A day at the Center for Global Development

I spent a day on Friday at the Center for Global Development (CGD), where I serve as chair of the research advisory group. Under the creative and imaginative leadership of Nancy Birdsall, the CGD has turned itself into the pre-eminent think tank on development issues in the United States in the span of a few years.  Its annual Commitment to Development Index is a powerful instrument for shaming rich governments, as well as patting on the back those who do well.

I got to hear about the new work going on at the Center: Steve Radelet's work on Liberia, Ruth Levine's ongoing work in health and program evaluation, Michael Clemens' research on migration, Mead Over's work on HIV/AIDS, David Wheeler's work on climate change, among others. David Roodman, whose Stata code for running system GMM has become a staple among users (never mind if this sounds Greek to you), was not there but he is a real asset to the organization.

And here is a tip: tune to the CGD website for an important announcement on November 14th.

There were timberland 6 inch sensitivity and a beauty to her that have nothing to do with timberland 6 inch boots looks. She was one to be listened to, whose words were so easy to take to timberland boots sale heart.I used to find notes left in the collection basket, beautiful timberland boots outlet notes about my homilies and about the writer's black timberland boots thoughts on the daily scriptural readings. The person who penned the notes mens timberland boots would add reflections to my thoughts and would always include some timberland pro boots quotes from poets and mystics he or she had white timberland boots read and remembered and loved. The notes fascinated black timberland shoes uk me. Here was someone immersed in a search for truth and beauty. Words had been cheap timberland boots treasured, words that were beautiful.

Sometimes when I write, I just let the flow of the words and information come out so much that I loose the purpose. It’s only after editing when I realize what I’ve done. There’s defiantly a lot of great tips here I’m going to try to be more aware of.
