About Aid Watch
The Aid Watch blog is a project of New York University's Development Research Institute (DRI). This blog is principally written by William Easterly, author of "The Elusive Quest for Growth: Economists' Adventures and Misadventures in the Tropics" and "The White Man's Burden: Why the West's Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good," and Professor of Economics at NYU. It is co-written by Laura Freschi and by occasional guest bloggers. Our work is based on the idea that more aid will reach the poor the more people are watching aid.

We think this infographic from WebpageFX is really awesome! Enjoy
It turns out buying more stuff will not make you any happier, and in fact will likely make you less happy in the long run. Consumerism is cited as the biggest suppressor of happiness. We'd all be better served with 20 minutes a day outside with good weather, getting hitched, moving to Iceland, keeping our surroundings at 57 degrees F, focusing on our health, getting some exercise, and eating the right foods!

The Sac-Joaquin Section realignment committee, which met Jan. 8 in Stockton, proposed no changes for the TCAL and SJAA, but left the leagues with the opportunity to propose their own alterations.
League leaders gathered the next day to come up with their own version of realignment, which led to a proposal that will be considered Tuesday, Jan. 29.
A new high school alignment would see Tracy and West, Lincoln and St. Mary's of Stockton, and Lodi and Tokay of Lodi grouped in the TCAL.
The SJAA would keep Bear Creek, Chavez and Franklin and add Edison, McNair and Stagg, all Stockton schools.
Tracy High athletic director Gary Henderson said most of the schools appear to be in favor of the change, especially among the schools that would be in the new TCAL.
"That brings some of the rivalries back," Henderson said. "It will be interesting to see how it plays out."
Will DeBoard, spokesman for the Sac-Joaquin Section, said the 2005 action that split the SJAA into two leagues was fairly unpopular, because it put cross-town rivals into separate leagues.
But at the time, there were few options for what was then a 10-team league, which was set to add McNair and Chavez high schools.
He said that no matter what the future TCAL-SJAA alignment is, the 12 teams currently in those leagues will remain in those leagues.
"We know that in some form or fashion, all of those schools will be together," DeBoard said.
West High athletic director Matt Loggins said the proposal to be discussed Jan. 29 creates competitive equity because all of the schools in the new TCAL would have freshman programs.
It also puts the most competitive teams into one league, he said, though that wouldn't make it easier for Tracy and West to win league titles.
"It's going to be difficult putting West and Tracy in with St. Mary's, Lodi and Lincoln," Loggins said, noting that those schools are consistently strong in most sports.
Henderson agreed, but he hopes the Bulldogs embrace the challenge.
"We would rather be in a tougher league, and know when we get to playoffs that we earned it," he said.
DeBoard said the Jan. 29 meeting is a chance for everyone to discuss proposed changes around the section.
The Jan. 8 meeting, he added, was the first opportunity to see how schools would react to the section's recommendations.
"That's just a starting point for the committee and the schools," DeBoard said. "Everyone can say what they like or don't like about it."
Those that would see the biggest shifts include the Sacramento area's Delta River League and Delta Valley Conference, which could become one league.
The Valley Oak League, which includes Kimball High, could also see changes.
Kimball would likely stay put, but Lathrop and Weston Ranch would move to the Western Athletic Conference, and WAC teams Patterson and Ceres would move to the VOL.
The VOL's Oakdale would move to the Modesto Metro Conference and Sonora would go to the Mother Lode League.
The team from under-construction Mountain House High School would go to the Trans Valley League, which includes Escalon, Hilmar, Hughson, Orestimba, Ripon and Riverbank.
"There are a lot of moving parts," DeBoard said. "Every school will have a chance to have their say."

Intel Next Generation Infrastructure Platform to Provide Communications Workload Consolidation
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) LONDON -- (Marketwire) -- 11/27/12 -- Intel Corporation recently announced its latest communications platform, previously code named "Crystal Forest," will help service providers and telecom equipment manufacturers (TEMs) encrypt and process data across the network more efficiently. The platform will also offer superior communications workload consolidation via a single architecture for greater cost efficiency.
The platform will particularly benefit TEMs that are developing low-end products (such as wireless access and branch routers), as well as high-end equipment (for example LTE core network elements and enterprise security appliances).
The new platform is based on the Intel® Sandy Bridge microarchitecture code and includes the Intel® QuickAssist Technology. Intel® QuickAssist is a set of software and hardware modules that accelerate bulk encryption, data compression and other workloads. The acceleration features are accessed via a unified set of industry-standard APIs, which provides consistent conventions and semantics across multiple accelerator implementations and future-proofs software investments.
By integrating the QuickAssist Technology the new platform can deliver up to 80 Gbps crypto acceleration, which would normally require the deployment of multiple architectures to achieve this rate.
The platform is also flexible allowing network element designers to combine components within the product in a multitude of ways to achieve the functionality and performance they require for each deployment.
A variety of Crystal Forest platform components will be made available to provide TEMs and service providers with the scalability to design low-end routers right up to high-end comms products that can deliver up to 160 million packets per second Layer 3 packet forwarding performance.
Systems engineers can also use the platform to develop a cost-competitive family of products based on a common codebase. This ability significantly reduces software development cost, while the opportunity to use COTS boards greatly minimizes hardware development cost.

President Hugo Chavez, the fiery populist who declared a socialist revolution in Venezuela, crusaded against U.S. influence and championed a leftist revival across Latin America, died Tuesday at age 58 after a nearly two-year bout with cancer.
Vice President Nicolas Maduro, surrounded by other government officials, announced the death in a national television broadcast. He said Chavez died at 4:25 p.m. local time.

HGTV Message Boards
Design on a Dime
What happened to HGTV???
I a looking at a full weeks schedule and all I see is house hunters love it or list it and only ONE show about decorating ONE time a week (Color Splash). Kind of sad only one show to watch all week!!!
I've been watching HGTV since it started airing.Do you remember Kitty Barthalmew(S?), what happened to ALL the excellent, helpful, design shows that were available all day long??? If I want to buy a house, I'll connect with a realtor-- who cares if someone is looking at a house 'cross country-it's unimportant to me...are they showing Sarah Richardson's newest program...it's on in Canada, I guess USA HGTV doesn't care about what people REALLY want to see! Disgusted but hopeful management will change things.
Yeah, me too; nothing I want to watch. Disappointing and disgusting.
Might as well call the network Real Estate TV.
I just got a sign on so that I could post my concerns for the TV content or lack of. Only to find others are saying the same thing. Not really surprising. I was also going to say 'Real Estate TV' !!! I think that all of the design talent has been siphoned off to the HGTV Magazine. I have subscribed to the magazine since the beginning and have found it to have refreshing formats, contents and graphics. The design hosts and contest winners and participants are the ones that are being shown in the magazine. Here's my suggestion to the HGTV producers: Get half of those folks off the magazine duties and back on TV with new episodes of our favorites. The other half can work on the magazine for a while. And then rotate them or split their duties between the 2. You need to get your fan base base back!
I thought it was just me - so happy to find there are others who are tired of watching real estate shows. Is HGTV now owned by that industry? I am a single, working woman who doesn't have the luxury of daytime TV - I want to see decorating shows with current trends and colors at night, every night! Where are all the HGTV design stars that you all selected? Please get with the program and bring back the HGTV that we love!
I am happy to see others share my concern. If HGTV wants to feature real estate, get another channel and call it HGTV Real Estate and show all you want, but quit messing with our decorating/design shows! I counted one week exactly how many times they showed Property Brothers and Love It or List It and was shocked! They dominate HGTV. I have started watching other channels where they feature a couple design shows and if HGTV isn't careful, other channels will feature what HGTV has given up and HGTV will lose a lot of followers. I have been waiting to see High Low Project. According to the schedule, it isn't listed to air through spring and into summer. Not even reruns. They have shown episodes from the shows listed above over and over so many times it is painful to watch. It is disappointing that HGTV has gotten away from their roots. I will hold out hope for more design emphasis in the very near future, or I will turn the TV off when I see another real estate show on HGTV.
Ditto on all of the above. I'm glad to see others agree, but how do we find out what has happened to all of our shows? I use to bleed HGTV until this year now I find myself going to other stations just to see flipping shows or any design shows. Who can respond and let us know when our shows are returning - Meg, David, you all know what shows I mean, where are they, you can't tell me they weren't being watched - everyone loved them, now where are they.
Thank you! I was just thinking that myself. YOu can only watch so many episodes of one show in a row before you want to throw the remote into the tv. What happened to the craft shows and the shows that actually show you how to do all this decorating, diy doesn't even do that anymore.
I have a website,blog and a facebook page and all the women that follow me were discussing this very thing for the past couple of days. What happened to all the design shows. We're tired of watching young adults, the ages of our children, buying million dollar homes all over the world! Come on! We just want to see our old favorites back so we can enjoy and decorate the homes we're in. You know, like real life!! I'm looking back through all these comments and why isn't HGTV replying or answering these? I miss Candice and Joan and Design on a Dime and Decorating Cents. What happened.
Ladies, I hope you won't mind if I jump in here for a minute. If I am out of line, I apologize.
Here on the Message Board under the Favorite Shows topic on the Shows Forum there is an opening paragraph that I am going to quote here. I had not seen this info until a few months ago...It was probably there, I just didn't pay attention. Here goes....
"Welcome to HGTV's Favorite Shows Message Board."
"NOTE: These forums provide a place for discussion of HGTV programming with other fans. HGTV does not respond to posts on this Board. To send your thoughts to HGTV programming, contact our Viewer Services Department. You can send an email to the Viewer Services Department."
In the original message on the computer screen, you can click on Viewer Services Department and it will take you there.
The Viewer Services Department is actually the Chat Line. The Line is available Mon thru Fri from about 9:30 to 5:00 Eastern Time. When you contact the Chat Line, you are actually dealing with a live person. Sometimes I have trouble getting on the Chat Line. I just try later.
The Chat line is the little green box just above the email form. Your name and email address is the only info they ask you for.
I hope this helps anyone who wants to let HGTV know what programming they would like to see. I don't know if it will help change anything, but at least you know that your message is getting into the network. MaryleeThis message has been edited. Last edited by: mriley,
Is anyone else disgusted and sick and tired of watching shows on HGTV where the people are constantly whining about having to live through a week or two long renovation...or being so entitled that they MUST have granite and stainless steel and only HIGH END fixtures in their (new) home? I'm tired of it - I miss shows where you actually taught me how to do something or gave me ideas for rooms/spaces, etc. Now all I see are whiny people "suffering" because a room is the wrong color and/or they don't have enough foresight to see the possibilities. Whatever happened to living within your means and hard work? Another thing - shows where you have a budget that's ALWAYS blown because you use exorbitantly priced fixtures and appliances that really aren't necessary to make the place look great. Get back to basics, HGTV.
I agree! All the shows now are about buying or selling a home and doing major home renovations. What happened to the decorating (on a budget) shows and the gardening shows? It's called Home & Garden TV, but there's nothing about gardening anymore.
HGTV use to be my favorite channel to watch and I use to get so many decorating ideas from the shows. I hardly watch it anymore, because every time I turn it on House Hunters or the Property Brothers is on. I miss the decorating shows and the gardening shows :-( !
As MaryLee suggested above, I finally found the live chat line here: http://www.hgtv.com/contact-us/package/index.html
I wrote my complaint and the on line operator said she would pass it along. Maybe if you all go there and do the same, they'll start paying attention. I hope!
Thank you, Grandma Nina. I am so glad that you went to the Chat Line. It is really easy, isn't it? And the ladies there are helpful. I know that a message left with them will get to the proper people. I agree with you...if enough people contact them...maybe something good will happen.
I realize that the Message Board only shows a small section of views, but it covers the entire country,,,so they would be getting opinions from all over. MaryleeThis message has been edited. Last edited by: mriley,
do any of the advertisers know that we just aren't choosing to watch HGTV anymore of this lame programming? I mean, if they're the ones paying for the shows to air so we'll see their products, does it make any sense to spend advertising dollars here? Maybe it would be better to contact them
Have you read the several previous posts on how to contact HGTV directly? We all understand your frustration, perhaps if HGTV is able to hear from many of us directly, they would do something about it.
rker, I am so glad you are putting the word out there to the posters. I hope you can get the idea across. MaryleeThis message has been edited. Last edited by: mriley,
Here is the link to contact HGTV on a live chat and put in a complaint. They tell me these get passed on to those that need to know! http://www.hgtv.com/contact-us/package/index.html
Wonderful to know. It isn't the correct time to contact them now, but I am going to come back and let the network know that I miss watching HGTV. Rarely watch the stupid programming that dominates now. Thanks so much for the link.

I found this in relation to recent discussions on homesteading. Can someone homestead misery? It seems like a bizarre concept. Block made some compelling arguments (his alphabet-soup diction notwithstanding), but I think it is inappropriate to apply the term homesteading to the concept.
I also saw another thread that briefly discussed this concept, but it wasn't very thorough.
I offer this situation to show both the error and the benefit of Block's idea. Say Aggressor grabs Bystander's coffee table and uses it as a shield to hunt and attempt to kill Target. Can Target legally shoot Aggressor in an act of self defense through the coffee table?
It would seem that this leaves 3 options, either:
1. Just appears absurd on it's face. 2. Opens the door to prioritizing rights. 3. Must include some type of property abandonment.
One would assume that libertarian legal theory would abide the destruction of a table in self defense long before it allows the destruction of innocent human life in self defense. And since the coffee table has no ability to "homestead misery", some other rationale must account for its owner's loss of a property right.
I say that the Bystander in some way abandons the table vis-a-vis third parties when it is stolen. I would also apply that same logic to any other theft. A third party has not violated the rights of an original property owner by buying stolen property from a thief. The thief owes compensation to the rightful owner, not the third party.
(Sorry rushed)
The same holds true for a human shield. His body is stolen property. His right against theft and damage only applies to the thief, not to a third party. Therefore Target has every right to defend himself even if that means shooting through Bystander.
God, I hate Block's style of argument.
First of all, this paper is a great illustration of the problems that arise with extensive "armchair theorization" of legal principles. There is no clear methodology here and absent a connection to the real world (real disputes), it is not clear that these arguments can even conceivably apply to real-world scenarios.
Second, there is a failure to distinguish between the prima facie legal context as spelled out by Hoppe (that, by definition, you can't aggress in the course of making an argument, that you can't posit absolute communism in the course of an argument since your opponent must have enough property rights over himself to at least be sitting at the arbitrator's table and arguing in his own stead, etc.) and law-as-an-a-priori discipline, which it is not. Law - like physics or any science - has, of course, an a priori foundation. But it does not follow that law is a "deductive science" like praxeology is.
The "meta-legal" issues of law are a priori... but the normative content of law can only be determined through experiment, where by 'experiment' we mean real (in situ) data, not the in vitro "data" of lab experiments (e.g. the Stanford prison "experiment") which cannot maintain the absolute ceteris paribus that would be required to generate any useful data for legal disputes.
The problem with these Blockean gedankenexperiments is that they start from the events under discussion and seek to answer the (normative) question "who was right/wrong?" But what is really needed for a scientific legal theory is to start the gedankenexperiment from the arbitrator's table... A and B are seated across from each other. B says A was in the wrong. A says B was in the wrong. Who should the competent arbitrator agree with? That is the only proper legal gedankenexperiment. These disembodied arguments are at least usless, if not misleading and damaging.
Clayton -
Is this where he talks about negative homesteading? I think he does an awful disservice to homesteading with it.
Ok, so Target is liable for the damage to the coffee table. I can deal with that. Through arbitration he would have to pay for its restoration or replacement.
Now what if Bystander himself is the human shield rather than his coffee table. Target is liable for the damage to Bystander himself. If Bystander is killed, what restitution would Target owe? What would an arbitrator say? Would insurance play a major role?
Wheylous, I'm not digging the homesteading angle either.
Yes, Target is liable for damages to both person or property of bystander. Now the target may/will have a legitimate claim against the aggressor for damages to the bystander.
The restitution would be determined by the arbitrator. The critical theme is arbitrary.
The role of insurance is between the isurer and insured. That would depend on their agreement.
"The restitution would be determined by the arbitrator. The critical theme is arbitrary."
Yah, I get that. I just didn't have any idea how to value restitution for collateral death. I assume it would be bad for an arbitrator to say a totally random number WRT restitution. How might it play out?
I think questions like this must be couched in a framework that includes insurance/protection firms.
I assume that Bystander's protection service would pay his beneficiaries for the death. Then the firm would seek monetary compensation from Aggressor and maybe from Target. Aggressor's defense firm would not protect him (at least not to a degree), so Bystander's firm would be able to seize Aggressor's assets to pay for some portion of his crime (theft of life, I suppose). The question of Target's culpability would be settled at arbitration between the protection firms.
So in this scenario, the restitution is not punitive at all. It is merely to restore the cost of Bystander's insurance benefits and the cost of collection.
That has serious implications. If a person is murdered without insurance, his family has no known cost to recoup. It would seem impossible for an arbitrator to accurately value his loss of life. I assume there would be negotiation between individuals and/or their protection firms. Either they agree to a payment (0 or otherwise) or they fight.
Just kinda thinking out loud here..
OK just at the outset I have issues with "negative homesteading" and "libertarian law"
That is before we even come to the point of Block having to assume the scenario happens on unowned land- that is like Chicagoans having to assume an evenly rotating economy for their study to be relevant. Or for chess players to discuss how the rules of chess apply to playing waterpolo.
1. I dispute that there can be any form of "negative homesteading" as suggested by Block.
In standard or "positive homesteading" a person voluntarily finds a property that his intelligence tells him might be adapted to better use and he "mixes his talent with it" to improve it and at the same time be considered the new owner. He will likely go looking for his homestead in an area that is likely to provide good results.If he was not very intelligent and he made a bad decision, like he tries to farm pineapples in a desert or he starts a diamond mine because he saw a shiny piece of glass and the mine turns out to be dry, his homesteading is not a permanent contract that indentures him for life. He can just pack his tent back on his camel and move on. Somebody else can homestead that property for better uses for a shorter period a longer period or choose not to homestead it at all.
If in his (Block's) scenario a person is struck by lightning (or any other such negative experience) he will certainly not "mix his talents" with that so called property to homestead such a "negative homestead." He will not build a lightning attraction device on his head or make a lightning storage device that harms himself in the process of homesteading. So on the surface it does not fit the definition of homesteading. It is just what we call an accident or bad luck or the luck of the draw. Because you had bad luck, there can be no law or rule that says you now are obligated to "own" that bad luck and its consequences against your will or even that you have no right to pass on consequences.
It does remind me of a very horrible situation in South Africa though. There is an AIDS epidemic and a rumor was started that if you have AIDS and you have sex with a virgin, you can be cured. Consequently the incidence of child rape has skyrocketed.
2. There is no "libertarian law" just very interesting discussions
Yes we all agree on basic property rights and non agression. But when you start making bylaws and sublaws for specific situations you are just playing the role of another statist central planner. Some guy in a suit living in an ivory tower making superficial judgements on how to write a law that applies all the time to all citizens.
There will NEVER be exactly the same scenario of "criminal A catching shieldB threatening targetC, twice in a row..
The first time might be two convicted murderers one using the other as a shield and threatening a guard. If he dies the criminal might go on a killing spree outside
What if the hostage holder has his finger on a nuclear bomb?
Or what if it is a serial killer holding a child as a shield? If they both live many children will die.
Or what if the hostage gives you permission? Too many possibilities to come up with a "standard" response for all. Just like the president of the untited states cannot decree that henceforth all pizzas or for that matter no pizzas should contain anchovies! Many libertarian principles will need to be considered on a case by case basis and no overriding law can be made. Arbitration is not law.
Target has a right to defend himself. Target is also liable for any collateral damage. Generally he wouldnt be liable for punitive damages unless he was negligent in some way, over and above the necessary actions for self-defense. Bystander has a stronger claim for damages against Aggressor than he does against target. "Aggressor grabbed my table and put it in a place where he knew or should have known that it would be damaged."

"Aggressor grabbed my table and put it in a place where he knew or should have known that it would be damaged."
This really is unbelievable and I do not understand why I keep seeing this kind of thing pop up around here. Why would Target be liable for the damages when it was the assassin who made him act in self defense? The would-be killer is the one who should be liable for damages to the coffee table. This seems so obvious to me.
Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under - Mencken
It seems to me that the coffee table and the hostage are not analagous. The hostage is not property, whether or no they are being compelled; they are still a human being.
The individual actions taken during this incident would have to be separated into segments and analyzed. The initial aggression against the hostage; that's obviously the aggressor's fault. The aggressor's action against the Target; that, too, falls on the aggressor.
The Target has defended themselves via a shoot-through. They have therefore taken action against two individuals too: one who is an aggressor using deadly force (justifiable), and one who is not. I am assuming the hostage is complying due to an immediate threat of death. It appears to me that BOTH the Target and the aggressor are responsible equally for the death of the hostage in this case. Just as they might be if a bystander was shot during the confrontation, perhaps.
However if the hostage is complying due to a less direct aggression or threat of aggression (say a threat against their property or person but not a death threat) than the one that the Target has responded to, that might complicate matters somewhat. The hostage, in my opinion, begins to bear some blame if they aren't in as much trouble as the Target is.
Does this seem rational?
(Edit. I think the incident has to be separated into segments primarily because although the Target's choices are limited by the aggression, they are not necessarily limited to ONE possible response. Unless it were possible to prove that ONLY a shoot-through would save him, we must assume he selected that as the most expedient of a multiplicity of choices. Thus he must be responsible for the result of his action. Yes?)
This notion seems to fit well the operations of palestinian and lebanese terrorist groups, that use civilians as body shields against the israeli military.
International press and U.N. resolutions are usually much more negative towards the collateral damage produced by sionist actions, even when this collateral damage is enhanced by the arabists themselves.

i turned the limb bolts out just until i could see through the barrel nut and i was able to put the tension from the y-cable. i re-set the screws on the module and set the cable to the stnd-peg. it wasnt easy but you really dont need a press!!! (i believe its much more comfortable with a press though)
here are the pics, i hope the cam is set correctly now!!
