The problems resulting from overcrowded prisons are compounded by limited access to health care facilities and legal counsel for prisoners as well as the erratic supply of water to prisons.

The Advisory Committee was informed that the high spare parts consumption was due to damages caused to communications equipment by erratic and unreliable electricity supply in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

However, it is often the constraints that they face in other areas that cause them not to be deemed creditworthy (e.g. they are dependent on erratic international market prices and on weather conditions).

It is the weak nerve center of a flabby semi state, with almost defenseless frontiers, where humanitarian rhetoric masks spinelessness. But America s sporadic, erratic, and largely ineffective deployment of power is hardly of Martian quality.

While the quality and quantity of humanitarian assistance has improved across Darfur, incidents targeting humanitarian supplies and personnel on major roads have rendered the movement of supplies erratic and inconsistent, affecting crucial assistance to beneficiaries.

Over the past two years, it has become increasingly evident that the modern or soft left is, all in all, governing well. The other left has proved to be more extreme and erratic than many anticipated.

This instability also makes it difficult to address other grave problems affecting the global financial system. Sovereign debt, needed by all countries, but particularly by the poorest, suffers profoundly from erratic interest rate and exchange rate movements.

Flows to both North Africa and sub Saharan Africa have been erratic but, in the past two years, North African countries seem to have experienced net capital outflows, while net flows to sub Saharan African countries have remained positive.

If an unyielding South becomes engaged in another military game of chicken with the often audacious and always erratic North, the results could be catastrophic. In this sense, an institutional framework for permanent inter Korean peace is more urgent than ever.

Unfortunately, Iraq appears set to continue to be a major source of high oil prices, owing to highly erratic output. For the foreseeable future, one of the principal outcomes of the invasion of Iraq will be greater volatility and thus higher prices.

In the Horn of Africa, West Africa and Southern Africa, natural hazards including drought, erratic rains, locust infestation and floods coupled with chronic problems such as poverty, conflict, poor governance and HIV AIDS, affected millions of people, including farmers, pastoral and agropastoral groups.

The West s response has been far more supportive of Arabs aspirations, but it has also been contradictory and erratic. For years, both the US and Europe engaged in a monumental exercise in political hypocrisy, preaching the gospel of democratic change while supporting Arab tyrants.

Spooked by Russia s incursions into Ukraine, North Korea s erratic intransigence, and China s new foreign policy assertiveness, US allies and partners in East Asia and Europe have rushed back to unthinking embrace of Cold War assumptions about the deterrent utility of nuclear weapons and their central importance in security policy.

But there is no such luck for millions of Africans who face disruption to the rainfall on which their crops, livestock, and families depend. For them, climate change can be expected to bring more erratic and uncertain storms, with no guarantee of water in the well, bucket, and field.

In some of these countries, conservative governments viewed industrial promotion as some dirigiste relic from the past, and avoided it. In others Brazil comes to mind left leaning governments practiced industrial promotion in such a heavy handed and erratic way that they ended up weakening whatever it was they wanted to promote.

We extended this idea. We tested it many times over, and the next version we came up with was a box that kind of could trickle charge on solar energy, but most importantly connect to a car battery, because a car battery is a ubiquitous source of power in places where there's not enough electricity or erratic electricity.

Putin's erratic and economically oblivious policies are frittering away the last remnants of what was once Gazprom's monopoly position in the European gas market. Clearly, if Europe is to spend billions on pipelines, it would be better off doing so as part of an effort to diversify its sources of natural gas, rather than deepen its dependence on Russia.

When the Olympic Games return to Greece this summer, the results at the drug testing laboratory may get as much attention as what happens at the Olympic stadium. The history of drugs, and drug control, at the Olympics is discouraging a farrago of ill informed rules, outright state sponsored cheating, and half hearted and erratic attempts at enforcement.

Faced with the erratic nature of agricultural markets, regulation is needed to soften the impact on poorer countries of volatile food prices.

Chinese experts are now debating a key governance question which top level architecture would enable the country to adopt the reforms needed to meet global and domestic pressures? Investors are concerned about Chinese equities erratic performance, regulatory risks, and policy surprises, as well as the uncertainties stemming from greater volatility in asset prices, including property prices, interest rates, and the exchange rate.

Such a system would be the political equivalent of letting the inmates guard the prison. In fact, the Competitiveness Pact s failure even to mention the Europe 2020 strategy, which EU leaders enacted less than a year ago as a blueprint for economic development, reinforces the impression of uncoordinated, ad hoc, and downright erratic policymaking that is heavy on theatrics and light on implementation.

It hardly helped that the negotiations between Greece and its creditors produced a growing mistrust in the competence and intentions of Syriza. Devious and erratic negotiating tactics, coupled with secret schemes to prepare as part of a Plan B for an exit from the euro, undermined the government s trustworthiness, leading even Paul Krugman to admit I may have overestimated the competence of the Greek government.

The coup d état that brought down President Manuel Zelaya in Honduras, for example, made that country the first case of successful neo putschism in Central America in the twenty first century. Its repercussions could be enormous, because the contradictory and erratic response of the United States to the coup could be interpreted as tacit encouragement for other would be coup leaders elsewhere in the region, at least in Central America.
