Johnson & Johnson - Looking Like it Needs Some Vitamins
Johnson and Johnson is a "Power Leading" Dow 30 - Industrials composite Company. It is on a Strong Hold but my Indicators are breaking down and that puts questions to mind as to - How Long to Hold?
My previously written articles on JNJ (just click) provide you the history of my forecasting, its accuracy and support for my performance. For over 50 years my management objective is to identify changing trends for my forecasting analytics. I simple want to have current notes to quickly refer to on the anticipated direction of this company and its industry peers.
My Performance for Johnson & Johnson can be found below and is well over 20% per year for the last 5 years.
More Support for My Dow 30 Forecasting Accuracy
The following article supports my Methodology of "Investing Wisely" and with superior and consistent annual profits. Just Click.
My management objective is to identify changing trends for my Forecasting Analytics. Simple stated, I want to have current notes to quickly refer to on the anticipated direction of this Sector and Industry Group.
A Special Note for Seniors & Retired Investors - Dividend Yield: 2.70%
I believe you folks deserve much better service and investment direction and guidance that either Wall Street or the Brokerage Community is / has been providing. Being a retired Asset Manager / Financial Analyst is a joy for me to assist you and meet your investment - needs, goals and objective. Peace of Mind for you is my mission.
Forecast w/ 5 Year Performance
Johnson & Johnson and other Health Care Companies are tracking the Dow Industrials well. Although (NYSE:JNJ) is currently in a strong Rally it is reaching a point of concern. Until a severe Bear Markets take it Down, which is ALWAYS, it Forecasts very positively. This is why I am a very cautious and prudent Asset Manager. The last two Bear Markets of 1999 and 2008 each took over 40% of your hard earned growth away for well over a year each. Please study my 20 year chart below and follow my Bearish "Warnings" and you will hopefully see why I spend so much of my time Forecasting.
Note: The below Table is for your review, questions and perhaps thoughts. If you are seeking to "Invest Wisely" in my "Growth & Income - Asset Allocation Model" - - please Email me to open a dialog on how I go about providing super performance with a very low threshold of Risk.
My Current Forecast is not as bright as you may think! (I will be more specific upon request).
If you own or are considering owning Pharmaceutical Companies, the securities have definitely become a bit questionable. Johnson & Johnson is currently strong Technically but I have reservations about my Fundamental Valuation, they are flat for the foreseeable future. I have placed it on an Initial Bearish Forecast - "Warning."
My Current Opinion is to HOLD in anticipation of taking profits.
Fundamentally - ( weighting - - 40% ): My Analytics (weighting) for my Fundamental Valuation play a vital role in profitable managing money. At this time my Valuations of (JNJ) are not as positive at perhaps you are being told by other sources. Plainly stated they are Flat to mildly Descending.
Technically - ( weighting - - 35% ): Even with this stalwart Company, my Indicators are breaking down. It is currently selling for $98. from a high of $94. The current rally, is in place and working reasonable well for (JNJ). It like all other rallies and pull-backs will tell an accurate story as to the future direction of the price of (JNJ). After 50 years of studying (JNJ), it is just a matter of knowing how to read those ascending and descending moves -- please see and study the below 20 year chart.
Consensus Opinion - ( weighting - - 25% ): My third pillar of Research is one that is ALWAYS distorted to the Positive by most all financial analysts. That's because they are afraid of being Bearish. I Am NOT! My articles on "Reality" are supportive of the below 20 year Chart.
I will personally and promptly reply to any serious investor's inquiry as to my very cautious position for (JNJ) !
A Twenty Year Perspective of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)
It has NOT always been like you are being told by so many who do not take the time to "Invest Wisely." Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) has taken some big hits over the years.

"Selectivity" is what I preach (along with Discipline and Patience) and is what separates the Average Investor and Mutual Funds from the profits that come with long-hours / hard work and "Selectivity."
Here are a number of the Component Companies / Peers in the Large Cap Phama Industry Group that I focus on rather frequently: (JNJ), (NYSE:MRK), (NYSE:PFE), (NYSE:BMY), (NYSE:ABT), (NYSE:LLY), (NYSE:ABBV), (NYSE:AGN), (NYSE:GSK), (NYSE:AZN), (NYSE:NVS), (NYSE:SNY), (NYSE:NVO).

Therapist techniques and client outcomes: eight cases of brief psychotherapy
Sage Publications, Jul 1, 1989 - Psychology - 347 pages
As a therapist, would it be useful to learn what other therapists actually do in therapy sessions and possibly discover new ways of approaching clinical situations? Or, as a client, do you often feel uncertain as to what to expect or how to behave in therapy sessions? And as a researcher, would you rather use a method for analyzing the psychotherapy process and outcome that does not interfere with the nature of the clinical treatment? The author of Therapist Techniques and Client Outcomes analyzes these questions, and many others, from the varying perspectives of the therapist, the client and the researcher. She examines eight cases of brief psychotherapy with experienced, psychodynamic therapists and anxious//depressed female clients.

North Carolina is an ideal place for a beach vacation. With over 300 miles of beaches, warm mid-Atlantic waters, a host of cute seaside towns (many with picturesque lighthouses dotting them), wild horses, and a place in American history, the coast and islands of the Tar Heel State are beckoning not only you but also your best friend. Here are eight dog-friendly beaches you can enjoy in the company of Fido.
Ready to plan? Check out our North Carolina beach homes, condos, apartments, and houses for rent!
Dog Friendly Beaches in North Carolina
1. Duck Beach
The beach is the only place in the Town of Duck where dogs are allowed to roam free — without a leash that is. The only issue is the beach has no public access, which means visitors must either be Duck renters or the guests of Duck residents to get to the shore.
2. Freeman Park
This park, located in Carolina Beach, allows dogs year round, though they must be leashed during the high season from April through September. Carolina Beach is a resort area with a vintage seaside town feel and an old-fashioned boardwalk to match.
3. Oak Island Beaches
Oak Island, a small island off the North Carolina coast that is accessible by bridge, is home to three different beaches, all of which are pet friendly. Dogs are allowed off the leash from mid-October to mid-March and allowed on a leash the rest of the time.
4. Nags Head Beach
Dogs are allowed between mile marker 10 and mile marker 21 at Nags Head Beach year round as long as they're kept on a leash. The Outer Banks town of Nags Beach is a perfect family-friendly destination for sailing, kayaking, hang-gliding, or just relaxing by the shore.
5. Bald Head Island
The beach on Bald Head Island, the southernmost of the state's barrier islands, allows dogs on a leash during the daytime, and off a leash after sunset and before sunrise. The picturesque village just south of Wilmington is only accessible by ferry, but the trip is worth it, whether to see the oldest still standing lighthouse in the state or the sea turtles that nest there each year.
6. Atlantic Beach
Depending on whether your dog's a water baby or not, Atlantic Beach might be the place for you. The beach allows dogs on the sand all year, but not in the ocean or too close to where lifeguards are present. Atlantic Beach is located on Bogue Banks and also home to Fort Macon State Park, where the Battle of Fort Macon was fought.
7. Kitty Hawk Off Leash Beach
Kitty Hawk, famous for being the site of the first airplane flight by the Wright brothers, is also a beautiful vacation destination. The Off Leash Beach allows dogs off the leash between Labor Day and Memorial Day, as well as before 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m. year round. During busier, mid-day summer, times, however, dogs must be on a six-foot leash.
8. Topsail Beach
Like Kitty Hawk, Topsail Beach allows dogs off the leash between September and May, and leashed year round. Topsail Beach is known as being one of the quieter beach destination areas in the state, so enjoy your time relaxing with man's best friend.

40 themes and 40 sentences for ShikaNaru.
I don't own Naruto
Yaoi, mentioned sex, fluff
The first time Shikamaru took Naruto cloud watching had been surprisingly calm, instead of shouting and being obnoxious Naruto had ended up falling asleep on his shoulder,not that he was complaining, he just wished it could be like that every time he invited the blond to cloud watch with him.
Every time Naruto left on a Sasuke retrieval mission Shikamaru hoped and prayed his Koi would come home alright.
Shikamaru was the first person Naruto confided in the real reason he loved ramen, because the ramen stand had been the first restaurant that had welcomed him with open arms. Which is why Shikamaru didn't complain when Naruto suggested that they go to the ramen stand for their anniversary.
The day Uchiha, Sasuke finally came back to Konoha, Shikamaru was scared. Not scared of the Uchiha, but scared that he would lose his Koi to the brooding raven. But Naruto put all his fears to rest when he reminded him that it had been him that he married and not Sasuke and that it was his child that he carried and not Uchiha's and that he loved Shikamaru and not Sasuke.
The only thing that prevented Shikamaru from turning down his blond's proposal of sparing was the fact that Naruto always looked adorable at the end, panting, sweaty and flushed and usually pinned beneath him. But that didn't stop him from calling it Troublesome, if only for the fact that afterwards he'd end up carrying the blond home.
Naruto's second favorite food was now Onigiri, because that was the first food Shikamaru had made him.
Naruto remembered being really nervous about having dinner with his fiancées family for the first time. But, now, as he plays with Shikamaru's eight year old little brother and talks with his soon-to-be parent-in-laws he inwardly laughs at his nervousness.
As they planned their wedding and as Naruto finally reveled to his soon-to-be-husband, the pale orange kimono ( with white Koi fish and a white obi) he would be wearing, Shikamaru can't help but smile at his fiancées antics.
Shikamaru did indeed have a favorite food, Naruto found out, which just so happened to be blueberries. Not that the blond minded, because truthfully he liked them too.
The first time Naruto played Shogi against Shikamaru, he won. Though it was mostly do to the fact that Shikamaru couldn't help but stare at a shirtless Naruto as they played.
It surprised everyone but Shikamaru the first time Naruto called something 'Troublesome' ( it had in fact made him somewhat proud) but it had surprised him the first time he himself said 'believe it' (though he didn't shout it like Naruto did, it was still as traumatizing for him).
It had always been Shikamaru's lazy dream to marry an ordinary girl, have a son and a daughter, and live an ordinary life. But as he gazes at his sleeping husband and pets the sleeping blond's pregnant belly, he can't help but feel that his dream would never come true, not that he minded, in fact he could honestly say he liked it better this way.
Shikamaru was normally an easy-going,lazy guy. And he would normally never hit a girl. But the second he say the Haruno girl smack his Naruto for calling her 'chan' he couldn't contain the urge to punch the girl, which he did, surprisingly hard. Ever since than Sakura's avoided harassing the blond while the brunette was around.
Tsunade, in honor of her 'little brother's' wedding, gave both shinobi five months payed vacation to flower. Five months later Naruto came back not only with a peace treaty from flower to Konoha, but pregnant as well.
Most people get annoyed at Naruto for his irrational fear of Ghosts. Not Shikamaru, though, because when the blond gets spooked it usual means he gets at least one night of peace and quite and a blond curled up on his lap.
Shikamaru was thrilled when Naruto merged with Kyuubi. Because not only could the blond now become pregnant (which he was) but because Naruto also gained three fuzzy appendages. Two adorable orange fox-ears and a fuzzy tail.
Shikamaru normally hated sweet things, especially chocolates, but as Naruto mouth-feed him dark-chocolate, he decided that he could at least tolerate the stuff.
Shikamaru plainly remembered how Sasuke had stood up and objected to their wedding. He also remembered how Naruto had decked him and told him to 'shove it'.
At first Naruto hated his brunette's habit of smoking, but as he buries his head in Shikamaru's chest and inhales his unique scent ( sandalwood, smoke and spice) he thinks he can tolerate it. Or at least try to.
Naruto had been surprised that despite the fact that they had been dating for only a week, Shikamaru not only knew what day his birthday was but showed up ( missing out on the festival) but had gotten him a present ( a Shogi board and set of kunai) and made him a cake.
#21--Mother's day:
Even though Naruto had smacked his husband for calling him a 'girl' he still none-to secretly cherished the mother's day gift Shikamaru had given him despite the fact he was only two months pregnant.
Naruto was adorable when he was drunk, his checks flushed, he slurred his words and most importantly he was completely silent. Which was why Shikamaru tended to sneak a bottle of Sake or three in the blond's drink while he wasn't looking.
Asuma was the name of their first child, who Shikamaru named in honor of his old Sensei who was killed on duty.
#24--Temari and Ino:
Even though they were the most surprised, Naruto and Shikamaru where the first to congratulate Temari and Ino when they first got together and finally got over Shikamaru.
The second time Shikamaru was forced to hit a woman was when Anko refused to quite molesting his husband which in turn stopped almost all of Naruto's women-related problem because they were scared of angering Shikamaru. Though that didn't stop the Uchiha from flirting with him, much to both Naruto and Shikamaru's displeasure.
The first thing Naruto did when he finally became Hokage, was have Shikamaru fuck him on the Hokage's desk.
Shikamaru could understand why Sasuke was still clinging desperately to the hope that Naruto would leave him for the Uchiha. But that didn't stop him from punching the raven haired when ever he 'accidentally' groped his husband.
Shikamaru had fabulous self control, or at least he liked to think he did. But the second Naruto walked through the door on nothing but plain white boxers and sucking on a cherry lollipop any thought of 'self-control' fled his mind as he tackled the poor blond to the floor.
Shikamaru wasn't lazy, he just preferred to save his energy for more important things like smexing up his blond.
The only time Naruto truly looked vulnerable, at least to Shikamaru, was when he slept. Because when he slept he let down any and all barriers he normally kept up during the day, and because he looked so cute he sometimes forgot that the fragile looking blond was the Roukdaime.
#31--Hair:Naruto preferred it when Shikamaru let his hair down, which was why he had a habit of stealing and hiding the brunette's hair ties.
For the first time Naruto was finally able to enjoy Christmas. Why? Because he spent the whole day with not only his boyfriend, Shikamaru, but with his boyfriends family. And it had been the first time he got presents from someone other than Iruka.
Naruto always enjoyed getting up in the middle of the night to sooth his child when he cried.
Shikamaru was eternally gratefulto Kyuubi for granting his wish and giving the blond the ability give him children, which is why he now prefers to skip the festival celebrating the Kyuubi's defet and instead stay home and celebrate his husbands birthday.
Lyra was the name of a girl in a fairy tale Iruka had once read Naruto. Lyra had been a strong-willed and loyal girl who saved her village from an evil enchantress. Which is why Naruto named his second child, a girl, Lyra. So that maybe his child would grow up as strong-willed as the girl in the story.
Naruto was a work of beauty, Shikamaru mused one day, if only the blond didn't talk so much, than he could be a work of a god.
Naruto wasn't as picky as he would have thought about him remembering their anniversary, as long as he remembered which day it was the blond didn't mind if they did anything special or if he got anything (though he always got the brunette something) which is why Shikamaru tried extra hard to make May 12th extra special for the blond.
Shikamaru had been the first to congratulate Sasuke when he finally got together with Rock Lee, no matter how surprising it had been. He was just glad the last Uchiha was no longer after his husband.
#39--Ginger bread
As it turned out, Shikamaru actually did like Ginger bread, well he liked it as long as it was Naruto who made it for him.
The first gift Shikamaru gave Naruto ( on their first date) was a single orange rose. Ever since than Naruto's loved roses.
Hope you liked it, Review!

Selecting The Right Paper When Designing Direct Mail!
When designing your fabulous direct mail piece, have you ever just fallen head-over-heels in love with a particular paper only to find out that it doesn't meet certain USPS requirements? Or, worse, that you will have to pay increased postage just to mail it?
Selecting the right paper can make all the difference in how your mail piece is perceived and how well it travels through the mailstream.
There are a plethora of papers out there to choose from. Work with your designer, printer and mail house to choose a stock to make the best impression with your mail. Each of these people should provide insight into why a paper works or doesn't work and how to effectively produce your job.
You should be aware of light reflectivity – there needs to be enough of a difference between the ink and the paper for USPS MLOCR equipment to read the address and barcode. This means no dark stock. And stock with fibers throughout, including some recycled papers, can cause problems with reading address as well.
A big decision will be whether to use coated or uncoated paper.
For images with lots of detail, a coated paper offers a sharp, clean look. Coated paper also makes color "pop". Think about the end use of your printed piece. If it needs to be addressed after printing, make sure that the coating will not interfere with high-speed inkjet printers used by your mail house.
Uncoated papers have become increasingly popular. They can "feel" formal, or very contemporary. If you are hand signing a card, for example, you want to use an uncoated paper. Uncoated paper also scores and folds a little better than coated papers and some digital presses "prefer" uncoated stock.
A visit to the local paper supplier is always fun; you'll be bowled over by the shear number of papers available. But make sure to get input from your printer and mail house before you get too attached to a stock that won't convey your message well or, worse, won't look great in your recipient's mail box!
For further details visit USPS® paper regulations for direct mail.
What are your favorite papers and how do you think they enhance your mail piece or company image? Or just share your war stories on paper choices gone awry. We'd love to hear them.

Why Betrothal Isn't 'The Answer'

Wow, It's been a While hasn't it?
Watching Sports
Lots going on in the sports world at all times. My beloved Tigers lost in heartbreaking fashion in the World Series, but they are in the works to make some trades for next year, plus their roster should be fully healthy and ready to roll, so I'm not all that worried.
Job Search
Believe it or not, doctor jobs are quite hard to locate. You can't just go on Monster and expect to find the job of your dreams, and you may easily be tricked into interviewing for a job that's not all up to the hype. I certainly know a few people that got stuck in interviews that they knew they did not want to be a part of right when they walked through the door.
Living Life
I've traveled to Boston, London and to Los Angelos in the time since I updated my blog. There's plenty of stories I could tell, but they may have to wait till a later date.

7th Annual Cherish the Children Event
The 7th Annual "Cherish the Children" Signature Event will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2009 at the Lansing Center. The Michigan Children's Trust Fund strives to protect Michigan's children and their "Cherish the Children" event raises money to help Michigan children by auctioning small or large packages donated by participants or from the local business community. This event features the movers and shakers of Lansing's political and business scene all working together to help protect Michigan future – our children.
Businesses can help out in two ways. They can either become a sponsor by donating anywhere from $500 to $25,000, or by donating a gift to be auctioned as part of the live auction. Donations can either be larger, dream packages or smaller gifts that can be part of the on-line silent auction. Either way, all donations and gifts are welcome. If you are not in a position to sponsor the Signature Event, donations and participating in the live or on-line auctions is encouraged.
This is a great cause and I strongly urge you to consider participating in the 7th Annual "Cherish the Children" Signature Event.

Michigan Creates Program to Help Eliminate Senior Abuse
Far too often, elderly abuse goes unreported. Some seniors don't admit they are suffering from abuse because they feel it questions their independency or because they are afraid the abuse will get worse.
Fortunately, there are programs such as Seniors and Law Enforcement Together (SALT) to lead in supporting victimized seniors. SALT's mission is to raise awareness of crime and security issues related to the elderly. SALT acts as a liaison between seniors and local police departments and provides updates on any fraudulent activity that may occur that could affect seniors.
SALT provides seniors with information on home security and personal safety and also identifies reoccurring problems, such as fraudulent activities and scams, and recommends programs that will benefit senior citizens.
In Flushing, Mich., SALT provides and installs safety items such as smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, dead bolt locks, 911 light switches and 911 reflective signs are available to residents 62 years of age or older. SALT volunteers also reach out to seniors that live alone by personally calling them and providing personal interaction for those that may feel isolated.
Preventative measures need to be taken to stop elderly abuse and SALT provides a great initiative and helping hand to the victims of such a horrible crime. To find the SALT program in your community contact your local police department.

Protecting the State's Vulnerable Seniors
Senior abuse is one of the most underreported crimes in the country and has increased rapidly here in Michigan. The DHS adult abuse hotline received more than 1,400 referrals on the topic of financial exploitation in 2008 alone. This includes not only the victims of scam artists, but those who have been exploited by family members as well.
With one in five adults being abused, neglected or exploited, it's about time we take action to protect our senior citizens. It is our mission here at DHS, and mine as director, to protect the state's vulnerable seniors.
Last month, a panel of experts held a discussion to educate seniors to help them protect themselves from fraud. The advice provided dozens of seniors from the Grandville Senior Neighborhood Center with advice and answers.
Many people think of abuse only as physical abuse, however there are many situations of financial exploitation taking place. Scams include mailings and phone calls seeking personal information as well as construction companies overcharging for work that doesn't need to be done. Victims including Meta Bok, a resident of Grandville, Mich. are targeted everyday by scam artists seeking their confidential information.
Bok recently received a letter in the mail stating she had won a large amount of money. The letter asked for her personal information and to not tell anyone about the letter. Bok knowing the signs of fraud realized this was a scam, but unfortunately not everyone is as lucky.
Majority of those that take advantage of vulnerable senior citizens are family members and primary caretakers. These financial exploitations come in many forms such as emptying their savings accounts and using their credit card without permission. Signs to look for are lost checkbooks, disappearing valuables and missing bank cards.
Thank you again to Grandville Senior Neighbors Center for hosting this discussion. It is important to provide valuable information that will help our seniors and their assets.
For more information, please visit the DHS Web site at www.michigan.gov/dhs, and additionally you can view my profile on DHS Web site.

Angelina Jolie, Miley Cyrus Named Top Role Models
Are Miley Cyrus and Angelina Jolie the best celebrity role models?
According to an online poll at WENN, the two ladies are the leading female role models. Angelina won the top role model spot with 43 percent of the votes, while Miley came in third with 15 percent.
Actor George Clooney narrowly beat out Miley for the number two spot with 23 percent of the vote. U2 frontman Bono came in fourth with 14 percent of the vote and the Jonas Brothers rounded out the group with 5 percent of the vote.
Angelina nabbed the top spot for her work as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, which recently brought her to Pakistan where she brought attention to the millions of Pakistani people displaced by the recent floods.
Miley is also very active in charity work. The "Can't Be Tamed" singer has been active with Youth Service America for years and she recently auctioned off her clothes on eBay to raise money for Get Ur Good On and Blessings in a Backpack, a charity that provides food for underprivileged schoolchildren in America. Watch a video of Miley's charity work below.
Miley may be a newly-crowned role model but she is also infamous for her bad behavior. Check out Celebuzz's list of Miley's most inappropriate moments and take a look back at some of her wildest outfits.

Is the Obama White House making peace with Fox News?
While in China, President Obama will talk with Fox News White House correspondent Major Garrett.
Major tweets that "I will interview POTUS on camera Wed am here in Beijing. 4 other networks will too. 10 mins per. Many had asked. Can say now."
Fox plans to air the interview in full at 6 p.m. Wednesday on Special Report With Bret Baier.
POTUS, by the way, is White House lingo for President of the United States.
Obama and aides have attacked Fox in recent months, with the president saying at one point that some of the network's programming resembles a "talk show."
Some of those same critics, such as top aide David Axelrod and outgoing communications director Anita Dunn, exempted members of the Fox White House team, including Garrett, Wendell Goler and Mike Emanuel. The White House targets have been conservative hosts/commentators such as Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity.
Obama is doing a round of network interviews while in Beijing, including CNN, CBS, and NBC. (ABC News is not included, having interviewed Obama before the trip to Asia.)

Borneo Rosewood
(melanorrhea usitata)
Why Buy from us??
Click the photo above for the second pic (of 4). Shown bare wood, will deepen the red when you finish it (see photo of finished pieces further down this page). .
There is no deeper and more vibrant red wood then Borneo rosewood, including bloodwood. Borneo rosewood has a finer grain with less noticeable pores than bloodwood in most cases. These pieces have been drying for about 2 years and are completely dry. We lost MORE than 50% of the wood to make these defect free pieces, there are a lot of losses taking this wood from wet to dry, even in the best case scenario. Borneo rosewood is now rare on the market, and flawless dry pieces like these are virtually unknown. Takes a polish like glass!

The world has come to Melbourne this spring and dominated the carnival, but on the last day the Australians finally struck back back - Sydney sprinter Terravista living up to his trainer Joe Pride's prediction that he would prove himself to be the fastest sprinter on the planet.
With the Caulfield Cup having gone to Japan through the ill-fated Admire Rakti and the Cox Plate heading offshore through the Coolmore star Adelaide things were bleak heading into Cup week and the greatest race of all.
And things only got worse - from a parochial point of view - when the German-trained Protectionist won the Cup in the style of a potential superstar under English jockey Ryan Moore, with another international, the venerable Red Cadeaux, piloted by a Frenchman, Gerald Mosse, finishing second.
Saturday's carnival finale proved that the internationals were not quite invincible as Irish sprinter Slade Power, regarded as the top short-course horse in Europe, took up the challenge to try to beat the Australian sprinters on their home turf.
It always looked to be a big ask.
After all, the group 1 Darley Classic was down the famous Flemington straight six, a 1200-metre dash over a course and distance where local top-liners Buffering, Lankan Rupee and the up-and-coming star Chautauqua were proven performers.
Times don't mean everything in racing: track conditions, the weather and the going all play their part. But even though the Irish raider had won at group 1 level over 1200 metres at his past two starts, his winning times were over 1 minute 12 seconds on both occasions.
In comparison, Lankan Rupee had clocked a tick over 1.09 when winning the Newmarket last March, while Chautauqua had stopped the clock at just over 1.08 when winning his last two over the course and distance earlier in the spring.
This, then, was about speed. Would Slade Power, notoriously fractious much of the time and a nervous type in the starting stalls, be able to go the pace? The simple answer was no. The son of Dutch Art missed the jump by about a length, but in the end it hardly mattered. He rarely looked a winning chance and wound up beating only two home as Terravista, under a classic Hugh Bowman ride, powered home with Chautauqua to catch and collar Lankan Rupee in the closing stages in a time of 1.08.79.
For Pride this was vindication of his belief in the five-year-old, who won his ninth race in 13 starts.
"He's world class, there's no doubt about that ... when he burst through no one was going to beat him. He's only at the start of his peak, he'll go for the next few seasons," the trainer said.
There was no international challenge in the other group 1 of the day, the Emirates Stakes, in which top South Australian trainer Philip Stokes saddled up Hucklebuck, ridden by regular partner Dominic Tourneur, to score his first elite win in Victoria.
Stokes was both delighted and surprised as he hugged and embraced owner Thomas Li, the chairman of the Macau Jockey Club.
Li had not told Stokes, who has prepared many horses for him, that he was coming to Flemington, so it came as something of a shock for the Adelaide handler to get a tap on the shoulder from his patron after Hucklebuck flashed over the line.
Adelaide trainers had a day out at Flemington as Stokes had earlier saddled up Held Hostage to score in the second event, Murray Bridge's Mick Huxtable sent out favourite Lord Aspen to win the fourth and Tony McEvoy, who trains in the Barossa Valley, prepared Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner Le Roi.

After more than three decades of teaching, two Hopewell Valley teachers are set to retire Jan. 31.
District science supervisor, Mary Yeomans, and social studies supervisor, Jack Wolff, are retiring after 36 and 37 years working for the district.
Yeomans started teaching science in the Hopewell Valley School District in 1976.
After graduating Ursinus College with a degree in physics, Yeomans accepted a position teaching 7th grade science at Timberlane Middle School. After six years at Timberlane, she transferred to Hopewell Valley Central High School.
She said when she started the the high school had two break rooms – one for men and one for women. She remembers her first tour of Hopewell Valley.
"I got a bus tour of Hopewell Valley my first day that included Hillbilly Hall (a restaurant-bar), Gravity Hill, and not much else. There were very few places to stop," Yeomans said.
During her time at Hopewell Valley Central High School, Yeomans taught honors, advanced placements and conceptual physics.
Yeomans said she has been the science supervisor for kindergarten through grade 12 for the last seven years. As supervisor she oversees the science teachers and helps them with professional development.
"I love watching teachers teach, it is just magical," she said.
Yeomans also volunteered her time as the coach of the school's Robotics Club, which was formed under her supervision.
Her colleague, Jack Wolff, also started at Timberlane Middle School.
While at the middle school, Wolff wrote the a new World Cultures curriculum.
"Designing a social studies curriculum that helps our students become productive citizens, where they can apply their learning to today's world, is a worthy goal, " said Wolff said.
Wolff graduated from Bloomsburg University with a degree in history and political science. He has a master's degree in Education Administration from The College of New Jersey.
Wolff teaches the Global Issues and Awareness class at the high school.
Wolff said as social studies supervisor for kindergarten through grade 12, he has enjoyed creating a curriculum in which students see the connection between historic events and current ones.
Superintendent Thomas Smith applauded the supervisors for their years of service.
"As teachers and as supervisors, Jack and Mary have dedicated their lives to this district and we have been fortunate to have them here," said Smith. "Their work over the years has laid a strong academic foundation for our district to build upon. They leave a lasting educational legacy and we are richer for it."
Smith said interim supervisors to replace Mr. Wolff and Mrs. Yeomans will be hired for the remainder of this school year.
Smith said next school year, the science supervisor position will be combined with the math supervisor position into a single job, a STEM Supervisor (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). Social studies will be combined with language arts into a single humanities supervisor position.

The silent violence of malnutrition
It's no wonder the people of Southern Africa are starving in 2002 - they have been starving for over a decade. The Southern African Development Community reports that in Zambia in 1991, the chronic malnutrition (stunting) rate of children between the ages of 6 and 59 months was 39 percent.1 Since then it has increased to (and levelled off at) about 55 percent. At the same time, acute malnutrition (wasting) rates have thus far remained stable at 4.4% in Zambia. In
Malawi, the rate of chronic malnutrition has remained at 49% since 1990.2 It is only acute malnutrition that has slightly increased over the same period, by 1% for a total rate of 6 percent. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) estimated in 2000 that 35% of the people in the famine region were undernourished, with 54% of Mozambique's population undernourished.3 Among those most vulnerable to chronic hunger are women, children and the elderly. The UNDP reported in 2000 that 20% of children in the region under the age of five were underweight.
In 2002, rampant Southern African hunger was tipped over the official "famine" threshold by two years of bad harvests. That's one reason we're now hearing news of it. Another likely reason is that some Southern African countries aren't behaving as the US would want them to, and the word "famine", with the desperate urgency it conveys, helps put pressure on those governments. That sense of emergency also masks the question we must ask: why, even before the current food crisis, have so many people suffered for so long from chronic malnutrition?
The ingredients for hunger
Manmade famine isn't new in world history. For example, an 1878 study published in the prestigious Journal of the Statistical Society found 31 serious famines in 120 years of British rule in India and only 17 recorded famines in the entire previous two millennia.5 The reason for the change? According to Mike Davis' recent commentary, it happened because the British integrated the Indian food system into the world economy while simultaneously removing the traditional supports that had existed to feed the hungry in times of crisis - supports that were rejected as the trappings of a hopelessly backward and indolent society. And so, by the end of the 1800s, "Millions died, not outside the `modern world system,' but in the very process of being dynamically conscripted into its economic and political structures. They died in the golden age of Liberal Capitalism."6
This lesson was not lost on the first generation of African governments. At the beginning of the 1980s, African states had a very clear idea of what their economies and societies needed in order to flourish. In the Lagos Plan of Action7, heads of state called for a type of economic growth disconnected from the vicissitudes of the world market, relying on import-substitution policies, food sovereignty and trade within Africa, and, critically, a reduction in the level of external indebtedness that was systematically siphoning value out of Africa.
The World Bank disagreed, insisting in its Berg Report8 that state interference in the smooth functioning of the market was precisely the cause of low levels of growth.9 As most African governments were buried in debt, their futures mortgaged on declining commodity prices, the Bank's plan prevailed.10 Under the Bank's regime, African nations are forced to produce foreign exchange-earning (i.e., cash) crops to pay off increasing debt, and find themselves importing more and more food. In a perfect, stable market, this ought not pose a problem: the farmer will grow an export crop in which she or he has a comparative advantage, and will use the cash to buy imported food, goods and services. But in the real world, this model increases farming communities' vulnerability to a number of risks:
1. Commodity price fluctuations and decline: Primary commodity prices have been falling consistently for 30 years and have been exceptionally variable within this time frame. In part, the World Bank is to blame; its structural adjustment programmes enforced the export of a few key commodities in high demand in the North, putting Southern countries on the receiving end of volatile and decreasing prices for their exports.11
2. Currency fluctuations: Southern countries have also suffered fluctuations in the currency market. Even the most efficient farmers are unable to buy food on the world market if their currency is undervalued. Yet this is what every economic model suggests will happen when countries follow World Bank recommendations to liberalize exchange markets: the currency will depreciate and require stabilization, which these countries, because of their debt burden and structural adjustment obligations, cannot provide.12
3. Loss of food sovereignty: The World Bank and the international aid community tend to use the term "food security" to talk about the availability of food and people's access to it.13 Since the 1996 World Food Summit, Via Campesina, the international farmers' movement, has pushed for an alternative concept: food sovereignty, which it defines as "the right of countries and peoples to define their own agricultural and food policies which are ecologically, socially, economically, and culturally appropriate for them."14 The difference between these approaches lies in the issue of who controls access to food, seed, land and the market. Movement towards a free trade economy takes control away from the majority of rural people. This is a fundamental issue of justice, dignity and democracy.
Debt: the tie that binds
Vast debt was instrumental in forcing Third World governments to accept World Bank control.
The level of debt is staggering. The Bank itself suggests that debt is "unsustainable" if it is above 5% of the total gross national product of a country.15 Meanwhile, Zambia, for example, is paying three times as much in debt service as on health care.16
But the debt level isn't the whole story. Debt is also a discipline wielded over Southern economies. High levels of external debt mean foreign creditors call the shots. And when countries with limited foreign cash decide which creditor gets paid and which has to wait, they always put the World Bank first. This special position gives the Bank considerable power. On behalf of itself and other creditors - and in return for an increased line of credit - it imposes conditions on the governments that owe it money. These conditions, though clothed in the
language of impartial economics, are nevertheless political decisions. Ideas about interest rates, exchange rates and the "appropriate" level of unemployment are always politically motivated17 and always justified by talking about untouchable, mysterious phenomena like "investor confidence."18 Governments transform their economies to make them "credible" places for investors to come, and to pull back capital that has flown the country in the wake of structural adjustment policies.19 Investors who want to be "confident" about Southern economies essentially control those economies, overseeing outflows of resources and wealth that invariably make the lives of the people in those countries less democratic and less secure.
Trade: the gift that keeps on taking
Within Southern Africa - where, for example, tobacco production has expanded by 50% per year over the past three years in communal, small-scale and resettlement areas20 - the most desirable land is continually used for export agriculture, and food production is sacrificed to boost agricultural production. After each year's harvest the soil is often left unprotected, accelerating erosion.21 And small farmers are pushed ever farther into marginal land. This marginalization is not trivial: it affects the African majority, who remain wage labourers and small-scale farmers without savings or capital to devote to expansion.
Export and foreign exchange-oriented trade has consigned most African farmers to shrinking returns. The declining real price of all primary commodities forces many farmers to sell what land they have to pay the debts their crop income can no longer sustain. Still, even until the 1990s in Southern Africa, government-run marketing boards protected farmers by assuring a fixed price for their crops, published in advance. Structural adjustment decreed the effective elimination of marketing boards in favour of private buyers. Now, in addition to enduring direct exposure to international market fluctuations, farmers are often unsure when private buyers will next appear and are thus forced to sell cheap to the first trader.22 Finally, many remote areas remain unserviced by private traders, who prefer to buy from a few large farmers near better roads.
The World Bank's policies of increased trade, lower government spending on health and education, and increased debt have made poverty blossom. As Giovanni Arrighi, a scholar of the world economy, has noted: "In 1975, the regional GNP per capita of Sub-Saharan Africa stood at 17.6 percent of `world' per capita GNP; by 1999 it had dropped to 10.5 percent."23 And in these countries, the removal of social supports to redistribute what little there is has rendered the poorest destitute.
Between 1996 and 2001, the population living below the poverty line in Zambia rose from 69% to 86 percent. Twenty-eight million people, or 51% of those living in Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe, live below the national poverty lines.24 And we know that the face of the poorest 10% is likely to be black and female25: since women are responsible for 70% of food production in Africa, the shift away from food production towards export production has been extremely detrimental to them.26 Men's leaving the farm for wage labour makes women responsible for all domestic responsibilities as well.
A shortage of food?
Famine is not caused by a lack of food but by poverty.27 For example, according to the World Food Programme (WFP), there are no shortages of food products in the markets in Lesotho.
However, two-thirds of the population live below the poverty line and half are classified as destitute. Purchased cereals comprise 75% of annual food needs for Lesotho's poor28, and over 70% of the households classified "very poor" in Lesotho have no cereal in reserve.29 Rapidly escalating prices and vanishing incomes are a lethal combination. The people of Lesotho cannot afford to buy the food that is available.30
The situation is similar in Malawi where, in 2001, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) told the government to slash its strategic grain reserve from 165,000 metric tons (MT) to between 30,000 and 60,000 MT. The IMF advocated this on cost grounds, and because erroneous data persuaded them that the coming year's harvest would increase stocks. A year later, when people were already beginning to die of starvation, the IMF denied disbursement of a $47 million tranche of loans to the Malawian government amid accusations of impropriety in the government's efforts to mitigate the famine.31 The government accused the IMF of causing the famine, while the IMF blamed the government for corruption before admitting that it had, perhaps, behaved insensitively. Horst Koehler, managing director of the IMF, said at a British parliamentary hearing: "[I]n the past we (the IMF) have not given enough attention to poverty and social safety nets when proposing structural changes. But structural changes are always accompanied by dislocation. We must live with permanent change in order to achieve economic growth in developing countries ... [developing countries] should be able to produce food for themselves -
and we should help them strengthen capacity to produce food."32
Meanwhile, thousands were starving, and grain was being stockpiled by speculators betting that
the famine would drive up maize prices - behaving, in short, precisely as they ought in a free market with high demand and a tight supply.
Who benefits from famine?
It's a continuing tragedy that still today, when we know what causes famine, we continue to witness it. Why does it persist? To answer this, we need to ask a still more painful question: Who benefits from famine?
Consumers in the US and EU do well by having food and agricultural products that are cheap compared to the true cost of production. But the greatest beneficiaries are the transnational food corporations that market the food and control our food systems. Altria, the Philip Morris group of companies, which includes Kraft and Miller, made over $8 billion in profits in 2001.33
In the past six months, Switzerland-based Nestle SA posted profits of a little under $4 billion on sales of $29 billion.34 To put this in perspective, the entire gross domestic product for all six countries in the famine region was a little over $20 billion in 2001.35
These corporations depend on cheap inputs, such as the agricultural products grown in the Third World, to make their food processing profitable. In fact, with the decline of every currency in Southern Africa against the US dollar and the oversupply (and hence falling prices) of primary commodities, food industry inputs have never been cheaper. And profits never higher.
The role of US policy
Such profits would never be possible without the constant mentorship of the US government. It has a 20-year history of first generating hunger through macroeconomic policy that, while selling itself as "austere," systematically enriches large corporations and impoverishes working families. Then the government hen-feeds the hungry with the surplus food this policy produces.36
This two-step trick was perfected within the US. In 1981, Congress told the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to reduce the storage costs associated with its dairy support programme.
Simultaneous cuts in welfare provisions for the poor and the incipient recession provided a ready market for the surplus.37 Now this discipline is being applied in Southern Africa as a way to force open markets for US-produced genetically modified (GM) grain.
The US GM grain stockpile, created through the vast, ongoing subsidy of US agriculture38, needs a home. This grain cannot be sold to the EU or Japan because of their embargoes on genetically modified food for human consumption. The figures for US farm exports tell the story: US corn exports to the European Union shrank from $426 million in 1995 to $1 million in 1999.39
Particularly while EU and US negotiators are bickering over US farm support in the run-up to the World Trade Organization ministerial conference in Cancun, Mexico, in 2003, explicit subsidies for agribusiness aren't in vogue.40 But food aid serves as a de facto means of product support and has an unimpeachable veneer of humanitarianism, and the US Agency for International
Development (USAID) spends over $1 billion a year buying American crops from agricultural corporations and shipping them to the starving. By insisting that this food aid be purchased from US companies, Congress is able to support US industry while appearing to help the Third World.41 United Nations agencies (the World Health Organization (WHO), the WFP and the UNDP) have all lauded the safety of GM food. However, no independent scientific human trials of GM food have yet taken place. And scientists in Africa remain concerned at their inability to limit the sort of genetic pollution that resulted from GM contamination of corn in Mexico.42
In recent months, many countries in the region have protested a food aid arrangement that they see as a cynical ploy by the US to dump its GM corn on a captive and starving market. However, discreet threats to slash non-food aid budgets and suspend funding for other projects soon brought these countries into line. Except Zambia.
Glimmers of an alternative in Zambia
The Zambian government has recognized that the problem is the lack of food available within the means of the poor. Their short-term solution is to reject the output of US agribusinesses (which are subsidized at a rate of $1 million in taxpayer dollars per hour). Instead, they have purchased grain from domestic and regional suppliers and made it available to the hungry. This approach directly threatens US business interests. But it has begun to feed the hungry in Africa. Of course, it needs to be supplemented by more enduring social change for the poor - investment in education and health, serious measures to tackle HIV/AIDS and land reform are key issues, and ones that cannot be resolved with the vast debt that currently shackles the region.
Yet bypassing the US aid industry is a heaven-sent idea, because it gives governments of poor countries some control of their economies and their farming systems.
