Iran's currency woes: how damaging for the regime?
Posted: 05/10/2012 Filed under: Dina Esfandiary, Gulf and Middle East Security, Non-Proliferation | Tags: currency crisis, Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, nuclear programme, rial Leave a commentBy Dina Esfandiary, Research Associate and Project Coordinator, Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Programme
Protests erupted in Tehran on Wednesday after Iran's currency, the rial, lost about 60% of its value over just eight days. Although the protests are unlikely to be the 'beginning of the end' for the Iranian regime, they demonstrate that discontent is rife, and will put the government on edge in the run-up to the 2013 presidential elections.
The currency crisis
The rial's downward trend is not new: the currency fell gradually from 10,000 rials to the dollar in November 2011 to 16,000 rials to the dollar over the summer. But in the past week it has taken an abrupt turn for the worse, dropping to 37,500 rials to the dollar on Tuesday. The exchange rate had improved to 32,000 rials to the dollar by Thursday, but the crisis, which President Ahmadinejad blames on a 'foreign conspiracy', shows few signs of abating.
While the currency crisis is widely attributed to the economic sanctions imposed to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions, they are not the whole story. Sanctions have certainly contributed to the rial's devaluation by weakening the economy and cutting off Iran's access to the international financial system, making it difficult for Iran to sell its oil – the main source of government income and foreign-exchange reserves. But the rial's plunge is also the result of a crisis of confidence in the government's handling of the economy, which has been mismanaged for years. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's subsidy-reform plan was aimed at redressing structural inconsistencies, but the plan's poor implementation led to hyperinflation and higher unemployment.
The government's response to the economic crisis has been meek at best. Panic has set in, with Iranians exchanging their rials for dollars (or any other hard currency) on the black market, or buying gold. This has prompted a further fall in the rial's value, with an increase in the price of imports and resulting inflation. The opaqueness of the country's economic administration has not helped the situation.
Things came to a head when the government tried to address the currency crisis. In an attempt to remedy the rial's volatility and curb black market trading, Iran's Central Bank opened a new 'foreign exchange centre' on 24 September offering better rates for importers of essential goods such as food and medicine. This sparked a wave of panic: 'Nobody wants to be the last one stuck holding rials – just like nobody wants to be the last one out the door during a bank run – so they dump rials for whatever they think will be a better store of value,' Matthew O'Brien explained in the Atlantic. The government could attempt to remedy the situation by flooding the market with dollars to increase supply and drive prices down, but this would limit its access to the foreign-currency reserves – severely reducing its financial resources and preventing it from addressing issues such as the budget deficit.
Iranians no longer have confidence in their government's ability or will to manage the economic crisis. This is compounded by the sense that the nuclear issue is unlikely to be resolved any time soon. All in all, the outlook is grim. But the real question is whether the economic crisis is dangerous for the regime.
Protests in Tehran
The subsequent protests that erupted in Tehran on Wednesday are a signal that the tide of public opinion might be turning against the regime. At the moment, the government still has enough foreign reserves to stave off disaster for over a year; the plunge in the value of the rial is therefore not lethal. But the crisis is likely to continue, with the average Iranian bearing the brunt of it; as one woman complained, 'prices are going up every single minute'. Many Iranians are blaming the government and are questioning whether the nuclear programme is really worth the economic isolation. That said, some will blame the West for imposing harsh sanctions in response to what they view as a legitimate nuclear programme. Sanctions often polarise opinions and Iran is no exception.
It is also significant that the protests started in Tehran's Grand Bazaar. Bazaar merchants ('bazaaris') supported the 1979 Islamic revolution, and the economic and political benefits they attained after the Islamic revolution ensured, until a few years ago, their loyalty to the regime and to the status quo. But the government's economic failure has displeased them too. In 2008 and again in 2010, bazaaris went on strike to protest new taxes. Their reported participation in the latest protests is significant. Although the bazaar's union re-iterated its support for the regime on Thursday, it also highlighted discontent over 'the performance of the administration in the economic sphere'.
The regime responded swiftly and decisively to the protest. Riot police quickly dispersed crowds and numerous arrests were made. This response demonstrated that the regime will not tolerate any dissent in the run-up to the June 2013 elections. While the protests do reveal some significant developments in Iran's internal tensions, their actual effect should not, for now, be overstated. The opposition is still unable to organise itself in the way it managed to do following the 2009 elections.
But judging by the rising discontent, such gatherings could happen again and increase in both size and impact – turning up the pressure on the Islamic regime. This reality, coupled with the economic crisis, will put Ahmadinejad's government under huge strain. The Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, is also making things difficult for Ahmadinejad by allowing organisations like the bazaar union to openly criticise him.
But for all these challenges, the regime has signalled that it is prepared to combat dissent in what promises to be some tumultuous months ahead.

Digitalism Got Hella Kraftwerk-ian, Brought 2007 Back at Bardot Miami, May 11
It's not often you get the chance to go back in time.
Well, technically speaking, the laws of physics might make this impossible. But that's just one more reason why the Digitalism show at Bardot was so special.
When Jens "Jence" Moelle and İsmail "Isi" Tüfekçi took the stage (because the Midtown Miami club had to build a stage just for the German duo), it was almost like we were back in 2007 all over again. For a sweet hour and a half, things were good.

-Digitalism on EDM in America: "Las Vegas Is Getting Bigger Than Ibiza, It's Supercool"
The hours leading up to Digitalism's performance were pretty chill. The DJ was spinning lots of really groovy disco and the pool table was getting a work out. It took a while for the "sold out" dance floor to pack tight. But by the time the lights dimmed at about 12:30 a.m., it was like, "Good luck squeezing into the front row."
They started things off appropriately with "Miami Showdown," the dark stage flashing in blue strobe. They were hella Kraftwerkian up there, just two dudes hunched over some small equipment, rocking their bodies in perfect, almost freaky unison.
They sped up the beat as it turned into "Idealistic," the punchy single from their debut album. They kept the vibe moving up and down throughout the night, sometimes going deep and dark, while other times setting the crowd off on jumping fits.
The backdrop was the cover of their second album I Love You Dude, just a white heart on a black cloth. It's safe to say they're still running on those feel-good vibes. They led the crowd in so many claps and flashed so many heart hands, you'd think they'd never seen Digitalism live either.
In fact, it has been a while since the duo hit a stage without turntables. And this is kind of a special tour, not lined-up with the promotion of any release in particular. They were just having fun, and it showed on their faces.

More About:
A number of Midwestern auctions reported hay prices at 50-60% of what they were a year ago.
Hay prices have backed off, in some cases sharply, at hay auctions in the Upper Midwest since the first of the year.
For the most part, auction owners and managers believe the market will stay steady the next few months. But a long winter could tighten supplies enough to push prices higher before new crop comes on.
"There's just a lot more hay available out here than there was a year ago," says Willie Groeneweg. He's owner of Dakota Hay Auction, Corsica, SD, which holds weekly Monday sales year-round. "Across the board, prices are off 50-60%" from what they were a year ago.
At Dakota's last sale in January, a load of "pretty decent, but not dairy-quality" alfalfa in round bales topped the market at $127.50/ton. On the low end, grinding hay sold for $110/ton.
Grass hay didn't fare any better at that sale. "We saw $102.50/ton at the high end and $65/ton at the low end. Most sold in the $80-90/ton range."
Relatively dry weather could nudge the market upward later in the winter, Groeneweg believes. "We haven't had that much in the way of snow in our area this winter. There have been reports of some cracks starting to show up on bare ground. If it continues dry, people might start holding onto hay they have, thinking they'll need it themselves next winter. That could cut into the supply a little and take prices higher."
Prices moved downward at the weekly Wednesday Fort Atkinson Hay sales in Fort Atkinson, IA. "During January, it seemed like the price moved lower week by week," says auction owner Carl Shirk.
Better-quality alfalfa hay recently sold for $200-225/ton, he reports. Last fall, the same type of hay brought $75-100/ton more.
One reason for the price drop, says Shirk, is that many dairy farmers bought hay earlier in 2013 than normal. "A lot of them got caught short on supplies a year ago, and they didn't want to get into that same kind of situation this year. So they built up their inventories. Now we're seeing a crunch on prices. The demand isn't there."
Shirk looks for prices to hold steady or trend lower until late winter or early spring. "We could see demand pick up a little bit if guys start running short. But until then, I don't see any kind of drastic changes in price coming."

The trend is similar at the Equity Cooperative Livestock Sales Association's weekly Friday hay sales in Lomira, WI. Early in January, large square bales of dairy-quality alfalfa, weighing 750-800 lbs, went for $90-120/bale, reports auction manager Leo Amend. By the end of the month, the selling price was $70-100/bale.
Amend also believes dairy producers' early buys could be playing a role. "We had better-than-average runs at the sale all through the summer and fall here. Normally, later in the summer, we'll get one or two loads a week coming through. But this last year, we were getting 15-20 loads a week. Guys wanted to put some hay into storage early instead of waiting until the last minute to buy."
Prices for lower-end grass hay at the auction also trended lower from $50-55/bale as January began to $30-40/bale at month's end. "The demand for the lower-quality hay has dropped off. That could be because we've had a turn in the weather. Producers want a little better hay to hold their cattle together."
Amend expects auction prices to hold at or near current levels through the winter. "In this area, there seems to be enough hay. We could have already hit the peak for the season. But you never know. If things get short in other areas, we could have more buyers coming in here."
The price falloff on higher-end alfalfa has been more modest at the first-and-third-Thursday, quality-tested sales at Mid-American Auction Co., Sauk Centre, MN.
"On the real fancy hay, prices have softened some in recent weeks," says auctioneer Al Wessel. "Real good" alfalfa brought $275-325/ton at his mid-January sale, down maybe $10-20/ton.
Part of the drop, Wessel says, could owe to dairy producers finding alternative feeds like corn or beet pulp or lower-quality hay to plug into rations. "The real good dairy guys always seem to be able to come up with a plan to make things work."
Prices in other hay categories are holding steady. Grass hay stored inside is currently bringing $175-200/ton. "The demand for that kind of hay has been pretty good," says Wessel. "It's often difficult to find in our part of the country. The plainer stuff, stored outside, has been bringing $120-140/ton, while meadow hay has been selling for around $100-110/ton."
He looks for the market to remain steady over the next several months. "Right now, there seems to be enough hay around. But there really isn't anything to throw away, either. If we have a long winter, supplies could get a little tight."
Contact Groeneweg at 605-946-5002; Shirk at 563-534-7513; Amend at 608-434-4030 or Wessel at 320-547-2206.

More reviews by DyingMessenger
-Jordana Lip Shine Glaze - 07 Strawberry-
This is by far the worst lip-gloss I have ever used.
Apart from being a "twist up" and brush applicator (both of which I despise), the formula of the gloss is very thick, sticky, and gloppy.
There is far too much glitter in this lip-gloss as well and the glitter sinks into the cracks in the lips and is fairly difficult to remove. Also I noticed that it is very drying so if you have dry lips and like to use a gloss to keep your lips from drying out, please, PLEASE stay away from this lip-gloss. It sucks all moisture from your lips :(
Unfortunately, the color of this gloss is absolutely stunning, however it looks far too frosty to wear on the lips.

Fox tells PM to delegate, like Jesus
PUBLISHED: 04 Jun 2010 11:19:08 | UPDATED: 05 Jun 2010 04:17:04PRINT EDITION: 04 Jun 2010
Businessman Lindsay Fox says Prime Minister Kevin Rudd could take a leaf out of Jesus Christ's unwritten book of man management and delegate some authority to his disciples.
The trucking boss, one of Australia's most respected business leaders, on Friday said Mr Rudd needs a lesson in delegating.
"You have to delegate some authority (to ministers)," Mr Fox told ABC Television.
"In the case of Jesus Christ he had 12 disciples and those disciples carried his message long after he was gone."
Mr Fox said not enough was being heard from Mr Rudd's "disciples", as his standing with voters tumbles in opinion polls.
"You can't run a government unless you're a total democratic dictator and there's only been a few of them in the world in the last 50 years," Mr Fox said.

Sozzi: My Post-Jobs Plan
Jobs day's hotly anticipated numbers are in. Guess what? You are reminded again to ignore outside influences and do your own due diligence on companies and macro reports. Listen to me and nobody else. But seriously, bad news is bad news? Good news is good news? Dogs are cats? Give me a break with this useless jargon. The fact is that while businesses are hiring, they are not bringing on new employees at the pace the stock market expected given the array of pressures attacking financial statements. That's why I always make earnings season my guide to help me predict the nonfarm payrolls reports.
And in summary... Listen to the messages of earnings seasons when thinking about employment, it's helpful #NFPMiss Brian Sozzi (@BrianSozzi)

As for an actionable post-jobs-report plan, I hate to say it but stay cautious on the markets. Three things support my view:
- A significant reduction in retail jobs will spread to other sectors of the economy in coming months, and it is a wakeup call to macro strategists expecting a boom in household consumption. A store closure wave is about to sweep across the U.S., trust me.
- December is initially being viewed as confirmation of a soft economic start to 2014 (no material weather revision upward).
- We just aren't getting the expansion in hours worked and wages that would facilitate quicker escape velocity. Remember this as the Federal Reserve appears to be on a preset course for taper (though it suggests otherwise).
- ICYMI (in case you missed it), currency is destroying the top lines of companies, leading to less leverage over expenses. Two decent examples are Kellogg (K) and Costco (COST). Are you paying attention to the impact of currency on financial statements? Probably not.
- Currency devaluations in emerging markets are causing companies to raise prices in these markets to the detriment of volumes.
- Clorox (CLX) and Procter & Gamble (PG) are losing market share in key categories.
- Speaking of Clorox, a 6% price increase on Glad trash bags goes into effect in March. Stock up now!
- Retailers won't budge from aggressive promotions in the first quarter, as per comments from consumer-products companies.
- If I had to pick a consumer-discretionary stock, it would be Polo Ralph Lauren (RL). I sense that expectations have been reset in front of multiple new growth avenues opening globally.

Pawscars honor top animal actors
Actress Noomi Rapace, as "Nadia," holds Rocco, a pit bull puppy in the film The Drop, staring the late James Gandolfini. Rocco is one of three puppies used to portray a dog found by the leading actor and was awarded an American Humane Association Pawscar award.By Sue Manning
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Honoring actors brings out red carpets, couture and — sometimes — creatures.

A monkey who's starred in 25 movies over two decades was top dog at the sixth annual Pawscars, the animal version of the Oscars. Waving a statue over her head in triumph, a beaming Crystal accepts the "lifetime diva achievement award" looking every bit the part in a pink, floor-length gown and necklace during the show streaming online Wednesday.
The Capuchin monkey, who played a Ben Stiller-slapping, key-stealing primate in Night at the Museum and a drug-dealing monkey in Hangover Part II, is "the Angelina Jolie of animal stars," said NCIS actress Pauley Perrette, who is hosting the show with teen actor Lou Wegner.
Holding her tiny hand, Perrette asks the prolific primate: "So Crystal, you have starred with some of the top leading men of all times — Bradley Cooper, Ben Stiller, Matt Damon, Robin Williams — did you have a favorite?"
Crystal nods and chitters as her "answer" appears on screen: "Robin did call me his favorite leading lady, but my favorite leading man has to be my trainer Tom Gunderson."
The show airs four days before the Academy Awards and honors other animal actors in categories such as best puppy under pressure and best supporting equine.Posted by on February 18, 2015 04:23 PM

Outdoor Alliance Comments on Colorado Roadless Rule
2011-07-14 / Thomas O'Keefe
Representing the collective interests of millions of individuals and thousands of businesses, Outdoor Alliance joined national and major regional organizations including Outdoor Industry Association, American Alpine Club, American Mountain Guides Association and The Colorado Mountain Club in commenting on the Colorado Roadless Rule.
Colorado's Roadless Areas, unroaded backcountry areas on the National Forest, offer first-rate outdoor recreation opportunities that represent a finite resource. As our nation continues to develop and our intact landscapes become increasingly fragmented, the value of our undeveloped public lands only increases. USDA pledged that the Colorado rule would be "as protective or preferably more protective" than the National Roadless Rule. While significant progress has been made, and the current draft is greatly improved from previous versions, the proposed Colorado Rule still falls short of this standard.
In our comments we identified areas of material improvement from past versions of a proposed rule to manage Colorado's roadless areas. Specifically, language on preserving roadless area characteristics has been modified to better focus management on conservation and stewardship of roadless areas. Insect and disease outbreak language has been made more conservative by replacing previous language with ecosystem-focused management language. Finally, more explicit language on restoring any new roads roads that may be constructed in these areas was added.
While the proposed rule is much improved from earlier efforts, the meager acreage presently in the upper tier category (562,200 acres) precludes the proposed rule from hitting the Obama Administration's target of a rule that will provide conservation protections as strong as or stronger than the 2001 Roadless Rule. We completed an analysis of several areas of importance to our community that should be added to the upper tier including the following noteworty examples:
The Colorado Trail, an iconic destination for mountain bikers and hikers, crossing through 26 CRAs along its 483-mile route;
The Continental Divide Trail, which traverses Colorado's highcountry for 800 spectacular miles of its route from the Canadian border to Mexico;
The Animas River Canyon and its tributaries, a world-famous whitewater boating destination;
The Arkansas River Valley, home to peerless mountain biking trails and whitewater;
The Cache La Poudre Canyon and its upper reaches, presenting outstanding opportunities for backcountry winter travel, climbing, hiking, mountain biking and whitewater boating, all within a short drive from Colorado's Front Range population centers;
The Vail Pass area, and other tremendously popular backcountry areas for winter recreation and summer hiking in and around Colorado's Summit County.
We also provided recommended stronger protection language for conservation of roadless area values and characteristics of Upper Tier lands in the form of No Surface Occupancy. In addition we recommended clearer standards for Linear Construction Zones.

LaTorreSeptember 2001 |
I think that gay guys are subconsciously programmed to be able to detect another gay guy when they come across one. Call it intuition. Call it radar or 'gaydar.' Whatever it is, gay guys can always find each other.
I was at the coffeehouse hanging with my friend Jenny. We were chatting it up when a friend of hers showed up. I remember meeting Christian (not his real name of course) a few weeks ago when a friend of mine was singing one night. He intrigued me somewhat, but I didn't think much about him then.
We had a three way conversation for a while. Christian seem to be grilling me. I didn't have a problem with that since I just assumed he wanted to get to know me.
What did bug me was that I was getting this buzz in the back of my head. It was like something was off. I just pushed it away.
Christian's friends eventually showed up and he started to talk to them. I breathed a sigh of relief and kept right on talking to Jenny. More people showed up and I sat closer to Jenny (we have this knock for being quirky and not sitting at the same tables sometimes). A minute later, Christian just came over and sat across from me. Nothing wrong with that, I thought. Jenny, Christian, and I continued our conversation. Then I realized he was talking to Jenny, but just looking at me.
When that realization hit, I felt two things. I felt the buzz in my head again. I also felt...well...aroused at the thought that this guy might be gay and find me interesting. Of course, I freaked and just left at the idea that a hot guy could like me. Besides, I thought it was all in my head.
A couple of days (by coincidence), I found out the truth. Christian was gay and SINGLE. My reaction was priceless. People could have mistaken me for some preteen girl at an NSync concert with my happy shrieking.
I realized something about that buzz in my head from that situation. It's just my gut instinct. Other people would say it was their radar or 'gaydar.' Sometimes I've been known to call it intuition. Whatever the case, I just think that most gay guys have it. Most of the time, it's right regardless of what people say. The next time you get a buzz in your head after a hot guy walks by, you should remember that chances are probably good you're right.
LaTorre (who wouldn't mind a buzz being set off by a member of NSync)

It initially looked like he might have a broken bone, but he was able to put some weight on the leg as he was helped off, suggesting that it might not be a severe injury. Hector Carrasco or Kevin Gregg would likely move into the rotation if Santana requires a DL stint. Gregg replaced him tonight.

I'm guessing at worst it's a bone contusion, ala what Dave Roberts had. Roberts was out two weeks, but the good news is, a baseball isn't as hard as a concrete wall. Might miss a start or perhaps just delay a few days. Could be a good rest for his arm actually.

Honeys, I'm ho-ome! Slightly tanned, very relaxed and massively jet lagged. I've also fallen very fiercely in love with Mexico, specifically the Yucatan peninsular. We started off in Cancun briefly, then trotted inland to the ruined Mayan city of Chichen Itza, back to the coast for a couple of days and then a final ten days of enjoying some island sunshine. I had such a lovely time being away from the world that coming back has been a shock to the system. Especially as our house decided to welcome us home with a broken boiler and a leaking roof! I have lots of stories and photographs to share, but for the time being my poor mushy brain wants to keep things simple. Enjoy some pretty pictures, and I will be back with stories and food and a whole lot of clothes just as soon as I can figure out what day it is.

"Dedicated to making the University of Toledo campus a safer environment for all"
Bullying is hostile, destructive behavior, intentional and persistent in nature, directed at another individual. It can be perpetrated by a single individual or a group. Bullying can take on many forms; physical, verbal, relational and cyber.
It is a myth to believe that bullying only occurs between juveniles.
Click here to read the letter to the UT community on hazing and bullying.
What is cyberbullying?
The use of email, text messages, online video blogs, social networking, web pages, and other electronic means to intentionally harm another individual is cyberbullying. Attacks on persons through cyber space are a growing concern. Harmful statements become easier to send or post as the electronic medium provides the perpetrator distance and even anonymity. The public attacks which occur on the web can be extremely damaging to the victim.
Click here for information on reporting incidents of cyberbullying directly to Facebook. This will take you directly to Facebook.
Victims of bullies suffer from low self esteem, depression and may become suicidal. College
students that commit suicide or perpetrate school shootings have often been bullied. What happens to victims?
Some victims turn their anger outward and become hostile and aggressive toward others.
Bullying behavior is a violation of one or more of the rules outlined in the University of Toledo Student Code of Conduct:How is bullying addressed at the University of Toledo?
Rule 5: Physical abuse, verbal abuse, threats, intimidation, harassment, coercion, retaliation or other conduct which threatens or endangers the health or safety of any person.
Rule 6: Discriminatory harassment or retaliation, verbal, physical or otherwise, based on sex, race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, disability or handicap, age, military or veteran status, gender identity or expression, or sexual orientation, towards another person that has the purpose or effect of creating an offensive or intimidating living and learning environment, or interferes with the individual's education or work environment or participation in or benefit from a University class, program, event or activity, or will cause physical or mental injury or any violation
of University's discrimination, harassment or retaliation policies 3364-50-01 or -02, as such may be amended from time to time.
Rule 16: Conduct that is disorderly, lewd, or indecent; breach of peace; or aiding, abetting or procuring another person to breach the peace on University Premises or at functions sponsored by, or participated in by, the University or members of the University community.
What is hazing?
Hazing is simply a more systematic form of bullying defined as doing, requiring, or
encouraging an act which endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student, or which destroys or removes public or private property, for the purpose of initiation, admission into, affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership in, a group or organization. The express or implied consent of the victim will not be a defense. Apathy or acquiescence in the presence of hazing are not neutral acts and are also violations in their own right. Hazing is a violation of rule 9 of the University of Toledo Student Code of Conduct.
How do I report an incident of bullying or hazing?
There is no place for bullying on the UT campus. If you have been the victim of bullying or know someone who has, please submit a report to your Resident Assistant (RA), Hall Director, Professor, or to the UT Police. You can also contact the people listed at the bottom of this web page.

All reports are thoroughly investigated to the full extent of the information provided.
If someone threatens to cause physical harm to you or another, call the police. If the threat occurred on campus, contact UT Police at 419.530.2600.

Reviews / Re: Review - Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM
« on: April 12, 2013, 11:23:44 AM »
The real test: Would any current 35L users consider trading for the Sigma 35?
This section allows you to view all posts made by this member. Note that you can only see posts made in areas you currently have access to.
Err, I think canon is losing it. Why not just re-vamp the 24-105L Mk.2?
This lens will be DOA.
Having no knowledge of Magic Lantern, what can I except this to offer me for someone who doesn't shoot video?
Increasing the record time would be a gimme.
will never happen. it´s a tax thing.
I feel the tests DxO runs is heavily biased towards Nikon anyways. It's hard to believe not a single Canon camera is in the top 10, and the 7D isn't even in the top 50.

Climate change gives us an opportunity to craft ourselves new futures.
"In times of crisis, long before help arrives from the outside world, people act to protect themselves from hunger, disease and harm."
It is in human nature to need the support and comfort a community can provide in a time of uncertainty.
In order to meet the challenges brought about with climate change communities will have to be strengthened; if not created from the ground up. The systems we know today may no longer exist, or function as we know. We may not be able to rely on governments and large institutions to react and adapt quickly enough to the challenges that we will all face.
Community based design, action and implementation are the key to sustaining life during climate change. We will need to make creative communities, based on mutual support, mobility, adaptability and collaboration.

Many Galaxy S4 software features will come to S3
Drew Blackard, director of product planning for Samsung's mobile business in the U.S., tells CNET that many features not dependent on hardware will make their way to other Samsung devices.
If you just bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 and envy some of the new Galaxy S4 features, you may be in luck.
Drew Blackard, director of product planning for Samsung's mobile business in the U.S., told CNET that many software features will make their way to other Samsung devices such as the Galaxy S3 and Note 2.
"Our hope is to bring anything that's not dependent on hardware to other devices," he said.
Blackard didn't have any details about timing for that but suggested it will be sooner rather than later. For prior releases, the update has hit older phones in about a couple months, he said. And updating the Samsung features isn't dependent on an Android update by Google.
Samsung today launched the Galaxy S4 during an event in New York City's Radio City Music Hall. The device was largely applauded for its new features, though the design itself isn't a huge leap from the S3. Samsung is counting on some of its more innovative software advances to set its device apart from rivals.
However, if users can get many of those features on the Galaxy S3, it may make them more hesitant to fork over the extra cash for the S4.

It's easy to think of winter as a bleak, dead time when your garden is to be ignored. But winter can add a special beauty to the garden.
In landscaping, think beyond pretty flowers and impressive foliage. Think about using some shrubs and trees that have interesting shapes in fall and winter. I have a couple of miniature Japanese maples with quirky shapes that have visual interest, even when their delicate crimson leaves have fallen. I also love the Harry Lauder's Walking Stick; its contorted branches give it sculptural interest, especially in the winter. Both of these trees grow very slowly, so they won't take over your garden and ruin your layout!
Although the winter winds and snows will eventually pummel them, hydrangeas can be breathtaking in the fall, when their blooms have dried out and they have turned brown or reddish.
Ornamental grasses, such as fountain grass, are nice to leave up in the winter, says Tina Gossner, of Durham. A master gardener and landscape designer, likes their color and shape, and that animals feed on them.
Larger trees may have interesting shapes off-season, too. Gossner planted a weeping birch next to her house for its graceful shape. Birdfeeders hang in the trees around her house, and, with the leaves down, the birds are easy to see. Under her apple tree is a great place to sit in any season; her favorite tree is accented by a stone bench and flagstone walkways.
Terraces, patios and walls — especially when made of natural materials — take on a sculptural look when the trees have shed their leaves and flowers are nowhere to be found. When dusted (or covered) with snow, they have yet another look.
Planting bushes that provide food for birds, such as the bright red winterberry, not only adds color; it helps native and transient (migrating) birds survive. Consult a garden center that doesn't just sell plants they don't grow. Look for a place with staff who know about sustainable gardening that helps maintain (or restore) the balance of nature.
Nancy DuBrule of Natureworks in Northford is one such person.
"The garden in winter can be a place of great beauty. As the leaves fall off of the deciduous trees, the evergreens become the star of the show. Pines, spruces, cedars, and hemlocks not only provide color in the garden, they offer shelter to birds and wildlife; pine cone seeds and holly berries are also an important food source for them."
For visual impact, she suggests planting shrubs and trees that have colorful branches or interesting bark.
"There are dogwoods with orange twigs, and willows with orange stems; stewartia (a camellia tree) has beautiful peeling bark."
DuBrule also suggests making containers of evergreens for cold weather decoration.
She suggests trying a native plant theme: combine berries (such as inkberry) with woodland ground covers such as wintergreen and partridgeberry, and add a few rocks and some moss. Put them on the patio or on the front porch, or as accent by that not-so-lovely garage door.
Personally, I think Christmas decorations—wreaths and such—are lovely left up until the first signs of spring. Okay, stash the multicolored lights and the inflatable snowmen…
Finally, a few wintery ideas from my friend Candace Kearney, a landscape designer at Winterberry Gardens in Southington:
"The silver blue needles and pyramidal form of the Colorado spruce provide height, color and contrast," she says. "You can almost imagine yourself up in the Rocky Mountains. I especially like Baby Blue Eyes, a dwarf spruce that grows slowly."
Another favorite of hers is the white birch.
"It offers a strong vertical anchor, an impressive slash of white in both the summer and winter landscape."
She also favors the river birch (Betula Nigra), whose peeling bark offers great "texture."
As she says, "winter can be a time of looking out on the frozen world as a bleak and cold place, or it can be a time of enjoying winter vistas from your windows, and bundling up to go walking in a winter wonderland.

Charging Electric Cars from the Grid: A Good Choice – or the Best Choice for Lowering Global Warming Emissions?
April 19th, 2012
Electric vehicles, hailed by some as the greenest cars on the planet, have also been dismissed by others as an expensive way to do little more than move vehicle emissions from the tailpipe to a smokestack. So who's got it right? My colleague, Amine Mahmassani, who works in the Clean Vehicles program at UCS recently co-authored a new report on electric vehicles which clears the air on the issue. I interviewed Amine to see what I could learn about global warming emissions from charging vehicles on the electricity grid. Read More

WoW Patch 3.1 PTR Druid glyphs and undocumented changes {WoW}
Feb 26th 2009 6:06AM Allison you're going to have a hard time writing your 'gear for 3.1 changes' ;)
-If- Savage Defence becomes important the current leather available is simply not catered for it.
For instance, you have an old low ilvl epic, and it has great crit and haste and AP ratings - but a brand spanking new ulder epic drops that's loaded with agility and stamina.
Now if you don't have another slot piece which can substitute those haste/crit/ap stats, then you're stuck using it until you find a replacement.
Seems like never before Bears will have to really understand their stats and gear - aiming for specific numbers. Hope someone works out those numbers for me ;p
All depends on how necessary SD turns out I guess.

noax microcontroller
Integrated system monitoring - the advantage of operational reliability
Built-in reliability - there is such a thing because our industrial PCs are standardly equipped with the noax microcontroller. This controller automatically assumes numerous monitoring and control functions, for example, it controls the operating temperature and monitors the voltage. The microcontroller makes the user's work easy, increases operational reliability of the industrial PC and thus ensures greater system stability in machines and plants. The user-friendly Windows mask enables operating conditions, for example, voltage, temperature, or background lighting to be individually adjusted and controlled. In the case of critical operating conditions, a warning note appears before the automatic shut-off feature in the noax industrial PC is activated which properly shuts down the computer.
The noax microcontroller is a standard component in all noax industrial PCs, thus ensuring greater reliability by:
- Monitoring the input voltage
- Monitoring the board-typical voltages (Core, 5V,12V...)
- Temperature monitoring
- Controlling the background lighting
- Displaying operating conditions
Windows setup program
The Windows setup program allows you to conveniently and transparently configure all functions in the microcontroller unit. In addition, the program displays all voltages and temperatures in the industrial PC.
The Windows setup program is available to download in the service area under "download."

NEWS FLASH: Muslim Brotherhood Claims Victory in Egypt Presidential Election
IF MURSI BECOMES PRESIDENT (winning second round run-off):
Remember that he and the Brotherhood are now not even trying to hide their extremism, openly demanding an immediate Sharia state and a Caliphate. In fact, I'd suggest they could have done much better in the first round if they had continued to pretend more moderation. Also Mursi was not an attractive candidate personally. Remember he was not the Brotherhood's first choice but stepped in at the last moment when someone else was disqualified.
This would set off a crisis that will dominate the region for a decade or two. This would be a catastrophe equal to and perhaps greater than the Iranian revolution. No exaggeration. If there isn't a war with Israel within three years (Hamas backed by Egypt or even involving Egypt) it would be a miracle.
Note that what's most important is not the presidency in isolation but:
- Brotherhood control over parliament and president and writing constitution.
- Brotherhood triumphalism, which we have seen repeatedly, belief in victory leading to arrogance and more extremism.
There will be panic. Christians and liberals will start packing their bags.

I think it will be Mohammed Mursi. The problem Arab nationalists face is the fact the Islamists are in a very strong position. Either way, even a moderate non-Islamist President has his hands tied and has no real way to pursue his agenda. The Muslim Brotherhood will be in the government either through a strong President if it wins or it can select a Prime Minister to implement its policies.
Whatever happens in the second round of the presidential race, Egypt is in all likelihood is going to have an Islamist regime. The liberal Facebook kids won't be running Egypt and deciding its future.

I suppose this means that Madonna will not be performing in Cairo after her show in Tel Aviv this weekend. When that happens Egypt will have achieved a "moderate" level of liberal democracy. Call it the Madonna test. She is 53 years old so they better hurry up.

What a mess Obama helped create! Here is Bernard Lewis's view on the Arab Spring, from Notes on a Century, page 342:
I am mistrustful and view with apprehension a genuine free election – assuming that such a thing could happen – because the religious parties have an immediate advantage. First, they have a network of communication through the preacher and mosque which no other political group can hope to equal. Second, they use, familiar, indigenous, language. The language of Western democracy is for the most part newly translated and the concepts are not readily intelligible to the general population. A dash towards Western-style elections, far from representing a solution to the region's difficulties, constitutes a dangerous aggravation of the problem and I fear that radical Islamic movements are ready to exploit so misguided a move. In genuine fair and free elections , the Muslim parties are very likely to win. A much better course would be a gradual development of democracy, not through general elections, but rather through civil society and the strengthening of local institutions. For that, there is a real tradition in the region.

The victorious Islamists will promise jobs,clean water, food, infrastructure, reform, and dignity. Of these, they will only actually provide 'dignity'–which is of course a code word for racism, hysteria, hatred, paranoia, and war. The Egyptian economy will continue to collapse. And the odds that collapsing, starving, crumbling, imploding Egypt will build a nuclear weapon? Oh, roughly about 100 percent. Dignity requires nothing less.

They Ikhwan may be lying, since they have clearly exhibited a penchant for it, but if they aren't then there is going to be trouble ahead. I haven't believed for a second that Abul-Fotouh ever even left their organization regardless of his public actions or statements. The Ikhwan seem to me to be a blood in/blood out kind of organization and you don't achieve that high a position in it and then just take off when it is on the verge of its greatest triumph. He was a useful tool and the MB's greatest hope was that there would be a runoff between he and Mursi so they would win no matter what. Even though that doesn't appear to be in the cards there is little doubts where his votes are going and the FJP is only going to have to syphon off a few more votes in the next month to gain the presidency, if the military allows it that is. On that note I never see any articles or info on the web that take into account the rate of MB infiltration of the officer corps which I have to think they have been doing these last few decades.
In any case, Egypt's economy is in a death spiral and if there is an Ikhwan takeover then they will send those millions of unemployed youth off to war because it will be easier to kill them off and to celebrate their martyrdom than it will be to find them jobs

40 million women in Egypt are about to go behind the vail and forced to submit to the men in their lives, their freedom has ended because of Obama and the stupidity emanating from the State Department led by Hillary. Bush freed 40 million from the lash of Saddam and Obama brought the Brotherhood from out under the rock that they have been hiding under. That will be Obama's and Hillary's legacy, they brought slavery back to Egyptian women. Voting in the United States has consequences worldwide, because of the vetting of the MSM and the Democrat Party 40 million Egyptian women gets to have their heads used for rock throwing. What a disgusting bunch of people in the Democrat Party anymore.

When I was in Egypt in 2008, I was told by numerous people that in a straight up, fair and square election, the Islamists would win 75% of the vote. This is not a surprise to anyone paying attention. Next up….war with Israel when they realize they can't get the economy moving and they have 20 million unemployed young people to mollify. Egyptian Christians should start looking for a safe place to hang out.

Well, between 8 million Christians fleeing and 15-20 million Egyptians being killed by Israeli nukes when the Egyptians are crazy enough to attack Israel, they'd certainly solve their population problem.

1. Where can 15 million Christian Copts possibly flee TO?
2. If it comes to war with Israel, one hopes that Israel will relentlessly target the MB leadership circles and their economic interests, not just massacre a bunch of starving peasants.

1. I don't want all those Copts coming here, because of the anti-Semitism/anti-Israelism they will bring, but let's say we take 500,000 and Canada and Australia each 50-100K. The rest can go to Western Europe, which due to their declining non-Muslim populations, could use them. And where their anti-Semitism would fit right in.
2. I imagine the MB leaders would be targeted by the nuke(s) launched on Cairo.

Female genital mutilation apparently has not been an issue in the campaign. Mubarak and his wife outlawed the procedure when they were in power.
What do Egyptian women think about this? For that matter, what do Egyptian men think about this?I could imagine 90% of Egyptian women and 30% of Egyptian men voting against the Muslim Brotherhood if this issue entered the campaign. But what I could imagine is simply a guess-imagination.

An elected MB leadership will almost certainly run Egypt into the ground. In a democracy, the voters would then vote them out at the next election. Don't count on that happening–or being allowed to happen.

The die is cast, and by one means or another, and in one time frame or the other (short or mid-term), the Islamists will come to power.
Whether this will bring war with Israel, as in all-out war, it's too early to say. Clearly, that's the inevitable and ultimate direction or outcome, but it may take more than three years. Well, hopefully. In the meantime, the current regime is clearly very ambivalent about the Islamist presence both in Gaza and Sinai. When it does act, it does so only to protect itself, not to help Israel in any way. And the IDF is gradually shifting to viewing Egypt as a permanently hostile border. Now that will speed up.
The stuff about Israel massacring millions of peasants – fantasy.

I recently returned to the U.S. from living in Switzerland for two & a half years this last April. I've preferred PC gaming pretty much since 1998-2000, so it wasn't hard for me to keep up on my hobby over there with a good gaming laptop and Steam. However, there have been a lot of good console exclusive games that made me decide to get a 360 when I returned to the States. (Red Dead Redemption, Mortal Kombat 9, Catherine, Castle Crashers, Shadow Complex, the Assassin's Creed games--yeah, they're on the PC, but the always-online DRM they had until last week made them non-buys). I'm really liking this console, especially some of the XBLA games. That leads to my question.
How good is the XBLA service in Europe?
I don't just mean in the U.K, but in continental Europe like Germany, France, & Switzerland. For example, did Mark of the Ninja come out this Friday over there, or is it going to be a while before it's available? Do you not get some games? My German & French are passable, but how's the voice over work? (Not exactly the most important thing for XBLA games, but I might as well ask). Thanks for the input.
