A Red State Embraces Part Of Health Care Overhaul
The Supreme Court begins hearing oral arguments about the Affordable Care Act today. Guest host Jacki Lyden takes a look at how Mississippi is implementing part of the federal law, despite strong opposition to the overall plan.
Copyright © 2012 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
I'm Jacki Lyden and this is TELL ME MORE from NPR News. Michele Martin is away this week. Coming up, spring hails all sorts of lovely flowers and in Washington it brings cherry blossoms on the trees that ring the city's tidal basin. We'll share the story behind the famed cherry blossoms in a few minutes. But first, the Supreme Court opens a three-day hearing today about the Obama administration's Affordable Care Act.
The court's decision, expected by July, could uphold the law or strike it down completely or get rid of some provisions. From the beginning, several states have opposed the law as an overreach of federal authority. Mississippi and Florida are just two of them. In a moment, we'll hear from Florida's Senate president about that state's concerns about the law.
First though, we're going to talk about Mississippi, where surprisingly a health exchange called for in the Affordable Care Act could survive even if the federal law is defeated. An exchange is a system where consumers can compare costs and benefits of different insurance plans. Jeffrey Hess is a BYLINE who's covered this issue and he joins us now.
Jeffrey, welcome to the program.
JEFFREY HESS, BYLINE: Thank you, Jacki.
LYDEN: So before we talk about the insurance exchange, tell us about how many people in Mississippi would be affected?
HESS: Oh, 275,000 by the exchange alone. If you include the Medicaid expansion, you could be talking about another 150,000. Adults in Mississippi, there's almost a half a million uninsured adults. If you include children, there's about 600,000 uninsured people in the state. The expectation from experts here is that the insurance exchange and the Medicaid expansion could drop the uninsured rate from 20 percent to six or seven percent.
LYDEN: So you've got this unusual situation in Mississippi, at least when it comes to the exchange portion of the law, kind of swimming against other Southern states. Let's listen to insurance commissioner Mike Chaney. You did an interview with him. Let's listen to part of it.
MIKE CHANEY: It's important that we have an exchange that's designed by Mississippians, operated by Mississippians, for Mississippians. We don't want an exchange from the federal government that one size fits all. What may work in New York State may not work in the state of Mississippi.
LYDEN: So Jeffrey Hess, why does Commissioner Chaney believe this is so important?
HESS: Well, this is an idea that's been kicking around the state for years. I'm stretching back to the mid-2000s. I found speeches by former Governor Haley Barbour extolling the virtues of the exchange and their competitive market ability to bring down insurance rates as well as provide people an easier access point to purchase insurance, which is really complicated to buy. The state legislature has tried and failed three or four times, including in 2008, when a bill passed in the Senate.
The main hang-up not being whether or not to establish the exchange, just whether or not to have it be a private non-profit board or have the state run it. So it's something that state legislators and politicians in Mississippi have been considering for years.
LYDEN: And how will this exchange work?
HESS: Well, that's still to be determined. It is going to be a private non-profit thanks to a 2009 rule change to the state's high risk pool. The high risk pool is going to run the exchange, administer the exchange. They've got a board. It's met, I believe, twice now. The expectation is it's going to run a little more like Utah's, which is just an open market and any company can come in, instead of like Massachusetts, where the state picks out each plan that will be available on the marketplace.
That's partly due to the fact that Mississippi just does not have a lot of insurance companies that want to compete in our market. So that the more open, the better.
LYDEN: Now, Jeffrey given that you've got a Republican governor, Republican majority in the State Senate. The House just flipped for the first time since Civil War to the Republicans in Mississippi. How is Mike Chaney, your insurance commissioner, selling support for this element, at least, of the Obama administration's Affordable Care Act?
HESS: He has been, and I've seen him make this speech at least a half a dozen times to various business groups and to various political groups, a very vocal supporter of the exchange idea as a mechanism for bringing down insurance rates. He pitches it as this is a market solution where you can have a larger pool of people vying for a larger group of insurance market plans. So he's putting out there saying this isn't the government running it, and if we wait on this, it will be the federal government running this, so we need - like you heard in his soundbite, where we need Mississippians to run it.
So, he's pitching this as a market solution for Mississippians.
LYDEN: And what's Mississippi prepared to do if the act is struck down by the Supreme Court, and what is it going to do if it's upheld?
HESS: Well, the state has already taking about 20 or 22 million dollars to go ahead and set this exchange up. So as far as that's concerned, the train is on the tracks. It's something that the state has wanted. Now you've got the federal government paying for it for free. It's going to be self-sustaining once it's set up, so it's not going to cost the state anything. So why stop at that point?
You might as well just go on ahead and keep making it. The big concern, if the Supreme Court strikes down the whole law, is that the exchange is a mechanism not only for getting insurance companies and customers together but for getting federal subsidies to come to the state, and that would be in the neighborhood of $900 million dollars that would come to the state to help people pay for the premiums of insurance, which is the main reason people don't have insurance because the premiums are really expensive.
So without that premium support, even if you have an exchange, there's a question of how well it could work because you still haven't addressed the main concern for most Mississippians, which is insurance is just really expensive.
LYDEN: Jeffrey Hess is a reporter with Mississippi Public Broadcasting and he joined us from Jackson, Mississippi. Thank you very much for being with us.
HESS: Thank you.

In a gruesome incident, an auto driver allegedly killed his own children by dropping them forcibly inside a well at Nagamalai Pudukottai, near here on Monday.
Madurai Rural Police said that the auto driver Thirupathi (28) is from Vadapalanchi Ambedkar Colony. His wife Kanagavalli was working as a conservancy worker in the Madurai Kamaraj University. The couple had a boy and a girl child, aged about five and four year old.
It is learnt that Thirupathi had allegedly developed an illicit relationship with a teacher identified as Premalatha (32) of Mangalrevu in the near by locality. She was working in a school at Elumalai. It is said that the teacher, who has a child, lost her husband in a road accident a year ago. Frequent meetings between Thirupathi and Premalatha were objected to by his wife Kanagavalli, it is said.
Despite resistance, Thirupathi planned to marry Premalatha, who had reportedly laid certain conditions for the marriage.
As part of fulfilling the condition, the auto driver had killed his two children and also planned to eliminate his wife, but the issue came to light.
On a complaint, the police arrested the auto driver, Premalatha and another relative of Thirupathi, who is said to have helped him. A case of murder has been registered and further investigations are on.
Lavish lifestyle
A senior police officer said that Thirupathi owned three share auto rickshaws and spent lavishly from his earnings. He had attempted to administer poison to his children earlier, but his wife had suspected something amiss and had taken away the kids.
Later, when Kanagavalli had gone to work, he had taken the children and dropped them in the well.

Boston, MA (SportsNetwork.com) - Chris Kelly scored on a short-handed penalty shot and Patrice Bergeron added another man-down score, as the defending Eastern Conference champion Boston Bruins kicked off their 90th season with a 3-1 decision over the Tampa Bay Lightning at TD Garden.
Milan Lucic also tallied and Tuukka Rask stopped 32 shots for the Bruins, who have joined the new version of the Atlantic Division this season after 20 years in the Northeast.
"Our team's in a good place right now mentally and we're ready for another challenge this year," said Bruins head coach Claude Julien of his team which is coming off a second conference title in the last three seasons.
Valtteri Filppula lit the lamp in his debut for the Lightning, who have been relocated to the Atlantic after 15 years in the Southeast Division. Anders Lindback made 22 saves in the setback.
Trailing by a goal, Tampa enjoyed 1:32 of 5-on-3 action early in the third period when Zdeno Chara and Shawn Thornton were sent off in a three-second span, but failed to convert.
At the tail end of a 4-on-3 edge, created when Ryan Malone was whistled for interference, Bergeron's wrister from in close bled through Lindback's pads and over the goal line for a 3-1 Bruins edge.
"Bergy was Bergy. He didn't look like he missed a beat," Julien said of the 2012 Selke Trophy winner, who endured multiple debilitating injuries in the Cup Finals and recovery from subsequent surgeries.
Rask made the two-goal bulge hold up by stopping all 10 Bolts offerings in the period.
"Five-on-five you couldn't say one team is better than the other," Bolts head coach Jon Cooper said. "Both teams had their chances and I didn't think we gave up too much. Aside from the power play I was really happy with the way we played. You can go months without giving up two shorthanded goals, here we are giving up two in a game.
With Boston shorthanded in the first period, Kelly broke free into the Tampa zone, and while his path to the net was impeded by Bolts defenseman Mark Barberio, he unloaded two shots on net. When play was finally halted, with 8:21 on the clock, a penalty shot was called.
The gritty winger faked out Lindback before sliding a the puck home for a 1-0 lead.
"I try that move on Tuukka all the time in practice and he never bites," Kelly said following the contest. It worked tonight."
According to Elias Sports Bureau and NHL Public Relations, the Bruins became the first team in league history to score their first goal of the season on a penalty shot.
Rask was active in his crease at the end of the period, helping his club kill off almost two minutes of two-man disadvantage play. He stopped 15 shots in all in the opening frame.
Filppula equalized for the Lightning, left alone on the left side to one-time a backhanded dish from Eric Brewer just after the midway point of regulation.
The Bruins went to the break up by one, though, after Lucic snapped home his first of the year from the left circle off a David Krejci feed with 60 seconds to go.
The Bruins announced just after the drop of the puck that defenseman Dennis Seidenberg was signed to a four-year contract extension worth $16 million ... Boston has won seven straight at home vs. Tampa Bay, upping its all-time home record against their new division rivals to 30-4-6 since 1993 ... Filppula bolted from Detroit and signed a five-year, $22.5 million deal with the Bolts on the first day of free agency in July.
Mercer University hopes to improve off its first season in the Southern Conference during an 11-game 2015 schedule announced on Wednesday.
Kurt Busch has agreed to NASCAR's terms and conditions for reinstatement after he was suspended indefinitely for domestic violence allegations on Feb. 20.
The Dallas Cowboys signed veteran linebacker Keith Rivers to a one-year contract on Wednesday.

How about a healthy fast food restaurant?Posted by Stephanie B. I'm just waiting for a company to unveil a healthy fast food restaurant that sells reasonably priced organic foods that are good for you. Could this be too difficult to do? I know it can't be perfect - fast food has some limitations to it - but if we want to see people get healthier in this country, we need to find a way to make healthy food cheap and fast. Just a thought... |
Not sure where everyone is posting from but in the Salt Lake, Utah area here are a few choices:
http://www.goaunaturale.com/ - they call this a way to eat healthy on a tight schedule. I have been here, although I have not done the drive thru - there are NO fryers in this eatery. The prices were not bad, the service was good, and the baked sweet potatoe fries were AWESOME - so was the salmon sandwich
www.hayaizushi.com - this is a new drive thru or sit in sushi and teriyaki place. The founder of this establishment is also the founder of Ichiban Sushi. Very high quality - tastes great. The pink power roll is awesome and 2.99 for a 4 pc or 5.99 for an 8 pc. I have not done the drive thru here either. They deliver this "zushi" each day to our local grocery store, Dick's in Centerville.
www.thecafefresh.com - is in Orem, Utah located within the good earth store. This does not have a drive thru but the service was fast and friendly. Prices were a little higher than those listed above if you eat the whole meal at one sitting but the $7.25 Turkey AVO Wrap was enough for me for 2 meals making the price easier. The meals here are served with a choice of fresh fruit or chips and fresh salsa (very very good).
Hope this assists anyone in the Salt Lake Area or anyone visiting. :) Many Blessings!
I have been trying to get funding to start a healthy food, drive through restaurant for the past year. If anyone interested in being partners or can advise on where I can source a funder for this business, Please contact:
Thank you:)

With new claims, Psystar tries another angle
You have to admire Psystar's tenacity. Since Judge William Alsup's decision to disallow federal antitrust claims against Apple in Psystar's countersuit, Psystar is amending its countersuit, alleging the misuse of copyright based on different antitrust claims.
It boggles the mind.
Apple is already suing Psystar, of course, claiming that they are violating Mac OS X's End User License Agreement (EULA). Psystar, in its new set of counterclaims, says that Apple is improperly extending the scope of copyright law to include its argument that Psystar broke the EULA.
Psystar claims that -- while admitting that it can't make arguments based on federal antitrust law -- Apple has "leveraged" the power granted them by the Copyright Act and extended it to lock in users post-sale. This, Psystar says, is unlawfully monopolistic, and makes Apple's copyrights unenforceable.
Psystar is also seeking to prove that Apple's behavior is illegal under California's unfair competition statute.
The judge will decide in January if the new claims can be argued in court.

Floating Rate Funds to Avoid Interest Rate Risk
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The fixed income market is clearly in a state of flux and confusion.
The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note has gone up meaningfully in the last few weeks but still well below historical norms. Investors interested in still maintaining a diversified asset allocation need fixed-income exposure but a popular fund like the iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) will be in for more losses if rates continue to go up.
Two funds that could spare investors this pain are the Market Vectors Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF (FLTR) and the iShares Floating Rate Note ETF (FLOT). In the last seven weeks as TLT declined more than 12%, both FLTR and FLOT each went down less than 0.20%. The current bond market panic is a reasonable litmus test.
The big idea with floating rate debt is the interest rate resets as outlined in the bonds' covenants with changes in the open market. The benefit to the issuers is that it allows them to issue competitively priced debt and creates demand for their debt. The benefit for investors is these issues should not be hurt by rising rates the way plain vanilla bonds would be.
The history of floating rate debt is that it has been high-yield debt, but both FLTR and FLOT own corporate, investment grade debt. FLOT also has small exposures to supranational debt like a AAA-rated issue from the International Bank for Reconstruction and local authority debt including a Province of Ontario issue. Most of the holdings will be more familiar and are similar in both funds including JPMorgan (JPM), Citigroup (C) and Goldman Sachs (GS). FLTR and FLOT are both very heavy in financials at 82% and 58%, respectively. Those are both large allocations to financials, which might raise concerns should there be some sort of repeat of 2008. While banks today are not as healthy as they were 10 years ago, many contributing factors to the crisis have been mitigated in terms of bank viability. FLTR and FLOT also own debt from foreign companies denominated in U.S. dollars. These issues in both funds are mostly Australian and Canadian bank debt and to a lesser extent European bank debt.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I thought this was an Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade thread and now I feel empty inside.
Shitter's full
It's Shannon Scott's team this year, I'm hoping to see him come out more confident and in charge. Go get 'em, Shannon!!
- I think I've been an incredible example to my kids of what not to do. - Woody H(arrelson)
I hope they play small (as much as possible anyway) and let Scott push the tempo.
Glad to see Matta shaking things up. He mentioned a few times last year that "guys have to want it." I guess we'll see who wants it.
I love the new approach. I don't think it would be necessary every year but this one just feels like it is. Good on ya Thad.

"Clan of the Cave Bear", the Jean M. Auel novel that inspired the 1984 film of the same name, starring Daryl Hannah, is getting a TV redo.
Imagine's Ron Howard, Brian Grazer and Francie Calfo along with Allison Shearmur ("The Hunger Games: Catching Fire"), Auel and writer Linda Woolverton ("Maleficent") are collaborating on a pilot for Lifetime. The series would launch in 2015.
"I've always admired Jean M. Auel's timeless work," said Lifetime GM Rob Sharenow in a statement announcing the news Wednesday. "With the visionary creative team of Ron Howard, Linda Woolverton, Brian Grazer, Alli Shearmur, Jean M. Auel and Francie Calfo behind it, this project has it all — epic storytelling, great characters and a unique world that's never been explored on television before.

Hey Travelocity, where the $#*!@ is my money?
'Am I in some kind of bureaucratic travel hell?'
Answer: You shouldn't have been charged extra to fix your flight. Instead, Travelocity should have worked with US Airways to ensure you were taken care of.

The Travel Troubleshooter: Maybe the price guarantee isn't all-inclusive?
Answer: You qualified for Travelocity's price guarantee, which promises a $50 coupon and up to $500 back if you find a "qualifying" lower rate up until the day before you check in. Travelocity should have processed your claim — or at least responded to it — promptly.

Oh no! They lost my ticket refund
Can this trip be saved? Wrong middle name on my airline ticket
Why is Travelocity "unable" to refund my ticket?
Answer: Next time, don't change your flights. Oh, who am I kidding? Plans change, and Travelocity should have been able to handle this request without sucking another $4,000 from your bank account.

"I said 'no.' I would vote 'no,' ... I am reminded of Rogers firefighters who were stuck in a hotel room a few weeks ago.

Bill Adams
"This was basically a vote of no confidence for Roger Toussaint. It undermines his credibility back at the bargaining table."
David Gregory
"Obviously, for Roger, I think every draw feels open to him. But, for me, there's no such thing as an open draw."
Andy Roddick
"There's no better big-game pitcher than Roger Clemens."
Buck Martinez
"Everybody's just different. Sheff [ Gary Sheffield ] took no more than two months. [Mike] Mussina took about three months. Roger took a year and the first two months of the next season. Alex [Rodriguez] took most of last season, but in the second half he took off for us."
Brian Cashman
"We don't have anyone with an exceptional move, no one like Kenny Rogers. But there are other ways of holding runners."
Mike Hargrove
"Being from Texas, it would certainly be hard to tell Roger and Troy no, ... It's just kind of a neat deal for me."

- Title Thinking Clearly
- Author Jill Leblanc
- Category Philosophy Of Mind
Philosophy: Logic
Cognition & Cognitive Psychology - Format Paperback
- Year 1998
- Pages 324
- Publisher Ww Norton & Co

In tune with the needs of students, Thinking Clearly focuses squarely on core issues of critical reasoning.
Offers students a concise introduction to the study of critical thinking. It should be of interest for those taking courses in philosophy, ancient history or sociology. Such courses centre on logical arguments in everyday langauge rather than symbolic logic and the author presents examples from situations that students are most likely to encounter. Key terms, rules and concepts are clearly set out, together with many exercises.
Jill LeBlanc (Ph.D., University of Toronto) is an Associate Professor at McMaster University, where she has taught critical thinking to more than 7,000 students. Both Thinking Clearly and is accompanying LEMUR software are based on materials that she developed for this course.

Can we live forever?
By Tom Holmes
The following piece from Newsweek got me thinking about the promise/dream/fantasy/illusion of living forever—here on earth or in the next life. I decided to check in with the "nones" who had responded to my blog several months ago. First is the excerpt from Newsweek and then a response from Ann Fisher to the question "what do you think will happen to you after you die."
De Grey's research at Cambridge led him to believe we can cure aging—not just stop it or slow it. In 2012, the John Templeton Foundation awarded UC-Riverside philosopher John Martin Fischer $5 million to study immortality, and in May, Fischer announced that nearly half of that money would be going to 10 scientific research teams from the United States and Europe. Earlier this year, Prudential Insurance Company launched a new ad campaign centered on a simple prediction: "The First Person to Live to 150 Is Alive Today." And in June, two rivals for the title of the world's oldest person—Japan's Jiroemon Kimura, who, at 116, was the longest-living man ever verified, and China's Luo Meizhen, who claimed to be 127—died within days of each other.
Ann Fisher
I think my death will be like the death of every other living thing on earth. Respiration will stop, my cells will shut down, and ultimately my body will decay away. I don't believe I have a "soul" separate from my body that will somehow live on. Some people will remember me, fondly I hope, for a while and I hope my children and grandchildren will survive me and move into the future that I will not see. But I'll be gone.
My comment:
Ann's scenario is very much like what most Old Testament Hebrews believed would happen when we die. Later on, the Greek influence caused some Jews to think of humans as having a dual nature: mind/soul and body—i.e. psyche and somos—with the soul living on after the body dies and decays.
The third article of the Christian Apostles' Creed states, "I believe in the resurrection of the body."

Treaty Energy Purchases Two Oil Leases In Texas
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Treaty Energy Corporation (OTCQB: TECO), a growth-oriented energy company in the oil and gas industry, today announced it has purchased the MACH H. WOOLDRIDGE and EULA E. WOOLDRIDGE oil & gas leases located in Shackelford County, Texas.
Stephen L. York, President and COO of Treaty Energy Corporation, stated, "The real upside to these leases is they total 280 acres and provide us with ample opportunity for many additional new wells to be drilled. Treaty has gathered a significant amount of data and material in regard to these leases that usually would not exist. Also in our possession are the logs to the original five wells that were drilled on these two leases."
Mr. York commented further, "In addition, a family member of the seller who was employed by XTO Energy, prior to its acquisition by Exxon, has provided us with a Geological tract map of the available virgin acreage. This map identifies 12 infield (well sites inside the perimeter of existing drilled wells) drilling sites or PUDS as commonly called in the industry."
Treaty Energy believes these new leases represent an immense opportunity for the Company to increase its current production and reserves. These shallow wells are easily drilled and with the advent of new gel fracking methods the production is increased and lasts longer than traditional methods.
Mr. York, added, "Based on available data, each well on these leases will likely produce at 8-12 barrels per day per well, and since these wells will come in at about 500-700 feet deep, we can drill, complete, and operate in-house and continue towards our company goal of 1000 barrels per day in the next 10 months from our Texas leases." About Treaty Energy Corporation Treaty is engaged in the acquisition, development and production of oil and natural gas. Treaty acquires and develops oil and gas leases which have "proven but undeveloped reserves" at the time of acquisition. These properties are not strategic to large exploration-oriented oil and gas companies. This strategy allows Treaty to develop and produce oil and natural gas with tremendously decreased risk, cost and time involved in traditional exploration. For more information go to: www.treatyenergy.com Forward-Looking Statements: Statements herein express management's beliefs and expectations regarding future performance and are forward-looking and involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, raising working capital and securing other financing; responding to competition and rapidly changing technology; and other risks. These risks are detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Forms 10-KSB, 10-QSB and 8-K.

The New Economic Geography: A Comment, remarks at the 2006 Jackson Hole conference of the Kansas City Federal Reserve
By MARTIN FELDSTEIN
(PDF Version)
I want to thank Tom Hoenig, Craig Hakkio and all of the staff of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank for another very good conference in this beautiful location.
The subject of this year's Jackson Hole meeting – the global aspects of economic activity – broadens the range of issues that have been considered at these meetings. I believe that the resulting volume will be very widely read.
My plan for these remarks is to comment very briefly on each of the four papers that we heard and then to discuss a subject that I believe received too little attention: the implications of the major global imbalance and the U.S. current account deficit for monetary policy in the United States and elsewhere.
Tony Venables provided a clear overview of the magnitude and reasons for the increasing globalization of the world economy. He helped me to understand the reasons for the persistence of large disparities in per capita incomes among countries and regions of the world. And he explained why some microeconomic forces lead to greater convergence of incomes and factor prices while other microeconomic forces lead to greater differentials.
Tony's paper contained a number of very interesting insights. I remind you of only a few: (1) Larger markets lead to increased productivity through economies of scale and increased competition. (2) Larger labor markets create incentives for workers to invest in specialized training. (3) Microeconomic forces create a tendency for those countries that get ahead in a particular industry to generate higher productivity and therefore to attract more investment in that industry, thus reinforcing the productivity advantage.
The paper by Gene Grossman and Estaban Rossi-Hansberg focused on the changing character of international trade, particularly on the shift from trade in final goods to trade in components as part of a global supply chain. He summarized this change in the words "offshoring" and trade in "tasks" rather than in products themselves. This focus on the trade in tasks is of fundamental importance. Much of the trade in Asia consists of what has been called "process trade" in which China imports components or partially finished goods, adds value, and re-exports them to Europe or the United States. Much of China's trade surplus with the US and Europe is thus really a proxy for a trade surplus with Korea and other countries that produce the components that go into the Chinese exports.
Critics of offshoring have claimed that this process reduces the wages of low skilled American workers and will ultimately drive those wages down to the wage level in China. Sophisticated critics can even point to the factor price equalization theorem of the Heckscher-Ohlin theory. In reality, however, such a reduction in U.S. wages does not happen because US firms stops producing those goods for which the low wage in countries like China creates a large enough competitive advantage. American low skill workers shift into service jobs that require physical presence in the United States, allowing them to earn a higher wage than their Chinese counterparts. In theoretical terms, the factor price equalization of the Heckscher-Ohlin model does not occur because there is complete specialization of production, a "corner solution" in which wages are not equalized.
Gene and Estaban go further and explain that offshoring could actually increase the wages of the type of low-skilled workers whose jobs are offshored. While the change in the price of the goods and the implicit increase in embodied foreign labor would reduce those wages, there is also an effect of increased firm productivity that results from offshoring. This greater productivity reduces the production cost of the offshoring firm and the resulting price reduction increases demand for its product. If the increased demand for that product causes the firm's demand for labor (and particularly its demand for low skilled labor) to rise enough, the wage of the low skilled workers may actually rise. Of course, this counterintuitive result depends on the relative strength of the productivity effect and the traditional price and labor supply effects. Gene and Estaban presented evidence that the real wages of low skilled workers in the U.S. did not grow as slowly between 1997 and 2004 as would be expected based on the overall increase in productivity and the change in the terms of trade. They interpret this positive average "residual" as potential evidence of the favorable effect of offshoring. It is of course difficult to know how much of this residual is due to the productivity effect of offshoring and how much is due to such unrelated things as the rise in the demand for unskilled labor in health care and transportation and the offsetting rise in the number of low-skilled immigrants.
Raghu Raja and his coauthors present evidence that net foreign capital inflows are negatively correlated with long-term growth in developing countries. They conclude that this evidence is consistent with the idea that extra capital from abroad does not raise economic growth and may actually lower it. The failure to raise growth could reflect inadequately developed domestic financial markets in the capital receiving countries. The negative effect of the capital inflow could be the result of bidding up the exchange rate of the capital receiving country, thereby depressing exports and growth. But Raghu and his colleagues wisely warn that this evidence is not conclusive because the relation is only a correlation and not an identified causal relationship.
That caution is appropriate. An alternative plausible explanation of the negative correlation is that growth reduces the net capital inflow from abroad. That is, saving may be the dependent variable and growth the driving force. Such a relation is the implication of the most basic life cycle model that links growth and saving. A growth rate that is sustained at a high level for any reason – e.g., better technology, improved infrastructure, better legal framework, etc. – may cause aggregate saving to rise. Why? In a growing economy, the income of the young workers who are in the saving phase of life are higher than the incomes that the retirees had when they were young. With a constant saving rate among young workers, the saving of the savers therefore exceeds the dissaving of the dissavers. The faster is this intergenerational growth rate, the higher is the aggregate saving rate. Higher aggregate saving implies higher domestic investment but the investment doesn't rise one-for-one with the higher saving. Thus the excess of saving over investment rises, causing the current account balance In the final paper, Ken Rogoff brought us to the relation of globalization and monetary policy. He presents a large number of very interesting conclusions – too many for me to begin to comment on them all. For example, he explains that globalization helps monetary policy by creating a more favorable output-inflation tradeoff . It does this by weakening the pricing power of domestic monopolies and labor unions. This is likely to be more important in Europe and in other countries where unions and monopolies are more important than in the United States where union members are now only a tiny fraction of the private sector workforce and where monopoly power is greatly limited by domestic competition and legal rules.
A second point that I found very significant is Rogoff's cautioning against trying to include the exchange rate into a country's monetary rule, while changes in the price of oil (or of imported products more generally) may be a cause for some adjustment of monetary policy, a rationale for the focus on a core inflation measure that excludes energy prices.
Global Economic Imbalances
I turn now to the issue of global economic imbalances and the challenges that they may pose for monetary policy in the U.S. and elsewhere.
The United States had a current account deficit in 2005 of about $800 billion or more than six percent of GDP, a much larger imbalance than many observers would have believed possible just a few years ago. It is useful therefore to start by asking whether such an imbalance can continue indefinitely. Back in 1980, Charles Horioka and I published a paper showing that OECD countries with sustained high saving rates also have high investment rates. That implies that large current account imbalances do not persist. This result was replicated by other researchers for later years and for a broader range of countries. International capital flows are different from capital flows within countries – i.e., the global capital market is more segmented – because international capital flows involve exchange rate risk.
to increase: S - I = X - M. This implies that faster growth leads to a larger capital outflow or smaller capital inflow. That can explain the key correlation reported by Raghu and his colleagues . If so, that correlation says nothing about the effect of an exogenous increase in the flow of capital to the developing country.
I have been studying these more recent data with the help of John Friedman, a Harvard graduate student (see NBER working paper W11856). When we estimated the Feldstein-Horioka saving retention coefficient, i.e., the share of incremental saving that is retained and invested in the home country, we found that it is lower in more recent decades than in the past, as Greenspan noted. Most of that decline, however, reflects the effect of smaller countries. When the observations are weighted by the size of GDP, the decline in the saving retention coefficient is much smaller. When observations are weighted by GDP, about 70 percent of the sustained rise or fall in saving in a country is reflected in its domestic investment.
The experience in the period since 2000 has been very different from the past because of the increased role of governments as international investors. Back in the year 2000, the entire US current account deficit of about $400 billion was financed by equity inflows – both foreign direct investment and portfolio equity. These equity inflows came from private investors who were investing funds in American companies because they believed that the higher potential return in the United States outweighed the exchange rate risk. Now, in contrast, the entire U.S. current account deficit of about $800 billion is being financed by fixed income flows. The equity flows to the US are rather small and generally exceeded by equity outflows from the U.S. to the rest of the world.
I suspect that the overwhelming majority of these fixed income inflows are now coming from governments or quasi- governmental organizations, a dramatic change from the past. It is difficult to be confident about the source of these funds. The official U.S. Treasury data do not provide useful information because they classify capital inflows by the nature of the transactor rather than the ultimate provider of the funds. Thus a foreign government that buys US bonds through a London bank is recorded as a private British buyer.
We do know that the Chinese government has accumulated reserves of nearly $1 trillion and that the oil producing countries are now accumulating about $400 billion a year in foreign funds, mostly dollars. Since government decisions are not driven by the usual considerations of risk and return, it is difficult to know what will cause them to change in the future.
I believe that the major international challenge for the Federal Reserve and other central banks will be managing their economies as they adjust to declining current account imbalances. I think there is general agreement that the US current account deficint must decline substantially, that an acceptable slowdown in US growth will not be enough to achieve that adjustment, and therefore that a major currency reallignment will be necessary in which the dollar declines relative to the euro, the yen, the RMB and other currencies. It is not clear what will trigger this exchange rate adjustment or how fast it will be, but I have little doubt that it is coming.
What are the implications of this for monetary policy? Let me start with the countries other than the United States. The reduction in the U.S. trade deficit will reduce exports to the US from all of our trading partners, including those like Europe that currently have a global trade balance. The decline of the US trade deficit will also involve increases in US exports to the rest of the world. The net effect of this will be reductions in aggregate demand in all of these countries. To maintain demand and employment, central banks in those countries will have to be willing to pursue a relatively easier monetary policy. Or, if they are seeking to reduce demand in order to reduce inflation, this will give them the opportunity to do so without further tightening. The adjustment for Europe will be more complex because the decline in demand will differ substantially from country to country. A monetary adjustment would therefore be inadequate to maintain employment in all European countries. The useful of fiscal policies would bring with it additional problems.
The implication for U.S. monetary policy depends on what initiates the current account correction and on how markets respond. Consider first what happens if investors in the rest of the world – both private investors and governments – do not want to continue accumulating additional dollar bonds at the same rate of $800 billion a year. In the short run, there is no choice. The current account deficit must be financed and that means that the debt must be bought by foreign investors. To make the debt more attractive, the real yield on the debt must rise or the dollar must fall enough so that investors do not fear further dollar declines. There is no way to know which of these – or what combination – will occur. In the long run, the dollar must decline to shrink the current account deficit. But in the short run either the interest rate or the exchange rate of both might adjust.
If the short run reaction were a rise in the real long-term interest rate, the Fed will face a slowing economy, possible one in which output is actually declining. If the market reaction is instead a substantial dollar decline, the economic effect will be higher inflation, requiring Fed tightening. The most likely response will be some combination of both higher real rates and increased inflation, complicating the problem for monetary policy.
The correction of the large U.S. current account deficit could alternatively be initiated in the United States by a significant rise of the household saving rate. We know that the current account deficit can only decline if aggregate saving rises or investment declines. I think we can reasonably expect that the household saving rate will rise from its current negative value as households respond to the falling real value of owner-occupied real estate and as the volume of mortgage refinancing shrinks. But an increase in the saving rate and the associated decline in consumption do not instantaneously induce a rise in net exports. The decline in consumption spending reduces GDP until net exports rise. So in this case the Fed will face the challenge of balancing the decline of domestic demand with the process of international adjustment.
All of which tells us that the Kansas City Federal Reserve was right to organize a conference to highlight the importance of the international economy. The nature of the global current account adjustment would be a good subject for a future Jackson Hole conference.
Thank you.

IDC piracy
According to a new study titled "The Economic Benefits of Reducing Software Piracy" from Business Software Alliance and the leading global market research firm IDC, reducing the 65 per cent software piracy rate in India by 10 percentage points over four years would create over 59,728 high-tech jobs, $ 4.6 billion in new economic activity, and close to $ 512 million in new taxes by 2013, with 76 per cent of those benefits expected to remain in the local economy. The study also found that if India were to reduce piracy by 10 points over the next two years instead of four, it would boost the economic activity and tax gains by a further 32 per cent.

V120d02s was my 1st CP heli after 5 months with a cb180z>If you know the basics -hover-forward flight -you will be fine.If you practise daily in 2 months(or less) you will make your 1st flip.If you want this heli very durable you need to install a slipper clutch and to make the servo saver mode.The 1st one will help you not to strip tail gears during crash and the 2s not to strip servo gears.Also keep in mind that with CP helis you must set the correct throttle /pitch curves to flight your flight skills. This heli is a great teacher.You can learn a lot with minimum(crashing) cost. As for the spares my favorite seller is this one here http://www.chinesejade.com/walkeraV120D02S.htm good prices and very fast shipping, Quote:

Where did you buy the 032 aluminum stock at?? Mike
QUOTE=IntegrityHndywrk;22556365]The CF is a little too strong still, Graphite was okay but hard to find the right size and hardness. The aluminum .032 stock is the best by far! Had my first crash today and it sheered clean on the D05. Not even a nick in the tiny little old skool teeth. On top of that, the middle section inside the shaft pushed right out easily. I use the little tiny allen wrench that i got with one of my 120 helis to poke the dry CA out of the hole after so the new piece of aluminum stock will slide clean though. Dab with CA and go back flying. Of course this is no walk in the park if you crash all the time. But i always have 4 helis with me at the field so it saves me money on repairs. Sure beats reinforcing each of my D05's gear hubs to withstand the impact on from the paperclip, that hardly ever sheered anyway. Thats probably the ticket. The plastic part is probably smaller than the metal part's hole. Technically 19 AWG i think should be able to squeeze it. if you could find it. But i'm sure smaller is slightly better than too tight. /shrug Since i got you, i've been meaning to ask you something don! Do you know where i can get a 2mm motor shaft replacement for my TA 215 motor?[/QUOTE] |

http://shop.osorail.com/category.sc?categoryId=30 It is just straight shaft though and not knurled. You also have to cut to length. Usually removing the old shaft bends the bell supports. I had to setup a runout gauge on the bell of the last HP08 motor I replaced the shaft on and tweeked the supports until it ran true. Good Luck, Don |

I personally have never used a "servo saver" mod. But replacing the stiff CF Canopy mounting pin with a bendable paperclip has saved my servos almost every time apparently. I'm still on my 3rd set of servos and i own 2 V120 size helicopters. You do the math, i NEVER replace my servos. But i have had to replace my servo gears 5 or so times. I just don't strip them, like EVER. I think the replacment gears are stronger than stock too. Can't verify. So you might want to order some replacement gear sets for the servos at oomodem.com, but i would avoid ordering anything else from them, just my opinion. They are slow and have poor communication on inventory and stocking. Quote:
Again both work excellently, but the BenMLee slipper clutch has some added design improvements for the helicopter and some additional machined parts to replace the stock parts with, which increase the price and not too much more functionality. I really think its "6 of one, half dozen of the other" which one you pick/find/use but the BenMLee cluch is more "over" engineered for what it really is. Even though i enjoy how it tightens up the tail over all, it's not necessary. However it might be the only readily available option any longer. |

The Ace Hardware store in my town carries some aluminum, brass and stainless stock in the back. Otherwise i'm sure you can find it online somewhere. (side note, i always prefer Ace hardware because it's locally owned and not a corporate powerhouse bent on destroying small community businesses, like wally world.) So even if they didn't stock it, the guy at the Ace hardware would have been willing to order it for me. They happened to have a pack or 2 left that was hiding in the wrong slot though. If you really have trouble finding it i can probably pick up their last pack and mail it to you for about $5 give or take the shipping difference.
Thanks, I was hoping i could press a new one in there with little effort and just start using 2mm pinions with it instead of 1.5mm drill hole. I think this should work out. Thanks! I'm not sure why they decided to use a 2mm shaft and spline it down to 1.5mm. But i'm fairly sure i don't have the tools to do this, even though i have most of my grandfathers machinist's tools. |

1. Have you tried another ESC? If the built in BEC is dying you might be undervolting the RX and servos which can cause them to run hot or brown out. The tail servo does the most work so it's logical that it'd be the one to die first. Not a definitive test but try binding the heli and then just banging the sticks around on the ground (TH on) for a couple of minutes. You might be able to induce a brown out. 2. Check the A gear bearing under load. Try pulling up on the head a bit and then turn the main gear. If the A gear bearing is worn out it might turn freely unloaded but drag alot more when loaded which could cause the brownouts. Less likely but maybe worth checking since it's easy. |

I use a very tiny diameter of plastic nylon tubing (used for pushrod stiffiner). As seen in this image. I replaced the CF pin with a very short paper clip (center), the rest of the pin length is the flexible tubing. At the inner side of the canopy, noticed is a small red silicon tubing from a silicon wire (insulation) that serves as a canopy stopper. ------------------------------------- Quote:

I'd like to understand it, because it could be a very useful and simple solution. By the way, your heli looks really pretty with those colors |
