In Pakistan, Money for Nothing
By Mosharraf Zaidi
In the face of the Taliban onslaught, Pakistan's key foreign-policy instrument has become the repetition ad nauseam of the "Pakistan needs the world's support" mantra. When the Pakistan's Peoples Party government officials play this song, they aren't asking for prayers, a warm embrace or a knowing nod of support. They are asking for money. There is of course nothing novel about politicians asking for cash.
At a meeting in Tokyo on April 17, the world—in the shape of the Friends of Pakistan forum—responded to Pakistan's calls for support with pledges of over $5.28 billion. Foreign governments that have stepped up to the plate are wondering though, just what the impact of their benevolence will be. How effective...

Money Can't Buy America Love
by Andrew Wilder and Stuart Gordon
While the debate over a troop surge in Afghanistan rages on, there has been virtual silence on the effectiveness of another central component of the U.S.-led strategy in Afghanistan: the surge of money intended to win Afghan hearts and minds. The figures are astounding: Next year, Commander's Emergency Response Program (CERP) funds, the monies available to the military to support projects intended to "win hearts and minds," are projected to nearly double to $1.2 billion. This far exceeds the U.S. Agency for International Development's (USAID's) global education budget of approximately $800 million. Even more startling, our research finds that such aid might be hurting -- or at best, not helping -- U.S. counterinsurgency efforts in Afghanistan.
Signs of just how important a weapon aid money is for the military are cropping up left and right, most prominently in the last tenet of the counterinsurgency mantra -- "shape, clear, hold, and build." An April 2009 U.S. Army handbook, Commander's Guide to Money as a Weapons System, provides operational guidance to military officers in war zones like Afghanistan to use money "to win the hearts and minds of the indigenous population to facilitate defeating the insurgents." The idea is to...

Response by:
Nigel Pont, Carr Center Fellow:
hese two articles, the first by Andrew Wilder and the second by Mosharraf Zaidi, raise similar issues that need greater consideration in policy making for Afghanistan and Pakistan. Wilder and Zaidi maintain that poverty alone does not drive terrorism and extremism. While critics would argue that poverty does contribute to these ills, and that in the long run, extremism will diminish as a rising economic tide raises all boats, the authors make a strong case for not relying on development to improve security and stability. In the absence of evidence that development contributes to short term security improvements, Wilder goes on to emphasize the need for development to be done for development's sake. These articles challenge some of the fundamentals underlying current US strategy and the ever closer alignment of USAID with security objectives. Given how the 'aid creates stability' paradigm underpins much of the US strategy in the region, shouldn't there be more evidence of the connection between the two? I would like to see policy makers asking USAID and the military for the evidence.
The real solution to the serious problems in both countries is political and needs strong political will (domestic and international) and political solutions. The populations of both countries have the right to improved development assistance, but the argument that it will substantially contribute towards resolving the current crises is drawn from a weak evidence base. Moreover, development assistance (and other foreign money flowing into both countries) may be contributing to instability, creating incentives for perpetuation of the status-quo and drawing attention away from the real solutions to these problems.

Notice Subject FEDERAL-AID HIGHWAY PROGRAM OBLIGATIONS - FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2007 - REDISTRIBUTION OF FY 2007 OBLIGATION AUTHORITY |

It looks like this Thursday will be some crazy day for new tech. First you got the seemingly more and more likely Apple MacBook Pro update (Apple's own site has changed the shipping dates for MacBook Pros orders from the usual 24 hours to a now 3-5 day wait– yes that would coincide perfectly with a new Thursday MacBook Pro update), the Motorola Xoom tablet comes out for Verizon (albeit, at a ridiculously high $800 price. Oh, and you need to pay for at least one month of Verizon service– which starts at $20 for 1 GB of data– for WiFi to be "unlocked" on the tablet. Weird and really annoying we know), and from this above tweet Sprint plans to have something big of their own planned for Thursday.
Now what exactly this new phone is no one knows yet. It seems a little early for the recently unveiled Kyocera Echo to be this mystery phone, as Sprint said it wouldn't come until "Spring" (and judging by the weather here in New York today winter seems to still be going strong– though we would love an early spring). Whatever this is, the wait should only be a few more days and you can make sure we'll have it covered for you here.
UPDATE: And it looks like this little second Sprint tweet will give us an answer– this mystery phone is Sprint's first Windows Phone 7 phone, the HTC 7 Pro. Think about it, the main focus of Windows Phone 7 is hubs– specifically ones for gaming, music, videos, people etc– exactly what was mentioned in the new tweet.
The 7 Pro was said to be coming to Sprint ever since Microsoft announced Windows Phone 7 last year and is a pretty impressive phone– 3.6 inch high-res screen with full slide out, tilting QWERTY keyboard (see the pic after the break for what we mean), 5 megapixel camera with HD video recording, 1 GHZ processor, and 8 GB of built-in storage. All in all if this is indeed what Sprint has in store, Thursday should be a solid day for Sprint users. You can see a shot of the second tweet and one of the HTC 7 Pro after the break.

As I walk through the graves and take pictures, I do so with all the respect of those you have loved and lost. I only pray a photo touches the heart of someone who has never been able to visit the final resting place of their family and friends. And I hope to some it will bring you closure.
If I have made a mistake, or you would like any additional information added please let me know. I am always happy to add links etc.
If you would like a memorial transfered, please use the findagrave guidelines and use the correction section with your member number.
Photo's: Please consider any photo's that I have taken a gift to you. I do ask that when using them on other web sites that you please give credit, where credit is due.
As with a number of Find A Grave contributor's I do not know most of the people I create a memorial page for. I find joy in the way most Find A Grave contributor's work together in creating the most complete memorial possible. And I will admit, I do take offense when I send a request to add links/information and it is ignored.
Why do I ask for corrections, additions, etc., be requested through the edit field? Because that is the only way I can ensure that I am adding or correcting the info to the correct person. Transfers must also be requested through the edit field.

NSPCC bosses are calling for an end to child witnesses giving evidence in the same room as their abusers and want video links set up instead
Grieving Natalie Sharp met the Prime Minister in July, just two months after her grandmother's boyfriend Stuart Hazell was jailed for Tia's murder
Stuart Hazell is serving 38 years for murdering 12-year-old Tia Sharp, but could now appeal his sentence after turning to religion while behind bars
The body of the tragic 12-year-old was found hidden in the loft of her grandmother's home
After carrying out a probe into Tia's "chaotic" home life, social workers concluded that no further assessment was needed
A serious case review into failings leading up to her death, due to be published on Wednesday, will reveal police warned authorities about family concerns
Perverts trawl the site copying pictures parents have taken of their kids and those youngsters have shared with friends
The devastated parents said their children's killers were spurred on by sick images found online
His partner Melissa Potter told him she was pregnant a week before the start of killer Stuart Hazell's trial in May
The monster, who is being targeted by fellow prison inmates, wants his lawyers fight for a shorter term
The Prime Minister said firms such as Google, Microsoft and Yahoo need to "do much more" to take down illegal images including child rape
But actor John Altman - who played "Nasty" Nick Cotton - cannot even recall meeting the vile pervert
Tia's dad hadn't seen her for TWO years yet when she went missing he was forever talking about how HE was suffering
The 12-year-old told gran Angie Niles she was "bored" staying with evil Hazell and her other grandmother Christine Bicknell.
Hazell is on 24-hour suicide watch and has to be guarded when he exercises as prison officers fear he will be attacked
Writing to a pen pal, he moans about not being able to get counselling and says he cries himself to sleep.
Christine Bicknell wept as she told how she blames herself for putting the youngster at the mercy of the sex beast
Natalie Sharp wants answers to her questions over her 12-year-old daughter's death after Hazell was jailed for life yesterday
Detectives who questioned Stuart Hazell said his obsession with porn "shaped his behaviour". It certainly shaped poor Tia's death
There were yells of delight from some family and friends as the length of Hazell's life sentence was announced in Court 2
Like many misguided women before her, she thought her love and support would be enough to heal her damaged partner
Former boyfriend of Tia's grandmother Christine Sharp dramatically changed his plea on the fifth day of his trial and admitted killing Tia
Christine Bicknell wept as she told how she blames herself for putting the youngster at the mercy of the sex beast who was her "soulmate"
The image has tormented Christine Bicknell ever since police showed it to her after arresting her over Tia's disappearance
To understand the pain the Sharp family are suffering you'd have to have some sense of compassion. Hazell clearly has none
Natalie added in the victim impact statement that she wanted to visit Hazell in prison to question him about the murder
Dad Steven sat through four days of harrowing evidence explaining in horrific detail how Hazell had violated and murdered innocent Tia
Former boyfriend of Tia's grandmother Christine Sharp says "Tia's family have suffered enough" as he changes plea on fifth day of trial
Former boyfriend of Tia's grandmother Christine Sharp says "Tia's family have suffered enough" as he pleads guilty on fifth day of trial
The jury in his trial was shown a letter he wrote to his dad after he was captured by police on the day Tia's body was discovered

You're My Favorite Song lyrics by Demi Lovato.
[Joe Jonas]
Words don't come easy without a melody
I'm always thinking In terms of do-re-mi
I should be hiking, swimming laughing with you
Instead I'm all out of tune
But what you don't know
You lift me off the ground
You're inspiration, you helped me find myself
Just like a baseline a half-time
You hold down the groove
That's why I'm counting on you
And if I heard you on the radio
I'd never wanna change a single note
It's what I tried to say all along
You're my favorite song
I'm in a session writing tracks
You've got another class to teach
And then rehearsal with a band
You're always one step out of reach
I'm looking for some harmony
With you it comes so naturally
You helped me find the right key
[Joe Jonas & Demi Lovato]
And when I here you on the radio
I'd never wanna change a single note
It's what I tried to say all along
You're my favorite song
My Favorite Song!
And when I here you on the radio (yeah yea)
I'd never wanna change a single note (no no)
It's what I tried to say all along

A film about beats, love, friendship, and the system that destroys it all.
About this project
One of the promising talents in the future of motion picture - Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting, Elephant, Milk) on Romas Zabarauskas
We Will Riot portrays the very unique predicament of today's youth generation in an insightful and clever way - John Cameron Mitchell (Shortbus, Rabbit Hole)
We only get money if we'll reach $10.000 or more. If not, the money stays in your account. So support us, claim your perks, share the good news and help us reach our goal by May 4!
Luke is an up-and-coming DJ from an affluent New York family with a Lithuanian father and an African-American mother. When Luke hears from an estranged grandmother in Lithuania, he defies his parents and decides to visit this far-away country, flying straight to the capital city Vilnius. He falls in love with the city, a rebellious girl called Marta, and the local music scene - the beatmakers - promoted by an aggressive gay manager, Andy.
Luke's grandma's connections get him a deal with the municipality to become the manager of a new nightclub, and he takes up the challenge... but the deal turns out to be poisoned, forcing Luke to rebel in ways he never imagined.
WE WILL RIOT portrays the innovative Lithuanian beatmaking scene alongside the shady dealings of corrupt governments. Music production and spontaneous political protest explode together onscreen, fuelled by the internet and access to new technology in Eastern Europe.
Check the beatmakers out!
We support and/or directly participate in peaceful protests around the globe, such as Occupy Wall Street and Occupy Vilnius. While the opinions of the filmmakers of WE WILL RIOT are different and complex, our main goal is to support and inspire peaceful protests and activism. Let's say that "riot" in the title is a metaphor for challenging the society we're living in, searching for an "exit" out of the corrupt system we're too numb to notice.
Neither is KODAK, who gave us an impressive discount for their stock! We'll be shooting on our cinematographer's personal camera, a Super 16 Aaton Xterà. It's actually gonna be cheaper than a high tech digital shoot, trust us.

DIRECTOR Romas Zabarauskas
This openly gay 21-year-old Lithuanian film director captivated international audiences and caused a national scandal with his debut short film PORNO MELODRAMA, a Berlinale 2011 Panorama selection confronting Lithuania's homophobic legislation. Zabarauskas is currently studying film at Hunter College, New York City.
MUSIC SUPERVISOR Mark Splinter
Mark Splinter started his musical career in London running events and working on multimedia concepts for bands and producers. After moving to Lithuania in 2004, he quickly became one of the country's leading dance music promoters, most famous for introducing the English genre "dubstep". He has performed with and supported the local beatmakers, managed a nightclub, and is now focusing on his label Stableface, using his long A&R and entertainment management experience to develop innovations in film soundtrack production and music marketing.

Transitioning to film, Ebeneezer won a scholarship from the notoriously selective acting coach Susan Batson, whose clients include Nicole Kidman and Juliette Binoche. Recently, this rising star landed leading roles in Brooklyn-based feature films "Radius", "Life Among Valley People" and the short "Stalking Ghosts", all currently in post-production. He also just joined the cast of another Brooklyn-based project, the web series "Brooklyn is in Love" (2012).
Female lead – Vilma Kutavičiūtė – rebellious socialite MARTA
This upcoming 23-year-old Lithuanian actress will graduate from prestigious acting school The Russian Academy of Theatre Arts (GITIS) in Spring 2012. She starred in a short film "About Love" (2011) by Armenian director Anna Melikyan (director of Sundance, Berlinale awards winning "Mermaid", 2007), a yet-to-be-released documentary of American photographer Leigh Ledare, as well as Romas Zabarauskas' previous short film "Porno Melodrama".
Supporting male - Šarūnas Zenkevičius – openly gay manager of the beatmakers - ANDY
This 21-year old actor is about to graduate from the Lithuanian Music and Theater Academy. He plays the main role in the unconventional "Brothers Karamazov" project, performed at Lithuanian prisons and monasteries. After minor roles in foreign productions ("George Cross Heroes", "Unsere Mütter, Unsere Väter"), this handsome actor is ready for a serious debut.
Big Hollywood productions like "Defiance" (dir. Edward Zwick) with Daniel Craig or "Transiberian" (dir. Brad Anderson) with Woody Harrelson were shot in Lithuania because it's affordable. Now it's time to use what we learned from Hollywood, creating our own film community. Many of the Lithuanian crew members have honed their skills on big-scale American projects and will ensure high production values and quality.
Even more important is that everyone is highly involved in the creative process in our film. It would be difficult to imagine WE WILL RIOT without our music supervisor Mark Splinter and all of the beatmakers, as well as cinematographer Ville Piippo and editor Gintarė Sokelytė, to name only few. This is a project where everyone is respected and important—including you!
Because no major producer or company will fund an openly anti-corruption film with a title like "We Will Riot"... even with support of such acclaimed artists as Gus Van Sant, John Cameron Mitchell, Bruce LaBruce, Jonas Mekas and Marie Losier (check out the unique rewards they promised for you!). With industry money we'd be subject to industry ideas of what's sellabe, and that leads to creative compromise. With your money, we will be responsible to you for making a meaningful and beautiful film. Sounds way better!
That's how much we need to shoot the New York part of the film this summer. We're currently raising funds for the rest, and Kickstarter boost would help for that too.
Crowdfunding perfectly fits the concept of direct democracy: if you like our project, vote YES by supporting us and sharing with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, email blast and why not life conversations, too.

Poet Kim Addonizio talks about "poem feeling" vs. "prose feeling," asking her characters to talk to her, and salvation.
When did you first start to identify yourself as a writer?
I remember my first unfinished work. I wanted to write a novel when I was around nine. I wrote ten pages. It was a mystery, I think. I don't remember why I stopped -- probably because it was too hard. I remember writing a short story at fifteen and being eager to show it to my dad, who was a sportswriter.
Do you remember what drew you to writing poetry?
I wrote down my feelings in lines in high school and after, but it was hardly poetry. I seriously started trying to write it in my late twenties. I think poetry drew me to it -- I think I was always meant to find it.
How has your creative process changed since then?
When I was younger, poorer, and raising a kid, I had a lot less time for consistent creative work. So I was less connected to my own process. I feel I'm able to tap in a lot more often now.
Fear of failure is the biggest thing that blocks creativity. It makes you give up too soon on a project, or on a writing life.
Kim Addonizio is the author of three books of poetry from BOA Editions: The Philosopher's Club, Jimmy & Rita, and Tell Me, which was a finalist for the 2000 National Book Award. Her latest poetry collection, What Is This Thing Called Love, was published by W. W. Norton in January 2004. A book of stories, In the Box Called Pleasure, was published by Fiction Collective 2. She's also coauthor with Dorianne Laux of The Poet's Companion: A Guide to the Pleasures of Writing Poetry (W.W. Norton). Her new novel, My Dreams Out in the Street, has recently been published by Simon & Schuster.
Addonizio's awards include two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Pushcart Prize, a Commonwealth Club Poetry Medal, and the John Ciardi Lifetime Achievement Award. She teaches private workshops in Oakland, CA.

How does the way you approach poetry compare to the way you approach prose?
I don't really have an "approach" to different genres; it's more a feeling. I have a "poem feeling" and a "prose feeling." I like the "poem feeling" best, and when it's there I want to read and write poems. I think if I let it, it would overwhelm the prose -- ideally, I think I'd like to kick back and write poems exclusively. That's how I think of it. It's a great pleasure. But the prose (along with teaching) has enabled me to survive as a writer outside of the university. I think having to take a university job would kill the poetry in me forever.
In your creative process, do you have any techniques or habits that you've found help you tap your creative side?
Clearing the decks, in all ways. Shutting out the world, cleaning the room, not answering the phone. I used to write late at night. It's a good time because no one is expecting anything from you. I have writing days now; I load up on the errands and other responsibilities on different days, so I can get up in the morning on a writing day and feel it stretching out ahead of me. A feeling of spaciousness is crucial. Ideas come from reading, experiences, TV, looking at art, dreams, eavesdropping. Living in as many directions as possible.
What else inspires you?
Anything and everything. If "inspire" is the right word, a lot of poems lately have been inspired by the sorry state of the world and by ongoing romantic illusions and difficulties. Great writing always inspires me. Having a challenge inspires me -- could I do X in a poem? Could I write a novel entirely from one character's point of view, or write a historical novel? Could I write something for voice and blues harmonica that would work as a word/music piece? Trying to work out an idea, to take it from some place in my head and make it real in the world of forms.
Is there anything that helps you get to work and stay focused when you're feeling uninspired?
I either slog through, or I quit and come back later. Sometimes if you slog, you end up finding something interesting. Plus it makes you feel like you've gotten points somehow -- you stayed there when the work sucked or didn't go anywhere. And on the other hand, it's good to leave it alone sometimes and come back later. I know I'll come back. I know by now that the problem will shift. Right now I'm avoiding a novel that has some problems I don't feel I can solve, but I intend to go back and work on them; I have a lot more faith now than I used to, when I failed consistently. Fear of failure is the biggest thing that blocks creativity. It makes you give up too soon on a project, or on a writing life.
What have you worked the hardest to achieve in your writing?
Music, depth, skill, all of it. For a long time the language in my poems was pretty flat, and I struggled to make it less so. Trying to get beyond a certain self-conscious, mannered style, loosening up. In fiction, structure has been difficult, and so has texturing the language enough -- I always have to do what I call "the comb-over," go back through the sparse descriptions and add. Usually I have one sentence where I need four or five.
Is there a piece of work that stands out as the most challenging project you've tackled?
Jimmy & Rita, my verse novel, was very challenging because I started with one poem about these two people and got the idea to write a whole book of poems about their lives, and I had to figure out who they were and what happened to them. Some days I'd just type "Rita, talk to me" on the computer or "Jimmy, what are you doing now?" -- trying to channel them. And the other big challenge was writing a novel. So I guess long, sustained, narrative projects are the hardest for me.
What do you think has gotten you through those kinds of projects?
Sheer obsession and a dogged refusal to quit. Though I did quit writing fiction a number of times, because it was too hard. But I always ended up a year or two down the road going back to try again.
In your writing workshops, are there key lessons that you find yourself consistently emphasizing?
Oh, yeah. I'm always hammering on the same things. Sufficient clarity and context for a reader. Understanding your intent, on a holistic level, so you can reshape the poem accordingly -- that is, figuring out the core of the poem, making conscious to yourself the ideas and themes as far as possible. Keeping the writing fluid and trying out several strategies for revision, not just one.
What gets you excited about other people's writing?
Surprise, intensity, musicality. Syntax. And I'm a sucker for a sexy metaphor.
How would you describe your relationship with language?
Constant, ongoing, happy, fraught, erotic.
Has anything surprised you about your creative life?
That I've been able to have one. I mean, have one in a semi-public fashion, in addition to having one privately.
Is there any other advice you'd offer on the creative process?
What I've learned is simple: if you nurture it, it will expand, and it will nurture you in return. I have also learned that it is a kind of salvation. Sometimes it's more than enough and sometimes it's not enough -- by that I mean one's own creativity. If you can truly tap in to the creative process, you know it's there all the time, and then you probably don't need saving.

2008 Lincoln MKZ
Choose Lincoln MKZ Style:
C/D Overview:
This sedan is based on a stretched, widened, and tweaked Mazda 6 platform, a rigid structure attached to a fully independent suspension that makes this the best-handling Lincoln in a long time. It will give front-drive European sports sedans a run for their money.
Base Price: $31,720 - $33,590
For the money, it offers an impressive list of standard equipment that grows for 2008.
The styling is plebeian.
What's New
Introduced for 2006 as the Zephyr and renamed MKZ for 2007; for '08, gets heated and cooled front seats and other standard features, and an optional reverse-sensing system.
Behind The Wheel
Not the floaty Lincoln of old, the MKZ is taut, firmly sprung, and pleasant enough to drive.

Note: this teleconference was split into two teleconferences - one for small PHAs and one for larger PHAs. Given the similarity of issues and solutions between these groups, this summary combines information from both teleconferences.
Challenge #1: How do you provide case management with limited staff and funding?
Agencies find it difficult to case manage all WtW & FSS clients with limited funding and resources. They are looking for tips on how to stretch resources, find new resources, or simply manage resources more efficiently. Many noted that their FSS programs are already at-capacity, and that TANF case managers have too heavy of a caseload to provide any real support to WtW families. Moreover, only families currently on TANF receive TANF case management, which means that a lot of WtW families do not receive any support.
Tips for Success:
Challenge #2: How do you know what services your WtW families need?
In order to help WtW families succeed in obtaining self-sufficiency, agencies first need to identify the areas in which families need assistance. Each family has different needs and identifying those needs can be challenging.
Challenge #3: How do you motivate clients to participate in FSS?
PHAs sometimes struggle to involve clients in FSS. One PHA staff member mentioned that she had been pushing the FSS program since first contact with her families, but was having difficulty getting clients to enroll in the program. She emphasized to families that it was not a lifetime choice, and she also explained to families that they would not be at risk of losing their voucher for failing to fulfill the objectives in the FSS Plan.
Challenge #4: How do you ensure that WtW families meet the goals and requirements of your program?
Some WtW participants seem unwilling to fulfill contract obligations and uphold WtW employment goals. As a result, some agencies spend considerable time and resources trying to encourage these families to comply with program requirements. (For more information on this topic, view our summary for Roundtable 7: Family Obligations, Terminations, and Contracts of Participation.)
