3/4 cup
1/2 cup
white sugar
1 (3 ounce) package
fruit flavored Jell-O® mix
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
baking powder
1 teaspoon
1/3 cup
white sugar for decoration
I used Cherry Jell-O and sprinkled with multi-colored Betty Crocker Party Sugar instead. I got lots of requests for the recipe at work. They weren't too sweet, a little salty (which I like)and the cherry flavor jell-o added a familar taste to the cookies, but people could not guess what it was. Definately will make again!
Very simple recipe. Used Splenda instead of sugar and made with strawberry jello. Decorated them for Christmas. My eldest said he could taste the salt but I like a cookie that is not too sweet and it must not have bothered him by the amount he ate. Youngest went nuts over them. If I would have had time, I would have made a batch with Lime jello which would have been very pretty next to the strawberry. Oh well, next time.
12/19 Just wanted to add a note. We enjoyed these fresh from the oven the day they were made but nobody would eat them after a day or two of them sitting. The jello taste was so strong and fake tasting that they did not go over well.

Some of the coolest Christmas cookies ever! I usually make one batch of strawberry or raspberry and one of lime, so you have red and green! Everyone loves them.
This is my recipe, and I want to mention a few things I forgot when I submitted it. DON"T use sugar free gelatin! It will totally change the taste of the cookies, the same for using most sugar substitutes for the sugar in the recipe. Keep different flavors of cookies in different storage bags until ready to put them on a plate or whatever to serve, the flavors will mingle and make some interesting tasting cookies. Put them in an airtight container as soon as cool, or they will become quite crisp (unless you like crisp cookies!)
The taste of these cookies is surprising! Really delicious. I made them for my
daughter's class in their school colors using grape and lemon jello. The kids
loved them.
"Yummmm!", Said my husband. "Oooo!...And they get Yummier, as you eat them!"
4 stars for easiness and kid-friendly recipe, 3 stars for taste. I will make these again for a kid audience, but have better recipes for adults palettes.
I substituted butter for the shortening, and it worked well. Used strawberry jello this time. Like another reviewer, I would like to make more colors when I have more time.
These are pretty good. Definitely 4star for easiness and speed. Flavor 3 1/2 to 4star. These are cookies with kid appeal and would be sweet in a variety of colors. I made red and green for christmas and they will look cute with the other cookies I am serving. I think the flavor would be better if you added in some butter in place of some of the shortening.

Reverse-Engineering a Frame of "Supreme Commander" 40
An anonymous reader writes: When Supreme Commander was released 8 years ago, it redefined the RTS genre, with its real-time strategic zoom and its epic battles involving several thousands of units at once, while bringing a whole generation of PCs to their knees. Today an article revisits the process of rendering a frame of the game by reverse-engineering the API calls made to the GPU. All the techniques and algorithms are explained in detail, many of them still used in current video games.

New iPhone version of Sim City Game: This is a good news, now iPhone also can be played Sim City game, this classic game to be launched this month! SimCity of the iPhone version will be a complete Sim City game. Mobile version will include all elements of the game, pre-built cities, accountants recommended that water pipes, natural disasters and so on.
New iPhone Game – iPhone version of Sim City Game Pictures
iPhone version of Sim City operation similar to the use of Google Maps, the map move, enlarge, reduce (but not rotate the map), as well as to place some of the simple object will not be too much trouble. However, in dealing with larger areas would be more error-prone, for example, sometimes things will overlap, or did not like the road you want to build it. EA will also allow players to carry out some simple amendments, but as more and more things on the map-intensive, delete the wrong situation will occur often.
The performance of the game screen is very good, and very similar to Sim City 3000.

"This salad is made with marinated raw broccoli in a garlicky sauce for numnums! A recipe from my grandma."

4 cloves
garlic, peeled
1 1/2 teaspoons
1 bunch
broccoli, cut into florets
1/3 cup
olive oil
1/4 cup
red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon
Dijon mustard
1/2 cup
grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
I loved this recipe. It is so simple to make. The only modifications I made were to blanch the broccoli first for the beautiful green color that it brings out, and I also used balsamic vinegar instead of the red wine. It gave it a slightly sweeter taste and very mild acidity.
I was looking for a healthy salad that I could make ahead for a party I am giving. I made this with balsamic vinegar and blanched broccoli. I snuck a taste after three hours, and liked it. Once I added the cheese to my testing portion, I was not impressed. The next day when I re-tasted, the broccoli was a very strange color and I did not like the salad at all. Adding the cheese just made matters worse. I would only make this again if I was going to eat it within a few hours.

I LOVED this recipe -- even better than chocolate cake, and I love chocolate cake!
I put all the ingredients, sans the broccoli in a food processor until it was like a vinaigrette.
Like other reviewers, I used Balsamic vinegar instead of red wine (since it has a bit of sweetness), and I also added 1 tsp. of Honey since I like things sweet. I increased the garlic by 2 cloves. Then, as per other readers, I lightly steamed the broccoli -- for 4 minutes -- and poured the mixture over the broccoli. I added some cubed, (boiled) tofu and put that in the fridge to marinate for 3 hours. I served it over brown rice. This dish is fan-freakin-tastic!
I loved this recipe. I was looking for new recipes with fresh broccoli and this is one I will definitely make again. Easy to prepare and excellent flavor. Just make sure you like food with a strong garlic flavor. I forgot to put on the parmesan chhese and still thought it was great! My kids thought the flavor was too strong. Thanks!!
I made this recipe using half the garlic. I thought it was really good. My husband, who is a picky eater, like it too.
I'm not a huge fan of raw broccoli so I used steamed and cut the amount of oil in half. I think just about any vinegar will do here but I stuck to the recipe. It was a nice change of pace with or without the parmesan cheese.
Yum, this was great. I would definitely make again.I used my broccoli raw as stated. I did reduce the salt to just under 1tsp. I also used 1 huge clove of garlic(prob. equal to 3cloves) used cider vinegar because thats what I had. I didnt do the paste thing with the garlic I just put all marinade ingreds in the blender until smooth, then poured over the broc in a ziploc bag. Turned bag every so often. Topped with fresh grated parm. I used grey poupon mustard.
I am usually pretty generous when it comes to rating recipes, but I'm not sure why everyone liked this so much. I love broccoli, and the combination of the vinegar, salt and so much raw garlic is extremely salty and not good. I won't be making a recipe like this again.

While August is not generally the hottest sales month of the year, it does provide great opportunities for sales prep. There are 21 selling days this month. How will you use them? In this week's sales tip, Bill Farquharson gives six ideas for making the best use of time.
Bill Farquharson
The quote has been sent. Now the waiting begins. Two days go by and you call to follow up. Nothing. You call again tomorrow. Nothing. Twice more within a week. Same results. How long do you go? When do you quit? And could this have been avoided entirely? That's what Bill and Kelly have in mind in today's Short Attention Span Webinar.
Your mom used to tell you that you are judged by the company you keep. Updating that wise advice, the network that you build is the reflection of your character and integrity. We are told to build our network and social media makes that task as easy as clicking, "Accept." However, as Bill Farquharson reveals in this week's blog, more is not better. Quality overrides quantity.
The most fun you can have as a salesperson is when the client calls and makes you part of the discussion and not just part of the quoting process. The challenge is getting to that position and that is the subject of this week's sales tip from Bill Farquharson.
You know their coming. You can sense their presence all around you. They're like sharks in the water and they smell blood. They're objections and you need to know how to fend them off, or else they will eat you alive. In this week's 'Best of' Short Attention Span Webinar, Bill and Kelly will give you ammunition and ideas for surviving the assault.
When you make a sale, are you already thinking about the reorder? No, not the one that is coming in a few months. The one 10 years from now. If you are not, you should be. That point is made in this week's blog by Bill Farquharson.
Psst...Over here. Do you want to know the secret to success in sales? Would you like to know the key to finding a great salesperson? Wouldn't it be nice if this was the subject of this week's video sales tip by Bill Farquharson? Well, good news. It is!
With all the talk about finding good salespeople, it might be a good idea to know what to look for. In this week's Short Attention Span Webinar, Bill and Kelly give you a list of what makes a great sales rep great.
It does not happen all that often, but every once in a while we are given the opportunity to demonstrate what it is like to do business with us prior to actually placing that first order. A story of a used car purchase gone bad illustrates this point in this week's blog by Bill Farquharson.
You can tell a lot about a person from what they read. Peruse someone's bookshelf and it is like looking into their head. What's on your bookshelf? Do you even have a personal sales library? In this week's video sales tips, Bill Farquharson tells you why it's important.
You know you need to. Occasionally you even want to. But you are terrified and that is keeping you from doing it. If you could just beat back the terrors involved in doing it, your business will grow. It's sales and it's scary and it's the subject of this week's SASW by Bill and Kelly.
Do you remember your first day in sales? Probably not. It was likely that you did not come rocketing out of the gates and find instant success. Most of us failed to meet early expectations and goals, in part because they were improperly established by our managers. What is a better idea? You will find the answer in this week's blog by Bill Farquharson.
Everything about you, Sales Rep, is a statement of your work. Your punctuality. Your words. And according to this week's sales tip by Bill Farquharson, the way you dress. Watch and learn more about the connection between appearance and sales volume.
Of all the things you wanted to be when you grew up, was "remarkable" one of them? Probably not. But as a salesperson, becoming remarkable is a worthy goal. Find out why in this week's Short Attention Span Webinar "Best of" series with Bill Farquharson and Kelly Mallozzi.
Are you goal-oriented? Whether it's sales growth or weight loss, we all set out with an end in mind. Think back six months to those New Year's resolutions that you made. If you can even recall them, how's the progress going towards their achievement? I thought so.

UTAS Fulbright winners
Dr Jessica Walker (right), a research fellow with the Centre for Renewable Energy and Power Systems, School of Engineering, is the 2012 winner of the Fulbright Tasmania Scholarship, sponsored by the Tasmanian Government's Department of Economic Development, Tourism and the Arts and the University of Tasmania.
Dr Sue Baker (left), from the School of Plant Science, has won a Fulbright Postdoctoral Scholarship to spend three and a half months working with the University of Washington and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources.
Through her Fulbright Dr Walker will go to the United States Naval Academy Annapolis, Maryland, for 12 months to undertake research into the renewable energy technology of tidal power.
Unlike other renewable sources such as solar, wind and wave, tidal power is predictable as it relies on lunar gravitational forces rather than the weather, she says.
"This makes it easier to integrate into the electricity grid. However there are two potential performance issues in the operation of tidal turbines: the roughening of the turbine blades due to impact, cavitation or scour due to particulates, and the fouling of the turbine blades by marine growth."
Through her Fulbright, Dr Baker will evaluate the benefits of retention forestry practices for biodiversity conservation.
Dr Baker's forestry project will critically assess the role of unlogged patches within coupes in facilitating re-establishment of mature-forest biodiversity in logged areas.
"The retention forestry approach was developed in Western North America based on insights into species recovery following the massive volcanic eruption of Mt St Helens in 1980," she explained.
"Contrary to traditional theory emphasising immigration of organisms from outside of the affected landscape, diverse refuges within the blast area allowed some organisms to survive volcanic impacts. The same is expected from unlogged refuges, and my project will determine how far beetles and plants re-colonise into logged areas."
A third scholarship has been awarded to Hobart-born Dr Richard Adams, a UTAS alumnus (BA, 1987) who is now a Lieutenant Commander within the Royal Australian Navy Directorate of Leadership and Ethics.
Dr Adams has won a Fulbright Professional Scholarship to go to Yale University for four months. There he will examine expectations in military doctrine that soldiers subjugate their will to command. His research will illuminate the obligation of soldiers to act with moral purpose and autonomy as a force for good in the world, rather than as brute instruments of state power. The research aims to establish the basis upon which military doctrine may take a more morally sophisticated form.
The Fulbright program is the largest educational scholarship of its kind, created by US Senator J. William Fulbright and the US Government in 1946. Aimed at promoting mutual understanding through educational exchange, it operates between the US and 155 countries.
In Australia, the scholarships are funded by the Australian and US governments and corporate partners and administered by the Australian-American Fulbright Commission in Canberra.
Twenty five scholarships have been awarded in the 2012 round. Applications for 2013 Fulbright Scholarships open on 1 June.

Axles are extremely important to your car. They are on par with brakes and tires when it comes to the safety of your vehicle.
Most of us think of an axle as a bar between two wheels, or a straight axle, like you find on a train car or a little red wagon. The truth is, most axles are far more complex. That's why it's important to know an axle expert, like the Car-X Man, who can keep your car's axles worry free.
The axle is connected by the wheel to the CV joint. This is covered by a CV joint boot, a protective flexible covering. It's important to make sure the boot is not cracked or leaking. This can cause brake fluid to leak out, possibly resulting in serious damage to the CV joints. Your Car-X Man will inspect your CV joint boots whenever he has your car up on the lift.

Newborn Testing: Types of Tests for Newborns
Now that you have had your baby and the delivery was a success there is still one more thing to do before your baby heads home. Depending on what state you live in, there are a number of different screening test that your baby will receive.
These tests are intended to detect inborn disorders that could result in early mortality or lifelong disability. Generally, most states only test for selected disorders and not all states do the same screening tests. It is important to be informed about any and all tests that are available for your baby.
What tests can be performed after my baby is born?
According to the March of Dimes (MOD), there are tests for over 30 disorders. However, not all states test for all of these disorders. The March of Dimes feels that states should screen for at least the 30 specific disorders that effective treatment is available for.
The following list of these 30 disorders also includes the amount of babies affected if the data is known:
1. 3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency (3MCC)
2. 3-OH 3-CH3 glutaric aciduria (HMG) or 3-hydroxy-3methylglutaryl-CoA lyase deficiency
3. Argininosuccinic acid lyase deficiency (ASAL) 1 in 70,000 babies
4. Beta-ketothiolase deficiency (BKD)
5. Biotinidase deficiency (BIOT) 1 in 75,000
6. Carnitine transporter deficiency (CTD) or carnitine uptake defect (CUD) 1 in every 40,000 babies
7. Citrullinemia (CIT)
8. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) 1 in 15,000
9. Congenital hypothyroidism (HYPOTH) 1 in 3,000
10. Cystic fibrosis (CF)
11. Galactosemia (GALT) 1 in 30,000-60,000
12. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD)
13. Glutaric acidemia type I (GA I)
14. Hb S/Beta-thalassemia (Hb S/Th)
15. Hb S/C disease (Hb S/C)
16. Hearing deficiency 3-4 in 1,000
17. Homocystinuria (HCY) 1 in every 200,000
18. Isovaleric academia (IVA) 1 in every 230,000
19. Long-chain L-3-OH acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (LCHAD)
20. Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) less than 1 in 100,000
21. Medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCAD)
22. Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA, Cbl A,B)
23. Methylmalonic acidemia with Homocystinuria (MMA + HCU)
24. Medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCAD) 1 in 15,000
25. Phenylketonuria (PKU) 1 in 25,000
26. Propionic acidemia (PROP)
27. Sickle cell anemia (SCA) 1 in 400 African Americans and at lower frequency among Hispanics, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and South Asian descent
28. Trifunctional protein deficiency (TFP)
29. Tyrosinemia type I (TYR I) 1 in every 100,000 babies
30. Very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCAD)
The most common disorders that are tested for are Phenylketonuria (PKU), Congenital Hypothyroidisim, Galactosemia, Maple Syrup Urine Disease, Homocystinuria, Biotinidase, Sickle Cell Disease, Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia and Cystic Fibrosis.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that a repeat specimen be taken 1 to 2 weeks later from infants whose initial test was taken within the first 24 hours of life.
What tests does my state screen for?
For a list of all the states in the US and what screening tests they do you can go to the National Newborn and Genetics Resource Center. Newborn screening tests are required by the state and are mandatory. If you do not wish to have these tests performed you must discuss this with your healthcare provider.
How and when is the testing done?
Blood is drawn from the heel of the baby, also known as the heel-stick test, before the baby is discharged from the hospital or within a few days of birth. The March of Dimes (MOD) has a timeline for the best time to take the test.
- Optimal time for taking blood specimen for testing: Baby is 3-5 days old or between the first 48-96 hours of life.
- Satisfactory time for taking blood specimen for testing: Baby is 2 days old or at least 24 hours since birth.
- Limited results from blood specimen: Baby is 1 day old or less than 24 hours since birth.
There are two different testing types; newborn screening (NBS) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). The difference between these two tests is that MS/MS tests for many disorders at one time.
In most cases you will not be notified if the results are negative. If the result is positive for any of the disorders, then you will be notified immediately and further testing will be done to confirm any diagnosis.
Results can be abnormal if the blood was drawn too early, the baby is premature, or other reasons.
Should I get additional screening tests for my baby?
There are many reasons why doctors and hospitals do not perform certain tests. These reasons could be due to cost, low risk, availability, insurance and staffing. These tests are provided through a doctor's written order and it is best to discuss any of these screening tests with your doctor.
Possible reasons to consider additional screening tests would be:
- Previously affected child
- History of a previous infant death with possible metabolic disorder
- At risk ethnic population
- Family history of disorder
- Premature birth
Doctors may feel that additional testing is not necessary because the risk of the baby having a disorder is extremely low and/or the test is not available. However, there are kits that you can order from hospitals or laboratories that have these tests available. All you have to do is ask your doctor for an extra blood sample.
Where can I get more information about these tests and disorders?
If you would like to get additional testing you can find out more information from savebabies.org
You can also call Baylor Medical Center at 1-800-4-BAYLOR (1-800-422-9567) or Mayo Medical Laboratories at 1-800-533-1710 where you can request a kit. These kits range anywhere from $25-$77. These kits test for 30-35 disorders.
If you are interested in learning more about these disorders you can contact the March of Dimes or National Newborn and Screening Resource Center
If you are planning to have a baby, you can get more information on Genetic Counseling and testing.

Cold weather and near-freezing water temperatures stimulate Neuse River Waterdogs to find mates. These aquatic salamanders hide under rocks and in holes during warm weather, when predatory fish are active. A species of special concern in North Carolina, the seven- to ten-inch amphibians live only in the Neuse and Tar River basins. Why do they live in such a restricted range? Museum researchers discovered that Neuse River Waterdogs have a different number of chromosomes from other waterdogs, and are biochemically different. Because of their sensitivity to low oxygen and polluted waters, they're found in relatively clean, flowing streams that don't dry up during droughts.

Opening Ceremonies Rock Out!
The opening ceremonies tell the story of how the United Kingdom was born. Music, the industrial revolution, children's book characters, and the technology revolution are all part of the storytelling that took place in this year's Opening Ceremonies.
The Ceremonies ended with Beatles legend Paul McCartney singing "Hey Jude" while the torch was being lit.
During the ceremony, 204 countries made their walk into Olympic Stadium. Team USA's flag bearer was fencing star Mariel Zagunis, with over 600 athletes following behind him. This year also marks the first time in US history that the women Olympians outnumber the men. Miami Heat's Lebron James and Chris Bosh were both part of the parade, marching into the arena underneath the stars and stripes.
SIDENOTE: Team USA went with a British look to their uniforms for the opening ceremonies.

Phantom Gourmet and TV Diner
- j
- Joanie
Did anyone else watch the "debuts" of these shows this weekend? First was the new TV Diner on NECN at 10AM Sat. with Billy Costa. They were dragging in celebrities to wish him luck: Ming, the Upstairs people, Walter McCarty from the Celtics, etc. Pretty pointless. The theme was something like new hot spots. Seems like they only got to three places, Excelsior, Elements and I can't remember where else. Rating system is 1-5 plates with platinum (I think) being the best and the worst is whatever color and "needs work", so not too critical. Did some interviews including the Bambara chef. Made a comment about how they won't be doing anything with fast food. The one real twist is that a chosen TV Diner will go out to dinner on them to review a place, report back, get another gift certificate that's matched with an email viewer. I'll hop on that. This repeats at 8PM Sun. as Phantom did in the past.
The new Phantom came on at 11AM Sat. on Ch. 38, not sure if it repeats. The theme that day was pizza. New host Dave Robicheau seems like a nice guy but isn't too exciting. The interviews were way too long and they're definitely still dealing with things like best frozen pizza in the "Top of the Food Chain" segment. Then it seemed silly cuz for the "Great 8", instead of doing the best pizza places, they made it Italian in general. Why, when there are enough places in Boston never mind places like Sally's and Flatbread Pizza that they could have easily made a list of 8. You'd think mentioning places like Tuscan Grill and No. 9 Park (?) would be for a completely different show. I'll still watch both cuz I'm obsessed like that, but neither is as good as it could be IMHO (I say as I scratch my mosquito bites from White Farms Ice Cream stand).
I caught TVDiner, and I think it has some kinks to work out, but has a lot of potential. They seem to be truly interested in feedback from viewers too. Definitely worth following.
I've grown really tired of the Andelmans' schtick, so I don't watch PG anymore. Just too much pandering to their advertisers and too many inane comments from brothers Dan and Dave.
The third reviewed restaurant was Great Bay.
I really liked the fact that the TV Diner reviews were able to be critical, even if the overall review of a place was positive. It shows that they aren't sucking up to the celeb chefs and advertisers a la Phantom Gourmet. I also like the (so far at least) Boston-centric focus of the restaurants mentioned, rather than spreading all over New England like Phantom. Overall, I was impressed with Costas and his show.
Even though their new host is comatose and the restaurant reviews are suspect, I'll continue to watch Phantom Gourmet too. There is some entertainment value, they often have guests (like Michael Schlow, Chris Schlesinger and Jasper White) who are worth listening to, and the 5 second snippets of food on plates can at times be very informative.
re: GaryLovesFood
I feel like they are all getting kickbacks everytime they love a place. Maybe they aren't....but it kind of feels that way.
re: umami76
I agree - I also get the feeling that they get kickbacks of some form, especially since they delete many negative reivews that folks put on their "forum".
re: Delhiwala
Why would you need kickbacks when you are getting paid in the first place?
I am reasonably sure PG gives placement and positive reviews for advertisers. TV Diner not so much.
re: AHan
Well, as long as this thread has been dusted off and resuscitated, let me dust off another, specifically relating to this:
re: finlero
In retrospect, I now wish I'd spent fewer hours of my life dissecting the pros and cons of the Phantom Gourmet.
re: MC Slim JB
That's probably some lucid hindsight on your part, but that thread was a hell of a lot more entertaining (never mind informative) than the actual show.
re: finlero
Looking back on that way-too-long thread, I think what got me going is my sense that dishonest critics reflect badly on honest ones: if one guy is whoring it out, it casts suspicion on everyone who writes or broadcasts about food semi-professionally.
I don't mind someone who takes a lowbrow approach to food writing, or fills a reviewing niche like casual-dining chains that I don't want to touch. It's the pretending to care and pretending to be unbiased, and actually conning some people into buying this micron-thin veneer of probity, that galls me.
Watch Phantom for the entertainment value, by all means, but please don't mistake it for actual reviewing.
re: MC Slim JB
Can't believe you folks dedicate as much psychic energy, text and effort to PG. I've got no respect for the dufus whatsoever; he is what he is.
re: MC Slim JB
I truly think people should just take Phantom Gourmet at face value. It's entertainment, and it makes you hungry watching it. Well, at least it does make me hungry watching it at 10 am on a Saturday when I've been out to 2 am the night before :) It gives me a few suggestions for some places I might normally not be aware of, but I don't for a second think that's its going to be a real gourmet, foodie type experience. It's something to watch. That's it. If you don't like it, don't watch it.
re: massgirl
(I don't watch the Phantom Gourmet anymore: I find Dave Andelman's overly-modulated, budget-broadcast-school narrator voice too grating to bear.)
I'm sort of running out of give-a-damn on this subject, but much of the extended thread that finlero cited above discussed this notion that it's not just entertainment to a lot of viewers: they treat it as a review show.
Watching it, you can't really tell which segments are proper reviews and which are bought and paid for. The crux of my problem is this unethical blending of paid-for and ostensibly unbiased content. You can take the show at face value, but you really shouldn't.
re: MC Slim JB
The way I understand it, from a (reliable) source inside the organization: "Restaurant Report Cards" are legit, with an unsteered reviewer (though, thanks to the scoring system, big portions and good value get factored in significantly to the overall score, as much as, say, appetizers).
The rest of the segments are decided topically (we're doing a BBQ show; we're doing a Comfort Food show, etc.), with preference given to sponsors and advertisers, as well as newbies (to encourage future advertisers), but not direct pay-for-play.
Agree that it muddies the waters, but they seem to be consistent with these divisions. Which the average viewer wouldn't know.
re: MC Slim JB
A lot of people think professional wrestling is a sport and that the Jerry Springer show is real people sharing about their actual lives with no premeditated "script" too.
re: massgirl
I couldn't agree more. I often watch it on weekend mornings, usually when I'm a tad hungover and loving the 'food porn' angle. I don't take their reviews seriously in any shape/way/form, but I watch it regularly.
I too was glad to hear Billy Costa say "we won't be doing fast food on this show!", but oddly, the very next segment on the show was announced by a title shot proclaiming "Sponsored by Papa Gino's!". Made me doubt him.
re: hiddenboston
I was wondering what the heck was going on too. It's been a long time since "Robey" was the host of PG. On a recent note, did anyone watch TD when Billy Costa was at Patriot Place and kept getting the name wrong. Doing MC's favorite thing and adding a 's onto Patriot for most of the show.
re: Joanie
Billy Costa should know better than that. Everone knows that the apostrophe goes after the "s." ;-b

Lately I've been reading Zen Under the Gun: Four Zen Masters from Turbulent Times. It is a collection of zen lessons from four zen masters who lived in turbulent periods in Chinese history. The lessons are translated and assembled by J.C. Cleary, a Ph.D. in East Asian Languages and Civilizations from Harvard University.
The first lesson I want to examine is The Infinite Ocean by Chinese Zen master Hengchuan (1222 – 1289). The lesson reads:
Hengchuan held up the staff and said, "The ocean of reality-nature has no shores. Mountains, rivers, and the great earth are waves on this ocean. Sun, moon, and stars are waves on this ocean. It flows into the nostrils of all the buddhas of past, present, and future. If all of you want to emerge [from your bubble of delusion and witness this ocean], go slowly and gently reawaken."
In this lesson Hengchuan's staff symbolizes the teaching function and salvific work of the Zen adepts. The ocean of reality-nature refers to the system of natural laws that constitute the natural order of the universe. This natural order is everywhere and everything. Hengchuan expounds on this by saying the mountains, rivers, earth, the sun, and the moon are all facets, or waves, of this single, underlying reality. All Buddhas are part of, and can correctly perceive, this true nature of reality. If you want to escape your bubble of delusion, or your misconceptions about the nature of reality which causes suffering, then you must reexamine the world freshly without the fallacious preconceptions that you have built up.
This nature of reality is the natural order of things all around us – not the categorizations, labels, biases, and feelings we have may have about it. Reality is the territory, and our perceptions are the map. If our map is incorrect we will be deluded about the territory. If one is able to correctly perceive the nature of the universe, then one will not be deluded into the wrong thinking and wrong action that causes suffering. If one can shed their preconceptions, reawaken, and examine the world for what it is with a fresh pair of eyes, then one can perceive the true nature of reality like the Buddhas perceive it.

Tasts even cheesyer if u use box mac and cheese and prepare it with the box cheese added with the cheese sause
This was my first time making any type of baked Mac and Cheese, and it came out great. Rave reviews from the hubby and kids. The only changes I made to the recipe were: I used 2 cups of evaporated milk instead of regular, added salt & pepper as I was mixing the macaroni and mixture together. I spooned half of the macaroni into the casserole dish and then added a layer of shredded cheese before adding the rest of the macaroni. I topped it off with the layer of cheese as the recipe calls for, but also sprinkled some parmasean cheese and fine bread crumbs. I would NOT skip the bacon - it just took the dish to the next level (I even added extra!) Will make this again real soon!
This is a good recipe - easy to put together. I realized I didn't have bacon so I sliced up some kielbasa - a good kid dish!
Great Mac and Cheese recipe! A word of advice though is don't leave out the bacon. It adds the amount of salt that you need for this to be as delicious as it can be.
Oh gosh this was good! I used shell pasta in this. I tasted it before going into the baking dish and it was grainy (which is the problem I have ALL the time). After baking the graininess went away and it was perfectly creamy, cheesy and bacon-y! I did add a little panko on top before baking. So happy I tried this one, it's a keeper!
Fast, easy, and simple flavors for kids. I'm glad I undercooked the pasta by a couple of minutes - it was a bit overdone after baking with all that sauce. I also seasoned with S & P as per other reviews.

Excerpt from Wall Reliefs by Joe Goode by Julie Joyce
It seems every image I have used since completing school has to do with seeing through something, whether it is glass, water, skies, fires, trees...everything. What I am doing is projecting a way of seeing, essentially the same way through a different avenue, through a different image, in a way you don't normally see.
—Joe Goode
"Wall Reliefs by Joe Goode" featured a group of five sculptures designed and produced specifically for the main gallery at Pomona College. The Staircases (as this series of works was called) were indeed as named—replicas of actual staircases, positioned in profile and sunken into the wall at varying depths. Integral to the installation were colors and shadows cast through the strategic positioning of ceiling lights colored with filters—blue, red, yellow—that bathed these objects in variations of purples and oranges. Goode's installation exists now primarily as anecdote or hearsay: vibrant for the viewer who had the good fortune of experiencing it, yet vanishing almost as quickly as it appeared. The artist hasn't elaborated much on this series or this particular exhibition, at least in comparison to his other works. And their appearance in print is most often just as fleeting; they are discussed by Helene Winer in the modest exhibition catalog that accompanied his Pomona exhibition, but they appear briefly or not at all in other publications. Enhancing their elusiveness is the fact that only three of the sculptures reportedly still exist. However, this installation has a lasting significance, not only for the artist and the program at Pomona, but also in the exploration and expansion of art in Southern California.
Goode began working on the Staircases in 1964. Prior to the Pomona show, he exhibited a group of them in a 1966 solo exhibition at the Nicholas Wilder Gallery in Los Angeles. In this earlier manifestation, they projected from the wall to meet the viewer frontally, in contrast to the Wall Reliefs at Pomona, which were experienced primarily from their sides, where they existed "on the same plane" as the wall. This was an important distinction for Goode, who, then early in his career, was embarking on what was to become a life-long exploration of the physical and phenomenological aspects of spatial relationships. Other than the Staircases, he primarily explored these issues via conventional two-dimensional formats: painting, drawing, and collage. Thus, a large part of what distinguishes the Staircases from the rest of the artist's oeuvre is the fact that they extended into the actual third dimension.
Goode's Staircases were preceded by his Milk Bottle series (1961–62)—large monochrome paintings juxtaposed with an actual milk bottle painted the same color and positioned on the floor in front of the canvas. Goode recently recalled, "The idea to do stairs was from the same idea that inspired the Milk Bottle paintings." Upon arriving home at the small dwelling in Highland Park that the artist shared with his first wife and new baby, he would often find a glass milk bottle sitting on the steps near the door. Goode's fascination with the way the bottle "floated in space" was a part of the inspiration for these paintings, as was the way he could utilize this phenomenon toward the portrayal of expanding space, in this case by using the floor to reach beyond the canvas. The artist's House paintings (1963)—reductive renderings of typical California bungalows on a monochromatic background—synthesized Goode's use of the quotidian with his interest in metaphysical space. Goode explains: "If a house is typical enough, you always have an idea about what's inside. ...It was the idea of intellectual transparency that fascinated me." In the Window paintings, begun at the same time as the Staircases, Goode depicted a view of the sky through a window, and overlaid that with a sheet of transparent Plexi. This deceptively simple device acted to disrupt the view out the window while simultaneously reflecting the viewer's space, thus taking his explorations of space even further.
The Staircases, and even more prominently, the Wall Reliefs, appear to function like normal staircases, but in fact they go, quite literally, nowhere. As such, the Staircases convey denial to an emphatic degree, perhaps even more so than Goode's other works (or the works of his peers). This point was certainly not lost on the critic William Wilson, who, in his review of Goode's exhibition at Pomona College (and of John McCracken's exhibition on view there concurrently), struggles to reconcile the evasive character of the work. Positing both Goode and McCracken in what he calls "Neutrality-style art," the writer acknowledges that the work "makes some observers feel tricked, put on." A similar reticence towards Goode's work can be found in reviews of the artist's Milk Bottle paintings, which John Coplans described as "the loneliest painting imaginable." Philip Leider addressed their "unsettling quality," or more specifically, their "intrusive moral overtone which set them apart from the inscrutably noncommittal presentations of his fellows."

While the food was good and definitley within budget the service was lacking, and the decor is pretty bad.
Posted by Mike on 06/11/2008
Yes, its one of those places that has hanging ducks in the window and generic looking hole in the wall chinese food exterior, but don't judge a book by its cover. This place is cheap and the food is of good quality. I ordered the duck and noodle soup for only $4 bucks! as my meal and was satisfied. They gave me enough duck to fill up the bowl and a heaping portion of noodles. I would def. recommend this place to anyone on a budget, or even if your just in the sea of eateries that is China town.

When my friends and I get hungry at 2am, we usually trek over to Chinatown for these great dishes. It's cheap, open late, and an unhealthy treat. The soups are amazing, but we always have to get an order of fried steak while we're there. The service is not very interactive, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, but rather a sign that these guys are doing the simple task of bringing you your food in what we consider to be a professional, "you guys are clearly here because you want giant quantities of salty meat and not a conversation" kind of way. Highly recommended, my favorite of Chinatown.
Posted by Coffee Man on 12/09/2007
I've been going to this place for years. Very bustling and open until late like 4-5 AM, so it's a great late night spot too. Any of the meat over rice is tasty. The noodle soup with fish is delicious too. Make sure to ask for some of their legendary ginger scallion sauce.
Posted by Ernest M. Skinner on 12/03/2007
If you are a medical professional, have a heart condition, or are on a restricted diet, you cannot ever eat here. Sodium levels are quite literally lethal. That having been said, it's tasty, plentiful, always fresh. I've always had good, friendly service here -- one just has to connect with the staff. Soups are particularly good, but inedible for anybody who for health reasons must avoid salt. The shredded chicken with snow pea shoots is particularly fine, and they are known for their salt-baked seafood, although I have never ordered it for health reasons. Other dishes can be ordered with minimized salt, but the soups, however tasty, cannot. Great value and convenient, and makes no pretenses toward gourmetness.

I know my chinese food (dad was a chef, fiancee's dad was head chef at a chinese restaurant) and NY NOODLETOWN's food is simply great, cheap, and delicious! They make simple humble dishes delicious and their more expensive dishes (seafood) are actually very good too.

Wind: 3 mph
By Rob Williams
Here's a solution that offers "maximum participation with maximum conversation."
As a Waitsfield citizen, parent and school board member for more than a decade now, I am writing in support of preserving our annual Vermont Town Meeting Day as the best venue for decision-making about our town's annual spending decisions. Winter petitions circulated throughout the Mad River Valley urging residents to support a new absentee ballot measure from the Town Meeting floor this March 4.
If passed through a voice vote on March 4, this proposed measure would allow residents unable to attend Town Meeting – local "sun bird" retirees wintering in warmer climes, for example – the opportunity to vote on the annual budget without actually attending Town Meeting. I am not unsympathetic to arguments made by supporters of the absentee ballot, and I'd like to thank fellow Valley-ite Deri Meier, in particular, for thoughtfully bringing them to our collective attention.
The argument in favor of absentee balloting boils down to this – absentee balloting allows more residents to vote. My question is, will absentee voters truly understand what's at stake when they cast their ballot from afar? In other words, should quantity of participation (more voters) trump quantity of participation (an informed understanding by voters of the annual budgeting process and what is at stake)?
After extended conversation with many Valley residents on all sides of this issue, I am convinced that absentee balloting will effectively kill our cherished annual Town Meeting tradition here in Vermont – the one day each year when we gather together as citizens, neighbors and taxpaying residents to debate, discuss and deliberate on the issues facing our town. As school boards, we rely on our annual Town Meeting to publicly explain our budgetary decision-making to the town voters in a community forum that offers time for questions, comments, reflection and discussion. Absentee balloting would suck the life from this vital annual conversation. Instead of absentee balloting, I'd like to propose another solution.
Some context. This year is a particularly difficult budget year for public education in the state of Vermont. Since September 2013, our Waitsfield School Board has worked tirelessly with our Washington West Supervisory Union (WWSU) colleagues to craft a school budget that offers the best possible education for the highest number of our students for the fewest possible dollars – in the face of a byzantine and complicated statewide funding mechanism, flattening property values (meaning our property taxes must go up in the current funding model) and declining financial support for public education from the Vermont Legislature and Governor Shumlin via the General Fund. (Several years ago, we property taxpayers funded 61 percent of the school budget. Today, we are paying closer to 70 percent.) We are urging our state's elected officials to take action to re-invent the public school funding mechanism, even as we have worked to streamline costs at both the town and supervisory union level these past several years. At the national level, citizen cynicism with the federal government seems to have reached new heights, and my fear is that our local residents will simply vote on our local school budget without taking the time to educate themselves about the realities of our current fiscal situation at both the local and state level (see above). In short, the need for public discussion about how we spend our resources has never been more pressing – and absentee balloting, while making voting more convenient for some, erodes the importance of this public conversation at a time when we need it the most.
Here's a solution that may offer the best of both worlds – maximum participation with maximum conversation. I propose that we move our annual Town Meeting Day to a Sunday afternoon in May – this would make it more possible for working residents, "sun bird" retirees, the elderly and others who are challenged by the current "first Tuesday in March" schedule to attend. Let's begin the meeting at noon and go to 5 p.m. with a 30-minute break from 2:30 to 3 p.m. for snacks and socializing. At 5 p.m., let's host a community chicken pot pie supper and a bonfire at Waitsfield United Church. Let's offer child care for our children during our meeting – they can play out on our school playground, supervised by our high school students trained in babysitting and first aid through our local schools. In this way, we can continue to foster the vitality of the Vermont Town Meeting tradition. As fiscal pressures increase at the state and national level, our need for local community discussion and debate will increase, as well – let's not take away the vitality of our Town Meeting democracy at a moment when we need it the most. Instead, let's do what Vermonters do best – adapt Town Meeting Day by making it more inclusive and vibrant for this new century. See you at Town Meeting!

Backers of the stadium plan talk excitedly about how the team is "guaranteeing" to invest $300 million in the Village, backed by stiff penalties, in an effort to save downtown. In the actual deal, however, all that's saved are the hides of the owners -- thanks to their slick lawyers -- because the team could escape all obligations by building a lousy parking garage.
The fine print on a sale of the team is just as deceitful. For public consumption, the Cardinals are graciously offering to share as much as 12 to 15 percent of the proceeds with public partners. That's the headline material. Oh, but by the way, that's after team owners pocket the first $288 million of the proceeds.
This is nothing more than a giant con game, the largest ever perpetrated on Missouri taxpayers. The Cardinals have been lying through their teeth since the very beginning, all the way back to 1997, when they innocently approached the Legislature with a request that a sports authority be created to "study" the stadium situation.
At the time, Cards owners expressly stated that Busch Stadium would be viable for 15 years or more. But we have to plan ahead on these things, they said, so let's set up an innocuous little commission to figure things out.
The team's idea was well received. A brief controversy came up when a few skeptical legislators wanted to force the authority to take its recommendations to the public. The Cardinals fiercely -- and successfully -- fought that idea.
Now we know why.
The Cardinal owners have never claimed -- or been asked to claim -- that they could not easily afford to build a new stadium themselves, just as the San Francisco Giants did with stunning success.
Not once.
Not once.
If capitalism broke out in Missouri -- or even common sense -- the stadium deal wouldn't have gotten into legislative committees, much less out of them. There's not one penny of benefit here to taxpayers that wouldn't be realized if the team, denied corporate welfare, had to build the stadium itself.
But what if the sky should fall? What if the team moved to Illinois and took all that revenue? What would poor downtown do?
The short answer: It isn't happening.
As reported in this column last week, Illinois legislators have no interest in throwing hundreds of millions at the Cardinals. Faced with their own budget crisis, bloodied by their own battles over Soldier Field and Comiskey Park in Chicago, the last thing Illinois politicians want is another stadium saga.
If this is such a fine idea for Illinois, why are those politicians standing limply by while Missouri gets an uncontested run at the prize plum known as the Cardinals? Answer: It would be as much a political nightmare on the east side of the river as it is in Missouri.
Without the Illinois card, the Cardinals have no leverage. Without leverage, their ransom demands are empty. Missouri can easily call the bullies' bluff.
Then, one of three things will happen. One, the team could continue playing at beloved Busch Stadium, which will be viable for decades to come. Second, they might build that new stadium themselves, almost certainly in their best market area -- downtown.
Finally, they might sell the team in a huff, which would be fine. It's hard to imagine we'd get less responsible corporate citizens than these economic terrorists.
That, Missouri taxpayers can take to the bank.

GOP Candidates Advertise In Advance Of June 1 Primary
By KRWG News
New Mexico – Candidates for governor in New Mexico are flooding the television airwaves with advertising as early voting nears in the June primary election.
But the campaigns also are using online videos to attract supporters and show a lighter side of the candidates from changing tires to cooking.
In a five-way race for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, candidates look for a way to set themselves apart.
Campaigns traditionally turn to TV ads to deliver their message to voters. That's expensive. The Internet gives candidates more options, and campaigns are posting videos on their web sites and YouTube.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Doug Turner changes a flat tire during a wintery campaign trip in one video. Republican Allen Weh has campaign videos showing off his cooking skills.

Facing elimination Tuesday in Vancouver, the San Jose Sharks need all hands on deck for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup playoffs' Western Conference finals. That includes Joe Thornton, their captain and top-line center.
Questions on his availability arose after Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks in Game 4, when Thornton disappeared after a shoulder-on-shoulder hit by Raffi Torres.
Meeting with reporters on Monday, Sharks coach Todd McLellan settled the issue -- for now.
"Expect Jumbo to play tomorrow," McLellan said. "When Joe Thornton comes to you and tells you he's playing, he's playing."

Thornton didn't return to the game and didn't speak with media afterwards. However, he did answer a text message from a San Jose Mercury News scribe who inquired about his shoulder.
"100 percent," Thornton texted. "It's playoffs, got to play through everything."
Thornton's message hits the nail on the head -- a captain can't skip out with his team's playoff fate on the line. He must set an example for his teammates.
"He's one of the best players in the world," Logan Couture told the San Francisco Chronicle. "And knowing Joe, he'll be back out there."
Thornton's departure was significant in that he misses so little action. Ten minutes out of Game 4 is a chunk compared to NHL stats that show he missed five games in the past five regular seasons.
Torres also smashed Sharks defenseman Douglas Murray earlier in Game 4 -- and got a charging minor in the process. His teammates know Torres is the team's designated hitter as a forechecker and appreciate his work.
"Raffi's done that play a lot, and it's an effective play," Kevin Bieksa told the Vancouver Sun, referring to the hit on Murray, "and I think if you keep it clean and you stay away from the guy's head ... on first glance, it looked like he just came down, laid shoulder to shoulder. Murray got up, he was fine, but the referee wanted to make a call. That's fine, we'll kill those off any day."
Kill them they did -- Torres's minor against Murray was one of five penalties the Canucks warded of in the first period Sunday. That was a huge part of their success, because the Canucks scored three times in the second period -- on with two-man advantages.

As I'm sure many of you have probably realized I am completely obsessed with The Good Mad. And, much to my excitement, they keep coming out with songs I love.

Hi Plebian, You are correct about the way Winn Dixie rings up their items, but you actually can use 2 coupons on a Buy 1, Get 1 free at Winn Dixie. Even though the 2nd item rings up free the store will still be reimbursed by the manufacturer so they're actually making more than if you just bought it without coupons:)
With that said..I have had a cashier at Winn Dixie tell me that I couldn't do it for the reason you've mentioned. The manager let them know that it was ok and they rang it up with no problems. If that happens again I suggest politely asking them to check with the manager. Here's a post I wrote about using coupons at Winn Dixie.
Let me know if you have any questions:)
Hey guys sorry about that...This post is from 2009 so that coupon's not available anymore.
Yep! This deal was good on May 10th when I posted it, but unfortunately is a dead deal now as the Target & Walgreens ads only run for a week then on to the next ad.
Keep checking back for the latest deals!
You're Welcome! I'm glad they had some left:)
Hey Christie,
These are on sale at Wags this week for $1.25. This coupon makes them $.25/each!!
emw77 -- That sounds like a fun valentine's day!! I'm sure your guys will love the cake:)
pianomama00 -- You're very welcome!! I really appreciate all of you too:)
280 -- You're welcome, I hope you enjoy your meal wherever you decide to go:)
elm2009 -- Thanks for the tip!! I added it to the post.
foureverr29 & llwatts -- Thank you!
You did awesome! That's a great price for the Mott's even without a coupon! My kid's love that stuff.
Hmm, yeah I just checked it out & both Huntsville and Tuscaloosa are blacked out. Wonder why?
Thanks for pointing that out:) It's for books a million.
Hi bran, There is one in Mobile on Airport Blvd & one in Hoover across from the Galleria(near Toys R Us).
Thanks for letting me know. I've been out of town & unable to fix it. I think it's ok now. Please let me know if it's not!
Staci, I wish you had been able to come. Next year? I'm definitely going to Di a write up of all I learn:)
It was found in Publix stores recently. I haven't seen any for a while. BUT>>> you can still get the coupons to do this deal on ebay:
I've done ok with it. I got 2 $5.00 Amazon Gift cards before Christmas. I've heard of others doing much better than that, but you have to really work at it. Well, not that it's much work, but I always forget & use my google search. Some say they have actually used swagbucks to fund their Christmas!!
One more thing good to know is that you can only get a certain number of gift cards per month(i think 4, but not certain) so don't save the swagbucks up with intentions of cashing out big all at once. Once you get the gift card codes then you can hang on to them:)
Sounds like a trip to Dunkin Donuts should be in the future:) Thanks for the great reviews!!
Swagbucks is great!! Be sure to check your toolbar messages. Every now & then they put a free swagcode in there.
Excellent Advice Angie!! The Thrifty Mama & Money Saving Mom both post previews of the best CVS Deals on Friday or Saturday before it starts:)
That's a good one Staci:)
Helloooooo to you too! Glad to see you back:)

MARGARET WARNER: Joining me now are two activists who are playing leading roles in planning this weekend's protest. Vandana Shiva is director of the Research Foundation for Science, Technology, and Natural Resource Policy in New Delhi, India; and Juliette Beck is economic rights coordinator for Global Exchange, an international human rights organization based in San Francisco. Welcome to both of you. We just heard one of the protesters say that all you're all gathered here because you're fundamentally dissatisfied with the way the IMF and the World Bank do business. What is wrong with the way they do business?
VANDANA SHIVA: I used to be a physics professor. Twenty years ago I gave up a career in academics to start an independent research institute to help the groups in India fighting against World Bank projects because that is the main reason for the creation of poverty through the destruction of the only resources that people have, which is the natural resources: Their land, their forests, their coasts, their fisheries. And every time the World Bank lends, it's lending for destruction, it's lending for transfer of the assets of the poor. I started working on World Bank projects not because I chose to change the World Bank but because I wanted to support our people.
Your clip does planting on a large scale. Shrimp industry devastating our coastline, all with World Bank funding, chemical agriculture spread across the length and breadth of India creating more deserts. Dams, increasingly super-thermal power plants displacing millions — the forced conversion of our common resources like water into the private property of corporations, or seeds, which farmers have given to the world now being displaced by corporate entry forced on India in 1988 with a World Bank seed loan. The conditionalities of the World Bank are basically conditionalities that make the poor poorer and the constant hype that the World Bank serves the poor is not at all true. If I spent the last two decades of my life supporting local movements, doing ecological research, rather than doing physics research, it is because of the devastation the World Bank is causing.
MARGARET WARNER: Do you agree they're that destructive?
JULIETTE BECK: The track record is clear: The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund the last 50 years have not helped to develop poor countries. They claim to be eliminating poverty, but the gap between the rich and the poor has increased both within countries and between countries all over the world. It's a track record of human misery and tragedy.
MARGARET WARNER: Well, as Jim just mentioned, we had James Wolfensohn and Stanley Fischer, the president of the World Bank and the managing director of the IMF, on last night and, for instance, Stanley Fischer said the IMF actually, he insisted, had a good record of stabilizing economies that were in trouble, for instance in Latin America, and in Asia. Do you disagree with that or do you not like the way they did it?
JULIETTE BECK: Well, when the International Monetary Fund goes into a country and provides a loan or an economic bailout package, they do so with strings attached; the austerity measures the International Monetary Fund imposes on countries have a disproportionate impact on the poor. Farmers, for example, lose their subsidies. Resources are shifted from providing for social services, meeting basic human needs, into debt service. The track record of these austerity measures have been such that people are getting poor. It's not helped to alleviate poverty.
VANDANA SHIVA: And as far as the poor are concerned, these are destabilization measures. Of course, the global financial system is stabilized by continuing to extract the last drop from the poor. But when the poor are eating 12 percent less, as they are India in the last decade because of structural adjustment programs of the World Bank and IMF, there is not much stability in those households.
MARGARET WARNER: Let me bring up really the main point that both Mr. Wolfensohn and Mr. Fischer made, which is that globalization, they both said, is here to stay. It's inevitable. And Mr. Wolfensohn said, for instance, look, the World Bank, we're on the same side. We're trying to alleviate the poverty, some of it caused by the dislocation of globalization. But do you two agree that globalization is inevitable, or do you think it's something that can be curbed or stopped?
VANDANA SHIVA: Well, if it was inevitable, the World Bank and IMF wouldn't have to apply such coercive pressure through structural adjustment, which causes globalization. Globalization is not happening. It's being made to happen through IMF and World Bank conditionalities — and the coercive rules of the World Trade Organization. If it was that natural, they wouldn't have to bully the third world so hard, and they wouldn't have — they wouldn't be forced make the third world pay so much.
MARGARET WARNER: So do you think that, for instance, the third world or the developing economies can stay closed and can just ignore the global economic order that seems to be being built, at least among the developed countries? Let me just get Ms. Beck on that first.
JULIETTE BECK: We are internationalists to the very core. We support an open economy and we support fair trade. Trade actually lifts living standards. A good example is fair trade certified coffee. You mentioned Starbucks. Well, they've just agreed to buy fair trade coffee that's certified, such that farmers producing that coffee are paid living wage, in fact, it will triple their income. It will ensure that the coffee is grown under environmentally sustainable conditions. This is the type of trade that we can support. And it's had to occur through an independent agency, a non-governmental organization, not through the World Bank. The World Bank is not promoting fair trade. They're promoting corporate managed trade.
MARGARET WARNER: What is the alternative to the World Bank and the IMF's role? For example, Ms. Shiva, a spokesman for the World Bank said now fully 25 percent of its projects are spent on health and education and social programs. Who would spend that money without the World Bank or IMF?
VANDANA SHIVA: Well, first the finances that the World Bank is giving for health or education or even water is basically to privatize these sectors and, in fact, take universal rights to water and health and education away from the poor. The privatization is a deprivation. Who would give that money? The countries, if they could stop paying in India the $9 billion we are paying annually for debt servicing, that would go to run our schools. If today our schools don't have enough money, it's because we are paying to make the buildings bigger, the salaries higher, the returns on investments fatter for these two agencies.
MARGARET WARNER: So, in other words, you believe that if, for instance, the debt were eliminated and there is a big movement for debt relief — we did a piece on that earlier this week — and then the international community just stayed away, that India would be essentially able to bring itself out of poverty?
VANDANA SHIVA: I don't think the issue is isolation versus being gobbled up by irresponsible agencies who are primarily global money lenders. The issue is to have international systems of back-up who are responsive, who give on the terms that are necessary. Every time India has needed a tiny loan for a necessary thing — I remember the example in 1984, India needing a drinking water loan and the World Bank said no. We will give you a loan to convert all of your agriculture in Maharash into sugarcane cultivation, destroying your water. But each of those oversteppings, each of those bullying stances, is what we want to get rid of. We need an international backup system, an international system that is not driven by the investors, but driven by the people of the world and their needs.
MARGARET WARNER: What is your answer? What do you think is the alternative to the IMF and the World Bank?
JULIETTE BECK: Other agencies like the UNDP that could possibly be a better job of development of poverty alleviation — the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have succeeded in developing the interests of multinational corporations. In fact, 51 of the largest — 100 of the largest economies in the world are corporations. It's clear that these institutions are about promoting corporate welfare and not about eliminating poverty.
MARGARET WARNER: So as far as you're concerned would you like to eliminate two these two institutions?
VANDANA SHIVA: We'd like to… I would like to eliminate excesses that they have engaged in, dominating the decision-making of third world countries. They need to relate to countries as sovereign powers, they need to relate to people as sovereign people. I think it's that overstepping. The slogan we have for the World Trade Organization is sink or shrink. I think that's the same slogan for the World Bank and IMF. They should shrink.
MARGARET WARNER: We're going to have to sink or shrink. Thank you both very much.
JIM LEHRER: Still to come on the NewsHour tonight, what now for NASA, and Shields and Gigot.
