Rudd's essay is much more than spin
By Jason Wilson - posted Friday, 20 February 2009 Sign Up for free e-mail updates!
Let's do something novel, and assume that Kevin Rudd's essay in the latest Monthly is a sincere effort to put an organised version of his own recent thoughts on the public record. Let's assume it's an essay, rather than an effort to get under Malcolm Turnbull's skin.
If we take the essay seriously, something remarkable happens. We see that the criticisms of recent economic orthodoxy are just a prelude to a meditation on the idea of social democracy. We discern legitimate fears about the consequences of economic dislocation for the social and political landscape of Australia. And we can sense Rudd publicly steeling himself to carry out the social democrat's risky work of moderation. From this point of view, Rudd's essay begins to look like a deeply democratic gesture - he has laid his cards on the table, and is asking us to engage him in conversation in a moment of collective danger.
Rudd's criticisms of "neo-liberalism" seem to have stung those in the national press who have not yet accepted the Howard era is over. But this is not the essay's chief purpose. Early on it's made clear that "the intellectual challenge for social democrats is not just to repudiate the neo-liberal extremism that has landed us in this mess, but to advance the case that the social-democratic state offers the best guarantee of preserving the productive capacity of properly regulated competitive markets." The essay does both.
First comes the critique. In taking on recent orthodoxies, Rudd hardly sounds like a revolutionary. The way in which Rudd describes them would be considered unremarkable outside all but the most hermitic, faith-based, monetarist communities. Rudd correctly points to the way in which the administration of governments and economies has for three decades been driven by a "core theoretical belief in the superiority of unregulated markets", resting on the efficient-markets hypothesis. The corollary was that government intervention could only coercively distort market dynamics.
Hayek - dredged from an obscurity to which he may soon return - provided some dubious philosophical respectability for all of this. Rudd is correct in saying that Hayek considered concepts of social solidarity, social justice, even society itself as "atavistic" holdovers, and argued that the market should be the lone distributor of social and economic goods, and even the lone arbiter of civilisation.
The general lines of the history that frames his criticism are familiar. For three decades in many Western countries, taxation has been insufficient to maintain governments' capacity to invest in social goods. This has been in order "to provide maximal space in the economy for private markets". If the state has actually enlarged its role in some respects during this time - say through the general increase in defence spending, or programs like the Howard government's expansion of "middle-class welfare" - the ideas that Rudd describes have nevertheless underwritten a general retreat from market regulation and state provision of social services.
The analysis of the consequences of the deregulation of finance are, again, hardly idiosyncratic. For at least ten years, markets have been operating without adequate oversight, but taxpayers are now liable for their follies. The Chinese wall between commercial and investment banks was removed. The conglomerates that were allowed to form exposed themselves to massive debt, and though they were "too systemically important to [be allowed to] fail", "self-regulation" through credit ratings and internal risk assessment was compromised and inadequate.
New institutions emerged with large debts and dodgy books. Crises round the turn of the decade were papered over with lax monetary policy. (Here even Greenspan has admitted his mistakes.) The resulting cheap money was sold hard to mortgage borrowers with poor credit histories. New financial instruments severed the link between "the assessor of credit-worthiness and the ultimate holder of the loan". An asset bubble formed, and when it popped, "links to the mainstream commercial-banking system, with its implicit government guarantees, meant that the state (not the market) [was] left carrying the can".
The links between recent crises and Rudd's "neo-liberal" ideology are clearly drawn. As Rudd puts it, "neo-liberals were so convinced of the ideological rightness of their cause, and so blinded by their unquestioning belief that markets were inherently self-correcting, that they refused even to recognise the severity of the problems that emerged". The dangers emerging from the confluence of poorly regulated banking, easy lending, bad credit risks and too-clever financial instruments were missed due to ideology and - yes - greed. There is sincere anger here, I think, about a gigantic privatisation of profit and socialisation of debt by the world's largest financial institutions.
Rudd has been accused of making "neo-liberalism" into a straw man. But he's covering significant ground in a short essay, and needs to leave space for more positive claims. Besides, this essay hasn't been written so satisfy the pedantry of economic historians or conservative columnists. Rudd's description of recent history will answer perfectly to the way that many Australians feel that markets and economies have fatefully slipped the leash of our democratic institutions.
Even before this crisis emerged, many Australians knew their lives and economic positions were no better - or were even worse - after more than a decade of prosperity. (See Mark Davis's Land of Plenty or David McKnight's Beyond Left and Right.) Australia's receding boom was experienced as insecurity by many. Work colonised private life, rising debts kept pace with on-paper equity, and the forces governing all our lives seemed increasingly remote.
Australians may have gone along with the direction of the last decade because their accountants told them their houses were worth more. But Rudd's wager in this essay is that like him, enough Australians are instinctive social democrats to now want a more interventionist state. Especially now, they want governments to moderate market excesses, and to cushion the impacts of the downturn. Australian history suggests an ingrained preference for a relatively equal distribution of wealth, a strong role for the state in framing the operations of the market, and a high degree of common ownership of public goods. My money is with the Prime Minister's, rather with that of his critics.

It's a borrowers' market with too many lenders chasing too few strong loans, according to a survey of senior loan officers conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank Board in April.
The Fed survey revealed that many banks were easing standards on commercial and industrial loans and many of those respondents cited increased competition as the reason for doing so.
While this was a national survey, the findings hold true here in Illinois, according to Linda Koch, president and chief executive officer of the Illinois Bankers Association.
One issue that's a big contributor to the lack of loan demand but that doesn't get a lot of recognition, according to Koch, is the need for real estate appraisals. She says that today every loan - whether it's a new loan or a loan renewal - requires a new appraisal. Prior to the financial crisis of 2008 and the subsequent Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, it was possible for banks to rely on appraisals that were as much as five years old. That, she says, is no longer the case.
There are still high-quality, financially credible commercial borrowers out there, according to Koch, but there are fewer of them; and those who fit that category are approaching expansions cautiously.
Another factor that's spurring lender competition, according to Koch, is that banks are flush with cash. Consumer savings rates, she says, have increased substantially since 2006, and that provides a lot of money for banks to lend. Consumers and business owners are still in an accumulate cash mode, egged on by the uncertainty in the economy.
Brad Rench, regional president of First Mid-Illinois Bank & Trust, says the shrinking loan margin environment is making life difficult for banks that subsist solely off loans and deposits. He says First Mid-Illinois Bank has a broad range of products it can offer to business customers: trust services, wealth management, farm management, brokerage and insurance. This full complement of business services, he says, not only helps make the bank a better partner to the business owner but also helps the bank navigate through this low-margin, interest rate environment.
Rench has been in the banking business for more than 30 years. Over those three decades, he says, he has not seen interest margins below 3 percent - but they are coming close now.


Wetherspoon said some sites would be without John Smith's and Strongbow cider for a couple of days.
Some Wetherspoon pubs are temporarily without draught John Smith's and Strongbow cider and a science centre has cancelled its summer programme due to the carbon dioxide shortage.
It comes as food and drink companies put plans in place to minimise disruption for consumers.
A Wetherspoon spokesman said some pubs would be without John Smith's and Strongbow cider but said that supplier Heineken had advised both would be available again in a couple of days.
He said: "Wetherspoon has the advantage that it sources its wide range of drinks from a number of suppliers, so has not been too badly affected.
Punch Taverns, which has around 1,300 pubs, said it has had shortfalls of John Smith's and Amstel for almost a week, with Birra Moretti also now in short supply.
The Glasgow Science Centre (GSC) visitor attraction said it had been unable to get the dry ice it needed for its new show due to the European shortage of CO2.
Resident scientist Sam Langford said: "Here at GSC we use carbon dioxide in its solid form in our science shows to demonstrate a number of scientific phenomena, including sublimation, ocean acidification and the three states of matter.
Whilst this is a small problem for the Glasgow Science Centre, dry ice and other forms of CO2 being in short supply is a major problem for a number of industries for whom it is an essential product.
"However, recently we've had some trouble obtaining dry ice from our suppliers due to a European shortage of CO2.
"Our plans for our brand new summer show have been put on hold.
Food wholesaler Booker said it was limiting sales of some lines to 10 cases per customer per day to prevent "sub-wholesaling".
The Tesco-owned retailer, which is used by bars, restaurants and traders, said the move was to preserve availability and satisfied the "vast majority of Booker customers".
Tesco said the CO2 shortage had not resulted in any availability issues on any product lines.
However, Booker's move to ration sales followed Scotland's largest pig processing plant suspending its slaughtering process, Coca-Cola temporarily pausing some production lines and Morrisons and Ocado telling customers that the shortage had led to disruption to some frozen product lines.
Quality Pork Limited in Brechin, Angus, carried out its last slaughter on Tuesday due to a lack of the gas used to stun animals before they are killed.
Issues remain with the supply of CO2 in Europe. Retailers & suppliers are working to ensure availability is maintained by sourcing alternatives. The majority of food products are unaffected. Retailers don't anticipate shortages but the mix of products available may be affected.
There are plans to send around 1,000 pigs to another plant near Manchester this week, but operators say the CO2 shortage could have serious implications if the shortage continues.
British Meat Processors Association (BMPA) chief executive Nick Allen said the situation was getting "pretty tight", exacerbated by the hot temperatures.
Mr Allen said: "The frustration is the lack of information. We understand that several (CO2) producers are reopening plants and restarting production, but getting information is very difficult, which makes it very difficult to plan.
Poultry slaughterhouses have already called for priority supplies of dwindling CO2 stocks, saying the current shortage could have a "potentially huge effect" on British food production.
A spokeswoman for the British Retail Consortium (BRC) said CO2 supply issues remained and retailers and suppliers were working hard to ensure food availability was maintained.
The BRC said: "We are aware of specific pressures in some areas such as carbonated soft drinks, beer, British chicken and British pork but the majority of food products are unaffected and retailers do not anticipate food shortages.
The shortages are understood to have been caused by a longer than usual break in production of ammonia, one of the key sources of food grade CO2 in Europe – which is used to carbonate drinks and preserve some packed fresh foods.
Trade journal Gas World said the shortage had been described as the "worst supply situation to hit the European carbon dioxide (CO2) business in decades".

I attended the Kalachakra Process facilitated by two of Sri Kaleshwar's students, Jonathan D. Rosen and Alx Uttermann, who came to Singapore over the weekend of 17-18th March 2007.
"Kalachakra" in Sanskrit literally means "wheel of time".
It is said that once we have gone through the process, then "time cannot bite us that easily"; and that when we know the beauty of the Kalachakra, we will be on our way to fix the blocks, our illusions, and our heartbreaks... among other benefits.
The central activity of the process was to draw the Kalachakra Yantra and etch it onto a copper sheet. Copper is chosen because it could absorb vibrations very well when it is charged during the fire homa. The Yantra is beautiful and I felt a therapeutic escape etching it on the copper sheet - reminescence of the good old days in art class in school.
The Process took about 12 hours. I was a little tired when we finished as it was very humid being in a room in the tropics without air-conditioning, with 20 people. The fire homa smoke was also choking and uncomfortable, though the facilitator said that it was purifying to the soul.
The day after, I felt a strange kind of fatigue, as it was neither a physical nor mental one. It was as if something deeper inside is tired, but don't know where. We were warned about this fatigue the day before, and that this is merely the purification of the soul. Along the fatigue, I also experienced the bliss, just like when I did after the 7-Day Transformation Journey. I was so blissful, I didn't even want to talk, preferring to enjoy the silence.
My friends who attended the Process had the same feeling about the bliss. Nothing seems to matter much anymore. In my drive back home the following evening, there was a thunderstorm with poor visibility and a traffic jam on the highway, but I was unperturbed. Instead, I was enjoying the sounds of the numerous raindrops hitting the car. The sounds of the peter-paters come to me in such high-clarity. It's like I have upgraded my cheap AM radio to an expensive hi-fi set. Everything just looked and felt so beautiful, well synchronised like part of a universal orchestra! A feeling and thought that fascinates even myself and can be understood better by experiencing it.
I am now into the 14th day of chanting the mantras. We have to chant 108 times for 101 days. On the first day of chanting, I slipped into a deep trance... time virtually stood still till I came back to the 'foreground' I was already three or four beads away from the 108 counts of chanting (we count with a Mala (beads)).
So far, friends who sees me comment that I look very radiant. I feel more relaxed and events seems to flow smoothly. We shall see how the Kalachakra manifests itself further after the 101 days of chanting. 101 days sound like a long time right now, but I intend to stay the course! Watch this space!
During the first few days, I felt really tired chanting the mantras. They are all in Sanskrit and are not intelligible to me without my referring to the explanatory notes.
I heard it would still benefit me without understanding the meaning of the mantras, but it will be better if I do. So now I try to consciously think about what the mantras mean when I chant.
I am now on Day 21 of my chanting.
BTW, I learn that it is not only Buddhists and Hindus that chant, Catholics and Muslims also do.


Good news for businesses and customers as proposed Brexit legislation provides for evolution, not revolution, of the current construction products performance regime.
A mandatory system of accountability for construction products placed on the single European market by suppliers (manufacturers, importers and distributors).
The declaration of product performance by suppliers, by reference to harmonised standards (e.g. regarding fire safety and energy economy, and the use of the European conformity 'CE' marking (CE marking) to confirm the product complies with the essential requirements of the relevant European health, safety and environmental protection legislation). Some products require a conformity assessment by a third party, but for others, manufacturers can self-declare the product's performance.
Trading Standards is the UK's enforcement body, with wide powers to seize products and records, inspect and test products, and the ability to prosecute those supplying products without the required information or compliant CE marking.
The draft Construction Products (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (the 2019 Regulations) were laid before Parliament on 18 December 2018, aimed at ensuring a functioning regime for testing and declaring the performance of construction products when the UK leaves the EU, in the event of a no deal Brexit (no deal).
The 2019 Regulations (if they are passed into law) will come into effect on exit day, scheduled for 29 March 2019.
The 2019 Regulations largely maintain existing requirements. Construction products already on the market meeting the relevant harmonised European standard(s) and bearing the CE marking can continue to be sold in the UK, without the need for retesting or additional marking post-Brexit.
Current EU harmonised standards will become UK "designated standards" and will remain identical immediately post-Brexit, but the Secretary of State will have the power to determine new UK standards.
Power for the Secretary of State to update the UK construction products regime to respond to technical developments and emerging issues, a role undertaken by the European Commission for the EU.
The role of "notified bodies" – who are the only third parties authorised to undertake conformity assessments under the 2011 Regulation - will be undertaken by "approved bodies" who must be based in the UK. Existing notified bodies based in the UK will automatically be awarded "approved body" status.
Where a UK body has undertaken the third party conformity assessment process, as required by the UK "designated standard", the manufacturer must add a new UK mark (the new UK mark will be established under separate legislation).
Where a manufacturer can self-declare that a product meets harmonised standards (i.e. without third party conformity assessment) it will be able to use the UK product marking, the CE marking, or both. This will be the case for a limited time only, but the applicable time period has not yet been determined.
For products not fully covered by a designated standard, there will be an optional route available to enable products to be UK marked.
Trading Standards will remain responsible for enforcing the construction products regime.
The government published guidance - Construction Products Regulation if there is no Brexit deal (the Guidance) on 24 January 2019. It confirms that, in the absence of access to EU databases and shared information, UK replacements (including a new product safety market surveillance database) are being developed. Further details are awaited.
Retain their performance as declared.
Transferring the product's technical file and certification to an EU notified body, with the agreement of the UK notified body.
While the simultaneous use of UK product and CE markings could give rise to confusion, by requiring conformity with existing EU standards, the 2019 Regulations take a light touch approach to amending the current performance regime, in the event of no deal. This should allow businesses to adapt to a new but not radically different system post-Brexit.
Products currently bearing the CE marking may in due course be subject to retesting and/or additional marking in order to access the UK market.
In addition, there is scope for UK and EU standards to diverge in the future, with new technological developments, risks and non-compliant products being dealt with in different ways and at different times.
Deal or no deal, those who import and/or export construction products are highly likely to face additional red tape and upheaval due to Brexit.
Consequently, manufacturers and suppliers of construction products, employers, contractors and designers are all advised to plan ahead, and keep a watchful eye on future developments.


Two somethings pretty and small.
I got this beautiful 8-ounce tumbler in the mail. It made my day. This traditional Indonesian pattern Starbucks tumbler is current merchandise in the Starbucks Indonesia market. I love that it is an 8-ounce size too! I love the smaller tumblers. And this brown pattern design is so pretty. And of course, I love seeing the new logo on it too. So in case others were curious about international merchandise, I'm showing it off here too.
The second something "pretty and small" is a pair of earrings. The earrings were a gift from Licia Beads. They are beads that are meant to look like coffee beans. I like these. It would be great to have a necklace that was a simple strand of pretty brown coffee beans beads. Licia produces handmade jewelry for her Etsy website, and the coffee bean earrings also come in a reddish-toned color too.
This blog post is just a big thank you to Romie and Licia for the gifts! Thank you so much!
Starbucks Facebook Around the World.
The earings are very cool! what a great idea! and I love the smaller tumblers too. They always make me think they're made for kids…..altho the patterns are not. I like them tho.
Those earrings are cute! a subtle way to show your passion 🙂 makes me want tea leaves! and i do love the pattern on the tumbler.
@denise r oh i hope everything turns out ok with you having electricity and everyone getting it back soon and no flooding!
The Indonesian tumbler design is very unique. And I guess the reason the siren looks huge is because the tumbler is small…love it!
Kaori, I should have linked to the two Via earring articles! Those are from 2009 I think. Thank you for reminding me. I am going to go edit this blog post!
I love the design and size of the tumbler. However, as someone who spends hours every week on public transportation, I wish they would make a tumbler with a design that would have handles on it.
The design of the tumbler is a suitable design for Starbucks.
I think it is very beautiful rather than it is pretty.
Because Melody you got earrings before from Licia I went to her website and purchased earrings from her and saw those coffee bean earrings. She is a very talented artisan. I too love the tumbler. Wish there was this kind of merchandise here. Thanks for sharing.
Small Tumblers are really cool!
Love to see the new logo in its full beauty on this new merch…and very lucky for Indonesia that they get their own Tumblers.
Hi Melody! Great earrings – they'd make a nice gift (I've bookmarked the etsy page). I too like the smaller tumblers. The only ones I have at home now are some from around Halloween 2004 – black with white and orange dots (the dots have faces in them). Love that they're only 8 ounces.
Perhaps you should have a tumbler post to go (pair) with your mug post.
Love the earrings, they're super cute!
My first Christmas with Starbucks I was given a Christmas gift from one of the other managers in the district which was an ornament for my tree that she'd made with coffee beans. It's very pretty and it smells delicious!
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the earrings!
You know, I like the smaller tumblers, too, except that they are invariably made of plastic. The thing I like about the metal ones is how well they hold heat. The small plastic ones are always cute, but they don't keep my drink hot.
I've seen coffee bean jewelry somewhere before… I'm going to have to think about it, because I seem to recall a necklace. I'll let you know if I can remember where I came across it.
@kitenarie – I agree – I wish they made the stainless double walled tumblers in 8 ounces (or 12 for that matter). I realize that a lot of the 8 ounce tumblers are purchased for children, but parents are buying their children $16-$25 SIGG bottles, they'd pay for a stainless tumbler too – especially with all of the concerns about plastic (not just BPA).
There have been some stainless 12oz tumblers lately. I have one I bought recently.
@cd & @Michelle @kitenarie – Totally agree – Would love an 8 ounce stainless steel tumbler. Your coffee would stay hot for so long.
PS: To anyone who is interested, comment luv widget is finally working on this blog.
I really like both the tumbler and the earrings! I am also a big proponent of the 8 oz stainless tumbler. You can make this happen!
Glad I was so good at keeping up on here. lol. They were actually a gift from me-I should have had her put a note with them!


The TE 400 B and TE 600 B are entry level, manually operated horizontal stretch wrapping machines (also known as tunnel wrappers) for general industrial applications. The TE 400 B and TE 600 B are suitable for products with a maximum cross sectional dimension of 400mm and 600mm respectively. Core Size: 38mm.
The operator places the product in the centre of the in-feed. The operator then holds the film against the product, then presses and holds down the foot pedal. Once the film is held to the product (approx. 2 revolutions) the operator moves the product through the ring until wrapping is complete. The film is then cut by hand.


Lightweight vacuum cleaners are more lightweight because they usually have less features and attachments. This doesn\'t necessarily mean they are of a lower quality. Most lightweight vacuums have as much cleaning power as heavier models. It comes down to the specific features you prefer and best cover your needs. There are many great ones on the market but the best vacuum cleaner has to consistently rank high in main points such as cleaning power, weight and functionality. Hoover Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum is a powerful, light vacuum, that not only cleans multiple types of surfaces but also offers ease of use and maneuverability.


After escaping the rain on Saturday's opening of the Cary downtown park, I ventured to the Downtown Chowdown on Sunday which featured twenty-nine food trucks and vendors. It was the perfect breezy day to sit out in front of the amphitheater, listen to music, and munch on some great food.
I started out with Gussy's Authentic Greek Street Food. I actually waited in line for almost an hour for the popular beef and lamb gyro (with Greek fries inside), but it was well worth the wait. I enjoyed the crunchiness of the fries along with the smooth texture of the tzatziki sauce. The fries can be replaced with lettuce, but what's the fun in that?
After my main course, I set out on a journey to find dessert. I finally stumbled upon Annelore's German Bakery and my eyes were instantly glued to the sweet treats displayed on the table.
After restraining myself from buying everything on the table, I settled on a lemon square and a linzer flower. Both desserts were topped with powdered sugar, which meant that my clothes and face would probably be covered with the stuff afterwards.
I decided to dig into the linzer flower first. The tart, berry filling complemented the sweet, soft-textured cookie. The lemon square was also deliciously sweet and tart. What I love most about eating lemon squares is the buttery bottom crust. This one definitely passed my taste test.
Annelore's German Bakery is currently building a brick and mortar store in Downtown Cary and is set to open in September. I can't wait to visit!

20 elite universities received 28% of college donations last year — they educate 1.6% of undergraduates
The results of an annual survey suggest that the concept of the have and have-nots extends to higher education

As with many sectors of our society these days, when it comes to colleges there are haves and have-nots.
The 20 colleges that received the most money in donations during the last fiscal year accounted for about 28% of the total $46.73 billion donated to universities during that period. They serve just 1.6% of the nation's 19.9 million undergraduate students. That's based on an analysis of the annual Voluntary Support for Education survey, published by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education, a membership association for professionals working in development, alumni relations and related fields for educational institutions.
The 20 schools who brought in the most donation money last year and their undergraduate enrollments, according to U.S. News & World Report

The survey is the latest evidence that a small group of colleges capture much of our country's attention — and resources — even while community and public regional colleges do the yeoman's work of educating the nation's nearly 20 million college students. It also adds fuel to critics who say that the nation's richest schools aren't using enough of their resources to become the engines of economic mobility we typically imagine higher education institutions to be.
A self-perpetuating system built on wealth
'If let's say three decades from now [a major donation] leads to a cure for malaria or cancer treatment with a three day course of pills, I think it would be very difficult to argue that that money maybe should have gone to a more immediate cause.'
— Jonathan Meer, economist at Texas A&M University
"Large charitable donations to the richest schools is essentially the endpoint of a cycle that rewards wealth every step along the way," said Ben Miller, the senior director of postsecondary education at the Center for American Progress, a left-leaning think tank. Typically, Miller said, these schools start out relatively wealthy and enroll a large share of relatively wealthy students who then go on to get lucrative jobs that are hard to get without those elite degrees.
These wealthy graduates then turn around and give that money back to their relatively wealthy alma maters. "It raises questions for me about why donors are choosing to do it," Miller said.
Miller acknowledged that super-rich donors to universities do seem to be doing more to use their money to expand opportunity for low-income or other students under-represented in higher education. Michael Bloomberg focused his $1.8 billion donation to Johns Hopkins University last year on financial aid.
Still, expanding access to the nation's elite universities, where most mega-donations in higher education end up, wouldn't do much to expand access to college overall because these schools educate such a small share of the nation's students, Miller said.
"If these donations were truly motivated by a broader goal of improving college completion or something like that, they would definitely be going to large regional four-year schools and community colleges," he said.
'What happens to all the causes that don't please their whims? What happens to all the universities that don't happen to fill them with nostalgia?'
— Anand Giridharadas, the author of "Winners Take All"
It's not just about education — donations fund campus hospitals and museums
Of course donations to name-brand universities are motivated by a variety of factors, other than just increasing college access and completion. Ann Kaplan, the senior director of the Voluntary Support of Education Program, said that the schools that take in the bulk of donations to colleges are multi-faceted nonprofits with hospitals, art museums, research facilities and other institutions that could capture donors' interest.
"You get donors to hospitals, research facilities, arts organizations that go beyond the interest of donors that are focused more keenly on the education aspect of the institution," Kaplan said.
That's very different from the perhaps more teaching-focused community or regional colleges. These schools don't have as long of a history of fundraising as private nonprofit colleges, but Kaplan said she expects that as they ramp up their development efforts, community colleges will raise more money because they have good cases for support.
Donations may lead to 'societal benefits in the distant future'
Right now, donors giving to wealthy, multi-faceted higher education institutions may be betting on the idea that gifts to these schools can arguably have a major impact outside of simply expanding access to college, said Jonathan Meer, an economist at Texas A&M University who studies charitable giving and the economics of education.
"There's the question of which universities are doing the basic research that may be leading to very large societal benefits in the distant future," Meer said. "If let's say three decades from now [a major donation] leads to a cure for malaria or cancer treatment with a three day course of pills, I think it would be very difficult to argue that that money maybe should have gone to a more immediate cause."
For some donors the idea that expanding access to elite, relatively small institutions can arguably have a ripple effect, may be appealing, Meer said. Because these schools produce graduates that have a disproportionate amount of influence, getting more low-income or other under-represented students into them has the potential to change the lives of more than just the students who benefit directly from the education.
Still, Meer notes, as a researcher on the economics of altruism he's well-aware that donors have prestige motivations for giving. "They get consumption value themselves from being celebrated, from seeing their name on things," he said. "Maybe seeing your name on your alma mater means more to you than seeing your name on something else."
And indeed, the colleges with the most billionaire graduates , according to Wealth-X, which tracks ultra high net worth individuals, are all among the 20 schools that pulled in the most in donations last year.
The wealthy's inordinate power is sign of a broken system, says one critic
That rich people have so much discretion to affect which causes and institutions have the most resources and power is a sign of a broken system, said Anand Giridharadas, the author of "Winners Take All ", a book that investigates how the wealthy use philanthropy to maintain their power.
That system, argues Giridharadas, allows the rich to accumulate wealth at the expense of institutions and people that might have more money if the wealthy paid more in taxes.That system then puts those wealthy people in a position "to privately fund all manner of causes, including education, according to their gilded whims," Giridharadas said.
"What happens to all the causes that don't please their whims? What happens to all the universities that don't happen to fill them with nostalgia?" he said. "Unfortunately rich guys just deciding to give something where they want is seldom aligned to what would deliver the most impact."
One way that colleges could start doing more to align these donations with impact is by barring donors from dictating how their money is spent, Giridharadas said. That way the schools could choose to put the money towards whatever causes — whether it's financial aid, research or something else — that they believe would best further their mission, he said.
"It's very uninspiring when you're 19-years-old to be walking in a beautiful quad and see the name of hedge fund managers," he said.

I've reviewed movies about Nazi Zombies before – the ill conceived "Shock Waves", and "War of the Dead" come to mind, so it's not like it's a new concept (even Zombie Lake used the idea.) It's an idea that you would think would have wild success. Just mention the ideas of Nazis and zombies in the same sentence and you pique the interest of a lot of horror fans. So, if this is such a great combination of two gruesome archetypes, why did it take until 2009's Død snø (aka Dead Snow) to make a film utilizing Nazi Zombies to this degree of goodness?


Most dental implant surgery procedures are performed in the dentist's office and occasionally in a hospital setting. Local anesthesia is usually adequate for these out-patient procedures but various other forms of patient sedation (such as nitrous oxide, and oral/or intravenous sedation) may also be used. Adjunctive surgical procedures, such as bone augmentation, may be performed as separate procedures or at the same time as implant placement. Each surgical procedure is different depending on the clinical situation as well as the preferences of the patient and dental practitioner/ surgeon.
The most widely practiced method of placing dental implants is a "staged surgery" procedure. The first stage consists of surgically burying the implant (which replaces the tooth root) flush with the bone but underneath the gum. This protects the implant from force while it is healing. At the end of this healing period, the implant needs to be surgically exposed by removing some of the overlying gum.
Despite decades of clinical and scientific research, dental implants do not have a success rate. However, the success rates have improved dramatically since the introduction of dental implant surgery and the dental profession can proudly report success rates well above 90% for most implant patients. Similarly, long-term success rates are in the high 90% range and are likewise improving. When a dental implant has not successfully integrated, it may need to be removed, as it cannot easily be "converted" to osseointegrate. Your dentist will give you best advice about this. A replacement implant can be placed but it may require some months of healing time and possibly bone augmentation (repair by means of grafting). Likewise, if a previously placed implant has lost significant amounts of supporting bone, there are currently no treatments that can predictably restore the lost bone after it has been in function in the mouth.

Die denkmalgeschützte kursächsische Ganzmeilensäule Bad Gottleuba-Berggießhübel, Ortsteil Hellendorf gehört zu den Postmeilensäulen, die im Auftrag des Kurfürsten Friedrich August I. von Sachsen durch den Land- und Grenzkommissar Adam Friedrich Zürner in der 1. Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts im Kurfürstentum Sachsen errichtet worden sind. Sie befindet sich an der Peterswalder Straße kurz vor dem Grenzübergang an der Neuen Dresden-Teplitzer Poststraße in der osterzgebirgischen Doppelstadt Bad Gottleuba-Berggießhübel im Landkreis Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge.

Geschichte
Die mit der Jahreszahl 1820 versehene Säule mit dem sächsischen Wappen ist nachweislich wesentlich älter. In 1782 und 1784 aufgenommenen Meilenblättern ist sie bereits verzeichnet. Im Begleittext von 1782 ist sie als "umgeworfene Grenz-Säule", im Text von 1784 als "an der Post-Straße stehende Grenz-Säule" verzeichnet. Vermutlich wurde die aus Teilen einer kursächsischen Ganzmeilensäule errichtete Säule 1820 renoviert und mit dem sächsischen Wappen versehen.

To Kill a Man with a Joystick
Written by: Teymour Aslam
With hindsight, it appears that the horrific events of September 11th, 2001, may have triggered a paradigm shift between established geopolitical alliances, altering conventional perceptions of, and existing relations between nation states, the manner in which international relations are conducted, and perhaps most relevantly, the utilisation of unconventional military tactics in situations which are becoming increasingly difficult to classify as conventional or traditional armed conflicts under IHL.

How High are High Officials: Analyzing Obama's Speech on Syria
The early hours of August 21, 2013 saw a drastic turn in the Syrian conflict as a chemical weapons attack on civilians living in the agricultural belt around Damascus took place. Three days after the attack, medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres confirmed that three hospitals it supports in Damascus had treated about 3,600 patients with "neurotoxic symptoms" on the day of the attack; 355 of these had died.[1] Ever since there've been mutual accusations of the use of chemical weapons by the countering parties, namely Assad's regime and the rebels,[2] which also caused a split of views and stances on the international plane. Yet, despite the absence of the forthcoming United Nations [hereinafter UN] report on the attack,[3] the parties to the conflict and the international community are all of no doubt that the attack has taken place. 10 days after the beginning of the political turmoil within the 'concerned' international community President Obama issued a statement on Syria accusing the Assad's regime of the attack on its own people and calling for a targeted military strike to deter the regime from using the chemical weapons ever again.[4]

Superior Orders under the Rome Statute: a Flawed Development
Individual criminal responsibility for the violation of the provisions of International Humanitarian Law is the matter of International Criminal Law. The latter, in turn, envisages different forms of responsibility for the crimes committed as well as certain grounds upon which one may be relieved of the aforementioned responsibility. Article 33 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court deals with individual responsibility in cases of superior orders or the prescription of law and states that:
1. The fact that a crime within the jurisdiction of the Court has been committed by a person pursuant to an order of a Government or of a superior, whether military or civilian, shall not relieve that person of criminal responsibility unless:
(a) The person was under a legal obligation to obey orders of the Government or the superior in question;
(b) The person did not know that the order was unlawful; and
(c) The order was not manifestly unlawful.
2. For the purposes of this article, orders to commit genocide or crimes against humanity are manifestly unlawful.[1]
Several interesting issues should be pointed in respect to this. First, in order to relieve one of individual criminal responsibility under Article 33 its conditions (a), (b) and (c) have to be met cumulatively. Moreover, Article 33 won't be of much help when committing a crime of genocide or a crime against humanity pursuant to an order of the government or a superior. Thus, given that the Rome Statute currently envisages only three crimes which fall under the jurisdiction of the Court (genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity), meeting the aforementioned criteria cumulatively arguably relieves a person of criminal responsibility only for the committal of war crimes.
One should bear in mind that this provision of the Rome Statute is different from those of the Charter of the International Military Tribunal (the Nuremberg Tribunal), the Charter of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the Charter of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda which provided for individual criminal responsibility of subordinates notwithstanding the circumstances. The decision of the ICTY on the case of Dražen Erdemović is notable in this regard. On the 16 of July 1995 Dražen Erdemović, a soldier of the 10th Sabotage Detachment, and others received an order to execute 1000-1200 men and boys who had surrendered to the members of the Bosnian Serb police or army near Srebrenica. Erdemović allegedly resisted the order, but was then told that he either shot them, or hand his gun to another, and join those to be killed. Erdemović followed the order and performed the execution. He was brought before the ICTY and found guilty notwithstanding the circumstances since the ICTY Charter did not contain provisions on the relief of criminal responsibility.[2] This was fortunately fixed in the Rome Statute, yet, one might argue that the latter has its own flaws.
Since the provisions of Resolution RC/Res.6[3] adopted at the Kampala Conference and amending the Rome Statute do not affect Article 33, one can reasonably argue that meeting its three criteria cumulatively also relieves one of criminal responsibility for the committal of the crime of aggression. The definition of the crime of aggression is set in Article 8 bis (1) of the Rome Statute:
For the purpose of this Statute, "crime of aggression" means the planning, preparation, initiation or execution, by a person in a position effectively to exercise control over or to direct the political or military action of a State, of an act of aggression which, by its character, gravity and scale, constitutes a manifest violation of the Charter of the United Nations.
To narrow it down a bit in order for there to be a crime of aggression there has to be an act of aggression which constitutes a manifest violation of the UN Charter. Bearing in mind that the three criteria have to be met cumulatively a person is relieved of criminal responsibility only if the order of a superior or the government is not manifestly unlawful. If these two statements are put together, the following question arises: can an order to perform an act constituting a manifest violation of the UN Charter be not manifestly unlawful? I doubt it.
Moreover, as argued by P. Gaeta, "if the performance of an order by a superior implies the commission of a war crime, the order cannot but be considered manifestly unlawful, given the very serious nature of the conduct prohibited by the international rules on such crimes. The illegality of an order which constitutes a grave breach of the 1949 Geneva Convention (such as the order to kill, torture or threat inhumanely persons protected by the Conventions) is obvious."[4]
Therefore, the provision of Article 33(1)(c) of the Rome Statute read in conjunction with Article 33(2) is arguably futile since it can hardly be applied to any crime at all, however, in the absence of any judicial practices in this respect it is hard to tell whether the ICC will unconditionally decline the challenges raised under it. Moreover, currently the Court primarily focuses on superiors and given that it operates in a highly charged political atmosphere and still has to assert itself within the international community the application of Article 33(1)(c) is not likely to happen within the near future.

Crime of Aggression
Crime of Aggression: Who are we Kidding?
Written by Ronald Rogo, rogo.ronald@gmail.com
Although the waging of aggressive war was once described as "the supreme international crime, , differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole"[1], the treatment of the crime of aggression by the international community barely reflects this primacy. for years there has been little disguise of the lack of enthusiasm by the international community towards this offence.
First, while the other international crimes immediately came into effect with the Rome Statute[2], the crime of aggression is currently not enforceable[3]. Initially the reason was that there was no definition of the offence[4] or explicit averment on the jurisdiction of the ICC[5]. While the Kampala Review Conference[6] was finally able to nail down a definition for the crime of aggression, it took away with the other hand. The world still has to wait until 2017 for a second review conference in order for the State Parties to finally determine whether or not they really want to keep this offence. Essentially this means that the world will have to wait until then to decide whether or not prosecuting the "supreme international crime" is worth the effort! Viewed from the prism of domestic law making this is certainly NOT the way to make law[7]. Meanwhile, state leaders can continue bombing each other to extinction without fear of any repercussions for such actions (so long, of course, as they keep away from the other international crimes).
But even after the ICC starts exercising jurisdiction over the ICC the situation does not get rosier. The amendments in the Kampala review conference provided that state parties can elect whether or not to be bound by the provisions relating to the crime of aggression[8]. This is akin to telling a kleptomaniac to choose whether or not he wants to follow laws forbidding theft! As Kevin Heller stated of course it is to be expected that the aggressor states will all elect not to be bound by these provisions on the crime of aggression[9]. The states that actually choose to be bound by them will be the ones least likely to engage in acts of aggression. So, in effect, we would end up with a statute that could be analyzed to extinction in the academic halls (and, might I add, blogs on ICL) but with little practical effect.
Perhaps the main reason why there have been so many barriers in the implementation of the crime is because, unlike the other offences, it targets state leaders. State leaders, no matter what they say, want the liberty to bombard other states in order to pursue their "national interests". So then the question remains: if our leaders do not want to be tied down by the rigours of the law why should the citizenry? Lastly, since crimes against humanity and war crimes are common during wars it is unlikely that we would stamp these out unless we deal firmly with part of the underlying cause: acts of aggression. Our determination "to put an end to impunity…and contribute for the prevention of these crimes"[10] will remain a mere wish list.
[1] The International Military Tribunal
[2] These are the crimes of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity
[3] Whereas the Rome Statute provided for the crime of aggression, the jurisdiction of the ICC over the crime and its definition had been left out.
[4] This uncertainty was surprising especially as the United Nations Resolution No. 3314 of 1974 had earlier defined aggression to include "armed invasions or attacks, bombardments, blockades, armed violations of territory, permitting other states to use one's own territory to perpetrate acts of aggression and the employment of armed irregulars or mercenaries to carry out acts of aggression". While this was not a strict legal definition, it reflected consensus on the general definition and elements of the offence.
[5] See Article 5.2 of the Rome Statute
[6] Review Conference of the Rome Statute held in Kampala, Uganda in 2010
[7] I state this cautiously while acknowledging that international law making is different from enacting domestic laws. However, the fundamental principles are the same, more so deciding whether or not you want a particular law and its purpose.
[8] Article 15 bis provides as follows: The Court may, in accordance with article 12, exercise jurisdiction over a crime of aggression, arising from an act of aggression committed by a State Party, unless that State Party has previously declared that it does not accept such jurisdiction by lodging a declaration with the Registrar.

Reaching Mutual Consensus: ICC, ICJ and the Crime of Aggression
None should underestimate the significance of the outcome of the first Review Conference on the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (hereinafter ICC),[1] namely, the adoption of a resolution[2] amending the Rome Statute that includes a definition of the crime of aggression[3] and the conditions under which the Court, in the future, could exercise jurisdiction with respect to the crime.[4] Whereas the definition of the crime of aggression is rather clear and was laid down a while ago by the Special Working Group on the Crime of Aggression,[5] and the preconditions for the exercise of the jurisdiction over the crime by the ICC raise minor concerns, if any at all, there are still some ambiguities in respect to the hypothetical possibility of the ICC and the International Court of Justice (hereinafter ICJ) reaching different conclusions in their decisions regarding the unlawful use of force and, thus, establishing either the presence or the absence of an act of aggression.
Given that the ICC is fully seized with the crime of aggression in any particular situation and that by the time the ICC proceeds to a verdict on a prosecution for the crime of aggression the Security Council has likely already made any conflicting decision possible,[6] the ICC judges are authorized to make their own determinations on aggression, since such, made by an organ outside the ICC "shall be without prejudice to the Court's own findings" under the Rome Statute.[7] Hence, if the case is subject to simultaneous consideration by the ICC and the ICJ, there is ample risk that this will amount to inconsistent decisions.
The classic example of a similar decisional inconsistency between the judicial bodies of the international legal order is that of the ICJ and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in Nicaragua[8] and Tadić[9]cases, largely referred to in the legal literature as one of the inconsistencies leading to the fragmentation of international law.[10] The consequence of such an occurrence in the cases brought before the ICJ and the ICC appears to be particularly problematic given the highly-charged political atmosphere in which the ICC has been operating during the years, its fragile credibility and a lack of a proper institutional hierarchy within the international legal system.[11] Yet, the point is not to take a stand in favor of either of the two bodies, but rather to create a functional and logical system that would eliminate any discrepancies at an early stage of the proceedings in the case of aggression, which is deemed to be especially important in the light of the tensions between the states concerned.
A reasonable suggestion would, thus, be for the ICC to request the General Assembly to seek an advisory opinion from the ICJ pursuant to Article 96(a) of the United Nations Charter (hereinafter UN Charter)[12] and Article 65(1) of the ICJ Statute,[13] or to be so authorized by the General Assembly to request such an opinion proprio motu at any time pursuant to Article 96(b) of the UN Charter[14] as to enable the ICC to use the findings of the ICJ and for such a request to be a precondition for the exercise of the jurisdiction by the ICC.
It is worth mentioning, that this option was included in the Discussion Paper proposed by the Coordinator of the Preparatory Commission for the ICC[15] but was somehow dismissed later on. One of the main arguments against this option was that "because the determination of the existence of an act of aggression is a matter that affects the responsibility of a particular State that it is inappropriate as a subject of a request for an advisory opinion."[16] However, this is quite arguable in the light of the fact that (1) the issue of an advisory opinion does not trigger state responsibility per se, and that (2) the interstate dispute at stake and subsequent determination of state responsibility will only be subject of consideration of the same judicial body that issued the advisory opinion, namely the ICJ, which is well-known for its consistency. Therefore, the request of the advisory opinion of the ICJ by the ICC in cases concerning the crime of aggression seems to be a logical choice, but the question whether, if at all, this scheme will be put into operation remains.

This is a fascinating 1880 set of twelve maps or charts of all the stars and constellations of the night sky, by Richard A. Proctor. The charts, which comprise of six northern and six southern maps, show all the stars visible to the naked eye, and fifteen hundred other objects of interest, in twelve circular maps on the equidistant projection. These charts picture the heavens for the first time on a systematic plan, without appreciable distortion, on an adequate scale, and within a convenient volume.
The twelve maps include principle stars and constellations. Map 1 includes Ursa Major, discovered by Richard Proctor himself in 1869, Ursa Minor, Draco, Camelus, Cepheus, Cassiopia, etc. Map 2 includes Andromeda, Lacerta, Pegasus, Pisces, and others. Stars and constellations included in map 3 are Caelum, Cetus, Eridanus, Fornax, Horologium, Phoenix, etc. Map 4 notes Aries, Perseus, Orion, Taurus, and Auriga. Map 5 shows Argo, Canis Minor, Canis Major, Columba, etc., while map 6 shows Gemini, Lynx, Leo, Sextans and others. Map 7 and 8 include Antila, Corvus, Centaurus, Hydra, Virgo, Coma, Corona and Bootes, among others. The stars and constellations included in map 9 are Ara, Corolla, Libra, Sagittarius, Norma, etc. Map 10 includes Vulpes, Sagitta, Lyra, Aquila and Delphin. Map 11 notes Capricornus, Equus, Grus, Indus, Piscis and Microscopium. The stars and constellations in the 12th map are Volans, Triangulum, Reticulum, Musca, Mensa, Octans, Pavo, Hydrus, Dorado, Apus, etc. All together these twelve charts form a fascinating map of the night sky.
These maps were printed A. Brothers and drawn by Richard A. Proctor and issued as part of the second edition of the 1880 issue of A Star Atlas for the Library, the School, and the Observatory.

Erhaim nació en Idlib en el noroeste de  Siria. Se educó en Damasco y finalizó el grado de Máster en periodismo internacional en Londres en 2011 cuando comenzó la guerra civil siria. Erhaim pasó un año o dos como periodista con BBC Arabic Television antes de regresar a Alepo en 2013 para informar de la situación allí.  Alepo es la ciudad más golpeada en la guerra civil, desde que empezó la Batalla de Aleppo en 2012 ha sido dividida entre el oeste controlado por el gobierno y el este ocupado por los rebeldes. Informando desde dentro de Siria, Erhaim ha colaborado con The Economist, The Guardian, Newsweek, Middle East Eye, Orient TV, Al-Hayat y Siria-News. Como coordinadora del proyecto Siria del Institute for War and Peace Reporting (IWPR), Erhaim también entrenó a centenares de reporteros ciudadanos en prensa y televisión dentro de Siria, incluyendo de manera notable a muchas mujeres, para informar "con independencia y exactitud" sobre la guerra civil. Ayudó a surgir a muchos revistas y diarios independientes emergentes en Siria. Huyó de Siria en 2015 y continuó trabajando en el proyecto Siria del IWPR, ahora en Turquía.

En 2015 se proyectaron por primera vez una serie de cortometrajes documentales, Syria's Rebellious Woman (Las Mujeres Rebeldes de Siria), dirigidos por Erhaim. Las películas fueron hechas en un periodo de 18 meses en la zona ocupada por los rebeldes en Aleppo. Cuentan las historias individuales de un grupo diverso de mujeres y los desafíos que enfrentan por parte de la fuerza aérea del gobierno de Assad, las tradiciones conservadoras de una sociedad de dominación masculina, y el Estado Islámico.

En septiembre de 2016, a su llegada de visita al Reino Unido, a Erhaim le confiscaron el pasaporte los oficiales de frontera a petición del gobierno sirio, que lo había denunciado como robado. La visita era  para dar una charla con Kate Adie sobre "cómo y por qué los reporteros se arriesgan para conseguir acercarse a la acción, y el rol vital de las mujeres para sacara la verdad a la luz verdad para encender" en el festival literario Write on Kew .

Truth is, most NFL general managers would salivate to have the Saints' roster, and not just because of #9. It has the right blend of talent, experience and depth. This will not be an easy roster for many players to make, with the final cuts pending shortly, so front office pirates in the league will have their eyes on which ones stream across the waiver wire, looking to steal a late addition for their teams. In the personnel arena, the Saints, since Katrina, have somehow performed a hat trick, inconsistent with most of their history.
The pivot is on for Reggie Bush in New Orleans. There is no player with more upside for a fifth year veteran in the league, he having missed lots of time due to injury. Because it is the last year of his fat contract, detractors are having field days, saying 'dis is it for him. But that's about business. Insofar as football is concerned, his talent and value to the team have never been disputed here, nor will they be now. Reg-gie has once-in-an-era ability, even if manifested on the field less frequently than citizens of The Nation would like to see. Perhaps this is the year Sean Payton should think less about how he utilizes #25, and like the title to former all-pro receiver Keyshawn Johnson's book says, Just Give Him The Damn Ball. With turnover and the injury bug at the running back position on the team, this may be a timely mandate. And the Saints are quite fortunate to not have pushed the envelope too far, or Pierre Thomas away, in his contract negotiations this past off-season. Without him, there would have been no Super Bowl stories in the Big Easy, period.
Up front, things are stable with the Stones Of the Saints offensive line, though left tackle Jermon Bushrod will have to have a repeat performance in proving he can protect the blind side of Drew Brees, other than as a replacement for the now departed Jammal Brown, though another promising Brown, a draft pick from USC, waits in the wings as insurance. Guard Jahri Evans is the league's highest paid at his position, ever. He makes big quarterback money and nobody's wincing. There's no reason to think the Stones will not pull off worthy encores in the Superdome, like Mick Jagger did.
On defense, everybody in New Orleans still wants to know, are the levees fixed? The Saints let go miles of yardage between the 20's last year, but did hunker down in the Red Zone, and cashed in turnovers. If opponents hold onto the ball more, and don't miss as many field goals, this unit could come under scrutiny. Their theme song playing in the locker room should be Olivia Newton John's Let's Get Physical, as in standing up opposing running backs in their own backfield, and knocking some bobbleheads off with snap crackle pop, hi-lo tackling action. It will be a good sign if you see opposing receivers suddenly growing alligator arms when reaching out for passes over the middle.
Jonathan Vilma's injury has exposed that the linebacker position has lots of younger players with potential, meaning they haven't really done anything yet, the area of most concern on this side of the ball.
The Saints turn of personnel fortunes are no more evident than in their defensive backfield, where it is actually crowded with guys who can play. This feels like the aftermath of a lobotomy for Saints fans, as quite the opposite has mostly been the case here. Cornerback Jabari Greer is one of handful of the best cover men in the league and is a cinch all-pro, barring injury. Malcolm Jenkins will feel more relaxed in his second year. There is the rookie, Mr. Robinson, and Darren Sharper is back. Roman Harper needs to get beat less over the top at safety.
The Saints biggest opponent this season isn't on their schedule. Human nature tends to relax after a big campaign. Expect the team to play with less urgency, but more confidence all year long. And never feel out if it, though on occasion they may look like it.
Nostradamus swung by and said it is a good omen that the Saints play at Dallas, site of the next Super Bowl, on Thanksgiving, a forebear of them having played the Dolphins in Miami during the past regular season. But he was eating chicken wings, as in dirty birds. Just in off a flight from Atlanta, he told the Falcons that they have the pieces in place to make the Saints hold onto their necks in the chase for the division crown. This will be no cakewalk like it was last year, so dessert is out of the question for the faithful right now. Hotlanta was rumored to be practicing We'Dat. But like pre-season, it's only practice.
On his way out, I grabbed him by the back of his robe and asked him if the Saints would make it back to the big dance. He said there will be one playoff game at home, and to flip a coin if the road to Dallas in winter goes through New Orleans. Fortunately, he said, hat tricks can become learned, repeated behaviors. But I did notice his robe was black, with gold trim.

Content Management features the various content elements in a website that require regular management and maintenance.
Managing your website's content is a very important task that cannot be overlooked or neglected. The state of your website directly influences the public's perception of your company, whether you realize it or not. When people visit a website that has outdated information, pages that do not load properly or not at all, or even pages that have remained the same for years, they quickly hit the back button and select a website that is more responsible with its upkeep and refreshment of content. Website visitors view these outdated websites as low quality or even irresponsible. Further, the website visitor immediately assumes that they will receive, as customers, the same neglect that the website has received.
The solution to this problem is simple; initiate a proactive content management system. An effective content management system can make a huge difference in the performance of your website, both in terms of selling a website visitor on your brand and in terms of running a successful Internet marketing campaign. You can either hire an in-house content writer, graphic designer, and website developer, or you can contract an Internet services company that has the experience and knowledge to manage the various aspects of your website's content A content management company that has the talent, the personnel, and resources to keep content relevant and your Internet presence felt, a company like IntraMedia. IntraMedia has the ability to successfully convey the message and image that your business or organization is so reliant upon for its success.
Properly managing content online requires an effective and clear marketing message, an ability to manage, update, or change content in a scheduled and timely manner, and perhaps most importantly, a knowledge of how your content is "seen" or processed by search engines and indexing agents. Achieving this symbiotic state of managed content is yet another reason IntraMedia is the logical choice for your content management needs. From press releases to RSS news feeds, from organic search engine optimization to blog and forum posting and moderation, IntraMedia has the solution.
