and soft. Having a variety to choose from will ensure you can attract fowl regardless of your specific setting or weather conditions. For example, a loud, sharp call is perfect for a windy day, while a softer call is ideal for calmer conditions.

Saffron Risotto with Shrimp and Pistachios Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
- Yield:serves 4 to 6
- Active time: 20 minutes
- Total time:45 minutes
- 6 to 8 cups homemade or store-bought low sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
- 1/2 cup pistachios, shells removed
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 cups Carnaroli or Arborio rice
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deviened
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ cup grated Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano (about 1 ounce)
Warm the chicken stock up in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. When it starts to bubble, reduce heat to maintain a bare simmer. Transfer 1/2 cup of stock to a small bowl and stir in the saffron threads. Set aside.
Set a skillet over medium heat and add the shelled pistachios. Toast briefly until warm, 15 to 30 seconds (watch them carefully, as they may burn). Remove pistachios and set aside. When cool enough to handle, roughly chop.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion and salt. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the onion pieces are soft but not browned, about 4 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring often, until each piece turns from translucent to milky white.
Add the wine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until rice absorbs most of the liquid. Using a ladle, transfer 1 cup of stock to the pot. Stir occasionally until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Repeat process until five cups have been added. Then pour in the saffron stock and stir well until this has been mostly absorbed. If the rice is tender but still with a slight bite in the center, you're done. If it has more of a crunch, keep adding an additional 1/2 cup of stock until rice is done. The risotto should be saucy, not too clumpy, so add additional broth if you need to thin it out once the rice is done.
Stir in shrimp, butter, half the parmesan, and half the pistachios. Cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let it rest until the residual heat completely cooks shrimp, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with a few cracks of black pepper and, if needed, more salt. Thin out until the risotto is saucy enough to form a flat layer on a plate without clumping up. Serve in hot bowls or plates with an additional sprinkle of cheese and pistachios.

Political pushback was fun while it lasted. But just three weeks after European Union leaders agreed to loosen austerity and bail-out conditions in the hopes of allowing debt-swamped members room to stoke their faltering economies, governments across Europe are again struggling to prevent resurgent economic and social adversity from swamping them.
Those challenges ranged from street violence in austerity-groggy Spain, to news from France Thursday that carmaker PSA Peugeot Citroën will be cutting 8,000 jobs–the latest in a rising tide of restructuring by companies fearing prolonged economic sluggishness.
Apart from the job cuts, the carmaker said it was closing a plant north of Paris. It said the move was a response to sales that fell 13% in the first half of 2012, and part of a general reorganization its production and sales strategy to adapt to a shrinking European market increasingly dominated by luxury and ultra-cheap car producers. In explaining the cuts, PSA Peugeot Citroën officials sounded a the same kind of alarmed existential tone that governments like Spain have. Quite clearly, Europe's dire financial and economic has left virtually everyone in a tight, urgent bind–whether they're in government or business. "The group is facing a business tsunami in Europe, and we're in the middle of it," PSA Peugeot Citroën chairman Philippe Varin said Thursday, as furious union leaders denounced an "act of war" they vowed to avenge. "I'm absolutely determined to see this plan through, (because) it's the only path possible for the group."
France's leftist government responded to the PSA Peugeot Citroën lay off news by demanding that the private, independent company provide details of what cabinet memhers called a "real shock for all employees of the group." Socialist Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault also ordered a "a support plan" be prepared by July 25 to outline possible ways of assisting France's automakers—a move that swiftly mobilized and livid unions warily welcomed.
The skepticism of union leaders is understandable, since it's difficult to imagine how the government could possibly help out in any meaningful way. The money simply isn't there.
An audit revealed earlier this month indicated the French government already must find up to $12 billion this year and $43 billion in 2013 just to meet the deficit reduction targets it has promised Brussels. The government has so far sought to recoup that initial shortfall with tax hikes primarily hitting the wealthy and businesses. But that won't be enough to fill the hole—especially if the state starts throwing cash at heavy industries to limit proliferating lay off plans.
French Socialist François Hollande has pledged to spare ordinary consumers more pain than they already feel–and shift most of that to the wealthy. Yet experts say some boost of France's value-added tax will be inevitable to recoup the nearly $55 billion that's needed to meet deficit reduction targets through 2013. Meantime, Hollande's government is already showing signs of preparing to increase a tax linked to salaries, despite repeated promises the very suggestion was unacceptable. The reason for the rethink: each percentage point that particular tax is boosted will bring an additional $15 billion in to drafty state coffers. Given that, it seems unlikely Hollande will be able to continue renouncing those resources as the crisis stiffens.
