Originally released in 1985 on the Black Victory label this rare album is to see the light of day again courtesy of Dug Out.
It's a one riddim album that plays on King Tubby's classic Tempo riddim and is hailed by many as being one of the best of its kind.
There are only eight short songs, but each one is sublime in its own way. The first four cuts are vocal versions from such respected artists as Willie Williams, Chris Wayne, Ras Menlik Dacosta and Sugar Minott, who also co-produced the album with Bullwackie and each of these artists brings their own distinct style to the table.
The final four are instrumental cuts with the smooth sax of Jerry Johnson, who more recently appeared on Burning Spear's 2009 Grammy award winning 'Jah Is Real' drifting on top of one while the other three are from The Black Roots Players who add real dread and menace with their 'Slow Tempo' version.
This album with its meticulous and mesmerising mix of electronic and analogue techniques is sure to appeal to fans and collectors of the digital revolution that took place within 1980's reggae.

Doctor Behaviour Under a Pay for Performance Contract: Further Evidence from the Quality and Outcomes Framework
Since 2003, 25% of UK general practitioners' income has been determined by the quality of their care. The 65 clinical quality indicators in this scheme (the Quality and Outcomes Framework) are in the form of ratios, with financial reward increasing linearly with the ratio between a lower and upper threshold. The numerator is the number of patients for whom an indicator is achieved and the denominator is the number of patients the practices declare are suitable for the indicator. The number declared suitable is the number of patients with the relevant condition less the number exception reported by the practice for a specified range of reasons. Exception reporting is designed to avoid harmful treatment resulting from the application of quality targets to patients for whom they were not intended. However, exception reporting also gives GPs the opportunity to exclude patients who should in fact be treated in order to achieve higher financial rewards. This is inappropriate use of exception reporting or 'gaming'. Practices can also increase income if they are below the upper threshold by reducing the number of patients declared with a condition (prevalence), or by increasing reported prevalence if they were above the upper threshold. This study examines the factors affecting delivered quality (the proportion of prevalent patients for indicators were achieved) and tests for gaming of exceptions and for prevalence reporting being responsive to financial incentives.

800 Watt Portable Generator
Portable generator
I've owned this generator for two years and it's great for light field work. Turn all your electric tools (weed trimmer, hedge trimmer, leaf blower, even electric chain saws) into gas tools. This generator is OEM'ed to a lot of distributors, who then put their own facade on it. The cheapest version appears to be available at Harbor Freight for ~$99.
It's very robust and endures overload gracefully (it just peters out without any damage.) It's the antithesis of the previously reviewed Honda EU Series. You could wear out and throw away a lot of these generators for the price of one of the Honda inverter generators. And the electronic Honda's don't take even a momentary overload gracefully. A momentary surge from a power tool will trip the Honda's breakers even if the nominal power of the load is within spec.06/18/10

Faustino Barrientos might just be the most isolated Chilean in all of South America. And a video crew from Vice recently went to find him -- and learn what it's like to live in a shack in the wilds of Patagonia, surviving by his wits and holding off the seemingly unstoppable tide of modernity.
In a 35-minute film that premiered February 16 at the Explorers Club in New York City, host Adri Murguia tells Faustino's story, a fascinating look at the lifestyle of the Chilean gaucho. (*SEE PHOTOS & VIDEO BELOW*)
Interestingly, Faustino, for so long isolated on the shores of Lake O'Higgins, has recently allowed a neighbor onto his land to help herd his animals and watch over the hardscrabble parcel that he's called home since 1965.
But even one of the world's most remote corners, the film reveals, isn't immune to tourisms' currents, both good and bad.

Bees, Wasps, and Hornets
Wasps and bees (along with ants) belong to the taxonomic suborder Apocrita of the order Hymenoptera. They can be readily identified by their constricted petioles (or "waists") and membranous wings.
Stinging insects in Oregon and Washington state range from relatively passive insects like carpenter ants (shown in the picture to the right), which almost never sting; to baldfaced hornets, which will sting in great numbers just because you looked at them funny. Most of our stinging insects fall somewhere in between the two.
By the way, most stinging insects in our area are wasps, not bees. But because of their similar appearances, many people confuse stinging insects with each other. In addition, the common names for different wasps are more loosely applied than for most other insects. It's not unusual for several wasp species to share the same common name, or for one wasp specie to be known by several common names.
Here are some of the more common wasps and bees found in Oregon and Washington state. We'll talk about the wasps first because they're more commonly encountered as pests, and talk about the bees a bit later on down the page.
Bald Faced Hornets
Bald faced hornets are among the most aggressive of stinging wasps. They build paper nests that usually baldfaced-hornetare suspended from trees or attached to structures. If you're smart, you'll stay far away from these nests because hornets have been known to attack in great numbers if you get too close.
Hornets typically have two or three members circling around the nest standing guard. These hornets are commonly known as "sentries," and their job is to keep on the lookout for threats. If they see something that they don't like, they call the rest of the colony, and they attack as a group.
The problem is that sometimes the sentries get a bit paranoid and order an attack just because you happened to look at them funny. And you really, really don't want that to happen. Don't ask us how we know.
The long and short of it is that hornet control isn't a DIY sort of job. You get one shot at taking out a hornets' nest. If you miss, you'll be sorry you even tried. So do yourself a favor and call us instead.
Paper Wasps
There are many species of paper wasps, all of whom build paper nests with hexagonal (six-sided) cells. One egg is laid in each cell, starting in the center and working outward, and is tended there throughout the larval stage until pupation.
Different species have very different coloration, from jet black to red. They're commonly found around door and window frames and under porch roofs.
Paper wasps vary in their aggressiveness from relatively passive to downright ornery. The group also includes both solitary and social species, but most species are social, and even the solitary species often build their nests very close to each other.
Most paper wasps are primarily beneficial because they eat more noxious insects. But when an aggressive specie builds a nest in places where humans congregate, they can create a problem because of their ability to deliver painful stings.
Yellow Jackets
There are several wasps commonly called "yellow jackets," but the one we get most often in Portland and Vancouver is the German yellow jacket (Vespula germanica), shown here, which is also known as the German wasp or European wasp. We also come another specie one in a while called the common yellow jacket (Vespula alascensis), which is almost identical.
Yellow jackets are primarily beneficial because they prey on noxious insects and feed them to their young. They're also a minor pollinator because the adults primarily feed on nectar.
Unfortunately, yellow jackets aren't exactly the friendliest wasps you'll ever come across. They're fairly aggressive and are attracted to human food and beverages, especially sugary drinks. They also build nests that can get quite huge, usually inside wall voids, attics, and other hidden areas. If for some reason they perceive you to be a threat, things can get nasty pretty quickly, with hundreds or thousands of wasps attacking en masse.
Another problem that occurs sometimes is that the wasps may get trapped inside a home and get into the living area. Most often this happens when someone doing a DIY yellow jacket job seals up their entry holes or treats with a chemical that it highly repellent to the yellow jackets.
Honey Bees
The honey bee (Apis mellifera) is the most important pollinator in North America and most of the world. As such, it is worthy of a special measure of respect: honeybees are controlled by killing only when there's no other reasonable alternative. Preferably, they should be removed by an experienced beekeeper.
Honey bees have a fascinating system of communication that seems to use both pheromones and bodily movements to communicate ideas, such as the distance and direction to sources of food or threats to the hive. This is one of the things that makes them problematic: if they think you're a threat, they'll attack in great numbers — which is always extremely painful, and can be life-threatening to people who are allergic to bee stings.
Another problem with honey bees is that they often build hives inside wall and ceiling voids in homes. The honey attracts other insects (and sometimes wildlife), and can stain or damage your home when it leaks. It's usually necessary to locate and remove the hive after honeybees have been removed because it's their flapping wings that act as an air-conditioning system. Once they're gone, the honey melts quite quickly.
What it really comes down to is that if you have honey bees in some part of your property where they're not bothering anyone, you really should consider leaving them alone. If they have to be controlled, live removal is the preferred method. Killing them should be considered a last resort.
Bumblebees are large, social bees that usually nest in the ground. Unlike honey bees, bumblebee colonies are annual. Toward the end of the summer, reproductive bumblebees will leave the colony and mate, the mated queens will burrow into the ground to overwinter, and the colony they emerged from will die.
Like honey bees, bumblebees are important pollinators of both wild and agricultural plants. Their long tongues make them able to pollinate some plants that honey bees cannot. They also have a longer pollination season (they start pollinating earlier in the spring, and keep pollinating later in the fall), and pollinate on cloudy days.
The problem with bumblebees is that their nests are easy to stumble upon, and the bees are quite aggressive in defending it. Bumblebees station "guard bees" around the hole to watch for threats; and unlike honey bees, bumblebees can sting more than once, and the stings are very painful.
Because of their value as pollinators, we really hate to kill bumblebees. If they're in some out-of-the-way place where they're not bothering anyone, you may want to consider leaving them alone. They're pretty mild-mannered as long as you stay away from their nests.
Carpenter Bees
Carpenter bees are large, solitary bees that look a lot like bumblebees, except that the carpenter bee's abdomen is shiny black, and the bumblebees fuzzy yellow and black. Although technically "stinging insects," they almost never sting. The males don't even have stingers (although they like to act as if they do), and the females rarely sting unless you practically sit on them.
In addition to being quite passive as stinging insects go, carpenter bees are also efficient pollinators. They're especially good pollinators of garden vegetables (especially nightshades like tomatoes, eggplant, and peppers) and most ornamental flowers.
In fact, if it weren't their annoying habit of drilling holes, carpenter bees probably would be the most popular bees around. Unfortunately, drilling holes is a central part of being a carpenter bee. They drill perfectly round, one-half inch holes in wood, then they make a sharp turn and burrow along the grain. They make tunnels that can sometimes reach over a foot in length in which they lay their eggs and rear their young in the tunnels.
Over time, carpenter bees can do extensive damage to houses, playground equipment, wooden lawn furniture, and other wooden structures.

Pastor Forced to Flee Naked After Parishioner Finds Him in Bed With Wife and Once Wrote A Book About Godly Manhood
Another web page I saw about this story says that the pastor may have been married when sleeping with one of these women, which means he was committing adultery on his own wife (not just with some other guy's wife). The story below seems to indicate that the pastor was married while sleeping with another guy's wife.
Several lessons to derive from this news story below:
Equally Yoked is a stupid teaching single Christians should feel comfortable trashing and disregarding. If you're a single Christian woman, find yourself a nice, reliable Non-Christian guy to marry, which will considerably widen your dating pool, since so many Bible-reading, church-going Christian men are cheaters, fornicators, and perverts (I am not arguing that all Non-Christian men are upstanding great guys, however).
Secondly, let this show that married people (or the previously married) are NOT more godly, mature, or ethical than single adults.
Lastly, this shows that God does not demand or expect an adult to clean himself up before God will allow that person to marry.

Slightly over a year ago Hawaii become the first state to mandate their electricity be sourced from 100 percent renewable energy. The Hawaii State Energy Office said that it is to dependent on outside oil. Changing their dependency would not only benefit the environment, but also the state's economy.
The Hawaiian Green Energy Initiative agrees stating that Hawaii is one of the most fossil fuel dependent states. They claim that most is a result of military use (jet fuel) and tourism. To coincide with the HSEOs plan, they engaged in resident and tourist education while backing legislation that benefits local economics.
Hawaii's Green Energy Plan
HSEO sums the plan up using one keyword, "diversity." The multi-island state's location and unique ecosystem can increase local energy production by utilizing already proven methods such as:
-Bio Energy
Mixing these energy production methods along with better regulations, upgrading energy grids, and creating storage facilities the goal is achievable.
100 Percent Timeframe
HSEO has said set 2045 as the deadline for meeting the 100 percent goal. Benchmark dates have been set before then to determine how progress is moving. By 2020, 30 percent of electricity must be sourced by renewable energy. By 2030, 40 percent must and in 2040, 70 percent.While Hawaii builds an energy infrastructure to meet these needs, other energy sources like biofuels are being used.
Residents and tourist are also being encouraged by the HCEI to become more aware of their energy usage and to seek alternative forms of transportation. HCEI claims that 60 percent of the Hawaii's energy use is from transportation. Most comes from air travel, yet curving the estimated 23 percent from automobile travel would assist greatly.
Grid Modernization
Modernizing the energy grid is another early step to help in the transition towards using 100 percent renewable energy. The current system is inefficiently and out of date according to HSEO. By updating the system the individual islands of Hawaii would be able to assist each other and share energy produced. An updated system could also allow for local businesses and residents to monitor their energy usage.
Benefits to the Economy
The local ecosystem in Hawaii is an excellent place to utilize multiple forms of renewable energy. The volcanic activity creates great promise for geothermal energy. Hawaii is known for sunshine, which is key for solar power. The Pacific Ocean allows for energy created by the wind and ocean to be easily obtained. The HSEO hopes that its location to a variety of sources tempts companies interested in green energy technologies to choose Hawaii as a home. Not only will transitioning to local energy sources attract outside business ventures, but also eliminate money spent on foreign sources.
Hawaii's Green Energy plan is a bold move. It has the potential to change the way other states look at their own energy policies. Though much of the needs being addressed by the plan deals with the state's individual access to resources, others can benefit. Hawaii is in a unique position due to location that can allow for green energy industries to advance their technologies.

About the Book
The first book in a new trilogy from L. J. Smith!
Elena Gilbert is alive—again.
When Elena sacrificed herself to save the two vampire brothers who love her—the handsome, brooding Stefan and the sleek and dangerous Damon—she was consigned to a fate beyond death. Until a powerful supernatural force pulled her back.
Now Elena is not just human. She has powers and gifts that were bestowed on her in the afterlife. What's more, her blood pulses with an overwhelming and unique force that makes her irresistible to any vampire.
Stefan wants to find a way to keep Elena safe so that they can make a life together. Damon, however, is driven by an insatiable desire for power, and wants Elena to rule as his princess. When Stefan is lured away from Fell's Church, Damon seizes his chance to convince her that he is the brother she is meant to be with. . . .
But a darkness is infiltrating the town, and Damon, always the hunter, is now the hunted; he becomes the prey of a malevolent creature that can possess him at will, and who desires not just Elena's blood but her death.

A comprehensive emission inventory of biogenic volatile organic compounds in Europe: Improved seasonality and land-cover
- DOI: 10.5194/acp-13-1689-2013
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) emitted from vegetation are\nimportant for the formation of secondary pollutants such as ozone and\nsecondary organic aerosols (SOA) in the atmosphere. Therefore, BVOC\nemission are an important input for air quality models. To model these\nemissions with high spatial resolution, the accuracy of the underlying\nvegetation inventory is crucial. We present a BVOC emission model that\naccommodates different vegetation inventories and uses satellite-based\nmeasurements of greenness instead of pre-defined vegetation periods.\nThis approach to seasonality implicitly treats effects caused by water\nor nutrient availability, altitude and latitude on a plant stand.\nAdditionally, we test the influence of proposed seasonal variability in\nenzyme activity on BVOC emissions. In its present setup, the emission\nmodel calculates hourly emissions of isoprene, monoterpenes,\nsesquiterpenes and the oxygenated volatile organic compounds (OVOC)\nmethanol, formaldehyde, formic acid, ethanol, acetaldehyde, acetone and\nacetic acid. In this study, emissions based on three different\nvegetation inventories are compared with each other and diurnal and\nseasonal variations in Europe are investigated for the year 2006. Two of\nthese vegetation inventories require information on tree-cover as an\ninput. We compare three different land-cover inventories (USGS GLCC,\nGLC2000 and Globcover 2.2) with respect to tree-cover. The often-used\nUSGS GLCC land-cover inventory leads to a severe reduction of BVOC\nemissions due to a potential miss-attribution of broad-leaved trees and\nreduced tree-cover compared to the two other land-cover inventories. To\naccount for uncertainties in the land-cover classification, we introduce\nland-cover correction factors for each relevant land-use category to\nadjust the tree-cover. The results are very sensitive to these factors\nwithin the plausible range. For June 2006, total monthly BVOC emissions\ndecreased up to -27% with minimal and increased up to +71% with\nmaximal factors, while in January 2006, the changes in monthly BVOC\nemissions were -54 and +56% with minimal and maximal factors,\nrespectively. The new seasonality approach leads to a reduction in the\nannual emissions compared with non-adjusted data. The strongest\nreduction occurs in OVOC (up to -32%), the weakest in isoprene (as\nlittle as -19%). If also enzyme seasonality is taken into account,\nhowever, isoprene reacts with the steepest decrease of annual emissions,\nwhich are reduced by -44% to -49%, annual emissions of monoterpenes\nreduce between -30 and -35%. The sensitivity of the model to changes in\ntemperature depends on the climatic zone but not on the vegetation\ninventory. The sensitivity is higher for temperature increases of 3K\n(+31% to +64%) than decreases by the same amount (-20 to -35%). The\nclimatic zones ``Cold except summer{''} and ``arid{''} are most\nsensitive to temperature changes in January for isoprene and\nmonoterpenes, respectively, while in June, ``polar{''} is most sensitive\nto temperature for both isoprene and monoterpenes. Our model predicts\nthe oxygenated volatile organic compounds to be the most abundant\nfraction of the annual European emissions (3571-5328 Gg yr(-1)),\nfollowed by monoterpenes (2964-4124 Gg yr(-1)), isoprene (1450-2650 Gg\nyr(-1)) and sesquiterpenes (150-257 Gg yr(-1)).\nWe find regions with high isoprene emissions (most notably the Iberian\nPeninsula), but overall, oxygenated VOC dominate with 43-45% (depending\non the vegetation inventory) contribution to the total annual BVOC\nemissions in Europe. Isoprene contributes between 18-21 %, monoterpenes\n33-36% and sesquiterpenes contribute 1-2%. We compare the\nconcentrations of biogenic species simulated by an air quality model\nwith measurements of isoprene and monoterpenes in Hohenpeissenberg\n(Germany) for both summer and winter. The agreement between observed and\nmodelled concentrations is better in summer than in winter. This can\npartly be explained with the difficulty to model weather conditions in\nwinter accurately, but also with the increased anthropogenic influence\non the concentrations of BVOC compounds in winter. Our results suggest\nthat land-cover inventories used to derive tree-cover must be chosen\nwith care. Also, uncertainties in the classification of land-cover\npixels must be taken into account and remain high. This problem must be\naddressed together with the remote sensing community. Our new approach\nusing a greenness index for addressing seasonality of vegetation can be\nimplemented easily in existing models. The importance of OVOC for air\nquality should be more deeply addressed by future studies, especially in\nsmog chambers. Also, the fate of BVOC from the dominant region of the\nIberian Peninsula should be studied more in detail.

(Formerly) Local Record Review: 'Walt Wolfman' by Richard Swift
Richard Swift
Sure, it's been a while since Richard Swift was seemingly everywhere at once down in OC, but the combination of his move to Oregon to carry out studio work there and his current touring job with the Shins means he's been keeping busy despite the wrist injury that almost sidelined him a couple of years back--as well as continuing on with his own efforts, with the seven-songWalt Wolfman
being the first release under his own name for a little while. And it has to be said that for the name alone he would get credit, so he should write a novel while he's at it and clean up on theAbraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter
tip. Swift's love for the kind of smoky-atmosphered lounge-frug exercises that many remember from his stints at La Cave and elsewhere remains strong, as songs like "MG 333," his overdubbed and overlapping vocals in good call-and-response mode, not to mention swathes of echo, over a quick-paced hipshaking arrangement, show. His drumming there and throughout is top notch, bold and aimed at the groove rather than at showboating, backing up everything from the delicious garage-rock whine of "Out & About" to the more stately opener "Whitman."

Project LPR
- Status Closed
- Budget $250 - $750 AUD
- Total Bids 4
Project Description
Dear Mobile Apps Developing Freelancers,
I'm looking to have a something similar to "matrix pocket" android app. The preliminary project spec is similar to willpowersl 's (Project ID: 4559603). Nevertheless, please note that this project is only 1% part of our global project. We need this tiny project to achieve our mid/long-term synergy relations.
We are currently operating an Australia-wide LPR network with Samsung mobile phone handsets plus "matrix pocket" android app plus APPs to upload the log files to our central servers. We have multiple corporate chain customers using our information services. Now they are willing to invest into our business to tidy-up those band-aided solutions.
The Tiny APPs Project
Basically it's an android real time automatic licence plate recognition application.
The Objective
This Tiny APPs Project is for us the pay you to demonstrate your competences within the scope that we are seeking for. We have had effective but NOT yet efficient bundled solutions of Samsung mobile phone handsets plus "matrix pocket" android app plus APPs to fulfill our corporate customers' minimal expectations.
The application would
a. Watch constantly on the given scene (you might specify the requirement of the location setting for the mobile phone);
b. automatically detect a plate from the scene;
c. take the 8MP static photo of the detected plate;
d. Transmit the captured 8MP image via WIFI connection;
e. At the same time, transmit the GPS location via WIFI (and/or SMS) connection;
f. At the same time, logged the GPS location
g. At the same time, perform pattern recognition of the captured 8MP image (not the SD video image) within ASCII character set
h. Transmit the recognized number plate in text via WIFI (and/or SMS) connection.
i. At the same time, logged the recognized number plate in text plus time stamp and the GPS location locally.
j. You would worry about performing a check if it's listed in the database of expired plate number later as we have exiting band-aided solutions in place. The current bundled system has been the cash cow for attracting cooperate payments in subscription base. We will invite you to join our high-growth work team with reasonable pay plus share options.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: phranque
Several high-profile websites and services suffered over the weekend thanks to the leap second and huge storms.
An extra second added to the world clock saw the likes of Reddit and Foursquare fall over.
Hours earlier, a lightning storm on the American east coast left millions without power, and disrupted a major cloud storage data centre.
Netflix and Instagram were among the services affected.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) - the company's cloud computing servers - was in part taken out by the storm, as was its back-up generator.

text: My schedule has been a little crazed since Wednesday night, when I drove north to see "High School Musical 3." (See my review here.) I liked the original "HSM," was somewhat disappointed by the second and was really done with the third. Anyway, I have slowly been catching up on viewing, including "Survivor" and the sweet, sad "The Office" from last night, and hope to post something extensive later today.

Euro Path Set as Lower Rates Invigorate Carry TradersDavid Goodman and Andrea Wong
The euro, even after falling to its lowest levels since mid-2013 following the European Central Bank's interest-rate cuts yesterday, is poised to get even weaker based on differences in global borrowing costs.
Record-low rates in the euro zone will probably encourage traders to borrow in the region and invest the proceeds in economies with higher-yielding assets. All except one of the 44 potential carry trades funded in euros tracked by Bloomberg made money yesterday after ECB President Mario Draghi pushed the deposit rate further below zero, and said he would expand the money supply by purchasing asset-backed securities.
The latest decision by the ECB "cements the euro's position as a funding currency," Valentin Marinov, Citigroup Inc.'s London-based head of European Group of 10 currency strategy, said by phone yesterday. "What's important is that the ECB is the first major central bank which is not only pumping money into the economy, but also penalizing banks for holding it. That means they will have to buy other assets, meaning some of the cash will leave the euro zone in euro-funded carry trades."
Citigroup is joined by Pioneer Investment Management Inc. in recommending trades in which investors sell the euro to buy currencies of nations with higher rates. Jens Nordvig, a managing director of currency research at Nomura Holdings Inc., trimmed his forecast for the euro to $1.27 by month-end.
Deflation Fight
The currency was at $1.2948 at 12:29 p.m. New York time after dropping to $1.2920 yesterday, the lowest since July 2013. The currency is set for an eighth week of declines, the longest since it began trading in 1999.
The 18-nation currency tumbled 1 percent yesterday versus a basket of the dollar, yen, pound and six other major currencies as measured by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes, the biggest decline since May 2011. The euro gauge fell to 98.9301, the lowest since July 2013, and was at 99.19 today.
A weaker euro may be welcome for Draghi, who has signaled the need for a lower exchange rate to help stave off deflation and make the region more competitive. The euro-area inflation rate languished at 0.3 percent last month, a fraction of the ECB's 2 percent goal. The ECB said yesterday it expects gross domestic product to expand by 0.9 percent this year, below its previous forecast of 1 percent.
'Funding Currency'
"The ECB solidified the euro's status as a funding currency, perhaps making it even more attractive than the yen because deposit rates are negative," Paresh Upadhyaya, the Boston-based director of currency strategy at Pioneer Investment, which oversees $248 billion, said in a telephone interview yesterday. "People had a few choices coming into September, either ride the dollar trend, or to go the other way. Given the fundamental backdrops, it looks like currency investors are riding the rally."
The euro tumbled 1.4 percent last month against the basket of nine developed-market peers, the most since it fell 1.7 percent in March 2013, after Draghi said during an Aug. 22 symposium of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, that policy makers are prepared to add more monetary stimulus.
While Draghi's first job as ECB president after taking over in November 2011 was to stop the region's debt crisis from splintering the currency bloc, his focus has switched to preventing a slide into deflation. The Italian economist committed to buying asset-backed securities and covered bonds with the intention of funneling cash into an economy that stalled last quarter and where lending has shrunk for more than two years.
Higher Yielding
"While Draghi continues to show his progressive intent, the specific economic impact of the measures he has announced is likely to have less impact than will be delivered by the euro's reaction to his policy initiatives," Gregor Macintosh, head of sovereign, emerging debt and foreign exchange at Lombard Odier Investment Managers in Geneva, wrote in a note yesterday.
Lombard Odier is short on the euro, or betting on further declines, and considers emerging-markets to be attractive versus the currency.
The euro fell 1.8 percent against India's rupee and 1.7 percent versus the Malaysian ringgit yesterday. In carry trades, a decline in the funding currency or an increase in the target exchange rate adds to the return from the rate differential. India's central-bank rate is 8 percent.
Carry Trade
The carry trade is providing some solace for traders in the $5.3 trillion-a-day foreign-exchange market, who have seen returns squeezed by falling volatility. While UBS AG's V24 Carry Index has climbed more than 7 percent in 2014 and is set for its best year since 2009, the Deutsche Bank Currency Returns Index, which monitors gains by replicating trading strategies based on carry, momentum and valuation, is down on the year.
Draghi said yesterday the aim of all the ECB measures combined is to return the central bank's balance sheet to the level it was at the start of 2012. The ECB had about 2.7 trillion euros of assets then, when the euro traded as low as $1.2624, compared with 2.04 trillion euros now.
"The biggest takeaway is they want to bring the balance sheet back to 2012 level," David Woo, head of global rates and currencies in New York at Bank of America Corp.'s Merrill Lynch unit, said in a phone interview yesterday. "We've been forecasting $1.30 year-end. Right now, anything is possible. The risk is to the downside of our forecast."
BOJ Meeting
The Fed's assets total is $4.42 trillion, widening the difference with the ECB's balance sheet to a record $1.8 trillion. The Bank of Japan finished its meeting yesterday by maintaining its record debt purchases of 60 trillion yen ($570 billion) to 70 trillion yen a year.
"The euro and the yen are both very attractive as funding currencies, and the dollar has really dropped out of that category," Daniel Katzive, a director and head of foreign-exchange strategy, North America, at BNP Paribas SA in New York, said in a phone interview yesterday. "With U.S. data continuing to surprise on the upside this week, the combination is very powerfully negative for euro-dollar. We think the euro has a lot further to fall."
