Ontario Editorial Bureau (O.E.B.)
Robert Scott Misener Steamships began in 1914 when an ambitious Scott Misener turned to the seas as the value of his land investments plummeted with the war. Misener began with the purchase of a share in the ship the Overland in 1917 which could carry a load of 1,000 tons. Two years later Misener sold his share and was able to purchase the Simon Langell, a much larger ship. In 1919 Misener officially had his own steamship company. He and John O. McKellar, an engineer from the Overland, sailed the Langell for three years together. In 1921 the pair purchased their first steamer the Claremont, a turning point for the company. By 1928 the team had the financial backing of John J. Boland of Buffalo, N.Y. This support allowed them to acquire more ships and further establish themselves as a respectable Great Lakes shipping company. As they were building up their company John North McWatters of Sarnia joined them and brought along his financial savvy to carry them through the depression. During the 1940s and 1950s Misener purchased as well as merged with several other shipping companies expanding his fleet into 34 ships. As the company grew so did the draw to the Great Lakes. It had become the world's most important waterway. After establishing a thriving company Scott Misener died in June of 1963. His oldest son Ralph succeeded him and continued bringing the company success. He joined the Board of Directors for the company when in 1970 J.N. McWatters took over as President. In 1976 the third and final generation of Miseners Scott A. Misener, the oldest son of Ralph Misener, took over the company and remained President until 1981. In 1978 the company name changed to Misener Transportation Limited to reflect the changing dynamics of the company and water transportation. During the early 1980s shipping demands were changing and many Lakers were not seeing a full season of sail. Things picked up again in 1983 when 3 new fleets were added opening up deep sea trading. Once again during the early 1990s things began slowing down for the company. In March 1994 the remaining ships of the Misener fleet were divided between Algoma Central Marine and the Upper Lakes Group Inc.

These instructions are also published on our website titled HOW TO GET WHAT YOU WANT.
For instructions on how to use Arduino to program ATtinies, please look at the following links. This Instructable will only explain how to build the programming shield.
Arduino as ISP >> http://www.kobakant.at/DIY/?p=3742
Arduino board as ATtiny programmer (by Dave Mellis) >> http://hlt.media.mit.edu/?p=1706
Programming an ATtiny w/ Arduino 1.0.1 (by Dave Mellis) >> http://hlt.media.mit.edu/?p=1695
There is also a really nice Tiny AVR Programmer now available from Sparkfun (designed by Dave Mellis) that does the same thing even more compactly >> https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11460
Video of "ATtiny Arduino Shield Programmer" in action
Step 1: Materials and Tools
- Perforated circuit board
- Male and female headers
- Wire
- 10uF capacitor
- Arduino Uno or Duemilanove (with an ATmega328, not an older board with an ATmega168!)
- ATtiny45 or 85
- Cutter knife
- Cutting mat
- File
- Wire cutters and stripper
- Soldering iron
- Helping hand
Step 2: Cut Circuit Board to Shape
Step 3: Solder Male Headers
Video: Soldering headers to perforated circuit board:
Before continuing, make sure the board with headers fit into your Arduino.
Step 4: Disconnect Circuit Traces
Video: Cutting connection on a perforated circuit board:
Does this ATiny85 chip need a bootloader? Or can you program one bought straight from the Atmel store?
Taken from the author's website:
Burn BootloaderTo set the clock speed of your ATtiny to be faster (8Mhz) than the default 1 MHz.
- Select "ATtiny45 (8 MHz)" from the "Tools > Board" menu
- Select "Arduino as ISP" from the "Tools > Programmer" menu
- Select "Burn Bootloader" from the "Tools" menu
So yes you can buy some ATtiny85 anywhere, you will be able to burn the bootloader with this programming shied here :)
This does not burn Bootloader (source: hackable.fr ) but does set some ""fuse"" to the desired value
you need no bootloader ! just folow the right tutorial to use arduino as ISP with attiny85
Does the capacitor really need to be 10uF? Or will 1uF also work, because I only have 1uF capacitors.
Have we somehow skipped the part where the second set of four parallel female jumpers on each side of the Tiny are added? It's trivial to do, but...
To connect the sensors and actuators that the sketch in the atTiny needs to read and control
Can anyone explain to me what an ATtiny actually is. I'm just in my first year computerscience and haven't seen these.
Thanks for the practical Instructabile and the inspiration to take it a step further.
Idea already taken :(
Lol I like it!
Thanks for always doing great things!
This is where I have used the idea http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/marc-cryan/blinky-fish

KANPUR: Contrary to predictions, the city witnessed scattered showers during the wee hours on Thursday. However, the sun gave respite to the people, who were anticipated of one more round of cold wave.
There was no major change in the mercury level. The sun played hide and seek with the clouds in the afternoon. The sky later became clear.
Last year also, the city received heavy downpour on February 16.
There was a slight dip in the maximum temperature on Thursday. It stood at 22 degrees Celsius, one degree below normal. The minimum temperature was 11.3 degrees Celsius, four degrees above normal.
The weatherman cited north westerly winds and temperature variation as the reasons for rainfall.

Visited Greenwoods Spa twice booked both dates November and December, same time on special offer unfortunately. The initial reception staff were quite hostile on arrival. Swimming pool had exercise class going on in it which stopped swimmers using. Steam room had no steam! Lounging beds were filthy. Restaurant staff came into the Spa area to fill up icebuckets from ice that had been used to rub bodies down in sauna area! Notice insisting protective covers on outdoor shoes but staff didnt use.

Smile and The World Smiles With You PTR
Okay Hi everyone - after silently stalking everybody elses trip and pre-trippies I thought I'd make my own! Plus it gets me aware from that dastardly pile of coursework and revision.
TBH It's probably at bit of a boring read at the moment since we havn't got any details finalised but hey ho I can try Oh and I'm a bit of a rambler as I'm sure you'll be able to tell so just point me back on track when you see me going off on a tangent. So the reason for the title is because thats my motto in life, it's even lasered onto the back of my ipod (seriously) and hopefully will be how we live this trip. By 'we' at the moment it stands at just the two of us Me Princess Emma: 17 years old. Been to Orlando/Disneyworld/Universal etc, once before 6 years back when I was 11.* See footnotes for more info - sounds like I'm writing a novel. And have always adored theme parks of all kind, I'm a bit of a thrill seeker but also a sucker for a magical ride with amazing theming. Anyway DLP is the destination of this trippie and is somewhere I've never been actually, but man I wanted to go so bad when I was a kid I used to look mournfully at those adverts...but to no avail. Now I'm old enough to pay my own way and get there I'm telling you I'll walk through the gates and turn into a 6 year old again Princess Lucyrincess: 17 like me is, my trusted companion and steed. Has never been to Disneyworld/land but like me loves her theme parks and is a Disney freak. I reckon she'll be blown away when we get there. Moving on I should get onto how this holiday came to be. Well to celebrate exams a group of us at school wanted to do something special, much discussion and throwing around of ideas was had and up came DLP. Nothing much was said, till I mentioned a few months later the idea to Lucy. We utilised the computers in our frees at sixth form (honestly we were using our study time effectively....us girls need to de-stress at times) and found the prices wern't astronomically high and well within our reach - I work and my friend has a stash of money somewhere all legit honest it was inherited! We mentioned the idea to people but by this time we'd already decided we'd rather keep it with just us two and maybe a couple more. I could not handle organising more people. But it soon ended up with everybody wanting to be 'invited' and I'm dubious whether all those who said 'yes' really do mean a 'yes,yes' or a 'yes, sounds fun I really wanna go nevermind the fact I can't afford it' kind of yes - are you with me So we're just going to tell them the dates we'll be there and if they want to come they can sort it out themselves, although our cast might grow if some of my other close friends join (one is leaving for DLP in a few days but shes concerned about the money, and not really wanting to go 7 months after shes already been, crazy I know!) So onto the main details Dates are June 30th-July 3rd Earliest we could get after exams ended, plus we're at Glastonbury 24th-29th. The plan is to leave Glastonbury Monday morning, or possibly Sunday evening. Get back home sort our things out, ideally we'd want to catch the train to London Monday night, and stay in YHA in Pancreas overnight but if we're leaving Glastonbury Monday we really don't have the time especially considering we're going to need a super power shower to get us squeaky clean for Disney and not killing every living thing within a 10m radius with our 'festival smell'. Hotel wise, I think we'd both quite like to stay onsite, although we have been tempted by some of the offsite ones. At the moment Hotel Cheyenne is top runner, but is fighting off stiff competition from offsite Dream Castle Any advice on where we should stay is greatly recieved While we're there we probably wont do many proper sit down meals, maybe the odd one or two. I've promised myself Rainforest cafe - however on the whole we can largely survive on quick snack meals and the like, and at the we're girls on a budget so it's going to depend on how much we end up taking in spending money. I think thats about it for now, we've not got anything booked at all, and I think we won't until after Christmas as I still ave glastonbury to pay off, plus I do ALOT of extra hours over Christmas so will be able to afford it. But I'm glad Summer price are now up, so I can get definite figures. So to conclude, we're both really super excited about this trip. It's going to be a big final bonding trip as come September will be waving goodbye as we depart for different uni courses (whether I even get a place on my uni course is a different matter...but anyway I digress) Just cant wait until we finally book it and it all becomes definite *Greatest most amazing holiday of my life. Sadly in a family of 6 trips like this don't come around often, and we havnt been back (or anywhere on holiday excusing centre parcs since then) 3 of us kids, a house to pay and the arrival of kid 4 put a stop to that. But we are going back in 5 months time we're finally making it and I can't wait! Would attempt a PTR on that trip but I really don't know much about it due to my parents being in charge of it, all I know is the date we fly and that we're staying in a villa It all came about when the iea of a proper holiday started being bandied about last Easter we all put forward our ideas, and florida seemed to be everybodies! We didn't really want to go in Summer and Christmas was out of the question as it's my chance to work a lot of hours which I didn't want to miss so Easter was booked - 26th March - 13th April. I'm a bit concerned that I will be missing 7 days of school so close to exam time, but the school have told me they will grant me the holiday I just have to make sure I get all my work. So I'll have that + revision with me while I'm there. It might ruin the holiday spirit a bit, but has to be done otherwise I'll be crying come results day! |

Sounds like a fun trip is planned. I wish my son (also in Year 13) was so organised that he could plan a trip for himself and work to pay for it! Good for you.

sounds great! btw - if you get a chance you could get the train from DLRP to Val d'Europe and there's a great shopping centre in there with a big supermarket in it. you could buy loads of food from there and take it to the parks.. we sometimes take baguettes into the parks and sit on the tables and chairs overlooking Dumbo in Fantasyland.

Thanks for the tip Princess Elli sounds great!
We were also considering the hotel near the Val D'Europe the name escapes me, so thats another reason to stay at that one. |

How I Came to Know Incredulity
Posted by Michael Baumann, Wed, October 12, 2011 11:32 AM Comments: 41
It took me five days to write this post, so I want to take you back to Friday night.
I feel like I ought to explain how I came to be sitting alone in my bedroom, tears welling up in my eyes, listening to "Nearer My God to Thee" over and over on Spotify. If you're reading this, you've most likely done whatever approximates, for you, sitting in your pajamas, mourning the passing of the most remarkable regular season Philadelphia has seen in a generation, all while listening to the song the band played while the Titanic went down.
If anyone has a better idea, I'm open to suggestions. The pain has hardly dulled in the interim.
What hurts is not so much that it's over–that was likely to happen at some point, no matter the means. It's not the possibility of not seeing Jimmy Rollins, Ryan Madson, Roy Oswalt, or Raul Ibanez put on red pinstripes ever again. Neither is it watching your franchise first baseman and cleanup hitter end this season with a weak groundout, then possibly end next season (for him at least) with a torn Achilles tendon, all on the same play. Or the pain of seeing your team lose, though as a 24-year-old, I really shouldn't be moved to tears by a baseball tea m losing. But I am. I'm not counting down the days to next season. I'm not getting more amped up for Flyers hockey, or the Eagles, or Arsenal, or South Carolina, or any of the other teams I follow rabidly–that is to say, with about 2/3 the tenacity and emotion with which I follow the Phillies–or even looking forward to the rest of the MLB postseason.
Friday's loss was a gut shot for two reasons: first, because this season represented a bread-and-circuses-type distraction that we all need from time to time. When your world is not a pleasant place to live in, sometimes you latch on to whatever is going right and give it undue importance–in this case, the Phillies. Now it's over, three weeks early and without even a moment's notice. Second, because as much as I've tried to be hyper-rational and prepare for the worst, it never actually occurred to me that the Phillies wouldn't win the World Series.

I live up in Northern Iowa, and just got my garden tilled. Now it's been raining, or I haven't been home to plant.
Is it too late for potatoes? I have had them for a few weeks, with good intentions. They are the red Pontiac kind. Thanks for any advice or info! MonaRae |

We've been wondering when conventional watchmakers would jump into the smartwatch game. Timex, a company that's no stranger to advanced wrist-mounted functionality, appears to be the first. They've adapted some of the technology first seen in the Qualcomm Toq developer device into the IronMan One GPS+. This watch combines the features of GPS watches that have been popular with runners and bikers for years with typical "smartwatch" functions like email alerts and an MP3 player.
If you've been eyeing the Qualcomm Toq, but $350 was a bit much for your taste, it might be time to take another look. Qualcomm just dropped the price of its smartwatch by a Benjamin, leaving it at a more palatable $250 with free shipping. This puts the full-color wearable at a mere $1 above the price of its closest competitor, the black & white-only Pebble Steel.
The timing may not be a coincidence after a report from Bloomberg suggested HTC is making a smartwatch based on the Toq and plans to show it off at Mobile World Congress.
Samsung isn't saying exactly how many Galaxy Gears have been sold, just that it shipped 800,000. The Qualcomm Toq is going to be a much more limited in scope. Qualcomm is only going to make about 100,000 and now is your chance to get one. Yes, as promised, the Toq is on sale direct from Qualcomm starting today.
The Toq will be $50 more expensive than the Galaxy Gear at $349.99.
Samsung just unveiled the much-rumored Galaxy Gear smartwatch, but that's far from the only new smartwatch about to hit wrists around the world. Qualcomm, the company best known for building the ARM chips powering most modern Android devices, has just announced the Toq smartwatch. The Toq (pronounced 'talk') will be compatible with Android 4.0.3 and higher, but does not appear to run Android itself. Unlike the Gear, Qualcomm is promising the Toq will get multiple days of battery life from a single charge thanks to its Mirasol screen.

Kuwait Airways offers tour to prove fleet is safe
Kuwait Airways has taken the unusual step of opening up its airport base for a media tour in an attempt to shutdown talk that the airline is unsafe.
An online video that appeared to show a Kuwait Airways aircraft in turbulence due to engine malfunction was recently uploaded to the internet.
The airline said it was filmed during a routine training course.
Last month a local newspaper reported that a Kuwait Airways passenger plane used blankets and bed sheets to block an air leak in an emergency door during a flight from Thailand to Kuwait, causing panic among passengers. No one was injured.
In 2012, a Kuwaiti lawyer called for the airline's entire fleet to be suspended for safety reasons a day after the government grounded five aircraft.
"The malfunctions at Kuwait Airways planes pose a serious danger to passengers' lives while the government has failed to take any measure," lawyer Hawra Al Habeeb said at the time.
Kuwait Airways chief executive manager Ahmad Kreebani said rumours about the airline's safety record affected its reputation.
"Even the press sometimes exaggerates some small problems which occur normally with any airline and describe it as a huge problem," Kreebani said during the media tour on Wednesday, Kuwait Times reported.

This was sublime. The combination of shallots, dry white wine, mustard and shallots is wonderful together. I agree with others that baking time for the salmon is a bit long. Next time I will start the potatoes and then sauce, place these together in the oven while cooking the salmon. Then add the salmon to the baking dish allowing approx. 10 mins to meld.
Very nice recipe 1-25-14. Healthy and delicious. Maybe our oven is very powerful (we roasted on the convection setting) but the time suggested for the fish in the oven is far too long. The fish will be destroyed if you roast it for 20 minutes. I gave it 5 or 7 minutes in the oven. However, the potatoes, shallots and ¿sauce¿ could use a few more minutes, but more than 10 minutes and it will evaporate completely. As others suggested, substitute white wine vinegar instead of cider vinegar. Double or triple the amount of tarragon. Double the amount of spinach. Serve in large wide bowls.
Bland and not good. I really wanted it to work because we have a lot of salmon in the freezer. I was dissapointed.
This was fantastic, I used a little more tarragon bc I love the flavor. The broth was flavorful and the salmon moist. I could see adding a little sautéed garlic next time. This could adapt to any fish stew type recipe. Great for a cold New Year's Eve dinner with friends!
This was delicious. I followed the recipe to a T. The salmon was moist and flavorful. Great all in one dinner.
I was a little worried given some of the less enthusiastic reviews. But it was absolutely fantastic! Granted, I used marjoram rather than tarragon (mistake with the spice cabinet) but kept to the recipe otherwise. We all enjoyed it tremendously. Thank you!
I agree it needs a little more flavor. It was good but not great. I used good quality everything but it needs more. I added lots of salt at the table but should of added more than I did during cooking. I am not sure what else would have helped.
We didn't care for this recipe. The flavors and texture of this just didn't work for us.
Made this again last night for the first time in about a year. Still great. Still shows well for dinner guests (which mine was for a client). Learned a few new adjustments that I'll be making on my go rounds: Yes to White Wine vinegar instead of Cider however either the quantity need be reduced or you need to reduce the liquid for much more time than recommended (I reduced 1 1/2 tbls in the wine for about 15 mins). I added salt and pepper to the end broth, which is not on the recipe but very effective. Also, I used Rainbow Chard and found that to be a more complex and crisper leaf for this dish. I imagine that leafy kale or any other chard would do well. I also think that the next time I make this I'm going to add a bit more mustard for a richer texture (I used whole grain). Though I used Marlborough Sav Blanc, I'm not sure it was necessary to use that specific of a dry white.
I would definitely make this again. As for the folks who say this is not flavorful, I can only guess that they didn't season the sauce in addition to seasoning the salmon or that they used sub-par ingredients... I paid attention to a few other comments and used a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and Maille whole grain mustard. I didn't have fresh tarragon, so I used dried (half the amount of fresh). I also used homemade chicken broth. The dish was pungent and flavorful... Holy moly. The potatoes and spinach are a nice accompaniment, but other veggies could easily be subbed.

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.
ISRAEL/TURKEY/EGYPT - BBC Monitoring quotes from Turkish press 8 Sep 11

The following is a selection of quotes from articles and commentaries
published in the 8 September 11 editions of Turkish newspapers:
Prime Minister Erdogan's upcoming visit to Egypt
Milliyet (centrist) "Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan wants to cross
into Gaza through the Rafah border gate during his visit to Egypt which
he will make on 12-13 September. If the prime minister crosses through
that gate, he will be the first head of the government to visit the
region since Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007. Wanting to have this
title and starting initiatives to achieve it are in line with the Middle
Eastern activism of the Erdogan government's foreign policy."
(Commentary by Kadri Gursel)
Hurriyet (centre-right) "Next week Prime Minister Erdogan starts a trip
for the Arab Spring. The first stop is Egypt. From there, he thinks
about crossing into Gaza. There are common strategic interests between
Egypt and Israel. The impression I get is that Egypt is not sympathetic
to the Gaza trip [of Erdogan]. Actually, Erdogan leaves an open door,
too. 'We will discuss this after we meet with Egypt,' he says. That will
become clear in Cairo, but Egypt does not want to overshadow its
relations with Israel." (Commentary by Yalcin Dogan)
Yeni Safak (liberal, pro-Islamic) "By taking along the Egyptian
officials with him, Erdogan's visit to Gaza will cause a shocking impact
on the whole world. It will cause uproar from the peoples of the region,
and the new Middle East equation will be formed over Gaza. The speech
that Erdogan is expected to deliver in Tahrir Square will not be only
addressing the Egyptians, but the whole world and Middle Eastern
peoples. In this regard, it will be a call that will overshadow the
famous speech of US President Barack Obama in which he addressed the
Islamic world." (Commentary by Ibrahim Karagul)
Turkish-Israeli relations
Vatan (centrist) "There is no direct 'clash of interests' between Turkey
and Israel. The issue is the Gaza blockade and as an extension of this,
the Israeli army's attack on the relief ships departing from Turkey.
This attack is not the first mark in the box of crimes in the report
card of the Israeli 'state'. Ankara is completely right in demanding an
apology and payment of indemnities by Israel after this incident and
this demand is completely natural." (Commentary by Okay Gonensin)
Sabah (centre-right) "Actually, the [UN] Palmer report also accepts that
Israel which attacked the Mavi Marmara ship was wrong and used
disproportionate and unnecessary force... [So] Turkey is a hundred per
cent right. But does it have the power to finish the role of 'Israel as
a spoilt child' as Erdogan calls it? There are those who say, 'It is
worth trying' and those who are concerned because 'we would pay the bill
in an unnecessary way'." (Commentary by Nazli Ilicak)
Zaman (moderate, pro-Islamic) "Undoubtedly, the realization of the
freedom of navigation in the East Mediterranean, which I think is one of
the most important articles of the package [announced by Turkey against
Israel], has already emerged as a regional and global issue. Within this
framework, this article presents a Turkey that stands against Israel,
which has been acting as it wished in the East Mediterranean for years,
seizing the ships that it viewed as threats and seeing the region almost
as if it was its own property." (Commentary by Fikret Ertan)

Welcome, London first-years
The Skidmore Writing Center and the Office of the First-Year Experience are initiating a new program this fall that will allow you to take advantage of the kind of writing support the on-campus Writing Center offers. Although you are thousands of miles and several time zones away from Saratoga Springs, you and your writing can benefit from working with the peer tutors in the Writing Center, as so many students have.
For many students, the first semester of college can be both exhilarating and daunting. The writing you are asked to produce may seem particularly challenging [in relation to the writing you have grown used to in high school]. We can help you face these challenges with greater confidence. Even very skilled first-year writers—in fact, most writers of any age—profit from an open conversation about the task at hand and the ways that task might be addressed.
All Writing Center tutors are Skidmore students who have been trained to guide other students in becoming more self-aware and adept writers. Five of these tutors will be available in fall 2014 to assist you in your writing endeavors. You can find their photos, biographies, and contact information.
Here is how to use the program:
- When you receive an assignment or have completed some writing—whether a complete draft or not—in response to an assignment, you can contact all five tutors at this email address: email@example.com.
- Send your assignment and your writing as attachments. You can let the tutors know whether you prefer comments within the body of the text (perhaps in bold or caps or both] or a track-changes program.
- The tutor who will work with you will send you an email to identify himself or herself.
- Because of the six-hour time difference (London is six hours ahead of Saratoga Springs), you will need to send papers you seek help with at least three days before the date the paper is due (four days would be preferable). If, say, the paper is due on Monday, you would send your request for tutoring and your materials by Friday early afternoon London time—even better, by Thursday early afternoon London time. The tutor would return the materials with comments by Saturday night London time, to give you at least Sunday to consider the tutor's comments and work on the paper.
As you can see, the long-distance process requires some planning ahead. Let us assure you that practice in such time management will benefit you greatly throughout your time at Skidmore.
We want to ensure that you have access to peer tutors who understand your writing concerns, who can listen (virtually) to you, and who in collaboration with you can help you to discover and express your ideas. We want to give you as much as possible a sense of the community of writers the Writing Center aims to promote and maintain. By using the Writing Center in your first semester, you will already be familiar with one of the college's most important resources.
We look forward to working with you.

SYRIA/IRAN - Syrian Envoy: Damascus-Tehran Ties Unbreakable

TEHRAN (FNA)- Syrian Ambassador to the United States Imad Mustapha said on
Thursday his country highly values relations with Iran, and reiterated
that no one can hurt the strong ties between Damascus and Tehran.
Mustapha told Al-Manar television that certain parties have always wanted
"to separate relations between Syria, Iran and the Resistance, but to no
He added that Syria will not "sacrifice its relations with honorable
parties in the region."
On Saturday, the Arab League decided to suspend Syria, which did not
attend Wednesday's meeting in Morocco. Following the decision, Qatar's
prime minister and minister of foreign affairs Hamad bin Jassem bin Jabr
al Thani told reporters that 18 countries had agreed to the suspension,
which would take effect on Wednesday. Syria, Lebanon and Yemen voted
against it, and Iraq abstained. The Arab League will also introduce
political and economic sanctions against Syria.
In response, Syria denounced the Arab League's decision as "illegal and a
violation of the organization's charter".
Yussef Ahmad, Syria's envoy to the Arab League, denounced the move as
illegal, saying his country has already implemented an Arab peace deal
that it previously agreed to, and accused the US of ordering the
He also charged that the regional bloc was trying to "provoke foreign
intervention in Syria, as was the case in Libya".
"It was clear (the decision) was decided through a US order," Ahmad said,
accusing the Arab League of working to an "American agenda".
US President Barack Obama praised the League's move and France said it was
time for international bodies to take more action against Syria's
The Syrian ambassador to the US blasted Qatar for the AL move, and said
Qatar is "only a tool" and a "spearhead" in the scheme against Syria.
Mustapha said that Syria is looking into the Arab League's suggestion to
send observers to Damascus.
"We are objectively looking at issues. We will positively (address)
matters that serve Syria's interest," he added.
During an Arab League meeting held on Wednesday in Morocco, League chief
Nabil al-Arabi voiced hope that the move to send about 500 observers to
Syria "would bear fruit within days".

The central mantra of President Obama's campaign is false. That mantra is: "The Republicans tried their plan for the economy and it failed. I tried a new plan and it worked."
As I pointed out on National Review Online yesterday, the facts are otherwise. Closing out his fourth year in office, President Obama has an 8.3 percent unemployment rate. He also boasts the lowest rate of participation in the labor force in 30 years (63.7 percent). More Americans are out of work than at any time in the preceding 30 years. There are 7 million more persons in poverty than when he took office, a jump from 39.8 million to 47 million. When pressed to explain these figures, the president points his finger at the state of the economy when he took office. That's his excuse.
But the reasons for the 2008 economic calamity were set forth at least eight years before its onset by colleagues of mine at the American Enterprise Institute, led by the prescient, intrepid, and persistent Peter Wallison.
Wallison and the others did their best to strip the disguises off the darling ideas about housing held by Democrats Barney Frank in the House and Christopher Dodd in the Senate. Through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, those two and other Democrats (with a minority of Republicans) were force-feeding government-guaranteed mortgages to borrowers who had no reasonable chance to keep up with monthly payments. Such borrowers would never before have been approved for mortgages. These empty-headed, thoughtless (albeit well-intentioned) approvals undermined the whole U.S. (and world) financial sector.
Just who did not pay their fair share of the income taxes under George Bush in 2008? The top 10 percent? Does Obama really mean that paying 70 percent of income taxes all by themselves is not enough? Does he really mean that the top 10 percent should pay something approaching all the income tax, for the whole population? And that the bottom half should contribute almost nothing?
Bush began his presidency in the mild recession he inherited, which was exacerbated by the dramatic collapse of the dot-com bubble. Far worse than that recession were the orange balls of flames exploding from the Twin Towers on 9/11. In ashes and in smoke, heroes worked by lights against the darkness to pull the many dead bodies (and, amazingly, a few still-living ones) from the foul-smelling rubble.
That act of terrorism crippled the U.S. airline industry — it made millions of us afraid to fly for some weeks — and wrecked tourism, the restaurant industry, hotels and entertainments, some banks, and the stock market for many months to come. It caused the U.S. economy to lose a trillion dollars. It weakened the reserves of the financial industry. It taught the world how much damage could be inflicted by so small a blow — so primitive a blow — to a vast, complex, interrelated modern economy.

Pretty nice highlighter...

Pretty nice highlighter...
I'm really not a fan of capped anything, so I buy the capless (knock) when I can. This highlighter isn't as bright as something like the Stanford Accent , But still a nice color. Unlike the Accent, it doesn't smear, so that is a plus. Looks very nice (as a nice as a highlighter can look), a clean translucent white with the color clip and push mechanism. Speaking of.. the push mechanism feels a teeny bit too long, as you have to push it a full inch to open the pen.. it just feels awkward. The highlighter also has a very hard tip, so if you are careful, you can get very nice wide lines. And write something fairly thin if you need to make a note (no need for a dual tip or separate pen). But if you ever just want to use this as a marker for a bored doodle, it will squeak. Even though ink flow is fine, it sometimes gives off that dry tip feel when it glides across the paper. Overall... I like this highlighter and will use it as my #1, but when it comes time to get another, I may explore other options. 2 people found this helpful
