A Victim Possibly Identified?

Has the victim seen in the infamous train video beating been identified? There is a possibility that this might be the case if you believe 27 year old Rafael Cruz. According to the New York Police Department Transit Bureau, Mr. Cruz filed a complaint on Monday saying he was the victim seen in the video being taunted & assaulted. He said he did not fight back because he did not want to hit a woman.
I think I need to have a long talk with Mr. Cruz & any other man who feels it is ok to not fight back when you are clearly being assaulted by a "so called" woman. In certain cases, you must throw all rules out the window & protect yourself which is a right you will always have!

Possible Hate Crime Occurs On The Q Train

Yesterday a disturbing story came over the AP wire. The story was about a possible hate crime that occurred on a southbound Q train at Canal Street According to the cops, four Jewish subway riders were showered with anti-Semitic comments & beaten after wishing riders "Happy Hanukkah". Here is the full story courtesy of the AP & posted on AMNY:
An attack on four subway riders during Hanukkah last week is being investigated as a possible hate crime, police and prosecutors said Tuesday.
Four people were approached Friday night by another group who began yelling anti-Semitic remarks at them and assaulting them on a southbound Q train at Canal Street in Manhattan, police said.
Police caught up with the train at the Flatbush and DeKalb avenues station in Brooklyn and arrested eight men and two women, ages 19 and 20. They were arraigned Saturday on third-degree assault and menacing, second-degree riot and harassment, and disorderly conduct, the Brooklyn district attorney's office said. The case was being handled by the office's civil rights bureau, and charges could be upgraded to a hate crime, prosecutors said Tuesday.
The two men and two women who were attacked had bruises and welts on their faces and heads, but were not hospitalized, police said.
One of the men charged, Joseph Jirovec, 19, pleaded guilty last year to attempted robbery as a hate crime and was awaiting sentencing, prosecutors said. Jirovec, who is white, was part of a group that yelled racial epithets and assaulted two black teenagers in the Gerritsen Beach section of Brooklyn, prosecutors said.
Jirovec's lawyer, Peter Mollo, said Tuesday it was very unlikely his client would attack another person because he or she was Jewish. "His mother was Jewish," he said. "It's very unlikely he would do something like this at all."
State Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who represents Brooklyn, said he was disturbed by news of the incident.
"Where is this coming from when young people are involved in this kind of behavior?" he asked. "You would think we've learned from the past. Something rotten is going on."
I am glad that the scumbags who assaulted these innocent riders were arrested. I hope the justice system gives these scumbags a severe ass kicking to match the beating they gave the 4 riders & then some! There is no place for these kind of crimes in today's society even if we do not agree with the faith of others.
One last thing, you have got to love the lawyer for one of the scumbags who uses the "my client could not have done this routine due to _______ enter any b.s. reason you can come up with" defense. I find it downright laughable that he mentions his client's mother is part Jewish which would make it impossible for him to perpetrate such a crime. Last I checked wasn't one of Adolf Hitler's right hand men Jewish? I know someone in that regime was, so sorry buddy I would come up with a new defense. You get paid enough money so you have to come up with a better plan!

Metro-North Finalizes A Collective Bargaining Agreement
In the last piece of Metro-North news for Tuesday December 11th, the MTA announced that the Metro-North has finalized a collective bargaining agreement with the Association Of Commuter Railroad Employees Division 166. Here is the full press release courtesy of the MTA:
Metro-North has reached agreement with the last of its 19 bargaining units, the railroad announced Monday.
The 222 members of the signalmen's union, the Association of Commuter Railroad Employees Division 166, ratified the contract last month and the agreement was approved by the board of directors of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority at its last meeting.
"With wages and working conditions settled for Metro-North's 4,900 union-represented workers through 2010, the railroad and its employees can better focus on continual improvement of the safe, reliable service we provide every day," said Metro-North President Peter A. Cannito.
Work rule and productivity gains were achieved in this round of talks.
This contract, which is retroactive to January 1, 2007, was extended six months beyond the usual three-year term to June 15, 2010, to help pay for some of the contract changes, notably an improved pension plan similar to that offered to management employees.
The ACRE signalmen were the last to sign because of work rule issues unique to their craft, the railroad said.
It is nice to know that an agreement was reached. It is never a bad thing to have all of your ducks in a row as far as agreements are concerned. Now ladies & gentlemen, lets get to work!

Metro-North Announces Reconstruction Plans For 3 Stations
Continuing with the latest Metro-North news, the MTA issued a press release to announce their reconstruction plans for the Ossining, Philipse Manor, & Scarborough stations. Here is the full press release courtesy of the MTA:
The ongoing rehabilitation of Hudson Line stations has reached Ossining, Scarborough and Philipse Manor, MTA Metro-North Railroad announced today.
Working from south to north, with work just finishing up at Hastings-on-Hudson, Dobbs Ferry, Ardsley-on-Hudson, and Irvington, 13 Hudson Line stations have now been completely rebuilt.
The overhauls continue with a $67 million upgrade planned for Ossining, Scarborough and Philipse Manor, where new platforms, canopies, shelters, enclosed staircases, lighting, benches, public address systems, audio-visual information systems and trash receptacles are planned for each station.
The overpass at Scarborough will be demolished and replaced with a new one that has elevators on either side, making the station fully accessible to the disabled for the first time. At Scarborough, which is sandwiched between Kemey's Cove and the Hudson River, a temporary station will be built south of the existing one. Contractor access to the west side will be to drive across the tracks at a temporary at-grade crossing. With equipment, materials and construction trailers occupying the space at the foot of the northbound platform, a temporary platform will be built in the parking lot behind the outbound local track.
Another temporary inbound platform will be built directly atop of track four, which will be out of service. They will be connected by a temporary overpass.
During this work, a dozen parking spaces will be out of service. The Village of Briarcliff Manor is instituting a valet parking service during construction with parking in the drive aisles.
At Ossining, where an historic brick station building straddles the four tracks below, six new and one rehabilitated staircase will connect the station and Secor Road with the platforms. Four new elevators will be built. Two elevators will be installed in shaft ways that long ago held baggage handling elevators and will connect the elevated walkway on the north side of the station building to the two island platforms. Two new elevators will connect Secor Road overpass with the parking areas east and west of the tracks.
In a separate but related project, Metro-North will begin to restore the architectural integrity of the Tarrytown Station building. Inside, the station building is in good shape, but outside, much structural work is needed. Most importantly the building's foundation, which was settled in the northeast corner, will be corrected and stabilized.
In addition, three roof dormers that were removed from the track side of the building in the 1980s will be rebuilt during the roof replacement to bring daylight back into the waiting area. A porte-cochere that existed years ago on the front or east side of the building also will be rebuilt, subject to a traffic study.
Windows will be refurbished or replaced in kind. Exterior columns and eaves will be restored. Copper gutters and leaders will be replaced in kind.
The design for repairs at Tarrytown is being prepared for review in January by the State Historic Preservation Office of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. Advertisement for a construction contractor is expected next spring with work to begin in summer. The station and ticket window will remain operational during the restoration.
Work on the platforms, staircases, elevators and overpasses at Tarrytown is planned to will be undertaken as a single project beginning in mid-2009. Tarrytown is the only station in the interlocking north of Irvington and south of Philipse Manor.
During construction at Philipse Manor, Scarborough and Ossining, morning customers will be boarding southbound trains on the opposite platform. Signs will be posted at the stations and announcements will be made directing customers to the correct platform
Scheduling of station construction projects is dictated by the track layout. To work on platforms, the adjacent track has to be taken out of service. To do that, trains must be routed onto other tracks at switches, also called interlockings. Often the distance between interlockings is several miles and may include several stations. So it makes sense to bundle work at stations within a given interlocking to take advantage of the track outage.
That's why work at Hastings-on-Hudson, Dobbs Ferry, Ardsley-on-Hudson, and Irvington was done simultaneously and why works at Ossining, Scarborough and Philipse Manor will be undertaken as a single project.
That's also why Track 4, the western-most, riverside track, also known as the inbound local track, will be taken out of service on January 15, 2008 for 18 months during work at Ossining, Scarborough and Philipse Manor. During this outage, customers will board AM peak trains from the opposite side, Track 3, also known as the outbound local track.
While I am sure some customers will complain about the temporary changes at their respective stops, they will hopefully enjoy the upgraded facilities to help create a better railroad.

The closing of a locomotive plant in London, Ont., by U.S. heavy equipment maker Caterpillar comes as the latest blow to Canada's struggling manufacturing sector.
Facing new competition from low-cost countries, a sluggish economic recovery and no longer able to count on a weak loonie to create a cost advantage, the sector faces a tough future.
Michael Burt, director for industrial economic trends at the Conference Board of Canada, said the manufacturing sector has been improving since the lows of the 2008-09 recession, but noted it faced difficulties long before the downturn.
"Before the recession, we saw no growth in broad manufacturing activity for much of the last decade," he said pointing to the rising loonie and China's growing role as the world's factory as two key factors.
Mr. Burt said there have been some areas of growth in areas such as food manufacturing, but the more traditional segments such as the auto-parts industry have struggled in the face of competition from places like Mexico.
"That's been because we are a higher-cost market. That's a function of the strengthening dollar and the unit labour costs in the industry."
Ten years ago, Canada's dollar was worth as little as 61.79 cents (U.S.). Now the two currencies are worth about the same, taking away one reason for companies to do their manufacturing in this country.
Caterpillar subsidiary Progress Rail Services announced Friday it would close the Electro-Motive Diesel plant in London after failing to reach a deal with its workers.
Progress Rail had asked the workers to take a 50-per-cent pay cut to help keep Electro-Motive going before locking them out on Jan. 1 after the union rejected the proposal.
The company, which bought Electro-Motive for $820-million (U.S.) in cash from Berkshire Partners LLC and Greenbriar Equity Group LLC in 2010, said it would move the work to its other plants in North and South America.
In addition to the operation in London, Progress has plants across the United States as well as in Mexico and Brazil.
The latest closure follows a decision last year by Navistar International Corp. to close its truck manufacturing plant in nearby Chatham, Ont., for good, a move that put 1,100 workers out of work.
Thousands of workers in the auto industry were thrown off the job during the restructuring of the big North American auto makers, which saw plants closed and others slimmed down.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper had used Electro-Motive as a backdrop in 2008 to promote big tax breaks for industrial capital investments.
NDP MP Robert Chisholm called on the federal government, which has said repeatedly that the Electro-Motive dispute is one between a private company and its workers, to do something.
"The fact is that taxpayers have funded Caterpillar, the growth of Caterpillar in this country," Mr. Chisholm said. "In fact, we're funding the move of Caterpillar to the United States and, so I say, and I think Canadians would agree, that this government has a responsibility to hold that company accountable."
Andrew MacDougall, a spokesman for Mr. Harper, challenged Mr. Chisholm's claim that taxpayers funded the Electro-Motive plant, adding that he wasn't aware of any government dollars having gone to Caterpillar.
He said the Prime Minister was disappointed with the outcome of the labour dispute and sympathized with the workers who are now without jobs. But he blamed the provincial government for not being able to mediate a solution.
Mr. MacDougall said Ottawa is working on a plan that will generate new jobs and opportunities for those affected by the closure and will also work with Ontario to provide access to benefits and skills training for displaced workers.
The CAW said Friday the closing of the factory did not just affect the plant's 465 workers, but would also hurt an additional 1,700 workers employed in spinoff jobs related to the operation.
The hit comes as the CAW prepares for a new set of contract talks with the U.S. auto makers. The union has said it is expecting a difficult round of bargaining.
The CAW has pointed to the erosion of the manufacturing sector in Canada and high unemployment as key challenges for workers across the country, both unionized and non-unionized and in both the private and public sector.
Mr. Burt said that the manufacturing growth in Canada in the 1990s was counter to what else was happening the rest of the world as the country benefited from the free-trade agreement with the United States and a weak loonie.

Paulo Bento's Portugal started with a 4-3-3 formation, with three deep-lying midfielders. The trio of Joao Moutinho, Raul Meireles and Miguel Veloso refused to venture forward and every Portuguese attack was directed towards the two wide men, Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani.
The Germans, on the other hand, opted for the more conventional, continental 4-2-3-1 formation, where Real Madrid's Mesut Ozil had a free, drifting role behind forward Mario Gomez.
Germany's holding midfielders, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Sami Khedira, joined in support. The duo, however, always ensured that one of them stayed behind to neutralise the threat from Ronaldo and Nani.
The wing-backs, Philip Lahm and Jerome Boetang, also sat deeper than usual.
Ozil, not a conventional No. 10, started a little on the right and dictated play with his constant lateral drift and was involved in almost every German move in the opposition's half.
Ronaldo, expected to sprint down the left flank, was pinned down by Boateng and was often seen drifting inside but failed to make headway because of the lack of support from the midfield trio.
Fabio Coentrao was the best on display for Portugal with his darting runs down the left.
The introduction of Silvestre Varela in place of Meireles effectively pushed Portugal to a 4-2-3-1 system and that extra offensive player provided more thrust to its attack in the final minutes but it was too late.

No 11 has traversed the Metro in Paris, Rome & Barcelona. It's coped with being dragged over gravel in Treviso, grass in Nantes, deep cobble stones in Avignon, ultra saline Mediterranean Sea water on a yacht in the Greek Cyclades, snow and more. It returns home with great stories to tell, and every adventure it survives – unscathed.

It's ok
I bought this bag a few years ago. However, there are a few problems. The front section where one would store clothes, is really difficult to lock because the thingy inside the storage zone is too short to hook up with the zipper. You can only use a very small padlock with this. I think this bag is meant for a leftie because lifting the bag is very awkward. When full, the bag cannot stand upright as it kept toppling over.

Needs Improvement
We bought two of these bags to replace previous Wenger and Samsonite bags. Bought Crumpler because of the look and expectation of quality. First thing that happened was that one of the extension handles didn't work properly from new. Crumpler replaced this bag immediately.
We have now completed two overseas trips with these bags carrying around 16kg in each and have the following to offer:
1) The bags would definitely benefit from having a lift handle at the wheel base of the bag. Always looking for it when lifting in and out of car boots. Most other bags have this. Very awkward to lift a full bag.
2) The corner support structure for the wheels is not strong enough. One corner has collapsed on one bag making it very difficult to wheel in the upright position. It goes everywhere and takes a good deal of force to keep straight.
3) I find the single "X" elastic internal clothing hold-down strap useless. Have had much better outcomes with bags that have a separate strap for each half of the bag.
Would I buy Crumpler again? No.

100% Product failure!
My wife and I bought a pair of these suitcases for our round the world trip in September 2014. A whopping $790…we thought we were buying quality and longevity, however we were sadly mistaken. The first thing we noticed was when the bags are fully packed they lose their shape and become a cumbersome round balloon shaped…this makes them very prone to toppling over. 2/ The locking mechanism on the outside pocked is almost impossible to use as the tiny connecting hook is located inside the zip (?!). 3/ When you lift the bag with the side handle it stretches the bag completely out of shape…a good 20cm of stretch. 4/ Now to the major issue…half way through our round the world trip the base of my bag, to which the wheels are connected, shattered…completely…so that the 2 wheels collapsed and became useless. I had to lift all 19kg of this bag through the streets of Zurich, Bern, Tokyo, Kyoto & Sydney. This led to a very sore back and a pretty annoying remainder of our holiday. Ordinarily I can understand maybe a crack or a bend or something getting torn…but not a complete disintegration of the bags main structure! The base seems to be made from a plastic that has absolutely no flexibility or resilience. After returning home, I took both bags back to the shop asking for a refund. They outright refused and instead insisted that I take 2 new replacement bags instead. But here's the catch…I DON"T WANT THEM! I have no faith in the construction of these bags, they are cumbersome and badly put together for the price. How many times I had to watch my wife struggle with this thing…toppling over, struggling up and down stairs with handles that stretched too much and a main compartment that became balloon shaped when packed.

(KMOV) -- Several police departments throughout St. Louis County are now armed with a new device that could help prosecute drunk drivers. It's what's being called the "Next Generation Breathalyzer".
"The good part about the new instruments, is that it uses two different devices, one to measure the quality of the breath sample and one to measure the quantity of the breath sample," said Officer Kurt Roettering with the Des Peres Department of Public Safety.
Officials say chemicals that can cause inaccurate readings aren't picked up by the new breathalyzer.
"This new instrument is ethanol only," said Roettering. "It detects ethanol and gives you a measurement of ethanol only. So that takes the chances of false readings away."
The digital device, reminds officers of the series of steps required before a subject can blow.
"It prompts them through everything they need to do, and makes sure they have done everything they are suppose to do as far as observing the person, checking certain things," said Officer Terry Cordia with the Chesterfield Police Department.
As of now, Kirkwood, Town and Country, Des Peres, Chesterfield and the St. Louis County Police Department will be using the new breathalyzer starting on March 1.

You can't clean a pilot jet. Replace it.
You probably have the passage above the pilot jet still clogged.
Use monofiliment wire.

Money on the Pilot jet like the above post. Any decent shop should have a new one, if not a soak in berrymans chemtool, and a wire from a brass wire brush should fix it up.
Posted March 08, 2013 - 10:37 PM
it is normal for a bike to not run with full choke. if it stalls when you take choke off, then you are too lean.
Posted March 09, 2013 - 05:07 AM
if your still having trouble after cleaning/replacing the pilot jet then you might want to check for air leaks around the intake manifold.Those o rings are prone to leaking. Also make sure you have decent flow from the fuel valve and that its making it to the float bowl.

I recently spent a couple weekends in Wisconsin, and found a bunch of great New Glarus Beers. The Spotted Cow inspired me to make something that has a cream ale base, but with a few tweaks. I really enjoyed the character the yeast provided to Spotted Cow, and have recently read that its probably the Wyeast Kolsch strain, but when I tasted the beer I came up with some very faint banana, and the beer was fairly cloudy but not as cloudy as a Heffe or Wit. Either way, I decided to go with the Wyeast 3068 Weihenstephan Weizen strain to get the good esters. This is an experiment to see if I can create a great tasting summer beer. Comments are welcome, but note this is a beer inspired by the spotted cow, not a clone. Assumed 70% Efficiency (this is what I have targeted and routinely get with my system). This makes 6 Gallons. Grainbill: 7.5 lb 2 row (rahr) 2 lb flaked corn (breiss) 1 lb flaked wheat (breiss) .25 lb Biscuit .25 lb Victory .25 lb Carapils Hops: ~ 16 IBU 1 oz liberty 5% 60 min 15 IBU 0.5 oz Saaz 4% 5 min 1 IBU Stats: Preboil Gravity: 1.041 Post Boil Gravity: 1.049 Final Gravity: 1.011 ABV: 4.9% Yeast: WY 3068 Mash @149 for 90 minutes to convert the corn and wheat. Strike Water: 4.2 Gallons at 160F Sparge Water: 5.0 Gallons at 179F I use 100% RO water, I'm just planning on adding about 2 TSP or ~ 8mg of calcium chloride to the water. I'll add about 4ml of lactic acid to the mash to set the PH.
I had the same experience about 2 months ago, and came home wanting to brew a spotted cow clone as well. The only recipe I found was the Kolsch yeast. The beer turned out alright, but there is definitely something "off", and my first thought was the yeast as well. Let us know how this turns out with the 3068. I'd love to brew it again and get closer to the original.
Just a reminder, this isn't intended to be a clone, but I'll post a review in about five or six weeks when it's ready for consumption.
love that beer, and would love to hear how this turns out kammee
I nailed the numbers last night, everything turned out exactly as written in the recipe. I did use some Fermcap-S in the fermenter as I didn't want to hastle with a blowoff tube.... we'll see if it helps, as I'm already seeing bubbles in the airlock and its only been about 8 hours since the pitch. I'm really excited to try this... and depending on how it turns out may turn around and do a Bavarian Heffe with the yeast to get a couple brews out of one smack pack.
Kegged this spotted cow inspired beer tonight, gravity came out at 1.013. That leaves me with an ABV of 4.7%, which is close to what I wanted. Hydrometer sample presented a nice light golden color and hazy from the yeast. The taste was very nice, extremely drinkable with just a hint of banana, similar to what I recall experiencing with Spotted Cow. With some nice carbonation coming out of solution in the sample tube, it even had a good drying affect. I can't wait for this to carb up, in a week I'll be enjoying this on draft!
I Couldn't help but pull a glass after work. It's very hazy from the yeast but has great character. I think the yeast is the forward player here, so I'll make this again with a kolsch yeast in another month or so. It's easy drinking though!
I thought I'd post an update for anyone who's interested. This has cleared a bit with some time in the keg. Its still slightly hazy, but now the yeast is not contributing as much in the way of flavor. There is some slight banana in the aroma, but some really good clove flavor. It compliments the cream ale base and makes this a slightly complex beer considering it has a cream ale type base. I'm very happy with how this turned out but still curious how Kolsch yeast would turn out.
Giving this another go with some WLP029 Kolsch yeast. Didn't have any victory on hand, just going to use 0.5 lb of biscuit. Trying Wheat Malt instead of Flaked Wheat. Should be Good.

Glove Deliver Warmth and Comfort -
By: Cargoduet from Michigan
Thicker than other fingerless gloves provide an extra degree of warmth.
Great Gloves! -
By: MrsJonA from Upstate, NY
I enjoy the warmth and softness of the wool. These gloves were recommended by some ice fishermen for their ability to keep you warm even when wet. And they are quick drying. The only issue I seem to find is that the palm side is a little "bunchy" and I wish for a bit more coverage in the wrist area. Otherwise a great glove!!

My husband was thrilled to death with these gloves. They fit perfect and he has large hands. They are heavy and warm. He uses a computer in a cold area 8 hours a day and finds they keep his fingers warm and toasty and helps his arthritic fingers. He would recommend them to anyone looking for fingerless gloves and I will buy him a second pair as a spare. Best around!

Watching Myanmar from Above September 28, 2007 As it has done in Darfur and other crisis zones, the American Association for the Advancement of Science has conducted an analysis of high-resolution satellite images in Myanmar. It "pinpoints evidence consistent with village destruction, forced relocations, and a growing military presence at 25 sites across eastern Burma where eye-witnesses have reported human rights violations." This study, which has been underway for more than a year, does not document the current uprising in the cities, but rather tracks the ongoing campaign by Myanmar's security forces in the countryside.

Global Ship Lease Reports Results For The Third Quarter Of 2010
Credit Facility
On August 20, 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to its credit facility, whereby the loan-to-value covenant has been waived up to and including November 30, 2010 with the next loan-to-value test scheduled for April 30, 2011. Amounts borrowed under the amended credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a fixed interest margin of 3.50% up to November 30, 2010. Thereafter, the margin will be between 2.50% and 3.50% depending on the loan-to-value ratio.
In connection with the amended credit facility Global Ship Lease may not pay dividends to common shareholders, instead using its cash flow to prepay borrowings under the credit facility. Global Ship Lease can resume dividends after November 30, 2010 and once the loan-to-value is at or below 75%, when the prepayment of borrowings becomes fixed at $10 million per quarter.
On September 28, 2010 the Company agreed with its bank group to defer to December 30, 2010 the debt prepayment of approximately $16 million otherwise due on September 30, 2010. The deferment was to enhance the Company's flexibility as it explored solutions concerning the purchase of two 4,250 vessels due in December 2010 for which there was no committed finance.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2010 a total of $35.1 million has been prepaid leaving a balance outstanding of $553.1 million. The Company estimates that a further $53.8 million will be prepaid in the year ending September 30, 2011. Termination of Purchase Agreements On November 8, 2010, the Company signed agreements with the sellers of two 4,250 TEU container vessels which, once certain conditions have been satisfied, terminate the Company's purchase obligations which totaled $154.8 million. The Company has agreed to (i) release deposits, including accrued interest and totaling approximately $8.1 million per vessel, to the sellers, (ii) make a further cash payment of approximately $6.1 million per vessel and (iii) transfer to the sellers certain supplies purchased for the vessels which are valued at approximately $0.5 million per vessel. The total value of these items is $14.7 million per vessel. In exchange, the Company acquires purchase options giving it the right, but not the obligation, to purchase each vessel on the first anniversary of its delivery by the builder to the seller, for a final payment of $61.25 million per vessel. Each purchase option is to be exercised no later than 270 days after the delivery of the vessel by the builder to the seller, which is expected to be in December 2010 for both vessels. If the Company does not exercise the purchase options, the sellers retain all monies paid to them and the Company has no further liability. In certain circumstances, such as seller default, the Company is refunded the $14.7 million.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Tim Worstall is an Englishman who has failed at many things. Thus his turn to writing, the last refuge of many who could make a living no other way. He is, as an example of his business and financial perspicacity, the head of the international scandium oligopoly: the only commodity which has not risen in price in the past decade.
C'mon! Greece isn't really bust and it can pay its debts
Worstall @ the Weekend
As I write we've just got the latest news that Greece has been saved from default, bankruptcy, being thrown out of the euro and everything is going to be lovely for The Men Without Ties. Which is, of course, lovely, but there really wasn't quite as much to worry about as people seemed to think.
It could, obviously, all have gone …
Bloody TECH GIANTS... all they do is WASTE investors' MONEY
Worstall on Wednesday
The idea that the tech giants are simply going to waste the pots of cash with which they have been entrusted is certainly counter-intuitive, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they did. For that's pretty much the fate of all investment: to be wasted.
It's an odd claim, because there do appear to be successful examples of …
Didn't the Left once want the WORKERS to get all the dosh?
Worstall @ the Weekend
I'm old enough to remember when the British left really was dominated by Marxist thinking, however thinly or thickly that was covered by a layer of Fabianism or some other "socialism lite".
I haven't forgotten that the old Clause 4 of the Labour Party constitution, for example, insists that workers "by hand or brain" really …
Vodafone didn't have a £6bn tax bill. Sort yourselves out, Lefties
Worstall on Wednesday
I find myself watching current politics completely open-mouthed in amazement. The number of what are, if we are to be unkind about it, simply outright lies that have become common truths astonishes me. I refer, of course, to the latest revelations of the tax affairs of the nation.
The latest round is those revelations from HSBC' …
It's not easy being Green. But WHY insist we knit our own ties?
Worstall @ the Weekend
Following on from last week's approbation of one Green Party policy, it is possibly time for me to get off my chest an issue over the policy general of said greenery luvvies that really, really, bugs me.
Specifically, it is this idea that we should rely upon markets less and do more things "for ourselves". As I'll explain, from …
Skin colour's irrelevant. Just hire competent folk on their merits, FFS
Worstall on Wednesday
I note from a technical publication of repute that Microsoft has announced that marriage equality is a fundamental and core value for the company itself. To which, OK, great, and why not?

Basic minimum income is a BRILLIANT idea. Small problem: it doesn't work as planned
Worstall @ the Weekend
Given that we've a general election coming up, people are starting to actually pay attention to what the various politicians are saying. Which is, of course, interesting, for it's often the first time that said politicos are asked whether their sums add up.
So it was when Natalie Bennett of the Green Party was "questioned" - …
Google gets my data, I get search and email and that. Help help, I'm being REPRESSED!

When munching that third slice of toast and marmalade I allow myself on a Sunday morning (diet is so important to us middle-aged types) I find that John Naughton's piece on personal data leads me to spluttering Seville's finest all over the kittens as they angle for the remains of the fry-up.

Chipotle insider trading: Disproving the efficient markets hypothesis
Worstall @ the Weekend
We had a distressing little incident here recently among the commentards over the meaning of the efficient markets hypothesis. So I'll explain what it is, using a current little story to prove that one version of it must be wrong as well.
That little efficient markets hypothesis (EMH) incident was an insider trading case …
Does Big Tech hire white boys ahead of more skilled black people and/or women?
Worstall on Weds (on Thurs)
I've been watching with some amusement a little story about Pinterest noting that it's got a user base that leans heavily female. It's doing the rounds as the company thinks, well, it would be nice to be stuffing men full of ads as well (when it actually starts slinging ads) so, umm, why don't we go out and try and find some …
Uber isn't limited by the taxi market: It's limited by the Electronic Thumb market
Worstall @ the Weekend
We've had a look before at that valuation of Uber at $40k bar** and mulled over whether it makes any sense or not. And there's a little snippet of news out that shows that there might be more substance to it than most of us tend to think there is. It could, of course it could, still be just an absurdly over-hyped product of …
Facebook worth more than Portugal? Hell, it's worth a LOT more than THAT
Worstall on Wednesday
As an esteemed editor said, one not a million miles away from here, the fact that Facebook has commissioned a report showing what vast amounts of wonderful, beneficial economic activity it is responsible for indicates that the company in fact contributes nothing. Stands to reason, that does. And even once one allows for a …
'It's NOT FAIR!' yell RICH KIDS ... and that's a GOOD THING
Worstall @ the Weekend
Having the Daily Mail as a starting point to the edges of human knowledge doesn't sound all that likely, I know, not unless we're talking about approaching human knowledge from the outside of a story about "foreign" pomegranates causing cancers and damaging house prices. But that is how this little journey started, with this …
What will happen to the oil price? Look to the PC for clues

Economics, of course, is simply a bunch of mumbo-jumbo – as evidenced by its failure to answer the Queen's question regarding the crash: "Why did nobody see it coming?"

Tax Systems: The good, the bad and the completely toot toot ding-dong loopy
Worstall @ the Weekend
A loyal reader of these 'ere pages, Rich Bryant, writes in with an interesting question. There's a proposal for an entirely new taxation system out there, The Reset, and is it something that mainstream economists are ignoring because the paradigms of mainstream economics just cannot deal with it - or is it because the plan is …
Sardine fishing in Kerala: Who benefits from mobile phones?
Worstall on Wednesday
We're now 30 years into the mobile phone era here in Good Old Blighty, with that first call having been made back on New Year's Day. And it's worth asking who has really benefited from this technology: something which, when considered, will lead us to being able to tell big government fan Professor Mariana Mazzucato to take a …
Healthcare: Look anywhere you like for answers, just not the US
Worstall @ the Weekend
A few weeks back I pointed out that the US has the second largest social welfare system in the world. This produced a certain amount of pushback (journalistic speak for me whining to El Ed that you commentards are shouting at me) over the fact that a good part of that is the woeful healthcare system in said US.
So, as the New …
Really, govt tech profit cash grab is a PRIZE-WINNING idea?
Worstall on Wednesday
So, that favourite of mine and of Andrew Orlowski, Mariana Mazzucato, has been awarded a prize by the New Statesman in the field of political economy.
Given that her message is that government should be getting more of the pie, that's the sort of political economy you would expect the magazine to like. However, I find there's a …
Why has the Russian economy plunged SO SUDDENLY into the toilet?
Worstall @Xmas
The best economic fun of the past few weeks has been watching the meltdown of the rouble and the associated problems in the Russian economy. OK, "fun" might not be quite the right word: schadenfreude, perhaps?
Real people are undoubtedly, through no fault of their own, being made worse off by what is happening - so fun is almost …
Xiaomi: It really ISN'T a biz-miracle idiot tax like Apple
Worstall on Wednesday
The lads over at Business Insider seem to be getting a little over-excited about Xiaomi's latest fund raising exercise, claiming in their headline that it's the Apple of China. Well, no, not really, Apple is the Apple of China. Making cute kit and selling it in volume isn't the definitive point about Apple itself so a company …
Bring back big gov, right? If only the economics, STUPID, could tell us more
Worstall @ the Weekend
The economy's not growing as fast as it used to when we had big government and big unions, so we'd better bring them back, right? Or maybe we just don't have enough economic data to tell?
You don't have to go all that far leftward these days to find someone brandishing economic growth statistics at you. Proving that growth was …
Apple's DIRTY SECRET isn't that secret, or that dirty
We've had another instalment in the campaign to blame Apple for all that goes wrong in poor countries, and this time it was the BBC's Panorama that scolded the iFruit for buying tin in Indonesia.
Not appreciably different from The Guardian's story of 25 months ago. Not really all that different from various Friends of the Earth …
Beware of merging, telcos. CHEAPER SPECTRUM follows
Worstall on Wednesday
What consumers end up paying for mobile phone services isn't the only price we're worried about.
Oh aye, thought I, as I scanned El Reg's coverage of mobile operators asking for permission to merge. I can see their game here: or, perhaps, I suspect what they'd rather we didn't think about.
That being that what we, as consumers …
Deprivation Britain: 1930s all over again? Codswallop!
Worstall @ the Weekend
When cruising The Guardian for a fix of poverty porn, as I tend to do from time to time, I'm frequently amused by what some people will believe about the subject. This time I have to admit to having been amazed. For we've the flat-out assertion that we're about to be back in the 1930s.
In some ways this might even be true: there …
Uber? Worth $40 BEEELLION? Hey, actually, hold on ...
Worstall on Wednesday
The latest fundraising for Uber seems to peg the value just north of $40 billion. Which is, when you think about it, quite a hefty sum for what is, after all, just a registry of hireable people with cars.
Sure, we're talking 50 countries now, 250 cities, but it's still about taxi rides. And it's a competitive market. There're …
Which country has 2nd largest social welfare system in the world?
Worstall @ the Weekend
The general impression we've all got is that the US is a place where the poor are simply left to starve in the gutter, unlike in soft and cuddly Europe, where we do our best to help our fellow man.
That the political mantras shouted at us to keep us coughing up to pay for these welfare states might not be wholly and entirely …
Is EU right to expand 'right to be forgotten' to Google.com?
Worstall on Wednesday
The European Union is arguing that the so-called "right to be forgotten" (you know, sure, I was a paedophile mass murderer but it was only the once and I've been to confession now so nobody should know about it) in Google and other search engine results should be extended to the Google.com domain, as well as those aimed more …
Under the Iron Sea: YES, tech and science could SAVE the planet
Worstall @ the Weekend
Back last week we had the news from Google bods (almost but not quite boffins) telling us there's no way to make renewable energy fuel in an advanced industrial society.
Our esteemed editor here at El Reg then pointed out that we've got a reasonable and cheap method of producing all the power we need: nuclear. The frustration …
As-a-service upstarts will KILL OFF THE CORPORATES?
Worstall on Wednesday
Amazingly, economists have figured out a few things...even things that can help in this brave new digital world. One of these is the "marketplaces vs firm" debate.
So I was surprised to find a fascinating little piece in TechCrunch singing the praises of all those "online freelance work marketplace" sites. You know the sort of …
BIG FAT Lies: Porky Pies about obesity

I often wonder why it is that people bother publishing "research" papers that are obviously incorrect. Is it that they're getting paid to spout bollocks?

'Cleantech' a dirty word for VCs? RUBBISH!

Over at Bloomberg there's a piece bemoaning the fact that the big Venture Capital companies aren't investing in "cleantech".

GT sapphire glaziers: You signed WHAT deal with Apple?

It's been a terribly exciting few weeks, as we've seen GT Advanced Technologies (GTAT) stumble and crash headlong into bankruptcy protection. The more documents are released by the court the more we can find out about just how this happened.
And the more we do see, the more we realise that what actually happened is the …

If only 0.006% care about BLOOD-SOAKED METAL ... why are we spending all this cash?
Worstall @ the Weekend
As El Reg's official dodgy metals dealer, another tilt at the oh-so-fashionable concerns over conflict minerals and that "blood in the mobile" campaign. The essential point is that almost none of us seem to be very interested in the subject so why the hell are we spending billions of dollars on it?
You can read past coverage of …
Trickle-down economics WORKS: SpaceShipTwo is a PRIME EXAMPLE

For the sake of my expenditure on blood pressure pills I really ought to stop reading those attempts The Guardian sometimes makes at making sense of matters economic.

Piketty-Poketty-Poo: Some people are JUST ITCHING to up tax to capital ...
Worstall @ the Weekend
I'll cop to being a bear of little brain, for it can take me a long time to spot what should be obvious. And so it is with my taking so long to work out what's really going on with Capital in the Twenty-First Century author Thomas Piketty and all that wealth inequality stuff.
I believe his book is essentially a political project …
IT JOB OUTSOURCING: Will it ever END?
Worstall on Wednesday
HL Mencken once told us that in a democracy the electorate should get what they voted for – and good and hard too. So, on that basis, I present to you a piece on outsourcing, as requested by one Gordon 10.
The commenter in question wrote:
What would be really nice is [an article] on the race to the bottom on labour outsourcing …
This Changes Everything? OH Naomi Klein, NO
Worstall @ the Weekend
Given that I'm from the rational, classical end of liberalism, I'm obviously not going to be greatly taken by the spoutings of someone like Naomi Klein. But if an ideological difference were all it was, then I'd have left her new book, This Changes Everything alone after I'd read it.
Sadly, it's not actually as simple as that, …
It's Big, it's Blue... it's simply FABLESS! IBM's chip-free future
Worstall on Wednesday
IBM has coughed up $1.5bn to get Global Foundries to take its chip manufacturing arm off its hands as reported here at El Reg.
There are a number of economic implications to all of this, perhaps the most important of which is why the eco-lunatic fantasy that we could reverse globalisation is simply nonsense (of course, whether …
Happiness economics is bollocks. Oh, UK.gov just adopted it? Er ...
Worstall @ the Weekend
As is ever the case, by the time squares have caught on to the value of whatever hipsters have been doing this week, the latter are off doing something else entirely. Much the same happens with economic fashions: it takes time for those not actually involved in the subject to grok to what the cool kids are saying and by the time …
'Theoretical' Nobel economics explain WHY the tech industry's such a damned mess
Worstall on Wednesday
Jean Tirole was this year's Nobel Laureate in Economics* and what the prize was awarded (in part) for should interest people around here. Tirole's work has often been about how this tech industry of ours works and what the hell anyone should be doing to try and regulate it – if, indeed, it should be regulated at all.
This is …
White LED lies: It's great, but Nobel physics prize-winning great?
Worstall @ the Weekend
This year's Nobel Prize in Physics went to the three Japanese guys who worked on, and got right, the blue LED. It's an excellent piece of work, enabling a whole new ensemble of energy efficient lamps and colour LED screens, and fully deserving of the prize. And yes, it might well change society in wondrous and wonderful ways. …
Yes. Economists DO love MAGICAL, lovely HUMAN SELFISHNESS...
Worstall on Wednesday
Over the weekend we were treated to the quite startling news that economists think that selfishness is just great.
TheOtherHobbes had this to say in the comments section of a Reg opinion piece about consumerism:
Economists actually believe – no really, they do – that if you allow people to be selfish then everything magically …
No, Big Data firm, the UK isn't teeming with UBER-FRISKY GIGOLOS
Worstall @ the Weekend
You may or may not have seen that the government has decided that GDP, the measurement of the size of the economy, should now include the activity surrounding drugs and prostitution. We can now assuage our guilt at that quick shag and a toke on the way home with the thought that we are, in fact, making the country richer as we …
Want to see the back of fossil fuels? Calm down, hippies. CAPITALISM has an answer

It's a distinctly lonely intellectual position to have — agreeing with the IPCC that climate change is a problem, one we're causing, and something that we might want to do something about but thinking that we've probably already done what we needed to do.

Inequality increasing? BOLLOCKS! You heard me: 'Screw the 1%'
Worstall @ Weekend
You can't have failed to notice those massed ranks of people stamping their feet and going blue in the face as they shout about how inequality is rising and something, anything, really must be done to stop it. However, you may not have noticed those arguing the opposite, that inequality is falling, which is why we should carry …
Yahoo!... Our Alibaba stake's worth BILLIONS. Oh – our shares are in the toilet
Worstall on Wednesday
So here's the little financial markets puzzler of the moment. Alibaba has launched that IPO, the stock has soared and Yahoo! has made a bundle. Jerry Yang's original investment of $1bn now looks like one of the great investment deals of all time. However, as the Alibaba stock price soared (from the $68 of the placing to some $99 …
Poverty? Pah. That doesn't REALLY exist any more
Worstall @ the Weekend
It's a bit of a surprise to find The Guardian, of all places, telling us that there's not actually any poverty in the UK today. But John Lanchester makes that case in the country's leading tax dodging publication. And the lovely thing about it is that he's entirely correct.
We've not got, by any global or historical standard, …
Will Apple give Chinese iPhone workers cancer? THE TRUTH
Worstall on Wednesday
Last weekend's headlines screamed that Chinese workers making Apple's iPhone 6 were developing cancer. Is Apple's greed for ever-greater profits literally killing its Middle Kingdom wage slaves?
No. Or as we might alternatively put it, nothing much to see here, move along folks.

Zee Media Bureau/Ajith Vijay Kumar
New Delhi: Hitting out at the Congress-led UPA government, the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday accused it of inaction to bring the guilty in the AugustaWestland bribery case to justice.
"The beneficiary country of VVIP deal arrested the middle man Haschke but GOI is not arresting the middlemen whose names are now available (sic)," party spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said.
"Govt has received all info & docs from Italian govt & court. Still it is not acting & saying that there is difficulty in translating the docs, why the Congress led UPA government should find it difficult in translating the VVIP chopper docs from Italian to English? (sic)," he added.
Javadekar's comments came after key middleman in the deal worth Rs.3,600-crore to sell high-end 12 AW 101 choppers to the Indian government, Guido Ralph Haschke, was arrested in Switzerland. Haschke is likely to be deported to Italy to face corruption charges.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is also probing the controversial deal and has filed an FIR against 13 individuals which includes Guido Haschke. Former IAF chief SP Tyagi, his cousins Sanjeev alias Julie, Rajeev alias Docsa and Sandeep, European middlemen Carlo Gerosa and Christian Michel are among 13 individuals named in the CBI FIR as accused.
