Wedl lecture: Oscillatory motion on frozen gradients

[Stephen Guerin]

** Talks will be held in 8 minute intervals on Tesuque Chair **

TITLE: Oscillatory motion on frozen gradients

TIME: Wednesday, January 9, 2008 12:30p - 4

LOCATION: Santa Fe Ski Basin <www.skisantafe.com>

ABSTRACT: Empirical investigation of the emergence of transverse waves as
gravitational gradients are imposed on skiers. Secondary focus will be on
modeling positive feedback in the emergence of  mogul fields and the spatial
frequency impacts from snow boarders.

The snow is great! Boarders and skiiers to spend the afternoon at Santa Fe Ski
Basin.  Cars leaving 624 Agua Fria at 11:45a or meet up at Totemoff Bar/Grill at
2:30p for break.

The New Mexican has a story about power outages with potential limited lifts:

The ticket office assures me that Millenium and Tesuque chair are open but the
Quad chair to the far right is being worked on. All other areas are accessible
and Totemoff Bar/Grill are also open.

We're a go...

Hope you had better luck than I did on Tuesday, when I was rewarded for
my drive up the mountain by having my ass parked on the Quad for half an
hour. I gave up waiting and went to Taos today, well worth the trip. We
can perhaps compare notes tomorrow...

Guys, this just seemed worth mentioning...

There's probably only one reason for a real economic crash.   That is
group habits of expecting growing returns as a rule, that happen to run
into diminishing returns instead.    In that case a powerful means of
relief, usually overlooked, is reversing the ill-fated habit, causing
the underperforming resource to perform as expected, but by spending
investment assets on it rather than demanding increased returns from it.


What intuition tells us to do is the opposite, of course, to join the
flight to safety to protect returns. That is itself, however, the
collapse of confidence which does the lasting harm.  Alternately, people
could keep money from collapsing by spending investment earnings, system
wide.

It's unusual, but the 'prudent man rule' can be taken to include the
natural meaning of 'prudence'.    It would be better than rushing to
increase our shares of things that are about to become worthless as a
consequence.
