Highway 402 in Ontario is jungle snowed so avoid!

Cold wind blowing off warm waters have combined to make this year a
year to remember for Southwest Ontario. Safe in Coffee Culture in
Exeter we gather the police are having a hard time keeping people in
line. It's easy to get your vehicle in grave difficulties if you do
not have snow tires that are reliable and four wheel drive. Snow is
causing clogged up conditions and day light helps but don't venture
out in this in the dark. The light leaves at four pm when you can't
make out where the centre of the road.

As a long term issue trees beside the road help to stop drifting which
very quickly makes a road impassible in winds.

Just an average day in Exeter Ontario - NOT

Roads are ok in town but just outside they are trecherous...

News Headlines

Ever wonder where the money goes? Out of all the rescue money most
will end up invested in Chinese growth as firms try to outcompete
themselves to move jobs to Asia!

Borrowing short to invest long is a necessity of competitive forces
and so to remain market leaders firms are unwittingly sowing new seeds
of different crisis, which may emerge as a Chinese led recession
alongside commodity cost inflation for advanced economies once the
money comes back to haunt them, excluding all but those on strong
price positions.

Print too much money and you get inflation. Deflation is regional as
firms vacate to occupy areas where they expect growth. China is
overheating and money will become more expensive there as authorities
try to keep a lid on inflation through involuntary deposits with the
central bank.

Nobody wants to risk investing in people within the advanced world!
So charge more for education as an emergency solution and thereby
choke off your economies' long term futures as talents migrate away!

Why consciousness exists!

It is my contention that consciousness is a property that does not obey the exclusion principle in physics. It is a form of 'matter' self referencing itself until the vision of what it sees is absolutely clear. Fermions are required in this process, but play a role such as bed posts to keep the perception self-going introspective based on non-fermionic dimensions or material. Matter thus acts as a support for consciousness, and an enabler. In my view it is secondary to non-fermionic matter that allows or rather has self referencing as a basic property, eg light.

However, I could be wrong in the sense that fermionic matter driven by a higher dimensions intervention in our space time might allow forms of fermionic awareness.

My idea of the higher dimensions allows for the cubes to arise with rather than outside the framework of our three dimensions of space. Then, I allow time to capture outside regions. The three dimensions of time are possibly and illusion brought on by another dimension folded within our three dimensions, along the lines of my little and large exploding universe concept for fermionic space.

Any ideas?

Tim Pawlenty: Government Unions vs. Taxpayers - WSJ.com

These comments from a Minnesota Governor may be popular in some circles but they are a real stretch of the imagination and real not very helpful in finding a long term solution to America's ills. Since the economy needs to remain diversified why not place the onus on US firms to keep up with what's going on elsewhere and play a citizenship role as well. Is it only Gevernment employers that are good citizens?

The idiots view would be ....Yes, they should be punished in this blind rage for excuses. NOT.

The governor should realize its no good carping about those actually loyal to the country and still have their capital working in America. Downsizing government is not a solution it's a stupid and I repeat stupid excuse for not keeping private capital in America and having government military contracts reign supreme in the new job market. He might also reconsider the damage done while George was asleep at the helm, or was he awake, hummmm.

The Intervention of multiple dimensions in three dimensional space

The big question would be whether we would recognize other dimensions within our ordinary space.

My contention begins with the proposition that we ourselves are intervening in 3d space and one of the main characteristics of this intervention is our consciousness, the fact that we are aware the space is three dimensional in the region where we are aware of ourselves.

Our consciousness arises from the self referential nature of what enables our consciousness, namely a square of a square of a square of a cube. We are conscious because our consciousness is made of non material stuff that dies not obey the exclusion principle, namely light or photons.

Do you subscribe to the notion of Ron Paul that continuing depression is coming - Google Search

The question really remains whether we have blown the opportunity to correct the mess that the Bush and Brown years foisted onto the rest of the world. It would be a serious mistake not to think that we have not already engaged in a military and economic war that will have consequences far greater than anything we have seen in the past. And, yes, we will have to tread very lightly to avoid an even messier situation because of the enormous weight of debt and our attempts to compensate for loss of better times!

This depression will likely last and last ... Not my quote, but can you guess who?

I no longer have the answers because as a messy situation circumstances have got really messy and require enormous efforts coming from several fronts that have not performed in the past. In some respects, it is like America's response to Japan in the 1980s.

This current period may become known as the 'greater' depression caused by Obama's administration unless? What do you think would change things around and would America be the mover?

Is any economy free to do what it's leaders want in military politics or are we seeing the limits of independent action finally take hold? Can America finance nation building alone without everyone being dragged into the costs whether they like it or not. We are an interdependent system but think like we still have far and sweeping independence of action which is false.

The Hidden Dimensions of Our Reality

Remember the notions of point, line, plane or square, cube.

We tend to think of our universe as having three dimensions and then possibly time. We stumble at the worry of our death because we think that somehow we cannot reconstruct the other three dimensions of our existence into the time dimension. We fear that for us time ends.

What is the fallacy of all this mistaken reasoning about time? We forget, don't realise, can't see, have no faith in the evidence that there are a plethora of much stronger dimensions hidden within our obvious three dimensions that make the time dimension somewhat limited.

These hidden, yet obvious, dimensions do in fact control our very being and indeed shape our conscious reactions to all our sensations in life. We have our sense of self-awareness because of them and within them is protection of our most vital wants, desires and wishes. The problem is that it takes insight to see the hidden dimensions. The insight comes over time as we accumulate knowledge and eventually reach a takeoff, a critical mass in our awareness that propels us the see the obvious.

The hidden dimensions are associated with laws of mathematics which we understand as self replicating and repeating in squares, cubes, and cubes of cubes. They run throughout our three dimensions of lines, squares, and cubes, which we know ordinarily as our three dimensions. Occasionally, some people's brains will be in tune with the hidden dimensions, such as Dr. Bucke and Walt Whitman.

Hidden within matter is obviously, and I mean quite visibly the dimension of what I can only describe as God. We call the visible evidence of the hidden dimensions a self replicating set. That a physical set can have consciousness is not really so remarkable in reality.

The evidence of other dimensions weaving their way through our obvious three dimensions, plus the three dimensions of time, is not so remarkable if we meditate on them for a while with a bit of higher mathematics. The math really is not even needed but provides the proof.

They are hidden in a sense because most of us don't recognise them even as a dimension or dimensions nor see how it/they extends our existence both within time, within space-time and even outside of visible dimensions into others that the hidden dimension points to.

In fact there are so many hidden dimensions associated with the fractals nature of our multi-dimensional worlds that science will in the future have much work to understand even the surfaces that we recognise.

What do these dimensions mean to us? Lots. They, for a start, show us how God exists. They give proof to the existence of immersions that use matter to produce consciousness and self awareness.

Very simply, by being aware of the many hidden dimensions woven into the fabric of our universes, we can begin to understand our purpose more clearly, how we fit in and how we can shape our conscious future. We can realize that we are fabricated by the hidden dimensions and behave scientifically definable laws as well as have properties inherently God like. We can see God and for some even communicate with God for the first time and realize what God will do with us and for us. We can shed the fear of death and consciously build our own dimensions knowing that they will survive in the three dimensions of time. God should not be anything so extraordinary, but as higher creatures, we can entertain a realistic relationship with God, not a fantasy.

Many of us do, and it's no big deal unless you don't.

Leaking and Wikileaking! Why and why not!

Firstly, it is my opinion that leaking confidential information is inherently wrong. It is above all bad manners. I really can damage social relationships and have serious unforeseen negative consequences. It is unethical. It is usually illegal. You should not do it. People need secret information to do sick things and it's wrong to enable sick actions.

Secondly, systems and exchanges that are open work best. Honesty and trust come from mutual respect inherent in an absence of the disease of addiction in its myriad forms that spawns secrecy and eventually premature death through hundreds of different avenues the worst of them being genocide and all out war.

Religion is an addictive process if it is not open and changeable and look at how religion spawns wars.

Science when it is open is not addictive, but if it is closed becomes addictive and leads to war and competition that leads to war and premature death of people, schools of thought, companies and countries. Just take a look at North Korea or Iran.

So, it is my position that open exchange is the must way to go. We have seen how secrecy of governments leads to mistrust and wars. Look at all the dead from the first and second world wars, the secret alliances resulting in the most horrible of acts and nefarious deeds. Best to be honest in your feelings and be open to the views of those who have healthy approaches to living and exchanging.

Thus, wikileaks, as a phenomenon is not inherently bad. It is much better than not being open about what you feel and believe or closing yourself off from reasoned debate and discussion.

Leaking private information nevertheless is inherently evil and is an attack on the dignity of ones neighbours and colleagues, associates and acquaintances, strangers and not so strangers. Don't practice it!

Shrinking Euro Union Seen by Creditors Who Cried for Argentina - Bloomberg ... Well really?

In my view, Argentina was entirely predictable because of the excessive dollar borrowing, but for members of the Euro zone, I suspect there is a major difference being that it's much easier just to subsidize Greece, Portugal and Ireland while exacting fiscal reform at a pace that is not terribly destructive.

There seems to be such a thing as the America disease and perhaps one should speculate whether American dollar would split up as California goes away from Texas the source of many of it's economic ills.

Such speculation makes one wonder whether the Americans eagerness to push dollars at us from all directions may require a rethink of international currencies such as the US dollar which seem to do more harm than good when used as a substitute for local currency. Crises are possibly lessened by diversification of borrowing and use of diversification foreign currencies for local currency substitutes. The problem is a lack of sophistication by banks and operators at street level.

This may change with technology for communicating currency value of a wider range of assets and liabilities. The trick is at the street level to diversify your currency portfolio.

So it was the breakup of the region locking onto the dollar or yen that we saw with the Asian and Argentinian crisis.

Is the Euro crisis not then in reality a dollar crisis?

Too many dollars used as local currency or as assets / deposits are at the root of our problems.

Well y'er tis our next crisis! Cheap Debt Fuels Private-Equity Revival - NYTimes.com

Filter down economics does not work very well. What caused our international competitive crisis was just that, competition. The competition was fed by too much liquidity and so our wise monetary authorities have increased liquidity thereby increasing the need to compete and creating the very vicious cycle of making the economy messier and messier to manage with bigger and bigger firms gobbling up bigger and bigger firms. Nobody seems to think that feeding the competitive urge to increase the scale of buying and selling assets might just be at the root if our disharmony.

Government action is pushing us deeper and deeper into greater and greater crisis. Would that the policy makers dared read a few economic history textbooks!

Continuous Improvement! Of Course, the Economics Text Books are Basically Wrong Which is Why the Fed's Policy is so Messy

Throw thirty years into a real economy and the thirty years you missed in your textbook make it obsolete, as well as your economy, if it doesn't reform constantly. That's the missing factor in text books. Call it capitalized labour, innovation, technology embodied in capital, market change, competitive restructuring. Well, the economic text books don't cover it very well, freakonomics or not! Everything has to improve continuously to match the reality of technical change.

How do we stay on top of our changing environment?

We do it by continuous education of our total workforce. To make an incentive, we need to value the process of improving continuously. We do that by making psychological factors pull and push us forward.

David Einhorn Explains How QE2 Will Affect The Average American In One Sentence

Why does one suspect that David is right? The problem is not liquidity so much as overhang and debt which increased liquidity probably will not help that much. Could a side effect be weakening of the dollar as it's value in the eyes of domestic holders declines? Perhaps overkill is too strong, but who is this increase supposed to help, the repayers of loans from the government or overextended consumer borrowers? Or, is it some third group of upscale taxpayers who want to get their kids university costs paid for?

Will the Euro break up over the next two years.

This is not advice and only a loosely held opinion, BUT .....

Off the top of my head, I don't think there is much of a precedent despite what other economists say. It's likely that the rules for membership of the Euro will get tougher and fiscal policy will go the same way as monetary policy into coordinated realms like the US Fed. The Canadian dollar survived and I expect the Euro will survive and probably do very well thank you. The world needs the Euro. Europe needs the Euro. We all need the Euro. Who would want to see Europe's framework weaken other than a stinking thinking individual. This is not about opportunism born out of American corruption, but of decent hard working peoples trying to coordinate efforts over the longer time so as to reduce the chance of war.

Gresham's law would prevail. Experiments such as Alberta issuing it's own currency did not last very long and failed because good money drove out bad. Any country that tried to opt out of the Euro would find it's currency treated as bad and a black market of Euros or dollars would probably prevail. Germany has the staying power to keep the Euro strong and the energy policy to take Europe into a world economic leadership position. Britain may join the Euro within a decade, but the size of the Euro zone will not in my opinion diminish much if at all despite Greece and Ireland.

On the other hand the dollar as a source of world economic ills may get it's opportunity to move closer to parity with the Euro as fears of Euro break up increase.

French publishers plan digital newsstand

From The International Herald Tribune:

French publishers plan digital newsstand

PARIS — With sales of newspapers and magazines flagging at the ornate kiosks that adorn the boulevards of Paris, French publishers hope that a planned ''digital kiosk'' can help revive their fortunes.

The publishers, representing eight of the leading dailies and weeklies in France, said last week that they had formed a consortium to manage the project, which aims to create a single online portal to sell the publications' contents via the Web, mobile phones and tablet computers like the iPad. Consumers could buy articles or subscriptions with a single click of a mouse once they had created an account.

''The idea is to put a value on online content,'' said Frédéric Filloux, a former newspaper editor who is heading the project. ''It's a matter of survival for us.''

The plan is being introduced as newspapers everywhere are rethinking their digital business models, which until now have mostly been built on advertising-supported Web sites that were free to users. With online ad revenue falling short of hopes, some publishers are putting up pay walls, and others are considering plans to charge users for access to their sites.

The need for new sources of income is particularly great in France, where newspaper readership is low and many publications survive only because of government support.

Payback time darkens Ireland’s view of E.U.

From The International Herald Tribune:

Payback time darkens Ireland's view of E.U.

Just about the time Ireland joined what was then the European Economic Community in 1973, Fintan O'Toole ran with the other teenagers around his public housing complex in Dublin, joyously reciting, ''We are into Europe!'' Playing on the title of a popular television show, they were celebrating the riches in European agricultural support that would now begin flowing to Irish farmers.

It was the start of a European journey that over the next three and a half decades delivered a transformational boon to the mainly rural economy of Ireland, a small country long overshadowed by Britain. With it came a brasher new identity and a new sense of political independence, as Ireland took its place in the constellation of European countries.

How things have changed: Last weekend, Mr. O'Toole spoke at a rally that urged Ireland to reject an €85 billion bailout program, equivalent to $112 billion, backed by the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund, calling instead for Ireland to repudiate much of its debt to international banks. The rally's setting, on O'Connell Street in Dublin outside the General Post Office, said it all: It was the center of Ireland's 1916 rebellion against British rule, now redolent of the backward-looking and helpless gloom that has descended on Ireland since it became the latest victim of the European debt crisis.

An angry Libya delayed atom deal

From The International Herald Tribune:

An angry Libya delayed atom deal

WASHINGTON — In the early morning of Nov. 25, 2009, a large Russian cargo plane left the Libyan capital, Tripoli, on a secret mission, but without its intended cargo.

A small stockpile of spent nuclear fuel destined for disposal in Russia remained behind in a lightly guarded research center, apparently because of a fit of pique by Libya's leader, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi.

In a frantic cable to Washington, U.S. officials in Tripoli warned of dire consequences unless the carefully brokered deal to remove the 5.2 kilograms, or 11.4 pounds, of highly enriched uranium stored in seven five-ton casks was quickly resurrected.

If the enriched uranium ''is not removed from the casks within three months, its rising temperature could cause the casks to crack and to release radioactive nuclear material,'' the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli reported, according to cables made public by WikiLeaks. ''Security concerns alone dictate that we must employ all of our resources to find a timely solution to this problem, and to keep any mention of it out of the press.''

The seeds of what appeared to be the demise of the secret deal were planted weeks earlier in New York, when Colonel Qaddafi expressed unhappiness that he was not permitted to set up his tent in Manhattan or to visit the site of the destroyed World Trade Center towers during a United Nations session.

Distrust in Europe for tracing transactions

From The International Herald Tribune:

Distrust in Europe for tracing transactions

WASHINGTON — When the European Parliament ordered a halt in February to a U.S. government program to monitor international banking transactions for terrorist activity, the Obama administration was blindsided by the rebuke.

''Paranoia runs deep especially about US intelligence agencies,'' a secret cable from the American Embassy in Berlin said. ''We were astonished to learn how quickly rumors about alleged U.S. economic espionage'' had taken root among German politicians who opposed the bank-monitoring program, it said.

The memo was among dozens of State Department cables that revealed the deep distrust of some traditional European allies toward what they considered American intrusion into their citizens' affairs without stringent oversight.

The program, created in secrecy by the Bush administration after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has allowed American counterterrorism officials to examine reams of banking transactions routed through a vast database run by a Brussels consortium known as Swift. When the program was disclosed in 2006 by The New York Times, just months after the newspaper reported the existence of the National Security Agency's warrantless wiretapping program, it set off protests in Europe and forced the United States to accept new restrictions.

Humbled? Sure, but also proud

From The International Herald Tribune:

Humbled? Sure, but also proud

MANAMA, BAHRAIN — When U.S. diplomats get together these days, there is lots of dark talk about the fallout from the sensational disclosure of secret diplomatic cables. Will angry foreign governments kick out ambassadors? Will spooked locals stop talking to their embassy contacts?

Behind all the public hand-wringing, however, there is another, more muted reaction: pride.

The WikiLeaks affair has turned an unaccustomed spotlight on the diplomatic corps — pinstriped authors who pour their hearts and minds into cables, which are filed to the U.S. State Department and, until now, were often barely read by desk officers, let alone senior diplomats.

Whatever damage the leaks may do, and nobody doubts it could be substantial, they have showcased the many roles of the Foreign Service officer in the field: part intelligence analyst, part schmoozer, part spy — and to judge by these often artful cables, part foreign correspondent.

The pride of authorship is shared by their boss, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who found a silver lining in the disclosures, even after she spent last week trying to smooth the feathers of foreign leaders described in the cables as feckless, profligate, vain, corrupt or worse.

Signs of vast hacking by a Web-wary China

From The International Herald Tribune:

Signs of vast hacking by a Web-wary China

As China ratcheted up the pressure on Google to censor its Internet searches last year, the U.S. Embassy sent a secret cable to Washington detailing one reason top Chinese leaders had become so obsessed with the Internet search company: They were Googling themselves.

The May 18, 2009, cable, titled ''Google China Paying Price for Resisting Censorship,'' quoted a well-placed source as saying that Li Changchun, a member of China's top ruling body, the Politburo Standing Committee, and the country's senior propaganda official, was taken aback to discover that he could conduct Chinese-language searches on Google's main international Web site. When Mr. Li typed his name into the search engine at google.com, he found ''results critical of him.''

That cable from U.S. diplomats was one of many made public by WikiLeaks that portray China's leadership as nearly obsessed with the threat posed by the Internet to their grip on power — and, the reverse, by the opportunities it offered them, through hacking, to obtain secrets stored in computers of its rivals, especially the United States.

Extensive hacking operations suspected of originating in China, including one leveled at Google, are a central theme in the cables. The operations began earlier and were aimed at a wider array of U.S. government and military data than generally known, including on the computers of U.S. diplomats involved in climate change talks with China.

Bill Gates Now Promoting Apple Macs On His Blog

That a prominent information source Business Insider says such a thing suggests that editorial review there is somewhat lacking despite the sense of humour. We all know that the seesawing between Apple and Microsoft, between Gates and Jobs, has gone on now for forty or more years. That it's Apple's turn now at innovation comes as no real surprise and has to be admired. Microsoft dropped the tablet many times because as a language and software house your market orientation is very different from that of Apple. Using servers to process commands, as well as the tablet, is only a temporary phenomenon. As we enter the terabyte-memory-as-normal phase, who will care about the Internet... Seesaw!

Super jumbo problems - Report Details Qantas Pilots' Response - WSJ.com

Would you rationally want to fly in this plane with the possible risks as great as they appear? Maybe the passenger services on the super jumbos should be minimized until we all know for certain what went wrong (and why?) with the fuel line. With so many passengers at risk of death or injury when the super jumbo is fully loaded, the inherent risk for any one individual is much higher. Here is a case where economies of large scale appear to have backfired, for now at least!

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
