If only Mickey had thought of a cycleway
And while I'm on the subject of the gummit summit, what the heck is a workstream.
Apparently Joan is on the job and "Masterminding a new way to save jobs".
The problem is that this is tackling the problem from the left (wrong) end.
You get the feeling the jobs that Joan would save are ones that shouldn't have been created in the first place.
Here is a better headline
"Masterminding a new way to create real jobs"
And here is my mastermind ideastream.
Let our small businesses be a cashstream rather than a taxstream for thousands of gummit servicestreams and welfarestreams. Send them downstream, preferably without a paddle.
Treasury tells it as it is
I don't mean Alan Bollards calculations of the billions destroyed in the credit crunch, but rather a damning indictment of the Helengrad years, how Clark and Cullen frittered away the best economic circumstances in a generation.
Thus, you might want to read this report in full that John Whitehead, secretary to the Treasury, presented to the summitt after Bollard gave his speech.
Whitehead talks of the changes needed to get the economy moving.
The issue of productivity is raised and he reveals how New Zealand was way behind just about everyone else during 2001-2006.
If we want good jobs and higher incomes we have to keep a focus on productivity.
So how does government help?
The role of government is to provide the environment for that to occur. At present that requires a focus around three broad areas: investment, regulation and skills.
Whitehead noted a need for credit, but more significantly pointed out New Zealand becoming increasingly regulated, much to our cost.
The sure way to kill innovation, investment and change isto have rules or laws that discourage or prevent it. We've seen nearly 30,000 new pages of primary legislation over the last decade and a slip in our competitiveness as this slide shows.
Whitehead then looked at government debt and spending, noting a structural deficit heading way into the future.
These projections keep the same spending track as present. They illustrate not simply a shock but a structural deficit. This highlights the need to reduce spending and extract much better value out of the $60 billion of core government spending.
After showing a graph revealing a growing debt burden, he continues:
No-one will want our debt to return to these projected levels - close to 80% of GDP in 14
years time.
Debt like that is a credit rating risk, will make the cost of investment and lending higher for
firms and households and represents a major financial burden. Over the next five years
the cost of debt servicing will nearly double to $4.6 billion.
All that means that while some fiscal stimulus has been warranted and is sensible, we're
deluding ourselves if we think we can simply spend our way out of our troubles.
This Summit is about working together to find new ideas and practical answers.
We want to ride out this recession in the best way we can: protect the vulnerable; maintain
and enhance our skill base; and come out better placed to seize the real opportunities that
lie ahead.
In my view the way to do that - the do's and don'ts are:
• Do prepare for the future - with better skills and innovation
• Do protect the vulnerable; not the status quo
• Don't pass on a huge debt burden to the next generation
Whiners and Slackers
Very, very close to Labour's 2008 election result.
Sounds about right. But I can't figure out why you'd disagree with this question?
Summit or nothing?
US Economy utterly stuffed
The U.S. economic contraction in the fourth quarter was deeper than the government first estimated, with other reports today signaling little prospect of relief until at least the middle of 2009.More pleasant headlines here, just for a rainy Saturday.
Gross domestic product shrank at a 6.2 percent annual pace from October through December, the most since 1982, the Commerce Department said today in Washington. Separate figures showed consumer sentiment and business activity dropped this month.
The comment that no relief possible "until at least the middle of 2009" is hilarious.
I'd say add 10 years: 2019.
But New Zealand won't be affected
The Scottish bank's loss of 24.1b was reported as comprising 7.8b of trading losses and 16.8b of writedowns caused by paying too much for acquisitions, notably ABN Amro.But, but, but, but, but we won't be affected by the banking crisis. A certain Michael Cullen told us so didn't he?
NZX chief executive Mark Weldon, chairing the jobs summit in Auckland, said the bank's withdrawal from New Zealand was a stark reminder that New Zealand could no longer rely on stimulus and funding from overseas.
"They are now largely owned by the Queen and are less willing to provide credit to Tauranga instead of Bristol it's that simple."
The fact that New Zealand investment markets had one less firm operating showed how vulnerable the country was to the global downturn, he said.

Humbug and hypocrisy in lefty land!!
Can't say I have ever been too fond of the Warehouse, with it's aisles packed with cheap, but expensive, Chinese-made tat.
When it comes to getting a bargain, I believe you do far better at Briscoes and Farmers. And the main supermarkets are better on food as well, when it comes to Warehouse Extra.
Anyway, I had to smile watching TV1 News tonight when it mentioned the Warehouse being fined over $200,000 for various dodgy practices.
So much for Stephen Tindall and his ethics, and pro-Liarbour talk of Sustainability, when his company has been shown to be the most rapacious, greedy capitalists around, misleading his customers like this.
But that's the thing about the left, they are the most guilty of hypocrites!
An idiot's guide to house prices
I am the idiot by the way. I made this median price graph up for my own use but thought I would share it.
The commentators saying that now is the time to buy, IMHO are jumping the gun.
For the simple reason that graphs do not make sudden changes in direction without good cause. I will be basing my decisions on the middle line as it shows that in 10 years (about the timing to sort the current mess out) this is where house prices should be. Personally I can't see the worst case happening as low interest rates will shore up the market and people will still need places to live. No matter what happens, property will be a long term investment once again. The days of the big jumps like we saw from 2002 to 2007 are gone.
How the US media elected Obama and gave us a president incapable of handling the global economic crisis
Remember the US elections, and the media being so 'in the can' for Barack Obama, with their knives out for Sarah Palin.
It must rank as the most disgusting spectacle that this journalist have ever seen; and I have experienced the BBC, as well as eleven or so years of journalism in New Zealand.
Now, US filmmaker John Ziegler has begun ruffling a few feathers, with his movie that opens in the US tonight.
Media Malpractice: How Obama got Elected and Palin was Targeted, highlights what might be seen as the 'death of journalism' after reporters proved unable to handle the campaign fairly.
Of course, there has been much to say about how the New Zealand media handled our own election. I recall TV3 was notably bad, and the Sunday Star-Times, along with National Radio remained firmly in Uncle Helen's camp.
However, it wasn't as biased as it had been in election 2005, and some on the left claimed Granny was in the can for National.
However, I was horrified by the far worse scene in the US, with much abuse heaped on Palin and overwhelming adulation given to the ObamaMessiah.
Now, what is the result of this?
We have a US President inexperienced and incapable of dealing with the economic crisis upon us. We have a US president making huge blunders with his appointments. We now have a public finally waking up to the pup sold to them by the media, as noted by Obama's falling ratings.
As as seems likely, the US voters will pay for the media's folly, but so will the world.
America in its time of greatest need, now has a leader who is clearly not up to the job of tackling such a crisis.
Obama's failures, becoming clearer all the time, will mean the loss of millions of jobs, a recovery delayed, and who knows what untold damage in the sphere of foreign affairs.
Wiser, more experienced heads, like John McCain's were available.
The US could have taken a diffferent route, a balanced route, reflecting more bi-partisanship since both houses are controlled by the Democrats.
But as we see a country failing miserably under Obama, and its Democrats hegemony, thanks to the Liberal media. Once the US voters realise how much this has cost them personally and their country, what revenge will they seek on the MSM?
I leave you with that other clip, taken on election day of Obama voters.
And here's Sarah Palin, interviewed by John Ziegler.
Revised version cross-posted at Barnsley Bill.
Labour's new economic "genius" strikes again
Really-Existing Socialism
The other day I was surprised to discover that the library I work in has an original edition of Walter Weidauer's "Inferno Dresden : Ueber Luegen und Legenden um die Aktion "Donnerschlag" (Inferno Dresden: lies and legends about Operation Thunderclap). It was published in East Berlin in 1965, and is noteworthy for providing a historical perspective of the firebombing of Dresden grounded in the Deutsche Demokratische Republik's "really-existing socialism" (a term that residents of the DDR considered as blackly humorous as did non-residents).
So far I've only read the author's preface and looked through the illustrations. Naturally the illustrations include dead German soldiers outside Moscow in 1941 along with a caption about the fascists freezing to death, and some reproductions of death sentences pronounced by the fascists on sensible deserters from the Wehrmacht. There are even a few illustrations relating to the bombing of Dresden, including the spectacular rebuilding of the city into ugly concrete shitheaps by the happy and industrious socialist citizens of the DDR, with the generous support of their Soviet comrades.
The author is keen to stress that we need to keep the example of Dresden in front of us, as there are forces in the West keen to see a similar bombing campaign against the cities of the DDR, this time using atomic weapons. All I can say is, I wish he'd be more specific about these forces because they sound bloody dangerous. Some time is also spent demolishing Western historians of the raid for the egregious distortions and lies with which they attempt to make the socialist saviours of civilisation from the fascist menace look bad.
So far, my main thought has been that it must have been such an unspeakable prick of a thing to visit the bookshop or library knowing that this kind of old cobblers was going to be characteristic of every single title available. It'd be like a new circle of Hell - those who enjoy reading and didn't do enough to prevent bolsheviks taking over get to be surrounded by huge numbers of books, all of them spouting laughable bolshevik propaganda.
I'm torn between the fact that this book is going to be very high in amusement value, and the fact that its subject matter is the mass murder of tens of thousands of people. To counteract the humour value of the above story, here's Kurt Vonnegut on his experience of the raid. An exerpt:
For "salvage" work, we were divided into small crews, each under a guard. Our ghoulish mission was to search for bodies. It was rich hunting that day and the many thereafter. We started on a small scale – here a leg, there an arm, and an occasional baby – but struck a mother lode before noon.
We cut our way through a basement wall to discover a reeking hash of over 100 human beings. Flame must have swept through before the building's collapse sealed the exits, because the flesh of those within resembled the texture of prunes. Our job, it was explained, was to wade into the shambles and bring forth the remains. Encouraged by cuffing and guttural abuse, wade in we did. We did exactly that, for the floor was covered with an unsavoury broth from burst water mains and viscera.
A number of victims, not killed outright, had attempted to escape through a narrow emergency exit. At any rate, there were several bodies packed tightly into the passageway. Their leader had made it halfway up the steps before he was buried up to his neck in falling brick and plaster. He was about 15, I think.
It is with some regret that I here besmirch the nobility of our airmen, but, boys, you killed an appalling lot of women and children. The shelter I have described and innumerable others like it were filled with them. We had to exhume their bodies and carry them to mass funeral pyres in the parks, so I know.
The funeral pyre technique was abandoned when it became apparent how great was the toll. There was not enough labour to do it nicely, so a man with a flamethrower was sent down instead, and he cremated them where they lay. Burnt alive, suffocated, crushed – men, women, and children indiscriminately killed.
For all the sublimity of the cause for which we fought, we surely created a Belsen of our own. The method was impersonal, but the result was equally cruel and heartless. That, I am afraid, is a sickening truth.
Keep calm and carry on!
The O-brainless One!

Planes, Trains & Washing Machines
Maybe the gummint could bail out Air NZ? Oh wait it already has. How much has that lost us?
And the previous finance minister bought a train set that is already losing us money we don't have.
Planes, trains and automobiles? Wasn't that a movie?
We don't manufacture cars any longer, thankfully.
But we do manufacture washing machines and dishwashers.
Maybe Fisher & Paykel will be our very own Planes, Trains and Washing Machines.
Ah, the pursuit of happiness
spend someone else's money.
Actually, talking about finding happiness, this is what happened to me.
When I became a Christian several years ago, I thought to myself
"Ah, I'll just look up "happiness" in my new bible and all will be revealed"
So imagine my shock when I discovered that, in my bible anyway, that the word "happy" barely rated a mention.
I eventually worked out that happiness is an imaginary target and really is only a state of mind achieved by living a fulfilling life.
Thankfully, the Bible has plenty of advise on that subject.
I recommend giving a wide berth to anyone who peddles "happiness" and even worse, its
PC new age buddy "wellness"
Marking the governments's 100 days
Audrey Young of the New Zealand Herald looks at the performance of various ministers after the government's 100 days of office.
In her report card, she's given some high marks too, including nine for the Prime Minister.
Bill English scores seven, and while I've never been a fan of Bill, I am impressed by his realisation of the seriousness of the economic situation.
Stories like him saying government sees unemployment as the country's top priority highlight a government in touch with the issues and not shying away.
There's Judith Collins too, beavering away at Corrections (I am sure Crusher will finish off Mathews).
Steven Joyce also has issues with broadband and transport to grapple, and he seems to be.
Not mentioned, is Rodney Hide tackling local government over high rates and excessive spending and waste. Well done Rodney! A nine or ten from me.
We have a government that can look back with price at its achievements over its 100 days. Things like scrapping the Electoral Finance Act, initiatives on crime, health, education, its proposed Jobs Summitt, issues Garth George also raised below.
Even so, in times as tough as this, and even with an invisible opposition leader, there will be no time for National to rest on its laurels.
Is there anything else we can say about John Key and his government's first 100 days.
UPDATE: Government says it achieved all it set out to in its 100 days.
Rejoice, rejoice! Freedom breaks out in New Zealand
Garth George today talks about freedom breaking out in New Zealand.
Schoolkids can buy pies, people can buy incandescent lightbulbs.
People are allowed to take more responsibility for themselves.
Of course, I am sure our Libertarian friends will remind us there is much more to do to fully restore the beacon of freedom on these shores.
Now, here's a reminder from Whale Oil of the cause of the return of some of our freedoms.
Something to be thankful of everyday, so as John Boy celebrates 100 Days in office, let us raise a glass to him too!
Halo starts fading
Well, it is hardly surprising.

Great News
Adolf looks forward to becoming a regular customer of Pak n Save in Wairau Rd. I hope they have a decent range of fish, shellfish and prawns, along with regular discounts on my favourite brands of shiraz and chards.
I hear Mickeys leaving town
Here is a cover sheet for his CV
and good bloody riddance
"rich prick"
"we won, you lost, eat that"
"I ripped off the high country farmers whose generosity made it possible for me to go to Christ's and now in Parliamant I propose to do the same thing again".
Rejoice, the age of 'peak shopping' is over!
"Proponents of the term consider the costs of prizing material wealth vastly outweigh the benefits.
"Selfish capitalism causes mental illness by spawning materialism, or, as I put it, the affluenza virus - placing a high value on money, possessions, appearances (social and physical) and fame.
Whoever wins the Green co-leadership, loses!
As they survey the scene, much is turning to custard for the watermelons.
You think they might have it all, but they do not.
Global Warming may have been accepted by the media and governments, but increasingly the public are sceptical, especially as the weather has been getting colder this past ten years.
And as families suffer from recession and unemployment, the environment will not be quite as high on the agenda as before, either for householders or the governments elected by them.
Indeed, the Green agenda has often been shown to be wrong, be it bio-fuels, the deadly lightbulbs, or the environmentalist opposition to bush clearances causing many deaths in the recent Victoria bushfires. Indeed, the crowing over climate change causing the bushfires will backfire bigtime over the Tasman.
Now, with our own Greens, we will see heaps of praise given to Genetix. She will be canonised by much of the media and political community in the weeks ahead, just like Rod Donald was when he died.
True, there will be bloggers like Liberty Scott, Peter Cresswell, and Cactus Kate who will point out the many faults of Jeanette Fitzsimons, but relative to her successors, she will be a giant. It will be tough to fill her shoes.
And this point will be magnified by the praise heaped on Jeanette as she departs the scene, something John Key, David Farrar and myself realise, in our relative kind words. The bigger Jeanette is built up, the smaller will appear her successor.
And what a delightful array of potential successors we have!
The mad Marxist Sue Bradford, whose best contribution to New Zealand is section 59 and wanting to ban so many other things.
Then we have the anarchic Maori lawyer Metiria Turei.
And we might even have the totally nutty Catherine Delahunty if she makes a late bid for the leadership.
In a changing economic and political climate, and with the Greens now lacking the saintly and trustworthy Genetix, there is only one way for the Greens in New Zealand and that is down.
And a new and inexperienced leader could well seal their extinction as a parliamentary force in 2011.
Let us hope so!
Liarbour's moral wilderness

Fancy a bite of Jamie's sausage??!!!
Michelle Obama- Caption contest
The Middles Classes are revolting!
Crusader Rabbit today links to Melanie Philips who gets short shrift from the Daily Mail readers by the hundred.
As KG says, the interesting bit is not so much what Mel says, but the comments from the readers below.
Mel makes the usual cry of 'racist' against the BNP, following its council by-election victory in Kent last week. It only is one council victory, but the UK media is apoplectic over the result. It's almost seen as the end of civilisation.
But why are the British middle classes revolting, such as these readers of the Daily Mail, who should be natural Conservatives; why have they turned to a party regularly painted as a bunch of fascist thugs and bullyboys? And since the council seat the BNP won was in one of the less desirable parts of Kent, it shows Liarbour voters are also turning to the BNP.
Naturally much has been said about both parties not representing the voters anymore over issues like immigration, the European Union, multiculturalism. No-one represents what might be called mainstream, small-c conservative values anymore. Dave Cameron and his Liarbour-lite Tories are seen as little better than Gordon Brown and his ZanuLiarbore.
Then we have economic pressures too, fuelling a feeling of decline in Britain, of a country and a culture at war with itself, destroying itself on the altar of political correctness. There are tales aplenty of the easy ride immigrants get, as the video posted above shows. Its bad enough supporting enough indigenous scroungers without having to fund immigrants who hate their new host country, its people and way of life.
Now we face a recession. "British Jobs for British Workers" cried Gordon Brown, a promise he knew he could not keep as it was against EUSSR law. But the people want it and it's now a rallying cry for the BNP.
And middle England, the middle class, the coping classes, as the Daily Telegraph calls them, are struggling too, so no wonder these Daily Mail readers seek sanctuary away from the two Tweedledum and Tweedledumber parties in favour of something different like the BNP, even if as a protest vote.
Now, the polls show Dave Cameron and his 'Red Tories' at 12-20% in front of ZanuLiarbore.
But surely, with Gordon Brown presiding over the destruction of a country and its economy, a country seemingly overrun with immigrants and crime, a country taxed to death and deeply in debt, a country where civil liberties and freedoms disappear fast unless you are a muslim terrorist, and a government where almost all its ministers are embroiled in sleaze and corruption, well the Tories should be invincible.
But as they are a mirror image of the party they seek to replace, I guess that is why, despite its alleged racism, its left-wing economics, that Britons are seeking out the BNP, the novelty of once again having a party that puts them first.
UPDATE: Why BNP success was no surprise, posted over at Barnsley Bill a few days ago.
Peak Shopping
Peak Shopping.
By my calculations, PS was reached in Christmas 2007.
Then the western world's ability to buy consumer goods peaked and has been in decline ever since.
The credit crunch, recession and redundancies are compounding the paradigm shift that is going on in people's minds - do I really need it/ can I afford it/did I ever really need it?
What are the implications.
Well firstly there will be many relieved men out there.
Seriously, this is why governments should be no where near bailing out companies that make consumer goods, such as our own F&P, right up to the largest electronic and car manufacturers.
The growth reports that these companies modelled ther business plans on are now fish and chip wrapping. Like rivers they must now be allowed to run their natural course. Some will make it, others will dry up.
So where is the good news.
Well firstly, people will think of smarter ways to provide goods and services. This may not involve large shopping malls were the landlord sucks up 20+%.
Secondly,our society may become smarter as we look for new ways of doing things. Actually the new ways will really just be a reinvention of the old ways which served humanity well for 1000's of years, making do, going without, simpler entertainment, basic healthy food etc.
The really good news is that NZ will become a highly desirable place to hang out.
Our stability under a business orientated low tax government ( if the Nats are up to it), the ability to produce clean commodities, the least worst state of our banking system and the ability to make an honest return on investments will see good people and money queuing up at our borders. NZ passports will be gold and our beaches and mountains full of people enjoying low cost fun.
As Dohbama and Drown destroy the value of the usd and pound, plenty of people will be looking wishfully at NZ.
Bank on 1nzd=1usd one day, maybe sooner than you think.
The World is Mine! All Mine!
History lesson
Jeanette has done a wonderful job of getting Marxism into our country.
Her well meaning pumpkin patch naivety was exactly what was needed.
The problem is that now the hatch has been opened, unlike the poor citizens of Troy, we are ready. (94% of us to be exact)
Telling it as it is!

Why are John Boy and National so popular!
The Herald Fucks It Up Again
First, the headline:-
Three strikes sentencing policy doesn't stack up, says Key
Then the actual story:-
"Prime Minister John Key says estimates that the Act Party's "three strikes and you're out" sentencing policy will cost more than $30 billion over 25 years do not stack up."
"Mr Workman estimated costs were $500,000 a bed when a new prison was built which was how he came to the $7.5b figure.
On top of that would be $1b a year annual operating costs. He said it cost $75,000 a year per inmate. As well, prison populations were already growing.
Mr Key said he did not accept the argument.
"I don't think that quite stacks up."
He said there would be no impact on prison muster numbers for a decade, as the law change would not be retrospective.
Also by the time someone was going to jail for a serious offense for a third time they would already be getting a long sentence."
So the headline has John Key saying the policy 'doesn't stack up' while the story has John Key saying the criticism of the policy 'doesn't stack up.'
This is such an appalling error that The Herald should print a retraction and apology.
Government calls delay on S92-- NBR Newsflash!!
NBR staff Monday February 23 2009 - 04:17pm
The government is to delay implementation of the controversial Section 92A of the Copyright Amendment (New Technologies Act) due to come into force February 28.
Prime Minister John Key announced at a post-cabinet press conference this afternoon that implementation of the controversial clause of the copyright legislation to be delayed until March 27.
"We are hoping that by that time we will have come up with a voluntary code of practice," Mr Key said.
If no agreement is reached, Section 92A will be suspended.
Another Bob Charles?
Not a bad start to a professional career.

Religious Vomit
The SST today contains the singularly unsurprising news that the foods people buy the most of are the ones that are mainly sugar (and before you write in to complain, as far as your digestive system's concerned white bread and tinned spaghetti just about are sugar). The news is unsurprising because that behaviour's built into us by evolution. For almost the entire period of homo sapiens' existence, our bodies have been laboriously turning meat, eggs, vegetation, nuts etc into glucose. 100,000 years ago, a big direct hit of sugar courtesy of honey or fruit was a rare treat and the fat your body laid down as a result could mean the difference between life and death later on. These days of course, you can have a big direct hit of sugar and the resulting fat deposit every single day, while at the same time never facing the food shortages that would make that fat something useful to have - but as far as your inner critter is concerned, a choice between glucose you have to process for yourself or a direct hit of sugar is still a no-brainer.
Of course, the fact that it's unsurprising people buy big cheap hits of sugar rather than food your digestive system has to process into glucose itself doesn't make it any less annoying. It's not exactly news that hitting your digestive system with a diet consisting mainly of sugar for years on end knackers your ability to produce and use insulin (mainly by constantly spiking your blood sugar levels and working your islets of langerhans to an early grave), and you end up as a type 2 diabetic. Or am I over-rating public awareness of this stuff? Either this isn't the common knowledge I'd imagined it to be, or a large proportion of the population is ruled by their inner critter. Most likely it's a bit of both.
So, yeah - we do want to encourage people to mostly stick to eating stuff their bodies have to laboriously process into glucose, not just constantly eating direct shots of sugar (whether of the Coke or white bread variety). That's a hard sell though, cos your lizard brain has half a billion years of evolutionary training to take the opposite view.
Enter the nutritionists and the politicians. Naturally, Sue Kedgeley's in there, with a proposal to ban something (nothing new there). As Danyl says, she never met a ban she didn't like. Annette King's in there as well, with a statement largely expressing ignorance (nothing new there either):
King said sophisticated marketing techniques fuel human beings' innate addiction to fatty, sugary and salty foods.
Er, this is like talking about human beings' innate addiction to breathing. The requirement we have for basics essential to the continuation of our existence is not "addiction." If Annette's managed to discover a way for humans to live without sugar, salt or fat, she should patent it immediately.
We don't expect any better from politicians, of course. But you could be entitled to expect better fron professional nutritionists. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
For me, the most annoying thing about all this food blather is the constant bollocks about "healthy" vs "unhealthy" food from nutritionists. For the record, "unhealthy" food is food that contains bacteria that will make you ill, is contaminated with something poisonous, etc. However, very little of the food labelled "unhealthy" by nutritionists comes into that category. When nutritionists talk about "healthy" and "unhealthy" food, they're applying moral rather than scientific labels.
Fact: Coke is good, "healthy" food. It's excellent food - so excellent in fact, that according to the nutritionist quoted in the SST, a litre of it provides enough energy for 2 hours walking. The only problem with it is that you basically have no requirement whatsoever for such excellent, top-grade food when you spend most of your time sitting on your arse. It's like putting avgas in your Daihatsu Scirion - excellent, high-grade fuel, but there's not much point when ordinary old 91 unleaded meets your requirements.
In short: the food on that list is "healthy" food. The "unhealthy" bit is you sticking so much of it in your gob that you end up as a mobile lard mountain with a pancreas that just can't keep up any more.
It would help with this stuff no end if we stopped pretending nutritionists and epidemiologists were scientists, and instead put them in the social sciences where they belong. Most of what nutritionists have to tell you about "healthy" vs "unhealthy" food comes from doing studies, identifying correlations, and coming up with theories to account for those correlations - if there is some basis on which this is different from sociology, I've yet to see it.
How about this: instead of a whole lot of moralising bullshit about "unhealthy" food, we just do some education on the connection between type 2 diabetes and a diet based mainly on the excellent, high-grade, "healthy" food on that list? Along with some serious anti-smoking-style horror-show shit about the amputated limbs, impotence, blindness and life on a dialysis machine following your kidney failure that are the eventual outcomes of uncontrolled or undiagnosed type 2?
Nats on 56%: Mr Fill-in, the Invisible Man
Good Enough For John The Baptist
Mr Turei should do two things.
First, go and read his Bible and second, realize that the cicada was far more nutritious than his fat laden fried potato chips or his Big Mac. It was full of fibre, protein, minerals, vitamins and other goodies.
Matthew Chapter 3, verse 4:-
4John's clothes were made of camel's hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
It's the Sale of the Century!!!
The Sunday Star-Times today looks at the bargains to be had in the property world.
Indeed, this is my experience of the property market up here in the Bay of Islands.
Barnsley Bill tells me the 'bottom has fallen out of the market.'
Years of Jafas coming up here and building their dream homes, and now they must sell.
If only I can get a full-time job rather than work for myself. As long as Barclays Bank doesn't collapse, I should be fine in the recession.
After years of bleating about high house prices blocking people out of the housing market, prices returning back to near-normal multiples will not only be good for them, but in time for us all.
If you haven't read it yet, scroll down to yesterday's piece on the recession we need to have.
A quick note to John and Mark
As someone with close relatives who are suffering, both physically and financially, from the collapse of Blue Chip, I was appalled to read that Mark Bryers is still receiving money from one his "companies". How the hell can that still be happening?
I know this request, (see below), will set some people off on a tirade about things that seem too good to be true usually ending being just that, but from my observations of those embroiled in Blue Chip, it seems that they are mostly ordinary people with not a lot of investment experience or financial know how, and who were willing to TRUST those who put these proposals to them. The kind of folk that wanted a slightly better than modest return on their investment so that they could help fund a new car, a holiday, or a better bequest to their families. The kind of folk that, sadly, fall easy prey to the sharks that convinced them there was no risk in mortgaging their homes to fund deposits that were often stolen, but were supposed to have been put towards the purchase of apartments that had been seriously overvalued before they had even been built.
So here's my note of advice to John Key, who's probably well over getting helpful hints from me. But tough, my vote doesnt come cheap.
"JK, you could do a lot worse than going out of your way to create an environment in NZ where people can invest their savings in New Zealand enterprises confident that it won't be stolen to fund the lifestyle of some fat f..kwit. An environment that would also contains provision to ensure that those charged with such thefts can't thumb their noses at their victims from foreign locations, and where government agencies move heaven and earth to ensure that these matters are dealt with in a timely and just fashion.
The last shower that passed themselves off as government in this country failed dismally to do this, but perhaps that's because they felt that only rich pricks had money to invest, which I believe cost them more than a few votes last November.
So show us what you can do John.
Oh, and Mark.......
Slow fire. Testicles. Fuse wire. Suspended over.
That would wipe the grin off your face.

I'll bet if Veitch had been a Maori, Jackson would have been all over the airwaves with excuses. There is nobody as racist as a Maori racist. I hope Veitch sues his arse off and sends the sanctimonious and despicable prick bankrupt.
What ever happened to the notion in this country that you are innocent until proven guilty?
What ever happened to perversion of the course of justice? Sure this matter is sub judice and Jackson has just made sure that few New Zealanders will be able to give a fair hearing to all the evidence. I hope he is charged and convicted for contempt of court as well as sent bankrupt.

The lies about the recession we need to have
The recession is a market correction of a hugely over-inflated housing market (it will correct, and home values will/may return to a more realistic level of appreciation). The recession is a reaction to borrowing on a massive and wholly unsustainable scale. The recession is the global economy snapping back, as rampant growth surpassed the finite resources we have available.
We should stop thinking of the recession as something we can spend our way out of, and just swallow our medicine. Governments, rather than trying to perpetuate a bankrupt economic status quo (see the reduction in V.A.T.), should be using funds to provide basic safety nets for those who fall through the cracks.
We should stop lying to ourselves. We need to be honest. We can't afford to continue spending money we don't have. Continuous growth is an illusion. Markets will fluctuate. That's the way it is.
We spent more than we had. We borrowed beyond our means. And now we have to suck it up.

Opening Day start an honour for Dickey
When I think about Opening Days, 2013 comes to mind at Rogers Centre. I was fortunate enough, and what an honour it was to get named the Opening Day starter for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2013. I thought that I knew what loud was, but when I took the mound for the Blue Jays that day, it gave it a new definition, let's just put it that way.
Especially with the roof closed. It was cold outside, the roof was closed, the people were packed, we had a lot of fanfare about the team and I couldn't hear anything. It was a really fantastic experience and what an honour it was to start that game.
As I look forward to starting on Opening Night in 2014, it will be in St. Petersburg in another dome facility, which will be equally as loud, I'm sure. You have all of these nerves that come with it, and by game time, they start to subside a little bit. But there's a lot of excitement and anxiety that goes into starting an Opening Night game.
The hope is that because I've had a few in the past, I'll be able to calm those nerves, take some deep breaths and give my team a good start. But every year, it doesn't change however many that you get to do. It's always a very big honour.

- 1. Diane Douglas: Arizona's Queen of Common Core
by Jennifer Reynolds, Creator of Arizonans Against Common Core and member of Mommy Lobby AZ
The second rebrand of Common Core is no more than Lipstick on a Pig. Superintendent of Public Instruction Diane Douglas continues to travel around the state in 2018 on the campaign trail telling crowds that she "Stopped Common Core" as part of her 2014 campaign promise. This is far from the truth! Common Core was Rebranded a second time on December 19, 2016 when the 2016 Arizona English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics Standards were adopted by the State Board of Education (SBE) with an 8-1 vote. See Arizona State Board Of Education Approves Rebrand Of Common Core Standards and State Board Of Education Ignores Governor, Parents And Own Policy.
SBE member Jared Taylor was the only vote opposing the adoption of these standards and he stated, "The bottom line is that I am very disappointed that we kicked the parents to the curb and ignored the will of the voters when they elected Diane Douglas. Yet she led the way today; we just renewed Common Core."
Comments from Mommy Lobby, Arizonans Against Common Core, Opt Out AZ
IGNORED by Supt Douglas, ADE, SBE Exec Director, Gov. Ducey's Educ. Policy Director
Mommy Lobby AZ (ML), Arizonans Against Common Core (AACC), and Opt Out AZ reviewed the 1st and 2nd drafts of the 2016 Arizona ELA and Mathematics standards and submitted our comments directly to Superintendent Diane Douglas, as well as to the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) Standards Staff, Carol Lippert and Suzi Mast; the former State Board of Education (SBE) Executive Director, Karol Schmidt; and Governor Ducey's Education Policy Director, Dawn Wallace numerous times in 2016.
Comments Compiled by Parents and Teachers
IGNORED by Arizona Legislators, SLAPPED DOWN by Supt. Douglas
- 2. Open Letter to Dr. Bob Branch, Clueless About K-12 Classrooms
Dear Dr. Branch,
Several parents were shocked to read your comments in the 1-18-18 briefs. It's obvious that you don't understand what is really going on in Arizona's classrooms —which is very disappointing, since you are a candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction.
You have a massive misunderstanding on the recess issue. The traditional three 15-minute recess has been eliminated in most schools across the state. Many schools are down to one 10-minute recess per day, and some have no recess at all! These are not college students. They're young children! They need to move! Studies have shown that physical activity improves academic performance. Americans are well known for their creativity and ingenuity —unlike China where academics are all that matter. We foster entrepreneurs and inventors in the USA. Recess promotes these desirable American characteristics. Recess is correlated with improved student behavior in the classroom. Recess also promotes social skills and helps kids learn how to deal with bullying —which is the opposite of giving them "comfort lamas and safe places," as you stated.Click here to read more
- 3. More Common Core Double-talk by Diane Douglas
When does "repeal and replace" not mean "repeal and replace"? When Supt. Of Public Instruction Diane Douglas says it.
Incumbent Douglas has been cranking out media releases, including taking a recent victory lap on the anniversary of the State Board of Education's adoption of "Common Core Rebrand #2." Her false "Common Core has been repealed and replaced" narrative has recently appeared in Frosty Taylor's 12/20/2017 Briefs. It also appeared in the 12/19/2017 issue of the Yellow Sheet.
For the record, the Common Core Standards haven't been repealed or replaced. At most, they've been "tweaked."

- 4. Barry Jackson on "Teaching to the Test"
Barry Jackson, who tutors children in the East Valley, sent the following letter to Betsy Devos, United States Secretary of Education.
Dear Secretary DeVos:
For several months I have been tutoring a student whose school seems to spend an inordinate amount of time preparing students for standardized tests. First it was two days "reviewing" for a Galileo test. Now she says "we are not doing anything" but preparing for another standardized test, and this is taking several days. Along with "fall break"(two weeks) and "early release" Wednesdays, it is at least even money that she is learning more from me in one hour than she receives in a week in school.Click here to read more
- 5. High Stakes Testing - Expensive, Wasteful, Ineffective Child Abuse
Hopefully, you read the letter that educational tutor Barry Jackson sent to Betsy DeVos. In it you can see the damage that is being done to our children by the Arizona State Board of Education when they, along with then Gov. Jan Brewer and Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne, in 2010, brought the Common Core Machine to Arizona. They did this in hopes of "winning" millions of dollars from our federal government via Race to the Top.
Since that time, Common Core has been rebranded, twice. Further, the pro-Common Core State Board has ensured that the damage continues. These people consider themselves "experts," a term that is being met with cynicism by a growing number of critically thinking people.
"Board member Jared Taylor, who has been consistent in his opposition to Common Core, was the lone "no" vote.
"The bottom line is that I am very disappointed that we kicked the parents to the curb and ignored the will of the voters when they elected Diane Douglas. Yet she led the way today; we just renewed Common Core," stated Taylor. Arizona State Board Of Education Approves Rebrand Of Common Core Standards
If you have any doubts about the negative effects of High Stakes Testing, there are many others who agree with Barry Jackson. They also say it is counter-productive, expensive, wasteful, and it is also child abuse.
As you read some of the comments below from the real experts, both local and national,--there are thousands more that I have not quoted--please recall that the Arizona State Board of Education voted in April 2017, to make 90% of a school's A-F grade dependent on how well their students scored on the High Stakes test, AZMerit.Click here to read more
- 6. Middle School Suicides Double as Common Core Testing Intensifies
Did you happen to see this article by Steven Singer? More importantly, did PARENTS see it? Sure, school is hard. Kids complain. If they really, really complain, parents go to the teachers. Teachers reassure them. Principals and Superintendents reassure them. After all, they're the "experts," not parents. Kids are just "softer" than when we went to school. Right?
Wrong. Something is very, very wrong.
"Here's a high stakes testing statistic you won't hear bandied about on the news. The suicide rate among 10- to 14-year-olds doubled between 2007 and 2014 – the same period in which states have increasingly adopted Common Core standards and new, more rigorous high stakes tests. For the first time, suicide surpassed car crashes as a leading cause of death for middle school children. In 2014, the last year for which data was available, 425 middle schoolers nationwide took their own lives."
In April 2017, the Arizona State Board of Education voted to give Arizona schools a grade of A-F, based on student AZMerit test scores. Members of the State Board of Education are "experts," too. Right?
According to Jared Taylor, with his moral compass intact, voted against this travesty. He stated:Click here to read more
- 7. Frank Riggs for Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction
Yes, I'm supporting Frank Riggs for Arizona's next Superintendent of Public Instruction, and I'm downright enthusiastic about it. Why? Without a doubt, he's the most qualified. Also, he puts Students first, not the institution of public education. He respects and welcomes dialogue with Parents, not paid, self-interested lobbyists. He is a proven education leader for school choice, local control, and quality education. He believes that quality education means focusing on classroom teaching and learning, and on recruiting and retaining the very best teachers for Arizona's kids. He has promised to advocate and work tirelessly for a high-quality education to help every child reach their full potential, regardless of where they live or their socio-economic circumstances. He also intends to make the Arizona Department of Education fully transparent, responsive, and accountable to parents, educators and taxpayers.
Please take a look at his website, and you'll see that not only does he "say" all the right things, but he has also "done" all the right things.
Frank Riggs has earned the endorsements of leaders and parents who want the education of Arizona's children to be the First Priority! See below for some of their statements about Frank Riggs, and then read his record of leadership, and you'll know why these dedicated people are fighting for Frank Riggs as Arizona's next Superintendent of Public Instruction:
Jared Taylor has stated this about Frank Riggs: "Frank Riggs is the most qualified candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction in Arizona's history." Not only is Mr. Taylor an anti-Common Core constitutional conservative serving as a Member of the State Board of Education and Gilbert Town Councilman, he is also the business manager for Heritage Academy. One of the missions of this charter school is to ensure that its students learn about the lives, beliefs, and accomplishments of the heroes of America – our founding fathers and mothers – and to better understand the values and principles which governed their lives and upon which they built the American nation.
Mr. Taylor is a leader of the Mommy Lobby, with whom I have been privileged to work for the last 6 years, focusing on defeating The Common Core Machine in Arizona.Click here to read more
- 8. AZMerit High Stakes test now accounts for 90% of a school's letter grade
An article published on April 28, 2017 in the Arizona Daily Independent, reports on a recent vote by the Arizona State Board of Education to use the results of Common Core-aligned AZMerit high stakes test to grade public schools.
Arizonans Against Common Core, Mommy Lobby AZ, and Opt Out AZ, released a statement after the vote: "Parents advocating for their children and teachers are dismayed by the A-F Accountability plan adopted by the Arizona State Board of Education. One high stakes test now accounts for 90% of a school's letter grade. This decision reveals the SBE believes parents are incapable of selecting schools on their own. Few other factors matter to the state; however, parents make thoughtful school choices based on their own values, research, and judgment."
So, the AZ. State Board of Education is using the controversial, unvalidated, one-size-fits all, secretive, high stakes AZ Merit to "evaluate" every public school in Arizona. The only people who have seriously donned their thinking caps are SBE board member Jared Taylor, Choice Academies president Ms. Lisa Fink, and commentators "Listen to a Mom" and Edward Cizek. The letter grade a school receives using AZ Merit scores as the most critical criteria, will be useless to parents. Do the board members actually believe otherwise? What a waste of time, effort, and money. Ms. Fink, who is quoted extensively, uses Consumer Reports as an example of what truly passes for an evaluation of a product. I would add that we use far more criteria evaluating the nutritional value of canned soup and cereal.Click here to read more

I think it was Ronald Reagan who once quipped that an economist is someone who sees something working in practice and then asks whether it might also work in theory. (A good one, I have to admit).
Many can relate to this sentiment. It is based on the idea that any given body of data largely "speaks for itself." We do not need abstract theories to interpret the world and help guide our decision making. Just look at the evidence, and use some common sense.
Well, one problem with this is that "common sense" frequently means different things to different people (e.g., my common sense; not yours, you dope). If it is indeed true that the data speaks for itself, how is it possible for people not to agree on what the data is saying? Evidently, data does not always "speak for itself;" it is subject to interpretation. And when data is limited, it is frequently difficult to discriminate between competing interpretations (theories). Scientists struggle to find the most plausible interpretations--a set of tentatively-held hypotheses, destined for modification (or even destruction) as the science progresses.
Why am I saying this? Well, in part because Krugman seems to toss a bone to this general idea in the opening paragraph of his article:
One thing that's been conspicuously missing from the back-and-forth among economists about fiscal stimulus is anything resembling a fully specified model. To some extent that's O.K. [...] But there are dangers in relying entirely on implicit theorizing: you can find yourself saying things you think must be true, but that turn out not to be true even in a simple model with maximizing agents.
What's this? It is a rather odd statement coming from a person who generally speaks as if he knows "the truth" on any given matter. But here (and recently elsewhere), he laments the absence of anything resembling a "fully specified" (read: "fully coherent") model. What's this all about?
Perhaps it is an implicit admission on his part that the historical evidence (as of Dec. 29, 2008) does not "speak for itself" --at least, not in a manner that would support his long-held and steadfast belief on this matter. And so, if the Conscience of a Liberal can finally admit to this, I should hope that others might now feel free to follow in his example.
Alright then, on to the main point of his article. His goal, quite clearly, is to demonstrate that what he strongly believes to be true actually possesses some theoretical legitimacy. He chooses as his framework of analysis a more-or-less standard New Keynesian (NK) model. The NK model traditionally downplays financial market frictions and highlights, instead, frictions in nominal wage/price adjustments. I say this to alert the non-specialist to the fact that Krugman wants us to understand the current liquidity trap as a phenomenon that arises in a world where financial market imperfections play no central role. (This may or may not be a legitimate abstraction for the purpose at hand--I admit to having my doubts).
On his blog he warns us that the paper is likely to be incomprehensible (because it was written in a hurry). Well, it is not so much incomprehensible as it is incomplete. It is, as he admits, simply a sketch of an argument.
And his argument is roughly this. Imagine that the economy is hit by a "shock" that renders households temporarily more patient; i.e., they now wish to delay their consumption purchases. This generates a large decline in consumer demand--on the flip side, a "savings glut." (Note: in the recent recession, consumption remained relatively stable--it was investment spending that tanked). The economy "wants" a lower interest rate and normally, this desire is accommodated by the Fed. But when the zero lower bound is reached, the lack of nominal price adjustment implies that current GDP (income) must decline to frustrate the glut in desired saving. The decline in GDP could be averted, or at least mitigated, by an appropriation of resources from households (in the form of a lump-sum tax), which the government is required to spend (consume).
Maybe there is something to this--I don't know. The result appears to hinge critically on the assumption of sticky prices, and one might legitimately wonder whether there is enough "stickiness" out there to render the effect quantitatively large and persistent. The interested reader may wish to consult: When is the Government Spending Multiplier Large? (Christiano, Eichenbaum and Rebelo, 2009). Their calibration appears to have an implausible degree of price ridigity built in, but please correct me if I am wrong.
I would like to say a few things about the way the K-man concludes his analysis:
The bottom line is that while we usually think of Keynesianism as the preserve of ad hoc models, in this case doing it "right"--using a macromodel with maximizing agents and a proper concern for intertemporal constraints--actually suggests a very strong case for big government spending in the face of a liquidity trap [...] So let's get those projects going.
Hmm...a case for big government spending? That's quite the conclusion from a qualitative model. Oh well, just a minor slip of the tongue, I'm sure.
Second, I do not think of Keynesianism as the preserve of ad hoc models (even if Krugman may at times be). I think that JM Keynes was a very careful theorist, especially given the tools at his disposal. And I would like to stress that Keynes was not ashamed of theory:
But [this book's] main purpose is to deal with difficult questions of theory, and only in the second place with the applications of this theory to practice." - John Maynard Keynes, The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money, p. v.Finally, Krugman leaves the impression that he has proven something very robust; a property that would hold in any NK model. A recent paper suggests that this is not the case: Fiscal Policy in an Expectations Driven Liquidity Trap (Mertens and Ravn, 2010). Here is the abstract:
Apparently, there is still much to learn...even if your initials are PK.
We examine the impact of fiscal policy interventions in an environment where the short term nominal interest rate is at the zero bound. In the basic New Keynesian model in which the monetary authority operates a Taylor rule, globally multiple equilibria arise, some of which display all the features of a liquidity trap. A loss in confidence can set the economy on a deflationary path that eventually prevents the monetary authority from adjusting the interest rate and can lead to potentially very large output drops. Contrary to a line of recent papers, we find that demand stimulating policies become less effective in a liquidity trap than in normal
circumstances. The key reason is that demand stimulus leads agents to believe that things are even worse than they thought. In contrast, supply side policies, such as cuts in labor income taxes, lead to relative optimism and become more powerful.

Mondo Announces Ben Affleck Poster Series Including 'Argo,' 'The Town' and 'Gone Baby Gone'
Posted on Friday, December 6th, 2013 by Germain Lussier
Before Ben Affleck becomes Batman, he's getting his own Mondo poster series. The company just revealed they've got a new series of limited edition prints coming up, based on the director's previous films Gone Baby Gone, The Town and Argo. Here's what the actor/director said about the company:
I've always loved Mondo and their passion for film, as well as their talented stable of artists. I was initially drawn by their ability to offer a unique perspective on so many beloved films and am thrilled to see my films become the newest additions to their work.
While we love the blockbuster and cult films the company usually targets, immortalizing Affleck's small dramas feels likes a smart, surprising departure. Check out the images below. Read More »

The Florida men's swimming team ended Auburn's streak of 16 straight SEC Championships on Saturday night.
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The Florida men's swimming team ended Auburn's streak of 16 straight SEC Championships on Saturday night.
Auburn's SEC run was the third longest streak for a single program in conference history. The UF men finished first with 1,408 points and had four individual championships and one relay championship.
"It's great for the guys," UF coach Gregg Troy said. "We have been chasing Auburn and nipping at their heels every year, and we've been close a couple of them. I think this kind of takes us over the top from the standpoint that it gets the monkey off our back. It's a good building point towards the NCAA meet and it's not an end in itself, but it certainly is a good conference win."
This is the 34th SEC title for the men's team, the most of any school in the conference as Auburn is the next closest with 18. Florida last won the SEC Championship in 1993, breaking a 20-year streak and having finished runner-up for 11 years. The Gators collected four titles, had 10 top three finishers and 27 top eight finishes. Junior Marcin Cieslak led the team with two titles as he won in both the 100 and 200 fly. "The SEC is always competitive," said Troy. "When you add two good teams like Missouri and Texas A&M, this meet was actually very comparable with the NCAA meet a couple of years ago in a lot of events." UF's women finished third with 1,190.5 points. The Georgia women won their fourth straight SEC Championship and Texas A&M finished second. The Gator women had three individual titles, as junior Elizabeth Beisel won the 400 IM and 200 back for the third straight year and freshman Natalie Hinds won the 100 fly in the nation's best time. "We are really fortunate to have the great staff we do here at Florida," Troy said. "The other coaches, the kids came from every different training group and did a great job. Martyn Wilby, Anthony Nesty, Leah Stancil, Donnie Craine with the divers and Steve Jungbluth with the sprinters, they all did a great job with the swimmers." The Gators finished the final night of competition at the SEC Swimming & Diving Championships adding two more titles to their collection to give them eight total. Beisel won the women's 200 back and sophomore Matt Elliott won his first SEC title, finishing first in the men's 200 breast.

Meridian, Miss. Pictures that are too graphic to show on television have made their way onto dozens of websites this week, since members of New York's Satanic Temple traveled to Meridian over the weekend to perform a ritual they call a "pink mass" in retaliation to the Westboro Baptist Church at the gravesite of Catherine Johnston, the mother of the church's founder Fred Phelps Jr. Magnolia Cemetery Owner Bill Arlinghaus says he had no prior knowledge that this was going to take place.
"I own the land, so it is my private property. I would not have granted permission, nor will I, and we will be pursuing charges to the maximum extent we can. We've talked to several local and statewide governmental agencies and law enforcement agencies thus far."
In all of his years in the cemetery business, Arlinghaus says he's never seen anything like this where he's worked, and he's never heard of an incident like this occurring anywhere.
"I've been in the cemetery business for 15 years in 5 different states, and I have never seen anything like this. This is the actions of a few, and I don't want to give them overly too much attention because that's really what they're trying to seek."
The Satanic Temple is encouraging people to perform their own "pink masses" at Johnston's gravesite, which include same gender couples kissing in the belief that it will turn Phleps' mother into a homosexual in the afterlife, but Arlinghaus says that kind of activity will not be tolerated in his cemetery.
"We will not only be on the lookout for that, we will do everything we can to have them arrested and removed from the premises. They are not welcome to perform disrespectful ceremonies. All ceremonies that happen at the cemetery must be scheduled through the cemetery and have the advance approval of the cemetery."

SEOUL, South Korea — Tech-savvy South Korea has nearly as many cell phones as people, officials said Wednesday.
There were 45.6 million mobile phone subscribers in South Korea in December in a country with a population of 48.6 million, Sung Suk-ham of the Korea Communications Commission said.
That's over 93 percent, a slight rise in rates from six months ago. The number is expected to rise further in the coming year, despite the economic downturn, Sung said.
While some people have more than one subscription, the figures indicate one of the highest cell phone saturation rates in the world.
Cell phones have become a vital part of everyday life in South Korea, used for shopping, surfing the Web, bank transactions, sending e-mail, listening to music as well as talking.
The country — home to Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics, the world's No. 2 and No. 4 manufacturers of mobile phones — also has a high rate of Internet usage.
In addition to an average of 2.75 mobile phones per household, more than 15.4 million South Koreans — just under a third of the population — have high-speed Internet, the commmission said.
