Does undergraduate economics education need to change?
I am involved in a session at the Australian Conference of Economists in a few weeks looking at this issue. And it has been discussed elsewhere – such as at the Royal Economic Society conference (thanks to Alex Millmow for the link). Here are some preliminary thoughts (feedback very welcome).
Is university level undergraduate education fundamentally flawed?
Unsurprisingly, as someone with a strong vested interest in this area and a well-selling textbook, my answer is 'no'. But we do teach too much and we teach it superficially. For example, by the end of second year undergraduate studies, all students should know what the economic model of choice is all about. I suspect most don't, partly because I meet a lot of graduate economists who do not know (my summary of what a second-year student should know about this at a minimum is below). Economics training often seems to ignore the basics and wants to scale new heights before students are ready. Importantly, we often seem to forget to train students to understand economic modelling and what modelling is all about. We do not focus enough on the assumptions so our graduates forget (or never learnt) the limitations of individual models.
Where is the context?
Economics is a public policy discipline. It is useful in many areas but its main role is to provide a set of tools to think about markets. Students need to understand what tools to use where and when. So they need the assumptions. But they also need context. Students need examples of where models work (and where they don't and why). They need economics linked to current policy debates and to economic history. The discipline has largely abandoned its own history in teaching – which is completely mad. If we teach economics in a vacuum, then that is all we will leave with students – an economics vacuum.
Why did I leave off the 'post-GFC' bit?
A lot of discussion seems to focus on the GFC and why it wasn't predicted. But this is a silly question. Life is uncertain and difference economic models have different predictions. Plenty of economists predicted the GFC – and indeed numerous other crashes that we haven't had! Other macro models are built on assumptions that a crash like the GFC couldn't occur. The real question is: Do we understand the limitations of our own models or do we exchange academic rigour for hubris in an attempt to bolster our own view of the world? I suspect that deep down, many economists would have to answer 'yes' to this question.
Thoughts comments very welcome – particularly if you think I am wrong!
(Minimum knowledge about the economic model of choice by the end of second year:
First students need to know what the model is and is not about. It is not about greed or being selfish. Rather, it simply says that if your choices satisfy certain consistency properties then your decisions can be modelled as if you are maximizing a utility function. It says nothing about why you make the choices and does not limit those choices to be for things that you 'like' or that are 'self centered'. From this modest base we can make a variety of predictions about the behaviour of individuals as their choice set changes. We can also add other assumptions (e.g. a-dollar-is-a-dollar) and make stronger predictions (e.g. welfare analysis).
Second students need to understand the assumptions behind the model so that they can recognize situations where the model (in its second-year form) doesn't apply (e.g. where choices are intransitive) and the consequences (the person can be turned into a money pump on the market!). They need to understand the assumptions really well. If they don't, they will make silly errors when they graduate.)

Great post. I'm afraid alot of people will disagree with you, but I definitely take comfort in the fact that this is your view and you're in a position of power to change things. I'm very cynical about the profession because the criticisms you put forth are in fact so relevant.
The part about hubris is worth alot of consideration. Economists need to think long and hard about ideology and professional ethics. These might be useful topics for your conference:
1) Given the link between economics and policy, why does the discipline not have a code of professional ethics and should it have one?
2) Why is there not more discussion about the assumptions and limitations of economic models? Is there something wrong with the fact that people get personally offended about critiques of rational choice theory? Political scientists, for example, both use rational choice theory and acknowledge its limitations e.g. the book "Pathologies of Rational Choice" Isn't it the case that critics of RCT in economics like Samuel Bowles are 'radicals'?
3) On the empirical side, what about all the papers papers and studies that can't be replicated? Shouldn't transparency and data sharing be the norm rather than the exception? Is finding data to fit one's favorite hypothesis really scientific or ethical?
4) What about the confusion between substantive significance and statistical significance? Should we ban the practice of filling up tables with ***'s and picking off 'statistically significant' coefficients without translating this into substantive meaning?
I know people will say "only bad economists do these things"…we'll I guess there are many 'bad' economists…but I don't think it's that simple, I think it comes from problems with training and the sociology of the discipline.
As you say, economics is a public policy discipline. What economists do affects the common person. If you can't explain what you're doing to the public, maybe you don't actually know what you're doing and maybe you shouldn't be doing it, much less trying to teach it to students who then walk away with a 'vacuum' view of the world.
And I don't think the answer is 'more mathematics' because I don't think the 2nd derivative is a substitute for critical thinking. It might be a good idea, however, to make ethics, formal logic and communication 101 compulsory courses.
I would like to have taken say a third year course 'work horse central bank and treasury models' which would walk students through what models are being used, how to use them, how to interpret them, in what circumstances will they fail. There were no 'engineering' focused macro courses available at Melbourne when I was around. I agree about your requirement to understand choice theory.
+1 to student's comment. As a current econ phd I find that even many of the university staff either play down the limitations of different models, or don't properly understand the extent of the assumptions required.
I'm guessing your comment about teaching economics in a vacuum comes from experience, so that's something I expect many people will agree on. But of course, if the last generation was taught economics in a vacuum, what chance do they have of teaching the next generation the complex history of economy ideas and their application.
Also, I find the university environment, and economic academics in general, very detached from the real world applications of economic principles. I am quite certain that many a paper is written, without the author knowing anything about the data collection method, survey errors and biases, revisions to the methodology etc. Just assume the data is what you want it to be for your model.
I for one would like future students to receive a better introduction to economics than I did.
Of course it needs a change! The main change should be adding more Hayek and Mises to every Economics course!
IMHO the Economics course should let students decide which economic principles are better and more sustainable in the long term. Currently they are teaching mainly one type as the one and only.
I'm surprised you think Samuel Bowles is critical of rational choice. I've got his book, Microeconomics: Behavior, Institutions, and Evolution, and it's all rational choice! Maybe you're referring to what he calls 'Walrasian economics'?
I can only speak from personal experience but I think the problem with undergraduate econ education is trying to serve two masters.
With respect to structure of curriculum:
If you look at the sophistication of first year content in physics and econ they're miles apart which I think reflects the composition of students. Most students taking physics are going on to be engineers or physics researchers. In econ on the other hand, the majority are business students, students taking econ for leisure i.e. to broaden their knowledge in social science, and a small minority going on to be researchers.
The students going into business have no need for rational choice or ability to solve constrained optimisation problems or know proofs for BLUE.* So what happens is second/third year material is dumbed down to serve the needs of these two different groups satisfying the needs of neither.
Ideally I think what should happen is to keep the current difficulty level in econ 101, but a big step up in sophistication for second/third year subjects to serve as screening devices. For example use Big Varian or Nocholson&Snyder for second year micro combined with calc prereq and cores of linear algebra, probability, statistics, and real analysis from the maths department to prepare students that are 'high level' econ producers/consumers for the core third year subjects. Keep the same level of difficulty for third year electives which allows the 'leisure' group to take them.
This allows the econ department to keep first year subjects as cash cows, satisfy the needs of the 'leisure' group but still provide adequate preparation for the future producers/consumers of high level econ that they don't get at the moment until honours year.
*There is a fourth group which are subjects of business students who are also producers/consumers of high level econ e.g. grads going into research unit in investment banks or public policy.
With respect to content of curriculum:
Again in trying to serve two masters you're satisfying neither. The low level prerequisites for second year core econ is inhibiting the ability to provide more sophisticated content and to go through current content with more depth.
Things I've noticed from personal experience, econ majors have poor grasp of history of economic thought, methodology, and ability to distinguish between normative/positive economics, though I feel the latter two are more important than the former.
For instance, I often hear statements like 'xxx type of behaviour is irrational!' (equating 'irrational' with a negative connotation) from undergrad econ majors (and sometimes from econ phds). A methodological point, econ assumes consistent preferences as a model to approximate real life, therefore if people are exhibiting behaviour inconsistent with rational choice, this just means the model is bad, not the person. Second, (positive) econ gives no justification for/against the normative position that behaviour which is 'inconsistent' or policy that doesn't maximise welfare is 'bad'.
Whether a policy/behaviour is 'bad' is dependent on individuals values and ethics which positive econ gives no insight to.
However I get the impression that econ students message aren't getting that message and there is a perception outside the discipline (which I feel has some justification) undergraduate econ is training for free market ideology. Basically I'm arguing the current undergrad econ curriculum fails at producing critical students of econ.
I think more mathematical training will help with methodology knowledge and ability to distinguish between positive/normative econ. More mathematics in stats for example will also allow incorporation of more sophisticated empirical content as complement to the abstract material.
You can't teach students stuff if they don't have the tools to appreciate it in the first place.
Woops, my first comment should refer to 'student' not James.
And in * it should be 'subset' not 'subjects'.
The future must surely resolve the problems we have with mega-first year lectures where 600-700 students are packed to listen to a preacher-lecturer.
Stephen, i wonder how would you comment this video, especially from 1:50 onwards?
Looking forward to your reply.
I think diagrams and maths are complements rather than substitutes but at the moment I feel the level of maths required at undergrad is below optimal.
Take for instance explaining the difference between 'a movement along' vs 'shift in' demand curve. Maybe it's just me but from experience I don't think it's intuitive learning the distinction purely by diagrams, but mathematically it's quite simple. Shift in demand curve is just increasing/decreasing the constant (exogenous factor) in the demand function, while a movement along the curve is change in one of the variables, price or quantity (depending on your assumptions of firm behaviour).
Another example, with respect to MR and MC, at 101 level it's often taught using numerical examples, when again it has a simple mathematical interpretation being the first derivative of the demand/supply function.
Students taking Econ and Physics 101 have same mathematical background, namely, Maths Method (or equivalent for non-VCE) but for some reason econ has taken the baby step route.
I'll throw a theory out there on why this may be the case. US freshman often don't have or have poor calc background so the leading principles textbook by Mankiw et al is catered accordingly.* The US being the biggest market the rest of the world uses the same textbook. So while in Australia, our freshman have a better maths background they're are stuck with curriculum that is at pre-calculus level. This effects the setting of difficulty level of 2nd/3rd year level subjects, ending in equilibrium in giant gap between undergrad and grad level econ.
Alternatively, instead of all freshman have poor calc background, there may be a selection effect, i.e. physics attracts science/engineering types who have better maths background, while econ seen as 'businessy' subject attract students with relatively poorer maths background.
Maybe it's a personal thing, but I found my understanding of assumptions in models (which I put under methodology) etc. improved with math skills.
*An exception is Caltech where they use a relatively sophisticated textbook: http://www.hss.caltech.edu/~jlr/courses/ECON11/JLR-EC11-01%20Introduction.pdf.
A similar solution to what you've proposed is have different streams at 101 level.
I know at Unimelb, Physics 101, has three subject streams to cater for different maths level.
It will allow the department to keep the 101 subjects as cash cows but allow more efficient allocation in course content. You might even be able to attract more students!
Education always needs change to become bigger and better, but of course we don't need to be crazy to do that. I believe that if we do just need to do basis things right and that will make everything better especially education. I am lucky that I work in Forex trading with OctaFX broker, it has perfect station with their cTrader demo contest, it helps me learn things well especially with having 400 dollars prize, so I am able to perform really easily.

LAS VEGAS – Austin Pogue can feel the difference already.
The Mountain Pointe senior defensive end Austin Pogue thinks the Pride defense can be just as effective as last season; it just might go about it in a different fashion.
"It's about physicality," said Pogue, who made four starts last season. "We were fast last year and physical. We might be as fast but we are going to be physical, maybe even more physical than last year."
The Pride has an all new defensive backfield - seniors Dale Black and Dalton Thorpe at cornerback with Isaiah Pola-Mao at one of the safety spots – but return three proven high-level players in linebacker Austin Cronen and Keondre Churchwell with Bruce Hester clogging up the middle as a nose tackle.
There will be other contributors like newcomer Orlando Carter and Ke'Shaun Churchwell, who made ESPN's SportsCenter last year for play he made on JV.
It should be a good mix of young talent and guys who have been fitted for a state championship ring.
"We're going to be good," Pogue said. "We can get the job done."
Talent contest
To end the final practice before Saturday's game against Reed in the Sollenberger Classic the Pride had some fun by splitting up by position for a talent contest.
The wide receivers won it thanks to Isaiah Bank's impressive hand spring routine, but the one that brought down the house was Isaiah Butler's impression of Mountain Pointe coach Norris Vaughan running the team huddle after the game.
Unfortunately, the colorful language kept the video from being posted but be sure to check out the other ones.
Returning to roots
A good portion of the returning players have different numbers this year and that's because some of them wanted to return to the numbers they wore during their junior varsity days.
"A lot of us wanted to go back to our first numbers," said senior Paul Lucas, who is now donning No. 1 instead of No. 30.
Big hole
Reed coach Ernie Howren confirmed that three-year starter and captain Cody Carr, a 6-foot-3, 300-pound guard, will miss the game against the Pride after tearing the meniscus in one of this knees.
Game day
Mountain Pointe will attend the Friday's game between Brophy and Bishop Gorman for at least a half before returning to Palace Station Casino for bed check. Saturday will include a walk through early in the day before returning to Fertitta Field for the season opener.
Follow along
The game will be on Fox Sports Plus, aia365.com and live tweeting can be found at JSkodaAFN.

I got an email a while back from Lilah Larson—guitarist, vocalist, and band manager of sorts for Sons of an Illustrious Father—telling me that the group had put together some new recordings. Rockland Magazine readers probably remember the trio, made up of Larson, banjo player Sofia Albam, and cellist Jake Sokolov, from our April 2008 issue, where they appeared as one of our "Rockland Idols."
The charm of the group was that they sounded so rough. We first heard them play on a MySpace recording from a performance at Nyack's Riverspace. The quality was shoddy, but somehow it seemed to fit the style of music (I'm not taking any cheap shots by saying that, either). They were covering songs like, "Go Down Moses," an old African-American spiritual, popularized by Paul Robeson way back in the 1920s. It was great hearing three teenagers belt out those lyrics, and strum their guitars like they were recklessly sawing a cord of firewood. The crowd noise, the vocal clipping on the high end—it all seemed to fit their aesthetic. As I reported the feature, I saw them play live (in Larson's parents' living room), and they still carried over some of that energy and spirit.
Albam, Sokolov, and Larson, in the aforementioned living room
Many of the covers they played for me that night, like "Jackson," the lively number made famous by Johnny Cash and June Carter, and "Crazy," the Patsy Cline ballad, are now out on their MySpace page, recorded cleanly (as opposed to live, at a performance space). I have to say, though, that I was somewhat disappointed by the end product. The problem is that I prefer the band's sound when I hear them as a whole, through one mic, or a pair of stereo mics. I still enjoy Albam's throaty vocals, but when they stand out so far above the rest of the mix, her sound really loses its low-budget likability. The same thing goes for Sokolov's cello playing. It's good, but on some tracks, like "Crazy," it seems like it was awkwardly injected into the mix. This set of recordings just doesn't feel organic enough.
Although I know they're not 21 yet, I'd rather hear the band playing crumby bars with rowdy patrons and flat acoustics. The songs they have up there are still an intriguing selection of covers—it's hard to resisist their rendition of "Jackson," in any incarnation—but they have me yearning for something that sounds a little less digitally true, and a little more like an old, bowed LP.

We went to bellaria for a family celebration and it was absolutely wonderful, from start to finish. Great menu, well executed and above all, impeccable service the like of which you will not find in most of London. It's not a restaurant designed for kids but they went out of their way to make our two six year olds feel welcome. Looking around the room, you could tell most people had been before and trusted it. It's the kind of place you come back to again and again once you've discovered it. We certainly will.

Kendama: America's Number 1 Source of Entertainment (like 2 years ago)
February 22, 2017
Filed under Arts & Entertainment, Sports, Uncategorized
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
A Kendama is a wooden toy that consists of 1 handle, 3 cups (Base, Big, and Small cup), and 1 string attached from the Kendama to a ball with a hole directly in the middle. This miraculous but simple toy originated from Japan around the year 1603. With this toy, you can perform over 10 different and addicting tricks- such as Big Cup, Small Cup, Base cup, Birdie, Spike, Stilt, Around the world, Lighthouse, etc. It was very popular for children and teens (and some adults) to battle each other by playing a game called Ken, similar to Horse but instead of shooting a ball, you would perform multiple tricks and the opponent would try to replicate what you did.
Now if you feel interested in playing with this new toy, you probably have to buy it online because almost all the stores stopped selling them because they dropped in popularity among the children.

Anatomy of a RIN
A Regulation Identifier Number or RIN are are extremely helpful in identifying and following the progress of each regulatory action or rulemaking proceeding.
What makes them so special is that each regulatory action retains exactly the same RIN throughout the entire rulemaking process so one can use the RIN to track the history of any proposed individual regulation.
A RIN is made up of a 4-digit agency code plus a 4-character alphanumeric code, which is ssigned sequentially based upon when it first made its way into the database.
This allows you to search the Unified Agenda without looking up a new RIN for each step throughout the process.

Breast Pumps
Since my son was born with severe birth trauma and spent two weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit, then I had to express breast milk. First I had to express breast milk with hands, and then I bought a breast pump. I can confidently recommend the breast pump by British company named Avent. I used a manual breast pump. Very easy to use, easy to clean, can be used in the sterilizer. This is not advertising, this is my personal experience.
I think, I used this one for myself too. But it was not manual, automatic. I breastfed my son for 18 months, I do not know if the breast pump helped, or it's just my nature.
I only used a hand held one and it was only good during the first couple months. I looked into others but could never justify the cost since I was a stay-at-home mom. I was just curious about them and wanted to try them!

BIGGEST great white ever caught on camera gets up close with diver
Guadalupe Island in Mexico is renowned for its abundant sea life in its waters – including great white sharks.
However, this absolute monster was caught on video investigating a diver in an underwater cage, and experts believe it's the largest of its kind ever caught on camera.
'Deep Blue', as she is known, is thought to be 50 years old or thereabouts and is over 20 feet long.
And, while not seeking to insult this colossal lady of the deep, she's also very fat.
Deep Blue was tagged last year with the help of local researcher Maricio Hoyos Padilla – and it is he who posted this stunning video on YouTube.
And what does the diver do when the monstrous predator approaches his cage?
Why, he just pushes it away of course.
Eh…. Just like I would (in between bouts of hyperventilating and fainting, married with possibly throwing up in my mouthpiece).
Think it's time to call Quint!

Denis Irwin wants Harry Arter to start at Euro 2016
Republic of Ireland legend Denis Irwin has urged Martin O'Neill to hand Harry Arter a starting place in his Euro 2016 line-up after his breakthrough performance in the 1-1 draw against Holland at the Aviva Stadium.
Arter turned in an impressive display as he finally got a chance to start his first game for Ireland after an injury plagued international career, with the Bournemouth midfielder battling back from his latest fitness worry to give himself a chance to claim one of the final places in O'Neill's 23-man squad for the finals in France.
After a display against the Dutch that may well have cemented his place in the Ireland squad, Irwin told Setanta Sports that there is now a case for Arter to start in the opening Euro 2016 game against Sweden.
"He is very comfortable on the ball and offers us something in that midfield area that I don't think we have got," stated Irwin.
"We are talking about him getting into the 23-man squad, but for me, he could actually start, especially with the (diamond) system Martin is playing.
"We will need more midfield players is Martin is playing that system and Arter has done very well. I know Martin and Roy (Keane) went to see him in the postponed game at Manchester United to watch him and he is very much in their thoughts."
Arter declared himself satisfied with his performance as he made on his second senior international appearance, almost a year after his first cap against England at the Aviva Stadium.
"There is a good group of us not guaranteed to be in the squad," stated Arter. "We were given a chance to attack the game be aggressive to try and get into the manager's thoughts.
"I am happy in that system and having worked hard to try and get into this competition, I am trying to get in his mind to get on to the plane."
Arter's wait to discover whether he has made the final cut for the Ireland squad will soon be over, with O'Neill confirming his final 23-man travelling party for Euro 2016 after next Tuesday's game against Belarus in Cork.

The Shimadzu family and the Shuseikan industrial complex
Simply because of its abundance of coastline, Satsuma was visited by foreign ships earlier than other places. Because of this, Satsuma was sensitive to the actions of other countries, and, also through Ryukyu (Okinawa Prefecture), gathered a wealth of information. The 28th Shimadzu Lord, Nariakira, felt the vulnerability of our country to colonization to be a problem of the utmost gravity, so, immediately upon becoming head of the clan, he made the most of the plenitude of information and western knowledge available to him to establish policies with an eye to the future. As part of the efforts to carry out these policies, a modern western-style industrial complex called the Shuseikan was established in the Iso area of Kagoshima.

What is the futuristic material called aerogel?
Variously described as "frozen smoke" or "glass foam", it is the futuristic material used by Nasa's Stardust probe to safely capture valuable grains of comet Wild 2's dust.
Made from the same material as glass - silicon oxide - aerogel is best described as a porous, sponge-like material and is the lightest, lowest-density solid known to exist.
It is typically 1,000 times less dense than glass and is 99.8% air.
Some versions are 3,000 square metres per gram but the material is capable of holding up more than 4,000 times its own weight.
Aerogel was used by Stardust so that comet dust could be slowed down and captured without being damaged: the grains created tracks through the material and ended up embedded in the aerogel. If Stardust had used any normal material to capture the dust, the grains would have vaporised on contact with the surface of the collector or changed shape, losing information.
The material was invented by Steven S Kistler of the College of the Pacific in Stockton, California, in the 1930s but largely forgotten until decades later, when scientists were looking for something in which to store rocket fuel for trips into space.
Research suggests aerogels could be used for all sorts of purposes.
It is almost 40 times better at insulating heat and sound than the best fibreglass: an inch-thick pane has the same insulating properties as 15 panes of glass and trapped air.

What are the effects of sleep deprivation?
Bad moods, lack of motivation, and it makes you more sensitive to pain.
James Cracknell and Ben Fogle emerged yesterday from their 50-day, 2,937-mile rowing adventure looking like castaways. As if the feat was not harsh enough, they revealed that, since somebody had to be awake at all times, they had taken turns to sleep, with neither getting more than 90 minutes at a stretch. It might sound awful but Mark Blagrove, director of Swansea University's sleep laboratory, said that they probably ended up doing the right thing.
"If you were having less than one and a half hours, you would have a problem," he said. "But one and a half hours, quite coincidentally, is the length of a sleep cycle, and you normally have four or five sleep cycles a night."
The cycles start off with light sleep, then the restful deep sleep, followed by the rapid eye movement phase. Over a 24-hour period, the amount of sleep would have been similar to a normal night's sleep. But the quality of the rest is not quite the same.
"It makes you feel less happy than normal," said Dr Blagrove. "The next effects are that your thinking slows down. You also have lapses, you stop responding for maybe 30 seconds or so."
There is also a general stress effect on the body, with the level of cortisol, a stress hormone, rising in the bloodstream. In addition, motivation drops and sleep deprivation can make pain feel worse. Aching muscles no doubt felt a hell of a lot worse than normal for Cracknell and Fogle.

Will giving an elephant vodka keep it warm?
No. Quite apart from the danger posed by an inebriated five-tonne beast, it is a bad idea for several reasons, none of which have apparently stopped people in Russia from trying it this week.
According to newspaper reports of Russia's extremely harsh winter, circus and zoo owners have been feeding alcohol to their animals, including Asian elephants, wild boar, reindeer and macaques, to protect them from the cold. Temperatures have plunged to -30C (-22F). "In Russia people seem to look on vodka as some kind of magic potion," said Andrew McNeill, director of the Institute of Alcohol Studies in St Ives, Cambridgeshire. He said the warm glow from a nip of strong liquor is an illusion. The alcohol dilates blood vessels near the skin, causing us to lose core body heat, but feel warmer. Drunkenness followed by hypothermia is a leading cause of death in Russia, he said. "What the St Bernard should have around its neck is a cup of Horlicks."
And the same is true in animals, according to John Lewis, of Wildlife Vets International in Keighley. "[The keepers] may have the best intentions but it is going to have the opposite effect. They should be keeping the animals warm." He points out that if the animals imbibe too much, the alcohol starts to act as an anaesthetic, and mechanisms such as shivering that should kick in to generate heat don't happen, making matters worse.
"It just struck me as rather daft and a waste of good vodka," said Mr Lewis.

Target: Nick Coe, CEO of Bath and Body Works
Goal: Reduce plastic waste by making stores into product dispensaries.
Bath and Body works makes $2.5 billion in annual net sales, all by selling products distributed in plastic bottles. Plastic waste is leading to the toxification of soil and water and the deaths of millions of animals. If a company is making billions of dollars selling its products out of the material year after year, the damage this is causing to the environment is unimaginable. Tell Nick Coe to reduce plastic waste by changing his stores into dispensaries.
Plastic is derived from oil and doesn't biodegrade in a landfill. It can take up to one million years to decompose, leeching toxins into soil, bodies of water and water supplies all the while. As of 2010, more than 14 countries have banned the use of the plastic shopping bags, or are considering it. Americans use 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour and plastic items thrown into the ocean kill up to one million marine animals every year. Even plastics that get recycled cause severe environmental damage by releasing toxins into the air when melted. It's shocking that those in charge of a company which makes billions of dollars a year selling products entirely out of plastic containers haven't thought of a more environmentally method of distribution yet.
Bath and Body Works has already been targeted by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and other health and environmental groups for selling products containing a chemical that is harmful to teens. The company also sells products that contain parabens, which studies have shown can lead to cancer. So not only is this company selling products with toxic chemicals, it's selling them out of a material that is toxic for the planet. Despite Bath and Body Works's questionable business practices, people are more than likely going to continue buying its products. Bath and Body Works has built a business on repeat business by patrons who enjoy its variety of scents. If customers are continuing to return to stores to buy the same scents over and over, the least Bath and Body Works can do is sell them out of dispensaries. Customers would simply bring their reusable bottles to the store and refill them.
Tell Nick Coe that a company earning billions of dollars in profits should give something back to the planet its been exploiting to make them. Ask him to change all Bath and Body Works stores to dispensaries.
Dear Nick Coe,
Each year, your company makes billions of dollars in profits by selling the same products over and over again out of plastic bottles. With plastic waste causing the death of millions of animals as well as causing soil and water to become contaminated, companies like yours need to consider ways you can reduce your negative environmental impact. By not changing your stores into dispensaries, you are not only causing unnecessary damage to the environment, you are missing out on an opportunity to lead the way for other retailers to take the same environmentally conscious step.
Since your company sells to a high number of repeat customers, it makes perfect sense to start allowing those customers to refill reusable bottles with your products. This would not only reduce plastic waste, but make you an industry leader in implementing environmentally friendly practices. We urge you to change your stores into dispensaries.

Ratings for Dr. Michael M. Levine
I trust him implicitly. he has been my physician for many years, he takes time to answer your concerns, has always been accessible.
Exceptionally competent and caring. Appropriately involved and detail oriented while at the same time, is very aware of the entire picture and ramifications of the disease.
I could not recommend a physician more highly. Comprehensive, attentive, humorous and exceptionally competent. I sincerely hope (against hope) that he never retires.
Dr Levine is amazing - personalable - warm, great bedside manner, knows what he knows - and also knows when to bring in an expert. Very thorough and calm. His office staff is not great and they often seem overwhelmed and give out bad advice. But he is worth overlooking this! He's that good!
I am very upset with this doctor and his staff. I found him very incompetent and useless regarding my high blood pressure and kidney problems. After going to him for 5 years, I finally changed to another doctor who showed much more caring and knowledge.
Absolutly amazing doctor!

By David Jackson, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON It's harder for a lame duck.
Despite lower approval ratings in his waning months in the White House, President Bush continues to be a popular draw for Republican candidates. On Tuesday, he made his 30th and 31st fundraising appearances of the year, though his total take has dipped for this election.
Bush has raised at least $134 million so far in the 2007-08 election cycle, according to figures from the Republican National Committee (RNC). He'll need to raise about $60 million to match his take for the 2006 congressional elections and he's far off the record he set in 2004 for his re-election bid.
Republicans say they're grateful for Bush's efforts. "President Bush has been very generous with his time," said RNC spokesman Alex Conant. "He remains a strong fundraiser and popular with a lot of Americans."
Democratic Party communications director Karen Finney said that because presumptive GOP nominee John McCain will need the president's help in boosting their party's treasury, "it makes it harder for him to disassociate himself from George Bush."
Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, has set many fundraising records and has opted not to use public funds for the general election. McCain is going to use $84 million in taxpayer money but can be helped by party funding for get-out-the-vote efforts.
McCain senior adviser Charles Black said he is confident the Arizona senator can establish his own identity, and that the campaign welcomes Bush's help. "Anybody who can raise money for us is a help," he said.
Black said that Bush had to compete last year with all the GOP candidates who were trying to replace him. Together, McCain and his GOP rivals raised $260 million last year for the primaries, according to the non-partisan Campaign Finance Institute. By comparison, Bush raised about $67 million last year for the party and its candidates, according to the RNC.
Bush appeared Tuesday with Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi. Appointed last year to replace Trent Lott, Wicker is running for a full term against Democrat Ronnie Musgrove, a former governor.
Brad White, executive director and chairman-elect of the Mississippi Republican Party, said it isn't hard for Bush to draw a crowd in his conservative state.
Wicker spokesman Ryan Annison said the campaign is still counting receipts, but more than 500 people paid at least $1,000 to see the president.
Bush also appeared Tuesday in Little Rock, where he conducted a roundtable discussion on housing before headlining a fundraiser for the Arkansas Republican Party. Its executive director, Karen Ray, said about 470 people attended, making contributions ranging from $150 to $5,000.

I rode to earth on the backside of a comet. Mau Mau Bett saw me blaze across the sky and disappear into the moon, where I reined in the comet with my strong arms, tightened my thighs to make the comet turn and then scorched back again across the sky. With the last light of the comet, for I had nearly burned it up dashing around the moon, I rode until I saw a man as tall as a tree holding a burning pine knot in a smooth stone mortar. Next to him was a woman holding out her apron. I landed headfirst into her outstretched cloth, turning her apron black with my heat.

When the Wednesday injury report came out, more than a few people noticed the little addition next to Tom Brady's perennial should injury status, this time it was his foot. Brady suffered an apparent sprained foot, which caused him to Miss Wednesday's practice. He returned on a limited basis Thursday and Friday. Despite the injury, Brady was expected to play on Sunday night.
Other names on the injury list this week were OG Stephen Neal (shoulder), DL Myron Pryor (back), S Jarrad Page and RB Fred Taylor.
Taylor told the New England media that he was hopeful of returning to the lineup this week after missing the last 5 games. It was his first appearance at practice since the injury. Tonight, will not be Taylor's return appearance as he's been ruled out of tonight's game against Pittsburgh.
Patriots Inactives:
Neal, Page, Pryor and Taylor have all been ruled out.
Healthy scratches ruled Inactive tonight:
CB Darius Butler, OT Mark LeVoir and OG Rich Ohrnberger.
Steelers Inactives:
S Will Allen , WR Antonio Brown, RB Jonathan Dwyer, DL Brett Keisel, OL Chris Kemoeatu , OL Chris Scott, DL Aaron Smith , Charlie Batch (3rd QB)
The big surprise is that Darius Butler has fallen completely off the radar of the Patriots. With a secondary desperately in need of assistance, Butler is a no go. Though there's been little indication that the Patriots have become completely dissatisfied with their former second round pick beyond moving him to the nickel spot in favor of 2009 free agent pickup Kyle Arrington, who has moved to the starting right corner spot in Week 3.
With Butler out, S Patrick Chung is back. Chung missed the past two weeks due to a leg injury. DB Sergio Brown is also active ahead of Butler, giving the secondary depth.
Pryor's absence puts pressure on the rotation on the Patriots defensive line. To address that issue, New England added Kyle Love to the active roster.
Filling in for Neal will be Dan Connolly at RG, while Logan Mankins holds down his usual spot at left guard. Ryan Wendell and Quinn Ojinaka are also active tonight givnig the team additional depth at the along line position.

Obasanjo's Biography Book Banned By Abuja Court Bcos It Exposes PDP, Jonathan & Buruji Kashamu
Dec 7, 2014 – Obasanjo's Autobiography Book Banned By Abuja Court Bcos It Exposes PDP, Jonathan & Buruji Kashamu
Ex-Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has been restrained by an Abuja court from proceeding with plans to publish his new autobiography, entitled: "My watch."The court equally barred the former President from having someone publish same on his behalf.
The restraining order was given by Justice Valentine Ashi of a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
Justice Ashi made the order on Friday after listening to Alex Iziyon (SAN) argue a motion ex-parte brought on behalf of a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Buruji Kashamu.
The motion is marked: FCT/HC/M/2392/2014.
Iziyon had argued that the content of the book relates to issues contained in Obasanjo's December 2, 2013 letter to President Goodluck Jonathan and former PDP National Chairman, Bamanga Tukur, where he (Obasanjo) claimed that Kashamu was a fugitive wanted in the United States.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria argued that since the content of the letter was the subject of the libel suit his client filed against Obsanjo, which is still pending before the court, it was wrong for the ex-president to be allowed to proceed to comment on, write books about or make publications on the issue yet to be decided by the court.
Justice Ashi, in a ruling, restrained Obasanjo from either publishing the book or have it published on his behalf by anybody, pending the determination of the main suit still pending before the court.
According to Justice Ashi: "The defendant, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, whether by himself, his agents, servants, privies or any other person by whatever name called and howsoever described, is hereby restrained from publishing or caused to be published in the yet to published book, 'My watch', or any autobiography or biography and any extracts of same, by whatever name called or howsoever titled, pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice hereof."
The judge similarly restrained Obasanjo and his agents "from further writing, printing, publishing or causing to be published or printed or circulated, or otherwise, publishing of and concerning the plaintiff, the statement contained in the Daily Sun (pages 47-49) and The Leadership (pages 3 to 8 ) newspapers of December 12, 2013 and which statements are alleged to have reproduced the letter written by the defendant to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria titled: 'Before it is too late' or similar statements pending the determination of the motion on notice."
Justice Ashi further ordered the applicant to "execute a bond with the Registrar of the court to pay such damages as shall be assessed should it turn out that the order ought not to have been granted in the first place."
He adjourned hearing on the main suit to December 10.

Anyway, are you really a girl, or just Scott being bored and creating a fake-fem profile? Any pics of your car? If it's burgundy and auto we'll know it's scott in disguise.
Coatsey, you told me the sweetcorn was special for me, I didn't know you gave it to anyone and everyone?
There's a 'corn on the ****' joke in there somewhere.
Scroatsey's nob is a joke, you are right there.
Yes I am really a LADY, who has had more cars over the years than I care to remember! I have a silver A4 convertible, so think it's safe to say I am not Scott.
This is my car!
Looks good. It's more then we've seen from some of the other female posters on ASN. We're convinced some don't even have Audi's.
No point in lying about it....only had her a week, had a mitsubishi L200 Warrior before that.
And now we know you're a murderer!!
Ermmmm.....no I'm not and not entirely sure of your reasoning behind that comment! lol
L200 = barbed wire tattoo around your arm, maybe a tattoo on your scalp with a tally of how many people you've 'dealt with', and i bet there was an assortment of toolage in the back as well.
is this you?
Sorry to disappoint but I would like to think I'm considerably smaller than that image! I own horses, so I used the truck to tow a horse box but my friend bought a 4 x 4 so I no longer needed mine. I do have tattoos but none of barbwire and certainly none on my arms!
Do you have a dolphin on your hip?
rose on your foot?
Nope, none of those!
butterfly on the lower back lol
I bet it is a celtic design on the bottom of your back, coupled with some Arabic writing that does not say what you think it says on your upper arm or shoulder?
pics anyway;!!!
No, it's a dragon that I had designed for me by an art student some years ago but it is on my lower back, quite tasteful IMO not your usual arabic writing, or horny devil on the shoulder etc and I have no tattoos on my arms whatsoever. I like to be able to cover things up.
pics? Or id does not exist
Of course it exists, unless someone did a really **** job and it's rubbed off over the years. Have no pics of it at the mo as it's quite hard taking a pic of your own back. Will see if I can get a friend to take one.
defiantly don't let it be chez taking the photo, the man cant control him self !
and im home from work sat in my pants having a good crotch airing.
plans for tonight is watch some films at my mates house.
Fully panted up i hope though alexander?
well aye got a leather chair haven't i so cant have my chebz sticking to the leather, might stain!
Sweaty sack welded to the leather. Not a good look.
Good call Coatesy, that last thing you want is to leave an impression off your scroat on the chair, like a really **** Banksy,
or even worse if its hot, maybe even part of the hairy brain behind. Ouch.
or indeed a leather outline of squirrel back legs!
just sayin.....
......Last Chicken in Tesco Look.
see this is just great, the pub back to how it was, full of innuendo and ball sack. just perfect!
lol, i looked and it is uncanny!
Now there's a mental picture.
Worst day at work ever. Someone please bring me a drink - and make it a double!
Thank crunchie its Friday tomorrow! What's everyone up to this weekend then?
there you go!
£4.50 please
I'm up early tomorrow to drive to Halifax for a wedding then back Saturday. 300 mile round trip. Not fun.
i work in halifax, come see me!!!!!
wow that really is out of your comfort zone fred!
that is yorkshire, where they make tea and orange mountain bikes and have a bank and that!
can you cope?
Up at 04.30 as usual for poxy early shift.
The only people that should be awake at that time are whores and burgalars.........
and they both get paid more than me.
Apart from that nothing planned, hoping the weather brightens up a bit, its been peeing down here all week,
not surprised though its just a normal Scottish summer, the last 4 weeks have been well hot though
now I know what it feels like to be a Southerner..lol.
Bought my first DA polisher this week, was hoping to try it out but might have to wait till next April now.
i am scared of getting a D.A.!
i know i will balls my paint right up!
hand job (polishing pfft) FTW here!
Live life on the edge Chez.
Polish to the MAX!!!!!
I thought westy was on his killer expensive holiday?
You lads been picking on the new girl?
Scuba diving done. Next white water rafting but with out the raft. That my understanding of it any way.
First bit of rain last week, it was great.
Ultra Violet, you ever used a DA before?
I've been tempted but like chez paranoid I will smash my paint up.
Final week day of my holiday tomorrow and off to bristol for a family BBQ. I'm hoping I'll have time to see my mums new boat but I doubt it.
Much else happening the weekend before AITP?
Leather couchers in this weather is suicidal! Ave ripped out ma leather seats in car aswell n now sittin on an up turned milk crate the now till the clammy weather buggers off! Still a bit of on a crate gotta be fun haaa
Ultra Violet, you ever used a DA before?
I've been tempted but like chez paranoid I will smash my paint up.
No Scott, never used one before,
but I imagine it's just like naked wrestling, a little scary to start with, bits flying everywhere
then you settle into it, and maybe you find you actually quite enjoy it, so much you want to involve your friends & family (pets??)
i'll let everyone know if I **** my paint up or not next year when it stops raining.
Another reason for me to not come to Halifax
I was in Bradford this time last year for another wedding! I want more abroad weddings not the ghettos of the north!
Separate names with a comma.

BALTIMORE (AP) Ś Ray LewisÆ last ride now will take him to Denver.
Anquan Boldin, Joe Flacco and a staunch Baltimore defense made sure of that Sunday.
Boldin set a franchise record with 145 yards receiving, including the clinching touchdown in the RavensÆ 24-9 victory over Indianapolis in an AFC wild-card game. The win delays star linebacker LewisÆ retirement for at least another week as Baltimore (11-6) heads to Denver next Saturday.
The Broncos beat the Ravens 34-17 three weeks ago.
Lewis even lined up at fullback for the final kneel-down in his last home game of a 17-year career, then went into a short version of his trademark dance before being mobbed by teammates.
He followed with a victory lap, his right arm, covered by a brace, held high in salute to the fans.
SundayÆs victory also enhanced the RavensÆ success rate in opening playoff games. Flacco now has won at least one postseason game in all five of his pro seasons, the only quarterback to do it in the Super Bowl era.
His main target Sunday was Boldin, who had receptions of 50 and 46 yards, plus his 18-yard TD on a floater from Flacco in the corner of the end zone with 9:14 to go.
Baltimore overcame the first two lost fumbles of the season by Ray Rice, too, as John Harbaugh became the first head coach with wins in his first five playoff campaigns.
Backup halfback Bernard Pierce rescued Rice with a 43-yard burst that led to BoldinÆs touchdown, and ran for 103 yards.
Flacco also connected with Dennis Pitta for a 20-yard TD and rookie Justin Tucker made a 23-yard field goal.
The loss ended the ColtsÆ turnaround season in which they went from 2-14 to the playoffs in coach Chuck PaganoÆs first year in Indianapolis (11-6). Pagano missed 12 weeks while undergoing treatment for leukemia and returned last week.
Offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, who went 9-3 as interim coach, was absent Sunday after being hospitalized with an undisclosed illness. Quarterback coach Clyde Christensen called the plays, but BaltimoreÆs suddenly revitalized defense Ś inspired by LewisÆ pending retirement, no doubt Ś never let standout rookie QB Andrew Luck get comfortable.
IndyÆs only points came on three field goals by Adam Vinatieri, from 47, 52 and 26 yards. Luck completed 28 of 54 passes for 288 yards. It was the most attempts by a rookie in a playoff game.
Reggie Wayne had 108 yards on eight receptions and moved into second in career playoff catches with 91 Ś 60 behind leader Jerry Rice. But the Colts, who moved from Baltimore to Indianapolis in 1984 Ś they still are despised here Ś became the second NFL team to improve to 11 wins following a two-win season and then lose in the opening round of the playoffs.
The Ravens also beat the 2008 Dolphins in a similar scenario.

|Boomer Banks and Rocco Steele, both heavily and colorfully inked, line up head-to-tail ┬Ś a good position to suck a guy┬Æs cock or eat his ass. There┬Æs a lot of cock here. This duo has so much meat between their legs, it leaves you wondering who┬Æs going to bottom. But it┬Æs undeniable that Rocco is an ass pro, and he┬Æs doing such a good job on Boomer hole that Boomer can┬Æt even focus on sucking. Rocco knows his way around an ass: he spits, sniffs, probes and teases with tongue and fingers, sometimes using multiple fingers to stretch that hole wider. Boomer gets Rocco┬Æs cock real wet and works it with his mouth and hand, but he┬Æs fully aware what he wants. He flips around and slowly impales himself on Rocco┬Æs massive wide tool, inch by fat inch, while sticky juices drip from his hole down the shaft of Rocco┬Æs cock. Grunts and moans of satisfaction echo from man to man. Rocco increases his speed and intensity, and they take turns stroking Boomer┬Æs cock until they both explode in white hot loads that Rocco swallows and snowballs.
Seed Points Appreciated!!!

If set of functions are used to provide SOAP server functionality, then the same set should be provided to
Zend_Soap_AutoDiscovery for WSDL generation:
addFunction('function1'); $autodiscover->addFunction('function2'); $autodiscover->addFunction('function3'); ... $autodiscover->handle();
The following rules are used while WSDL generation:
Generated WSDL describes an RPC style Web Service.
Current script name is used as a name of the Web Service being described.
'http://' .$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] is used
as an URI where the WSDL is available.
It's also used as a target namespace for all service related names (including described complex types).
Functions are joined into one » Port Type.
$functionName . 'Port' is used as Port Type name.
Each function is registered as a corresponding port operation.
Each function prototype genrerates corresponding Request/Response messages.
Function may have several prototypes if some method parameters are optional.
Note: Important!
WSDL autodiscovery utilizes the PHP docblocks provided by the developer to determine the parameter and return types. In fact, for scalar types, this is the only way to determine the parameter types, and for return types, this is the only way to determine them.
That means, providing correct and fully detailed docblocks is not only best practice, but is required for discovered class.

Friday 14th December 2007 14:57: Members of the ISIS Second Target Station Project celebrate the successful delivery of protons along the new proton transfer beamline.
View full-size image
December 2007 saw the first protons successfully extracted from the accelerator and transported to a beamstop at the Second Target Station.
First protons delivered to the Second Target Station: 14th December 2007
This major milestone in the Second Target Station Project – the transport of first protons form the ISIS synchrotron to the target position – was achieved two days ahead of schedule and at the first attempt on 14th December 2007.
Signal trace (pink) measured from the graphite test indictating the arrival of the proton bunch.
View full-size image
The protons travelled along the 143m proton beam line, guided by a sequence of 57 steering and focusing magnets, on to a graphite test target located inside the new target station. The arrival of the protons was detected by measuring the electrical current induced in the target station an the beam profiles along the length of the proton beam line were checked.

Some days, the overly-blunt aren't as effective as the subtle inspiration. The up-and-coming band The Never Ending recently released an EP containing five songs, one of them being "Mulholland Drive." The name of the song comes from a historical street in Los Angeles (Santa Monica neighborhood), and is very much about the allusion of Hollywood itself. This is the one song that won't be leaving our 'repeat' playlist for a while. Click play, and see what we're fussing about.
