Does anybody at all think Kim's a better candidate than Ngozi?
If you want to get a great feel for the difference between Jim Yong Kim and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, just check out what they've said in public about what they want to do with the presidency of the World Bank.
We live in a time of historic opportunity… We can imagine a world in which billions of people in developing countries enjoy increases in their incomes and living standards… My own life and work have led me to believe that inclusive development – investing in human beings – is an economic and moral imperative… economic growth is vital to generate resources… for change to happen, we need partnerships between governments, the private sector and civil society to build systems that can deliver sustainable, scalable solutions… we must draw on ideas and experience from around the globe… A more responsive World Bank must meet the challenges of the moment but also foresee those of the future. The World Bank serves all countries… I will ensure that the World Bank provides a platform for the exchange of ideas.
And here's just one of Ngozi's answers, in a Q&A with Annie Lowrey:
We need to move faster. The bank has to be quick, nimble and responsive in this global environment. I would like it to be much faster to get aid on the ground, and faster giving policy advice and help to ministers looking for it. I'd look to do things in days and weeks rather than months and years, and I have the bureaucratic knowledge, the knowledge of the institution, to make that happen.
But the premier goal should be helping developing countries with the problem of job creation. In country after country, the single most important challenge is how to create good jobs – in developing countries as well as developed countries. And a big challenge is youth unemployment, which I want to tackle very fast because of the other problems it creates.
There is an opportunity for a demographic dividend for developing countries if they address this issue. In my country, about 70 percent of the citizens are 30 years old or younger, and there are similar demographics in many other developing countries. The rest of the developed world is looking at a gerontocracy, but we're looking at a youth bulge.
The World Bank is the premier institution to support young people, with all of its instruments to create jobs, build infrastructure and invest in human infrastructure. Also, green growth and climate change – that's another issue I see as an opportunity for investment. And the World Bank has the knowledge and financial resources to help.
Okonjo-Iweala knows what the Bank was set up to do, knows what it's capable of, and has a real vision for how it billions can be used to create growth and prosperity around the world and specifically in Africa. Here's how Jagdish Bhagwati puts it:
The Obama administration mistakenly believes that "development" consists of healthcare, microfinance and other such projects, and not the big high-pay-off "macro-level" policies such as trade. The insidious notion that the former constitutes "development economics" and the latter does not is both wrong and glorifies the less important at the expense of the more important…
Dr Okonjo-Iweala will do both "macro" and "micro" projects. But Dr Kim's healthcare expertise comes with an uncritical embrace of the charges against "neoliberalism", betraying susceptibility to the anti-reform, anti-growth rhetoric of the 1990s.
The fact is that Kim, if you take his FT op-ed at face value, seems to be utterly clueless, and mostly interested in distancing himself from the opinions in his book (which was blurbed by Noam Chomsky) on inequality and health. There's certainly no indication that he understands exactly what it is that the Bank is uniquely capable of achieving.
What's more, Kim seems to have no appetite for a contest. Okonjo-Iweala is perfectly willing to say, quite explicitly, why she's a better candidate than Kim. She's not a narrow expert on health, as Kim is; she's expert in many subject areas, from education to agriculture to manufacturing, and also the differences between the world's developing regions. And her experience as Nigeria's economy minister is surely much more germane than Kim's as president of Dartmouth College.
Meanwhile, I've done quite a lot of searching, and asked Treasury to help me out, and so far I've managed to come up with exactly zero endorsements of Kim which explicitly say that he's a better candidate than Ngozi. Even Kim himself hasn't said, as far as I can tell, that he's a better candidate than Ngozi. And he has notably failed to RSVP to the Center for Global Development and the Washington Post, which are running public sessions where the candidates can explain their vision for the bank's future and be questioned by the media and members of the international development community.
Yes, it's true that Okonjo-Iweala is in many ways the "establishment choice" for the job. But that's no reason not to give it to her — quite the opposite. When you're talking about a massive bureaucracy like the World Bank, only an establishmentarian has a chance of being able to steer it, rather than simply being steered by it or completely marginalized.
Conventional wisdom has it that the NYT has endorsed Kim; it hasn't. The editorial is here; while it says nice things about Kim, it concludes by saying that the best outcome for the bank would be a "truly competitive and fully transparent" process for choosing the next president — and everybody knows that in such a process, Okonjo-Iweala would win. Similarly, Todd Moss, in an op-ed headlined "Why Obama Should Keep Control of the World Bank", says quite explicitly that Okonjo-Iweala is "the candidate most qualified for the job"; the main reason for choosing Kim instead is that he will have "access to the corridors of American power".
Does Moss explain why he thinks that Kim will have more access to the corridors of American power than Okonjo-Iweala? Not as far as I can tell. And as an Ngozi observer of many years' standing, I'm quite confident in saying that should she become president of the World Bank, she will have a surprisingly large degree of access to the White House.
It seems to me that it's incumbent on the White House to at the very least attempt to explain why Kim would be better in the job than Okonjo-Iweala. If they can't or won't do that, then they should forfeit their anachronistic droit du seigneur, at least this time around when the alternative is so strong. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is the best candidate for the job, and Barack Obama knows it. He should meet with her, and then do the right thing by freeing up the Bank's board to vote for whomever they think most qualified.

I don't necessarily disagree…except with the part about Kim's rejection of neoliberalism. That should actually be a positive factor, not a negative. I also reject the notion that just because someone is chummy with the insiders and can connect with them, that this is the reason that they are more qualified. How is that rationale any different than the reason that Barack Obama chose Tim Geithner and Rahm? I'm not equating Okonjo-Iweala with Geithner or Rahm, and from what I've read she seems like the most qualified candidate from my uninformed perspective. But the fact that she knows how to maneuver the power channels as reason for her superior qualifications strikes me as missing the fact that The World Bank is in need of reform, new ways of operating and new power channels, not acquiescence to the old. In that respect, the very fact that she is a qualified candidate from a region that has typically been marginalized in its dealings with The World Bank is enough for me…
That being said, isn't it interesting that Felix started off by promoting a CEO of Pepsi for the position, and when a better candidate is put forth, he can't seem to kick him enough. This seems like it might be one of those cases where people might be coming to the same conclusion, but for definitively different reasons. As such, I am kind of curious what led to Felix's sudden epiphany?
Here is my question, if Obama loses in November, where does that leave Kim's "access to the corridors of American power" ?
Here is another question, whats the wisdom of having a fresh non experienced President for the World Bank in addition to existing 3 non-experienced or less experienced managing directors that are there now? does it make sense to have the top 4 managers at the bank all new or with short experience in the organization?
Has anyone asked what Ngozi has been able to achieve for the lot of the poor in her native country where she has roamed the corridors of power for years? Now there is a rally to support her to care for the poor of the entire world? This rally is misguided. People that do nothing when they are in a great position to influence change should not get a chance to advance their mediocrity.. She has not demonstrated any capacity to handle such a post and oratory does not compensate for action! What has she done?
@chicorei, it's a sudden epiphany if by "sudden" you mean five years old: http://www.portfolio.com/views/blogs/mar ket-movers/2007/05/17/ngozi-okonjo-iweal a-for-world-bank-president/
Felix writes that Ngozi is an "expert in many subject areas, from education to agriculture to manufacturing, and also the differences between the world's developing regions", which to me appears to be an oxymoron. More importantly, her statement to Annie Lowrey is also less than convincing. Of course youth unemployment is THE challenge facing both the developed and developing world, you're not a genius if you've discovered that. But she doesn't offer a single cogent policy responsive to that challenge, much less one that's been shown to work. And then she actually goes on to babble about green growth and climate change investment opportunities. Being the Left's mantra, this might be good self-marketing (for the others all they care about is how to maximize US and European financial aid), but how exactly is this the answer to the challenges of the developing world? Reduction of trade barriers, yes; good governance-tied assistance, yes; effective anti-corruption policy, yes; concentration of support to countries which subscribe to and demonstrably encourage economic and other freedom, yes. But please spare us the development babble of the 1970s that has been proven to be counterproductive. None of the existing candidates is a good one. It really doesn't matter who's appointed.
Spot on John411 and Abu66. As MD of the Bank Ngozi had years to champion reforms had she been minded to exert her influence. She didn't. She sat back basking in her elevated position rather than creating waves that would upset the status quo. She's a hypocrite of the first order.
*reads Ash998's comment*
*thinks – "Yes!")
Like it actually matters "When you're talking about a massive bureaucracy like the World Bank" (F.S.) who runs it. It runs for the benefit first-and-always of its own philanthro-poids. "Together" minds support whichever candidate has the greatest likelihood of inflicting mortal damage on the organization.
The statutes of the World Bank indicate that "The Executive Directors shall be responsible for the conduct of the general operations of the Bank, and for this purpose, shall exercise all the powers delegated to them by the Board of Governors"
And so, at the end of the day, it is up to these EDs to decide who of the three candidates might be the best president of the World Bank. And frankly, in a case like this, they should not be able to hide behind the skirt of a "my government told me so"
As an ex ED I do not want to put special pressure on my colleagues but the fact is that it would be good for transparency and the World Bank to see who each one of them will vote for and, something truly great, their reasons why.
I can think of one reason why an Asian is preferable. Asia is the source of most capital in the world these days. Asian countries miight be much less inclined to buy into the World Bank with an African in charge.
You may wish that Asians in Asia think a certain way, but you cannot sprinkle pixie dust and make it so.
The World Bank would need, in the future, to increase its share of resources from the world's primary source of capital, Asia. Clearly having one of their own at the helm would make Asian nations more willing to buy in.
You don't need to sell Africa on the World Bank. They will be happy to receive.
Great post, Felix. I can't help but be worried by the lack of content in Kim's statements, as well as his failure to (so far) RSVP for the Center for Global Development and Washington Post's Q&A.
That said, I think it time to start focusing some of the discussion on what the next World Bank president should do, exactly. (I have some thoughts here: bit.ly/HhBv7I) Ngozi's statements about speeding up disbursement are interesting, but I wonder how she plans on accomplishing this. I'd love for someone with deep knowledge of the Bank, like @PerKurowski to chime in. Or perhaps to make this a topic of a future post.
@FelixSalmon: I stand corrected on using the word "sudden." I guess a better way to have phrased the question is why were you playing up Indra Nooyi (and others) this time around for so long instead of Okonjo-Iweala? Was it just that you didn't think it was possible so why bother? It's a genuine question, absent the snark, since Kim is definitely more qualified than Nooyi…
It could also be a start to illuminate what you think the role of the World Bank actually should be and how it should operate, which is critical to determining who the choice should be That's a larger question which I, at least, have not seen answered by most anyone, including yourself (but perhaps I missed it).
Things have just gotten so far afield of logic and normalcy. So now the correct choice for the world bank presidency is a long time afrikan politician who feels the world bank will succeed or fail on Africa success or failure? How about Nigeria and the entire continent show a few decades of stability and economic growth without endless Euro-American handouts and then we start appointing them to international positions of power. I just dont understand that the whole world can go along with political correctness to the point that to prove something we will appoint an african woman to this position when her country/continent will be recieving (as always) the lions share of cash outlays, endless social program funding, and the endless billions of traditional U.S. foreign aid. The long held P.C. Theology that pouring our tax money into africa will eventually provide us stable allies and trading partners has been proven wrong for decades now, africa's economic health and viability (just as iceland's, or Canada's or 16th century England for that matter) will be decided by their own actions, and since the dawn of recorded time those actions have been overly violent, under educated and contrary to progress as we in the west know it. These ideological wars have been fought in colleges and think tanks and the United Nations for decades and will unfortunately continue, it seems the only Answer that they refuse to find (and the one that logic dictates) is that Africa, and by extension the great majority of Africans, are not capable of performing economically and industrially on their own without extreme Euro-American hands on guidance… ie: rule.
Ya gotta love how Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala tosses the terms 'green growth and climate change' without any context at all. What does that even mean? Nobody knows, but it sure seems to stimulate everyone's erogenous zones!
@Jets 1916. Far less than 2% of Nigeria's total expenditure is aid. We don't all take aid from America.
@Jets1916….its African not 'Afrikan'. See an economically and industrially backward African just corrected your spelling. How does that make you feel?
@Jets1916….its African not 'Afrikan'. See an economically and industrially backward African just corrected your spelling. How does that make you feel?
I apologize for the spelling error. I'm afraid I tend to type fast and my dexterity has always been rather limited. But if thats the only thing you can refute I may have some good points. I would like nothing more than for Africa to be independant and economically viable. Yet it is not and I suppose it hasnt been in many years, since the days of Rhodesia. I certainly did not mean to insult any one, just following a path of logic that is based on facts and history and the belief that if one follows a specific course of action that has the same results time and again than perhaps that result is inevitable and a new course is needed. And certainly many arguments have been made that the tens of billions a year Africa recieves every year from E.U., U.S., and W.B. have done nothing for the average Adrican as the statistics regarding education and poverty have not really changed. The true beneficiaries of this aid are the bloated beauracracies and corrupt governments who are constantly embroiled in scandal. Men like the esteemed President of Zimbabwe, a maniac dictator in a Country with 80% unenployment who forcibly removed white farmers from their homes to "resettle" the land. Until men like that are removed from power and Africa matures and creates their own stable economies and fosters internal industry we will see no real change, just new money following old down into the abyss.
Let me play a single point as mentioned, why hasn't Jim Kim replied to the CGD/WPost interview-audience discussion? Instead, he, with the support of State and Treasury, is touring the world, asking for support. Sounds like the old agenda doesn't it?
Nogzi has failures. It may apply that she's also a neoliberal–she stated that she hates that word. Well, Obama is also a neoliberal.
The point is, do you want transparent global economic governance institution or the same old game? And if you want the same old game, why hasn't your candidate at least talked?
I was suggested this website by my cousin. I'm not sure whether this post is written by him as nobody else know such detailed about my problem. You are incredible! Thanks!

Shopping sting trial: Judge gives defense time to research law
"To be honest, I don't even want to pick up a quarter that's laying on the ground," Alexander Ramasci testified during an afternoon trial in Manchester District Court.
It will be at least three weeks before the judge issues a verdict.
Manchester police arrested Ramasci in early December, after he found a DVD player and a purse in an unattended shopping cart at the T.J. Maxx plaza on South Willow Street, put it in his car trunk and left.
"It was an early Christmas present for him. He just came upon this lost merchandise and wanted to take it home," prosecutor Rose Marie Balboni said in summing up the case.
But Ramasci's lawyer said his client planned to bring the items home, find an identification and track the owner, as his mother did when he found a wallet as a child.
"This is insane that we're setting people up to find things and not even giving them a reasonable amount of time to bring it home," said Joseph Kelly Levasseur.
Ramasci is charged with theft of lost or mislaid property. In a move unusual for a district court, Judge William Lyons gave Balboni and Levasseur 20 days to research the law on two legal issues.
One is what is a reasonable measure to take in returning property to its rightful owner. The other is the concept of legal impossibility. In doing so, Lyons appears to be paying heed to Levasseur's claim that the property wasn't lost because its owner, the Manchester Police Department, knew where it was.
During the trial, Lyons had to rein in Levasseur, who as an alderman has drawn the ire of police for his public references to a 2010 bar fight at the Strange Brew Tavern involving police.
"We're not here to try the police; we're here to try the defendant," Lyons said, after Levasseur questioned whether police knew the details of the law they had charged Ramasci with.
In testimony, police and Ramasci differed on several issues.
Ramasci said there were few available parking spots when he pulled up next to the shopping cart.
He said he didn't rummage through the purse, for fear someone would think he was a thief. He waited around a couple of minutes, then put the items in his trunk.
He went into Game Stop, returned to his car, left, and was pulled over.
He said detectives frisked him and started to accuse him of selling drugs. Detectives never spoke about the purse until they arrested him, he said.
"I was so thrown off guard by them accusing me of selling drugs, it never popped into my head," he said when asked why he didn't tell police about the purse.
In his testimony, Detective Michael Donahue said the parking lot had many available spaces when Ramasci pulled in about 7 p.m. on Dec. 3.
He said the young man pulled up to the shopping cart, rolled down his car window, rummaged through the purse, then pulled forward, parked the car, looked around, stashed the purse and merchandise in his trunk, went into Game Stop, returned to his car and took off.
When pulled over, he never spoke to the uniformed officer about the purse. And when detectives asked Ramasci about "suspicious activity" in the parking lot, Ramasci said he knew nothing. Donahue said he used a ruse about drug activity.
Balboni said Ramasci's many actions - putting the items in the trunk rather than the front seat, not telling people at Game Stop about his find, and not mentioning the purse when police pulled him over - show his guilt.
"A normal person who doesn't intend to steal things has a different reaction," Donahue said.
Lyons said he thinks no New Hampshire court cases have addressed the issue of reasonableness in theft charges, so he urged the lawyers to look to case law in other states. He said New Hampshire law may have some cases that deal with legal impossibility.
Ramasci was told not to show up to his part-time job at the Hooksett state liquor store after his arrest.
He said Monday he's been unable to get a job.

Born: August 1, 1978
With his fifth album as a leader, Los Angeles-based pianist- composer-arranger Josh Nelson continues to broaden his scope with a fresh and wholly personal take on the jazz tradition. Brimming with stimulating ideas and chock-full of sterling solos from his very capable crew of trumpeter Dontae Winslow, trombonist Alan Ferber, bass clarinetist Bran Walsh, guitarist Larry Koonse, bassist Dave Robaire and drummer Dan Schnelle, Discoveries sets the bar higher than Nelson's previous acclaimed outings—2007's Let It Go and 2009's I Hear A Rhapsody.
Already an accomplished pianist (he was a 2006 Thelonious Monk Competition semi-finalist), Nelson is emerging as a promising composer-arranger on the West Coast scene. And while his solo piano meditations on Discoveries may invite comparisons to Brad Mehldau and Ethan Iverson, his writing throughout this ambitious release ranks alongside the work of such East Coast counterparts as Darcy James Argue and John Hollenbeck. A great admirer of composer-arrangers like Maria Schneider and Bob Brookmeyer, Nelson aspires to that lofty level with some very thoughtful and evocative writing on Discoveries....

Constitutional Law
Poor mr. smith. It's tough being so much smarter than the other kids on the playground . . .
You know, I realize that we want to be all high and stodgy, but even in Baseball, Lou Pinella only got 5 games, and those guys make salaries that make them laugh at the law as a profession. Maybe we ought to consider that it's time to rethink the way that judges and jurists think of themselves, or at least don't put force behind them when someone busts a crack like this one.
I'm really shocked that MWE did not terminate him from the firm. If MWE's chairman truly thought that Smith's comment was unprofessional and unacceptable", he would have been asked to leave. I doubt Smith would have made that comment to a male judge. What a black eye to MWE.
He said it Florida? Yawn. Who cares.
If you read the transcript, the judge had to strain (mildly) to take the comment as directed to her personally ("she's a few frys short") rather than the logic behind her ruling ("its a few frys short"). Part God complex, part lawyer scr*w up (what judge doesn't personalize when they can).
Old Billy is a fool – his post assumes that compensation governs all else. We are a nation of laws, not men, you clown.
As Just Ambiguous points out, if you look at the transcript it's pretty obvious that this comment wasn't directed at the judge herself.
Whether you think it is sanctionable or not, how can anyone say that the comment "With all due respect, YOU'RE a few french fries short of a Happy Meal" was not directed a the judge personally? Even if he had said "the conclusion you have reached is a few french fries…etc., etc.", the statement is still obviously directed at the judge's judgment, i.e., still personal. The OSC may appear to be an overreaction, but I would be willing to bet you anything that if we had been in court time for all the hearings in this case, we would have seen that this particular attorney had a pattern of being condescending and snide to the judge, and just finally had the hubris to use words that were clearly sanctionable, as opposed to ambiguous on a dry transcript.
Word from his MWE colleagues is that he inartfully phrased what he meant – which was to imply that the process was incomplete and the judge did not have enough information to determine that the transaction would close. Likely or not, it can reasonably be interpreted that way. If so, then this guy has been more than sufficiently punished.
If indeed the judge is a few fries short of a happy meal, she may be the perfect candidate to become the Florida chair of the Bloomberg (Ban those trans-fats!) for President campaign.
By reading it in context?
Is he going to apologize to the Happy Meal to which he made the unflattering comparison?
Bad statement by lawyer, regardless of whether its "it" or "you're".
But, lets be honest. Many bankruptcy judges are a bit insecure knowing both the bar and the rest of the federal bench look down on them. That's exacerbated when the judge is dealing with a big firm like McDermott (which, conversely, should be sensitive to that feeling as well).
I think the judge overreacted in a way that a district judge likely would not have. A simple warning, or even a contempt fine, would have been more appropriate than threatening to revoke his right to practice in that court.
What about Judges who use the same tone and language with lawyers? How do they get sanctioned?
The MWE lawyer should just be happy this wasn't in the Eastern District of Virginia.
Congress obviously thought that all that was necessary for the prompt vindication of the dignity and authority of the court was to empower the court to punish summarily: (1) Misbehavior, causing a disturbance of which the judge holding the court was conscious and could perceive through his senses, in the immediate presence of the court, or so near thereto as to prevent the court from duly proceeding in the administration of justice; In this class of cases this entire departure from the fundamental law of the land in relation to criminal proceedings is based alone on necessity, and should be carried not a step further than is necessary. SAVIN, 9 Supreme Court. 699, 131 U.S. 267 (U.S. 05/13/1889)
So the Supreme Court has already directed the judiciary to use summary procedure not a step further than is necessary. So, even if the lawyer's or litigant's comment was somewhat disrespectful, or could be construed in that manner, was such a severe sanction "necessary"?
Why doesn't the federal judiciary offer classes with trainers for judges and litigants in "improving communication" "handling stress in the courtroom" "resolving problems before they escalate"
"maintaining respectful and professional atmosphere" etc. They could have role playing exercises. The state court systems have some sensitivity training courses for state judges. I think the judiciary should use alll the modern management tools available. This is a problem that could have been diverted and it a distraction away from a decision on the merits, I think. I think that a portion of the filing fees could be ear-marked for classes that would improve use of the system by everyone and that they should have exit interviews.
My understanding is that Ronald MacDonald and the MacDonald's corporation are planning to sue this Attorney Smith for defamation of their franchise.
It is a well established fact that every Happy Meal has more IQ points than the entire Florida judiciary and all of their descendents combined. Further, a Happy Meal is more fun, more attractive, always more welcome at a party or anyone's home, is loved by children, and is NEVER incompetent, lazy, or corrupt in any way.
Each french fry in a Happy Meal would clearly be a better jurist than the average Whopper-gorgin Florida judge.
I rest my case.
My own take (since my trackback doesn't seem to be getting through) is here:
My own take (since my trackback doesn't seem to be getting through) is here:
She was WAY, WAY, WAY overreacting, and his incredible groveling gave her actions more credibility than they deserved. Plus, taking a recess before she ruled to add to the drama was just completely over the top.
She sounds as starved for attention as the Florida probate judge who did the Anna Nicole hearings.
On the plus side: she ain't bad-looking for her age.
I think the key to the judge's reaction is that this was an out of town bigshot (head of the bankruptcy practice of a big international firm, wow I'm supposed to be impressed?) who didn't think he had to mind his manners while on the road. I've seen reactions like this here in Calif. when a NY lawyer shows up and talks down to the judge. They take offense at that (and the client is certainly disserved).
I also wonder what Mr. Smith had for lunch before that hearing (and I don't mean food).
If you read the entire two pages of the transcript you'll see that Smith did more than just phrase one statement "inartfully" — he jetted in from out of town and cross-examined the judge about an order she'd already entered.
I though clients paid lawyers to argue for a judge to rule in their favor, not to argue WITH the judge.
I say fry him!

Hunger Point
Obsessed with the belief that a slender figure is the most important thing on earth, domineering mother Marsha Hunter (Barbara Hershey) forces her two daughters Frannie (Christina Hendricks) and Shelly (Susan May Pratt) to adhere to rigid diets and exercise regimens. Any extra poundage is subject to cruel ridicule by the manic Marsha, while her passive husband (John Getz), as cowed by his wife as everyone else, offers no comfort or solace for his beleaguered daughters. Marsha's well-meaning but tragically short-sided view of feminine attractiveness drives one daughter into a mental hospital with a psychosomatic eating disorder and the other into a desperate act of self-destruction. Based on a novel by Jillian Medoff, the made-for-cable Hunger Point premiered January 13, 2003, on the Lifetime network.

There wouldn't be a problem at all if Buzzkunst wasn't such a maddeningly forgettable record. I won't deny tapping my toes to "Deeper" and "Wednesday's Emotional Setup", among others, but ten minutes after the disc finished playing, the only thing I could remember about Buzzkunst was Devoto's unmistakable vocals. Perhaps if the music sounded as unique as he does, this would be a better match, but there's nothing particularly idiosyncratic about these tunes; they could be Bis songs, or White Zombie songs, or even Melissa Etheridge songs, with little or no adjustment. As it stands, then, Buzzkunst is a profound and bewildering disappointment -- musical tofu with an impeccable pedigree.

WOW! I am beyond impressed with this mascara! I am a little mascara snob but since I rarely use waterproof, I decided to purchase a drugstore brand for a recent cruise I went on. The mascara thickened, lengthened and was jet black! it was love at first stroke. I always wear falsies and this mascara did a great job of making my eyes pop and the curl was on point! I did curl my lashes after the mascara dried. One thing is, this mascara is sooo hard to remove but that is why its waterproof. I went swimming in the ocean, pool and I was in a hot and humid area and it did not disappoint. Highly recommended!
I am in love with this mascara! I bought it about a week ago and it's amazing. My eyelashes aren't especially short or sparse but they are incredibly straight, as in they have never, ever held a curl. With my last mascara (Benefits They're Real! believe it or not), I would heat my eyelash curler, curl my lashes, apply the mascara, wait for it to dry, and then heat the curler and curl them again. And even that didn't last very long or look very impressive. But this has made a world of difference. I still heat my curler but once I apply this mascara, my lashes stay beautifully curled. It also adds a decent amount of length and volume in my opinion but of course it doesn't actually make your lashes look like you're wearing falsies. But overall, I'd say this is a great mascara (especially for the price) and I will definitely be purchasing it again. The only negative thing I have to say is that it is INCREDIBLY hard to remove but since it's waterproof, it should be.

I recently got this mascara because my waterproof maybelline full n soft dried up. I do like this mascara as it keeps my lashes curled and doesn't smudge or flake on me. However, like many other waterproof mascaras it is incredibly hard to get off, even with eye makeup remover.
I really like this line of mascaras. All of them, or at least the waterproof.
I like that this one seems to make my lashes a bit longer looking than the flared version. I do not know what it is but they seem a but more lengthened, and flirty looking. With the flared I get more depth and volume.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have used this mascara many times and can honestly say it sucks. I have pretty long lashes but they are as straight as they can get. I have really been on a hunt to find a mascara that will hold my curl and not kill it. This mascara just doesn't do that for me. I will curl my lashes and as soon as this mascara touches my lashes, it's as if i never even curled them!! So annoying. The only good thing I can say about this mascara is it's very dark and I like that but I would not repurchase this again. Will keep looking..
I am definitely in the minority of people who don't like this mascara, but for me it completely drops my curl and clumps my lashes together. I have pretty long, lush lashes and it manages to make me look like I have five sticks for eyelashes. Do not recommend for girls who need a mascara to hold their curl all day.
Recently I've been on a hunt for my "holy grail" drugstore mascara, which lead me to do lots of research and watch a lot of reviews on different ones. I bought Covergirl's Clump Crusher mascara and loved it (although I wanted one that was actually waterproof) and I used up the whole tube. Since I had already formed an opinion on Clump Crusher, I thought I'd give this one a try. I have a love-hate relationship with this mascara. At first, I thought this mascara was amazing (I bought it in the black-brown shade), it gave me the water resistance that clump crusher lacked, but after a while of using this product, I discovered many flaws in it. so let me just recap for you;
Lots of volume
Provides Length
Can be very dramatic, depending on how many layers you put on
Lasts all day
Impossible to wash off (I appreciate the waterproof-ness of this product, but really? It required soo much scrubbing and made eyelashes fall out ):
Doesn't exactly hold a curl well
All in all this product didn't exactly give me the illusion of "falsies" but it lived up to it's waterproof claim. Although this is not my "holy grail" drugstore mascara, I would repurchase this again to put on top of another mascara for its volume, but not as a stand-alone mascara.
Love! I have been using this for years and will continue to rebuy. Can't beat the price and quality. It makes my lashes full and long. I love the curved brush. I wear it in the darkest black.
RACOON EYES!! This mascara gave me racoon eyes within 2 hours, and full on panda eyes after 7 hours. Meant to be waterproof, but I am not impressed. Save your money folks

It was all my fault.
I had come to the conclusion that if I had done "X" and said "Y" he would have never broken up with me. Little did I think about the fact that he told me I was still amazing and he cared a lot about me meant anything. Nope, the only thing I could think of was that we weren't "us" anymore.
I couldn't stop thinking about how every word, every text, every kiss, every heartfelt embrace was a lie and it was my fault. I was not good enough. No matter what others said, no matter how many times I played it over and over again in my head I couldn't get out the fact that it took 28 years of my life for someone to step up and be with me, but now, now he didn't want me anymore.
It's devastating to have someone break up with you. I will never ever play that moment down. And sadly, even when it really isn't you, it's the other person; there are forces around you, within you that will play with your heart and mind and convince you that you are not enough, even when it was the best decision; at least at the time.
It took a lot of months and I still struggle with it, that feeling of unworthiness. I joked around with my best friend a few weeks ago about a guy that I thought was really attractive and whom I thought would be interesting to get to know better. After being all girly for a couple emails I got really honest and told her that actually, I hope he turns out to be a jerk, because if he's a jerk I don't have to put myself out there again and trust someone with my heart.
All relationships are different and they all end for different reasons. However, the ones that last, the really good ones, they all last for the same reason. They last because both people not only realize that the other person is so worth loving, that no matter what, you choose to be with that person, through good or bad, personality differences or bad habits, but also because you realize that you are SO WORTH LOVING.
It's going to take time.
For some it may mean not watching romantic comedies, or not spending hours pinning love quotes on Pinterest. It might mean blocking yourself from ANYTHING that has to do with the person who broke your heart. For others it might mean a night or many nights out with the guys doing things that this girl can't imagine because, well I'm a girl and my way of dealing is different. It might be that you go to the gym, work out more, take better care of yourself and put some work into you.
All I will say is that at some point you're going to need to forget the person who once valued you. And I promise you, they valued you. The words were not a lie. The kisses and warm embraces were because they desired you. All the plans were meant for you. Something just happened. They might not be ready, you might not be the girl or guy who will be the best in their lives…I don't know. Just remember that it will get better. It will stop hurting but you need to choose, just like you chose to love them you now need to choose to love yourself and know the value that is inherent in you, as a human, a valued life.
And then, one day…you'll meet the person who not only understands your value but knows that through the trials of life, the changes in season, the celebrations, the tears, fears and even the piles of laundry you will have to do, that you are worth being cherished…and they will be so grateful because you know you are so worth loving.
And frankly, man or woman…the most attractive quality in a person is someone who understands who they are.

Diabetes Health Center
Some Diabetics Drive When Blood Sugar Is Dangerously Low
Margaret Himelfarb, a board member of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation International and the mother of a son with diabetes, adds two more reasons: the fact that people with low blood sugar have some impairment in their thinking ability or that they may have misunderstood the question asked in the study.
"The one thing that I don't see [in the study] is whether or not they might have expected that they would have a snack and then get behind the wheel," she says. "It is so obvious to them, such a part of their lives. ... It is conceivable they may have misunderstood the directive."
Clarke concedes that misunderstanding may be a possibility, but he considers it unlikely that so many of the people studied would have made the same mistake. "I don't think the numbers would bear that out," he says. "All of us physicians wish that our patients would make good decisions, ... and it is our responsibility to review with them the many things that could be dangerous in their lives and help them to be safer."
"Although the statistics from a variety of sources ... can't ... show that there are more accidents among people with type 1 diabetes, there is most likely a tremendous amount of underreporting of automobile accidents by people with type 1 diabetes," says Clarke. "I mean, you just wouldn't announce 'Oh, I have diabetes,' if you wrecked a car."
"It is important to note, as [the researchers] have, that there has never been any evidence that people with type 1 diabetes have higher accident rates, because I think that is the first conclusion that people are likely to draw," says Himelfarb.
The researchers stress the importance of counseling type 1 diabetics on the risks associated with low blood sugar and driving, and they suggest that diabetics test their blood sugar level before driving.
"One other thing the article mentions is the importance of carrying some form of glucose with you; that way, you always have something in the car so that ... you can immediately treat yourself," says Himelfarb. "It doesn't hurt to throw in another [test] before you get in the car -- obviously that is a great inconvenience, but it is important to do and make sure your blood sugar is where you want it to be. People who manage their diabetes well can do everything anyone else can with no greater risk. The key thing is testing blood glucose and keeping it within normal limits. It's important not only for driving but to prevent all the complications that go with diabetes."
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

A presidential candidate thinks the US can grow its economy by 5 percent in a decade, and a professor has come up with a plan for it. The plan isn't impossible, but it's still not very realistic.
Jim Cole / AP
Last week, I argued that Governor Tim Pawlenty's aspiration for 5% economic growth over a full decade is implausible since the United States has achieved such steady growth only once since World War II.
Over at Economics One, Stanford economics professor John Taylor offers a more positive take, defending the goal and offering a recipe for achieving it: 1% from population growth, 1% from employment growing faster than the population, and 2.7% from productivity growth.
Add it all up and you get 4.7% growth, a bit short of Pawlenty's target but close enough for government work.
That sounds great, and I hope it happens, regardless of who is president. But let's take a moment to kick the tires on Taylor's assumptions.
Two seem fine:

Maya Healing Ways, a Limpia Ceremony with indigenous wisdom-holder Ohki Siminé Forest
Ticket Info
Admission: $35
An essential teaching on the importance of periodic purification as a rite of passage in our lives through an honoring of Deer spirit to help reveal our inner powers of regeneration and health. Deer ways offer a unique medicine for the Heart to heal the spiritual roots of soul losses, afflictions and illnesses. Traditional Limpia ceremonies offer thorough cleansing, restore health, clear our dream bodies from negativity and harmonize our environment. Done with sacred herbs and candles, this powerful and beautiful Maya ceremony involves the creation of a special altar dedicated to Deer as a renewed spirit of the spring. Bring a sacred object to place on the altar for blessings.
• On this Earth Day, experience a Maya Limpia to clear impurities of your physical, emotional and spiritual bodies

• Journey to the waterfall of Deer for a deep regeneration of your inner source
• Drum with Ohki to the waters of Earth for invoking the world healing of this precious sister element
Of Canadian Mohawk descent, Ohki S. Forest has shared the Red Lodge shamanism of her life with students and apprentices in North America for over 30 years. The matrifocal shamanism she teaches is based in her training and initiations with Maya, Mongolian and Canadian shamans and in her dedication to the restitution of indigenous peoples as wisdom leaders through the return of ancient Council Ways. She is author of Dreaming the Council Ways: True Native Teachings from the Red Lodge, and a contributor to Original Instructions: Indigenous Teachings for a Sustainable Future, which includes essays from John Mohawk, Paula Gunn Allen, Winona LaDuke, John Trudell & Oren Lyons. Her teaching circles are unique opportunities to engage in individual and transpersonal shamanic healing with a delightful and rare indigenous woman teacher.

SATURDAY, Nov. 26 (HealthDay News) -- Exercise is meant to help
prevent injuries in firefighters, but these workers are more likely
to be injured while working out than while combating fires,
according to a new study.
The researchers also found that injuries suffered while
transporting patients are the leading cause of time off work for
The study examined injuries reported between 2004 and 2009 among
650 firefighters, paramedics, engineers, inspectors and battalion
chiefs while at work at 21 fire stations in Tucson, Arizona. Their
average age was 41, and 95 percent were males.
The average yearly incidence of new injuries was 17.7 per 100
employees, and most of the injuries occurred to those in their 30s
and 40s. Exercise-related injuries accounted for one-third of the
total, 17 percent occurred while transporting patients, and about
10 percent occurred during training drills, the investigators
Sprains and strains accounted for between 40 and 85 percent of
injuries, followed by cuts and bruising. Most (95 percent) of the
injuries were minor. Only 10 percent of injuries occurred during
firefighting, but a higher percentage of these were serious.
Strains and sprains suffered while transporting patients
accounted for nearly half of the injury-related time taken off
work, according to the report published online Nov. 23 in the
Injury Prevention.
Firefighting and emergency medical services combined have one of
the highest workplace injury and death rates in the United States,
study author Gerald Poplin, of the epidemiology and biostatistics
division at the University of Arizona in Tucson, and colleagues
pointed out in a journal news release.

A National Fire Protection Association report says
firefighter injuries have declined since 2009.

As Chief Judge Alex Kozinski recently wrote, "There is an epidemic of Brady violations abroad in the land. Only judges can put a stop to it."
But judges need to know about prosecutorial misconduct in order to do anything about it. The public needs to be made aware of this important issue as well.
Last week, I interviewed Sidney Powell, a former federal prosecutor who has written a new book — a book that pulls no punches when it comes to her former colleagues at the U.S. Department of Justice….

2010-2011 Undergraduate Research in Nutrition and Food Science
Stephanie Fawbush
As American teenagers make their way to college campuses, many are aware of gaining the dreaded "freshman fifteen." Along with the gaining of weight in their college years, many students also begin to increase their alcohol intake upon entrance into a university. It becomes commonplace to drink to get drunk on the weekends in college, pumping the body with alcohol and many empty calories. The relationship between the consumption of alcohol and weight gain was examined in 200 undergraduate students at the University of Kentucky. The participants included 137 females (age 19.99 ± 1.44 years) and 63 males (age 20.87 ± 1.43 years). The participants completed surveys with questions pertaining to alcohol consumption, weight, eating behaviors, and exercise behaviors. Out of the 200 students surveyed 77% of students reported consuming alcohol on a weekly basis, with the average amount of alcohol consumed being about 3-4 drinks per week. The average body mass index (BMI) of college students was increased from high school to college (22.61 ± 3.83 kg/ and 23.26 ± 3.67 kg/ ; p-value=0.08). Students who were infrequent drinkers (averaged 2 or less drinks per week) had a BMI increase of 0.63 kg/ (p-value=0.09) while in college while those who were frequent drinkers (averaged 3 or more drinks per week) had a BMI increase of 0.70 kg/ (p-value=0.19) while in college. While weight gain was apparent from high school to college, however results were not statistically significant. This research is important because it can help to target a different reason for weight gain in college students.

electronic recycling,
Basel Action Network,
Jim Puckett,
Sean Davidson
NEW YORK Developing nations have successfully fought off certain Basel Convention policy changes aimed at regulating shipments of electronic recycling products to their countries.
Several countries rejected a move by electronic equipment makers represented by the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) and developed regions, such as the European Union and North America, "to create loopholes that would allow repairable electronic waste to be exempt from the international Basel Convention hazardous waste trade control procedures," Seattle-based environmental advocacy group Basel Action Network (BAN) said May 8.
"Developing countries cannot control the junk electronic computers, faxes, printers and TVs flooding into their countries from North America and Europe, all in the name of helping the poor and bridging the digital divide, " BAN executive director Jim Puckett said. "Industrial countries are treating the rest of the world as a digital dump. It is no wonder developing countries do not appreciate industry proposals to make matters worse."
According to the failed draft guideline, put forth this past week at the 11th Conference of the Parties to the Basel Convention in Geneva, any used equipment not tested and functional would be considered waste. If found to contain hazardous substances, Basel Convention control procedures would have been triggered, requiring thatat a minimumimporting countries be notified of all exports of hazardous electronic waste and provide consent prior to shipment. Industrialized countries wouldnt agree to the proposal if it didnt include exemptions for equipment destined for repair.
"Industry had argued that without lifting the established hazardous waste trade controls, reuse of used equipment would be inhibited. But they failed to explain how they would prevent a disproportionate burden of the worlds toxic hardware from being transferred to developing countries when toxic parts were discarded, and how they would prevent this repair claim from being used by any and every trader to justify dumping," BAN said.
While electronics repair is good, it "can generate wastes when parts are replaced. And without controls, anyone can always make a claim that anything is repairable no matter what the intention," Puckett said. "Thus, in no way can we just blow kisses and say bon voyage to shipments of e-waste, based on empty repair promises. We still need the international rules (of) the Basel Convention."
It would be better for the environment if manufacturers tried to create nontoxic components, BAN said.
