Experts on the Soviet Union used to examine everything except its economy. They
were subsequently surprised when economic dysfunction caused the empire's
demise. Similarly, today, economic factors are largely ignored in current
analyses of developments in Iran, the Arab Spring and the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Disregarding economic history and dynamics leads to a misapprehension of the
region's challenges, and how best to cope with them.Few ask why Iran's
mullahs are spending so much of their oil income, which they desperately need to
feed an impoverished population, on their nuclear project; why are they inviting
painful sanctions and risking a military assault? The answers might provide a
clue to Iran's strategy.The mullahs are spending a fortune and taking
high risks with their atomic project, primarily because a Shi'ite Iran seeks
world domination."The Iranian revolution is not exclusively that of
Iran," Ayatollah Khomeini averred, "because Islam does not belong to any
particular people. We will export our revolution throughout the world, because
it is an Islamic revolution."Besides constantly spreading its revolution
through terror and other means, Iran must feed nearly 60 million people who
cannot survive without welfare and subsidies. On assuming power Ayatollah
Khomeini slapped price controls on agricultural products to reward his
lower-class supporters, the Bazareens. He destroyed Iran's once-prosperous
agricultural sector.Millions of farmers migrated to shanty towns around
major cities. Welfare was allocated based on family size, so the birthrate
skyrocketed, doubling Iran's population to over 80 million.Because it is
sustained by income from oil, the regime's survival depends on high oil prices.
Iran has been investing $200 million a year in Hezbollah and Hamas not to kill a
few dozen Jews, but to ensure that when the price of oil slumps, threats of war
can drive it up again.The mullahs are also seeking nuclear weapons as a
deterrent, to secure Iran's ability to control the price of
oil.Possessing the bomb, Iran could block the Straits of Hormuz, cutting
off oil shipments from the Gulf – the source of the lion's share of world
consumption – until it receives a "transit fee" on every barrel passing through
what it considers its territorial waters. This would eventually transfer so much
European wealth to Iran that in a few years Iran could dominate Europe without
firing a shot.If anyone challenged Iran's blockade, it could launch a
terror campaign involving chemical or biological weapons or dirty bombs. It
could also threaten to incinerate the Saudi and Iraqi oil fields, bringing the
world's economy to a halt.Iran would most likely ratchet up its toll
gradually, by, say, a mere $5 per barrel. Would Europe or the US go to war with
a nuclear Iran over an incremental $5 rise in the toll? Once it controlled the
flow of oil, Iran could depose the Saudi regime, the hated guardian of Sunni
Islam. It could engineer coups by Shi'ites who are a majority in Saudi's
oil-producing provinces, and capture Mecca and Medina.After unifying
Islam under the Shi'a banner, a nuclear Iran could dictate terms to an impotent
West.It could eradicate the Little Satan – an isolated, emasculated
Israel – with little risk. It could also proceed with its jihadist mission to
establish Shari'a rule worldwide.If Iran is not stopped now, it may be
impossible to stop it later. By effectively cutting Iran's oil exports and
bankrupting the regime it may not be necessary to attack its nuclear
facilities.As for the Arab Spring: little attention has been paid to how
Egypt's Islamic heritage and its socialist past and statist present have shaped
the current crisis.Neither the rage that united the young, who defied
Mubarak's dictatorship in Tahrir Square, nor the Islamic Brotherhood's takeover
of the government in defiance of the generals, nor how the Arab spring may
unfold can be correctly assessed without understanding Egypt's economic history
and dynamics and how they interacted with religious, cultural and political
factors.In order to keep their impoverished citizens pacified, Arab
rulers – including the young officers who deposed King Farouk of Egypt in 1952,
copied post-WWII welfare regimes. They nationalized their economies and
strangled them with huge autocratic bureaucracies that totally subjected the
economy to politics, breeding inefficiency, waste, cronyism and
corruption.Arab as well as African states, most notably Egypt, that
under colonial rule was relatively prosperous, have become destitute because the
socialist and statist systems they adopted created dysfunctional economies and
governments that were eventually overthrown by military juntas.By
enabling the poor to have larger families, welfare also created a demographic
bubble that led to massive unemployment. The many children who did not reach
productive maturity drained scarce family resources.Unemployable
youngsters roamed the streets, ready to riot, increasing insecurity and
discontent.SINCE MUBARAK'S presidency, Egypt's population has doubled.
About 40 percent of Egyptians are dirt-poor fellahin, farmers (in the West, only
3.5% of people work in agriculture). Tradition encouraged them to sire many
children to secure free labor and old-age support.Consequently, about
50% of the population is under the age of 25, compared with 32% in Germany and
37% in France. Officially, unemployment in Muslim states is close to 10%, but it
is probably much higher among youth.Even during the past decade, when
Egypt's economy improved and fertility dropped, massive unemployment and
make-work projects hindered economic development.Income from oil, or
vast amounts of foreign aid (which were funneled through corrupt elites that
squandered or stole much of them) and Cold War politics sustained these
repressive dictatorships.Heavy taxation, choking bureaucracy and
cronyism gradually decimated a small Egyptian middle class, the engine of
economic progress. Civil society practically disappeared. An ever restive
"street," manned by unemployable "students," was fertile ground for incessant
incitement by Islamic imams, by radicals of all stripes and by a jingoistic
press. Labor unions kept promoting radical socialist ideas, absorbed when Egypt
was practically a Soviet satellite and its elites were trained in
Moscow.The intellectual elites – academics, the media, writers, lawyers,
etc., and their associations became captive to radical elements – Islamists,
jingoists and communists.The "street" became an erratic and feared
political wild card. With no countervailing classical liberal tradition in the
Muslim world, there was nothing to resist radicalization.The blessings
inherited from colonial rule – functioning health, educational, legal and
transportation systems – degenerated. Growing discontent was brutally suppressed
by security services that were originally led and instructed by Communist East
Germany.Islamic insistence on complete obedience to the ruler
legitimized political, social and personal repression.High inflation
made marriage unaffordable. It harmed especially women and the sexually
repressed young, who could not marry until well into their thirties if at all,
creating an emotional powder keg ready to explode politically, as it eventually
did in Tahrir Square.Without profound social and economic changes,
Muslim rage will keep feeding unrest and rebellion.The Muslim
Brotherhood takeover in Egypt may repress, for a while, internal strife, but it
will probably result in worse crises, especially economic, in the
future.The story of the putative Arab spring is only beginning to
unfold. If we keep ignoring the economic elements involved in the revolt, it may
be difficult to address correctly the challenge posed by Islamic radicals who
have proven to be most adept at exploiting popular rage and directing it to
foreign adventures, such as a war of attrition with Israel.The most
impressive demonstration of the positive force of economics was offered by the
remarkable "peace process" between Israelis and Palestinian Arabs that took
place from 1967, when Israel ejected Jordan from its illegal occupation of the
West Bank, until the 1987 first intifada.While not officially recognized
as such because it was not a political process but an economically driven
development, this informal peace process saw an amazing, albeit partial,
reconciliation between the two peoples. Tens of thousands of Israelis shopped
and ate in formerly extremely hostile Arab towns and hundreds of thousands of
Palestinians Arabs were gainfully employed in Israel learning skills and
attitudes that had a great positive impact on their society.This
spontaneous process, initiated by General Moshe Dayan's policy of minimal
interference in internal Arab affairs, created a mutually beneficial exchange
between Israel's developed economy hungry for less costly labor and the
Palestinian poor and labor-intensive economy.The Palestinians' standard
of living quadrupled. Trade and small manufacture flourished. Agriculture
was modernized and made productive. Health and education were greatly improved,
as was the status of women, children and the lower classes.Despite the
great success of this non-political process, a messianic peace camp in Israel
and the Palestinian Liberation Organization were one in insisting on a political
solution leading to Palestinian statehood. This despite the certainty that such
a state would be an irredentist and repressive state, like most other Arab
countries.Israeli leaders made a pact with the devil Arafat.They
foolishly established the terrorist PLO as the sole representative of the
Palestinians, gave it a territory and a population to rule, money to function
and even guns.Upon assuming power, Arafat immediately sabotaged all
economic relations with Israel. He preferred that his people live in poverty so
that he could recruit their frustration and anger as a weapon against
Israel.Thus a great opportunity for a real peace between peoples was
missed and replaced by a conflict-prone political process. It is leading nowhere
except to greater division and war.Let us not forget that it was not
politics that brought an end to centuries of the worst-ever bloodshed among
Christian European nations, but the defeat of violent regimes followed by a
gradual economic union. It apparently made people realize that economic
cooperation is preferable to military conflict.There is no reason why a
similar process cannot take place in the Middle East if politicians will not
hinder the natural cooperation that economic exchange generates.

Goals are best reached when broken down into specific steps, so the best follow-up question for Dyson is "Do you plan to attempt to steal 80 times or 60 times, to reach 50 stolen bases?" I suspect he could steal 50 bases if he wanted to; the question is what he gives up, in outs, to do so.2. Mike Emeigh Posted: February 09, 2013 at 09:42 AM (#4366034)
Dyson's goal may be 50 steals, but in order to reach it he's going to have to outhit Lorenzo Cain, probably by a pretty substantial amount, otherwise he's going to be a 4th/5th OF. The only reason he played as much as he did a year ago was due to Cain's injury.3. Lassus Posted: February 09, 2013 at 09:57 AM (#4366043)
This seems a more reasonable goal than constructing a sphere around the sun.4. Davo's Favorite Tacos Are Moose Tacos Posted: February 09, 2013 at 10:06 AM (#4366050)
He's a better choice for right field than Francoeur. Granted, that says more about Francoeur than Dyson, but, still!5. The Anthony Kennedy of BBTF (Scott) Posted: February 09, 2013 at 10:17 AM (#4366055)
He had a 6:1 SB/CS ratio last year while stealing 30 bases, and was 11:1 the year before. The bigger issue is playing time.6. formerly dp Posted: February 09, 2013 at 10:25 AM (#4366059)
In 146 career games, he has stolen 50 bases against only 7 CS. And he doesn't necessarily need to be starting to rack up the steals-- in 2011, he appeared in 26 games and managed to steal 11 bases. Remember Otis Nixon? He stole 46 in 90 games one year, and 26 in 84 games at 40 years old.7. KronicFatigue Posted: February 09, 2013 at 10:48 AM (#4366070)
Any good studies on how NL lineup constructions could and should differ from their AL counterparts, specifically to speed? If I'm an NL team, I'm going out of my way to find a 4th outfielder who specializes in defense and baserunning. Seems like they'd have a ton of more value in the NL considering the double switch is also used more.8. What's the realistic upside, RMc? Posted: February 09, 2013 at 12:21 PM (#4366103)
This seems a more reasonable goal than constructing a sphere around the sun.9. Bug Selig Posted: February 09, 2013 at 01:28 PM (#4366110)
Whenever I see the name, I think of Picard saying, "Mr. Worf...could this be a Dyson Sphere?"
The scary thing about this goal is that the first step is likely "Get optioned to AAA."10. Edmundo got dem ol' Kozma blues again mama Posted: February 09, 2013 at 02:31 PM (#4366136)
Dyson's goals are in the best shape of his life.11. Al Kaline Trio Posted: February 09, 2013 at 02:36 PM (#4366139)
I suggest buying 100 pairs of batting gloves just in case.12. Walt Davis Posted: February 09, 2013 at 04:28 PM (#4366181)
in the NL considering the double switch is also used more.13. The elusive Robert Denby Posted: February 09, 2013 at 07:21 PM (#4366254)
But it almost never should be. The double switch only helps if you're planning on using the reliever you're bringing in for the next inning (or 2 innings). These days, that's almost never the case.
Granted, if you are going to make a defensive switch anyway then you might as well double-switch.
In support of #6, Dyson's 50 career steals are in just 450 career PA and 106 career starts.
But if I was being a jerk (moi?), my follow-up question would have been whether he has set a goal of, say, a 340 OBP.
my follow-up question would have been whether he has set a goal of, say, a 340 OBP.
And as a Royal, he would probably ask you what "OBP" was.

Ever notice how often Frenchy makes an out.
Yeah, I guess.
Well, the opposite of that.
Why would I want to be the opposite of Frenchy?
50 steals baby!
And as a Royal, he would probably ask you what "OBP" was.
If on-base percentage is so important, then why don't they put it up on the scoreboard?

In this Wi-Fi-on-planes-but-no-free-snacks world, it can be easy to lose sight of the innocence of kids when it comes to travel. Too often adults think a vacation has to mean boarding a plane, train or boat and heading to a faraway destination. Kids know better.
Take them away from their neighbourhood and drop them in another a few blocks down and they're as ready for an adventure as they would be if you transported them halfway around the world.
The bonus: no security lines to navigate and if you forget their favourite toy or sleep aid you're only a streetcar ride away.
But a vacation closer to home isn't just some elaborate ruse for the kids. It can actually feel like a real vacation if you take the right steps:
1. Move out: Yes, I know you live in the city but if you really want it to feel like time away, you'll need to take yourself out of the normal day-to-day phone-ringing, neighbours-calling, have-to-make-dinner environment you're used to. Move into one of the kid-friendly hotels downtown even if it's for a night or swap places (and neighbours) with a friend who's looking for a similar escape. (We did the Delta last summer and loved it: waterslide, kids' club and perfect location for access to everything.)
2. Budget for it: If you were going to Jamaica, you wouldn't just up and leave. Think ahead about how much you're willing to fork out for meals, souveniers and experiences.
3. Act like a tourist: Look at the Tourism Toronto website and map out some of the things you'd like to see and do. Order tickets, if you need to, ahead of time and make sure you've checked the weather forecast and special events calendars of the busiest spots. And yes, take a tour. Sure you'll feel silly at first but you'll also be surprised by what you don't know about your hometown.
4. Act like a local: You live here. That means you've got an advantage. You understand that the DVP turns into the "Don Valley Parking Lot" every afternoon and you can avoid it, you work downtown and can aptly navigate the underground PATH system, and you've got the luxury of having a sense of all the different neighbourhoods waiting to be explored if you step just a little off-the-beaten path. Take full advantage.
5. Bring enough adults: I once made the mistake of thinking "It's just Toronto. I can manage two kids on my own." I was wrong. Bring at least one adult per kid if you can swing it and outnumber them if you can. The younger the child, the stronger their built-in impulse to run in opposite directions at a theme park.
Looking for ideas? Here's a few Toronto hot spots that surprised us even though we though we thought we knew what we were in for.
The CN Tower: Tallest freestanding structure, glass elevator, spinning restaurant at the top and of course the test-your-bravery glass floor 342 metres above the ground. But best burger (a full half-pound!) in the city? That's the claim of the Horizon Café (lookout level). Same great views as up top, cheaper prices and no dinner jacket required. www.cntower.ca
Gardiner Museum: A ceramics museum may be the last place you would think you should take kids but just like Grandma's house, the breakables upstairs give way to a ton of fun waiting in the basement. Line up early for a spot at one of their hands-on clay classes on Friday evening or Sunday afternoons and both you and the kids can try your hand at crafting your own ceramic treasures for fun or to keep. www.gardinermuseum.on.ca
Casa Loma: What kid doesn't like a castle? But when the gargoyles and the climb up into the turrets don't do it anymore, add some drama to the mix by showing them some of the secret passages and the rooms where movies have been filmed. The perfect souvenir? Stop to get your little knight or medieval wench's photo taken in authentic gear near the gift shop (additional cost) and they'll mail you the hard copies for a welcome home treat. www.casaloma.org
Hockey Hall of Fame: I've never watched a full hockey game in my life. (I know: Bad, bad Canadian.) But even I was surprised that beyond the memorabilia in this hockey shrine lays some hands-on stick action that even a non-fan can get into. Practice shooting pucks and making saves or try your hand in the announcer booth and email your sportscast to friends and family. www.hhof.com
Rogers Centre Tour: Got a sports enthusiast or curious kid in your midst? Take the tour of Rogers Centre on a non-game day and they've got a chance to get right down on the field and see what it's like to be an Argo or Blue Jay. The behind-the-scenes tour also offers up access to the press box, back corridors and fun facts (the field is big enough to hold 516 African Elephants!) that will be sure to impress at your next get-together. www.rogerscentre.com/about/tours.jsp

Firm sees interest from advertisers with interactive TV offering.
As it continues to build out its ad sales efforts, mobile audio discovery service Shazam says it's seeing repeat buys from major advertisers for its "Shazamable" TV ads product.
Paramount Pictures and Proctor and Gamble are among ten advertisers launching initiatives with the company over the next couple months, over half of which are repeat customers, the firm's executive vice president of advertising sales, Evan Krauss, told ClickZ.
The Shazam for TV product invites users to "tag" TV ads by letting the smartphone application recognize the audio that accompanies them. Once an ad is tagged, users are driven to a custom branded experience, which can feature a range of calls to action such as click to shop, and social actions.
According to Krauss, the company stumbled upon the idea while experimenting with its platform, which was previously monetized primarily with display ads. "We did Shazam for TV initially as a collaboration whim, and then went back to research it more and see why it worked so well," he said, adding "We know people are sitting on their couch with their mobile devices, so that to me is the real second screen experience." Shazam has already run campaigns for brands including Old Navy, Honda, Paramount and American Express, and Krauss said around 75 percent of users that tag TV ads click through to visit the advertisers' landing page. He added that 27 percent of users clicked through to view clothing in the Old Navy online store after tagging that brand's ad, and that one of its advertisers saw more traffic from Shazam than it did when it included a URL in its ad. "The key is the engagement, and what people actually go on to do after tagging the ad," he said.
The Shazam app is currently available for a range of devices, including iPhones, BlackBerrys, and devices running Google's Android OS. It's been downloaded a total of 150 million times to date, and users tag around 4 million pieces of audio a day, the company said.

Do you think Peter Jackson's Hobbit films will be big successes?
Related Links
Relevant offers
The curtain has come down the premiere of The Hobbit, after a huge day in Wellington.
Stars signed autographs, fans cheered and Andy Serkis ran along the carpet high-fiving people. Wellington celebrated in style.
Throughout the sweltering day – by Wellington standards that is, with the mercury nudging 22C – the crowd kept growing, eventually getting close to an estimated 100,000, creating a scene reminiscent of the Lord of the Rings: Return of the King premiere in 2003.
''This is echoing in the past for me,'' Elijah Wood, who plays Frodo, said.
Serkis said Wellington felt like home. "It's fantastic, I don't really ever feel that I've left. I've spent seven birthdays here since 1999."
"The Return of the King was fantastic, but this is equally great. That people are willing to turn up and celebrate that these films have been made. They belong to New Zealand, and they belong to Wellington and it's just great to share it."
But despite the number of spectators, police reported well-behaved crowds - something the film's lead actor Martin Freeman, who plays Bilbo Baggins, commented on.
''For a baying mob, they are very well-behaved.''
A spokesman for Wellington Free Ambulance said it had been a very quiet day. They treated four people for a mild heat exhaustion, but they were back in the crowd after fluids.
With some in the crowd having camped out overnight to nab the best spots, the party atmosphere kicked of long before the A-listers arrived, with the film's trailer and musician Neil Finn helping keep the crowds entertained.
The red carpet walk officially began at 4.30pm, with many of the big names among the first to arrive.
For most it took about two hours to walk the 500m stretch to the Embassy Theatre, as the headline names stopped to talk to fans and sign a multitude of autographs.
The film's director, Sir Peter Jackson, said there was no better place to release the film.
''It's the home crowd isn't it? You can't do better.''
But during speeches before the screening, he admitted he had little choice in where the premiere would be held.
''I do know that if I didn't have a movie here for the premiere, I'd be in awful trouble. I'd be in the poo, as we say.''
Work on the film had gone down to the wire, and he had only seen a full version a few days ago.
''It was OK.''
Jackson said he didn't want to think about the fact that The Hobbit had almost been made in the UK.
"It came very close to it a couple of years ago, but we're just really lucky that we're having a supportive country and I think the right decision was made and I am very glad to be here today in Wellington and the home crowd came out to celebrate with us and that is very humbling."
He admitted feeling nervous ahead of tonight's premiere: "Yes, I am feeling nervous, it will be the first time I will be seeing the movie with an audience, I only just finished it, so I am very nervous.
"Once the film is out and a lot of people are seeing it, it becomes almost owned almost by the cinema-goers of the world. At the moment it just has left our hands."
Of the red-carpet reception, Dean O'Gorman - who plays the young dwarf Fili in the film - said "I didn't know what to expect, how would you prepare for something like this?".
The actor had already seen the movie and said he fell in love with the new 48-frames-per-second 3D. "It was great. Initially it's different but it's so clear and you really see everything and it's amazing."
But, for many in the cast tonight, it would be their first viewing of the film.
''I'm hoping I'm still in this film,'' Barry Humphries said.
Others to grace the red carpet included Cate Blanchett, who turned heads in a dress with a red chiffon top, white midriff and long black skirt.
She said she was excited to see the movie, but sad that Sir Ian McKellen, who played Gandalf, wasn't there for the premiere.
But Sir Ian was there in spirit, sending a video message from London.
''I wish I were there in my spiritual home in Wellington.''
Viewers were in for a treat, he said.
The first screenings started at 7.30pm in both the Reading and Embassy cinemas.

The Football Association of Ireland have confirmed that Giovanni Trapattoni has left his post as Republic of Ireland manager.
Trapattoni's departure comes after consecutive defeats against Sweden and Austria left Ireland facing an uphill task to qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Ireland can still qualify for the finals despite those losses, but would need a remarkable turnaround to have any chance of reaching the finals in Brazil.
They sit six points adrift of second-place Sweden with two games to go, and possess an inferior goal difference ahead of meetings with Group C leaders Germany and minnows Kazakhstan.
Trapattoni did lead Ireland to the UEFA European Championships in 2012, however he could not guide them past the group stage, suffering defeats to Croatia, Spain and Italy.
Ireland's prospective exit from World Cup qualifying will mean that they have not reached the finals of football's biggest tournament since 2002, when they made it to the round of 16 under the guidance of Mick McCarthy, who has been linked with a return to the post.
This newest failure has signalled the end for Trapattoni, with assistant Marco Tardelli also leaving his post.
"The Football Association of Ireland, Giovanni Trapattoni and Marco Tardelli today (Wednesday) announced that following an amicable meeting this morning, they have parted company by mutual consent," an FAI statement read.
However, despite his departure, Trapattoni was quick to express his admiration for the Irish fans.
"I want to thank everyone in Ireland who has given us their support during our time here which has always meant a lot to us," he said.
"We leave this country with emotion because we understand the Irish supporters who have a well-deserved international reputation and they have our utmost respect.
"I would also want to thank all FAI staff members, including the backroom team and the players who have been great to work with during the last three campaigns.
"I wish them well in the future and hope that the job we have done leaves everything in a good place for my successor to take over."

BEIRUT - Islamist rebels fighting President Bashar Assad's forces in Syria have rejected overtures from the United States to sit down and talk, a senior US diplomat said on Wednesday.The Syrian government said it was "reprehensible" that Washington was prepared to enter a dialogue with the Islamic Front, which comprises six major Islamist rebel groups and which Damascus considers a terrorist organization.The developments highlighted Washington's difficulties in engaging with the faction-ridden rebels in Syria's civil war.With five weeks to go before UN peace talks convene in Geneva, it is unclear who will represent the opposition, and the clock is ticking towards a Dec. 27 deadline set by UN mediator Lakhdar Brahimi for both sides to name their delegations."The Islamic Front has refused to sit with us, without giving any reason," US Syria envoy Robert Ford told Al Arabiya television, speaking in Arabic, a day after Secretary of State John Kerry said such talks might take place."We are ready to sit with them because we talk to all parties and political groups in Syria," Ford said.The Islamic Front has overshadowed the more moderate Free Syrian Army, which is formally led by the Supreme Military Council (SMC) and backed by Western and Arab powers.The Front has rejected the authority of the SMC, the military arm of the main political opposition in exile, and last week seized control of SMC weapons depots in northern Syria.In a video statement given to Reuters by the SMC on Wednesday, Ford described the takeover as "an extremely negative development" and urged disparate rebel groups to work together."If there is not tight cooperation between the different armed groups that are fighting the regime, the regime is going to be successful in surviving," he said."It is extremely important that the Supreme Military Council be able to play its role of coordinating. If it cannot do that, I do not see how the armed opposition can be truly effective."Kerry said on Tuesday a US meeting with the Islamic Front was possible as part of efforts to broaden opposition representation at the Geneva peace talks, but the Front's commanders are wary of openly coordinating with Washington.Any such public engagement with the United States could put the newly formed Islamic Front on a collision course with the powerful al-Qaida-linked Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant.The Syrian Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried on the state news agency that dialogue with the Islamic Front contradicted US and international commitments to combat terrorism, as well as "international pledges that terrorist organizations would not be given the chance to participate in the Geneva conference".The long-delayed talks in Switzerland are meant to discuss a political transition to lead Syria out of a 33-month-old conflict in which well over 100,000 people have been killed.The Islamic Front "agrees in principle, strategy and goals with the Nusra Front", the Syrian foreign ministry said, referring to another al Qaeda-linked rebel group that the State Department last year listed as a terrorist organization.

The Secret of Parenting
How to Be in Charge of Today's Kids--from Toddlers to Preteens--Without Threats or Punishment
Essential advice from the author of the bestselling Get Out Of My Life
Today's children--from toddlers to preteens--challenge their parents in ways that would have been unthinkable a generation ago, notes Anthony E. Wolf, and parents are often uncertain about how to cope.
In his new book, Wolf presents a fresh perspective on this less pleasant behavior and a surprisingly simple method for dealing with it. He argues that punishments and rewards don't work and may even be counterproductive. Instead, parents must act swiftly and decisively following Wolf's easy but powerful technique. Using numerous examples of effective and ineffective parent-child interactions, he offers practical advice on a wide range of basic issues, from tantrums and back talk, to getting kids off to school in the morning and eliminating sibling fights.
Humorous and easy to use, The Secret of Parenting is guaranteed to dramatically increase the joy parents get from raising their children.

Rays, Marlins, Braves and Rangers among teams interested in Ryan Raburn
Nov 29, 2012, 6:09 PM EDT
Ryan Raburn was released by the Tigers earlier this month after batting just .171/.226/.254 with one home run and a .480 OPS in 222 plate appearances this past season, but he's apparently a pretty popular target in free agency.
ESPN's Jayson Stark hears that six teams are in the mix for Raburn. The Rays, Marlins, Braves and Rangers appear to have the most interest at the moment.
While Raburn struggled miserably this past season, he averaged 15 homers per season from 2009-2011 and has extensive experience between second base and the corner outfield spots. The 31-year-old could be a useful bench player and right-handed bat.
- scoregasmic - Nov 29, 2012 at 6:25 PM
You can have him
- historiophiliac - Nov 29, 2012 at 6:46 PM
Yeah, I was surprised that anyone wanted to snap up Inge too.
- brianbowman16 - Nov 29, 2012 at 7:35 PM
Raburn belongs in the National League. As long as that dude is nowhere near Comerica Park wearing home whites, I could absolutely give a shit less where he plays. Call me bitter, but I've watched one too many home runs bounce off that dude.
- dracko19 - Nov 29, 2012 at 8:38 PM
I hear Figgins is available now too. He was better than Raburn last year. Wonder why teams aren't in on him?
- Old Gator - Nov 29, 2012 at 10:29 PM
Yeah, the Feesh are scraping the bottom of the barrel now in a concerted effort to convince any fans dense enough still to doubt that ownership wants to use them as pissing targets.
- historiophiliac - Nov 29, 2012 at 11:54 PM
Enjoy Raburn then.

Best Road to Avoid (2011)
Indian Creek Drive/Collins Avenue
At some point in their subtropically tanned lives, Miamians inevitably flip on the TV set and linger momentarily on a strange scene: a lithe, young athlete on skis slaloming among snow drifts during the Winter Olympics, knees snapping up and down like pistons in a hot-rod engine. But few here realize that to re-create the challenge, all you have to do is drive south on Indian Creek Drive in Miami Beach. As the street winds erratically alongside tiny Lake Pancoast, manholes protrude every 20 feet, forcing a constant stream of SoBe-bound taxis to swerve like Lindsey Vonn in and out of lanes. As in the Olympics, wipeouts are common on Indian Creek — only without soft powder to cushion the busted bumpers or shredded shocks. And just when the road straightens long enough to make you think you're home free, you spill onto the almighty clusterfuck that is Collins Avenue. That's where, stuck behind lowriders blasting bass at 5 mph or a cab with its door open for a puking passenger, you realize your Olympic aspirations are as fake as the boobs strutting past you. But who cares? The only gold we need is on our grill.
