text: Latest News Europe UK's Labour Party says that Trump's tariffs are 'based on a lie' Trump is one by one antagonizing his allies across the board Published 6 months ago on June 1, 2018 By Frank Sellers 2,514 Views Share Tweet With tariff exemptions having run out, meaning that many of America's trading partners are to face tariffs on their aluminum and steel, as of today, and many, including Canada, France, Germany, and others, having already condemned the tariffs and threatened countermeasures, as well as WTO disputes, Britain is also a part of that list. Responses range from calling Trump's logic 'based on a lie' to 'stupid'. The BBC reports: The UK must not allow President Trump to "bully" his trading partners, the shadow international trade secretary has said, amid fears of a looming trade war over US tariffs on metals imports. Labour's Barry Gardiner said the move to impose levies on aluminium and steel from Europe was "based on a lie". He said the government and EU should work "decisively" on counter-measures. International Trade Secretary Liam Fox said he hoped the US would think again and "tit-for-tat" action was an option. The tariffs of 25% on steel and 10% on aluminium, which affect the EU, Canada and Mexico, come into effect on Friday. Mr Trump first announced the plans in March but granted some exemptions while countries negotiated. He justified the tariffs by arguing that US producers are vital to national security and were threatened by a global supply glut. Mr Gardiner said Washington's claims that the tariffs were necessary to protect its own national security were "based on a lie". He said Europe needed to show it would not be "cowed" and should pursue "proportionate" action through the World Trade Organisation. "We believe in a multilateral rules-based system," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. President Trump does not. He wants to break up that system. "We have to see this as part of a pattern of behaviour and respond strongly to it and make clear to him we are not susceptible to the intimidation, threats and bullying that he is putting in place." Leaders from other affected nations reacted furiously, setting out tariffs on the US, ranging from steel to sleeping bags and ballpoint pens. International Trade Secretary Mr Fox said the move was "disappointing", adding "in the case of the United Kingdom, where we send steel to the United States that is vital for their businesses and their defence industry, it is patently absurd". He said he would speak to US commerce secretary Wilbur Ross on Monday but added the UK "absolutely do not rule out counter-measures". 'Stupid' Former Conservative trade minister Lord Maude said the tariffs were "stupid and counterproductive" and would only hurt US consumers. But he warned the government against doing anything " stupid and unreasonable ourselves" in response. According to UK Steel – the body which represents steel producers across the country – 7% of steel exports, worth £360m, go to the US. About 31,000 people across the UK work in steel production and many more in the supply chain. There are steel mills in north-east and northern England, the East Midlands and Wales. Tata Steel, which employs 8,500 people across the UK, including 7,000 in Wales, has called for "swift and robust action" in response to the steel tariffs. UK exports of aluminium to the US are tiny, but in March the UK's Aluminium Federation said it was concerned about the impact 10% tariffs could have. Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns spoke to the First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones, about the tariffs. A Welsh government spokesman said: "The Secretary of State gave assurances that the UK government is fully committed to reaching a successful resolution." Trump's administration seems to be unmovable on the matter of the tariffs, as nation after nation has sought relief from the tariffs, condemned the action, and threatened retaliatory responses. Trump is one by one antagonizing his allies across the board. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

Published 1 day ago on December 10, 2018 By RT Via RT… The UK is free to unilaterally revoke a notification to depart from the EU, the European Court has ruled. The judicial body said this could be done without changing the terms of London's membership in the bloc. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) opined in a document issued on Monday that Britain can reverse Article 50, which stipulates the way a member state leaves the bloc. The potentially important ruling comes only one day before the House of Commons votes on Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal with the EU. #ECJ: UK is free to unilaterally revoke the notification of its intention to withdraw from the EU – Case C-621/18 Wightman #Brexit pic.twitter.com/KUOI2eQ48C — EU Court of Justice (@EUCourtPress) December 10, 2018 "When a Member State has notified the European Council of its intention to withdraw from the European Union, as the UK has done, that Member State is free to revoke unilaterally that notification," the court's decision reads. By doing so, the respective state "reflects a sovereign decision to retain its status as a Member State of the European Union." That said, this possibility remains in place "as long as a withdrawal agreement concluded between the EU and that Member State has not entered into force." Another condition is: "If no such agreement has been concluded, for as long as the two-year period from the date of the notification of the intention to withdraw from the EU." The case was opened when a cross-party group of British politicians asked the court whether an EU member such as the UK can decide on its own to revoke the withdrawal process. It included Labour MEPs Catherine Stihler and David Martin, Scottish MPs Joanna Cherry Alyn Smith, along with Green MSPs Andy Wightman and Ross Greer. They argued that unilateral revocation is possible and believe it could provide an opening to an alternative to Brexit, namely holding another popular vote to allow the UK to remain in the EU. "If the UK chooses to change their minds on Brexit, then revoking Article 50 is an option and the European side should make every effort to welcome the UK back with open arms," Smith, the SNP member, was quoted by Reuters. However, May's environment minister, Michael Gove, a staunch Brexit supporter, denounced the ECJ ruling, insisting the cabinet will not reverse its decision to leave. "We will leave on March 29, [2019]" he said, referring to the date set out in the UK-EU Brexit deal. In the wake of the landmark vote on the Brexit deal, a group of senior ministers threatened to step down en masse if May does not try to negotiate a better deal in Brussels, according to the Telegraph. The ministers demanded that an alternative deal does not leave the UK trapped within the EU customs union indefinitely. On Sunday, Will Quince resigned as parliamentary private secretary in the Ministry of Defense, saying in a Telegraph editorial that "I do not want to be explaining to my constituents why Brexit is still not over and we are still obeying EU rules in the early 2020s or beyond."

Published 1 day ago on December 10, 2018 By Federico Pieraccini Authored by Federico Pieraccini via The Strategic Culture Foundation: On November 25, two artillery boats of the Gyurza-M class, the Berdiansk and Nikopol, one tugboat, the Yany Kapu, as well as 24 crew members of the Ukrainian Navy, including two SBU counterintelligence officers, were detained by Russian border forces. In the incident, the Russian Federation employed Sobol-class patrol boats Izumrud and Don, as well as two Ka-52, two Su-25 and one Su-30 aircraft. Ukraine's provocation follows the advice of several American think-tanks like the Atlantic Council, which have been calling for NATO involvement in the Sea of Azov for months. The area is strategically important for Moscow, which views its southern borders, above all the Sea of Azov, as a potential flash point for conflict due to the Kiev's NATO-backed provocations. To deter such adventurism, Moscow has deployed to the Kerch Strait and the surrounding coastal area S-400 batteries, modernized S-300s, anti-ship Bal missile systems, as well as numerous electronic-warfare systems, not to mention the Russian assets and personnel arrayed in the military districts abutting Ukraine. Such provocations, egged on by NATO and American policy makers, are meant to provide a pretext for further sanctions against Moscow and further sabotage Russia's relations with European countries like Germany, France and Italy, as well as, quite naturally, to frustrate any personal interaction between Trump and Putin. This last objective seems to have been achieved, with the planned meeting between Trump and Putin at the G20 in Buenos Aires being cancelled. As to the the other objectives, they seem to have failed miserably, with Berlin, Paris and Rome showing no intention of imposing additional sanctions against Russia, recognizing the Ukrainian provocation fow what it is. The intention to further isolate Moscow by the neocons, neoliberals and most of the Anglo-Saxon establishment seems to have failed, demonstrated in Buenos Aires with the meeting between the BRICS countries on the sidelines and the bilateral meetings between Putin and Merkel. On November 30, following almost two-and-a-half months of silence, the Israeli air force bombed Syria with three waves of cruise missiles. The first and second waves were repulsed over southern Syria, and the third, composed of surface-to-surface missiles, were also downed. At the same time, a loud explosion was heard in al-Kiswah, resulting in the blackout of Israeli positions in the area. The Israeli attack was fully repulsed, with possibly two IDF drones being downed as well. This effectiveness of Syria's air defenses corresponds with Russia's integration of Syria's air defenses with its own systems, manifestly improving the Syrians' kill ratios even without employing the new S-300 systems delivered to Damascus, let alone Russia's own S-400s. The Pantsirs and S-200s are enough for the moment, confirming my hypothesis more than two months ago that the modernized S-300 in the hands of the Syrian army is a potentially lethal weapon even for the F-35, forbidding the Israelis from employing their F-35s. With the failed Israeli attack testifying to effectiveness of Russian air-defense measures recently deployed to the country, even the United States is finding it difficult to operate in the country. As the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War confirms: "Russia has finished an advanced anti-access/area denial (A2AD) network in Syria that combines its own air defense and electronic warfare systems with modernized equipment. Russia can use these capabilities to mount the long-term strategic challenge of the US and NATO in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East, significantly widen the geographic reach of Russia's air defense network. Russia stands to gain a long-term strategic advantage over NATO through its new capabilities in Syria. The US and NATO must now account for the risk of a dangerous escalation in the Middle East amidst any confrontation with Russia in Eastern Europe." The final blow in a decidedly negative week for Washington's ambitions came in Buenos Aires during the G20, where Xi Jinping was clearly the most awaited guest, bringing in his wake investments and opportunities for cooperation and mutual benefit, as opposed to Washington's sanctions and tariffs for its own benefit to the detriment of others. The key event of the summit was the dinner between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump that signalled Washington's defeat in the trade war with Beijing. Donald Trump fired the first shot of the economic war, only to succumb just 12 months later with GM closing five plants and leaving 14,000 unemployed at home as Trump tweeted about his economic achievements. Trump was forced to suspend any new tariffs for a period of ninety days, with his Chinese counterpart intent on demonstrating how an economic war between the two greatest commercial powers had always been a pointless propagandistic exercise. Trump's backtracking highlights Washington's vulnerability to de-dollarization, the Achilles' heel of US hegemony. The American-led world system is experiencing setbacks at every turn. The struggle between the Western elites seems to be reaching a boil, with Frau Merkel ever more isolated and seeing her 14-year political dominance as chancellor petering out. Macron seems to be vying for the honor of being the most unpopular French leader in history, provoking violent protests that have lasted now for weeks, involving every sector of the population. Macron will probably be able to survive this political storm, but his political future looks dire. The neocons/neoliberals have played one of the last cards available to them using the Ukrainian provocation, with Kiev only useful as the West's cannon fodder against Russia. In Syria, with the conflict coming to a close and Turkey only able to look on even as it maintains a strong foothold in Idlib, Saudi Arabia, Israel and the United States are similarly unable to affect the course of the conflict. The latest Israeli aggression proved to be a humiliation for Tel Aviv and may have signalled a clear, possibly definitive warning from Moscow, Tehran and Damascus to all the forces in the region. The message seems to be that there is no longer any possibility of changing the course of the conflict in Syria, and every provocation from here on will be decisively slapped down. Idlib is going to be liberated and America's illegal presence in the north of Syria will have to be dealt with at the right time. Ukraine's provocation has only strengthened Russia's military footprint in Crimea and reinforced Russia's sovereign control over the region. Israel's recent failure in Syria only highlights how the various interventions of the US, the UK, France and Turkey over the years have only obliged the imposition of an almost unparalleled A2AD space that severely limits the range of options available to Damascus's opponents. The G20 also served to confirm Washington's economic diminution commensurate with its military one in the face of an encroaching multipolar environment. The constant attempts to delegitimize the Trump administration by America's elites, also declared an enemy by the European establishment, creates a picture of confusion in the West that benefits capitals like New Delhi, Moscow, Beijing and Tehran who offer instead stability, cooperation and dialogue. As stated in previous articles, the confusion reigning amongst the Western elites only accelerates the transition to a multipolar world, progressively eroding the military and economic power of the US.

Who gets to define what words and phrases protected under the First Amendment constitute hate — a catchall word that is often ascribed to any offensive speech someone simply doesn't like? Published 1 day ago on December 10, 2018 By The Duran Authored by Adrian Cohen via Creators.com: Silicon Valley used to be technology companies. But it has become the "morality police," controlling free speech on its platforms. What could go wrong? In a speech Monday, Apple CEO Tim Cook said: "Hate tries to make its headquarters in the digital world. At Apple, we believe that technology needs to have a clear point of view on this challenge. There is no time to get tied up in knots. That's why we only have one message for those who seek to push hate, division and violence: You have no place on our platforms." Here's the goliath problem: Who gets to define what words and phrases protected under the First Amendment constitute hate — a catchall word that is often ascribed to any offensive speech someone simply doesn't like? Will Christians who don't support abortion rights or having their tax dollars go toward Planned Parenthood be considered purveyors of hate for denying women the right to choose? Will millions of Americans who support legal immigration, as opposed to illegal immigration, be labeled xenophobes or racists and be banned from the digital world? Yes and yes. How do we know? It's already happening, as scores of conservatives nationwide are being shadow banned and/or censored on social media, YouTube, Google and beyond. Their crime? Running afoul of leftist Silicon Valley executives who demand conformity of thought and simply won't tolerate any viewpoint that strays from their rigid political orthodoxy. For context, consider that in oppressive Islamist regimes throughout the Middle East, the "morality police" take it upon themselves to judge women's appearance, and if a woman doesn't conform with their mandatory and highly restrictive dress code — e.g., wearing an identity-cloaking burqa — she could be publicly shamed, arrested or even stoned in the town square. In modern-day America, powerful technology companies are actively taking the role of the de facto morality police — not when it comes to dress but when it comes to speech — affecting millions. Yes, to date, those affected are not getting stoned, but they are being blocked in the digital town square, where billions around the globe do their business, cultivate their livelihoods, connect with others and get news. That is a powerful cudgel to levy against individuals and groups of people. Wouldn't you say? Right now, unelected tech billionaires living in a bubble in Palo Alto — when they're not flying private to cushy climate summits in Davos — are deciding who gets to enjoy the freedom of speech enshrined in the U.S. Constitution and who does not based on whether they agree with people's political views and opinions or not. You see how dangerous this can get — real fast — as partisan liberal elites running Twitter, Facebook, Google (including YouTube), Apple and the like are now dictating to Americans what they can and cannot say online. In communist regimes, these types of folks are known as central planners. The election of Donald Trump was supposed to safeguard our freedoms, especially regarding speech — a foundational pillar of a democracy. It's disappointing that hasn't happened, as the censorship of conservative thought online has gotten so extreme and out of control many are simply logging off for good. A failure to address this mammoth issue could cost Trump in 2020. If his supporters are blocked online — where most voters get their news — he'll be a one-term president. It's time for Congress to act before the morality police use political correctness as a Trojan horse to decide our next election. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

DivX DVD Players and Anime
I finally bought a DivX DVD player yesterday, Philips brand, and it seems to work okay except that... for most of my anime, it doesn't quite fit the screen, and half the subtitles are cut off. There is a zoom feature where I can zoom in and out, but only x2, x4, x8, and that makes the screen too small. If there were a better DivX player out there that allowed me to zoom out progressively, to, say x1.25 or something...
Anyway. Does anyone know if there are any DivX players out there that are better suited to anime?

Your DVD player is fine. The problem you are having is overscan. You can either re-encode your anime to fix this problem or reduce how much your TV overscans.
You should look at this thread for the first solution: Convert AVI/MKV/MP4 to DVD .
If you own a relatively new HD TV, it might have a built in picture option called 1:1 mapping that should eliminate the overscan. For older tvs you can try to find the service menu and re-adjust the overscan. The side affect of re-adjusting the overscan is that you might see garbage on the edges of the screen when watching TV stations (The reason why TV cut off part of the picture).

Wow, that zoom future is really limited. My Panasonic DVDS42S has continuous zooming, never once had the forementioned subtitle problems. I think the price is around the same, along with the (new?) Sony DVP-NS63P. At least at my local Bestbuy or Futureshop. I wish there're DVD players that could play all the containers from the computer. =/

I had the same problem with my Phillips DivX player when using composite video cables. I switched to component cables and it played perfectly.
The DVD player is very useful since it has a USB input. All I do is plug in a USB harddrive or a thumbdrive to watch most anime.

Are there DVD players (not home entertainment computer systems) where you can update the firmware so it can support H.264/AAC within MKV files for example ? The one I have doesn't even know DivX >_> Only WMV/WMA/MP3/MPEG-2. (Samsung thingy).
Any idea where I can order such device if it exists?

I have an old 27" CRT TV and it cuts off a lot at the bottom. I'm looking for a Divx player where you really have freedom of choosing the size so the subs arn't cut off.
I use the Toshiba SD-3990 which is pretty good. Maybe 75% of fansubs arn't cut off although many are very near the bottom. My TV is abnormal, so for others it might be more like 95%.
If anyone can recommend the best Divx player where I can adjust the size I'd be very grateful, I don't mind the price as long as its not over $100. I'll look into the Panasonic DVDS42S.
[edit]- I can't find Panasonic DVDS42S, where do you buy it? Is it only sold in Canada?

You'd be surprised how little H.264 is used outside of our little anime world. There's some suggestion that it might appear some day in cable/satellite HD distribution, but that's all still mostly vanilla MPEG2 like traditional DVDs, or slowly moving to MPEG4 like DirecTV's new HD offerings. Most things I see that aren't in AVI are in WMV. Matroska is practically non-existent as a container format, and even the mp4 container seems pretty rare still.
@OP: Can you tell us what types of files you're having problems with, and what type of TV you have? Before I bought an HDTV, I was playing anime with my LG player that also supported XviD. Animes in the 640x480 format almost always suffered from having the subtitles cut off; ones in 16:9 formats didn't suffer the same fate. Eventually I learned how to rescale the 480p videos and center them in a black box so the subs appeared correctly.

I got a Samsung Ar650 DVD Recorder with DivX playback. It was only $99.99 on Newegg.com.
So far its worked very nicely, has a built in HDTV Tuner also and you can record normal and HDTV. Only thing it lacks is a USB port which for me doesn't really matter.
And yes its re-certified but mine looks and works like its brand new so you can't complain.

In what format does it record HD content? Will it store 720p or 1080i/p programs in their native formats? Will it record on double-sided DVDs? (Sorry to ask; I found it hard to determine the specs of this device, even on Samsung's site.) While I'd prefer H.264 encodes in mp4 containers for portability, DivX is a good, though proprietary, alternative. Can you write a DVD in DivX, or just write standard DVDs? DivX on a double-sided DVD could probably store even long programs like sporting events at 720p.

Not sure if I was any help but try googling the Ar650 you may find more info that way, I mostly use it for small recordings and playing burned/rented DVD's. It also has a built in HD Tuner so if your TV is LCD and HD Ready you can get free HD channels and record them.
Also if your unfamiliar with Newegg.com they have a 30 day return policy so if you wanted to try it out for yourself and send it back if its not what you want.

This is why I didn't bother getting a dedicated DVD player, opting to build an HTPC instead. You then have many more options, right down to which OS you're going to run.
However, don't let that stop you from picking something up. In my case, I'd consider picking up a PS3 if I were to get a dedicated piece of hardware that's not a normal computer.

Neither Ogg (Vorbis) nor FLAC are industry standards, but they are pulling their own on lots of hardware now. Being an "industry standard" doesn't really have much to do with it. If the format is popular enough and the public show positive feedback toward it...it will one day be part of hardware somewhere. Thus something you can actually buy and use.
As popular as MKV is as a so called third party container, I think it has more then enough chance to one day get hardware support. It's not as though the devs are not trying to help move it along. And there is always CoreCodec, which is essentially the business front for any Matroska dealings. I think if you were to attempt to predict the future, it has a much better chance of making it then not. Just looking at current trends of other formats, it would be pretty ignorant to think otherwise.
Looking at DivX, it is certainly not an industry standard. It was a very cutup implementation of one...however far from obeying the specs of the standard (which is what everyone claims they are ghey for) in certain instances. It has tons of hardware support now simply from overpopular usage. Not because it was a standard, but simply because a large number of people were using it...likewise a large number of people would buy products with support for it. Same for hardware that plays Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, and Windows Media (it's not an "industry standard" by the same rules omigosh omigosh). In fact I have seen an increasing number of hardware devices which now play .SRT subs and even .SSA! Being an "industry standard" is nothing important. Hell there was a time when horrible fucking vendors even added OGM support to certain models if it contained Xvid at certain settings. How krayzie is that? Fucking OGM "pseudo-support" existed in hardware devices at one time :3. The most non-documented format you can get.
Popularity is really what determines if something will get hardware support. However if it is something which is popular but at the same time actually has an ordered set of documentation/specification of how the format works, that should just be an instant plus. Matroska is far from some random format some people just decided to make because they were bored. It was well planned and thought out beforehand. It still even has some vaporware goals to make good on, so it's not as though there is no room for growth. One day Matroska...one day!!!

Philips DVP3962/37B Divx dvd player
I'm reviving an old thread with a new question.
I recently bought a Philips DVP3962/37B Divx dvd player.
Some of my anime plays perfectly. Some (H264 and such) won't play at all and some will play the sound track but no video. Sometimes it will say "This resolution is not supported."
I need to convert some anime to a different format but I'm not sure about the next step.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance for any help.

The onset of the controversial state mandated teacher evaluation system has made retirement the hottest subject among educators. If every teacher who has thought aloud about this topic actually followed through, there would be teacherless classrooms from one end of the state to the other.
The good news is, educators are not leaving in droves. "They can't retire until their contract expires, and that doesn't occur for the most part until June 30," said John Cardillo, spokesman for the New York State Teachers' Retirement System.
Spurred by a retirement incentive program in 2011, 8,423 eligible teachers retired, but the number of retirement applications dropped to 6,033 in 2012, when the incentives no longer were available, Cardillo said.
Still, teachers are feeling the pressure. The federal and state governments' efforts to overhaul the educational system have thrown more challenges at them than ever before.
"What we continue to hear about is anxiety about the state's overreliance on standardized testing, which is narrowing the curriculum and increasing pressure to teach to the test at the expense of real learning," said Carl Korn, a spokesman for the New York State United Teachers.
Not only do teachers find themselves under rigorous evaluation, but they're also being asked to teach to new curriculum standards in math and English. To complicate matters, many of their State Education Department-approved lesson plans were not available until weeks after school began, because the state was running behind schedule.
As their students undergo more testing, teachers realize they're now being tested themselves because the outcomes count toward their own performance scores.
The majority of today's teachers with 30 years of experience can retire at age 55 with full benefits. Many quit before they get that far. Studies show that in recent years, teacher turnover in some urban areas approached 50 percent for teachers with 5 years of experience or less and about 10 percent in suburban districts.
As a former substitute teacher for three school districts, I feel some of their pain. At the risk of sounding corny, some teachers have described their work as a "noble calling." I've seen teachers transform young lives. Everyone has a bad day and is entitled to vent. Lately, educators have had more than their fair share. It's my hope all the talk about retirement and quitting is just talk. My message to teachers: Remember why you got into education in the first place.

Nvidia 'Focus Group' Member Details Hidden Program Image courtesy of
For the record, while there are certainly "Manchurian Fans" being hired to promote products in the games and/or gaming hardware world, Nvidia and AEG have both clearly denied that they have hired stealth marketers to create personas to promote Nvidia products. We have no reason not to believe them and have stated that elsewhere on the site, but am putting it up again just to outline it. (Naturally, we'd like to know who is hiring these stealth marketers, so feel free to pass on anything regarding this you feel germane.)
For the record, while there are certainly "Manchurian Fans" being hired to promote products in the games and/or gaming hardware world, Nvidia and AEG have both clearly denied that they have hired stealth marketers to create personas to promote Nvidia products. We have no reason not to believe them and have stated that elsewhere on the site, but am putting it up again just to outline it. (Naturally, we'd like to know who is hiring these stealth marketers, so feel free to pass on anything regarding this you feel germane.)
When we first wrote the story we were led to believe that something along these lines was occurring. Mr. Perez's four day silence after his last reply saying, essentially, that it'd be easier/better for him to discuss this on the phone seemed like he wanted to avoid the questions entirely. (He never called or returned further emails, even the one I sent on Friday saying I was planning on running my story on Monday.)
There's a very good post on the Beyond 3d forums posted tonight where an Nvidia Focus Group member posted details of the program and his participation in it. The program sounds pretty great. Soliciting opinion from your customers is something we whole-heartedly encourage.
But why was the Focus Group program hidden?
AEG states in a statement to Shacknews that "The names of those individuals whom we solicit opinions from are not made public in order to assure the quality and honesty of feedback from consumers." Isn't it fair to the peer group of the Focus Group participants to know that their trusted source happens to get free gear from Nvidia?
The point isn't that the program is inherently bad. It's that hiding the program is both a disservice to their customers and leads to assumptions that other, more nefarious programs could be going on.
At one point in our post-story phone conversation, Mr. Perez—after spitting out the stock-standard, "Hi, nice to talk. Expect to hear from my lawyers," routine—tried to 'educate' us about the way that PR was changing in the internet age. Because so much marketing is done via word-of-mouth recommendations these days, he explained, it was important for Nvidia to "reach out" to the community and take advantage of the enthusiasm of their most hard core fans to act as liasons and "their voice" in the community.
What he didn't seem to understand (and maybe he could get his lawyers to help explain it to him) is why the customers who aren't part of the Focus Group might want to know who was in the program, so they could know who to trust. Until The Consumerist posted this story yesterday, was the Nvidia Focus Group even publicly acknowledged at all? If it's so innocent and innocuous, why not?
We never had to ask if our TV was lying to us, because we know it does. We don't go out for beers or talk about games with our radios. These days, with direct contact with their customers, marketing initiatives have to be transparent else risk alienating their base. Every time a company interacts with the community, they have a responsibility to put all their cards on the table. PR is changing, but it's changing because the customers are smarter and more connected than they used to be.
Mr. Perez posed this question to us: If a customer goes to the store and purchases an Nvidia product, then writes a review of the product online, is the opinion any less valid than when the customer receives the product for free? We feel the answer is obvious. That Mr. Perez sees no conflict of interest is a testament to his and Nvidia's poor grasp on the changing nature of consumerism.
We encourage Nvidia and AEG to retool their Focus Group program to be fully transparent. Trust in your customer's ability to make an informed decision. We can handle it.

Industries Regulation
As of 2011, conventional hydroelectric plants provide 78,600 megawatts of generating capacity. Pumped storage projects provide an additional 22,000 megawatts of capacity.
Ownership of this hydroelectric generating capacity is divided as follows:
- 50 percent is federally owned;
- 25 percent is privately owned; and
- 25 percent non-federal publicly owned (for example irrigation districts, cities, and water districts).
The Commission has no authority over any federally owned hydroelectric projects. However, it regulates privately and publicly (non-federal) owned projects through a total of 1,022 licenses and 641 exemptions.
FERC-regulated hydroelectric projects are found in all states except for Delaware, Mississippi, North Dakota, and Hawaii. The leading states in hydroelectric power generation are California, Massachusetts, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.
Many FERC regulated hydroelectric projects are under 100 megawatts. However, the largest privately owned conventional hydroelectric project in the U.S. is the 1,166-megawatt Hells Canyon project on the Snake River near Adam County, ID and Baker County, OR. The Idaho Power Company has operated the project over 50 years.
The largest operating non-federal, publicly owned conventional hydroelectric plant is the 2,755-megawatt Robert Moses-Niagara project operated by the New York Power Authority at Niagara Falls, New York. The largest conventional hydroelectric project owned by the federal government is the Grand Coulee project on the Columbia River in north central Washington with a capacity of 7,079 megawatts.

Allow a Vote on Unemployment Benefits
Crucial support for people fallen on hard times
Judge Greg Mathis | 4/16/2014, 11:45 a.m.
On Dec. 28, 2013, more than 1.3 million Americans lost their Emergency Unemployment Insurance benefits. The program allowed individuals who have lost their jobs to receive additional unemployment benefits for up to 47 weeks.
The critical question on this issue is whether or not America should maintain its commitment to a robust social safety net for our nation's working class families and other Americans that have fallen on hard times. It is the same ongoing debate between Republicans and Democrats in Congress over programs such as Social Security, the Supplemental Nutrition and Assistance program (food stamps), and other forms of social assistance.
Republican leaders regularly criticize government support to working class families, but defend tax credits and government sponsored programs to benefit the wealthy.
Billionaire Warren Buffett once stated that due to tax policies that favor the rich, his effective tax-rate of 17.4 percent was lower than his secretary's 35.8 percent rate.
A recent study by the National Priorities Project found that America's top earners will receive an average tax cut of over $66,000 dollars while the bottom 20 percent receives an average of $107 dollars. The wealthy can write off loan interest payment for vacation homes, get special tax treatment on capital gains and certain inheritance assets, and large corporations use tax shelters to hide trillions in earnings.
At a time when the average CEO makes almost 300 times more than his or her employees, I think it would be an unconscionable and callous decision for politicians in Washington to keep chipping away at America's social safety net.
If Republican's are serious about reducing America's deficit they should focus on restructuring our nation's tax system, which strongly favors rich individuals and large corporations - we should not downsize America's social safety net.
Conservatives often demonize our nation's social programs by arguing they make people lazy and discourage them from working, but the facts do not support this. Opponents of social programs have used limited cases of illegal fraud and abuse to misguide some American's into believing most people receiving social assistance are cheating the system.
The truth is that unemployment support is temporary and only available to individuals who are actively looking for work. In addition, individuals who receive emergency unemployment assistance are only eligible to receive up to one half of their previous income and this amount is often less due to state caps on overall support. These payments only account for a fraction of what individuals would typically earn.
Unemployment insurance benefits provide crucial support to hard working people who have temporarily fallen on hard times, allowing them to feed their families and keep their homes as they search for work.
Families across our country have been waiting since January for politicians in Washington to pass an extension of unemployment benefits and last week the Senate passed legislation to extend the program. The bipartisan bill will extend unemployment benefits for almost three million Americans.
Unfortunately, House Speaker John Boehner has indicated he will not allow members in the House of Representatives to vote on the bill, which would certainly pass. At the same time, Congress is set to approve several extensions on corporate tax breaks. This is wrong and we must stand up to members of Congress that are obstructing an unemployment insurance extension. Call Speaker John Boehner's office and tell him to do the right thing.
Judge Greg Mathis is known for his advocacy for equal justice. His inspirational life story of a street youth who rose from jail to Judge has provided hope to millions who watch him on the award-winning TV court show Judge Mathis.

Espanyol defender Joan Capdevila believes that his side can pose problems for Barcelona this weekend in La Liga.
The Catalans have been in fine form this season and have conceded just two points from their 17 matches played so far.
In contrast, Espanyol are third from bottom with just 15 points to their name.
However, Capdevila, who is a World Cup and European Championship winner with Spain, is optimistic of his side's chances when they meet Barca at Camp Nou.
"Barcelona are the leaders in the table and are away ahead of the rest. But, some day they will have to lose. They will not always win," Capdevila told Marca.
"We are very conscience of the team we face, they are having a great moment and they are a great team. But, eventually they will concede points and we will try to make them cede some points this Sunday.
"It will be a difficult and complicated task and because of this we will confront them with maximum concentration and knowing all the while that it is possible to take points and win at Barcelona."
Following Espanyol's disastrous start to the season, Javier Aguirre was brought in to replace Mauricio Pochettino at the end of last year and after three draws and one win under their new boss, Capdevila is hopeful that his side's fortunes are taking a turn for the better.
"We have started to see the light at the end of the tunnel but the road ahead is long and difficult," he said.
"A good result against Barcelona will help to push us up the table, but there will still be much more work to do. However, a win will be a great boost."

Like pieces on the board
And my quest for peace is what made me a warlord, dig it?
Spit bars exquisite
No lies, I live it
No telling which island I plan to inhibit
Laid up with a bad bitch, choking on a cigar real far
Feeling stout pussy by the seashore
Smoking jacket and more broads

Hide the body, I got that hammers that hate you
Extended clips that's ungrateful

I'm just hoping your necklace is tasteful

No alarm clock could ever wake you

Now that I'm home i can do a full report.
The way to Mt Dandenong scared the living sheet outta me, well, half of it. The first part was all relaxing and stuff but the second part was truly terrifying. The cars were literally passing by with 1mm of space left between us, i had to ride on the gravel in fear of being knocked over. Oh, I was on Canterbury road.
When I got to Mt Dandenong Tourist Road, everything got a lot better. The cars were less aggressive and the climb was magnificent.
I started to pant, well, semi-pant about half way up there (dont judge me )
It was my first time going up a "proper" mountain, so I was kinda shocked by the scenery
When I got to the top, I was quite literally freezing despite the fact I've been riding for like an hour or so. I didn't bring any arm warmers or jacket cause I didn't in ANY WAY expect that the temperature would drop so dramatically. I then decided to have my lunch to warm myself up, BIG mistake. As most of you would do, I went to the cafe with the most cyclists so I can be more confident with leaving my bike out there.
I had a sausage roll and a latte and to be honest, the roll was sheet. The coffee was good though
Remember how I said it was a big mistake? Well here you go. On the way down, i swear to god it was like -500 degrees, the water molecules in my skin was literally hardening my skin to a level where I cant even move my arms ( exaggeration applied )
On the way down (still), i decided to go via Mountain Highway (1 in 20) to reach the bottom instead of continuing on Tourist Road and GOD I WAS SHOCKED. You probably already know why, but if you don't, let me tell you. Descending through it was like descending in the French Alps, the roads were smooth, the scenery was staggering, theres hardly any cars and the best of all, the corners was just... Ummm, find a word yourself .
The way back was a lot better than the way to Mt Dandenong, probably because it not really a main road.
Heres a link to my ride
btw, I'm 13, be nice
Good work Wilson.
I get the same feeling riding down Canterbury Rd. to the Dandenongs and now I only go via Mountain Hwy. I've found it to be a lot better; less cars and they tend to give you more space. The only time I ride down Canterbury Rd. is early Sunday morning with my cycling club.
I know what you mean by freezing on the way down. I always bring arm warmers whenever I go into the mountains.
I did 155km on Sunday from Warburton -> Lake Mountain -> Marysville -> Mt Donna Buang -> Warburton. Long ride but very enjoyable.
Have you tried getting there via Whitehorse road/maroondah highway?
It's a lot better than Canterbury.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KPTM) - A California man was arrested Tuesday after Lancaster County sheriff's deputies say they found marijuana in a large teddy bear during a traffic stop on Interstate-80.
Sheriff Terry Wagner says deputies saw the bear in the car but noticed he smelled like more than honey and decided to cut him open. That's when he says they found the pot.
Leon Chesney Sr., 49, was booked for possession of marijuana with intent to deliver.
The teddy bear is "in custody for having four pounds of marijuana concealed within," Wagner said in jest.
He says they staged the photo of the bear in handcuffs due to the humorous nature of the crime.
The traffic stop took place at around 1:15 p.m. near Mile Marker 394.

The ability to run both console and graphical programs securely on a remote system using SSH brings you a great deal of freedom. When the communications link to that remote system has high latency, however, running interactive programs such as a text editor on the remote machine can become a real test of your patience. The bcvi project lets you edit files on a remote system using gvim (or another editor) on your local desktop machine to avoid the latency.

How budgets work
It's important to choose a budget that you're comfortable with. AdWords Express will use that budget to help you get the most high-quality clicks possible.How your budget is calculated and allocated per month
With AdWords Express, you set a maximum monthly budget. If you set an average daily budget, we'll multiply it by 30.4, the average number of days in the month to come up with your maximum monthly budget:
|Average daily budget
|Maximum monthly budget
Your average daily budget is the average amount you could spend each day. The actual amount that your ad spends can vary depending on how popular the ad is each day. But, don't worry—the total amount that you spend in a month won't exceed your maximum monthly budget.
If you receive fewer clicks than you've budgeted for, then you'll only be charged for the clicks you received. For example, if you set a maximum monthly budget of $50, but you receive only $13 of clicks, you'll be charged only $13.
What happens if you change your budget
If you increase your budget in the middle of a billing period, the maximum amount that you'll be charged for that month will be:
Your new average daily budget X the number of days remaining in the month
If you set your new average daily budget to $10 on January 11, you'll spend a maximum of $220 for the remaining 22 days of January.
Keep in mind
Your maximum monthly budget for February and the rest of the calendar year will be different from your January budget.
When you create your AdWords Express ad, we'll recommend budgets based on the average click volume for your business type and your location. But of course, you can always specify your own budget.
When you enter your budget in AdWords Express, the budget slider will show your monthly budget to the nearest round number.
You can also try the AdWords Express budgeting tool to see recommended budgets for your location and the type of product or service your business offers.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when setting your budget for multiple ads or locations:
Multiple ads
If you decide to run multiple ads for your business, each ad has its own budget. Together, the budget for each ad will add up to your total AdWords Express budget.
Jack owns a musical instrument store and decides he wants to advertise both the piano and the guitar departments. He creates a piano ad with a $30 daily budget and a guitar adwith a $20 daily budget. Assuming his budgets don't change, Jack's total average daily budget will be up to $50 ($30 + $20).
Multiple locations
If you are advertising multiple businesses or business locations on AdWords Express, you'll set a separate budget for each ad that you create.
Sarah owns three pet stores in Oklahoma. She creates separate ads for each store, each with an average daily budget of $30. Assuming her budgets don't change, Sarah's total average daily budget will be up to $90 (3 X $30).

If you're thinking about taking an early IRA withdrawal, watch out. Unless you meet certain requirements, you could wind up paying about half of it back to the IRS.
Fortunately, there's new guidance this year that spells out the rules.
It's tempting to use the nest egg you've already saved to pay for big expenses. But the costs for doing so add up fast. A "Tax Tip" published by the Internal Revenue Service lists many of the technicalities.
The main problem is that payments you get from an IRA (formally called an "individual retirement arrangement" by the IRS) before you reach age 59 ½ are considered early distributions. And the taxable portion of an early distribution from a traditional IRA is generally subject to an additional 10% tax – on top of whatever income tax you owe already for withdrawing tax-deferred savings.
"Combined, the tax and penalty can result in the erosion of up to half the value of the distribution," according to a recent post in The Slott Report.
With such steep taxes, it's worth considering a home-equity loan as an alternative to an early IRA distribution, especially since the loan interest may be tax deductible.
There are situations, however, in which the government waives the penalty, such as when you buy your first home, incur certain medical or educational expenses, or become disabled.
You may also qualify if you take what are called "substantially equal periodic payments," or 72(t) payments, but you have to be careful to stick to your payment schedule – or risk, again, getting dinged with penalties.
And the exceptions to the rule have limits. First-time homebuyers, for example, cannot use more than $10,000 in IRA savings. You can use early withdrawals to pay for unreimbursed medical expenses only if they are more than 7.5% of your adjusted gross income.
And to qualify for the disability exception, a doctor must determine that the disability is fatal, or at least expected to last a long time.
For more information, go to the IRS's website and look up Publication 590, "Individual Retirement Arrangements."

The Martin Luther King holiday gives us a chance each year to take stock of how far we have come along the path toward King's dream.
The Martin Luther King holiday gives us a chance each year to take stock of how far we have come along the path toward King's dream.
It also gives us a chance to see how much farther we have yet to travel.
Today, for instance, we will see history made once again as President Barack Obama is sworn in for his second term of office.
Obama is the first black president of the U.S., and he won re-election in November.
Those facts show that at a certain level, our American society has learned to look beyond race, at least as a prerequisite for presidential service.
In fact, many areas of our modern society would surprise King if he could see us now.
Gone are the legal impediments to full political participation.
Sadly, though, some conditions would look familiar to him.
There has been precious little progress in many places when it comes to integrating black and white worlds.
Our neighborhoods and churches, for instance, remain stubbornly separate.
And while there have been great strides toward equality, there are still some staggering reminders of how far short of King's goal we remain.
There are gaps between white income and black income, white unemployment and black unemployment, white prison populations and black prison populations.
And the list goes on.
Today, though, is not so much about reminding ourselves of our shortcomings in addressing our lingering challenges.
Instead, it is about celebrating the memory and legacy of an American hero who actually tried — through peaceful means — to correct these horrible injustices.
He was fighting against centuries of oppression, a legal system that had him arrested, investigated and imprisoned and an American public that was largely ambivalent to his cause.
He persevered because his cause was just, and we are still reaping the rewards of his persistence and his bravery.
Today is an excellent day to look around and remind ourselves of how far we have come.
As Obama is inaugurated for the second time, we can take pride in some accomplishments since King implored us to judge one another based on the content of our character rather than the color of our skin.
While there is still much to be done in pursuit of that dream, King's words still remind us of the perfection toward which we can all stride.

Organizers of the annual Delaware Veterans Stand Down event are trying to help the estimated 700 homeless veterans in the Diamond State become familiar with the housing, social services and other benefits available to them.
Organizers of the annual Delaware Veterans Stand Down event are trying to help the estimated 700 homeless veterans in the Diamond State become familiar with the housing, social services and other benefits available to them.
This is the fourth year for the event in Dover, organizers said.
Veterans Stand Down originated in San Diego in the late 1960s, where many homeless veterans had located. It had since grown to a nationwide, grassroots, intervention program designed to help the nation's estimated 172,000 homeless veterans combat life on the streets.
Organizers are scheduled to deploy vans and buses to pick up veterans from locations in New Castle, Kent and Sussex counties and bring them to American Legion Post No. 2 in Dover on Friday, Oct. 5, said Delaware Stand Down spokesman Joe Donofrio.
During the Stand Down, veterans will receive all kinds of help, from haircuts and dental work, to housing and even jobs, said Donofrio, of Smyrna.
There will even be child support counseling since Delaware Stand Down has learned that some veterans became homeless because they could not afford child support payments, Delaware Stand Down Executive Director Liz Byers-Jiron said.
"The sad thing is that they won't reach out for help," said Executive Director Liz Byers-Jiron, of Greenwood. "So, we reach out to them. And some veterans will not come out of the woods even when you tell them, look at what you're entitled to."
Fellow Stand Down volunteer Roe Donofrio, Joe's wife, speculated that several veterans were content to remain homeless because they had been rebuffed so many times before.
"They're afraid to get pushed back against the wall or knocked down again," she said. "You have to take them by the hand and say, you can do this. With the veterans coming back from Afghanistan, it's only going to get worse."
Byers-Jiron's husband, Bill Jiron, said homeless veterans could be found sitting out in the woods, Laundromats and in the doorways of businesses.
"Whatever's open — that's where they'll be staying," he said.
That made it all the more important to organize a central event that would tell veterans what benefits they were entitled, too.
And the term veteran is defined as anyone who served in the military, not just those sent overseas to war, he said.
Veterans' issues are close to the organizers. Joe Donofrio is a veteran of the U.S. Army. Jiron is a U.S. Air Force veteran. Byers-Jiron, for her part, was a civilian employee for the U.S. Navy.
"It takes a concentrated effort by a lot of people," Joe Donofrio said.
Organizations and agencies scheduled to participate in the Stand Down include the Delaware Department of Labor and all state agencies that deal with veteran's issues, the Wilmington VA Hospital, the Food Bank of Delaware and several other nonprofit organizations.

Lymphatic obstruction is a blockage of the lymph vessels that drain fluid from tissues throughout the body and allow immune cells to travel where they are needed. Lymphatic obstruction may cause lymphedema, which means swelling due to a blockage of the lymph passages.
Alternative Names
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The most common reason for lymphatic obstruction is the removal or enlargement of the lymph nodes.
Causes of lymphatic obstruction include:
- Infections with parasites such as filariasis
- Injury
Radiation therapy
- Skin infections such as
cellulitis(more common in obese patients)
- Surgery
In Western societies, one of the most common causes of lymphedema is removal of the breast (
Rare forms of lymphedema that are present from birth (congenital) may result from problems in the development of the lymphatic vessels.
The main symptom is persistent (chronic) swelling, usually of the arm or leg.
Signs and tests
The doctor will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history.
The following tests may be done:
CTor MRIscan Lymphangiography
- Lymphoscintigraphy
Treatment for lymphedema includes:
- Compression (usually with multilayered bandages)
- Manual lymph drainage (MLD)
- Range of motion exercises
Manual lymph drainage is a light massage therapy technique in which the skin is moved in certain directions based on the structure of the lymphatic system. This helps the lymph fluid drain through the proper channels.
Treatment also includes skin care to prevent injuries, infection, and skin breakdown, as well as light exercise and movement programs. Exercise should be carefully designed by your doctor and a physical therapist. It should help drainage without leading to swelling, which could make your condition worse.
Wearing compression stockings on the affected area or using a pneumatic compression pump on and off may be helpful. Your doctor and physical therapist will decide which compression methods are best.
Surgery is used in some cases, but it has limited success. The surgeon must have a lot of experience with this type of procedure. You will still need physical therapy after surgery to reduce lymphedema.
Types of surgery include:
- Removal of abnormal lymphatic tissue
- Transplant of normal lymphatic tissues to areas with abnormal lymphatic drainage (less common)
Rarely, the surgeon will bypass abnormal lymph tissue using vein grafts. These procedures are not usually successful and are often done experimentally.
Expectations (prognosis)
Lymphedema is a
In addition to swelling, the most common complications include:
- Chronic wounds and
- Skin breakdown
You must be vigilant about skin care and hygiene. There is also a small risk of developing a lymph-tissue type of cancer.
Calling your health care provider
See your doctor if you have swelling of your arms, legs, or lymph nodes that does not go away.
Most surgeons now use a technique called sentinel lymph node sampling to reduce your risk of lymphedema after breast cancer surgery. However, this technique is not always appropriate or effective.

MADISON, Wis. (Blugolds.com) - UW-Eau Claire men's hockey player Ross Janecyk (Sr.-Grand Rapids, Mich./Catholic Central), men's swimmer Corey Groshens (So.-St. Louis Park, Minn./Hopkins) and women's swimmer Casey Preissel (Sr.-Wisconsin Dells, Wis.) have been named Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) Athletes of the Week, Assistant Commissioner for Media Relations Matt Stanek announced today.
Janecyk recorded a hat-trick in the Blugolds' 6-3 victory over 14th-ranked UW-River Falls on Saturday. While the Blugolds were up 1-0 after the first period, Janecyk kicked off a second period that saw four Blugold goals. He opened scoring in the period at 8:51 on a power-play and after a short-handed goal by River Falls less than two minutes later, he found the back of the net again at 16:24. Five seconds before the game's final buzzer, he recorded the hat-trick with an empty-net goal.
Groshens was part of two first place finishes as the Blugolds defeated UW-Oshkosh 102-44 on Saturday. Groshens had a first place finish in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:02.33 while he was part of the winning 400-yard medley relay team and finished with a season-best split in his portion. He also had the top time in the 200-yard breaststroke with a mark of 2:16.78.
Preissel won the 200-yard freestyle and was part of the winning 400-yard medley relay team as the Blugolds defeated UW-Oshkosh 117-29 on Saturday. She finished with a time of 1:59.67 in the 200-yard event while the 400-yard medley relay won with a mark of 4:15.94. She also led off the 800-yard freestyle relay team that finished with the best time, while she finished with a season-best split in her portion. She also had the second best time in the 100-yard freestyle.

Economist: Job Wage Growth Still Needs to Recover
PNC Financial Chief Economist Gus Faucher joins WSJ's analysis of the June employment picture and points out, despite good news regarding non-farm payrolls, there are areas for improvement.
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
... the the ... welcome back to the new sub reiterating our headline from today's the unemployment rate has is unchanged for June at seven point six percent ... but nonfarm payrolls jumped one hundred and ninety five thousand in June as a lot more than a hundred sixty thousand ... that economists had been expecting speaking of economists we've got PNC Chief Economist ... Gus O'Shea Joinus now custom morning ... morning your impression of the number one is that ... there is all in over not only did we get a kitten over for June we got substantial upward revisions April and May ... seventy thousand net of ... combine the two months ... I'm in the unemployment rate held steady but you gotta make a big increase the labor force in a steep increase in household employment number ... so overall a very solid report I think this ... may be forces at the expense in a little bit ...

I want to see what happens but by taking a BBQ this as indicating that tapering may be taking place a little bit sooner than they thought ... so here I think that the skeptic marker reaction may be negative in spite of the fact that it's a very solid report ... any good overall indicator for the U S economy ... you know and and one s in other thing inside the report I notice that we mentioned average hourly earnings ... up about ten cents to two twenty four dollars in a penny ... oh for the year ... average hourly earnings are up about two point two percent which means you really I ... remind you that that seems like it's keeping pace with inflation ... so ... that that's that's the sad news as well correct ... I mean it didn't affect inflation over the past year to hear what you measure uses that she did a little but what's in that so ... wages are increasing with inflation but certainly we'd like to see stronger wage growth ... I've incomes took a hit during the recession ... I didn't they've recovered in nominal terms but adjusted for inflation still a very good ... so it'll be in a flat rate is still a seven point six percent it's a difficult time that's your boss for a ... wage increase ... by as you mentioned earlier a lot of that job growth is taking place in lower wage industries so we will wait to see stronger wage growth I think it's the takes time until we see that the ... rate ... consistently below seven percent that all but certain but some offer ... with a few gasoline stay there I wanna bring back Spencer Jacob was in the newsroom Spencer one of these in the report ... I think what's interesting to look at him in the what what everyone wants to talk to gauge this jobs report and this is different than of another expansions is what is going to do the festival is usually ... when you're ... five years ... the the Fed is the pedal to metal that's what makes this expansion completely different than the others ... now on ... the Ben Casselman of the Wall Street ... had an interesting piece we looked at ... the Atlanta Fed's of website where they haven't talked to that we can be a screenplay that economists and you can put in ... differ parameters labor participation rate ... of non farm payrolls growth and unemployment rate in you Kjos for two of the variables to get the third one ... was that the number that the Fed is looking at ... is the sort of though the clunky just of the three D which is the of the headline unemployment rate which is its deal of stock at seven point six percent and two numbers there that you wanna pay attention to what is six point five percent ... which is their of their stated target in the ... FOMC minutes ... to get access to the lesson than seven per upper sent to certain to hold ... off on buying in ... this space a minute of it we support the last report we were on ... track to get to seven percent by next June this probably speeds up a bit ... on if we don't have further increases in the Libor to station rate which kind of innovative at perversely act as a ... as a headwind to that ... um and and that's what people the bond market sending the stock market a word about these things ... ok Spencer thank you so much for joining us time to come back to God's best pushing PNC Chief Economist Gus I'm curious in a plea on the spot now in your prediction on when the Fed ... ends its bond buying program first ... well ... I expect them to start reducing their purchases in October and I expect them to wrap it up around this time next year saw around the middle of two thousand and fourteen ... one factor that may cause them to pull back a little bit it's tough to get inflation is still well below their targets up about ... one percent year over year gains in the PC deflator which is their preferred price Mr. ... I'm you know they wanna see stronger inflation it in a number of Fed officials said that's the reason to hold off on starting a backup of bond purchases ok guess pushing PNC Chief Economist asymmetry running this morning ... thank you
