Jobs: "Google's don't be evil mantra is bullshit"
Some much for the friendly way Google and Apple have worked side by side over the past years. When Eric Schmidt was still part of the Apple board you wouldn't hear a single harsh word coming out of either company towards the other. Ever since Google decided to enter the phone business, and with that become a competitor of Apple, however all bets are off.
In a talk after the Apple keynote in which Steve Jobs announced the iPad the Apple boss decided to not take mince and speak his mind. He was fierce about his former partners in crime: "This don't be evil mantra: It's bullshit."
Jobs was pretty clear about how he felt about Google launching their Android platform and growing in the mobile market:
"We did not enter the search business. They entered the phone business. Make no mistake they want to kill the iPhone. We won't let them."
According to Wired magazine Jobs also fired at Adobe while explaining why there is no flash on the iPad:
"They are lazy. They have all this potential to do interesting things but they just refuse to do it. They don't do anything with the approaches that Apple is taking, like Carbon. Apple does not support Flash because it is so buggy, he says. Whenever a Mac crashes more often than not it's because of Flash. No one will be using Flash. The world is moving to HTML5."

|Cato Policy Analysis No. 87
|June 2, 1987
by Thomas M. Magstadt
Thomas M. Magstadt is chairman of the political science depart- ment at Kearney State College.
Executive Summary
Are winds of change sweeping across the Eurasian landscape? Or are the reforms occurring in the People's Republic of China, the Soviet Union, and Eastern Europe merely gentle breezes, strong enough to stir the interest of the West but unlikely to uproot the economic structures of the East? It seems likely that the allure of the marketplace, evident in several Eastern European states for decades now, will become increasingly irresistible to all but the most incorrigibly Stalinist regimes throughout the communist world.
A closely related (perhaps even inseparable) question is whether, or to what extent, economic liberalization in China and the Soviet bloc will lead to democratization. Moreover, what impact will those nations' internal political and economic reforms have on international politics, particularly relations between the East and the West?
For the East, the growth of "market Marxism" has potentially far-reaching implications, not least because of the intimate relationship between politics and the economy. In adopting market-oriented reforms, Communist party leaders are sailing into uncharted waters. How far can economic reforms go, they must ask, without creating popular demand for political rights? Allowing pockets of capitalism to develop and grow is bound to bring into being an entrepreneurial class whose interests are at odds with those of a privileged party elite determined to perpetuate its power monopoly.
The dilemma that Communist party leaders face can be expressed as a paradox: the more effective the economic reforms (measured by the commercial success of the new or renascent private sector), the shorter the likely life span of the Stalinist party-state. In the course of a recent assessment based on an extraordinary interview with Mikhail Gorbachev,
Heidi and Alvin Toffler--authors of The Third Wave and Future Shock--noted:
An advanced economy requires incessant technological innovation. But technological advance in today's world is ever more closely tied to culture and to social structure. To generate a lot of new ideas, even technological ideas, the system must permit the expression not simply of alternative scientific theories and hypotheses, but of "crazy" social notions, offbeat art, controversial economic theories, errors, and even ideological dissent.[1]
According to the Tofflers, that is why so many Soviet scientists favor glasnost (openness) and "want even more freedom."[2] That is also why "it will be necessary [for Soviet leaders] to think the apparently unthinkable--that many of the Soviet Union's most critical 'contradictions' arise from the monopoly of political power by a single party."[3]
For the West, the economic reform movements in the Soviet bloc and China hold out the prospect of unprecedented opportunities--not only for trade liberalization but also for progress in such areas as arms control and regional-conflict management. But the prospect is far from being a reality. The West's response could play a significant role in determining the pace and direction of the market-oriented programs now under way.
The following analysis is divided into four sections. Considered in the first and the second are the context and the content, respectively, of recent economic reforms in certain communist states; in the third, the inherent tension between individuals' economic rights and the collective ethos enshrined in Marxist-Leninist ideology and institutionalized in party rule; and in the fourth, the implications of the trend toward reform for U.S. foreign policy.

The look on Rick Cooper's face said it all.
Buffs vs. Tarleton
The Game: Tarleton State Texans (21-3 overall, 8-1 Lone Star Conference South Division) at West Texas A & M Buffaloes (19-6, 9-1), 8 tonight, First United Bank Center.
Radio: KGNC (710-AM), 7:50 p.m.
The West Texas A & M men's basketball coach was asked by a reporter just how good is No. 12 Tarleton State. Without speaking, Cooper's eyes seemed to be saying, 'Are you kidding?'
"They are plenty good," Cooper said. "Plenty good."
And so are Cooper's Buffs.
That's why at 8 tonight in the First United Bank Center the men's game of the year in the Lone Star Conference South Division unfolds with first place at stake.
WT is 9-1 in the South, the lone loss in overtime against Tarleton State, 76-74, at Stephenville on Jan. 23.
Since that loss, WT has rolled off six straight wins, the latest victory an impressive effort Wednesday at home against Texas A & M-Kingsville (69-51).
"It has been going good for us since the loss to Tarleton," said WT junior point guard Kyle Shields, who led the Buffs in scoring (14 points) and rebounding (9) against Kingsville. "I think everybody has learned their role and stuck to that role.
"This one is pretty much a battle for first place and will be a hard game. Hopefully, we can out on top."
WT post Andre Hill said rebounding will be a key.
"This is going to be a big matchup for us and we need to match Tarleton's intensity and we can't let them beat us on the boards," said Hill, who averages nine points a game and leads the LSC in shooting percentage at 62.3 (91-of-146). "We have to play hard. We got outrebounded by them last time. Now, we have a chance here, and we need our crowd to get us into this one."
Tarleton State (21-3, 8-1) holds the No. 1 spot in the ever-important South Central Regional rankings. The Buffs are fifth.
Tarleton outrebounded WT 40-30 in the first meeting, with 6-foot-5 junior forward Eric Williams pulling off a double-double with 25 points and 13 rebounds. WT guard Robert Lee, who averages a team-high 17.1 points per game, led the Buffs with 25.
"Like I said, Tarleton is really, really good," Cooper said. "It's an important game in conference play. We have to play well to have a chance to win."

text: Padua or better known to Italians as Padova has a population around 214, and is thought to be the oldest city in northern Italy. One of the main attractions is the waterways where most of the city can be viewed, alternately you can hire a car in Padua and visit the medieval old town which is lined with antique shops and restaurants. Padua square is one of the widest in Europe, and is also known as the "Campo Marzio". It is the social centre of the city. The square was built round the Zairo theatre and after the fall of Rome some of the remains still stand.

For more than two years, my snoring kept Laura awake most nights. It often got so loud that she used earplugs and buried her head under a pillow to escape the din.
Nothing worked, and we were both exhausted. I felt guilty for ruining her sleep, and I blamed her for disturbing mine when she roused me several times a night to shut me up.
Now I no longer snore and we both sleep better.
Each night for the last seven weeks, I have worn a breathing mask so air can be pumped through my nose and control my sleep apnea. I'm likely to wear it every night for the rest of my life.

It's anyone's guess if either of the Grand Valley State University seniors was successful in making an impression that leads to being a late-round NFL draft pick or, perhaps more likely, getting a free-agent offer from NFL teams following the draft next month.
"I'm just trying to get my name on the map and get a shot," Smolen said while participating in GVSU's annual pro day workout for NFL teams at the Laker Turf Building. "I'm out here trying to do as much as I can to market myself. It's been a dream of mine since I was a little kid to play in the NFL."
Smolen and McDonald are facing some long odds in pursuit of that shared dream.
It is up to these players from smaller NCAA Division II schools to prove to skeptical scouts they have the right stuff to compete at the professional level.
Smolen, a 5-foot-10, 200-pound all-purpose back, is just the fourth player in Division II history to accumulate 1,000 yards rushing, 1,000 yards receiving and 1,000 yards in kickoff returns. The question about him is whether he's big enough or fast enough to make it in the NFL.
He ran a 40-yard dash time of 4.55 seconds, according to the scouts' stopwatches. It's a good time, but not a great time.
"Since I'm this close, I'm just out there giving it my all. We'll see what happens," he said.
"It's disappointing," he said of not being able to go full speed in all of the drills. "You work out for eight or nine weeks to prepare for this one day. Then you get hurt."
McDonald had a private workout with the Kansas City Chiefs last week. He hopes to hear from them about a free-agent contract offer after the NFL draft.
"I worked out for the Chiefs and they told me that I helped myself. All you need is for one (scout) to like you. I'm fine with whatever happens," he said. "It's just about getting a shot."
If the NFL doesn't call, both have solid plans for the future.
Smolen is pursuing an education degree and plans to follow in his mother's footsteps as a special education teacher. McDonald, whose parents were both in the military, grew up as a self-professed "Army brat" and plans to join the Marines if the NFL doesn't happen for him.
The nearly 30 participants Monday included players from Ferris State, Grand Valley, Hillsdale, Northern Michigan, Northwood, Saginaw Valley State and Wayne State.
Wayne State running back Joique Bell of Benton Harbor, the 2009 Harlon Hill Trophy winner as the top player in Division II, showed up to run the 40-yard dash after posting an unimpressive time at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis last month. He didn't help himself, posting times of 4.63 and 4.68 seconds in his two attempts.

- "Fuckin' Perfect" is raw and heartwrenching. Who hasn't been that person? Not only the song, but the video for that song. The scene where the girl cuts herself can also be counted as Nightmare Fuel.
- "Who Knew" is a song that should make anyone who's thinking back on a loss they never expected cry. Especially knowing the story behind it - she wrote it for a guy friend of hers who died of a drug overdose when he was in high school.
- "Conversations With My 13-year-old Self". If you have or are going through a time in life where feels like nobody really understood you, then that song (which pretty much sums everything up) can seem as if it's speaking directly to you.
- The story behind the video for "Raise Your Glass." Pink's gay best friend got married and she threw their wedding party in her backyard, and then her friend's mother started crying because gay marriage still wasn't legal in most of the US. Hence, Pink made the video where a gay couple gets married in the first thirty seconds.
- "I Don't Believe You" is another very emotional song. Even just the first line in the song can make one feel incredibly depressed.
- The music video makes it worse. The plot line is a bride that has been left at the altar by the groom. To make it more heart-wrenching, P!nk is wearing her actual wedding dress in the video.
- "Family Portrait".
- "Just Like a Pill".
- "Numb".
- "Dear Mr. President".
- "I Got Money Now".
- "Long way To Happy".
- "Lonely Girl".
- The Truth about Love features a song called "Try", which is very emotional and inspiring.
- There's also "Just Give Me a Reason".
- "Sober".
- "Glitter in the Air" is tearjerking in how intensely emotional the song is.
- "Run". Especially toward the end when a small child can be heard singing.
Tear Jerker / P!nk
This pop singer has more than a few emotional songs.

Someone who only performs when a superior observes them; not a team player. From US Army Ranger school slang for a ranger student who doesn't give his all unless he is the one being evaluated on a mission - ie they only perform in the spotlight.
Jones is such a spotlight ranger. He didn't help with the project and then when the boss arrived he handed out the packets as if he did all the work.

Getting High with the Lures of School and the Fashion Industry
As the years progressed, more individuals Toko Baju Online have demonstrated a lot of enthusiasm toward wandering into the style business. Its ubiquity may be ascribed to a limited extent to examples of overcoming adversity of popular design originators the world over, in the same way as Tommy Hilfiger's.
It was informed that Hilfiger headed to New York, purchased stylish garments, and sold them to his townspeople for a gigantic measure of benefit. This story is exceptionally rousing, realizing that Hilfiger is presently a standout amongst the most extravagant and searched after brands out there. On the other hand, not everybody who is occupied with the design world was conceived with a sharp business learning and remarkable style sense like Hilfiger's.
Here is the place training has the effect.
With this climbing enthusiasm of individuals in the manner business comes an ascent in the opposition, however then, so as with circumstances. It is getting simpler to enter a style school and get a degree – might it be in design outline, style promoting, or design advertising.
These businesses may concentrate on different parts of the design business, yet they do cover from multiple points of view, including the requirement for educated teachers in the picked business. The opposition may be solid, yet in the event that you will be instructed and prepared in the best possible way, you are certain to get an edge in the focused manner world.
Above all else, you must figure out which field you need to represent considerable authority in. As listed, the three - style outline, design showcasing, and style marketing – are the top decisions the extent that the best open doors in a manner profession is concerned.
Here are a percentage of the essential data about each:
Design. On the off chance that you are a design fashioner, you are considered as the craftsman of the style business. You are relied upon to be an exceptionally imaginative person who has the eye for a show of shades, lines and compositions and has a decent feeling of style.
As simple as it may appear, a design planner's occupation does not begin and end in bringing dreams into paper and doing representations of gems. In view of the last portray, a fashioner must even now deal with distinctive compositions and materials, and after that foresee how it will fit a design model or purchaser's body. Once the material has been picked, the example must be cut from the material, lastly, sewn together. After various contemplations, it is at exactly that point that the "vision" or last item will be seen.
Style Marketing. This is a part of form that fundamentally works off camera. In the event that you will turn into a design advertiser, you will need to keep yourself side by side with the continually changing buyer buying propensities and style patterns; think of promoting crusades that will draw in the consideration and engage the tastes of particular sorts of purchasers; and brain the different developments that are acquainted with the field now and again.
The visionary that is in every manner advertiser ought to predict what would be fruitful and intriguing to particular gatherings, and also verifying that the clothing would be purchased. Style advertisers ought to have the capacity to connection design originators and the shoppers.
Style Merchandising. Style merchandisers and advertisers go as one. Much the same as advertisers, merchandisers must have the capacity to predict what is going to be the following new pattern and style and focus the particular needs of a target buyer bunch. Be that as it may, if the advertiser is in charge of the promoting spells, a merchandiser really purchases the attire and presents them to the different boutiques.
On the off chance that you are going to be a merchandiser, you will support the buyers in the determination of the privilege garments – might it be through legitimate lighting, presentation, or essentially giving significant recommendations.
There you have it! Would you like to get high with another vocation? End up a school and pick the course that is best for you! Submit yourself to the draws of school and the style bus

Perhaps you have also noticed this.
Gas stations closest to the interstate exit ramps have the most expensive gas.
Of course this is for our convenience. Easy on, easy off.
Sometimes there is only one gas station at an exit. Or it is not reasonable to drive another 7 miles to the next station.
Often, though, there will be one or a few gas stations very close to an interstate exit while a short distance away (less than 2 miles) there is a small town or suburbia.
On one road trip, gas prices were 40 cents higher close to the interstate. I drove half a mile to save 40 cents a gallon.
I am definitely not the type of person to drive around town looking to save 3 cents a gallon whenever I fill up. When my car needs gas, I combine a fill up trip with some other task.
Same with road trips.
I will drive an extra half mile to five miles (each way) to get cheaper gas because I am also stocking up on groceries, eating at a fantastic diner I read about, or visiting a fascinating roadside attraction.
Of course I try to stay off the interstates as much as possible but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. But I do try to stick with smaller roads when I can.
To preplan the least costly fuel stops for a set itinerary, use Cost2Drive. Finding nearby fuel prices is made easier with mobile apps like Gas Buddy. Tip: Costcos often has the lowest fuel prices.
How about you? What other places have you noticed inflated prices?

Historical Traveler Reviews The Belvedere New York City
Not a bad deal
After checking up on every possible hotel in new york city, we found that The Belvedere had the best reviews (for our budget, at least). For the most part, they lived up to them, except for one thing... the service wasn't the best. Yes, it was nice to be greeted and have the door held for us upon entrance, but no one really went out of their way to accomodate us. And the walls were a bit thin, so when housekeeping was cleaning (at 8.30a.m!) we could hear all of their racket. Otherwise, it was a nice looking place with a great location -and a nice view. All in all, I guess I'd say that I'd recommend it, but next time I'm in New York I'll venture elsewhere.
Don't Book Online
We stayed there over New Year and were very disappointed. We booked the stay online through the hotel's own website in August 2002 and confirmed it with the hotel a week before we went. When we got there they said they had no room for us and wanted us to stay elsewhere for 2 of our five night stay. This was totally unacceptable given that we had just had a long flight and did not want to move hotels over new year. The staff were rude and after a long flight this was the last thing we wanted. We ended up being found a room on a smoking floor with only one double bed which we had to pay the same rate as a king size room for. We then continued to get poor treatment from the staff because of the initial argument over the room. Would never stay here again despite the fact that it was well located and clean. Hotels should not take bookings over a website if they then are not prepared to honour them.
Best Value in Midtown!
Could not have been happier! Room was large, clean and lovely; 1920's building in excellent shape and very quaint. Highly recommend eating at the attached Plataforma (Brazilian BBQ) - outstanding!
Kitchenette was indispensible and the location is perfect. Had one issue with shower leaking (although water pressure was great); told the front desk as we left that morning and it was fixed when we returned. Most impressed with staff. Will definitely stay here again.
It was ok.. will prefer a quieter place
Stayed here in the first week of Jan 2003. This was the cheapest of the three star hotels we could find @$119.00/night. Room size was ok but the bathroom bit small. They supplied a coffe machine and a fridge which was good including a microwave.
Location was excellent, you can walk to times square, empire state building. Just a note that you can purchase tickets for umpire state building etc at the concierge desk although we only knew about this facility as we saw someone buying the tickets. Else you got wait for upto 2hrs in queue at the umpire state building on a good day....
The only bad thing was that the room we got had a city view but the windows did not seem to be double glazed because all night we could here the police sirens annoying us also insulation between the rooms is bit on the thin side so in the night one can hear the groans next door!!!.
Also you cannot control the temperature unlinke the rooms available in vegas...
Great hotel - great price
i took my daughter to new york for her graduation present, along with my sister in law and niece. i needed to find a nice hotel for a reasonable price and found the belvedere on the internet. i booked a room for 4 nights at 119.00 a night! the room was completely renovated so everything was like brand new. It was convenient to everything, the staff was very helpful. A great experience!
Great experience!
We just returned from a three-night stay at The Belvedere, which we booked based on other travelers' reviews. We couldn't have been more pleased. The location was terrific; within easy walking distance to everything in Times Square. The area also felt quite safe. The entire hotel was exceptionally clean and the rooms looked as though they had just been redone from top to bottom, with new furnishings, bedspreads, draperies, etc. - even tiling. The bathrooms were somewhat small, but certainly adquate and again, very clean. All of the rooms feature a small area with a fridge, sink, coffeemaker and microwave, which came in quite handy for us. (They do not, however, have any silverware or plates, bowls, glasses, so it would be advisable to toss some plasticware into your luggage if you plan on using the kitchen facilities.) The staff was very friendly and helpful as well. Our rooms were $100 less per night than the Crowne Plaza (about two blocks away), where others in our group were staying, and I have to honestly say we liked The Belvedere better! We had a group of seven families at The Belvedere and we all agreed that whenever we return to New York, we would definitely stay there again!
Great Hotel
Great staff, excellent location, very good value. We stayed at the Belevedere for three nights in late October, 2002. The location is two blocks from Broadway, and convenient to the subway. Rooms were spacious for New York City. Very clean- even passed my wife's white glove test! The Brazilian Restaurant which is attached to the hotel (but not accessible) was a fantastic experience. Concierge at the hotel was also very helpful. We'd stay here again.
Excellent hotel for tourists!
The Belevedere is in a great location - easy walking distance to Times Square, Rockefeller Center, etc., with lots of restaurants close by. The rooms are large by NYC standards and nicely decorated. (Note: beds are a little too firm.) The best thing about the hotel is the staff. They were all so nice and friendly and responded quickly to all of our requests (extra towels, information, cabs, etc.).
What a bargain!
I stayed at the Belevedere in early Dec. 2001. I did see reviews indicating past problems and also was aware of recent renovation efforts. Did they ever turn this place around!
The lobby is the first thing you see as you enter this deco hotel and it is beautiful. Marble floors, comfortable furniture, etc. The staff was quite pleasant, efficient, and helpful. They even asked if I had AAA for a discount when I didn't think to ask them!
The room was good sized for NYC, with two double beds, two dressers, and a standard sized bathroom. It was very clean and the decor looked to be new. The housekeeping crew kept it in great order during our stay.
This hotel is on a quiet street, just blocks from all the Midtown action (theater, restaurants, Grand Central, Rockefeller Center, Shopping, etc.). The subway is nearby for a quick trip to lower or upper Manhattan.
I would heartily recommend this hotel to anyone...it was a great surprise and I will absolutely be back next time I travel to NYC!
Definitely worth it
I recently stayed at the Belvedere (in early April 2002). I had been looking for a hotel that would be close to mid-town Manhattan without being horribly expensive. I didn't require a lot of amenities, but was pleasantly surprised by what was offered.
The Belvedere is located between 8th and 9th Aves on 48th street, about two blocks from Times Square. The street is quiet, mostly apartments and a school across the street, so traffic noise is at a minimum. We slept with the windows open and weren't disturbed except for once when the garbage truck came by. Close by are a number of markets and restaurants and shops.
The hotel is a mix of hotel rooms and extended stay apartments on approximately fifteen floors. The hotel was quiet inside and clean. The room was nicely sized; we had two double beds that were comfortable. There were also a refrigerator, microwave and coffeemaker -- hairdryer in the bathroom and iron/ironing board and safe in the closet -- all included. Floors looked to have been recently renovated. Furniture was a little dinged, but not at all shabby. The hotel also offers Nintendo gaming, internet and pay-for movies at an extra charge via the TV. This came in handy for my 8 yr. old.
Check in was at 3pm but they allowed us to check in an hour early without complaint. The lobby of the hotel is very nice, done in marble with cushy couches and sitting areas. The staff were all friendly and professional and answered our questions. If you are driving into the city, the hotel offers discounted parking ($27.50/day as of 4/02 with no in-and-out privileges) at a multi-level facility on 50th street (two blocks away). We paid more than that to park for two hours down near Battery Park before checking in that morning. The bellmen were very helpful in allowing us to unload our bags in front of the hotel and park for a brief time on the street while we checked in. They also were great when we needed to hail a cab.
Check out was at noon, but the hotel offered two options for storing our luggage while we explored the city the following day. They will keep the bags for you, or there are self-serve lockers for smaller belongings.
Please note: We were also able to get a discounted rate on the room through AAA.

THIS WEEK: The various facets of the urbanization phenomenon.
INTRODUCTION: With a rapid growth in the Indian economy and changes in the relative importance of various sectors, India is likely to witness an acceleration in the urbanization trend in the coming years. While there is a broad agreement that every economy undergoing such metamorphosis will witness higher levels of urbanization, the outcomes achieved by nations during this process depend on where they started from and how they managed this crucial phase of growth. Do our towns, cities and metropolitan centers have the institutional structures and resources to manage this transition? Should we even consider urbanization as an inevitable outcome and start channelizing our policy attention towards the urban areas at the expense of building sustainable rural communities? If we were to envision a new architecture for urban India, will it be dominated essentially by a few metropolises or should we have targeted policy interventions to create a multi-tiered system with centers of prosperity spread across the country? We explore the various facets of the urbanization phenomenon and debate the ways in which we can harness its full potential.
Jaydeep Mody: Create Multiple Centers of Prosperity
In the daily chaos, struggle and humdrum that subsume the existence of the vast majority of our urban citizens, it is easy to view urbanization as the root cause of malaise affecting our cities. But while the problems of governing our cities are immense, our focus should be on envisioning and implementing the kind of future that is possible if we follow sound urbanization policies in a uniquely Indian context.
Urban centers have the advantage of economies of scale and scope in offering a range of services to the citizenry that are simply uneconomical to provide in the vast rural hinterland. Even with the low entry bar – a requirement to have 5,000 people engaged in non-agricultural trade - for a place to qualify as an urban center, the percentage of India's urban population is close to only 30%. Within this segment, the vast majority are concentrated in Class I cities and especially in our large metros. This has led to a pattern of unbalanced growth where our metropolitan areas are becoming ungovernable with uncontrolled growth, while our inner cities lack the wherewithal to deliver even basic services.
This calls for a two-pronged approach where we focus on consolidating growth and delivering better services to people in metropolitan areas but at the same time prepare new, smaller cities to become the engines of future growth. Given the unique socio-political structure that has emerged over the decades in our established metros, where competing power centers jostle for resources and influence, the task of bringing real change is exceedingly difficult and painstakingly slow. Arguably, to a great extent, this is not the case in the smaller cities where ideas can be conceived and implemented in a more streamlined fashion.
The choices available to planners in this sphere are very broad, ranging from building satellite townships like Navi Mumbai under quasi-independent government bodies like City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra Ltd.or CIDCO, envisioning new planned cities like Chandigarh, managing the growth of rapidly expanding cities like Rajkot or Mysore through investments in institutional capacity building, developing industrial corridors in places like the Mumbai-Pune belt and even building private townships like Lavasa where even the traditional municipal functions are privately managed. Indeed, one may argue that we need an 'all-of-the-above' approach for leveraging the full range of opportunities available to us.
The rich literature on the urbanization trends in various parts of the world makes it amply clear that holistic planning is essential for successful urban development of this nature. A simple plan calling for an agglomeration of all necessary civic amenities in a phased manner – in essence, a mega real estate development project – is not sufficient to build a livable city. Cities need to fulfill the economic, security, environmental, spatial, spiritual and other needs of people to create a sense of identity and build long-term sustainability. An essential step in this process has to be the creation of an enabling environment where progressive governments take an ecosystem-centric view of development. For these cities to harness the human potential of the urban migration trends, they must focus not only on promoting industries that take advantage of the opportunities available today but also on taking steps to attract the industries of tomorrow.
Does any of this mean that we allow our metros to maintain status-quo and continue on a path of economic, environmental and social ruin? Far from it, we are only talking about expanding the choice set available to people so that the large metros do not remain the only meaningful choice available to live an urban life. For the foreseeable future, the large metros will continue to play a dominant role in our economy and in creating a vast marketplace that sits at the top of a multi-tiered, pan-India urban architecture. The trends in recent years have shown that metros like Delhi, which have a large degree of control over the generation and usage of funds, have had far better outcomes than places like Mumbai, which fill the coffers of the state government but do not get commensurate investments back. In a more general sense, metros around the world which have a bottom-up view of governance with civic institutions that invite meaningful participation from the public have had far greater long-term success.
Our cities are our greatest assets and we have the opportunity to either harness the urbanization trend to create more centers of prosperity or go down the path of self-inflicted urban disaster.
Divya Dwivedi: Urban Revolution Not Mere Urban Development
There exists a dual relationship between economic growth and urbanization – while urbanization is an important side-effect of economic growth, it is also important to sustain economic growth. The Indian growth story does not quite conform to this and is very unique. Given India's recent economic growth, urbanization is not only inadequate but the pace of urbanization has been slower than the economic growth.
This is primarily a result of rural exodus, inadequate government policies, improper governance models, bureaucratic mess, and lack of systematic urban planning. The problem being many folds requires multi-pronged solutions based on a critical analysis.
The concept of urbanization in India has been mostly oriented towards major cities, leading to the evolution of 'two Indias' – the rich urban India and the poor rural India. How this has happened and how it affects the rate of urbanization are very important questions that help us in understanding how rural and urban economies interact to influence urbanization.
The rural economy in last few years has been highly unstable due to decrease in agricultural productivity and lack of opportunities in the organized sector; urban centers on the other hand have witnessed rapid growth. This results in skewed growth and thus massive rural-urban migration. While the rate of migration increased in subsequent years, the rate of urbanization has been declining and as a result cities are no longer able to offer employment to all unskilled labor. This leads to 'peripheralization of the core'- one of the major problems faced by urban India.
It is therefore imperative for a developing country like India to improvise an inclusive economic policy and link it with urbanization policy to reduce rural urban migration, which adversely affects urbanization. To this effect the government has implemented various programs like Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission or JNNURM and the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act or NREGA to facilitate inclusive and equitable growth, but the gap still persists.
What is required is economic empowerment of rural areas by reducing their dependence on agriculture and increasing the availability of opportunities in other organized sectors in rural settings; skills development and infrastructure improvement. This will facilitate growth of self sustaining rural economies capable of offering employment to rural laborers thus reducing rural-urban migration and making urbanization a broad-based phenomenon not restricted to cities.
The second most important issue which facilitates rapid and efficient urbanization is – 'decentralization of governance', especially devolution. This increases the accountability, responsiveness and ownership of local authorities and helps them to tailor development activities, envisioned by central governments to local needs, thus speeding up the process of urbanization. The government of India made the 74th Constitutional Amendment to implement this initiative. However, due to some drawbacks such as discretionary and not mandatory allocation of functions to the local authorities and insufficient allocation of executive control to the local authorities have rendered local bodies rather ineffective, contrary to what was envisioned. Hence, merely assigning the responsibility does not automatically enable local bodies to design projects and implement them. They require planning and resources support.
Nevertheless, the government transferred developmental responsibility to local authorities without empowering them economically or raising their resource generating capacity. While not a big issue for larger cities (due to larger recourse to state funds), it adversely affected smaller cities by increasing their dependence on external funds which in turn affected infrastructural development thus stunting their growth. More importantly, the government also failed to strengthen the management skills and capabilities of these bodies to help them manage this change. The government therefore needs to work towards delegating increased and substantial control to the local bodies, enhancing their skills to make this model of governance successful.
Last but not the least, the government also needs to continuously and increasingly invest in infrastructure projects (transportation, electricity, water resource management etc.). This will enable equitable and sustainable urbanization and subsequent economic growth. This, however, requires financial planning (resource allocation) especially at the level of small cities and rural areas that are incapable of generating adequate funds for infrastructural projects. This can be achieved either through government funding, external institutional financing, or through community involvement.
Hence what India needs is an urban revolution - forward looking urban policies which facilitate financial resource management, skills enhancement, improved governance, and infrastructure development- and not mere urban development to sort issues affecting India's urbanization dynamics.

Over the years, he has developed a keen interest in the areas of finance, applied economics and public policy with a particular emphasis on how they relate to emerging market economies.

In the span of a week, the results of two major studies on school bus emissions were released and drew national attention. Both the Union of Concerned Scientists' (UCS) "Pollution Report Card" and Yale professor Dr. James Wargo's report challenged the safety of school bus fumes. Charlie Gauthier, executive director of the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services (NASDPTS), has become a central figure in this debate after appearing on ABC's "Good Morning America" to talk about the studies. He discussed with SBF PLUS the position of NASDPTS on this issue. SBF Plus: What is your take on these two recent emissions studies? Gauthier: In the last year, we've had four studies published on diesel school buses and the potential health effects on children. We had the one by the NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) that got this whole thing going. A couple of months later, a new one was done in Fairfax County, Va. Their conclusion was that diesel-powered school buses do not pose a health risk to students riding the bus. Then we had Dr. Wargo's study. He concluded that in some instances children were exposed to five to 10 times dirtier air on the school bus. So after the UCS study, we still have people saying there is and people saying there isn't a problem. I think we need to have a peer review by scientists who know what they are looking at and understand the data to find out if there really is a problem with diesel emissions. SBF Plus: How are the state directors reacting to these studies? Gauthier: Everybody feels the same way about it. You really don't know who or what to believe. These studies were conducted by qualified organizations and individuals who seemed to follow approved or appropriate protocols. Yet, they each came up with very different conclusions. SBF Plus: What kinds of questions are the media asking you about this? Gauthier: They are all asking the same thing, which is: What should parents be thinking when they hear these reports? My standard response to them is that we have conflicting information from environmental health people. Common sense and good science says we have to figure out who's right and who's wrong before we go out and start scaring the public. SBF Plus: Is the media coverage fair and balanced on each side? Gauthier: I don't know. I don't think those are the right questions to ask right now. I think it's good that the media is even asking us and airing our side. I'm not faulting them for ignoring us. Ideally, you would like more time to explain a bit more about your views, but at least our number one concern has been introduced and is sufficient to raise doubt about which side is correct. SBF Plus: Will this lead to major changes in school transportation? Gauthier: I really don't know for sure at this time. For more information, go to http://www.nasdpts.org.

From Rabbi Faith Joy Dantowitz, 7/13/ 2012
My time in Israel has been filled with rich learning, from ancient and modern texts as well as individuals. I've found it particularly sweet to deepen and build new friendships with many women colleagues here as I shared in this posting (reprinted below) for the Women's Rabbinic Network on July 13.
I'm feeling many connections to women colleagues while studying at the Hartman Institute's Rabbinic Seminar this July in Israel. It started at Newark airport when I found myself on the same flight as some women colleagues, Hartman regulars, and has grown ever since. I'm being hosted my colleague and good friend, Julie Gordon who was my chevruta (study partner) when we were in the 4th Rabbinic Cohort of the Institute for Jewish Spirituality a few years ago. Each day, I've made more connections during the Hartman Seminar. It's been an incredible opportunity to be immersed in rich text-based learning and collegiality. My chevruta at Hartman was five women colleagues, Miri Gold, Dana Serokan, Elaine Glickman and Marion Lev-Cohen. Miri is the rabbi who made history a several weeks ago when the government ruled that she would be the first non-orthodox rabbi to get a salary from the state. This is not a reality yet but an important decision.
Prior to the Hartman Seminar, I participated in a Freedom Ride organized by IRAC. IRAC (Israel Religious Action Center) was also a strong force supporting Rabbi Miri Gold's court case. The mission of IRAC is to make religion accessible to all Jews. Extremism in Israel and control of the rabbanut has made the vast majority of Israeli Jews alienated from religion. In 1999 there were two segregated buses and by 2010 there were 98! IRAC finally got courts to state that segregated buses are illegal. Though illegal to have separate seating, there are some bus lines that often do this. I sat down opposite a Haredi man (who immediately stood up). A couple of traditional women sat down across from me soon after.
Before the bus tour, Noa Satatz, assistant director at IRAC and HUC-JIR Israeli rabbinical student gave us a brief introduction explaining the 5 main areas of justice IRAC is working on: 1] equal rights of marriage 2] conversion in Israel. 3] Racism. Some rabbis, unfortunately, are the inciters of racism and hatred. IRAC works to hold these rabbis accountable. 4] Equality of Progressive Streams of Judaism in Israel
In May there was a victory (Rabbi Miri Gold) after 7 years in Supreme Court, one of longest cases in Israel's history, now there are 4001 rabbis who should be paid by the State. It will probably take at least 7 more years of work for the rest of the rabbis to get paid and Miri is not getting paid by the government yet. 5] Gender Segregation in the Public Sphere—hence, the bus ride.
Noa also showed us ads from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The contrast was stark with women's images disappearing from the public eye. Billboards in Jerusalem do not include the women's faces.
Women's and men's voices need to be lifted up to promote equality for all. This is an issue of concern in Israel and America. Fortunately, there are also moments to celebrate. Shabbbat services on the port in Tel Aviv was full of joy and heartfelt prayer. The liberal service drew hundreds of people, many secular Israelis, to welcome Shabbat. And an opportunity for additional sisterhood was an event organized by Miri Gold of Israeli and non-Israeli female rabbis. This was a group who will not passively sit in the back of bus but is holding some of the keys to the future. It is imperative that fundamentalism is not the only voice heard.
There is a place and space for men and women at the front of the bus, in the beit midrash and leading inspiring Shabbat services.

My husband and I have been doing CrossFit for about 1.5 years. We decided to go Primal and use the Paleo Diet as well. we have fallen off the Primal wagon the last few months (we moved from Nevada to South Carolina which caused the fall )
We are anxious to get back at the Primal way of life and CrossFit on a reglar basis. It is hard for him because of his job in law enforcement. I am a Level 1 CrossFit trainer and will be starting to help him achieve his fitness and nutritional primal goals. We like to be able to have our cheat days but those days have seem to come more and more... As of yesterday we started to go Primal.
Our activites include Krav Maga, Muay Thai (Kickboxing), CrossFit (as stated ), and running
My biggest qualm is coffee...I was drinking about 5-6 cups of black coffee a day. i have begun to limit it to 1 cup per day in the morning only.
My goals are:
1. Limiting coffee intake to 1 cup per day
2. Losing fat that has developed from eating unnaturally.
3. CrossFitting 5 days per week
4. Feeling more energetic
5. Feeling less fatigue during workouts
6. Enjoying the feeling of being free from foods that are bad for us.

Hi Christine. Welcome.
I sometimes snack, but it is ideal to eat enough at meals to skip snacks or even skip meals.
Are you trying to avoid saturated fat? Shifting from frequent eating to eating bigger meals with plenty of fat and protein may help with energy. But maybe you need more carbs too. You don't mention wanting to lose weight so you may want to go higher. Experiment.
Good luck!

WARREN - A church deacon, a former school administrator and a family physician are among this year's inductees into the Trumbull County African American Achievers Association Hall of Fame.
Each year, TCAAAA recognizes African-Americans who have had a positive impact on the community in leadership, community service or development, entrepreneurship, family development, education, religious outreach programs and artistic talent.
The inductees are celebrated during an awards ceremony in conjunction with Black History Month. The 28th annual induction ceremony will be 6 p.m. Saturday at DiVieste Banquet Hall, 754 North River Road.
Bob Davis, president of the Achievement Awards committee, said this year's group is from a wide background of occupations.
''It's a pretty good representation of all walks of life,'' Davis said.
This year's theme is ''Children Are Our Future and Education Is The Key.'' Davis said the association wants to reach out to young people and let them know they can achieve anything they want through education.
''We want to let them know there's options out there for them,'' Davis said.
Davis said a prime goal of the event is to honor the man who started it in 1985, Van Williams, who formed the association to showcase the achievements of African-American men and women in Trumbull County.
''Basically what we're trying to do is keep his legacy alive,'' Davis said.
Sterling Williams, owner / operator of the Sterling-McCullough Williams Funeral Homes in Youngstown and Warren, will be the keynote speaker. Youngstown native Madonna Chism Pinkard will be mistress of ceremonies.
The 2013 inductees are:
She volunteers with Guardian Angels from Common Pleas Judge Thomas Swift's court, Church Women United, and is a former member of Warren Civic League, and Club 15.
She completed her family medicine residency training at Summa Health System's Akron City Hospital in 2005, after which she opened her own solo medical practice, Warren Family Medical Inc., later that same year. She is a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians and is board-certified in family medicine.
An active member of Monument of Faith Church of God In Christ, she serves as children's ministry leader and sings in the adult choir.
A graduate of Youngstown State University with a liberal arts degree, she worked in the employment office, welfare office, Department of Mental Retardation and the Fairhaven Program.
After retiring, she worked for Valley Counseling and Summit Children Services. She is now a community relations specialist, working with low-income individuals and the agencies that support them.
Upon joining the church, he became involved with the Boy Scouts of America, and now serves as cub master for Cub Scout Pack 107. He is a volunteer leader, working with boys and their families.
He retired from Republic Steel after 44 1/2 years. Along with his participation at church in the deacon ministry, brotherhood, Christian education, Sunday school, men's choir and family choir, he also volunteers with Meals on Wheels.
He is a lifetime member of the NAACP, serving the local branch as part chairman of the Labor and Industry Committee and past chairman of the Legal Redress Committee. His community service has included volunteering with the Fine Arts Council of Trumbull County, Trumbull County Martin Luther King Dream Team and Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership.
He also developed a civil rights and harassment-free workplace employee training program.
She helped establish Warren's preschool, summer intervention and enrichment programs. She was a part of the SPARK replication committee that planned, coordinated and implemented the program for the district.
She is a member of the 2006 class of Leadership Mahoning Valley. She is also an active member of Friendship Baptist Church in Girard, where she coordinates the Church's after-school tutoring program, serving as a tutor for the program as well.

You really shouldn't have spent money on a math tutor. Had you posted this message before hiring a tutor , you could have saved yourself loads of money! Anyway, now you can't change it. In order to make sure that you do well in your exams I would suggest trying Algebrator. It's a very easy to use software. It can solve the really tough ones for you, and what's even cooler is the fact that it can even explain how to go about solving it! At one point in time when even I was having difficulty understanding binomials, algebra formulas and function definition. But thanks to Algebrator, it's all good now .

Algebrator is the program that I have used through several math classes - Remedial Algebra, Algebra 2 and Algebra 1. It is a truly a great piece of algebra software. I remember of going through difficulties with converting decimals, evaluating formulas and graphing. I would simply type in a problem from the workbook , click on Solve – and step by step solution to my math homework. I highly recommend the program.
