GOVT-508 Informal Economic Institutions
Fall for 2017-2018
Blat', Guanxi, Wasta and Jeito are forms of informal exchange found in Russia, China, the Arab world and Brazil. They are sometimes criticized as corrupt, but are recognized by many economists as providing crucial "grease" that makes the economic system work.
These informal systems are perceived as unique in each of the cultural settings where they prevail, yet all societies have patterns of informal relationships that help the system to function. The course will explore similarities and differences in these relationships across a range of countries.
Students will read and discuss material on five cases: Russia, China, the Arab world, and Brazil, along with one example from the U.S. In addition, each student will write a case study focusing on informal relationships in a country/culture/subculture of his/her choice.

Pitt vs. Wake Forest, ACC Tournament, March 13, 2014
Pitt 84, Wake Forest 55
PITT COACH Jamie Dixon, Lamar Patterson, Talib Zanna
Q. Coach, Devin Thomas had a great game yesterday. How were you guys able to slow him down? Looked like your length really bothered him.
COACH DIXON: We were really concerned about him. Him and Williams were the guys we were really focused on, and Thomas was a guy we wanted to double-team. Obviously, we came out, we were aggressive. And we wanted to keep the ball out of his hands, but when he did get it, make it tough for him to play. And I thought a big double-team early when we got the steal, took it from him on the double-team was key. He's a very good player, very physical player, tough player, but I thought we did some good things to take him away from it, and I thought our defense was good on him for the most part.
Q. Lamar, could you talk -- Talib got off to a real good start today. How does that change your team when he's playing like that? How does it change what you guys are able to do?
Lamar Patterson: That's what we want to do, we want to get him going. It's our game plan every game. He's a big factor in what we want to do every game, defensively and offensively. He got off to a great start. He's a leader, he's a senior, and when you see him going, it just gets the ball rolling. Everything was clicking.
Q. Talib, what does a game like this do for you guys to get you rolling headed into the rest of the tournament?
Talib Zanna: You know, just get -- like he said, they come out focused and ready. They really get us ready for this game, and we were really prepared and focused. I think from the freshmen to the seniors, everybody was into it. The energy, you can see the energy on the bench and everybody was really ready to go.
Q. Lamar, for you guys that have played so many close games, what does it do for you having a 29-point win?
Lamar Patterson: It feels good. We won convincingly. We were able to get some of the guys who haven't played that much in there, and it gave some of the guys who usually do play a rest at the end of the game. It was good. That's how we want to win every game, but it's not possible in basketball. We'll just take this and take the momentum and get ready for tomorrow.
Q. Jamie, you guys got a bunch of offensive rebounds real early in the game and turned them into baskets. Did that sort of set the tone for the way that you were able to play the rest of the game?
COACH DIXON: We've made it very clear we've got to out-rebound people, and we've got to have good offense to get offensive rebound opportunities, so I thought we ran good offense, good sets against the zone and got good looks. I thought Talib was really good passing out of the high post area, got us some good looks. And the shots we did miss, we knew they were going up, and we were able to get to that weak side and offensive rebounding position. I just think really we moved the ball well. I was amazed at halftime at our field goal percentage was 48 percent, and I felt, like, since we'd taken all good shots, it would have been higher than that. But we had missed open shots, but that allowed us to get offensive rebounds. But our execution I thought was very good. Our unselfishness was evident from the start until the finish, and that allowed us to get the 14 offensive rebounds, especially the bunch early.
Q. Lamar, in the second half, your scoring really helped propel the lead into the 20s and keep it there. Coming out of halftime, what did you want to do to continue how you came into the half and then get out ahead for good?
Lamar Patterson: We just wanted to play our game, take the open shots, move the ball. I was on the other hand of getting the easy looks and knocking them down. And it was a good way to start the half for the team, and we did what we were supposed to do, held onto the lead and got the W.
Q. Can you guys talk about whether you felt like this was back to playing the way that you had prior to the injuries and the things that bothered this team in mid-season? Did you feel like you guys were back to playing the way that you had early in the season and the way you started ACC play?
Lamar Patterson: It was a good win. Yeah, I guess you could say that a little bit. But like Coach said, everyone is healthy, everyone is ready to go. We're dialed in. Today was just a sign of that. We've got to just bring the same energy and same effort tomorrow, and then we'll see how it goes.
Talib Zanna: You know, we came out, me and Lamar -- middle of the season, Lamar was kind of hurt. I was hurt from my ankle and his wrist, and I think we're 100 percent right now. We're ready to go. We've just got to come out ready for tomorrow and get the win.
Q. Coach, when you were talking about road wins and neutral site wins, that's kind of Selection Sunday talk. Do you have a real concern that your résumé is not getting the respect it deserves?
COACH DIXON: Not really. I mean, we've done what -- obviously 24 wins and now a tournament win. I guess the message I was giving to our players is how well we have played on the road, and now we're going to be playing on the road the rest of the way in our minds. So that's what we've turned it into. We've won close games on the road, which is what you're going to need to do in this tournament play. And that's really been our message going forward here. We've won a lot of close games. We've beat good teams on the road in neutral court situations, too, so -- and I think it's a combination of we felt confident, we've played well on the road. But we had some home games where guys weren't healthy and weren't playing their best, and we obviously played through it, didn't play as well, but now we are.
Q. Speaking of tournament résumé, do you feel like today was a must-win game in that situation, and do you feel like tomorrow is a game you have to win to get into the tournament, or is it more just a matter of are you focusing strictly on the ACC?
COACH DIXON: Yeah, we're just trying to win every game like we always have. We've obviously done a lot of things. 24 wins and now a 12th win in the ACC. I think that goes without saying. Our thing is we're playing our best basketball. We've got to be playing -- we're healthy now, we're playing -- I don't got a guy sitting here with a taped hand shooting jump shots, and that's never -- a right hand taped is never a good thing, and Talib is now jumping and finishing better. We're playing our best basketball right now, and that's our feeling. Our practice has showed that the last three days. We had three guys that had very good practices, and everybody was out there. We hadn't had that. We were practicing without our guys, without these two guys, and it caught up to us. Now we're back to where we were, and it's evident by our wins. We lost to good teams, too, at the same time. We lost to good teams in some close games.
Q. This is obviously a new experience for Pitt as an ACC Tournament participant. I don't know how much you see beyond the game itself, but you had a lot of fans here. They were loud, they were proud. Do you have a sense of how your travelling, the excitement level compared to what you were used to in the Big East among Panther Nation?
COACH DIXON: I think in a lot of ways this is going to grow for us, and I think people are going to be sometimes surprised. I think we've seen it already in games we've played on the road, whether it be at NC State or down in Maryland. But we have a lot of Pitt people throughout the Southeast region, and we've known that, and we've seen that. And our demand for tickets for the ACC, I think, went beyond what we had in the Big East prior to. I think it's hard to get to that Thursday game at noon or 2:00, but I think you're going to see -- because of a lot of Pittsburgh people moving south to the southeast, we've seen a lot of fans and a lot of interest. It's different, there's no question. You've got different fans, I think, than the regular fans. I don't have as many family members, so it's different in that regard. But I think we're going to have the same numbers and maybe more when it's all said and done, and once we've figured out the routine.
Q. What do you remember about the first North Carolina game, and what will you need to do differently tomorrow?
Lamar Patterson: What I remember is we just weren't as effective as we should have been. We had a lot of early foul trouble in the first half, slowed us down a little bit. But I just think that that game is going to be a nice rematch to get back out there and play against them again. It should be exciting.
COACH DIXON: I remember we lost. That's what I remember. I think we're a better team now than we were. Guys were struggling at that point. I think we're a better team, and we need to show it. But it's easy to say: We've got to go do something about it, and we've got to play well. They're good, very good, and they're playing well, as well.
COACH BZDELIK: Give Pittsburgh a lot of credit; they hit us right between the eyes, and we were on our heels throughout the entire game. We had some shots early on that fell for us yesterday and didn't fall for us today. And there was separation because of the fact we couldn't keep them off the boards, and tried a variety of defenses. We just couldn't keep them from getting to the paint. I think they had 27 points on lay-ups in the first half, and we never recovered.
Q. Jeff, did you see the energy today that maybe you guys had yesterday and just how a bad start can have a domino effect a little bit?
COACH BZDELIK: Yeah, we were always on our heels. All we did was discuss rebounding, and that was the No. 1 key. And I think they had, what, three offensive rebounds in the first three or four minutes after we got stops. I knew we'd have some match-up problems defensively, so we went with the zone. It was effective against Duke, and it just -- we just couldn't stop them, to be honest with you. And then the inability to make some shots and to score, we just lost some confidence, and we've been fragile with that throughout the course of the year at times. You got the score you got.
Q. How do you foresee this next couple of weeks going? Will you meet with Ron? Will you guys talk?
COACH BZDELIK: I'm just going to answer questions about the game.
Q. Jeff, after the way you talked about Travis yesterday and how much he's meant to this program over the last four years, how disappointing is it -- or frustrating is it -- to see him go out with a game like he had tonight?
COACH BZDELIK: Yeah, I'm sure Travis had a lot of emotion, and you know, he had some good looks, didn't go down. And, yeah, we have to remember these are young people that care deeply, and we went from a very emotional high last night, yesterday, to a frustrating, so to speak, day today. They're young people who care deeply, and, hey, it's tough when you're out there and things aren't going well for you to battle through it. Yeah, it's tough for Travis to have a game like this at this point.
Q. Jeff, was this Travis's and Coron's last game at Wake Forest, and would you entertain the notion of a CBI invitation?
COACH BZDELIK: That's for the administration. Our only focus really was today, this game. We had intentions to win it, and to not even think about a CBI, for example. Now, what the administration's feel is about that, I don't know, I haven't discussed that with anybody.
Q. Coach, we saw Pat Riley in attendance today. You had a couple stops with him in your career. Was he here as a byproduct of his friendship with you or was he here by chance?
COACH BZDELIK: I didn't know he was here, and I'm sad that he was here to see that. (Smiling).
Q. If you had a chance to play again, would you like to play a postseason game?
COACH BZDELIK: We certainly don't want to go out like this.
Q. Coron, what made things so difficult for y'all to find shots today? What were they doing defensively to really deny you guys good looks?
CORON WILLIAMS: I know from me, at times they were denying me, and when I came off screens, you know, the guys were hedging real hard, so it was tough for me to get good looks. But Travis had a couple open looks. He wasn't able to finish those, and that's all we can ask for is just good, open looks. You know, I'm not going to be able every game to come out and have as many open looks as I did yesterday, and other guys just have to step up.
Q. Coron, it looked like, at the end of the first half, both you and Codi were able to get to the basket a little bit. What happened there, and why wasn't that as effective in the second half?
CORON WILLIAMS: Well, they had a few breakdowns, and I found myself a few gaps that I could get through, and Codi, he's great in transition, and he's a driver, and he was able to get in the lane and finish like he usually does. You know, we just took advantage of their breakdowns.

I can hardly help laughing at this myself; for, Se non e vero, ben trovato!
Of this it must be admitted, that "se non e vero, e ben trovato."
To my amazement, the odd old fish across from me boomed out with equal violence: "ben trovato!"
That story, ben trovato but not vero, rests on a forgery by the Regent!
I think this is non ver e ben trovato, as I have no recollection of it.
Such is the story as it is told, and I can only add, that si non vero, ben trovato.
For him a ben trovato was as good matter as a truth, or better.
The Englishman got up and shook hands with the Swede: si non vero, said he, ben trovato.
Se non vero, ben trovato—If it is not true, it is cleverly invented.
"Se non vero ben trovato," is his motto, and in his heart the sensation-monger—of whatsoever age—rather hopes the thing be true.

Feb. 21, 2004
By PAUL NEWBERRY
AP Sports Writer
ATHENS, Ga. - Rashad Wright scored 22 points and Georgia avenged a 24-point loss last month, winning its third straight with a 71-60 victory over Tennessee on Saturday.
The Bulldogs (14-10, 6-7 Southeastern Conference) kept alive their improbable hopes of making the NCAA tournament with only seven scholarship players in what was supposed to be a rebuilding season under first-year coach Dennis Felton.
Tennessee (13-10, 5-7) saw its postseason hopes suffer a major blow, though this game followed a familiar script. The Volunteers, who beat Georgia 89-65 at home in early January, dropped to 0-6 in SEC games outside of Knoxville.
Wright, the Bulldogs' senior point guard, had another big game after an 18-point performance against Florida on Tuesday night. As usual, he was at his best late in the game, hitting a couple of crucial 3-pointers.
After Tennessee pulled to 51-50 on Scooter McFadgon's three-point play, Wright buried a trey to give the Bulldogs some breathing room. He finished off the Vols with another 3, swishing one from the left wing to put his team up 61-51 with 2:42 remaining. Wright smiled to the Georgia faithful as he headed up court.
Wright hit 4-of-7 outside the arc. Damien Wilkins added 18 points, while Jonas Hayes chipped in with 16.
Tennessee fell apart during Georgia's 10-0 run. The Vols failed to touch the rim on four straight possessions, throwing it away three times before McFadgon put up an airball.
The only consolation for the Vols: The 11-point loss was their best effort yet in an SEC road game. Brandon Crump led with 18 points, but he wasn't very effective after picking up his fourth foul with more than 10 minutes remaining. McFadgon was held to 13 points on 5-of-16 shooting. C.J. Watson managed only 4 points, missing all eight of his shots from the field.
Hayes hit an 18-foot jumper at the buzzer to end the first half, sending the Bulldogs to the locker room with a 31-29 lead. They never trailed in the second half, steadfastly guarding their advantage with the style that suits them best: tough and physical on defense, deliberate on offense.
Things got really testy late in the first half when Georgia's Levi Stukes stole the ball and was going in for a layup, only to get hit hard by McFadgon while going up. An intentional foul was called, then Georgia's Marcus Sikes jumped into the fray, throwing the ball at McFadgon, then shoving Dane Bradshaw. Jemere Hendrix confronted Sikes, but the officials stepped in before a full-scale brawl erupted.
After sorting things out with the help on television replays, the refs
assessed two technical fouls on Tennessee and one on the Bulldogs.

New Straight Black Hair Styles
View new straight black hairstyles in this slideshow if you want to opt to relax your hair chemically to be able to wear the wear the new styles.
Sorry, we are updating this gallery to be compatible with the new browsers in IE and FireFox
These chemical relaxers can be made with either lye or no lye and women are given the option of doing their hair at home or visiting a salon.
These hair relaxing chemicals, sodium, lithium or guanidine hydroxide, break the disulfide bonds of the hair strands to straighten the tightly coiled hair.
The downside to chemically straightening your locks is that it does leave the hair delicate and prone to dryness and breakage.
When you have your hair relaxed, it is vital that you condition it on a weekly basis and avoid using heated hair tools such as curling irons and blow dryers as much as possible.
You should never combine a chemical relaxer with a permanent hair dye, nor should you have your hair retreated too often.
Women frequently make the mistake of getting touch ups every four to eight weeks, however, to keep damage to a minimum, touch-ups should only be done every 10 to 12 weeks in the winter and every seven to eight weeks in summertime. This will leave your hair far healthier.
If you would rather not use a chemical to relax your hair, hot combs and curling irons are another option available to straighten Afro-American hair. Keep in mind though that using hot combs and curling irons can still damage your hair and scalp if they are not used properly.
New Straight Black Hair Styles Styling Tips
Hair tools become very hot as do the hair oil and pomade used to straighten the hair. These high temperatures can cause the hair to break and become damaged. Also, if the oil touches the scalp, you can suffer burns or hair loss.
To prevent damaging your hair, the temperature of the hot comb and curling iron should not be too high. If your stylist uses an oven to heat the comb or curling iron ask that she keeps the time in the oven to a minimum and that the tool is allowed to cool slightly before it touches your tresses.
The advantage of using an electric comb is that they typically comb with adjustable heat settings. If your hair is very curly, instead of attempting to go stick straight, which can leave your hair dry, brittle and damaged; you may want to think about relaxing your hair instead. If you opt to relax your locks instead of straightening, you can always use styling tools to achieve the look you desire.
After removing any extensions wait at least a few weeks before you straighten your hair. This is to prevent as much damage as possible. You should also indulge your locks in a few deep-conditioning sessions with a product such as Restorative Hair Treatment by Ojon.
If you straighten your hair yourself, use a gentle product. A large number of straighteners that are made for Afro-American hair are too severe. Make sure that you do no repeat the processing more than once every three months.

/// AFM: Hong Kong Thrillers and Action Supplant Chopsocky
November 7, 2013 | Variety
The Hong Kong slate is heavier on contempo action and crime thrillers and perhaps less full of martial arts than at some recent editions of AFM. That is probably a reflection of the genres of films that Hong Kong filmmakers can produce where they still have an edge over their mainland Chinese counterparts. Typifying this… Read more

Predictive Sentencing of 16-18 Year Old Male Habitual Traffic Offenders, 1969-1975: [Oklahoma] (ICPSR 8508)
Principal Investigator(s): Whinery, Leo H., et al.
The purpose of this study was to test the way in which different treatment modalities for teenage traffic offenders affected sentencing for subsequent traffic violations. The principal investigators focused on three things: psychological motivation or investment of emotional or psychic energy which motivates offenders to violate the law, cognitive knowledge or lack of knowledge relevant to law violation, and values relevant to a person's concern for compliance with the law. Information was collected on the personality, family, and social traits of the offenders and a control group. School, court, and police records were also reviewed. Data are provided on different treatments in terms of traffic recidivism, accident involvement, and non-traffic recidivism.

Effective June 1, boaters in Vineyard Haven waterways will be restricted to three days on an anchor. The Tisbury selectmen unanimously voted to approve an amendment to the town anchoring regulations after a public hearing Tuesday.
Ten sailboats participated in last Saturday's 25th annual Pat West Gaff Rig and Schooner Race. The race from the outer Vineyard Haven harbor to Tarpaulin Cove and back began at 11 a.m. in light and variable winds. Zoli Clarke and Ryan Payne of Vineyard Haven sailed the Gannon and Benjamin Hazel 18 to victory.
Of the 10 boats, six were schooners. The Soros/DiBiaso team won the schooner class in their 65-foot Gannon and Benjamin schooner Juno.
Running Free, a 36-and-a-half foot sailboat that ran aground at Norton Point beach on Friday, was still languishing on the beach Wednesday morning after salvage and refloating efforts failed. Meanwhile, visitors to the site were reported to be stripping the boat of its contents.
Early season boaters will be able to fuel up at the Edgartown harbor this summer, despite concerns before the selectmen this week that the fuel station would be closed.
Harbor master Charlie Blair said Monday that there would not be fuel for Memorial Day weekend because equipment at the Edgartown Marine harbor fuel dock, which is operated by R.M. Packer, needed to be upgraded before the dock opens.
Town administrator Pamela Dolby said Wednesday that fuel will be available, with repairs scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday and permits expected to be issued on Friday.

Fisking Anonymous
Senior intelligence official tells all. Jolly good show!
HALLITES . Trust the Brits to be involved when there's some really good cloak and dagger work underway. The same people who brought us Kim Philby and David "Squarehead" Cornwell are breaking the news that an unnamed senior intelligence official is getting ready to expose the deep love bin Laden has for the Bush administration. You can read the full piece here, which might be wise, because we're going to tackle it a sentence or two at a time. And yeah, we know we're not intelligence experts, whatever that means anymore, but we do possess a modicum of logic and common sense. Let's see how those two homely attributes stack up against what passes for intelligence these days.
Bush told he is playing into Bin Laden's hands
Al-Qaida may 'reward' American president with strike aimed at keeping him in office, senior intelligence man says
Julian Borger in Washington
Saturday June 19, 2004
The Guardian
A senior US intelligence official is about to publish a bitter condemnation of America's counter-terrorism policy, arguing that the west is losing the war against al-Qaida and that an "avaricious, premeditated, unprovoked" war in Iraq has played into Osama bin Laden's hands.
Wow. This has got it all. A provocative headline, a downright inflammatory subhead, a mysterious highly placed source, and a vitriolic quote -- all in the first few lines. Should we wait or just sail in right away? Well, you know us. Avaricious, huh? The Bushies couldn't wait to reap the bonanza of a $100 billion war expense, a $70 billion rebuilding effort, and a quick handover of Iraqi oil revenue to the provisional government. We've seen infomercials on late-night TV that looked more promising than this particular formula for enrichment. Premeditated? We hope so. Somehow invasions don't belong to that category of festivity that seem best done as a spontaneous lark. Unprovoked? Right. Twelve years of defiance, U.S. planes shot at in the no-fly zones... who could be provoked by that? Certainly not the old 'intelligence' hands who refused to be provoked by the World Trade Center bombing (1993), the Khobar Towers, Riyadh, the embassy bombings, the U.S.S. Cole, et al. Whatever else you want to say about them, those boys don't provoke easily.
Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing
the War on Terror, due out next month, dismisses two of the most
frequent boasts of the Bush administration: that Bin Laden and al-Qaida
are "on the run" and that the Iraq invasion has made America safer.
Funny. Just the other day on Drudge, the Financial Times was
reporting that Gitmo interrogations had turned up the interesting
fact that Mullah Omar wasn't too gung-ho about the 9/11 attack.
Seems he was afraid the Americans might do something military in
Afghanistan afterwards. The genius bin Laden told him not to worry, the
Taliban was safe. But now we learn that bin Laden actually prefers it
this way; he must find it especially inspiring to have big chunks of
his leadership captured or assassinated. In fact, that's how you make
his day. Another dead colleague, another divine inspiration. As for
whether America is safer or not, let's just say that it's become
clearer all the time that the American intelligence apparatus may not
be the best judge of that. We know this gypsy who divines the future
from the grounds at the bottom of your Starbucks cup. Maybe we should
ask her.
In an interview with the Guardian the
official, who writes as "Anonymous", described al-Qaida as a much more
proficient and focused organization than it was in 2001, and predicted
that it would "inevitably" acquire weapons of mass destruction and try
to use them.
We're always much surer of ourselves, too, when we write as
'Anonymous.' Amazing how it reduces the blood pressure to know you can
say anything without fear of direct retort and personal challenges.
(Note the tagline we're using for this piece. Cool, huh.) One could
point out that a real good way to become more focused is to be the
target of a continuous international manhunt. That would sharpen our
concentration wonderfully well. How about you? What else? Oh. The dire
prediction. Imagine you were a 'senior intelligence official' who had
participated in the Keystone Kops pursuit of terrorists and WMDs over
the past ten years. How hard would it be to make this particular
prediction? Or to put it another way, how hard would it be to avoid
making this prediction? Color us impressed.
He said Bin Laden was probably
"comfortable" commanding his organization from the mountainous tribal
lands along the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
He would know this how? Of course, you'll have to pardon us for
being a bit skeptical when a high-level spook uses the word 'probably.'
The Pakistani army claimed a big success in the "war against terror" yesterday with the killing of a tribal leader, Nek Mohammed, who was one of al-Qaida's protectors in Waziristan.
But Anonymous, who has been centrally
involved in the hunt for Bin Laden, said: "Nek Mohammed is one guy in
one small area. We sometimes forget how big the tribal areas are." He
believes President Pervez Musharraf cannot advance much further into
the tribal areas without endangering his rule by provoking a Pashtun
revolt. "He walks a very fine line," he said yesterday.
You see, we can place great confidence in the words of Anonymous
because he has been "centrally involved in the hunt for bin Laden." And
Scotland Yard was centrally involved in the hunt for Jack the Ripper.
Maybe it takes a Brit to believe that failure is a good credential for
Imperial Hubris is the latest in a
relentless stream of books attacking the administration in election
year. Most of the earlier ones, however, were written by embittered
former officials. This one is unprecedented in being the work of a
serving official with nearly 20 years experience in counter-terrorism
who is still part of the intelligence establishment.
He's still part of the
intelligence establishment. Great. If you were part of a huge
establishment that kept falling on its ass in critical situations in
public, would you feel any incentive to tell the world that your
screw-ups were somebody -- anybody -- else's fault, and you just
couldn't be held accountable for anything that has happened, is
happening, or will happen? Does anybody else feel like it's time to
fire a few of the sorry so-called expert asses that are warming the
plush chairs of the intelligence establishment?
The fact that he has been allowed to
publish, albeit anonymously and without naming which agency he works
for, may reflect the increasing frustration of senior intelligence
officials at the course the administration has taken.
Or it may reflect the increasing fear of senior intelligence
officials that sooner or later, even they will be exposed and reviled
for their incompetence. Can you spell P-E-N-S-I-O-N?
Peter Bergen, the author of two books on
Bin Laden and al-Qaida, said: "His views represent an amped-up version
of what is emerging as a consensus among intelligence counter-terrorist
What a potent mouthful: "a consensus among intelligence counter-terrorist professionals." If we're allowed to consult the record on this, we might be excused for preferring a consensus of the 1962 New York Mets.
Anonymous does not try to veil his
contempt for the Bush White House and its policies. His book describes
the Iraq invasion as "an avaricious, premeditated, unprovoked war
against a foe who posed no immediate threat but whose defeat did offer
economic advantage.
We're still waiting to hear about the economic advantage. Lifelong
Washington bureaucrats are always the most insightful people about how
economics work, we know, but a shred of fact might be helpful in
enabling us proles to understand. As a footnote, we'd be more
respectful of Anonymous's refusal to veil his contempt if he weren't so
thoroughly veiled himself.
"Our choice of timing, moreover, shows an
abject, even willful failure to recognize the ideological power,
lethality and growth potential of the threat personified by Bin Laden,
as well as the impetus that threat has been given by the US-led
invasion and occupation of Muslim Iraq."
Another big mouthful. However, if we were looking for a great example of "abject, even willful failure to recognize the ideological power, lethality and growth potential of the threat personified by Bin Laden," we probably wouldn't pick the first administration that dared to overturn the status quo in confronting and seeking to kill Islamofascist terrorists. We might light instead on the senior officials who twiddled their thumbs while bin Laden was moving from attack to attack with utter impunity from the intelligence and law enforcement establishments, not to mention the blind eye of Reno, Gore, and Clinton.
In his view, the US missed its biggest
chance to capture the al-Qaida leader at Tora Bora in the Afghan
mountains in December 2001. Instead of sending large numbers of his own
troops, General Tommy Franks relied on surrogates who proved to be
As opposed to the times when the Sudan tried to hand bin Laden to
the U.S. on a silver platter.
"For my money, the game was over at Tora
Bora," Anonymous said.
How cool is this? The game is over. Guess Anonymous can just sit at
his big desk shaking his head at everything that happens from now on.
Nothing left to do.
Yesterday President Bush repeated his assertion that Bin Laden was cornered and that there was "no hole or cave deep enough to hide from American justice".
Anonymous said: "I think we overestimate
significantly the stress [Bin Laden's] under. Our media and sometimes
our policymakers suggest he's hiding from rock to rock and hill to hill
and cave to cave. My own hunch is that he's fairly comfortable where he
If it's cause for concern when an intelligence official says
"probably," imagine how confident we are when he has a hunch.
The death and arrest of experienced
operatives might have set back Bin Laden's plans to some degree but
when it came to his long-term capacity to threaten the US, he said, "I
don't think we've laid a glove on him".
"I don't think" is almost as good as a hunch, though it may be, in
some sense, truer.
"What I think we're seeing in al-Qaida is a change of generation," he said. "The people who are leading al-Qaida now seem a lot more professional group.
"They are more bureaucratic, more
management competent, certainly more literate. Certainly, this
generation is more computer literate, more comfortable with the tools
of modernity. I also think they're much less prone to being the Errol
Flynns of al-Qaida. They're just much more careful across the board in
the way they operate."
We're inclined to agree that Anonymous knows his stuff about
bureaucratic management. Who but a Washington bureaucrat would conceive
that the most fearful descriptor he could apply to Al Qaida would be
"bureaucratic." We're quaking in our boots. Any moment now, the next
attack may come in the form of a series of suffocating regulations.
What would we do then? Oh that's right. We have senior intelligence
officials who know how to deal with that eventuality, if no other.
As for weapons of mass destruction, he thinks that if al-Qaida does not have them already, it will inevitably acquire them.
The most likely source of a nuclear
device would be the former Soviet Union, he believes. Dirty bombs,
chemical and biological weapons, could be home-made by al-Qaida's own
experts, many of them trained in the US and Britain.
Duh. And on whose watch did they get all that training, Anonymous?
Anonymous, who published an analysis of al-Qaida last year called Through Our Enemies' Eyes, thinks it quite possible that another devastating strike against the US could come during the election campaign, not with the intention of changing the administration, as was the case in the Madrid bombing, but of keeping the same one in place.
"I'm very sure they can't have a better administration for them than the one they have now," he said.
"One way to keep the Republicans in power
is to mount an attack that would rally the country around the
We've been waiting for this part of the spiel. Only a true
professional bureaucrat would be able to figure out that bin Laden's
greatest fear is a return to the dread days of the Clinton
administration, when counter-terrorism lay firmly in the hands of
experts like Anonymous. When bin Laden contemplates the havoc Kerry
will wreak by genuflecting to the anti-terror leviathan named Chirac,
he practically wets his pants. Worse still is the prospect that under a
Kerry administration, the Taliban might be restored in Afghanistan and
then bin Laden would have to return from his comfy aerie to the urban
dangers of Kabul. For months he has lain sleepless in his bed pondering
ways of enhancing the electability of the man who made him look like
such a genius with Mullah Omar. "Anyone but that ruthless and cunning swift boat
captain," he mutters. "anybody but Kerry."
The White House has yet to comment publicly on Imperial Hubris, which is due to be published on July 4, but intelligence experts say it may try to portray him as a professionally embittered maverick.
The tone of Imperial Hubris is certainly
angry and urgent, and the stridency of his warnings about al-Qaida led
him to be moved from a highly sensitive job in the late 90s.
Oh? So he's been working in a cubicle next to the copier for the past five years? But that wouldn't make him bitter or strident, would it? And isn't it odd that the "consensus among intelligence counter-terrorist professionals" is being articulated by a guy nobody's seen except at the water cooler since before 9/11.
But Vincent Cannistraro, a former chief
of operations at the CIA counter-terrorism centre, said he had been
vindicated by events. "He is very well respected, and looked on as a
serious student of the subject."
Oh, that explains it. He's a serious student of the subject. Why, we
have it on good authority that he got a 720 on his counter-terrorism
SATs. That's easily in the 99th percentile. Of what, you ask? We don't
Anonymous believes Mr. Bush is taking the
US in exactly the direction Bin Laden wants, towards all-out
confrontation with Islam under the banner of spreading democracy.
Excuse us, but that's what war is. Two combatants identify one
another as enemies and have at it. Unless one of them chooses abject
surrender, that's pretty much how it has to go.
He said: "It's going to take
10,000-15,000 dead Americans before we say to ourselves: 'What is going
We've been saying the same thing. Largely because of brain-dead
bureaucratic incompetents like Anonymous. There's no way to finesse
this war with elegant memos or bitter, self-promoting leaks to the
Tally ho.

Mumbai: Anupam Kher is a veteran actor, and his acting credibility and association with the Indian film industry has earned him respect. Anupam Kher has stood up for a lot of social causes and has become a face for many a noble cause and charity. With Anna Hazare becoming a symbol for all anti corruption movements in recent India, a lot of celebrities and people from different walks of society have expressed their support for Anna Hazare. His anti corruption bill though remained a debatable issue, his intentions of eradicating corruption has been appreciated by the citizens of India.
Participation in candle light marches and walks to spread his message of anti corruption has become a much common phenomenon, and Mumbai is also facing its share of activities. Anupan Kher told reports that he feels the Government is acting defensive and rejecting Anna's pleas without much consideration. The actor feels that the government is considering the anti corruption as a means of rebellion towards the government. The government should be more open minded when dealing with such issues and should think of the long term goals rather than snubbing such extreme efforts undertaken by a commoner.
Anupam Kher also feels that the government is misleading a certain section of the population,and under a wrong notion that with time the protestors of the corruption lead by team Anna Hazare would lose their energy and subtle down. On the other hand, the actor thinks that such efforts are a rarity in today's self centered and corrupted India. One needs to be supportive of the truth and raise a voice against all corrupt practices. If we don't do anything then there is no point complaining. Anupam Kher was also moved by the response of the youth towards the movement and overwhelmed by the support team Anna has gathered in a short span of time.
The stalwarts of the film industry has showed their participation and the support of Anupam Kher helps to re establish the fact that on certain issues the country stands united, and the fight against corruption is one such issue. The actor added that his family had inculcated good moral values in him from childhood and he feels that the cause gave a rebirth to his preference to truth. The flags fluttering in the MMRDA grounds in Mumbai and the youth of the city expressing their support with their enthusiasm and presence made it an over whelming experience for the actor.

Transportation (Local)
Hospet > Hampi
Local by Bus : Rs10
Hospet > Hampi by Auto-rickshaw : Rs100
The auto-rickshaws wait patiently in a row just outside the railway station. And that changes when the train finally arrives. Catch one from the scramble or any where from the town for that matter. Ask for and settle (negotiate) the price before you start. These take you from Hospet (bus/railway station) and drop you in the middle of Hampi.Hospet > Hampi by Auto-rickshaw (shared) : Rs 15 per head.
These shared taxies ply between Hampi & Hospet bus station via the Kadirampura village. It takes longer than the regular Autorickhaw ride as the driver stops very now and then to pick and drop passengers. But it is comparable with the time the local bus takes and cheaper than the regular Autoricskhaw hire (Rs 100 for Hampi>Hospet). Most of your co passengers would be the local villagers, sometimes with their livestock too. Not a bad way to hit Hampi with a bang.
Hampi> Kamalapura/Royal Centre by Autorickhaw : Rs 25
May be half of it, if you are willing to share it with a co passenger to the same destination.
Hampi> Vittala Temple by Auto-rickshaw : Rs 25 to Rs 100
Depends if you are going straight to your destination or take any short side trips/ stopovers/want a return trip. This route goes though the other popular sites in Hampi. Negotiate & finalize things with the driver before you hire.
Coracle ferry : Rs 5
....and that doesn't include the insurance cover! This is for a regular ferry across the river (near Virupaksha Temple & off Vittala Temple). The operator charges Rs10 to Rs15 for ferrying you along with your bike. A specially commissioned coracle ferry for the local sightseeing or fun ride can cost about Rs50 to Rs100 (negotiable) for about 30 minutes. Riverside near Kodandarama Temple is a popular place for this.
A typical Bicycle & Moped rental place in Hampi
Bicycle & Moped rental : Bicycle : Rs 30 per day; Moped : Rs 150 per day ( petrol extra at Rs 65 per liter, and it keep increasing almost every other day!)
The mopeds are 50cc two-wheelers without shift gears, just adequate to carry two average sized riders (max. speed 35 kilometers/Hr). Higher powered scooters & bikes (100cc) too are available for a higher rental rate (Rs 200 to Rs 300). Fuel economy is about 30km/liter .
The Fuel station in Hampi is located at Kamalapura, a few kilometers away from Hampi Bazaar. The rental shop can 'arrange' petrol locally at a slightly worst rate. No fuel stations near any of the ruins site away from Kamalapura. In the Anegondi area (the other side of the river) a mechanic shop near the Gagan Mahal at the village square is of help to organize fuel. Don't expect fuel efficiency more than 25 kilometers per liter. So fill it up adequate and stop worrying (about 3 liters is okay for a days roaming)
Many rental shops are located at Hampi Bazaar area. Some are located in Kamalapura. And a few are in Hospet too.
The rental system is basically based on the 'honor system'. You need to give them some assurances to rent you the bike. For example if you can convince them that you are staying in a specific guest houses nearby, that would be suffice. Or pledge an ID card or something like that (as a matter of prudence never leave anything like credit card or passport). If you are not patient for all these, request your guest house caretaker to get you one with the required fuel filled. They get a commission & you pay a slightly worse rate!
Car Hire : About Rs 600 to Rs 800 per day (includes driver allowance).
Generally people hire car from Hospet and travel onward to the Hampi ruins. Remember car cannot take you to all the ruins site in Hampi. Be prepared for some considerable legwork, that is, if you are serious about 'exploring' Hampi.Tonga (horse carriage) : About Rs 50 to Rs 100
That is for a typical short to medium exclusive trip from one monument to another (say from the Sacred Center to the Royal Centre or to the Vittala Temple). Tongas are slow but funny and environmentally friendly alternative to explore the ruins site.Lodging A Hampi guesthouse. They are typically a backpacker version of home stay accommodations. You practically share the home facilities with the family.
Budget (backpacker) type : Rs 50 to Rs 200 .
Bring your own toilet paper -BYOTP! ( Rs , available at Hampi Bazaar area ). Many dozens of these 'guesthouses' are located near the Hampi Bazaar area and Virupapur Gadde, across the river. Some are located in Kamalapura also. It can be anything from a hut to a rooftop to a home with a family living there.Midrange : Rs 300 to Rs 800 .
These are typical no nonsense type accommodations. A couple of them are near the Virupaksha Temple, a few at Virupapur Gadde. Many at Hospet.Luxury : Rs 1200 to Rs .
(Lodging costs faithfully follows the tourist traffic, typically goes up by 25 to 50% during the peak seasons)Food South Indian breakfast – Rs15 Breakfast (western type) – Rs60 South Indian meals – Rs25 Dinner with special dishes – Rs100 to Rs 200 Packaged drinking water – Rs15 per liter.
Ticket cost & fees Entry Ticket fee : Rs 10 / USD5 .
For Indian citizens - Rs10 For foreigners USD5 Children under age of 12 are admitted free.The ticket is valid for a day for the three monuments – Vittala Temple, Zenena Enclosure & the Elephant stables.For all the other sites (more than 50) admission is free!Archeological Museum (entry fee) : Rs 5
Open from 10AM to 5 PM. Closed on Fridays.And that smooch by Lakshmi, the temple elephant, cost you a rupee!
Camera fee
No camera fee is charged for most of the monuments in Hampi. Virupaksha Temple charges Rs 50 for use of still cameras & Rs 500 for movie camera to use inside the campus.Vittala Temple charges Rs 25 for use of video camera inside the campus.Guide fee : Rs 50 to Rs 600 .
For a single major monument – Rs 50 (for about 30-45 minutes tour) For full day a private guide charges about Rs 600 . For a half day tour of multiple monuments – Rs 200 to Rs300 . The rates fall by about 40% during off season (April-September). Contact the tourist info center near the Virupaksha Temple on Hampi Bazaar to help you with arranging a guide. Though not legitimate professional guides, the local auto-rickshaw drivers can 'guide' you to various sites in Hampi. You can rent an auto-rickshaw for a half-day ride for about Rs 300.Internet: Rs 60 per hour
Connections are slow (I mean really slow) & generally the queue is long during the evening hours. So don't fancy uploading heaps of photos you've just taken at Hampi. Contact the net café operator to get the photos downloaded from your camera & to get it burned on CD (get 2 CD copies each, if you consider them to be too precious to lose!). About Rs 50 per CD.
Hackers sell tiny guidebooks near Hampi Bazaar area for Rs20 to Rs30. You may download and print a copy of the Hampi map for you here. The bookstore near Virupaksha stocks a few popular books on Hampi. There is one bookstall inside the Virupaksha temple courtyard too. The French edition Hampi Vijayanagar : Histoire Et Legendes (ISBN 9782911166174) by Vasundhara Filliozat (Rs 500 ); Reprint of the oldest travel guide (1917 first edition) on Hampi, Hampi Ruins Described and Illustrated ( ISBN 81-206-0159-9 ) A.N.

Media / Product and service news / Atlas Copco takes important step in mechanical rod handling
Atlas Copco takes important step in mechanical rod handling
Atlas Copco launches the rod handling system, RHS E, for use with its Rocket Boomer E-series of face drilling rigs. This means that longer holes for grouting, probing or drainage can be drilled without the necessity of manual rod extension, normally carried out by an operator from the service platform.
In addition to drilling blast holes at the face a Boomer drill rig is often engaged in drilling holes in other directions and for other purposes. In infrastructure projects, especially when excavating through fractured and weak rock or soil, a high number of long holes for pregrouting are drilled 20-25 m ahead the face. This type of drilling requires extension rods. New stricter safety regulations recently introduced in some countries do not permit men standing on the service platform carrying out manual work, while drilling is being performed with other booms. To eliminate time consuming stoppages during extension drilling, one or more booms equipped with RHS E will make the rod handling procedure mechanically while face drilling is being conducted with the other boom(s). The hydraulically driven carousel furnished with two gripping arms accommodates eight 10 ft (3.05 m) extension rods.
−One of the design goals has been the possibility to quickly attach and detach RHS E on site. I am very pleased that we have achieved this very important goal, since it gives the user a very flexible system, says Mikael Ramström, Product Line Manager Underground Drilling Equipment.
In addition to an improved working environment RHS E will no doubt make its vital contribution towards faster and more efficient tunnelling.

A Real Domestic Goddess
While researching Georgetown weirdness, I learned that one of the places I wrote about in my April 24 Bite Me column -- the Silver Queen bar and restaurant—once had none other than Roseanne Barr on staff in the kitchen, either as a prep cook or a sous chef.
To quote that ever-trustworthy source, TV.com, "Roseanne had a brief stint (early 1970's) as a French chef's assistant at the Silver Queen, the then premier French restaurant in Colorado, just outside of Denver."
The spot that once held the Silver Queen has turned into the Georgetown Valley Candy Company. Roseanne, of course, soon got out of the kitchen, moved from Denver and created a niche in Hollywood as a Domestic Goddess. But she may be back, if she follows through on her threat to cook up some mischief at the Democratic National Convention. -- Jason Sheehan

SHAREHOLDER YIELD: A Better Approach To Dividend Investing
AAII Silicon Valley Chapter
Saturday, May 4, 2013 from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM (PDT)
Event Details
SHAREHOLDER YIELD: A Better Approach To Dividend Investing
Important: Please Note the New Location!
Mebane Faber is a co-founder and the Chief Investment Officer of Cambria Investment Management will present his popular seminar to AAII members:
In this low-return environment, investors have flocked to dividend stocks in search of yield. However, companies in the U.S. markets are paying out less in dividends due to legal, tax and structural changes. Consequently, investors should consider all of the direct and indirect ways in which companies distribute their cash to shareholders, a metric commonly referred to as "shareholder yield." Mebane Faber will discuss his new book, "Shareholder Yield: A Better Approach to Dividend Investing," and show how to analyze portfolios based on various cash flow metrics. He will demonstrate that portfolios of companies with high shareholder yields outperform both broad market indexes and other high-dividend-yield portfolios by a substantial margin. It is more important than ever to consider the alternative methods by which companies distribute their earnings.
Attend This Meeting to Learn:
How to find returns in a low return world
Why focusing on dividends alone is a mistake
A better approach to income investing
Reasons to Attend This Meeting:
- Hear information beneficial to you if you own stocks and are looking for income
- Learn more about dividend stocks

Secondaries pioneer Adams Street Partners has hit its $1bn hard cap for its latest vehicle aimed at helping LPs exit their investments in private equity funds.
Adams Street Global Secondary Fund 5 brings the US-based firm's available secondary capital to about $2bn.
It said the fund beat its $750m target thanks to commitments from a diversified mix of LPs including sovereign wealth funds, public and private pension funds, insurance companies, endowments, foundations and high net worth individuals.
The firm was one of the first in the world to dip its toes into the secondaries market, closing its first transaction in 1986.
It is also widely recognised as the oldest fund of funds manager in the industry, having set up its first fund for LPs in 1979.
Earlier this year the firm used capital from its fund of funds programme to back early-stage venture capital firm Ignition Partners as it closed its fifth fund on $150m.
The Washington-based firm, which was co-founded by former Microsoft Windows veteran Brad Silverberg, collected $400m for its last vehicle in 2007, and $285m for its first institutional fund in 2001.
Reducing the fund target helped Ignition complete a fast fundraise, however, with the Ignition Venture Partners V becoming oversubscribed in less than three months.

You can sell your pistol FTF in NC so long as the buyer has a NC pistol permit (it's a permit that YOU keep). Then I would get as much information on the buyer as possible and a statement signed by him stating that he is not a felon (the permit should already tell you this but I did it just to make sure).
Have fun in NC, that's where I was stationed for 5 years and it's a beautiful state. But I still think SC is better.:p
Where are you stationed? Bragg?

The CIA almost blew its chance to recruit the specialist engineer Adolf Tolkachev in the late 1970s, but once he had been "landed", Guilsher's professionalism and bravery helped build a bond that yielded military secrets of incalculable importance.
Sponsored Ads
Tolkachev, a senior engineer for Phazotron, provided key details of the research and development of the all-important radar systems for the Soviet's front-line fighters from the MiG-29 and MiG-31 to the Sukhoi Su-27, as well as for cruise missiles and avionics. His secret revelations more than matched the importance of another "volunteer" spy, Colonel Oleg Penkovsky of the Soviet military intelligence service,who provided the CIA with key information in 1960.
