Who started the Cold War? For the first two decades after it began, the answer seemed obvious: Stalin's Soviet Union was responsible for dismantling the wartime alliance against Hitler as soon as World War II was over and deliberately launching a costly struggle for global supremacy between communism and capitalism. Then, in the late 1960s, a revisionism set in among Western academics and intellectuals who attempted to absolve the Russians and—in the spirit of time—place the blame on Presidents Truman and Eisenhower, NATO, the CIA and America's "military-industrial complex."


 

Pelosi Calls For Constitutional Abrogation Of The Debt Ceiling

"This isn't just about credit ratings, it's about the dynamism of our economy." 

 

 

 

With its savvy application of feedback loops, though, GreenGoose is onto more than just the latest fad. The company represents the fruition of a long-promised technological event horizon: the Internet of Things, in which a sensor-rich world measures our every action.






(Bloomberg) -- Japan Airlines Corp., Asia's largest carrier, may dissolve its pension fund if retirees reject a proposed 30 percent cut in payouts, ...



Worth noting is that the Cabinet was nearly completely absolved of any responsibility for the major crises confronting Taiwan, with only 3 percent of respondents casting blame its way. Another 10 percent chose the "other" category, including 4.7 percent attributing the country's ills to former president Chen Shui-bian, likely the result of the excessive exposure given to the money laundering and corruption allegations against him and his family.

The significant number of people who hold the current president accountable for the problems cited above indicate that Taiwanese citizens have higher expectations of him than they do the Cabinet. Ma often stresses that Taiwan has a "double executive" political system, and has delegated authority for economic and domestic affairs to the Cabinet. Ma's attempt to strictly follow constitutional guidelines, however, has not mitigated expectations of him on the part of the public, who see Taiwan's constitutional form of government as a presidential system.

有趣的是，認為行政院得為上述危機負責的比例僅三％。此外，回答「其他」選項者有一三．一％，這其中有四．七％的人認為陳水扁要為此負責。這可能與其家族 涉嫌貪污事件，佔據太多社會的注意力有關。認為總統要負責的高比重，則顯示人民對總統的期待遠高於對行政院的期待。馬英九經常強調台灣是雙首長制，因而授 權行政院處理經濟與內政議題，但調查顯示，人民不因此減少對總統的期待，人民對憲政的認知較接近總統制。



Germany has agreed to forgive 40 million euros of Pakistan's debt in exchange for an agreement from the government to pour half the money into health programmes. The deal between the two nations and a global fund to fight illnesses was signed on the sidelines of a UN conference in Doha on financing development. The agreement is part of a programme launched in 2007 offering debt relief to countries that agree to invest in health programmes. Berlin made a similar agreement with Indonesia last year.


These days, commercial victory on the Internet is all about scale, and Mr. Varsavsky, a 48-year-old from Argentina, can be forgiven for speaking longingly and in detail about his peers’ achievements. No stranger to success — he has had a tidy crop of new media and telecommunications hits since the 1990s — he is still struggling to bring his newest Internet venture to fruition.

Debet enim miserè cui fortè aegréque futurum est,*

Ipse quoque esse in eo tum tempore, cùm male possit Accidere.

For it is necessary sure that he,

Who for the future wretched is to be,

Should then be by himself inhabited,

That the events of Fate been frustrated;

But that the ills, he threatned is withall,

Should rightly in their due appointment fall.

Security, indolency, impassibility, and the privation of the evils of life, which we pretend to purchase at the price of dying, are of no manner of advantage to us. That man evades war to very little purpose, that can have no fruition of peace; and as impertinently does he avoid labour and toile, who cannot enjoy re∣pose.
