BMI View: Despite a marginal increase in government funding for infrastructure and an increasingly buoyant outlook for the German economy, o ur view that insufficient capital is being deployed in the construction sector remains in place. We forecast a notable slowdown in the overall German construction industry from the 3. 7 % real growth in 2014, with our prediction of 1 . 95% for 2015. The residential sector, rail infrastructure and renewables projects remain the market's bright spots .
From 2015-2024, the construction industry will average annual real growth of 1.5%. Growth will remain positive unless the major downside risk to our forecasts, a souring of the outlook for the eurozone, materialises. The German economy has performed well over the last few quarters, allowing for the government to increase infrastructure funding. However, this has had little impact on our forecasts, given the marginal amount of extra financing being directed towards the sector, as the government maintains strict budgetary targets.
Key Trends And Developments
The 2015-2018 federal budget has been adopted by the coalition government, which will see spending on transport infrastructure reach EUR11.9bn. Furthermore, the government has approved financing for Deutsche Bahn's EUR28bn spending plan, which will run up to 2019, which will further the rail sector's outperformance. These financing commitments will constitute the bulk of German investment in the transport sector.
Low interest rates have made mortgages affordable and German real estate has been viewed as a safe haven for European investors. As such, there has been significant growth in house prices during 2014 and growth in the sector has been impressive. We expect this to continue in 2015, although growth will settle to a more sustainable level.
It is the renewables sector which will drive growth in the energy and utilities sector, and the industry should experience more sustainable growth as the government has decided to limit subsidies to the first 2.5GW of capacity which are brought online each year - limiting investment and preventing a number of associated problems with bringing on large amounts of renewable generation capacity, such as grid instability.

The Supreme Court is hearing a case today brought by 12 states and a coalition of environmental groups that sued the Bush administration in 2003 for refusing to issue regulations limiting carbon emissions. "On a global scale, forced cutbacks in CO-2 emissions would create an unconscionable setback for developing countries where economic development is just beginning to pull people out of poverty," writes Jay Richards.
Right about now, the Supreme Court of the United States should be hearing the beginning arguments in Massachusetts, et al., v. Environmental Protection Agency, et al. (05-1120). Not much attention has been paid to this case over the last few months, but recently a spate of media attention has arisen, citing this case as perhaps "the most important environmental case in many years," as well as "one of the biggest environmental cases in years." (Jonathan Adler responds to the NYT editorial at The Volokh Conspiracy.)
There are reasons to doubt the hype surrounding this case, however, and not just because of the dubiousness of the scientific "consensus" on climate change.
A spate of amici briefs Atlantic Legal Foundation and the National Council of Churches (PDF), the latter of which argues in part that scientific "uncertainty alone cannot justify inaction. To decide rationally whether climate change may 'endanger public health or welfare,' EPA must consider the harm that would result if the risk of climate change, however uncertain, is realized." As I have argued against similar views elsewhere, such claims bring economic considerations, especially cost/benefit analysis of action vs. inaction, to the fore, which do not necessarily bear out the conclusion that the potential harm necessitates political action.
In fact, the EPA is not citing scientific uncertainty as its sole justification for refraining from regulatory action. One of its main claims is that it lacks the statutory authority to regulate CO2 emissions, and thus a large part of the case hinges on interpretation of certain provisions of the Clean Air Act.
Regarding the complexity of the case, Hugh Hewitt writes that "in one case do we get important issues of standing, legislative intent, deference to administrative agencies and, of course, the debate over global warming."
He concludes, "The argument will be one worth listening to very closely, and the decision when it arrives in the spring will be, I predict, a duel between the justices who take seriously the idea of a Court of limited jurisdiction versus those justices eager for the EPA to get on with the urgent business of grappling with climate change."
In a helpful overview of the case, Lyle Denniston of SCOTUSblog notes a similar concerns of a group of conservative law professors, including Robert H. Bork, that the petitioners' claim is
part of a multi-faceted effort to draw the federal courts into one of the most important and controversial foreign policy and political battles of our time….Petitioners seek to remake U.S. climate change policy through litigation in the federal courts.
Likewise Rivkin and Casey in today's WSJ, who filed an amicus brief in the case, conclude that "if economic growth is to be sacrificed because of global warming fears, the decision should be taken by Congress and the president, the people's elected representatives, and not by the courts."
At its current state, the petitioners' claims were denied in a 2-1 decision by the D.C. Circuit Court, after which the appeal by the petitioners came to the Supreme Court. John Gartner of Wired's Autopia warns, "If the Court sides with the EPA, it will be further proof that the judicial branch of government is out of step with the populace," a claim which, while perhaps true, seems to advocate legislation from the bench.
Despite such rhetoric, the case has two major components, focusing not only on the science of climate change but on the question of the appropriate governmental authority to make policy decisions. Denniston summarizes it this way:
The controversy pursued in the briefs thus focuses heavily on the harms believed to arise from global warming, countered by the claims that the science on climate change is still evolving and uncertain. But equal controversy has arisen over what might be called the separation-of-powers issue: who decides how to attack the perceived problem of climate change?
Because of the multi-faceted nature of the case's arguments, Denniston writes that this decision could end up not setting a major precedent on the politics of climate change: "Before the Court ever reached the 'global warming' problem, it could be stopped by a maze of procedural issues, as well as by a bold challenge to the judiciary's power to take on the problem."
Update: Autopia's John Gartner now says that the court's greenhouse ruling "won't matter," at least in the short-term.
[UPDATE: Goldberg at the Corner invokes a variation on the skepticism theme: "Anti-clericalism was certainly partly driven from the suspicion that priests and other clergy were preaching their versions of the gospel simply to empower themselves. I've long argued that one of the reasons Washington-based reporters are liberal, or statist, is that if the subject they cover is considered hugely important, then they in turn will be considered hugely important." A reader responds with Cui bono.]
University of Colorado's R. Pielke Jr. (hat tip)
If climate scientists ever wonder why they are looked upon with suspicion among some people in society, they need look no further in their willingness to compromise their own intellectual standards in policy debate on the issue of disasters and climate change.
What he's saying is that the scientific method involves both establishing an hypothesis, and making a diligent effort towards disproving that hypothesis to see whether one's original assumptions still hold up.
I'm not sure many of the outstpoken global warming moralists in evangelical circles today get this. That's because people of faith don't normally operate like this.
Other than notables like McDowell who found Christ while trying to disprove him, Christians are geared from children's church onward to absorb and apply church doctrine based on the concerted studies of biblical authorities, or in the case of Scripture, first-hand witnesses inspired by the Holy Spirit. While we might critically analyze biblical truth as it applies to our lives today, we rarely set ourselves toward disproving the Bible itself as a way to establish it's veracity.
There is an important distinction, then, between aggressively promoting environmental stewardship as a God-ordained moral ethic (which it is), and aggressively promoting a particular area of human-derived environmental science as a moral ethic (which it is not).
Being salt and light in the world means making this distinction evidently clear to all.
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world… — 1 John 4:1
[Don's other habitat is The Evangelical Ecologist.]
The UN has been busy updating the Chicken Little fable into a contemporary context. You know the story where the little chick runs around crying, "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!"
In this edition, however, the looming disaster is (predictably) climate change. The news comes courtesy of the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (HT: NewsBusters).
The Gaia motif is perhaps the most revealing part, as in "Tore and the Town on Thin Ice," (PDF) the title character is visited by "Sedna, the Mother of the Sea" who claims to be "the one who created and cares for the sea creatures – whales and walruses, seals and fish."
Sedna is the Inuit goddess of the sea, and apparently the link between environmentalism and paganism is a natural one at the United Nations Environment Programme.
Of course the Christian faith provides a more than adequate basis for true stewardship of the environment, which neither divinizes the creation nor absolutizes human power over the world.
The Lord who "created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind" also made man the "ruler over the works" of his hands, including "the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas."
If it is true that the sea life is suffering, I think it is less a sign of the distress of Sedna than it is something else…the day of the Lord, perhaps? See what some of the prophets have to say about this, particularly Ezekiel and Zephaniah.
But perhaps that story is too scary for the UN. It prefers the Chicken Little myth and the illusion both that human action is the direct cause of and the potential solution for all disasters.
Prior to yesterday's vote, Republicans for Environmental Protection had announced its slate of endorsed candidates for U.S. Congress.
'Each of these candidates is a conservation-minded Republican dedicated to responsible environmental stewardship,' said REP President Martha Marks. 'While our party as a whole is not where it should be when it comes to environmental stewardship, electing this slate of Republican candidates would represent a giant stride toward changing that.'
Thought it might be interesting to see how they did in the election. Did being green garner them any turn-out-the-vote support?
Here's how things shaped up. Incumbents are denoted with an asterisk. Info in [ ]'s is their League of Conservation Voters Environmental Score and whether they featured the environment prominently in their campaign platform based on Google hits and my review of campaign websites. Click the name for their REP endorsement (in .pdf form) if one was available. Other notes are in ( )'s.
In response to Sir Nicholas Stern's cost/benefit analysis of dealing with climate change, Christopher Monckton, former adviser to Margaret Thatcher and journalist, has published an article (a second will be published next week) and what looks like a very long, researched and documented paper [pdf] explaining why the "consensus" regarding global warming is not correct. Here is a summary of his argument:
All ten of the propositions listed below must be proven true if the climate-change "consensus" is to be proven true. The first article considers the first six of the listed propositions and draws the conclusions shown. The second article will consider the remaining four propositions.
- That the debate is over and all credible climate scientists are agreed. False
- That temperature has risen above millennial variability and is exceptional. Very unlikely
- That changes in solar irradiance are an insignificant forcing mechanism. False
- That the last century's increases in temperature are correctly measured. Unlikely
- That greenhouse-gas increase is the main forcing agent of temperature. Not proven
- That temperature will rise far enough to do more harm than good. Very unlikely
- That continuing greenhouse-gas emissions will be very harmful to life. Unlikely
- That proposed carbon-emission limits would make a definite difference. Very unlikely
- That the environmental benefits of remediation will be cost-effective. Very unlikely
- That taking precautions, just in case, would be the responsible course. False
While I tend to disbelieve the general "consensus" that our world is warming at exceptional rates, sea levels will rise twenty feet, and we're all going to die in 50 years because we didn't ratify Kyoto, I do think it's generally good stewardship to try not to pollute and to take responsibility for the pollution that we put into the air, water and land.
Anyhow, read the article, and let us know if you share Monckton's skepticism, or if you are unpersuaded by his analysis.
Following the recent Medico-Legal Society of Ireland's Golden Jubilee Conference in Dublin, the Irish Medical Times provides a timeline of the history of genetics, beginning in 1859 with the publication of Charles Darwin's The Origin of the Species.
Other more recent highlights include the year 2003, in which "scientists at the University of Shanghai successfully fused human cells with rabbit eggs, reportedly the first human-animal chimeras (a mixture of two or more species in one body) created."
Earlier this year, "Irving Weissman, director of Stanford University's Institute of Cancer/Stem Cell Biology and Medicine, helped create the first mouse with an almost completely human immune system. The mouse is used to test drugs to fight AIDS."
Weissman also directs work with mice and neurobiology,"Prof Weissman has also begun injecting human neural stem cells into mouse foetuses, creating mice whose brains are about 1 per cent human." He has also "proposed creating mice whose brains are 100 per cent human."
I have previously examined some of Weissman's work, in conjunction with a survey of a panel of the President's Council on Bioethics, here.
Bjørn Lomborg responds to the Stern Report (discussed here) in today's WSJ, "Stern Review."
For those still interested, the latest installment of the Bill Moyers/Cal Beisner saga is in (for those of you who need refreshing, check out the posts here, here, and here. Moyers summarizes his side of the story with links here, under the section titled "Moyers and Beisner Exchange").
Last week, on Oct. 25, Bill Moyers circulated another letter to Beisner (linked in PDF here). As of Friday, Oct. 27, Beisner said, "Granted that I hope to pursue reconciliation consistent with 1 Corinthians 6, I have chosen not to respond publicly."
However, presumably due to the further communication on behalf of Moyers by his legal counsel (dated Oct. 31 and linked in PDF here), Beisner has given permission to post the following public response:
"First, I didn't lie but wrote honestly from the best of my memory. Second, the conversations on which my memory were based occurred before and after the recorded interview, as I reported in the October 12 issue of the ISA newsletter (before ever hearing from Moyers about the October 9 issue) and were not taped."
About a month ago I posted some responses to the editorial position taken at the Economist. One of their claims was with regard to the Kyoto Protocol and that "European Union countries and Japan will probably hit their targets, even if Canada does not."
At the time I registered skepticism with respect to these estimates. Turns out my skepticism was well-founded.
From Wired News:
Between 1990 and 2004, emissions of all industrialized countries decreased by 3.3 percent, mostly because of a 36.8 percent decrease in the former Soviet bloc, the U.N. reported. Since 2000, however, those "economies in transition" have increased emissions by 4.1 percent.
Well, I've examined the decreased emissions in Russia before, which has been due in large part not to any government action but by the extensive contraction of the Russian manufacturing sector. The decrease in carbon emissions came at a huge economic cost, all of which was incidental and unrelated to the ratification of Kyoto.
More from Wired,
Of the 41 industrialized nations, 34 increased emissions between 2000 and 2004, the U.N. reported…. Among countries bound by Kyoto, Germany's emissions dropped 17 percent between 1990 and 2004, Britain's by 14 percent and France's by almost 1 percent, the U.N. reported. But Kyoto signatories such as Japan, Italy and Spain have registered emissions increases since 1990.
Looks like Russia might have some buyers for those carbon credits after all.

According to WebMD, a pregnancy in the fallopian tubes is referred to as an ectopic pregnancy and the most common signs of the condition are vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain. The pain typically begins on one side and can be more severe upon moving or straining. Additional symptoms are similar to normal pregnancy symptoms and include nausea, tender breasts and fatigue.Know More
The Mayo Clinic explains that in certain individuals, early ectopic pregnancies don't cause any signs or symptoms. Ectopic pregnancies can also cause blood to leak into the fallopian tubes. Signs of blood leakage include pain in the shoulder and an urge to defecate. Symptoms of a ruptured fallopian tube include abdominal bleeding, dizziness and shock.
MedlinePlus explains that an ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg in a pregnant woman becomes blocked when traveling to the uterus. Risk factors for ectopic pregnancy include scarring of the female organs, previous ectopic pregnancies, birth defects in the fallopian tubes and endometriosis. Ectopic pregnancies typically occur in one of the fallopian tubes, but they can also develop in the ovaries, cervix or abdomen. It's important for women experiencing symptoms of ectopic pregnancy to seek immediate medical assistance, as the condition can be life-threatening. Treatments for ectopic pregnancy include blood transfusions, oxygen therapy, surgery and medication.Learn more about Pregnancy

President offers prayers at Tirupati
Hyderabad: President Pratibha Patil and her husband Devisingh Shekhawat on Thursday offered prayers at the famous Tirumala temple near Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh, on the occasion of their 46th wedding anniversary.
Amid chanting of Vedic hymns, the couple was blessed by a group of senior temple priests, who also performed special rituals on the occasion. Several other family members of the President were present, according to officials of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD), which manages the temple affairs.
Andhra Pradesh Governor ESL Narasimhan, Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy and Tirupati legislator and actor K Chiranjeevi, who has merged his Praja Rajyam Party with the Congress, were also present.
The President had reached Tirupati Wednesday evening after a five-day stay in Hyderabad as part of her southern sojourn.
After an overnight stay, she along with her family, went around the temple, had a `darshan` of Lord Venkateshawara and participated in various rituals.
Later in the day, Patil will inaugurate Annadanam or free meal complex at the temple.
Built by TTD at a cost of Rs 33 crore, the complex will serve free food to 75,000 to 100,000 pilgrims a day.

Brieon Paige was in on six blocks in the Rams' win over Nova KBM Thursday night

Final Stats
FORT COLLINS, Colo.—The Colorado State women's volleyball team came back from losing the first set (29-27) and won the next three, beating Nova KBM, Slovenia's top national team, Thursday night at Moby Arena. The exhibition match against CSU marked Nova KBM's eighth match played in the United States. The Rams are only the second team to have beaten them.
Nova KBM played tough against the Rams, keeping the first three sets close (27-29, 26-24, 25-23). But, in the fourth game the Rams widened the gap, closing out the match, 25-15. Service errors had a large impact on siding out. CSU had nine service errors for the whole match, while Nova KBM had a whopping 15.
Head coach Tom Hilbert hoped his team would have had to work harder for their sideouts.
"A lot of times when people start passing better, the opposite servers sort of get tentative," Hilbert said. "They didn't. They got more aggressive. Really, in Game 4 it was too easy for us to side out because of missed serves, and that's kind of a shame because I would like for our team to be pushed a little bit more."
Blocking played a big role in the win. The Rams ended the match with 16.5 total team blocks to Nova KBM's total of two team blocks. Senior Katelyn Steffan led the Rams with three solo blocks, along with two block assists. Middle blockers Megan Plourde and Brieon Paige were in on six blocks, along with setter Deedra Foss, who was in on four.
Steffan was happy with the team's blocking.
"I think that a lot of times when one of us gets a block, it feels better than getting a kill," Steffan said. "Just knowing that you're shutting one of their big players down, it's just a good feeling."
With it being an exhibition match, and having a consistent lead in the fourth set, Hilbert was able to use some reserve players and try out different rotations.
"I really liked what Marlee Reynolds did today," he said. "She came in and got a nice kill from the left side and a big block. These young kids that are starting to get in are getting more and more valuable time. It was a good win for us. Although it doesn't count on the record, it still was a good win because I think that is a good team and they push you, and we need to be pushed."
The second day of the Rams Volleyball Classic, hosted by CSU, continues Friday with the Rams hosting the Wichita State Shockers at 7 p.m. The tournament will conclude with three matches on Saturday, capped by CSU's "Orange Out" vs. Northern Colorado, at 7 p.m.

My Mother Talks to Treesby Doris Gove
Laura is walking home from school with her mother. Much to Laura's dismay, her mom insists on stopping at trees along the way and speaking to them as if they were her friends. First Laura hopes no one will notice. Then she stands close to the trees, hoping passersby will think her mother is talking to her. As her mother greets each tree, mentioning its unique features, Laura grudgingly begins to take note, and slowly her curiosity overcomes her embarrassment. By the time they're almost home, Laura has made the acquaintance of many special trees in her neighborhood and has come to recognize each one's distinctive features. In the end, she has been infected by her mother's contagious enthusiasm for nature and she begins to develop her own relationship to the natural world. Doris Gove's charming tale will inspire budding young naturalists to get to know the trees in their own neighborhoods. General, easy-to-remember information in the story teaches children how to identify eleven common trees, including the dogwood, tulip poplar, maple and pine. A glossary at the back of the book provides more details.
My Mother's Keeper: A Daughter's Memoir of Growing Up in the Shadow of Schizophreniaby Tara Elgin Holley Joe Holley
Dawn Elgin was destined to be a 1940s big-band star. From the time she was fourteen, she took her place at the microphone in Houston's elite Empire Room and sang with the voice of a jazz angel. Vibrant and glamorous, she boldly pursued her love of performing to New Orleans, Hollywood, and New York, where she gave birth to her daughter, Tara, when she was twenty-one. Then Dawn began to suffer persistent visions of a deathly specter at her bedside. She was diagnosed with acute paranoid schizophrenia and began a lifetime spent in and out of institutions. My Mother's Keeper is Tara's deeply moving story of growing up in the shadow of her mother's tragic illness. As Dawn's state worsened, Tara lived in the care of her imperious great-great-aunt Elsa - the family's elderly matriarch, who drew her into a rich world of old-fashioned treasures and Houston history - while her mother drifted in and out of Tara's life like a fading fairy princess. Though Tara yearned for her mother during her childhood, Dawn's condition was usually kept from her, the subject of secretive family discussion and neighborhood gossip. By the time Tara was seventeen she had become Dawn's guardian, bent on rescuing the shambling street person her mother had become and transforming her back into the beautiful, lively woman she remembered. Above all, it is a deeply moving exploration of the mother-daughter bond - of how Tara learned to balance her mother's needs with her own, and how she finally came to terms with Dawn's legacy when she became a mother herself. Emotionally compelling and powerfully rendered, My Mother's Keeper offers indelible proof of love's power to transcend a devastating illness.

My Mysterious Sonby Dick Russell
What does a father do when hope is gone that his only son can ever lead anything close to a "normal" life? That's the question that haunted Dick Russell in the fall of 2011, when his son, Franklin, was thirty-two. At the age of seventeen, Franklin had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. For years he spent time in and out of various hospitals, and even went through periods of adamantly denying that Dick was actually his father.A mixed-race child, Franklin was handsome, intelligent, and sensitive until his mental illness suddenly took control. After spending the ensuing years trying to build some semblance of a normal father-son relationship, Dick was invited with his son, out of the blue, to witness the annual wildlife migration on Africa's Serengeti Plain. Seizing this potential opportunity to repair the damage that both had struggled with, after going through two perilous nights together in Tanzania, ultimately the two-week trip changed both of their lives.Desperately seeking an alternative to the medical model's medication regimen, the author introduces Franklin to a West African shaman in Jamaica. Dick discovers Franklin's psychic capabilities behind the seemingly delusional thought patterns, as well as his artistic talents. Theirs becomes an ancestral quest, the journey finally taking them to the sacred lands of New Mexico and an indigenous healer. For those who understand the pain of mental illness as well the bond between a parent and a child, My Mysterious Son shares the intimate and beautiful story of a father who will do everything in his power to repair his relationship with a young man damaged by mental illness.

My Name Is Jody Williams: A Vermont Girl′s Winding Path to the Nobel Peace Prizeby Eve Ensler Jody Williams
As Eve Ensler says in her inspired foreword to this book, "Jody Williams is many things--a simple girl from Vermont, a sister of a disabled brother, a loving wife, an intense character full of fury and mischief, a great strategist, an excellent organizer, a brave and relentless advocate, and a Nobel Peace Prize winner. But to me Jody Williams is, first and foremost, an activist." From her modest beginnings to becoming the tenth woman--and third American woman--to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, Jody Williams takes the reader through the ups and downs of her tumultuous and remarkable life. In a voice that is at once candid, straightforward, and intimate, Williams describes her Catholic roots, her first step on a long road to standing up to bullies with the defense of her deaf brother Stephen, her transformation from good girl to college hippie at the University of Vermont, and her protest of the war in Vietnam. She relates how, in 1981, she began her lifelong dedication to global activism as she battled to stop the U.S.-backed war in El Salvador. Throughout the memoir, Williams underlines her belief that an "average woman"--through perseverance, courage and imagination--can make something extraordinary happen. She tells how, when asked if she'd start a campaign to ban and clear anti-personnel mines, she took up the challenge, and the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) was born. Her engrossing account of the genesis and evolution of the campaign, culminating in 1997 with the Nobel Peace Prize, vividly demonstrates how one woman's commitment to freedom, self-determination, and human rights can have a profound impact on people all over the globe.

My Notorious Lifeby Kate Manning
This sweeping, evocative, and absolutely unforgettable novel about the charismatic and passionate Axie Muldoon who changed the lives of countless women was inspired by a real midwife who became one of the most controversial figures in Victorian New York City.Set in gritty New York City in the last half of the nineteenth century, My Notorious Life is a vibrant portrait of Axie Muldoon, a plucky orphan who becomes one of the most successful--and controversial--midwives of her time. Told in a magnetic voice, pulsing and vivid, Axie recounts how she is separated from her mother and siblings, apprenticed to a doctor and midwife, and how she later parlays the sale of a few bottles of "lunar tonic for female complaints" into a thriving midwifery practice with her husband and fellow orphan friend, Charles G. Jones. But Axie is on a collision course with one of the most zealous, censorious characters of her era: Anthony Comstock, founder of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, and it will take all of Axie's power to outwit him and save both herself and her family from ruin. A love story, a family saga, and a brilliant rendering of a historical time, this is also a moving and nuanced commentary on an important topic: women's control of their bodies. But ultimately, it is the story of one woman making her indomitable way in a difficult world; with her fierce and vibrant spirit, Axie Muldoon is an indelible heroine for the ages.
My Olympic Dreamby Katie Taylor
Ireland's Katie Taylor blew into London 2012 like a summer wind to claim the first lightweight Olympic gold medal in women's boxing when she beat Russia's Sofya Ochigava in the final at the Excel Arena in August. One of the original campaigners to have women included in the Olympic boxing schedule, Taylor, along with her father and coach, Pete, has won everything the sport has to offer. Her triumph was a historical first in her weight division and fittingly book-ended what has been a stellar career to date. The counterpoint of Taylor's grace and poise outside the ring and her wrecking-ball ability inside the ropes has drawn global attention and has placed her in the position of being the poster girl for the sport. In My Olympic Dream, she explains what it was that encouraged her to take up the sport in the first place and reveals her delight at finally being able to box in the world's biggest sporting occasion. She tells of her enormous pride at being chosen to be Ireland's flag-bearer in the opening ceremony, and of her emotions as she closed in on gold. With fascinating insights into life behind the scenes as she prepared for the Olympics and during the Games themselves, accompanied by many brilliant photographs throughout, Taylor's own story is as remarkable, honest and inspirational as the woman herself. A nation celebrated with her when she won gold, now in this book she shares that experience with all those who cheered her on. Katie Taylor was born in 1986 and is a native of Bray, County Wicklow. A sporting all-rounder, she has won 15 caps for Ireland at football. But it is in boxing that she has recorded her greatest sporting achievements. She has won five consecutive European Championship titles, four consecutive World Championship titles and has twice been voted the best female boxer on the planet by the governing body of the sport, the AIBA. Sky Sports chose her to be one of the faces of their coverage of the Games.

This jam is special. Sweet white peaches, earthy rosemary, and just a hint of spice from the cracked pepper, the combination is delightful. I serve it with cheese such as brie or chevre. It is a definite crowd pleaser and an excellent hostess or holiday gift.
This recipe makes 5 half- pints.
3 pounds white peaches (you can use yellow, but I prefer the white varieties for this jam)
1/3 cup lemon juice
3 cups sugar
4 large sprigs rosemary
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
Step 1:
Peel and pit the peaches. (Very ripe peaches are very easy to peel with a knife. If your peaches do not peel easily, they are probably not ripe enough. If you must make the jam without allowing them to ripen further, you can boil them for one minute, then plunge into cold water to loosen the skin.)
Slice the peaches into 1/2 inch slices. Place peaches in a large bowl, add lemon juice, sugar, rosemary, and pepper. Cover and let stand for 4 hours. Stir every hour to incorporate the sugar.

Weight: 8 lb 6 oz way off here...11 lb 1 oz!
