Our Story
Excited about its potential, they both went to work. They immediately sought out successful people to learn from, hoping to avoid the pitfalls of trial and error. They did! They found someone that had broken just about every record in the Direct Sales industry. They were quick studies, and now have a combined 35 years of experience. Using their applied knowledge, Paul & Stacey have not only been top distributors in two other companies, but have used their training to create multi-million dollar businesses outside the industry.
In 2008 Paul & Stacey took the concept of in-home gold parties and founded a company that, within 12 months, dominated the industry in the U.S., Canada & Puerto Rico and is still thriving today. But Paul and Stacey weren't done sharing their knowledge and expertise. They have always had a desire to build a Cooperative Marketing company that would go above and beyond, focusing on the key areas of
Paul & Stacey have now done just that! Our Hearts Desire is an unprecedented opportunity that has been 20 years in the making. A company that will always be moving forward with the knowledge that the world changes every day. Our Hearts Desire will change and adapt to the desires of customers, consultants and working with their top leaders who understand what it means to work as a team. They have put together The Opportunity Of A Lifetime for anyone who has the desire to get more out of life!

They are committed to giving you the tools you need to fulfill that desire. Your goal may be to make a larger income and still be able to spend time with your family, or just save a little extra for your retirement. No matter what your goal is you can achieve it with a company that truly cares about their consultants success, because ultimately, they know while they may own the company they are consultants just like you. the only difference is time and the work they have put in.
Raised in Saint Louis, Missouri, Stacey was instilled with mid-western values. She grew up always wanting to be a business owner. After receiving a Bachelor's Degree in Business, Stacey realized starting a business of her own took money and experience she didn't have and she quickly became disillusioned with the corporate world.
Paul was born in Fort Worth, Texas. He was adopted at a very young age by incredible parents and early on, was instilled with a desire to help others. While Stacey was a great student and was able to grasp the concept of getting good grades, Paul took a different path. After high school and a brief attempt at college, Paul ended up waiting tables at a prestigious country club in the heart of Texas. This is where Paul discovered wealth and success made a decision that some day, he would be able to afford a country club membership, instead of simply working for one.
Fortunately, Paul & Stacey were introduced to the Direct Sales industry.

"Wow was this GREAT! I was heavy handed with the cheese (mix of swiss & mozzarella) so I thinned the sauce with some chicken stock. I didn't use mushrooms as I had none on hand and used celery flakes instead of real celery. I used a store roasted chicken and deli ham. So easy and delicious!"
"Delicious! When I bake a pie, I bake the crust while cooking the filling on the stove. An elderly friend makes pies this way for her family so the sweetness is always perfect as she can taste while cooking! After the crust cools and the filling is just right, pour the filling into the crust and a crisp crust with perfectly sweetened filling awaits..."

"In a flat country, a hillock thinks itself a mountain" Proverb from Turkey Friends, let's knock the hillocks of life to the ground. And let's do it with Turkish food. This week, I created a fun party menu - a Turkish meal that can be enjoyed on a balmy summer evening, under starlight, with a few close friends and family. It'll inspire laughter, some much needed spice, and full hearts. After all, isn't that what we all need? A little time to chill out with our loved ones, and get some … [Read more...]
Menu: Tunisia
"If the full moon loves you, why worry about the stars?" Tunisian Proverb I never thought I'd compare tuna fish to the beautiful moon. But here we are. This week, there were so many beautiful recipes to choose from; I had a hard time choosing what best represented Tunisia. But then I read the proverb posted above, and realized maybe it was more important to showcase what made my stomach crawl. So I scanned the dozens of recipes for two dishes that could make my stomach growl. The … [Read more...]
Menu: Trinidad and Tobago
Keith and I just celebrated five years of marriage. There's an old saying from Trinidad and Tobago that sums up the depths to which I love this man: There's more in the mortar than the pestle. In other words, there's more to this man than meets the eye. He's not just a pair of jaw dropping hazel eyes. He's not just the funny one. He's sure. Stable. All things committed. And I'm so lucky to have him. What better way to celebrate my husband than two of his favorite things? Spicy food and … [Read more...]
Menu: Tonga
Apparently the fine people of Tonga have quite the sweet tooth. Whether it's the coconut caramel sauce (which they put on everything from boiled taro to dumplings), or the watermelon chiller, Tonga serves up sweetness in all they do. I for one can appreciate the natural sweetness, especially in the drink. Try the sweet potatoes as a snack or on the side of grilled meats. The drink is great any time of day, but is a perfect alternative to punch or lemonade at your next gathering. Oh, and, yay … [Read more...]
Menu: Togo
The last three people I've told that I'm cooking Togo have asked me what kind of food Togo is, not realizing Togo is a small west African country. So, friends, let's learn together. Let's put the Togolese spirit on our tables... along with a bit of their food. We'll get to the menu we selected in a moment. First, let's discuss the 'spirit' part of the meal. This week, I sought out some inspirational words from Togo. I had no choice. I've been feeling overwhelmed lately. For starters, I'll … [Read more...]
Menu: Thailand
"Friends for a meal are easy to find, friends until end of life are difficult to find" (Thai Proverb) Summer is the time of easy friendships, where the only things that matter are cold drinks, fresh food, and a patch of shade. Dinnertime is less strict, and I find myself veering towards later, lighter meals. Like this one. So now all you need is to find someone to share it with (P.S. Speaking of which, I can't decide if that Thai proverb is encouraging or discouraging, but there's one thing I … [Read more...]
Menu: Tanzania
"The roaring lion kills no game" Tanzanian Proverb In honor of this all-too true saying from Tanzania, we're going all veggie this week. Truth is, I've been doing my fair share of 'roaring', which leaves me with a deficit of time for anything but quick (but fun!) dishes. Veggies fit the bill rather perfectly. In fact, our menu feels like a bulletin from Smokey the Bear, but without fires... and lots of veggies... "Thanks to Tanzania, you, too, can prevent veggie boredom!" Whether you're … [Read more...]
Menu: Tajikistan
This week's theme is community and reunion. We spent the last ten days visiting my family, some of whom I haven't seen in nearly three years.

I have a low temp glue gun, but it is an older one. It takes the large oval glue sticks which they no longer make. I've got somewhere around 15-20 glue sticks left to use.

Even with its potent running game stalled, Pinnacle found a way to win in Friday's home clash with Anthem Boulder Creek.
The No. 5-ranked team in Division I's power ranking seedings, the Pioneers earned a 27-7 victory.
Special teams, big plays in the passing game, and a standout performance from the defense more than made up for the Jaguars' stifling of Pinnacle's 1,000-yard rusher, Josh Hoekstra.
Senior captain Evan Tompkins blocked a field goal, then picked up the loose ball and ran 85 yards for the game's first score. Another senior captain, quarterback Michael Sanders, hooked up twice with sophomore wide receiver Cules Rose for scores of 34 and 25 yards, respectively.
The defense got two interceptions from Michael Harlan, held the Jags to negative rushing yards and put constant pressure on freshman quarterback Gunther Johnson.
"We've been a good running team, but not tonight," said Pinnacle coach Dana Zupke. "Boulder Creek gets credit for that. We didn't give up a lot and we relied on some big plays."
On its second drive of the night, Boulder Creek (5-3) had moved to the Pinnacle 6. On fourth down, Dom Perna came in for a 23-yard field goal attempt, but Tompkins rushed in from the left end to block the attempt, pick up the ball after a couple bounces and sprint the rest of the way to a 6-0 Pioneers lead.
"Our coaches had identified a weakness and designed something for us to try and make a play," said Tompkins. "It's a huge momentum shift when you can have big special teams plays. I got lucky and made a play."
Sanders and Rose made a couple big plays, too.
After converting on a fourth down from the Boulder Creek 45, Sanders hit a wide-open Rose with a 34-yard strike on the first play of the second quarter.
The two hooked up again from 25 yards out with only 17.6 seconds left until halftime for a 20-0 advantage. Pinnacle (7-1) got the ball with 1:14 left at the Boulder Creek 48. Sanders went 4-for-4 on the drive hitting four different receivers, including Daniel Galindo, Harlan, Hoekstra and Rose.
A defensive statement was best made during the first series of the second half. With Boulder Creek starting at its own 20, the Pioneers stuffed the Jaguars running game with a three-and-out with running plays of minus-4, minus-4 and minus-7 yards, respectively.
Boulder Creek had to punt from its own end zone. Pinnacle started the next possession from the Jaguars' 43 and took a 27-0 lead on a Hoekstra 1-yard run with 5:33 left in the third.
Hoekstra, who came into the game with 1,109 yards and a 9.1 rush per carry average, had just 43 yards on 13 attempts. Pinnacle averages 284.1 rushing yards per game and had only 28, with the inclusion of negative yards from Sanders' sacks, Friday.
Sanders did his work through the air as he completed 17 of 22 passes for 224 yards.
Pinnacle's defense gave up only one big play. Johnson connected with Isaiah Huston, who out-ran most of the Pioneer defense for a 69-yard gain. Three plays later, Johnson hit Dan Johnson on a 4-yard pass play for the lone Boulder Creek score.
"Our defense was tight all night," said Zupke. "They had just the one big play from Huston, who's a great athlete."

Wedding Party Poetry
Wedding party poetry doesn't have to be serious or sentimental - it can be humorous, too! Print out this poem to share with someone at your wedding reception!
Really Fun
Relatives are drinking,
The groom is busy thinking,
The bride is quite stressed out,
And children are about.
It's kind of getting tense,
The best man's looking dense,
There seems to be some drama,
With someone's dear old mama.
But it's okay, for all this means,
Is that there's life behind the scenes,
This wedding party's really fun,
Just look around at everyone!
by Lucilla Moretti
submit a poem
Once the wedding couple has tied the knot and sealed their wedding with a kiss, it's time to celebrate! Everyone can relax, let down their hair and just enjoy the reception. But up until that point, it sometimes seems like there is a whole lot going on behind the scenes! People might seem nervous, women are sizing one another up and kids are running amok!
These are just some of the things that add character to our experiences. Some of the best weddings that I've attended (and I've attended quite a few) have had all kinds of different things going on throughout the day, followed by wonderful and fun-filled celebrations at the receptions. Looking at things in a lighthearted way is just so important! You don't want stress to run the show, after all!
I think sharing this poem with someone at the wedding party would be a lot of fun. You could even pass it around, and the guests would probably get quite a kick out of it. As far as wedding party poetry goes, I think this one is pretty good.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 8
Posted By: KarlaDate: Wednesday, 20 January 1999, at 5:53 a.m.
I posted a while back about an O wanting to use Lactaid to make milk a neutral. I thought that Lactaid's pre-digesting the components in milk would be a bad thing, as it would make them more bio-available--or stripped of coatings and therefore more reactive with the tissues of the digestive tract. Then there was a post by Sonia saying that Dr. D never said milk had lectins, only blood-type antigens.
And I'm all, "What?" If you've got a blood-type antigen travelling through your body, you can bet that your immune system is going to agglutinate all over it! So, what's the difference between a lectin and a blood-type antigen? I mean, in terms of the reaction of the immune system?

Hello, everyone!
I was checking the news archives for something else when I found an article on a chicken/meat subtitute called quorn. This was the first time (I read the arcticle today) that I had even heard of it, yet the article said that it had been marketed (most popularly in Europe) since the mid 1990's. While the article focused on a consumer group warning of its dangers, I would like to know if anyone has heard of and/or tried it, in what parts of the country it can be found, and its cost. Supposedly, it is made from fungi, but as mushrooms provide trace amounts of protein (I don't know if they are complete proteins or not), I don't know what type of nutritional value it has, or even if it tastes good. I do know that I have exhausted my meagre repetoire of TVP recipies, and I haven't found many satisfactory ones on the internet or anyplace else. I know of only two meat substitutes: Those made of wheat and those made of soy derivatives. Besides these (and quorn), does anyone know of any others? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Happy gardening! Borealis |

Yep, tried it and liked it. Some people don't want to try it because of the "fungi" it's made from, but they've been eating it in the UK for years is my understanding. Anyway, I use the "little cube" quorn for making Buffalo nuggets. Just brown the quorn in some butter, heating it through. Then I add a little more butter and hot sauce to taste. Serve with blue cheese dressing or ranch for dipping. My family loves it. Also like the garlic/herb cutlets more than the other "patty" type. Use the garlic/herb ones with stuffing and all the "trimmings" for holiday meals (Easter this year). It hasn't bothered any of us (some people claim if they have an allergy to mushrooms the have problems) and we do like the taste. I think that anything that gives the meat producers in this country a run for their money is worth at least a try! Lori |
I've tried the little cube variety in pasta sauces (a chicken cacciatore imitation) and also their breaded "chicken" breasts and they were both pretty decent. Personally, I prefer Veat and would always use Veat before I'd use Quorn - I guess it's been so long since I ate real chicken, the Quorn texture is a little too lifelike for my tastes and I like the taste of Veat better since I'm not really directly comparing it to chicken. (I'm also a big fan of Tofurky!!) I buy all of these at the local food co-op. I think you can get them mail order too but will pay a fortune for shipping. |
Hello, again! Thank you both for answering my questions. I'll try to see if I can find it in my area. One more question: What is Veat? Happy gardening! Borealis |
- Posted by webgoddessdesigns (My Page) on Wed, Aug 14, 02 at 22:35
Veat is another meat substitute that I've seen at both health food stores and grocery stores (Shaws here in New Hampshire). I have never tried it, so I have nothing to compare it to. I know what ketterng means about it tasting close to chicken. My husband and i have been vegetarian for about 4 years now, but I have to admit I miss the flavor of chicken - I was a chicken fan prior to my vegetarian days. My husband says the flavor frightened him in my recipe and I sat back and sighed remembering my "chicken days". I understand many vegetarians don't want something that tastes like meat/chicken, but as someone who ate meat for 38 years, I missed those things in my favorite recipes. I didn't eat meat because I enjoyed a dead animal, I ate it because i grew up eating it and enjoyed the flavors. Once I realized that the flavor is still available and NO animal was abused or died for me to have it, I was thrilled. To each his own, but I'm glad for Quorn and the other substitutes. Lori |

sendmail config - reject spam with spamassassin?
I've been told that spamssassin only tags spam and nothing more, and that sendmail has to do the rejecting. Can anyone tell me the config I need to put into sendmail to achieve this? I already get a good reject rate with the dnsbl lists so I don't need advice on that, just how to get sendmail working with spamassassin.
thanks for any advice.

Obama Admin Ducks Question of Work Permits
forIllegal Immigrants
AUDIO/VIDEO at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSoy4nGO7Po
WASHINGTON, D.C. - For the second time in three weeks, the Obama
administration refused to clarify its policy on granting work permits to
illegal immigrants.
"Can you tell me if this is the policy of this administration?"
Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX) repeatedly asked Kumar Kibble, Deputy
Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, before Tuesday's Homeland
Security Border and Maritime Subcommittee hearing.
While Kibble testified, "They can certainly apply for work authorization
but there is no automatic grant of work authorization," there is also no
automatic denial of work permits for applicants found to be in the United
States illegally.
On August 18, the New York Times reported, "Those who qualify for relief
can apply for permission to work in the United States and will probably
receive it, officials said."
"I don't know who these administration officials are who said this, but
that kind of statement from this administration really calls into question
this policy," Rep. McCaul said. "Prosecutorial discretion is nothing
knew. But to say that they can `stay in the country and apply for work
permits' that goes a whole step farther and actually goes around, I think,
the will of the Congress."
On September 13, Congressman McCaul questioned ICE Deputy Associate
Director Peter Edge on work authorization for visa overstays. ICE
referred the question to another agency, even though ICE assumes the
responsibility for enforcing our nation's immigration and customs laws.
Congressman McCaul also expressed concern about national security
implications of such a policy, citing Mohammed Atta, one of the 9/11
hijackers who overstayed his visa but did not have a criminal record.
"If Mohammed Atta was pulled over in a traffic stop would he be let go and
allowed to stay in the country to apply for a work permit?" Rep. McCaul
asked hypothetically. "What is the threshold? He gets pulled over for a
traffic stop. Is that enough to deport him? I don't think it is under
your policy."
"I can't speak to that particular case," Kibble responded.

effects. reckless abandon. but the phrase has been changed.
Deng's foreign policy remained consistent. yes he wanted a strong military
, but the military wasn't reformed to later in the 90s under Jiang, which
we've written about. does indeed seem to resemble turkey's zero problems
with neighbors, and as we're pointing out, it is also coming up against
on this point: what's the underlying reason for this shift back to
peace-loving China if we're still talking about trending away from Deng?
the answer is that we're seeing vacillations by the leadership. Hu remains
in charge. Hu and the others are trying to maintain control until he makes
his exit.

I really think you are missing the most important part of this whole
thing. The thing that ties it all togeether. WE have discussed it on
the lists before, and I alluded to it here:
The CPC is for whatever reason scared shitless of all these dissent
possiblities--Jasmine, christians, tibetans, chenguan conflicts, etc.
They are cracking down extremely harshly because they know the economy
is in trouble or on a teeter totter that they are afraid of flipping
over. Thus, their reaction has shown their concern, rather than their
public statements. They have sent 3 or so guys to labor camps, they
have locked up every dissident and HR lawyer they can get their hands
on. They have shut down any and all public demonstrations.
They are going into lockdown mode and are not willing to take risks.
But this is risky in and of itself, if someone gets hurt or if they get
to brutal and it starts a backlash, they could be in a lot of trouble.
They could spark more (and real) protests themselves inadvertantly.
This is more likely because of the insecurity over the 2012 transition
and the commonality of local leaders acting out.
I really think you need to include this bit, and I can help you with it
if needed.

China:The End of the Deng Dynasty [snap]
In recent weeks months China has become perceptibly more anxious than
usual. The government has launched the most extensive security
campaign to suppress political dissent since the aftermath of
Tiananmen square crackdown in 1989[though this crackdown considered
well into the 1990s], arresting and disappearing journalists, bloggers
and artists. The crackdown was apparently prompted by fears that
foreign forces and domestic dissidents have hatched a "Jasmine" plot
to ignite protests inspired by recent events in the Middle
East.[apparently prompted??? Let's say it was definitely a response
to TWO things 1. the belief that foreign forces were tryign to start
shit 2. the knowledge that their economy is fucked and they are
susceptible. The second is really the most importnat. IT's also
historically backed by the fear of foreign forces and economic
Meanwhile the economy maintains a furious pace of credit-fueled
growth, despite authorities repeated claims of pulling back on the
reins to prevent excessive inflation and systemic financial risks. The
government's cautiousness on inflation has emboldened local
governments and state companies who benefit from devil-may-care growth
uh, what does this mean?; yet inflation's risks to socio-political
stability have encouraged a tougher stance. The government is thus
beset by perils of economic overheating or overcorrection, either of
which could trigger an explosionWC [would use outbreak] of social
unrest, and leading to erratic policymaking.
These security and economic challenges are taking place at a time when
the transition from the so-called fourth generation leaders to fifth
generation leaders in 2012 has gotten under way, heightening factional
contests over economic policy and further complicating attempts to
take decisive action. [as well as nervousness or insecurity over
staiblity, and thus more brash actions by officials.]
Yet there is something still deeper that is driving the Communist
Party's anxiety and heavy-handed security measures. The need to
transform the country's entire economic model brings with it hazards
that the party fears will jeopardize the legitimacy of the party
Deng Xiaoping is well known for launching China's emergence from the
dark days of Chairman Mao's Cultural Revolution and inaugurating the
rise of a modern, internationally-oriented economic giant. Deng's
model rested on three pillars. First, pragmatism toward the economy,
allowing for capitalist-style incentives domestically and channels for
international trade. By opening space for industry, Deng paved the way
for a growth boom that would provide employment and put an end to
ceaseless civil strife. The party's legitimacy famously became linked
to the country's economic success, rather than ideological zeal.
Second, a foreign policy of openness and cooperation. The lack of
emphasis on political ideology and nativism opened space for
international movement[WC. 'international movement' sounds weird to
me], with economic cooperation the basis for new relationships. This
gave enormous impetus to the Sino-American detente that Nixon had
contrived with Mao. In Deng's words, China would maintain a low
profile and avoid taking the lead. It was to be unobtrusive so as to
befriend and do business with almost any country (as long as they
recognized Beijing as the one and only China).[do you want to talk in
here about how they decided to become a world ower, but be stealthy
about it]
Third, Deng maintained the primacy of the Communist Party. Reform of
the political system along the lines of western countries could be
envisioned, but in practice deferred. This policy of party supremacy
was sealed after the mass protests at Tiananmen, crushed by the
military after dangerous intra-party struggle. The People's Liberation
Army and the newly established People's Armed Police would serve as
Deng's "Great Wall of steel" protecting the party from insurrection.
For three decades, Deng's model has stayed for the most part intact.
There have been important modifications and shifts, but the general
framework stands, because chinese-style capitalism and partnership
with the U.S. served the country well. Moreover, unlike Mao, Deng
secured his policy by establishing a succession plan. He was
instrumental in setting up his immediate successor Jiang Zemin as well
as Jiang's successor, current President Hu Jintao. Hu's policies do
not differ from Deng's as widely as is often claimed[who claims this?
why?]. China's response to the global economic crisis in 2008 revealed
that Hu sought recourse to the same export and investment driven
growth model as his predecessors. Hu's plans of boosting household
consumption have failed, the economy remains more off-balance than
ever, and the interior remains badly in need of development. But along
the general lines of Deng's policy, the country has continued to grow,
stay out of conflict with the U.S. or others, and remain indisputably
in control.
However, in recent years unprecedented structural? challenges[or
something to make it clear that they are not political challenges from
CPC] to Deng's model have emerged. First, the economic model is more
clearly than ever in need of restructuring. Economic crisis and its
aftermath in the developed world have caused a shortfall in foreign
demand, and rising costs of labor and raw materials are eroding
China's comparative advantage, even as its export sector has become so
massive as to be competing with itself to claim a slice of nearly
saturated markets. this may require a bit more explanation or
simplification in phrasing to explain how China is 'competing with
itself' in saturated markets The answer has been, theoretically, to
boost household consumption and rebalance growth - the Hu
administration's policy - but this plan would bring extreme hazards if
aggressively pursued. If consumption cannot be generated quickly
enough to pick up the slack (and it cannot within the narrow time
frame what's that time frame? China's leaders envision), growth will
slow sharply and unemployment will rise, causing serious threats to a
party whose legitimacy rests on its providing growth.
Not coincidentally, new movements have arisen that seek to restore the
party's prestige based not on economics, but on the party's inherent,
ideological power. Hu Jintao's faction, rooted in the Chinese
Communist Youth League (CCYL), has a clear doctrine and party
orientation, and has set the stage to expand its control when the
sixth generation of leaders arrive. has there been any modification to
the party's ideology to adjust to the current conditions, or is it the
same old mantra?
Yet this trend toward ideological justification transcends factions[of
course it does, they all have mutual interest in staying in power]. Bo
Xilai, the popular party chief in Chongqing, is a "princeling" - sons
or daughters of Communist revolutionaries that are often given prized
positions in state leadership and in large state-owned enterprises.
The princelings are generally at odds with the CCYL, but they are not
a wholly coherent group[they are also just a stereotype. they don't
have a unifying institution like the CCYL. but maybe there is another
institution?. The likely future president Xi Jinping, also a
princeling, is often stereotyped as a promoter of economic growth at
any cost, but Bo made his name striking down organized crime leaders
who had grown rich and powerful off the massive influx of new money
and by bribing officials. Bo's campaign of nostalgia for the Mao era,
including singing revolutionary songs and launching a Red
microblog[What is a Red microblog? is that a website? is that what
it's called?], is hugely popular [LINK],adding an unusual degree of
popular support to his bid for a spot on the Politburo standing
committee in 2012. Powerful princelings in the upper ranks of the PLA
are thought to be behind its growing self-confidence and
confrontational attitude toward foreign rivals.
This points to the second challenge to Deng's legacy. The foreign
policy of inoffensiveness for the sake of commerce has come under
fire. so basically, the old ideology isn't sufficient to deal with
China's current problems, causing contradictions to the ideology
itself. might help to explain that more clearly, tracing back to
those key principles you mentioned earlier Vastly more dependent on
foreign natural resources, and yet insecure because of ineffectualness
in affecting prices and vulnerability of supply lines, China has
turned to the PLA to take a greater role in protecting its global
interests. As a result the PLA has become more forceful in driving its
policies, at times seeming as if it were capable of overriding the
current set of leaders who lack military experience, violating the CPC
principle of civilian rule. In recent years China has pushed harder on
territorial claims and more staunchly defended partners like North
Korea, Iran, Pakistan and Myanmar. This has alarmed its neighbors and
the United States - a trend especially observable throughout 2010. The
PLA is not the only outfit that seems increasingly bold. Chinese
government officials and state companies have also caused worry among
foreigners. But it is by far the most important.[but i hink in many
ways this is what Deng wanted. He had a 4- or 5-principle thing for
china's military/security buildup. about being stealth, but then
surprising the world] if true, then that's pretty key... was 'peace
with everyone' concept just one of several phases? or it simply that
china has outgrown that phrase? similar thing is happening with
Turkey in which its naive 'zero problems with neighbors' policy is
hitting against walls
Third, Deng's avoidance of political reform may be becoming harder to
maintain. The stark disparities in wealth and public services between
social classes and regions have fueled dissatisfaction. Arbitrary
power, selective enforcement of the law, official corruption, crony
capitalism, and other ills have gnawed away at public content, giving
rise to more and more frequent incidents and outbursts. The social
fabric is torn, and leaders fear that widespread unrest could ignite.
Simultaneously, rising education, incomes and new forms of social
organization like NGOs and the internet have given rise to greater
demands and new means of coordination that dissidents or opposition
movements could use.
In this atmosphere Premier Wen Jiabao has become outspoken, calling
for the party to pursue political reforms in keeping with economic
reforms. Wen's comments contain just enough ambiguity to suggest that
he is promoting radical change or diverging from the party, though he
may intend them only to pacify people by preserving hope for changes
in the unspecified future. Regardless, it is becoming harder for the
party to maintain economic development without addressing political
grievances. Political changes seem necessary not only for the sake of
pursuing oft-declared plans to unleash household consumption and
domestic innovation and services, but also to ease social
discontentment. The possibility has reemerged for the party to split
on the question of political reform, as happened in the 1980s.
These new challenges to Deng's theory reveal a rising uncertainty in
China about whether Deng's solutions are still adequate in securing
the country's future. Essentially, the rise of Maoist nostalgia, the
princeling's Cultural Revolution-esque glorification of their
bloodline and the Communist Youth League's promotion of ideology and
wealth redistribution, imply a growing fear that the economic
transition may fail and the party will need a more aggressive security
presence and a more ideological basis for the legitimacy of its rule.
A more assertive military implies growing fear that a foreign policy
of meekness and amiability is insufficient to protect China's heavier
dependencies on foreign trade from those who feel threatened by its
rising power, such as Japan, India or the United States. And a more
strident premier in favor of political reform may suggest fear that
growing demands for political change will lead to upheaval unless they
are addressed and alleviated.
At this moment, Beijing is struggling to contain these challenges to
the status quo within the same cycle that has characterized the past
three decades. The cycle is recognizable but the fluctuations are
widening and the policy reactions becoming more sudden and extreme.
The country is continuing to pursue the same path of economic
development, even sacrificing more ambitious rebalancing in order to
re-emphasize, in the 2011-15 Five Year Plan, what are basically the
traditional methods of growth: massive credit expansion fueling
large-scale infrastructure expansion and technology upgrades for the
export-oriented manufacturing sector, all provided for by transferring
wealth from depositors to state-owned corporations and local
governments. Whatever modifications are in the plan are slight, and
attempts at alternatives to the overall growth model have not yet
borne fruit.
unclear here on what the transition is supposed to be... earlier you
were describing why the Deng ideology had come under great strain and
how that was manifesting itself in more aggressive foreign policy,
etc; what's the underlying reason for this shift back to peace-loving
China if we're still talking about trending away from Deng? Also
China has signaled that it is backing away from last year's foreign
policy assertiveness. Hu and Obama met in Washington in January and
declared a thaw in relations. Recently Hu announced a "new security
concept" for the region saying that cooperation and peaceful
negotiation remain official Chinese policy, and China respects the
"presence and interests" of outsiders in the region, a new and
significant comment in light of the United States' reengagement with
the region. The U.S. has to an extent approved of China's
backpedaling, saying the Chinese navy has been less assertive this
year than last, and has quieted many of its threats. The two sides
seem prepared to engineer a return to six-party talks to manage North
Finally, the harsh security crackdown under way since February - part
of a longer trend of security tightening - shows that the state
remains committed to Deng's denying political reform indefinitely, and
choosing strict social control instead. A narrative has emerged in
western media blaming the princelings for the current crackdown,
suggesting this faction is behind it[is this narrative really that
strong? or was it just that one article?]. Chinese officials
themselves have leaked such ideas. But the fact remains that Hu Jintao
is still head of the party, state and military. Hu earned himself a
reputation of a strong hand by quelling disturbances in Tibet during
his term as party chief, and as president oversaw the crushing of
rebellions in Lhasa and Urumqi, and the tight security in the lead up
to the Olympics. He is more than capable of leading a nationwide
suppression campaign.
There can be no attribution of the crackdown solely to the
princelings, a faction that is not yet in power. The princelings are
expected to regain the advantage among the core leadership in 2012. In
fact, the CCYL faction may benefit from pinning the blame for harsh
policies on its opponents. The truth is that regardless of the
faction, the suppression campaign, and reinvigorated efforts at what
the CPC calls "social management," have the support of the core of the
party, which maintains its old position against dissent.
Hence Deng has not yet been thrown out of the window.WHOA! Can't say
this. His son was literally thrown out of a window is now in a wheel
chair. hahaha, wow But the new currents of military assertiveness,
ideological zeal and political reform have revealed not only
differences in vision among the elite, but a rising concern among them
for their position ahead of the leadership transition. Sackings and
promotions are already accelerating. Unorthodox trends suggest that
leaders and institutions are hedging political bets so as to protect
themselves, their interests and their cliques, in case the economic
transition goes terribly wrong, or foreigners take advantage of
China's vulnerabilities, or ideological division and social revolt
threaten the party. And this betrays deep uncertainties.
As the jockeying for power ahead of the 2012 transition has already
begun in earnest, signs of incoherent and conflicting policy
directives suggest that the center of power is undefined. Tensions
are rising between the factions as they try to secure their positions
without upsetting the balance and jeopardizing a smooth transfer of
power. The government's arrests of dissidents underline its fear of
these growing tensions, as well as its sharp reactions to threats that
could mar the legacy of the current administration and hamper the rise
of the new administration. Everything is in flux, and the cracks in
the system are lengthening.
Regardless of any factional infighting intensifying the security
situation, a major question that arises is how long the party will be
able to maintain the current high level of vigilance without
triggering a backlash. The government has effectively silenced
critics who were deemed possible of fomenting a larger movement. The
masses have yet to rally in significant numbers in a coordinated way
that could threaten the state. But tense security after the
self-immolation at a Tibetan monastery in Sichuan and spontaneous
gatherings opposed to police brutality in Shanghai provide just two
recent examples of how a small event could turn into something
bigger. [but these kind of tensions have always existed the last
decade. this is notthing new. what's new is the organization of the
jasmine, even if small, and MOST IMPORTANTLY the wya the CPC has
responded. we really need to talk about the regime, not the
oppositionAs security becomes more oppressive in the lead up to the
transition -- and easing of control unlikely before then or even in
the following year as the new government seeks to consolidate power -
the heavy hand of the state may cause greater aggravation and
When Deng sought to step down, his primary challenges were how to
loosen economic control, how to create a foreign policy conducive to
trade, and how to forestall democratic challenges to the regime. He
also had to leverage his prestige in the military and party to
establish a reliable succession plan from Jiang to Hu that would set
the country on a prosperous path.
As Hu seeks to step down, his challenges are to prevent economic
overheating, avoid or counter any humiliating turn in foreign affairs
such as greater American pressure, and forestall unrest from economic
left-behinds, migrants or other aggrieved groups. Hu cannot allow the
party (or his legacy) to be marred by mass protests or economic
collapse under his watch. Yet he has to hand off the baton without
Deng's prestige among the military and without a succession plan clad
in Deng's armor.
Hu is the last Chinese leader to have been directly appointed by Deng.
It is not clear whether China's next generation of leaders will
augment Deng's theory, or discard it. But it is clear that China is
taking on a challenge much greater than a change in president or
administration. It has already waded deep into a total economic
transformation unlike anything since 1978 - and the greatest risk to
the party's legitimacy since 1989.

Nearly two-thirds of those taking part in a new Dove study say they're responsible for setting their own standards of beauty. That's up nearly 40-percent compared to a decade ago. Women today also believe society's concept of beauty has evolved to become more inclusive. More than 85-percent believe the public is more accepting of women of color. And over 70-percent see society as more open to women of various appearances and ages. In addition, 84-percent say both young and old women inspire them to feel their best about themselves, and 90-percent say they now appreciate unique characteristics like freckles or scars instead of considering them flaws. However, two-thirds also agree that more needs to be done to further broaden the idea and definition of beauty.

implications of alternative approaches in several of its cost-benefit analyses for air-pollution regulations. However, the agency has been using the same VSL estimates regardless of remaining life expectancy in its primary analyses. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has urged caution in adjusting VSL on the basis of age because of uncertainties in the literature (Graham 2003) but encourages sensitivity analyses with alternative measures of changes in mortality and its monetary valuation. This chapter examines the theoretical and empirical evidence regarding the relationship between age and WTP for mortality-risk reductions in later sections.
As noted in Chapter 4, another related question is whether those most affected by ozone are already in such poor health that their remaining life expectancy is low despite a reduction in ozone exposure. If decreases in short-term ozone concentrations merely decrease "harvesting" those who are already frail and near death, the economic benefit of reducing their exposure to air pollution may be relatively small and should be reflected in a much lower VSL or VSLY than that estimated for relatively healthy people. In addition, perhaps we should be considering the preferences of those at high risk (generally, those in poor health) regarding reduction in their mortality risk.
This chapter takes up the question of whether the VSL or the VSLY is more appropriate for EPA to use in valuing reductions in mortality risk associated with reduced exposure to ozone. It also considers what economic theory and the empirical literature say about how WTP for reductions in mortality risk varies with the age of the person at risk, the size of the risk change, the health status of those at risk (existing chronic illness vs average health and effects on quality of remaining life), income, and other socioeconomic variables to improve approaches for assigning values to reductions in risk.
As introduced in Chapter 2, cost-benefit analysis for a regulatory decision is intended to help answer the question of whether some proposed policy will result in more welfare for the affected people—that is, whether the expected benefits of the regulation are worth the expected costs. The standard approach to cost-benefit analysis is to quantify both costs and benefits in terms of "opportunity cost." For benefits, that means a measure of what those who benefit would be willing to forgo to obtain the specified benefit. This is the basic concept of WTP, which is taken to be a measure of how much better off the members of the benefiting population perceive themselves to be, assuming that the members of the population have full information about the benefits.1

There is some debate in the literature on the foundations of welfare economics as the whether WTP is an appropriate measure of the welfare changes of individuals. For a recent overview of this debate, see Adler and Posner (2006), especially Chapter 2. WTP as |

Union Issues a Loser with WI Dems
Last year, when Gov. Scott Walker won passage of his budget reform bill, WI's public sector unions vowed to take the issue to the voters and oust Walker in a recall election. In the interim, the unions tried, and failed, to wrest control of the state Senate in recall elections last year. And, they tried, and failed, to take control of the state Supreme Court. Today, their leading candidate in the recall election, Kathleen Falk, is set for a thumping defeat to moderate Democrat, Tom Barret, mayor of Milwaukee. It turns out that, even among WI Democrats, the union positions just aren't that popular with voters.
Make no mistake, the unions went to the mat for Falk, who, in return, vowed to veto any budget that didn't restore the union's collective bargaining rights. They poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into her campaign launched their own PAC, which spent over $5 million on Falks behalf. AFSCME released a scathing ad against Barrett, suggesting he supported Walker's collective bargaining reforms. All this support earned Falk a ten-point drop in the polls. She goes into today's election trailing Barrett by a whopping 17 points.
Of course, its possible Falk and her union allies squandered their monetary advantage with a poorly run campaign. But, there are other signs that the union message is losing out among Wisconsin voters. Barrett's campaign has raised about 85-90% of its funds from individuals, over 80% of whom are from Wisconsin. Over a third of Falk's money has come from special interests and around half her total funds have come from out-of-state.
More worrying for the unions, however, is the fact that Barrett, the presumptive Democrat nominee running against Walker doesn't want to appear allied with the unions. The Dems had planned a big 'unity rally' tonight, to heal the wounds of the often contentious primary. It was cancelled, though, after Barrett pulled out of the event. It seems he was worried about photos and videos of him surrounded by WI union members.
It is certainly telling that Barrett believes his best chance to defeat Walker in the recall is to completely ignore the issue that sparked the recall in the first place. No matter what happens in June, the unions have already lost the war.

Question: My CEO asked me to look into the feasibility of requiring employees
to be 'tobacco-free' off the job as well as during working hours. He
thinks we could save a lot on health insurance if none of our employees
smoked. Has anybody done this … or considered it? What issues do I
need to consider before I make a recommendation on how we should
proceed? — Chris M., Ohio

Joe Paterno in hospital for observation
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Former Penn State coach Joe Paterno was admitted to the hospital Friday for observation due to minor complications from cancer treatments, his family said.
In a statement released to The Associated Press, his family said that the 85-year-old Paterno continues to undergo a "regimen of treatments" after being diagnosed two months ago with what they have termed a treatable form of lung cancer.
The family hoped his latest stay would be brief. He most recently was in the hospital last month after re-breaking his pelvis following a fall at home. That stay also allowed Paterno to continue taking his cancer treatments, which have included radiation and chemotherapy.
Paterno had previously hurt his pelvis when he got accidentally hit in practice in August, forcing him to spend most of the regular season coaching from the press box.
"Although these issues have been challenging for Coach Paterno and his family, he has total confidence in his doctors and is determined to make a full recovery," the family said in the statement.
School trustees fired Paterno on Nov. 9 in the aftermath of child sex abuse charges against retired defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. Paterno, a witness before a grand jury investigating Sandusky, is not a target of the criminal investigation.
Sandusky has denied wrongdoing. He is out on a bail and confined to house arrest while awaiting trial.
The trustees' firing of Paterno has come under scrutiny from several former players, as well as some alumni critical at meetings this week with school president Rodney Erickson about the motivation to oust Paterno.
Others have slammed trustees for what they have called a lack of communication and transparency during a crisis in which Erickson has promised Penn State would be more open and transparent.
Paterno initially announced his retirement at the end of the season on the morning of Nov. 9. That day, he called the scandal "one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more."
The trustees fired him about 12 hours later in a hastily called news conference.
In a statement Thursday, trustees cited the serious allegations and "extraordinary circumstances" in referring to the board's unanimous decision "that Coach Paterno could not be expected to continue to effectively perform his duties and that it was in the best interests of the University to make an immediate change in his status."
Paterno remains employed as a tenured faculty member, and details of his retirement were being worked out and would be made public when finalized. The university intends to honor Paterno's contract as if he had retired at the end of the 2011 football season, the trustees said.
In response, Paterno's son Scott said in a separate statement that "As has become apparent, the termination on November 9, with no notice or hearing, was not handled well.
"Joe Paterno has reiterated from the beginning that the first priority in this crisis is to serve the best interests of the victims," Scott Paterno continued. "He believes strongly that everyone involved is entitled to due process."
In New York, where he was facing Penn State alumni for the third time in three days, Erickson said the school has yet to start making plans to honor Paterno.
As with the previous meetings in Pittsburgh and outside Philadelphia, the sometimes-tense town hall style event included multiple questions about Paterno's firing.
Erickson offered best wishes to Paterno. He said he supported the Board of Trustees' decision to fire the Hall of Fame coach because "the ability to lead was compromised."
About 300 alumni attended the sometimes heated 90-minute session.

UH Offers Experts on Hurricanes
Representing experts across various fields, University of Houston sources have expertise in an array of topics related to storms – before, during and after.
Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author Comes to UH to Discuss Communist Regimes and the People Who Let It Happen
The term "communism" conjures images of bread lines populated by Stalin-oppressed citizens desperate for survival in a cruel and morally-corrupt regime. Yet its forced proliferation into Eastern Europe marched in with little protest.
Anne Applebaum, columnist for the Washington Post and Slate and author of "Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe, 1944-1956," will discuss how the regimes were created and what daily life was like for the men and women who endured it when she visits the University of Houston at 5 p.m., Wednesday, April 10 in the Honors Commons. The event is free and open to the public and co-sponsored by the Hobby Center for Public Policy and the Honors College Phronesis Program.
"It's a great honor for to us host such a renowned author and independent thinker," said Professor Tamler Sommers, co-director of Phronesis, "We're excited especially for our undergraduate fellows to meet with Dr. Applebaum. All of the speakers have enjoyed these discussions, telling us how impressed they are with the intelligence and dedication of the fellows."
Applebaum is the acclaimed Pulitzer-prize winning author of "Gulag: A History" and a columnist at The Washington Post and Slate. She is currently the director for politics at the Legaturn Institute in London. She also holds the Phillipe Roman chair in history and international affairs at the London School of Economics.
