[from amaah] Indians Cling To Old Ways Of Banking

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 12:47:30 -0700

"We were often scolded by the West about how India's financial sector was over-regulated and we needed to adopt Western best practices," said Kamal Nath, India's commerce and industry minister, to an audience of cheering business leaders in New Delhi recently. "We all now know how good those best practices were."

[from amaah] The TARP has been passed; what more to do, and what not to do now

Sun, 05 Oct 2008 15:12:41 -0700

Willem Buiter sounds almost as grim as Nouriel Roubini... I believe that the collapse of confidence in the banks and in the rest of the highly leveraged system of financial intermediation that has developed without any effective regulation and supervision has now become so widespread and so deep that it will take the socialisation of much of the banking sector broadly defined to restored confidence, order and functioning financial intermediation. This is true in the US, the UK and for most of the rest of Europe, including the euro area, the rest of the EU and the EU-fringe states.

[from amaah] Health Services For All: The Ghana Example

Sun, 05 Oct 2008 13:56:30 -0700

In Ghana and I believe in Nigeria too, people use a lot of herbs. So traditional medicine is part of it. Our focus is to make sure that traditional medicine is safe so that if you buy traditional medicine you are certain you are not buying poison. So we have invested in the regulation of traditional medicine... Also insights on toxicological testing

This is the content of a Q&A I did with Rod Johnson, concerning the uproar over Spring's announced changes in their maintenance release publication. Hopefully, this clears up not only what's going on, but why.

Our position on California's No on 8 campaign

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 16:11:09 -0700

As an Internet company, Google is an active participant in policy debates surrounding information access, technology and energy. Because our company has a great diversity of people and opinions -- Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals, all religions and no religion, straight and gay -- we do not generally take a position on issues outside of our field, especially not social issues. So when Proposition 8 appeared on the California ballot, it was an unlikely question for Google to take an official company position on.

However, while there are many objections to this proposition -- further government encroachment on personal lives, ambiguously written text -- it is the chilling and discriminatory effect of the proposition on many of our employees that brings Google to publicly oppose Proposition 8. While we respect the strongly-held beliefs that people have on both sides of this argument, we see this fundamentally as an issue of equality. We hope that California voters will vote no on Proposition 8 -- we should not eliminate anyone's fundamental rights, whatever their sexuality, to marry the person they love.

[from amaah] A Chicken in Every Garage

Sat, 13 Sep 2008 00:59:28 -0700

interesting thesis, ties Detroit's fondness for SUVs to chicken... It started in 1961 with chicken. Trying to stop a surge of chicken imports into Germany, the European Common Market bowed to the European poultry lobby and almost tripled the tariff on frozen chicken from the United States. Washington, of course, struck back. In 1963, it raised tariffs on a range of European products: brandy to hit the French; dextrine, a food and glue component, to hit the Dutch.

[from amaah] Impact of urban agriculture on malaria vectors in Accra, Ghana

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 12:59:17 -0700

study shows that urban malaria transmission is ongoing in Accra and that the EIR seems increased in urban areas where irrigated farming takes place. In addition, the urban setting seems to pose a number of unique challenges to malaria control that need further investigation, e.g. anophelines may be adapting to more polluted larval habitats, may be more exophilic than in rural settings thereby decreasing the efficacy of IRS and the intensive use of pesticides in urban agriculture is likely to increase the speed with which insecticide resistance develops.
