I think that free trade across the atlantic is vital. It would stimulate two injured economies and help America export more to europe and vice vesa reducing their trade share with China, improving the Bop situation's. This would also allow them to as mentioned in the article to move towards regulatory cohesion which helps to limit fraud, money laundering and trafficking (few examples amongst an ocean of benefits).
The biggest barrier is likely to be america's orientation closer towards the right wing than europe. Its large population of generally sceptical politicians, not limited to but predominantly republican. and most significantly the general european stigmata which is widespread across the country due to europe's larger socialist orientation.
It is also key to mention regulatory differences between the two as many of you have mentioned gun control etc, but both countries share a general common ideology and also very similar situations socially and economically which therefore makes this trade agreement more viable and more appropriate.
"What first strikes the visitor with amazement is the superiorty of this country (note Unites States of America), in matters of tecnology and organization...Everything is designed to save human labour...The high price of labour was the stimulus that evoked the marvellous development of technical devices and methods of work. The opposite extreme is illustrated by over- populated China and India, where the low price of labour has stood in the way of the developlemt of teh machinery. Europe is halfway between the two."
Albert Einstein, "Ideas and Opinions"
I am an european. I have been to New York. I, of course, love french literature (Sartre, Proust, Balzac, Camus) and french cuisine ("ça va sans dire") the fabulous "Pierre Gagnaire", Rue Balzac, 6, Paris), italian food (il bello gelato), italian art (inside and outside: Roma, cittá eterna, Teatro Marcello, coliseo, panhteon, via condoti, galleria borghese), germam philosophy and poetry (Kant/Hegel/Feuerbach and, of course, Goethe (naturlich), English literature and english theatre (teh best in the world), spanish flamenco, portuguese food (the best fish in the world), portugese literature (The Nobel Saramago, and Pessoa, the best ever, "The Book of Desquit" - a masterpiece), but I also crazy about Central Park, Bryant Park, Licoln Center, MOMA, Guggenheim Museum (The Museum Mile - fifth avenue, one bag for shopping, other bag for art), Broadway (Gershwiw Theathre - Wicked - fabulous).
There are, of course, some differences between Europe (as noted, gun control, and others), but both Europe and US share the some values.
This agreement may not be a "magic bullet", but it certainly help.
I am sure it has not escaped your attention that the USA is a Common Law country like the UK, not a roman law one like the continent.
What ever is agreed will have to cover both legal systems, and it is noted that EU rules do not fit well in a Common Law system, so no doubt the USA will face the same problems.
Look at the way Indian businesses are treated by France, and yet they are a huge success in the UK.
To be blunt, it is without a doubt the EU will try and wiggle the wording to suit itself.
Differences between the law systems on each side of the Atlantic are overstated in my opinion. Doing business here and there when dealing with the core areas of private law I couldn't notice a decisive incompatibility.
What you are probably referring to is the "Corpus Juris Civilis". It was translated into French, German, and Spanish in the 19th century, but only those parts dealing with private equity were an idea-generator or partly borrowed by the more modern Constitutions of European countries.
In Europe, civil rights interpretations are usually based on the more contemporary conceptions of the UN Charter. Both, the US Constitution and the UN Charter, were heavily influenced by ideas and concepts voiced during the Age of Enlightenment (in the mid of 18th century), when the concept of human/civil rights first emerged as an explicit category. This concept sees all men and women as autonomous individuals, endowed by nature with certain inalienable fundamental 'natural' rights that could be invoked even against a government.
However, common understanding about inalienable fundamental civil rights doesn't absolve a free trade zone from the burden to adjust to mutually applied product standards and consumer safety norms. E.g., in order to be more competitive on the European markets US manufacturers will need to adopt the metric system to the full extent ('forced' by the markets not by the governments), while successful European exporters already adjusted considerably to US norms and standards.
The latter is, IMO, one of the reasons why European manufacturers are generally more successful in conquering US markets than vice versa.
Despite some minor differences (e.g., when it comes to gun control, LOL), Europe and America share pretty much the same values. And what is even more important for a free-trade zone: Companies on both sides of the Atlantic have similar 'unit labor costs'. Thus, there is no looming danger that the free market will be flooded with products manufactured under wage-dumping conditions, neither from one side nor from the other. Living standards are comparable.
Such deal would bring the world's largest comparable import and export economies into a closer relationship, which makes lots of sense. Common market interests would also stabilize trans-Atlantic defense relations and build a platform for further future development.
These are all reasons why I salute the idea of uniting the American and European economies under a joint free trade agreement. The deal would purportedly create a free trade zone with a value in excess of $4 trillion - even close to $5 trillion if the economies would pick up soon, as a result of the agreement.
In my opinion, this idea carries many more "Pros" than "Cons"!
The also allows dodgy Chinese surgical equipment through, like hip replacement sets, no questions asked. Though the US will have a trading partner where it helps the mafia. Italy and Spain have a black market that covers around 20% of the market, and one knows that the mafia are rife in parts of eastern europe, more money for Putin allies.
Beware French beef is horse!
"The French food company at the centre of the horsemeat scandal specialises in pre-prepared frozen dishes, a third of which are exported. Comigel, based in the north-eastern town of Metz, supplies tens of thousands of tonnes of frozen meals to around 15 countries.
It was the manufacturer of the Findus frozen lasagnes, some of which contained up to 100% horsemeat."
phima, lets just understand where things are going. The EU will increase in size, that is hardly disputable, and will suddenly find itself getting in to disputes with its neighbours.
The middle east is not a terribly friendly neighbour, europeans have not been very good neighbour to Africa, and then you have Russia.
The EU will have to cling to the USA, even as the USA declines.
I would rather not bet chained to the EU, a seat at the council more valuable, as the 'Federation' makes foes of friends.
The USA looks after itself, and so it should, and the UK knows this.
"After decades of trade rows and lawsuits, the truce is meant to clear the air for an ambitious transatlantic free-trade deal. EU officials speak of creating "something approaching a transatlantic single market in goods". Even a less grand pact could help to re-energise struggling economies on both sides of the Atlantic. It could also help America and Europe to set international trade rules in the face of a fast-rising China"
After having fucked the European people over with the European Union and the Euro, here is the next "treasure" to fuck even more European citizens and as usual to take all decisions behind people's back. Under the reason of a recovering economy, the entire press will soon be winding us up with that mess.
Big business wants a deal. Trade unions and greens are no longer so worried about a race to the bottom. "The ever-protectionist French and Italians are on board."
Kidding or what ? The ever-protectionist are the USA not the French nor the Italians. Anyway the French and the Italians are not on board on the contrary ! The author of this article seems to speak and think as if he were in the French or Italian's shoes !!!
For over two years there has been an open online consultation on an EU-US free trade deal (and what kind of changes/ accommodations citizens want) - and there have even been adverts to get people involved.
None of this is behind closed doors. And it is a great opportunity for small businesses, entrepreneurs, workers and consumers.
Fantastic idea. Not easy, but essential. Obviously we can see difficulties. Specially about farmers. Farmers are a powerful lobby in both parts. In the US, they are used to subsidies in some products of strategic relevance. In the EU, the CAP still captures about 40% of EU budget. Difficult but not impossible and absolutely required. It would be a victory for free market and those more competitive companies. It´s time to let the countries to specialize in those products or services they are competitive. It´s time for the end of subsidies. If the US are more concerned about the Pacific, Asia and China, I don´t see a problem. A free trade deal among US and EU means strengthen both regions so they should be in a stronger position in front of China. Such agreement would be fundamental for world balance and stability. It also would be the definitive way out to the crises.
Farm subsidies (like guns) should be banned completely. Anything that brings the day closer is good.
I support clear food labeling. All non-GM food should carry the label "product of random genetic mutations".
But aren't all crops artificially genetically modified? After all, selective breeding is quite explicitly genetic modification, and literally every crop grown today is the product of centuries of selective breeding. Five hundred years ago, none of the crops we use today even existed in their modern forms; we changed them.
"The ever-protectionist French and Italians are on board." Where do you get that from? Do you have statistics of, lets say, combined exports and imports to GDP?
Combined exports and imports to GDP:
US: around 26%
France: around 45%
Italy around 46%
If USTR and the European Commission really want a trade deal they will exclude intellectual property all together. Recall the opposition to SOPA and ACTA last year both were defeated by popular opposition. do u s a p r has repeatedly used trade agreements to change intellectual property rules than harmonize them, seeking to enact the agendas of moribund encumbents.Intellectual property issues are a live rail in both the US and Europe, contact will kill the agreement.
It's rarely in the long-term interest for an economy such as the United States to sign a free-trade agreement with a declining economy such as the European Union that is becoming increasing dependent upon exports to generate its growth. As Europe's domestic market shrinks, its market will become less attractive to US exporters. Meanwhile, as the US continues to expand, European exporters will realize more opportunities for growth in the US.
Since Bretton Woods the United States are the only country in the world able to pay endlessly for all imported goods with QE-dollars and IOUs. Any other country would descent into an Uganda-style entity at the first try.
America has developed a severe issue regarding trade agreements, see ACTA and TPP. It starts well, then Hollywood hijacks it and tries to enforce absurd, orwellian IP property laws.
It also would damage Europe more than it would boost the economy. The American companies have an advantage due to cheap energy (shale gas). They could simply flood the European market with cheap products.
Well, actually there is little point in racking your brain - the EU is reaching the end of it's life.
Oh please. As if pushing intellectual property rights is any more ridiculous than the EU's "geographic indicator" idiocy.
Piracy and knockoffs should be a minor issue. These countries SHOULD be on the same page as each other, since counterfeiting is far less common in either compared to Asia, and both have massive intellectual and cultural works to protect.
On energy: it's not like Europe doesn't have plenty of shale gas itself, it's just too obtuse to use it and would rather go on using dirtier, more expensive coal or politically loaded Russian gas. And it's not like cheap energy is any guarantee of a manufacturing advantage - German car manufacturers fare far better than American ones, despite higher energy costs.
Free Trade between the EU and the US makes a lot of sense - in some ways far more sense than trade pacts between mismatched economies like the US and Mexico. But the EU is too fractured and too full of ridiculous opinions on the most inconsequential things (like food, or piracy) for it to ever become a reality, in my opinion. The moronic anti-American comments to this article reinforce that, I think.
"Geographic indicator idiocy" is an intellectual property for food.. You can't call your cheese Parmesan if it doesn't come from the region where they actually created it and doing it with a special process. You can't name your wine a Bordeaux if it doesn't come from Bordeaux..
But you're free to do any kind of "parmesan" or whatever grape wine you want on your own, as long as you name it something new.
Or how consumers would know what they are eating/drinking ? If every wine in the world can share your name, where is the motivation to do something good or healthy0 ? We see it with some wine's copy sold in Europe, they are disgusting wines sold at the real price. But they don't care, because you can taste it only after you bought it.
San Francisco wines are getting a good reputation too. And I'm sure you're happy to know where this great wine you are drinking is coming from. Like that, you'll have the opportunity to drink more later.
As you can't sale your own made Ipods, you're still free to build and name any portable media controlers.
"most inconsequential things (like food.."
If you're more interested in your TV, computer and cars than what you're eating, good for you. But respect people who disagree.
It is an intellectual property issue, but it is in its own league as far as ridiculousness goes - you can't label something what it is (and what it has been for hundreds of years) because it wasn't made in the right place? Please. In my opinion, that's a very different thing compared to people counterfeiting designer bags or downloading Hollywood movies. People are actually having their work stolen, not having their legitimacy challenged based on where they live. Where do you draw the line with these stupid rules? How about Chicago deep dish pizza? Buffalo wings? Spaghetti Bolognese? French Fries? English Muffins?
I'm all for labelling the point of origin of food, or any product. I'm also all for the right of companies to brand their product and be free of counterfeiting. I'm not for places laying claim to an entire style of food or drink because their distant ancestors happened to have made it (or at least labelled it) first.
I say inconsequential because, in the grand scheme of things, finished foodstuffs make up a tiny sliver of the trade between North America and Europe, and controversially named foodstuffs an even tinier sliver. That is what decisions on a free trade agreement should be made off of - not some stupid sticking points like whether you can call a Bordeaux wine grown in California a Bordeaux wine. An agreement that could greatly help the economies of both the US and the EU is being held up by a thousand stupid, pedantic arguments like yours.
Because it's a brand name. A sumsung phone can't be called an Iphone even if it looks almost the same. It's a product, a business.. If you don't have a brand name, how do you distinct produces and makers ? Why food products couldn't have brands while manufactured products do ?
You can't call a Bordeaux made in California a Bordeaux. Because it's not the same place. Bordeaux means nothing BUT that it's made near Bordeaux. It exists hundred of different wines there. Like american could call californian wines Californian.
It's the same with Parmesan, they are made near Parme.. It's cheese, and their brand name is Parmesan. Many people are making their own kind of parmesan, but they are not the same, because food is reliant of the local climat and ground.
You are right when you point that this is not really an issue. I don't understand how it could be a problem for a FTA. If a better product enter the market, people will switch from these to the new one.
We should forget about America. There is little hope for them..
We don't want their GM food and food patents. Cold hearted capitalism and lack of control and regulation.
Lets focus on organic food, freedom and good choices and try to influence the rest of the world with these things.
Americans can't be helped.
Food in the EU would be a lot cheaper if it was not for French protectionism.
you are free to buy food from wherever you want, if you want to become fat with hormon meat and become a monkey with OGM, I don't think that France has the power to stop you. The thing is that no French productors or Merchands want to have these EU rules which would say "sed OGM, buy Hormon meat"...forced on them.
you're just of bad faith
Then don't buy them so shops put them on your shelves. That is the thing with 'free trade', you are free to trade where there is demand for what you supply.
I know you are only French, and the notion of not having a protected market is something of a shock, but the EU is not France and nor is the world.
People in the EU would be a lot healthier if it was not for British short-term vision.
Seriousely, can you give a break with you French bashing and bigoted comments. Your rants on everything French or supposedly French won't make you look more pro "free trade".
And you can back up your comment with some facts? British Standards are amongst the highest in the world, while France can even sort out 17th century waste water solutions.
Don't make me laugh !
You should be free to choose, as everybody else. You should not be free to mandate other people choices.
Who cares if it is cheap? perhaps we should spend more money to eat better food. Afterall, food is far more important than a computer.
The free market doesnt work as long as the ones using it knows not what they do.
I should be free not to let people who do not know what they do, make the choices for me.
Actually, since they do, I will have no choice.
In the US they have no choice anymore, its mostly all GM and one company supply all the seeds.
The USA should take notice that Germany wants the UK in the EU to balance out the protectionist 'latin' members protectionist impulses.
France and other latins break a large number of rules on subsidies in the EU alone, and they will kick up a fuss if the USA is even seen to slightly do so to cover for themselves.
Look at the insults thrown at Indian businesses in France!
As for 'franken foods' I am sure that Americans don't want to find horse and pig in there beef burgers, as has recently been found in imported burgers from the continent in the UK.
not quite, so far it's rather Cameron that scrowls the red teppish to Germany
"France and other latins break a large number of rules on subsidies in the EU alone"
Sorry but Britain gets its lot too (fast half of France PAC, + the Rebate, + structural funds), idem Germany, Poland...
as far as breaking the rules, doesn't seem that France was the first, Germany was.
"as has recently been found in imported burgers from the continent in the UK."
can't you make your own's? I'm sure that they weren't french's anyways !
Illegal French (and Spanish) government subsidies to agriculture and fishing industries are well known. France got burnt when caught out giving illegal subsidies to vineyards, and had to keep giving straight out the public purse.
France broke the fiscal rules 7 times, only Portugal Italy and Greece were more prolific:http://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/the-staggers/2011/12/deficit-rules-germany-france
France failed to follow the budgetary rules from the start:http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2003/sep/03/eu.france
France even fails to treat waste water!:http://www.euronews.com/2008/01/31/french-waste-water-treatment-still-breaking-eu-rules/
France generally tries to hide behind so called 'tax breaks' as a way to overtly subsidise the private sector.
The USA will have to keep a close eye on the French to insure they are playing by the rules.
really? it's the PAC, dear ol bartender
Fisheries are part of the agriculture department
hmm Don't you remember? Brit fishermen on the Normandy coast, fishing too young coquilles St Jacques? they clashed with the french fishermen, that were respecting the norms, them.
Guardian as a trustful source? never when it comes on France, even DT is more fair !
French trawlers tradition of 'bottom trawling' is destroying coral reefs, the habitats that help keep up healthy fish stocks, so French fisheries owe the UK damages.
The UK has banned the practice, and yet the French continue to use it outside French waters.
" THE destruction of Britain's sea beds by largely foreign-owned fishing fleets is to continue after the French blocked a potential EU ban on deep-sea bottom trawling.
The European commission had pledged to phase out deep-sea bottom trawling and bottom gill-net fishing in European waters because such techniques do massive damage to the sea bed by dragging heavy gear across it, destroying all life.
However, on Friday, Michel Barnier, the French commissioner for the internal market, blocked the EU legislation that would have ended such techniques just 30 minutes before the deadline.
The draft ban explicitly mentioned the French and Spanish fishing fleets as the main culprits for the destruction of sea life in the waters around the British Isles."http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/public/searescue/article1081511.ece
And yet France keeps paying illegal subsidies to keep the practice alive:http://www.bloomassociation.org/download/BLOOM_French%20Deep-Sea%20Fisheries_Light.pdf
curiously, it's what is repproached to your ships, and to the German ships too
"Michel Barnier, the French commissioner for the internal market"
So far the Britmedias would rather attack him for wanting to regulate the Finances, not the internal market
"France halts German giant trawler accused pirate fishing
The Maartje Theadora, nicknamed "the vacuum cleaner seas" because of its 141 meters long - making it one of the largest vessels in the world - is the subject of a criminal investigation the gendarmerie maritime "for violations of regulations EU fisheries that take both the fishing mode and species which are caught"
"Exclusive: French fishermen in collision of Scots
At 11am, the fleet was in the 2000 vaulters English, Scottish and Irish, accused by local fishermen plunder the resources for several weeks"
So, you, guis are the net guis you pretend to be
"The USA should take notice that Germany wants the UK in the EU to balance out the protectionist 'latin' members protectionist impulses."
I suppose that does not only apply to Germany but also to the Netherlands, Ireland, the Nordic Countries, and to many Eastern European ones.
Franken foods! Europe is the land of Luddites. A key reason why it can't have free trade with the land of innovation America.
The most luddite society in the west is America. Your gun law and your entire legal system is directly taken from the middle ages. It is true that Europe lacks a lot of inventions, like the electric chair, but on the other hand - you see, when the Amercians made it to the moon the Soviets said: "Look, they abducted the better Germans."
And by the way, I'd rather not take recommendations from Americans regarding my diet - I'm pretty much in shape.
I'm not sure "Luddite" means what you think it means.
I think you mis-spelled 'New Zealand'
Try counting Nobel Prizes instead of referring to an index using soft data.
The EU and Britain will never be cemented. We may vote to remain a member, but it will be because of threats. It will be a reluctant 'YES' but we will never be happy with it. Not that politicians will be bothered about that.
'We know that for a Brit, food has no importance, but you will not find supporters in France, Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal your such products.' [Hildegarde]
My experience of meat bought in France is that it is more expensive and less tasty than meat bought in England. French beef in particular is a great disappointment. In fact, here's my rule of thumb: the tastiness of meat is is in direct inverse proportion to the pretentious pontification, covert protectionism, and general bla-bla-bla about tradition, 'bio', and the local terroir which accompany it. As the Bard put it, 'What a rogue and peasant slave I am!'
The single exception to this rule is poultry. Thus spake Ernie Epicure.
would you think that we believe you?
knowing that Cows and veals come from Britain and Ireland into our slaughting houses (I know it from the first place, I used to work in SVA in Vitré, where I had to call the breeders in Britain, to know how many animals they would transfer into France. The habit was that such cows had to pass 3 weeks in french pasturages to get the label made in France. (hence the mad cow coming to France through such a business)
What you see in supermarkets aren't the french beef, it's too expensive for them, usely it's reserved to the restaurants. In our supermarkets, you have the brit, the pole pieces of meet.
Also, even though, if the animals are slaughtered in Britain, usely the British keep "les bas-morceaux" and export the quaters to make beefteaks, roast beef !
As you may also know too, the French are the biggest beef eaters in Europe, the french production isn't sufficient.
You'd better shut up, you know nothing of the meat trades in Europe !
'What you see in supermarkets aren't the french beef, it's too expensive for them, usely it's reserved to the restaurants. In our supermarkets, you have the brit, the pole pieces of meet.' [Hildegarde the unconvincing Wagnerian]
How odd that they should have been labelled, with French tricolores and called 'produce of France'...
I've just paid the princely sum of £6.17 for 1.370 kg shoulder of pork. One kilo costs £4.50, let's say 5 euros. But then it's produced in the UK and will probably inflict all manner of harm on me. The point is - and you as a housewife must be aware of this - you, the consumer, are being screwed (taken advantage of) left, right and centre, poor daughter of Marianne that you are. A lifetime of over-expensive butcher's could have added up to a tidy little pension pot. Such a pity. Few are as taken advantage of as the self-righteous Gallic housewife.
"you, the consumer, are being screwed"
yes, by the costs of production with the euro.
Had we still had the franc, our products would be more affordable.
Though "Charolais" and "Limousine" are still what we would pay for a good meal
I only eat bio meat. When I eat regular meat once in awhile it taste bloody awful.
And not "blood", more like "chemicals" and "rot".
Thank you maximus, you rather make my case for me. In my experience, fans of the 'buyo' product have a lots of disposable income but less common sense. I note that the EU is about to slap a heft fine on France because of the disgusting water French livestock drinks. (See today's 'Le Monde')
nothing for whiping a cat !
a experience in Languedoc:
"oxes during the last 5 months of their life, ingest in his usual food, 1 liter wine and pomace each day
The meat from these cattle can be found on the best tables and is considered one of the best in the world.
Don't question the price, but the cost of production is high. In the end, it will probably be at least 100 to 150 euros per kilo"
The French are not really interested in free trade, they'll mess up the deal.
And by the time the agreement comes into force, the British will be out of the EU anyway.
See? Two can play that game.
Seriously, aren't you tired of spewing out the same old tired clichés about France? Hardly an article about the EU and/or France comes through without you dumping your bile on it. Give it a rest. This 2013, not 1813.
Congress for sure will have problems with France's massive subsidies for its farmers.
Congress for sure will have problems with France's massive subsidies for its farmers.
So now a free trade deal with the USA has became another way to spite the Brits?
cutters, the French don't want to eat hormon meat, nor OGM vegetable, nor pasteurised cheezes, nor that the Americans put the label Château on their chemical wines...
We know that for a Brit, food has no importance, but you will not find supporters in France, Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal your such products
like if you didn't know that American farming is subsidied in the first place, and that since longer than in Europe.
oh bTW the French farmers aren't the greedest for PAC subsidies, considering that they make 27% of the agricultural production, the Brits for 6% of agriculture production get fast half of what the French get, and the Germans for 15%, get 2/3 of what the French get
(page 7)
Is this why one of MacDonald's biggest markets is France?
And Britain if it leaves the EU can negotiate a free trade pact with the USA with greater integration such as free movement of people in addition to goods & services.
Congress will not be so keen on having free movement with the EU given all tensions within "borderless" Europe where free movement of peoples has caused problems with deportations of Roma causing headlines worldwide.
No. You fall in the same category of French- and EU-bashers as Cutters. Very few facts, lots of rambling generalisations. Are France and the EU perfect? No. Far from it. Agreed. 100 times over. Can we move on now or will we be stuck in Napoleonic wars for the next 5 centuries?
A quick read of the article (and of educated French media outlets, should you be really interested in the topic) would have told you that the French government is keen on a FTA. I was merely pointing out that pavlovian jingoism and sand-pit sneers are no way to constructively engage with the issue. Simply because everybody can lower themselves to such immature antics without ever drawing meaningful content out of the "conversation", if such a thing is ever possible with people who are simply hurling put-downs at entire communities.
Now, can we focus on the fact that momentum is gathering for impactful trade discussions between the world's two largest economies? Without graceless heckles along the way? Can we?
the difference between Cutters and her, is, that he knows of what he is talking about
the French don't want to eat hormon meat, nor OGM vegetable, nor pasteurised cheezes
Then what's wrong with opening up France to these products. It's not like free trade means you have to buy them, simply that French people are allowed to buy them. Unless you're wrong, it's moot.
what's wrong to refuse being invaded by products we don't want?
Apparently the French eat more McDonalds per person than any other country in Europe. I don't believe their customers will be too fussy.
As if the US congress was not known for its strong protectionist stand, ask the chinese !
no, 8O millions tourists visit France each year, who lazily prefer to rely on MacDo for the biggest part, because they aren't in use of french coocking, and or can't afford to go in a restaurant
No one in the US asked that one company control the whole agricultural market. but it does.
People are just to ignorant to know what is going on, and companies will force their coprrupt practices onto people with any method.
A race to the worst in capitalism.
Not everyone likes horse meat, frogs and snails. Faced with that, MacDonalds looks quite edible to anyone from a 'civilised' nation.
what's wrong to refuse being invaded by products we don't want?
Who doesn't want it though. If that statement is true, then they won't be sold. So by "we" you mean "some" or "I". Individuals should decide what they want to buy. I respect your right to buy what ever you want, whether foreign or domestic, why not treat others with the same respect.
Not every one likes rancid oily fish and chips, or haggis
but our Healthcare cares of
I think that fish and chips was surpassed by curry or kebabs some time ago. Unlike the continent, the UK has moved on since the middle ages.
An awful truth has dawned on me. When I go to McDonalds, I don't get the hormones and genetic modifications. Dang it! I thought I was getting a genuine American experience.
If that is really true why do the French have their own slang word for McDonald's (McDo)? Did the tourists invent the word?
no it's some kind of diminutive nic that we gave to MCDonald
Do you honestly believe that curry and kebabs brought England to a better gastronomic standing over continental Europe? Honestly?
You must be mad.
"what's wrong to refuse being invaded by products we don't want?"
What part of "free trade" don't you understand?
As others have said, if you (collectively) don't want it, then you (collectively) won't buy it. That's how free trade works. But "refuse (presumably by government rules) to be invaded" is exactly the anti-free-trade mindset that needs to be overthrown.
You, personally, don't want it. We get that. You, collectively, may not want it, either, and therefore won't buy it. Fine. But refusing to allow it into the whole country, because "Hildegarde the favorite" has spoken from on high... you can't do that and still pretend to have free trade.
Actually, most of the time he doesn't... especially when it comes to the EU (especially regarding subjects about France and Eastern Europe)
Get it done, Obama.
this trade agreement sounds very very ambitious--people can be very insular about free trade--
normally civilized people hear the words "foreign made" and become violent--ie the French people about McDonalds and Disney.
and Americans about anything not made locally. ***But, Wunalla,*** the idea that Senator Kerry is a Francophile is refreshingly unusual--and this indicates a well read person has been chosen for this job.
normally civilized people
I believe it's spelled nominally. The great thing about trade is that it allows people to work together, to provide for themselves, even if they don't particularly like each other. French.
you don't like us, but you'ren't going to force us to adopt your manipulated food

We just love it when Ashley stops by for a visit! We let her chill at the pool when she wants... we catch her at the back door when she comes in to take a shower... coerce her into taking off her bikini... you know, all the normal shit... Our motto is \\'clean her up \'fore she gets you off\\'!!! I don\'t know if you\'ve noticed... but... we\'ve got a lot of dirty little girls wandering around in these parts! We\'ve set up some Boobie traps outside to keep the pussy infestation under control!! We rarely let any of them get loose without bustin\' out the camera!! But, THIS little teenie-bop... We could absolutely NEVER let her get away from here without a good old-fashioned Ashley Jensen cocksucking!! This sexxxy starlet began her career here with us and now she OWES us! So, we\'ve been probing her holes ever since! How many more times will Ashley find herself drifting back to us for some more OnlyTeenBlowjobs meat...? We\'ll just have to wait and see!!!

Divide Between Massage Therapists and Energy Bodyworkers: Why?
In the last few months, I have been following some massage social media threads regarding massage and energy work. Some of those threads have heated discussions between Swedish massage therapists and practitioners who use energy work, solely or as a mix with massage.
Recreational Cannabis Use and TCM
Many people are drawn to cannabis for its effects physically, mentally and emotionally. Medically, cannabis has some legitimate uses, however the scope of this article is limited to the recreational use of cannabis.
Using Essential Oils on Clients with Cancer: What You Need to Know
The potential for the massage therapist to encounter a client in a stage of treatment for some form of cancer has grown in the last few decades. If you use essential oils in your massage practice, there are some things to consider.
The Dietary Supplement Research Dilemma
I do not care what the truth is, one way or another; I just want to know it. And when it comes to dietary supplements, the truth can be hard to find for a number of reasons.
If You Bet the Ranch, You Might Just Lose It
Did you know that the effectiveness of massage on muscle tissue is about to be decided? Oh yes, and by real research. Woo-Woo! No wait, woo-woo wouldn't be real research, or would it? It certainly is in the case of the pseudo-science of meteorology.
Just the Facts: Opinion vs. Data in the Therapeutic Relationship
In today's society, people experiencing pain or discomfort can look to countless different sources for help and advice.
TCM Congress in Rothenburg is Largest in Western World
In the medieval town of Rothenburg, deep set within the Bavarian countryside in Southern Germany, the TCM Kongress Rothenburg each year draws around 1.200 participants from more than 40 different countries to attend the biggest TCM conference in the Western world.
Massage Reduces Non-Specific Shoulder Pain and Improves Function
While seemingly universal, pain and stiffness in the shoulders can be a significant cause of disability. Often a pain that does not go away on its own, shoulder complaints tend to linger, sometimes for 12 months or longer. A recently published research analysis examined the question of whether massage and exercise are effective in treating shoulder pain and stiffness. This month's research review by the Massage Therapy Foundation explores the findings of a meta-analysis of 20 individual trials examining the effects of massage and exercise in people with non-specific shoulder pain.
Converting More Patients to Your Practice
In 2013 and 2014, the theme was "the money is in the list." This meant that if you had a big email list, you were really making some "cha-ching." Unfortunately, having thousands of emails doesn't equate to thousands of dollars in profit.
A Well-Kept Secret: 5 Element Acupuncture, Part II
Supervising acupuncture interns at a TCM college, it has always struck me how funny it is to hear the clinic manager tell the patients that the Five Element clinic specializes in treating emotions, as if patients with physical pain have no emotions!

Treating Beyond Pain
More often than not, when a patient presents to the office, it is for a pain complaint. Headache, neck pain, low back pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel... The pain is often the focus of the patient's mindset, and they don't often have any thought of what comes after the pain.
Low-Cost Workshops That Lead You to High-End Clients
There's a key to growing a practice we discovered years ago: One of the most effective ways to enroll high-end clients is to give them a taste of who you are through low-cost workshops.

Many practitioners believe the major difference in providing massage and touch therapy to children is to simply consider that the client is smaller in size, pressure should be lighter and to ask their parents.

University of Michigan Museum of Art
525 S State Street
Ann Arbor Michigan 48109
United States(734) 764-0395
Editor's Review
An ambitious renovation and expansion transformed this already impressive university art museum into one of the best.
One of the oldest university art museums in the nation, the University of Michigan Museum of Art recently underwent a three-year expansion and renovation and reopened as one of the most impressive. The original 1910 Beaux-Arts building contains European and American art, including on of the nation's most complete Louis Comfort Tiffany collections, while the new Frankel wing houses Asian, African and contemporary collections While the artwork is outstanding, the building's architecture almost steals the show. The older wing has traditional beauty, with a lovely colonnaded center court and natural light spilling in through skylights. The beautifully designed Frankel wing is slightly labyrinthine, with each space opening onto another. Wherever you go within the new building, glass walls and dividers invite you to see what's coming next. Enjoy a sack lunch in the common area with massive windows overlooking the campus. Complimentary Wi-Fi makes this a popular spot for those seeking a quiet, creative space to work. The museum also has a very nice gift store that sells, among other things, art objects carved of wood harvested from trees removed to make way for the addition.

And he's right ^^,
Phoronix: Fedora 15 Beta Released
Fedora 15 is set to be released at the end of May, and with a month having passed since Fedora 15 Alpha, it's now time for Fedora 15 Beta. Dennis Gilmore has announced the release of Fedora 15 Beta. "I beta one American dollar that you will love this release!"..
And he's right ^^,
Tried the alpha. Gnome 3 looks very nice and runs well enough on the measly Eee PC 1000h I tried it on. That activities business seems to be very well implemented. I bet that on touch screens it's great to use. The whole system just crashed eventually and was left unresponsive, and there are still the typical gnome problems of dialogs too big to fit on small screens and no vertical scrollbar. This was the alpha, so I expect the beta to be more stable.
I tried the beta rc2. Very nice, only thing I don't like is the fonts in fedora are still HORRIBLE. It hurts my eyes to use it. Ubuntu has beautifully rendered fonts that I like even better than windows cleartype. my other qualm is gnome 3 doesn't work with fglrx so I am stuck with the open source driver which makes my laptop hot enough to melt through 3 feet of soild steel.
Yeah, I also thought something funny was going on with the font rendering, but I thought it was just some artifact of the alpha version.
That should come in handy when you end up trapped inside a bank vault.
The fglrx issues should be fixed by the time the final version comes out hopefuly. I really liked gnome3, so I'll probably switch to it when it reaches a more stable/mature state. Maybe by version 3.2.

A good first aid kit is essential to a pack trip, but knowing how to use it, and how to deal with medical emergencies is even more important. Make sure that someone in your group has some experience with this as getting hurt in the back country can easily turn into a major problem.The spall or personal first aid kit may include is really for every day issues including splinters, blisters, aches & pains, burns, etc.When on North Manitou Island, the ranger gave a good talk explaining how things you do every day at home could become life threatening on the island. He gave a story about a pickup game of baseball done using sticks and rocks. You can imagine the rest. When something like that happens miles from the road, out of cell coverage, 911 is not an option. Play it safe when on the trail. Bill's ChoiceI run the REI's "Hikers first aid kit", and have included a number of extra medications (lots of Ibuprofen), Band-Aid Blister Block Cushions, second skin, various ointments, etc.

Win One of Four Week-Long Trips for Two
16 Apr 2015Newfoundland & Labrador Tourism has launched its 'What's in a Name' contest, where you can win a week-long trip for two to Newfoundland & Labrador.
If you have plans to visit Newfoundland and Labrador this summer, there are a couple of things you should know.
Fogo Island Inn today announced it has been selected as a founding member of the National Geographic Unique Lodges of the World. The Inn was chosen to be among a collection of 24 unique hotels in extraordinary places around the world with a demonstrated commitment to sustainability, authenticity and excellence. The collection represents the National Geographic Society's newest undertaking in world-class travel experiences.
Air Canada St. John's, Newfoundland & Labrador to London Heathrow Flights to Become Year-Round
2 Jun 2014Non-stop St. John's to London Heathrow, U. K. flights will operate year-round beginning October 26, 2014.
The icebergs are here, and so are the deals
12 May 2014The icebergs are here, and the spring and early summer of 2014 promise to deliver a bumper crop to the coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Shipwreck group offers tours and training
14 Apr 2014There are thousands of shipwrecks around the coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador. By one estimate, there are at least 8,000. As the first place in North America reached by Europeans during the age of exploration, the rugged coast here has had centuries to ring up its toll of ships and lives lost.
'Steer by the inn," says Captain Ane Emberley, at my shoulder as I take a brief turn at the wheel of his tour boat, the Ketanja. I line up the prow with the Fogo Island Inn. It's easy to navigate by; its intersecting white rectangles rear from a jut of granite on the treeless shore.
Aviation Preservation
28 Feb 2013In the 1950s, Canada's Department of Transport commissioned a modernist makeover for a tiny international air hub in Newfoundland, a design that has proven as timeless as it was trendsetting.
Zita Cobb transformed a dwindling community off the coast of Newfoundland into a creative hub where artists and architects come together to take inspiration from the beautiful landscape.
Fogo Island - A Paradise of Newfoundland Sights
26 Nov 2012On my recent trip to Newfoundland this September, I was exposed to some of the most remote parts of Canada's most easterly province. To say they were awe-inspiring might be the biggest understatement of the century.
Stairway to heaven
10 Oct 2012Outpost Magazine takes a hike along the Alexander Murray Hiking Trail in King's Point.
In the eternal struggle to find a place to get away from it all, one small Canadian fishing village is providing travelers with the perfect blend of natural beauty, artistic inspiration and service few far-flung places offer these days.
Outpost Expedition!
10 Aug 2012Big mountains, fjords, polar bears and Outpost Magazine = Summer 2012 Adventure Overload in Torngat Mountains National Park.
"What kinds of pie do you have tonight?" the man sitting by the window asked. He and I were both eating dinner in a café in the outport of Cow Head, N.L.
If I had a dollar for every time someone asked how I wound up traveling through Central Newfoundland, I'd have a tidy little sum piled up in just a few days.
Introducing Canyon Adventures
22 Jun 2012On Friday, July 6, 2012 Riverfront Chalets & Rafting Newfoundland will be partnering with Gyula Takacs of Hungaroraft and combining over 40 years of whitewater experience to bring adventure to a whole new extreme in Grand Falls-Windsor!
Raft in Newfoundland on the Exploits River
12 Jun 2012The Newfoundland and Labrador tourism agency has reloaded the special offers page on its website. Among the offers is a two-night stay for two at the Hillside Bed & Breakfast in Twillingate, a small island in Central Newfoundland on the edge of what is known as Iceberg Alley, for $299. The package, called A Path Through Time, includes accommodations in the three-bedroom, restored 140-year-old home...
Don't forget to call ahead!
7 Jun 2012If you're planning to visit us this summer, remember to call now (if you haven't already!) to ensure any car rental, ferry bookings and accommodation. That way, your only responsibility upon arriving will be to have the most relaxing time possible…
Cross Canada Cooks: Newfoundland and Labrador

Breaking the ice in Newfoundland
9 Apr 2012When the last of the pack ice disappears and St. John's harbour readies itself for summer traffic, one might be lucky enough to see an iceberg making its way behind the ships. The glaciers begin their parade down "iceberg alley" each April, slow moving and stately like German opera singers. It's a kind of magic, spotting one.

Writing in the Journal of Herpetology, Jodi Rowley, an amphibian biologist at the Australian Museum in Sydney, told how she and other researchers "came across a huge green frog, sitting on a log," not far from the capital, Ho Chi Minh City.
She later determined the 3.5-inch creature is a relatively large new type of flying frog, a group known for its ability to "parachute" from tree to tree thanks to special aerodynamic adaptations such as webbed feet, National Geographic News reported Monday.
The new species is "one of the most flying frogs of the flying frogs," she said, "in that it's got huge hands and feet that are webbed all the way to the toe pad."
"At first it may seem strange that such a fantastic and obvious frog could escape discovery until now -- less than 100 kilometers [60 miles] from an urban center with over nine million people."
Yet because they spend most of their time high up in the forest canopy they can easily escape notice.
Rowley has named the new species Helen's flying frog to honor her mother "who has steadfastly supported her only child trekking through the forests of Southeast Asia in search of frogs."

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Writing a report plugin is very similar to writing any other Mojo Plugin (see e.g. "Better Builds with Maven", Chapter 5 for an introduction into that). The most significant difference is that you do extend the AbstractMavenReport
class rather than the AbstractMojo
You need to implement your Mojo as AbstractMavenReport, then you can simply add it to the <plugin> section within the <reporting><plugins> section of your POM and your report will be generated and linked into the Maven site automagically:
and so on. @phase site
binds your plugin to the site lifecycle of the build.
You need to implement or override the following methods:
public void executeReport(Locale defaultLocale) throws MavenReportException
- This method is called during site phase to actually produce your report.- Other methods:
For the use of getBundle() you need to provide a resource bundle in
that contains the necessary keys for your plugin, e.g.Note If you want to create the report without using Doxia, e.g. via XSL transformation from some XML file, then simply add the following method to your Mojo:Keep in mind that in that case Maven will not be able to include the navigation into your report so you have to leave it out or include it yourself.
Doxia Sink
You also need to use the Doxia Sink API to have complete decoration (ie. menus). That is quite straightforward. You simply import org.apache.maven.doxia.sink.Sink
and get an instance by simply calling the class method getSink()
(you don't even have to implement it). Then you can do things like that:
to get some text
Note: To find out more about the possible markup (that is the available methods) you need to read the sources at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/doxia/trunk/doxia-sink-api/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/doxia/sink/Sink.javasince there is no documentation on http://maven.apache.org/doxia/doxia-sink-api/index.html at the moment.
More than one report from one plugin
If you want to have more than one goal in our plugin to generate several reports, simply add another Mojo with its own @goal something
tag. From the POM, you can control which goal is executed within the <reportSet>
section as follows:
Maven Changes Plugin
One of the best possibilities to understand how reporting works at this level ist to have a look into the sources of the Maven Changes Plugin at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/plugins/trunk/maven-changes-plugin/(or the current TAG inhttps://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/plugins/tag, if you prefer that). The sources aren't hard to read and it takes little time to understand the mechanism.

Gruesome, bizarre, and excruciatingly meticulous in technique, Salvador Dalí's paintings rank among the most compelling portrayals of the unconscious mind. In this work, the artist turned his attention to the impending Spanish Civil War, which began in July 1936 and would turn his native country into a bloody battleground. Dalí described this convulsively arresting picture as "a vast human body breaking out into monstrous excrescences of arms and legs tearing at one another in a delirium of autostrangulation." The desecration of the human body was a great preoccupation of the Surrealists in general, and of Dalí in particular. Here, the figure's ecstatic grimace, taut neck muscles, and petrifying fingers and toes create a vision of disgusting fascination.

SUBJECT: Wildcats Open 2012 Volleyball Season with Pair of Sweeps over Host Millersville and East Stroudsburg
Set scores for the matches were 25-23, 25-18 and 25-23 against Millersville and 25-22, 25-22 and 25-13 over East Stroudsburg.
The Wildcats were led by a plethora of individuals in their first match of the season as senior Nicole Wiechecki, and freshmen Kaitlin DiGiacinto and Alex Siolos tied for the match high with nine kills apiece. Junior middles Katie Shorter and Brittany Biddle were also in on the action as they recorded seven and six kills, respectively.
Trailing 20-19 late in the first set, the Wildcats used a 4-0 run to gain control of the game. Shorter knotted the game at 20 with a kill from Siolas. Sophomore setter Kasey Couch followed with a service ace and served as the defense stepped up with solo blocks by Wiechecki and Shorter for the 23-20 lead.
Another late set run turned a close second set into a victory for the Wildcats after the game was knotted at 15-15. DiGiacinto started the rally with a kill followed by two Millersville errors. Siolos put down an attack from Wiechecki while Biddle made it 21-15 with a solo block. Wiechecki and Brooke Foskey finished off the 8-0 run with kills. Wiechecki finished the set with a kill to lead 2-0.
The third set was more back and forth throughout the entire game, but it was a late three point swing that gave Wilmington the match. Tied at 20-20, Siolos and Shorter teamed up for a block and DiGiacinto and Siolos went back-to-back with kills to push the lead to 23-20. The Wildcats went on to score two of the next five points, with Biddle and DiGiacinto capping the match off with a block.
Sophomore Kasey Couch effectively ran the offense, dishing out a match high 23 assists while Siolos added 16 helpers in the three-set match over Millersville.
Defensively, three Wildcats pitched in with double digit digs as Wiechecki led the way with 14, followed by DiGiacinto, 13, and freshman Shelby Henderson, 10.
The Wildcats return to action tomorrow morning with another pair of matches to round out the Marauder Clash. They open Saturday with a match against Quincy at 9 a.m. and will face Concord at 11 a.m.
Wilmington def. Millersville, 3-0 (25-23, 25-18, 25-23)
Wilmington (kills-assists-digs-blocks): Shorter (7-0-2-2.5), Couch (1-23-3-0), Wiechecki (9-1-14-1), Biddle (6-2-1-2), DiGiacinto (9-1-13-1), Siolos (9-16-8-1), Henderson (0-1-10-0), Shuba (0-0-0-0), Foskey (4-0-0-0.5), Scarfo (0-0-5-0)

Saint Xavier University Brings Home the Silver Medal
Web site wins national award
CHICAGO (Feb. 24, 2005) – Admissions Marketing Report, the Atlanta-based national student recruitment publication, has awarded Saint Xavier University with a silver medal in its 20th Annual Admissions Advertising Awards. Each year, numerous institutions of higher education enter the contest, competing in various categories from newspaper advertising to newsletters. Saint Xavier's Web site design by LiquidMatrix Corporation joins the company of fellow winners, Cornell University's Engineering program and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. "We are delighted to have an award-winning Web site," said Dr. Steve Murphy, vice president for enrollment and student services at Saint Xavier. "This award recognizes the extraordinary teamwork of dozens of people on the project team, especially project director Maggie Eaheart." Thousands of entries were submitted, and of those, more than 100 were for Web sites, according to Jan Lok, publisher of HMR Publications, which publishes Admissions Marketing Report. "The Web sites are judged on content, design, usability, consumer appeal, creativity and overall rating of the judges," Lok said. A panel of more than 40 judges, consisting of the publication's editorial staff, marketing consultants as well as professionals from advertising agencies and schools, reviewed the entries. "The Web site is now the 'front door' of the University for prospective students, and a vibrant and attractive source of information for current students, faculty, staff and alumni," Murphy said. "We know that a quality Web site requires constant attention, so we will never be 'finished' with it. But this kind of recognition lets us know that we are heading in the right direction, and we will continue to do so." ###

Modeling a Ferrofluid in a Rotating Magnetic Field
B. A. FinlaysonDepartment of Chemical Engineering, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA
COMSOL Multiphysics is used to solve the problem of a ferrofluid placed in a rotating magnetic field, known as the spin-up problem. The spin-up phenomenon occurs when the fluid is contained in a cylinder and a homogeneous magnetic field rotates uniformly in the circular cross-section.
This work shows how to implement the pertinent equations in COMSOL Multiphysics and shows that the simulations agree with the experimental observations made over the past 40 years.
Simulations are also used to show that the proper boundary condition is zero spin on solid walls, because that is the only one that gives results in agreement with experiments.

Two suggestions on decreasing insurance prices
You finally received that bonus from work, and with it, your dream of a new car. Before you impulsively plunk down cash for the first car causing your heart to palpitate, you should carefully consider the additional cost of car insurance. The kind of car you buy can significantly affect your ability to obtain cheap auto insurance.
When choosing a car, there are several factors to consider that insurance companies may deem your new wheels worthy of lower rates. Typically, the cheaper car parts are for a car, and the cheaper the repair costs, then the cheaper the insurance rates. Also, the more popular a model, the more available the replacement parts are, keeping costs down.
New technology advances in some cars are also having a positive impact on the availability of cheap auto insurance. Cars that are equipped with standard safety devices such as Autonomous Emergency Braking and self-parking capabilities are now eligible for insurance discounts with some companies. And surprisingly, the gas-guzzling larger vehicles such as SUVs and pick-up trucks actually cost less to insure than the smaller gas efficient models. This is because these large vehicles are super tough and have the ability to withstand less damage in an accident, meaning insurance companies pay less to repair them.
Minivans will also keep your rates lower. Because they are not considered "flashy" or "sporty," they are ranked low-risk, thus less likely to be involved in an accident. Also, the minivan is not expected to top the list of most-stolen cars. Fast sports cars and other smaller high performance vehicles on the other hand, will be much more expensive to insure. Not only are they more likely to be in an accident, but their parts are more valuable to car thieves.
If you're looking to save money, then consider purchasing a car considered safe, with a low accident risk, and unlikely to be stolen. Though it may not be that first car you loved, you'll be saving lots of money on car insurance, which may just make your heart palpitate after all.
