Monqui Presents
Holy Ghost!
Midnight Magic, Karl Kling
Wonder Ballroom
128 Northeast Russell Street
Portland, OR, 97212
Doors 7:30 PM / Show 8:30 PM
This event is all ages
Holy Ghost! (DFA) are born and bred New Yorkers Alex Frankel and Nick Millhiser. The two disco and hot sauce enthusiasts met in elementary school and have been playing in bands together ever since. Yes, they've managed to branch out that little.
After working as studio musicians and live players for DFA Records honchos James Murphy, Tim Goldsworthy, and Juan Maclean, Frankel and Millhiser formed Holy Ghost! over a shared love of analog synthesizers, Larry Levan era-disco, and good old fashioned pop music. At the insistence of Murphy, the duo released their first original song, "Hold On," on DFA Records. The song's recipe - a mix of Italo beats and pop
vocals sans irony - hit a chord worldwide and became a major cross over success. Club support from DJ's as different as A-Trak and David Mancuso came instantly, and mainstream support followed suit. Itunes named "Hold On" Single of The Week and spawned thousands of downloads daily.
Propelled by the success of "Hold On," Holy Ghost! released a string of hit remixes for artists like MGMT, Cut Copy, Phoenix, and Moby, and traveled across the world DJ'ing on every continent (except Antartica). The group's second original single, " I Will Come Back," received further critical acclaim from taste makers like Pitchfork and saw heavy rotation on MTV2 with a brilliant, New Order inspired video. After releasing a cover swap with British band Friendly Fires on XL/DFA, the duo will unveil their Live band and release an EP of new, original music on DFA in early 2010. To support it, they'll open up for LCD Soundsystem in the US and then head to Europe to play summer festivals. Their full length debut is due out later this year.
Midnight Magic
When Midnight Magic popped up on Tim Sweeney's Beats In Space 'Best of 2009' they really should've had a record out. They also should've had something available for download when they appeared on a recent Best of Myspace U.K. And it probably would've been a good idea to have something in the shops when Patrick Adams of Waves at Night told his readers that Midnight Magic was "going to be a very hot prospect for '10." But they didn't. Not the best idea. No: not the best idea at all. The best idea was for them to release their first single, 'Beam Me Up,' on Permanent Vacation Records this summer—And that wasn't even their idea! We have to thank the Germans for finally putting an end to the madness.

You'll Be Surprised At How Affordable They Are! Click here to know more How To Choose The Perfect Corset By Amanda Cotterill Corsets can instill dread in the hearts and minds of many women, many because of the constrictive nature of their very existence. Harkening back to times past and the constrictive women's underwear that went with it is often a thought that many women immediately perish, but the corset does, in fact, still have some value. Corsetry was once a staple in women's underwear and, although less restricting garments have replaced it, the corset has never really gone out of style. Some women enjoy wearing a corset as sexy underwear once in a while for a little extra stimulation in the bedroom and others still partake in something called "waist training" (altering the shape of the torso with the use of a corset). Whatever your reasons are, here are a few tips for buying your first corset. Shapes and Styles A corset is not a bustier. A corset is usually worn in conjunction with a blouse or dress, unlike a bustier, which you can wear on its own. Corsets don't cover as much of the bust as you might think. Most corsets stop just below the bust or only cover it halfway. Here are some basic corsetry styles available: * Over bust: the corset extends far enough to cover the breasts * Cups: contains an underwire bra with cups for added support * Half bust: only covers the lower half of the breasts, giving you a "peek-a-boo" effect * Under bust: no breast coverage at all Aside from the bust line, there are different shapes for the hips too: * Short hip: originally designed for riding, this corset allows better movement in the hip area. * Mid hip: best for day to day wear, the mid hip corset distributes the pressure from the corset evenly, yet still allows you to move freely and comfortably. * Long hip: very restrictive, but offers more tummy control Choose The Sex Of Your Baby Finally discover how to successfully Choose the Sex of your Baby. Page 1 Presented by Daniel Toriola * Titanic Era: styled after a type of corset worn in the 1800s and places a strong emphasis on posture. This one will cure you of slouching for sure and is best worn with full skirts. * Corset dress: This full length corset is a favourite among the fetish groups. Frequently used in waist and obedience training. Does it sound extreme? It should. In this corset you won't be able to sit, and in some cases, you won't be able to walk very well either. You'll want to choose a corset in a colour that will go with anything. Black and white are the most popular choices. As time goes on and you decide you enjoy wearing a corset, you may want to invest in one or two more elaborately designed pieces. Size Waist measurements establish the size of a corset, so standard dress measurements used for women's underwear do not apply. For the most part, women are encouraged to select a corset that is about four inches smaller than the typical waist measurement. This allows the corset to be laced tighter, allowing gaps between the lacing. Because a corset is designed to craft curves, a corset should have more contour than the woman wearing it. A corset, like most sexy lingerie, can be costly, but most women find that the final purchase is more than worth it for the quality of the garment. Some corsets are made with less than quality materials, so these should be avoided at all costs. Instead of rushing into a corset purchase, it is recommended that suitable time and care is taken when determining the right corset, as you would with any other valued piece of women's underwear, so that the purchase will provide memories that will last a lifetime. Amanda Cotterill has been involved in the sexy lingerie market in the UK for many years. This article outlines the benefits of women choosing the perfect corset of the type shown on http://www.maryjanelingerie.co.uk/corsets/. Please include this credit if you use this article.

Page 2 Presented by Daniel Toriola Your guide to buying and wearing a Corset By Miss Kensington Your guide to buying and wearing a Corset by Miss Kensington Buying a corset will do wonders for your sex appeal. Please remember that you need to have a figure if you are too over weight you wont get the same look. I am size 36, 34, 40 and I can look good! I would start with a black satin number and once you have your confidence start to go for other colours and styles. Personally i have 8 corsets, and each one makes me feel curvy and sexy. Invest in a corset this should not be a one time, one wear purchase, you will look to pay between $150 and $300 which should last you a lifetime. My favourite corset retailer is Agent Provocateur however there are many online channels to purchase use our search function on the top right hand of this page and type the word "corset" to get corset related search results. Over the years I have perfected lacing my own corsets, however you will need some help at first but here are a few tips; Loosen the lacing at the back of the corset to achieve an even gap of approx 4 inches from top to bottoms. Make sure all the hooks are undone on the front of the corset and place the corset around your body so the lace is behind and the fastens/hooks are at the front. You should now have the lace hanging down either side e.g. left behind and right behind. Fasten the front of you corset, it should still be loose since you have not tightened the lace from behind. Once fastened pull the left and right lace from behind, pull it together slowly to avoid damage to the corset boning. Your corset should be comfortable yet supportive and you should be able to breath in and out without feeling constricted. After a few weeks of wearing the corset you can shorten the lace strings since the corset would have gelled more with your body. Please note that you should leave at least 18 inches of lace. Caring for your corset is key, if you have purchased on a quality retailer you should have received a box with tissue paper. If not purchase these 2 things and wrap your corset away after each use. You dont need to wash you corset after every use; I wear mine at least once a week and only wash every couple of months. You will find hanging your corset out on a washing line to air will be enough to keep it fresh. To wash I recommend dry cleaning or a gentle hand wash using a very mild detergent. Do not at any times wash in a washing machine or tumble dry. Please always read the washing instructions on your corset before undertaking the cleaning process. Have fun and feel sexy!

About BentFranklin
If I understand this article correctly, the security flaws that "Exposed Her Emails To Foreign Spies" include using her own server (probably insecure but we don't know that for a fact) and using off-site backups (also probably insecure but we don't know that for a fact either). Did I miss anything?
Longtime listener of Harry Shearer's Le Show. You can stream or download it here:
On the one hand, many of his bits, including News from Outside the Bubble, News of the Warm, Apologies of the Week, Tales of Airport Security, and his comedic sketches are excellent. On the other hand, I find many others tired or way off the mark, including the aforementioned "So They Say" bit.
Plus, I was really taken aback recently when I heard him criticizing the use of nitrogen gas, of all things, in a chemical plant, insinuating that it's toxic. Because of that I just decided to maybe not be such a dedicated listener any more. But if you can separate the wheat from the chaff, you'll get some good wheat.
Second worst. But yeah, pretty bad.
I agree with you there but that has nothing to do with the Oscars.
Consider the Oscars to be promotion. You can't seriously blame downloading on promotion. For all the things that I despise about Hollywood, promoting their works is not one of them.
Can we hit Superfish with CFAA violations?
Naturally, they are free to sue or take over the board of they can.
If you disagree with Elon, sells your shares. If you agree, buy them. Either way, just shut up and let your money talk.
This article is very weak sauce. They have every right and, if you ask personal injury lawyers, the obligation, to prevent users from burning themselves up. Would rather see TechDirt focusing on dirtier dirt.
OTOH, the overall practice of pushing software updates with unknown and undocumented effects is a very rich vein to mine in terms of bad practice by companies. Consumers should very much be told in advance what their updates are doing.
I totally agree with this, and I would include similar misconduct by police and prosecutors, such as withholding evidence.
I'm surprised that ASCAP did not request royalties for what was obviously a public performance.
I thought this was going to be about the asymmetry between the information hoarders, who have all the data and the tools and budgets to analyze and act on it, and the information paupers, (everyone else) who have nothing and yet pay for the hoarders' activities through taxes. It's a kind of strategic flanking. That much power has never been assembled not to be used, and used it will be, against us all, sooner or later, if not already.
I can't wait to have all my naughty bits patted down by TSA before they can be allowed on the internet.
I believe the following is true, but perhaps someone else can improve on it:
SSL/TLS relies on certificates, so if governments take over the certificate authorities they can run MITM attacks.
I know they do not want encryption and are undermining it, but to state they are "fighting encryption" when they are also saying "fighting terrorism" and "fighting drugs" puts the encryption issue in a whole different light. It would be as if they are saying encryption is terrorism.
I didn't see the phrase "fight encryption" anywhere in the quote, so I followed to the Bloomberg link, where that phrase also appears only in the headline. I would have been much more concerned if the DA had said "fight encryption" but thankfully not.
Agreed, and it wasn't necessary to say his apology was "a little late".
You can't book a one-way return Reno -> SF -> NYC and expect to board in SF. Also, one-way tickets cost more. And they expose you to special screening.
If you don't take the flight to Reno I think you might find they canceled your entire itinerary.
This is why I will never go paperless on my bills. Just try to see a three-year-old bill on anyone's paperless system. You'll be lucky if you can see more than three months back.

Which is why I have my wallet in my hand before the cop ever gets to my car. Also in Colorado (El Paso County) there's no "system" for him to check. Are you really that much of a failure at concealment that you can't get to your wallet W/out flashing your gun?
What I'm reading in your post is that if a cop sees an armed citizen it's completely OK for the cop to throw down on him/her based strictly on that fact. Do you really believe that?
I ask this question again because it seems to get ignored; How would you deal W/ a person legally carrying a weapon in their vehicle W/out a permit?

Add three-time major champion Padraig Harrington to the list of players considering using older-model Ping irons, whose square grooves remain on the golf's list of conforming clubs.
"But while they're out there being used, it's a difficult situation not to for anybody who's competitive not to go out there and take full advantage of what you can if somebody else is," Harrington said Tuesday, joining the fray which has divided golfers over new regulations on the shape of grooves in club heads.
Harrington said he's taking a wait-and-see approach for now, but isn't ruling anything out. "What I'm doing is I'm preparing myself for all eventualities," Harrington said. "It would be naïve not to."
In January, the USGA and The Royal & Ancient introduced rules designed to prevent tour professionals from putting excessive spin on golf balls when playing out of long, rough grass.
The measures have been greeted with mixed reactions and confusion on the PGA and European Tours. Phil Mickelson has found a way around the change by playing with a 20-year-old Ping wedge. Tour player Scott McCarron has claimed that it's "cheating" to use them.
The new regulation shrinks the volume and softens the edges of the club head grooves. Mickelson was among at least four players at Torrey Pines last week who used the Ping wedges, which have square grooves. The Ping wedges made before April 1, 1990, are approved for competition because of a 1990 settlement from Ping's lawsuit against the USGA.
Harrington said he tested a conforming Ping 60-degree wedge on Monday.
"Unfortunately the testing showed up exactly what you would expect, and there's a significant difference," he said in preparation for the Northern Trust Open at Riviera Country Club. "I think that significant difference depends on the players. Some players don't find that there was a difference between the old V-groove and box groove. Other players find that there is a big difference."
Earlier Tuesday, Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland said in Dubai that he wants golf authorities to reconsider the new regulations.
"I don't see why they don't firm greens up and get the rough longer to bring scores down," McIlroy said. "They can make golf courses a lot tougher and turn 20-under winning scores into 12 under."
McIlroy, 20, will defend his title at the Desert Classic on Thursday. He'd prefer other ways to make golf more difficult rather than tampering with club design. But he added that fans don't mind low scores.
"When I turn on the TV and I am watching a tournament, I don't like to see guys struggling for pars all the time," he said. "I think people like to see birdies as well."
Harrington said he would like to see some sort of clarification on the rules.
"I think most of us were brought up that you've got to adhere strictly by the rules, and whatever those rules are in place, you've got to play by them," he said.
Harrington said that after testing, he can't decide. "... Every 10 minutes it's in the bag, it's out of the bag," he said. "That's basically how it's been going. I haven't settled at all on what I'm going to do, but I'll have it could be 10 minutes before my tee time and not know what I'm going to do this week."

Most reported Buick problems
Fuel Gauge Needle Stuck on Wrong Side of "Empty Stop"
Do to a low or erratic voltage condition, the fuel gauge needle may "jump" around and become stuck on the back side of the "stop" below the "empty" indicator. This does not mean the gauge is broken. If the gauge cover is removed and the needle is gently moved back around to the correct side of the pin, the gauge will again function normally. When the needle is moved back to the correct position, the electrical problem that caused the needle to jump in the first place must be corrected or the needle may jump around again. The most common problems that cause this condition are a weak battery or corrosion on the battery cable ends.
Engine Overheating Due to Water Pump Leak
The water pump may develop a coolant leak resulting in an engine overheating condition.
Engine Overheating Due to Water Pump Leak
The water pump may develop a coolant leak resulting in an engine overheating condition.
Air Conditioning only blows out the bottom ventts
I had a new battery installed and since the air condition only blows out on my feet. I have heard that this is has been an issue with several owners. Have you run across this and any ideas how to fix it? (Fuses have been checked, and the battery has been disconnected and reinstalled)
Poor Ride/Handling Due to Worn Suspension Struts
The front struts may show signs of wear, or be excessively bouncy ride at freeway speeds. This may begin to occur at around 75,000 miles.
Steering May Develop Clunk Noise From Upper Intermediate Steering Shaft
The steering may develop a clunk type noise from the upper intermediate steering shaft. Our technicians tell us that you should check with your local GM dealer to find out what the latest repair is for this condition.
The Fuel Pump May Fail Causing the Engine to Stall or Crank Over But Not Start
The fuel pump may fail causing the engine to stall and not restart.
Check Engine Light Due to Gas Cap Issue
Illumination of the Check Engine Light can be caused by a loose or worn gas cap.
Car Won't Start and Security Light is On
Problems with anti-theft systems using the raised-chip key can prevent the car from starting. The wires in the steering column to the ignition lock cylinder tend to break. The key and ignition lock cylinder should be replaced to correct this condition.
Check Engine Light Due to Gas Cap Issue
A Loose or worn gas cap may cause Check Engine Light to illuminate.
Engine Stall Or No Start Condition
The fuel pump may fail causing engine to stall and not restart.
Erratic Fuel Gauge Operation
It is common for the fuel level sensor in the fuel tank read the fuel level incorrectly. The sensor must be replaced to correct the condition. Our technicians recommend having the complete fuel pump module replaced on high mileage vehicles.
Intake Manifold Gasket May Leak Coolant or Engine Oil
The intake manifold gasket may develop and external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Running the engine with a coolant/oil mix may result in engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct this issue.
Erratic Shifting of the Automatic Transmission
The transmission pressure control solenoid may fail causing erratic shifting. Our technicians tell us that partial dis-assembly of the transmission is necessary to replace a failed pressure control solenoid.

Easy travel tips: How shipping your luggage can save you money
Jan 23, 2012, 8:26 a.m.
Remember the days when you could check your luggage effortlessly at the curb (for free) and stroll to your airport departure gate unimpeded? If you've flown on a commercial airplane lately, you know that those days are long gone. Departing an airport today is a jumble of security checkpoints and regulations, luggage fees and miles of corridors to navigate. Wouldn't it be nice if you could eliminate lugging, checking and claiming your luggage from the equation? With a luggage shipping service, you can!
What Are Luggage Shipping Services?
Luggage shipping services handle getting your luggage to your hotel, ready and waiting for you when you arrive. They use common carriers, such as Federal Express, UPS and even the US Postal Service. Depending on the company, you can ship up to seven days in advance of your arrival and the price varies as to the weight of your bag and how far in advance you ship your luggage. Luggage services offer additional benefits over shipping directly with the carrier. They track your luggage and are available to instruct the carrier if any problems arise when you are en route. Most will also guarantee on time delivery. If your luggage is late, you don't have to pay.
Luggage services not only save you time, but they can actually save you money over airline baggage fees, especially if you travel with a lot of luggage. Most major airlines currently charge $25 each way for the first bag and $35 for the second bag you check. After that, the prices rise dramatically, up to $150 or more. Over-sized and especially heavy bags will cost you even more. Luggage service rates begin at around $25 roundtrip for a small bag shipped across the country. That's a savings of around 50 percent.
Where to Find Luggage Shipping Services
Some of the more popular luggage shipping services are Baggage Quest, Luggage Forward, Baggage Free and the Luggage Club. Prices and policies vary widely among these companies and not all operate in every region of the United States.
Imagine an end to baggage fees as well as not having to stand around the baggage carousel at the airport when you arrive at your vacation destination. Maybe it's time you checked into a luggage service for your next vacation.

Member Reviews for 20 Merlot-Cuvee Alexandre-Casa Lapostolle
Add your reviewi bought this wine because it was Wine Spectator's number one wine for 2008, and i have to say i was a great wine, *but* not really my style. it was very well-balanced, smooth drinking with substantial fruit, but felt "over the top". it was a little too bold, too concentrated, and the oak was too much for my taste. perhaps i would love it with another 5 years of age.
Mild wood and berry scent. Mildly tart fruit flavor. Dry with a slight powdery finish.
Fabulous, esp for the price! Interesting, bright fruit nose, followed by a dark, almost malbec-like effect on the palate. I think I would have guessed "Chile" for this, even if I didn't know. A great wine with food. Smooth and delicious.
This bottle makes an excellent decanting study. Knowing that this had a rating of WE 91 and WA 88, I was very surprised on how much I disliked it when I popped and poured. Smelling the cork, I already sensed a huge presence of alcohol. The smell of alcohol overpowered the faint nose of sour cherries. It had a very short lived red currant presence, then huge oak, tannins, heat, and bitterness. I then let it sit, and sipped after 2 hrs, then 5 hrs. I should say that it got better the longer it sat out. After 5 hrs, you get a nose of raisins and red currant. Some black pepper as well. It tastes of unripe black fruit, cedar, spices, smoke, earth. Mild tannins, pretty full bodied for a merlot. Pretty complex - it will take your tastebuds for a ride. The finish is long but a bit on the hot side. Although Snooth has it at $12, I got it at Costco for $16. This is pretty serious and old world for a Chilean wine. Please serve with serious food, and....DECANT!!!
This refers to the 2006. This was ok. It really jumps right out of the bottle onto the pallet. Fully of fruit, medium body. Highish on the alcohol (14.5%)
The wine has a luminous light yellow color that glistens in the glass. There is plenty of tropical fruit, pineapple and peach on the nose with flavors of delightful citrus fruit and white flower and a touch of asparagus. There is some oak but this is not the overwhelming woody California style Chard. It is more French in nature with the fresh flavors that come from the rich terroir of this South American wine. It is full and mouth filling with sensuous acidity and a long finish. I also love the sexy new label.
External Reviews for 20 Merlot-Cuvee Alexandre-Casa Lapostolle
The 2005 Clos Apalta Limited Release is composed of 42% Carmenere, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot. Opaque purple-colored, the nose reveals notes of pain grille, mineral, spice box, and plummy black and blue fruits. This leads to a layered, nearly opulent wine with gobs of savory, spicy black fruits, excellent balance, and superb integration of oak, tannin, and acidity. It will evolve for 4-6 years and be at its best from 2013 to 2025.
Tiefrote Farbe mit violetten Nuancen. Intensives Bouquet von roten Früchten, mit frischen Noten von Rosmarin, weissem Pfeffer und süsslicher Würze. Durch die Eiche bestechen feine Vanillearomen mit einem Hauch von Muskat. Am Gaumen angenehm fruchtige und weiche Tannine, gefolgt von frischer Säure und einem lang anhaltenden Abgang.

Wine Tasting NotesYoung and intense bright purple red. Very clean and intense aromas with delightfully fresh red fruit and black pepper dominating the nose. Well structured and juicy tannins that evolve towards a fresh and mouth-watering natural acidity in the mid palate. The finish is long and shows a light touch of oak. Ideal companion of red meat, pasta with spiced sauces and strong flavoured vegetables.
A nice forward, juicy style, with pear, fig and toast flavors kept honest by ripe acidity. Drink now. 10,000 cases imported.
In der Nase elegant, reichhaltig und komplex. Der Gaumen ist weich und konzentriert mit einer schönen Frische, gefolgt von einem langen, eleganten Finish.

Gwen Stefani and Adam Levine Duet on Soaring, 'Voice'-Ready 'My Heart Is Open'
The Sia-penned, Benny Blanco-produced, Maroon 5 track is already a hit
When Gwen Stefani joined the cast of The Voice we knew that would mean big things. Right? Well, Season 7 hasn't even started yet but we're already getting our first taste of what's to come. Specifically, it comes in the shape of Stefani's sexiest America-hating panel-mate Adam Levine and his VMAs-adjacent band Maroon 5, who team up with the No Doubt singer on new track "My Heart Is Open." And, well, let's just say our ears are open too.
The song was written by Sia with production work by Benny Blanco, and the duetting Voice judges offer up loads of "oh-oh-oh-ohs" and "yeeaahhhh-yeahhhh-yeaaahhhhs," seemingly setting themselves up for some kind of massive sing-along quite possibly beamed into the homes of viewers all over the nation. They better start figuring out how to make that happen.
The rest of Maroon 5's new, mostly Stefani-less album V is out today too. And it's streaming in full on YouTube, in case you don't feel like you should have to pay for it.

New Effort To Settle Galilee, Negev
by Stewart Ain
Staff Writer
Photo Galleria:
Fearing that within the next 20 years Israeli Arabs will outnumber Israeli Jews in the Galilee and the Negev, the board of the United Jewish Communities will be asked to approve a $200 million emergency program over five years to settle 300,000 Jews in both regions in the next decade.
The board is slated to consider the request at its meetings in November in Israel. The $200 million is part of the $1.25 billion the project is expected to cost. Among the other contributors are the government of Israel, the Jewish National Fund, the Federation of Jewish Organizations of Russia, and the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, according to Shai Hermesh, treasurer of the Jewish Agency.
He stressed that the $200 million the Jewish Agency is asking from the UJC over five years is on top of the $140 million to $150 million the UJC currently allocates annually to the Jewish Agency.
"We expect that the UJC will find a way to raise more money for this high priority project," Hermesh said. "If the UJC does not come through with the money, we will be short but we will try to do our best with what we have. We will not be able to delay [the project] because time is very critical."
During a meeting last month in Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told UJC campaign leaders that "without aliyah, Israel cannot exist and without Zionist education there was no potential for olim [immigrants] to come to Israel, and without a Jewish majority Israel cannot exist," Hermesh said.
As an incentive for Jews to move to the Galilee and Negev, the government of Israel last week allocated $45 million to provide a $15,000 grant to those buying homes there, plus a $15,000 low-interest loan. Hermesh said this money is on top of other monetary incentives the government had already provided.
There are 350,000 people now living in the Negev, of which 30 percent are Bedouin and the rest Jews, he pointed out. In the Galilee, Jews comprise only about 60 to 65 percent of the 550,000 residents.
"We are going to settle new rural communities in sensitive areas of the Negev where most of it is settled illegally by Bedouins," Hermesh explained. "We have established that the Bedouin birthrate is four to five times more than the Jewish birthrate in Israel, which is 1 percent. Because the birthrate of the Bedouins and Arabs in the Galilee is much faster than the Jewish, we are quickly losing our majority there."
The demographic implications for Israel are striking. In a 2001 study, Arnon Soffer, chair in geostrategic studies at the Center for National Security Studies at Haifa University, wrote that Israeli Arabs in 2000 totaled 1.3 million or 20 percent of the Israeli population. Should they vote as a bloc, they could elect 21 members of the 120-member Knesset and thereby "tip the balance about the future of the Golan [Heights] or the future of Jerusalem."
"In their hands lies the power to determine the right of return or to decide who is a Jew," he said. "In another few years, they will be able to decide whether Israel should continue to be a Jewish-Zionist state or whether it should 'turn into a state of all its citizens.'"
"In 2020, the Arabs of Israel will constitute, according to the forecast, some 25 percent of the population, and their electoral strength will amount to 30 members of the Knesset," Soffer added. "The proportion of all non-Zionist groups will reach 50 percent of the population of Israel by 2020."
Asher Susser, director of the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Tel Aviv University, said the "Palestinians see time and history on their side. It's working for them and there is precious little Israel can do about it."
In remarks to the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations last January, Susser said "great decisions" must be made in three to five years.
The push for increased Jewish settlement of the Negev and Galilee comes at a time when Tzipi Livni, Israel's minister of immigrant absorption, is decrying the decline in immigration. She noted that only 7,692 immigrants arrived in the first five months of the year, considerably off the pace from the 35,168 immigrants who arrived in 2002 and 44,633 in 2001. Livni told the Associated Press that based on those figures, immigration today is in a "tailspin."
"It's impossible to remain indifferent to whatís going on," she said. "I fully believe that immigration will define the strength of the state of Israel. We have to find out the reasons for whatís happening and focus our resources to bring in more immigrants."
To help encourage Jewish immigration, the board of governors of the Jewish Agency last October adopted a program called, "The New Challenge: A Zionist Majority in the Negev and Galilee." It also selected a board member, Robert Goldberg of Cleveland, to chair a task force to develop the project.
Goldberg, who was later elected chairman of the United Jewish Communities, the umbrella organization for 189 Jewish federations in North America, said this is an issue he has been concerned about for the last three or four years.
"Everybody is running to the center of the country," he said. "The center of the country is crowded and the periphery has quite a lot of land."
The task force's job is to make the Galilee and the Negev attractive for immigrants, Goldberg said. That means providing jobs, excellent schools (including colleges) and cultural activities, he said.
In the process, Goldberg added, life will be made better for both Jews and non-Jews who now live there.
The task force, which is still being assembled and will include representatives from the ministries of infrastructure, aliyah and education, is expected to meet for the first time in November, Goldberg noted.
But he stressed that nothing would be done unless the Jewish Agency's board of governors approves the project and the UJC permits some of the money it sends to Israel to be used for this effort. In addition, he noted that there are 40 Israeli communities that are paired with Jewish communities in the United States as part of the Partnership 2000 project. Almost all of the Israeli communities are located in the Negev and the Galilee and Goldberg said he would hope their American partners "would want to do special projects in the region that would strengthen the area" to make it attractive for immigrants.

2 + 2 = Israel Nuked the WTC on 9/11 | |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 47217360 Australia 09/22/2013 10:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | President John F. Kennedy was deeply concerned about Israel using the Dimona nuclear plant to produce nuclear weapons. Kennedy wrote a letter concerning Dimona to Prime Minister Levi Eshkol on July 4th, 1963: Dear Mr. Prime Minister: It gives me great personal pleasure to extend congratulations as you assume your responsibilities as Prime Minister of Israel. You have our friendship and best wishes in your new tasks. It is on one of these that I am writing you at this time. You are aware, I am sure, of the exchanges which I had with Prime Minister Ben-Gurion concerning American visits to Israel's nuclear facility at Dimona. Most recently, the Prime Minister wrote to me on May 27. His words reflected a most intense personal consideration of a problem that I know is not easy for your Government, as it is not for mine. We welcomed the former Prime Minister's strong reaffirmation that Dimona will be devoted exclusively to peaceful purposes and the reaffirmation also of Israel's willingness to permit periodic visits to Dimona. I regret having to add to your burdens so soon after your assumption of office, but I feel the crucial importance of this problem necessitates my taking up with you at this early date certain further considerations, arising out of Mr. Ben-Gurion's May 27 letter, as to the nature and scheduling of such visits. I am sure you will agree that these visits should be as nearly as possible in accord with international standards, thereby resolving all doubts as to the peaceful intent of the Dimona project. [3-1/2 lines of source text not declassified] Therefore, I asked our scientists to review the alternative schedules of visits we and you had proposed. If Israel's purposes are to be clear beyond reasonable doubt, I believe that the schedule which would best serve our common purposes would be a visit early this summer, another visit in June 1964, and thereafter at intervals of six months. I am sure that such a schedule should not cause you any more difficulty than that which Mr. Ben-Gurion proposed in his May 27 letter. It would be essential, and I understand that Mr. Ben-Gurion's letter was in accord with this, that our scientists have access to all areas of the Dimona site and to any related part of the complex, such as fuel fabrication facilities or plutonium separation plant, and that sufficient time be allotted for a thorough examination. Knowing that you fully appreciate the truly vital significance of this matter to the future well-being of Israel, to the United States, and internationally, I am sure our carefully considered request will have your most sympathetic attention. Sincerely, John F. Kennedy US inspectors DID go to Dimona however they were not allowed to tour the entire facility: Under pressure from the newly elected American president, Israel reluctantly agreed in 1961 to U.S.-Israeli bilateral inspections of the Dimona nuclear facility. The inspections at Dimona were tightly controlled by the Israelis, and restricted to the first floor of the facility. U.S. inspectors were not allowed to bring their own technical instruments, take measurements, or see the control room, instead being shown a mock-up. It was later learned that the Israelis went so far as to wall-up elevator banks down to the underground reprocessing facility in order to evade discovery. When inspections ended in 1969, the visits had never produced any evidence of weapons-related activity or a plutonium-reprocessing facility, but inspectors often were left highly suspicious of illicit activities. |

Would this be considered as an act of war against America? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 47217360 I know that when Israel attacked the USS Liberty it wasn't. Jews can murder Americans all they want. It would be antisemitic for us to do anything about it. |

NY Lt. Gov. Ravitch: Stimulus Funds Driving States Over a Cliff

An article in today's Wall Street Journal tells a grim tale of the unintended consequences of federal stimulus funds.
According to Richard Ravitch, the Democratic Lieutenant Governor of New York, the federal dollars were a double edged sword:
"The federal stimulus has provided significant budget relief to the states, but this relief is temporary and makes it harder for states to cut expenditures. In major areas such as transportation, education, and health care, stimulus funds come with strings attached....Because of these requirements, states, instead of cutting spending in transportation, education, and health care, have been forced to keep most of their expenditures at previous levels and use federal funds only as supplements."
The consequences for better, faster, cheaper government are significant. Instead of tackling the tough choices now and embarking on a variety of cost-saving innovations now, states had to maintain their unsustainable rate of spending.
As Ravitch notes, federal dollars didn't just delay these needed changes, they actually made things worse.
"The net result is this: The federal stimulus has led states to increase overall spending in these core areas, which in effect has only raised the height of the cliff from which state spending will fall if stimulus funds evaporate."
Many of the reforms that states need to consider are politically difficult. Change is hard. The pain of economic hardship is often the only spur that can prompt these needed changes. But the federal stimulus dollars dulled the painful signal of economic reality to the body politic, and as a result the patient continued its unhealthy lifestyle. In the end, the result is only greater pain. As Lt. Governor Ravitch notes, the future is not bright.
"New York and other states face draconian cuts in public services, higher taxes, or, more likely, a combination of both," writes Ravitch.
States that don't change direction now soon find themselves heading off a cliff--helped there by well-meaning but ultimately detrimental federal policies that mandate spending for which there is no revenue.
