Boonsboro Warriors
Coach: Steve Mason, second year
Last year: 22-4, won Class 1A West and state championships, defeating St. Michaels for the state title.
Returning starters (6): Dalton Shank (Sr., SS), Ryan Nolan (Sr., 1B), Josh DeRocher (Sr., P/2B), TJ Kalagher (Sr., 3B), Adam Mathias (Sr., SP/CF), Peyton Mason (Jr., C).

Notes: Mason begins his seventh season with the Boonsboro program. … DeRocher hit a three-run double in the ninth inning to lift the Warriors to the state title. … Boonsboro has played in the last two 1A championship games.
Coach's outlook: "We look to have another strong year with six returning starters from last year's state championship team," Mason said. "We have added a few more strong arms to the starting rotation this year and filled the two openings in the outfield."
Broadfording Lions
Coach: Scott Remsburg, first year
Last year: 11-6, reached the Mason Dixon Christian Conference tournament final.
Returning starters (3): Alex Kehr (Jr., P/SS/OF), Jeremiah Kehr (So., C/P/INF), Tyler Remsburg (So., SS/2B/3B).

Coach's outlook: "We are in a rebuilding mode with a young squad of 11 players," Remsburg said. "However, with that said, we have a few returning starters who have shown growth from last season's experience and appear ready to step up and lead this season. The team has its goals and it is working hard every day towards achievement."
Clear Spring Blazers
Coach: Mark Shives, first year (second stint)
Last year: 9-10, lost in first round of Class 1A Section II playoffs.

Coach's outlook: "This group has showed that they want to work and get better," Shives said. "It will be interesting to see what identity the team forms throughout the season. This team will have a mixture of all ages, as there will be starters from all four classes, with only two returning starting seniors — Avey and Hose — from last year. Like any team, pitching will have to come together for us to be competitive in the region."
Grace Academy Knights
Coach: Mark Koontz Jr., sixth year
Last year: 18-4 won Mason Dixon Christian Conference regular season and tournament titles.
Returning starters (6): Brayden Quirple (Sr., P/C/INF), Todd Stocks (Sr., P/2B/OF), Brad Summers (Jr., INF/P), Brady Bakner (Jr., OF/1B/P), Ryan Angles (Jr., C/P/INF), DJ Eby (So., OF/P)
Other returnees: Jarrett Harper (Sr., 2B), Kyle Lowery (Sr., OF/P), Toby Hollar (So., 1B/P), Trae Grove (So., 3B/2B), Ian Klick (So., INF/P).

Coach's outlook: "We ended last season on a nine-game winning streak with key wins over difficult opponents," Koontz said. "We're returning a very experienced core from that team. I believe we're poised to pick up where we left off. This is a very fun and energetic group of boys who like to work hard and win. They understand the value and payoff of working hard in practice. We have yet another grueling schedule with 14 non-conference games, including invites to play in the D.C. Baseball Classic and the Larry Wadel Classic."
Hancock Panthers
Coach: Jacob Foreman, fourth year
Last year: 10-8, lost in first round of Class 1A West Section I playoffs.

We took a huge step in the right direction last year by notching some key wins against our rivals. This confidence is noticeable and apparent within all baseball activities as we prepare for an exciting season."

Returning starters (6): Daniel Hendershot (Sr., CF/P), Tyler Horst (Sr., C/INF), Jordan Peterman (Sr., INF/OF), Howard Robinson (Sr., 1B), Colby Reese (Jr., INF/P), Addison Eckardt (So., OF).

Key newcomers: Christian Blazes (Jr., 1B), Corbin Denton (So., OF), Jason Leisinger (Fr., LF), Will Oates (8th, C/INF), Peter Samuelson (8th, 1B), Caleb Stamper (8th, OF).
Coach's outlook: "We are expecting big things from 2018 MDCC all-conference players Daniel Hendershot, Tyler Horst and Colby Reese to lead the team," Jackson said. "With the addition of talented young players, we should be improved offensively and defensively, but we'll only go as far as our pitching takes us."
North Hagerstown Hubs
Coach: Denny Talbert, second year
Last year: 11-11, lost in Class 3A West Section II semifinals

Saint James Saints
Coach: Matt Noll, third year
Last year: 11-10, reached Mid-Atlantic Conference tournament final.
Returning starters (9): Spencer McNamee (Sr. P/OF), Zach Crampton (Sr., INF/P), TJ Quelet (Sr, Util./P), Mark Spicher (Sr., INF/OF), Chris Chaney (Sr., OF/INF/P), Will Hertel (Jr., INF/P), Caleb Norris (Jr, INF/P), Frank Corsi (So., INF/P), Lane Gay (Sr., C).
Other returnees: Will Topham (Jr., OF), Jared Zhang (Sr., INF), Jakin Jeong (Sr, OF).
Key newcomers: Noah Milum (Fr., P/OF), Nick Milum (Fr., P, INF), Kyle Pershin (Fr., P/INF), Luke Barnes (Fr., P), Lucas George (So., P), Dylan Weibel (Sr. OF), Luke Barnes (Fr., C).
Notes: Noll begins his 12th year with the Saint James program. He started as an assistant coach. … Pitching and lineup flexibility will be the Saints' strength. Crampton, McNamee and Corsi carried the pitching load last year and a healthy Chaney provides yet another option. McNamee led the county in strikeouts last season. Norris and Hertel add depth, and Quelet can also pitch. The Saints have an ample number of young arms to develop in freshmen Pershin, Nick Milum and Noah Milum, along with George, a sophomore. … The entire infield returns, with Crampton the anchor at shortstop. Norris and Hertel return to the right side of the infield, while Corsi will play at third, shortstop or second, depending on who pitches. ... Quelet will also be used in the infield or play either corner outfield position, depending on the matchups. Spicher and Chaney could also see time at first base. Zhang, Nick Milum and Pershin round out the infield depth. … McNamee will play center field, with Chaney or Noah Milum filling in when he pitches. Topham and Spicher also will play regular roles in the outfield. Jeong, Weibel and George also are in the mix. … Gay returns as catcher after starting all but one game behind the plate last year. He has provided consistency back there the last few years. Barnes will also see some time back there. … Chaney will be playing for the University of Maryland after graduation. … McNamee will attend Wilson College. … Gay will be attending Palm Beach Atlantic.
Coach's outlook: "This team is a veteran club that has excellent senior leadership. All but two players return from last year's team that was one out away from winning the MAC championship," Noll said. "Every day with this group is exciting — their approach, their work ethic, their sense of humor — all of it is very fun to be around. The expectations are high for this group and I'm excited to see how we stack up."
St. Maria Goretti Gaels
Coach: Greg Eversole, fifth year (second stint)
Last year: 13-9, reached Old Line League tournament semifinals.
Returning starters (6): Chris Martin (Sr., INF/P), James Becker (Sr., INF/P), Andrew Blake (Sr., 1B/P), Mark Statz (So., OF/1B/P), David Clever (So, OF/P), Cam Moats (So., INF/P).
Other returnees: Jonny Miller (Jr., INF), Jefferson Roth (Jr., OF), Owen O'Connor (So., P/1B), Kyle Corley (So., INF).
Key newcomers: Noah Wiggins (Jr., OF/P), John Hill (So., C/INF), Jason Rivera (So., OF/P), Braden Shives (So./INF), Wyatt Abe (So., INF), Sterling Ebersole (Fr., C/OF).
Notes: Eversole starts his 13th season with the Gaels, which includes a stay from 1977-82. Overall, it's his 28th year of coaching. He spent 15 years at South Hagerstown. … Martin returns after hitting .544 to earn all-county first team honors last season. He will play for University of Maryland Eastern Shore after graduating. … James Becker will attend St. Mary's College to play baseball. … The Gaels will compete in the 36th annual Jack Conley Lead-Off Tournament at Mount St. Joseph on April 20. They will join St. Michaels, a perennial Class 1A state championship contender, and St. Mary's Ryken. … That will be followed by the Virginia Coastal Tournament from April 23-25, facing Gateway Regional, Gloucester City and Cherry Hill West, all from New Jersey. … Martin will be the shortstop in a lineup that has both speed and power on offense. … Becker and Blake are other seniors who are key, but the Gaels will have a youthful look in the middle of the lineup with Wigging, Rivera and Hill. Rounding out the starting nine are Statz, Moats and Clever. … Goretti features nine returning pitchers on its staff, including three left-handers. … Statz, Martin, Clever and Becker all got significant work in 2018. Blake and O'Conner will add depth, along with transfers Wiggins and Rivera. … Hill will hold down the catching duties. … The Gaels have flexibility in the infield and will be backed up by the speed of Wiggins, Clever, Rivera and Statz in the outfield.
Coach's outlook: "Versatility will be a big part of the lineup," Eversole said. "We're hoping to blend the new players with the returning players into making another memorable season. Practicing and playing with passion is the theme and goal of this year's squad."
Smithsburg Leopards
Coach: Trey Cobb, 11th year
Last season: 8-11, lost in Class 1A West Section II semifinals
Returning starters (7): Chase Miller (Sr., INF), Alex Cuevas (Sr., P/INF), Garett Kercheval (Sr., INF), Austin Martin (Sr., Util.), Daniel Walter (Jr., LHP), Jordan Ingram (Jr., C), Josh Black (So., P/INF).
Key returnees: Clayton Fazenbaker (Jr., INF), Marshall Lowman (Sr., Util.), Chris Jennings (Sr., Util.), Devin Bollinger (So., RHP).
Notes: Smithsburg will be looking for contributions from a "very competitive freshman class that will constantly compete for varsity time," according to Cobb. … Smithsburg might be a team without a home for a while. The Leopards' field is presently unplayable and is without sod. "We will not be able to play on our field until April at the earliest right now. We are looking to play games at HCC and Municipal Stadium until it is dry enough to get sod down and rooted," Cobb said. … Walter is drawing Division I interest at a pitcher. … Cuevas will be entering the Army after graduation.
Coach's outlook: "We have a great senior class who are very selfless leaders," Cobb said. "They have been around and have contributed at the varsity level for some time know, and have been helping our new guys get more comfortable and ready to compete, which is important because there are several young guys who are going to compete daily for varsity time. We have had some great practices so far, full of competition, hard work and a ton of 'sauce' (energy), as our seniors put it. We are making the best out of our field circumstances, and will continue to get better no matter our circumstances. We will respond appropriately and continue to get better and develop talented men and baseball players."
South Hagerstown Rebels
Coach: John Phillips III, third year
Last year: 1-20, lost in first round of Class 3A West Section II playoffs.
Returning starters (8): Cade Shifflett (Sr., C/P), Michael Hawbaker (Sr., P/2B/SS), Stevie Witmer (Sr., P/INF), Dru Yates (Sr., 1B/DH), Rhoan Brumfield (Sr., SS), Kyle Adams (Sr., OF), Devon Creary (Jr., P/OF), Chanse Phillips (Jr., OF).
Other returnee: Zion Gibson (Jr., DH).
Key newcomers: John Carter (Jr., P), Drew Robinson (Jr., INF), Ryan Jones (Jr., INF), Elijah Whittington (Sr., INF), Oshane Thorpe (Jr., P/OF), Therio Thorpe (Sr., C/OF), Delvin Vasquez (Jr., OF), Jeremy Peralta (Jr., P).
Notes: Phillips was an all-county first-team honoree last season. ... Carter played for Smithsburg last season.
Coach's outlook: "We are looking forward to getting this season started," Phillips said. "The kids are ready to go. Our pitching staff is ready to go. The kids are hitting well and are excited. Just don't let last year's record fool you, like they say."
Williamsport Wildcats
Coach: AJ Jamison, first year
Last season: 10-12, lost in Class 2A West Section II final.
Returning starters (5): Justin Taylor (Sr., P/INF), Corey Walters (Sr., P/INF), Maddux Grove (Sr., P/1B), Justin Moschel (Sr., P/INF), Mason Gelwicks (Sr., OF/INF).
Other returnees: Bryce Romsburg (Jr. P/OF), Garrett Shoemaker (Sr., P), Braeden Marker (Jr., C).
Key newcomers: Curran Earnest (So., P), Andrew Kelbaugh (So., P/INF).
Notes: Jamison, who is in his fourth year with the program, replaces David Warrenfeltz as head coach. ... Williamsport lost last season's Herald-Mail pitcher of the year Ryan Greene and all-county performers Jaustin Itnyre and Trevor Knode to graduation. … The Wildcats reached the section final by defeating top-seed Damascus, 4-0. … Taylor will be attending Millersville University to play baseball. … Walters will be attending Hagerstown Community College. … Grove will be attending Chesapeake College. … Fans can follow the Wildcats on twitter at @wportbaseball.
Coach's outlook: "This year's senior group knows they will be asked to fill roles that they might not be accustomed to, but are looking forward to the challenge," Jamison said. "And with the injury bug hitting the team already this year, some new faces will look to provide some relief to a strong senior class. Senior captain Taylor will lead the way offensively at shortstop. Walters, a co-captain, comes back from a devastating ankle injury he suffered his junior season. He will look to continue the success he was having offensively and will play a key role for us on the mound and at the corners. Grove and Shoemaker will be regulars on the mound throughout the season, and Moschel and Gelwicks will be asked to play multiple positions. Romsburg, a promising junior pitcher, will also find himself on the mound regularly. Marker will be our field general behind the plate and will hopefully provide some power in the middle of the lineup. Kelbaugh and Earnest had productive first seasons at the JV level and will look to continue their production when their numbers are called on varsity."

London Olympics 2012 in pictures, the first week
1 Comment Posted by oxfordschoolofphotography on August 8, 2012
From the more than excellent The Atlantic pictures from the first days of the London 2012 Olympics. There are some truly astounding images in this set so do go and have a look at all of them.
More than 10,000 athletes from 200 national Olympic committees around the globe have gathered in London for the 17-day 2012 Summer Olympic Games. So far, dozens of Olympic and world records have already been broken and more than 500 medals have been awarded. As we pass the Games' halfway point, here's a look back at some amazing events that have taken place in the U.K. over the past nine days. [62 photos]

London 2012: The Opening Ceremony – Best Photos
1 Comment Posted by oxfordschoolofphotography on July 31, 2012
Thanks to The Atlantic for this roundup of images from the opening night of the London Olympics. These images are so much better than anything seen on tv, make sure you have a look at these fantastic pictures
Last night the 2012 Summer Olympics kicked off with a huge Opening Ceremony in London's new Olympic Stadium, an event watched on television by an estimated 1 billion viewers. Performances paid tribute to British heritage and culture, from agrarian beginnings through pop culture successes like the Beatles and J.K. Rowling. Contingents from more than 200 nations marched in the athletes parade, and the evening was capped off by the lighting of the Olympic Cauldron, a performance by Paul McCartney, and a huge fireworks display. Collected below is just a glimpse of last night's ceremony, as the 2012 Olympics are now underway. [44 photos]

Olympics organisers refuse to clarify photography rules ahead of Games
Leave a comment Posted by oxfordschoolofphotography on July 25, 2012
Do you have tickets to see any of the Olympic events and thought you might take a camera along to record that once in a lifetime opportunity, well maybe you should think again. It seems that for ill defined reasons the organisers are prepared to ban the use of what they deem to be professional type cameras, my guess is this means DSLR cameras with a lens long enough to capture anything on the track or field of play. This is another example of photographers being demonised because those in authority do not understand why people take pictures. We do it because we are interested in photography and like to record our lives, where we go and what we see. Of course it could be that the athletes, their managers, sponsors or whomever want to have complete control over what images are available. God forbid you might get a picture of an athlete throwing a hissy fit or one of the football stars doing something unmentionable to another.
The BJP, always a source of informed news and comment has an article by Olivier Laurent, with James Temperton of Computer Active on this matter, read the full article here but this is the nature of what is being considered
"Some venues will be more flexible," she said. "For example, if you're attending an event in Green Park, there'll be more space for spectators, so security might allow you to get in with larger equipment. But that won't be the case at the Olympic Stadium," where large lenses and tripods could interfere with spectators' view of the sporting events.
However, BJP and ComputerActive, another Incisive Media publication, have found that Wembley Stadium, which will host football events during the Olympic Games, will prohibit any kind of "professional-style cameras [any camera with interchangeable lenses] or recording/transmitting devices".
From the BJP: Aerial view of the Olympic Park showing the Olympic Stadium and warm-up track in the foreground.

The Photographers' Gallery celebrates London 2012 Olympics with an outdoor exhibition
Leave a comment Posted by oxfordschoolofphotography on April 9, 2012
Simon Bainbridge writes in the BJP about an exhibition due to open at the new Photographers Gallery.
"The World in London is a major outdoor photography exhibition that will go on show in east London to coincide with the London 2012 Olympics.
The Photographers' Gallery has revealed its contribution to this year's Olympic games, announcing The World in London, a major outdoor exhibition for which it commissioned 204 portraits.Each of the 204 subjects originated from one of the 204 countries competing in this summer's games in the capital, all of which will be shown together as large-scale posters in Victoria Park in east London (which hosts the 2012 Olympics), as well as in the pedestrian zone outside the gallery's soon-to-re-open venue in Soho. "
"The World in London explores portraiture and cultural diversity using photography, one of the most accessible and democratic artistic mediums of our times," says the gallery. "The project celebrates London as a place where individuals from all parts of the world live side by side, each of them contributing to make London the unique city it is.".…….MORE

he was questioned overnight. he was released, the special prosecutor spokesman said 7:30 this morning and went home after that. into re digging allegations of bribery around payments that samsung close ade to a adviser to the president of the country in exchange for favors.ly political that's what they are investigating at this point. as it was an, released today, said they would decide soon, probably within the next day or so actually ey will harge lee with these allegations. >> one of the prosecutors -- do we know any of the more details and what charges, any word on that? focussed on samsung, specifically, friend made to the of president parks. and samsung admits that it did make some of these ayments including a horse
that was worth about a billion yuan or almost a million dollars and payments for horse riding lessons for the daughter of this woman. samsung says the government frequently comes to them and asks for money and they are saying there is nothing wrong with this. this is what the companies ofto try to support some these political efforts, but as the specifics have come publicthis case, the has been upset about some of these details. it looks like the questions samsung d whether made these payments in exchange for some government support in some mergers that they needed to allow weed to top of samsung group so they are digging into that and they are going to decide shortly on the question of whether they are going to proceed with charges. the latest gauge on the health of the chinese economy. that should be in about an her or so. december trade data out. having a look. breaking out the numbers. of whate us an idea
we can expect. >> we're expecting those numbers to break at 10:00 beijing time. survey by bloomberg points to a contraction in 4%.rts of in terms of the imports, up 3% e seen picking in december year-on-year numbers. we've seen the exports for korea, they were stronger in than in november. so that may prove to be a catalyst that may point to stronger demand that might help the exports well.china as in terms of the imports, they are expected to be driven by the infrastructure on, ing that's going particularly demand for commodities like crude and copper. ahead, to later this year, there are, of course, risks around trump and any stance that he takes on china and u.s. trade relations as a risk that analysts are trying to play into and work out what kind of impact that will have. of course, as things like the slowing property sector here as well, so all trying tohings --
be fought off when we're looking at these numbers. exports, the will yen and if that support exports. >> tom, we had money supply data out of the country yesterday. we saw the headline. grabbed that headline. it did seem that these to reign in credit, they aren't exactly are they?, >> that's right. as bloomberg intelligence a lot of here is positive talk and not much action because the money supply data points to being ing credit pumped into the system. if you look at total social finance, that number came in 1.63 trillion. u.s. $236 billion dollars. way above the estimates of 1.3 trillion for the total social finance envelope terms of the money supply 11.3% for the month of december. just marginally below the 11.4%, number of
and we've got a chart that divergence now between the m-2 money supply and the slowing gdp growth that's a level of concern for many analysts here. bloomberg intelligence m-2 money that 210%ly to gdp ratio hit in september of last year 150% in to around 2008. bloomberg intelligence they don't ll, see with a property set for slowdown very likely this around the risks trade with trump. the growth can continue without continued expansion of credit here. another thing that we saw pick up was shadow banking loans and we've spoken to eople here, the policymakers and advisers to the government who say this is a key concern as well. those g in some of shadow banking loans but loans but p
they pick up in december. so continued concerns around the credit environment here, and a desire amongst nalysts and economists to see policymakers matching their words with action. tom, thanks for that. guarding the coup. creative way to protect chickens in china. one week away from his inauguration. we're discussing the markets trump about a presidency. global investors next.
. bloombergack with markets. this news has just come from london. talking about the good and the bad. let's just get the bad, bad s of the news out first. for 2017. mainly.ics
that's really everywhere you look whether it's the u.s., election, practically every month over year, and then we have policy shift in china as well. hat will create continued -- -- volatility. was amazing. now, thing is after each one f them, we saw equity markets and other markets as well recover. > they were all great buying opportunities. actually, certainly the first two were better than last st because the was a very short buying opportunity. but they were, and i think really what we've got to make sure of, that we're prepared for, as we get this
volatility, that we're ready to take action. weknow stocks to buy and do it with conviction, and that's, you know, what we were doing through the last year. to do.'ll continue as we go through. >> this year, when we look from t happens a week today, donald trump being sworn into office, the theme s, people are concerned about trade protectionism here. of course, we don't know, do e, because, i mean, he tweets, but then he contradicts himself and then sorecontradicts himself, ultimately, what do you actually trade on? >> the facts. when we actually know, then that will give us more to go on. tax reform on because that's going to be a major difference to earnings, and so, we want to know what the rate is. we want to know what's going repatriation, and on-board adjustments as well. so we need to know the facts. meantime, it's just noise but we're getting some
noise.rough the you get some idea of where he's coming from. there are some themes in you pick out about, obviously, employment and up courts are picking and that now and realizing it's an idea to make some statements, so you can pick themes but until we get some hard policy, it's to do too much. >> this year does seem to be a change. away kind of pivoting from, let's say, monetary policy towards more fiscal policy, but again, proof pudding n the there. rom a deflation or disinflationary environment, it doesn't necessarily mean and good mics economic growth and perhaps to geopolitical concerns and
plurality. >> it's elsewhere, that really eing a shift from disinflation-deflation toward bitter inflation. it is energy but some of it is core. that's a big change. move up that we've seen in bond yields is a big hange and does look like t's quite it's quite a secular change. that's really interesting. >> breaking news at the moment. 6.89 as fixed at opposed to yesterday's, a little bit of strength there for the yuan, probably due to some of the weakness in the dollar. that's theme, isn't it, certainly? the dollar strength. pulled back a little bit. could you argue it's a gut check. ow does that change the dynamic? it. >> changes the dynamic for korp corporate
corporates. >> you'll see some changes in earnings. with apple, but the big multinationals as well. it matters for them. and it does obviously matter or the domestic investors, wherever you happen to be. >> does it change your then?tment hors >> no. the companies we invest in tend to be pretty well edged for currency. not investing in companies which tend to be very domestic. the companies -- [inaudible] there is a loss of internal hedging with these companies. good.'s get to the e've sort of got into good add bad things, i guess. let's get to the good stuff in that egg. good signs of recovery, the pmis have been stoking up manufacturing-wise, at least. >> yes, i think that's been rather overlooked when you evaluations. there has been a lot of focus on the u.s., and growth in ominal the u.s. but really the focus on
has been much more on politics and less on improving the underlying trend. very low growth. you can't get overexcited about it but it's going in the right direction, plus weak currency, and you have interest rates low for longer in europe than do you in the u.s. i think, to us, when you look at where the it looks ies are as if there is more upside potential in europe plus margin.ential on >> britain, let's leave things on britain. surprising growth here. mark, upping the ante a little bit when it comes to the latest forecast, know, tion, well, you europe needs britain as much as britain needs europe, if not more so. is changing a little bit. we don't know anything yet, problem.hat's the >> we don't know anything. deal we know what the will be on trade, and that ould take a long time it's impossible to say what the impact will be on growth. the fact that the momentum
going within the uk at the moment is primarily currency.h that's clearly been helping some of the mid size manufacturers. consumption has kept ticking along. at the top has slowed down but it really means nothing until we know what will be happening with we're very much on old waiting to see what happens. > we'll have to hear from theresa may as well. breaking news. suspendednker was yesterday, of course, as we awaited this announcement. vanke's major shareholders sell its will entire stake in the country. this has been the fly in the feud that'sthis been going on with the company perhaps ending it by announcing it will sell holding for just shy of $5.5 billion to the

really involve. and i think it's right that treasuries are thousand skeptical.t more so i think that we're not going to see more global rate cuts, you know, big cutting cycle is at an end, but it's not going to line.straight >> the question was, does this secular bond bull run end? know, if it does so, it's probably a good sign, is it sign, is it not? >> yeah. eight years after the great financial crisis and we're still talking about disinflation pressures in europe, japan, even in the at below 2%tuck inflation target. is a the bull market 30-year end now, it's saying, you know, we're finally getting somewhere. getting some real growth back into the global economy. so if you're thinking about all of growth and those things, it would be very good news. a the thing which worries lot of people, spread etween, let's say, j.j.b.s
treasuries and the boom market and again, treasury market here as well, so that widens. is there a point when alarm bells start ringing or are they already? already k they are and that's been the big driver of currencies. the big rise in u.s. yields, and the low level of yields that we see in the rest of the world has really been driving the bull rally in the u.s. dollar. there comes a point where that dollar's strength for theome problems u.s. domestic economy. and some global normalization would be well to the global economy. in fact, i expect the to nese bank of japan think about hiking rates for their next move. i don't think negative rates ave worked for the global economy and central bankers starting to realize that. we've shown, i mean, the former governor, and nting about a year a half ago about the efficacy of q-1, et cetera low alking about the
returns.ing this has reached the end of the road, this is my view, i shouldn't be giving mine. have been bankers saying this themselves. they are not boastful that monetary policy has been successful. it worked after the great financial crisis but diminishing returns after diminishing returns. more qes are not going to stimulate people. politicians to take up fiscal policy. >> that's the point. o did that money go in the right place because did it reate asset bubbles in places that -- that was the point. >> exactly. if you think about, i think wift every economy say when you're in a massive demand like we saw after the financial crisis you need to get money into the ockets of people who will
actually spend it rather people seeing their inflated.es >> tell me, where is the what's good and not?'s everyone went to high yield. markets, 6.5%, you can't get that in a government bond. low.lt rates remain >> merging markets? developed e in high yield. merging markets are a mixed picture. the exican peso is cheapest currency in the world on pretty much any measure you look at. he question is one of timing. is politics going to trump the economic fundamentals in economies. so selective value out there in merging markets but it's
bag at the ed moment. >> jirnlgs thank you for joining us. still ahead, find out why china have n turned to robots. i have no idea what this story is about. i can't wait to harriet. in the bloomberg.

of the chicken, and then detect abnormal movement or like an abnormal temperature, they would notice the bad stage, the control room, and the robot to catch this chicken. the logic is like a on erature check travelers at the airports. them to eally help figure out early signs of disease in a chicken, and protect a potential outbreak. > why use -- why are they humans?obots and not >> because they are using belief-- china, they sometimes humans, can have like a human error. so that's why they feel like a full automation will help to enhance the level, and also, they think the human can bring disease to the chickens so to reduce the
contact between them. >> tell me something. fake eggs is a problem. to the heart of it. food safety situation, how evolving? i think things have continue better, but fake eggs, must be easier to have a real egg rather than one. a fake call me naive. mean, the problem -- i has been like high on the political agenda. the hey try to have highest standard on the food sourcing and other stuff. still, the people in china, they don't hundred percent trust the eggs that they neat and still find fake beer and ainted seafood discovered in china. so there is a lot of room improve.to >> thank you so much. >> they found these fake market not reet

we are joined exclusively by pierre gramegna, luxembourg's minister. thank you for coming. we have june, and since then, to people staking their positions politically, perhaps not, don't know. we don't know where we are at the moment. where does it leave you as a european, brexit? >> definitely the brexit situation was unexpected. we have to respect the decision of the british people. lose-lose a situation. a win-win would have been if the u.k. stayed. it will be different and we have to work with that. fortunately and finally, the british government has announced they will trigger article 50 so we can start negotiations before the end of this quarter, and it is high time because business
does not like uncertainty. it is not good for europe or the u.k.. rishaad: is it? there seems to be a narrative gaining momentum, mark carney referring to it, that europe could be the bigger loser out of brexit. it is controversial. the marketompare size of the european union, 500 million consumers, with the amount of the population of the u.k., the numbers speak for themselves. it does not really matter to look at it that way. we should try to de-dramatize the situation. rishaad: people are making politics out of this. angela merkel for instance, we have to play hardball because we can't have britain picking things à la carte. that's why de-traumatizing is the right thing. when i take the example of the
automatic excess to the eu single market, saying it was depending on the goodwill of the 27 other countries is neglecting the fact that this is not a reality. if you choose to go your own way , leave the eu, have your own roles, you cannot have automatic access. so let's be factual about that, and if you don't have the immediate and automatic access, it does not mean you can't do business with the european union. sense, britaint does a lot of business, a huge trade deficit with the rest of europe, so in a way, britain is important as a market for the rest of the eu. ofthere will still be a lot trade happening. if i look at the situation in switzerland, the banking sector and financial services, the and goods can be
sold all over europe through a subsidiary and luxembourg here . rishaad: what is the mood amongst fellow finance ministers? speak candidly here. how should we treat the british and the british representatives? simple. we should not want to punish the united kingdom. we should just try to treat them the way you do with someone who has been a long-standing member and who will stay an important partner. for example, if i take london, it is the largest financial center in the world. luxembourg is the second largest in europe. we have a lot of common interests and trade happening, and we want that to continue. rishaad: it creates an opportunity to grab business from london. how busy have you trying to get some of that? on theave been insisting cooperative effort in the sense that we are not there to take
big chunks away from london and hundreds of thousands of people, but find a solution to the needs of those companies in london that do not have a foothold in the eu market and will need it. other hand, it is obvious that insurance companies, asset managers, and financial technology companies have not that our door as we are a natural partner. on the financial technology site, i was more surprised i thought they were busy developing their new products, but then they said we want to be able to sell it everywhere. rishaad: exactly. that is the passporting issue. by joining the european banking union, having subsidiaries and luxembourg, is there any need for british banks to worry about it? is this just a red herring that these bankers have put up? >> i think there are solutions.
i think we are still in a pre-negotiation phase. everybody is putting its interests and assets on the table. we have a couple of years to do that for the whole issue to calm down. rishaad: stick with is there. pierre gramegna, the luxembourg finance minister, trump, china, and beyond. this is bloomberg. ♪

and the president elected donald trump is going to be exactly the same as the president that takes office on january 20, so let's wait and see on that. one can see that he is very consistent in saying that he is touting the benefits of open trade and globalization and wants to go a route of protectionism. this is a big worry for europe as we are an export champion. it is a worry for japan, where i was this week, and we have to see how this is really going to happen in reality, because the united states is also an export champion, so let's see how this will translate into reality, then we have treaties that exist, so they will have to be -- rishaad: you have a trade agreement and the works at the moment. >> yes, so we have a lot of
uncertainty here which needs to be cared for. rishaad: right, how would it alter the relationship, a slightly different way of looking at it, the relationship between washington and well, the eu. ? >> if i take the economy as a whole, you can see that there has been better cooperation worldwide last year than there has ever been, international taxation for example. there has been an initiative at the level of g-20 and the oecd. the announcement that had been made by the president-elect about a drastic reduction of , it is printing of the some of the decisions that have been taken all together into question, so it is too early to
judge, but our wish and europe is that we can cooperate and have as much as possible open markets with each other. rishaad: mr. mario draghi, quantitative easing, in your view, it works? >> yes. rishaad: do you think it is time to end it? >> quantitative easing cannot be ended quickly. long thek at how states have done it, five years. in europe, far less, as we started later, so there is no to unwind it, and obviously it is a responsibility of european central banks. it has worked. we see that. growth is back in europe, 1.7% this year, investment is picking up, and that's why there is much more good news than what we normally read. rishaad: is there pressure to do
more on the fiscal side? and on top of that, quickly as well? are able totries maneuver to do fiscal stimulus, luxembourg, germany. have that fiscal space yet so you cannot give a general answer to that question, but donald trump has announced a fiscal stimulus in his country, and i think europe slowly will have to use the space it has. fiscal union and monetary gain income is a time? >> the cooperation we have in the eurozone is quite deep. it needs to be deepened is still , then we have a two step approach, those countries that don't have the euro and those countries that have it. the greek crisis was 18 months ago. i think the euro today is more
credible than in the past. rishaad: thank you for joining us good the luxembourg finance minister there. takata shares surge, we will tell you why. this is bloomberg. ♪
