Oxfam?s report, "Mirror on America: How the state of Gulf Coast recovery reflects on us all," comes just days before the anniversary of one of the most devastating natural disasters in American history and a week before a September 5 deadline for Louisiana residents to apply to the state?s Road Home program for assistance. With the passing of this deadline, thousands of residents in that state will no longer be able to receive needed assistance so that they can return home.
?The uneven and inequitable state of recovery of the Gulf Coast is a national embarrassment,? said Oxfam America President Raymond C. Offenheiser. ?Although the force of the storms was an act of nature, the failures of the recovery are an act of our government. If we refuse to address this as a nation, it will go down in history not only as a failure of leadership, but also as a failure to hold our government accountable.?
The barriers to a complete recovery are most apparent in the housing and jobs sectors.. More than 35,000 individuals still living in FEMA trailers in the Gulf Coast, according to Oxfam?s report. In Louisiana, 82,000 apartments were damaged or destroyed by Katrina and Rita, but the highest official estimate proposes to replace only about 25,000 affordable units. In Mississippi, federal money that was mandated for use in rebuilding low income housing was, instead, diverted to improving the shipyards in Biloxi.
Workers living along the Gulf Coast have been hit by a double injustice. On one hand they can?t afford the rising costs of rent, housing, insurance and utilities. On the other, they can?t find the kind of jobs they need to offset those increased expenses. Only 12 percent of African-American evacuees who returned to New Orleans after the hurricanes were able to find work, compared with 45 percent of white evacuees, according to the report. Compliance with federal labor laws has been ignored with frequent occurrences of safety and health violations, wage theft and exploitative treatment of immigrant workers.
?It was the perfect storm of worker exploitation and wage suppression,? said Tracie L. Washington, president and CEO of the Louisiana Justice Institute in the report. ?We should have found ourselves in a situation where, because of the dearth of employees, workers could have found wages that equaled or exceeded those of workers in places like New York and New Jersey. But instead you had people brought in, trafficked in, through artificial government support.?
Oxfam?s is calling on national leadership to convert this national tragedy into an opportunity to ensure the security and prosperity of the Gulf Coast region, urging the next administration to create an Office for Gulf Coast Recovery headed by a federal coordinator; to make sure all federally subsidized housing destroyed in the storms is reopened or replaced; to require states Gulf Coast states that receive federal recovery dollars to provide regular reports on the use of those funds; and to ensure compliance with labor laws.
?The transition to a new administration is a critical opportunity to rebuild the Gulf Coast better and stronger,? said Offenheiser. ?Not only can we help the Gulf Coast recover, we can take the opportunity of the rebuilding effort to address the long-standing root causes of poverty and vulnerability that existed in these two states long before the storms of 2005.?
?This is our community, we want it back the way it was—or better,? said Sharon Hanshaw, Executive Director of Coastal Women for Change in Biloxi, MS. ?You take care of where you live.?
]]>"Congress should take up this legislation urgently because hundreds of millions of poor people facing skyrocketing food costs need help," said Raymond C. Offenheiser, president of Oxfam America. "The critical short-term funding this legislation addresses is needed, but just as important are longer-term investments to reduce the vulnerability of poor people to the kinds of food price shocks we've seen this year."
The Lugar-Casey Global Food Security Act would create a new food security emergency fund for rapid response to urgent problems. In addition, the bill would authorize substantial new funding to assist developing countries in improving their agricultural infrastructure, thus averting future crises and helping farmers in developing countries—many of them among the poorest people in the world. The bill specifies new investments in research and would encourage new education partnerships to promote agriculture research and development. Perhaps most important, the bill would require a government-wide strategy by creating a new position in the White House to oversee and coordinate action, while emphasizing the central role of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in managing America?s strategy to address food insecurity.
"Congress is understandably concerned about the US financial crisis, but it cannot turn a blind eye to the millions of people who are at terrible risk of hunger and disease as a result of the food crisis," said Offenheiser. "Support to assist poor people is a bargain for the money. It provides taxpayers returns in the form of economic growth and political security."
The Lugar-Casey Global Food Security Act is an important step in the short-term and will help equip the US government to save lives and address the urgent global food crisis. But it cannot be a substitute for fundamental reform of American global development tools. The ultimate path to food security rests on effectively fighting global poverty and right now, the US foreign aid system is falling short on this fight. The next President and Congress must tackle fundamental reform of the law, strategy, structure and practice of US programs to fight global poverty.
]]>?Right now, US foreign aid is not doing all it can to reduce poverty. As commodities, goods, labor, and services cross borders with increasing speed, so do disease, ideology, and unrest. Skyrocketing food prices have set off riots in countries across the world where people were already living on a knife?s edge,? said Raymond C. Offenheiser, panelist, and president of international relief and development agency Oxfam America. ?In this closer, more interdependent world, persistent poverty anywhere in the world threatens our own future. The next president must reform US foreign aid so that it more effectively reduces poverty.?
Oxfam is advocating that four reforms be prioritized by the US to deal with the global challenges of the 21st century. The US needs to create a national development strategy, rationalize its aid structure, rewrite the Foreign Assistance Act, and get its development agencies more resources and authority.
?Global interdependency has made issues like poverty increasingly a national security issue, but our current foreign aid system is a vestige of the Cold War and ill-equipped for the challenges of today,? said panelist Jim Kolbe, senior transatlantic fellow at The German Marshall Fund of the United States and former Chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Foreign Operations in the US Congress. ?The United States must help build institutions, rule of law, and economic development in places like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and the Horn of Africa. Making our aid more effective and increasing international cooperation will be critical to addressing such threats in the next U.S. administration.?
The panel, The Future of US Foreign Assistance: Effective Development and National Security, was part of the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs? America?s Future series during the Republican National Convention. A panel discussion examined options for the fundamental reform and modernization of United States? approach to international development and security. It addressed security measures aimed to fight poverty, encourage economic development around the world, and build a lasting national security framework for Americans at home and abroad.
Other panelists included: US Rep. John Boozman (R-AR), House Committee on Foreign Affairs; Hon. Vin Weber, chairman, National Endowment for Democracy; Hon. Michael Wilson, Canadian ambassador to the United States of America. The moderator was Matthew McLean, vice president, Millennium Challenge Corporation. The event was hosted by the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota.
]]>?A humanitarian crisis is unfolding in Myanmar and the threat of a second wave of death must drive discussions on Sunday towards cooperation, compromise, and creative responses to getting more aid into the Irrawaddy Delta,? said Sara Ireland, Oxfam?s regional director for East Asia, Sarah Ireland.
?Some aid is getting through and there are signs that more will be delivered but not in enough quantity and not quickly enough. The aid bridge that ASEAN has begun to create into Myanmar must rapidly become a highway wide enough to meet the needs of the people in the hardest hit areas,? she said.
After weeks of uncertainty about how to get access to assist those affected by Cyclone Nargis, ASEAN on Monday announced that it would lead a coordinating mechanism that would work closely with the UN to get more aid into Myanmar.
?The ASEAN initiative is a real chance to begin the turnaround for the people of Myanmar. The donor community must also seize this opportunity and fully support it,? Ireland said.
?This is going to be a long haul and a massive aid effort will be needed as part of the ASEAN mechanism and the international aid community, which includes aid workers and agencies from many countries around the world, will need to support and assist in this effort with technical expertise, experience and skills.?
Ireland said that while aid has reached some people in the delta region, major gaps remain in the level and speed of the response?particularly in crucial areas of clean water, shelter, emergency food, and medical supplies.
According to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, 500,000 people lost their homes in the cyclone. According to the UN, only 150,000 were in government or other shelters. This needs to be addressed urgently, Oxfam said.
The agency said with only 250,000 of 750,000 people in need of urgent food reached with a two-week ration of rice, food aid was vital according to the UN World Food Program. According to nutrition research by Save the Children, 30,000 children in the delta are suffering from severe acute malnutrition and will die by the first week of June unless this food gap is filled.
With the fast-approaching monsoon season and the end of the planting season in five to seven weeks, prompt action is necessary if further unnecessary suffering is to be avoided.
Oxfam said while ASEAN was working to resolve issues around access into the country it was vital that donors and aid agencies worked to help ensure access within the country to the hardest hit areas, particularly along the waterways and the dirt roads that have been all but washed away.
Given their experience in responding to disasters such as the 2004 tsunami and Pakistan earthquake in 2005, Oxfam said its staff members and their skills could play a significant role in supporting ASEAN.
In Myanmar, people?s resistance to disease is weakened daily because of lack of food and shelter, exposure to the elements, and drinking surface water that is likely to be contaminated with human and animal waste. This creates a breeding ground for diseases such as cholera and typhoid.
With people exposed to the elements, huddled together in crowded areas and suffering from hunger other risks such as measles, chest infections, pneumonia and diphtheria could devastate already weakened people, especially the very young and weak.
?As representatives from rich world governments meet this weekend they must harness ASEAN's task force and offer it financial and skilled support so that there are no further delays in getting help to those people who so desperately need it,? Ireland said.
]]>The agency called on all donors to respond generously to the worsening crisis as, according to the UN, the total aid effort is currently under-funded to the tune of $260m.
The revised numbers of those needing emergency assistance is likely to be a conservative estimate and does not include the 7.2 million Ethiopians so chronically poor that they receive cash or food aid from the government every year.
?Today?s figures, terrible as they are, show only half the picture. Over 13.5 million Ethiopians are in need of aid in order to survive. The number of those suffering severe hunger and destitution has spiralled. More can and must be done now to save lives and avert disaster,? said Oxfam?s country director, Waleed Rauf.
"Compared with the funds going to shore up the global financial system the aid needed to save lives in Ethiopia is a drop in the ocean. The events of recent weeks clearly demonstrate that ? with the right kind of political will and ambition - action is possible in the face of urgent needs. We need donors to demonstrate that same kind of urgency when responding to acute hunger and underlying vulnerabilities in places like Ethiopia," added Rauf.
Oxfam is particularly concerned about the situation for pastoralist communities in Afar and Somali regions. In northern areas the recent minor rains season was patchy and many people will remain dependent on aid until March next year when the next rains are expected. Further south, if the October/November rains are poor people there will have to hold out until next July.
Numbers in need of help in the Somali region has doubled to nearly two million people since June. Those in need also face huge problems due to loss of their livestock with an average loss of 60 percent of cattle, 50 percent of goats and 40 percent of camels.
In July the UN?s World Food Programme (WFP) had to reduce monthly cereal rations from 15kgs a person to 10kgs. WFP has only received one third of the funds it needs and has an immediate shortfall of 229,587 tonnes food for the next six months. The UN agency fears the impact of this will include increased malnutrition.
?A number of donor countries have already made substantial contributions to the humanitarian response in Ethiopia since the beginning of this year. This has helped to save people?s lives, but now that the needs are increasing all donors must provide additional money,? said Rauf.
]]>The Extractive Industry Transparency Disclosure (EITD) Act of 2008 introduced yesterday would require oil, gas, and mining companies to publicly disclose payments made to foreign governments. The bill is identical to legislation introduced in Congress by House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-MA) in May. (A legislative hearing was held on June 26 for H.R. 6066, which has a growing number of co-sponsors.)
?More than half of the world?s poorest people live in countries rich in natural resources. Access to information is a fundamental aspect of development,? says Raymond C. Offenheiser, president of Oxfam America. ?Senator Schumer has taken an important step to provide citizens with vital information to hold their governments accountable for how mining and oil projects will impact their lives and lands and how revenues can contribute to the long-term reduction of poverty.?
With record high oil prices and diminishing reserves, companies are increasingly operating in new areas of developing regions, including West Africa, the Amazon basin, and Southeast Asia. In Ghana, where oil production may start in 2010, government oil revenues could top $1 billion. Given the weakness of government oversight in many of these countries, it is even more important that oil and mining companies be transparent.
Countries dependent on oil and mineral wealth face a much higher rate of internal conflict and violence. In Africa?s Great Lakes region?which includes parts of Burundi, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania?five million people were killed in violent conflicts in the last decade, most of which were directly and indirectly funded by resource extraction.
?It is no secret that lack of transparency in the extractive industry often goes hand-in-hand with government corruption and internal conflict. The industry suffers as a result with company investments at risk and higher energy prices for consumers,? says Offenheiser. ?This legislation would foster accountability in nations where secrecy has undermined development, democracy, and human rights.?
The EITD Act would apply not only to US companies, but to all oil, gas, and mining companies registered with the US Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). This includes European companies, such as Shell and BP, as well as those in emerging markets like China, India, Brazil, and Russia. Like the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 and the National Environmental Protection Act of 1969, this legislation could have a ripple effect around the world and would be an important complement to voluntary initiatives that may take hold in only a few countries.
?Mandatory revenue disclosure has the power to weed out corruption in developing countries making way for stability and real solutions to poverty that the oil, gas, and mining industries can support,? says Offenheiser. ?This legislation is an opportunity for the United States to take leadership in the international community.?
Oxfam America is working in support of the EITD Act by calling on international extractive companies to show their respect for communities? right to revenue information as well as their right to decide whether they want companies to begin or expand operations on their land.
?Revenue disclosure will give communities the tools they need to have a say in how extractive projects affect their lands and livelihoods. If communities know how much extractive companies are paying their governments for natural resources, they can advocate for a fair share of the benefits to address community needs like education, health care, and jobs,? said Offenheiser.
]]>?The stage is set for important improvements in the way aid is delivered. But the Accra Agenda needs to be backed by urgent action if it is to live up to its name. It won?t have any impact on the lives of people living in poverty unless its promise is put into practice,? said Robert Fox, head of the Oxfam International delegation in Accra.
?This agreement must be a floor, not a ceiling. We encourage all donors to go further in accelerating the pace of reform. Oxfam knows that when aid is delivered well, it brings real results for women and men living in poverty. If governments north and south match their words with action, we could see real progress in tackling poverty.? said Robert Fox.
The Accra accord calls for donors to make longer-term aid commitments and sets a new target for donors to deliver aid through developing countries? own systems. This will be a challenge for donors, said Oxfam, citing a recent survey showing only 46 percent of aid went through recipient country systems. It also includes measures to make aid more accountable.
?We are pleased to see a stronger commitment to transparency, showing what donors fund and how recipients spend,? said Fox. ?And we welcome the recognition that citizens and their organizations have a vital role in defining development priorities and holding governments to account.?
A compromise agreement was reached among official negotiators on Wednesday, without any time-bound targets. But developing country and European ministers arriving in the Ghanaian capital Wednesday night argued for specific commitments and dates for action.
Developing countries and non-governmental organizations have pointed to the urgent need to reform aid to prevent waste and give developing countries more control. Uganda, for instance, had to deal with 684 different aid agreements, from 40 different donors between 2004 and 2007.
?There is much more that can and must be done to improve quality, but equally important we need to boost the quantity of aid if we are going to end poverty and improve access to health care, education and clean water,? said Fox. ?At the UN meetings later this month on the Millennium Development Goals and the November meetings on development finance, donor countries have to get serious about scaling up aid to meet the enormity of the challenge. With more and better aid, we can make a real difference.?
]]>The Extractive Industry Transparency Disclosure (EITD) Act of 2008 introduced today would require oil, gas, and mining companies to publicly disclose payments made to foreign governments. With more than half of the world?s poorest people living in countries rich in natural resources, this legislation would provide citizens with vital information to hold their governments accountable for how these so-called ?extractive industry? revenues are used.
?Corruption and mismanagement thrive in environments characterized by secrecy. Access to information is a fundamental aspect of development,? says Raymond C. Offenheiser, president of Oxfam America. ?Representative Frank has taken an important step to ensure that communities know how mining and oil projects will impact their lives and lands and how money generated for their governments can contribute to the long-term reduction of poverty.?
With record high oil prices and diminishing reserves, companies are increasingly operating in new areas of developing regions, including West Africa, the Amazon basin, and Southeast Asia. Given the weakness of government oversight in many of these countries, it is even more important that oil and mining companies be transparent. In Angola, for example, more than $4 billion in state oil revenues could not be accounted for between 1997 and 2002?an amount roughly equal to the entire sum spent on social programs by foreign donors and the government in the same years.
Countries dependent on oil and mineral wealth also face a much higher rate of internal conflict and violence. In Africa?s Great Lakes region?which includes parts of Burundi, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania?five million people were killed in violent conflicts in the last decade, most of which were directly and indirectly funded by resource extraction.

]]>"Mission incomplete: why civilians remain at risk in eastern Chad" reviews the performance of the UN protection mission one year after the UN Security Council authorized the mission. The report finds a mission marked by serious delays in deployment, bureaucratic hurdles and a lack of coordination. As a result, almost half a million vulnerable people who fled their homes due to the conflicts in Darfur and Chad are not adequately protected and are exposed daily to attacks, thefts, rape and forced recruitment.
The mission, mandated by the UN Security Council in September 2007, is made up of two components: UN police (referred to by its French acronym MINURCAT) responsible for security inside refugee camps and sites for internally displaced people, and the European Union military force (EUFOR), responsible for general security. To date, only 320 Chadian police have been trained to provide security but have yet to be deployed. This law and order vacuum has resulted in increased attacks on aid workers and civilians as bandits can rob and kill with impunity.
"Having fled the violence in Darfur and Chad, people thought they had found sanctuary in the camps. But eastern Chad is a volatile, lawless land and they are now marooned, living under constant threat. Every day, people face the theft of livestock, attacks, robberies and rape. They are afraid to plant their fields or collect firewood. EUFOR troops are doing their job in attempting to keep a lid on the violence, but they cannot do it alone, and urgently need the back up of the mission's promised police" said Roland Van Hauwermeiren, Oxfam's Country Director in Chad.
The report finds that EUFOR, which is almost fully deployed, has made many feel safer by patrolling the main roads, destroying unexploded ordnances, and by positioning battalions around camps during rebel and government fighting. But the EU troops are a military force, not a police force, and are thus less capable of dealing with the upsurge in banditry and criminality.
While the UN must do more to protect civilians now, the report recognizes that without a comprehensive political solution to the internal crisis in Chad, there will be no hope of long-term security for the civilians who are currently at risk. Oxfam thus calls on the international community to start working for a negotiated settlement of the crisis in Chad.
"Chad deserves more than band-aids. If the root causes of this protracted crisis are not addressed, the mission will have spent resources and risked the lives of its personnel in vain. The United Nations Security Council, must task the UN Special Representative in Chad with developing an inclusive peace process, as only with this political mandate will the mission be truly capable of protecting the people and securing Chad's future," said Van Hauwermeiren.
With the mission's mandate coming up for renewal on the 24 September, Oxfam is urging the United Nations Security Council to ensure that the mission is capable of dealing with current security crisis in eastern Chad and giving people the protection they urgently need by:
In camps across North Kivu women have been raped while searching for food and firewood and forced into doing humiliating tasks at gunpoint. Children, separated from their families, are recruited into armed groups.
"People have told us that they feel like they are the living dead and that their lives no longer have any value. The world needs to show them that that is not true, by redoubling their efforts to secure a ceasefire and by providing immediate additional support to the UN peacekeepers. It is clear that hundreds of thousands of people in eastern Congo are not getting the protection they desperately need," said Juliette Prodhan, head of Oxfam in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Some findings from the assessments include:
"There is nowhere to hide from eastern Congo's brutal violence; it follows people to places of supposed sanctuary and safety. With increased reports of rape, forced labor, and harassment by armed men in the camps and communities, it is no surprise that biggest priority amongst people is security. Many have fled for the second, third, or even fourth time. They are sick of the violence and want it to end," said Prodhan.
Oxfam is calling for immediate additional military support for the UN's peacekeeping force, MONUC, to help stop the violence, provide security, protect civilians and allow aid agencies to provide help to those that desperately need it. As Oxfam's assessments show, the peacekeepers are clearly struggling to keep the long-suffering people of Congo safe.
Redeploying troops from elsewhere in the Kivu provinces and eastern Congo is not an option as other parts of the region are also insecure and in danger of all-out conflict. To do so would leave civilians elsewhere vulnerable to attack. In Dungu in the northwest Orientale Province thousands have been forced to flee an upsurge in fighting, including 57,000 in recent attacks on 1 and 2 November.
"There appears to be no urgency in the international community's talks on the crisis, but this is a deeply urgent situation. The world is failing in its responsibility to protect Congo's innocent civilians," said Prodhan.
Deployment of extra troops must be combined with sustained diplomatic pressure to achieve a political solution and address the underlying causes of the conflict.
Oxfam is calling on the UN's special envoy Olusegun Obasanjo to unify peace efforts and find a sustainable solution to this protracted conflict.

]]>Oxfam's local partner organization, Gyla, is assisting displaced people from the conflict areas to obtain official registration in order to qualify for humanitarian support and helping them to obtain necessary documents. Many of them were unable to take any personal belongings with them when they left their homes.
Keti Getiashvili, Oxfam's Georgia Director, said: "Initial reports indicate that the number of people displaced in Georgia will be at least 50-100,000. We are concerned that if the lull in fighting doesn't hold then these numbers will increase."
The crisis is not limited to Georgia. Some 23,500 people have fled to North Ossetia in Russia. Oxfam has offered its assistance to the Russian emergency ministry that is responding to the needs of these displaced people.
The international agency has a team of a dozen aid workers on the ground in Georgia and is flying out an extra two emergency aid experts to boost its response.
Oxfam welcomed the EU brokered truce which has allowed the aid effort to reach people and calls on the international community to do its utmost to ensure the peace holds and that a long lasting resolution to the crisis is found.
]]>In a new report, If Not Now, When?, international relief and development agency Oxfam says that people living in poverty will be hit hard by the financial crisis unless urgent action is taken, adding that the poor should not have to pay for rich countries? mistakes.
"Poor people had little to do with creating the crisis, but will carry the heaviest burden, whether it is families evicted from their homes in Detroit, or children dying in Mali for want of basic medical care," said Oxfam spokesperson Gawain Kripke.
The International Labor Organization estimates the number of workers living on less than one dollar a day may increase by 40 million and those living on less than two dollars a day could increase by more than 100 million. All of this while poor countries are still reeling from the impact of food and oil price increases, and increasing droughts, floods and other climate-related weather shocks. Grain-price increases cost developing economies $324 billion last year—more than three times what they received in aid.
"There is a risk that recessions in rich countries will lead politicians to take the short-sighted approach of cutting aid. Given the tiny amounts of money involved compared to rich country economies, this would do little more than offer symbolic budget savings, but at huge human cost," said Kripke. "Aid to all developing countries last year was $104 billion. In comparison the US and EU mobilized nearly 30 times this—around $3 trillion—in the last few months to help bail out their banks."
"Rich countries made promises and must keep them. But their work cannot end there—aid is not the whole answer," said Kripke. "We cannot repeat what happened around the Asian financial crisis, where no substantial reform was agreed. To prevent future crises and protect the poor over the long term, leaders must seize this opportunity to rewrite the rules to curb instability and make the market work for all, not just a few at the top of the economic food chain."
In If Not Now, When?, Oxfam says that global leaders should immediately develop a new international regulatory institution with teeth, to prevent future financial crises and protect the interests of workers, consumers, and the environment. This includes taking on the secretive tax havens which undermine regulations and rob poor countries' of vital revenue that could be spent on schools and hospitals. It also calls for leaders to build a new representative global governance structure to tackle the economic, climate, food and energy crises.
"We're dealing with a whole new world—the G20 is facing a seismic shift in global power," said Kripke. "It's painfully clear that the world's multilateral institutions are out of date and ill-equipped to deal with the multiple crises that are now upon us, whether related to finance, food, fuel or climate. Reform must include far greater roles for developing countries as well as the poorest. Rich countries are going to have to concede some power on governing bodies like the G20 because they are desperate to get their hands on the huge financial reserves held by emerging markets."
Oxfam urges global leaders to see the opportunity to develop a new 21st century political and economic system that puts people and planet before profits. Oxfam calls on the G20 leaders to do three things:
"Just last week the world witnessed a massive political shift in the US," said Kripke. "World leaders meeting this weekend should harness this momentum and commit to a way forward on finding serious, long-term solutions to financial instability and the global economic downturn that work for all."
]]>In a new report released today, ?Turning Carbon into Gold,? Oxfam said there are ways already available to raise tens of billions of dollars that are linked to emissions reduction schemes. These would ensure that those countries most responsible for emissions, and that can afford to pay, would shoulder the bulk of the obligations. At least $50 billion per year is needed to fund adaptation in developing countries, with more necessary if a new climate change deal is inadequate to keep global warming to below 2ï¾°C.
?With a global financial crisis unfolding, these mechanisms could raise enough money from polluters without governments having to dip into national treasuries,? said Heather Coleman, Oxfam?s Senior Climate Change Policy Advisor and author of the report. "Many negotiators agree this is one of the more practical approaches. Billions of dollars can be raised and invested to prevent future climate change and to help poor people adapt to the negative impacts of global warming.?
The most effective and fair approach for generating adaptation financing is to link into the emissions-reduction system that would form a core part of a post-2012 agreement, where ?international emissions units? are allocated to rich countries. Oxfam says that a portion of these units must be auctioned rather than given away free to countries.
Oxfam estimates that more than $50 billion could be raised each year by 2015 by auctioning just 7.5 per cent of rich countries? international emissions units. This money should be handed to a new multilateral adaptation-finance mechanism under the UNFCCC. Other new finance mechanisms within the aviation and shipping sectors could generate another $28 billion—$12 billion from aviation and $16.6 billion from shipping annually—just from rich countries.
?Helping vulnerable people cope with the effects of climate change is desperately needed today because they are already face increasingly severe and ever-worsening climate change impacts,? said Coleman.
Poor countries need help to build up their resilience by, for example, upgrading national flood early-warning systems, planting mangrove ?bio-shields? along coasts to diffuse storm waves and growing drought-tolerant crops. If countries fail to adapt to the new reality of climate change, they will suffer far greater damage from floods, droughts and hurricanes, and at much higher cost, both in human and financial terms.
?It is extremely important for negotiators in Poznan to reach a broad understanding about how best to raise adaptation money because they have paid lip-service to the issue for too long. It is a vital part of the overall deal—a litmus test of how serious rich countries are in tackling the problem,? Coleman said.
?Poor people around the world bear the brunt of climate change and yet they are least responsible for global warming,? said Coleman. ?Even during tempestuous financial times, rich countries can and should help poor people cope. We cannot afford to exchange a short-term saving for a long-term disaster.?
]]>At a recent event at the US Global Leadership Campaign, Defense Secretary Gates led the call for greater balance when he remarked, ?It has become clear that America?s civilian institutions of diplomacy and development have been chronically undermanned and under-funded for far too long?relative to what we spend on the military, and more important, relative to the responsibilities and challenges our nation has around the world.?
?Defense Secretary Gates is advocating for a smart power approach to US foreign policy, and we cannot have smart power unless we have smart development,? said Raymond C. Offenheiser, president of Oxfam America. ?Smart development means the US must prioritize long-term poverty alleviation alongside defense and diplomacy concerns.?
According to Oxfam, America?s glaring lack of investment in development is evident when one considers that in the 1990s, 37 percent of the US Agency for International Development?s (USAID) workforce left without being replaced. USAID, which has traditionally led US foreign assistance efforts, also saw direct hires working in the field drop by 29 percent from 2002 to 2005. Oxfam states that while some strides have been made to increase and restructure overseas aid, much greater reform of US foreign aid is needed to ensure that the long-term needs of the poor?not politics?come first.
?The next president and his administration have a chance to put smart development in practice to create a better foreign aid system?a better international face for the US?that will help lift millions from poverty and re-establish US global standing,? said Offenheiser.
Oxfam recently released Smart Development: Why US Foreign Aid Demands Major Reform. In it, the agency outlines its approach to smart development including implementing development in the context of the other forces at work in various societies, helping states govern effectively, creating markets that function fairly and working with poor people to achieve the basic tools to generate their own wealth over time.

From the Atari video games and first desktop computers, electronics has dominated the western hemisphere since the late 1970's.When the first microwave oven came on the scene, the boom of faster, better, and more efficient ways of accomplishing everyday chores was a virtual explosion. The transistor was the pioneering component of all electronic equipment the population has accessibility to today. Many spectacular inventions have been conceived and manufactured because of the creative minds of computer operatives.Look at the multi-billion dollar industry of the cellular phone. The first prototypes were the backpack kind that they used in the field during army campaigns. Since then, the cell phone face has changed and is so diverse, now a phone jack can be mounted on the ear for a complete hands free phone conversation. Competitive marketers of these phones have nearly an unlimited field of new technology to sell year after year.

Saturday Night Live Baby Names: Are they ready for prime time?
Saturday Night Live has been around for 34 years, and over its long run it has featured many of the funniest, most creative, offbeat comic talents in America–some of whom have gone on to become so iconic that we've almost forgotten they were ever regulars on the show. As in Billy Crystal, Robert Downey Jr, Bill Murray, Dennis Miller, Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, Martin Short and Senator Al "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough" Franken.
The question is: did they apply their quirky creativity when it came to naming their babies? The answer is: not so much. For example, Billy Crystal named one of his daughters Jennifer, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss and Brad Hall have a Henry and a Charles, Dana Carvey a Thomas, Al Franken a Joe, and Jim Belushi a Robert.
But there are some who did–to lesser and greater degrees–think outside the box, most recently Maya Rudolph with her choice of Lucille. Here are some others:

Dingell plans to run again
The dean of Michigan's congressional delegation plans to stay in Washington. John Dingell says he plans to run again for the seat he's held since the mid-50's.
Here's the Associated Press story:
Two months after winning a 28th full term in the U.S. House, Michigan's John Dingell says he's going for 29. The 84-year-old Dearborn Democrat tells The Detroit News he'll be a candidate for re-election in 2012. Dingell has been in Congress since 1955. He calls it "the greatest job in the world."
The man known as "Big John" currently represents the 15th District, which could be in jeopardy as redistricting looms. The number of House seats in Michigan will drop one to 14 next year, and majority Republicans could change up Dingell's district.
It now encompasses the far southeastern portion of the state, including Monroe and Ann Arbor. Dingell says he's "had three bad redistrictings" and has "survived every one of them.
Dingell Wins

Yeah I agree well let's look -- here three million people and AR fifteen incidents country 99.9.
Percent of that and don't use them for assaults.
These guns that only copper point 6% of the murders that happen in this country so why do we keep calling them assault -- I don't know if you want and what is that you want women to go out and buy and pay off fifteen with a whopping great big fifteen round magazine I mean.
If I have a thirty round magazine but the thing is that yes these guns -- light weight.
They are could really act here yeah I can shoot these -- far more accurately that I can with a handgun or a shotgun.
And these thirty any thirty -- magazines essentially serve as an insurance mechanism because they've multiple intruders.

Scientific Permit Whaling
Information on scientific permits, review procedure guidelines and current permits in effect.
Special Permits to kill, take and treat whales for scientific research
The International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling (1946) is the international agreement which establishes the International Whaling Commission. Article VIII of the Convention states that:
Article VIII1. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Convention any Contracting Government may grant to any of its nationals a special permit authorizing that national to kill, take and treat whales for purposes of scientific research subject to such restrictions as to number and subject to such other conditions as the Contracting Government thinks fit, and the killing, taking, and treating of whales in accordance with the provisions of this Article shall be exempt from the operation of this Convention. Each Contracting Government shall report at once to the Commission all such authorizations which it has granted. Each Contracting Government may at any time revoke any such special permit which it has granted. 2. Any whales taken under these special permits shall so far as practicable be processed and the proceeds shall be dealt with in accordance with directions issued by the Government by which the permit was granted. 3. Each Contracting Government shall transmit to such body as may be designated by the Commission, in so far as practicable, and at intervals of not more than one year, scientific information available to that Government with respect to whales and whaling, including the results of research conducted pursuant to paragraph 1 of this Article and to Article IV. 4. Recognizing that continuous collection and analysis of biological data in connection with the operations of factory ships and land stations are indispensable to sound and constructive management of the whale fisheries, the Contracting Governments will take all practicable measures to obtain such data. |
Recent special permits
Japan has issued scientific permits in the Antarctic and in the western North Pacific every year in recent years.
The 2004/05 Antarctic season was the final year of the 16-year 'JARPA' programme, following a 2-year feasibility study. After completion of the JARPA programme, Japan initiated a JARPA II programme, initially as a 2-year feasibility study, for 850±10% and 10 fin whales in the Antarctic. In 2009/10, the full JARPA II programme commenced and the current permit has been for 850±10% Antarctic minke whales, 50 fin whales and 50 humpback whales annually. To date, Japan has refrained from taking humpback whales.

After completion of a six year JARPN programme in the North Pacific in 1999, Japan initiated a JARPN II programme, initially as a 2-year feasibility study in 2000, for 100 common minke whales, 50 Bryde's whales and 10 sperm whales in the western North Pacific.

Iceland (2003- 2007)
The stated overall objective of the research programme was to increase understanding of the biology and feeding ecology of important cetacean species in Icelandic waters for improved management of living marine resources based on an ecosystem approach. While Iceland stated that its programme was intended to strengthen the basis for conservation and sustainable use of cetaceans, it noted that it was equally intended to form a contribution to multi-species management of living resources in Icelandic waters.
The original research programme had multiple specific objectives among which the order of priority differs between the whale species. For common minke whales the primary specific objective was to increase the knowledge of the species' feeding ecology in Icelandic waters. For fin and sei whales, the primary specific objective was the study of biological parameters during the apparent increase in population size in recent decades. These objectives were the basis for the proposed sample sizes. Other research objectives include studies of population structure, pollutants, parasites and pathogens, and the applicability of non-lethal methods.
The Commission passed a Resolution relevant to this programme in 2003 (24 in favour, 21 against and 1 abstention).
In practice, the Government of Iceland only issued permits for the common minke whale segment of the original proposal. A total of 200 common minke whales were caught from 2003-2007 as originally proposed, although the initial proposal expected 100 per year for two years. Again, as in the past, different views on the value of this research were expressed in the Scientific Committee.

Commission Review of Special Permits
The Commission often makes comments on any proposals its receives from Contracting Governments to establish or modify special permit programmes. It does this by passing Resolutions.
Scientific Committee Review
Although the issuance of special permits is the responsibility of the member government concerned, proposed permits have to be submitted for review by the Scientific Committee [link to 'simple' Scientific Committee]. The Scientific Committee's review concentrates on whether:
(1) the permit adequately specifies its aims, methodology and the samples to be taken;
(2) the research is essential for rational management, the work of the Scientific Committee or other critically important research needs;
(3) methodology and sample size are likely to provide reliable answers to the questions being asked;
(4) the questions can be answered using non-lethal research methods;
(5) the catches will have an adverse effect on the stock;
(6) the potential for scientists from other nations to join the research is adequate.

Safety at sea
For several years, there have been conflicts at sea involving the Japanese vessels undertaking special permit whaling in the Southern Ocean and certain NGOs, notably the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Despite the great differences of view within the Commission over special permit whaling, the Commission has agreed several times by consensus that while it supports the right to legitimate and peaceful forms of protest and demonstration, it does not condone and in fact condemns any actions that are a risk to human life and property, as well as the environment, in relation to the activities of vessels at sea. Its most recent resolution to this affect was passed in 2011 and can be found here.

We have pizza from there every Saturday and it is WONDERFUL. We have eaten in the store and gotten it to go, and it does not matter it is the best pizza on the Gulf Coast!!!!! Thousands of times better than any delivery or carryout pizza place.
We take our own anchovies and they put them on our pizza. Corona and pizza. In a shopping center. Use your GPS
My family and I were in the mood for some pizza and happened upon this place. Its not much to look at from the front, or even inside, but the smell that greeted us at the door had our mouths watering in anticipation. We ordered a large, which was more than enough for three adults (there were three slices left... More
Every time I am in Gulfport, I make a point to go to Brooklyn Pizzeria! It is the best pizza I have ever had. The owner is very friendly and will make anything to order. It could stand a good deep clean, but the food needs no improvement!
We wanted to hit a local pizza joint before we left town and came across this joint while driving around. My wife was not so sure I made the right decision when we walked in because of the upkeep and general visual appeal of the inside, I said be patient they are supposed to be one of the best. So...

Want a big ol' greasy slice of Brooklyn-style pizza? You're in the right place. Brooklyn's is cheap and good at what it does. The crust is crunchy, the veggies and meat are always cooked nicely, and the cheese is bubbly and delicious. I can't say I've ever been disappointed in a meal from Brooklyn's. What more can I say?

OK, let's be clear. I love this place! The best pizza I've had on the Coast. I would rate it up there with Milo's Pizza (an old Gulfport pizza place now long gone and sorely missed). I don't get into Brooklyn nearly as often as I would like due to my travel schedule but I visit as often as I... More
Food was great and a great price. The staff seemed to know everyone as they came in. We were new, but made to feel right at home. Would definitely eat there again if I'm in the area.
After a long drive from Tampa FL this pizza hit the spot. Can you open up a branch in Tampa? Excellent. Best pizza ever!
Enjoy going here with co-workers. Best pizza in Gulfport. Oversized slices are perfect for lunch. Pasta and sandwiches aren't bad either. Go there enough and the staff is good at guessing your order

Baxter Announces Agreement to Acquire Investigational Hemophilia Compound OBI-1 and Related Assets
DEERFIELD, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Baxter International Inc. (NYSE:BAX) announced today that it has agreed
to acquire the investigational hemophilia compound OBI-1 and related
assets from Inspiration BioPharmaceuticals, Inc. as well as certain
other OBI-1 related assets, including manufacturing operations, from
Ipsen Pharma S.A.S. in conjunction with Inspirations ongoing bankruptcy
proceedings. The transaction is subject to bankruptcy court and
regulatory approvals.
OBI-1 is a recombinant porcine factor VIII (rpFVIII) being investigated
for the treatment of bleeding in people with acquired hemophilia A and
congenital hemophilia A patients with inhibitors. Acquired hemophilia A
is a rare, potentially life-threatening bleeding disorder, which, unlike
congenital hemophilia, typically affects older adults and occurs equally
in both males and females.
''OBI-1 has the potential to address existing unmet needs of hemophilia
patients and is a strong strategic fit with Baxters current hemophilia
portfolio,'' said Bruce Ewenstein, M.D., Ph.D., vice president of
clinical affairs in Baxters BioScience business.
Under the terms of the agreement, Baxter will make an upfront payment of
$50 million for the OBI-1 assets, including the manufacturing
operations. In the future, Baxter may make payments of up to $20 million
in total based on regulatory approval of the acquired hemophilia A
indication in the United States and first additional country. Additional
amounts may be paid upon approval of additional indications, through net
sales payments, and as sales milestones when sales exceed $100 million.
OBI-1 is currently in Phase III clinical studies in individuals with
acquired hemophilia A and those with congenital hemophilia A who have
developed inhibitors against human FVIII. OBI-1 received orphan drug
designation in the United States and Europe, and was recently granted
fast track designation for acquired hemophilia A by the United States
Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Acquired hemophilia A is a very rare (estimated annual incidence of 1.5
cases per million lives) and potentially life-threatening acute bleeding
disorder caused by the development of autoantibodies (inhibitors)
against coagulation FVIII. In acquired hemophilia A, individuals
typically experience soft tissue or post-procedural bleeding, in
contrast to bleeding into joints, which is more typical in congenital
Baxter has more than 60 years experience in hemophilia and has
introduced a number of therapeutic firsts for hemophilia patients.
Baxter has the broadest portfolio of hemophilia treatments in the
industry and is able to meet individual therapy choices, providing a
range of options at each treatment stage. The companys work is focused
on optimizing hemophilia care and improving the lives of people living
with hemophilia A and B worldwide.
Baxter International Inc., through its subsidiaries, develops,
manufactures and markets products that save and sustain the lives of
people with hemophilia, immune disorders, cancer, infectious diseases,
kidney disease, trauma and other chronic and acute medical conditions.
As a global, diversified healthcare company, Baxter applies a unique
combination of expertise in medical devices, pharmaceuticals and
biotechnology to create products that advance patient care worldwide.

Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Pretty accused of groping United States congressman he's a Republican at a Texas is name is Francisco Canseco.
Claiming he was inappropriately touched during a pat down in -- -- Saying it was up uncomfortable.
And he had the movie agents hand away.
Touched me.
In my private parts and it hurt.
And it's a natural reaction to move that offensive and the way.
Not a violent way and to move back.
But what was even more offensive wise that he didn't recognize the reaction is being normal and claim that -- solved.
When I was going to be canceled so now he is gone public and -- -- -- former TSA administrator used to run the shop over their sir good morning to you.
And I wanted to get this case of this congressman you've got this mother who claims that are four year old daughter was considered terrorists and their other cases at a pop up in the past week.
What's going on.
Well I think that intrusive pat down needs to go is the first thing.
And I can understand back in the end -- 2010 if they thought they had a bomber in the system where they couldn't detective.
-- you'd put it in as an emergency measure but it's been a year and a half.
And -- is an implicit bargain with the public that says will only put in security measures that we really need and when we don't need them anymore -- pulled -- back.
And it's now time to do that.
OK let me get to pulling back in a moment here on that but this is what the TSA said about.
The congressman's incident in San Antonia TSA has been contacted of the congressman's office and will respond to them directly.
Once a passenger and -- the screening process they must completed prior to continuing to -- flight or secure area now you.
You have a five step plan to fix and all of -- I don't wanna make it clear you you're not in favor of getting rid of the TSA agents right.
-- you went out -- workers in place you just wanna change the way they work now and here are five of your suggestions.
No more banned items that's a broad category let me come back to that in a moment allow all liquids no exceptions.
Give the TSA officers more flexibility and rewards for initiative and hold them accountable.
Eliminate the baggage fees which is interesting in a randomized.
Security can you summarize those suggestions.
Sure it says let's.
Get rid of the security measures that may have been necessary.
Right after 9/11 that now we have other things that can take care of it and and weed those out and that will clear up the -- the checkpoint.
And don't let the officers focus on explosives or guns.
But not screwdriver reasons was all right I've a lot of effort terrorists knows that no more liquids are being tested as they just find a way to put explosives -- -- bottle.
No because we have the technology to detect threat liquids the reason they haven't deployed it is that it alarms on innocent.
Liquids as well.
And it will slow walk the line but my theory is that if you put up a couple of lines and say these are the liquid lines for people who want to bring as much as they want.
They might be willing to wait a little bit longer.
And those who -- -- zip through continue to use the baggage but there's no reason that the public can't decide that for themselves out of the got a book coming out I -- bring you back sometime real soon because we're bound to have more incidents like these will go over the screen and greater depth because there's a lot to get to skip Polly thank you for your time today.
Thank you Aaron at a Washington.
