Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by widespread, unexplained pain in the muscles and joints.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by widespread, unexplained pain in the muscles and joints. The condition is often associated with the presence of tender points—specific places on the body where the application of light pressure causes pain. Other fibromyalgia symptoms include fatigue, problems sleeping, depression, and anxiety. Fibromyalgia symptoms are often triggered by emotional stress, physical trauma such as a car accident, or an illness such as a viral or bacterial infection.
The causes of fibromyalgia are not well understood, but symptoms are thought to be a result of the brain and nerves misinterpreting or overreacting to normal pain signals, possibly due to an imbalance in neurotransmitter chemicals.
Fibromyalgia affects between two and five percent of all people. Women are eight or nine times more likely than men to have it, but it does occur in both sexes. It is most often diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, though children and teens can exhibit symptoms as well.
Because its symptoms are somewhat subjective and don't have a clear known cause, fibromyalgia is often misdiagnosed as another disease. Although it is becoming more widely accepted in medical circles, there are some doctors and researchers who do not consider fibromyalgia a real disease.

Out of Stock
Item # BMB0001
2013 This model is no longer in stock.
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Custom Road Bikes & Frames in stock than that.
Boardman Bikes Elite 9.8 AiR $0.00
Aerodynamic precision.
Keeping his finger on the pulse of cycling's aerodynamic research since his Individual Pursuit gold medal in the '92 Games, Chris Boardman continues to funnel these wind-tunnel-obsessed years of research and experience into his Elite bike series. The new Elite 9.8 AiR stands in as Boardman's flagship aerodynamic frame, as it was developed to be the ultimate lightweight, comfortable, and efficient racing frame platform.
It's no surprise that every tube on the Elite 9.8 AiR was meticulously examined and tested to be the most efficient possible. After all, when you consider that a section of Mr. Boardman's resume includes breaking the hour record three times, you know that his frames' tube shapes — in relation to aerodynamics — are always at the top of the priority list. It's a striking characteristic that you'll notice the first time you look at the AiR 9.8, as the clean lines are both aesthetically pleasing and function-driven.
Knowing that road bikes are seldom ridden in flat, calm conditions, Boardman carefully designed the AiR 9.8's tubes with shapes that not only efficiently handle head-on winds, but also those less-than-ideal crosswinds that are encountered in racing situations. These wind-tunnel-tested tubes wear a fairly slender width profile throughout, which creates the optimal balance between vertical compliance and aerodynamics. The top tube remains fairly round, while the down tube, seat tube, and integrated seatpost have been shaped to maximize airflow and reduce wind-resistance. The material selected for the AiR 9.8's frame is a high modulus unidirectional carbon fiber, constructed with a full monocoque design. Similarly, the fork was built out of the same predictable, race-tested, and ultralight carbon fiber.
The Elite 9.8 AiR's fork was designed to be exceptionally stable, comfortable, and to efficiently handle variable wind conditions. Boardman factored in that both the proximity and spinning of the front wheel also affect the fork's ability to reduce wind-resistance, which is why its blades were computer modeled to manage that challenging local flow condition. Because of this, Boardman flattened the insides of the blades and curved the outside surfaces for an enhanced airflow interaction between the fork and wheel. This same principle is also true for the seatstays, which is why they feature a similar profile. The frame was built with full internal cable routing, furthering airflow enhancement and a clean overall appearance.
The Elite 9.8's AiR mold incorporates a one-piece BB30 bottom bracket and oversized box section chainstays, which, with a steep taper design at the dropouts, maximizes power transfer and strength at the rear junction. Along these lines, the full carbon fork was built with a 1-1/2 to 1-1/8in tapered steerer for increased stiffness and steering precision.
And while the 9.8 checks all of the aerodynamic and stiffness boxes, it's also light. The frame comes in at a feathery 1,150g, making it competitive among the other "aero road frames" that are currently available.
The Boardman Bikes Elite 9.8 AiR is available in five sizes from X-Small to X-Large and in the color Matte Black.

How long do you intend to stay at United?
As long as I'm happy and as long as people are happy with me. For the time being, I'm fine. It's one of the most famous clubs in the world. It's wonderful to be here.
What if you don't get picked regularly?
I'd be upset. Who wouldn't? I want this team to win but I want them to do it with me. A victory without me would be a hollow victory.
Are professional relationships with players important?
Of course. Football is a team game. You can only be successful if you play as a team. A football team is not 11 players, it's one.
Aren't there particular players you especially respect, or dislike at United?
No. I respect my club. I respect my team. I respect them all. They're all good players. Since I started playing, my main interest has been in playing as a team. The day 11 players play as one, they'll be unbeatable. That's football. My aim isn't to score more goals than my opposite number, but to play in the team that scores the most goals. That's what football's about. If I thought personal glory was more important than team glory, I'd have taken up an individual sport. As it is, if I play well but the team loses, I'm gutted.
What would you do if you couldn't play football?
I'd burn my life out as quickly as possible. That's what I'd like to do. As intensely as possible. I have no time for longevity. Living fast and hard, that's what interests me.
The professional life of a footballer is short. Does that appeal?
If I wanted to carry on playing and couldn't, I'd be upset. It would all seem far

Sammy Price
Sammy Price
Sammy Price had a long and productive career as a flexible blues and boogie-woogie-based pianist. He studied piano in Dallas and was a singer and dancer with Alphonso Trent's band during 1927-1930. In 1929, he recorded one solitary side under the title of "Sammy Price and His Four Quarters." After a few years in Kansas City, he spent time in Chicago and Detroit. In 1938, Price became the house pianist for Decca in New York and appeared on many blues sides with such singers as Trixie Smith and Sister Rosetta Tharpe. He led his own band on records in the early '40s which included (on one memorable session) Lester Young. Price worked steadily on 52nd Street, in 1948 played at the Nice Festival with Mezz Mezzrow, spent time back in Texas, and then a decade with Red Allen; he was also heard on many rock & roll-type sessions in the 1950s. In later years he recorded with Doc Cheatham. Sammy Price was active until near his death, 63 years after his recording debut. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi

Sell-equipped family sedan that goes above and beyond the call of duty in terms of performance and handling.
Reviewed by Automotive on 12/18/2001
Since the mid-1990s, the Nissan Maxima has been revered by critics and drivers alike for its combination of comfortable, well-equipped practicality, and genuine performance capability. With distinct styling, a spacious interior, and a smoothly powered 3.0-liter, V-6 engine, the new Maxima hit all the marks in terms of performance, practicality, and even luxury. For 2001, it's available in four trim levels: GXE, SE, SE 20th Anniversary Edition, and GLE. Easy on the eyes, fun to drive, and laden with luxuries and convenient amenities, it's definitely a cut above your average family sedan.
The 2001 Nissan Maxima has introduced a 227-horsepower version of the standard 3.0-liter V-6. That engine comes with the special 20th Anniversary edition of the Maxima, which also includes a bronze-lensed headlight cover, a body kit, faux carbon-fiber interior trim, and drilled metal pedals, among other features. This special edition model is also available in Majestic Blue, a new exclusive color. A new Meridian package has also been introduced as an option for all models. The Meridian package includes bundling side-impact airbags, front seat heating, heated side mirrors, and special trunk lid trim.
The 2001 Nissan Maxima features styling that was developed at its design studio in California. It is 190.5 inches long and has a 108-inch wheelbase. While previous models shared much in common with the Infiniti I30, it shares only the roof with the I30. It also boasts wheel arches suggestive of an Audi, a slat-toothed grille, and teardrop headlights. The SE features alloy wheels, foglights, and a rear decklid spoiler. The special Anniversary model comes equipped with special trim and a unique exterior paint color. It includes additional options across all models, like a power sunroof.
The 2001 Maxima features a spacious interior that can accommodate tall passengers in the front and the back. Front seats consist of buckets, while the rear features a split bench that can be folded to expand the capacity of the trunk. In both cases, headroom and legroom are adequate to substantial with the exception of the rear-seat center position. Its dashboard features large climate and stereo system controls that are well marked and also has power front windows that allow for one-touch up and down operation. The base model GXE includes such features as air-conditioning, remote keyless entry, and power accessories. The line-topping GLE model boasts fake wood interior accents, leather seats, automatic climate control, and a 200-watt Bose audio system. It includes additional options across all models like heated seats.
The 2001 Nissan Maxima is simply a pleasure to drive with robust acceleration and a refined on-road demeanor that puts it on par with the more upmarket Infiniti I30. It's decidedly more performance-oriented than other models in its class, such as the Honda Accord and the Toyota Camry. It delivers a firm ride and handles almost like a sports car. The standard engine is a 3.0-liter V-6 that's rated at 222 horsepower. However, the special edition SE boasts a more powerful 227 horsepower V-6. The handling is great, and transmission choices consist of either a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual.

John Cooper Works unveils its take on the 4x4 MINI Countryman
When MINI Cooper came out with its Mini Countryman in 2010, it looked like what it was – a 4x4 crossover for people who like MINIs, but occasionally need to drive through a field or live on steep, icy hills. This year, MINI's John Cooper Works sub-brand comes out with its version of the Countryman that takes the bucolic MINI and gives it a heavy dose of racetrack style and technology. Read More

In early July we brought you news of a hand-built one-off collaboration between Bavarian motoring giant BMW and Milanese designer/coachbuilder Zagato – the BMW Zagato Coupe. It was a popular piece and it seems Gizmag readers aren't the only ones with taste; the vehicle had such a positive reception that BMW and Zagato agreed to create a roadster version in time for the Pebble Beach Concours at Monterey. With barely six weeks between design sketch and completion it was a tough task but the result is, if anything, more beautiful than the Coupe. Read More

Mac 101: Dealing without iCards
Apple has posted a nifty tip for Mail users who miss the discontinued iCards feature from .Mac: You can use Mail stationery to create an attractive card-like message with your own photos.
In a post on the Mobile Me blog (hey, it's not dead!), Apple says "...it's like the old Make Your Own iCards feature on steroids, and a whole lot easier to use in the bargain."
For Leopard users, Mail comes with 30 email templates you can customize in lieu of sending an iCard. Personally, I think an email is better than an iCard anyway, what with all the greeting card spam that goes on.
You can use photos that you take with Photo Booth, for example, or pictures from iPhoto. Customize it with a clever note, and away you go.
If you don't have Leopard or still want to use an online greeting card site, there are plenty to choose from.
(And if you like our series for beginners, Mac 101, there's much more to learn.)

LONDON (AP) — Fernando Torres endured a miserable debut for Chelsea on Sunday after losing 1-0 to former club Liverpool, which lost its star striker to the defending Premier League champions six days earlier.
Chelsea's 50-million-pound ($80 million) recruit managed only two shots before being substituted in the 65th minute at Stamford Bridge.
Within four minutes of the Spain striker leaving the pitch, Raul Meireles hit his fourth goal in five games to complete Liverpool's double over Chelsea this season and give the club a fourth straight league win without having conceded a single goal.
Gerrard's cross from the right was missed by goalkeeper Petr Cech and Branislav Ivanovic, who had an angry exchange after colliding in the first half, and the ball reached the far post where Meireles hooked it into the net.
The goal would have made Maxi Rodriguez particularly happy after he missed one of the easiest chances of the season in the 33rd minute. The Argentine winger was unmarked at the far post in meeting Steven Gerrard's low cross in front of an unprotected net, but only managed to hit the ball against the bar.
"We are quite on a roll at the moment and are enjoying it," Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish said. "I didn't see our goalkeeper having too much to do and our defense was magnificent in front of him. I don't think any of their forwards will be too happy about the game they had."
In Sunday's other match, Birmingham climbed out of the relegation zone with a 1-0 victory over bottom-place West Ham.
Battling relegation a month ago, Liverpool is now six points behind Chelsea, which occupies the final Champions League spot.
The fourth-place London club remains 10 points behind leader Manchester United, which lost for the first time this season after going down 1-0 at Wolverhampton on Saturday to lead second-place Arsenal by four points.
It was Chelsea's 2-0 loss at Anfield in November that started the slump in which the team surrendered top spot and ultimately forced owner Roman Abramovich to sign Torres, the scorer of those goals, as part of a $115 million deadline-day spending spree.
The Spanish World Cup winner started Sunday alongside Didier Drogba, with Nicolas Anelka sitting behind his fellow forwards.
In front of the Liverpool fans who unfurled banners taunting Torres before kickoff, he had a sight of Pepe Reina's goal after only 90 seconds.
But after receiving former teammate Maxi Rodriguez's wayward pass, Torres' shot had power but lacked precision, the ball floating well over the crossbar. The visiting support responded by throwing their Liverpool shirts bearing No. 9 Torres on to the pitch.
There was little for them to jeer, however, as Torres was largely anonymous and had to wait another 30 minutes for another opening to be created for him by Didier Drogba. The resulting shot was blocked by Jamie Carragher's intervention.
"We have to give Fernando time to adjust to the shape (of the team)," Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti said. "The problem wasn't that Torres played ... we had difficulty finding enough space in front because Liverpool defended very well. They put three defenders in the middle, and we didn't find the right way to attack them ...
"We have to work in training to combine with the other strikers, but that's normal."
At Upton Park, Nikola Zigic took advantage of Wayne Bridge's slack marking to head home from Sebastian Larsson's free kick in the 65th minute to secure Birmingham's win.
"He's upped his game and is at a good level now," Birmingham manager Alex McLeish said of Zigic. "He's an international player and it's been a challenge getting used to England.
"He's beginning to hold his own. He was pushed in the back for the goal but he managed to stay firm and get his head on it."
Demba Ba came close to equalizing late on after coming on as a substitute to make his West Ham debut, but the striker hit the post from a tight angle.

I'd change the number of children we have living in poverty.
Being a Brownie Scout was first my first memory of being actively involved in philanthropy (selling cookies and volunteering in my community). Those experiences really shaped my views on giving back.
There are so many wonderful organizations in our community doing great work. I have had the good fortune of working for two of them. MIFA and BRIDGES are helping our community in completely different ways, but their missions are impacting the lives of our youth and seniors in a tremendous way. They both bring the community together – MIFA by uniting the community through service and BRIDGES through youth leadership and service. The effect of this work is huge for Memphis. It's beautiful to watch and experience.

The shoes look great but the leather is so thin and scratch from nothing. It's the poorest shoe making i've seen in age ! The sole totally sucks. I always wear 10.5, but those are little too large, still stiff to put on so i don't know. There is absolutely no comfort enhancement at all, like plain nothing. It's a wood box you put your foot in.Awesome desing, if you want to decorate the floor of your walkin (which i don't have) cause you cannot expect to wear those as an everyday shoes.

Board Wants More Corporate Farm Information
Oquawka, IL – Henderson County board members believe the state should be more forthcoming about possible corporate agriculture livestock facilities. Chairman Marty Lafary says he asked for a briefing from agriculture department staffers after he heard that up to three such farms might locate in the county. He says he learned that the Department of Agriculture has the final say on permitting such an operation. Lafary believes the state should notify local governents much earlier in the permitting process. He says now, much of an application has already been completed and studied by the state before nearby residents or local units of government are notified.

Hollywood is often at its best when it's making fun of itself, and few movies are funnier or more fun than Singin' in the Rain, the broadly satirical musical comedy about the transition from silent movies to sound.
Gene Kelly, who co-directed the film with Stanley Donen, stars as the stuntman turned matinee idol who falls in love with adorable Debbie Reynolds. He even gets to parody his own swashbuckling in MGM's Technicolor Three Musketeers.

The last time my 14-year-old daughter saw me and my wife being affectionate, she said, "Ewwww, old people kissing." Now, I'm not so old — barely half a century. But let's be frank. My daughter's no different from many people whose objects of fantasy are young and freakishly fit. So even a mild, cutesy little comedy like Hope Springs about two sexagenarians trying to have sex can seem shocking, even transgressive.

British military historian John Keegan spent his life studying war, but he never fought in one and described himself as more or less a pacifist.

His books included A History of Warfare and The Face of Battle.

Step, if you will, into my bedroom at night. (Don't worry, this is a PG-rated invitation.) At first, all is tranquil: My husband and I, exhausted by our day's labors, slumber, comatose, in our double bed. But, somewhere around 2 a.m., things begin to go bump in the night. My husband's body starts twitching, like Frankenstein's monster receiving his first animating shocks of electricity. Thrashing about, he'll kick me and steal the covers. In his dreams, he's always fighting or being chased; one night he said he dreamt Dick Cheney was gaining on him.

In the earliest days of the Civil War, the Union Army focused on cutting off key supply lines on the periphery of the South. The approach was designed to hurt the South's economy and convince its citizens to return to the Union.
Even though President Lincoln said slavery was unjust, in the earliest days of the war he told the Southern states that he wouldn't interfere with slavery as an institution.

Twitter's Dorsey named Cannes Lions Media Person of 2012
By Arif Durrani, campaignlive.co.uk, Wednesday, 16 May 2012 12:50PM
Jack Dorsey, the creator, co-founder and executive chairman of Twitter, is set to be recognised as the Cannes Lions Media Person of the Year in the south of France next month, for creating "an entirely new way for people to communicate".
The birth of the micro-blogging service Twitter can be tracked back through Dorsey's life experience.
Originally from St Louis, an early fascination for mass-transit and how cities function took Dorsey to New York, where he began programming real-time messaging systems for couriers, taxis, and emergency vehicles.
Throughout this work, he witnessed thousands of workers in the field, constantly updating where they were and what they were doing, and came up with the idea for a site that could combine the broad reach of dispatch software, with the ease of instant messaging.
Within a short period, he had built a simple site, Twitter, where users could instantly post short messages of 140 characters or less, known as "Tweets." On 21 March 2006, Dorsey posted the world's first Tweet: "Just setting up my twttr."
Since then, Twitter has become a communication platform with more than 140 million active users around the world, including 10 million in the UK.
Philip Thomas, chief executive of Cannes Lions, said: "Since inventing Twitter in 2006, Jack Dorsey has, in an incredibly short space of time, brought to the world an entirely new way for people to communicate, share ideas, and learn new things.
"It has become, in the meantime, a powerful social and political force, and is now part of the everyday global media language. The power and simplicity of what he has created has made Twitter a social phenomenon, and we are delighted to honour Jack with this award."
Dorsey will be honoured during the Press, Design, Radio and Cyber Lions awards ceremony on the evening of 20 June in the Palais des Festivals, Cannes.
Each year, the festival presents the Media Person of the Year Award to a prominent personality considered influential in the development of today's media landscape, and playing an integral part in shaping the future of the creative industry.
Last year, Google's executive chairman Eric Schmidt was named the Cannes Lions Media Person of the Year.
Other past recipients of the Media Person of the Year Award include: Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook; Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft; Sir Anthony O'Reilly, CEO of Independent News & Media; Tsuneo Watanabe, chairman and editor-in-chief of The Yomiuri Shimbun Holdings; Sumner Redstone, chairman and CEO of Viacom and Gerald Levin, CEO of AOL Time Warner.

As the publishing industry descended on Los Angeles the final week of May for this year's Book Expo America, at least one L.A. celebrity was heard cracking Jewish jokes at his own expense. CNN talk show host Larry King, who hosted a book party at his Beverly Hills home for his longtime friend and boss, Ted Turner, regaled the crowd assembled in the garden of his sprawling Spanish-style mansion with tales of the various misadventures he shared with Turner. Standing beside his towering Mormon wife, Shawn, and flanked by their two young sons, King described the experience of getting lost with Turner in the backwoods of Montana during a visit to the media mogul's ranch. While Turner remained calm, King said, he did not. "I began to do what any dumb Jewish boy would do; I began to cry." As he put it, "A Jew in a Range Rover in Montana is a bad idea." According to King, Turner saved the day by following the stars, and they made it out alive. Turner's autobiography, "Call Me Ted," is forthcoming from Grand Central Publishing.

I just had my 25k service last week and they added this in. This is my second log book service tho, so they dont add it in every 6k at least for me anyway. The fuel additive cost me an extra $14 from memory (without having the bill in front of me).

Mine has always been serviced at the local Subaru dealer except for the first 5000km service, when it was done at the purchasing dealer. I've never had a complaint.
Each service an upper engine cleaner is added, part no SA459, for $15.59. At the 50000km service a fuel additive part no SA718 cost $13.50 was also used. They actually left the bottle on the front seat and said I could add it. That was the service where the engine, diff & gearbox oil was changed as well as the brake fluid and coolant. Whole service was $424 (parts $205, labour $170 and GST $39) which is about what we pay at the Toyota dealer for a Camry. I still don't know what the difference is between the two fuel additives.

Got my 09 XT service at Subaru Geelong today. Hit me up for the upper engine cleaner and the fuel additive at the 12,500 service. They put Shell Eco semi-synth 10w 30 oil in it. The manual specifies 5w 30 and I know the whole viscosity thing but previously they used Castrol Edge 5w 30 fully synthetic so I assumed I'd get that quality again. I'd prefer the castrol so might pay to specify or BYO for the next one. About $240 all up.

Just bizarre that the additive is not covered under the fleet agreement when it is obviously needed every 6000km's. Anyone with a fleet vehicle that had the additive included during service?

You'll find it much cheaper to pick up 5l of Castrol Edge at , say, Supercheap on special and take it in with you for the service. Filters usually seem about same price from Subaru service.

12500 service...
Just had my 12.5K service - Oil was Castrol FMX ($40).
Upper engine cleaner (de-carboniser) - SA459 - $15.50 - this it one that goes into the intake I think. They put one bottle of fuel cleaner additive into the tank and gave me one to tip in, in another 6000km - $13.50 each. The fuel cleaner is made by BARS for Subaru - thay are all pretty much the same stuff.

I'm servicing my car myself this weekend. Might pop into the Subaru service center down the road and get the additive from them.

Member states of the Council of Europe
Notes on table; aWithdrew from Council in September, 1967, until 1974 during the Regime of the Colonels. bIn 1950, the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany), est. 23 May 1949, and then French-occupied Saar (protectorate) became associate members. (West) Germany became a full member in 1951, while the Saarland withdrew from its associate membership in 1956 after acceding to the Federal Republic after a referendum in 1955. The Soviet-occupied eastern part of Germany and later East German Democratic Republic never became a member of the Council of Europe. Through German reunification in 1990, the five Länder (i.e. states/regions) of East Germany acceded to the Federal Republic of Germany and thus gained representation in the Council of Europe. |
The Council of Europe has 47 member states. It was founded on 5 May 1949 by ten European states. Greece and Turkey joined three months later, and Iceland and Germany the next year. It now has 47 member states, with Montenegro being the latest to join.
Article 4 of the Council of Europe Statute specifies that membership is open to any "European" State. As a result, nearly all European states have acceded to the Council of Europe, with the exception of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Vatican City and some of the states with limited recognition.

Following its declaration of independence on 3 June 2006, Montenegro submitted a request to accede to the Council of Europe. The Committee of Ministers transmitted the request to the Parliamentary Assembly for an opinion, in accordance with the usual procedure.[3] Eleven days later, on 14 June 2006, the Committee of Ministers declared that the Republic of Serbia would continue the membership of the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro.[4] On 11 May 2007, Montenegro joined the Council of Europe as the 47th member state.
Czechoslovakia joined on 21 January 1991 and left on 31 December 1992 upon its dissolution into the Czech Republic and Slovakia, which joined on 30 June 1993.
Special Guest status with the Assembly was established as a provisional status for parliaments of European non-member states which applied for membership in the Council of Europe.[5]
The Parliament of Belarus held special guest status with the Parliamentary Assembly from September 1992 to January 1997, but this has been suspended as a consequence of the November 1996 constitutional referendum and parliament by-elections which the CoE found to be undemocratic, as well as limits on democratic freedoms such as freedom of expression (cf. Belarusian media) under the administration of President Alexander Lukashenko. The constitution changed by the referendum "does not respect minimum democratic standards and violates the principles of separation of powers and the rule of law."[6] Belarus applied for full membership on 12 March 1993 (still open).
Kazakhstan applied for the Special Guest status with the Parliamentary Assembly in 1999. The Assembly found that Kazakhstan could apply for full membership, because 4% of its territory, west of the Ural river, is located in Europe,[7] but granting Special Guest status would require improvements in the fields of democracy and human rights. Kazakhstan signed a co-operation agreement with the Assembly in April 2004. In November 2006, the Kazakhstan Parliament officially asked to be granted observer status with the Assembly. On 15 to 16 March 2010, the President of the Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) made an official visit to Kazakhstan,[8] resulting in the conclusion that the Council of Europe and Kazakhstan strengthen their relations. This milestone emboldens Kazakhstan's "Path to Europe" programme, as outlined by Kazakh president Nursultan Nazarbayev in Astana in 2008.[9]
Enver Hoxhaj, Kosovo's Minister of Foreign Affairs, has stated that an application for membership of the Council of Europe in 2014 is being prepared.[10]
Observer status was designed for non-European democracies willing to contribute to democratic transitions in Europe.[5]
Canada, Japan, Mexico, the U.S. and the Holy See have observer status with the Council of Europe and can participate in the Committee of Ministers and all intergovernmental committees. They may contribute financially to the activities of the Council of Europe on a voluntary basis.
The parliaments of Canada, Israel and Mexico have observer status with the Parliamentary Assembly and their delegations can participate in Assembly sessions and committee meetings. Representatives of the Palestinian Legislative Council may participate in Assembly debates concerning the Middle East as well as Turkish-Cypriot representatives from Northern Cyprus concerning this island.
There has been criticism concerning the observer status of Japan and the United States because both countries apply the death penalty.[11] The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has been lobbying for the United States and Japan to abolish the death penalty or lose their observer status. The Council also voted to restore Special Guest status to Belarus, on condition that Belarus declare a moratorium on the death penalty.
In 2009 Assembly established a new status for institutional co-operation with parliaments of non-member states in neighboring regions wishing to be supported by the Assembly in their democratic transitions and to participate in the political debate on common challenges.[5]
The new status is called "Partner for democracy" and interested states could obtain it if they commit to embrace the values of the Council of Europe such as pluralist democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms; to encourage a moratorium on executions and abolish the death penalty; to organize free and fair elections; to become party to the relevant CoE conventions; to utilize the expertize of the Assembly and the Venice Commission in its institutional and legislative work.[5]
CoE has adopted the policy of dialogue with the neighboring regions of the southern Mediterranean, the Middle East and Central Asia – based on respect for universal human rights. Following this policy the Assembly has already established working contacts with parliaments of neighbouring countries other than those of the CoE Observers: Algeria, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Tunisia and the Palestinian Legislative Council. Several of these parliaments have expressed interest in upgrading the status of the existing co-operation, and in establishing a relationship on a permanent basis. Since 1994 the parliaments of the countries bordering the Council of Europe member states have the possibility of concluding special co-operation agreements with the Assembly, but it has not generated much interest among the parliaments concerned, which suggests that it does not offer sufficient clarity and visibility. So far only the Kazakhstan Parliament had taken advantage of it since 2004. In November 2006, the Kazakhstan Parliament officially asked to be granted observer status with the Assembly. Such formal or informal requests are made by a number of parliaments that are already co-operating with it but think that the institutionalized recognition of that co-operation could make it more visible, more coherent and more effective. However the observer status is considered inappropriate in these cases, as it requires that the state receiving it already complies with the CoE core values and principles, which is not the case for the states currently requesting it, who are in the early stages of democratic transition.[5]
The newly established "Partner for democracy" status is similar to the co-operation initiatives of other intergovernmental organizations of mostly European states such as the European Neighbourhood Policy of the EU, the partners for co-operation of OSCE, the cooperation with non-member states of NATO.
The national parliaments eligible to request a "Partner for democracy" status are from the following countries:[5]
- southern Mediterranean and Middle East participants in the Union for the Mediterranean: Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and maybe Libya[12]
- Central Asian participants in the OSCE: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan
- other states if the Bureau of the Assembly so decides
As of 2012 the following parliaments have been accorded "Partner for democracy" status:[13][14]
- Morocco - June 2011[15]
- Palestinian National Council - 4 October 2011[16]
- initial discussion are also held with Kazakhstan.[8]
