New Revised Standard (NRS) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 We have heard with our ears, O God, our ancestors have told us, what deeds you performed in their days, in the days of old: | 1 We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us what you did in their days, in days long ago. |
2 you with your own hand drove out the nations, but them you planted; you afflicted the peoples, but them you set free; | 2 With your hand you drove out the nations and planted our fathers; you crushed the peoples and made our fathers flourish. |
3 for not by their own sword did they win the land, nor did their own arm give them victory; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your countenance, for you delighted in them. | 3 It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them. |
4 You are my King and my God; you command victories for Jacob. | 4 You are my King and my God, who decrees victories for Jacob. |
5 Through you we push down our foes; through your name we tread down our assailants. | 5 Through you we push back our enemies; through your name we trample our foes. |
6 For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me. | 6 I do not trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory; |
7 But you have saved us from our foes, and have put to confusion those who hate us. | 7 but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame. |
8 In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to your name forever. (Selah) | 8 In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever. "Selah" |
9 Yet you have rejected us and abased us, and have not gone out with our armies. | 9 But now you have rejected and humbled us; you no longer go out with our armies. |
10 You made us turn back from the foe, and our enemies have gotten spoil. | 10 You made us retreat before the enemy, and our adversaries have plundered us. |
11 You have made us like sheep for slaughter, and have scattered us among the nations. | 11 You gave us up to be devoured like sheep and have scattered us among the nations. |
12 You have sold your people for a trifle, demanding no high price for them. | 12 You sold your people for a pittance, gaining nothing from their sale. |
13 You have made us the taunt of our neighbors, the derision and scorn of those around us. | 13 You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, the scorn and derision of those around us. |
14 You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples. | 14 You have made us a byword among the nations; the peoples shake their heads at us. |
15 All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face | 15 My disgrace is before me all day long, and my face is covered with shame |
16 at the words of the taunters and revilers, at the sight of the enemy and the avenger. | 16 at the taunts of those who reproach and revile me, because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge. |
17 All this has come upon us, yet we have not forgotten you, or been false to your covenant. | 17 All this happened to us, though we had not forgotten you or been false to your covenant. |
18 Our heart has not turned back, nor have our steps departed from your way, | 18 Our hearts had not turned back; our feet had not strayed from your path. |
19 yet you have broken us in the haunt of jackals, and covered us with deep darkness. | 19 But you crushed us and made us a haunt for jackals and covered us over with deep darkness. |
20 If we had forgotten the name of our God, or spread out our hands to a strange god, | 20 If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god, |
21 would not God discover this? For he knows the secrets of the heart. | 21 would not God have discovered it, since he knows the secrets of the heart? |
22 Because of you we are being killed all day long, and accounted as sheep for the slaughter. | 22 Yet for your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered. |
23 Rouse yourself! Why do you sleep, O Lord? Awake, do not cast us off forever! | 23 Awake, O Lord! Why do you sleep? Rouse yourself ! Do not reject us forever. |
24 Why do you hide your face? Why do you forget our affliction and oppression? | 24 Why do you hide your face and forget our misery and oppression? |
25 For we sink down to the dust; our bodies cling to the ground. | 25 We are brought down to the dust; our bodies cling to the ground. |
26 Rise up, come to our help. Redeem us for the sake of your steadfast love. | 26 Rise up and help us; redeem us because of your unfailing love. |

It might be very valuable for treatment if the condition didn't come as a mystery and a surprise.

In Canada mortgage interest isn't tax deductible so there is more incentive to pay down the principle.
It isn't buying homes from cash on hand but it is a little different from the American environment.
If I was an American I might still have a mortgage because it would have made relatively more sense to invest money other ways than it would to pay down my mortgage.
As a Canadian paying down my mortgage had a relatively low ROI but it was risk free and I wasn't giving up any tax exemptions.
Canada doesn't allow people to walk away from mortgages and only lose the house either, so that part of the risk equation is different.

'Catfish' Preview: Nev Schulman and Max Joseph Dish on Their New MTV Series, Online Dating Deception and Needing Therapy
Imagine falling in love with someone you've never met in person. That's the subject of MTV's newest series Catfish, based off the 2010 documentary film of the same name.
In the digital age, finding love online is not unusual. However, when these long-distance relationships fail to lead to face-to-face interactions, questions start to arise. Is this person really who they say they are? Will online chemistry translate to real-life attraction? Enter Nev Schulman and Max Joseph, who are helping unite these couples for the very first time.
"We mange expectations," Schulman, the subject of the 2010 film, told Celebuzz. "We don't want someone to go into a situation and think their life and their happiness depends on this reveal... We want people to come away from this experience the way I did: Whether they're embarrassed or heartbroken, either way it's an incredible learning experience. For me, it became a very positive event in my life."
"We didn't want a Jerry Springer ending," added Joseph. "We didn't want it to end with a train-wreck. The last two acts of the show are really about these two people meeting, sitting down in front of each other and really reconciling the differences or the deceit. It's about getting to a place of mutual understanding."
These two New York City natives don't claim to have all of the answers, but Schulman hopes his own well-documented experience with a "catfish" -- a person who uses a false online identity to pursue deceptive online romances -- can help others when they finally meet their digital love in person.
When it came to finding the right individuals, MTV didn't have to look very far. After Catfish's theatrical release, hundreds of people from across the country reached out to Schulman for help with their own online dating woes."The response to the film was this very strange, unexpected, candid honesty," said Schulman. "People were emailing me, Facebook messaging me , tweeting me... feeling, in many cases, for the first like they could tell somebody about their past, strange, embarrassing online relationship or their current situation. And they would we ask me for help."
So Schulman went to his brother Henry, one of the filmmakers behind the documentary, and suggested they try to help some of these people. From there, cameraman Joseph became involved with the project -- and Catfish: The TV Show was born.
"Our protagonist is very much in the driver's seat, and we go at their speed," said Joseph. "We always tell them we're there to support them and to help them in whatever way they want us to. We're at their disposal. If they want us to investigate, we'll investigate. If they want us to talk to the other person in their stead, we'll talk to the other person without them there. We're their agents."
With Joseph behind the camera, Schulman acts as the series' host, talking the subject -- and sometimes, the catfish -- through "long, heart-to-heart conversations."
"Most times a host of a show is qualified by either the schooling they had or simply because they're charismatic and attractive or they can speak well," said Joseph. "In this case...""None of the above," quipped Schulman.
"No! In this case, Nev is perfect because he's been there," said Joseph. "I've never had a crazy online relationship that's left me vulnerable and embarrassed and humiliated. Because he's been through it, there's a level of credibility he has that no one else can have."
The MTV duo also have plenty of experience when it comes to therapy.
"We've both had a lot of therapy, just being two kids growing up in New York," joked Joseph. "ADHD," added Schulman. "Yeah, and OCD," said Joseph, pointing toward himself. "We have pretty much the whole alphabet covered," said Schulman.
"My close friends have been calling me Dr. Nev," he quipped. "Or Nev M.D."
Catfish premieres Monday, November 12 at 11PM ET on MTV. Watch the series' trailer below.

Jordan's Balancing Act
Nicolas Pelham
February 22, 2011
(Nicolas Pelham is a journalist based in Jerusalem)
When anti-monarchical revolution swept the Middle East in the 1950s,
Jordan was one of the few populous Arab states to keep its king. King
`Abdallah II, son of Hussein, the sole Hashemite royal to ride out the
republican wave, has all the credentials to perform a similar balancing
act. Aged 49, he has been in charge for a dozen years, unlike his father,
who was just 17 and only a few months into his reign when the Egyptian
potentate abdicated in 1952. And the son has grown accustomed to
weathering storms on the borders, whether the Palestinian intifada to the
west or the US invasion of Iraq to the east.
Why is it, then, that the Jordanian monarchy seems so alarmed amidst the
revolution sweeping the Middle East today? In part, the king knows he is
out of touch with the times. By regional standards, he remains young, but
he is still twice the age of the youth marching in the streets from Rabat,
Morocco to Manama, Bahrain. The population that he rules has begun to tire
of his performance: For over a decade, he has mouthed the platitudes of
reform but failed to deliver. And unlike in the 1950s, when Western powers
backed his fellow rulers, he may feel than he can no longer fully rely on
the support of his main external patron, the United States, which seems to
have nudged Husni Mubarak of Egypt toward the exit.
Promises, Promises
So far, `Abdallah's response to the regional uproar has been to retreat
inward. On the heels of demonstrations in Amman and other cities, he
dismissed the cabinet and promised a new clutch of ministers more
responsive to popular demands. But while presenting a reformist face, he
moved to reappoint a hardliner, Ma`rouf al-Bakhit, the prime minister to
whom he turned when the kingdom faced its worst-ever terror attacks, on
high-end Amman hotels in November 2005. A retired general, ex-head of a
top security agency and former ambassador to Israel, Bakhit could be
relied upon to crack down on radical Islamists and fiddle with legislative
elections to prevent the less militant Muslim Brothers from repeating the
electoral successes of sister organizations in Egypt and Palestine.
Importantly to a king who reputedly has a penchant for gambling, Bakhit
also signed off on Jordan's first casino. "A puppet," spat a retired army
colonel when asked about the new prime minister.
Bakhit's first steps in office suggest a counter-reformation more than a
liberalization. Within days of his appointment on February 1, the
authorities hacked into dissident blogs and closed down websites, sent
hired thugs to disperse peaceful opposition protests and placed Layth
Shubaylat, a veteran Islamist critic, under permanent police guard. The
official news agency, Petra, released diatribes against journalists who
questioned royal integrity. Diplomats consider the new cabinet more
reactionary than the last.
Initially, though, the appointment of Bakhit seems to have worked in
restoring calm. The street protests, never all that impressive, have
subsequently failed to acquire Bahraini -- let alone Egyptian --
proportions. The police responded to the demonstrators with handouts of
water bottles rather than truncheons. East Bankers, the term for
Jordanians of non-Palestinian descent, have cheered Bakhit's return. The
kingdom's Palestinian population, perhaps the majority though figures are
proscribed, did not rebel. And the Muslim Brothers, too, the country's
largest organized opposition movement, appear at least partly mollified by
the king's decision to grant them an audience, the first such meeting
since he ascended the throne in 1999.
But in back rooms, the backbiting is louder than ever. The protests that
erupted across the kingdom marked less an uprising than the collapse of a
legally sanctioned taboo that rendered the king inviolable and
untouchable. Recent weeks have seen an outpouring of criticism -- fair and
foul -- as resentments pent up for a decade found release. The first
protests broke out in southern Jordan, focusing on rising prices,
corruption and stagnant wages in the public sector, and blaming the
country's ruling class. Unrest rapidly spread to other locales and across
social boundaries, including among men who once served in the army.
"Soldiers are like other citizens," says Gen. `Ali Habashna, a member of
the National Committee of Military Veterans, which claims to represent
140,000 pensioned security men and counts several ex-generals among its
ranks. The Committee has called on former law enforcers to break the law
by demonstrating without a license. "They're also hurt by the government.
Tunisia and Egypt have opened their eyes."
Uppity East Bankers
The most vocal protests came from Jordan's East Bank tribesmen, a pillar
of Jordan's security regime since the Hashemites first rode into the
kingdom in 1917. In return for their support, East Bankers have looked to
the monarch to provide job opportunities and other patronage. But, under
King `Abdallah, cracks have emerged in the pact. Privatization has eroded
the public sector, long the employer of first and last resort for East
Bankers, while the private sector has reaped growing profits. The fact
that many of the beneficiaries were Palestinians -- after the Black
September revolt of 1970, many had their avenues to the public sector
blocked -- only heightened East Bankers' ire. In what has become a turbid
current in Jordanian politics, the East Bankers perceive a fall from grace
as a more sophisticated, globalized nouveau riche, made up particularly of
Palestinians, rises. Symbolizing the change, tribesmen rant that that no
sooner had they brought their tributary trays of mansaf, the lamb rack
doused in yogurt that is prized as Jordan's national dish, than the king
began eyeing his Rolex, in marked contrast to the respectful manners of
his father.
Not surprisingly, much of the vitriol is focused on the king's wife, Queen
Rania, who is denounced as an outsider, because of her Palestinian
origins, and supposed to be a ringleader of the East Bank's dispossession.
In one petition reflecting the hostile new discourse, three dozen
tribesmen lambasted Rania's lavish lifestyle, portraying her as Jordan's
counterpart to the wife of deposed Tunisian leader Zine El Abidine Ben
Ali, through whose relatives much of the country's business was channeled.
The petition accused her of expropriating state land to build her own
school, diverting monies from the kingdom's overstretched budget to
finance birthday parties in the Wadi Rum desert, and using her influence
to appoint favorites to senior positions or win citizenship for
Palestinians, particularly those married to Jordanians. (One bureaucrat
who began on a government salary parachuted in to run the king's diwan,
leaving office as a crony capitalist with a luxury house he sold for
millions. Similar tales abound: a health minister who contracted work to
his own pharmaceutical company, a manpower minister who employed his own
migrant worker agency and an irrigation minister who watered his own date
plantation.) "Sooner or later," warned the petition, Jordan would be
deluged by "the flood of Tunisia and Egypt due to the suppression of
freedoms and looting of public funds."
The dam at Dhiban, the town 43 miles south of Amman where the protests
first flared up, offers a vivid illustration of the upturned hierarchies.
Not only did the dam's construction inundate fertile tribal lands,
residents gripe, but it channels water away from the surrounding fields to
Amman for the swimming pools of the rich. Local cultivators (with the
exception of a former minister) are banned from using the dammed water for
irrigation, leaving nearby pastures parched. Farmers who once grew
tomatoes have been forced to sell. The inhabitants of Dhiban seethe at the
collapse in land prices: While they move to the cities, their town has
attracted an influx of "settlers" -- Palestinians from the cities buying
plots for country homes on the cheap. Privatization of the nearby
phosphates factory has further led to the substitution of foreign for
local labor, deepening Dhiban's economic crisis and these East Bankers'
fear of slipping from their once paramount status. Even the gatekeeper of
the dam is Palestinian. "We're a minority in our own country," says
Muhammad Sunayd, a government official who led the first revolt.
The king's first remedy was to buy off the protesters. As part of an
emergency $550 million economic package, he raised government salaries and
pensions, and partially reinstated subsidies on fuel and food. But the pay
hikes -- a meager $30 per month -- did little to offset the increases in
taxation that the state has also imposed. And the royal attempts to
address the complexities of a modern economy with tidbits of noblesse
oblige sparked more political demands, for instance, calls for greater
representation commensurate to the rising tax and utility bills. "We're
not after candies," said a leftist opposition leader.
Having failed to dim the outcry, `Abdallah resorted to the Hashemites'
time-honored safety valve of dismissing the prime minister. (Jordan's four
kings have changed premiers 72 times.) The move went some distance toward
mitigating East Bank anger. Bakhit's predecessor, Samir al-Rifa`i, had all
the traits East Bank populists despise. He was of Palestinian origin
(though he and his father were born in Jordan); he inherited his title
(his father was also a prime minister); he ran a private business (Jordan
Dubai Capital); and his fiscal austerity measures earned plaudits from the
International Monetary Fund, whose recommendations are viewed in Jordan as
having instigated the decline of the public sector.
But the tactic has only partly worked. Rather than dull the edge of East
Bankers' demands, the measures have galvanized the protesters to up the
ante. A new spate of demonstrations in Dhiban called for more than
government jobs, expanding its slogans to include the restoration of
lands, or wajihat, that tribesmen claim were assigned to them under the
British Mandate. Despite their general approval of Bakhit's appointment,
protesters briefly cut off the country's two main highways linking Amman
to the south.
West Bankers, Too
Ironically, the offspring of the Palestinian fighters who led the 1970
revolt against King Hussein now find themselves among the king's most
ardent defenders. Having reinvented themselves as businessmen, they led a
real estate boom in Amman, turning the Jordanian capital into the most
populous Palestinian city in the world. In their luxury homes, businessmen
drown their sorrows over the billion dollars that brokers say Jordan's
stock exchange has shed during the turmoil in North Africa, and warn of
the threat of mobs breaking out of the impoverished suburbs if the
protests escalate. "How stupid these people are," wrote Mahir Abu Tayr in
the official daily al-Dustour. "Can't they see that destroying Jordan
would destroy their homes and livelihoods as well?"
The absence of Palestinians in the initial protests was a common East
Banker refrain. Palestinians, complained East Bank activists, care more
about foreign issues, such as Israel's wars in Lebanon and Gaza, than
local ones.
The truth was rather different. If Palestinians were quiet, it was largely
because their leaders were too traumatized by the 1970 crackdown to
intervene in domestic politics. Even when they raised their voices at
football matches -- supporting Wihdat, the eponymous team of the
Palestinian refugee camp in central Amman -- they risked being clobbered
by East Banker forces. The darak, the gendarmerie created by King
`Abdallah shortly after he ascended the throne, wounded scores when Wihdat
fans celebrated their victory over Faysali, a mainly East Banker side, in
October 2010. If Palestinians have championed foreign issues, it is
largely because they are safer.
Even so, Palestinians tentatively joined the January protests as they
spread north. The Society of Muslim Brothers, which for many Palestinians
has served as their political voice, lent the demonstrations support,
broadening their thrust in tandem to demand that the king relinquish some
of his absolute powers and entrust the people -- not himself -- with
choosing the prime minister. In addition, they demanded proportional
representation in place of the current election system of constituencies,
which is grossly gerrymandered in favor of the predominantly East Banker
south. (A parliamentary constituency in Tafila, a southern town,
encompasses a few hundred voters, while one in Amman is home to tens of
thousands.) Some also demanded citizenship and voting rights for the
estimated million-plus Palestinians resident in Jordan who lack both.
The collapse of the Israeli-Palestinian political process and widespread
despair of Palestinian statehood any time soon have increased Palestinian
demands for realization of equal rights inside Jordan. The latter feeling
has been deepened by Al Jazeera's release of Palestinian negotiators'
records. "Jordan has lost its defensive buffer of a Palestinian state,"
says `Urayb Rantawi, director of the Amman-based al-Quds Center for
Strategic Studies and a sometime royal adviser. "People are no longer
waiting. They want their rights now."
As with the tribes, `Abdallah's seeming disdain for the Muslim Brothers,
particularly compared to his father, has fueled the antagonism. Soon after
assuming power, `Abdallah exiled the representatives of Hamas from his
kingdom, and banned membership in that organization, a particular affront
to the Brothers' Palestinian rank and file. He banned the Brothers'
preachers from the mosque pulpits, and padlocked mosque doors between
prayer times to thwart subversive public assembly. Bakhit's reappointment
revived memories of his first term, when anti-Islamist measures and vote
rigging peaked following the Amman bombings. As a measure of their
disenchantment, the Brothers' political wing, the Islamic Action Front,
boycotted the November 2010 elections. As in Egypt, their absence weakened
parliamentary credibility and the legitimacy of the establishment's
governing structures.
By the time the protests reached Amman, Islamists, unions, teachers,
leftists and white-collar groups had joined in alongside army veterans and
tribal chiefs. Middle-class youth who had shrunk from activism sloughed
off their fear of Jordan's efficient, omnipresent mukhabarat -- at least
on Twitter. Journalists who had previously not only switched off their
phones but removed the batteries and SIM cards before whispering court
gossip now voiced criticisms with their names publicly attached. "People
power in Egypt and Tunis opened our mouths," said a pharmacist in Wihdat.
Beneath a royal portrait, a leading Brother predicted a collision, and the
spread of a Tunisian "virus" to the Arab heartlands. "Tunisia's revolution
is like the French. It will hit the Arab world and topple rulers in the
same way the French Revolution did in Europe," said Zaki Bani Rashad,
politburo chief of the Islamic Action Front.
Certainly, a bird's-eye view of Jordan's demonstrations would have noted
certain similarities with Tunisia's. Both protests began in the south and
focused initially on economic issues, acquiring greater political import
as they progressed to the north. What the protests lacked in quantity,
remarked one participant, they gained in their qualitative spread.
Worryingly for the king, the demonstrators' demands were echoed in the
salons of some of his closest advisers and the complaints became
increasingly personal. Despite the likenesses of the ruling couple hanging
in their headquarters, leading Muslim Brothers echoed tribal criticism of
Queen Rania, sniping that she preferred to spend Ramadan sunbathing on a
yacht off the Italian Riviera than in a mosque. The jibes have yet to
reach the level of loathing that overthrew North Africa's leaders, but the
royal image has been badly tarnished. In the south, Bedouins hung
portraits not of the king, but of Saddam Hussein, the late Iraqi dictator
who once showered them with handouts. And the banners celebrating the
king's January birthday, which normally bedeck the kingdom's towns, were
few and far between in 2011. Loaded with ambiguity, the crowds protesting
outside Amman's Egyptian embassy chanted, "Down with Mubarak," but also
with oppression and tyranny region-wide. And more are holding the king
directly responsible for the discontent, not only his ministers. "We are
asking questions we never uttered before," said Jihad Barghouti, a veteran
leftist leader.
Cards Left to Play
How will the king handle the widening gap between ruler and ruled? Some
senior officials predict a Gorbachev moment wherein the monarch opens up
the system to preempt the street in setting the pace. But even the king's
own proxies wonder about his ability to change course, noting the past
instances of paying lip service to reformist agendas while repeatedly
opting to rule by decree. "Political change in the Arab world is linked to
regime change," said Rantawi, who the king appointed in 2002 to draw up a
reform program, only to find his recommendations shelved.
Much of the outcome depends on the opposition groups' success in
maintaining a semblance of a united front, and King `Abdallah's in
splitting them. The parlous state of the kingdom's economy, amidst rising
fuel prices and mounting public debt, has done much to give Jordan's rival
halves something akin to a common cause for fairer distribution of power
and wealth. Tribal leaders in the south spoke of coordinating protests
with refugee camp representatives. In the decade since `Abdallah took
over, Jordan's per capita GDP has grown from $1,650 to almost $4,000. But
the gap between haves and have-nots has widened, and while the rich speak
of tightening belts, hundreds of thousands of others have fallen below the
poverty line. With a two-pound packet of meat costing 9 dinars (over $12),
even those with jobs speak of a struggle of survival. "We haven't had meat
for two months," said a once middle-class father of four.
While restored subsidies offer temporary respite, businessmen and
economists fear that Bakhit will further ease subsidy cuts, thus reversing
the fiscal discipline and budget pruning of the Rifa`i government,
deepening deficits which had hitherto doubled and exacerbating Jordan's
long-term economic malaise. "This government can be expected to shift its
priorities from sound fiscal management to sound security and stability,"
said one of the king's proxies, noting that in his previous term Bakhit
had upped government salaries to buy off dissent. Compounding these
concerns, much of the Gulf investment Jordan had attracted prior to the
global recession has been repatriated. Cranes hang idle over unfinished
tower blocks, including the landmark redevelopment of downtown Amman's
`Abdali neighborhood.
The king has many cards left to play. Unlike Tunisia and Egypt, whose
populations are mostly drawn from a single "ethnic" stock, Jordan's
polychrome composition makes the citizenry susceptible to policies of
divide and rule. Many Jordanians still hold to the nursery-rhyme diktat of
keeping hold of nurse for fear of finding something worse; without the
royal linchpin, warn many of the king's men, the country could descend
into civil war. Moreover, fear of the not-so-secret police continues to
induce compliance. The government's refugee affairs department running the
Wihdat camp bars any resident from talking to a foreigner without
permission. Jordanians seeking employment in banks or even as taxi drivers
are required to produce a clean bill of health from the mukhabarat. Taxi
drivers protest their loyalty to the king almost before citing their fare.
But there is a recognition that they do so "not out of love, but out of
fear," says a veteran Palestinian activist.
Should the discontent grow, regardless, where might King `Abdallah look
next? However awkwardly, the king has already initiated a tentative
overture to the Islamists. Much as his father relied upon them as a
strategic reserve against a Nasserist-inspired Egyptian tide, he could yet
engage them fully. By empowering their disenfranchised followers,
particularly Palestinians, such a gambit might help still discontent, as
well as attract capital back from the Gulf. But the price would be to
weaken further East Banker influence on the governing structures and to
lend credence to those who claim Jordan is evolving into a Palestinian
state. This move might also impair the king's strategic orientation toward
Israel and, more broadly, his Western patrons, at a time of greater royal
need. For all the damage done to the West's credibility in the region,
that is a shift the Westernized `Abdallah is unlikely to undertake unless
desperation sets in.

China may delay property tax expansion - paper
Published on Jan 14, 2013 10:48 AM
BEIJING (REUTERS) - China may postpone expanding a trial property tax nationwide, a senior tax official said in remarks published on Monday.
Mr Wang Kang, the chief accountant of the State Administration of Taxation, said both the tax bureau and finance ministry were still working out which cities to include and the rate of tax to be levied in the pilot's expansion, according to a report in the official Economic Information Daily.
Beijing has been actively studying an expansion of its experimental property tax after it kicked off the pilot programme in Shanghai and Chongqing in 2011.
Many industry observers and officials had expected the government to introduce the tax to more cities from late 2012 to curb rising home prices.

AT&T to Abandon Line-Item Paper Phone Bills
Date: Friday, August 24th, 2007, 07:53
Category: iPhone
In response to customer complaints about excessively long and detailed phone bills, including the infamous YouTube video in which blogger Justine Ezarik received not just a phone bill, but a FedEx package containing a 300 page itemized bill, AT&T has stated that it will remove itemized detailing for future bills.
According to Macworld UK, AT&T sent along the following text message to current iPhone owners: "We are simplifying your paper bill, removing itemized detail. To view all detail, go to att.com/mywireless. Still need full paper bill? Call 611."
AT&T spokeman Mark Siegel pointed out that the company has always offered a summary bill, although users could choose to hang a line-item bill sent along. A third alternative of a pure online bill has also been offered in which users could view their usage details as well.
The company has stated that it'll be changing the default billing option for iPhone users. New iPhone users who'd like a detailed paper bill will be charged US$1.99 a month per phone line. Current iPhone users who'd like to make changes to their existing account(s) will be charged US$1.99 for the detailed paper bill after September 28th.
If you've seen the text message for the billing change appear on your iPhone or have an opinion or feedback about the situation, let us know in the comments or forums.

If you are still working on your state or federal income tax returns or an extension of time to file, good luck.
If you are among the Americans who already have filed 2013 returns, April 15 is no longer a dreaded deadline and you may have time to ponder what happens to your tax money.
An analysis released in March by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities shows that the U.S. government spent $3.5 trillion in fiscal 2013, which ended on Sept. 30. About $2.8 trillion was financed by taxes and other government revenues; the rest — $680 billion — was borrowed, adding to the national debt.
In 2013, the U.S. government used 6 percent of its total spending for interest on the national debt.
There are only five spending categories that exceed interest on the federal debt, according to the center's analysis:
- 24 percent for Social Security.
- 22 percent for Medicare, Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program. (According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, three-fifths of all that health care spending was for folks 65 and older, one-fifth was for people who are disabled, and one-fifth was for those under age 65.)
- 19 percent for defense and international security.
- 12 percent for safety net programs, such as nutrition assistance and child care for low-income workers.
- 8 percent in benefits to U.S. veterans and federal retirees.
- 3 percent transportation infrastructure.
- 2 percent science and medical research.
- 1 percent education.
- 1 percent non-security international assistance
- 3 percent everything else.
Taxes redistribute income, but not always in ways we expect. In a report released in December, the Congressional Budget Office analyzed the distribution of household income and federal taxes in 2010 and found that households in the lowest 80 percent of income had higher after-tax income than they did before taxes.
The 20 percent of households with the lowest income received 5.1 percent of total U.S. household income before taxes. After taxes, this group had 6.2 percent of total income.
Those in the middle 20 percent had 14.2 percent of all before-tax income and had 15.4 percent of all after-tax income.
At the top of the income scale, the wealthiest 20 percent of U.S. households had 51.9 percent of all before-tax income and 48.1 percent of all after-tax income.
Redistribution of wealth through income, payroll and other taxes provides health care and security for older Americans. It helps feed and house impoverished Americans of all ages, but it sure hasn't made them rich. To read more about federal taxes and spending, check out cbo.gov.

Bernanke's Christmas Present: Chairman Paul
It's official: Texas Congressman Ron Paul will be the Chairman of the House Subcommittee for Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology when the 112th Congress convenes in January. Rep. Spencer Bachus of Alabama, who is slated to be the Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, of which the Monetary Policy Subcommittee is a part, announced Paul's appointment as chairman of that subcommittee on December 9.
Ron Paul's Big Day
Will Tuesday be Ron Paul's big day? Robert Wenzel of EconomicPolicyJournal.com thinks so, as does Paul confidant Lew Rockwell. On December 7 the Republican leadership in the House of Representatives is scheduled to announce the chairmen of various committees and subcommittees, including the Subcommittee for Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology, of which the Texas congressman is currently the ranking Republican member.
House Passes School Nutrition Bill That Is No Treat
GOP Congress Hopes to Overturn ObamaCare Regulations
Because of President Barack Obama's veto power, it is very unlikely that Congress could successfully repeal ObamaCare for at least another two years. However, there are substantive things that can be done to prevent ObamaCare's implementation, such as state nullification of the legislation and congressional defunding of its provisions. There are also symbolic things — things that might pass one or both houses of Congress but, if they do pass both houses, will almost certainly be vetoed by Obama. One of the symbolic measures being considered by Republicans is the use of a 1996 law that gives Congress the power to overrule regulations issued by executive branch agencies.
Sen. Rockefeller's Wish: TV News Censorship
Ben Bernanke's Worst Nightmare: Chairman Ron Paul
In the 111th Congress Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) introduced legislation to perform a wide-ranging audit of the Federal Reserve. That bill was, in Paul's words, "gutted" before it came to the floor for a vote. Ultimately only a few very weak provisions of Paul's original bill became law.
Congress Practices Financial Prudence for Me, But Not for Thee
Members of Congress may be spendthrifts when it comes to taxpayers' money; but when it comes to their own, they suddenly develop a sense of responsibility.
A Taxing Proposal for Online Retailers
There are many positive features about shopping online, including convenience, selection, and speed. There is also the fact that a customer doesn't have to pay sales tax on items purchased from retailers who don't have a presence in the customer's state — a significant savings on big-ticket items. Technically, the customer is still required to pay the tax come next April 15, but in practice hardly anyone does.
Federal Flood Insurance Drowning in Red Ink
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is drowning in red ink — $19 billion in red ink, to be exact, according to Fox News. The reason is simple: The federal government charges below-market premiums to people who choose to live in flood-prone areas. This encourages people to build in such areas; and the more people who live there, the greater the liability for taxpayers. When a major disaster occurs, as in 2005 with Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the outlays far outstrip the premiums, and the program goes into debt.
Senate Considers Making the President King of Cyberspace
The Internet is a wonderful invention that has allowed for the dissemination of a wide variety of ideas. Not surprisingly, politicians, never ones to brook dissent cheerfully, are not terribly fond of it. In 1998, then-First Lady Hillary Clinton said, "We're all going to have to rethink how we deal with the Internet. As exciting as these new developments are, there are a number of serious issues without any kind of editing function or gatekeeping function."

B.I.S.D. Students Giving Back with Food Drive
Students at the B.I.S.D. are giving back to their community with their own canned food drive.
The annual Thanksgiving canned food drive is a long standing tradition among the district's schools. This year several of the elementary schools donations went to students and children that don't have a home. Program officials say the elementary students take a lot of pride in helping their peers in need.
The collected items are donated to local agencies including Friendship of Women, Good Neighbor Settlement House, Tip of Texas Family Outreach and Friendship of Ozana Homeless Shelter.

Ratking Resurrect Backpack Rap on 'So It Goes,' and It Doesn't Suck
- SPIN Rating:8 of 10
Label: XL
Nostalgia is so irritatingly inexorable it can resurrect even the nerdiest of musical subgenres: backpack rap. Some might claim the earnest, hyperlyrical, outré faction of underground hip-hop never died, but a decade out from peaking in response to Diddy and the rise of the South, backpackers have dispersed as independent rap has become more diverse and inclusive than ever. Maybe Kanye is to blame. Long before he anointed himself God, he was the backpacker demigod, a basement-dwelling beatmaker turned semi-conscious firebrand.
No wonder Ratking – rappers Wiki and Hak, and producer Sporting Life – hail Yeezy as one of the greats. The crew of Manhattan natives first emerged in early 2012 on Wiki's debut single, "Wikispeaks," where the squishy-voiced rapper aligned himself with his heroes (and sent old heads reeling) with the canon revisionist line: "Damn I feel like Jay Z in '96, Man I feel like ODB in '93, Am I even an '04 'Ye?"
So It Goes is a record that's a product of its surroundings: New York City, and New York City rap. From the jazzy morality of A Tribe Called Quest, through the esoterica of Company Flow, and the cockiness of the Diplomats, Ratking embodies an organic nostalgia: one that feels less studious (*cough* Joey Bada$$) or trendy (*emoji eyes* A$AP), than a product of listening to a whole lot of shit growing up.
Wiki and Hak are a compelling pair: the former calls to mind the effusive prattle of Vast Aire or Camp Lo's Sonny Cheeba, and the latter works with a stiff yelp that sounds more like Dizzee Rascal's East Londenese than his native Harlem. They rap with combined vision, documenting a fast-fading iteration of New York City and – if the album's intro about a conversation on rap in "the original Jimbo's on Amsterdam" is to believed – extending the gentrification analogy to rap itself. "So Sick Stories," featuring British moodyman and XL labelmate King Krule, feels (and sounds) like a modern day take on Black Star's "Respiration." Hak and Wiki flip verses about the gritty, pretty city while Krule floats, crooning, above the concrete gloam.
It's not just a cross-Atlantic collab that makes So It Goes more than a North Face-puffy-wearing, underground-fetishizing rap record. Sporting Life is inspired; he crafts obtuse jazz rap that's too messy to be labeled a mere Native Tongues rip ("Snowbeach") and that moves into unexpected BPMs ("Puerto Rican Judo"). Princess Nokia purrs a Spanish Harlem-y verse on the latter, rhyming "judo" with "papi chulo" and, of course, "culo." Whether directly inspired by backpack rap or just embodying the raw energy of that era, the group has none of the preachy divisiveness that made that movement a half-joke. Ratking is simply of a time when Kanye was a hidden genius housed at the Roc, and "Dipset Anthem" horns heralded a city's battle cry.

Definitely a great blush. VERY pigmented so be careful. Perfect for all seasons, for summer and spring I do more bronzing all over and a little or this blush, and for winter I do more contouring and a bit more blush to make my cheeks look a bit flushed. This is a very pinky rose color that is that perfect blushing shade. Even if you apply a little more it's okay because it's like a your cheeks but better kind of blush. The only downside is that I have other blushes that I find blend better. Not that this doesn't blend well. I just prefer others. For those that want something that will make them look like they have been in the sun a bit, go for a redder toned blush. This blush is for those that want to look like they are blushing. The only reason I say I would not repurchase is because I don't think I will ever run out of it. So pigmented! Also thebalm packaging is always amazing.

Very pigmented. The best blush out of the three (vs CabanaBoy and DownBoy), lasting power isn't so great but the color is lovely!
It's a very pretty cool toned pink blush, but I just don't wear it because it's too cool toned on my skin it doesn't look right. On the right person though it's gorgeous. I wouldn't repurchase simply because I don't need to, but if you like cool toned blushes without shimmer, great staying paying and great pigmentation you'll enjoy this

This blushes is really really pigmented, you just need a small amount of product to apply to your cheek, and your face will looks better. I noticed that this color is quite natural for me, so I can use this when I'm in 'no makeup' makeup look. Excited to try another color!

Down boy is cool toned matte pink blush. At the first I thought it wont look good on my cheeks but after tried it I absolutely love it! The blush is so pigmented so you just have to tap your brush on the pan, and lightly apply it on your cheeks. The cons are it's so powdery and the packaging gets dirty easily because of the cardboard material.

This is a definite must have.. It's bright pink, flattering, matte, blends well, lasts all day.. what more could you ask for? This is one of my favorite blushes and I can't imagine being without it. I haven't found anything else quite like it. I won't bore you with details, but trust me (and the tons of other positive reviews) this is well worth purchasing over and over and over again
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
its a cool barbie pink blushes that makes your face looks sooo fresh. the pigmentation is no joke, one swipe only for each cheeks no need for more, and it lasts all day. i have a sensitive skin but it didnt break me out. i love how matte it is, i can safely use it day and night. if i want shimmer, i just use the sister product mary-lou manizer and i pop. the amount of product is generous compared to the other brands, and often having 50% off at hautelook. go grab it while you can.
Well this is the best blush I have used. It stays in all day, blends into your skin and looks just like a natural feminine glow. Love the retro themed packaging, it may only be cardboard but it is super sturdy and if you keep the sleeve this could easy be safely carried around in a bag. I wish this stuff was sold mainstream in Australia it's such a pain getting it online but well worth it
This is the "bestest" blush ever! Well for me, at least.. (: I have A LOT of blushes and have even tried a few from The Balm but this is the best so far. I've received a lot of compliments from this. Its very pigmented yet looks very natural on asian skin. I love love love this! I need to stock up!
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This blush is just "Ok" in my opinion. It's a basic cool pink shade that comes in a really cute compact. In fact, the packaging is the best thing about "Down Boy". My biggest issue with this blush is that it's hard to get a result that doesn't look over-done. I feel like if I lightly swirl my brush in the pan, I get no color or uneven color on my cheeks. Any more than a single swirl in the pan? Total clown face.
I would have liked the pink shade to be a little more natural looking and maybe slightly more buttery in texture.

Thematic Focus: "Social Entrepreneurship as a Tool for Promoting Diversity – Potential and Challenges"
Social entrepreneurs have widened the definition of traditional entrepreneurship by adding social value to their activities and ventures. As social agents they take on an imperative role in that their innovation, resourcefulness, and ability to continuously adapt and respond to changing social, economic, and political realities help redefine accountability and sustain social value in society.
Social entrepreneurship is growing rapidly as a concept and comes in all forms and shapes, spans over many sectors, and responds to a wide range of challenges. As experienced social entrepreneurs, participants will explore concepts and models and share best practices. As social entrepreneurs are characterized by their ability to quickly (re)adapt their "business models" to realities on the ground, much focus will be given to national and regional differences among participants. The potential for the replication of models in other countries, as well as building lasting networks with like-minded social entrepreneurs across Europe and the Arab world, takes center stage.
AEYLF can be described as a dynamic and viable platform for young leaders. As the initiative is viewed in linear terms – thus as a process – input and feedback provided by participants and partners has been taken into account while formulating the forum's 3rd edition. The following provide an overview of draft key program elements for this year's forum:
Key Note Speaker: At the outset of the forum, a key note speaker will address the audience to share experiences and best practices, as well as highlight challenges in the field of social entrepreneurship. This format will provide insight in the field of social entrepreneurship and help capture current models and break down relevant regional dynamics. It also presents participants with the opportunity to meet and discuss with an expert from the field.
World Café: has been found to be successful concept at the outset of the event. A dynamic and innovative way to prompt initial discussions on the respective topics, participants will gather in small groups with a lead facilitator.
Capacity building: While candidates possess strong profiles, the forum aims at strengthening skills and solidifying know-how among participants. A tailor-made training will provide valuable insight.
Workshops: will allow participants to work out project ideas that not only depict a regional focus, but also engulfs on the main theme of the AEYLF, namely: "Social Entrepreneurship as a Tool for Promoting Diversity" – Potential and Challenges". The goal is to pool skills, knowledge and experience together in such a way to allow groups to look for innovative, solution-oriented responses to the given problem at hand.
Field Trips: have also proven a successful way to present relevant, successful initiatives in the field that could easily serve as role models. A careful selection of trips is being offered, so as to provide participants with a complete picture of their working environments.
Cultural Program: An extracurricular activity, a cultural program will offer participants the chance to learn more about the culture and arts of the host country. Such informal gatherings oftentimes provide for unique situations for constructive dialogue and exchange.
Network: Turning the forum into a dynamic platform for sharing information and best practices requires continuous communications and exchange. Regular updates on participants and their projects, on developments in the region, on opportunities for cooperation or funding, and on future AEYLF for could be greatly beneficial to participants and partners alike. The AEYLF alumni network could easily stay connected through biannual newsletters, providing useful information. During the 3rd AEYLF an alumni network facilitator will be identified who shall be responsible for gathering and sharing relevant information.
The 3rd edition took place from June, 23rd-25th 2014. Rotating between the respective regions, AEYLF III was hosted in Vienna. A final report on AEYLF III is in the works and will be published upon its completion.

Problem in validating page with unicode text
Hi friends,
I've been building a site in php+mysql as backend and most of the contents in the site are in local language(malayalam), so I opted unicode to store and display them.
My dream is to display a 'w3c valid' symbol and i'm struggling on it.
Now,my problem is some of my unicode text shows an error on validation (these texts are stored in database as unicode)
For a demo of my problem I've uploaded one of my page with only one such content shown (commenting php loop)
please have a look at it, all the links are not working as its only a demo.
This particular item shows 2 errors and if i remove the php-comment, there are 20 items and which results around 27 errors, all are due to this unicode.
These items are compiled by a rich text editor provided in the html form.
Can I make my dream true? or can i place a 'w3 icon' even if there are errors like this?
thanks n regards,

Two PHP functions you should look into are htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities.
I personally wouldn't put up a W3C validity badge unless I was certain that the page was, and would stay, valid. I personally wouldn't put up a badge either way (although a I value code validity highly), but I appreciate that there are some fair reasons to promote the fact that a site is standards compliant on-page.

Thanks Bill,
I tried the two functions
and then i triedalso, but no progress yet.Code:utf8_decode()
I've some other pages with more content , and amazingly they validates successfully.
One example is http://trials.casemumbai.com/trials/About.htm
The only difference is this content was placed statically in the document.
but i don't think it's due to this since I've other pages which takes content from database and validate correctly.
any other clues?

Saturday, April 21
United Center
Attendance: 22,945
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Luol Deng finished with a game-high 22 points and Richard Hamilton added 19, as the Chicago Bulls welcomed back Derrick Rose with a 93-83 win over the Dallas Mavericks, putting themselves on the brink of clinching the top seed in the Eastern Conference.
Coupled with the Heat's loss to Washington on Saturday, the Bulls hold a 2 1/2-game lead over Miami with two to play. Miami has three games remaining.
Chicago's cushion has dwindled over the past two months with Rose limited due to injuries, but the reigning MVP was in the lineup Saturday and totaled 11 points and eight assists. Rose missed the previous three games due to an injured foot.
"Taking everything into consideration, I thought [Rose] played a very controlled-type game," Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau said. "He was just trying to get a feel for being out there again. I think it was a good first step."
Dirk Nowitzki led the Mavericks with 17 points, while Rodrigue Beaubois and Vince Carter chipped in 16 and 15 points, respectively.
Dallas, in its penultimate regular season test, rested guards Jason Terry and Jason Kidd in the second game of a back-to-back. The Mavericks, who are tied with the Nuggets for the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference, finish the season at Atlanta on Thursday.
The Bulls, coming off an 11-point loss to Miami, held the Mavs to eight points in the opening quarter and scoring 21 themselves -- 10 coming from Hamilton.
The Mavs pulled within 44-38 at halftime and took their first lead, 56-55, on a Delonte West jumper with three minutes left in the third.
"The slow start didn't deter our enthusiasm. We kept coming, kept defending and rebounding," Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle said.
But Chicago responded with an 11-0 run to end the quarter, with Deng's three-pointer beating the buzzer for a 10-point lead.
The closest the visitors got in the fourth was 78-76 with 4 1/2 minutes to go, and the Bulls put the game away with a 12-3 flurry. Kyle Korver and Deng each hit from long range during the surge.
