Terror filled me as I ran down the blackened corridor. My staggered steps echoed loudly in the still darkness as my chest heaved searching for enough air to accommodate my body's unrelenting desire for it. The moist heat was thick on my electrified skin. Each hair was now rigid, not unlike rigor mortis, as the effects of an unrealized flight response became apparent and assumed control over my nervous system.
He was coming for me and I knew it. I felt his hatred.
I could see it just ahead; the faint amber luminescence shrouded in swirling mist. At long last, the end of the tunnel; the portal I was seeking? Moving quickly toward it, I could see now. The walls like jasper around me glistened faintly reminding me of its solid impenetrability, yet it was alive! Writhing slowly in circles were the unnamable forms of tormented things like some Giger canvas come to life; must keep moving.
Finally, I had come to the end. The mist had dissipated and yellow-white light enveloped me. The recessed lights above were bright indeed. Held firmly in place by steel, they hummed softly and made the orifice from which I had emerged even darker. I turned back to the portal and the terror abated only for a moment being replaced by awe. A massive vista of space and moving shadows was before me. Were they clouds? A distant storm was raging far off amidst the mottled sky. A glance downward revealed a coal black abyss for which I surmised had no end yet regarded me with such malice that immediately convinced me that it was a place I did not wish to go.
I could not jump and the terror returned.
There was a rush of wind and a groan. He was upon me and I could do nothing. In an instant, I was swept up and out into the dark void. Look! I was upon his back. His great Wyrm-like wings pounded the thick air. I could feel the powerful sinews in his back contract with each beat. The horns upon his head were thick and sharp; pointed upward as if to stab at the sky above. He was cloven hoofed and covered with bristled brown-black hair. A spaded black tail fluttered behind him and he stank of death.
I am forced upright and sit motionless in bed. My breath is a heavy pant. Wetness covers my head and lower back. "Honey, are you OK?" I am asked. My response is affirmative.
It has ended for now.

Alarming Rise of Measles Deaths in Dollo Ado Refugee Complex
A Somali child refugee receives a vaccine for measles at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) transit centre in Dolo Ado near the Ethiopia-Somalia border, August 11, 2011
The United Nations refugee agency reports death rates in one of four refugee camps at the Dollo Ado complex in Ethiopia have reached alarming levels. The UNHCR says it suspects a combination of measles and malnutrition brought on by famine is the major cause of death.
More than 118,000 Somalis live at the Dollo Ado refugee complex in Ethiopia. More than 78,000 of these refugees, fleeing drought and famine, have arrived in Dollo Ado this year.
U.N. refugee spokesman, Adrian Edwards, says an assessment of mortality finds a sharp rise in death rates in one of the four camps at Dollo Ado.
"Since the Kobe refugee camp opened in June, an average of 10 children under the age of five have been dying each day. An outbreak of suspected measles, combined with high rates of acute malnutrition is thought to be the major cause of death. Across all Dollo Ado sites, 148 cases and 11 deaths due to suspected measles have been reported. This deadly combination has historically caused similar death rates in previous famine crises in this region," Edwards stated.
Children who are healthy generally do not die of measles. But, for those who are malnourished, this preventable disease can be fatal. And, so it is proving to be for many of the acutely malnourished Somali children, whose health has been severely weakened due to drought and famine.
Kobe houses 25,000 Somali refugees. The UNHCR and its partners on Monday completed a mass vaccination campaign against measles. All children between the ages of six months and 15 years were immunized against this killer disease.
Edwards says vaccination campaigns will begin in other camps in the coming days. "There is a need to encourage parents to return with their children to health centers for continued treatment for malnutrition, and to actively identify children who are sick to ensure they receive immediate help. UNHCR is already working with refugee leaders and outreach workers to raise awareness of measles symptoms and hygiene promotion," he said.
Most of the refugees arriving from Somalia are from rural areas. UNHCR spokesman Edwards says the camps in Ethiopia may be the first time the Somalis have ever gone to a health care facility. He says it is crucial to make the refugees aware of the health and nutrition programs that are available to them.
He says the UNHCR, together with the Ethiopian government and other partners, are working to improve nutrition, water supply and sanitation in the camps. He says this can help bring down the high mortality rate.
Measles is a highly contagious disease. The UNHCR says action to prevent people from dying of this disease is the number one priority facing aid agencies.

I wonder if anybody could help me. I would like to automatically open a specific "accept" link (which is not the first link on the email, it's the third) and leave the other links alone (especially the "reject" link!).
I have tried to modify the script that a lady (Diane?) kindly attached with reference as to how to open ALL links automatically. I tried this by adding words in the other hyperlinks to hopefully skip over them, to no avail (I'm a complete novice), that she used with unsubscribe. All the links keep on being activated. Is there any way I could just have the third hyperlink activated in my email - it has the word "accept" in the linked URL and the other URL has the word "reject".
The ones in pink are the added "code" that I'm playing about with, to try and exclude all the other hyperlinks - it doesn't work - they all keep opening.
Amanda, I am trying to accomplish something the same as you. Did you ever find a solution?
This should work... it skips the url if a match is found, if no match, it moves to the next if.
The big thing to verify is if the url contains the words… Debug.Print strURL prints the url to the immediate window but to might be easier during testing to use msgbox strurl so you can see on screen what the url is before it goes though the if's - strURL is just the url, not the display name.
for example, the first one would be picked up by the if statement and skipped but the facebook url would get past the if statement.
Oh, I see. So even if the hyperlink is attached to the anchored text, it "prints" it out and verifies that the text is actually in the URL? That correct? I will try it out.
How would I get it to kick off ONLY from a specific sender?
Unfortunately, for me, there is no key word in the actual URL that can be used. It is a random string. I need to be able to key on the text the the hyperlink is anchored to.
Diane, I replied in another thread you were on regarding this also. Any ideas?
correct - the macro only check for the word or phrase in the url, not the anchored text.
I didn't test this, so the pattern might not be right but the basic premise should be good - i think this is mostly correct to get the url if there are css directives in the a tag.
Thank you so much. I think I can get it to work. I think I found something unique in the URL I can match to.
Last thing, how can I get it to process new emails in the inbox from a specific email address? I apologize if my terminology is incorrect.
if you were using a run a script version, you'd set up the rule to look for that address... in an itemadd, you need to use an if statement.
That line will cause the macro to check every message in the folder, not just the new one.
Below is what I have. It builds off of your first example on Open All Hyperlinks in an Outlook Email Message.
What changes would I make to this to trigger on ONLY new mail arriving in the inbox? I have an outlook rule to only call the script when sent by a specific email address.
Remove this - it tells the macro to use the selected item.
The macro sample at this bookmark Open All Hyperlinks in an Outlook Email Message will work with a rule.
Diane, thank you so much for your assistance. You are a gem. I think I actually got it to function, however Safe Links is somehow disallowing the launch of the allowed URL even though you can manually click on the URL and it launches fine. Anywhere online I can buy you a beer?
I think I may have figured out where the issue is. I hope. Safe Links prepends every URL with "Office365". Everything after the percent sign (including the percent sign) is chopped off of the URL when it is opened in Internet Explorer. I attempted to edit the Reg1 .Pattern to look like below, adding the %, however it is still not seeing the "%". I tried with brackets ([%]) around it also to no avail. Any ideas?
Fixed it. Added the "%" towards the end.
Anyone else that wants a "run a script" macro to run when new email arrives, the code is below. I have added a timer in case you want to wait a while before opening the URLs. Thanks to Diane for your template and assistance.
'Wait for a certain amount of time before opening URLs.
If InStr(strURL, "@") Then GoTo NextURL 'Ignore emails.
If InStr(strURL, "unsubscribe") Then GoTo NextURL 'Ignore specific string in URL.
When opening an specific email I cant see the attachment.

Welcome to Atlantic Canada's first Cat Lounge!
The Lily Pad Cat Lounge aims to offer a calm and relaxing environment for humans and felines to interact. We hope to be able to offer a fun alternative for adoption and to be a resource for rescues.
Felines can have a therapeutic effect on people and can turn a long, stressful day or week into a good one (at least for a little while). Whether it be their purr, petting them, or seeing them play, interacting with a cat should help lighten your day!
Have a small event you'd like to host, such as a birthday get-together or work gathering? Get in touch with us. Please not that we may not be able to accommodate larger groups during the quieter time of year.
All cats found at the Lily Pad Cat Lounge arrive to us being available for adoption. We have partnered with the Nova Scotia SPCA to offer an alternative way for kitties to meet their potential adopter.
We also carry a small range of pet supplies, mostly aimed towards cats such a foods, toys, treats, grooming products, etc. We also carry a fun array of cat-themed merchandise for all of the humans to enjoy.
Please note that we only allow limited amounts of people in at any given time. Reservations or calling ahead are generally recommended, but walk-ins are accommodated when space allows.

Q: Using `useEffect()` inside of a function I have came across the following code in FlyerChat.
import * as React from 'react'

export const usePrevious = <T>(value: T) => {
  const ref = React.useRef<T>()

  React.useEffect(() => {
    ref.current = value
  }, [value])

  return ref.current
}

The function is called as
const previousChatMessages = usePrevious(chatMessages);

I have a hard time understanding how storing value in a ref in a function and with a useEffect is different than just keeping its value.

A: Looks like it is because library maintainers don't want to rerender when you change chatMessages
From React documentation:

Keep in mind that useRef doesn't notify you when its content changes. Mutating the .current property doesn't cause a re-render. If you want to run some code when React attaches or detaches a ref to a DOM node, you may want to use a callback ref instead.

Q: How to add property to object through ng-model in html page in angularjs? I have a object I have iterated using ng-repeat and while iterating I want to add each field to another object through ng-model.
//html

    {{field.Name}}
    <input type="text" class="form-control" style="width: 172px;padding-left: 20px;display: inline-block;" ng-class="{mystyle:field.Name.$invalid}" id="inp_{{$index}}" ng-model="inputfields.{{field.Name}}">{{field.Name}}

In the above code i want to assign field.Name as a property to input field which is declared as a $scope.inputfield={} in js file. So i am getting an error as
 Syntax Error: Token '{' invalid key at column 2 of the expression [{{inputfield.field.Name}}] starting at [{inputfield.field.Name}}].

So can anyone solve this please.

A: try:
ng-model="inputfields[field.Name]"

A: use with array notation to get the property of the object
ng-model="inputfields[field.Name]"

instead of
ng-model="inputfields.{{field.Name}}"

A: inputfields.{{field.Name}} is invalid expression assignment.

You can assign fidlename to inputfields using ng-model="inputfields[field.Name]"
for more detail refer this link : https://docs.angularjs.org/error/ngModel/nonassign

To know how to move forward we must first learn how we got here. This takes on even greater urgency in this election year.
The US economy was wracked by a series of booms and busts in the decades after the Civil War. In 1913 Congress broke with this policy of laissez faire to create the Federal Reserve, charged with stabilizing the banking system. Despite this (or perhaps because of this), these busts culminated in the Great Depression of the 1930's. A solution was at hand. During the years 1919-1936 John Maynard Keynes developed a new paradigm for economics, both quantitatively clear and operationally simple. Its goal was to stabilize the economy at a low level of unemployment, an optimum equilibrium (this is a gross over-simplification). It ignored the inimical effect of rising debt levels. But then, in the long run we are all debt (Keynes had no children).
The US adopted his policy of aggressive economic management, stabilizing the economy though federal spending, plus manipulation of the money supply and value of the dollar. This worked well for many decades.
A side effect was erosion of traditional concepts of financial prudence. During the 1960's and 1970's the US economy accumulated more debt and the trade deficit deteriorated. The stress impelled President Nixon to take us off the gold standard in 1971, which led to the great inflation of the 1970's. Only after inducing a recession, the worst since the 1930's, was the Fed under Chairman Volcker able to restore stability to our economy. Widely hated for this strong medicine, he served only one term two terms, but never attained the heroic reputation of his successor Alan Greenspan.
The Fed was an evasion of responsibility by our elected officials. In the words of Chairman William McChesney Martin Jr.,*the Fed is like "the chaperone who has ordered the punch bowl removed just when the party was really warming up." Its Chairman was to take the burden of making unpopular decisions off our elected officials. Then in 1987 Alan Greenspan became Chairman, and discovered that Chairman too could be famous and popular. Casting aside all considerations of prudence, he oversaw a massive increase in the debt of government, household, and corporate debt. every crisis or slowdown was met with more debt. This worked well for a long time. There were those warning that this would end badly, but they were discredited by the lack of immediate ill effects (heroin works in a similar fashion).
1982-now: 95 months (Greenspan management).
Sometime in the mid-1980's Maria Fiorini Ramirez, then with Drexel (now one of Wall Street's top economists) noticed that since WWII that the government's economic management resulted in debt growing over time. More interesting, the effectiveness of new debt was decreasing. That is, new debt provided less stimulus. She speculated that when the economy hit its maximum sustainable debt load, new debt would no longer spark economic growth. Technically this means the debt elasticity of GDP goes to zero. At that point the economy would have to deleverage, marking the end of the post-WWII economic regime in America.
BEA revisions to the real GDP calculation essentially wiped the 2001 recession off of the map in an academic sense, despite the fact that the NBER still considered the totality of events as a recession. … In that light, can we say that the current economic expansion is really, academically, 193 months long? … 193 months of expansion is absolutely a massive anomaly in terms of length of historical economic expansions. Absolutely nothing comes even remotely close.
… If we start the economic retrospective clock at the end of the recession in 3Q of 1982, since that time exactly 100 quarters have elapsed. Again, over that period, the US has officially experienced only 5 quarters of negative quarter to quarter real GDP. That's only 5% of the entire period!
… Since late 1982 one of the most incredible periods of academically defined US economic growth of the last quarter century exactly coincides with what has been record US credit expansion as a % GDP over the same period. … two incredibly powerful forces up until now have act to reinforce and support each other.
The 2001 slowdown, from bursting of the debt bubble and 9/11, were met by an unprecedented rise of debt by US governments and households. Eventually the economy responded, although quite sluggishly.
Now comes the hangover to our fifty-year long party. the "subprime crisis" is just the canary in the coal mine, defaults by the worst loans of the most vulnerable debtors. We face a slowdown, perhaps a recession. Worse, we have burned out our economic "stabilizers" through overuse (see update for more on this).
As Comptroller-General Walker has warned, the looming retirement of the baby boomers limits the government's ability to borrow – so fiscal policy is hamstrung.
The trade-weighted US dollar has declined to near its record lows, making holders of US bonds nervous. Monetary stimulus – printing money, lowering interest rates – risks sparking a currency crisis, perhaps ending the US dollar's reign as the world's reserve currency. The consequences of this could be calamitous, as the trillions of dollars held aboard as a store of value get sent home if the dollar becomes just another fiat currency.
Currency management, debasing the currency in order to stimulate exports, has the same problem.
We cannot see beyond the end of the post-war economic regime. At that point we must make decisions, and we cannot see how we will choose. We have borrowed fecklessly incredible sums over many years. Will we repay these debts or default?
It is a decision we will make at all levels. Businesses will decide. Local governments will decide. Citizens will decide. The last will be a microcosm of the others. For example: your home is worth far less than your mortgage. The loan is non-recourse to you, so if you default the bank cannot chase you for the loss. Do you pay or mail the keys to the bank ("jingle mail")?
We cannot do the same thing for America, mailing the keys to our foreign creditors – making it their problem. But we can default, or inflate the debts away to oblivion. Our creditors trusted enough in America to lend to us without collateral and in our own currency. Were they wise to do so?
Repudiating these debts will mark the end of America as a leader of the world community, and probably as a great power. It will be interesting to see how we choose. Of course our ruling elites insure that none of this gets mentioned in the Presidential campaign, least it disturb the proles. We can assist them by not telling anyone.

While the Summers proposal is the most sensible in terms of the appropriate fiscal stimulus it will not prevent the coming unavoidable recesssion: it will only help to make it milder. The reason is that, with large structural fiscal deficits, a much larger fiscal stimulus is now not possible.
In 2000 the US was running a large fiscal surplus – about $300 billion or 2.5% of GDP; by 2004 – after two large and unsustainable tax cuts and massive defense and national security spending increase – that surplus had evaporated into a 3.5% of GDP deficit. And while the overall deficit shrank after 2004, on a cyclically adjusted basis the structural deficit is very large now. So, unlike 2001 the US cannot afford now a massive – 6% of GDP – fiscal stimulus like the 2001-2004 one. Even the Summers proposal adds up to less than 1% of GDP. That unsustainable and reckless fiscal and monetary (Fed Funds down from 6.5% to 1%) policy stimulus in 2001-2004 was sarcastically referred to as "best recovery that money can buy" by the sensible and brilliant Ken Rogoff (a "Republican" economist who was at the time the chief economist of the IMF).
So, by using all the monetary bullets (and leading to a housing bubble) and fiscal bullets (and causing a large structural fiscal deficit) in 2001-2004, we are now in a situation where the macro policy stimulus available to address the current 2008 recession (as the economy is effectively into a recession now) is much more limited than in 2001: monetary policy easing will occur but the Fed needs to worry about lingering inflation pressures, high oil/energy/commodity prices, the risks of a disorderly fall of the dollar and the risk that foreign investors will pull the plug on the financing of the huge current account deficit and lead to a disorderly adjustment of the US external deficit.
And fiscal policy is now constrained by a large structural fiscal deficit, looming long-run entitlement spending deficits, and the lack of a large fiscal surplus buffer like the one available in 2001. Worse, with home value plunging, at the state/local level revenues are plunging and fiscal deficits rising as property tax revenues are sharply shrinking. So the overall fiscal deficit for the public sector (including both the federal government and state/local governments) is sharply rising, further constraining the room for active fiscal stimulus.

My only criticism of this very good post is that it optimistically assumes that the only problem lies with the apparent decreasing ability of the United States' economy to handle its debt load. Another potential problem could be that the United States' creditors, China in particular, might not be able – much less willing – to service the United States' debt.
China has potential problems such as a shaky financial structure, an unstable population, pollution ( which is a symptom of economic inefficiency ), and questionable quality control (as the recent lead toy episode illustrates ). So China very well could wind up with economic difficulties for its own internal reasons which could cause it to withdraw from financing sharp nosed, white skinned barbarians across the ocean.
Something similar happened in 1929. In the late twenties, the United States had financially propped up the Wiemar Republic. With the stock market collapse, it no longer could do so. The rest, as they say, is history.
There are many potential problems, esp as at the regime-end it looks like a large knot of many strands of twine. This just examines one such, and does not assume the non-existance of other problems.
I see China and the US as two drunks leaning on each another. Can either stand alone? If one falls, does the other also? Both systems are deeply flawed, albeit in different — perhaps opposite – ways.
Fabius Maximus replies: Superficial nonsense. Stratfor provides excellent geopolitical analysis, but their economic views are somewhat less useful than those of the Economist, whose motto is apparently "Always either interesting OR correct, but never both". The US dollar was the "true foundation" in 1970, and has been slowly — in fits and starts — becoming ever less so. Over the last few years this evolution has accellerated, albeit still slow as befits changes in such giant forces.
Yeah, our leading export these days is the dollar. China sends us stuff, we send back dollars (and bonds, etc.) As long as those dollar-things are kept as reserves the big ball keeps rolling. While I don't believe the world is dumping the dollar as a reserve currency, I've seen many stories that nations are going to the Dollar/EU mix. I'm thinking what's changing is that in the past we benefited from a monopoly of the dollar as a reserve currency and now there's competition. Nations can smoosh the percentage slider either way from Dollar or EU, and in the new environment the USA needs to take care to make sure the dollar is competitive as a reserve currency — as usual, we won't start paying attention to this until it becomes a disaster.
The dollar is now falling relative to other currencies, so even if it doesn't look like inflation here, we are already effectively inflating the debts away from the perspective of guys overseas who own US bonds. The Ottoman story explained the consequences of this pretty well. Owning bonds in a falling currency doesn't look like such a great bet. To preserve value, those guys are going to want buy income producing properties, American companies, land and buildings — the Citibank deal, for example.
As long as there's something to buy here with the dollars the party can continue a little longer, but eventually what happens is they simply own everything. We become serfs to foreign powers. We rent homes owned by them; we work at companies owned by them. Our taxes are used to pay interest that goes to fund projects in their countries.
The point of making such a radical thought is not, in itself, to provide a solution. Rather it is to stimulate creative new approaches. So how do we ( and by "we" I do not necessarily mean the federal government but rather each of us, all of us, or any subset thereof in any possible arrangement ) adjust our affairs so our credit rating no longer matters so much?
Why is this a "radical thought"? Solving problems by stealing, defaulting on debts, and such are the norms of history. America was an attempt to rise above that. We can "default and run off laughing", leaving behind the dreams and work of Americans before us who hoped for better. All those who looked to us for inspiration and leadership would learn that it was all a lie, or that somewhere along the line America's blood became thin and weak.
On an operational note, we borrow the stupendous sum of roughly 5% of our national income from foreigners. A typical recession is a 1.5% drop, so going cold-turkey on borrowing would mean a very severe downturn. I suspect this is far more likely to result from foreigners taking away America's national VISA card than us deciding to stop spending like drunks.
William Jennings Bryan would have disagreed with you on that.
The Progressive Movement, which Bryan co-opted in 1896, sought ( among other things ) to relieve farmers' debt by putting the United States on the silver rather than the gold standard, thereby inflating the currency. There was quite a lot of rhetoric associated with the 1896 election about whether or not meeting debts with silver or gold money was the way to go. Suffice to say that your position sounds like McKinley's while Bryan and his cohorts would have disputed you vigorously.
Update: My apologies. It was, of course the Populist and not the Progressive Movement that Bryan co-opted in 1896. A late night typo.
That's an interesting point. Who can say what Bryan would think? The bi-metallic movement, which he endorese, was an effort to reverse the Fourth Coinage Act of 1873, which moved the US from a gold/silver standard to a gold-only standard.
My guess is that Bryan would not support measures designed to stiff our creditors. He wanted a fair monetary system that was not tilted toward creditors. We already have that, borrowing at low rates on easy terms to a degree probably never seen in the history of the world. The current debate, as seen above, is about how we can avoid paying back what we fecklessly borrowed. I think Bryan would greatly resent comparing our borrowing to support lavish consumption with that of 19th C farmers trying to support families in the harsh conditions of the American mid-west.
We cannot see beyond the end of the post-war economic regime.At that point we must make decisions,and we cannot see how we will choose. We have borrowed fecklessly incredible sums over many years.Will we repay these debts or default.
It is a decision we will make at all levels.Businesses will decide. Local governments will decide. Citizens will decide. The last will be a microcosm of the others. Your home is worth far less than your mortgage.
Fabius Maximus replies: I agree. We cannot see beyond choices we have not yet made and do not understand.
Cunctator, this is an extraordinarily poorly researched article. I have to wonder where you get your facts.
1) Volcker was unpopular in the early 80s for his interest rate policies but by the middle of the decade he was recognized as the hero who beat inflation.
2) We know this because he was reappointed to the Federal Reserve, indeed, I have no clue how you arbitrarily decided he was a one-termer, by President Reagan, despite the fact that Reagan was in the other party AND Reagan's allies had been some of his most vicious critics.
3) Reagan was applauded for this move.
I say again, did you do even the most perfunctory research for this article?!?
Fabius Maximus replies: You are correct, of course, that Volcker served two-terms — not one. However, I recall the period quite well — Volcker was widely hated. This is not incompatable with Reagan re-appointing him. FDR was widely hated, but did quite well at the polls.
There was little recognition "middle of the decade" that inflation had been beaten. For example, note continued high real interest rates, which bond investors demanded as insurance against the return of inflation. The low interest rates of the 1990's (and today) show that inflation is considered to have been beaten.
In developing a language to discuss this problem, we should consult J. L. Austin's How to Do Things with Words.
Austin considers statements that are neither true nor false, but rather verbal acts. E.g. "I now pronounce you man and wife." Austin states such sentences, while having no intrinsic truth content, can be either "happy" (i.e., succeed ) or "unhappy" (i.e., fail ) "I now pronounce you…." might fail for any number of reasons. E.g., the official lacks the authority; the bride is not of age; the groom is already married; the wrong ceremony was used; the bride has been kidnapped; the groom is mentally handicapped; or even that this is a scene in a play.
As the debt crisis grows, various verbal acts are more apt to be unhappy rather than happy, as various social, political and financial instruments ( which have resulted from verbal acts ) fail.
Indeed, it would be possible to develop "ironic advocacy" whereby one apparently advocates actions which, given current social ideals, should work but which, given current social realities, won't. Eg. "Congress should enact a financial Superfund to clean up the financial mess." The point of which would not be to achieve the financial Superfund but rather to cast Congress in a bad light.
Given the maxim, "The Law does not require the performance of a futile act," what meaning does "Rule of Law" have if the scenario Fabius Maximus describes above also is given?
Thought-provoking post (as usual here). Thank you.
Looking forward to retiring narcissistic baby-boomers & what George Soros correctly calls America's entrenched "feel good" politics, are there circumstances when the world's sole military power might 'restructure' its debt to foreigners? The thousand 'corrective' policies might include taxing all interest income earned in the US (with hefty tax deductions for qualifying domestic taxpayers, of course).
Are there circumstances when foreign creditors might collusively impose retroactive 'debt covenants'?
Fabius Maximus replies: Nobody can say how this will play out. Perhaps our creditors will impose on us the debt replayment plans the IMF has so often imposed on others. Including taking a blue pencil to our government spending. What might a creditor committee of foreign leaders say about our military expenditures?
So now that we are soon to complete $1.75T of QE, QE that has worked so far, what do you see for the future of QE, the reaction of our foreign creditors, and the impact on America's leadership position?
I think you completely miss my point on QE. If the Fed wants to swap Treasuries for MBS, or if the Treasury wants to issued debt in order to purchase Citigroup common stock, I am not including that in the Fed gov deficit or in the QE numbers. But the ~$1.5T deficit projection for 2009 excludes Treasury borrowing for the purpose of asset purchases; and the $1.75T of QE excludes any other swaps/sales/purchases of assets the FRB may have done with its balance sheet.
The Federal deficit is projected >$1T annually for several years. MBS/agency QE-enabled rotation in Treasuries provided cash flow to fund the 2009 deficit without outright and direct monetization of net Treasury issuance. That dog won't hunt come 2010. With FCBs accumulating dollar reserves at a much lower rate than they did pre-2008, and with those same FCBs comfortably weighted in the short end of the yield curve, how do you think they will react to QE 2.0, 3.0, etc., each in magnitude of >$1T and with an overweight towards Treasuries as opposed to MBS? Or if you don't think QE 2.0, 3.0 is on the horizon, what will be the mix of purchasers for Treasuries in 2010-2012 and the resulting rate on the long bond?
Fabius Maximus replies: It's a problem, one that many folks have written about. It's difficult to see how the government's financing requirements can be met without monetizing a large fraction. Of course, with monetary velocity and credit still declining there is no current cost to doing so. Hence the vast literature on "exit strategies", how to normalize monetary policy following this event. Japan did it successfully, if you call their situation normal.
There are few or no domestic limitations to monetizing the debt during a recession, esp a deflationary contraction. The external limit is the stress monitization puts on the currency. And that is probably manageable, as the US trade deficit shrinks during a recession (assuming we slow roughly like or more than the rest of the world) — and so much of the world's borrowing was done in US dollars, creating a demand for dollars to repay debt even as our trade deficit (the primary mechanism for injecting dollars into the world economy) shrinks.
As I said, it is difficult to see how all this will play out.

Ara Pacis Augustae (Altar of Augustan Peace)
» Unknown artist(s), Rome
In the summer of 13 BCE, the Roman senate issued a decree calling for the construction of an outdoor altar complex commemorating the emperor Augustus's successful campaigns in Spain and Gaul and his return to Rome in that year.
The Ara Pacis Augustae, or Altar of Augustan Peace, was completed in 9 BCE.
The altar complex consisted of an interior altar surrounded by a stone precinct wall. The entirety was raised on a marble base with steps leading into the precinct space. Both the altar proper and its enclosing structure were heavily ornamented with relief carving. The iconography of the exterior program included references to fertility and prosperity, such as vegetation and animals, in the lower register and scenes associated with Rome's mythic past in the upper. Most scholars identify narrative panels on either side of the west entrance to the altar as depictions of Rome's founding figures—Aeneas to one side, Romulus to the other. These figures, in turn, are seen as prototypes for Augustus himself.
Processional friezes along the north and south sides of the outer wall are thought to represent the sacrificial procession that took place annually at the altar by order of the senate. They have also been interpreted as depictions of the altar's dedication ceremony. In either case, it has been observed that the movement of the figures in these relief carvings would have echoed that of visitors as they moved around the monument.
Originally, the Ara Pacis stood adjacent to other structures associated with Augustus, namely the emperor's mausoleum, the largest Roman tomb at the time, and the Horologium-Solarium, a huge sundial marked with references to Augustus's birth and accomplishments. The three monuments were all situated on the north end of Rome's Campus Martius. This land just outside the city proper was considered sacred and appropriated by Julius Caesar. As Augustus continued and expanded public works projects initiated under Caesar, power shifted away from old Republican Rome toward the Campus. Situated in this park-like setting beside the Via Flaminia, one of the principal roads into the city, the Ara Pacis celebrated imperial power as part of a larger urban complex declaring the civic largess of Rome's emperors.

Q: Do I need to declare XML on a page using the XHTML doctype? I've been seeing some conflicting information that an XHTML document must also declare itself as XML.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
 "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

However, in other places I'm seeing (including w3.org) that the DOCTYPE must be the first tag declaration.
Since W3 says it, it must be true. However, I probably have some pages/apps lying about that are following the first method. What are my risks?
Edit: I just ran a page through the W3 Validator with and without the XML declaration and it passed both ways. At this point, then, I'm guessing it's just a "style" thing.

A: From the XHTML 1.1 specification:

An XML declaration like the one above
  is not required in all XML documents.
  XHTML document authors SHOULD use XML
  declarations in all their documents.
  XHTML document authors MUST use an XML
  declaration when the character
  encoding of the document is other than
  the default UTF-8 or UTF-16 and no
  encoding is specified by a
  higher-level protocol.

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/conformance.html

A: http://validator.w3.org/ only accepts the <?xml> stuff before <!DOCTYPE>. The other way around (doctype before ?xml) won't get validated.

A: I've never included it (always gone with just the doctype), and w3c says my XHTML 1.0 Strict projects are "valid."

A: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

...is the default version and encoding for XML, so you don't need it at all. If you are serving XHTML as text/html, it probably shouldn't be there at all.

However, in other places I'm seeing (including w3.org) that the DOCTYPE must be the first tag.

Sounds like some confusion... DOCTYPE isn't a tag and neither is <?xml?> (which is called the XML declaration, and looks like a Processing Instruction, but it isn't one of those, either).
If you are including both, the XML declaration must come first. The trick is that IE6's DOCTYPE sniffer only detects Standards Mode DOCTYPEs if they're the first thing on the page, which means you can't use an XML declaration and you must stick with XML 1.0 and UTF-8 encoding (which is no great loss).

Michigan National Guard supports lifting ban on women in combat roles
Posted on 31 January 2013.
From the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs
LANSING, MICH.— Maj. Gen. Gregory J. Vadnais, the Adjutant General of the Michigan National Guard and the Director of the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs supports the Pentagon's decision to clear women for combat roles in the U.S. military.
"Michigan women have already served in combat zones in Iraq and Afghanistan," Vadnais said. "Expansion to allow women into ground combat units really comes as no surprise. We remain standards driven organization; the best-qualified and most capable people will successfully accomplish our missions, regardless of gender. The policy move opens up additional options for service women and provides official recognition for those serving in some of the most dangerous positions protecting our nation."
Women are currently excluded from only 8 military specialties in the Michigan Army National Guard. Approximately 3,000 female Soldiers have deployed since 9/11. Nearly 1,000 Michigan National Guard Soldiers and Airmen are scheduled to deploy in contingency operation in the coming year.
In a Pentagon news conference earlier this week, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Gen. Martin E. Dempsey announced the decision to lift the ban on women serving in combat and said woman are integral to the military's success, noting their demonstrated willingness to fight and die in combat in order to defend and protect American freedom.
The Michigan National Guard stands ready to make any and all changes necessary in accordance with Department of Defense initiatives.

O'Neill: We were missing key players but were still well beaten.
MARTIN O'NEILL POINTED to the absence of 'five or six Premier League players' from his squad as one of the contributing factors to Ireland's chastening 4-1 defeat to Wales in Cardiff this evening.
The Ireland manager also insisted his players must show greater bravery on the ball after watching a rampant Wales outfit tear the Boys in Green apart, thanks to goals from Tom Lawrence, Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey and Connor Roberts.
After a chaotic build-up to Ireland's Nations League opener saw O'Neill lose the services of Declan Rice, Harry Arter and James McClean, the visitors were outclassed, outfought and outplayed by Wales, who made a thrilling start under manager Ryan Giggs.
It was a sluggish and abject performance from Ireland, who less than a year after winning in Cardiff to keep their World Cup hopes alive, slumped to another heavy defeat in competitive action.
Speaking to Sky Sports afterwards, O'Neill said: "We were missing some key players but were still well beaten.
"Obviously we set out with good intentions. They scored very early on in the game, their second goal from a world-class player was a world-class goal and of course that sets you back and you're 2-0 down after, what, 15 minutes. It's a tough way back. It was a hard evening.
When asked if the spate of player withdrawals in build-up had an effect, O'Neill added: "I would have thought so. We're unable to be missing five or six Premier League players and still be able to put on a real big show. We need to be a full strength if we can be.
"Now I'm not so sure, I'm not so certain, we've actually been at full strength but I've not known when we've been as decimated as this.
"We've got a game coming up against Poland and we'll try and utilise the squad if we can and try and get ourselves prepared for the two games in Dublin. Very important games against Wales and Denmark [in October].
"I think that we need to try and be braver on the ball, that's very, very important.

Independence Days
Posted on June 20, 2022 June 24, 2022 by the urban rabbi
Next month America will mark Independence Day, a national holiday celebrating our founding as a republic and declaring our freedom from British rule. But in 1776 only some American residents were free. First among those without freedom were tens of thousands of enslaved Africans, ripped from their communities and forced into cargo holds and then brutal service on American plantations. For many Black folks, July 4th is complicated, inviting feelings of pride but also resentment, sadness or anger.
Juneteenth 2022 on Whitelock Street
This is one reason last weekend's Juneteenth celebration was so important, enough for President Biden and Congress to declare June 19th the first new federal holiday in nearly 40 years. Governor Hogan and Maryland quickly adopted the holiday, and a number of other states have done so. But some have resisted making Juneteenth official. In Tennessee, where the state recognizes observances for Robert E. Lee Day, Confederate Decoration Day and Nathan Bedford Forrest Day (Forrest was the first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan), the legislature failed this year to advance funding for Juneteenth. One state senator said, "I just think we're putting the cart before the horse making a holiday that people don't know about."
The reason for creating holidays is at least in part so more people can learn about them, especially when they highlight historic injustices. Juneteenth marks the end of American chattel slavery, but hardly the end of its impact. In order to better appreciate July 4, we must be willing to better understand the importance of June 19. To fully celebrate American freedom we must also be curious and concerned about the ways that freedom has been so unevenly distributed throughout our history.
The rabbinic sages were sensitive to an investigatory approach to justice. The Babylonian Talmud (Gittin 55a) outlines a debate between the houses of Hillel and Shammai with regard to a stolen beam:
The Sages taught (Tosefta, Bava Kamma 10:5): If one robbed [another of] a beam and built it into a building, the House of Shammai says: [He must] destroy the entire building and return the beam to its owners. And the House of Hillel says: [The injured party receives] only the value of the beam, due to an ordinance instituted for the sake of the penitent.
The Houses of Shammai and Hillel disagree fundamentally about the best way to right the wrong when one party erects an edifice undergirded by sin. Shammai says the entire building must be unmade. Hillel says restitution must be paid. As Rabbi Sharon Brous points out: "Neither argues that you can pretend, year after year, generation after generation, that the beam wasn't stolen. Neither suggests that time rights the wrong. Both understand that the theft, unaddressed, threatens the legitimacy of the whole enterprise."
This is Jewish tradition's version of restorative justice, the notion that retribution doesn't provide sufficient opportunity for learning, engagement, or growth. When Hillel's students say the thief pays for the value of the beam "for the sake of the penitent," this doesn't in any way justify the act of theft, nor minimize the impact of such a violation. But it does provide opportunities for growth, even repair, between two parties.
As Brous writes, "Our country was built on a stolen beam. More accurately, several million stolen beams. Only they weren't beams. They were human beings." The adoption of Juneteenth as a federal holiday isn't only about Juneteenth; it's also about Independence Day. Perhaps, one day, more of us will be prepared to take more seriously the possibility of reparations for the harm done to millions of African Americans. Until then, keep in mind Dr. Martin Luther King's 1960 words at Spelman College: "If you can't fly, run; if you can't run, walk; if you can't walk, crawl; but by all means keep moving."
