So I know this has been out for years, but I love this story! I can't wait to read the next installment!
| rational chapter 18 . 5/23/2015
Mmm, Killian Jones in a swimsuit? That is something I wouldn't mind seeing.
...you know, it just occurred to me that I apparently love Gawain, because I'm super excited every time he comes into the scene.
How did I never realize that Emma's last name is a bird sacred to Aphrodite? I'm totally into Greek gods. I like her, by the way, Aphrodite. I like how Emma had a flash of jealousy thinking about her trying to turn Killian's head.
| rational chapter 17 . 5/23/2015
Killian and Emma getting captured on their trip might have been Killian's fault (sort of) because he had enemies in the Enchanted Forest, but if that hadn't happened they would never have found a way to stop Rumplestiltskin or possibly even figured out what he was doing before it was too late. So, big picture, seems like he comes out even.
It was really good to see Emma and Killian have glad-you're-alive sex. It was also really good to see them have such a normal, domestic scene with Henry, one where she's worried about Henry falling of a horse instead of the world ending. They both deserve a normal life.
When Emma got Killian to tell her what Snow said before she jumped in the portal, and Killian turned pink...gosh, that's adorable. Embarrassed Killian is totally my favorite Killian.
Yay, Gawain is back! Wonder what it's like for him to see Killian in such a different environment, being so domestic?
| rational chapter 16 . 5/23/2015
And what do you know, Killian's idea is even more terrible than I thought. Public fight because she caught you with another woman? Dangerous territory.
Killian telling her he was leaving her, even though she knew it was not true, made me so sad. When she went and cried in her mother's arms...man, broke my heart.
That whole fight was an emotional rollercoaster. Well done. You almost got me at the end, there, when Emma thought Killian was dead. I knew he couldn't really be dead, but sleeping curse did not occur to me. Emma's grief was so horrible to read. Kind of like Killian's grief when he thought she was dead, I suppose. I could feel her pain. But then she woke him up, thank goodness. And she had no doubt that her kiss would be True Love's Kiss, which was beautiful to see.
| rational chapter 15 . 5/22/2015
Uh oh. That is a terrible idea.
Wait, so Emma's hiding Jefferson in Gold's cabin? I suppose in this world, it's not his?
It's really nice to see everyone working together. Jefferson, August, Regina...they aren't necessarily all working with everyone, but they're all helping and I like that.
| rational chapter 14 . 5/18/2015
I like this much less dark take on Neverland, compared to the show. It's all well and good to have Peter the demon, who abandoned his own son so he wouldn't ever have to grow up. But this Peter who's really a child, and his Lost Boys who aren't scared of him, is a refreshing change. I thought it was particularly cute/sad when Emma raised her dagger to the Twins and they burst into tears. Why DIDN'T they offer to take the kids with them? It was so sweet of her to tell them a story.
What did Tink say to Killian when she asked for a word alone? I guess she took off the curse sticking his hook attachment to his arm.
That scene where she put his hand back on was beautiful. His reactions, HER reactions. Everything was so well done and such a wonderful moment.
| rational chapter 13 . 5/17/2015
I love their banter. And it was so sweet that Emma being with him made Killian realize how beautiful the island was and want to show it to her.
This whole chapter seemed like it was designed to give Killian a chance to make amends to those he'd wronged. I'm glad he got the chance to apologize to Tink and I'm glad she forgave him. Titania was kind of bitchy to Emma, but she eventually helped so that's a win.
It's a little hilarious that Emma thinks she's not the leader her FATHER is, given his own uncertainty about his ability to lead.
That Iris seems like fun.
I was kind of surprised how little Titania seemed to care even though they'd just had a ridiculous earthquake that lasted for ages. And poor Killian, falling through the earth. At least Emma's there to patch him up.
| rational chapter 12 . 5/16/2015
Seeing Killian's grief through Emma's eyes broke my heart all over again.
Why was Killian being so sassy towards Merlin? Was it just the way he distrusts magic (except for Emma)? Did it have to do with having been imprisoned the day before? Or is there something else?
What the hell is Rumplestiltskin doing with August?
I'm liking how you've made the barrier the problem driving all of this. It's clever. It's so like Rumplestiltskin to not care about the consequences of bringing down the barrier using this incredibly powerful spell, as long as it theoretically gets him back to Baelfire. And of course it takes Killian's heart.
Awesome twist, that the key to taking down the Dark One was right there in Neverland the whole time. Wonder what's in the pouch? And why she did it.
It made me sad to see them say goodbye to Gawain. He's a good guy.
It hurts me to see Killian afraid Emma will leave him if he tells her about Neverland. I'm glad he did it anyway, so he could see that she won't.
| rational chapter 11 . 5/16/2015
Guinevere telling Emma about Lancelot was touching. It's so awful, to be so in love with someone you can't really be with.
Guinevere slapping Kay for disrespecting Emma was AWESOME.
It was so good to see Emma and Killian finally see each other at his cell. Emma being so lonely was killing me. I loved Killian admitting that he's been talking Gawain's ear off about her.
That whole fight with Morgan was so exciting! Great job!
Even though it was the end of the fight, this next part had a totally different emotional tone. It was so hard to read the part where Killian thought Emma was dead. And then him being unwilling to look at her because he was sure his mind was playing tricks on him, because it had happened BEFORE? Heartbreaking. R
The reassurance sex was beautiful, though.
| rational chapter 10 . 5/15/2015
I forgot to say on the last chapter that Guinevere's reaction to them asking to share a room was just perfect. She didn't seem very scandalized to me.
Ham, eggs, bread, jam, and butter are unusual to have for breakfast? I'd hate to tell you what I usually have.
What did Gawain say to Killian? Seems to have broken the ice. I like the two of them together. Emma's right, Killian does need a friend. Your lover can't be everything to you. I did love how proud Killian was when he said that Emma defeated a dragon.
The whole Arthur-Guinevere-Lancelot thing always breaks my heart. I do hope we find out more about these people and their version of the story, though!
Man, they just HAD to interrupt Gawain and Killian's duel. Not cool.
On a related note, Camelot seems to be having a lot of trouble holding on to their treasures, don't they?
| rational chapter 9 . 5/15/2015
I like all these Round Table people. I love how possessive Gawain makes Killian! It cracks me up!
Emma double-checking that the servants are paid was brilliant.
The sexy bath time was awesome, as well and as usual!
| rational chapter 8 . 5/14/2015
Wait, so when Killian says he hasn't been with anyone since Milah, does he mean in a relationship? Or literally he hasn't had sex with anyone? I would find the latter pretty hard to believe, though I wouldn't doubt the former. I would think he's been like Emma: one love when he was young, but since then just one-night stands.
I'm confused. Emma figured out who Morgan was betrayed by, but I'm not sure. Was it Rumplestiltskin or Killian? I'm feeling like an idiot for not getting it.
I feel like all I have is questions this time..But that's because I'm so wrapped up in the story.
| rational chapter 7 . 5/14/2015
Okay, Emma knows that David wasn't actually the son of the king who adopted him (as an adult), right? And she was born in that castle, not Snow's castle (which Regina had), so whoever Killian stole from was no relation of hers. Of course, that doesn't really matter because certainly Killian also stole from whoever was the leader from Snow's bloodline at the time!
Killian working himself up to asking her was so awesome! And the way he was kind of pissing her off in the process was hilarious.
Killian's dream made me cry a little. I hope it will be cathartic for him, and he'll be able to let go of his guilt, both for not saving her and for not saying he loved her just before she died.
Morgan Le Fay? Interesting.
| rational chapter 6 . 5/13/2015
"Someday soon" Killian is going to give Emma the ring. "Once the threat is past." Ominous. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Killian afraid that he'd just freaked Emma out by referring to "our kids" was awesome. And then Emma actually not freaking out in response was also awesome!
I'm curious about something. Is it just in Storybrooke that they can tell that the stars are disappearing? It seems like everyone in the world would be worried if they knew. And if they don't know, does that mean it's only happening for people in Storybrooke, or that it's happening for everybody and some kind of magic is keeping the rest of the world unaware? I'm sure I'll learn soon enough! (Guess Mary Margaret and I are sort of on the same page.)
Way to stick it to Gold, Emma! It makes me a little nervous, because it reminds me of Killian blackmailing to get his hand back on the show (they both have the "give it to me or I'll tell Belle this thing that will probably make her leave you" thing going on). But I'm sure it'll turn out differently here.
Killian always addressing Snow formally cracks me up. But Snow giving him the ring was very touching. And I loved his reaction and how Snow saw right through him.
I'm glad Emma asked for his hand back, and I'm glad she told him that she did that. Like she said, Killian needs to stop punishing himself and come to grips with the fact that Milah's death wasn't his fault and he's not the man who lived only to avenge her anymore.
And so now Killian and Emma are going to the Enchanted Forest. This should be interesting!
| rational chapter 5 . 5/11/2015
I really liked Emma telling Killian about Graham. Killian at first being jealous was both kind of hilarious and also tugged at my heart a little. But his reaction when he realized Graham had died the way Milah died was really touching. And then he made up for his jealousy with an early morning quickie, so all around great.
I totally think Killian should be a deputy, grand romantic statements aside. In current canon, he basically is one without the title anyway. Plus, Killian loves order and keeps order better than probably anyone (have you seen his cabin? not the same kind of order but still, this is how he is...not to mention Lieutenant Jones and his rigid rule following). Also, Killian might have trouble taking orders generally, but taking orders from Emma is a totally different thing. He might be out of practice, but he's a great follower for a leader he respects.
Killian cheating at cards was just...of course, Emma, what would you expect?
What happened to Grace and Jefferson?

The ultimate surgical experience
Benefit from feather-light movement, innovative damping even at long arm reach and brilliant illumination in HS 5-1000.
Please tell me more about HS 5-1000
A perfect combination
The HAAG-STREIT SURGICAL operating system HS 5-1000 consists of the Senso-Servo-driven HS Hi-R 1000 and the extremely steady floor stand FS 5-33. Enjoy highest optical quality with apochromatic optics delivering perfect colour fidelity, strong contrast, and high resolution. The industry leading 25 mm stereo base provides superior 3D depth perception. A modular accessory structure fulfills all users' wishes and the extraordinary stable and user-friendly carrying system allows easy positioning and intuitive operation with customised settings.
The masterpiece
"The optics on HS Hi-R 1000 are the best I have ever used. Additionally, it is extremely innovative as is apparent with the unique Senso-Servo Drive system which enables the user to move the scope with minimal effort, locks it in place immediately after moving, and avoids the need for balancing."
Motorised movement
The Senso-Servo system of HS Hi-R 1000 uses 'fly-by-wire' technology to move the microscope in all directions with utmost precision and requiring minimal force. This technology also ensures the balancing remains permanently stable even when changing the positioning of the microscope or shifting the stereoscopic observer scope from left to right.
These characteristics are achieved via the SensoGrips that are activated as soon as the brake release buttons are pressed. They detect the pressure and control the motor movement in the microscope's joints accordingly. Individual movement characteristics can be chosen ranging from enhanced friction to feather-light.
High flexibility
The variable-focus assembly permits working distances from 224 mm to 510 mm without lens exchange. Optionally an alternative focus assembly is available that allows focusing at working distances of 200 mm to 450 mm. The integrated double iris diaphragm can be used to maximise the depth of field.
Full control at any time
In addition to the incorporated sensors, the hand switches allow control of focus, zoom, and light. Via a multifunction pad on the right SensoGrip, the microscope can be positioned without opening the brakes. Two programmable buttons can be individually set to control various functions.
Enhance visibility
Specific illumination and filtering can make the invisible visible when fluorescent effects are achieved using relevant dyes. In the operating system HS 3-1000, HAAG-STREIT SURGICAL offers fluorescence equipment for Indocyanine green (ICG).
Intraoperative tumor visualisation
ALA is used to visualise high-grade gliomas as well as the infiltrated areas adjacent to the tumour. The required filters for illumination (blue) and observation (yellow) are integrated into HS Hi-R 1000 and are selected automatically when pressing the blue fluorescence mode button on the right-hand grip. The surgeon can switch between the normal white light and the fluorescence mode at any time.
ALA, or 5-aminolevulinic acid, is a natural amino acid that the body metabolizes to heme, the red blood pigment. In high grade gliomas (grade III and IV), the last step of the heme synthesis is inhibited, which leads to an accumulation of protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) in the tumor cells. When illuminated with blue light, the PPIX emits a rich red fluorescence and marks the solid tumour with intensive red and the infiltrated areas with salmon-coloured light.
Intraoperative fluorescence angiography
ICG is used for intraoperative angiographies, particularly in neurosurgery for detecting stenoses, leakages, and aneurysms.
Following the injection of the ICG solution in the patient's bloodstream, the vessels become visible when the ICG flows by. Now, all irregularities can be seen on the unique M.DIS that is mounted in direct view of the surgeon and the HS MIOS displays.
Equipped to function
ICG is a medical dye that emits infrared fluorescence when illuminated with light of the appropriate wavelengths. The HS 3-1000 system is equipped for ICG application with a special infrared camera (in addition to the VIS camera) for detecting the ICG fluorescence and displaying it on the screen. Activation is easily controlled via the handles or the software.
Possibilities on demand
Depending on the demand, the operating microscope HS 5-1000 can be configured in a modular way. Various optional accessories are available.
Enrich your vision
Often, more information is needed than what hits the eye through the oculars of the operating microscope. In these situations extra information are provided in both oculars by our image injection system C.INJECT 1000. Featuring high definition, data can be injected in exceptional HD resolution into the oculars as an overlay to the live view or as a full image.
When working together the right accessory is needed:
- Lateral observer scope with inclinable eyepiece head and image rotation for the assistant's optimal comfort.
- C.DUO offers face-to-face observation for two surgeons, lateral ports, and a separate camera connection. Eyepieces are fully rotatable for ergonomic positioning when tilting of the microscope.
- To suit differences in height among surgeons various eyepiece heads allows best ergonomics.
Comprehensive yet intuitive recording
The prime functions of HS MIOS 5 are the recording of operation scenes as well as the capturing and recording of snapshots, together with proper identification of patient and hospital data. Images and video streams can be stored on DVD-R/-RW, HDD, USB flash drive, and external USB hard disk drive or transmitted to the hospital PACS via DICOM.
Compact HD camera
C.MOR HD is a full HD color video camera designed for the HAAG-STREIT SURGICAL microscope. Its ultra-compact camera head houses a 1/3" CMOS sensor that meets very high standards. In its 1 and 3-chip version, images are crisp and sharp. Different user settings allow individual adjustments.
Best focusing results
Automatic focusing is available with the HS MIOS 5 software module M.FOCUS. Benefit from best focusing results with an active focus area that is adjustable in size and position.
Open interface
The HS 5-1000 provides an open interface for connection with navigation systems. It supports pointer functions, image superimposition via C.INJECT 1000 as well as control of focus and positioning by the navigation system.
Best control of the camera image and additional opportunities for observation are provided through monitors. Those may be mounted directly to the microscope head to serve the surgeon and the assistant (M.DIS) or on the floor stand for further staff (C.MON HD).
Hands-free operation
The positioning of the microscope is normally operated using the handles. In addition, mouth and foot switches are also available. While the mouth switch allows the microscope to be moved during positioning, the smaller foot switch EF 2000 regulates focus and zoom settings. 14 partly programmable functions can be controlled with EF 5000 and the wireless EF 5001.
Seeing each detail
The MAGNIFEYE can be added to meet the highest demands, with up to 24x magnification. When using high magnification, you also benefit from the microscope's motorised X-Y movement for precise horizontal movements. These are easily controlled via the hand switch.
Solid as a rock!
The floor stand FS 5-33 integrates the latest technology with innovative damping for the lowest vibration. Even when fully equipped microscopes are mounted and the arm is stretched to its full length of 1870 mm, it still stays solid as a rock! Servo locks and state-of-the-art castors allow effortless manoeuvrability.
The central tower of the stand neatly houses the light sources, as well as accessories such as the recording system and camera control units. Control of the microscope system is accomplished with the C.TAB touch panel. It allows for setting the parking position, automated floor stand balancing, and individual user settings for over 30 surgeons with 5 applications each.
Elegant & subtle with precise functionality
"Despite the products necessary complexity and high precision requirements, the design of this stand for surgical microscopes is very elegant and subtle. The device has a calm and clean appearance. This is a great advantage for daily use in hospitals as it helps to structure workflows in a more pleasant and stress-free manner. While the product is quite large it nonetheless features subtle forms and highly precise functionality. A truly outstanding and excellently designed surgical device."
Powerful light
The two independent, powerful 300 W xenon light sources allow the best visibility, even in deep cavities. The quick exchange mechanism ensures the system is available quickly at all times. The illumination zoom HS Hi-R 1000 automatically adjusts the light to the size of the visible field and ensures optimal and constant brightness.
Compact for storage
The positioning for transport and parking is easily set and locked via C.TAB. The compact setting allows effortless maneuverability through hallways and requires little storage space.
Easy accessibility
All needed connections for external monitors, network, or navigation system communication are easily accessible from one central panel.

Mburstein, first of all, congratulations, bro! :) In my case when I plugged this LCD to the PC for the first time the picture was slightly distorted because the resolution was not WXGA (16x9). I went to the display properties and selected 1280x768 resolution there. The max supported resolution is 1280x1024 but I preferred the native resolution for a clearer picture. You should be able to do the same on your PC. Play with the drivers a little more. If our video card does not support this resolution, well, perhaps its time to upgrade :) There are many cards that support this resolution. See the screen shot.
In my opinion this has to be done on the PC side, not on the display side to avoid unnecessary processing and stretching of the picture.
I have to say that although I did not purchase this display as a PC monitor and it will eventually go to serve as a TV only, I am starting to get used to this huge baby. Of course for a PC monitor higher resolutions would be desirable, but even 1280x768 provides clear text and is comfortable for viewing upclose.

TauRus, I have received my Sceptre this Friday too. I am very pleased with LCD panel quality. Remote control works kinda weird, with delay. What brightness and contrast would you recommend for component and TV inputs? My settings: contrast 40, brightness 37. I used AVIA DVD, but I am not sure these settings are correct.

I'm very leaning towards the Sceptre at this point.

Nick Nolte
Daily Forecast for June 26th 2017
Nick Nolte is an American actor who has been nominated for three Academy Awards, twice for Best Actor and once for Best Supporting Actor.
He was born on Saturday February 8th 1941, in Omaha, Nebraska, United States.
Through spiritual realizations, wisdom, and hope - June 26th 2017 motivates Nick Nolte to change his priorities.
Nick is comfortable with his aloneness today, and his encounters with others may cause confrontation with loved one.
Nolte must be aware today of his tendency to self-criticise.
While studying the color and flavor of the day, it is a good practice to keep in mind the greater meaning of June and the master plan of 2017 in Nick's life.
You and Nick
About Nick's Numerological Forecast & Personal Day Cycle
Just as Nick Nolte evolves through a nine-year cycle and experiences the nine-month cycle, he is also subjected to nine-day cycles, even though their impact is subtle compared to the Personal Year and even Personal Month cycles. The Personal Day cycles proceed according to the same pattern - 1 through 9 - that the Personal Year and Personal Month cycles do. The numbers within the daily cycles have a similar impact on Nick to the yearly and monthly cycles - though less pronounced.

The Gray-crowned Palm-Tanager (Phaenicophilus poliocephalus), sometimes considered conspecific with its more widespread congener P. palmarum, is restricted to Haiti's Tiburon Peninsula, a biodiversity hotspot threatened by extensive habitat loss. We used a multilocus phylogeographic approach to identify evolutionarily distinct populations of Phaenicophilus. Mitochondrial haplotypes formed two reciprocally monophyletic groups separated by 5% uncorrected divergence. Genealogical patterns of differentiation at nuclear intron alleles were congruent with those of mtDNA, and the two species also differed in body size and shape. An ancient sea channel between the Tiburon Peninsula and mainland Haiti was likely a dispersal barrier that led to allopatric divergence, a hypothesis supported by our estimates of divergence times. Our results support the recognition of two Palm-Tanager species, confirming P. poliocephalus as Haiti's only endemic bird species and underscoring the need to protect the Tiburon Peninsula's single primary forest reserve.

EW Wheeler read by Classic Poetry Aloud: Giving voice to the poetry of the past. www.classicpoetryaloud.com -------------------------------------------- from an Essay on Criticism by Alexander Pope (1688 – 1744) Of all the causes which conspire to blind Man's erring judgment, and misguide the mind, What the weak head with strongest bias rules, Is Pride, the never failing vice of fools. Whatever Nature has in worth denied She gives in large recruits of needful Pride: For as in bodies, thus in souls, we find What wants in blood and spirits swell'd with wind: Pride, where Wit fails, steps in to our deference, And fills up all the mighty void of Sense: If once right Reason drives that cloud away, Truth breaks upon us with resistless day. Trust not yourself; but your defects to know, Make use of ev'ry friend--and ev'ry foe. A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, And drinking largely sobers us again.

The new accelerator is designed to encourage more innovation within the space by providing an accelerator space that allows the opportunity to test out potential products in a live environment with real customers and real-time data capture.
The new initiative is based at the Serendip Smart City Incubator at Innovation Birmingham Campus where the start-ups will be able to work alongside other like-minded entrepreneurs on equivalent schemes run by partners like Barclays and other London Midland partners.
The aim of the scheme is to promote and design new ways of thinking in the intelligent mobility space and apply it to current modern commuter demands in new and interesting ways.
By recruiting new start-up companies and working in collaboration to grow these businesses, the aim is to achieve the mutual goal of simply better journeys.
For those looking to take part in the inaugural London Midland Labs accelerator, applications are currently open but will close on February 8th 2017.
Upon entry to the accelerator, the successful start-up companies can expect to benefit from expert mentorship along with the latest hardware and software in the lab for piloting and prototyping products.
They will also have access to London Midlands train and passenger data along with customers to help maximise the impact of their products.
There is also the inclusion of a free rail pass for 6 months (London-Birmingham-Liverpool) and free workspace in the dedicated lab.
The scheme will work over a 12 week period which upon completion will include a further three months of incubation support and office space.
London Midland have stated that this is an equity free programme and that no intellectual property will be transferred.
The lab will also help by providing support and understanding with regards to potential funding options.
There is also a competitive incentive for the start-ups involved as £5,000 cash will be offered to two most popular start-ups at a product demo day that will take place in mid-May.
Applications to apply for the London Midlands Lab accelerator are now open but will close on February 8th, with the programme set to start on the 20th February 2017.

My daughter & I miss Baker Square Restaurants here in CA especially your French Silk Pie. How can we order one to be delivered? No one makes the French Silk pies like you do. We were very upset when all the Baker Square Restaurants closed here a few years ago.
How about opening some branches over here in London UK as well?
You need to include Gluten Free pies and/or desserts on menu for persons who can't eat gluten and/or persons with Celiac Disease. They too would also enjoy eating your delicious pies.
Went to Bakers Square on Mothers day, so disappointed my eggs were ice cold and as hard as a rock. The hash browns were cold and I maybe had only a tablespoon (could you spare them since I paid $8.99) Just a horrible experience and totally ashamed I brought my mother there.
I ordered Combo cheese burger fries and pie at your Bloomington MN 98th Street Bakers Square the food was cut back to smaller portions and the pie was very small only about 2/3 the size of a normal piece the pie I ordered was peanut butter cup but the waitress never told me I would be charged another $1,49 extra for that because it was not a fruit pie although it was on the menu fruity pie's came with it I didn't see that on the menu. The last time we were there quite a while ago we had a very bad experience so just wanted to send this just as a FYI Think we will go some place else and not a Bakers Square,No wonder we just heard that the one at South Dale in Edina just upped and closed it's doors.
The waiter was extremely rude to customers I came in to get 3 slices of pie there was a family in front plus another lady and she's like how many people? The lady with the family was being courteous by saying oh she was first and the waiter was like no she is waiting for someone and was rude in her tone like how many then she helps me as I'm looking at the pies I picked two and needed the third slice guess she didn't have the patience and said to me you don't know what u want yet ? Like I'm a child and just walks off without even telling me she had to leave that's just pure rude and bad customer service and as paying for my pies she doesn't even tell me thank you like really never encounter such a rude waiter at baker squares before she's the first to make that clear. I called to talk to a supervisor and positive she picked up and she said its lunch rush hour can you call back ? I believe her name was Amanda she was was dress in all black shirt and pants. Never met a ride waiter like her before at bakers square and no matter the situation she should be more courteous to her customers. ROCHESTER Minnesota location on the north west side!
I was very disappointed in your Thanksgiving & Christmas radio ads for your pies. These ads included Grandparents telling their grandchildren that the objects the child was giving them was not as good as your pies. No loving grandparent would do that to their grandchild. Whoever created that ad must not have children.

Free Speech, Free Eats lunch hour with Jeff Sachs reminds students that "aid need not be about giving a warlord a shoebox of money" By Dana Watters For students inundated with lectures focused on deconstructing the world's problems and news highlighting an ever-growing array of global conflicts, a discussion with Jeffrey Sachs is a departure from the norm. It's more than a rare opportunity for them to direct the conversation with the Earth Institute's director and one of SIPA's most ubiquitous names – it's an opportunity to recharge the sense of optimism that most students have long since lost. "I believe we can solve problems," Sachs told students assembled for last Tuesday's brown bag discussion. He doesn't believe in perfection, he added. He believes in making things better, in trying to do things. "Not everything has to work perfectly to make things better off." By the time they've finished their first year at SIPA, the bright-eyed idealism and youthful hunger for change has drained from most students. They become pragmatists, keenly aware of the trade-offs and constraints that characterize the international and public affairs fields. Most MIA students have only had an audience with Sachs once, during their first-semester Conceptual Foundations course, where his "States and Markets" lecture marks one of the fall term's most engaging – and controversial – discussions. The twenty students attending SIPASA's final "Free Speech, Free Eats" session of the semester not only enjoyed a much more intimate setting than the crowded auditorium where CF takes place. Previous sessions this spring have featured former New York City Mayor David Dinkins, Professor Sarah Holloway, and Vice-Dean Anne Waters. Attendees are capped at 20 students so as to provide the sort of intimate experience with professors that they wouldn't have otherwise. Tuesday's lunch discussion began with an open invitation for questions from the well-known professor, whose ongoing debate with fellow economist William Easterly is the stuff of legend. Unsurprisingly, the back-and-forth argument with Daron Acemoglu, largely in the form of papers and reviews, was among the suggested topics. Sachs is not known for holding back his criticism of contemporaries, and he made no exceptions over lunch. Dominant voices, he said, are training students to think about obstacles, problems, and what not to do – and it is a mistake. "The idea that aid necessarily destroys or disempowers people or institutions is simply wrong," Sachs told students. "Aid need not be about giving a warlord a shoebox of money. Aid can and should be like the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria, saving lives by the millions." "The world is complicated. There are potentially deep forces for good. There are people in need left aside from all of that for different reasons – partly because they live in deserts or mountains or because their society was overrun by Westerners or they have dark skin or are women. We can improve things, but it's not automatic." Robyn Wang (MIA '15) was one of the attendees, and said the lunch got her rethinking her stance on international aid. "Jeffrey Sachs is used to being challenged about the way the Millennium projects have been carried out. He responds to the criticism by throwing the ball back and condemning the cynicism, inertia, and ignorance of donors," she said. "It was a refreshing perspective to me because for a long time I always sided with the cynical camp," added Wang. She came away from the discussion with the realization that it doesn't matter if money is being used in the best possible way when there are people on the verge of death. She described Sachs as a modern day Robin Hood whose armor is academic tenure. Not everyone appreciates Sachs' practical approach. While the city was buried under snow this winter, the cold peace that existed between Sachs and Easterly was melting. Nina Munk's 2013 book, The Idealist: Jeffrey Sachs and the Quest to End Poverty, prompted Easterly to declare victory in the aid war. Sachs responded with a digital blitzkrieg, holding an "Ask Me Anything," or AMA, on Reddit and a Google Plus chat, as well as articles in Foreign Policy and other publications. The discussion touched on Sachs' criticism of Easterly and other scholars, but the main message was that perfection is unrealistic and that there is no final victory in the battle against the many global problems that exist. The key, he told students, is continuing to try to improve things in spite of pushback. Such step-by-step success is possible. He concluded with a piece of advice. "Begging donors for money is not the most fun. I recommend becoming an incredibly rich philanthropist like Bill Gates." Dana Sloane Watters is a second-year Master of International Affairs student. This story first ran in the print edition of The Morningside Post on May 6, 2014.

Capitol Hill
EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy has had to contend with intense Republican scrutiny for even the most mundance agency operations.
For Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy, getting to know Capitol Hill has not been a pleasant experience. Her Senate confirmation process lasted more than four months and required her to jump through multiple hoops for Republican members of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. Her subsequent attempts to work with the congressional GOP have not been much easier.
In contrast to the Defense Department's budget conflict, EPA is battling with Congress over its regulatory authority.
During recent House and Senate hearings, Republicans have challenged EPA's initiatives -- mandated by President Barack Obama -- to reduce power-plant emissions that contribute to climate change. House Republicans have responded with legislative efforts to stymie EPA. A leading House ally of Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) told McCarthy that Congress is at war with her agency.
Coping with Congress
Lawmakers have given agencies long-term funding clarity for the first time in years. But the lack of budget drama could open the door to other conflicts.
Republicans' wariness of an activist EPA have been compounded by Obama's attempts to achieve through regulations what he and congressional Democrats failed to achieve through legislation. In particular, Obama is seeking to salvage the global climate change initiative that he pushed during his first two years in office, when there were strong Democratic majorities in the House and Senate.
With close monitoring by senior White House aides, McCarthy has set an ambitious schedule to impose stronger rules to reduce the adverse climate effects of new and existing power plants. The effort requires complicated arrangements with state regulators, who have extensive authority over the utilities. In addition, McCarthy must contend with climate-change skeptics among congressional Republicans and the certainty that EPA actions will force extensive court challenges.
In short, Republicans are making her life difficult on even seemingly routine operations. More quietly, Democrats have their own internal divisions on EPA issues. As a result, even the most apolitical of management operations, acquisition activities and IT modernization efforts can be uphill battles.
McCarthy has spent considerable time at congressional hearings. During a grilling before the House Energy and Commerce Committee in early April, Republicans accused her of failing to respond to their requests and ignoring their directives. Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.) has urged McCarthy to slow down.
"We have yet to see fully what EPA plans to propose for existing power plants or the full impact on consumers' electric bills and on employment," he said. "But if we allow this agenda to continue, we may well see higher costs, more jobs lost and widespread problems."
At the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, McCarthy has clashed with Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), the panel's ranking member, over his claims that EPA failed to move quickly enough to remove self-proclaimed spy John Beale from its payroll. Beale's fraudulent escapades allegedly cost taxpayers nearly $1 million. Vitter issued a 67-page report on Beale's improper activities.
"I do think this case reflects a deeply broken bureaucracy, long term, and it's not an isolated incident," Vitter said.
McCarthy defended her actions and noted that Beale was serving a prison sentence. She went on to update the Senate committee on EPA's activities, including a new technology initiative with the states called E-Enterprise and ongoing cuts in spending and staffing.
Nevertheless, Vitter seemed more interested in Beale's transgressions.

After coming to terms with Cerner on a price for its electronic health record system, VA expects to pivot to finding an integrator to handle legacy interoperability and change management.
Current restrictions on internet gateways complicate agencies' move to the cloud, so the Office of Management and Budget is exploring new security architectures.
After announcing it would switch to a commercial electronic health record system, the Department of Veterans Affairs must race to make a deal with Cerner.
I have no sympathy for the EPA. By law and the Constitution, they (including the President) are not allowed to make up whatever rules they want. This is one of the reasons that activists have no business being in charge of government positions of authority. Another is that liberal activists, like most of this administration, typically have no idea how to run a business or any organization within the law. Tyically, they also have little idea how science, business, or economics work and, as such, tend to make a mess of everything with their blind ideology. Government will work a lot better for the people of this country when this type of people are out of the positions of authority. The GOP may not have the best answers or vision, but it is not hard to see just how destructive the present group running the EPA is to this country.
