OpinionReviving the cold war Iran is lurking along the southern fringes of the US, necessitating Obama to "address the growing hostile presence". 02 Jan 2013 12:25 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Latin America, Bolivia, Colombia Allegations that Iran's hemispheric encroachment is being facilitated by left-leaning Latin American regimes, specifically that of Chavez, have spawned a composite green-and-red Islamo-Bolivarian menace [Reuters]About the Author Belen Fernandez Belen Fernandez is the author of The Imperial Messenger: Thomas Friedman at Work, published by Verso. She is a contributing editor at Jacobin Magazine. @MariaBelen_Fdez Story highlightsDuring the four-and-a-half decade US-Soviet standoff known as the "cold war" despite the untold amount of blood spilt in international proxy conflicts and superpower support for various forms of repression, the US used the alleged threat of Soviet penetration of the western hemisphere to justify its own meddling throughout the Americas. US penetration of its southern backyard was characterised by everything from an illicit war against Nicaragua to the facilitation of state terrorism in South America - where suspected leftists were dropped en masse from airplanes - to the overthrow of Guatemalan President Jacobo Arbenz, which helped kicked off an era of violence in which over 200,000 people were killed. Contrary to the US establishment portrayal of Arbenz as a Kremlin agent, Stephen Schlesinger and Stephen Kinzer'sDuring the four-and-a-half decade US-Soviet standoff known as the "cold war" despite the untold amount of blood spilt in international proxy conflicts and superpower support for various forms of repression, the US used the alleged threat of Soviet penetration of the western hemisphere to justify its own meddling throughout the Americas. US penetration of its southern backyard was characterised by everything from an illicit war against Nicaragua to the facilitation of state terrorism in South America - where suspected leftists were dropped en masse from airplanes - to the overthrow of Guatemalan President Jacobo Arbenz, which helped kicked off an era of violence in which over 200,000 people were killed. Contrary to the US establishment portrayal of Arbenz as a Kremlin agent, Stephen Schlesinger and Stephen Kinzer's acclaimed book Bitter Fruit: The Untold Story of the American Coup in Guatemala demonstrates that the man was a bourgeois capitalist whose activities merely included offering $627,572 to the United Fruit Company - the US corporation that had established a parasitic presence on Guatemalan territory - in compensation for unused acreage appropriated by the Guatemalan government. This was precisely the value of the land in question as declared by the company itself for purposes of tax evasion. Upon appropriation it assumed a spontaneous worth of $16m and became proof of apocalyptic communist imperialism - a fabricated danger that would be dealt with via concrete forms of US imperialism in Latin America. The green-and-red menace Two decades after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, a new expansionist enemy has been trotted out. According to certain policymakers in Washington, the Islamic Republic of Iran is now lurking along the southern fringes of the US - necessitating the "Countering Iran in the Western Hemisphere Act" just signed by Barack Obama in order to "address Iran's growing hostile presence and activity". Empire - Targeting Iran - Video: Iran, Israel and the US Conveniently, the change in existential threats has been made easier by the fact that many aspects of the old communist menace have been conserved. Allegations that Iran's hemispheric encroachment is being facilitated by left-leaning Latin American regimes, specifically that of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, have spawned a composite green-and-red Islamo-Bolivarian menace. This helps to ensure a negative reaction in an American public already conditioned to respond viscerally to the colour red - much as the labelling of Obama as a socialist has been known to trigger automatic revulsion in swathes of the population despite the man's failure to pursue any policies that resemble socialism. Neoconservatives have discovered numerous smoking guns indicating nefarious collaboration between the Islamic Republic and the Latin American left, such as the existence of regular commercial airline flights between Tehran and Caracas and the enrollment of more than two dozen offspring of Iranian diplomatic personnel at the international school in La Paz, Bolivia. Norman A Bailey - the former Mission Manager for Cuba and Venezuela under Director of National Intelligence John D Negroponte, patron saint of Honduran death squads -announced in a February 2012 report for the US House Foreign Affairs Committee that Iran's protégé Hezbollah "is known to have opened numerous military camps inside Venezuela… with the express purpose of training young Venezuelans to attack American targets". Readers unaware that this factoid is indeed "known" can pursue its citation in the report's endnotes. These direct us to a working paper by the Israeli International Institute for Counter-Terrorism's Dr Ely Karmon, who - as I have previously noted - is also an expert in the art of plagiarism. True to form, Karmon has reproduced almost exactly word for word a paragraph from a 2008 FrontPage Magazine article called "Hugo's Hezbollah". Without properly signalling the paragraph's appropriation, he writes: "It was reported… that the Venezuelan Minister of the Interior, Tarek El Aissami, was working directly with [Venezuelan diplomat] Ghazi Nasr al-Din to recruit young Venezuelans of Arab descent that were supportive of the Chavez regime to train in Lebanon with Hezbollah. Reportedly, the purpose was to prepare these youths for asymmetric warfare against the US in the event of a confrontation. According to this report, Hezbollah also established training camps inside Venezuela, complete with ammunition and explosives, courtesy of El Aissami." The FrontPage article itself includes a hyperlink directing us to the apparent source of the training camp reports - a 2008 column in Spanish by a Venezuelan exile in Miami who happens to be tied to the perpetrators of the 2002 coup against Chavez - and throws in the additional ludicrous claim that "Hezbollah has been responsible for converting a number of indigenous tribes in Latin America to their radical version of Islam". Terror on America's doorstep During an April jaunt to Colombia, US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta was quoted by the American Forces Press Service as remarking: "We always have a concern about, in particular, the [Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps] and efforts by the IRGC to expand their influence, not only throughout the Middle East but also into this region… In my book, that relates to expanding terrorism". Of course, the title of the article - "Panetta: Violent Extremism Threatens Latin America" - seems somewhat misdirected given that it is the US and not the Islamic Republic that is known for things like massive financial support for a Colombian military that wantonly slaughters civilians. The participation of the US Drug Enforcement Agency in the massacre of peasants in Hondurasmight also qualify as a level of violent extremism to which Iran has not aspired. "The participation of the US Drug Enforcement Agency in the massacre of peasants in Honduras might also qualify as a level of violent extremism to which Iran has not aspired." Crusaders against the green-and-red menace, however, are committed to their hallucinated reality, capitalising on cold war precedents to underscore the urgency of the situation. A 2011 dispatch from Vanessa Neumann, Senior Fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, defines one of Iran's "principal motivations" in Latin America as "a quest for a base of operations that is close to the US territory, in order to position itself to resist diplomatic and possible military pressure, possibly by setting up a missile base within striking distance of the mainland US, as the Soviets did in the Cuban Missile Crisis". In this same vein, ex-presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann incoherently warned audiences on the campaign trail of Hezbollah's possible "missile sites or weapons sites" in Cuba, while other scholars have moved slightly further afield, inventing Iranian intermediate-range missile launch pads on the Paraguana Peninsula in Venezuela. Never mind the un-invented ubiquity of US, NATO and Israeli weapons sites in the vicinity of Iran. Former diplomat Roger Noriega, whose claims to fame include assisting in the overthrow of the democratically elected president of Haiti, has displaced the blame for continental meddling with his confirmation of the presence of "two Iranian terrorist trainers" on Venezuela's Margarita Island and of an Iranian-Palestinian-Lebanese-Venezuelan plot to "cultivate a terror network on America's doorstep". These calculations appeared in the Washington Post in 2011 despite the fact that Noriega should have ostensibly been banned from news outlets after his alarmist 2010 headline in Foreign Policy - "Chavez's Secret Nuclear Programme" - came with the self-discrediting qualifier: "It's not clear what Venezuela's hiding, but it's definitely hiding something -and the fact that Iran is involved suggests that it's up to no good." As for cold war-era US propaganda according to which a Soviet-infiltrated Guatemalan regime was scheming to appropriate the Panama Canal, a potential modern-day equivalent of such a threat turned up in late 2010 in a Haaretz article about the "ambitious plan by Venezuela, Iran and Nicaragua to create a 'Nicaragua Canal' linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans that would rival the existing Panama Canal". Unfortunately for the anti-Islamo-Bolivarians, it appears that such ambitions may involve the Chinese menace rather than the Islamic one. To be sure, the resuscitation of fearmongering rhetoric about hemispheric penetration is a source of endless entertainment - until one remembers that the aim of some of these fearmongers is not a cold war but a hot one.

Michael Moore steps in to help Oscar-nominated Palestinian filmmaker threatened with deportation in LA
A Palestinian filmmaker on his way to the Oscars was held at Los Angeles International Airport and threatened with deportation before being allowed into the United States.
Emad Burnat, whose 5 Broken Cameras is competing for an Oscar in the Best Documentary Feature category, said US immigration officials took him, his wife and 8-year-old son aside when they arrived in Los Angeles from Turkey on Tuesday evening.
"Immigration officials asked for proof that I was nominated for an Academy Award ... and they told me that if I couldn't prove the reason for my visit, my wife Soraya, my son Gibreel and I would be sent back to Turkey on the same day," Burnat said in a statement.
Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, said in a series of Twitter messages that he stepped in to help resolve the situation.
"Although he (Burnat) produced the Oscar invite nominees receive, that wasn't good enough & he was threatened with being sent back to Palestine. ... Apparently the Immigration & Customs officers couldn't understand how a Palestinian could be an Oscar nominee. Emad texted me for help ... I called Academy officials who called lawyers. I told Emad to give the officers my phone # and to say my name a couple of times," Moore tweeted on Tuesday evening.
Burnat said he and his family were detained for about an hour.
US officials declined to comment on the incident, citing privacy laws.
"Travellers may be referred for further inspection for a variety of reasons to include identity verification, intent of travel, and confirmation of admissibility," US Customs and Border Protection said in a statement. "The United States has been, and continues to be, a welcoming nation."
Burnat, a farmer, is the amateur filmmaker behind 5 Broken Cameras, which documents about five years of protests against land seizures by Israeli forces and Jewish settlers in his village of Bil'in in the occupied West Bank. It was co-directed by Israeli activist and filmmaker Guy Davidi.
It is the first Palestinian film to be nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the Oscars, according to representatives for the film.
5 Broken Cameras is one of five films nominated for an Oscar in the documentary category. One of its competitors is Israeli film "The Gatekeepers," which looks at the decades-old Middle East conflict through the eyes of six top former Israeli intelligence bosses.

The Papers of George Washington: Confederation Series - Papers of George Washington: Confederation Series (Hardback)
George Washington, W.W. Abbot
Published: 31/01/1995
- Not in our warehouse
Volume Three of the Confederation Series of The Papers of George Washington spans the year between May 1785 and April 1786, described by Washington's biographer Douglas Southall Freeman as a year of "drought and distraction." Washington spent most of these months at Mount Vernon, continuing to wrestle with the problems of restoring the plantation and his personal fortune after years of neglect while serving as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army -- efforts hampered by a long summer drought. During these months Washington was distracted by national affairs, particularly the impotence of the Confederation government, and by a constant stream of visitors. His principal concerns, however, were close to home.

RATINGS: 57 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.65 SEASONAL: Special EST. CALORIES: 171 ABV: 5.7%
COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Hopstach typifies the boldness that comes from American hop varieties. The aroma is dominated by fruity ale yeast esters and fragrant grapefruit tones. Initial malt sweetness is low, and citrus fruit and floral hop qualities overpower any other perceived flavors. Aided by the addition of grapefruit zest, the finish is a sharp hop shock that electrifies the mouth, but is not overly bitter.

Sport on TV: Johnno and Jonny get their kicks at Scotland's expense
It was like some elaborate but perfectly executed joke. The wind and rain made it seem just like Scotland on a lovely summer's day. Jonny Wilkinson had the wrong boots on and had one penalty kick from four in the first half. England traipsed off at the interval as if they had been eating deep fried Mars bars. It was all set up for Scotland. But it was all a set-up.
England came out in the second half and played some rugby. Jonny started scoring, then they took him off and brought on the Flood of relief. And so after letting those clogged Scottish bravehearts beat right to the very last, the time came to deliver the cruel punchline and induce the flatline. With his second touch of the ball in the whole match, Chris Ashton scored with three minutes left. He didn't launch himself one-handed at the line, though. A joke's a joke but you don't want to rub it in.
"It has been a monstrously ugly game of rugby," said ITV's Nick Mullins, and that was when Mike Tindall wasn't even on the pitch. "There is a wonderful art gallery in Auckland but I suspect this match won't be going in it." Well you're no oil painting yourself, Nick. Nor is the English summariser. "Phil Vickery is already puffing out his cheeks," said Mullins, but the Raging Bull always looks like that. "I'm just trying to draw breath," said Vickery. That's like attempting to paint thin air. But some galleries are happy to flog a blank canvas for 60 grand these days.
It was a tense encounter, even getting to Jonny. "The battle of the ball," intoned the Scottish half of the summarising team, Scott Hastings. "It's almost like a bar of gold out there." Not a bar of soap then? Or a bar of Mars? And Wilkinson was certainly no Goldenballs yesterday, even if he was kicking his favourite odd-shaped accompaniments. Dan Parks did a decent job after Rory Jackson limped off early, but we know that when it comes to kickinga ball, Scotland are always likely to come up short in the end.
So Martin Johnson's big ruse came off, and England march on to face France. But beware, those dastardly French could be playing a joker of their own. They look so awful that it must be a deliberate ploy. Get ready for a bleu joke next Saturday.

He was introduced as having "a reputation as the dirtiest player in the Premiership" and when he began his 'Bad boys' cha-cha-cha routine by sliding along the floor towards his partner Ola Jordan, you feared he was going to take her out completely. Still, Judge Bruno was impressed. "Nice cleavage," he said. With the long, blond locks it was hard to tell the difference between the two.
Meanwhile Audley Harrison could only fit in three days of practice in Los Angeles instead of the customary three weeks because of his training regime. Training for what, exactly? "He'll be hoping to perform as well on the dancefloor as he did in the ring," they said. Let's hope he does a little better than that.
Judge Craig described his hands as "spatulistic", and it was a good job that Chris Eubank never tried to coin that word. Audley may not float like a butterfly, but at least he got a big hand from the audience to go with the pair he already has.

Longer days mean sap, syrup and outdoor family fun
When my oldest son was just an infant, we, like so many other new parents,...
Did he or didn't he? "He" being clarinetist Ross Gorman of Paul Whiteman's Palais Royal Orchestra.
Never heard of him or them?
Well, you've heard of George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, right? And the clarinet's upward glissando which starts the piece? It's now one of the most instantly recognizable openings in all of music. Well, according to one anecdote it was Gorman who came up with the "smear" while joking around in rehearsal. Gershwin loved it and told Gorman to add a wail to it in the concert. Another anecdote posits that Gorman didn't come up with the smear, but that Gershwin had planned it from the get-go, even though the orchestration was by Ferde Grofé. And yet another anecdote has Gershwin working with Gorman for an hour to get the right sound for the smear.
Whatever the true story, that smear and wail helped Rhapsody in Blue turn American music on its ear one snowy February afternoon in 1924 in New York's Aeolian Hall. The piece was a hit with the audience, thanks in small part to that smear, but the critics were divided. Some were sanguine, others dismissive.
Rhapsody in Blue was composed on Whiteman's request for a concerto that would place jazz on an equal footing with so-called highbrow classical music. The tuneful work was stitched together by Gershwin in short order. Ten days stated Gershwin in 1926. By 1930, he was claiming three weeks.
No recording exists of that 1924 première, but Gershwin did make a piano roll of the work in 1925. It's a frenzied almost manic reading with tempos taken at breakneck speeds, far faster than one usually hears in concert halls today. It's a wild ride for sure, one that can easily conjure up in the mind's eye scenes of Tin Lizzies barrelling down the Big Apple's bustling avenues, or a night train nailing it from New York to New Haven in no time flat. This was the Jazz Age, and whether he realized it or not at the time, Gershwin, 27, had just composed a classic of that era.
With Rhapsody in Blue, Gershwin was rolling in green. He toured it through Europe and the U.S., and was offered $50,000 for its use in an eponymous feature film. Nice work if you can get it. Who could ask for anything more?
Nowadays a pops concert staple, Rhapsody in Blue is one of the best known American concert works. In fact, back in 1999, it was ranked No. 9 in the 20th century's most publicly performed pieces according to ASCAP, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers which tracks these sorts of things to determine royalty payments and licensing fees. (Happy Birthday to You was No. 1.)
Never content to rest on his laurels, and in an attempt to silence his carping critics, Gershwin set about to compose another piano concerto, this one to be premièred by the New York Symphony Orchestra in Carnegie Hall in December 1925. Its working title was the New York Concerto, replaced later by Piano Concerto in F. In it, Gershwin draws from the same musical well, only here the unabashed glee of the single movement, fourteen minute Rhapsody in Blue gives way to a more complex essay lasting a hair over half an hour and structured in the time-honoured form of three movements — something that assuaged more than a few of his critics.
These two classic Jazz Age concertos will be performed by pianist Ian Parker with the National Academy Orchestra next Wednesday in the McIntyre Theatre. The bill also includes two film scores by Brott Music Festival composer-in-residence Maxime Goulet, by day a Montréal-based composer for video games with music to the Dungeon Hunter series, Iron Man 2, Brothers in Arms 2, and Shrek Forever After to his credit.
Goulet's score to Ann Marie Fleming's three-minute animated short, Running, garnered him first prize in the Victoria Symphony's Reel Music 2008 and SOCAN's Best Original Score: Animated category in 2011. During the 2009 ASCAP Film Music Workshop in Los Angeles, Goulet rescored the final three minutes of screenwriter John Fusco's feature flick, Hidalgo. Both films will be screened with the NAO performing Goulet's scores in sync. Expect the music to be as easily digestible as Goulet's Symphonic Chocolates suite, a sweet musical confection unwrapped last year by Brott and company.

Twelve More Law Schools Slapped with Class Action Lawsuits Over Employment Data
Back in October, we informed our readers that law school litigators Jesse Strauss and David Anziska intended to file class action lawsuits against 15 additional schools, on top of the two they'd already filed against Cooley Law and New York Law School. In mid-December, we brought you an update on the status of those potential filings after Anziska told us that at least three named plaintiffs had been secured for 11 out of the 15 law schools on October's target list. And now, about a month and a half later, have we got some news for you….
Kinney is currently running an exclusive search for an Asia GC role at a well known tech start-up company, based in Shenzhen. This company has received significant recent praise for their new smart phone device in leading medial outlets, such as the New York Times, TIME, Mashable, Wired, Yahoo, and Forbes, among others.

Tempered hope and unbridled pessimism are both self-fulfilling.

What you've written is true, Mani Mahesh, but the sad truth is that nobody cares about the mood of losers or the poor. The prosperity of a society depends on the optimism of its leaders and minority that has the power and the resources. So if the rich, the one in power and the intellectuals are predominantly optimistic and full of energy things will go well for the society at large. If not, then society will go down.
Optimism as described is for the priviledged ones in developed and in developing nations. For the poor and underpriviledged groups who are below poverty line, are illeterate and are taken back by caste discrimination and serfdom the only hope in these economic shifts is the trickling down of some benefits to them. When we are seeing the widening of disparities, the centralization of resources where comes the hope for the majority in developing nations.

It's true, countries such as India and China are more hungery (ambivalently) than wealthy ones. In order to minimize their future rivalry, western contries will try to achieve more by outside political influence.This is the only way. The will of the people could be managed by their politicians.
The world economy is showing some signs of revival. The U.S. Government made a huge $700 billion stimulus package to bailout U.S. banks from the present crisis. The U.S. Government has indirectly bought these loans from crisis-ridden banks. This package was successful in lessening the immediate pain but it will wholly fail in solving the long term crisis. The stimulus package had has the consequence of artificially maintain high wages in the United States. The cost of production of American companies continues to be more than that of Chinese companies. American companies will therefore not be able to compete with India and China and the resulting downward pressure on wages of American workers will persist.
Nevertheless, this may be a false start. Globalization has encouraged the developed countries to transfer their advanced technologies to the developing countries. They no longer have absolute control of these technologies. As a result, their erstwhile monopoly on advanced goods like computer servers, rockets, nuclear reactors, etc. has evaporated into this air. They are getting some royalty payments from the export of these technologies. But these decline with time. It is necessary to continuously generate new technologies to maintain the stream of income from royalty payments. This does not seem to be happening.
In the fifty odd years after the Second World War many decisive technologies were developed. These included rockets, jet airplanes, computers, nuclear reactors, etc. However, there has been no such development since the internet in the nineties. Thus, they are now receiving fewer royalty payments but they have to compete with hi-tech goods produced in India and China.
The low cost of labour provides a deep advantage to these developing countries. Developed countries will not be able to compete with hi-tech India. As a result the problems of the developed countries will only get worse.
This is inherent in the model of free trade on which present model of globalization is built. Globalization has actually made things difficult for the developed countries. It has encouraged them to transfer advanced technologies to the developing countries. For example, American and French companies are excited about transferring advanced nuclear power reactors to India upon the successful culmination of the nuclear agreement.
In the result, American economy is fast losing its technological advantage and US is slipping as seen in the hue and cry over outsourcing. Globalization removes the comparative advantage of advanced technologies enjoyed by the developed countries till recently. Say the cost of production of nuclear power is Rs 2 ($0.05) per unit against Rs 4 ($.10) per unit for thermal power. The cost of nuclear energy in the U.S. will be Rs 2 ($0.05). On the other hand India will have to produce thermal power at Rs 4 ($.10) per unit if the U.S. does not export the technology of nuclear reactors.
Consequently the cost of production of goods in India will be more and the U.S. can pay higher wages to its workers to that extent. But companies producing nuclear reactors will be deprived of profits from the export of their reactors. Corporations have an inherent tendency to make profits. They do not examine the long term consequences of their actions. In the result, they will supply advanced nuclear reactors to India, the cost of energy in India will also get reduced to Rs 2 ($0.05) per unit, and the U.S. companies will not be able to compete with India. Cheaper production in India will make it impossible for the U.S. companies to pay higher wages to their workers as they were paying previously.
Free trade has added to the woes of developed countries in another way. The daily wage of an unskilled worker in India is about Rs 200 ($4.55) against Rs 5,000 ($ 114) in the U.S. It has become profitable for U.S. companies to produce in India and export the manufactured goods to their home economy. Wal-Mart is procuring about 80 percent of its goods from China. Production of garments, toys and footwear has practically come to an end in the U.S. Such has happened because China and India have got the winning combination of advanced technologies and cheap labour.
I am all for globalization but it's a tad bit premature to call it "redistribution" of hope. Forget about unemployment in the US, it seems the un(der) employment among educated fresh graduates (!) in China is pretty intense.
"Unable to find a bed and unimpressed by the rabbit warren of slapdash buildings, Ms. Liu scowled as the smell of trash wafted up around her. "Beijing isn't like this in the movies," she said."
Haha welcome to reality girl!
"Chinese sociologists have come up with a new term for educated young people who move in search of work like Ms. Liu: the ant tribe. It is a reference to their immense numbers — at least 100,000 in Beijing alone — and to the fact that they often settle into crowded neighborhoods, toiling for wages that would give even low-paid factory workers pause."
""Compared with Beijing, my hometown in Shanxi feels like it's stuck in the 1950s," said Li Xudong, 25, one of Ms. Liu's classmates, whose father is a vegetable peddler. "If I stayed there, my life would be empty and depressing.""
I knew there was inequity but didn't know it was this much! No wonder you have "ant tribes" crawling all over :-)

No. There have been many times when I have found over-priced third-world garbage (poorer materials and workmanship) on retail shelves and asked for higher quality goods (made in any of a number of less-abusive countries). At times, I've sought out the managers or owners or sent e-mail to get that point across. The next day or month, there is more garbage and fewer high quality goods on the shelves.
Like Obama, the executives refuse to listen to customers, and instead listen to the siren call of diverting more money into their personal pockets and "big profits" to be made at some always out of reach future data in the third world.
Economic hope comes from the prospect of improvement of your economic situation in comparison with your past or current economic situation.
If someone else is better off through his own honest efforts, then that gives me more hope that I can do the same. Certainly, if honest people I know are getting ahead it will boost my own hopes.
OTOH, if I see many people (e.g. most politicians and bureaubums, many executives in business and academia) growing better off or merely getting away with harming others through initiation of force and fraud (including the proliferation of privacy violation schemes), it erodes hope.
I'm an optimist. I'm still hopeful that we can persuade the politicians to stop impeding and violating the rights of Americans (and Brits), that we can eliminate some of the artificial incentives they have created which encourage bodyshopping, that we can eliminate the Socialist Insecurity Abomination, Medicare, Medicaid, National Socialist Obamacare (and the pay-roll taxes along with them), income extortion (replacing it with a retail tax below 10% and import tariffs below 10% other than penalties), the Federal Reserve, FDIC, competition impairing activities of the FTC and FCC and USDA, and the many quangos (Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, Sallie Mae...) in a timely manner. I've always considered them temporary aberrations. I'm hopeful that we can secure the borders and ports, conduct proper background investigations on every visa applicant, and place a temporary moratorium on E-3, F, H, J, L and other visas to allow the markets to recover.
With all of the engineers the US and UK tax-victims have educated for the third world and all the physical capital we've shipped to them, they should have plenty to eat, plenty of potable water and waste-water treatment facilities, and plenty of teachers. And to hear the IV people talk, you'd think that every person born in the third world was a genius instead of the usual 1%; certainly all of those genii should be able to take care of it with their hands tied behind their backs.
Life has gotten much worse for many "in the West" over the last 50 years, and, unless my hopes are fulfilled, it will continue down-hill.
Once Upon A Time
The feel of a brand new eraser in your hand is wonderful. It's clean, no frayed edges, just clean and ready to go; to change, to reshape, to modify, to start fresh. Creativity abounds with a new eraser in hand.
But alas, when the eraser is worn, blotted with ink stains, and used up, with no fresh new ideas, the rubber fibers unbraid.
Once upon a time, the Western World used new erasers and created economic and masterpieces of human kind accomplishments. Not anymore.
The Western civilization is so corrupt to the core that even our Judges can be bought for political and self serving allegiances. And so, what can we expect from our stockbroker or any fiduciary.
Today, the Western World indeed has erased its conscience and devoured its soul.
Richard Michael Abraham, Founder

I think globalization has been around long enough for even a disinterested spectator to realize that it pretty much means the 'rich' countries will race down, and the 'poor' countries will race up, until they meet in the middle. So maybe once the rich countries drop to the appropriate level of affluence, things will start to get better, but saying that as a positive is sort of like saying if you stop breathing for 30 minutes, all your medical ailments will be cured. So what? It really all comes down to psychology. People who go from a $10k a year to $20k will be much more optimistic than someone trying to adjust from $50k to $40k. Talking about the 'benefits' of lowering living standards is like talking about the 'benefits' of becoming handicap because now you never have to worry about having to stand on the bus. The political explosion in the Western world due to the rise of distrust and discontent will drop the world a lot farther than the 'happy point' envisioned by economists.
For those genuinely worried about the perillous direction the West is hurtling towards, here are a few well-researched & illuminatory books that unmistakably analyse & illustrate the raison deitre for the sharp decline & fall of the western countries:
The Creature from Jekyll Island - G. Edward Griffin
Hope of the Wicked: The Master Plan to Rule the World - Ted Flynn
The Seeds of Destruction & The Century of War - F. William Engdahl
Irrational Exuberance - Robert Shiller
The Tyranny of Good Intentions - Paul C Roberts
Wake up & shake a leg, folks..
Hope does not come from what you can change in the future. That's tottaly idealist ! By saying that you are giving a complement to mankind that is not diserved ! Have you noticed how hope changed towards emerging markets instantly after the crisis, as these countries fared better ? HOPE COMES FROM THE IMPROVEMENT OF YOUR ECONOMIC REALITY (IN COMPARISSON TO SOME ONE ELSE'S ECONOMIC REALITY).
Unfortunalty the vast majority of us still think happines means having that car, that house, watch, fancy dinner, champanhe, etc. It also means having more than your neibor. It is like the common story of one guy who lived in Manhatam, had $1Million, but was very unhappy because his neibors had much more money, even though he had access to almost anything he wnated in life. After becoming depressed and losing a big part of his money, he moved to the countryside, with $100.000 left from his savings, and felt much better because all his new frineds were much poorer. So he had less money and was happier !!!

Light (& hope) travel only in straight lines. Quit your devious ways..
The Eastern Developing world has nothing to lose, nowhere to go but up.
The Western world needs to encourage job creation from domestic industries and population growth, rather than encouraging mass immigration and outsourcing to foreign countries. WAKE UP!!
The Playing field will never be level, but Westerners must resist unfair trade practices. Our leaders must instill nationalistic pride and only utilize the global village network if it helps our society.
Corporations that take advantage of the global trade network for their advancement and hide behind curtains to the detriment of their founding nation should not be supported.
We are not being selfish, we are being nationalistic.
Support your neighbors in their endeavors, what goes around comes around.
The poor and developing countries will never be able to or allowed
to catch up with the white western world as long as they are
compelled to fellow the rules of WTO and the IMF ,etc which are largely established and made up by the white western world over times in their favor and are inherently discriminatory. Therefore, the rules of those organizations must be changed or rewritten to level the playing field if the non-western world are to catch up with the white western world.
It's a wonderful world now that wikileaks and openleaks are showing US why it "will be" a wonderful world, with transparency.
Iran was born out of the ashes of former US middle east foreign policy. Sit back and watch a few documented facts:
It's perhaps irony, and perhaps pity that the author is trying to gloss over the reality that the ideology propagated by Milton Friedman is not working at all; Worse yet, still a handful of people think that it can be made to work. True, India and China or perhaps Brazil are posting good GDP growth rate, but the wealth is still concentrated into a few hands and majority of the population is reeling under high inflation and low-wage and this growth rate is achieved by inhuman tricks such as imposing poor work condition,low-wage, not to mention pegging currency too low. In countries like India, the growth is often accompanied by rampant corruption. There is little doubt that this article correctly reflects on the situation of the USA and Europe (barring Germany). In U.S Obama's promise of 'HOPE' turns out to be a dead sea fruit and most of the Europe is reeling under deficit and unemployment. The article boasts that more and more people can access to Internet than ever, but keeps mum on ever more people are grappling poverty, hunger and malnuttrtion. What about Africa? Is there any hope there? Definitely there's a hope, but no hope for Free-Market, Consumption and Internet driven Capitalism.

MIT researchers develop new programming language for multicore image processing
August 06, 2012 // Nick Flaherty
Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have developed a new programming language for multicore image processing algorithms called Halide.
Not only are Halide programs easier to read, write and revise than image-processing programs written in a conventional language, but because Halide automates code-optimization procedures that would ordinarily take hours to perform by hand, they're also significantly faster says the team.
In tests, the MIT researchers used Halide to rewrite several common image-processing algorithms whose performance had already been optimized by seasoned programmers. The Halide versions were typically about one-third as long but offered significant performance gains two-, three-, or even six-fold speedups. In one instance, the Halide program was actually longer than the original but the speedup was 70-fold.
However the developmentis currently separate to the OpenCL multicore programming specification.
Jonathan Ragan-Kelley, a graduate student in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), and Andrew Adams, a CSAIL postdoc, led the development of Halide, and they've released the code online.
Halide doesn't spare the programmer from thinking about how to parallelize efficiently on particular machines, but it splits that problem off from the description of the image-processing algorithms. A Halide program has two sections: one for the algorithms, and one for the processing "schedule." The schedule can specify the size and shape of the image chunks that each core needs to process at each step in the pipeline, and it can specify data dependencies for instance, that steps being executed on particular cores will need access to the results of previous steps on different cores. Once the schedule is drawn up, however, Halide handles all the accounting automatically.
A programmer who wants to export a program to a different machine just changes the schedule, not the algorithm description. A programmer who wants to add a new processing step to the pipeline just plugs in a description of the new procedure, without having to modify the existing ones. (A new step in the pipeline will require a corresponding specification in the schedule, however.)
"When you have the idea that you might want to parallelize something a certain way or use stages a certain way, when writing that manually, it's really hard to express that idea correctly," says Ragan-Kelley. "If you have a new optimization idea that you want to apply, chances are you're going to spend three days debugging it because you've broken it in the process. With this, you change one line that expresses that idea, and it synthesizes the correct thing."
Although Halide programs are simpler to write and to read than ordinary image-processing programs, because the scheduling is handled automatically, they still frequently offer performance gains over even the most carefully hand-engineered code. Moreover, Halide code is so easy to modify that programmers could simply experiment with half-baked ideas to see if they improve performance.
"You can just flail around and try different things at random, and you'll often find something really good," says Adams. "Only much later, when you've thought about it very hard, will you figure out why it's good."
