...also get word on the housing sector via housing starts. Barron?s frontman Alan Abelson got stomachs clenched everywhere this weekend by declaring an imminent bubble in the sector everybody thanks for keeping consumers spending this long. Then it turned out he was just talking about homebuilding stocks like Centex shedding a few bucks "in the years ahead." Not to denigrate the value of that (probably accurate) insight to Centex investors or other housing-watchers, but we?ve got bigger, more imminent fish to fear. Also Thursday: Weekly jobless claims, and a fresh four-week rolling average that will hopefully...
...Item 1: Weekly financial bible Barron?s takes a week off from bemoaning the moribund economy and runs a Saturday cover story entitled "The Coming Energy Glut."

"If the will is there, and I think it is," says Blancornelas, "it could happen soon...
...California would artists adopt the artificial seductions of auto finishes, the glittering sprayed enamels and fiercely inorganic colors of glaze that made Ken Price's little ceramic sculptures so immediate and memorable. They manage to look luscious and poisonous at the same time, and in terms of what curator Barron and her team have set out to show - the weird confluence of vectors in a flawed and contradictory ex-paradise - they are perhaps the most "Californian" objects in this whole enormous show...
