The Aspen Institute Announces the Launch of Aspen Institute Mexico
Aspen Mexico becomes the Institute's first partner in Latin America
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Aspen Institute announced today the launch of operations of the Aspen Institute Mexico as its first partner in Latin America and part of a network of nine international partners in Europe and Asia.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130417/DC96489LOGO)
Through seminars, policy programs, conferences, and leadership development initiatives, the Aspen Institute Mexico will provide the opportunity for leaders from industry, economic and political sectors, civil society, and the cultural world to work on critical current challenges facing society and businesses. Both the Aspen Institute and Aspen Mexico welcome this mutually beneficial partnership and the opportunities it creates for the exchange of ideas and leadership development to build stronger societies, and as Mexico continues to increase its global presence and importance.
"I'm thrilled to have Aspen Mexico join us as the latest of our international partners — and our first outpost in Latin America. The world-class leaders and organizations supporting this nascent group show that it is off to an auspicious start and will provide the platform necessary to galvanize the next generation of leaders as they guide their country and region through political, economic, and social challenges," said Walter Isaacson, president and CEO of the Aspen Institute.
Aspen Mexico will be headed by a board of directors chaired by Juan Ramón de la Fuente, former president of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM) and formerly Mexico's Secretary of Health.
"I welcome the task of producing vibrant forums that will promote deep analysis of the major challenges faced by Mexican society, with the goal of providing viable alternatives and innovative solutions," commented Juan Ramón de la Fuente. "I am confident that Mexico will be better equipped to move forward to build an ever better Mexico through knowledge shared through Aspen's international network and from leaders across Mexico and the world."
The executive director will be Fernando Espinosa de los Reyes, former president of Universidad del Caribe, who will design and supervise the programs and financing sources of the institution.
The Aspen Institute is an educational and policy studies organization based in Washington, DC. Its mission is to foster leadership based on enduring values and to provide a nonpartisan venue for dealing with critical issues. The Institute is based in Washington, DC; Aspen, Colorado; and on the Wye River on Maryland's Eastern Shore. It also has offices in New York City and an international network of partners.

I loved this recipe. I followed earlier advice and put the chicken and squash in at the same time, and just cooked about 50 minutes, uncovered, and everything was very tender, and the gravy thickened perfectly. I also only used chicken breast. This was a perfect winter night meal -- served with crusty bread, salad, and steamed green beans. Terrific.
Chicken Stew with Shallots, Cider, and Butternut Squash
BonnieLou Posted: 12/08/08
heidimotsch Posted: 12/29/08
My husband and I were divided on this one. He loved it, I thought it was ok, but a little weird. When finished it looked like a bowl of something you'd find coming back out if you ate it then got the flu -- so not a dish to impress! Overall, the flavors didn't quite seem to blend harmoniously.
DesireeD Posted: 04/23/09
I thought this recipe was delicious. The only thing I added to give it a little more flavor was some onion salt and onion powder. I will definitely be making this one again!
MsSaya Posted: 02/08/09
This is one of my favorite winter meals. It's time consuming but worth it. Great comfort food. Make sure you don't burn it though. Also, the kind of hard cider you use matters. Once they only had "granny smith" hard cider and it wasn't right.
ChefAmandaLynn Posted: 02/12/11
I agree with other posters, 95 minutes cooking the chicken would have been way too much. I added the squash as soon as I had peeled and chopped it. Loved the flavors and I was surprised my husband soes too. I used sparkling apple cider and skipped the almonds.
TwinkleGardens Posted: 12/26/10
This recipe was fantastic! My boyfriend and I were snowed in and decided to attempt our first stew. I highly recommend this recipe...the only thing we changed was adding quite a bit of cayenne pepper and pairing it with whole wheat bread. Next time we will add steamed green beans for something refreshing. Definitely try this out~
caseym11 Posted: 09/18/11
We never even bothered trying this recipe as intended - with fermented, dry cider. We have just made it, since it was published, with regular apple cider. Delicious. Super thick & flavorful - even my kids (from infancy when they started eating solid foods, mixed with water a bit -- to age 4) have always liked it. We serve it with a salad & a crusty mixed grain baguette. Heaven. One of the only reasons I look forward to fall & plant butternut squash in my garden now. I would be frightened to attempt it with hard cider.
beckyhomecky Posted: 02/04/12
yummy!..had a friend helped me make it which was good bonding time and made it less tedious to cook the chicken for 2x the recipe. also bought fresh, peeled, cubed squash from trader joe's which saved LOTs of time. i plan to make it again today and i think i'll use the sparkling cider i have on hand
carolfitz Posted: 10/15/12
We've made some really good stews from this issue, but never got around to this one til now. Finally bought some hard cider, farmstand squash & made to recipe (with the addition of two thin-sliced garlic cloves). We skinned and boned the chicken so also prepped soup stock for later in the week. The kitchen smelled so great and we had an excellent supper.

We are an alliance of autism organizations across Canada working for change from our Federal Government on behalf of families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders. Please take time to become familiar with our Position Paper.
CASDA is now embarking on an on-line National Needs Assessment Survey, thanks to funding from Public Health Agency Canada (PHAC). This on line survey will canvas the opinions of thousands of Canadians, from all provinces and territories. The data gathered will help support surveillance initiatives and identify existing services and service gaps, as well as provide perspectives based on factors such as regions within Canada, age of the individual with an ASD, family needs and views of the professional community.
Help us reach our goal of 5000 completed surveys. If you are an individual with ASD, a family member, caregiver, educator of someone with ASD, or a professional who works in the ASD Field, this is your chance to contribute to the foundation of a national autism plan.

Microsoft launches 'PlayReady' DRM system
Summary: 3GSM: Digital rights system will let users share content between devices registered to a Domain
Microsoft has launched a new digital rights management system that will allow users to use commercial content on multiple different devices for a single fee.
Microsoft PlayReady was unveiled at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona on Monday. It will allow users to share protected pieces of content between mobile phones, PCs and other devices.
Chadd Knowlton, general manager for content access and protection at Microsoft, explained that PlayReady is based on a system of virtual environments called Domains. Users can register multiple devices within their Domain. If a mobile operator, internet services provider or broadcaster has registered with PlayReady, the user can purchase their content through the system, and then transfer it to other Domain-registered devices. Alternatively, a user could download the content multiple times to each device.
Knowlton said that a user could register their family phones within a Domain, for example. However, it's not clear how many devices can be registered in a single domain.
"PlayReady is not integrated with Windows Mobile 6 [launched this month]," explained Knowlton. "It's platform-agnostic, and you can use it on whatever you want to put it on."
When asked whether this meant that PlayReady could be used on a Symbian phone, a main rival for Windows Mobile, Knowlton replied that it could be used on "whatever a user wanted".
Although digital rights management (DRM) is popular with content creators, it has attracted criticism. Sony was widely attacked after using a rootkit-like application to hide content protection on some music CDs, and earlier this month Apple's Steve Jobs called on the music industry to drop its use of DRM.
Knowlton cautioned that PlayReady was a "foundation technology", which might not be a mainstream feature for some time.
It has already attracted some industry support, with Verizon, Telefonica and O2 all signing up as partners.
Ovum analyst Jonathan Arber said that PlayReady appeared to be an attractive proposition.
"It presents mobile operators and device manufacturers with an end-to-end solution for interoperable mobile content, and promises to be fully compatible with Windows Media DRM 10. For service providers moving into a converged digital world, a single DRM solution is certainly desirable, not least because it meets increasing consumer demand for interoperability," said Arber.

Stolen Debit Card Investigation by KSP
Date of News Release: 02/04/2011
(Murray, Ky.) -- Kentucky State Police in Mayfield need the publics' assistance in identifying a man suspected of using a stolen debit card in Murray, Kentucky. In December, a Marshall County resident reported that his wallet was stolen out of his vehicle. Investigation led to the discovery that a debit card from the wallet was used at the Murray Wal-Mart shortly after the wallet was stolen. The suspect then purchased a Mountain Dew and Pall Mall cigarettes at a Murray BP gas station.
Surveillance photos from Wal-Mart have been obtained of the suspect, but authorities have been unable to identify the man in the photos. Photos also show the suspect leaving Wal-Mart in a white late 80's model Nissan Sentra. It is believed that the suspect may be from Marshall County. Anyone who knows the man shown in the photos, are asked to contact Kentucky State Police in Mayfield at 270-856-3721 or 1-800-222-5555. Callers may remain anonymous.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WTAQ) - Trimming the Green Bay Packers roster down to the requisite 53 wasn't easy. That's the message from GM Ted Thompson, who for the 5th straight season, managed to put the green and gold as the youngest team in the NFL.
Barring any further roster changes before the Packers season-opener Sunday in Philadelphia, the team has an average age of 25.87 years. Last season, the Packers average age to start the year was 25.7.
Thompson's roster contains mostly home-grown players. Currently of the 53 man roster, 36 of them were drafted by the Packers. Out of the remaining 17, 3 are undrafted rookie free agents - cornerback Sam Shields, linebacker Frank Zombo and offensive lineman Nick McDonald.
Thompson has drafted 58 players, and 31 are on the current roster. 4 of his draft picks were among the players let go Saturday: Offensive lineman Breno Giacomini and defensive end Jarius Wynn were waived, while returner Will Blackmon and offensive lineman Allen Barbre received injury settlements and will be waived off of injured reserve when the settlements expire.
Meantime, 5 of the players cut have landed with other teams. Sources tell the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that running back Kregg Lumpkin was claimed off waivers by the Tampa Bay Bucs, linebacker Cyril Obiozor by the Arizona Cardinals, linebacker/tight end Spencer Havner by the Detroit Lions, defensive lineman Anthony Toribio by the Kansas City Chiefs and center Evan Dietrich-Smith by the Seattle Seahawks.
The Packers Monday announced the signings of 8 plays to the practice squad: tackle Chris Campbell, linebacker Robert Francois, tackle Breno Giacomini, quarterback Graham Harrell, running back James Johnson, safety Anthony Levine, linebacker Maurice Simpkins and wide receiver Chastin West.
A 5-foot-11, 207-pound first-year player out of Kansas State, Johnson entered the NFL as a non-drafted free agent in 2008 with the Cincinnati Bengals. He played in four games in '08 for Cincinnati, spent time on the Bengals' practice squad in 2008 and 2009, and was with Cincinnati during the preseason this year. Johnson also was with the Minnesota Vikings this offseason. He will wear No. 39.

Postdoctoral Fellowship
The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research
How will your research ultimately be used to change the lives of people with arthritis?
Neuropsychiatric manifestations of arthritic diseases such as lupus, are increasingly recognized as a major cause of disability in these patients. The pathogenesis of these symptoms is unknown. In the recent years, it has been speculated that autoantibodies that recognize neuronal antigens play a key role. Some of these antibodies have been identified in our laboratory and they have the ability to trigger neuronal excitotoxicity and consequently, neurological disorders in mice. The most critical step involved in the onset of the disease is the breaching of the blood-brain barrier that allows the antibodies to enter the brain. The mechanisms involved in this process have been poorly characterized although a role for cytokines and other innate immune molecules has been proposed. My work proposes to explore such mechanisms, which will result in a better understanding of conditions that might predispose to neuropsychiatric lupus. These observations can be extrapolated to other rheumatic diseases that have neuropsychiatric components.
Do you have a personal connection with arthritis that makes the disease more than a statistic to you?
My interest is as a physician and a researcher who wants to contribute to the understanding and treatment of the disease.
What role do you feel the Arthritis Foundation plays in the progress of arthritis research?
The Institute of Medicine reports that the United States is behind other countries in research into immune system self-recognition, the process involved in autoimmune diseases. Not many actions are being taken to change that. A bill has recently been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce to "increase awareness of and research on autoimmune diseases". However, the fact that the Arthritis Foundation is the only national not-for-profit organization that supports the more than 100 types of arthritis and the largest private, not-for-profit contributor to arthritis research in the world, makes its contribution absolutely critical to increase the amount of resources available for research. Additionally, I think the foundation plays a key role as an advocate to local and national governments on behalf of people with autoimmune diseases.
What mysteries surrounding arthritis interest you most?
I am most interested in understanding how proteins and cells go across vascular barriers and reach the tissues during chronic inflammatory conditions. Because cells moving towards the inflamed tissues can either aid in the healing process or also perpetuate the inflammatory response, understanding how their migration occurs and designing new drugs that regulate this process, is probably one of the areas with the most potential from the therapeutic point of view of autoimmunity.
When you're not in the lab or clinic, where can you most often be found?
Walking in a park, photographing nature.
What hobby do you most enjoy?
Photography and painting.
What non-medical book have you enjoyed lately?
"The History of love" by Nicole Krauss. A fiction novel about a manuscript that survives the Holocaust, and a gift from one of my best friends.
What is your favorite style of music and band or musician?
I like Latin American music, especially Andean folk and tropical rhythms of Central and South America. I am also a big fan of a Canadian/American songwriter, Alanis Morissette, who sings about life and about love.
If you weren't a medical researcher, what would you be doing now?
I would have continued my career as a physician, helping people in my home country Ecuador, who do not have access to medical attention.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
But where's the line between fantasy and science fiction in Azeroth? Is Engineering just another kind of "magic"?
Let's see, we have a race of aliens that crash landed their ship and joined the alliance. We have always had guns. There are shields with rotating parts and obvious mechanical systems. Teleportation systems, and instances floating in space that are just mechanical/magic hybrid technology ships.
This game has always had steampunk as an influence. The gnome mounts are mechanical!
I play to enjoy my paladin flying about on some crazy looking contraption that might fall apart at any minute.
I think there should be 3 different mounts. The generic should be some strange gyrocopter sort of thing. The gnomish should look like their planes in that evil instance. And the goblin version should be effectively a missle with some stirrups, a saddle and a joystick that has an 8-ball on it.
All of them should look dangerous to use and be funny as hell to hear.
I would even use it over a netherdrake...

RIM fires back in smart-phone word war
Steve Jobs' comments Monday are still getting attention as RIM responds with strong words. We pick the winners.
Kicking things off, of course, was Apple (AAPL) chief executive Steve Jobs, who went on a remarkable rant against competitors in his earnings call Monday. He unloaded on Google (GOOG) and Research In Motion (RIMM) in particular, and those companies are responding in kind. Or not so kind.
Winner? Jobs. Although some people might find his venting distasteful, he's on to something. BlackBerries have lost their momentum, and RIM's latest "iPhone killer" -- the BlackBerry Torch -- was simply a catch-up product.
Jobs was wrong to compare two different sales periods -- Apple's quarter ends in September, and RIM's ends in August -- but RIM has clearly lost market share to Apple this year. Apple sold 14.1 million iPhones in the quarter, while RIM shipped 12.1 million BlackBerry devices in its recent quarter.
And Balsillie's comment isn't exactly correct. Customers aren't yet tired of being told what to think by Apple. In fact, many customers happily immerse themselves in Apple's closed ecosystem, preferring the compatibility and ease of use. Now, developers might be another story. But customers are fine, as evidenced by Apple's recent earnings.
Next let's move on to tablets -- specifically, Apple's iPad vs. RIM's 7-inch PlayBook, which is due early next year. "This size isn't sufficient to create great tablet apps, in our opinion," Jobs said in the earnings call (the iPad's screen measures 9.7 inches).
Balsillie wasn't pleased. "For those of us who live outside of Apple's distortion field, we know that 7 (-inch) tablets will actually be a big portion of the market," he said. "We also know that while Apple's attempt to control the ecosystem and maintain a closed platform may be good for Apple, developers want more options."
Winner: Balsillie. RIM must have thoroughly researched the market potential of a 7-inch tablet, so I believe him when he says that size will work. Dell (DELL), Samsung and others are developing 7-inch tablets as well, and there's nothing yet to show that the smaller size limits app quality.
Google chose to play it coy this week after Jobs criticized the various implementations of its Android platform. Google gives Android to phone makers for free, letting them customize the software to their liking. As a result, Android phones are able to differentiate each other.
Jobs implied that the fragmentation causes its own set of problems.
Say what? A Google spokeswoman told the Journal that Rubin sent out the computer command to download the Android source code and start developing.
Winner: A tossup. Google took the high road and didn't stoop to Jobs' level. But its response was bizarre and didn't say much. Jobs gets away with criticizing Google's approach and planting the idea that open isn't always better.
Finally, a developer jumped into the fray. The chief executive of TweetDeck, which people use as a companion to Twitter, responded as well.
Jobs said that TweetDeck "had to contend with more than a hundred different versions of Android software on 244 different handsets." And, adding insult to injury, he mixed up TweetDeck's name and called it "TwitterDeck."
That was enough to elicit a response from TweetDeck founder Iain Dodsworth. "Did we at any point say it was a nightmare developing on Android? Errr nope, no we didn't. It wasn't," Dodsworth said on Twitter.
Winner: Dodsworth. His response made it seem like Jobs was picking on the little guy and making up facts to enforce his case.
Now that all parties have had their say -- and the tech world has talked of nothing else for three days -- here's hoping that the issue will die down. This kind of sniping is better left to the cast of "Jersey Shore."

The Ortho Evra Birth Control Patch is a small skin patch with the same hormones as in many birth control pills. Women can wear this patch on most parts of their skin including on the buttocks, abdomen, upper torso (except for the breasts), or the outer part of the upper arm. Aften it has been placed on the skin, the Ortho Evra birth control patch is worn for one week and then a new one is placed on the same day of the week for three consecutive weeks. Three patcahes are used, each for one week, and the fourth week is a "patch-free week". It is during the patch-free week that many many women have some bleeding similar to a menstrual period.
The patch prevents pregnancy by delivering a continuous amount of two hormones, estrogen and progestin, through the skin and into the blood stream. Tghese hormones are similar to those used in the birth control pill.
When used correctly, the Ortho Evra birth control patch is 99% effective.
There are a few possible side effects of the birth control patch that include:
The following women should not get the birth control patch. Those:
Similar to the pill, the birth control patch does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including HIV (the virus that causes AIDS). The male condom provides the best protection from most STDs.

Things get steamy for Frank
"You better go get ready Kait it starts in like 3 hours" Bob joked. She went over and playfully jumped on his back, wrapping her arms round his neck "Hahaha Bob" she said and stuck her still un-opened can on his cheek, Bob screamed "Okay, okay I surrender Kait, get it off" she was laughing as he was swinging her round trying to get the can off his cheek. "Okay I will get it off if you say im the best girl you ever knew" he looked at her strange, "Just say it" she smirked "Okay, okay, Kait is the best girl I ever knew" She laughed and removed the can, but quickly placed it back on his cheek "Ahh Kait what the fuck" he said, she laughed and said "One more thing" he tried to shake her off but she wouldnt budge "Okay what the hell is it" he said getting a bit annoyed. "Make Frank take me out." The rest of the guys who had been watching and sniggering all turned and looked at Frank.
He looked up, he had been watching the floor as he was slightly jealous Kait was flirting with Bob. "What makes you think I want to" he said, his jealousy showing. Kait jumped down off Bobs back, hugged him and turned to Frank "Fine, your loss" she said as she walked out the room. Frank grabbed her wrist so she turned around. "Yes, I will take you out" she smiled, ran up to him kissed him quickly and ran out "Im off to get ready, see you guys soon." She ran up the stairs and sat, waited and listened to see what they said when they thought she had left.
After Kait had left the kitchen they all stared at Frank. He was standing looking at the doorway, a lop sided grin on his face. "Hey, dude snap out of it" said Ray. Frank stayed in the same position. Gerard took over, he kicked Frank right inbetween his legs (you know where im talking about haha) his head suddenly shot up. Then back down, he thrust his arms between his legs and fell to the ground, "Fucking hell Gee" he lay on the floor till the pain had gone, then he got up "I may need those later" he grinned. Gerard and Mikey glared at him. He held his hands up "Kidding dudes, Chillax" they just shrugged it off. We better go start getting ready now, party starts soon. So they headed upstairs to change.
About half an hour had passed and the guys were now sitting downstairs waiting for Kait, who was still getting ready. "Kait hurry the fuck up you have been ages" shouted Mikey up the stairs. He walked back into the living room and sat down. "Well I had a lot to do" said Kait who had appeared in the doorway.
The guys mouths opened once again as Kait walked in and sat down. She was wearing a short black, strapless dress. Very high heels and her hair was down and straight, resting on her shoulders. "Fuck me" said Frank under his breath, meaning he was amazed at how good she looked. She heard him, "Maybe later Frank" she winked. He blushed and turned away. "Fucking hell Kait any shorter and you might as well wear nothing" said Gerard looking at her outfit. "Oh calm down Gee its a party, you gotta have fun" he shrugged in agreement. "Okay guys lets go" said Ray getting up. They all got up and headed out to the car.
Kait made sure she got to sit next to Frank. She got as close to him as possible. She loved being the dominant flirty one, whereas he was being very shy. When the others werent looking she put her hand very high up on Franks thigh and whispered in his ear "You smell fucking gorgeous." he shuddered as her breath touched his neck, and a friend from down below decided to join them. Frank was mortified. Kait looked down and saw, she giggled and looked at Frank, he blushed "Im so sorry" he whispered. She put her hand over his crotch, "Im not complaining" she breathed and sat back in her chair.
-Franks POV-
Kait walked in and my mouth fell open. She looked so sexy. Short black dress, that was enough for me. We went out the house to get into the car and Kait sat next to me. My heart was beating fast enough already and i thought it was going to come out of my shirt when Kait put her hand on my thigh, very close to my "area" she was whispering to me and then all of a sudden i got RBS (Random Boner Syndrome) I was so fucking embarrased. She didnt seem to mind as she placed her hand actually onto my "area" and leaned back in her chair. I was so fucking horny.

0 Productivity and Green Building – Relational?
The question that CBRE's Director of Sustainability and folks from the Journal of Sustainable Real Estate address in "Green Buildings and Productivity" is relevant to triple bottom line thinkers but hones in on the crux of why traditional bottom line thinkers are still not sold on green. Green Builders continue their inability to convey value through delivered tangible and tractable economic benefits. Why is this?

Location very close to I-75; well appointed room.
We arrived around 7 PM, on a cold evening. Temperature in the room was about 60 degrees, and the room heater took a couple of hours to get the room to a comfortable temperature. No excuse for this - I would have expected hotel staff to recognize that the room was booked, and to have the room properly heated when we arrived. Also - although the hotel looked to have a couple of hundred rooms, it appeared (from cars in the parking lot) that they had less than 10 rooms occupied. We were in a room at the furthest end of a bottom floor, about as far as possible from the lobby and front desk; felt very isolated and a bit spooky. Do not think that we'll return.

(LINDSAY) Bringing together tennis, badminton and table tennis, Pickleball is a sport whose popularity is spreading like wild fire across North America.
Members of the Pickleball Association of Ontario were on hand at the Victoria Park Armoury Friday (Jan. 11) for a demonstration of how to play the game, ahead of the opening of a Pickleball League in Lindsay.
About 60 people came out to learn about the sport, putting the knowledge to use immediately, either in pairs on the court or individually, bouncing the ball off the wall.
The sport is played on a badminton-sized court with a whiffle ball the size of a tennis ball and a solid, smooth-surfaced, short-handled paddle that is bigger than that used in table tennis.
"It's great for seniors, but the kids also really love it," says Russ French, the past director of the Pickleball Association of Ontario and current Canadian ambassador.
Mr. French explains that the sport was invented in 1965 by two politicians in Washington, who had a dog named Pickle that used to retrieve their wild balls. He says the popularity of the sport began to pick up in Canada in the late 1980s when snowbirds began bringing it back to Canada after learning it in the U.S., leading to what Mr. French describes as an explosion of interest in recent years.
There are currently about 30,000 players affiliated with the sport south of the boarder and about 10,000 in Canada, Mr. French says.
"And it's growing every day."
There are now Pickleball clubs in Oshawa and the surrounding area and the Pickleball Association of Ontario was doing a demonstration in Fenelon Falls the week before it visited Lindsay.
"It's everywhere," adds Shelley Cooper of City's parks, recreation and culture department.
Karen White of Lindsay, a recent retiree, already plays badminton at the Armoury, so coming out to try a new sport was a no-brainer.
"I do enjoy keeping active, so I do look for anything new and interesting to try."
And how does she feel about Pickleball?
"It's a great game...I'll definitely come out and play."
"My motto for retirement is: you don't have to be bored. There are things to do if you want to do it," she adds.
The City of Kawartha Lakes will host weekly, pay-as-you-go Pickle Ball games at the Victoria Park Armoury every Wednesday from 10:30 a.m. until noon from Jan. 16 to April 24. It costs $3,15 per person to participate.
For more information, contact Ms Cooper at 705-324-9411 ext. 1335, or to receive schedule updates, email firstname.lastname@example.com. Updated schedules will also be posted at www.city.kawarthalakes.on.ca/recprograms.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, the economy grew at its fastest clip in six years. Not exactly "Happy Days are Here Again," but better than it was. From WaPo:
The U.S. economy roared ahead in the final months of 2009, growing at its fastest rate in six years, as corporate America stopped slashing its inventories and again started to invest for the future.
Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of economic activity, rose at a 5.7 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter, the Commerce Department said Friday. That is the highest pace of growth since 2003, and it constitutes strong proof that the recession reached its end earlier in 2009. It was also a surprisingly positive result, well above the 4.6 percent rate of GDP growth forecasters had expected.
But there remained reason to doubt how strong the economic recovery will be in 2010. The biggest component of the GDP growth was a steep drop in the pace at which businesses were cutting back on their inventories. Firms reduced their inventories by $33.5 billion in the fourth quarter, compared with $139 billion in the third. In the math of GDP, which attempts to capture the value of goods and services produced within U.S. borders, that added 3.4 percentage points to overall growth.
The down side is that inventories are unlikely to provide a similar boost to growth in future quarters. Now that companies are not cutting back on the goods on their warehouses and store shelves in large numbers, the way they were during the depths of the recession, inventories will not add much to growth in the coming quarters unless businesses decide they cut back too far during the downturn and decide to actively rebuild their inventories.
There was also a significant boost to growth from businesses investing again in equipment and software. They cut back dramatically on capital spending during the depths of the recession, and now such spending seems to be clawing back, rising at a 13.3 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter. That contributed 0.8 percentage points to overall growth.
American consumers also continued to increase their spending, at a 2 percent annual rate. Because personal consumption is the largest piece of overall economic activity, that was enough to add 1.4 percentage points to total GDP.

Let's hope the economy is getting back on track. The GDP growth number is impressive.
Re: the stimulus. It's too early to tell if it worked. But, at a cost of $787 billion (or a cost of $2,500 for every single man, woman and child in this country), is it good enough to say the plan "helped". It's irresponsible to spend that kind of money and it only "help".
Also, too many of the stimulus projects have been a complete and utter waste of money. Too many have nothing to do with stimulating anything. In my opinion, that's the real issue.

2:15 pm
If federal spending were not a significant component of GDP calculation, the rise in GDP might be meaningful. As Ms. Tucker suggests in her note @ 1:36, the rise in GDP likely reflects no true recovery, just an increase in federal spending. Two other bits of cold water for those of us grasping for some sign of improvement: (1) the good news of the last two quarter numbers were gravely overstated, ultimately revised downward; (2) the prior quarter numbers may have reflected some optimism that the leftist agenda would abate, and that taxes and regulations would be minimal during 2010 due to the depression, a hope surely dissipated by the state of the union address the other night.

2:28 pm
Now, Cynthia why have you blocked ol\' Wyld Byll from posting. Not very neighborly, I\'d say. One is left to surmise that you believe your arguments and opinions stand best when not challenged by one having meaningful intellect.
That said. Porkulus is to economic activity what candy is to a child\'s energy level. Obama dumped a lot of money into the economy and that money fueled some activity, but it did not build the infrastructure of a recovery. Things will get worse (remember Obama\'s green shoots) before they get better.

I would truly hope that we cannot claim to have stabilized the economy with a true 16% or more unemployment. If we settle for that, then the welfare payments we can look forward to in future will surely put this country on its knees.

Ms. Tucker's enthusiasm and support for this inept president and Congress befuddles me. We are still hemorrhaging jobs; health insurance is still overpriced for most Americans (if they can even buy it given preexisting conditions) and is escalating at twice the core inflation rate; we're 13+ trillion dollars in the red; and the president is spending money on stupid projects, like high-speed choo-choo trains to carry a handful of would-be passengers. Where in the world does Ms. Tucker see progress in our economy? Hello? Anyone home, Ms Tucker?

3:31 pm
Premature to say the economy has turned around…that's just one quarter of a year. If we can sustain the growth and start adding [non-government] jobs instead of losing them, then the answer would be more definitive.
But don't hold your breath. The Democrats are bent on "penalizing" the rich, and as long as you're hanging that threat over their heads, they have no incentive to invest in anything. Any reward so gained would just be taken away from them via punitive taxation.
January 29th, 2010
3:39 pm
Conservative_American — Why are you befuddled by Ms. Tucker's support and enthusiasm for this inept president? She is being perfectly in character and true to her leftist leanings.
I am signing off. The moonbats that love her rantings and cheer for the inept one while he impersonates Captain Smith on the Titanic are not worth my time. Her opinions are designed to inflame the readers of this rag and build web traffic. The loonier the better. I have made the decision not to comment or read her racial diatribes, her kool-aid inspired rants and her poor insight into the world along with her cut and paste columns.
I will instead enjoy looking at Michael Ramirez's editorial cartoons on Investor's Business Daily and read some real thought provoking insight into the economy and politics on that site including the column from the left point of view.
I do wish her well with her adopted daughter and will pray for her to have all of the benefits and opportunities that are available in this – The greatest country on God's green earth.

See that is the problem Cynthia. You know NOTHING about business, much like most of Congress and certainly the current Admin. The GDP went up because we replaced depleted inventories. And we did it with a workforce that was short-shifted and an underutilized employment. The problem is…with all of the unemployed people and the fact that people are till on edge, who is going to BUY this inventory??? Again, look at the ENTIRE situation and think CRITICALLY….We have one piece of good news while we all know that will lead to bad news over the rest of the year as people will not buy anything. I guess that after taking credit for this pc of news(like he did today), he will go ahead and blame Bush again when next quarters' numbers come out, right? Come on now…we all know that if this was Bush in the office, you libs would be screaming right now. Why are we holding this guy to a completely different standard?

All Obozo did was pour some gasoline on ashes and set it afire. Once the gasoline burns off you're still just left with ashes, which sums up how the economy in 2010 will be. The country would already be out of this recession had it not been for the hamfisted, wrongheaded liberal jibberjabber that is holding this country hostage… I didn't know anyone was still reading the Washington Post, Cynthia – do you get it for free or are you they're last paying customer?

The economy is a long ways from getting its' groove thing back, comrade Cynthia. The uptick in the GDP doesn't tell the entire story. In the midst of losing jobs, American worker productivity rose in '09. Additionally, inventories will soon need replenishing. Oddly, the Stock Market is sending a mixed single in as much on average as the market goes in January, so goes the market the rest of the year based on historical data.
As one who generally see the glass half full, I was hoping the good from less American workers producing more with inventories dwindling would in and of itself spur a hiring spree regardless of current politics. Hopefully, this January's down market is one of those few that breaks with the traditional average trend. Members of Congress should work to remove uncertainty to relieve market jitters and put those earned job creation tax credits, investment job creation tax incentives in place quickly. This is one area where the Comrades and the Conservatives alike should be able to find common ground to promote the general welfare of the nation in serving prosperity for all U.S. citizens.

Thats a good thing. But it's a %. We were at rock bottom. Inventory was nill, Christmas was coming. Of course things were going to tick up. Also in Dec another 85,000 Americans lost their jobs. Real unemployment is at 17%. We need JOBS.
