The Economist really does have its head up its own proverbial. Having lauded spending cuts as the way forward from depression, it still refuses to accept the obvious: that this has promoted double dip recession. Playing around with a few knobs and levers - land tax and immigration - will do zip for Britain's fundamentally flawed economy.
Driven by Thatcherism, Britain ditched its industry to become primarily a financial parasite, dependent on world growth and asset speculation to drive its financial markets and economy. The same is true of the US and most countries ruled by neoliberal economic ideology. Their only answer now is to slash interest rates and bond yields in the hope of driving another financial boom, no doubt to be followed by another bust. Debt underpins the whole shebang, and without real revenue, national debt will continue to climb.
Britain's econonomic model is a failed experiment, and economists don't have the answer, they are the problem.
These sentences don't go together.
"George Osborne, is part-way through a commendable course of austerity that aims to eradicate the structural budget deficit, currently 3.6% of GDP, and start lowering the debt-to-GDP ratio by 2017-18. But sluggish growth is keeping benefit payments up and tax revenues down, putting the goal out of reach. Debt has risen from £600 billion in 2008 to £1.1 trillion now."
Let's rephrase that.
"George Osborne's policies have failed in their entirety to reach their goals and have in fact made things worse. In the opinion of this newspaper, this is commendable."
I can understand his intentions being commendable, and I can understand writing this article in 2009 or 2010. But we're three years after that and we know cutting spending during a recession is a bad idea. It doesn't matter if a country is cutting to reduce deficits or to squirrel away cash for a palace on the moon. In either case, the government cutting spending at the same as everyone else cutting spending will prolong the recession.
Ignoring the past three years seems like anything but commendable.
What absolute drivel. The reason bond yields are low is because the Bank of England is MONETIZING THE DEBT (around 30% of government debt is now held by the Bank of England). Nominal GDP targetting is a catalyst for high inflation. We need a slow rise in interest rates.
We need simplification of the tax system and lower taxes and George Osborne is almost three years has completely failed on the supply side reforms.
The Economist needs to stop brown nosing Osborne and Cameron and learn some basic economics.
We do need more demand-boosting credit creation (whether public or private) if we want short term growth, but that has to be self-financing (i.e. investment funding) if it is to prove sustainable over the long run.
1) equitize corporation tax. Offer zero percent corporation tax for all new businesses, and for all existing businesses which provide government a 5% equity stake on UK operations. With access to much cheaper finance at the margin, businesses will be able to take advantage of low market bond yields, investing heavily in productivity-boosting capital projects. More competitive capital goods are key to export performance. More investment means more demand & output today, plus higher productivity & output in future.
2) invest heavily in a Severn Estuary barrier (for 10% of electricity sustainably at very low marginal cost) and a NorNed-style electricity cable to Iceland (bringing 10 GW of geothermal power, or a further 17% of electricity sustainably at under 5p per kWh).
3) eliminate APD (Scotland & North of England depend on cheap international air travel). Accelerate construction of major new airport capacity in the South of England. Build a major 6 runway airport near Folkstone (i.e. on the HS1 line into London). Break up the airline market for more competitive pressure - BA must die, and competition authorities must intervene to ensure competitive bidding for runway allotments. Work to build a Transatlantic (i.e. EU, US, Canada, Mexico, Central America, Caribbean, Ukraine, Turkey & North Africa) version of the European Common Aviation Area (with the same regulatory standards in all states, and free market participation of all airlines everywhere). Real competition & productivity growth.
4) internet: we need ubiquitous open access wifi across all towns and cities, shopping centres, restaurants, airports, railway stations, bus stops, service stations, etc. It is dirt cheap - there are several US cities already doing this. Some regulatory changes might be needed to remove all legal liability (e.g. network providers should not be given any hassle when network users download stuff illegally). The economics of ubiquitous internet trump vain attempts by copyright holders to extract excessive rents through overwhelming bureaucracy.
5) free up 100 square km (or so) of greenbelt land around London (i.e. a 6% land area expansion) for high density (mixed purpose residential & commercial) construction in the next 3 years. Plan for early transport integration. It is essential that urgent supply constraints be met where potential returns are highest and most can be done to improve human living standards.
6) government construction: ducting of all utilities on major roads. This means running 1m internal diameter (accessible from the inside) concrete pipes under the pavements on every major street (with cross sections running between both sides), and run all water pipes, gas lines, electricity cables, fibre optics & phone lines down the inside. That allows utilities companies to maintain excellent communications (water without leaking a third of all fresh water; easy & cheap to install the latest broadband cables; easy & cheap to roll out new electricity infrastructure if electric cars or new generation patterns require this in future; etc), will allow us to lay & maintain high quality baby's-bum-smooth road surfaces, will largely eliminate the cost (currently mostly externality) of traffic disruption and will allow us to install modern real time sensors to track & regulate the performance & safety of our network & distribution infrastructure. There are tens of billions of sterling in potential high-return infrastructure investments like this.
7) eliminate reduced VAT rates. Universal subsidies (for food and domestic energy consumption) are regressive and prohibitively expensive. Get rid of these subsidies, and households will invest far more in home insulation or energy saving capital goods (creating more demand today). Eliminate the tax distortion currently forcing people to buy cold food, and we will see more demand (and unskilled employment) for restaurants & prepared foods. The saved universal subsidy revenue can be spent boosting benefits for the most disadvantaged, while the removal of this tax distortion will go a long way to boosting investment and growth.
8) cut military spending to the bone. 1.5% of GDP is fine. Forget replacing Trident - a land based deterrent will suffice. Forget aircraft carriers - there are friendly airfields everywhere; if a 40m Swedish stealth submarine can sink a Nimitz class aircraft carrier and China is already manufacturing carrier-killer missiles, do aircraft carriers even make strategic sense? Cut the armed forces down to 25,000 or so - any future wars will be fought by drones. In any case, as a medium sized country in sleepy Europe, there's no real reason to spend so much more than Spain or Germany. In today's world, influence is won by economic strength.
GDP per capita is badly down on pre-crisis levels.
In nominal euro denominated terms (not even deflating), UK GDP per capita is down 12% since Q4 2007 (to Q4 2012). Down by approximately 20% in deflated euro terms. For somebody that likes imported electronics and does a large part of their consumption in other European countries, that badly hurts.
Even for the average person who's consumption is more heavily weighted on sterling-denominated rents & domestic labour, UK GDP per capita (in deflated sterling) is down. Since the boom, GDP/ capita growth has been:
2008: _____ -1.62%
2009: _____ -4.62%
2010: _____ 1.11%
2011: _____ 0.1%
2012*: ____ -0.4%
* approximation, based on 0.3% GDP growth estimate for 2012 and 0.7% population growth estimate
That gives us a GDP/ capita that is 0.9838*0.9538*1.0111*1.001*0.996 = 0.9459 times the level of 2007. In other words, UK output per capita, in deflated sterling terms, is roughly 5.4% lower than it was at the pre-recession peak.
So you're simply wrong in your assertion of GDP per capita (being at pre-crash levels). We're far below, with no prospect of reaching pre-crisis per-capita levels (in deflated sterling terms) before 2017.
As for the rest of your remarks, it's a struggle to glean much from them. You seem to flat-out deny the possibility of productivity improvements in the NHS (which is absurd - the NHS is our greatest bastion of waste & bureaucracy, even if it isn't at US proportions). You also seem to have a weird fixation with migration, when what we really want is productivity growth & income growth (the right kinds of immigration would actually help there, by defraying legacy debt and justifying higher investment activity).
The UK is stuck in a debt trap. A large proportion of growth during the boom years was phony. It was created by excess credit and borrowing by government and households. Most of the borrowed money was wasted on increasing the size of the state, speculation on the property market and consumption.
QE is helping to prop up the banks and asset prices and the money is not getting into the real economy. A slide in asset prices would force banks to start recognizing losses, prompting more sales. This could start a downward price spiral and destroy the banks.
The UK had the biggest financial sector of any major country. The financial sector, and the bubble in property prices, were relied on to provide a substantial contribution to government revenue. The damage inflicted on the banking system has severely restricted credit flows - especially to small and medium-sized companies.
In addition, business investment has suffered because of the huge uncertainty about the future level of demand.
Household spending has been squeezed because of persistently high inflation, which has eroded real wages. Recent figures from the Treasury suggests that the main factor weakening the economy has been low private consumption, caused by a squeeze in real wages, caused in turn by inflation in global commodity prices as well as higher import prices following devaluation of sterling.
The UK economy will experience stagflation for many years to come due to massive debt and aging population.
A government that makes decisions based on how to win the next election instead of what is good for the country in the long-term is unlikely to solve the economic problems.
The mindset this article conveys is the very reason for the problem: growth does not come from stealing money from A and giving it to B (aka stimulus). Growth comes from A saving income (not consuming it) and putting it to work to produce more in the future.
But anyway, TE needs to make money, the best way to do that is to adhere to pseudo scientific nonsense (aka mainstream economics).
Whatever happened to 'Britain must export its way out of recession'? After an excellent analytical piece two weeks ago about the importance of export - not a word about it here.
An economy can exchange high-end manufactured goods and investment goods for mass-produced consumer goods or commodities any time, without bigger problems, but one can't easily export domestic services against imported goods and commodities (if at all, then only very limited). This is the problem now with those economies that celebrated foolishly the "services prayer-mantra" for too long at the cost of tangible productivity.
The USA is lucky enough to be (still) in possession of the world's only true trade-currency. Thus, the Fed can function as a kind of deep-mine (as long as the rest of the world accepts this).
However, this is no option for second- or third-tier currencies in combination with excessive import shares. "Money mining" will in this case lead straight to devaluation and, as a result, to high inflation - because of its import dependency.
That's why high productivity in tradable goods is the only lasting 'gold mine' there is.
For a country supposedly marginalised, both imports and exports of goods and services from/to Europe are higher than ever, and now constitute over a sixth of UK GDP each.
We have never been more integrated in the European economy. And yet, the UK has badly underperformed the eurozone average (for per capita GDP growth) since 2007.
What specific policies do you attribute to "neoliberal" economic ideology? What do you actually want to change? Does the Netherlands, Austria, Ireland or Bavaria look neoliberal to you?
What grates? Obviously, we don't want French-style constraints on the number of hours we're allowed to work; we don't want more bureaucracy or obstruction to people trying to build new businesses; we don't want more capture of institutions and rent seeking by the insider elite; we don't want barriers to free trade; we don't want barriers to the free movement of capital across borders; we don't want constraints on the free movement of workers in Europe. We want to be free: free personally; free to innovate; free to create businesses and wealth. This is the conception of liberty (prosperity generating; humanity enhancing) that I love. Something quite Dutch, German, Danish or Irish. I don't know whether that meshes or clashes with your "neoliberal" slur.
Agreed: the UK has suffered far too much industrial decline and excessive dependence on "high finance". That is can certainly be attributed to very bad government policy. In particular (the 3 biggest killers):
(1) nationalisation of many businesses (from cars to shipbuilding) and subsequent mismanagement/ failure to invest/ excessive wage increases/ failure to develop & market products absolutely devastated important industries & advantages
(2) the big bang liberalisation of finance allowed near arbitrary levels of tax free consumer, household & financial debt creation. Yet very high levels of corporation tax continued to be levied on business investment. Removal of all rationing, while preserving the massive tax distortion of corporation tax, sent yields soaring for business loans and starved UK business (especially small & medium businesses) of capital. That killed investment, and left British manufacturing uncompetitive (except for a few of the brightest branches able to absorb all the flak)
(3) commercialisation of R&D - while almost every other country has grant financed pilots, product developments, government contracts to develop applications of new research, etc, the UK has almost none of that. Germany has its Fraunhofer institutes and a hundred other initiatives; the US has Stanford, MIT and other universities vying to sell their research with DARPA contracts, grants under a dozen other schemes and vibrant venture capital markets; in the UK we do have fundamental science, but industry is left to its own devices (without even bank support).
Yet, my proposed solutions to the above would be (1) don't try to nationalise or manage bureaucratically, significant parts of the productive economy; (2) eliminate corporation tax and tax discrimination & distortions against business investment, while only introducing modest rationing/ limits on consumer debt creation; (3) apportion significant government funds (say, 1% of GDP - this is far more promising than military spending) to open bidding for applications, pilot plants & commercialisations of new research.
There are many other political objectives too - we do need to invest more in education; we do need to relax planning rules & accelerate decision processes; we do need a faster court system; we do need more redistribution of income and wealth than we have today; we do need to combat intergenerational inequality. Yet, for UK manufacturing to succeed (and probably, for faster productivity growth in future), (1), (2) and (3) above should be the top priorities of any government.
True indeed. There is still a housing bubble inflated by debt and loose monetary policy. The house price rise madness has started again, driven by highly leveraged speculative buy-do-let landlords and foolish indebted home buyers. London house prices are already higher than the pre 2007 peak. Housing as the share of disposable income is much higher in the UK than in almost all other Western economies. The ever increasing rents are squeezing disposable income (and shop owners) and reducing demand in the rest of the economy.
UK has a bloated housing sector that distorts the entire economy. The economy can't begin to recover until that bubble is popped, the losses are dealt with and some banks are wiped out.
The banks should be forced to reduce lending to the housing sector while encouraged to increase lending to businesses. Another way to defuse the bubble is to increase housing supply by more housing developments. That would be an excellent area for more investments.
Good point. That's probably the reason that nothing is said about Britain's position in Europe and her growing isolation (still with-)in the EU.
Posters on these threads have been forecasting for months (in fact a couple of years) that there was the danger this situation would be reached.
They have always been called Anglophobe by what I call the "jeering crowd": those who, by feeling jealous of more cultivated people, resort to insults and the couch curable paranoids who stalk posters and impersonate alter egos.
Now that it has begun to be seen, will they call the Economist and other media Anglophobe too?
On a non personal note, for I avow that is what above comments are, what has been important all along was either to avoid the risk or to heal what has not been prevented.
Healing will be a damn hard slog. And long too. The five years mentioned in the article happened before Britain (England to be more precise) had not yet been touched by the despondency that always arise within half a dozen decades of a disbanded Empire.
I fear it will take longer this time.
One more reason to start at once. Or even earlier if nonsense is allowed in serious matters.
There are thousands of steps to be taken by I would point to a few more urgent than others: shift activity from financial services useless betting to productive manufacture; not the old fashioned smoke stack industry but to modern R&D and technology based industry-cum-productive services.
Fall hard upon crime on finance industry; a few token steps have been taken already but given the size financial crime has attained, far more has to be done.
Promote the qualities that made Britain great: a lot more reliance on self support; education of values not pleasures; coolheadedness; courtesy and politeness; keeping a stiff upper lip; disdain for argumentativeness and reverence for cool purposeful debate; and fairness as in cricket before corruption hit the sport.
And "carry on" despite difficulties. We'll get there but I insist it will be a hell of a struggle.
Information and communication technology is a growing segment in all developed economies. However, as we could see in the course of the the last 10 years, this segment replaces other, much more labor intensive, forms of social interaction. IT grows at the expense of traditional communication forms and its connected traditional industries. Thus, overall, IT eliminates more traditional jobs than it creates new ones. All advanced economies are facing this problem currently. E.g., Britain's total number of employment is approx 30million. By nature, IT will only be able to employ a tiny share of the total amount. How are you going to employ the remaining 29million without producing industries?
The chickens have come home to roost for the UK:
The UK has a 60% low skilled workforce, relative to Germany's 20%, and France's 30%. The country is holding a 2 & 5 unsuited in the game.
A devalued education system, people taking up worthless degrees, leading them to work in bars and cafes. The decline of oil reserves which the country had rested its laurels, no other significant industry, and the financial collapse combined, have left the UK devastated, and it will take years to repair.
Some have suggested one solution; as breaking up and smash the banking system, as the city sucks in the talent. As someone further right than say Thatcher, I would disagree that was necessary. Sorting out the education system is still vital, and that is being done as far as one can tell. Yet in a race that is well under way, that is a long time before it filters through. Rather than getting government to pick winners, which is never a good idea for funding of certain degrees as one option. I would bring back the student loan system and cap it at around AABB, with only the academically rigorous A level subjects valid in order to gain entry, could be part of that healing process.
The one time you need huge deregulation by a Conservative government, and the invisible foot of EU regulation tramples on the hand. Getting rid of regulators such as the HSE (which have never reduced accidents, by the way) in order to outflank that regulation, and finding other ways of generally being a bit devious, in order get some form of competitive edge back could help. Perhaps even controversial measures such as scrapping the minimum wage and introducing a system proposed by Friedman; The negative income tax, could help put people to work in manufacturing, I have no idea what else can be done with such a large unskilled population.
Bailing out the banks, and debauching the currency have never worked anywhere in history, and the Economist still seems surprised that this creates inflation. Certainly breaking up RBS sounds like a decent option proposed by Meryn King. Deregulating the none gambling side of banking, and splitting it completely from the derivatives and highly speculative side, in order to allow as many people with cash to set up banks are other opportunities that could be considered. Getting rid of public sector jobsworths, who do not in anyway shape or form contribute to real GDP, and more than likely hinder it, from mindless red tape, is all good too.
Britain's economy will not recover much with the nomination of Mark Carney as
BOE governor.Because British citizens are not stupid to support stimulus monetary
policy that brought onto Canada the highest cost of living and the real-estate
I guess it is due to British economy policies that the article's paradigm is focusing on spending and demand.
The bottom of the article is: loose austerity and enable spending. Some rare words about dubious reforms.
I am convinced that Anglo-Saxon and American Media have completely missed to analyse what are the actually causes of that crises. Their finding is: lack of demand. Economical structures are fine. Therefore, they go ahead on urging on focusing on more debt-laden-spending.
What do we see?
Growth. Yes. A lasting one. No. A starting motor - no. However what we can acknowledge are every higher debts and a stutter motor and growth engine.
I would point out that nothing will change and come better, in the LONG run, as long as structural reforms are made.
For the UK it will start to close down banks. Many. Because the UK cannot afford it. Next will be to re-industrialise the UK. That will take time. That will go along with a re-considered economic policy.
People have to be re-skilled. Factories need to be rebuilded.
There is a long way to go. But the UK has not even started to start going that way.
The elites seem to be - yet - convinced they can get away by higher spending.
That is business as usual.
Has nobody asked why for example TE has pummelled Italy for the election outcome?
It enables Anglo-Saxon and American Media to take away awareness of miseries at their countries.
The Economist magazine continues the myth (that you have printed so many times) that the present government has "cut" government spending. You know this is not true - but you keep publishing it.
Far from "mostly cutting government spending" the present government has actually "mostly" INCREASED TAXES (like your hero Mario Monti in Italy - how did he do in the election, less than ten percent of the vote....).
Government spending in Britain is VAST - and your solution?
Spend even more.
What on?
"Infrastructure" - i.e. CORPORATE WELFARE.
This is what you really support, what you really stand for - CORPORATE WELFARE.
Endless subsidies for bankers, and subsidies for other interests (such as construction companies) also.
You also have the bare faced cheek to call this government corporate welfare "investment".
And you wonder why people laugh when the Economist magazine claims to be a "free market" supporting publication.
The article is full of contradictions (or near-contradictions). First it's stated that banks don't lend to business, but in the next paragraph it says that firms enjoy cheap money. So, which one of these is true? Second, the author claims that it's best to let the unprofitable firms collapse and free capital, so those with ideas could use it. But right below he proposes increased infrastructure spending regardless of profit and loss calculation of entrepreneurs, which is equivalent to tying the capital instead of letting it be used by creative businessmen. Funnily enough, a few paragraphs later the author mourns lack of government's ability to apply cost-benefit analysis as effectively as private firms do. Now, that's a recipe for recovery.
Business will not see increased lending until policy and regime uncertainty decreases. But, maybe even more important, lending to firms and consumers is simply unprofitable for banks as long as Basel rules (and similar laws) stipulate that mortgage lending is less risky than consumption and business lending, allowing banks to hold much less capital for such loans. As a bank manager, would you rather enjoy increased lending capability or tie precious money to where it is less profitable?

Benita's New Play becomes 'Becky's New Car'
Date: October 15, 2013
by: Mallory Gnaegy | A&E Editor
Even if you haven't yet seen "Becky's New Car" at Venice Theatre, there's still a week left — it runs through Sunday, Oct. 20. Seattle-based Charlie Staadecker has seen the play in 27 different cities on more than 100 stages. And not just because it's a funny play, but because without Staadecker — Becky might have never had a new car.
Staadecker wanted to give his wife, Benita Staadecker, a special birthday gift for her 60th birthday in 2007. His wife had everything, so he was challenged to come up with something unique and exciting. In late October 2006, he commissioned a play from Steven Dietz.
Dietz had worked with ACT Theatre for many years, on which Benita Staadecker sat on the board. Charlie Staadecker worked with the artistic director of the theater company, Kurt Beattie, to help commission the play. He didn't want something dark, he wanted a comedy — it was his wife's big birthday, after all. Out came "Becky's New Car." They were thrilled.
"We are not some rich couple," Charlie Staadecker writes in an email. "Far from it … we just made a choice to forego a major vacation, a cruise, a new car, etc and invested that same money to help create a legacy work of art."
Staadecker hopes to share his story with the community so that he might inspire more couples to commission art.
"You can do this, too!" he says. "It's a wonderful way to fund the arts, and not nearly as expensive as one would think."
For more information about "Becky's New Car," read Marty Fugate's review here.

Wondering What's Next? Give These Self Improvement Tips A Shot
Deciding to make an effort towards self improvement can leave you feeling great and in control. You will need to know some ways to stay energized if you want to successfully achieve your goals. The article below has several great ideas you can use right away.
Stress is one of the chief impediments to a happy, satisfying lifestyle. When our mind is stressed, our body suffers. In order to achieve our goals, we must learn to calm our minds and rid our lives of unnecessary stress. Set aside a period of time each day when you can be alone, clear your thoughts, and completely relax. This time of refreshing can improve your overall peace and self-image.
Choose to spend your time with positive people. Like-minded people will help strengthen your resolve while reinforcing positive attitudes.
Make the most of your work time to accomplish more. Something you can do is to increase the amount of short breaks you take throughout the workday. It might seem odd, but regular breaks will let you relax and get more energy. Once you get started working again, you will be more productive.
Have a notebook or a smartphone app to jot down notes wherever you go. Paper is an old fashioned way to record notes, but it never runs out of battery power. Just write down what their idea or thought is and then develop it more when you have the time and are feeling creative.
Act with your core values in place. People have their beliefs that act as the center of themselves. If you have this rooted in a good foundation, your self-esteem will benefit greatly due to this. This also helps to make you a consistent person. This is an essential character trait.
When considering your own self improvement, focus on leadership. Leadership has many definitions, but many people think of it as "influence." Examine yourself as a leader. Are there events that have had major impacts on your life? How have these events transcended the life that you live? When you work with a group, what attributes do you tend to rely on? When you can answer those questions, you'll know how to be part of a team.
Humility is a very important trait to have when working on your personal development. If you acknowledge you are tiny and unimportant in the world, it will cause you to realize the lack of knowledge you have. Once you understand this concept, your natural desire to learn and grow will kick in, inspiring you to improve who you are.
Personal development involves improving your physical health. Always keep a healthy routine that includes exercise, diet, and sleep in order to be successful. Although this is simple advice, it is perhaps one of the hardest things that we can master.
Despite whatever tips you use, you will have more motivation to develop personally. Developing your character takes a lot of effort, but now that you know what sort of effort is required, you can get into it with gusto.

Cushing to be honored with Medal of Honor
City of Delafield — Alonzo Cushing - one of four brothers for which an elementary school and city park are named for - will be posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for gallantry during the Battle of Gettysburg in which he was killed on July 3, 1863, according to U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wisconsin).
Secretary of Army John McHugh notified Feingold's office last week that Cushing would receive the country's highest military honor, according to Matt Nikolay, veterans' affairs case worker and regional coordinator in Feingold's La Crosse office.
Nikolay credited local historian Margaret Zerwekh with initiating a campaign seven years ago to have Cushing awarded the medal posthumously. Nikolay said several other constituents had also urged Feingold to recommend Cushing for the award.
"It was a big surprise. It has been a slow process," Nikolay observed.
Zerwekh, who prepared the application submitted by Feingold, said the 22-year-old lieutenant deserved the medal because of his efforts to stall confederate forces during Pickett's Charge, despite being seriously wounded three times during the battle.
She said she decided to seek the award on Cushing's behalf in 2003 after noticing that an organization honoring Civil War veterans was successfully gaining posthumous awards for other civil war heroes.
The Congressional Medal of Honor was established in 1862, a year before Cushing's death. Of the 3,448 awards, 618 have been awarded posthumously.
Nikolay said he is not sure when and to whom the medal will be presented. The Army is seeking the nearest next of kin to Cushing. Zerwekh said there are no living family members.
"I would like to see some kind of ceremony in Delafield," she said.
Cushing was born in Delafield Township on Jan. 19, 1841. He was raised in Fredonia, N.Y., and was a graduate of West Point.
His brother William was a Navy hero in the Civil War. Another brother, Howard, survived the Civil War and became a leading frontiersman. A fourth brother, Milton, served as a Navy paymaster.
Cushing Park and Cushing Elementary School are named after the brothers.

Senators Acquire Dany Heatley from Atlanta and Sign him to 3-Year Deal
OTTAWA - Ottawa Senators general manager John Muckler today announced the club has acquired right-winger Dany Heatley from the Atlanta Thrashers for right-winger Marian Hossa and defenceman Greg de Vries. The Senators have also signed Heatley to a three-year contract.
Heatley, one of 36 players invited to Team Canadas orientation camp this month in preparation for next Februarys Olympic Games, kept busy during the 2004-05 season playing on four different squads. The right-winger started the season in late summer helping Canada capture the World Cup of Hockey title in September 2004. Heatley had two assists in six games for Canada. He travelled to Bern, Switzerland, to play in its National A League, where he recorded 24 points (14-10) in 16 games. A broken orbital bone kept him out of Berns lineup for 14 games from Nov. 20 to Jan. 6.
The Bern hockey club transferred Heatley in February 2005 to Ak Bars Kazan of the Russian Elite League, where he contributed four points (3-1) in 11 games and added three points (2-1) in four playoff meetings.
Born in Germany, the Calgary-grown Heatley wrapped up the 2004-05 season helping Canada take the silver medal at the 2005 world championship in Austria. In nine games, he had three goals and four assists. The Czech Republic defeated Canada 3-0 for the gold medal.
In three NHL seasons, Heatley has 181 points (80-101) in 190 games with the Thrashers. He ranks second on Atlantas all-time scoring list and holds several team season records, including most points (89 in 2002-03).
In his last full NHL season, 2002-03, Heatley led the Thrashers with 41 goals and 89 points. He helped the team improve 20 points in the standings and set a club record with 31 wins. Selected to participate in the mid-season all-star game in Florida, Heatley scored four goals plus a fifth in the shootout to win all-star game MVP honours.
In his first NHL season in 2001-02, Heatley won the Calder Trophy as NHLs rookie of the year and was selected to the NHL All-Rookie Team. He topped all NHL freshman with 26 goals, 41 assists for 67 points in 82 games.
Heatley has represented Canada on seven occasions, including the past four world championships and 2004 World Cup of Hockey. He won gold with Canada in 2003 and 2004, and was named the tournaments most valuable player, best forward, and selected to the media all-star team.
Heatley played two seasons at the University of Wisconsin, recording 113 points (52-61) and 106 penalty minutes in 77 games. He helped Wisconsin capture 1999-2000 WCHA regular-season championship. Heatley was selected 1999-2000 WCHA Rookie of the Year and to the WCHA First Team All-Star squad, the WCHA All-Rookie Team and Division I All-America Second Team West. In 2000-01, he was named to the WCHA and Big-Ten All-Academic Teams, and the NCAA West All-Regional Team.

Hossa Traded For Heatley
the Ottawa Senators are trading Marian Hossa and an unamed defensemen to the Atlanta Thrashers for star forward Dany Heatley. Ottawa has called a 5 p.m. news conference.
Heres the link from tsn: www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?id=134320
Biggest trade in a long time. Great move for the Senators, they were near the cap when they signed Hossa. They would've had to trade Redden (I assume Heatley makes less than Hossa). Strange move for the Thrashers but Hossa will light it up for them this year.
Holy crap! This really came outta the blue. I read the rumor on Eklund's page today, but thought it was crap. This is definately the biggest trade in a long time. Good luck to Heatley in Ottawa. I'll bet the unnamed D-man is Chris Phillips.
PS: I wonder what happens with Kovalchuk now???
Could this be the year?
damn it...wth muckler?! the defencemen better be De Vries and not one of their core 3 (Chara, Redden, Phillips)
don't you ever stand for that sorta things,
if someone tries to kill you, you kill them right back!
Biggest trade since "The Great One" was traded to The Kings.
Hossa is going to light it up in ***Atlanta***, and this is a great cap move for The Sens. IMO, Heatley needed this, He needed to start over somewhere else.

New conference changed to 530 et...Atlanta not Nashville..
"its not the size of the dog in the fight its the size of the fight in the dog"
Holy Sh!t I don't think anyone saw this deal coming! Heatley might make Ottawa-Toronto a little more interesting. I think Ottawa came out on top in this deal, depending on who the defencemen they may have traded in the deal is.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

RDS is reporting the defenseman is Greg de Vries.
Bad news for Leaf fans IMO. My brain hurts.
(Referring to a glass of water) I mixed this myself. Two parts H, one part O. I don't trust anybody!

Nearly a third of web shoppers were victims of online fraud last year.
While online shopping is booming in China, so are online scams.
In the past year, 31.8% of Chinese consumers who made purchases on the web—or roughly 63 million out of China's 194 million online shoppers—were victims of online fraud, according to a report released this month by the China Electronic Commerce Association, a government-supported Industry association. The total amount lost to fraud was at least 30.8 billion yuan, or US$4.8 billion.
The report says about 70% of those defrauded typically spent between $80 and $317 on their orders.
An alliance of Chinese government agencies and industry associations in 2008 launched a program called Trust Start to certify e-commerce sites as legitimate. Some 6,000 Chinese e-commerce sites now participate. There are 24,620 business-to-consumer and consumer-to-consumer web sites in China, according to the China e-Business Research Center.
Scammers have many more consumers to target each year in China, as the number of Internet users in the country increased 55.8 million last year to 513 million individuals, according to the report from the China Electronic Commerce Association. The number of web shoppers increased 33.44 million to 194 million, the report says. The report also notes that 356 million Chinese consumers now access the web via mobile devices.
Business-to-consumer online sales to Chinese consumers increased 53.7% in 2011 to $124.22 billion, China's Ministry of Commerce reported in June. That makes China easily the second-leading e-retail in the market after the U.S., where online sales in 2011 totaled $194 billion, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. By comparison, the United Kingdom led Europe in 2011 online retail sales at $76.9 billion, according to the UK's Centre for Retail Research.
Online fraud is hardly unheard of in North America. The Consumer Sentinel Network, an amalgam of government consumer protection and law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and Canada, says 5% of 1.8 million fraud complaints received in 2011 were attributed to Shop-at-Home and Catalog Sales, which includes fraud committed by online retailers. There were 98,306 such complains in 2011. Another 81,805 complains, nearly 5% of the total, were attributed to Internet Services.
Reported fraud losses totaled $1.52 billion, with an average loss of $2,267 and a median loss of $537, according to the 2011 Consumer Sentinel Network report published by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.

By Kat Giantis
Scarlett Johansson has apparently had enough of Hollywood types, at least for the moment. Over the weekend in New York, the former Mrs. Ryan Reynolds turned brief footsy partner of Sean Penn was photographed smiling as she cuddled and held hands with a tall, dark-haired fella identified as a Manhattan-based advertising executive named Nate.
"They've been dating for five months," a source tells People mag, with another adding to Radar Online, "They're keeping it very, very low-key. He's not one for the limelight and fame, and she likes that about him."
Anything else?
"Nate is an avid art collector and has a lot of famous friends in the New York art world. He and Scarlett have had dinner with the fashion photographer Terry Richardson a few times," continues the Radar snitch. "Nate's not impressed by Scarlett's celebrity at all, and she loves that. It's just about two people who like each other. They wanted to take things slow, but now they see each other four or five times a week!"
No word on how the actress, 27, met the refreshingly normal-looking exec (rumored last name: Naylor), but the insider enthuses, "They have a real connection."
In the wake of Scarlett's split from Penn last June, she was linked to a laundry list of bachelors, including Justin Timberlake (denied), Bradley Cooper (denied), Kieran Culkin (denied), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (denied -- seeing a pattern here?) and Justin Bartha (yep, denied).
Johansson parted ways with Reynolds in late 2010 after two years of hush-hush, camera-shy marriage. Their divorce was finalized in July, and the actor has since moved on with Blake Lively, whom he's been photographed with more in the last four months than he was during his entire marriage to ScarJo.

My try as Clara Oswald for #DW Closet Cosplay
Show us your Twelfth Doctor/Clara Oswald cosplays!
Closets can be crazy things- some are filled with clothes and piles of old shoes, while others contain gateways to other worlds (technically that one's a wardrobe but hey.) The closet on the TARDIS probably has both.
We'd like to see what's in your closet, in a very not-creepy sort of way. With Comic Con fast approaching and series 8 only six weeks away it's time to start getting ready for all of those Twelfth Doctor and Clara cosplays, so today we're presenting you with a challenge: dress up as either the Twelfth Doctor or Clara, but you can only use things you find in your (or a family member/friend's) closet.
Take that old cardigan from last Christmas and repurpose it into a snazzy Twelfth Doctor Capaldigan* (that's right, we said it.) Those boots your great uncle bought you for your birthday that you've never worn? Now they're Clara Oswald boots!
When you've put together your brilliant costume, make sure to tag it with #DW Closet Cosplay and we'll be reblogging some of our favorites over the next few days. Also, as this is part of the 30 Days meme we've been curating over the past several weeks, make sure to tag your posts with #30 Days of Doctor Who as well!

Imaginary Movie Soundtracks are just that -- the soundtracks to movies that don't exist. We pick the songs, write the story, and your mind makes the movie.
In the late '90s, it seemed like the comedic sex romp was going to make a return. In the vein of such classics as Porky's and Revenge of the Nerds, we had flicks like American Pie and Eurotrip: all movies about teenagers trying to get some ass. It is in the vein of such quests for ass that we bring you Buster Cherry, a tale of a mismatched pairing between a science geek and the head of the cheerleading squad.
The flick opens to the strains of Chromeo's "Momma's Boy," which -- in addition to sounding retro and '80s -- aptly sums up the film's main character, an awkward young man by the name of Buster who's not exactly smooth with the ladies. He's trying to find a young woman to whom he can lose his virginity, but can't can't get so much as a glance from the girls in his school.
However, as these things go, Buster is a rather smart young man, and his chemistry lab partner is failing half of her classes. If she wants to remain captain of the cheerleading sqaud, she's going to have to get all of her grades up in the next month. Buster offers to tutor her, and guarantees that she'll pass. They make a deal: for the next month, they'll spend all of their time together. If she passes, she'll hook up Buster with Cherry, the most "morally flexible" member of the squad. MC Chris's "Geek" plays, outlining Buster's many bits of nerdiness as we see him playing D&D with other likewise socially awkward folks, and spazzing out mightily on DDR.
We're provided a montage wherein our mismatched pair begin their work. They spend all of their time together, and slowly but surely, Buster begins to teach the cheerleader how to get her schoolwork done. She's obviously intelligent, and in turn, she begins to bring out the attractive young man in Buster. The images begin to look less and less like a pair of opposites knocking heads, and more like a pair of lovebirds. Thomas Dolby's classic "She Blinded Me With Science" plays as Buster and the cheerleader make their deal and begin work, underscoring the interplay and surprise which Buster has.
Of course, people begin to talk, and there's a showdown, where the jocks hassle Buster, only to have the cheerleader fail to come to his rescue. Buster runs off as Weezer's "In the Garage" plays. His plans of sexual fulfillment denied, as he realizes he's been played for a fool: the cheerleader never planned on helping him, and he was just being used. So, sadly, he sits in his room and reads comics and plays video games, tears silently streaming down his face.
The ending is unsurprising. The head cheerleader feels awful for what she did, and makes it up to Buster, setting him up with Cherry. We see Cherry surprised by how well Buster cleans up, and a certain gleam comes to her eye when she and Buster walk away from the cheerleader. The cheerleader of course, is devastated, realizing that she's come to love Buster, and she's the one who wants to be with him. The next day in school, she lashes out at Buster for sleeping with Cherry, and confesses her feelings to him.
Buster reveals that he didn't sleep with Cherry, and that he loves the cheerleader. They begin kissing each other wildly, and the cheerleader pulls Buster into a broom closet, from wherein begin to emanate sounds of passions. The Bird and the Bee's cover of the Hall and Oates' gem "One on One" plays as the credits roll over a crowd that begins to gather outside the broom closet. At the end of the credits, we fade back in to the door to the closet opening, and everyone cheers.
