Greener Value In Home-Grown Food

9), about the carbon footprint of food transportation: If ”local” is the ”new organic” when it comes to food, then what is the ”new local”? I would like to suggest that the next generation of local eaters will not only have green values, but also green thumbs. The article pointed out the complexity of determining food’s true carbon footprint. No post-graduate degree is needed to calculate the ”food miles” of home-grown produce; a tape measure works just fine. Roger Doiron Scarborough, Me. 10 The writer is founding director of Kitchen Gardeners International, a nonprofit network of home gardeners.
Garry Williams: Summer TV turn-off

The cricket is just starting to gear up on Nine — though most would no doubt rather watch the Aussies humiliate England than India and New Zealand. Seven serves an ace with the Australian Open tennis from mid-January. There are some good one-off home-grown festive specials, too. Tonight’s Very Specky Christmas is well worth a look, as are Carols By Candlelight and The Panel’s Christmas Wrap. Interestingly, Tom Gleisner, who was promoting The Panel’s special, says one of the main reasons for making the show was that Christmas programming was such a wilderness. "I think they’re programming the test pattern against us this year," he joked, though he wasn’t so far from the truth. Now let’s throw our eyes over the "summer sizzlers".
Lack of grant won’t deter Augusta Airport officials
Central Maine Morning Sentinel - Dec 16, 2007
“Even without the grant funds, a subcommittee of the city’s Airport Advisory Committee headed by Terry Pomerleau Gray is looking for low-cost ways to promote use of the capital city’s airport and to boost passenger use. Gray said the subcommittee hopes to find relatively small amounts of money to support a modest advertising and branding campaign. It’s already begun a home-grown appeal to business people with an insert in last month’s Kennebec Valley Chamber of Commerce newsletter, urging business travelers to support the airport as a community resource. The flyer shows how travelers can save money and time flying from Augusta rather than driving to larger airports elsewhere. “We’re trying to get people to check Augusta first for flights,” Gray said.

When one of your own tells you that, it’s hard not to take it to heart. To many West Virginians, Rodriguez’s exit feels like, “So long, suckers!”
Now, it’s back to Square One. WVU will never reach that consistently elite level as long as it’s considered a stepping-stone — even by its home-grown talent. By leaving, Rodriguez has set back the program significantly. But, then again, it shouldn’t be surprising. Five-year-olds usually only think of themselves and their needs.

Business exodus inevitable says Treasury
Stuff.co.nz - Dec 16, 2007
The research was part of a wide array of work at government level assessing the risks of a "hollowing out" of the economy as jobs, firms and ownership go overseas. Consultants Andrew Sweet and Murray Nash reported to the Treasury in September that New Zealand firms with global ambitions soon encountered the almost irresistible pull of large masses of consumers and bigger manufacturing bases overseas. Once production left New Zealand, they said, sales and marketing soon followed, with head office and R&D usually left last. "Once a company has begun relocating key components of its supply chain offshore, a self-reinforcing process often begins, with the relocated components acting as `magnets' of attraction for components remaining in New Zealand," the study, based on confidential interviews with 15 firms with substantial overseas sales, said.
Brown Sahibs and Bambaiya
Times of India - Dec 16, 2007
Fed on the rasping verse of Bob Dylan and Pink Floyd,
the South Mumbai School of Advertising flourished. Copywriters like Frank
Simoes, Arun Kolatkar, Alok Nanda, Alyque Padamsee, swung the fortunes of the
brands with their impressive
copy. Sam Balsara, one of the
few advertising professionals of the 80s who is still going strong with his
home-grown agency Madison, addresses these veterans as the Brown Sahibs, who are
still around but have turned quiet. Freddy Birdy, of the celebrated copy-art duo
Birdy and Naved Akhtar, and who was associated with Mudra in the 90s, has been
active in both phases. “Advertising then was largely imitative of the West,” he
says. “Now, clearly, we have a very nice Indian flavour in our ads. ” This
flavour, he adds, is largely derived from Bollywood, which is trendy, yet
original.
How the British came, saw and helped Rudd
The Age - Dec 16, 2007
While there have always been links between Labor and Labour, thetwo parties became closer after Mr Rudd became ALP leader and lookset to deepen during his prime ministership. The Liberal and Conservative parties also talk to each other,but the ties are more extensive on the Labor side. ALP figures are quick to stress that their main policy ideas arehome-grown. Although New Labour’s influence is evident in key policies— notably the focus on education, including maths and scienceteaching, computers and child care — ALP general secretary TimGartrell says that it was on campaign strategy that the Britishadvisers helped most. There was another reason why Mr Rudd’s ALP looked to Britain. In2004, its leader, Mark Latham, took a lead from President BillClinton’s campaign guru Dick Morris, whose big ideas were valuespolitics and “triangulation” — taking the best policies ofleft and right to create a third position. ALP figures say Mr Latham adopted them without also developing acounter-attack to respond rapidly to negative advertising.
