Windows 8 Release Target Accidentally Leaked
Windows 7 might only have two years of newness left.
After Windows 7, the expected next evolution will be Windows 8. While Microsoft has confirmed that it is working on the next-generation of Windows, it hasn't said anything about release date. Speculation put it into sometime in 2012, but Redmond isn't confirming.
Interestingly enough, the Microsoft blog in the Netherlands had a rather interesting post talking about the upcoming release schedule of Microsoft products. Windows8beta.com ran it through a translator and this is what it read:
The phasing out of Windows XP, Microsoft is nearing completion. In July 2010, the support for Windows XP with Service Pack 2 stops. Today Microsoft will stop selling Windows XP to PC manufacturers and the aftermarket sales of Windows Vista. For Windows 7, Microsoft Service Pack 1. This service pack is still in the testing phase and is expected in the first half of next year available. The first update of Windows 7 is the new version of Windows Live Essentials (explore.live.com) became available in mid-June. Furthermore, Microsoft is of course the next version of Windows. But it will take about two years before "Windows 8 'on the market. The latest news about Windows is available at www.windows.nl / blog.
So according to that, if you're waiting for Windows 8 before making the move from your Windows XP install, you'll be waiting "about two years" before it'll be on the market.
Predictably, Microsoft took down the blog post and changed it to mention only Windows 7 SP1 and the new Windows Live Essentials that was released during the summer.

Microsoft releasing a new windows OS sometimes in the future ... go figure!
I just saw this on Networkworld.com. Considering that Microsoft almost never makes their target dates (especially this far out), I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it would be moved way back. Windows 7 is a great performer and will serve people well for a long time to come. It would be to Microsoft's benefit to really take their time on Windows 8 so as not to end up putting out another Vista.
Windows 7 is too damn good for a quick replacement. I hope they delay it until it is actually necessary and comes with some drastic changes.

11partytime , October 25, 2010 9:17 PMI agree.. We are very happy with Windows 7. Microsoft just needs to take a few extra years and get the next one right, then i'll be more willing to part with a few extra hundred bucks for the new one.

6campb292 , October 25, 2010 9:20 PMI agree, I can't really see Microsoft trying to replace Windows 7 before 2013. It has been a market success - several businesses and some governmental agencies in my area are making the switch to Windows 7 in the next two months. Word of mouth has been miles beyond the wom for Vista.
What I do see is the incorporation of native SATA 6Gb/s and USB 3.0 drivers in a future service pack. I had hoped it would be SP1, but as the adoption has been slow and it nears final testing stages, I hope they are in SP2. AMD has already added SATA 6Gb/s and USB3 to many of its boards and Intel is putting out its first in the coming month.
2spectrewind , October 25, 2010 9:21 PMDelays? Blackcomb? Whistler? Longhorn?
Nothing new here...
3twbg4cq , October 25, 2010 9:25 PMWell, I jumped from XP to 7, so if this news is true I may do the same by skipping to "Windows 9" (if that's what they end up calling it).
Of course that depends on what new features "Windows 8" is able to deliver.
We'll see...
4choirbass , October 25, 2010 9:29 PMAlbyintWindows Xp lasted how long and they are already planning on replacing Windows 7? I wonder what that really means.......
It means that Windows XP was 'long' overdue to be replaced. That shorter product cycles are more necessary.
0tolham , October 25, 2010 9:31 PMmicrosoft seems to make a really good OS on every-other release. they might as well get win 8 out of the way so they can get started on win 9.
0zachary k , October 25, 2010 9:32 PMbad news for Microsoft if people are use to a longer product cycle, they will have to make some big changes if they want people to move from 7 to 8.
but don't think that windows 7 is the greatest, Microsoft might have a few aces up its sleeve that will make windows 7 look like XP.
-6abswindows7 , October 25, 2010 9:46 PMI wonder what they can improve in NHL 2012, so don't ask me what can they improve/add to windows 8 ...
4ltbob , October 25, 2010 9:47 PMWindows XP RIP
You served me well..
-4rsud , October 25, 2010 9:55 PMWindows 8 will suck based on the history of Micro$oft OS releases.
I'll be waiting for Windows 9 !!
0Maxor127 , October 25, 2010 9:58 PMWindows 8 release target has been pretty common knowledge. Unless it's horribly delayed, I think everyone expects it to come out in about two years... probably late 2012. That's probably when I'll buy my next computer. Hopefully my current one will last. My graphics card died last week.
0Richeemxx , October 25, 2010 10:04 PMA two year product cycle just isn't going to cut. Look at all the complaints from Vista users over the short cycle to W7. Then factor in the fact that in the enterprise market, which is MS's major concern, XP is still the dominant OS. W7 is catching on and is a hot item but many at the enterprise level are still waiting and they aren't big on early adoption so there is no way they'd skip W7 with a SP or two to go to W8.
IMO I'd like to see some major UI and shell changes for W8/W9 but I doubt it would happen only because that means some major risk that MS isn't likely to take on. If anything I see them going to go the cloud with W8 and pushing it as more of a 'home' OS that's dumbed down and even more 'user friendly' and less power user oriented than W7 or XP have been.
3MAGPC , October 25, 2010 10:22 PMDear Microsoft,
We need a totally new OS, not a remake of windows 7 and Vista.
Thanks but Take your time.
we are not in hurry, Windows seven is fine.
8moe2freaky , October 25, 2010 10:52 PMA lot of people are going to disagree but I hope microsoft move away from 32 bit and go 64 bit native.
1dante01010 , October 25, 2010 11:06 PMi hope they replaces the crappy NTFS file system
2kelemvor4 , October 25, 2010 11:45 PMMicrosoft won't stray TOO far from their windows roots. The main reason windows sells is compatibility. If they break that, there would be no good reason to stay with windows instead of going with linux or even gizoogle's OS for free.

Michael Hyland joined FOX43 in April 2012 as a multimedia journalist after spending several years reporting in Virginia and West Virginia.
He most recently worked at WSAZ-TV in Charleston, West Virginia during one of the most fascinating (and complicated) periods in the state's political history. His interest in politics led him to launch a new blog and on-air franchise segment on the ever-changing political dynamics in the state.
Michael graduated summa cum laude from The George Washington University with a degree in journalism and minors in political science and theatre. He's a proud member of the Phi Beta Kappa society. While in school, he interned for the weekend unit at CNN and for "Meet the Press" on NBC. (He keeps a framed picture of himself and Tim Russert on his desk.) He also spent a summer at WTTG/Fox 5 and a semester with the investigative team at WJLA-TV/ABC 7.
When he's not at work, you'll probably find him at the movies, wandering through a local bookstore or watching his favorite show, The Price is Right.

I remember reading the first Sandman Slim book -- I snuck out onto onto the balcony on a Saturday morning, put up the hammock and sat down to read for an hour. Four hours later, I had finished it, and my wife had forgiven me for bailing on our afternoon because I had so delighted her with the choicest lines from Sandman Slim, which were more than adequate recompense for the lost afternoon.
What makes the Sandman Slim so addictive and so sticky in the imagination is a formula that has just enough familiarity to give you something to hold onto, but which challenges Kadrey to outdo himself with each volume. In each of these books, Sandman Slim discovers some supernatural crisis that threatens the world -- and sometimes also heaven, hell, and the rest of existence. Each time, Sandman Slim needs to overcome his own foibles and weaknesses to save things, and each time, things are harder than the last time.
The amazing thing is how Kadrey continually manages to keep this fresh, coming up with new and greater existential crises for all of reality, new domains of even-more-elder gods who raven at the edges of our dimension. Part of what keeps it fresh is Kadrey's encylopedic knowledge of the mythos, loony beliefs, demonology, and theology of dozens of sects, cults, faiths and subcultures, whose potency has not been diminished by being brewed into the weak tea of hundreds of lesser horror novels.
The other trick in Kadrey's act is his genuine gift for hard-boiled dialog. Sandman Slim is, by far, the toughest-talking, snappiest, fastest verbal gun of contemporary literature, and his voice is such an unvarnished pleasure that they makes these books into treats without parallel.
Like the five volumes before it (reviews: Sandman Slim, Kill the Dead, Aloha From Hell, Devil Said Bang, Kill City Blues) The Getaway God is a book to treasure and re-read and amuse your friends by offering up choice morsels when they grow impatient with your lost afternoon in the hammock.
If you've got younger people in your life -- or if you just can't get enough Kadrey -- I also thoroughly recommend Kadrey's fantastic supernatural YA novel Dead Set, which rebooted all the conventions of YA horror and found fresh seams of ore in tunnels that lesser writers had long-since given up as exhausted.

Simply Hired Releases Data on the Mobile Job Seeker
According to Simply Hired, a technology company operating job search engines, the mobile audience is universal and relying on their device more frequently than their desktop or laptop to pound the pavement.
After crunching data on more than 30 million job seekers during the month of August, per the report issued today mobile users are serious. As for the breakdown: 75 percent of job clicks came from mobile phones compared to 25 percent coming from tablets.
More engaged in jobs than ever before, they're spending more time on the site, and clicking through more and revisit the same job 60 percent more times than desktop users. And when they do revisit jobs for the second time around, they're checking them out on their desktops.
Interestingly enough, peak hours for mobile users were 8 to 9 p.m. and for desktop users it was 11:30 a.m. Read more

Two beautiful basement studios located in a brand new complex in Sunny Beach. The complex is situated a 6-minute walk from the beach and has its own communal swimming pool and a cafe. The area has plenty of restaurants, bars and high quality hotels and complexes. The studio allows for 2 people to stay but it may be possible for a small child to also stay with its parents. We have another similarly sized studio in the same complex but in a different wing. This means that both studios can be rented out by 2 couples or 2 families with small children or parents plus teenage kids. Each studio is available for 100 pounds/week or 150 euro/week. If you book both studios at the same time or book 1 of the studios for 2 weeks, you'll get a 25 pound discount from the whole sum. Guests should bear in mind that the size of the studios is that of a hotel room and would ideally suit 2 adults + 1 small child. The studio is oriented/faces the complex swimming pool. As the studios is situated on the basement floor, the views are limited and not direct and renters should bear this in mind. This is a value for money seaside accommodation located close to the beach, in a complex with a swimming pool and near restaurants, shops and bars. The summer season starts in the end of May - beginning of June and finishes around mid-September. Swimming pool, cafe + open-air bar during summer, parking lot, 24 hour security and other on-site services. The apartment has 2 single beds that can be united as 1 double bed. Both beds have spring mattresses. There's a fridge and a kettle in the apartment. No cooking facilities.When enquiring, please state if you are interested in only 1 or both of the studios. Preference would be given to groups/travellers requiring both of the studios.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Blog: Vikings Pick Arkansas WR Wright With First 4th Round Pick >>
Video: Jarius Wright's Combine Workout >>
Photo Gallery: Jarius Wright >>
Audio: Jarius Wright Conference Call >> Quotes: Jarius Wright Discusses Becoming A Viking >>
Wright has been a consistent starter for Arkansas since his freshman year. He is undersized but has legitimate 4.4 speed in the 40-yard dash, which he uses well in all aspects of his game. He wasn't used much as a returner, but he is an option for NFL teams there based off his ball handling, quickness and long speed. He has fourth-round value working out of the slot at the next level.
Wright is a very quick player who understands how to work out of the slot and sit down in the hole of a zone defense. He is tough in traffic and a deep threat who runs good routes. He understands the angling aspect of route running and how to create separation. He has quick hands to snag the ball in short throws and the ability to reel it in deep. He could add value at the return positions, although he hasn't displayed much on special teams in college.
Wright is undersized, and although he gives great effort in the run game, he struggles to sustain his blocks. He utilizes quick feet off the line but can get jammed up by bigger corners.
Analysis from NFL.com.
Where does Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr rank among Shawne Merriman's top rookie pass rushers? Watch as Merriman lists his Top 5 on "NFL AM".

text: 5 Hey Man, Nobody Said About Locking Horns With Three Tigers!MovieZone | 15/06/2010 | See all MovieZone's reviews (88)Top 10 Reviewer Top 10 DVD Reviewer This story is set during World War II in post D-Day France. The plot is a simple one, which for the director Brian G Hutton, who also directed "Where Eagles Dare", guarantees the minimum of complexity and the maximum of effect. Kelly (Clint Eastwood) captures a German colonel (David Hurst), who unintentionally tells him where the Germans are hiding $16,000,000 worth of gold bars deep behind enemy lines, guarded by three Tiger Tanks and a company of S.S guards.Recognising he is unable to take on the Nazi war-machine single-handed, he realises he's compelled to recruit some fellow conspirators, and so he talks to Master Sergeant Big Joe (Telly Savalas), the top sceptical sergeant who initially condemns the plan, but changes his mind when it becomes clear that he cannot prevent his men from going on this private mission. Murphy also seeks help from Staff Sergeant "Crapgame" (Don Rickles), the quarter master hustler who can without difficulty lay his hands on any piece of equipment or weapon; and Sergeant Oddball (Donald Sutherland), the wacky leader of a Sherman-tank squad, whose bizarre life style consists of getting high on drugs, charming women and consuming booze and to say nothing in meditating to wacky music. Oddball, in fact, virtually steals the film in his character role of a crazy woozy tank commander.If Oddball's behaviour is not enough then he also has tagging along with him, a crew of other outrageous wacky misfits. Platoon Sgt Bellamy of the 42nd Engineers (Len Lesser) is a construction officer who gets conned into going along to build a bridge for the guys, and ends up getting really screwed over by Kelly's outfit. Once the news of the gold is general knowledge, all of the diehards become less interested in winning the war, but rather pursue the idea of relieving the German army of the gold bullion concealed inside a closed French Bank. The deal for all the crew is to divide equal shares with all those participating in the operation.General Colt (Carroll O'Connor) plays the self esteemed General who sees the advanced movement as nothing more than a group of committed loyal soldiers taking the war by the scruff of the neck and penetrating behind enemy lines.The movie also features some incredible action scenes. The minefield fiasco is suspenseful and nail biting, and ultimately becomes packed with loads of gunfire and explosions. The final battle, in which the dozen or so heroes manage to eliminate a garrison of Germans in a small French village, is skilfully filmed, with some brilliant cinematography and oodles of first-class special effects. Some major aspects of this sequence were copied in "Saving Private Ryan" highlighting Tiger tanks in the street, a sniper in a bell tower, machine gun fire coming from demolished buildings, the entire general look of these sequences was to some extent copied into "Saving Private Ryan, but then they say imitation is the greatest form of flattery? Quality of picture in Blue Ray and particularly sound has been exceptionally well transferred.The storyline is credible since it stretches, but never pushes over the line of plausibility. The Lalo Schiffrin score is light-hearted fun, and the Mike Curb Congregation's "Burning Bridges" theme is a good choice, fitting perfectly with the theme of the movie.Kelly's Heroes is a witty, light-hearted WWII adventure, with no hidden messages to convey which many other war films tended to elaborate on. This movie is a timeless classic full of entertainment and originality.

Six thousand miles from the coast of the United States, a new group of ironworkers are building bridges and, slowly, their own economic futures.
SHANGHAI, China — More than six thousand miles from the California coast, Chinese workers still speak with pride about their role in rebuilding the iconic San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
It has been more than a year since they completed the last steel structures for the bridge's dramatic renovation and loaded them onto ships at the company's docks. But they say it remains the biggest, hardest, and most exacting project they have ever completed.
Just ask Zeng Ye Huan, a grinning steel polisher who, under his orange safety overalls, continues to wear a T-shirt commemorating the first shipment of steel for the bridge. Or Wang Pei, a 25-year-old welding overseer who says that the five years he spent toiling on the project "left a deep impression."
"Maybe I will be still able to remember doing it after 10 or 20 years when I can't remember other projects," he says.
Yang Zhi Gang, a nine-year veteran welder of the company from Anhui province, echoes him, calling the work "exceptionally tough" to complete because "the Americans have much higher standards."
These men are just a few of the beneficiaries of California's decision to send all the steel work on the massive, $6.3 billion renovation to China — a decision that California officials claim saved hundreds of millions of dollars.
They are the lucky counterparts of disappointed American steel workers in Portland whose employer failed in its rival bid.
And they are the face of the Chinese middle class that is rising as America's is falling.
Here on Changxing Island, at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Zhenhua has 28,000 workers, 280 cranes, and a fleet of 26 ships docked at its private port. The workshop where the US bridge was built is a cavernous building, 90 feet high and the length of two football fields. A riot of saws, echoing clangs, and hissing torches fills the air. Searing white flashes of blowtorches erupt from the welders' stations.
Like most steel companies in China, Zhenhua is majority state-owned, and is seen as strategically important to the country.
The Bay Bridge project played a particularly large role in the company's goal of growing overseas. It was the first bridge Zhenhua — largely known for making cranes — had ever built. And though the firm says it made little profit on the $350 million contract with California, it has already used that experience to expand into the European market. In August, Zhenhua shipped steel components to Norway to build a bridge with one of the world's longest spans.
That is not to say that their work was perfect. On the Bay Bridge project, flaws in the welding of the first steel shipment caused serious delays. Several hundred American inspectors took up residence in Shanghai in order to verify the quality of the welds.
"Sometimes if the Americans found that the products were not as good as they expected, they would ask why until they were satisfied as to how to fix it," says Wang.
Many analysts in California and beyond questioned the wisdom of saving public money at the expense of American workers. "America will never recover if we outsource everything, including our public infrastructure," wrote Cate Long, an analyst of municipal bonds for Reuters. "In times of fiscal stress it's easy to understand why public entities are trying hard to cut costs. But this 'cost cutting' is really just off-shoring American jobs."
Eventually, however, the project overcame its critics and delivered on schedule. In 2010, then-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger visited the plant and thanked the employees for their work.
Few projects better illustrate the rising fortunes of ordinary Chinese than this one.
More than a thousand Chinese welders were hired by Zhenhua to finish it on time. China's development — which has lifted millions of people from poverty — is in many ways the mirror image of America's loss of manufacturing jobs over the last three decades. As the United States sheds work, China's manufacturing sector has created millions of blue-collar jobs.
Companies like Zhenhua have helped create the world's biggest middle class, some 350 million strong. In turn, as these workers spend their paychecks, they are powering China's economic growth. This consumption is crucial to the country's next phase of development. The Brookings Institution has predicted that

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

For those of you that have read about my new book, Endgame, you know I make
the point that, while there are no good options for dealing with the debt
crisis, the worst choice of all is doing nothing. In today's Outside the
Box, you'll see a similar argument-but this "lesser of two evils" situation
deals with the U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq, and the ever-present Iranian
push to dominate the Persian Gulf region.
George Friedman-my friend, and founder of STRATFOR, a global intelligence
company-discusses the potential "bad options" the U.S. has in its attempt to
rein in Iran, and arrives at what he considers the least detrimental:
negotiation. The worst of course is doing nothing, thus allowing Iran to
increase its hold on the entire region-a region on which the global economy
is dependent for its oil... You can see why all this matters.
More and more, investors are realizing the importance of geopolitical risk
in their assessments. I highly recommend STRATFOR for all things
geopolitical. Right now, they're offering a hefty discount-plus a free copy

Iraq, Iran and the Next Move
April 26, 2011
By George Friedman
The United States told the Iraqi government last week that if it wants
U.S. troops to remain in Iraq beyond the deadline of Dec. 31, 2011, as
stipulated by the current Status of Forces Agreement between Washington
and Baghdad, it would have to inform the United States quickly. Unless a
new agreement is reached soon, the United States will be unable to remain.
The implication in the U.S. position is that a complex planning process
must be initiated to leave troops there and delays will not allow that
process to take place.
What is actually going on is that the United States is urging the Iraqi
government to change its mind on U.S. withdrawal, and it would like Iraq
to change its mind right now in order to influence some of the events
taking place in the Persian Gulf. The Shiite uprising in Bahrain and the
Saudi intervention, along with events in Yemen, have created an extremely
unstable situation in the region, and the United States is afraid that
completing the withdrawal would increase the instability.
The Iranian Rise
The American concern, of course, has to do with Iran. The United States
has been unable to block Iranian influence in Iraq's post-Baathist
government. Indeed, the degree to which the Iraqi government is a coherent
entity is questionable, and its military and security forces have limited
logistical and planning ability and are not capable of territorial
defense. The issue is not the intent of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki,
who himself is enigmatic. The problem is that the coalition that governs
Iraq is fragmented and still not yet finalized, dominated by Iranian
proxies such Muqtada al-Sadr - and it only intermittently controls the
operations of the ministries under it, or the military and security
As such, Iraq is vulnerable to the influence of any substantial power, and
the most important substantial power following the withdrawal of the
United States will be Iran. There has been much discussion of the historic
tension between Iraqi Shia and Iranian Shia, all of which is true. But
Iran has been systematically building its influence in Iraq among all
factions using money, blackmail and ideology delivered by a sophisticated
intelligence service. More important, as the United States withdraws,
Iraqis, regardless of their feelings toward Iran (those Iraqis who haven't
always felt this way), are clearly sensing that resisting Iran is
dangerous and accommodation with Iran is the only solution. They see Iran
as the rising power in the region, and that perception is neither
unreasonable nor something to which the United States or Saudi Arabia has
an easy counter.
The Iraqi government's response to the American offer has been
predictable. While some quietly want the United States to remain, the
general response has ranged from dismissal to threats if the United States
did not leave. Given that the United States has reportedly offered to
leave as many as 20,000 troops in a country that 170,000 American troops
could not impose order on, the Iraqi perception is that this is merely a
symbolic presence and that endorsing it would get Iraq into trouble with
Iran, which has far more than 20,000 troops and ever-present intelligence
services. It is not clear that the Iraqis were ever prepared to allow U.S.
troops to remain, but 20,000 is enough to enrage Iran and not enough to
deal with the consequences.
The American assumption in deciding to leave Iraq - and this goes back to
George W. Bush as well as Barack Obama - was that over the course of four
years, the United States would be able to leave because it would have
created a coherent government and military. The United States
underestimated the degree to which fragmentation in Iraq would prevent
that outcome and the degree to which Iranian influence would undermine the
effort. The United States made a pledge to the American public and a
treaty with the Iraqi government to withdraw forces, but the conditions
that were expected to develop simply did not.
Not coincidentally, the withdrawal of American forces has coincided with
tremendous instability in the region, particularly on the Arabian
Peninsula. All around the periphery of Saudi Arabia an arc of instability
has emerged. It is not that the Iranians engineered it, but they have
certainly taken advantage of it. As a result, Saudi Arabia is in a
position where it has had to commit forces in Bahrain, is standing by in
Yemen, and is even concerned about internal instability given the rise of
both reform-minded and Shiite elements at a time of unprecedented
transition given the geriatric state of the country's top four leaders.
Iran has certainly done whatever it could to exacerbate this instability,
which fits neatly into the Iraqi situation.
As the United States leaves Iraq, Iran expects to increase its influence
there. Iran normally acts cautiously even while engaged in extreme
rhetoric. Therefore, it is unlikely to send conventional forces into Iraq.
Indeed, it might not be necessary to do so in order to gain a dominant
political position. Nor is it inconceivable that the Iranians could decide
to act more aggressively. With the United States gone, the risks decline.
Saudi Arabia's Problem
The country that could possibly counter Iran in Iraq is Saudi Arabia,
which has been known to funnel money to Sunni groups there. Its military
is no match for Iran's in a battle for Iraq, and its influence there has
been less than Iran's among most groups. More important, as the Saudis
face the crisis on their periphery they are diverted and preoccupied by
events to the east and south. The unrest in the region, therefore,
increases the sense of isolation of some Iraqis and increases their
vulnerability to Iran. Thus, given that Iraq is Iran's primary national
security concern, the events in the Persian Gulf work to Iran's advantage.
The United States previously had an Iraq question. That question is being
answered, and not to the American advantage. Instead, what is emerging is
a Saudi Arabian question. Saudi Arabia currently is clearly able to handle
unrest within its borders. It has also been able to suppress the Shia in
Bahrain - for now, at least. However, its ability to manage its southern
periphery with Yemen is being tested, given that the regime in Sanaa was
already weakened by multiple insurgencies and is now being forced from
office after more than 30 years in power. If the combined pressure of
internal unrest, turmoil throughout the region and Iranian manipulation
continues, the stress on the Saudis could become substantial.
The basic problem the Saudis face is that they don't know the limits of
their ability (which is not much beyond their financial muscle) to manage
the situation. If they miscalculate and overextend, they could find
themselves in an untenable position. Therefore, the Saudis must be
conservative. They cannot afford miscalculation. From the Saudi point of
view, the critical element is a clear sign of long-term American
commitment to the regime. American support for the Saudis in Bahrain has
been limited, and the United States has not been aggressively trying to
manage the situation in Yemen, given its limited ability to shape an
outcome there. Coupled with the American position on Iraq, which is that
it will remain only if asked - and then only with limited forces - the
Saudis are clearly not getting the signals they want from the United
States. In fact, what further worsens the Saudi position is that they
cannot overtly align with the United States for their security needs.
Nevertheless, they also have no other option. Exploiting this Saudi
dilemma is a key part of the Iranian strategy.
The smaller countries of the Arabian Peninsula, grouped with Saudi Arabia
in the Gulf Cooperation Council, have played the role of mediator in
Yemen, but ultimately they lack the force needed by a credible mediator -
a potential military option to concentrate the minds of the negotiating
parties. For that, they need the United States.
It is in this context that the crown prince of the United Arab Emirates
(UAE), Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, will be visiting Washington on
April 26. The UAE is one of the few countries on the Arabian Peninsula
that has not experienced significant unrest. As such, it has emerged as
one of the politically powerful entities in the region. We obviously
cannot know what the UAE is going to ask the United States for, but we
would be surprised if it wasn't for a definitive sign that the United
States was prepared to challenge the Iranian rise in the region.
The Saudis will be watching the American response very carefully. Their
national strategy has been to uncomfortably rely on the United States. If
the United States is seen as unreliable, the Saudis have only two options.
One is to hold their position and hope for the best. The other is to reach
out and see if some accommodation can be made with Iran. The tensions
between Iran and Saudi Arabia - religious, cultural, economic and
political - are profound. But in the end, the Iranians want to be the
dominant power in the Persian Gulf, defining economic, political and
military patterns.
On April 18, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's adviser for
military affairs, Maj. Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi, warned Saudi Arabia that
it, too, could be invaded on the same pretext that the kingdom sent forces
into Bahrain to suppress a largely Shiite rising there. Then, on April 23,
the commander of Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Maj. Gen.
Mohammad Ali Jaafari, remarked that Iran's military might was stronger
than that of Saudi Arabia and reminded the United States that its forces
in the region were within range of Tehran's weapons. Again, the Iranians
are not about to make any aggressive moves, and such statements are
intended to shape perception and force the Saudis to capitulate on the
negotiating table.
The Saudis want regime survival above all else. Deciding between facing
Iran alone or reaching an unpleasant accommodation, the Saudis have little
choice. We would guess that one of the reasons the UAE is reaching out to
Obama is to try to convince him of the dire consequences of inaction and
to move the United States into a more active role.
A Strategy of Neglect
The Obama administration appears to have adopted an increasingly obvious
foreign policy. Rather than simply attempt to control events around the
world, the administration appears to have selected a policy of careful
neglect. This is not, in itself, a bad strategy. Neglect means that allies
and regional powers directly affected by the problem will take
responsibility for the problem. Most problems resolve themselves without
the need of American intervention. If they don't, the United States can
consider its posture later. Given that the world has become accustomed to
the United States as first responder, other countries have simply waited
for the American response. We have seen this in Libya, where the United
States has tried to play a marginal role. Conceptually, this is not
The problem is that this will work only when regional powers have the
weight to deal with the problem and where the outcome is not crucial to
American interests. Again, Libya is an almost perfect example of this.
However, the Persian Gulf is an area of enormous interest to the United
States because of oil. Absent the United States, the regional forces will
not be able to contain Iran. Therefore, applying this strategy to the
Persian Gulf creates a situation of extreme risk for the United States.
Re-engagement in Iraq on a level that would deter Iran is not a likely
option, not only because of the Iraqi position but also because the United
States lacks the force needed to create a substantial deterrence that
would not be attacked and worn down by guerrillas. Intruding in the
Arabian Peninsula itself is dangerous for a number reasons, ranging from
the military challenge to the hostility an American presence could
generate. A pure naval and air solution lacks the ability to threaten
Iran's center of gravity, its large ground force.
Therefore, the United States is in a difficult position. It cannot simply
decline engagement nor does it have the ability to engage at this moment -
and it is this moment that matters. Nor does it have allies outside the
region with the resources and appetite for involvement. That leaves the
United States with the Saudi option - negotiate with Iran, a subject I've
written on before. This is not an easy course, nor a recommended one, but
when all other options are gone, you go with what you have.
The pressure from Iran is becoming palpable. All of the Arab countries
feel it, and whatever their feelings about the Persians, the realities of
power are what they are. The UAE has been sent to ask the United States
for a solution. It is not clear the United States has one. When we ask why
the price of oil is surging, the idea of geopolitical risk does come to
mind. It is not a foolish speculation.

Walking into Milk is like stepping into a condensed version of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. There's a stand-up fridge to the left with goodies such as butterscotch drumsticks, watermelon and red velvet macaroon ice cream sandwiches and frozen strawberry shortcakes. Piled high on the counter to the right are cookies, brownies and cakes. The menu board hanging overhead lists shakes, malts, floats and the classics, which include a warm ooey gooey chocolate sundae and the blondie with vanilla ice cream, butterscotch and pecan praline. Make Your Own Ice Cream Sandwiches are $5 with about 10 cookie types to choose from as well as flavors such as jasmine, nutella, blueberry crumble pie and their most popular pick, banana dulce de leche. 7290 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles; 323-939-6455.9. N'ice Cream:
Recently voted one of the best desserts around the world by Travel + Leisure, N'ice Cream holds two prime leases in Venice: one on Abbot Kinney and the other on the boardwalk. Owners Laura Nielsen and Christian Toxboe moved here from Denmark in 2008 to open an ice cream shop, and they fell in love with Venice. Check N'ice Cream's website for a list of their 16 daily flavors, which range from fruity strawberry banana to nutty pistachio and hazelnut chip. The No. 1 order is salted caramel, but most of the flavors run low come closing time. 1410 Abbot Kinney Blvd., Venice; 310-396-7161 (plus three other locations).8. Coolhaus:
True to its name, everything is cool about Coolhaus: the handwritten names on the ice cream case; the young, stylish servers; its roaming food trucks; and flavors with names like Cuban cigar and Peking duck. The shop is petite and less than 10 people in line equals a crowd. But the ice cream sandwich, with two chunky, chewy homemade cookies on each end, is worth standing in line for. It's massive, with ice cream bulging out the sides, and makes a perfect treat for two. Popular Coolhaus picks are balsamic fig and mascarpone and salted caramel. 8588 W. Washington Blvd., Culver City; 310-424-5559.

great recipe. very succesful at our dinner party. the garlic aioli is a must with this.
Really great and easy recipe. Better than deep fried versions. I used sweet potato and cut the fries slightly smaller, and reduced the cooking time to about 35 minutes. They were great.

Like this but..." by Mrs KNIGHTS
Bought this with my pasta machine. It works well, but I have one quibble - the picture shows the lasagne beautifully cut through with nice neat edges - this was not what happened for me. The cutters seemed to have sections that did not cut through the pasta fully. I could pull the pasta apart, but it did not produce the end result as shown.There is also a strip of excess dough that is cut from the sides which is wasted really. I still like it though!

Each model goes through a demanding quality control process before leaving the workshop. Just the perfect gift for home or office decorator, boat enthusiast or passionate collector
- The U.S.S. Constitution, a three-mast frigate, is the worlds oldest commissioned warship. Built primarily with dense southern live oak, its hull was 21 inches thick in an era when 18 inches was common. Paul Revere forged the copper spikes and bolts that held the planks in place. The 204-foot-long ship was first put to to sea in 1798 and its most famous era of naval warfare was the War of 1812 against Britain, when it captured numerous merchant ships and defeated five warships, including the H.M.S. Guerriere. It was during the ferocious battle with the Guerriere that British seamen, astonished at how their cannonballs were bouncing off the Constitution's hull, cried out, "Sir, Her sides are made from Iron!" Hence, the nickname, "Old Ironsides." The Constitution today is national landmark and is docked in Boston.

Closing? Carela is lights-out for ThunderBolts
By Steve Millar For Sun-Times Media July 13, 2014 5:40PM
Daniel Carela, of the ThunderBolts, comes in for mid relief in the 8th against the Frontier Grey, Sunday, May 18th, 2014 in Crestwood. | Gary Middendorf/for Sun-Times Media
Updated: August 15, 2014 6:22AM
Daniel Carela is in his sixth season of professional baseball. The Windy City ThunderBolts pitcher has been a part of three major league organizations.
Drafted by the New York Mets in 2009, he spent two seasons in their organization before moving on to the Los Angeles Dodgers, who signed and released him twice between 2011 and 2013. He also was a member of the Philadelphia Phillies organization for part of last season.
None of those spots worked out for Carela, who finds himself back in the Frontier League for his second stint after spending most of 2012 with the Joliet Slammers.
Despite all the bouncing around, there still is plenty of passion for the game for the veteran pitcher who will turn 27 in August.
"Baseball is what we grew up with when we were little," he said. "This is what we've known since the age of 6. When I got to 16 to 17 years old, I really got into it and felt like I could make a living out of it and help my family. Any time I get a chance to play baseball, no matter where it is, I'll take it and make the best of it."
Carela has been making the best of it in Crestwood. While returning relievers Reese McGraw and Jessie Snodgrass entered spring training as the favorites to take on the eighth- and ninth-inning roles, it was Carela who surprisingly emerged as the team's closer.
"I came in with the mentality of earning a spot on the team," he said. "Throughout spring training and the early games, (ThunderBolts manager Ron Biga and 'Smitty,' pitching coach Brian Smith) felt like I was fit for the role and the situation. I took it, and from there I just had to keep doing my job."
Carela had closed games on rare occasions before this season, earning just seven saves over his first five seasons.
This season, despite limited opportunities on a last-place team, Carela has been lights-out in the role. He entered the weekend 4-of-4 in save opportunities with a 1.62 ERA and 23 strikeouts in 162/3 innings.
"There's definitely a different mind-set as a closer," he said. "You can't go into the ninth inning with the same mentality as in the first, second, third innings. There's like a button and in that situation you have to switch it on and go out there and do what you have to do."
Biga, who was on the coaching staff in Joliet when Carela was with the team in 2012, has been thrilled with his closer's performance.
"He's been excellent," Biga said. "He comes in, throws strikes and gets the job done."
Carela is from New York, but has a thick accent that reflects his Dominican heritage. His family lives in the Dominican Republic.
"It's one of my goals and one of my dreams to pitch down there one day," he said. "So all my family can come out and watch me play and see what I've been doing all these years to try to help them out."

quote:Why is it so hard for people to realize he was kicking shorter on purpose? It's not like he all of a sudden lost leg strength. He couldn't get the ball out of the end zone allowing Wilson to return it. After the first 2 or 3, he decided to put more air under it and worry less about distance to give the cover teams time to get there. Unfortunately our players continued to shite themselves regardless
quote: I was just asking about our return team in general.
