Say it ain't so, Joe
Senator McCarthy, wrong and wright.
Jul 24, 2006, Vol. 11, No. 42 • By HARVEY KLEHR
Ever since his college days at Marquette, McCarthy had been a successful poker player with a penchant for reckless betting and wild bluffs. He first ran for district attorney after only one year as a lawyer. After enlisting in the Marines during World War II, he maneuvered a shipboard accident into a Purple Heart, and a handful of rides on an airplane in combat situations into an undeserved Distinguished Flying Cross. Although he'd spent most of his time in the South Pacific as a ground intelligence officer, he reveled in the self-chosen nickname: "Tailgunner Joe."
His 1946 election was also truly audacious. Abandoning the Democratic party in 1944, he first ran in a primary against an incumbent Republican senator while on leave from the Marines. Two years later he took on one of the icons of Wisconsin politics, Senator Robert LaFollette Jr. McCarthy was the beneficiary of LaFollette's decision to merge his Progressive party into the Republican party and the ensuing resentment felt towards him by longtime conservatives. LaFollette barely campaigned and, damaged by internal party feuding, lost the primary by 5,000 votes. After overwhelming the hapless Democratic candidate, Joe McCarthy, whose only previous elected office was as a county judge, entered the United States Senate.
McCarthy's disdain for the rules and courtesies of the Senate infuriated his colleagues, both Republican and Democratic. He was rude, insulting, and boorish. His perverse defense of SS troops convicted of massacring American prisoners of war in Belgium presaged his later attack on the U.S. Army, and was hardly an issue likely to endear him to many Americans. Media observers rated him one of the worst senators. But after the Wheeling speech, Joe McCarthy was a household name.
Recklessness alone hardly accounted for the reaction he generated. McCarthy himself was surprised and flustered by the attention that suddenly came his way. Wicker notes that, in the previous two years, the top leadership of the American Communist party had been convicted of conspiring to teach and advocate the overthrow of the government by force and violence, and the Soviet Union had exploded an atomic bomb, ending America's nuclear monopoly. Two months before the Wheeling speech, Mao Zedong's Communists had seized power in China. One month before, Alger Hiss had been convicted of perjury for denying turning State Department material over to a Communist spy ring. Early in February 1950 Klaus Fuchs confessed to giving the Soviet Union atomic bomb secrets from Los Alamos.
That trusted government employees could be spies was not some theoretical possibility. Few Americans were willing to tolerate Communist sympathizers working in the federal government. Substantial numbers worried that a Democratic administration was loath to ferret out more embarrassing details about how much subversion had taken place during its long control of the executive branch.
Had the Democrats reacted differently, McCarthy might not have gotten as much traction as he did. The weakest portion of Wicker's analysis is his account of the Tydings Committee, the Senate body set up to investigate the charges. Its goal was to discredit McCarthy and protect the Truman administration, not uncover the truth about Soviet espionage. While many of McCarthy's specific charges could be debunked--most notably his absurd claim, soon recanted, that Lattimore was a top Soviet spy--the Tydings Committee ignored evidence of Lattimore's pro-Soviet views and refused to confront evidence that high officials in the Justice and State Departments had conspired to cover up espionage in a case dating from 1945, which Wicker ignores.
While the Tydings Committee dismissed allegations that State Department officers had worked to undermine American opposition to the Chinese Communists, American troops were soon in battle with Communist forces in Korea.
Wicker debunks some of the more alarmist claims about McCarthy. Despite the damage he did, he never created a reign of terror and his influence, while not negligible, has been overestimated. From the moment he became prominent, famous and powerful figures in politics, the press, and the intellectual world launched attacks on him. Wicker notes that, although he has been credited with bringing down several Democratic incumbents who criticized him--including Millard Tydings of Maryland and two Democratic majority leaders, Scott Lucas of Illinois and Ernest McFarland of Arizona--such claims are overstated. Many of the people he endorsed actually ran behind other Republicans in their states. His influence was already beginning to wane by the time Murrow went after him.

Mahindra USA lawsuit receives go ahead by US District Court
Mahindra has received yet another setback in the USA. A US District Court has ruled that the lawsuit filed by five dealers of Mahindra USA, should move ahead as against Mahindra's move to dismiss the case.
Mahindra USA was in a four year long deal with Global Vehicles USA on the outskirts of Atlanta. Global Vehicles had a dealer network of 350 retailers, while Mahindra planned on introducing a new line of light trucks. This plan however, never went off the ground and this caused much upheaval in the dealer networks. The launch of these light vehicles was altogether shelved late 2010 which resulted in empty showrooms for many dealers and investments which went awry.
The case went to court where the US District Court in Missouri stated that the deal was between the dealers and Global Vehicles while Mahindra was in no way involved in the contract. However, the Atlanta court has stated otherwise and the case continues.

If change has been the watchword of the 2008 race, the weary rivals for the Democratic nomination enter the next critical week in their never-ending race in agreement: They desperately want to change the subject.
"I don't intend to lose," Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., who has grown too accustomed to losing of late, told ABC's Diane Sawyer Monday on "Good Morning America." On his opponent's promise to temporarily lift the gas tax, he added: "We shouldn't pretend that we're offering them something" in terms of immediate relief at the pump.
No predictions from Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton -- but no let-up in her aggressive populist appeal, either.
"We started out so far behind, and clearly have made up some ground," Clinton, D-N.Y., said on "GMA." On the gas tax -- the surprise issue No. 1 of the race this week: "I feel like goldilocks here. I want to lift the gas tax, and I want to pay for it. . . . It's about time people in public life said let's come up with solutions for, you know, the great majority of Americans."
Suddenly -- and oddly -- Obama and Clinton have found plenty of issues to argue about in the closing days before Tuesday's next round of voting. But that's not what's driving the storyline -- not at this late stage.
The basic dilemma for both candidates on the eve of the primaries in Indiana and North Carolina: Obama just may be winning the nomination even while he's losing it. And Clinton could be losing it even while she's winning.
That's doesn't sound like a fair game (though they have at least played by the same rules). Which is why Obama is trying to do something more than just run out the clock. And it's why Clinton needs something dramatic -- a "game-changer," as she herself has said, if she harbors any realistic hope of an overtime comeback.
James Carville provides the (colorful) color commentary. "The onus is on her," Carville tells Newsweek's Eleanor Clift. "She's got to do better than tie. If she wins Indiana and North Carolina, she's the nominee. She's got to shock the system, and she may be shocking it."
And what else to you need to know about the final Clinton pitch than this? "If she gave him one of her cojones, they'd both have two," Carville said. (Do the math.)
ABC's math says that, Obama continues to build to his delegate lead; with Guam providing a 2-2 split that gives Obama a robust 142-delegate edge.
Obama sees himself bounce back to 50-38 in the new New York Times/CBS poll -- but warning signs abound: "a substantial number say that [Obama's relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright] could influence voters this fall should he be the Democratic presidential nominee," Adam Nagourney and Marjorie Connelly write in the Times.
Attention, superdelegates: "The survey suggested that Mr. Obama, of Illinois, had lost much or all of the once-commanding lead he had held over Mrs. Clinton, of New York, among Democratic voters on the question of which of them would be the strongest candidate against [Sen. John] McCain, of Arizona."

In a closely watched case involving the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, a federal court has ruled that a small North Carolina company can continue selling a chip that makes it possible to use refilled toner cartridges in Lexmark printers.
A federal appeals court overturned on Tuesday a preliminary injunction that barred Sanford, N.C.-based Static Control from selling its Smartek chip.
Static, which sells printer parts and other business supplies, has been defending a lawsuit brought by Lexmark, the No. 2 maker of printers in the United States. The suit claims the Smartek chip violates the DMCA, and Lexmark hopes the case will slam the brakes on the toner cartridge remanufacturing industry and compel consumers to buy its cartridges.

The Challenge
The world is facing a climate crisis as the levels of global warming gases, especially carbon dioxide, have already exceeded the levels needed for a stable and safe climate. As noted in a December 2012 article in Scientific American, "Extreme Weather Explained", global climate change has outpaced even the dire predictions of several years ago. At the same time our health and environment suffers from "conventional" air pollution including low-level ozone, soot, sulfur and nitrogen oxides, and mercury. The principal sources of world-wide climate pollution and unhealthy local pollution are coal-fired power plants. In addition, coal presents real environmental and safety hazards through mining (including mountain-top removal), washing, transporting, burning, and the disposal of ash.
The US Department of Energy, Energy Information Service reports that Americans have reduced the portion of electrical energy from coal from 49% in 2007 to 37% in 2012 by substituting clean energy (as we are poised to do with offshore wind in Maryland), and by using more natural gas. Converting to alternative energy sources can be costly, slow, and difficult, but is clearly necessary. Alternative energy sources (other than large hydro) supply grew from 3% of national electrical energy supply in 2007 to 5% in 2012. At the same time, new supplies of natural gas increased natural gas's role from 22% in 2007 to 30% in 2012. Unfortunately the reason for this increase is the development of fracking and horizontal drilling wells, with their severe environmental challenges. Natural gas is at best a finite and interim fuel that pollutes less than coal.
The 2008 EmPOWER Maryland law presents another and substantial opportunity to lower our reliance on coal by encouraging reductions in electrical energy use. The 2008 law has the modest goal of reducing our energy and peak power demand by 15% by 2015 on a per capita basis using 2007 as the reference year. Although we were lagging in that goal, we now seem to be on track to meet that goal.
We can do much better
A 2009 McKinsey study, "Unlocking energy efficiency in the US economy", found that individuals and businesses could decrease their energy use by 25% through savvy investments in energy efficient technologies. In 2010 I designed a daylighting system for an auto repair facility in Columbia, Maryland that reduced electrical energy demand by 40%. A 2011 overhaul of the lighting at the Maryland Sierra Club office reduced energy use by 74% and it just did the same for its new larger office.
To combat climate change and reduce adverse health effects, we also need to reduce the amount of natural gas used for electrical generation and for direct use such as space and water heating.
Reducing energy and power demands
Before outlining what is needed for a new EmPOWER law, it is important to understand two distinct metrics: Energy and Power. Energy is the capacity of a physical system to perform work. Residential consumers pay for kilowatt-hours (kWh), a measure of electrical energy, and that is all analog electrical meters can measure. For example, it takes a certain amount of electrical energy in kWh for your refrigerator to keep your food cold for one day.
Power is the rate at which energy is delivered. It is measured in units of kilowatts (kW). Peak power consumption generally occurs on hot summer afternoons, when air conditioning systems are running the hardest. Unfortunately, the ability of power stations to deliver power is reduced when temperatures are the highest. Regional and local power distribution capacity is lower as the electrical resistance of wires increases as temperatures rise. When demand exceeds supply brownouts or outages ensue. Thus, reducing peak power demand helps reliability. Because smart meters track power use, utilities can bill for peak power usage. Because large electric users currently pay for peak power consumption (as well as total energy consumed), they try to reduce their peak usage. Extending this plan to the retail level could further improve reliability while providing more opportunities to reduce electric bills. Even now, residential consumers can reduce their bills by allowing their utility company to install a Digital Cycling Unit (DCU) that can turn off their heat pumps and air-conditioners when the energy grid is stressed.
Improving EmPOWER
The Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) has held meetings and solicited comments to gather information on how to improve and extend EmPOWER law. Details about the process and their report are posted on the MEA website: http://energy.maryland.gov/empower. You are also welcome to contact me for further information.

Jake Gyllenhaal has teamed up with Chef Alice Waters to teach Bay Area inner-city youth about sustainable farming and eating healthier.
"I grew up around gardens and growing my own food, my family did that a lot and that was real source of community," the Source Code actor said. "Growing up, more than anything, I got to know my mother and father and my sister and they got to know me at the dinner table."
Gyllenhaal also said the point of teaching kids about growing their own food is to get them to think about where their meals come from.
"The essence of the idea with these gardens is that kids can come into them and they can experience what it's like to grow something and see something grow. When they do this they have a different relationship to what they eat," said Gyllenhaal.
Waters and Gyllenhall both hope to expand their program into other school districts.

New Sony Alpha coming this week
Sony will announce the launch of its latest Digital SLR camera this week a number of sources close to the company have confirmed to Pocket-lint.
First reported on at PMA in Las Vegas in March after Sony said they were working on a new camera apart of its Alpha range, the internet has been awash with leaked specs, names, images.
We are expecting news of the new camera thought to be an entry-level model, to land at the end of the week.
Last month, in the post on the Sony Alpha site, Mark Weir, senior technology and marketing manager for Alpha and Cyber-shot digital cameras said; "It won't be much longer!".
If the sources are correct, it won't be much longer indeed. We will keep you posted.

The Ancient Greeks: New Perspectives by Stephanie Lynn Budin.
I borrowed (thank God I didn't pay for it!) and read a copy of this book.
I didn't know the expression "New Perspectives" was a code for "Vardaskan Propaganda".
This letter is addressed to the author of this deplorable book.
I was very disappointed by your work. You seem to be extremely ignorant of the Ancient Greek culture and history. I would even go as far as to call you the "Alan Dershowitz" of Greek history. It's sad that people like you and Dershowitz can "write" and publish books. Neither of you has the knowledge to teach or write books; to educate and/or inform people.
I present here two examples of your ignorance and utter impotence to discuss Ancient Greek history.
I. You mention in your book that :
The Greeks had always thought of the Macedonians as northern barbarians
(as opposed to the Persians, who were eastern barbarians). Actually, to the Athenians, the Macedonians were worse than barbarians if we are to believe Demosthenes, who claimed that Philip was "Not only not a Greek nor related to the Greeks, but not even a barbarian from a land worth mentioning. No! He is a pestilence from Macedonia, a region where you cannot even buy a slave worth his salt!" (Orations 9.31).
To begin with, you fail to specify the meaning of the word "barbarian". I must assume you are not aware that the word did not always have an ethnic/racial meaning. Do some -serious- research and you will find out that Athenians called Spartans and Corinthians "barbarians" as well. To call someone barbarian was more an insult than a derogatory label with an ethnic/racial connotation.
Next, you fail to place Demosthenes' speech into the actual historical context it occurred. When did the speech take place, where, and why? Obviously you do not have a clue. You offer no insight or detail in regards to Demosthenes' speech.
Finally, Greece as a distinct and unified nation (Ethnos) did not exist before 1832 A.D. Ancient Greece was divided into city-states that had their own army and government; so even if some Athenians called the Macedonians barbarians that did not mean that other city-sates shared the same view. So, to say that all Greeks called Macedonians barbarians is simply a gross generalization.
II. To make things worse you state that :
Although Alexander himself was not Greek, and his father
had conquered Greece by force, Macedonians liked to think of themselves
as Greek—hence Alexander's concern with how Greece had been treated by
Sparta conquered Athens by force, with the help of the Persian Empire! Does that prove that Spartans were not Greeks? Your "logic" is fundamentally flawed.
Once again your ignorance is obvious. It is well known that Macedonians and Spartans were both descendants of Dorians.
Are the names Alexander and Phillip Greek or not? Do you know of a lot of kings that had foreign names? How many Persian Kings had Greek names? How come there is not even one document where the Macedonians express/state their disappointment or hate for Greece (Greece being, according to you, a hostile country that despised them so much)?
Macedonians spoke Greek, their mythology, religion, philosophy, and culture were Greek and they were blood brothers with the Spartans, yet you somehow decided that they were not Greek. Why? Obviously because Demosthenes spoke against Philip!
Please stop writing your tripe and focus on something you can actually do - maybe gardening or cooking. You are a disgrace to all scholars that have studied and written about Ancient Greece and especially the one and only Greek Macedonia.

Nathan Horton missed a good chunk of last season with concussion symptoms, but now he's back — and in a big way. On Wednesday's matchup against the Rangers, Horton was responsible for the Bruins escaping Madison Square Garden with a point, beating Henrik Lundqvist from just below the point for an equalizing goal that sent the game to overtime. Likewise, Horton just seems happy to be symptom free and back around his teammates in the locker room and on the ice. Check out what Horton had to say to Naoko Funayama just before the Bruins took on the Islanders at the TD Garden on Friday.

Mississippi State is in good position after the first three weekends of Southeastern Conference play.
The Bulldogs have won their first three SEC series and are tied for first in the Western Division with a 6-3 league record. Alabama is also at 6-3 after sweeping Ole Miss in Tuscaloosa this past weekend to tie State for the top spot in the West.Â
MSU had to overcome adversity this past weekend. The Bulldogs fell to Arkansas in game one of a doubleheader. They rebounded and won game two and won the rubber game on Sunday to take the series.
It is the first time in John Cohen's six years as the MSU coach that he has taken a series against the Razorbacks. It's also the first time for the Bulldogs to beat Arkansas in a series since 2008.
"Everybody's trying to win their series," Cohen said. "Everybody wants to win their game, but realistically everybody is trying to win their series. In some circumstances, there's a little bit of luck that's involved with the scheduling component. Are you playing somebody who's playing really well at that moment? Are you playing somebody who's not playing well at that moment?"

BBC's Arab Spring coverage was "sporadic" [1]
Kofi Annan's former Director of Communications criticises reporting.
Kofi Annan's former Director of Communications criticises reporting.
by Press Gazette [2] Published
The BBC's coverage of the Arab Spring ignored events in some countries that were forgotten in the rush to concentrate on "big" stories, according to a new report.
Edward Mortimer, a journalist and former director of communications for United Nations secretary-general Kofi Annan, reviewed the corporation's coverage across television, radio and online.
His criticisms come as the BBC's embarks on a Delivering Quality First cost-saving review which it has said will see it focus on "doing fewer things better".

Okay. I warned you that this blog would sometimes dip into political issues. (As fascinated with politics as I am and always have been, as politically opinionated as I am, I've done relatively few political posts, thus far.) So here's a political item:
I've heard remarkably good things, from people who know her or have followed her and whose opinions I respect, about the mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah, who is running for Utah's new congressional seat.
Moreover, I frankly confess — though it comes uncomfortably close (for me) to tokenism — that the thought of Utah being represented in the United States House of Representatives by a black conservative Mormon woman strikes me as almost irresistibly attractive.
Here is a recent article about her.
And here is her campaign website.

UFC welterweight Mike Pierce is on a four-fight win streak since dropping a split decision to Josh Koscheck early in 2012. Hoping for a fight that breaks him into the upper echelons of the division, Pierce instead was matched with Rousimar Palhares, who is on a two-fight losing streak, and dropping from middleweight to compete at 170.
In an interview with ESPN's Brett Okamoto, Pierce said he is not happy with the match up.
"I'm pisseded off," said Pierce. "I want to start getting those main card fights against notable guys. Palhares has fought some tough guys. He's got a little bit of credence to his name but I want to start working my up. This guy is coming off two losses and I'm on a 4-fight win streak. Typically, they don't match up guys like that."
Pierce went further, citing Rousimar's failed test for PEDs following his fight against Hector Lombard in December of 2012.
"He tested positive for elevated testosterone levels, so this guy is definitely a cheat," said Pierce. "There's no surprise. He'll do anything to win because he's either desperate or an a------."
In response, Palhares' manager, Alex Davis, came on the UG and
Dear Mike Pierce
From: AJDavis
I saw your comments on Rousimar. Seems that you feel that he is beneath your level as a fighter. I would really like to encourage that! Look past Rousimar! He is no challenge for you! You surely deserve better opponents then himself! In the meanwhile, he is humbly training hard to give you his best!

This match up isn't odd at all, sure his losses have been to contenders, but his biggest win is vs Aaron Simpson (who's another "prelim" fighter). This is a fight he needs to win and win decisively to get the attention he deserves.
10/2/13 5:52 PM by FedorEmilioEstevez
I think we all know Rousimar was suspended 9 months for elevated testosterone so it's not a matter of 'thinking' he's a cheat - he did cheat.Also, I don't think he said it was an 'easy' fight, just odd matchmaking, which it is.

So he didn't get busted for PED's? That was the UFC lying? I don't think he's an easy fight at all but if you get caught CHEATING, then yes I think that makes you a cheater lol.

Pierce is getting someone with a known name, even if on a losing streak and a confirmed headcase. If he beats Paul Harris, I suspect he will get what he wants. The fans like to see the animal, Paul Harris, unchained, just to see what happens, so the fight will be watched and Pierce has an opportunity to increase his visibility.

I may be in the minority but I think Mike Pierce is tragically underrated. It is very obvious that he is not looked highly upon by UFC brass.

This is the best BB Cream I've tried. Natural look with the perfect amount of coverage! Looks brilliant the whole day, even on my combination skin.Jenny, England
The best bb creme I will repurchase it. Blends in naturally smells really good and stays on all day.Sofia, greece
This is a wonderfull BB-cream. It gives a nice natural glow and cover, and if you ant extra coverage don't switch to your heavy foundation, just put on an extra layer. I have medium toned skin, and the darkest matches very well in fall/wintertime. I really recomend this one, I use it almost every day now.Mia, Norway
Hands down, best purchase of 2013. The texture is very blend able, making it looks natural. It perfects your skin without masking it. And the scent is lovely too. The pink tint gives you a healthy glow. Well worth every cent.Ellya, Netherlands
i absolutely love this stuff! it so lightweight, i don't feel like i have anything on my skin and i genuinely can't actually feel it when i touch my face which i love!Grace, UK
Whats also great about this product is that it got such a high coverage! If I'm ever having a hormonal breakout and i want to cover it up without slapping on some foundation i head straight for this. its so versatile and lasts all day!
I didn't understand the hype for BB creams and as someone with combination skin all the ones I tried just made me look so oily after about an hour. On a whim I purchased this, not expecting too much, just a light base to use on weekends, but I have been so impressed. It is so smooth and doesn't settle in any lines, it looks amazing on - every time I've worn this I've been complimented on my skin (which is uneven and blemish prone- so definitely not the best!) and it doesn't even look like I'm wearing make-up. Obviously as its a BB cream, it is an incredibly light coverage so concealer is needed but overall I think it's a gorgeous productMollie, England
I love this bb cream, it has good coverage and works well for my oily skin. It's definitely worth the price tag and has a lovely finish. I find it applies best using my fingers rather than a brush for a more natural finish.Shauna, UK
This is the best BB creme out there. Its incredibly light and it doesn't look or feel like i have anything on my face! It blends really well and the coverage is brilliant. Well worth the price tag.Grace, United Kingdom
Gives a natural and healthy looking finish. Easy to apply and stays good throughout the day. The smell is delicate and gives the product that everyday luxury feeling.Silje, United Kingdom
Really good BB cream, looks natural on the skin..Ida, Hrvatska
I'm a man fortunate enough to have grey, pasty skin and big dark circles around my eyes. Always worn cosmetics (I was a New Romantic at 13!); for skin, - foundations, primers, tinted moisturisers etc plus every type of concealer and corrector. Now I'm older I don't want to look like I'm plastered in make up nor do I want to display my grey skin. This product is just amazing. I apply very lightly over my face plus under my eyes and immediately look healthier - the dark circles clearly don't disappear but are significantly better without crayon concealer sinking into the lines. Heartily recommend it - fantastic product.Huw thomas, United Kingdom
Truly wonderful. Whilst a little goes a long way it also looks natural and is extremely long lasting. This is now my new holy grail product.Colleen, Ireland
Great product - skin looks healthy and glowing. Complimented on 'clear and flawless' looking skin when wearing this.Catriona, North-East
Ohh this is so good lasts the day and night if need be! Have tried others but this by far the best! Great buy!Lisa, Belfast
I really love this product!Idoia Pérez, Bilbao
I've been loving Diorskin Nude BB Creme so so much recently! The problem with my skin is it's extreme whiteness - and some blemishes as well, also in the winter which is quite severe in Russia, it gets too dry... But this product works miracles, covering it all and smoothing my skin, making it young, radiant and perfectly white. Oh, dear. Thank you, Dior!Ksenia, Moscow

interviewBy Akoma Chinweoke
Mr. John Egesi is a former director-general, National Maritime Authority (now NIMASA) and President, Nigerian Institute of Shipping (NIS). In this interview, he sheds light on how the peculiarity Nigeria shares with other sub Sahara African countries is both a weakness and a strength.
What do you perceive as dangers in running an import-dependent economy particularly as Nigerian aspires to be one of the world's leading economies?
The term 'import-dependent' is a bit problematic. Most countries are import-dependent. What sets one country apart from the other is what they use their import for. Most developed countries and thriving emerging economies add value to their import before re-exporting the finished products thus giving themselves healthy balance of payment. However, where a country consumes most of her imports without adding value to it through some process of manufacture, then there is definitely a problem. Nigeria is in the position of the latter. Nigeria has avoided bankruptcy all these years because of the great demand for her crude. But as we all know, not only has our crude a limited life span, it is also heavily under pressure from climate change realities and in competition with climate change dedicated technologies like the solar and electric car not to mention improved techniques for the extraction of shale gases in US and Europe.
Every past Nigerian government has been aware of the need to minimize our percentage of import consumption. The establishment of textile factories, vehicle assemblies, Nigerian National Shipping Line, Export Promotion Council, Nigerian Shippers Council, National Maritime Authority and banning of all sorts of imports (e.g. rice, cars, textile, etc), among others, are footprints of genuine efforts at minimizing the outflow of scarce foreign exchange while trying to replace banned items with locally produced ones. While one should commend some of the past efforts of government in trying to improve the balance of payment and job opportunities in Nigeria particularly in the institutions established to improve our foreign exchange earnings (e.g. Export Promotion Council ,NMA etc), the approach to achieving a diversified export-oriented industrialization was at best very unimaginative, crude and most ineffective. If government policies have been effective, Malaysia and Indonesia would have been flocking to Nigeria to purchase our made-in-Nigeria products instead of the other way round. But it failed and failed big!! That is why after some 50 years plus Nigeria is still an industrial toddler.
While corruption must have played a part, the major fault lies with our crude unimaginative and excessive application of protectionist policies. In fact if we had gotten our policies right it might have made some of our corruption tendencies unnecessary. If we had gotten our policies right we would also have prioritized the issue of power long ago and be forced to pay more attention to our road and rail infrastructure.
In the past 50 years our policies to develop our local industries consist mainly of the following general protection formula: To get into poorly assembled car business, we banned all cars and left the country at the mercy of two car manufacturers. To get into the textile industry (wool, cotton), we banned all forms of textile materials and abandoned the country at the mercy of printed rough low-count cotton manufacturers. We banned wheat and rice when the country had no significant wheat and rice farms.
Since most of these policies were made through some form of military fiat and does not take into account the intelligence of an average Nigerian importer, the traders cleverly import the items through the neighboring countries and bring them in through our porous borders. These countries earn the port charges from the ships and collect the duties for the items. Since the items are banned, very little option is left for the Customs, if they are lucky to see them. Most, knowing how important the items are for families (they have their own), simply look the other way to allow the items through. Who loses? The country of course! The banned items command inflationary prices while very poor quality home-made protected ones sell at prices slightly above the imported ones before they were banned. It never occurred to the government that since they started the isolationists' policies, none of the protected industries ever improved its product. They remain at their entry level like the famous made-in-India Ambassador car, whether for those who started 30-40 years ago or those being protected now!! One is not trying to raise arguments for or against protectionist trade policy, since virtually all nations in the world engage in one form of it or the other. One's position is that we should cleverly study the position of Nigeria as some smart nations like Malaysia and modern India etc. did before applying various policies. We should draw not only a list of our strengths and our weaknesses but also our peculiarities before applying those classical economics instruments which are well known to be harmful in the long run.
In my humble opinion, one of our weaknesses is that we tend to confuse arrogance for national pride and may not have consulted beyond our borders before our annual proclamation of litany of banned items. The fact that we are an independent nation does not mean that we should turn our back to advanced countries that could share their historical experiences with us. Yes, our nationals possess PhDs in economics and may even have appellations like professor, but one is sure that the true teachers amongst them will always advise that we seek a second opinion.
Another harmful weakness we have is in the field of education. Building more universities does not mean that we are improving our standard of education. The FGN should treat the issue of standards in most of our universities as a national emergency. If we are to advance industrially as a nation we must have a well trained manpower to do so. Like most post-colonial African countries, Nigeria has very little modern industrial background - say like China or India who might need a temporal protection of their old position to catch up with the new. This peculiarity which Nigeria shares with other sub Sahara African countries is both a weakness and a strength. It is a weakness in the sense that we do not have the industries but it becomes a strength when our position gives us an opportunity to choose between reinventing the wheel technology or going for the very best. Nigeria has consistently gone for the former. For example when the Federal Military Government banned the importation of lace materials (the best of which were imported from Switzerland) to protect the new local manufacturers none of the very low quality replacement came from traditional lace making industries that Nigerians were used to. They came from Asian countries that have neither the technology nor the proper art of high quality lace making.
When the government invited Peugeot of France to assemble their cars in Nigeria, I believe the government never gave them the required standard of the quality of car it wanted or they were told to produce anything that can sit between four tyres, because none of the cars produced in Nigeria can pass the quality test in France. This kind of attitude with regard to national industrialization makes one wonder whether there was clear thinking on what we hope to achieve. If the national objectives are not clear how can we know when we have achieved them?Another major strength of Nigeria is our large population which all thing considered should be a bait for attracting major companies like GE, GM, Toyota, Sony and some cell phone manufacturers to name but a few provided that we offer the companies a fair deal that will not compromise our interest like employment, dealership, training etc. to start with. The agreements should ensure that goods produced in Nigeria should not be distinguishable from those produced by the same company all over the world and if possible better.
As for the field of agriculture, the government should encourage interested companies or people to produce crops that can compete with imported ones. Subsidies or cheap loans (as the government is presently doing) are the right approach. When we produce enough competing crops we will not need to bother about high import tariff or banning because the generality of Nigerians will not need them.
As a Maritime Economist, what is your understanding of the term cabotage which to many is more of a shipping term?
Believe it or not, the first time I heard of cabotage was when I was studying the development of Air Transport in England. Most aviation experts are quite familiar with the term. Even private aircraft operators who have to fly beyond their own country are aware. It is roughly defined "as the transport of goods and passengers between two points in the same country by an aircraft registered in another country."Application of Air cabotage varies from one country to the other and violation are heavily punished. Most informed Nigerians could be forgiven for thinking that it is exclusively for the maritime industry, given the noises made when the cabotage Act was enacted in 2003.
As the president of the Nigerian institute of shipping what do you think should be done to make the maritime sector more attractive to attract growth to the economy?
One of the greatest impetus to the growth of the maritime industry is the recent commissioning of a shipbuilding yard at Okerenkoko in Delta state by the President. Anything that creates avenue for manpower improvement is good for the economy. I must however warn, that ships are built for their own sake. It is important that even at the construction stage the managers of the shipyard should be looking for business not only in Nigeria and West African sub-region but beyond Africa. With proper financial regime the yard could focus on the cabotage market where serious Nigerian operators would be granted 80percent loan after doing a down payment of 20percent. One must point out that our present business culture of one man and his briefcase will not help. There is need for serious contenders to come together to build vessels. Banks and financial institution could join in this venture. Shipping is not for jokers and pretenders.
If they delivers on its transformational objectives through the PPP principles with minimum leakages through corruption while holding its nerves in removing costly subsidies from the market price of petrol and diverting the excess funds to laying proper infrastructure for the development of a modern economy, Nigeria will be unrecognizable in 5 years.
Looking at the dynamics of trade, how in your view can the country achieve speedy clearance of goods at the ports?
I recall the financial target given by the Federal Government to the Customs. While I fully appreciate the motive of the FGN in setting income objective for the Customs, I was disappointed that a volume/tonnage objective was not included. You see the income objective will do three things. That is, Motivate the Customs to over-value items through higher classification and jacking up of tariff, concentration of Customs attention on high-value import and export and also lead to extortionist tendency and corruption

hi all,
i want to display the category id of the current category outside of the loop. i tried it with
<?php $thecatid = get_cat_ID( $cat_name ) ; echo $thecatid; ?> but it only returns me a '0'.
i found a working solution in the forums
get_cat_id( single_cat_title("",false) ) but i'm not sure if this is really a "clean" solution.

Islanders break slump in dramatic style
Nov 6, 2011, 12:12 AM EDT
Garth Snow must be a happy man tonight. The New York Islanders ended their six-game losing streak in about the best way possible on Saturday:
1. They generated a 5-3 win against a legitimate Stanley Cup contender in the Washington Capitals.
2. The Islanders came back from a 2-0 deficit, showing some heart and toughness along the way.
3. Rick DiPietro earned his first win of the season, a fact that probably delighted Snow almost as much as the embattled goalie.
My guess is that win covered quite a bit of Snow's wish list, although he might be a little pickier (especially since it's possible to lay much of the blame on Tomas Vokoun, who tends to be really "off" in his rare off nights). The important thing is that the Isles kept themselves in the mix in the increasingly unpredictable East, a conference where no team is more than nine points from first place.*
So what's next on the wish list? I'd nominate "earning their first road win of the season."
* – As of this writing, at least.
- charlutes - Nov 6, 2011 at 12:40 AM
The story is Washington runs out of gas after a road game the night before.
- James O'Brien - Nov 6, 2011 at 1:00 AM
No doubt that the back-to-back hurt the Caps, although that doesn't get Vokoun off the hook …
- bcisleman - Nov 6, 2011 at 1:35 AM
So we're giving mulligans for playing back to back are we? If the Caps are supposed to be legit Cup contenders, that shouldn't matter.
The real story is that the NYI are 12th in GA, 11th on the PP, & 14th on the PK. The only reason they hadn't been winning is that player who normally score had not been doing so. They'd played much better against the Pens and the Sharks & might have beaten the Sharks but for a horrendous call in OT. Tonight they found a way to win.
- trbowman - Nov 6, 2011 at 3:29 AM
BREAKING – Rick DiPietro stubs toe, to miss a month.
- danphipps01 - Nov 6, 2011 at 4:08 AM
Don't worry, we've got seventy games still to go. He'll trip on a flat surface and see himself out soon enough.
- bcjim - Nov 6, 2011 at 6:46 AM
Caps lacked the stomach for a fight, especially after going up 2-0. Didn't help that Vokoun was soft and their were hardly any pp ops.
Forget it and move on.

Kitsap lawmakers vary on how to fill projected $1.3 billion deficit
OLYMPIA - The Legislature, after cutting $4.6 billion in spending last spring, must find another $1.3 billion. But where? And when?
Just a few months ago, when lawmakers completed the 2011-13 budget, they figured there'd be $745 million left after the biennium that began July 1. But the economy can't get off the mat, so Thursday chief economist Arun Raha predicted all of the rainy-day fund will be wiped out, and then some.
What would local lawmakers do?
Scrub state agencies, said Sen. Tim Sheldon, D-Potlatch. Mason County, for example, recently received $1 million from the Department of Ecology for watershed planning.
"We have to prioritize and cleanse the state agencies of unnecessary state spending," said Sheldon, who announced Thursday that he reduced his salaries as senator and county commissioner by 3 percent. He also returned $8,000 he's allotted for a post-session newsletter."I don't want to hurt children. I don't want to hurt education. I don't like to see our citizens being manipulated with social service cuts in order to get a tax increase. You can't tax your way out of a recession."
You might work your way out of one, though, said Sen. Derek Kilmer, D-Gig Harbor, who wants the state to aggressively promote jobs.
"This state will not get out of its budget challenges until it gets people back to work," he said.
That includes simplifying taxes and other means to make the state more business-friendly.
Gov. Chris Gregoire has told state agencies to determine how they'd make 5 percent and 10 percent cuts. That information will be a good starting point, Kilmer said.
The state might also educate itself out of economic slumber, said Rep. Larry Seaquist, D-Gig Harbor. Help people improve their skills, get them off unemployment, into better jobs and spending money,
"We have got to stop cutting education," he said. "Education is the ladder out of this hole."
The public needs to have a role in the process.
"These cuts are so deep and come on top of so many other cuts the last few years, we're down now to very serious public questions about what kind of programs we run in the state and how we pay for them," Seaquist said.
There's not much left to cut except programs that protect the most vulnerable residents, said Rep. Sherry Appleton, D-Poulsbo.
"That's the only discretionary money we have, so who knows what's going to happen?" said Appleton, stating that the economy won't spring back without some optimism.
Rep. Jan Angel, R-Port Orchard, said lawmakers were too optimistic when they crafted the budget. They should've realized that recovery would be slow.
"I don't think there were enough cuts made last session," she said.
Angel said lawmakers should quickly give Gregoire the authority to make necessary cuts or get an agreement from budget committee leaders before calling the entire Legislature back to Olympia.
"We don't have the money to be spending $18,000 a day on a special session," she said.
Appleton said a special session isn't necessary. It's difficult to get anything done in a day, although a good time might be when lawmakers are in Olympia for thee days of committee meetings at the beginning of December. Sheldon felt more urgency. He said a special session is needed as soon as possible.
"You cannot cut what you've already spent," he said of delaying.

I know. You get to the park, you think,"I have a limited amount of time today and I REALLY don't want to wait in line for Space Mountain--it's an hour! Forget that!" So you go for the Fastpass. Understandable, hundreds of people a day get Fastpasses for rides across the resort for lines they see as too long to wait in. I have found myself guilty of it in the past, what with my adolescent impatience and my generation's need for things RIGHT NOW. But, what I neglected to realize is that the lines I am trying so hard to avoid I am merely causing by getting a Fastpass for any E-ticket on the map.
I didn't really think about this until a CM friend of mine pointed it out. For conversation's sake, let's continue to use Space Mountain as our example here. The line itself moves in the early morning, since the cars are loaded and unloaded within the set amount of time. Yes, there's a bit of a wait, but nothing you can't handle--that is, until the Fastpass holders come out of hiding. At that point in time, they have to stop the standby line and let in a varying amount of FP holders so they are convenienced. This holds up the standby line and doesn't solve anything. It causes a backup and the standby line becomes longer than it would be without Fastpass being used at all. Not only that, but there are a limited number of fastpasses avaliable per ride per day before they run out, and if everyone uses them all at once the FP line backs up. The system works only to a certain extent before it backfires completely.
Every ride using this system falls victim to this, and there's nothing we as guests can do other than NOT use FP's unless you have one day to squeeze in every ride you can because your'e never going to come to the park again. Even so, it's Disneyland--the lines are part of the experience. If the standby is under 45 minutes, go for it. An hour is worth it for a must-see like Indy, but that's pushing it, IMO. My thoughts on the matter are that FP's are to be used infrequently if at all if you know you'll be there again soon. Think of your fellow guests--you're basically cutting in front of them with a pass to.
