About this event
The Open World: From the Global to the Local, to the Personal
More than 350 people joined us on September 15, 2012 for our second annual all-day TEDxSantaCruz conference at the beautiful performing arts center at Cabrillo College. We featured 17 speakers and performers whose experiences, projects, work, or creativity speak of openness, beginnings, transparency, radical availability, and open-source initiatives. It was an exhilarating day of talks, TED videos, a memorable picnic on the lawn at Cabrillo, and a relaxing after-party reception where the audience and speakers got to connect to share their experiences.

If a PUG feels the need to only allow people who have the epic achievements then it might be a sign that they are not particularly competent themselves. It's one thing to need competent people, it's another to have ridiculous requirements to prove it. It's not that difficult, you won't need people geared well beyond the instance to do well unless the rest of your group is itself incompetent.

Into His Marvellous Light (by jamescharlick)
Chapel Rose was built between 1290 and 1308 as a convent and hospital, occupied by the Augustinian Sisters. Around 1600 the entire complex was destroyed by fire, after which it was rebuilt. The oldest parts that have been preserved date from that period. In the 19th century the south and west wings were partially demolished and rebuilt.

When Tim Racer and Donna Reynolds of BAD RAP heard the story of the NFL star's dogs they were eager to save as many of them as they could. They flew out to Virginia in September along with Justin Phillips of Monterey SPCA to join a team of six other volunteers set to evaluate the temperament of the 48 dogs, in hopes of saving them from an unfortunate ending to the rough lives they had already lived. After two months of hard work, the dogs were finally granted their paper work which allowed them permission to be transferred out of the Virginia shelters. Out of the 48 rescued, Twenty-two dogs were quite happy with people and "dog social" enough to be put in foster homes in the state of Virginia. The other sixteen were allowed to leave the shelters early in October in order to begin their healing in a quieter setting.

Lawrence E. Blades and Charles A. Blades (2000) ($35)
This is the fifth edition of a practice book covering significant areas of Iowa tort law, the first edition having been published in 1976. All chapters have been updated, many have been substantially revised, and one new chapter on employment discrimination has been added.
The purpose of this book is to provide practicing lawyers a quick and ready access to the basic rules, principles, and authorities in major areas of Iowa tort law. The book is, as its title indicates, a "guide." It is not intended to serve as a definitive word on each subject or as a substitute for the reader's own independent research and interpretation of the law. The lawyer can use this book as a beginning or point of departure, but not as the final or complete, or even accurate, word on each subject.

All Challengers will have Chrysler's five-link independent rear suspension with antiroll bar, while the '08 SRT8 gets a limited-slip differential with 3.06:1 gears. Front suspension is short/long-arm with coilover gas-charged dampers. This is only a loose estimate we extracted from Chrysler program engineers using enhanced interrogation techniques, but curb weight for the Challenger in SRT8 spec is projected at 4,140 pounds. That means, we guess, that acceleration figures should be roughly in the same neighborhood as the slightly heavier four-door Charger: 0-60 mph in around 5 seconds, with quarter-miles in the low 13s at approximately 107 mph, give or take.
Michael Castiglione of Chrysler's Pacifica Studio designed the original Challenger Concept for the '06 Detroit Auto Show, with Allen Barrington performing the dash and interior. However, when it came time to turn the Concept into a real volume-production vehicle, Chrysler Design Manager Jeff Gale and Brian Nielander took the controls. Brian is responsible for the ME-412 and Chrysler Firepower concept vehicles, while Jeff was lead designer on the most recent Chrysler minivan lineup. Jeff is also the son of former Chrysler design chief Tom Gale, who coincidentally participated in the design of the original '70 Dodge Challenger.
Though it's difficult to spot when comparing the two cars, there are considerable differences between the Concept and the production Challenger. For one thing, the production car is 4 inches narrower. "We had to pull in the A-pillars 2 inches on both sides," says Jeff. A number of styling tricks were employed to create the classic long-hood/short-deck ponycar look on a contemporary floorpan: The front overhang was pushed out 2 inches, the windshield was raked back, and the lower thrust line was raised to pull the weight of the look upward.

Geology professor Sally Walker has returned to flying after surviving an airplane crash that killed 83 people last fall
by Lee Shearer (AB '72)
aturday, June 23, was a big day for Sally Walkerbut not one she was entirely looking forward to, as the UGA geology professor flew to Nassau to conduct research on the bottom of the ocean floor.
Walker is part of a team of scientists investigating the phenomenon of taphonomyhow things get buried and over time become fossils. Six years ago, the team left dozens of shells and wood samples in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. Every summer, Walker and her colleagues dive as deep as 2,000 feet in two- and four-person submarines, to see what's become of their experiment.
The plane crash made life a lot tougher, but also a lot sweeter, says Walker, because now "everything is a gift."
Those images are burned forever into Walker's memory. This kind of trauma does more than just make people nervous about flying; it actually changes a person chemically and physically, says Walker, who was flying back to the U.S. from an academic conference in Bali.
A typhoon engulfed Taiwan as her plane made a scheduled stop to refuel before embarking for Los Angeles. "Wave after wave of water was falling in a very strange movement," Walker recalls. "All I can remember is rain and darkness meeting. It was one big wall of darkness."
"Do 747s fly through this?" she asked a steward. "Oh, yeah," said the steward. "We fly 747s through typhoons all the time."
Walker's assigned seat was 58A, a window seat on the back row that would enable her to take photos from the air. But this time, something told her she should move away from the window. She switched to the empty seat next to her before the plane taxied away from the terminal.
"I've never moved seats before, but I'm glad I did," she recalls, because in a few minutes seat 58A wasn't there anymore.
Moments after liftoff, there were a couple of bumps and then people were thrown violently about the cabin.
"It was like someone had a giant vacuum cleaner, sucking us toward the front," she recalls. "I thought, This is it, because you don't survive these things."
Walker's reaction was to do a meditation she learned in studies of Tibetan Buddhism. She was trying to exude as much positive energy as possible in order to go into death with courage and affirmation.
"If I were going to die," she says, "I wanted to give back as much of the good energy as possible that people have given me in my life."
In a few twisting, grinding seconds, the plane was still, lying in pieces on the runway. But a fireball roared through the middle of the plane, where the death toll was greatest. In the very front, most of the first-class passengers made it out alive, but not most of those in businessprobably because they picked the wrong escape route.
Bleeding, dazed, yet coursing with adrenaline, Walker found her way out, along with most of the people in the tail section. She remembers how gigantic the blades of grass looked, and the water droplets on the tarmac. She learned later that the pilot had gone down the wrong runwayone under constructionthen tried to take off too quickly after he saw two concrete barriers and a crane looming in front of him. The plane struck the barriers, then plowed into the crane.
Six days later, Walker was on a plane again; there was no other way to get back home but to fly. But since then, she's declined trips that would have required air traveluntil her June 23 flight to Nassau. The worst part was takeoff. But there was no typhoon-ravaged airport, no rain-soaked darkness in Atlanta. The sky was sunny, the flight smooth, and Walker had several friends with her.
There was a bad moment later, when Walker switched planes for the last leg of the trip. The flight was delayed for hours because of mechanical problems.
"Because of that delay, the flight was scheduled to take off as a thunderstorm was nearing the airport," Walker wrote in an e-mail several days later. "I was very stressed out, and made a point to sit right by the emergency door once we were able to board. Shaking, I considered getting off the plane, but I could see that in the direction we were going, the sky was clear."
In the months since the tragedy on Taiwan, Walker has learned a lot about post-traumatic stress syndrome. In her case, it has meant high anxiety when she hears a plane overhead, or a powerful urge to flee when she smells gasoline. What she's battling is not unusual, something she knows after talking to both other crash survivors and to veterans of Vietnam and World War II.
"You have a reaction to certain sounds or smells, and you don't know why," she says. "'I still feel pretty leaky emotionally. I cry a lot for no reason."
In many ways, the crash made life a lot tougher for Walker. But it's also made life sweeter. "When I got home, the sky was brighter," she says, "I paid attention to the texture of the sidewalks. It was like being in a movie."
What used to be stressfulwriting a grant application, meeting a deadlineis not so bad any more, and Walker has found herself becoming more spontaneous, enjoying life more.
Now, she says, "Everything is a gift."

Baltimore's 100 best bars [Pictures]
Baltimore's nightlife scene is a reflection of its people -- extremely eccentric, but just as endearing. We put personality at a premium, and expect good value, too. So while we're happy to visit D.C. for the occasional swanky escape, given the choice, we'd take a cold Boh in a Baltimore bar nearly every time.
But which one? Ask 100 Baltimoreans their favorite bar and you'll likely receive just as many answers. That's because it's a diverse, forever-evolving community, susceptible to rising trends (craft cocktails, beer-snob hang-outs, sophisticated wine bars), but firmly committed to its long-standing haunts and dives. Last year, we broke the overall top bars list down into Top 10s (best places to go dancing, best places to meet singles, etc.). But this year, we stripped the signifiers and tackled the city's scene head-on. Raise a glass, and let the debates begin. --By Wesley Case

No. 12: Mahaffey's( Sam Sessa, Baltimore Sun photo / October 12, 2010 )
Canton's version of Max's Taphouse, Mahaffey's keeps things simple, advertising "Good beer, good food, good friends" on its sign. But really, this is a place for beer lovers, as evidenced by the pub's "100 Beer Club." Spend enough money at Mahaffey's and you can get your name on the wall, a gift card or an invitation to a private bi-annual social held upstairs.

Hollywood saw a box-office boom in 2013
A strong slate of holiday releases is pushing ticket sales to a new US record.
With just a few hours left in the year, Hollywood is serving up a feel-good ending.
Domestic movie ticket sales are expected to top last year's record haul of $10.8 billion and approach $11 billion for the first time, thanks to a strong slate of holiday releases.
"Despite the proliferation of other media platforms, whether it's Netflix or video-on-demand, the tried-and-true movie business continues to be pretty solid," says Bloomberg Industries analyst Paul Sweeney. "That gives a lot of investors a little more comfort."
Sure, slick TVs and streaming video options from Netflix (NFLX) and its competitors are threatening the silver screen. The number of tickets sold was flat this year and nowhere near prior peaks scored by films like "Spider-Man" in 2002.
But movie theaters were able to raise prices, thanks in part to a rash of 3D offerings. The average ticket price in 2013 swelled to $8.05, from $7.96 last year, according to Box Office Mojo.
Sweeney says almost half of the audience for 3D films this year chose to pay a premium of about 30 percent to get the full experience, complete with goofy glasses. "It continues to be a nice shot in the arm for a lot of films," he says.
What's more, those practicing the dark art of scheduling releases were able to do a better job of spreading out the movie millions. No picture in 2013 had the box office power of "The Avengers" or "The Dark Knight Rises."
Even Iron Man and Katniss Everdeen couldn't keep up. But there were plenty of surprisingly solid performers, such as "Gravity," which set a record for an October release, and "Frozen," which has quickly become one of Walt Disney's (DIS) most lucrative animated films of all time.
Here's a look at the top 10 movies of 2012:
And here's a look at the top 10 movies of this year:
There was a bit of a long-tail effect at theaters this year. But don't expect big-budget, highly publicized films -- so-called tent-pole releases -- to go away anytime soon. Seven of the top 10 films this year were sequels. Hollywood may be hedging its bets a bit, but it's still putting most of its chips on known quantities.

Jerry McLamb is gone now, passed away from cancer five years ago, but his spirit lives on at Crow Creek.
His spirit is there in the friendly greeting you get from the bag attendant when you arrive, in the smile of the cart girl as she hands you a PowerAde on the 13th hole.
It's there in the welcoming hand of Bryan Thomas, the general manager.
Five Ocean Ridge golfers show up at Cinghiale Creek, the home course of The First Tee, every Tuesday afternoon. From 4-5:30 p.m., they teach golf and life skills to 15 junior golfers.
The juniors hit balls and play the course. They also sit down in the classroom and talk about life skills. They learn "meet and greet," the age old ritual of shaking hands, so important to job, relationships, and sports.
They learn by doing, by trying new skills with their clubs. They learn by example from their coaches.
Bill Smith is the lead coach.
SHALLOTTE—Warning: Objects in strike zone may appear bigger than they really are.
After West Brunswick's baseball team walloped West Carteret 10-2 in a state playoff game Friday night, Trojan coach Mike Alderson said, "It looks like a softball to them now."
The Trojans pounded the baseball for 10 hits, including two each by Ryan Hill, Logan Tripp and Josh Powell.
"We've been coming out of the gate really fired up," said Powell, who batted in three runs.
His first RBI came in the first inning.
Four West Brunswick track athletes performed well enough at the 3A Eastern Track Regionals to qualify for the 3A State Track and Field Meet Friday at North Carolina A&T State University.
"We are really excited for our young people who qualified for the state championship meet this Friday in Greensboro," West Brunswick head track coach Yogi Hickman said.
"They have worked really hard and have improved their times throughout the season, and now they have a legitimate chance for a medal at the state meet."
North Brunswick's Joshua Balloon won the state championship in the shot put at the 2A state championship track and field meet Friday at North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro.
The 6-foot, 220-pound senior threw 57'" to win the shot-put competition.
"He did what all coaches hope their athletes can do—performed his best at the biggest meet of the year," North coach Gary Bishop said.
"Joshua beat his personal best by 3 feet."
Balloon also finished sixth in the state in the discus with a throw of 141 feet.
SHALLOTTE—West Brunswick's loss to Hoggard last Thursday night wasn't the kind of tune-up the Lady Trojans wanted.
Instead, they hope to add new plugs in the form of hits when the state softball playoffs get under way.
West struggled at the plate, while Hoggard pounded 13 hits on the way to a 7-3 win.
"It wasn't our night," West coach Joe Noble said. "There was a lot of nerves because everybody knew it was Senior Night, and there were some college scouts in the stands.
Josh Carter, Noah Gotsch and Eric Spafford fell in the first round of the boys' tennis regionals at Riverbirch Tennis Center in Greenville last weekend.
Carter, who plays No. 1 for North Brunswick, qualified for regionals in singles, and Gotsch and Spafford qualified in doubles.
"They did really well, and we're really proud of them," said Gary Baldwin, Scorpion athletic director.
North Brunswick revived its boys' tennis program this spring, and officials hope to field a girls' tennis team next fall, Baldwin said.
South Brunswick shut out Pasquotank 4-0 Friday in the first round of the 2A state playoffs.
"Jacob Morehouse did a great job on the mound," South coach Lee Shelton said. "He was throwing outs.
"Then Ryan Waldrep came in and did what Ryan does. We got some clutch hits by Nick Spell, Edward McNeill and Elliot Swain."
Morehouse pitched five innings and Waldrep two. The Cougars allowed just two hits.
South was set to play at West Bladen on May 13.
Colin Minor, of Boiling Spring Lakes, won the shot put and the discus in his first USATF/Junior Olympic Developmental Track and Field Meet at Hoggard High School.
Colin, a sixth-grader at South Brunswick Middle School, competed in the 11-12 age division. He took first place in the discus with a personal best of 80'1". He also won the shot put with 28'.
Colin's brother Ryan, a freshman at South Brunswick High School, also won the shot put and discus in his age group.
Two of our most sleek and beautiful inshore gamefish are cruising the waters just off the shore right now, and it is a good time to target them.
Although very different fish, speckled trout and Spanish mackerel share the common traits of being great on the line and great on the table. As a big bonus, both can be caught easily using artificial lures, which is a lot of fun when you get these feisty critters to smack your offering.

I honestly haven't ran since Parkway and am kind of on a hiatus. It just seems like my feet are fighting the pavement, and frankly I just have a somewhat sour taste in my mouth after Parkway. In relationship terms, I guess you can say we are on a break.
In the meantime, I've really gotten into swimming and cycling and did a little of both today. The low impact of swimming has been good to my joints and has been fun now that the weather is getting warmer. I think being in the water and not drenched in sweat masks how good of a workout it is and I don't realize it until the next day when my body feels achey. Cycling has also been great too. I've taken classes (inconsistently) for a while now and am ready to become certified and start teaching myself. I'm super excited to be able to lead my own class to some awesome music and have a good time!
I figure I'll lace up my running shoes when I'm in the mood again. You can't force the shoe if the shoe don't fit, if you know what I mean.

NEW YORK – Things are about to get tough for the New York Rangers (1-1-1) who lost two-thirds of tonight's top line to serious injuries on separate plays in the second period of a 4-3 overtime loss to Toronto (4-0-0) during New York's home opener.
Chris Drury, playing in his first game after breaking a bone in his left index finger during pre-season, suffered a different break on the same finger and will be out for six weeks.
Marian Gaborik suffered a separated shoulder on a second period hit by Colby Armstrong, and will be shelved for 2-3 weeks.
Rangers coach John Tortorella also announced veteran Vinny Prospal, yet to play this season, will have surgery on Tuesday and is out indefinitely. He could be lost for the entire season.
Before the game, Tortorella spoke about what it meant to the team to have Drury back, a return that lasted about 25 minutes.
"He's our captain. I think teammates are cognizant of that, when a captain's out," Tortorella said. "The way he plays, he does a lot of the little things. He brings an intangible. I think he's grown as a captain in the room. You want him back in there. He's well liked, he's well respected, and I think players see when he's not in the lineup."
Tortorella also announced that center Erik Christensen should be ready to play on Monday, when the Rangers host Colorado.
The biggest loss, though, is Gaborik. The Slovakian winger, who played all but six games last year, will miss at least six over the next two weeks, and as many as ten if he's out exactly three weeks.
Gaborik was hurt when Armstrong boarded him at 2:33 of the second period, a hit that many Rangers players took offense to. Sean Avery took a roughing penalty against Armstrong at 9:56 of the second in retaliation, but the damage had already been done.
"It was a bit of a hit from behind," Callahan said of the check by Armstrong that felled the Rangers top skater. "There's no secret it probably happened because it was Gabby. We'll take care of that when the time comes."
"It's a loss, no matter what. That sucks," said Brian Boyle, who scored two goals in a game for the first time since April, 2009. "Give him credit, he wanted to stay in. He wanted to come back. He's our best offensive player. He's a leader on the team. It's too bad for him and too bad for all of us."
"Without him, that just means the other guys are going to step up and try to pick up some slack," said Brandon Dubinsky.
So now, the Rangers will have to find a way to make do without their best player for close to a month, and their captain for a month-and-a-half.
"If it is any extended period of time, that just means the other 22 guys will have to step up," Dubinsky said. "I don't think anyone else is going to step up and score 40 goals, but pick up the slack and we'll just find ways to get some wins without them."
Sean Avery had two assists in the game, giving him 100 points as a Ranger.
Ruslan Fedotenko, Berek Boogaard, and Steve Eminger each had their first points as Rangers. Each had one assist in the game.
Henrik Lundqvist's 34-save effort is already his second contest with 30 or more saves of the season. He had 21 games of 30 or more saves last year.

For me, working out is all about interval training, whether I'm on the Spin bike or running outside. I load my playlist with plenty of fast-paced push-it songs for sprints, and slower but still pumped-up tunes for moderate intervals and climbs. I've got a little bit of everything here—pop, rap, rock and EDM. Mixing it up keeps me motivated—and moving!

Music Monday: March Madness Final Four Workout Playlist
Written on April 1, 2013 at 1:22 pm , by Karla Walsh
The men's NCAA March Madness Final Four is officially set. Congratulations to Syracuse, Wichita State, Louisville and Michigan (and their fans)! The ultimate winner will be decided one week from today, but there's another heated competition going on for a fitness-related trophy this week: Gold's Gym's March Music Madness.
In this battle, fans and celebrities, including Will Ferrell and Gabby Reece, nominate their favorite workout songs. Each round, tracks are voted on at marchmusicmadness.com and winnowed down until a victor emerges on April 18. "We thought it would allow for some spirited debate and, more importantly, help people discover new music for their workout playlists," says Dave Reiseman, vice president of communications for Gold's Gym.
This program caught our attention with the awesome, varied selection of tunes, but we were completely sold once we heard that the person who nominated the winning song gets $5,000 to award to their charity of choice.
After listening to the sweet 16 with us, go vote and make your voice heard. Fans who select the most winning songs win sweet gym swag and memberships!
"Music is just as much a part of the workout experience as a towel or water bottle. The right song can be just the motivation you need to push through when you feel like quitting, or the inspiration you need to take your workout to the next level," Reiseman says. We couldn't agree more.
Now tell us: Which of the contenders do you hope to see come out on top in the music bracket?

Music Monday: The Grammy Performances Rocked Our Socks
Written on February 11, 2013 at 3:35 pm , by Samantha Shelton
We know you've already gotten one workout playlist this week, but we just couldn't resist pulling together another one after last night's Grammy awards. With artists killing their performances one after the other, our ears were in heaven; our eyes weren't unhappy either while watching Justin Timberlake bring sexy back with Jay-Z and Alicia Keys dominating on the drums with Maroon 5. If these tracks weren't on your playlists already, be sure to download them immediately. If not, you'll be missing out on some serious musical motivation.

Whether you were rooting for the 49ers or the Ravens, or barely paying attention last night, we think there's one thing we can all agree on: Beyonce rocked the halftime show at this year's Super Bowl. B stomped out on stage and delighted the audience with her hits — and even brought out Kelly and Michelle, a long-awaited Destiny's Child reunion! Queen B and the Destiny's Child ladies are on our playlists on most days anyway, so we'll happily work out to this playlist today.

Music Monday: Taylor Swift's Top Tunes
Written on January 28, 2013 at 9:51 am , by Samantha Shelton
A good bee-bopping song tossed into our workout mix every now and then is a great pick-me-up; something catchy that will undoubtedly end up stuck in our heads for the rest of the day, if not the entire week. T-Swift is one young artist who fills this playlist gap quite well – we have to admit, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" is great for holding a 9-minute mile. And since Swift is sitting pretty at the top of the iTunes chart with her grungier hit, "I Knew You Were Trouble" (check out the video), it's time to highlight some of our favorite hits from the star. She may be constantly switching beaus, but it makes for great music. Pop those headphones in and get ready to head bob your way to the gym. Go ahead and sing a little, too – we won't tell.

Don't worry about currency wars
Bundesbank president Jens Weidmann gave a speech yesterday in which he warned of "increased politicisation of exchange rates" and a potential "devaluation competition" between currency zones. The speech was timely: it came as the Bank of Japan doubled its inflation target to 2%, adding fuel to the strong trend of the past six months, where the euro has been appreciating while the yen has been getting significantly weaker.
It's easy to see what Weidmann is worried about here: according to UniCredit economist Marco Valli, a 10% rise in the euro's value will reduce eurozone GDP growth by 0.8%. On top of that, Weidmann is certainly right that the Bank of Japan has become increasingly politicized, and it's less independent than it used to be.
But it's worth having a bit of perspective, here. Firstly the euro is still much more competitive, against the yen, than it was before the crisis. Here's the five-year chart, which shows that if there's any competitive devaluing going on, then Europe did it first.
And of course neither currency zone is really engaged in any kind of currency war at all — what we're seeing here is just the natural consequence of growth expectations and the interest rates that result from them.
Interestingly, Weidmann kicked off his speech — well before the "independence of central banks in danger" section — by quoting economist Michael Woodford with approval: "Not only do expectations about policy matter, but (…) very little else matters." And really all we're seeing in Japan is the first real effort from the central bank to wrestle with the implications of that fact, and to try to force the Japanese population into a stance where it genuinely expects inflation rather than deflation. (Deflation, of course, is something of a self-fulfilling prophecy: if you expect prices to fall, then you'll hold on to your money rather than spend it, which causes prices to fall.)
What's more, the fact is that Japan is more likely to fail than to succeed: like most Japanese policy actions for the past couple of decades, this one looks like it's too little, too late. When it comes to 2% inflation, the reasonable stance of the Japanese population is "I'll believe it when I see it" — which in turn means that they're not going to do either, any time soon.
I'm sure that the Japanese government is happy about the weakening yen. But these are not the opening salvos in some new currency war: instead, the yen should be getting cheaper, just because the Japanese central bank should be doing everything in its power to increase inflation expectations and nominal GDP growth. This move is what you'd expect if the yen moved in line with the kind of monetary policy that makes sense.
And as for central bank independence — well, that battle was lost during the financial crisis, I'm afraid. When it comes to globally coordinated policy actions, central banks should not be independent, and in general the more independent they are, the less effective they have been. Nominal independence is a good thing: we don't want the finance minister announcing interest rate moves, as used to happen in the UK until about 15 years ago. Central bankers are like judges: they should be technocrats, rather than politicians.
But the fact is that the last genuinely independent central banker was Alan Greenspan, who blew two enormous bubbles and was in many ways the prime cause of the global financial crisis — mostly by being far too laissez-faire, and keeping interest rates far too low for far too long. Central bank independence gave him the kind of credibility that he'd never have had if the president had been setting the exact same monetary policy, more's the pity.
For the time being, then, let's not worry too much about central bank independence or about currency wars. Global interest rates are very low and are going to stay very low for the foreseeable future, and that's pretty much all the monetary policy that the world has. Currencies will fluctuate, of course. But don't blame central bankers for that.
There are other currencies in the world, you know? Am sure even Germany is half thankful to the PIGS for taking Euro down but does not mean that is the path to be taken. Germany has responded very responsibly to the crisis by asking Greece, Spain to swallow a hard deal. They did not choose the easy (and way stupid) choice that US takes of printing more cash. All major currencies are happy to be weak one one way or the other. No country wants any sort of slowdown in growth let alone uptick in unemployment or loss of lifestyle(which was unaffordable to begin with!). There simply cannot be all the automation there is in the world, growth of productivity and still have all the billions around the world gainfully employed! Doing what? US has gotten obese enough(in every which way) consuming the world's(ok, mainly China's/Asia's) produce(and not really paying for it). Who's to take their place? This stupidity of humongous production for the sake of growth and shoving it all somebody's guts must stop. It is unhealthy for all involved. The alternative you will find is that everybody around the world accept a more sober lifestyle of less wants(and hopefully that little of something locally produced – reason why i hope transport should really become way too expensive to shuttle goods around the world.)
The prime spark of the global economic crisis was the government incentive to lenders to lend to those who could not afford it, and subsidizing the housing market, creating a massive housing bubble. Very little had to do with being too laissez-faire, and everything to do with government meddling in the markets.
Some blame to Greenspan could definitely be given over the dotcom bubble, but the combination of investors not knowing how to price the new tech assets, as well as the government granting tax exemptions to these startups, greatly exasperated the situation.
It seems that the competitive benefit of having a devalued currency would, at some point, be limited by the increased cost of imported energy.
Even if the currencies of all major producer economies were in a race to the bottom, energy markets can and should respond instantly to changes in a currency's value. From the standpoint of international competitiveness, the change in the cost of imported energy would be approximately equal as currencies devalue, but the ability of people and domestic businesses to increase their incomes is much less fluid and should result in a decrease in economic activity.
the ECB is more independent from politics than the Fed. In any case, Greenspan kept rates lower for longer partly because it help W. win reelection- he is a Rep after all.

The 'crossroads of the world' was home to Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney Thursday afternoon.
The entertainer, who visited a high school in Queens this week, performed to a large crowd.
"Wow! Really excited to be playing New York Times Square at 1pm this afternoon!" said McCartney via Twitter.
Photos shared on the social media site show the singer and his band standing inside a partially opened tractor trailer.
McCartney reportedly performed for about 15 minutes.
A day earlier, McCartney serenaded students at the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts and his wife, Nancy Shevell.
McCartney said, "Happy anniversary, Baby," to Shevell before going into his latest song, called "New." He said the song was inspired by his wife as the students turned to her and gushed.
McCartney and Shevell, his third wife, married in 2011.
His latest album, 'New,' is due out next week.

Visiting Ağlasun
For transportation information, click here. For tourism information, click here.
Ağlasun is a town of about 5000 people set in a beautiful valley surrounded by mountains. Because it's "off the beaten path", the town and the valley around it offers the visitor both beautiful landscapes and a taste of life in a rural Turkish town. Although the town seems quite remote, Ağlasunlus are open-minded and friendly to strangers – don't hesitate to smile and say 'Iyi Günler' (good day) or 'Iyi Akşamlar' (good evening).
People have been living in Ağlasun since at least the 13th century, when a Selcuk hamam (recently investigated by the archaeological team) was constructed near the current town square. The square itself is organized around a huge plane tree (çınar in Turkish) that may be as much as 1000 years old.
Ağlasun is a pleasant town for walking. Houses are interrupted with small rose and cherry orchards framed by dramatic mountains in the distance. The town has many charming old traditional houses made of mud-brick and stone. If you look closely, you can see ancient stonework that was reused in some of the lower stories. A few even have inscriptions in Latin and Greek!
Around the main square are several restaurants, an internet café, small shops, and a pleasant outdoor tea garden. Every Friday morning, the local market is held near the center of Ağlasun. Recently, a pansiyon (pension) opened adjacent to the town square. During the summer months, it is also possible to stay in student dormitories, which are vacant during the summer holidays.
The economy of Ağlasun and surrounding villages is mainly agricultural. The main products are wheat, sugar beet, and cherries. Many farmers also grow roses for the perfume industry, which is important in the nearby city of Isparta.
Although friendly, Ağlasun is a rather conservative country town. People are not used to extravagant dress or skimpy clothes. While beer is available in local stores, we encourage you not to drink alcohol in public. (Buying drinks for the archaeologists once in a while, however, is highly recommended).
The Sagalassos Community Archaeology Project are collaborating with the local mayor and other authorities to develop a visitors' centre with more information about the history and culture of Ağlasun and the Sagalassos excavations. We also plan to develop walking tours of Ağlasun's historic houses, and to help local residents market local handicrafts and artisanal food products. Stay tuned for updates!

How are applications assessed?
All applicants are assessed relative to the qualifications listed on the job posting. Applicant information will be reviewed by the Human Resources Department and the hiring manager. Applicants must meet the minimum qualifications of the posting to be eligible for further consideration. However, meeting the minimum qualifications does not automatically guarantee an interview.
When are applicants notified of their status in an application process?
Typically applicants will receive correspondence within two work weeks of the job closing or first review date.
How can applicants send additional information to attach to their applications (i.e. resume or more job history information)?
They can email it to firstname.lastname@example.com or fax it to 760-602-8554. They must make sure to reference the job applied for and their full name.
Do applicants have to take any tests to get a job at the City of Carlsbad?
Each job posting contains information about the selection process. Some positions require testing. A combination of one or more of the following may be used to assess applicants:
Application screening, oral interview, written test, performance test, computer skills test, writing exercise, assessment center, physical agility test (safety only), or supplemental questionnaire.
What is the supplemental questionnaire and how do applicants submit it?
A supplemental questionnaire consists of specific job-related questions that assist in identifying an applicant's qualifications and provide an opportunity to elaborate on his or her experience, skills and abilities. Not all jobs openings have a supplemental questionnaire. See the job announcement of the specific position to find out if a supplemental is required.
What does it mean when a filing deadline is not listed?
If an application deadline is not listed, the city is accepting applications until the position is filled, and the vacancy may close without notice. Those interested in a specific position are encouraged to apply soon as possible upon seeing the announcement. There is no guarantee that applications received after the specified "first application screening" will be reviewed.
Are applications accepted for jobs that are not listed as open? What if an applicant is interested in a position that is not on the list of openings?
Complete a Job Interest Card and sign up to receive an email notification when there are new job openings.
What is the best way to get started in a career in law enforcement?

A list of academies is maintained on the California Post website.
What is the best way to get started in a career in the fire service?

Where is the city's employment office located?
1635 Faraday Ave., Carlsbad, CA.
How can applicants reach the 24-hour telephone job hotline?
Should a resume be included with the application?
A resume may be included with an application but it is not required unless indicated on the online job application.
If applicants need an accommodation for the interview or testing process, how can they make the request?
The City of Carlsbad is committed to the fair and equal employment of qualified persons with disabilities. While many individuals with disabilities can apply for and perform jobs without accommodation, it is the policy of the City of Carlsbad to reasonably accommodate qualified individuals with disabilities unless the accommodation would impose an undue hardship. Those who need an accommodation due to a disability can call 760-602-2440.
What is an eligibility list?
An eligibility list (also referred to as employment list) is a list of names of persons who have competed in an open or continuous selection process for a classification and are eligible for employment in that classification because they received a rating of "highly qualified," "qualified," or "satisfactory" during the examination process. Eligibility lists will remain in effect for one year, unless sooner exhausted. The human resources director may extend the duration of a list for up to one additional year.

Found November 26, 2012 on Tireball.com:
PLAYERS: Jonathan Broxton, Aroldis Chapman
TEAMS: Cincinnati Reds, Kansas City Royals
TEAMS: Cincinnati Reds, Kansas City Royals
If the Cincinnati Reds are able to re-sign Jonathan Broxton it would almost certainly signal the arrival of Aroldis Chapman in the teams rotation. Broxton began last season with the Kansas City Royals but was traded to the Reds at the trade deadline. Broxton may not be the pitcher he was a few years ago with the Dodgers but he still managed a 2.48 ERA and 27 saves between the Royals and Reds. It is doubtful that the Reds would spent so heavily on a set up man, which suggests that Chapman may finally be moved into the teams starting rotation. Once thrust into the role of the teams closer last season Chapman responded well. He was selected to the All-Star team and saved 38 games while posting a 1.51 ERA and a 0.81 WHIP. He may not reach the 15.3 K/9 that he had last season but he would provide a power arm to the Reds rotation. Currently the Reds have a rotation of Cueto, Arroyo, Latos, Bailey and Leake.

Lovely! I had some cheap limoncello to use up, and this recipe is perfect for that, but also delicious. I made it with bread on the side and more veggies (shredded cabbage) mixed in, which worked well. Also, I cooked the lemon sauce down longer to thicken. Adding more salt & pepper can balance out the limoncello's sweetness.
Shrimp Bruschetta al Limoncello
Photo: Becky Luigart-Stayner
Bruschetta is a classic appetizer and the shrimp really are the icing on the cake. They're mixed in a sauce featuring garlic, shallots, lemon juice, and limoncello. The hint of lemon will make this dish truly unforgettable.
Yield: Makes 8 servings
- 24 baguette slices
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 24 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup limoncello (lemon liqueur)
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Garnishes: chopped fresh Italian parsley, lemon zest
- Brush baguette slices with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Grill or toast bread slices until golden; arrange on a platter. Set aside.
- Sauté garlic and shallots in remaining 6 tablespoons hot olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 1 minute or until light golden brown. Add shrimp, and sauté 2 to 3 minutes or until shrimp turn bright pink. Turn shrimp, and cook 1 additional minute. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon.
- Add lemon juice and limoncello to skillet; cook over high heat until mixture is reduced by two-thirds, about 2 minutes. Return shrimp to mixture, stirring until shrimp are coated. Remove from heat; add salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon 1 shrimp with sauce onto each toast. Garnish, if desired.

The Evo Has Landed
Last week I included a Terra Plana promotional video describing Vivo Barefoot's new Evo running shoe. There's obviously a good deal of interest and anticipation about this shoe; earlier this winter, Vivo Barefoot set up a bare-bones registration webpage for e-mail updates – and they currently have more than 1700 people on a wait list to purchase them.
Even more impressive is that most of these registrants were onboard before there was so much as a picture unveiled – a point that speaks both to Vivo Barefoot's customer loyalty and their reputation for quality. Since that early teaser, the questions that have been asked most frequently are, 1) What do they look like?, 2) What will they cost?, and 3) When can I get mine?
This week Vivo Barefoot sent out a mailer that answers all those questions, which is embedded below (it's tall and skinny, so you'll have to click to enlarge). The shoes are now officially available from the company website, although they'll probably be in short supply until the initial wait list orders are satisfied.
I have some initial thoughts on the mailing, which I'll probably save for a later post, or for a formal review later this spring or summer – but if you have any first impressions on the Evo, feel free to discuss in the comments below.

Literature & Criticism
Protest and Reform
The British Social Narrative by Women, 1827–1867
Joseph A. Kestner
The social novel in nineteenth-century Britain has been considered the effort of a predominantly male canon of writers. In this ground-breaking study, Joseph Kestner challenges that assumption, arguing that it was a succession of female writers—women often meriting only a footnote in literary history—who initiated and advanced the tradition using narrative fiction to register protest, expose abuses, and promote reform.
Kestner explores the contributions to Victorian social policy by the fiction of these neglected authors (Hannah More, Elizabeth Stone, Frances Trollope, Charlotte Tonna, Camilla Toulmin, Geraldine Jewsbury, Fanny Mayne, Julia Kavanagh, Dinah Mulock Craik) as well as of more prominent female authors (Maria Edgeworth, Harriet Martineau, Elizabeth Gaskell, Charlotte Brontë, George Eliot) and male writers (Charles Dickens, Benjamin Disraeli, G. M. W. Reynolds, John Galt, Charles Kingsley).
John Kestner is professor of English at the University of Tulsa. He studied at Columbia University, where he was a President's Fellow. He is author of The Spatiality of the Novel, as well as many essays in a variety of scholarly journals, including Poétique.

text: Burberry to broadcast fashion show in 3D Culture 08 February 10 by Katie Scott Tweet Burberry Burberry is to live stream its upcoming Autumn/Winter womenswear show to five locations around the world -- New York, Paris, Dubai, Tokyo and LA -- in 3D, where a 3D glasses-clad audience will watch the show on "custom built silver screens". The show will take place at The Chelsea College of Art in London on February 23 but Burberry claims it is the first brand to use an HD3D transmission to simultaneously show an event globally.Burberry has teamed up with Sky for the event. The broadcaster launched a 3D channel on January 30, with the 3D screening of the Arsenal and Manchester United match in selected pubs around the UK. The channel will be available in hundreds more venues come April and then to Sky+HD customers later in the year. Although Burberry hasn't released information on how the event is to be filmed, it has said that it will be using HD projectors at the venues outside of the UK. These will have polarising filters over the lenses.Burberry will also live stream its show in 2D at live.burberry.com where viewers can watch and comment on the show in real time using their Facebook and Twitter accounts.Christopher Bailey, Burberry's chief creative officer, says: "This unprecedented event will enable people to experience the energy and atmosphere of this event from around the world. 3D technology will bring our global audience into the London show space allowing them to see the colours and fabrics, to hear the music and to be a part of that moment when it all finally comes together."But is the Burberry event going to start a 3D trend in the fashion world? It will be interesting to see the response of fashionistas after all colour and texture are key in fashion and some 3D glasses can make content seem darker and colours appear muddy. We also look forward to shots of the cream of the fashion world donning plastic glasses at the end of this month and wonder if the shades will be Burberry branded.
