「Black New-New」&「Dickies」的新演繹
「Black New-New」&「Dickies」的新演繹 |
|
說起「Black New-New」,相信許多80後的上海小囡一定記憶猶新。這個帶有「嚴重」上海口音的英語單詞,是我們從小對「黑猩猩(chimpanzee單詞太長,記不住)」最美好的詮釋。孫斌(Mc Banana)、王路(阿路)、陳飛百(DJ Fabo)是三個典型的80後上海小寧,吃過大餅油條,喝著豆漿長大,讓他們對上海有著別樣的感情。2009年,三個好朋友決定組建「Black New-New」樂團。作為上海人,Black New-New一直覺得自己有著強烈的使命感,那就是讓上海話和海派文化流傳下去。 Black New-New的作品全部都是反映他們眼中的上海日常生活和現在時下最熱的新聞,或許未來的Black New-New將和周立波一樣,擁有屬於自己的「海派音樂」。
蘇格蘭短裙上的格子,過去素有一「格」一階級的說法,說「蘇格蘭短裙等於一部大英帝國的歷史」,真的一點兒也不誇張。據說,英國蘇格蘭格子註冊協會記載著幾百種不同的格子圖案,有些以姓氏命名,代表著不同的蘇格蘭家族。黑灰格被稱為「政府格」。也有特別為皇室成員定制的格子圖案,貴族的身份高貴,他們穿著的格子圖案也被稱為「貴族格」。在17世紀和18世紀,蘇格蘭高原部落之間的戰爭終年不休,戰場上的男人們便以所穿的格子圖案來辨認敵我,有點兒像現在的「軍服」。 當記者問及日常穿衣風格時,作為搖滾潮人代表之一的Black New-New則表示出對美國工裝品牌Dickies(帝客服飾) 特別的鍾情與厚愛,不管是日常穿衣還是在演出現場,都喜歡身著Dickies的潮服。 一直以來,美國工裝傳奇品牌Dickies 與搖滾音樂以及獨立樂隊有著深厚的淵源,亦受到歐美一線音樂人的極力推崇。Avril Lavigne,The Black Eyed Peas等音樂名人就經常穿戴Dickies的服飾出現在大眾視野,通過Dickies多變色彩、舒適剪裁,出眾耐穿性的新款服飾來演繹他們的優秀音樂作品。Dickies自2008年進入中國市場後,將服裝精品與時尚音樂結合的理念也引入國內,一直持續關注著中國內地原創樂隊的發展,並積極尋求合作機會。Black New-New就以其鮮明的海派音樂特色與Dickies秉持的真實、生活化、富有激情和原創精神的品牌文化不謀而合,完美演繹了工裝時尚與搖滾樂完美結合的海派文化新風尚。 |

「奧巴馬」系列時尚單品
「奧巴馬」系列時尚單品 |

奧巴馬當選美國總統以後,有關於他的時尚單品也相繼推出。愛追潮流的年輕人相信一定不會錯過吧! 又給大家搜羅實用的圍巾技巧了!希望大家秋冬都將美貌進行到底!本次歸納出圍巾的系均有圖例示範,明星或是時尚達人,大家絕對不要錯過哦!普通的圍巾的圍法,簡單來說,就是看你圍幾圈。圍一圈、圍兩圈、圍三圈(一般三圈就差不多了),就會讓圍巾有不同的美感。當然,不同圈數的圍法裡面,也是有些小小的技巧的,現在配圖分析總結下。 一圈圍法 1、最簡單的就是繞脖子一圈,不過呢,可以通過調整圍巾垂在胸前的兩頭的長度,通過不同的層次來做些小小的微調。那麼就可以有兩種選擇,一種是圍巾的尾端平齊,一種是不平齊製造不平衡的感覺。有圖為例。Irina就將伊的飄逸圍巾兩端就是左右極端不平齊的,不知道是有意還是無意,但是這樣的確又比整齊排在胸前有不一樣的感覺了。 |

寧夏醫科大畢業生初次就業率近七成
寧夏醫科大畢業生初次就業率近七成 |
|
寧夏醫科大學通過“走出去、請進來、常調研、多聯系”的長效機制,走出一條促進畢業生充分就業的新路子。去年,全校畢業生1319人,通過各種形式實現就業的畢業生892名,初次就業率達到67.63%。 由于國際金融危機的影響,去年寧夏高校畢業生就業形勢更加嚴峻。寧夏醫科大學主動與區內外用人單位加強聯系,努力辦好“全區醫學類畢業生就業雙選洽談會”,參會的招聘單位達到95家。寧夏醫科大及早動手做調研,主動向各級政府提建議,爭取自治區政府特設了1000名“特崗見習醫生”就業計劃,全校近200名應屆畢業生參加了這項計劃。校方還積極與自治區有關部門溝通協調,為學校各“畢業生就業基地”單位爭取畢業生到行政事業單位就業見習計劃名額362個,見習生基本工資由地方財政支付,用人單位只給予適當補助。此舉既鼓勵了用人單位積極招聘畢業生,又提高了畢業生的工資待遇。

寧波天一職業學院教工實名舉報院長學術造假
寧波天一職業學院教工實名舉報院長學術造假 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
為拿到國家教學成果獎,申報材料、自編教材、工作計劃、網站點擊量通通都是造出來的 寧波教育局已著手調查此事,一周內會通報調查結果 本報記者 邵巧宏 寧波天一職業技術學院7月份獲得了寧波市教學成果獎二等獎。這本該是讓學校及課題參與者都很榮光的事,卻在幾個月后發生了戲劇性的一幕。 5名教學成果獎課題組成員中的4名成員及其他幾名教職工近10人,實名向上級部門舉報課題組主持者、天一職業技術學院書記兼院長陳健爾學術、職稱等造假,并指出該課題的內容多處做假。 昨天,記者從寧波市教育局了解到,目前,教育局紀委、高教處已介入此事,并已開展了調查。寧波教育局并將于一周內對此事做相關通報。 申報材料被專家否決 院長提出造假 去年底,學校接到省、市教學成果獎開始申報的通知。在陳健爾的帶領下,學校組織了一個以辦公室副主任樂軍波、科教處處長許復貞、副處長應志國、培訓處負責人張承剛為核心的5人課題小組,申報省、市教學成果獎,最終目標是拿下省一等獎,沖擊國家級教學成果獎。 國家級教學成果獎是我國高教界最重大的一個獎項,拿到這個獎,國家在財政撥款上會給予優先考慮。到目前為止,只有寧波大學在今年9月份獲得了二等獎。 去年12月,有較強文字組織能力的樂軍波和醫學專業的應志國被安排住進了賓館,專心撰寫申報材料。半個月后,學校請來了省里專家對這些申報材料進行評估。 由于材料僅僅是閉門造車,申報材料很快被專家否決。樂軍波說,當時陳健爾提出造假,并提出教材要分兩部份:公共衛生人員培訓和社會衛生管理人員培訓。 樂軍波說,除了文字功底比較好,他對醫學其實是不懂的,寫材料造假的那段時間,每天過得就像小孩“過家家”一樣。 “但是這是領導說的,我們也不得不聽從安排。”樂軍波說。 15本所謂教材 只是打印了一張封面 那么,這個“假”到底是怎么造出來的? 各級教學成果獎的申報一般分三個步驟:學校申報、PPT匯報、公示。而這三個步驟里,均無需出示教學成果中用到的教材,更沒有人會審查教材,而是否真實就是靠學校來把關。這就給了造假極大的便利。 去年12月中旬,天一職業技術學院的圖書館2樓的教師閱覽室被封閉起來,作為小組寫材料的辦公室。 1月15日,天一職業技術學院向寧波市教育局遞交了教學成果的申報材料及15本自編教材的照片。 不過1個月的時間,就編出了15本教材,5個人究竟是怎么編出來的? 答案其實很簡單。分別打印好15本教材的封面,用這些封面分別套在其他教材上,然后把這些假冒的教材擺成一個扇形,拍一張照片就成了15本自編教材了。 “由于下面書顏色比較深,一張紙放上去以后,下面不相干的字要映出來,然后我們就在下面再加一張紙,重新再拍一張。另外,照片還特地用了黑白的。”該校當時負責拍照的信息資源中心老師黃援越說。 工作計劃改頭換面 網站點擊量子虛烏有 根據教學成果獎申報的必要條件,教學成果要屬省內首創、必須是經過2年及以上教學實踐檢驗后有一定影響力的。 課題組成員們告訴記者,當時陳院長為了達到這一要求,就臨時提出了“階梯式衛生職業教育”這個獨創的概念,并讓負責文件的樂軍波對往年已存檔的工作計劃進行修改。 “當時他要求我把2006、2007年的都改了,我想想太不應該了,就只改了2008年的工作計劃。”在接受記者采訪時,樂軍波自稱是文件造假者之一。 同時,為了證明這個所謂的“教學成果”的影響力,在遞交的申報材料中有一份該校“階梯式衛生職業教育網站”的資料,這個資料里稱,該網站點擊量已達到13萬多次。 而天一職業技術學院信息資源中心主任阮煥立卻說,1月15日衛生職業教育網還沒運行,是1月22日才開始運行。 院長“全國教指委委員”資格也被質疑 除了被舉報在教學成果獎申請過程中造假外,作為學院的書記兼院長,陳健爾還被指在教授職稱和全國教指委委員資格中造假。 陳健爾在1996至2004年底任寧波市衛生局副局長,2004年底到寧波天一職業技術學院擔任校長,在2005年評上了教授職稱。 但是學校老師對陳健爾申報職稱的必要條件之一、每年的課時數提出了質疑。在一張被用于證明陳健爾授課情況的浙江大學醫學院寧波教學點的聘書中,多處有著明顯的黏貼痕跡。 另外,在天一職業技術學院的教育成果獎申報材料里,記者還發現了一份2008年5月教育部頒發的“陳建爾同志任2006—2010年教育部高等學校高職高專相關醫學專業類教學指導委員會委員”的證書(評上教指委委員的一般都是國家頂尖專家)。 證書上的“陳建爾”沒有單人旁,但由于當時陳健爾是為了申報教育成果獎提供的材料,所以這個證書應該是發給陳健爾的。 記者查詢了國家教育部網站,但在2006年—2010年教指委委員成員名單中,并沒有“天一學院陳健爾”的名字,而只有“陳建爾上海醫科大學”,“建”字沒有單人旁,而上海醫科大學早已在2002年并入復旦大學,經過查詢,復旦大學也沒有“陳建爾”這個人。 而天一職業技術學院的員工們也認為,按照天一學院的名氣或者個人學術地位,陳健爾不可能被評為教育部的教指委委員。 有人懷疑,“陳建爾”是否就是陳健爾為獲取教指委委員資格而取的“馬甲”? 不滿院長做法課題組成員實名舉報 據了解,在課題小組集體舉報陳健爾之前,今年年初,就有人在天涯論壇、東方論壇舉報他的造假行為。 作為參與造假的核心成員,這些教職工為何冒著自毀前途的危險,舉報自己的上級? “實名舉報意味著很大的風險,對我們個人沒有任何好處。但是網上舉報的出現,讓我們下定決心,站出來澄清事實。”樂軍波說。 由于不滿院長的做法和作風,課題組的核心4人再加上幾名教職工,實名向上級舉報陳健爾造假,且每個人都在名字后面附上了手機號。 昨天,記者試圖聯系陳健爾,但是雖然接通了他的手機,但始終無人接聽。記者又來到了寧波教育局詢問此事,教育局相關負責人說,從11月初開始,教育局紀委、高教處已經介入調查此事,并已找了相關人員談話,結論目前還不方便透露,但教育局會在一個星期內對此事進行通報,給當事人、公眾一個答復。 (錢江晚報) 進入教育頻道首頁

牛肉面館六萬年薪聘人事經理 多數學生愿意嘗試
牛肉面館六萬年薪聘人事經理 多數學生愿意嘗試 |
|
多數大學生愿意試一試,也有人嫌發展空間有限 一名下面條師傅、兩三服務員,最多再加名收銀員——說起牛肉面館,多數人會想起就是這樣的人員配置。但武漢一家牛肉面館招聘人力資源經理,年薪高達6萬元。 昨日,記者在前程無憂武漢站首頁發現這家名為“泰來”的牛肉面館,招聘人力資源經理。招聘廣告里,該職位崗位職責多達13項。根據廣告提供的聯系方式,記者來到該牛肉面館設在武昌的總部,采訪了其負責人陳先生。 小小牛肉面館,為何要花高薪聘人力資源經理?陳先生介紹,因為有19家加盟店,合計起來有150余名員工。在管理加盟店過程中,他們有意學習麥當勞、肯德基等洋快餐的管理模式,為各店員工建立一套量化培訓、考核體系。這需要組建新的人力資源部門。“一碗牛肉面必須是150克面條,30克牛肉。”陳先生舉例說,招聘人力資源經理,就是像這樣制定考核制度,讓店內所有操作工、營業員等都按標準作業。如果人力資源經理制定出的新制度效果明顯,公司還將提高這一職位的薪水。 對于牛肉面館高薪招聘人力資源經理的做法,求職者反應不一。昨日,記者調查了17名人力資源專業的大學畢業生。結果顯示,大部分學生認為專業對口,薪水也挺豐厚,愿意試一試。但也有人認為,牛肉面館發展空間有限,不會優先考慮此工作。 |

October 1, 2007 THE PRESIDENT: Mr. Vice President, Mrs. Cheney, Secretary Gates, members of the Cabinet, members of Congress, members of the Diplomatic Corps, members of the finest military ever, that United States military, Secretary Rumsfeld, General Myers, members of the Pace and Mullen family and distinguished guests. Today we pay tribute to an outstanding Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and we welcome his distinguished successor. Ceremonies like this are a storied military tradition. It is a time when families, friends and comrades honor those who have fulfilled great duties to their nation. It is a time when we show admiration to those who step forward to assume new obligations. It's a time when we make generous use of words like honor and character. Sometimes those words are used too often. In the case of the two men we celebrate today, those words cannot be used too much. Admiral Mike Mullen comes to this post with a broad and unique range of talents and experience. Some of you may not know that his parents were highly-regarded members of the Hollywood community, who worked for some of the greatest entertainers of the day. Many people are surprised when told about the Admiral's show business roots. After all, he's humble, well-grounded, and filled with common sense. (Laughter.) Not exactly what one thinks about when they think of Hollywood values. (Laughter.) Admiral Mullen left California to attend the United States Naval Academy to pursue a career in military service. He soon found himself stationed on a destroyer on the gun line off the coast of Vietnam. During that tour, Admiral Mullen was part of operations so intense that the gun barrels on his ship glowed red. That was the beginning of a distinguished career. The Admiral has commanded three ships, an aircraft carrier battle group, and the U.S. Second Fleet. He served as the commander of all U.S. naval forces in Europe and the NATO Joint Force Command. And later, as Chief of Naval Operations, he championed the construction of new types of vessels needed to deal with the threats of the 21st century. Admiral Mike Mullen understands what's at stake in the war on terror. He was on duty at the Pentagon when Flight 77 made its doomed plunge. He felt the plane slam into the building. He saw the carnage and devastation. And like all who worked there that terrible day, he still carries the pain and the loss. Admiral Mullen was there when war reached America's shore -- and he brings the talent, vision and judgment needed to help us fight and win that war. As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mullen will follow his strong belief that every member of our Armed Forces is, as he put it, part of one team and one fight. He will continue to set a sterling example to our men and women in uniform. He will bring judgment and candor to decisions that may mean the difference between life and death for young Americans who are serving our nation. He will demonstrate the same love of country and dedication to duty that inspired his sons to follow him into military service. Admiral Mike Mullen is a man of decency and honor, and I congratulate you on your new assignment. And I know your parents would be proud. And I thank you and Deborah and Jack and Michael for your service to our nation. (Applause.) As Admiral Mullen begins his service as Chairman, he is fortunate to have as an example the man we honor today. General Pete Pace is one of the most respected and accomplished military leaders I have ever known. He helped craft America's response to an unprecedented assault on our homeland. He helped liberate two nations from brutal tyrannies and helped bring freedom to millions of people. He began the process of transforming our military into a more efficient and effective force. Yet these accomplishments do not begin to tell the full story of this remarkable man. That story begins in Teaneck, New Jersey, where General Pace grew up the proud son of an Italian immigrant. His dad worked two and sometimes three jobs to provide for his family. His mom attended church service every Sunday, and, according to the good General, still lights candles to pray that her children are happy, healthy and safe. General Pace was a good student and a good athlete. His mom said the General has been good at everything he's ever done. Some of you may think mothers are required to say only admiring things about their sons. Well, take it from me, it's not always the case. (Laughter.) General Pace's dad died before he could see his son reach the height of his career -- yet he always knew that his son would be a success. His family believed in his potential -- and they weren't the only ones. There is something about General Pete Pace that makes believers out of nearly everyone. That includes the men who served with him in Vietnam and whom he led during some of the most vicious urban combat in American military history. It includes the troops he led in Somalia who looked to him for resolve and guidance during difficult times. It includes Marines who look with pride on the first of their ranks to lead the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It includes two Secretaries of Defense who relied on the General during tough and trying times. And it includes a President who has counted on General Pace's candor and sound judgment during some of the most difficult times in our country's history. During his service at the Pentagon, General Pete Pace has shown us many talents. He's shown an intellect sharpened by post-graduate studies at George Washington and Harvard. He's shown us great oratorical skills -- this is a man who frequently speaks without notes -- I really don't recommend this to everyone. (Laughter.) He's shown a sharp wit. When a Naval commander once made an edgy joke in front of the Secretary of Defense, the General stepped right in and gave the young officer some advice. He said, Never let a promising career stand in the way of a good joke. (Laughter.) The most important attribute General Pete Pace has shown us is a quiet strength. It is a strength that has won the admiration of friends and peers. It is a strength built on the love and support of a strong and devoted wife, Lynne, and their family, Peter, Lynsey and Tiffany. It is a strength that gave Pete solace in the tough, and sometimes bitter, world of Washington, D.C. It helped him bring selflessness to a city filled with egos, and a dignity to a political process that might have worn down lesser men. He now leaves active service with a distinguished team in place and a talented successor. And yet I also have the sense that General Pace is not going to end it all here. He's a man who has always put country first and he will find new ways to serve. General Pete Pace always understood what's important. It wasn't titles received, or honors bestowed -- and it certainly was not the good graces of official Washington. What mattered most were the young men and women who serve our country and risk their lives for its honored cause. He kept a picture on his desk of the first Marine who died under his command in Vietnam. He can still recite the names of all other Marines who died under that first command -- and because this is a man with a tender heart, sometimes it's hard for him to get through all the names without choking up a little bit.
General Pace, throughout your life, you have led those troops to honorable achievements and into the pages of history. Because of your example, you can know that with courage, valor and confidence, they will take it from here. And so Godspeed to my friend, General Pete Pace. Thanks for your courage. Thanks for your leadership. And thanks for your service to a country we love. (Applause.) END 12:00 P.M. EDT |

May 26, 2008 THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Mr. Secretary, thank you for the kind introduction. Members of my Cabinet, members of the administration, Admiral Mullen, members of the United States Congress, Senator Warner and Congressman Skelton, members of the military, our veterans, honored guests, families of the fallen: Laura and I are honored to be with you on Memorial Day and thank you for coming. A few moments ago, I placed a wreath upon the tomb of three brave American[s] who gave their lives in service to our nation. The names of these honored are known only to the Creator who delivered them home from the anguish of war -- but their valor is known to us all. It's the same valor that endured the stinging cold of Valley Forge. It is the same valor that planted the proud colors of a great nation on a mountaintop on Iwo Jima. It is the same valor that charged fearlessly through the assault of enemy fire from the mountains of Afghanistan to the deserts of Iraq. It is the valor that has defined the armed forces of the United States of America throughout our history. Today, we gather to honor those who gave everything to preserve our way of life. The men and women we honor here served for liberty. They sacrificed for liberty. And in countless acts of courage, they died for liberty. From faraway lands, they were returned to cemeteries like this one, where broken hearts received their broken bodies -- they found peace beneath the white headstones in the land they fought to defend. It is a solemn reminder of the cost of freedom that the number of headstones in a place such as this grows with every new Memorial Day. In a world where freedom is constantly under attack and in a world where our security is challenged, the joys of liberty are often purchased by the sacrifices of those who serve a cause greater than themselves. Today we mourn and remember all who have given their lives in the line of duty. Today we lift up our hearts especially those who've fallen in the past year. We remember Army Specialist Ronald Tucker of Fountain, Colorado. As a young man, Ronnie was known for having an infectious smile and a prankster's sense of humor. And then he joined the United States Army, which brought out a more mature side in him. Ronnie transformed from a lighthearted teenager into a devoted soldier and a dutiful son who called his mother every day from his post in Iraq. In his final act of duty, less than a month ago, he worked with other members of his unit to build a soccer field for Iraqi children. As he drove back to his base, an enemy bomb robbed him of his life. And today our nation grieves for the loss of Ronnie Tucker. We remember two Navy SEALS -- Nathan Hardy of Durham, New Hampshire, and Michael Koch of State College, Pennsylvania. Nate and Mike were partners in the field and they were close friends in the barracks. Through several missions together, they had developed the unique bond of brotherhood that comes from trusting another with your life. They even shared a battlefield tradition: They would often head into battle with American flags clutched to their chests underneath their uniform. Nate and Mike performed this ritual for the last time on February the 4th -- they both laid down their lives in Iraq after being ambushed by terrorists. These two friends spent their last few moments on earth together, doing what they loved most -- defending the United States of America. Today, Nathan Hardy and Mike Koch lay at rest next to each other right here on the grounds of Arlington. The men and women of American armed forces perform extraordinary acts of heroism every single day. Like the nation they serve, they do not glory in the devastation of war. They also do not flinch from combat when liberty and justice are embattled. Ronald Tucker, Nathan Hardy and Mike Koch make clear, they do not waver -- even in the face of danger. And so today, here in Washington and across our country, we pay tribute to all who have fallen -- a tribute never equal to the debt they are owed. We will forever honor their memories. We will forever search for their comrades, the POWs and MIAs. And we pledge -- we offer a solemn pledge to persevere and to provide the security for our citizens and secure the peace for which they fought. The soil of Arlington and other sites is filled with liberty's defenders. It is nourished by their heroism. It is watered by the silent tears of the mothers and fathers, and husbands and wives, and sons and daughters they left behind. Today we pray for God's blessing on all who grieve and ask the Almighty to strengthen and comfort them today and everyday. On this Memorial Day, I stand before you as the Commander-in-Chief and try to tell you how proud I am at the sacrifice and service of the men and women who wear our uniform. They're an awesome bunch of people and the United States is blessed to have such citizens. (Applause.) I am humbled by those who have made the ultimate sacrifice that allow a free civilization to endure and flourish. It only remains for us, the heirs of their legacy, to have the courage and the character to follow their lead -- and to preserve America as the greatest nation on earth and the last best hope for mankind.

補習-President Bush Attends APEC CEO Summit 2008 |

PRESIDENT BUSH: Gracias, señor. (Laughter.) What he forgot to say, Secretary Rice, is that he went to Notre Dame. She is a great supporter of Notre Dame. And thank you for having me. Laura and I are delighted to be back in your country. This is my second trip as President. I have been looking forward to it. And I appreciate the opportunity to come and discuss the state of the financial situation with such an august group. I want to thank you for making the Asia Pacific region a vibrant part of the world. I believe it is important for the world to recognize, and for our country to recognize, that the United States is a Pacific nation. And over the past eight years, I have made it a priority -- I made APEC a priority. I've been to every single APEC summit. (Applause.) I want to send a clear signal that it's in our nation's interest that we engage actively and consistently with the nations of APEC. My first international trip after September the 11th, 2001, was to an APEC summit in Shanghai. My first trip overseas after my reelection in 2004 was to the APEC summit in Chile. And now that I'm headed to retirement -- (laughter) -- my last trip as President is to APEC here in Lima. (Applause.) This summit comes at a serious time during economic turmoil. And I'm looking forward to our discussions. It is -- also comes at a time of unprecedented cooperation. A week ago in Washington, you might have heard that I had the honor of hosting a summit in what will be the series of international summits to address the financial crisis. I didn't believe we could solve all problems in one meeting, but I did believe it was important for us to host the initial summit to get it started, to lay the foundation for successful -- for meetings. I also didn't believe that the meeting ought to be with kind of a handful of countries. Some suggested, keep the meeting small. I didn't agree with that. And that's why we invited 20 leaders, including eight members of APEC -- because I believe developed nations and developing nations needed to be sitting at the same table to have an honest, fruitful dialogue. (Applause.) After all, nations in Asia and Latin America now contribute more to the world economy than ever before. Nations are feeling the painful effects of the financial crisis; I understand that. And so all of us need to be involved in the solution. And we'll discuss this during our APEC meetings here, starting today. At the summit, leaders from around the world sent a powerful message of unity and determination. We agreed on principles and actions to modernize the financial structures of the 21st century. There's a recognition that while our economies have changed, the financial structures that we are dealing with were primarily written in the 20th century. We believe in transparency and integrity in the markets that will make sure that firms and financial products are subject to proper regulation and oversight. We agreed that the world's financial authorities must improve cooperation, that governments must keep their promises to the developing world. One point I'll make this morning at the APEC summit is to say that the United States is committing -- committed to improving social justice, and we will not let this economic turmoil prevent us from helping nations educate their people, provide good health care, feed the hungry, and deal with diseases like HIV/AIDS and malaria. We agreed that we must reform the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank to better reflect the important role of developing nations. And we agreed to keep our markets open and firmly reject protectionism. (Applause.) All these steps are essential to rebuilding confidence in our financial systems. Yet the only way to regain strength in the long term is sustained economic growth. And among the most powerful engines of that growth are the businesses and workers and entrepreneurs of the Asia Pacific region. A few decades ago, a statement like this would have seemed unimaginable. Many Asia Pacific economies were mired in poverty; their governments pursued backward economic policies. Then leaders started to make bold decisions by opening up their markets, by welcoming investment and trade, and by tapping the potential of the private sector. The results have astonished the world. In the midst of all this turmoil, it's important to remember what has taken place as we chart our future. The APEC region's share of the global economy has grown nearly 55 percent. Isn't that interesting? When we meet today in Lima, Peru, about 55 percent of the total world's economy will be at that table. In a single generation, the percentage of East Asians living in poverty has plummeted from nearly 80 percent to 18 percent. We're witnessing a dramatic shift of history, as the center of the world economic stage moves from West to East -- from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Some view the rise of Asia Pacific with suspicion and fear. America doesn't. The United States welcomes the success of emerging economies throughout the region. We welcome the new hope that comes when people escape poverty and join a confident middle class. We welcome new buyers for our products, and new investors for American enterprise. We welcome new competition that leads our own workers and businesses to be more efficient. In an interconnected global economy, the gains of any advance the interests of all. So over the past eight years, America has engaged this vital region more closely than ever before. Continuing that engagement is especially important during the times of economic strain. The policies of free enterprise that lifted up so many in this region can help chart a path to recovery for the whole world. That's what's important for people to know. That which enabled us to be successful in the past must be used to help us chart a more hopeful future for tomorrow. With confidence in our ideals, we can turn the challenge we face today to an opportunity -- and lead the way toward a new era of prosperity for the Asia Pacific and beyond. So I want to talk today about how to do that and I want to focus -- and I think we ought to focus our efforts on three great forces for economic growth: free markets, free trade, and free people. (Applause.) First, our nations must maintain confidence in the power of free markets. Now, I know in the wake of the financial crisis, free markets have been under very harsh criticism from the left and from the right. It's true the free market system is not perfect. It can be subject to excesses and abuse. As we've seen in recent months, there are times when government intervention is essential to restart frozen markets and to protect overall economic health. Yet it is also essential that nations resist the temptation to overcorrect by imposing regulations that would stifle innovation and choke off growth. The verdict of history is unmistakable: The greater threat to prosperity is not too little government involvement in the market -- it is too much. Over the decades, the free market system has proved the most efficient way and the just way of structuring an economy. Free markets offer people the freedom to choose where they work and what they want; offers people the opportunity to buy or sell products as they see fit; gives people the dignity that comes with profiting from their talent and their hard work. Free markets provide the incentives to lead to prosperity -- the incentive to work, to innovate, to save and invest wisely, and to create jobs for others. And as millions of people pursue these incentives together, whole societies benefit. No region of the world demonstrates the power of free markets more vividly than the Asia Pacific. Free markets helped Japan grow into the world's second-largest economy. Free markets helped South Korea make itself one of the most technologically advanced nations on Earth. Free markets helped Chile triple its economy and cut its poverty rate by more than two-thirds over the past two decades. And last year, free market policies helped make Peru's economy the second-fastest growing in APEC. Secondly, our nations must keep our commitment to free trade. When nations open their markets to trade and investment, businesses and farmers and workers find new buyers for their products. Consumers benefit because they have more choices and better prices. Entrepreneurs get their ideas off the ground with funding from anywhere in the world. Trade is seen as controversial in some places, but here in the Asia Pacific region its benefits are beyond doubt. Trade transformed the economies of the Asian Tigers -- Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan -- into global powerhouses. Trade fueled the rise of a new generation of Tigers -- nations like Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. And in the most dramatic case of all, trade helped lift China out of isolation and poverty -- and into three decades of rapid economic growth and closer engagement with the world. Expanding trade and investment has been one of the highest priorities of my administration. When I took office, America had free trade agreements in force with only three nations. Today, we have agreements in force with 14 -- including China*, Singapore, and Australia. We have agreements that will soon take effect with three more countries, including Peru. We concluded agreements with Colombia, Panama, and South Korea. And it is extremely disappointing that the United States Congress adjourned without passing these three agreements. And I urge all those who support free trade to continuing pressing the case for the Congress to pass free trade agreements with Colombia and Panama and South Korea. (Applause.) I just had a chance to have a cup of coffee with President Uribe. He is a strong leader. He's a good friend. And our Congress and our government must never turn our back on such a friend as Uribe. (Applause.) In addition to negotiating these free trade agreements, my administration supported the accession of China, Taiwan, and Vietnam into the World Trade Organization. We're negotiating bilateral investment treaties with China and Vietnam. We're discussing similar agreements with Taiwan, Indonesia, and Russia. These steps have brought benefits to America, and they brought benefits to our trading partners. Since I took office, America's trade with the world has grown from $2.5 trillion to $4 trillion -- an increase of nearly 60 percent. Trade with Chile and the United States has more than doubled. Trade between Peru and the United States has more than doubled. And trade between China and the United States has more than tripled. Overall, America's trade with APEC nations now accounts for nearly two-thirds of our trade in the world. Greater economic integration in the Asia Pacific advances the interests of all. So earlier this year, America began discussions on a new regional free trade agreement with Brunei and Chile, New Zealand and Singapore. This agreement has the potential to open up new opportunities across the region. And we welcome other APEC members to join, and we appreciate Australia and Peru's recent announcements that they will join. Eventually, this agreement could be the foundation of something even more promising -- a free trade area of the Asia Pacific, where goods and services and capital flow across borders without barriers. The nations in this region must also continuing to work -- must continue to work down -- continue working to break down trade barriers at the global level. We have an immediate opportunity to do so through the Doha Round at the WTO. One of the enduring lessons of the Great Depression is that global protectionism is a path to global economic ruin. At our summit in Washington last weekend, leaders from around the world expressed strong support for completing Doha. Isn't that interesting? Over 20 nations at the table, from all different kinds of backgrounds, expressed solidarity with the idea of completing Doha. And now we've got to put those words into action. I recognize I'm leaving office in two months, but nevertheless, this administration will push hard to put the modalities in place so that Doha can be completed, and so we can send a message: We refuse to accept protectionism in the 21st century. (Applause.) The third great force for economic growth in this region is the limitless potential of free people. As the business leaders in this room understand, the greatest resource any country has is the creativity of its citizens. That's what economists call human capital. And the best way to unleash that resource is, is to build healthy, educated, and democratic societies. One requirement of any free and prosperous society is accountable and effective government. The United States launched the Millennium Challenge Account to invest in nations that fight corruption, pursue wise economic policies, and invest in the health and education of their citizens. Today, Millennium Challenge programs support some of the world's most promising developing nations -- from Indonesia to the Philippines to Peru. This initiative demonstrates a larger truth: Whether it leans left or right, any government that is honest with its people, that exists to serve the people, that advances social justice and desires peace, will have a partner in the United States of America. America is helping build -- helping governments lift the daily burdens that hold their people back, such as hunger and ignorance and disease. We're cooperating with APEC nations to adopt better farming practices and build up local agriculture markets. We're partnering with leaders to defeat the AIDS epidemic in places like Papua New Guinea and Vietnam. We're supporting countries like Indonesia that invest in basic education. We're committed to these efforts. And as I said earlier, we'll be committed to these efforts regardless of the ebb and flow of the markets, and our partners can be confident that the compassion agenda of the United States of America will continue. Ultimately, the only way for a nation to realize its full potential is for its people to live in freedom -- it includes both economic and political freedom. When people are free to profit from their abilities, they prosper. When people prosper, they demand more liberty in other areas of their lives. And we have seen this story unfold throughout this region. To continue freedom's momentum, the United States and other free nations are taking practical steps to support young democracies through the Asia Pacific Democracy Partnership. We recognize that democracies develop at their own speeds, consistent with their own cultures. But when people experience the dignity and the opportunity that freedom brings, they never turn back. I've told people a lot since my presidency this truth: I believe there is an Almighty. And I believe a gift of that Almighty to every man, woman and child on the face of the Earth is freedom. (Applause.) As we look to the future, the tasks facing our nations are no doubt demanding. Recovering from the financial crisis is going to take time. But we'll recover, and in so doing, begin a new era of prosperity. The nations of APEC have faced tests before. We have risen to meet them together, and we will do so again. Over the past eight years, we've taken measures to protect our people from terror and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. We've responded to natural disasters. We've worked to prevent the spread of potential pandemic diseases like avian flu and SARS. We've worked to confront climate change and usher in a new age of clean energy. We're standing for a Korean Peninsula free of nuclear weapons -- and with a Burma free of repression. Above all, we can be confident in the future of this region because we know the spirit of its people. And I've seen it firsthand. When I attended my first APEC summit in Shanghai -- just a few weeks after September the 11th, 2001 -- I said that America would always remember the signs of support from our friends in the region. I remember the American flag flying from every fire truck in Montreal, Canada. I remember children kneeling in silent prayer outside our embassy in Seoul. I remember baseball players in Japan observing moments of silence. I remember a sign handwritten in English at a candlelight vigil in Beijing that read, Freedom and justice will not be stopped. The bonds of unity we felt then remain today, and they will always remain. Long after this crisis has passed, the United States of America will stay engaged in this region. We will continue working with our partners to build an Asia Pacific where people can work and worship and trade in freedom, where children grow up with hope and pursue their dreams, and where thriving, prosperous nations continue to inspire the world. Thanks for letting me come by. Que Dios le bendiga. God bless. (Applause.) |
