The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Text of report by influential, privately-owned South African daily
Business Day website on 29 July
[Article by Contributing Editor Tim Cohen in the "Opinion & Analysis"
section: "Debt Crisis: US Must Adapt to its new Reality or Face
THE world has seen enough crises to know that at the very moment it
seems impossible to reach a compromise, at the very moment the sides
seem furthest apart, that is precisely when solutions are most often
It is only when a deadline looms that people who were worried about
their principles start to worry about their future. Only then are real
concessions made.
Yet, the world has seen enough crises to know that every now and then
something mind-numbingly stupid happens in crisis talks, and one side or
the other becomes so inflexible, or misreads the situation so badly,
that even obvious compromises suddenly become unattainable. The world
stands now at such a point.
The US debt-ceiling crisis seems a far-away affair, but it threatens to
unravel some careful and expensive post-recession progress in the global
There are three very worrying fallacies in this debate - worrying
because they are all classic early signs of likely negotiation failure.
They are the traps negotiators fall into that allow them to avoid
confronting the issue.
The first is that the problem is considered not really a problem at all.
Because it's not a problem, it doesn't have to be solved.
Hence, the question you hear quite often from US commentators is whether
it actually matters if the US is downgraded. The reason the question
comes up at all is because the US debt market is enormous - at about
$40-trillion it is twice as big as its nearest rival, the Japanese bond
market. Because it's so enormous, bond market investors really don't
have anywhere else to go. The recent rise in the gold price suggests
some have gone there. Likewise, emerging market bond markets have seen
big inflows. But compared to the size of the US bond market, they are
Neither does the rating, granted by rating agencies such as Standard &
Poor's and Moody's, always seem to make a huge difference - at least at
the top end. The yield on 10-year government debt in Australia, rated
the highest possible AAA, is 4.9 per cent. Japanese 10-year government
debt earns 1.1 per cent, and the country has recently been downgraded to
AA. For a while, Greece, which was on the verge of default, was rated
the same as SA, BBB+. Now Greece is rated deep in junk territory.
"Markets refuse to panic" said one headline. But they should. Because in
the long term, the effect of a rating downgrade would be enormous,
although the situation is very uncertain, partly because the US has
never been graded anything other than AAA.
Once again, the crisis is emerging in a distant corner of the financial
system - the repo market. Thousands of banks, hedge funds and investment
companies borrow short-term money on the repo market. The borrower
usually provides security in the form of US Treasuries - the closest
thing there is to a risk-free asset. If the US is downgraded, the
lenders will probably charge a slightly higher margin because the risk
is marginally increased. The Wall Street Journal quotes traders saying
the rate for overnight repo transactions has already risen from 0.01 per
cent to 0.1 per cent.
This looks tiny, but the implications are potentially enormous,
amounting to a global margin call. How that will spiral, and what
effects it might have, are unquantifiable.
The second reason for real concern is that the nature of US politics has
changed. In the words of centre-right New York Times columnist David
Brooks, "the Republican Party may no longer be a normal party. Over the
past few years, it has been infected by a faction that is more of a
psychological protest than a practical, governing alternative." This
group (he does not name them, but he means the Tea Party activists) is
totally fixated on tax rates, even though the relationship between tax
rates and economic growth is fuzzy, he writes. "Economists have
identified many factors that contribute to economic growth, ra nging
from the productivity of the workforce to the share of private savings
that is available for private investment. Tax levels matter, but they
are far from the only or even the most important factor.
"Members of this tendency have taken a small piece of economic policy
and turned it into a sacred fixation. They are willing to cut education
and research to preserve tax expenditures. Manufacturing employment is
cratering even as output rises, but members of this movement somehow
believe such problems can be addressed so long as they continue to
worship their idol."
Brooks's column may be one of the great pieces of journalism of our
time, because it may help generate a sensible compromise by shaking
moderate Republicans out of their stupor, thereby laying the foundation
for a compromise.
While the problem of Tea Party Republicans might be the fallacy of
single-mindedness, the third problem is the fallacy of righteousness -
and here both parties are guilty. Democrats, from President Barack Obama
down, believe they are following a "balanced" approach. Early on, this
approach proposed solving the US's debt-ceiling problem by introducing
modest tax increases (these are now gone in most plans) to match
comparatively heavier spending cuts, particularly on programmes
Democrats support, such as medical aid and social services.
This sounds eminently reasonable. Yet, it is reasonable only if you
assume the current state of the US debt is sustainable, which it is not.
As a proportion of gross domestic product, it is higher than Portugal's
and well within debt-trap territory.
In many ways, the Republicans are right to use this legislative
mechanism to force the country into changing direction. Obama's plan,
for example, includes huge savings, about $1-trillion, from winding down
the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. How likely is that to happen? Hence,
Republicans argue, "we are the righteous ones".
The problem is that the Democrats can justifiably claim that Republicans
are death-bed converts. President Ronald Reagan increased the debt
ceiling 18 times during his administration, from $985bn to
$2.8-trillion. The second Bush administration did so seven times, from
$6.4-trillion to $11.3-trillion.
Hence, the implicit argument is that this fight is not essentially about
the level of debt, it's about politics. So, Democrats can claim, "we are
the righteous ones!" The problem is that it is a short step from
righteousness to blindness.
Somewhere hidden within the complex argument is something essential
about the US political and economic system.
Almost all visitors to the US come away impressed and amazed at the
confidence of the US people.
That confidence has been built on two or more centuries of success after
success, punctuated by brief periods of calamity. This is a country that
has grown its way out of problem after problem. Reagan's successful
attempt at doing so, and Bush's unsuccessful attempt at doing so, were
based in part on a combination of a confidence boost and the use of debt
to help instil that confidence.
Its political system, and indeed its founding ethic, is based on
political scepticism and its politics is structured to encourage
However, US society is moving into a new phase: it is older, less robust
and international competition is tougher. It has reached a kind of
social plateau.
Social norms may have to catch up to this new reality, and it may be
that growing out of a calamity is no longer an option. If they don't,
compromise may prove impossible and the result will be paralysis.

Any opinions on using safer brand to get rid of cucumber beetles which contains pyrethrin which I don't know much about it other than its organic and it claims to kill them on contact, as well as other insects. My cuc plants are already suffering from these bugs so I need to do something fast or it's another year with minimal cucs. I have homemade traps and I pick them regularly but they are way ahead of me at this point. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Rich, since you are asking about a product manufactured by a company that produces numerous options, I need you to tell me the exact name of the particular one you've been considering. |
Pyrethrins, while a natural pesticide is a very broad spectrum poison that will kill off any of the predators of Cucumber Beetles as well as the pests. Surround, a Kaolin clay that coats the plant leaves, seems to offer a good deal of protection. It does not kill off the beetles but disguises the plant so they do not land on it. There are a number of other steps to take that the article linked may be of some help with. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Control of Cucumber Beetles
- Posted by rich_manure z6 SEMA (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Jul 10, 14 at 9:15
The specific product is Safer® Tomato and Vegetable Insect Killer Thanks for the link sounds like I needed to use kaolin clay earlier in the season but they recommend pyrethrins as a last resort when the beetles feeding on the pollen which they are. |

It may be kind of hard to see in this picture, but up near the center of the picture are the leaves that started growing in oddly on my little yellow rose bush. They are all long and very narrow. Is my bush sick? I bought it from lowes about a month or so back. It had the white, fuzzy fungus on it about a week or two ago, so I pinched those leaves off and took them over to the trash. Haven't seen it since, but this is what grew back. I had wanted to plant it in the ground out near my other bush, but I don't want to make it sick, too. Should I throw it out? I would just take it back, but the return isn't really worth the hassle. |

Can't say I see anything unhealthy, new leaves are often a different color. if you are talking about the very top growth those are stipule, where the leaves would branch out of. If you have had the plant for a month it's not really the stores responsibility to replace the rose. The rose is responding to your care.... which looks very good by the way. If the rose is a miniature and you haven't repotted it, you may need too as minis are often cuttings crammed into tiny pots and then fertilized so they quickly fill out... the little guy may need some more leg room....and there are a number of helpful posts in the miniature rose forum. |

We have raccoons in our backyard {I've shown pictures of them before}, but I did think this was kind of cute. This mama had two babies and was having a hard time keeping them both on one side of the fence.
Head over to 5 Minutes for Mom and sign the linky. Make sure you visit other participants too!

Oh my goodness! That's crazy.
I love your picture! Is that the same racoon from your Monday Mingle? Happy Wednesday girlie! Hugs!
Last summer we had 3 baby raccoons. My oldest daughter was loving it. So were the rest of us…til the neighbor shot them.I went around the house turning up the music and shutting the blinds. Both neighbors were concerned about them growing and eating their gardens. NOT easy!! We were soooo upset! I knew he was just waiting for the little guys to walk to his yard, which they did. =(I had no way to get them somewhere else).
~Mimi @ Woven by Words
Look at that! I don't think I have every seen one up close.
Hehe… It's nice to see that ALL mom's have issues keeping little ones in line sometimes.
awww I love Racoons. We have visitors every evening and sometimes during the day
Cute Critters!
Aww…poor mommy, it must be hard keeping track of 2 Raccoons! Very cute!
I have twins just like her and boy can I relate! Keeping two mobile babies in check is always a struggle!
Oops forgot to hit the button! Sorry.
How cute… I love having all the wild life in our area, too.
Reminds me of the time some raccoons came to visit on Halloween and sorted through the candy for their favorites. They unwrapped and presumably ate all the Snickers; left the Milky Ways. Gosh they are smart and cute!
Awww they are so cute, even though I know they would probably try to scratch or bite my face off. LOL! I love animals of all kinds even if they are dangerous. Of course I know when you're not suppose to touch or get too close to something, but it doesn't stop me from being an animal lover of all animals. I love this pic. =] It's so neat.
Aw, that's nice to see. We used to have many masked critters here, but I think a lot of them have gotten rabies.
Adorable! We have raccoons that eat the birdseed out of our feeders. I'll be hangout on the couch and will suddenly see a family of raccoons climbing the screens on our porch to get to the feeders. My husband gets annoyed, but I love to watch them and take pictures. Raccoons gotta eat too!
I could watch raccoons for hours…they are just too hilarious…their inquisitiveness intrigues me~!! Thank you for the photo share~!!
I'm wonderin if they found what they were looking for?

From WMP Help menu
Burn a CD in Windows Media Player You can easily create your own customized CDs using Windows Media Player.
Click the Burn tab, click the arrow below the Burn tab, and then click the type of CD you want to burn (audio or data).
Insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc into the CD burner. Or, insert a CD-RW disc that has files on it, and erase the contents of the disc by right-clicking the drive in the Navigation pane and then clicking Erase disc. (Erasing is required before you can burn to the disc again.)
If you have multiple CD burners and the burner you want to use is not the one selected, choose the one you want to use by clicking the Next Drive link in the List pane above the playlist. Note that you can only burn CDs to one CD burner at a time.

James Holmes's attorneys ask judge to move theater shooting trial out of Arapahoe County
Should the trial of Aurora theater shooter James Holmes be held in Arapahoe County, where the crime occurred? No, say Holmes's attorneys. In a motion made public this week (and on view below), they request a change of venue, arguing that the citizens of Arapahoe County have a "unique and tangible connection to this case" that would make it difficult for them to be impartial. In addition, Holmes's attorneys say, the "massive, pervasive and prejudicial" media coverage of the case -- much of it focused on the suffering of the victims -- has tainted the jury pool.
"The pretrial news coverage has been at best consistent and comprehensive," Holmes's attorneys write in the motion. "At worst, the media has been incessant and unrelenting."
An analysis by Dr. Bryan Edelman, a trial consultant with the California-based firm Trial Innovations, found that between the date of the theater shooting -- July 20, 2012 -- and November 9, 2013, the Denver Post printed 896 articles that referenced the shooting. Many of the stories, Edelman found, focused on the victims and their families. The same was true for television station 9News and the weekly Aurora Sentinel.
"In covering the good and courageous things the victims have done," Holmes's attorneys write in the motion, "the coverage often simplistically and inaccurately implied that Mr. Holmes was 'evil,' as opposed to mentally ill."
Holmes is accused of killing twelve people and injuring seventy more by opening fire during a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises at the Aurora Century 16 theater. He has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. His trial is scheduled to begin in October.
The defense's motion also takes a close look at the Aurora Sentinel's coverage. Holmes's attorneys note that the Sentinel posted about 600 stories online between July 20, 2012 and March 31, 2014, and ran more than 215 stories in print. The paper even has a special tab on its website called, "MASSACRE COVERAGE," the attorneys point out.Andy Cross/Denver Post James Holmes and public defender Daniel King in court in June 2013.
The media coverage has been in-depth, Holmes's attorneys argue, including "graphic and sensational firsthand accounts" of the crime and "blow-by-blow" reporting of the preliminary hearing, at which the prosecution presented some of its evidence. And they don't like how Holmes -- or his defense -- has been portrayed.
"On numerous occasions, the legitimate defense of insanity was not described as such," they write. "Rather, it was described as Mr. Holmes's 'best hope of avoiding the death penalty, and possibly his only hope, given the weight of the evidence.'"
