Nokia sales chief resigns as company posts $1.7bn loss
April 19, 2012 - 15:19 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Nokia's executive vice president of sales, Colin Giles, has resigned, coming hot on the heels of "greater than expected competitive challenges" leading to appalling Q1 2012 financial results, SlashGear reports.
"Effective immediately, Nokia's four regional senior vice presidents and the lead of sales operations will report directly to Niklas Savander, executive vice president of markets" the company says, in the process "reducing a layer of sales management to ensure greater customer focus and providing senior leaders greater visibility into market dynamics."
Nokia is spinning Giles' decision to step down as a positive, though the fact that he was on the Leadership Team for less than a year during its tumultuous repositioning doesn't bode well. Nonetheless, he was a Nokia employee since 1992, and is cited as particularly instrumental in developing the Asia and China markets.
"Our structure is focused on ensuring that the sales organization is aligned with local customer requirements, market-by-market competitive issues and country-specific sales and marketing tactics," Savander said in a statement. "As a result of reducing layers, we can increase the speed at which we execute sales activities and improve the collaboration between our business groups and our team on the ground."
Nokia announced a $1.7bn loss for Q1 2012, with CEO Stephen Elop blaming "mixed" sales results of the new Lumia phones for part of the Finnish firm's struggling fortunes. "We exceeded expectations in markets including the United States," Elop said of Lumia sales, "but establishing momentum in certain markets including the UK has been more challenging."

One of the Expos' ballpark project's "high-profile promoters has cast aspersions on Expos president Claude Brochu and on the near-impenetrable veil of secrecy surrounding the project he was recruited to sell," according to Stephanie Myles of the Montreal GAZETTE. In a radio interview, Jean Coutu said, "I think Brochu is a very good administrator, but maybe he should step aside and let someone else promote the project." Brochu would not comment. Coutu joined the Expos' ballpark effort in March, but he now says he is "no longer active in the project." Coutu: "It's excessively difficult to put that good name we [he and the other businessmen assisting in the ballpark push] have into something we don't understand ourselves. Who will own the stadium? We don't even know. It smells a bit like what went on in Quebec City with the Nordiques." Coutu: "They haven't known how to sell it to business, government and the fans." Meanwhile, the Expos have invited members of the business community to accompany them to Baltimore today to tour Camden Yards (GAZETTE, 8/19).

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/26/14 -- Delta Gold Corporation (the "Company" or "Delta") (TSX VENTURE: DLT) reports that it has filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) its unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related management discussion and analysis ("MD&A") for three and six months ended March 31, 2014.
The Company reported a loss and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 of $2,980,188 and $3,321,042 respectively compared with $1,025,775 and $2,045,332 in the three and six months ended March 31, 2013.
The activities in the Current Period focused on business development investigations and the recently announced transaction with Commonwealth Silver and Gold Inc. ("CSGM"), while the Comparative Period focused on the closing of the ADR Capital Corp. transaction and the related equity financings.
On April 23, 2014 Delta and CSGM announced they had entered into a binding Letter Agreement with respect to a proposed combination. As a result of the proposed transaction, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2.7 million against the Imperial Project at March 31, 2014. The impairment charge was recorded to reflect the implied fair value of the Imperial Project based on the proposed transaction with CSGM.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 2014 was $4,780,970.
Delta's CEO, Marco Romero, stated: "Despite the relatively weak gold price and challenging equity capital market conditions for our sector, we have advanced our business plan. Our company has been conserving its financial resources, while trying to seize a good opportunity to grow our business and deliver shareholder value. On April 24th, we announced that Delta will merge with CSGM by way of a reverse take-over. CSGM is a private Canadian company that holds the rights to the Commonwealth Project in southern Arizona. The Commonwealth transaction allows us to diversify and to deliver a nearer term gold and silver mine development opportunity with strong exploration potential. The Commonwealth Project is also synergistic with our own Imperial Project."
Delta Gold Corporation is a development stage mining company whose goal is to build a successful mid-tier gold producer committed to industry-leading technical and ethical best practices. Our business strategy is to identify and evaluate mineral investment opportunities located in favourable jurisdictions and settings, and to prudently acquire and develop projects that are economically, socially and environmentally viable.
Neither the Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

Andy Pettitte slapped his glove, angry he had allowed another run. For the New York Yankees, it was yet another night of missed chances. Instead of winning both games at Camden Yards, the Yankees headed home with a split in their best-of-five AL division series against the Baltimore Orioles following a 3-2 loss in Game 2 Monday night. ''It was obviously a frustrating game and one you hate to lose,'' Pettitte said. ''It would have been nice to be able to get this one, that's for sure.'' And now when the series resumes Wednesday night, they face having to get at least one win from the back end of their rotation. The rest of the series will be played in the Bronx. ''We've played very well at home, and we're going to have to continue to do that if we're going to move on,'' Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. ''It seems like Baltimore and us have kind of went back and forth all year, and that's what we did her...

Kukla's Korner Hockey
The Grind Is Gone

Comments (0)
I didn't suffer any damage to my teeth watching the first few games in the new-look NHL. I comment on my teeth because, for the past five years or so, I have spent most of the time, while watching NHL games, grinding my teeth together unable to stomach the product that for 82 games, plus pre-season and playoffs, was being passed off as the greatest spectator team sport. Why the sudden change? First, gone from the games (thus far) is the hacking, grabbing, impeding and general wrestling that went on in the neutral zone as players of speed and skill were brought down (many times literally) to the level of the slow and less skilled so that the latter could compete on the same ice surface as the former. What I see now are players able to generate true skating speed up the ice with and without the puck, thus producing a much better flow to the game. The result? No grinding of my teeth.

Gulf countries record 99.8% pass percentage
Thiruvananthapuram: The Secondary School Leaving Certificate examination in Kerala has produced a record pass percentage of 94.17 per cent this year, an increase of half a percentage from last year. The results were formally announced by state education minister P.K. Abdu Rubb today.

Across the state, 861 schools scored a cent per cent pass, of which 274 were government schools. The SSLC exams were held from March 11 to 23, and the education department scored a record by announcing the result in the shortest time ever. About 12,500 teachers had participated in the answer paper evaluation, at 54 centralised valuation centres.

FRIDAY, Oct. 5 (HealthDay News) -- Barriers to implementation of successful home hemodialysis include lack of patient and physician education, according to a study published online Oct. 4 in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.
Noting that home hemodialysis is an underused dialysis modality in the United States, Bessie A. Young, M.D., from the Puget Sound Health Care System at the University of Washington in Seattle, and colleagues examined the barriers to home hemodialysis, focusing on patients, individual physicians and practices, and dialysis facilities. Suggestions to overcome these barriers were made.
The researchers found that the benefits of home hemodialysis included potential for greater dialysis delivery; improvements in patient independence, rehabilitation, and employment potential; and greater ability to travel. The main patient barriers to home hemodialysis were lack of patient education and patient perceptions. For physicians, evidence suggested that education gaps exist regarding home therapy. Additional barriers included mechanical complexity of conventional hemodialysis systems; large requirement for water; and the cost of setting up the home for hemodialysis. The organization and structure of a home hemodialysis program should include adequate patient education, physician and nurse training, adequate staffing, and appropriate continual quality improvement programs.
"Home hemodialysis has the potential to allow patients to enjoy increased freedom, quality of life, greater ability to travel, and tangible improvements in several domains of medical outcomes," the authors write. "Increased physician and patient education can eliminate barriers to home hemodialysis and increase its use."
Several authors disclosed financial ties to the pharmaceutical and health care industries, including companies offering hemodialysis care and services.

Queen of Belgium confuses player who scored winning goal against Russia
24 June 2014 [15:27] -
The King and Queen of Belgium attended their country's match against Russia at the Maracana on Sunday and they witnessed Divock Origi become the first teenager to score in a World Cup game since Lionel Messi in 2006. Origi's 88th-minute goal was the only one of the match and put Belgium in the knockout stage with two wins in as many matches.
[Photos: Ranking the most expensive World Cup tickets by country]
Later, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde met the players and the queen took this opportunity to congratulate Origi on his goal. Except she said this to starter Romelu Lukaku, who was visibly annoyed by being replaced by Origi in the 57th minute. Lukaku seemed to handle the situation better than he did the substitution though, pointing out Origi to the confused queen.
For Queen Mathilde's sake, let's do some introductions. This is Romelu Lukaku, he's 21 years old and scored 15 goals in the Premier League for Everton (on loan from Chelsea) last season...

What women want: Six must-haves in a homeJanuary 31, 2013 @ 12:12 pm (Updated: 3:26 pm - 2/1/13 )
Women are a big part of the housing market and usually the decision-makers when it comes to the design of the home. Consequently, more real estate professionals, designers, and marketers are taking notice of women's home preferences.
What do women want in a home? Consumer research experts from Coldwell Banker Real Estate, John Burns Real Estate, and others weighed in to women's home preferences in a recent article at MSN:
* Big closets
* A special kitchen: That entails "big open kitchens that include space for dining, entertaining, doing homework, using computers, watching TV, and hanging out together," the article says.
* Terrific location: Women usually care more about location and less about home size, according to Mollie Carmichael, consumer research expert at John Burns Real Estate Consulting.
* A comfortable place for socializing: It could be a kitchen island or counter, a comfortable den, or a corner with some chairs and sofa in front of a fireplace.
" Low maintenance, such as "no-paint exterior siding, no-fuss landscaping, and homes that are new or recently renovated," the research article noted.
* A two-car garage

Alabama to receive high-speed rail funds
Send this to a friend
- Lauren B. Cooper
- Staff
The White House announced Thursday that Alabama will receive stimulus money for high-speed and intercity passenger rail planning.
The state is one of nine that will split $6 million for the studies, as part of an $8 billion award to develop the nation's first program of high-speed intercity passenger rail service.
The President expects the program to create and save tens of thousands of jobs over time, with more than 30 rail manufacturers in agreement to establish or expand their base of operations in the U.S. if hired to build the high-speed rail lines, said a news release.
High-speed rail is gaining momentum in Alabama. Wednesday, the state joined six other southeastern states in a coalition to develop high-speed rail transportation in the Southeast. Joining Alabama were Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee.

John Dewey and the Chaos of Contemporary Public Education
2013 11 19
By Gennady Stolyarov II |
Conspiracy Archive
The dismal and declining student performance at Americas public schools is no accident. Nor is the pervasive bullying by peers and repression by teachers that the brightest, best-mannered, and most accomplished students encounter in public schools today. Both are the direct results of the educational philosophy promulgated by John Dewey (1859-1952), the originator of Progressive education and a self-proclaimed advocate of collectivism and opponent of teaching objective knowledge in the schools. Deweys ideas have largely shaped the ways in which todays American public education system worksor, more accurately, does not work.
To call John Dewey a socialist is no exaggeration or derogatory epithet. It is the literal truth. Dewey read and greatly admired Edward Bellamys 1887 novel,
Looking Backward
, which described an egalitarian utopia in which private property was abolished and the capitalist system was a relic of the past. In the 1920s, Dewey wrote extensively in praise of the Soviet education systemso much that he was invited to visit the Soviet Union in 1928 and observe schools in the USSR. He based many of his recommendations for American education on the Soviet model.
Two of Deweys foremost targets were individualism and objective truth. In his 1920 work,
Reconstruction in Philosophy
, Dewey vehemently opposed the classic Western idea of the individual as something given, something already there. Consequently, he derided the free, capitalistic society, where the individual tends to be viewed as something to be catered to, something whose pleasures are to be magnified and possessions multiplied.
Instead, Dewey asserted, society is what makes the individual who he is, and social institutions are not means for obtaining something for individuals, not even happiness. They are means of creating individuals. So much for the Founding Fathers conviction that the inalienable individual rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are primary and that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men. For Dewey, society and government come first; they shape individuals and make them what they are, and it is ultimately society, through government, that must decide how each individual is to best serve it.
Not only does Deweys philosophy completely overlook the existence of free will and the possibility of individuals shaping themselves; it also denigrates the pursuit of any kind of knowledge or accomplishment, unless society deems it to be useful. In Deweys words, initiative, inventiveness, varied resourcefulness, assumption of responsibility in choice of belief and conduct are not absolute but relative to the use that is to be made of them. And this use varies with the environment.
That is, if society (that is, whichever group of powerful officials arrogates to itself the name society) decides that mathematics or science or literature are dangerous or not worth pursuing, then, for Dewey, this means that they are dangerous or not worth pursuing. Admirable qualities of individuals, such as resourcefulness or initiative, can also be suddenly declared vices if society sees fit. For Dewey, there is no absolute truth or absolute virtue; everything changes with the times, is subject to eternal flux, and can be inverted in an instant if the whims of society dictate it.
In education, Deweys view of the primacy of society was translated into the desire to socialize children above all. He wrote: I believe that the social life of the child is the basis of concentration, or correlation, in all his training or growth. The social life gives the unconscious unity and the background of all his efforts and of all his attainments. In practice, this meant an increased emphasis on group activities and children spending time around their peers and conforming to those peers often inane and destructive expectations, rather than learning objective facts.
Indeed, Dewey greatly discouraged the study of objective facts. He wrote, I believe that we violate the childs nature and render difficult the best ethical results, by introducing the child too abruptly to a number of special studies, of reading, writing, geography, etc., out of relation to this social life. So when we encounter illiterate teenagers, or kids who cannot identify China or France on a map, or high school graduates who cannot string a grammatically correct sentence together, or college students who must take remedial algebra because they cannot solve a simple linear equation, we are actually seeing what Dewey wanted to happen. Learning reading, writing, mathematics, or geography early sets children apart from their society of peers and inhibits the kind of subjection and conformity that Dewey tried to bring about from an early age.
Dewey most detested talented young students who strove to learn as much real knowledge as they could, irrespective of the obstacles placed in their way. He admitted this explicitly when he wrote in
The School and Society
(1889), The mere absorption of facts and truths is so exclusively an individual affair that it tends very naturally to pass into selfishness. There is no obvious social motive for the acquirement of mere learning, there is no clear social gain in success thereat. Because learning objective knowledge empowers the individual and enables him to obtain greater heights of accomplishment and virtue, Dewey saw this as a threat to the social engineering he wanted to attain. Anything that did not directly fit into his agenda of top-down control was to be discouragedand, of course, one cannot centrally plan human curiosity, ingenuity, ambition, and desire for self-improvement. These qualities resist Deweys impulse to create the individual; thus, the natural implication of Deweys system was to stifle and suppress such attributes.
We no longer need to be puzzled as to why public school teachers so often sit by idly while the majority of their students taunt, harass, threaten, and even physically assault their most accomplished classmates. Indeed, we need not even be surprised that some public school teachers encourage such bullying by rudely suppressing genuine questions from exceptional students and accusing them of monopolizing classroom time. These educators are simply implementing Deweys ideas.
Within public schools, the society that Dewey glorifies consists of the ever-changing trends, prejudices, fashions, and behaviors of the majority of school-aged children; socializing children means getting them in line with how most of their peers behaveeven if this includes cursing, promiscuity, risky experimentation, and ganging up on the children who are different. What is important under the Dewey system is not adherence to some universal and absolute standard of the true and the good, but rather conformity to whatever social standard has been established within a given age groupwhich is virtually always the dismal lowest common denominator.
If Dewey were alive today to see Americas public schools, he would not consider them failures. They are the faithful embodiments of everything he wished to attain. If anything, Dewey would want the public schools to teach even fewer objective facts and allow even less outstanding individual accomplishment by students. But those of us who desire a future in which people are free, prosperous, and competent will beg to differ.

Here we are showing you some impressions of the Mercedes Future Truck 2025
concept, an autonomously driving truck which now had its premiere. Showing
you driving, exterior, interior as well as special situations the truck has
to react to.
#mbcar #mbcars
More information from Mercedes:
Efficiency, safety and connectivityâ the Future Truck 2025 revolutionises
the key elements of goods transport
Future Truck 2025 â Perfect synthesis of technology and design
Daimler Trucks strengthens technological leadership
Blind Spot Assist important step to accident-free driving
Daimler Trucks invests 1 bln. Euro per year into research and development
Dr Wolfgang Bernhard: "Our Future Truck 2025 provides compelling answers to
the challenges that our customers will be facing in the future. Our aim
therefore is to press forward with readying this technology for the market
and to bring it to series-production standard. I am convinced that this
will open up a whole new business perspective for Daimler Trucks."
The technology of tomorrow is already a reality at Daimler Trucks, in the
shape of the Mercedes-Benz Future Truck 2025. The autonomously driving
truck was presented on the eve of the 65th International Motor Show for
commercial vehicles in Hanover, Germany. Its perfect synthesis of
technology and design means: The Future Truck 2025 is more than simply a
new truck; it is a key component of the transport system of the future. For
the Mercedes-Benz Future Truck 2025 is sparing on resources, reduces
emissions of all types, ensures maximum road traffic safety and increases
the level of networking in road transport. Goods traffic in the future will
be safer, more efficient and more connected as a result. The Future Truck
2025 thus marks a revolution for road traffic and its infrastructure, the
truck driving profession and the haulage industry as a whole.
Work continues to take the Future Truck 2025 towards market maturity -
series production on the horizon
The Mercedes-Benz Future Truck 2025 is far more than a remote vision. The
truck should be on our roads in ten years' time. Many of its technological
elements are already available and ready to use.
"This truck provides compelling answers to the challenges that our
customers will be facing in the future. Our aim therefore is to press
forward with readying this technology for the market and to bring it to

⺠Mercedes Future Truck 2025 (Autonomous Driving Demo)
The Mercedes-Benz Future Truck 2025 constitutes a revolution in
efficiency, safety and networking, a revolution for road traffic and its
infrastructure, for professional driving and for the road transport sector.
This is not a new truck, but rather the key element in the interconnected
transport system of the future. It is being developed as part of the
"Shaping Future Transportation" initiative by Daimler Trucks to conserve
resources and reduce emissions of all kinds. Other aims are to ensure the
highest possible level of traffic safety and to Boost networking with intelligent data
management considerably for tailor-made vehicle and service solutions.
The prototype demonstrated the exciting capabilities of the
Future Truck 2025 back in the summer at speeds of up to 80 km/h in
realistic traffic situations on a section of the A14 motorway in Magdeburg,
Germany. Now the thrilling exterior and interior of that same vehicle are
being revealed.
Autonomous driving:
One of the most interesting questions on the subject of autonomous driving
is the time horizon envisaged for its realisation. In purely technical
terms, turning it into reality on the roads is already feasible within
around five years. In terms of passenger car development cycles, a possible
start is envisaged in 2020. Owing to the more complex factors for heavy
commercial vehicles, the time horizon for such vehicles will, however, be
rather longer â realistically implementation is possible within ten
years, also in view of the legal considerations that still remain to be
The introduction of autonomous driving will not happen digitally from one
day to the next, as development is progressing in a gradual manner:
evolutionary stages are necessary to revolutionise goods haulage on the
roads. In the coming years, new and improved assistance systems will
continue to pave the clearly set-out way to autonomous driving.

Is the time feasible?Nov 30, 20121Hi , I have a very important client meeting that got scheduled at the last minute for which I will be going from jfk to cincinati via delta (terminal 2) and be back at jfk at 6.15 pm. My international flight to india is again from jfk at 10.05 pm from Ethihad airways terminal 4.Is this a feasible option to take in terms of time? will i need to check in again? how do i travel between terminals?***Thu, Nov 29At JFK, if you have enough time in the morning before departing to Cincinnati, go straight to Terminal 4 and check in your bags with Ethihad. (If you didn't print out your boarding pass before, print it out at the nearby machine). Then take the Airtrain to Terminal 2 for your Cincinnati flight (it runs about every 7 mins between terminals and takes minutes to T4.) On arrival at JFK in the evening at T2, all you would need then is to take Airtrain to T4, go through security check and on to your connecting gate: At T4, the Departure level opens up to the Concourse level, with Concourse A and gates A2-7, and Concourse B with gates B20-30.

Tripura's popular chief minister shows up the failures of the elitist central leadership of India's Left
In the increasingly high-decibel debates on the quality of leadership on offer among the main political formations, the achievements of a modest leader in a relatively remote part of India, Manik Sarkar, the chief minister of Tripura since 1998, might have gone unnoticed. With his overwhelming victory in the 2013 elections (50 of the Assembly's 60 seats, more than half the vote share and nearly 92 per cent turnout - the highest in India), he is likely to emerge as one of the longest-serving chief ministers of India.
The story is remarkable not just because the electoral fortunes of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), or CPI(M), have flagged in the party's other two bastions (Kerala and West Bengal), but even more given the grip of the ethnic divide (between tribals and Bengali immigrants) and a vicious insurgency that gripped the state for many years. Tripura's literacy rate now rivals - and, by some estimates, exceeds - Kerala's and, despite the state's isolation and the virtual absence of industry, it has clocked reasonable economic gains based on a significant agricultural innovation: a shift to a lucrative cash crop, rubber. The insurgency has virtually ceased, a testimony to the sensitive handling of the concerns of the tribal population - which offers instructive lessons to states like Chhattisgarh.
Manik Sarkar is an anomaly in Indian politics. Austere and by all accounts scrupulously honest, his probity and humility are rare, representing the best of the old - and vanishing - Left. His success raises the question: why has the CPI(M) done so poorly if inequality is increasing, poverty is widespread and scams are everywhere? What does it say about the party's leadership that, despite being given such "hospitable" structural conditions, it has been doing so dismally?
Mr Sarkar does not come from a metropolitan background, whether the old imperious capital of Calcutta or its replacement, New Delhi. The dominance of the leadership of the communist movement by upper-caste males (epitomised by the bhadralok in Bengal) goes a long way towards explaining why they - as much as India's Right - never quite grasped the importance of caste. The "working class" rhetoric notwithstanding, the male-monopolised politburo focused primarily on the overwhelmingly male-dominated organised sector unions, especially in the privileged public sector, largely ignoring the vast unorganised sector, which has little bargaining power. And when it finally did induct a woman in the politburo, it was not someone from the working classes but yet another member of the upper-caste privileged elite parlaying networks and nepotism.
The upper-caste leadership bias of the CPI(M) was particularly manifest in the party's three-decade rule in West Bengal, which offered it an unprecedented opportunity to make the state a showcase. Instead, the leadership spent far more effort in decrying everyone else's economic policies, while neglecting obvious universal public goods such as primary education and sanitation.
This also explains why the CPI(M) has been inherently conservative, radical in rhetoric but reactionary in practice. This is most obvious in its utter lack of understanding of the one most powerful force of historical change, technology. In the early 1980s, when attempts were made to introduce computers in public sector banks, the Left unions in Bengal strenuously opposed it. The net result was that the state fell behind in information technology, allowing other states to seize the lead, and it has never really recovered from that self-inflicted wound.
In principle, Bengal could have put in serious research efforts to leverage the many admirable features of the jute fibre - in which it has a unique comparative advantage - and develop it as a green natural alternative to chemical fibres. It could even have drawn on expertise from fraternal Cuba, which developed an admirable biotechnology sector entirely through its own efforts. Instead, it obsessed about Haldia Petrochemicals, frittering away its natural endowments and making the state more dependent on the very global markets that it decried. Similarly, it ignored the developments in the global shipping industry and the technological revolution brought about by container shipping and continued to spend thousands of crores of rupees to dredge the Hooghly to keep a port going when it was clear it was not going anywhere.
While rightfully passionate over attempts by political parties to play the religious card, the CPI(M) patronised Muslims. It was, therefore, hardly surprising, except to itself and its bedfellows, that even as India's communists were obsessed with the United States' role in West Asia and the Islamic world, the Sachar Committee found that in the party's own backyard in West Bengal, the status of India's Muslims was among the worst.
But perhaps the Left's worst long-term strategic error has been its vehement opposition to changing labour laws. This has meant that India's manufacturing sector has been severely constrained and an increasingly large fraction has been outsourced to the unorganised sector. Not only has this reduced opportunities for labour, but it has also sharply curtailed the size of the organised sector, thereby reducing the size of the very proletarian forces that have been the heart of any vibrant communist movement, and simultaneously gifting labour-intensive manufacturing to China.
Ideologically, the CPI(M) is opposed to capitalism and the private sector. Agree or disagree, if this was a principled position, rather than simply "cheap talk", it should have done the hard work to improve the performance of state-owned enterprises, which, had they performed well, would have been the best counter to the expansion of capitalist forces. But, if anything, its cluelessness regarding technological change and its placing the interests of its unions above everything else ensured that state-owned enterprises in any state that the CPI(M) has controlled have atrophied, an extraordinary reverse-Midas touch. There is no better advertisement for capitalism than a West Bengal state-owned enterprise, irrevocably corroded by decades of mismanagement.
Even in social sectors, such as education, short-term calculations of controlling the state apparatus for the interest of its cadres and partisan supporters ensured that students gradually exited - whether at the primary school level or in higher education, where the decline of the University of Calcutta and the outmigration of Bengal's best and brightest are causally related.
Perhaps the most salient difference between the leadership of Manik Sarkar and that of the politburo is that members of the latter, led by its general secretary, have put their ideological grandstanding above the more basic tasks of governing. In part, the leadership in the politburo has itself come from relatively elite backgrounds, which can wax eloquent about globalisation, US imperialism, neoliberalism and multiple other "isms", while being clueless about the basics of governance. What passes as principles is so deeply rooted in ideology that it blithely undermines the national interest without the slightest qualm. Its stance on the US-India nuclear deal could indeed be defended as principled, but it is betrayed by the party's studied silence on the China-Pakistan nuclear relationship.
India needs a strong Left, just as it needs a strong centre as well as a strong Right, which compete on ideas and policies. But as long as the CPI(M)'s central leadership comes from a social elite that is as self-serving as any other elite, and the Manik Sarkars are confined to faraway places such as Tripura, this is unlikely to happen.
