Finance people are from Mars, and economics people are from Venus

Well that was something. On a day when there is already a strange hothouse atmosphere around the Federal Reserve's policy statement and Ben Bernanke's afternoon news conference, there was a long, often tense exchange on CNBC just now between Rick Santelli, the network's sometimes-bombastic correspondent (recall that it was one of his rants that launched the tea party movement), and Jon Hilsenrath, chief economic correspondent at The Wall Street Journal. It was long and hard-to-summarize, and Santelli did most of the talking. But it boils down to Santelli giving Hilsenrath an earful about the Journal reporter needing to give Bernanke and the Federal Reserve more holy hell about the nasty consequences of its easy money policies. It strikes me that this is reflective of a big divide between people who spend all day in the trading pits or obsessing over the latest move in the Dow, oil futures, or the yen, and those who spend their day in the quieter business of analyzing macroeconomic trends. Call it the markets folks vs. the economics folks. Markets people see abnormal movements in stocks, bonds, currencies and commodities as being caused by an exogenous force, with Bernanke playing an alternately vengeful and benevolent god who causes all sorts of distortions with his money-printing. Economics people (a camp in which I very much belong) look at monetary policy almost as an abstraction, having intellectual debates about monetary pol ...

Venus DeMars’ Facebook profile photo says it all: a portrait of the Minneapolis-based transgender singer/songwriter/bandleader/painter, covered by a placard that reads, “Not An Artist.” When we last checked in with DeMars and her wife, Lynette, a published poet and English professor at Normandale Community College, the couple was embroiled in an aggressive tax audit by the State Of Minnesota over their status as professional artists. The story outraged readers and was picked up by several media outlets, including Bitch magazine , Tech Dirt , Boing Boing , and Crooked Timber , but as it turns out the fight is just beginning – and the couple is now determined to see it through in the name of all artists. “Through donations, which we are extremely grateful for, we were able to hire a lawyer, for $6,000,” said DeMars. “Our lawyer got their verbal final decision, and it was that I am denied classification as a working artist, and will be assessed an amount plus penalties for three or four or possibly more years, we’ve yet to find out exactly. It seems that no significant changes have been made in their argument since the last [Minnpost] article. “So, because of their verbal final determination against me, despite our legal representation at the final meeting, and the counter arguments our lawyer laid out for them during that final meeting, I’m now moving into the appeals process, which will cost another $6,000 in legal fees. “While ...

Tennis: Venus Williams to sit out from Wimbledon

After 16 consecutive years of always showing up at Wimbledon — and winning five titles along the way — Venus Williams pulled out of the grass-court Grand Slam tournament Tuesday, citing a lower back injury. Williams, who turned 33 Monday, had never missed Wimbledon since making her debut there in 1997, although she lost in the first round a year ago. She won the singles trophy — it happens to be called the Venus Rosewater Dish — in 2000-01, 2005 and 2007-08, to go with two more major championships at the U.S. Open in 2000-01. Venus Williams will skip Wimbledon due to a lower back injury. (AP PHOTO) But Williams has been dealing with a bad back for a while, playing only three matches in the last two-plus months. She was clearly hampered by the injury during a three-set, three-hour loss to 40th-ranked Urszula Radwanska of Poland in the first round of the French Open last month, then cited her back when she and younger sister Serena withdrew from the doubles competition in Paris. The older Williams said after the singles loss at Roland Garros — her first opening-round exit there in a dozen years — that the inflammation in her back made it painful to serve hard, limiting one of the best parts of her game. Once ranked No. 1, Williams is currently No. 34. Still learning to live as a professional athlete with an energy-sapping autoimmune disease, Sjogren’s syndrome, she has two first-round losses in the past four Grand Slam tournaments. ...

Moon partners with Saturn, Venus and Mercury pair on June 19

The moon and the planet Venus rank as the second-brightest and third-brightest celestial bodies to bedeck the heavens after the sun. As soon as dusk gives way to darkness, use dazzling Venus to find the planet Mercury, and then use the bright waxing gibbous moon to find the golden planet Saturn (plus the sparkling blue-white star Spica). Look first for Venus and Mercury rather low over the west-northwest horizon some 45 to 60 minutes after sunset . That’s because these two worlds will follow the sun beneath the horizon before it gets good and dark. The moon and Saturn, on the other hand, will be out all evening long. Venus and Mercury will only be about 2 o apart – about the width of your little finger at an arm length away. Venus shines about 100 times more brightly than Mercury does, so you may need binoculars to spot Mercury in Venus’s glare. If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, you may also see the nearby Gemini stars, Castor and Pollux. Look westward some 45 to 60 minutes after sunset to spot Venus and Mercury near the horizon. You may – or may not – need binoculars to see Mercury Both of these planets – Mercury and Venus – circle the sun inside of Earth’s orbit. Mercury is the innermost planet of the solar system whereas Venus is the second planet outward from the sun. Earth, the third planet outward, cirlces the sun sun inside of Mars’ orbit, the fourth planet outward. At present, Mars is extremely hard to see because i ...
