Do or die: Labor sets surplus in stone
PUBLISHED: 10 Feb 2012 00:06:13 | UPDATED: 10 Feb 2012 03:55:50PUBLISHED: 10 Feb 2012 PRINT EDITION: 10 Feb 2012Budget bluster . . . Labor's Wayne Swan and Bill Shorten react to shadow treasurer Joe Hockey in Parliament on Thursday. Photo: Alex Ellinghausen
Laura Tingle
Treasurer Wayne Swan went into the House of Representatives at 10am yesterday to give Parliament an update on the global economy.
The global economy was "in some respects" in worse shape than it was last year, he said, but recent actions in Europe "may have bought Europe and the global community a little space".
Australia's economy, he continued, was "very much the envy of the world, with solid growth, low unemployment, contained inflation, strong public finances and a record pipeline of business investment".
However, we were not immune from the impact of the global economy, he said.
For most people, the most obvious impact that the parlous state of the world economy is having on Australia is the high value of the dollar, with its increasing consequences for local businesses.
But of course global conditions also exercise the mind of a federal treasurer for other reasons.
Swan told Parliament yesterday that if global conditions took another turn for the worse, "this will hit our revenues and obviously make it harder to return to surplus – that's just common sense".
"We've already seen $140 billion ripped from government revenues due to global instability, including $20 billion in the six months between last year's budget and the midyear update.
"As the Prime Minister said recently, we are committed to return the budget to surplus in 2012-13, we are determined to deliver it, and we will deliver it [our emphasis]."
Swan argued that a budget surplus "will preserve our existing strong credibility with global financial markets and increase the scope for our independent Reserve Bank to ease monetary policy should conditions require".
What Swan didn't say was that a lot more now rests on a budget surplus in 2012-13. The way the political debate about the economy has developed so far in 2012 makes a budget surplus delivered in May and beyond one of the most important pivot points for politics between now and the next federal election.
That is why it is so significant that the Prime Minister, on Wednesday, and yesterday the Treasurer, in Parliament, have committed the government to that surplus so firmly that they may as well have pledged it in blood.
The May 8 budget is now just three months away. There is no wriggle room for the government to walk away from its surplus declaration.
The reason Julia Gillard and Swan have made the commitment, and the even more important reason they cannot walk away from it, is to pressure the Coalition over its spending and taxing plans.
After Opposition Leader Tony Abbott opened that can of worms last week with his talk of not just one, but two, tax cuts in a Coalition government's first term, not to mention "aspirational" spending, he and his colleagues have been struggling to define their aspirational goal on budget policy.
They insist their refusal to commit to a surplus in a first term of government is no more than a reflection of the current economic uncertainty. But this is a change from their previous position, and leaves them without a clear base from which to attack Labor's policies.
Perhaps this explains why the Coalition's political attack in Parliament this week has gone back to the old reliable focus on the Prime Minister's credibility, and the events of Australia Day, instead of the economy, despite the Opposition Leader's earlier machismo about engaging in the economic debate. However, after numerous false starts, where Labor has promised surpluses then not delivered them, citing the parlous international environment, the government cannot just hope the Coalition's budget position stays as chaotic as it has been this week.
It needs to finally deliver on its surplus forecast for 2012-13: not just confirm the existing forecast for a surplus on May 8, but ensure it is still forecasting a surplus in 2012-13 in the midyear review in November, and in next year's budget.
In his comments in Parliament yesterday, Swan set out "global instability" as the potential excuse for not getting there – but it is so not in his political interests to have to use it (again).
Yet getting to an actual surplus for 2012-13 will be no mean feat, even if that is already the forecast.
The midyear review forecast the budget bottom line improving from a cash deficit in 2011-12 of $37.1 billion to a surplus of $1.5 billion.
So the government is gambling it can turn the budget around by $38 billion in just 12 months, even though its own growth forecasts have been revised down (and even though, as Joe Hockey pointed out yesterday, it has been ridiculing the Coalition's suggestions it could do something of a similar magnitude).
There haven't been any signs of nervousness around the government in the past couple of weeks about the difficulties of achieving such a mammoth task, even though now it is in effect pledged in blood.
Maybe someone knows something we don't about revenues.
But if the government pulls it off, it will create a new platform from which to fight on economic policy.
The fundamentals of the political debate about the economy are that voters still trust the Coalition more than Labor to run the economy.
The government clearly believes that the confusing statements from the Coalition over the past week about its plans for the budget finally give it a chance to change this. But it won't be able to unless it gets the budget into surplus and keeps it there, first to prove it can do it and, second, to put itself in the position of asking what the purpose of an even bigger surplus (the Coalition's ultimate policy position) might be.
Just why you need a "bigger" surplus when the global economy is still likely to be fragile, and the dollar is high, is something the Coalition will have to explain.
Labor is clearly trying to reframe the debate on intervention in the economy.
Have you noticed how industry assistance is now called "co-investment" and described as supporting jobs rather than industry? This may have worrying budgetary implications longer term.
The Coalition's apparent inability to engage in the economic debate this week took pressure off an embattled prime minister in the first week of Parliament, along with a more favourable Nielsen poll.
A Four Corners program on Kevin Rudd, due to air on Monday, will mean the Labor leadership issue will not go away. But Gillard has now made the economy the issue on which she will try to hold on to her job.

Italian sets pace on day two, while Honda lead V8 race
Having crashed out of Wednesdays Jerez session with a suspected front-right suspension failure, Ferraris Luca Badoer suffered an almost identical accident on Thursday, but nevertheless finished at the head of the timesheets.
Badoer was shaken but unhurt after his F2005 plunged into the tyre wall at the hairpin just before midday. Ferrari decided to end their programme, which had also included Marc Gene running in the V8-powered F2004 M, until the cause of the accidents has been determined. To that point Badoer had completed just 15 laps, but his best of 1m 18.223s remained unbeaten. The Italian has been relieved of driving duties for the rest of the week in order to rest.
Jenson Button was the quickest V8 runner in Hondas Concept car, almost a second down on Badoer. The Briton ran through set-up and tyre work, while team mate James Rossiter focussed on chassis development in a second of the hybrid machines.
Heikki Kovalainen and Franck Montagny were third and fourth respectively as Renault concluded their weeks work at Jerez. Both completed over 100 laps using restricted V10 power in this years R25 machine. Montagny focused solely on brake testing and development, while Kovalainen concentrated on tyre testing with Michelin.
"We had another very productive day in Jerez, reported Christian Silk, Renaults chief test engineer. Both drivers were able to start running quickly, and progressed well with their programmes. Our technical solution for these test sessions, using a known R25 package to establish a good baseline for tyre and vehicle development, is so far proving extremely useful as we are completing very high mileages every day, and making solid progress for 2006. We hope to continue in the same manner next week."
Ryan Briscoe was again in the cockpit for Toyota, standing in for the sick Olivier Panis, while Jarno Trulli made in early return after Ralf Schumacher pulled out of the session on Wednesday with back pain.
I only arrived in Jerez at about noon so it was a very busy afternoon for us, explained Trulli, who was sixth fastest behind Briscoe. Just as last week in Barcelona, the new TF106 felt well balanced and we got through a lot of laps. So it was a very positive day overall. We made it through a lot of set-up comparisons so this has been a useful starting point for the next two days when I will continue to test here."
Chassis technical director, Mike Gascoyne, was pleased with Toyotas and Biscoes progress, adding: "That was a constructive day. Both cars ran very reliably and we only had one small mechanical issue when Ryan stopped with a hydraulic problem. Even so, he completed most of his programme. I have to say that considering Ryan has not driven an F1 car for a year and that this was his first time since his huge shunt in the IRL he's done an excellent job over the two days, both in terms of consistency and speed. So I congratulate him for conducting an excellent two-day test programme at very short notice.
There was little to choose between the pace of Williams drivers Mark Webber and Nico Rosberg, who were seventh and eighth in the times after completing 46 and 38 laps respectively, both at the wheel of the Cosworth V8-powered FW27C.
DTM champion Gary Paffett was the quickest McLaren driver in ninth, with Alexander Wurz 12th. Both men suffered offs during the day, Wurz crashing early in the morning and then Paffett mid afternoon when his rear wheels seized following an engine failure. Neither driver was hurt.
Jacques Villeneuve experienced an unfortunate start to his first BMW Sauber test when his car stopped on his very first lap due to an oil filter problem. However, with the issue solved he went on to run 64 laps, as he familiarised himself with BMWs V8, and he finished the day in 16th.
"It's always nice to get into the car after the break, said the former champion. Furthermore, it was the first time for me with BMW and the V8 engine, and this was nice. Of course, it's hard to compare the V8 with the V10, but I was expecting a bigger loss of power and more vibrations. It was not too bad and actually quite nice to drive. In fact you do feel a little loss of power, but it doesn't make driving less fun. The speed in the corners seems to be the same while you are going slower on the straights. Nevertheless, the driving will still be exciting and physical. Hopefully since we are all going less fast on the straights this will give us a bigger tow and this could mean more overtaking in the future."
I am really happy with the way the day went today, said Van Hooydonk. It was a tough day as this morning it took a long time for the tyres to warm up because of the cold temperature of the track. Then my programme was constantly interrupted by red flags, which made it harder to keep up the pace as I was sometimes sitting stationary in the car for a long time. I was not feeling very comfortable in the car because normally when you do a seat fitting you need time to get used to it. Now I am used to it but unfortunately the day is over. However, I am very satisfied with my first test and now I know exactly what it is all about and I hope in the future I will have another opportunity."
Also in action for MF1 was race driver Tiago Monteiro, who was at the wheel of the teams interim V8 car. It was a difficult day for me today but I guess this is what winter tests are for, he explained. We had several different problems which prevented us from doing the work we wanted. Unfortunately I was unable to complete as many laps as we had planned. Today was also the first time I have tried the Toyota V8 and obviously there is a big difference. We have a lot of work to do as this changes the balance and the electronics of the car as well as the driving style. Tomorrow I am going to drive both the V8 and V10 cars so it will be interesting to compare them. Although we had a lot of problems, the team has done a great job fixing the car as quickly as possible and I thank them for that."
Testing continues at Jerez on Friday.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Julien Duvivier (8 October 1896, Lille – 29 October 1967, Paris) was a French film director. He was prominent in French cinema in the years 1930-1960.[1][2] Amongst his most original films, chiefly notable are La Bandera, Pépé le Moko, Panique, Voici le temps des assassins and Marianne de ma jeunesse.[3][4][5][6] Jean Renoir called him, a "great technician, [a] rigorist, a poet".[7]
It was as an actor, in 1916 at the Théâtre de l'Odéon under the direction of André Antoine, that Duvivier's career began.[8] In 1918 he moved on to Gaumont, as a writer and assistant of, amongst others, André Antoine, Louis Feuillade and Marcel L'Herbier. In 1919 he directed his first film. In the 1920s several of his films had a religious concern: Credo ou la tragédie de Lourdes, L'abbé Constantin and La Vie miraculeuse de Thérèse Martin—a film about the Carmelite saint Thérèse of Lisieux.
In the 1930s Duvivier was part of the production company, 'Film d'Art', founded by Marcel Vandal and Charles Delac and he worked as part of a team. He stayed with them for nine years. David Golder (1930), was his first success. It was also his first 'talkie', as it was of the actor Harry Baur. They worked together many more times in the 1930s. In 1934 Duvivier collaborated with Jean Gabin for the first time in the film Maria Chapdelaine, while for La Bandera (1935), he availed himself of the writing talent of Charles Spaak, who had previously worked with Jacques Feyder, Jean Grémillon, Marc Allégret and Marcel L'Herbier. They too would work together many times from this point onwards. Having made Le Golem (1936), a remake of an earlier German horror film, Duvivier set out on La belle équipe (also 1936), with Jean Gabin, Charles Vanel and Raymond Aimos. The film remains a significant example of his work. Five unemployed men hit the lottery jackpot and decide to buy a seaside café/dance hall together. The unexpected however, keeps happening. Once jealousy over a woman, Gina, (Viviane Romance), gets mixed up with the venture, there is little left to save. The original ending of the film involving a killing, was judged too pessimistic, and another, happier ending, was filmed. It was the happier version that was released, though both versions still survive. L'Homme du jour (1936), with Maurice Chevalier in the lead role is a minor work in the director's canon but Pépé le Moko and Un Carnet de Bal (both 1937) are incontestable summits.
Pépé le Moko, which plunges into the midst of the gangster underworld and which had the Casbah (Arab quarter) of Algiers for exotic backdrop, was the film which propelled Jean Gabin into the category of an international star. In 1938 Duvivier signed a contract with MGM and made his first American film, a biopic of Johann Strauss, The Great Waltz. The next year, back in France, he made La Fin du Jour, in which theatre actors in retirement struggle to see that their retirement home remains open. Michel Simon played an old ham actor, and Louis Jouvet, an old leading actor who still believes in his seductive powers. La Charrette fantôme followed, a horror film adapted from a novel by Selma Lagerlof. In 1940 Untel père et fils, a family history starring Raimu, Michèle Morgan, and Louis Jouvet, was not able to be shown—because of the political situation—until the end of the war, at least in France. It is generally considered a minor work, and even a failure.
During the Second World War, Duvivier left to work in the United States. He made 5 films in these years. Lydia (1941); two anthology films, Tales of Manhattan (1942) with Charles Boyer and Rita Hayworth among leading actors, and Flesh and Fantasy (1943) with Edward G. Robinson, Charles Boyer and Barbara Stanwyck; The Impostor (1944), again with Jean Gabin; and Destiny (also 1944), a Reginald Le Borg directed film which was built around a cut thirty-minute sequence from Flesh and Fantasy (Duvivier was uncredited) .
On his return to France, Duvivier experienced some difficulties in resuming his career. Panique (1946), an exhaustive summary of the lowest of human instincts, was the most personal, darkest, and nihilistic of his works. It was a bitter failure with critics and the public. Duvivier continued, notwithstanding, to work in France until the end of his life, apart from a short period in Great Britain to shoot Anna Karenina (1948) and to Spain for Black Jack (1950).
Sous le ciel de Paris (1951) is a highly original film from the point of view of the way the film was cut. In the course of a day in Paris one follows people whose paths will cross. The same year Duvivier shot the first of the humorous Don Camillo films from the Giovanni Guareschi books, Le Petit monde de Don Camillo. It met with immediate popular success and he followed its success with The Return of Don Camillo (1953). The series continued with other directors.
In Voici le temps des assassins (1956), Jean Gabin plays a decent restaurateur in Les Halles who is swindled by a cynical young woman, Catherine, (Danièle Delorme). Duvivier co-wrote and directed two films in 1957: the drama Lovers of Paris (starring Gérard Philipe) and the comedy-thriller The Man in the Raincoat (starring Fernandel and Bernard Blier).
Marie-Octobre (1959) followed, featuring Danielle Darrieux, Serge Reggiani, and Bernard Blier amongst others. It was an exercise in style; 11 people, 9 men, 2 women, and a mise en scène that followed the unities of time, place, and action, it had a constant concern for the framing of the composition to reinforce an inquisitorial, menacing atmosphere. The same year he was invited to be part of the jury of the Cannes Film Festival, 1959, the year the Nouvelle Vague fully emerged. Duvivier's final portmanteau film was Le Diable et les dix Commandements (1962), while the scenario of Chair de Poule (1963) has a resemblance to The Postman Always Rings Twice and again features an unscrupulous woman.
During the fall of 1967, just as the production of Diaboliquement vôtre reached completion, a film about a man made amnesiac following a car accident, Duvivier himself was in a traffic accident, triggering a heart attack which killed him. He was 71; he left behind a filmography comprising nearly 70 films. He is buried in the cemetery of Rueil-Malmaison in the Hauts-de-Seine.

Public institution dedicated to preserving and interpreting the primary tangible evidence of humans and their environment. Types of museums include general (multidisciplinary) museums, natural-history museums, science and technology museums, history museums, and art museums. In Roman times the word referred to a place devoted to scholarly occupation (see Museum of Alexandria). The public museum as it is known today did not develop until the 17th–18th century. The first organized body to receive a private collection, erect a building to house it, and make it publicly available was the University of Oxford; the resulting Ashmolean Museum opened in 1683. The 18th century saw the opening of great museums such as the British Museum, Louvre, and Uffizi Gallery. By the early 19th century the granting of public access to formerly private collections had become common. What followed for the next 100 years was the worldwide founding of museums intended for the public. In the 20th century, museums have broadened their roles as educational facilities, sources of leisure activity, and information centres. Many sites of historical or scientific significance have been developed as museums. Museum attendance has increased greatly, often attracted by "blockbuster" exhibitions, though museums have had to become more financially resourceful due to constraints in public funding.

Museum of decorative arts in London. It was conceived by Prince Albert as a way to improve the standards of British design by making the finest models available for study. The core collection, consisting of objects purchased at the 1851 Crystal Palace exhibition, was originally called the Museum of Ornamental Art and was opened by Queen Victoria in 1857. A new building was later designed by Sir Aston Webb, and the museum was renamed when Victoria laid the cornerstone in 1899; it was opened to the public by Edward VII in 1909. It houses vast collections of European sculpture, ceramics, furniture, metalwork, jewelry, textiles, and musical instruments from medieval times to the present; remarkable Chinese ceramics, jade, and sculpture; the premier collection of Italian Renaissance sculpture outside Italy; and the outstanding national collection of British watercolours, miniatures, prints, and drawings. It is regarded as the world's greatest decorative-arts museum. Its branch museums include the Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood and the Wellington Museum. The Theatre Museum was also a branch until January 2007, when it was closed.

Museum in New York City, the world's most comprehensive collection of U.S. and European art from the late 19th century to the present. It was founded in 1929 by a group of private collectors. The original building on 53rd St. opened in 1939; a later addition and sculpture garden were designed by Philip Johnson (1953). A condominium tower and western wing, doubling the exhibition space, were completed in 1984. Its collections of Cubist, Surrealist, and Abstract Expressionist paintings are extensive; other holdings include sculpture, graphic arts, industrial design, architecture, photography, and film. Through its permanent collections, exhibitions, and many publications, it exerts a strong influence on public taste and artistic production.

Most comprehensive collection of art in the U.S. and one of the foremost in the world. It was incorporated in New York City in 1870, and the present building in Central Park on Fifth Avenue was opened in 1880. The Metropolitan was built with the private fortunes of businessmen; today it is owned by the city but supported mainly by private endowment. Its outstanding Egyptian, Mesopotamian, East Asian, Middle Eastern, Greek and Roman, European, pre-Columbian, and U.S. collections include—in addition to paintings, sculpture, and graphic arts—architecture, glass, ceramics, textiles, metalwork, furniture, arms and armour, and musical instruments. It also incorporates a Costume Institute and the Thomas J. Watson Library, one of the world's greatest art and archaeology reference collections. Much of the medieval collection is housed at The Cloisters in Manhattan's Fort Tryon Park; its building (1938) incorporates parts of medieval monasteries and churches.

Largest museum in Russia and one of the most important in the world. Located in St. Petersburg, it derives its name from the "Hermitage" pavilion adjoining the Winter Palace, built in 1764–67 for Catherine II (the Great) as a private gallery for her treasured collections. On her death in 1796, the imperial collections were estimated to total 4,000 pictures. After the Winter Palace was destroyed by fire in 1837, the Hermitage was reconstructed and opened to the public by Nicholas I in 1852. After the Bolshevik Revolution, the collections were transferred to public ownership. The museum is now housed in five interconnected buildings, including the Winter Palace and the Small, Old, and New Hermitages. Along with thousands of art objects from Central Asia, India, China, Egypt, the pre-Columbian Americas, Greece, and Rome, the Hermitage houses outstanding collections of Western painting. Russian history is represented by archaeological material from prehistoric times onward.

Museum in New York City housing the Solomon R. Guggenheim collection of modern art. An example of the "organic architecture" of Frank Lloyd Wright, the building (constructed 1956–59) represents a radical departure from traditional museum design, spiraling upward and outward in a smooth coil of massive, unadorned white concrete. The exhibition space, which has been criticized for upstaging the artwork displayed, consists of a six-story-high spiral ramp encircling an open centre volume lighted by a dome of glass supported by stainless steel. The museum has a comprehensive collection of European painting from throughout the 20th century and of American painting from the second half of the century.

Britain's national museum of archaeology and antiquities, established in London in 1753 when the government purchased three large private collections consisting of books, manuscripts, prints, drawings, paintings, medals, coins, seals, cameos, and natural curiosities. In 1881 the natural-history collections were transferred to another building to form the Natural History Museum, and in 1973 the library collections were consolidated to form the British Library. Among the museum's most famous holdings are the Elgin Marbles, the Rosetta Stone, the Portland Vase, and Chinese ceramics. In 1808 the department of prints and drawings opened with over 2,000 drawings. It is now one of the world's largest and most comprehensive collections.

When Italian musicians began to appear more frequently, along with new dances like the waltz and polka and a new hybrid accordion, a conflict arose, and Italian and Auvergnat musicians became segregated.
Performers of this era include Antoine Bouscatel, Émile Vacher, Martin Cayla, Charles Péguri and Gus Viseur.
By the end of the war, there were three kinds of bals-musette:
The French upper-class began frequenting these establishments, looking for excitement among the poor and downtrodden. Some staged mock police raids for their benefit.
New musical forms like jazz and tango left their mark on bal-musette following the war, and dances like the waltz, mazurka, pasodoble, beguine, foxtrot and java spread through Paris. Later, new instruments were added, including the banjo, clarinet, trumpet, saxophone, mandolin and bandoneon.
It was in about 1945 that musette became the most popular kind of French music. Its biggest stars were known across the country until about 1960, when its popularity declined drastically. Now, a form of modern musette is emerging, and a revival of such balls is witnessed especially in big towns.

See study by S. Karsen (1971).
(born April 17, 1902, Mexico City, Mex.—died May 13, 1974, Mexico City) Mexican poet, novelist, educator, and statesman. He held various diplomatic and government posts, including minister of public education (1943–46) and foreign minister (1946–48). His verse, which early on revealed the influence of Modernismo, often returned to the themes of loneliness, a search for identity, and a longing for death. Cripta (1937) is considered to include his most important poems. His poetry was collected in Obra poética (1967). Of six novels published between 1927 and 1937, Sombras (1937) is considered his best. Afflicted by cancer, he took his own life.

A lot vs. Alot: 9 Grammatical Pitfalls
relatively brief musical composition, usually for piano, expressive of a specific mood or nonmusical idea. Closely associated with the Romantic movement, especially in Germany, 19th-century character pieces often bore titles citing their inspiration from literature (such as Robert Schumann's collection Kreisleriana, 1838) or from personal experience (e.g., Schumann's Kinderszenen, 1838; Scenes from Childhood). Others refer to specific personages directly or in disguise (such as Schumann's Carnaval, composed 1833-35) or evoke geographical and/or national images (e.g., Frederic Chopin's polonaises, mazurkas, and Barcarolle, 1845-46). Felix Mendelssohn's Lieder ohne Worte (1830; Songs Without Words) covered a particularly wide range of styles and moods, while Chopin tended to favour musico-literary genres, such as ballades, and more generalized idyllic or melancholy associations, such as nocturnes. Many, though by no means all, character pieces are relatively simple in design, emphasizing expressive melody and harmony, not unlike the contemporaneous German lied. Although they may feature elaborate keyboard figurations, especially in Chopin's case, the 19th-century character piece may be identified as an instrumental song intended, like its German vocal counterpart, primarily for home rather than concert performance

San Angel Inn

It's a perennial nighttime scene, affected by its location inside the pavilion. The dining area is set up next to the waterway, which transports people in boats on their way to the pavilion's themed ride, Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros. All the elements work nicely together to produce a terrific atmosphere.
I wish they'd spend a little effort on making the food better.
The menu at least stays true to Mexican cuisine, rather than pandering to Americans' concept of it, which has been muddled by Tex-Mex, Southwestern and even San Francisco-style burrito restaurants. Here you'll find no fajitas, an American invention, or cheesy quesadillas. You will receive a conical basket filled with tortilla chips, accompanied by two salsas -- an American tradition that even authentic Mexican restaurants must follow.
That's the last thing you'll get for free. Everything else you'll pay for, and you'll pay way too much.
On a recent lunch visit I ordered the sopa Azteca, described on the menu as a traditional tortilla soup, and conchinita pibil, a sort of pulled pork entree. I had unwittingly ordered two-thirds of the items offered under the heading "traditional Mexican lunch," which also includes a flan dessert. My server pointed this out to me and asked if I didn't want to get the three-courses for $25. Seeing that the soup was $7 and the conchinita $17, I did a little quick math and decided to go for it.
The soup was delivered grandly with the tortilla strips and a few precious chunks of avocado and a dried pasilla pepper in the bowl over which the server poured the broth from a small pitcher. She may as well have popped the top on a can of Swanson's beef broth and poured it in the bowl for all the flavor that it had. It couldn't have been blander.
The conchinita wasn't much more flavorful. Although it was advertised as having been marinated with anchiote seeds, beer, garlic and orange juice, its taste was flat-lined and as monochromatic as its dark reddish-brown color. The meat was accompanied by three soft corn tortillas in a paper envelope, and fried plantains, a side dish rarely seen with Mexican dishes in the U.S.
The quality of neither the soup nor the entree was anywhere near the asking price.
The flan was much more enjoyable, smooth textured and with a rich vanilla flavor. But maybe I was just glad that I was essentially getting the dessert for only a dollar more.
Service was timid but friendly.
I had a short wait for a table, so I stopped in at the relatively new tequila bar, which offers a place for guests to try a variety of tequilas and tequila-based drinks. It's not exactly attached to the restaurant, but it offers a bar and lounge setting that was long missing from San Angel Inn. (The classic margarita is just fine, by the way, although something is missing in a drink served in a plastic cup.)
By the way, the Cantina de San Angel, the outdoor venue next to the World Showcase lagoon at the Mexico pavilion, is currently undergoing renovations (I think the technical term is demolition). In its stead, the rather elaborate kiosk from the Food and Wine Festival remains for those needing a quick taco or a walk-away margarita.

Saturday 28 Feb 2015
By Martha Lufkin. Web onlyPublished online: 16 August 2010
In May, the French strategic committee monitoring a new charitable fundraising technique announced the total number of entities so far created: a staggering 288. The method is new. But few are familiar with the device. And some professionals are uncertain to how to proceed. In any event, advocates of the technique, called a fonds de dotation, are hoping that this new rough equivalent in France of the US endowment fund will help French nonprofits, including arts organizations and museums, raise funds privately, just as US charities — from billion dollar universities to tiny groups pursuing small charitable purposes — have done for decades.
The new provision, enacted in 2008 as part of the Law on the Modernisation of the Economy, allows the creation of a fonds de dotation with a project or mission of "general interest". It's not an institution, the government explains, but a financing tool. On the other hand, it's an entity with full legal rights, so it can own assets and enter into contracts such as hiring employees. Tax benefits apply to donors and the fund itself. The device was introduced to spur growth in private fundraising because of the slowness of the French to embrace fundraising possibilities. Even after a new French law was enacted in 1987 to allow private foundations, by 2008, only 3,000 foundations had been created — a mere 20 per year.In contrast to this, fonds are advancing at lightning speed: about 20 per month, the committee reported in May. One advocate from the start was the Louvre Museum, which created a fund in 2009. Under the French foundations law, foundations are more strictly monitored by the authorities; among other requirements, the government must determine that a foundation's mission has "public utility." The rules for the new fonds are a quantum leap simpler. "There is less control by the state," Anne-Sophie Nardon, an art lawyer at Borghese-Associés, Paris, told The Art Newspaper. "You declare that your mission is of general interest; the requirements are lessened overall. If you want to raise funds for an exhibit, you can do so through a fonds, with no authorization required from a government body." The fonds de dotation device can be used "to let donors earmark gifts for a specific project," Kathie Claret, a lawyer in Paris and member of the art law team at Bryan Cave LLP, told The Art Newspaper. The fund is "easy to set up and relatively easy to dissolve. If a donor wanted to make a gift to the new museum that the Louvre is opening in Abu Dhabi, the Louvre could create a fonds specifically for the Abu Dhabi museum; it would even be possible to set up a fund specifically for the purchase of contemporary Arab paintings for the Abu Dhabi museum. That way the donor knows where his money is going; it is not just going to the Louvre" for an unknown purpose. While French law provides tax benefits for donations to nonprofits, "the problem has been knowing how to raise the funds," Corinne Hershkovitch, a Paris art lawyer also at Borghese-Associés, told The Art Newspaper. A fonds is now the way to do it. When the government unveiled the device, it announced four key characteristics: it was to be new, simple, secure and attractive. To create a fonds, its bylaws are deposited at the prefecture, and a declaration is published in the Journal Officiel. While the mission must be of "general interest," a fonds can be targeted at a specific project. Any individual or legal entity, or even an assemblage of both, can create a fund, of whatever duration they want. While in principal the fund's capital is not to be consumed, it can actually be consumed, which may be the whole point of the fundraising, if its bylaws permit this. The fonds can be created with some money, or with no money at all, with funds to be added later. In contrast, a minimum of €1 million is required to launch a French foundation – a rule which would wipe out many small charities in the US. For simplicity, few governance rules apply. The board of directors must have three members at least. An auditor is required if the income at year-end exceeds €10,000. And an investment committee is required, if the endowment exceeds €1 million. For security, the law requires that the board of directors annually approve a profit and loss account, balance sheet, financial activity report and schedule of how the funds were used. If income exceeds €10,000, the auditor must certify the accounts and perform other checks. Rules limit what a fonds may invest in. Transparency is also required: anyone can examine the bylaws, and annual accounts are to be published.

ASHLAND, Ore. — The wading pool at Daniel Meyer pool in Ashland is being paved over due to health concerns. The Ashland Parks and Recreation Department said this will be a fairly quick and easy process.
Due to recent health code updates, the pool is not meeting sanitation standards. Since the kiddie pool is typically used by toddlers and young children, it must have higher levels of sanitizer. However, the wading pool and the general use pool share a water circulation system, and this makes it difficult to maintain required sanitation levels.
"The main issue is if a contaminate is introduced in this pool that it will go to the pump and filtration system, which will basically intermingle with the rest of the water that is being reticulated throughout the facility," said Lonny Flora, Ashland's recreation coordinator.
The wading pool has been shut down for short periods of time because of health concerns in the past.

I'm trying to prepare myself to start CCWing and with the rules at gun ranges prohibiting realistic practice, I was wondering where y'all shoot and if you could give me some advice on where it is legal to shoot. I know I asked a similar question before, and y'all said outside city limits would be OK, but how do I find out where lands open to the public are and if they allow firearms? I know in FL that *legally* most places can't prohibit me from shooting unless they are mentioned in the state CC laws, but I don't want the head ache of dealing with anti-gun people anyway.
Also, does anyone here compete in the IDPA? Is it good self-defense practice?

EAST African countries risk not attaining the millennium development goal (MDG) on universal treatment of people living with HIV and AIDS, malaria and other diseases if the region's parliament adopts the anti-counterfeits policy and bill currently under consideration.
Civil society representatives, government officials and intellectual property experts warn that the region would not meet MDG six if it adopted the proposed policy and bill as they would block the production and importation of generic medicines used by healthcare services to treat diseases. The countries affected are Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and Kenya.
The draft bill and policy could erode recent gains in the scaling up treatment of people living with HIV and AIDS, said Tenu Avafia, policy specialist on intellectual property, trade and HIV and AIDS at the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
He spoke to IPS at a regional meeting hosted by the Open Society Institute, Health Action International Africa (HAI Africa) and the UNDP last week to discuss the proliferation of anti-counterfeit goods legislation in the East African Community (EAC) and its implications for public health and development.
"In the last four or five years we have made great strides in scaling up treatment. We managed to have three million people globally on treatment by 2007. By the end of last year there were four million people on treatment. To have legislation that would restrict use of generic medicines in the region, particularly ARVS (antiretrovirals), would have the effect of stifling the great progress that has been made on MDG six," he said.
MDG six aims at halting the spread of HIV and AIDS by 2015 and achieve universal access to treatment for HIV and AIDS by 2010. It also aims at halting and reversing the spread of malaria and tuberculosis by 2015.
Avafia told IPS that the Anti-Counterfeit Act of 2008 in Kenya, the Counterfeit Goods Bill in Uganda and now the EAC Anti-Counterfeits Bill would cause public health problems by limiting local production and importation of generic medicines.
"Apart from HIV and AIDS, we also feel that there are other health-related MDGs of which the attainment could possibly be endangered by legislation that impede access to medicines," he added.
Sangeeta Shashikant, a legal advisor with Third World Network (TWN), told IPS that the EAC bill seems to reduce every generic medical product to a counterfeit. "The definition states (counterfeits) are substantially identical copies of the protected goods (produced) without the authority of the owner of the intellectual property rights of the protected goods. This is dangerous for countries that depend on generics in the health care system" she said. TWN is "an independent non-profit international network of organisations and individuals involved in issues relating to development, Third World and North-South affairs".
This definition flies in the face of the gains won by developing countries in the World Trade Organisation's Doha Declaration that confirmed the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreement's allowance of parallel importation to address public health problems. Parallel importation involves the importation of non-pirated goods without the permission of the copyright holder.
According to the World Health Organisation, "the rationale for parallel importation is to enable the import of lower priced patented products. Parallel importing can be an important tool enabling access to affordable medicines because there are substantial price differences between the same pharmaceutical product sold in different markets".
Christa Cepuch, director with HAI Africa based in Nairobi, "the issue of access to medicines is essential to the response to HIV and AIDS. Instead of building on with the progress so far, these laws are now putting up barriers to accessing generics which have been a backbone to HIV treatment in Kenya and East Africa at large," she explained. HAI Africa is a network of organisations and individuals involved in health and pharmaceutical issues that uphold health as a fundamental human right.
Dr. Thomas Walter, project manager for TRIPS and pharmaceutical promotion in East Africa at the Deutsche Gesellschaft for Technische Zusammenarbeiten (GTZ), said "barring generic medicines by defining them as counterfeits will be a disaster in terms of access to medicines and also for the local manufacturers whom we are supporting to go more into generic medicine. The bill has to be adjusted." GTZ is an organisation that has a mandate from the German government to promote capacity building in developing countries.

04.05.04 - Canadian Super Middleweight champion Mark Woolnough (13-3-1, 4 kos) will face Jose Spearman (20-7-2, 8 kos) in the main event at the Emerald Queen Casinos Battle at the Boat Boxing Series. Woolnough, the current Canadian Super Middleweight champion, has strung together six straight wins including his last three at the Battle at the Boat Series. It will be his first main event at the Emerald Queen. Mark is a crowd pleaser and he deserves to main event here, said promoter Brian Halquist. He has fought for us seven times on the undercard and now he gets a chance to shine. Woolnough will face Jose Spearman from Lexington, Kentucky in the ten rounder. Jose is a very tough fighter, said Halquist. Joses losses have been to very tough fighters. The Northwest boxing fans are in for a treat with this fight, Halquist said. The semi-main event will feature undefeated cruiserweight Chad Van Sickle (16-0-2) who will try to continue his unblemished record against Eric Star (11-12-2) from Hillsborough, North Carolina. Star went eight rounds with top ten ranked Ravea Springs earlier this month, Halquist commented. If Chad wins this fight, he has been approved to fight the vacant WBA Americas title in July. Chad will take a big step up in competition for that fight but he must get past Star first, Halquist said. There will be seven fights with forty scheduled rounds for the 29th installment of the Battle series. Fights start at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $75-$40-$20 and are available at Ticketmaster, the Emerald Queen Casino gift shop or by calling Brian Halquist Productions at 253-564-2090.

Leighton Meester arrives at for Christian Dior''s spring-summer 2012 ready-to-wear collection presented Friday, Sept.30, 2011 in Paris.
Once a magnet for stars and a spectacle for all involved, Jacobs' shows have been more tame in recent years, allowing the focus to remain firmly on the clothes, as opposed to the star-studded front row.
But a few A-listers did turn up Monday night. Among them: Whoopi Goldberg, Martha Stewart and Gossip Girl Leighton Meester (pictured here).
The Gossip Girls are on the scene at Sunday night's Emmy broadcast. Blake Lively, left, and Leighton Meester put away their school gear to present the award for outstanding directing for a comedy series.
Leighton Meester: The Gossip Girl starlet Leighton chose Bottega Veneta's Bianco chiffon evening gown and Carminio crocodile knot clutch. "I like the dress, but I didn't love the dress," says Rubenstein of her white grecian-style knotted number. "I thought she looked good in the white, but it was a little complicated in the back."
Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester walks the runway at Marshalls' Shop 'Til It Stops event Thursday in New York.

GOP jumps the opening gavel, but Dems won't be far behind.
Two hundred forty six bills will be introduced into the State Senate Tuesday and Assistant Senate Secretaries Michael Linn and Colleen Pacheco wanted to make sure that process ran smoothly Monday, Feb. 24, 2014, hours before the State Legislature reconvened.
Even before Tuesday's opening of the 2014 legislative session, the fight over tax breaks was already on center stage at the Minnesota Capitol.
House Republicans tried to make the first move Monday, calling a Capitol news conference to press for more than $270 million in tax breaks for parents of adopted children, married couples and those who lost their homes to foreclosure. DFLers plan to introduce their own measures on similar tax breaks.
"It's trying to get back to Minnesota Nice, rather than Minnesota Nasty," said state Rep. Greg Davids, a Preston Republican who is the ranking GOP member on the House Taxes Committee.
As the session unfolds Tuesday, the fight over tax relief is expected to be a defining battle, particularly with the state sitting on a projected budget surplus of close to $1 billion. The session already is tinged with election-year politics as the DFL is hoping to hold control of the House and Republicans are trying to wrestle it away.
Legislators in favor of providing tax relief face an excruciatingly tight deadline as Tax Day is a little more than a month away and both parties hope to make some of the tax breaks retroactive, which could save Minnesotans millions.
House Democrats are planning to use a giant chunk of the first day of the session to begin plowing through more than a dozen tax-relief proposals, including several sponsored by Republicans.
"This really is a top priority for us," said House Taxes Committee Chairwoman Ann Lenczewski, DFL-Bloomington.
The tax bill could be a rare area where both sides can find agreement in a year where each party would like a share of the credit for giving money back to taxpayers.
DFL and Republican tax-reduction proposals are quite similar, with both sides also supporting an end to the so-called marriage penalty, in which married couples pay more income tax than if they were single.
There is also wide agreement that the state should mirror federal tax law on home foreclosures.
Under current state tax law, homeowners who lose their homes to foreclosure or a short sale must count the amount the bank loses in the deal as income. Former homeowners already in the midst of crushing financial hardship can suddenly face a state tax bill of several thousands of dollars.
Davids and other Republicans would likely support a tax-relief package that includes many of these provisions that would conform to federal tax law.
"If it is still meaningful tax relief, I would lean heavily to support it," Davids said. "If I don't get every item on my list, I am not going to take my toys and go home."
Lenczewski said she remains skeptical that Republicans will join them.
"Last year we did not have bipartisan support on our federal tax conformity proposal, but I hope this year we can work together to pass middle-class tax cuts," she said.
DFLers also noted that Davids did not press for these same tax breaks three years ago, when Republicans controlled the House and Davids chaired the tax committee.
Davids said the proposed tax cuts were not possible then, as the state faced a multibillion-dollar deficit. Because tax cuts take money out of the state treasury, they are counted as spending.
Prince offered samples of a funky new solo album during an intimate late-night preview. He didn't mention the album's title or release date, but he did express frustration with the slow-grinding wheels of the record business.

First To Review:
Shane M.
0 3 28 Dec 4, 2009 I love going to Coronado Island. First off it's not really an island, but that doesn't matter its still a great place. The first thing you want to do is go to the Beach right in front of Hotel Coronado. It is a beautiful , clean and safe beach. If your really wanting to get away , but not to far away you should stay for the weekend or even one night. I heard there is a haunted room at the Hotel Coronado...spooky. If you love to ride you bike along the beach , well you may have found the mecca of all beach riding trails out there. The bike paths stretch for miles and in some cases you will find your self all alone...thats how long the paths are. If your looking for a great place to eat try Peohe's, it's on the other side of the "island" which is about 2 miles if that. It's sorta like a Hawaiian Fusion restaurant....Try the Onion rings made from sweet Maui onions! Love em! Not only do you get a great meal, but if you sit out side you get a great view of downtown San Diego. 0 28 16 Dec 22, 2009 Coronado Island is a must see destination if you plan to visit the San Diego area. Of particular importance is the Hotel Del Coronado. Locals call it Hotel Del. It is extremely beautiful and has a great restaurant. It is also one of the oldest buildings in San Diego, and the largest wooden structure in the United States. The Del sits on the beach and is located near great restaurants, a golf course, and the San Diego Bay. Personally, I like to go kayaking nearby. On days when the water is rough I hit the bay. When the waves are small I pummel through and go out into the ocean. Aug 21, 2008 From one side of the island you can see the skyline of SD down town. Therefore, I recommend you to go there by night...it's just fantastic but also during the day on the other side there is a beautiful beach. You can also find an interesting building, which is a hotel that was the first one having elecricity in SD. 0 16 8 Dec 22, 2009 The Hotel Del Coronado is lovely in an old-fashioned way. Marilyn Monroe made a movie there, and the rooms have been updated. It is haunted; don't venture down hallways late at night unless you want to change your underwear. Photos taken at the the Del and on its beach don't do it justice. Aug 28, 2009 Beautiful island across from the downtown island. Variety of shops, restaurants and has one of the most beautiful beaches in the city. Take the $2 ferry from the downtown harbor to the Coronado farmers market on Tuesdays! Related Links

Up For Debate: Sustainable Food
One critic argues that food choices do little to help the planet — or others.
Brought to you by Liberty Mutual's
The Responsibility Project
If you think you're doing the right thing by making politically correct food choices, think again, says a provocative article posted at NPR.org from Foreign Policy magazine.
"Attention Whole Foods shoppers," writes political science professor Robert Paarlberg, "Stop obsessing about arugula. Your 'sustainable' mantra—organic, local, and slow—is no recipe for saving the world's hungry millions."
Rural Africa has the same organic, local, and slow system, Paarlberg says, "and it doesn't work." He argues that food in much of Africa is "de facto organic" since few farmers use synthetic chemical fertilizer; it's "local" due to high transportation costs; and it's "painfully slow" in preparation. "The result is nothing to celebrate," the professor says, creating a one-in-three chance of being malnourished.
We're "full of good intentions," Paarlberg says. "We want to save the planet. Help local farmers. Fight climate change—and childhood obesity." But the idea that changing our shopping and eating habits will help others has been "wildly oversold to Western consumers," he says. Hence, his tough love/tough luck message: "If we are going to get serious about solving global hunger, we need to de-romanticize our view of preindustrial food and farming. And that means learning to appreciate the modern, science-intensive, and highly capitalized agricultural system we've developed in the West."
Do you think Paarlberg has a point?

Did Hell Freeze? New Times Gets Shout-Out From State Agency
Watch out, the government is paying attention. |
But a recent issue of The PIP Source -- an unabashedly geeky newsletter put out by
You might want to check out this article, written by
Lisa Rab and published by the Miami New Times, called Crash Course: 411-Pain Network will line their pockets with your insurance money. It details the workings of an attorney referral service operated bya chiropractor in South Florida. Here is a quote from the article regarding the commercial with the actor portraying a police officer - "The commercial's message is simple. It tempts viewers with $10,000 but never explains that the doctors and lawyers, not the patient,will get the money." It is an informative article, including the following information - "In the past dozen years, the company has spent more than $13.2 million on advertising, according to court documents. More than 250,000 people"like" 411-PAIN's Facebook page." Take some time to read it.
Ah, swoon.
Still, it's good to know a government agency is taking an interest in 411-PAIN. Perhaps the Division of Insurance Fraud will bring us some more headlines about the company soon.
