Abstract Bulgaria's Delayed Transition: An Analysis of the Delays in Bulgaria's Political and Economic Transition from Socialism to Liberal Democracy by Robert Castle Adviser: Professor Susan L. Woodward Bulgaria's transitional pathway from socialism to free market liberal democracy has been extremely troubled and hesitant, with the European Union only satisfied that the country had created a functioning market economy in November 2003. Freedom House considered Bulgaria as a parliamentary democracy from 1991, but as a mixed statist-transitional economy until 1998. What accounts for the various delays, obstacles, and setbacks the country has faced since 1989? I argue that for the period 1989 to 1997, there was a lack of consensus among the Bulgarian public and elites on the pace and extent of political and economic reforms. This lack of consensus explains the delayed, inconsistent, and incomplete consolidation of democracy and a free market economy, as it permitted successive governments to avoid tough and unpopular policy decisions, at national, regional, and local levels, and ensured that those reforms that were undertaken were poorly and incompletely implemented. Lack of consensus allowed parliament to draft and approve poorly written legislation full of ambiguities and loopholes, while local politicians and government officials found it politically, ideologically, or economically expedient to delay and otherwise hinder the reform process. This dissertation shows how the lack of consensus is a result of the way Bulgarians experienced the latter years of socialism economically, politically, and socially. The social pact between rulers and ruled remained intact in Bulgaria through the end of communist authoritarianism, and had brought considerable economic, social and cultural development to the country. As a result, the population was not prepared for the inevitable pain of the structural economic and political changes necessitated by the transition to a free market liberal democracy. Focusing on the role of consensus adds a further layer of complexity to the study of transitions, and through the dual case study of Bulgaria and the Rousse region, this study highlights the points of convergence among a range of theoretical approaches, opening the door for greater pooling of knowledge and research findings in future.
The Tea Party movement has been a keyword in American politics since its inception in 2009. Widely regarded as having helped the Republican Party to engineer a comeback during the elections of 2010, the Tea Party movement offered the American public a Republican agenda that was distinguishable from the Bush era by limiting its talking points to issues such as fiscal discipline and budget deficit. However, fact that the image of Republicans changed because of the Tea Party presence and the Republican focus on fiscal issues leaves whether the Republican agenda as influenced by Tea Partiers changed much in substance from the Bush era a very open question. In this regard, I argue in this paper that the Tea Party movement should be seen as a modern incarnation of the recurrent streak of nativism in the United States, whose early forms included the Anti-Masonic movement, the "Know-Nothing" ("American") Party of 1856, and was succeeded by modern political movements such as the second Ku Klux Klan, the John Birch Society, "the religious right" of the late 20th Century and the Tea Party movement. The Tea Party movement's nature as a modern incarnation of nativism would be made clear in a number of traits shown by the movement and its supporters, including their tendency to view themselves as the true "Americans" while viewing the opposition as those conspiring against the United States. This trait, as will be observed, will result in the Tea Party movement possessing a rigid, dogmatic nature that made it incapable of making a compromise. The Tea Party movement would have develop an embittered relationship with the Republican leadership largely due to its unwillingness to compromise even with its own camp. This tension would heighten during the Republican primaries in 2010 and 2012, when Tea Party favorites such as Mike Lee, Joe Miller and Christine O'Donnell defeating the more established Republican figures, and culminate during the primaries of 2013 when business interests funded establishment figure Bradley Byrne over Tea Party favorite Dean Young, and Tea Party-backed Ken Cuccinelli lost the Virginia gubernatorial election to Democrat Terry McAuliffe after having been badly outfunded by McAuliffe throughout the campaign. Conservative business organizations such as the United States Chamber of Commerce heavily contributed to Byrne's campaign, reflecting the business interests' souring relationship with the Tea Party movement. The setbacks in 2013 notwithstanding, Tea Party favorite Dave Brat's upset victory over House Majority leader Eric Cantor led to speculation that the Tea Party movement was, after all, on a comeback trail. In this paper, I specifically argue against such a position given the facts that 1) Brat's victory will likely do little to alter the American public's perception of the Tea Party movement, which has been consistently highly unfavorable, 2) Nor is Brat's victory, which took place in a Republican primary in a solidly conservative district, likely to change the big picture in national or even statewide context, and 3) it is doubtful if Cantor's defeat does much to change the business interests' contribution to the Republican candidates running against a Tea Party candidate in primaries (in any event, Cantor's defeat would make businesses more vigilant in countering Tea Party insurgencies), and 4) the changing demographics in the United States indicates that nativist politics as practiced by the Tea Party movement will have less appeal in the United States as a whole as time progresses. In conclusion, I will argue that the Tea Party movement's nature as a modern incarnation of nativism, while having made it a powerful movement within a short period of time, has made it largely incapable reaching a compromise with not just the opposition but also the Republicans, thereby convincing established figures within the Republican Party that it was more of a liability than an asset for the Republicans as a whole.
This is a study of how decision - makers in dependent states perceive their environment, and formulate policies and specific decisions to suit. My research focuses on Grenada, one of the smallest states, which experienced a socialist revolution between 1979 and 1983. Foreign policy decisions were made at the time within a very constrained (Cold War) international environment. I propose to analyze the Grenada experience in foreign policy decision-making, focusing primarily on two key variables: the role of perception and the constraints posed by dependence. Dependence is usually viewed as a relation between core and periphery states. I posit that dependence between two `southern' states is also possible. In this context, Grenada, during the period of its revolution, exchanged dependence on the United States for dependence on Cuba. Therefore, among other things, I am interested in determining if, and how Grenada elites were influenced in their decision-making by this type of periphery-periphery dependence. In terms of perception, I am interested in ascertaining how Grenadian decision-makers came to form a negative perception of the United States and positive perceptions of Cuba, and therefore framed their decisions in a particular way.
There remains a widespread perception among both the public and elements of academia that the Internet is "ungovernable". However, this idea, as well as the notion that the Internet has become some type of cyber-libertarian utopia, is wholly inaccurate. Governments may certainly encounter tremendous difficulty in attempting to regulate the Internet, but numerous "architectures of control" have nevertheless become pervasive. So who, then, governs the Internet? Our contentions are that the Internet is, in fact, being governed; that it is being governed by specific and identifiable networks of policy actors; and that an argument can be made as to how it is being governed. This project will develop a new conceptual framework for analysis that deconstructs the Internet into four policy "layers" with the aim of formulating a new political architecture that accurately maps out and depicts authority on the Internet by identifying who has demonstrable policymaking authority that constrains or enables behavior with intentional effects. We will then assess this four-layer model and its resulting map of political architecture by performing a detailed case study of U.S. national cybersecurity policy, post-9/11. Ultimately, we will seek to determine the consequences of these political arrangements and governance policies.
The overarching goals of political communication rarely change, yet political communication strategies and activities have evolved a great deal over the course of American history. The changes in political communication have been abrupt, occurring during three periods that I identify as Political Communication Revolutions (PCR). A PCR disrupts long, relatively stable periods that I call Political Communication Orders (PCO). Each of the three successful PCRs in American political history followed similar revolutionary cycles, which suggests that revolutions in political communication take place through a recurring process. I identify this recurring process as the PCR Cycle, which begins when successful new ICTs diffuse rapidly into American homes. It is at this point that political actors must choose if they want to utilize these new tools to innovate their political communication activities. The PCR Cycle can be used to explain repeated patterns in why major political communication change occurs, compare changes occurring throughout history, link ongoing changes during the current revolutionary period, and provide a stable theoretical structure upon which ongoing research on the intersection of the Internet and politics can be rooted. Through historical research of campaign innovation, and original analysis of 2010 senate campaign websites, I find that those political actors with more resources, those who are positioned as political challengers, and those involved in competitive political contests are more likely to innovate earlier than others. The current PCR is unique in that the interactivity of the Internet dramatically expands the number of people able to create as well as consume political information, producing the potential for a decentralizing and democratizing effect on American politics. My study concludes by evaluating the extent to which this decentralization is taking place, primarily through an original web survey of politically active Internet users. I find that the Internet is decentralizing political communication especially in terms of forwarding information and reading and watching political news, but that a very small number of political actors still dominate the generation of new political information. This research should contribute to literature in political communication, the emerging intersection of information technology and politics, and American political development.
This dissertation evaluates the political history of Islam through the prism of the Sunni conception of authority. It finds an historical red thread that explains the legal and political evolution of different types of Islamic government that have, instead of a European-type sovereign, the Ulu Al Amr (those in authority). In addition, it argues that it is the authority of Ulu Al Amr that legitimizes temporal power via legal rulings such as Wilayah al ahed (allegiance to a dynastic monarchy) and Wlayah al qaher (obedience to coercive power and rule). Those rulings are essential to legitimating historical change. Historical legal opinions among Muslim scholars hold that the members of the Ulu Al Amr are the Ulama--those with knowledge, the learned, religious scholars with temporal power. This dissertation claims that contrary to the legal standards that changed historically in Fiqh al siyash al sharia (the branch Islamic jurisprudence that addresses political issues), it is the Ulama who were the Ulu Al Amr. It is Ulu Al Amr they and only they who decide on the exception through Ijma (consensus or agreement of the community, a source of Islamic law). This view of Ulu Al Amr is most consistent with the Sunni conception of authority that legitimates the force of temporal power. Finally, this dissertation argues that the historical evolution of the concept of authority and the legal role of Ulu Al Amr are an outcome of political struggles and demands between the Ulu Al Amr (qua temporal power) and Muslim subjects rather than a set of legal codes frozen in time and space.
The overall success of the European Union (EU) in making Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) comply with its conditions for membership has led some scholars and policy makers to consider the EU the principal driver of political reforms in post-socialist countries that have applied for membership. Similarly, the Economic Monetary Union (EMU) is often causally associated with the process of political and economic reforms that took place in Western Europe in the 1990s. Nonetheless, despite the academic enthusiasm and the political rhetoric, the causal impact of the EU on the process of institutional reforms in the Eastern and Western has not been established. Furthermore, empirical evidence suggests that formal institutional change, namely EU-pushed legislated reforms, are not always supported by behavioral change and tend to be either contested or ignored in the implementation phase. These empirical results raise very interesting questions about the process of Europeanization and about the more general question of real, as opposed to formal only, institutional change in a context in which the demand for change is coming from the outside. This thesis aims to answer two such questions: first, how and to what extent has the EU causally influenced domestic institutional change in Hungary and Italy; second, whether institutional change pushed by the EU has been real, that is, resulted in long-lasting changes in the political behavior of domestic actors. This thesis focuses on two aspects of administrative reforms, the depoliticization of the senior civil service and the devolution of politica power from the center to the periphery. In general, the EU has no formal competence over member states' public administrations. However, in its criteria for membership, the EU has required the eastern candidate countries to develop administrative structures necessary for the adoption and implementation of EU laws. Quite differently, in Western Europe, EMU did not explicitly call for the reform of national public administrations. Nonetheless, as the Maastricht convergence criteria focused on fiscal and economic reforms, Italian decision makers considered the reform of national public administrations crucial to reduce government spending and balance the fiscal budget.
Regional integration agreements (RIAs) facilitate economic integration by allowing member countries access to each other's markets and by removing or reducing trade and investment barriers. Their increasing influence on international patterns of trade and investment flows has stimulated substantial academic work. Yet, scholars note that we lack an adequate comprehension of the factors that cause governments to seek RIAs, and why they prefer a particular type of integration arrangement. These are important questions because they speak to the forces that shape cooperation among states, a vital issue in international relations with implications for global governance. Using an eclectic analytical approach, this investigation tackles those questions by focusing on the relative role of governmental leaders, ideas, national interests, and economic development strategies. It does so via a comparative study of the foreign policy processes and decisions that led Mexico and Brazil to seek economic integration with neighbors within their respective North and South American regions, which resulted in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between Mexico, the United States and Canada, and the Common Market of the South (Mercosur) between Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. In-depth case studies of Mexico and Brazil are followed by a comparative analysis of similarities and differences in their respective processes and decisions. The main conclusion confirms the importance of powerful decisionmakers within the executive as pivotal political actors whose preferences are critical in determining regional integration outcomes. Leaders choose the economic development strategy that establishes how they want to configure the country's relations with the world economy, which is a major factor influencing regional integration decisions. In turn, the interpretation of core national interests by top decisionmakers is an important variable shaping the choice of development strategy. Finally, leading policymakers' political and economic ideas represent a crucial intervening factor because they provide the lens through which national interests are interpreted, economic strategies are chosen, and specific integration policies are decided upon. The study was conceived as an empirical political investigation. It relies on data collected in Mexico and Brazil via interviews with local analysts and observers and relevant political and economic actors, and through archival research.
Abstract WHY YOUTH VOTE by Bobbi Gentry Adviser: Professor Charles Tien This dissertation focuses on the development of political identity rather than treating identity as a given. Identity is a way for us to define who we are. In relation to voting behavior, knowing who we are politically, I argue, increases participation. For youth, finding a political identity is no longer aided by simply adopting party identification, but has many different environmental influences most importantly the role of political leaders in shaping one's identity. Inspirational leaders encourage youth participation in a number of ways. Some youth, they have not yet developed a political identity and default to saying they are Independents. For others, being an Independent is a conscious identity but may not be represented in the political environment of candidate choices. Both cases of being an Independent decrease youth turnout. I examine political identity, inspirational leadership and political independence by looking at the American National Election Study (ANES) data, and conducting my own in-depth interviews.
The dissertation discusses contemporary theories of democracy in the light of the concept of silence. It questions the dichotomous thinking of speech and silence in political theory and challenges the conventional view of silence as the loss of communication. Looking at silence as consent, as refusal or protest, and as disengagement, all of which intersect at various contexts, the dissertation engages in a dialogue with deliberative and agonistic democrats on the meaning and complexity of political action and democratic practice. It analyzes the ways in which silence is framed politically, particularly in women's silent protests of state-inflicted violence in Turkey and around the world. The construction of gendered responses to the militarization of everyday life reveals subaltern women's significant contribution to building a more just society through unconventional acts of democratic engagement. In Western political thought, democratic self-expression has predominantly been associated with the speaking subject. An uncritical association between speech, freedom and democratization risks ignoring the regulative and exclusionary functions of speech and relegates silence to the outside of communication. Two politically relevant and theoretically significant lines of inquiry are developed from this argument. First, it is shown that silence is neither an antithesis of nor an alternative to speech but a useful concept showing the multifaceted workings of power in any political action or democratic opening. Secondly, women's presence in public spaces overturns the traditional association of the feminine with compliance and passivity. The dissertation involves the coupling of this theoretical engagement with an empirical analysis of the Saturday Vigils - silent vigils held by the parents of the disappeared-under-arrest in Turkey since 1995 - and concludes that the vigils open up a serious democratic space in contentious practice and contributes to Turkey's political liberalization. Moreover they set an example to collective action framed in silence that has wider implications for feminist democratic theory and political theory in general.

The Micro-Epsilon gapCONTROL Setup Software 2.0 is a new tool for simplifying the set up, configuration and measurement value analyses of the gapCONTROL laser profile scanner, a sensor developed specifically for gap measurement tasks.
At the world leading "Aluminium 2014" trade fair in Düsseldorf (Germany), Micro-Epsilon will present a measurement system that detects the thickness of metal sheet processed in a hot rolling mill, regardless of the alloy.
6 cylinders, 4 racing teams and 1 world champion title – the past Formula 1 season turned out to be very successful for Renault. Micro-Epsilon supplies the French car giant with sensors for engine development and was invited to Paris in order to celebrate the success.
Two new sensor models have been added to the product range of laser profile scanners for gap measurements: gapCONTROL 2611 and 2911 have compact designs and extended functionality.
The Bavarian sensor specialist Micro-Epsilon celebrates its 45th anniversary. Since it was established in 1968, a three-man operation has become a global group of companies that develops and produces high-precision sensors and measurement systems.
Whether a lab PC or company laptop – even computers without the RS422 industrial interface can now evaluate readings from laser and confocal sensors from Micro-Epsilon. A 4-channel RS422/USB converter ...
With its cut-off frequency of 100,000Hz, the optoNCDT 1630 laser sensor from Micro-Epsilon is one of the fastest on the market. The new displacement sensor is a particularly good choice for vibration measurements, crash tests and inspection systems for vibrating components.
At this year's International Trade Fair for Plastics and Rubber "K" in Düsseldorf Micro-Epsilon presents various measurement solutions for the plastics industry.
The idiamCONTROL permits precise planning of the maintenance intervals or replacement intervals of the individual extruder housing parts.
For the continuous colour control in the production line a colour measurement system has been developed by Micro-Epsilon. The new system does not only recognise the saved colours according to the yes-no-principle but also determines the exact colour of the components spectrophotometrically. With a precision that exceeds the human eye, and a measuring rate of 2000 Hz the system is variously used in the plastics industry.

Fund His Next Documentary And Win David Lynch's Self-Portrait
Tuesday, July 13 by
I can kind of see it around the eyes.You may listen to the Lost Highway soundtrack on repeat or enjoy Mulholland Drive for reasons beyond Naomi Watts's chest, but you're not a true fan of David Lynch until you have his face printed on your stylish tote bag. And Lynch is giving you the opportunity to do just that. Anyone who donates $50 to the production of his upcoming documentary Lynch Three, can win a limited-edition print of the director's self-portrait on a poster, tote bag, or T-shirt.Onto the self-portrait itself. I'm a little disappointed by it. I know that art is subjective and Lynch has proven himself time and time again in the creative world, but it looks like it belongs on Regretsy. Why isn't this sculpted out of steak, or printed on dead skin? At least tell me the pen he used to draw it was involved in a stabbing. Give me something here. (via Cinema Blend)
Comic-Con Organizers Think Boobs Are Gross, Drop 'Piranha 3D' From Lineup
Tuesday, July 13 by
Stop staring at my chest!Comic-Con attendees hoping to see a topless woman for the first time are in for a real let down. Event organizers have rejected footage from the film Piranha 3D because there were too many boob shots, according to Comic-Con's PR director, David Glanzer. "My understanding is that the footage wasn't all ages appropriate," Glanzer told HitFix. "We don't check ID to get into those meeting rooms, so we don't want something inappropriate." That's all fine and good, but answer me this: at what age is it "appropriate" to sit in on a panel discussion titled A Leap Of Faith, A "Quantum Leap" Retrospective, or Kiss Them or Kill Them? Conflict Management for the Creatures Among Us? Clearly, half the crap at Comic-Con is inappropriate for people of all ages. Why pick on Piranha 3D? (Dread Central)
Haley Joel Osment Wants to 'Lay It Forward' (a.k.a. 'The Sex Sense')

But through a series of wacky misadventures (crippling budget cuts), Osment's character ends up teaching a sex ed class. The only catch is that he's a virgin. Those who can't do, teach.The film was written by Billy Kennedy and will be directed by Isaac Feder. It will be viewed by me and maybe Haley Joel Osment's mom, if she's not out spending that Sixth Sense money. (Empire Online)
Robocop Joins the Cast of 'Dexter'
Tuesday, July 13 by
Dexter Morgan is an unstoppable killing machine. And what better way to fight an unstoppable killing machine than with America's favorite insatiable law-and-order cyborg? No, not Vincent D'Onofrio.Peter Weller, the star of the classic 80's sci-fi film Robocop has joined the cast of "Dexter: Season 5." According to Dread Central, he will appear in eight episodes, and will play a "troubled" Miami Metro police officer, as if there's any other kind.While there's no mention of the character of Robocop, I'd be surprised if they didn't use him in some capacity. The show never came right out and said that John Lithgow was supposed to be the character of Dr. Dick Solomon from "3rd Rock from the Sun." But once he dropped the C-Bomb at Thanksgiving dinner, everyone knew it was him.

'NTSF: SD: SUV' Preview Will Explode Your Brain
Monday, July 12 by
What? No snarky Goth?? They may have reneged on "Weird Al" but it looks like The Cartoon Network is still very much in the spoof business. Last night, during an episode of "Children's Hospital," a preview of the upcoming action series "National Terrorism Strike Force: San Diego: Sports Utility Vehicle." Or "NTSF: SD: SUV" for short(er). The action series stars Paul Scheer as a Jack Bauer/David Caruso hybrid, and Rob Riggle as a general/terrorist or something. I think what we should all focus on here is the fact that the team employs a rocket launcher-touting chef. Not enough shows have that. Check out the preview after the jump….

Roman Polanski Is A Free Man
Monday, July 12 by
Check out "Cool Dad."Phew! Looks like we'll get a sequel to The Ghost Writer afterall. That was a close one. Government officials in Switzerland have decided to free Roman Polanski after seven months of house arrest. The Swiss had planned to expedite the famed director to the U.S. where he would serve a prison sentence for drugging and raping a 13-year old girl in 1977, but have now declined to do so because of a fault in America's application for his extradition.Great. Way to drop the ball, guys. There's no way he's going to fall for the whole we want to give you a lifetime achievement award again. Now our only option for capturing him is to dress Dog the Bounty Hunter as a schoolgirl, and drop him in the Alps. It's a crazy plan, but right crazy is the best hope we've got. (NY Times)
'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' to Bring Cripple Action/Comedy to the Forefront
Monday, July 12 by
Paramount has snatched up an untitled pitch that turns Victor Hugo's classic "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" into an action/comedy. The novel, published in 1831, "is set in the 15th century and centers on the tragic romance between Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer of the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, and the gypsy woman Esmeralda."Disney already brought cripples to children's attention with the animated version of The Hunchback in 1996. Not only did Quasi land the girl, but he had a voice like a nightingale. In an action/comedy take, the pairing of "deformed bell-ringer and gypsy" will be the new "criminal disguised as cop and cop in need of making a big case." They should just remake Blue Streak instead. It's been eleven years already. (Variety)

I believe the first part.Michael Bay is delivering his wrath upon Chi-Town. The Chicago Tribune put together an extensive gallery of pics from the set of Transformers 3, which is currently filming around LaSalle Street in downtown Chicago. The term "Windy City" gets a whole new meaning as natural gusts are replaced with violent releases of pressure from the many explosions Bay will set off around the area. Some are for the movie, others are just for shits and giggles.Check out video and more pics from the set after the jump…
David Gordon Green's 'Barefoot Bandit' Now Has A Third Act
Monday, July 12 by
When David Gordon Green picked up the rights to Taking Flight: The Hunt For A Young Outlaw, it was uncertain how the story would end. As of today, we have that resolution. After a three year manhunt, Colton Harris-Moore was finally captured by police in the Bahamas after stealing a plane, crashing it, leading authorites on a high-speed boat chase, before engaging them in a shoot out. How metal is this kid? I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow escaped by switching faces with a federal agent.No word yet on who will play Harris-Moore aka The Barefoot Bandit aka The Shoeless Asshole in Green's adaptation, but we'll keep you posted when Danny McBride, Adam Scott, Aziz Ansari, James Franco, Will Ferrell, and Nicolas Cage inevitably join the cast.

Epilogue - Thrust and TwirlThe pencil slides in and out of her hot, wet, ear canal.The next day the erotic exchange continued the minute Dari entered the classroom. Miss Tokyomama sat at her desk, talking distractedly about chemistry, her eyes locked with Dari's. She picked up a pencil and sharpened in slowly, licking her lips as she did so. Then, with a gentle thrusting motion, she pushed it into her ear canal searching out tenacious wax deposits. In and out the pencil slid, thrust and twirl, the eraser widened her ear canal as it pumped like a number two oil derrick.
Dari couldn't take it anymore, a fountain of semen burst forth from his groin like a Biblical flood with such force that it pinned his desk to the ceiling. Blood sprayed from his nose, joining the torrent and coating the ceiling in a mixture so vile that only the Japanese could find it erotic.
"Mr. Armostrongo!" cried Miss Tokyomama with mock outrage, "you will have to stay after school today for a private conference!"

Editor's Notes: The new press war
Yediot booth 370.
(photo credit:Courtesy: Susie Weiss)
Forget about Iran's nukes and Hamas's rockets! Instead of spotlighting the
existential threats posed by Israel's external enemies, the local media are
firing salvoes at each other.In one corner are the daily tabloid
Ma'ariv, and Channel 10 television, which are both fighting possible closure,
and in the other, the left-leaning Haaretz and TheMarker (both owned by the
Schocken family), also seeking to stay afloat in the drowning world of print
journalism.Ma'ariv, the third-largest newspaper in Israel after Israel
HaYom (the freebie owned by US businessman Sheldon Adelson) and Yediot Aharonot
(owned by the Mozes family), announced on Sunday that it planned to halt its
daily print edition and continue only with Internet news. The announcement was
made by the financially strapped IDB Holding Corp., owned by Nochi Danker, who
also has the controlling shares in Ma'ariv.The first shot in the new
media war was fired on Sunday by TheMarker's Eytan Avriel, in an op-ed titled,
"Everything you need to know about the Ma'ariv crisis and didn't know who to
ask."Here are excerpts from the article, which cleverly hides a highly
opinionated article in an apparently neutral question- and-answer format: How
did Ma'ariv get into enough trouble to bring it to the brink of closure?Ma'ariv's financial situation has been going downhill for many years, and
accumulated losses on its balance sheet have now reached NIS 1 billion. Unlike
Yediot Aharonot, Ma'ariv wasn't particularly profitable even as far back as the
late 1990s. Over the past decade it suffered heavy losses under Ofer Nimrodi's
poor management and due to not claiming any particularly substantial niche in
the news industry.What brought on Ma'ariv's severe decline over the past
few months? Perhaps it was Israel HaYom's appearance on the scene? In fact, it
wasn't due to anything in particular. Ma'ariv already began suffering annual
operating losses of NIS 70 million to NIS 100m. five years ago. Well before
Israel HaYom became the leading player in the newspaper market, Ma'ariv was
already operating without a solid business model, dependent on fund-raising and
loans for its survival.Didn't Nochi Dankner, chairman of IDB, understand
this when he bought it in June of last year? Dankner wasn't interested in the
paper's business model. He just wanted to buy power and influence. His implicit
influence over Yediot Aharonot – from the advertising budgets of IDB Holding
Corp. companies – apparently didn't satisfy him. He wanted the entire economy,
especially the regulators, government and press, to know he owns a newspaper and
can thereby influence their fate.Perhaps he also believed what he read
in the media about himself and his managerial talents, thinking he could make
something of Ma'ariv where Nimrodi and others had failed.Ma'ariv's Ben
Caspit fired back at Haaretz in an article on Monday titled, "The prosecutor,
judge and hangman.""So long as Haaretz continues its attempt to destroy
media in Israel to save itself, it is losing its own right of existence," Caspit
wrote in the underline.Here are excerpts from his piece.At
Haaretz, they say that Ma'ariv mustn't be saved. They have been saying this for
some time. They say it in the air, at sea and on land, 24 hours a day, 365 days
a year.Today I went over some of the articles in Haaretz about Ma'ariv,
and the penny suddenly dropped. If Haaretz were to give Ma'ariv the amount of
paper it is using to bring down Ma'ariv, we would have been rescued some time
ago. But our friends in Haaretz have no desire to save Ma'ariv. Their goal is
quite the opposite.They want to kill Ma'ariv and they are investing all
their energies to make this happen.It is an orchestrated, evil, bullyish
and charlatanic campaign by one newspaper in Israel to cause the closure of
another newspaper.There are those who maintain that Haaretz is not even
an Israeli newspaper, but I am not one of them. I want Haaretz to continue to
exist. Even though the newspaper sometimes causes Israel heavy damage (Haaretz
has an Internet site in English that contains essential reading for any
anti-Israel delegitimization campaign). Even though you ask yourself many times
whether Haaretz has lost its faith in the Zionist dream and the idea of a Jewish
state.Still, Haaretz is an important newspaper with gifted and talented
journalists, and it would be a disaster for democracy, for freedom of expression
and for the media and our society if it closed. I don't want Israel without
Haaretz. I ask myself why Haaretz wants Israel without Ma'ariv? Amid the crisis
facing the Israeli media today, Caspit cites a column last week by Haaretz's Ari
Shavit, arguing that what is needed now is for the local media to band together
in the struggle to stay alive. Israel has become well-known for its varied, thriving and
boisterous media. For the sake of their future and the country's, they might
consider calling a truce in their internal war, and concentrate instead on
addressing the really pressing problems confronting us.

This was our first visit to Marrakech and we were very happy with Riad Viva. I was travelling with my Mother and Aunty on a 3-day "girl's trip". Our first impressions arriving at 10pm were not great as it's down an dark alley off the main street, but our wonderful porter Hamza lead us to the little oasis that is Riad Viva. Check in was a bit slow after a long flight and they do not have a restaurant, so be prepared to head out again or have something to eat at the airport if you are arriving late. Thank goodness Hamza was still around to help us find Jemaa el Fina and importantly a bank to get some local money. Hamza ended up being a wealth of information, good English and someone you want to run into on the way home from a busy day in the souks or sightseeing. Breakfast each morning was lovely on the terrace, the room (Rose Suite) was spacious, clean with a stunning Morocaan bathroom. We had dinner on the terrace one night which was well worth the money after a long day out. All the girls on reception and in the kitchen were lovely: Aziza, Khamisa, Hassamia and Fatiha ... they all work so hard. The Hamman/massage staff do not speak a word of English .... ask the reception staff to translate anything you may need translated before you're in your underwear sitting on a marble bench. I would definitely stay here again, it was nice to escape the chaos of Marrakech each day. The pool was gorgeous and the riad is only one year old, so nice and clean and everything works!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- In Riad Viva, you can feel the atmosphere of a small royal palace, where tradition and modern style meet together. Build in a typical Moroccan style and decorated with fine handcraft, you will enjoy the luxurious comfort of spacious and bright rooms as well as the nice terracce with pool and lounge.The access to the Riad is directly near the private palace of king Mohammed VI and from the big terrace you experience the direct view into the large park of the world-famous five stars hotel Mamounia. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Hotels.com, Travelocity, Priceline, TripOnline SA, Despegar.com, Odigeo and Tingo so you can book your Riad Viva reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

Give all the people what they want (safely)
Face it. Modern workers are addicted to mobile devices. Not just any vanilla corporate-issued devices, but our carefully selected and personalized expressions of ourselves: iPads®, iPhones®, Androids™ and whatever-comes-next. Many of us get to use our devices in the office. According to Gartner, "IT leaders have a positive view of BYOD"1, implying that this is now a mainstream model. In supporting employee devices, companies tend to exert either very little control, or a stifling amount of control. The approach taken depends on which community has the upper hand: the employees or IT.

For the past several months I've been deeply immersed in an exciting project. Felicia Lo, of SweetGeorgia Yarns and I have collaborated together to publish a book! Inspired by the idea of the Tempest. Rainstorms. Tides rise and fall. Waves ebb and flow. Storms rage and we seek refuge from the wild and fierce Tempest. These design embody both the shelter and the storm. Tempest is a beautifully photographed, 84-page book including 11 patterns along with photo tutorials and tips to make hand knits that will be cherished. Online sales will begin next week.

I love how short rows can create undulating lines when worked in stripes; it's fun to design using short rows. I have a blanket pattern in the spring issue of Knit Simple that makes great use out of short rows. The Short Rows Stripes Blanket is worked in six analagous colours in light and dark tones with a seventh contrasting colour that pops. While there are a lot of colours, only one colour is used at a time. Bonus, while working the applied i-cord edging it's really easy to hide all the ends inside the i-cord read more
Sixth and Spring books and Cascade Yarns published another book in their series of 60 Quick books last month, called 60 Quick Luxury Knits. I have a design in it! The Mock Cable Scarf creates the visual illusion that there is a cable running up its length. Instead it's worked in a carefully planned juxtaposition of yarnovers, decreases and ribbing to produce the gracefully arcing lines. It calls for Venezia Worsted, which is a wool silk blend that was lovely to work with. It felt soft and silk always accepts colour so well. read more
I love, love, love, L♥VE my new website! It's a project I've been working quietly on for some time with my amazing web designer, Julie Matthews and her team at Julie & Co.

The Cable Rib Hat & Wristers in the Zealana Rimu DK booket feature an interesting cable stitch I developed on my own since I couldn't find anything like it in my stitch dictionaries. It has a tricky maneuver that I haven't seen in a pattern so here's the tutorial. You need two cable needles to accomplish the cable crossing. While a little fiddly, it's so worth it and there's only two rows of cable crossing on the Cable Rib Hat and Wristers in the Zealana booklet. First, the definition of the cable crossing read more
It's still a great thrill to find my pattern between the pages of Vogue Knitting. I'm actually still waiting for my contributor's copy of the magazine but there are already a few finished projects on Ravelry. My design is the slouchy hat in the Yoga story. Photos © SoHo Publishing I alternated bands of fisherman's rib with twisted rib. The Fisherman's rib looks particularly great when the hat is stretched a bit on the head because the ribbing opens up and contrasts even more with the tighter twisted rib. For me it evokes the read more

Visit a Web page containing an embedded MP3 file and locate the audio control bar on the website. When opening a direct MP3 link, the control bar appears in the center of an otherwise blank page.
How to Download Streaming Music MP3s With Firefox
When you visit a website containing an embedded MP3 or click a link directly to an MP3 file in Firefox, the browser streams the audio. This allows you to hear the song without waiting for the entire file to download, but it doesn't save the MP3 to your computer for later playback. You can manually download an individual MP3 while streaming it or disable Firefox's playback tool entirely to force a download prompt every time you click an MP3 link.
Download a Single MP3
Right-click the control bar and pick "Save Audio As..."
Enter a name for the MP3 file and choose a location on your computer. Press "Save" to download the song.
Always Prompt to Download MP3s
Enter "about:config" (without quotes) in Firefox's address bar. If a warning page appears, click "I'll be careful, I promise!"
Paste or type "media.directshow.enabled" (without quotes) into the search bar at the top of the page -- not the Firefox search bar used to search the Web.
Double-click on the "media.directshow.enabled" preference in the search results to toggle it to "False."
Search for the preference "media.windows-media-foundation.play-stand-alone" and toggle it to "False" as well.
Open any MP3 link and you'll see a download prompt, just as when you open links to most other types of files. Select "Save File" and press "OK."
- 1
Tips & Warnings
- Changing the settings on the "about:config" page disables embedded MP3 playback on websites. You'll have to visit MP3 links directly and download files you want to hear.
- If you use a media plugin, such as QuickTime, these steps may not work. Each such plugin has its own methods of downloading media, so check your plugin's help files or disable it to revert to the default method in Firefox.
- Downloading commercial music may violate copyright, even if a website allows you to stream that music for free. Only download MP3s you have the right to save.
- Information in this article applies to Firefox versions 26 and above. It may vary slightly or significantly with other versions.
