It’s official: uggs, the ugliest boots in existence that make grown women look like sloppy toddlers will give you foot fungus. Yeah, yeah, yeah, “They’re so comfortable! And cute! I wear them everyday!” Comfortable? Maybe. Until you start itching. Cute? I don’t know -– the dark, damp environment that is the perfect breeding ground for fungus that can burrow under your toenails? Oh, that’s just adorable, if you think gross things are adorable. And wearing them everyday gives them more time to breed fungus while you’re wearing them. Science wins, trend slaves.
And anti-trend slaves? Don’t try to act all cool about Uggs. You know who you are. “Oh, I was wearing them when only surfers wore them, before Britney Spears got her grubby little hands on them.” Guess what? They were stupid-looking then, too. Don’t get all Patton Oswalt on everyone over the dumbest looking boots in the universe.
Of course, technically, shoes in general can invite a dark, damp environment, the wool lining of Uggs might actually absorb the sweat that causes fungus, and the occurrence of foot fungus hasn’t increased since Uggs were thrust upon us all and took the streets. And my beloved Converse sneakers are probably prone to all the same problems. But you know what? Uggs are uglier. So, it’s your choice: Get foot fungus while wearing vibram barefoot shoes or a better-looking shoe. I don’t know about all y’all, but from this day forth, when I see Uggs, I’m gonna think foot fungus. Forever.
You’re next, Crocs.

South Korea Raises Rates As Inflation Stirs Concern
HONG KONG — South Korea unexpectedly raised interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point Thursday and announced measures intended to curb rising prices, the latest sign that policy makers in Asia and other emerging markets were increasingly concerned about inflation.
While prices in the United States, Japan and the euro zone have been creeping up slowly, inflation in many developing nations has risen rapidly alongside overall UGG ® Australia economic growth. Climbing commodity prices — in recent weeks, crude oil prices have increased to more than $90, the highest level since October 2008 — and adverse weather have helped drive prices up in some areas.
For example, India reported Thursday that a crucial index measuring prices had risen 16.9 percent in the week ending Jan. 1 from the level of a year earlier, while in China, the latest available data showed that consumer prices in November were 5.1 percent higher than a year earlier.
In South Korea, consumer prices rose 3.5 percent in December from the level of a year earlier, driven by price increases in petroleum and farm products, and the central vibram fivefingers shoes bank said Thursday that it expected inflation pressures to mount in coming months.
Double-digit price increases like those in India are the exception, and many economists argue that inflation remains manageable in many countries.
Still, food price inflation in particular is a sensitive issue in developing nations, where many people’s incomes go directly to necessities like cooking oil, vegetables and other foodstuffs.
As a result, many emerging nations have started to nudge interest ugg australia rates back toward precrisis levels and have instituted other measures meant to tamp down prices. South Korea’s latest action — its third rate increase since mid-2010 — takes the country’s key seven-day repurchase rate to 2.75 percent.
After an economic policy meeting Thursday, President Lee Myung-bak said the government would watch to make sure that prices for gasoline and other oil products were “at an appropriate level.” In recent months, gasoline prices in South Korea have jumped to an average of $1.69 a liter, or $6.40 a gallon.
The government also announced a six-month freeze on charges for various utilities, including gas and electricity, and requested that colleges and universities not increase ugg slipper tuition this year.
The Bank of Korea’s decision to raise rates on Thursday surprised many economists, who had not expected another increase until later in the year.
Still, many project that rates will gradually rise further in South Korea and other fast-growing economies as policy makers strive to battle higher prices.
“Inflation is on the rise, in Korea as elsewhere,” Kim Song-yi, an economist at HSBC in Seoul, wrote in a note on Thursday, adding that the central bank’s “pro-active stance” was a “good thing.”
Thailand nudged up its key interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point to 2.25 percent Wednesday, adding to similar moves in recent months, while China has raised rates twice recently and restricted nike blazers shoes lending by state-controlled banks, actions aimed at slowing its economy’s breakneck growth.

Europe’s Challenge: Fostering Growth Amid Austerity
PARIS — Economic growth is an elixir for struggling economies, but in Europe it’s likely to come slowly to the countries that need it most.
The recovery that has flickered to life in the United States and much of Northern Europe is missing in euro zone nations straining under huge debt and harsh vibram fivefingers shoes measures — places like Greece, Ireland and Portugal that have imposed large spending cuts and tax increases.
Those measures may eventually lead to healthier economies, but the process will take years, economists and analysts say. In the meantime, the drag on growth is increasing pressure on the euro, and tethering competitive countries like Germany, a major growth engine, to the faltering fortunes of the European Union’s weakest members.
Countries using the euro will grow an average of 1.5 percent this year, according to the International Monetary Fund, less than the 2.3 percent growth it predicted for the United States. While some of that difference reflects slower population growth in Europe, it points to the further relative ugg boots of Europe’s weight in the global economy.
That forecast was made before Congress passed a $858 billion package of tax cuts and incentives in December, which led some economists to raise their growth predictions for the American economy to as high as 4 percent. Europe has no similar stimulus to help stoke a stronger recovery.
The longer-term picture is little better. By 2015, the I.M.F. said, growth in the euro MBT Tembea will come in at just 1.7 percent.
To many analysts, the numbers add up to a long and painful journey back to prosperity.
“This is the most brutal slimming exercise you can imagine, without the help of an exchange rate devaluation,” said Thomas Mayer, chief economist of Deutsche Bank. “It will take time and it will create tremendous economic hardship in these countries.”
To be sure, there are some positive signs. None of Europe’s biggest economies are on the brink of recession: Germany expanded a healthy 3.6 percent last year, bolstering retro jordan in the euro area. Portugal and Spain, where growth is weak, conducted better-than-expected debt auctions last week.
But analysts were quick to point out that lenders demanded lofty interest rates for the bonds, reflecting worries that Portugal and Spain will eventually need a bailout and signaling skepticism among the markets that Europe can contain its crisis.
European finance ministers will meet in Brussels Monday and Tuesday to discuss increasing Europe’s bailout fund and institutional reforms, but on a broader level the debate will be aimed at protecting the single currency. The growing economic divide in Europe means the euro’s survival in its current UGG ® Australia can no longer be taken for granted if policy makers fail to come up with solutions to the Continent’s underlying problems.
While mild growth is expected to return to the likes of Ireland and Portugal within a year, those forecasts have already been tempered.
Exports are a big driver of the Irish economy, and are now the only bright spot after a contraction of its bloated construction sector. But sharp government spending cuts threaten to overshadow any export recovery this year. The I.M.F. now expects the economy to grow just 0.9 percent, down from a 2.3 percent forecast just a few months ago.
Portugal’s problems are different. Unlike Ireland, its banks are not troubled. But the government has high debts, and what feeble growth it has will continue to weaken as the vibram barefoot shoes curbs investments designed to stoke export growth, while wage cuts and tax increases hit the economy.
Worse, Germany’s economy will start to be buffeted by its neighbors’ problems: its growth is expected to slow considerably as the government spends more to keep the euro together. With less cash, its troubled neighbors are also curbing their purchases of German and other imports.
Most of Germany’s growth last year came in spring and summer. Since then, it has tapered off, and it is likely to cool to 2 percent this year before sliding to 1.3 percent in 2015, according to the I.M.F.
As recently as 2005, Germany was considered “the sick man of Europe.” But it sharply lifted its competitiveness after spending nearly a decade fine-tuning its vibram barefoot shoes to turn it into a manufacturing powerhouse. It deregulated labor markets, adjusted its tax code, and kept a lid on wages — measures similar to those being adopted in places like Ireland.
“It was a time that people don’t remember too fondly,” said Mr. Mayer of Deutsche Bank. “But competiveness came back. And that is the adjustment path that the others now have in front of them.”
Still, not every country can reinvent itself as a manufacturing giant, and those on Europe’s southern rim face a challenge in breathing new life into their economies. Greece, for example, is trying to turn itself into a “green economy” focused on renewable energy Vibram Five Fingers Flow Men, a plan the government hopes will create more than 200,000 jobs by 2015. But politicians face a struggle finding the billions needed to turn its dreams into a reality.

Reasoning with the Unreasonable
I spend a lot of time trying to concoct arguments that are so persuasive that even a hardcore unreachable will say, "Golly. Not only was I wrong, but probably stupid as well, and perhaps a little bit insane. I now adopt your viewpoint as my own. Would you like a bite of my ugg australia ?"
My favorite fantasy in this genre is imagining what I could say to a kid that would make him think he should substitute his own judgment for mine. My fantasy argument goes like this:Kid: Can I climb on the roof?
Me: No. You'd get hurt.
Kid: I'll be careful. And my friend Brian climbs on his MBT Tembea all the time. He never falls off.
Now at this point you realize that regular reasoning isn't going to win the day. You have to resort to the "Because I said so" fall-back, but while effective, that never seems like a clean win to me. To the kid it appears you don't have a good reason and you're just being an ass about it. That's why I fantasize about the rest of the discussion going this way:
Me: Do you know who invented the retro jordan?
Kid: No.
Me: It wasn't a kid. In fact, nothing important has ever been invented by a UGG Nightfall. Do you know why that is?
Kid: I don't care.
Me: It's because your Christian Louboutin won't be fully developed until sometime in your twenties.
Kid: I'm not listening TRA-LA-LA-LA-LA!!!
Me: You don't understand why you can't go on the roof because your brain isn't developed enough to understand the risk involved.
Kid: You suck. I hate you.
Me: I'll make you a deal. If you can find anything in this house that was invented by a kid, I'll admit that kids know as much as Manolo Blahnik shoes and you can climb on the roof. Use my computer, which incidentally was invented by adults. Go nuts.
(seven hours later)
Kid: Golly. Not only was I wrong, but probably stupid as well, and perhaps a little bit insane. I now adopt your viewpoint as my own. Would you like a bite of my sandwich?
Me: Thanks, but the last time you washed your hands was in amniotic fluid.
Puppies are essentially little factories that take in small pellets and convert the raw material into barking and poop. My job, as vibram barefoot shoes of the factory, is to make sure the output happens in the designated grassy area. I'm sure I would have gotten a bad performance review yesterday, as little Snickers delivered a pallet of product behind the dining room table and decided it was a chew toy. I got the roll of paper towels, placed it near the hazardous waste area, and left to get my hazmat suit and chemicals. This was a mistake. When I returned, one minute later, the roll of paper towels had been beavered into confetti. The dining room floor looked like New Year's Eve in Times Square, assuming the mirrored ball is actually an exploding turd.
I have watched enough episodes of The Dog Whisperer to know that I must establish myself as the alpha dog. I do this by trying not to cry when she bites me. I think it is vibram fivefingers shoes. Yesterday when she took me for a walk, I saw a leaf and didn't pick it up with my mouth. And I'm getting used to wearing the harness.

Now at this point you realize that regular reasoning isn't going to win the day. You have to resort to the "Because I said so" fall-back, but while effective, that never seems like a clean win to me. To the kid it appears you don't have a good reason and you're just being an ass about it. That's why I fantasize about the rest of the discussion going this way:
Me: Do you know who invented the retro jordan?
Kid: No.
Me: It wasn't a kid. In fact, nothing important has ever been invented by a UGG Nightfall. Do you know why that is?
Kid: I don't care.
Me: It's because your Christian Louboutin won't be fully developed until sometime in your twenties.
Kid: I'm not listening TRA-LA-LA-LA-LA!!!
Me: You don't understand why you can't go on the roof because your brain isn't developed enough to understand the risk involved.
Kid: You suck. I hate you.
Me: I'll make you a deal. If you can find anything in this house that was invented by a kid, I'll admit that kids know as much as Manolo Blahnik shoes and you can climb on the roof. Use my computer, which incidentally was invented by adults. Go nuts.
(seven hours later)
Kid: Golly. Not only was I wrong, but probably stupid as well, and perhaps a little bit insane. I now adopt your viewpoint as my own. Would you like a bite of my sandwich?
Me: Thanks, but the last time you washed your hands was in amniotic fluid.
Puppies are essentially little factories that take in small pellets and convert the raw material into barking and poop. My job, as vibram barefoot shoes of the factory, is to make sure the output happens in the designated grassy area. I'm sure I would have gotten a bad performance review yesterday, as little Snickers delivered a pallet of product behind the dining room table and decided it was a chew toy. I got the roll of paper towels, placed it near the hazardous waste area, and left to get my hazmat suit and chemicals. This was a mistake. When I returned, one minute later, the roll of paper towels had been beavered into confetti. The dining room floor looked like New Year's Eve in Times Square, assuming the mirrored ball is actually an exploding turd.
I have watched enough episodes of The Dog Whisperer to know that I must establish myself as the alpha dog. I do this by trying not to cry when she bites me. I think it is vibram fivefingers shoes. Yesterday when she took me for a walk, I saw a leaf and didn't pick it up with my mouth. And I'm getting used to wearing the harness.
He Thinks Voters are Stupid
I fantasize about running for President, but in the same way I fantasize about being Batman. I wouldn't want either job, but it's fun to think about how I'd handle certain situations. One situation that pops up all the time is when a reporter asks a candidate to respond to his opponent's vibram barefoot shoes promises to do the impossible. My fantasy answer would be "My opponent thinks voters are stupid."
The great thing about that answer is that it would generate world headlines. Second, it would resonate as being honest and accurate. You'd have to make sure you weren't making unrealistic promises yourself, and that's the hard part. But it would be a killer line.
Calling your opponent names, like flip-flopper, clearly vibram fivefingers shoes to some extent. But telling voters that your opponent thinks THEY are stupid would work even better, especially if it is clearly true that he thinks that.
I've also been working on good sound bites for both Obama and McCain. Obama's sound bite is easy. He took heat for suggesting a specific timetable for withdrawal before he had visited Iraq and talked to the generals. That seemed dumb. Then he made the best political move I have ever seen, by saying a President has to see the bigger picture, so generals in Iraq can't be the ones to determine when we leave. Agree with him or not, it was a brilliant political move. He needs to capture that in a soundbite: "Generals vibram barefoot shoes wars. Presidents make peace." It sounds like universal wisdom. That's a good sound bite.
Now that the Iraqi Prime Minister wants the U.S. to leave on Obama's timetable, McCain's biggest issue is gone. Even if you think McCain was right about the surge, it is no longer relevant to the election. No one cares that an old guy once made a good decision. The average voter doesn't know enough about economics to make the economy a powerful issue for McCain, and it's too late for him to start hammering on social issues. So McCain's sound bite needs to be something ugg australia vague yet persuasive. I suggest: "Do voters prefer words or actions?"
The great part of that sound bite is that everyone is programmed to automatically prefer words to action. And to the extent that Obama is viewed as a great orator, and McCain is seen as more of a man of action, you start thinking the sound bite actually means something. And phrasing the sound bite as a question forces the listener to automatically answer it, thus reinforcing it in the irrationsl part of the brain. It is the political equivalent of "If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit." It sounds like a reason to the unreasonable part of your brain, which unfortnately makes most of your decisions.
The other sound bite I have been thinking about wouldn't work for the MBT Tataga, but it's funny: "Change is good until it's your turn to be the diaper."
Do you have a better sound bite for this election?
[Disclaimer: I don't think either candidate meets the minimum standard to be president. And I won't have a preference until I complete a poll of ugg boots that I'm working on now.]
