Video of the Navy Yard shooter released
The FBI says there is no indication that Aaron Alexis targeted any specific individuals when he opened fire inside the Washington Navy Yard, killing 12 people.
PT1M44S http://www.canberratimes.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2uf0e 620 349 September 26, 2013- Autoplay OnOff

The gunman who slaughtered 12 people last week in Washington is seen darting through a Navy building like a special forces operator in a chilling video released by the FBI on Wednesday.
The FBI also said analysis of Aaron Alexis' medical history shows he believed he was being controlled or influenced by extremely low frequency, or ELF, electro magnetic waves.
Alexis used a sawed-off shotgun and a handgun in the September 16 massacre at the Washington Navy Yard. Etched into various parts of the shotgun were several phrases, said Valerie Parlave, assistant director of the FBI's Washington field office.
The shotgun Aaron Alexis used with an etching reading, "Not what yall say!". Photo: AFP
"On the left side were the phrases, 'better off this way', and 'my ELF weapon'", she told a news conference.
Police eventually shot and killed Alexis but not before the dozen people died in the latest mass shooting to shock America. Four other people were wounded.
Parlave said Alexis, who is not seen opening fire at any point in the footage, apparently had medical issues.

"At this point, I can confirm that there are multiple indicators that Alexis held a delusional belief that he was being controlled or influenced by extremely low frequency or ELF electro magnetic waves," Parlave said.
"The etching of 'my ELF weapon' on the shotgun is believed to reference this," she added.
ELF wave technology is used by submarines to communicate while at considerable depth.
Aaron Alexis: shot dead 12 people. Photo: AP/Kristi Kinard Suthamtewakul
Alexis was a 34-year-old former reservist sailor with a history of disciplinary problems and brushes with the law. He had a security pass to get into the navy complex because he was working for an IT contractor.
Parlave also said on Wednesday that etched into the barrel of the shotgun were the words "end to the torment". Carved into the right side of the shotgun were the words "not what y'all say".
The FBI website says a document retrieved from Alexis' electronic media stated: "Ultra low frequency attack is what I've been subject to for the last 3 months, and to be perfectly honest that is what has driven me to this."
A 31-second segment of video released by the FBI shows Alexis, wearing loose fitting dark pants and a purple short-sleeved shirt, moving stealthily through the empty hallways of a building at the complex.
At one point he seems to take cover at a corner in a hallway and peeks around to see what lies ahead, then takes off, walking fast.
At the far end of the hallway, at some distance, people are seen scurrying across from left to right as they flee.
In another section of the video he runs down a staircase and opens a glass door.
He fired his first shot at 8.16am, the FBI said in a statement on its website. Alexis was shot and killed by police 69 minutes later.
Alexis came into the building with the Remington 870 shotgun and acquired a handgun once he was inside. He used the handgun in the massacre, too.
Another piece of video shows him walking calmly through the front door of building 197 at the yard carrying what looks like a gym bag.
Authorities continue to analyse electronic media recovered from Alexis' belongings but preliminary evidence gives a clue as to his intentions.
"There are indicators that Alexis was prepared to die during the attack and that he accepted death as the inevitable consequence of his actions," Parlave said.
She said there is no evidence he targeted specific individuals.

Goa beaches head for makeover with shack policy
Soon, no ducking behind a sand dune or a coconut palm to change in or out of your swimwear. The Goa beach experience is about to undergo a dramatic change with the state government formulating a shack policy, complete with freshwater showers and toilets. Much to the delight of tourists and frequent visitors to Goa, the state government is in the process of finalising a policy for shacks as well as water sports, apart from creating "practical" facilities on Goa's infrastructure-starved beaches. Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar said the beach shack policy should be ready in a couple of months. The policy would help bring some order to the frenzy that descends on Goa's beaches during the peak season from October to March. "We are coming out with a good shack policy... I am speaking to the ministry as well as the stakeholders. It will be comprehensive," Parrikar told journalists during a chat.
The tourism ministry is also in readiness. "The most important requirement is creating very practical facilities for tourists on the beaches. They come there, they need to change clothes when they go for a swim. We are trying to bring in changing rooms for them on the beaches," Tourism Minister Dileep Parulekar told IANS. Giving details, he said the plan was to install "freshwater showers where those who have been for a swim can have a bath and get refreshed". "There will also be other facilities like designated parking areas, toilets and high mast lights at night," the minister added. According to Parulekar, the idea was to eliminate the element of chaos that typically greets the hundreds of thousands of tourists on Goa's beaches every year.

Shiloh Marl Member of the Kirkwood Formation
(lower Miocene, Burdigalian)
Shiloh Marl Member - Consists of (1) a lower laminated, micaceous, locally fossiliferous (typically thin-walled, small mollusks), dark-gray clay interbedded with very fine grained sand and (2) an upper medium- to coarse-grained, gravelly, massive, pale-brown to medium-gray sand with scattered thin-walled mollusks. Thin, dark-gray clay layers interbedded with thin layers of lignite are common in this upper interval. Like the Wildwood, this unit occurs mainly within the southern sheet and the southeastern part of the central sheet. Thicknesses vary within the basin but are a maximum of 55 m (180 ft). In the Island Beach corehole the unit is clayey at the base and sandy at the top. The basal contact with the underlying unit is sharp but there is little reworked debris along this contact. In detail, the lowest 4.5 m (15 ft) of the unit is a fine- to medium-grained, massive, micaceous, extensively bioturbated, somewhat clayey, quartz sand. Small wood fragments are common. This basal sand bed grades upward into a sequence of horizontally bedded, light- to dark-gray clay and very fine grained, somewhat micaceous quartz sand. Color banding in this interval is strong. A very coarse grained, pale-gray quartz sand with some granules is interbedded with this dominantly clayey sequence. The clayey sequence is overlain by a medium-grained, massive, bioturbated, medium-gray sand similar to the basal sand. This sand grades into a thin- to thick-bedded and crossbedded sequence of dark-gray and brown sand that increases in grain size from coarse to very coarse grained up section. Most of the sand is quartz with lesser amounts of potassium feldspar (6 to 16 percent of the sand fraction). Near the top of the unit, quartz gravel is a common constituent in the very coarse grained sand bed. The age of the Shiloh is early Miocene (Burdigalian) as determined from diatoms. The Shiloh contains Actinoptychus heliopelta (ECDZ 1 of Andrews, 1987, 1988). Strontium age determinations on shells from this unit yielded ages of 20.9 to 19.7 Ma confirming the early Burdigalian age. Pollen studies indicate that the Shiloh has unusually high concentrations of Fagus (beech). Other pollen includes Quercus (oak), Carya (hickory), Pinus (pine), and Ulmus (elm) along with exotics. Overall the assemblage, except possibly for the high concentration of Fagus, indicates a warm-temperate climate during the time of deposition.
Claiborne and Wilcox Formation
Claiborne and Wilcox Formations -- Irregularly bedded sand, locally interbedded with lenses and beds of gray to white clay, silty clay, lignitic clay, and lignite. Thickness more than 400 feet.
Jackson (?) Formation
Jackson (?) Formation - Sand, with layers of gray clay, silt, and lignite. Exposed only in bluffs along Mississippi River; thickness at least 60 feet.

R&R Deli -- Great Takeout Takes From An Elkridge Gas Station
Check out the R&R Deli inside the Shell station at U.S. 1 and Rte 174 in Elkridge.
Great takeout tacos with a range from barbacoa to carne asada to carnitas and on. They also make fruit shakes -- just milk and fresh fruit and they cut up when you place your order. Nine bucks buys you a spectacular lunch -- three tacos and a milkshake.
Seriously, R&R is inside the Shell station. They run a spotless open kitchen that is separated from the automotive section by a glass wall.
It's taken longer than expected, but I plan to hit this tomorrow afternoon. Is it still there, still doing good, and do they serve good product around 3:30/4pm?
re: Dennis S
Yes to the first two questions, but I haven't been there outside of traditional lunch times. But I'd have to guess that it would still be very good. I love their lengua, and their buche is very good. That place is really an offal lovers dream, as they have a wide variety of tacos, including nice, crispy but gamey tripa.
re: Jason1
Yeah! That's the real deal alright! I got a chorizo and an asada taco to go. Wowee. They also have Mexican coke but that was pricey - didn't see the shakes.
Have you been to the truck just a bit North on Rt 1? Something like Grande Tortas or something was the name I picked out. I'll hit it the next time, but R&R is a winner. The glass wall separating them from the station is odd, though... (and the neighborhood is not for the faint of heart at night).
But - to answer my third question - they seem to cook to order except the meat, and that was in good shape for both tacos I got. I like the green sauce, too. Good flavor, just a bit of spice that builds.
re: Dennis S
The truck on U.S. 1 is terrific. It is called Pupuseria Lorenita's, although I think the sign says Grande Tortas on the truck. It parks at Paco's Paints on the east side of U.S. 1.
I think the Lorenita's has delicious tacos, and I have seen people order huge sandwiches there as well. I think you'll find posts on Urbanspoon or elsewhere if you search the name.
Tried this place the other day after reading about it on HowChow's blog. I don't have a huge comparison base of other tacos in the area but I thought the tacos here were great, especially the al pastor.
It was a little strange to get tacos from a gas station, but this is a completely separate establishment within the gas station (separate entrance, glass wall between it and the actual gas station) and the kitchen is out in the open and looked well run. The gentleman who was at the cash register was very friendly and offered suggestions about what to try.
Good food in an unexpected location.
What tacos specifically did you get? Also - can you give me a bit more on the address - Google can't find Rte 174 for some reason.
What's with you all up there? I used to have to strive to find a good place when visiting clients. If this pans out on top of Grace Garden (and other places I'd already liked) I'll be having to roll dice or something to help choose where I get lunch.

Time to get back to basics... Each Bill shall be only one single spaced, legal size page.If it´s more than that, we don´t need it! And, in addition, each new law has a mandatory 4 year ´Sunset´ provision, meaning that it must be passed again by both Houses, and signed by the President to stay in effect.And throw in Term Limits for good measure.
The more we hear about this legislation, the more it seems like it criminalizes law abiding citizens and decriminalizes illegal border crossers.

Authorities Peeved over New MINUSTAH Feces Dumping
- Wednesday, August 10, 2011 5:09 PM
HINCHE, Haiti - Authorities of the Centre Department have denounced the practices of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) for dumping fecal matter near rivers.
Since October 2010, authorities have described such acts as "polluting". The toxic waste has nearly taken 6,000 lives throughout the country since.
Hinche Mayor André Renard, along with several journalists, visited the scene where residents said MINUSTAH had dumped its waste within a few meters of the Guayamouc river. After an assessment, the Mayor did not hide his indignation at what he called "an affront to human dignity."
"I ask once again the start of the Nepalese contingent. They are carriers of the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, they come to exterminate us, it's time they leave," he added.
Andre Renard urged people in his town to employ vigilance to prevent any action by the foreign soldiers to use their neighborhood as a feces dump.
The first Senator of the Centre Department (Central Plateau), Francisco Delacruz (Alternativ), describes the dumping of feces near the river Guayamuc as an act of "vagrancy".
The elected representative of the Centre said he would meet with the competent authorities of the UN to rectify this situation.
Also, young people who live in the Kiskeya Village, have begun to ask of the State to take steps to rid the national territory of foreign forces. They threaten to create problems if their voice are not heard.
Members of various social organizations interviewed by AlterPresse, expressed their disapproval of the actions of MINUSTAH. For them, the UN forces do not value the lives of Haitians. They also criticize the seemingly carefree attitude of state officials.

Your clothes speak volumes about you. Sometimes, they snigger
You've got into that university, got the car, updated the phone — but if you're still wearing pointy dress shoes, all of this will come to naught. What you wear tells everyone exactly who you are, like it or not. People, especially women, instinctively read clothes like seasoned anthropologists — slotting the man, his hobbies, cultural background and aspirations. If you have any of these in your closet, take them off the hanger and burn them in the middle of the night.

Published 21 September 2009
During the 2009 World Day for the Fight Against Homophobia, a group of gays, transvestites and transsexuals celebrated by singing and dancing in carnival style in downtown Havana. Until very recently this sort of behavior would have been unthinkable. But thanks to the leadership provided by Mariela Castro the climate has changed.
Mariela Castro (daughter of Raul Castro, President of the Republic) is the President of the National Center for Sex Education (CENESEX), a leading institution in the promotion of the rights of sexual minorities, especially transvestites and transsexuals. With Global Fund support, CENESEX health workers promote HIV prevention with an emphasis on gender education.

Why Do Women Have Breasts, Anyway?
9:45 am, May 11th | by Florence Williams
The eye-tracker doesn't lie. It would show exactly where on the body Roan was looking while making up his mind. As Barnaby had explained to me earlier, the machine would measure the travel of Roan's pupils within one-hundredth of a degree, and would record how long his gaze lingered on each body part. "The beauty of the eye-tracking machine is that it allows you to get some measure of behavioral response. You can measure, literally, the behavior of the eye during attractiveness judgment," Barnaby had said.
Roan began staring and ranking. The whole thing took a couple of minutes. He looked a little flushed when it was over.
He stuck around to see how he did. Barnaby called up some neat graphics and computations. A series of green rings overlay the model; they represented each time Roan's eyes lingered for a moment. Some of the rings were on her face, a few on her hips, a whole bunch on her breasts. Barnaby explained them as he reviewed the data. "He starts at the breasts, then looks at the face, then breasts, then pubic region, midriff, face, breasts, face, breasts. Each time the eye rests longer on the breasts." Roan spent more time gazing at the breasts than elsewhere during each "fixation." He rated the slimmer images with large breasts as most attractive.
In other words, Roan behaved just as most men do, and just as Jayne Mansfield knew he would. She could have saved Victoria University a chunk of change.
Barnaby's eye-tracker results may be obvious, but to a scientist, data are key. Barnaby was preparing to publish his study in a journal called Human Nature. He believed the work backs up a relatively well-accepted hypothesis that breasts evolved as signals to provide key information to potential mates. That's why men's eyes zoom in on breasts within, oh, about two hundred milliseconds of viewing an image. That's milliseconds. "The overall theory is that youth and fertility are important traits when men and women in ancestral times were selecting a partner," said Barnaby. "So it makes sense they'll select for traits that signal mate value, youth, health, fertility." He believes men find breasts useful. Because men liked these informative, novel, gently pendulous orbs—which originally sprang up in the accidental way all new traits do—they selected mates accordingly. The breasty women were the ones who mated most, or mated with the best males, and so the trait was passed down for all to behold. In the world according to Barnaby, that's pretty much the end of the story.
I wondered whether Roan subconsciously sensed that cache of health and youth information in a few seconds of ogling.
"Do you tend to be a breast guy?" I asked him.
"Good question." Roan is a South African who spends his academic time studying rhinos. "Yeah, but not majorly so. It's not like I'm obsessed, like some guys I've met who tend to go on about it. But yeah, I definitely don't have any problem with them."
I couldn't help feeling peeved by the real-world relevance of the eye-tracking study. A man looks at a woman's hips and breasts for five seconds and decides whether or not to mate with her? Was that how it worked in our deep evolutionary past? Was it how it worked now? And even if it were, did it really explain why we have breasts in the first place?
"When you're meeting a woman, you're hopefully looking at more than just her breasts," I said to Barnaby and Roan.
Roan blushed and laughed. "Of course! Cheers!"
"That's an important point," interjected Barnaby. "You're not just going to stare at her breasts."
"Some people do," said Roan.
Barnaby felt a need to rescue the conversation. "This is an artificial experiment. It measures what you might call a first-pass filter, just things that are immediately apparent. Then later, when you're meeting and talking, so many other things factor in, like personality, religious background, socioeconomic status."
"Sense of humor?" I asked.
"Yeah," said Roan. "Of course, of course."
NEXT: "Another study showed that waitresses with larger breasts get bigger tips."

The conversation at the bottom of this post is a good example of one the more fundamental debates within the war of ideas re-ignited by the Occupy movement – the idea of winners and losers.
In the breath immediately after the one he uses to extoll the virtues of a competition-based economy, Andrew Napolitano acknowledges that losers are just as inevitable in that system as they are in sports. This is justified, of course, with the rationale that the number of losers would be far greater in a cooperation-based economy. For as we all know, cooperation is just code for laziness, or communism, take your pick.
We humans are simply too selfish to fashion a society in which people actually care for each other, or to recognize that individual welfare is dependent on collective welfare. Granted, we have no problem being cooperative and selfless with our own friends and families, but for some reason it just isn't in our nature to extend that same level of concern to the world at large. When it comes to anything outside our immediate ecosystem, it's not just those decisive 1 percenters who need the incentive of limitless profit potential to coax them off their couches and into society to contribute – regular folks need it too.
So natural born losers are just a built-in side effect of life on this planet – a reflection of our inherent shortcomings and something we must accept whether we like it or not. Never mind the irony that many of the same people who subscribe to this view, like this guy, also subscribe to religions that insist every man is created by God and in his image – maybe God just enjoys playing musical chairs. You might also want to ignore the fact that we live on a completely sustainable planet fully capable of supporting all of its current inhabitants. The only way we could achieve that ideal would be to guard it as tenaciously as we guard our idealized abstraction that greed is somehow the indispensable engine of the economy, and those 2 ideals aren't exactly compatible.
But even if we accept this idea as truth, as undesirable as it may be, an obvious question remains, and Jon Stewart asks it in the interview – what do we do with the losers? Napolitano doesn't give an answer other than saying government shouldn't be in the business of picking them. If you follow this sort of debate enough, though, you know that the typical reflex answer to this conundrum is simple enough – work harder. Forget that last line about losers being inherent in the system. There are enough real losers to fill those spots. So if you're 20 years removed from college and still underwater on your student loans, or you haven't reached the level of success of say, Paris Hilton, LeBron James or Snooki, you just aren't working hard enough.
On second thought, maybe we need to expand our definition of "hard work." Maybe it's more than just putting in the hard hours. Maybe a more comprehensive definition of hard work would include the ability to gain influence. After all, if someone works hard enough to build a company with enough power to influence policies, such as lowering the minimum wage or stripping worker rights, it's just the free market at work, right? We don't penalize ambition in this country, we reward it.
And while we're at it, maybe we need to re-examine our definition of losers as well. In fact, maybe they're not losers at all. If it weren't for them, the empires of winners like Rupert Murdoch, Donald Trump and Warren Buffett wouldn't be possible. And where would we be without their inspirational success stories and the gleefully servile societies they spawn? Testaments of the American dream, forever exhorting us that we too can leave the losers behind by using them to our advantage, and can become pillars of men in this great country. All that's required is for each of us to acknowledge our own perfectly natural lust for power, celebrate our insatiable greed instead of tempering it, and "work hard."

Soldier sentenced to death for Fort Hood shooting
FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) - A military jury has sentenced Maj. Nidal Hasan to death for the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, giving the Army psychiatrist what he believed would be a path to martyrdom in the attack on unarmed fellow soldiers.
The American-born Muslim, who has said he acted to protect Islamic insurgents abroad from American aggression, never denied being the gunman. In opening statements, he acknowledged to the jury that he pulled the trigger in a crowded waiting room where troops were getting final medical checkups before deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Hasan could become the first American soldier executed in more than half a century once automatic appeals are exhausted. But the lead prosecutor assured jurors that Hasan would "never be a martyr" despite his attempt to tie the attack to his Islamic faith.
Gale Hunt, whose son was killed in the shooting, told reporters, "Anyone who would use their religion to commit acts of terrorism serves no god except their own hatred and self-interest."

Twenty-one U.S. cities have agreed to track and publicly report their carbon dioxide emissions, in a pioneering effort to curtail greenhouse gas emissions where they begin.
Globally, 70% of the greenhouse gas emissions fueling global warming originate in cities.
Each city, according to the Carbon Disclosure Project and ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability, will gather the same data -- "for instance, fire department, ambulance and police services, municipal buildings, waste transport and other services the cities provide or activities over which they exercise budgetary control." They will also assess risks they face from rising temperatures.
The data will be crucial in future efforts to reduce pollution most effectively, quickly and inexpensively.
Is your city on the list? If not, visit ICLEI to learn how your town can get involved.
Nine additional cities are expected to take part in the pilot program, in addition to these 21.
Enter your city or zip code to get your local temperature and air quality and find local green food and recycling resources near you.

He even exchanged a bit of banter with fellow performer Al Murray and his Segway-riding companion, and skilfully piggybacked some lesser reporters' TV interviews. Then it was off to the green room in the Big Brother house, where Stuart managed to get himself chucked out - but not before he'd pulled off a bit of covert filming for RadioTimes.com...

Actually work.
Fannie that and you study confirms just that Chicago students and low performing schools did even better when they were promised money or trophies trophies for good grades.
Joining me now is one of the co -- there's of this study Sally say dot doctor -- stayed up -- -- me.
Is just so interest in the bottom line that you -- found that bribery works why well.
If you think about it -- asking students to invest in their education now.
But they're not gonna see the return on that investment for fifteen maybe even twenty years yeah and for students especially next week is a long title.
Oh by the way if you do well in this test right now going to be twenty box that -- that works and what this is is that we tell them they're gonna get the twenty dollars.
Right after they finish taking attacked if we tell them -- actually got a problem month.
Afterwards I don't try harder but what understands it's not like they have more time to go study so why.
It's all about efforts of east cats that we think -- -- measure of student achievement and ability.
A lot of times they're really under estimating how much students now because they're not -- Africa and attack out.
Another thing that worked you that I found really shocking was that it gave them money or trophy or trophy.
Before that taxed and you -- if you do well you can keep it.
That worked better than if you gave it them afterwards.
So this -- and I actually from psychology and behavior not economics.
That if someone has something I'll work harder to bet.
And they will to get it in the first place -- -- they're holding it in their hand and think about we asked what are you gonna do it that's nothing to get home I'm gonna show it to my mom.
And that that really attached to and then we say well.
To -- -- and have to improve that they really are motivated to track once it did badly did you rip it away from them that they scream and -- yeah yeah yeah you -- a trophy out of -- and also it's very heartbreak and they actually did that yes I'll relax.
-- you found that with all their kids it had to be money that that was the only thing that works.
Yeah at this students get old are they understand the value of money and they see -- trophy they understand that at ISI has already in markets outrage.
Pizza party does kinda things work with younger kids second -- fourth -- they really get excited about that.
But isn't that students attend a school on high school I want cash because they know let -- -- -- -- -- -- -- money.
What a bottom might that I can antiquated -- to make sense -- a lot of it is about positive reinforcement vs just always telling you kid you know you're gonna get punished if you don't do this or your bad.
Giving it cheering for them in giving him sort of positive reinforcement even ahead of time works better I think a lot of these students and his low achieving schools they walk into this test and they don't know why it's important -- leave anything and they never do well on an and they never really hear about the results.
I think -- putting that's for -- on attacks were telling him.
This isn't core and our apps for your abilities telling us how much you know is important and I think that's exactly why -- -- some game and trying its outlook feels guilty next time registry out bribed my kids to do something I think coming out really interest candidate he called it.

I'd like to make an arrangement to have some cassette tapes and vinyl albums transferred to CD format. I presume that I would then be able to upload (right term?) the contents onto my ITunes…
Let me know.

I am new to this and maybe I need something done to the phone to down load onto video. Also our friend did a video on a Samsung digital camcorder and we can not get it onto a dvd. Can you help?

Printing more money won't help
The Bank of England is going to create a further £75 billion in fresh money to try and boost our sluggish economy.
The boffins at the Bank of England are clearly very worried about the outlook for the UK economy.
In fact, they're so worried they've decided to create £75 billion in fresh money to try and boost the economy. This is known as 'Quantitative Easing' (QE). This move is on top of the £200 billion the Bank had already created – or 'printed' – in 2009.
I share the Bank's concern about the economic outlook, but sadly, I'm not convinced that this latest round of money creation is going to help.
The Bank of England first resorted to QE in spring 2009, and I think the move probably did help at that point. You could almost feel a boost to business confidence as soon as the policy was announced. Share prices rose and it became easier for large companies to raise cash.
However, after that initial boost to confidence, QE's impact seems to have lessened. A lot of the extra money has stayed in the vaults of the big banks and not spread out into the wider economy. So QE has helped to strengthen bank balance sheets, but it hasn't prompted banks to lend more aggressively.
Given that background, is there anything else that can be done?
Well, I must stress there is no easy solution to our problems. Recovering from a major financial crash was always going to take a long time.
That said, I do think that policymakers could do one thing that would improve the situation.
The government needs to boost demand in the economy. If consumers spent a little more, some businesses would expand and recruit more staff. Those new staff would then spend more and some further businesses would expand. You'd then get a nice virtual circle of economic expansion – often known as the 'multiplier.'
Critics of this approach normally say that it's inflationary, but when you look at how sluggish the economy currently is, I doubt that a modest rise in spending is going to push up prices.
The government could either boost the economy by cutting taxes or increasing spending. One measure that would make a quick impact would be a temporary rise in the state pension. I like this measure because I suspect that most pensioners would quickly spend their extra cash and not stick it in a savings account. So a pension increase would make the biggest impact on the economy.
You could argue that higher government spending/tax cuts aren't appropriate when the government's deficit is already so high. That's an understandable argument, but, in reality, the best way to cut the deficit is to boost economic growth. If the economy grows at a decent rate, the government will automatically receive more tax revenue and the deficit will start to fall.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that a modest fiscal stimulus would solve all our problems, but I do think it would make a difference. It's just a shame that George Osborne didn't take this approach when he first became Chancellor in summer 2010.
Anyway, it's all rather depressing. Whatever they do, there's no way that policymakers can cure the patient's disease in the short term. At best, they can reduce the fever, and if they make the wrong moves, the fever will only get worse.

Shandong Aviation Group Co., Ltd. is a conglomerate specialized in air transport and related industries. Created by investment from 10 shareholders including Air China Limited and the Economic Development and Investment Corporation of Shandong Province, it was established on the 12th March 1994 under the authorization of the State General Administration of Civil Administration and the Shandong Provincial Committee and Government. The company is headquartered in Jinan.
The various divisions of Shandong Aviation Group are linked by equity. The group has formed an upstream/downstream integrated development and operations model primarily led by air transport, but also including services such as aircraft maintenance, training for the airline industry, hotels and travel, and advertising. This has been achieved with the support of subsidiaries and branches including controlling shareholder Shandong Airlines Co., Ltd., Taikoo (Shandong) Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd., Shandong International Aircraft Training Co., Ltd. , Shandong Airlines Xiangyu Technology Service Limited, Shandong Air Advertising Co., Ltd., and the Red Crowned Crane Hotel.
Controlling shareholder Shandong Airlines constitutes the core business of Shandong Aviation Group. Shandong Airlines is listed with B-shares on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and its primary field of operations is air transport. Over the last 18 years, Shandong Airlines has always given priority to the principles of 'guaranteeing safety, demanding efficiency, demanding punctuality, and outstanding service'. Until November 2013,Shandong Airlines has owned 71aircrafts including various types such as the Boeing B737 Series,CRJ Series and so on. By the end of the Twelfth Five Year Plan, this number will have risen to 100 aircraft - making Shandong Airlines a major airline. The company currently operates more than 110 air routes, and every week there are more than 2000 flights to major cities in over 60 countries. Flights have also been opened to regions such as Hong Kong and Taiwan, and there are international flights to Korea and Japan. Shandong has set up flight bases in areas such as Jinan, Qingdao, Yantai, Xiamen, Beijing, Kunming and Chongqing to create a flight network that covers the whole of China.
Shandong Aviation Group has kept continual flight safety records for the last 18 years, and has been awarded the 'Golden Goose Cup' and 'Golden Eagle Cup' by the Civil Aviation Administration a total of 4 times for its impeccable track record on safety. In 2010 the airline successfully completed its millionth hour of incident-free flight, earning it the 'Flight Safety Star Award' of China's aviation industry. It has been recognized as a national-level 'Customer Service Satisfaction Unit' and 'National Quality and Efficiency Enterprise' multiple times, and its Rainbow Flight Crew, marketing department and Jinan service department have been acclaimed by the China Youth League Central Committee and Civil Aviation Administration as a leading example for young people around the country.
Shandong Aviation Group places a high premium on building its own brand, and has made this the foundation of its aim to provide the best service in the industry. Since 2005 the punctuality of its flights has been one of the highest among civilian airlines, and it has been recognised as one of 'China's 500 Most Valuable Brands' for many years in a row. As the official airline of the 11th National Games, Shandong Aviation Group provided an outstanding service for the event; in 2012, furthermore, it will also become the official airline of the 3rd Asian Beach Games in Haiyang, Shandong - for which it will provide a strong guarantee of quality flight services.
Shandong Aviation Group actively fulfils its responsibility to society. Its contribution to earthquake relief, help in guaranteeing the success of the Olympics, and the multiple times that it has comprehensively completed difficult and dangerous air transport security tasks earned it the accolade of 'Shandong Province Earthquake Relief Heroic Collective' from the Shandong Province People's Government. Shandong Air Freight flight crew were recognized as 'Pioneer Workers' by the All-China Federation of Trade Unions for their contribution to earthquake relief and helping to rebuild people's homes. In addition, the Shandong Air Freight Qingdao Branch was praised as an 'Advanced Collective in Guaranteeing Successful Air Transport During the Beijing Olympics and Paralympics.'
In recent years Shandong Aviation Group has actively responded to competition and challenges in the market, accelerating the pace of structural readjustment and actively implementing internal reforms. Particularly since achieving strategic cooperation with Air China, its profit levels have gradually increased, and it has attained its seventh successive profitable year since 2006.
The Shandong Aviation Group of today is led by a scientific concept of development. It insists on developing and expanding its corporate spirit, and continually reinforces the competitive advantages of its core business. It will strive to achieve leapfrog development by creating a 'peaceful and harmonious Shandong Airlines'.

Thank you very much for your excellent article on the use of enzymes in poultry feeds containing cereals. Algeria is a major producer of barley, poultry feed manufacturers have substituted some corn imported with barley. Replacement rates corn are 25% in laying hens and 35% in the broiler diets. We used an enzyme complex containing several enzymes. Performance of production (laying rate %, egg quality, body weight, feed intake, feed conversion….) were unchanged compared with birds receiving 100% corn Nadir Alloui DVM, Ph D Animal Science
thank you for the good article about Poultry Nutritionist, it is posible to comapare phtogenis additives with enzymes as growth promoters
Thank you sir. This review article very good informative for the Poultry Nutritionist concerning to enzymes and their importance in poultry feed. Regards, Dr. Suresh F. Nipane Technical Manager M. V. Sc. (Animal Nutrition) Suman Hatcheries Ltd., Raipur(C.G.) INDIA
Sometimes you see a literature of a enzyme product, even by an internationally reputed company, you find a long list of enzymes in their product and when you used the product according to their instructions, you end up in huge losses. The companies tend to provide incomplete information in their product rather they only provide information that support the selling of product. They shamelessly sell the product to a client who trusted them and when the product never works, they have many excuses and try to sell another product. But most of the times they never return to the customer. I believe that use of enzyme to improve performance in not a simple task, a nutritionist most study in detail of all the ingredients of the diet and most use some independent source of literature to calculate different options. When feed is formulated between 3100 to 3300 Kcal and product ask to adjust 150 Kcal, which is less than 5% of ME and even with that high energy diet CV is more than 5%, you can never access that the enzyme product worked on not. The real challenge would be when you formulate a low density diet with 2750 Kcal and then use the product to get the results. In this kind of diet, real potential of enzyme could be tested.
Thanks for comprehensive review on Polysaccharides degrading enzymes. I think in the Maize Soy diets particularly in Broilers enzyme supplementation give inconsistent results. Secondly enzyme products are so variable that their cocktail of enzymes vary considerably. As the age grows there is less use of enzymes. If we increase the dose diarrhoea occurs. If we supplement antibiotics with enzymes the performance dips. Can individual enzyme products eg. pectinases or cellulases can come in the marlet? Only phytase in layers and NSP degrading enzymes in Wheat, Oat based diets are successful. At present price of wheat is more than Maize. Thanks.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met with Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken, Jr., 16 Japanese youth baseball and softball players, and four coaches participating in the U.S. Department of State's first international sports exchange with Japan on August 9, 2011. During the meeting, Secretary Clinton reiterated U.S. support for Japan as the country recovers and rebuilds following the March 2011 natural disasters. The Secretary also highlighted the role of sports to empower young people worldwide and how international sports exchange programs provide an opportunity for participating youth and the Americans they meet to share and learn how sports can play an important role in overcoming adversity.
Secretary Clinton and Cal Ripken, Jr., discussed his upcoming trip to Japan as a Public Diplomacy Envoy and the strong relationship between the people of the United States and Japan.
Secretary Clinton said, "We are so delighted to welcome the ambassador and also Cal Ripken, Jr., here today as we celebrate the wonderful program, the Japanese sports visitor program, that's been going on for a long time. But it's particularly meaningful to us now as we reach out to the Japanese people and show our support for them. And as I was saying to the young people and to the ambassador and to Cal, we love Japan for many reasons, but one of them is because they love baseball. So this is an extra special treat for us.""And we're very proud that Cal Ripken, Jr., who's such an icon of the sport all over the world, is one of our public diplomacy envoys."
Partnering with the Cal Ripken World Series, the Little League World Series and Ripken Baseball, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs' SportsUnited Office is conducting an international exchange August 8-23 with 16 Japanese youth, ages 14-17 that play baseball and softball. These young people will participate in clinics and team-building exercises with their American counterparts. Cal Ripken, Jr., will also meet with the Japanese delegation and lead a clinic with them on August 17 during the annual Cal Ripken World Series at the Ripken Youth Baseball Academy in Aberdeen, Maryland. In addition, they are slated to attend the 65th Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. While in Williamsport, the Japanese youth will participate in the Opening Day parade and throw out the first pitch for Japan's game on August 18.
In November, Cal Ripken, Jr., will travel to Japan to meet with youth from the affected prefectures in Japan, including Tokyo. As a Public Diplomacy Envoy, Ripken will lead baseball and softball clinics as well as team-building exercises. More information regarding Ripken's travel to Japan will be forthcoming. This will be Ripken's third trip as a Public Diplomacy Envoy. In 2007, he traveled to China, and in 2008 he visited Nicaragua.
You can read Secretary Clinton's complete remarks with Cal Ripken, Jr., here, and you can find out more about Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken, Jr., and Japanese Youth Lead Initial International Sports Exchange with Japan here.
