USM bands rock Space Gallery

This past Tuesday, two USM connected bands, Marie Stella and the Rattlesnakes, opened for the New Jersey based punk band Screaming Females at Space Gallery in Portland.

Marie Stella kicked off the show with a new song titled "Lonely is Better," which showed off USM alumna Sydney Bourke's sweet soprano vocals, powerful bass-playing abilities and growing songwriting talent. Throughout the set, Bourke was well complimented by the stereo playing of guitarists Bryan Bruchman and Matthew Erickson and the strong rhythmic foundation of drummer Jon Donnell. USM junior Katherine Hulit, the band's relatively new backup vocalist, filled out their lively stage show by gleefully jumping around during their songs. At one point she even leaped into the crowd and danced with the audience before shyly climbing back onto the stage to finish the set.

After a short intermission, during which more people joined the already sizeable crowd milling around the venue, the Rattlesnakes started a raucous set that drew the attention of everyone present. Lead singer Tara Bincarousky, a senior at USM, revved up the audience with her high, forceful vocals and manic hand gestures. At one point, she too jumped into the crowd and danced with some friends in the remnants of a small mosh pit that had formed during the previous song, before returning to her bandmates for a solid finish.

Screaming Females played a spellbinding set that delivered on their bio's promise that they are "2009's answer to Sleater-Kinney's 2006 breakup." Lead singer and guitarist Marissa Paternoster channeled Corin Tucker's vocal strength and combined it with a relentless guitar style that kept the audience in visible awe. The band said little except to introduce themselves, but their set showed the talent that is responsible for the trio's recent rise to national notoriety. The band finished the show with an extended instrumental in which Paternoster strangled the notes from her guitar with such tenacity that it was a wonder her fingers weren't bleeding by the end of the song.

All three bands stayed true to the DIY Punk theme of the evening and won the crowd over with their belief in what they were playing, a feeling that was carried into the audience and created some new fans by the end of it.

The power to win over an audience will be an important one for Marie Stella in the coming month. At the end of October, the band will play their first two out of state shows at the legendary CMJ Music Marathon in New York City, Oct. 24, followed by a show in New Jersey, Oct. 25. They hope to use their New York area shows to shed light on the talent in the Portland music scene. "I think it's unfortunate more Maine bands don't get exposure," says Hulit, "not just for the bands but for the potential fans out there."

Blogger has benefits removed over Google AdSense payments

A lawyer made redundant during the economic downturn has had her benefits suspended – because she earns cents a day from her personal food blog.

The graduate started STL Meal Deals, where she posts local restaurant offers and recommendations, after being laid off from her position at a law firm in New York earlier this year.

Like many amateur bloggers hoping to generate a little pocket monry she signed up with Google AdSense, which placed relevant adverts against her postings.

She received a small fee – a matter of cents – every time a visitor to her site clicked on an advert. In the six months since launching she had raised just $238.75, barely more than a dollar a day.

The lawyer, who did not want to be named, told Forbes magazine that she declared the earnings to the New York State Department of Labor, which initially told her that they would not affect her $405-a-week benefits.

But the woman has now had her unemployment payouts suspended while the department investigates whether the Google AdSense money should be classified as "residual" – which can be discounted – or the fruits of self-employment, which would lead to a deduction in her weekly cheques.

The department told the magazine that the issue of small-scale advertising income from blogs and websites was still "uncharted territory", although it is likely to become a more common problem as growing numbers of people seek to make money from producing online content.

In the meantime, the woman has removed the AdSense adverts from the blog, saying she is frustrated at being "treated with suspicion and punished".

To kiss your lips,
To hold your hand,
To kiss you in the rain
is all i only dream..
if only i can...


let the rain fall upon us,
Then take me by the hand,
and hold me tight,
kiss me goodnight,
as if its our only night...


We're wet in the rain...
As we both love to walk in the rain
let it fall,
as we kiss in the rain...


I always dream that
your arms around my neck,
I'm pullin you in closer
as we slowly kiss in the rain
as the rain falls...


We laugh we run,
We dont hide till the sun rise...
if only everyday was as beautiful...
the rain would fall...


We kiss and laugh till we fall,
Wouldn't that be a wonderful day?

Central Banks Prop Up Dollar

By all accounts, the decline of the US Dollar has been measured, and without incident. This, despite the fact that most investors reckon the Dollar is doomed, both from a long-term and a short-term perspective. What, then, is preventing an all-out collapse?

Personally, I think the best answer is that Central Banks (and their sponsoring governments) don’t want the Dollar to collapse. In other words, a schism is forming between private investors and public government, whereby investors (on a net basis) are rooting against the Dollar, while Central Banks are rooting for it. That’s not to say that there is a global conspiracy involving Central Banks, designed to prop up the Dollar. Rather, it is that Central Banks are simply trying to protect their short-term financial interests, and long-term economic interests. By this, I mean simply that foreign Central Banks have everything to gain from a strong Dollar, and seemingly everything to lose from its collapse.

From an economic standpoint, foreign Central Banks also benefit from a strong Dollar, especially those whose economies are powered by exports. “A stronger local currency relative to the dollar attracts foreign investment and tempers domestic price pressures by keeping import prices in check, but also cuts into the competitiveness of the country’s export sector.” Given that inflation is currently a moot issue whereas economic growth remains tenuous, Central Banks have made it clear that they currently favor weak currencies. “If (their currencies have) too much strength and the U.S. recovery falters, it’s bad for emerging market growth,” and could even lead to a so-called “double-dip recession.”

In order to alleviate this possibility, many Central Banks have intervened directly in forex markets and depressed their currencies through the purchase of Dollars. During only one trading session earlier this month, “Asian central banks said to be intervening in currency markets overnight by buying dollars included South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines and possibly, Indonesia, according to analysts.”

Meanwhile, Central Banks in industrialized countries are using increasingly strong rhetoric to try to talk down their currencies. The Banks of Canada and England have achieved modest success in the last few weeks in convincing investors that overvalued currencies would be met with decisive action. The Royal Bank of Switzerland has intervened several times, while the European Central Bank has expressed concerns about “volatility” (code for the rapid appreciation in the Euro) in forex markets. It’s still not clear where the Bank of Japan stands. The newly appointed Finance Minister has already flip-flopped several times, settling finally on a course of action that would prevent the Yen from rising too high and threatening the nascent recovery.

Consider also foreign Central Banks’ collective holdings of US Treasury securities, which increased by nearly $800 Billion over the last year, a large portion of which was accounted for by the Banks of China and Japan. According to the most recent Federal Reserve data, they are collectively adding to their stockpile at a pace of $10 Billion per week. As the WSJ explains, “The inflows highlight the challenges facing nations with large dollar holdings, particularly developing countries. A weaker dollar is, in theory, bad for their investments as it eats into returns when translated back into local currencies.”


In other words, continued foreign Central Bank investment in US Treasury securities is perhaps rooted less in investment strategy, then in the simple desire to prevent their current holdings from depreciating. At the same time, those banks that intervene directly in forex markets often have little choice other than to hold their forex reserves in US Treasuries.

You can see from this that the idea of an alternative reserve currency would actually run counter to the interests of many of these Central Banks. With the exception of a few (i.e. Iran, and to a lesser extent, China) that would like to see the Dollar fail for political reasons, the vast majority of banks have a vested interest in the Dollar remaining where it is. Otherwise, they would witness the value of their Dollar-denominated assets collapse, as well as a collapse in exports to the US.

It looks like, then, there will be a showdown at some point between the Central Banks and investors. If you accept the notion of efficient markets, then it should be obvious who will win in the long-term. On the other hand, you can’t underestimate the determination of some of these banks.
