Paul Buchheit , Op-Ed: As summarized by the UN's International Policy Centre, "Privatization has failed on several counts...the focus of investors on cost recovery has not promoted social objectives, such as reducing poverty and promoting equity." Policy Dialogue adds the reminder that the most prosperous countries in recent years - China, India Vietnam - have relied on millions of small enterprises rather than a large-scale privatization policy. 
Stephan Salisbury, Op-Ed: "Neighborhood residents gathered on lawns along the street, upset at what had happened near their homes, upset at what has been occurring repeatedly in Anaheim. Then, police, seeking to disperse the crowd, began firing what appeared to be rubber bullets and bean bag rounds directly at those women and children, among others. Screaming chaos ensued. A police dog was unleashed and lunged for a toddler in a stroller." 
Zach Toombs, News Report: In 2011, she was paid a salary and bonus totaling $660,390, deferred compensation of $769,574, and $232,872 labeled as "retired pay" on the financial disclosure form. Lockheed is the Defense Department's largest corporate contractor, earning $28.3 billion, or 61 percent, of its sales from the department in 2011, according to the company's annual report. 
Jim Hightower, Op-Ed: The "how" has now been well documented: Romney's corporate takeover outfit, Bain Capital, practiced the hocus-pocus of legalized Wall Street robbery known as private equity deals. Bain continues to put millions in Mitt's pocket, even as it has bankrupted companies, cut thousands of jobs, and slashed workers' pay. But where did he put his booty? 
Anthony Gucciardi, News Report: "It is only a two hectare trial, but that's like saying you're only a little bit pregnant, there are no grey areas with GM…. Organic Trust calls on Teagasc not to act on the approval granted but to adhere to the wishes of the vast majority of Irish citizens not to pollute our precious land. Not one single solitary benefit will accrue to Ireland as a result of this trial. So why it is going ahead?" 
Robert Reich, Op-Ed: Mitt Romney is playing it even more cautiously. His economic plan is really a non-plan: more tax cuts for the rich, undefined spending cuts, and no details about how he'd bring down the budget deficit. No presidential candidate since Herbert Hoover in 1928 has been more vague about what he'd do on the critical issues facing the nation. Romney's advisors assume Obama can't possibly be reelected with the economy this bad. 
Pat Garofalo, News Analysis: "As discussed below, some companies provided no documents demonstrating links to student achievement when determining executive compensation, other companies provided documents with vague references to student achievement, and other companies provided documents that included specific compensation percentages linked to student performance measures." 
Ashfaq Yusufzai, News Report: There is now a need for more women teachers, he said. "We need more female teachers and doctors to cope with the problem of education health needs. The Taliban had barred female doctors and nurses from venturing out in public when they held sway over Swat till 2009." Senior educationist Mubarak Shah at the University of Peshawar said the Taliban ban on female education had actually worked to the advantage of women.
