Forging Ahead Towards an Inclusive and Sustainable Globalization
"History clearly tells us that closing borders or increasing protectionism is not the way to go. Many countries have tried this route, and just as many have failed. We need to pursue policies that extend the benefits of openness and integration while alleviating their side effects. What we need is a globalization that works for all."
Christine Lagarde, International Monetary Fund Managing Director, in her speech to the C.D. Howe Institute,
We live in an era of globalization, the global flow of trade has more than doubled since the 1990s with more open economies that lower the cost of goods and services. Since the end of the Cold War, the productive global labour force has grown vastly, contributing to new manufacturing and services throughout the developing and the developed worlds, boosting demand for energy and increasing consumptions. In the meantime, the intensity and scale of flows of capital, talents, skills, technologies, information, and ideas have been on the rapid rise over the past two decades.
Despite the vision of globalization to raise all boats in poor and rich countries alike, many countries remain on the fringes and some are even falling further behind. Their exclusions are due to many reasons, including, among other things, competing interests, poor governance, discrimination, diseases, absence of infrastructure, weakening economies, and environmental challenges. The stark numbers on unemployment, underemployment, working poverty and income inequality translate into major setbacks for the aspirations of hundreds of millions of women and men and their families and communities. The disconnection between the preoccupations of people and global political elites is deepening, with many damaging consequences for democracy, the rule of law, social cohesion and human development.
Globalization offers incredible opportunities and potentials, however, achieving an inclusive globalization that can combine economic dynamism with social justice in a sustainable way for the people of the developed and the developing world alike is a key public policy challenge facing governments today. Against the backdrop of new opportunities, unprecedented challenges and shifting paradigms with the rise of populism, anti-immigration, and anti-globalization sentiments, the biennial
Lien International Conference on Good Governance
this year with the theme on
"Forging Ahead Towards an Inclusive and Sustainable Globalization"
hopes to engage leading international policymakers, academics from any different disciplines, and practitioners to come together on a common platform to exchange thoughts and ideas on governance and policies that respond to the call for an inclusive and sustainable globalization.

Try This: Winter Grilling in the Fireplace
Grilling in the winter? In the fireplace?! Sure! Why not! After all, it wasn't really too long ago that home cooks did almost all their cooking in the fireplace. And it sure beats huddling around the outdoor grill while gazing at a vista of snow banks…
All the same techniques that apply to campfire cooking apply equally to fireplace grilling. Use dry, seasoned wood – this will burn hotter and cleaner than wet or "green" wood. Most of the time, you'll want to build up the fire and then let it die down into hot, glowing coals. This provides a hotter and more consistent heat for cooking.
There are actually grills specially made for fireplace grilling. The grill rests on a stand that slides in and out of the fireplace. On most models, the height of the grill can also be adjusted to be closer or further away from the hot coals. We found a company called SpitJack that sells fireplace grills for between $160 and $210.
The same company also sells some pretty fancy-looking rotisserie sets. These are cast-iron and motor-powered spits, and can be used to cook chickens, skewers of meat, or even fish.
If you're not quite up for investing in a lot of fancy equipment, you can always fall back on favorite campfire dinners: roasted potatoes wrapped in foil, hot dogs on a stick, stews cooked in cast-iron dutch ovens, and of course, s'mores.
Now we all just need to make friends with someone who has as fireplace…

I've said it before - you have to be impressed with this guy - nothing gets by Paul Krugman
6 comments:
People spend so much time rebutting Krugman, but more often than not, when he actually responds, he smacks them down pretty convincingly.ReplyDelete
Krugman is wrong all the time when it comes to stuff outside the very, very narrow area of knowledge he knows something about.
- ChargerCarlJanuary 1, 2012 at 9:39 PM
So in other words Vader, he's exactly like every other human.ReplyDelete
As Lord Vader says, a lot gets by Krugman.ReplyDelete
I myself am a rather evil whisky swilling member of the Illuminati. Lord Vader and I often get together on the evenings to plot the conquest of the world. He drinks Talisker, I prefer Laphroaig. Professor Krugman often helps us because he supports the idea that government policies are formed by well meaning bureaucrats and that politics is the driven by the complexities of the voice of the masses.
I think Krugman, like the author of this blog, has never really encountered the people, the masses for whom he writes. The real politics of the masses is a simple cry of rage against whatever appears to be wrong at the time. It has no subtlety, like the grain spirit in blended whisky has not subtlety. The substance of it is added from the top by (single malt) ideas floating around the intelligentsia at the time.
The problem with Mr. Krugman, and with Daniel is they don't drink enough.
We're of the same mind and stuff.

Yes, it's another dreamy guitar pop album from a dude who used to be in Beach Fossils. You've heard this one before, I know. It was only a mere month ago that Brooklyn-based indie rock label Captured Tracks was parading about their most recent in '80s indebted jangle-rock in the form of DIIV's debut LP Oshin. Aside from the obvious similarity in the origins of the project, John Pena just recently announced his departure from the band that DIIV's Cole Smith still calls home, there's the sonic similarities as well. We have the reverb coated vocals, guitar lines ripped straight from the pages of the likes of post-punk progenitors The Wake, and the general sense that you're listening to every dream pop album made in the post-millenial era. To stop there would obviously be unfairly dismissive of the landmark efforts of Smith's cracked kraut inflected work on Oshin, so to do the same here with Pena's debut LP would be similarly foolish.
So ditch all those preconceived notions. This is a Beach Fossils affiliated release, but this sure isn't Beach Fossils and this sure isn't DIIV. From even the opening strains of the sunny "Lust," we're clued into this painfully obvious fact. Where Smith's departure from Beach Fossils was met with angst ridden instrumentals dripping with the influence of Cobain and the downtrodden loneliness of Jandek, Pena mines textures far removed from the work of his compatriots. While Smith's tracks conjured the dark, claustrophobic atmosphere of the cramped apartment that spawned the recordings, Pena here reaches way out into the open. The slow sigh of the string samples that lace early single "Messiah" work as a flowing meadow to the dank creakiness of the DIIV record. And so it goes. The breeziness of any previous Captured Tracks work is dwarfed by Talent. Even in Pena's reliance on programmed drums, the expansiveness of the arrangements rival the shoegaze greats (your Rides and your Slowdives). Pena has accomplished no small feat in making the pulse of electronic kicks sound downright ethereal on tracks like "Elite" and "Tradition."
Elsewhere we're met with compositions that while no less enveloping suffer for their triteness. Though the subtle tropicalia of tracks like "Tolerance" isn't atypical of the release as a whole, Pena toes the line between groundbreaking and terribly misguided. He's crafted a record that while heavy on mood and good vibes is lacking as far as actual songcraft goes. Sometimes seventh chords and synthesized steel drums aren't enough to legitimize attempts at the sort laid back music Pena attempts. "Presence" too, in it's underwater approximations of acoustic Beck tracks could be seen as detracting from the album on the whole, but again it seems like the sort of album where any single track doesn't really hold up to intense scrutiny. When listened from a distance, the record is an interesting fit into the pantheon of the ever-growing Captured Tracks discography, but on close inspection, any real marker of why this album holds that status falls away.
Obviously, that's not to say that this album is a waste of your time. The immediacy of the aforementioned "Messiah" and the slow burning string stabs and vocal samples of "Influence" are enough to provide substance to the album. Talent, when taken as a whole unit, functions exceedingly well as an album to scratch your daily dream pop itch, but when you try to take it as anything more than that it suffers. As mentioned earlier, it was just recently announced that Pena has left his post as Beach Fossils' resident bass thumper in order to focus on this Heavenly Beat project full time. What this means for Beach Fossils time will only tell, but with the added care and attention that Pena will likely give future Heavenly Beat work, coupled with the success of Talent as a whole, the project can only trend upward from here. Heavenly Beat may not yet have it's defining single but if Talent is any indication, it isn't too far off.
Plugging away since 1999, The National finally hit mainstream success with the release of their 2010 album High Violet. Of course, this entailed their first world tour, but in the new documentary Mistaken For Strangers, it's only the backdrop for the relationship between lead singer Matt Berninger and his younger brother Tom, who had no idea that these short videos he was shooting would turn into a public document of their troubled, if still loving brotherhood.
We talk with Israeli rockers Vaadat Charigim about some of their favorite records.
We talk with Yvonne Ambree and Jesse Barnes of Take Berlin about some of the records which influenced the recording of their debut EP, Lionize.

Rising Gov. Mike Huckabee got a taste last week of the heightened scrutiny given words of a chief executive when Micah Morrison committed drive-by journalism on the tragicomic editorial page of the Wall Street Journal.
Morrison, a Republican cheerleader with a conspiratorial bent, lauded Huckabee's ascension and said:
•"Mr. Huckabee acknowledged he was 'aware' of stories that state officials were shredding documents in anticipation of Gov. Tucker's departure."
•Huckabee should name a new director of the State Police, an agency of which Morris said, "Pimping for then-Gov. Clinton...was the least of their sins."
•Huckabee and Whitewater Prosecutor Kenneth Starr "likely will establish some kind of quiet symbiotic relationship" in the course of "liberating Arkansas from corruption."
The effect was to make Huckabee appear an avenging partisan, primed to chase after rumor. It was hardly the picture of the healer that Huckabee has promised to be.
I gave the lieutenant governor a call, though we haven't been on the friendliest of terms since I wrote of shortcomings in his political campaign account. Huckabee called right back. He was anxious to set the record straight on this one.
The short answer: His conversation with Morrison was taken wildly out of context. "I was just amazed," he said. "I thought only Max Brantley reported like this." His version: •On paper shredding: "His question was, 'We're hearing that there are documents being shredded and that kind of thing.' My answer was: 'There are always stories about those kinds of things around here.' "In the strictest sense, then, Morrison had it right. Huckabee was "aware" of stories of shredding. But, said Huckabee to me, "Do I know of anything? No. Have I heard of anything? No. It was just a throwaway line."
•On the idea of replacing State Police Director John Bailey: "I was outraged when I read it. Let me just tell you unequivocally that the one guy who has the safest spot in Arkansas is John Bailey... He's a man of as much integrity and character as anyone I've ever been around in public or private life."
•On a coming cozy relationship with Starr: "Everything I've done for the past year answers that. That's ridiculous."
The remaining question is whether to believe Morrison or Huckabee. I'll vote for Huckabee. Morrison is given to inflammatory nonsense that typically crash lands at the Mena Airport. Whatever feelings may lodge in Huckabee's heart, he has mostly bit his tongue and preached unity through the Whitewater travails.
Politics also argue for Huckabee's version of events. His success with a Democratic legislature and an electorate still inclined toward Democrats is to build bridges, not bomb them.
Huckabee said, "Right now, we don't need gasoline thrown on any fires. Arkansas needs to take a deep breath, chill out and reclaim its goodness."
Amen, Brother Mike.

Imagine if...
An early photo of The Beach Boys, gathered at a park in Westchester New York in 1964. This just so happens to be the same park where Dennis, Brian, Al, Carl and Mike would often perform Satanic rituals. The Boys left behind demonic spray painted images on the walls of a cave in the park, better known by locals as The Satan Cave. These images are still visible amongst the crushed beer cans, syringes and animal bones. In later days some say that David Bekowitz AKA The Son Of Sam was up to similar activity in the same location. SURF'S UP!!!

Outlandish and existential, Todd Snider is a story-telling troubadour. He hails from Portland, Oregon, and now calls East Nashville home — he'll tell you 95 stories about that. A raucous mix of unintentional stand-up comedy, stream-of-conscious ramblings and folk songs, his shows are an event. He's a Hunter S. Thompson-esque character: outspoken, lewd, smart enough to know better, and with booze stories for days. And the fact that you never quite know what's going to happen next with this guy is totally captivating. Snider has more than a dozen albums under his sweaty signature hat, dating back to 1994. His most recent endeavor and third release with Aimless Records, "Agnostic Hymns & Stoner Fables" (2012), features songs like "New York Banker" and "In Between Jobs." He's about as unpretentious as they come.
Todd Snider plays Tuesday, March 17, at Flour City Station, 170 East Avenue. 8 p.m. $20.50-$25. flourcitystation.com; toddsnider.net.

I felt like I'd aged two decades this weekend as I worried about my child's breathing and whether he'd end up in the hospital. Worrying wears on me like an actual weight, causing my body to ache at the end of the day, my spine to feel like it's been carrying an extra load.
I was surprised at the extent of my anxiousness. Unlike what I'll call existential anxiousness ("Am I a good mother? Am I making the right choices? Does my kid have the life I'd want for him?") this was more tangible. If my son's breathing didn't improve, we'd be headed to the pediatrician. If they couldn't devise a treatment plan with a fair chance of resolving his crackly lungs, they'd send us to UT's Children's Hospital. Once there, an IV and some x-rays were certainties, and while I am 100% supportive of getting necessary medical care, the idea of having to hold my son down for an x-ray or while being poked until a vein could be found made me sick to my stomach. I don't even mind the idea of being in the hospital; it's the analysis/ admitting process that I dread.
I'll live with this specific anxiety until Javi (hopefully) outgrows his baby asthma. Every cough or sneeze has the potential to land him in the hospital. Every hospital visits brings the surety of a needle stick and x-rays. While I try not to be hypervigilant*, I also know that quick intervention can prevent that nightmare, so I'm trying to find my equilibrium. I don't want my child to spend his life indoors in a climate-controlled, air-purified room. I don't want my child to be admitted to the hospital if we can prevent it. Those desires feel contradictory.
For now, I'm embracing the disparity. His room will soon show up on satellite maps for the electricity usage: humidifier, sound machine, air purifier, video monitor, space heater. It's a no-cat, no-dog, furbag-free zone. He remains free to roam (insofar as a crawler can) the living room, though, where the dogs and cats get to hang out, too. I will continue to give him ample outdoor time where he's allowed to chew on sticks and rip up grass and get dirt between his toes.
And thanks to the miracle of modern medicine, I will prevent where possible (Benadryl), intervene quickly (Albuterol nebulizer), and ask for help when I have to (pediatrician, temporary steroids for the inflammation, Tylenol for the painful coughs).
As for me, I will take medicine when I feel sick. Though not doing so helps me understand what Javi's feeling (my throat hurts, so perhaps his throat hurts; warm liquids make me feel better, perhaps I'll warm his bottle up), I need to be strong enough (emotionally, if nothing else) to bear the weight of the anxiety so my son doesn't have to.
I will seek help. The other night my husband sent me to bed with a mug of Theraflu and instructions not to take the baby monitor. Much as I wanted to hear Javi, the break gave me a chance to recover a bit. I called my mom and was reminded that anxiousness is okay. I unloaded every worry and question on my pediatrician, who answered every one.
And I'll blog. You guys… thanks.
Current plan, for anyone else trying to manage baby asthma or allergies: cold-mist humidifier to facilitate drainage (yea, yuck), NO fan (makes coughing worse), air purifier. I tried elevating his mattress but he kept moving his head to the low side. He gets Albuterol treatments every four – six hours while awake, a half dose of Tylenol when the coughing makes him cry, and Benadryl to manage the snotty nose so he can eat. (Note: my doc gave us the go-ahead and dose on Benadryl, so be sure to ask yours.) He's on an antibiotic (he had ear infections) and steroid (to kick the crackly lungs) for the next week. In the morning we mix them with a shot of formula, then follow with a regular bottle. In the evening we mix them with yogurt and he eats them off a spoon.
*Example of my parenting philosophy:
Husband: Is Javi chewing on a stick?
Me: Yup!
Husband: Did you clean it?
Me: It's a stick. <No>
Husband: Um, how about that grass he's eating?
Me: Yup. Grass. He's a kid. Kids eat grass sometimes.
<AAAAAAND, I'll note that we don't use chemicals on our front lawn nor do the dogs hang out there (so no pee or poop) and I'm certain neither the grass nor stick were toxic to animals/ people.>

Ho Ho Ho!
Don't hate me for this reminder, but I'm grasping for straws here trying to beat the heat anyway I can!!! This also serves as a reminder for those girls who are doing my Christmas in July swap, ship date is July 31 unless you've made other arrangements.
Yet another 100+ day here in the Ozarks, and I'm getting worried! My neighbors well went dry a couple of weeks ago, ponds are drying up, gardens are toasting and animals are roasting, this is unreal!! No rain in weeks just makes this summer the worst! I'm not a big fan of winter but I do miss the snow when we don't get any, and hopefully it will be cooler by then? lol I'm trying to stay positive but my spirit is drying up along with everything else, I've got to hang on till fall....if we even have one! Ho Ho it's HOTTTTT!!!

Talking with an American colleague this afternoon, he mentioned driving past a place where they couldn't believe the sign.
Westward Ho!
It's a town in north Devon, on the coast, and the name is all about direction and interjection. Apparently the place was entirely more mundane than the obvious translation of the sign would suggest.

I haven't been to a movie theatre in almost 20 years! "Ghosts of the Abyss" by James Cameron in 3D is a movie that has attracted my interest. I saw "Titanic" DVD on my Power Mac.
3D movies are ok, but I'm not that big of a fan of having to wear goggles or a head set that someone else has been wearing before me.
wdlove - you should make an effort to go see a movie if you haven't been in 20 years. Every once in a while seeing something on the big screen is quite impressive.
I'd definitely go see Matrix Reloaded at the theater, one film that won't work as well on the tv or computer....
I've seen 2 3D movies. One was at an Imax theater and it was about an boy immagrant and his family coming to NY in the early 1900's the other was the Terminator attraction at Universal pictures in LA. Both times you just had to wear this oversized bozo-looking plastic"glasses." The thing at the Imax was okay, but the Terminator "ride" was freakin' awesome. I think any aciton or adventure movie would totally kick @ss in 3D.
I heart there will be a cinema opening, which has this 3d screen.
But is that possible ? a show is nothing else than projected light. But perhaps it will one day be possible to do something like that. Who knows.
I wish James Cameron would go onto some new subject matter. The guy is a genius and he needs to start making some kickass movies again. Don't go for the drama angle again James. You have a tin ear for it.
Somebody has to say it.
Imax 3D in more cinemas & 3D in digital
In the last two weeks I read that James Cameron is persuading cinemas to upgrade their screens & projectors to show Ghosts Of The Abyss the way it was meant to be shown. We could very well see more movies released in the same Imax 3D format which personally I really enjoy (except for the high prices compared to the average movie).
I wonder if normal aspect cinema screens can also do 3D using similar technology as the Imax 3D system. Perhaps this is something that could be more economically feasible with digital projectors that need less space (since the movies come on hard drives, not film) and can play back more frames per second (since the format is digital).
Okay, I have to get this obligatory few words out to James Cameron: MOVE ON!!!!
Okay, that feels better. Ahem! Besides that, I really enjoy his films. Saw Aliens probably 3-4 times back to back when it came out. Maybe he should concentrate on Avatar or something like that.
The funny thing, in Albert Brook's film, THE MUSE, Cameron makes a cameo wherein Sharon Stone plays a muse who gives him and Martin Scorcese some helpful advice. Her advise to Cameron? "Stay away from the water."
Well, it looks like that's an impossibility for Cameron. Hmmm. Interesting.
I'll probably go see the 3D show at some point, but I just don't find the hook to draw me. Feels like a "been there, done that" scenario, if you know what I mean.
Dude, what about Lord of the Rings? If you haven't see The Two Towers on bigscreen, you missin' out.

They are indeed. Thanks for the read and comment!Delete
Nice work. I like how you conveyed what seemed to be the story of a wolf without saying so. Way to convey your imagery! – Rob's surf reportReplyDeleteReplies
Rob, thanks ever so much for the read and comment. Very glad it came across in the way that it did to you. Cheers!Delete
Liked the naming of the characters particularly, as well as the low perspective.ReplyDelete

Ok, so let's be realistic not many of us can afford to splurge on a completely new wardrobe, but there are some minor adjustments to be done to ensure that your wardrobe is up to par for the new year. Instead of adding to your wardrobe, removing things may be the first step in completely revamping your look! Here are some trends we must say goodbye to for 2015 and possibly for GOOD!

Happy Holidays and Good luck!

Kolkata: The know-how behind German homeopathic remedies for ten ailments will be shared with Indian experts to facilitate their production locally with indigenous resources, it was announced here Tuesday.
Indian naturopaths will learn about the German formulae of homeopathy medicines for disorders, including digestive and sleep disorders and cold and flu.
According to Mathias Hevert, managing director of Hevert Arzneimittel GmbH and Co.KG, Nussbaum, Germany, the company will issue licence to M. Bhattacharyaa and Co. Pvt Ltd. of the Emami Group for producing select liquid formulations.
"We will licence selected liquid formulations to M. Bhattacharyaa which will be marketed and manufactured by them for a price that is affordable for common people.
"We will basically share the know-how on medications for digestion, sleeping disorders and cold and flu," Hevert told media persons here.
He was in Kolkata to announce the technical collaboration between the family-run German homeopathic enterprise and Emami Group's two homeopathic arms: M. Bhattacharyaa and Co. Pvt Ltd and King and Co. (Homoeo Chemist) Pvt. Ltd.
Six products from the Hevert stable are being introduced in India as part of the collaboration. These will include remedies for stress relief, pain and allergy etc.
Hevert said homeopathy medicines have a "strong foothold" in Germany though the discipline is not mainstreamed as much as it is in India.
"We are conducting clinical research that shows homeopathic medicines work. We hope to do clinical studies for German-manufactured remedies in India in the future," he said.

In Pictures: BUPA Great North Run 2013
Elite runners, celebrities and thousands of members of the public take part in the 33rd Great North Run on Tyneside.
Ethiopian Kenenisa Bekele held off Mo Farah to finish first in the men's elite race of the 33rd Great North Run. Those taking part faced wet and windy conditions for the 13.1 mile trek from Newcastle to South Shields. More than 55,000 people took part in the event - the world's most popular half marathon - with many running for charity.
Kenenisa Bekele celebrated his success on the podium alongside Farah and Haile Gebrselassie, also from Ethiopia, who came third.
The Great North Run got under way in Newcastle with the elite group of women. The line-up included Kenyan athlete Priscah Jeptoo (second from right) who would go on to win the race.
Joining Priscah Jeptoo, centre, among the medals were second place runner, Ethiopia's Meseret Defar, left, and Tirunesh Dibaba who came third.
Great Britain 400m world champion Christine Ohuruogu got the 2013 Great North Run under way.
Thousands of people streamed through the start line of the main race with plenty more gathering to watch.
Emmerdale's Tony Audenshaw is among the many celebrities taking part in this year's run.
Former Premier League footballer Robbie Savage and Spice Girl Mel C prepared for the start of the 33rd Great North Run in Newcastle.
Presenters from the BBC's Antiques Roadshow got ready for the Great North Run with Paul Waugh, centre, from Teesside dressed as Captain Caveman.
Radio 2 DJ Jo Wiley was at the start line of the Great North Run as rain began to fall.
Atomic Kitten's Natasha Hamilton waited with a charity fun runner at the start of the race.
The Red Arrows fly over thousands of runners as they cross the Tyne Bridge.
Britain's David Weir heads to the finish line to win the men's wheelchair race in the Great North Run.
David Weir, centre, received his medal and trophy for winning the men's wheelchair race with Canada's Josh Cassidy, left, who came second, and Spain's Rafa Botello Jiminez who finished third.
Mo Farah, Kenenisa Bekele and Haile Gebrselassie battled it out in the elite men's run before Bekele eventually came out on top.
Mo Farah was still smiling - and still had time for his famous "Mobot" celebration - despite being narrowly beaten in the Great North Run.

After a second week of disastrously low ratings for ''Girls Club,'' a new drama from one of television's most celebrated writer-producers, David E. Kelley, the Fox television network canceled the series last night.
The show will not be broadcast again. Fox will replace it with a repeat of the series ''Boston Public'' next Monday and after that will show reality specials for the rest of the month.
For Fox, the problem created a particular dilemma, making it choose between supporting a show that was failing or looking as if it was not supporting Mr. Kelley. It is already facing a number of problems with this year's prime-time schedule, including disappointing results for other new shows, like ''Firefly,'' and interruptions in its prime-time lineup because of postseason baseball this fall.
Canceling a show from Mr. Kelley is especially significant because he has a contract to develop shows for Fox's affiliated studio, 20th Century Fox Television; both that studio and Fox Broadcasting are owned by the News Corporation. Mr. Kelley's track record has made him one of the most important and valuable producers in Hollywood, with credits that include hits like ''Picket Fences,'' ''Ally McBeal,'' ''The Practice'' and ''Boston Public.''
But ''Girls Club,'' an hourlong show about women's issues and sexy young lawyers in a San Francisco law firm, was the least-watched show on six networks at 9 p.m. Monday. It was easily surpassed by ''Everwood,'' the entry on the far smaller WB network, and even by the offering on the UPN network, ''Girlfriends.''Continue reading the main story
Only 5 million viewers watched ''Girls Club,'' and its rating among the young adult audience that Fox most prizes -- viewers 18 to 49 years old -- was only a 2.1. Each rating point in that group is worth about 1.3 million viewers. By contrast, a repeat of ''Everybody Loves Raymond,'' a CBS comedy, had a 7.2 rating for the 18-to-49 group at 9 Monday night. It had a total of 19.5 million viewers.
In addition, ''Girls Club,'' which replaced Mr. Kelley's ''Ally McBeal'' in the Monday at 9 time period on Fox, drew fewer than half the number of viewers that ''Ally McBeal'' attracted at this time last year. In its second episode last fall, ''Ally McBeal'' pulled in 10.2 million viewers.
The poor performance of ''Girls Club'' came at a particularly difficult time for the network. Fox, like all the other networks, is beginning a special ratings period called a sweep month on Thursday night. Networks generally remove their lowest-rated shows before a sweep month starts to keep their monthly averages from falling too low.
Mr. Kelley, who is the only show creator to win Emmy awards for best drama and best comedy in the same season, has never had a show canceled this fast.
Executives with knowledge of his deal with both the Fox network and 20th Century Fox Television said that removing the show from the air now would mean a significant financial loss for the company. Fox ordered 13 episodes of the show, and 6 have already been completed.
One senior network entertainment executive estimated that Fox was paying $1.6 million to $1.7 million for each ''Girls Club'' episode, a higher than usual price for a new series.
Beyond the money that may be lost, Fox executives must also be concerned about how the decision to drop the show will affect future dealings with Mr. Kelley. An executive from the Fox studio said Mr. Kelley was still committed to developing other shows for the studio.
Mr. Kelley issued a statement last night, saying, ''While I am disappointed that the show did not succeed, I remain proud of the entire cast and crew of 'Girls Club.' ''
Executives from the Fox network declined to comment.
But one executive who has been involved with the show's production said ''Girls Club'' presented special problems for Fox because it had been delivered to the network at such a late date that little could be done to change it before it was put on the air. Because of Mr. Kelley's track record, he is not required to deliver a pilot before he gets a time-period commitment from the network.
When Mr. Kelley wrote and delivered ''Boston Public'' under the same circumstances two seasons ago, that formula proved to be no problem. The series became a success for Fox.
The only Kelley series prior to ''Girls Club'' that failed to survive its first season was ''Snoops,'' an ABC show. But Mr. Kelley had little direct involvement with that show. He wrote every episode of ''Girls Club.''
But unlike almost all of Mr. Kelley's earlier series, this one was not well received. Critics assailed it, saying it had no clear storytelling focus, dealt with women's work issues in ways that seemed superficial and out of date, and lacked the humor of ''Ally McBeal,'' a show that covered much the same territory of sex-role issues in a legal setting.Continue reading the main story

World Forestry Congress shows that the forestry sector is coming out of the 'wooden box'
"WWF welcomes the Durban Declaration coming out of the World Forestry Congress. The Congress showcased numerous examples of the role forests can play as a solution to climate change and in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Forestry as a sector is coming out of its "wooden box" into the wider landscape – mixing more with farming and responding more directly to the diverse aspirations of people, from local communities to urban consumers.
As we head into the UN Climate Change talks in Paris, all parties need to make sure the new climate deal creates incentives for the actions needed to reduce forest loss and degradation rates to near zero by 2020.
From responsible forest management to tenure reform, a host of solutions are needed to conserve forests and deliver on their full potential as a solution for people and climate. The common message coming out of the WWF "Forests for Life" campaign was collaboration – the solutions are complex but never before has there been so much readiness among people and organizations of all stripes to work together to implement these solutions."

Your Next Stamp December Release Blog Hop
Hello and welcome to the Your Next Stamp December new release blog hop.
This month we are featuring a variety of stamps, including cute animals, fun backgrounds, and my favourite LOTS of coffee related goodies. The dies this month are wonderful too, including a sweet treat box and long awaited stitched oval dies!
This release there is theme to my projects. I am still working on a few final handmade gifts and this month I made a number of new decorated notepad holders. They make a great gift for a teacher, boss, and friends. My first notepad holder, is one made for 3x3 sticky notes. I used the cute Word Critters Cats and Dogs set to decorate this easel style note holder. The paper is Simple Stories We Are Family.
I fussy cut the darling cat and hung him from the heat embossed sentiment. I used embroidery thread to create a ball of yarn to decorate the holder.
The back of the note holder was also decorated.
Here is a look at the stamp set used:
For my second project, I made a book style cover for a 5 x 8 inch notepad and decorated using the fabulous and fun Java Geek and Coffee Rings.
I paper pieced the cute coffee take away cup and featured it on the pattern paper cut using the stitched oval dies. The coffee title was heat embossed on navy cardstock using white embossing powder.
Here is a look at the inside of the holder. I created pockets to hold the notepad, so they can be changed out when they are empty.
Here is a look at the stamp and dies used:

Poinsettias are now arriving at your local garden centers. They look quite festive and it's very tempting to make purchase. Who says it has to be December before you display a few Poinsettias? I think you should give in to a little temptation.....and buy a few.....especially when they look their very best right now. In about 2 to 3 weeks the stores will receive their final shipments....so if you want to get a few good ones you should get them fairly soon.
Now to keep your poinsettias in good shape through the holidays. There are a few things that you can do to insure that they will.
If the poinsettia you decide to buy is wrapped with foil.......remove it. Even though the foil looks pretty it prevents light from reaching the bottom leaves and they will turn yellow and drop. It also interferes with you seeing whether the plant needs water. Poinsettias usually dry out fast especially if the heat is turned on in your home. Check the soil daily for its water needs.
Keep your poinsettia in the brightest light possible. It was grown in greenhouses in bright sunny conditions. When it comes into your home, it's light source is usually drastically reduced. Now that doesn't mean that it can't be displayed in other parts of the house occasionally or when you're entertaining. Just return it to a brighter area the next day.
Every 4-6 weeks your poinsettias would enjoy a little food. Use a water soluble fertilizer 1 tablespoon to a gallon of water. Even your other inside plants would enjoy that too.
Now if you follow these few little tips your poinsettias will look great and will last well into the new year. Then if you'd like, you can plant them outside in a nice sunny location......but away from any extra nighttime light......like a street light or porch light. Then for the 2018 holidays you will have your very own poinsettias adding a little pizzazz to your landscape.

This is the purpose for which we are called,
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. (1 Peter 2:9)
There is a worship that expresses the heart, and worship that involves the mind, and a worship that involves the body. There is a worship that is giving praise upward, a worship that is receiving instructions from above, and a worship that carries out instruction in the world around us.
We need all three types of worship. Some people focus primarily on speaking or singing praise to God. Praise is good, but if all we do is praise God, without ever listening to what He says, we have to ask whether we believe the words we are saying. If He is really all wise and all loving, then we need to be attentive to what He is telling us, because He is worth listening to.
At Bethel Church, we take the study of God's Word seriously. And, the more we grasp His greatness, His power, His love, His character, the more we understand His worthiness, the better we can declare His worth – the better we can worship.
Our worship is a response to what God has revealed Himself to be through His Word, not only in who He is, but also in what He has done for us through His son, Jesus. Worship includes all our responses to God – including a response with our mind, such as our belief in God's worthiness, our emotions, such as love and trust, and our actions and our words. Our heart expresses itself in words and songs; our mind is active when we want to learn what God wants us to do, and our bodies and strength are involved when we obey and when we serve.
We hope you'll experience worship at Bethel Church first-hand. We can only say so much about it, because worship is experiencing the presence of Christ. Would you consider joining us?
Bethel Church is a family of believers committed to making disciples of Jesus who glorify God in all of life.

Favorite movie.
Oh hell, why don't you ask me to pick my favorite son? Wait, I could probably do that most days. The answer depends on who's being the bigger jackass. As far as movies go, I have two favorites. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to put one above the other.
The Departed. If you've seen it, you may think you know why I love it. It's bulging with the F bomb and that bomb is so beautifully dropped in the most creative and foul ways - pure brilliance. Also there's Leo. That's all I can say about that since my husband reads this blog. This movie is also responsible for my girl crush on Vera Farmiga. Throw in Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, and Mark Wahlberg directed by Martin Scorsese and really, you just can't go wrong.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Yes, even though it's Swedish, subtitled in English. This movie is fantastic. Don't be prick American and refuse to read subtitles because you will be missing out. Also, be warned, goth chicks might start looking sexy to you after you see it because Noomi Rapace is hawt! And read the book first. You'll appreciate it that much more (and be prepared for the truly disturbing yet absolutely necessary to really 'get' Lisbeth rape scene). I know Hollywood is making a US version and so far I'm happy with the casting but they've got A LOT to live up to and I sincerely hope they don't fuck it up. This version is available on DVD in the US now so GO GET IT!
Tomorrow, favorite television show.

Hard To Believe This Is The Banshees
mike | Australia | 07/27/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)
"After listening to 'Superstition' right after my previous Siouxsie purchases, 'Juju' 'Keleiodoscope' and 'Once Upon A Time' I must say I couldn't believe my ears. I'd just gone from screepy, scary and sometimes downright abrasive to something mellow, produced and almost poppish. 'SELLOUT!' voices in my head screamed.However, once I got over myself (as i hope some other reviewers here will one day) I realised that 'Susperstition' when viwed objectively rather than in context of The Banshees wide catologue holds very good ground of its own right. While Stephen Hague's production gets a little over zealous at times (the layered synth work does get somewhat cluttering) and the lyrics are somewhat unfocused ('Cry' appears to be addressing two issues here, and as for 'Little Sister' and 'Silver Waterfalls, well they just don't make sense) there are many strong tracks on here that are either catchy or will eventually grow on you.Siouxsie has always being provocative, and on several count here doesn't fail. 'Kiss Them For Me' is subjected around Jayne Mansfield's tragic crashing incident and 'The Ghost In You' reflects the Tinnamen Square massacre. And how can you forget 'Fear (Of The Unknown)' where Siouxsie asks us what it would be like to jump off a tall building? However the overall mood of the album is melancholic rather than gothic or scary as is the Banshee trademark, the songs being slices of brooding music to dance to rather than have nightmares over. Siouxsie's voice also is somewhat more subduded and she proves here she is capable of singing.Favorite cuts are 'Kiss Them For Me' (despite being WAY overproduced) 'Drifter' 'Little Sister' 'Silver Waterfalls' and 'The Ghost In You' (with its new age synths here sounds like Siouxsie meets Enigma.)'Cry' and 'Shadowtime' while I love both these songs to bits, are perhaps a litle TOO early nineties FM pop fare. I can't say I like 'Fear(Of The Unknown)' altho its highly danceable its just SOOO monotone (the melody is almost one note throughout the whole song!!) Softly is great at first but is too long at 6 minutes, esp. since its so repititious.Don't be fooled by other reviews that tell you this album is just fluffy pop. It is so way beyond that. Just be prepared to be shocked if you own other SATB albums. There are good songs behind the overly zealous production."
H3@+h | VT | 12/16/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)
"I'll admit, the earlier years of this band were great, but I do like this album quite alot as well. No punk to be found here, just lush melodies, and alot of catchy goth-pop. A number of tracks do seem to be ready for the mainstream, but there's a few which are dark and spooky too. Included is possibly their biggest hit "Kiss Them For Me", "Shadowtime", and "Fear (of the unknown)". But the beauty of this album lies in the tracks "Drifter", "Little Sister", "Silver Waterfalls", and the gorgeous "The Ghost In You". All of those are excellent. I'm not sure how anyone couldn't like this album. Any "Siouxsie" fan should, or at least any fan of "Peep Show"."
Mostly melodic and dreamy with eccentric flourishes
jon sieruga | Redlands, CA USA | 07/20/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)
"When Siouxsie Sioux gets going, her music can scare cats and little children away for miles. In the more-staid early '90's, she's a bit more melodic and dreamy, and "Superstition" reveals different shades of her musical personality. "Shadowtime" and "The Ghost In You" are hauntingly lovely, "Kiss Them For Me" really cooks, and "Silly Thing" is playfully snazzy. I didn't care for the single "Fear(of the Unknown)" or the harder-edged "Cry", but die-hards will probably like those more and the ballads less. It's a touch too slick, but still too eccentric to be labeled 'corporate pop'..and thank God for that!"

April 19, 2002
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Jackson, District Judge.
On the morning of Friday, June 14, 1985, TransWorld Airlines
("TWA") Flight No. 847, a Boeing 727, took off from Athens,
Greece, bound for Rome, Italy, with a full complement of 143
passengers and a crew of eight. On board were U.S. citizens
Robert Stethem, Kurt Carlson, Stuart Dahl, Jeffery Ingalls,
Clinton Suggs, Tony Watson, and Kenneth Bowen. All were U.S.
military personnel, enroute back to the United States from
various assignments abroad and coincidentally aboard the same
plane traveling in civilian dress.
Shortly after takeoff the plane was commandeered at gunpoint
by at least two hijackers, also armed with hand grenades, who
forced the plane to divert first to a landing for fuel in
Beirut, then on to Algiers, and back once more to Beirut,
finally landing dramatically at night in Beirut about 16 hours
after the flight had commenced. During the journey several of
the servicemen were brutally beaten by their captors. One was
executed by gunshot to the head and his body shoved from the
plane onto the tarmac at the Beirut airport. Eventually debarked
from the plane as prisoners of a local militia in Beirut, the
surviving servicemen were held captive by confederates of the
hijackers until June 30, 1985, when they were released to Syrian
military personnel and ultimately flown home.
The airborne portion of their ordeal was characterized for
some of them by excruciating pain from repeated beatings, and
for all of them by stark terror in expectation of either an
imminent violent death or prolonged captivity. While imprisoned
in Beirut they were confined under execrable conditions,
tormented with daily threats of torture and death, and vilified
as citizens of a despised nation, all the while uncertain of
their fate.
These two consolidated actions by the servicemen and their
spouses, and by the personal representatives of the murder
victim, seek to recover damages from the
parties they hold ultimately responsible for these terrorist
acts, the Islamic Republic of Iran and its Ministry of
Information and Security, pursuant to the Foreign Sovereign
Immunities Act ("FSIA"), 28 U.S.C. § 1602 et seq. Defaults
were taken against defendants in both cases on December 1, 2000,
and June 26, 2001, respectively, and upon the evidence adduced
at an ex parte hearing before the Court October 22-26, 2001,
which the Court finds to be satisfactory for the purpose, the
foregoing and following facts are found pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P.
52(a). Judgments will consequently be entered for plaintiffs in
accordance with the conclusions of law drawn therefrom.
Robert Dean Stethem (Deceased)
Robert Stethem, the murder victim, was identified by the
hijackers early in the flight as a U.S. serviceman. He was, in
fact, a 23-year-old U.S. Navy petty officer, trained as a diver
and underwater construction specialist. In June, 1985, Stethem
and fellow divers assigned to Underwater Construction Team No. 1
("UCT1"), stationed in Norfolk, Virginia, were aboard TWA 847
enroute back to the U.S. from Athens where they had spent
several weeks repairing an underwater structure at a U.S.
military installation nearby.
First thought to be a U.S. Marine by the hijackers (who never
totally abandoned their suspicions), Stethem was taken to the
front of the aircraft, his arms tightly bound, and beaten about
the head and shoulders repeatedly with a pistol or an armrest
wrenched from a passenger seat. He bled profusely. Although only
semisensible, losing blood, and in obvious pain for much of the
trip, he apparently never lost consciousness altogether. Upon
the second landing in Beirut, Stethem was the hostage the
hijackers selected for their first execution, partly to
emphasize their insistence that their various demands be taken
seriously, partly to manifest their hostility to Americans
generally. The forward passenger door was thrown open, and one
of the hijackers placed his gun to Stethem's head and fired a
shot through his skull. As he was about to die he was heard to
mutter an exclamation — "Oh, God" — indicating that he was aware
of what was happening. His body was pushed from the open doorway
to fall upon the pavement beneath the plane where it remained
for several hours.*fn1
Stethem's survivors include his father and mother, Richard and
Patricia Stethem; a sister, Sheryl (Stethem) Sierralta; and two
brothers, Kenneth and Patrick Stethem. Although none were his
dependents, the family is a remarkably close one. Filial and
fraternal affection between Robert, his parents, and siblings
was both mutual and intense.
The Stethems are a Navy family. Richard Stethem retired as a
Senior Chief Petty Officer after a 25-year career, most of it on
sea duty, and worked thereafter as a civilian employee of the
Navy Department until 1995. Patricia met Richard while she
herself was a sailor. Kenneth joined the Navy at age 19, became
a SEAL, and retired in April, 2000, after 20 years. Patrick
enlisted the day before TWA 847 was hijacked, followed his
deceased brother into underwater construction, and remained a
Navy diver for nearly 10 years.
The surviving Stethems last saw Robert at a family reunion in
May, 1985, but were together again in June, 1985, to follow the
saga of TWA 847 on CNN at the family home in Waldorf, Maryland,
all the while besieged by an insatiable media horde at their
doorstep. They first learned that Robert was the murdered U.S.
serviceman thrown from the plane when Kenneth identified the
distinctive shirt on the body on the tarmac shown on television
as a shirt he had given his younger brother.
All of the Stethem family have been diagnosed as suffering
from post-traumatic stress syndrome. According to the
psychologist who made the diagnosis, their grief at Robert's
death remains unresolved to the present and will probably never
Plaintiffs Richard Stethem and Patricia Stethem, as father and
mother of Robert Stethem, are the duly appointed co-personal
representatives of Robert's estate. Both are U.S. citizens, as
are his brothers and sister. They bring this action in the
nature of a wrongful death and survival action for such damages
as may be recoverable from defendants under the FSIA by reason
of Robert's false imprisonment as a hostage aboard TWA 847, his
torture by beating prior to his death, and his extrajudicial
killing that can only be characterized as an intentional,
deliberate and premeditated act of murder. These damages
include, as established by numerous prior decisions under the
FSIA, the net economic loss to Robert's estate; compensation for
his ante mortem pain and suffering; solatium for his immediate
surviving kin; and punitive damages to chasten the perpetrators
of these acts of terrorism and deter their repetition by others.
Kurt and Cheryl Carlson
Kurt and Cheryl Carlson are U.S. citizens, married since 1969,
who reside in Illinois, where Kurt Carlson is a building
contractor. In 1985, Carlson was a major in the U.S. Army
Reserve, and he volunteered for an active duty assignment in
Cairo, Egypt, to make a preliminary survey of facilities in
preparation for forthcoming joint U.S.-Egyptian military
exercises. On June 14, 1985, Carlson was enroute home from Egypt
aboard TWA 847 when it landed in Athens where Robert Stethem and
his companions boarded.*fn3 Carlson, traveling alone, had
acquired a standby seat in the first class cabin.
Ten minutes into the flight the hijackers stormed the forward
section of the plane, assaulted a flight attendant, and,
brandishing both a pistol and hand grenades, shouted in English,
"Americans come to die!"
Carlson surreptitiously slipped his military identification
out of his pocket into the seat cushion, but was eventually
discovered to be in the U.S. armed forces by the hijackers
following an enforced passport collection in which the absence
of a passport in his name was noted.*fn4 At first, however,
he was forced into a seat in the after cabin with all other
passengers, and, like them, compelled to assume an
excruciatingly uncomfortable position Carlson describes to this
day as the "847 position" — hands behind head; head down, with
elbows on knees — and to remain so, in total silence, whenever
the plane was airborne.
Not until TWA 847 had landed in Algiers, some six hours into
the flight, was
Carlson singled out for special treatment. He and Stethem were
marched at gunpoint to the forward cabin. His hands were bound
behind him; he was blindfolded, and prodded to the cabin floor.
He was then (as was Stethem) beaten at intervals about the head,
shoulders, back and arms with a club. The hijackers
intermittently shouted "one American must die," and they
identified Carlson as the first who would do so if their demand
that the plane be refueled was not complied with within
successive 10- or 15-minute deadlines. Carlson fully expected to
be killed. He was spared by the eventual arrival of a fuel
truck, and TWA 847, once refueled, took off again for Beirut.
Following Stethem's death on the ground in Beirut, Carlson and
all but one of the Navy divers were turned over to a contingent
of local militia (known as Amal) who were confederated with the
hijackers. They were held captive — and periodically tormented —
for approximately two weeks in a filth-ridden basement dungeon
in a combat zone somewhere in West Beirut.
Like most of the rest of the U.S. population, Cheryl Carlson
followed the saga of TWA 847 on television, apprehensive that
she would never see her husband again. When he did return she
became aware of how profoundly the experience had affected him,
and she has suffered with him through the manifestations of the
posttraumatic stress syndrome with which he remains afflicted to
the present — irrational fear, sleeplessness, nightmares,
extreme irritability — and which has had a markedly deleterious
effect on their marriage relationship.

Since it's Saturday when not many read this blog (hell, not many people read this blog anyway) I thought I would deviate even further from food than I usually do and get into music. Music has changed/saved my life so many times, whether I was playing it or listening to it. From practicing Happy Birthday on my saxophone in the barn to play for my mom, to lugging the same saxophone up to 135th and Convent Ave in NYC to the High School of Music & Art, to dropping out of said high school at 13 to make my living playing punk rock at CBGB's and Max's Kansas City, to singing in SF in the late 1980's, to playing alternative country in Chapel Hill, NC in the early 1990's, to the present when most of my playing of music involves playing the internet radio, mostly WXYC
I've added a new TypeList, Inspirations, which lists some recent favorites. Most of what the GM and I have been enjoying of late has been from Scotland, to the point that we joked we should move to Glasgow just for the music. However, the much-loved Delgados have broken up and the GM isn't as wild about Idlewild so....
I was impressed lately by Marcus Samuelsson of Aquavit and Riingo talking about drawing inspiration from rock music. You rarely hear about the connection between cooking and music except perhaps from Charlie Trotter. And mostly when you do it's in the context of jazz or improvisation. Which is fine, the similarities are there and I listen to plenty of jazz but it's really pop and noise which transports me. When I was a kid it was Beethoven, now it's more likely to be Carla Bozulich. The similarities between playing music and cooking are for me that you get to create something and get instant feedback.
Anyway, I'm thinking about trying to "interpret" some of my favorite music on the plate, like those experiments where chefs have done similar things with paintings or sculpture. How pretentious can I get. The difference though is I don't know that I'll announce it as such. It'll just be a good dish. How to go about it is another question. I could be literal and use a springboard like Geraldine Fibbers' "Marmalade", or clever like going from Idlewild's "Roseability" with its Gertrude Stein reference in the chorus to my choice of recipe from the Alice B Toklas cookbook, or completely free form and obscure like listening to "Grasshopper King" from my friend's band Surface of Eceon and trying to put the feeling on the plate.
I usually try not to listen to much music at work because my taste is all over the map and some of it is really obnoxious. I'd like to keep my crew. But it's a necessity for my sanity and creativity.

The 'Pepper Tray' is a handy extension to condiment shakers that provides a handy concrete dish that catches the fallout from the grinder. The dish helps to keep surfaces where the pepper shaker resides cleaner by catching and containing the fallout.
Pepper shakers often leave a large amount of fallout behind, because of how the blade that crushes the peppercorn is located near the base of the device. The 'Pepper Tray' by Human Crafted provides a place for the fallout to collect and remain, for easy cleaning. The dish can simply be emptied from time to time to dispose of the pepper grinds.
Despite being an additional accessory, the 'Pepper Tray' is stylishly minimal dock for the condiment dispenser.
