Even a Special One needs a bit of help. Many of football's most successful managerial eras have been founded on partnerships, from Manchester City's Mercer and Allison to Chelsea's Mourinho and Clarke. What makes a good number two? Having no desire to be number one is a good place to start, and usually the combination works best with complementary, rather than identical, temperaments. Some partnerships that should work fail - take John Giles's arrival at West Brom with his brother-in-law Nobby Stiles, which culminated in the former's resignation in 1985 - but when a pairing works, it works. Here are five of the best assistants.
1. Malcolm Allison
"You're the greatest coach in the world but you'll never be a manager as long as you have a hole in your arse." Mike Summerbee summarised the Allison dilemma in typically blunt terms. For five years as Joe Mercer's assistant, in the late 60s, Allison cajoled a group of talented players short of confidence into a team that won five trophies. When Mercer failed to keep a promise to allow Malcolm to take over as manager there followed two years of strife before Mercer was forced out.
2. Peter Taylor
Brian Clough rated Taylor so highly that he let him lead out the Forest team in the 1979 League Cup Final at Wembley. Taylor spotted the talent - McFarland, Todd, Davies, Burns, Gemmill, Robertson - but perhaps his greatest spot was the young Clough when they were both players at Middlesbrough in the 1950s. If Clough had persuaded Taylor to leave Brighton with him in 1974 it's unlikely he would have been sacked after 44 days at Leeds. Sadly, they fell out in the 80s and Taylor's time in sole charge at Derby County was unsuccessful.
3. Jimmy Murphy
The Busby Babes could with equal merit have been called Murphy's Minnows. Busby's long-serving No2 was the coach that Bobby Charlton always credited with shaping his career, and took over briefly after the Munich air crash in 1958 when he was also manager of World Cup-qualifying Wales. "There's another one that's ripe for you," he would tell Busby as Edwards, Byrne, Colman and Best graduated from his reserve side.
4. Steve Clarke
His name was scarcely mentioned until he left Stamford Bridge earlier this season to join Gianfranco Zola at West Ham but Chelsea's spluttering season indicates just how central Clarke has been to the club's success. The fact that he has gone to be a No2 at Upton Park indicates that he knows his own strengths - as do the players he has worked with.
5. The Liverpool boot room
In its glory days in the 1970s the boot room functioned as a conveyor belt of high-achieving assistant managers - Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and Roy Evans went on to claim the top job with varying degrees of accomplishment but, aided by the estimable Ronnie Moran, they all served the manager of the time with success.

This week I started my new position as Director of my university's teaching center. This is my dream job: I have greater scope to effect change but am still very much connected to the nuts and bolts of teaching. However, as an administrator I work a regular 40-hour week and spend most of my time in my office or in meetings with other staff members and administrators. This is quite different than my solitary and itinerant life as a faculty member. Of course, becoming an administrator is more than just a shift in workplace or schedule; it is another culture and necessitates a shift in perspective. As a faculty member, I am used to being evaluated solely on the basis of my publication and teaching records (with minimal attention given to service). In my new position my "success" will be based on how well I can help other faculty teach. The administrative point of view is necessarily broader and my success will be less personal. I am also aware that some faculty members' perceptions of me might change, and vice versa. But what I didn't expect is that my new job is also making me happier in my marriage.
My new job completes a dramatic role reversal in my marriage: until a couple of years ago, my husband worked regular hours away from home, while I had a flexible academic schedule. Unfortunately, "flexible" often means that women academics do the majority of household work and childcare. After all, we can arrange our teaching schedules around our children's school schedules, we have more generous leave policies after giving birth, and we have "summers off." [2]
Don't get me wrong, I am grateful that my university's generous "sick leave" policy allowed me to stay home with my daughter for her first five months, and that I was able to arrange my schedule so that she didn't stay in daycare (most days) past 3pm. Nevertheless, as I now caution junior faculty, beware of scheduling part-time daycare when you have a full-time job. While my husband didn't have my work flexibility, he was, for the most part, able to leave his work at the office. Working at home means that you never leave work and that the boundaries between work and home blur. It also means that you get interrupted a lot. Is one way of working "easier"? Probably not.
Over a year ago, my husband started his own photography business and now works at home. Since I am now at the office all day, he is the one home multi-tasking: caring for our daughter, processing photos, calling the gutter guy, picking up groceries, taking the car in for a tune up, etc. He often works 14-hour days and is up late; yet because he's at home I doubt our neighbors see what he's doing as "working."
Recent comments in this blog suggest that there is still a certain amount of resentment toward faculty, a sense that we do not acknowledge the ways that we are privileged. I have seen this same attitude among faculty toward administration. As Donald E. Hall has argued, this unfortunate "us/them" binary between faculty and administration causes us to become further "isolated and entrenched" and keep us from fighting together for higher education (Hall 121). Faculty rarely know the budgetary constraints and competing demands that administrators confront; while administrators may forget the intensity of effort involved in faculty teaching and research – and demoralizing nature of our compensation.
Perhaps it helps when we switch roles and are forced to consider a different vista. Today when I came home, the house felt like a place of solace. The piled-up dishes seem trivial; after all, I will leave again early tomorrow morning to my clean, organized office where I can work in peace.

The purpose of IDE-E is to contribute to worldwide efforts to address the primary anthropogenic causes and impacts of global climate change and sea acidification through the development of renewable energy and energy efficiency applications.
The institute's mission is to assist developing and emerging-economy countries, international cooperation agencies, and bilateral donors with policy options and models for renewable energy and energy efficiency deployment as an opportunity for sustainable development, within local contexts and constraints. Read more...
At the core of IDE-E's approach is a vision for improving the provision and use of energy so that it contributes to sustainable development. Sustainable development, a core principle of IDE-E, is taken to include economic, social, environmental, and political considerations of sustainable energy deployment.
Convinced of the need for adequate frameworks with measureable indicators, IDE-E assists governments in setting up local targets and enabling conditions for sustainable energy development at both national and sub-national levels. More specifically, it provides guidance on how to assess, design, plan for, implement and evaluate sustainable energy strategies based on local priorities and targets, while taking into account international best practices.
IDE-E acts at different levels: at (i) a process level, supporting governments in energy planning and in setting up a multi-faceted, multi-actor public policy process to provide short-term results, while leading towards sustainable development opportunities, and (ii) on a project-level, to support sustainable energy finance, by facilitating financial deal-structuring and agreements between local governments and International Finance Institutions.

Sliders jazz up meals for kids and parents alike
Published 4:00 am, Sunday, June 26, 2011
When I started this column a few months ago, several fellow new moms wrote in with requests that went something like this: "I'm happy to have these quick recipes, but what can I make for the adults that the kids will eat, too?"
It's a conundrum that plagues most families. Nobody wants to be a short-order cook, but it's hard for everyone to sit down together and enjoy the same food.
At the time, I couldn't relate - my husband and I were just starting our son on solid food, and nobody over the age of 6 months was going to eat lentil and carrot puree for dinner.
Now it's a different story. Our son eats meatballs round the clock, which means we do, too. As such, we've had to get creative.

- Bell Pepper Eggs Are The Healthy Reset You Need Delish

- This Is the Absolute Best Way to Cook Broccoli GoodHousekeeping
Sliders are a good way to spruce up everyday meatballs. Tuck them into dinner rolls slathered with a little extra sauce, and top them with shaved parmesan and arugula. You can use the extra greens and cheese to make a side salad for the adults, and the sliders are perfect at any age.
Necessity is the mother of invention, and the second recipe was born out of the desire for a well-balanced dinner without exerting much effort - namely, a decision not to trudge to the grocery store after a long day.
I had a few chicken legs in the fridge that needed cooking, and little else. After some nosing around, however, I came up with a jar of cherry preserves. It seemed like a good place to start - in fact, it's a seasonal answer for the busy weeknight cook. Pitting fresh cherries takes too much time, but a scoop of the preserves - perked up with some soy sauce, whole-grain mustard and melted butter - made for an ideal chicken glaze.
Roasting the legs is a fairly quick way to cook them, and the glaze goes on in the last 10 minutes (be sure to save enough to serve on the side). The zucchini can cook in the same oven - throw it on a sheet pan with olive oil, salt and pepper, and finish with parmesan cheese. When it's served with some rice, you'll have a balanced meal that's both fresh and seasonal.
Roasted Cherry-Mustard Chicken Legs With Parmesan Zucchini
Serves 4
Bonne Maman makes a nice cherry preserve that I used in this recipe, but use any brand you like. If you have any fresh cherries and some time to pit them, they'd make a great garnish on top. Serve this with potatoes or microwavable, ready-to-eat rice - I like the frozen brown or jasmine varieties from Trader Joe's.
- 4 whole chicken legs (chicken leg-thigh quarters)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- -- Kosher salt and ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup cherry preserves
- 2 teaspoons stoneground or Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon melted butter, slightly cooled
- 3 small zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch coins
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 450°. Place one rack in the top third of the oven, and one rack in the bottom third.
Rub the chicken legs all over with one tablespoon of the olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper. Place on a lightly oiled sheet pan, and place in the oven on the top rack. It will cook for a total of about 40-45 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the glaze by whisking together the preserves, mustard, soy sauce and butter, and set aside. If it starts to seize up from the butter before you're ready to use it, microwave it for 10 seconds, then stir.
About 25 minutes into the chicken cooking time, toss the zucchini with the remaining tablespoon oil and spread onto a sheet pan. Season generously with salt and pepper, and place on the bottom rack of the oven.
In the last 10 minutes of chicken cooking time, brush the glaze a few times over the chicken legs. Brush again five minutes later, and again just before removing from oven.
Three minutes before the chicken and zucchini are done, shake the zucchini pan and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Switch the two sheet pans so that the zucchini is on top and the cheese can melt.
Remove both pans from the oven, and serve together with any remaining glaze on the side for dipping.
Per serving: 525 calories, 37 g protein, 16 g carbohydrate, 34 g fat (11 g saturated), 156 mg cholesterol, 698 mg sodium, 1 g fiber.
Wine pairing: The cherry preserves blend well with a Pinot Noir such as the 2009 La Crema Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir ($24; 13.5% alcohol).
Meatball Sliders
Makes 10 sliders, serves 3-4
A fun and different way to spruce up meatballs, these handheld sandwiches can be served for dinner or as a heavy appetizer. Think of the meatballs as a good base recipe - you can alter it to use up what's in the fridge.
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1/2 small sweet onion, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 cup grated Parmegiano Reggiano cheese + more for shaving
- 1 egg
- -- Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 10 soft dinner rolls, split in half through the middle
- 1 cup baby arugula leaves
Instructions: Place the beef, breadcrumbs, tomato paste, onion, oregano, cheese and egg in a bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper, and combine well with your hands, until all of the ingredients are blended. Using a 1/4 cup measure, form into meatballs about 1 1/2-2 inches in diameter.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and add oil. When hot but not smoking, place meatballs in the pan, and let cook for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden on the bottoms. Shake the pan gently to redistribute and turn meatballs. Add crushed tomatoes, sprinkle the sauce with salt and pepper, and turn heat down to medium. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through. It's fine to leave them in even longer, too - they'll absorb more flavor as they sit.
Spread some of the sauce on both sides of the open rolls. Place one meatball on the bottom halves of the rolls, and top with a few leaves of arugula and some cheese shavings. Top with the other halves and serve immediately with any extra sauce on the side for dipping.
Per slider: 272 calories, 16 mg protein, 22 g carbohydrate, 13 g fat (5 g saturated), 55 mg cholesterol, 491 mg sodium, 2 g fiber.
Wine pairing: Choose a red like the 2009 Cline California Zinfandel ($12; 14% alcohol) to complement the sauce.

It is a mistake to shield the world from videos of beheadings.
The Islamic group called ISIS beheaded American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff and a British aid worker David Haines. You and I have not been permitted to see these beheadings because the powers that be consider them too gruesome. Those powers want to protect our delicate sensibilities. There is truth to be discovered and understood in seeing and feeling the horror of seeing what humanity is capable of today. We are in Darwinian devolution. The world seems marching toward madness, murder and the Middle Ages in a thirst for blood.
We should see it; feel the threat as it is, not told to us. Clearly the ISIS warriors want us to tremble and faint with fear and trepidation in its pursuit of dominion. It's doubtful it would accomplish that aim.
The best of humanity has fought to thwart man's craven inhumanity toward man.
It was the power of photographs and videos that showed us what we were doing in Vietnam. It was the photographs and videos of Sheriff Bull Connor's dogs in Birmingham that showed us truth of segregation and hate in the South.
We cannot afford the luxury of being shielded from the horrors of hate. We must see it, feel it to comprehend the full power of religious hate that seeks nothing short of our complete destruction.

Family Law
Ask a Family Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
they are 2 girls, age 7 and 6.
We have been separated nearly 3 years, divorced for 1, and the financial consent order came into place August 2012
we tried mediation during divorce and he pulled out, making a long lengthy divorce after that. So I know this is not a route he would accept.
Yes, he has stated that I sometimes leave the children with my parents, however I have never left them with anyone overnight without me being present, so I can answer that with the truth in that I didnt tell him because I have never done it. I will check the website and try communicating with him again.

Game Day Weather
Short & sweet today because I'm doing it from my phone thanks to being in the middle of moving! An upper level disturbance will move out of the Great Lakes Saturday, bringing some morning showers & clouds before more later-day sun as high pressure moves in. Chilly all day with temps staying a good ten degrees below normal, & a bit breezy. Really Mother Nature, seriously? It's September!
If you're up real early you may see some rain! (icymi -Because of the rain there are restrictions on tailgating at the golf course) Temps will hover right around 50 degrees early on around sunrise. Overcast skies with a couple sprinkles will be what we wake up to, with winds out of the north at about 8mph. Heading into mid-morning and early afternoon, we see a little decrease in the cloud cover. That'll help us get into the mid 50s for lunch, but winds will pick up too. Tie down the tent! Winds will be out of the NNW at steady 17mph, and gusts possible to 30mph (branches will sway, empty garbage cans may tip over).
Still hanging on to some clouds by the time we reach kick-off, and sitting at 61 degrees. Winds will start to drop, and although they will remain out of the NNW we'll mainly get rid of the gusts and steady winds are around 13mph.
Temps stay steady through the end of the first half, and seeing some sun between those clouds. Winds are down to 10mph, out of the NW. The temperature will drop during the second half so you may want to have the extra layer handy!
Still keeping some clouds in the sky to end the game, with a light NNW wind. We'll drop to 55 degrees, and enjoy it- as the cloud cover goes down, the temperature will fall quickly. We'll be in the mid 40s for the late night, and if you'll be out for last call, expect to walk out the door and be hit with 42 degrees! Go Blue!!

Game Day Weather
There were a couple light showers early on this morning but the main rain is south, with cloud cover decreasing from northwest to southeast over Illinois- it won't be long before it reaches Indiana too. There are a few sprinkles still popping up on the map mid-morning, most of them south of US-30. Starting the day overcast, but more and more of the clouds will break up throughout the day. Temperatures will be in the mid-60s until closer to lunchtime, when we finally break the 70 degree mark. Overall high of 73 degrees, with a north-northwest wind around 8-10mph until early afternoon, when it jumps up to 15mph (this is a little breeze-you'll see leaves and loose paper blow about). It should feel like a great fall tailgate!
68 degrees for the start of the game. Not a whole lot of cloud cover, which will let temps fall at a decent rate throughout the evening. Winds out of the north-northwest at about 8mph (it'll rustle the leaves).
You may want the sweatshirt by halftime! Down to 62 degrees with just a few clouds lingering. Winds are very light, just enough to feel it on your skin, at about 3-5mph out of the north.
Clear skies and calm winds leaving the stadium to celebrate! It will be chilly, temps down to 60 degrees and falling to the mid 50s if you plan on being out late. If you're headed home Sunday, you'll need the sunglasses - sunny skies, light wind, and afternoon highs in the mid 70s (up from the low 60s in the morning).
If you're staying home... Very similar weather, but it'll take a tad longer to get the clear skies. We'll reach the low 70s in A2 with a northwest wind at 10mph before it calms down closer to dinner. 65 degrees at kickoff, dropping to 55 by the end of the game. With clearing skies, if you're out late we'll drop to 50 by the last ride home. Quiet conditions continue into Sunday, with highs in the mid 70s and plenty of sunshine. Let's finish this out with a win!

Game Day Weather
Thank you for the kind words last week and hopefully you're having a wonderful long holiday weekend! Low pressure moving through Canada and across Lake Superior will bring a warm front through the area Saturday. With high pressure pushing eastward, the pressure gradient will increase between the systems - creating a bit of a southerly breeze. It will be a great end-of-November football day, with afternoon temps near 40 with the sunshine!
Up and at em early to get that awesome tailgating spot for this big game! You'll definitely want the heavier coat and hot coffee at this one! We'll have some high clouds to start the day, with temperatures in the mid 20s through mid-morning. Winds will be out of the SE at 10mph (leaves rustle, blow about), but begin to become more southerly towards 10am. It's not much of a wind, but brrr it will give us a wind chill in the teens. As the warmer air makes it's way in, expect temperatures to go up and cloud cover to go down heading towards kickoff.
36 degrees for the start of the game! Hopefully you layered up - temps will continue to rise throughout the first half, but it isn't exactly going to feel tropical with a wind chill in the mid 20s! Hopefully you also kept the sunglasses handy because we'll see some clouds, but a decent amount of sun too. Winds will be out of the south at 10-15mph for the first half (paper blows about, small branches sway).
Warming trend continues, and we'll be up to a balmy 39 degrees for the halftime snack (hot chocolate?) break. It will still feel like 30 thanks to the breeze. Winds have shifted slightly to be out of the SSW, still up around 12mph. Still plenty of sun, but many of those clouds stick around too.
Hitting the afternoon high as you're leaving the game - at 41 degrees. A mix of sun and clouds with SSW winds dropping to about 10mph as you're headed out for a downtown dinner! As the sun sets the cloud cover will increase, and we'll become mostly cloudy for the rest of the evening and overnight. Temps will drop to 32 for dinner, and remain right around 30 until last call. Stay bundled up if you're going out late - that wind is light (about 5mph out of the SW), but it's still going to create a wind chill in the 20s. Beat. Ohio.

Game Day Weather
Due to the unexpected death of a good friend, I will not be posting a forecast this week. I apologize and thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult time. As always, go blue.
Game Day Weather
Breaks in the clouds will become few and far between and the morning will be mainly overcast. We have a slight chance for rain early on, but the main event will arrive later in the day. Temps are lingering in the low 40s before sunrise, but will continually rise as the warm air moves in from the south. And tie down that tent! Winds will also go up throughout the morning, and gusts will start early on. By mid-morning, we've got 45 degrees and steady southerly winds at 18mph with gusts to about 22mph (leaves and twigs are blowing about, small trees sway). Warmer air continues to move in, and by lunchtime we're up to 52 degrees. Winds pick up a bit too - out of the south at 20mph with gusts to about 30mph (empty plastic garbage cans tip over, you can hear the wind "whistling"). The other thing to increase heading into the afternoon is the chance for rain. It will move in from the west - you'll probably see skies darken if you look that way from Ryan Field.
Remember it's a 2:30 CT start! 58 degrees with cloudy skies and rain likely. Humidity levels will be pretty high - so ladies, it's really just a good day for a ponytail or that cute hat! And that wind's not backing down... south winds at 20-22mph, with gusts up to 33mph (it's difficult to use an umbrella, you need to use effort to walk against the wind).
Temps holding at a warm 58 degrees. Overcast, with a pretty good chance of rain, and a rumble of thunder can't be ruled out heading further into the end of the game. Some of the storms this afternoon may be strong- high winds, small hail are possible. Hopefully you remembered or bought the poncho, because the rain may be heavy at times during the second half. Winds have remained high - in the low 20s with gusts in the mid 30s. This is the type of wind that can produce 10ft waves on Lake Michigan.
Leaving this game under cloudy skies. Rain showers are moving through the area, and thunderstorms are likely. Keep in mind, if you are outdoors and can hear thunder - get indoors to be safe. While the main slight risk for severe weather is to the west of the Chicago area, some of the storms may be on the stronger side. Just keep an eye on the weather as storms are possible overnight. Temps stay up near 60 throughout the night, and actually go up a few degrees Sunday morning before falling after lunch. Winds remain out of the south at about 20mph with gusts in the low 30s. For those of you that traveled - Sunday will bring the cold front through, and cause temps to drop, winds to increase and shift, and more storms. Winds will become more out of the SW, in the upper 20s with gusts to about 45mph (this is when it can become more difficult to drive your car). While part of Illinois is in a slight risk for severe weather, Chicago, Indiana, Ohio, Northern Kentucky, and Southern Michigan up to Lansing have been upgraded to be in a moderate risk. Sunday there is a decent risk of severe weather in these locations. The main threats look to be damaging winds and large hail, but tornadoes are also possible.
If you're staying home... Saturday will be a little nicer for the Ann Arbor area (it's always nicer here though right? ;) ) Not a lot of sunshine during the day. Although we'll start the morning in the low 30s, by lunch we've jumped to the mid 40s. Winds will increase after lunch, steady winds at 15mph with gusts in the low 20s possible. Temps will keep rising, and we'll reach the low 50s in early afternoon and stay there. Rain chances arrive for us at home later in the evening hours, and storms come around Sunday. Ann Arbor is included in the moderate risk for severe weather Sunday as well. Go Blue and have safe travels, or have fun watching here at home!

Game Day Weather
A low pressure system is crossing through Wisconsin and Lake Superior, bringing along a warm front we'll experience today, and a cold front following we'll get later tonight and Sunday. We'll see some sunshine and some clouds, but be dry. And temperatures will rise throughout the day, but it'll be a windy one! Hold on to your hats, grab the sweatshirt, and get ready to beat Big Red!
The main rain event looks to stay to the north and we remain dry - seeing some virga likely (rain that evaporates before reaching the ground) and just a few clouds. We're starting off the day chilly - remaining in the upper 30s for sunrise, but with SW winds at 10-15mph, gusts near 20mph (small branches move, loose papers blow about) you can factor in a wind chill in the upper 20s! Tie down those tents! Temperatures will continue to go up, reaching 50 degrees around lunch, and we'll continue to have some clouds and sun. Winds remain out of the SW in the low 20s, with gusts around 30mph (you can hear the wind whistling, lighter garbage cans tip over) as we head into the afternoon.
55 degrees for 3:30! Some clouds will hang out for the start of the game, but we'll still have some sun too. Keeping a SW wind at about 20mph, and gusts are still possible up around 25mph (still a good breeze, and this is when it's hard to use an umbrella, small trees sway).
Keeping partly sunny skies for the middle of the game, and the wind! Temperature will hardly drop yet, maybe a degree or two. Winds remain out of the SW at 20mph, with gusts near 25mph. The good news is, the gusts are starting to fall a little bit heading further towards the end of the game.
Walking out of the Big House -with a win!- hanging on to 50 degrees and partly cloudy skies. Winds have gone down a little, but they're definitely not gone! Staying out of the SW at about 18mph with gusts in the low 20s (moderate waves could be seen on the water). As colder air filters in behind the cold front, expect temps to fall and the winds to shift - but remain pretty breezy. Late night brings Ann Arbor westerly winds 15-20mph, and so although it will be about 45 degrees, it'll feel like 35 instead. Staying out til close? 40 degrees with a wind chill of 30, and winds are now more of a WNW at 15-20mph. Cloud cover has gone down more, and we'll be seeing mostly stars with just a few clouds. Definitely not a night to lose the sweatshirt! Go Blue!

Kama'aina know this land in Upcountry Maui of as Erehwon —an expansive cattle ranch, whose name spelled backwards, is "Nowhere." Comprised of 3,285 acres, Erehwon Ranch rises from approximately 4,000 foot elevation to 10,000 feet, just below the observatory at the top of Haleakala. Expansive multi-island and mountain views in every direction. These verdant gently rolling acres of pastureland lend perfectly to continued ranching, farming and the creation of a private legacy estate. Once owned by Robert Gordon "Boy" (1896 to 1976) and Mary von Tempsky, this property is deeply rooted to Maui's cattle ranching history. Back in the early 1900's, the name Erehwon may have seemed appropriate as Maui was a mere speck of land in the middle of the Pacific. Today, Maui is a very special place on Earth and Erehwon Ranch is far from nowhere. The Upper section is zoned Conservation and the lower portion is zoned Agriculture. The bulk of the land has been leased for cattle grazing. An older Tudor style home resides on approximately 9.2 acres (TMK 2-2-3-5-07). This listing also includes a small remnant parcel of approximately 1,200 square feet (TMK 2-2-3-5-14). Many possibilities exist for a parcel of this size. Property includes 2 (1" and a 1.5") water meters. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT ENTER PROPERTY WITHOUT APPOINTMENT!!

"Game of Thrones" star Gwendoline Christie credits actor Simon Callow with saving her from a career slump by employing her as an archivist as she struggled to break into movies.
The British actress studied at a drama school in London, but was frequently warned by tutors that she would find it tough to land many roles because of her towering height of 6-foot-3.
Christie began to fear she had chosen the wrong career, but a morale-boosting offer of work from Callow made her more determined to succeed, and she has now thanked him for standing by her when others were predicting disaster.
She tells British magazine Elle, "He showed me great kindness, the like of which I hadn't known, and he genuinely, without being dramatic, kept me alive at certain points of my life. And I don't think he's even aware of it … (Because he believed in me) as an actor. As an artist. And I don't mean that in a pretentious way, I mean as in someone who had something to say."

Southwestern Students Participate In Business Ethics Match
October 25, 2005
October 25, 2005
Eight business students from Southwestern University will be participating in the 2005 Business Ethics Match Oct. 28 at the Renaissance Worthington Hotel in Fort Worth. Southwestern is fielding two teams for its first-time participation in the event.
In the Ethics Match, each team will compete in four rounds of one-hour debates on topics that include drug marketing, employee theft, truth in advertising, accepting gifts, competitive bids, HR practices, insider trading and sales practices. The debates are built around 12 case studies, eight of which students will receive beforehand. The competition provides students the opportunity to show their reasoning skills through debating current issues in business ethics.
Southwestern's team consists of members of Mary Grace Neville's "Business Ethics and Social Responsibility" class, which aims to challenge students' assumptions about business practices and social responsibility. Neville served as a moderator for the competition last year.
"We are extremely pleased to have Southwestern represented in the competition this year," said TICF President Marcia Hawkins. "It will be a wonderful event, and a great opportunity for business leaders who serve as judges to see, first hand, the quality of students attending our private Texas colleges."

B. Christopher Agee — August 7, 2014
In a recent interview, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee weighed in on the possibility of impeaching Barack Obama. He told radio host Steve Deace that while he "absolutely" believes such a result is warranted, he does not believe a Democrat-controlled Senate would ever allow the process to gain traction.
"There's no doubt that he's done plenty of things worthy of impeachment," Huckabee affirmed. "Now the fact is, we don't have the Senate, so even if you impeached him in the House and it went to trial in the Senate, it would never even get to the floor because [Majority Leader] Harry Reid has been sitting on 357 pieces of legislation passed by the House Republicans."
While Huckabee, often included in lists of potential GOP presidential hopefuls in the 2016 election season, took a realistic view on the issue, it is clear he wants to see Obama held accountable for his unconstitutional actions as president.
He concluded that "it's an important argument to make that there are a number of things that this president has done in the overuse of executive power – his complete ignoring of the law."
Specifically, Huckabee cited Obama's convoluted response to his troubled healthcare law as evidence that he deserves to be impeached.
"This is a president who passes ObamaCare and when the Republicans want to change it, the answer is 'It's the law of the land,'" he said, "until it isn't the law of the land, until he wants to give over 40 exemptions to his pals. Well, you can't do that."
While Huckabee recognized the appeal such unilateral power poses, he said an ethical leader must do what he knows is right.
"My gosh, when I was governor for the 10 and a half years I served, I would love to have been able to just make up the law as it suited me," he concluded. "But I put my hand on the Bible and I swore that I would uphold the Constitution, not my … own opinions."

Denver Mayor Michael Hancock is pushing a major change in the way City Hall looks at education, and at the same time walking a delicate line between traditional education and education reform interests.
Hancock is wrestling with two major appointments he hopes will help forge a new direction for the city's students from the cradle to post-college.
But as he chooses a manager of children's affairs and director of the Denver education compact — a new position to guide a binding agreement being crafted among City Hall, the school district and other education and business interests — Hancock is being watched closely by supporters of the teachers union and charter schools who sometimes are at odds.
Hancock and DPS Superintendent Tom Boasberg have agreed to be co-chairs of the compact.
The mayor's office has so far been able to escape controversy that has caused divisions on Denver's school board. And any step into the contentious world of education reform carries political risk.
"He ran on an education reform campaign platform, and he is going to need to follow through on that," said Van Schoales, executive director of A-Plus Denver, a nonprofit group of civic leaders who work on education issues.
"On the other hand, he also recognizes the political environment where he needs to have someone who can get some things done in terms of being credible from the teachers union perspective," Schoales said.
Complicating matters, Hancock faced opposition from the teachers union during the election. The union gave $50,000 to a political action committee that produced anti-Hancock campaign mailings and robocalls.
Also, Hancock was criticized for last year's support of school turnaround efforts in Montbello and for a television ad that showed him driving his son away from his neighborhood school to attend East High.
Hancock said the Denver education compact — with a board of "committed stakeholders" — will be about finding solutions to education problems.
"This is not an 'either/or' to us, he said. "Those are the kinds of agendas that have hurt kids in Denver. If we keep the focus on helping kids, all of this other noise will go away."
The compact is being devised to be inclusive, said Phil Gonring, senior program officer of the Rose Foundation who is helping to create the compact.
Gonring said the compact is being modeled after similar efforts in Boston, Cincinnati, Seattle and Los Angeles.
"It's really about multiple sectors coming together — early childhood, K-12, business, higher (education) and nonprofits — to set joint goals, develop strategies and metrics and hold each other accountable," he said. "The hope is, collectively the group will have a positive impact on Denver citizens from the cradle to career."
For example, he said, one of issues the compact could work on would be increasing the number of high-quality preschools in Denver.
The union will have a seat at the table, Gonring said.
Carolyn Crowder, executive director of the Denver Classroom Teachers Association, said that is all she asks.
"We would hope whoever is appointed is someone who listens to a variety of stakeholders and comes up with solutions instead of competing positions," she said.

5. Cancer Treatmentcolon
colon cancer behalf of various localization, form and histological structure of malignant tumors of the colon, a straight line, the cecum and the anal canal.In most developed countries, the disease is a leader in frequency among all types of cancer.Over the past two decades, cancer of the colon among the population on the prevalence of Russia is second only to cancer of the stomach, lung and breast.
Definition stage of the disease is based on three criteria:
There are four stages of colon cancer:
The stage is more, the cancer is more dangerous.
one single cause that would provoke the development of this type of cancer does not happen.Doctors believe that only the combination of a number of unfavorable factors can cause a person has this terrible disease.First of all, this:
1. The image of power.It is known that this type of cancer is common among people who prefer meat dishes with a minimum amount of fiber.Such food during digestion leads to an increase in fatty acid concentration, degenerate into cancer-causing agents.Lower cancer incidence observed among the people of India and Africa, where the basic diet consists of plants, fruits and vegetables.In fact, due to the large amount of fiber binds carcinogens and go along with the increased volume of fecal matter, minimally interacting with the intestinal walls.Also worth noting is that the negative effect on healthy cells have smoked, various chemicals and non-natural products.
2. Heredity.It is known that the closer the relationship with a patient with colon cancer, the higher the risk of developing the disease.Aggravating factors are malignant tumors of other bodies and a number of hereditary diseases: diffuse polyposis, Gardner's syndrome, and Turks.
3. Chronic bowel disease.To influence the development of cancer are diseases such as ulcerative colitis, intestinal polyps, Crohn's disease.
4. External environment - radiation, air pollution, and others.
sign of this cancer can be an adenoma - glandular tumor that grows in the intestinal lumen.Its size can be either very small and up to several centimeters in diameter.The adenoma, the greater the likelihood of the presence in it of cancer cells.Surprisingly, the symptoms of small malignancies may not be available for several years.
most obvious symptoms of colon cancer are:
Symptoms of colon cancer are varied and depend on the stage and location of the tumor.blood in the stool is celebrated in almost all patients.Violation of the chair and the difficulty of defecation are the characteristic signs of colon cancer later forms.In rare cases, the disease manifests itself immediately intestinal obstruction and requires immediate surgical intervention.
Currently, diagnosis of colon cancer include:
When analyzing the history doctor must pay attention to intestinal symptoms.Most tumors localized in the rectum and sigmoid colon, so the role of digital examination and sigmoidoscopy is very significant.To exclude diagnostic errors that can lead to incorrect treatment of colon cancer, bowel prior to the study should be properly prepared.
important, analyzing the tumor, the method is ultrasound, by means of which detected distant metastases and the extent of local spread of cancer.Use four types of ultrasound: percutaneous, endorectal, intraoperative and endoscopic.In the most difficult cases, we recommend magnetic resonance imaging and tomography.
most effective method of treatment has long been considered a radical removal of the metastasis and the tumor itself.Surgical therapy success largely depends on the quality of bowel preparation for surgery.A must for all patients considered to be receiving anti-inflammatory drugs, adherence to a strict diet during rehabilitation.For the treatment of the disease in the late stages after removal of cancer cells in patients undergoing chemotherapy.

If not, how can I do that?

Mets-Marlins Series Preview: Pesky Florida Comes to TownMay 29, 2009
It took a sweep of the lowly Nationals, but the New York Mets are beginning to ride high again. They sit at 26-20, which is good enough for a half-game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies at the top of the National League East.
Now the momentum must carry over against another team that has given the Mets trouble in recent years: the Florida Marlins. After successfully derailing the Mets' seasons in late September two years in a row, it's safe to say the Marlins own the Mets at the moment.
The Marlins are fresh off of taking two of three from the Phillies in Citizens Bank Park and roll into Citi Field looking to do the same. The Mets, of course, have other ideas in mind.
After their three-game sweep, the Mets are noticeably playing a "team game." Injuries to Jose Reyes and Carlos Delgado have taken the individual factor out of the Mets. They are now a team of nine fielders and hitters rather than a team led by two or three names.
Like the Boston series, game one is absolutely key for New York in order to keep their momentum going. The Marlins' probable starter is Sean West, a 22-year-old left-hander with one career start to his credit.
The Mets have Mike Pelfrey going, who has been excellent recently. A good performance from Pelfrey combined with some timely hitting will be instrumental in game one.
In game two, the Mets will definitely have to bring the bats out. Minnesota-born Josh Johnson has been excellent for Florida this year and had two great outings against the Mets in April. Tim Redding will look to shake off his most recent performance with a bounce-back game, but it's clear the Mets offense will need to fire on all cylinders.
Chris Volstad and John Maine will square off in the final game of the series on Sunday. Volstad has been lights out in his two career starts against the Mets, sporting an ERA of 0.73. Maine is looking to build on a mostly solid month of May. He'll be looking to pitch into the seventh and really get himself stretched out as he heads into June.
The Marlins are always a tough out for the Mets, and it only gets harder with Florida confident after their recent series win over Philadelphia. However, the patchwork Mets are handling adversity pretty well thus far, and a series win over Florida could send them soaring.

Yahoo Sports is reporting that the UFC has finalized the top three fights for their New Year's Eve weekend show. Its long been known that the fight for the interim heavyweight title between Antonio Nogueira and Frank Mir would take place. But the two fights below that fight are main event quality themselves. For the UFC Light Heavyweight belt, champion Forrest Griffin will take on undefeated Rashad Evans. And for the third time in their illustrious careers, former UFC champ Quentin "Rampage" Jackson will battle former Pride champion Wanderlei Silva.
As recently as Monday, UFC president Dana White said there were "lots of moving parts" as he tried to complete the company's end-of-year fight cards.
On Wednesday, he at least got the top three fights of UFC 92 finalized. The co-main events will feature the interim heavyweight title match between champion Antonio Rodrigo and Frank Mir. Forrest Griffin will defend the light heavyweight title against Rashad Evans and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson will meet Wanderlei Silva, who defeated him twice when they fought in PRIDE.
The Jackson-Silva card had been considered for UFC 91, when the card was slated to be in Portland, Ore., as well for UFC 94, which will be Jan. 31 in Las Vegas.
But White said he wanted to "stack" the UFC's traditional New Year's Eve weekend card and managed to do so by putting four of the company's most popular fighters on the card.

Travel SEM Is at a Crossroads
Paid search will be even more contentious for travel marketers as Google's search and travel developments evolve.
Shift to mobile and increase in impressions define competitive marketplace
Travel marketers are well aware of search marketing's importance to the online travel market. According to a Q2 2012 survey from iPerceptions, 40% of US online travel consumers entered the purchase funnel through search engines. And as smartphones and tablets become more ubiquitous, some of that search traffic is coming from mobile.
Notably, The Search Agency's "State of Paid Search Report Q3 2012" found that tablets gained a full 8 percentage points of paid click share year-over-year, while smartphones also jumped 3 percentage points in that time period.

I've got some ideas. I've also got some concerns about what this means in the race. The fact that Rosberg is still butt hurt about Hungary might even exceed Hamilton levels of childishness. To intentionally allow contact between team cars is much worse than any of Hamilton's prima donnaneess. Lewis would ruin his own race when he's butt hurt. Nico chose to ruin his and his teammate's race.
So Nico put Lewis out of a race. That puts him at a significant advantage in the championship. With only 18 races to score points for Lewis Nico has 19. An act of deliberate sabotage should be met with some severe consequences from Mercedes. I don't think they have the balls to park him for Monza, but they should. I think if they don't this will only escalate. Why would Lewis have any reason to listen to team orders (assuming they are going to impose them) when there are no consequences for intentionally making contact with your teammate (I realize he chose not to avoid it rather than intentionally hitting Lewis, but in the end the result is the same).
So what will Mercedes do? I'd park him for the race, but as I said they won't. Best case scenario Nico sits out FP1 and FP2 in Monza, but don't count on it. Worst case scenario the two drivers are no longer allowed to race period.

Allen Webster looks to define last season's blockbuster trade
When the Red Sox made their mea culpa blockbuster deal last August, removing the contracts of Josh Beckett, Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford, they received a bounty of five players in return from the Los Angeles Dodgers, and a few extra bucks to sweeten the pot.
Five months later the likes of James Loney and Ivan De Jesus Jr. have come and gone, and outfielder Jerry Sands never even had the opportunity to pull on any uniform for the organization.
The trade was never about those three.
If a return of any sort was going to come from it, it would be on the arms of 23-year-old Rubby de la Rosa, who was added to the trade after the 2012 season commenced, and Allen Webster, a 22-year-old right-hander who pitched his final two games of last season with Double-A Portland.
For Webster, comparisons to Derek Lowe were drawn due his ability to produce ground ball outs (2.05 ground out/fly out ratio in 2012), but the slim, 6'3" hurler combines that with accuracy and a heavy fastball that produces a bounty of strikeouts as well (468 Ks in 494 innings).
His mid-90s sinking heater and a cutting slider help to keep the baseball within the confines of the stadium, as last year Webster allowed only two home runs over 130 2/3 innings and only 19 total in his pro career.
All of this adds up to high expectation and Baseball America, SoxProspects.com and MLB.com all project Webster as the Red Sox fourth best prospect, and second best pitching prospect behind Matt Barnes.
Having been ranked as the Dodgers second best prospect by Baseball America heading into last season, Webster is familiar with the expectations but none are greater than what he expects of himself first and foremost.
"Of course I look at, everybody looks at it," said Webster of the rankings. "You just try not to think too much of it. You still have to go out and perform and if you don't perform, you're not going to get any higher."
Webster is aware that it will take all of his efforts to ensure that he meets his and the organizations expectations, and he is firmly aware of where he needs to improve to reach his goals.
"[I have to] be more consistent, cut down on the walks," said Webster who allowed a career high 61 free passes last season.
"[I'm trying to] just repeat my delivery better and not drift forward," he added. "When I drift I let the ball sail up and I miss my spot."
In 2012 Webster allowed four more walks, in fifteen less innings, than in 2011, but there is hardly cause for concern and his experience puts him in the perfect spot to pounce on an opportunity to reach the next level, which for Webster would mean Triple-A.
As the Providence Journal's Brian MacPherson points out, Pawtucket will be looking to make their rotation a bit younger this year and while De La Rosa looks to be a lock for the PawSox, Webster could also force himself into the mix with a strong spring.
Although he was only around for less than a month with the Sea Dogs, that acclimation could also play a part in helping the normally reserved Webster feel more comfortable coming into the 2013 campaign, but ultimately he is willing to let his results guide his path.
"I think it's going to help out a lot," said Webster of his short time in Portland. "I got to come in and meet all the guys on the team, meet the coaches and they took me in and were awesome to me. I couldn't ask for much more.
"It's hard to tell [where I might end up], it just depends on how I work on the field."
For now he is enjoying his time with his new organization after having spent his first five with Los Angeles.
He was one of eleven top organizational prospects invited to take part in the Red Sox rookie development program at the beginning of January, finding time between workouts to check out the friendly confines of Fenway.
"It was awesome to go see the field and go around it," said Webster of his trip to the 100 year old ball park. "It helps a lot because you can actually see your goal. It's just right there."
Regarding the organization as a whole he said, "They really look after you. They're awesome."
Two days before pitchers and catchers report to Fort Myers, Webster will celebrate his 23rd birthday and as he gets ready to reach the most important stretch of his career, he could quickly develop into a role that could signify a resurgence of young arms in the Red Sox system while providing a proper refund from the biggest trade of a season ago.
Ranaudo hip on returning big in 2013
Once a top five prospect for the Boston Red Sox, pitcher Anthony Ranaudo's stock dropped after an injury plagued 2012 season that never allowed him to get out of the starting gates with any momentum.
Now, as he gears up for Spring Training, the 23-year-old righty is discovering what it takes to get back to what made him a 2011 first round pick.
"By the injury you learn a lot about your body," said Ranaudo, who suffered from groin and arm injuries last year. "You learn about different things that you need to do to stay healthy. Unfortunately you don't ever want to get hurt and learn that way but since I did I'm trying to find the positive from it and learn about my body and my strength conditioning program."
A groin strain late in spring training set back the start of his regular season until mid-May and after posting a 1-3 record in nine starts with AA Portland, his season was unexpectedly cut short when he suffered from a dead arm.
"Once I got back on the mound I don't think I was 100% ready," said Ranaudo. "I don't know if it was mentally or physically, but I felt fine.
"Obviously I had arm issues. A lot of the stuff that I showed when I was on the field was not my best, so there is a lot to prove from my end. It's nothing that I can talk about, nothing that I can say, it's something that I have to go out on the field and do."
In November he got back on the mound for Caguas of the Puerto Rico Baseball League, and in 9 2/3 innings of work he walked only two batters and struck out nine.
Ranaudo did suffer through two tough outings where he allowed eight earned runs over two innings and though he tweaked the groin that plagued him in spring, he looks upon his experience positively.
"It was a lot of fun and a great experience," said Ranaudo who used the opportunity to learn from some of the older teammates. "From the baseball standpoint, that was as good as my body had felt in a really, really long time.
"As far as the 'stuff' standpoint, I felt like my stuff was just really back. My velocity was back to where everybody wanted it to be, where I wanted to be. I was pitching with confidence and being able to use my breaking ball, my curve and my changeup in different sequences and be successful with that."
His positivity in the face of the speedbump that was his 2012 baseball season stems from the countless physical therapy sessions over the past year, which have also served as a class in self-preservation for Ranaudo.
"From doing my physical therapy, you learn how important your hips are in baseball," said Ranaudo. "You always hear "keep your hips loose" and "keep your hips healthy" and that it's a key to a long career, for pitchers at least.
"Everything I'm doing for my groin now is hip strengthening, hip flexibility and things along those lines. You don't really think how different parts of your body are in connection with each other until, unfortunately, you find out the hard way. It's pretty crazy, but it's cool, because I'm into that stuff. It's been a good experience for me to learn different things."
This new found knowledge now feeds his urge to be back on the mound and with Spring Training within reach, he's ready to re-establish his spot as an elite prospect in the Sox organization.
"Hopefully I can just keep it at a hiccup," said Ranaudo. "Hopefully I'll be able to learn from this and be able to look back and have a long successful career.
"I'm healthy. I'm on my throwing program. I'm on my strength and conditioning program. I've been doing PT for my hips and my groin for the past 3-4 weeks. I'm definitely excited and ready to get down to Ft. Myers."

Recorded Books, one of the industry leaders in the audiobook market and a major supplier of the audiobooks, ebooks, and other electronic content to libraries, has been purchased by the private investment firm Wasserstein & Co., LP. The company was sold by Haights Cross Communications, which has owned it since 1999. Terms of the sale were not disclosed.
Recorded Books was founded in 1979, and has grown into among the largest providers of audiobooks on the planet, boasting a catalog of more than 8,000 audiobook titles and serving both retail and library customers. In addition to its place in the U.S. market, the company also owns W.F. Howes Ltd., one of the leading audiobook publishers in the United Kingdom.
In recent years, Recorded Books expanded the suite of services it provides to its library customers. In 2011, the company partnered with digital magazine distributor Zinio to launch Zinio for Libraries, which offers patrons cover-to-cover access to thousands of magazines, and was named Best New Database by Library Journal in 2012. Last year, the company formed a similar partnership with Indieflix, providing a library-ready platform for the independent feature, short film, and documentary streaming service.
In addition to streaming video and audio, Recorded Books has worked in recent years to step up as a distributor of ebooks to libraries via its OneClickdigital platform. Earlier this year, the company brought titles from Random House into its distribution fold, raising the number of ebook titles they offer to more than 81,000. Despite these expansions, Matt Walker, former VP of Recorded Books, told LJ last year that "our core business remains audio books and we have made our quality recordings available digitally through our OneClickdigital platform." Recorded Books' importance to the library market is only increased by the fact that audiobook giant Audible, owned by Amazon.com, will not sell its wares to libraries. Brilliance Audio, which used to supply audiobooks to libraries via OverDrive and is also owned by Amazon, stopped selling audiobooks to libraries in early 2012.
According to Troy Juliar, senior vice president of content for Recorded Books, the company's good collegial relationship with libraries was something that made it an attractive purchase for the new owner, and something the company intends to continue. "Wasserstein invested in us because of our great record with libraries," Juliar told LJ. "We want to make sure our ebooks get well established there, and that we continue to be creative in offering digital audio and ebooks in a way that meets the needs of libraries and patrons."
In a statement, president and CEO Rich Freese said, "The strategic partnership provides us with the resources to further broaden our content offerings and services for customers, and accelerate our growth into additional global markets."
Under the ownership of Wasserstein & Co., Recorded Books will join the firm's existing stable of publishing industry holdings, including Penton Media, ALM Media, and New York Magazine.
"With a proven management team, a portfolio of high quality exclusive content, and proprietary technology, Recorded Books is well-positioned to capitalize on the shift from physical audiobook formats to digital content," Wasserstein & Co. co-managing partner Anup Bagaria said in a statement. "We look forward to working closely with the Recorded Books team as it continues to build on its long-standing customer relationships and track record of strong growth."

Revolution and recession. For good reason, these two words have dominated headlines over the past year. Yet talk of such political and financial tumult has resulted in the neglect of a third issue, which is both critical and germane: sustainability.
In every crisis there is opportunity, and in my opinion, only through sustainable models can upheaval be turned into enduring opportunity.
Take the example of Libya: a nascent nation that has rid itself of Gaddafi, which now must attempt to overhaul his legacy of crumbling infrastructure, poor education and high unemployment, whilst nurturing a lasting peace. This second revolution, if successful, will certainly be more prosaic and protracted than the first. If it fails, however, the ensuing reality could possibly prove more fraught than life under the former tyrant.
To succeed, any newly elected Libyan leaders must utilize their country's natural resources (both finite and renewable) and secure the future well being of their citizens. For inspiration, I suggest they look to Norway and read the story in The Financial Times.
Such a comparison may at first seem preposterous, like, say, equating deserts to fjords. But if one looks closer, it is clear that these apparently disparate nations share some essential features in common. Most importantly, both have relatively small populations (of around 5 million people) and abundant oil and gas reserves.
Resources alone do not guarantee national prosperity. Recent history is littered with instances of countries, from D.R.Congo to Venezuela, that fall victim to the so-called Paradox of Plenty phenomenon, where vast resources prove more of a curse than a blessing. Then, there is the very real threat that a ruling elite can simply embezzle any wealth, as was the case in Gaddafi's reign.
The Norwegian model, in stark contrast, is egalitarian and sustainable. Since 1996, the Norwegian government has invested over $240 billion of its oil revenues into social welfare initiatives, on the one hand, and renewable energy projects, such as hydro and wind power, one the other. In doing so, it has comprehensively and responsibly insured it's citizens' futures.
In addition, Libya has one infinite advantage: the Saharan sun. Currently untapped, the lucrative potential for the solar power generated could supply much of Europe as well as the domestic market.
Sustainability breeds stability, and if the overthrow of Gaddafi is not just to be the latest in an perennial succession of coups, let's hope Libya can emulate the achievements of its northern counterpart.
Turning to recession, sustainable development can help remedy the anemic economies of the West. Investing in the Low Carbon Economy, which is predicted to be worth over $500 billion by 2050, will provide some much needed invigoration to countries that are facing years of sluggish growth and unprecedented levels of unemployment.
As with Libya, sustainability offers the West opportunity; it is a responsible means to attain an economically desirable end. To quote Bill Clinton, in a recent interview with The Financial Times:
"For $1bn invested in a new coal plant, you get fewer than 900 jobs, for solar you get 1,900 jobs, for wind turbines 3,300 jobs and [for] retrofitting buildings, 7,000-8,000 jobs. These kinds of projects represent a process of natural co-operation between the private and public sectors. I just say, "Here are the jobs, here is the investment. Are you really against it?"
Sustainable development must be viewed as a viable financial alternative to escape recession, rather than a simply ethically motivated luxury to be shelved whenever a state's disposable income dries up.
I hope to have, albeit briefly, made the case for sustainable solutions, which can offer much needed stability as well as future-proof models for growth. In the era of financial uncertainty and political upheaval, what more could you want?
