DoD News Briefing with Se... Apr 12, 2008
I would say one of the salutary effects of what Prime Minister Maliki did in Basra is that I think the Iraqi government now has a clearer view of the malign impact of Iran's activities inside Iraq. And I think that -- I think there -- we -- they have had what I would call a growing understanding of that negative Iranian role, but I think what they encountered in Basra was a real eye-opener for them.

A risk-free revolution Apr 2, 2008
Financial regulators have learned that, although it probably would be salutary to allow the imprudent to suffer the foolishness of their folly every once in a while, its just not worth it if the rest of the system goes down the drain as well. In addition to what they dont teach in the economics textbooks, moral hazard is tolerated for what they dont teach in the political science textbooks either. (Asia Times Online)

Voices in the desert Mar 29, 2008
One reader had wondered whether the novel had been written from some sense that fasting might indeed be spiritually salutary, whatever doctors might say about the harm that it can do. The novelist confessed he had had "the most weirdly mystical experience I have ever had" after a very bad case of malaria in Sudan, in his 20s. (Guardian Unlimited -- Books)
No Need to Worry Nana NDC is Deadwood Mar 29, 2008
Undeniably, it could also boost Nana Akufo-Addos credibility as a serviceable and collaborative team-player for the former Justice Minister to also draw the political balance sheet in favor of his predecessor, poignantly highlighting such forward-looking policy coups as the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), the salutary re-denomination of the Cedi, the progressive ratification of the agreement for the construction of the long-awaited Bui Dam Project, the HIPC windfall in the form of...

Heart Failure Treated 'In The Brain' Mar 28, 2008
Dr Alexander Gourine, UCL Department of Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology, says: "Many people have assumed that beta-blockers have a direct salutary influence on the heart, but our findings challenge this view, suggesting that beta-blockers may act directly in the brain and this action could underlie their beneficial effect on the failing heart. This study suggests that novel ways might be found to treat cardiovascular disease aimed at sites within the brain.". Adapted from materials... (Science Daily)

The getting of wisdom Mar 26, 2008
This is not to say that the government is always right, but it is salutary to note that where a lot of money is handed out, psychoanalysis does not get a look-in. So to take out a bank loan in order to sort out your problems this way seems incredible and naive and so, whatever else she is, she is definitely sincere. (Guardian Unlimited)
Does the Middle Way really help? Mar 25, 2008

Mr. Bagbin Is Not a Wise man Mar 16, 2008
Then also, contrary to what he wants P/NDC supporters and sympathizers to believe, voting Nana Akufo-Addo into power as President of Ghana would imply the salutary and further strengthening of Ghanas fledgling culture of electoral democracy. It would also mean the sensible and incontrovertibly progressive endorsement of such critical NPP policies as the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), as opposed to the criminally iniquitous P/NDC Cash-and-Carry (Clic health policy, as well as the...

" By the time a program spreads its healing balm, we may find the recession has died a natural death -- or was never born.pIs there a way to avoid this inevitable, usually-fatal, lag? I don't see why not. We've tried to cure the lag, for monetary policy, by granting the Federal Reserve authority to raise or lower interest rates instantaneously. Why not have a similar arrangement for fiscal policy? We'd create a Pump-priming authority--call it PPA for short--and give it the power to instantly... (Slate)
Transcript of a Joint Seminar by the IMF and the Brookings Institution on "Global Downturn? The World Economy in 2008" Feb 12, 2008
Obviously this is just a simulation and just one way to look at this, but I think that kind of position is kind of having salutary effects and is going to help up global imbalances is actually not right, that it is not what you see when you do the reasonable analysis. You could have some small improvement in the U.S. current account, but remember that you have to build in what is happening in other parts of the world. (IMF News)

Translation: Australia, your future starts here Feb 3, 2008
But the ancient fable also holds salutary lessons for today's young Australians, some of whom heard the story during Melbourne Immigration Museum's kids' festival on China last month.

So much to love about chocolate Jan 17, 2008
Studies in the past few years have suggested that constituents of chocolate -- notably a group of compounds called flavanols -- might make positive health contributions by acting as antioxidants to prevent various kinds of cell damage, and they might have salutary effects in the cardiovascular system, as well.

In Defence of Food: extract two Jan 8, 2008
The French ability to break many of the accepted rules of healthy eating with impunity has been variously attributed to the salutary effects of red wine, olive oil, and even foie gras (liver is high in B vitamins and iron). Yet when researchers extract a single food from a diet of proven value, it usually fails to adequately explain why the people living on that diet live longer or have lower rates of heart disease or cancer than those eating a modern western diet.

Atta-Mills and His P/NDC are Forever Passe Jan 5, 2008
What is clear, as witnessed from the hectic play-out, or drama, of the just-concluded 2007 Delegates Convention of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), is the quite heartening and salutary fact of the Ghanaian electorate having moved far beyond the primitive politics of either raw intimidation or what the average Ghanaian has disdainfully designated as Moneycracy, or perhaps even more rhetorically aptly, Lucrecracy. .

For Charlie Wilson, War Is Swell Dec 22, 2007
Hoffman reminds us that, along with his weird and salutary ability to burrow into any character, he is a great line-reader a crucial asset to a script with the welter of exposition that Sorkin's has (along with many big laughs and even more subversive ones). Roberts gets to parade her luster in evening gowns and bikinis; she amps up the cunning warmth, and we note only in passing that in early middle-age she's starting to frost over into Glenn Close.

How would you feel if Richard and Judy picked the PM? Dec 13, 2007

Beyond the shrill polemic Oct 30, 2007
One of my favourite emails from a reader told me, "I wish I was as certain of anything as you are of everything." The latter is far from the case, but it served as a salutary reminder that the certainty columnists are paid to produce can sometimes cripple public debate, alienating readers and reducing complexity to wittily phrased polemic. There's been evidence of that in the debate about abortion law reform. (Guardian Unlimited)
Raina: Deal or Democracy? Oct 28, 2007
What is salutary, however, is that both also believe there are systemic considerations that must not be overlooked. Conceding for the moment that the Indian and American states are constitutional democracies (there will of course be a spate of argument as to the democratic content of those constitutions, and about the equity with which that content operates among the polity), it must be noted that the idea of democracy obtains variably in the two democracies, owing largely to the variable...

"After all, what could be more suicidal than Racine in the West End? In the event, the two French classics, like the Hare, were fantastically successful.

Sicko's Bitter Pill Jun 28, 2007
Nearly 30 years later, as the sorry fate of Hillary Clintons universal health care proposals bear out, the average American still hears socialized medicine as socialist medicine, a holdover from 1950s Red-scaremongering thats entertainingly lampooned in Michael Moores flawed, vital and entirely salutary Sicko. As with all Moores movies, Sicko arrives in theaters laden with prior ballast, some of it engineered by the wide-eyed, who-me director himself. (LA Weekly)
