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.

DOHA | Fri May 27, 2011 10:29am EDT
DOHA (Reuters) - Palestinians are not seeking to isolate Israel on the
international stage, but will pursue their unilateral drive for U.N.
recognition of statehood unless peace talks resume, President Mahmoud
Abbas said on Friday.
He was in Doha for a meeting of Arab states on Saturday called to discuss
U.S. President Barack Obama's latest ideas for reviving the moribund peace
process and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's negative response
to them.
The Arab League will almost certainly endorse any suggestions put forward
by the Palestinians, and in an interview with Reuters, Abbas said
negotiations remained the best option for bringing about the creation of
an independent state.
"We will review ... the steps we will take -- persisting with negotiations
as the fundamental way to achieving a resolution," Abbas said. "If we fail
in reaching this solution, then we confirm that we will go to the United
The Palestinians currently have the status of U.N. observers without
voting rights, but are hoping that at September's General Assembly they
can persuade other nations to accept them as a sovereign member.
Both Netanyahu and Obama have criticized the move, and although U.S.
opposition means the Palestinians have very little chance of success, the
Israelis fear the maneuvering will leave them looking increasingly
vulnerable on the diplomatic front.
"Israel believes that if we go to the United Nations we will work to
isolate it and delegitimise it," Abbas said.
"This is not at all possible because we do not want to isolate Israel or
to delegitimise it. On the contrary, we want to co-exist with it," he
U.S.-brokered talks between the Palestinians and Israel broke down last
September in a dispute over continued Jewish settlement building in the
occupied West Bank.
In a bid to break the deadlock, Obama said in a major policy speech last
week that a future Palestinian state should be based on the borders as
they existed on the eve of the 1967 Middle East, with land swaps mutually
agreed with Israel.
Netanyahu immediately rejected the proposal saying it would leave Israel
with "indefensible" borders. But Abbas described the idea as "a foundation
with which we can deal positively."
Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh told Reuters in an interview that
Israel will not gain security by clinging to territory beyond the 1967
West Bank frontier.

You Didn't Lose All That Money On Swaps Because You Are Bad At Investing And Risk-Management
By Jon ShazarYou lost it because banks are monopolistic monsters. Just ask an affiliate of a corpse and a German state bank. Read more »
The thing about antitrust law is that it's so understandable. Not in the sense that a human can easily understand antitrust law, particularly, just that it's easy to understand where the people who violate it are coming from.1 This EU antitrust case against 13 banks for "colluding to prevent the lucrative global business of trading credit derivatives from moving onto regulated exchanges and away from markets controlled by the banks themselves," for instance. Like, here you are in 2006 or whatever, and you're a big bank, and you've built yourself a nice little business buying and selling credit default swaps. This generates information and that information is useful; it's even more useful if you share it with your other CDS-trading friends. So you and your big-bank friends and your ISDA and your Markit get together to share trade data, just like those guys did under that buttonwood tree that one time. Once you've got trade data, for instance, you can make an index, and so you can trade index CDS, which means you can move from having a weird niche product to a macro credit product, and it is good. Also you can gouge customers because, y'know, it's OTC and stuff.
Anyway one day an exchange comes to you and says "we'd like to take all your data and use it to massively undercut you on price and drive you out of this lucrative little business you got here, whaddaya say?" And so obviously you say no. Read more »
Last week ISDA, who are in charge of credit default swaps, circulated some proposed changes to CDS to account for all the Greek, Argentine, SNS, everything unpleasantness. This prompted me to try out my one journalistic technique – calling1 ISDA and asking them to send me a copy – but they declined, so we'll just rely on this research note from JPMorgan's Saul Doctor and Danny White. Here's the gist:2
ISDA will publish a list of "Package Observable Bonds" (POBs) based on size, liquidity, maturity and governing law. The proposals suggest that there could be one domestic and one international law bond in each of the following silos – a) 1-3 years, b) 3-12 years, c) 12-30 years – based on a set of rules that determine the largest and most frequently traded bond in each silo. An initial POB will remain as such unless, prior to the Credit Event, it no longer meets the deliverability criteria, is called/matures, or is reduced below a threshold. New bonds would be added when a particular bucket is empty.
If a Credit Event occurs (Restructuring or other Credit Event) and a POB has been restructured into a package, then that package, in its entirety, will be deliverable into the auction. For example if a POB with a notional of $100m is written down by 50% and the remaining portion converted into 50 shares, then the 50 shares could be delivered against $100m of CDS. If there is more than one package on offer, then the one that has the highest subscribers will be chosen. All obligations meeting the deliverability criteria remain deliverable as long as they were issued prior to the Credit Event.
So lots of people have been calling for this for a long time – me least of all, but also real people like the Managed Funds Association and Darrell Duffie. But you get a sense from that summary of how it's more complicated than dopes like me think. Read more »
Yesterday the Second Circuit held arguments in the Argentina sovereign debt case. This case is … I mean, you kind of had to be following along, but quick summary: back in the day Argentina defaulted on some old bonds, and exchanged most of them at a discount into new bonds, which it's been making payments on. Elliott Management bought a bunch of old bonds, which Argentina has not been making payments on, and sued Argentina to make them pay the old bonds pari passu with the new ones. Elliott won in a lower court, and then sort of won on appeal, and then Argentina raised some mind-melting consequences in the lower court, and then Elliott won again anyway, and now it's back up on appeal again, and the oral arguments were yesterday. Also there's a boat.
It sounds like yesterday's hearing was sort of a nightmare for Argentina, though the nice thing for Argentina is that, as a sovereign nation, they have the option of waking up:
"We are representing a government, and governments will not be told to do things that fundamentally violate their principles," Jonathan Blackman, a lawyer for the deadbeat South American country, told a Manhattan US appeals court.
"So the answer is you will not obey any order but the one you propose?" Judge Reena Raggi asked.
"We would not voluntarily obey such an order," replied Blackman — who later said Argentina would be no more likely to obey a US court than the US would be to obey an Iranian court.
If you get to choose whether or not to obey it, it's not so much of an order. Read more »
CDS, what is wrong with you? Here is how CDS should work:
- There are bonds.
- You buy CDS that is supposed to pay off if something goes wrong with the bonds.
- Something goes wrong with the bonds, insofar as they default.
- Like so:
- So you scoop up a Defaulted Bond, hand it to the CDS seller, and he hands you back the face amount of the bond.
- He's stuck with the Defaulted Bond, and effectively loses the difference between the face amount of the bond and the value of the Defaulted Bond.
In the modern world here is what often happens:
- There are bonds.
- You buy CDS that is supposed to pay off if something goes wrong with the bonds.
- Something goes wrong with the bonds, insofar as they poof into some weird garbage-y thing or assortment of garbage-y things.
- Like so:

Many forces are converging in the options markets--exchanges with multiple execution venues, the coming of age of institutional trading, increasing pressure from crossing networks and dark pools, the need for speed to attract algorithmic traders, a variety of pricing models, increased retail interest in options--and that's just the beginning. How are market professionals and new players navigating these changes? What role will the SEC play? Will the pace of change continue or slow down?

Native Americans: a bibliography of resources in the Bentley Historical Library
This bibliography endeavors to list all manuscript collections in the Bentley Historical Library reflecting the history and culture of Native Americans in Michigan. The difficulty in adequately documenting Native Americans lies in the fact that the history of Native Americans is transmitted through artifacts and through an oral tradition intimately bound with a living culture rather than in the letters, diaries and other written documents that we associate with other groups and which are routinely collected by archival agencies like the Bentley.
Much of the material is small and scattered and difficult to use for systematic research, but we hope that when used in conjunction with other materials in this and other repositories and with non-archival materials, these items may illuminate the way for the diligent researcher. Much of the material listed here reflects Indian life and history as seen by white observers-explorers, missionaries, traders, travelers, authors, government officials. Many of the items are most useful, perhaps, for observing white attitudes about Indians in a given time, for understanding popular American myths about Indian life or for studying white attempts to destroy or change Indian culture. Much of the material documents the formulation of government policy toward Native Americans and the relationship between the cultures generally.
The Bentley Historical Library publishes this bibliography in order to describe the holdings of the Michigan Historical Collections and to encourage research in the topic. We also hope to focus attention on the importance of locating and preserving source materials so that they can be made available for research. The advantages of cooperation among collecting agencies are highlighted by the prominent role of microfilm in this bibliography. The Michigan Historical Collections hopes to advance preservation, research and cooperation and seeks the assistance of all those interested in documenting fully the Native American experience in Michigan.
This bibliography was originally compiled by Mary Jo Pugh in November 1979 and has been updated and adapted for the web by Polly Reynolds and Len Coombs in December 2005.

Who could mind?
We're sitting in Club 404, a 53-year-old bar in the heart of Denver, a town that's suddenly turned into America's new-age sin city, a place where vice is very nice -- if, in fact, it qualifies as vice at all. Last fall, Denver was toasted as "The Drunkest Big City in America" by Men's Health magazine, and while the stated reasons for that honor did not cite Rich, who founded Modern Drunkard magazine here in 1996, they certainly should have. He's about to crisscross the country on a book tour, touting this town's liquid assets as he talks up The Modern Drunkard: A Handbook for Drinking in the 21st Century, a malted manifesto already bubbling up the Amazon charts.
And just three weeks ago, Denver voters stunned poll watchers and pundits by passing Initiative 100, which legalizes the possession of less than an ounce of marijuana in this city. The Make Denver SAFER campaign was led by Mason Tvert, a 23-year-old from Phoenix who graduated from the University of Richmond in May 2004, moved to Boulder in January and pulled off the upset of the election season, taking this town one toke over the line. He, too, is crisscrossing the country, talking about his victory and helping other groups strategize similar campaigns.
But right now, Denver's viceroys of vice, these two sultans of sin, are meeting for the first time.
Round One
"You didn't have to attack alcohol," Rich says, hoisting a glass of PBR.
"The logic behind the campaign," Tvert explains, "was simply a method for pointing out the hypocrisy of many people within our system and the irrationality of many laws. I wholeheartedly do not have a problem with alcohol."
"You obviously do," Rich fires back. "Have you ever read your website?"
"I wrote it."
Rich pulls out a file of pages he's printed off SAFER's site, pages full of screeds and stats pointing out the hazards of alcohol. For Rich, drinking isn't all fun and games -- although his book is full of both. He has his own sets of stats regarding the healthful aspects of alcohol.
"Less harmful and more harmful does not mean better or worse," Tvert responds.
"That's exactly what it does," Rich says.
"Alcohol is more harmful than marijuana," Tvert insists.
"How is alcohol more harmful?" Rich asks.
"You can overdose on it."
"You can overdose on aspirin."
(Were this discussion being fueled by marijuana rather than beer, at least the voices would be lower -- and slower. Already, my cramped fingers are aching to pop the top off an aspirin bottle.)
"Alcohol saves more lives than it takes away," Rich continues.
"Alcohol safer than marijuana? That's statistically impossible," Tvert counters, then tones it down. "I think we do agree that whether it's alcohol or marijuana, they are drugs that people want to use; they do have benefits. They also have potential harms. I never say that marijuana is harm-free. Never. I always say that the policies that keep marijuana illegal while keeping alcohol legal are more harmful than policies that would allow people to use marijuana as well as alcohol."
"I support the legalization of marijuana. I think most drinkers do," says Rich. "Drinkers are more laissez-faire about legalizing pot than your average person."
Round Two
Another PBR later, Rich is no more laissez-faire about SAFER's anti-alcohol campaign. "It reminds me of two beleaguered swimmers in the social current, and one of them is trying to stand on the other guy's head to save himself," he says.
"The idea wasn't that we were attacking alcohol so much..."
"Oh, come on."
Hey, Tvert insists, he would have liked to have run a pro-marijuana campaign. But the billboard company wouldn't let him use the message "Marijuana is SAFER than alcohol" because it wouldn't permit the word "marijuana." And it was the city that told SAFER the ballot measure couldn't be called the "Alcohol/Marijuana Equalization Initiative." So, yes, alcohol wound up the heavy, but all he was looking for was equal treatment under the law: If alcohol is legal, then marijuana should be, too.
Without the alcohol angle, Tvert points out, "there would have been no media coverage at all." And even negative coverage -- say, of the time Tvert called Denver mayor John Hickenlooper a "drug dealer" because he owns bars, or of a proposed SAFER billboard showing a battered woman that made it look like Initiative 100 was simply an attempt to put more cops on the street -- helped the cause.
"This is Denver," Rich disagrees. "Voters could read the word Œmarijuana.'"
In the drunkest big city in America, who's going to vote against a little pot?
But Tvert doesn't back down. "I never lied once," he says. And besides, the campaign worked: "Marijuana wasn't legal before, and now it is."
For Tvert, this is just the beginning. He's gotten calls from politicos around the country. "Everyone is polling to find out what the hell happened," he says. He's just back from the national Drug Policy Alliance Conference in California -- "There was no discussion of alcohol there, because alcohol is a legal drug," he notes -- and next he's off to Washington, D.C., where he'll see friends and maybe do a little politicking. Then it's back to Colorado, where he'll pick up the pro-marijuana campaigns he introduced on the University of Colorado and Colorado State University campuses this past spring. Although both schools changed alcohol policies after students died on campus, "they're still doing things wrong," Tvert insists. And soon he'll be talking with Sensible Colorado, an outfit that wants to push for legalizing marijuana statewide in 2008. "We'd like to help them see that through," he says.

I know that I don't everything, but I also know that I'm not naive. My motto is that if I don't know it today, I might know it tomorrow. |
When I first saw that quote, I also was thinking "WHAT???? But since Bucky Fuller is one of the men whose life I admire, it only took seconds to catch his drift. More than anything he was an innovator who was light years ahead of his time. You may know him as the designer of the geodesic dome. He summed up that quote by supposedly ' divesting himself of false ideas and "unlearn" everything he could not verify through his own experience'. IOW becoming naive to jump outside the box for inspiration instead of building on what others had designed before him. Some of our most astounding discoveries have been achieved by becoming naive to the already assumed theories and starting off on a path somebody else might consider fruitless. |

Description is a little misleading, a bit surprised to receive only one speaker instead of two. Also, the color is definitely different from the photo used on the website. Nonetheless, great little speaker!! Would have been 5 stars instead of 4 if the description and colors were better. Will probably pick up another as a stocking stuffer for someone.
Originally I had the little pair of walnut sized iHome speakers I purchased several years ago. They were discontinued, so when I managed to break the wire on one of them, although the other still works perfectly, I thought I'd better see about a replacement. My need was for small size, runs long on a charge, and good sound. By good sound I mean range, not just high and scratchy, plus a certain amount of volume. Stereo was not a big necessity since the main use is listening to audiobooks. I ended up with 3 or 4 duds. Then I found this little beauty. This one not only is small, but it holds a charge and has good sound without having to run the volume all the way up. The sound has good quality too. I don't use it for listening to classical music, but it reproduces a nice range so there is no tinny, scratchy sound. I often end up with it in my packet with the iPod so I can listen while I move around without having to wear earphones.
These little speakers really carry a punch. The sound quality is excellent. We're all hooked on them. They Hollywood scene is giving them away in gift bags at upscale events.
The best speaker to get for the price its very loud for a little speaker.
quality, loud for a little speaker and packs up well. It doeshave a little hissing when sound is on but low, but not bad. Price good and well worth it.
Small but truly mighty and the price is a steal compared to the big box stores price on the same item. Quality of sounds from High to Lows is amazing considering the size of this speaker. Don't miss out, buy it NOW!
I wasn't sure about how It would sound when I ordered, but, I thought it seemed like a good design, so I gave it a shot. I received it today and I like it.. already recommending it to friends. The sound is good, considering the small package. The accordian part of the speaker is a chamber where the sound as a chance to play and mingle before it comes out a grid on the top. I played different types of music through it today, and played with the volume. It would be hard to be disappointed with this for $20. I did get a miniscule bit of feedback buzz with it for a nano second. I wasn't able to investigate why at the time.
This little speaker is easy to hook up and has good sound. I attached to to my ACER chrome book, which has notoriously horrible speakers. Just listened to some jazz and it was wonderful. My chrome book is not bluetooth enabled, so I had to go with a wire connection. So this speaker is perfect for me, plus I can use it with other devices.
Needed something for our cabin...doesn't take much room and provides great sound!
First of all the speaker is pretty small. But it has very good quality for its size and its great for traveling. I've used the speaker for about 1 hour everyday for about a month and I have yet to charge it. The speaker is plenty loud and has good base. I definitely recommend it. In fact, my roommate is getting one now that he has used mine.

"Dirty Dancing" is a classic if there ever was one.

Various locations of events.
Various shots of a small twin-rudder single-engine experimental aircraft with a pusher propellor being rolled out onto a runway, taking off and in flight. Location of events unknown - could be Finland?
Several shots of canaries in rows of cages at a Continental exhibition hall. C/Us of canaries as we hear them 'singing along' to 'The Monastery Garden'. A cameraman lifts off the front of a canary cage and films the birds with a motion picture camera. Good shots of canaries; one of them looks like he is wearing a toupee!

Yoga on the Run
By Paige Greenfield
One of the great things about yoga is that each pose counteracts all of the stresses and abuse you put your body through—whether it's hunching over a computer keyboard for nine hours or pounding the pavement for fifteen miles. The poses get deep down into your sorely tested, tightened muscles and lengthen them back out while restoring blood, oxygen, and fuel. Simply adding a few poses to your post-run routine or taking one or two weekly yoga classes will help increase flexibility, prevent injuries (by strengthening the muscles around your joints to improve stability), speed recovery, and even improve speed through increased range of motion.
Want more proof? Look no further than these three runners who have used yoga to benefit their running. One runner practices poses post-workout, which improved his marathon time and erased IT-band pain, though he has never taken a yoga class; another found that opening her hips, hamstrings, quads, and calves was the antidote to leg cramps that once made her walk to the finish line; and another discovered that Bikram's heat and series of postures healed an injury that nearly ended his running career.
Get these runners' workouts:

People gathered in San Luis Obispo Saturday to honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice while serving and protecting others in San Luis Obispo County.
Sheriff Ian Parkinson and Board of Supervisors Chairman Adam Hill presided over Saturday's dedication of the "Wall of Honor." It honors the lives of four sheriff's personnel who died in the line of duty as part of Police Officer Memorial Week.
Christopher Meadows was a Cal Poly grad and volunteer EMT. He was killed while responding to a call at the Oceano Dunes two years ago.
"This is a tremendous honor for our family," said Tim Meadows, Chris' Father. "It's an incredibly hard circumstance, but I think Chris would have been pleased to be honored for his service."
Meadows was the first member of the Search and Rescue team to be killed in the line of duty.

Posted on 11/06/2007 5:19:20 PM PST by F15Eagle
It is the most disturbing element in the mix that makes Pakistan the most dangerous country in the world: its stockpile of at least 30 and perhaps as many as 45 nuclear weapons. And it is always the element that captures the most attention from US intelligence officials.
The United States has essentially let Pakistans nuclear arsenal grow over the past three decades, as succeeding governments in Islamabad have supported US policies in neighboring Afghanistan, first in thwarting the Soviet occupation and then in driving out the Taliban and al-Qaeda.
Still, the fear is that in the chaos that regularly afflicts Pakistan, al-Qaeda or other jihadis will somehow gain control of one of the weapons, some of the highly enriched uranium that forms the core of a bomb or the technology to make a bomb -- or even gain control of the government.
Its always been easier to steal a government in Pakistan than to steal a bomb, said one former senior US intelligence official.
It is not an abstract concern, one driven by war game scenarios. There have been two incidents in the past 20 years that call into question who controls the weapons, controls the technology.
Indeed, the incidents offer chilling precedents to what could happen now in a chaotic Pakistan. One is what Benazir Bhutto called a nuclear coup in 1990, while the other is knowledge from intelligence that al-Qaedas top leaders, including Osama bin Laden, met with Pakistani nuclear scientists in Afghanistan just before September 11 and offered the terrorist group advice on how to build a crude nuclear device.
For better or worse, the US is confident that it knows where the Pakistani nuclear arsenal is located and that it is secure. ... US secretly provided ... codes that prohibit unauthorized detonation.
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.msn.com ...
There was one author on John Bachelor the other night that claimed the Pakistan nuclear test in the 70s was actually a test for the North Koreans.
Yeah. We've let Iran's and North Korea's nuclear programs grow as well. Why we didn't snap our fingers and stop them I just don't know.
MSM idiot.
Pakistan didn't get nukes until the 1980s or 1990s IIRC- the tests in the 1970s were done by India.
Yeah I don't know what he expected us to do. We weren't at war with them. Of course, Dr. Khan could have had an "accident". We now see the fruits of his work in NK and Iran.
Way too expensive when a semi truck loaded with NH3/fuel oil yields about the same.
A few outsiders are worried as well.
We have a winner!
Thus the migration from Iraq to Pakistan by Al Qeda.
My bad.
28 May 1998: Pakistan detonates five nuclear devices. Pakistan claimed that the five nuclear tests measured up to 5.0 on the Richter scale, with a reported yield of up to 40 KT (equivalent TNT)
That's enough to level much of the downtown a medium-sized city I should think. 2-1/2 to 5+ times the size of the Hiroshima yield.
And the coup by Mushy was only about a year later. That's pretty interesting. I remember when in happened in 1999 (at least I think that's correct).
Oh joy!
Welll, that's as a direct result of India's, so the U.S. would have had to have done something about India — which would make it all the harder (to do something about two countries at the same time). That wouldn't have gone anywhere.
At any rate, what the U.S. better not be doing is criticizing Musharraf for his suspension of the democratic government or else the U.S. is going to find a bunch of al Qaeda people in charge of the nukes over there...
Star Traveler
Yes I think we have to support Mushy. I don't see any other choice.
It's the post-Mushy world that really, really concerns me.
Uber-jihadist gets access, finds some pro-Osama types in Pak Army sympathizers, places it in a cargo vessel and sails it into New York's harbor.
Here's an interesting article that came by e-mail to me, from Stratfor ( http://www.stratfor.com/ ).
By George Friedman
Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf declared a state of emergency over the weekend, precipitating a wave of arrests, the suspension of certain media operations and the intermittent disruption of communications in and out of Pakistan. As expected, protests erupted throughout Pakistan by Nov. 5, with clashes between protesting lawyers and police reported in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and several other cities. Thus far, however, the army appears to be responding to Musharraf's commands.
The primary issue, as Musharraf framed it, was the Pakistani Supreme Court's decision to release about 60 people the state had charged with terrorism. Musharraf's argument was that the court's action makes the fight against Islamist extremism impossible and that the judiciary overstepped its bounds by urging that the civil rights of the accused be protected.
Musharraf's critics, including the opposition's top leader, former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, argued that Musharraf was using the Supreme Court issue to protect his own position in the government, avoid leaving the army as promised and put off elections. In short, he is being accused of staging a personal coup under the guise of a state of emergency.
Whether Musharraf himself survives is not a historically significant issue. What is significant is whether Pakistan will fall into internal chaos or civil war, or fragment into smaller states. We must consider what that would mean, but first we must examine Pakistan's underlying dilemma — a set of contradictions rooted in Pakistani history.
When the British conquered the Indian subcontinent, they essentially occupied the lowlands and pushed their frontier into the mountains surrounding the subcontinent — the point from which a relatively small British force, augmented by local recruits, could hold against any external threat. The eastern line ran through the hills that separated Bengal from Burma. The northern line ran through the Himalayas that separate China from the subcontinent. The western line ran along the mountains that separated British India from Afghanistan and Iran.
This lineation — which represented not a political settlement but rather a defensive position selected for military reasons — remained vague, driven by shifting tactical decisions designed to secure a physical entity, the subcontinent. The Britons were fairly indifferent to the political realities inside the line. The British Raj, then, was a wild jumble of states, languages, religions and ethnic groups, which the Britons were quite content to play against one another as part of their grand strategy in India. As long as the British could impose an artificial, internal order, the general concept of India worked. But as the British Empire collapsed after World War II, the region had to find its own balance.
Mahatma Gandhi envisioned post-British India as being a multinational, multireligious country within the borders that then existed — meaning that India's Muslims would live inside a predominantly Hindu country. When they objected, the result was both a partition of the country and a transfer of populations. The Muslim part of India, including the eastern Muslim region, became modern Pakistan. The eastern region gained independence as Bangladesh following a 1971 war between India and Pakistan.
Pakistan, however, was not a historic name for the region. Rather, reflective of the deeply divided Muslims themselves, the name is an acronym that derives, in part, from the five ethnic groups that made up western, Muslim India: Punjabis, Afghans, Kashmiris, Sindhis and Balochis.
The Punjabis are the major ethnic group, making up just under half of the population, though none of these groups is entirely in Pakistan. Balochis also are in Iran, Pashtuns also in Afghanistan and Punjabis also in India. In fact, as a result of the war in Afghanistan more than a quarter century ago, massive numbers of Pashtuns have crossed into Pakistan from Afghanistan — though many consider themselves to be moving within Pashtun territory rather than crossing a foreign border.
Geographically, it is important to think of Pakistan in two parts. There is the Indus River Valley, where the bulk of the population lives, and then there are the mountainous regions, whose ethnic groups are deeply divided, difficult for the central government to control and generally conservative, preferring tradition to modernization. The relative isolation and the difficult existence in mountainous regions seem to create this kind of culture around the world.
Pakistan, therefore, is a compendium of divisions. The British withdrawal created a state called Pakistan, but no nation by that name. What bound its residents together was the Muslim faith — albeit one that had many forms. As in India — indeed, as in the Muslim world at the time of Pakistan's founding — there existed a strong secularist movement that focused on economic development and cultural modernization more than on traditional Islamic values. This secularist tendency had two roots: one in the British education of many of the Pakistani elite and the second in Turkish founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who pioneered secularism in the Islamic world.
Pakistan, therefore, began as a state in crisis. What remained of British rule was a parliamentary democracy that might have worked in a relatively unified nation — not one that was split along ethnic lines and also along the great divide of the 20th century: secular versus religious. Hence, the parliamentary system broke down early on — about four years after Pakistan's creation in 1947. British-trained civilian bureaucrats ran the country with the help of the army until 1958, when the army booted out the bureaucrats and took over.
Therefore, if Pakistan was a state trying to create a nation, then the primary instrument of the state was the army. This is not uniquely Pakistani by any means, nor is it unprincipled. The point that Ataturk made — one that was championed in the Arab world by Egypt's Gamal Abdul Nasser and in Iran by Reza Pahlavi — was that the creation of a modern state in a traditional and divided nation required a modern army as the facilitator. An army, in the modern sense, is by definition technocratic and disciplined. The army, rather than simply an instrument of the state, therefore, becomes the guarantor of the state. In this line of thinking, a military coup can preserve a constitution against anti-constitutional traditionalists. If the idea of a military coup as a guarantor of constitutional integrity seems difficult to fathom, then consider the complexities involved in creating a modern constitutional regime in a traditional society.
Although the British tradition of parliamentary government fell apart in Pakistan, one institution the Britons left behind grew stronger: the Pakistani army. The army — along with India's army — was forged by the British and modeled on their army. It was perhaps the most modern institution in both countries, and the best organized and effective instrument of the state. As long as the army remained united and loyal to the concept of Pakistan, the centrifugal forces could not tear the country apart.
Musharraf's behavior must be viewed in this context. Pakistan is a country that not only is deeply divided, but also has the real capacity to tear itself apart. It is losing control of the mountainous regions to the indigenous tribes. The army is the only institution that transcends all of these ethnic differences and has the potential to restore order in the mountain regions and maintain state control elsewhere.
Musharraf's coup in 1999, which followed a series of military intrusions, as well as attempts at secular democratic rule, was designed to preserve Pakistan as a united country. That is why Musharraf insisted on continuing to wear the uniform of an army general. To remove the uniform and rule simply as a civilian might make sense to an outsider, but inside of Pakistan that uniform represents the unity of the state and the army — and in Musharraf's view, that unity is what holds the country together.
Of course the problem is that the army, in the long run, reflects the country. The army has significant pockets of radical Islamist beliefs, while Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), the military's intelligence branch, in particular is filled with Taliban sympathizers. (After all, the ISI was assigned to support the mujahideen fighting the Soviets in the 1980s, and the ISI and other parts of the army absorbed the ideology). Musharraf has had to walk a tightrope between U.S. demands that he crack down on his own army and his desire to preserve his regime — and has never been able to satisfy either side fully.
It is not clear whether he has fallen off the tightrope. Whatever he does, as long as the army remains united and he controls the corps commanders, he will remain in power. Even if the corps commanders — the real electors of Pakistan — get tired of him and replace him with another military leader, Pakistan would remain in pretty much the same position it is in now.
In simple terms, the real question is this: Will the army split? Put more broadly, will some generals simply stop taking orders from Pakistan's General Headquarters and side with the Islamists? Will others side with Bhutto? Will ethnic disagreements run so deep that the Indus River Valley becomes the arena for a civil war? That is what instability in Pakistan would look like. It is not a question of civilian institutions, elections or any of the things we associate with civil society. The key question on Pakistan is whether the army stays united.
In our view, the senior commanders will remain united because they have far more to lose if they fracture. Their positions depend on a united army and a unified chain of command — the one British legacy that continues to function in Pakistan.
There are two signs to look for: severe internal dissent among the senior generals or a series of mutinies by subordinate units. Either of these would raise serious questions as to the future of Pakistan. Whether Musharraf survives or falls and whether he is replaced by a civilian leader are actually secondary questions. In Pakistan, the fundamental issue is the unity of the army.
At some point, there will be a showdown among the various groups. That moment might be now, though we doubt it. As long as the generals are united and the troops remain under control, the existence of the regime is guaranteed — and in some sense the army will remain the regime. Under these conditions, with or without Musharraf, with or without democracy, Pakistan will survive.
Star Traveler
Just about anything that comes from the MSM is suspect!
The weather used to be exempt... but with Global Warming becoming the Left's new Holy Gospel, even the daily forecast is tainted by the MSM--
This is also the case in Latin America, where junta formation is usually the act of an exasperated army commandanture in response to political paralysis in a nominally democratic state immobilized by the typically Latin obduracy, enmities and pretensions of dynastic and access-capitalistic personalismo politics. (This political style goes all the way back to the Roman Republic.)
Good post, thanks.
Did anyone see the path for terrorists to get into the USA. It is not rocket science - Cuba -> Mexico -> Short drive up and you are across the border from Tijuana and points beyond that with no checks.
Our leaders will get us killed. Any country that does not secure its borders cannot survive.
Yeah the border situation is just outrageous in the wake of 9/11. There's no telling how many sleepers came across undetected. Obviously, many were already here before 9/11.

Cute and could be helpful for lots of outdoor uses!
DIY Potting bench plans!
7 - 2x4 @ 8 feet long (Cedar or exterior treated works best for exterior applications, but well sealed lumber can also work if properly treated and maintained)
1 - 1x6 @ 8 feet long
1 - 1x3 @ 8 feet long
1 - 1x2 @ 4 feet long
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
10 - 2x4 @ 36" (Shelf Boards)
4 - 2x4 @ 19 1/2" (Shelf Supports)
2 - 1x2 @ 19 1/2" (Center Shelf Support)
2 - 2x4 @ 36" (Front Legs)
2 - 2x4 @ 48" (Back Legs)
2 - 1x6 @ 39" (Top Shelf)
2 - 1x3 @ 39" (Back Supports)
Begin by attaching the shelf boards to the side supports as shown above. Choose exterior decking screws installed correctly (see packaging) to prevent water damage. If you have a Kreg Jig™, you could also fasten from the underside and completely hide all screw holes. Take care to ensure that both (Yes, make two) shelves are square. Glue is advisable.
Mark the center underside of the shelves as shown above. Attach the center support with 2" screws.
Mark the back legs 36" from the bottoms. Then to hide your screw holes, attach the shelves to the legs as shown above from the insides. Predrill and countersink all screws.
First things first, make sure that you potting bench is square by measuring diagonally accross the back and leveling the legs with a level. You should do this at every step.
Back supports are necessary to keep the project square. You could also do simple cross bracing for the bottom if you prefer that look. The most important part is that you 1x3s supports are flush to the top of the shelf tops, and you screw into legs, shelf boards and shelf supports.
Attach the top shelf side supports to the top shelf as shown above. Trim corners off to avoid a sharp outside edge. And your potting bench or gardening station is done!

I was just looking yesterday for plans for a cute potting bench. This is PERFECTO - and BEAUTIFUL. Thank you SO much!!!
thundermomma replied on Permalink
I will definetly be adding this to my list. I see it with bin attached to the side to hold small gardening tools and gloves, or a shelf off of one side with notches for holding tools. Great plan!!
I can definitely see this holding an ice chest and some snacks and cups out by the pool! Now I have to decide whether to build this or Nat's loft bed next. Decisions, decisions! :)
Yay!!! A potting bench is my next project, so I've been hoping you'd post plans for one! Woo hoo! Thank you Ana!
DawnJoy replied on Permalink
This is awesome. So, so easy to follow. I really have no more excuses for not digging in and building. That's a YAY!!
kindlekat replied on Permalink
I remember requesting these plans over on the old forum. What an absolute delight to see them posted now!! THANK YOU ANA for what I'm sure will be a fantastic project! I look forward to building it, as well as modifying it to include an outdoor sink. See, THESE are the plans I knew could exist, not these complicated, difficult-to-read plans you see all over the rest of the internet.
Yay spring!
Ana White replied on Permalink
I know this is such a simple humble plan, but wanted to get it up before the season is over! Please, I can't wait to see brag photos! I have intentions to create a longer potting station which will become a bar/bbq area in the summer but the way Alaska seasons go, it'll be too late for some of you!
Oooooooooooooh! I may hold off on building this then! :) We're knee-deep in the middle of a kitchen remodel (hubby and I are ripping out cabinets as we speak) at the moment so I wasn't going to build this potting bench for about a month. Any idea when your "longer" potting station will be available? :) :) :)
Tsu Dho Nimh replied on Permalink

What week have they scheduled summer for? I forget if it's the second or third week of July.
Love the bench, and will be making one of cedar for my BBQ area.
Emma replied on Permalink
Hi Ana, I am in love with your site - and very excited to start projects.
I have an old window pane (white shabby chic) 3 foot by 2 foot and would love to use it as the back-plate of the potting bench. Do you think the design of the potting bench above could work to accommodate this adjustment.
I got the idea from the pottery barn magazine - http://www.potterybarn.com/products/potting-shed-bar/popup/more-views.html
This will be my first project - so not sure if I am being too adventurous.
Tsu Dho Nimh replied on Permalink
Where the boards are attached to the back, in step 5, replace the top two boards with your window.
Make the bench narrower, if necessary, so your window is wide enough to cover the back.
Cidzz replied on Permalink
Hi, I really liked the pottery barn potting bench link that you had shared and also liked your idea of incorporating an old window pane in this potting bench plan. Can you please share pictures if you have implemented your idea.

I just started this project today and noticed that the 2 - 1x6 @ 6 1/4" top shelf side supports are missing from the cut list. No big deal, but thought you'd want to add them for completeness.

I attempted this project (my first wood project :) and it turned out great. Although I measured funny in some places and the skill saw did not seem to cut straight (not my fault right? :)it turned out great. All the pieces were a little off but they were off to together so it all fit perfectly. Couple of things I noted. Because I wanted a simple bench I did not use the wood glue, wood filler, primer, paint, or sand paper. And for newbies wanting to know you use way more 2 1/2 screws than 2. My mistake was in buying equal amounts of them. I love the bench and it's perfect. Thank You.
Quintin79 replied on Permalink
Love the bench. It's beautifully simple. I'm going to make it for my mother in law. But have th idea of making supports under the table top for a small plastic bin to silde in like a drawer to catch all the dirt thats spilled.

"Dallas Willard, a man from another 'Time Zone,'" by John Ortberg

Everybody across the spectrum, and in between, had nothing but praise for the life and work of the author Dallas Willard, who passed away this week. John Ortberg, pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church, reflects upon Willard's life and influence, both personal and global:
Dallas kept eternity before us in a way no one else quite has. And today he has stepped into the eternal kind of life in a way he never has before.
"Third use of the law? No, something better," by Chaplain Mike
Internet Monk
God's law is multifaceted. On one hand, it restrains sin in society (Rom. 13:3–4). On the other hand, it is a mirror of God's perfection and our sinful imperfection. Christians readily agree with this understanding of God's law; however, there's a debate over its use as a guide in the Christian life.
With this post, Chaplain Mike lays out a convincing argument why the law should not serve as a source of motivation in our life and why Jesus' gospel should serve as the means of guidance and motivation in the Christian life.
