Latest update June 26th, 2016 12:58 AM
– includes funding for Wartsila project, four-lane East Coast extension
Government has moved to the National Assembly for an additional $6.2B to cover several projects including the 15.6mw Wartsila electricity upgrade project at Kingston and the four-lane highway from Better Hope to Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara.
The Supplementary Provision, tabled by the Ministry of Finance during a sitting of the National Assembly yesterday, will see $20M going to the assistance of Japan for its earthquake recovery efforts; $27M for outstanding payments to workers of the Linden Municipality for the period 1999-2010 and the almost $36M representing subsidies for several Ministry of Agriculture organizations, including to farmers affected by the La Nina conditions.
The Office of the President will be getting $11M for security equipment; the Agri Ministry $510M for procurement of four excavators and drainage works at the Aurora Land Development and assistance for farmers and households affected by recent rains.
In excess of $720M will be also going to the Ministry of Public Works for the rehabilitation of the Cane Grove road, and the highway between Parika and Vreed-en-Hoop in the West Coast Demerara area. Several roads in the city and at Linden are also to be financed from this provision.
Several schools countrywide are also to receive computers and other accessories for their labs to the tune of $280M.
The Minister of Housing and Water has asked for $252M for the improvement of hinterland water supply, and the Ministry of Health has requested $120M for the construction of an inpatient facility at the National Psychiatric Hospital, Canje.

Joe White hit a century as Great & Little Tew bounced back from a disappointing opening-match defeat with a thumping 146-run victory over Oxfordshire rivals Shipton-under-Wychwood.
White shared a second-wicket partnership of 175 with Harry Smith as the visitors secured their first Home Counties Premier League Division 2 win of the season.
But for the hosts, it was a real eye-opener, with only three batsmen making double figures as they were shot out for just 94 in reply to Tew's 240-6.
After inserting the visitors, Shipton got off to a super start when new overseas signing Anupam Sanklecha bowled Jordan Garrett for a duck.
But that was as good as it got.
Smith came to the crease with the score on seven, but when White became the next wicket to fall, the scoreboard read 182-2.
White's century came with ten fours and three sixes before Graham Newhook took the catch off Jason Hunt's bowling to remove the opener.
Smith was next to go, falling for 86, caught by Shaun Cross off George Seacole.
Hunt removed Curtly Slatter, but Seacole was the pick of the bowlers with 3-29 off his eight overs as Tew set a challenging total.
It proved far too tough an ask for Shipton, who started poorly and were never in the hunt.
Matt Woods ripped through the top-order, taking the wickets of Seacole, Simon Hole and Craig Wood as the home side slumped to 23-3.
They had progressed to 39-3, before Sanklecha, Tim Senior and opener Jeremy Kirby all fell without another run added to the total.
Ian Bryan's spin removed Newhook, thanks to an Andy Harris catch, as Shipton fell to 42-7.
Cross and Charlie Brain showed some fight, Cross top-scoring with 24 before he was stumped by Smith – who also took three catches – off the bowling of Matthew Clark with the score on 86.
Hunt followed shortly afterwards, caught by Brock off Clark and, somewhat fittingly, White rounded off a superb performance with the final wicket of Shaun Miller as Tew took bragging rights, and maximum points.

Rumors do miss the mark sometimes. Take that story about Asus ditching Windows Embedded Compact 7 for its 10" Eee Pad. PC World has now gotten fresh details about the Eee Pad product roadmap from Asus' CEO, and as it turns out, the truth is a little different.
Asus CEO Jerry Shen said there will actually be three Eee Pads. The 12", Windows 7-powered Eee Pad EP121 will be out first in December or January; the 10" model is coming in January with Windows Embedded Compact 7 as planned; and a third, cheaper model based Google's Android OS will follow in March. That device will reportedly cost "less than $399," compared to $399-499 for the Windows Embedded device and a hefty $1,000 for the EP121.
Those releases aren't exactly imminent, and according to PC World, Shen doesn't want to rush things. The CEO noted, "If you want to compete with the iPad, you have to do more than just be less expensive. . . . You have to offer more features. We want to spend more time perfecting the [Eee Pad] before we launch. We're looking more at Q1 to launch the devices."
The EP121 admittedly isn't much of an iPad competitor, since it's supposed to run Win7 Home Premium on an Intel Consumer Ultra-Low Voltage platform. We've been told that it might ship with a docking station that transforms the slate into a full-fledged laptop, too. The novelty factor might not justify a $1,000 price tag, but I'd certainly be interested to play with the finished product.

The Flaming Lips
The Flaming Lips And Heady Fwends
Warner Bros.
Jul 04, 2012 Web Exclusive
Is that Ke$ha fondling Wayne Coyne's foot? It certainly is...
The Flaming Lips And Heady Fwends is a collaborative record that is perhaps the most surprising and surprisingly fun album The Flaming Lips have ever released. And that's saying a lot (because, come on, this is The Flaming Lips). It is a dyed-in-the-wool Flaming Lips record—that is to say it's equal parts druggy, heavy, anthemic, melancholic, and funny—while leaving ample room for arguably the most eclectic collection of musicians assembled since "We Are the World," including Bon Iver, Nick Cave, Lightning Bolt, Erykah Badu, and Biz Markie (I know, right?)
Ultimately this album's faults are the ways in which either label or band seems to have underestimated its potential. Its booklet, despite offering some great pics of Mr. Coyne with his guests in the midst of candid (and likely stoned) fun, is easily the blandest and least creative sleeve art ever to accompany The Lips' music. After setting a high bar with their previous releases, it's frankly disappointing to see a booklet with Courier type printed atop streaks of dark grey like a low-rent metal release. The production quality is a bit demo-ish and smeary, and while it's certainly not lo-fi and often contributes positively to the vibe (especially Badu's gorgeous MBV-esque vox on "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"), one can't help but wonder where a little more elbow grease could have taken this material.
That aside, there is much to recommend on ...And Heady Fwends. The opening track, the Doctor Who sampling "2012 (You Must Be Upgraded)," features Ke$ha, Biz Markie, and Hour of the Time Majesty 12 contributing to a track that finds the psych-y stamp of The Lips receiving something akin to the treatment that the title suggests. It's fantastic and reaching stuff that sets you up for a great ride whose highlights include a spirited preacher/barker vocal from Nick Cave on "You, Man? Human???" and "That Ain't My Trip" which features Jim James singing one of the funniest opening lines this writer's ever heard.
If someone had edited or polished this collection more heavily, this could have been not only a top-tier Flaming Lips record but one of the best records of the decade. As it stands, it's still quite a special document and points a direction for the possibilities of a collaborative record when serious creativity comes to the fore. (www.flaminglips.com)

Palestinian president: 'No way' he will recognize Israel as Jewish state
Mohamad Torokman, Associated Press
RAMALLAH, West Bank — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said there is "no way" he will recognize Israel as a Jewish state and accept a Palestinian capital in just a portion of Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem, rebuffing what Palestinians fear will be key elements of a U.S. peace proposal.
Abbas' comments signaled that the gaps between him and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remain wide after seven months of mediation efforts by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.
Abbas, whose remarks were published Friday by the Palestinian news agency WAFA, said he withstood international pressure in the past, when he sought U.N. recognition of a state of Palestine over Washington's objections.
Speaking to youth activists of his Fatah party, he suggested he would stand firm again, particularly over the demand that the Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state.
"They are pressing and saying, 'No peace without the Jewish state,'" he said, though not spelling out who is applying the pressure. "There is no way. We will not accept."
Netanyahu gave interviews to Israeli TV stations, excerpts of which were broadcast Friday night.
"I am ready to proceed, I am ready to reach the end of the conflict, but it must be the end of the conflict," Netanyahu told Channel 10 TV. "We won't allow the establishment of a Palestinian state so that it will continue the conflict, so it needs to recognize the state of the Jews just like they are demanding from us that we recognize the state of the Palestinians."
Netanyahu said Jerusalem will remain under Israeli sovereignty.
Netanyahu has said such recognition is required as proof that the Palestinians are serious about peace. Abbas has noted that the Palestine Liberation Organization recognized the state of Israel in 1993 and said this is sufficient.
Palestinians fear the demand is an Israel attempt to restrict possible return options of Palestinian refugees and the rights of Israel's large Arab minority.
Kerry is expected to present his ideas for the contours of an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal soon, but it appears increasingly unlikely he can get Abbas and Netanyahu to accept such a framework by an April 29 deadline.
Abbas is meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama at the White House on March 17, as part of U.S. efforts to press both sides. Netanyahu met with Obama earlier this week.
The current round of talks began in late July, but was plagued from the start by disagreement between Abbas and Netanyahu on the ground rules. The Palestinians want a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, lands Israel captured in 1967, and said talks about that state should use the 1967 lines as a starting point, a position backed by the U.S. but rejected by Netanyahu.
In previous negotiations with Netanyahu's predecessors, the Palestinians have said that they are willing to accept minor land swaps to enable Israel to keep some of the dozens of Jewish settlements built on occupied land since 1967. Most of the international community deems those settlements illegal under international law.
Netanyahu never presented a detailed border proposal, but said that Israel wants to keep east Jerusalem, maintain a long-term military presence in the West Bank's Jordan Valley and annex unspecified "settlement blocs."
Netanyahu accelerated settlement construction during the talks, with housing starts in settlements more than doubling in 2013, compared to the year before.
He also said the Palestinians must recognize Israel as a Jewish state, a demand that appears to have U.S. support, based on recent speeches by Kerry and Obama.
Abbas said in his speech late Thursday that he would not compromise on a demand for a Palestinian capital in east Jerusalem.
Earlier Thursday, Abbas' aide Mohammed Ishtayeh said he believes the Kerry proposal will only refer to such a capital "in Jerusalem," raising fears the Palestinians will be asked to make do with a small part of the eastern sector.
Abbas did not refer to the possibility of extending the talks.
His aides have said he does not want to be blamed for a collapse of the Kerry mission or accept what the Palestinians would consider a bad framework. In such a situation, accepting an extension might be seen as the lesser evil by the Palestinians.
Abbas reiterated that the Palestinians have options if the negotiations don't lead to a deal. He said he would resume their quest for wider U.N. recognition, a step Israel and the U.S. adamantly oppose and that was suspended for nine months of the negotiations. Abbas said the Palestinians could also continue to resist occupation with demonstrations.
He said he does not want to negotiate for the sake of talking.
"I accept a valuable chance (for an agreement) if there really is a valuable chance, not just talk," he said.

Associated Press
BAY ST. LOUIS -- A truck driver claims his prostitute fiancee suffocated as they celebrated their engagement with a meth and bondage sex party. Then he drove from California to Mississippi with the corpse in the cab of his 18-wheeler and set fire to the truck -- with himself and the body inside.
Mark Andrew Rice pleaded guilty to arson and desecrating a corpse and was sentenced Monday to six years in prison for burning the truck and the body of Natasha Carpenter. Two years of the sentence were suspended for time served.
Rice, 49, was a long-haul truck driver when he met Carpenter at a truck stop in Texas. He fell in love after several encounters along his route and bought her an engagement ring, popping the question Sept. 15, 2009. As part of their celebration in Barstow, Calif., Carpenter agreed to let him bind her arms and legs and put a gag in her mouth as he acted out a fantasy, Rice told police.
When he found her dead, Rice panicked and bought "all the meth his dealer had" and drove to Kiln, Miss., the body in the truck's cab under a tarp, he told police.
"I had been up for days. I was not thinking clearly," Rice said Monday at the plea hearing as his ex-wife covered her face with her hands and their three children leaned forward in their seats.
When he made it to Mississippi, Rice planned to say goodbye to his family and kill himself. His family took a gun away from him so he climbed into the rig and set it ablaze. Deputies eventually pulled him from the burning truck.

- //Ultra Nate
Ultra Nate has enjoyed an especially long career for a dance diva, sustaining for almost two decades on her ability to fuse trendy dance sounds with a bit of an eclectic flavor reminiscent of acts like Grace Jones. She peaked in the late '90s with the hit single "Free", which poured out of radio stations, house parties and gay bars across the country. She's also issued several albums that go above and beyond what's expected of the traditional dance singer. Grime Silk Thunder is her first album in six years and it's a mixed bag, highlighting her strengths and weaknesses in equal amounts. About half the album is completely serviceable (but also completely generic) house music. Her gospel-tinged voice is solid on the entire album, but it shines on the album's best tracks—from the down tempo gospel/jazz/funk of "Feel Love" to a credible cover of the Pointer Sisters' flawless 80s classic "Automatic". The icy-cool electro of "Falling" is another highlight—it's an instrumental and melodic throwback to dance's early '80s glory days.

What the book is about:In this riveting new thriller, Brown returns to his element and has crafted his highest-stakes novel to date.In the heart of Italy, Harvard professor of symbology, Robert Langdon, is drawn into a harrowing world centered on one of history's most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces... Dante's Inferno .Against this backdrop, Langdon battles a chilling adversary and grapples with an ingenious riddle that pulls him into a landscape of classic art, secret passageways, and futuristic science. Drawing from Dante's dark epic poem, Langdon races to find answers and decide whom to trust…before the world is irrevocably altered.Read the extract below (It includes the Prologue and a section of the first chapter):PrologueI am the Shade.Through the dolent city, I flee.Through the eternal woe, I take flight.Along the banks of the river Arno, I scramble, breathless . . . turning left onto Via dei Castellani, making my way northward, huddling in the shadows of the Uffizi.And still they pursue me. Their footsteps grow louder now as they hunt with relentless determination.For years they have pursued me. Their persistence has kept me underground . . . forced me to live in purgatory . . . laboring beneath the earth like a chthonic monster.I am the Shade.Here above ground, I raise my eyes to the north, but I am unable to find a direct path to salvation . . . for the Apennine Mountains are blotting out the first light of dawn.I pass behind the palazzo with its crenellated tower and one-handed clock . . . snaking through the early morning vendors in Piazza di San Firenze with their hoarse voices smelling of lampredotto and roasted olives.Crossing before the Bargello, I cut west toward the spire of the Badia and come up hard against the iron gate at the base of the stairs.Here all hesitation must be left behind. I turn the handle and step into the passage from which I know there will be no return. I urge my leaden legs up the narrow staircase . . . spiraling skyward on soft marble treads, pitted and worn.The voices echo from below. Beseeching. They are behind me, unyielding, closing in.They do not understand what is coming . . . nor what I have done for them!Ungrateful land!As I climb, the visions come hard . . . the lustful bodies writhing in fiery rain, the gluttonous souls floating in excrement, the treacherous villains frozen in Satan's icy grasp.I climb the final stairs and arrive at the top, staggering near dead into the damp morning air. I rush to the head-high wall, peering through the slits. Far below is the blessed city that I have made my sanctuary from those who exiled me.The voices call out, arriving close behind me. 'What you've done is madness!'Madness breeds madness.'For the love of God,' they shout, 'tell us where you've hidden it!'For precisely the love of God, I will not. I stand now, cornered, my back to the cold stone.They stare deep into my clear green eyes, and their expressions darken, no longer cajoling, but threatening.'You know we have our methods. We can force you to tell us where it is.'For that reason, I have climbed halfway to heaven.Without warning, I turn and reach up, curling my fingers onto the high ledge, pulling myself up, scrambling onto my knees, then standing . . . unsteady at the precipice. Guide me, dear Virgil, across the void.They rush forward in disbelief, wanting to grab at my feet, but fearing they will upset my balance and knock me off. They beg now, in quiet desperation, but I have turned my back. I know what I must do.Beneath me, dizzyingly far beneath me, the red tile roofs spread out like a sea of fire on the countryside . . . illuminating the fair land upon which giants once roamed . . . Giotto, Donatello, Brunelleschi, Michelangelo, Botticelli.I inch my toes to the edge.'Come down!' they shout. 'It's not too late!'O, willful ignorants! Do you not see the future? Do you not grasp the splendor of my creation? The necessity?I gladly make this ultimate sacrifice . . . and with it I will extinguish your final hope of finding what you seek.You will never locate it in time.Hundreds of feet below, the cobblestone piazza beckons like a tranquil oasis. How I long for more time . . . but time is the one commodity even my vast fortunes cannot afford.In these final seconds, I gaze down to the piazza, and I behold a sight that startles me.I see your face.You are gazing up at me from the shadows. Your eyes are mournful, and yet in them I sense a veneration for what I have accomplished. You understand I have no choice. For the love of Mankind, I must protect my masterpiece. It grows even now . . . waiting . . . simmering beneath the blood red waters of the lagoon that reflects no stars.And so, I lift my eyes from yours and I contemplate the horizon. High above this burdened world, I make my final supplication.Dearest God, I pray the world remembers my name not as a monstrous sinner, but as the glorious savior you know I truly am. I pray Mankind will understand the gift I leave behind.My gift is the future.My gift is salvation.My gift is Inferno.With that, I whisper my amen . . . and take my final step, into the abyss.Chapter 1The memories materialized slowly . . . like bubbles surfacing from the darkness of a bottomless well.A veiled woman.Robert Langdon gazed at her across a river whose churning waters ran red with blood.On the far bank, the woman stood facing him, motionless, solemn, her face hidden by a shroud. In her hand she gripped a blue tainia cloth, which she now raised in honor of the sea of corpses at her feet. The smell of death hung everywhere.Seek, the woman whispered. And ye shall find. Langdon heard the words as if she had spoken them inside his head. 'Who are you?' he called out, but his voice made no sound.Time grows short, she whispered. Seek and find.Langdon took a step toward the river, but he could see the waters were bloodred and too deep to traverse. When Langdon raised his eyes again to the veiled woman, the bodies at her feet had multiplied.There were hundreds of them now, maybe thousands, some still alive, writhing in agony, dying unthinkable deaths . . . consumed by fire, buried in feces, devouring one another. He could hear the mournful cries of human suffering echoing across the water.The woman moved toward him, holding out her slender hands, as if beckoning for help.'Who are you?!' Langdon again shouted. In response, the woman reached up and slowly lifted the veil from her face.She was strikingly beautiful, and yet older than Langdon had imagined—in her sixties perhaps, stately and strong, like a timeless statue. She had a sternly set jaw, deep soulful eyes, and long, silver-gray hair that cascaded over her shoulders in ringlets.An amulet of lapis lazuli hung around her neck—a single snake coiled around a staff.Langdon sensed he knew her . . . trusted her. But how? Why?She pointed now to a writhing pair of legs, which protruded upside down from the earth, apparently belonging to some poor soul who had been buried headfirst to his waist. The man's pale thigh bore a single letter—written in mud—R.R? Langdon thought, uncertain. As in . . . Robert? 'Is that . . . me?'The woman's face revealed nothing. Seek and find, she repeated.Without warning, she began radiating a white light . . . brighter and brighter. Her entire body started vibrating intensely, and then, in a rush of thunder, she exploded into a thousand splintering shards of light.Featured with permission from Random House Struik, this extract is taken from Inferno by Dan Brown and is published by Bantam Press, an imprint of Transworld Publishers.For more information about the book, you can visit Random House Struik's website.Visit Kalahari.com to purchase a copy of Inferno.Follow Women24 on Twitter and like us on Facebook.

The movie trailer for The Girl with All the Gifts, a forthcoming book-to-film adaptation has just been released and the cast is surprising to say the least.
Why, oh why do authors insist on giving their book characters names that are either a) dumb or b) hard to pronounce?

A man reportedly was stabbed by two assailants late Tuesday at Clement Park, according to the Jeffco sheriff's Twitter feed.
The victim was taken to a local hospital. His attackers, who were wearing bandanas to cover their faces, fled in a dark blue Subaru sedan, the Sheriff's Office said.
The incident occurred about 10 p.m.

Little League Baseball draws the lion's share of publicity, capped by its nationally televised World Series in Williamsport, Pa. But baseball purists might prefer tournaments under the auspice of the United States Specialty Sports Association, of which the Dakota Ridge Sports Association's youth teams are a member.
The Foothills Park & Recreation District will host the annual Red, White & You event July 1 at Clement Park, with an expected attendance of 50,000 throughout the park.
Regina Smith, Foothills' arts and events supervisor, said this year's event will have more amenities, more vendors and booths, and likely more attendees. She says the district expects 20,000 people will be in the immediate event area.
Paul Lowe is a youth pastor and one who devotes himself to helping kids learn how best to serve God. He's also a football coach, but, unfortunately, Denver Christian didn't have a team after it suspended its program prior to the 2014 season.
But when Front Range Christian unexpectedly had an opening, it was a perfect match for the two to come together.
A tie vote by the board of the Foothills Park & Recreation District has at least temporarily derailed a plan to add a BMX bicycle track at the Schaefer Athletic Complex.
The 2-2 vote with one abstention means a licensing agreement with Mile High BMX, a Lakewood nonprofit that wants to build the track, will expire at the end of the year without further action. Despite changes in the agreement made to address neighbors' concerns that include adequate parking and noise and light pollution, the motion to renew the pact failed.
The Parker mother of three who was paddleboarding at Chatfield Reservoir on Friday when a sudden storm hit has died.
Dr. Hope Cassel, 45, was found unresponsive in the water near the Chatfield swim beach after the storm, according to Jeffco sheriff's spokesman Mark Techmeyer. Cassel had been on a paddleboard outing with her three sons and one of their friends when high winds, hail and lightning hit the area about 1 p.m.
About 30 handguns were stolen early Tuesday from a gun shop in a strip mall on West Bowles Avenue, and another gun store to the east in Littleton was burglarized the next day.
Sheriff's spokesman Mark Techmeyer confirmed burglars tripped a silent alarm at Colorado Gun Broker, 8966 W. Bowles Ave., at 3:45 a.m. Tuesday. Deputies reportedly arrived within five minutes, but the perpetrators were gone.
Techmeyer said the gun store's surveillance cameras weren't operating during the break-in, but other cameras in the strip mall were being checked.
A Harris's hawk flew above a packed house from one handler to another Sunday at the second annual Father's Day Falcon Fest at the Audubon Nature Center at Chatfield State Park. Dads, moms and their kids watched in awe as five birds of prey were presented by the founder of HawkQuest, Kin Quitugua.
Jeffco students are largely outperforming national averages when it comes to reading and math, but semester-to-semester growth is lacking.
According to the Jeffco school district's presentation of its year-long Measures of Academic Progress, student scores in math and reading improved over the last year, with about 60 percent of all students in grades three through 10 scoring in the high-average or above-average range for math and reading.
In an effort to fund its facilities master plan and other initiatives, the Jeffco school board decided last Thursday to put a bond issue of up to $535 million on the November ballot, as well as pursue a property-tax increase of between 3.69 and 4.31 mills.

Graphene can be made magnetic, scientists find
Researchers use electron-beam lithography to microfabricate graphene devices
Scientists have shown that graphene can be made magnetic which could have important applications in electronics.
In a report published in Nature Physics, University of Manchester researchers demonstrated that graphene, the world's thinnest and strongest material, can be given magnetic properties.
The researchers, led by Dr Irina Grigorieva and Professor Sir Andre Geim, took nonmagnetic graphene and then either 'peppered' it with other nonmagnetic atoms like fluorine or removed some carbon atoms from the chicken wire.
The empty spaces, called vacancies, and added atoms all turned out to be magnetic, exactly like atoms of, for example, iron.
"It is like minus multiplied by minus gives you plus," said Dr Irina Grigorieva, adding that the research could prove important for potential applications of graphene in electronics.
Graphene is a sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a chicken wire structure.
In its pristine state, it exhibits no signs of the conventional magnetism usually associated with such materials as iron or nickel.
Demonstrating its remarkable properties won Manchester researchers the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010.
The researchers found that, to behave as magnetic atoms, defects must be far away from each other and their concentration should be low.
If many defects are added to graphene, they reside too close and cancel each other's magnetism.
In the case of vacancies, their high concentration makes graphene disintegrate.
"The observed magnetism is tiny, and even the most magnetized graphene samples would not stick to your fridge," said Professor Geim, one of the Nobel prize recipients, adding that the area of magnetism in nonmagnetic materials has previously had many false positives.
"The most likely use of the found phenomenon is in spintronics. Spintronics devices are pervasive, most notably they can be found in computers' hard disks.
"They function due to coupling of magnetism and electric current."

The IMF cut its global growth forecast on Tuesday for the second time since April and warned US and European policymakers that failure to fix their economic ills would prolong the slump.
Global growth is too weak to bring down unemployment and what little momentum exists is coming primarily from central banks, the International Monetary Fund said in its World Economic Outlook, released ahead of its twice-yearly meeting, which will be held in Tokyo later this week.
"A key issue is whether the global economy is just hitting another bout of turbulence in what was always expected to be a slow and bumpy recovery or whether the current slowdown has a more lasting component," it said.
"The answer depends on whether European and US policymakers deal proactively with their major short-term economic challenges."
For 2012, the IMF now expects global output to grow just 3.3 per cent, down from its July estimate of 3.5 per cent, making it the slowest year of growth since 2009. It predicted only a modest pickup next year to 3.6 per cent, below its July estimate of 3.9 per cent.
Emerging markets are still expected to grow four times as fast as advanced economies, but the IMF took a sharp knife to its estimates for India and Brazil, with the latter now seen growing slower than the United States this year.
The IMF said "familiar" forces were dragging down advanced economy growth: fiscal consolidation and a still-weak financial system, the same problems that have plagued the world since the global financial crisis exploded in 2008.
"More seems to be at work, however, than these mechanical forces - namely, a general feeling of uncertainty," IMF chief economist Olivier Blanchard said.
Measures of risk and uncertainty, such as the VIX volatility gauge in the United States, remain at low levels, Blanchard pointed out, which makes it difficult to assess the nature of the uncertainty. Blanchard described it as "more Knightian in nature", referring to a term for risk that is impossible to measure, named after economist Frank Knight.
"Worries about the ability of European policymakers to control the euro crisis and worries about the failure to date of US policymakers to agree on a fiscal plan surely play an important role, but one that is hard to nail down," Blanchard said.
The IMF said financial conditions are likely to remain "very fragile" over the near term because repairing euro zone problems will take time and there are concerns about how the US economy will cope with the expected expiry of tax cuts early next year.
For the United States, the IMF said its "urgent policy priorities" should include avoiding a so-called "fiscal cliff" from the expected tax increases and spending cuts, raising the government borrowing limit, and agreeing on a credible plan to reduce the deficit.
It said the fiscal cliff at the extreme would amount to a fiscal withdrawal of more than 4 per cent of GDP in 2013, and economic growth would stall.
In the euro area, it said resolving the crisis was the highest priority, and that would require progress toward banking and fiscal union.
"If uncertainty is indeed behind the current slowdown, and if the adoption and implementation of these measures decrease uncertainty, things may turn out better than our forecasts, not only in Europe, but also for the rest of the world," Blanchard said.
"I, for once, would be happy if our baseline forecasts turn out to be inaccurate - in this case, too pessimistic."
