Read more about I-FAAST for faster file access »
Developed by Condusiv Technologies, Intelligent File Access Acceleration Sequencing Technology, or I-FAAST, is an innovative technology that analyzes each individual drive's performance data, and makes intelligent decisions about file placement on that drive resulting in faster file access. These gains are obtained by, first, the running of specially engineered benchmarks on disk volumes in order to obtain data about their performance characteristics. Once this data is learned, commonly used files are placed on the disk by I-FAAST in a way calculated to maximize speed of access. In addition to those files specified by I-FAAST, users may also specify specific files that should be so optimized. File access speed is improved by an average of 10 to 20 percent, and in some cases can be as high as 80 percent. Over time, the drive is transparently and automatically monitored for the maintenance of performance benefits—with no impact on system resources being used. Diskeeper's proprietary InvisiTasking technology is utilized for completely transparent operation. New developments in I-FAAST have resulted in added functionality for the intelligent and automatic assignment of files to the optimum type of media—a physical hard drive or a solid state drive. This assignment is based on usage frequency of files and the availability of media. I-FAAST file optimization is a unique technology which allows for faster access to commonly used files, thereby allowing users to get more done in shorter times with their computers.
"I-FAAST immediately increased my file access time better than 25% and was very noticeable."
- Starke Donnally
"We have rolled out the I-FAAST defragmentation on all the drives on the servers, and are extremely pleased with the improvements. On average we are seeing 10-22% improvements in disk access from the I-FAAST alone, and defragmentation is taking much less time once the initial defrag."
- Contractor, Wright Patterson AFB

There was an incident at my workplace on Saturday where a length of rail flicked out and snapped the ankle of a supervisor. He will be undergoing surgery and physiotherapy for six weeks. The accident could have been avoidable by a more vigilant individual, but what is done is done. What is considered important now is how he recovers. More importantly, how he chooses to recover. Whether he complains and attempts to make himself the object of pity, or shows fortitude and recovers with dignity and conviction. That is how we find his measure in this matter.
I have weak ankles, the result of old injuries and ignoring warnings from medical professionals. I am on the path towards remedying this but I still suffer twists and sprains every so often. I recover from these with resilience and composure. When I twist and fall, I get back up. I stand until I can move, whether it's a manageable limp or slow walk. I do that until I can move normally. I don't bemoan the situation, seek pity or use it as an excuse for laziness. I soldier on, as the saying goes. I have to.
Sometimes things don't go according to plan. Sometimes I fail, scarcely missing victory or at times I barely even approach it. Incorrect methodology, lack of power or a mere poor stroke of chance is all it takes to success to elude me or you. The smart person will recover, learning what lessons there are to be learnt, laying the foundations towards greater success. Conflict is a powerful way to grow because we have things to overcome. Failure is merely something else that we cannot let get the better of us.
In times of failure, our recovery is paramount. The true defeat would be allowing a moment of loss to to take its toll on your strength, sapping your willpower and confidence. When outside forces or chance overcome you, it is a momentary failure, a lack of power. When you prevent yourself from succeeding, that is the worst kind of defeat. The self can be the greatest enemy of the self.
My boss is a firm believer in that a man can be judged by how he recovers from failure; whether he takes responsibility and fixes it, or attempts to shirk responsibility and lay the blame on others. His opinion of a person can change significantly if he sees a poor recovery. When anything bad happens on the job, he'll say "It's not how we fall, it's how we get back up." It's a view I agree with.
Pain comes in many shapes and forms. Painful experiences aren't always in our control. How we manage it is how we're known and judged.

Jazak Allah Khairun for letting us know!
Abu Said (ra) said that Rasullilah (salalahi alahi wasalam) said, Whoever says:
Radeetu billahi rabban, wa bil-Islaami deenan, wa bi-Muhammadin rasoolan
Jannah becomes obligatory for him (to enter). [Abu-Dawud]
- Best said in Morning and Evening with "Nabiyan wa rasoolan"
As Salamu Alaykum
When is it coming out in US stores?
Imam ash-Shafi`i said, "Whoever takes knowledge from books loses the regulations." (man akhadha al-`ilma min al-kutubi Dayya`a al-aHkaama). [Reported by Nawawi in the introduction to "al-Majmu`"]
An English translation is also available online but inshaAllah when it is available in US (with US prices!) than I will get a hard copy for easy reading.
this work is a brilliant resource.
much of the Quran is a collection of ad-hoc formulations in response to the circumstances of the day - its impossible to understand without technical guidance.
Imam Suyuti's Asbab Al Nuzul and Al-Itqan fi `Ulum al-Qur'an are also fine works and very readable. I have come across extracts translated into urdu and Bengali....but not yet in English.
There is a recent book out called 'The Quran: an Encyclopedia' - edited by Oliver Leaman, it containes translations from both these works and other classics.
Br. Sylheti-Beta, I would encourage you to be cautious about making statements about the Quran in such a way. Perhaps, I don't quite understand what you intended but based on the way this statement reads it is a very dangerous statement and dangerous if you really believe that the Qur'an is "ad-hoc".
Al Hamdulillah,
it's a great news br.
can u just give the address where it is online.
Try the following:
"Whoever acts upon what he knows, Almighty Allah bestows upon himthe knowledge of things not known to him"(Fazaa'il-e-A'maal, Virtues of the Holy Qur'an, Part 1, under Hadith 8)

Clinton's statement of responsibility was "a laudable gesture, especially when the White House is trying to avoid any responsibility whatsoever," the Arizona senator said in a joint broadside with Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire. However, they added, "The security of Americans serving our nation everywhere in the world is ultimately the job of the commander-in-chief. The buck stops there."
Stevens, State Department computer expert Sean Smith and security contractors Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods died in the Benghazi assault, which State Department officials now say was the work of dozens of armed men.
Clinton also described a desperate scene in the State Department during the hours of the attack, as staff tried to find out what had happened.
"This was a many-hour ordeal that we were all involved in, and I was deeply concerned as you would obviously assume, to hear about an attack," she said. Not only was the picture coming out of Libya murky, but also, "Then we couldn't find Ambassador Stevens, and we were trying desperately to figure out what happened to him and to Sean Smith and to the others who were there."
Clinton said her mission now is to make sure such an attack will never happen again, and also to ensure the work of American diplomats won't be stopped even in dangerous areas like Benghazi.
"We can't retreat. We have to continue to lead. We have to be engaged," she said. "We can't hang out behind walls." She said Stevens, who came to Benghazi on a cargo ship to start building ties with rebel leaders during last year's revolt, "knew that more than anybody."

Super Sunday volunteers to man phones By Judith Franklin When the phone rings on Super Sunday and the caller identifies himself as a volunteer working for the annual Columbus Jewish Federation Campaign, to whom are you talking and what exactly it is that he wants from you? According to Judith Swedlow, one of the founders of the United Jewish Appeal National Training Center and a member of the UJA Executive Committee and the executive committee and board of the local Federation, there is no "average" volunteer. "They are both newcomers to central Ohio and veteran leadership. They are men as well as women. They are all ages, from high school students to senior citizens," Swedlow explained, adding, "The one thing they do have in common, though, is their sense of commitment to the community." The caller will most likely be someone you know — one of your neighbors, the Tuesday driver in your carpool, a fellow member of Hadassah or B'nai B'rith Men, who like Betsey Fettman, feels that this is one of the best ways in which she can be involved in the community. Active in the Federation's Young Jewish Professionals group and Young Women's Division, the Canton, Ohio native , explained, "I believe in what the Federation does and where the money goes, but I can only give so much. By calling others, I can be more effective." She also stressed the educational aspect of the telethon. "We let people know where the money is going, whether it's in Israel, nationally or in our community. It's amazing how many different places the money goes and the causes it supports. It's really compelling." . Ted Bloom, another VIP member, echoes Fettman's sentiments. "It's the responsi- ble thing to do," he noted about being a telethon participant. "When I was young, I took advantage of many of the facilities funded by the Federation. Now it's time to 'pay forward' a little," explaining that "you can't pay back." Many of the volunteers feel that way. "The community, has given so much to me and my family, any way I can give something back is critical," said Robert Keidan, an 11-year Super Sunday volunteer. v To many, soliciting for the Federation has become a tradition. Helen Nutis, for instance, has been calling ever since she was a teenager. "It's a civic responsibility," she said. "I learned from my parents about the importance of tzedakah, helping others.", Nutis, active in a wide variety of area organizations over the years, has seen many changes in the Campaign. "More of the community is involved in the Campaign now," she said. "There used to be only a hand- full of us ... and the Cam paign is much more dignified today." To prepare them for calling, all volunteers receive a short, 20-minute training session, Swedlow said, which explains mechanical procedures, provides suggested scripts, up>- dates them on the needs of the Campaign and throws in "a bit of motivation. We try to stress that it is our obligation to find every Jew and give him or her the opportunity to participate in tzedakah. We don't solicit them; they solicit themselves. We don't beg. We don't plead. We ask." Potential donors are informed about current local, national and international Jewish community needs and are reminded of the amount they pledged the previous year. Then they are asked to increase that amount, due to escalating, ever changing needs and the effects of inflation. Fund raising is not the sole reason for the calls, Swedlow see VOLUNTEERS pg. 25 1

ESPN's Bayless: Sixers suckers in Bynum trade
According to Skip Bayless of ESPN, there's really no reason for the 76ers to await anxiously the results of Andrew Bynum's Dec. 20 checkup.
ESPN's Bayless: Sixers suckers in Bynum trade
According to Skip Bayless of ESPN, there's really no reason for the 76ers to await anxiously the results of Andrew Bynum's Dec. 20 checkup.
Bayless, one of the hosts on ESPN's "First Take," said on Tuesday's show that the Sixers were the suckers in the four-team trade that landed Dwight Howard with the foundering Los Angeles Lakers.
"I spoke the other day to a very reliable Sixers source - I spoke to somebody I trust - who told me and confirmed to me Andrew Bynum's knees are shot," Bayless said. "We're talking about beyond repair, progressive arthritis, deep degeneration, unfixable.
"The source said that he will try to play," Bayless continued. "He might even occasionally over the next year or two have a decent game here and there. But long-term this will get only worse – only worse. So bottom line, the Sixers got taken in this trade that ultimately landed Dwight Howard in Los Angeles."
Bynum on Monday said that his right knee, site of the first bone bruise, feels fine, adding that it is the left knee, the one he hurt while bowling, that is causing him pain.
"There is nothing I can really do about it; it's arthritis in the knees," Bynum said. "The cartilage is missing so that's not something that's going to re-grow itself. Maybe in the future, next three to five years there may be something out there that really does help. For right now it's kind of just a waiting game."
Also, Dwight never guaranteed as you pointed out to stay with the Lakers. He may end up in Brooklyn. With the new head coach, Kobe getting on him, and the surrounding pieces are either old (Kobe, Pau and Meeta) or not good. Manok- phillyart

I have said wheel in my classroom, and it's worked well for me, the past couple years. However, the speed adjustment was always a bit "Sticky". So recently, I decided to try and fix that. So I turned the wheel on its side, and sprayed a bit of WD-40 along the rod, where the motor pivots forward. This made the movement smoother, to be sure, but now, the pedal won't hold the slower speeds at all. So the user has to keep their foot on the pedal, to control speed.
Any tips?

Social networking is, whether we like it or not, a part of life.
The fact that things come up on the interwebs that are just morally repugnant … well, I've always written it off as kind of a necessary evil, a sort of "let's laugh at the ignorant" kind of thing.
There's a contingency on Tweeter, however, that seems to be taking matters into their own hands.
Thousands of people across the globe are joining a Twitter campaign asking Facebook to remove pages that promote rape and sexual assault, Change.org said in a Nov 3 press statement. The social media action is part of an ongoing campaign on Change.org with more than 180,000 supporters. People are locating offensive Facebook pages and tweeting them with the hashtag #notfunnyfacebook to pressure Facebook to remove pages that violate the company's terms of service. One such page title reads, "What's 10 inches and gets girls to have sex with me? My knife."
While I have a kneejerk reaction to jump on this bandwagon (after all, I can see myself contemplating joining a group called, say, "Herman Cain is a Sexual Predator" or something), I have some obvious reservations.
The most significant concern this raises for me is, ironically, the Constitutional right to express your beliefs, an argument more commonly espoused by the radical right as it fits their needs.
Do you sound like a freaking moron if you, as a much-maligned high school principal did last year, join a Facebook group entitled "Dear Lord, This Year You Took My Favorite Actor, Patrick Swazie (sic). You Took My Favorite Actress Farah (sic) Fawcett. You Took My Favorite Singer, Michael Jackson. I Just Wanted to Let You Know, My Favorite President is Barack Obama. Amen"?
Does the First Amendment allow you the legal freedom to show your ignorance, bigotry, and blatant disrespect?
Um … yes.
The fact is, there are Facebook pages that promote all sorts of horrible things, from pedophilia to violence against women to trash-talking the size of your ex's penis (I wish I was joking on that one, and no, I'm not a member) to how to set up a casual hook-up.
Oh, and, uh … Twitter's not exactly immune from this sort of thing itself, as Anthony Wiener could tell you.
I'm clearly a loser … Facebook pages I belong to are generally based in literature or Star Wars. (And, to be completely upfront, I have a Twitter, too, which I love as it offers far more anonymity than Facebook)
That being said, the nature of my profession necessitates that I hold much of my personal life back in the social networking world. Even if I—as Katie Loud the human being, not the schoolteacher currently teaching your kids allegory through George Orwell's Animal Farm—wanted to join an anti-Herman Cain Facebook page, I wouldn't.
It's a matter of respect.
So while I find a lot of these pages pretty hard to take, I pretty much keep myself to myself in terms of the me that exists on Facebook. Even if I were not in a profession held to a higher standard than most, I would make a moral, personal choice to not be mean … that's just not who I am.
Others certainly have the right to feel differently, and I'm glad that the Twitterphiles are speaking out about their concerns. I even agree with the moral bottom line of their argument.
I am bothered by their choice to focus on sexual assault pages on Facebook to spearhead their attack. I am very vocal on my feelings about sexual assault, but I'm also bothered when it's used as a rallying cry to make a point that I'm not sure I agree with.
What are your thoughts on this one?

Dodson also announced a four-year plan to put Glasgow and Edinburgh among the best teams in Europe.
The plan was unveiled by the SRU as Dodson addressed Saturday's AGM for the first time.
Scotland lost every game of this year's Six Nations but turned the tables with a 100% record in their summer tour with victories over Australia, Samoa and Fiji.
Dodson said: "The goals we've set reflect our ambition for the game in Scotland.
"With unity, and support from the whole nation, there is no reason we can't achieve those goals.
"We are making real progress in revitalising the game of rugby in Scotland."
Edinburgh reached the Heineken Cup semi-finals while Glasgow made the RaboDirect Pro12 play-offs and Dodson believes the performances of the two clubs are key to the Scottish game's future.
"Since I joined Scottish Rugby I've said I want to place much greater focus on making the pro clubs as successful as we can," he said.
"By better aligning our professional sides with clubs sides around the country we will be able to support and nurture the grassroots and the top tier of the game.
"I firmly believe that by doing that, we will create a virtuous circle, which benefits every club and player in the country.
"We want to capitalise on the good seasons enjoyed at the Warriors and Edinburgh Rugby and challenge them to go even further in this coming season.
"More successful pro clubs means more interest in the sport and more money coming into the game. That filters back down to the clubs and schools at the grassroots.
"They can then encourage and nurture the next generation of talent, the next generation who aspire to lead out their team or even the national side to success."
Dodson reported a surplus of £1.6million with turnover increasing by £3.1million.
Additional hospitality, event and income from the professional clubs along with World Cup money contributed to this and offset lower revenues from ticketing and broadcasting in a season in which Scotland had two home Six Nations games.

In a nip-and-tuck game, LaGrange outlasted Callaway 57-52 to improve to 5-0.
For Callaway (0-2), it was a second straight close loss to a county rival after falling to Troup 55-52 the night before.
In Saturday's game, which was played in front of a raucous, standing-room only crowd at Callaway High, the Grangers trailed 24-22 at the half, and they were struggling to get their offense on track.
The Grangers picked up the pace in the second half and scored 35 points, and that was just enough to dispatch the stubborn Cavaliers.
"The second half, our goal was to try to create a little more pace," LaGrange head coach Mike Pauley said. "We made a couple of adjustments that allowed us to pick up the pace a little bit, and we hit a couple of baskets. That was the difference."
For Callaway, while head coach Terry Hayes was happy with the defensive effort, he felt the offensive execution could have been better.
"The biggest thing I saw tonight was, we've got to run our offense better," Hayes said. "We have to be able to make short jump shots and layups."
As for the defense, Hayes said "our kids did a good job. There were a few breakdowns, but overall they did well."
The Cavaliers were strong early, with Tyrell Tigner's steal and layup putting Callaway up 15-10 after the first quarter.
The Grangers went on a 5-0 run at the start of the second quarter to pull even, and neither team led by more than three points for the rest of the period, and the Cavaliers held a 24-22 lead at the half.
The Grangers surged at the start of the second half, and they took their biggest lead of the game at 31-26 on a Kwame Brown bucket with 4:40 left in the third period.
The Cavaliers hung tough, though, and Tigner nailed a 3-pointer with 13 seconds left in the quarter to trim the Grangers' lead to 34-33.
Back came the Grangers, who went up 42-35 with 3:45 left in the game after Justyn Olson and Baron Smith hit 3-pointers.
The Grangers were still up by seven when Tigner drained a 3-pointer with 1:06 left to make it a 46-42 game.
The Cavaliers were unable to score again, though, and the Grangers held on for the win.
"Give LaGrange credit. They did a great job," Hayes said. "It's nothing we did wrong."

Comments about JBL 43" (134.6 cm) Sawed-Off Magnum XHD Triple Sling Spear Gun (4D44XHD):
The only gun I have owned. It's killed lots of fish but the range is a little limited. I have used other guns with and can tell the difference in range.I have brought quite a few 50-65lb amberjacks to the boat with this gun. Also the line is a little too long for when shotting bigger fish and you end up with a lot of line floating around in the water while trying to pull in fish.Construction is good. I have delayed cleaning a few times and have had no problems.

I think the biggest reason is the radical nationalism especailly in the baltics
The main reason, according to me, is that there was a gap between the level of education and what job people could expect to obtain. So there was frustration in the Soviet society. The second reason is that there was too much democracy in the USSR, as Chernenko said.
"Mao was just a degenerated Trotsky." Dagoth Ur "fishing is part of agriculture" Gred
First of all, it's important to note that the USSR was destroyed by a combination of erroneous policy (Gorbachev) and conscious work to dismantle the country (Yakovlev, Shevardnadze, Yeltsin and republican 'presidents', etc.). Gorbachev 'reformed' the economy into the ground, creating deficits for literally everything by 1989, while simultaneously unleashing forces hostile not only to socialism, but to the idea of the union itself through the reform of the political system (new Congress of People's Deputies, destruction of the Central Committee's powers, creation of a national and republican level presidential system). Yakovlev's real hatred for everything the USSR stood for wasn't revealed until later, but he used his position in the Propaganda Department of the CC to unleash a destructive ideological war against socialism and the USSR, appointing many outright counterrevolutionaries in important positions in the academia, the media, and the artistic unions, and convincing the mass intelligentsia (50 million people) and much of the population at large that the entirety of the Soviet experience and everything people had struggled for was a bloody mistake. Shevardnadze worked on the foreign policy front, destroying 40 years of careful diplomacy, abandoning all of the USSR's old allies, ending the USSR's status as a base for socialism in the world, and giving up strategic positions for verbal hints of promises (for example that after the absorption of East Germany into West NATO would not move any further east). Yeltsin and co. -the actual people responsible for signing away the USSR, were merely the result of several years of intense anti-socialist and anti-Soviet warfare on almost every front of activity -social, economic, political. That is why I put 'other'.
"The thing about capitalism is that it sounds awful on paper and is horrendous in practice. Communism sounds wonderful on paper and when it was put into practice it was done pretty well for what they had to work with." -MiG
A combination of all these things were responsible for the USSR's dissolution. Ultimately it was the Soviet Union's stagnant economy that gave way to its downfall. People had lost faith in the government's ability to fix the growing economic problems, giving way to nationalism and splitting the USSR into 15 separate states.
The arms race, corruption, and nationalism all hastened its downfall. We have beaten you to the moon, but you have beaten us in sausage making.- Nikita Khrushchev Soviet wrote: But you see, the growing economic problems were the result of the reform effort, which upon even cursory appraisal was extremely ill-planned and carried out. The so-called era of stagnation, despite its problems, is probably the most fondly remembered part of Soviet history, if not Russian history as a whole. Also, when you say 'people lost faith', it's important that what an individual thinks and feels is very often largely irrelevant to the social order if there is no voice to speak on his behalf in a public and political manner. Hence people were made to lose faith because precisely at the same time that economic reform was driving the economy into the ground, political reform made it possible for nationalists to voice chauvinist and separatist views. Even more than that, Yakovlev's propaganda apparatus was destroying the historical, cultural and social pillars upon which Soviet socialism rested through intense information warfare, moving the collective outlook of the mass intelligentsia toward liberalism while undermining and demoralizing CPSU loyalists and their supporters from among the working masses. As I've said before, I've often pondered whether any society could withstand the economic, political and social pressures experienced in the USSR in the late 1980s. Of course this is all hypothetical, since the bourgeoisie have few class traitors among their upper ranks, and the ones that do get through are marketed ala Che Guevara to kids rebelling against their parents, the political impact of their artistic or academic efforts thus largely defused. "The thing about capitalism is that it sounds awful on paper and is horrendous in practice. Communism sounds wonderful on paper and when it was put into practice it was done pretty well for what they had to work with." -MiG
Treason and plot, mostly.
Capitalist roaders viciously exploited people's desire for a less restrictive government in order to push forward treasonous capitalist-roader policy. Unfortunately, the system lacked effective checks on traitorous apparatchicks, and the shit hit the fan. Cm'on baby, eat the rich!!! - Motörhead
I have two articles originally written in spanish but that I translated in Google (you might find some errors) which are definitely appropriate for this thread. Regarding the poll, there were many reasons for the fall of USSR and every one of the mentioned contributed for it. However, after reading these two articles I'm more inclined to say that was an internal push from the head of the system to bring down the economy and the country to the total collapse, clearly influenced and supported by the USA. As you know a restricted group of persons benefited a lot from the fall of the USSR becoming billionaires overnight while others benefited from a political point of view such as Yeltsin, the Russian president highly supported by the USA Government.
The shortage in the USSR was created in an artificial way The shortage was created in a conscious, artificial, but not at the stage of production, but in the sphere of distribution. The aim was to create social tension in the country. Valentina Rushnikova | Pravda | 20/11/2011 at 7:25 | 1467 reads | 21 comments www.kaosenlared.net / news / shortages-USSR-think-so-artificial 20 years ago, the destroyers of the Land of the Soviets managed to complete the coup and begin the restoration of capitalism in our country. Long before 1991 and had created and was fully operational "fifth column", progressively instilled in the consciousness of people disrespect for the socialist way of life, often causing problems in an artificial way. Not only operated the anti-Soviet propaganda, which made use of certain difficulties of the socialist system, was also up sabotaging activity, hidden until now. One of the main directions to exacerbate the tension in society was the artificial creation of problems related to the supply of consumer goods, primarily food products. Since the mid-80's in many cities and towns became scarce food products in many windows of stores, not just the delicious, but also dairy products. It was a process that was growing from year to year, with the exception of the capital, where the variety of food products remained at a decent level. This bias in favor of Moscow on supplies of food items, generated many problems. Began arriving in the capital flows of people coming from regions near the capital, and even more remote regions of the country. The system travels to the capital to get stuffed, the endless queues at shops, exhausted and motivated people discontent with the situation, both among the Muscovites, and among those who came from outside. That was what they wanted the "foremen of perestroika." Thus, for the current critics of the Soviet period, the main argument against socialism ─ after the "Stalinist repression" ─ was the alleged widespread shortage of food products and other consumer goods. But those same critics fail to mention, on purpose, the real cause of that shortage. For example, in 1987 the volume of production of the food industry, in comparison with the indicators 1980, had grown to 130%. In the meat industry, this growth compared ─ ─ 1980 was 135%, in the dairy industry was 131% in the fish of 132% and the derivative of the flour, of a 123%. In that same period, the population growth was 6.7% while the average wage in the economy grew on average by 19%. Consequently, the production of food in our country was way ahead of population growth and purchasing power. All companies in the food industry working at full capacity, they were guaranteed supplies of agricultural products and other raw materials necessary for its operation and workforce. Mean that the development of food industry in any way could be the cause of the scarcity of gender in grocery stores. Therefore it should only take a deduction: the shortage was generated in a conscious, artificial, but not at the stage of production, but in the sphere of distribution. The aim was to create social tension in the country. By the way, that our generation remembers well the program "600 seconds". In it, in 1990, reports were quite eloquent on how you destroyed sausage, butter, oil and other products that were deficient in that time. In one of the publications of the time, the then mayor of Moscow and now adviser to the mayor (!), Gabriel Popov, recognized those cases where food products are destroyed in order to create scarcity in the city. The press reported how they had stopped in unison, to be repaired, all companies producing snuff, and detergent. In general we still do not know their names, still in shadow, the instigators, organizers and executors of that economic sabotage. It remains a mystery how and in what direction is no such huge amount of food products. The few publications that are available on the subject, only give rise to presuppose how the shortage was generated. The sabotage was successful and the capitalist mode came to replace the socialist mode of production. Bourgeois propaganda continuously deliberates on the windows full of products in stores and on the abundance of food products. One might think that the shortages are resolved. But how? Since then it has not been through the development of the agribusiness sector, but by the importation of foreign food products and ─ and this is the main ─ due to low purchasing power of the population. The shortage remains, only a hidden mode. Furthermore imports are from outside (except for those from Belarus) are of a more than doubtful, he would never have admitted to the USSR. Compared to the Soviet period, has worsened significantly the quality of domestic production. To replace natural materials arrived substitutes, additions and equivalents.

David Kotz - Fred Weir | East Wind | 09.01.2011 at 8:44 | 2442 reads | 20 comments www.kaosenlared.net / news / drop-USSR-myth-economic collapse Increasingly, scholars, experts in their fields, are rethinking many widespread views about the Soviet Union. One of the most widespread myths is that of economic collapse, and also one of those being questioned. According to this myth, the fall of the USSR would have been the result primarily of a brutal economic crisis (for the inefficiency of the system). However, both in Russia and beyond, many think that the fall of the USSR was not much to do with a supposed economic crisis, but rather, it was a process initiated by the elite of the USSR itself, and economic crisis would not the cause of reform, but the consequence of them, even if used as an excuse. This is a fairly widespread in Russia (see for example studies of Kara-Murza and others, some of them even translated into Spanish), but is also shared by others. Here for example I present the summary of an article by David Kotz and Fred Wair, published in Hungarian "Eszmélet" left ("Conscience"). The article is a summary of his book "Revolution from above: the demise of the Soviet system" (read it partially on the Internet here in English, I have not done it yet). Regarding the article, I disagree with everything that both authors discuss but generally I find very interesting analysis. The authors start from the idea, trying to demonstrate in his text, that although the USSR had serious economic problems, no indication that there is danger of economic collapse, and indeed this did not occur until the country's elites destroyed the economic system existing. It was the country's undemocratic structure that caused the catastrophe, not the planned economy. They start talking about Soviet planning and its history: Since 1917 the Bolsheviks tests various ways in terms of economic structure. Only in the 20 arises what has been called "the Soviet system." Was characterized by all non-agricultural enterprises were socially owned and were led, ultimately, by a central institution in Moscow. Despite this, the Soviet economy achieved high growth and rapid development. Many think that this rapid growth was achieved by the measures Stalinist repression by certain sections of society, and the difficult living conditions. But the authors say it was quite the opposite, that the Stalinist regime slowed economic growth, which could have been much larger than it actually was. Between 1928 and 75 the Soviet economy grew at a rate of 5.1% per year. Between 1950 and 75, when the economy was already industrialized Soviet economic growth remained high, even more than the U.S.. The Soviet system had many advantages over capitalism: for example full employment, the possibility of using corporate profits massively in the development of education and training, and also was not affected by the periodic crises of capitalism. Not everything can be measured by GDP or economic growth, but by 1975, the country was behind the USSR had become an economic powerhouse in many ways competing with the U.S., and some even exceeded them (see for example the space race). In 1960 half of all Soviet families had radio, TV and 10% in 25 refrigerator, in 1985 families had all of these appliances. In 1980 the USSR had more doctors and hospital beds than the U.S.. On the 70 scientific, technological and economic of the USSR was followed with alarm the Western powers. Many thought the future would be the Soviet regime because of its great achievements, despite their negative traits. However, since 1975 the Soviet economy disrupts the rapid development that had until then. And technological progress also stops. For the first time in a decade, the U.S. economy is growing faster than the Soviet. In addition, the arms race, reinforced by the Reagan administration, severely affected the Soviet economy. In 1985 Gorbachev came to power, is the recognition of the elite led by the USSR, that reforms are needed. But his reforms did not bring an improvement of the situation and production continued to be subdued. Between 1985 and 1989 the average Soviet economic growth was 2.2% instead of 1.8% between 1975 and 1985. But since 1975 there has never been negative growth, while in the U.S. it was in three years. By the end of the 80 commodity shortage is accentuated. For Western analysts, this meant the first signs of collapse, but the explanation was another reason was that the family income had increased much more than the production of consumer goods, that were to blame for the economic reforms that had decentralized production and control were no longer income. Thus, if the mid-80's the family income grew by 3-4% annually in 1988 jumps to 9.1% in 1989 to 12.8%. But while prices, which had been set yet by the central institutions, did not change much of anything. So people found a lot of money in the hands that want to spend as soon as possible and then it turned out that the stores were completely empty. In fact consumption continued to grow. It is true that the Soviet economy did not get a remarkable growth in the 80's, but that image of economic collapse is false. However, in 1990 and 1991 is another matter. Gorbachev is losing power against Yeltsin. In May 1990, Yeltsin took power in the Russian Federation and tried to accumulate all the power in their hands and take him away from the Soviet authorities. This economic planning institutions were no real power and the Soviet economy, which was a homogeneous whole, began to decompose rapidly. This is important to highlight: the crisis did not come by the inability of the planned economy, but it was removed by the planned economy and the economy was no effective means of coordination. The elite choose capitalism: How is it possible that the Soviet regime fell without apparent internal opposition? Gorbachev and his circle believed that the main problem of the Soviet regime was the lack of democracy. Thus develops the perestroika (restructuring, reconstruction). In the country there are three focus groups (had more but they were minor): supporters of the reforms, in favor of keeping the system as such, and those who radically rejected communism. It imposed the anti-Communist, led by Yeltsin, especially since it won the support of the country's elites. Studies of Alec Nove, Farmer, Mathews and others show that after the Second World War was the Soviet elite social stratum defined ambitious and unprincipled. They cared only power and personal gain. In 1991 many members of this elite openly acknowledged that they were not Communists, but were in the Communist Party. This breed of opportunists assessed their options with the arrival of Gorbachev's reforms. Not benefited Gorbachev's democratic socialism and very few members of this elite supported the advocacy groups back the old system. Although this was the system that gave them power, while it limited, for example did not allow private ownership and therefore the accumulation of property. When in 1991 there is a coup attempt against the reforms, this fails because the elite positions in favor of Yeltsin. This elite was eager to get the position it enjoyed in the West. And he understood that his position as new capitalists in the country offered many advantages. For example happened with Viktor Chernomyrdin, Russian prime minister between 1992 and 1998, during the Soviet era had been minister of production and gas treatment. Today is one of the richest men in the world and major shareholder of Gazprom. According to an analysis of the 100 leading businessmen from Russia, 62 were members of the Communist elite, 38 come from the black economy and the world of crime. A June 1991 study of American politicóloga Judith Kullberg, shows that 77% of the upper classes favored Soviet capitalism, while 12% of democratic socialism and 10% of "communism or nationalism." According to a 1991 study by an American foundation in European Russia, 10% of the population wanted a return to pre-reform system, 36% were in favor of democratic socialism, 23% Swedish social democratic model, and only 17% wanted a system similar to American or German capitalism. Ie, 69% wanted some form of socialism. Other studies and surveys show even lower rate of support to Western capitalism. The reformists dominated the Soviet structures of power, the capitalists instead dominated the Russians, so his main goal was to somehow destroy the USSR. However, the referendum of 1991 showed that most of the population was against something. The article also mentions interesting facts about the economy of the USSR: Economic Growth 1928-1975: 1928-40: USSR-US-5.8% 1.7% 1940-50: USSR-US-2.2% 4.5% 1950-70: USSR-US-4.8% 2.9% 1975-85: USSR-US-1.8% 2.9% Source: The Real National Income of Soviet Russia since 1928, Abraham Bergson, 1961, Measures of Soviet National Product in 1982 Prices, Joint Economic Committee, U.S. Congress.

Quote: Thanks JAM, excellent articles. With regard to why Gorbachev and co. decided on this 'internal push', I think your point about distinguishing various actors' motivations is important. In the case of someone like Yeltsin, money, as much as power, played a very important role, given the largess and corruption during his presidency with 'the family'. With people like Gorbachev and Yakovlev, ideological goals and ambitions were more important I think, Gorbachev dreaming of some idealized form of social democracy (and of a role for himself as the freer of Russia and unifier of the world in peace) while Yakovlev was just a (counter)revolutionary who had no ambition but to destroy a system which he intensely hated for many decades while two-facedly singing its praises. Valentina Rushnikova's point about artificial shortages is definitely something to be considered in addition to the other factors that brought the economy to a standstill, and it's something that is still only rarely found in most academic literature I've seen about the collapse. I've seen a couple of those '600 Seconds' programs on youtube, and they show the trainloads of spoiled goods. I'm not 100% certain, but I think the idea of a fifth column within the economy is only part of the story, accounted for by black marketeers seeking higher prices through shortages, and counterrevolutionaries within the leadership (including people like Gavril Popov) who wanted to 'prove the inefficiency' of socialist economics. Part of it too can be accounted for through the elimination of party control over local economic decision-making, occurring after the 1988 Party Conference, which literally ripped the roots out from underneath the economic system, given that these party managers were real regional economic managers responsible for ensuring that production quotas were met, that enterprises had all the necessary components, and that they had a means by which to distribute their finished products. "The thing about capitalism is that it sounds awful on paper and is horrendous in practice. Communism sounds wonderful on paper and when it was put into practice it was done pretty well for what they had to work with." -MiG
Thr crucial question, of course , is how the hell did it come to this? When did these people take up their positions? Who supported them?
I mean we can see that the CPSU was swarming with outright counterrevolutionaries by the 80s. How did they manage to worm themselves in?
Two-facedness played a huge role, I'd say. When looking up work by Yakovlev, I found one which I believe was called 'On the Edge of an Abyss: From Truman to Reagan", published in 1985, and in it is basically an extreme, even absurdly hateful rant about the United States, its foreign policy, how it treated natives and blacks, etc. Then there was personal patronage and friendship. Gorbachev became very close friends with Andropov when he was first secretary of Stavropol, which had some excellent health resorts which some members of the top leadership visited. As a good apparatchik, Gorbachev would always take care to check up on the leaders personally, to get name recognition going and to build contacts. Among them was of course his contact and eventual friendship with Andropov. What could they have talked about in terms of politics? Probably that the country needed new blood in the leadership, that corruption needed to be cracked down on, that pragmatism rather than dogmatism should guide policy. I've read that they loved to sit around a camp fire, that they sang together, and that they had very friendly personal relations. Other than that it's a matter of speculation as to what they actually talked about, and whether Andropov was a secret liberal (as it is now posh to say among some circles in Russia). It is true that he consulted with some prominent liberal-leaning intellectuals, but he was also imprisoning, exiling and expelling anti-Soviet agitators at the same time.

Other: the slow eroding and dissolution of the Socialist system since 1953, when revisionism became part of the state ideology of the Soviet Union.
"Communism is more about love for mankind than about politics." Me
Andropov is unjustly caricaturized as a conservative and a hardliner in the West... But he was no Chernenko. He was actually a moderate reformer. He'd been the least heavy-handed, smartest KGB chief in a long time, and he much preferred finesse and subtle manipulation and maneuvering to cracking skulls open. Although he was a bonafide communist, he was probably sympathetic to some of Gorbachev's most palatable policy proposals: (another thaw, making the economy more participatory, cracking down on corruption, that kinda stuff) Gorbachev had not yet decided to put an outright anticommunist to lead Soviet propaganda, so Andropov had no way to know. The KGB, for all its successes, was not prescient.
Gorbachev had supported the Brezhnev doctrine and Soviet policy in general to that time, expressing only marginal reservations and not going into outright opposition. Andropov had no reason to suspect Gorby was anything else than a moderate reformer... So he didn't. It's possible that he realized during his later days, as Gorby got more brash on his Soc-Dem deviation... But Comrade Yuri was gravely ill by that time, and he might've had little chance to stop'im. Gorby's vagueness and vapidness should have raised a few red flags: Andropov just assumed it was due to Gorby's youth, idealism and inexperience, something that'd get ironed out as he aged and learnt Politburo-level politics.

Why when the topic of the USSR dissolution is approached there is no minimal reference to the referendum held in 1991 to ask the soviet people if they wanted to maintain the USSR or not?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Uni ... ndum,_1991 The turnout was huge and the support for the maintenance of the USSR was overwhelming. The results weren't even contested by the opposition. "If I could control Hollywood, I could control the world." -Joseph Stalin
Voted "Arms Race" although all of these played a factor. The high amount of spending was very detrimental.

Voted 'Other'
I agree with Soviet78's posts, but to point out, I specifically blame the 91 coup attempt made by the hard-liners on the actual dissolution of the union. Revisionism, both de-stalinisation earlier and later on Gorbachev's reforms were instrumental in the decline of socialism and breaking off the solidarity between the working class of the republics, but I believe some sort of a union would have survived if that coup attempt never happened, or if it was successful.
Re: Arms race:
Please take a look at these articles using googletranslate to see how erroneous it is to presume that military expenditure had a role in the collapse of the country: http://tinyurl.com/7dq4686 http://clubs.ya.ru/4611686018427398066/replies.xml?item_no=348107 -> Both articles actually mention that the extreme exaggerations of spending were a part of the information war being waged from within against the Soviet regime, making it clear that the appearance of intolerably high spending played a more important role than the spending levels themselves. newsovietunion, I think that the coup was destined to fail, largely because it was led by the mostly ineffective group of apparatchiks (Oleg Shenin excluded) which Gorbachev himself had promoted to ensure that someone stronger than himself wouldn't emerge to challenge him. By 1991 the CPSU was effectively smashed, nationalist and liberal politicians grew their authority every day and the black marketeers and street gangs had emerged as a real economic (and hence social and political) force. The reason that the coup attempt occurred when it did was because Gorbachev's cabinet got a hold of the secret negotiations between Gorbachev and the republican and regional 'presidents' for the new union treaty, which had been leaked in the press. These secret discussions revealed that in addition to republics, every region and down to the oblast level in some cases would have republican level powers over everything from taxation to health, policing, etc., basically creating over a hundred semi-states within the state (with the CPSU banned from many institutions, such as the army, in the RSFSR and elsewhere). Some contemporary analysts note that if this treaty had gone through, not only the USSR but the Russian Federation and some other republics would be embroiled in civil war, perhaps to the point of national destruction, since those that found power lying on the side of the road would not be likely to give it up easily. In the midst of chaos worse than what occurred historically, there is little doubt that the US, the emergent EU and China would step in to 'restore order' and in the case of the West, 'to protect human rights'. I would say that the point of no return was reached in 1990, where like an idiot, Gorbachev took up the presidency basically signing away most of his duties and responsibility to the republican level 'presidents', who proceed to challenge and fight him for every imaginable form of authority. The critical point for the preservation of Marxist-Leninist socialism had already come as early as early summer 1988, where the socialist economy was effectively smashed and conservative members of the Politburo and Central Committee were forcibly retired at the May-June Party Conference. Not many know about this, but during the closing days of the Conference Gorbachev had put the Moscow Military District on full alert in anticipation of resistance that never came.

Communism sounds wonderful on paper and when it was put into practice it was done pretty well for what they had to work with." -MiG

The fall of the USSR was a mixture of internal and external political problems and economic problems, hastened by the disastrous leadership of the late 80s (Gorbachev, a social-democrat).

A Country Caught in Historic Drought — PICTURES
By Brian Resnick
Updated: July 19, 2012 | 1:31 p.m.
July 19, 2012 | 12:58 p.m.
The country is currently in the midst of the worst drought in more than 50 years, and its effects are rippling across the heartland and throughout the agricultural economy. Seventy percent of the Midwest is now in a state of drought, which doesn't bode well for corn and cattle production.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on Wednesday said that "we would anticipate in the short term, food prices for beef, poultry, and pork may go down a bit.... But over time they will rise," as will the price of processed foods.
Collected here are images of the drought's impact on the nation's midsection.

SOURCE Gas Processors Association
TULSA, Okla., Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Gas Processors Association (GPA) today announced two new director appointments for the incorporated non-profit trade association serving the midstream energy sector.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130226/DC66790LOGO)
GPA has named Debbie Beaver as director of technical services and hired Crystal Myers in the newly created director of communications position.
Prior to joining GPA, Beaver started her career with The Williams Companies and worked in various roles with the company for more than 25 years. Her most recent position in government affairs required extensive familiarity with the industry's concepts, practices and procedures.
In her role as director of technical services, Beaver will be responsible for leading the association's research and technical initiatives. Through its cooperative research program, GPA has invested more than $14 million toward research efforts that have resulted in 200+ reports and 30 technical publications, benefitting the industry and serving as an example for other cooperative programs.
"GPA was founded in the 1920s because of the desperate need for natural gas specifications at that time, so research and technical activities are the core of this association, even to this day," said Mark Sutton, GPA executive director. "Debbie has brought with her a wealth of industry knowledge to GPA, along with invaluable organizational, analytical and research skills. We are pleased that she'll be leading these important efforts."
Myers joins GPA as director of communications, having most recently worked in a communications role for the association on a contract basis for the past 6 years through Dollahon Public Relations. Prior to that, she worked for ConocoPhillips' corporate communications and transportation divisions with focus on internal communications at the company's headquarters in Houston.
Myers will serve as the media contact for the association and will develop and oversee the organization's overall communications strategy.
"Our increased advocacy efforts have continuously heightened GPA's visibility, especially during the last five years," Sutton said. "Crystal's communications expertise and her knowledge of our association and industry will further strengthen GPA's identity with our stakeholders."
GPA will connect with more than 2,000 stakeholders at its 92nd annual GPA Convention, which will be held in San Antonio, Texas, April 7 – 10. The conference brings together midstream professionals from around the world to share the latest information in research, technology, legislative and regulatory matters and safe operations.
