Premature for Fed to wind down stimulus: Nobel Prize-winner Joseph Stiglitz
May 28, 2013
DUBAI: Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz said it would be premature for the US Federal Reserve to reduce monetary stimulus even if there's little evidence it helped the world's largest economy. "It's the only stimulus," the Columbia University professor said in an interview at the World Economic Forum in Jordan on May 26. "Clearly the economy is not back to normal, and to accept this as the new normal would be really wrong. " US stocks dropped and Treasuries fell for a fourth week, the longest slide since August, after Fed chairman Ben S Bernanke said the Fed may cut the pace of asset purchases if policy makers see indications of sustained growth.
ET Exclusive: Don't blame the Greeks for the crisis, says Joseph Stiglitz
May 26, 2010
George Smith Alexander & Sugata Ghosh , ET Bureau
Housewives in Greece and Spain didn't blow up money as the world thinks they did. They are suffering because of a reckless Wall Street and central banks which didn't want to upset the apple cart. The euro will survive, but the price would be volatility and turmoil. And soon, US markets will battle with another round of mortgage defaults and turmoil. Not our words. Joseph Stiglitz 's. One of the most outspoken critics of Fed and George Bush, Mr Stiglitz is "sufficiently pessimistic" about the world economy.
Piketty's book attests to growing concern about rising inequality: Joseph Stiglitz
September 9, 2014
By Joseph E Stiglitz The reception in the US, and in other advanced economies, of Thomas Piketty's recent book Capital in the Twenty-First Century attests to growing concern about rising inequality. His book lends further weight to the already overwhelming body of evidence concerning the soaring share of income and wealth at the very top. Piketty also sheds new light on the 'reforms' sold by Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s as growth enhancers from which all would benefit.
Sustainable growth only possible with policies designed for innovation: Joseph E Stiglitz
November 19, 2010
ET Bureau
NEW DELHI: India, which is the fastest growing economy after China , will be able to sustain the growth momentum only if policies are designed to foster knowledge and innovation, said Nobel-winning economist Joseph E Stiglitz . "Successful and sustained growth requires creating a learning society," he said while delivering the 42nd Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Lecture. "This is especially so in the twenty-first century as we move to a knowledge economy," he said. The world is currently going through the worst crisis since the Great Depression of 1930s, he said, adding that faulty understanding and application of economic principles were responsible for the current crisis.
Monetary policy has proven ineffective in US and Europe, need for fiscal stimulus: Joseph E Stiglitz
October 22, 2012
Joseph E Stiglitz Central banks on both sides of the Atlantic took extraordinary monetary-policy measures in September: the long-awaited QE3 - the third dose of quantitative easing by the US Federal Reserve - and the European Central Bank's (ECB) announcement that it will purchase unlimited volumes of troubled eurozone members' government bonds. Markets responded euphorically, with stock prices in the US, for example, reaching post-recession highs. Others, especially on the political right, worried that the latest monetary measures would fuel future inflation and encourage unbridled government spending.
No time for trade war between US and China: Joseph E Stiglitz
April 16, 2010
Joseph E Stiglitz
The battle with the US over China's exchange rate continues . When the Great Recession began, many worried that protectionism would rear its ugly head. True, G-20 leaders promised that they had learned the lessons of the Great Depression. But 17 of the G-20 's members introduced protectionist measures just months after the first summit in November 2008. The Buy America provision in the US' stimulus bill got the most attention. Still, protectionism was contained, partly due to the World Trade Organization.
Perils of 2012: Addressing long-term problems will help solve short-term ones, says Joseph E Stiglitz
January 23, 2012
Joseph E Stiglitz
Joseph E Stiglitz , The author is University Professor at Columbia University The year 2011 will be remembered as the time when many ever-optimistic Americans began to give up hope. US President John F Kennedy once said that a rising tide lifts all boats. But now, in the receding tide, Americans are beginning to see not only that those with taller masts had been lifted far higher, but also that many of the smaller boats had been dashed to pieces in their wake.
Why China can't be the super power dominating 21st century
February 19, 2015
By Sanjaya Baru A historically ill-informed debate has gone on about which country will dominate the 21st century. Entering this meaningless debate, Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz has added his weight to the view that this would be 'China's Century', forgetting that when it comes to global power relations, the past is no guide to the future. Merely because Imperial Britain dominated the 19th century and the United States dominated the 20th, many analysts have been in search of the defining power of the 21st.
Don't be a bully
September 27, 2008
This refers to 'Learning the lessons of Iraq' by Joseph Stiglitz (ET, Sept 24). The US, under President Bush went to war in Iraq, ostensibly to destroy Saddam Hussein's WMDs. But now, as the war in Iraq goes on, what is the shape of the US economy? The only lesson the US needs to learn is that democracy presumes not only dissent but also pluralism. Avoid being a bully. Prasad Malladi Basivireddypeta, September 25
Protectionist steps
February 7, 2009
This refers to your edit 'Davos goes nowhere' (ET, Feb 4). World Economic Forum wants ' bad banks' to hold toxic assets, freeing remaining 'good banks' to raise new capital for lending, Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz views that, if President Obama opts for bad banks, it will amount to swelling national debt and using taxpayers' 'cash for trash' (ET, Feb 2). Obama's bailout package promotes protectionism by mandating that only US steelmakers can supply steel to public infrastructure works, promising businesses tax credits for each American employed in the US and tax cuts to US workers.

Respond to Review of Govinda's Restaurant
by GreenGrasshopper
Review: I absolutely love this restaurant. I have been coming here for many years and although the price has gone up a little in that time, the food is still just as delicious and filling as ever. Most people will get the buffet, now $12.90, which includes a plate of rice and dahl, vegetable curry (which changes each day), kofta balls with tomato chutney/sauce, fresh garden salad and dressing, and a pappadum. Plus a lemon, mint and ginger cooler which is deliciously refreshing, and halava and custard for dessert. They have other options such as just buying one curry and rice for $6, and other individual options including lasagne and samosas. Takeaway options are also available. The halava and custard is not vegan alas but the main is, minus their traditional yoghurt salad dressing. On my last visit I was pleased to discover they had a new vegan dressing! When ordering simply say a 'vegan buffet please' and they will know what to give you =). I hope that they will add a vegan dessert option to their menu. It is a buffet so you are of course welcome to go back for more or ask for extra while they're filling up your plate but the food is so filling you probably won't need to. I'm usually full about halfway through but the food is so good I have to keep eating. The food has a unique and delicious taste that you will find nowhere else and just smelling it upon entering Govinda's makes my mouth water. It's always fresh and tastes a little different each time depending on the mix of vegetables and spices, and perhaps who is making it that day ;) The cooler may tickle your throat when they're a little generous with the ginger but usually it's perfect. The staff is always friendly. I suggest going early or late if you want to avoid the lunch rush. I find I'm always quite sleepy after eating here so allow some time to simply sit back and pat your satisfied stomach =).

A Framingham man, already facing state child pornography charges, is now accused by federal authorities of posing as a teenage boy to entice underage girls in several states to take naked videos of themselves and send them to him.
A Framingham man, already facing state child pornography charges, is now accused by federal authorities of posing as a teenage boy to entice underage girls in several states to take naked videos of themselves and send them to him.
Steven Orloff, 48, a former school administrator in Stoneham, Needham and Arlington, is also accused of setting up hidden video cameras in a bathroom in his 189 Potter Road home and secretly recording teenage girls showering and changing, according to an 18-page criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Boston on Friday.
Federal authorities arrested Orloff at his home at 6:40 a.m. Friday and charged him with producing child pornography and possession of child pornography.
The investigation was led by the Department of Homeland Security, but also involved officers from the Cumberland (Maine) County Sheriff's Office, the Bridgton, Maine, Police Department and Framingham Police.
According to the criminal complaint, the investigation began on July 24, 2012, when a mother in Casco, Maine, told Bridgton Police her 15-year-old daughter had "sexually explicit photographs" of herself on her iPod. The mother said the girl sent those images to those she thought were teenage boys she met on a social networking website called Tagged.com.
The girl said in January she started talking online with a 14-year-old boy named Jason Jaffe, who said he was from Sudbury. The federal complaint said Jaffe was actually Orloff.
Orloff, posing as Jaffe, said he had a lake house on Crystal Lake in Harrison, Maine, and convinced the girl to send several nude photos of herself, and he said he would send nude photos of himself. The girl said she sent the nude photos to several different people online.
The girl later told authorities she spoke to Jaffe using the face-to-face video site Skype, and she took live video of herself nude. She could not see "Jaffe" on the video, telling her that he did not have a webcam, the complaint said.
During the investigation, police searched the girl's computers and found out she girl had discovered Jaffe was a grown man.
"When she found this out she was heartbroken and had trouble sleeping at night," the complaint said.
Authorities contacted Internet providers and tracked the email to an IP address used by "Jaffe" to Orloff. The email was created on Feb. 16, 2010.
In December, state authorities searched Orloff's home and seized several computers and mobile devices.
Police found several photos and videos of the Maine girl, the complaint said.
Authorities also found a Skype nude video of a then-13-year-old girl from Vinita, Okla. The girl appears to be being directed by someone off-camera.
That girl told local authorities: "I do remember we Skyped and he sweet-talked me into showing myself to him. That's all I really remember. I got naked on cam for him. He would make me feel special to get me to do all of it. He made me feel bad by saying he couldn't get any of the other girls to do it for him."
Page 2 of 2 - Investigators also found a video of a 15-year-old Virginia girl who also met Orloff on Tagged.com, the complaint said.
Another video showed two nude girls from Jacksonville, Fla. fondling themselves. The girls were 12 and 14 at the time the video was recorded on Skype.
Another a video depicted a nude 15-year-old Milford, N.H., girl, the complaint said.
On another computer, authorities found that Orloff had hidden a camera in a houseplant in a bathroom at his home. The video catches Orloff setting up the camera and then leaving the bathroom. The camera recorded two teenage girls, younger than 16, naked while showering separately. The complaint does not identify Orloff's alleged relationship to the girls.
Framingham Police originally arrested Orloff on Dec. 12, 2012, for possession of child pornography and two counts of photographing an unsuspecting person in a state of nudity. He posted $50,000 bail in that case and is ordered to wear a GPS monitoring bracelet. That case is pending.
Orloff appeared Friday in court and was ordered held until Tuesday for a detention hearing.

Throughout 2012, Dillard University has celebrated the 70th anniversary of its School of Nursing. There have been roundtables and panel discussions to enrich the education of today's nursing students. Commemorative banners have been hung across campus and on Gentilly Boulevard. And finally, a scholarship gala featuring dinner, dancing and memories will be held on Sunday, Nov. 11, following Founders' Day, to benefit the program. Nursing alumna Dr. Mackie Norris will serve as the evening's guest speaker.
A Brief History of Nursing
In 1942 Albert Dent, a Morehouse graduate and Dillard's third president, sought to create a nursing program for blacks that would develop leaders in a field dominated by white women. It was important to him that students graduated not only as effective nurses, but also as better individuals then they had been when they arrived. He selected Rita E. Miller, a graduate of Columbia University and the Mercy Hospital School of Nursing, as the division's first chair.
At the time, it was the only collegiate nursing school open to African-Americans in Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma and Mississippi, an area with nearly four million African-Americans, and it was one of only four such programs in the country. The nursing course at Dillard consisted of five years of study leading to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. The first two years followed the pattern of liberal arts education conducted at Dillard for freshman and sophomore students, including music, the sciences, and literature. The final three years were devoted to clinical and professional education. The first class of four students graduated in 1945. Dillard University owned and operated Flint-Goodridge Hospital, and the 100-bed facility proved to be the perfect place to provide clinical training. Students worked at the Hume Child Development Center, too. They also traveled to other hospitals to gain experiences in a variety of nursing specialties, though societal constraints necessitated that they travel quite far in order to do so – all the way to the other side of the Mason-Dixon line, to Montefiore Hospital in New York and Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn. Later, in the 1950s, students went to the Tuskegee Mental Hospital in Alabama to work with black soldiers and civilians.
In 1952, the Dillard University Division of Nursing became the first accredited nursing program in the state of Louisiana. In the 1960s, the program adopted its current four-year curriculum. Throughout the '50s and '60s, Dillard nursing students provided care to African-American patients at Charity Hospital of New Orleans and the New Orleans Department of Health, in addition to Flint-Goodridge. Following the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, students gained more opportunities and no longer had to travel out of state to New York for broader clinical experiences.
In May 1973, the program graduated its first white student, Tamzon D. Tuthill. Three years later, Louis V. Gregoire became the first male graduate. Over 1,200 students have successfully matriculated through the program. Today Dillard's School of Nursing is based in the Professional Schools and Sciences Building, which opened in 2010. Students have the benefit of state-of-the-art laboratories and equipment, including nursing simulators – picture really fancy mannequins – that breathe, speak, sweat and exhibit a broad range of human functions conducive to training scenarios. A lot has changed since 1942. But the values upon which the program was founded – training better nurses, and better people – remain the same.
"To do what nobody else will do, a way that nobody else can do, in spite of all we go through; is to be a nurse."

A pair of renowned Hollywood filmmakers will speak at Dillard University in October. Kerwin DeVonish, who has served as Spike Lee's cinematographer on films such as "Red Hook Summer" and the forthcoming Michael Jackson documentary "Bad 25," will speak at 7 p.m. on Oct. 5. Sharon Seymour, who has served as production designer on films such as Ben Affleck's "Argo" and George Clooney's "The Ides of March," will speak at 4 p.m. on Oct. 10. Both sessions are free and open to the public, and will be held in the Georges Auditorium in Dillard's Professional Schools Building.
Each session will include three parts: an interview conducted by Keith Alan Morris, assistant professor of mass communication at Dillard; clips from the artists' films and accompanying discussion; and an audience Q&A. Both DeVonish and Seymour have recently worked on Spike Lee's remake of the 2003 Korean film "Oldboy," which has been shooting in New Orleans and is scheduled for release in 2013.
Hollywood touches even closer to home with the addition of several Dillard students to Director Spike Lee's film team for his latest production, "OLD BOY".
"This is important," says Dillard film professor, Keith Alan Morris. "Most big filmmakers have closed sets, like Tarantino-- on his last film, many in his own crew weren't allowed on set. But, because Spike trusts Dillard students to know protocol and be of value, they will be allowed on set," he further explains.
Renowned Director Lee Daniels has also been shooting his film "The Butler" on Dillard campus as well.
For more information on the film speaker series, contact Keith Alan Morris at (504) 816-4548.
2012 marks the 25th anniversary of the UNCF New Orleans Walk for Education! UNCF invites everyone to celebrate this milestone in order to raise funds to help Louisana students get to and through college. The event takes place on Saturday, October 13, 2012, with the race beginning at the Audubon Park Riverview, 8 a.m.
Each year, the Walk for Education attracts thousands of students, parents, educators and community members who believe that education is a priority for everyone. This year the Dillard University (DU) staff, faculty and students, and the DU Alumni have formed teams. Both groups have been added to the UNCF Team Honor Roll. The competition between Dillard and Xavier Universities to raise the most money is legendary and continues this year as well. Dillard's goal is to raise $16,000.
"This cause is important to the members of our team because it will make education accessible to everyone by eliminating financial barriers for deserving students," says Dillard team organizer, Travis Chase.
Walkers, supporters and participants are asked to register for the DU team by clicking on this link. For more information, contact Travis Chase at
Dr. Corey Hebert is a very busy man. Along with being the Medical Director for Dillard University, the Medical Director for the Louisiana Recovery School District, the Chief Medical Editor at WDSU-NBC and an Asst. Professor at Tulane University Medical Center, he has found time to create an important new media outlet - Black Health TV.

Celebrated artist and former Dillard faculty member Elizabeth Catlett will be honored at a special engagement and exhibit held at Dillard University (DU), on October 6, 2012. Created in conjunction with Stella Jones Gallery, the show will feature many special pieces on display on the DU campus.
Elizabeth Catlett's refined, sensual sculptures of wood, bronze, and marble, as well as a prolific body of expressionistic, often politically charged prints, have made her one of the most celebrated American artists. During a career that spanned more than seventy years, Catlett has been featured in more than sixty solo exhibitions of her work. Since 1946, she resided largely in Mexico and continued to produce art until her death in April of 2012 at the age of ninety-six.
Catlett was born in Washington, D.C. to Mary Carson Catlett and John Catlett, a professor of mathematics at Tuskegee Institute who died before she was born. Though trained as a teacher, following her husband's death, Elizabeth's mother worked a series of jobs to support the family. Observing her mother's strategies for survival and hearing narratives about her enslaved grand-parents' lives, Catlett would later discuss the impact of their strength and perseverance on her own life and career.
Artist and art historian Samella Lewis, Catlett's biographer and former student, has written of Catlett's tenure as head of the art department at Dillard University from 1940-1942: "Elizabeth Catlett was a commanding and fascinating individual... She stood up to everybody…Her immersion in the civil rights movement, labor movements, and human rights in general was a threat to the status quo and an embarrassment to the conservative officials of the university, but she persisted until her departure in the spring of 1942…She confronted police brutality, bus drivers on segregated seating, and college administrators on curriculum." Such experiences would result in a recurrence of socially progressive themes in her work.
For more information about the tribute, please contact John Barnes at (504) 816-4448.

Nicole Kidman Didn't Wear Anne Hathaway's Discarded Oscar Dress in Cannes: Rep
True: Nicole Kidman looked absolutely stunning and regal in an ivory lace Valentino Haute Couture gown at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Nebraska on Thursday, May 24. False: Kidman's dress was the same Valentino frock that another A-list actress, Anne Hathaway, originally planned to wear to the 2013 Academy Awards before an infamous, and rather emotional, dress switch-up.
PHOTOS: Cannes Film Fest fashion
Despite much speculation to the contrary, a spokesperson for Valentino tells Us Weekly exclusively that Kidman's Cannes look is, in fact, not the same dress that Hathaway discarded last minute. Although similar, Hathaway's original Valentino dress (below) had distinctive differences from the one chosen by Kidman.
PHOTOS: How Nicole's face has changed
As exclusively revealed by Us Weekly, Hathaway decided at the 11th hour to wear a Prada gown instead for what was ultimately her Oscar-winning night. The reason? Hathaway's Les Miserables costar Amanda Seyfried planned to wear an Alexander McQueen frock that was remarkably similar. Discovering Seyfried's choice the day before the big night, Hathaway "started throwing a fit!" a source told Us at the time.
PHOTOS: Biggest Oscar gaffes of all time
Hathaway even acknowledged the switch-up at the time in a public statement. "It came to my attention late Saturday night that there would be a dress worn to the Oscars that is remarkably similar to the Valentino I had intended to wear, and so I decided it was best for all involved to change my plans," the actress, 30, said. "I deeply regret any disappointment caused."

Australia and New Zealand Government Advisories are simply wrong – out of touch with the reality in Uganda
Australia and Uganda – in their travel recommendations to and in Uganda are out of touch with what has gone on inside of Uganda – Oddly – the governments who are giving the wrong advice do not have an embassy inside of Uganda.
New Zealand and Australia do not recommend Gorilla Tracking in Uganda
New Zealand "There is extreme risk to your security in the south-western border area shared with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (including the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla Park), due to banditry and cross-border attacks by rebel groups and we advise against all travel to this area."
Australia: "We strongly advise you not to travel to Uganda's far south-west borders with the DRC, including the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and the Mgahinga Gorilla Park."
Reality: There have been no incidents with tourists in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest or Mgahinga Gorilla Park – the last incident occurred in 1999 – since that time the Ugandan Army, Police, Park Rangers and now Tourist Police have done everything possible to protect tourists. I have never never had a client tell us that they did not feel safe. Fortunately – countless of Australians and New Zealanders have and are ignoring the recommendations of two ill-informed countries without any consulate or embassy presence in Uganda. Uganda allows 80 tourists a day to track gorillas – – none of those tourists have been hurt in the past – in fact the US Government (USAID) provided a lot of money for a lodge just near the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo. What do the Americans know that New Zealand and Australia do not? For one thing – they have an embassy here in Uganda.
New Zealand and Australia do not recommend visiting Murchison Falls Park
New Zealand: There is extreme risk to your security in north-western Uganda (Nebbi, Arua, Yumbe, Moyo, Adjumani, Gulu, Apac, Lira, Kitgum and Pader districts) and areas bordering Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), including Lake Albert and Murchison Falls National Park, and we advise against all travel to these areas. Banditry and attacks and abductions by rebel groups, including the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), pose a significant risk to your safety in these areas.
Australia: We strongly advise you not to travel to northern Uganda (particularly the Nebbi, Arua, Moyo, Yumbe, Adjumani, Apac, Gulu, Kitgum, Lira and Pader districts) and areas bordering Sudan and the DRC (including Lake Albert and Murchison Falls National Park) because of the serious risk of attacks and abductions by rebel groups and the risk of banditry in these areas.
The Ugandan Government periodically closes tourist areas considered to be at risk of rebel activity. You should seek local advice about the current situation prior to travel.
Reality: Murchison Falls is a safe travel area – weekly we take clients, including large groups to Murchison Falls – in recent a 5 star resort – Chobe Safari Lodge spent millions of dollars in building one of the finest safari lodges in Uganda. Logic – would an investor spend millions in a high risk area – if it could hurt their investment?
There have been no incidents within Murchison Falls National Park – since June 2006 – the LRA has not operated inside of Uganda – no Ugandans have been abducted since that time, there have been no security problems in Murchison Falls Park since that time. New Zealand and Australia – once again are wrong and out of touch.
Do not take my word – read local news accounts about incidents that tourists encountered in Uganda – the government of Uganda has not closed any tourism areas due to rebel activities-there have been no rebel activities in Uganda.
Should there by any problems – we will publish them here…from Kampala…jon

The Dilithium Mine is live.
I would suggest Priorities like this now:
Upgrade Industrial Fabricator (this will slightly reduce the Dilithium Provision costs)
Then level and upgrade the mine at least to Tier 1
Then upgrade the rest of the main base to benefit from the first dilithium mine discounts.
Basic leveling should remain mainly on the mine in the meantime until it is done.
After that back to the Embassy.

preview of 'Your Inner Fish' TV series to include Q&A with host Neil Shubin
Logan Center event with paleontologist is free and open to the public
A recurring image of Prof. Neil Shubin's new PBS miniseries "Your Inner Fish" places the UChicago scholar on a Chicago "L" train, marveling at fellow riders as they sprout fish heads, reptile tongues and ape tails.
The slick animations serve a scientific purpose: Shubin is reaching out to a national audience with the message that human body parts, talents, ailments and biological puzzles have origins in the genes and body plans of our animal relatives.
"Now, you might not think your body has much in common with a fish," he suggests, "but I see a family resemblance…You are related to them, and the clues to that connection are etched in ancient stone."
The University will host a special advance screening of "Your Inner Fish" on April 3 at the Logan Center for the Arts, including a Q&A session with Shubin. The event is free and open to the public; RSVP for the screening here.
The three-part series, which premieres nationwide April 9, brings to life Shubin's best-selling and highly readable 2008 book, Your Inner Fish. Chicago's dramatic scenery is a star of the show, as are the UChicago classrooms and laboratories in which Shubin explains anatomical links between seemingly disparate relatives, including the brains of humans and sharks.
The episodes, made possible by a partnership between Shubin, Tangled Bank Productions of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and the Public Broadcasting Service, also follow Shubin and fossil-hunting colleagues on expeditions to the Arctic, the deserts of Ethiopia and the high plains of South Africa.
For Shubin, the Robert R. Bensley Distinguished Service Professor of Anatomy, the new show's broad audience offers an unusual chance to bring complex ideas and discoveries in biology to new audiences, including young students.
"We live in an age of a big disconnect," Shubin said. "Just at a time when many of the issues we face as a society require a knowledge of science and technology, we have a large fraction people who are either intimidated by or antagonistic to science itself. Efforts like 'Your Inner Fish' are an attempt to reveal the power of scientific reasoning to explain our world."
guide for adventure
There is grandeur in this view of life, as Charles Darwin once put it. Shubin's book on the topic was an instant success. "Your Inner Fish is my favorite sort of book," wrote reviewer Oliver Sacks, "an intelligent, exhilarating and compelling scientific adventure story, one which will change forever how you understand what it means to be human."
On television, Shubin is a genial guide for that adventure. Often wearing his trademark orange down vest, he returns to the scenes of many historic discoveries that helped establish the evolutionary story behind our body plan.
Shubin, a self-described "fish paleontologist," discovered one such stony clue. He led a team of researchers who found fossils of Tiktaalik roseae. Soon dubbed the "Fishapod," Titaalik was the missing evolutionary link between fish and the first animals that waddled out of water onto land, about 375 million years ago. This ancient creature, the real star of episode one, was at the cusp of the fish-tetrapod transition, combining a skull, a neck, ribs and parts of the limbs that are similar to four-legged animals with fish-like features such as a primitive jaw, fins and scales.
The discovery, published in the April 6, 2006 issue of the journal Nature, came at an opportune time, during the highly publicized "intelligent-design" court case in Dover, Penn. Stories about Tiktaalik ran on the front pages one of The New York Times and the Chicago Tribune. Time magazine gave it three pages. ABC News featured Shubin as their "Person of the Week." He even turned up, awhile later, on the Colbert Report, where he faced difficult questions. "What is it about evolutionary biologists," the host asked, "that they just can't let people think what they want about themselves?"
The intense and persisting interest in ancient fish bones gave Shubin the idea to write the book, which evolved into the TV series. Old bones, properly examined, "can be a path to knowledge about who we are and how we got that way," he wrote. "We learn about our own bodies in seemingly bizarre places, ranging from the fossils of worms and fish recovered from rocks from around the world to the DNA in virtually every animal alive on earth today…I can imagine few things more beautiful or intellectually profound than finding the basis for our humanity and remedies for many of the ills we suffer, nestled inside some of the most humble creatures that have ever lived on our planet."
Each of the three hourlong episodes focuses on an important transition: the fish-to-tetrapod transition starting about 375 million years ago, when our predecessors transitioned from living in water as fish to living on land; followed by the reptile-to-mammal transition; and the early primate-to-human transition. Learn more about the episodes here.

Simon is hoping that the competition will be a great chance to create some unique artwork and that the portrait sessions will push him creatively.
"I wanted to do some more experimentation in my photography and the question was who to do it with. From past experience when I've offered to shoot for free I've found myself in such high demand that I needed to find some way to make it fair. Hence The Experiments competitions"
The first theme will be "Stillness & Motion". Further details will be available on Simon's blog (www.simondewey.co.uk/
The competitions are local to the Derby area, and open to anyone over 18.

Hi sudek, I think you can use a stronger dilution of peroxide (15% or even 50% - but peroxide is kinda DANGEROUS at that dilutions, it may BURN your skin and stuff, therefore BEWARE! I'd go for the other SAFE way...) and add some more to fully convert iron(II) to iron(III) in your sensitizer solution w/o diluting it too much. I think adding just enough peroxide (not more than enough) will totally revive the solution w/o compromising it. BUT, I'd really prefer to purchase dry FO and mix a fresh iron solution. Mix small batches that you'll use up within a couple of months max...
mitch, sudek's problem isn't bronzing, it's the other way around.

Brazil Banks Stocks Drop on Reserve Requirement Raise
Brazilian banks fell in Sao Paulo trading after the central bank raised reserve and capital requirements to slow consumer lending growth that's running at 20 percent annually and prevent a credit bubble.
Banco Santander Brasil SA, the Brazilian unit of Spain's biggest bank, declined 3.3 percent to 22.58 reais at the close of trading in Sao Paulo at 3 p.m. New York time. Banco do Brasil SA, Latin America's biggest bank by assets, fell 2.7 percent to 32.60 reais. The benchmark Bovespa index gained 0.3 percent.
The central bank took into account the "solvency" of Brazil's financial system when deciding to take today's measures, said President Henrique Meirelles. The move is being made a month after Grupo Silvio Santos took a 2.5 billion reais ($1.5 billion) loan to bail out Banco Panamericano SA, the nation's 21st largest by assets.
"The rapid expansion of credit levels in an economy may lead to the occurrence of excesses by economic agents," Meirelles told reporters today in Brasilia. "This measure is prudential, therefore, reduces liquidity in the financial markets and inhibits the formation of non-sustainable trends, the bubbles."
Reserve requirements on time deposits will rise to 20 percent from 15 percent and an additional requirement for non-interest bearing accounts will climb to 12 percent from 8 percent. The moves will remove 61 billion reais ($36 billion) from circulation, the central bank said today. Banks will also be required to use more capital to back consumer loans that exceed 24 months. The measures take effect Dec. 6.
'Less Capacity'
"For banks this is definitely bad," said Otavio Vieira, who helps manage 1.5 billion reais ($886.8 million) at Safdie Private Banking in Sao Paulo. "They're going to have less capacity to concede credit."
Banco Panamericano SA slipped 1.1 percent to 4.55 reais while rival Banco ABC Brasil SA tumbled 3.6 percent to 16.00 reais.
Outstanding consumer credit rose 1.8 percent in October from September, to a record 743.5 billion reais ($438 billion). Credit rose to a record 47.2 percent of gross domestic product, from 46.7 percent in September.
Brazil joins the People's Bank of China in tightening policy to head off inflationary pressure as domestic demand expands. That contrasts with policies in developed nations, where the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan are buying assets to shore up their economic recoveries. Brazilian inflation is quickening as the economy grows at the fastest pace in more than two decades.
Rate Increase
"It would be prudent to not dissociate these macro- prudential measures from conventional monetary policy actions," Brazilian central bank President Henrique Meirelles told reporters in Brasilia. "They are complementary channels used in different situations."
Meirelles said today's measures will help slow inflation, prompting traders to reduce bets the central bank will raise interest rates this month for the first time since July from 10.75 percent.
The yield on the January 2011 contract, the most traded today, dropped 15.4 basis points, or 0.154 percentage point, to 10.685 percent.
Consumer price increases, as measured by the IPCA-15 index, accelerated to 5.47 percent in the year through mid-November, the highest since March 2009. Brazil targets inflation of 4.5 percent, plus or minus two percentage points.
Brazil's retail sales expanded for a fifth straight month in September on record low unemployment and credit growth. Sales rose 0.4 percent in September from August, and were up 11.8 percent from a year earlier, beating the 11.1 percent median forecast of 30 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Unemployment fell to 6.1 percent in October.
Avoid 'Exaggerations'
"Of course, this will raise the price of credit a little bit, but during this moment of expansion it is opportune," Finance Minister Guido Mantega said, according to an audio file e-mailed by the ministry. "Credit has risen a lot lately, demand is at a satisfactory level. We have to avoid exaggerations, so the measures were very adequate."
China has lifted reserve requirements five times this year, with the latest taking effect on Nov. 29. Turkey's central bank said Nov. 29 that it may make "more active" use of reserve requirements to stem foreign currency inflows. Peru's central bank has raised its benchmark lending rate five times this year and increased reserve requirements to prevent inflation from accelerating beyond the government's target range.
'Political Demand'
Brazilian President-elect Dilma Rousseff, who takes office Jan. 1, will resort to all possible measures to contain inflation before lifting the overnight rate, Roberto Padovani, chief economist at Banco WestLB do Brasil SA in Sao Paulo, said.
Rousseff will rely on measures to reduce liquidity and to contain public spending before raising rates, Padovani said.
"There is a political demand for lower interest rates," said Padovani, who expects Brazil's next central bank president, Alexandre Tombini, to keep rates unchanged next year. "There is also a short term technical issue -- avoiding interest rate increases to avoid a further appreciation of the real."
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva told reporters in Rio de Janeiro that he is "very worried" about the strength of the Brazilian real.
The real has more than doubled against the U.S. dollar since Lula took office in 2003, becoming the best performer amid the 16 most traded currencies tracked by Bloomberg. The real rose 0.6 percent to 1.6870 per U.S. dollar.
'Macroeconomic Implications'
Brazil, the world's eighth-largest economy, will expand 7.55 percent this year, according to a central bank survey of about 100 economists published Nov. 29.
The same survey showed that economists expect the central bank to raise the benchmark interest rate by 150 basis points, or 1.5 percentage points, next year, starting with a 50 basis point increase in April.
"Although these are prudential measures in nature, one can affirm with a reasonable degree of certainty that they will have macroeconomic implications, having an impact on the credit market in its quantitative dimension and also via prices," Meirelles said.
