(KMOV.com) -- Friday, President Obama and Republicans will meet on the last possible day to avoid massive spending cuts by the federal government.
As a consequence of those cuts, Federal officials have targeted the control tower at the St. Louis Regional Airport in Bethalto for possible closure.
The Bethalto location is the only airport in the area facing cuts and officials are keeping their fingers crossed the spending cuts can still be stopped.
There are only five controllers that work at St. Louis Regional Airport, but the airport manager says losing them is a safety concern.
"The impact, it kind of becomes a risk management exercise," said David Miller.
Miller feels so strongly about it, he wrote to one congressman saying cutting the controllers would dilute aviation safety at the airport; which borders neighborhoods on two sides.
If the tower controllers are gone, landing and taking off will be up to the pilots, who must announce their plans on the radio and hope any other pilots in the area hear it.
"You've got more airplanes flying in the blind making radio transmissions in the blind and not having that extra set of eyes and ears on ground with a radio to say we have traffic four o'clock, 200 feet below," Miller said.
The airport moslty handles corporate jets and military aircraft, and Miller says losing the tower on April 1 will also likely hurt the airport economically as more pilots avoid it because of safety concerns.

bastion shield
The new shield animation/graphic is too big. They were small domes over them before. These or so huge you can't see anything behind them.
shared this idea
1 comment
Xawrentok commented
And just as importantly - you cant see the individual turrets if they're close together.
Bastion runs 3-9 multi turrets + Heavy Turret + sentinel - often clumped in one sentinel heal radius.
try to spot and heal the damaged turret... - you cant do it!
This icon might work fine for being at medium to long range - but the engi always sees it up close.
It obscures LOS and blocks a number of interesting play styles - leaving the engi with only one.

Process of reducing the amount of data needed for storage or transmission of a given piece of information (text, graphics, video, sound, etc.), typically by use of encoding techniques. Data compression is characterized as either lossy or lossless depending on whether some data is discarded or not, respectively. Lossless compression scans the data for repetitive sequences or regions and replaces them with a single "token." For example, every occurrence of the word the or region with the colour red might be converted to $. ZIP and GIF are the most common lossless formats for text and graphics, respectively. Lossy compression is frequently used for photographs, video, and sound files where the loss of some detail is generally unnoticeable. JPEG and MPEG (see MP3) are the most common lossy formats.

Degree to which the fuel mixture in an internal-combustion engine is compressed before ignition. It is defined as the volume of the combustion chamber with the piston farthest out divided by the volume with the piston in the full-compression position (see piston and cylinder). A compression ratio of six means that the action of the piston compresses the mixture to one-sixth its original volume. A high ratio promotes efficiency but may cause engine knock.

Alexandra Burke looked every inch the glamourous star last night, as she was snapped leaving the London's Queen's Theatre in a sequinned black dress and broad grin.
But earlier that evening, the 24-year-old looked a far cry from her usually polished-self as she took to the stage for a one-off performance of popular musical Les Miserables, in aid of Children In Need's POP Goes The Musical.
The British songstress adopted the costume of a peasant during the French Revolution, donning a ragged jacket and skirt, teamed with a skirt and tatty blouse pinned in place with a tan-coloured belt.
However, after her performance, Burke emerged from the venue dressed up in a super-short figure-hugging black dress, flaunting her toned legs and her pearly whites for the paparazzi.
The 'Without You' hitmaker is currently prepping to release her third studio album for release in the US.
Check out more pictures of Alexandra Burke after her theatre performance......

text: Today, I finished the LFS book, and booted into my first linux install that I compiled myself! Since I want to go deeper, and make it a full pledged desktop environment, I headed over to the BLFS book. I know it sounds like I'm on the wrong mailing list, but stick with me. I get to a part where I have to get a patch off of the internet. I installed wget, and when I went to download the patch, I realized that I wasn't connected to the internet. So, after checking through everything, I believe I set up the network card properly, according to the LFS book. My wireless USB card is an Encore ENUWI-ZDPR. It's a cheap little thing, but it works fine on a pre-compiled distro. Anyways, on boot, I noticed it said something about the interface for wlan0 doesn't exist. (I know wlan sounds like the LAN port, but it is indeed the wireless device.) On other distro's, I have to set it up using NDIS Wrappers. I'm not sure how much that matters, but I figured it couldn't hurt to volunteer that information. So basically, even though I need the internet connection for BLFS, I messed up setting it up in LFS, thus the reason I choose this mailing list instead. Sadly, hardwiring isn't a solution, as the router is simply too far away from the computer. Thanks for the help! Also, before I forget. For /etc/resolv.conf file, what do I put in the domain line? Would that be the IP I show the world, or what would it be?

CropWorld 2010: Earlier spray may be needed for FEB control
FUNGICIDE sprays for control of fusarium ear blight may need to be applied earlier than is currently the case in order to obtain good disease control and limit production of mycotoxins.
That is according to Rothamsted Research PhD student Neil Brown, who told the CropWorld conference that during his research he had identified a substantial phase of deep, symptom-less FEB infection, which could occur within five days of infection taking place during the wheat flowering phase. During this phase infected tissue would appear healthy, with disease symptoms only occurring when host cells died and FEB hyphae penetrated the cell to scavenge remaining nutrition.
"This symptom-less infection has a profound effect on our crop protection mechanisms, as we evaluate our resistant wheat lines and evaluate the efficacy of our fungicides based on disease symptoms," he said.
The existence of a phase of symptom-less infection may explain the poor correlation between visible disease symptoms and mycotoxin contamination, said Mr Brown.
Current and new fungicides needed to be screened for their effect on reducing symptomless infection, he added. Fungicides probably needed to be applied earlier, perhaps as a pre-anthesis spray to prevent the establishment of this deep infection.
Mr Brown's research had also revealed that production of mycotoxins linked to FEB infections was higher where there was symptom-less FEB infection.
The next stage of research was to identify the drivers of symptom-less infection, which might help in targeting fungicides.
FEB control
- Symptom-less infection of FEB spreads rapidly through the plant
- Mycotoxin production is higher in symptom-less infections
- Application of fungicides needs to be before the appearance of disease symptoms
- A reliable FEB forecasting and monitoring system is required

Welcome to the School of Medicine Admissions Website
Thank you for your interest in New York Medical College. We will be updating this information as the year progresses so please check back frequently.
Click here to view our video "Great Things Are Happening Here!"
Click on the image to download the |
Admission Policy
Candidates for admission to the School of Medicine must have a broad educational background and possess the intelligence, integrity and personal and emotional characteristics necessary to become effective physicians. They must meet the School of Medicine's requirements for admission and show evidence of the capacity to successfully complete the rigorous course of study in medical school.
The Admissions Committee –- composed of members of the faculty, clinicians, and community stakeholders -- has the difficult task of selecting an entering class from thousands of applicants. There are many more applicants who meet the qualifications for the study of medicine than can be admitted to an incoming class. Multiple factors are weighed in the admissions process. The committee strives to select those candidates who demonstrate proficiency in foundational competencies the School of Medicine believes are essential for success in medical school and professional practice. These include but are not limited to pre-medical knowledge, aptitude for patient care, interpersonal and communication skills, self-directed learning and improvement, professionalism, and knowledge of the healthcare system and current healthcare issues. In addition, a candidate must have a college education that includes premedical science courses essential for medical school as well as a broad exposure to the humanities and social sciences. Academic competence to succeed in medical school is assessed by the applicant's college record, including GPA and MCAT scores. The applicant must also demonstrate evidence of those personal characteristics expected of a physician: altruism, compassion, empathy, honesty, integrity, cultural competency, and a commitment to provide care for people who are disadvantaged and underserved. As a future medical student, an applicant must demonstrate excellent observation and communication skills as well as the motor function and conceptual, integrative and quantitative skills required for the study of medicine. As a future physician, an applicant must have the physical capacity and emotional maturity to complete medical school and practice medicine independently.
The application process is competitive and each applicant is subject to an individual, holistic review. It is the policy of New York Medical College to seek to admit a diverse class, with respect to gender, race, ethnicity, cultural and economic background and life experience. The College believes that a diverse student body provides a valuable educational experience that prepares the medical student for the real world of medical practice in a multicultural society. Diversity in medicine has been shown to improve access to health care for underserved populations. Strongly motivated students from educationally deprived and historically underrepresented backgrounds are actively sought and encouraged to apply. A candidate will not be denied admission on the basis of any legally prohibited discrimination involving, but not limited to, such factors as race, color, creed, religion, national or ethnic origin, age, gender, sexual orientation or disability.

$25,000 FIRE DAMAGE IN COLORED DISTRICT Claim Republican Police Said, "They're Negroes Let 'Em Burn," As Hundreds Flee Attitude Of Party To Negro Unchanged The opposition that has been stirred up by certain leaders of the Race, including several of our preachers who were first in sympathy with the independent movement, the breaking up of the Lincoln party meetings on the streets by ruffians of the race, the ridicule and villification of those who are taking the lead in the movement by paid hirelings and the large number of police scattered about the city to encourage those who are used to break up meetings held by their own people, and the arresting and attempt at intimidating colored men seen on the streets and known as opposers of the Republican party, and especially those who are known as sympathizers or workers of the Independant party, show that the Republican machine has things well in hand and that its henchmen and all who are engaged by them as tools and otherwise are well trained to do the machine work be it dirty or a little worse. However, the police of the Republican party, Republican police have not been instructed to be any better or have any higher regards for the Negro or give any more protection to his property or to his rights as a [citizen?]. All that has been said and is [illegible] being said about the party by [illegible] who rightfully oppose it and [illegible] is being done to keep the [illegible] line, as desperate [illegible] the [illegible] in their [illegible] win the election November 8th, the Negro citizen is not treated any better and receives no more protection by the party police right in the middle of a hot political fight than he receives when there is no election in sight. In the neighborhood of Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets and Garland avenue and Kentucky streets early Sunday, with hundreds fleeing from a fire which caused a loss of more than $25,000, members of that community were amazed at the alleged words of a Republican policeman, "They're Negroes Let 'Em Burn." Charges are also made that there was great delay in answering the alarm, that water could not be obtained from the nearest fire plug, and that when the hose was first laid it was too short. Mrs. Ella Daniels Matthews, colored, who owned two houses destroyed, went to the firehouse at Twentieth street and Garland avenue Sunday morning and registered a complaint about the action of the firemen and police. The story of Mrs. Matthews is corroborated in many details by both colored and white residents of the neighborhood. Two fire engines, they say, apparently failed to work, and ten minutes later a second alarm was sounded when the blaze began leaping from house to house. Alois Arnold, vice president of A. Arnold & Sons, movers and packers whose loss is $18,000, estimated that nearly twenty minutes elapsed before the firemen got water on the fire. Fire Plug Didn't Work. Jack Parker, colored, living at 1529 Kentucky street, and Ella Matthews said that the first fire company stopped at a fire plug near the fire and after failing to get water hitched up the horses and drove a block away. This time, they said, they laid the hose too short and were obliged to turn the water off and splice on more hose. Many colored families began moving their effects, and it was then, according to the two that the policeman made his speech. The blaze started in the garage in the rear of the home of George L. Sills, 1520 Garland avenue. Here a turing car valued at $1,500 was destroyed. The big stable in the rear of the home of Alois Arnold, 1528 West Kentucky, was soon in flames and residents sounded an alarm. Four big trucks with a total value of $12,000, and a valuable touring car were destroyed, together with many tires and tools. The blaze leaped the alleyway while neighbors tore down fences. Many Homes Destroyed The homes of Pankie Roberts, Horace Grudy and James Long, colored, living in the rear of 1627, 1529 and 1531 West Kentucky street, were destroyed. Two sheds on this side of the alley and trees and grape arbors took fire. The blaze next leaped to an open place and destroyed the shed and chickenhouse of Mrs. Mary Browning, 1526 Kentucky street and burned the side of the stable of Mrs. Lena Rieger, 1624 Kentucky street. Mr. Arnold and George Sills, whose places were destroyed, Mrs. George Lodenkemper, 1515 Garland avenue, and Ray Leatherman, a resident of the neighborhood, described the actions of the firemen yesterday. Many of the residents, say an employe of the Louisville Gar and Electric Company came to the rescue of the firemen and manned one of the fire engines when the water failed to start. Delay in Answering Harry P. Akin, of 1548 Kentucky street, says the department was twenty minutes in answering the alarm. Mrs. Ben Heckman, his sister-in-law, sent in the alarm. The alarm box was pulled twice and when there was no response an alarm was sent in by telephone. Rosa Grundy, Lewis Brooks, and Ernest Beech say the department was twenty minutes getting to the fire. [Illegible] says that when the [illegible] too short and had to be unspliced and laid again. This is the kind of service given colored people in a colored community, the most loyal group of the Republican party in Louisville and Kentucky, and yet some of these people, perhaps and others will continue to say the Independent party movement is wrong, they will continue to preach that the Republican party is the ship and all else the sea. But all right thinking Negroes, all those who have a spark of manhood running through their veins will go to the polls November 8th and register their disapproval by voting the straight Independent ticket. rites Interest· DE TH OF SENA icle On "The Penalty Of Ignorance " TOR KNOX LOSS UGHT 0 TULSA ' TO THE NATIO INSURRECTION KU KLUX KlA GLOWS UP

It seems that when it comes to television, almost everything he touches turns to gold. Regardless of the size of his roles, Martin Short has still become one of the most recognizable faces in comedy. He perfected the art of body humour long before fellow Canadian Jim Carrey hit the big time
Short got his big screen debut in Three Amigos, a film which starred fellow SNL alums, Chevy Chase and Steve Martin. Since then he has been on a steady roll and has continued to appear in comedic films. Martin usually appears in co-starring and supportive roles, such as the character of Franck, in Steve Martin's Father of the Bride films

Bill Goldberg Workout
Bill Goldberg was one of the most dominating wrestlers of all-time. He is famous for holding the record for the largest undefeated winning streak in professional wrestling at 173 wins. He is the first man to hold both the WCW and WWE incarnations of the Big Gold Belt. He retired from wrestling in 2004 and switched into acting. He starred in hit movie Universal Soldier 2 w/ Jean Claude Van Damme and is currently hosting a television show Garage Mahal on the DIY Network.
Goldberg is so dedicated to his training regimen that he built a 2,500 square foot gym above his garage and he gets in there at 5:30 AM. Rather than the intense heavy lifting that sported him an NFL and WWE body, he now performs maintenance-type routines when it comes to his workout training routine. Goldberg performs explosive movements such as Olympic snatches, deadlifts, and squats but uses much less weight now than he did. "I can get the same workout in with 80 lb. dumbbells now", Goldberg says in referring to his 400 pound bench press days. Goldberg is big on muscular confusion and goes into the gym with a new plan every day. in addition to weights, Goldberg performs kickboxing and does a lot of stretching. Goldberg says "a longer muscle is a stronger muscle".
Goldberg liked to switch around his workouts on a daily basis which helped
shock his muscles to new growth.
Goldberg's diet is high in protein and low in fat. He eats 12 egg whites and one yolk for breakfast along with half a pound of turkey bacon. To burn fat throughout the day, he has half a pot of coffee a day. He drinks up to 15 bottles of water a day and always makes sure to get a good night's sleep. If he doesn't get in enough sleep, then he makes sure to take naps throughout the day.
Our Take: It's important to switch around your routines and bring variety. The fact that Goldberg goes to the gym with a new plan every day is an effective way to pack on the muscle. Your body adapts to a stimulus placed on it. For example, if you do dips every single week, your body will be so used to that movement that it won't stimulate it enough. It's good to switch it up. Also, form should always take precedent over weight. Goldberg recognizes that he can get the same type of workout with less weight, so long as he focuses on squeezing the muscle and really keeping his form paramount.

Sketchy Miami Expands With Second Party at Bakehouse Art Complex
Categories: Art
Robby Campbell |
Lea Anderson |
For the first Sketchy Miami party, hundreds filled Lester's for a chance to have their faces cataloged by artists on site. This time it'll go bigger. Sketchy Party #2 will take place at the Bakehouse Art Complex, a three-acre property with more than 70 artist studios, this Friday.
"At the Bakehouse, guests will be stopping into different artists' studios, each of which is a universe unto itself. We expect this to be a more intimate experience [than Lester's], a little less crazy -- but just a little," said Jordan Melnick, editor of Beached Miami and co-founder of Sketchy Miami.
Over a dozen artists will be on hand for "flash portraits", including many whose studio "Sketchys," as they're referred to, will be sold for $30 each (cash only). Half will go to the artist, while the other half will be used to support Sketchy Miami.
"It's not chump change," said Melnick, "but these artists' work sells for hundreds and thousands of dollars, so it's a good opportunity to start or bolster your art collection for a just few Hamiltons.

"The photos and portraits are pouring in every day, so fast we can't always update the site as fast as we'd like. But even with all the momentum, we still have a ridiculously long way to go. Remember: The goal is to create a portrait of every person in Miami. The only way we'll ever get close is if artists continue to get involved, people keep submitting photos, and people keep spreading the word. I have no doubt that they will," said Melnick.
The party starts at 8 p.m. and entry is free. For more information, visit sketchymiami.com.

WOODSBORO - Lionel Brown admits he owes Woodsboro athletic director Wade Miller a haircut.
Brown has become the Eagles' unofficial barber and counts his coaches, teammates and himself among his clientele.
"I've been doing it since I was little," Brown said. "I wasn't getting haircuts, and I didn't want to wait until my mom took me to the barber. I just got some clippers and started cutting my own hair. I'm all right at it, I guess."
Brown has momentarily put the shears away while he attempts to do some styling of a different kind.
Brown has qualified for the UIL Class 1A, Division I State Track and Field Meet in three events.
Brown will join his Woodsboro teammates in the 400- and 800-meter relays, and he will triple jump Saturday at Mike A. Myers Stadium in Austin.
Brown's running ability is obvious to anyone who watched him lead the Eagles to the area playoffs while playing quarterback and in the secondary.
But his experience with triple jumping doesn't come close to the amount of time he's spent cutting hair, even though he's been just as successful.
Brown qualified for the state meet in the triple jump by setting a Region IV-1A Division I record of 46-1/2 inch in the event.
Not bad for someone who had never triple jumped in his life until a week before the District 31-1A, Division I meet.
"I made a bet with (teammate) Andy Villarreal and said I could beat him," Brown said. "I told him if I jumped better than him, I would jump at the district meet."
Brown won the district meet with a leap of 42-4 and made a slight change in his jumping mark at the regional meet.
"We gave him a little longer stride," said Woodsboro jumping coach Craig Summers. "We moved it back about a foot and a half so he could hit it a little bit better. It seemed to work perfect. I mean, he hit it perfect, so what the heck."
Brown's swift progress in the triple jump has not come as a total surprise to his coach.
"He's just a good athlete," Summers said. "They just decided to let him try it right before district, and being a great athlete, he came on over to the pit and started on basics. First phase, second phase and right on in the pit. He caught on pretty good."
Brown goes into the state meet as the second seed behind Stamford's James Washington, who had a jump of 46-7 at the regional meet.
But Summers isn't ruling anything out.
"I don't see any problem," Summers said. "He loves to compete. I know that. We were talking about it, and he even said, 'Coach, I thought maybe a 44 and not a 46.' I didn't think so either. But he hit it perfect, so maybe he can do another one this week."
Brown's progress in the triple jump could force him to delay plans to cut hair for a living. But he doesn't seem to mind.
"Triple jumping's pretty fun," Brown said. "A little heavy on your shin splints, but pretty fun."

Pressure for higher minimum wages in Bangladesh
This BBC news video looks at demands for better pay among the three million or more workers (the majority of whom are women) who work in garment factories in Bangladesh. The country has over 4,000 textile factories and has become one of the world's biggest exporters of clothing. But for many the jobs available offer long hours and very low pay of around $25 dollars a week - the trade unions are lobbying for average wages three times this figure. Will it threaten the competitive advantage of Bangladeshi producers looking to hold onto contracts from many western buyers?
The video is a good resource to use when teaching aspects of labour markets and globalisation in developing countries
Ethiopia's electronic market place
Coffee is a lifeline for twelve million farmers in Ethopia who are vulnerable to volatile world prices and the monopsony power of the major coffee roasting businesses. But this heart-warming report from Jonathan Dimbleby finds that a new electronic trading system is providing a superb market place for the setting of prices - connected instantaneously to the world commodities market.
Prices agreed on the Ethiopian trading floor are transmitted round the world and the farmer is guaranteed payment within 24 hours. Since the exchange was launched over $400m has been traded without a single dollar of default. Farmers are getting the price that is agreed on the open-outcry market platform. Technology as a support to the problems of real people - outstanding.
Life in North Korea - a remarkable BBC report
Sue Lloyd-Roberts has produced some remarkable reports for television over the years. Few can be as impressive as the ones available on BBC Our World and BBC Newsnight tracking her time in North Korea. She tries to gain an insight into the daily existence of people in North Korea and, despite the constant presence of government minders and security officials, she discovers private markets which for many can be the difference between a meagre life and starvation. The North Korean authorities refuse to acknowledge the existence of these markets but they are the inevitable result of the complete failure of the state planning system. She meets some North Korean defectors who are still coming to terms with the ultimate culture shock.
These video reports are remarkable and will make ideal teaching resources when discussing economic systems, living standards and markets.

Dragon's Den star Theo Paphitis follows the fortunes of brave and bold British companies trying to expand in three of the world's most dynamic emerging markets - India, Brazil and Vietnam. While Britain is still stuck in a recession, these economies are booming. There couldn't be a better time than now for British businesses to seize these opportunities in some of the world's fastest-expanding but risky markets - but how easy is it going to be?
Tonight Theo begins in Vietnam and it looks like a series that will be full of development and business economics.

World Bank throws open it's development data!
An important moment and a great boon for teachers and students of development economics. The World Bank has made the 2010 Human Development Data available to all - here World Bank President Robert B. Zoellick speaks about the Bank's new open data initiative. And here is the link to the development data and all of the macro data contained in the global economic monitor. A remarkable and generous gesture from the World Bank.
Muhammad Yunus - The Social Business Model
Social business is a cause-driven business. In a social business, the investors/owners can gradually recoup the money invested, but cannot take any dividend beyond that point. The purpose of the investment is purely to achieve one or more social objectives through the operation of the business, no personal gain is desired by the investors. The company must cover all costs and can make profit, at the same time achieving the social objective that it set out to achieve i.e healthcare for the poor, housing for the poor, financial services for the poor, nutrition for malnourished children, providing safe drinking water, introducing renewable energy.
Drinking Water
The Economist Daily Chart is always an excellent source of data, especially in terms of development economics.
read more...»Human Fish
Following on this morning's development theme another fascinating video clip from the BBC. One of the key factors behind economic development, from an institutional economics perspective, is the improvement and expansion of a country's infrastructure. In Nigeria the quest for infrastructure growth seems never ending, especially in the financial capital Largos. To ensure that this rapid expansion can take place large quantities of sand are needed, to meet the demand for sand constructors have turned to 'human fish', men who dive to the bottom of the sea to dredge for lucrative commodity. A clip well worth watching.
Sengal's Fisherman
A good development economics article on the BBC website today. The Senegalese fishing industry is being hard hit by the invasion of foreign boats to their waters. Stocks are being depleted despite government regulation and local fishing towns are suffering significant drops in revenue. The classic development barrier of poor infrastructure is limiting fishermen's ability to sell the fish that they do catch in more lucrative urban markets. A topical example to use in your development answers.
The Final Countdown
The pressure is really on now with the final IB Economics papers only a matter of weeks away. During the coming weeks I will be posting daily revision blogs for both Higher and Standard level candidates. These will be a mixture of quizzes, presentations and revision sheets to aid your preparation. I will also be linking current economic news stories to the IB syllabus, remember that your examiners will be looking for your economic theory to be backed up by lots of real world examples. Do get in touch with any topics you would especially like covered, I will endeavour though to cover theory from all sections of the course.
Introducing free trade, protectionism and globalisation.
This 14 minute video from Alex Tabarrok will get students into a great discussion on free trade and protectionism and is an excellent resource to refer back to when teaching tariffs and quotas and then globalisation.

Here is a streamed version of the presentation I gave to the Hong Kong CPD day, focusing on how IB Economics students can improve their evaluation skills:
Nearly thirty of China's smaller hi-tech but potentially fast growing businesses have been granted permission to list shares on a newly created stock market - it is already being called China's Nasdaq index. This BBC video covers the launch and highlights some of the risks for investors looking to buy shares in these companies. What role can a stock market have in stimulating investment and economic growth and development? What are the risks?
HDI for selected countries
The Economist chose the release of new data on the Human Development Index as the subject of its chart of the day - available here together with a short commentary. It would make an excellent chart to use as part of a teaching handout.
"Mozambique has improved the most, scoring almost 50% higher in the 2007 index than it did in 1990. Many other African countries have also seen increases in their quality of life"
More here from the United Nations Development Programme
Supply problems in Ivory Coast drive cocoa prices higher
There is an excellent article in the Times today about the surge in the world price of cocoa. Cocoa prices have hit a 30-year high as poor weather threatens to drive the price of chocolate up again for Western consumers. Cocoa has reached $3,412 a tonne in New York as concerns deepened about demand outstripping supply for the first time since 1968. This is a really good article to use to consolidate students' understanding of how shifts in supply and demand can lead to price volatility. And also the importance of price elasticity of demand and supply in shaping price changes.
"The surge in price also indicates that cocoa is increasingly being used for financial investment rather than merely sold to industry"
* What factors are limiting cocoa supply?
* Why is demand from western economies rising - even though many are still in recession?
* Will cocoa farmersd necessarily gain from higher world prices?
Surge in Chinese growth as domestic demand takes priority
China's leaders have set ambitious targets for economic growth - with an aim of reaching 8% growth of real GDP in 2009, a year in which world trade has shrunk and much of the developed world has been mired in recession. An enormous stimulus programme seems to be having an effect with the latest data showing a pick up in output and annualised growth of GDP climbing above 8.5%. Exports remain weak and many Chinese manufacturers are finding that the prices they are able to get from advanced economy importers continues to fall - the terms of trade have moved against them. Lifting domestic demand has become a key macroeconomic objective for the Chinese government. China has poured £354billion into spending on infrastructure in order to boost its domestic economy as exports have suffered.
This BBC news video reports on the latest Chinese growth figures.
The importance of capital spending to the Chinese economy is shown by the latest GDP figures. Investment contributed 7.3 percentage points to headline growth of 7.7 percent, and consumption accounted for 4.0 percentage points. Net exports subtracted 3.6 percentage points reflecting the weakness of external demand for China's manufactured products.

IT infrastructure and economic development
Access to and the speed and reliability of broadband infrastructure is one of the key institutional factors that impact on economic development. The lack of an affordable and cost-effective broadband network can be a huge barrier to economic growth especially in an age where companies in many rich countries are looking to outsource their back office and call centre services to countries where operating costs are lowest. The 2009 UNCTAD Information Economy Report provides a wealth of background information on the global digital divide. According to the latest report, businesses and consumers are 200 times more likely to have access to broadband in developed countries than in the poorest Least Developed Countries (LDCs). And the monthly cost of broadband access varies to an incredible degree - from over $1,300 a month in Burkina Faso, the Central African Republic to less than $13 in Egypt.

BBC Radio's Global Business this week sees Peter Day in conversation with Professor Paul Romer from Stanford University, Paul Romer is an expert in the causes of long run run growth and his current focus is on the economics of new cities in developed and developing countries. It is a programme well worth listening to, Romer is tremendously optimistic about the opportunities created by faster economic growth - especially growth built around innovation and appropriate rules systems.
Long run growth is closely asscociated with the discovery / implementation of new ideas
1/ technologies
2/ rules that govern how people interact and how the economy works
The two are closely inter-connected - Social rules often hold back the potential in new technology
Is growth good?
New technologies are potentially harmful if not accompanied by rules that make growth sustainable e.g. that limit pollution and over-fishing. Rules that put the right price on fuel and on carbon. Rules that set minimum standards for water quality and sanitation. Rules (or general principles on what types of transport are allowed and the size and pattern of properties).
Devices are getting smaller and using less energy per unit of output - this kind of growth that has a huge human value does not necessarily destroy the natural environment.
Cities 2.0
Romer's current project is about building brand new cities - the entry of new cities that can be designed with very different sets of rules about transport patterns, density patterns and use of carbon.
In the developing world there are many new cities that will have to be built - this is an enormous opportunity. Successful cities are hubs of creative activity and chaotic innovation. But the framework of rules for new cities becomes even more important - government sets the framework of rules, the private sector operates within these rules. Rules can be enforced by law or by social custom.
The internet will ultimately speed up innovation in physical technologies and this leads Romer to be optimistic on sustainable growth. We will always face trade-offs, compromises and limits to consume less energy per unit of income. We face resource constraints and these will become ever more apparent as global living standards rise - but this will not stop progress. Indeed the price mechanism may accelerate experimentation, innovation and progress in finding some solutions to environmental crises.
Economic growth is ok if you have the right rules - more value, higher quality of life, more time with the kids, better investment in the things we care about.

Sugar prices and the terms of trade for exporters
World sugar prices are close to a 30 year high with values on the Chicago mercantile exchange hovering just under $30c per pound. For countries whose sugar exports account for a large proportion of their export earnings, the steep increase in world prices has brought about an improvement in their terms of trade and - because demand for many foodstuffs is price inelastic, a favourable change in their balance of trade. A good example of this is the African country of Mozambique, a nation almost destroyed by a long running civil war that eventually ended in the early 1990s but which has also been hit in recent years by severes drought hit many central and southern parts of the country, including previously flood-stricken areas. And where half of the population must survive on less than $1 a day.
This BBC news article reports that Mozambique's government is planning to almost double its annual sugar production following soaring sugar prices and an abundance of available arable land. Helped by free access to the lucrative EU single market under the Everything But Arms (EBA) initiative, the issue is whether the sugar growing industry can scale up sufficiently to take advantage of a period of high prices to drive higher production, exports and lift average incomes for the thousands directly or indirectly employed by the sugar sector.
Sugar prices are inherently volatile and this poses big risks for investors in new supply capacity. Political risks and fluctuations in exchange rates must also be taken into account as Mozambique exports most of her sugar to European and American markets. In recent months the Mozambique currency has appreciated a little against the dollar which may make it slightly harder to sell sugar into US markets. But a weak currency against the Euro together with favourable trade arrangements is making Europe a good bet for a country desperate for higher foreign exchange earnings to boost her development.

Brazil taxes hot money to control her currency
Carl Mortished's excellent world business briefing in the Times today covers developments in the Brazilian economy. Huge inflows of foreign direct investment have helped to drive their currency higher and the Brazilian Finance Ministry has responded with a 2 per cent capital tax on foreign 'hot money' inflows into stocks and bonds. The article suggests that Brazil might be better off in the long run by cutting import tariffs on capital goods thus reducing the price of imports of hi-tech machinery that will give her economy a major supply-side boost. In contrast to China, Brazil exports a relatively low percentage of her national output and it is largely self sufficient. The country has enjoyed a significant improvement in her terms of trade with strong world prices for many of her key exported commodites such as iron ore, coffee and orange juice. The boom in commodity exports has helped to increase the real purchasing power of millions of Brazil's poorest people but a huge amount remains to be done and income and wealth inequalities are vast.
"Brazil is not China; it does not trade that much. Where China's motor is manufacturing exports, Brazil is largely a self-sufficient economy, more like the United States, with a vast hinterland of eager, albeit poor, consumers."

The Indian seafood industry is under threat after demand from the US and Europe has fallen.

Fishing ports along the east Indian coast are felling the effects. Trawlers and their crews are are now looking for alternative forms of employment. Amazingly there are 10 million Indians employed in the seafood exporting sector. There is clearly much at stake.

Questions on screening
My wife and I are looking for a way to screen our backyard from our neighbors in back of us. We really want to go natural and have been trying to decide what type of hedge to use. I have read that bamboo is fast growing and we really love the look as well. We would really like something fast growing though. Our neighbors are loud and have a bunch of dogs that are constantly getting off the chain. We have a chain link fence at the moment, but that is just not cutting it. Any information on type, spacing, and rate of growth would be much appreciated. The span that we need to cover is just shy of a hundred feet.
Thank you in advance.
Bamboo is relatively fast growing, but it usually doesn't hit a real growth spurt until its third year in the ground. To cover a 100 foot space at a reasonable cost, you would probably want to plant running bamboo, as that will fill in fastest. However, because it is running, you will need to decide whether you are going to install bamboo barrier around the perimeter or whether you intend to control it by rhizome pruning (shovel and pickaxe work) once or twice a year.
In your Zone, you should be able to find quite a few species that are evergreen. You would probably be looking at bamboo in the Phyllostachys genus as these are the most commonly available hardy bamboo in the U. S. Because you will likely be planting your plants close -- maybe about 5' apart -- you will need quite a few, and that could get pricy. It would be good if you could find someone in your area whose bamboo has gotten out of control, and see if they are willing to let you remove some for free. Digging is a whole other subject, so re-post if you need advice in that area.
You should also plant several species of bamboo: bamboo flowers very infrequently (like once every 20-150 years) but, when it does, all the plants of that species will typically decline and die off over a several year period. That's why it is never a good idea to go with only one species of bamboo in a long hedge. Finally, while the bamboo will give you visual screening after a couple of years, there is no hedge that will cut down a lot on the noise from your neighbors.
I would give some serious thought as to using a spreading bamboo to help you with your obnoxious neighbors. An aggressively spreading bamboo that will eventually expand into their yard will not help the situation. If you put in a running bamboo, you really need to consider containment (both on your account and your ignorant neighbors). Some people contain runners by regular mowing, rhizome barriers, digging trenches and/or regular pruning of the rhizome--if all else fails you could always move. Keep in mind though that even bamboo will take a few years to take off and really establish a grove. Also, have you ever been in a mature bamboo grove of Phyllostachys? It's not like they are impenetrable to either dogs or humans--you could run through a grove of timber Phyllostachys as most of the foliage is well above your head. So, if you go with a running bamboo, I would suggest a medium or shorter growing bamboo--maybe Pseudosasa japonica. They form a nice hedge, are denser and even more manageable than the taller Phyllostachys. I have just started growing clumping bamboos (Fargesia and Borinda) but they seem to be much slower growing than Phyllostachys. Bamboo may be an option you you but there are others (Barberry for example). I personally don't like the Barberry for the thorns but a bit of research based on your growing conditions (sunlight, soil, etc) might yield alternatives to bamboo. I've used any of the following for "privacy hedges" with success: Photinia "red tip", Rhododendron, Holly, Canadian Hemlock, Privet, Boxwood, Taxus (yews), Magnolia grandiflora, in addition to Phyllostachys (vivax, viridis, nigra, and aurea) If the shrubs/trees you select are tall enough though they WILL help to cut down on the noise from your neighbors.

SALEM, Ore. — Gov. Kitzhaber declared a drought emergency in Jackson County on Tuesday, according to a press release sent out by the Governor. Jackson County Commissioners requested the emergency declaration this spring, and the State Drought council considered the county's request by weighing current water conditions, future climate forecasts, and agricultural impacts.
"Historic drought conditions continue in southern Oregon, and Jackson County is the latest to reach this critical point where we are threatened with water shortages and low streamflows later this year," said Governor Kitzhaber. "We are working at the local, state, and federal levels to reduce threats to agriculture, recreation, and natural resources in the county."
The Oregon Drought Council made its recommendation to the Governor following the April meeting. The Council meets monthly to assess water conditions around the state.
The Governor's drought declaration allows increased flexibility in how water is managed to ensure that limited supplies are used as efficiently as possible. In addition, the Governor is working with Oregon's federal delegation, state agencies, local governments, and other partners to coordinate efforts and mobilize actions to address drought-related issues.
The Governor's declaration follows announcements from the U.S. Department of Agriculture that it has designated six Oregon counties as natural disaster areas due to drought. In two separate letters, including one delivered today, Secretary Tom Vilsack announced that farmers in Jackson, Klamath, Lake, Malheur, Harney, and Lane counties and in contiguous counties are eligible for assistance, including emergency loans, from the Farm Service Agency.

History of the Center
The Tecolote Recreation Center was built in 1968 on land that in the 1920's and 30's was one of the most popular motorcycle racing areas in the county. In the 50's the land was used as a dairy farm. The owner of the dairy deeded his 7.8 acres to the City to be used primarily for youth baseball activities.

Really what does it take to make someone like Brewer feel empathy and make decisions that positively impact the citizens of the state?

A right-wing millionaire who says a Palestinian state would be suicide for Israel has emerged as the surprise success story of the country's election campaign.
So much so that Naftali Bennett, a former aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who is said to have fallen out with his old boss, is now expected to face the Israeli leader across the cabinet table after the Jan. 22 election.
Opinion polls show Bennett's far-right, and revamped, Bayit Yehudi (Jewish Home) seems to appeal to many voters, predicting the party will finish third in the parliamentary election that Netanyahu is widely forecast to win.
Commentators have suggested personal relations between the two party leaders may be testy, noting that Bennett's time in Netanyahu's office ended on a sour note, though publicly both men have remained tight-lipped on the matter.
Netanyahu has been jarred by Bennett's chipping away at his Likud party's support. This week he gave radio interviews, which he rarely does, and called on his traditional supporters not to be swayed by smaller parties and to vote for him.
Dismissing as a "dead end" efforts to achieve a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Bennett wants to annex more than half of the occupied West Bank and give autonomy to Palestinians.
"Forming a Palestinian state within the Land of Israel would spell eternal strife and war and bloodshed," Bennett said in American-accented English, reminiscent of that of his former boss, Netanyahu, in an interview with Reuters.
"How would you feel if the entire world is in consensus that you need to commit suicide. Would you go ahead and commit suicide if you're sure that it is wrong?" said Bennett, the Israeli-born son of parents from San Francisco.

Steelers Report Card: Game 11 vs. Ravens
Steelers Report Card: Game 11 vs. Ravens
GERRY DULAC grades the Steelers' effort in their 21-17 loss to the Ravens yesterday: Monday, November 30, 2009 By Gerry Dulac, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Quarterback B+ It was a sterling first start for Dennis Dixon ... until the overtime interception. He passed for one TD and scored on a 24-yard run for the go-ahead TD in the fourth quarter. Dixon surprisingly was efficient in the first half, completing 8 of 10 passes for 87 yards and no interceptions. He even made a nice play-action rollout on his 33-yard TD to Santonio Holmes in the first quarter. Running backs B Rashard Mendenhall had 42 yards on 10 carries in the first half, including a 15-yarder, and finished with 90 yards on 22 carries. Willie Parker carried four times for 14 yards on the first TD drive and Carey Davis had a big 14-yard run on third-and-9 that allowed the Steelers to run out the clock in the first half. Mewelde Moore's holding penalty wiped out an 18-yard pass play. Wide receivers B- Holmes ended his drought with his first touchdown catch since the season opener -- a 33-yarder to tie the score in the second quarter. It was one of five catches for 60 yards in the first half. He also had a nice 18-yard catch-and-run for first down wiped out by a penalty. Hines Ward had three catches for 47 yards, but he got 17 after contact on a 22-yarder, his longest. Offensive line B Their most important job was creating some gaps to establish a running game, and they did that in the first half when the Steelers rushed for 70 yards on 19 carries. But a holding penalty by C Justin Hartwig wiped out Dixon's 31-yard scramble to the Ravens' 24 in the first quarter. All in all, a nice job to keep the pressure off Dixon, who was not sacked and threw just one interception, in overtime. Defensive line C+ Ray Rice gouged them with runs of 16 and 19 yards, the latter setting up the first TD, and finished with 88 yards on 19 carries -- the most by an opposing back this season. But the Ravens also used Willis McGahee and Le'Ron McClain to combine for 134 yards rushing, the most against the Steelers this season. DE Travis Kirschke had one of four sacks and Brett Keisel was disruptive. Linebackers B- Their failure to tackle Rice after a fourth-down dump pass that gained 44 yards led to the FG that forced overtime. Lawrence Timmons got out of position on several big running plays, but he had a big 11-yard sack in the third quarter and a strip sack in the fourth quarter that Keisel recovered and led to a go-ahead touchdown. LaMarr Woodley and James Farrior also had big sacks. Defensive backs D- More big pass plays for the second game in a row, and S Ryan Clark was involved again. CB William Gay got beat with a double move and Clark lost the ball on a 54-yard pass to Mark Clayton to set up the second touchdown. And they each missed tackles on Rice's 18-yard catch-and-run on third-and-12. Joe Flacco was a combined 8 for 8 for 125 yards on both of the first-half TD drives. Special teams C It probably should be considered a significant achievement that they didn't allow a kick return for touchdown after giving up four in the previous five games. But they allowed a 34-yard punt return by Chris Carr in the fourth quarter. Jeff Reed hit a big 44-yard field goal in the third quarter and Daniel Sepulveda had punts of 54 and 58 yards to give the Ravens a long field. Coaching C- Mike Tomlin's biggest coaching decision was deciding to not play Ben Roethlisberger. Give credit to offensive coordinator Bruce Arians for not putting Dixon in uncomfortable situations and easing him into the game. His call on Dixon's 24-yard touchdown run completely surprised the Ravens. But the defense failed to protect a lead in the fourth quarter again, thanks to poor tackling.

Re: Steelers Report Card: Game 11 vs. Ravens
i give the QB a "C". he may be a rookie in his first game, but you grade it on how he played in the game etc..., not on how long he has played the game.
a crucial INT and throwing for less than 50% is not a good game. i give the coaching a D. DBs - C- DL - C i guess i agree with the rest of the grades. maybe in a day or two i will change the grades

Issue Number 41 - October 25, 2007
Today's e-Outreach will discuss:
Post Closing
After an applicant attends a closing and signs their final paperwork, the appropriate documents are recorded in public records and funding is disbursed from HUD through the closing agent, either electronically into the applicant's bank account or sent to them by check to their homes.
In some instances additional work is needed on an applicant's file after they complete their closing with The Road Home program. This phase of application processing is called "Post Closing." This can include applicants who wished to dispute something on their application while still proceeding with closing, or applicants who at the closing table determined that they wished to dispute something on their application. For instance, if an applicant did not have complete documentation for their Additional Compensation Grant, this piece may not be distributed at the closing and will not be distributed until additional documentation is received and processed.
Post Closing also handles instances when additional verifications are received by The Road Home program after closing which impact an applicant's award, both negatively and positively.
To Contact the Post Closing Department
By Mail:
By e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Telephone: 1.888.401.9110 (This number is only for applicants who have already completed their first closing.)
Fax Number: 220.127.116.116
Some key information regarding the Post Closing process
1. The Road Home program began reviewing applications July 01, 2007 for Adjustment Disbursements. (No longer called 2nd Disbursements)
2. Applications are being reviewed and processed in the initial closing date order.
3. Elevation awards will remain on hold until a determination has been made by the State.
4. Additional Compensation Grant (ACG) awards will not be processed until full income documentation meeting policy requirements is received by the Post Closing Department.
5. Applicants may be asked to return to the closing agent to complete another closing for additional disbursements. This will be determined when the applicant's file has been reviewed, and the applicant will be notified by the title company whether they will be required to return to sign additional documents.
6. Appeals are also handled after the first closing. Applicants filing an appeal will receive notification from The Road Home that their appeal was received and will be informed as to whether the appeal was accepted. If accepted, the applicant will receive a response within 60 days of receipt of the appeal.
Option Changes after Closing
Applicants may elect to change from Option 1 to Option 2 or 3 after they have closed. Applicants may make this change regardless of how many Road Home closings they have completed or the number of disbursements they have received as long as the request occurs within one year of the original closing date. Some items to remember on this:
The Road Home Program Post Closing Department P.O. Box 3749 Baton Rouge, LA 70821
Upcoming Outreach Events
As Louisiana residents across the hurricane-affected areas continue through the recovery process, numerous questions arise regarding The Road Home program, its processes, and the next steps for program applicants. Applicants are encouraged to participate in outreach sessions conducted in their areas. Upcoming sessions are listed at www.road2la.org/homeowner/events.htm.

The Road Home program is designed to provide compensation to Louisiana homeowners affected by Hurricanes Katrina or Rita for the damage to their homes. This groundbreaking program represents the largest single housing recovery program in U.S. history. Working together, Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco, the Louisiana Recovery Authority and the Office of Community Development created The Road Home program with the approval of the Louisiana Legislature. The program affords eligible homeowners up to $150,000 in compensation for their losses to get back into their homes.
