Is There an Environmental Kuznets Curve for Bangladesh?
The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) posits that environmental degradation increases at the initial stages, but declines as the economy achieves a certain level of economic growth, measured in per capita income terms. This postulated relation produces an inverted Ushaped curve. The topic has drawn much research attention for both developed and emerging economies. Over the past few decades Bangladesh has been achieving remarkable rates of economic growth. A dense population along with a growing industrial base has raised the specter of a looming environmental crisis. The present study empirically investigates the EKC hypothesis for Bangladesh using data from 1971 to 2010. The Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach to cointegration has been implemented for a long run relation; and the Granger causality within the vector error correction model (VECM) for the short run dynamics. The series are found to be cointegrated. We find that energy consumption is a major contributor to CO2 emissions. Trade openness improves environment, but urbanization worsens it. Economic growth, energy consumption, trade and urbanization Granger cause CO2 emissions. Knowledge of the existence of an EKC relation can help craft appropriate policies to promote economic growth and identify the turning point, and help preserve the environment.Download Info

Ioan Gruffudd still gets ''excited'' when he meets famous people.
The 'Fantastic Four' actor - who is expecting his second child, a sibling for three-year-old Ella, with wife Alice Evans - has worked in Hollywood for over 10 years but admits he still feels in awe of other celebrities.
He said: ''I've gotten used to it now, but it's still exciting. The more time you spend in places mingling with celebrities, the more confident you become.''
Ioan worked with Leonardo DiCaprio on 'Titanic' in 1997, and despite his huge successes, the US star is just the same now as he was back then.
Ioan said: ''He's such a lovely guy and an amazing actor. He's so consistent too. Whenever I see him, he always remembers our time together - even though it was about 15 years ago now.''
The Welsh actor believes big stars are often nicer and less diva-like than up-and-coming faces because they are comfortable with themselves.
He told Britain's OK! magazine: ''I think it's because the bigger stars know they don't have anything to prove. They've achieved everything they wanted and they've done it all. It's the wannabes who let it go to their heads because they haven't quite achieved the status they want in the industry.''

Pantelion Films presents the latest entry into its Pantelion Films Series, the intense psychological thriller LA ULTIMA MUERTE. Dr. Jaime Alexanderson (Alvaro Guerrero) finds a wounded and unconscious young man (Kuno Becker) by the doorstep of his cabin. When the young man awakens not knowing his own name, Jaime sets out to help determine the stranger's identity, inadvertently entering into a world of danger and conspiracy. Pursued by federal agents, Jaime and the stranger try to piece together his broken memory before the conspiratorial powers that be kill them.
From acclaimed director Victor Nunez (ULEE'S GOLD), SPOKEN WORD tells the story of Cruz Montoya (Kuno Becker, GOAL!, FROM MEXICO WITH LOVE), a rock star on the West Coast poetry circuit, where audiences from San Diego to Seattle gather to hear him perform. Just off the road from a successful tour, he gets an unexpected phone call alerting him that his father, Senior (Ruben Blades, PREDATOR 2, ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO), is fatally ill. Cruz rushes home to his dying father, a reclusive former schoolteacher still leading a traditional life in their once bucolic mountain valley, now ravaged by poverty, drug abuse, and violence. After years away, Cruz quickly begins to retreat into his troubled former life, managing a Santa Fe hip-hop club owned by a local crime boss, Emilio (Miguel Sandoval, BOTTLE SHOCK, CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER), who Senior used to run with back in the day. Seduced by the fast action and easy money, Cruz loses his poetic voice, his identity, and almost his life, before he finds a way to heal his relationships with his family, his community, and himself. A nuanced depiction of an evolving father-son relationship, SPOKEN WORD depicts the edgy collision of old and new worlds in a rare, authentic portrait of Latino culture in the Southwest, illustrating how cultural roles and machismo can give way when families can move beyond words, both spoken and unspoken, to share the language of their hearts.

Trade Liberalization and the Relative Wages for More-Skilled Workers in Costa Rica
A prominent argument regarding the effects of trade liberalization on the dispersion of wages in LDCs is that trade liberalization should lower the relative demand for more-skilled workers by inducing between-sector shifts towards sectors intensive in unskilled labor. Based on a disaggregating, nonparametric approach that imposes little structure on the data, the paper presents evidence that trade liberalization in Costa Rica led to an increase in relative demand. Other findings are consistent with the "skill-enhancing-trade hypothesis," whereby trade liberalization induces an acceleration of physical capital imports, which raises relative demand through capital-skill complimentarily.

MIAMI (AP) -- Forecasters say Tropical Storm Henriette is gathering strength out in the Pacific Ocean, far from land.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Monday that Henriette was about 1,415 miles (2,277 kilometers) west-southwest of the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula.
It has maximum sustained winds of 60 mph (97 kph) and is moving west.
Meanwhile, Tropical Depression Gil was moving to the west-southwest, about 1,175 miles (1,891 kilometers) east-southeast of Hilo, Hawaii.
No watches or warnings are in effect for either storm.

Portuguese Chicken, Lemon and Mint Soup |
In a large saucepan or medium stockpot combine chicken, celery, onion, garlic, parsley, lemon zest, mint sprigs, crushed red pepper and water. Bring to a boil, skim, reduce heat and continue to simmer for 45 minutes, or until chicken is tender. Strain stock through a fine sieve. Transfer chicken to a plate to cool and discard remaining vegetables. Return stock to saucepan, and continue to reduce until broth is flavorful. Add rice to stock and continue to cook until rice is tender. When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove meat from bones and tear into bite-sized pieces. Add to broth and rice and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add lemon juice, mint and salt and pepper to taste and let cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with lemon slices and sprigs of mint if desired. |

December 8
I didn't hear about it on the day itself. It was on the morning of December 9, 1980, as I was walking downstairs to the kitchen, that the lovely, familiar voice of Boston's public radio program, Morning Pro Musica, Robert J. Lurtsema told the listening world that John Lennon had been killed the night before. I sat right down on the stair, unable to proceed, sobbing. Wasn't it just a short time before I had to pull my car over and park so I could hear this wonderful new song John and Yoko were singing called (Just Like) Starting Over? How could this be real? I wanted to be with all those people in NYC. I couldn't believe how the world around me hadn't stopped; that there were actually many people living their lives as if nothing had happened, and weren't even talking about him. I wanted to be with others who understood the importance of this man in our lives.
As I tried to find the song to post here, I came upon a very moving tribute to him. A little piece of art at youtube.

Sup. Bevan Dufty and Alix Rosenthal
Alix Rosenthal Discusses Candidacy, Bid Against Dufty
by Casey Mills' Jul. 05' 2006
Editor�s note: Alix Rosenthal is running against Bevan Dufty in this November�s race for District 8 Supervisor.
Beyond Chron (BC): Why are you running for Supervisor in District 8?
Alix Rosenthal (AR): I decided to run because I want to lead San Francisco into a more affordable and sustainable future. I don�t want to say there�s a lack of leadership on the Board, because I think there�s a lot of leadership there. But I think there can be more leadership in terms of affordable housing, sustainability and violence prevention. Those are my three key issues in this race.
In terms of affordable housing, I want to make sure that everybody who wants to live in San Francisco can live in San Francisco. There was a story in the Chronicle that said we�re losing our middle class. I often has question what the chronicle says, but I think that article was right on. We�re losing our worker bees, we�re losing our artists. The Castro is becoming more and more straight every year, with all the condo conversions, and we have to be very careful about who we�re becoming. We�re turning into a more homogenous society, and I want to keep San Francisco weird. I want to make sure that we hold on to the folks that make this city the place that I moved to, and I moved here because San Francisco is a bubble, and I love this bubble. I love how freaky it is. I love the freaks, and I include myself in the freaks
BC � What is the main reason Bevan Dufty should be unseated?
AR - I like Bevan as a person. He�s a really nice guy, and very good at answering his phone and returning e-mails. But he�s a reactionary. If he is alerted to a pothole that needs to be filled, he makes sure that constituency is connected to the person who can fill that pothole. However, I think this district needs a person who is going to lead this city into the future, and take on some of the really tough issues facing both District 8 and San Francisco. Like the issues I�ve mentioned.
I�m going to actually write legislation. I�m going to bring groups together to collaborate on this legislation. And I�m also going to answer my phone and e-mail, and make sure the constituent services are taken care of, because they�re a very high priority for me. But I�m also going to be an active legislator, and that is something that I think Bevan has not done.
BC � What are some of your accomplishments?
AR � I was instrumental in turning around the Elections Department. When the Elections Commission was created in 2001, the Elections Department was a mess. The director at the time had eviscerated the staff, and morale was at an all time low. There were ballot boxes floating in the bay, and people�s confidence in their elections systems was at an all time low. That to me was the scary thing, because elections are the foundation of democracy people have to have confidence that the results of their elections are true and good and right. So when being on that first Elections Commission, and being in the leadership of that commission, we very quickly turned it around by getting a new Director who did a really good job of building the morale and building the Department back up very, very quickly.
Another issue is not so much a San Francisco issue as much as a regional issue. I was hired to help turn around the Oakland army base. The Oakland Base Reuse Authority, which is a joint powers authority created to help with the transfer of the army base from the army to the City of Oakland) was actually in a very similar state to the Elections Department when I came on board. It was perceived in this city to be upside down, and I�m proud that we are about a month away from turning the base over to the Redevelopment Agency. I�ve really helped turn that department around.
I�m proud of helping to rebuild the National Women�s Political Caucus that went through a difficult time a couple years, because most of our Board members split off and became another organization. With the help of Sadie Ferguson, we�ve rebuilt the organization from a dwindling membership of around 36 members to about 230. And that�s no small feat.
I also served as Treasurer on Proposition H, the handgun ban, which I was very proud of.
BC � What is your experience working in District 8?
AR - I�ve lived in the same place since 1999. My experience has been both as a renter and a homeowner. I actually rented my place before I bought it from my landlord. I�m a dog owner, and I know all the parks in District 8 very well, as does my dog.
A lot of my extracurricular work out side of my job has been focused on citywide issues. For example, I�m president of the National Women�s Political Caucus, and we fight for feminist causes around the city. My work on the Elections Commission was citywide as well. But I feel very psychically connected District 8, because while it may be slightly more affluent tan other districts, it is significantly more progressive than other districts. If you look at Rich DeLeon�s Progressive Voter Index, what really strikes you is that while District 8 is I think the second most affluent district next to District 2, it�s the fourth most progressive district. That�s something I really identify with. I don�t necessarily identify with the affluence, but I own a home and I�m probably more comfortable than most folks in the city who can�t afford a home. But I feel very fortunate that I was able to buy my place, and I don�t feel like I have any kind of sense of entitlement for that reason. Some people call us limousine liberals - I just call it folks with a conscience, and that�s what I think District 8 is.
BC � What do you have to say to progressives questioning your status as a progressive?
AR - What makes me a progressive is my devotion to economic justice. I said this at the Harvey Milk Club meeting last night - you cannot separate economic justice from the values I believe that the folks of District 8 hold, and the folks of the city hold. For example, in terms of queer rights, you cannot separate transgender rights from economic justice, because transgender folks face discrimination every day that lead many of them to live in SROs. Queer homeless youth are on the streets because of discrimination too, so you can�t separate out economic justice form these issues as I know a lot of groups in this town like to do.
A lot of folks from San Francisco feel that it�s consistent to be in favor of homeownership and against discrimination, without seeing the kind of subtleties of those issues. For example, condo conversions are a good thing for some people and really horrible for others. It was a good thing for me because I was able to convert myself from a renter to a homeowner, and I�m not against that. However, we�ve got developers and speculators who are converting condos and displacing folks who�ve been living in rent-controlled apartments for a very long time. As a renter who�s become a homeowner, I identify with the renter portion. I identify with the person who had a really hard time becoming a homeowner and found an opportunity to do it, and I want to help others do the same.
I�ve been very deeply involved in the Burning Man community in the last couple years. That community has really opened my eyes to the possibility in the world, in particular with keeping San Francisco freaky. I feel like Burning Man is to San Francisco what San Francisco is to the rest of the world. It�s really important to me that San Francisco retain its unique character, and I think that�s a progressive value.
BC � What role do you think sexual orientation will play in this race?
AR � I think there is a lot of affinity between the feminist movement and the queer rights movement. Essentially, homophobia is very similar, if not the same, as gender discrimination, because it�s discrimination based on a fixed identity trait. Supreme Court cases, such as Bowers vs Hardwick, equated gender discrimination with homophobia.
I�ve always felt a strong affinity with the queer rights movement for a very personal reason. My uncle Cameron was gay, and died of aids in 1995. He never came out of the closet to his family, and it really tore us apart. It made me profoundly sad to know that he could not live his life as fully as he should have been able to, because he was afraid to explain his sexuality to his family. It wasn�t because we�re homophobic. To this day I don�t know hwy he didn�t come out to us, because I know he was out to other folks. It happened at a formative moment in the creation of my political belifs, and I think that�s one of the reasons I�ve always fought for civil rights.
Sexuality could play a role in this race. District 8 is Noe Valley, the Castro, Glen Park, parts of the Mission and Diamond Heights. It is not majority gay, so I assume that alot of gay folks will vote for Bevan simply because he is gay and because they affiliate with his identity. I also think that a lot of gay folks will look at the two candidates and compare their ideologies, and I�m hoping folks will vote for me who agree with what I plan to do in city government, independent of my identity.
BC � If you were elected tomorrow, what are some of the things you�d try to accomplish?
AR � I�d support Sophie Maxwell�s minimum wage legislation. I�d support Ross Mirakrimi�s cooperative housing legislation that I hear he�s working on.
I�d like to make it harder for folks to convert to condos and make sure we are not allowing speculators and developers to convert condos, and that the folks that are converting condos are people who are living there and want to keep living there.
I want to work on sustainability issues, including imposing stricter green building requirements both on public and private projects. The city of Chicago has some fantastic green building requirements that they�ve imposed on private projects, and every single city building has a green roof. I don�t think that�s the case here in San Francisco.
I�d also like to work on getting Prop. A back on the ballot. Violence issues are very personal to me. I�m a survivor of domestic violence, and I�d really like to see a coordination of city governments to better prevent and punish domestic violence.
BC � What was your involvement with Bill Barnes� campaign for Supervisor, and why didn�t the campaign file with the Ethics Commission?
AR - I was Bill�s Treasurer. I opened his bank account and I paid his bills. Bill was responsible for raising his money. I didn�t participate in the raising of his money, except to the extent that I attended the one or two parties that we held. Bill is a master fundraiser
The filing is a much more complicated issue. Our campaign computer, that was unfortunately not backed, but had all our finance records on it, was stolen the day after the election. It was because we left it in the office, and we think that somebody had a key that shall remain nameless was responsible for the disappearance of the computer. So it took us a very long time to reconstruct those records, and I believe Bill has done that. We filed a police report, but that was why were a non-filer. It was a stupid lack of communication between us and the Ethics Commission.
BC � What�s your current stance on Instant Run-Off Voting (IRV)?
AR � Right now I�m helping the folks out the same folks that were promoting IRV in San Francisco in their effort to get IRV in Oakland. I�m a deputy city attorney over there, and I know most of the council members, and work pretty closely with them. I felt it was important to tell them at the Rules Committee hearing the other day that having been through the IRV experience in San Francisco. I had a lot of the same questions they may have about IRV. What I�ve seen in this city is that all the fears of widespread disenfranchisement caused simply didn�t come true, and we�ve got the numbers to show it. There was no significant drop off of folks, particularly of language minorities, which is who we were most worried about. So I testified to the committee to say, �Hey, this works.�

"The set of specs that we saw leak for the DROID Bionic through Motorolas developer site a few weeks back are looking spot on. There were some questions around whether or not they were final or simply pieced together from other devices, but after seeing this leaked Tips and Tricks guide for it, Id say those questions have been answered.
The Bionic will have a 4.3″ qHD screen, 1GHz dual-core processor (more than likely OMAP), 1GB DDR2 RAM, 8MP rear cam, front camera (likely VGA), 16GB internal storage, 16GB microSD pre-installed, web top capabilities, HDMI mirroring, and 4G LTE."

Apparently she can get out of her crib now.
I opened the door and beheld this horror, and she (face liberally smeared with lotion) pipes up brightly, "Hi Mommy! I don't wanna spankin'!"
(a ploy which TOTALLY WORKED, if you were wondering, because it was just all too cute to bear.)
I guess it's time to get a big girl bed? At least then she can get BACK in bed if she chooses to get out of it.
This child is hilarious. And charming and delightful and sweet. And one minute she's all:

Leach pulls defender from Texas
Senior defensive end
Malik Jenkins
(Ennis, Texas) has become the latest prospect from the Lone Star State to commit to former Texas Tech and current Washington State head coach Mike Leach, Scout.com reports.
The Cougars topped scholarship offers from Houston, North Texas, Rice and Stephen F. Austin for Jenkins. Arkansas, Illinois and Oklahoma State also showed interest.
An undersized defensive end at 6-foot-1 and 202 pounds, Jenkins has the athleticism necessary for a potential transition to linebacker. He registered an electronically-timed 4.8 40-yard dash, 4.41 20-yard shuttle, 33-inch vertical and 88.56 SPARQ this spring at a Nike Combine.
Washington State has 11 commitments for 2013, including three from Texas.

DescriptionMostly shade, this area has harder routes. I think it gets less traffic as it is harder to find. Typical Rocky Butte Basalt. Sport, Toprope, and Trad.

One can also approach Warrior Wall from below. Getting ThereA few yards from road parking. The easiest way to find Warrior Wall is to walk along the road and at the guardrail enter the path on the "south" or right side of guardrail. The guardrail descent parallels the road to the "north" and then heads steeply down the brushy slope. See pictures for a better idea. 3 Total Routes

Read on for the synopsis and details of how to enter...
Audaciously filmed as one continuous tracking shot, The Silent House is at once a love letter to cult horrors from the annals of cinema history and a daring experiment that delivers its scares in a truly unique way.
The story follows Laura and her father as they begin work on renovating a sleepy country cottage that is due to be sold off by its owner. Everything seems to be going smoothly until Laura hears a sound from upstairs that gradually gets louder and louder. Her father goes up to see what is going on while she remains downstairs on her own waiting for him to return – and the true horror of the situation become painfully clear...
Directed by Gustavo Hernández and based on a true story that is alleged to have happened in a small village in Uruguay in the 1940s, The Silent House is a remarkably refreshing journey into terror and unlike anything horror fans will have encountered before – so much so that it's already been snapped up by Hollywood for a remake.
Read our review here.
To be in with a chance of winning all you need to do is drop us an email with your contact details, the subject heading "SILENT", and an answer to the following question...
The Hollywood remake Silent House is produced by the team behind which shark thriller?

I have been involved in music all of my life. As a child I played trumpet in band and sang in school and church choirs. My favorite movies were musicals and they still are my favorite. Music was my major in college, which included singing, dancing, acting and playing musical instruments. I like all types of music. As a school teacher, I taught 3rd. grade through high school, everything from band and choir to musical theater. I also taught private students, of all ages, piano, guitar, voice and most of the wind instruments.
Bass Guitar, Guitar, Music Performance, Music Recording, Music Theory, Songwriting, Upright Bass
Josh N. (BA) teaches at Bananas at Large in San Rafael (Marin County) California. Known for his patience, excellent playing skills, and thorough knowledge of the bass, Josh has been successfully teaching electric and upright bass students from all levels and genres since 1995. Students can expect to study their favorite music, tone production, applied chord and scale bass theory, slap bass, walking bass, bassline construction, bass solo construction, building basslines from chord symbols, note reading, arco (bow) studies for upright bass, interval ear training, interval location studies, and note memorization techniques. Josh recently completed his own bass instruction manual which will guide the students even more!
Bass Guitar, Drum, Guitar, Music Recording, Music Theory, Songwriting
My passion for music has led me clear across the country, from Boston to the San Francisco Bay Area. I have played guitar for 17 years, in various bands of many different genres, and have attended music schools on both coasts to fortify my musical knowledge. I attended Berklee College of Music in Boston and then graduated from Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park. My specialties are in rock and metal guitar, and also in composition and music theory.
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."
"My daughter's wedding was weeks away and I had never been able to dance a step. With Jenny's help, I came further than ever before in such short time in any subject."

Good web site - product selection process really good and excellent delivery service.
I managed to break one of the strings on my electric 12 string and contacted Strings direct for two new sets one afternoon - the following day the new strings had arrived as if by magic and the labour intensive process of restring my beautiful 12 string was finished. - Joy!

Her skin color is just so different than any of the other dark-skinned dolls, and her hair is so long and silky! I adore her, I much prefer she and Gwen to Chrissa who just didn't make the cut with me. I received Sonali as a 17th birthday gift from my little brother who still cant comprehend my continued obsession with these dolls. None the less I appreciated the gesture. She looks so cute in the different shades of blue and green and I love the concept of her wearing a pull over top as it truly is a modern type of clothing.Grade: A

The New World Order
Are we, as a planet, at the glorious, shining horizon of a new world order, one that will be free of autocratic rule and tyrannical despotism? For the vast majority of human history, democracy has been the exception, not the rule.
Ever since recorded history, kings, emperors, and military dictators have hoarded for themselves obscene wealth by subjugating countless masses to the yoke of servitude and oppression. But now, a glorious wave of rebellion is sweeping over North Africa. First in Tunisia and then in Egypt, iron-fisted, avaricious autocrats have been sent packing. Then next, this wave, the sweet-scented contagion of freedom, has reached the door of the more obdurate and brutal despot, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, whose days in power are surely numbered, and who has likely signed his own death warrant by the senseless slaughter of his own people.
Will this wave of freedom continue its giddy momentum to the rest of Africa? …to the rest of the world? Why not. After all, this wave has been generated, in part, by the undercurrent of technology. Cell phones cameras and the Internet, which brings to light every good and ugly thing for every corner of the globe to see, has become the implacable enemy of thug regimes.
Through the new media of transparency, our planet has truly become a world community in which the weight of public opinion is heavy indeed. Our world has become one in which lies and arcane practices are becoming increasing more difficult to perpetuate and maintain. Our translucent world is one where everyone can see what the other has and where democracy is the only means by which to achieve this equity. How can a planet joined together by Facebook remain for long so disparate in the bread and butter of basic human rights and acceptable living standards? It cannot.
It appears that ultimately power does rest with the people. This quest for individual happiness, free from the towering shadow of oppression, will not stop with North Africa. No, the wave of the future is democracy, and it will continue to spread gradually, yet inexorably, to the rest of Africa, to China and eventually to every corner of the globe well before the end of this century. So, as blood of freedom seekers is spilt in Libya -on the bright side- we are witnessing the dawn of a new age.
