Bleszinski: Signing The Witness for the PS4 was a good move for Sony
Gears Of War creator Cliff Bleszinski is excited about the possibilities that the PS4 holds and praised Sony for signing Braid developer Jonathan Blow's new title as a timed exclusive.
Writing in his Tumblr Bleszinski was particularly impressed with Sony signing The Witness saying, "Signing Jon Blow's The Witness was a stroke of genius to show that Sony doesn't just care about guns, cars, and explosions. Jon's on his own level design wise and I'm looking forward to his new project. It feels fresh and new and exciting."
Bleszinski was also interested in the new 'Share' function stating he believed it was step in the right direction and definitely the kind of gimmick that could get gamers in the door.
He wrote, "If the hardware is great and the system sound then the biggest deciding factor will be how much each console creator allows the community to take over in an organic fashion. It sounds like the Sharing feature is a great step. The next one? Indie games, mods, user levels...you know, the things that the PC is so darned good at.
"I joke that the amount of people I know in the restaurant business these days is 'too damned high' but one of many things I've learned from them is that if you have to resort to gimmicks to get people in the door then you're halfway done already," he concluded.

UAE takes lead in fighting trafficking
EU diplomats visit Abu Dhabi Shelter Centre for victims of human trafficking
Abu Dhabi: A European Union (EU) delegation stressed that the UAE has become a pioneer among many countries in combating human trafficking.
A delegation composed of consuls of member states in the European Union paid a visit yesterday to Abu Dhabi's shelter centre which provides asylum to the victims of human trafficking.
The delegation headed by Spanish Consul General in the UAE Vicente Cacho was received by Executive Director of the Shelter Centre Sara Suhail, who briefed the diplomats on the centre's role in providing humanitarian care to the victims and the services provided by these centres in the fields of health care, social, psychological and legal support.
Sara said the centres enhance the UAE's leading role in combating the crime of human trafficking. She stressed that the efforts of the country in this regard have earned international recognition and were cited in several UN reports.
The delegation asserted that the UAE has become a pioneer among a lot of countries in combating this transnational crime, especially by way of developing a legislative and institutional framework and enacting laws that check the growth of human trafficking.
While taking the delegation on the tour of the centre, Sara explained the goals, vision and mission of the Shelter Centres. She said that encouraged by the success of the Abu Dhabi Shelter Centre, Shaikh Hamdan Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Ruler's Representative in the Western Region and Chairman of the UAE Red Crescent Authority gave orders to establish similar centres in the emirates of Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah.
Earlier the delegation of EU Embassies and Consulates visited the National Committee to Combat Human Trafficking at the Ministry of Federal National Council Affairs.
The delegation was received by Dr Saeed Al Ghafli, rapporteur of the committee in the presence of senior officials.
Dr Al Ghafli briefed the delegation about the functions, achievements and partners of the committee, as well as its initiatives to spread awareness among categories of the community and its regional and international roles.
Both sides exchanges views, proposals and initiatives during the meeting to tackle the world human trafficking issue.

Classes can be any day of the week (even weekends) in the morning, afternoon or evening.
In certain circumstances, if your home or office is not suitable, you can take your classes at the trainer's office. All course materials are provided.
We will be happy to offer a free language consultancy before the start of your language training course. This normally takes the form of a telephone conversation in which your specific language training requirements are discussed. We talk about the business situations in which you might be required to use your new language skills, and what work-specific terminology you would like to be able to use in the target language. We can also advise on the best method of learning for you to achieve your goals, and then design a language training course which will enable you to achieve them.
Lila is absolutely delighted to have such an EXCELLENT English teacher! Bonus points too for selecting someone who speaks fluent Russian for Lila, for those rare occasions when translation can benefit the acquisition...
Your career will feel the benefit of our Arabic courses in Washington DC which are designed for business people like you. The classes are based on your needs and will soon have you feeling confident with business introductions and whatever else you want to learn. The advantages of being able to speak Arabic fluently will soon be obvious if you need to deal with colleagues and customers who speak it. Telephone calls and email exchanges will now be a pleasure rather than something to be afraid of.
With our Arabic courses in Washington DC you can take control of your future and pick up the skills which open up a whole new world for you as a bilingual person. You will learn the basics and can then decide what direction you need the lessons to take in order to benefit most from them. Everyone has different reasons for learning Arabic but they all need the same level of quality teaching. Our One-on-One courses will take you to the next level and give you the confidence to progress from there.
Students will also find Arabic courses in Washington DC which are suitable when they want to study with a group of friends or work colleagues. These are offered as Two-to-One Arabic courses or as In-Company Small Group Arabic courses. This is another fine Arabic option in Washington DC which can give the students all the great teaching they need. We only ask that they are of the same level in Arabic and that they book at the same time as well as take classes together. This type of approach is ideal for up to 8 Arabic students. Bigger groups than this can still be catered for, with a maximum of 12 able to take part in an In-Company Taster Arabic course.
One good reason to learn foreign languages is to get access to information.
If you're doing research into a topic there may information about it only available in another language, and if you don't...

Performing Artists (Click on Artist for Reviews and Previews)
Carey AppelIt's hard to believe this LA native has been writing music for under two years and already has a loyal following. Carey began belting melodic tunes off of her backyard balcony at the early age of three. After raising a family and owning a chain of successful retail home stores, this captivating performer and soulful storyteller returned to the music community in 2011 with her first album. "New Favorites". Her company, (aptly named Heather Road for the street she grew up on), produced the album of aurally seductive vocals influenced by Melody Gardot, Patti Griffin, Cheryl Wheeler and Judith Owen.
She has since teamed up with artist and producer Lisa Nemzo (Bonnie Raitt, David Crosby, Heart), who produced her newest album "House of Cards" - featuring original songs written by Carey and co-writer Marc Platt. "I melt when I hear female vocalists who remind me of Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, Carly Simon and Laura Nyro. Carey Appel is one of them. Her 'House of Cards' (Dream Wild) packs a brash wallop and benefits greatly from Nashville production. Appel's voice is strong and pure, and her songs are musically enveloping and lyrically meaningful. Sample "Wish I'd Been There" and "Wait and See". Appel doesn't waste any time capturing your heart." Jazzwax, May 2013.
Carey continues to write and perform and is releasing 2 new singles and her first music video this summer. She is dedicated to children's charities and lives with her husband in Los Angeles, Ca.
Michelle Delamor
After competing with 110,000 other singers across the nation in 2010, Miami native Michelle Delamor landed a spot as a finalist on American Idol. Shortly after her time on the show, she teamed up with Grammy nominated producers Ill Factor (Kevin Rudolf, Justin Timberlake, Faith Hill etc.) and Wayne Rodrigues (Natasha Bedingfield "Unwritten", Kelly Clarkson etc.) Creating a sound that showcases both her raspy edgy tone as well as her soft and vulnerable side, a fusion of Soul Pop and Rock. Her purpose is to lift and inspire the lives of millions around the world by bringing electrifying entertainment with an empowering message and has had the opportunity of opening for many artists such as Lil' Wayne, Akon, Keyshia Cole, Ziggy Marley, Tamia and Jeffrey Osbourne. Embracing her Colombian, Honduran and Argentine roots, Michelle plans on being a part of the Latin music market as well.
Dig The Kid
Dig the Kid is the hottest new Bay Area based Pop-rock Alternative band to hit the music world. This 3-piece ensemble revels in the effortlessness of music in its purest form and reminds their listeners how fun it is to play without boundaries. Dig the Kid has set out to create a musical format that would be treated like a blank canvas allowing their catalog of music to sound more like a play list rather than any particular genre. Dig the Kid's live shows are equally as important as the songs they produce. Dig the Kid brings their audiences to standing ovations and creates new fans with every performance. Every show is a unique experience that delivers catchy beats and hooky melodies to the crowd. Switching instruments, surprise guest performers and audience interactions guarantees you will be a Dig the Kid fan for life.
Mind the Gap
MTG is an electronic pop band formed around the concepts of love and war mixing heavy beats and sexy guitars that make humans and robots finally dance together. The creators of MTG bring their fearless melodies from the studio to the stage with an intoxicating live show that will leave you waving your white flag high into the dark night. Made in Los Angeles, meant for the world.

Kevin Love Still Hopes to End Up With the Los Angeles Lakers
Star PF Kevin Love has been a hot commodity in recent weeks after reports broke that he is angling himself for a departure from the Minnesota Timberwolves sooner rather than later. Sources indicate that Love has made it clear that he will not re-sign with his current team, terminating the final year of his contract which would enter him into free agency July 1 of 2015. Love certainly has a substantial number of suitors looking to acquire him via trade as the Timberwolves would be smart not to allow him to walk for nothing.
Despite contradicting reports, rumor has it that Love still hopes to end up in the city where he played his college ball, Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Lakers have been a long front-runner to land Love, having the advantage of the mega-market team in addition to Love's personal connection with the city itself. However, trading for him does not seem to be an option this summer as the Lakers do not have any assets of value aside from their first-round draft pick. Assuming the seventh pick in the draft alone is not suffice to offer in a trade, Los Angeles appears to be out of luck at least until 2015 free agency.
In 2015, Steve Nash's near $10 million salary will be coming off the books, opening up tons and tons of cap space for Mitch Kupchak to play around with. In order to further convince Love to bolt Minnesota for Los Angeles, though, the team must be in better shape than they currently are. Drafting the correct player to mesh with Love's style of play will be a step in the right direction, but additional moves will likely be necessary.
Several impactful role players are hitting the free agency market this summer, including Luol Deng and Trevor Ariza, who are perfect fits to play alongside Love as well as Kobe Bryant in future years. Signing one of these players may be the convincing factor in completely winning over Love's love for the Lakers.

Weaver surrendered just two hits and a run, walked a batter and struck out four to get his first win this spring.
Jonathan Lucroy singled in Mat Gamel in the top of the second to give the Brewers a 1-0 lead, but Wells stroked a two-run double in the bottom half and then scored on Mark Trumbo's sacrifice fly.
Carlos Ramirez, Alexi Amarista and Kole Calhoun each had RBIs in the eighth inning as part of LA's 12-hit attack.
Michael Fiers was charged with three hits and as many runs over three innings in the start for the Brewers.
There was quite a bit of hitting on the field at Milan Puskar Stadium last weekend, but almost as much action took place in the streets just outside in the hours following West Virginia's upset of visiting Baylor.
Jamie McMurray claimed the pole for the Goody's Headache Relief Shot 500 -- the first race in the Eliminator Round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship -- by beating Joey Logano in Friday's qualifying at Martinsville Speedway.

So, I taught myself to play a little over a year ago...
and I've been stuck in the 1400 range (give or take a 100), for months now (about a half a year). It seems I've progressed pretty fast initially but am now just hovering around this range...if not regressing.
For example...my highest tactic was 1495 a few months back...and now I can barely break the 1400 range.
I admit I do not study as much as I should...openings, midgames, endgames, etc...I just do tactics...which I hear is the heart of chess, but for the amount of tactics I've done (10,000+), I feel I should be much better off.
Is this normal? Do you think there's a possibility that I can eventually break 2,000+ with dedication and practice?
What say you, chess.com?
Tactics might be the heart of chess, but it's only one part of the body. Study your endgames and midgames. Strengthen the veins and arteries for your heart to pump through.
Yeah, I'm sure you're right.
The problem with tactics exercises here is that they are not done by themes but random. If you have studied 100 by one theme (lets say weakness of beck rank) , then 100 in a row with another theme you would better memorize the pattern then you do in random order like they are presented here. After 10 000 that you did your play would be better. Quit them for some time and practise other stuff-endings for start.
Stuck at 1400?! I should be so lucky! My rut is that I'm going down, down, down...
She has been playing for only 1 year.
wow My story not the same at all.
1400 is good for one year. Best advice is.... when you do the tactics, don't move to the next one quickly if you get one wrong. Set it to stop. Then go over it to understand why the best moves are what they are.
A lot of my students think by moving quickly after a loss that it will help, but this is when to slow down and understand things.
Better still, if you can afford to get a coach, they can pinpoint your weaknesses much quicker.
I think this happens to everyone at times.
Look at Carlsen. He's been stuck at 2800 for 4 years.
Okie, bad example maybe.
What's happened is you've reached the limit of your applicable knowledge. It is not too much different than a nurse compared to a surgeon. The nurse cannot do surgery because that is beyond here applicable knowledge.
The only way to break out of this 'rut', as you put it, is to expand your applicable knowledge. And you will NEVER be able to do this just by solving tactics problems.
So, what to study?
I tend to agree that heavy opening study is most beneficial to higher rated players. Not to say you should not learn some openings. But lerning 10 lines for each opening is pretty heavy and may not really benefit you if you don't understand other parts of the game.
End game, to me, is boring but critical to knowing how to formulate your strategy during the middle game.
Middle game study is, for me, the most interesting. And there is LOTS of great free material on the internet. Here is a good place to start:
Tactics may be the heart of chess, but strategy is the brains. WIthout it, you are just striking out in random disconnected ways.

Three decades later, still bonkers Oct 17
Last week the Australian Productivity Commission came out with a couple of reports, on the Aussie dairy trade (pdf) and on Aussie retailing (pdf). I wrote up the dairy one because it had various angles relevant to us, notably some discussion of our Fonterra-centred industry structure, a good smackdown of the 'national champions' idea, and some useful analysis of the economics of the global dairy trade.
I've only just got round to taking a squizz at the retail report, and it's equally good. It points out, for example, that a lot of planning/zoning regulation can be both inefficient and anti-competitive, and that there's a reasonably straightforward path to fixing both problems:
Two reforms have been identified as being of particular importance: first, the need to
reduce the number of business zones and increase the permissible uses of land (to reduce
prescriptiveness) within these zones; and second, to remove consideration of the effects on existing individual businesses from the approval process for development applications (to avoid anticompetitive outcomes) (p11)
The Commission is strongly of the view that state, territory and local governments can
assist consumers and the retail sector by developing and applying zoning policies that
ensure the areas where retailers locate are both sufficiently large (in terms of total retail
floor space) and sufficiently broad (in terms of allowable uses, particularly those relating to business definitions and/or processes). This would allow new and innovative firms to enter local markets and existing firms to expand (p11)
As an example of how those reforms would work, the Commission had heard submissions about high rents being charged to retail outlet tenants by shopping centre owners, and while it noted that following best practice in leasing wouldn't be a bad idea, it also found that "the root cause of most retail tenancy lease problems are unduly restrictive planning and zoning controls that limit competition and restrict retail space, particularly in relation to shopping centres. Addressing the latter would also resolve many of the problems in the retail tenancy market" (p12).
More generally, the report got me thinking about how far Australia, and New Zealand, have got with pro-growth, pro-efficiency, pro-competition deregulation. Because, as this report found, despite years and years of economic reform, there are still thickets of regulation that are absolutely bonkers.
Three examples. I'll let them speak for themselves, other than to note the Aussie Commission comment (p113) that "In many cases, these [trading] rules are anachronistic and have no apparent rationale".
Here's a map of trading hours regulation in Western Australia (p7, repeated on p113).
And here's a decision tree on whether you're allowed to open for business in Australia on Easter Monday (p114).
And here's what Woolworths discovered about trading rules in Western Australia for its Masters Home Improvement Stores (which are like Mitre 10 or Bunnings Warehouse megastores):
in Western Australia, regulations prevent Masters Home Improvement stores from trading in line with the hours enjoyed by other hardware stores. To be eligible to trade as a 'domestic development shop' Masters must only sell those goods that are prescribed by the Retail Trading Hours Regulations 1988. The regulations prescribe a list of what a 'domestic development shop' can sell, which gives rise to all sorts of inconsistencies and anomalies. The regulations allow the sale of:
• light bulbs but not light fittings
• outdoor lighting but not indoor lighting
• kitchen sinks but not dishwashers
• wood-fire heaters but not gas heaters
• indoor television antennae but not outdoor television aerials (p10)
I suppose the good news is that both Australia and New Zealand now have Productivity Commissions that are able to turn over the flat stones and tell us what they're finding underneath, and there's the occasional one-off inquiry like Australia's recent Competition Policy Review that has been doing the same thing (have a read here in particular). It's good to know that there's still some kind of following wind to keep the momentum of reform going.
But isn't it strange, and a bit dispiriting, that after the best part of 30 years of progress in both countries, we're still lumbered with this kind of malarkey. And while I suspect we may not be as bad as the Aussies on most shop regulation (though I could be wrong about the Easter trading, where our regime is probably as chaotic as theirs), I wonder what we'd find if, for example, we turned over some flat stones of our own. I wonder what's underneath the occupational qualifications one?
Three strikes, and you're – still going…. Oct 17
In a previous post I mentioned that Australia's Competition Policy Review had put a torpedo into the side of 'national champions' – requiring or allowing mass consolidation of an industry to produce what will supposedly be a more internationally competitive player.
And last week, I'm pleased to say, the drifting hulk took another blow as Australia's Productivity Commission got it amidships with another one.
The occasion was the Commission's report on dairy manufacturing (pdf) – the latest in an industry series on 'Relative Costs of Doing Business in Australia'. There's lot of interesting stuff in the report, including the short but informative Appendix B down the back on 'Economics of dairy markets', but for me the highlights were the bits where the Commission responded to submitters arguing that Australia should go the Fonterra route (these are all on p3):
the Australian dairy industry is a price taker on global markets and has no capacity to alter this, irrespective of the structure of the industry. A belief that any single Australian dairy company could exert market power is not consistent with market realities
the emergence of a dominant manufacturer is not a prerequisite for developing distinctive Australian branding for dairy products
there are potential risks associated with highly concentrated industry structures if the overall performance of the industry is linked with one company
Fonterra-like arrangements are not necessary to ensure that scale benefits at the plant level are realised — indeed, there is considerable evidence that Australian dairy manufacturers are taking advantage of scale benefits where it is profitable
And the Commission wrapped it up on p8 with this:
…industry participants are best placed to balance the various tradeoffs and commercial considerations they face (such as between scale and transport costs). Other than where legitimate competition concerns are relevant…the most beneficial dairy industry structure for Australia will be determined by the market place. Attempts by governments to 'second guess' market outcomes to achieve a particular industry structure are fraught with difficulty, and likely to impose net costs on the industry and the community more generally. It does not require much imagination — or experience with price setting by government — to envisage highly problematic judgements in setting an Australian price (or prices) for guaranteed domestic milk supply, as occurs today in New Zealand.
The Commission also quoted (pp115-6) from a recent speech by Rod Sims, the head of the ACCC, where he said:
We are seeing a return to calls for 'national champions' in Australia. It is, of course, terrific when companies out compete their rivals and take on the world. The concern is when they call for restrictions on competition at home so they can better compete on the world stage. The argument is a contradiction: if you cannot beat your rivals at home how can you hope to do so overseas? Firms involved in cosy oligopolies or oligopolies in Australia are unlikely to succeed on the world stage.
So it looks as if the old rustbucket SS National Champion has now taken three hits in a row. Unfortunately, if past experience is any guide, it will manage to struggle back to port, get patched up, and in due course set out again on another hopeful journey.
Morning roundup Oct 16
Short notes on the worthies from the open tabs, each of which would merit a full post in an unconstrained world.
- If this high court ruling holds, expect no new policies to cover full replacement. Justice Whata ruled that Vero must cover the full costs associated with reinstating a Christchurch building, even where some of those costs are due to things like requiring deeper piles than were necessary when the policy was set. I think the insurer is right that it should not be liable for costs that are consequent to changes in Council rules; alternatively, Councils could give free money to each and every person in town by requiring that, post-quake, every house be made of gold and have platinum spouting. I also do not think that Councils should be changing the building requirements for a reasonable interval between an insured event and the completion of earthquake repairs. If the building code isn't good enough, fix it ahead of the event so that insurance pricing can incorporate a better measure of expected repair costs or so owners can insure to a higher value to allow for the higher costs.
- Remember "Shoot, shovel and shut up"? Property owners have incentive to take defensive action before a costly regulation is put in place, even if that means destroying valuable habitat. I wonder if that's what's happening in this story. A church is bulldozing two houses to put up a parking lot; the street is about to be designated as a "special character area" in the Unitary Plan. Could be that they'd have held onto the houses if they'd reckoned they'd face much much higher costs if they wanted to demolish sometime down the line. I wonder whether other areas about to come under such protections are seeing similar precautionary demolitions.
- I almost hope that San Francisco does pass a $0.24/can soda tax, just so we can estimate the effects. Prior work shows no evidence of threshold effects on caloric intake at tax levels up to about 12%; this would give evidence at higher tax levels. The costs would be borne by people in San Francisco, and I'd get some information about how the world works.
- There'd be a billion screaming anti-tobacco activists if tobacco sponsorship of an arts festival resulted in the cancellation of some anti-smoking play. Government anti-tobacco health funding of the West Australian Opera has resulted in the cancellation of Carmen because there would have been on-stage smoking; I've seen outcry from Catallaxy and Crikey. Nothing much otherwise.
- The Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Agency stole land from Christchurch land-owners under compulsory acquisition. They haven't even bothered paying some of the owners. And people criticise the government for having left the recovery to 'the market'. You can't steal land from its rightful owners under market-based approaches. If this kind of thing happened under a Labour government, National would be standing up for property rights. Under Brownlee, well, it won't happen.
- Addiction is something most addicts grow out of. I love this quote:
So why do so many people still see addiction as hopeless? One reason is a phenomenon known as "the clinician's error," which could also be known as the "journalist's error" because it is so frequently replicated in reporting on drugs. That is, journalists and rehabs tend to see the extremes: Given the expensive and often harsh nature of treatment, if you can quit on your own you probably will. And it will be hard for journalists or treatment providers to find you.
Similarly, if your only knowledge of alcohol came from working in an ER on Saturday nights, you might start thinking that prohibition is a good idea. All you would see are overdoses, DTs, or car crash, rape or assault victims. You wouldn't be aware of the patients whose alcohol use wasn't causing problems. And so, although the overwhelming majority of alcohol users drink responsibly, your "clinical" picture of what the drug does would be distorted by the source of your sample of drinkers.
Bryan Caplan has similar thoughts.
- Political ignorance remains a major source of political failure. How can we get things right where voters fundamentally fail to understand the basics on the composition of federal spending?
Did we lose the fiscal plot? Oct 14
I've been engaged in a bit of tweeting to and fro about the rise in New Zealand's government debt in recent years, and what's behind it.The background is that there's been a fair bit of political point-making going on about the large rise in debt on Na…
2014 Nobel Prize in economics: Jean Tirole Oct 14
A number of people seem more excited by this award than me, see for example, A Fine Theorem and Tyler Cowen at Marginal Revolution.
Cowen does mention Tirole's survey article with Holmstrom on the theory of the firm which is well worth reading even if a few years old now. In a survey paper of mine on the theory of privatisation I say this about a paper by Laffont and Tirole (Jean-Jacques Laffont and Jean Tirole (1991). 'Privatization and Incentives', Journal of Law, Economics, & Organization, 7 (Special Issue) [Papers from the Conference on the New Science of Organization, January 1991]: 84-105.):
In the Laffont and Tirole (1991) model a firm is assumed to be producing a public good with a technology that requires investment by the firm's manager. In the case of a public firm this investment can be diverted by the government to serve social ends. For example, the return on investment in a network could be reduced by the government if it were to allow ex post access to the general population. Such an action may be socially optimal but would expropriate part of the firm's investment. A rational expectation of such an expropriation would reduce the incentives of a public firm's manager to make the required investment. For a private firm, the manager's incentives to invest are better given that both the firm's owners and the manager are interested in profit maximisation. The cost of private ownership is that the firm must deal with two masters who have conflicting objectives: shareholders wish to maximise profits while the government purses economic efficiency. Both groups have incomplete knowledge about the firm's cost structure and have to offer incentive schemes to induce the manager to act in accordance with their interests. Obviously the game here is a multi-principal game which dilutes the incentives and yields low-powered managerial incentive schemes and low managerial rents. Each principal fails internalise the effects of contracting on the other principal and provides socially too few incentives to the firm's management. The added incentive for the managers of a private firm to invest is countered by the low powered managerial incentive schemes that the private firm's managers face. The net effect of these two insights is ambiguous with regard to the relative cost efficiency of the public and private firms. Laffont and Tirole can not identify conditions under which privatisation is better than state ownership.
Cowen goes on to say,
It's an excellent and well-deserved pick. One point is that some other economists, such as Oliver Hart and Bengt Holmstrom, may be disappointed they were not joint picks, this would have been the time to give them the prize too, so it seems their chances have gone down.
Hart and Holmstrom's chances may have gone up since they can now be given for their, separate and joint, work on different aspects of the theory of the firm.
Public health and market failures Oct 13
I'm not particularly worried about any large-scale Ebola outbreaks in the developed world. It's easier in the developed world to run effective quarantine and to track down those who might have been exposed to an infected and contagious person.
That certainly doesn't mean Ebola isn't worth worrying about. The burden of Ebola in Africa looks likely to be huge. Even where the total number of deaths remains very low relative to other African diseases like malaria, Ebola has an incomparable potential to disrupt economic activity. I'd put even odds that economic disruption caused by completely understandable fear around Ebola will kill as many people as the disease itself. When taxicabs become ways of catching disease and hospitals terrifying, and when a worker with flu symptoms could well be somebody who'll kill all your staff if he comes in to work and touches people – it's really not good.
Pandemic protection is a strong public good. Any dollar's investment in pandemic protection protects everybody who could be at risk: it's non-rivalrous. Every dollar spend improving hospitals in Africa, training doctors, providing medical equipment, and developing emergency response protocols is a dollar that protects each and every person in Africa, and by extension the rest of the world where there's risk of pandemics' spreading (think Bangladesh, Pakistan and India, not Europe and America). We all benefit from it. There is then a strong case for government funding of pandemic prevention efforts. There's also a really good case for things like Kickstarter, or PledgeMe, running campaigns on it to also help out.
The World Health Organisation is the outfit that's supposed to have an eye on the ball on this stuff. Unfortunately, in my view, the WHO has gone astray. Or at astray from what it should have been.
In the public health world, the social welfare function is either minimising the number of deaths, minimising incidence of morbidity, or maximising the number of disability-adjusted life-years or quality-adjusted life years. In economics, it's maximising some weighted utility function. The two yield very different outcomes and are what drive my dissatisfaction with the WHO's prioritisation.
Suppose we have several kinds of initiatives that would increase DALYs and reduce the overall burden of sickness and disease. Some of these, like polio eradication, provide health benefits without any particularly large cost as viewed by the person receiving the polio vaccine.* Nobody enjoys having polio. Nobody would voluntarily seek to have polio. If polio ceased to exist, the world would be a better place. Others of these, like regulations on soda, tobacco, alcohol, fatty foods, and salt, can increase DALYs and reduce the overall burden of sickness and disease too, but they come at a cost in terms of private experienced consumption benefits: many people like soda, smoking, drinking, and eating tasty things.
In the public health world, if a dollar's worth of effort yields greater expected DALY benefits in dietary and lifestyle regulation than it does in pandemic avoidance, that dollar should go to dietary and lifestyle regulation. In the economics world, we start by looking for market failures and target funding where markets won't do well on their own. And when it comes to lifestyle regulation, we need a rather harder look at things than just DALYs where choosing agents might well prefer to consume unhealthy things, at DALY cost, in exchange for current consumption benefits.
If we had to rank-order things by a very rough guess as to where the market failures are worst, I'd rank them as follows:
- Pandemic readiness and response, especially in developing countries;
- Antibiotic resistance and superbug mutation;
- Development of new antibiotics;
- Contagious diseases affecting developing countries where there's no particular profit in pharmaceutical investment: malaria and a big pile of others;
- Other contagious disease investigation and response;
- Vaccination promotion;
- Poor information about risks of smoking, diet and alcohol in the third world
@EricCrampton That ratio is about right. The priorities (roughly) reflect the burden of disease.
— George Darroch (@mrdarroch) October 5, 2014
This isn't just a "get off my lawn and leave me alone" thing. It's "why are you spending a hundred million bucks protecting people against themselves when you're under-resourced for pandemics?!?" thing.
Shouldn't we first target the health priorities that stem from market failures and impose existential risk?
Update: I've had request for clarification of what market failure means. My encyclopaedia entry is here. Further discussion here.
* Or at least there wouldn't be costs to getting the polio vaccine if the CIA hadn't managed to convince everybody that vaccinations are spy mission.

|Ever encounter a bug where UI buttons are not clickable or elements are mysteriously missing? This is usually caused by a bug in the Blizzard frame code, whereby child frames can accidentally be assigned a lower level in the frame strata than their parent, leading to buttons that appear "behind" their container, making them either unclickable or completely hidden. StrataFix provides a simple workaround for this bug, which affects numerous UI elements, notably including: Encounter Journal...

On Monday, Mo Williams agreed to sign with the Minnesota Timberwolves for one year after one effective season with the Portland Trail Blazers. After doing so, he expressed feelings of gratitude towards the fans and the Blazers organization for giving him the opportunity to play for them. Apparently, though, the backup point guard had to deal with some heckling fans about his time in Portland, and he decided to address those particular folks in a quick string of tweets:
Tweet of the Night: Amid Love's Uncertain Future, Wolves Add Veteran Leader
It seems the only thing that you hear about the Minnesota Timberwolves these days is the on-again-off-again, never-ending swirl of Kevin Love trade talks. Whether the other team involved is the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Chicago Bulls or the Golden State Warriors, it almost seems to go on forever. Where will Love end up? As of now, no one knows. What we do know, as of Monday, is that the Wolves president of basketball operations and head coach Flip Saunders has added some
Three-Man Weave: Western Conference Burning Questions
On Thursday, we brought back our Three-Man Weave, taking a look at some of the big picture questions for Eastern Conference teams that the offseason may or may not have answered. Today, we shift our focus to the Western Conference, where the player movement has been less dramatic and more subtle but entirely interesting and thought-provoking. Let's take a look at some of the bigger issues. 1. Which team has taken the biggest step forward in the Western Conference?

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant led all vote getters as the lone unanimous selection to the First Team, followed by Miami Heat forward LeBron James, Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah, Houston Rockets guard James Harden and Los Angeles Clippers guard Chris Paul. Much to the chagrin of 124 NBA writers with voting privileges, Chris Sheridan, our esteemed Editor-in-Chief, was the lone vote preventing

Tweet of the Day: NBA Players Excited For NFL Draft
Among professional sports in America, the National Football League reigns supreme, but one would like to think that playoffs for any of the other major sports would be more important than the first round of another league's draft. Apparently not. ESPN, which holds the broadcast rights to Thursday's NBA playoff games, also hosts the NFL's draft. Guess which show got top billing? Football's offseason. Game 2 in Miami will be broadcast on ESPN 2, while 32 former college athletes will sit around
NBA players react to Damian Lillard's incredible game-winning 3-pointer to end Houston's season
The game was supposed to be just about over. The Houston Rockets were supposed to force a Game 7 against the Portland Trail Blazers after Chandler Parsons gave them the 98-96 lead on a put-back layup with just 0.9 seconds left in the game. At worst, they should have prevented a 3-point shot so that the game would go into overtime if the Blazers converted any other shot. Unfortunately for the Rockets, Damian Lillard hit the shot of his life at

Cops: Airport Workers Steal 100,000 Mini Liquor Bottles
More than a dozen people have been busted by authorities, accused of stealing almost $750,000 worth of mini liquor bottles and other items from one of the nation's busiest airports.
FOX News Radio's Lisa Lacerra has details from New York City:
Audio clip:
Eighteen workers at New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport arrested. Authorities say they stole 100,000 mini alcohol bottles, as well as duty-free items like perfume and cigarettes.
(Brown) "It came to our attention that it was happening through various sources.
…Queens, New York District Attorney Richard Brown.
(Brown) "It took us five months to put all the pieces together."
Fifteen of those arrests are current or former truck drivers for Sky Chef, the food and beverage subsidiary of American Airlines. The other three are security guards.

Queens University to dedicate Rogers Hall on Thursday
Send this to a friend

- Staff Writer- Charlotte Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Queens University of Charlotte will formerly dedicate its new, $17.8 million science and health building on Thursday.
Rogers Hall is a four-level brick building that serves as the new home for the university's health, biology, chemistry and environmental science programs. Queens is seeking Platinum LEED-certification for the 56,500-square-foot center, the highest level of achievement under the U.S. Green Building Council's rating system.
The invite-only dedication event starts at 6:30 p.m. at the university at 1900 Selwyn Ave. in Myers Park. After a short ceremony, students will take visitors on tours of Rogers Hall, located on corner at Selwyn and Radcliffe avenues.
In attendance will be Queens Board of Trustees Chair Michael Marsicano, who is also chief executive of Foundation For The Carolinas, Queens President Pamela Davies and (of course) Duke Energy Corp. Chief Executive Jim Rogers and his wife, Mary Anne.
The building is officially named James E. and Mary Anne Rogers Science and Health Building in honor of couple's $4.1 million donation. Construction of Rogers Hall was made possible through a fundraising campaign that totaled $130 million over four years.
Click here to see a slideshow of Rogers Hall as construction was wrapping up in late 2012, including photos of the building's living green wall and rooftop greenhouse.

Westinghouse 110-inch 4K Ultra HD Debuting at CES
The company will debut that giant UHDTV set alongside a few smaller options at 2013 International CES.
Westinghouse Digital UHDTVs will be available in 50-, 55- and 65-inch sizes starting in the first quarter of 2013. That 110-incher will also be available around that time, but only via custom order.
All four of the 4K TVs will feature a 3840-by-2160 resolution, with the three smaller models packing in native 120 Hz refresh rates.
"Our new UHDTV lineup, and the value that it offers to consumers, will change expectations across the entire TV marketplace," says Rey Roque, senior VP of marketing at Westinghouse Digital. "Westinghouse Digital was at the forefront of providing 1080p TVs to consumers and now is positioned to provide Ultra High Definition TVs to a broader market. We believe that consumers will be amazed by the experience they can expect from these displays and delighted with the affordability."
Westinghouse has yet to announce any other features or pricing as it probably wants to save a little something for the big show. 2013 International CES will run from January 8-11, 2013, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Paris Hilton is often criticized for being "famous for being famous," but the 30-year-old reality star says she's worked hard to amass her hefty fortune.
PHOTOS: Paris Hilton's worst outfits ever
"I'm involved in my products every step of the way. My fragrances are doing really well at the moment," Hilton tells FHM UK's January issue. "They've produced more than $1.3 billion in revenue since 2005."
"I have 35 stores and 17 product lines. And then there's my racing team, my 14 fragrances and my new project, the Paris Hilton Beach Club chain. The first one is opening in the Philippines soon. It's going to have nightclubs, restaurants, bars, gyms. Everything really."
VIDEO: Watch Paris Hilton storm out of an ABC interview
Hilton, who's currently dating Dutch DJ and music producer Afrojack, also plans to release a follow-up to her 2006 debut album, despite dismal record sales.
"I have a huge passion for house music," Hilton tells FHM UK. "I just haven't been able to focus on it, because I have been doing reality TV for so long now. I've been working on the album with lots of other top DJs for a while now and I think people will be really surprised. It's very modern and very catchy; perfect party music."
PHOTOS: Paris Hilton's best bikini moments
"There are just so many great DJs right now," Hilton adds. "And I should know -- I've been to over 100 raves in the past year, so I've heard every type of music."

When you're a (self-proclaimed) member of rap royalty like Chance Fischer, a simple "Yo" or "Hi" just doesn't do justice to the honor of your presence. That's why, for his first feature and latest single, the Richmond, Virginia rhymesayer's come up with a new, signature greeting: a hearty "Salutations," accompanied by a two-handed, middle-finger salute. Denero and Matt Campfield man the mixing boards on this imperious banger, layering melodramatic choral harmonies over ominous synths and midtempo percussion. For his part, Fischer delivers some of the most entertainingly over-the-top braggadocio I've heard in a minute, demanding "All hail to the motherf**kin' Caesar," and boasting of his power to "save a demon out of hell." Presumptuous? Perhaps, but inflated self-regard ain't exactly a handicap in the rap game—in fact, it's more of a prerequisite. Those who are ready to pledge their fealty to Chance Fischer can expect more dope tunes where this came from on Friends.Romans.Collegemen, scheduled for release December 15.
