The Taoiseach: I propose to take Questions Nos. 1 to 6, inclusive, together.
On foot of an invitation from Professor Klaus Schwab, I travelled to Davos, Switzerland to attend the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, WEF, from 25 to 27 January. The forum was attended by political and business leaders and heads of international organisations from across the globe. I participated in a series of discussions that focused on current economic, structural and political challenges and how they might be addressed in a more proactive and integrated manner. These issues were reflected in the overall theme of the forum — The Great Transformation: Shaping New Models.
On Wednesday evening, I attended a function hosted by Professor Schwab, executive chairman of the forum, and also attended by other Heads of Government and the business council of the WEF. The forum organises a series of formal interactive sessions for the participants. On Thursday afternoon, I participated as a panellist in a plenary interactive session, entitled "Rebuilding Europe", along with Prime Minister Katainen of Finland, President Komorowski of Poland and Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt. This session, moderated by Mr. Lionel Barber, editor of the Financial Times, focused on the future of Europe and principally on measures to address financial instability within the eurozone area. The following day, I participated in a private discussion session on the prevailing global themes for 2012, including the fallout from the Arab spring revolutions of 2011, turbulence in the Middle East, global financial issues and employment, job creation and social stability.
[30]While I was at the forum, I had a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt of Denmark and later with Prime Minister Katainen of Finland. We discussed the current situation in the eurozone and progress in the negotiations towards the new intergovernmental treaty. I explained the issues that remained of particular importance to Ireland, including in respect of our bank-related debt. We discussed the growth agenda and I stressed the need to focus on growth and jobs. I briefed the Prime Ministers on the successful outcome of Ireland's recent EU-IMF quarterly review. I congratulated Prime Minister Thorning-Schmidt on her Government's successful start to the Danish Presidency of the European Union and I said that I looked forward to working with her and her Government over the next five months. I also updated both Prime Ministers on Ireland's current chairmanship of the OSCE.
On Thursday evening, I addressed a dinner organised by IDA Ireland and attended by senior executives of major international companies. I took the opportunity to convey the message that, as a result of the necessary economic adjustments we had made, Ireland was significantly more competitive as a location for doing business. I noted, for example, that the World Bank rated Ireland as providing the most supportive business environment in the euro area in 2011, while the IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook awarded us three firsts for 2011 — for corporate tax regime, business legislation for foreign investors and the availability of skilled labour. I conveyed the same positive messages about Ireland in a series of bilateral meetings with chief executives and other leaders of major multinational firms over the course of my time at the forum. The IDA event and these bilateral events were very useful opportunities for me to convey strong messages about the attraction of Ireland as a location for foreign investment, research and development and export-oriented operations.
The World Economic Forum provides an exceptional opportunity to interact with key opinion formers in the business world and I made every effort to take full advantage of it. I also met with President Martelly of Haiti at his request. He was on his way to Ireland for a private visit after the forum. I expressed our continued solidarity with the people of Haiti following the devastating earthquake of 2010 and noted the assistance that had been given by Ireland and the international community towards the recovery programme.
Deputy Micheál Martin: I thank the Taoiseach for his reply. He has been attending Davos for years and speaking at similar high-level events. It was the first time that a Taoiseach made comments that reverberated significantly and somewhat negatively at home. The main theme of the Taoiseach's public comments was that Ireland was doing better because of the 2011 budget against which he voted. That was fair enough. However, the main news at home was his unguarded comments regarding the Irish people. His press people were industrious afterwards in trying to clean up after his comments, but the bottom line is that he claimed it was the fault of people who had gone mad with greed. No doubt he will have prepared significant remarks. There has been an attempt to spin the issue with the usual political attacks, but let us put all of that aside for a moment. Does the Taoiseach accept that he might have gone too far in his comments? If he does not withdraw them, he must accept that he made one statement in his pre-budget television speech and stated the exact opposite in the Swiss mountains.
The Taoiseach: It was actually my first time to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos. I found the whole thing very interesting in the sense that it was a gathering of quite influential world leaders in business and politics. Those who have been attending it for quite a number of years may know of the opportunities that exist for meetings on a one-to-one basis, of which I had a number.
[31]When I spoke at the panel discussion with the President of Poland, the Prime Minister of Denmark and the Prime Minister of Finland, I set in context what had happened to our country. It was not so much that the words used were associated with greed. I made the point that the amount of reckless lending that had gone on and the sort of system that applied — the more one loaned, the more one got in terms of remuneration and compensation — led to a point where the situation transformed into one in which property prices and lending policy became reckless. The result was that, when the bottom fell out of it, it devastated many people.
I would not say that it was the people from the Government who were very active here. There were some people on the Deputy's own side who were equally active. In that sense, I set out for an international audience the background to the situation that applied in this country in so far as the property bubble and property collapse were concerned. From this point of view, it was important to set that in context.
Ireland was always a model for other countries in terms of the judicious use of European funding and how to grow an economy. Obviously, that element of our economy was being driven by taxes from the property market. When that collapsed, it caused and is causing serious distress for a number of people because of the banking situation and the mortgage distress in which they find themselves.
Deputy Micheál Martin: May I ask a supplementary question?
An Ceann Comhairle: I will revert to the Deputy.
Deputy Joe Higgins: I read the Taoiseach's Davos comments very carefully. Does he agree that he should apologise to the Irish people? It was not an awkwardly phrased sentence that meant something else. He stated that people simply went mad borrowing and the extent of personal wealth created on credit was done between people and the banks, a system that spawned greed to the point where it went out of control. Does he accept that no one could have interpreted these comments as doing anything other than applying to a substantial number of people and that they were made in an indiscriminate fashion? Does he not accept that he should at least clarify, if not apologise, to the suffering people of this country for heaping that insult on them on top of what they are undergoing as a result of the crash?
Does the Taoiseach not realise that, even more recklessly, for him to use words like those is to give justification to the European political establishment to insist that the Irish people pay tens of billions of euro to cover the bad gambling debts of European and other bankers? The Taoiseach gave the impression that the people were the ones who went mad and, therefore, it was moral that they should pay. Does he not understand how reckless these remarks were? Why did the Taoiseach not use the opportunity in front of the world's media to tell the truth?
The first debate at the World Economic Forum asked whether 20th century capitalism is failing 21st century society. The Taoiseach attended the forum alongside billionaire speculators from Goldman Sachs and the rest of the people whose greed over 20 years of unrestrained profiteering and speculation in the financial markets caused the global financial collapse. Why did he not use the opportunity to attack that system and those individuals for their responsibility for a crisis that has caused endless suffering around the world, and even more so in our country? Does he agree that he lost a great opportunity?
The Taoiseach: No, I do not. I made my point already. Perhaps the Deputy does not move out of Dublin as often as he should because if he did so he would be aware that thousands of people came home from work in the evening to find letters from their banks approving loans of €10,000, €15,000 or €50,000 and asking them to come in and collect the money. Perhaps he [32]is not aware of people who bought not one or two but 10 or 12 apartments over their mobile telephones at the height of the rush of property acquisitions. Perhaps he is not aware of the consequences in terms of ghost estates and other symbols around the country.
I understand that the Deputy is speaking from his own narrow focus but I used the limited time available to me to speak with at least seven or eight chief executive officers of international businesses, some whose companies are located here and others who have since decided to propose further investments in this country or are considering investing. This is a matter of jobs, confidence, hope and opportunities for the future. I used these face-to-face meetings to express the view that the Government is making serious decisions in the interest of the country. What we offer as a package in terms of tax, technology, talent and track record is second to none. Evidence of this can be found in the continuous stream of decisions to invest in this country, including one last week relating to a firm that employs 1,400 people in the Deputy's constituency. That is what we need for the future and it is where the future lies. This is why it was important to speak directly to these individuals when I had an opportunity to express confidence in the facilities and packages that Ireland offers in respect of investments from which jobs can be attracted and developed.
I could not meet everybody who was in Davos because it was attended by several thousand people from all over the world, but I met a significant number of influential individuals, both politicians and business people. These business people include some who were happy with the investments they have made in Ireland and who continue to espouse that cause strongly and publicly in the world's media, and others who are considering serious and substantial investments in our country. I am sure the Deputy supports that work and will also support the investment and jobs that result from it. Although I had not previously visited Davos, I realised there are strong reasons for taking the opportunity to meet face to face with serious investors and serious players.
Deputy Gerry Adams: I hope the Opposition will be third time lucky in giving the Taoiseach an opportunity to clarify his remarks and set the record straight. I regularly travel out of Dublin. I will visit Castlebar next Friday morning to launch a defending rural Ireland campaign. If the Taoiseach is available he will be welcome to listen——
The Taoiseach: Where are you launching that?
Deputy Gerry Adams: I do not know the exact venue but I will send the details to the Taoiseach.
The Taoiseach: Does the Deputy not know Castlebar?
Deputy Gerry Adams: I know Castlebar well but not the particular venue. I understand it will not be a big venue.
The Taoiseach stated that people went mad borrowing in a system that spawned greed, went out of control and led to the crash. The people were at fault. He and I recognise that there were people who bought a number of apartments but the people who were most offended by his remarks are those who borrowed money to buy a home. They did not go mad. They borrowed not out of greed but to provide a home for their families. Many of them were cajoled to borrow large sums of money to buy homes during boom times. The prices of these homes had been driven through the roof because the policies of successive governments encouraged property speculation. The only reason I raise this issue is because the Taoiseach said in his state of the State address that the people were not at fault.
[33]The Taoiseach: That is correct.
Deputy Gerry Adams: In Davos he said that people went mad borrowing. I do not want to be provocative but the Taoiseach should acknowledge that the people did not cause this crisis. He knows that and he has said as much on numerous occasions. All of us say things that are inappropriate or do not properly summarise our thoughts at any given moment. We all have slips of the tongue. My concern is that the Taoiseach's failure to clarify his remarks means that he meant them. This may be an insight into his belief that the Irish people, or at least the people of this State, had a collective burst of madness and were fickle and gullible. It was not the gombeen men and the greedy bankers and developers who were at fault, it was the ordinary people for being so immature. I respectfully ask the Taoiseach to set the record straight by making it clear that he does not believe ordinary people caused this crisis.
The Taoiseach: I certainly do not, and I said clearly in my state of the nation address that the people were not responsible. The people were the victims. I never said that all of the people went mad borrowing. I made the point against the background of explaining matters to an international audience. When I see the letters that were sent to students to offer large overdrafts or the incentives given to persuade people to take out loans on their houses to spend €100,000 on furniture, €50,000 to tarmacadam the drive and another €50,000 for the BMW, I am reminded that people were the victims of an incentivised scheme which spawned a sense of greed among those in higher echelons. The more they lent, the more they got. The implications of that are still being felt by responsible people in the banking system, who are also the victims of public retribution because of the sins of others and the policies that were in place. Deputy Adams quoted me accurately on this occasion.
Deputy Gerry Adams: I always do.
The Taoiseach: I stand over what I said in my state of the nation address in terms of the people not being responsible. Many people became victims of an incentivised scheme where they were seduced into borrowing easy money on the assumption that it could all be paid back. The difficulties in repaying the money were created when the bottom fell out of the construction industry because the economy was being driven by a Government that relied on taxes coming from property. That was unsustainable and now we know. This Government has had to make the decisions that will rectify that situation and I am glad to say the country is headed in the right direction.
I met the CEO of Citibank's operations in Europe, the chief executive of Liberty Global, the chief operating officer of Facebook, the chief executive officer of the New York Stock Exchange, the chief executive of the EMC corporation, the chief executive of Adobe Systems and the chief executive of Medtronic among a number of other serious business people. These companies employ thousands of people in Ireland and the satisfaction they get from the talent and productivity of their workforce, as well as the reputation of each individual workforce as part of the country's brand, is very high. A number of those and others consider investing in Ireland. At the IDA Ireland function I attended there were half a dozen or a dozen people who had no association with Ireland but are now being followed up with in respect of what we offer in terms of talent and a package in regard to tax, technology and a track record. I hope that brings about job opportunities for young people in a range of areas in the future. Please God it will.
Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett: The Constitution has today forced the Taoiseach and his Government to hold a referendum on the brutal austerity agenda that it and our EU-IMF overlords have been inflicting on the people. That has happened despite the Taoiseach's——
[34]An Ceann Comhairle: We are discussing the World Economic Forum.
Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett: These are directly connected.
Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett: I will explain if the Ceann Comhairle gives me a chance.
The Taoiseach: The record is stuck.
Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett: That has happened despite his best efforts behind the backs of the people to avoid a referendum. The question relating to Davos is whether the stock in trade of the Government is being two-faced and duplicitous when it comes to saying one thing to the people here and saying quite different things when talking to the high and mighty in Davos or in the European Union. On the one hand the Taoiseach told the people here he did not blame them and that they were not responsible for the economic crisis. Then he told people in Davos — in many cases precisely the people who helped cause the economic crisis and were guilty of all the greed he mentioned — that people went mad borrowing. He did not say that some people went mad borrowing. He did not say that a few super-rich people went mad borrowing. He did not say that the cronies of Fianna Fáil went mad borrowing.
An Ceann Comhairle: Can we have the Deputy's supplementary question?
Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett: He said that people went mad borrowing. Is there not a consistency in the Taoiseach's behaviour which is that he says one thing to people abroad and a different thing to people here, whether it is on trying to avoid a referendum on the austerity treaty or on whom to put the blame for the current economic crisis? Was it not a treacherous thing to say given that on that particular day an all-party delegation, including members of the Taoiseach's party, the Labour Party, the Fianna Fáil Party and Independents, made the case to the Bundestag finance committee that ordinary people in this country were not responsible for the economic crisis and that there should be debt relief? On that very same day the Taoiseach made a statement to this——
An Ceann Comhairle: We are on Question Time.
Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett: ——gang in Davos blaming ordinary people, fundamentally undermining our case to get a write-down on the debt that has been unloaded on the backs of ordinary people because of the gambling and speculating of international financial institutions and bankers in this country.
The Taoiseach: That cuts no ice here. Some of these international audiences are not aware of the history of the historic party of Fianna Fáil. It was important to explain the context in which this property collapse took place. If the Deputy reads his English, he will notice I did not say "all of the people" were responsible. In fact in my state of the nation address I said that the people were not responsible. I have pointed out to Deputies Martin and Adams how the incentivised scheme in banking regimes fired out money left, right and centre without it even being requested. Of course the Deputy does not want to accept that. On the panel discussions in which he has participated he has failed pathetically to explain what he is on about except that he keeps coming up with the recurring words of "austerity", "hardship", "overlord" and others.
Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett: That is what ordinary people are feeling.
[35]The Taoiseach: Perhaps he should travel out from his lair in Dún Laoghaire and go to meet the people.
Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett: I have been doing that.
The Taoiseach: He would find that the pragmatism of the people is very clear.
Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett: They are not too happy in the Taoiseach's neck of the woods.
The Taoiseach: They know how these problems were caused and know what it takes to sort them out and are prepared to do that. If Deputy Boyd Barrett were speaking to any of those serious businesspeople considering investing in our country, I wonder what he would say to them. Would he say "Take up your bed and walk"? That seems to be what he seems to say here consistently. I cannot recall him making one constructive suggestion about employment in his constituency or in any other constituency.
Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett: Public works programmes, as I have said many times.
The Taoiseach: He should be very careful of that.
An Ceann Comhairle: We have spent 26 minutes on the subject of Davos. It is up to the Deputies if they want to continue. There are other questions to be answered. I call Deputy Martin if he has a genuine supplementary question — no statements.
Deputy Micheál Martin: I have a supplementary question which I signalled. I acknowledge that Davos represents a very important networking event. I had the privilege of attending it and I know that some of the events there broaden the mind and broaden the horizons if one is prepared to be open and listen to what people have to say. It is a good networking event with people who can create many jobs in the country.
There is a big debate globally on whether capitalism is in crisis and whether the financial model that has governed in recent decades is in crisis. The Financial Times has been running a series for some time on the topic. There was considerable debate at Davos on the big issues. The origins of this crisis, which has been called the great recession, are much more profound than people sometimes care to admit in the domestic political arena for obvious political reasons. Mistakes were made here and I have acknowledged those and so on. However, the fundamentals of the crisis go back some time, particularly to the establishment of the euro and the flawed nature of the euro design. There were also the events after 11 September 2001 in the US and what the Federal Reserve did. Essentially in the developed economies across the world cheap money became available, which fuelled bubbles across Europe.
At Davos, with the exception of Chancellor Merkel and a handful of other European leaders, everybody agreed that Europe had not adequately addressed the economic crisis and particularly the eurozone crisis. That was the general consensus external to Europe and in many European areas as well. Economists, journalists, business executives and world leaders at Davos all said that the core flaws in the eurozone have not been addressed and there is a great threat to the international economy as a result.
An Ceann Comhairle: Could we have a supplementary question?
Deputy Micheál Martin: Does the Taoiseach accept that such a consensus emerged from the discussions at Davos? If he listened to those, are they reflected in any of the Government's policies, particularly in the context of the fiscal treaty?
[36]The Taoiseach: I was not able to attend many of those discussions which took place in break-out rooms. I participated in a panel discussion about the European issue with the Prime Minister of Finland and a representative of the Polish Presidency. I attended a lunch where people were allocated indiscriminate tables where there was a discussion on the issues of the Middle East, including north Africa, Iran and Iraq, the global perspective on the emergence of new economies in the Far East, South Africa and Brazil, and the implications for other countries. The rest of the time was taken up with face-to-face meetings with individuals. I did not have an opportunity to sit in as a member of the group in those general discussions that took place in particular rooms.
It is perfectly clear in what the Deputy says that the financial crisis had its roots in the millions of sub-prime mortgages in the United States, the application of light-touch regulation and how rating agencies allocated a number of these financial instruments and continued to allocate them very high star ratings and then it collapsed. As the Deputy is aware, billions of dollars worth of those found their way into the European system and the domino effect played its part here. The conclusions of Davos for me were certainly in the context of the connections it was possible for Ireland to make. I genuinely believe that a range of those people look at our country now in a different way than they did previously. They see the results and they know that a solid start has been made although there is a long way to go. It was important that I had the opportunity as Taoiseach to talk to some of those people face to face. I am unsure whether I will be invited back again. I made the point to the professor that I found the exercise very interesting and fruitful. This has grown over 20 years from a small gathering in the beginning until it exploded into something of a world forum. Following the Global Irish Economic Forum last October there is a suggestion that Ireland should host a Davos-type conference for those involved in creativity in the theatre, acting and so on in 2014. This could have implications for the good of the country as well. That is where it was. I did not have the chance to sit in at the general discussions, except for the panel discussion and the discussion in respect of the world economic situation, which I was happy to participate in and outline our view at as a member of the eurozone.

Studying for the LSAT / Re: How Much Did You Improve From Your Baseline Score« on: December 07, 2009, 09:25:01 AM »
I started at a 145 and my test day score was a 169.
Studying for the LSAT / Re: I have 2 years to study...« on: December 07, 2009, 09:13:54 AM »
Personally, I would forget about the LSAT for the next 1.66 years. 4 months or so is all you need to study and improve substantially. People who want to start studying years in advance, and gear their reading habits and even college major towards the LSAT, because they've heard so much about how hard and important the test is, imo are misguided. I improved 24 points in a period of about 3 months taking a total of 15 practice tests. If you're scoring 85% on each section, even if you're taking extra time, 4 months will be more than enough.

How retarded is it that the LSAC website does not properly explain what the Common Information Form is? Am I correct that the CIF does not get transmitted to the law schools?
Where should I go next fall? / Re: Realistic Chances« on: December 03, 2009, 01:49:40 PM »
Honestly, I wouldn't start making your list until the LSAT is in the bag. People often end up 10 points below their practice average.
Don't listen to this. Sometimes, reading this forum will just get you feeling paranoid and negative. Plenty of people score right in line with their practice tests. 10 points is a ridiculous drop.
Studying for the LSAT / Re: What's a realistic target score?« on: November 22, 2009, 10:03:28 AM »
Asking what your "target" score should be for the LSAT is kind of irrelevant, because all you can do is the best you can do.
Studying for the LSAT / Re: Not feeling ready for December... what to do? :(« on: November 22, 2009, 09:59:57 AM »
Don't listen to Julie...she's a weirdo. During my prep I had one instance where I dropped just about that much, but in subsequent tests I improved again. It's hard to explain the fluctuation that occurs during prep, but it definitely does occur. My advice is to keep with it for the next two weeks. You can only do what you can do.
Studying for the LSAT / Re: Pre-Law Student Picking an Undergraduate Major-Pertain to LSAT« on: November 16, 2009, 06:14:52 PM »
I still say that gearing your college courses towards the LSAT in any respect is not a good idea, and that you should take courses based on where your intellectual interests lie. Your preparation for the LSAT is going to be focused in the months before you take the test, and that's all you need really.
Law School Applications / Re: What LSAT Do I need for T14?« on: November 14, 2009, 01:32:27 PM »
No lol, but it's too high to be the minimum score the OP needs to have a good shot at a T14 school.

Bali Restaurant
Garuda images assist in making a casual atmosphere, along wiith Indonesian puppets, masks, and dolls. For those unfamiliar with cuisine from Indonesia, it will be easy to recognize many of the dishes on the extensive menu as many are very similar to Thai dishes.
A great way to get familiar with this style cuisine is to order the Rijstaffel. It is a bowl of yellow rice accommpanied by 7 dishes. Adlthough they can vary at times, the selections generally include traditional choices, such as: soup, rendang curry, satay, and gado gado ( vegetables with peanut sauce). Some other great choices for starters include the Oxtail Soup or the Fried Potato and Chicken Patties. The Nasi Goreng (or Indonesian fried rice) is a good choice to accompany most dishes.
Chicken dishes include; Rendang Ayam - chicken cooked with spices in coconut milk or the Ayam Goreng Berek - marinated fried chicken. Beef aficionados will enjoy Rendang Daging - beef cooked in coconut milk with spices or the Daging Belado - fried beef with chilli. Everybody should try at least one dish of seafood or fish with the meal and some great choices whether you share or eat them your self, include; Ikan Pepes - marinated roasted fish wrapped in banana leaf, the Ikan Saos Acar - the Indonesian -style sweet and sour fish. Seafood lovers will come back again for the Udang Belado - fried shrimp with chilli sauce or the Udang Kalio - prawns cooked in coconut milk with spices. For those wanting a curry selection - Gule Nangka is a mild yellow curry made with chunks of jackfruit. There are also three choices of noodles and about 8 vegetable selections but now we have come to the end of our meal and it is time for dessert, if you have room, of course. Dessert includes a choice of Young Coconut Pudding, Indonesian Layer Cake, Banana Fritter, or the Bali Fruit Salad with Sherbet …many good choices.
As in most restaurants that cater to a large number of Moslem clientele, the choice of wine is quite limited, yet there is an Australian house red and white. Beer is available and a fairly good choice with this type of cuisine. Waitstaff seem to stumble a bit but the manager is on top of things and is knowledgeable and efficient.

NCAA Indoor: Klech PRs in 60 hurdles
Welcome to the second day of the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships at Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.
The Duck men were shut out on the first day of the meet.
UO senior David Klech, competing in the second indoor heptathlon of his career, got off to a great start in the 60-meter hurdles today with a lifetime best of 7.88 seconds. His effort moved him from ninth to fifth in the overall standings with 4,195 points.
His mark stands fourth on the all-time UO list.
The next event is the pole vault, which Klech is still learning. His PR is 12-7 1/2.
Kansas State's Mantas Silkauskas continues to lead the heptathlon with 4,380 points.
Curtis Anderson covered UO track and field for The Register-Guard from 1990-96, and again since 2005. He covered the 2012 Olympic Games in London, in addition to the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials in New Orleans (1992), Atlanta (1996) and Hayward Field (2008 and 2012). He is the winner of the Jesse Abramson Award, presented by the Track & Field Writers of America for excellence in coverage in 2008.

Toll Is Quiet
January 21, 2014
Nicole Gelinas
At a hearing on the state-run Metropolitan Transportation Authoritys capital-investment program, state representatives seemed to care about getting better transit service for their constituents. But what happens next? In the coming year Gov. Andrew Cuomo and lawmakers must figure out how to pay.
The Assemblys committee on public authorities held a forum Jan. 10 to consider a problem: The MTA has a multibillion dollar shortfall in its next $3032 billion five-year capital program. The five-year plan starts next year, 2015, as the current $26 billion program expires.
Though people think of new projects, such as the $4.5 billion Second Avenue Subway, as dominating the capital plan, 70 percent of capital spending goes to replacing or upgrading old subway cars, signals, tracks and other infrastructure, and buying new buses.
The plan may be long-term, but the shortfall starts
As Bob Foran, the MTAs chief financial officer, explained, the MTA borrowed money ($11 billion) for the current capital program. By 2017, three years away, the MTAs annual debt costs for past capital spending will reach $2.8 bil-lion: 16 percent of its budget. Thats half a billion dollars more than the MTA spends now. But the MTA faces a $200 million deficit by 2017. And this deficit doesnt take into account new borrowing for the next capital plan.
But wait! Isnt the MTA raising fares and tolls next year, by 4 percent? Yes, but that money is accounted for in the budget.
There is no way around it: The MTA cannot borrow more unless it finds new income to pay the new debt, and cuts costs.
Lawmakers at the January hearing offered few clues about what they would do. On cost cutting, Foran warned that giving retroactive wages to its union workerson a contract that has now been expired for two yearswould cost the MTA $538 million this year.
Despite Foran sounding the alarm that costs once considered "uncontrollable," such as healthcare, pensions and handicapped-access transit, now make up half of the budget and are growing five times faster than the other half, lawmakers did not seem perturbed.
At the same time they remained inscrutable about possibilities for generating additional revenues, even when a promising potential source of cash was floated by "Gridlock" Sam Schwartz, a Koch-era traffic commissioner.
The director of Schwartzs Move NY plan, Alex Matthiessen, told lawmakers how it would work. Albany would vote to levy car and truck tolls on entry points into Manhattan where auto drivers have the alternate choice of taking mass transit. Manhattan cab riders and car owners too would pay a new fee for the congestion they cause. Some of the money would lower bridge tolls where residents dont have good transit, including the Verrazano and Cross Bay bridges. $400 million would go to keeping up the citys roads, and $1.1 billion would be spent on transit.
Rather than weigh in on the plan, however, lawmakers preferred to talk about the need for better transit in their districts.
Assemblyman Phillip Goldfeder, of the Rockaways, joked that the MTA was able to repair the A train so quickly after Superstorm Sandy because "it is the only thing weve got."
Nily Rozic, who represents eastern Queens, noted that her district has no subway stops. "Tak[ing] a bus to a train station
or [to] the LIRR [is] the only way to get to work in the morning or anywhere else."
Nor did Goldfeder want particularly cheap infrastructure. He opined that he doesnt trust buses, because "if we put [them] in place
tomorrow, it could be gone. Youre not gonna bulldoze rail."
Rozic likes busesbut she wants a lot of them.
So New York has lawmakers with expensive tastes who are closemouthed about how to pay for them. At least silence is better than the alternative: grandstanding against tolling free bridges, something we heard last time around in 2008, when then Mayor Michael Bloomberg tried to get a less comprehensive plan passed. (Neither Rozic nor Goldfeder held office then.)
This time?
"I dont necessarily have a position on that yet," said Goldfeder of the plan.
Rozic kept her thoughts to herself.
Nothing in Albany is, well, something.

Team of the Year award for Norfolk hospital's theatre staff
The NNUH emergency theatre team has just won a major national competition, organised by the Association for Perioperative Practice, sponsored by Molnlycke Health Care, and will receive a prize of £20,000 for educational purposes for the theatre team to share.
The award came for a project that involved the team developing an in-house electronic booking scheme for emergency patients that replaced the previous paper-based system. The old handwritten theatre lists carried risks associated with legibility and patient confidentiality.
So consultant anaesthetist Dr David Wilson-Nunn with help from IT web manager David Chapman, and theatre clinical leader Zbys Kaznowski, developed an electronic booking system that was introduced in February. The programme runs on the hospital Intranet, and clinical theatre staff are able to access the system from any hospital computer to book patients and see the current status of the theatre list.
Dr Wilson-Nunn said: "Not only have we improved patient safety, but the system has proved invaluable in acting as a communication tool. We are now able to tell from a quick glance at the system which patients have been assessed by anaesthetists, which ones require further investigation and made handovers much more efficient."
The system has also recently been enhanced for the orthopaedic trauma theatre team who now use a "point-and-click" system so surgeons can categorise fractures according to an international classification system. The system can take the user to an internet resource with information about management of particular fractures.
The NNUH team will be presented with their award at the forthcoming annual AfPP congress in Harrogate on 10th and 11th October.

NEW TOOL: 10,000 Prospects + Contacts in <20m? For $0.12?
Yes. You can now run huge Instant Prospector reports for less than $0.12 per report on our highest level plan.
It's only $0.19 per report on our new service level at $47/mo.
We also upgraded free accounts to get 25 Instant Prospector reports. This can easily get you over 100,000 or 200,000 customized link prospects, prioritized, with contact information. For free.
Yep. It's all FancyPants McGee up in here 'n stuff.
Read on...
Major Instant Prospector Update
The biggest update is to the Instant Prospector, which now exports 37 data points per link prospect we find for you, including seven different bits of contact information (email addresses, Twitter accounts, etc). The Instant Prospector has been around for a bit, but with these upgrades, it's essentially a new link building (and content marketing) tool.
This extra data lets you find the most valuable prospects more quickly, gives you immediate access to contact information (no more scraping or hunting around as another step in your process), and also shows you which prospects already link to your competitors (both how many competitors are linked to, and which ones).
Here is some sample data from three random reports we put together during testing. This includes gathering all 37 other data points per prospect. Once you get this list, there's nothing left to do except to review the prospects.
- Link Types: Financial Blogs
- Link Prospects Found: 9,243
- Time to Create Report: 17m 11s
- Content Research: Climbing Gear Advice
- Link Prospects Found: 5,150
- Time to Create Report: 14m 30s
- Link Types: Travel Guest Posts
- Link Prospects Found: 7,829
- Time to Create Report: 17m 45s
You can see that these reports collect a ton of link prospects, link prospect data (including contact information), and we do it for you really quickly.
You could get over 25,000 prospects, with contact information, etc, just while you eat your lunch each day...
Visit the new home page to learn more →
Content Marketing Research
You might have noticed above that the "Climbing Gear Advice" report was labeled as "Content Research" and not "Link Types." If so, good eye.
We've now added the ability (we may also be the first and only?) to help with research for your content marketing efforts. Like the common "Link Types," we've now added more than 20 "Content Research Types" within Ontolo.
A few examples of the types of things you can research:
- Communities
- Events
- News
- Process & How-To
- Tips
So for the next "Tips and Advice" compilation you're making, head over to the Instant Prospector and choose the "Tips" Footprint Template from the Content Research dropdown. In a short bit, you'll have a list of "Tips" content about your topic, prioritized and with contact information.
Why is contact information important when you're researching for writing content? Because those same folks who have written about similar content to you...they just might also want to link to you.
Visit the new home page to learn more →
New & Updated Service Levels
By popular demand, we've introduced a new, lower-priced service level at $47/mo. For this price, you can run 250 Instant Prospector reports each month. That's only $0.19 per report with 37 data points per prospect, including tons of contact information.
All other service levels have also been upgraded.
Visit Ontolo to learn about each service level →
Free Accounts Upgrade
Free Ontolo accounts now get 25 free Instant Prospector reports, with no limitations on data, etc. They're the real deal. Hunerd percent, fer realz.
Meanwhile, you still get to use the Competitor Link Metrics reports and SERP Dominator, which are both updated each week.
Visit the new home page to learn more →
Updated Help Documentation
We've updated all of our Help Documentation and moved it from Zendesk to Ontolo. It's pretty snazzy. Check it out.
Visit the new Help Documentation →
New Website Design
We've updated the entire Ontolo website. You might find some neat stuff in there you didn't know about before. Go ahead. Poke around. You won't break anything. But if you do...you break it, you buy it.
Putting this together was a ton of work over the past few months. But when Andy and I sat down to try and put together the best, fastest, and most-thorough customizable link prospecting tool on the market, we decided it would take as much time and effort as it would take.
In the end, we're really happy to have put this together for you and look forward to seeing what you can do with it. Especially the Community Templates! But you'll have to head to the website to learn more about those. ;-)
One final note: Putting this together allowed us to put some infrastructure in place that will help us with our next major Ontolo project coming out in the next couple of months. I can't say what it is right now, but I can say that we hope to help make the marriage official between Content Marketing and Link Building.
Until next time,
Ben & Andy

Eminem's 30 Biggest Songs
By Erika Ramirez and Brad Wete
Eminem's birthday is today (Oct. 17), and to celebrate the midwestern rapper who rose to the national stage a decade and a half ago, we're taking a look at Em's 30 biggest hits on the Billboard Hot 100. He may go by a handful of names -- Eminem, Marshall Mathers, Slim Shady -- but the Detroit rapper/producer/actor has never shied away from being himself, and only himself, sharing his trials and tribulations in his music with fans since stepping up to the mic in his teens. Along the road to 2010's "Recovery," he's earned six Billboard 200 No. 1s, four Hot 100 No. 1s, countless of awards, and respect from just about everyone in hip-hop. Help us wish Eminem a happy birthday by checking out the ranking of his hugest hits below. Use the comments section to share which track is your favorite.
This ranking of Eminem's 30 Biggest Billboard Hits is based on actual performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100 chart through the tally dated October 26, 2013. Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least. To ensure equitable representation of the biggest hits from each era, certain time frames were weighted to account for the difference between turnover rates from those years.
30. "Ass Like That" - Eminem
Hot 100 Peak Position: 60 (2005)
Who's not familiar with Em's comical side? The rapper's sense of humor has both amused and annoyed listeners. A key example is "Ass Like That," wherein Slim Shady lists -- in a less than respectful manner -- a few femme artists who's derrieres he's fond of, including Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears and Janet Jackson.
29. "Beautiful" - Eminem
Hot 100 Peak Position: 17 (2009)
Considering the tribulations Eminem was going through at the time (including divorce and addiction), punchlines weren't exactly what fans expected to hear on "Relapse." On the third and final "Relapse" single, Em shows his very troubled thoughts going on "behind the tears of a clown.
28. "The Way I Am" - Eminem
Hot 100 Peak Position: 58 (2000)
The second "The Marshall Matthers LP" single is one of Eminem's most honest, menacing tracks he's recorded. On "The Way I Am," he teeters from rapping to yelling about the haunting pressures that he faces from fans to label executives.
27. "That's All She Wrote" - T.I. feat. Eminem
Hot 100 Peak Position: 18 (2010)
Em and Tip share a connection that goes beyond respect for each other's artistry. Both artists have supported each other throughout their careers and personal struggles. "That's All She Wrote," came four years after their first collaborative track, "Touchdown," off T.I.'s "T.I. vs T.I.P."
26. "You Don't Know" - Eminem feat. 50 Cent, Cashis, Lloyd Banks
Hot 100 Peak Position: 12 (2006)
Em's first single off Shady Records compilation "Eminem Presents: The Re-Up" went straight to the Hot 100 top 15. In celebration of the Shady Records camaraderie, the video for the single included cameos by Tony Yayo, The Alchmesit, Young Buck, D12, Bobby Creekwater, Obie Trice, Mobb Deep, Trick Trick, Dr. Dre and Stat Quo.
25. "My Name Is" - Eminem
Hot 100 Peak Position: 36 (1999)
From his debut single, "My Name Is," Eminem came out the gate spitting witty, brutally honest rhymes and the video pulled together tough-but-funny visuals to match.
24. "Stan" - Eminem feat. Dido
Hot 100 Peak Position: 51 (2000)
Although it didn't reach as high on the Hot 100 as some of Eminem's other tracks, "Stan" is certainly one of his most influential songs. Em' intricately tells of himself through a disturbing story of an obsessed fan. Not only a milestone in Em's discography, "Stan" was given new life when he performed the song alongside Elton John during the 2001 Grammys.
23. "Like Toy Soldiers" - Eminem
Hot 100 Peak Position: 24 (2005)
Eminem rarely held back on rhyming about harsh realities. On the "Encore" single, he chronicles the feuds he and his camp, including 50, had taken on through out their careers and the devastating outcomes. Unfortunately, Proof, who plays Bugz, the man shot and killed in the video, was also shot and killed one year after the video debuted.
22. "Drop The World" - Lil Wayne feat. Eminem
Hot 100 Peak Position: 18 (2010)
Thanks to gravitas of Eminem's presence and Weezy's ominous chorus, "Drop the World," produced by Hit-Boy and Chase N. Cashe, is one of "Rebirth's" brightest songs.
21. "Encore" - Eminem featuring Dr. Dre
Hot 100 Peak Position: 25 (2005)
The "Encore" title track is another peek into the camaraderie between Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent, oh, and attempt to hype fans for the long-in-the-works arrival of Dre's "Detox." "And don't worry about that Detox album/ It's comin', we gonna make Dre do it," Em closes the track.

AP.net Staff Feature: Bands To Watch on Warped 2012
In conjunction with today's Thursday Discussion about summer songs, the AP.net Staff has assembled a feature of 26 bands we think you should check out on this year's Warped Tour. The tour kicks off this week in Salt Lake City and will snake around North America for about two months, so whichever date you go to, check out some of the bands we've listed below if you're unsure of who to watch! Take to the replies to discuss who you're excited to watch this year and how you think this year's lineup compares to recent Warped Tours.
I'm gonna be on the whole tour this year. I'll be catching ETID every day.
This list seriously should shut up all the annoying "Warped sucks now" people. If you can't find 5+ bands this year that you like, then you're probably hanging out on the wrong website anyway
Trick question. I'd be awesome to see IATA though. Streetlight killed it at the last Warped I went to as well
I'd go to this one.
Mod Sun is not anything anyone should watch ever.
I'm going to sit through 8 hours of being in the sun just to watch every time I die play for 30 minutes. Its going to be worth it
why is mod sun on this list
There's enough bands this year to justify going to 2 dates. I'm stoked to see:
All Time Low
Taking Back Sunday
Pierce The Veil
New Found Glory
Sleeping With Sirens (full set and acoustic)
Mayday Parade
A Loss For Words (full set and acoustic)
Transit (full set and acoustic)
I Fight Dragons
Man Overboard
We Are The In Crowd
Tonight Alive
Plus more that are possibilities.
Love how old etid jams were refered to as "classic dick rippers" haha
Keith would approve!
I don't think anyone can complain about the line up this year. Its such a diverse lineup that everyone should be happy
I would definitely go to two dates this year if I could. Hell, I could spend a pretty good part of the day at the acoustic tent alone.
Psyched to see Yellowcard for the third time. I totally agree that Longineu has to be seen to be believed. The dude's an animal on drums.

Lone Survivor Review – The war movie we deserved
Having read the best-selling book and followed film development closely, I was ecstatic to attend an early release and bring you this Lone Survivor review:
Lone Survivor is a visceral and compelling film of friendship, devastating loss, and survival.
Skillfully directed by Peter Berg (Battleship, Friday Night Lights), it is the portrayal of failed Operation Redwing, through the eyes of Petty Officer Marcus Luttrell (a convincing Mark Wahlberg). One of the darkest chapters in US Navy SEAL's history, Luttrell originally recounted his personal experience in his gripping best-seller Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10. As a member of a four man SEAL team, Luttrell is sent into the mountains of Afghanistan and tasked with capturing or killing a known al Qaeda leader. Given the title, it is no spoiler to say that the mission doesn't go as planned, to devastating results.
Do not expect to see a war movie that glorifies the might of American military, nor one that is particularly patriotic or political in nature. This is Afghanistan in the middle of war, with a clever and dangerous Taliban. It is an arena of complex rules, players, and tenuous relationships, which is portrayed with truth throughout the film. The people and the effects of combat are Berg's subject of interest here, not the politics.
Opening with some actual footage of SEAL training, we're immediately given the background information that these men and women are trained to handle traumatic and tortuous experiences. This information is necessary later when one wonders how these guys could keep going in such hellish circumstances.
Berg brings an up-close realism to the film's presentation. Much like the opening of Saving Private Ryan, the viewer cannot escape the gruesome nature and physical brutality of battle. There is no holding back, as each injury recounted in the book is brought to life on screen with arduous accuracy. This is a refreshing (if incredibly difficult to view) truth to the gruesome nature and horror of war. The sights and sounds won't keep you on the edge of your seat, but rather sinking into it, perhaps hoping for a break or some small physical comedy to make you feel better.
There are some unique editing tricks of changing to first person POV, which as a device works well alongside use of subtle slow-motion highlights for each sustained injury to fully immerse the viewer in the combat experience. However, overuse of first person POV becomes distracting as the eye adjust from the difference in visual quality.
The quality of performances by Wahlberg and his three team companions Tayler Kitsch, Emile Hirsch and Ben Foster, is excellent. They've given everything they have to the physical job of portraying SEALs, their boot camp training apparent in their movements and mannerisms. But their engaging performances also give honor to the doomed men they play, with compelling character arcs from joking brothers in arms, to shattered heroes. The haunting honesty of their last moments will stay with viewers long after the credits stop rolling.
Wahlberg, in particular, has given everything of himself to this role, which is strikingly apparent. In his 40's now, Wahlberg can't quite pull off the 20-something soldier next to his cast mates, seeming a bit too mature and out of place in scenes that establish the camaraderie of the SEAL team. He's more suited to playing Eric Bana's role as mission field commander. However, pushing aside the nit-picking about his age, Wahlberg's performance is commendable – gritty, determined, destroyed and vulnerable. He bears witness to this horrific tragedy and then places himself with endearing vulnerability in the hands of local villagers that come to his rescue.
Ali Suliman is excellent as village leader Mohammad Gulab, the true hero of this film, which left me wishing for more time on screen for him and his dialogue with Wahlberg. However, Berg has taken some license with history to speed along the pacing of the film and the end doesn't play out the same as the real events in the book.
Lone Survivor, without getting too deep, engages in discussion about humanity within war. Issues such as decency, leniency, and a moment where they stop to debate the rules of engagement, bring forth the complexity of negotiating hostile territory. This is a look at the people inside a war, often scared and trying to survive, while attempting to protect those they care about. It is a brutal, psychological and physical action thriller.
Full release in North American theaters is scheduled for January 10, 2014.

I like the system. It's a great way to keep players and modders in touch. Keep up the good work.
With the impending collapse of the Citadel, two members of the Resistance are tasked with evacuating any citizens remaining. Little do they know that their mission sees them gaining critical information that puts the early fate of White Forest in their hands.
A distribution system created for modders, and content creators alike.
Posted by MrtwovideoCards on Jun 20th, 2009
City17, along with Altered Transmission will be the first mods to ultilize the Maxsi Distribution system. The distribution system works in many ways, similar to Steam, but designed for the modding community, and content delivery for custom content creators.
One of the major points about this installer, is it allows you to automaticaly update any content you wish have updated. All the end user has to do is just re-run the installer they already downloaded!
Stats also help power your decision on what kinds of advertising works good for your content, and how the rate of downloads go over time. (These are stats from another map system test. Not City17)
This info can also be used later, to help you find out if players are crashing. Amongst the other things, are Feedback, Download number information, and screenshots. All of which to help you further in releasing your content, and too see what players think of it. The system itself hasn't been finalised, and many, many more features will be added throughout it's history up to it's first release.
We've already released something earlier on the system. You can check it out in action here.
I like the system. It's a great way to keep players and modders in touch. Keep up the good work.
This limited to Source Engine mods?
At the moment, I can't really say.
No. It's not really limited to anything. It could even support software, if that was the case, but it is designed for gaming.
Oh that is nice.
That's a pretty genius idea mate, inspired me I tell ya :P
Hm, I had a similar idea 1 or 2 years ago but never actually made it -.-
Is it open or for your stuff exclusively?
Sounds pretty interesting :)
Very nice...
Interesting, I hope more mods take this up. Will be interested in how this plays out.
That and just map packs and such for games like L4D and Portal.
Nice work.. like the extra work added to a mod that isn't a texture, simple code change or model.. top notch...

Drop the "gay" from gay weddings
As every news outlet mentioned, today marked the first day of legally recognized gay weddings in the US. But if blogger Andrew Sullivan gets his wish, the "gay" part of that phrase will be banished from common parlance. On today's show, Sullivan drew parallels with Brown V Board of Education in explaining its significance. Though it's a first for the US, three years have passed since the Netherlands became the first country to legalize it. It's interesting to see the difference in gay marriage laws throughout the world.
On the show, Sullivan also reiterated his second thoughts about the war in Iraq, saying he "went in with his eyes wide shut" to some extent.

Christ Crowned with Thorns
1606; black chalk and gray wash heightened with white on green-blue prepared paper, incised for transfer and laid down
163 x 132 (6 7/16 x 5 3/16)
The Duke of Devonshire and the Chatsworth Settlement Trustees
table of contents | images
The contrast between three faces, two of cruelty, one of grace, is at the heart of this small composition, the supreme technical perfection and expression of which shows that Annibale's ability to draw did not diminish despite failing health and depression in his later years.
Carracci's version of Christ Crowned with Thorns shows two demonic soldiers preparing Christ for public display. Made in preparation for an etching that is signed and dated 1606,1 the study served as a modello for the print. Annibale drew the composition in great detail on a sheet of green-blue prepared paper, and the dark ground heightens both the drama and the emotional intensity of the scene. Although the etching is restricted to a palette of black ink against ivory paper, the drawing has the effect of a chiaroscuro print and is a tour de force of draftsmanship at this late moment in Annibale's career. Once completed, this highly finished composition was incised with a sharp instrument to transfer the image onto an etching plate of nearly identical size. Christ Crowned with Thorns was to become one of Carracci's most copied prints.2
While one soldier binds Christ's hands with rope, pulling tight on the cord, the other, his own hand protected by his iron gloves, pushes the Crown of Thorns deep into Christ's bowed head, a poignant and jolting detail. In the drawing, the soldier behind Christ ties his hands, whereas in the print he gives him the reed scepter, a mocking act. The thin stick Christ holds in the drawing is the symbol both of his power on earth and of the cross on which he will be crucified.
The drawing emphasizes highlights and shadows, and on the paper Annibale drew the lightest elements with particular attention, using layers of white gouache applied with a brush. Not only Christ's robes, but the light on his neck, beard, and chin appear luminous against the green-blue ground, ensuring that the tiniest details, such as the glint on the soldier's chain mail, and even the ugly white hairs bristling on his chin, would be cast into relief.
Christ's long neck, his pose of submission, and the utter cruelty of his tormentors bring to mind not so much Titian's great painting of this subject in the Louvre, to which this tiny composition has often been compared,3 but rather Caravaggio's Flagellation (Naples, Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte) and Crowning with Thorns (Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum).4 Both of Caravaggio's paintings and Annibale's drawing, as well as Annibale's earlier painting of the subject (Bologna, Pinacoteca Nazionale), are ultimately dependent on the majestic altarpiece by Sebastiano del Piombo, in the church of San Pietro in Montorio, up the Janiculum Hill from the Tiber River and just behind Annibale's abode in 1606.
The print for which this drawing is a study, and two others of the same
year, The Adoration of the Shepherds (see Cat. 94) and The Madonna della
Scodella, for which there is also a full preparatory drawing, are the last
documented works of Annibale's life.
Kate Ganz
1. The print is inscribed Annib. Carracius in. et fecit. 1606.
2. See Bohn 1996, 264, under no. .021. The print, one of only two pure etchings by Annibale, was known in five states and thirteen printed copies.
3. See, for example, De Grazia Bohlin in Washington 1979, 468, n. 4.
4. The Flagellation was painted in about 1607, when Caravaggio was already in Naples (see Gregori in New York and Naples 1985, no. 93). The close relationship between this painting and Annibale's print suggests that Caravaggio may have seen the etching before leaving Rome. Particularly striking is the repetition of the gesture of the soldier who forces down Christ's head with his fist (as is noted by Wallace in Boston-Cleveland-Washington 1989, 112). Caravaggio's Crowning with Thorns also bears striking similarities to Annibale's etching, but its date is uncertain and it is not clear which artist influenced the other. For a review of the dating problems, see Gregori in New York and Naples 1985, 316-318. See also Marini 1987, no. 35, who dates the painting to 1599.

A recent report has named the 100 worst air-polluting corporations –and the top five " winners" are: Bayer Group, ExxonMobil, Sunoco, DuPont (so much for "better living through chemistry!", and Arcelor Mittal. The losers are those of us who have to breathe the air and pay the costs. A true silent killer, it is estimated that air pollution kills 70,000 Ameircans per year, while traffic fatalities number 40,000 per year.
The Toxic 100 report comes at a time when stricter air pollution regulations are being fought as an enemy to economic recovery; yet the health care costs of air pollution are well-documented and a real drag on the economy in lost work days, school absenteeism, and healthcare costs.
The report reveals how many pounds of pollutants are released by the sum of each corporation's facilities, which chemicals are the most toxic, and how many people are at risk. This year's report for the first time includes data showing the disproportionate effects of air pollution on those living or working near these plants: the poor and minorities. For example, the data reveal that minorities bear 65% of the air toxics risk from facilities owned by ExxonMobil, while making up 38% of the U.S. population. While 12.9% of Americans live below the poverty line, the poor comprise 27.1% of those affected by chemical giant Pfizer's U.S. operations.
Air pollution costs everyone, no matter how far away from company smokestacks. Last month a RAND Corporation study showed that dirty air caused more than $193 million in hospital-based medical care from 2005 to 2007 in the state of California alone. Hospital admissions triggered by air pollution for acute bronchitis, pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease accounted for nearly one-third of the $193 million in health care spending documented over the study period.
The Toxic 100 was released by the Political Economy Research Institute at University of Massachusetts-Amherst, using data from the EPA's Toxics Release Inventory. The Toxic 100 rankers then include Risk-Screening Environmental Indicators data, also from the EPA, to correct for such disparities as the relative toxicity of different materials, pound for pound, the number of people affected based on plants' location, and by combining the data of all facilities owned by a corporation. The searchable database of air pollution statistics can be accessed at the Toxic 100 site.
Take action
Be aware that state and local measures to gut air pollution laws are often funded by the very companies that are causing the dirty air.

We could probably buy toxins captured from emissions from these companies for somewhat less than we are paying trying to undo the damage to people's health. If so, then the taxpayers could come out ahead buying the toxins and warehousing them.
I reside in a geographical area that ranked near the top of places with the worst air quality in the US, the disease, miscarriage and birth defect happening is far too common, the word "cancer" is seeming epidemic proportions in those diagnosed with it, this includes my dad. Corportations NEED to be disempowered by buying off those who make laws, they need to be held responsible for the lives and Nature they destroy, as a bumper sticker I have states "Corporations are not the People"!!!!!!!!!!!!!
everyone, please sign and share:
thanks so much
Why do we allow any polluters much less top polluters. So this goes on without any regulation and people get sick and die and it continues because they are "Corporations".
This is gross and needs to be stopped.
No excuse.
I totally agree that air pollution is bad; however, if regulating it when other countries(READ CHINA and INDIA) won't also engage in regulation then we are just putting more economic burden on companies and increasing pressure for them to move overseas taking American jobs with them. Then those cheap goods have to be transported all the way back to US and distributed, more pollution. It is not a simple issue.
It sounds like these companies should have to pay for the health care of the public.
thnx. i signed
I for one would like to see that list. At least I know 5 companies to boycott on this important issue.

Dr. Call is the best primary care doctor! I have seen him for years and he is always very helpful and understanding. During an ER trip that landed me in the ICU he was in the hospital reading up on my disease and figuring out what would be the best care for me. I would recommend him to anyone.
