–Well this should be interesting. The Germans have brought the stock market rally to an abrupt halt with their Teutonic realism. "Dreams that everything will be resolved and dealt with by next Monday cannot be fulfilled," says Angela Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert. The S&P 500 fell by 1.94%. Crude oil was down 1.53% and copper down 2.02%.
–You wouldn't want to play poker with the Germans, would you? Are they bluffing and trying to force European bondholders into taking larger haircuts on their Greek bonds? Or do the Germans really have their serious face on? Are they telling everyone else in Europe there will be no easy inflationary way out of this debt trap?
–The forbidding news out of Berlin has prevented the S&P 500 from breaking out to new highs. But you can see that there are a lot of traders just itching for an even more powerful fourth quarter rally in "risk" assets. This matters for Australia because "risk" assets include commodities, Aussie stocks, and the Aussie dollar.
–For example, Bloomberg reports hedge funds are piling in on the growth/commodities story.
"Speculators boosted their wagers on higher commodity prices for the first time in five weeks as increasing confidence that the global economy will avoid another recession spurred the biggest rally of the year."
–Speculators and confidence: the stuff that new highs are made of?
–The story reveals that:
"Money managers boosted combined net-long positions across 18 U.S. futures and options by 0.2 percent to 656,691 contracts in the week ended Oct. 11, Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show."
–What's the trade here then? How about: short the dollar and long commodities? See the chart below.
Click here to enlarge
–The dollar index is the blue line. The CRB commodities index is the black line. The weaker the US dollar, the more dollars it takes to buy stuff. You can see that once the fourth quarter began, the CRB rallied and the dollar fell. The question is: why?
–Well…why not?! A market isn't a market if people don't have different ideas about what things are going to be worth in the future. But yes…this has the feel of a self-fulfilling (self-deluded) rally. Stocks and commodities are rallying because traders say they must and are putting their money where their mouth is.
–The Germans have more spine than the speculators. And at heart, the speculators are just looking to make a buck. Our guess is the speculators will throw in with the dollar against the Euro, and you'll see the US dollar/Treasury bond rally while everything else falls. But we'll see soon enough.
–In the meantime, let's get back to the disordered universe we all live in. Yesterday we tried to make the point that trying to redesign an economic system based on ideas like fairness, social justice, and equality is bound to fail. Those may be admirable concepts. But you can't remake the universe in your own image. It just won't work. You'd better quit while you're ahead…and go home and take a shower.
–The economy is a complex adaptive system, like an ecosystem, and perhaps like the cosmos itself. As Lee Smolin writes in The Life of the Cosmos…
"A great deal of the order and regularity we find in the physical world might have arisen just as the beauty of the living world came to be: through a process of self- organisation, by means of which the world has evolved over time to be intricately structured."
–It is hard for busy-body social scientists and engineers and economists to imagine that given a few simple rules, an economy might self-organise and a complex system emerge. It's hard to believe because the result is that millions of people (nearly 7 billion now) act without knowledge of each other's intentions and without instructions. But they still somehow manage to produce a diverse economic order that offers vocations, employment, incomes and a huge variety of goods and services…without anyone being in charge of it.
–The fact that the universe, like the economy, is a changing, dynamic, evolving thing is bound to deeply unsettle some people. Some people prefer eternal truths, unchangeable laws, and the certainty of a highly regulated order in life. These people are usually scared of the future, highly controlling, and naturally gravitate toward politics. Their natural instinct will be to fight back…against the universe.
–So get ready for the war to preserve the cosmos…or the war to preserve the old order. In one camp IS the old order, the oligarchs and plutocrats of Europe and America who want the next 100 years to be like the last 100 years. And on the other side is…everyone else.
–The situation is evolving and unstable. Only psychopaths and criminals like a revolution. They will be agitating for one. But our guess is that the Occupy Wall Street movement will be pushed, from the margin, into an act of violence that terrifies what's left of the middle class. They will crave for order and demand that someone bring it to them.
–By the way, has anyone seen David Petraeus lately?
–Next, let's clear up this mess about pensioners. We fear a miscommunication about the word "pensioner". We got some angry mail last week accusing us of bashing pensioners. But the confusion is a result of a language difference.
–In Australia, a pensioner is an older person who receives a small government stipend. We weren't referring to those pensioners. We were referring to public sector employees who've used collective bargaining to negotiate taxpayer-funded, defined benefit pensions. These pensioners are now the key players in the decline of the Welfare State. To the aged pensioners who patiently read the DR, no offence intended. You weren't our target.
–Reader mail?
Dear Dan
I don't know if you've been selective with the published comments on Wednesday, but I can clearly see you have a deeper understanding of pretty well everything than that of some of the wobbly minded readers (and "ex" subscribers . . . how does an ex-subscriber continue reading, and then write in????) And how could your comments about "industrial action" be mis-construed? You must find the tall-poppy syndrome amusing, being "hard on the battlers" is the last thing you could be guilty of, but, there you have the generally Australian attitude that just doesn't get the point.
Keep doing exactly as you are, you're insights are accurate, and a pleasure to read.
–Thanks Tony. We'll keep battling!
Hi Dan
The problem with using inflation to lower real wages is that it makes you uncompetitive internationally. Bringing back the gold standard would probably fix that but how to realign the mismatch? I guess lopping zeros of the 'stronger' currencies would be a start
Also, Defined benefits pensions and super should be banned, they are practically guaranteed to be a giant Ponzi scheme. I wish I'd known this back in 1978 when I started work because I'd have taken a plodding public service job then and be living off the serfs now. Some of the funniest people I know did that but they still complain about greedy business owners who don't help out the 'Battlers" until you suggest they may be taking more than their share that is
–One for Bill…
Dear Bill,
Your comments in 12/10 DR regarding cutting wages in half…I totally agree.
The dole, the Wokcover, and the Youth Allowance are silently but surely robbing people of their self esteem by blocking the normal instinct of enterprise. Not to mention what it is doing to society in general.
The labour market needs to able to float where how much people get paid or even if they get paid is left to market forces.
You're a bloody legend for your candour.
Keep up the good work!
Best wishes
Paul W. (China)
–And finally, how to thrive during a fire sale economy…
Dear Nick and Dan,
I clearly remember the day when Paul Keating announced on the evening news of "the Recession we had to have."
It was true then and it is very true now.
I was employed as a petroleum chemist working on the oil rigs in the Timor Sea. One of my colleagues, a petroleum engineer told me he borrowed $150K to play the stock market in January 1990. In 1991 he was wiped out, he lost his house, job and wife, I was unemployed for 2 years but I totally agreed with Paul Keating with "the recession we had to have." My parents always told my brothers and I to "save, save, save and if you have to borrow money, borrow as little as possible and pay it off as quickly as possible".
My time unemployed was very productive. I bought industrial land very cheaply and built warehouses. In May 1992, I bought kilos of silver and gold because they were so cheap. I was going to weekly "fire sale" auctions of companies that went bust, buying chemical equipment for my new business I started in 1991/2. It was a great time for buying assets at scrap value. And now, we are at that time again…finally….the recession we should have had back in 2000/2001 is here to now or 2012. I am cashed up and ready to go (to buy assets, houses, plant and equipment and businesses).
I pity the suckers who bought with borrowed money their assets (house or business) at the peak of the market but that is how capitalism and the free market works. Any boom built on rising asset prices financed by increased borrowing has to end. When asset prices rise above their intrinsic value, it is very probable that a reassessment will be made and they will stop rising. The point at which this occurs, there is a "rush for the exits", as everyone wants to sell before prices fall. And fall they will, no amount of stimulus spending will hold back the tide and after 20 years, it is going to be a KING tide.
Steve of Adelaide.

Inner West in Sydney
The Inner West of Sydney stretches from the small inner city suburb of Chippendale (south of Central Railway Station) to the secondary railway hub and business-retail centre of Strathfield to the west. Areas of interest to the traveller would include: Newtown, Glebe,Balmain, and Leichhardt.
The Inner West suburbs are amongst the oldest parts of Sydney. They developed along Parramatta Road, the road that links the City of Sydney with the City of Parramatta, at the source of the Parramatta River. The architecture of the Inner West ranges from terraced houses to small mansions and reflects its development in the Victorian (1840-1900) and Federation (1901-1914) periods. The area is quite culturally diverse. Its proximity to the Sydney central business district makes it ideal for city commuters and an alternative base for business.
Get in
By bus
The main form of public transport to this district from the city is bus, with numerous and frequent Sydney Buses routes leading to the Inner West. Route numbers in this area of Sydney begin with 4 or 5; useful routes include the 431-434 to Glebe/Balmain, the 436-440 and Metrobus 10 to Leichhardt, 422-428 to Newtown, the 480-483 to Strathfield Station and the 500 buses which travel up Victoria Rd past the suburb of Drummoyne. Note that some buses may be marked "Prepay Only", you must buy tickets from ticket outlets such as newsagents or convenience stores as they are not available for sale on buses.
By ferry
Ferries from the city provide a scenic route to the area via the inner harbour and Parramatta River, stopping at various wharves along the way. The most useful for travellers are the wharves at Balmain. Access to the ferry services is from Circular Quay.
By light rail
Another possible means of access to the Inner West is on the Metro light rail service, which travels from Central station via Darling Harbour to Glebe and Lilyfield (near Leichhardt). This is an interesting way to travel, as it follows the old goods (freight) lines which serviced Sydney's ports.
By train
Only the more southerly parts of the district are served by rail lines:
- The Cityrail [1] Inner West line passes through this district, stopping at Macdonaldtown, Newtown, Stanmore, Petersham, Lewisham, Summer Hill, Ashfield, Croydon, Burwood and Strathfield.
- The Cityrail Bankstown line stops at Erskineville, St Peters and Marrickville.
Both lines are served regularly: about once every 15 minutes outside of peak hour, with services commencing at about 5AM and ending about midnight.
- The Enmore Theatre, 130 Enmore Road, Newtown. ph 02 9550 3666. fax 02 9550 2990. email firstname.lastname@example.com. The Enmore Theatre is one of Sydney's premier smaller live venues. International acts who have performed here include the Rolling Stones, Ani Difranco, Flaming Lips, Eels, the White Stripes and Asian Dub Foundation, Joe Cocker, Michelle Shocked, Dandy Warhols, Jethro Tull, and Mars Volta.
- The Annandale Hotel, corner Parramatta Rd and Nelson St, Annandale ph. 02 9550 1078 is another of Sydney's best pub venues. It hosts many of Australia's best known indie bands and international acts. Cult Movie night ('Cult Sinema) on Mondays.
- Newtown's main street, King Street is architecturally probably the best preserved Victorian high street in Sydney. Neglect preserved it in the first place - no money was to be made by knocking things down in the twentieth century, and now regulation more or less ensures that more is being conserved and restored rather than demolished. Along its length you'll find the usual mix of shops in a major city's boho zone: second hand book shops, over thirty (at last count) Thai restaurants, Vietnamese restaurants, cafes, clothing shops and an assortment of odd quirky little places.
- New Theatre (address: 542 King Street, Newtown)
New Theatre is one of the oldest continuously producing theatre companies in Australia with a proud history that is intertwined with much of Sydney's social development and Australian theatre history.
From our beginnings as a political workers' theatre, we have grown to become one of Sydney's leading independent community theatre companies. Our productions range across drama, comedy, musicals, gay theatre, family shows, political cabaret and specialised education programs. We have revisited classic texts with bold new interpretations and premiered some of the finest contemporary writing.
- Newtown Festival is held annually in November and features local bands, crafts, food and cultural activities. Camperdown Park, Newtown.
Newtown and Enmore are also home to Reclaim the Streets, Under the Blue Moon [2], zine and comic fairs, Walk The Streets, and other alternative festivals and activist events during the year.
- The regular markets in Glebe and Rozelle (near Balmain) are a great place to shop with the locals and look for unusual bargains. Held in the grounds of the local public primary schools the Glebe markets are on every Saturday and the Rozelle markets both Saturday and Sunday.
- The Camperdown Bowling Club also hosts markets on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of every month - starting on February 13th 2010. Have some fun playing barefoot bowls and check out the markets while you're there.
- Gleebooks, 49 Glebe Point Road, Glebe (new books) and 191 Glebe Point Road, Glebe (second hand books). ph 02 9660 2333 (new book store) and 02 9552 2526 (second hand). [3] For booklovers, Gleebooks is Sydney's premier independent bookshop catering for a wide variety of readers. There is also a Gleebooks bookshop in the inner-west suburb of Dulwich Hill.
- Gould's Book Arcade 32 King Street, Newtown. ph 02 9519 8947. [4] Gould's is likely the most chaotic used bookshop in the world. Specialties include Marxism, Labour history, magazines, and Australian history. Open until midnight daily.
- Sappho Books Cafe & Wine Bar [5] is a large general second hand book store. It is located next to Gleebooks, with an upstairs area and incorporating a cafe in its leafy courtyard which becomes a wine and tapas bar at night. Sappho is quickly gaining prominence both as a great book store and for the quality of its coffee. 51 Glebe Pt Rd, Glebe. Ph 02 9552 4498.
- Better Read Than Dead, In the heart of Newtown. This is arguably one of the Inner-west's largest book stores with a large selection of biographies and hard to find titles. The store also has an ABC shop upstairs.
Shopping malls
- The shopping complex at Birkenhead Point contains a large number of designer factory outlets for fashion on the cheap. Currently being redeveloped, and a little messy, and doesn't make the most of its spot by the harbour. It can be accessed by ferry or buses along Victoria Road.
The Inner West is really a great place to eat, with a choice of "Eat Streets", where you can get to, and stroll along and do some menu inspecting before you choose your favourite.
- Thai Style (address: 16 Burwood Rd Concord) (directions: cnr Parramatta Rd and Burwood Rd) 9745 4405
Great Thai food at great local prices, eat in, book a party or get takeaway.

Best of all the gelato shops runs all year round, serving home made desserts. Take bus 464, 466 from opposite side of Burwood train station.
Balmain is a cosy neighbourhood with lots of cute houses and quirky shops. Ballast Point Park is a great spot for a picnic with a view over the Harbour bridge. You can get to Balmain by ferry or bus. There are also a lot of pubs around and a good selection of restaurants, mostly located around the main street, Darling Street.

open: 6PM-10PM, Tuesday-Sunday

open: Sun-Thur 5.30-11pm, Fri-Sat 5.30-12
Authentic Lebanese family friendly restaurant with cosy atmosphere. Great for vegetarians. BYO wine.
Norton Street is Sydney-speak for Italian, although the food here is generally pricey and mass-prepared. As a rule, avoid restaurants in the Italian Forum as they're generally touristy. Thai, Brazilian and Lebanese restaurants have also recently opened in Leichhardt. For more Italian options go to nearby Haberfield.
- Braza Churrascaria (address: 13 Norton Street, Leichhardt) +61 2 9572 7921
Popular Brazilian BBQ restaurant recently opened in Leichhardt - all you can eat for $38. Extremely busy on weekends, so bookings are advised. Not recommended for vegetarians!
- Bar Italia (address: 169 Norton Street, Leichhardt) +61 2 9560 9981
A Leichhardt institution renowned for their award winning gelato - which attracts lines that go out the door on Friday and Saturday nights (and constantly increases the price). Bar Italia also have a strict rule of nothing but regular milk in your coffee - so if you want soy or skim get your coffee elsewhere. Staff can sometimes be abrupt and rude, but it's well worth it for the gelato.
- Martini (address: Level 1 99 Norton St, Leichhardt (enter through Palace Cinemas)) +61 2 9568 3344
This place sells the typical woodfired pizza and pasta, but go here for the movie meal deals where you get a pizza or pasta and a movie ticket for around $15 - almost the price of an adult movie ticket.
- La Disfida (address: 109 Ramsay St, Haberfield) 9798 8299
Excellent authentic Italian pizza. In Haberfield, which is down the street from Leichhardt. A bus from Norton St or Marion St can get you there in about 5 minutes.
- Pasticceria Papa (address: 145 Ramsay St, Haberfield) 9798 6894
This place is famous for their ricotta cheesecake, but they also serve hot foods such as foccacia, arancini, etc.
- Ocean Foods (address: 154 Lyons Rd (Cnr Gipps St), Drummoyne) +61 2 9181 4336
Some people claim (including the shop) that this is the best fish and chips around. Prepare for a queue if you come on a Friday night or the weekend.
The King Street strip is a cheap eats paradise, with food from all corners of the globe, including a strong Thai presence. Try also the Portuguese bakeries of nearby Petersham for their famed custard tarts.
- Green Gourmet (address: 115 King Street, Newtown) +61 2 9519 5330
open: Lunch 12PM-3PM; Dinner 6PM-10PM
A specialist 100% vegan Chinese restaurant and grocer. They do an all vegan buffet - but beware, they charge according to the weight of food on your plate and include the (very heavy) plate's weight.
- Guzman Y Gomez (address: 175 King Street, Newtown) +61 2 9517 1533
open: 11.30AM-10PM
Great fast food style Mexican.
- Izote (address: 6 King Street, Newtown) +61 2 8084 9651
open: 5.30PM-Late, Tuesday-Sunday
Nice Mexican food, down the Sydney Uni end of King St. One of the only places in Sydney where you can get ceviche, and they also serve a decent chicken mole.
- Kilimanjaro (address: 280 King Street, Newtown) +61 2 9557 4565
open: 12PM-3PM weekdays, 12PM-late weekends
This African restaurant has good tasty meat dishes. Be prepared to squint a bit at the chalkboard menu when you go in, and be sure to order side-dishes: the mains are not very large. They don't really cater to vegetarians. Mains approx $15, sides $5. Nearby sister-restaurant Lat-Dior (see website) is open for dinner.
- Thai La-ong (address: 89 King Street, Newtown) +61 2 9550 5866
Thai La-ong has some of the spicier dishes among Newtown's many Thai restaurants. Their yellow curry and pad see eiw are worth a special mention. The restaurant is not air-conditioned and can be a bit uncomfortable on hot Sydney summer nights. Mains approx $10, but daily lunch specials include a plethora of generous mains for $6.
- Crispy Inn Bakery (address: 203 King Street, Newtown) +61 2 9557 3910
open: 24h
Across the road from yet another 7-11, and much more interesting. They're always baking, so there's always something fresh. They have a variety of pies, cakes, rolls, and loaves.
- Bitton Café (address: 37a Copeland St, Alexandria) +61 2 9519 5111
open: open from 7AM, closes 5PM (Sat/Sun) or 7PM (Mon/Tue) or 9PM (Wed-Fri)
A small gourmet cafe opposite Erskineville Park, mixing French Cuisine with Indian spices. Their homemade speciality jams are sensational. A popular breakfast spot for locals, expect to wait for seating on weekends. Mains $15-20.
- Thai Pothong (address: 294 King Street, Newtown) (directions: 50m from Newtown Station) +61 2 9519 8050
price: Mains $15-$29
open: Lunch 12-3PM (Tue-Sun) Dinner 6PM-10/11PM (7 days)
One of Sydney's premier Thai Restaurants with understated black and white decor and awesome but relatively pricey food. This place won Thai Restaurant of the Year for several years running many years ago, and one taste of the food will show you why. It has since expanded three times and incorporates a Thai gift shop.
- Guzzle Tandoori (address: 453 King Street, Newtown) +61 2 9557 3537
open: 5.30PM-midnight
Excellent authentic Pakastani meals, typically about $15/person. Save some room for the dessert naan, delicious!
- Sumalee Thai @ The Bank Hotel (address: 324 King Street, Newtown) (directions: Next to Newtown Station, enter through the main bar and go down stairs) +61 2 8568 1988
This institution of Newtown was completely rebuilt in 2006. Its secret beer garden - Sumalee Thai - has probably the best Thai in Sydney, although some dishes are very spicy. The menu looks expensive but each dish will be enough for two people. Finish the night at the cocktail bar upstairs (see listing in "Drink").
- Linda's on King St (address: 341 King St, Newtown) (directions: 50m south from Newtown Station) (02) 9550 6015
price: Mains $28
open: Tue-Sat from 6PM
- Rowda Ya Habibi (address: 101 King Street, Newtown)
open: 10:30 AM-midnight
This dingy looking store is far and away the best place for a take away doner kebab in Newtown. Unlike other Newtown kebab stores, which seem to largely cater to drunk people stumbling out of pubs, Ya Habibi's kebabs are fairly authentic (the tabouleh and sauces are made by the owners, and they include a very tasty pickled red cabbage), and at $5.50 AUD for a falafel roll or $6.50 for chicken or lamb, are actually a little cheaper. Also worth checking out are their dolmas ($1.50 each) and their large, soft and delicious pieces of turkish delight (80 cents each or $5 for a box, but most of the time the box is worse value).
- AB Hotel (formerly The Ancient Briton), 225 Glebe Point Road, Glebe. ph 02 9660 1417. This hotel has just undergone major renovations and is looking great with a Russian theme inside. The AB claims to have Sydney's coldest beer on tap. It's a large and not terribly crowded local pub with pool tables, couches and a bar made out of a fishtank. Cajun food is served daily, about $15 mains including Jambalaya, fried chicken, fish cakes and sweet potato pie.

#ThrowbackThursday: April & May 2006
The following was written for Morgan's Corner in April & May of 2006. Morgan's Corner was created in 2005 as a way for parents and children to get a better insight into the day-to-day life of food allergies. It was featured at the end of the AllergicChild.com monthly newsletter and covered a wide variety of topics: school, travel, friends, cooking – really anything! Enjoy!
April 2006
Now that you're getting older, do you ever go on school field trips without a parent joining in?
Only once so far. It was to a mining museum. I brought along my Epi Pens and Benadryl just in case if something happens. I have chosen on my next field trip, to Bent's Old Fort in Eastern Colorado, to go with neither of my parents joining.
What do you have to bring in order to be safe?
I have to bring safe snacks, my own lunch, and of course my Epi Pen. I also bring Benadryl just if I get itchy eyes or something that is mild. I also make sure to have a friend nearby so that he knows what is happening and can tell my teacher to give me my Epi Pen if that would ever be necessary.
What did you experience on a recent field trip that could have been unsafe?
At the mining museum, we panned for gold. I did not participate because from an experience at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. They had a little exploration box where you could dig for dinosaur bones. I could have done it, but on the sign, it said: Sand is made from Walnut Dust. I never did go do that again! At the Mining Museum, there was dirt and things at the bottom, along with gold flakes. I did not want to take risks just in case if the water was some type of oil, or whatever.
Did you feel left out not being able to participate in that?
Actually not. I have to be able to cooperate with my allergies and my life.
What do you plan on doing on your next field trip that goes all day and is 2 ½ hours away by bus to Bent's Old Fort?
I plan to bring the same things as the Mining Museum trip – snacks, lunch, and my Epi kit which includes all my medicine. I also planned with my teacher that everyone will bring a safe snack and lunch, plus safe things to do, like not trade food things.
Are there any field trips that you wouldn't want to participate in?
Yes, quite a few. The petting zoo, the cookie factory (if we ever went there), and a lot of other things that wouldn't be safe for me if they were one of my allergens.
…And There's More!

May 2006
What advice would you give to a food allergic child starting kindergarten? What should they do and be careful about?
To children starting kindergarten: You should be safe about what you eat and be careful about your surroundings like what other people eat and if you are allergic to what they are eating. You should also never accept a snack from another person. Bring your own food from home always.
What do you remember about kindergarten and your food allergies?
I do vaguely. It was a fun place to be. I always was careful about what I was about to eat. I don't think I had any problems with anybody in my classroom.
What can young food allergic kids do to keep themselves safe at school?
You should always notify a teacher what you are allergic to and tell them what they can do to keep you safe. You should always have an Epi Pen® at school somewhere close by. Also, you should let other students know in your class about your food allergy or allergies so they also get what's happening not just from the teacher but by you personally.
What can parents do to keep their children safe at school?
Parents, you can also tell the teacher that your child or children have severe food allergies. Never let your child eat anything that is homemade from other children because it could have been made with or right after something that your child is allergic to. You should volunteer a lot so you know what's happening at school and also so you can keep your child or children safe.

Relevant bird flu. [Fwd: WEST AFRICA: Compensation needed after culling]

- Hi Andrius
Relevant bird flu/poultry - not sure where you want it sent.

WEST AFRICA: Compensation needed after culling
[This report does not necessarily reflect the views of the United Nations]
BAMAKO, 6 December (IRIN) - To stop deadly strains of bird flu from mutating and infecting humans, millions of infected poultry will have to be culled as soon as an outbreak is reported and farmers must be compensated, agriculture specialists said on Wednesday.
"Our biggest challenge is the poor, small-scale farmers," Christopher Delgado, a World Bank agricultural economist, told IRIN at an international conference on bird flu that opened in Bamako in Wednesday.
More than a 100 countries and international organisations are represented at the three-day conference where experts exchange information and government ministers agree on policies and funding objectives. Delgado led an interagency task force that wrote a report for the conference on controling the spread of bird flu in developing countries through compensation.
He said the prospect of killing poor people's chickens en mass is "obscene". Poultry has become an increasingly important source of protein in developing countries with production growing annually by 5.9 percent per capita, compared to cereal production, which has only grown by 0.4 percent, according to Delgado.
"It's the little guy producing a few hundred chickens who will get wiped out unless compensation schemes are properly worked out," Delgado said.
The schemes must work quickly, he said. Experience has shown that culling must take place within 72 hours of a reported outbreak or else the disease will become far more difficult and expensive to contain.
If the compensation money is not readily available poor farmers are likely to do whatever they can to resist losing their livelihoods, Delgado said. Governments in poor countries generally have little extra money to spare and donor emergency funding is not always expeditious.
Creating institutions to disperse money quickly has already been a problem in developing countries where outbreaks have occurred, Delgado said. Compensation money has disappeared because of corruption, while even honest government officials have been wary of dispersing money quickly in case the claims were false.
The containment of outbreaks in Vietnam in 2003 and 2004 worked better but some officials said that the success was in part due to the government's authoritarian approach. An estimated 17 percent of the total poultry population was culled.
The Delgado-led report praised the work of the Vietnamese government but called for no more than 10 percent of a nation's poultry to be culled, and only five percent in the case of poor countries where people have few alternative sources of food. The remaining infected birds should be vaccinated, the report said.
The report also said that governments might need to compensate not just farmers but also feed suppliers, workers and transporters.
But the first step that governments need to take in creating a good compensation scheme is often legislation, Delgado said.
"After all, this is an issue about the state destroying private property for the public good," he said.

The Shilohs Videos
Vancouver jangle pop foursome The Shilohs just released their impressive self-titled sophomore album on May 13.
The Shilohs' vibe is tough to describe, but the band's bassist Daniel Colussi comes close. "Our new album is the sound of four guys, three songwriters," he said. "Trying to exorcise the ghosts of Glen Campbell, Lou Reed and Paul McCartney...with some backbeat."
If that sounds like a sonic stew you want to taste, then go see 'em live.

Another 28 people were injured in the 6.30am (2330BST Thursday) explosion in the village of Dongzhai in Shanxi province, the Xinhua News Agency said. It said the cause under investigation.
Shanxi is a major coal-producing area where explosives often are made in unlicensed workshops that lack required safety equipment and stored in private homes.
In April, 31 people were killed in Shanxi when a 1.8 tonne cache of explosives blew up at a hospital. A hospital administrator who moonlighted as a coal mine manager admitted storing the explosives at the hospital.
Last month, in another village in Shanxi, 10 people were killed when a blast ripped through a building where dynamite was being made illegally, according to news reports.
Elsewhere in Shanxi, six people were killed in February when a cache of explosives stored in a house blew up.

Kansas Raiders is a 1950 Technicolor Western film directed by Ray Enright and starring Audie Murphy, Brian Donlevy, Marguerite Chapman and Scott Brady. It is set during the American Civil War and involves Jesse James coming under the influence of William Quantrill.
Jesse James (Murphy) and his friends -- brother Frank (Richard Long), brothers Cole (James Best) and Jim Younger (Dewey Martin), plus Kit Dalton (Tony Curtis) -- arrive in Lawrence, Kansas, and are falsely accused of being members of Quantrill's Raiders. They are about to be lynched but are saved by the intervention of a Union officer.
The men are released and they go on and join Quantrill (Donlevy). Jesse at first admires Quantrill but comes to question his devotion after seeing atrocities committed by the man and his troops. He also falls for Kate Clarke (Marguerite Chapman).
The raiders take part in the Lawrence Massacre in which Jesse and his men rob their first bank. Most of the raiders abandon Quantrill except for Jesse. Quantrill is blinded then killed in a shoot out with Union troops. Jesse leaves Kate and heads off with his friends to a bank robbing.

Federal Partnerships
The Office of Head Start (OHS) partners with other federal agencies to publicize and expand the services, resources, and funding available to programs and their local partners. These collaborative efforts help to promote the economic and social well-being of children and families so that they can lead healthy, successful lives. Federal agencies also provide free resources that are relevant to Head Start and Early Head Start programs. Many of our partnering agencies are part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), a division of HHS.
The following list highlights initiatives and resources developed through federal collaborative efforts.
Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) partners with OHS on a number of initiatives to improve health and achieve health equity. These include the:
- Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program
- Migrant Health Center Program (MHCP)
- Early Head Start (EHS) – Healthy Start Collaboration
- Early Childhood Hearing Outreach (ECHO) Initiative

They both also partner with the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on the Where's Baby? Look Before You Lock campaign.
Children's Bureau, ACF, HHS
The Children's Bureau (CB) provides support and guidance to programs that focus on strengthening families, preventing child abuse and neglect, and protecting children when abuse or neglect has occurred. The CB partners with OHS and other federal agencies to promote Early Childhood and Child Welfare (ECCW) partnerships and the Child Welfare Information Gateway, which offer information on ways child welfare and child abuse prevention programs can work with early childhood programs.
Environmental Protection Agency
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and OHS have worked together to deliver health risk reduction messages to nearly a million families nationwide, such as the Care for Their Air campaign.
The following resources are available at no cost through coordinated federal efforts.
- HHS's Birth to 5: Watch Me Thrive! encourages healthy child development, universal developmental and behavioral screening for children, early identification of concerns or delays, and support for the families and providers who care for young children.

Pimlico: Water Cannon meets easier
Water Cannon, last of 10 in the Preakness Stakes three weeks ago, takes a steep drop in class to face Maryland-breds in the $75,000 Deputed Testamony at 1 1/16 miles.
Before running far behind Smarty Jones, Water Cannon had won five races in a row, including three stakes, since trainer Linda Albert added blinkers.
The most formidable threat to Water Cannon could be Andiamo, who improved nearly 20 points on the Beyer scale, to a 96, when he crushed allowance horses at Delaware in his first start around two turns.

Jan Croker, the audiological scientist who tested Pete's hearing, was not at all surprised at the result.
"I see more and more baby boomers like Pete who listened to loud rock music in the Sixties and Seventies and who are now suffering from a substantial degree of hearing loss," she says.
Industrial workers have long been aware of the damage that loud noise can do to their hearing, and anyone exposed to more than 90 decibels throughout the day is obliged by law to wear ear protection. But according to recent research from Australia, young people who use personal stereos are regularly experiencing noise levels that exceed safety limits - just in the pursuit of pleasure.
The Australian study of 1,700 young people found hearing loss in people in their twenties and thirties. "Anything above 85 decibels increases your risk of hearing loss," says Jan Croker. "And if you're listening to a personal stereo in a noisy place, you may be turning up the volume without realising it.
"You begin to increase your risk of hearing loss when noise reaches levels of more than 85 decibels. To give you an idea of what that constitutes, the sound of a vacuum cleaner measures 80 decibels; a crying child produces 90 decibels or so, and a personal stereo hits about 100 decibels."
The Royal National Institute for Deaf People confirms that loud, continuous noise irreversibly damages the sensitive hair cells in the inner ear.
"We are all subjected to far more noise these days as part of everyday life, but it's digital technology that has made the real difference to the levels of noise that we can control," says Marie Mangan, of the RNID. "In the old days, when music was too loud it automatically distorted, acting as an automatic protection mechanism. Nowadays, digital technology means that we can turn the sound right up with hardly any distortion at all."
Jan Croker agrees. "Young people who go clubbing all night are particularly at risk of hearing loss," she points out. Music in night-clubs and raves can reach 120 decibels, and can go on for 15 hours. Exposure to these levels for two or three hours a week would give more than the "noise dose" considered unacceptable in industry. "Most people working in that level of noise would be obliged by their employers to wear ear protection."
Although Pete has hardly noticed that he has trouble with his hearing, he does admit that he can miss the ends of words and has some difficulty picking up high-pitched sounds. "I suppose, if I am honest about it, I do have trouble hearing conversations, particularly if I am in a bar, for example, where there is a lot of background noise," he says.
"Pete is a classic case of someone who is constantly compensating for his hearing loss," says Jan Croker. "Ears are delicate and complex structures, which are easy to damage. Hearing loss can creep up on people. The ringing noises in his ears after that rock concert all those years ago went away, but we now know that this type of loud noise causes subtle levels of damage to the infrastructure of the inner ear, and the effects are cumulative."
We may all be storing up trouble for the future, according to the RNID. They are concerned about the growing trend for film-makers and studios to produce films with unnecessary and exceedingly high sound levels.
"Recent examples are Armageddon, which reached 115 decibels, Lethal Weapon, which reached 108 decibels, and Godzilla, at 109 decibels. These are all way above the comfortable limit at which we should be listening to sound," says Marie Mangan.
So is there anything we can do to protect our hearing? "Earplugs are the latest fashion accessory on the dance floor," says Jan Croker. "Many DJs are now wearing them. I recently tested the hearing of a DJ who had significant hearing loss. He now never goes into a club without earplugs. They knocks off just enough noise to make the difference between damaging your hearing, or not."
And what about people such as Pete, in whom the damage may already be done?
"Ironically, the very technology that has made loud noise so prevalent can help the problems it creates," says Jan Croker. "Nowadays you can get minute digital hearing aids that are invisible because they sit right inside the ear." On a recent television programme, Peter Stringfellow demonstrated a hearing aid of this type.
However, hearing aids still have a certain stigma attached to them - and they can be pricey. The really tiny ones can cost pounds 500 to pounds 2,000. But now the RNID is calling for a national screening campaign for everyone aged 50 and over, and for the new digital hearing aids to be made available on the NHS.
Jan Croker says: "If people are screened sooner, and fitted with hearing aids earlier, they fare better as they get older, when age-related hearing loss kicks in."
She predicts a rise in the numbers of young people with hearing loss who will be coming to her clinic in the future. "If Pete has the hearing of a 78-year-old as a result of rock music in the Sixties, it's hard to imagine what on earth is happening to the ears of the youth today."
Meanwhile, Pete is going back in a year's time to have his hearing tested again. "Now I am aware of the problem, I want to be able to do something if my hearing gets any worse. I'm not too keen on having a hearing aid, but if it were necessary I guess I would go along with it," he says.

For a land where Western music was not long ago calibrated in purely negative terms - Debussy being "useless", Schumann "unhealthily introspective", and Beethoven at best "harmless" - this marks a dramatic change.
According to Maestro Chen Zuohuang, due to conduct the China National Symphony Orchestra at the South Bank on Tuesday, this middle-class fad betokens a big audience for the future. He says: "What strikes me when we tour the Chinese provinces is how hungry people are for classical music.
"Recently we gave a concert in Nanchung - the first classical concert in that city's history - and by the time we arrived every pump attendant knew about us. And it didn't feel like a normal concert: it was from the heart, to the heart."
But his orchestra is a rarity, for China has just 20 to serve a population comprising 20 per cent of the human race. And China's classical musicians are still grappling with the burden of the past, as I recently found in Peking. Officially denied access to the conservatoire - no reason was given - I got in by the back door thanks to an obliging musical mafia.
The students were eager and hopeful as students always are, but their teachers had the wariness of battle-scarred survivors. They had acquired their art in secret, and often in silence, through superhuman tenacity. When I asked Yang Hongnian, the professor of choral studies, how he coped with 10 years' labour in the fields, he triumphantly thrust a book into my hands: The Art of Choral Training, which he had written during the long nights of exile.
His son Li, interpreting for him, explained that those years made him feel he must now work twice as hard, to make up for lost time. Moreover, Li himself was an omen: having just finished his conducting studies in Germany, he was now planning a career back home. He said: "I have returned as have many of my friends, because we all believe in the future of classical music in China."
In the warren of practice-rooms at the conservatoire I met one of the standard-bearers of that future: Jiang Guang, the ebullient young mezzo who two years ago was voted Cardiff Singer of the World. The way things are going, Chinese virtuosi may soon be ousting their Japanese counterparts from the big competitions. But here Chen Zuohuang sounds a warning note: "China is very efficient at producing soloists who are technically good, but it is not yet producing many real masters. For that you need plenty of opportunity to hear and to be heard, to read a lot, and think a lot. The necessary culture takes time to develop."
This question of culture runs deep, as professor Ning Liu of Tsinghua University explained to me. "While we have spent centuries under different forms of feudalism, you Westerners have been taught to regard yourselves - all of you, rich or poor - as emperors. And though that is a political idea, it also holds for music. When we imitate Western musicians in Beethoven and Mozart, we can feel our self-esteem rising." No wonder Mao proscribed such seditious stuff.
One should not underestimate the vertiginousness of this leap across the cultures. One who has managed it is the violinist Xue Wei, who after winning a string of competitions became the youngest-ever violin professor at the Royal Academy of Music. Xue Wei began playing professionally at nine - in Hunan's Peking Opera, but his adolescence exactly mirrors that of his colleagues in Peking, practising in secret, devouring the Romantics like forbidden fruit. Now, however, he regularly plays in China.
He chooses his repertoire with care, having found that his audiences connect most readily with Baroque and Romantic music, but he is struck by their increasing knowledgeability. "Playing in Russia has become a terrible experience, but every time I go back to China I feel energised and full of hope."
And also flattered. He hands me a couple of photographs of himself, looming from hoardings by Chinese motorways: yes, the full pop-star treatment.
As we talk, his father walks in. He is here on holiday from teaching the flute in Hunan. Xue pere seems a genial man, not haunted as my Peking informants were. How, I ask, did he come through the Cultural Revolution so unscathed? He laughs, and his son translates. "`I never make trouble.' No, my father is a careful man. He keeps his mouth shut, and thinks. The older generation all have this habit, because they have seen what happens to those who speak their minds."
But the force is clearly with the younger generation. Those who despair of classical music in the West should turn their gaze to the East, where hope, like the sun, is rising.

I had planned a lot of things, but I don't have the health or energy to work on this solo anymore. Maybe if I get a new team I will continue work, but at this point I am not optimistic..
hmmmm... are you using 7zip to uncompress it?
If not try that, otherwise try redownloading.
I just checked it and it seemed to be fine for me. it unzipped so fast I didn't even see a progress bar!
Glad you are enjoying the mod, I just wish I had the energy to work on it again..
Just to put it out there, doing the ncrons as vehicles sounds like a genius move, if you could do it that they have 'bits' blown off and then 'reformed' when repaired that would look terrifying!
I think I have had this problem with mods before..
I think I had to disable the 'min spec warning' and then it resolved itself.
It's a random glitch that occasionally randonly shows up, bu7t I can't remember which of the random solutions works..
hmmm.. I am not sure what the problem is there.. all I can suggest is a redownload/reinstall..
I am trying to think if I have encountered this kind of problem in the past and what fixed it, but I don't have an answer..
from that angle it kinda looks like the Doom Chicken, a little known mythical monster!
yes this is a problem that seems to be random..
We have found no uniform cause or solution and it does not happen for everyone.
I sometimes experience a crash at start up (Something like 1 in 10 I would say)
I found launching from a shortcut seems to help, and trying to launch it a few times in a row. Then all of a sudden it will be just fine.
Yay :D
Hello, I remember many moons ago there being talk of a 'manual' being released with the mod, did this goal ever get completed, or was it abandoned or still in development?
ah rats, hmmm I must have mis-structured it. Sorry about that.
I am kind of taking a break from modding at the moment, it was just taking too much energy.
Some people do experience crashes for no reason that we could ever fathom, as it doesn't happen for everyone.. it just boggles the mind!
I don't know...
The only other thing I can suggest is maybe redownload in case the download got corrupted first time...
Are you using steam?
In steam the path is doubled up like this:
Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Fallout-TTW
Does that solve the issue? If not PM me.
Hey Tomalok..... It's behind you!
5.52 Patch fixes the Mr House issue I think. I noticed something was wrong and fixed it, whther it fixed all the issues or created new ones I am not sure. let me know if the issue persists after 5.52 patch.
Yeah previous versions..
beyond the sword 3.19
Sorry, unfortunately the mod is not compatible with Mac. This is because it uses a custom .dll and whoever did the porting of Civ to Mac neglected to put in the support for this.
Sorry there is nothing I can do to help. It is a sucky part of CivIV on Mac..
Also you can try switching off xml caching in the same .ini file. If you don't know how to do that you can PM me.
Ok so there may be a pattern to the trait madness. We are currently exploring the possibility that the Traits work on the longer speed settings, but not quick and normal.
We will investigate further and I will see what shakes out!
Ok so it looks like somehow the traits are broken again, despite nothing having been done to them since the last time I witnessed them working correctly... I just don't understand...
That should work...
One thing you could try is making a shortcut to run the mod directly, or try running it using the default setting in the civ4.ini file found somewhere like here:
C:\Users\Me\Documents\My games\beyond the sword\civilizationIV.ini
; Specify a Mod folder (Mods\Mesopotamia), '0' for none
Mod = Fallout-TTW
If that doesn't work, try redownloading, incase you got a corrupt download.
Or try running the mod a few times, every now and then I get the experience where civ or a mod just doesn't load, then I do it again and it is fine.
Link to background graphic glitch.
Just unzip and add to the Fallout-TTW Folder and overwrite as requested.
