"Nice job on your Dad's card. How fun to see it on the Internet. We know you warmed his heart and made him smile when he received this special card. Love, Grandma, Grandpa & Jagger"
"Dads can do so many things. My Dad loved to bake. A great hobby around our home since Mom didn't like to. He was so inventive. It was great fun just to watch him in our tiny kitchen mixing things. He never measured anything, and whatever he was baking would always be called a 'surprise.'
"Dad seldom had any preconceived idea what the finished product was going to be exactly, and he had the habit of making enough to feed a small army! We knew if he were baking a cake, making bread pudding or some kind of pie that the end result would be a cake, bread pudding or pie – we just never knew in advance what kind. Dad used whatever there was handy at the time.
"What I never knew until I grew up was the reason Dad had built a couple of collapsible shelves by the living room window. Supposedly, the shelves were to "cool" the finished product so we could indulge. But once the windows were opened, the wonderful aromas would flow gently on the breeze for all the neighbors to get a whiff of what he had created. Soon neighbors would start dropping by with every imaginable excuse, but we all knew they just wanted to taste the latest of Dad's creations. Soon, without any prior announcement, we'd all be talking, laughing and partying – and the only reason for getting together was Dad's terrific hobby."
Roger Dumais
San Diego
"I wish my dad were alive today so we could have another shot at being friends. Dad died in 1971 when I was 27, had three small children to raise, and had just divorced after seven years of a tough marriage.
"While I was growing up, we were both angry people. As a teenager, he was the epitome of what I hated then; he smoked cigars which I couldn't stand, he spit tobacco, swore constantly, and didn't go to church, something Mother insisted the rest of us do, and he was usually ornery. Mother and Dad grumbled at each other all the time.
"There was almost 50 years between our ages. But since attaining maturity and an understanding about parenthood and adult life, I wish now he was around. I'd tell him I loved him, something I never said, even once. I'd really work at being his friend.
"For now, at age 60, I can remember things other than how our anger spoiled things between us. How he provided for us through hunting, fishing, gardening and being a beloved mailman. How my brothers loved him and shared the outdoors with him. I can remember the Sunday drives that my younger sister and I shared with Mom and Dad, and other family excursions we went on. And there were plenty of other things, too.
"My two sisters and I didn't have that connection with Dad that my brothers did, but I seemed to be more aware of him than they were. Perhaps it had something to do with my personality, for Mother called me "the Second Mr. Holzinger." I hated that, then, too.
Mary D. Carnes
"I am a fortunate man; my father was my hero. A patient and loving man who taught me the three most important things a boy should learn: Hunting, fishing and baseball.
"I remember a time when my team had a father-son game to raise funds for new uniforms. One of the fathers was "Prince Hal" Schumacher, a retired big-league pitcher. He pitched the first six innings, and my dad pitched the last three. "Prince Hal" was marvelous, so smooth and so precise. My dad was the opposite. He threw directly over the top with a herky jerky motion, and we could not get a hit off of him.
"The next day (dad) couldn't raise his arm. When I asked him why, he told me he hadn't touched a baseball in over 20 years.
"My dad loved Beagle hounds. He used them for rabbit hunting during the depression years. This was a very necessary supplement to our diet.
"In the evening, when mom started nagging him about various perceived faults, he would load his dog up in the car and disappear. When I got older, I would go with him. He would sit on a stump out in the swamp and smoke his pipe and let the dog run. At that age, I couldn't understand his joy in the solitude listening to the sounds of nature, watching the birds and the occasional deer and fox.
Now I'm in my 70s and, suddenly, I do understand.

The wind of change
K made one of her most funny faces ever today when a gust hit her from behind. Her look sums up how many of us feel about the unrelenting wind!
I love having the elk herd back for the winter! My nephews and I made some "LED photographic art" that sums up my feelings about the elk. We made the photo by keeping the shutter on my camera open for a long time in a dark room. One of the boys took an LED light and drew a happy face in the air using the light. What fun!

How creative your nephews and you are! I love that shot! Love when the elk and geese gather, too, and I guess the bighorn, too. I wasn't enjoying that wind too much, but you're right. It does signal winter.
We had a bull elk gallop down our street over the weekend, but I was in a CPR/AED class and missed it. :(

We've heard about your winds even here in North Carolina so they must REALLY be something. Glad you could find some sheltered areas. The Elk are marvelous. I cannot imagine the thrill of seeing such a large heard.
How wonderful it is to see K healthy and sound once more.

Wow! Thanks for sharing that video-how gorgeous and powerful they are! I remember seeing an Elk (I think) when i was camping in Montans many years ago-he came up to our campsite-and took my breath away!

I'm happy about that Happy Face (and also K's funny face when grimacing in the wind). Many trees ere toppled here, too, including a large lodgepole which fell on a neighbor's roof. So many deer track crisscrossing the trails this AM - I'm wondering of they were spooked by hunters?

You and K are so in tune with Mother Earth and her gifts.
I think today- the two of you are touching the winds spirit. Flowing through the trees and wild grasses. You two are one.
The Elk herd are sharing a gift with you- their presence that they are strong and ok and continuing their journey in the land you share.
K's calmness- may not calm the wind, but it helps to calm me.
Her courage is beyong words to explain. She has so overcome trials. Inspiration soars.
The smile made our day- how fun!

*grin* Light painting is one of the things I want to try one of these days for an assignment for the DDC! I love your smile.
The elk don't move quite the way I thought they would. I guess I figured they'd be more deer-like when they ran. I hope the herd does well through the winter!
I feel the same way K does about the wind! Not a fan!

We hate the wind too. We have had a little extra around here lately too but nothing that would come close to knocking down trees.
Love the shot of the elk!

You know I am very happy to welcome the Elk back. The old herd, this years youngsters, the whole bunch of them look great to me. I loved the video of them crossing the road and had to watch it a few times!
Do they ever hit a patch of ice when they are running and go flying?
Cheers and hugs,

I didn't know that was a calming signal. Pip does that a lot to me - maybe he is telling me to calm down.
The elk are beautiful. I wonder what sounds they make? I didn't even know people hunted elk. Do they hunt for food or sport? I learn so much for your blog!

K, we hate the wind, too. Once it blew the roof off of our garage! Who knows? We could blow all the way to Kansas! One of us could end up being a Woo!!! Though maybe that wouldn't be so bad!!

Brrr... It was 70 degrees here today, and so warm Jed was panting in his newly acquired winter furs. But it will be back to seasonal in a couple of days.
Is K's infection all gone now? She's looking really great. Glad to see you smiling, too :)
When the elk come down for the winter, where do the deer go? Even further down the mountains?

Hi Y'all,
So glad to see the elk...especially the video...oh the poor young one who hit the slippery road and almost skidded. Some of the older ones obviously knew the road was slippery...
K hates wind as much as I do...it doesn't matter whether it's winter or summer...I try to stay out of it 'cause I end up with a bad sinus headache and poor Hawk's allergies...unfortunately for both of us Hawk doesn't care...he just wants to go!
Hard to believe as we bask in 70 degree days with roses and daylillies still blooming that y'all have all that snow. We'll be heading back to the mountains for the Holiday, but hopefully it's still too early for snow to slow us down there.

We're tired of the wind, too! It even blew part of our fence down the other night. I just don't like the wind at all. It makes me very nervous the way it blows the trees around over my head.

The fierceness of wind is one of those Big Me-Little Me moments. Something makes me want to stand defiantly daringly shouting my own counter howl; and at the same time I seek to curl up tightly and cheat the blast by finding a place it cannot reach. Your photos and descriptions were invigorating.

Ok, to my question....
So for christmas I thought I was getting a ring. Found out like a day or two before that I was getting a stove( a really nice one...super excited about it). I had been told to choose between a fridge or stove had no idea it was my gift. Only reason I thought I was getting a ring is because he was being extra sweet lately and I saw him googling (by accident!) Diamond rings right after he got some extra cash in. We have been together five years, we've lived together most of that time and have one child.
Anyways, today I see a Facebook post saying " hey, (my name here) now you're the only one without an engagement ring". Come to find out his brother proposed to his gf of two years and I did not known.
Would you be upset if you were me?
I'm not sure what to feel.

KP's long and winding road
Kevin Pietersen has called on England to produce "one final push" in the second Test against Bangladesh to end their lengthy winter programme on a high.
Saturday's clash at the Shere Bangla National Stadium represents the final leg of a tough international schedule that has taken England from the Champions Trophy in South Africa to an away series against the Proteas, a brief Twenty20 stop against Pakistan in Dubai and now a Test and ODI tour of Bangladesh.
During that time England have put in some much improved limited-overs performances, scored a highly creditable drawn Test series against South Africa, and gone unbeaten so far here.
Overall, it is a period Pietersen believes the team can look back on with pride, providing they avoid slipping up at the final hurdle in Mirpur, on the outskirts of Dhaka.
"We started out a long time ago but it's been a pretty successful winter for us," said the 29-year-old batsman.
"It's been a big winter for us but there is still one final push needed.
"Generally we don't end tours on the best note so this is an opportunity for all of us to make sure we get stuck in and dig deep and get that victory.
"Of course we'd have liked to beat Australia and gone on in the Champions Trophy in November but for the team this has been a great winter in terms of results.
"It's been a good team effort and to win this last one would be fantastic."
Although England are not on duty again until the World Twenty20 in the Caribbean at the end of April, things do not get any less hectic for Pietersen.
He has signed for a four-week stint in the Indian Premier League and is due to play for Bangalore Royal Challengers against Delhi Daredevils the day after the scheduled end of the Test against Bangladesh.
He is also expecting to become a father for the first time midway through the World Twenty20.
But, having been out of the game for several months after a serious Achilles injury forced him to miss the conclusion of last summer's Ashes, he is not concerned about too much cricket.
"On a personal level this winter has been a case of getting back to playing again after a pretty severe injury, a career-threatening injury," said Pietersen.
"It's taken a little longer than I'd have liked but I'm getting back there now.
"It is a hell of a busy time for me - here for four weeks, Dubai before that, playing in India the day after the Test finishes and then the Twenty20 World Cup.
"Then as soon we get back we've got another Test match 10 days later. So yes, it's a very busy time but I love the challenge.
"I feel privileged and honoured to be in that dressing room so I'm not complaining at all."
The new Brit Insurance 2010-11 official England Cricket Team kit will be available to pre order from April 1 via ecb.co.uk, and in store from April 29

Lagniappe has learned at least one local business had records related to purchases by Mayor Sam Jones' campaign subpoenaed Wednesday by the District Attorney's Office.The owner, who spoke on condition that the business' name not be used, said officials from Mobile County District Attorney Ashley Rich's office came in today bearing a subpoena for records for 2010 and 2011, and were looking for purchases made by Jones' campaign. The particular business was not listed on annual reports submitted by the Jones Campaign to the Mobile County Probate Court for either year. By law, campaigns are required to account for all expenditures made. When asked, the business owner confirmed that Jones has indeed made purchases over the past two years using his campaign account, although he didn't know the exact number, only that there were several. Rich would not confirm or deny that subpoenas were issued for that particular business' records, or for any other. She also would not confirm or deny whether Jones' campaign records were subpoenaed by her office. "I have no comment," Rich repeated three times when asked about whether she had ordered subpoenas for one business, multiple businesses or the mayor's records. Jones' campaign spending has come under scrutiny after a report in the May 2 issue of Lagniappe detailed more than $70,000 in unusual spending over the past two years. Those expenditures include $9,700 during 34 visits to Sam's Wholesale store, $8,491 in electricity from Alabama Power, $2,251 in hardware store purchases and $3,691 to State Farm Insurance to name a few. Jones has said those expenses relate to his keeping of a year-round campaign headquarters at a building he owns at 2209 Costarides St. He also rents half of the building out to the Epiphany Beauty Salon, and has admitted during interviews with other media to using campaign funds to make repairs to the part of the building used by his campaign, as well as to pay for an alarm system for the whole building, a dumpster used by both his campaign office and the salon and for lawn care. Jones has refused repeated requests by Lagniappe for an interview on this subject.Jones has had multiple explanations for the nearly $10,000 in purchases from Sam's Club, a wholesale store, initially saying all purchases went to support the headquarters and for "typing paper," then later telling other media he also used the money to purchase juice and water for the mayor's office. He has refused to supply receipts from the Sam's Club buys, claiming they were trying to get them together. Sam's verified Monday that they could supply 12 months of purchases within 24 hours if requested by a member. On Tuesday, Jones said he would be supplying no further records than those already online with Probate Court.Use of campaign funds to support his tenant's business would be a violation of state campaign finance laws. The law also prohibits using campaign funds in ways that would personally benefit the candidate. Those violations can carry up to a Class B felony charge.As for non-reporting of expenditures, Janice McDonald of the Secretary of State's Election division said someone being found guilty of not disclosing purchases could be found guilty of a Class B misdemeanor. Jones has repeatedly said he has followed the "letter of the law" in his reporting. "But we have followed the letter of the law. Every penny, every transaction we've made is listed on that form," Jones said Tuesday morning outside the City Council Chambers.Calls to his office concerning this story were not returned.

Dmitri's tragic mistake is that he kept a secret. He says again and again that he has a right to his own privacy (464,468,480,489). But in keeping his secret, he has strained his tie with the human community. He misunderstands the most fundamental principle of brotherhood: that we are all guilty before one another. The shame and pride that moved him to keep his secret got in the way of Love. And that was his undoing. It makes me wonder: what other secrets contributed to this awful deed?

Software Success Has India Worried
By SARITHA RAI
Published: February 13, 2003
BOMBAY, Feb. 12 — Is the United States going to start turning its back on outsourcing, the lifeblood of India's software and services industry?
The global economic downturn and possible war with Iraq are, of course, big concerns for industry executives, who are gathered here this week for an annual industry conference to meet with analysts, consultants and the chief information officers from American corporations, their most important customers. But the growing threat of a political reaction against outsourcing is the worry dominating the discussion.
So far, the only concrete signs of a reaction are in the public sector. After the eFunds Corporation of Scottsdale, Ariz., a contractor hired by the State of New Jersey to manage a welfare and food-stamp program, moved its customer-service operations to Bombay from Wisconsin, a New Jersey legislator, Shirley K. Turner, introduced a bill that would require that workers hired under state contracts be American citizens or legal aliens or they occupy some specialty niche that American workers cannot be found to fill. " `I say it's time to bring 'em back from Bombay,' Senator Turner said of the client service jobs currently based in India," a news release stated.
Connecticut, Maryland, Wisconsin, and Missouri have also begun considering such laws.
Though public-sector work directly accounts for only a tiny part of India's software and services exports to the United States, executives here are concerned about a chilling effect, with American customers reluctant to send work overseas lest it complicate dealings with government bodies.
The $10 billion software and services industry is hugely important to India. It has so far grown robustly despite the broader slowdown in technology spending, as more Western companies, especially American ones, cut expensive jobs at home and contract out software development and support, call-center operations and other functions to low-cost suppliers in India and elsewhere. By 2008 the Indian government expects the industry to account for about 8 percent of all economic output, up from 2.87 percent now.
More than half the world's top 500 companies, including General Electric and American Express , outsource work to India.
To supply the demand, Indian companies like the Bangalore-based Infosys Technologies and Wipro , and Tata Consultancy Services, or T.C.S., of Bombay, part of the Tata conglomerate, have been hiring by the hundreds, bucking the generally sluggish global trend. Revenue from software and services exports from India were $6.9 billion in the last three quarters of 2002, up 28 percent from the period in 2001, according to data released Tuesday by the National Association of Software and Services Companies. The association, known as Nasscom, organized this week's conference.
The legislation being considered in several states has software and services executives worried that American opposition to outsourcing in India is growing. They worry that regardless of whether such laws are enacted, the sentiment will spread. It may, they fear, slow companies' decisions to outsource — and perhaps even encourage them to send work to other countries.
India's exporters are divided over whether such legislation should be challenged at the World Trade Organization. "Legislation banning contracts from going abroad is a nontariff barrier, and we are exploring the possibility of countering this at the W.T.O.," Nasscom's president, Kiran Karnik, said.
But some leading companies with large American corporations among their customers said that the job loss issue was emotional and was best underplayed.
Even within Nasscom, a division was evident this morning at a session on global technology trends. When one panelist, E. Jeffrey Berg, executive director of Citigroup Program Management, brought up the proposed New Jersey legislation, Som Mittal, vice chairman of Nasscom and chief executive of Digital GlobalSoft, an Indian subsidiary of Hewlett-Packard , cut in, saying that even a discussion would sensationalize the issue.
Nasscom has recently engaged the public relations firm Hill & Knowlton to work with businesses and politicians in the United States to counter the opposition toward outsourcing to India and to increase the global brand equity of the Indian software industry.
While in the past there has been opposition in the United States to moving manufacturing jobs overseas, those moves primarily affected blue-collar workers. Now, the jobs of white-collar workers are on the line. "This is the vocal, articulate middle class who form an important constituency of every political party," Mr. Karnik said.
Nasscom said it was campaigning to show how Indian software and services exporters were helping the American economy to be more effective. In a letter to the governor of New Jersey, Nasscom said its preliminary data indicated that outsourcing to India gave American banks a 10 percent to 20 percent cost advantage over their European peers and resulted in an $8 billion savings for the banking industry in the last four years.

Genital Herpes Vaccine Misses the Mark
Jan 4, 2012 -- It's back to the drawing board for researchers seeking to develop a vaccine that protects against genital herpes.
Earlier studies of the vaccine were promising, but the new report shows that an experimental genital herpes shot was only mildly effective against herpes type 1 (HSV-1) -- which commonly causes cold sores and sometimes genital herpes -- and not effective at all against herpes type 2 (HSV-2), the most common cause of genital herpes.
Vaccine manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline provided some funding for the new study.
Herpes virus is typically transmitted through sexual or skin-to-skin contact. It can spread even when the infected person has no symptoms. Infants born to women with herpes infections can contract herpes. HSV-1 is a growing cause of genital herpes in college students and young heterosexual women. This is why it is crucial that any vaccine protects against both HSV-1 and HSV-2.
More than 50 million adults in the U.S. have genital herpes, and up to 1.6 million new infections occur each year, according to the American Social Health Association.
The new study included more than 8,300 women ages 18 to 30 who were free of the herpes virus. Women received three doses of the new vaccine or a vaccine against hepatitis A, a virus that causes liver inflammation. Women were tracked for 20 months to see if the shot prevented herpes infection or disease.
The new vaccine was somewhat effective against HSV-1, but did not prevent infection with HSV-2, the new study showed. The findings appear in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Still Looking for Answers
Researchers remain puzzled about why it didn't work well. Previous studies with more positive results were conducted among couples in which one partner was infected and the other was not. This may play a role in why the results don't match up.
"This is not the final vaccine," says researcher Robert B. Belshe, MD. He is a professor of medicine, pediatrics, and molecular microbiology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine in Missouri.
The new study shows that it may be possible to develop a vaccine against HSV-1 and HSV-2, he says, but the next step is to determine why it was less effective at preventing HSV-2 than HSV-1.

This course may still be open to international applicants for 2016 entry. Please visit our international pages for details of courses and application procedures from now until the end of August.
This course reflects the growing interest in and importance of China in the global economy. At the end of your course, you will have a thorough knowledge of economic theory and how it is applied to the real world, coupled with an in-depth understanding of contemporary China.
If you have chosen to study Mandarin, your language skills will be at degree level. You will also be familiar with the key analytical techniques that economists use in practice. Employers will value your understanding of these concepts and techniques as well as your specialist knowledge of the Chinese economy.
Economics modules form two-thirds of the degree and the remainder is made up of modules in Chinese studies. Study of the Mandarin language is popular but purely optional.
In your first year you will cover the foundations of microeconomics and macroeconomics, and will choose between econometrics or quantitative economics, depending on your mathematical ability. For the Chinese studies element of this course, you will study full-year specialist modules in this area as well as taking optional modules relating to the history, politics, culture and literature of China.
During your second year, you will build on your knowledge of microeconomics and macroeconomics and strengthen your knowledge of either econometrics or quantitative economics. Two-thirds of this year will focus on economics, and the remainder will develop your language skills and your understanding of contemporary China.
You can choose to take your first semester at The University of Nottingham Ningbo China, deepening your experience of Chinese culture while taking the same modules as your counterparts back in Nottingham. View more information about studying abroad.
Your final year is made up of a wide selection of optional modules on economics and contemporary Chinese studies, including Mandarin. A minimum of 60 credits are taken from the list of modules available in economics, and the remainder from Chinese studies modules, which includes a dissertation in the discipline.
Kay Li talks about the variety of study opportunities offered by her degree.
A levels: A*AA-AAA not including general studies (A*ABB for those taking four full A levels and completing them in the same year)
GCSEs: An A in GCSE maths is the absolute minimum requirement for all economics courses unless you are taking AS or A level maths

This module intends to provide the fundamental knowledge of China's economic transformation and business development. It assists students to establish an understanding of issues including economic strategies, industrial sector transformation, investment, trade and business management.
The educational aims of this module are to:
This module focuses on a range of current issues facing the world economy, seeks to illustrate how economists model such issues, and examines potential policy responses. Example topics to be covered are:
This module aims to:
Macroeconomics is the study of the aggregate economy. This module will focus on the determinants of aggregate output, both in the short run - addressing cyclical movements of booms and busts - and in the long run - providing an introduction to economic growth.
A running theme will be debates over the role of the government in macroeconomic management, covering fiscal and monetary policy. The module will introduce a series of basic models used in modern macroeconomics.
This module begins by analysing how the economic choices of households and firms can be understood using consumer and producer theory. It then looks at how these individual choices are aggregated into market demand and supply to be mediated through the price mechanism.
A variety of market settings are considered, ranging from the paradigm of perfect competition to strategic interactions in oligopolistic markets. The module concludes by providing an introduction to the normative evaluation of economic outcomes in terms of individuals' welfare, covering both market and government failures.
This is an introductory course designed to provide students with an overview of contemporary China and help students establish a foundation of knowledge and skills to pursue more advanced studies of China in their later years of study. The module examines the following topics since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, though particular attention is paid to the changes in China since 1978.
On completion of this module, students will:
The module is intended to provide an introduction to mathematical techniques used in economics. In particular, examples of economic issues that can be analysed using mathematical models will be discussed in detail. Particular attention will be given to providing an intuitive understanding of the logic behind the formal results presented. Students who wish to pursue a higher degree in economics will find the module particularly useful.
Plus optional modules taken from other schools.
This module introduces students to the economics of integration. The module analyses the consequences for countries seeking closer economic integration through successively more ambitious forms. This begins with a limited trade arrangement, followed by a common market, which also allows free movement of capital and migrant workers, and a Single Market. The final part of the module examines monetary integration, beginning with exchange rate stabilisation and then considering Monetary Union.
This module introduces students to the economics of integration. It analyses the economic rationale for, and practice of, policy co-ordination and harmonisation both at the European and at a global level. An examination of the economic rationale for common EU policies is followed by an analysis of such examples as the common agricultural, trade and regional policies, and the operation of the European Budget. At the global level cooperation in trade, finance and development policies is reviewed in relation to the operation of institutions such as the World Trade Organisation, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
This module is intended as a foundation for the understanding of modern economic theories and policies. It is concerned with:
As will be discovered, the 21st century Western views of everyday economic concepts such as ownership, money, exchange, work, poverty, industrialisation, economic growth and government are quite different from those expressed at other times and in other places.
In this module, we will explore the long-run, historical determinants of the wealth of nations. We will begin by taking a long-run view on modern economic growth, showing how this has led to dramatic changes in the relative wealth of nations over the last 500 years. We will then ask two key questions: why have modern economic growth started in some places rather than others? And while have some countries been able to catch up, while others have not? These investigations will improve our understanding of why are some countries much richer than others, and will give us some important insights on how to promote sustained growth in developing countries.
The module draws on a vibrant new literature in economics that looks at comparative development as the outcome of a long historical process, and uses techniques originally developed in economics to improve our understanding of history.
This module will address both the fundamental and applied aspects of macroeconomic theory. In particular, the module will focus on:
The module will review the so-called modern approach to aggregate demand and aggregate supply. This entails incorporating into the classical approach to aggregate supply and aggregate demand insights from Keynesian economics. This will serve as a base to discuss the role of macro-policy in controlling for fluctuations in output and employment.
Intermediate microeconomics including general equilibrium analysis, welfare economics, elementary game theory, and strategic behaviour of firms.
This module generalises and builds upon the econometric techniques covered in the Year I module, Introductory Econometrics. This will involve introducing a number of new statistical and econometric concepts, together with some further development of the methodology that was introduced in Year I. The multivariate linear regression model will again provide our main framework for analysis.
This module emphasises sociological theories of family and society with reference to China. Topics include:
The aim of this module is to provide an introduction to the socio-economic aspects of China. The module objectives are to develop an understanding of contemporary Chinese society, its social structures and the effects of economic reform upon these, and to generate a familiarity with the main sources of information concerning China.
Students will apply relevant theoretical frameworks to the analysis of social issues in contemporary China and analyse evidence on these issues.
A general introduction to the economic problems of developing countries. The module will cover such topics as:
The module aims to:
This modules will look at the following:
The modules aims to look at environmental issues from an economic perspective and provide an overview of the economic tools that are used to address environmental problems.
This module provides a foundation in behavioural economics and the role of experimental methods in economics. The traditional approach in economics is to explain market outcomes and economic decision-making using simple theoretical models based on perfectly rational, self-interested agents who maximise their well-being by carefully weighing up the costs and benefits of different alternatives. Behavioural economics, on the other hand, aspires to relax these stringent assumptions and develop an understanding of how real people actually make decisions. The module will introduce students to behavioural and experimental economics, discuss these fields from a methodological perspective and examine several areas of economic analysis in which they are applied. This will include individual choice under risk and uncertainty, decision-making in strategic situations and competition in markets.
This module will begin by introducing some theoretical concepts related to the functioning of financial markets. Then it will apply these concepts in three main areas; namely consumer finance, corporate finance and financial intermediation.
This module provides an economic analysis of the theory and practice of organization of firms and industries. It explores the nature of competition among firms and their behaviour in various markets, with the specific emphasis on imperfectly competitive markets. Tools for both empirical and theoretical approaches to the analysis of industries are covered. Starting from a detailed analysis of market structures, the module goes on to discuss various aspects of firms' behaviour and their influence on market outcome. Among the behaviours covered in the module are price discrimination, vertical integration, advertising, research and development activities and entry and exit of firms. Government regulation of industries is also discussed.
This module is an introduction to international trade theory and policy. It covers the core trade theories under perfect and imperfect competition and applies them to understanding the pattern of trade, gains from trade and modern topics like foreign outsourcing. On the policy side, it examines the effects of different government trade policy instruments and the role of international trade agreements.
This module is concerned with the effect of political and institutional factors on economic variables as well as with the study of politics using the techniques of economics.
This module provides an introduction to the economics of the labour market. We will look at some basic theories of how labour markets work and examine evidence to see how well these theories explain the facts. Particular attention will be given to the relationship between the theory, empirical evidence and government policy. The module will refer especially to the UK labour market, but reference will also be made to other developed economies.
The module aims to:
Mandarin modules are available from beginners' (Level 1) to research (Level 5). Students are assessed and placed at the appropriate level of study.
Please note: Native speakers of Mandarin will take Advanced English for Disciplinary Study modules instead of Mandarin.
Module content is as follows:
The aim of this module is to build on the practical language experiences gained previously, to consolidate and extend vocabulary, to increase comprehension, to reinforce grammatical accuracy and to develop a fluent command of written and spoken Mandarin Chinese.
This course will provide a foundation for the monetary economics modules in the third year and is a complement to financial economics for the second and third years. It will cover topics such as the definitions and role of money, portfolio choice, financial markets and banks, central banks and monetary policy, and the monetary transmission mechanism. Under these headings the module will address issues of theory, policy and practice relating to recent experience in the UK and other countries. The module will feature some current debates and controversies based on recent events.
his module looks at Public finances in the UK, Market Failures, Fundamental Theorems of Welfare Economics, Social Welfare Functions, Externalities, Public Goods, Natural Monopolies, Public Choice, Social Insurance: Social Security, Taxation and Equity, Excess Burden of Taxation and Tax Incidence.
Plus a selection of modules from a wide range options, including Mandarin.
Adopts a broad focus on factors influencing growth and development. Topics covered include: macroeconomic policies, aid, debt, trade; growth experiences in East Asia, China and Africa.
The specific aims to this module are to:
This module generalises and builds upon the econometric techniques applied to the multivariate linear regression model covered in the year two module, Econometrics I. This will involve introducing a number of new statistical and econometric concepts. In particular we study large sample, or asymptotic, theory. This is needed in order to obtain tractable results about the behaviour of estimators when the standard modelling assumptions - which frequently cannot be verified in practice - are relaxed. We also extend the analysis from a single equation model to simultaneous equation models.
There are three specific aims for this module are to:
This module covers the following:
The module aims to look at natural resource use from an economic perspective and provide an overview of the economic tools that are used to address resource management and energy policy issues.
The module complements the existing second year module Experimental Economics I. Its objective is to provide a broader review of the emerging discipline of experimental economics.
The aims of the module are to:
This module examines issues related to the impact of financial frictions on the financial system and the economy. Potential topics include:
The module will also examine the transmission of shocks from the financial system to the macroeconomy and discuss relevant policies.
The primary aims of the module are to:
The module covers an economic analysis of the labour market, with an emphasis on policy implications and institutional arrangements.
The module examines some current issues in labour economics paying particular attention to worker compensation schemes, and the effect different compensation packages have on firm productivity and profits.
The module focuses on the UK labour market, and includes both a theoretical and empirical content throughout.
Part I
Part II
This module follows important developments in Macroeconomics over the last 30 years. The main objective is to provide a broad overview of the field at an advanced level.
The module is intended to provide an introduction to mathematical techniques used in economics. In particular, examples of economic issues that can be analysed using mathematical models will be discussed in detail. Particular attention will be given to providing an intuitive understanding of the logic behind the formal results presented. Students who wish to pursue a higher degree in economics will find the module particularly useful.
There are three main aims for this module and they are to:
The module will cover topics in advanced microeconomics and decision theory.
This module aims to develop students' understanding of microeconomic theory with particular emphasis on showing the role information plays in markets. The material allows students to build on their prior learning in microeconomics.
This module will provide an outline of the elements of monetary theory and of theoretical policy issues. The module will begin with the nature of a monetary economy and will examine the characteristics of a classical monetary model. We will then consider the modifications offered by the Walrasians, Keynesians and the Monetarist, and the treatment of money as a financial asset in a liquidity spectrum will be covered in the lectures on portfolio theory. A guest lecture by a senior staff member from the Bank of England will explain how monetary policy is implemented each month by the monetary policy committee.
The objectives will be to cover each element of monetary economics in self-contained modules of lectures.
This module will provide an introduction to international monetary issues, including the determination of exchange rates, the functioning of the international monetary system, and international macroeconomic policy co-ordination. The first part of the module deals with fixed exchange rates, explaining the consequences of a fixed parity for monetary, fiscal and external policy. The second part deals with floating exchange rates and the market forces, which arbitrage away differentials in goods and asset prices across international borders.
The objectives include an understanding of the exchange rate markets, exchange rate policy, balance of payments and international monetary arrangements.
The module will introduce some major themes of public economics, using microeconomic tools to analyse public policy. The equity and efficiency implications of policies will be examined within an economic framework.
The first part of this module aims to introduce students to some of the important concepts and techniques required to identify the limits of what markets can achieve, and to evaluate the potential for benevolent government intervention to achieve better outcomes.
The second part questions some fundamental assumptions of the previous part:
This module is a continuation of the module on time series analysis taken in the second semester of the second year. While the earlier module was devoted to basic time series model building methodology, applicable over a broad range of disciplines, the present module concentrates on those developments which can be applied in the subject of Economics. In particular, the emphasis will be on aspects of the behaviour of typical economic time series, and the implications of that behaviour in practical analysis, such as the construction of models linking economic time series.
This module will cover the following:
This module provides an advanced economic analysis of the theory of organisation of firms and industries. It will analyse a variety of market structures related to the degree of market competition with a special emphasis on imperfectly competitive markets. It will also analyse issues related to the internal organisation of firms.
The specific aims of the module are to:
This module looks at:
Static numerical methods
Dynamic numerical optimization

FEVER BARK Overview Information
Fever bark is the bark of the Alstonia tree. People use it to make medicine.
Despite serious safety concerns, fever bark is used for fever, high blood pressure, diarrhea, joint and muscle pain (rheumatism), and malaria. It is also used as a stimulant.
How does it work?
Fever bark contains chemicals that can lower blood pressure.
FEVER BARK Uses & Effectiveness
Insufficient Evidence for:
- Fever.
- High blood pressure.
- Diarrhea.
- Malaria.
- Joint and muscle pain (rheumatism).
- Use as a stimulant.
- Other conditions.
FEVER BARK Side Effects & Safety
Fever bark seems to be UNSAFE. It contains chemicals that can cause side effects such as stuffy nose, irritability, allergic reactions, eye problems, kidney problems, depression, and psychotic reactions. Large doses can cause heart problems and death.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Fever bark seems to be UNSAFE. Avoid using it. It might harm you and your baby.
Depression: Some of the chemicals in fever bark might make depression worse.
Stomach ulcers: Some of the chemicals in fever bark might make stomach ulcers worse.
Schizophrenia: Some of the chemicals in fever bark might cause a psychotic episode.
Surgery: Fever bark acts like a stimulant. There is some concern that it might interfere with surgery by increasing heart rate and blood pressure. Stop using fever bark at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.
FEVER BARK Interactions
Major Interaction Do not take this combination
- Medications used during surgery (Anesthesia) interacts with FEVER BARK
Fever bark contains a chemical called reserpine. Taking reserpine along with medications used for surgery can cause heart problems. Be sure to tell your doctor what natural products you are taking before having surgery. You should stop taking fever bark at least two weeks before surgery.
- Naloxone (Narcan) interacts with FEVER BARK
Fever bark contains a chemical that can affect the brain. This chemical is called yohimbine. Naloxone also affects the brain. Taking naloxone with yohimbine might increase the chance of side effects such as anxiety, nervousness, trembling, and hot flashes.
Moderate Interaction Be cautious with this combination
- Phenothiazines interacts with FEVER BARK
Fever bark contains a chemical called yohimbine. Some phenothiazines have effects similar to yohimbine. Taking fever bark and phenothiazines together might increase the effects and side effects of yohimbine.
Some phenothiazines include chlorpromazine (Thorazine), fluphenazine (Prolixin), trifluoperazine (Stelazine), thioridazine (Mellaril), and others.
- Stimulant drugs interacts with FEVER BARK
Stimulant drugs speed up the nervous system. By speeding up the nervous system, stimulant medications can make you feel jittery and speed up your heartbeat. Fever bark might also speed up the nervous system. Taking fever bark along with stimulant drugs might cause serious problems including increased heart rate and high blood pressure. Avoid taking stimulant drugs along with fever bark.
Some stimulant drugs include diethylpropion (Tenuate), epinephrine, phentermine (Ionamin), pseudoephedrine (Sudafed), and many others.
FEVER BARK Dosing
The appropriate dose of fever bark depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and several other conditions. At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for fever bark. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.

3 Things I Learned While Making Corsican Beef Stew
1: My grocery store has dried mushrooms. All evidence indicates that they have always carried dried mushrooms. And a variety too. They put them by some fancy crouton looking things and bottles of lemon and lime juice. (check it out, you guys- I'm reconstituting mushrooms for crying out loud!):
2: The cookbook I am using was published in the UK. It took me awhile to figure out that courgettes weren't a new vegetable I'd never eaten. And now I know what passata is. Sort of. I hope to impress someone at a dinner party in the near future with my new trivial knowledge. (Now accepting dinner invitations).
3: Vermouth isn't just for my (extra dry, very dirty filthy) martinis. Vermouth, as it turns out, is a type of dry white wine and comes in handy in Mediterranean cooking when the cook (in this case, me) is steadfast in her allegiance to red wine. Vermouth can be placed in the refridgerator and lasts at least a month (much longer than buying a bottle of white wine that no one would otherwise drink). This also means that the bottle of Vermouth you have in your liquor cabinent from 2002 should probably be given a heartfelt but firm farewell.
No verdict on the actual stew yet. I'm getting better at thoroughly reading the ingredients required for recipes but I still need work on reading the length of time a recipe will take to cook. Turns out this stew takes over 3 hours. Dinner should be ready right around midnight tonight. Meanwhile, it smells so delicious, we'll end up eating peanut butter sandwiches to stave off the aroma-induced hunger pangs.

Ain't Nothin' but a Chow Hound
By Liz Smith
Published: November 10, 2002
During the recent orgy of Elvis mania that afflicted the press and public on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the icon's death, I searched in vain for intimations and remembrances of Elvis that held meaning for me. Learning that 7 percent of Americans believe Elvis is yet alive and that his estate earns $35 million a year, I was still left unsatisfied, for nowhere did anyone mention the Presley impact on our continuing craze for the kind of all-American food we are told we should leave alone.
Everyone has read recently of how overweight we all are and about how some people plan to sue McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken for their own addictions, as they did the tobacco companies. Diet-guilty, we watch with our tongues hanging out as the current crop of celebrity anorexics slip into the Emmys and Oscars in dresses that barely cover their vitals. These latter lovelies obviously have never been hit with the scent of boiling lard; the fragrance of ripe banana mashed with peanut butter and marshmallow; snap green beans and little new potatoes bubbling in water flavored with bacon grease or hog jowl; the flowery heat of beaten buttermilk biscuits smothered under cream gravy paste; the crispy curl of chicken or chicken-fried steak (Elvis called this ''ugly steak''); the nutty smell of overladen coconut cakes; the overwhelming cloud from homemade buttered popcorn (nothing like what emanates from modern cineplexes).
In other words, they are immune to Elvis, the Elvis that counts, not the king of rock 'n' roll but the master of every fattening thing he desired. Elvis led a life in which he snacked without guilt. Although he never heard of it, he lived to the max the Greek philosophy eudaemonia, meaning ''human flourishing.'' As part of his legacy he inspired several cookbooks -- ''Are You Hungry Tonight,'' ''Fit for a King: The Elvis Presley Cookbook,'' ''The Presley Family Cookbook'' (not to be confused with ''The Presley Family and Friends Cookbook: A Cookbook and Memory Book From Those Who Knew Elvis Best''), ''The I Love Elvis Cookbook,'' ''Elvis in Hollywood'' and (the one I love best and keep in my library) ''The Life and Cuisine of Elvis Presley.''
I don't really mind that Elvis has left the building. (He and Marilyn Monroe would have made simply horrifying old people. It's better for them -- and for us -- that they are gone.) But when I think of Elvis living, and roaming those overwrought rooms in Graceland, I find myself transported like Marcel Proust in ''Remembrance of Things Past.'' Elvis himself is my madeleine, that tea-soaked bit of cake that took the author back to his Aunt Léonie and childhood at Combray. The mere mention of Elvis is enough to set off a mnemonic combination that takes me straight to the food of my childhood. (And my adulthood, when I can get it!) You needn't make fun of this. In The New York Times's ''Books of the Century,'' the writer Rose Lee assays that this shift to another scene at an instant's notice ''justifies M. Proust in dilating upon the most minute occurrences, so long as he maintains the air of spontaneous recollection.''
''It injects dignity into otherwise trivial perceptions,'' she continues. ''It is a constant means of affirming Proust's belief in the essentially subjective nature of human experience.''
I don't expect I can inject any dignity into the Elvis diet, but I don't see any difference between Proust's madeleine, allegedly named for Madeleine Paulmier, a 19th-century pastry cook, and my Elvis-of-the-demanding-short-orders-to-his-cook Pauline Nicholson.
On a recent vacation on Martha's Vineyard, I dragged with me only two books: Benita Eisler's life of Lord Byron, which weighed a ton and which I read with overwhelming pleasure, and the aforesaid, rather high-toned ''Cuisine'' title, by David Adler. I needed the latter as an antidote to all the rare tuna, seared swordfish, dandelion green salads and other healthy offerings that came with the uncorking of vintage bottled water. I would retire to bed with Lord Byron, entertain myself with his bad behavior for a while and then put myself to sleep reading Elvis recipes.
Sometimes I would daydream, wondering what Elvis would have thought of a dessert trifle sent me by my brother Bobby for Fried Snickers bars. Or I'd suddenly remember going to the local Dairy Creme in Gonzales, Tex., and asking for a Frito pie. The boy in the paper hat would seize a bag of Frito-Lay's best, slash the side open, pour hot Texas chili over the insides, hand me a plastic spoon and ask for 50 cents. Quick, cheap, crunchy, hot with fire and pepper and totally satisfying.
I'm not the only one sitting in fine restaurants these days unable to find a single thing listed that I really want to eat. I recall that the author James Dickey opined, ''Here is supper.'' He wrote of black-eyed peas with ham hock, fried okra, country cornbread, sweet potato pie. ''You talk of supping with the gods. You've just done it, for who but a god could have come up with the divine fact of okra?''

I'm a person that loves choices, especially when it comes to my web browser. Even back when I was younger I was a Netscape kid, then again I was a Mac kid too. Nowadays I use Firefox, and I've got no complaints. I know that many people are starting to turn to Opera, so much so that the guys over at Heliocity have hacked the Ocean to support their favorite browser.
While the hack isn't the easiest to perform, and it has its fair share of bugs (for instance the QWERTY keyboard doesn't work), it's a huge deal that they've accomplished this much.
For now, I think I'll hold off on attempting this on my own Ocean. Once they get the whole QWERTY keyboard support down I'll probably try my hand at it. I've really got no issues with the current browser (I don't do that much surfing on my Ocean) but I do like to have choices.

You need to associate WMMP with the file types you want it to be used for.
It does not come with SM.

Toby and his movie co-stars, including Kelly Preston and Lindsey Haun, strolled the red carpet and waved to the hundreds of fans who lined Nashville's 5th Avenue to get a glimpse of the country superstar. Toby himself, clad entirely in black, made a grand entrance from a shiny Ford F–150. Industry insiders, media, contest-winning fans and fellow stars like Chely Wright packed the Ryman for the premiere showing of the film, which marked Toby's acting debut.
Toby stars as a fallen country singer who must return to his hometown, where he meets his teenage daughter, played by Lindsey, for the first time. The crowd applauded the musical numbers, especially Toby's duet with Lindsey on the film's track "Broken." They cheered loudest for Toby's big action scene, where he pummels the young man who assaulted his daughter. Broken Bridges hits selected theaters starting Friday, Sept. 8.

Savings Rates Over Time
In his post yesterday, Richard talked about the remarkable decline in savings rates over the years. Inspired by this, I visited the St. Louis Fed's website where they have an excellent graphing tool that lets you visualize the savings rate over time.
Below you can see a graph of savings rates in the US from 1959 to present. That's the widest interval for which data were available.
As you can see, savings rates climbed from roughly 7.5% in 1959-1960 to 10% or more in the early to mid-1970s. But in the early 1980s things began to change as savings rates started to trend downward.
Yes, there have been some short-term reversals, primarily during recessions, but nothing sustained. And even when rates jumped back up during the Great Recession, they only made it back to mid-90s levels, around 5% (give or take).
But does that change look like it will last? Not to me. It looks like things are starting to trend downward once again.
Is this surprising? Not really. Given that the Federal Reserve has been working so hard to keep interest rates down, there's not much incentive to save — at least not in a savings account. And borrowing is dirt cheap.
So, where to from here? My best guess is that savings rates will stay in the sub-5% range. The 2007-2009 bump was just an anomaly. But that's all it is. A guess.
What do you think? Will savings rates rebound? If so, when? And what will drive the recovery? I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

My guess is the same as yours–US savings rates will stay below 5%, mostly. I don't know why, but seems more and more people simply cannot forgo current consumption in favor of future consumption.
If my cash + credit is more than what something costs, then I can afford it, NOW, right?

It would be interesting to look at the savings rate in Canada and see if Canada's Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSA) had any effects. TFSA seems like a great way to encourage people to save, and I wish the U.S. would start the same program.

I think it's going to be a good few years before we see it come anywhere near 5% levels. I would love to see 10% levels again. Out of interest it would be awesome to overlay inflation rates on this
4Kevin R. Says:

I think it will rise, counter to the incentives. Millennials and Gen-Y are emerging in tough times and seen some articles about them already saving at higher rates and Boomers are entering into retirement and thrift opposed consumption seems to be the tone of those articles. Gen-X will probably remain fiercely independent and all over the map, thus not skewing the trend data much — It should be noted that 1990 saving rates were also against the incentives (5% passbook savings, 7% secured loan ['91], 8.32% mortgage ['95], all with low inflation rates).
5Mike Says:

With the way our country is being managed right now, I cannot see savings rates increasing at all anytime soon. It makes me wonder why more people don't opt for a money market or a safe blue chip investment. Those options almost guarantee that you beat the rate of return that you'd receive from a savings account.
6DCGuy Says:

What always has scared me about these low savings rates is that, for every extreme saver like those who read this blog, there must be many people with zero or negative savings. My family saves about 25% of pre-tax income, which may be low for this site.
7Alan@escapingmydebt Says:

Regardless of the saving rates, I would still suggest an emergency fund. Other than that, I do not see a recovery any time soon. I think our economy is in such a fragile state that any increase to rates could cause another recession. I know this may ruffle some feathers but I do not see a recovery in the next four years. Most of my investment is going into my 401k where I have been averaging almost 7% over 1 year, 9.3% over 3 years and 6.6% over the past 5 years. Not as good as they used to be, but still better than a savings account.

Whether saving and spending tendencies are environmental or not, there's a certain culture outside of the home that can't be controlled. Some children with painfully frugal parents will emulate those habits as adults. Others will grow up and do the exact opposite, refusing to save the dollar they need tomorrow. Believe me, I've met both. As someone mentioned in the previous article, it seems to depend on how the individual internalizes their financial and cultural situation, and whether they choose to emulate or reject those ideals.

According to the Feds the interest rates won't go up until at least mid 2015. After all, the banks have to use our money to make back what they lost during the morgage crisis! Great system we have! Let the poor senior citizens who depend on the interest to eat suffer!
10BG Says:
March 14th, 2013 at 11:06 pm
Not sure it is all doom and gloom. The fed doesn't count accelerated debt payments as "saving", but I do. If I throw an extra $1k in a low yield bank account, it is "saving". If instead I throw the extra $1k towards paying off my mortgage faster, the fed does not count that as "saving".
Either way, I've increased my networth by $1k. I think the graph is just a representation of the low interest savings accounts today…money is better "saved" elsewhere.

Inflation is killing consumers and their spending power. They cannot afford to save – as paychecks no longer stretch the way they used to.
12Insurance Hunter Says:

Plain and simple – people need to save more money or they are going to get themselves in trouble later in life. While saving can be a challenge given today's economic circumstance, people need to be more disciplined and get their spending in order.

Personally, I think you should attack the highest interest rate first. That higher interest rate would be driving me crazy. I accept that maybe other people would be more motivated to get rid of a bill first, but this method takes longer. Otherwise it sounds like a good plan. Thanks for sharing.

As the American workforce ages and becomes more diverse, employers will need to adopt new recruitment, hiring and staff development strategies to ensure they are able to source and retain talented employees. Mentoring programs play an essential role in fostering this process.
What is Mentoring?
Mentoring is a personnel enhancement strategy that pairs employees to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and skills.
Mentors share known resources, expertise, organizational history, values, skills, perspectives, attitudes and proficiencies with mentees. This allows mentees to quickly ramp up, and build skills and knowledge while attaining career development goals. It also provides the opportunity for mentors to further enhance their own skill and knowledge areas.
As the composition of the workforce changes and employees retire in large numbers, organizations will need to develop long-term plans for knowledge transfer and career development.
What are the Benefits of Mentoring?
Mentoring can have a wide-range of positive impacts on employees and organizations.
Organizational benefits of mentoring include:
- Increased organizational diversity
- Creation of a welcoming and inclusive workplace culture
- Reduced turnover
- Transfer of organizational knowledge
- Increased preparedness for workforce turnover, especially in high level positions
Employee benefits of mentoring include:
- A structured way for new employees to get acquainted with the organization
- Easier transitions into the workplace and to new positions
- Increased self-awareness and self-discipline
- Expanded leadership abilities and understanding of diverse workers
- Increased technical skills and enhanced opportunities for career advancement
- New opportunities to share ideas, try new skills and take risks
- Enhanced capacity to translate values and strategies into productive actions
- Improved awareness of personal biases, assumptions and identification of areas for improvement
- Extended collaboration among employees from different generations and cultural backgrounds
