American Cancer Society Applauds CVS Caremark's Decision to Halt the Sale of Tobacco Products in its Stores
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Statement from John R. Seffrin, Ph.D., CEO of the American Cancer Society
The American Cancer Society congratulates CVS Caremark on its decision to stop the sale of tobacco products in all of its stores. This move is an important new development in the fight to save lives from the devastating effects of tobacco use.
The landmark 1964 U.S. Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health marked the beginning of a national, and now global, effort to end the tobacco epidemic. Society-funded research, public education campaigns, and advocacy efforts over more than 50 years have helped reduce the smoking rate by more than half, from 42 percent in 1964 to 18 percent today, and saved more than 8 million lives from tobacco.
But there's a lot more to do. More than 43 million people in America still smoke and tobacco will cause an estimated 480,000 deaths this year in the U.S. If smoking persists at its current rate among young adults in this country, 5.6 million Americans younger than 18 years old alive today will die prematurely from a smoking-related illness.
We know that policies that restrict access to tobacco products, reduce exposure to tobacco advertising, and limit the places that people smoke have a direct effect on reduced smoking rates, especially among youth. And that's what makes this move so significant: community pharmacists play a key role in health and wellness and CVS Caremark has taken a bold step to demonstrate its commitment to healthy lifestyles and the prevention of disease.
We applaud CVS Caremark for its leadership and strongly encourage other industry leaders to follow suit.
About the American Cancer Society
The American Cancer Society is a global grassroots force of more than three million volunteers saving lives and fighting for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. As the largest voluntary health organization, the Society's efforts have contributed to a 20 percent decline in cancer death rates in the U.S. since 1991, and a 50 percent drop in smoking rates. Thanks in part to our progress nearly 14 million Americans who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will celebrate more birthdays this year. As we mark our 100th birthday in 2013, we're determined to finish the fight against cancer. We're finding cures as the nation's largest private, not-for-profit investor in cancer research, ensuring people facing cancer have the help they need and continuing the fight for access to quality health care, lifesaving screenings, clean air, and more. For more information, to get help, or to join the fight, call us anytime, day or night, at 1-800-227-2345 or visit www.cancer.org/fight .

From what i understand, upon initial start up of your computer, you installed a Acronis then copy a full image of the factory HHD drive to a CD/DVD? or and external HHD? then after you copy a full image, you tried practice installing on the factory HHD then after you think all is ok... you installed the RAM and mSATA. then installed the restored initial image from acronis back up in msata or Samasung 830 SSD ???
a Few questions:
1. what is updating process working and what are the things that needs updating?
2. Did you still use the HHD original? if so, did you reformat the original HHD after?
Though my computer hasn't arrive yet, I hope when its here i could get all the suggestion and just try to slowly do it. Thanks
The great advantage of Acronis is that, at later points in time, you can create backup files of your main drive, each of which reflects all the changes and updates to the system up to that point.
(In any event, it is advisable to use the Lenovo procedure to create a set of factory recovery discs. You'll need 4 blank DVD-R discs for this.)
When you first turn on the computer, you can hit "Enter", which will bring up a menu from which you can get to the boot order menu. I selected the USB stick as the boot device and booted Acronis Recovery. Then I backed up the Hard Drive to the USB External Drive so I would always have the original image of the HDD before it goes through the "Running Windows for the very first time" process where you set user name, etc.
As for as updating, it's pretty simple. Windows Update will want to do some updates and restart the computer once or twice. In my case, there were also several Lenovo ThinkVantage software updates to go through as well.
After I was reasonably comfortable with the installation and after I'd made the 4 DVD recovery set, I pulled out the original HDD and put in my SSD. I restored the initial backup I'd made onto my SSD and started over.
I hope that's clearer!
1. I bought a Acronis True image DVD CD, not downloaded thru internet software. How can i put a bootable version of Acronis in USB Flash stick?
2. Before the first power up of the computer, insert the an old used USB stick and External HDD ( to put the back up ), power on the unit then press enter to go the menu, use the USB stick as the boot device and boot the Acronis Recovery. Back up the factory HDD to the usb connected HDD. After the Back up process, make a Windows Update and lenovo think Vantage software update on the factory original HDD, then make a 4 DVD recovery set using the lenovo procedure. Try installing and practice after a bit comfotable, remove the factory HDD and put in the mSata, Rams, 2 new SSD 2.5" then turn on the computer, then restore the initial backup i made from old used USB connected HDD to my msata. after restart computer then go the BIOS by pressing f12 then make the changes... msata for boot drive and 2 SSD for storage...then after... install all softwares needed like the lightroom, CAD, photoshop, sketchup, office...and others. Then connect the original factory HDD thru a 2.5 usb enclosure and format it with no partition, then use the Acronis to back up all new, new changes and updated softwares installed. Then start to load files in the storage ssd like work, photos, office doc files and others, then start using the computer..... WOULD THIS be a good process???
1. Before you install the mSATA SSD, you will have had 2 backups of the Lenovo factory image on the stock HDD: one in the form of Acronis backup file, sitting on an external HDD; the other in the form of a set of DVDs (1 boot disc + 3 data discs), conforming to the traditional ThinkPad approach.
2. After you install the mSATA SSD, you use Acronis to restore the factory image from the saved backup file onto the SSD.
3. After you set up your computing environment just the way you like it (settings, applications, etc.), you use Acronis to create a backup of your initial system image. You can have subsequent backups at intervals that you decide.
I would name the backups clearly and preserve them carefully. Finding the right file from a pile of drives can be very frustrating.
Thanks again Kaso. Copy you on that.
Hey all, looking at buying a W530 tomorrow or Monday, or a W520 quad core, to replace the one in my sig.
My question(s) and concerns to help me decide are:
The W530 I can afford comes with Win 8. I don't want win8 and will do a fresh install of 7.
BUT it seems lenovo pulled all the win8 machines and offers them in 7 now, mostly anyways.
Is this due to problems ? Issues of some sort ?
Even more important and concerning is isn't Win 8 somehow 'embedded' in the board, bios, cpu ???
I helped a friend with a new Ideapad core i3 recently that came with Win 8.
There was no coa sticker on the bottom and a genuine win 7 install disc would not run in the dvd drive no matter what.
Had to fresh install win 7 via an external dvd drive.
Is that some sort of MS drm protection of some sort ? On the dvd drive or freakin bios ??
Seems like they try to lock down the pc with win 8.
I got 7 to install on that ideapad but never felt right about it....
So bottom line, does the W530 that comes with win 8 preinstalled have the same deal or not ?
Will i be able to install win 7 glitch free ?
Thanks much !!
With the correct installation media and a valid product key, you should be able to do a fresh installation of Windows 7 on a W530. No problems. (The Lenovo drivers and applications can be downloaded from support.lenovo.com site.)Quote:
Will i be able to install win 7 glitch free ?
If Lenovo is offering a W530 config that you like and comes with Windows 7 preinstalled, you should order it.

Dhanush SoC will let smart-watches' batteries last a full month
Former Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha's mega-startup, Ineda Systems, claims it has developed a processor for wearable devices that enables 30 days of battery life under standby. Called Dhanush (presumably after the performer of that Kolaveri Di song Hindi word for "longbow"), the platform is said to consume ten times less power than the re-purposed smartphone chipsets used in the current crop of smart-bands and watches.
Dhanush features Hierarchical Computing that allows applications and tasks to run at the right power optimized performance and memory footprint and has an always-on sensor hub optimized for wearable devices. It will come in four versions, ranging between Advanced, Optima, Micro and Nano. Each is designed for specific applications and product segments. Each of these products will aim to provide 30 day always-on battery life, up to ten times less power consumption compared to the current generation of application processors, and be available at consumer price points.
Prominent vendors, including Samsung, Qualcomm, and Imagination Technologies have already poured in a collective $30 million inside the promising technology. In addition, Young Sohn, chief strategy director at Samsung, has a spot in its board of directors. Customer trials for the platform are already happening, while products based on it could be announced in the next six months.

Seems he did something right while at Motorola.
Many hated his vision for handsets....but this sounds like a game changer. Moto phones are usually good on battery life.
Makes me wonder is that part of the magic behind the Vita's long standby time.

Suddenly I get the feeling that notifications aren't really what smartwatches are meant for. I mean the screen is already too small for navigation, let alone read notifications.

quite possibly the closest thing to a DIY you'll ever see on this blog

i do a little vertical clipping when i get desperate, but that's all i have the nerve for.ReplyDeleteReplies
Same here. Vertical clipping, just to keep 'em out of my eyes. My hair is baby-fine and stick-straight, so it's pretty easy to maintain. Oh, and I recently went with my dad to the air force base and paid $5 for a tattooed barber to trim my bangs. He did a good job! They were a little shorter than I'd anticipated, but they've since grown out nicely. :)Delete
I love reading your blog and you and Cheech are adorable. Thanks for the fringe tip! I'll try a bit of trimming here and there, but I'm shy of repeating past mistakes. Though I think I'll try this method!ReplyDelete
I usually trim my own bangs as I don't like them too short - I just do the straight across method with a little tweaking here and there. Sometimes I fail, but like you my bangs grow super fast.ReplyDelete
Ok, I'm going to be bold and try this. Maybe this weekend. So, so scared, but I feel a little better with the tutorial. Thank you. :)ReplyDelete
Please Note: If you feel the need to write anything hurtful, nasty, unnecessary, or just plain mean, I will not publish it and will have no choice but to feel very sorry for you seeing as you have nothing better to do. Just sayin'...

Pribble-Jones was working for Alfy's in the corporate office and thought about owning a franchise.
"I was working at the corporate office as a marketing/advertising and administrative assistant. We mentioned that we might be interested in owning a franchise and the franchisee approached us to see if we would be interested in Granite Falls," she explains. "We live in Lake Stevens and have for 16 years and attend church in Granite Falls."
She and her husband Bob thought that owning the franchise would be great for her kids, Becca and Austin, who are both Lake Stevens High School graduates.
"We thought it was a great opportunity and a legacy we could leave to our children. The first year was extremely hard, we had so much to learn and then the recession hit and we lost a lot of money. We wondered every month if we would be able to keep the doors open," Pribble-Jones said. "This year it is better, mostly due to our management skills and getting our arms around the entire business. We have a steady staff and a great manager. Both she and her husband work at the store also.
Alfy's has donated countless pizzas to organizations including Eagle Wings Event for mentally disabled adults which took place at Father's House Church in Granite Falls. Pribble-Jones also coordinated the event for two years.
They are also known for their generosity in helping families in need, donating food coupons and pizza for youth groups to earn money for camps.
At Granite Falls National Night Out in August, Alfy's was on hand with samples of specialty pizzas they hope to incorporate into their store. Residents taste-tested different pizzas and got to choose their favorites.
The owners and staff at Alfy's is also heavily involved in the schools in Granite Falls.
Becca Pribble dressed up as a slice of pizza and read stories to the children in the EACAP program. The students even got to visit Alfy's and take a tour of their facility, receiving free pizza after the tour.
On June 2 of this year, Alfy's donated all proceeds from the pizza purchased by parents and students affiliated with the Granite Falls School Band. They raised over $356.
"We felt it is important to get involved in the community and show our support for the schools, chamber and local folks, I think this has in turn been why people have supported us," she explains. "We still hear from customers weekly how happy that they are that we have taken over the Alfy's. The restaurant is much cleaner, we have new lighting, painted, we offer a consistent and good product and our staff is friendly and helpful."
Currently, they are collecting funds for a friend of Pribble-Jones, 24-year-old Sarah Lien, who is suffering from a rare form of breast cancer.
On April 11, Alfy's held a fundraiser at their store offering free pizza and soda for anyone placing money inside the jar placed there for Lien.
They raised over $5,000 that evening.
They are continuing fundraising efforts for Lien with a Pink Ribbon campaign where customers can purchase a pink ribbon for $1, which goes directly to Lien's cancer fund. They have included all Alfy's locations in this fundraising effort.
Alfy's continues to provide great food at a reasonable price, but best of all they offer support to their community.

There are several job offers on the net that lures you into earning cash within your extra time. However, many of these adverts ask you to pay before they will teach you the trick or link to job websites which aren't actually useful. Considering that online stores are not subjected to the business expense of running a actual shop, they are in a position to retail their items at considerably lesser selling prices.
This online site is an internet marketer for ebay and clicking on the products shown here will be sending you at the ebay store. Some e-commerce websites provide products at extremely low prices. If you see an item you want on these websites, don't neglect to verify whether the webshop is genuine or just a fraudulent type. Some sellers who offer products below its actual minimum advertised price (MAP) don't seem to be really bothered when they won't get paid advertising money from certain corporations, while those that aim to earn advertising money point out within their advertisements "Price too low to print". Experts recommend that you just purchase from vendors that don't choose to adhere to MAP. Shopping carts are a fantastic feature of online shops because it allows consumer to stack items they would like to buy and pay for the merchandise in one go.
In case you have no other option but to open up a file from an unfamiliar e-mail address, make certain you currently have an updated antivirus. Save the document file to your hard drive and do not fail to scan the file first before opening it. Deceitful dealers always use bogus email addresses. Getting their particular registered telephone number may give you the benefit as you have another way of getting in touch and even tracing their company. The acceptance of credit cards as a means to pay out for merchandise is a method that supports customer rights due to the fact that credit card firms can assist their own customer whenever discrepancies take place, like in case a seller does not ship something that has been ordered. Make your payments using a credit card for products purchased online. With this, you are able to file any exploitation of your card when a hacker stole your credit card information and utilized it to generate illegal transactions.

Is my 5 1/2 year old too young for 1st grade? Will it be more beneficial or detrimental if I appeal for her repeat kindergarten because of her age?
Upon moving from U.S. to Western Australia, her "grade-level" was determined based on school system's date of June 30th as grade-level determination criteria (her birthday is late June, anyone age 5 prior to June 30 is placed in equivalent of kindergarten. She is now completing this level and will enter 1st grade in January at 5 1/2 unless I appeal. She is doing well socially and academically, but my concern is that she is the youngest in her grade level (most have already turned 6 and at least two will be 7 when new school yr starts). I don't see the need to rush her into a more structured learning situation, when if she were born only a few days later, she would be entering kindergarten and not first grade. I don't want to "hold her back", but rather allow her more time to have a less structure and more play centered day. My general question is why rush? However will it be detrimental if I don't allow her to progress with her current class; will she be bored if I appeal to have her "repeat" kindergarten or will she benefit from being allowed to have a more play-centered learning focus for another year.In Topics: School and Academics, Kindergarten readiness

Reese Energy Consulting Announces Formation Of Reese Energy Training, Inc.
EDMOND, Okla., March 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Reese Energy Consulting, one of the industry's leading energy marketing specialists, today announced the formation of Reese Energy Training, Inc., a full-service, knowledge-based provider of high-end energy training uniquely designed for virtually every level of employee–from new hires and field employees to mid-level management and executives.
Reese Energy Training is the brainchild of Steve Reese, an energy industry staple as both a professional consultant and popular instructor. With more than 32 years of natural gas and contract negotiation experience, and 15 of those years dedicated to training, Reese determined the time was right to form a second firm that offered basic, advanced and client-customized curriculums across the energy spectrum.
"After training through third-party providers for years, I looked to create an energy training company that attracted real-world professionals with the same passion I have for sharing unique perspectives and insights into today's energy industry processes, technologies and decision-making," said Steve Reese, chief executive officer of Reese Energy Training, Inc.
With clients that range from independent producers to Fortune 500 energy companies, Reese Energy Training has attracted and continues to attract some of the most recognized clients across the energy complex. The company has scheduled 17 in-house seminars this year for major exploration and production and midstream companies such as Enbridge Energy Company and Devon Energy Corporation, and continues to expand its relationship with LDC Gas Forums."We cannot say enough about Steve Reese and his programs," said Katy Flood, advisor of public affairs for Enbridge. "He is an essential investment in the development of our employees. His classes sell out quickly and we seem to not be able to offer enough of them." "Steve is an excellent resource of knowledge when it comes to natural gas," said Christy Coleman, director, LDC Gas Forums and NGL Forum. "His presentation style is second to none. He keeps everyone engaged and offers a combination of information and fun." Reese's trademarked programs, Natural Gas Basics and Gas Processing Contracts and Negotiations, have been taught to thousands of industry professionals and virtually every Fortune 500 energy firm over the last 15 years. These courses will be offered under the Reese Energy Training banner along with newly developed NGL, midstream and liquids programs. Industry veterans Wes Haun and Bud Hum have joined Reese Energy Training as course instructors, and the company currently is in talks with other world-class educators to make Reese Energy Training a single-point resource of energy training for every level of employee. "I began teaching with Steve Reese in 2000 and have really enjoyed working with him to develop and present real-world, relevant classes for natural gas mid-stream clients," said Wes Haun. "Steve is an expert on his subject matter and has an excellent rapport with the participants he instructs, which makes his courses both informative and interesting." Reese Energy Training also looks to expand its curriculum in short order to include courses in hedging and trading, oil and gas contract law, petroleum refining, electrical power, alternative energy, and others.

Newt Gingrich has a new ad up, and it's clear what he's trying to do. He's trying to get elected as Richard Milhous Reagan.
You kidz might want to crack a history book and look up the shameless scam Nixon ran in 1968. The single most divisive politician of his age Red-baiter, anti-Semite, Joe McCarthy with flop sweat and a flea circus of neuroses for a brain claimed that, one day on the campaign trail in Ohio, there had been a a young girl with a sign that said, "Bring Us Together," and that her simple plea was the basis for his campaign. Now, the odds that Richard Nixon was not lying about his intentions here are so slim as to be unworthy of serious discussion. (He wasn't in office for a full term before he was wiretapping his aides and calling student demonstrators "bums," and unleashing his penny-ante crook of a vice-president on everyone else.) He did not truly "bring us together" until the summer of 1974, in which we all got together and sent his justice-obstructing ass out of Washington on a rail. Nevertheless, in 1968, enough people bought the con and elected someone almost everyone agreed would steal soup if he got the chance.
Six years later, Ronald Reagan who, for all his many faults, was not a guy plagued by inner demons, ran for president on the platform that he was America's Grandpa who would make things all better. Four years later, after his first budget had plunged the country into the recession of 1982, and after he'd already begun illegally arming our own terrorists in Central America, something that eventually would lead to his arranging to sell missiles to the mullahs in Iran, Reagan stood for re-election on the grounds that he'd done what he promised and that it was "Morning in America" again. Nevertheless, in 1984, enough people bought the con and re-elected someone almost everyone agreed was at best dotty, and at worst, so detached from the job he was supposed to be doing that, one day, he would simply float off the Truman Balcony and away to Oz.
Now that he sees the possibility that this whole running-for-president thing might be more than simply a boost in his lecture fees, Newt Gingrich appears determined to be both of these guys.
First, he is asking us to ignore his entire career as an inveterate liar and slanderer in favor of a Newt who can bring the country together on the basis of his "big ideas," many of which are as divisive and foul as they've ever been. In doing so, he is depending upon the chronic historical amnesia of the American voter to wink out on a history of political rhetoric that makes Nixon's look like a Hallmark card. This is exactly what Nixon did in 1968.
Secondly, he's depending on the power of his "big ideas" to be the candidate to bring the country back and to bring morning to America, and to do it all in one election, whereas it took that creaky old fart Reagan two elections to do it. (Okay, I'm paraphrasing Newt's thinking here.) In doing so, once again, he is depending on the American people's belief that history is whatever came in over their BlackBerries 20 minutes ago. The Reagan Years however glorious they may have been for the plutocrats and for certain Central American despots were the beginning of all the economic trouble that's plaguing the country today. (They were so bad that they cost George H.W. Bush his job four years after Reagan had bailed.) In doing so, he is also depending on his own ability to convince the American people that he, Newt Gingrich, the man who once blamed Democrats for a twisted woman's murder of her own children, is the avatar of a renewal of national unity and purpose. I mean, holy god. And Milton thought Satan was ambitious.

For Assembly
- 2.00 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 clove(s) (1 tablespoon) garlic, minced
- 5 ounce(s) (about 6 cups) baby spinach
- 1 pinch(s) crushed red-pepper flakes
- Coarse salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 lemon, for squeezing
- 12 small Basic Crêpes
- 1/2 medium onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
- 1 ounce(s) (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, plus more for sheet
- 2 tablespoon(s) all-purpose flour
- 1.50 cup(s) whole milk
- 1.25 cup(s) (4 ounces) grated Gruyère cheese
- 1 pinch(s) freshly grated nutmeg
- Coarse salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- Make the béchamel: Place onion and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, and cook until onion is translucent and softened, about 5 minutes. Add flour, and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Whisk in milk in a slow, steady stream. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture has thickened, about 5 minutes. Add 1 cup Gruyère, and stir until cheese melts. Remove from heat, add nutmeg, and season with salt and pepper.
- To assemble: Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add spinach, and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add red-pepper flakes, and season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon. Let cool slightly. Squeeze out any excess liquid, and coarsely chop.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Reserve 2 tablespoons of béchamel. Mix remaining béchamel and spinach in a medium bowl. Butter a rimmed baking sheet. Place 1 crêpe on center of sheet, and top with 3 tablespoons spinach mixture, spreading evenly. Top with another crêpe, then 3 tablespoons spinach mixture. Repeat with remaining crêpes and spinach mixture, ending with a crêpe. Spread reserved béchamel on top, and sprinkle with remaining cup cheese. Bake until cheese melts and turns golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly, then transfer gâteau de crêpes to a platter. Cut into wedges, and serve warm.

"This is a great recipe but for the saltiness. The next time I make this I'll be cutting the salt to no more but a pinch. I'll also double the sauce~ it's delicious! This time I served it over rice but I think it would be equally great over wide egg noodles, spaetzle, or any number of pasta choices. A simple salad and a quick meal everyone will en..."
"I made this in my crock pot. I doubled the liquid ingredients and used five drumsticks, 8 boneless, skinless thighs and 4 boneless, skinless breasts cut in 3 pieces. I cooked it on low for just under 4 hours. After removing the meat I poured the liquid into a saucepan and reduced it to half then served the chicken and sauce with texmati rice. ..."

"I have been making this pie for years and have always shredded rather than cubed or chopped the squash and onion... that made it very easy to slip it past my children's lips!

"Tasty! As simple as this recipe is, I took the liberty of going a bit further and used a store-bought graham cracker crust as I didn't have the crumbs on hand as I thought. It came out delicious- next time I'll make it "the old fashioned way", but I can attest that it's very good the lazy and/or busy cook's way, too!"
"I made this casserole for a potluck dinner and it was enjoyed by all. The dish was very flavorful, creamy and responsible for a few dieters' brief fall off the wagon. Definitely a keeper."

Iran and Israel must both work for a nuclear-free Middle East.
Amid heightening tension over Iran's alleged nuclear ambitions, and at a summit, which brought together world leaders to tackle the threat of "nuclear terrorism" and the spread of nuclear materials, Obama seemed to be taking the bull by the horns.
Iran does of course have obligations. As a signatory to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT NPT National Pipe Taper (pipe thread specification)
NPT Non-Proliferation Treaty
NPT Nonprofit Times
NPT Newport (Rhode Island)
NPT Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty
NPT Neath Port Talbot ), Iran has committed to not seek nuclear weapons, in return for international assistance (and monitoring) in the development of nuclear power. Iran has an obligation to allow the International Atomic Energy Agency International Atomic Energy Agency: see Atomic Energy Agency, International.
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
International organization officially founded in 1957 to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy. (IAEA IAEA International Atomic Energy Agency. ) to inspect its nuclear facilities and uranium enrichment processes to ensure that they are being used for peaceful, civil purposes.
Furthermore, and leaving aside for now the matter of Israel's nuclear weapons, the potential regional implications of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons are enormous and place a huge moral--as well as legal--responsibility on anyone who might consider taking that state down such a path. The risk of further inflaming in·flame
v. in·flamed, in·flam·ing, in·flames
1. To arouse to passionate feeling or action: crimes that inflamed the entire community.
2. the volatile international politics of the Middle East and potentially catalysing the development of nuclear weapons by other states such as Saudi Arabia or Egypt would be a retrograde step on the path to regional (and global) peace, disarmament and stability. But Iran is not the only country with obligations. And to imply this is to only tell a part of the story. Maybe Obama's statement could be seen as in keeping with his proclaimed vision of a world free from nuclear weapons--attempting to prevent further nuclear proliferation. But when the president responsible for the world's largest nuclear arsenal preaches about the obligations of other states not to develop them, it is hard to deny charges of great power hypocrisy.
Article VI of the NPT, signed in 1968, commits the nuclear weapons states to "pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race The nuclear arms race was a competition for supremacy in nuclear weapons between the United States and Soviet Union and their respective allies during the Cold War. During the Cold War, in addition to the American and Soviet nuclear stockpiles, other countries also developed at an early date and to nuclear disarmament, and on a treaty on general and complete disarmament Reductions of armed forces and armaments by all states to levels required for internal security and for an international peace force. Connotation is "total disarmament" by all states. under strict and effective international control". President Obama has, to his credit, made diplomatic moves towards reducing global nuclear stockpiles, most significantly through the rekindling of the faltering Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) with Russia. The 'New START" agreement, signed in April 2010, was lauded as a significant step in bilateral nuclear reductions and a crucial step in fostering the global conditions in which multilateral disarmament could make progress. Indeed it was seen as some justification for the controversial awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize The Nobel Peace Prize (Swedish and Norwegian: Nobels fredspris) is the name of one of five Nobel Prizes bequeathed by the Swedish industrialist and inventor Alfred Nobel. to Barack Obama in 2009, following his visionary Prague speech earlier that year. Yet subsequent US actions have not lived up to the hope engendered by New START.
In October 2010, just months after signing the Treaty, the White House proudly declared its "enduring commitment to the US nuclear deterrent" with the announcement of $85bn to be spent on nuclear infrastructure. The White House statement was explicit, and with no hint of the contradiction between the two positions. It praised Obama's "extraordinary commitment to ensure the modernisation of our nuclear infrastructure", reflected in "plans to invest more than $85 billion over the next decade to modernise the US nuclear weapons complex that supports our deterrent". The significance of this move was made clear: "This level of funding is unprecedented since the end of the Cold War.'
Yet even this $85bn is dwarfed by the total projected spend of $700bn on nuclear weapons over the next decade by the US. The scale of expenditure is staggering: that's around 150 per cent of Iran's entire annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP GDP (guanosine diphosphate): see guanine. ), according to estimates from the International Monetary Fund.
Rather than moving away from the escalatory nuclear policies of the Cold War, such skewed priorities only serve to entrench en·trench also in·trench
v. en·trenched, en·trench·ing, en·trench·es
1. To provide with a trench, especially for the purpose of fortifying or defending.
2. the positions of nuclear weapons states, while simultaneously encouraging non-nuclear weapons states to break from their NPT commitments.
The US is of course not alone here: global spending on nuclear weapons is now estimated to be more than $1 trillion per decade, with Russia committing $70bn over the next ten years on delivery systems alone, including eight new nuclear submarines. In Britain, despite the dismal economic situation, the government is ploughing ahead with plans to spend well over 100 [pounds sterling]bn on maintaining and replacing its Trident nuclear weapons system through to around 2060.
So it should be no surprise that when Barack Obama says "Iran must meet its obligations", his words cut no ice in Tehran and much of the rest of the world. This doesn't make unease about a nucleararmed Iran any less legitimate, but it does raise serious concerns about the way in which the issue is approached by the nuclear weapons states.
Indeed, the US has arguably been pursuing policies which will serve merely to push Iran towards developing nuclear weapons.
Firstly, rather than taking genuine global leadership in tackling nuclear proliferation, the US chooses to demonstrate its "enduring commitment" to maintaining nuclear weapons, as discussed above.
Secondly, the history of US intervention and manipulation in the Middle East (and specifically Iran) and its brazen pursuit of national interests in the region have built a foundation of distrust which continues today. From its role in the 1953 overthrow of Mosaddegh to the disastrous war on Iraq and beyond, the US has alienated and threatened states which fail to comply with US policy prescriptions.
Former President George W Bush infamously named Iran, along with Iraq and North Korea as part of the "Axis of Evil" and placed them on what came to be known as the "nuclear hit list" in the US Nuclear Posture Review The Nuclear Posture Review of 2002 was the second review of US Nuclear Forces undertaken by the United States Department of Defense. The first took place in 1994. The final report is National Security Classified and submitted to the Congress of the United States. . North Korea left the NPT to develop nuclear weapons, for which it said it had a deterrent need, and has not seen direct military threats like Iran and Iraq have. It does not require much stretch of the imagination to see the lesson of Iraq for its regional neighbour. Meanwhile, the major regional power, Israel, enjoys the economic and military backing of the US, as well as an important privilege: the absence of controversy over its nuclear programme. Such double standards do nothing to draw Iran to the negotiating table.
Finally, when Iran is judged to be failing to meet its NPT obligations, the US and Israel raise the spectre of "preventative" military intervention. The past decade has seen the tragic consequences which can emerge when genuine concerns over nuclear proliferation are hijacked for cynical gain. Supposed fears over Iraq's possible development of nuclear weapons were ratcheted up and used as the catalyst for a US-led regime change operation. The parallels are clear, and while the jury is still out on Iran's nuclear ambitions, only one conclusion can be drawn: there can be no military solutions to this problem.
Neither limited air strikes on key facilities nor a full-scale ground invasion are justified or conscionable con·scio·na·ble
1. Acceptable or permissible according to conscience: "Ignoring [disadvantaged minorities] .
Israel has touted the successes of "Operation Babylon" in 1981 - which saw the bombing of the Iraqi nuclear reactor at Osirak, where Iraq was suspected of developing nuclear weapons. History has not only cast doubt on the veracity of those Israeli suspicions but, more significantly, the bombing campaign arguably accelerated Iraqi efforts to acquire a nuclear weapon in secret over the next nine years.
The more severe military option--a ground invasion--would be catastrophic on all counts. The human cost would be dreadful and the possibility of sparking a wider conflict in the region does not bear thinking about. The only option is concerted, transparent and productive diplomatic negotiations. A dispassionate dis·pas·sion·ate
Devoid of or unaffected by passion, emotion, or bias. See Synonyms at fair1.
dis·pas look at the current tensions between Iran and Israel would surely conclude that the security concerns of each state must be acknowledged in order to move towards a peaceful and sustainable resolution. Beginning dialogue on these issues is not easy, but this is precisely what needs to be done. The UN will this year be holding an important conference on a Weapons of Mass Destruction Weapons that are capable of a high order of destruction and/or of being used in such a manner as to destroy large numbers of people. Weapons of mass destruction can be high explosives or nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological weapons, but exclude the means of transporting or Free Zone (WMDFZ) in the Middle East. Convened by the veteran Finnish diplomat Jaakko Laajva, this conference aims to bring together all of the states in the Middle East to start building the groundwork for the realisation of this crucial goal. While this conference has been in the pipeline since the mid-1990s, it was only at the NPT Review Conference in 2010 that the 189 member countries called for the conference finally to take place, with the date being set for 2012.The conference has certainly been a long time coming. But with the prospect of Iran, Israel and delegates from all of the Middle East states being brought to the table for frank discussions on security and disarmament, hopes for genuine progress have emerged over recent months.
In the past month, however, Israel has declared that it will not attend the conference until there is "comprehensive peace in the region". Israel's UN Ambassador Ron Prosor stated that until this is achieved, Israel sees the conference as "absolutely not relevant". The inverted logic is bewildering be·wil·der
tr.v. be·wil·dered, be·wil·der·ing, be·wil·ders
1. To confuse or befuddle, especially with numerous conflicting situations, objects, or statements. See Synonyms at puzzle.
2. . If the US really wants to see a lasting solution to the problems of the region, it needs to exert productive diplomatic pressure and not simply ratchet up the talk of military conflict. It could start by suggesting that Israel, as the only nuclear armed state in the Middle East. should attend this vital conference.
