Johanna was elected prime minister [Guardian report] of Iceland in April 2009, becoming the world's first openly gay head of government. Additionally, the Althingi approved adoption rights by same-sex couples in 2006. Iceland is the seventh European country to legalize same-sex marriage. In May, Portuguese President Anibal Cavaco Silva [official website, in Portuguese] signed a bill [JURIST report] that legalizes same-sex marriage but stops short of allowing same-sex couples to adopt. The bill was approved [JURIST report] by the Portuguese Parliament [official website, in Portuguese] in January and found to be constitutional by the Constitutional Court [official website, in Portuguese] in April. Same-sex marriage is also recognized in Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Norway [JURIST reports], while several other countries, including the UK, France and Germany, recognize civil unions between same-sex partners. Same-sex marriage has also been recognized nationwide in Canada and South Africa, and in jurisdictions in Mexico and the US [JURIST reports].
Corruption has remained a problem in Guatemala. In March, following an 11-month investigation with CICIG, Guatemalan authorities arrested two high-ranking police officials [JURIST report] tasked with leading the country's war on drugs on charges of corruption and drug trafficking. Also in March, the US State Department [official website] released its 2010 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report, which highlighted Guatemala as a key player in the Latin American drug trade [text, PDF]. Corruption among high-ranking officials was cited as one of the country's biggest problems. The Congress of Guatemala [official website, in Spanish] voted to create CICIG [JURIST report] in 2007 in order to investigate organized crime and official corruption.
Individuals hold strong views on the issue of life, as do I. However, personal views should not result in laws that unwisely expand the role of government and coerce people to obtain medical tests or procedures that are not medically necessary. In this case, such action would violate a woman's right to privacy.
Several state legislatures have acted recently to place restrictions on women's access to abortion. Last month, Oklahoma lawmakers approved a bill [JURIST report] requiring women seeking an abortion to complete a questionnaire containing information on marital status, reason for seeking the abortion and whether the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. In April, the Oklahoma Senate voted to override a veto [JURIST report] of two anti-abortion bills, resulting in the bills immediately becoming law. The first bill [HB 2526 text, RTF] prevents "wrongful life" lawsuits in which parents seek damages for a child born with a birth defect because the mother was unable to obtain an abortion. The second bill [HB 2780 text, RTF] requires doctors to conduct a vaginal ultrasound at least one hour prior to an abortion while displaying and explaining the images. Also in April, the Nebraska legislature approved a bill prohibiting abortions at or past 20 weeks [JURIST report] on the theory that a fetus can allegedly feel pain following that point. Advocacy groups have criticized the laws and indicated they will challenge them in court.
Illegal immigration is a growing problem in Italy, where ethnic tensions and discrimination are widespread. In January, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) [official website] dismissed a suit against Italy [JURIST report] by Palestinian immigrants alleging illegal expulsion from the country. Earlier that month, a group of African immigrants was evacuated [JURIST report] from the town of Rosarno after violence was directed towards migrant farm workers there. In August, rights groups criticized Italy [JURIST report] for returning a suspected terrorist to Tunisia, disregarding obligations imposed by the ECHR. Italy's treatment of its minority ethnic Roma population has resulted in similar criticism from human rights groups. In February, the Italian government dismantled a number of Roma encampments, and last year it was accused of discrimination when it began recording the fingerprints [JURIST reports] of Roma children in a purported effort to reduce street crime.
[T]he interference with the applicants' right to freedom of religion and association was not justified. The domestic courts did not adduce "relevant and sufficient" reasons to show that the applicant community forced families to break up, that it infringed the rights and freedoms of its members or third parties, that it incited its followers to commit suicide or refuse medical care, that it impinged on the rights of non-Witness parents or their children, or that it encouraged members to refuse to fulfil any duties established by law. The sanction pronounced by the domestic courts was excessively severe in view of the lack of flexibility in the domestic law and disproportionate to whatever legitimate aim was pursued. There has accordingly been a violation of Article 9 of the Convention, read in the light of Article 11.
The Moscow-based Jehovah's Witnesses congregation was banned [JURIST report] in 2004, causing leaders of the congregation to join a lawsuit already pending in the ECHR over the harassment of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia. In December 2009, the Russian Supreme Court [official website, in Russian] upheld a lower court decision [JURIST report] to shut down the Taganrog Jehovah's Witnesses congregation and ban the distribution of 34 Jehovah's Witnesses publications. Both the Jehovah's Witnesses congregation and the publications are "extremist" [Forum 18 report], the court held in its decision. In a separate 2007 case, the ECHR held that Russia violated Article 9 by failing to register the Chelyabinsk congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. The US Department of State [official website] chronicled the persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses [JURIST report] and other religious minorities in Russia in its 2009 International Freedom of Religion Report [text].
Italy has previously passed legislation aimed at protecting high-ranking officials. In March, the Italian Senate gave final approval [JURIST report] to a bill [materials, in Italian] that would allow cabinet ministers, including Berlusconi, to postpone criminal proceedings against them on the grounds that they would interfere with official duties. In January, hundreds of Italy's judges walked out of their courtrooms to protest the passage of legislation that placed strict time limits [JURIST reports] on the trial and appeals process. That bill was also criticized as being tailored for Berlusiconi's benefit and would result in the automatic dismissal of two pending cases against him. Later that month, it was reported that Berlusconi could also face a third trial based on information that surfaced recently. Berlusconi currently faces a corruption trial and a tax fraud trial, both of which have been postponed. The leader has been previously acquitted of false accounting and bribery and has had other charges against him dropped [JURIST reports].
A Sudanese court sentenced the four men to death for a second time [JURIST report] in October after their June 2009 sentences were vacated because Abbas's father forgave them. The sentences were reinstated at the request of both victims' families, as Sudanese law permits victims' families to forgive the murderer, demand compensation, or request execution. Following the shooting, a previously-unknown extremist group calling itself Ansar al-Tawhid claimed responsibility for the shootings. Granville was the first US diplomat killed in Sudan since the deaths of US Ambassador Cleo Noel and US Embassy staffer George Curtis Moore [Arlington Cemetery memorials] in 1973. Tense diplomatic ties between the US and Sudan have been strained by the on-going conflict in the country's western Darfur [JURIST news archive] region.
[We urge] the Government of the Republic of Rwanda and President Paul Kagame to immediately release human rights lawyer Professor Peter Erlinder from jail and allow him to return to the United States. [T]he Constitution of Rwanda, adopted on May 26, 2003, states that Rwanda is 'Resolved to build a State governed by the rule of law, based on respect for fundamental human rights, pluralistic democracy, equitable power sharing, tolerance and resolution of issues through dialogue'; [However,] there is an increasing pattern of restrictions of free expression in Rwanda ahead of the August presidential elections, including the denial of a work visa to a senior Human Rights Watch researcher and the crackdown of opposition members and journalists[.]
The resolution by McCollum and Ellison comes a day after a joint statement [JURIST report] calling for Erlinder's release was issued by more than 30 defense lawyers from the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) [official website]. The statement called on international authorities to obtain Erlinder's release and to guarantee immunity for "every person engaged in seeking truth before any international or domestic jurisdiction." The lawyers indicated they will stop participating in proceedings at the ICTR until minimal steps are taken to remedy the situation. They also noted that Erlinder's arrest indicates a growing threat to the country's legal system. The defense lawyers contend that Erlinder's arrest and subsequent denial of bail [JURIST report] "seriously compromised" the ICTR's mission by undermining the independence of lawyers and preventing them from performing their duties without fear of suffering reprisals. Rwandan police arrested Erlinder [JURIST report] last month on charges that he denied the 1994 Rwandan genocide [HRW backgrounder; JURIST news archive]. Erlinder was in Rwanda to prepare his defense of opposition presidential candidate Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza [campaign website], who was arrested in April [JURIST report] on similar charges. Erlinder pleaded not guilty [JURIST report], but was deemed a flight risk [AFP report] and denied bail, despite his claim that he needed to return to the US for medical treatment following what Rwandan officials say was a suicide attempt [JURIST report].
Finland is not the first country to try suspects accused of crimes related to the genocide. Canadian prosecutors announced in November that a second suspect had been charged [JURIST report] under Canada's Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act [text, PDF]. The first man charged under the act was Desire Munyaneza [Trial Watch profile]. In October, he was sentenced to life imprisonment [JURIST report] for war crimes committed during the Rwandan genocide. Munyaneza was convicted [JURIST report] in May of seven counts of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes under the act. He was arrested [JURIST report] in 2005 by the RCMP after a five-year investigation. The trial, which was briefly postponed [JURIST report] after Munyaneza was beaten by a fellow prison inmate, lasted two years and included evidence from multiple nations. International legal observers expect Munyaneza's trial to set precedent for future war crimes litigation.
Chen was originally found guilty on corruption charges [JURIST report] and sentenced to life in prison in September. Chen's wife was also given a life sentence [CNA report] after the pair were convicted on charges of embezzlement, receiving bribes, forgery, and money laundering. A three-judge panel of the Taipei District Court [official website, in Chinese] also sentenced their son to two-and-a-half years in prison and their daughter-in-law to one year and eight months. Ruling on another indictment against Chen, the district court on Tuesday found him not guilty of embezzling [JURIST report] USD $330,000 from the Foreign Affairs Ministry [official website] to finance his son's studies in the US. The court held that the indictment was without credibility [CNA report], was contradictory, and was not supported by the facts presented. Prosecutor General Huang Shyh-ming said that he may appeal to the High Court. Chen has maintained his innocence against all charges, claiming that current Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou [official website] is using Chen's trial to distance himself from Chen's anti-China views. Chen was also indicted in December for allegedly embezzling USD $20 million from banks [JURIST report] that sought to protect themselves during Chen's financial reform program.
The US Supreme Court [official website; JURIST news archive] affirmed the EPA's ability to regulate carbon emissions under the Clear Air Act in its 2007 ruling in Massachusetts v. Environmental Protection Agency [Cornell LII backgrounder; JURIST report]. In its ruling, the court held that if the EPA could show a link between greenhouse gas emissions and public health and welfare then the act gives it the power to regulate emissions. The EPA announced last December [JURIST report] that it had found that greenhouse gases "threaten the public health and welfare of current and future generations," and that emissions from motor vehicles contribute to greenhouse gas pollution. The EPA first announced its proposed finding [JURIST report] in April before undertaking a 60-day public comment period. Some have suggested that the EPA findings have allowed Congress to avoid the political fallout [JURIST comment] that could come from passing tough climate legislation.
the planning, preparation, initiation or execution, by a person in a position effectively to exercise control over or to direct the political or military action of a State, of an act of aggression which, by its character, gravity and scale, constitutes a manifest violation of the Charter of the United Nations.
Earlier this month at the review conference, US Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes Issues Stephen Rapp expressed concern [JURIST report] over the potential adoption of the state aggression law by the ICC, claiming that it could undermine the integrity of the court. Addressing the review board, Rapp said that the proposed aggression charge is overly broad and could result in politicized investigations into use of force. Additionally, Rapp stated that the US government is concerned that the broad definition of aggression will create legal uncertainties is terms of state action. He held that "a fundamental principle of legality is that individuals must know whether conduct crosses the line into that which is forbidden before they act and not learn the answer in the crucible of trial." Delegates opposed to the ICC mandate are wary of its impact on the use of force, such as NATO's bombing of Kosovo in the 1990s, Tanzania's invasion of Uganda to overthrow military dictator Idi Amin, or more recently Colombia's raids in Ecuador against Marxist rebels. Under the latest proposal, the court could not investigate an act of aggression committed by a non-member state.
In January, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) [official website] called for the repeal [press release] of Article 5651 in order to bring Turkey's penal code in line with Turkey's commitments to OSCE and international standards. Additionally, it accused the Turkish government of using political and arbitrary reasons for blocking certain websites. Turkey implemented a controversial ban on the popular video-sharing website YouTube [JURIST report] in 2008 in response to video clips purportedly insulting the founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk [BBC profile]. In Turkey, insulting Ataturk is an imprisonable offense. Similarly, "insulting the Turkish identity" is a serious crime under the controversial Article 301 [AI backgrounder] of the penal code. Internet users in Turkey are currently blocked from accessing nearly four thousand websites.

Say it isn't so. Justin Bieber was asked about plans to attend college and the 17-year-old star gave an answer that sounded a lot like "no way." This shouldn't come as a huge surprise to fans since girlfriend Selena Gomez and friends like Demi Lovato and Taylor Swift are college age and not in school. Still, it would be nice to see one of these youngsters giving college a try.
Hollywood Life reports, "Justin Bieber was asked if a college education is in his future during Fashion's Night Out on Sept. 8, and he told reporters: 'To be honest, not in my plans as of now.'"
Though there's absolutely nothing wrong with not attending college, it would have been a better message if he had explained that he thought college was a good choice, just not one that was right for him at the moment. So many kids look up to Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, and they need role models who attend college and value their education. The Biebs also went on to say that he didn't enjoy high school because of all the drama.
Who knows, perhaps one of these stars will end up being like Natalie Portman or James Franco who both went on to college.
What do you think about this crop of teen stars like Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, and Demi Lovato not going to college?

Cheap hotels in Neubau, Vienna
Neighborhood Description
Neubau is Vienna's nightlife epicenter, a recently gentrified area that still retains a lot of grit despite its nightly metamorphosis into party central. Located north of Mariahilf, the shopping options may seem paltry in comparison, though the dearth of shopping opportunities are mitigated by the expansive, recently birthed Museumsquartier. Home to 60,000 square feet of art and culture, the Museumsquartier includes the museums of modern art and architecture.
And there are certainly opportunities to consume here. Neubau is one of the best places in the city to shop for antiques.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- If you've been to the Charlotte Douglas Airport recently, you might have noticed, parking is getting more tricky.
The airport recently demolished both the east and west hourly parking decks to make room for a new hourly parking deck and rental car facility.
The construction is putting a strain on other airport parking lots. Many travelers NBC Charlotte spoke with were frustrated.
"All of the long-term one, two, three were closed. So we had to go to four, which was way out there," said Diana Heft of Elkin.
The Sheffields were picking up their daughter flying in from Boston and were looking for quick, short term parking.
"I was trying to find the hourly parking. I had parked there before and I couldn't find it so, I'm like, it's right there, it's right there and it wasn't," said Eric Sheffield.
The couple ended up in the daily lot. The hew hourly deck will be seven levels with 7,000 parking spots. In the meantime, Charlotte Douglas' Aviation Director suggests customers use the business valet lot.
"Pull inside, walk through this little lobby. Get on the bus and we'll have you at the front door in four minute," said Jerry Orr.
At $10 a day the business valet is cheaper than the former hourly parking. Orr recommends people picking up travelers use the cell phone lot.
The cell lot is free. Some travelers had some advice to those parking at the airport.
"Probably need to get here early, in case you have problems like I did," said area resident Joseph Coffey. The new airport hourly parking deck should be finished in about a year.

In June, I go to Toronto in Canada to make new programs for new koreografieni Shae-Lynn Bourne and David Wilson. I'm real excited about the new pattern of cooperation and programs that will surely be real nice and memorable!
So, yes. Sounds like she will also be there.
Ok, it is public information now. Let´s hope that she will get something lively to skate to!
Happy she's going to Bourne, unhappy she's going to Wilzzzon.

Fleet Ready To Use Enema
Fleet Ready To Use Enema is a bowel cleanser that acts by increasing the water content of your stools, and in this way it helps to relieve constipation and clear the bowel. It can be used in the relief of occasional constipation and where bowel cleansing is required, such as prior to a endoscopy, bowel surgery or an X-ray examination.
Fleet Ready To Use Enema is for the relief of occasional constipation. Constipation generally occurs if you have three or fewer bowel movements each week, and your stools are hard, dry, and difficult to pass. In this situation, Fleet Enema can provide help and relief.
How does Fleet Enema work?
Fleet Enema is a saline laxative. Saline laxatives work by drawing water into the colon which helps produce a bowel movement. This provides a soft stool mass and increased bowel action. A bowel movement should be stimulated in 1 to 5 minutes, without pain or spasm. Fleet Enema is also ideal for bowel cleansing before undergoing a rectal examination. Plus, it's latex-free.
Fleet Enema comes in a ready-to-use, disposable squeeze bottle with a soft, pre-lubricated Comfort tip.
What would you use it for?
- Relief of occasional constipation.
- Where bowel cleansing is required, for a endoscopy, bowel surgery or an X-ray examination.
How to use Fleet Ready To Use Enema:
- Adults, Elderly and Children over 12 years old: 1 bottle (118ml delivered dose) no more than once.
- Children aged 3 years to less than 12 years: As directed by a physician.
- Do not administer to children less than 3 years of age
Method of administration for rectal use only:
- Lie on left side with both knees bent, arms at rest.
- Remove orange protective shield.
- With steady pressure, gently insert enema Comfortip into anus with nozzle pointing towards navel.
- Squeeze bottle until nearly all liquid is expelled.
- Discontinue use if resistance is encountered.
- Forcing the enema can result in injury.
- Return enema to carton for disposal.
- Generally, 2 to 5 minutes are sufficient to obtain the desired effect.
- If delayed discontinue further use and consult a physician
- For occasional constipation rectal enemas are to be used to provide short-term relief only.
Caution before using Fleet Ready To Use Enema:
- Do not use Fleet Ready-to-use enema when nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain is present unless directed by a physician.
- Patients should be advised to expect liquid stools and should be encouraged to drink clear liquids to help prevent dehydration
- This product should be used with caution in patients with abnormal renal function. Where the clinical benefit is expected to outweigh the risk of hyperphosphataemia
- Repeated and prolonged use of Fleet Ready-to-Use Enema is not recommended as it may cause habituation. Unless directed by a physician, Fleet Ready-to-use enema should not be used for more than two weeks.
- Rectal bleeding or failure in bowel evacuation after using Fleet Ready-to-Use Enema (evacuation occurs within 5 minutes of administration) may indicate a serious condition. No further administrations should be given and the condition of the patient should be assessed by a physician.
- Fleet Ready-to-Use Enema should be administered following the instructions for use and handling. Patients should be warned to stop administration if resistance is felt because forced administration may cause local damage.
- Keep all medicines out of the reach and sight of children
- You should carefully read all product packaging and labels prior to use
Side effects of Fleet Ready To Use Enema:
Use with caution in patients taking calcium channel blockers, diuretics, lithium treatment or other medications that might affect electrolyte levels as hyperphosphataemia, hypocalcaemia, hypokalaemia, hypernatraemic dehydration and acidosis may occur.

exellent I have lived with cronic constipation all my life this is fantastic wouldnt be without spares
I was recommended this product to treat IBS symptoms every 5-7 days after a hospital colon examination where it is used as a routine to clear out your lower colon. I cannot recommend it enough and I am genuinely surprised at one of the reviews that does not recommend it "especially before a bowel examination" - what do they expect a doctor to do? Examine your bowel when it`s full of you know what?!First time you use one of these on yourself it will feel odd but you quickly get used to it. It makes you feel considerably cleaner and better (I feel considerably better after one of these than I have done since I started having IBS symptoms nearly 8 years ago) but it is strongly recommended that you do not allow yourself to become reliant on it.Excellent value and service from this website too.

Marriage Proposal Video: Cystic Fibrosis Patient Kevin Dwyer Proposes To Girlfriend At NYC Marathon (VIDEO)
Sunday was a big day for New York City Marathon runner and cystic fibrosis patient Kevin Dwyer -- not only did he finish a grueling 26-mile race, he also proposed to his girlfriend.
In this video of the proposal, Dwyer gets down on one knee at the finish line, popping the question to his girlfriend, Katie Kolb. She screams "Yes!"
Since the spring, Dwyer has been training with Kolb for the New York City Marathon. Out of the 47,000 runners who participate in the race every year, Dwyer is one of few with cystic fibrosis -- a life-threatening chronic disease that clogs lungs with a buildup of thickened mucus.
There is no cure for the disease, which affects more than 30,000 Americans. Despite the fact that the life expectancy of CF patients is about 37 years old, the couple has stayed positive: "I just kind of hold onto the idea that miracles happen daily," said Kolb. "You never know what life is going to throw at you."
And about the proposal? "I just would have no other way," said the newly-engaged bride. "I would be with no other man."
For more memorable proposals, click through the slideshow below:
The Movie Trailer
Matt Still proposed to his girlfriend Ginny Joiner in this movie trailer--in front of an audience of more than 100 cinema-goers. Matt's elaborate proposal was even covered on CNN. The video, posted in May 2011, has been watched 19 million times to date.

More than 1.5 million people have watched this clip since it was posted in June 2011 (the show returns to Fox Nov. 23).
'I Love You, I Really Do'
The bride-to-be isn't featured in this video from May 2008--but she did say yes. More than 1.1 million people have watched this proposal.

The odds are good, but you'll have to gear yourself up for a little competition. Because paralegals are taking on more responsibilities and are, as a result, being paid higher salaries, the occupation is starting to become more desirable. The fact that it recently had its hair done and stopped wearing baggy pants has also helped to make it more attractive.
There are still nowhere near as many individuals going after paralegal
jobs as there are pursuing a career as an attorney, but if the trend continues, there will soon be millions of paralegals and no lawyers. Hm... we think we may have made an error in our calculations...

Recently on Linkedin's Running in Business group, runners were asked what running mobile/Internet/other high tech tool they use and which they liked. The comments varied, but the responses served as a nice introduction of what's out there for us novice (or below novice) gadgeteers:
Nike+: If you use an iPod nano, iPod Touch or iPhone 3GS, you've already made the biggest investment here; the Nike+ iPodSport Kit ($29) works with the nanoand the Nike+ Sensor ($19) works withthe other two. You slip the sensor into your shoe (Nike coincidentally also makes shoes with special pockets under the sockliner)m which sends signals to the receiver that plugs into the iPodand provides feedback on distance, time, pace and calories burned on the screen and through headphones. As you might imagine, it also has an elaborate music component that allows you to craft the perfect soundtrack to your workout. And if you're not into music and headphones while you run, there's also a Nike+ SportBand ($59) that bypasses the iPods but does all the tracking.
Suunto t6c: This heart-rate monitor boasts real-timeTraining Effect and EPOC, monitors hill altitude performance along with speed, distance and cadence, and provides a physiological analysis of your training on your computer. Also includes a comfort belt that calculates real-time heart rate and calorie consumption. It's pricy; amazon.com lists the multi sport pack costing in the $500-600 range.
Garmin Forerunner 305, ($199.99) oneof a whole fleet of Forerunners, wraps a GPS antenna around part of the wrist witha better view of the sky. It includes a wireless heart rate monitor and lets you compare your pace and heart race against past performance. Also allows you to plan, analyze and store information about your workouts online.
BlackBerry BiM Active: From Bones in Motion, BiM Active is a free service to turn your BlackBerryinto a way to track and share outdoor activities such as walking, running and bicycling. It allows you to share your location and other information with others. It tells your pace, elevation, location, calories and gives maps and weather in your area.
RunKeeper is an iPhone application that tracks your workout habits, improvement, maps and stats. It lets you share your workout by e-mail and social sites like Facebook and Twitter. It too tracks duration, distance, speed, elevation, calories and paths. You can download a Free version as well as a Pro version for $9.99.
Trackometer iPhone App ($1.99): Uses the GPS feature of the iPhone to track distance traveled and elevation changes and can upload routes to RunningMap.com from anywhere and lists each new route under "My Routes."
Nokia Sports Tracker Beta: This free GPS-based tracker runs on compatible Nokia mobile devices and provides speed, distance and times and stores the information in your diary, and allows you to store and share workouts and routes.
Your turn
This is just the tip of the iceberg. In the time you're read this, a bunch more high-tech apps and GPS systems have probably been invented and put on the market. So, if you've used any of them, which do you recommend? Which ones not on the list do you recommend? And if you're thinking of going high tech with your exercise, what's most important to you? Heart rate/workout information? Or mapping/GPS? Or just the date and the time? All or none of the above? Drop us a note at firstname.lastname@example.com with your thoughts and recommendations!

Perspectives: From the Editor
What's in Store for Innovation?
Chemical industry executives share perspectives on priorities and issues
Innovation always has played an important role in the chemical industry, both for developing new products and for addressing significant production and business challenges. Novel specialty chemicals, polymers and pharmaceuticals, among other products, testify to the inventiveness of our industry. Meanwhile, just as in the past, tackling critical issues remains a priority.
For instance, as I pointed last month ("Carbon Competition Names First Round Winners"), technology may yield productive uses for carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that many consider a prime culprit in global warming. In addition, efforts to improve the sustainability of chemical production continue to advance (see, for instance, "Sustainability Gets the Spotlight,") as do developments that promise more-efficient manufacturing (e.g., "Isobutene Process Progresses."). CP even ran an article recently on the unusual approaches some chemical companies are taking to spur their employees' creativity ("Dow Chemical, Eastman, Eli Lilly and AkzoNobel Incite Innovation").
A report recently released by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), New York City, provides an interesting, more-general perspective on innovation in the chemical industry. "Using Innovation to Drive Sustainable Growth in the Chemicals Industry" includes inputs from 41 corporate-level chemical industry executives in 12 countries.
More than half (51%) of these executives consider innovation "very important — a competitive necessity" to the success of their companies now, with 41% terming it "quite important." Even more executives view it as crucial in five years time: 54% calling it very important and 44% quite important.
However, PwC reports that chemical companies are spending a smaller percentage of revenue on innovation than industry as a whole and significantly less than the top 20% of innovators. Moreover, under two-thirds (63%) of chemical industry respondents say their companies have a well-defined innovation strategy versus 79% of respondents from top innovators. Such a strategy should set out the balance a company seeks in its efforts on innovation, e.g., between incremental improvements and game-changers, notes PwC. It also should cover how to measure progress, motivate and retain talent, assess external collaboration and choose the right partners, adds the firm.
As far as the priority area for innovation over the next twelve months, more respondents (28%) cite products. However, services and technology also draw substantial support: 23% and 21%, respectively. Nevertheless, 95% of respondents say their firms will innovate in technology over the next three years versus 87% who point to products. In addition, when it comes to the significance of innovations over the next three years, respondents expect that more than half of technology debuts will be breakthrough or even more momentous while a majority of product launches will be incremental.
Innovation in business models over the next three years will strongly focus on the customer, notes the report: 88% of respondents expect their firms to enhance the customer experience and 84% foresee servicing un-served or under-served customers.
Much of the burden for innovation rests with individual business units, according to the respondents. Indeed, 76% say formal innovation structures exist in business units and 73% note that individual product areas or services are responsible for their own innovations.
The report cites some ambitious plans:
"In three areas — technology, customer experience, and the supply chain — more than 40% [of respondents] expect to see breakthrough or even radical innovation over the next three years. In all three areas, the sector is matching — or even surpassing — the expectations of the top 20% of innovators across all industries.
"For every other type of innovation we looked at, over 30% of chemicals respondents expect their company to make radical or breakthrough advances. Our experience shows that innovation portfolios have historically targeted more like 10–20% of innovation, so this reflects a profound shift happening in sector innovation."
In assessing issues affecting innovation, a majority of respondents (56%) term "taking innovative ideas to market quickly and in a scalable way" very or somewhat challenging. Significant numbers also cite "finding and retaining the best talent to make innovation happen" (49%), "establishing an innovation culture internally" (49%), "finding the right external partners to collaborate with" (46%), and "having the right metrics to measure innovation progress and track return on investment" (39%).

What is The True Stock Market Price (Inflation Adjusted)?
With the recent Wall Street crash and recovery, how does the Stock Market compare? Where has the stock market really gone over the long run? Or is the upward trend an illusion based on inflation?
Adjusting stock market prices for inflation using the "Consumer Price Index" is known as the Stock price in "real dollars". (A "real dollar" is the price after adjusting for inflation).
One of the worst problems with inflation is that distorts our perception... things are not always what they seem and this introduces uncertainty into our decision making process.
Here are some various scenarios:
- The stock market went up 5% a year and inflation went up 3%.
- The stock market went up 5% a year and inflation went up 5%.
- The stock market went up 5% a year and inflation went up 6%.
- The stock market went down 5% a year and inflation went up 2%.
In example #1 above inflation increased less than the stock market so the real return is 5% minus 3% so you had a "real return" of 2% (before taxes and after the inflation adjustment).
In example #2 inflation increased the same as the stock market so the real return is 5% minus 5% so you broke even (before taxes). But after paying taxes on the phantom gain of 5% you will actually lose money.
In example #3 above inflation increased more than the stock market so the real return is 5% minus 6% so you had a real loss of 1% (before taxes). But you will still have to pay taxes on the 5% gain making your real loss even worse.
In example #4 you have a 5% loss on the stocks plus a 2% loss of purchasing power for a net loss of 7% but you will be able to offset that somewhat by claiming the loss on your taxes.
As you can see the only way to see the true picture is to look at the inflation adjusted prices. We have created several other inflation adjusted price charts including Oil, Gold, Corn, Gasoline, Electricity, Mortgage Rates and Education.
The most commonly mentioned method to measure the stock market is the Dow Jones Industrial average.
I have often wondered why this index is so widely quoted by economic pundits, (other than the fact that it was originally created on May 26, 1896, making it the first index). At the time the DJIA represented the average of twelve stocks from various important American industries. Today the "DOW" is made up of 30 "representative" stocks and it's composition has changed many times over the last 100 plus years. Because the Dow takes out poor performing stocks and replaces them with better performing ones it has an inherent upward bias.
Rather than rely on "representative" stock indexes I prefer the real thing so I have created this "inflation adjusted stock price" chart by adjusting for inflation on the entire New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The NYSE has the largest dollar volume of any stock exchange in the world. It has 2,764 listed securities, so it gives us a much broader view of the stock market than any 12 or 20 or 30 stocks could. With only 30 stocks a large move in any one of them could influence the entire index. There have been days when Microsoft or Wal-Mart alone has created a significant move in the index even if all the other 29 stocks were doing nothing.
Historical Commentary:
Let's look at the stock market and see how it has fared this year in real inflation adjusted dollars compared to previous years.
As you can see from the above chart the blue line shows the "nominal NYSE index" (meaning the actual price quoted by the media). To get the "Inflation Adjusted" red line we adjust the stock price for inflation using the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) which is typically referred to as the "Inflation Rate". This gives us the price in terms of modern dollars. In other words, the red line shows what the stock market would look like if there was no such thing as inflation.
In nominal terms (blue line) the NYSE stock index began 1966 just under 500. And by July of 1982 the nominal stock index had increased to 615 after having been even higher. So on the surface it would appear that the "stock market" posted an increase of roughly 23%. (615-500=115) and (115 ÷ 500=.23)
Now a 23% increase in 16 years would be a nominal increase of 1.43% a year (less if you consider compounding) which doesn't sound that great, but in those days stocks paid higher dividends than they do today. So investors expected to get their profit from dividends rather than capital appreciation. So most investors would be happy with a 23% increase in their stock portfolio over and above their dividends.
The inflation adjusted stock price
However, when you adjust for the increase due to inflation, we can see from the red line (which is the "inflation adjusted NYSE Index stock price" in current dollars) that in inflation adjusted dollars the index began 1966 higher and fell through July of 1982.
So rather than a 23% increase, if you count inflation and had held stocks for the 16 years from 1966 to 1982, you would have actually lost about 59% of your purchasing power due to inflation.
But to make matters worse you would have paid taxes on your dividends and "paper gains" further reducing your final remainder. This may be one reason companies began reducing dividends, so more money was pumped into increasing the stock price and wasn't taxable until you actually sold.
Current Commentary:
In the time since 1982 the stock market has increased both in nominal terms and in inflation adjusted terms. Interestingly in inflation adjusted terms the NYSE stock index is just slightly above the peak of 2000. The August 2000 stock peak occurred at around 6800 in nominal terms or 9118 in April 2013 inflation adjusted terms. So in 13 years the market has gone precisely nowhere. This is why "buy and hold" doesn't work.
From the bottom in April 2002 the market moved higher until the July 2007 peak which was at 11,318 in inflation adjusted dollars. This is a 24.7% increase in seven years from peak to peak or about 3.2% per year (compound interest).
Why Prechter Might Be Right
In inflation adjusted terms, the market looks very much like a "Head and Shoulders" with the 2000 peak being the left shoulder, the 2007 peak being the head, and the February 2011 peak could very well be the beginning of the right shoulder. The dotted line from the 2000 peak would be considered the "neckline" and the inflation adjusted price for the right shoulder needs to cross above this line to cancel out this pattern which it appears that we are now in the process of doing. However, now we are in "no man's land" if the NYSE makes new highs (above the inflation adjusted July 2007 peak we can assume it will continue upward for a while. But there is still the possibility that because the 2008 crash was below the 2002 crash that the trend is still downward. (This is only visible in inflation adjusted terms). A move above 11,373 would negate this.
