Reuters Investigates
Insight and investigations from our expert reporters
Nuclear power in scary places
Today's special report "After Japan, what's the next nuclear weak link?" takes a look at developing countries' plans for nuclear power. Read the story in PDF format here.
Andrew Neff of IHS Global Insight sums up the issue in this section:
If in a modern, stable democracy, there could be apparently lax regulatory oversight, failure of infrastructure, and a slow response to a crisis from authorities, then it begs the question of how others would handle a similar situation.
"If Japan can't cope with the implications of a disaster like this," said Andrew Neff, a senior energy analyst at economic analysis and market intelligence group IHS Global Insight, "then in some ways I think it's a legitimate exercise to question whether other less-developed countries could cope."
The nuclear power industry is booming, with countries like China, Russia and India leading the way in building new plants, as this graphic shows:
Is a 10 percent chance of disaster too high for a nuclear power station?
Kevin Krolicki has another alarming special report from Japan today challenging the assertion that the disaster facing Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was beyond expections.
The report quotes Tokyo Electric's own researchers who did a study in 2007 on the risk of tsunamis:
Battling meltdowns, nuclear and fiscal, in Japan
Check out two special reports out of Tokyo today.
The first examines what has happened at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant since Friday's massive quake: "Mistakes, misfortune, meltdown: Japan's quake" (PDF version here)
Here's how one expert sums up the situation:
"They might have been prepared for an earthquake. They might have been prepared for a tsunami. They might have been prepared for a nuclear emergency, but it was unlikely that they were prepared for all three," said Ellen Vancko, an electric power expert with the Union of Concerned Scientists.
ElBaradei: From nuclear diplomat to Cairo politics
Who is Mohamed ElBaradei, the professional Egyptian opposition figure who joined the ranks of disaffected Eypgtians to topple President Hosni Mubarak after thirty years in power? Does the 68-year-old diplomat and lawyer have what it takes to become Egypt's next president if it holds free and fair elections?
Louis Charbonneau's special report takes a close look at ElBaradei's performance while at the helm of the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), where he stood toe-to-toe with the Bush administration over Iraq and Iran. It tells how he survived a plot by hawkish U.S. politician John Bolton to oust him and went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005 jointly with the IAEA, the U.N. nuclear watchdog. It looks into his questionable record as a manager while showing that he may have what it takes to lead Egypt — if he wants the job.
In case you missed them
Just because it was summer, doesn't mean we weren't busy here at Reuters. Here are a few of our recent special reports that you might have missed.
Tracking Iran's nuclear money trail to Turkey. U.N. correspondent Lou Charbonneau – who used to cover the IAEA for Reuters – followed the money to Turkey where an Iranian bank under U.S. and EU sanctions is operating freely. Nice to see the New York Times follow up on this today, and the Washington Post also quizzed Turkey's president about it.

A key part of prayer is persistence. Often, it's not enough simply to ask. God wants us to not be afraid to be persistent. How do we know that? Jesus told a story about a widow who'd been in a dispute with an enemy. She approached a judge and decided she wasn't going to give up pleading with him. Finally he gave in and said 'I'm going to see that she gets justice, because she is wearing me out with her constant requests' (Luke 18:5)! Wow, what a great attitude to have in prayer, right? Never giving up.
But wait...what about that judge? He sounds a little off. Does this story mean that God is indifferent to our needs? Does He really care about our prayers, or does He only give in to us because we've nagged Him enough? Not at all. The judge in this story is unjust; Jesus made his story's judge a bit of a grumpy old man to make His point: if this tired, grumpy old man gives in, 'don't you think God will surely give justice to His chosen people who cry out to Him day and night? Will He keep putting them off' (Luke 18:7)? Remember that this is God in Heaven, who loves to see you blessed.
If you don't see an answer to that prayer, keep asking Him. He's not reluctant to answer you, but He's working things to give you the very best, and wants you to get even closer to Him in the meantime.
So what now? Pray and pray again for something you've given up praying for. God is willing and is waiting.

Arazous Interviews: Ben Kenney
I managed to catch up with Incubus's bass player, Ben Kenney, just before he jetted off back to the states in preparation for the leg of his solo tour.
We discuss what it takes to be a huge rockstar; the pros, the cons and the utter determination, and also to hear what advice Ben has based on his own incredible experience.
It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try to readjust the way you thought of things. The Baudelaire orphans were crying not only for their Uncle Monty, but for their own parents, and this dark and curious feeling of falling that accompanies every great loss.

Running is not a choice from the breaking. Breaking is freeing, broken is freedom. I am not broken, I am free.

Financial Aid & Scholarships
At Susquehanna, we are committed to making college affordable for our students and their families.
- Susquehanna has made more than $61 million in scholarships, grants, loans and Federal Work-Study Program awards in 2014–15.
- More than 96 percent of our students receive some form of aid.
- More than half our students work in part-time campus jobs to fund their own personal expenses.
We will work with you.
- We know that each family may have its own personal financial concerns. We are here to help. We work individually with accepted students and their families to help identify the right resources to fund a Susquehanna education.
- A student's total cost of attendance is more than just the university charges. We know there will be other expenses, so we use a more comprehensive formula for scholarship awards that factors in other educational costs, such as books and personal expenses, when awarding financial aid.
- Susquehanna participates in an array of federal, state and private programs that provide aid to our students. ROTC and the Yellow Ribbon Program are two examples of such programs.
- When scholarships are awarded from outside sources, they are—to the extent possible—added to other grants and scholarships already in place.
- Payment plans and other low-cost loans are also available to supplement a student's financial aid package.
Applying for financial aid will require an investment of your time, but our financial aid staff is available to assist. You can schedule a phone conversation or meeting to learn more about funding opportunities. Please contact us by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com or calling 1-800-326-9672 or 570-372-4450.

Awesome band you should know about!
some thoughts about punk rock..
Summer in Greece is such a great experience..not.
The heat outside is unbearable and I'm trapped inside a university with no lights
and a billion mosquitoes preying on my skin.
Alongside my existential issues, lately I've been thinking about the meaning of all this..Running a blog, playing music, going to shows.. Punk rock.
Is it plain lifestyle, where concerts turn into popularity contests and running blogs give you a prestige or something? I'm sure that is what it is for some people.
I'm not here to prove that I am a punk-rock-know-it-all, but I think that after 5 years of constant searching,reading and listening to all this shit I've figured what it means to me and what this whole thing really serves.
I used to be concerned about who is really punk and who's a poser and meaningless crap like that, but I've come to realize that the real question is what has punk become and what it really means.
I consider punk to be the way to cope with all the shit around and I think of it as something that evolves through the decades and changes meaning all the time, which is why i think "no future" punks have no place in this scene at all.
It's not about the way you dress, not about getting drunk and being stupid.
I believe that dressing in an unusual way used to make a statement, but nowadays we have all these stupid Lady Gagas that do it and make tons of money and don't get me wrong I like getting shitfaced but we really need to have our minds in our heads, the times are too hard.
Punk is about unity&resistance,
a tool for spreading the word about injustice and the bastards that are trying to keep us down.
Had it not been for punk, I wouldn't have slightly understood the oppression and the beating of our lives.
So we have to keep it this way, we have to work together to keep a scene that is alive and becomes bigger as the time goes by.
We have to keep doing it ourselves, together and we should never exclude anyone from this whole thing for whatever reason (age, sex or whatever issues we have with them).

How 'Grand Budapest Hotel' Helped a Wes Anderson Hater Change (Sorta)
Published: March 19, 2014
My name is David Riedel. You may know me as a film critic who sometimes writes reviews for the Current. Or you may not. But you'll probably remember the following sentence because it contains four hot words: "Fucking," "hate" and "Wes Anderson."
I fucking hate Wes Anderson's movies.
It feels really good to get that off my chest. I can't count how many times I've been among a group of critics and been the only one who can't stand the guy's work. Fucking can't stand the twee sets, the precious music, the precocious kids who still, after all, are just kids, and the fucking everything else.
(I also don't like writing reviews in first person but the idea of using such loathsome language really demanded I own it.)
Lest you think I'm without sin and casting the first stone, let me assure you: Nah, I've sinned. And fuck The Royal Tenenbaums. Fuck Bottle Rocket (but not as much as The Royal Tenenbaums). Fuck Moonrise Kingdom, and really fuck The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. "I'm part gay," says Jeff Goldblum's character at one point in that movie. WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?
And though I haven't seen Fantastic Mr. Fox or The Darjeeling Limited, fuck them, too. That last sentence is terrifically unfair, but given how I feel about the rest of the man's oeuvre, why not go ahead and assume I'll hate those movies, too.
Look, I know I'm in the minority. I'll probably have my critic's card revoked, and I can see my screening invitations drying up. I get that there are people who like Wes Anderson. They like the dollhouse feel and intentionally odd dialogue and the long tracking shots and his use of a tripod.
Maybe that's why I like Rushmore. There was a time when Anderson was fresh. Rushmore is the first wise-beyond-his-years kid in an Anderson movie. It has Bill Murray's remarkably subtle performance (look at his face when he learns Max's father is a barber). Maybe it's Anderson operating on all thrusters before he realized he had an audience and could coast on his perceived charm.
I have no idea what motivates Wes Anderson. Like my predetermined unviewed dislike for Fantastic Mr. Fox and The Darjeeling Limited, it's unfair of me to speculate.
And that brings me to The Grand Budapest Hotel. Unfortunately for my hate-filled heart, I have to admit it ain't half bad. Sure, it looks like a hipster's wet dream and it has a few anti-gay gags in it that are as offensive as the "part-gay" bit in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. (And the villain utters the gay jokes here, so perhaps they can be defended.) But whatever. The movie ain't half bad.
See, it's a caper, and capers are fun, see? And like most capers, it has lots of twists and turns and stops and starts. The Grand Budapest Hotel begins in the present day, and then it zips back to the mid-1980s, and then it zips back to the late-1960s, and then it zips back to the 1930s.

The Vitamin Myth: Why We Think We Need Supplements
This is a long read, but totally worth it. Some history about Linus Pauling too. Very interesting!
The Ethical Placebo Effect
"In a previous study published in the British Medical Journal in 2008, Kaptchuk and Kirsch demonstrated that placebo treatment can be highly effective for alleviating the symptoms of IBS. This time, however, instead of the trial being "blinded," it was "open." That is, the volunteers in the placebo group knew that they were getting only inert pills — which they were instructed to take religiously, twice a day. They were also informed that, just as Ivan Pavlov trained his dogs to drool at the sound of a bell, the body could be trained to activate its own built-in healing network by the act of swallowing a pill."
"In other words, in addition to the bogus medication, the volunteers were given a true story — the story of the placebo effect. They also received the care and attention of clinicians, which have been found in many other studies to be crucial for eliciting placebo effects. The combination of the story and a supportive clinical environment were enough to prevail over the knowledge that there was really nothing in the pills. People in the placebo arm of the trial got better — clinically, measurably, significantly better — on standard scales of symptom severity and overall quality of life. In fact, the volunteers in the placebo group experienced improvement comparable to patients taking a drug called alosetron, the standard of care for IBS."
"Meet the ethical placebo: a powerfully effective faux medication that meets all the standards of informed consent."
Wow - amazing! Even when you know it's a placebo, it works!

Stunning spiders web building
I have always been intrigued by the span of the support rigging of some spiders webs. This was kindled further with a web that hung from lines that stretched about 12 feet across my garden. How the hell did the tiny spider engineer this?
Of course, I have seen Spider man films where he throws a long line to jump from building to building, but it kind of did not occur to me that these tiny little spiders in my garden might actually operate in the same way because I had never seen it in operation, until today.
I sat mesmerised under warm blue skies for 2 hours watching this marvel of agility and spatial awareness build a web.
At one point, perched on a high wire 2 feet above the grass between to plants, he threw 2 or 3 strands out and upwards. Now these are desperately fine lines, yet as strong, weight for weight as tensile steel. I watched stunned as these were fabricated from the tiny spider abdomen, rising upwards, across the garden wall to the middle of the next door garden over the head of my bemused neighbour. Ten foot streams of ultra thin material manufactured ultra fast from a spider less than 1% of their length. They actually failed to latch onto the garden wall (or my neighbour), so the spider returned to nearer matters to construct his web.
He used many techniques to construct it, rapidly using all his limbs in a masterly act of construction, somehow aware of all the rigging and the stages of construction of each part. I took some photos, the first shows the thread from the abdomen being added to the web :

Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action - Franz Ferdinand
- Band Name: Franz Ferdinand
- Record Label: Domino
- Release Date: Aug 27, 2013
- Record Label: Domino
- Genre(s): Pop/Rock, Alternative/Indie Rock, New Wave/Post-Punk Revival
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 27 out of 39
Mixed: 12 out of 39
Negative: 0 out of 39
Aug 27, 2013By expanding its worldview, Franz Ferdinand has very nicely settled onto a path toward career longevity.
Aug 23, 2013Franz Ferdinand's Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action is an unapologetically swaggering disco-rock album that refuses to overstay its welcome.
Aug 27, 2013It's an album that tries not to shout 'old school Franz are back', even though it unmistakably signals that old school Franz are back.
Aug 23, 2013Kapranos and co have delivered what is simultaneously 'just another Franz Ferdinand' album and one of the indie records of the summer.
Sep 4, 2013It's an album surprisingly even in its delivery, if a little underwhelming in content, somewhat reserved and unquestionably safe.
Sep 23, 2013Last year's stellar Battle Born, felt considerably more vibrant than Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action ever does.
Oct 4, 2013Not a song sticks. It's sheer style that carries this disc, albeit one that sounds great.
Score distribution:
Positive: 13 out of 15
Mixed: 2 out of 15
Negative: 0 out of 15
Sep 3, 2013This album is so good that I still haven't decided with song is my favorite one. The first four tracks (from Right Action to Stand on the Horizon) are very danceable, and all of them should be singles. There are also more introspective ones, like Fresh Strawberries and The Universe Expanded, and the lyrics of both of them, which talk about mortality and transience, are very good.
Maybe Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action is their best album since the first one.… Expand
Aug 29, 2013After the album Blood where they strayed away from their roots (already kinda were) they come back with Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, and they hit the spot. They go back closer to their roots, and it works. Upbeat songs like "Love Illumination" work so well and blend in with the album so well. It brings back memories of their album "Franz Ferdinand". After four years they are back and have fixed themselves up. Hope I can see more of this, I want to see many more albums. This album clearly deserves a 10 out of 10.… Collapse
Jul 29, 2014This is hands-down one of the best albums I have ever heard in my entire life. Pretty much every track was just downright amazing. A fantastic album by a fantastic band, no doubt.… Expand
Feb 25, 2014I am a big fan of their debut album that was released back in 2004. For some strange reason, i didn't listen to the second and third albums. Perhaps because it was said by many that they were departures from their original style.
This album, however, can be considered a return to form. It has the same style, coupled by experimentation in some tracks. The result is a very amazing album, and one of the best to be released in 2013.… Expand
Aug 20, 2014Franz Ferdinand have always had a talent for writing quirk and catchy pop songs and this talent is as evident as ever on this, their 4th studio album. "Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action" has the trademark Franz sound and is especially close in style to their excellent debut. While some might lament the perceived lack of stylistic progression, the main point is that this is highly enjoyable pop music and should be appreciated on its own merits. The highlights for me include "Love Illumination", "Stand on the Horizon" and "Bullet". This album is as strong and consistent as the best work to be found in their back catalog so if you like what they've done before you are sure to appreciate this album.… Expand
Nov 12, 2013I will admit, I was a little disappointed with the last Franz Ferdinand album. But this brings me right back to the excitement I felt when I heard their debut. My only gripe is that the first three tracks on the album have been released in some form as singles. This might not give some the incentive to listen through the entire album, which they should. It is worth it.… Expand
Sep 29, 2013[5.9] It's interesting, that's for sure, but the spectacle that once was Franz Ferdinand is now a silly pop band that doesn't have consistent or strong songwriting. It's definitely a likable album, I just don't really like the incredibly saturated sound that they've put forth. I much prefer the carefree, simple sound of their debut.… Expand

David's opening party went very well on the 19th. If you weren't able to attend, try to see the exhibition before it closes on May 10th, because it's impossible to adequately see the detail in these paintings in photographs or on screen; although we will be publishing photos of the exhibition at the gallery in the near future,
In this show, David presents many new works created with paints that are not
supposed to technically be compatable with each other, when applied wet to a canvas surface.
But despite their supposed incompatibility, the paints themselves, under Tobey's very controlled direction, alter their flow, movements & transformations in remarkable ways never seen before until they come to rest on their world -- the flat canvas.
Some of his earlier imaginaries, developmental to his latest discoveries can be seen on this website here, but see the show in person to really appreciate them.
More information is in the press release now available here.
David Tobey is a painter and sculptor who has had an active life-long career as a professional violinist and visual artist as well as a music & art teacher. The son of the noted historical painter Alton S. Tobey, in his early years he studied with his father and at the Art Student's League in New York and received his Master's degree in Art from the College of New Rochelle. David is an alumnus of the Juilliard School who was selected in 2004 as one of 100 of their most outstanding alumni, and he is a founding member and violinist with the Westchester Philharmonic Orchestra and he performs with many other musical groups.
His art has been commented upon in reviews as a "synaesthetic relationship between abstraction and music . . . the connection between linear and musical rhythms" (NY Times, 3/14/04); " . . .human drama, subconscious imagery, and a playful imagination, all coalesce in paintings and sculpture" (Art in America, 9/07) and his sculpture as having " . . .a unique draftsmanly fluidity in metal, surpassing even that of [Julio] Gonzalez" (Gallery & Studio Magazine, 1/07). "Through his use of vibrant color and his innate musical talents, David stimulates his viewer's senses by allowing them to experience a psychedelic 'mind-manifesting' interpretation of his subject," said Kathleen Masterson, Curator of The White Plains Museum Gallery, where Tobey had a recent solo show March 30th through June 15th, 2011.
David pursues his very active careers in both music & art in his home community of Westchester County, NY and has had more than two dozen solo and group shows of his paintings, prints & sculpture mainly in New York City galleries and in the New York tri-state area, most of which have been benefits for organizations he supports, including The American Cancer Society, The Westchester Philharmonic, The Juilliard School, The Danny Club, The Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle and others.
Click on any of the buttons at the top or bottom of any of the main pages on this site to see many of David's ABSTRACT paintings, his POP art of musical and other subjects and his welded steel SCULPTURE.
His résumé, artist's statement and a chronolological list of his exhibitions, awards and other things are on his ABOUT page; and photos of past exhibitions and some taken at his receptions with links to articles about him and reviews of his exhibitions are on his SHOWS page.
News about his current shows, upcoming ones and copies of his past media releases are listed on his NEWS page. To add your name to his email or his postal mailing list, or if you have any questions or would like information on availability or prices for any of David's paintings or sculptures, just email David or call him at (914) 329-2581.
A very abbreviated synopsis of his career as a musician can be seen on The Westchester Philharmonic Orchestra's web site here, for those who may be interested. When visiting this or any of the other links to pages noted on this site, to return to the original page just use your browser's "back" button. We hope you enjoy your visit and will come back to see more of his work again soon, as new art is added periodically, along with our posting of invitations to David's upcoming exhibition openings and other events.
If you would like your name placed on the invitation list for his next solo exhibition, which will be in April 2014 in New York City, just email David or call him at (914) 329-2581.
Art gallery owners, art dealers or interior designers who may be interested in his work or who would like to see a preview of the paintings in this upcoming NYC show are also cordially invited to contact him.

It really works! But if you do as it says on the bottle it won't work.. No, you have to put it in a spray bottle and spray it in your towel dried hair, then you blow dry your hair and voila! The hair is a few shades lighter..

I was looking for a product to lighten my hair naturally with the help of the sun. This product worked fabulously. I love the fact it has many natural ingredients. I thought it was hard to use in the bottle it comes in, following their directions. I put it in a small spray bottle and just sprayed the areas I wanted to lighten , that was much easier and worked great!! Loved it !! Great alternative to Beach blonde which has been discontinued.
Really helpful!

I've bought this product expecting to have a subtle effect in my dark hair. However, the results were much more noticeable than I thought. I moved the product in a spritz container and used it once a week on my freshly washed hair then I would blow-dry it. That is how I got the most results. My natural dark hair has become a really beautiful shade of auburn with no traces of dryness as I would have got from dying it. However, I must say that my hair tips (which have been colored before) hadn't really changed so I guess this works mostly on natural hair.
Excellent! Loved the results!

I already have scandinavian blonde hair but it had gotten a little dull and dark. So I bought this product because i didn't want to use conventional bleach as it will damage my very fine hair. I completely soaked my hair with half the bottle and kind of massaged it in and went out in the sun until it was dry. Then washed it out. The results were amazing. My hair became a few shades lighter and brighter. The results were amazing and my hair was not damaged at all!!! A+

Autism typically strikes preschool-age children, changing forever their lives and those of their families. One parent described the onset of autism as an "unwanted intruder who stole [her] son's mind and personality and left his bewildered body behind."
Jon Shestack, representing Cure Autism Now (CAN), a parent-led organization to advance biomedical research, spoke at the first national summit on autism organized by federal health and education agencies. The conference was held last November in Washington, D.C.
A decade ago, according to Shestack, few scientists were devoted to autism research in the entire country and funding was scarce.
"To accelerate the pace of autism research, several parents including us formed CAN in 1995 about the same time psychiatrist Eric London, M.D., and his wife, Karen, formed the National Alliance for Autism Research," said Stestack.
The Londons' son, Zachary, is autistic, and the couple was frustrated by the slow pace of autism research and lack of funding.
Both CAN and NAAR have raised millions of dollars to fund pilot research projects and advance awareness of the disorder. Their efforts are paying off.
Thomas Insel, M.D., director of the National Institute of Mental Health, who introduced Shestack at the summit, said, "He has led the charge in waking us scientists up to the importance of this disorder as a public health problem."
The rate of diagnosed autism cases has nearly doubled in the last decade from 1 in 500 children to 1 in 250 children. Scientists consider autism to be a spectrum disorder with symptoms ranging from mild to severe.
CAN initiated the Autism Genetics Resource Exchange, which will be shared with several research teams in the new collaborative Autism Genome Project announced at the summit. The project is the largest research collaboration ever assembled to determine the genes associated with the complex autism-spectrum disorders.
NAAR will collaborate on the genome project with the NIMH, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and National Institute of Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, according to NAAR Chair Prisca Chen Marvin.
The other research teams participating in the Autism Genome Project are affiliated with the Autism Genetics Cooperative, the International Molecular Genetic Study of Autism Consortium, and the Collaborative Programs of Excellence.
NAAR announced that it has committed $2 million to the project, and the four research institutes collectively committed $2.5 million.
"By pooling our resources and working together, we increase our chances of creating significant breakthroughs in the next five to 10 years that can improve the lives of families affected by autism," said Marvin at the summit.
"Unraveling the complex genetics of autism-spectrum disorders will require the kind of statistical power afforded only by pooling of DNA samples and data from ever larger numbers of affected families," said Insel at the summit.
Marvin announced another collaborative project with NICHD at the summit. The multisite High Risk/Baby Sibling Autism Research Project focuses on early diagnosis of autism-spectrum disorders and identifying biological and behavioral markers. The population under study is at high risk for developing autism: the infant siblings of children with autism. NAAR, which funded pilot studies for the last five years, has committed $700,000 to the new collaboration with NICHD.
Information about the two NAAR/NIH collaborative research projects is posted online at www.naar.org/news/render_pr.asp?intNewsItemID=149. ▪

Why Jim Yong Kim won't change the World Bank
Thomas Bollyky has a subtle and slightly confusing op-ed in the NYT today, entitled "How to Fix the World Bank". Worldbankpresident.org, your one-stop shop for all news on the race, calls it "an important endorsement for Jim Kim, and for change at the World Bank". But while it's the latter — Bollyky's case for change is strong and compelling — it's by no means the former. Indeed, Kim in many ways represents the status quo ante, and a vote against change at the Bank.
The heart of Bollyky's argument is the undeniable case that since the world has changed, the Bank needs to change too.
An election based on American citizenship, as opposed to a vision for institutional leadership, limits the support from shareholders that the president of the World Bank needs to enact bold reforms.
As a result, the World Bank remains largely stuck in an operational model of providing country-specific loans and grants that are increasingly irrelevant to its institutional mission of reducing global poverty…
The pressing challenges in international development have changed. While fewer countries are very poor, many of their citizens remain so. The number of people living on less than $2 per day has declined as a share of the world's population but has stayed around 2.5 billion since 1981. Income disparities have increased. More than two-thirds of the world's poorest people now live in middle-income countries, where health care, education and environmental regulations lag far behind economic growth. Persistent poverty, when combined with limited governance and unprecedented rates of urbanization, has produced huge slums, which now house nearly one billion people in developing countries. Many of the emerging threats to global prosperity are collective problems that no government alone can solve: climate change, water shortages, inadequate agricultural productivity.
The World Bank is designed along simplistic lines, even if the problems it faces are anything but. The world's poor live in poor countries, is the implied syllogism, so we should lend those countries money to help them develop and become richer. If we solve the problem of poor countries, we'll solve the problem of poverty.
This approach became outdated somewhere around the millennium. In 1990, 93% of the world's poor lived in low-income countries. By 2007, three-quarters of the world's poor lived in middle-income countries. So if the World Bank is still focused on lending money to low-income countries, it's by definition missing most of the world's poor.
Bollyky says that Kim's inexperience in government will be damning "only if he is forced to lead an institution largely devoted to providing the country-by-country loans and grants that fewer and fewer governments need." But that is the US vision of the World Bank. Moreover, precisely because he's unfamiliar with World Bank bureaucracy, Kim is the least qualified candidate if you want someone who is going to radically revamp the way the Bank works.
If you want to understand what the Obama administration thinks the job of the World Bank is, all you need to do is read Barack Obama's own remarks when he nominated Jim Kim to lead the institution. First, he said that Bob Zoellick "has been a strong and effective leader at the bank for the last five years" — which gives you an idea of what the US considers "strong and effective" in this context. Then, we got this:
The World Bank is more than just a bank. It's one of the most powerful tools we have to reduce poverty and raise standards of living in some of the poorest countries on the planet…
Ultimately, when a nation goes from poverty to prosperity, it makes the world stronger and more secure for everybody.
Obama here is talking very explicitly in the old language, where the Bank targets the poorest countries on the planet, and tries to help them from poverty to prosperity. That's sad, because if you look at the the history of the World Bank, it has been quite bad at shepherding countries from poverty to prosperity: it's been most active in countries where that hasn't happened, and meanwhile the countries which have managed the change have done so largely on their own, without much in the way of World Bank assistance.
As Bollyky says, what the Bank should do is revamp its architecture so that it can target poverty wherever it is found around the world, rather than working mainly in the world's poorest countries. And at the same time, it must play a coordinating role in addressing cross-border issues, especially in a world where one country's necessary crop irrigation looks to its neighbor very much like the theft of precious water.
But the World Bank won't move far in that direction so long as its president is imposed by fiat of the US. In order to work effectively at the sub-national and international level, the World Bank needs to be a genuinely international organization, run by and for the whole world, rather than being viewed as a means for the US to project "soft power" in Africa and elsewhere. For that reason alone the president of the World Bank should not be a US citizen, and in fact it would probably be helpful if the US didn't put forward an official nominee at all. After all, as Bollyky notes, the US already has a veto over the Bank's presidency: that should be more than enough.
More to the point, if the president of the World Bank is going to come in with a mandate to fundamentally change the way that the organization works, then that person really has to be very clear about what they want to achieve before the decision to appoint them is made. Both Okonjo-Iweala and Ocampo are happy to answer detailed questions, in public, about their vision for the Bank; Kim isn't. And he can't be vague now if he wants to be decisive once in office.
Bollyky concludes by saying, quite rightly, that "Kim needs to be candid and specific with shareholders and the public about his agenda for revitalizing the World Bank". Another way of putting that is to say that if Kim is not candid and specific with shareholders and the public about his agenda, then he should not become president of the organization. The time for "listening tours" is over. He needs to start talking, now. Because you can't have a mandate if the electorate has no idea what it's voting for.

Geez, did Jim Kim slap you around one day or something? This hard-on you have for attacking his candidacy is getting nutty at this point, and the straws you're grasping at are weak at best. Saying once he's perhaps not the best candidate: fine. Going on and on about it like this: fail. I guess all that's left to add is a video with you flailing your arms about and then you can quit it?
KIM FINALLY GAVE AN INTERVIEW (IN PORTUGUESE IN FOLHA DE SAO PAULO)! It shows that it was a good idea not to let him do this, as his patent unsuitability for the job shines through. Translated version follows:
I was born in a poor country and will be a link between the U.S. and emerging
Folha de S. Paul | World
April 6, 2012
Likely future president of the World Bank, Korean-American doctor praises Brazilian anti-AIDS program
The fact that it was carried with only five years on the U.S. country where he grew up and got citizenship after-did not make Jim Yong Kim, 52, American candidate for president of the World Bank, lost his identity with the developing world.
This is what the virtual next president of the institution maintains, after receiving support from Europe and Japan for the post, which many argue is filled by a citizen of the emerging world.
Kim competes with two representatives from developing countries: the Nigerian Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and former Finance Minister Jose Antonio Ocampo of Colombia.
"I was born in Korea [South], I left the country while still in a state of poverty. Grew up in the U.S., but I know deeply what is living in poverty," he said in an exclusive interview to Folha, in Brasilia, where he finished a tour for emerging and developing countries-Japan more
In the campaign, the candidate declined to talk about thorny issues such as the impact of protectionism of big savings and financial market regulation.
Folha – It is great pressure for the next World Bank president is the emerging and developing countries. The sr. believes that this group represents?
Jim Yong Kim – I was born in Korea [South], d eixei the country while he was still living in poverty, and my parents were refugees, my father, North Korea, and my mother, the war.
I grew up in the U.S., but I know deeply what is living in poverty. I worked most of his life in developing countries in Latin America-Peru, Mexico, and also in Africa. My career can be a bridge between U.S., Europe, emerging and developing countries in Africa.
The other two candidates have more experience in finance and economics, key issues for the World Bank. As a doctor may be a better option?
The main issues are the World Bank's economic development and poverty reduction. So I'm very qualified, because most of my life I worked with it, not only health but social development, education, housing, gender equality.
In the book "Dying for Growth" (2000), you that the stimulus to economic growth helped boost world poverty. Ho do you see this relationship today?
The book was written based on data from the early 90s, and his specific argument is that growth can occur in a more inclusive way. At that time, there were policies that provide for the reduction of spending on health and other social areas.
But in 90 years the bank has changed its policy very significantly. Today there is a global consensus that we need to find ways to grow with inclusion.
How can the Brazilian experience help?
When I was assistant director-general of WHO, we watched the Brazilian experience of social inclusion in the program for HIV-AIDS. It was exactly what we needed in Africa.
In the case of the bank, which I think is important to continue looking great innovations, and Brazil have strong examples of how to achieve growth with social inclusion. And the World Bank can do this important job of presenting the work done in Brazil and other developing countries to the rest of the world.
Some specific program may serve other countries?
What I know is the most HIV-AIDS program. It was a classic case in which many people did not want this type of investment, and Brazil and was made an example for the rest of the world.
What were the main demands heard of Brazil?
I've been before in India and China and I think that emerging economies want more voice in the World Bank. What I heard, of Brazil, especially, is a desire to have even stronger role in the bank. This could occur in many forms, but it would be premature to give details.
The BRICs want to create their own development bank. He could be a threat to the World Bank?
The World Bank already has a good history of working with other development banks. If the database is created the BRIC countries, believe that the World Bank will work very closely with him.
What should the World Bank's role in the advancement of emerging economies?
The World Bank still has an extremely important role. On my trip, I realized three things to look forward to working: First, jobs. Every country has a problem with that, and the bank has a key role in generating employment.
Another point is gender equality, and the World Bank to help improve maternal health, for example, which is also a problem of infrastructure.
Finally, I heard a lot about the importance of modernizing the bank. I had the experience of a major restructuring at Dartmouth College [where is dean] during crisis. So I have some experience in institutional reform.
"For that reason alone the president of the World Bank should not be a US citizen"
Huh? So Americans should be barred from post?
Felix, if you despise America that much, you are free to leave. You represents a strange kind of America-hating immigrant that previous generations of immigrants would never have understood.
Ever since I was an Executive Director at the World Bank, 2002-2004, I have publicly held that what has no representation at all in the World Bank, is the World at large. The Executive Directors represent the parochial interest of geographical bound countries, and so it is only rational to allow its President to represent the World.
@PerKurowski – Are you familiar with this Anglo-Saxon turn of phrase –
"He who pays the piper gets to call the tune."
The biggest chunk of WB money comes to it from the pockets of US taxpayers. Whatever they want is, by definition, the right thing to do, isn't it?

BioShock 2 - Sea Of Dreams (2010/ENG/RIP by TPTB)
Year: 2010 l Platform: PC l Language: English l Developer: 2K Marin l Publisher: 2K Games l 2.72 GB
Genre: Action (Shooter) / 3D / 1st Person
Set approximately 10 years after the events of the original BioShock, the halls of Rapture once again echo with sins of the past. Along the Atlantic coastline, a monster has been snatching little girls and bringing them back to the undersea city of Rapture. Players step into the boots of the most iconic denizen of Rapture, the Big Daddy, as they travel through the decrepit and beautiful fallen city, chasing an unseen foe in search of answers and their own survival.
Multiplayer in BioShock 2 will provide a rich prequel experience that expands the origins of the BioShock fiction. Set during the fall of Rapture, players assume the role of a Plasmid test subject for Sinclair Solutions, a premier provider of Plasmids and Tonics in the underwater city of Rapture that was first explored in the original BioShock. Players will need to use all the elements of the BioShock toolset to survive, as the full depth of the BioShock experience is refined and transformed into a unique multiplayer experience that can only be found in Rapture.
Game Features:
- Arms and hit. At the core of the game are still a genetic modification, but now you can concentrate in their hands even greater force. Use plasmid and firearms at the same time to obliterate enemies into powder!
- Disruption and greatness. Grand underwater city made famous in the original game, was transformed. Ocean water as a need to work on it, the dome gave a leak, and some areas completely disappeared under the water. Journey through the majestic ruins will be one of the most exciting adventures in your life.
- Starring - Big Daddy. One of the most fearsome inhabitants of Delight is now in your hands. In the first part you reasonably feared Papochek and have applied considerable effort and ingenuity to cope with them. Now, you yourself - one of them.
- Past delight. Collective battles take you to a time when enthusiasm was still alive and flourishing. You will become a member of genetic experiments and be able to fight for control of some of the underwater metropolis.
- Fight for evolution. In the battles with other players, you earn points needed to get new weapons, plasmids and tonics. Fight for your evolution!

Mining boom sparks IT jobs rush
Australia's mining and resources boom is driving demand for IT workers, as new, lucrative tenders see vendors and miners alike start work on new projects. Kordia Solutions Australia snared a flagship coal seam gas tender this week with the AUD$90 million communications services contract from Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG), after …
IT jobs rush?
Green cards more likely.
I've seen an IT job add for Queensland mining offering $35K for 12 hour shifts, FIFO, 44 hour week (pro rata).
And even when FIFO means they pay accomodation at one end (not universal), you still have to own a home full-time for the off shift -- unless you are living in a hotel or N to a room with your contract workmates.
Re: IT jobs rush?
Yep, we keep hearing about the "mining industry job crisis" in the media but there doesn't seem to be a corresponding number of credible job ads.
On top of that there are countless anecdotal stories of people trying to get into the mining industry and getting nowhere.
It's all a moot point now though. With China in slowdown combined with Juliars "there will be no carbon tax under the government I lead" carbon tax starting to bite the mining industry is heading for a crash the likes of which haven't been seen since the late 1980's.

Twisted Tomato is an urbane Italian restaurant in downtown Kelowna, one with a pretty, breezy rooftop patio if you happen to be there at the right time of year. On our dirty punk tour, sleeping on floors and binge drinking for days on end, this was our one fine dining indulgence, the sort of thing that the very foodie Kleins96 would do. Better than strippers or blow, right?
My brother Dylan is a vegetarian who still eats fish and seafood, so we started with a duo of nachos, one set crab for him, the other duck confit. Both were amazing, but the duck was truly the star. The chips themselves I believe were fried wontons, and the chef wisely distributed heaping portions of the ultra-savoury toppings onto only a few chips, which is how all nachos should be in my opinion.
(An aside: there's nothing worse than a giant mountain of burnt, cheese-less tortilla chips posing as nachos, the kind you find at chain restaurants and sports bars that try to wow you with portion sizes. There's like six good bites and the rest gets thrown in the garbage. I'll order a fart souffle before I order nachos from a restaurant with Uncle Moe's shit all over the walls.)
Andrew ordered a pizza of prosciutto, cambozola and pears, which would have been much better had he ordered it thin crust, instead of the big doughy one that the big doughy dude chose instead. Both he and Dylan said they preferred a big thick crust, which I'm chalking up to lifetimes spent on the prairies, being weaned on Western, Houston and 2-4-1 pizzas. Still weird though.
For the main course, I indulged in one of several gourmet mac 'n' cheese options, mine with bacon and several mixed cheeses. Dylan had the lobster mac and it was unreal. Both were very delicious, though heavy like a barrel of sandbags on a hot July day. Our serious food coma required a small dip in the frigid Okanagan to recover our senses and make us alert enough to, well, get drunk all night. Yup, it's a tough life.

It was a major coup, 3 editors, 3 big names in the world of woodworking, leaving Popular Woodworking at the same time and it has really stirred up the woodworking community.
After a few days of speculation, Bob Lang, Chuck Bender, and Glen Huey released an official statement which I posted in the previous blog entry here.
Along with their statement was a tantalizing link to a new website under construction for 360 WoodWorking. This has generated a lot of buzz among the woodworkers. It is obvious the three kings of woodworking have joined forces to start a new website, but what will it offer and what is it's goal and focus?
Well, the obvious answer is that it's focus will be on woodworking and woodworkers are their intended audience. But to get more specific answers, the Modern Woodworkers Association interviewed Bob, Chuck, and Glen in their most recent podcast: Meet 360 Woodworking.
In their interview, the guys share what the goals are for their new venture and what they hope to bring to the woodworkers as they take full advantage of the digital medium and eschew the printed page.
To find out what they have to say, check out the Modern Woodworker's podcast Meet 360 Woodworking. Also be sure to stop by the 360 Woodworking website where you can sign onto their email list. There are also links on the landing page where you can find them on Twitter and Google+ to follow their updates.
I can hardly wait to see what "woodworking information unleashed" looks like:)

I love when we're driving in your car and you hold my hand in yours. I love when we have endless conversations about life, love and everything else in between. I love when we talk about our past with different people, insecurities set aside. I love it more when we talk about our future, together. I love when you turn my frown upside down and wipe my tears away. I love when I ramble on and when all the words are done tumbling out of my mouth you smile and say 'I love listening to you talk'. I love when we're watching serials together in bed and you suddenly say 'You look so cute, just like that'. I love when you kiss my forehead. Most of all, I just love when I'm with you.

It's a very good thing, but it's really fucked up the structure of stars in WWE.
IMO, the Cena model serves for bad business and bad entertainment. "Don't put your eggs in one basket", yet there they went.
To be fair, people have often mentioned that inaways WWE were unfortunate to have a) the "lost generation" in Ken Kennedy, MVP, Bobby Lashley etc that were meant to carry the company for a time but never did, and it left the load on the people of Cena's generation and before, and b) that not only did they not get top stars out of the aforementioned people, they also LOST stars, and quite a significant amount from Jeff Hardy in 2009 to Edge in 2011.
Now we're in a super, super weird situation where WWE as we know it can only function because of part timers, and I don't think we've ever been in that situation before.
It seems that at some point in the past 10 year, WWE has drifted from formulas that worked for over 20 years.
-A bad ass is now a funny guy.
-A muscular build is now an average joe build.
-In-ring skills are now more important than charisma.
-Looking tough is now replaced with lookin like a pretty boy.
Why don't they go back to what was successful in the past?
Actually, they do, and I hate it. You see the pushes that Sheamus and Ryback are currently receiving? Tried and tested; as much as we may hate it it's proven to work so that's why they're persisting. Those things you listed are partly to do with the shift to "family friendly entertainment"

Film from my Vilia. Well, lets see how it turns out. The middle section of the cannister seems to have burnt out, and I can actually see part of the 35mm film. Logic dictates that isn't promising, but regardless I'll still get it developed and see if there's anything that comes out.
For those that have asked: I came across this article, and figured I'd try it out.
Ha. Reckon if I take this into my local, they'll develop it?
