How China Is Ruled
China had three revolutions in the twentieth century. The first was the 1911 collapse of the Qing dynasty, and with it, the country's traditional system of governance.

Europe's social democrats hoped that the 2008 economic meltdown would vindicate their politics and strengthen their hand. But they failed to see how badly they had damaged their brand by compromising on core principles during the previous two decades. To find their way forward, they must return to their roots.

In my book Of Empires and Citizens, I argue that at the height of the period of authoritarian rule in the Middle East, Arab societies were divided between those people who benefited from their leaders' relationship with the United States, and therefore sought to preserve the dictatorships, and those who did not, and therefore sought democracy.

Hardly the blow to democracy that many painted it as, the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United will make American politics more competitive, less beholden to party bosses, and more responsive to the public at large. It may even help break the fiscal stalemate strangling the U.S. economy.

The world may expect great things from India, but as extensive reporting reveals, Indians themselves turn out to be deeply skeptical about their country's potential. That attitude, plus New Delhi's dysfunctional foreign-policy bureaucracy, prevent long-term planning of the sort China has mastered -- and are holding India back.

A decade ago, when the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq began, the United States chose to immerse itself in the greater Middle East when it had little reason to dive in. But now that most Americans want little to do with the region, U.S. officials are finding it difficult to turn away, writes Richard N. Haass.

The Venezuelan revolutionary Simon Bolívar has a remarkably elastic legacy. Ever since his death in 1830, Latin American politicians across the political spectrum have claimed to be his rightful heir. What Bolívar left behind, it turns out, was less a coherent set of ideas than an abstract vision of Latin American unity -- a vision that remains impossible today.

Rep. Tim Scott of Charleston seems to be the popular choice to replace the retiring Sen. Jim DeMint, who is off to head up the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation.
That might be good for the Republican Party and Scott.
A less obvious choice might be better for the state. With apologies to Stephen Colbert, Mark Sanford should receive strong consideration.
Scott won a second term in the House of Representatives last month and will continue representing the Grand Strand only until next month when Tom Rice takes over, a result of redistricting.
He would be an intriguing choice on several levels.
If Gov. Nikki Haley chooses Scott, it would mean South Carolina would have a minority as governor, Indian-American Nikki Haley, and the only black representative in the U.S. Senate, who would also be the first black person from the South to serve in such a capacity since the early 1880s.
Scott is a popular member of the tea party wing of the Republican Party who spoke at the Republican National Convention.
Hes qualified and DeMints supporters would not feel slighted, given the men share a political philosophy.
It would be an incredible feat for a state that still battles an unrefined racial image built largely upon our history of slavery, defiance against integration and a Confederate flag that continues to fly on the grounds of the State House in Columbia.
Scotts appointment would put to rest the image of then-segregationist Strom Thurmond holding a record-long 24 hour and 18-minute filibuster against the 1957 Civil Rights Act. Thurmond eventually became the longest-serving senator from South Carolina ever at more than 47 years, the third-longest tenure in the countrys history.
But Sanford makes sense, too.
The former governor halted his steady march up the national political ladder with an affair that almost derailed his second term.
Though he was able to salvage much of his final term after that high-profile incident, his traipse along the Appalachian Trail is what many people remember.
Sanford hasnt publicly said hed even be interested, and hes surely not someone mentioned on Haleys short list.
Still, hed be a wise choice.
Sanford was the tea party before its modern incarnation.
He consistently fought for fiscally conservative ideas and positions during his three terms in the House and two terms as governor.
No, he wasnt perfect or pure. I havent been shy in years past pointing out where I disagreed with or was disappointed in him.
But youd be hard pressed to find someone more consistently committed to the types of fiscal concerns the tea party cites most often.
Perhaps more importantly, he doesnt carry the tea party baggage that follows Scott and DeMint.
Sanford has upset as many people in his party in Washington and Columbia as he has in the Democratic party.
While the tea party says it is non-partisan and cares more about the country than the GOP, its actions over the past 4 years strongly suggest otherwise. Much of the growing angst with the tea party isnt about its fiscal positions, but about its tactics and seeming disregard for the struggles of everyday Americans. Thats why a recent Winthrop University poll showed that less than 6 percent of South Carolina residents now identify as tea partiers.
Sanford has strong conservative views on social issues as well, based on his faith. But he hasnt made them a centerpiece of his career.
That could give his demands for fiscal constraint on the Senate floor more credibility and perhaps more bipartisan support. Sanford had a secure seat in the House and could still be in Washington had he chosen. Instead, he vowed to limit himself to 3 terms and stuck to his promise.
He could serve 2 years in the Senate and provide a laser-like focus on fiscal constraint.
Sanford would not feel obligated to repay political favors or give in to unrealistic demands from residents who say they want to see government spending reined in just as the reining doesnt include spending they cherish.
Choosing Scott could help help mend this states ugly, divided past, a worthy goal.
Choosing Sanford might do more for our future.

But while the world watched the lockdown in Boston, the fear gripping the city showed few signs of spilling into the stock market Friday.
The Dow closed slightly higher despite concerns about the health of tech giant IBM (IBM, Fortune 500). Shares of IBM, which carries the biggest weighting in the Dow, dropped more than 6% Friday following weak earnings.
Yet the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq ticked higher, gaining 0.9% and 1.3% respectively.
Mixed bag of earnings reports: Some of the world's biggest companies handed investors big surprises, but they offered no easy takeaways about the health of corporate America.
"No broader trend has emerged yet," said BTIG's chief market strategist Dan Greenhaus. "A lot of what we have seen is company specific."
Related: Fear & Greed Index stuck in fear
Take industrials. General Electric (GE, Fortune 500) spooked investors by noting its big backlog of equipment and services. Its stock fell 4%.
Yet, appliance maker Honeywell (HON, Fortune 500) reported an increase in first-quarter earnings, pushing up its stock price by 4%.
And Big Macs are not so hot. McDonald's (MCD, Fortune 500) shares dropped after the hamburger maker noted a decline in same-store sales.
But Chipotle (CMG) -- one of hedge fund manager David Einhorn's least favorite stocks -- rose more than 10%. The Mexican food chain reported earnings that showed increases in revenue, income and same-store sales.
The contrasting reports continued in the tech sector. While IBM fell drastically, other tech stocks fared better. Microsoft (MSFT, Fortune 500) got a big boost in its latest earnings report from strong Windows 8 sales.
Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) earnings topped estimates, even as the search giant faces challenges with how to make money off mobile ads and its Motorola smartphone unit.
Analysts expect earnings for S&P 500 companies to rise by 2% for the first quarter, according to S&P Capital IQ. But earnings season is far from over. So far, 104 S&P 500 companies have reported, with 70 beating forecasts, 23 missing and 11 coming in in line.
Apple, Dell and other M&A news: Shares of Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500), which have been in freefall lately, closed slightly lower, hitting another new 52-week low.
Meanwhile, Dell's (DELL, Fortune 500) stock slid more than 3% following reports that Blackstone (BX) had dropped its bid to buy the PC company.
Shares of PepsiCo (PEP, Fortune 500) and Mondelez (MDLZ) rose 2% and 5% respectively, after activist investor Nelson Peltz raised his stake in PepsiCo, according to an SEC filing. Peltz, who also holds a stake in Mondelez, is expected to push for a merger between the two, or some sort of combination of their food and snack businesses. PepsiCo said that it has been meeting with Peltz's Trian fund to reevaluate its business.
A mega beer merger received the Department of Justice's blessing. The DOJ agreed to allow the merger of Anheuser Busch InBev (BUD) and Grupo Modelo after Modelo sells certain U.S. assets to Constellation Brands (STZ).
SeaWorld (SEAS) debuted Friday with the amusement park operator's stock jumping more than 25%.

European markets closed mixed, led by a 1% gain on the CAC 40 in Paris.
Asian markets ended firmer. The Shanghai Composite closed up 2.1%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng up 2.3% and Japan's Nikkei up 0.7%.
The dollar rose against the pound and the Japanese yen, but fell against the euro.
Oil and gold prices edged higher.
The price on the 10-year Treasury fell, pushing the yield up to 1.71%.

Scuba Gear Reviews by Kathleen Q.Rating: Sealife replacement camera 3/12/2007 Ok, I was a moron and flooded my Sealife 500. Scuba.com was outstanding at helping me find a replacement camera (housing was ok...a little salty, but ok), and we are back in business. Sealife ought to be just a little LESS proud of the camera, tho. Be careful with yours, replacements other places cost as much as a whole new setup. Was this review helpful? Yes No

FRESH VEGGIES: Carli
Hey Friends!
In correlation with Red Radio EP3, today marks the first installation of a new series on my blog: FRESH VEGGIES.
FRESH VEGGIES will feature personal interviews with friends, colleagues and strangers who have recently made the TOTALLY AWESOME choice to go vegan. I've come up with a list of questions that each subject will answer with honesty and humility, with intentions of more intimately connecting the vegan community, providing information and resources to new vegans, and showing those still on the fence how easy and empowering the whole process can be.
Enjoy the first interview!
xo Erin Red
Name: Carli VanVoorhis
Age: 19
Occupation: Hairstylist Assistant
Physical Activity Level: Always on my feet
Vegan Since: January 2, 2011
Important Details about Me: I was raised in north Idaho, among many proud omnivores. I moved to NYC in September of 2010. Now, here I am.
What did your diet look like before you went vegan?
Oh, man. It looked awful? Let's just say that it looked like I really wanted to be diagnosed with colon cancer in my mid 40s.
Did you have any preconceived notions about veganism before going vegan?
I felt like in the future, people would compare veganism to driving a hybrid car. It's something that we should have been doing all along. I also remember saying that I could never be vegan, like it wasn't even humanly possible for me. That whole mindset definitely changed once I moved to the city and removed my head from my ass.
What was your turning point? How did it come about?
After living in the city for about two and a half months, meeting some inspiring, educated vegans, and doing some of my own research; it became so clear. I could do this. All I have to do is want it. I also think it became a matter of "you can't unknow what you know". Once I learned of the many horrors of the meat/dairy industry, I couldn't pretend that I didn't know what was going on. I decided that as a person who claims to be an animal lover, tree-hugger, and a hater of the U.S. government, I not only wanted to do this, but I felt as if it was my responsibility to do this.
How did you immediately feel emotionally, mentally, physically after going vegan? After one week? After one month?
I was feeling pretty excited, to be honest. I was excited to feel my body be cleansed of all the toxins. After the first week I felt SO GOOD! Mentally, physically, spiritually! I loved the fact that I could look at an animal. A cat, a bird, whatever. I could look that animal in the eye and think yep, no need to fear. I am just another animal.
How did your friends and family react to your lifestyle change?
Like I said, I grew up in Idaho so the parents were like… what? Vaygan? However, they fully support me in my decisions to be vegan and they are very happy for me. I received mixed reactions from friends. The excited ones, obviously the vegans, were very proud of me, ready to support me in the journey. I might've told the unenthusiastic friends as they were eating a ham & cheese hot pocket.. idk… whatevs.
Were there any books that motivated you to change, or helped with your transition?
The first book that sparked a vegan lifestyle to me at all was Skinny Bitch. I had read it about a year and a half before actually making the transition. I felt like everything the book explained was so simple and logical. (ex. cow's milk is for baby cows…)
Did you have any slip-ups? How did you deal with it?
I ate some muffin pastry thing that had milk in it. I didn't know there was milk in it until I heard my stomach telling me to fuck off. Of course I was disappointed, but you just gotta keep on keepin' on. Live n' learn, baby!
How did you deal with your non-vegan items (kept them, replaced them, donated them)?
I just recently found a hat that is definitely NOT vegan in the bottom of my closet. I am waiting for winter time so I can give it to a bum.
Do you miss anything?
All of the rewards that I have reaped, outweigh anything I might miss. To the point that I don't miss anything at all.
What has been your biggest challenge so far?
I have a hard time biting my tongue when I hear stupid people saying stupid things. As an activist, it's my obligation to speak up, but sometimes I should just take the silent rode.
What has been the greatest reward?
So many rewards! The greatest one, I suppose, is knowing the fact that I am no longer participating in the violence & exploitation of another living being.
What are some new foods, cuisines or products you've tried since going vegan?
I have tried many new foods since becoming vegan. All the various ways that tofu can be prepared, many new colorful veggies, coconut milk ice cream, etc.
Is your significant other/roommate/family vegan? Have they become curious?
No. They aren't curious enough to really make a change.
Do you plan to stay vegan? Why or why not?
Definitely. Because that would just be stupid, Jennifer Goodwin. It's called evolving. I can't evolve backwards! Not to mention, I would get so sick. My body would be like NOOOOOO!
What vegan books would you like to read? Vegan movies to see? Vegan locations to visit?
I would like to read The Kind Diet, Eating Animals, and many more. I would love to see Forks Over Knives. I NEED to go to Foodswings, Lula's Sweet Apothecary, Blossom, Red Bamboo, and the Caravan of Dreams, just to name a few…
Have you encouraged your loved ones to make changes? How? What has been the reaction?
Absolutely! I think education is probably one of my most effective ways of encouragement. But then there are times that I can be a little more 'in your face' about it, i'm like DO IT! Stop hurting animals & stop hurting your body! PLEASE! Slowly but surely they are absorbing what I am saying, although I do get brushed off every now & then.
Do you think veganism is a realistic solution for the masses? Why or why not?
For sure! I think it might be one of the only realistic solutions we have. It's sustainable.

CloseDoes anyone have a Twitter policy (or general social media policy with Twitter section in) they could share with me? I am looking for how you write about who manages, frequency of posting / checking as well as 'housestyle'. Especially useful would be an insight into how you share what you learn from twitter (mentions / useful information) outside the social media 'team'.
Any guides to etiquette and what it all means would be useful too.
Thanks in anticipation.....

Browns release RB Brandon Jackson, per league source.
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) September 1, 2013
Given the additions of Bobby Rainey and Dennis Johnson earlier in the day, it's not a surprise to see Jackson gone.
From what I am also hearing is they lost Brandon Magee LB to CLE. Magee had a shot at a practice squad spot if he cleared.
— Bryan Broaddus (@BryanBroaddus) September 1, 2013
Magee was waived by the Cowboys.
Cleveland Fans y'all are unreal! Wanted nothing more than to help bring y'all a championship. Good luck this year! I'm gone #DawgPound
— L.J. Fort (@i_Serve24) September 1, 2013
Fort originally made the 53-man roster, but it appears that he's one of the players being waived today in favor of new additions.
#Browns claim C/OG Patrick Lewis. Lewis started 48 straight games for Texas A&M. Most were at center (final 3 years). A handful at RG.
— Brent Sobleski (@brentsobleski) September 1, 2013
The surprising part of the current rosters is that 77 undrafted rookies made teams. Normally, there are about 50
— John Clayton (@ClaytonESPN) September 1, 2013
The Browns accounted for 5/77 (6.5%) of those UDFA. League average is 2-3 players. Browns kept OG Caylin Hauptmann, OT Martin Wallace, LB Paul Hazel, LB Eric Martin, and S Josh Aubrey. Of those five, I expect three to be waived soon, with Aubrey being the only guaranteed survivor.
Eagles release Danny Watkins http://t.co/tksTVZHNxY
— BleedingGreenNation (@BleedingGreen) August 31, 2013
Watkins was a first-round pick by the Eagles in 2011 when Joe Banner was there. He started 18 games over two seasons, but was generally considered a bust as a first rounder. He could have some value if Browns want to sign him and put him in the starting lineup while Lauvao and Pinkston recover.
#Bengals Release RB Daniel Herron and OT Dennis Roland http://t.co/FnKRyb8boq
— Josh Kirkendall (@CincyJungle) August 31, 2013
Since the Browns will be looking for running back depth, we're looking at young players they could have an interest in. What about Daniel Herron, the former OSU product? He led the Bengals with 31 carries for 167 yards (5.4 avg) and 1 TD this preseason.
The #49ers will sign former Stanford FB Owen Marecic (just released by Browns), per league source. A Harbaugh favorite from the Farm.
— Kyle Bonagura (@KyleBonagura) August 31, 2013
Who would've thought that one of Cleveland's "hot commodity cuts" would be FB Owen Marecic? Actually, it's not a surprise to see him go to the 49ers, who continue to be stacked with former Cleveland players and coaches. Most importantly, though, Marecic played for Jim Harbaugh in college.
#Ravens cut Tandon Doss, Bobby Rainey, Omar Brown, Matt Furstenburg and three others: http://t.co/ciw4LT2zbD
— Baltimore Beatdown (@BMoreBeatdown) August 31, 2013
Rainey is a player I've had my eye on all preseason, and I'm stunned the Ravens cut him. He had 23 carries for 89 yards, but more importantly, averaged 31.9 yards per return on kickoffs. Here's to hoping the Browns can claim him off waivers to salvage their backup running back position!
Let's take a look at how the Browns will do this season

I am just glad my Nicaragua flights in March are on United!
November to CR is the 1st time we ever are using AA and we will see how they are - it may or may not be the last time we use AA ;-)Roam if you want to, roam around the world...........
Well, kyshel, the 'scare tactics' from my perspective as a potential flyer on AA seem fairly straight forward.
I currently am 'scared' to book any flights on AA in the foreseeable future. If I were holding tickets, especially with connecting flight segments on AA, I would be very, very uncomfortable that I might miss connections and be stranded. No let me correct that, I would be scared.
We are considering rescheduling a long weekend trip to Central America until after the New Year, simply because AA is the only carrier offering non-stop service and their flights have been erratic of late.
In my opinion, the 'sick calls' are a deliberate strategy not a coincidence.
Admittedly, I am looking at the situation selfishly as a consumer, since I am a frequently flier with AA.Last edited by omegaet; 09-29-2012 at 01:48 PM.

09-29-2012, 01:59 PMNo sympathy from me for the unions, their members or the management team at American Airlines.
The only losers in this deal are passengers.
I will be glad when the entire mess is settled and I can go back to thinking about flying to South America.

09-30-2012, 04:37 AMI think this article in Time sums up the main points in the American Airlines mess
American Airlines Fighting Pilots Union over Contract Terms | Business | TIME.com
Article covers the root of the issues quite well.
Now, if you want to see a REAL mess--wait to see what happens in a "merger" with US Air."wherever you go, there you are"
Airlines are making profits again - billions in baggage fees alone. No sympathy for airlines from me especially with all the mergers and merger talks - less choice, higher prices, etc. for the consumer. The wave of the future.

No airline is making BILLIONS of $ on baggage fees. You are mistaken about the number of zeroes. Do you have a clue about what fuel costs are per mile per person on any given flight?
Maybe you should investigate the real numbers--OPERATING costs, for example. If you want service, safety, transportation, you have to include all those factors and much more."wherever you go, there you are"

Northeastern's Anding Receives Top Honor on 2012 All-CAA Men's Soccer Team
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (November 8, 2012) - Northeastern senior forward Don Anding was selected as the 2012 CAA men's soccer Player of the Year in voting by the league's head coaches. The award was presented Thursday night on the eve of the semifinals of the CAA Men's Soccer Championship in Philadelphia, Pa.
Also receiving top men's soccer honors from the conference were Northeastern sophomore defender Simon Cox and Hofstra junior defender Shaun Foster, who were chosen as the CAA Co-Defensive Players of the Year. Hofstra freshman midfielder Joseph Holland was named the CAA Rookie of the Year. Northeastern's Brian Ainscough and Drexel's Doug Hess were voted as the CAA Co-Coaches of the Year.
Anding is the first Northeastern player to receive CAA Player of the Year accolades. The senior led the conference with 28 points and ranked second in the league in goals (11), assists (6) and game-winning goals (5). He contributed either a goal or an assist in 12 of the Huskies' 17 contests, including his first career hat trick with three goals in a 5-2 victory over Holy Cross on Sept. 25. Anding, who was the CAA Rookie of the Year in 2009, is the first NU player since 2001 to score 10 or more goals in a season and the first since 2007 to record more than 20 points in a season. He currently ranks third in career goals (22) at NU and is tied for fifth in career points (55).
Cox is Northeastern's first CAA Defensive Player of the Year honoree. The sophomore back anchored a Huskies' defense that surrendered just 15 goals in 17 matches and recorded seven shutouts. Cox also contributed on the offensive end by finishing in a tie for second on the team with four goals, all which came in CAA play.
Foster is the first three-time winner of the CAA Defensive Player of the Year award. The junior back was the leader of a Hofstra defense that allowed only 21 goals in 19 contests and posted seven shutouts, including four in CAA play. Offensively, Foster contributed two goals and an assist. Both goals were game-winners.
Holland was Hofstra's second-leading scorer with six goals and ranked third on the team with 14 points. The freshman midfielder, who made 17 starts, contributed goals in the Pride's conference road victories at George Mason and Delaware. He's the second Hofstra player to be chosen as Rookie of the Year, joining Foster in 2010.
Ainscough, who earned CAA Coach of the Year honors for the first time, guided Northeastern to an 11-2-4 overall record and a second-place finish in CAA with a 6-1-3 mark. The Huskies received the first national ranking in program history this season and are currently ranked #27 by College Soccer News. NU had a 12-match unbeaten streak (8-0-4) from Sept. 15 to Oct. 27 and also was unbeaten at home (7-0-1) for the second year in a row.
Hess led Drexel to a 12-2-3 overall
record and its first outright CAA regular-season title with an 8-1-1 mark. The
Dragons are currently riding a seven-match unbeaten streak (6-0-1), with five
of those victories coming by shutout. Drexel's 12 wins are just one shy of the
program record of 13 set in 1990 and 1998. The CAA Coach of the Year honor is
the first for Hess and just the second earned by a Drexel coach.
Northeastern had a league-high three
selections on the All-CAA first team as Anding and Cox were joined by senior
goalkeeper Oliver Blum (0.64 GAA, 51
svs., 5 ShO). James Madison was represented by senior midfielder Paul Wyatt (9g, 3a) and freshman
defender Bjarki Aðalsteinsson (1g, 1a), while Old Dominion had junior forward Tim Hopkinson (10g, 5a) and senior
midfielder Chris Harmon (9g, 6a).
Rounding out the first team were Hofstra's Foster, Towson junior forward Olakunle Banjo (4g, 4a), George Mason senior forward Taylor Morgan (CAA-best 13 goals), UNCW sophomore midfielder Jamie Dell (4g, 4a) and Drexel junior midfielder Nathan Page (9g, 1a).

[JURIST] The Constitutional Tribunal of Portugal [official website, in Portuguese] ruled [press release, in Portuguese] 3-2 Friday that same-sex marriage [JURIST news archive] is not a right guaranteed by the Portuguese Constitution [text], denying an appeal by a lesbian couple claiming sexual orientation discrimination. For the tribunal, the issue was not whether the constitution allows a framework for same=sex marriage, but rather whether the constitution requires the recognition of unions between members of the same sex as marriages. The couple argued that the constitution should protect their right to wed under the concept of protection from discrimination. Teresa Pires and Helena Paixao are the first to challenge Portuguese laws regarding same-sex marriage, and they regard the split decision as a signal that social attitudes in the country are changing. They intend to pursue [Correio da Manha report, in Portuguese] the issue further in the European Court of Human Rights [official website]. Portuguese media identify [Diario Economico report, in Portuguese] the issue as one that will be raised in the upcoming September legislative elections by leftist parties.In October, the Portuguese Assembly of the Republic [official website, in Portuguese] voted overwhelmingly against [JURIST report] two opposition proposals to legalize same-sex marriage. In Europe, the countries of Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden recognize [Pew Forum report] same-sex marriages. Worldwide, gay rights and the legal status of same-sex relationships are constantly evolving. Canada as well as some states in the US [Pew Forum report] also allow same-sex marriage.
[JURIST] A control order [JURIST news archive] against a suspected terrorist known as AN was overturned [judgment text] Friday by the UK High Court. In overturning the control order, the high court relied on a June decision [judgment, PDF; JURIST report] from a panel of nine Law Lords [official website] requiring the government to let detainees and subjects of control orders know generally what charges they face so that they can mount a defense. Home Secretary Alan Johnson [official profile] has announced plans [BBC report] to draft a new control order against AN. Civil rights group Liberty [advocacy website] condemned the new control order [press release] as a circumvention of the law, claiming, "A handful of officials and specially-vetted lawyers have outlasted dozens of Ministers and built their careers on punishment without trial - leaving Britain less safe and less free"Control orders allow the British government to conduct surveillance and impose house arrest on suspects where there does not exist enough evidence to prosecute. The orders can also be used to forbid the use of mobile phones and the Internet. In February, a UK counter-terrorism official said that some suspects living under control orders have managed to maintain contact [JURIST report] with terrorist organizations. Control orders were first introduced [JURIST report] by the government of former prime minister Tony Blair in 2005 and, apart from being politically controversial, have already run into problems in the courts [JURIST report]. The UK Law Lords ruled [JURIST report] in a series of decisions in October that the government can continue to impose control orders on terror suspects in lieu of detention, but said that some elements of the orders issued under the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005 violate human rights.
[JURIST] The Iraqi government [official website, in Arabic] announced on Friday the drafting of a law that proposes a framework to safeguard Iraqi journalists. The proposed law [AFP report] would offer greater protection to staff journalists than to freelancers and would criminalize attacks against a journalist on the job. The bill details compensation that journalists would receive for injuries sustained on duty and that journalists' families would be entitled to if the journalist were killed on the job. The proposed bill addresses usage of anonymous sources and seeks to protect journalists from being forced to publish on subjects or opinions against their will. Despite the proposed rights and protections, the Iraqi-based Journalistic Freedoms Observatory [advocacy website, in Arabic] has decried the proposed law [Reuters report] as a threat that could erode journalists' freedom from governmental interference in regards to revealing sources or restricting material published that may benefit an undefined enemy of the state.Reporters Without Borders [advocacy website] has documented [RWB report] the dangers journalists have faced in Iraq, including the death of "225 journalists and media assistants since the start of the start of the fighting ... in March 2003." The Committee to Protect Journalists [advocacy website] has also documented [statistical profile] those dangers, and has determined that the most prevalent cause of death is murder, followed by crossfire or other acts of war. Iraq has been criticized in the past for restrictive media policies. Iraqi military spokesperson Major General Qassim Atta in April sought the closure [JURIST report] of the Bagdad offices of newspaper Al-Hayat and television network Al-Sharquiya [media websites, in Arabic] after the two media outlets allegedly misquoted him in a story.
[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit [official website] ruled [opinion, PDF] Friday that former Qwest Communications [corporate website] CEO Joseph Nacchio [JURIST news archive] was incorrectly sentenced to six years in prison due to flawed methodology. In sentencing Nacchio, who was convicted of insider trading [JURIST report], the trial court ruled that Nacchio had made approximately $28 million in net profits by selling stock based on information not available to the public. The district court imposed the six-year sentence based on federal sentencing guidelines [USSG § 2F1.1]. The appellate court found, however, that by ignoring the normal appreciation in the value of the stocks, Nacchio's illegal gains were overstated. The court held that "[b]ecause mere trading does not constitute criminal insider trading, it logically follows that any gain made from lawful trading should not be considered as gain used to increase a prison sentence." The appellate court did not specify how to calculate the illegal gain, only ruling that on remand, "the district court should focus on arriving at a figure that more closely approximates Mr. Nacchio's gain resulting from the offense of insider trading." (emphasis in original.) The appellate court also found that the district court incorrectly determined the amount of money Nacchio should forfeit and remanded that issue as well.In April, Nacchio reported to the minimum security prison camp [JURIST report] at FCI Schuylkill [official website], marking an end to nearly two years of appellate proceedings following his April 2007 conviction for illegally selling $52 million of Qwest stock in 2001. Nacchio's conviction was overturned [JURIST report] by a Tenth Circuit panel in March 2008 due to improperly excluded expert testimony, but was reinstated [opinion, PDF] in a February 2009 en banc rehearing requested [JURIST report] by the prosecution. Federal prosecutors indicted Nacchio in December 2005 on 42 counts of insider trading [JURIST report]. He and other former Qwest executives still face civil fraud charges [JURIST report] brought by the US Securities and Exchange Commission [official website] on allegations that Qwest improperly reported approximately $3 billion in revenue that eased its 2000 merger with US West.

As a leading organization in the field of business ethics for more than 40 years, the Olsson Center has produced a large body of distinguished research aimed at scholars, students and business leaders. Some of these resources are listed below:
Co-edited by Olsson Center Senior Fellow Jared Harris, this book explores business ethics through the philosophy of Immanuel Kant. Kantian Business Ethics features original essays by several distinguished scholars on the ethical dimensions of business using the Kantian-themed ethics of influential scholar Norman E. Bowie.
As one of the foundational figures in business ethics, Olsson Center Senior Fellow and University of Minnesota Carlson School of Business Professor Norman E. Bowie has argued that a Kantian moral personality is good for both employees and for business. German philosopher Immanuel Kant believed that moral requirements are based on a standard of rationality or as he coined it "Categorical Imperative."
Professor R. Edward Freeman contributes an essay in which he argues that Bowie's Kantian Capitalism concept is actually pragmatist in nature. The book also features essays by Olsson Center Senior Fellows Ronald F. Duska, Professor Emeritus at the American College and Darden Professor Emeritus Patricia H. Werhane.Read more

The classic Spanish potato tortilla is a signature dish in Spain, and a famous comfort food across the country. Ask anyone from Spain, and she will claim that her mother's tortilla is the tastiest. Served hot off the stove or cold, this egg and potato frittata is popular in tapas bars and homes from Bilbao to Barcelona.
This non-stick tortilla set makes it easy to prepare a perfect tortilla every time. A stainless clasp interlocks the two pans for easy flipping. The bottom pan is slightly wider, so the top pan fits securely. Turning the tortilla is the most difficult part of the recipe, and this clever design makes it easy.
Tortilla literally translates as "little cake" and in Spain this means a tasty savory combination of potatoes and eggs cooked in olive oil. You can add diced Serrano ham, chorizo, onions or other vegetables to add a more dynamic flavor. Spanish tortillas are totally different from the Mexican variety made of corn or flour.

Latest On Jurassic Park in 3D
Same old movie now in 3D but i happen to like it and the 3D enhances the experience
It was alright in 3D, but was not overly impressed.
Never saw this movie and neither did my child...think we will go!
Comparing it to the movies that I've seen in the last six months... Jurassic Park really stands out as an all time classic. Good action, colorful characters, solid dialogue and acting... interesting plot. Forgot how cute Laura Dern is... always loved Nedry... what a louse. Solid 3D...
If this was a desert.... it would be delicious. Even with out the milk to ******* down. I've seen it over 30 times & this was definitely goooooood!!

Georgia Tech picks up late signee to boost class
ATLANTA (AP) Georgia Tech received a late boost with the signing of running back Myles Autry.
Coach Paul Johnson said that Autry, whose brother Anthony is a receiver with the Yellow Jackets, is one of six newcomers who have a chance to fill a variety of roles in summer camp.
Georgia Tech signed 21 players to national letters of intent Wednesday - six offensive linemen, four defensive backs, three defensive ends, three linebackers, two running backs, two receivers and one quarterback.

With Kentucky three games behind Florida in the Southeastern Conference's East Division basketball race, coach John Calipari insists his Wildcats are playing for NCAA tournament seeding and not any league hardware.
That may sound like sour grapes, but Calipari clung to the same message last year when Kentucky blistered the SEC with a 14-2 league mark.
"John has obviously had a lot of success in the leagues he has been in, and he's also had a lot of success in the NCAA tournament," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "Whatever philosophy he has and whatever he is doing as a coach has worked really, really well for his teams, and whatever that philosophy he is getting across to his team is something he probably believes in strongly.
"For us, we're in the middle of a league race, and that's important right now. And we're not really talking about that as much as we are getting prepared to play LSU on Sunday."
Calipari guided Massachusetts to the 1996 Final Four and Memphis to the 2008 Final Four, although the NCAA has since vacated both of those appearances. His first Kentucky team won 35 games and reached last year's Elite Eight, where the Wildcats were bounced in an upset loss to West Virginia.
Both of his teams in Lexington have been overflowing with talented freshmen, but Calipari doesn't mind openly discussing March Madness one or even two months early. The Wildcats improved to 18-7 overall and 6-5 in the SEC with Tuesday night's 85-79 win over Mississippi State at Rupp Arena, where Kentucky is 30-0 under Calipari.
"Where our RPI and strength of schedule is, all we have to do is take care of business and we are fine," Calipari said. "When we were 5-5 in our league, we were number 14 in the RPI. Think about that."
Florida, Vanderbilt and Kentucky are the SEC's lone representatives in the Associated Press poll and the biggest league certainties for NCAA play. Yet while Calipari continues to discuss NCAA seeding, Donovan and Commodores coach Kevin Stallings are going elsewhere for motivation.
"John is right in that all of us are, in the grand scheme of things, trying to get the best seed that we can," Stallings said. "At the same time, the better seed you get in the conference tournament, the better it allows you to do in the conference tournament and also improves your opportunity to get a better seed for the NCAA tournament. Our biggest motivation is that next game, and you can't do anything more than trying to get ready to play the next game as well as you can."
Said Donovan: "When you start talking weeks down the road and you don't take care and prepare for today, I don't know if you're going to be prepared later on. What we've tried to do is just kind of go one game at a time and one day at a time in terms of what is in front of us right now and what do we need to get done today."
Stallings and Donovan said they have not discussed NCAA tournament seeding at all with their players this season.
"The last two times we've been a 4 seed, we've gotten beat in the first round," Stallings said. "The two times before that we were a 6 seed, and we got to the Sweet 16, so seeding might be overrated sometimes, too. All we can do is worry about the next game, and if you do a good enough job, you're probably going to get a pretty good seed."

South Korean pop star PSY (real name Park Jae-sang) is living it up Gangnam style these days, but just how much money has his ubiquitous Internet-launched single garnered for him?
VIDEO: PSY & MC Hammer Backstage at AMAs
The Associated Press estimates that through YouTube ads (the 34-year-old singer's Gangnam Style video is approaching 1 billion views), iTunes downloads and TV ad campaigns Team PSY stands to make at least $8.1 million this year.
According to the AP, YouTube views account for $870,000, downloads and CD sales account for $2.6 million and ads could be worth $4.6 million.
Ironically, the news source estimates that online music sales in his native country will earn him less than $60,000.

The devastating explosions that savagely murdered over 30 innocent human beings on Monday remind us that America's mission in Iraq is far from complete. Over the past months we have seen many such calculated yet cowardly acts of terrorism that typify our enemy's ideology. Whether secular or religious, it is a violent variant of the primitive but ever-present belief that might makes right. Those who act upon such brutal principles must be defeated by force, not seminars.
Yet we must remember that while this small minority of the population poses a real danger, our ultimate victory depends on the outcome of the struggle to refute and eradicate the political principles they espouse. The necessary conditions of freedom—e.g., a cessation of violence—should not be confused with the sufficient conditions of freedom. The majority of Iraqis, while rejoicing when their tyrannical rulers were deposed, have lived most—if not all—of their lives under despotic governments whose basis for rule was brute force. The sad reality is that many people of good will in the Middle East have no clear understanding or experience of the principles of liberty and equality upon which the structure of limited self-government stands.
As part of its continuing efforts to respond to these challenges and promote the blessings of self-government around the world, the Claremont Institute is proud to announce the release of a new book, From Bullets to Ballots by John Zvesper. As we seek to help the people of Afghanistan and Iraq govern themselves by means of the right of the ballot rather than the might of the bullet, the lessons of From Bullets to Ballots could not be more timely or essential. While this book doubtless will inform many American readers, its primary audience is advocates of liberal democracy in the developing democracies abroad.
A graduate of Claremont McKenna College, with a doctorate from Cambridge University, Zvesper was for many years Lecturer in Politics at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, England, and also taught at the University of London. He is author of the critically acclaimed Political Philosophy and Rhetoric: A Study of the Origins of America in Party Politics and Nature and Liberty. From Bullets to Ballots has garnered praise from American scholars such as Lance Banning, foreign academics, and human rights activists.
America has been able to determine its political future, with the towering exception of the Civil War, via elections whose results are respected—by the victors with restraint and by the losers with unquestioned deference to the decision of the people. The historic election of 1800, the first peaceful transition of power from one political party to its opposition, marked not only America's success on this question of principle but also the standard for all democratic elections in the future.
We must pass on these enduring principles of American government if the peaceful transition to just and free regimes is to successfully take place in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world. Zvesper's book explains how the early American republic did this, and how other nations might follow.
From Bullets to Ballots, is available free of charge to citizens of emerging democratic regimes. It will soon be available in downloadable a PDF file at www.claremont.org. Please contact Matt Peterson, or Penny McWhorter at (909) 621-6825 for more details.

Sec. 1.3. Wards.

The change marks a victory for the group Asheville City Chickens, which says that the ability to raise chickens in the city fosters home-grown, sustainable food.
The new language allows chickens within 10 feet of property lines (down from 100 feet) or 50 feet from the nearest residence but also requires that coops and runs be well kept and fully enclosed. The language forbids roosters.
Also, the new law allows the city to charge a license fee for raising chickens and to inspect coops on an as-needed basis.
Council asked city staff to re-examine a rule banning the tethering of dogs. The staff's recommendation would ban the chaining of dogs, but would allow a T-runner, a move opposed by some anti-tether activists. Staff is expected to report back to Council on the matter in 30 to 60 days.
For more coverage of the meeting, see the May 6 issue of Xpress.

Subpoena against Vos, others withdrawn
Madison -- Group suing the state have withdrawn subpoenas against Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and other state officials and instead will ask a federal court to order the Legislature to allow them to forensically examine state computers.
The deal to drop the subpoenas was reached in recent days, according to an attorney for one of the groups and an aide to Vos.
The subpoenas were filed Friday against Vos, a Rochester Republican, and others as the groups sought to discover whether additional documents were withheld that should have been turned over in a lawsuit over new election maps Republicans approved in 2011.
A special panel of federal judges last year made changes to two Assembly districts but left other legislative and congressional districts in place. After their ruling, the plaintiffs found not all documents had been turned over in the case and are seeking to find out if others were improperly withheld.
The groups will file a motion with the court Friday seeking to examine three state computers used to draw the maps.

Feds? Look out Voss,Priebus,Walker,Fitz...
Vos is the poster child for dishonesty, and corruption. No one should ever trust this crook.
I hope there is a legitimate reason for this and we aren't just going to get the run around again. These right wing extremists have nearly destroyed our wonderful State. They should have all been held accountable from the beginning.
