What is a Clearance Worth?
From the Washington Post
What's a clearance worth?
According to Clearancejobs.com, which specializes in helping job seekers find work that requires U.S. government clearances and matches them with contractors, quite a lot, in some cases. Recruiters say it can boost a salary 10 percent to 25 percent, depending on the person's skills, type of job, experience and level of clearance.

Thought For The Day
"Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. You must be able to sustain yourself against staggering blows. There is no code of conduct to help beginners. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go much further than people with vastly superior talent."

Will Iraq Fall Victim to the Oil Curse?
Will Iraq Fall Victim to the Oil Curse?
by Judith Miller
The Wall Street Journal

BAGHDAD — Since America toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003, Iraq has had three free-wheeling, relatively fraud-free national elections. Its military has been reconstituted, its soldiers and some of its police retrained. The infrastructure has been partially rebuilt. Iraq, with its 30 million people and the world's third-largest oil reserves, could one day be fabulously rich.

Economy: Get Ready For A Sluggish Second Half
Nice article from a group of industry experts....
Get Ready For A Sluggish Second Half
Christian Menegatti, Rachel Ziemba, Prajakta Bhide and Nouriel Roubini ,
08.05.10, 06:00 AM EDT
The recovery will be rocky, the risk of policy gridlock is high and exit strategies will remain uncoordinated.
After predicting that 2010 would be a "Year of Two Halves,” we'd like to say we've been pleasantly surprised by recent data. Instead, a string of releases in the past two weeks has made it clear that the sluggish second half is here.
Since the end of 2009 we have been emphasizing that the recovery would be multispeed--or at least two-speed--with much of the advanced world displaying a below-trend, anemic growth pace and the emerging world showing a more V-shaped recovery. Now, the global macroeconomic deterioration that we still see emerging in the second half of 2010 increasingly is becoming the consensus view. In much of the advanced world this low growth will feel like a recession even if these economies technically avoid a double dip. Meanwhile, emerging markets are showing that even their more robust recoveries are not insulated from the slowdowns and structural adjustments in advanced economies. We have never been subscribers to the decoupling thesis and believe that emerging markets also will have to partially adjust to a "New Normal."
