Throughout his campaign in 1992, Mr Clinton made bold and far-reaching promises. He worked carefully to take credit for what he had not done, and to distance himself from the negative things he had done. Whether Bill Clinton was talking about his promises to the middle class, denying an affair with Gennifer Flowers, or making one of his many false pledges to balance the budget, there was one central flaw that ran to the core of the Clinton technique: dishonesty. Now, as Bill Clinton begins another campaign of broken promises in his second bid for the presidency, it is imperitive that he be taken to task for what he has failed to do. To quote a statement Bill Clinton made on the campaign trail in 1992, It's read my lips all over again. Except this time we can read the record. I have striven to show that the very words of Bill Clinto are the best evidence of his deceit, corruption and indecision.

Technological change was unskilled-labor-biased during the early Industrial Revolution of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, but is skill-biased today. This fact is not embedded in extant unified growth models. We develop a model of the transition to sustained economic growth which can endogenously account for both these facts, by allowing the factor bias of technological innovations to reflect the profit-maximising decisions of innovators. Endowments dictated that the initial stages of the Industrial Revolution be unskilled-labor biased. The transition to skill-biased technological change was due to a growth in "Baconian knowledge" and international trade. Simulations show that the model does a good job of tracking reality, at least until the mass education reforms of the late nineteenth century

(Cont.) To this end, we solved a cocrystal structure of CIpS in complex with an N-end peptide. CIpS uses an extensive hydrogen bonding network to dock the a-amino group and a cavity lined with hydrophobic residues to recognize the N-terminal residue. Furthermore, mutation of the hydrophobic cavity altered the specificity of CIpS toward N-terminal residues. Together these findings attribute molecular functions to CIpS and ClpAP in the bacterial N-end rule and define sequence rules for the N-end signal. Furthermore, this work provides the tools and background for investigating the mechanism of substrate delivery by ClpS to ClpAP.

The paper looks at the development of the secular stagnation thesis, in the context of the economic history of the time. It explores some 19th century antecedents of the thesis, before turning to its interwar development. Not only Alvin Hansen, but Keynes and Hicks were involved in the conversations that led to Hansen's eventual statement of the thesis that we are familiar with. The argument made sense in the context of the interwar period, but more so in Britain than the US.

"This paper surveys independent Ireland{u2019}s economic policies and performance. It has three main messages. First, the economic history of post-independence Ireland was not particularly unusual. Very often, things that were happening in Ireland were happening elsewhere as well. Second, for a long time we were hampered by an excessive dependence on a poorly performing UK economy. And third, EC membership in 1973, and the Single Market programme of the late 1980s and early 1990s, were absolutely crucial for us. Irish independence and EU membership have complemented each other, rather than being in conflict: each was required to give full effect to the other. Irish independence would not have worked as well for us as it did without the EU; and the EU would not have worked as well for us as it did without political independence." -- Page 1.

ABSTRACT: Three regional aquariums, Waikiki Aquarium, Clearwater Aquarium, and the Mote Marine Laboratory, provide the case-studies for this analysis into the history of aquariums. The history of these institutes provided historical trends into their educational, entertainment, research, and rehabilitation efforts. This in turn helped prove their influence upon the surrounding society.

This paper documents industrial output growth around the poor periphery (Latin America, the European periphery, the Middle East and North Africa, Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa) between 1870 and 2007. We provide answers to the following questions: When and where did rapid industrial growth begin in the periphery? When and where did peripheral growth rates exceed those in the industrial core? When was the high-point of peripheral industrial growth? When and where did it become widespread? When was the high-point of peripheral convergence on the core? How variable was the growth experience between countries? And how persistent was peripheral industrial growth?
