The oldest son of rocker John Mellencamp surrendered for arrest Monday on charges of punching and kicking a 19-year-old man in southern Indiana.
Hud Mellencamp, 19, was released on bond after being booked early Monday in Monroe County, Ind., on the felony battery charges. Hud Mellencamp's 18-year-old brother, Speck Mellencamp, bonded out of jail on the same charges Friday.
Authorities say Speck Mellencamp entered the porch of a Alexander Bucy's Bloomington home and punched him in the face July 29, believing that Bucy had hit him earlier that evening.
Court documents say the brothers and 19-year-old Ty A. Smith "punched, kicked and stomped" Bucy, who suffered facial fractures and received stitches at a local hospital.
Speck Mellencamp told officers he had been at a party at the Bucy's home earlier when two girls began fighting over him, and that a white male punched him as he tried to stop the girls' fight. Speck Mellencamp said his assailant ran into the house.
He said he "was very upset about being punched" but soon left and went home, where he, his brother and Smith decided to return.
Hud Mellencamp is a sophomore cornerback for Duke University's football team. He walked on to Duke's football team in 2012 as a freshman.
Hud Mellencamp did not see game action in 2012.
In a statement issued Thursday night, Duke football coach David Cutcliffe acknowledged the charges against Hud Mellencamp.
"Currently, we are giving him the opportunity to return to Indiana to address his legal issues," Cutcliffe said. "We will refrain from any further comment until more information becomes available."
According to Duke Athletics' website, Hud Mellencamp was a two-time Golden Gloves division boxing champion in Indiana and Junior Olympics state boxing champion.
John Mellencamp's publicist has declined comment. The singer lives near Bloomington, 50 miles south of Indianapolis.

The Medical Journalism session at ScienceOnline2010 was held entirely in unconference format and I think it went extremely well. A description of the session can also be found here. We focused on several current issues, including:
- recent scientific recommendations regarding breast and prostate cancer screening
- the frequent lack of statistical understanding when it comes to journalists reporting on medical research
- the difficulty in finding quality medical information on the first few pages of Google search results
- pharma and FDA regulations surrounding social media engagement
Quite often in medical reporting, anecdote trumps data; participants in the session agreed that the best way to report on research is to tell a story, backed by facts.
Session statistics and conversation:
Below is a transcript of Twitter conversation in chronological order of posting during the ScienceOnline2010 session "Medical Journalism".

Can I just be a sub?
We will have a sub pool that you can sign up to be in. You will be charged a fee only when you play. The playing time will depend on demand. Per game fee: Free (Member), $20 (non-member).
What if I can't make it, can I call a friend to sub for me?

Why does it cost so much?
Ice time and rocks are expensive, and each game lasts for about two hours. Unfortunately, we have to pass that charge along. As we get rocks paid off, we might be able to lower the cost a bit.

Is Faith inherently irrational?
I would like to propose the motion that faith is inherently irrational.
I consider rationality (in a nutshell) to be:
'An accurate apportionment of belief in a statement concerning the objective nature of reality, with respect to the available evidence.'
I can think of no better definition of faith than the exact opposite of this:
'A grossly inaccurate apportionment of belief in a statement concerning the objective nature of reality, with respect to the available evidence.'
However, I invite those who have faith, and profess it as a virtue, to submit their definition of faith.
(EDIT 16/9/12: This is intended to be a discussion on the nature of religious faith, of the sort people cite when putting forward claims of the supernatural, of gods, of an afterlife etc.... This is not intended to be a discussion of the wider concepts of hope, loyalty, trust or monogamy, but feel free to mention them in passing, or in comparison to faith. ENDEDIT).
Joseph Dorrell
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Sep 14 2012: Faith is not 'inherently' irrational, which is to say, faith in itself is not based on irrational thought.
Faith, in the truly Christian sense, only means that one can state with certainty that what has not yet happened has in fact already happened.
OK that does sound irrational, but let me try to put it this way: you've heard the phrase " Dress for the job you want, not for the oneyou have.". Imagine you are so certain that you will get that greeat job, that faith guides you to dress the part, and diligently to prepare for those responsibilities, to learn what you need to know so that one day,when everybody elseknows what you knew all along, that you were going to be in that position, you are ready. That's faith.
Irrational faith is just going into the office, plunking yourself down in the big chair and issuing wild orders until security comes to take you away.
Sep 14 2012: May I suggest that that what you describe is confidence in one's own ability and/or worth, which leads to others confidence in the same. This, again, is not the type of faith for which I am asking a definition. Your example is telling: like the job, are you suggesting that the faithful simply pretend that a god exists until the people around them start to pretend along with them?
Sep 18 2012: May I suggest if you've already answered your own question, then it is not necessary to ask of others?
Your question is telling. You believe that faith is inherently irrational, and thus should be diacarded. My example was an illustration between rational and irrational faith.
Faith can be irrational. Or rational, depending on the person. But faith is not inherently irrational, because it does not go against reason, but rather, qualifies reason.
Sep 18 2012: It's not a question thread, it's a debate: I have put forward a proposition and I am defending it!
However, to open up the debate I asked for alternative explanations and definitions of faith (the kind of faith that is cited when proposing supernatural phenomenon), in order to explore peoples views, and see if there were any arguments that I hadn't yet heard.
If I have misunderstood your example, please go back and explain what you mean by your example with the job and the clothes. If there is a deeper meaning that was lost on me, then I apologise for the flippancy of my original answer.
Sep 22 2012: Thank you for the explanation. Yes, I did misinterpret your response and being flippant, but I must apologise for my somewhat testy response in return.
I realise my example is rather facile, and really touches only the surface of faith. But I use it to illustrate the difference between rational faith and irrational faith. Again, faith is essentially being certain that what will come to be will indeed come to be, and to prepare oneself for that eventuality so much that you, in a sense, act as though it has already come to pass. That is how faith, very logically, prepares you. This may seem like a self-fulfilling prophesy, the power of positive thinking, whatnot, but it is quite rational.
Unless taken to the extreme - such as disaster mongers who "know" for certain that the world will end unless they jump off a two-story rock in AZ on 12-21-2012, ripping a hole in the fabric of space time and thus saving the universe. (Just saw that guy a few nights ago on TV - an example of irrational faith)
Granted, faith does not always have to mean faith in God. I speak of Christian faith because that is where I draw my faith. That does not mean I disparage the rationality of the sources of other people's faith.
The central tenet of Christian faith is to realise, however, that we as humans, can lead ourselves astray. Our own whims and desires can alter our impression of what is logical, or even rational. That's why we are called to study this force beyond our understanding (God) so that we can attain an objective viewpoint on our world, our fellow humans, our universe, and our lives.
I'm not saying it all makes sense. I'm not even saying I can explain it with any sort of coherency. All I'm saying is that faith is not INHERENTLY irrational. It certainly CAN be, but not in and of itself.
Thanks for allowing me to clarify.

The Corcoran 2005 Print Portfolio: Drawn to Representation
For over a century the Corcoran Gallery of Art has been an important venue for modern art in the nation's capital, organizing regular exhibitions ofpainting, sculpture, and printmaking. In 2005 we are pleased to demonstrateour support and encouragement of contemporary printmaking with a newventure, the first Corcoran Print Portfolio, featuring works by twenty-fouraccomplished printmakers. This exhibition marks the publication of theportfolio, and includes both the portfolio prints and additional examples bythese artists from the Corcoran's permanent collection and on loan fromprintmakers and private collectors.
The 2005 Portfolio celebrates two important aspects of the contemporary print scene: an abiding interest in the traditional craft of printmaking, and the continuing use of representation as a viable mode of artistic expression. Each of the twenty-four artists was chosen for proven achievement in the graphic arts, for distinctive draftsmanship, and for a keen sense of design. These are, in every sense, printmakers's printmakers. The artists included also have demonstrated a clear preference for representation in their creation of contemporary imagery. All art is essentially abstract, but these printmakers continue to value referentialelements as a significant aspect of their work.
In selecting the 2005 Portfolio artists, we were mindful that some of the most intriguing printmaking in the world today occurs in more isolated settings, produced by teachers, independent printmakers, and small workshops composed of just a few printers and technicians. These individual printmakers and smaller shops create images that are sometimes powerful, often quirky, but always compelling in their individuality. Our goal with this project is to celebrate the achievements of contemporary printmakers and to encourage collectors, scholars, artists, and students to enjoy a deeper appreciation of the graphic arts. We are pleased to present the Corcoran 2005 Print Portfolio: Drawn to Representation, replete with outstanding works by twenty-four highly skilled printmakers from around the globe.

1. OUCS policy
OUCS staff make extensive use of open source software to deliver services, and take advantage of the freedom to examine the source code, fix it, and enhance it. The department recognizes that participation in community open source development is valuable for both staff development and enhancement of the University's reputation, as well as improving the software itself for the benefit of all. However, the copyright in code created during this process by University staff typically belongs to the University, and should not be distributed outside the institution without due permission. Note that such distributed code remains the property of the University of Oxford. Any future changes, such as licence changes, are subject to this policy's terms.
Staff will be asked to update the register once a year and confirm their involvement. The Director will include a summary of the register in the OUCS annual report. The line managers of staff named in the register are required to inform the Director of any changes relating to those staff members in terms of status, funding or nature of their contributions as such changes occur so that the Director can assess whether or not it is appropriate for the staff member to continue contributing to the open source project in question. In addition it is the responsibility of line managers to ensure that all staff who are contributing to open source projects adhere to the reporting requirements set out in this policy.
This policy only applies to OUCS staff whose posts or work are not underpinned by any kind of sponsored support (for example project funding). Other OUCS staff must consult the Research Services Office to establish whether the terms and conditions associated with their sponsored support permit the release of their work under an open source licence.
2. Background
Ownership of IPR created by the University's employees and students is governed by Part B of Statute XVI of the University's Statutes and Regulations (http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/statutes/790-121.shtml).
Before any work is contributed to an open source project it is essential that the first question be 'who funded this', and all software developers at any level must be clear who is paying for any given piece of work. Industrial or academic collaborations, and multiple funding sources, make this a difficult area. Software must not be contributed to an open source project unless and until all the funding sources and any associated terms and conditions are clear. Contact with the University's Research Services Office will be necessary to establish these details in the case of OUCS work which enjoys support from sponsorship.
Where contributions to an open source project are only accepted if the IPR is entirely assigned (as opposed to licensed) to the project, the University must be assured of a reciprocal perpetual licence for itself and its creating employees/students to use the work for academic and research purposes. Such assignments will need to be checked by Legal Services.

Tamarine & Kimiko Make History
Published October 16, 2010 12:00
OSAKA, Japan - Kimiko Date Krumm and Tamarine Tanasugarn chalked up another victory for veterans in Osaka on Saturday, surprising two of the Top 20 players in the world to reach the final of the HP Open. With a combined age of 73 years, it is the oldest known final in Sony Ericsson WTA Tour history.
Tanasugarn was the first of the two to advance, upsetting No.2 seed Marion Bartoli, 62 75. After Tanasugarn took the first set handily, they stayed on serve through 5-all in the second set; the Thai, 33, broke for 6-5 then served it out.
"I focused on being aggressive and enjoying myself," said Tanasugarn, who reached her second final of the year, having been runner-up in Pattaya City in February. "Now it's almost the end of the year and I'm in another final. It is helping me to build confidence for hopefully having a good start to next year."
A day after stunning No.1 seed Samantha Stosur in a near-three hour duel, No.6 seed Date Krumm pulled off another upset, this time over No.3 seed Shahar Peer, winning in two hours and 58 minutes, 36 76(5) 75. Peer led 63 20 and served for it at 63 54, but the 40-year-old Date Krumm kept fighting and eventually wore her 23-year-old opponent, ranked a career-high No.13, down.
Check out some of Kimiko's best career moments in this special gallery!
Not only is this the oldest known final ever, Date Krumm is trying to become the first 40-something ever to win a title (right now the record belongs to Billie Jean King, who won Birmingham in 1983 at 39 years and seven months).
Date Krumm and Tanasugarn are tied in their head-to-head, 1-1. Date Krumm has an 8-6 career record in finals; Tanasugarn is 3-7 in finals.
"Kimiko is incredible and amazing," Tanasugarn said about her final opponent. "She has played very well recently, particularly in Tokyo. I don't think I can play as long as she is, though. I'll probably be doing something else at 40!"

(AP) — Environmental officials say a dog that was initially reported to
have been killed by a black bear outside a northern New Jersey home may
have died from other unknown causes.
Authorities are still probing the reported attack, which occurred around 10 a.m. Tuesday in Vernon Township.
witness told police that the dog, a Husky, had been chasing after the
bear before the bruin attacked it. The bear had fled the scene by the
time officers arrived.
Larry Hajna (HAY'-nah), a spokesman for the
state Department of Environmental Protection, told The Star-Ledger
(http://bit.ly/MGgbcX) that there were no visible signs of external
injuries on the dog. So officials are still trying to determine what
caused its death.

Former D.C. Police Chief Charles Ramsey met with Vice President Joe Biden (and other cabinet members) Thursday on the issue of gun control.
It was the first meeting of a White House working group which has been given the task of coming up with policy suggestions to make the nation safer. President Barack Obama established the group in the wake of a school shooting in Connecticut in which 20 children were murdered, as well as a half dozen adults.
In a brief photo opportunity at the top of the meeting, Vice President Biden told several law enforcement leaders, "The President is absolutely committed to keeping his promise that we will act. And we will act in a way that ... if we can only save one life, we have to take action."
The medical examiner in Connecticut has concluded that the shooter used an assault rifle to murder the children and adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Vice President Biden indicated the administration will quickly ask Congress to re-impose the ban on sales of assault rifles. To do that, Biden told the meeting, "We're going to need the advocacy of the law enforcement organizations in this country."
Sitting to the left of the Vice President was Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey, who used to be the police chief here in D.C.
Ramsey supports reestablishing the ban on selling assault weapons in the U.S. He has other suggestions on gun safety, including closing "The gun show loophole [which allows] private sales between individuals."
Ramsey also suggests federal scrutiny in other areas: "Internet sales of ammunition and firearms. There's technology such as micro-stamping new weapons that should, perhaps, be explored. In addition to that, technology to create a database, so that it makes it a little easier to trace some of these guns."
On Friday, Attorney General Eric Holder, who is also on the special working group, will travel to Connecticut to speak with law enforcement officials who had to respond to the shooting spree.
Also on Friday, representatives of the National Rifle Association will give that organization's first detailed response to the murders in Connecticut and to the subsequent calls for restrictions on firearms.
That NRA news conference will take place in Washington at 10:45 a.m.

'Robo-signing' is baaaack
Actually, investigations by Reuters and the AP find that sloppy, illegal handling of mortgage documents never stopped. The problems add fuel to housing morass.
This post comes from Marilyn Lewis of MSN Money.
Despite widespread media coverage, public outrage, federal and state investigations, and promises by the banks themselves to stop, "robo-signing" continues by many lenders in many states, according to separate new investigations by Reuters and The Associated Press.
The Associated Press says, "Mortgage industry employees are still signing documents they haven't read and using fake signatures more than eight months after big banks and mortgage companies promised to stop the illegal practices that led to a nationwide halt of home foreclosures."
Reuters has found that some of the biggest U.S. banks and other "loan servicers" continue to file questionable foreclosure documents with courts and county clerks. They are using tactics that late last year triggered an outcry, multiple investigations and temporary moratoriums on foreclosures.
In recent months, servicers have filed thousands of documents that appear to have been fabricated or improperly altered, or have sworn to false facts.
"Bruising scandal"
"Robo-signing" is slang for document-handling practices ranging from sloppy to illegal. Bank and mortgage company employees forge signatures, use phony titles or sign and notarize legal documents without verifying what's in them.
Some say it involves careless but harmless shortcuts. Others -- including some courts -- call the actions illegal and say they undermine the integrity of the system of property records on which property ownership rests.
"Increasingly, though, courts are holding that the trusts suing to foreclose don't actually own the mortgages," says Reuters.
Significantly, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court overturned a foreclosure in January. One justice wrote that "foreclosure is a powerful act with significant consequences" and has to be done legally.
"America's leading mortgage lenders vowed in March to end the dubious foreclosure practices that caused a bruising scandal last year," Reuters says.
But Reuters reporters found 1,000 mortgage assignments with various problems and inaccuracies when reviewing case files from attorneys and combing online databases in Florida, Massachusetts, New York, and North and South Carolina.
The AP reports that "county officials in at least three states say they have received thousands of mortgage documents with questionable signatures since last fall." The story quotes county officials in Massachusetts, Michigan and North Carolina.
Phony signatures
The AP investigation focuses on phony signatures on legal documents used to foreclose. Previously, investigators and attorneys had identified a number of signatures believed to be bogus. These signatures are still showing up in an improbable number of documents and often appear to be done by many different hands, the AP says.
Banks that acknowledged problems blamed them on overworked employees and offices overloaded with a flood of foreclosures.
Last fall, robo-signing problems showed up among foreclosure documents. Now, though, the AP says, robo-signing turns up in refinancing and new purchases and affects borrowers in good standing.
"Robo-signing is not even close to over," says Curtis Hertel, the recorder of deeds in Ingham County, Mich., which includes Lansing. "It's still an epidemic."
Robo-signing worsens the crisis
The housing crisis began when the price bubble burst, taking inflated values back to earth in most parts of the U.S. Where too many new homes had been built by speculating developers -- mostly in Nevada, Florida, California and Arizona -- the speculating buyers disappeared, causing real estate markets to collapse.
Initial defaults and foreclosures were by homeowners who'd bought flimsy mortgages with unsustainable payments. More were triggered by unemployment, the prime cause today.
Federal efforts haven't convinced banks to modify significant numbers of defaulting mortgages. The overhang of pending foreclosures prevents housing from healing. Post continues after video.
Robo-signing exacerbates the crisis. Once it was discovered, foreclosures ground to a halt as state and federal officials investigated and several banks -- including Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Ally Financial, HSBC -- initiated moratoriums while looking into their practices.
In April, after a federal investigation, the 14 largest banks agreed to improve procedures and reimburse homeowners who'd been wrongfully foreclosed on as a result.
Critics called it a slap on the wrist. Liberal economist Paul Krugman says the country is "letting bankers walk."
Of these companies, Reuters has found at least five that in recent months have filed foreclosure documents of questionable validity: OneWest, Bank of America, HSBC Bank USA, Wells Fargo and GMAC Mortgage.
So have half a dozen large servicers that weren't party to the agreements, including Ocwen Financial Corp and units of Credit Suisse Group AG.
Spokesmen for the banks and servicers named in this article said that they halted any wrongdoing after disclosures last autumn of robo-signing led them to revise their practices, and they denied filing false documents since then.
A separate investigation and effort by state attorneys general to forge an independent -- and, some hope, tougher -- settlement is moving slowly, Reuters reports. Meanwhile, foreclosures are picking back up but "processing problems at the major mortgage servicers" have kicked up to a million foreclosure actions into next year, HousingWire writes.
Homeowner attorneys further slow foreclosures by objecting to flawed legal documents; bank servicing units reportedly are slow to respond when their practices are challenged.
These delays push the housing recovery further into the future, writes Bloomberg.
Today, The New York Times writes that backed-up foreclosures reward defaulting homeowners with free rent indefinitely: "In New York State, it would take lenders 62 years at their current pace, the longest time frame in the nation, to repossess the 213,000 houses now in severe default or foreclosure, according to calculations by LPS Applied Analytics, a prominent real-estate data firm."
New Jersey has 42 years of repossessions ahead of it, and it will take 10 years to repossess all the homes with defaulting mortgages in Massachusetts, Illinois and Florida, says the Times.

Friday's storms left one Longview business heavily damaged. Lakeview Funeral Home General Manager Bill Wright said they purchased a new roof about two years ago, but it could not withstand the heavy rain. Wright said their receptionist usually sits in the front of the building, but after hearing some strange noises Friday afternoon, she left the room.
Wright said not three minutes later, the roof completely collapsed, right where she had been sitting. Now, her desk it just a pile of rubble."The structure had all of the water funneling towards the entrance of the funeral home and because of that heavy rain and that weight, it just collapsed," Wright explained.Fortunately, because all of the employees were in another part of the building, no one was injured."The one person that we had in our care was quickly taken to another facility for their safety," Wright said.Despite all of this damage, Wright said they are still open for business. "We are operating this business on a daily basis. We've certainly made arrangements with area churches and other area businesses to provide us an ability to conduct services and visitations and things of this nature," he explained.He said he is thankful for the assistance and well-wishes they have received. "Lakeview Funeral Home and Lakeview Memorial Park as well as Memory Park here in town, they've been a mainstay here in this community, and very well known and we are a very respected business. This community is a tight community, so when there are folks that are in need of help, people call."
Wright added they have received an outpouring of support from not only families they work with, but the general public as well.
He says they brought in experts from throughout the country, but will be using local sub-contractors.
If everything goes as planned, they should start demolition on Wednesday, but they do not have a completion date set.

Net-a-Porter closed down the Waverly Inn for a private dinner for Christopher Kane on Saturday night, and the restaurant was packed with the designer's ardent supporters. There is no shortage of those. In her toast, Net-a-Porter president and the evening's host, Alison Loehnis, revealed that the site shipped Kane pieces to women in eighty-six countries last year. Alexa Chung was one of them. "There are a lot of things you'll just wear for one season," she told Style.com. "But Christopher is so funky that you'll have it forever. Like these pockets," she said in reference to Spring 2014's teardrops at her waist. "The cutouts seem odd at first, but they're just perfect."
Kane spent the evening catching up with the likes of Caroline Sieber and Dree Hemingway. "Obviously it's always good to see old friends," he said. "But what I really love is to just walk around when I'm here. I think you can see so many things on the street in New York."
Meanwhile, on Friday night, Domenico Dolce was the guest of honor at a Metropolitan Club dinner hosted by Saks Fifth Avenue's Marigay McKee. And early on Sunday evening, a special appearance by Kirsten Dunst and Rodarte's Kate and Laura Mulleavy lured partygoers to Nevena Borissova's Curve boutique. The designers signed limited-edition copies of their book hand-painted by the artist Rebekah Miles.

The Wampler Euphoria overdrive delivers clean tones to distorted tones while adding a bit of warmth. If you love the sound of your clean tone, and just wish you could have more "hair" on the note this is the overdrive you've been looking for.When Brian Wampler created the circuit that would eventually become the Euphoria, he was working on creating a pedal that would go from clean tones to distorted tones while adding a bit of warmth. He wanted something for himself that would be dynamic, have a great sounding "gritty" tone to it yet be able to respond to the volume knob like a tube amp. Everything about Brian is in the dynamics of sound and if a pedal can't work with him dynamically, then he just can't use it.
All Wampler Pedals, Inc. pedals carry a 5-year, fully transferable warranty that covers defects due to parts and labor. The warranty begins at the point of purchase.

How can corruption in the Nigerian political system be thwarted?
Any suggestions are appreciated; please cite sources to your argument rather than blathering on about it without proper knowledge. However, any discussion is good discussion!
Topics: corruption nigeria
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Apr 16 2012: eeer, wait. how could we find sources to cite about an event that haven't happened yet? can we cite a future teller orb? nobody on the world is an expert of how to get rid of corruption, or if there is, his track record is pathetic. how to fight corruption is an ongoing debate, and honestly, i haven't seen any convincing result so far. even the much easier question of what the causes of corruption are is very complex, and i believe largely unanswered.
Zdenek Smith 100+Apr 16 2012: I think there is a simple solution.
The society needs to demand and embrace transparency on all level of government and corporate structure.
It is also important to teach kids and general population about ethics, morality. Civil servants need to receive decent wages so they are less likely to take bribes.
Here is a positive news from Nigeria:
Apr 16 2012: Nigeria is in attempts of being a democratic government (though it is running off of a uni-party system), and complaints from the Nairaland forum are rampant. I believe their corruption issue could be solved through UN-imposed embargos.. as Nigeria works off of oil-rents and exports, this would pain such a corrupt government to try and enact change.
I'm a firm believer in money being a changing factor; be it trade embargos or foreign aid retainment.
As for implementation of transparency, such things must be taught, as Zdenek says, at a young age (described here: http://www.leadership.ng/nga/articles/17403/2012/02/26/how_end_corruption_nigeria_–_icpc_boss.html)
Once such a thing is taught, the young age group must implement it. Civilian to State, rather than any other fashion. I'm a dreamer, I suppose.
Apr 17 2012: There are many ways that lead to transparency. Even if government is generally corrupt, if the elected leader has fight of corruption on his/her agenda then things can change.
Another option is for people to organize themselves and demand more transparency. People can start at local level within their community.
News reporters and bloggers can also play important role in showing corruption and explaining laws that need to be created to fight corruption.
Apr 17 2012: Zdenek, what do you think of this? It is a counter-argument to my trade-embargo idea; a more humane pathway I suppose:
If the United Nations were to put their foot down and decree that Nigeria is to not be given foreign aid unless their political leadership became transparent in their financial spending down to the single naira, corruption would become very difficult to preserve. The UN must participate in the sanctioning of this decree; hiring a third-party group (using part of Nigeria's proposed foreign aid injection) to fully evaluate the finances of Nigeria for an extended period of time. This third-party group could later hire Nigerian citizens with basic mathematical or accounting skills in order to teach them as permanent watchdogs of the Nigerian government. All participants must be paid handsomely in order to hamper the possibility of being bribed. All interactions with governing members of Nigeria must be watched closely to ensure the forestalling of bribery and all finances being accounted for. Even if this sounds like an expensive, lengthy, and drastic step, it is a necessary one for Nigeria to move forward and away from the plague of monetary corruption.
