Scientists from China visit Lancaster
Story supplied by LU Press Office
A team of distinguished scientists from China Agricultural University in Beijing has visited the Lancaster Environment Centre as part of an RCUK-funded three-year collaboration between the UK and China.
Lancaster University was awarded a £1.33m grant by Research Councils UK, to work with researchers in China to address food and water. This funding has since been augmented by support from several funding agencies in China.
The project team led by Distinguished Professor Bill Davies of LEC has been working in partnership with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Agricultural University and a growing number of UK businesses to provide new knowledge, products and services.
These include maximising crop yields under drought, new agronomic technologies to enhance water use efficiency, the detection of heavy metals in the environment and food, and managing organic chemicals and agricultural waste disposal.
The visitors from the China Agricultural University included the Director of the Centre for Agricultural Water Research (CAWR) Professor Kang Shaozhong, Professor Wang Fujun, Dean of the College of Water Conservancy & Civil Engineering (CWCC), Professor Yang Peiling Chair of CWCC, and Dr Du Taisheng, Dr Mao Xiaomin and Dr Tong Ling.
The visit was organised to discuss future collaborative research on agriculture in North West China, one of the driest regions in the country.
LEC will continue to research in this region and hopes to offer Lancaster PG and UG students the opportunity to be involved in this work via summer schools and other overseas placements.
Professor Kang was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by Lancaster in 2010 and is a regular visitor to Lancaster.
Professor Davies said: "It was a real pleasure to host a visit from Professor Kang and his team. Late in 2011, Kang was elected as a member of China's Engineering Academy. This is a great honour for him and for CAU. We feel great pride in our association with his research which is impacting positively on the lives of millions of people who live in one of the most environmentally challenging regions in Asia."

Restaurants with a combination of good food and good service are difficult to locate in Panama City. The Rausch Restaurant definitely has these attributes combined with a wonderful modern setting. This is a good restaurant for business dinners, or for couples. The food was fantastic and the service even better. I would recommend the Tuna Tartar to begin, followed by the shrimp with chorizo sausage, and topped off with the Chocolate Fondant for dessert (this dessert needs to be ordered ahead of time). The restaurant in generally quiet, but could get noisy if there is a large group. Highly recommended restaurant for a business dinner, especially if you wish to impress out of town guests.

Product Reviews
NeilSafford, AZAge: 45-54Gender: male3 Stars Out Of 5Not a textually critical helpSeptember 30, 2013NeilSafford, AZAge: 45-54Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 3Meets Expectations: 2The layout of this book is NOT clear or straightforward - at least it is not so for what I was hoping to find in this book.
This book attempts to blend Matthew, Mark and Luke into a single harmonious account. The writer attempts to place all of the accounts in chronological order with each other. I suppose that's okay; but I was hoping to see parallels with Mark all together and the Q sayings in Matthew and Luke listed side-by-side.
Studying the Gospels in parallel in Mark's order is interesting. Then, following the Q stuff in Luke's order is also interesting but a bit more difficult. I was hoping this book would help. It doesn't.
Elizabeth Peeney4 Stars Out Of 5April 17, 2009Elizabeth PeeneyI have been looking for years for this type of side-by-side comparison of the 3 gospels. It is much easier to use rather than having to go from pages of one gospel to another gospel-holds my interest more also.
Ellen Delatte4 Stars Out Of 5April 18, 2008Ellen DelatteThis has been an enjoyable and easily understood way to study the gospels for my teenage daughter. She especially enjoys the simplicity of layout & design.

Advice on information to provide for weed identification
If you have a weed in your yard and you do not know what it is the best thing to do is to take it to your local garden center and maybe they can give you a correct id of the plant. If not and you want to post here, here are some points that should be considered so that you will get a response that is reasonable and helpful.
1. If at all possible get a picture of the flowers, including close-ups, and of the whole plant with any special feature such as thorns or hairy leaves as close-ups.
2. Give the height of the plant.
3. Is it herbaceous or woody or woody at the base but herbaceous above?
4. are the leaves sticky or hairy or??
5. what are the growing conditions: in sun, in shade, on sandy soil, on clay soil, in water, ???
6. flowers: color, size, shape (like a sunflower, like a snapdragon, etc.), arranged how (in a spike coming out of the plant, in spikes along the side of the plant, etc.)
7. seeds: have hairs on the seeds, have thorns, in burs, in pods, tiny, one large one, ????
I have only briefly itemized some of the items that are used to identify something that is new. Please take the time to do a good job of describing the plant as this will encourage posts with guesses as to what it may be and just one of those guesses may be the answer. Just saying a green plant with yellow flowers will get no responses other than Are you kidding!!!
Help those who can help you help you!
Don't forget your local master gardener program. They may not have the answer for you when you walk in the door, but they can find it. As mentioned, a sample (not just a leaf, but a good section showing leafing, branching, flowers if possible) is going to be needed. Good photos (multiple shots, close ups, the entire plant, etc.) will also work.

9days late. Neg test. Feeling pressure in lower abdomen and very bloated all the time. What is going on. We are ttc. But neg test means no baby?
Trust the test: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate. They are the same tests used in a doctor's office. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period. If you doubt the result you can repeat it in 1-2 days. If you were pregnant the hormone level would rise enough for detection. ...Read moreGet help now ›

Overwhelming Support for Prohibiting Employment Discrimination in North Carolina
June 19, 2013 by Guest contributor
Post submitted by Catherine Ekonomou, HRC Communications Intern
A recent Public Policy Polling poll finds 71 percent of North Carolinian voters do not believe that employers should be able to discriminate based on sexual orientation.
Despite broad, bipartisan support for employment non-discrimination protections, North Carolina law does not currently prohibit discrimination in the workforce based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
Right now in 29 states, there is no state law protecting a gay, lesbian or bisexual person from being fired just because of who they are – and the same is true in 34 states for transgender people.
Join HRC in calling on Congress to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act to provide basic protections against workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity and expression.

Mini 9 - I still use mine!
Picked up a new Dell Mini 9 from Dell's website when it was on offer (149 quid) a few years back and I'm still using it today. I used the money I saved on the offer to boost it with 2GB RAM, 32GB Runcore SSD and a 32GB SDHC card - that's probably a higher spec than most tablets and I topped it off with Fedora Linux for maximum usability.
It's the right form factor for a mixture of both serious and fun stuff, unlike tablets which are strictly for media consumption/games, IMHO. Sadly, most people don't do serious stuff with their computers beyond managing photos and doing some word processing, so I guess that's why netbooks are so out of fashion now.
BTW, can you actually buy a netbook with an SSD any more? That was the saddest thing to disappear from them in the last year or two - why would I want a hard drive in a primarily portable device?

Discussion in 'PatsFans.com - Patriots Fan Forum' started by Brady-To-Branch, Jul 11, 2006.
According to Pro Football Talk...
Wow, an actual draft choice signing. Time for Pioli to get to work :rocker:
A four-year contract for a 7th rounder?
Sure it's not a lot of bonus money, but it's just as easy to sign the guy to one-year deals through his first four years (3 years exclusive rights, one year restricted). Does this mean Andrews is our new returner?
Be still my heart... we just signed our 7th round draft pick!
All joking aside the Pats have scored on 7th rounders before, see exhibit David Givens.
Andrews can and probably will make this team with his special teams play, if he shows ability to play nickel or dime corner that would be a nice added bonus.
A good Signing Thread...
Always good to get a signing in early...1 up 9 to go...This may not be easy given the money they have...I'm excited...even for a 7th round pick...I think he's a sleeper!!!!
They also signed a 6th rounder several years ago who had a pretty big impact on this team.
The maximum is a 4-year contract. Why the hell else wouldn't you want to lock up a young player for 4 years at the minimum?
Most UDFAs are signed to multi-year deals, but it's not like baseball, remember. Salaries aren't guaranteed, so it's all about the signing bonus. It definitely doesn't mean right now that he'll be our returner.
I can't think of any teams that would even do something as stupid as not signing draft picks to multi-year deals.
From Miguel's page, the Pats' two seventh rounders from last year:
Andy Stokes, the final pick in the draft, was signed to a 2-year contract but released during training camp.
Because if you have to cut him, you eat the bonus money hit.
OooOOoooOOO .... $46,000! What a cap hit! What a risk!
(That would be all of a whopping .4% of the Pats' cap room!)
Pats Rookie Signings 1 down 9 to go!!!!
This is a good thread to have and add to as all are signed!!! MODS: Maybe a stickee for this????
Believe it or not, I'm pretty excited about this guy. He clearly has the potential to be a factor in the return game, with speed and footwork, as well as college experience on special teams. Remember, lots of draft picks never took reps on special teams in college.
Also, the guy could be the next Randall Gay at CB, a guy that is downright fast, and overlooked in the drafting process.
I don't think the signing bonus is an issue at all because this guy appears to be our best chance at a breakout special teams player amoung the rookies, and the bonus was simply an easy way for the Pats to retain him for the full four years allowed. They would have made it five years, but the rules were recently changed by the advice of Tom Condon, who got involved in advising Upshaw during the recent union negotiations. I believe without a doubt that Condon was pulling hard to make sure that players like his former client, Ben Watson, could no longer be locked up into long term deals as rookies. I believe that this is bad for teams, and good for agents (and their clients).
Re: Pats Rookie Signings 1 down 9 to go!!!!
Thanks! Maybe the Mods can make it a sticky?
Hok, I agree with pats1 that the SB money for a 7th rounder is negligible under the cap.
Moreover, allowing a player to become a restricted FA nowadays can become a risky proposition, especially for a lower round pick. Maybe I'm being a homer when I say I'm confident that Andrews will turn out to be a steal. He's got good speed for S/CB and has extensive punt/KO return experience. But lets assume I'm right and Andrews becomes a RFA. The Pats will have to give him the mid-level tender (1st round compensation) to keep him from bolting. At this point, any team would gladly forfeit a 7th rounder for him. Remember the RFA signing spree under Danny Snyder? (Coles, Morton, both RFAs from the Jets).
Besides his return abilities (who is our PR again?) Andrews was said to be the only CB to keep up with Chad Jackson. If Andrews beats everyone out for the return job, and can be an emergency CB/S so that Troy Brown doesn't play defense, BB would have a decent role player for a 7th.
I don't mean to be a buzzkill, but it's important to keep in mind that this contract doesn't fully guarantee Andrews is even good enough to make the 53. I suppose it is, on some level, a good omen, but the cap-hit to release him would be very minimal.
I hope he does make it, I hope he does have an impact as a S/T guy and returner, but we may be putting the cart before the horse here.
Homerism Out of Control
Abdrews had better be super fantastic on both return and COVERAGE special teams for him to have any shot at making the roster. And as for Andrews in our base defense, even as a PT dime, nickel or penny back. Let me just say this. Baylor's defense is to ours as a Yugo is to a Bentley.
Andrews needs a lot of work, people, let's be real and put down those glue sticks.
I appreciate what you guys are saying, but I also think that he got the four year deal AND the signing bonus BECAUSE Bioli sees something in him.
Otherwise, I think he would have gotten no bonus, and a three year deal.
No signing bonus??????
How's he going to pay for that room at the motel 6 during TC??? You know Tom may be leaving the light on for free, but it costs money to get inside the door.
I hope you're right, Rings, but I'm not going to assume it means anything yet. Just me being me.
His contract was dictated by those around him and those from last year. The team (it's actually the Chief Adminstrative Counsel Jack Mula who does the rookie contracts) doesn't have a lot of bargaining room.
Without getting into a big discussion about how the team has signed picks in the past, and how they have clearly bucked any trends by signing players to 6 year deals when they felt like it, including to the point of hold-outs, and signing players like Gus Scott to one year deals when they felt like it (including a brief hold-out), I will just agree to disagree with your post!
I feel like it is well within Bioli's discretion to give a 7th round pick a three year deal without a bonus, if they so desire. Or at least to drag this thing out and try to.
Separate names with a comma.

The couple scheduled a demonstration at VirTra headquarters. VirTra has three simulators: the 100, a single screen; the 180, with three screens; and the ultrarealistic 300, which surrounds shooters with five screens.
"They put me on the 300, and when I was done I had to wring my shirt out. ... I looked at Sandy and said: 'This is the best training tool I've ever experienced,' " Lieberman said.
They brought the 100 to Lake Forest in November; the 180 and 300 arrived Monday. Aaron DeCorte, vice president of sales for VirTra, estimated that there are only 20 virtual-only facilities in the nation open to civilians.
Dubbed "The Lab," the airy high-ceilinged ADI warehouse is a place for experimentation and mistakes without the risk of injury.
"We want that to happen here so it doesn't happen out there," Lieberman said. "So this is the place to experiment; this is the place to try new things; this is the place to learn."
To stay sharp, shooters should hit a range at least once a week, Lieberman said. With the cost of the time, targets and ammunition, that can run $30,000 annually, he estimated. A 30-minute lesson on the single-screen simulator at ADI costs $30.
Simulations are based on police officers' reports. One scenario pits the trainee against a workplace shooter wearing body armor; another puts the user in the place of an officer confronting a pimp harassing a prostitute in a Venice Beach parking lot.
ADI also can film specific simulations for customers interested in practicing specific locations, such as at their home or workplace.
The simulations at ADI range from basic marksmanship, where shooters aim to hit objects such as rows of cactus, to live-actor scenarios, such as the hostage-taking narrative.
Shooters use real guns modified with laser barrel inserts and magazines that hold carbon-dioxide cartridges for recoil. A camera tracks each shot by tracking an infared laser pulse sent out with each trigger pull.
When faced with a combat situation, people do three things: fight, flee or freeze. "We want to eliminate the freeze," Lieberman said.
Combat sends heart rates sky high, which does more than just get adrenaline flowing: It can distort the senses, play with hearing and sight, and affect rational thinking.
ADI's simulations contribute to "stress inoculation," reducing the body's natural reaction to combat, Lieberman said. When shooters work through the programs, they are building muscle memory to inure them to the physiological effects of stress.
ADI even has a device brave wearers can place on their backs to mimic the sensation, through an electrical impulse, of getting hit by an enemy bullet.

21st-century petitions can spark political engagement
21st-century technologies have corrupted the original purpose of petitions. But they may nudge young Canadians towards greater engagement.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Ever since the revolution in communications technology made the Internet accessible to all but the least fortunate Canadians, political analysts and operatives have been confounded by the newfound ease with which individuals can create and sign petitions.
The care2petition website, for example, brags of having organized more than 140 million supporters of the seemingly unending calls for action available to viewers with a click of a mouse or a tap of their mobile phone.
Those who doubt the value of such initiatives note how little effort it takes to "like," or to re-tweet, any particular message, leading one to question the depth of the commitment of petition signatories.
Proponents of this form of political activism counter that the Internet has revitalized democracy, making easier for all Canadians to express their opinions to Ottawa directly.
Both sides have a point.
On the critical side, Black Out Speak Out's recent effort to stop the Conservatives' omnibus approach to budgetary legislation might have gathered nearly 50,000 signatures, but it appears to have had no real policy impact, nor is it likely to affect Ottawa's attitude towards the legislative process going forward.
And perhaps it shouldn't. Consider, for example, that one cannot verify whether those protesting the omnibus bill were in fact Canadians. (Indeed, based on their comments, a number of them clearly were not.)
And although the petition technically targeted government and opposition members, too many partisan activists used it as just another outlet to criticize the Harper Conservatives.
Nonetheless, the problems with contemporary public action campaigns don't necessarily make them useless. When employed creatively, petitions can still serve the broader democratic process.
Some political movements treat electronic petitions as a recruitment tool. They use the email addresses and twitter handles provided by individuals who sign up to identify and then contact potential supporters. Signatories are ideal party volunteers, small-scale donors, and perhaps even future political candidates.
The innovative strategists who work this way are realistic. To them, signing a petition (particularly when the signatory is a young Canadian) need not imply the iron-clad commitment to a particular cause that it might have years ago. Rather, it suggests a mild expression of political interest, one that might be nurtured with the proper encouragement.
Perhaps, then, 21st-century technologies have corrupted the original purpose of petitions. But if they can consistently nudge young people towards greater engagement with public policy, they shouldn't be written off too quickly.

Keys to Effective Employee Communication
Employee communication is both simple and complex. We communicate with employees each day. Sometimes directly – when we respond to questions or requests, for example.

Apparently, however, one only has to see a couple of Bledel's photos to determine she could pull off a Steele-y vibe. Bledel naturally exudes the combination of naivete, quiet allure and sex appeal that drew Christian Grey to Ana.
'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie: Aussie Actress Lauren Watson for Anastasia Steele?
Lauren Watson: Fifty Shades of Promise?
Then came Lauren Watson. An online poll by Daily Quirk showed Watson ranked second to Bledel among popular fan choices for the Ana Steele role. While Bledel's camp has been mum on the Fifty Shades casting rumors, Watson herself finds no trouble in expressing her genuine interest in playing the sex submissive character. She even thought of Chace Crawford as a potential Christian Grey. Watson's Twitter account is also filled with retweets from sources of Fifty Shades updates.
Watson seems promising as Ana Steele. She has the same qualities of Bledel without the fame earned from a long-running TV series. This could give the Fifty Shades film execs a great "branding" opportunity. They might want to cast a relative newbie in the industry than someone who already has strong links to previous works, be it a film saga or a TV series.
Fifty Shades of Grey Movie Director: Channing Tatum or Mark Wahlberg?
If Watson snags the Anastasia Steele role, it would only prove that the loudest noise does not necessarily guarantee a sure deal.
Fifty Shades movie producers are expected to announce some casting decisions soon. Screenplay writer Kelly Marcel has started working on the film script last month and a director may soon be hired.

Capitalism Makes a Comeback on CampusFebruary 25, 2015 12:15 PM
There's exciting stuff going on in the world of higher education these days for fans of free markets. Just last week, the University of Arizona's Center for the Philosophy of Freedom received a $2.9 million grant from the John Templeton Foundation to help build a network of philosophy, politics and economics (PPE) programs at several universities around the world.
Closer to home here in Washington, D.C., the new Ed Snider Center for Enterprise and Markets at the University of Maryland is making a strong showing out of the gate. Earlier this month the Center hosted a debate over income inequality and public policy including current Executive MBA students and outside speakers Yaron Brook and Paul Vaaler. The video content from that event is well worth re-visiting for anyone who was unable to attend in person.
When Kittens ExplodeFebruary 20, 2015 11:31 AM
A fascinating Kickstarter funding campaign just ended yesterday, and it was a major one. A new card game with the alarming title of "Exploding Kittens" (don't worry—no actual kittens were harmed) has managed to raise $8,782,571 over the last 30 days. This makes it the third most highly funded Kickstarter campaign ever, and the one with the most total backers.
Exploding Kittens is a wonder of the Internet age—a party game full of goofy images and bizarre characters that was 1000-percent funded in less than an hour of its launch. It's unlikely to have attracted the venture capital bigwigs from Shark Tank or the product acquisition VPs from Parker Brothers and Hasbro. The title alone is edgy enough to make your average Toys 'R' Us executive nervous, yet it's clearly a product hundreds of thousands of people are willing to pay for. Thank you, Internet.
The advent of online crowd funding, of which Kickstarter is merely the best known platform, has become one of the most exciting developments in recent business history. At a time when voices from the left are again arguing that the history of the "self-made man" in America is built on myth, the projects that have been successfully crowd funded demonstrate that a single person—or a small team—with a good idea can produce something customers love and make some good money in the process. What could be more American than that?
The Empire Strikes Back!February 9, 2015 1:34 PM
Right-of-center groups have for some time become a bit complacent. Sure the left had the universities, the media, and pop culture—but we had the think tanks. In the world of principled and ideologically motivated policy, we were dominant—libertarian and conservative groups were growing in size and influence. We were—for a while—unchallenged.
No longer. The left and its financial supporters have realized that gap in their force array and have poured resources into addressing that deficiency. The Center for American Progress—the left's Heritage Foundation—and the New America Foundation (CAP's more intellectual counterpart) have become influential counters.
The most recent example of that is CAP's new product, Report of the Commission on Inclusive Prosperity. "Inclusive" is one of the many adjectives used to modify "capitalism," joining terms like "crony," "conscious," and "creative" to suggest that—with a bit of tweaking—capitalism can be saved. The report resonates with the old themes of the left: "technological progress benefits primarily highly skilled workers" (the shift from skilled long bowmen to muskets? The shift from skilled bookkeepers to offshored data processors?); an obsession with shifts in the distribution of monetary income (very little discussion of offsetting changes in the quality or prices of goods); worries about worker mobility; a view of the market as one of power struggles rather than evolving voluntary arrangements.
It's an interesting glimpse into the way the left is seeking to repackage its messages. Not much new: an appeal to envy, the plea for achieving "creative destruction" in a static economy, an unchanged belief that growth depends on government-led industrial policy, and clichés about technology and education. The left is desperate to retain control of the egalitarian moral high ground. This salvo is unlikely to succeed, but the broader approach should concern us.
Educating Tomorrow's Business Leaders on Markets and PoliticsFebruary 9, 2015 10:44 AM
This weekend I attended a fascinating event at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business on the subject of economic inequality. Prof. Rajshree Agarwal put together a program that included a series of short debates by her Executive MBA students, followed by a one-on-one debate on the same questions between University of Minnesota Prof. Paul Vaaler and Ayn Rand Institute Executive Director Yaron Brook.
Participants argued for and against propositions such as "Taxes (existing and new) should be used to reduce inequality of outcomes" and "CEO pays should be capped at some percentage of the lowest paid employee in the firm." The MBA students were assigned positions and debated based on recent readings, while Vaaler and Brook argued their own personal convictions on the meaning of economic inequality and the role of both business and government in responding to it.
Prof. Vaaler emphasized the role of participatory democracy in setting societal norms for questions like the just distribution of wealth, while Brook dismissed concerns about inequality per se, arguing that economic rewards should flow to whomever has earned them, regardless of the resulting distribution. The MBA students followed up with a highly engaged series of questions for both speakers.
Finally, the students were polled on a series of four questions having to do with inequality and had their responses contrasted with the answers they gave before the debate began. On 3 out of 4 questions, the students moved closer to Brooks' position—that either inequality is not an issue of paramount concern in the first place, or that public policy measures like capping CEO pay were not well advised.
While the specific result was encouraging from a free market point of view, the fact that business school students were being challenged on these issues at all is especially important. Business schools do an excellent job training future business leaders in areas like program management and creative problem solving, but don't necessarily focus on questions of politics and morality that are, nevertheless, also vital to operating a business in a heavily-regulated, mixed economy. Prof. Agarwal, who leads the newly launched Snider Center for Enterprise and Markets at the University of Maryland, is doing an excellent job of challenging her students on these issues. I have no doubt that tomorrow's shareholders will thank her when her students become CEOs themselves.
7 Quotes about Communism: Take 2December 8, 2014 6:38 AM
A few years ago I assembled several quotes about Communism that I thought would make good epitaphs for it. Unfortunately, the ideology has turned out to be far from dead. But the quotes I collected were pretty good, and I figure there's no better time to dust them off again than today, the 23d anniversary of the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Thanksgiving and MarketsNovember 26, 2014 4:03 PM
When the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony celebrated the first Thanksgiving on Massachusetts' Cape Cod, they shared a feast with the Pokanoket tribe, in thanks to God for the colony's bountiful harvest. As Plymouth Governor William Bradford explained in his memoirs, ending the colony's initial communal system produced the abundance of the first Thanksgiving, and marked the end to famine and plague, during which half the colony died. Governor Bradford explained that initially, "The strong…had no more in division of victuals and clothes than he that was weak and not able to do a quarter the other could..."
The key to the Pilgrims' success? Embrace of the market. Bradford observed the commune overcame its problems:
The experience…may well evince the vanitie of that conceite of Plato & other ancients, applauded by some of later times; that ye taking away of propertie, and bringing in comunitie into a comone wealth, would make them happy and florishing; as if they were wiser then God. For this comunitie (so farr as it was) was found to breed much confusion and discontent, and retard much imploymet that would have been to their beneflte and comforte...
So they begane to thinke how they might raise as much corne as they could, and obtaine a beter crope then they had done, that they might not still thus languish in miserie.
Corporate Action against Disease Points Way to Resiliency Strategy for Developing WorldNovember 20, 2014 11:33 AM
In a piece at The Freeman today, I examine how corporations in the developing world have reacted to the threat to their workers from diseases such as Ebola, AIDS, and malaria, for example:
Firestone, one of the world's leading tire producers, needs vast amounts of rubber and owns a huge rubber plantation in Liberia. The property encompasses 185 square miles, employs 8,000 people directly, and indirectly supports 72,000 more people who live either on the property or in surrounding communities.
When the first case of Ebola appeared on the property, the company initially attempted to place the victim in a hospital in the country's capital, Monrovia. Company officials quickly realized that the facilities there were inadequate, so Firestone set up its own Ebola ward in the company hospital. By mid-September, the facility was full. But through careful management, the disease was contained. A few weeks later, the facility was almost empty.
Firestone was able to do this because it had wealth, valued its employees and their families, and recognized the importance of stopping the disease. This is not an isolated example of a private company acting this way.
The Tesla File: Government Favors Cut Both WaysOctober 16, 2014 4:57 PM
Electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla Motors has become a fascinating case study in economic freedom in recent years, although the narrative is a complicated one. The most recent development for Tesla has come out of Michigan, where the state legislature has banned car manufacturers from selling vehicles directly to the public or from owning dealerships themselves, new restrictions that effectively outlaw Tesla's entire sales strategy, at least in the Great Lakes State. Michigan is not alone, however, in erecting restrictions on marketing and sales of cars that seem to target or effect only Tesla. Arizona, Maryland, Texas, and Virginia also ban the company from selling its cars in their states, although they can operate showrooms and residents can make purchases online. Colorado, Georgia, New Jersey, Ohio, and Pennsylvania also have restrictions or are in legal disputes with Tesla over what they can and can't do in those states.
Having to fight for the right to sell an otherwise legal product to willing customers – legislature by legislature – has created what Tesla's James Chen has referred to as "a game of whack-a-mole in every state." Just as the company has made its case before one state's officials, another state comes along and threatens to erect barriers that suspiciously seem to harm only Telsa while protecting market incumbents from increased competition. This can only happen so many times before it begins to seem like more than a coincidence. In this scenario, CEO Elon Musk is cast in the role of the victim of opportunistic legislation lobbied for by bigger, more entrenched rivals – the underdog fighting cronyism between big carmakers and state politicians.
Farewell to Our Friend, Leonard LiggioOctober 14, 2014 1:14 PM
We are saddened to hear our friend Leonard Liggio passed away this morning. Today, the liberty movement has lost an intellectual champion. The Competitive Enterprise Institute has lost a colleague and ally. And on a personal note, I have lost a reliable, ever-present partner since I first started working in this movement several decades ago.
Leonard was long the Don of the free market community. Realizing that CEI needed to move out of its infancy stage and expand its board of directors in the early 1990s, Fred Smith approached Leonard, who quickly agreed to serve on our team. He continued with that board role for nearly two decades, moving to emeritus status only last year. Leonard was whimsical in his conversation, grounded in his idealistic commitment, and often bemused by CEI's temerity in translating classical ideas into actual reform. And, he was always supportive.
I asked Fred to recount a few of his own memories of Leonard. Here is his reply:
Billionaire Diversity: Foreign vs. DomesticSeptember 17, 2014 10:46 AM
Brookings Institution scholar Darrell West, whose new book Billionaires: Reflections on the Upper Crust is being released later this week, has another intriguing graphic on the political influence of the extremely wealthy. Last week Brookings posted an interactive grid of the top players in domestic politics, the U.S. Billionaire Political Power Index. This ranking put Charles and David Koch predictably at #1, but followed by Michael Bloomberg and hedge fund manager/global warming activist Tom Steyer, with the likes of George Soros, Bill and Melinda Gates, Warren Buffett and Alice Walton filling out the rest of the list. As I pointed out at the time, the list shows that the exclusive club of politically active billionaires is hardly composed entirely of conservative or libertarian types, as some on the Progressive left would have us believe.
This week the rankings go international as West releases the Global Billionaires Political Power Index. This one includes a few crossovers from the U.S. influence list, such as Bill and Melinda Gates (#1), George Soros (#2), and Rupert Murdoch (#7). Interestingly absent are the joint-ranked Koch brothers, who despite being West's most politically influential billionaires in the U.S., didn't manage to even crack the top 15 worldwide. It seems Charles and David are only a threat to democracy (so sayeth Robert Reich) here at home.
