Member countries of the United Nations, including Nigeria, have committed $513 billion in funding to achieve a sustainable future.
The commitment was made in conjunction with the private sector, civil society and other groups at the recent United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), which took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Also at the global forum, President Goodluck Jonathan had promised to actualise his sustainable development agenda for Nigeria. He had also disclosed that under the country's medium to long-term sustainable development plans, several sectoral initiatives have been developed.
These include initiatives in agriculture, petroleum, solid minerals, power supply, renewable energy, trade and investment, water and sanitation, which accord priority to environmental and wider development issues, the president had added.
Speaking at the forum, Rio+20's Secretary-General, Sha Zukang said, "From the very beginning we have said that Rio+20 is about implementation and concrete action. The commitments that we share with you demonstrate that governments, the UN systems, and the nine major groups are committed and serious about implementation."
A wide range of actions were also pledged during Rio+20. These include planting 100 million trees, empowering 5,000 women entrepreneurs in green economy businesses in Africa, and recycling 800,000 tons of polyvinyl chloride (commonly known as PVC) - one of the most widely used plastics - per year.
Some 40,000 people - including Heads of State and government, representatives from non-governmental organisations and the private sector - were in Rio de Janeiro for three days to attend Rio+20, where they sought to help shape new policies to promote global prosperity, reduce poverty and advance social equity and environmental protection.
A key element on the Conference has been its outcome document, entitled 'The Future We Want' and agreed on by Member States.
The outcome document called for a wide range of actions, such as beginning the process to establish sustainable development goals; detailing how the green economy can be used as a tool to achieve sustainable development; strengthening the UN Environment Programme (UNEP).
Other proposed actions include promoting corporate sustainability reporting measures; taking steps to go beyond gross domestic product to assess the well-being of a country; developing a strategy for sustainable development financing; and, adopting a framework for tackling sustainable consumption and production.
The document also focuses on improving gender equity; recognising the importance of voluntary commitments on sustainable development; and stressing the need to engage civil society and incorporate science into policy; among other points.
Over 50 million people from all over the world took part in Rio+20 through social media platforms, voicing their comments, opinions and ideas, making the platforms a key component in establishing a global conversation on sustainability issues both in the lead-up to and during the conference.

"To make it in this business, you either have to be first, great or different," says living legend Loretta Lynn. "And I was the first to ever go into Nashville, singin' it like the women lived it."
In addition to being "first," she was also "great" and "different." Loretta's instantly recognizable delivery is one of the greatest country-music voices in history. As for "different," no songwriter has a more distinctive body of work. In lyrics such as "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin'" and "Your Squaw Is on the War Path," she refused to be any man's doormat. She challenged female rivals in "You Ain't Woman Enough" and "Fist City." She showed tremendous blue-collar pride in "Coal Miner's Daughter" and "You're Lookin' at Country." She is unafraid of controversy, whether the topic is sex ("Wings Upon Your Horns"), divorce ("Rated X"), alcohol ("Wouldn't It Be Great"), war ("Dear Uncle Sam"), or "The Pill," her celebration of sexual liberation, which were among some of her songs to be banned by many radio stations. Like the lady herself, Loretta Lynn's songs shoot from the hip.
Treat yourself to a show at the Keswick!

Kano — Last Saturday's blasphemous publication in the ThisDay newspaper has continued to generate reactions from the public in Kano, especially from the community of Ulamas. Since news of the publication spread in Kano on Monday, series of meetings and consultations have been held among the various Islamic groups to articulate a common front.
As news of the events in Kaduna filtered into Kano on Wednesday, the blasphemous publication became the topic of discussion at mosques and social gatherings in Kano even as selective reactions began to emerge.
The Kano Vendors Association refused to circulate the newspaper in Kano yesterday to protest the publication on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Distributors also followed by announcing a boycott of the ThisDay newspapers in Kano.
Weekly Trust gathered that the front-page apology published yesterday by the newspaper to appease the Muslim community could not be circulated in Kano for fear of generating additional tension. "If we bring that out, many people who do not know about the issue will know and tension may flare up," said a vendor at Murtala Mohammed roundabout in Kano.
The police in Kano swiftly moved into action Wednesday by deploying armed policemen at Galadima Road venue of newspapers distributors and the office of ThisDay newspaper. The team, comprising about 12 officers, was later reduced to two policemen who kept vigil at the office, which is yet to be in use by the newspaper.
The Supreme Council for Muslim Unity at a press conference yesterday in Kano described the publication as a new form of terrorism against Nigerian Muslims "where a pen terrorist has been hired to create fear, tension, riot and public disturbance in the country, perhaps to disrupt the forthcoming elections."
The conference attended by Ulamas and traditional rulers in Kano, saw the publication as the work of a hired mercenary engaged by political losers to cause civil unrest by provoking religious conflicts. The Ulamas however noted that the intention of the architects of the blasphemous act will not prevail as Muslims in Kano will not take to the streets nor take the law into their hands on the current scandalous act against their revered Prophet.
Spokesman for the council, Professor Isa Hashim therefore urged Muslims in Kano State and other parts of Nigeria to boycott ThisDay newspaper by refusing to either buy the paper or advertise in it. The council also blamed the federal government for the entire episode, arguing that if the government had not sanctioned the beauty pageant and allowed it to hold in Nigeria, such blasphemous act would not have taken place.
Also commenting on the publication in his widely-televised tafsir, the Waziri of Kano, Alhaji Isa Waziri, said followers of other faiths are always taking the peaceful disposition of Muslims for granted. He stated that the government's tolerance and approval for the beauty contest have been interpreted as a licence to slander non-supportive groups in the Nigerian set-up.
Sheikh Isa Waziri warned that if such blasphemous act against the Prophet of Allah were allowed to continue, Muslims would have no alternative than to act by reciprocating in the same manner. He however called for calm and urged the government to bring the erring people to book.
Former special duties minister, Alhaji Wada Nas said ThisDay newspaper should have learnt a lesson from his first declaration that the Muslims in Nigeria would soon boycott the paper for its anti-Islamic posture. Wada Nas recalled that "there was a time I even called for people, more especially Muslims, to boycott ThisDay because of its attitude towards Islam as a religion," adding that the paper has ridiculed Islam on several occasions especially over Sharia controversy.
"It is very blasphemous to say such a thing against our Prophet of Islam. It is very insulting, very insulting. This paper does not have any regards for Islamic religion," the former minister said, stressing that the only thing that could perhaps help ThisDay out of its present predicament is to apologise profusely and discipline the erring writer for taking the Muslim faith for granted.
Meanwhile, all attention is now focused on the outcome of today's Friday sermon by major Islamic scholars in Kano. Already, anti-ThisDay messages are being flashed through the GSM message network. Part of the messages sent by various unpublished numbers reads "boycott ThisDay. Don't buy, and don't advertise if you love Allah and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)."

early 15c., "consisting of four parts," from Latin quaternarius "of four each, containing four," from quaterni "four each, by fours," from quater "four times," related to quattuor "four" (see four). Also as a noun, "the number four" (mid-15c.), from Latin quaternarius.
In geological sense, attested from 1843 in English, proposed 1829 by French geologist Jules Pierre François Stanislas Desnoyers (1800-1887) as name for "the fourth great epoch of geological time," but because it comprises only the age of man, and the other epochs are many hundred times longer, not all accepted it.

Consisting of four; in fours.
Relating to an atom bonded to four carbon atoms.
Noun Quaternary. The second and last period of the Cenozoic Era, from about 2 million years ago to the present.

Filner's proposals for surprise surplus
Money would house homeless, buy public safety equipment, remove cars from Plaza de Panama
Occupying a good part of his monthly meeting with members of the media was his battle with the city's hotel owners over the fate of millions of dollars in marketing funds generated through a hotelier-run assessment district. The money, which is generated via a 2 percent hotel room surcharge, cannot be released until Filner signs an operating agreement for the district.
When negotiations between Filner and hotel representatives reached an impasse earlier this month, the tourism marketing board filed suit against Filner and the city in hopes of persuading a judge to compel Filner to sign the agreement.
While he would like to avoid litigation and come to an agreement, Filner said that the lawsuit has made that difficult.
"They're not used to negotiating, they're used to getting their way, spending the money the way they want to," Filner said.
Calling the tourism marketing district a "sweetheart deal" for the city's largest hotel owners, Filner had said the city deserves more than just the estimated $30 million a year in revenues generated by the hotel surcharge and had asked that hotel owners agree to provide their workers with higher wages and better benefits. He also believes the 39-1/2-year term of the district is too long.
Because the marketing funds have been frozen, the city's Tourism Authority said it had to cancel a $5.3 million advertising campaign to promote San Diego for the summer season.
Filner told reporters he questioned whether the tourism agency would have had sufficient funds from money generated in January and February to pay for the campaign even if he had signed the agreement.
"They say we postponed a $5 million buy. Where's the $5 million? Filner asked. "They don't have the money to do it anyway."
Joe Terzi, CEO of the Tourism Authority, explained that the total sum would not have been needed by February. He said the ads would have been running in February, March, April and May, and the bills for advertising would be paid in installments as they aired. Only $1 million to $1.5 million would have been needed by now, he said.
The television ads were supposed to air in Seattle, San Francisco, Sacramento, Salt Lake City and Denver. Terzi has said that a second ad campaign valued at $3.1 million that was to be done jointly with SeaWorld is also in jeopardy.

Philip Roberts
- Date of Birth: 4 Dec 1989
- Weight Class: 65Kg
About Philip
Appearing in London 2012 is rightly in every athlete's thoughts, and wrestler Phil Roberts is no different. Quite simply, appearing in an Olympic Games in his home country would be a dream come true for the 21 year old, who comes from near Bolton.
But before that, the Commonwealth Games is looming large, and competing in Delhi later this year will - for Phil, and other British wrestlers likely to take part - be just as important.
"Representing your country, and taking part in any international sports event like that is a fantastic experience, and obviously it is a big part of my plans for this year," said Phil.
"The aim is not only to be in Delhi, but to win a medal, and I honestly think the chances of that are quite good - for me, and for other British wrestlers, whether they'll be representing England or any of the other home nations.
"Last year I was in the top three in two international competitions, and finished 15th at the World Junior Championships. So I'm pleased with the progress I've been making, I've been medalling in all competitions, so if I can maintain that, then there's no reason why I can't medal too at the Commonwealths. But there's a lot of hard work ahead, and I am always looking to get better.
And he believes that being a part of the Salford-based Wrestling Academy will help him achieve his ambitions. "There's a great spirit among the squad, we're always looking to help each other get better, and though it's a really busy schedule, you get out of it what you put into it."
Phil, who turns 21 this year, has been wrestling since he was seven years old, and was introduced to the sport by his Granddad, who coached at a local club. "He took me along with him, and it went from there, and I've loved every minute of it."
So how would he sell wrestling to the uninitiated?
"Well, it's fun, it's a great way of keeping very fit, it's a raw sport, in that no equipment's needed, it's just you against your opponent, and it's unpredictable - no one contest is the same, and there lots of twists and turns to a wrestling match.
"So to anyone who sees it on the TV, or reads about it, and thinks about giving it a go, I'd say 'go for it', and enjoy it."
And according to Phil, newcomers to wrestling are joining the sport at a good time. He said: "British Wrestling is looking in really good shape, and getting stronger all the time. We've some really good young wrestlers, and we're all really fired up to be part of the London Olympics in 2012, and that is a big incentive for us.
"Hopefully that will give us the opportunity to showcase our sport, and I think a lot of people will be pleasantly surprised when they see what great fun wrestling is!"

IOWA COLLEGE PREZ Resigns Over Boozy Photo
By Jackie Burrell
Friday, August 29th, 2008 at 5:40 pm in Just Bizarre.
We hardly know where to start. An Iowa community college president resigned Wednesday, after the Des Moines Register published a MySpace-worthy photo of him holding the spigot of a mini-beer keg over the open mouth of a young woman at a Fourth of July boat party. Trustees at Iowa Central Community College initially said it was a non-issue that a college president was playing keg captain at a boozy boat party with a group of young adults… in a culture where binge drinking is a major health and safety concern on every university campus. It was a private party, they said.
The Register's op-ed writers disagreed: "Academic leaders represent their institutions, on the job and off, and they aren't supposed to look as if they're party animals who encourage underage drinking."
Now trustees are handing Paxton $400,000 in severance pay. And there's more…
Early the morning after this little aquatic soiree, Paxton's 19-year-old son was arrested for drunk driving. For the second time. Paxton says his son was aboard the boat, but he wasn't drinking. Hmmm, and what was Paxton celebrating that day? Could it be that three days before, the board had awarded him a fat raise, despite his 2002 indictment for felonious misconduct and grade tampering? Charges that were deferred, by the way, because Paxton accepted responsibility for the transcript alterations. Three colleagues, the Register tells us, entered guilty pleas … and kept their jobs because Iowa Central Community College trustees seem to be a forgiving lot.

Atomic Spaces by Peter Bacon Hales, University of Illinois Press, $34.95, ISBN 0252022963
MORE than 50 years after its heyday, the scale of the Manhattan Project still has the power to astonish. Some 120 000 worked in vast and complex industrial plants and instant cities (at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, a house every 30 minutes) to produce, of course, a weapon that would change the world with a new definition of terror.
The sizable literature that followed has largely seen the Manhattan Project as a high drama of technical achievement, from idea to mushroom cloud. Peter Bacon Hales, a professor of art history and director of the American Studies Institute at the University of Illinois, sees something else: "a new form of American cultural landscape". He contends that the makeshift wartime communities formed by the project were precursors to postwar America, influencing everything from city planning to labour relations to "broader ...

THERE were 506 applications to this month's Sauti za Busara festival on the Zanzibar Isles. Each one of these had to attach a compact disc (CD) to their request, for it to be accepted.
Those requests that were not concerned with African music were immediately cancelled because the event is strictly constructed as a platform to display musical sounds, instruments and styles connected to the continent. This issue was looked at late last week when the 'Daily News' met with the project's co-ordinator, Journey Ramadhan, of Busara Promotions.
They had come to Dar es Salaam for the pre launch ceremony of the event that actually starts next Thursday. It was in conversation with him after the launch it was learnt that out of the 506 applications, 22 were successful. That is 12 from outside of the country, six from the Tanzanian mainland and four from the Isles. "Depending on the artist, if it's very difficult for a particular act to find a travel sponsor and we think it is worth it, we pay it.
We pay for all artistes' accommodation and they get a fee but other expenses are left to them and all stage back-ups are locally supplied," Ramadhani explained. This procedure has been used since the first episode of the Sauti za Busara festival, ten years ago, towards achieving their goals. While the team was in Dar es Salaam the 'Daily News' took hold of the opportunity to find out a little more about this from Busara Promotions founding Chairman, Simai Said. He spoke about the Sauti za Busara festival being basically a platform for artistes to display their music.
This, they see as a time to promote the whole East Africa music sector together with building the arts infrastructure. Music, he says has to be displayed at the same time that it is being promoted, for there to be beneficial growth. "In the old days you would hear a lot of Hip-hop in Zanzibar and other types of music but now there is more appreciation for local music. There are groups in Zanzibar that are disappearing.
They were performing but not being identified. Taarab has been highly appreciated. If you look at it now, even the young generation are beginning more and more to use traditional instruments like the ganoun and oud," he explains. Continuing with the festival is not a question, he says because it has become an internationally known brand name that has become synonymous with Zanzibar and Tanzania.
What they had not fully noticed ten years ago was how the financial aspect the festival would have developed. Today, the cultural tourism part, he says has become a much bigger concern than they had envisaged then. Now he says, there are a lot more visitors coming to the Isles during this month than previously. The figures, he added have gone up by more than 700 per cent from all corners of the world.
Now, the festival has become an important aspect contributing towards the local economy. There are such expenses visitors incur like visa passes and after they have finished their holiday on the isles, enjoying the music, they would often come to the Mainland to visit places like the national parks. This is why organisers of the event still maintain they can only allow those musicians, who have reached an acceptable level of expertise to climb their platform.
He says that even local people want to see musicians playing instruments in front of them live. Another point Said mentioned in this respect is that even the promoters, who come to the event looking for acts, want those who can perform good original music live. "It's a difficult thing for us to say I'm sorry but we cannot take you on stage.
In a way, if we do so we're actually discouraging local artistes and ruining the talent they have, instead of taking them to different and higher levels. So we want to help the local musicians but what we are saying is that you have to try harder and find a way to create your own unique style to come up," Said, who is Busara Promotions' current Vice- Chairman and Acting Chairman, stressed. There are a number of Tanzanians, who he added have done just this, like Lady JD, Banana Zorro and Juma Nature.

Mr. Bush owned a share of the Texas Rangers for about a decade beginning in 1989 and has said that he was unaware of any steroid use among Rangers during his ownership.
Rafael Palmeiro, one of baseball's leading home run-hitters, played for the Rangers during Mr. Bush's tenure. In a 2005 meeting with reporters from several Texas newspapers, Mr. Bush called Palmeiro "a friend" and said he believed his assertions that he had never used steroids. Later in 2005, Palmeiro testified positive for stanozolol, a powerful anabolic steroid.

Tiger quarter a well-oiled machine in winning 4x400 3-A state crown
May 26, 2013 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports Editor
Everything worked to perfection for the Lander Valley High School Tigers boys 4x400-meter relay team Saturday, May 18, at the Class 3-A state track meet in Casper .
The foursome of Levi Donaldson, Marvin Aragon, Jaxon Hedges and Tristan Herr put together a textbook race at Harry Geldien Stadium to win the relay championship.
In the third leg of the relay race, Hedges broke it open before passing the baton to Herr.
Herr didn't let up, maintaining the lead to the finish line.
"It was definitely the biggest accomplishment that we all have experienced," Herr said.
After the race, Herr said the relay members hugged everybody involved.
"It was a really humbling experience," Herr said. "At regionals, we kind of realized we had a chance of getting a real high place. We were just kind of hopeful. It turned out that we had a really good race."
The official time for the Tigers in Casper was 3:29. 22. Lander's seeded time was 3:32.22.
"We were just running the race smooth," Herr said. "We weren't super excited. We weren't overdoing things. It was just more being in control. It was more of the attitude before the race."
The win was the only relay championship for Fremont County athletes this year at the state track meet.
"They really came a long way," said LVHS assistant track coach Ben Gose, who coaches the Tiger sprinters. "We mixed up the team a little bit in the last three weeks."
In that span, the Tigers dropped their time in the relay by 12 seconds--about three seconds per leg.
Buffalo's relay team finished second at Casper in 3:31.21. Powell placed third (3:32.37), and Star Valley ended fourth (3:33.04).
"We knew that Powell and Buffalo were going to be the top contenders at that point," Herr said. "I just told the guys to keep up with Powell at any cost. Everyone just really pulled it together for the race."
The state meet was the first time LVHS battled against Buffalo .
The Tigers are in the Class 3-A West, and Buffalo is in the East conference.
"Going against Buffalo was a new thing for me," Herr said. "We really pulled it off."
Relay members
Gose said it took some convincing to have Hedges join the relay team.
Herr and Aragon are both juniors. Hedges and Donaldson are sophomores.
"Once we got Jaxon involved, that was kind of the key leg at state," Gose said. "He ran really smart. He ran behind the leader for the first 250 meters, then he passed him coming off the corner and gave us a nice lead."
Herr took it home in the final stretch drive.
"Tristan just has been solid all year," Gose said. "He dropped three seconds during the year. He got down to almost 51 flat in the open 400."
Donaldson started the relay. Aragon had the second leg.
"They didn't have anything else going on at state," Gose said. "They stayed really focused all three days we were there. They kept the other guys excited. Marvin probably likes the relay more than anybody else."
This was the first season Donaldson participated in the 400 meters.
"It was pretty remarkable to get down where he was running," Gose said.
Ready to defend
All four of the relay members plan on being back next year for the Tigers to defend their title.
"They would like to take a shot at the school record," Gose said.
Gose says the relay squad has a chance to get down in the 3:24 range, which would set a school record, and a state record for Class 3-A if it happens at the state meet.
Herr can't wait for spring season next year.
"Jaxon and Levi finally realized the potential that we have in the race," Herr said.
"We are going for a school record."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., October 6, 2005 — Fifteen of the nation's most seasoned business executives have been selected Founding Members of a new MIT Sloan School of Management organization that will enable them to bring their expertise directly into the classroom while serving as an informal "sounding board" on curriculum and other issues for MIT Sloan administrators and faculty members.
Designed to be flexible yet responsive, The Alfred P. Sloan Management Society, named after the General Motors legend who 50 years ago formed the MIT management school that bears his name, operates with no staff, budget or formal agenda. But some of its members are already making their presence known on campus, guest lecturing in classes and discussing educational and other issues with school officials.
"The whole idea is born of a pretty simple precept," said Society member Michael Armstrong, who has chaired the boards of Comcast Corp., AT&T Corp. and Hughes Electronics Corp. and is currently a visiting professor at MIT Sloan. "We are a small group of experienced and interested people who want to become engaged for the benefit of MIT Sloan. While we may set up a more formal set of objectives, the Society will retain its informality and responsiveness so that we can function effectively as a good sounding board for the Dean and faculty."
Society members will further build upon MIT's strong collaboration "across three pillars of excellence within MIT — science, technology, and management," said MIT President Susan Hockfield. "We look forward to seeking insight and counsel from a select group of practicing leaders who agree with the need for change and embrace the importance of technology-based innovation for future success."
The impetus for the Society came from MIT Sloan Lecturer Howard Anderson, who as founder of the Yankee Group developed relationships with many of the group's members. "The Society consists of leading movers and shakers in American industry who are committed to working with faculty, administrators and students, who as a result will be able to be in regular contact with some of the nation's best business minds," Anderson said. "Society members are making a commitment to help train the next generation of business leaders."
One member, Citizens Financial Group CEO Lawrence Fish, is already set to teach a banking case study this semester. He noted that while the Society will most directly benefit the MIT Sloan community, it also offers something to its members. "The Society provides us with a network of like-minded people who are accomplished in business and who, for the most part, are local," said Fish, who serves as an MIT trustee. "As people with an interest in the community, we will now be better able to enjoy and learn from each other's company."
While no formal launch is planned for this informal program, MIT Sloan Dean Richard Schmalensee is hosting the group for dinner. Schmalensee noted that Alfred P. Sloan "recognized that innovation-driven companies are unique and present special management challenges. He also knew that industry had much to teach academia, a point that recent critiques of business education have made abundantly clear. So it is especially fitting that this Society has been formed in Mr. Sloan's honor."
Here is the full list of founding members of the Sloan Management Society:

(IR) IR Interlude Turn 4 - 5 (thread 2)
Into Veluna City itself he comes.
He walks right through the gates, thrusting aside the astonished gate-guards, ignoring all commands to halt.
A brief round of bullets is fired at him; the soldier firing finds his gun jams as the elderly man gestures annoyedly.
Through the ancient streets and past the old stone buildings he walks, this elderly man with his druid's staff.
He marches up to the doors of the Church of Rao, and demands entry.
Upon not being given immediate entry, he speaks a word, and the heavy doors yield to him, and open.
Thrusting aside the door-wardens, he marches in.
He looks around, this elderly man, and his face is filled with anger.
He does not see what he is looking for.
He roars in his ancient voice, still strong for one his age:
Where is Archcleric Hazen?!
I want to speak with him, now.
I am the Wanderer.

Most Heartwarming Video of the Day: Marine Dad Surprises Sons at College Football Game
Two North Carolina boys thought they lucked out by being chosen to take part in a half time contest at an East Carolina University football game. Little did they know they were in for an even bigger surprise when their Marine father arrived home for the first time in five months!
Gunnery Sergeant Josh Ricafrente, and eight and ten-year-old sons Elijah and Noah, joined Fox and Friends this morning to talk about the special moment.
Ricafrente is so happy to be able to spend the holidays with his family, saying, "I'm very thankful to be home for Thanksgiving. I was glad to make it here for that. That was a big goal of mine to hopefully be back in time for the holidays."
Little Elijah recounted to Alisyn Camerota that his schoolmates are jealous of his newfound fame. "They were saying that 'you're lucky that you're going to be on TV!' And, they were like, 'Come on, I really want to be on TV!'"

According to Lassalle, wages cannot fall below subsistence level because without subsistence, laborers will be unable to work for long. However, competition among laborers for employment will drive wages down to this minimal level. This followed from Malthus' demographic theory, according to which the growth rate of population was an increasing function of wages, reaching a zero for a unique positive value of the real wages rate, called the subsistence wage. Assuming the demand for labor to be a given monotonically decreasing function of the real wages rate, the theory then predicted that, in the long-run equilibrium of the system, labor supply (i.e. population) will be equated to the numbers demanded at the subsistence wage. The justification for this was that when wages are higher, the supply of labor will increase relative to demand, creating an excess supply and thus depressing market real wages; when wages are lower, labor supply will fall, increasing market real wages. This would create a dynamic convergence towards a subsistence-wage equilibrium with constant population.
As David Ricardo first noticed, this prediction would not come true as long as a new investment or some other factor caused the demand for labor to increase at least as fast as population: in that case the equality between labor demanded and supplied could in fact be kept with real wages higher than the subsistence level, and hence an increasing population. In most of his analysis, however, Ricardo kept Malthus' theory as a simplifying assumption.
During the mid-1800s, when Lassalle articulated his theory, wages for both manufacturing laborers and agricultural workers were in large part quite close to subsistence level.
Furthermore, not only did Ricardo believe that the market price of labor could long exceed the subsistence or natural wage, he also claimed that the natural wage was not what was needed to physically sustain the laborer, but depended on "habits and customs":
Socialist critics of Lasalle and of the alleged Iron Law of Wages, such as Karl Marx, argued that although there was a tendency for wages to fall to subsistence levels, there were also tendencies which worked in opposing directions. Marx criticized the Malthusian basis for the Iron Law of Wages. According to Malthus, humanity is largely destined to live in poverty because an increase in productive capacity results in an increase in population. Marx also criticized Lasalle for misunderstanding David Ricardo.
Ludwig von Mises argues that if one adopts this reasoning in order to demonstrate that in the long run no rise in the average wage rate above the minimum is possible, one must also imply that no fall in the average rate can occur.

I know Mike - and George - beat me to the punch but...seriously...Barrack Obama wins Nobel Prize?
For what? The guy hasnt done a damned thing in nine months except divide the country and embarrass himself in Copenhagen.
Moreover, he was in office only two weeks before the nominations deadline.
Seriously, WTF?
I think I'll go crawl back into bed and hopefully wake up in a reality based planet.
I wonder if there's just one Obama supporter who can defend this farce with a straight face.
Update: I think I'll name him "Alfred":
Update: Lefty bloggers are awash in their exuberance, not because Obama "won" the Nobel, perse, but because it irritates the right.
Of course, there are some lefties that have completely jumped the shark (via TigerHawk):
President Obama has changed how the world feels about America. He's lifted the planet's mood. This guy is global Prozac.
Global Prozac!
The award comes on the heels of a week where:
- Nobel Peace Prize winning Obama cut off funding for Iranian Human Rights Commission.
- Nobel Peace Prize winning Obama refused to meet with the Dalai Lama.
- Nobel Peace Prize winning Obama increased troops to Afghanistan.
- Nobel Peace Prize winning Obama got the royal diss from the IOC.
- Nobel Peace Prize winning Obama was had by the Iranian government.
But hey, you know, global Prozac and all that.
Me? Im not irritated. On the contrary, I'm ecstatic! Finally, proof that unicorns do, in fact, exist.
Update: I swear, the more the left harps on how the right will go nuts, the more fun I have with this.

Addis Ababa — An Ethiopian court on Wednesday found 24 citizens, including a journalist and some members of political oppositions, guilty under the country's controversial 2009 terrorism law.
Among convicted were prominent journalist and blogger Eskinder Nega, as well as Andualem Arage and Nathnael Mekonnen - both members of an opposition group, Unity for Democracy and Justice (UDJ).
The defendants were accused of having ties with a banned exiled opposition movement, Ginbot 7. They were also charged of conspiring to carry out terrorist attacks, incite an "Arab Spring style" violence in collaboration with banned rebels. An accusation they deny.
Nega and seven other defendants were in court today while the rest including five journalists who are in exile were convicted in absentia.
The court will pass sentences on July 13 and prosecutors are requesting jail terms ranging from five years up to life behind bars.
International press and human right organizations have immediately condemned today's court ruling.
Press rights group, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) in a statement accused the Ethiopian government of abusing the country's anti-terror laws to clampdown on critical and independent reporting.
"The charges against Eskinder are baseless and politically-motivated in reprisal for his writings" said CPJ Africa Advocacy Coordinator Mohamed Keita adding that "His conviction reiterates that Ethiopia will not hesitate to punish a probing press by imprisoning journalists or pushing them into exile."
Human Rights Watch similarly condemned the convictions urging the Ethiopian government to immediately drop all politically motivated charges against the defendants.
The group stressed a need to amend what it said was "the law's most pernicious provisions" which are seen as the root cause to crush free of speech and peaceful dissent.
Eskinder who was honoured in May with PEN America's "Freedom to Write" award was arrested in September last year on alleged links to terrorist groups and conspiracy to dismantle constitutional orders by publishing a number of online articles that invite people to revolt.
The Advocacy group, Amnesty international today said "the evidence against Eskinder centers on his discussions on whether the Arab spring demonstrations could spread to Ethiopia".
The US-based Ginbot 7, Oromo Liberation Front (OLF), and Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) are blacklisted as terrorist entities by Addis Ababa.

St. Thomas
Restaurants in St. Thomas
A huge benefit to restaurants in St. Thomas is the diversity in the food choices. You will have no trouble finding plenty of local food that is both specific to the Virgin Islands and dishes that are more broadly popular across the Caribbean. For instance, fungi, a staple dish of boiled cornmeal, or callaloo, a spicy soup from around the region, will be widely available throughout St. Thomas restaurants. Some of the best restaurants in St. Thomas, however, will serve dishes aimed at tourists' taste buds or plates you'll recognize from home that have a local twist in the spices.
If you're looking for a taste of local cuisine and are staying in a private home rental or bungalow with a kitchen, you may want to skip the St. Thomas restaurants and head to the marketplace instead. You can pick up fresh-caught fish and sample the bounty of local fruit.
This open waterfront space keeps its stylish diners happy with pan-seared rainbow trout in a lemon caper-brown-butter sauce, and lobster, shrimp, mussels, and clams in a tomato-fennel broth. Choose from three-, five-, or nine-plate tapas-style tasting menus.
Garden-fresh and constantly changing, the 10 small plates on the menu can be ordered individually or in trios. For more sustenance, there are larger entrées, like cornmeal-crusted snapper in a brown sugar, rum, and plantain reduction.
The French- and Caribbean-influenced food here is among the island's best, as is the view from atop Government Hill. At lunch, try the chicken and mushroom crêpes; the braised rabbit loin is a must for dinner.
With its billowing white curtains and sexy blue lighting, this restaurant is more South Beach than St. Thomas.
A roadside shack minutes from the beach. The namesake milk shake is a blend of almond-crunch ice cream and amaretto.
The island's most delicious brunch spot is in a stone courtyard off Charlotte Amalie's main drag. It can't be beat for its hash browns and omelettes, served on checkered tablecloths. Purchase some of owner Gladys Isles's from scratch hot sauce to take home.

KeyBank Match-up: Timbers' Ability to Control Pace vs. Goats' Ability to Keep Things Tight
Timbers play-by-play man John Strong alluded to it in his notes on Wednesday afternoon's match between the Portland Timbers and Chivas USA (1:00pm PT, ROOT SPORTS, 750 AM The Game / La Pantera 940).
The match has all the makings of the classic immovable object coming up against the irresistible force.
The Goats have scored only 11 goals in 2012—a veritable two of those were scored in their come-from-behind game against the Timbers in April—but their lockdown defense and well nigh impenetrable goalkeeper Dan Kennedy have kept them in games all season.
On the other side come a Timbers side that were flying out of the gates against the Galaxy on Sunday. Yes, the issues with the defense in the match are well documented. But the attacking flare and chances created were invigorating.
That clash of two volatile elements brings us to Timbers soccer analyst Robbie Earle's KeyBank Match-up.
Robbie Earle's
KeyBank Match-up
|Ability to control the pace
Ability to keep things tight
The fact that Chivas USA are last in goals scored in MLS is well known. As is the All Star caliber season that Kennedy is putting up which gives them a fighting chance in every match they're in. But the Goats also made a canny move in picking up center back Danny Califf from Philadelphia to sharpen the backline. His veteran presence helps settle a defense that is the second most miserly in MLS having only allowed 18 goals on the campaign so far.
It comes as little surprise that head coach Robin Fraser—a stalwart defender in his playing days—would showcase a parsimonious defense. The Goats will look to pack it in and keep things tight. They'll use their speed to break on the counter and try to sneak a goal at an opportune moment then try to set up their solid wall around Kennedy.
On the other end, the Timbers come in with some true signs of creative energy. Last Saturday's match was a tremendous back-and-forth affair with the Galaxy. While LA won the game 5-3, the quality chances created by Portland were numerous with Kris Boyd scoring his first brace in a Portland uniform.
Wednesday's match will also see the return of Diego Chara to the Timbers midfield. How he teams in the middle of the pitch be it with Jack Jewbury, Darlington Nagbe, Franck Songo'o, Eric Alexander and/or Kalif Alhassan will be vitally important to seeing Portland look to control the pace the team will want to play.
Assuming they are able to create the same kind of chances they did against LA, then the Timbers may be able to score the all important first goal—no small feat for them on the road given they've only had two away from JELD-WEN Field all season.
Chivas USA will do what they do and grind hard with Kennedy directing traffic. Their win over Real Salt Lake in late March was an excellent example of how they were able to blunt the possession-heavy Claret-and-Cobalt. They did it again in early July in a 0-0 draw against Vancouver.
However, provided Portland keeps the pace quick, lively and skillful, they may be able get some much needed road points and vault back into the playoff hunt.

THURSDAY - October 21, 2010
RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA AND PRISTINA, KOSOVO - United States Attorney George E.B. Holding and senior members of his criminal division are in Kosovo this week as part of the Eastern District's ongoing training and development program for judges, prosecutors, police officers and victim services advocates. Since October 18, 2010, Mr. Holding and others from his office have been participating in training and events raising public awareness of the needs and rights of victims of crime. The training and events follow two weeks of intensive training conducted in Raleigh and in Washington, D.C. during April of this year. Emphasis has been placed on the role of police officers, prosecutors and the Court and their joint obligation to ensure that victims of crime are not neglected by the criminal justice system and that appropriate resources are made available to victims of crime to assist them in rebuilding their lives after having been victimized. Moreover, participants are continuing to work closely with prosecutors and law enforcement officers in its development of criminal investigations and prosecutions.
Kosovo, a part of the former Yugoslavia and a territory long claimed by Serbia, formally declared its independence on February 17, 2008. That declaration was the culmination of efforts begun when the United States and NATO allies intervened in Kosovo's violent conflict with Serbian troops in 1999. Since that time, with the aid of the United States, various European countries, and the United Nations, the people of Kosovo have been working to develop a legal system with integrity and reliability which focuses on the rule of law. The United States Department of Justice, through its Office of Oversees Prosecutorial Development and Training (OCPDT), has been playing a key role in the training of personnel in the Kosovian legal system. Indeed, since 2008, the Department has been represented in Kosovo by Assistant United States Attorney Kim Moore of the Eastern District of North Carolina. The planned training is being conducted at the request of and under the leadership of OCPDT.
Members of this office, along with federal investigators, will continue to conduct training in Kosovo periodically in the coming months in an effort to continue the development of task forces which address drug trafficking, human trafficking and public corruption and will continue its assessment of victim needs and services and work with government officials to address those issues. Moreover, the partnership between the Government of Kosovo and the United States Attorney's Office will focus on the continued introduction of plea bargaining and other methods for efficiently resolving a large volume of criminal cases which are backlogged in Kosovo.
The Department of Justice's effort will continue to be led by Robert J. Higdon, Jr., Chief of the Criminal Division of the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina and J. Frank Bradsher, Deputy Criminal Chief for Narcotics, United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina. Both have participated in the training undertaken by this office throughout the last two years in Kosovo.
During this week, Messrs. Holding, Higdon and Bradsher have been in meetings with the Deputy Chief of the United States Mission in Kosovo, the Minister of Justice of Kosovo, the Chief State Prosecutor of Kosovo and members of Kosovo's Supreme Court. They have also continued one-on-one training and work with a large number of police officers and prosecutors throughout the criminal justice system. In addition, Mr. Holding delivered remarks at the first annual National Crime Victims' Rights Ceremony, an event modeled on similar ceremonies annually held in Raleigh and in Washington and which many Kosovo officials attended last April. Mr. Holding's remarks are attached hereto for reference.
Messrs. Holding, Higdon and Bradsher are accompanied by Special Agent Thomas Beers of the Internal Revenue Service who has played a key role in the ongoing work with Kosovo law enforcement and by Eastern District Victim Witness Coordinator Michelle Scott, who has led the team assessing Kosovo's victim services system.
The team is also accompanied by former Cary Police Officer George Almond who has addressed ceremonies in Gjilane and Gjakova, Kosovo. On October 10, 2001, Officer Almond, while approaching a car he had stopped along Highway 1 in Cary, was shot in the face at close range by an individual with a 9 mm semi-automatic firearm. Officer Almond's story is well known to the public in this area and is briefly summarized in Mr. Holding's remarks. Mr. Almond spoke to Kosovo officials when they visited the United States. After hearing his remarks they asked that he be made a part of these first annual events so that other Kosovars could hear his story and draw support and inspiration from it.
Mr. Holding commented, "The Department of Justice and the Government of Kosovo have, over the last two years, presented this office with a unique opportunity and important responsibilities in the training of law enforcement authorities in Kosovo. The establishment of proper law enforcement procedures and techniques and the building of strong relationships between law enforcement in North Carolina and Kosovo will be a great benefit to both the United States and to Kosovo. The United States continues to work with the government of Kosovo to establish a strong and vibrant democracy in that country. The proper enforcement of criminal laws is essential to ensuring that Kosovo is governed by the rule of law. Morever, for the United States, we benefit from a stable ally, who is a cooperative partner in the war against organized international crime. It is an honor to be a part of this effort."

Watch $750K turn into $41 million: Washington attacks college textbook costs.
Regular readers know that I have a tendency to push, prod and agitate on this blog for ways that state government can be more responsive to real people living real lives. I admit to a certain disposition to question old assumptions and stale policies.
Today I'm deeply honored and excited to share a story that is stunning in it's simplicity and yet I believe has set the stage for bold, systematic change. (OK, I'm part of the central cast but I hope you'll take the time to look deeper and let me brag just a little bit.)
Today I'd like to tell you how a ONE TIME state investment of $750,000 in precious tax dollars has the very real likelihood of turning into a $41 million savings ANNUALLY for college students in Washington. Are you awake now?
Every state talks about it. We're doing something real, meaningful and measurable that is part of a worldwide movement away from expensive, proprietary textbooks toward open courseware.
First, with access to the opportunity of college becoming more difficult for students and families, it's time for a courageously open conversation about the cost of higher education in Washington and nationally. Our state policies toward tuition consume most of the attention from the media, legislators, governors, parents and, of course, students. It is a lightening rod of internal debates between friends. No one is in favor of 'high tuition,' or 'low financial aid,' but everyone recognizes that we need to find a way to BOTH provide state support for students and enable institutions to have more flexibility to meet local needs while maintaining the state's rock solid commitment to student access and affordability.
Unfortunately, tuition is only one piece of the puzzle and yet it sucks the oxygen out of the room of so many other issues that impact the 'total cost of attendance' for students. The best example? Every family, whether rich, poor or squarely in the middle, has the exact same sense of moral outrage staring at textbook bill that now averages more than $1,000 a year for a regular full time student.
I have long held a fascination with the ruthless cost of textbooks at our colleges and universities. One of the projects I am most proud of from my first term in the Legislature is a $750,000 appropriation that I worked very, very hard to successfully include in the 2009-2011 budget. The appropriation created an open textbook and course material program for our state's community and technical college students.
Here is a recent memo from Dr. Cable Green, the indefatigable and passionate Director of eLearning and Open Education at the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges. Through building a coalition of partners in the public and private sectors, and giving faculty the respect to lead on the vital ingredient of curriculum, Cable has created a model that can work for college students nationwide.
(Beginning of report)
Project Goals
The "Open Course Library" is about designing and sharing 81 high enrollment, gatekeeper courses for face-to-face, hybrid and/or online delivery, to improve course completion rates, lower textbook costs for students (<$30), provide new resources for faculty to use in their courses, and for our college system to fully engage the global open educational resources discussion. This last point is straight from a guiding principle in our Strategic Technology Plan to "cultivate the culture and practice of using and contributing to open educational resources."
What is the problem?
The high cost of textbooks has reduced Washington citizens' access to higher education.
1. According to the Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance, 200,000 qualified students fail to enroll in college each year due to cost. The high cost of textbooks is a significant financial barrier for many students.
2. Full-time students spend approximately $1,000 on textbooks every year.
• Consider just one high enrollment course in Washington Community and Technical Colleges
o English Composition I = 46,000+ enrollments / year x $100 textbook = $4.6M / year
• 2005 GAO report: College textbook prices have risen at twice the rate of annual inflation over the last two decades.
3. Students ran a national campaign called "Make Textbooks Affordable" to both raise awareness and to ask faculty to "state their intent to include open textbooks in their search for the most appropriate course materials."
• The Washington Community and Technical College "Student Legislative Academy" have kept "Textbook Affordability" on the top of their legislative platform for the last three years.
Partnership: Washington State & Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
State support of $750,000 for the Open Course Library allowed SBCTC to secure a three-year $750,000 grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The Open Course Library will design 81 high enrollment courses and have them ready for use by fall 2011 (44 courses in phase 1) and fall 2012 (37+ courses in phase 2).
The Open Course Library has the goal of significantly lowering textbook costs for Washington students:
• 81 courses = 411,133 enrollments / year
• 411,133 enrollments x $100 textbook = $41M+ in textbook costs / student debt per year
• Limit on textbook costs in redesigned courses is $30. If courses are adopted by 25% of the sections in the system (faculty decision), the savings to students will be $7.2M per year.
• Savings increase with increased adoptions and/or when courses use free, open textbooks.
Additional Benefits
The Open Course Library project and vision has already affected SBCTC policy and is attracting new foundation and federal grant opportunities to Washington State Community and Technical Colleges.
1. New SBCTC "Open Licensing" Policy
o "All digital software, educational resources and knowledge produced through competitive grants, offered through and/or managed by the SBCTC, will carry a Creative Commons Attribution License."
o This policy will allow system colleges to realize the educational impact from the substantial investments the state, the federal government, and foundations have made (and will continue to make) in digital software, educational resources and knowledge.
o http://www.sbctc.edu/general/admin/Tab_9_Open_Licensing_Policy.pdf
2. The United States Departments of Education and Labor are working to provide $2 Billion (over 4 years) for "open educational resources for displaced workers. SBCTC has been highlighted as a national leader in community and technical college "open education" and "workforce education" and will be working on securing grants for Washington.
3. Rice University's Connexions and SBCTC are submitting a US Department of Education FIPSE grant to break the Open Course Library courses into smaller "modules" and tag (metadata) them all … so they can be more easily searched and recombined into new educational collections. $750,000 over three years.
4. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation recently launched a "Next Gen Learning Challenges" grant. SBCTC was invited to help provide insight into the grant and will be closely reviewing the Open Core Courseware grants when they are released.
5. The Open Course Library has sparked an international project called "Top 50 Courses." SBCTC is partnering with CA, TX, OH, FL, AZ, CT, British Columbia and New Zealand to list the highest enrolled, common courses across the United States and around the world.
o We are building a matrix that shows, for example, the hundreds of thousands of enrollments in "Psychology 101," and links to all of the "Psychology 101" open textbooks and open courseware.
o Where there are gaps in the open courseware / textbook matrix (e.g., we collectively can't find a high quality "Sociology 101" textbook), we will collectively submit a grant for private and/or public funding to create and maintain the needed content and openly license it so anyone can use and modify it freely.
(End of Report)
My deepest congratulations and thanks to Cable and the entire community and technical college team of faculty, students, foundations and administrators who are working so hard to make this a huge success. I continue to be particularly impressed with the advocacy of faculty who see it not as a threat to their teaching freedom, but as a way to unleash shared knowledge in a complex world. They are helping our state education more people to higher levels, and that's what it's all about.
Your partner in service,

She is a cause singer and has partnered up with HH4 Heroes (Harvesting Happiness For Heroes) and wrote the song that she performed on the show called In Between. The powerful song strikes a cord with everyone that hears it including the judging panel for the 2012 Malibu Music Awards, who honored Bekah as their Best Upcoming Female Artist.
A gradute of ODU, Bekah is currently working on her new EP that is due next year and is also involved in helping kids with a passion in music in developing their music and songwriting skills. Bekah is someone that you need to keep on your radar as I see big things coming her way in the not so distance future. You can check out her full, two song performance from the show below and you can connect with her on Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, Soundcloud and her brand new website that will be launching December 1.

With Personalized Urn, Mom or Dad can Stare Back
If this isn't creepy – Imagine in the movie "Meet the Parents", Gaylord was playing with the Grammes URN that actually looked like Grammes. If you saw an urn shaped like the head of the dearly departed, you gotta wonder if they didn't preserve the head and burn the rest.
Cremations Solutions is using 3D facial reconstruction to create these pots to keep the ashes of the loved ones. The skull comes off so you can get to and care for the ashes.
If you want something prettier, then Cremations Solutions will do a 3D reconstruction of your favorite celebrity (or as the website says – 'celebraty'). Maybe Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett or Michael Jackson? Then you can say your Pop was a famous TV show sidekick, I guess.
A full size urn will run you $2,600, while the keepsake will only cost $600. To compare, a casket starts at $500. The burial plot can run you as little as $50 or more. Cremation can range from $500 and up.
I guess it all depends which way you go.
