"Immigration has declined, removing another possible source of dynamism and disruption."
Yes, there is an absolute causal link between immigration and dynamism. Just look at the tech and innovation hubs of Leicester, Bradford and Whitechapel.
Disruption? Hyperimmigration of unneeded low-skilled labor from utterly different cultures and conservative societies would never lead to disruption. Just more awesome economic dynamism and growth!
Britain wants hope... We need an idea... And the only idea offering any hope for a better future is a homemaker allowance... Promote real families and the homemaker role and part-time work for women... and full-wage work for men... And let's see a return to normalcy in the new year
Happy Christmas
I will say something that British people won´t like... Britain itself is not strong enough to thrive without continental Europe. By comparison with Europe, you British are not completely screwed yet (for many reasons, but the most important is that you have your own currency and are not subjugated to German domination for its benefit). But even if your situation is not dramatic, your economy cannot grow straightforward while the rest of the continent is in a catastrophic crisis and everyone is cutting consumption. Your economy is too intertwined and your size and influence alone can't make the difference in the long term, so like it or not, your future and prosperity depends on the continent, no matter how much your politicians would like to be separated from anything labeled as European.
Huzzah for austerity!
I have a simpler plan than whatever has been proposed on this board:
1. Join EZ (i.e., trash the sterling, print EUR).
2. Let Frau Merkel handle your economy.
I understand it takes some 'out of the box' thinking.
Well , unfortunately a definition to 2nd step is still " feed greece for nothing " ! . I dont think merkel is any better .
Economist wants to be a left wing paper now?Whats with all this talk about change for the changes sake.If anything there is not enough stability and boredom in uk. The last decade was quiet a event packed one,more becoming of latin america or africa than citadel of law and progress and everything that is good on earth.
A supply of people able to work for less than their cost of living gives parsimonious firms a convenient pool of temporary workers. This is how two-tier labour markets, with a group of insiders enjoying job protection and a group of outsiders with none, are born. Undoing the situation can be impossible.
This two tier system may be part of reason for this stuckness. Call me old fashioned but I do not belive in 2 tier system for both economic or managment reasons. One way to undermine a legitamcey moral authority and respect is to 2 pay people 2 rates for doing the same job. Whether this be done on race class gender social background or poltical afficlation or hair cut or union memebership or indeed any basis.
In United newyork government pay union rates to interest groups. Although here in the UK it may be public sector where this type of non merit union sponered discrimination on wages is prevelant. The nature of the employement law changes in last 20 years has created a similar mirror of a union situation even in the absence of a union.
What I would think is that rights should be aligned. To reduce disparity between temporary rights and permant.
As the effects of some recent changes will be to reduce the percentage of women covered by maternity rights. By reducing peiord of temporary.
If someone said britian reduced materinity rights they would say this is not true. However if the effect is to reduce the number of women covered than the outcome is less working women covered by maternity rights.
This is typical british approach where have on the face of it a rule but so many exemptions double talk.
This is been the erosion of other rights through the use of agencies. I am not saying that should not be agencies of labour flexiblity. That would be for market people etc to deciced. What I dont like is the two tier slight of hand approach.
That has the effect of the young and minorities and low class being given less rights that than the older and better contected.
If some one can be let go with out reason after 1year and 11 months, why not after 5 years or 10 years? As the changing nature of employment means a jobs may completely change over 5 years so that the old employee is as a new employee performing a new task.
The workers with out rights the younger and often imirgants have to pay higher taxes to pay for the special interest groups protected either through public sector union proffesional bodies such as law.
Although have to pay special interest supplements in housing cost such as paying higher tax to pay for others on higher income to have subized rents on occasion or above true market rate rent as governments want to maniplate interest rates below market rate and stop construction so reducing supply.
In effect this is a private tax when paying rent on property that benefits going to people already owning property.
The the employment right disparites are in effect also a private tax so that some employees recived amounts above there share of productivityn of the buiness with 2 people doing equal work but diffwerent pay.
This sounds like some bonkers socialism buts its not. The reason its not is because in the long run it stops coperate memory, as its better to run a company with constant changing labour because of the uk law that allows a two tier system. This is arbitary, no economic reason. I am not saying what rights should or should not be. But these arbitary disinctions do nothing for efficency.
They undermine the system its self. As even quite low ability people are not going to give there best when paid half for others in the same buiness are paid. It also seems the change in the direction of teh agency problem where special interssts in public traded companys helping themself to extra handouts from shareholders. The longer serving employee has in sense claim for more rent from the shareholder. This is not effecient as ecourages people to stay in companies for shareholder rent. Rather that allow employment flexibility in labour market it creates incentives not to move.
These insider outsider has been disaster in public sector. Where some people could not be let go with large compensation payments and had half final salery retirement at 60 and pay bands meant that paid above market rate. Also the protected mangement that would not let anyone apply outside public sector for jobs.
It would appear that a similar two tier approach is growing in other sectors. Rather than reduce new workers rights a more efficent approach if rights have to be reduced in a world market would be to reduce all rights and aligin rights more closly.
Although not sure if this is biggest problem as in counrties such as china they spend on infrature engery production transport roads etc. They do not just have cheap labour. With new techonically the comparative advanage of cheap labour may change as advances in techology 3 d printers. So counrties commons and infrastrure may become more cirtical
So may be its not labour that is the UK biggest issue. Its the poor infrasture engery complete mess of the statesponered ponze scheme that is the housing market. The enitlement culture of baby boomers and insidered in the public sector and people runing public companies the proected workers the insidered who have full contracts.
It seem those younger workers are contributing the same productivity for less reward in work and also expected to finaince the ponze scheme housing market. On top of that pay for enitlment culture of baby boomers.
What is the marginal tax rate of an outsider, if included the private taxies such as two tier contracts where working for others to reivie more money on insider contracts. What is the tax rate on property where paying for others windfalls through manipulation. WHat is the tax rate on tax where paying for bady boomers ideless rather than services. Then the low paid agency worker is expected out of there low wage to pay for there own retirement as well.
It is no wonder young employment issues as expecting to work for the benefit of others. In a way babyboomers never did.
But more importantly what does this do to compeitiveness. If the relationship between productivy and reward is severed for so many.
Like a high marginal tax for richer workers the agency workers is both tax heavily through normal tax disprotionally as lower income people are with fixed tax such as council tax petrol and other duty and vat. Then on top of this they pay private tax sponsered by government particlly through law with wages and rights less than others. Then the pay a private tax on property through interference in the market by government.
By the time paid all these transfer payments not enough left to live a normal adult existance. This then means less incentive to work more because dont end with addional cost children etc morgage etc.
It seems that powerful interest groups baby boomers home owners public sector unions proffesional bodies buiness groups (many buiness people are not more than burcractis as in government seeking rent from organization ) distort. Not sure how two tier system efficent as in self means company is in effect taxing it self to pay for non productive. Like in american unionised manufaturers who took this to the extreme in vechcile manufature with 2 tier wages. more compeitive manufatures did not offer such disparities of pay for doing the same job. The UK speical interests makes the UK a like a general motors pre chaper 11 -)
Mr. Cameron is becoming frittered in a prelude to dithering. An intravenous injection of common sense is indicated.
The number of people working in jobs that they have held for less than a year, which is one measure of churn in the labour market, is lower than at any point since the government started to collect data in 1985."
The changes to employement law in this respect are in the wrong direction.
The change from 1 year to 2 years to let a new employee go with out reason will not help labour chain. It seems strange that exactly at the time when people are sticking to jobs for reasons of insecurity that futher insecurity is created. The UK is already what 5 ? in the last World economic forum competive index Labor market efficiency 5 the uks best score. So seem that not address a main problem.
Certainly would put me of moving jobs having this 2 year period 1 year was long enough in my view. Of course can find some special interest group that would look for longer if looked for it. But overall not sure this was a problem the uk had.
"Britain has become a country where nothing much is changing"
The Economist 8/12/12
"The 2011 census depicts the biggest social upheaval in modern times"
The Daily Telegraph 12/12/12
These are the results of a services economy dominated by satanic financial speculation: the bad influence of contemporary USA
The stasis will be ended by the event that usually ends stasis: war.
Millions of unemployed young men + resource scarcity + the end of pax Americana + the rise of China + human nature = war.
Whatever remains will look totally different from what we have now, so enjoy the stasis while it lasts.
Why is the economy stuck?
I've commented previously that we are caught in a vicious cycle. Banks won't lend if business performance is poor; business performance will remain poor if household consumption is low; household consumption will stay low if employment is down, and employment will not rise if business performance is poor.
And I mentioned that two types of expenditures lie outside this cycle – government spending, which previously I elaborated upon, and FDI, which I shall discuss briefly here.
But, first let' talk about measures to revitalise the financial sector. The £375 billion new money poured into the financial sector did not get us out of this cycle. The economy is still in stasis. Yes, GVA of the financial sector has grown 38% between 2006 and 2010, but the real economy remained in the doldrums. The reason is simple. The growth in the financial sector has been in speculative trading activities not in the lending business. For example, the trading book of one of the largest UK banks, 2.5 times the size of its banking business, grew by 49% during this period. The hoped for "forward" spillover from the financial sector has not materialised.
The new money would have done better if it were earmarked specifically for loans to the real economy i.e. if banks were prevented from freely moving money from their banking business to their trading books. So, there is an urgency in implementing the Vickers ring fencing recommendations.
Next let's consider FDI (inward foreign direct investment). When Tata acquired Jaguar Land Rover, they helped increase British exports and ensured the continued employment of thousands of British workers. More such inward flow of long term investment will not only create more jobs but will also boost UK's balance of payment. Perhaps Li Ka Shing might be invited to invest in the UK. And if Chinese companies face American prejudice, they could be invited to help Britain create a another Aberdeen-type energy industry boom, this time built upon wind energy rather than oil.
I believe that a combination of financial sector reform and judicious government spending and an aggressive FDI promotion programme will do what simple quantitative easing so far has failed to accomplish.
Well said. The younger generation has been sold out "big time". The older generation has by and large forfeited their right to bring UK forward. Just copycat US? QE is the latest example. The financial sector is the tradition of what is best in international banking with its roots in taking risks for real commerce and industry. Not proprietary trading (an import from US). FDIs to use UK as a base with its tested legal system for the emerging countries (eg China) to invest. We live in a global economy and UK can win with its skills, experience and traditions as has in the past by being the "middle-man". Unleash the younger generation to be part of the global economy and not be enchained to whatever dream or mess that is in Europe.
This article is completely senseless. It says nothing and has no meaning whatsoever. After 25 years of reading The Economist, this papers quality has seriously diminished. You can see it in a number of ways. The first is the partisan climate change decision that was obviously made at the top. That is but the tip of the iceberg. I will not renew my subscription and will start to pare down my visits to the website. Something is seriously amiss at The Economist. Britain will find its way out of its mess, Sperm counts won't go to zero, the climate won't cook us all...but The Economist has some serious self reflecting to do.
Good riddance.
Don't forget to check your sperm count now and then, though :)
If you represent Stanford and Berkeley...these institutions really need some self reflections if they agree with you.
The problem Britain faces is its society not having recovered from the loss of its colonies.
This 'colonial mindset' manifests itself in the following areas:
1 - Its economy having barely budged from a government-dominated, administrative model to an entrepreneurial one.
Running a successful business in the UK is difficult due to a questionable work ethic and the omnipresent 'old-boy' network based on class and ethnicity.
2 - Britain views Europe with a certain level of aloofness, presumably due to an innate fear of losing its identity and becoming 'just another European nation' (which it is).
Given the proximity of the EU, Britain should have been strongly influencing its economic policies (rather than being a reluctant participant)
3 - Britain still views its minorities (especially Asians) with an attitude of superiority, which has proven to be very costly. Its citizens of Asian origin fare worse than its US counterparts, mainly due to racism and exclusion.
A glaring example of a missed opportunity was Hong Kong. If, prior to its reversion to China, Britain had given its residents immigration visas, a couple of million hardworking, entrepreneurial Chinese immigrants would have changed the British economic landscape by boosting its productivity and forging strong economic links to China (the rising 21st century superpower)
This entire post has virtually no attachment to reality whatsoever.
In Europe, it is Britain that has a 'government-dominated, administrative model'? Not France, Sweden or any other of the big government spenders?
'The problem Britain faces is its society not having recovered from the loss of its colonies.'
Yes that right, everyone is mourning something that happened before nearly everyone alive was born. Rather like Italy is mourning the loss of the Roman empire? Grow up.
'Britain still views its minorities (especially Asians) with an attitude of superiority'
Absolute crap.
The fact that dismal comments like this get any recommendations at all is depressing.
'Britain still views its minorities (especially Asians) with an attitude of superiority'
I've experienced this first-hand, second-hand and third-hand.
(And if you think that an American-style entrepreneurial spirit pervades the British economy, you must be smoking something)
If you must indulge in borderline racist stereotyping, at least back it up with something more than personal anecdotes e.g. stats from a reputable source.
However, the only relevant conclusion is that people reacted badly to you, personally. The attitude in your posts provides evidence for this conclusion - certainly more than you provided.
This article (from the Daily Mail) dated May 2012 would provide the proof you are looking for http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2151056/Is-Britain-racist-nation...
(given your obvious blindness to the society society you live in)
And yes, my 'attitude' (of not demonstrating the required level of servility) did make your fellow-citizens extremely rude.
I am indeed happy to be living in the US, where people are generally treated with respect and equality. Which is certainly not the case in Britain where the great unwashed look down on foreigners and grovel at the feet of their ridiculous monarchy
The Daily Mail is a foul tabloid, on a par with Fox News, and certainly not a reputable source.
You really seem to have an unpleasant attitude.
I repeat, grow up.
Is the BBC a reputable enough source for you?
(Probably not. For people like you, no amount of proof will cure your selective blindness)
That is laughably tenuous. Are you actually trying to claim that discrimination based on race does not happen in the USA as well? Hispanics or Muslims 'are generally treated with respect and equality'?
You are not just selectively blind, you are a wilfully ignorant hypocrite.
You are now shifting the argument away from 'prove that racism exists in the UK' to 'racism exists everywhere'
In your attempt to slither away from facts presented to you.
(Go find a rock to slide under)
'You are now shifting the argument away from 'prove that racism exists in the UK' '
No, you did not claim that some racism exists in the UK (of course it does, don't be childish). You explicitly claimed that all minorities are viewed by all white British with an attitude of superiority - trying to shift the argument is laughable, it is clear for anyone reading this chain of comments.
'Britain still views its minorities (especially Asians) with an attitude of superiority'
This is, itself, racist.
Such ignorant generalisations mark you out as a unpleasant hypocrite.
Nothing will convince you that Britain views its minorities with an attitude of superiority.
1) When I attested that I personally encountered this, I was labeled as an unpleasant person. (Notwithstanding that fact that in my 25 years in the US I have never encountered racism. or that many people in the UK have also complained to me about being racially targeted).
2) When presented with an article by the Daily Mail, you labeled the newspaper as foul. When something similar was dug up in the BBC, then you dismissed with with the comment that 'racism exists everywhere, but prove that all minorities are viewed by all white British with an attitude of superiority'
You can attempt to slither away from the truth.
But the rest of the world sees the UK as a class-fragmented society with a monarchy at the top (with your queen owning 6.6 billion acres of land worldwide including Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia).
And no amount of obfuscation on your part can change it.
You made a childish and offensive generalisation based on pitiful anecdotes, ranted about government spending, made some half arsed remark about ancient history, denied what you wrote a page further up, and now have made a truly silly comment about royal land ownership.
This is not the action of a reasonable adult. If you are any older than 14, grow up.
You are suffering from paranoia my friend or you are just making it up and live abroad.
I was right you do live in the USA. How can you make so many racist comments about the UK based on reading the "gutter" press?
There is an attitude of superiority by establishment. The oxbridge entilement culture britians low social mobility rate.
Also the enitlement culture of special privilages and acceptance that things are not done on merit. That only an idiot would expect things could or should be done properly.
you cannot be right ever when arguing with this particular Brit - no generalization here.
Haven't you learned your lesson yet? :)
Guilty as charged :)
There are bad times just around the corner,
There are dark clouds hurtling through the sky
And it's no good whining
About a silver lining
For we know from experience that they won't roll by,
As Noel Coward put it.
Very amusing article, and so are the comments.
I tend to see the current situation in the UK as simply being "The New Normal". In other words, the UK economy is no longer driven by a credit bubble, so it's stagnant. This is normal, given social and demographic conditions.
My only advice would be to young British, and those with an entrepreneurial spirit: Don't waste your life waiting for a change on the national level - Migrate to Canada, Australia, the USA, or any other country where things are happening.
possibly only to the countries you listed, as going anywhere else might require speaking a foreign language.
If I was not nearly 35 would do that my self. As apart from anything britian is booring as so much done on privilage its undermines incentives like a soviet state.
Isn't this ostensibly the goal of good government: nothing changes?
All the arguments about government are about how things ought to be. Most likely if nobody is pushing hard to change anything, then it means we've gotten to where we "ought to be".
Of course old age has a lot to do with it. Old people, with failing memories, failing abilities to learn new things, and with fear of losing what they already have, put a higher value on security than on improvement, and old countries are comprised of old people. Young people, on the other hand, are prone to wanting to change things that they don't even understand (rebels without a cause, one might say) just for the sake of change itself.
Both extremes have their risks. In the absence of any serious threat, however, an old country of old people, where tomorrow is very likely to be just like today, is probably a fine place to live. Looking at history, an old country in comfortable stasis can often survive for quite a long time before anything drastic happens to shake things up. Perhaps a dozen generations got to enjoy the comfortable decline of the Roman empire before the actual fall of Rome. Japan is currently shuffling off into its dotage with no great pain.
Britain needs another Thatcherite junta to stir things up.
I fully agree with Baghot on this article.
Yes it is curious that there hasn't been another political disconnect (such as Thatcher) to shake things up, but I think it will happen soon.
But this time it won't be a Thatcherite lurch to the right. On the contrary, a crisis caused by banker greed and incompetence, mass unemployment, a downwardly-mobile middle class and dissafected youth may result in a lurch to the left.
I have no doubt labour will win the next election by a large margin because the Tory vote is being poached by UKIP. The emasculation of the Conservatives is analogous to that of US Republicans, broken between the Tea Party and the GOP. There is no coming back from that kind of bifurcation.
The recent UK census showed that fewer than 50% of Londoners now identify themselves as 'White British', so Tories face the same long-term decline as their US brethren.
I don't think current Labour leadership has the necessaries to capitalize on this groundswell, so look out for a dark horse coming through on the inside, probably from a rejuvenated labour movement.
In the UK, government spending is 47 percent of GDP.
If the companies and the people didn't have to carry such a corpulent mass on their backs, perhaps Britain's young adults wouldn't be forced into group housing with their elders.
How about the idea of less bleeding of the citizens to pay for the rotundity of oversized government?

Do you have the possibility to compare with a nvidia card?
It's not the same!
With my nvidia card (good ol' Geforce 7900GS) Firefox seems to be faster than in Windows XP (Vista is slower) even when compiz is active and with smooth scrolling activated, just unbelieveable.
Today I updated my 3d driver install scripts to work with Ubuntu hardy too, but what do you think I found out: 5-4 was silently updated to
label="ATI Proprietary Linux Driver-8.493.1"
DATE="Thu May 22 17:10:33 EDT 2008"
The first (and hotfixed) driver was:
label="ATI Proprietary Linux Driver-8.493"
DATE="Fri May 16 11:25:45 EDT 2008"
Why dont you call it 8-5-1 or whatever? Even nvidia would raise a 3rd value for minor updates. As this crappy driver still has the modelinebug and and test that every month of course I did not have 8.493.1 as target for auto remove modelines, which of course caused some trouble. I absolutely dislike hidden updates with different revisions!
That seems odd; let me ask about it. I agree that would cause problems for distributions.
Well it would be nice when you tell me that until the modeline bug is fixed, as I still hope that this will work in the near future again and use something like:
case $VER in 8.16.20|8.18.6|8.18.8|8.19.10|8.20.8|8.21.7|8.30.3 |8.31.5|8.33.6|8.34.8|8.35.5|8.36.5|8.37.6|8.38.6| 8.38.7|8.39.4|8.40.4|8.41.7|8.42.3|8.433|8.443.1|8 .452.1|8.455.2|8.471|8.476|8.493|8.493.1) RMML=1 ;; esac
Maybe I should use a whitelist... This is the blacklist needed for Debian etch - otherwise the Xserver usually crashes with one or more specified modeline.
Do you have a fully described bug report on this? In general, the modelines should only be needed when your monitor is broken or doesn't follow standards. This allows scope and impact to be understood.
A bug that appears in one application, but no others, or an issue with one particular monitor will generally appear lower on the priority list. The ability to reproduce an issue by removing as many barriers as possible is of critical importance.
PTS is a great way to get application problems reproducable, startup problems can only be supported old school - full bug report, with secondary confirmation of reproducability and full system information. The higher the number of full system information that can be provided to support the bug report the clearer it will be where the problem lies and clarifies the ROI of resolving an issue.
fglrx is the ONLY driver which crashes the xserver when you specify additional modelines. And you need em especially when you use non standard res on a CRT - because you want to use 1152x864 @ 100 Hz (funny thing to try: you can select this 100 Hz in the amdccle but when you check the monitor it is never 100 Hz) or 1280x960 @ 85 Hz. It is impossible to use those. Just TFT you usually only use with the highest res stored from EDID - which usually works. A driver has to use modelines when specified and use auto generated (defaults) + EDID if not. There should be no discussion if it is really needed or not, the xserver has to do this because it is standard.
Update: I went AMD/ATI. :facepalm:
Well, I also recently bought a new computer, with AMD 780g (ASRock A780FullDisplayPort + Phenom 9550). While the processor is somewhat sluggish (really my fault for not going for the Black Editions, but it was an upwards of 40 difference), I'm quite content with the performance of the on-board HD3200.
Sure, it could be better, and it _is_ much better on Windows (I shortly dual-booted to check the support on Windows, and I must say, I wasn't all that impressed - sound is better supported on Linux, even with the official AMD drivers). Videowise, AVIVO leaves the processor pretty much bored at 20-30% while playing an intensive h264 video, while on Linux the usage peaks to 70-100%, resulting partly in stuttering and forcing me on some files to fall back to the teary -vo xv on mplayer.
But, I still don't regret my choice of an AMD/ATI board. Sure, things might have been overall better if I chose an Nvidia chip-set or even chose Intel over AMD. But:
1. I'm glad I've supported a company that at least tries to be open-source friendly. "It just works, and works well" isn't an argument, or better, isn't the only facet to consider. Binary blobs are known to be buggy, and are not really renowned for their security.
2. Linux is still, honestly said, an exotic platform on the Desktop for all purposes. If you believe in GNU/Linux and want it to thrive, you have every reason to sacrifice performance for open-source friendliness and buy AMD. If you want cutting edge performance on the Desktop, there is already an OS where it's possible, where you don't have to whine about performance or stability and things just work.
Ultimately, being patient will bring about the desired change -- and the situation is improving all the time, imho.

Omega-3 Calamarine (30-day supply)
Item# CAL10
DHA-Rich Omega-3 Calamarine
- My recommended DHA-to-EPA omega-3 ratio
- Promotes healthy blood pressure, blood vessels, circulation, and heart rhythm
- Supports your body's natural anti-inflammatory response
- Promotes proper metabolism of dietary fat and cholesterol
- Supports brain health, cognitive function, and memory
- Promotes healthy eyes, skin, lungs, and bowels
My Omega-3 Calamarine is the same, trusted DHA-rich Calamarine found in Omega Q Plus, giving you my recommended ratio of DHA to EPA for superior heart protection and support.
With more of the DHA omega-3s that work hardest for your heart
Furthermore, research indicates that DHA omega-3s support cognitive function and memory, and promote eye health. This isn't surprising, given the fact that DHA comprises 95% or more of the omega-3 fatty acids in the brain and eyes. But DHA is harder to obtain through diet alone, and ordinary fish oils typically give you more EPA and little DHA.
Both EPA and DHA are important for heart health. In fact, supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease as part of a healthy diet.
I recommend supplementing with more DHA because emerging research shows that DHA plays a greater role in cardiovascular health. Studies show that DHA is better able to promote normal blood pressure, a lower heart rate, healthy blood vessel function, and healthy triglyceride and HDL cholesterol levels.
Good for your heart and for our global ecosystem
When you take Omega-3 Calamarine for your own good health, you can also feel great about the fact that this oil is sustainably sourced and won't upset our delicate global ecosystem, like over-fishing for ordinary fish oil has done.
Most fish-sourced omega-3s come from salmon, tuna, herring, sardines, and anchovies. And the growing demand for fish oil has seriously depleted stocks of these fish, which is a threat to the ecology of our oceans.
But the omega-3s in Calamarine come from calamari (squid) that are caught in pristine South American waters and have a very short life cycle, meaning there is a constantly renewing supply and no threat of over-fishing.
The squid is then processed in a state-of-the-art Norwegian facility, yielding pure, clean oil that's easy on your digestive system, with no unpleasant smell. And, it isn't the least bit "fishy" tasting…in fact it has no taste at all! Plus, it won't cause any unpleasant burping or "repeating," like ordinary fish oil can.
Scientific Research Results Confirm the Benefits of DHA
Growing research shows DHA (not EPA), is the omega-3 your body needs most…
- DHA Helps Your Blood Pressure: One study shows DHA fats have a more profound effect on normal blood pressure levels than EPA fats.1
- Your Arteries Need DHA: In a study of postmenopausal women, those with the highest levels of DHA, not EPA, showed healthier coronary artery health.2
- DHA Boosts Your Circulation: In one study, DHA outperformed EPA for increasing vasodilation and endothelial function—both of which are critical to healthy circulation.3
- DHA Supports Your Ability to Think: A nine-year study showed that DHA, not EPA, is associated with cognitive health and brain function.4
- Your Eyes Require DHA for Normal Function: Several studies have shown that DHA intake supports eye health—and that it's absolutely required by your retinas for health and function.
In a 2 softgel daily dose of Omega-3 Calamarine, you get 570 mg of DHA and 250 mg of EPA—a potent, heart-healthy balance that I highly recommend.
Make the switch to a superior source of omega-3s
For reasons both therapeutic and green, I believe DHA-rich Omega-3 Calamarine is the very best source of heart-healthy omega-3s. And my Omega-3 Calamarine supplement, makes it easy for you to get the exact DHA-to-EPA omega-3 ratio I recommend for your heart and overall good health!
For reference, here are the total DHA and EPA amounts that I recommend you take daily:
You can safely add Omega-3 Calamarine to any of my omega formulas you're already taking for extra heart health support. Or you can use it as a stand-alone omega-3 in your supplement regimen. Get started today with this exceptional heart health supplement!

– Editor's note: Mr. Evans is taking a well-deserved break this week. Due to reader response, we are reprinting this Remember When column, which was originally published in the July 26, 2009, edition of The Lancaster News. It is especially timely with the Lancaster County Fair opening Tuesday.
They called it a carnival. For me, it was more or less a county fair wannabe.
This small outfit popped into town during the lull of my summer vacation.
A new pair of shoes for a child may last a school year, but a smile, a few words of encouragement and the words, "Jesus loves you," may just last a lifetime.
That is exactly why volunteers from Renew Church, Covenant Baptist Church and Team Church Kershaw joined hands and hearts to distribute shoes to local children in need.
HEATH SPRINGS – There's a little piece of Lancaster in Tena, Ecuador, right now.
If you don't believe it, just ask someone from Flint Ridge Baptist Church. That piece is there, all right – on the edge of the Amazon rain forest, and it's there to stay.
That little piece of Lancaster?
It's their hearts. They were left behind in a Bible that Peter Wing left with a 10-year-old boy named Jimmy after the two became friends.
A new school year means many new things to consider and choices to make for your child.
One of these choices is what extracurricular activities to sign your child up for.
Scouting is something that may spark and interest in both you and your child and may be just what you are looking for.
Scouting is an affordable activity for most families, with the cost to sign up being just $12 for Girl Scouts and $15 for Boy Scouts.
Heather Curless has joined the ranks of successful Lancaster natives who are making their mark in the world.
She has turned her personal passion into professional success, and is helping others build a healthier, more environmentally friendly world for themselves and their communities.
Her retail store and showroom, Greener Stock, (www.greenerstock.com) in Cincinnati, Ohio, celebrated its first anniversary in January of this year.
The area in front of the Buford Middle School gym is sporting a new look because Donna Moree just happened to be in the in right place at the right time.
Red clay and barren ground has been replaced by sod, stone pavers, planting beds, benches, mulch and a pergola with vine runners.
Homer and Brenda Harmon of Great Falls were in Rock Hill when they decided to eat at Kentucky Fried Chicken.
"We went in to eat, but we didn't get to," Homer said.
That's because Homer was outfitted in white pants, a white jacket with a black handkerchief tucked inside and a white shirt with his colonel's "signature" string tie. He wore framed glasses and carried a walking cane.
These days, when Dale Walker goes shopping, you can count on there being a notebook full of manufacturer's coupons open on the baby seat in the top of her shopping cart.
"It's all about saving money," Walker said. "You'll do anything you can to save money these days."
A rough economy has reversed a 14-year decline in coupon redemption in the United States.
Coupon-clipping has become so popular that some stores are now advertising items to match manufacturer's coupons.
However, some of them have also revised their coupon policies to limit what customers can and cannot do.
Many retailers are attributing the changes to TLC's popular "Extreme Couponing" show, which showcases over-the-top couponing practices.
Within the next couple of months, Robert Truesdale's "office" will be empty.
That office is the seed counter in Ace Hardware and Garden Center of Lancaster, where Truesdale has weighed out seed of every kind and shape in the last 54 years. Truesdale, now a part time "feed and seed store" employee, will soon weigh out his last bag for one of the farmers who stop by to trade hearty stories and conversation.
That's because Lancaster is losing one of its oldest businesses.

Cyber information sharing bill gets new life in House
Thursday - 2/14/2013, 9:45am EST
Jared Serbu reports
Although last year's efforts to pass cybersecurity legislation in Congress were repeatedly stymied by gridlock, the top Republican and Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee say 2013's a whole new ball game.
Reps. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) and Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.), the chairman and ranking member of the Intelligence Committee, respectively, cosponsored one of several cybersecurity bills in the last Congress, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA). It cleared the House, but died in the Senate in the midst of a White House veto threat.
But Rogers said he and Ruppersberger now have mended fences with the White House. Addressing the Center for Strategic and International Studies Wednesday, Rogers praised the President for issuing an executive order this week to strengthen cybersecurity, a step he said would advance the cause of the legislation. He said it also was a good thing that the President brought up the topic during the State of the Union address.
"He also acknowledged we need to pass a bill in Congress, another very good thing. It's a tone change, and we're wildly accepting of that change," he said. "And the executive order, we think, takes a little bit of the pressure off of the Senate's insistence on creating [cybersecurity] rules, regulations and standards for private infrastructure. All of that combined, I think, increases our opportunity to get a cyber information sharing bill that we all believe is important."
And Ruppersberger said the Intelligence Committee and the White House now are actively discussing the way forward in Congress — a contrast to the environment surrounding last year's veto threat, which the Maryland Democrat described, at the time, as a "kick to the solar plexus."
"We had some issues with the White House last time, and we still don't agree on everything. But what we do agree on is that we're going to work together," he said. "Our intelligence staff and the White House staff are working together now. We had a commitment again today from the White House. They will work with us because they know how serious this is."
A more narrowly tailored bill
Rogers and Ruppersberger reintroduced CISPA Wednesday in a form they say is more narrowly tailored and that should solve the previous privacy concerns the White House and civil liberties groups expressed last year.
As opposed to the more overarching cybersecurity overhaul the Senate considered in the last Congress, the House Intelligence Committee bill focuses only on information sharing. The government's intelligence community would be ordered to come up with a secure way of sharing classified cyber threat signatures with Internet service providers and other private sector companies. Those companies, in turn, could voluntarily share threat signatures with the government and would receive liability protection from any lawsuits that could otherwise arise from transmitting proprietary data.
But Rogers said that protection would not be a blank check to violate customer privacy. Companies, he said, would only be able to send to the government information about bona fide cyber threats, not the actual content of email messages, Facebook posts or tweets.
"If this was about content, none of this would work," he said. "We're not worried about content. It has to be about trying to find malicious code that's embedded in an email or whatever, but that's not the content. But in order to doubly make sure agencies are following the law, we've said the inspector general must, every year, do an audit and then report to us on how they've used the information, what kind of information they got, if they got it wrong, how they rectified it and properly destroyed the information, and make sure it's not collected on government servers, which we thought was important."
Limited use of information
In addition to oversight and an annual report by the Intelligence Community Inspector General, the revised bill would clamp down on the government's use of any information it gets from private companies under the program. Last year's bill, for example, would have let prosecutors use that shared information in child pornography investigations or matters relating more broadly to "national security" investigations. This year's edition says agencies can only use the information they get from the private sector for "cybersecurity purposes."
Nonetheless, the new bill drew criticism from at least one civil liberties group. The Constitution Project issued a statement saying it could still be used to authorize domestic spying and hand over personal information to government agencies.
"The safeguards for privacy rights and civil liberties contained in this cybersecurity bill are woefully inadequate," said Sharon Bradford Franklin, the organization's senior policy counsel. "While the goal of protecting our nation's networks from cyber attacks is a laudable one, Congress must also address the very real threat this legislation poses to Americans' privacy rights and civil liberties."

Closing the commercialization gap in Northeast Ohio
Blog Entry:
May 10, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: BILL HAGSTRAND
William E. Hagstrand
serves as a Senior Consultant for NorTech and is responsible for driving engagement in cluster opportunities from inception to successful completion. This includes identifying and cultivating potential opportunities for participating organizations and recruiting organizations to the advanced energy cluster.
"Ecosystems that support technology commercialization must be built collaboratively by industry, higher education and government leaders."
This quote is from the
Fifth Report on the Condition of Higher Education in Ohio: Advancing Ohio's Innovation Economy
, issued in 2012 by the University System of Ohio Board of Regents. The report underscores challenges that exist for Ohio's higher education institutions, industry and government as catalysts for commercialization and innovation. A major issue, as illustrated in the report, is the "valley of death" that exists between knowledge creation and commercialization.
The issue was reinforced by a presentation given by Vinny Gupta, chairman of the Ohio Board of Regents and chair of the Commercialization Subcommittee, at the recent Ohio Fuel Cell Coalition Symposium. Mr. Gupta reinforced the need to create strong, regionally based partnerships between industry, higher education, government and regional organizations.
Both the presentation and the report highlighted that -- although Ohio universities rank well above average in executing new technology licenses, filing new applications for U.S. patents, and creating new start-up businesses -- our universities rank well below average when comparing gross commercialization revenue to the volume of research expenditures ($2.01 billion in 2010), as estimated by the Association of University Technology Mangers (AUTM).
Deficiencies lie in not taking full advantage of existing programs, organizations and entrepreneurial capacity for the benefit of spurring economic growth, according to the Board of Regents report. What we do know is that many of these existing programs and capacities are within independent research institutions in the community. These independent organizations often have strong affiliations with government and private industry.
Battelle Memorial Institute, a national research powerhouse headquartered in Ohio, is a well-known example of an independent research group that has worked on commercialization efforts with industry, government and higher education, both in Ohio and nationally.
Consider Battelle's work with the University of Akron in
battery safety technology
, with the goal of taking the sensing technology through to commercialization. Or consider the work between Battelle and Kent State that has resulted in the commercialization of an
advanced fuel cell application
for the military.
Another well-known research center in the region is taking an interest in new business development.
NASA Glenn Research Center
(GRC), headquartered in Northeast Ohio, has recently undertaken an initiative to open its doors, and talent, to more commercialization efforts in the community. NASA GRC still pursues top-notch research to support its core missions, including space operations and exploration, aeronautics, and earth and space science.
However, by expanding on its existing expertise, NASA GRC is developing strategic partnerships with academia, industry, and other government agencies. It is actively pursuing relationships within several non-NASA funded areas, some of which have not been traditional targets, including:
• Advanced Energy
• Human Health
• Homeland Security
• Aviation (non-NASA funded)
• Space
• Materials
The objective is to aggressively pursue and capture non-NASA business opportunities that can use GRC's capabilities, yet still align with the Center's NASA business. Specific to advanced energy, NASA GRC is forming partnerships with the University Clean Energy Alliance of Ohio (UCEAO), NorTech, the Greater Cleveland Partnership, Team NEO, the Ohio Aerospace Institute, and the Great Lakes Energy Task Force.
NASA GRC has a history of awarding funding and grants to Northeast Ohio universities. In its pursuit of more university alliances to develop new business, NASA GRC states that "a means to work together is to partner with universities whose students or faculty can work in partnership with GRC and be allowed access to utilize unique GRC resources. GRC is working to establish strategic alliances with the universities in the State of Ohio."
It is not the lone responsibility of Ohio's universities, or industry or government to close the commercialization gap. But I think it should be the ecosystem's collective goal to work on commercialization efforts, including economic development and investment organizations, as well as independent research organizations. We are seeing these efforts begin to come to fruition in order to build a strong and collaborative culture for economic growth.

text: The late Sir Alexander Arnold Constantine Issigonis, Alec Issignonis to his Internet friends, designed a car that was sold as the Morris Mini-Minor, the Austin Seven and later the Austin Mini. Go to the Mini USA website and check out the models, though, and every one of them is called a Cooper of some sort, e.g., Mini Cooper Paceman or Mini Cooper S Roadster. So who is Cooper?

NEW BREMEN 64, FORT RECOVERY 55 COLDWATER — The New Bremen Cardinals survived a rough second quarter and made their free throws down the stretch to advance in the Division IV sectional tournament with a 64-55 victory over the Fort Recovery Indians at Coldwater. The Cardinals (13-8) will advance to the sectional championship on Friday at 8:00 against the Ada Bulldogs. Carson Manger led the Cardinals with 21 points and nine rebounds and Nolan Fox had 14 points. Elsewhere Division II
NEW BREMEN — Late afternoon storms postponed the Division IV sectional softball final between New Bremen and St. Henry scheduled for Monday.
The Cardinals and Redskins will play tonight at 5 p.m. at New Bremen. The winner advances to the district tournament at Wapakoneta on Tuesday, May 15 against the winner of Ada and Hardin Northern.
St. Henry won the regular season match-up 10-0 on April 19.
Minster will play in district action at Wapak on Wednesday, May 16 at 5 p.m. against the wnner of today's Lima Perry-Ridgemont game.
BATH TOWNSHIP — Celina's powerful offense, paired with a strong performance in the pitching circle by Kaitlynn Kerr, muscled Celina past their Western Buckeye League rivals and into the sectional title game.

MINSTER — Four runs in the first inning by the Fort Recovery Indians was all they needed as they defeated the New Knoxville baseball team 4-1 in the opening game of the Division IV sectional tournament held at Hanover Street Park in Minster.
St. Henry defeated Marion Local 1-0 in the second game despite being no-hit until the seventh inning. Second-seeded New Bremen will face the Redskins this week in a sectional final.
LIMA — The St. Marys first doubles team of Josh Parker and Kevin Dammeyer finished fourth at the Western Buckeye League tournament on Saturday.
After advancing to Saturday's action with a win on Thursday, Dammeyer and Parker fell to Shawnee's Derek Smith and Garrett Diltz in a semifinal match, 1-6, 1-6.
Parker and Dammeyer lost to Rex Axbell and Anthony Kennard of Wapakoneta in a third-place match, 1-6, 1-6.
ST. HENRY — Minster's foray into Friday night extra innings produced a happier ending this time thanks to a pair of home runs and a relief appearance from Austin Knapke that had the length of a start.
A week after losing in 15 innings in a Midwest Athletic Conference contest at Coldwater, Minster emerged with a win from a double-digit inning affair against another Mercer County MAC foe.
On a day Minster (19-5, 6-2 MAC) otherwise struggled to hit the ball, it was a pair of home runs that got the job done.
MARIA STEIN — As the clean-up hitter in the St. Marys line-up, Michael Huber looked out at the flag in center field whipping directly out and saw the opportunity for a big day.
"As a hitter, I was definitely excited," he said.
Huber said the wind helped him on the hill, too.
The Rider senior hit two home runs — including a seventh-inning grand slam — and pitched six strong innings in St. Marys' 8-2 win over Marion Local on Thursday.
50 Years Ago – 1962
MINSTER — Minster's early offensive explosion accomplished a few things.
Taking a 9-0 lead through three innings allowed the Wildcats to coast to a 10-0 win over New Knoxville on Wednesday night in the resumption of a rain postponement from the night before.
The big lead also let Minster head coach Mike Wiss get his pitching staff lined up for next week's tournament, a glaring need with rainouts and a scarcity of games left to let his deep and talented pitching staff get its work in.
Division II Baseball
The St. Marys baseball team received the second seed and a first-round bye in the first round of the Division II sectional at Elida's Ed Sandy Field.
St. Marys will play the winner of Celina and Shawnee on Wednesday, May 9 at 5 p.m.
Elida and Kenton open the sectional on Saturday, May 5 with 10 a.m. game. The winner of that game plays top-seeded Wapakoneta on Tuesday, May 8 at 5 p.m.
Celina plays Shawnee on Saturday, May 9 at 12:30 p.m. after the Elida-Kenton game.
WAPAKONETA — Sometimes it's not the team that makes the most plays that comes out on top. Sometimes it's the one that makes the fewest mistakes.
Friday night, that team was the St. Marys Roughriders.
St. Marys took advantage of a slew of miscues in the first three innings to post a 5-1 win over the rival Wapakoneta Redskins in a Western Buckeye League varsity baseball game at Wapakoneta High School.

Simple-to-use device removes ticks safely by grabbing the mouth parts at skin level and removing them in one motion without touching the tick. Read More
Featured Advice from Our Experts
Flea Wars (Part 2) - Demystifying Key Ingredients
One of the biggest misconceptions about flea treatment is that switching brands is the same as rotating. Rotation of active ingredient is key in getting ahead of a flea infestation. The sad truth is, the majority of the products on the market today share a very few common active ingredients...
- Brand: Ticked Off
- Insect Type: Ticks
Reviews (4)
"Ticked Off"
I run a wildlife hospital, as well as rescue/adopt special needs dogs. This item is hands-down the best device ever for removing ticks. It works on any size tick, any level of engorgement without ever leaving the head or causing the tick to burst and get blood everywhere. A simple device, but works great.
This removes ticks of all sizes from all places on dogs & horses of all sizes. Works every time - painlessly! Everyone who owns a dog or horse should have one of these in their first aid kit or with other necessary supplies. It is wonderful!
"Great Product"
This is the best tick removal product I have found. It is easy to use and you never need to touch the tick. I like the bright colored spoon, it is easy to find in the first aid supplies. Get the multi pack, your friends will want one too.
"Most Amazing Thing Ever!"
This is the coolest tool I have ever seen! It is amazingly simple to use, the dog feels no pain when the tick is removed, and you are sure to get the entire tick every time! Even if you only see a tick occassionally, you should have one of these! I recommend them to everyone I know who has a dog!

Special edition for enthusiasts in Bahrain!
A special KTM X-BOW was delivered a few days ago to the location where the engines of the Formula 1 World Championship teams roared just a few weeks ago. A collector from Bahrain took possession of his first KTM X-BOW at the Bahrain International Circuit - and the car plays "all the tricks" as we would say in Austria!
This all began with the extraordinary look of the production series KTM X-BOW GT, now fitted with a windscreen. All components are made of carbon – from the three-piece, completely flat, fully covered motorsports underbody with diffuser, to the mudguards and the aerodynamically optimized wing mirrors. As with every model, the monocoque, the heart of the KTM X-BOW, consists of 100% of the nearly indestructible high-tech material that meets even the most stringent security requirements.
The most striking characteristic of the custom model for Bahrain is certainly its color. The body parts of the latest model from the KTM X-BOW range are finished in original 'Bugatti-Blue', as are the brake calipers, roll bar and 'KTM' logos. There was no question of 'can't be done', since the collector from the Middle East owns several Veyrons and the color could be carried out in direct cooperation with Bugatti.
Although it is no real surprise that the lucky owner honored the KTM X-BOW as literally the "best car I've ever driven" after a half-day test session on the Bahrain Formula 1 circuit: A tuner increased the power of his model to 400 HP, all that at not quite 840 kg weight! The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is therefore less than 3.5 seconds, and with appropriate tires, the X-BOW takes the curves with over 2.0 g of lateral acceleration.
The Graz manufactory produced KTM X-BOW GT was personally handed over by the Production and Site Manager, Michael Wölfling: "For us it is always a great occasion to experience the enthusiasm and pleasure that a hand-finished X-BOW produced by us in Graz can trigger in a new owner. In this case, it is even more special because this customer truly owns every hypercar and super sports car. This encourages us immensely in our work and provides us with additional motivation!"
