Nurkse and the Role of Finance in Development Economics
AbstractRagnar Nurkse was one the pioneers in development economics. This paper celebrates the hundredth anniversary of his birth with a critical retrospective of his overall contribution to the field, in particular his views on the importance of employment policy in mobilizing domestic resources and the difficulties surrounding the use of external resources to finance development. It also demonstrates the affinity between Nurkse's theory of mobilizing domestic resources and employer-of-last-resort proposals.

Hamish Blake has married his fiance Zoe Foster in a sneaky wedding this week...
"If you heard a "whoop for joy" on Tuesday, it was me; I married my girl! I'm the happiest guy. She seems happy too (phew). H #honeymooning," he Tweeted.
Zoe also Tweeted about the happy news, "I didn't know heartpounding, feet-off-the-ground joy til I snuck off on Tuesday to marry my beautiful Hame... And now, viva la funnymoon!"
Congrats guys!! VERY sneaky.
Have you ever done anything really sneaky or even a bit cheeky?
Whispers are that our once Kidspot resident FatMumSlim even made their wedding cake!! How cool is that!
Natalie Portman's secret wedding
Jack Osbourne ties the knot
Nikki Webster ties the knot
@ Voluptacon I want to see that cake as well!
OMG racharis I did the same thing. I knew at a staff Xmas party if I didn't drink they would all know 'cause I ALWAYS drank! So I took the green breezers and filled them with Mountian Dew which look very similiar. Trouble was I always offered peolpe drinks so I had to take a few fake ones for me and a few normal ones.
I put them on different sides of the cooler bag and all was good.....unitl I offered one to a mate which she accepted and then when I went to my cooler bag I had put it on the ground and couldn't remember which side was which.
I had to crack one sneakly and take a sip but if it was full strength I thought she might think I was weird swigging her drink first.
I did manage to fool the all and made 3 months without them knowing.
That is classic racharls!
Hehe...my husband and I did something a bit cheeky after we found out I was pregnant...we knew that if our friends saw that we were no longer drinking (he decided to stop with me) they would know straight away. So we poured flat lemonade into an empty vodka bottle and carted it around with us to parties and what not. We even had some of our friends pour us a drink and asked them 'don't make it too strong!'. They had no idea and still tell us off for being so sneaky! :)
I want to see the cake! :P
Congrats to them both! Love Hamish and Andy.

Note that this is a registered bugid with Sun (1222940) but
it is marked closed with no patch. Why? Because Sun's
solution for SunOS 4.1.x is to remove permissions from
/dev/openprom for unprivileged users, without actually fixing
the problem. No comment on this approach to "security"...
1) 1.x is dead. They'd be shooting themselves in the foot to fix this
kind of problem in 1.x.
2) The problem is infinitesimal in 2.x. (see #5, below)
3) If you chmod the file under 1.x, treat as #2, above.
4) One might argue that they should issue a patch for 1.x, consisting of
nothing more than a README that says "chmod 640 /dev/openprom". I don't
see this as being of huge benefit, however. With this one, if you know
the bug exists, you know how to make it a non-issue also.
5) It makes vastly more sense for sun (or or any other OS development
team) to spend time on new features, instead of fixing "problems" where
priviledged users "can" crash their own machines (/oh boy! I get to
crash a machine I'm responsible for!/). Consider:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s1.
This is a generally bad thing to do, but I sure don't want _any_ vendor to
waste time disallowing dd'ing to certain partitions. (If someone tries out
that dd command, I'm not responsible for the results.)
It's helpful to fish around for bugs, no matter what their significance, but
it is more helpful if one also maintains a sense of where these bugs
fit into the overall picture, which is: setting up operating systems that
allow users to get things done. This should include minimizing
boobytraps waiting for sysadmins, which result in downtime for users -
but even that doesn't really apply in this case.
BTW, I just added a "chmod 640 /dev/openprom" to our SunOS 4.1.x
autoinstall environment. Any new 4.1.4 boxes we set up (very few), will
have this fixed automatically.

We understand the business of everyone's lives, so we have picked out specific ways for those with little time to help.

Beautification Ministry
Maintain flowerbeds and church grounds as little or as much as you can help. There's always a project needing to be completed!

When President Barack Obama stepped down from Air Force One onto the tarmac Saturday, he made a personal gesture few people could see.
He gave the 185th Vice-Wing Commander, Mark Foreman, a coin. The coin is one of the highest accolades a member in the service can receive. It's called a Challenge coin. It's traditionally given out to recognize special achievements by unit commanders.
Vice-Wing Commander Mark Foreman says he collects coins, but he never imagined he would get this honor from the Commander in Chief.
"I'm actually retiring officially today, and he made a point of coming to the bottom of the stairwell and thanking me for close to roughly 35 years of service," said Mark Foreman 185th Vice Wing Commander of the Air Fueling Wing.
Foreman grew up in Sioux City. He spent most of his career based at the Sioux City Air National Guard Base.
During his service he was deployed multiple times overseas, including parts of the Middle East.

Our friends at Arkitip have an interesting little place in LA called Project Space, which they run with Incase. It's an experimental platform for exhibitions and performances, and they keep a specially curated stream of products on rotation. Project Space "stays true to Arkitip's founding principles: supporting the arts, promoting freedom of expression and making art affordable and accessible." So, we're excited that our exclusive Havaianas, Coto ties, and Surface To Air tie clips are available for a little while at their shop.
Project Space 603 North La Brea Avenue Los Angeles CA +1 323 938 8818 Telephone
Flip-flop weather comes early in Palm Springs. Ace has collaborated with Havaianas to launch a limited edition sandal for the summer, in the original colorway from 1962. The story goes that the sandals were originally black on top with a white sole. But the cool kids in Rio were flipping the sandals upside down to put their twist on it. Ace Havaianas are a homage to putting a twist on classics. They're exclusive to Ace, and Palm Springs is the only place you can get a pair on the West Coast, and one of only two in the US — the other is Opening Ceremony at Ace New York. The Palm Springs sandals bear a pin modeled after Ace Palm Springs' signature coyote in pearls, which lives in a diorama in the lobby.
Alex Calderwood, Ace founder, says "Havaianas embodies the idea of an instant classic. It's a product that is straight forward, comfortable, has stood the test of time, and has just as much relevance today as it did in Brazil back in 1962. We can only hope that Ace Hotel will have such staying power." You can buy a pair straight from the minibar before heading out to the pool for the day. Or call the hotel if you'd like to get a pair sent to you.
We're running a quick-quick deal through the end of April if you want to just go pick up a pair on your own. $79 tonight and tomorrow, $89 Friday. Call to book.

KLM Reviews
"Worst European Ailine and Schiphol airport"
I had a problem with KLM than eventually can be easly overcome by common sense, something that in Amsterdam KLM, does not seem to produce.
I'm a long term custmer of KLM, I'm not a frequent flyer but I'm one of the client that used to feed the company coffer at least once a year with a transcontinental flight.
I was travelling from Jakarta to Geneva, when a snow storm hit the Swiss city, as the local airport management is using company like ISS, a cleaning and security that pay staff the lowest salary ever in the industry. Also employ company to clean the runway, but they do not work at night because it cost too much.
Result my flight was cancelled and KLM refuse to give a seat on the next flight, the one used to carry business people from London to Geneva, the money people. So, were there a seat available? There are always three seats free, plus eventually the business upgrade.
Worst, they treat me as a hassle and not as client, I'm been polite saying I was travelling for 14 hours, from my hotel in Jakarta, they did not care at all.
The case is closed, I will never ever use a company that treat customer like that, rude and careless to say the least.
My girlfriend just Yesterday, the 16 of April 2014, had a ticket issue in Geneva, the travel agency did not inform her that Indonesia require a 6 month valid passport, but her was valid 5 month and 10 days!
At the airport of Geneva, one of the worst in Europe, the world second headquarter of IATA (Air transport associacion), the staff of KLM, allow her to board to Amsterdam, despite the fact that she had clearly a transcontinental flight to board, they did not check the validity of the passport (CARELESS, LAZY AND INCOMPENT STAFF) she reach the gate in Amterdam and a histeric girl refuse her to board to Jakarta. No written explaination given, no excuses, no other reasonable solution.
At that point the ticket (not refundable) was lost, reaching Indonesia, where they care less of validity, a fine can overcome the administrative problem. Or flight back to Amsterdam, and anyway, loose the ticket.
Common sense is not a gift in AMSTERDAM SCHIPOL and for sure not of KLM.
3th case a friend of mine, a doctor from Indonesia has gone trought an umiliating questioning by the police in SCHIPOL because his research visa was not matching his appearance, this is even more disturbing, a scientist must "LOOK" like what? You tell me.
My final judgement, is that what ever reason they might have in Amsterdam they are rude, lazy, cinic, histerical and under trained, really AVOID AMSTERDAM SCHIPOL.
"Flight attendants' biasness to their own nationality"
Had to ask 3 TIMES to finally get a glass of water. From different flight attendants too! No smile nor warmth coming from the air stewardess. Obvious discrimination towards me seeing that I'm asian. WTF. Other times she is busy talking cheerily to another european family who are sitting right in front of us. Never again flying with K FUCKING LM. fucking female dogs.
"Call yourself royal airline?"
Absolutley discusting klm should be ashamed of themselves first time me and my husband flew with klm! Checked in at kuwait and were told we couldn't possibly sit together even though we had booked 8 months in advance wouldnt a woman and a man booking together would suggest we would like to sit next to one another silly me! As soon as we boarded the plane the faces of the flight attendants left something to be desired! A smile perhaps? In the frount pocket of my husbands seat was a half eaten sandwich and a dirty tissue and in mine a slice of cheese i got my phone to take a picture! Our connecting flight was in Amsterdam so we waited near to the gate and had a drink and a pastry we only had an hours wait as we ventured towards the gate security was super busy when we arrived at the gate on time as the boarding pass stated we were told our flight was already leaving wtf! And it had boarded early we didnt no what to say and were pushed along to the transfer desk no time to plowed out case we has to dish out 48 euros each on top of the 500 Gbp we had already shelled out per person what a great start to our HONEYMOON we were then assured that our luggage would arrive in Manchester on the flight we had just transferred onto.
When we arrived in Manchester guess what! No luggage! And were told that if it did arrive that evening they would courier it to our home in wales! When we arrived home we called the airport to check nobody knew anything and had not even bothered to contact Amsterdam! Atleast 5 hours passed i was panicking as we were flying out the following evening to Singapore i need clean clothes! Another 2 hour phone all later a very rude young man informed us our luggage could possibly be in its way to New York and could offer us 200 euros and when the luggage was retained would send it to Singapore! Refused to let me speak to higher management i will not tell u the words that were exchanged between my husband and the rude young man! Finally the next evening after shopping all day just to have some fresh clean clothes on a phone call was made to check on the luggage "oh yes mrs bakkar your luggage was found yesterday afternoon we forgot to call you our mistake can you collect it from the airport?" My reply you get someone i dont care who it is if my luggage is not here in 1 hour all hell is going to break loose! Finally got our luggage back!
After a fantastic honeymoon to Singapore and Bali on Singapore airlines we returned home for a few days then the dreaded time came back to kuwait where we work on klm! Check in awful miserable faces yet again reached Amsterdam for connecting flight where you have to print your own boarding pass on a blue machine well the bloody blue machines wernt working with one very aggressive klm staff screaming at costumes use the blue machines its not hard! I felt like screaming back at him their not working u thick shit but why should i lower myself! There were 5 women sat at the desk gossiping obviously to idle to do their job. Finally it was our turn to collect our boarding passes where she proceed to tell us our flight ws leaving in 10 minutes another lady at the side of me asked one of the staff please can you help me with the machine. It won't print my ticket the woman behind the seat brashly told her its not my job and turned away! Customer service is not in their job description lets just say the flight back to kuwait was a long and painful one! My husband ordered 3 vodka with tonic and then was refused anymore alcohol because the flight attendant told him that he was only allowed 3! Klm is the worst most discusting unfriendly unfair airline i have ever come across i will u form everyone i know and will not stop with the complaints ! Not to mention when we received the luggage in kuwait guess what DAMAGED!!!!!!!!
"Traveling with Baby"
Some how was my first time Travel on the plane and found so much fun.
i got very good friend with the plane atendent they were so nice with Son Myles Luttaya. let me say services happy people they made my life feel happy and change.. i and my family we love KLM airline we Appreciated all the work you
"Terrible Apathetic Onerous Customer Service"
My case follows, but up front, KLM is extremely difficult to write to for customer service. You can tell they don't really care because if you do find the area on their web site their policy is to reply with a "no reply e-mail" and give you NO WAY back to your original complaint on line. You have to go through the whole process of find the place to submit and then re-submit it completely again. They are big on template answers and "we're sorry you feel that way," all without concrete support. As another reviewer stated, "How do they get away with such poor customer service?" Particularly with a proven loyal customer?
I've been an Elite Platinum Member of KLM, Flying Blue, by my records for 9 years, this was reflected on the KLM web site. I was looking forward to making their "lifetime" Platinum member status at 10 years when they changed my web page to reflect 8 years?? I was already bragging on the how this policy was a good way to reward me and this was THE YEAR, when it occurred. Putting me in an embarrassing place with family, friends and business associates. ALL attempts to get an answer came through the same process listed above. First a template, "we're sorry to hear….." with an explanation of why their right. Second attempt and all future attempts never dealt with their on line error. THEN after month, a second phone call, an hour to tell me they are right and I needed a screen shot, "proof," of what I said to them. 22 e-mails to finally call me a liar and tell me to prove their error. Then on my next attempt the comments, "we've communicated with you and explained the situation." Basically, f..k off. Years and years as a loyal platinum level member to be treated like this !!!! You figure if you want to deal with KLM. !
"The worst ever experience and customer care in 20 years of frequent flying"
At the end of a terrible flight (late, with very bad "positive" landing and after a useless debate to avoid leaving my fully compliant hand luggage for check-in), my brand new laptop has been destroyed by having been made falling very badly by the flight attendant.
I have raised a complain via their Customer Care web-page (I wonder how they dare using the word "Care" close to "Customer"), result: LOST TIME!
The Customer Care Coordinator (Mr. *****) refused twice to find a win-win remedy and hid behind the contractual accountability for any cabin luggage (even when damaged directly and exclusively by KLM personnel).
Not only me and my family will never ever fly KLM for all our life, but I have committed to spread the bad publicity to all my colleagues & friends and beyond.
"Customer Service"
I traveled with KLM in September 2010 and flight was cancelled due to the pilot was under the influence of alcohol. we were put up in a hotel overnight and given a flight the following morning. My trip was to visit my Daughter in America as she was due to go into hospital and I wanted to e there for her as my flight was cancelled and had to travel the following day I missed her appointment with the hospital> I have tried to claim compensation due to a flight delayed over 24 hours KLM keep ignoring my request and have said they can not pay me compensation due to the fact that it has took me 2 years to claim and time has ran out this is a lie I have been writing to them since 2010 and also CAA who said yes I was entitled to the compensation however KLM still will not pay out and have closed my case. I have traveled with many airlines and have to say that this airline has the worst customer service I have ever come across also it is impossible to speak with anyone it has all to be done by email!! surely there is a number you can contact someone? would love the directors email address???
"NO customer service"
Simply put --- the very worst customer service of any airline. I made almost 200 international trip on many airlines. KLM was an absolutely horrible experience. Never again.
Rude check-in staff. Awful customer services. Avoid KLM at all costs.
"Flying blue rip-offs"
The Skyteam arrangement seems to allow theft of accumulated airmiles - first by inserting an expiry date then by not honoring miles. I had 250,000 miles - last flight not recorded and they deletd all. customer services are truly awful robots who conspire in this. Never again

Success Stories
Rebecca had been working in design and drafting for more than 15 years, when she faced lay-off and unemployment. Her job search effort was challenging considering the economic times and her knowledge of current AutoCad programs. She was led to WIA during this timeframe due to the fact that she needed some updated training. Rebecca met with a JJC Advisor and created an academic plan to complete coursework necessary to meet industry/employer expectations in today's job market. After being laid off for 1½ years and gaining the training necessary, Rebecca recently accepted a full-time position. Rebecca commented "going to school and showing that on a resume, I believe, is a great help in locating a job." Rebecca had identified a need to enhance her knowledge of AutoCad to be viable in the workplace. She made the decision to return to the classroom in order to reach her career goals.
When asked about the WIA program and referring others to Grundy Workforce, Rebecca says "Absolutely! There are various workshops that are offered. The staff keeps in regular contact with telephone calls and email. It's a wonderful opportunity."- Rebecca Tollefsen, Grundy WIA grant recipient
Dean Wakefield sought out WIA training in 2011, a couple of years after he was laid-off from the Alcoa plant due to a shutdown. His decision to seek out WIA training was due in part to the limited number of jobs available in the local area. Dean initially wasn't quite sure what goals to set for future training and employment.
After some analysis of his past work experiences in food service and industrial manufacturing, Dean decided that increasing his skills in the industrial industry would be most beneficial. He selected the Forklift Certification program at Joliet Junior College, anticipating that the combination of his past experience and this new certification would increase his chances of finding work.
When reflecting on the WIA program support and training completion, Dean feels "the biggest impact I had from the WIA training was the feeling that I wasn't alone in searching for work". Dean feels that the program pointed him in the right direction and showed him options he didn't realize were available. He also feels that the training he had through the WIA program allowed him to be looked at on a higher level professionally then someone who didn't have the same type of training. Dean stated "With the employment level the way it is currently just getting your foot in the door somewhere can make all the difference." He added "I would encourage anybody looking for work direction to consider the WIA program; you really have nothing to lose. As soon as I started the WIA process, the hopelessness I felt in my past job search efforts started to fade and I kept asking myself why I didn't start this sooner?"- Dean Wakefield, Grundy WIA grant recipient
Kim Herda has worked in office settings for the past 30 years - majority in medical office settings. When faced with dislocation and the closing of her office, she was faced with looking for new employment. While she had experience with a variety of computer programs and office machines, she realized that present day employers are looking for the crème of the crop, wanting people with college degrees. After futile attempts at gaining a new position, she started exploring her options on returning to school to complete a college degree. Kim found out about WIA and visited the Grundy Workforce Services office to seek support to return to school. Kim says "without WIA I would not have been able to return to school." At this point in the WIA program Kim feels that it has been a positive experience. "I would never have been able to financially afford returning to school since I was not working. My workforce coordinator is extremely supportive and has been very helpful with everything every step of the way." Kim is working on her Associates Degree for Administrative Assistant at Joliet Junior College. She also continued her job search and gained employment within the healthcare industry once again. "At this point in time I am still working on completing my degree, but at my coordinator's suggestions the first few classes I completed were computer classes. These classes make me more marketable in the workforce and they have already paid off. I have been able to help co-workers and have more confidence when I'm using newer versions of programs that I have used for years. No more fumbling around looking for the menu items."
When asked "If your WIA experience/support has been positive thus far, would you encourage other residents to consider this type of program?" Kim's response is, "I would highly recommend anyone who qualifies for this program to do it. You are only improving yourself. There are times when it's been a struggle between family, work, and school, but I it is totally worth it and in the long run my family will reap the benefits."- Kim Herda, Grundy WIA grant recipient
"I have worked ever since I was able to drive. My first job was working at a hardware store while I was in High School. I learned from my parents the values of punctuality and working as smart as I could until the completion of the task would only benefit from hard work. This combination of problem solving and a strong work ethic has assisted me throughout all of the jobs I have had during my working life. After High School I worked construction in the summer driving off road dump trucks to pay for my college. I was working on completing my general education courses with the hope of being accepted into a Physical Therapy program. Unfortunately, this goal was never met. As we all know, life changes and we have to do what is necessary to survive. I worked hard operating heavy equipment for the next decade until another change occurred. As the economy slowed the career that I had worked so hard to keep had vanished. I could not wait for the construction industry to recover from this economic crisis."
My only option was to retrain for a different career. I had to find a way to return to school. I heard about the WIA program from a friend, and after a few meetings and tests, I found that I would be eligible to use this excellent resource to retrain for a new career. The WIA program offered training for many different career choices. In the strangest of chances I was able to return to what I had started so long ago. The WIA program afforded me the opportunity to finish my remaining general education classes. Upon completion of these classes, I applied and was accepted into the Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program at Kankakee Community College.
Through the WIA program I have been given a second chance in life to go back and finish what I had started. Upon completing the PTA program, I will have an Associate's Degree in Applied Science. I will be licensed to practice Physical Therapy by the state of Illinois under the supervision of a Physical Therapist. Currently I am in my second semester of the PTA program and looking forward to my first summer clinical. I have just slightly over a year left in the PTA program before I can graduate and sit for licensure.
I would strongly recommend seeking the advice and support of the WIA program if you have experienced career loss. All of the WIA staff and counselors have been extremely helpful. - Samuel Hutton, Grundy WIA grant recipient

Kansas Officials to Study Dangerous Section of Highway K-10
An interchange on Kansas State Road 10 near Eudora, Kan., will be studied for safety reasons after a double fatality at the location last month. K-10's Church Street interchange in Eudora has been the site of numerous accidents since 2000. The latest involved a head-on collision, when a Toyota Camry crossed the median and collided with a minivan carrying two adults and two children. The driver of the Toyota and one of the children in the minivan were killed.
Numerous Incidents
Since 2000, there have been 10 cross-median crashes near the Church Street interchange, resulting in 11 fatalities. When compared to 89 similar crashes causing 104 deaths statewide during the same time period, the Eudora interchange accounts for an extremely high percentage. The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDot) has vowed to closely study the location. Kansas Governor Sam Brownback has requested KDot to reopen a 2008 study in which KDot found that cable median barriers were not warranted for the area.
Controversial Study
Eudora Mayor Scott Hopson doesn't agree with the study. "I would like to the see the cable barrier installed, or some type of barrier," noted Mayor Hopson after a 90-minute meeting of city and county officials along the questioned section of K-10. "I also asked that the information from [the] previous study be updated. We want to mainly get all the information we can." Mayor Hopson has also invited representatives of neighboring Lawrence and DeSoto to join an advisory committee on installing cable barriers from Lawrence all the way to Interstate 435 near DeSoto.
Safety Measures
KDot is presently preparing to widen the shoulders of K-10 along with installing rumble strips in the area. Local residents appear dissatisfied with this, and the amount of time it's taking for safety measures to be installed. Approximately 70 people participated in a candlelight vigil, outside the meeting for the five-year-old child who died in the latest auto accident. Mayor Hopson also believes that two fatal accidents at the location since August 2010 warrant further investigation. "No one around this table has the answer has the answer," said Hopson. "It's going to take all of us to figure it out."

Straight from the Specialists
Higher tax revenue from higher growth
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters)
The 2013-14 budget got completely out of hand because of a whopping shortfall in tax revenue. Development outlays had to be drastically cut to manage the fiscal deficit.
The key to the budget is revenue. The ratio of gross tax revenue to GDP reached a high of 11.9 percent when GDP growth was at its peak of more than 9 percent in 2007-08. Since then, both declined and the ratio has been in the narrow range of 10-10.7 percent. GDP growth is a painless way of raising revenue.
Not all sectors, however, contribute to tax revenue to the same extent as they do to GDP. Agriculture, for instance, generates 18 percent of India's GDP but is out of the tax net. More than 60 percent of tax revenue is derived from industry in the form of corporation tax, excise and customs although it generates less than 20 percent of GDP. Industrial growth is an effective vehicle for tax revenue.
The 2013-14 budget was unbalanced because there was no real industrial growth, but only an increase in prices. As a result, tax revenue was 6.3 percent short of the target. The fall was mainly in respect of corporation tax, which is about a third of the gross tax revenue.
Higher growth can help lower deficit
(The views expressed in this column are the author's own and do not represent those of Reuters)
India's bloating budget deficit has been a matter of concern. It means more borrowing by the government which results in overcrowding of the debt market and consequently, a higher rate of interest for the private sector. It also raises the rate on borrowings from abroad due to the downgrading by rating agencies which is bound to follow.

It's that time of year: The networks are looking ahead to January and their midseason schedules, but some fall shows will have to be canceled to make room for the new stuff. Here's our list of 15 at-risk shows, many of which have posted significant ratings declines. Others are expensive to produce, a little long in the tooth, or just aren't performing as well as their timeslot competition — or even other shows on their own networks. Read about the issues each faces and then weigh in on which deserve to stay — or go.
(We'll keep updating the list of renewals and cancellations at the bottom of the page, so check back for the latest scheduling news.)
Brothers (Fridays at 8/7c, Fox)Issues: This family sitcom hasn't connected with an audience, nor has its timeslot-mate, 'Til Death.
Cold Case (Sundays at 10/9c, CBS)Issues: Show sources say that this is the final season of Cold Case. It's losing to Brothers & Sisters regularly.
Fringe (Thursdays at 9/8c, Fox)Issues: It's been consistently fourth in its extremely competitively timeslot (opposite Grey's Anatomy, The Office and 30 Rock, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Supernatural), despite actually posting gains for Fox on Thursday nights over last season. But the relatively healthy Tuesday audience it used to have is shrinking.
Gary Unmarried (Wednesdays at 8:30/7:30c, CBS)Issues: Its ratings are decent, but nowhere near those of CBS' top sitcoms.
(Editor's note: Since publication, we've received word that Gossip Girl is safe.)Law & Order (Fridays at 8, NBC)Issues: It's losing to Ghost Whisperer, and it's been on the air for 20 years, which is about 140 in TV years. If it completes this season, it will tie Gunsmoke as the longest-running drama in history. NBC wouldn't pull the plug before that achievement, would it?
Melrose Place (Tuesdays at 9/8c, CW)Issues: Yes, the CW has ordered 18 episodes for this season. Two cast members have been fired, and producers say they plan to change direction from the new Melrose Place's dark murder mystery. Will it be enough?
Numb3rs (Fridays at 10/9c, CBS)Issues: At the same time that CBS announced it was increasing the episode orders of, oh, every other show on the network (see below), it cut Numb3rs' order — from 22 to 16.
New Adventures of Old Christine (Wednesdays at 8/7c, CBS)Issues: See above for Gary Unmarried.
Three Rivers (Sundays at 9, CBS)Issues: Critics hated it, despite their ongoing love affair with star Alex O'Loughlin (Moonlight). And it's getting clobbered by Desperate Housewives.
'Til Death (Fridays at 8:30, Fox)Issues: It's never been a ratings barn-burner, and its pairing with Brothers hasn't helped.

Swimmer: training hardest part of crossing
OAKVILLE BEAVER — Madhu Nagaraja swam for more than 24 consecutive hours, braving strong winds and currents during his 41-kilometre journey, to become just the 50th person to successfully swim across...
Madhu Nagaraja reached Coronation Park at 9:37 pm Sunday after more than 24 hours in Lake Ontario. After crossing the lake from Port Dalhousie, he was greeted by his wife Suman Joseph, daughter Meghna (3) and son Vivek (8), and many well wishers.
Madhu Nagaraja swam for more than 24 consecutive hours, braving strong winds and currents during his 41-kilometre journey, to become just the 50 person to successfully swim across Lake Ontario.
And he says that wasn't even the most difficult part.
"I think the training was much harder than the swim," said the 42-year-old Oakville resident. "When I put all these people, the crew, together, it wasn't hard. We all pulled together, that's how I look at it."
That doesn't mean Nagaraja's feat was easy to achieve.
"The first 45 minutes of the swim were fantastic, like swimming on glass," said Nagaraja, who departed Port Dalhousie Saturday at 9:08 p.m.
"Then the washing machine started."
In fact, after swimming futilely for about a five-hour span in the middle of the night, Nagaraja admits he was very close to calling the swim off.
"At that point, I'd only crossed 13 kilometres," said Nagaraja, who estimated it might have taken him three days to cross the lake at that pace.
But, helped by a supportive crew of a coach, navigator, doctor and three pacers, Nagaraja persisted until sunrise. The rest of the swim was much better, although the native of India didn't reach Coronation Park until 9:37 p.m. Sunday — roughly eight hours later than he initially anticipated.
Nagaraja, a senior business analyst in technology services for an insurance company, said the experience of working with his crew was even more rewarding than the feel of the Coronation Park shore on his feet.
"It's an incredible feeling to learn about people's skills. The good human nature of people is such a nice thing. I think that's what it is all about," he said.
"It's not about getting from Point A to Point B. The Point A to Point B is a bonus, but being part of this whole new human dimension where they're not scared to break barriers to help others and they're not scared to push limits, it's mind-blowing. I wish we could all have that kind of feeling as often as possible."
Crossing Lake Ontario is just the latest swimming accomplishment for Nagaraja. He's also crossed the English Channel and swam the length of the Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco, where he trained by routinely swimming from the island of Alcatraz to the mainland.
Nagaraja said it is impossible to compare the different experiences.
"They are all monsters with their own characters," he said.
The biggest challenge of Lake Ontario, according to Nagaraja, is the unpredictability factor.
"There are not enough resources in terms of navigation and crew," he said. "All other parts of the world have their own localized experts. Lake Ontario doesn't have that. I think we as a community should work in building that.
"Ignorance is one of the challenges. We don't know what happens (in the middle of Lake Ontario) and, even if something happens, what to do."
Nagaraja and his Lake Ontario Swim Team (L.O.S.T.) teammates are working on changing that, however.
Nagaraja was the second L.O.S.T. swimmer to attempt a crossing this summer (Francois Hamel had to abandon his swim Sunday after injuring his left shoulder), and teammates Rob Kent, Michele Benoit, Amanda Kelessi, Annaleise Carr and Colleen Shields are scheduled to make the swim in August.
Nagaraja dedicated last weekend's swim to the memory of his aunt, Valli, and friend, John Hathaway. Both were victims of cancer.

CAO Cameroon Robusto Reviews [view details]Give us YOUR review!
Showing 11 through 20 of 24 reviews
"My Favorite - Bar None"
The CAO Cameroon Robusto is my favorite - always a superb draw, a fine burn and gets better the longer it's smoked. Definitely the way to go...JCB in Houston March 8, 2011
"Smooth, even, consistent"
Ordered a 5 pack from cigarmonster, was pleasantly suprised. Hint of spice, perfectly even burn with full bodied smoke. About a 60 minute smoke to the finish, 90 to the nub. Does develop a slight note of bitterness if smoked to the nub.Don in Spokane, WA November 9, 2010
"Very strong smoke"
This says it's a medium body cigar? I disagree, this is a very strong smoke, with a deep spicy and nutty flavor. This is really a full body cigar. I did enjoy it.Bill in PA October 6, 2010
Definitely one of the best tasting CAO cigars I have had. The flavor had a sweet and leathery taste to it with just a little bit of spice. The smoke was thick and a very easy draw. I smoked one out of a sampler I received and loved it. I bought a 5 pack. I smoked one and gave one to my friend. He does not smoke often and he really enjoyed it. And second time around from a different batch was just as good as the first. Smoking a 3rd this past weekend at a wedding it was just as good. Consistent, easy draw, even burn, lots of smoke. A must tryDoug in Pittsburgh October 4, 2010
"From the first puff...it's way too harsh"
Bad after taste & harshness is what comes to mind when I think of this cigar. With liking the quite a few of the other CAO's (Criollo, Bazilia, Maduro, Mx2 & Gold), I was surprised this wasn't one of them.Henry in Oak Forest August 18, 2008
"my first and last cao camaroon"
Im not sure what the deal was, but i did not enjoy this smoke. I was expecting a smooth creamy smoke, but it came out harsh, very peppery, and spicy. That might fit ones fancy, but not mine.Justin in Madison, Ms June 9, 2008
"Awesome, Very Smooth and leaves your mouth"
Great cigar. The drag and construction is very good, burn is ok. The taste is very good, smooth but not spicy enough. Overall i'll give it a 9/10.LoganX in New York May 2, 2008
"Very Smooth"
This is a very smooth smokeing cigar...Not as good as smoking a Cohiba with the cameroon wrapper...But this a fine cigarAnthony in Baghdad Iraq March 30, 2008
"Quite Frankly I'm Shocked"
Having spent the better part of the last three trying just about every cigar I could get my hands on, I found the CAO brand the most consistent, even burning and flavorful cigars available. From the Cameroon, to the CX2, Brasilia, Criollo and the others, CAO maintains a level of quality not found in other brands. My kudos to CAO and keep up the good work.Christopher Covolo in FL May 28, 2007
"One of my favorites"
Right off the bat the draw of this cigar grabbed my attention. Smooth,effortless, and lots of flavor. Burned smooth all the way, slowly changed character,for the better, right to the itty bitty nub. After smoking thousands of cigars I still don't know much about tastes of cedar, wood, leather, nuts, pepper, etc. but I know what I like, and this rates right up at the top. Price is right too.Ron in Michigan January 7, 2007

Deadline Looming for ASSE's Kids' 'Safety-on-the-Job' Poster Contest Entrants
DES PLAINES, IL (January 13, 2012) –With the deadline near, the 100-year-old Des Plaines, IL-based American Society of Safety Engineers' (ASSE) is urging children to get their entries in now for the 10th annual ASSE kids' 'safety-on-the-job' poster contest. The deadline is this February 14. The contest for children aged 5-14 aims to teach children about the importance of being safe at work and what occupational safety, health and environmental (SH&E) professionals do to prevent workplace injuries and illnesses. ASSE is the oldest safety society with more than 34,000 SH&E professional members.
The contest winners in the five age groups will each receive a $5,000 savings bond for their poster that best illustrates being safe at work. The contest is open not only to ASSE members' children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, but also to children of ASSE co-workers. ASSE members can also sponsor schools. To enter, a child must be sponsored by an ASSE member. Those seeking an ASSE member to request sponsorship can check with their local ASSE chapter which can be found at www.asse.org/membership/findachapter.php or contact email@example.com.
The winning posters will not only be featured on the annual North American Occupational Safety and Health (NAOSH) Week poster distributed worldwide, but are recognized, along with all poster participants, at the NAOSH kick-off events in Washington, D.C., in May. The posters will also be displayed in D.C. and at the annual ASSE international Professional Development Conference and Exposition to be held in Denver in June. NAOSH Week runs from May 6-12, 2012, and Occupational Safety and Health Professional Day is May 9, 2012.
All poster contest winners, contestants and their families along with ASSE members, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) staff and Alliance partners, regulators and legislators, attend the annual NAOSH kick-off and poster contest awards events in Washington, D.C. Events are scheduled to be held May 6 and 7 at the National Gallery of Art, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), the National Zoo and more. Other events are held by ASSE members around the globe.
This contest helps spread the word about the importance of being safe at work not only for the worker, but for their families and friends as well. Today, 12 people a day die from on-the-job injuries in the U.S. Recent federal statistics show that in 2010 4,547 workers died from on-the-job injuries and millions more suffered injuries and illnesses. Current statistics show that transportation-related fatalities continue to be the number cause of on-the-job deaths; fatal workplace injuries among police officers increased by 40 percent; private mining industry fatalities increased by 74 percent; work-related fatalities resulting from fire more than doubled; workplace homicides declined by seven percent, but workplace homicides involving women increased by 13 percent; workplace suicides declined slightly from a high of 263 in 2009 to 258 in 2010, the third highest annual total since the census report began; 27 states and Washington, D.C., reported higher numbers of fatal work injuries in 2010 than in 2009, 23 states reported lower numbers; and, the largest number of fatalities was in the 45-54 age group followed by those 55-64, 35-44, and 25-34.
Founded in 1911, the 100-year-old Des Plaines, IL-based ASSE is the oldest professional safety organization and is committed to protecting people, property and the environment. Its more than 34,000 occupational safety, health and environmental professional members manage, supervise, research and consult on safety, health, transportation and environmental issues in all industries, government, labor and education. The rules and entry form are at www.asse.org/naosh or contact ASSE at firstname.lastname@example.com or 847-699-2929.
