Table of Contents
This is the second page of your report. The table of contents should contain a list of everything in the report that follows this page, including a page number for the beginning of each section, as shown in Figure 9.2.
This section sets the stage for your project report. It is a statement of your purpose, along with some of the background information that led you to make this study and what you hoped to achieve from it. It should contain a brief statement of your hypothesis based on your research; that is, it should state what information or knowledge led you to your hypothesis. If your teacher requires footnotes, then include one for each information source you have used. The sample introduction shown in Figure 9.3 does not use footnotes.
This part of the report contains information about the project experiment. Describe in detail all methods used to collect your data or make your observations. It should include the project problem followed by a list of the materials used and the amount of each, then the procedural steps in outline or paragraph form as shown in Figure 9.4. The experiment described in Figure 9.4 includes instructions for counting the moths. Other things you should include, if they apply, are photographs and instructions for making self-designed equipment. All instructions should be written so that they could be followed by anyone to get the same results.
The discussion of your experimental results is a principal part of your project report. It describes the outcome of your efforts. Include experimental data tables and graphs to confirm results. (See Step 8 for information on collecting and organizing your data.) Include qualitative as well as quantitative results. Never change or omit results because they don't support your hypothesis. Be thorough. You want your readers to see your train of thought so that they know exactly what you did. Compare your results with published data and commonly held beliefs, as well as with your expected results. Include a discussion of possible errors. Were your results affected by uncontrolled events? What would you do differently if you repeated this project?
Project Conclusion
The project conclusion is a summary of the results of the project experiment and a statement of how the results relate to the hypothesis. In one page or less, it tells what you discovered based on your analysis of the data. A sample conclusion is shown in Figure 9.5. The conclusion states the hypothesis and indicates whether the data supports it.
If your results are not what you expected, don't panic. Assuming that your research led you to your hypothesis, state that while your research backed up your hypothesis, your experimental results did not. Refer to any published data on which you based your hypothesis. Say what you expected and what actually happened. Give reasons why you think the results did not support your original ideas. Include errors you might have made as well as how uncontrolled variables might have affected the results. Discuss changes you would make to the procedure if you repeated the project, and include ideas for experiments to further investigate the topic of your project. All information in the conclusion should have been reported in other parts of the report; no new material should be introduced in the conclusion.
The acknowledgments section is a short paragraph or two stating the names of people who helped you, with a brief description of their contributions to your project, as shown in Figure 9.6. It should not be just a list of names. Note that when acknowledging relatives, it is generally not necessary to include their names, just their relationship to you; for example, mother, father, sister, and so on. Identify individuals with their titles, positions, and affiliations (institutions), and list anyone who gave financial support or material donations. Do not include the monetary amounts of donations.
Your reference list is a bibliography of all the sources where you obtained information.

Apartment Markets Resume Growth According To NMHC Survey
WASHINGTON, April 18, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Apartment markets improved across all areas according to the National Multi Housing Council's (NMHC) April Quarterly Survey of Apartment Market Conditions. All four indexes -- Market Tightness (54), Sales Volume (55), Equity Financing (56) and Debt Financing (59) -- came in above 50, which indicates improving conditions. This reverses last January's findings, where Market Tightness and Sales Volume dipped below 50 for the first time since 2010.
"The apartment industry is operating on cruise control, as the expansion continues unabated," said Mark Obrinsky, NMHC's Vice President for Research and Chief Economist. "While concern about overbuilding has begun to crop up, demand for apartment residences remains strong. New construction may have finally recovered fully, but most units under construction won't be delivered until 2014 or later. The dearth of recent completions has contributed to relatively low product availability. As deliveries increase, we expect to see an even greater pick-up in sales volume."
Key findings include:
Financing remains constrained. One in ten reported construction financing as available for all types of apartments in all markets. In addition, only one quarter thought acquisition financing was available for all properties in all markets.
Market Tightness Index rose to 54 from 45. The index has been above 50 for 12 of the past 13 quarters, with only January 2013 indicating contraction. One quarter of respondents saw markets as tighter, up from 16 percent last quarter. The Sales Volume Index increased to 55 from 49. Like the Market Tightness Index, the pickup in the Sales Volume Index showed improving conditions again this quarter. Almost one-third (30 percent) reported sales volume was higher while only 20 percent indicated that sales volume was lower. The Equity Financing Index remained at 56, unchanged from the previous two quarters. This reflects the 15 th quarter in a row with the index above 50. This is the seventh quarter in a row in which the most common response was that equity finance conditions were unchanged from three months ago. Debt Financing Index increased by two points to 59. One quarter of respondents viewed now as a better time to borrow compared with three months ago, while six percent viewed now as a worse time. This was the ninth consecutive quarter in which the share of respondents who thought debt financing had worsened was in single digits. Full survey data are available at www.nmhc.org/goto/61161. About the survey: The April 2013 Quarterly Survey of Apartment Market Conditions was conducted April 8-15, with 85 CEOs and other senior executives of apartment-related firms nationwide responding. To view this release online, visit www.nmhc.org/goto/61163. Based in Washington, D.C., NMHC is a national association representing the interests of the larger and most prominent apartment firms in the U.S. NMHC's members are the principal officers of firms engaged in all aspects of the apartment industry, including owners, developers, managers and financiers. One-third of Americans rent their housing, and over 14 percent live in a rental apartment.

In a new act of defiance over their nation's nuclear ambitions, Iranian delegates failed to show up Thursday for a promised meeting with the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna. The session was called so that the Iranians could explain plans for the resumption of uranium enrichment. A day earlier, the Iranians failed to meet a request by IAEA chief Mohamad ElBaradei to provide the clarification, and, in a speech, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad insisted his government would "defend the right to nuclear research and technology" and would not be deterred by warnings from Western nations.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas joined other world leaders in expressing concern over the physical condition of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Spokesmen for radical groups, however, called the situation "a gift from God" and in refugee camps Palestinian youths passed out candy and flowers in open delight. A senior Hamas leader said he saw no reason for the matter to cause the postponement of the Jan. 25 Palestinian parliamentary election. But the Palestinian Election Commission resigned en masse because of an internal dispute, although it later said it would reconsider.
A ship carrying the final 2,150 Indonesian police deployed in Aceh Province pulled out of port Thursday, fulfilling the terms of the Indonesian government's peace accord with separatist rebels there. The accord, however, allows thousands of other security forces to remain in the volatile province, and before the rebels can participate in local elections this spring a new law must be passed by parliament in Jakarta. Aceh has been mired in a 29-year civil war, but peace efforts finally succeeded in the wake of the devastating 2004 tsunami, which killed 156,000 people and left a half-million others homeless.

Perfect cake for my Oscar Party (voting for Philomena to win Best Movie). I used 8 oz. O'Doul's non-alchoholic malt beverage and 4 oz. of fresh orange juice. I also soaked the raisins in some of the liquid for over an hour) and per the review below, I added 1/4 tsp Ginger & 1/4 tsp Cinnamon to the spices. Could not find "peel" so I used 3 oz. of Orange Marmalade - YUM! Enjoy with Tea, Coffee, or a little wine.
Brought me back to my childhood when my Mom and Grandmother would make this cake. They would soak the raisins in the guiness for a couple of hours in advance - which I did - and I think it added to the most texture. I made it in a 9inch tin and it cooked way way faster - done in around an hour. I also upped hte spices a little added some extra ginger
Excellent addition to my St. Patty's Day Menu. I did make a wiskey butter sauce to put on it and instead of using pumpkin pie spices added my own pumpkin pie spice mixture.

Its a different game mode. You can't say that field hockey is softcore hockey.
why compare apples to oranges???
Your pictures are obnoxious and almost all Bleach. Or is it "they're obnoxious BECAUSE they are almost all Bleach." Yeah, that. Dominion is the hardcore Dominion. SR is the hardcore SR. TT is the softcore SR =P
Complete unnecessary pictures are unnecessary Stupid pictures are stupid Blah blah is blah
You're missing the point. There is no number 7. But the improper link editing does come off obnoxious. I can't find how to link a word on these forums :/ It would look so pretty otherwise.
Dominion is faster and it is easier to recover from setbacks, meaning that it is harder for individual players to drag down their team and harder to sit on a early game lead. Deciding to push/farm creeps or not is more of a choice. Dominion requires map awareness, but there is less management and more prediction. I wouldn't call it softcore.
It's different. Maybe not your cup of tea. But it is for many others. The main problem is most people have not given it a chance. They've played 20 games of it, maybe, and look at it as mindless killing, when there is actually a lot of underlying strategy to it. Also, here's a picture of a duck, because ITT, we link in random images: http://images.nationalgeographic.com...19_600x450.jpg
Here is a picture of a unicorn. I did not look at your pictures.
Not only is the majority of the first post unreadable because of the hyperlinks, the parts that actually are legible are either completely incorrect or utterly pointless. Well done, OP. Just keep beating that dead horse with the rest of the GD trolls.

Republicans judge not
Harris County's Republican precinct chairmen tonight essentially decided to stay out of the dispute over the 2006 e-mails that led party chairman Jared Woodfill to call recently for Republican misdemeanor court judge Larry Standley to resign. The precinct leaders voted to shelve a so-called unity resolution proposed by Mona Lisa Chambers of Houston, vice chairwoman […]

Say I started a > huge command on one tty and the connection broke...., the command is > now waiting on input from me, but I can't give it because I'm not > connected to this process/tty, whatever. I highly recommend GNU screen <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/>. It's a terminal multiplexer and it's tailor-made for situations like this. You start a screen session and run huge_command in the session. Now huge_command is attached to a tty inside the session. You can detach from the session and log out. The session is still there and huge_command is still running. Later you log back in and reattach to the screen session. You're looking at the output of huge_command again. The commands running inside the session don't even know you went away. You can also start multiple commands inside a session and switch between their ttys. While huge_command is running you can start another shell in the session and carry on working. Any time you like you can switch back and see how far huge_command has progressed. If you detach from the session both huge_command and your other shell carry on as if nothing has happened. If I have to do remote work on a terminal the first thing I do is set up screen. Top tip: if you're an emacs junkie you will almost certainly want to rebind the screen escape key to something other than the default Ctrl-A. I use Ctrl-\. (This all assumes you're connecting to a Unix box, of course.) Regards, Jeremy Henty

Former UFC heavyweight titleholder Andrei Arlovski wants to someday return to the Ultimate Fighting Championship and vie for the heavyweight title again. read news >>
PORTLAND, Ore. - Don't get him wrong: Strikeforce fighter Ryan Couture realizes he's got a long way to go before he's in the conversation for a lightweight title shot.

Now, Pakistan must finalize the "proper mechanism" for engaging the militants into negotiations.
Pakistan's military has deployed around 150,000 troops in the semi-autonomous tribal belt along Afghan border and is engaged in fighting with Al Qaeda and Pakistani Taliban militants, known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
This military activity has carried a heavy political cost, analysts say, as Pakistani Taliban militants have carried out a series of deadly suicide attacks against sensitive military installations, including its headquarters and against the Mehran naval base near Karachi, in a wave of violence that has claimed thousands of lives.
"When America is adopting the policy of reconciliation with Afghan Taliban in Afghanistan, why can't we go for dialogue with militant groups in Pakistan?" said Haider Abbas Rizvi, a key legislator of the powerful Karachi-based Muttahida Quami Movment (MQM), after attending the Islamabad conference.
The negotiations will be held only with those militants who recognize Pakistan's constitution, Mr. Rizvi said, and not with foreign militants. Pakistan's soil will not be allowed to use for any kind of terrorism, he added.
"Military operations are not the solution," said Imran Khan, a former cricket star-turned-politician, known for his strong anti-US views. "It didn't work for America in Afghanistan, and it won't be effective even today. Time has come to talk peace so let's give peace a chance."

By Cameron Miller For The Essex ReporterFriday night was senior night for both the Essex High School boys' and girls' volleyball teams. The boys took on Enosburg Falls while the girls were up against Mid Vermont Christian Academy. The successful volleyball program in Essex showcased their talent as the boys and girls won their matches in three sets.
Boys' Volleyball
The boys' volleyball team dominated Enosburg Falls as they their team chemistry was on full display. During the first set the Hornets took the 7-3 lead when junior Spencer Sochin blocked an Enosburg spike and sophomore Ian Audette answered with a spike of his own. Sochin and Audette would connect again for the set point when Sochin set up Audette for the spike that gave the Hornets the 25-11 win.
The Hornets did not let up after the first set as they began the second set with a 6-0 lead that they would not let slip away. Enosburg looked as they were building a comeback but junior Scot Lyon had a different idea as he made a great dig that lead to a powerful spike by sophomore Caleb Root. The Hornets won the second set 25-13.
"We were able to stay focused throughout the entire match," said head coach Karen Chesser in a phone interview Monday morning.
In the third set the Hornets, once again, jumped out to a massive lead. They led Enosburg 14-2. Head coach Karen Chesser and her Hornets never let off the gas pedal as they would take the third set 25-10.
The Hornets controlled play throughout all three sets which left Chesser pleased with the level at which her team is playing.
"I think we played above out level," Chesser said. "I feel like we are playing at a very high level."
Girls' Volleyball
The girls' volleyball team had a three game sweep of their own however their path to get there was different. The Hornets struggled to get a lead over Mid Vermont as they found themselves battling from behind throughout the first set. The momentum of the first set shifted in the Hornets favor when junior Taylor Truax served to consecutive aces to tie the set at 11. The Hornets would take the first set 25-18.
The Hornets put themselves in a hole to start the second set as they found themselves trailing 7-1. A displeased head coach Karen Chesser called a timeout to slow things down and get her team back into the set. The Hornets came out of the timeout and scored three straight points to tighten the score to 7-4. The Honets finally took the lead,18-17, in the second set with a great spike by junior Emily Goodrich. This set was a constant back and forth battle, however the Hornets did come out on top with the 25-20 win.
The Hornets falling behind has in sets has been something Chesser has been working on with her players.
"We have been working on it quite often," Chesser said. "Our ability to come back has improved 110 percent since the beginning of the season."
The third set brought a better start for the Hornets as they jumped out to the 11-5 lead. Much like the two previous sets, Mid Vermont would not let the game get out of their reach as they got the score to 18-15. The Hornets' resiliency would prove to be too much for Mid Vermont as they would take the third set by a score of 25-17.
Chesser credits the three set win by the Hornets to their ability to play through adversity.
"We limited the unforced errors," Chesser said. "We have gotten a lot better at staying focused."

Crochet Clutch Purse
By: Bernat
Make your own clutch purse to match your favorite outfit with this free crochet pattern from Bernat Yarns. This purse is quick and easy to crochet and the classic design is always in style.
Important to Know Before Felting:
Record all the measurements and changes before and after felting. You will be able to adjust the method to produce proper results.
Always test a sample. Different colored yarns may felt differently.
Colorfastness can be affected by very hot water.
Any knit fabric that has been properly felted becomes very dense and matted.
How to Felt:
- Using low water level, run a Hot/Cold cycle for 5 to 15 min. Add a pair of old jeans for agitation.
- Add 2 tablespoons of baking soda for a small load. After one cycle, check for size. Repeat if necessary.
- Run through the rinse and dry spin cycle.
- Do not use a clothes dryer.
- Lay felted piece onto a dry towel, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Shape piece to correct measurements.
- If an edge ripples, baste a thread through the edge and gather in. Remove the thread after the felting is dry.
Approx 10" [25.5 cm] wide x 6" [15 cm] high after felting.
- Bernat Felting Wool (75 g / 2.6 oz) or felting wool of your choice.
- 3 balls of #94420 (English Rose).
- Size 6.5 mm (U.S. K or 10 1/2) crochet hook or size needed to obtain gauge.
- Large button or brooch.
10 sc and 12 rows = 4" [10 cm].
Ch 63.
1st row: (RS). 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook. 1 sc in each ch to end of ch. Turn. 62 sc.
2nd row: Ch 1. 1 sc in each sc to end of row. Turn.
Rep last row for 10 1/2" [26.5 cm]. Fasten off.
Felt pieces following "How to Felt" instructions. Shape piece to measure approx 12" [30.5 cm] by 20" [51 cm] and let dry. Cut piece as shown in diagram.
Sew side seams. Fold flap along top fold line and attach button or brooch as shown in picture.

GCC Rulers Have Learned A Lesson From Kuwait's Parliamentary Move; Lebanon Is Next.
*** Japan, The Only Nation To Have Suffered A Nuke Attack, Now Is In A Singular Position Over Iran, Which Is Supplying 16% Of Its Oil & Inpex Has 75% Right To Develop Azadegan Which Is Said To Have 26 Bn Bls; Koizumi: 'It Is Important That Iran Make A Sincere Response Over Its Suspect Nuclear Dev.'; Tokyo Says Iran Must Back Down; Egypt & Saudis Push For WMD- Free GME, Even As The US Does Not Want Israel To Be Exposed On Account Of The Crisis Over Iran*** Bush's Promise To Cut US Thirst For GME Oil 75% By 2025 Means The Tar Sands & Bitumen In America Are A Serious Threat To Conventional Oil
KUWAIT - The way the Kuwaiti throne passed from the emirate's 13th ruler, through the 14th, to the 15th in a period of nine days to Jan. 24 has provided monarchies in the six-state Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) region with a big lesson: that a freely elected parliament with a well-studied constitution can act as a wise mediator and, above all, as guarantor of the country's stability. Kuwait's democratic experience, still lacking in perfection but the most advanced system of government in the GCC, can easily spread across the region with positive implications for the rest of the Greater Middle East (GME).
The Gulf region, by far the biggest reservoir of energy in the world, had just come out with two such developments. A parliament and government with a four-year term in Iraq were elected freely on Dec. 15. That was the first such experience in Iraq's history; but the constitution adopted by the Iraqis on Oct. 15 needs to be carefully amended. Otherwise there could be a sectarian war in Iraq, with dire implications for Iran (see news5-IraqGovt-Jan30-06)
In December UAE President and Abu Dhabi ruler Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahyan promised that half its consultative council will be freely elected - this being the first step towards a democracy. On Jan. 4, Dubai ruler Shaikh Maktoum bin Rashed al-Maktoum died of a heart attack in Australia and was flown back. He was immediately succeeded by the crown prince and strongman of Dubai, his younger brother Shaikh Muhammad. On Jan. 5, Shaikh Muhammad became vice president and prime minister of the UAE - as Shaikh Maktoum was laid to rest (see fap1-UAE-4-DubaiDemoJan16-06).
In Oman Sultan Qaboos recently resolved the problem over succession to the throne as he outlined this in a letter deposited with one of his aides. Oman is accelerating efforts to diversify its economy as its oil production is in decline (see survey of Oman in last week's APS Review - in omt5OmanProspJan30-06 & down5OmanEnBasJan30-06).
Kuwait's freely elected National Assembly has long been seen in GCC ruling family circles as an inconvenient anomaly. That it has often proved a forum for fruitless confrontation has been useful for the region's dynastic autocrats when resisting pressure for change.
Yet the Jan. 15-24 events, in which the Assembly played a central role in mediating and then ending a nine-day leadership crisis by ousting Kuwait's ailing 14th emir, have dramatically changed the equation, strengthening the hand of reformers across the GCC. They have restored Kuwait's historic position as a standard-bearer for Arabs demanding greater say in government.
On Jan. 25, the repercussions were being felt from Saudi Arabia, Oman and Qatar to the UAE and Bahrain. All these states have been wrestling, under varying degrees of domestic and US pressure, with the notion of elected assemblies. The Lebanese are trying to revive the oldest democracy in the GME, seeking true freedom from Syria's Ba'thist dictatorship.
The overwhelming win of Hamas, the Islamist group, in the Jan. 25 Palestinian parliamentary elections came as a shock to US promoters of GME democratisation. The event stunned the world and came on the heels of a "shocking" victory of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt's recent parliamentary elections. The MB, by far the biggest and most disciplined among groups opposed to Mubarak's regime, has become a serious threat to the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP).
In his 2005 State of the Union address, President George W. Bush committed the US to "stand with the allies of freedom to support democratic movements in the Middle East and beyond, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world". He pointedly told America's Arab friends in Egypt and Saudi Arabia he was making a "generational commitment" to democracy, analogous to the cold war, and that they should shape up. But, as the Financial Times on Jan. 31 put it, "in the year since America's liberty bell pealed through Arab lands, it has mostly been Islamic revivalists rather than Abu Jeffersons who have won such elections as there have been".
The cleanest and the clearest was the Palestinian contest which "disgorged Hamas", formerly known as the local chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood, with a thumping majority. Bush had to dwell on the subject in his State of the Union speech on Jan. 31, but US policy nonetheless faces a real dilemma. It cannot duck it.
In the post-9/11 era, there is no empathy in Washington for any form of terrorism. Even if there were, Hamas, which has carried out about 60 suicide-bombings against Israel, to whose destruction its founding charter is committed, would not be head of the queue. Yet the US should not retreat from its strategic insight: that it is not democracy which creates extremism, but tyranny and the pervasive sense of injustice caused by running sores such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
A shift back to supporting Arab dictatorships and Israeli intransigence is no answer. Nor should Washington and its Western and Arab allies "exaggerate the extent to which Palestinians were voting for rejectionism", the FT added, "so much as punishing the corruption and incompetence of Fatah". All calculations should start from the fact that between two-thirds and three-quarters of Palestinians have regularly backed a two-state solution. That said, Hamas militants are generally not to be found among them - and they are about to form a government. The response to them should emphasise that democracy is not just about voting, but about seeking institutional responses and upholding the rule of law. The FT stressed: "If they [Hamas] are pragmatic, so should we be".
"It may be easier for the Europeans than the Americans to take the lead on this, as they have done on Iran. Short-term, Hamas must extend its truce. It must...formally forswear attacks on civilians. It is not essential it recognises Israel: the Irish constitution did not recognise British jurisdiction over Northern Ireland for 60 years. What is essential is that Hamas behaves as a responsible government. By the same token, the US and close allies such as the UK should stop deferring to the unilateralism whereby Israel is setting new borders to an enlarged state. That voided Fatah's last plausible claim to power: its own ability to negotiate a solution to the occupation". The FT concluded: "Hamas too faces a dilemma: whether to govern or to fight. Let's not make it easy for them".
Bush's promotion of democracy forms the core of US foreign policy. Having assisted Hamas (listed as a terrorist group by the US) to power through elections, which Washington insisted should take place, the Bush administration is in a dilemma in the "war on terror". Does it cut off institutional aid to the Palestinians and thus choke the democratic evolution? And, more broadly, does the US scale back its regional ambitions following the surge of Islamists not just among Palestinians, but also in other parts of the Middle East?
Some in the administration had anticipated a Hamas victory; others were shocked by the outcome. Hardly in a position to denounce the outcome of a vote widely deemed to have been fair, Bush called the elections a healthy process and spoke of the "power of democracy". He said the results had shaken up the "old guard", expressing the dominant view within the administration that the status quo among Palestinians, and more widely in the GME, was unsustainable.
The Hamas win gives an extreme test case for the concept of transformation to moderation through elections - a dream which "realists", many of whom served under the president's father, dismiss as "utopian". Hamas will head a government without a state, with no fixed borders and much of its territory under occupation. Reuel Gerecht, a neo-conservative Middle East specialist at the right-wing American Enterprise Institute, says there will not be a reversion to the "realist" status quo policies which prevailed before 9/11. Gerecht says: "Now there is a system with a possibility of evolution. The status quo empowered Hamas. Now there will be a profound debate in the Palestinian territories. This is good".
The powerful pro-Israel lobby was even more dismayed by Bush's insistence, against the wishes of Israel, that Hamas compete in the elections. And presidential hopefuls among the Democrats, including Senators Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, were quick to voice their fears at the outcome. Robert Satloff, head of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, summed up those feelings last week, attacking the administration for "having such a messianic commitment to the power of elections to transform people that we were blind to the possibility that evil people can exploit democracy for evil ends".
The US has signalled it will not cut off aid to the Palestinians. But it would not fund a government led by Hamas unless it renounces violence and accepts a two-state solution.
The GCC Experience: None of the five other GCC states has gone as far as Kuwait did in the 1960s by giving elected MPs power over decision-making. Most of them have avoided introducing any real government accountability.
Abdul Rahman al-No'aimi, an Islamist university professor and rare dissident voice in Qatar, says of the Kuwaiti Assembly's Jan. 15-24 role: "I hope this will be a lesson for other GCC states that they put more trust in their people. If this crisis had remained solely in the hands of the ruling family it would have gone on for much longer".
When Kuwait's long-term Emir, Shaikh Jaber al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah, died on Jan. 15 before addressing the succession issue, rival members of the ruling al-Sabah clan struggled to reach a consensus. Shaikh Jaber was the 13th emir. As he died, Crown Prince Shaikh Sa'd al-Abdullah al-Salem al-Sabah automatically became the 14th emir. But Shaikh Sa'd had long been ill and, since 2003, had ceased functioning as a prime minister as this position was taken up by Shaikh Jaber al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah, the 13th emir's half-brother.
There was a deadlock as Shaikh Sa'd was not able to take the oath as the 14th emir. And there was no crown prince. It fell on the National Assembly to decide the next move by voting on the issue in accordance with Article 3 of the emirate's constitution.
After a dynastic struggle ended bloodily in 1896, the rival al-Jaber and al-Salem branches of the al-Sabah family have alternated in power. That tradition was ostensibly to be undermined if, as expected, Shaikh Sabah, from the al-Jaber, took a throne which Shaikh Sa'd of the al-Salem barely had the chance to occupy. Shaikh Salem al-Ali al-Sabah, the powerful head of the National Guard and leader of the al-Salem branch, had initially sought to prevent this outcome.
Though this jostle for power may not be over, for now it is the muscle of Kuwait's institutions - in particular its assembly - which have won the day. Under Kuwaiti constitution and a 1964 law, parliament must vote by a two-third majority to announce the emir's seat vacant and pave the way for the appointment of a new emir. The ruling family arrived at the decision after a majority voting in the morning of Jan. 20 to overcome the constitutional problem created by the nomination of Shaikh Sa'd as the emir. The nomination was constitutional.
However, around 20 members of the ruling family did not approve Shaikh Sabah's nomination, but the decision was approved by the majority. Family members who attended the Jan. 20 meeting represented all the various branches of the ruling clan, including senior members from the al-Salem branch of Shaikh Sa'd. To resolve the problem over the next two top positions of state, the family voted that Shaikh Muhammad al-Sabah al-Salem al-Sabah, currently the Kuwaiti foreign minister, will be nominated as crown prince. Shaikh Nawaf al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah, the interior minister will be promoted to prime minister.
Reformers in the GCC region can argue that, in accordance with the constitution, elected MPs had played the role of ultimate guarantors of stability, not the ruling family. The implications for Saudi Arabia, which remains the only country in the region to be ruled without a constitution, were particularly acute.
King Fahd until his death on Aug. 1 remained monarch despite being incapacitated. In the process, the then Crown Prince Abdullah's margin to implement change was substantially reduced. Bassim Alim, a lawyer in Jeddah whose belief in constitutional rule has got him into trouble in the past, says of the Saudi situation after King Fahd's sudden death: "Everything was put on hold [for ten years since Fahd had a stroke in 1995] because they were afraid of internal struggle. If we had had a proper constitution and a proper parliament we would not have needed all this delay. What happened in Kuwait has created a new atmosphere. There is a new awareness that will not easily be given up".
Ironically, Kuwait's experience over the past decade has given parliaments in the GCC region a bad name. Bad blood between the National Assembly and the al-Sabah-dominated government has paralysed attempts to pursue economic liberalisation. This has partly been the result of tensions between traditionalists and Islamists and more economically liberal, Western-allied regimes, some of which, such as Dubai, have driven through economic change without reference to public opinion. One senior ruling family member said Kuwait had been at the forefront of royal minds when the UAE developed its own nomination procedures for a consultative assembly last year.

India and Singapore to boost cooperation in face of radicalisation threat posed by Iraq, Syria
Published on Aug 19, 2014 11:29 PM
NEW DELHI - India and Singapore are looking at stepping up intelligence cooperation and sharing of information to combat the growing threat of transnational terrorism, Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen has said.
Echoing a growing concern among security officials worldwide, Dr Ng, who is in India for a three-day official visit, noted that the conflicts in Iraq and Syria were helping to spawn a new "multi-national force'" of militants from Asia, Europe and beyond.
As such, the sharing of information among countries was "crucial" to countering the threat.
He added: "The more we know, the safer we can be and better prepared we are. And no single country or agency can know everything. We have to come together and share information."
