Quick Six: Januzaj's breakout, best striker tandem, and other Premier League storylines
Oct 6, 2013, 9:35 PM EDT
Out of the darkness came a new hero, an unlikely 18-year-old thrust to instant stardom amid the uncertainty that'd enveloped the start of David Moyes's tenure. Can Adnan Januzaj really be the savior he's being portrayed as after his two goals in Sunderland delivered Manchester United from potential disaster?
Here's teammate Michael Carrick after United's 2-1, come-from-behind victory:
"In some ways I think he's gone on the big stage now," he said. "We noticed a big improvement with him [in pre-season] and he just looked a proper player. At half-time we told him to get in the box a bit more because there were chances for him.
"He's got so much ability, he's got a great attitude. He can be anything he wants to be – he's that good.
"It's just a start, I'm sure he's not going to get carried away with it."
Many outlets have taken the "anything he wants to be" part and ran with it. After all, narratives have to be fueled, never mind Carrick was perfectly sanguine will delivering his player speak. Januzaj is a teammate, he's young, and he was just coming off a two-goal performance. Of course you're going to get some distortable quotes out of Carrick.
With Januzaj, there's as much sizzle as steak right now. It's impossible to miss the potential in the Belgian/Albanian/Serbian/Kosovar (he'd be eligible to represent any of those nations), but Januzaj's new star's also a function of United's current plight. He's the contract to the conflict between expectations and form.
That conflict was apparent on Saturday. For the first 45 minutes, a Sunderland team that was hard work and little else was the better side. In the second half, Manchester United woke up. In time, this will look like a good win — three points where other sides may get none — but considering what Manchester City and Arsenal showed on their trips north, United's Black Cat test illustrated just how far behind they are.

Whether they maintain this level or not, Liverpool's Luis Suárez and Daniel Sturridge are the Premier League's best striking duo at the moment. The tandem combined for two Liverpool goals in the Reds' 3-1 win over visiting Crystal Palace, and after the weekend's dust settled, Liverpool sat second, with only goal difference keeping them from the top.
Brendan Rodgers seems eager to temper any undo enthusiasm, though:
"It reminded me of a performance I had when I first became a manager, when I knew it had to be about more than just winning. At Watford we beat Swansea 2-0 at Vicarage Road. Everyone was elated and it was named the performance of the week but I was so disappointed because we didn't keep the ball well. This was like that. Our movement and combinations in the final third was good but the lack of control behind that was very disappointing."
It's harsh, but there were obvious weaknesses in the Reds' side on Saturday. Against one of the league's worst teams, Liverpool too often allowed Crystal Palace to hit their defensive line with speed, the Eagles' lack of execution (and talent) in the final third the only thing that kept this match from turning into a shootout.
That problem gets solved to a certain extent when Lucas Leiva returns. Without their suspended ball-winner, Liverpool moved Jordan Henderson in from right-wing back, pairing him at the base of midfield with Steven Gerrard. The result was unconvincing. Thankfully, they were only playing Crystal Palace.
The issue does, however, inform the debate as to whether Liverpool are title contenders. Or Champions League contenders, for that matter. With the Reds off to a 5-1-1 start, there are a lot of discussions surrounding the team, all of which come down to quality and depth. Even if you think the Reds have the quality to compete with the preseason contenders (a tough but not impossible argument to make), Saturday illustrated how thin they are. Lose one guy and things don't exactly fall apart (they did still win 3-1, after all), but holes start to surface.

Mauricio Pochettino didn't say he was going to get Southampton into Champions League this year, and to the extent he said it was a goal, he did so in relation to Europa League. Teams don't really shoot for the latter, the Saints boss explained. Champions League is everybody's ambition.
Of course, people ran with it. That's what happens. A coach of a club like Southampton even mentions Champions League? It goes at the top of the story. Southampton must be targeting Champions League! Welcome to the soccer world.
After this weekend's action, however, Pochettino's words took on a different context, with Southampton's 2-0 win over Swansea vaulting the Saints into fourth place – above Manchester City, Tottenham, and Manchester United.
Seven weeks into the season, it's too early to know whether Southampton can keep this up, even if a win at Liverpool and five clean sheets provide some reason to think this form can persist. But beyond that Liverpool win, there aren't many eye-opening results among this year's score lines. The schedule just hasn't been that hard.
Don't overlook Sunday's result, however. Three years ago, Swansea were Southampton, albeit with a different style. They were the team whose results outstretched their stature while their methods underscored their results. They were the club giving reason to believe there was staying power behind their run.
Sunday's game may have been a symbolic passing of that torch, with Swansea stumbling to 15th place. Then again, it might be us reading too much into early season results. Regardless, Pochettino continues to give us reason to talk about Southampton.

If Martin Jol didn't win, he was probably gone. We didn't have any proof, but everything about Fulham's situation told us the Dutch boss was in a win-or-else situation. His team was drastically under-performing, form that extended from that persisted from the end of last season. They were coming off a bad loss at home (to Cardiff City) and the new owner is coming to town with his NFL team this week. If Jol didn't beat Stoke at home, Shahid Khan was unlikely to see a silver lining to this cloud he inherited as coach.
Thanks to Darren Bent's 83rd minute goal, Jol's likely to get a reprieve, his team having beaten the visiting Potters 1-0. The question is whether he should. Fulham still sit 18th and are coming off a victory that was more obligatory than convincing. A one-goal win at home to visiting Stoke with the squad Jol has? That's seems like a minimum standard, not a reason to let up. If we had doubts about the Cottagers before, what about the Stoke result makes us believe Fulham are on the right track?
When you're struggling, you're thankful for every win you get, so it's understandable Fulham and their fans have loosened their grips since Saturday. But once the international break's over, the reality may set in. A one-goal home win over Stoke is obligatory. It's not progress.

How good are Everton? Now we know. Their 3-1 loss at Manchester City wasn't just their first in league since Roberto Martínez took over. It was a reminder of the limitations he's inherited.
Take the first goal Everton allowed, a great piece of work from David Silva to Yaya Touré to Álvaro Negredo. The speed, timing, and execution of the move was world-class. It took world-class talents to execute it, and it would have taken world-class talents to stop it. Manchester City had them. Everton did not. Goal, Citizens.
City's second goal was a brilliant piece finish from Sergio Agüero, who beat Tim Howard far post from a sharp ankle. Everton doesn't have the type of talent that can finish that ball, and the closest player they have is on loan from Chelsea.
Then there was the penalty that led to the third goal, with Seamus Coleman judged to have taken down Pablo Zabaleta. Coleman's a fine player, but he didn't have enough to stay in front of Zabaleta without leaning into him. You could argue that the penalty was soft, but another defender may have avoided that position to begin with.
Not many, though. Most defenders are going to get caught by that Zabaleta run, just as very few strikers will finish like Aguero and only a series of elite players can complete City's first goal.
But that's the difference between that level and Everton's. The Toffees have very good players and a seemingly excellent coach, but sometimes, talent wins out.
[MORE: Manchester City 3-1 Everton: The last of the unbeatens fall.]
The scoreline's troubling: 0-3 at home to West Ham United. That Spurs could only put four shots on Jussi Jääskeláinen should be just as worrisome. This is a team that came into the game with six goals in six games, and on Sunday, André Villas-Boas's squad didn't do enough to improve that record.
Yes, be concerned about the lopsided nature of the loss, but also grasp this basic fact: Until this team starts scoring goals, they can't be considered a serious contender for the league's top four spots. Once it happens, we can make an assessment about this crew Levy, Baldini, and Villas-Boas have assembled. Right now, we have no idea what that end product will look like. .
In the interim, Spurs have given away three points they should have had. What are the odds they'll want those back at year's end? Especially if Liverpool challenges for top four? And Southampton proves as pesky as their rhetoric?
Today's game was only one result. These things happen. Six goals in seven games? That's the bigger problem.

When the Wind Blows: Spatial Spillover Effects of Urban Air Pollution
Xiaoguang Chen, Jingjing Ye
RFF Discussion Paper EfD-DP-15-15 | July 2015
Abstract: Using a unique city-level panel on the daily air pollution index (API) and fine-scale meteorological data from 2009 to 2013 in China, we examine the existence and the magnitude of spatial spillover effects of urban air pollution in Chinese cities. Our spatial analysis results indicate that (i): there exist spatial spillover effects of air pollution in China: a city's average API is expected to increase by 0.40-0.51 if the average API in its surrounding cities increases by one unit, depending on model specifications; (ii) an increase in gasoline price can effectively improve urban air quality; (iii) high levels of precipitation and strong winds can mitigate air pollution, while the temperature effects on air quality vary by time of day; and (iv) without controlling for spatial spillovers of air pollution across regions, coefficient estimates of explanatory variables will be biased. Our findings suggest that pollution control policies must be coordinated among cities and provinces to effectively abate urban air pollution.

Multimedia Pollution Regulation and Environmental Performance: EPA's Cluster Rule
Wayne B. Gray, Ronald Shadbegian
RFF Discussion Paper 15-26 | June 2015
Abstract: In 1998 the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated its first integrated, multimedia (air and water) regulation, known as the Cluster Rule (CR), which aimed to reduce toxic releases from pulp and paper mills. By integrating the air and water regulations, EPA tried to reduce the overall regulatory burden on the affected plants. In this paper, we compare EPA's ex ante expected reductions to an ex post assessment of those reductions. Using data from 1991 to 2009 for approximately 150 pulp and paper mills for both toxic and conventional pollutants, we find significant reductions in chloroform releases, nearly identical to the ex ante prediction of 99 percent reductions. We see some reductions in air toxics, smaller than the ex ante prediction and not always significant. Reductions in VOC emissions are similar in magnitude to the ex ante predictions for OLS models but smaller for fixed-effect models. No significant impact is found on PM10 emissions. We draw conclusions for regulatory impact analyses and retrospective analyses, including the importance of carefully identifying expected compliance methods and the potential sensitivity of these analyses to the definition of the baseline.

The Net Benefits of the Acid Rain Program: What Can We Learn from the Grand Policy Experiment?
H. Ron Chan, B. Andrew Chupp,
Maureen L. Cropper
, Nicholas Z. Muller
RFF Discussion Paper 15-25 | June 2015
Abstract: This study quantifies the cost savings from the Acid Rain Program (ARP) compared with a command-and-control alternative and also examines the impact of trading under the ARP on health damages. To quantify cost savings, we compare compliance costs for non-NSPS (New Source Performance Standards) coal-fired Electricity Generating Units (EGUs) under the ARP with compliance costs under a uniform performance standard that achieves the same aggregate emissions. We do this for the year 2002, the third year of Phase II of the program. We find annual cost savings of approximately $250 million (1995$). To examine the health effects of trading, we compute the health damages associated with observed sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions from all units regulated under the ARP in 2002—approximately 10.2 million tons—and compare them with damages from a No-Trade counterfactual in which each unit emits SO2 at a rate equal to its allocation of permits for the year 2002, plus any drawdown of its allowance bank. Damages under the No-Trade scenario are $2.4 billion (2000$) higher than under the ARP. This reflects the transfer of allowances from EGUs west of the Mississippi River to units in the eastern US with higher exposed populations.

A Retrospective Study of EPA's Air Toxics Program under the Revised Section 112 Requirements of the Clean Air Act
Arthur G. Fraas
, Alexander Egorenkov
RFF Discussion Paper 15-23 | June 2015
Abstract: Under the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was required to establish standards limiting air toxics emissions from industrial plants. This paper examines the effect of five of the largest cost rules issued by EPA in the initial round of air toxics rulemaking over the 1995 to 2000 period. Our estimates suggest that plants in the printing and publishing and pulp and paper industries realized important reductions in their air toxics emissions in the period between publication of the final rule and the effective date for compliance with the rule—although the reduction in air toxics emissions by pulp and paper mills falls short of EPA's ex ante projections. However, our estimates suggest that plants in the other three industries—petroleum refining, pharmaceutical, and wood furniture—achieved little or no additional reduction in air toxics emissions over the compliance period in response to EPA's air toxics rules. Finally, the paper explores steps that EPA should take in setting up future retrospective analyses.

A Contingent Valuation Approach to Estimating Regulatory Costs: Mexico's Day Without Driving Program
Allen Blackman
, Francisco Alpízar, Fredrik Carlsson, Marisol Rivera Planter
RFF Discussion Paper 15-21 | May 2015
Abstract: Little is known about the cost of environmental regulations such as residential zoning restrictions and recycling mandates that target households instead of firms, partly because of significant methodological and data challenges. We use a survey-based approach, the contingent valuation method, to measure the costs of Mexico City's Day Without Driving program, which seeks to stem pollution and traffic congestion by prohibiting vehicles from being driven one day each week. To our knowledge, ours is the first study of an actual regulation to use this approach. We find that the Mexican program's costs are substantial: up to US $103 per vehicle per year, about 1 percent of drivers' annual income. Recent research has questioned whether programs for driving restrictions in Mexico City and several other megacities actually have environmental benefits. Our results suggest that whatever benefits these programs may have, they can be quite costly.

The Dynamics of Pollution Permits
Makoto Hasegawa,
Stephen W. Salant
RFF Discussion Paper 15-20 | May 2015
Abstract: We review the literature on bankable emission permits which has developed over the last two decades. Most articles analyze either theoretical or simulation models. The theoretical literature considers the problem of minimizing the discounted sum of social costs and the possibility of decentralizing the solution through competitive permit markets. In some cases, authors do not explicitly consider pollution damages but instead assume that the planner's goal is to minimize the discounted social cost of reducing cumulative emissions by a given amount. In other cases, authors do not explicitly consider an emissions reduction target but assume that the goal is to minimize the discounted sum of pollution damages and abatement costs. Simulations permit evaluation of alternative government policies under uncertainty. We conclude by pointing out directions for future work.

New Markets for Pollution and Energy Efficiency: Credit Trading under Automobile Greenhouse Gas and Fuel Economy Standards
Benjamin Leard,
Virginia D. McConnell
RFF Discussion Paper 15-16 | May 2015
Abstract: Recent changes to the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards have created new opportunities for lowering the cost of meeting strict new standards through provisions for credit banking and trading. In this paper, we explore these new markets for reductions in both fuel consumption (fuel economy) and greenhouse gases (GHGs). We examine the two separate credits markets for fuel economy as regulated by NHTSA and for GHG gases under EPA and find that there are some important differences between them. For example, the market for NHTSA fuel economy credits has an effective credit price ceiling while the market for EPA GHG credits does not. We then evaluate the functionality of these markets using publicly available data on credit holdings and trades through 2013. Finally, we assess the potential for the following to interfere with well-functioning markets: overlapping regulations, lack of additionality, thin markets, and use of monopoly power. We find that features of robust trading markets are missing in these early years, and suggest reasons why. We also explore the implications of the fact that the two regulations are almost fully overlapping.

A Proximate Mirror: Greenhouse Gas Rules and Strategic Behavior under the US Clean Air Act

RFF Discussion Paper 15-02 | March 2015
Abstract: The development of climate policy in the United States mirrors international developments, with efforts to initiate a coordinated approach giving way to jurisdictions separately taking actions. The centerpiece of US policy is regulation in the electricity sector that identifies a carbon emissions rate standard (intensity standard) for each state but leaves to states the design of policies, including potentially the use of technology policies, emissions rate averaging, or cap and trade. Differences in policies among states within the same power market could promote predatory behavior resulting in a geographic shift in generation and investment in new resources. This paper examines the coordination problem using a detailed partial equilibrium model of operations and investment. We demonstrate that leading jurisdictions have available a rich set of design options that can protect them against strategic predation and, in fact, give them opportunities to proactively advance climate goals, to the economic detriment of laggards.

EPA's New Source Review Program: Evidence on Processing Time, 2002–2014
Arthur G. Fraas
, Mike Neuner, Peter Vail
RFF Discussion Paper 15-04 | February 2015
Abstract: As the United States moves forward with future energy policy, it must address and resolve issues associated with a shift away from coal and toward natural gas. While natural gas offers a significant opportunity as an abundant and relatively clean fuel source, optimum development and use of this resource requires an efficient and effective permitting process. A long and difficult permit approval process unnecessarily hinders progress toward energy and environmental goals by delaying or even cancelling both additions to new capacity as well as the upgrading of existing capacity. This study provides information on the time required to obtain permits through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) New Source Review (NSR) program for refineries and for coal-fired and natural gas–fired electric generating plants. The study finds that processing times for NSR permits for the 2002 to 2014 period varied significantly across EPA regions. They were also significantly longer for coal-fired and combined cycle electric generating units as compared to that for combustion turbines. Finally, processing times were significantly longer over this period for electric generating units and refinery projects as compared to reported permitting times for projects from 1997 to 2001.

How Should the World Bank Estimate Air Pollution Damages?
Maureen L. Cropper
, Shefali Khanna
RFF Discussion Paper 14-30 | September 2014
Abstract: We evaluate the approach currently used by the World Bank to measure exposure to outdoor air pollution and associated economic costs, as reported in the World Development Indicators database. We recommend that current exposure estimates, based on an econometric model, be replaced by estimates used in computing the Global Burden of Disease (GBD). The GBD combines satellite data with chemical transport models to provide global estimates of fine particle exposure. We recommend that the World Bank also use estimates of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost due to outdoor air pollution produced by the GBD. DALYs should continue to be monetized using the value of a statistical life year, which is currently transferred from a US value of a statistical life (VSL) using an income elasticity of one. Going forward, it would be desirable to allow the income elasticity of the VSL to vary with income and to revisit the choice of baseline VSL.

Heterogeneity in the Value of Life
Joseph E. Aldy
, Seamus J. Smyth
RFF Discussion Paper 14-13 | May 2014
Abstract: We develop a numerical life-cycle model with choice over consumption and leisure, stochastic mortality and labor income processes, and calibrated to U.S. data – to characterize willingness to pay (WTP) for mortality risk reduction. Our theoretical framework can explain many empirical findings in this literature, including an inverted-U life-cycle WTP and an order of magnitude difference in prime-aged adults WTP. By endogenizing leisure and employing multiple income measures, we reconcile the literature's large variation in estimated income elasticities. By accounting for gender- and race-specific stochastic mortality and income processes, we explain the literature's black-white and female-male differences.

Auction Mechanisms for Allocating Subsidies for Carbon Emissions Reduction: An Experimental Investigation
Haoran He, Yefeng Chen
RFF Discussion Paper EfD 14-06 | April 2014
Abstract: One method to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is to subsidize emissions-reducing activities. The question is how to allocate such subsidies. Allocation through auctions is an emerging mechanism. In a controlled experimental market setting, we compare the effects of a variety of auction mechanisms for allocating subsidies for carbon emissions reduction in China. Besides the conventional auction mechanisms, we place particular focus on testing the actual performance of the auction mechanism proposed by Erik Maskin (2011). We find that, while the Maskin auction mechanism spends the most from a fixed subsidy budget and leads to the largest emissions reduction, its per-unit emissions reduction cost is higher than that of discriminatory and uniform-price auction mechanisms. Both the Maskin and uniform-price auctions outperform discriminatory auctions in price discovery. Furthermore, from the government's perspective, the Maskin auctions exhibit the strongest improvement tendency with repeated auctions.

Explaining the Adoption of Diesel Fuel Passenger Cars in Europe
Joshua Linn
RFF Discussion Paper 14-08 | April 2014
Abstract: Compared with gasoline engines, diesel fuel engines significantly reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from passenger vehicles, but they emit more nitrogen oxides and other pollutants. Across countries, the market share of diesel fuel engines in passenger vehicles varies from close to zero to more than 80 percent. Using a structural model of vehicle markets in seven European countries, I show that vehicle taxes and willingness to pay for fuel costs, rather than fuel prices or supply, explain adoption. The model is used to compare the environmental implications of fuel taxes and carbon dioxide emissions rate standards.

Two World Views on Carbon Revenues
Dallas Burtraw
, Samantha Sekar
RFF Discussion Paper 13-32 | October 2013
Related journal article
Abstract: The introduction of a price on carbon dioxide is expected to be more efficient than prescriptive regulation. It also instantiates substantial economic value. Initially programs allocated this value to incumbent firms (grandfathering), but the growing movement toward auctioning or emissions fees makes carbon revenues into a payment for environmental services. This paper asks, to whom should this payment accrue? If the atmosphere resource, as a common property resource, is viewed as the property of government, then the decision of how to use the revenue can be viewed as a fiscal problem, and efficiency considerations dominate. If the atmosphere is viewed as held in common, then the revenue might be considered compensation to owners and delivered as payment to individuals. This decision has efficiency and distributional consequences that affect the political economy and the likelihood and durability of climate policy. We summarize trends among six existing carbon-pricing programs.

Comparative Life Cycle Assessments: Carbon Neutrality and Wood Biomass Energy
Roger A. Sedjo
RFF Discussion Paper 13-11 | April 2013
Abstract: Biomass energy is expected to play a major role in the substitution of renewable energy sources for fossil fuels over the next several decades. The US Energy Information Administration (EIA 2012) forecasts increases in the share of biomass in US energy production from 8 percent in 2009 to 15 percent by 2035. The general view has been that carbon emitted into the atmosphere from biological materials is carbon neutral—part of a closed loop whereby plant regrowth simply recaptures the carbon emissions associated with the energy produced. Recently this view has been challenged, and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering regulations to be applied to biomass energy carbon emissions. A basic approach for analyses of environmental impacts has been the use of life cycle assessment (LCA), a methodology for assessing and measuring the environmental impact of a product over its lifetime—from raw material extraction through materials processing, manufacture, distribution, use, repair and maintenance, and disposal or recycling. However, LCA approaches vary, and the results of alternative methodologies often differ (Helin et al. 2012). This study investigates and compares the implications of these alternative approaches for emissions from wood biomass energy, the carbon footprint, and also highlights the differences in LCA environmental impacts.

Mercury and Air Toxics Standards Analysis Deconstructed: Changing Assumptions, Changing Results

RFF Discussion Paper 13-10 | April 2013
Abstract: Several recent studies have used simulation models to quantify the potential effects of recent environmental regulations on power plants, including the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS), one of the US Environmental Protection Agency's most expensive regulations. These studies have produced inconsistent results about the effects on the industry, making general conclusions difficult. We attempt to reconcile these differences by representing the variety of assumptions in these studies within a common modeling platform. We find that the assumptions, and their differences from the way MATS will be implemented, make a substantial impact on projected retirement of coal-fired capacity and generation, investments that are required, and emissions reductions. Almost uniformly, the actual regulation, when examined in its final form and in isolation, provides more flexibility than is represented in most models. We find this leads to a smaller impact on the composition of the electricity generating fleet than most studies have predicted.

Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
02 Feb 2013 16:50 GMT | Politics, Asia, Nepal
Nepal's Maoists have vowed to never to guerilla warfare and said they are willing to back an independent prime minister, after holding their party's general convention.
Party leaders said at the general convention in Hetauda on Saturday that they would step down from government to seek a popular mandate to lead a "socialist revolution", six years after a decade-long armed rebellion which toppled the world's last Hindu monarchy.
"Let's agree on an independent person who will lead the government. And we will endorse this concept of a government led by an independent person to hold the election through this convention," said Pushpa Kamal Dahal, the party's chairman.
Around 3,000 delegates and 100,000 supporters at the party's first general convention in 21 years in the southern town of Hetauda were greeted by a rousing opening address from Dahal, still known by his nom-de-guerre Prachanda.
"We were forced to launch the insurgency after adopting Marxism as a guiding principle. But we don't follow any ideology in its mechanical form. It's a science and it can be adapted," Prachanda said.
"We will institutionalise the gains we have made so far. We will not go back to the guerrilla warfare... In this age of globalisation, a country's independence hinges on its economic strength. Times have changed and old ways have become redundant."
He called for a "socialist revolution" to promote economic growth and create jobs at home so that young Nepalis were no longer forced to seek work abroad.
Party leaders said that it was a priority to develop policies that would allow for the re-integration of former fighters into society.
"We need a sustainable solution, not some temporary package," said Uttam Basnet, 49, regional leader in eastern Nepal.
The small town of Hetauda has seen its population of 80,000 triple during the convention. A giant marquee was constructed at the edge of a playground to house hundreds of thousands of supporters for the inaugural session on Saturday, with buildings across the city displaying the red hammer and sickle flag of the Maoists.
Hundreds of police officers were patrolling streets festooned with banners welcoming the party but also displaying slogans demanding "a new communist party" and "down with factionalism".
An estimated 16,000 people died in the 1996-2006 conflict fought by the Maoists against the monarchy, which was deposed when the rebels turned to mainstream politics and took power in elections.

The Flourishing of Life, Self and OtherBeyond Humanism seeks to set humanism on a new footing. Enlightenment ideals of an autonomous, disconnected, and rational self are unrealistic. Together with Romantic dreams of authenticity and expression of the self it has had adverse effects, contributing to egotism and narcissism. Instead, this book employs a philosophy oriented towards the relationship between self and other. The book gives a
$33.59Randall Collins traces the movement of philosophical thought in ancient Greece, China, Japan, India, the medieval Islamic and Jewish world, medieval Christendom, and modern Europe. What emerges from this history is a social theory of intellectual change, one that avoids both the reduction of ideas to the influences of society at large and the purely contingent local construction of meanings.

$5.39Whatever our circumstances, life is a journey into meaning, a trek through the big picture. Many of the dominant ideas in our culture are dead-ends or detours on that voyage home. We can get lost in false notions of what science means, of what 'God' is and the burdens of individual destiny. In this unusual book Andrew Lohrey explores the contemporary nexus of philosophy, science and spirituality.

Specialist marine insurance intermediary Seacurus has welcomed the decision of Lloyd's to amend its risk codes to include a new class of insurance covering seafarer abandonment (SA).
Lloyd's provides guidance to underwriters on the classification of business into various categories using a risk coding scheme which provides a common basis for the classification and description of risk. Thomas Brown, managing director of UK-based Seacurus, says, "This new class of insurance is very welcome and very timely. Seafarer Abandonment (SA) is classed as financial guarantee insurance, meaning that any Lloyd's syndicate wanting to write it will need approval from the Lloyd's performance directorate to do so. Seacurus, acting as the managing general underwriter for Lloyd's Brit Syndicate under a fully delegated underwriting authority, has that approval."
Last month, Seacurus launched CrewSEACURE, a new insurance policy to indemnify seafarers in the event of the financial default of their employers which, for the first time, offers recompense in respect of unpaid crew wages. The policy will enable all employers of seafarers to meet their regulatory obligations under the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (MLC), which enters force on August 20, 2013.
Thomas Brown says, "MLC 2006 recognizes the need to ensure that seafarer recruitment and manning agencies do not supply seafarers to shipowners without the requisite financial protection in place. Such protection provides a financial safeguard to seafarers in the event that they are left abandoned as a result of the financial failure of the shipowner.
"Many of the enquires we have received to date have been from manning and recruitment agents trying to satisfy these obligations. A number of these agents are very concerned about supplying seafarers to vessels without this level of protection in place. Those agents who do refuse to provide seafarers who are not protected in this way will be acting in accordance with the requirements of MLC, and industry will effectively be regulating industry, at the same time encouraging best employment practice."

Dude Perfect shatters longest shot record
Oct 1, 2010, 5:16 PM EDT
Here's the latest from the Texas A&M-based trick shot group Dude Perfect, and boy is it impressive. Dude Perfect first gained mainstream attention for making a shot off the third deck of Kyle Field, which was, at the time, a record for the World's Longest Basketball shot.
That shot got the Dude Perfect crew on Sportcenter and got them some sponsored gigs, but their claim to the furthest shot record was challenged by another trick-shot crew, Legendary Shots, when the latter bunch made a shot from the top of the Vulcan monument in Birmingham, Alabama.
Well, Dude Perfect has now erased any doubt about the longest shot record after making a shot from the top of the "cross tower," which, according to KBTX.com, was 216 feet off the ground. (The basket was 150 feet away from the base of the tower.) By my count, the ball was in the air for about five seconds before going through the hoop. Impressive stuff.
One thing I might like to see is a bit more transparency from the Dude Perfect crew — the fact that the shot was made at night suggests they were out there for many hours before finally making the shot, and I might prefer seeing the work that goes into doing something like this more than being asked to buy the illusion that he hit this on the first try — it's still really, really, really impressive. Keep up the great work, boredom warriors.
