An Alberta cabinet minister has apologized for referring to members of B.C.'s NDP government as "a bunch of shitheads" at a meeting of municipal politicians in Edmonton on Wednesday.
Economic Development Minister Deron Bilous said the salty language was a result of his passion and frustration over tactics the B.C. government has used to delay the start of Kinder Morgan Inc.'s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion to the West Coast.
"In my frustration, I had a poor choice of words and for that I do apologize," Bilous said. "But we will continue to stand up for this pipeline, for this project. And this is in the national interest."

Ayo Dosunmu is the star Illini basketball always needed
Tumblr media
How Chicago native Ayo Dosunmu left a lasting legacy at Illinois.
Ayo Dosunmu put on an all black outfit when he woke up to go to school on October 19, 2017. He changed his Twitter avatar to a blank black box, and so did the rest of his large, supportive family that had been visible throughout the recruiting process. Dosunmu had whittled down his college choice to Illinois and Wake Forest, and he wasn’t about to give any clues before he revealed his decision at the Jordan Brand store in the heart of downtown Chicago.
Dosunmu was considered the top basketball player in the city and a borderline five-star prospect depending on which recruiting service you trusted. He was exactly the type of recruit that had broken the spirit of Illini fans so many times before.
Illinois basketball didn’t always feel like a punchline, but it had become one in the years following its 2005 Final Four run. Illinois captivated the country behind Dee Brown, Deron Williams, and Luther Head, but it couldn’t turn an iconic team into future wins on the recruiting trail. It started to feel like making the Illini your second choice was a rite of passage for top local recruits who were deciding where they would play college basketball.
Eric Gordon verbally committed to Illinois only to end up at Indiana. Jon Scheyer became a legend for his scoring outbursts at suburban Glenbrook North playing for the brother of Illinois coach Bruce Weber, but he still picked Duke over heading to Champaign. Sherron Collins and Julian Wright picked Kansas. Jalen Brunson picked Villanova. Cliff Alexander, then the No. 2 overall prospect in America out of Chicago’s Curie High School, mistakenly picked up an Illinois hat for a moment before revealing that he’d spend his lone college season in Lawrence. The reaction video of Illinois fans watching Alexander’s mishap felt like the program’s defining moment since the Final Four run.
Illinois fans remembered Shaun Livingston wearing an Illini jersey to school at nearby Peoria the day before picking Duke. They had pegged Quentin Snider and Jeremiah Tilmon as saviors only to see each renege on their oral commitments and eventually go to Louisville and Missouri, respectively, instead. The thought of a highly-touted recruit listing the Illini as a finalist was enough to trigger feelings of dread and resignation for anyone who cared about the program. These stories only ended one way.
Illinois coach Brad Underwood reportedly didn’t know Dosunmu’s intentions when the lights went off in the Jordan Brand store and a short video played thanking everyone who helped the point guard get to this point. Kanye West’s “Homecoming” blared from the speakers as the lights came on and Dosunmu entered the room wearing a white Illini polo. Illinois basketball, for once, didn’t come in second.
Three and a half years later, Dosunmu has become the best guard in college basketball, and maybe even its best player. He would have led Illinois to its first NCAA tournament appearance since 2013 as a sophomore last season before Covid-19 stopped daily life as we know it. Now he has Illinois lined up for a No. 1 seed.
“I just felt that playing for my home state and investing in my home state meant more than it would at another school,” Dosunmu told SB Nation. “I thought I had a chance to do something special at Illinois.”
This is the impact Illinois basketball was always waiting for when it pinned its hopes and dreams on high schoolers who ultimately decided they’d rather play college basketball somewhere else. Dosunmu was the right player at the right time to finally make it happen.
Dosunmu started his high school career in Chicago playing at Westinghouse, a formerly proud program that had been relegated down to the inferior White division when he showed up as a freshman. The team appeared to be entering a rebuilding phase, but Dosunmu wouldn’t let that happen. He put up gaudy scoring numbers all season and led Westinghouse to a conference championship that put the school back to the Red division with the rest of the Public League powers.
Still, Dosunmu wanted to compete for state championships and knew he needed a bigger stage for that. He decided to transfer to Morgan Park, one of the city’s premier programs. The Mustangs were led by Nick Irvin, the boisterous and affable head coach whose family also runs the city’s top grassroots program on Nike’s EYBL circuit, the Mac Irvin Fire. Irvin had coached plenty of great players, but he quickly realized Dosunmu could be better than all of them.
“The first day of practice, I knew he had the chance to become one of the best players to ever come out of Chicago,” Irvin told SB Nation.
If Irvin saw his long-term potential, Dosunmu knew it wasn’t his team just yet. Morgan Park had a senior guard in Charlie Moore who was positioning himself as the top player in the city and a top 100 recruit nationally. Irvin pleaded with Dosunmu to take over more often offensively, but the sophomore was content to defend and distribute while Moore pushed for Mr. Basketball. Morgan Park was upset in the super-sectional round of the state playoffs, but Dosunmu’s reputation was starting to take off.
He debuted on the EYBL’s 17U level in the spring and started opening eyes. His first scholarship offer came from Illinois-Chicago and assistant coach Ron ‘Chin’ Coleman. Illinois and then-head coach John Groce offered shortly after. Before long, Dosunmu had gone from unranked to a top-40 recruit flirting with five-star status on some publications.
Suddenly, Dosunmu was crowned the next big thing in the city. With Moore off to play college ball at Cal, Morgan Park would be his team. Irvin says Dosunmu worked as hard as any player he’s ever been around heading into his junior year, often going from hours-long practices with Morgan Park straight into individual skill training with his father Quam. Irvin found a player who hated being coddled and wanted to be pushed to the limit by his coach.
“It’s either state championship or bust,” Irvin recalls telling Dosunmu. “It’s going to come down to you closing out games and closing out teams. I always told him people remember players that close games out like MJ and Kobe. His junior year, he won us a lot of games late.”
Now nearing 6’5 as a point guard, Dosunmu was becoming a takeover scorer who thrived going to the basket and was starting to make progress with an awkward-looking jump shot. He powered Morgan Park through the Public League gauntlet and into the state semifinals, where he suffered a season-ending ankle injury in the first five minutes of the game. Morgan Park would win a state championship without him.
Dosunmu went back to the EYBL circuit months later and certified his borderline five-star status. USC, Xavier, NC State, and Wake Forest were all-in. Illinois had hired a new head coach in Brad Underwood, and he hired a new assistant: Chin Coleman, the same coach who gave Dosunmu his first scholarship.
Dosunmu and his family didn’t want to let speculation over his college decision hang over his senior year. He got together with his inner circle — his parents Jamarra and Quam, his sisters Joselynn and Khadijat, his brother Kube — and made a decision that felt natural for him.
“Illinois is our state program,” Dosunmu’s father told SB Nation. “We want Illinois to be on top. We believed we had the right pieces and could turn it around.”
“We like challenges. We like building things. We’re a hard working family. Illinois was a perfect fit.”
Dosunmu played through another leg injury as a senior, but he wasn’t going to let it keep him off the floor. After leading Morgan Park back to the state title game, he scored a record 28 points in the final outing to bring the Mustangs back-to-back championships.

Dosunmu didn’t have much time to heal up after high school season — he was invited to try out for USA Basketball’s U18 team in the FIBA Americas Championship, made the team, and flew to Ontario for the competition. There, Dosunmu teamed with current NBA players Coby White, Cole Anthony, and Tyrese Maxey and finished sixth on the team in scoring as the Americans won the gold medal. It was another impressive accomplishment in his prep career, but his body never had much time to recover from nagging leg and ankle injuries.
Dosunmu was hailed as the Illini’s savior when he committed, but those around him sensed it wasn’t going to happen overnight. Illinois had lost two key players to transfer over the offseason in Mark Smith and Michael Finke, leaving a young team without much proven talent or depth in the front court.
Illinois was swept out of the 2018 Maui Invitational. It started 1-7 in Big Ten play and finished only above Nebraska and Northwestern in the conference. It had the second-worst defense in the Big Ten and an offense that ranked No. 83 in the country. This was a young team and a bad team by any measure, but there were flashes of the player Dosunmu would eventually become. He closed out a win against Michigan State with a pull-up three, and beat Ohio State with a catch-and-shoot triple from NBA range. He led the team in scoring, but his efficiency — 43.5 percent from the field, 69.5 percent from the foul line — left a lot to be desired.
Dosunmu was projected as a borderline first round pick throughout his freshman year. If some expected him to leave school for good, his father wasn’t one of them.
“He didn’t pass the eye test to me,” Quam Dosunmu said. “I knew he wasn’t ready for grown men at the time because his body hadn’t healed.”
Dosunmu made the surprising decision to announce his return to school without even testing the draft process. He was back for his sophomore season with a goal of going from top prospect to top player.
Illinois got a big boost going into the season with the commitment of Kofi Cockburn, a mammoth seven-foot, 290-pound center from Brooklyn by way of Jamaica. Cockburn provided a much needed infusion of talent as the No. 43 recruit in the RSCI while also filling Illinois’ biggest need. Finally, the Illini had a big man who could fortify the paint on defense and provide interior scoring.
The Illini lost close games to Maryland, Miami (FL), and Missouri to start the season, but things fully started to click in the heart of conference season. Illinois rattled off seven straight wins against Big Ten opponents during one stretch, and they closed the regular season as winners of five of six. Dosunmu was the catalyst and was fully growing into his reputation as one of the best closers in the sport.
He iced a win over Wisconsin with a step-back three. He finished off Northwestern with a deep pull-up. He used his size to bang home a 15-foot game-winner over Zavier Simpson and Michigan. He hit a bomb to beat Indiana and a mid-range shot to down Iowa. Dosunmu improved his scoring average to a team-best 16.6 points per game and was named All-Big Ten First Team. Illinois was ranked in the 30s in efficiency on both ends of the floor and set to get its first NCAA tournament bid since 2013.
Then the pandemic hit.
“We had a chance to win the Big Ten Tournament and I had a chance to improve my stock,” Donsumu said. “But Covid had other plans. I tried to accept it for what it was.”
Covid-19 changed life as we know it for everyone, but it felt particularly devastating for a 20-year-old on the precipice of accomplishing what he had worked so hard for. Again, Dosunmu had a decision to make: turn pro or return for his junior year. To hear his family tell it, he may have made a different choice if not for the pandemic.
“We’re a family of planners,” Quam said. “There was too many uncertainness that came with draft process, with the G League during Covid. We probably wouldn’t be doing an interview right now if not for the pandemic.”
Dosunmu himself also said it was a difficult question to answer:
“I pretty much took it one year at a time,” Dosunmu said. “Talking to my family, they really helped me make the best decision for myself and for my long-term future. My mom always told me you don’t have to save this family. We’re in a great financial situation. I think that allowed me to put in the work I needed.”

The success Dosunmu has experienced as a junior is the direct result of a hard-charging offseason meant to transform his body and his skill set. He owes the former to Illinois strength and conditioning coach Adam Fletcher. The work didn’t stop after hours of lifting. Fletcher also overhauled Dosunmu’s diet and took it upon himself to see that the point guard was eating enough even when he didn’t have the appetite for it.
“Baked chicken, macaroni, mashed potatoes, salad,” Dosunmu recalls. “He’d give me a big plate and say you gotta eat all of this. It came a point where he would sit down at the table with me and watch me eat and make sure I digested it right.”
From the time he entered the program until now, Dosunmu says he put on at least 25 pounds of muscle. The player he is today wouldn’t be possible without it.
When it came to fine-tuning his skill set, Dosunmu went back to the only trainer he’s had his entire life: his family. His father Quam and his brother Kube worked to remake a three-point shot that bottomed out as a sophomore. For as good as Dosunmu was last season, he knew only making 29 percent of his three-pointers wasn’t going to cut it.
The elder Dosunmus recorded every shot Ayo was taking in his training sessions and compared it to what they saw in games. When they found an attempt that looked good, they would go back to the floor and try to replicate the mechanics with a focus on his elbows and follow through. They held him to a high standard, not considering each drill complete until he made 80 percent of his shots.
“It took so many long nights in the gym,” Dosunmu told SB Nation. “Frustrating nights. Threw so many balls all over the gym to get to the point where I got to now.”
Dosunmu has been one of the very best players in the country from the start of the season. Along the way, he’s helped make the Illini one of the country’s very best teams.
Underwood has spread the floor around the two-man game of Dosunmu and Cockburn with electric results. Pick-and-rolls including passes make up half of Dosunmu’s possessions, and Illinois has scored in the 88th percentile in the country on those play types. Dosunmu has thrived driving the ball to the basket since his high school days, but now he knows how to read pick-and-roll coverages as a passer and has more confidence in his pull-up shooting.
Almost every area of Dosunmu’s game has leveled up as a junior. His 30 percent assist rate is a career-best, up from 21 percent. He ended the regular season making 40 percent of his three-pointers, a massive improvement from last season, even if it’s still on modest volume. He’s getting to the line more than ever — a 34 percent free throw rate, up from 25 percent each of his first two years — and he’s making the freebies when he gets there. The point guard who was a 69 percent free throw shooter as a freshman now makes 78 percent from the foul line. He’s pulled off the impressive feat of having his most efficient scoring season (57.1 percent true shooting) while posting his highest usage rate (30 percent) yet.
Illinois has a top-10 offense and top-10 defense, one of only three teams in America that can say that. Right now, Dosunmu is the only player in the country to average more than 20 points, five assists, and six rebounds while shooting better than 50 percent on two-pointers and 40 percent on three-pointers.
The late game heroics have, of course, been there again. He hit a catch-and-shoot three to bury Indiana, a pull-up to beat Nebraska in overtime, an NBA-range three to finish off Northwestern, and a driving layup to defeat Ohio State.
Dosunmu made that last shot while wearing a black mask after suffering a broken nose at the end of a close loss against Michigan State. He doesn’t love how the mask affects his vision, but it has a way of making him look even more intimidating.
The Illini are finally back in the NCAA tournament, and they aren’t just happy to be there. With a likely No. 1 seed next to their name, Dosunmu is thinking about the Final Four and the national championship. Anything less will ultimately be a disappointment.
When asked why he broke the trend of hometown stars spurning the Illini, Dosunmu looked forward instead of backward.
“Five to 10 years from now, the legacy I leave at my home school will mean more than anywhere else.”
That legacy — one of the great players in the history of Illini basketball — has already been cemented. The final chapter just might be the best part yet.

# 4 in NEWS 1130's Top 10 of 2018: Trans Mountain purchase - NEWS 1130
Tumblr media
VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130)-- Few energy tasks captured more headings this previous year than the Trans Mountain pipeline growth. It inspired enormous demonstrations, triggered a mini-trade war between western neighbours, and evaluated the Trudeau government's commitments to environmentalists and First Nations.
The multi-billion dollar project would efficiently twin the existing Trans Mountain pipeline from the Edmonton location to Burnaby, nearly tripling its capability to 890,000 barrels of diluted bitumen each day. It would also increase tanker traffic in the environmentally-fragile Burrard Inlet 7 times over.
Growing opposition
The job dealt with opposition from the beginning, but as building ramped up in 2018, so too did the demonstrations. Several large "Stop Kinder Morgan" rallies took control of the streets of Vancouver and other significant cities during the Spring, and demonstration camps turned up as soon as again near Kinder Morgan's work sites on Burnaby mountain.
Hundreds of people were detained for breaking a BC Supreme Court injunction to remain 5 metres far from those websites, including Federal Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, and then-NDP MP Kennedy Stewart, who would end up being the mayor of Vancouver simply a few months later on.
"I feel I have no choice, at this moment, but to do this to enhance the deep, deep opposition to this job that's felt by my constituents," Stewart stated at the time.
Bad blood between western neighbours
B.C. Premier John Horgan, who promised throughout his election project to use "every tool in the tool kit" to oppose the Trans Mountain expansion, was also trying to make great on that promise.
In January, Horgan's government revealed a proposition to limit increased shipments of diluted bitumen while it studied the environmental impact of a prospective spill. The province also appealed a National Energy Board (NEB) decision that allowed Kinder Morgan to bypass regional regulations during building.
Trans Mountain quickly ended up being a sticking point in between B.C. and its eastern neighbour.
"The federal government of British Columbia is taking direct target at the tasks and financial security of numerous countless Canadians-- consisting of tens of countless British Columbians-- by threatening to restrict what can go inside a pipeline-- which they don't have the authority to do," Alberta Trade Minister Deron Bilous stated in a declaration.
In retaliation, Premier Rachel Notley briefly stopped Alberta's imports of B.C. red wines, and later on legislated the capability for her province to restrict the westward circulation of oil, or even suffice off totally.
A $4.5 billion gamble
However all the opposition was currently taking its toll on Kinder Morgan.
In April, the company revealed it was suspending all non-essential work on the pipeline, putting thousands of energy tasks and possibly the financial future of the country in limbo. It likewise provided Ottawa and Victoria until completion of May to reach an offer to get the task moving, or the business would desert it.
On Might 29th, the federal government doubled down on its support of the Trans Mountain growth, revealing it would spend $4.5 billion of taxpayer cash to acquire the task, and all of Kinder Morgan Canada's core possessions.
"Our company believe that this is the very best way to safeguard thousands of great, well-paying tasks, and the safest and most effective method to get our natural resources to world markets," stated Federal Finance Minister Expense Morneau.
"Make no mistake, this is an investment in Canada's future."
Taxpayer supporters and environmental groups were outraged, as were numerous Very first Countries groups, who implicated the Trudeau federal government of betraying its promises to safeguard their land and sovereignty.
"I believe this is a kind of dinosaur thinking," stated Ben West with Tanker Free BC. "The government of Canada must not be facilitating environment modification. It must be taking actions to move us beyond it."
An unanticipated twist
On the very day that Kinder Morgan shareholders authorized the sale, the Federal Court of Appeals overturned the NEB's approval of the Trans Mountain growth, mentioning a failure to sufficiently seek advice from Native groups.
"I can not start any words to reveal our feeling of elation, joy and pleasure," Squamish councillor Khelsilem stated following the judgment. "Native individuals have actually won. This project is stopped in its tracks today."
The choice also said the energy regulator need to reconsider the task's environmental evaluation and consider how increased oil tanker traffic will impact marine life.
The federal government, selecting not to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court, offered the NEB an enthusiastic deadline of Feb. 22, 2019, to finish the new evaluation.
Regardless of the setback, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has actually re-affirmed his dedication to the task, arguing it is in the very best interest of all Canadians to persevere. Native groups on the other hand, have actually vowed to continue opposing the project.
The Trans Mountain expansion is far from the only pipeline project to face extreme opposition, and as average international temperature levels rise and the forecasts of climate scientists end up being significantly alarming, multi-billion dollar fossil fuel projects will only end up being more difficult to develop.
"Pipelines are a challenging service to be in," states UBC political researcher Kathryn Harrison.
"There is stronger opposition than ever before to the oil market. I believe oil market officers are well conscious of that."
Harrison points out a theory by German financial expert Hans-Werner Sinn called the "Green Paradox:" when environmental policies end up being more stringent, the owners of nonrenewable fuel source resources are incentivized to speed up resource extraction.
"I presume that's what we're seeing with the oil market. They know that the writing is on the wall-- that in the years to come, their markets either need to vanish or we're going to deal with much larger obstacles as a planet, and they are trying to get what they can to the market while they can."
Harrison includes the Trans Mountain controversy has also laid bare contractions within the Trudeau federal government's policies: particularly, trying to reveal environment leadership on the world stage while expanding Canada's production of heavy oil for export.
It's a contradiction which might not be lost on voters in 2019.

New Post has been published on News Twitter
New Post has been published on http://www.news-twitter.com/2017/03/17/ny-times-fed-raises-interest-rates-for-third-time-since-financial-crisis-43/
Ny Times: Fed Raises Interest Rates for Third Time Since Financial Crisis
Tumblr media
The Fed’s sobriety did not appear to make much of an impression on investors. The stock market’s heady march that began after Mr. Trump’s election continued apace. The Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index rose 0.84 percent to close at 2,385.26 Wednesday, moving up sharply after the announcement. Some said the Fed was still a long way from doing anything that might hurt.
Continue reading the main story
“The first four to eight rate hikes are the low-hanging fruit,” said Deron McCoy, the chief investment officer at SEIA, a Los Angeles firm. “The real test will be whether the economy can withstand positive real rates. And that still seems to be a 2019 topic.”
Some analysts said the Fed will want to see an impact from its actions. “Policy makers hike rates to tighten financial conditions,” said Ellen Zentner, the chief United States economist at Morgan Stanley. “If this easing of financial conditions on the back of today’s hike are sustained, that would tell policy makers they need to do more.”
Ms. Zentner said she expected the Fed to raise rates again at its June meeting. The Fed’s policy-making committee next meets on May 2 and 3.

Why the Fed Raised Rates for the Third Time
The Federal Reserve is raising interest rates for the third time since the financial crisis after being at near zero.
Tumblr media
OPEN Graphic
Continue reading the main story
She noted that the Fed’s longer-term outlook is less clear. Ms. Yellen’s term as Fed chairwoman ends in February, and Mr. Trump could then replace her.
The Fed, charged with maximizing employment and moderating inflation, is close to achieving both goals. The unemployment rate fell to 4.7 percent in February, consistent with the normal churn of people moving among jobs. And after several years of concern that prices were not rising fast enough, inflation is reviving. The Fed’s preferred measure rose 1.9 percent over the 12 months ending in January, close to its 2 percent annual target.
Continue reading the main story
“The basis for today’s decision is simply our assessment of the progress of the economy,” Ms. Yellen said at the postmeeting news conference. “And it’s been doing nicely.”
The Fed, which had made more inflation a central objective, said on Wednesday that it was now focused on stabilizing inflation. Ms. Yellen took the opportunity to note that inflation may now rise a bit above 2 percent, just as it has been below 2 percent the last few years. “It’s a reminder 2 percent is not a ceiling on inflation,” she said. “It’s a target.”
Continue reading the main story
The Fed’s increased confidence was reflected in a new round of policy forecasts it also published Wednesday. An increased number of Fed officials are expecting to raise rates at least twice more this year. Only three of the 17 officials who submitted forecasts expect the central bank to move more slowly. There was a similar coalescing around tighter policy for the following two years, marking the first time in recent years that the Fed’s quarterly economic forecasts have shifted toward a prediction of tighter monetary policy.
This is the third time the Fed has raised rates since the financial crisis. The first hike came at the end of 2015 and the second almost exactly one year later. This time the Fed waited just three months. The benchmark rate remains below 1 percent, a very low level.
Continue reading the main story
People with credit card debt are likely to see an immediate increase of about a quarter percentage point in their interest rates. The effect on longer-term loans is less direct, but the average rate on a 30-year mortgage rose by half a percentage point over the last year.
Continue reading the main story
The nation’s largest borrower, the federal government, will also feel the pinch of higher rates. The Congressional Budget Office expects federal interest payments, measured as a share of the economy, to double over the next decade.
What the Fed Rate Change Means
Nelson D. Schwartz, a Times economic correspondent, explains the latest move by the Federal Reserve on The Times’s Facebook page.
Savers are unlikely to benefit immediately. Banks tend to raise interest rates on loans more quickly than they raise rates on deposits. Last week, the average rate on a six-month certificate of deposit was 0.14 percent. Last year at this time: 0.13 percent.
Continue reading the main story
The Fed’s move to raise rates puts it on course for a slow-motion collision with President Trump, who has repeatedly promised to increase economic growth through policies including cuts in taxation and regulation and more spending on infrastructure and defense.
Fed officials have emphasized that the economy is already growing at roughly its maximum sustainable pace; faster growth would therefore lead to faster increases in interest rates.
Some economists and liberal activists argue that the Fed is raising rates too quickly. Narayana Kocherlakota, an economist at the University of Rochester and a former member of the Fed’s policy-making committee, noted that strong economic growth continued to pull people into the job market while wage growth remained relatively weak. That suggests, he said, that the economy has not yet returned to full employment.
“We should be seeing faster wage growth with this level of employment growth if we were close to full employment,” Mr. Kocherlakota said on Twitter before the Fed’s decision.
Continue reading the main story
Mr. Kocherlakota’s successor as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, Neel Kashkari, cast the sole vote against raising rates on Wednesday.
Continue reading the main story
The Fed’s assessment of economic conditions remained quite measured. The economy expanded by just 1.6 percent in 2016, and there is little sign of an acceleration during the first quarter. Fed officials continue to forecast a Goldilocks economy, with the unemployment rate remaining at 4.5 percent and inflation around 2 percent for the next three years.
Ms. Yellen played down surveys showing a sharp rise in the optimism of consumers and business executives since the presidential election, noting there is little evidence that such surveys predict spending decisions.
Continue reading the main story
She said that Fed officials spoke regularly to business leaders, and that many were undoubtedly in “a much more optimistic frame of mind.” But she added that many of those executives have adopted a wait-and-see attitude — just like the Fed itself.

off the rack #1286
Monday, November 4, 2019
 Tailgaters are one of my driving pet peeves. I have many. I was accosted by one this morning while driving home from the airport at 4:15 AM after dropping off family. I have been rear ended twice so I'm very sensitive to cars that follow too closely. When I couldn't see the headlights in my rear view mirror I took my foot off the accelerator to allow my car to slow down gradually to the speed limit since we were going a little faster than that. The driver seemed to get the message and backed off a little. Once I started to speed up, it was back way too close again. It then pulled out and passed me and the car in front of me on a double yellow line on the airport parkway. I hope that person doesn't wind up causing an accident in their hurry to get where they're going.
 Conan the Barbarian #10 - Jason Aaron (writer) Mahmud Asrar (art) Matthew Wilson (colours) VC's Travis Lanham (letters). We find out why Conan is being sacrificed at long last. A wicked witch and her hell spawned offspring have finally done the Cimmerian in. I hope they don't go with zombie barbarian after this.
 Ironheart #11 - Eve L. Ewing (writer) Luciano Vecchio (art) Geoffo (layouts) Matt Milla (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). This isn't the first time a close family member of a super hero turns out to be a super villain. Miles and his uncle Aaron come to mind. It's till a good shocking plot device though and the last page will make you gasp.
 Invisible Woman #4 - Mark Waid (writer) Mattia De Iulis (art) VC's Joe Caramagna (letters). This is an interesting take on Susan Richards but it could easily have been a Black Widow story. This will only have any impact on me as a fan if there are references of her past spying in other stories that Sue is in. The penultimate issue ends with Sue in deep doo-doo and a plane load of children about to be blown to smithereens. The last issue should be cool.
 DCeased #6 - Tom Taylor (writer) Trevor Hairsine with Neil Edwards (pencils) Stefano Gaudiano (inks) Rain Beredo (colours) Saida Temofonte (letters). Why didn't I listen to my little voice and pass on reading this mini? The zombies win. The end.
 Runaways #26 - Rainbow Rowell (writer) Andre Genolet (art) Dee Cunniffe (colours) VC's Joe Caramagna (letters). Doc Justice becomes the team's benefactor while they figure out where they're going to live. They had to leave their old hideout due to nearby construction. I like that the team is going into action next issue but I don't trust the Doc. He's too good to be true.
 Batman Annual #4 - Tom King (writer) Jorge Fornes (art pages 1-29, 38) Mike Norton (art pages 30-37) Dave Stewart (colours) Clayton Cowles (letters). This is basically poorly illustrated daily entries from Alfred's diary of cases that Batman takes on. The point is to show what a busy boy Batman is. I can suspend belief as well as the next Bat fan but chasing a bank robber across the roofs of buildings on horseback defies logic. That was the first case. Then Batman slays some dragons the next day. Dragons. I almost stopped reading. Fortunately, the later cases were more interesting. Overall however, I would give this a pass unless you're a Batman completist.
 Red Goblin: Red Death #1 - Just in time for Halloween, this $4.99 US Norman Osborn and Carnage symbiote mash-up villain will make your blood run cold with all the blood running on the pages. There are three stories here all lettered by VC's Joe Sabino.
 "Great Responsibility" by Rob Fee (writer) and Pete Woods (art) has Norman failing to stop Carnage from going on a killing spree.
 "Big Mouth" by Sean Ryan (writer) and Pete Woods (art) has Norman bumping into an old college buddy and paying him back for some old slight.
 "The Wayside Darkness" by Patrick Gleason (writer) Ray Anthony-Height (pencils) Marc Deering (inks) Dono Sanchez-Almara with Protobunker (colours) has young Normie Osborn being groomed to be a murderous maniac by his grandfather. I forgot that little Normie was infected by the Carnage symbiote too.
 I keep reading Carnage stories hoping to find some redeeming quality to the character and most of them don't present any. That's why I'm not a Carnage fan.
 The Last God #1 - Phillip Kennedy Johnson (writer) Riccardo Federici (art) Sunny Gho (colours) Tom Napolitano (letters). Discover a whole new fantasy world in this richly illustrated comic book from DC's Black Label. It's got a Game of Thrones feel but with a bigger element of Sword and Sorcery. The art is gorgeous.
 Excalibur #1 - Tini Howard (writer) Marcus To (art) Erick Arciniega (colours) VC's Cory Petit (letters). There's a lot going on in this reboot but I do like that it's still centered around Captain Britain. Things start with Morgan Le Fay and a new gate from Krakoa to her Otherworld realm. Brian and Betsy Braddock's connection to Otherworld plays a significant part in this story. I was wondering why Betsy didn't want people to call her Psylocke anymore and we find out on the last page.
 Basketful of Heads #1 - Joe Hill (writer) Leomacs (art) Dave Stewart (colours) Deron Bennett (letters). Most of this debut isn't as gory and creepy as the cover suggests but I have a feeling that it will be eventually. The first page has someone walking around with a basket with at least two talking heads and I don't mean the rock group. Then we cut to 1983 and meet Liam and June, two young lovers in Maine. Throw in four escaped convicts and an 8th Century Viking axe and you've got me sucked into this story. I really liked the writing because it connected me to all the characters in the story. I want to find out what the deal is with the heads.
 Savage Avengers Annual #1 - Gerry Duggan (writer) Ron Garney (art) Matt Milla (colours) VC's Travis Lanham (letters). We find Conan in South America as he wanders north and runs afoul of some human traffickers. One victim curses her captors and that alerts Daimon Hellstrom. The barbarian and the Son of Satan meet while rescuing the women at a slave auction and are joined by the Black Widow. Conan's got a crush on Nat now. I love these Conan adventures in the modern world and I hope the Cimmerian makes it all the way into Canada.
 Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #13 - Tom Taylor (writer) Ken Lashley, Todd Nauck, Ig Guara & Dike Ruan (art) Rachelle Rosenberg (colours) VC's Travis Lanham (letters). "You Say You Want a Revolution" stonged me but it didn't stop me from reading this fun issue. Spidey teams up with the Fantastic Four to revisit Under York, the city beneath NYC ruled by an evil dictator. The dictator's daughter, who opposes his rule, helps to overthrow him. I'm glad that threat is gone now.
 The Superior Spider-Man #12 - Christos Gage (writer) Mike Hawthorne (pencils) Wade von Grawbadger (inks) Jordie Bellaire (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). After making a deal with Mephisto last issue Otto returns as the cold-hearted Doctor Octopus to battle the eight-armed Norman Osborn from another dimension. I thought this title has been superior to The Amazing Spider-Man recently and I am sad to see that this will be the last issue. I hope that's it's for now and not forever.
 Contagion #5 - Ed Brisson (writer) Adam Gorham (art) VC's Cory Petit (letters). I read this whole thing because there are super heroes in it that I like. Fighting zombies isn't very interesting and the way the heroes defeated the villain was pure crazy comic book made up stuff and that's what I read comic books for.
 Harleen #2 - Stjepan Sejic (writer & artist) Gabriela Downie (letters). We get a bonus origin story of Two-Face in this issue. The budding romance between Doctor Harleen Frances Quinzel and the Joker is unfolding slowly and naturally in this insightful origin story of Harley Quinn. This character has evolved so much in the hands of Stjepan Sejic from her first appearance in Batman Adventures #12, an all ages comic book, by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm. What surprises me is that I was made to feel sympathy for the Joker, a villain who I find very hard to like. I can't wait to see the transformation of Doctor Quinzel into Harley Quinn in next issue's conclusion.
 Silver Surfer Black #5 - Donny Cates (writer) Tradd Moore (art) Dave Stewart (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). Wow, this 5-issue cosmic awakening is mind-blowingly epic. The Silver Surfer makes the ultimate sacrifice in his battle with Knull, God of Darkness. How Norrin Radd emerges from this fight makes for a major change to this iconic hero. My fervent wish is for this to lead to a new regular series written by Donny Cates. Artist Tradd Moore's close collaboration with this story is obvious in how well his images coalesced with the captions in each panel. I loved all the different ways that he drew the Silver Surfer. I was in awe just flipping through the pages marvelling at the colours and images. You will see that Silver Surfer Black is the perfect title for this story. Buy it when it comes out in book form if you didn't get this mini.
