During Crisis, More Greeks Turn to Bikes

ATHENS - Greece may no longer be in the headlines everyday, but the Mediterranean country is still struggling hard ? with an end to ?recession? nowhere in sight. Is this actually helping the bike sales? In a way yes, because people are now seeking the most sensible way to commute. Eurostat figures show bicycle imports grew almost 5% last year, from 190,000 units in 2011 to 199,000 units in 2012. However, the total value of the trade went down from ?16.8 million to ?15.6 million, bringing an average retail price in the area of ? 200. Consumption stayed in the area of 300,000 units, with national manufacturer Nikos Maniatopoulos still holding the strongest position in the market. The factory in Patras is home to assembly for all kinds of bikes, and also serves as a hub for distribution of Shimano, Scott, and other brands in the Balkan area.

Murder Of Golden Dawn Members Rattles Greece

ATHENS - Crisis-plagued Greece was thrown into further turmoil after two members of the far-right Golden Dawn party were shot dead in what police called a 'terrorist attack' outside one of the organization's offices in Athens. Two men, described as a 20 and 23-year-old, died instantly in the drive-by shooting, according to a statement released by the extremist group. 'Two helmeted terrorists on a motorbike stopped in front of Golden Dawn's offices in [the northern Athens suburb of] Neo Iraklio while the office was open and a lot of people were [gathered around] its entrance,' said the party. 'The co-rider got off [the bike] and in cold blood executed two young men at a distance of about half a meter. Before leaving the terrorists fired again ? they literally emptied their weapons [of bullets] on top of them.'

The Hidden Side of Pavlos Fyssas' Killing

ATHENS - In the early hours of September 18, Greek rapper Pavlos Fyssas was murdered by a Golden Dawn activist. It was one killing too many, which heralded the fall of the neo-Nazi party, whose implicit collusion with the state and ties with powerful figures are now coming to light. Excerpts. The photos on the living-room sideboard form a small shrine in memory of a lost son: Pavlos at his sister?s wedding, Pavlos in concert, Pavlos as a teenager... He was a fine looking boy with immense dark eyes, and a nice smile. ?Above all he had a big heart. Everyone took to him immediately,? murmurs his mother Magda, who appears hypnotized by these images of happy times. Behind her, Pavlos? father, Panagiotis, remains immured in grief and does not respond. Two knife wounds to the heart transformed their son into a symbol for the descent into criminality of far right party Golden Dawn, a movement which entered the Greek Parliament for the first time in 2012.

FOTOGRAFIA: Red Star Sees Green

Teammates Jonas Maciulis, (L) and James Gist of Panathinaikos Athens make sure their team gets the ball during this tussle with a Red Star player from Belgrade, Serbia on Nov 1. Greece's Greens came from 15 points down to beat Red Star Belgrade in Serbia 90-86 in overtime to pick up its second win in three games in the Euroleague. Nikos Pappas, a former youth star who was recently signed by the club, scored a team-high 24 points in a sterling performance. That offset bad nights by the usual stars, Dimitris Diamantidis, Antonis Fotsis and Roko Ukic. The Greek side had to put up with 10,000 roaring Serbian fans cheering on their team, which took a 48-33 halftime lead. Panathinaikos opened the third period with 12 straight points to quickly close the gap but the Reds went up by 14 early in the fourth quarter before the strong comeback by the Greeks team, propelled by Pappas and Maciulis, who scored 16 points, who triggered a 23-5 run to force overtime.

How A US-UK War Game Brought The World To The Brink Of Nuclear Disaster In 1983

Chilling new evidence that Britain and America came close to provoking the Soviet Union into launching a nuclear attack has emerged in former classified documents written at the height of the cold war.

Cabinet memos and briefing papers released under the Freedom of Information Act reveal that a major war games exercise, Operation Able Art, conducted in November 1983 by the US and its Nato allies was so realistic it made the Russians believe that a nuclear strike on its territory was a real possibility.

When intelligence filtered back to the Tory government on the Russians' reaction to the exercise, the prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, ordered her officials to lobby the Americans to make sure that such a mistake could never happen again.

Anti-nuclear proliferation campaigners have credited the move with changing how the UK and the US thought about their relationship with the Soviet Union and beginning a thaw in relations between east and west.

The papers were obtained by Peter Burt, director of the Nuclear Information Service (NIS), an organisation that campaigns against nuclear proliferation, who said that the documents showed just how risky the cold war became for both sides.

"These papers document a pivotal moment in modern history – the point at which an alarmed Thatcher government realised that the cold war had to be brought to an end and began the process of persuading its American allies likewise," he said.

"The Cold War is sometimes described as a stable 'balance of power' between east and west, but the Able Archer story shows that it was in fact a shockingly dangerous period when the world came to the brink of a nuclear catastrophe on more than one occasion."

Able Archer, which involved 40,000 US and Nato troops moving across western Europe, co-ordinated by encrypted communications systems, imagined a scenario in which Blue Forces (Nato) defended its allies after Orange Forces (Warsaw Pact countries) sent troops into Yugoslavia following political unrest.

The Orange Forces had quickly followed this up with invasions of Finland, Norway and eventually Greece. As the conflict had intensified, a conventional war had escalated into one involving chemical and nuclear weapons.

Numerous UK air bases, including Greenham Common, Brize Norton and Mildenhall, were used in the exercise, much of which is still shrouded in secrecy. However, last month Paul Dibb, a former director of the Australian Joint Intelligence Organisation, suggested that the 1983 exercise posed a more substantial threat than the Cuban missile crisis of 1962.

"Able Archer could have triggered the ultimate unintended catastrophe, and with prompt nuclear strike capacities on both the US and Soviet sides, orders of magnitude greater than in 1962," he said.

The exercise took place amid heightened international tension. In September 1983 the Russians shot down a Korean Airlines Boeing 737, killing all 269 people on board, after the plane had mistakenly strayed into their airspace. There is evidence to suggest that the Russians thought the Boeing was an American spy plane.

Earlier in the same year the US president, Ronald Reagan, made a high-profile speech describing the Soviet Union as "the evil empire" and announced plans to build the "Star Wars" strategic defence initiative. With distrust between the US and USSR at unparalleled levels, both sides were operating on a hair trigger.

As Able Archer commenced, the Kremlin gave instructions for a dozen aircraft in East Germany and Poland to be fitted with nuclear weapons. In addition, around 70 SS-20 missiles were placed on heightened alert, while Soviet submarines carrying nuclear ballistic missiles were sent under the Arctic ice so that they could avoid detection.

Nato and its allies initially thought the Soviet response was the USSR's own form of war-gaming. However, the classified documents obtained by the NIS reveal just how close the Russians came to treating the exercise as the prelude for a nuclear strike against them.

A classified British Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) report written shortly afterwards recorded the observation from one official that "we cannot discount the possibility that at least some Soviet officials/officers may have misinterpreted Able Archer 83 and possibly other nuclear CPXs [command post exercises] as posing a real threat."

The cabinet secretary at the time, Sir Robert Armstrong, briefed Thatcher that the Soviets' response did not appear to be an exercise because it "took place over a major Soviet holiday, it had the form of actual military activity and alerts, not just war-gaming, and it was limited geographically to the area, central Europe, covered by the Nato exercise which the Soviet Union was monitoring".

Armstrong told Thatcher that Moscow's response "shows the concern of the Soviet Union over a possible Nato surprise attack mounted under cover of exercises". Much of the intelligence for the briefings to Thatcher, suggesting some in the Kremlin believed that the Able Archer exercise posed a "real threat", came from the Soviet defector Oleg Gordievsky.

Formerly classified files reveal Thatcher was so alarmed by the briefings that she ordered her officials to "consider what could be done to remove the danger that, by miscalculating western intentions, the Soviet Union would over-react". She ordered her officials to "urgently consider how to approach the Americans on the question of possible Soviet misapprehensions about a surprise Nato attack".

Formerly secret documents reveal that, in response, the Foreign Office and Ministry of Defence drafted a joint paper for discussion with the US that proposed "Nato should inform the Soviet Union on a routine basis of proposed Nato exercise activity involving nuclear play".

Information from the JIC report and Gordievsky was shared with Reagan, who met the spy and was apparently so swayed by the arguments that he pushed for a new spirit of detente between the US and USSR.

However, Burt stressed that the end of the cold war did not mean that the risks had gone away. "Even though the cold war ended more than 20 years ago, thousands of warheads are still actively deployed by the nuclear-armed states," Burt said. "We continue to face unacceptably high risks and will continue to do so until we have taken steps to abolish these exceptionally dangerous weapons."

October Was An Impressive Month For The World Economy

HEADS UP: The world's major economies are publishing their October manufacturing PMI reports, and this is our scorecard.

So far, that numbers have been unexpectedly encouraging.

Uncertainty was high during the month as he U.S. — the world's largest economy — spent most of the month with its government shut down as Congress struggled to cobble together a budget deal.

Congress eventually cobbled together a deal, but the fiscal uncertainties linger.

"[T]he most likely outcome in both the US and euro area is that policymakers will do enough to avert a crisis, even if this involves further 'kicking the can down the road,'" said Citi's Willem Buiter.

However, the Chicago PMI report blew away expectations, surging to a two-year high of 65.9 in October from 55.7 in September. “The government might have shut down but Chicago area companies powered ahead in October as orders and production surged," said Philip Uglow of MNI Indicators.

Meanwhile in Asia, the sustainability of China's growth rates remain in doubt and liquidity concerns continue to linger in the emerging markets.

However, the official and unofficial Chinese manufacturing PMI's climbed, signaling an acceleration in growth.

Indeed, as you can see below, almost all of the Asian PMI reports showed significant improvement.

The PMI reports will continue to come out through November 4.

PMI

At the beginning of each month, Markit, HSBC, RBC, JP Morgan, and several other major data gathering institutions publish the latest local readings of the manufacturing purchasing managers index (PMI) for countries around the world. Read more about it at Markit.
