Apple supplier's factory back up after China brawl

BEIJING (AP) ? A factory in China owned by the manufacturer of Apple's iPhones resumed production Tuesday after a brawl by workers highlighted tensions that labor groups say were worsened by the pressure of a new iPhone launch.

Foxconn Technology Group and police said the cause of the unrest Sunday night was under investigation, but labor activists said the rollout of the iPhone 5 has led to longer working hours and more pressure on workers. Foxconn and police said as many as 2,000 employees were involved in the brawl and 40 people were reported injured.

The iPhone 5 debuted last week in the United States and eight other countries and Apple has a three- to four-week backlog of online orders. Foxconn has declined to say whether its one-day suspension of production Monday in Taiyuan might affect supplies. It did not respond to a request for comment on the labor groups' claims.

News reports and witnesses said the violence Sunday night in Taiyuan in northern China stemmed from a confrontation between a factory worker and a guard that escalated. One employee reached by telephone said the violence was fueled by workers' anger about mistreatment by Foxconn security guards and managers.

"Foxconn, some supervisors, and security guards never respect us," said the employee, who asked not to be identified by name. "We all have this anger toward them and they (the workers) wanted to destroy things to release this anger."

Production at the Taiyuan factory resumed on Tuesday, Foxconn said in a written statement. It did not respond to a request for information on the status of its investigation or whether policies at the factory might be changed.

Foxconn, owned by Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., is the world's biggest assembler of consumer electronics, with about 1.2 million workers in factories in Taiyuan, the southern city of Shenzhen, in Chengdu in the west and in Zhengzhou in central China. It makes iPhones and iPads for Apple and also assembles products for Microsoft Corp. and Hewlett-Packard Co.

Labor activists say the need to ramp up iPhone 5 production has increased pressure on Foxconn employees.

"Because of the launch of the iPhone 5, the workload of workers suddenly surges," said a Hong Kong group, Students & Scholars Against Corporate Misbehaviour, in a report this month. It said some employees interviewed at the Zhengzhou factory had not had a day off in the previous 30 days.

Foxconn has declined to say which products are made in each factory but another group, China Labor Watch, said the Taiyuan facility, which employs 79,000 people, is making the iPhone 5.

The group, based in New York City, complained that employees suffer "verbal and physical abuse" by guards.

"These workers must be treated with respect," it said in a statement. "And both Apple and Foxconn, with billions of dollars in profits every year, have both a legal and ethical obligation to uphold the rights of these workers."

Labor tensions in China have been aggravated by a slowing economy that is squeezing employers and a communist system that prohibits independent labor unions.

Many factories and other businesses have unions but they must be part of the state-sanctioned All-China Federation of Trade Unions. Workers complain leaders of local branches often are allied with management and fail to stand up for the workforce.

That means grievances over pay or other issues spiral into strikes and protests. In some cases, ACFTU representatives have scuffled with striking workers, trying to force them to return to work.

"They have no other way of voicing their grievances," said Geoffrey Crothall, communications director for China Labour Bulletin, a Hong Kong organization that promotes employee rights in China. "There are no formal channels of communication or ways of resolving grievances through peaceful negotiation."

Foxconn raised minimum pay and promised in March to limit hours after an auditor hired by Apple found Foxconn employees were regularly required to work more than 60 hours a week.

That review followed a rash of suicides at Foxconn facilities ? about a dozen since 2010 ? and an explosion at the iPad-making plant in Chengdu in May 2011 that killed four employees.

Foxconn's facilities are exceptionally large by the standards of a Chinese electronics industry in which most manufacturers employ hundreds or thousands of workers. Its flagship mainland factory in Shenzhen, near Hong Kong, has 250,000 workers. The Chengdu site has 100,000 and the company has said the Zhengzhou factory might eventually employ 300,000.

Foxconn also has faced criticism in the past over the conduct of its security guards.

In 2010, Foxconn's parent, Hon Hai, pledged its guards would obey the law and refrain from using threats or harassment after a videotape showing several beating workers was circulated on the Internet.

Foxconn employees have complained about what some critics call "military-style management."

"Workers are expected to obey their manager at all times, not to question but simply do what they are told," said Crothall. "That atmosphere is not conducive to a happy or contented workforce. It's a very dehumanizing way of treating workers."

A Q&A with A Fall From Grace Director Jennifer Lynch - Yes

?Darkness visible?
?BY ANDREW WYATT ?Director and screenwriter Jennifer Lynch has been leaving her mark in film and television for over twenty years. The daughter of renowned American filmmaker David Lynch and painter Peggy Reavey, Lynch was just 25 when her notorious first feature, Boxing Helena, premiered in 1993. Following the critical drubbing to which both the film and Lynch were subjected, it was another fifteen years before she helmed another feature, the 2008 indie thriller Surveillance. That film clinched Lynch a Best Director prize at the New York Horror Film Festival, and has led to a second life of sorts for the filmmaker as a crafter of smaller-scale, delightfully perverse independent cinema. Lynch's newest film, A Fall From Grace, is currently inching into pre-production, and will be set in and shot on location in St. Louis. Lynch and her co-writer and producer, Eric Wilkinson, recently sat down with St. Louis Magazine recently to talk about the city's peculiar vibe, the perils of the creative process, and the director's life-long search for her own, distinct artistic voice.

?The script for your upcoming film, A Fall from Grace, was co-written by you and one of the film's producers and performers, Eric Wilkinson. How did you originally get involved?

?The script that Eric gave me was inspired by the creepy feeling he got while he was standing on the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge. He only later found out about the Kerry sisters [the 1991 murder of Julie and Robin Kerry at the bridge]. Eric's script was not about the sisters at all, but it was certainly inspired by the mood on that bridge, and the fact that something dark had happened there. I know that's a very potent case for St. Louis. I think that at some point in the future, Eric wants to focus on that case in a different film, if he can get the family's permission, because he wants to do it respectfully. Initially, I said ?No? to the project three times. Eric is the kind of writer and producer who is very receptive to the fact that I said, ?Look, there are just some things in this script that I don't gravitate towards.? I can't say specifically if there were things I just felt I had seen before, or things that didn't hit that part of me that wanted to bring them to fruition. I told him that I loved the idea of the bridges and a killer, but I'd like to explore some different things, and he was very all about that. I did a big re-write and a re-configuration of things, changing some of the story and the characters. And Eric was very happy with the result, and so was I. And at that point it was a story that I wanted to tell, very deeply. That was all brought about because Eric told me, ?You've got to come see St. Louis.? I'd never been there, but the moment I was there, I fell in love with it. The city is not just visually arresting, it's the mood and a quality of life, and a type of people that just breeds amazing stories. I was totally inspired, and I went back into the script with that new juice. So the project was born partly of the challenge of making something that didn't necessarily spark me. Eric and David [producer David Michaels] are both people I wanted to work with?I had worked with David before on Surveillance?and I felt that it was certainly worth giving this a shot and trying to thrill them and me. And then once I was in St. Louis, it was all a bit of magic, and the script came out.

?So the visit to St. Louis was when the project pivoted from more of a work-for-hire to something you could sink your teeth into??

Absolutely. It was the city that brought me, in the very best of ways, to my knees, as far as that creative passion. Around every corner there's new look and a new type of air, and my brain was just going crazy with stories. I think that's what I needed. I am such a fan of the Mississippi River, so that was just a bonus. But you guys have everything: the bridges, the farmland, the city, the wealth, the poverty, the old, the new. I was awestruck. There's something about the vastness of the sky and the potency of the weather that I think really humbles people and makes them authentic in a way that helped me fall in love with characters. I want to showcase St. Louis as a beautiful place with tremendous history, and both an innocence and a creepiness.

?Historically, there are only a handful of films shot predominantly on location in St. Louis that are also explicitly set here.

Right! And I want to be the first in this decade, certainly, to really make St. Louis a character in our film.

?The last one that I can recall is Steven Soderbergh's King of the Hill.

?Yes, I think that's right. There is a whole trial and tribulations we're going through, as far as the St. Louis Film Commission and having a tax incentive brought back there. It just seems to me that there is so much more to see and bring to the screen in St. Louis. Right now Louisiana is getting all of it, and I don't get that. I think the economy in St. Louis could benefit so greatly from having that tax incentive. I would love to be a part of bringing some money back into the city. And, in a selfish way, I would love to have this great place to shoot that people haven't seen, the way I intend I shoot it.

?The Chain of Rocks Bridge certainly is a spooky kind of bridge. Apart from the length, it has that odd bend in the center, and those water intake islands.

?Yes, the trees and the intake towers and then the Chain of Rocks itself, which is so visually arresting. It's like this nature-made halt in the river. It's where you can really see how powerful the water is, where nature has given evidence and reminded us of how quickly that water is moving. Otherwise, it can just sort of look like silk out there. I wanted to get into those intake towers like you wouldn't believe, but apparently you can't access them anymore, because the stairs that lead up to them are completely rotted away.

?I've always wondered if the Army Corps of Engineers ever lets anyone in those towers.

?Apparently the won't. [Laughs]. I tried. If I had my way, I would love to go in there and re-build those stairs, and be able to get inside one of those. It's the most isolated, terrifying, Rapunzel-esque image I've seen in a long time.

?If you're out there on the bridge at dusk, the whole place definitely has a weird voodoo about it.?

?It really does have, for lack of a better word, a vibe. It's got a mood. From the construction of it, that strange bend, as you say, which I'm sure was there for a necessary reason. But it's so strange a bend to have, and then to have it go into the woods the way it does. It's very much like a child would have made it in a dollhouse environment. It's a little too long and it's not quite straight and it's so narrow. And the fact that it used to be Route 66. It's just got all these super-cool things about it. When we were shooting the teaser there, I just can't tell you how eerie and magical it was. It really is a beautifully constructed bridge.

?In all of your films, you've been either the sole screenwriter, or a co-writer. Do you feel like you need to have a hand in a script to make it your own?

?I do feel better knowing that I have something in it. For me, directing starts in the writing, because I I believe you make a film three times: you write it, you direct it, and then you edit it. Each of those times, it becomes a different thing. You conceive of it in the script, and you bring it to life as you're shooting it. However, it's changed from the script, because you have real human beings stepping into the skins you've created, and they have things to say about it. So there's an evolution there. And ultimately when you get into post-production, you have to listen to the footage, because it's not necessarily what you set out to get. Hopefully, it's better, but it's always a little bit different. I think for me, being involved in the script is a necessity, not because I need to say something about it, so much as it's the best way for me to start the communication. That doesn't mean there aren't scripts I wouldn't kill to direct as they are.

?\A couple of years ago, you directed a supernatural horror film, Hisss, on location in India. The storied tale tale of shooting that film is the subject of a new documentary, Despite the Gods, from a first-time director Penny Vozniak. I understand that Hisss was an instance where what you set out to do versus the end product wasn't at all what you imagined it was going to be.

Well, ultimately, I didn't get to make that film. I put my director's cut together, and the producers decided it was not what they wanted. They took it back to India. I never did any scoring or cutting or color-timing or any of the things you do to make the movie. They took the footage and changed it into what they wanted it to be. So it's not my film. I went to India and shot some footage, but I have nothing to do with the movie they made.

?That's an instance where you were able to complete the first two steps of writing and directing, but were not able to complete the third step of cutting.

?Exactly. It's like being really nauseous and hoping you can throw up, but not being able to. [Laughs] I went through several years of sorrow over that. It was one of the most significant losses I've had in my life.

?The loss of control over the film at the end.

?Yeah, it was just really sad for me. I think it was a mistake for them to do it. I would rather make a film and fail at making it and yet still complete it, as opposed to not being able to finish something. I'm deeply resentful that they decided to keep my name on it as writer and director. I think it's terribly unfair and very bad business.

?So the Bollywood experience did not pan out as you would have preferred.

?Well, that film specifically did not. The Bollywood adventure itself was magical and insane and absurd and joyous and nine months long. It was a significant part of my life. I would return to any time. I would go back in a heartbeat.

?Despite the fate of Hisss, you can see yourself returning to do another film in the Bollywood mode?

?Absolutely. I would love to. I would just work with different producers.

?Your films have all been shot on location outside Hollywood, going back to Boxing Helena in the Atlanta area. How does selecting a locale for filming come about?

?It's mainly a decision of the producers, because of tax incentives, and a way to save money. It's just too expensive for most people to shoot in Los Angeles. Because I'm rarely doing a film that's over one or two million dollars, producers are always looking to save money. I'd love to shoot locally, but it's best to shoot on a sound stage when in L.A., because you've just seen everything here.

?Your 2008 thriller, Surveillance, which was shot in Canada, benefits from not being obviously set in Los Angeles.

?Well, the interiors, such as the police station, were shot on stage, but with all the exteriors, I was just dying to say it was Anywhere, Middle America.

?Certainly, the film's environment is very non-specific. It could be the plains of Nebraska or the desert outside Los Angeles. It's pointedly never specified where we are.?

?Well God bless you for saying that, because that was the idea! I did that on purpose. Every license plate said something vague. I tried to never focus on that. I tend to feel that the more universal a place feels, the more we, as audience members, feel we could be there. If we give it a specific name, sometimes it will feel safe, knowing we don't live there. I kind of wanted to erase that line of safety.

?In contrast, A Fall From Grace is going to be explicitly set in St. Louis, correct?

?It's named as a St. Louis film, definitely. The protagonist, he works for St. Louis P.D., he's a homicide detective. It's important to note that although within the story there are beautiful moments and intensely dark moments, none of this is blamed on St. Louis. St. Louis is representative to me of anywhere in America. Or for that matter, anywhere in the world, as far as how people live together, and what the human condition is. These particular incidents in the story take place in St. Louis, but it's not because it's St. Louis.

You were involved in a car accident in 1988 that has subsequently resulted in significant pain issues for you. Is it fair to say that living with pain is an element of your artistic life at his point?

?It certainly hasn't been of no effect on my artistic life. I think I was interested in the ways that pain affects humans even prior to that. Certainly, the sense of isolation and entrapment in one's own body or a space became more specific after the accident. Most of my artistic interests are in the darker areas of life. I'm incredibly interested in comedy too, people just haven't seen me do it yet. [Laughs] I'm interested in the dark stuff, because that's not what my life is. I gravitate towards things I'm curious about, or things I've had tastes of. I never want to go to prison and I never want to be arrested, but I tend to show a lot of people being arrested, and I'm sure someday I'll show people going to prison. That's a way to have that experience without ever really having it. But certainly there is my own experience in everything I do. I can't deny that. It's as much my own experience as my own curiosity. I tend to be curious about things that terrify me in the right way, so I go towards them.

That does seem to be a theme of captivity in your films, whether it's explicit physical confinement or a more indirect kind. It goes back to Boxing Helena and extends to the film you just completed, Chained. On of the things I enjoy about Surveillance is the sort of blackly comical way that the corrupt patrolmen detain the motorists out on the road with their bizarre, menacing behavior. Their victims seem uncertain about whether they can just leave.

That element of physical restraint seems to crop up again and again in your work. Chained is no exception. It's about a boy trapped in a house for ten years with a very dangerous man. That's not a conscious decision I'm making, but I'm pleased by the different things that come out of people when they're forced to sit still. Those are the reactions I'm fascinated by. If everybody can just come and go as they please, it's not nearly as interesting to me as people having to keep their wits about them and redefine themselves in order to stay alive. I think that's a universal touchstone for everyone, because ultimately when we're reduced to one being in one place, we all really only have certain choices to make. I really get a kick out of watching people make those choices, and how well or poorly they can go.

Your early writing efforts include the Twin Peaks tie-in book The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer. However, another, less well-known project of yours was scripting an episode of the cult horror show Friday the 13th: The Series.?

?Hell, yeah! [Laughs] I used to write a lot of television. I got involved in that when Paramount called me. They knew I was writing scripts, and brought me in one day. The funny story about that is, I had two meetings that day, one at Paramount for Friday the 13th: The Series, and another at another studio for another show. And I went to Paramount thinking it was for this other show. As I walked up the stairs following the guy into the office, he turned around to lead me up, and he was wearing a Friday the 13th: The Series jacket. And I went, ?Oh, f***, I'm not ready for this meeting.? I sat down and by the grace of whatever creative angels there are out there, an idea came to me, and I pitched it to them, and they bought it that day.

?I still enjoy that series immensely as a great, old-school supernatural horror story. The episodic nature of it worked very well.

?I know! And I'm about to leave shortly to do an episode of Warehouse 13, which reminds me very much of Friday the 13th: The Series.

?Your episode, ?Repetition,? reminds me a bit of a gambler's tale: a person who gambles to pay off debts, and then just creates new debts, establishing this endless cycle. Only with the addition of murder and the supernatural.

Yes, and the idea that you have to choose who's worthy to die. The question of who doesn't matter is a fascinating thing to me. What a curse that would be! In order to save yourself, you'd probably go for it.

?I understand that you were educated at the Interlochen Center for the Arts.

?Yes, for the last two years of high school.

?I attended college in Michigan, and had several classmates who spoke very glowingly of their experiences at Interlochen's Arts Camp. Was attending school there full-time a positive experience for you as well?

?It was incredibly pivotal for me. Transformative in just about every way. It was where I think I developed my voice, separate from my parents. There was a particular writing teacher there, with whom I'm still in touch, and he changed my life. He made me embrace the idea that there is really no way to write anything other than your own way. Certainly, there are changes in structure and things that can make something more palatable to a reader. But the very best way to tell a story is the same way you would tell a best friend or a lover or a child. You recount it. That what a great voice is. It's like great joke-telling. You tell it yourself, and that's what makes the joke great. It's the kind of thing I would wish for everybody. That's what education should be. It should be one if not more teachers that really bring you into yourself. They don't teach you to be themselves, they teach you to be you. I can't stand teachers who want me to be them. [Laughs] That's not only boring, it's irritating.

?Jennifer, thank you so much for speaking with me today, particularly at this early stage in the production of A Fall From Grace.

?I really appreciate it. There are always things to talk about with the film, and the beauty of it is that it's always changing.

Congress exits Washington to hit campaign trail

The most partisan, least productive Congress in memory has skipped out of Washington for the campaign trail.?Left behind for a postelection session is a pile of unfinished business.

By Andrew Taylor,?Associated Press / September 22, 2012

Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, leaves after meeting with reporters Capitol Hill in Washington on Friday as Congress prepared to shut down until after elections in November.

The most partisan, least productive Congress in memory has skipped out of Washington for the campaign trail.

The Senate shuttered the Capitol soon after sending President Barak Obama stopgap spending legislation that will make sure the government won't shut down on Oct. 1. It passed early Saturday morning by a 62-30 vote.

Left behind for a postelection session is a pile of unfinished business on the budget and taxes, farm policy and legislation to save the Postal Service from insolvency.

The GOP-controlled House had beat its retreat Friday morning after taking one last, futile slap at Obama ? passing a bill entitled the "Stop the War on Coal Act." The measure, dead on arrival in the Senate, was aimed at boosting the coal industry in its battle against new environmental regulations while hurting Obama's political prospects in coal states like Ohio and Virginia.

RECOMMENDED: 'Fiscal cliff'? 'Sequester'? Your guide to Congress's code language.

The Democratic-controlled Senate's middle-of-the-night session came after a spitting match between Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and the chamber's Republicans over Reid's insistence on advancing legislation by Sen. Jon Tester of Montana to boost access to public lands for hunting and fishing. Tester is perhaps the Senate's most endangered Democrat and Republicans protested that he was being given special treatment in a nakedly political move to boost his reelection chances. The measure eventually cleared a procedural hurdle on a sweeping 84-7 vote.

The votes came at midnight to give senators who had scattered from Washington time to return. Democrat Claire McCaskill was in Missouri Friday for a debate, while Michael Bennet, D-Colo., had been in the southwest portion of his state to attend a ceremony celebrating the new Chimney Rock National Monument. Tea party star Marco Rubio, R-Fla., was venting his frustrations with American Airlines on Twitter.

The only must-do item on the get-out-of-Dodge agenda was a six-month spending measure to fulfill the bare minimum of Congress' responsibilities by keeping the government running after the current budget year ends on Sept. 30.

The spending measure permits spending on agency operating budgets at levels agreed to under last summer's hard-fought budget and debt deal between Obama and Capitol Hill Republicans. That's 0.6 percent increase from current spending rates, which represents a defeat for House Republicans, who had sought to cut about 2 percent below the budget deal and shift $8 billion from domestic programs to the Pentagon.

Reid also relented to a months-long demand by tea party Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., for a vote on suspending foreign aid to the governments of Libya, Egypt and Pakistan. Paul only got 10 votes. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., however, won sweeping approval of a nonbinding resolution supporting steps to make sure Iran doesn't develop a nuclear weapon.

It's the earliest pre-election exit by Congress from Washington since 1960, though lawmakers will return in November after the election to deal with its stack of unfinished work.

Japan launches new nuclear safety agency

(AP) ? Japan has launched a new nuclear oversight agency following criticism that collusion between regulators and plant operators contributed to meltdowns at the tsunami-stricken Fukushima Dai-Ichi plant.

Japan began reviewing its energy policies following the Fukushima crisis. Before the accident, resource-poor Japan relied on nuclear power for one-third of its energy and had planned to raise that to 50 percent.

Officials said the five-member Nuclear Regulation Authority, headed by nuclear physicist Shunichi Tanaka, was inaugurated Wednesday after months of delay due to opposition.

Last week a Cabinet advisory panel proposed a new national energy policy aimed at phasing out nuclear power over the next three decades. The Cabinet was due to approve the policy on Wednesday but reports said members would endorse only some aspects of the sweeping policy revisions.

New Syria envoy visits refugee camp in Turkey

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) ? The new international envoy tasked with ending the 18-month Syrian conflict has visited a refugee camp in Turkey.

Lakhdar Brahimi, who recently ended a four-day visit to Syria, toured a camp in the border province of Hatay on Tuesday as dozens of Syrians staged a demonstration outside the camp denouncing Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Turkey, which has taken in more than 80,000 refugees, serves as headquarters for the leaders of the Free Syrian Army group and hosts members of the Syrian National Council opposition group.

It is not clear if Brahimi, who replaced Kofi Annan as the joint United Nations and Arab League envoy, met any opposition members in Hatay.

Brahimi said Saturday he still has no plan for stopping the bloodshed.

An Interview with Alexei Kudrin on the European Debt Crisis and Russia's Entry to the WTO

As noted earlier, I?m in Yalta at the 9th annual meeting of Yalta European Strategy. There were several interesting panels earlier today, including a discussion of the European debt crisis featuring Petro Poroshenko, the Ukrainian minister of economic development and trade, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former head of the IMF, Robert Zoellick, the former president of the World Bank, and, most relevant to this blog, Alexei Kudrin, who served as the Russian minister of finance from 2000-11.

Kudrin in particular was?extraordinarily?pessimistic about the likely course of the debt crisis (at one point noting ?in the best case, Europe will get stagnation?), but his?pessimism?seemed very well?grounded?and evidence based. Indeed Kudrin?s pessimism proved very convincing to at least one person in attendance: when Strauss-Kahn started his remarks he said ?well, it sounds bad but Alexei?s entirely right.? Scary stuff, when you consider just how negative Kudrin?sounded.

After the close of his panel, Kudrin was kind enough to meet with me and a few other journalists for about half an hour. While a good deal of the discussion focused on Russian domestic politics, a sphere in which Kudrin, as an ex-minister still in good personal standing with Putin, occupies an interesting and unique position, I was able to ask a few questions that focused more on economic matters to which he provided very lengthy and thoughtful responses. I?m not sure I agree with Kudrin on all of the particulars, I?m sympathetic to his overall views but part of me thinks (or hopes) he?s being a bit too harsh on the Eurozone, but he has a great deal of experience in a very challenging position and he?s clearly someone who ought to be taken seriously.

?

You spoke earlier and gave a very pessimistic view of the European debt crisis. Are you as pessimistic about Russia?s short term economic prospects?

Of course Russia is very dependent on the world economy. In the next year or two if the Federal Reserve and European Central Bank (ECB) continue stimulus, then oil prices will be supported. Stimulus will support demand and the price of oil, and Russia will be a little better off. If there?s a chance that the Federal Reserve and ECB decrease support, then oil prices will go lower. That?s the first main factor. There is a second: the debt crisis. It?s going to happen and it?s going to be serious. Regardless of the ECB?s actions the debt crisis will continue. The ECB?s measures can delay the problem but not solve it.

The ECB can give liquidity to the market. Individual countries, however, can only borrow on the market and the countries of Southern Europe have a tough time doing this: they?re going to see their debts grow. I already said, that if GDP growth is lower than the growth in debt, if for example GDP growth is 2% but there?s a 3% deficit, then the overall fiscal balance is going to suffer and the debt problem is going to get worse regardless of the ECB?s support. And if the ECB cuts off support, then things will get even worse. I think ECB can give support for another 6 months but after that I don?t know. The ECB can?t do its job on its own forever, and it will be ?a difficult time for all of Europe.

There?s another serious systemic problem. If the ECB uses resources on the least?disciplined?countries then you have the danger of moral hazard: spending common resources of the Eurozone only on those countries which are worst off. This is a hopeless strategy, and it doesn?t create good rules or a healthy environment. Therefore I don?t see how the problem is going to be solved.

To solve it through spending more German money won?t work. And today there are two strategies being discussed in Europe and in Germany itself: the strategy of support and the strategy of exit. The strategy of support is going to be three or four times more expensive than the current estimates. It will be a lot more expensive. The Greek bailout, as we saw, ended up being a lot more expensive than people thought at the time. It would be exactly the same with Spain and Italy.

Germany quite simply?doesn?t?have the strength to bail out Spain and Italy, the scale is too big. Germany understands this. They think it might cost something like a hundred billion Euros but it will actually be three or four hundred billion at a minimum. Germany doesn?t want to do anything like this, politically speaking, if it was capable of it economically.?

The costs of exit are also very substantial, very close to the figures I mentioned earlier. But this is nonetheless the only real choice [i.e. between support and exit]. They can?t delay forever. Germany has an extremely difficult, historically difficult decision to make. Germany needs to decide for itself what it wants pay: the cost of support or the costs of exit.

What do you think about Russia?s entry into the World Trade Organization? What kind of influence will it have?

I think it?s a normal for Russia to be in the WTO. All the other leading countries have been in the the WTO for a long time, and it wasn?t natural for Russia not to be a member. It was unnatural both for Russian and international businesses. Russia will be a part of the club that makes the rules. So, of course that?s good.

FBI to roll out $1 billion public facial recognition system in 2014, will be on to your evildoing everywhere

FBI to roll out $1 billion public facial recognition system in 2014, will be on to your evildoing

They're watching you -- or at least will be in a couple of years. That's when the FBI is gearing up for a nationwide launch of a $1 billion project designed to identify people of interest, according to the New Scientist. Dubbed the Next Generation Identification (NGI) program, the high-tech endeavor uses biometric data such as DNA analysis, iris scans and voice identification to track down folks with a criminal history. The FBI also plans to take NGI on the road literally by using public cameras to pick faces from the crowd and cross check them with its national repository of images. Let's just say this facial technology isn't going to be used for lighthearted Japanese vocaloid hijinks or unlocking your electronic device. The use and scope of NGI, which kicked off a pilot program in February, will likely be questioned not just by black helicopter watchers but privacy advocates as well. Facial recognition has certainly been a touchy issue in privacy circles -- something Facebook learned firsthand in Germany. Meanwhile, the Electronic Frontier Foundation is already raising concerns about innocent civilians being mixed up or included in the database. Naturally, the FBI claims that the NGI program is in compliance with the U.S. Privacy Act. On the positive side, at least they didn't name it the Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System.
