Four lectures on 31 July and 2, 7 and 9 August, hosted by the Department of Sport and Exercise Science.
Physical inactivity is one of the greatest health problems of the 21st century. Although research indicates benefits from exercise in disease prevention and treatment, compliance is poor. These lectures by scientists, an epidemiologist, and physicians will enlighten and engage the issues that confront physical inactivity when "Exercise is Medicine".
Lecture 1, Tuesday 31 July: Take a Walk: Exercise, Aging, and Cognition
Professor Arthur Kramer, University of Illinois
Over the past several decades our society has become increasingly sedentary. Whether this change is due, in part, to the rapid technological development, economic challenges to our society, or a host of other factors, decreases in physical activity have been associated with diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis and a number of different cancers. In my presentation I will cover what we currently know about physical activity and exercise and their influence on healthy minds and brains. I'll briefly cover research which has elucidated the molecular and cellular mechanisms that relate physical activity to brain function and cognition. My main focus will be on human exercise research across the lifespan, covering both epidemiological and intervention studies. Finally, I will conclude with a discussion of our knowledge gaps and how we might fill them with future research.
Professor Art Kramer is Director of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science & Technology and the Swanlund Chair and Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Illinois. He holds appointments in the Department of Psychology, Neuroscience program, and the Beckman Institute. Professor Kramer's research projects include topics in Cognitive Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Aging, and Human Factors.
Lecture 2, Thursday 2 August: Nutrition and Exercise: Protein for Power vs. Carbohydrate for Performance
Professor David Cameron-Smith, Liggins Institute, University of Auckland, and
Dr Nicholas Gant, Department of Sport and Exercise Science, University of Auckland
Exercise is medicine but this "medicine" requires nutrition to make it palatable. "Brain food" can improve physical performance and health through modulation of energy supplies to the brain. Understanding the brain's role in controlling metabolism and its influence on fatigue is one of the big-picture questions in exercise science. Fatigue may also be associated with muscle loss, the processes and pathways of which are linked to cellular mechanisms involving the signalling by amino acids to increase protein synthesis.
Professor David Cameron-Smith is Chair in Nutrition, Liggins Institute at the University of Auckland.
Dr Nicholas Gant is Director of the Exercise Nutrition and Metabolism Laboratory and Academic Director of the Health and Performance Training Centre, University of Auckland Clinics at The University of Auckland.
Lecture 3, Tuesday 7 August: Exercise as Life-long Medicine
Associate Professor Paul Hofman, Liggins Institute and Starship Children's Hospital, University of Auckland and
Professor Elwyn Firth, Department of Sport and Exercise Science, University of Auckland
Physical activity generally has not reached its full potential as a determinant of health and disease. Early-life exercise may prove to be an environmental factor which affects the risks of health and disease in later adult life. Increasing evidence shows that maternal exercise modulates nutritional partitioning, leading to reduced growth and smaller babies. In turn these infants appear to be more resistant to obesity post-natally, and remain leaner than children whose mothers did not exercise. It is proposed that physical movement post-natally changes the offspring's health and disease risks in adulthood by affecting the epigenetic pathways which control gene expression. In these two lectures, examples will illustrate how exercise imposed during pregnancy or early postnatal life can improve health and reduce disease risk through life and across generations.
Associate Professor Paul Hofman is a Paediatric Endocrinologist and clinical researcher working at the Liggins Institute, University of Auckland.
Professor Elwyn Firth is a Professor in the Department of Sport and Exercise Science and a principal investigator in the National Research Centre for Growth and Development at the Liggins Institute, University of Auckland.
Lecture 4, Thursday 9 August: Exercise is Medicine: What is the Evidence Supporting this Initiative?
Professor Steven N. Blair, University of South Carolina
In this lecture I will review the epidemiological and clinical trial evidence supporting the importance of physical activity for preserving health and function in adult women and men. According to the World Health Organization, physical inactivity is the fourth leading cause of deaths in the world, and it deserves greater attention as a public health problem. Integrating physical activity counselling into medical practice is a crucial need.
Professor Steven N. Blair is a Professor in Exercise Science and Epidemiology & Biostatistics in the Arnold School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina.

UNCG falls at home to Western Carolina
GREENSBORO, N.C. – UNCG held the early lead in the first two sets, but Western Carolina rallied to win both en route to defeating the Spartans, 3-0, on Saturday evening in Fleming Gymnasium. The loss snapped UNCG's five-match winning streak.
UNCG fell to an even 9-9 with the loss and 2-1 in the Southern Conference, while the Catamounts improved to 7-12 and 2-2 in the league.
Ariel Newman led the Spartans offensively with eight kills and Karrian Chambers added seven kills of her own. Ari Lysacek nearly had a double-double as she posted 27 assists and nine digs.
The Catamounts were led by Caitlin Piechota who had a match-high nine kills without a single error for a .281 hitting percentage. Brittany Lysik had 24 assists for Western Carolina and Jordan Timmermann added a match-high 15 digs.
UNCG opened the match on a good note as an ace from Newman gave the Spartans an early 8-4 lead. Western Carolina then got its offense clicking to tie the set at 13 before opening up an 18-14 lead. The Spartans cut the deficit down to 18-17 to force a Catamount timeout, but Western Carolina went on a 7-1 run out of the timeout to win the set, 25-18.
The second set started very similar as UNCG took the early 8-3 lead and the Catamounts responded by tying the set at 9-all. Later in the set, the Spartans held a narrow 15-13 lead, but Western Carolina took control and ended the set on a 12-2 run to take a 2-0 lead into intermission.
After falling behind early in the third set, UNCG used a 6-1 run to take an 11-9 lead. The Spartans would stretch their lead out to 17-13 later in the set, but Western Carolina fought back to tie the set at 19. The two sides were still tied at 22 before the Catamounts won the final three points to win the set, 25-22, and the match, 3-0.
The Spartans will return to action on Sunday as they host Appalachian State at 5 p.m. in Fleming Gymnasium.

Here's an interesting, and slightly different, piece of news for this St. Patrick's Day.
Extrabux.com, a price comparison site that also doles out cash to consumers who make purchases from specific retailers, came out today with a list of the best and worst U.S. states for online shoppers. While we've seen similar types of rankings reports in other fields of business, to our knowledge this the first time that anyone's actually undertaken the task of ranking individual states based on their online shopping environments.
The site focused on four specific criteria to determine its rankings—shipping/delivery time, shipping costs, sales tax rates and the likelihood of paying any sales tax at all.
"Two of our most valued commodities in the world today are time and money," reads the report's text on the Extrabux website. "So after analyzing each state's online sales tax incongruities along with the varying shipping times and costs, we've determined the top 5 best and worst places for online shoppers to live–and that we are moving to Delaware."
Yes, that's right. Tiny Delaware earns the top spot among the best U.S. states to live in for online shopping, thanks not only to the absence of a state sales tax but also because of its 2.74 days average shipping time and $4.07 average shipping cost (6th shortest and tied for 3rd lowest in the country, respectively.)
Falling in behind Delaware to round out the top five were Mississippi, New Hampshire, West Virginia and Oregon. The consistent factor among all four contributing to their high rankings was little to no sales tax, as well as proximity to major regional shipping distribution centers in the case of both West Virginia and Oregon.
So which states were on the other end of the spectrum?
Alaska and Hawaii come in at the bottom of the list and while sales taxes are low in both states, the hefty cost of having good shipped to each largely explains why they sit at #49 and #50, respectively. The average order shipped to Hawaii takes nearly 5 days and costs more than $19, which might as well be an overnight shipping charge most other places. Alaskans don't have it much better either.
Rounding out the rest of the bottom five are California (#48, due to high percentage of retailers taxing sales there), New York (#47, thanks to exorbitant taxes across the board) and Washington (#46 because of long shipping times and high shipping costs).
You can read more about the Extrabux report, including a thorough explanation of their criteria, on the company's blog.

Data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics show that the average price per gallon of fuel used by airlines jumped 31% in May over the same month the previous year.
Dow Jones Newswires reports that airlines paid $3.03 per gallon for jet fuel in May, up from $2.32 in May of 2010 and $2.99 the previous month.
Consumption was up as well. The 1.4 billion gallons burned by U.S. airlines in May was up 2% from April.
The prices haven't been that high since 2008, and the wire service says it is prompting some carriers to reduce capacities.

I finally got a job (Yay!!!!!! ) I am going to be J2ME developer in a design and technology company in Berlin
I have signed the contract last Thursday but I still have to wait until I get the work permit. The process for the work permit could take up to 3 weeks
So now we're quite busy finding apartment, getting some administration papers, and travel Berlin-Bremen. Thanks to the Internet, some of the works can be done via e-mail. It's been quite tiring and hectic weeks for me and my wife but we really feel excited. Can't wait to start our new life in Berlin
Next week, we are going to go immigration office in Berlin for the work permit. Wish us luck

Comment posted Argyll First celebrate unanimous decision to return power to full council by Integrity? Not in the CondemAll.
Only at the mincers Alison (I am in trouble for that one!)
Sorry couldn't reply to your reply as it wasn't an option.
Integrity? Not in the CondemAll also commented
- Wouldn't that count out a number of the 16 year olds that the SNP want to give the choice to?
To be fair I rarely, if ever agree with Islay for Ever, but I don't feel resorting to cheap shots about spelling is the way forward. There will surely be enough cheap shots being made by all political parties in the coming months and years to satisfy any desire for them!
- I would like to congratulate Argyll First for doggedly pursuing this despite receiving so little support initially.
In light of Islay's post I would also like to congratulate the A&B SNP group – I had no idea that they had such control over the destiny of the whole of Scotland. It would appear that independence will be won and lost by our local Councillors – who would have thought!

- Conundrums on 'Challenge: see what you make of these VisitScotland statistics'
Do you have a link to it? - Russell to make parliamentary statement on rural schools today
To my knowledge nobody is judging parents for their choices but isn't it wonderful that they still have that choice?ARSN has gone on record many times to say that they are not blanket opposed to school closures, just opposed to closures which do not provide an educational benefit and which are progressed without the interests of the children at their root.
Parents and grand parents will always put what they believe their children's best interests are first (and rightly so) and it was one of many insulting slurs made by ABC during the closures issue that this was not the case.
Luss is a prime example of a school with a small number of pupils in a small number of classes which thrives educationally, and there are no signs that its pupils are suffering form the issues you mention Islay (however that doesn't mean it might not be an issue elsewhere). Didn't stop ABC insinuating that rural schools can produce 'socially dysfunctional' children.
- Russell to make parliamentary statement on rural schools today
My reference to Helensburgh appears to have sparked something it was never meant to spark.It was a source of frustration for ARSN that the argument was constantly put forward that rural schools, and rural children, were somehow overly privileged, yet the lack of other council services in rural areas conveniently ignored.
However none of us would have ever entertained the idea of turning the table and, for example, advocating closing or amalgamating urban schools, even if the proposal could have been put forward using the same flawed arguments as ABC used to close the rural ones.
Tim is right to say that ARSN wasn't political. There were a few blinkered individuals on here who, as soon as an ARSN member supported local schools, instantly assumed we were Mike Russell's sheep however it was normally by people with a limited understanding of the issue at hand.
Anne is right to say that Helensburgh need to join in, and she knows full well that so do Dunoon, Oban, Luss, Barcaldine etc etc – all she was doing was responding to my reference to Helensburgh (which I made purely because it was the urban area I am most associated with). It was not the demonisation of an area but a call for us to cast off these stupid idea that rural and urban areas can't work in co-operation with each other.
- Russell to make parliamentary statement on rural schools today
JohnI certainly hope you are right about urban and rural communities not turning on each other. During the previous schools campaign it was staggering how many Helensburgh people were adamant the schools should close (often without ever having bothered to even read the reports or make any effort to ascertain any facts).
The tired, somewhat idiotic, and entirely incorrect argument about rural children getting a private school education and the even more ridiculous one about rural communities bleeding the urban ones of funds was trotted out time and time again.

OCC Police Academy Graduation Set for December 14
November 16, 2012 OCC Police Academy Graduation Set for December 14 Following seventeen weeks of intensive training, the Oakland Police Academy graduates its 103rd Basic Police Training class of 36 trainees on Friday, December 14. The academy is located on Oakland Community College's Auburn Hills Campus. Commencement ceremonies begin at 2:00 p.m. in the Jones Johnson Theater at OCC's Royal Oak Campus, 739 S. Washington. The principal speaker will be Waterford Police Chief Daniel McCaw. Some students enter the Oakland Police Academy as police officer trainees after they have been accepted for employment by a law enforcement agency. The agency then sponsors the trainee in the academy's basic police training program. In other cases, however, students are accepted directly into the academy, and then find employment after graduation. Of the 36 students in this class one is sponsored by the Wayne State University Police Department, six are sponsored by the Dearborn Police Department, and seven are sponsored by the Oakland County Sheriff's Office. The other graduates are independent students deemed eligible for licensure by the State of Michigan. Two basic police training classes enrolling up to 50 students are held each year. In addition, the academy presents specialized programs in such topics as police interview techniques and police dog training. Approximately 3,000 law enforcement personnel attend the Oakland Police Academy annually. The Auburn Hills Campus of OCC is located at 2900 Featherstone Road in Auburn Hills. For further information about the Oakland Police Academy contact Director of Basic Police Training Richard Tillman at 248.232.4222.

Hang tight!
"Caramel corn gets you started in creating Halloween treat bags with candies, nuts, raisins--choose your favorites!" — Karo®
Watch video tips and tricks
4 quarts popped popcorn
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup Karo® Light or Dark Corn Syrup
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon Spice Islands® Pure Vanilla Extract
Treat bags or bowls
Halloween candies, nuts, dried fruits, etc.
This was a huge hit with the kids at my friend's house this afternoon. This solidifies my reputation as the awesome aunt that gives them candy and tasty treats.
Surprisingly easy, and wonderfully delicious. I used the dark Karo syrup and the taste is outstanding. It's as good as the popcorn I'd pay $30 for the same amount of here in Chicago. I think I only used about 3 quarts of popcorn which left a lot of caramel on each kernel just the way I like it. I popped 1/3 cup of kernels if that helps. I used a disposable roasting pan, and just let the popcorn cool when it was ready; worked like a charm. The add ins are so much fun - it really makes it festive.

What a fun recipe! Me and my little guy really had a blast mixing in all the . Can't forget to mention how absolutely delicious the caramel corn is too!
There's just one word for this popcorn - YUM! I've made this three times within a week and can't get enough of it. I'm sure the phase will pass (or should I say I hope it does) but for now I'm enjoying myself! A lot of people like to use microwave popcorn but I popped my own on the stove and measured it in a wide mouth quart jar. The first time I made it I packed the jars pretty tight and there didn't seem to be enough caramel to cover it all well. My second batch was 4 quarts loosely packed and it was better but not quite covered like I would have liked it. So on my third batch I lightly packed it and used three quarts and I thought it was perfect. During the baking process I stirred it every 15 minutes and baked as directed but it was harder than I would have liked. I only baked the 3rd batch for right around 30 minutes. Using only three quarts of popcorn allowed the caramel to coat every piece. The last batch was my favorite, nicely coated and a didn't seem to be as hard as the other batches - a little easier on my teeth. I used a foil roasting pan and it worked out perfectly - clean up was a breeze so be sure to spray your foil/pan with cooking spray. Be sure when you stir it to keep the popcorn separated as best as you can and as flat as possible in your pan. It will make breaking it apart much easier. When it was done baking I kept stirring and breaking large clumps apart while it was cooling. This recipe is a keeper!
Delicious, and much easier than I thought! My daughter and I added green food coloring to make "zombie boogers." Her favorite part was adding the baking soda ;) Very easy to reduce calories using light butter (or in our case, vegan) and light sugar.
This was super easy to make! My daughter loved it! I followed the directions as written with exception of scaling the recipe down to 2 servings. I would highly recommend this recipe for caramel corn!
Love this recipe! I have never made caramel corn before and I am glad I found this recipe! My family LOVED this. A keeper definitely. I'll make this for every holiday and event I can think of! Awesome!
This was great! My little guy had a blast mixing all of the different candies together w/ the popcorn. This would be very popular at any kind of party, by just adjusting the types of candy that you are using. The caramel corn part took me 2 tries to get right, but that was adjustments that I needed to make according to how my stove/oven works. I will def be keeping this idea in mind for the future! Thanks for sharing. :)

Deploying Flash in the Enterprise
Flash is quickly emerging as the preferred way to overcome the nagging performance limitations of hard disk drives. However, because flash comes at a significant price premium, outright replacement of HDDs with flash only makes sense in situations in which capacity requirements are relatively small and performance requirements are high. Learn how deployment approaches-including hybrid storage arrays, server flash, and all-flash arrays-that combine the performance of flash with the capacity of HDDs can be cost effective for a broad range of performance requirements.

Menendez: Nothing improper in Medicare calls for donor
Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) defended calls he made to top Medicare officials on behalf of a close friend and campaign donor who had overbilled the government by $8.9 million in a discussion with journalists from Hispanic media outlets Thursday.
Menendez has come under fire in recent weeks for his relationship with Dr. Salomon Melgen, a Florida eye doctor and campaign donor. The New Jersey lawmaker is facing a Senate ethics inquiry over two trips he took in 2010 on the doctor's private plane to the Dominican Republic; earlier this year, Menendez acknowledged he had improperly disclosed the trips, and wrote a personal check of $58,500 to reimburse the doctor.
On Wednesday, The Washington Post reported Menendez had twice contacted federal officials over an audit into billing practices at Melgen's Florida eye clinic. The government concluded that Melgen must repay $8.9 million for overbilling eye injections to treat macular degeneration, a ruling he continues to appeal.
He also rejected the notion that he had attempted to influence the agency on behalf of his friend and donor, saying his actions were "much different" than questions about his contact with federal officials had suggested.
Melgen's home and clinic were raided by the FBI earlier this month, although it is not clear why the federal government is investigating him. State records show that Melgen also stands accused of owing millions in back taxes.
But Melgen has become an increasing liability for Menendez, who was recently named the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee and had been a key proponent of the upper chamber's immigration reform package.
The Miami Herald reported that Menendez referenced a contract the government of the Dominican Republic had awarded to a company owned by Melgen during a July hearing of the Foreign Relations Committee.
The conservative website The Daily Caller has also reported that Menendez solicited prostitutes why staying at Melgen's home and using his yacht in the Dominican Republic. A nonpartisan watchdog group also posted an email exchange with a man claiming to have interviewed three prostitutes that testified to having been hired by the lawmaker.
But Univision contacted one of those women, who claimed to have never been a prostitute and said she did not recognize Menendez. And the lawmaker himself has adamantly denied the allegations.
"The smears that right wing blogs have been pushing since the election, that is totally unsubstantiated — it's amazing to me that anonymous, nameless, faceless individuals on a website can drive that kind of story into the mainstream," Menendez told CNN on Monday. "The bottom line is all of those smears are absolutely false."

LA's Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising to Host 'Alice in Wonderland' Exhibition
In celebration of Alice in Wonderland's Blu-ray™ and DVD debut on June 1, 2010, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment (WDSHE), in partnership with Disney Consumer Products (DCP), are unveiling a first-of-its-kind Alice In Wonderland Exhibition in the FIDM Museum & Galleries at FIDM/Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in downtown Los Angeles. The exhibition is free to the public and opens on Thursday, May 27 and will run through September 30, 2010.
Fans of the film and fashion alike will find a new appreciation for the craftsmanship, artistry, and design behind the making of the costumes and merchandise at this particular exhibit that is comprised of three distinct parts: (1) Original costumes from the film designed by two time Academy Award® winning costume designer Colleen Atwood (Best Achievement in Costume Design for Memoirs of a Geisha in 2005 and Best Costume Design for Chicago in 2002), (2) The Edgier Side of Alice inspired clothing and products from DCP and designed by a variety of celebrities, designers and fashion icons (e.g. Sue Wong, Tom Binns, Avril Lavigne, etc.), and (3) Alice inspired gowns created by FIDM designer graduates with FIDM Fashion Mentor and Instructor Nick Verreos.
Colleen Atwood's work portrays a reinvention of the madcap look of "Alice in Wonderland" for the 21st Century. Featured on display will be her original costumes from the film, including Johnny Depp's original Mad Hatter fighter garment, a few of Mia Wasikowska's Alice dresses and Helena Bonham Carter's Red Queen Dress, as well as costume sketches, hats and props from the film.
In addition to the original costumes on display, there will be modern-day "Edgier Side of Alice" inspired clothing, jewelry, accessories and collections designed by fashion icons such as Sue Wong, Tom Binns and Avril Lavigne. This display by Disney Consumer Products illustrates its collaboration with these renowned designers in order to create an interpretive line that brings the allure and mystery of the film and characters to life.
FIDM will also play an active role in the exhibition. In collaboration with Disney's fashion team, the college challenged six Designer grads to partake in a FIDM SuperLab project led by Nick Verreos (Star of "Project Runway", Graduate and Instructor at FIDM/Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising and NIKOLAKI Owner/Designer). Since the ALICE IN WONDERLAND film is all about discovery, FIDM Fashion Designers were challenged to discover their talents in the world of Alice by designing and producing couture gowns inspired by six iconic characters in the film. Garments are couture glamour meets the red carpet – unconventional, unexpected, Alice in "Underland" – where nothing is what it seems! Their creations will be on display for all to see alongside Colleen Atwood and DCP's collections.
Exhibition Gallery Hours & Details:
Admission to the exhibition is free of charge to the public and opens on Thursday, May 27 and runs until September 30, 2010. Gallery is open Tuesday – Saturday from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. FIDM Museum & Galleries Is located at FIDM/Fashion Institute Of Design & Merchandising, 919 S. Grand Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90015. For more information about this exhibition, please visit FIDMmuseum.org or call 213-623-5821.

Celebrated Designer Charlotte Tarantola Announces Line Inspired by 'Alice in Wonderland'
The surreal/fantasy-adventure film directed by Tim Burton, "Alice in Wonderland," comes to DVD and Blu-Ray on June 1, 2010 (U.S. retailers). In the spirit of this fantastic journey, Disney Consumer Products and Charlotte Tarantola have come together to create stunning cardigans worthy of this celebrated Disney line: Charlotte Tarantola for Disney. Well-known in the fashion industry for her trend-right designs that play up coloration and innovative treatments, Tarantola was given access to Tim Burton's artwork for "Alice in Wonderland" to develop a collection that captures the allure and mystery of Alice's surrealistic journey in an apparel line that is decidedly 21st Century.
The collection offers prints, ruffles and sparkles that will make you never want to leave Wonderland. Like Alice peering through the looking glass, you can see flowery friends, tea-time treats, pocket watches, lace and mysterious keys, elements from the film with a balance of artistry and subtlety found only in other Tarantola creations.

"Our collaboration with Charlotte Tarantola brings it all together in a way that is fun and interesting for consumers and Disney fans alike."

Video: 'Creating Wonderland' – A Behind the Scenes Look at 'Alice in Wonderland' Progressions
Earlier this week, Walt Disney Studios released this amazing video that shows a behind the scenes peek at the progressions used to mix live action with computer generated imagery to form some of the incredible sights found in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Much of the live-action is filmed against a greenscreen using a technology called chroma key (most often used in television weather reports) in which everything that is green (such as the background, the frog standees and even some of the people) is removed automatically from the final product, allowing them to mix the images together seamlessly.

Does someone here know why the Swedish economy seems to be so vibrant and healthy these days? And also, why has it been so successful in many ways for the past decade or two? I don't completely understand it. I'm trying to get some basic understanding of what the hell is going on there, especially in these current turbulent times, when the rest of Europe seems to be on the verge of basically burning to the ground.
First, Sweden has (or has had) all the many successful companies we all know about (IKEA, Electrolux, Skype, Clas Ohlson, Spotify, etc.) Even more interestingly, Stockholm seems to be one of the hottest startup cities in Europe these days. Why is this? Is this just a coincidence, or does it have something to do with economic policy, such as lower tax rates? Why do Norway and Finland seem completely dead in comparison? I thought they had basically similar tax rates. |

Hundreds of years of plundering other European countries does result in substantial wealth .
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Sweden This has resulted in the possibility to finance the wealthfare state, so that people do not need to be too concerned to barely survive, but can instead obtain the best educaction and go on to be succesful in their lives. The tax rates are higher than elsewhere, but this isn't relevant to startup success as startups generally burn money first, then they would tend to relocate to more attractive places. What is it that you see in Norway as being "dead" ? They have extremely solid economy with lots of industry, just not in consumer space as Sweden, but more in the heavy industry. As to Finland, it has only existed as a country for 95 years having been a "kommun" of either Sweden or Russia in times before that . Still a bit of a "kommun" actually, as Swedish is an official language. Throw in neutrality during World War II and the monarchy as other positively contributing reasons. Monarchy brings with it a sense of pride and cultural independence that prevents people from supporting the Euro or selling Djurgården to property developers . ~~~PDX~~~ |

It helps that they already had a banking crisis in the 90's and had less inflated financial sector as a result =)

Yeah, we had it tough under the 80s and 90s. We had to force a reformation of our financial system and put down lots of demands on the banking sector or else we would experience the same crisis again. We had also to reform our welfare state to be more rational and efficient then before when the welfare state could literally spend millions on badly constructed programs.
Also we didn't wish to enter the Euro because we knew that as a nation we would not have the same ability to influence the financial and political world because of our size. In short: we would lose some of our international importance. We also knew that some nations might be so corrupt that their membership would hurt the Euro and of course the others would be forced to bail them out. To be honest: this question is hard to answer. The answers I've given so far might not be the main reasons why our economy seems to be so healthy but surely they might be a part of it all. But one of the most important reasons I can think of is education and support to start your own business. Question directed to PDX: why would we want to develop Djurgården? Really. Djurgården houses important Swedish history and it also contains wildlife areas that, far as I know, are protected. Secondly would it add anything to develop Djurgården? Seriously. Added apartments to be rented and/or sold to rich peoples? Because it wouldn't help our students and peoples that just got their first job, often one with low wage. Perhaps it would be more sensible to develop the area of Stockholm that's already developed, like building higher housing estates then ones with only three or four floors. I can report that they're building like hell in Huddinge, the entire central area of Huddinge is being exploited. Look at Kvarnbergsplan how it is being developed and so is the field that is situated close to Ekdalsvägen, or why not the entire area above Lännavägen on the other side of Balingsnäs. This actually adds something of value because even young peoples can afford them, also old and/or sick peoples. just one small profit of being a truck driver: you'll see how Stockholm and all the municipalities develop over time. That and you meet so many interesting peoples to talk to ! ! |

You overlook the fact that a lot Swedes left Sweden because of poverty and hardship...yes that's true! In my own family my Fathers brothers would go to America for work and, thankfully come home with a few bucks(circa 1890-1900?) some others never returned. Sweden was in bad shape then, but nobody remembers the bad times. Wisconsin, Minnesota, The Dakotas and Illinois, are full of Swedes that never made it back. Glad that Sweden is so good today. |

It's true that Nokia is/was (Used to be - To be specific) a big company but don't be a goon and consider it as the main pillar which Finland relies its economy upon. I wonder if you really know anything about Finland (Apart from Nokia), But, Finland has a better life standards than Sweden itself. |

Hundreds of years of plundering other European countries does result in substantial wealth . Not only completely historically inaccurate, but also really truly pathetic. The guilt complex of Western leftists is caused by having it far too good. In answer to the original posters' question, it's a complex one. Here are some thoughts: - All economies that have undergone industrialisation are vastly better off than they were 100 years ago. - Why some are richer than others is down basically to good regulation and a culture of honesty and hard work. - Norway and Finland aren't "completely dead" in comparison. The IMF expects growth for Sweden, Norway and Finland of 0.9%, 1.8% and 0.6% respectively this year, so not much difference. All three are extraordinarily wealthy and successful economies. - Not all of the rest of Europe is "on the verge of basically burning to the ground". Northern Europe is doing rather well; in fact Germany is doing much better than Sweden. - The PIGS are suffering from debt crises caused by the euro. The best solution would be for Germany and other rich northern European countries to exit the euro. Either that or start paying for the south ... no monetary union without fiscal union. One other thing to bear in mind is because we have fiat currencies and the money supply is created by the banks in the form of ever-rising debt, financial crisis is becoming the norm, and just because Sweden is currently escaping the worst consequences, there's no reason to get complacent as a black swan can strike any time. |

I think those northern european countries who are currently weathering the storm better also have a greater percentage of technical industries, the sort of stuff that hasn't been instantly farmed out to the far east. Not to mention the fact the less debt you have at the start of this crisis, the more of a buffer you have.
If like many nations you are at your credit limit for borrowing, then you are stuffed, you can't spend or build you way out it. If Germany didn't have Merkel they might well have jumped ship already, but Germany isn't daft, their biggest export is to European, so if they lend these failing countries E600m, they know it will come straight back to the Germany economy(either through loan interest payments to banks or retail), thus keeping the Germany population in employment. Greece, Spain, Italy can't escape this debt trap, just lending them enough to pay their interest isn't going to create money to pay off the actual loan, or restart industry. The EU and IMF could fund Greece for a decade and it won't be any better off. It needs to escape the Euro, devalue its currency and start again, they are just a big money pit right now. |

Norway is NOTHING if not because of the Oil, so does Finland is Nothing without the Nokia(partly correct) Not really true. Norway, Sweden and Finland all heavily rely on their natural resources, i.e. oil, wood, paper, steel, and the technology and machinery that surrounds those industries. Without those neither of the three countries would be where they are today. |

True, I know Sweden exports some very high tech laser scanning equipment for sawmills, even countries which you would consider to be also high tech like Japan, buy this equipment from here, with a support package too. (great staff perk there!)

Is it that healthy???
Sure, it's far healthier than Southern Europe and the UK for the reasons mentioned...but the cuts in the service and civil sector have been huge the past couple of years - not really the actions of a country whose economy on the up. Majorna, in Gothenburg, budget is being continually slashed, my son's school has lost 2 teachers who aren't being replaced, one of whom was a special support teacher, and his class size has increased by 2. Care assistants for the disabled in the region are being 'let go' as their overall budget is cut and various other outreach support workers are having contracts ended....or in the case of my missus, being expected to work 40 hour weeks when they're being paid for 25 hour semi part-time...! Perhaps if the likes of the H&M founder and TetraPak owner (and many more) paid their taxes to the country that brought up them and their ancestors with the wealth of history and pride it has and gave them their start in life, rather than take advantage of the non-domicile tax advantages in the UK and hoard their fortunes, that they can never hope to spend, in small principalities, these cuts across the board wouldn't have to be so severe and the country could stay one of the world's most successful and pleasant. |

Cuts in civil services is mostly because Swedes are tired of outrageous taxes. Remember that during the last 6 years the government has lowered the income tax from about 32% to 24% on an average salary, along with other tax cuts. Btw, Stefan Persson of H&M paid 850 MSEK in taxes last year. |

One of the reasons Sweden seems to be doing so well is that our nations growth the last 5 years is based almost entirely on private borrowing. Swedes are now the highest indebted population in Europe. So state finance is rather solid where the private debts are disturbingly high.
This has been caused by a deduction of 30% of the interest up to 100000,- i think (yes, in Sweden you get tax relief for indebting yourself!). The banks have been very happy and eager to borrow out money to citizens (Just like USA before Lehman). The banks have borrowed out 100% of the needed ammount for a flat (this has now changed). The low interest has damaged the international economy. I have many friends who are now debtslaves for the rest of their LIFES! Just think of a young couple that borrows 3 million for a flat in Södermalm, each one has to pay say for example 4% interest of 1.5 million a year. Thats 60000 or 5000/ Month only for interest on the loan, lose the job and only get 2.5 million for it when selling after a divorce, and you have another 250000,- in debt per person.. In short, it has been made too easy to place yourself in debt in this country, and when the price of money = interest goes up as it must because there is so little cash and so much debt, lifes will be ruined also in Sweden. |

It depends how you look at it and view economic life. The polarisation of wealth in Sweden has hugely increased in past 15 years, mirroring the rest of the world - I'm not singling out Sweden - if you put several 10s of billion kronor into the pockets of a few individuals, the state as a whole loses out and that's not counting the Swedes/Swedish businesses that relocate elsewhere. The fact is that the Swedish education system, social system and overall wealth of the country accumulated over decades allows certain talented people to focus their skills on high-earning business and they should rightly pay something back. To avoid this is unpatriotic, greedy and selfish |

Golden loves donut bed This is such a well made bed. My Golden just loves it and looks so cute all curled up in it. I bought it in a toile fabric and it looks spectactular. |
Carol from Smithville, MO
Plush and Luxurious Dog Bed!! I ordered x-large in Walnut color. It is a beautiful dark chocolate brown and velvety soft with supportive bolstered sides. It is plenty large for my 75 lb Golden Retriever. He is one spoiled PUP!! Any dog would absolutely love this bed! Excellent quality!! |
Theresa D from Mt. Pleasant, SC
So Adorable! I love this bed! I bought it because it just happened to match my couch and I just couldn't resist (despite the high price tag for a dog bed.) I am very happy that the quality of the bed justifies the price: the fabric is sturdy but soft, the cushion is cushion nice and the donut holds up well to all my pups squirming! |
agata aiello from Hamburg, NJ
Lola loves her new bed. I would have liked it to have a zippered pillow, so it would have been easier to wash. Very prettyand soft Used in living room for napping and bedroom for sleeping. So for quality is great! |
CHARLES from KANSAS CITY, KS
Dog Loves His New Bed Great fit, like the color, seems durable for our 75 pound dog |
Rikki Snyder from New York, NY
Most comfortable Bed I placed this bed beside our sofa hoping that our dog, Ivy, would sometimes use the bed instead of the sofa. Ivy actually prefers this bed to the sofa. She curls up and the sides of the bed hold and cuddle her. |
Erik from Palo Alto, CA
Perfect... Bought the medium first but ended up with a small for a 20lb pug. Very nice bed! |
Melissa from MI
Luxury and Comfort This is by far the best quality dog bed you will find. It is a high quality material and put together very well, Im sure it will last a very long time - even with starting with a puppy. I have found that the smallest size (xsmall) is much smaller than the small and I wasnt very happy with that - the bolster is not nearly as plush. But my dog has many and the small size and up are just perfect! |
carolyn from Gig Harbor, WA
Dogs love it! This is the second Bowsers Donut Dog Bed I have purchased. This one has a fabric cover that is slightly less soft than my first...for my standard poodle. But this one is for my Bouvier and he finds it perfect for him. The shape is good for curling up in a ball or lounging out with the rim supporting the head. And it does support the head....we often call our Bouv big head and his head is comfortably supported. If I had another dog, Id get one for himher too. |
Tommy from Lebanon, TN
Great little bed. My dachshund Heidi Loves donut beds. This one is her favorite of three she has. My wife and I like it because it is durable and easy to to keep clean. We have washed the removable zip-of cover twice and it still looks great. Also the color and pattern blends well with almost any decore. Be sure to take notice of the inside dimensions and order the right size for you best friend. I would definitely recommend it. |

British inflation rises unexpectedly
British inflation rose unexpectedly in July as prices for airfares soared and clothing retailers reined in seasonal discounts, data showed today, raising doubts how quickly inflation will fall this year.
Last week, the Bank of England has slashed its inflation forecast, seeing inflation nearly back at its 2 per cent target by the end of this year.
The central bank is also hoping that lower inflation will ease the squeeze on Britons' real incomes, allowing consumers to spend more and support the recession-hit economy.
Consumer price inflation inched up to 2.6 per cent from 2.4 per cent in June, the British Office for National Statistics said, confounding economists' forecasts for a fall and posting the first rise since March.
The ONS said that airfares jumped 21.7 per cent on the month, the largest rise from June to July since 2004.
The monthly fall in clothing and footwear prices was the smallest June to July drop since records started in 1996 as retailers had started seasonal discounts in June due to unusually wet weather.
A fall in inflation is seen as a crucial ingredient for a recovery from the recession the economy tipped into around the turn of the year.
Inflation has fallen sharply from the three-year peak of 5.2 per cent hit in September 2011, and June's fall had been much sharper than expected, driven in part by the early summer sales.
The statistics office said the fall in clothes prices between May and July was overall similar to previous years.
The central bank predicts a further fall to around 1.7 per cent in two years time, indicating that it had room to add more stimulus once the current programme to buy £50 billion of government bonds ends in November.
Factory gate inflation has slowed the lowest pace in nearly three years in July and business surveys have also shown easing price pressures.
However, core consumer price inflation, which strips out volatile components such as food and fuel, also rose to 2.3 per cent from 2.1 per cent, casting further doubt on whether inflation will fall much further.
In a separate release the ONS said house prices in Britain rose by 2.3 per cent on the year in June, the same as in May, driven by a 6.5 per cent annual house price increase in London.
