Of Camels And Ducks
I am an emotional duck. Or maybe a swan.
You know that saying about how ducks and swans are seen to be gliding along the surface of the pond, all smooth and elegant, serene and calm, while underneath the water their little legs are going like crazy to keep them going?
Yeah, well that's me and my emotions.
And you combine that with all the camels that make up my life and I feel like all my backs are getting broken by these tiny little things that shouldn't matter but then they're just the tipping point and it's no wonder I feel like I'm sitting here not even knowing how to explain myself. (And can't help but wonder why it feels like so much straw is getting thrown my way lately.)
However I was raised, or whatever it is that hurt me or made me wary I am who I am at this moment and I'm not sure that that person is capable of holding good solid relationships.
My Mom tells me that even as a child I would only have one close friend. I wouldn't have said that about my childhood if you'd asked me, but that's how she sees it.
I think what I see myself as doing, as being, is protective of myself. And wary of being hurt and left.
Or perhaps more to the point, of people choosing someone else over me.
Because that's what happens.
A best friend would find a new friend or a friend who lived closer or a friend who played on their team or was in their class and that new friend would get their attention and I'd fade into the background until someone else would want to spend time with me and share their stories and secrets.
There was a while there where I had a good solid group of friends, but I moved away for a year and when I got back they'd moved on and I was never really able to reconnect with anyone in quite the same way; I was always just slightly on on the outside.
My friends now have all moved on in their own way too. They've all married, many of them have had kids and it moves you to the outside; to the periphery.
And so maybe all this pre-loads my camels with so much straw on their backs that it doesn't take much for me to be hurt, for that back to get re-broken and no, I don't know why I'm built this way so no, I don't know how to change it.
Some people are good at that. C-Dawg's good at that. She can recognize where she has walls up or is working from past hurts and she can call herself on it and try to fix it.
I don't even know where I'm coming from half the time.
Case in point? This weekend.
C-Dawg made a comment about the way I was reacting to her new relationship and I was completely surprised. It's not the first time lately that I've been spoken to about how people are perceiving me so I tried to see where I may have made her feel that way and I apologized.
But the things with my damn camels is that the straw just seems to stick there. It's not like it blows itself back off once I've dealt with the issue, and so then suddenly we're dealing with something that's not even about what it's about.
C-Dawg wants to move forward with her running whereas I don't, exactly. I kind of just want to stick at where I'm at while maybe getting a little bit faster and increasing my cardio. But generally, I want to stick at "still enjoying it" and "middle of the pack."
I understand and respect her desire to push herself and know exactly how she feels. I'm just not there.
Which should be totally fine, right? Absolutely. I want to be the one on the sidelines cheering her on as she zips by in her fourth marathon.
Except for my damn camels.
Because all of a sudden it's not about her wanting to run faster and father than I do, it's about her not wanting to be with me anymore.
It's about our lives going in separate directions.
I'd wanted running to be "our" thing and all of a sudden I see her slipping away and moving on with a life that doesn't include me. A life that includes a new boyfriend and her son and their lives together and her running both literally and figuratively away from me.
Which isn't what it's about.
C-Dawg just wants to run.
But here's the thing with me and my little duck legs.
Because I know when she tells me that she wants to join a clinic I can't make it to that the absolute sadness that comes over me isn't about the clinic. I just can't get to what it is about so I withdraw.
And C-Dawg notices.
Most people don't. Most people just see the duck, floating along, serene and calm. They don't realize what's going on and how twisted and anxious and hurt I am on the inside.
She notices damn fast.
And this time it sort of feels like our wires got crossed and as I sit here writing this I feel like I'm sitting here waiting for one of the people I care most about in the world to write me an email saying she's done with me.
Because that's how it's worked for me in the past.
That's the straws and the baggage and the scars and whatever other metaphors you can come up with.
People leave me.
Friends move on. Boyfriends break up with me. And now, with my Dad being sick, the reality becomes that parents die.
I've somehow learned that keeping people at a safe distance helps. Helps the hurt to hurt less. So it's such a risk for me to have a close friend when that opens up the potential to be left.
And hurt.
But I don't know what to do.
I don't know if I'm supposed to just babble out every little thing I'm upset about or if I'm supposed to wait until I'm calmer.
I've been fighting myself this weekend, fighting the urge and the habit to push C-Dawg away because that's usually what I do in this situation. I see the situation turning in some way and feel the potential for me to get really really hurt so I push away first.
And I've been trying not to do that. Am trying to grow here.
But I feel like my duck legs and my straw-backed camels screwed me over and how many times can you ask someone to be patient? How many times can you ask someone to understand you when you don't even understand yourself.
I don't know what I should do. Do I keep people at that safe distance and just live with the alone that comes with that? Or do I let people in and be inevitably hurt and disappointed because we're all only human and no one can read my mind.
Perhaps I am an incredibly selfish and self-involved person. Because sometimes I feel like the world should revolve around me damnit. I sometimes get to a point where I feel like I've given so much to so many and at the end of the day it's still just me taking care of me and watching out for me, when what I'd like is someone in my life taking care of me the way I try to take care of my loved ones. But I think my loved ones don't know how to take care of me sometimes because I'm scared to tell them what I need.
I'm scared to tell them because they might say no, or they might roll their eyes, or they might leave me, so I sit and I wait and I hope and I send them mental brain waves and hope that they read my mind because isn't it clear that my little legs are flailing away just under the surface of the water here?
Isn't it clear that my camels are already over loaded and I need help un-packing them?
Isn't it clear that I still haven't learned to find myself really, truly, honestly to be someone people would choose to love.
I think I've always wanted to be first in someone's life, but I'm really starting to think that maybe I'm not someone who will ever have that.
Or maybe you'll tell me that that's not actually how it works.

Today is the United Nations' International Day of Older Persons - see http://www.un.org/en/events/olderpersonsday/ - the websites notes that "By 2050, 2 billion people, over 20 per cent of the world's population, will be 60 or older. The increase in the number of older people will be the greatest and the most rapid in the developing world, with Asia as the region with the largest number of older persons, and Africa facing the largest proportionate growth. With this in mind, enhanced attention to the particular needs and challenges faced by many older people is clearly required. Just as important, however, is the essential contribution the majority of older men and women can continue to make to the functioning of society if adequate guarantees are in place. Human rights lie at the core of all efforts in this regard." Bill Johnston and I are giving a presentation at the forthcoming Global Media and Information Literacy conference about Age-Friendly Media and Information Literacy (#AFMIL) - specifically age-friendly MIL cities. We are also considering setting up a blog around the theme of #AFMIL, so watch out for that!

Once again this year, Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton tax experts had the opportunity to share their observations with different media (in French) regarding the federal budget tabled on February 11, 2014.
This outreach once again is proof of the firm's professionalism and influence throughout Québec and the Ottawa and Edmundston areas, particularly through the speedy publication of a tax bulletin and a press release, as soon as the lock-up was lifted.
Here are some interviews conducted by the firm's tax specialists:
Tax Partner Luc Lacombe, who attended the budget lock-up, gave interviews to several Québec radio stations. Among the interviews conducted by Luc Lacombe, we should mention those given to:
- 101.5 FM with host Jean-François Routhier, aired February 11 in Sainte-Marie-de-Beauce
- Planète Radio 99.5 FM with host Patrick Bourget, broadcast February 11 in Saguenay
- Rouge FM 94.7 and NRJ 102.3 FM, same interview aired on the February 12 newscasts in the Mauricie and Centre-du-Québec regions.
Mr. Lacombe also acted as a spokesman for CPA Canada on the CPAC show Revue politique (go to 16:40 minutes, and more specifically, to 19:40 minutes for Mr. Lacombe), broadcast the evening the budget was tabled.
Tax Partner Sylvain Gilbert granted four radio interviews:
- Radio-Canada Première with host Réjean Blais, aired February 11 in the Estrie region
- Passion Rock 101.9 FM with host Marc Bossé, broadcast February 12 in the Victoriaville region
- O 97.3 FM Le meilleur de la musique with host Jason Caron, aired February 12 in the Chaudière-Appalaches, Estrie and Centre-du-Québec regions
- Passion Rock 105.5 FM with host Jean-Hugo Savard, broadcast February 12 in the Chaudière-Appalaches region
In addition, the Regional Vice-President for the Eastern Townships, Réal Létourneau, participated in a round table organized by the newspaper La Tribune, along with other decision-makers from the region. Two articles were published in this regard, a more general article on the budget and another on workforce training.
Finally, the press release and the post-budget tax summary were publicized, in particular, on the websites of Québec hebdo, Yahoo Finance and the newspaper L'Avantage du Bas-St-Laurent, as well as Conseiller.ca.

Within the context of a consultation conducted by Industry Canada on science and technology, Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton decided to submit recommendations to the federal government, in view of its keen interest in research and development issues and its solid expertise in this field. To further ensure the sustainability and competitiveness of Canada's businesses, Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton is convinced that the federal government has every interest in investing more and better in innovation.
For many years, the firm has supported companies operating in Quebec and in the Ottawa and Edmundston areas to determine the projects and activities that particularly satisfy the criteria of the Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) Tax Incentive Program.

MONTRÉAL, February 11, 2014 – Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton is proud to release its post-budget tax bulletin again this year with the objective of providing the public with abridged, easily understandable and relevant information about the main tax measures that will apply to individuals and businesses in the coming year.
"The dual objective to this document prepared by a team of tax specialists during the lock-up is to promote the prompt dissemination of the tax changes announced and prepare a concise reference for taxpayers to help them avoid unpleasant surprises," stated Jean Gauthier, Partner and National Tax Leader.
To view the post-budget tax bulletin, go to: www.rcgt.com/en/2014-federal-budget.
Staying the course towards a balanced budget
The Economic Action Plan 2014 tabled today does not include any new taxes on families and businesses. It would appear that any reductions in individual tax burdens are being postponed. Balancing the budget next year will generally rely on freezing departments' operating expenses. The Harper government projects that the deficit will decline in 2014–2015, to generate a surplus of $6.4 billion in 2015-2016.
"We'll have to wait until next year to see the 'real' budget, given the projected budget surplus and election context," stated Tax Partner, Luc Lacombe. "Some of today's measures will foster employment and support growth, such as the Canada First Research Excellence Fund and additional investments in the Canada Accelerator and Incubator Program to help entrepreneurs create new companies and realize the potential of their ideas through intensive mentoring," Lacombe went on to say.
Tax equity and business transfers: the continuity of our businesses depends on the resolution of this issue
For the past three years, Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton has been applying pressure on the federal government and the Finance Minister to make the business transfer process more equitable from a tax perspective.
"Given the pivotal role entrepreneurs play in our economic development, there is every reason to be concerned that the tax inequity regarding family businesses has not been resolved. Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton believes that if we are to prevent relocations, keep dynamic Canadian family business under the control of Canadians and help them achieve their full potential, tax legislation must be amended so that the capital gain on an intergenerational business transfer is no longer considered a dividend," stated Emilio B. Imbriglio, President and CEO.
"Unfortunately, it is always less beneficial for a Canadian business owner to sell the family business to a son or daughter than to a stranger," added Jean Gauthier. "In fact, at this time, the seller loses the benefit of the $800,000 capital gain deduction benefit, which is not the case when the business is sold to a third party," Gauthier explained.

Christian Hervik Bull (postdoc UiO) Neoplatonism and Hermetism in the Anthology of Stobaeus
Fyodor Bronnikov, Pythagoreans celebrating sunrise (1869)
På årets siste seminar vil Christian Hervik Bull holde et seminarinnlegg med tittelen "Neoplatonism and Hermetism in the Anthology of Stobaeus". Christian er religionsviter med PhD fra Universitetet i Bergen. Han har for tiden et såkalt mobilitetsstipend fra NFR nettopp for å forske på de hermetiske utdragene i Stobaeus. Et mobilitetsstipend innebærer at postdocen har to år ute og ett år ved en norsk institusjon. Christian har vært to år i Princeton og har nå et siste år hos oss ved IFIKK. Han har nettopp utgitt boken The Tradition of Hermes Trismegistus på Brill forlag.
The Hermetic writings were ostensibly written by the Egyptian god Thoth, known as Hermes Trismegistus in Greek. They were composed around the beginning of the Common Era, and were heavily influenced by Greek philosophy, in particular Platonism and Stoicism. Excerpts from these writings are found side by side with Greek philosophers, poets, and statesmen in the extensive anthology gathered by John of Stobi, commonly known as Stobaeus, a Macedonian active in the late fourth or early fifth century. This anthology became popular in Late Antiquity and the Byzantine Empire, and it is our only source of several ancient philosophical and poetical texts.
Although we know next to nothing about Stobaeus the man, an investigation of his use of the Hermetic excerpts and his chapter headings may illuminate the religious and philosophical milieu in which he gathered his anthology. I will argue that the most plausible backdrop of Stobaeus is the Athenian school of Neoplatonism before Proclus became its head, where it seems that the Hermetica played a central role that would later be taken over by the Chaldean Oracles. Stobaeus follows the Neoplatonic philosopher Iamblichus in making Hermes the first link of a philosophia perennis – an imagined tradition of ancient and divine Egyptian wisdom, ostensibly drawn upon by both Pythagoras and Plato. Contemporary Christian intellectuals such as Cyril of Alexandria and Augustine shared this view, but made Hermes the inheritor of Moses. Stobaeus thus makes use of Hermes in a competitive discourse about who was the first philosopher, the Egyptian Hermes or the Hebrew Moses.

|Lawrence Summers accepts the Butler
Award from the New York Association
for Business Economics, November 29.
On Friday, November 29, 2018 the New York Association for Business Economics NYABE) presented The William F. Butler Award to former Treasury Secretary Dr. Lawrence H. Summers, the President Emeritus of, and the Charles W. Eliot University Professor at, Harvard University.
Summers has been close to the center of the economics profession for his entire professional career. He was a strong candidate for the position of Chairman of the Fed under Obama before the President settled on Janet Yellen.
My notes on the lunch talk, which is on the record to the press, at the Cornell Club in New York City, follow. This is not a transcript; I did not use a tape recorder. The portions in quotes were more carefully written down, but may not be verbatim. The unnumbered questions in bold face were from Alan Goldman, the current President of the NYABE, of which I was President in 2002-2003.
I am glad to receive an award from business economists. The best opinions on the current economic outlook come from the business economics community. "I do not believe there is anywhere you can go on this planet than to business economists to get a better take on the business cycle."
What were your best calls as Secretary of the Treasury?
"I was quite good around the [2007-2009] fiscal crisis. I said what we fear most is the lack of fear among banks." "I said that banks were dangerously undercapitalized and needed an infusion of funds and a stimulus was in order."
"I said declaration of victory over green sprouts in 2009 was massively premature."
What were your worst calls?
Five years ago my call on China was not so good. It was premature.
I recommended in the 1990s that we help the Russians with their economy, using as an analogy the Marshall Plan. The Russian economy did not develop the way it did in Europe after WW2. My idea did not prove out.
In the mid-1990s and 2000s, I was wrong on my productivity projections.
The jury is still out on the secular stagnation theory for the US economy that I proposed in 2013 based on Alvin Hansen's work. Structural changes raised the saving rate, lowered the investment propensity. I said we needed more investment incentives. I was accused of recommending an "imprudent fiscal policy." The problem is we had a bubble at the end of the 1990s, then a recession after 2001, and then the Internet bubble. I felt we had to encourage more investment,

The problem is we had a bubble at the end of the 1990s, then a recession after 2001, and then the Internet bubble. I felt we had to encourage more investment,
Since 2013, fiscal policy has indeed been more expansionary and the Fed has been easier than the market had previously expected. Growth was harder to obtain. We had bigger bubbles, but less growth. I called it secular stagnation, a change that lowered the long-term rate of unemployment.
Real interest rates in Japan and Europe were even lower than in the United States. Growth continues to be low by historical standards. This supports the secular stagnation theory. I am more sure of it today than in 2013. What are the prospects for a recession? Over the next two years, I would say 50 percent, but I wouldn't argue with 35 percent. I would wonder at anyone projecting a probability of either as low as 15 percent or as high as 90 percent. The problem is that the Fed putting interest rates down to zero again is not going to help.
If I were Chairman of the Fed today, I wouldn't take a position much different from Jay Powell, so far, i.e., tending toward dovish. But I would differ in three ways:
If I were Chairman of the Fed today, I wouldn't take a position much different from Jay Powell, so far, i.e., tending toward dovish. But I would differ in three ways:
- I would focus on the 2 percent inflation target and I would observe that in the last ten years the Fed has always erred on the downside of this target. With only 3.7 percent unemployment, when if not now should we err on the upside?
- I would be sceptical of balance sheet manipulation. QE works only in the early stages or when it has signaling consequences. The cumulative impact of duration from debt offsets the QE. I would put less emphasis on balance sheet size.
- I would deemphasize the fetish for information provision and transparency. Stick with the "a strong dollar is in our national interest" mantra and deliver a consistent message, with less emphasis on disagreements within the FOMC.
Q1 (from the floor). What about the labor force participation rate? Americans are aging into retirement. More workers are more credibly facing competition from overseas, from robots [the Internet], from the gig economy.
Q2. Should the Fed go to negative interest rates? A negative rate is not likely to produce stimulus. They are "unworldly".
Q3. Could secular stagnation be overcome by innovation? I'm looking at demand, not supply side. I am agnostic about [Northwestern Professor] Bob Gordon's argument, which is supply side.
Q4. What will Trump tax reform accomplish? The reforms have helped the well off, but is financed by deficits and is therefore contractionary. Damages our ability to invest in infrastructure. Traffic congestion is terrible in NYC; took me 40 minutes to go 1.5 miles.
Q5. Should bankers have gone to jail after 2008? Stupidity is not a crime. By containing the crisis [bailing out the banks] we have had less populism that we would otherwise have had. "There must have been crimes" is not a credible claim. However, bankers were allowed to just resign rather than being made accountable. That was an error.
Q6. Are the tariffs and trade tensions slowing the world economy? Not so much that as the traditional cycle of fear and greed.
Q7. What topics in economics are not being studied enough? "Relative to its social importance, business economics is overemphasized." I would like to see more study of regional economics. What could public policy do, for example, in West Virginia? Also, structural questions need more study – creation of local infrastructure, development economics. This is insufficiently studied in the United States, in favor of financial topics.
Professor Summers is a careful and clear speaker; I am a long-hand and therefore selective note-taker. If I have misquoted or misinterpreted anything he said, please send a note to me at john [at] cityeconomist.com and I will look at it again.
In identifying his worst calls, Summers did not go back 19 years to his support of the 1999 Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. This lifted some of the restrictions on banks' involvement in insurance and investment services that were imposed in the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act. Glass-Steagall was a brilliant deal, part of the New Deal, that traded commercial bank deposit insurance for regulations of banks and other financial institutions to keep "shadow banks" from playing with government-insured deposits. Critics of Summers for his support of Gramm-Leach-Bliley include former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

1005 Gresham Avenue SE, Atlanta, 30316
Spectacular modern renovation in East Atlanta. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath all brick home is tucked away at the end of a dead end street and sits on a beautiful lot with a creek running along the back. This place has it all; rich hardwoods, bright open floorplan, designer kitchen with granite and stainless steel appliances, sunroom, master bath with rainfall shower, NEST thermostat and more. Home even sits on a full unfinished basement that's perfect for a music room or workshop and is stubbed for a bath. Located just down the street from all the restaurants, bars and entertainment that East Atlanta Village has to offer. Must see!
Seller says…
"Our home stays proud of its mid-century origins, but an open floor plan meets our urban need for space. The light filters the front room in the morning, making it feel like the house is waking up with you."
On first sight, our home promises a modern welcome set in a neighborhood rich with character. The owner before us was the only other keeper this house has ever known. Our neighbors spin tales of the children they raised next door, and love to point out what used to be where.
Our home stays proud of its mid-century origins, but an open floor plan meets our urban need for space. The light filters the front room in the morning, making it feel like the house is waking up with you. In the afternoon, cool greens shade the sun room. The seclusion of the backyard is a respite, and we've always liked the poetry of the great tree bending over our creek.
We love walking to East Atlanta Village — while being far enough away not to get swept up in the party. When the weather's warm, we walk for ice cream at Morellis. The East Atlanta Beer Festival in Brownwood Park's an easy stumble home every May, too. We're 15 minutes from Downtown ATL in tough traffic, and just over 20 to the airport when it's light. Starlight Drive-in is just down the road and absolutely worth it.
We were only here two years — just enough time to break a new house in. We landscaped the creek bank, waterproofed the basement, and had hoped to build a studio area there. That'll be your space, now, and we're jealous to know what you'll do with it!

It was a pleasure working with Marc. He took our needs/wants into consideration to locate a variety of properties. He went above and beyond to help us find the perfect home.Highly likely to recommend (via Zillow)
Marc definitely is an expert in Real Estate, especially In-town area. He is very professional, easy to talk to and he is with you during the whole process till the end and beyond. We purchased our home more than 2 years ago, but we always call him for an expert opinion.
You will enjoy working with him.Highly likely to recommend (via Zillow)
In January I referred Marc to a very dear friend who inherited her Aunt's 130 year old home. In weeks Marc had a contract, and then a back-up contract. Impressive; especially because the first two real estate agents my friend spoke with said that she should have the historic home demolished and sell the property as a parking lot. My friend adores Marc, and I appreciate the respect he brought to her family home.Highly likely to recommend (via Zillow)
Marc has the experience to see through the noise that is the local real estate market to get you not only the best price on selling your home but also the home that suits you best for you to then move in to. We know, we used him to sell and buy our last two homes.
The home we sold went under contract in 30 days if that tells you anything about his talent as a listing agent. The home we then bought was not only a perfect fit for us but was wanted by at least 3 other buyers the day after we had our offer in. Marc was quick and nimble in getting us through both the sale and buy. He brought a soothing calm when things got a little hectic. He negotiated with skill and got us the best prices on both sides of our deals. I would use Marc again but most of all I would recommend him to anyone that needed a savvy gentleman to help them with their real estate needs.Highly likely to recommend (via Zillow)
Marc knows the area (East Atlanta Village and surrounding neighborhoods) better than just about anyone. There are few houses that he hasn't stepped foot in! He knows the ups, downs and trends for each as he has been well connected with area residents, businesses, and community groups for quite some time.
I was a seller, but I believe that Marc is just what a buyer needs as well - a well informed, personable champion looking out for your best interests.Highly likely to recommend (via Zillow)
We had a great experience with Marc. We were particularly impressed with his knowledge of the neighborhoods we were interested in, including architectural styles and history. He understood what we were looking for and came up with smart ideas for finding it.Highly likely to recommend (via Zillow)
Marc is extremely knowledgeable about the intown Atlanta market and its quirks. He is a true professional and works hard to help his clients find the property that they want and need.Highly likely to recommend (via Zillow)
Marc knew the neighborhood I was interested in as well or better than anyone I've met, and lives there as well. His enthusiasm for the community and knowledge of micro-locations within it was incredibly helpful in moving through the process. Negotiations were fairly quick and easy and the process as a whole was as stress-free as I can imagine these things get.Highly likely to recommend (via Zillow)
My wife and I used Marc and just closed on our first home. He made the process easy from start to finish. We were working with a limited budget and he was able to find us exactly what we wanted in a great location. I would certainly recommend Marc to anyone looking to buy a house in the Atlanta area. His schedule is flexible (nights/weekends) and he really made us feel comfortable from the first time we met. Thanks Marc!!!Highly likely to recommend (via Zillow)
There aren't enough good things you can say about Marc and his team. We had a complicated closing and contract due to our house being a new build. I am so thankful we had an agent who was extremely experienced and knew what to do in every situation. Marc genuinely cared about our circumstances and our family more than "selling a home" and getting his cut.Highly likely to recommend (via Zillow)

Oregon�s Truman-MacArthur showdown had its denouement Monday, but its climax came earlier, when Richard Lariviere gave his commander-in-chief reason to believe he had been insubordinate.
Once Gov. John Kitzhaber concluded that the University of Oregon president would not follow orders, Lariviere was as good as gone. The state Board of Higher Education voted unanimously Monday to dismiss Lariviere in 30 days, six months before his contract expires.
Now, it�s time to repair the damage.
The damage is real. Lariviere is perceived on campus and beyond as a fierce advocate for the UO. His removal is seen as punishment for being effective in that advocacy.
Kitzhaber and the Legislature have said they want innovative leadership in higher education, and that�s what they got from Lariviere. The decades-long erosion of state support left a vacuum that Lariviere has sought to fill. Lariviere acted in his institution�s interests when others would not, and firing him is read as meaning that state officials� expectation of conformity trumps their rhetoric about excellence.
That perception, while not wholly inaccurate, is incomplete. Kitzhaber has a plan that aims to advance the quality of education throughout Oregon, and Lariviere�s efforts to secure the UO�s financial future through the creation of a public-private endowment were interpreted in the governor�s office as working at cross-purposes to the broader agenda. Kitzhaber has statewide responsibilities, and Lariviere�s decision to grant pay raises to administrators and faculty complicated the governor�s attempt to win state workers� acceptance of austerity.
Kitzhaber might have been able to endure a degree of public-policy free-lancing by the UO president, as long as it stopped short of being a challenge to the governor�s authority. But what was seen in Eugene as creativity was seen in Salem as defiance.
As Matt Donegan, president of the state higher education board, put it, Lariviere showed a �type of insubordination that would never be tolerated in the private sector.� Kitzhaber made the same point, comparing Lariviere to a division manager who placed his own department�s interests above those of the company as a whole.
The company as a whole, however, will fail unless its higher education division succeeds. Kitzhaber understands that � or says he does, his lackluster record in support of higher education notwithstanding. In his statement in support of the board, the governor said his education strategy includes �a world class, innovative system of higher education that delivers better results for students and serves as an engine for our state�s economic recovery.�
That sounds a lot like what Lariviere was trying to achieve. Kitzhaber and the board now must create confidence that their disagreement with Lariviere was over means, not ends.
Lariviere himself is urging his supporters to refocus their energies away from his employment status and concentrate instead on the UO�s future. In a letter e-mailed to faculty and staff, Lariviere said, �Your cause must be how institutions like the University of Oregon can be strong in a state with weak public resources.�
Lariviere did not back down from his view that the UO needs and deserves autonomy of the kind he was fired for attempting to exercise.
�Each individual university must be able to best organize resources, serve the state and meet its mission,� he wrote. An approach that �delivers conformity among institutions by applying the same fiscal and policy lens to all ... will not harness the unique strengths of each institution.�
Kitzhaber�s and Lariviere�s visions need not be in conflict. It should be possible to have an educational system that is well-coordinated statewide while encouraging innovation through local autonomy.
Kitzhaber has showed Lariviere who�s boss, just as President Truman showed Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Now, the governor and his board must prove that they share Lariviere�s goals, if not his methods of reaching them.
That will require a substantive commitment to higher education throughout Oregon.

Edited by Nicola Simpson, with new essays by Gustavo Grandal Montero, Rick Poynor, David Toop and Charles Verey, Notes from the Cosmic Typewriter offers a broad and richly illustrated introduction to this major artistic and theological figure.
Besides many of Houédards typestracts the concrete poems produced entirely with his Olivetti typewriter this book also includes examples of his lesser-known poem-objects, a selection of key texts, as well as never-before-published performance scores. In both his spiritual views and artistic output, Houédard stands out as a model of insatiable curiosity, building around him a vast network of enlightened poets, visual artists, performers, musicians and thinkers of all faiths and walks of life.

Waitrose & Partners has announced, in an official statement, that sales of their vegan and veggie products have increased by 85% compared to last year.
As a result of the growing demand for vegan and veggie options, Waitrose recently released a line of 25 meat-free products.
Waitrose To Sell Vegan Pizza Express Giardiniera
These include items such as Jackfruit Biryani, Vegan Mac & Greens and Mayonnaise Style Sauce.
Chloe Graves, Waitrose Chilled Vegetarian and Vegan Buyer, said in the statement:
"The growing appetite for meat-free dishes has been reflected throughout the year with rising sales of vegan and vegetarian products, as well as the introduction of exciting and delicious new products to the foodie market.
"In line with this growing demand, we're excited to have developed an exclusive range of own label vegan and vegetarian products to delight customers."
"The innovative dishes include complete meals for a quick and easy dinner, as well as staple side dishes, each proving that a vegan or veggie meal doesn't have to compromise on flavour."
Waitrose is not the only supermarket to be embracing meat-free options, with many others also expanding their vegan and veggie ranges.
Iceland recently expanded their popular 'no-bull' range, and Tesco has released new items within their Wicked Kitchen range.

King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz will be remembered for his relatively reformist mindset and bold foreign policy initiatives. But the Saudi leader's passing will have little to no impact on the Kingdom's future, especially given the set of increasingly difficult challenges the country will have to face at home and abroad.
Leadership matters, especially in the Middle East, where institutions are weak and often nonexistent. But charisma and talent, on their own, won't be enough to dig Saudi Arabia out of the profound generational problems that go beyond Abdullah, his successor Salman, or any leader who will preside over the Kingdom. Diversifying the economy, reducing unemployment, practicing good governance, further empowering women, combating the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), checking Iran's advances, improving relations with Washington, stabilizing Yemen, and leading the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)—to name just a few—will require team work.
Abdullah didn't try it alone, neither will the new king. If Salman is hoping for good results, he, with the help of his youngest brother, Prince Muqrin, whom Salman immediately appointed as the new crown prince, will have to create and manage a team of younger and more effective professionals who are in tune with the latest regional and global trends and know something or two about the demands of the twenty-first century. That, ultimately, is Salman's biggest responsibility. He is already 79 and not in the best condition (rumors of dementia are unproven but he does have other health issues), so he should use what could be a relatively short stint in office to lay the groundwork for the next generation of Saudi leadership. Even though Salman has barely spent 48 hours in his new position, he is indeed Saudi Arabia's past, not its future.
After all, although it was delivered via Twitter, one of Salman's first messages was that he would honor the economic policies of his predecessor. Salman is thought to be a reformer himself, having

Fans should brace themselves for "tragedy" in series four of Sherlock, the show's co-creator Mark Gatiss has warned.
Filming on the next run of episodes begins early next year, with a Christmas special set to air in 2015 followed by a trio of new episodes in 2016.
"You can always expect tragedy as well as adventure; that's just how it goes," Gatiss – who co-created the hit detective drama with Steven Moffat – told RadioTimes.com.
However, Gatiss declined to confirm whether this "tragedy" will include the death of John Watson's wife, Mary, who is killed off in the original Sherlock stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
"It should be clear by now that while, of course, Doyle is our absolute God, we have gone quite a long way away [from them] as well," Gatiss said. "We've introduced Sherlock and Mycroft's parents – I don't think they've ever been seen in any adaptation – so there are lots of surprises to come."
Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch is being tipped for an Oscar nomination for his performance in Alan Turing biopic The Imitation Game, which opened in cinemas on November 14. His co-star, Watson actor Martin Freeman, will be seen next on the big screen in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, which is released in cinemas on December 12.

quote:Originally posted by RobYes, that actually makes sense, well kind of...I still can't find a reason that it would be so slow as the loop which retraces the point pattern only has a 1ms sleep per point in the loop (which probably isn't needed, to be honest).What do you have your Minimum Segment Length set to? That controls how far the mouse has to travel while the stroke button is down between recording each mouse point (coordinate). If it's set really low, the point array would be holding a lot of coordinates. Keep in mind that the entire gesture is interpolated (multiplied and smoothed out), so recognition would not be affected if you increase that, unless you have highly complex gestures which you're able to draw in a very tight cluster.I wish I could reproduce the steps which cause the Preferences to be lost, but I simply cannot find any reason in the code as to how it could happen, and if I can't reproduce it, I'm kind of dead in the water.

Keg Taps: c.6

Nearest Overground station Hackney Central, Hackney Downs
Brewery tap in a railway arch in the centre of Hackney.
Jezza says
Out of nowhere, the railway arches near Hackney Central station now have three very good places within a few metres of each other. The Experiment and St John at Hackney are next door to each other on Bohemia Place, about 30 seconds from Deviant and Dandy, which is round the corner in the first arch on the other side of the railway. Ex Beavertown owner Byron is the boss here, and he and his team provide a warm welcome to their brewery tap. On our visit beers were served from a little caravan in the yard, and there is seating both in the yard and inside the brewery. In colder months the tap room will mostly move inside, though space is tight. Expect up to 6 of their own beers on draft.

NBA and the Internationalization of Sport
As the world marches into an ever-expanding era of technological, social, political, and economical interconnectedness, it is only natural that professional sports follow suit. After all, in America alone, the NFL, MLB, and NBA generate a collective 27.3 billion dollars in revenue each year. In order to keep up with trends of globalization, these leagues have made major efforts in the past twenty years to garner followings overseas. More recently the NFL has established a tradition of hosting games in London, with plans to field a London-based team by 2022. But the real leader in this movement is and has, for some time, been the National Basketball Association.
Kicking off its 71st season last week, the NBA set a league record with international players comprising 25% of the league. This year, teams feature 113 players from 41 different countries and territories. These numbers are up from 100 players from 37 countries last season. It's an exciting time for a sport that's long prided itself on international integration.
Of those 113 players, 61 of them were born in Europe. For the third straight year, Canada leads the league in international representation with 11 players, followed by France with 10, Brazil with nine, and Australia with eight. Currently, the Utah Jazz head up the list of diverse teams, with seven of their fifteen players hailing from outside the US. After that, seven teams feature six players each, including the San Antonio Spurs. For the third consecutive year, all 30 teams list an international player on their 15-man rosters.
In the 2016-17 NBA Draft, the 76ers took Ben Simmons from Australia with the first overall pick. Of the top eleven teams, seven of them drafted international players, including the Suns' Dragan Bender from Croatia, and the Pelicans' Buddy Hield from the Bahamas. After a decent preseason, Simmons rolled his ankle in the Sixers' final training camp scrimmage. He's expected to miss three to four months.
Meanwhile, Bender, widely considered the best international prospect this year, came off the Suns' bench in their opener and scored ten points in twelve minutes, six of them from downtown. It was a strong debut for an international player with a lot of promise.
As globalization flourishes across the league, it's worth examining the history of international players in the NBA. Technically, it was Hank Biasatti, an Italian-Canadian, and Gino Sovran, from Ontario, both signed to the Toronto Huskies in 1946, who broke the international barrier in the NBA—not that it was a barrier to begin with. The NBA was still a nascent organization at the time, a loose association of teams from the Northeastern United States, the Midwest, and Canada. That year, the league boasted five players born outside the U.S, three of which were from Canada. So it's no surprise that Canada tops the list of most international NBA players to this day.
Still, globalization was a slow crawl in the league until 1992 when FIBA, the governing body of international basketball, decided to make NBA players eligible for Olympic play. Up to that point, only amateurs and college players from the US were considered eligible. But that year, everything changed. On September 21, 1991, the top ten players were selected. Those who know of the Dream Team know it was a true Golden Age of basketball, not unlike our current league. The top ten players on that roster included Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, John Stockton, Karl Malone, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Patrick Ewing, Chris Mullen, David Robinson, and Charles Barkley. The Dream Team is often described as the greatest sports team ever assembled. In 1992 they destroyed their opponents by an average of 44 points en route to a Gold Metal victory over Croatia.
And just like that, the NBA became a global phenomenon. Since then, in the span of 14 years, the number of international players has more than quadrupled. NBA Commissioners and owners have made a concerted effort to increase international exposure in the modern age of basketball. Beginning in 1993, the league held a pair of preseason matches in London, pitting the Shaquille O'Neal-led Magic against Dominique Wilkins and the Atlanta Hawks. This constituted the first game in what would be called the NBA Europe Live Tour, which subsequently featured preseason matchups in Italy, France, Germany, Russia, Spain and Turkey. Later, with help from all-star center Yao Ming, the league began hosting matchups in China. The NBA China Games are now a staple in the preseason. Then in 2011, the NBA held its first ever regular season matchup in London, with the then-New Jersey Nets facing the Toronto Raptors. In 2016, the league will host its seventh NBA Global Game in London.
On establishing franchises overseas, League Commissioner Adam Silver had this to say in 2015, "We'd have to put both feet down. That would mean having four franchises in Europe. We're not there yet." When and where "there" will be is still entirely uncertain, still it's clear that Silver and league owners are committed to expanding the NBA brand across the globe.
With such an eye on the future of the NBA in international markets, fans can reasonably expect globalization trends to continue on and off the court. As happened with Yao Ming and China, the more foreign players we see suiting up in the NBA, the more marketable teams will be to overseas demographics. Naturally it follows that big time players lead to big time fan bases. With such all-stars as Dirk Nowitski, Tony Parker, and Pau Gasol repping their home countries on a consistent basis, it's easy to imagine why Europe has such a solid NBA presence. If the newest crop of international players can rise to similar heights, we're sure to see Silver and Company reaching that four-team goal faster than we thought.
