Ready for the World: Our World in Need

KNOXVILLE — Nathan Kelly is not telling you to vote Democrat or Republican. But he can tell you what will happen economically either way.

Your decision, he said, will have a significant impact on poverty and economic inequality.

Kelly is an assistant professor of political science at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

To him, poverty focuses on those who are poor and inequality has to do with the gap between the rich and the poor. Also, inequality examines the well-being of the poor relative to the rich. He says fighting poverty directly combats inequality, although fighting inequality does not always lead to reductions in poverty.

“In reality, poverty and inequality are often intertwined,” Kelly said. “Usually, when there are many people living in poverty, the gap between the rich and the poor is also large.

“The core of my research examines the causes and consequences of economic inequality.”

Kelly’s work fits well into Ready for the World, the campus’ international and intercultural initiative, which this year is focusing on “Our World in Need” with an emphasis on poverty.

His book “The Politics of Income Inequality in the United States,” printed by Cambridge University Press, tries to zero in on the relationship between poverty and economic inequality.

“Many economists argue that inequality is essentially an inevitable result of a market-driven system,” Kelly said, “and government action is impotent to influence inequality. My research fundamentally contradicts this assessment.”

Kelly’s research shows that differences in economic equality depend on whether a Republican or Democrat is in office.

“When Democrats control the White House and liberal policies are enacted, inequality declines,” Kelly said. “The evidence on this point is quite solid and consistent. To be completely clear, electing Republicans and pursuing conservative policies generally increases inequality, while electing Democrats and pursuing liberal policies decreases inequality.

“I hope that this message makes it out to both liberals and conservatives, in the hopes that some common ground might be found by learning about the empirical realities of American politics.”

Kelly, in his research, also analyzes the distribution of wealth and the government’s involvement.

Teaching a First Year Studies course for freshmen, Kelly said he and his students can explore how politics, poverty and inequality are interconnected. The course involves a lot of discussion and challenges students to confront any biased perceptions of poverty and economic inequality.

“So many of my students have absolutely no idea what it would be like to be poor,” Kelly said. “I’m not sure I even fully understand. It is important for students to see and understand poverty, in part to understand how privileged they are, but also to see the poor as fully human. Sometimes, it’s too easy to … dehumanize the poor. Having direct interactions with economically diverse populations makes it harder to view the poor only as an ‘other’ and perhaps even another that is not deserving of full respect.”

Kelly hopes to make his students not only more conscious of poverty and economic inequality, but also make them more politically aware.

“Individuals matter, but so does government,” Kelly said, “and I hope that I can convince students that governments at least have the potential to be a very powerful actor for the good in this context. Governments also can act very badly. If I can show students that our government somehow represents the values of our society, I hope they will get involved to push government to represent our best values rather than our worst.”

Vikram Pandit’s dead Citi hedge fund, Old Lane Partners, is back from the grave.

Reincarnated as the private firm Meru Capital, it’s already raised $300 million.

It will include all of the founding partners of Old Lane, minus two:

1) Vikram Pandit

2) The head of Citi’s institutional clients group John Havens.

At what point will Mr. Pandit become sick of all the flak he takes at Citi and settle down for a cushy money management job where he can make all the money he wants without politicians breathing down his neck?

At the very least, this surely qualifies as a Pandit Plan B.

FinAlternatives: Citigroup closed Old Lane in September of last year after the hedge fund, which managed $4.5 billion when Citigroup bought it in July 2007 for more than $800 million, posted hundreds of millions in losses and saw all of its outside investors flee.

Maetec LLC on behalf of the tiny South Pacific islands of Tonga has created a deep water wind turbine and buoy combination for producing hydrogen through electrolysis of seawater. The hydrogen will then be piped underwater along the seabed to a power generation station where it will replace diesel fuel for producing electricity for the grid.

The hydrogen will be used inside internal combustion engines at the power plants. The hydrogen may also be used as a future transportation fuel for vehicles on the island. Hydrogen is seen as a clean storage alternative for wind and solar rather than lead acid batteries that are not as efficient and not as environmentally friendly as hydrogen.

Officially known as the Kingdom of Tonga, the islands like many other places around the world struggles with how to produce clean energy. Tonga is just north of New Zealand and just east of Australia about one-third of the way to Hawaii.

According to a letter to the editor from Johnny Kraczek, Director of Engineering at Maetec LLC who speaks of hydrogen safety, “Personally I have made hydrogen not only in the lab but even in large quantities in my garage at home. There is an acquaintance of mine, an author, who has run his car on homemade hydrogen for nearly twenty years. He even generates hydrogen off of his treadmill for use in his lawn mower or car.”

So, to sum up, it’s not just the large first world nations like the U. S., Japan and Germany who are turning to hydrogen as a clean energy resource, but also second and third world nations are wise to the need for hydrogen as well. If Tonga can do it, this gives hope for many other countries big and small.

Google is pushing ahead with Street View despite the numerous controversies surrounding the product. Some countries are more welcoming than others though and it looks like the latest venture is getting a warmer reception. Google has just launched the service in Singapore making it the first country in South Asia to get Street View and one of the first in the region after Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Taiwan. While countries like Japan or Germany had more than a few issues with the service, in Singapore the local government is excited about the image and tourism opportunities it opens up.

“STB is very excited by Street View’s marketing potential as it will further raise Singapore’s prominence and reach through the Internet. People unfamiliar with Singapore can now get a first look at our city,” Mr Ken Low, assistant chief executive of Marketing, with the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), said.

“The convenience of Google Maps, and the Street View feature, will give people from anywhere in the world a much better idea and picture of what Singapore looks like, and what it has to offer and we welcome private sector initiatives such as these which help us add value to our visitors’ experiences,” he added.

The feature is now live on Google Maps and can be accessed… (read more)

I am always looking for easy to make unique ornaments to make and share with you. Here is one cute ornament you can make and hang on your tree. It takes very little time and material to complete. I don’t think I have ever seen a project like this, working with light bulbs. Now that is a very different idea.

Here is what you will need to get started:

• One lightbulb, using a burned out bulb will work
• Acrylic paints in red, white, flesh toned, black and blue (you can use paint markers or plain markers for the blue eyes, black eye shape and beard highlights
• paint brushes
• rubbing alcohol or an ammonia window cleaner
• white or red chenille stem or pipe cleaner for the hanger
• scrap material for the hat
• A jingle bell or pom pom for the end of the hat
• scrap white material for hat trim
• hot glue or craft glue

First, clean the lightbulb thoroughly with the alcohol or window cleaner. This will take off any grease or fingerprints and help the paint to adhere to the bulb.

Pain the bulb white, let it dry and give it a second coat. When the second coat dries, paint an oval for the face area with the flesh toned paint. Let it dry thoroughly.

When that’s dry, paint the facial features by copying for the photo. Add white whiskers around the face to create a large mustache. Add a thin red line right below the mustache to form the lips. Add two red circle shape for the cheeks.

Use either black paint, paint marker or plain marker to make an outline of the eyes. Also, add some faint black lines in the mustache and beard to define the shape.

Next, take a scrap of red felt and cut in a triangle to make the hat. You can get 12 x 12 pieces of felt in the craft store for about 75 cents. Stitch up the felt and sew a jingle bell or glue a pom pom on the pointed end of the hat, then trim with a piece of white material.

Twist the chenille stem around the bottom of the metal base, on the bulb, above the face then twist the two ends together to form a hanger. Push the hat down and glue in place.

Once the glue is dry you can hang your Santa on your tree. Enjoy!

Rumor has it that we are not the ones to blame for climate change–the human race, that is. Scientists of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia were recently found to have manipulated data in order to support preordained conclusions about mankind’s responsibility for climate change, and climate change skeptics have come out in full force to cite this one example as proof of man’s innocence when it comes to global warming.

While the misconduct of the CRU may puff up the skeptics’ sails, the Editorial Board hopes that this one unfortunate example will not lead the public to abandon its concern about climate change. The fact is that mankind’s climate change culpability is backed by strong scientific evidence and the majority of scientific opinion. All that is needed to continue progress at combating climate change is further support from policymakers and the media. Climate change skeptics, for the most part, are doing everything they can to hamper this support.

The turn of the century witnessed a change in humanity’s consciousness about our effects on the environment. Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth, the damaging effects of Hurricane Katrina and the 2004 tsunami at last drew the public’s eye toward the Earth and its changing environment. Whether or not the tsunami or Katrina was directly influenced by global warming, these catastrophic events nevertheless changed how we view our environment and our impact on the planet. So, now that naysayers of global warming have the floor once more, is it time to turn our backs on the wisdom painfully acquired over the past decade?

The planet and people feel the effects of our changing environment no matter how many seek to crowd out scientific proof of climate change. There is solid evidence that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap heat in our atmosphere. There is solid evidence that burning fossil fuels is not only unsustainable, but that fossil fuel consumption adds 27 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year. There is solid evidence that temperatures are increasing and the environment is changing, in many cases, for the worse. There will always be time to argue about what the cause of climate change is with those who dispute scientific evidence. But there will not always be an equal chance to prevent its occurrence and limit its effects.

To concede ground to skeptics at this time will only halt needed efforts at reducing the future impacts of the changing climate. With the Copenhagen Climate Conference quickly approaching, this is not the time to feed into a fringe, anti-science group of right-wing extremists who are opposing virtually indisputable scientific evidence by giving these skeptics media attention. Our minds and media should focus on further progress now that our current climate wisdom shows us the need for policy action on the global and personal scales.

The Editorial Board believes that, while the conduct of the CRU is less than ethical and unjustified, this scandal and others like it should not fuel the fire that threatens environmental consciousness and efforts to protect our planet. The growing momentum of conservation and protection is one that should continue into the next decade and beyond. Progress may be questioned by the fringe–their voices seemingly the only ones we hear at times–but progress toward a greener and cleaner planet has begun and should not be displaced. We can only hope that environmentalism will not evaporate, even if the ethics of scientists and politicians do. A focus on effective climate change policy should remain at the top of policymakers’ lists, hopefully with a louder and more resounding voice than the small cries of skeptics.

While today 2.6.32 is the mainline version of Linux kernel, 2.4 branch is still supported by Linux community developers who fix security bugs there but don’t add any new functionality (unlike 2.6 that grows with new features like a snowball). Sometimes it happens that Linux box runs too much services which cannot be stopped so that admin is not allowed to migrate from 2.4 to 2.6 to keep those services online.

In my example the box runs 2.4.37.7 kernel but Vmware Server 1.0.* fails on it with segmentation fault throwing into the logs the errors below in this post. Does that look familiar to anybody? Is there any solution to run Vmware Server at 2.4.37 kernel? Thank you!

With a starting price of $285,000, Bentley’s newest flagship model won’t come cheap. Nor should it, with its 505-horsepower, 725 lb-ft, gasoline-fed 6.75-liter V8 engine sitting behind the automaker’s trademark mesh grille and four round lights.

Also included in that price will be an eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission, 16.54-inch front and 15.5-inch rear carbon ceramic brakes and 20-inch wheels. And lest we forget, it will also come with a 2,200-watt stereo and the brand’s new Driver Dynamics Control system, which comes with “Bentley,” “Sport,” “Comfort” and user-definable “Custom” modes.
