Follow-Up | Dow Indicator | Preview
The global economy may be slowing, but that didn't suppress investors' appetite for silver in 2012, according to the World Silver Survey issued by the Silver Institute last week.
Investment demand for silver rose 21% in 2012, to a record high of 160 million troy ounces. A desire for silver investment, about-one third of it from exchange-traded funds, was the primary driver behind silver prices averaging $31.15 per ounce, second only to silver's $35.12 average price in 2011.

In 2012, global ETF demand rose by 55 million ounces, or 10%, bringing total holdings to a record $18.9 billion. Demand for coins and medals hit 92.7 million ounces, with coin-minting in China up 47% from 2011. Total silver-fabrication demand dipped; mine output rose for the 10th year in a row.
Piling In: Investors pushed up investment demand for silver 21% in 2012. The outlook is strong despite recent pressure. William Waitzman for Barron's
"There was really strong Western institutional demand" for silver last year, says Neil Meader, global head of metals analytics for Thomson Reuters GFMS, which researched and compiled the report.
Notwithstanding silver's recent sharp move lower, in tandem with gold's two-day, 14% rout, Meader still sees average silver prices rising to somewhere in the high $20s this year. That implies a "significant recovery" from the $24 an ounce recently quoted, he says.
"There are a lot of reasons the metals should stabilize and do better," Meader says, chief among them the parlous state of U.S. government finances. The risk is high for U.S. debt to be downgraded again, he says. That formed the major stimulus for silver's climb to near $50 an ounce in 2011.
Last Week: Review
Gee Whiz GDP
The U.S. economy grew at a much slower-than-expected annual rate of 2.5% in the first quarter, driven by consumer spending, an inventory buildup, and a smaller contraction in government spending than the previous quarter, when GDP grew at a 0.4% pace, the Commerce Department said in its initial report on the data. Economists had been forecasting growth of 3% or more. The lackluster report could ease calls for the Fed to begin withdrawing its huge monetary stimulus.
Glitch Hurts Exchange
A software glitch delayed the opening of the Chicago Board Options Exchange for 3½ hours Thursday, leaving investors unable to hedge with tools like the Volatility Index, or VIX. The exchange, owned by CBOE Holdings, cboe -0.05051780752715332% CBOE Holdings Inc.

CBOE said the issues weren't caused by a computer hacker.
Market Mayhem
Regulators from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission were investigating trading of 28 heavily traded futures contracts during five minutes after a false tweet from the Associated Press said there were two explosions at the White House and that President Barack Obama was injured. AP said quickly that the tweet resulted from hacking, but not before $200 billion was erased from the stock market. On the week, the Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 1.7%, to 1582.24.
Stimulus, Japanese Style
The Japanese economy will receive additional stimulus in coming weeks, from new budget measures that will take effect in the run-up to July elections, a top aide to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Yoshihide Suga, told The Wall Street Journal. The spending comes on the heels of the Bank of Japan's huge stimulus, which helped boost the Nikkei Stock Average 4.3% last week. The BOJ's stimulus plan was unopposed at the recent G-20 meeting.
Bombing Suspect Charged
U.S. prosecutors charged Dzhokhar Tsarnaev with setting off one of the Boston Marathon bombs that killed three people and hurt more than 200. Tsarnaev, 19 years old, whose ethnic Chechen family was granted asylum in the U.S., and his brother, Tamerlan, who was killed in a shootout with police, were also planning to come to New York with explosives, officials there said. The suspects' mother was added to a U.S. terrorism list 18 months before the attack. Separately, Canada accused two foreign nationals of planning to derail a passenger train.
U.S. Sues Novartis Unit
The U.S. government leveled two complaints against Novartis, one charging a unit of the Swiss drug maker with paying millions of dollars of kickbacks to doctors in exchange for prescribing its drugs. The second suit accused Novartis of inducing pharmacies to switch thousands of kidney-transplant patients to its drug in exchange for kickbacks disguised as rebates. A Novartis spokeswoman said it disputes the claims in both suits.
Chemical Weapons Found
The White House believes the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has used chemical weapons in that country's civil war. But the administration said the assessment is "not sufficient" to take action.

Tell Us Your Worst Internship Stories
After a Bank of America intern in London was found dead in his apartment this week, the internet was abuzz with frightening speculation that the 21-year-old—who was described as "popular" and "highly diligent" by his employer—had worked himself to death. Moritz Erhardt had just worked three all-night shifts at the office, according to unconfirmed reports on social media. (Bank of America has declined to comment.)
It's a terrible story, and will undoubtedly add more urgency to a growing movement against alleged abuse against interns in industries from finance to Hollywood.
Have you had a bad experience at a summer internship in—or out of—the finance industry? Would you be willing to share your tale? The Daily Beast wants to hear your stories.

The Spas of Bohemia
Long famous for their "water cures," many scenic towns in the Czech Republic sell their charms for a pittance.
Karlsbad Spas/Hotels: If quiet is important, the best local spa may be the Jadran, an intimate villa built in 1937 on a hill above town. With only 12 rooms, its recently renovated premises sparkle with luxurious furnishings, gorgeous private baths, stereo equipment, TV, fridge, and phone; there is also an in-house doctor and treatment facilities, all at a cost - including full board - of $119 based on double occupancy. The drawbacks: no elevator, and a longish walk uphill from town. Almost as plush, the art nouveau Astoria offers a much better location smack in the center of town. The lobby wows visitors with its marble, brass, and fresh flowers, and many rooms have been upgraded to light wood furniture, lace curtains, new bathrooms, and all the expected amenities; there is also a brand-new sauna and indoor pool adorned with classical tilework and pillars. The all-inclusive cost here ranges from a high of 154 euros per room in season to a low of 112 euros. Strangely, the priciest place in Karlsbad (204 euros to 240 euros per room) is also the ugliest.
The Thermal, a 15-story concrete eyesore in the center of the pedestrian-only spa district, has one of those cavernous lobbies so typical of hotels in the former Soviet bloc. Still, it attracts a significant clientele who appreciate its large medical staff, complete range of spa treatments, outdoor pool with naturally hot spring and thermal water, and recently renovated rooms with fabulous balcony views of the town and surrounding hills. For those who prefer a simpler, non-spa hotel, the Jiskra is the best bet: a fabulous townhouse just across from the posh Grand Hotel Pupp and dripping with crystal chandeliers and swirly Belle Epoque moldings. A grand staircase (and elevator) lead up to three suites fit for royalty, along with ten simpler rooms with TV, phone, and shared baths (41 euros per room in low season and 78 euros in high).
Karlsbad Cuisine: Restaurant prices in the Czech Republic can still amaze after a decade of capitalism, and Karlsbad is no exception. At the pleasant Bodam Rybi Restaurace, seafood's the specialty, served outdoors under chestnut trees or indoors in a cozy dining room lined with fish tanks. An entree of fried calamari goes for $2.50, and a generous portion of paella with shrimp, mussels, and sepia for $3.25. Game is served, too: roast duck with cabbage and dumplings costs $3, and venison steak with mushrooms, $3.85. Rather more elegant, the Regina Restaurace (in the Regina Hotel) is a grand affair with elaborate ceilings, soaring columns, chandeliers, and . . . clunky Soviet-era furniture. Two prix-fixe menus offer the likes of soup, roast pork with potato dumplings and cabbage, apple strudel, and coffee for $3.35; ... la carte, a fried filet of fish is $1.75 and palacinky (Czech-style crepes) with fruit and cream just 75[cents].
Just off the main drag along a quiet lane of fairytale fin-de-siecle villas stop for lunch or dinner at the excellent Sadova Kavarna Restaurace, a plainish dining room with outdoor tables overlooking an onion-domed Russian orthodox church. Lively music and dancing on weekend nights accompany great values like the trout baked in butter and lemon for $2.50. Sides, like the ubiquitous potato croquettes, run 42[cents], as do various small desserts, and the Prazdroj or Purkmistr beer is 53[cents] a glass.
To eat like a true Czech on a budget, though, head for Linie Rychle Obcerstveni. Just west of the Thermal Hotel, it remains a Soviet-style fast-food joint with modern touches like bright display cases. The thing here is gloppy salads heavy on the mayonnaise served with a rohlik (roll); the karlovarsky salat, for example, costs just 42[cents] for a filling 150g (five-ounce) portion of chopped salami, raw onions, and diced pickles in a runny white sauce. It's deeply satisfying in the way that only something utterly bad for you can be; ditto for desserts like the 33[cents] "spa cake," a sort of Napoleon overloaded with frosting. This is truly as Czech as it gets, and a great place for a quick and very cheap meal.
Marienbad (Marianske Lazne)
A Gracious, Low-Key Alternative: Eighty miles southwest of Prague, Marienbad offers a different kind of spa experience: quieter, more intimate--even genteel. It was, after all, founded in the nineteenth century and specifically designed for strolling, its paths winding amid landscapes that would honor an Impressionist painting. To walk here is to revel in the architectural grandeur of the Austro-Hungarian empire; indeed, one might almost expect to bump into Goethe or Chopin taking a constitutional or listening to the spooky canned melodies of the "Singing Fountain," the focus of the delightful spa district. Expect, in short, nothing of the gloomy atmosphere of the pretentious, old French film Last Year at Marienbad.

While that was probably not true in the past, it is definitely not true today. This Great Recession has changed the nature of our careers forever. I know you don't want to hear that. It's hard enough to find a job in the current economic environment without some putz telling you that the rules of the game have now changed. But they have. And sticking our heads in the sand won't undo what has been done.
On the other hand, if we can learn the new rules quickly—if we can get our arms around them and figure out how to play by and win with them—we can turn today's difficult situation into a much better one. We can capture the upside in a down economy. We can put these new rules to work for us so we can find the work we want and hang onto it.
So, what are these new rules? They are a response to the traumatic and wrenching devastation of business now underway in this country and around the world. From GM to Citigroup, from Hertz to Microsoft, employers are shedding jobs and the workers who held them. These are not, however, your father's or mother's layoffs. They are not reductions in force that will eventually be replaced by rehiring in force. They are, instead, reductions in structure. The American employer is becoming leaner and determined to stay that way.
This shift in organizational philosophy holds several implications for those of us in the workforce.
• First, there will be far fewer permanent jobs available to us. Companies will shrink down to a relatively small number of core roles and hire very selectively to fill them. Gone are the days of offering a position to a qualified applicant. Today and for many tomorrows to come, only the best qualified candidate for each opening will get the nod.
• Second, employers will increase their hiring for "defined outcome positions." Unlike traditional contract or project work, these situations will have the look and feel of permanent jobs, but have a fixed duration determined by the accomplishment of a specific objective established by the employer. Defined outcome positions will have the same organizational prestige and seniority as core jobs, but without the commitment to long term employment.
• Third, employers will attempt to be much more nimble and quick acting. The competitive dynamics of a highly integrated, global marketplace have shortened the life cycle of products and services, sales and marketing strategies, and the organizational staffing requirements that flow from them. The kinds of talent required to execute an organization's business plan last year or the year before may be—indeed, often will be—entirely different than those it needs today or tomorrow.
If those are the new rules, how do we play them?
The answer is as simple as it is challenging. We will have to shift our own employment philosophy. We must change the way we think about our careers. We have to accept that they are no longer relatively stable or long lasting. From now on, our careers will be episodic and short. They will be "micro careers."
Micro careers are defined by two kinds of impermanence:
• Instead of working for one or two employers over the course of a thirty year career, we will now be employed by 10-15 organizations over the course of a fifty year career. We are living longer even as the staffing needs of employers grow shorter and less enduring.
• Instead of working in a single occupational field, you will work in 3-5 different professions. They may all draw on a common foundation of expertise, but each will require a specific and additional set of knowledge, skills and abilities.
This continuous changing means that we can no longer aspire to be complete and fully formed workers. The old industrial era paradigm of moving from novice to journeyman to master is over. In today's knowledge-based economy, only masters survive. So, our new strategy must be to act as "masters-in-progress." We must never stop moving toward a better, more capable, more effective version of our best selves.
Now, I acknowledge that such incessant self renewal is a new and potentially uncomfortable way of working for some, maybe even many of us. We worked hard to get to a certain point in our careers, and now, we would like to coast. We would like to sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor. And that's no longer possible. In the 21st Century workplace, managing a successful career is like riding a bicycle. We can coast for a short period of time, but we're going to have to peddle and sometimes peddle very hard if we want to keep from crashing.
While that may be difficult to accept, there are some advantages to this situation. It enables us to escape from the imprisonment of dull jobs and dead end employers. No employment situation is forever and as long as we keep preparing ourselves for what's ahead, each new job is a chance to move on and up. We get to start fresh on a regular basis, so mistakes are less harmful to our progress and risk is less dangerous. We have, in short, more freedom and opportunity than we have ever had. That's the key point we should remember. Because that's the power and the promise of micro careers.

In this weeks Things: Studio Cookbook by Ken Kirton, "coca-cola chicken"; The White Review No.1, "(Un)timely considerations on old and current issues"; Nonamarmi edited by Fabrizio Festa, "I'm Batman Damn It"; Dionysus: The Madness & Ecstasy by the Panther Club; Eight: Transmission Towers by Theo Simpson and Craig Barker, "pylon… a monumental ancient Eygptian gateway to the sun". If Ferrero Rocher wrote a Things feature…
The White Review No.1 Benjamin Eastham and Jacques Testard, Editors
Holding The White Review is a pleasure in itself. A bespoke typeface (by art director, Ray O'Meara), beautifully designed, thoughtfully conceived with a conscious definition in worthy content coming from its namesake, La Revue Blanche, which was published at the very end of the 19th century as a political, artistic and literary magazine. TWR fulfills this model in a non-profit, wonderfully extended format with pages filled and designed by London-based writers and artists, "a new generation to express itself unconstrained by form, subject or genre." Great online content also. Just checked it.
Nonamarmi Fabrizio Festa, Editor
The first issue of Nomamarmi has marked itself from the off as "pure at heart" with a suitably apparant 'made-with-love' personality. A great still life cover from the emotive Pietro Cocco and a noteworthy super-hero themed interview with britillustrator Jack Teagle, who has also illustrated a nicely titled 'Almanac of Post-Love' article. Half Italian, half English – wholly lovely.
Studio Cookbook Ken Kirton
A really nicely put together cook book containing a number of collected recipes concocted in the workplace and offered up by various studios and design folk. Contributors include Alex Bettler (Bread Sharing Breadlets), Martino Gamper (Ginger Pasta Asciuta) and Sarah de Bondt (Appeltaart) – which sounds like a dream meal to me. Hato Press printed on appropriately edible looking paper.
Eight: Transmission Towers Theo Simpson and Craig Barker
Not one to go for an extended quote but this fitting large format, single colour, screenprinted book pays all sorts of design homage to the stucture and space of the huge-and-humble pylon… "a meditation on the architectural vestige of Sir Reginald Blomfield who orchestrated, designed and selected the initial transmission towers for the UK. His vision remained faithful to the original Greek meaning of the word pylon as a monumental ancient Egyptian gateway to the sun"… context fully justifies such a thoughtful piece of print.
Dionysus: The Madness & Ecstasy Panther Club
The second print series from Panther Club (this time a risographed affair) is as excellently presented as the first, this time with the theme of ritualistic crazytimes – Dionysus: The Madness & Ecstacy. A fast favourite, Espen Friberg, Château-vacant, Dan Has Potential, Lindsey Gooden, Viktor Hachmang and (with a tripstatic illustration) Thereisawe all contribute.

The "America's Got Talent" judges panel is swapping one British woman for another British woman.
Sharon Osbourne announced this past summer she would be quitting the NBC summer talent competition after the 2012 season was over. In July, Osbourne first announced she was leaving via a cryptic message to fellow judge Howard Stern on Twitter.
Then in August, Osbourne said she was quitting because of NBC's treatment of her son Jack, who was removed as a celebrity contestant on "Stars Earn Stripes" — after he revealed that he has Multiple Sclerosis.
Now "AGT" has revealed who is replacing the popular judge. It is none other than Mel B., a.k.a. Melanie Brown, a.k.a. Scary Spice. Her entertainment experience includes being a member of British supergroup the Spice Girls and judging the Australian version of "The X Factor."
Mel B. joins returning judges Howie Mandel and Howard Stern for summer 2013. EW reports that that may not be all, however — NBC is considering hiring a fourth judge.

Guatemalan crafts, locally known as artesanías, are very much a part of Maya culture, stemming from practices that in most cases predate the arrival of the Spanish. Many of these traditions are highly localized, with different villages specializing in particular crafts. It makes sense to visit as many markets as possible, particularly in the highland villages, where the colour and spectacular settings are like nowhere else in Central America.
The best place to buy Guatemalan crafts is in their place of origin, where prices are reasonable and the craftsmen and -women get a greater share of the profit. If you haven't the time to travel to remote highland villages, the best places to head for are Chichicastenango on market days (Thurs and Sun) and the shops and street hawkers in Antigua and Panajachel.
The greatest craft in Guatemala has to be textile weaving. Each Maya village has its own traditional designs, woven in fantastic patterns and with superbly vivid colours. All the finest weaving is done on the backstrap loom, using complex weft float and wrapping techniques. Chemical dyes have been dominant in Guatemala for over a century now, but a few weavers are returning to use natural dyes in some areas, including Lago de Atitlán where San Juan La Laguna is something of a hot-spot.
One of the best places to start looking at textiles is in Antigua's Nim Po't, a huge store with an excellent collection of styles and designs, and myriad other crafts too. Guatemala City's Museo Ixchel is another essential visit.
Alongside Guatemalan weaving most other crafts suffer by comparison. However, if you hunt around, you'll find good ceramics, masks, basketry, blankets, mats, silver and jade. Antigua has the most comprehensive collection of shops, followed by Panajachel.
For shopping – or simply sightseeing – the markets of Guatemala are some of the finest anywhere in the world. The large markets of Chichicastenango, Sololá and San Francisco el Alto are all well worth a visit, but equally fascinating are the tiny weekly gatherings in remote villages like San Juan Atitán and Chajul, where the atmosphere is hushed and unhurried. In these isolated settlements market day is as much a social event as a commercial affair, providing the chance for villagers to catch up on local news, and perhaps enjoy a tipple or two, as well as sell some vegetables and buy a few provisions. Most towns and villages have at least one weekly event, particularly in the western highlands and also the Verapaces.

EPIDEMIC: TB in the Global Community
Photographer: David Rochkind
Exhibit Title: EPIDEMIC: TB in the Global Community
Location: Various
Tuberculosis(TB) is a preventable and treatable lung disease, but there have been almost no new advances in treatment for 85 years and the infrastructure to deal with the problem is not sufficient in much of the developing world; in certain communities the disease has reached epidemic proportions. The WHO estimates that one third of the world's population is infected with the bacteria that can cause TB and that nearly 1.8 million people die from the disease every year, but TB cannot be defined simply by incidence or mortality rates, as it is a disease that has far reaching economic and social consequences. This project aims to convey the stress, pressure and effect that the disease inflicts on not just those who carry it, but also on the communities in which they live.
These images form the basis for an interactive educational project about TB that can be found at: www.tbepidemic.org

EPIDEMIC: TB in the Global Community
EPIDEMIC: TB in the Global Community is a free online educational program about tuberculosis based on the photography and multimedia reports of David Rochkind, an award winning photographer who has traveled the world to document tuberculosis in the communities that are most affected by the disease. The website functions as a stand alone teaching tool for anyone who wants to learn more about themes of TB, the challenges it presents to individuals and communities, and potential solutions to those challenges. In addition, the site will come with downloadable lesson plans for high school level health and social studies classes. These interactive 3-day units are designed to engage students with the multimedia content on a deep level, allowing for complex understanding of the social consequences of tuberculosis. The website will also contain tools that will allow students to take the experience beyond the classroom, teaching them how they can impact change in their own communities and beyond.
This project is a joint collaboration between photographer David Rochkind and the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, and is supported by the Lilly MDR-TB Partnership.

ALBERT LEA, Minn. – Main St. in Albert Lea is now closed in both directions between Broadway Ave. and Katherine St. because the water is even higher than it was Wednesday.
City officials are dealing with detours on that stretch and part of Lakeview Blvd. because of flooding, but that is not their biggest problem right now.
"We had water in our basement and this has not been the first time," said Linda Markrid of Albert Lea.
She and her family woke up to quite a mess Thursday morning. Their basement was wet and with more than just water.
"Water was coming out of the sewer right here, and there's sewer right here you can see on the floor," Markrid said pointing out the mess.
"I was hoping not, because my husband's been trying to keep up with it, but with the water as much as we had, I knew that we would get some," Markrid said.
Cleaning up the wet basement is one thing, but Markrid and her husband have put quite a bit of money into trying to fix the problem.
"We have replaced this wall and this wall, and the water's just been keeping coming up and up and up," Markrid said.
Outside her front door is the sound of the city doing their best to tackle the issue. They are manually helping the sanitary sewer system that has backed up because of high flows thanks to the rain.
"In order to relieve the pressure on the sewer system, we put a pump in the sewer system and then we pump that sewage, diluted water sewage into the storm sewer system," said Albert Lea City Engineer Steve Jahnke.
He said that is going into the area lakes, but they would rather have that than what is happening to basements like Markrid's.
To help the cause, the city is asking that you avoid using any unnecessary water yourself.
"We are catching up, things are looking better. As long as it quits raining we'll be in good shape, however, everything is saturated, it doesn't take much rain. If we get hit by rain like we're supposed to again [Thursday] night, we're going to be right back up into that maximum capacity again," Jahnke said.
As if the rain was not enough, a couple of the lift stations around town lost power. So city workers have been hooking up generators to those so they can function properly again.
The Salvation Army is offering cleanup kits if your sewer system did back up. You can find them at 302 Court St.

Treatment - muscle strain
How do you treat a muscle strain?
Rest the strained muscle and apply ice for the first few days after the injury. Anti-inflammatory medicines or acetaminophen (Tylenol) also help reduce pain and swelling. As the pain decreases, you can use heat on the muscle. Stretching and light exercises to bring blood to the injured area can also be useful.

The boys are finally back from their winter hibernation This time around Cris Nyari and Niklas Wildhagen are joined by journalist Mark Lovell to talk about all things match day 18 and the biggest news stories from the winter break.
Segment 1: Did Schalke manage to create more breathing room for their newly instated coach Jens Keller with their spectacular 5-4 win against Hannover? Dortmund fire from all cylinders, but what went wrong for Werder? Can Augsburg repeat their comeback from last season? All this, and a whole lot more in our first match day segment of 2013.
Segment 2: Pep Guardiola is certainly amongst Bayern's biggest signings in the club's history, but how is the Catalan going to take on coaching the Bavarians. What can we expect from Marco Kurz at Hoffenheim and Dieter Hecking at Wolfsburg? And, what to make of Nuri Sahin re-joining his first love, Borussia Dortmund?
