The audacity of Speaker of the House John Boehner colluding with the prime minister of a foreign country to undermine a sitting president is, I think, still not entirely appreciated.

Republican House Majority leader John Boehner secretly invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Washington to address Congress and then once it was set up he let Barack Obama know about it.
President Barack Obama's State of the Union address slighted foreign policy in favor of touting domestic progress and proposing new domestic initiatives. But there were some foreign policy highlights worth underlining.

The recent excitement in Paris produced an occasion of great surprise to an American observer, certainly to one who witnessed the transformational fear exacted from America's governing elite by the 9/11 attacks in 2001.
President Hasan Rowhani, a reformer, is worried about being stymied in his economic and diplomatic initiatives by regime hard-liners.
In 2014, Iran made news on a number of important fronts.
It is clear that among the major losers in the fall in the price of Brent crude petroleum are Russia, Iraq and Iran. But the big loser will likely be shale oil producers and prospectors in the U.S.
What did Saudi Arabia have to say at the recently concluded G-20 conference?
Author Gina Nahai's latest novel, "The Luminous Heart of Jonah S.," is a family epic that leaps from Tehran to Los Angeles and back again, blending murder mystery, history, myth and magic in a lively and lyrical read.
There is almost no way to overemphasize how thoroughly the U.S. military now covers the Greater Middle East. After 35 years of base-building there, it's long past time to look carefully at how this garrisoning affects the region, the U.S., and the world.
What follows is a transcript of a therapy session between the American Empire and a psychiatrist whose name we at TomDispatch have agreed not to disclose. Normally we wouldn't consider publishing such a private encounter, but the probative news value of the exchange is so obvious that we decided to make an exception.
The Republican Party is already conniving at ways to derail the U.S.-Iran negotiations over Tehran's civilian nuclear enrichment program.
White House/Pete Souza
Although the U.S. and Iran have no official diplomatic ties, the most powerful men in each country have apparently decided to cut out the middle men and women.
A poll determined 84 percent of American Jews would favor—either strongly or somewhat—a deal with Iran that would relax tough sanctions on the Iranian economy in exchange for the country's agreement to limit its nuclear program to civilian purposes and accept inspectors at its nuclear facilities.
Al-Zaman reports that Iranian President Hasan Rowhani has proposed to visiting Iraqi Prime Minister Haydar al-Abadi an anti-IS axis including Syria, Lebanon and Iraq that would be led by Iran, as an alternative to the U.S.-led coalition proposed by President Barack Obama.
If oil goes lower and stays there for a while, what are the implications?
The Obama administration is wielding the oil weapon against two of the world's leading producers, Iran and Russia. These efforts, which include embargoes and trade sanctions, are likely to have a great impact on world output, reflecting White House confidence that, in the pursuit of U.S. strategic interests, anything goes.
Islamic State fighters have advanced into the Kurdish Syrian city of Kobani with fighting in the streets as Kurds resist, according to the pan-Arab daily al-Hayat.

If the latest polls are accurate, most voters believe that Republican politicians deserve greater trust on matters of national security.
Secretary of State John Kerry said Friday that Iran has a role to play in defeating Islamic State.
State Department
A hollow laugh might be permitted at the alliance now announced as the result of Secretary of State John Kerry's latest journey through the Middle East.
Secretary of State John Kerry's meeting in Jedda with 10 Middle Eastern foreign ministers produced a communique Friday, but little more.
President Obama has committed the United States to another open-ended Middle East war in which the potential for doing harm rivals the possibility of doing good.
Steve Sack, Cagle Cartoons, The Minneapolis Star Tribune —
Al-Qaida has a thing or two to learn from ISIS about social media. Meanwhile, the efforts to squash ISIS have created some strange bedfellows. Luckily, Jon Stewart has returned from promoting his film "Rosewater" at festivals and has gotten back on "network anchor war footing" to tell us all about the new plagiarist terrorists in town.
U.S. airstrikes on ISIS in Iraq have alternated with Iranian airstrikes on ISIS positions. It seems likely to me that the two air forces are coordinating in at least a minimal way, otherwise there would be a danger of them hitting each other rather than ISIS.

Within the same news conference, President Obama declared economic sanctions against Russia a huge success and said Russia had invaded Ukraine.
What does Ferguson, Mo., look like from afar right now? For some overseas critics of American foreign policy, it looks like a teachable moment to point out how the U.S. would do better to confront its own issues at home instead of policing the rest of the world.

Middle Eastern regional powers joined the U.S. in welcoming the appointment of Haider al-Abadi as Iraq's next prime minister, creating a dorm full of strange bedfellows.

As President Obama struggles to deal with the crisis in Iraq, it's useful to remember who gave the world this cauldron of woe in the first place: George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.
Back when the warmongers had hopes of ginning up a war between the United States and Iran during the Bush administration, one of their propaganda talking points was the Iran had "threatened to wipe Israel off the map."
According to a Pentagon intelligence official, if eliminated, Hamas would be replaced by a far more dangerous alternative; a group of scientists warns we may be witnessing the beginning of the Earth's sixth mass extinction, the likes of which wiped out dinosaurs; meanwhile, an activist contends the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement has had significant repercussions on the Israeli economy, especially since the recent attack on Gaza began. These discoveries and more after the jump.
The United Nations Security Council is theoretically a sort of sovereign in international law. One major exception to UNSC authority is Israel.
As the "Last Week Tonight" host points out, it's not Iran or North Korea we have to worry about; it's America.

The Sansa Clip also comes with a built-in mic for making voice recordings (WAV output only) and an FM tuner, from which you can record, as well. The radio offers up to 40 presets; the autoscan function is somewhat buried in the "view all presets" menu, but it's a handy feature and worth using. As with any decent MP3 player, you get shuffle and repeat playback modes and an equalizer--we like that there's an adjustable five-band setting. More plusses: You can add songs to an on-the-go playlist, rate and delete songs on the device, and mark subscription tracks for purchase at next sync. Finally, there's the autoresume function, which picks up where you left off in a track, even if you paused before shutdown. This is particularly handy for those who listen to long, spoken-word tracks, such as podcasts and audiobooks.
Sounds like a performer
Although most SanDisk devices sound passable, we've never been blown away by the sound quality of Sansa players. The Clip is actually a bit of an exception: This player sounds great. It's not quite as stellar as the Sony NWZ-A810, but it can certainly compete with the Zen Stone Plus. In our tests (using the Shure SE530s), music sounded rich and clear, with a present bass brought out more by tinkering with the custom EQ. Fiona Apple's soft pop track "The First Taste" was encompassing, with buttery mids, sparkly highs, and subtle bass. Mellow electronic music (e.g. Hot Chip's "The Warning") was similarly pleasing, but even the Deftones' "Bored"--a heavy and riffy rock track--offered impressive clarity. All in all, we could find very little to complain about in the audio quality department--unless, of course, you decide to use the included headphones, which are not so hot.
In other performance areas, the Clip was passable. Voice recordings were a little muffled sounding, and FM reception was about average. A couple of our regular stations wouldn't come through completely. The battery life of 14.1 hours is nothing to write home about, but it's plenty decent for a player of this size.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Karmaflage is a dingbat containing three different types of ornament to be used for making decorative camouflage patterns.
On the underlying idea, Kenn says: 'I'm fascinated by camouflage as decoration, It has some interesting aesthetic qualities. I'm taking these aesthetics further by basing Karmaflage on ornaments. That way the camouflage becomes the complete opposite of what camouflage is all about.'
The dingbat system is free and can be downloaded for Mac and PC at http://www.kennmunk.com
The Karmaflage pattern was originally made for a couple of toy designs, the launch is timed with the release of the first of these, the 'Trexi' by Playimaginative of Singapore. Later the dingbat was expanded to contain other ornamental details.
Elements from Karmaflage can also be seen on Kenn's own line of toys; 'Antlor - The Deer Departed' paper kits. (http://www.antlor.net)

We compare 16 wireless Bluetooth speakers, priced from $199 to $399, including models from Sony, Bose and Logitech.
These days most people are listening to music on their smartphones rather than iPods or MP3 players, and most prefer to keep their phones in easy reach rather than leaving them in a speaker dock. Enter wireless speakers.
A wireless speaker can be placed anywhere in your home within reach of a power point – or if it has a rechargeable battery, you can enjoy your music anywhere. Connections between the devices are made using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
There's no escaping the fact that a good, larger speaker will find it easier to deliver higher volumes, but many of the smaller models tested produced surprisingly good audio when played at all but the highest volumes.

We've added some of our 32 criteria to the table below.
To change the table, check the box next to the criteria you want and click 'Apply changes'
The overall score is made up of listening performance (45%), ease of use (20%), range (wireless) performance (20%), battery performance (10%) and Bluetooth connectivity (5%).
This column shows which products have been discontinued and which are still available in shops. 'Active' indicates they can still be found in shops and 'inactive' that they are discontinued models.
In some instances, at the request of members and when products are still available on the second-hand market and via sites like eBay, we include discontinued models in the tables.
We place each speaker in an identical position to assess the point at which musical signal is lost or the audio quality drops. Three measurements are taken including an unobstructed straight line test, obstructed test with up to three solid doors, and a test through a brick wall. The results are averaged to calculate an overall range score.
Models marked (A) deliver an audio indication of battery life such as "80% charged"
Near field communication chips make connection to the speaker a simple tap and connect procedure.
Onboard controls to skip back and forward to the next track is very handy, particularly if someone else insists on controlling the music and won't let you near the music player.
Some speakers can handle the outdoors better than others, with some models able to comfortably handle rain, dust and the occasional dunking.
We appraise the clarity and accuracy of the manuals supplied, ease of setting up the speaker itself, as well as connecting it to a wireless source and sending music to the speaker. We also assess the remote control if supplied.
Most of these speakers have much larger batteries than a smartphone so can be very handy when you are caught out and about and need to juice up your mobile. Simply plug the USB cable from the speaker to the phone and you are ready to go.
3.5mm aux in port.
This allows you to keep the charging adapters to a minimum when traveling as you may have several devices that use the same micro USB cable.
Note: Although the USB connection on the Cambridge speaker will charge a smartphone, the speaker will only do so if it is powered from a power point, not from battery power, which makes it less useful than the other speakers which can charge other devices whilst on battery power.
While the Harman Kardon speaker lacks the ability to charge devices, the power adapter has two additional full-size USB connections to power smaller devices such as smartphones and tablet devices
Speakers with this feature allow you to take a call using the speaker to hear the call and an onboard mic to talk to the caller. Once the call is finished, the music will continue to play.
On board volume control can be handy when you don't want to go looking for your music playing device.

Get alerts when there is a new article that might interest you.
The senators pressed Abizaid about the timeline for success. He said that it was important to get Baghdad under control within four to six months, and that the Iraqis must do it. But it is very hard to be sanguine that the situation in Iraq will hold for half a year at the present level of violence in the capital. We must also keep in mind that violence in Baghdad--and around the country--has been rising, rather than falling. Abizaid's confidence that we can afford to wait six months to address this problem is unfounded and misplaced.
His optimism about the Iraqi military's ability to accomplish the tasks he is setting for it is also misplaced. It will take time to locate and train additional U.S. soldiers to embed with Iraqi units. It will take more time for those embedded soldiers to bring the Iraqi units to a higher level of military capability. Providing equipment to the Iraqis, including the necessary spare parts and ammunition, will take time. Familiarizing them with the equipment and with how to use it effectively in combat will take more time. Developing the logistical systems necessary to sustain Iraqi units in combat will take still more time. Even if Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki agreed tomorrow to purge the Iraqi army and police of rogue elements, doing so would take time, as would finding replacements and retraining units distorted by the presence of such leaders. A significant increase in the capabilities of the Iraqi military and security forces is almost certain to take months. Only then, according to Abizaid, should the clearing and holding of Baghdad begin. That process will take additional months--we've been working on it, after all, since August 8, when the most recent effort, Phase II of Operation Together Forward, began. So Abizaid's Iraqi-centered scenario for progress is, simply put, unrealistic in the short term.
And that's only with respect to Baghdad. Apart from Falluja and Ramadi, the largest cities in the province, to be sure (see Michael Fumento's "Holding Ramadi" elsewhere in this issue), al Anbar is largely out of U.S. and Iraqi government control. Pressed about the need to work on that province while improving the situation in Baghdad, Abizaid declared that Baghdad was the main effort and Anbar would have to wait. So for at least the next six months, while we and the Iraqis focus on Baghdad, the insurgency in Anbar province will continue to thrive.
The continuation of the insurgency in Anbar is more important than Abizaid is making out. It may be a secondary effort for us, but the fact of an uncontrolled Sunni Arab insurgency is the most important factor preventing Maliki from disarming Shiite militias. We are caught in a vicious circle. Because we have not effectively suppressed the Sunni Arab insurgency, the Shiite communities in Iraq demand protection. We refuse to provide it to them, so they turn to militias. Those militias, in turn, victimize the Sunni Arab population. That victimization fuels the insurgency. It is a straightforward cycle that seems to be escaping our military leaders. Demanding that Maliki break it by disarming the militias is folly--as long as the Sunni Arab insurgency continues to burn, no Iraqi political leader will be able to convince the Shiite community to abandon the forces it sees as essential for its self-defense. And as long as the Shiite militias continue to victimize Sunni Arabs, it will be incredibly difficult to bring the Sunni Arab insurgent leaders to the negotiating table, even if they could bring their followers with them. The U.S. military is the only force in Iraq capable of breaking this cycle by bringing security to the country, and Abizaid and his senior commanders in Iraq continue to reject that solution.
The question of troop levels in Iraq is fundamental. With the forces currently deployed, according to Abizaid's own testimony, the United States is unable to accomplish the following tasks all at once: Train Iraqi troops as quickly as necessary, support them in their efforts to clear and hold Baghdad, and reduce the violence in Anbar. Indeed, Lieutenant General Michael D. Maples, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, also testified last week. He stated that, despite all of our joint efforts, the Sunni Arab insurgency has actually gained strength and capacity. Operation Together Forward II, he declared, has achieved "limited success." Sectarian violence decreased in August, when the operation began, but "as armed groups adapted to the Coalition presence, and the I[raqi] S[ecurity] F[orces] was unable to exert authority once Coalition forces moved on, attacks returned to and even surpassed preoperational levels." In other words, the operation has failed so far because there are not enough U.S. forces to support Iraqi efforts to hold the cleared neighborhoods.

exact fit for my Aprilaire 445
This replacement pad was an exact fit for my Aprilaire 445. It's cheap, so I don't think that changing it once a year will be a problem.

My biggest need was for a sturdy table with no wobble, and this table fits the bill perfectly. Each leg has two screws which so far has held them firmly in place. The table has a nice looking pattern and finish, but it comes off more easily than I expected. I managed to take a small bit off an edge just by leaning the table against a wall to screw in the legs. If its used lightly I think it would be great for formal dining uncovered, but for regular use I would strongly recommend a tablecloth and possibly a table mat underneath to prevent scratches. I mainly use the table for gaming; its perfect for 4 people and usable but smallish for 6 people. I would avoid activities such as food prep that could involve objects sliding across it. For any nerd gamers out there, this thing is perfect for small games of CCGs, board games like Catan or Carcassonne, card games like Munchkin or poker, etc. If you don't mind the inevitable scratches this is a great table for the price.
Looks great, quality is just OK
Catherine from Brighton, MA– Verified Buyer
I bought four of these chairs. I really like the look and the finish. It seems like they have a slight problem with craftsmanship, which I can overlook since they were really affordable. Under the seat on some of the chairs the braces were cracked, some of the holes didn't line up, and the feet on the bottom of the chairs were different sized so they wobbled. We were able to resolve all those issues pretty easily and they're sturdy enough, so they work for what we need right now.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Tonga primed for physical encounter
ESPNscrum Staff
September 7, 2011
Finau Maka will captain Tonga in their opening clash © Getty Images
Tonga have named their side charged with attempting one of the biggest upsets the World Cup has ever seen.
Isitolo Maka's side face hosts and tournament favourites New Zealand on Friday in the World Cup opener and despite having the worst discipline in the tournament's history - with three red cards and seven yellows to their name - captain Finau Maka is adamant his side will throw everything they have at the All Blacks.
Tonga's recent disciplinary record has improved though with the All Blacks naming a physical backline instead of unleashing their flyers, coach Graham Henry is anticipating a battle of attrition. And captain Maka is adamant that no quarter will be given in their opening clash.
"We won't hold back on the physical approach, definitely," Maka said. "I think our three Pacific island teams like to play physical games so we're just going to take it to the All Blacks on Friday and see if they can stop us."

HOUSTON -- Schlumberger said that it expects to keep working in Venezuela and is on the way to resolving its problems with PdVSA, which owes the oil service provider hundreds of millions of dollars.
The announcement came two weeks after Schlumberger CEO Paal Kibsgaards cited "collection issues" while saying that the company would "temporarily" cut back on activity.
Venezuela depends on international oilfield services companies' help it develop its vast oil resources, analysts say. But they add that the country's government also relies on its national oil company, PdVSA, as a source of cash to finance some social programs, leaving it short on cash at times.
Venezuela's oil minister, Rafael Ramirez that PdVSA's debts to service providers rose by 35% in 2012 compared with the previous year, when it said it owed service providers more than $12 billion.
PdVSA has not yet released its complete 2012 financial results, but said in a report on its website that its total debt rose 15% to $40 billion last year. Still, Schlumberger has offered few specifics on what has changed in its relationship with PdVSA that led the company to stay.
Mr. Kibsgaards, in a statement posted on the company's website, said that collections from Venezuela have improved to the point where the company will recognize revenue from Venezuela in its first quarter operations.
"We further expect to finalize a new payment agreement with PdVSA" he said, adding, "We anticipate ramping up activity to meet the current and future needs of PdVSA."
Schlumberger wrote in its most recent annual report that Venezuela accounts for between 5% and 10% of its outstanding payment balance, which puts the amount it is owed at $650 million and $1 billion, one of only five countries to account for that much.
Last month, after Mr. Kibsgaards's comments on cutting back on activities, Oil Minister Ramirez, who is also PdVSA's CEO, said that many statements were taken out of context by various media outlets, incorrectly suggesting tensions were high between PdVSA and its partners.
Mr. Ramirez said he was visited by the Schlumberger head and had a "very good meeting" where "we clarified all of the issues."
"We don't just resolve our problems through the microphone. We called the president of Schlumberger. He showed up yesterday" Mr. Ramirez told reporters at the PdVSA headquarters in Caracas. He added that the Schlumberger CEO will return to Venezuela at the end of April to tour the Orinoco heavy oil belt with PdVSA officials "to see the big push our guys are making out there in drilling and production."
In securities filings, several oilfield services companies have complained about delayed payments from PdVSA and have said they are owed hundreds of millions of dollars for their work there, in addition to write-downs some have had to take after Venezuela announced a surprise devaluation of its currency earlier this year.
Barclay's analyst James West said that Schlumberger "took a hard line" with PdVSA and the Schlumberger report of progress on the issue is good news for the other Big Four services companies, Halliburton, Baker Hughes and Weatherford International, which all have significant operations in Venezuela.
Mr. West said that although there have been periods of nonpayment in Venezuela depending on what else is going on in the country politically, some 95% of all receivables have been paid eventually.
"It ebbs and flows. When there's an election, PdVSA tends to stop paying" he said. "Usually over time, the majority of it is resolved for the big services companies."

After the care groups meet, members assemble together to study a lesson from God's word. The class is fortunate to have two teachers, David Deal and Deanna Dalton, who use a team teaching approach. These two teachers apply the ancient truth of God's word to the times in which we live with a diversity of presentation styles. Guests and new members are always welcome!

If you are not participating in a small group, you are more than welcome to come and be a part of a group of people who love the Lord and love each other. We are seeking to grow in our Christian walk as we study the Bible one verse at a time.

Obama's Second Inaugural Loaded with Historytags: inauguration, Barack Obama, presidents, inaugural address, Ian Reifowitz
Ian Reifowitz is the author of "Obama's America: A Transformative Vision of Our National Identity" (Potomac Books, 2013).

Barack Obama has always had a keen sense of history, both how to make it and to talk about it. He consistently offers an inclusive, unifying narrative of our country's past that helps explain his conception of our national identity. We can see this clearly in his second inaugural address.
Right off the bat the president drew on his favorite lines from our common story, those from the Declaration of Independence that proclaim our liberty and the equality of all people. He described us as being on a "never-ending journey" to ensure that our society lives up to those ideals. Unlike Tea Partiers who dress in revolutionary garb as a political statement, Obama rejects the notion that an earlier period embodies the 'true' America. He argues instead that today we are closer to that true America than ever.
A string of events highlighted signposts along the common path we've travelled: a revolution to win independence, a war to end slavery, building our infrastructure and education system, enacting rules that restrained the excesses of a free market, and crafting a safety net to help those the market leaves behind. Here the president took us from 1776 right up to the present, characterizing all those accomplishments -- including the progressive social programs enacted by FDR, LBJ and, well, BHO -- as crucial steps along our journey. He also noted that we achieved all these things "together," even as we've held to such "constants" as a belief in limited government, the importance of personal responsibility, and the virtues of hard work and entrepreneurial initiative.
After acknowledging our individualist strain and, if indirectly, the influence of Reagan-era conservatism on our collective consciousness, Obama again drew on history -- referring to previous struggles against fascism and communism -- to emphasize that, despite this strain, collective action will continue to be necessary to tackle our biggest problems. He then returned to the aforementioned "founding creed," asserting that honoring it means we must ensure that "a little girl born into the bleakest poverty knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else because she is an American, she is free, and she is equal not just in the eyes of God but also in our own."
That creed, Obama noted, stood at the center of great liberationist movements throughout our history. He listed place-names from two that he (and others, to be sure) have mentioned before: the long movements for women's rights (Seneca Falls) and civil rights (Selma). The president also listed a third (Stonewall) that signifies one never before been heard in an inaugural address, namely that of gay rights. Stonewall -- which sparked the contemporary gay rights movement -- refers to a 1969 clash at a Greenwich Village bar between homosexuals and police officers seeking to arrest or otherwise harass them essentially for being gay, standard practice at that time. Placing Stonewall in the liberationist pantheon alongside Seneca Falls and Selma represents Obama saying that the gay rights movement's fight for equality is central to America completing its journey toward perfection.
In fact, Obama has previously included Seneca Falls and Selma in his American history narrative. In Des Moines, Iowa, on May 20, 2008, he spoke of "the spirit that sent the first patriots to Lexington and Concord and led the defenders of freedom to light the way north on an Underground Railroad. It's what sent my grandfather's generation to beachheads in Normandy, and women to Seneca Falls, and workers to picket lines and factory fences. It's what led all those young men and women who saw beatings and billy clubs on their television screens to leave their homes, and get on buses, and march through the streets of Selma and Montgomery -- black and white, rich and poor." That day, as in the inaugural address, the president gave pride of place in our country's story to victories won on the military battlefield and in the battle for equality. Placing Stonewall in that pantheon makes his historical narrative even more fully inclusive.
In his second inaugural President Obama used history to connect the struggle to ensure equal rights and equal opportunity for all to the core values expressed at our nation's founding. He called the egalitarian creed long ago written in the Declaration of Independence the "star that guides us still." Although we may never all agree on certain questions, Barack Obama's American history narrative can, hopefully, enhance a sense of unity binding together the varied elements of our population and help us truly be, as he has often called us, "one American family."
