Saudi Ascendancy After Arab Spring
The Saudis suddenly have enormous leverage over Muslim states that can't pay their bills. Turkey is in serious financial trouble, with a current-account deficit equal to 10% of GDP, the same level as Greece or Portugal. Turkey is in no danger of national bankruptcy, but it is in danger of a sever austerity program to correct the imbalance which might expose Tayyip Erdogan as a borrow-and-bully Third World populist tyrant. Is Saudi influence at work in the collapse of Turkey's romance with Iran? That's hard to confirm, but the fact is that the Turks (who financed 85% of their currnet account deficit on short-term money markets) need the Saudis more than ever.
As Tony Badran observes in Foreign Affairs, the Obama administration's hope of outsourcing Levant policy to Turkey has sunk (we might say that the Good Ship Obama has lost its Ankara). It is hard to make sense of what Erdogan is up to; his latest bombing campaign against Kurds in Iraq suggests fear that the Syrian problem might spill over into Turkey itself. But I hesitate to guess at this juncture. Erdogan is a shrewd Anatolian peasant whose response to pressure is to confuse pursuers by contradictory actions.
We do not know what role the Saudis are playing in Turkish politics, but it seems clear that whatever Riyadh does is directed towards closing Sunni ranks against Iran. The good news is that Iran faces serious opposition; the bad news is that the feckless gang in Washington is barely a spectator in these events.

Syria seems to be ground zero for whatever's on the menu for September according to R.Kahlili
It's not hard to see Iran won't take a back seat to the Saudi's machinations and they are stoking the fire in Gaza and soon on Israel's northern border.
Could WW III be far off ?
I don't think China and Russia will sit this one out as they did America's last 3 adventures in the camel land.

It seems to me that Islam is simply rearranging the deck chairs…this tyrant for that monarch etc. I believe this will continue 1. As long as the money flows (oil, that is) and 2. The Islamic narrative remains unchanged/ challenged. The final answer is a fundamental change in the narrative. For example:
Islam was high jacked when Mohamed made the trip from Mecca to Medina. He was killed/ captured (pick one) and replace by a doppelganger. The impostor, a priest of the desert goddess Allah, and his minions modified the Koran and invented sharia law in order to maintain their positions of power. Thus original Islam (Islam al Mecca) was taken over by the evil Islam al Medina, the most prominent form today.
You can fill in the rest of the story to suit.

The Saudi's always have the most organized end-game. I don't trust them but sure have to tip my hat to 'em for making the best moves for their outcome at just the proper time. Would that we might ever have an administration capable of doing the same. We might want to start by not thinking so highly of our own brainpower. Would S ever have a place in a future administration?August 25, 2011 - 9:44 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

I'm the 3rd commenter on this post. By this time next year this blog will be jam packed with comments. Mark my works.
Spengler, I'm a fan for many years now, (atimes.com and firstthings.com).
I'm waiting for the entire ME to blow up. My biggest fear is that the rank and file islamist leaning morons will believe that Israel is the cause of the failure of the Arab Spring to bring about change and jobs. I believe there is no hope for islam (islamsfatalflaw.com) and these robots will rally around any influential leader that tells them that it is Israel behind all Islams failures.

Oil-rich Saudi Arabia ought to pick up all the tabs from these muslim states that cannot survive without Western aid. If our leaders weren't so ignorant, they'd know that every Western penny sent to muslim states is, one way or another, financing our destruction at the hands of black-cube worshippers. And that should be good enough a reason to quit such madness once and for all. Let the Umma fund its own jihad.August 26, 2011 - 8:37 am Link to this Comment | Reply

The American policy of appeasing the Saudis started long before Obama, but he has "achieved" new lows in that regard. Muslims don't respect appeasers. They simply pocket the concessions and demand more. They do respect a show of strength, and it had better not be an empty show – it must be backed up with deeds and it must never, never be followed by an apology to anyone.
Despite Obama's obvious sympathies for Islamic expansionism, the man is just downright stupid. He cannot comprehend the fact that Islamic countries will never be friends with a predominantly non-Muslim America, no matter what he himself does.August 26, 2011 - 11:15 am Link to this Comment | Reply

There seems to be misunderstanding regarding the House of Saud;
The United States Petro Dollar system, which is the foundation for US economy since 1971, is based on Saudi Arabian Petroleum production. The Bank called citi-solutions in New York is the liquid petroleum fund pool, in the hundreds of billions of dollars that move in and out of the NYSE and COMEX daily.
The US has been economically impotent since 1971, the movers and shakers in the world have the US over an Oil barrel and whatever the House of Saud decides to do, the US can say nothing as the House of Saud alone supports the US dollar on world markets.
When the House of Saud gives money to any group in US dollars, it is from this Petro Dollar system that is comes from, which is funded by US taxpayer and petroleum revenue streams.
Enjoy the view, your paying for it.August 26, 2011 - 1:35 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

I can see some good things coming out of Saudis leading a Sunni opposition to Shia Iran. Relieves the US of some burdens although it takes some control out of the hands of our Administration. It should also make the House of Saud more appreciative of what military support we do provide.
It also means increased proliferation pressures. First Pakistan, then Iran, soon Saudi Arabia.
Nuclear war is always ugly but less so at a distance. And frankly, what difference do ME city dwellers make to world current or economic events? What do they export or contribute that is positive?

It would be helpful if the Saudis built a pipeline along the Sinai border and turned Gaza into an oil refinery/export 'colony'. Pay Egypt to keep it secure.
One way for the Saudis to develop a cold peace with Israel while containing Hamas and securing the Sinai.
I thought the Saudis already "bought" Pakistan's nuclear arsenal, and labor force.

Saudi being able to influence the outcome in the mid east and still have this animus towards Israel; it seems they feel that Israel can be taken out. Israel is our friend, Saudi and all its barbarian cohorts will be no match when a confrontation flares. It may be that Saudi will send funds openly or surreptitiously but having nothing else; when the stuff starts flying it may occur that all of a sudden all electronic networks will be for some reason shut down. Won't even be able to use the phone. Indeed very possible.August 27, 2011 - 3:27 am Link to this Comment | Reply

In March 2011 a retired Suadi commodore published the following piece, "What if Arabs had recognized the State of Israel in 1948?" (http://arabnews.com/opinion/columns/article322715.ece), it occurred to me that it was part of an approved KSA information operation to align their security policy more closely with that of Israel and stick a spoke in Iran's wheel.

Teachers from across Montana gathered in Helena for a conference to discuss Indian education.
An estimated 200 educators gathered to talk about how to improve and share knowledge of Native American issues.
They watched a PBS film called "Summer Sun, Winter Moon." The film is aimed at encouraging different perspectives of textbook history such as the stories and acceptance of Lewis & Clark.
Teresa Veltkamp, an Indian education specialist with the MT Office of Public Instruction, noted, "Historically we had a lot of misinformation or a lack of information about American Indians. And that's something that we're able to remedy now through our 'Indian Education For All' education funding that we received in 2005. So we're really learning to be better neighbors."
This was the fifth annual Indian education conference sponsored by the Office of Public Instruction.

The 70th annual Our Lady of Perpetual Help Barbecue Fair drew thousands to its rides, shows, games and, of course, its barbecue.
SAN FERNANDO - The 2011 Halloween killing of good Samaritan Alejandro Sanchez-Torrez came at the tail end of a 4-day crime spree allegedly punctuated by gunpoint intimidation, violence and a street fight showdown that ended in gunfire, jurors heard last week as the murder trial of three young men got underway.
A package of bills signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown and aimed at protecting California's groundwater supplies is being hailed as a much-needed step forward for a state seized by drought.
SAN FERNANDO - Eric Earle wilfully and deliberately smothered and killed his girlfriend, Karla Brada, between the night of Aug. 31 and the morning of Sept. 1, 2011, a jury decided Thursday after brief deliberations.
A Santa Clarita Valley woman was sentenced to four years in prison Thursday for hitting and fatally injuring a motorcyclist with her car last year, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said.
Prosecutors have tossed out cases against two Santa Clarita Valley tobacco store owners arrested for allegedly selling pseudo pot compounds called "spice," a spokesman for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station said Thursday.
SAN FERNANDO - Attorneys moved to wrap up their cases Wednesday in the murder trial of Eric Earle - the Saugus man accused of killing his girlfriend - with the prosecution emphasizing his track record and the defense claiming his history is irrelevant.
SAN FERNANDO - Eric Earle, who stands accused of killing his girlfriend Karla Brada, was asked why his testimony differs sharply from that provided by sheriff's deputies, neighbors, medical experts and Brada's friends during his murder trial Tuesday.
The long arm of the law was long enough - and slender enough - to reach into a hot minivan Tuesday and free a dog left inside the vehicle as temperatures climbed to triple digits, a Santa Clarita Valley sheriff's spokesman said.
SAN FERNANDO - Nearly three years after a good Samaritan was shot and killed in front of his 7-year-old son on Halloween, the trial of three young men accused of murdering him got under way Monday with opening arguments.
A Sand Canyon woman and her son face felony charges today in relation to terrorist threats that were allegedly made by the young man Thursday, a sheriff's spokesman said.
SAN FERNANDO - Eric Earle, who stands accused of killing his girlfriend Karla Brada, took the witness stand in his own defense Monday, telling jurors Brada injured herself when she fell down stairs at their Saugus condo.
The rallying cry for more than a dozen local artists Sunday was apparently: All you need is love - for The Beatles.
A passing mom on her way to pick up her kids from school alerted a Saugus mother Thursday that her house was on fire, and the woman was able to flee the burning home safely with her 7-month-old baby.
Two Saugus High School students were arrested for posting "inappropriate photos" on social media, a spokeswoman for the William S. Hart Union School District said Thursday.
Lawyers representing Alcoholics Anonymous World Services Inc. are fighting a wrongful-death lawsuit filed against the organization by the parents of murder victim Karla Brada, claiming there is no basis for the lawsuit.
Editor's note: Monday marked the 27th anniversary of Santa Clarita's founding. This is the sixth in The Signal's seven-part series about the surviving men and women who made the city a reality.
A dirty, rat-infested house on Bernina Avenue, boarded-up and red-tagged in May, is about to be either renovated or destroyed, according to its owner and city officials.
Sheriff's deputies responded to a series of domestic disturbance calls in the Santa Clarita Valley on Tuesday, including a report that a Canyon Country man was threatening to harm himself and others with a pellet gun inside his home, officials said.
Four burglars helped themselves to some iPads at the Stevenson Ranch Walmart on Tuesday, but they dropped the loot while fleeing after one was detained, a Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station lieutenant said.
As senators negotiated judicial appointments Tuesday, Santa Clarita city officials continued efforts to change the mind of one man known to be standing in the way of legislation to ban a mine in Canyon Country.
Editor's note: Monday marked the 27th anniversary of Santa Clarita's founding. This is the third in The Signal's seven-part series about the surviving men and women who made the city a reality.
Martin Heinrich, Democratic senator from New Mexico, is refusing to back the current Cemex bill before the Senate because it "sets a dangerous precedent," a spokeswoman said Monday.
They were knocking down pins and racking up big bucks Sunday at the third annual Bowling for Kids fundraiser.
Efforts to locate the relatives of a man believed homeless, whose body was recovered Friday morning in the Santa Clara River in Canyon Country, are proving difficult, a spokesman for the county coroner's department said.
Word that a 43-year-old Democratic senator from New Mexico, who was elected in 2012, is poised to oppose the last chance for a Cemex bill to pass Congress this session has set civic leaders on a mission to change his mind.
A man is dead following a single-vehicle crash Saturday night on Interstate 5 north of Castaic, according to the California Highway Patrol.
An elusive emu led county animal control officers on a chase through Santa Clarita Valley backyards for a few hours Thursday before they were able to shoot it with a tranquilizer dart - twice - and haul it to the Castaic Animal Shelter.
An early Thursday traffic collision on Interstate 5 in the Newhall Pass ended in a ball of fire, but nobody was injured, Fire Department officials said.
An attorney pleaded no contest Wednesday to smuggling $30,000 worth of heroin to a jailed prisoner inside a greeting card.

Are there medications that cause decreased libido?
- Q: Are there medications that cause decreased libido?
- A: Loss of libido is a common problem in the United States. Sexual dysfunctions are most common in the early adult years, with the majority of people seeking care for such conditions during their late 20s through 30s. The incidence increases again in the perimenopause and postmenopause years in women, and in the geriatric population, typically with gradual onset of symptoms that are associated most commonly with medical causes of sexual dysfunction. There are a number of medications that can cause a decrease in the sex drive, including antidepressants (particularly those called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors [SRRIs]), drugs for high blood pressure, chemotherapy for cancer, birth control pills, and several antipsychotics. Other factors can contribute to sexual dysfunction, such as emotional health, physical health, and hormones. Michelle McDermott, RPh, PharmD

Baranek: Tinley Park's Arden plays, dances on despite fracture
By Tony Baranek email@example.com May 26, 2013 7:10PM
Tinley Park's Carlye Arden keeps a positive attitude as a broken leg keeps her out of the sectional semifinal vs. Marian Catholic. | Allen Cunningham~For Sun-Times Media
high school
Article Extras
Updated: June 28, 2013 6:24AM
Being there for your teammates is one of the most important things a captain can do.
What Tinley Park senior soccer player Carlye Arden did on May 22, however, went well beyond doing her job.
Put it somewhere between courageous and, to be blunt, maybe a little crazy.
Arden and I talked about it as she sat in the aluminum bleachers at a recent practice She was sporting a cast on her fractured right leg, a crutch at her side. She looked a little bit frustrated at not being out there with them, but otherwise she was all smiles.
She said she was glad she left it all on the field … or in this particular case, the dance floor.
That's another part of our story. But let's start at the beginning.
When Arden took the field as a forward for the Titans in an Oak Forest Regional title match against the host Bengals, she had 26 goals in her career, 13 of them coming this season. She also had seven assists during the 2013 season.
Playing Oak Forest is a big thing to Arden. The Bengals are a Dist. 228 rival. Plus, there was history.
"Two years ago, my sophomore year, we went into a shootout with them and lost for conference," she recalled. "During that I was going up for a header and I came down and their goalie kneed me in the back. I had a spinal contusion and had to go to the hospital."
Arden already got her revenge, scoring two goals in a 5-0 victory earlier this season, but there's always room for more. On top of that, the regional game happened to fall on the same day as Tinley Park's prom. Big fun doesn't come much bigger for a teenage kid.
At about the 12-minute mark of the first half, Arden was streaking down the left side with the ball when the drama began.
"I was just about to shoot when the girl on my right side hit me by my knee, and then the goalie hit me with her body from the other side," she said.
Arden, needless to say, went down. But she didn't stay down.
"While I was (laying) there I thought, 'No, this isn't the day to go out,' " Arden recalled.
So she got up. Realizing that she was having difficulty putting pressure on her right leg, she was assisted to the bench, where during a series of sessions with the trainer she did her best to convince him she was good to go.
"We both thought it was a deep bruise," Arden said. "I told him that it was all right and I got up and started walking on it a little bit. He told me if I could get to 75 percent of my sprint I could go in."
Arden was taped and wore a teammate's knee brace in the second half. She narrowly missed scoring a goal. Then, with just under eight minutes remaining and the game still scoreless, a break came Tinley Park's way.
"There was a foul in the corner right on top of the box," Arden said. "We had practiced this play over and over the day before. And right when we set it up, I could feel it was going in."
Arden's role, to be a distraction in front of the goaltender worked to perfection. The shot by Jenna Rivera whistled past her head, away from the goalie, hit one of the goalposts and went into the net.
At that point, Arden came out of the game. Tinley Park went on to win 1-0, and afterward she and seven of her prom-going teammates headed for downtown Chicago.
When they arrived, Arden says she ran to the stage and announced to everyone there that the Titans were a regional champion.
"The whole prom busted out (cheering)," Arden said. "Oh, man, it was so fun."
Still assuming that she was suffering from just a deep bruise, Arden danced and had fun for a couple of hours. It was only after she sat down and relaxed for a bit that her right leg stiffened up and started to swell. She says she had to be carried from the prom to her ride home, and from her ride home into the house.
The next morning Arden was taken by her father to an emergency care center, where an X-ray revealed the stunning news.
"The (doctor) said, 'Oh, you have a tibia plateau fracture. What did you say you were doing yesterday?'
When I told him, he was like, 'What? I don't know whether to admire that or point out your stupidity. That's kind of extreme."
He apparently doesn't know many captains. At least captains like Carlye Arden.
As it turned out, Arden didn't have surgery. The blood was drained from around the break and a cast was put on her leg. She'll be in that state for a handful of weeks before an MRI will eventually be done to determine if there was any ligament damage.
Her career is over, but not because of the injury. Even after she recovers from the fractured tibia plateau, Arden has no plans to be playing soccer in college.
She says if she had it to do all over, she'd talk her way into going back on the field again. She doesn't blame the trainer at all for not recognizing her injury.
"I'm kind of glad that he thought it was a deep bruise," she said, smiling. "If he'd have said he thought it was broken, I might have been psyched out. But the fact that he couldn't tell made it that much easier to push through.
"I'm glad it ended the way it is. Other than the fracture, what better way to end then by winning a regional, and beating your rival on the day of prom? That chance comes once in a lifetime. I'm lucky."

Astragalus herb is used by traditional Chinese doctors to stimulate the immune system. The root contains various compounds including astragaloside. This plant is native to Northern China and Mongolia. The herb inhabits mostly pine forests and sandy soils. Chinese doctors have used it to fight the common cold and the flu. Very little human research regarding the use of astragalus root extract is available in the western medical literature and further studies in the next few years will make it clearer on how this herbal supplement could be of benefit.
Chemistry and composition, what does it contain?
Astragalus root contains polysaccharides that are thought to play an important role in influencing the immune system. It also contains saponins called astragalosides, along with flavonoids and triterpenes.

Potential benefits of astragalus herb and extract
Aplastic anemia, low blood hemoglobin
Clinical study on effect of astragalus Injection and its immuno-regulation action in treating chronic aplastic anemia.
Chin J Integrative Medicine. 2007.
Sixty patients with aplastic anemia were randomly assigned to two groups equally, both were treated with Stanozolol three times a day, 2 mg each time through oral intake, but astagalus was given additionally to the patients in the treated group once a day via intravenous dripping. All were treated for 15 days as one therapeutic course and the whole medication lasted for more than 4 months totally, with follow-up adopted. Astragalus injection could promote the recovery of hemopoietic function, which might be through improving T-lymphocyte subsets and reducing the release of negative regulatory factors such as TNF-alpha and IL-2 to alleviate the inhibition on hemopoietic function.
Astragalus membranaceus lectin (AML) induces caspase-dependent apoptosis in human leukemia cells.
Cell Prolif. 2012. Bioresource Utilization Laboratory, College of Engineering, China Agricultural University, Beijing, China.
Recently, plant lectins have attracted great interest due to their various biological activities such as anti-cancer, anti-fungal and anti-viral activities. We have reported earlier concerning anti-proliferation of human cancer cell lines by a galactose-binding lectin (AML), from a Chinese herb, Astragalus. In the present study, detailed investigations into the mechanism of such anti-proliferation properties have been carried out. Mechanism of apoptosis initiation in K562 cells by AML was investigated by morphology, flow cytometry and western blot analysis. AML induced apoptosis in a caspase-dependent manner in the chronic myeloid leukemia cell line, K562. Furthermore, we observed that cytotoxicity and apoptosis of K562 cells induced by AML were completely abolished in presence of lactose or galactose. Our results suggest that AML could act as a potential anti-cancer drug.
Traditional Chinese medicine Astragalus
reverses predominance of Th2 cytokines and their up-stream transcript
factors in lung cancer patients.
Oncol Rep. 2003.
Th2 cytokine is predominant in tumor patients and was found to be associated with tumor progression. Reversing of Th2 dominant status is thought to be a promising strategy. Our results demonstrate that traditional Chinese medicine Astragalus might reverse the Th2 predominant status in lung cancer patients, which is a probable alternative therapeutic regime in future.

Email - I have found that astragalus root does help with genital herpes. I have been taking this for years now and I have not had an outbreak since.
Heart failure
Astragalus has protective effect on ischemia / reperfusion injury. May be helpful in congestive heart failure.
Study on effect of Astragalus injection in treating congestive heart failure.
Zhou ZL, Yu P. Third People's Hospital, Hangzhou.
Eighty-three congestive heart failure patients with heart function of II-IV grade assessed by New York Heart Association classification were randomly divided into 2 groups. The 42 patients in the treated group were treated with astragalus 40 ml (equivalent to 80 g crude drug) by adding in 5% glucose solution 500 ml for intravenous dripping, once a day and the 41 patients in the control group were treated by nitrolingual injection. The therapeutic course in both groups was 2 weeks and the patients were followed-up for 1- 6 months. The clinical heart function improvement rate and the total effective rate in the astragalus treated group after 1 month treatment were 26% and 78%, and after 6 months were 34% and 81% respectively, which were superior to those in the control group significantly. The levels of left ventricular ejection fraction, fractional shortening of left ventricular short axis, stroke volume, cardiac output and the cardiac index were all improved in both groups, but better improvement was shown in the astragalus group. Follow-up study showed that the incidence of cardiac event was lower in the treatment group than that in the control group.
Immune system research studies
Astragalus has been shown to enhance certain aspects of the immune system, and may have some anti-HIV activity in laboratory studies. It's difficult to know at this time whether it would have anti-HIV activity when ingested as a supplement.
Flu and respiratory
I heard Dr. Andrew Weil on Larry King Live in September 2009 recommend astragalus pills for prevention or treatment of swine flu or H1N1. What is your opinion?
I have not seen any such human studies regarding its use as a treatment or for prevention of H1N1, swine flu. This herb may help but I have not come across any such information.
Astragalus may be helpful in diabetic nephropathy.
Protective effects of Astragalus saponin on early stage of diabetic
nephropathy in rats.
J Pharmacology Sci. 2004.
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) has become the leading cause of end stage failure, but no renoprotective treatment has been very available for use in DN. Astragalus saponin I was studied in experimental DN induced by administration of streptozotocin in male rats. The early DN rats were treated with 3 doses of astragalus for 8 weeks to analyze its efficacy with different parameters. By comparison with vehicle-treated DN rats, the renal hypertrophy, the oxidative stress intensity, and the blood glucose level of DN rats were ameliorated by astragalus. Also, the microalbuminuria level, advanced glycated end-products either in serum or in kidney cortex, and the aldose reductase activity were significantly reduced. The results suggest that astragalus has therapeutic effects on several pharmacological targets in the progress of DN and is a potential drug for prevention of early stage DN.
Astragalus membranaceus reduces free radical-mediated injury to renal
tubules in rabbits receiving high-energy shock waves.
Chin Med J 2005.
Recent studies have revealed the important role of free radicals in renal damage induced by high-energy shock waves (HESW). This study aimed at investigating the effects of Astragalus membranaceus, a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, on free radical-mediated HESW-induced damage to renal tubules in a live rabbit model. This study provides preliminary evidence indicating that Astragalus membranaceus has strong protective effects on free radical-mediated renal tubular damage induced by HESW and that these effects are superior to the effects of verapamil.
Oral herpes
In a test tube study, astragalus was found to inhibit oral herpes virus. Whether the same effect will occur in humans is is not yet clear.
Experimental study of the effect of Astragalus
membranaceus against herpes simplex virus type 1
Di Yi Jun Yi Da Xue Xue Bao. 2004.
To study the inhibitory effects of Astragalus membranaceus on herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). In the 2BS cells infected with HSV-1, the antiviral effect of Astragalus decoction was investigated by observing the inhibition of HSV-1-induced cytopathic effect in response to treatment with the decoction. Astragalus membranaceus has obvious HSV-1-inhibiting efficacy and low cytotoxicity.
Interactions with other herbs
and supplements that influence the immune system
There are a number of such herbs including andrographis, echinacea, goldenseal, maitake, ahcc, reishi, cordyceps, etc. It is difficult to predict how astragalus herb would interact with the others. Each person is likely to have a different reaction depending on dosage, health condition, and other supplements or medications they may be taking.
Email - Patton protocol
This ancient Chinese herbal tonic is reported on the internet to contain compounds that turn on DNA's telomere repair, thereby rejuvenating DNA and extending the Hayflick limit. Cancer, which also does this little trick, could be a concern, but so far it appears to use the same machinery in an unrelated way. A conservative approach, two weeks on and two weeks off with cancer antagonists like turmeric, is referred to as the Patton protocol. This has been going on for a couple of years, with alleged telomere effects. Any comments?
Until actual long term human studies are done which determine the overall benefit or adverse effects of this regimen, any attempts of predicting what would happen is purely hypothetical.

License plate sensor protects you from automated traffic cameras
You may not realize it, but you're already being policed by robotic systems; specifically, traffic cams. But unlike dystopian visions of humans simply rolling over and taking it from our electronic overseers, in this case there is a way to fight back, and it's called the noPhoto.
The device is a microprocessor-controlled license plate holder that works to detect speeding and red light traffic cameras, and then flashes a bright light that obscures the digits on your license plate when the cameras attempt to take a photo. The designer, Jonathan Dandrow, isn't just some guy looking to flout the law, he really is part of a vanguard of techies concerned about automated law enforcement.
Dandrow told Wired, "I believe that there are others out there who take issue with the gross privacy and constitutional violations that automated traffic enforcement cameras commit." Although this kind of device would seem to tread the margins of legal anti-detection measures, Dandrow claims it is legal because it uses the same technology employed to capture license plate images and doesn't put an actual cover over the license plate.
Dandrow is raising money for mass production of the device via IndieGogo, and if he reaches his goal, the noPhoto will be available to the public for $350 per unit. You can check out how the device works in the video below.

Striping For Several Sports
"Many municipalities are looking to turn over their multi-use natural-grass fields to synthetic as the natural grass fields just cannot accommodate all of that use."
McCamy says that football, soccer, and lacrosse have become his main concerns in terms of marking.
"While these three sports still hold the most demand, baseball has created a new dimension in multi-purpose fields, and that is growing tremendously," he adds. "The combination of sports for multi-purpose fields does not create challenging design issues, but it can create a busy look, which is all about user preference."
Synthetic-turf builders can inlay lines when turf is installed; in general, the brightest colors can be used for primary sports, with darker colors for additional sports. For example, one field might have white lines for football and yellow for soccer or lacrosse, while lines for other sports might be made in navy or silver.
The ultimate goal is to allow players and officials to have a clear sense of boundaries at all times.
In addition, line paint (temporary and permanent) is marketed for use on many artificial-turf fields; before applying anything, park managers are advised to obtain recommendations from the company that installed the fields. In the right circumstances, a temporary paint can be used to great effect, says Cote.
"A common practice with synthetic fields is to cut in permanent 'tick marks' or small squares that denote certain distances for respective sport lines and then paint those lines on in season. This practice eliminates having multiple sets of permanent lines."
While synthetic fields can be designed and built with a specific sport in mind (for example, a GMAX rating would be essential to a football field, and FIFA standards for ball roll and bounce would play into the design of a soccerplex), a multi-sport field will serve many purposes, and as such needs to provide a safe playing surface with uniform results for athletes. Those who are looking into adding a synthetic field should work with the builder to provide all information on sports that will be hosted in order to have the best possible outcome.
Maintenance Crew
One of the major bonuses of the synthetic field is that it is, well, synthetic. It doesn't require mowing, weeding, fertilizing, and so forth. But that can lead to a sense of complacency, say builders.
"Synthetic-turf fields are not maintenance-free," says Cote. "Rather, they are a lower-maintenance alternative to natural grass. Many manufacturers will include maintenance equipment such as groomers and tine rakes in their price.
"Managers should follow the manufacturers' recommendations for frequency of grooming. Ensuring that they have the proper equipment to clean, groom, and maintain the field is critical."
McCamy recommends a periodic walk-through of the facility to look for problems.
"Make sure to check infill levels of high-traffic areas," he notes. "It is recommended to brush/groom a field once or twice a year as well. Keeping excess debris off of synthetic fields is the only job you should have to worry about for a longer-lasting, better-looking field, and this can be done with a simple leaf-blower."
The Inevitable
Remember too, that synthetic surfaces have a definite lifespan, and they will someday need replacement. A builder can help you look for signs of problems, and discuss how to prolong the useful life of the turf.
The multi-sport field is the all-season athlete of a park system. With proper care, it can continue to provide all-star performance for seasons to come.

(CNN) -- Eleven "terrorists" were killed -- eight by police, and three by their own suicide bomb -- in a terrorist attack Friday in northwest China's restive Xinjiang region, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
Police captured a suspect in the attack, Xinhua reported, citing police.
Armed with explosives and knives, the assailants were riding motorbikes and driving cars and attacked a team of police on patrol about 4 p.m. local time, state media said, quoting police.
Frequent outbreaks of violence have beset Xinjiang, a resource-rich region where the arrival of waves of Han Chinese people over the decades has fueled tensions with the Uyghurs, a Turkic-speaking, predominantly Muslim ethnic group.
About 190 terrorist attacks were recorded in Xinjiang in 2012, the regional public security department told Xinhua.

Frankie I's artisan pub fare steams beneath 12 big-screen televisions and vibrates with live tunes emanating from a cavernous loft stage. Signature dishes lend a gourmet John Hancock to traditional pub cuisine with entrees such as the Greek-style stuffed salmon florentine, comprising a freshly caught Atlantic salmon fillet packed with spinach, spices, and feta atop wild rice and crinkly parchment ($16.95). Other proteins include the homestyle baked pork chop with sausage and sage stuffing ($12.95), as well as the 24-ounce bone-in rib eye, cut by hand and topped with caramelized onions and mushrooms ($27.95). Diners may also savor the fried-shrimp platter, which chefs bread and haul from the deep fryer to bathe in house-made tartar and cocktail sauces ($15.95).
During the last three decades, Charley's has shuffled up standard decks of carbs in a fresh, innovative fashion. Though the soul of Charley's spawns from the beefy abyss of the signature cheesesteak sandwiches ($4.59–$8.99), the entire menu is flavorfully filled to capacity with delicious grilled combinations (prices vary by location). The chicken teriyaki sandwich ($4.89–$9.29) is quaint for a stomach sublet, while the Italian deli deluxe carnivorously conquers with a bed of pepperoni, ham, turkey, provolone, and generous dustings of Italian seasoning ($4.59–$8.99). Diners can load their gastronomic cargo-carriers with a combo meal, complete with Charley's famously crisp fries ($1.79–$1.89 for a regular order), or ascend a mountain of abominably coated fries featuring cheddar, ranch, and bacon
The culinary experts at Ali's Grille & Cafe craft extensive menus for lunch and dinner, silencing growling hunger pangs with an array of soups, salads, sandwiches, and more. Pick up one of Ali's handheld comestibles, such as the three-cheese panini on a ciabatta bun ($5.95) or the bacon-wrapped black-bean burger that rides atop a portobello mushroom ($7.95). An asian oriental salad mixes mandarin oranges, red peppers, cinnamon honey almonds, and chinese noodles with a sesame ginger dressing ($6.95), while a java-rubbed rib steak topped with onions and portobello mushrooms comes accompanied by a baked potato and sauteed zuchini ($15.95). Feeding frenzies get a grand liquid finale with an espresso milkshake ($4) or a fresh strawberry-banana smoothie ($4), and Ali's can infuse its beverages with health-enlivening vitamins and minerals ($1.99–$2.99), including antioxidants, vitamin B12, and protein to build up muscles before arm-wrestling with a western lowland gorilla.
Hot dogs can be prepared many ways—boiled, grilled, or strung onto a piece of thread and worn as a necklace. Champion River Dawgs and Fries, a roving hot-dog stand, flash-fries them.

I know that Uzumaki Naruto Two Thousand Combo creates 999 clones, but didn't in anime Naruto want to give Gaara 4000 kicks?--LeafShinobi (talk) 20:41, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
Yeah i'm with you. He said 2k in the anime, so 2000 punches, one per clone is 2000 clones. and he said they would use both legs for 4000 kicks. It's not 999 or 1000, its 2000—This unsigned comment was made by Valiordruid (talk • contribs) .
- There are one thousand Naruto's, each of them hit Gaara with two punches equaling two thousand punches.--Deva 27 (talk) 03:50, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
No, they hit him with one punch each, watch when they all hit Gaara. He also said "This time we'll use both legs for a barrage of four thousand kicks!".—This unsigned comment was made by Valiordruid (talk • contribs) .
- The databook says he forms 999 clones for a total of 1000 Naruto's. The four thousand kicks is a mistranslation.

I've never been to Wildwood, New Jersey. Most likely, I'll never go. But with a click or two on my laptop, I just invested $100 in a 487 kw solar project on the roof of the Wildwoods Convention Center in Wildwood, on the Jersey shore, thanks to Mosaic.
Like Kickstarter, which enables ordinary people to support a variety of projects that grab their attention, Mosaic is an Internet crowdfunding platform. But Mosaic for now focuses exclusively on solar energy and, unlike Kickstarter, it promises its investors a return–in my case, a 4.5 percent annual yield over the next 110 months. That's a lot better than 10-year US Treasury bonds that currently return just 1.66 percent a year, and a whole lot better than my money market fund at Vanguard which current returns 0.01 percent. [Of course, investing in solar is also more risky than buying a money market fund–see the addendum below.]
What's more, I get to support solar power–which won't work on the roof of my own home in Bethesda, Md., because it is surrounded by tall trees.
I've been keeping an eye on Mosaic since last September when I met one of its founders, Billy Parish, in Washington, D.C. Billy subsequently came to Fortune Brainstorm Green this month, and we caught up the other day by phone. Since Mosaic began offering solar investments to a broad public in January, the company has raised about $2.1 million from about 1,500 investors. That's impressive.
"The idea is that people should be able to invest in, and own clean energy," Billy told me. "We need trillions of dollars in the coming decades to invest in clean energy. We just substitute the crowd for the bank."
Think about it–Mosaic is financing distributed energy, using distributed funders, collected over the Internet, the ultimate distributed platform. This is decentralized power at its best. [click to continue…]

UI Extension Rapid Response Design Team
Professor Stephen Drown, Extension Specialist in Landscape Architecture, led a team of graduate students as they developed design concepts for public space projects in eight rural communities in southern Idaho. The team's work included plans for parks, walking trails, and landscaping for a fairgrounds and a community center.
This project builds on university-community relationships developed through the Horizons program, which helped rural communities throughout Idaho develop local leadership skills and create community vision and action plans. Many communities' plans involved creating or improving outdoor public spaces, but not all communities had the resources to move forward with those plans.
The Office of Community Partnerships connected eight of these communities with Drown, and the Idaho Spaces and Places Rapid Response Design Partnership was launched with funding from UI Extension. Drown and Landscape Architecture graduate students, Lu Ding and Zhen Yu Liu, met with community members several times to learn about each community's public space needs and visions. The students interacted with community members to create and refine design concepts before submitting a final design to each community.
Students gained real-world experience developing design concepts and eventually final project designs. Communities and local Extension educators gained a project design that will allow them to fundraise and write grant proposals to move toward fulfilling their community vision.
This project has many qualities that serve as a model for future work in communities. The project:
- built on existing university-community relationships;
- provided a real benefit for the community;
- provided hands-on learning opportunities for students;
- engaged communities throughout the project; and
- was completed in a timely manner.
For more information about the UI Extension Rapid Response Design Team, please contact Stephen Drown at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Full project list:
- Albion – local and regional trail system, Main Street concepts and campus circulation plans
- Eden and Hazelton –Wilson Lake Reservoir
- Heyburn – landscape plan for Interstate-84 exit

Harvest welcomes pastoral intern
Date: June 11, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
LAKEWOOD RANCH — Juana Jordan has long been in the business of telling stories, using her pen as a way to advocate for the people as a journalist.
But last month, Jordan began writing a story of her own — one that will blend her love of God with her passion for helping people. In May, Jordan came to the East County as the new pastoral intern at Harvest United Methodist Church.
During her 12 weeks at Harvest, Jordan will spent time working with the church's pastors, Steve Price and Catherine Fluck Price, learning all aspects of ministry. She'll have the opportunity to preach, lead a Bible study on prayer, participate in hospital visitations and more.
"I'm just praising God every day for this opportunity," Johnson said. "This is a blessing for me. I'm very much in need of being taken in and really molded and shaped. This is my opportunity."
Jordan just completed her first year of seminary at Candler School of Theology at Emory University in Atlanta. She's on schedule to graduate in 2011.
"The first year (of seminary) has been very challenging," Jordan said. "I can see there's a dying to myself, and I'm beginning to undergo this transformation and that I'm going to be a new person. It's been a fun, exciting year."
A native of Jacksonville, Jordan always has loved writing. She began her career in journalism in August 1993 as a general assignment reporter for "The Advance-Progress" in Vidalia, Ga. Since then, she's worked in various newspaper roles, finding her niche as the voice for the business community in Tallahassee at the "Tallahassee Democrat."
There, her pen became a means through which she could help expose people or companies that were not treating others fairly.
"I began to see my journalism begin to work as a form of ministry," Jordan said. "I felt like I was a voice for those people who could not speak for themselves."
One story in particular, grabbed Jordan's attention. A family had sought out her help in exposing a fraud that was affecting thousands of families across Florida by claiming to eliminate their debt and clean records. The company was taking client's money and doing nothing it promised.
Jordan pounced, and eventually, the state attorney's office launched an investigation and ordered the company stop marketing its services.
"I've always seen my work as a journalist that type of way — being a type of advocate," Jordan said. "I really felt like God was calling me to use my writing skills and my speaking ability in ministry."
After leaving the "Democrat" in April 2006, Jordan took on various roles, including coordinating the March of Dimes in Tallahassee, teaching at Florida A&M University and doing freelance writing work. She worked for less than a year for a public relations firm before realizing that God had other plans for her life.
"God really began to wrestle with me, and I knew I needed to pursue ministry full-time," Jordan said.
Transitioning from the workforce to academia has been difficult, especially relearning to write as a student rather than a reporter, but Jordan said the experience has been enlightening.
"I've cried a lot; I've really had to rely on God a lot," she said. "Now I'm excited about the second year and the changes and what I'm going to learn."
She's thrilled to be interning at Harvest and hopes to soak in everything she can from the experience and be molded and shaped for her future ministry.
"I'm very excited," Jordan said. "I really feel like this is my church family."
