Extractions: The Oil Crunch postCount('050704'); SYNOPSIS: Why, despite the Iraq War, we have a huge problem with world oil supply to which we have no choice but to adapt. Paul Krugman wrote a related 5.14.04 NYT column about oil supply. Before the start of the Iraq war his media empire did so much to promote, Rupert Murdoch explained the payoff: "The greatest thing to come out of this for the world economy, if you could put it that way, would be $20 a barrel for oil." Crude oil prices in New York rose to almost $40 a barrel yesterday, a 13-year high. Those who expected big economic benefits from the war were, of course, utterly wrong about how things would go in Iraq. But the disastrous occupation is only part of the reason that oil is getting more expensive; the other, which will last even if we somehow find a way out of the quagmire, is the intensifying competition for a limited world oil supply. Thanks to the mess in Iraq including a continuing campaign of sabotage against oil pipelines oil exports have yet to recover to their prewar level, let alone supply the millions of extra barrels each day the optimists imagined. And the fallout from the war has spooked the markets, which now fear terrorist attacks on oil installations in Saudi Arabia, and are starting to worry about radicalization throughout the Middle East. (It has been interesting to watch people who lauded George Bush's leadership in the war on terror come to the belated realization that Mr. Bush has given Osama bin Laden exactly what he wanted.)

Extractions: I stayed at the Gershwin Hotel in New York city last week. Given that some folks find hotel reviews on the web, I thought I would suggest to, and warn of, this one. It is inexpensive (particularly when found through a web hotel service), fairly convenient (easy walk to two different subway lines), and in a not-too-busy part of town (27th Street and 5th Ave.). It is quite funky in a good way: there's real modern art on the walls in the lobby and the guest floors, and it feels like a refurbished old-style NY apartment building. On the other hand, it is really loud at night: there is a dance club on the first floor, the walls and doors are not that great at cutting down sound travel, and there is no carpeting anywhere in the building. I was able to sleep with earplugs, but the occasional slamming door woke me up because of the lack of sound absorption. Overall, I'd say stay there if you want less expensive and quite interesting. However, a few blocks away is the Thirty Thirty , which a friend stayed at for less money. He gave it high marks. I'll stay there next time, if for no other reason than the quiet.

Extractions: Arlene's crafts other blogs Movable Type 2.64 How could I resist any book that had the seal of the CIA with a pair of hot-red lips superimposed? Claire Berlinski's Loose Lips is the story of Selena Keller, a Sanskrit scholar who failing to find a real job ends up as a CIA case officer. Berlinski makes Selena likable and engaging enough, and the dialogue is pleasing, but the book just sort of meanders along until the end. Speaking of which: the end is terribly ambiguous, and leaves no sense of completion. I don't know if Berlinski did it on purpose or not, but I was unsatisfied by the loose ends she left flapping in the breeze. Not a bad library read; just don't expect Vince Flynn or Barry Eisler.

Search Welcome Welcome to the Institute for Social, Cultural and Policy Research at the University of Salford, UK. Like other interdisciplinary research institutes in the University, ISCPR brings together academic staff, contract research staff and postgraduate researchers. The Institute was formed in 2003 following previous success in the national evaluations of research quality - the RAE - so that it could facilitate further cross-disciplinary developments. ISCPR comprises four Centres - the Sociology Research Centre, the Policy Studies Research Centre, Literary and Cultural Studies Centre, and the Institute for Public Health, Research and Policy. The latter has a specialised role and separate funding arrangements, and has its own website (see IPHRP). ISCPR academic staff were in units which achieved '4' and '5' ratings in the 2001 RAE.
