Debt crisis: France and Germany clash at euro summit

Both Spain and Italy are demanding that the eurozone show them "solidarity" because they have implemented EU austerity measures, but have still seen substantial increases in the cost of their government borrowing on the bond markets.

Yesterday Spanish bond yields passed the critical 7pc mark again.

EU officials have confirmed that negotiations have begun on plans to use eurozone bail-out funds, worth ?740bn (?593bn), to buy new Spanish and Italian bonds to ease borrowing costs at debt auctions over the summer.

The moves have run into opposition from Germany ahead of a vote in the Bundestag parliament today, where Mrs Merkel requires a two-thirds majority of MPs to ratify the creation of a permanent eurozone bail-out fund.

In order to prevent a parliamentary rebellion over the new fund, which means an extra contribution of ?168bn from German taxpayers, Mrs Merkel insists that help for Italy or Spain be attached to strict conditions, seen as politically toxic in both Rome and Madrid.

The temperature of the debate was raised after a senior German official close to the chancellor poured scorn on the demands being made by the Italian and Spanish.

"We would warn against exaggerated scaremongering," said the official.

Mario Monti, Italy's technocrat prime minister, is demanding help to bring down borrowing costs currently at 6pc, near crisis point, in return for pushing through controversial pension and labour reforms.

Unless he can show progress, Mr Monti, who is an unelected appointee as head of government, could face a rebellion in the Italian parliament, tipping Italy into political turmoil that would deepen its borrowing problems, plunging the eurozone into its worst crisis yet.

Giorgio Napolitano, Italy's president, yesterday warned that he was worried by growing conflict amid the Italian political parties, jeopardising Mr Monti's technocrat, national unity government.

"It is worrying that at the same time, the disputes and conflicts are increasing among the parties that support the government," he said.

Slowing economy may force Fed to take action

Win Mcnamee / Getty Images

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke testifies before the Joint Economic Committee on Capitol Hill earlier this month.

By Roland Jones

With the dark cloud of Europe?s ongoing financial crisis still hanging over the world financial system, the Federal Reserve opens a two-day meeting?Tuesday?with speculation swirling that policymakers could announce more stimulus to boost the U.S. economy.

A crucial Greek election over the weekend eased fears of an imminent financial disaster in the eurozone by handing?victory to New Democracy, a center-right party that supports Greece staying in the currency union. That means, for now at least, investors can stop worrying about the market chaos that would follow a Greek decision to?leave the eurozone.

Now the focus shifts to the Fed and how it might play its next hand.

Recent reports, including two straight months of weak job growth, suggest?economic growth is slowing again after a tepid recovery. That sets the stage for?Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to ask central bankers to approve more stimulus, although the options are limited. In?testimony this month Bernanke said the Fed stands ready to act if needed.

Opinions are divided over what the Fed will do.

Some economists expect policymakers to extend ?Operation Twist,? a program launched last fall that adjusts the composition of the government bonds held by the Fed by swapping short-term assets for longer-term assets. The idea is to push down long-term interest rates, making it easier for businesses and consumers to get credit. The program is due to end?June 30, although the?Fed could opt to extend it beyond that date.

Others are hoping for something stronger, such as another massive bond-buying program known as ?quantitative easing,? or QE, in which the Fed essentially?prints?money to buy long-term mortgage or Treasury bonds.

That would be?controversial?because past efforts have had a?questionable success rate, and it brings with it the risk of inflation down the road because it increases the money supply. Also, economists say the Fed is likely to want to keep something in its arsenal in case the?economic outlook worsens further?over the summer.

An extension of ?Operation Twist? is?the most likely first step, according to Former Richmond Fed President Al Broaddus.

?I think if there?s a significant risk, and action is needed, they may need to do something this week,? Broaddus told CNBC. ?My guess is it will be some kind of modification of Operation Twist.?

He said the?focus of the meeting would be?domestic U.S. conditions with some discussion of the eurozone crisis.

Barclays Capital strategists Alan James and Edmund Shing are also expecting an extension to the Fed?s Operation Twist, pointing to weakness in manufacturing output and in consumer sentiment.

?The soft patch in U.S. economic data keeps getting larger,? they wrote in a research note Monday.

One of the only other options open to the Fed is to adjust interest rates, which are already at record-low levels near zero. In January the Fed said it plans to hold down rates until late 2014 to sustain the economic recovery. The Fed would now have to signal to the market that it plans to hold rates down even further into the future.

The worsening debt crisis in Europe and fears over whether?Congress will hold off on tax increases and government spending cuts that are supposed to start in 2013 -- also known as the ?fiscal cliff? -- are weighing on consumer and business confidence.

Signs that Europe?s woes, which investors fear will have negative repercussions on the U.S. economy, are far from over were seen Monday when Spanish borrowing costs soared, with 10-year bond yields hitting 7.30 percent -- the highest in the eurozone?s history and above the rate that has forced other struggling euro-area nations to seek an international bailout.

Still, the troubles in Europe shouldn?t factor too heavily in the Fed?s plans this week, said Dino Kos, a former New York Fed executive vice president. Weakness in Europe should already be factored into the Fed?s forecast, he told CNBC.

?It shouldn?t really affect their thinking, although the situation has obviously gotten worse,? he said. ?The way it should impact their thinking is does the European slowdown affect U.S. growth, and does the growth then come down to such a degree that they need to counter it??

Kos said the best position for the Fed this week would be to hold fire, given the potential negative consequences of the fiscal cliff.

?Do you want the Federal Reserve to have something in reserve?? he said, noting that there are many uncertainties surrounding the fiscal cliff, given its timing, and the uncertainties about what the political situation will be at the end of the year.

?I would say they should wait,? he said.

Lucy Pavlovsky, Model Injured in Drake-Chris Brown Skirmish, Plans to Sue

A model who claims she required 12 stitches after she was caught up in last week's Chris Brown-Drake fight plans to sue ... possibly both of the musicians.

Javier Solano, a lawyer representing Lucy Pavlovsky, says the model was in the VIP section at W.i.P. Nightclub when the violent fight went down.

He says Lucy ducked down when bottles started flying and didn't notice her arm was gushing blood until she was making her way out of the club.

Solano says Lucy took a cab to the nearest hospital, and got a total of 12 stitches to close up two cuts on her arm, along with a tetanus shot.

According to Solano, Lucy Pavlovsky was interviewed by NYPD officers on Friday. She is "gathering evidence" for a possible criminal complaint.

Solano says Lucy's lawsuit would be against the club, which was shut down for various violations, but hinted Drake and/or Brown could be included.

"At this moment we are exploring all options," he said. "I can assure you that regardless of fame, money or stature, the people responsible will be held accountable."

Also injured in the fight, allegedly over Rihanna:

• Chris Brown himself; his chin was gashed.
• Chris' bodyguard Big Pat, whose head was bashed.
• San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker, whose eye was cut.
• Ingrid Gutierrez, a 21-year-old model who was at Brown's table and suffered "bruises, stitches and trauma to her face," according to reports.

Marianne Williamson: How the Universe Views Intimate Relationships

Love can be the most exhilarating human emotion one can experience. It can change life in an instant and take us places we never dreamed possible. But love can also shatter our heart, trigger old wounds and cause indescribable pain.

Both sides of the coin are reasons to celebrate, according to best-selling author, Marianne Williamson, who explained this and more, from the perspective of ?A Course in Miracles,? during ?The Enchanted Love Workshop: Building the Inner Temple of the Sacred and the Romantic,? which took place in Los Angeles, as well as worldwide via live streaming on the Internet.

??The Course in Miracles? does not claim to have a monopoly on truth,? she told the audience on the first evening of the conference. ?It is based on universal, spiritual themes found at the heart of all great religious teaching. It?s not doctrine. It?s not dogma. It?s principles.?

This particular weekend conference focused on love and relationships ? an area most people struggle in, no matter what their spiritual practice. Over time, many of us can see clearly where we may be heading off course in our lives, but when it comes to intimate love, ?it?s so easy to be insane and think you?re not,? she said. ?We get involved with romantic drama, and all the spiritual stuff goes out the window.?

Having written a book called ?Enchanted Love: The Mystical Power of Intimate Relationships,? Williamson decided to run a workshop based on the Course?s view of intimate relationships, and the goal of transitioning them from ego-based to spirit-based.

?The Course says relationships are assignments made in order to increase the maximum soul growth of both people,? she explained. ?It is as though a giant machine somewhere sees where you are wounded, and then picks out the person and situation in all of the universe in combination with whom you would most likely be healed.?

Looking at this from the ego?s perspective, we often believe there is one special person out there who will heal us and fill us with everything we are lacking in life. We also believe this person will never push our buttons or trigger our wounds ? be it from childhood or past relationships ? but instead will behave exactly as we need them to because we are so wounded, she said.

?The ego sees the assignment as someone who will give me what I think I need to compensate for the lack that exists in me. But the universe is invested in your soul growth, not in your imagined need. The universe knows you have no need other than to remember you already are and have everything,? Williamson said.

Unlike the ego, the universe?s idea of a perfect relationship is not someone who will stay away from our bruises or triggers, but actually someone who will bring our wounds to the surface in order to heal them. ?To double the perfection, it will not only be a perfect assignment in which to address your wounds, but also the perfect assignment in which to address theirs,? she explained.

Intimate relationships exist to bring up all of our wounds, triggers and childhood issues. It brings shadows of the past ? whether it?s our mother, father, brother, sister or ex-lover ? into our current relationship, and instead of seeing the man or woman in front of us, subconsciously we are seeing the person who invalidated us, she said.

?We heal through a detox process. Sometimes you will think, ?Wow, I haven?t had that issue in a while,? when really it?s just that it hasn?t been triggered. It wasn?t healed, it just wasn?t brought up,? she said, explaining until we find healing, the issue will continue to show up for us. However, there are times we are meant to stay in the relationship to heal, and times where the healing needs to take place apart.

?Relationships are never over. The Course says all who meet will someday meet again until the relationship becomes holy. There are phases in a relationship where there is silence or you are not in physical proximity with one another anymore, and this can actually be very helpful,? she said. ?Sometimes work is going on even more powerfully when two people are not talking. If you do the work, know that he or she is still feeling it.?

However, if we don?t do the work to heal the wounds, we will carry them into the next moment or next relationship, and will continue to attract the same circumstances until the work is done.

?It?s not that you attract a certain type of man ? it?s that you are attracted to that certain type of man so you can heal,? Williamson noted.

For the full cover story, with more insight from the conference, including tips for the working woman, the most important connection to maintain in any relationship (and how to make it), how to hang on to the ?falling in love? feeling from the beginning of the relationship, and more ? check out our full cover story in the June 2012 issue.

Mouth-based bling MP3 player puts your tunes on retainer

It's time to give your pockets a rest. Take a cue from Parsons student Aisen Chacin and stick your MP3 player where it belongs: in your mouth. The catchily-named Play-a-Grill combines bone-conducting music playback with a classic bit of bling-based technology. This "attempt to provide an unusual display and interface in comparison to typical audio/visual stimulation and digit based control panel" utilizes an iPod Shuffle knockoff, which sits in the roof of the wearer's mouth for some good, old fashioned tongue control over music playback. At the moment, the player looks to be more art project than consumer product (complete with a Nelly-quoting paper), but perhaps this is the iPod killer everyone's been searching for all along.
