As for sewing, not much has gone on there either, although there has been some. I'll get photos tomorrow of the latest Liverpool Tunic, and I am currently working on a dress from the same Liverpool pattern, made from the batik quilt back I got at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Show. For some reason, getting the collar on that dress has been the challenge of my life, even though this is the third time I have sewn up this pattern. I need to move onto to something else and that something else is already picked out: my first Burda pattern.
Meanwhile, my goal of learning to knit has come along nicely. I'm knitting Debbie Bliss' Pleated Wrap in her Spring/Summer 2009 magazine. This is what I have so far:
You can see where my knitting was somewhat tight in the beginning, got considerably looser, but now has settled at the (hopefully) appropriate gauge. (You can also see where my knitting got a bit wrinkled in my knitting bag - it's been awhile since I worked on this as well.) Here is a close up:
I'm pretty pleased with the pleated part. It's an easy pattern Eileen turned me onto, and the yarn is Debbie Bliss as well; a cotton/bamboo blend. It feels fabulous!
This project will provide a lot more practice on knitting, purling, short rows, and endless counting - the wrap is to be nearly six feet long when finished! I've cycled through three sets of needles on this project already: bamboo, aluminum, and now circular. Knitting requires as much stash "stuff" as sewing!
Speaking of knitting, Loy turned Eileen and me onto to a great knitting blog, Mason-Dixon Knitting. Be sure to watch the gas commercial, and then be sure to watch the making of the gas commerical. Really cool!

Researchers have detected a nearly 14-billion-year-old signal that helps to confirm the idea of inflation, which theorizes that the universe quickly expanded right after the Big Bang. Physicists Lawrence Krauss, John Kovac, and Alan Guth—the father of inflation—discuss what this discovery can tell us about the early universe and what it might mean for the future of physics.

HARRISON, N.Y. -- The Platinum Mile has a new tenant.
Toll Brothers officially broke ground Tuesday on Carraway, a 421-unit luxury rental community on the site of two former corporate office buildings at 103-105 Corporate Park Drive.
The new five-story luxury rental will feature a mix of 22 studios, 217 one-bedroom, and 182 two-bedroom residences. The building will have retail on the first floor and in-building parking garage. Leasing and first move-ins are projected for fall 2019 with the project expected to be completed by summer 2020.
"We are excited about the development of Carraway and our arrival into the Westchester County community," said Charles Elliott, managing director of Toll Brothers Apartment Living. "Bringing thoughtful, resident-centric apartment communities continues our legacy of building luxury homes in this market. We are also pleased to reenergize the area by repurposing previous office buildings that had reached the end of their life-cycle."
County Executive Rob Astorino said projects like these prove Westchester is a great place to live, work, go to school and raise a family.

Obama to Dems: Defend my law
President Barack Obama has laid out the blueprint he thinks his party should follow on Obamacare as the midterms approach: "forcefully defend and be proud" of the law — and then move on, hitting Republicans for Washington dysfunction and inaction on the economy.
The question now is whether Democrats will listen.
Story Continued Below
"I don't think we should apologize for it, I don't think we should be defensive about it. I think there is a strong, good, right story to tell," Obama said at a brief White House press conference Thursday afternoon.
( WATCH: Timeline of Obamacare deadlines)
"If Republicans want to spend all their time talking about repealing a law that's working, that's their business. I think what Democrats should do is not be defensive but we need to move on and focus on the things that are really important to the American people right now," Obama said.
The president's advice reflects what his aides have been saying privately for weeks — including in conversations to anxious Democratic campaign officials: They believe voters are ready to move on, and that they can use their economic fairness argument to boost their base's turnout in a way that can counter the Republicans' base appeal on Obamacare repeal.
That gamble, Democrats acknowledge, will very likely decide whether they lose the Senate and fall further behind in the House in November.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama: 8 million enrolled in ACA)
They've been begging the White House — and Obama — to do more publicly in defense of the law, particularly since Obamacare enrollment exceeded expectations and reached the 7 million mark on the March 31 deadline.
Thursday, after announcing that applications still coming in have now put enrollment in insurance exchanges established under the law over 8 million, Obama said he agrees.
Candidates still need to make their own decisions on what works best in their individual district or state, a White House official said after Obama spoke. But if they are inclined to defend the law, they have more ammunition to work with than they did only several weeks ago, the official said.
( Inside POLITICO: How to get an answer from the president)
"The president is absolutely right," DNC communications director Mo Elleithee said. "Despite every piece of data showing that the ACA is helping millions of Americans and surpassing expectations, Republicans are living in an alternate reality. They are obsessed with repeal, despite the fact that Americans overwhelming disagree with them. That's a contrast that every Democrat should feel good about making."
Republicans, though, mocked Obama's calls to move on.
"I'm sure he would like that, given how wildly unpopular it is and how destructive it has been for millions of Americans," said Brendan Buck, spokesperson for House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio). Responding to Obama's line that, "I think we can all agree that it's well past time to move on," the National Republican Congressional Committee tweeted, "No, we can't."
Obama, calling the continuing Republican pressure for repeal "strange" and "curious," spelled out the pivot he believes he and his party should make: "the 50 or so votes Republicans have taken to repeal this law could have been 50 votes to create jobs and investing in things like infrastructure or innovation. Or 50 votes to make it easier for middle-class families to send their kids to college. Or 50 votes to raise the minimum wage, or restore unemployment insurance that they let expire.

Rural Langford Home Destroyed by Fire
ABERDEEN - A man's rural Langford has been destroyed by fire but he escaped without injury.
The Aberdeen News reports that firefighters were called to the home six miles north and two miles west of Langford about 4:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Langford Volunteer Fire Department Chief Terry Larson says Jon Olson was able to escape after a smoke detector woke him.
Firefighters spent more than two hours battling the blaze. The home was lost but firefighters prevented the blaze from spreading.
Larson says the cause of the fire is under investigation but it may be electrical.

One of Rael's other talents and passions, since the age of 9, was car racing. In order to access all the newly released cars, he became a sports-car journalist. He founded his own car racing magazine, Auto Pop, which became number 1 French racing-car magazine and allowed him to race cars that were lent to him. He graduated from the famous Winfield race school in Magny Cours, France, which revealed champions such as Alain Prost. To everyone's surprise, at his first ever race on the Albi track in France he got the pole position amongst very experienced and famous drivers. He soon became known in the pack for his first lap talent, sometimes over-taking as many as 7 cars in the first lap!
On December 13, 1973, his life dramatically changed when he met one of the scientists who created us and was forced to abandon that passion. However, in 1994, some 20 years after his famous encounter, at the request of many Raelians who wanted to see him racing, Rael accepted to take the wheel of a professional sports car once again and participate in internationally renowned competitions. Sponsored in part by the first interpretation center of the UFO phenomena in the world, UFOland, Rael followed his passion while still promoting the messages given to him by our creators.
With co-pilots as varied as Le Mans winner Jean Claude Andruet, Depailler etc... and by racing on the most prestigious tracks around the world like Monza Italy, Spa Belgium, Daytona USA, Montreal Canada, Suzuka Japan and many others, Rael's reputation as an elite pilot is now well established. Obviously, Rael is the fastest spiritual leader in the world!
Today, Rael is retired from professional racing, but still enjoys playing racing simulation games online in his spare time, especially Live for Speed where he races under the nick name of rael01 and is one of the best of the world players.

Bihar, a state in Eastern India has more than 100 million inhabitants and is India's second poorest state. Ninety percent of the population lives in rural areas and the state has lagged behind in increasing access to finance in these areas. The credit-to deposit ratio of Bihar at 37% (an indicator of availability of credit in peri-urban and rural areas) is one of the lowest in India.
Jeevika, a program jointly supported by the World Bank and Government of Bihar, has demonstrated that investments in community institutions can deliver significant results. Investments in community institutions have helped them mature and become an institutional platform for the poor enabling them to demand better services from the public sector, improve access to finance from commercial banks and enhance their existing livelihoods.
It all starts with social mobilization- 850,000 women have become members of self-help groups (SHGs), which have been further federated into higher-level federations. Social mobilization has been accompanied with focused efforts to improve both the demand and supply side of credit. The financial capacity of community institutions has been built by helping them manage their own finances, and by providing financial literacy services and education. In addition, the project staff has worked with communities to build a micro-credit and a livelihoods plan. As these institutions reach a certain level of maturity, a one-time revolving fund is given to finance these activities.
Simultaneously, partnerships with financial institutions are facilitated so that these institutions can improve their responsiveness and provide better quality services to poor households. A number of innovative aspects of the partnership have contributed to the successful improvement in service delivery standards. Foremost among these is the role of Bank Mithra (Friend of the Bank) hired by community organizations. Bank Mithra is a young literate member of one of the households of the self-help groups in the village and is trained by the project. The Bank Mithra, stationed at the bank branch, maintains data of the borrowing households, provides financial counseling services, facilitates transactions, builds relationship with the commercial banks, and monitors repayment rates. She is compensated by the community organizations and is accountable to them. Encouraged by these efforts, more than 14 commercial banks have partnered with the communities to create an eco-system for sustainable financial inclusion.
Eventually, access to credit amongst project participants in six districts has improved significantly. Recently, the project reached a major landmark, and successfully completed banks linkages(access to credit through banks) worth 1 billion Indian Rupees (Rs.) in 1 year (~US$18 million), which is almost double of last year. The communities also have savings worth Rs. 500 million. The communities have revolved savings, credit and funds given by the project for inter-loaning purposes. Since 2007, the total financial turnover of households, which have accessed credit multiple times, has been Rs. 5.25 billion, which is approximately Rs. 13,000 per household. However, commercial bank partnerships are only a small part of the comprehensive financial inclusion package facilitated by the project. Community institutions have also enabled improved access to other financial services offered by the public and private sector in Bihar.
Although, financial inclusion is a necessary condition but it is not enough to improve the livelihoods of the poor households. Various innovative livelihoods interventions have been implemented through the community organizations to improve the well-being of poor households.

With some help from the Federal Reserve, 2013 has been an excellent year for U.S., but some sectors have shined brighter than others.
And while it has been a good year for U.S. equities, the backdrop has been far from sanguine. Tapering and rising interest rates may be a thing of the past, at least for now, but those are just two of the issues have had to contend with this year.
Continue Reading Below
Through it all, health care ETFs, broadly speaking, have proven resilient. "The sector, which represents about 13% of the S&P 1500 Index, has increased 28.3% in 2013 through September 13 versus the 18.8% gain for the S&P 1500 and is the best performing sector year to date," according to a new research note by S&P Capital IQ.
Related: Heaping Praise For Some Health Care ETFs.
S&P Capital IQ notes that there are 10 sub-industries within the health care sector and nine are outpacing the broader market year-to-date. The "laggard" is health care equipment, which is up "just" 17.1 percent this year. As was previously highlighted, health care equipment names could be vulnerable to an oft-overlooked provision in Obamacare that introduced a new tax on medical device makers.
Even with that, the iShares U.S. Medical Devices ETF (NYSE:IHI) is up almost 24 percent this year and touched a new 52-week high Wednesday.
Biotechnology, managed care and pharmaceuticals stocks have soared this year, helping some familiar and overlooked health care ETFs deliver stellar returns.
S&P Capital IQ has an Overweight rating on the Health Care Select Sector SPDR (NYSE:XLV), the largest health care ETF by assets. With a 31.6% year-to-date gain, XLV is the best performer among the nine SPDR ETFs. The $7.6 billion fund's 56 holdings have a weighted average market value of $93.7 billion, indicating a heavy bias toward large-cap, blue-chip names.
That is exactly what investors get with XLV as Dow components Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) and Merck (NYSE:MRK) combine for 29.5 percent of the ETF's weight. Those three stocks also represent the top-three holdings in the Vanguard Health Care (NYSE:VHT), combining for 25.2 percent of that fund' weight.
VHT's 0.14 percent expense ratio is slightly below the 0.18 percent charged by XLV and enough to make the Vanguard offering the cheapest health care ETF on the market. VHT has returned 32.7 percent year-to-date and is also rated Overweight by S&P Capital IQ.
The pharmaceuticals sub-industry "has moved sideways over the past several months, following a sharp rise in the first half of the year that we see correlated to Treasury yields," said S&P Capital IQ. "When Treasury yields were lower at the beginning of the year, we believe income-focused investors were attracted to the 3-4% dividend yields offered by big pharmaceutical firms."
The iShares U.S. Healthcare ETF (NYSE:IYH) also earned an Overweight rating from S&P Capital IQ. Like its rivals, IYH devotes a significant portion of its weight to J&J, Pfizer and Merck. Those stocks combine for 27.5 percent of IYH's weight, but also like its rivals, IYH features several biotech names among its top-10 lineup and that has helped lift the ETF to 32.4 percent gain this year.
Investors looking for some international sector exposure without a significant uptick in volatility may want to consider the iShares Global Healthcare ETF (NYSE:IXJ). That ETF also garnered an Overweight rating from S&P Capital IQ and the research firm previously lauded the ETF for favorable risk characteristics.
J&J is IXJ's largest holding, but with a weight of just 7.8 percent. Novartis (NYSE:NVS), GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:GSK) and Sanofi (NYSE:SNY) are also found among IXJ's top-10 holdings. Foreign pharmaceuticals names offer investors a bit more yield as IXJ has a 30-day SEC yield that is more than 50 basis points higher than IYH, but that added yield does not mean added volatility. IXJ has three-year standard deviation of about 12 percent compared to 12.3 percent for IYH, according to iShares data.

Back from break, Missouri lawmakers to work on spending, taxes, economic incentives
Missouri lawmakers return to the Capitol on Monday with a to-do list that includes the state budget and various legislative priorities such as addressing taxes, economic incentives and pay requirements for wages on public works construction projects.
The Legislature recessed last week for its annual midsession spring break. Lawmakers face a May 17 adjournment and have a May 10 deadline to approve the budget that takes effect in July. House Speaker Tim Jones said his chamber is likely to tackle the roughly $24 billion budget this upcoming week. Six hours have been set aside for debate.
During the second half of the legislative session, Jones said the House also plans action on bills that would limit noneconomic damages in medical malpractice cases after the state Supreme Court struck down an existing cap, replenish an insolvent fund for disabled workers and address Missouri's tax and economic incentives policies. Plus, he expects discussion about evaluating teachers and permitting parents to petition for changes at struggling schools.
"We have a lot to do after the break," said Jones, R-Eureka.
Republicans in the Senate have taken aim at some of those issues already, and President Pro Tem Tom Dempsey said nine priorities have passed.
"Senate Republicans this year wanted to set a path to move major policy initiatives to help get people working in the state of Missouri, to spur employment, to increase personal incomes and to grow our economy in a way where we would be a leader in our region and a leader in the nation," said Dempsey, R-St. Charles.
The Senate has approved legislation that seeks to help the Second Injury Fund by temporarily doubling the fee businesses could be charged and limiting the types of injuries the fund covers. It also would clarify that occupational diseases are covered by the workers' compensation system, which resolves claims through an administrative process instead of civil lawsuits. People suffering from certain diseases caused by exposure to toxins could qualify for an enhanced benefit.
On taxes, senators passed a 1-cent sales tax to boost funding for transportation and a separate measure that would reduce the income tax for individuals and corporations by three-quarters of a percentage point over five years while raising the state sales tax by one-half cent over the same period. The Senate also endorsed a tax credit plan that would authorize incentives for air cargo exports, so-called angel investors in startup technology businesses and computer data centers while reducing tax credits available for developing low-income housing and renovating historic buildings.
House leaders have praised the idea of a smaller income tax in favor of a higher sales tax. They also want to address tax credits but have been skeptical about shrinking the incentives available for low-income housing and renovating historic buildings. Republicans control a veto-proof supermajority in both chambers.
Nixon praised the Senate's tax credit legislation but sent lawmakers a letter objecting to the tax overhaul. The Democratic governor expressed concern about how the sales tax increase would affect seniors, veterans and families.
The Legislature also plans to consider changes to how unions collect and spend dues. The Senate endorsed a requirement that many public employee unions get permission each year to deduct dues and fees from paychecks and to use them for political contributions. House members passed their own bill that would demand all labor unions get annual consent to use fees for campaign contributions.
The House also approved changes to the prevailing wage law setting the floor for what workers must be paid on public construction projects. Dempsey said changing the prevailing wage law is a priority.
Lawmakers also could discuss legislation that would allow Missouri power companies to seek to levy an infrastructure surcharge between their rate cases and a bond package to pay for construction on college campuses, state facilities and other projects.

DuPont Pledges $200,000 to Improve Communications Effectiveness in Agriculture
Challenge Award Supports Innovative Program at the University of Illinois
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., March 31, 2010 – DuPont announced a $200,000 award to a University of Illinois initiative between the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES) and the College of Media designed to address the growing need for effective communications in the fast-changing world of agriculture, food, feed, fiber, bio-energy and rural development.
The award, from DuPont businesses Pioneer Hi-Bred and Crop Protection, will be paid based on the university meeting milestones in its $2 million goal for the effort.
"Agriculture is undergoing incredible change at the same time dynamic new media is redefining the field of communications," said Paul E. Schickler, president – Pioneer Hi-Bred. "Additional focus and understanding at the intersection of those two trends should bring incredible benefits to farmers and consumers and others throughout the value chain."
The university plans to enhance its joint agricultural communications program with a first-of-its kind endowed chair in agricultural communications to support teaching and research in the field. The university plans to have at least three teaching positions and include initiatives in environmental and consumer communications.
"Agricultural production needs to nearly double by 2050," said James C. Collins, president – DuPont Crop Protection. "Science from DuPont is part of the solution. We'll also need collaboration and innovation across sectors to meet the challenge. And effective communications is vital to our ability to do that."
"We are grateful for DuPont's willingness to support this important initiative that will benefit the university's students in agricultural communications for years to come," said Robert Hauser, interim dean of the College of ACES.
Pioneer Hi-Bred is the world's leading source of customized solutions for farmers, livestock producers and grain and oilseed processors. With headquarters in Johnston, Iowa, Pioneer provides access to advanced plant genetics in nearly 70 countries.
DuPont is a science-based products and services company. Founded in 1802, DuPont puts science to work by creating sustainable solutions essential to a better, safer, healthier life for people everywhere. Operating in more than 70 countries, DuPont offers a wide range of innovative products and services for markets including agriculture and food; building and construction; communications; and transportation.

Editor's note: Fareed Zakaria is an author and foreign affairs analyst who hosts "Fareed Zakaria GPS" on CNN U.S. on Sundays at 1 and 5 p.m. ET and CNN International 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. CET / 5 p.m. Abu Dhabi / 9 p.m. HK
New York (CNN) -- A year after leading Wall Street firms teetered on the edge of collapse, they're expected to pay out robust bonuses to employees. But analyst Fareed Zakaria says he thinks there's a better use for a lot of that money: Sock it away in reserve funds as insurance for the next time the investment banks get into trouble.
Zakaria says that notion, proposed by former Reagan administration budget director David Stockman, is better than the special taxes on big bonuses imposed by Britain and France. He believes regulatory reform is needed to stop a cycle of recurring crises on Wall Street that has proven costly to the American taxpayer.
As public outrage grows over word of more big Wall Street bonuses, President Obama is proposing fees on the nation's biggest financial institutions to make up for losses from the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
Zakaria, author and host of CNN's "Fareed Zakaria: GPS" spoke to CNN Wednesday.
CNN: Wall Street investment banks are expected to start paying out big bonuses, after a year in which they relied on government to keep from failing. What do you expect the impact is going to be?
Fareed Zakaria: I think it's going to further create a sense of populist outrage. I'm not one who thinks that just because there's populist outrage, it's always justified. I do think there's a significant reality we have to keep in mind. The banks have been able to make these kinds of profits largely for reasons which have to do with government intervention which saved them in the first place, government intervention which eased up credit conditions, which provided effectively very, very low interest money to them and an implicit guarantee. All of those conditions provided the high profits of this year.
The second question is what should you really do. I don't like the idea of these super-taxes on bonuses that the British and the French are suggesting. I'm taken by one solution, one proposal that David Stockman has, the former budget director for Ronald Reagan, so he's a solid Republican, a solid free marketer.
He says the banks should be forced to sequester a good part of the profits this year that they are planning to give away as bonuses, sequester them onto their balance sheets as reserve capital and keep that reserve capital for several years as a kind of insurance against any further problems, insuring that if there is a further crisis, the banks will have their own capital they can rely on and not have to have a government bailout.
And that strikes me as a very sensible, simple proposal rather than getting into the business of having the government set people's compensation, which I think is a bad idea in a free market system. There has to be some understanding that these are profits created by government guarantees and government intervention rather than created by the normal risk-taking behavior of capitalist firms.
CNN: The banks would argue that they have adjusted their compensation plans for the most part by giving out more of the bonuses in stock and by enabling the firms to claw back the money if problems develop later on with the way the businesses were being run. Do you think those changes are helpful?
Zakaria: There's no question they're helpful. There's no question they're improvements on the old system. I don't know what the ideal compensation system is, and I think it's very difficult to regulate that....in 1993, the government said the bankers are being paid too much money and their interests are not aligned with that of their firms, so they should be paid in the form of stock and options. So there was this huge shift of compensation toward stock and options.
So what happened was you had a big bull run and the stock options took off in value. And the result was that bankers were paid 10 times what they had been paid in the early 1990s. Trying to regulate something like this is like taking a sledge hammer to a very delicate thing. You're better off finding some other approach.
CNN: How important is the financial regulatory package that's now somewhat stalled on Capitol Hill?
Zakaria: It's crucial that we do it. This kind of crisis is likely to recur. If you look at the last 20 years, about every three years we've had some kind of financial crisis.
This is the largest one, but we had the S&L crisis, the Mexico crisis, the Long Term Capital crisis, the Latin American debt crisis -- all of them involving American financial institutions. So they are proving to be highly volatile and have proved to be in need of government intervention with a surprising degree of regularity.... It would be very useful to get some kind of nonpartisan panel or commission to really try to create the best regulatory structure that would maintain the innovative fire of American capitalism but make sure we don't have a system that keeps collapsing the way this one has over the last 25 years.
CNN: There was a story this week that the Federal Reserve Bank had a pretty good year. It earned about $50 billion in profit. If [Fed Chairman] Ben Bernanke were on Wall Street with that kind of bottom line, would he have walked away with tens of millions of dollars in pay?
Zakaria: Oh without any question. And by the way, last year the hedge fund manager who made the largest amount of money by far was actually the Mexican finance minister who had hedged his country's oil resources. In short he had ensured that no matter which way the oil price went, Mexico would reap tens of billions of dollars of benefits. It's important to remember that there are many people who do very well in the markets and don't demand multimillion bonuses.
Bernanke's record on the $52 billion or whatever the Fed has gotten is a sign of something we forget now, that the government intervention in the economy which took place in the last few months of 2008 and the first few months of 2009 has been remarkably effective at forestalling what could have been a serious replay of the 1930s.
CNN: While the financial rescue is generally considered very successful, the same isn't true of the economic recovery in the United States and other parts of the world. Where do you think the world economy is right now?
Zakaria: The economic rescue package has not been as successful because it is much more difficult to simply get an economy growing again. We're talking about a $14 trillion economy in which one very significant fact took place. The consumer stopped spending. That's 70 percent of the economy. And so it's very difficult to just wave a magic wand or spend a little government money to jumpstart that $14 trillion economy.
There's also a broader question of the fact that increasingly the fate of big companies in the American economy is not as closely aligned as it used to be with the fate of the average worker. So you can imagine a recovery in which GDP [Gross Domestic Product] numbers start looking good, companies post very good results, but there isn't a big uptick in employment. That's the kind of economy we've been faced with for the last two or three decades...it's a very difficult, complicated problem.
CNN: What's the solution?
Zakaria: I think this is the $1 trillion question, not just for the U.S. economy, but for western economies in general. What's happening is that the rise of technology, the knowledge economy and globalization are giving those who have capital enormous opportunities to invest, to find areas of growth where labor is cheap or productive.
The one word answer is education. The only way you can create better jobs for people is to have them highly trained, highly skilled. Unfortunately, it's the most difficult to implement, and we've done very poorly at it the last few decades.
CNN: Some people would argue that the pendulum may have swung too far in the direction of free trade and globalization, putting workers at a disadvantage.
Zakaria: I think it's a fair concern, but I don't think the solution is to have less globalization or less trade. First of all, it would be very difficult to do. How do you turn this machine off? Would it really help the American worker if we were to isolate ourselves and not take advantage of opportunities from the growth happening in India or China?
I would think the best thing to do would be to embrace this world with its competition and opportunities, but to prepare for it, to adapt to it, to raise our game, to strengthen our skills, to educate our workers, to engage in more technical training. That's going to be the long-term solution instead of trying to cut ourselves off.
The last five decades, there's a pretty clear lesson, that those countries that isolated themselves from the global economy did very badly for their people, and those that embraced it, participated in it did well. I just think that we need to do a much better job to prepare our people for this new world. Because it's a very different world, and it's moving much faster than anything we've seen before.
CNN: In the next week, we're going to be coming up on the first anniversary of Barack Obama taking office and the start of the federal stimulus plan. Do you think the stimulus plan has been effective, and has it been administered well?
Zakaria: I think history will give Obama very high marks for the stabilization of the American economy. Remember when he came into office, we were facing a financial industry in ruins, a housing industry that was in terrible shape, an auto industry staring at the abyss, and all of these things were dealt with systematically and pretty sensibly and pretty fast. And I think he deserves a lot more credit than he gets for that.
No question we needed a stimulus. Without the stimulus we would have had no growth, no recovery whatsoever.
Was it well conceived or well administered? No, it is very imperfect, messy and political. The Obama administration made a decision it was better to get it done and get it done fast rather than have something perfect, which would get mired and not get off the ground. That was a political judgment that they made.
As somebody looking from the outside, I certainly wish it had been better planned and better administered. This was a great opportunity to spend money on long neglected needs -- from infrastructure to education -- that could trigger genuine reform and growth.

LEED O+M: Existing Buildings v3 - LEED 2009
TAIPEI 101 Tower
Taipei, 110
(Awaiting performance data)
This design ideology helped TAIPEI 101 to decrease potable water usage by at least 30% compared to average building consumption, saving about 28,000,000 liters of potable water annually.
With 101 floors and over 2 million square feet, TAIPEI 101 is one of the tallest buildings in the world. Since its completion in 2004, it has become an icon for Taipei City, Taiwan and has set the quality and performance benchmark for supertall buildings in Asia. Although TAIPEI 101 was designed before the release of LEED and Taiwan's own green building rating system (EEWH), the project team's dedication to quality influenced them to incorporate green features into the design. TFCC chose the globally recognized LEED for Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance certification with the goal of motivating people to think about the interactions between individuals, buildings and the environment.
From 2008 to 2010, TAIPEI 101 invested in significant energy efficiency retrofit projects to generate energy and water savings. A review of public lighting was undertaken and resulted in the conversion to more energy efficient luminaires and lighting controls. By utilizing Energy Management and Control Systems (EMCS), building managers are able to adjust operating temperatures, modify chiller plant operating schedules and modify chilled water distribution according to actual tenant needs. These combined efforts have helped to rank TAIPEI 101 in the top 30% of high-rise office buildings as benchmarked by the U.S. ENERGY STAR database, to reduce energy consumption by 33.41 million kWh per year and to save more than US$2 million per year.
The introduction of low-flow water fixtures together with dedicated water management systems effectively reduced water usage without jeopardizing tenant satisfaction. This design ideology helped TAIPEI 101 to decrease potable water usage by at least 30% compared to average building consumption, saving about 28,000,000 liters of potable water annually.
Low-mercury and no-mercury lamp fixtures were installed throughout the building to reduce exposure levels and potentially toxic pollution. The current baseline permits a maximum of 90 pictograms of mercury per lumen-hour, but TAIPEI 101's engineering team so far excelled in their design that they were able to reduce mercury levels to as low as 58.5 picograms in sourced lamps.
Because of the limited space for landscaping on site, the team felt it was important to implement sustainable landscaping practices in the city in order to achieve the overall sustainability goal of the project. As part of its building management initiatives, it adopted part of the Zhong Qiang Park to restore and protect habitats that allow native flora and fauna to flourish.
