NOV 6 15 SIT EC y POL
Michael Hudson NOTE:
“The one area I
most need help is in proof-reading and basic copy editing.” “Sadly, my long time voluntary editor
Keith Wilde passed away recently. I would like to develop a new team for a
series of books I have planned in the coming months and years. Could you send a short email to copyeditor@michael-hudson.com with a link to any
relevant online work? Reminder, this is a voluntary role only.” http://michael-hudson.com/2015/11/hudson-editorial-team/
My name is Hugo Adan
and I need proof-reading and basic copy editing too. I already contact one Co
that can donate the pay of a part-time done-job either in Pittsburgh PA or via e-mail. The
applicant to this job has to be a person fluent in both languages, English
& Spanish (the publication will be in 2 languages). Besides, the applicant has
to be familiar with basic terminology in economics, political science & sociology
(and also familiar with Google or other translator.. they provide a very weak
approximation to intended meanings ).
I will publish a
small part of a chapter of this book in my web www.nd-hugoadan.blogspot.com ; also
in www.indymedia.org
from NY & Argentina and possibly in www.Rebelion.org (same art title with different names) in Nov
27. It will be a row copy without proof
reading, (the way it appears in my web’ daily report) so the person interested in this work will
know what this job is about. To tell you the truth, I’m a socialist and it will
be a plus if the applicant is close to this approach.
The minimum salary
expected is $20 per hour & 4 hours per day. If the applicant can work only
during weekends, it should let be noticed. For those who submit the “proof reading” there
will be a tip, not matter if they win or not the work. The article will be
submitted the day 27 of Nov, and the proof reading is expected the day 28, via
e-mail. In Nov 30 we will know the winner & everybody will receive its tip
upon address provided. Please submit a letter of your desire to participate in this
job, with emphasis on your experience. Send e-mail the day 26 or 27 before noon,
to: hueo@pitt.edu .

ZERO HEDGE
These
Are The 20 Worst Cities In The US - Spot The Common Theme Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 11/06/2015 [ Interesting article. MUST READ ]
While there is much variety among the 20 best small cities
in the U.S., the list of the 20 worst ones has one recurring theme... www.zerohedge.com
[ Todo depende del
criterio que se use para el ranking. Aquí se han considerado 4 variables para
elaborar el index: 1- AFFORDABILITY – Total Points: 25, incluye 3 indicadores. 2- ECONOMIC HEALTH – Total Points: 25,
incluye 5 indicadores. 3- EDUCATION & HEALTH – Total Points: 25, con
4 indicadores. 4 QUALITY OF LIFE – Total Points: 25 con 10
indicadores.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, IN THE WORST
CITIES NO SE DETALLA EL CRITERIO A
USARSE NI LAS VARIABLES E INDICADORES.
Si
comparamos los dos tables del Art con la lista de las mejores y las malas
ciudades tenemos que asumir que se usó el mismo criterio y metodológicamente eso
es incorrecto e invalida el análisis. Por que? porque se excluye –entre otras-
la variable polución (ozone en las grandes ciudades con industrias toxicas y
carros diesel); la polución en aguas de consumo directo (tab wáter) que viene de
ríos y lagos adonde va la basura de la ciudad (hay un lago con criadero de
truchas y está tan contaminado que se “prohíbe” –en términos medicos- comer esa
trucha por mas de una vez al mes). Muchas ciudades del Sur que refinan oil o
procesan quimicos y/o metales cerca de una gran ciudad (silicon Valley por ejemplo) sufren altos
niveles de polución cancerígena. Y hay varias ciudades que han sufrido emisión de
plutonio y derivados del nuclear waste.
..
Si
se incluyera la variable polucion y nuclear dangers y la variable sociológica como
densidad demográfica, nivel de pobreza, desempleo criminalidad, etc, las listas de ciudades buenas y malas que
presenta este Articulo quedaría parcial o totalmente alterada.

english version:
En mi
articulo anterior indicaba que IN THE WORST CITIES NO SE DETALLA EL CRITERIO A USARSE NI LAS VARIABLES E
INDICADORES. See my comments to the article These
Are The 20 Worst Cities In The US - Spot The Common Theme in http://nd-hugoadan.blogspot.com/2015/11/nov-6-15-sit-ec-y-pol.html
. Leamos parte de este
comentario:
“All dependes on the
criteria used for the ranking. To list the best cities in the US four variables
were considered: 1- AFFORDABILITY – Total Points: 25, incluye 3
indicadores. 2- ECONOMIC HEALTH – Total Points: 25, incluye 5 indicadores. 3-
EDUCATION & HEALTH – Total Points: 25, con 4 indicadores. 4 QUALITY OF LIFE
– Total Points: 25 con 10 indicadores.
“ If we compare the two table in this article ( the list
of best cities vs. bad cities) we see that the same variables were applied to
both of them. Such criteria is methodologically incorrect and it invalidate the
analysis. Why? Because
in “the worse cities” are excluded variables like pollution (ozone in big cities, with toxic industries and big amount of diesel
cars in streets). It does not include also the degradation of wáter for direct home
consume (tab wáter) given the fact that rivers, lakes and ground wáter have
been infested either by garbage deposited on them and by the industry of oil-gas
(its fracking perforations) and mineral exploration
that infest those rivers, lakes and ground water. (A recent news said that there
is a lake close a city in the US in which there is a salmon-farm business; and that
a Medical report said that such water is heavily contaminated and suggested not
to eat that salmon more than one time a month. Of course the town is aware of it
and avoid such consume, but the business continue and this fish is sell to
other cities in the US). Similar
situation happens in big cities whose dump-water is contaminates by chemicals
and heavy metals like the ones in the silicon
Valley. There are also cities exposed to emissions of plutonium y derivate of nuclear
waste. None of these variable have been considered in the listing of bad
cities.
..
Besides the variable pollution y nuclear dangers, there
are sociological variables like demographic density in cities, poverty rate, unemployment
and level of criminality, etc non considered. Apply to worse cities the four variables
designed to promote turism-industry
invalidate this study, at least the part related to worse cities is flaw. To study
opposite topics with the same variables
was the error ]. ===

The US Dollar Index is soaring (hitting its highest

Labor
Participation Rate Remains At 37 Year Low As 94.5 Million Remains Outside The
Labor Force. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 11/06/2015
In another sign that the labor market slack, at least from
the Fed's perspective, is now reaching a peak, the Household survey reported
that while the
civilian labor force rose by over 300K in October, the number of people not in
the labor force actually declined by 97K to 94.5MM (as those employed rose by
320K), following a surge of over half a million in September.
Despite this headline improvement, however, the participation rate remained at
62.4%, same as the prior month, and at a level last seen in 1977.
..
Finally, while there are many explanations why the participation rate remains so low (and continues to
decline) most notably from the Fed who said
that people "just don't want a job", the reality is that 94.5
million Americans either no longer have an interest or desire to look for a
job.
..
Labor Participation rate defined : 1.The participation rate refers to the
number of people who are either employed or are actively looking for work. www.investopedia.com/terms/p/participationrate.asp
2. The labor force participation rate
is the percentage of working-age ... Typically "working-age persons"
is defined as people between the ages of 16-64. This is the meaning used
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. www.economics.about.com/od/unemploymentrate/f/labor_force.htm

"Everything is awesome."
The Fed got just what it wanted... surge in jobs and a surge in wages -
which has sent December rate hike odds from 56% to 74%. This appears to be a
problem for everything else. The dollar has soared (EURUSD
almost a 1.06 handle), Bond yields have exploded (though
the long-end is notably outperforming), stock prices
plunged, and commodities across the board are getting hammered.

[HERE SOME DATA ON SLOWING GROWTH IN US EMPLOYMENT ]
While it may not be "the
most important jobs number
ever" (that will likely be next month's which comes just days ahead of the
all-important December FOMC decision), today's payrolls number will either reject the recent trend of slowing growth in US employment (the
first 9 months of 2015 have averaged 198K jobs, 17% lower than the 238K average
for the comparable 2014 period), or validate it which
in turn is presenting a new, major headache for the Fed which has to convince
the public that the right time to hike rates is just as job growth is slowing
down as Bullard
told Reuters overnight.
