Welfare Effects of Immigration in a Dual Labor Market
The paper analyses the welfare effects of immigration when some sectors of the economy are characterized by wage bargaining between unions and employers. We show that immigration is unambiguously beneficial if the wage elasticity of labor demand in the competitive sectors is smaller than in the unionised sectors. In the opposite case, the welfare effect of immigrat ion is ambiguous; little immigration then reduces the native population's welfare, whereas large scale immigration tends to enhance welfare.

I hit the end of the off ramp, doing about 40, with one wheel crooked, and no brakes... Wasnt fun. Anyway, that was yesterday, the axles allready out, and I'm picking up a set of 60's from the salvage yard this morning... $1000 for both axles, complete with brakes, and 4.09/4.10's...(And disc rear) So not bad at all. My question is, what am I going to need for the swap? Will my stock driveshafts bolt up, or am I going to have to have some made? Pretty much, besides for the axles, what do I need?

When all is said and done Little George Bush will not be remembered for his response to 9/11, the Iraq war, the two Supreme Court justices he appoints, or even hurricane Katrina. I predict in fifteen years Little Bush will be remembered as the president that ushered in one of the most important Baby Booms in American history. I have no statistics to back this up yet. But the anecdotal evidence for it is overwhelming. On my block alone there were 7 new babies in the past 18 months, after not seeing any for years. I have never seen so many pregnant women as I have this summer in Pittsburgh, and even the nurses I have interviewed at local hospitals have said they noticed it too. So if it is true that we have had a baby boom in the past two years, WHY?
Low mortgage rates for over four years. Thank you George W.
When home mortgages remain at such low rates, more people buy homes and more people upgrade their homes with home equity loans. And people who own homes and have larger homes can more easily raise children. Like bowerbirds who decorate their nests to attract mates, Americans who own homes can attract mates or influence mates to have children. First comes love, then comes Alan Greenspan's mortgage rates, then comes baby in the baby carriage.
All this burgeoning home ownership has happened under the auspices of Little George Bush, whose 2000 campaign hinged on his promise to increased home ownership. And he kept that promise. So don't be surprised if this baby boom goes down in history as the Bush Baby Boom. Since there is nothing that stimulates the optimism necessary to have children like owning your own home.
Wars, hurricanes, and gas prices are all quickly forgotten. But our kids stick with us for the long haul. In a decade or so the only Katrina anyone will know will be the cute girl who sits in the front row of the algebra class in Biloxi or Huntsville or Dallas. The big question though, is if Little George will keep good on his other promise to repair public education, so all these new kids have a chance to compete in our new high-science "flat" world, as Thomas Friedman calls it. If not, in twenty years today's cute little babies will be working for the Red Chinese… cooking American takeout. Chop Chop.Powered by Sidelines

Organized Uncertainty by Michael Power
Book DescriptionSince the mid-1990s risk management has undergone a dramatic expansion in its reach and significance, being transformed from an aspect of management control to become a benchmark of good governance for banks, hospitals, schools, charities, and many other organizations. Numerous standards for risk management practice have been produced by a variety of transnational organizations. While these many designs and blueprints are accompanied by ideals of enterprise, value production, and good governance, it is argued that the rise of risk management has also coincided with an intensification of auditing and control processes. The legalization and bureacratization of organizational life has increased because risk management has created new demands for proof and evidence of action. In turn, these demands have generated new risks to reputation. In short, this important book traces the rise of the managerial concept of risk and the different logics and values which underpin it, showing that it has much less to do with real dangers and opportunities than might be thought, and more to do with organizational accountability and legitimacy.

Freaks and Geeks will certainly capture the heart of anyone who came of age in the late '70s and early '80s (it's set in 1980) and should ring true for anyone whose high school memories have not been totally sublimated...One of the few shows this season that's left me waiting anxiously for week two.

"Soul Food" has its share of soap-opera moments and predictable story threads. ... But the moments in "Soul Food" that bode best for the series' future are the ones that don't try so hard, that show the Josephs struggling to remain a family despite the forces pulling them apart. It's moments like those that give their story strength and should keep viewers anxious to find out what happens next. [28 Jun 2000]

The OECD has issued the "White Paper on Transfer Pricing Documentation" outlining ideas for new global standards for the annual transfer pricing documentation exercise required by more than 60 countries.
While this is only a scoping paper that is not self-implementing, given the momentum behind the BEPS Action Plan and its tight deadline, multinationals may face increasing documentation requirements as soon as next year.
Issued just two weeks after the OECD released the "Action Plan on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting," the White Paper is part of the larger BEPS Action Plan initiative to reduce what the OECD deems to be "double non-taxation" – corporate income that is untaxed by any country – that has led to political outcries in Europe, the US and emerging markets.
The main thrust of the White Paper is to increase the visibility of a multinational's transfer pricing and tax positions to all relevant tax authorities around the world, enabling tax authorities to more easily identify those transactions that require greater scrutiny. The White Paper recommendations would place increased burdens on taxpayers, making the transfer pricing documentation process both more expensive and time consuming. While the OECD recommendations are not binding on member (or non-member) countries, the recommendations will likely serve as a blueprint for countries to adopt local rules via legislation or regulations implementing the recommended changes to transfer pricing documentation.
The White Paper notes that transfer pricing documentation requirements have been around for nearly 20 years, being first introduced in the US in 1994. Since then, numerous countries have implemented transfer pricing documentation requirements, often with differing requirements, creating a labyrinth of annual filing requirements often costing companies several hundred thousand dollars a year to produce.
The White Paper lists several shortcomings of the current global documentation standards, most notably:
The last point is particularly important, because it ties into a major theme of the BEPS Action Plan: to give tax authorities stronger tools so that they may ensure that corporate income is subject to taxation based on the economic activities that give rise to that income, thereby reducing "double non-taxation."
What the White Paper recommends
Building on the BEPS Action Plan, the White Paper recommends that documentation should
The key conclusion of the White Paper is that "It seems possible for businesses to provide without undue burden individual country data …with a general sense as to how their global income is allocated and where pressure points in the transfer pricing arrangements might lie."
With that in mind, the White Paper recommends that the OECD working group develop a two-tiered approach by the BEPS Action Plan deadline of September 2014. In particular, the White Paper suggests a global documentation package, or "master file," accessible to tax authorities in every jurisdiction where a multinational does business.
This master file would include:
This master file would be supplemented with local files, similar in nature to existing transfer pricing documentation standards. The local file would list and describe each related party transaction relevant to a particular country and its conformity with the arm's length standard.
In preparing the White Paper, the OECD Secretariat conducted a few interviews with multinationals to identify key taxpayer issues with documentation. Notably, several taxpayer issues that would have reduced the compliance burden, including greater use of regional rather than country-specific comparables and relaxing the need for local translation, were rejected. In addition, the White Paper does not address several other important issues, among them materiality thresholds, timing standards and the role of penalties.
Multinationals will have additional opportunities to comment at a public consultation to be held in Paris in November of this year.

There used to be bells and interesting statues here, but everything seems to have gone away. The building itself is historic, and the Panthay Revolt is definitely worth learning about.
The museum is free and has virtually noting displayed. It was originally a home of Dali warlord but nothing remains of this period. The main significance is the remaining wall surrounding the museum
This museum houses artifacts of jade, porcelain, bronze, stone tablets, etc, of the Dali and Nanzhou kingdoms. They also showcase the customs and cultures of the Bai community who are the ethnic group here. Quite interesting but only visit if you are in the area or am a history buff.
This municipal museum has exhibits on various periods of the long and tortuous history of the region.
Hardly any explanations are in English however and many rooms are poorly lit.
This shows a lot of Chinese film and it's history including projectors and 16mm cameras, but mainly there is too much propaganda that will bore you at times.
A very local museum with limited English translations. Nonetheless a very good collection of local artifacts from the neolithic to the present. Extensive ceramic collection well presented. Free entry. Closed Mondays.
nothing special, it's small, not a lot of things to see, crowded with chinese (ofcourse) but it's free so why not taking a look :) it's okay, so-so museum.
I think there's a nominal charge of Y10 for entrance, but early in the morning they waved us through. There are attractive courtyards in traditional style, but not much on display, though my wife loved the ceramic figures of warriors, buddhas, and beautiful court ladies from the Song (?) dynasty.
Worth a stroll through if you want a break from...
I Think the objects the Museum shows are very nice but it is presented in such a boring way and almost no description in English! The room for Calligraphy has nice paintings, but I have seen better museums in China!
The museum itself is small and simple. They have an amazing collection of statues on the top floor. Recommended to visit when in Dalhi.

How a start-up got companies like Apple, Amazon and Google to trust it with their office secrets
It was Anne Toth's first week at Slack, and she already had a crisis on her hands. "TeamNameGate," she now calls the episode.
Last October, a blogger pointed out that Slack, a workplace chat platform that is popular with companies from Google to Nordstroms, was bleeding potentially sensitive information. Entering an e-mail address with a company's domain into the Slack welcome screen showed the names of all of the company's "teams," which in some cases reflected what their employees were working on. It included boring, obvious stuff like "Corporate Revenue Group" but also, potentially, secret projects or unannounced acquisitions. Google's Slack group, for example, contained a room devoted to Tribe Wearables, a small start-up making tech-embedded clothes that track activity. "Does that mean they acquired this company?" asked tech gossip blog Valleywag.
Toth, who had worked on privacy and user trust at Yahoo for 13 years and headed privacy for Google+, had been hired to help Slack avoid privacy mistakes or smooth things over if they were made. Start-ups of Slack's size, with just 97 employees, usually outsource such things to an outside law firm, but Slack decided it needed a full-time privacy pro.
The stakes are high, after all. In less than a year, Slack has become the caretaker of workplace conversations of huge companies, media organizations, and non-profits. Now valued at over a billion dollars, Slack has convinced 365,000 people to start using its platform for workplace chatter, moving their discussions of gripes, mistakes, industry gossip, future plans, and confidential data out of their e-mail accounts and into Slack's cloud. Imagine the secrets of BuzzFeed, Apple, Amazon, Uber, Gawker, HBO and the Wall Street Journal all spilling into public view tomorrow. (Not to mention Fusion's—we use Slack, too.) Slack's privacy and security team is responsible for making sure all these companies don't find out how Sony Pictures feels.
Slack said the team name exposure was a feature—making it easier for a new user to sign up—not a bug, but the company quickly changed it. "Before I could finish a blog post about it," said Toth. "An engineer had already fixed it. The nice thing about being at a company Slack's size is how nimble it is."
Slack is an awesome workplace collaboration tool. It has experienced rapid growth in its first year because its ease-of-use is addictive, and because chatting with colleagues in groups in real time is so much better and less overwhelming than the oppressive onslaught of e-mail. But as Slack lures employees away from email—which companies often host on their own servers—their sensitive, confidential data is resting instead in the Slack cloud.
The summer before Toth was hired, Slack decided to analyze the messages in that cloud for a frivolous reason. It wanted to see how often its hundreds of thousands of users were using emoji, and which ones they were using. It found emoji had been used over 16 million times by Slack users, and that the least-loved emoji was a plain white square (◽), which appeared in workplace conversations just 35 times. Slack tweeted about it:
In November, during the height of the craze over the true crime podcast "Serial," Slack considered doing another customer data dive to reveal the number of teams that had created a dedicated channel for "Did Adnan do it or not?" discussions. But Slack decided against it.
"We didn't want to set a precedent or make people feel icky about our scanning their messages," says Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield. Slack doesn't even scan for uploads of copyrighted material or child porn, despite the fact that many communication platforms such as Google and Facebook do. Toth says that pro-active screening of content is "tricky, costly and controversial." "We're not planning on any kind of message review," says Butterfield. "We don't want to be in the business of reading people's messages."
"We don't want to be in the business of reading people's messages."
While Slack doesn't read customers' messages, it does monitor their activity. For example, one customer had a Slack room filling up with a million messages daily. The customer had set up an auto-import of certain tweets. "The storage space they were using cost more than they were paying us, so we asked them to disable it," says Butterfield. Sometimes that monitoring can benefit customers; Slack issued more than a million dollars in refunds last year for users who went inactive for two or more weeks.
Slack is well aware that its continued growth is dependent on hackers and snoopers not getting access to its customers' chatter. Messages sent via Slack are encrypted in transit. The company has regular security audits and gives bounties to white-hat hackers who find vulnerabilities in the product. (So far, those hackers have mostly found ways that a malicious member of a customer's team could get access to colleagues' messages he's not supposed to be able to see.) Butterfield promises that two-factor authentication — where log-in requires both a password and a code sent to a user's phone — is in the pipeline, though the company doesn't have a delivery date yet. Slack itself, like some of its customers, now forces its employees to sign into Slack with Google 'Single Sign-on,' which does have two-factor authentication. The company hasn't had a major security crisis yet. "The primary security concern from customers is that a 15-year-old contractor set up their Slack account and now they need to change ownership," Toth says.
Slack also has controls to protect customers from its own employees—a concern made painfully evident last year by the uproar over an Uber employee looking at a journalist's ride history. A tiered access system means that a small number of employees are able to access the message database. Most employees have access only to a tool that shows user names, names of teams and names of channels. Any engineer who wants to deploy new code—code that could effect the privacy of a particular account for example—needs to get sign-off from someone else on the team. "When employees do access customer information, everything is logged and audited," says Butterfield. Toth adds: "It's a combination of technical limitations and policy restrictions. All the big companies ask the same security questions. We're getting pretty good at answering them."
Slack's economic model has a privacy downside for those not paying for the product. Only paying customers have access to their archives and the ability to delete old conversations. Non-paying users (who make up the majority using Slack) only have access to their last 10,000 messages. All the messages over that count are archived by Slack, but exist in an inaccessible limbo. To delete an old message, a non-paying team on Slack would need to fork over a credit card or close — and delete — their entire account. It's confusing, so Slack set up a "Team Settings" page that any user can check to see what happens to their messages. "It's hard for people to keep all this privacy nuance clear in their minds so we wanted to lay it out very clearly," says Butterfield.
Ironically, given that she was a privacy hire, Toth's biggest project since joining Slack has been to prepare users for a less-private version of Slack. Historically, those who started a private channel or had a one-on-one conversation to bitch about their workplace, and co-workers didn't have to worry about their colleagues—or the boss—reading what they'd written. Administrators of a Slack account couldn't read private messages or access messages in channels they didn't belong to. "We use Slack ourselves," says Butterfield. "We always had the expectation we could send messages that other people couldn't see. I wanted to be able to talk to a co-founder without another co-founder seeing it."
Now, though, premium users have the ability to export all of the messages from an account, including messages that were edited or deleted. Some of Slack's potential customers—such as banks—needed this power for compliance and regulatory reasons. "We had to overhaul the privacy and security policies because we were offering features that were inconsistent with the terms in place," says Toth. "Private conversations that weren't accessible needed to be stored by some companies. You're taking something that was a right of a user and diluting it. We wanted to be really upfront and clear about that."
The move wasn't popular with bloggers, inspiring headlines like, "Slack alters privacy policy to let bosses read your messages." "I didn't like that it led to headlines like that," said Butterfield. It will not apply retroactively, he points out, or allow for real-time monitoring, and the Slackbot—a programmable virtual assistant available to everyone on the platform—will tell users if their administrator has enabled the feature. "We want employees to be aware that 'compliance export' is on so we will warn them," says Toth. "Slack is a water cooler. We want them to know who's at the cooler."
"Slack is a water cooler. We want them to know who's at the cooler."
Toth's career in privacy started as a fluke. When Yahoo first got into the webmail business in the late 90s, it hired Toth — who had experience in economic research — as a data miner. But in 1998, the year she started, regulators started flipping out about tech companies' data collection — such as online games asking kids mid-play what their family's worth was — so Yahoo's general counsel asked her instead to look at what the company wasn't allowed to do with the data. She wound up managing privacy and user trust at Yahoo. "I didn't expect it would be my job for the rest of my career," she says.
She and Butterfield first worked together in 2005 when Yahoo bought his Canada-based company Flickr and needed to migrate all of its data into the U.S. "It was kind of a big deal because Canadians were (rightfully) concerned about the US government poking through their photos ," says Toth. She left Yahoo in 2011 to join Google to manage privacy at Plus, a social network with elaborate privacy controls, but stayed for only a year. "I needed to leave to take care of my mother," she says. She began consulting with start-ups. "Usually, companies would come to me when something horrible had happened and they were in a world of pain," she says. After she saw the Wired profile of Butterfield last summer that talked about how fast Slack was growing, she reached out to let him know she was available if they wanted a privacy consultant before a crisis hit. "He surprised me by saying, 'Come work for me full-time,'" says Toth. "He wanted me to create a culture of awareness of privacy and security."
Toth makes sure she's at the Slack water cooler every time colleagues talk about something that should concern her. She gets an alert anytime her colleagues use words like "privacy" or "policy" in Slack. "I pop into the channel and say hey," she says. "It makes my job a lot easier."
Even with reassurances that their data is safe in Slack's hands, some customers have asked whether Slack would let them store the content of their accounts on their own servers, rather than on Slack's cloud. "It's possible that we'd do this in the future, but we have no specific plans at this point," says Butterfield.
That issue hasn't come to a head yet, because Slack hasn't had an intruder break into its system yet nor fought a legal battle to protect what's in its cloud. The company hasn't received any government requests for data. "We know it's likely to happen at some point," says Toth. She says Slack's plan is to notify clients if law enforcement asks for their messages—if there's not a gag attached to the order—and let them handle the request.
As she packed up her belongings to head off to teach a spin class, Toth pointed to a black "come back with a warrant" sticker on her desk and laughed. "We're ready."

The A Mill was not only the largest flour mill in the world when it opened in 1881, it was one of the few architect-designed mills in Minneapolis, designed by Leroy S. Buffington. As such it was an industrial show piece and tourist attraction from the start. The Pillsbury A Mill ceased operation in 2003, and in 2015, the complex was redeveloped as affordable lofts for working artists by Dominium, a Minneapolis-based developer.

Guys, do you really need all that features , besides a good DAC+AMP+EQ and >10hours battery life ? O, I forgod, a veeeeery useful feature, coaxial output... From a dap... Come on, guys, be more pragmatic, why the hell you might need a coaxial output when even laptops nowadays have coaxial out.

I am a huge lover of fruit, but sometimes I get frustrated when I go shopping I can't buy the fruit all at once because it goes bad so fast. Well, here is a very easy produce wash that you can use for vegetables and fruit! I use it for my fruit, and it does help keep the fruit from molding and going bad as quick. I just tried this for the first time earlier and it does work nicely. It helps preserve the fruit as well as cleans it. The gross thing is, after I washed the fruit, you could see stuff in the water, and discoloration from the fruit.
Wash That Helps Fruit Last Longer
When I was researching for a vinegar fruit wash, I was hoping it would be a nice fix to my fruit going bad before I have time to eat it. This is a very easy wash and works great! All you use is water and vinegar! You use 1 part vinegar and 3 parts water! I was hoping that by soaking my fruit in this wash, it wouldn't pick up the flavor of vinegar! It didn't leave any vinegar taste in the fruit at all!! Some people said it can leave your berries from molding for up to 3 weeks. Granted I can't vouch for that as I don't have fruit for that long hanging around ;-)!
This makes me happy and is a great time to know this, since it is time to start working on the garden, and it can help preserve our fruits and veggies! So below is how I cleaned my fruit with this wash.
- Water
- Vinegar
- Fruit or Veggies
- Bowl
- {Strainer|http://amzn.to/24QLqvk}
- Towel or Salad Spinner
- Depending on how much fruit and veggies you have to wash, it will depend on how much water and vinegar you need.
- You want 3 parts water and 1 part vinegar. So what that means is 3 cups water and then 1 cup vinegar.
- Add the water and vinegar in a bowl, toss your fruit in or your vegetables.
- Allow them to sit for about 15-20 minutes. Feel free to mix it around here and there while it is soaking.
- Then once done soaking pour fruit into a strainer and rinse the fruit or vegetables. Then drain produce the best you can, and lay the produce on a towel to dry. This is an important step, it will help keep it from molding and such so fast.
- Once dry, you can place in a bag or a container or how you normally store produce.
Feel free to Pin this on Pinterest, so you can remember this next time you have produce on hand!

Re: Which tour should we do?
Hi - welcome to VT! If I had to choose between the two, I'd choose Biblical Ephesus. The distances between the cities in the first tour would lead me to believe that you will be spending more time in the bus and less time at Ephesus.
That being said, I would not do either one. You will spend so much more time waiting around for people on a tour and seeing exactly what the guides show you. And you definitely want to avoid the carpet sales pitch!!
It is very easy to get around and do a tour of the area on your own. I would suggest this: beat the crowds off the ship and get a taxi* to take you directly to Ephesus. Have the driver drop you at the "top" and meet him at the bottom where you will end up. Get the audio guides at the entrance. This will allow you to go at your own pace and see what you want. (You can also get a licensed guide but those tours may also have many people since cruise ships will be in port.) While inside Ephesus, spend the extra and see the terrace houses. They are fascinating and I'm sure that either of the tours you mention do not include visiting the terrace houses.
After you visit Ephesus, go to the House of the Virgin Mary, then to the Ephesus Museum. You can stop for lunch in Selcuk which is only a few kilometers away. There are plenty of nice restaurants with outside seating and excellent food. After lunch head to Basilica of St. John, Isa Bey Mosque, and the Temple of Artemis. All are very close and you won't need more than a couple of hours to explore all 3. After that you can head back to the port for some shopping or depending on how much time are in port, do a little shopping in Selcuk. The area of restaurants and shops is a pedestrian zone. You can adjust this itinerary depending on how much time you have.
If you want to hire a taxi/driver before you cruise, check out www.cruisecritic.com. Go to the site, then boards, then ports of call, then Europe, then Other Mediterranean Ports. Read the reviews of drivers/guides in Kusadasi and contact the drivers directly. You can also post any questions there and see what others have done.
You will get so much more out of a tour on your own and it will be a fraction of the cost. Have a great cruise!

Re: Which tour should we do?
I didn't take an organized tour at all. Most cruises can link you up with carriers that will take you to the site and return then once there you are free to wander at your own pace. There are (well, used to be anyway) audio headsets available to provide your own self guided tour.
Based on the amount of information you've presented you've already taken the tour from a tour guide perspective, now you just need to see it for yourself. It's quite impressive.

Re: Which tour should we do?
Okay, I've cruised into Kusadasi several times and each time I've taken the straight Ephesus tour ---no other places! Other passengers have enjoyed the Biblical tour. So, if you want a longer tour then I would suggest your Biblical Tour...
...However, many Eastern Med. Sea cruises stop at Kusadasi ...so you'll probably see Ephesus again plus have the choices again if you cruise in the Mad again.
My advice: do Ephesus and do the Biblical tour on your second visit.

Fabio Capello lived up to his reputation as a ruthless manager yesterday by stripping John Terry of the England captaincy without even questioning the player over the scandal that has gripped English football or giving him the opportunity to plead his case.
Capello simply told Terry that the furore around him was in danger of damaging the England team's prospects at the World Cup finals this summer and that it was in the team's best interests that he step down. A source close to the England manager said: "It was not one specific problem, it was everything. The situation was becoming worse every day."
Rio Ferdinand was appointed Terry's successor on a day when Capello confirmed beyond doubt that he is a no-nonsense operator. Having been expected to allow Terry to put his side of the story, the England manager made it quite clear that he had made his decision before his meeting with the player shortly after 2pm yesterday.
There was no forensic cross-examination of the allegations that Terry had had an affair with Vanessa Perroncel, the ex-fiancée of his England team-mate Wayne Bridge, and there was no discussion of how that might affect the compatibility of the pair as players. Instead Capello said that he believed the scandal was harmful to the team and that it would be best if Terry was moved aside.
According to sources, Terry was respectful and quiet in the meeting. He was said to be relieved that he would still be part of the England team and promised, according to sources, "to be focused on being the best player he could be for England and Chelsea".
There is no suggestion Capello asked Terry in any detail about the allegations that his private box at Wembley had been touted against the rules of the stadium, which is owned by the Football Association. Those allegations emerged yesterday morning but it would appear Capello had made up his mind on Terry's future long before then.
There was no offer from Capello for Terry to tender his resignation. Rather, the England manager said it was "his decision" that the player step down. Capello thanked him for his contribution as captain and the meeting was civil and calm, according to sources.
At no point did Terry make any apology and there was nothing in his statement after the meeting that expressed remorse or took responsibility for his actions. His replacement with Ferdinand as England captain means that he will not be under any obligation to speak before or after the friendly against Egypt on 3 March.
To add to the drama, while the meeting was taking place in Capello's office at Wembley Stadium, an announcement was made by the publicist Max Clifford on behalf of his client Perroncel to say she would not be speaking about the episode. There is speculation regarding whether she may have come to a financial agreement with Terry.
It has been concerns such as those that more details are likely to emerge that has been the driving force in Capello making his decision to sack Terry now. Those close to the England manager said that he could not risk further disclosures contributing to the sense of chaos around Terry.
Those close to Capello said he had taken a great deal of thought over the wording of the statement which was subsequently released to explain the decision. "Every word has been chosen for a reason," said one source. The key line is said to be Capello's assertion that the decision was in the interests of what was "best for all of the England team".
The vocabulary and grammar of the statement is imperfect and suggests Capello and advisers such as Franco Baldini permitted only minimal input from the FA. Capello said: "After much thought, I have made the decision that it will be best for me to take the captaincy away from John Terry.
"As a captain with the team, John Terry has displayed extremely positive behaviour. However, I have to take into account other considerations and what is best for all of the England squad. What is best for all of the England team has inspired my choice. John Terry was notified first. When I chose John Terry as captain, I also selected a vice-captain and also named a third choice. There is no reason to change this decision.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank the FA, particularly [chairman] Lord David [sic] Triesman and [chief executive] Ian Watmore for allowing me to make this decision in my own time and in the best interest of the team."
It is understood Watmore joined the meeting after Capello had talked Terry through his decision. The attitude among Capello and his advisers is that there is no issue with Bridge being picked for future England squads. Bridge was part of the Manchester City squad who watched the news break live on TV as they travelled to Hull ahead of their game today.
Terry was driven to the meeting direct from Chelsea's Cobham training ground but not before a decoy car had been used in an attempt to give reporters and photographers the slip. In a statement yesterday, Terry did not make any apology. "I fully respect Fabio Capello's decision," he said. "I will continue to give everything for England."
Ferdinand was not informed that he had got the captaincy until after the meeting. Steven Gerrard, who originally lost out to Terry when Steve McClaren named the latter captain for the first time in August 2006, will be the vice-captain of the team.
End of the affair Terry's reported misdemeanors
*August 2009
Reappointed England captain after Fabio Capello trialled others. Was first appointed by Steve McClaren in 2006.
*November 2009
PR company Riviera Entertainment circulate a release touting for corporate endorsements for the "captain of England and Chelsea" .
*December 2009
Accused of charging £10,000 for secret tours of Chelsea's training ground. Terry claims the money was for charity.
*January 2010
Named as the sportsman behind a super-injunction. After this is lifted it is claimed he had an affair with Vanessa Perroncel, the ex-fiancée of former team-mate Wayne Bridge and mother of Bridge's child.
*February 2010
It is claimed Terry's executive box at Wembley – which he is able to rent at a discount because of his status as England captain – is being offered for use at £4,000 a match, cash. This is contrary to his contract with the stadium.
JT's PR crisis: Could his people have done better?
*David Beckham is advised by Simon Fuller, of 19 Entertainment, a global talent management company.
*The publicity and endorsements of Michael Owen and Alan Shearer are handled by the established Wasserman Media Group.
*Since August John Terry has been advised by Elite Management, a smaller agency which has seemed out of its depth. However, Tiger Woods is managed by IMG, the world's biggest management company, so size is not everything.
Terry's key advisers are:
*Keith Cousins (Elite Management), chairman of Rushden & Diamonds, background in film and clothing.
*Paul Nicholls (Elite Management), non-League goalkeeper, old friend and former youth team-mate of Terry's at Chelsea.
*Phil Hall, former editor of the News of the World, belatedly taken on to manage Terry's PR.

Just days after reavowing his commitment to non-commitment by saying stable families were more important than the institution of marriage, Ed Miliband wed his long-term partner Justine Thornton yesterday in a low-key civil ceremony.
Posing for photos on the wind-swept drive to a country house hotel near Nottingham, the Labour leader wore a bold blue suit from Aquascutum, paired with a pale-blue tie. Ms Thornton wore a floor-length ivory dress by the designer Alice Temperley.
At the couple's insistence, the wedding was kept as private as is possible when the bridegroom is the Leader of the Opposition. Screens were put up around the building to thwart long lenses, which were only welcomed during a slightly awkward and windblown photocall.
The event was strictly limited to friends and family members, including their two small sons. Just 50 people watched the couple say their vows (minus any promise to obey). The only MP among guests was David Miliband, who arrived with his wife, Louise, wearing a pink tie – and a grin to rival the size of his younger brother's.
The 25-minute ceremony, conducted by a local registrar, included readings of the poem "I Carry Your Heart With Me", by EE Cummings and an extract from the best-selling novel Captain Corelli's Mandolin.
The couple decided not to have a best man at the wedding – despite the younger Miliband carrying out that duty for his brother – or bridesmaids. The only speeches were delivered by the Labour leader and his new wife, who will use her maiden name in her professional life as a barrister.
Mr Miliband said that they wanted their wedding day to be appropriate to a couple in their 40s who already have children. Last night they were heading on a short honeymoon – and will hold a party in the Labour leader's Doncaster constituency when they return.

Are American films any worse now than they used to be? It's tempting to name a year and suggest that, before this point, movies were better, but is the idea of Transformers being nominated for an Oscar any crazier than Dr Dolittle making the Best Picture list four decades earlier? There have been key periods, though, when Hollywood has experienced a sea change. In 1981, after Raiders of the Lost Ark won Best Picture, there was a shift away from films with a demanding European aesthetic, towards merchandisable matinee popcorn. In 1967, Mark Harris argues, there was another pivotal moment, as studio-generated epics gave way to smaller films that reflected the countercultural thirst for change.
It's a good hook and one that serves the author well. After all, as well as Dr Dolittle, the four other Best Picture nominees that year were Bonnie & Clyde, The Graduate, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and the winner, In the Heat of the Night. Two of these reflected changing attitudes to race: Dinner was a plea for tolerance and acceptance in the form of an old-fashioned suburban comedy, the idea being that the world's most famous couple, Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn, invite the world's most famous black actor, Sidney Poitier, to become part of their family. It seemed condescending and schematic even at the time of its release. In the Heat of the Night, also starring Poitier, was set in the deep South and appropriately angrier. It mirrored the growing refusal of young blacks to remain complacent in the face of endemic racism. Not that this stopped more militant African-Americans from accusing Poitier of showcasing himself as a "good nigger" to appeal to a prevailing white sense of superiority.
The Graduate took advantage of changing censorship laws to examine sexual issues with a new level of sophistication and frankness. During production the script seemed mystifying and bleak, even to the cast. Mike Nichols, the director, announced "I'm thinking of using these two kids for the music – one tall and one small." Simon and Garfunkel focused attention on the hypersensitive young lead Dustin Hoffman, and the movie suddenly revealed a logical core. One wonders how The Graduate would have fared if it had been required to supply a soundtrack based on the contractual obligations of modern studios.
In Texas, the stars of Bonnie & Clyde listened to the stories of those who remembered the outlaws, and though the film turned Clyde heterosexual, it kept the sense of grievance felt by ordinary citizens who were foreclosed by the banks and who supported the robbers. It was a modest domestic hit, but European fans followed its fashions.
The odd film out – the one which reflected nothing at all of the changing world – was Dr Dolittle, a painful whimsy representative of a last-ditch attempt by studios to foist bloated "event" musicals on the public in the wake of The Sound of Music's success. The production was scuppered by Rex Harrison's capricious behaviour and the difficulty of working with live animals, and it had a horrible score that failed to spawn a single hit. Nevertheless, after a prolonged marketing campaign it went on to win two Academy Awards, and compared to Eddie Murphy's later lavatorial versions of the Hugh Lofting books, it seems a minor masterpiece.
Scenes from a Revolution weaves the development of these five films together, from script-stage through casting and production to the aftermaths of their releases, and contains enough tantrums, firings and exposed star insecurities to thrill the most jaded Hollywood-watcher. Peter Biskind's Easy Riders, Raging Bulls described how independent films revitalised a moribund industry by putting it back in touch with its grass-roots audience. Mark Harris is a less vitriolic chronicler, and is more intent on describing the difficulties of keeping an idea in place when so many unexpected elements derail good intentions.
It's a terrifically enjoyable read, but I kept wondering, was 1967 really such a pivotal year for Hollywood? Change takes time, and the following year two musicals, two historical dramas and an art film were nominated for Best Picture. By 1969, Costa-Gavras's political thriller Z and Midnight Cowboy were still vying against a western, a musical and a royal epic. However, that was also the year in which Easy Rider appeared, confounding the studios and creating panic among executives who no longer knew what audiences wanted. By 1970 the new, cynical mood of the nation brought forth a phenomenal number of hard-edged protest and civil rights movies – but that's another story.

A conceptual framework to quantify the influence of convective boundary layer development on carbon dioxide mixing ratios
- DOI: 10.5194/acpd-11-32769-2011
Interpretation of observed diurnal carbon dioxide (CO2) mixing ratios near the surface requires knowledge of the local dynamics of the planetary boundary layer. In this paper, we study the relationship between the boundary layer dynamics and the CO2 budget in convective conditions through a newly derived set of analytical equations. From these equations, we are able to quantify how uncertainties in boundary layer dynamical variables or in the morning CO2 distribution in the mixed-layer or in the free atmosphere (FA) influence the bulk CO2 mixing ratio. We find that the largest uncertainty incurred on the mid-day CO2 mixing ratio comes from the prescribed early morning CO2 mixing ratios in the stable boundary layer, and in the free atmosphere. Errors in these values influence CO2 mixing ratios inversely proportional to the boundary layer depth (h), just like uncertainties in the assumed initial boundary layer depth and surface CO2 flux. The influence of uncertainties in the boundary layer depth itself is one order of magnitude smaller. If we "invert" the problem and calculate CO2 surface exchange from observed or simulated CO2 mixing ratios, the sensitivities to errors in boundary layer dynamics also invert: they become linearly proportional to the boundary layer depth. We demonstrate these relations for a typical well characterized situation at the Cabauw site in The Netherlands, and conclude that knowledge of the temperature and carbon dioxide profiles of the atmosphere in the early morning are of vital importance to correctly interpret observed CO2 mixing ratios during midday.

The Problem With Image Attachments In WordPress
