Is the Recession U shaped?
On a day when the unemployment rate spikes by half a percentage point, we may be past questioning whether a recession in the U.S. is here. A month ago, Noriel Roubini framed the question smartly:In principle, the US recession could end up being shaped like a V, U, W, or L. Which of these four scenarios is most likely? The current consensus is that the recession will be V-shaped – short and shallow – and thus similar to the US recessions in 1990-91 and 2001, which lasted eight months each. Most analysts forecast that GDP will contract in the first half of 2008 and recover in the second half of the year. I expect a longer and deeper U-shaped recession, lasting at least 12 months and possibly as long as 18 months – one of the most severe US recessions in decades – because today’s macroeconomic and financial conditions are far worse. Now on the spectrum of macroeconomic analysis, growth sits on the long-term end of the spectrum, whereas recession-watching is on the short-term end. This is my way of saying, growthology.org really shouldn’t be commenting on the recession stuff ... too small ball. So here’s my justification:
I’ve published on this topic recently. My little model - the employment recession indicator – says the recession probability is in the 50% range. It will go higher (and I’ll believe the recession has spread from financial markets to the real economy) once initial jobless claims rise above 400,000 consistently and unemployment goes to 6.0%. That may happen soon, and when it does, count me among the bears. But UI claims remain too low for a recession, and they tend to be early warning signals.
The specter of the Great Depression haunts any public conversation about economics, which includes this blog. And lest we forget, momentous shifts in popular and professional thinking occurred during the 1930s. In particular, the breakthrough work of our patron saint (Joseph Schumpeter) was notoriously overshadowed by the breakthrough work of JM Keynes.
I dislike historical parallels such as “This recession has signs of becoming another great depression” because (here’s a Kane mantra) Growth Trumps All Historical Parallels.
No, America is not analogous to a new Roman Empire. No, the housing meltdown is not akin to 1929’s great crash. Technological dynamism makes modernity so different from previous eras that no parallel really works. To clarify the larger posturing, ask yourself this: what is more important to contemporary affairs: hegemony, terrorism, or technology? Answer: technology. What’s a bigger deal in the sweep of history: asset bubbles or technology? Answer: technology. Point being, I doubt the upcoming political debate of 2008 - which will focus on short-term economics and the War on Terror - will address the most important issue of technology acceleration and its implications. Remember when the NASDAQ crashed and the media said, “The New Economy Was an Illusion.” They were wrong. The Internet’s still here, folks, bigger than ever. The bottom line is that changes wrought by technology are VERY real, with both good and bad consequences. It is the topic that no grand strategist, or politician, or pundit should be allowed to ignore. Now, Roubini might agree with me on all that. But I was still skeptical about the recession ever being called, until this morning's employment report. My best guess remains that it won’t be V or U or L or W shaped. I’m looking for letters on my keyboard to represent my prediction. Ah, here it is: 0 (as in null set) I think aggressive Fed action on interest rates will be very effective in the short term (albeit inflationary). I doubt housing assets have declined enough to shake the lifecycle consumption smoothing habits of Americans, meaning GDP and the real economy will stagnate but not recess. I do worry about oil prices, but anticipate/hope/pray for that commodity speculation to pop. And ultimately, I think innovative entrepreneurship and consequently potential GDP are accelerating. My worst case scenario has a deep U-shaped recession that masks productivity growth for a year or two, followed by a booming catch-up to potential GDP in 2010-12 ... plus lots of inflation.

That is why we people should also help to work this out. We should not all put this to the government's shoulder. We made up the community, we can do more if we are together. Simple things. Obeying the law and being a disciplined individual will lessen the government's problem. The lesser the government's other concern, the more they can concentrate to the economic problem.

Red panda, sisnoo soup and a volleyball tournament
The famous Nepali poet Laxmi Prasad Devkota described Nepal as “Sundaar, Shanta, Bishal”- beautiful, peaceful and huge or ‘endless’. If you wish to experience the words of the famous poet, pick up your bag, put on your walking shoes and set out towards Langtang National Park. The pristine forest, the clear rivers, waterfalls and lakes, the colourful flowers, wildlife and birds, make every step you take worth while. Add to this the food, the local drinks, the music and cultural dances, the monasteries and the chortens and you will forget the effort you put in to get to these amazing sites. It is also a perfect venue to launch the “academic trek” in which people can get a real exposure to climate change, its impact, adaptation strategies and mitigation measures. Portions of the trail we walked on could be part of the proposed Great Himalayan Trail (GHT) that has been designed not just as a tourism product but will serve to provide connectivity for all settlements at the foothills of the Himalayas. It will form an integral part of Nepal’s adaptation plan against climate change.
All renewables- solar and hydro
At each of the lodges and tea houses that we had our meals or spent the night, there was either solar power or clean hydro power. The area is fortunate to have three hydro power plants- Devighat, Trishuli and the Chilime with potential for many more. The world is today putting out ninety million tones of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each day. Under normal conditions, the atmosphere should contain only 350 parts per million of carbon dioxide, but today has reached 387.  Rasuwa district can easily become renewable energy self sufficient and ‘sell’ the surplus to Kathmandu and launch a domestic carbon trade mechanism. As it takes a lot of human effort to move goods up and down the slopes of Rasuwa, electricity powered ropeways can be a real possibility here. Biogas plants are also getting popular in the villages in the south of the district.
Red, white and blue
Each day we saw red and white rhododendron flowers along the trail against the clear blue sky. It did rain and it did snow, but it cleared up quickly to give us spectacular views of the flora and landscape of the area. Red, white and blue are the colors that make up the Nepali national flag and it is Nepal Tourism year. We all carried the flag, sticking out of each of our backpacks as we climbed up and walked down the slopes of the Himalayas. Recently there has been some debate as to whether we should change the flag. As you walk through Langtang, the blue becomes the sky and the numerous rivers, the white becomes the purity of the glaciers and the rhododendron, the red is the rhododendron and the blood of the entrepreneurial spirit of the people; and as long as the sun and moon comes up each day over the ridge to the east, this country will be there. The first night of our trek, we were greeted by a full moon.  Red, blue and white also make up the flag of the USA whose 60 years in Nepal we were celebrating.
Climate change
The theme of the trek was to observe the impact of climate change and to see what efforts were underway to help and enable local people to adapt to these changes. We all had mixed feelings at the end of the trek. On the one hand climate change and its effects were real. We heard of changing rainfall patterns to new species of plants that were killing local livestock. We were told about change in habitat for local endangered species of flora and fauna and the unreliability of water supplies from traditional sources. A local woman had even composed a poem about climate change. What was really heart warming was to see how local communities had begun to create a seed bank to protect local gene varieties of crops. We saw how renewable energy sources were being harnessed to reduce pressure on the local forest such as biogas. We were delighted to see so much production of ‘organic’ food and to meet young people who were well educated about the complexity of climate change.
Trout and strawberry
Rural Nepali villages, are not just about maize and soybeans or millet and buckwheat anymore, but have created good food out of local stingy nettle or “sisnoo.” When prepared and served in style, the local dish can be quite a delight. Further, it is also a pleasant surprise to see so many framers have begun strawberry farming in the area. Others are big into the Himalayan Rainbow Trout farming. The people are so enterprising and will do well against all odds. One does see “ready made noodles” of different brands everywhere along with carbonated drinks. We do not need to do much except give the trekker a choice and educate them about the value creation in the local economy if we eat local food. The milk and the cheese of the local areas are of really good quality. Everywhere we also had yogurt, alcoholic drinks made from locally grown millet which were offered as a welcome gesture in silver decorated cups and served from traditional decanters.
60 years and 50 years
The people of the United States of America have been helping the people of Nepal for sixty years now. The US Agency for International Development USAID has helped so many Nepalis to acquire higher education and various trainings. World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has been helping protect Nepal’s globally unique flora and fauna for fifty years. The green hike, green planet trek was part of these anniversary celebrations. The American people have given so much to Nepal including highways, higher education institutes, ropeways, and so much more.  WWF has helped Nepal become a global leader in conservation of rich flora and fauna. Both deserve our gratitude and commitment to do more for ourselves as Nepalis. We need to take ownership of our challenges and begin to become proactive. Climate change, adaptation and mitigation could very well be an area where Nepal could take the lead. We watched the final game of a local volleyball tournament and gave away the WWF sponsored Red Panda Trophy and medals to the winning team!
Rasuwa Gaddi to Galchi
The trade volume between India and China in 2008 had exceeded a value of US $ 50 billion. The question that many ask is, can this go through Nepal? We do need to be organized if Nepal is going to take advantage of this instead of just a handful of “clever people” as in the past. The Rasuwa Gaddhi to Galchi highway is nearing completion with support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB). We drove back along this road and began a conversation centered around how this may serve as a green corridor between Nepal and Tibet, China that will enhance conservation and management of natural resources. Local people in Rasuwa aspire to send fresh “organic” food each day into Tibet. There is talk of a “green special economic zone” in the area as well. We have to make sure that illegal wildlife body parts do not travel on this road. We must also ensure that the “clean” river that currently flows along the highway does not suffer the same fate as others in the past.
Just do it
Langtang is waiting for you. There cannot be an excuse not to go enjoy and pamper yourself. It is a good place to mix work and holiday as well. Over the next weeks and months, many pilgrims will be going up to Gosaikunda. Choose when and how you want to go, but do go!

India's Floods: An Overview
first published: Sept. 14, 2006 – Gospel for Asia
The record flooding that hit India this year, causing widespread destruction and loss of life and affecting the missionary work of Gospel for Asia and other organizations, is a result of an annual meteorological event—the Southwest Monsoon.
This seasonal incident and its accompanying rains are both a blessing and a bane to the Indian Subcontinent, whose largely agricultural workforce depends on the monsoon for approximately 90 percent of its water supply.
“Too much rain, or too little,” says BBC meteorologist Bill Giles, “means the difference between flood and famine.”
One Gospel for Asia correspondent reported on what “too much” looked like to a GFA survey team in one devastated region of Central India:
“Thousands of people dead, families rendered homeless as their houses were swept away, cattle drowned, crops totally rooted out, villages submerged under the flood waters-and electricity, drinking water and communications systems totally failed.”
The floods have affected an especially large region of the country this year, stretching from Gujurat in the east to Nagaland in the west, and from Jammu & Kashmir in the north to southern Karnataka.
Rajasthan
India’s western state of Rajasthan is known for its deserts, but over the last two weeks, vast areas of this region have been flooded. In a three-day period, Barmar district near Pakistan received 22.7 inches (57.7 cm) of rain—more than double its annual average. Over 800,000 in this region alone have been affected by the floods.
Assam
This northeast Indian state forms a large part of the drainage system for the massive Brahmaputra River and its tributaries, which in flood stage often cut villages off from transportation, electricity and phone communication for weeks.
“Normal life in these areas has been greatly affected,” said a GFA field correspondent, who reported that hundreds of pastors and church members suffered heavy damage and property loss. “We are struggling to recover.”
Gujarat
Water covered up to half of Surat, Gujarat’s “Diamond City,” and affected an estimated 3.2 million people as a result of the heavy rains that fell in August. Much of the state is still under the threat of flooding, with several rivers at or above flood stage.
Maharashtra
Flash floods in this state swept away sections of railway line, submerged bridges and closed major highways. Low-lying areas in cities such as Nagpur and Mumbai were also affected, especially bringing suffering to the slum-dwellers and others with already inadequate shelter. Some homes, saturated with water, have collapsed, killing the residents inside.
Andhra Pradesh
The consequences of the heavy rainfall severely impacted residents in thousands of villages in this state. With water levels in reservoirs rising dangerously, officials were forced to release millions of gallons of water into the already flooded rivers. Then, a tropical depression that formed in the Bay of Bengal caused more heavy rainfall for four straight days.
Two Koya tribal villages were completely wiped out when the Sabari and Seeleru Rivers rose 12 feet above their banks and swept through the communities. Villagers ran for a nearby hill as the rivers washed away their belongings and completely destroyed all 260 mud-and-bamboo homes. They waited for two days, without food or water, before aid arrived.
Madhya Pradesh
Some villagers were stranded after floods cut them off from roads and nearby towns. The city of Bhopal experienced rainfall of 35.4 inches (90 cm) in just one night, breaking a record of 30.31 inches (77 cm) set in 1973. A girl was killed and six people injured when a tree fell on the group due to the heavy rains.
Chhattisgarh
Widespread rainfall has pounded the state and flood waters have overflowed at least one dam, causing further flooding downstream. In one district, 60 houses were completely isolated by the waters.
Orissa
The threat of more rain came from the same tropical depression affecting Andhra Pradesh, and fishermen were cautioned to remain at home due to dangerously rough seas. Several rivers overflowed their banks and inundated large areas, and one city recorded rainfall of 6.7 inches (17 cm) in a 24-hour period.
Jammu & Kashmir
A mountainous state, Jammu & Kashmir has not only experienced its share of floods, but landslides as well. As a result, residents faced transportation problems with stretches of highway either being under water, blocked or caved in. Twenty deaths were reported in the state, primarily from houses collapsing, and thousands of other homes were damaged.
Monsoon Predictable? To a Point
The word “monsoon” comes from an Arabic word meaning “season,” and was first used in the 16th century by Portuguese and Dutch traders sailing the spice route to India. It refers to the seasonal wind pattern change that occurs over the Subcontinent: First, the land heats up during the first months of the year; then, as the hot air rises, moist air from the Indian Ocean blows in from the southwest to take its place, bringing heavy rainfall.
Rains from the yearly Southwest Monsoon generally begin in southern India around June 1 and spread northwest through June and July. The rains start to abate from the northwest in September and retreat to the southeast, leaving the Subcontinent around the middle of October. But though the arrival and departure of the monsoon season can be forecast relatively accurately, what is not predictable each year is the intensity of the rainfall.
This has been the case for the 2006 monsoon, which has caused the loss of more than 2,000 lives and the displacement of millions all across the nation of India

A modern, user-friendly, good value and surprisingly powerful
PC Photography package.
Photoshop is so dominant that it has almost come to define its field
- but it's certainly not the right photo editor for every user. To begin
with it's expensive and its high-end power is overkill for the average
home user. More importantly, for this largest market of all, Photoshop
fails to provide any functionality in the most important area of all -
dedicated handling of digital camera images. While Paint Shop Pro (see
page ) tries to match Photoshop's functionality across the board at a
budget price, MGI PhotoSuite has instead chosen to try and fill the gap
by targeting the more focused needs of the home photographer.
It's not just PhotoSuite's intended use that is so different. While Paint Shop Pro slavishly tries to copy the traditional Photoshop-style interface,
PhotoSuite breaks new ground. Running down the left-hand side of the screen
is the Activity panel which provides guided assistance to all commands
and tools, while across the top of the screen is the navigation bar with
buttons for accessing the program's seven main modules - Get, Prepare,
Compose, Organize, Share, Print and Browse. In many ways using the program
is like visiting a well-structured and well thought-through Web site.
This shouldn't be too surprising as PhotoSuite is actually built on an
embedded version of Internet Explorer 5.
The first of the PhotoSuite modules is Get which is used to access your
images from your computer or scanner or digital camera. The number of
cameras PhotoSuite 4 supports directly - Agfa, Epson, Kodak and Olympus
- has been increased, but you should be able to access most models through
the generic TWAIN interface. One limitation, especially compared to Paint Shop Pro's excellent image browser, is that the standard Open dialog can
only show one image preview at a time. MGI has thrown in a simple standalone
Viewer utility to help you quickly identify files but again this is restricted
to showing single images.
This is disappointing, but PhotoSuite makes up for it with its Organize
module. This lets you store multiple image thumbnails in named albums-
ideal for handling all your holiday or product shots for example. It takes
a little work to set up compared to Paint Shop Pro's instant browsing,
but it offers more power. To begin with you can add keywords for searching
and sorting. More importantly, albums can be used as the basis for slideshows,
printing and Web display.
PhotoSuite specializes in dealing with sets of images
- ideal for PC Photography.
Albums also come into their own in the Prepare module as their images
can be displayed in the Library panel down the right hand side of the
screen and dragged and dropped onto the central image window for editing.
The Prepare module is itself split into separate modules, such as Rotate
and Crop, TouchUp and Paint and Draw, to cover all editing tasks. The
level of power on offer isn't quite up to Paint Shop Pro levels, but more
users will feel comfortable with PhotoSuite's simple Brightness/Contrast,
Gamma, Fix Colour and Image Enhance commands than with Paint Shop Pro's
histogram adjustments and technical filters.
In terms of new power the Prepare module sees four main enhancements.
The first is the introduction of the Photo Sprayer tool. This is a pretty
typical image hose used for spraying bitmap objects, such as flowers and
butterflies, onto your image. Again the control on offer is surprisingly
advanced with customisable size, spread and opacity and you can also create
your own nozzles. The second is a reworking of the existing PhotoTapestry
effect. This takes an image and recreates it as a series of tiles based
on the collection of 30,000 supplied thumbnails. Now you can add your
own image to the tile set or create a new set from scratch - though this
is only practical if you have plenty of images and plenty of disk space!
Much the most impressive new feature is the complete overhaul of PhotoSuite's
Stitching capabilities based on PhotoVista technology MGI acquired from
LivePicture. Now you can create seamless panoramas simply by dragging
up to 48 images onto the main image window, roughly positioning them and
then selecting your camera lens type. You can even choose to create 360-degree
immersive panoramas. Generally the process is simple and the results are
impressive and you could easily expect to pay more for less powerful dedicated
stitching software.
The Stitching feature is excellent for building up
panoramas.
The fourth new editing advance is the improvement in what PhotoSuite
calls its "cut-out" handling. Essentially a cut-out is any selection of
the image that you make using the various marquee, magic wand and edge
finder tools and then float above the underlying image. Now cut-outs can
be stored by quickly sending them to the Library or by saving them to
file. You can also now change the edge fading and the overall opacity
of the cut-out to make it seem a more integral part of the underlying
image.
This is undoubtedly a step forward but PhotoSuite definitely
isn't the right program for producing advanced layer-based compositions.
Instead its cut-outs are better seen as object-based props and indeed
PhotoSuite provides a selection of props, such as hats and hair, for producing
photo-based projects in its Compose module. The obvious use is for producing
humorous cards and generally having a bit of fun but, amongst its selection
of over 1200 templates, PhotoSuite also includes some high-resolution
business options for producing calendars, posters, business cards and
so on.
The Compose module offers thousands of photo-based
projects.
Once you've finished preparing your photo or your project, the next step
is to let others see it. The traditional approach to this is catered for
with PhotoSuite's Print module. This offers a print preview in which you
can size and position your image either automatically or interactively.
Alternatively using the enhanced Print Multiple command you can print
multiple copies of the same image on the same page - important when photo-quality
paper is so expensive. As well as generic layouts PhotoSuite now provides
layouts designed for Kodak and Avery stock, but there's still no option
to create your own layout or to print different images on the same page.
Alternatively you can cut out the need for paper completely
with the Share module. This lets you turn albums into slideshows complete
with full control over timings and transitions. You can also add sound
and PhotoSuite 4 now supports MP3. If the person you want to show your
photos to isn't actually present you can use PhotoSuite's e-mail capability.
This lets you send individual or multiple files and lets you automatically
convert images to JPEG with the option of specifying a desired size. You
can even choose to send slideshows complete with an embedded player. Alternatively
for the widest possible access you can post your images to GatherRound.com.
The Share module lets you create advanced slideshows
which can be sent as email.
Web access of this sort is increasingly important and PhotoSuite's Share
module offers two new dedicated Web commands. The first is the Animated GIF command that lets you create and edit simple bitmap-based animations
for inclusion on your Web page. Like the slideshow feature this is based
on a storyline under the main image window where you can drag frames and
set up transitions. This is effective for slideshow-style effects but
useless for others such as motion-based animation. Here you have to edit
individual frames and trying to swap between Share and Prepare modules
soon becomes a major headache.
The second new command lets you output image albums or selected images
as Web pages. This support is based on the use of pre-designed templates
that you can customise to add your own titles, captions and dates. You
can also add or delete any object on the page, which is just as well as
the default designs are pretty awful with horrendous backgrounds and distracting
animated GIFs. Once you've customised a template, however, the end results
are generally impressive though I would have preferred some simpler templates
based on a thumbnail index and full-size image pages rather than the combined
slideshow pages.
Web templates can be customised - which is just as
well.
All told PhotoSuite's Web capabilities are a mixed bag with advanced
features in some areas and surprising weaknesses in others. In particular
the omission of any serious JPEG and GIF optimisation control is bizarre
- why would you want to produce animated GIFs but not ordinary optimised
GIFs? Hopefully PhotoSuite 5 will include a dedicated Save for Web dialog
with in-built preview and advanced JPEG and GIF control. In the meantime
budget users for whom Web imaging is important might well want to hold
off to see what the imminent release of the Web-oriented PhotoImpact 6
offers.
PhotoSuite's mixed Web-imaging capabilities are particularly strange
as otherwise the program has completely embraced the Net. In particular
PhotoSuite's final module, Browse, takes advantage of its underlying browser-based
architecture to let you surf the Net from within the application! This
lets you drag and drop images directly from the Web onto your library
- copyright permitting. Via the dedicated PhotoSuite web site you can
also access extra content, new project templates, additional filters,
online tutorials and so on - all of which become a seamless part of the
existing program.
This is impressive stuff and MGI is leading the way when it comes to
merging computer and Web, application and content. There is a downside
to PhotoSuite's browser-based approach, however, in that the program can
sometimes seem unresponsive and really requires a speedy system to feel
comfortable. Other possible reasons for looking elsewhere include the
lack of advanced features such as vector, channel and layer-based editing.
It's certainly true that you get more all-round power with a traditional
application like Paint Shop Pro

Early Years
Lima was born on Nov. 26, 1981, in Versailles, France. His parents introduced him to golf at early age, and he hit his first golf balls as a 2-year-old growing up on the course at the Saint-Nom-la-Breteche Golf Club, the home course of the Trophee Lancome golf tournament. His first golf club was made by his father, who had a large influence on teaching him the game in his early years.
Beginning in Golf
Though both parents are Portuguese, Lima and his family spent his early years in France. He entered formal golf training when he attended the golf school at Saint-Nom-la-Breteche as a 7-year-old. It was at this point that his interest in golf escalated to a true passion, and he and his parents began to focus much of his time on the sport.
Early Career
By the end of 2001, the 20-year-old Lima had escalated his game to the top spot on the French amateur scene. He turned professional early the following year for the beginning of the season. He golfed for France for the first three years of his career, using the name Jose Filipe. His first professional post was on the Alps Tour in central Europe, where he moved up to the No. 4
ranking by the next year.
Success
His high ranking in the Alps Tour earned him a spot on the more-coveted Challenger Tour for the beginning of the 2004 season. Though he had success on the Alps Tour, he gained his first tournament win at the Segura Viudas Challenge of Spain. Soon after he began to represent Portugal, instead of France, on the tour and re-adopted his birth name. He went on to win the AA St. Amer Open in 2004.
Rise in the World Rankings
After his 2004 success, Lima rose to be the 73rd-ranked player in the European Tour classification and became the highest-ranked Portuguese player ever in 2005. His play in two years on the European Tour earned him his tour card for 2007, and his other wins over this time included the 2004 and 2005 Masters on the Alps Tour. He has also tied for 70th at the PGA Open Championship and been a member of Continental Europe for the St. Andrews Trophy and played with Portugal at the WGC-World Cup in 2005.

Is this really Bellingham?
Did we just see our local "storm troopers" in full riot gear evicting peaceful protesters from the park?
The protesters who are brave enough to put themselves on the line in the struggle for a more equitable democracy, live in tents in the rain and cold, educate us to the facts of corporate thievery, be arrested?
The Occupy movement includes all voices for justice. They are our hope for our future. Rather than protecting the grass in the park, we should protect non-violent civil disobedience. The city's response was deplorable.Belle ShalomBellingham

LETTER: Calls for protesters to repair park
Occupy Bellingham protesters have made their statements and we have heard their complaints about our world. They have discussed how to solve the world's economic and environmental problems. Now they can do the right thing and remain to clean up the mess they have made. The city can levy fines on those responsible for the destruction of public property and for encouraging others to do so. It is common practice for the city to demand restitution in such cases.
Those who supported Bellingham protesters can also donate to the city to offset the cost to the taxpayers to clean up the human and material waste dumped in our park. Those who do not have the means to donate money can donate their time and volunteer to clean other areas of Bellingham littered with trash. Free speech is a right of every American; dumping your garbage in public is not.
The protesters can now claim a merit badge for civil disobedience. Play time is over; the Occupy Protesters should also demonstrate some respect to the citizens
LETTER: Concerned about New York protesters
LETTER: Concerned about New York protesters
I am sure that I am not the only resident of Bellingham concerned by the recent displays of what I believe to be police brutality that occurred during the "Occupy Wall Street" protest in New York on Saturday, Sept. 24.
Demonstrators protesting bank bailouts and the mortgage crisis were subjected to what I see as unwarranted aggression from members of the New York Police Department.
Luckily, protesters were able to capture many incidences of this violence on video. But will these videos lead to an investigation into the conduct of New York's policeman? Currently, no investigation has been launched.

Protesters block downtown Bellingham streets in 'Occupy Wall Street' rally
BELLINGHAM - Parts of Cornwall Avenue were blocked as hundreds of protesters gathered downtown Friday afternoon, Oct. 7, to rally against economic inequality and corporations with too much power.
The rally was the first major local showing inspired by the Occupy Wall Street protests that have been going since September in New York.
Protesters gathered on all four corners of Cornwall Avenue and East Magnolia Street at 4 p.m. and marched to the Bank of America on Holly Street, chanting "Banks got bailed out, we got sold out."
LETTER:Says police avoided protest violence
LETTER:Says police avoided protest violence
In Bellingham, the natural decency of the citizens and our well-trained police kept the recent "Wall Street" protest from erupting into violence.
A counter-protester in a big truck with a God Bless America sign stopped for the red light at the Federal Building corner just as a large group of protesters arrived. When the light turned green, he revved the engine and zipped down toward Railroad Avenue, leaving a streak of black smoke drifting through the crowd.
He circled the block to halt again at the red light as the crowds passed on the sidewalks. A policeman took a position between the truck and the crowd but one young woman sat down directly in front of the truck. As the light turned green, the trucker attempted to turn away from the woman and pass her but it was too close and other protesters began to fill up the pavement.
LETTER: Unhappy with 'Occupy' protests
LETTER: Unhappy with 'Occupy' protests
I believe the supporters of the Occupy Wall Street protests include the Democratic Party, Communist Party USA, American Nazi Party, SEIU, United Federation of Teachers, Transport Workers Union Local, Islamic groups, MoveOn.org, Michael Moore and all the left wing, government-knows-best crowd.
Some are calling for all-out revolution.
In soviet Russia, Stalin used this type of mob mentality in gaining power and referred to them as "useful idiots."
Our constitution and free-enterprise system affords citizens, including these protesters, more freedom and opportunity than available anywhere else in the world.

About
Faridabad:
Faridabad pronunciation
is a major industrial city and population
center in Haryana state, northern India. It
is located in Faridabad District. the city
was founded in 1607 by Shaikh Farid, treasurer
of Jahangir, with the object of protecting
the highway which passed through the town.
Shaikh Farid built a fort, a tank and a mosque
which are in ruins. Later, it becomes the
headquarters of a pargana which was held in
jagir by the Ballabgarh ruler. Faridabad became
12th district of Haryana State on 15th August,
1979.
Faridabad
is about 25 Kilometres south of Delhi at
28deg 25' 16" North Latitude and 77deg
18' 28" East Longitude. It is bounded
by the National Capital Territory of Delhi
on its north, Gurgaon District on the west,
and of Uttar Pradesh State on its east and
south. Delhi-Mathura National Highway No.2
passes through the centre of the district.
It has an Indian Railway station on the
Delhi-Mathura double track broad-gauge line
of the Central Railway.
Faridabad is famous for Henna Production
on agriculture sector while tractors, motorcycles,
switch gears, refrigerators, shoes and tires
are other famous industrial products of
the city. Badkhal Lake tourist complex,
Suraj Kund Tourist Complex, Aravalli Golf
Club, Raja Nahar Singh Palace and Dabchick
are the famous tourist spots. For the ease
of civil administration, Faridabad District
is divided into five sub divisions, Faridabad,
Ballabgarh, Palwal, Hodal and Hathin. Each
subdivision is headed by a sub-divisional
officer. Recently Faridabad has been suffering
due to the departure of many manufacturing
companies. Faridabad has seen Gurgaon and
Noida speed ahead in development with lot
of multinational companies setting up there.
Geography:
Faridabad City itself is a plain bordered by the
River Yamuna to the east and Aravalli Hills towards
the west and south West. Being in close proximity
to the Yamuna the land east of the National Highway
is better in quality than the western side. Today
virtually all of the land has been filled up with
residential housing as the population of the city
swelled during the mid 90s.
Much like the rest of India the people of Faridabad
rely on ground water for their basic needs which
is the gift of good monsoon season. In Faridabad
most of the population is Sikhs and Hindus and
having lot of Gurudwaras & Temples. Among
main Gurudwaras includes Santo Ka Gurudwara, Singh Sabha, Pothi Mala and amongst temples Hanuman
Mandir, Shiv Mandir and Ghusain Ka Mandir.
Transportation:
It includes everything
starting from an auto-rickshaw to the rich cars
like Maybach. Auto-rickshaws run mainly on national
highway connecting Delhi border and Ballabgarh.
Likewise other means of transport are taxis, buses
etc. Personal cars and two-wheelers have gradually
been increasing since recent years making the city
cause of jams and traffic blocks. Trains stop at
three railway stations in Faridabad connecting Ballabgarh
to New Delhi. Metro rail services are likely to
reach the city by 2010 as proposed by Delhi
