Excellencies, ladies and gentleman
Let me begin by thanking the African ExIM Bank, and in particular its President Jean Louis Ekra, for the invitation to address this important meeting. Mr Ekra has helped foster a strong relationship between our two institutions and it was a pleasure to host him in his capacity as honourary President of the Global Network of Eximbanks and Development Finance Institutions at its 7th annual meeting just before the opening of the UNCTAD XIII quadrennial conference in April. UNCTAD supported the creation of G-NEXID in 2006, and cooperation between the organization and G-NEXID was formalized with the signing of a memorandum of understanding in September 2011.The network is for me a clear example of the benefits to be achieved from closer south south cooperation.
Let me secondly commend the conference organizers for choosing to host this meeting in Beijing. The growing economic ties, including through trade and investment flows, between China and Africa are part of a changing global economic landscape which holds out real promise of a better future for us all. China is already Africa's leading trade partner and volumes are rising. The organisers have also taken an important step by linking South South cooperation to the opportunities and challenges of todays dynamic but unstable global economy. The discussion of south south cooperation often restricted to a debate about aid flows and effectiveness, and while that remains an important debate, I believe that the wider context is where we need to be directing our thinking about south south cooperation and it is where I will focus my remarks today.
My message on south south cooperation can best be summed up as one of cautious optimism. The developing worlds resilience to, and rebound from, the recent financial crisis certainly marks an important break with the past and holds out the hope, long held by UNCTAD, that an emerging South can bring about a more balanced and stable world economy. However, caution is warranted given that the shift in wealth has been uneven to date, with large differences among regions and countries, and because vulnerabilities remain. Even the much heralded BRICS are in reality a very diverse group of countries and experiences. Moreover, many emerging economies remain dependent on the advanced economies and vulnerable to changes in policy and conditions there, as we are now seeing with the damaging contagion from the Eurozone debt crisis. If this assessment is correct then it is crucial that policy makers across the South are not lulled in to a false sense of complacency by recent trends and that the South South agenda does not heed the siren calls of a return to "business as usual" coming from some of the leading multilateral economic institutions.
Colleagues, ladies and gentlemen
Global economic conditions in general, and those in the advanced economies in particular, have historically always had a significant influence on growth, trade and investment prospects in the developing world. The asymmetric nature of that relationship was demonstrated in the early 1980s when policy changes in the advanced countries triggered a sharp slowdown in much of the South, accompanied by a deeply damaging debt crisis and followed by a "lost decade" (or more) of development in many countries. Along with repeated financial shocks and crises which lasted through the late 1990s, the developing world, with the exception of East Asia, fell further behind the North during this period.
Since the new millennium, however, we have witnessed a very strong economic performance across all regions in the South. During 2003-08, the average growth of developing countries exceeded that of advanced economies by some 5 percentage points, compared to around one point in the 1980s and 1990s. One of the strongest growth surges occurred in Sub Saharan Africa, holding out hope that this region could finally begin to enjoy the benefits of a globalising world. Growth gaps widened during 2008-11 as most developing countries proved quite resilient to the financial crisis triggered by the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008, while advanced countries experienced a deep recession and a very sluggish recovery.
This growth divergence has widely been interpreted as the South "decoupling" from the North and the start of a process of rapidly narrowing income gaps across the world economy. Projecting recent trends into the future suggests, on some estimates, that over the next fifty years the global economy will have 'converged'; that is, the relevant countries in the South will not only dominate the global economy in terms of absolute trade and production figures, but many will have closed the income gap with countries in the North.
This convergence narrative is often presented as a vindication of the market-friendly policy agenda promoted over the past 30 years by international financial institutions and through bilateral development agencies. The policy message is clear, the challenge for the BRICS and other developing countries is to continue with "business as usual" by adopting sound macroeconomic policies, rapidly opening up to global firms and market forces, pursuing good governance and investing in human capital. At the same time, with strong growth predicted for the emerging countries in to the future, there have been growing calls from development partners, which have become louder since the financial crisis, for these countries to assume much more responsibility for managing the world economy, easing the burden on the cash strapped North.
What I would like to suggest to you this morning is that this is not a persuasive narrative. In part that is because it myopically ignores the damage that was done to developing countries in the 1980s and 90s by the same policies which are now deemed the only sure-fired basis for their future success. In part, because the evidence does not show the desynchronisation of cycles between developing and advanced economies on which the decoupling hypothesis rests. But it is also because the success stories of the last decade have not actually followed the economic recipe that the adherents of "business as usual" are now looking to promote under the narrative of the rising South.
This last point raises what in my mind are the key questions from the recent period of accelerating Southern growth, namely whether there has been a durable shift in the trend growth of the South relative to the North, if so what has caused it and if not what can be done to put it on firmer foundations? To answer these questions we need to acknowledge a certain paradox in the recent globalisation experience.
The paradox of the last decade is that the victims of the debt crisis of the 1980s, which in many respects marked the start of what in UNCTAD we have called finance-driven globalization (FDG), have become the winners of the debt fuelled growth which has driven FDG since the millennium. This pattern of growth, which originated in the advanced economies, generated a highly favourable global economic environment for developing countries in terms of export opportunities, capital flows and commodity prices.
Developing country exports grew very quickly at something like twice the pace of those from advanced countries with a concomitant rise in their share of world trade. From the early years of the 2000s, low interest rates and rapid expansion of liquidity in the US, Europe and Japan also triggered a boom in capital flows to developing economies. There was at the same time a surge in FDI flows by TNCs looking to cut their costs by spreading production chains more widely including to many more host developing countries. Some countries also enjoyed a surge in workers' remittances during these years, which exceeded 3 per cent of GDP in India and reached double-digit figures in some smaller countries. Commodity prices rose strongly, in some cases thanks in part to rapid growth in some emerging economies, but also because of the financialization of commodity markets.
This confluence of favourable external trends was unprecedented in the post Second World War era and it would be surprising if it did not register in improving growth figures in the South. Indeed, on some estimates, at least one-third of pre-crisis growth in China, for example, was due to exports, mostly to advanced economies, and the ratio is even higher for some smaller Asian export-led economies; Latin America would not have seen much growth had terms-of-trade, dollar interest rates and capital flows remained at the levels of the late 1990s: and as UNCTAD research has shown much the same can be said for growth in Sub Saharan Africa.
But there is a further paradox of FDG that needs to be introduced here. Namely that the big winners in the developing world have been those countries that resisted financial and capital account liberalization - indeed the Washington policy consensus more generally - and deployed a range of creative and heterodox policy initiatives to help break the constraints on sustained growth and better manage their integration in to the global economy. These successful economies, of which China is the most prominent, have also built industrial capacity in the context of strong regional growth dynamics, including through managed trade and FDI. In all these cases industrial policy, rather than purely market forces, has been crucial to their being able to take advantage of the scale economies and other benefits that external integration can bring.
The big challenge is, of course, what happens next now that debt fuelled Northern growth has come to its predictable and unhappy end? Much will of course depend on how the advanced countries approach this challenge. In UNCTAD we are particularly worried about the resort in may countries to austerity measures; our own research on the damage from such an approach in developing countries tells us that this is unlikely to be a healthy economic solution for rich countries either.
The financial crisis in 2008 also led to a deterioration in all the areas that had previously supported expansion in developing economies. Markets for Southern exports contracted, capital flows were reversed and commodity prices declined sharply. Growth rates across the developing world dropped as a result, in some cases quite significantly. However, a number of these economies, including some of the largest, showed resilience to these shocks and were able to rebound quickly, particularly where a strong countercyclical response was made possible by favourable payments, reserves and fiscal positions built up during the preceding expansion. As a result, the growth impulse in some leading Southern economies shifted to domestic demand, including in countries which had previously been strongly export-led.
China has, of course, played a key role here, launching a massive stimulus package in infrastructure and property investment. Because of its high commodity intensity, this investment-led growth has given an even stronger boost to commodity prices than did pre-crisis export-led growth thereby supporting growth recovery in other developing regions. At the same time, short-term capital inflows surged back in to the South following sharp cuts in interest rates and quantitative easing in developed economies in response to the crisis. These flows helped to ease a growing payments constraint in several major emerging economies including India, Brazil, Turkey and South Africa. However, these flows also widened deficits by leading to currency appreciations, which in some cases have been very sharp.
Domestic demand-led recoveries in the South have now come to an end, and at the same time the economic situation in many advanced economies has become more challenging with growth slowing again in most and with some already back in recession. As a result the downside risks for developing countries are once again mounting.
While the failure of the advanced economies to manage their own imbalances represents the biggest immediate threat to growth in the South, the underlying challenges remain the systemic tensions arising from FDG. Despite the scale of the 2008 financial crisis and a good deal of subsequent talk about not letting it happen again, there has since been a quite shocking failure to reform the international financial system. There is still no effective multilateral surveillance to bring discipline and responsible behaviour on the part of reserve-issuing countries. Despite all the talk of a Keynesian revival the adjustment to shocks still falls on debtor economies with no pressure on surplus countries to make required changes. The IMF has abandoned parts of its economic orthodoxy and begun to discuss ways to better manage capital inflows, including capital controls as a last resort and temporary measure. However, the Fund has paid little attention to policies in source countries, including measures to stem speculative outflows, multilateral financial resources to support countercyclical measures remain woefully inadequate and a sovereign debt work out mechanism remains a distant possibility. Instead, muddling through and ad hoc arrangements, involving the IMF and selected countries and other agencies, remain the order of the day. The never again mantra has turned in to the when next prediction!
Developing countries, as much as advanced countries, have an interest in a stable financial system that is in the business of providing security for people's savings and mobilizing resources for productive activities, including international trade. Reforms are urgently needed to regulate institutions that have become too big to fail, to replace unruly and procyclical flows with predictable long-term financing, to regain stability in currency markets and to support expansionary macroeconomic adjustments.
Another downside risk for many developing countries is commodity price instability. This is not just about oil prices driven by geopolitical uncertainties and speculation. Even a moderate slowdown in China, towards 7% per cent, could bring an end to the boom in a broad range of commodities and if advanced countries enter recession the impact will be significant on some countries. This could be further amplified by a rapid exit of investors and traders in commodity derivatives. We may not know with certainty the extent of instability caused by commodity speculators and whether they create autonomous movements independent of real supply and demand shocks. But two pieces of evidence show the destabilizing impact of derivative trading. First, there is increased synchronization of price movements of commodities with different supply and demand characteristics. Second, there is evidence of cumulative movements, bandwagon behaviour among derivative trades, particularly during the commodity boom-bust cycle in the second half of 2008. Controlling these activities is also key to a more stable global economy.
Recent growth figures for developing countries have already begun to raise concerns that these risks are becoming a reality. Most international forecasting agencies are busy revising down their growth forecasts for different regions and for the global economy as a whole. At the same time hope of another coordinated international response, along the lines which followed the financial meltdown in 2008, are looking less and less likely, not only because national policy makers have less room for manoeuvre this time around but also because trust in the multilateral system appears to be dissipating, witness the state of the Doha negotiations and the Rio plus 20 process.
A pressing issue, therefore, is how to situate South South cooperation against this backdrop of an unstable and fragile world economy? From my remarks I think it is clear that developing countries face two interdependent challenges which call for a wide-ranging rethinking of their development policies and strategies including with respect to south south cooperation. First, in the immediate future, they face the risk of a significant drop in their GDP growth rates. The slowdown could be quite severe if Europe falls into a deep recession bringing down US growth rates which, in any event, are likely to be weak and unstable. Second, over the medium term, developing countries cannot return to the kind of rapid growth they enjoyed during the debt-fuelled global expansion of the last decade, even if the advanced economies could recover fully.
Talk of new growth poles in the South needs to be approached more cautiously than has been the case so far. Neither the structural changes nor the market conditions of the past decade or so have advanced to the point where the South is self sustaining let alone an independent engine of global growth. The growth of south south ties over the past decade has been impressive and can provide some resilience in the face of a slowdown in the North. Between 1996 and 2009 the developing country share of global trade rose from 18 to 29 per cent, with South-South trade growing at an average of 12 per cent per year, 50 per cent faster than North-South trade. It now accounts for around 20 per cent of global trade, and over half of all developing-country trade. Over this same period the share of developing countries in inward FDI flows has 38 to 43 per cent of the total and South-South foreign direct investment (FDI) has also been growing rapidly, at around 20 per cent per annum over this same period, and now accounts for 10 per cent of total FDI flows, with as much as one third of flows to developing countries coming from other developing countries. Finally, while high-income countries remain the main source of remittances for developing countries, migration between developing countries is now larger than from developing countries to OECD countries.
However, it is important to recognise that these growing south south ties have often been dependent on Northern markets and firms, in the context for example of global supply chains, so it is important not to exaggerate their independent nature. As a consequence, efforts to extend and strengthen these ties should not be divorced from the wider policy challenge to build productive capacity and expand domestic markets in the South. As such South-South integration and cooperation (SSIC) is still work in progress. One possible model in making further progress is the flying geese paradigm associated with successful East Asian development. The emergence of similar models elsewhere cannot, however, be taken for granted, nor that their development impact will simply replicate that of East Asia. Still, this experience does suggest that, with proper policies, South South cooperation can play an important role in fostering inclusive development through closer trade and investment ties.
Realistically, China is probably the only emerging economy which can offset the damage of stagnation in the North on its own economy and generate strong countervailing impulses for other developing economies. However, at present, the size of its consumer market barely reaches 20 per cent of that in the US, even though China's GDP is around 40 per cent of the US GDP. This is because of exceptionally low share of household income in GDP and a very high household savings rate. Moreover, because of their low import content, total (direct and indirect) imports for consumption in China do not reach 10 per cent of those in the US. Therefore, in order to provide a large market for other developing economies, China needs not only to raise the share of household income in GDP and reduce precautionary savings, but also to increase the import content of consumption. China is also the only major developing country capable of helping other countries to reduce their dependence on financial markets in advanced economies. The country is expected to continue to run a current account surplus in the foreseeable future although, as it sets about on its own rebalancing agenda, this will be lower than it was during the subprime expansion.
A longstanding challenge of south south integration and cooperation is whether or not there are sufficient financial resources available in stronger developing economies to support growth and development in the weaker ones. In recent years, growing surpluses in some dynamic developing economies certainly raise the possibility that these could be recycled to other parts of the South in support of their growth and development. The Bank of the South in Latin America and the recently discussed BRICs Bank are possible models in this respect. UNCTAD has also raised the possibility of using Sovereign Wealth Funds in the South to help finance long-term investment projects in the least developed countries. The design of such mechanisms is not an easy task -- witness their absence in the Eurozone area for example - however their further consideration is certainly merited and points to more constructive discussions of mutual needs and challenges in the South.
In the longer term, while the policy challenges facing growth poles in the South vary, for many they are linked, one way or another, to maintaining a virtuous circle between capital accumulation, structural change, productivity growth and rising domestic demand. One of the encouraging features of the recent growth surge in the South, has been the pick up of investment rates in Latin America and Africa after decades of decline and stagnation. However, levels remain well below what is needed to ensure inclusive and sustained growth and the situation with public investment remains particularly worrying. Moreover, the pace of industrial development, indeed of economic diversification in general, has so far remained sluggish in most of these economies.
Consequently, commodity exporters in Latin America, and also in Africa, still have little control over the key determinants of their economic performance (capital flows and commodity prices), and their main policy challenge continues to be how to break out of this limitation and gain greater growth autonomy. Accessing the right kind of development finance remains an issue but ultimately they will need to reduce their dependence on foreign capital, whether from China or from the advanced economies, by strengthening domestic resource mobilisation. In this respect, it should be noted that although the highest income earners in Latin America capture a much greater proportion of national income than those in Asia, they save and invest a much lower proportion of their incomes, and as mentioned earlier, this may have been somewhat aggravated by recent bubbles in commodity and capital markets.
Low investment and high dependence on foreign capital are challenges that need to be addressed, not only in commodity exporters, but also in some exporters of manufactures facing what has been called the "middle-income trap", because without adequate investment it remains difficult to shift the structure of production towards high-productivity and more supply- and demand-dynamic sectors. As has been seen in Southeast Asia in recent years, a high rate of savings does not always translate into an equally high level of investment and, as seen in India, a high level of aggregate investment does not necessarily translate into rapid manufacturing growth. Moreover, in these economies a heavy reliance on foreign direct investment has not generated the local entrepreneurial base needed to move further up the development ladder.
If developing countries are going to continue to grow rapidly, additional efforts have also to be made to avoid rising domestic and balance of payments deficits. In part that will come with the successful diversification of their production structures. But such developments will not happen spontaneously. It requires new infrastructure, and access to markets and technology, which will be costly, especially in the light of the imperative to raise real wages and domestic demand. In this respect, the examination of successful growth experiences in the South and sharing the policies which have sustained them can assist ongoing efforts to introduce domestic and international policy reforms and supportive institutional arrangements, overcome the threats from unregulated financial arrangements, address the disproportionate vulnerability to shocks in the South, and ensure inclusive growth within and between countries.
These reflections indicate that the way forward for the South depends on the internalisation of the drivers of growth in order to secure self-sustaining economic expansion, the achievement of greater autonomy for countries to determine their own development trajectory, and the implementation of sustainable, strategic and inclusive development policies. For practical reasons, SSIC is most likely to contribute to this by building on what in UNCTAD we have been calling developmental regionalism. After several disappointments and false starts, there are signs that regional integration is gaining renewed support across the developing world. The initiatives include attempts to forge greater consistency around trade and investment policies in Africa and Latin America, as well as the creation of regional production networks in Asia.
These developments point to more measured alternative to premature trade liberalisation, unregulated global capital flows and a race to the bottom of global value chains. Developmental regionalism should harness regional trade, investment and capital flows to building productive capacity and strengthening productive integration among neighbouring economies. Although these modalities of integration ultimately depend on the decisions of firms, rather than governments, national industrial policies can support this process, and coordination and harmonization of such policies can help make integration more effective. Indeed, industrial policy as I suggested earlier with reference to the flying geese model is likely to play a much more prominent role in charting the future course of more inclusive and sustainable development across the South.
Formal regional cooperation is not a precondition for de facto integration, but larger and more inclusive gains will likely require a dynamic interaction between the two. At first, such cooperation will tend to focus on technical issues (trade barriers, standards etc.), but as production and trade systems become more integrated among neighbouring countries, the need for coordination and collaboration will grow. The expansion of regional trade has added impetus to discussions on regional monetary and financial cooperation. Indeed, with the gaps referred to earlier in the multilateral system such cooperation has gained ground in recent years. Monetary and financial cooperation covers a wide spectrum from simple trade-related payment initiatives to more complicated liquidity provisioning development finance schemes and ultimately monetary union. However, there is no recipe, mandatory sequence or ideal timing when it comes to such arrangements, and distinct initiatives are likely to emerge according to the degree of integration and the political economy of each region.
The development scenario I have been trying to present to you is very different from the narrative of automatic convergence that I suggested at the beginning of my presentation has become part of conventional wisdom surrounding the recent Rise of the South. It includes targets for government expenditure and public and private investment to facilitate a more equitable distribution of income and improved employment prospects, reasonably stable real exchange rates and the promotion of regional trade areas in developing regions, selective incentives and support for exports of commodities, manufactures and services by countries that lack a sufficient export base, and global cooperation in the management of commodity markets, including energy resources and markets, to achieve price stability and reduce the dependence on fossil fuels.
Because the imbalances I have been describing operate both at a national and at a global level, their resolution depends on coordinated national as well as global policy initiatives. In my report to UNCTAD XIII I have talked about the need for a Global New Deal and while I do not have time to elaborate on that here I believe this provides the kind of framework around which a combination of reflationary, regulatory and redistribution measures can together help to "lift all boats" and to bring greater stability to the global economy.
By way of concluding let me reiterate that south south cooperation is still very much work in progress but that it provides a hopeful sign that the recent strong growth performance of the south can, this time around, persist and spread and that the global imbalances that have in the past held back development can be better addressed. As such I have tried to suggest in my remarks that SSC should not be narrowly defined in relation to the aid discourse but rather conceived as part of a wider discussion of building more inclusive and sustainable development paths that breaks with business as usual. In that respect it should be seen as part of a wider reform agenda encompassing the regional and global levels.

Sir Richard's Condom Co. announced Wednesday it will distribute 1 million condoms this year to Haiti, doubling its contribution of last year.
The Boulder company said the condoms will be delivered this summer to Partners In Health clinics throughout Haiti.
Sir Richard's mission is to alleviate a global shortage of condoms and help prevent unwanted pregnancies and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and HIV.
For every condom purchased, the company has pledged to donate another condom for delivery to a developing nation in need. The initial deliveries have targeted Haiti, one of the world's poorest countries which is still suffering from a devastating earthquake in 2010.
The condoms will be made available for free at PIH clinics, including the Mirebalais National Teaching Hospital, built by PIH in collaboration with Haiti's Ministry of Health and scheduled to open next month. The state-of-the-art facility emphasizes women's health and reproductive support.
Sir Richard's delivered 500,000 condoms to Haiti last fall.
"This contribution of 1 million condoms to the people of Haiti — a doubling of last year's contribution — is directly linked to our growing Sir Richard's community," said Jim Moscou, CEO of Sir Richard's. "It's humbling and exciting to watch."
Moscou also said the company will soon be launching a Condom Tracker on its website, sirrichards.com, that will keep a running tally of committed condom donations based on purchases.
"We know our community really cares about the social impact they have every time they buy Sir Richard's condoms, and this is a great way to keep them posted on our progress," Moscou said.

Bradley Cooper did a shift at Burger King to prepare for a new movie role.
Maybe he's concerned they've run out of creative ideas for another four "Hangover" movies.
The actor practiced his cooking skills Sunday at London's Leicester Square branch of Burger King, according to WENN. He was preparing for his role in the upcoming film "Adam Jones," in which he plays a chef training to get a third Michelin star.
When was the last time you heard the word "chef" in the same sentence as "Burger King?"
A source told British newspaper The Sun, "Bradley was training alongside genuine Burger King staff. The aim was to learn the 'art of the flip,' which he nailed fairly quickly. There was no real fanfare from him. You'd never know he was a big star by the way he spoke to people. He spent Sunday night learning the skills while the restaurant was open to the public and then filmed for most of the day on Monday."
It's always good to have a backup career plan, in case this acting thing doesn't work out.

I'd actually like to see a mix of the two designs if that's possible.
Love the more monster body the Filmation version had.
Love the spikes and tendrils of the MYP guy. I tend to like more his head design a little better too.
Maybe the Classics version is his own thing? "As though he were produced in the 80's!"
So with that last sentence, it'd be cool if he had two pairs of legs, a reverse if you will of Hiss, more like Mermista, where his legs could be switched out for vines and stuff?

200x Evil Seed for the win !
200X for sure! IMO Filmation is tragic by comparison fish lips on an asparagus head.
Evilseed isnt A-list enough to warrant two releases. I wouldnt mind an extra Filmation head (to keep others happy) and maybe a cloak, but the design needs to be 200X IMO. He is one of the characters that Im really looking forward to.
FilMation version is much cooler design, he would be like nothing else in the display. That is the Evilseed that I want, original first. Plus, as some have already noted, his characterization was much better than the MYP version.
Personally, I think both of their heads look utterly ridiculous. He was still a memorable character, though, that deserves some figure or another.
I'm a big fan of the '80 cartoons and toys and I always like to see many vintage feats in the Classics line. However, Evilseed is one of the few exceptions. Although I like his part in the original toons as well as in the new ones. As far as the design goes, I guess 4H is confronted with a real challenge here: if they could succeed in mixing some part of the original Evilseed (his toon version I mean, since he was never released as a toy) with the new one, that could be one hell of a figure. BUT, if I had to vote: a) 100% old school or b) 100% new school, I would most definitely go for the latter. 100% old school is just to silly, imo.
Further more I agree with Kylun Flac: give us vines and stuff :-)
Chroniklor, the Heroic Keeper of Eternian Myths, Legends and Lore.
200x for sure never cared for the Filmation Evil Seed.
But what accessories do you think? Would a mini-evil seed be too much? I mean it would only be like getting a torso with Hssss. A thorned staff and sword would also be cool.

i so want to have an Evil-Seed
i really like the character
would prefere the MYP-style
something like this:
THE RAW's Fan Art:
For example, the filmation Roboto was a duck-billed robot who walked and talked with the characterization of a 1950's b-flick robot. Being from a place called Robotica didn't help any. Some would say that this filmation background story is superior to MYP's Chess playing strategist. I'd strongly disagree, but there are those who would say it.
Obviously, I disagree with your stance on filmation's Evilseed. I never liked the Asparagus headed character or his story but I did like the way they animated his demise. I think it was some of the best animation in the He-Man series.

MYP Sorceress is a MUST HAVE figure for MOTUC!
How about the MO2K body with a removable Filmation cloak, and interchangeable heads?

I'd be all for it! In the past, I have noticed that there were some on these forums who had a problem with Mattel including the additional Mer-Man or Whiplash head because they didn't like it.
No one was forcing them to use the head, they weren't being charged extra for the additional head, and it wasn't even on the figure in package but there were still those who were upset it was included at all. It seemed pretty selfish to me.
Hey Mattel, quit giving us additional AND OPTIONAL stuff for free!
MYP Sorceress is a MUST HAVE figure for MOTUC!
I personally prefer his Filmation look simply due to the symbolizing of it being from one of my all time favorite episodes.
I can see why people like the MO2K look though; so let's combine the best of both worlds; the Horsemen have shown fully capable

Its the easiest way to give you both versions in one figure, u choose how to display him. No need to make 2 versions, just takes away from different figures.
didnt even occur to me. very nice idea for keeping it a single figure.
i do hope matty get would about these ideas.
200x Myp Evilseed for the win!!!

Indianapolis Colts
Reggie Wayne: BYE-20-10-11-11-9 (12.6), Donnie Avery: BYE-8-12-6-7-8 (8.5), T.Y. Hilton: BYE-9-4-5-6-11 (6.3), Coby Fleener: BYE-9-6-2-3-dnp (5.1), Dwayne Allen: BYE-5-4-2-5-7 (3.8), Vick Ballard: BYE-1-3-1-1-6 (1.6), LaVon Brazill: BYE-0-1-1-1-5 (1.3), Donald Brown: BYE-2-dnp-dnp-1-1 (1.2), Mewelde Moore: BYE-dnp-0-0-2-dnp (1), Nathan Palmer: BYE-1-2-0-dnp-dnp (1), Weslye Saunders: BYE-dnp-dnp-0-1-1 (0.7)
So after I finally give up on Donnie Avery, he catches five passes for 108 yards. But then he gets hurt, so my anger toward him subsides into pity and then T.Y. Hilton starts going off and my emotions switch to greed, hoping that Avery might not play next week which will mean Hilton would have a good chance to produce and then into guilt again for hoping that Avery would stay hurt. The cycle of a crazy fake footballer.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Justin Blackmon: 10-8-BYE-4-8-9 (6.8), Cecil Shorts: 5-3-BYE-10-12-4 (5.6), Marcedes Lewis: 3-7-BYE-3-7-6 (4), Laurent Robinson: 1-dnp-BYE-dnp-dnp-9 (5.2), Rashad Jennings: 1-0-BYE-9-8-4 (3.8), Maurice Jones-Drew: 5-3-BYE-0-dnp-dnp (3), Greg Jones: 4-0-BYE-0-0-dnp (1.4), Micheal Spurlock: 0-dnp-BYE-0-2-5 (1), Kevin Elliott: 0-3-BYE-1-2-0 (1), Zach Potter: 0-1-BYE-1-0-0 (0.5), Montell Owens: 0-0-BYE-0-dnp-dnp (0.5), Jalen Parmele: 0-0-BYE-1-1-1 (0.4)
Justin Blackmon scored his first touchdown and Laurent Robinson returned to nine targets, but all in all it was still a sad day for fantasy in the Jaguars passing game. Cecil Shorts had been coming on strong, but only had four targets to Blackmon's nine, Robinson's nine, Lewis' six and Spurlock's five. If he is to remain a fantasy player, he can't be the fifth man on the totem pole going forward.
Kansas City Chiefs
Dwayne Bowe: 12-8-9-BYE-6-10 (10.2), Dexter McCluster: 4-0-8-BYE-8-6 (5.6), Jamaal Charles: 4-3-3-BYE-3-4 (3.6), Tony Moeaki: 4-1-2-BYE-8-0 (3.5), Jon Baldwin: 5-3-5-BYE-2-2 (3.4), Shaun Draughn: 5-1-4-BYE-2-2 (2.6), Steve Breaston: 1-0-0-BYE-1-2 (1.5), Peyton Hillis: dnp-dnp-dnp-BYE-1-1 (1.8), Steve Maneri: dnp-0-5-BYE-dnp-0 (1.7), Jake O'Connell: 0-0-0-BYE-3-0 (0.4), Kevin Boss: dnp-dnp-dnp-BYE-dnp-dnp (1.5), Cyrus Gray: 1-1-0-BYE-0-0 (0.3), Nate Eachus: dnp-0-2-BYE-0-dnp (0.7)
Dwayne Bowe had a better game last week, catching eight balls for 79 yards. But he was force fed ten targets by Matt Cassel and unless you are in a one point PPR league, he didn't do your team much good without a touchdown and he's in a four game drought. The passing game for Kansas City isn't going to be producing big games anytime soon it seems.
Jamaal Charles at least had 15 touches before his helmet-to-helmet shot. He's too good not to just throw in your lineup because the odds are he'll go off for 300 yards if you bench him.
Miami Dolphins
Brian Hartline: 19-5-0-BYE-6-12 (8.9), Davone Bess: 12-6-9-BYE-9-9 (8.1), Anthony Fasano: 5-4-6-BYE-2-4 (4.9), Reggie Bush: 1-2-7-BYE-1-3 (3.1), Charles Clay: 1-5-2-BYE-1-1 (1.8), Daniel Thomas: 1-1-dnp-BYE-2-4 (2.2), Anthony Armstrong: 0-0-0-BYE-dnp-dnp (1.8), Jorvorskie Lane: 0-2-2-BYE-0-1 (0.9), Jabar Gaffney: dnp-dnp-dnp-BYE-2-3 (2.5), Marlon Moore: dnp-0-3-BYE-1-1 (0.8), Legedu Naanee: 2-dnp-dnp-BYE-dnp-dnp (1.2)
The return of Brian Hartline was nice to see. He had been corralled by some tough pass defenses of late and finally got a little room to roam, which in turn gave him his highest target count since his huge game in Arizona. He's not the kind of receiver who can beat tough corners, but he's good enough to beat run of the mill corners and Ryan Tannehill is good enough to get him the ball.
The splits between Reggie Bush and Daniel Thomas have been interesting of late. Bush is obviously the superior talent, but it seems the staff wants to reduce his workload to keep him healthy. Over the last two games Bush has had 24 carries and four targets to Thomas' 21 carries and six targets. That is 28 to 27 looks. That is a 51% to 49% split. With the Dolphins facing Tennessee and Buffalo the next two weeks and then Jacksonville and Buffalo again in weeks 15 and 16, this information could be worthwhile. I'd still rather own Bush, but you have to temper expectations, while hedging your bets with Thomas.
New England Patriots
Wes Welker: 11-15-14-8-9-BYE (10.4), Brandon Lloyd: 7-5-12-8-4-BYE (8.6), Rob Gronkowski: 11-5-8-9-13-BYE (8), Aaron Hernandez: dnp-dnp-9-7-dnp-BYE (6), Danny Woodhead: 2-1-5-4-7-BYE (2.8), Julian Edelman: dnp-dnp-dnp-2-2-BYE (3.8), Deion Branch: 0-2-4-2-1-BYE (2), Stevan Ridley: 0-0-2-0-0-BYE (1.2), Daniel Fells: 2-2-2-0-0-BYE (1), Shane Vereen: 2-0-0-1-1-BYE (0.8), Brandon Bolden: 1-1-0-dnp-dnp-BYE (0.3), Michael Hoomanawanui: 0-dnp-dnp-0-1-BYE (0.3)
The Patriots used their bye to give Tom Brady a fauxhawk.
Come one, come all, step right up to the American Football Conference Target Watch! Below here you will see target numbers and the names of those players whom those target numbers coincide with and presently and so forth. Click here for admission to Wednesday's NFC Target Watch. But before we get to that I wanted to give you a list from the other side of the ball, the defense.
You'll find the target and reception numbers for each defense against each position. And since the Tennessee Titans are out to break the Indianapolis Colts' record for horrible completion percentage allowed, they happen to be at the top (proverbial, and should be actual, bottom) of two of the three lists. The chances of completing a pass against the Titans are about as good as my chances of looking at a picture of a bulldog puppy on the Internet at some point today. So take a look-see and see just how good and/or bad each team is at allowing receptions.
Completion Percentage by Team and Position
To start saving space I'll be showing you the last 6 weeks of targets on each individual player. I'm also changing the parenthesized number from total targets to targets per game played. That should help even that number out for players that have missed games because of injury or bye weeks.
Baltimore Ravens
Torrey Smith: 10-4-4-13-BYE-9 (7.2), Anquan Boldin: 12-10-6-7-BYE-5 (7), Dennis Pitta: 2-4-5-8-BYE-3 (6.6), Ray Rice: 11-3-4-5-BYE-2 (5.5), Jacoby Jones: 7-2-3-2-BYE-2 (3.1), Ed Dickson: 0-1-2-5-BYE-3 (2.5), Vonta Leach: 2-2-1-0-BYE-0 (1.5), Tandon Doss: 2-1-0-1-BYE-0 (0.6), Deonte Thompson: 0-0-dnp-dnp-BYE-dnp (0.4), Bernard Pierce: 0-0-1-0-BYE-0 (0.2)
Thankfully Torrey Smith is back in the target good graces. His ability coupled with normal #1 wide receiver targets would make him a top receiver. He is currently the 22nd ranked fantasy receiver even though he's averaging just seven targets a game.
In the last five weeks Dennis Pitta has 121 total yards and no touchdowns. Last week he had only three targets, the same amount as Ed Dickson. And for number nerds like me, he has 33 yards receiving in each of his last three games. Three!
Anquan Boldin always teases us with a few big games, but when you look at his overall production it hurts your eyeballs. Right now he is the 44th ranked receiver in fantasy. That is due mainly to his single touchdown on the season, which could be an anomaly, but he only has four targets in the red zone for the season. His upside is on the down side.
Buffalo Bills
Steve Johnson: 10-10-11-7-BYE-7 (8.9), Scott Chandler: 8-6-3-4-BYE-5 (5.1), Donald Jones: 3-4-4-5-BYE-9 (5.1), Fred Jackson: 3-1-6-11-BYE-7 (4.7), C.J. Spiller: 2-1-5-6-BYE-5 (3.4), T.J. Graham: 8-3-3-1-BYE-3 (3.4), Tashard Choice: 1-dnp-0-dnp-BYE-dnp (1.4), Brad Smith: 2-1-0-1-BYE-0 (0.7), Dorin Dickerson: 2-dnp-dnp-0-BYE-1 (0.6)
Fred Jackson is averaging 3.7 yards per carry this season on 59 attempts, while C.J. Spiller is averaging 7.2 yards per carry on 78 attempts. That stat is truly mind-boggling. Jackson isn't as bad as that stat and Spiller isn't as good (nobody is), but Spiller is the more dynamic player and the Bills must get him the ball more than they have.
Scott Chandler has gone the way of the touchdownless and isn't worth owning, which was predictable. But with Stevie Johnson nursing a nagging injury we did see Donald Jones step up as the main target for Fitzpatrick. He doesn't have much value on the rest of the season, but if Stevie is still hobbled against the Patriots, Jones should see a ton of targets.
Cincinnati Bengals
A.J. Green: 9-13-12-6-BYE-9 (10.4), Jermaine Gresham: 5-6-8-5-BYE-8 (6.5), Andrew Hawkins: 3-13-5-4-BYE-7 (6), Armon Binns: 5-6-5-dnp-BYE-0 (4.1), BenJarvus Green-Ellis: 3-2-1-1-BYE-3 (2), Brandon Tate: 0-1-1-1-BYE-6 (1.8), Brian Leonard: 1-2-1-dnp-BYE-4 (1.3), Cedric Peerman: 0-0-8-0-BYE-0 (1), Ryan Whalen: dnp-dnp-dnp-7-BYE-dnp (7), Mohamed Sanu: 0-0-dnp-3-BYE-3 (1.2), Orson Charles: 1-0-2-0-BYE-1 (0.6), Marvin Jones: 2-dnp-2-0-BYE-dnp (0.8), Chris Pressley: 2-0-0-0-BYE-0 (0.2)
This is old news, but A.J. Green is a bad man. He has eight touchdown receptions and has had the ball in the end zone in seven straight games. That consistency is fantasy gold. After him there is the opposite of consistency at the receiver position with no hope in sight. Be afraid.
Jermaine Gresham (no relation) hasn't done much to write home about, but he still is sitting ninth in fantasy points scored per game for tight ends. It seems that every year we have a nice crop of tight ends to draft from, but very few actually break out. Gresham isn't really worth all that much fantasy-wise, but is a top-10 tight end right now with his 6.4 points per game. If you don't have an elite tight end it's matchup central.
Cleveland Browns
Greg Little: 10-2-5-7-5-7 (5.7), Josh Gordon: 1-8-4-10-5-3 (4.9), Trent Richardson: 6-7-3-2-1-9 (4.8), Ben Watson: 6-3-5-3-4-3 (3.9), Jordan Cameron: 6-2-4-2-4-2 (3.1), Chris Ogbonnaya: 4-4-2-4-3-2 (3.5), Travis Benjamin: 5-dnp-dnp-5-0-3 (3.3), Mohamed Massaquoi: dnp-dnp-dnp-dnp-dnp-3 (5.2), Jordan Norwood: 10-9-dnp-dnp-dnp-dnp (9.5), Josh Cooper: dnp-dnp-3-8-1-dnp (4), Alex Smith: dnp-dnp-0-dnp-3-4 (2.4), Josh Cribbs: 2-0-1-0-1-0 (0.8)
Brandon Weeden has hit some doldrums after getting a nice tail wind in his sails for a few weeks. That of course has been bad news for Josh Gordon, who been hauling in touchdown passes right and left. But even when Gordon was getting into the end zone, he was averaging 2.5 receptions a game. You can't expect to continue finding pay dirt with that number of receptions.
Trent Richardson has thankfully remained relevant, even with the poor play by the Browns as a whole. He's topped 100 yards rushing in his last two games and scored a touchdown in one. He's one of the few bell cow backs in the league.
Denver Broncos
Eric Decker: 9-8-9-BYE-6-11 (8.6), Demaryius Thomas: 6-11-2-BYE-9-8 (8.1), Jacob Tamme: 6-11-2-BYE-4-4 (5.8), Brandon Stokley: 2-3-4-BYE-2-4 (3.8), Joel Dreessen: 3-4-7-BYE-2-4 (3.6), Willis McGahee: 6-6-5-BYE-2-1 (3.1), Lance Ball: 2-0-0-BYE-0-1 (1), Matthew Willis: dnp-0-1-BYE-1-1 (0.9), Ronnie Hillman: 2-1-0-BYE-1-1 (1), Virgil Green: dnp-0-0-BYE-3-0 (0.8)
So Peyton Manning is good. We all thought he would help Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas put up good fantasy numbers, but these numbers are pretty darn good. Right now they are both tied for the sixth most fantasy points for wide receivers Having one top six fantasy receiver is tough enough for a quarterback to produce, but two? Oh and their running back, Willis McGahee, he's eighth in running back fantasy points per game. I wonder if anyone is missing last year's quarterback?
Houston Texans
Andre Johnson: 6-6-12-10-BYE-10 (7.8), Owen Daniels: 6-5-5-10-BYE-8 (7), Kevin Walter: 3-6-4-6-BYE-3 (4.2), Arian Foster: 2-4-3-5-BYE-1 (3.2), James Casey: 5-5-2-2-BYE-3 (3.2), Keshawn Martin: 3-0-6-2-BYE-0 (2.2), Garrett Graham: 1-0-5-2-BYE-2 (1.9), Ben Tate: 2-dnp-0-0-BYE-dnp (1.5), Lestar Jean: dnp-dnp-0-0-BYE-0 (0.5), Jonathan Grimes: dnp-0-dnp-1-BYE-0 (0.5)
I'm loving these Andre Johnson target numbers over the last three games. Unfortunately without touchdowns he's not blowing up in standard leagues, but he is in PPR. In the first five games he averaged 3.4 receptions and in the last three he's averaged 8.3. Oh, and he has a very nice schedule after a tough road game in Chicago. And that goes for Owen Daniels as well. They both are getting the lion's share of the targets and there really aren't any players good enough to take them away.
New York Jets
Jeremy Kerley: 3-9-6-11-11-BYE (6.4), Stephen Hill: dnp-dnp-3-7-7-BYE (5.3), Jeff Cumberland: 5-4-1-1-dnp-BYE (3.7), Chaz Schilens: 3-5-4-3-5-BYE (3), Dustin Keller: dnp-dnp-1-7-11-BYE (5), Shonn Greene: 0-2-0-9-5-BYE (2.4), Bilal Powell: 3-4-2-dnp-dnp-BYE (2.8), Clyde Gates: 0-3-dnp-dnp-11-BYE (3.2), Patrick Turner: 5-dnp-dnp-dnp-dnp-BYE (2.5), Konrad Reuland: dnp-1-0-1-1-BYE (0.8), Jason Hill: dnp-2-1-0-dnp-BYE (1), Lex Hilliard: dnp-0-0-1-1-BYE (0.3)
The Jets used their bye to reevaluate everything.
Oakland Raiders
Denarius Moore: 8-BYE-9-8-8-9 (8.6), Brandon Myers: 2-BYE-7-10-3-13 (6.2), Darren McFadden: 1-BYE-4-7-6-3 (6), Rod Streater: 2-BYE-3-4-5-10 (4.9), Darrius Heyward-Bey: dnp-BYE-2-7-3-6 (5.1), Marcel Reece: 8-BYE-1-6-0-9 (4.2), Derek Hagan: 5-BYE-4-1-1-3 (3.1), Mike Goodson: 3-BYE-1-1-0-6 (1.8), David Ausberry: 2-BYE-2-0-0-0 (1.1), Richard Gordon: dnp-BYE-dnp-dnp-0-2 (1.4), Juron Criner: 3-BYE-0-1-2-0 (1)
Carson Palmer threw all over the Buccaneers last week and their best player, Denarius Moore, had a down game. The Bucs gave Palmer the middle of the field, which led to a bunch of targets for Brandon Myers. And amazingly with 13 targets, even Brandon Myers is able to score a touchdown, two even! Those were the first and second touchdowns of his career. The touchdowns may not come around all that often, but Palmer does feel at ease throwing it his way. These two touchdowns were his upside and then some, but he's still been consistent, especially compared to some of the other sad sack tight ends out there. I'm looking at you Pitta and Rudolph.
The Raiders backfield has been decimated, but we did finally get to see the man, the myth, and the legend, that is Marcel Reece. He didn't get one rushing attempt, but did catch eight of nine targets for 95 yards and a touchdown. He's been used solely as a receiving back in the offense, but should see some carries with Taiwan Jones and most of the passing down work. Reece has a ton of talent and I'm looking forward to seeing him use it again as long as Mike Goodson and Darren McFadden don't suit up.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Antonio Brown: BYE-10-10-8-6-3 (8.2), Mike Wallace: BYE-8-4-15-9-5 (7.9), Heath Miller: BYE-5-9-8-6-5 (6.5), Emmanuel Sanders: BYE-7-6-2-5-2 (4.8), Isaac Redman: BYE-0-5-dnp-dnp-2 (2.2), Chris Rainey: BYE-1-1-1-2-3 (1.6), Jerricho Cotchery: BYE-1-0-1-dnp-4 (1.4), Will Johnson: BYE-0-1-1-2-3 (1.3), Jonathan Dwyer: BYE-dnp-dnp-0-1-dnp (1.6), David Paulson: BYE-1-1-1-0-2 (0.6), Baron Batch: BYE-0-1-1-1-0 (0.6), Rashard Mendenhall: BYE-3-1-dnp-dnp-dnp (2), Leonard Pope: BYE-0-0-0-1-0 (0.2)
With Antonio Brown leaving the game early, we saw a lot of Emmanuel Sanders and Jerricho Cotchery. Sanders was on the field a little more, but Cotchery saw more targets. The good news for Sanders is that Roethlisberger seems to like him in the red zone.
The running back situation is going to be about as clear as mud with Jonathan Dwyer returning. Isaac Redman had a big game against the Giants and was ahead of Dwyer on the depth chart so may get the start, but I'm wary of both, even in a good matchup.
San Diego Chargers
Malcom Floyd: 3-8-5-BYE-7-4 (6.2), Antonio Gates: 3-7-10-BYE-4-3 (6), Ronnie Brown: 3-5-4-BYE-8-5 (4.9), Robert Meachem: 2-4-7-BYE-3-dnp (4.1), Ryan Mathews: 2-8-5-BYE-4-2 (4.8), Eddie Royal: 5-5-5-BYE-dnp-dnp (3.8), Dante Rosario: 0-1-1-BYE-5-1 (1.8), Curtis Brinkley: dnp-dnp-0-BYE-dnp-0 (2.2), Randy McMichael: 0-0-2-BYE-0-0 (0.9), Jackie Battle: 4-2-0-BYE-0-0 (0.8), Le'Ron McClain: 1-0-0-BYE-0-0 (0.6), Danario Alexander: dnp-dnp-dnp-BYE-1-3 (2), Richard Goodman: 0-0-2-BYE-0-dnp (0.3)
Danario Alexander has the knees of a World War I veteran, but when they aren't all swelled up, he has the skills to pay the medical bills. He only saw three targets, but caught all three for 61 yards and led the Chargers in receiving last week. Norv Turner says he has earned more playing time. I am really rooting for him.
The Chargers didn't have to do much on offense with the defense accepting points from Cassel interceptions. But Ryan Mathews was once again criminally underused. I blame Turner for all my woes.
Tennessee Titans

The Chicago Bears mauled and ate the Titans pepper spray and jingly bells hanging from their backpacks. This week they'll have Jake Locker back; so much of this target information is skewed from the reality of the upcoming weeks. Locker has a stronger arm, but is less accurate than Matt Hasselbeck. That could help Kenny Britt and Jared Cook get some deeper targets. The good news is they get Miami next, who have been giving up a bunch of points through the air.

Starting at 125 pounds, Terrezza raced out to a 6-0 lead after three minutes. The redshirt senior continued to dominate the bout, adding seven more points over the next two periods to blank Aaron Moldoff 13-0 for his seventh win of the campaign.
Gambucci, Duke's dual points leader, quickly put Duke ahead 8-0 with a 20-6 major decision over Robert Ruiz. The Mansfield, Ohio native built a 10-1 advantage after two periods before adding nine more points in the third for his third major decision of the season and 16th victory overall.
The Diplomats grabbed three points with a 3-0 decision by No. 18 Richard Durso at 141 pounds before Cain scored a 12-1 major decision from 149 pounds. Cain, 22-8 overall in his redshirt freshman season, controlled the bout from the opening whistle to earn his 13th dual win and push his points total to 47 for dual matches for the Blue Devils.
Duke made it four consecutive as Immanuel Kerr-Brown resumed his winning ways with a 9-3 triumph over Eric Norgard at 157 pounds. Kerr-Brown, tied 3-3 after the first period, shut down Norgard in the final four minutes to earn the decision.
Fresh off of an upset at NC State, sophomore Randy Roden captured a 7-1 decision at 165 to stretch Duke's lead to 21-3 with four matches remaining. Roden led 4-1 after three minutes and then added another takedown in the final 30 seconds to ice the victory.
A winner in eight of previous 10 matches, redshirt freshman Trey Adamson picked up right where he left off against NC State with a 3-0 decision over Colin Gironda. Scoreless after one period, Adamson escaped 14 seconds into the second for a 1-0 lead, but was unable to score again. With just a 1-0 lead heading into the final session, the Riverton, Utah native scored a crucial takedown with 45 seconds left to post his 19th win of the season and 12 dual victory.
Junior Brian Self rounded out Duke's winners as he closed the match with a 2-1 victory. Self, unable to score in the first period, escaped five seconds into the second session for the 1-0 lead. Unable to score again, the heavyweight rode strong to start the third and built up over a minute of riding time before Kerkesner escaped to earn the riding time bonus point and his 12th win of the year.
Duke next competes in the ACC Championships March 9 in College Park, Md. The championships will be broadcast by ESPN3.

By Lydie Rashchka-supervisor and teacher mentor in the Yonkers public school system
As New York City emerges from a spring cold snap, parents unwrapping their children from winter clothes may find something unexpected underneath: a new layer of fat. During this year's long and frigid winter, many of the city's public elementary schools canceled outdoor recess, instead keeping students inside where they watched videos (and snacked). At my son's school in Manhattan, children stayed indoors—where they killed time in the gymnasium—through much of April, too, because of the rain. Wouldn't these children have been better off playing outside?
The standard justification is that students tend to get sick on cold weather. But there's little evidence that cold weather itself causes illness (unless you're talking about frostbite or hypothermia, which can be prevented with proper attire). It's exposure to sick people in cramped quarters (like school classrooms) that's bad for your health. Not to mention what sitting indoors all day does to your metabolism; no wonder childhood obesity is on the rise. And, of course, there are the behavioral problems: children get antsy without fresh air.
Yet many of the city's school principles canceled outdoor recess when the temperatures merely hit the freezing point, or it there is the slightest precipitation. What happened to that famous New Year bravado? The city's Department of Education does not have a formal regulation on when to cancel outdoor recess, leaving it up to individual districts and schools, but the unstated policy stands in stark contrast to the rules of schools around the country, particularly in places where extreme cold is a fact of life. In parts of North Dakota, the cut-off temperature for outdoor recess is zero; in Anchorage, it's minus 10; and in one Wisconsin district it's a wind-chill factor of minus 15. The Anchorage school district puts its philosophy succinctly: "Any child well enough to come to school is generally well enough to go outside."
So why are New York public school students treated so delicately? The decision to go outside isn't simply based on the weather. When I taught elementary school several years ago, the decision was affected by pressure from teachers and their aids who themselves didn't like going out in cold weather or sorting out schoolyard fights, and parents who were constantly telling us—despite the science—that their children were getting sick from the cold.
Schools shouldn't be making these decisions based on such vagaries. Why doesn't the city's Department of Education set up a policy that makes outdoor recess mandatory based on a reasonable standard—say, when the temperature hits 10 degrees or it's raining heavily? Though the cold weather may be on its way out, it isn't going away.


text: Oh, we know the conventional wisdom: that there has to be actual snow on the ground before people can take snow days. But with a little imagination we at Unframed find it possible to take time off if we can simply see snow: in the mountains, in the mind's eye, or even (this being L.A.) in a photograph from a movie set. So have a good holiday and we will see you back here next week with a flurry of year-end lists and other good stuff.

Late-Race Incident Relegates Menard to 30th-Place Finish at Pocono Raceway
Paul Menard and the No. 27 Quaker State/Menards Chevrolet team had their afternoon spoiled by a blown tire on the final lap and finished 30th in the 400-mile NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event at Pocono Raceway. Menard started the race in the ninth position after persistent rain showers forced NASCAR officials to cancel Friday's qualifying session. The 32-year old driver maintained a top-15 position during the first 60 laps while battling a loose-handling condition on his green and yellow machine. After falling out of the top 20 during the middle stages of the race, crew chief "Slugger" Labbe and the No. 27 pit crew went to work and made several adjustments to the car during multiple pit stops. As the race progressed, the Richard Childress Racing driver climbed back into the top 15 where he remained until bad luck struck on the final lap when a right-front tire went flat causing the Eau Claire, Wis., native to lose control of his car and slam into the outside retaining wall. In the end, Menard settled for a 30th-place finish and now sits 12th in Sprint Cup Series driver championship point standings.
Start – 9 Finish – 30 Laps Led – 0 Points – 12th
"Our Quaker State/Menards Chevrolet was pretty good for most of today's race, but it was a tough way to end the day with a blown tire on the final lap. We'll keep our heads up and look for a better result in Michigan next Sunday."
Harvick Salvages Top-10 Finish at "The Tricky Triangle"
Kevin Harvick and the No. 29 Rheem team rallied back to a ninth-place result at Pocono Raceway on Sunday afternoon after receiving a mid-race pit road speeding penalty. The Richard Childress Racing driver started the 160-lap event from the fifth position after rain canceled qualifying Friday afternoon, setting the field by the NASCAR rulebook. During the early laps of the Party in the Poconos 400, Harvick informed crew chief Gil Martin he was battling a tight-handling red and black Chevrolet that transitioned to a loose condition as the run progressed. The Rheem pit crew executed scheduled two and four-tire pit stops on laps 26, 54 and 67, along with chassis and air pressure adjustments, in an effort to alleviate the handling issues their driver was battling. Harvick maintained a top-five position in the running order until a lap 99 green-flag pit stop when NASCAR officials issued a pass-through penalty for speeding on pit road, forcing him back to the 28th position. As the race progressed, the California native methodically and patiently worked his way back toward the front of the field, crossing the finish line in the ninth position. Following his sixth top-10 finish of the season, Harvick remains fifth in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver championship point standings.
Start – 5 Finish – 9 Laps Led – 0 Points – 5th
"The Rheem crew did a great job today at Pocono Raceway, especially coming back from that mid-race set back on pit road. Recovering from that mistake to finish in the top 10 is proof of how hard this team works each week."
Burton Finishes 11th at Pocono Raceway
Jeff Burton and the No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet team battled back to a top-15 finish of 11th at Pocono Raceway. Starting the 400-mile event from the 24th position after rain forced NASCAR officials to cancel Friday's qualifying session, the 21-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race winner worked his way into the top 20 early while battling a loose on exit and tight in the middle-handling condition. Burton began to find speed as the race progressed, but a missed shift on a restart relegated the Richard Childress Racing driver to the 27th position on lap 75. By the time the next caution flag was displayed on lap 126, Burton was solidly back in the top 20. The Caterpillar team didn't give up over the course of the race, making several chassis adjustments to remedy the ill-handling condition during multiple pit stops and finally started to showcase speed in the latter stages of long runs. The 45-year-old driver restarted in the top 15 on lap 129 and worked his way into the top 10 five laps later, making it to as high as seventh on the leaderboard. Over the final 19 laps, Burton battled through multiple restarts and managed to bring home the black and yellow machine in 11th place. Burton is now 21st in the Sprint Cup Series driver championship point standings.
Start – 24 Finish – 11 Laps Led – 0 Points – 21th
"Today was just another day where the No. 31 team showed we are making progress with our 1.5-mile and above track program. I dug us a hole early in the race by missing a shift on a restart and restarts were so important today. You had to be aggressive. I also expected to run well here after our successful test session last week. We'll continue to make progress next weekend at Michigan (International Speedway)."

LONGMONT -- Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler said Wednesday that if he loses his seat in 2014, that office also would lose the focus he's placed on improving the integrity of Colorado's elections.
"I've stood up for following the law and enforcing the law," Gessler told about 50 people attending this month's Boulder County Republican Breakfast meeting here on Wednesday morning.
Gessler predicted that if he doesn't win re-election, no one "will have the courage to stand up again."
But Gessler said if he wins a second term, "I think what that's going to do is, it's going to prove to the left wing" that "the people in the state of Colorado do think that election integrity matters."
One possible Gessler foe in the 2014 election cycle could be former state Sen. Ken Gordon, a Denver Democrat who filed his candidate's affidavit last month. Gordon was his party's candidate for secretary of state in 2006, losing to Republican Mike Coffman.
Gessler currently is fighting complaints filed by Colorado Ethics Watch, a liberal group that alleges he improperly used public money for partisan purposes by spending office funds to attend a GOP lawyers conference in Florida.
