Highlights from speakers at the Republican National Convention Wednesday
"Folks, we won't be in this situation with Mitt Romney in the White House," he said.
"May it never be said of us that when confronted with the economic peril before us, that we averted our eyes, turned away and did nothing," Thune said. "Our children's future depends on our willingness to act and our decision to elect Mitt Romney president of the United States."
Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio
Sen. Portman, who was rumored to be one of Romney's picks for the vice president slot, spoke about knocking down barriers abroad and at home in order to spur job creation and get the economy moving again.
The U.S. needs to knock down barriers to trade abroad, Portman said, but also needs to knock down the self-imposed barriers to success at home, such as an outdated tax code, huge regulatory burdens and a flawed energy policy. The president seeks to redistribute the economy, but Romney seeks to grow it, he said.
"We cannot afford four more years," Portman said. "How about, no more years?"
Portman also discussed the American dream, sharing the story of how his father built a small business, and ho free men and women around the nation have similarly bult businesses by being willing to take risks and build something of value.
"We need new leadership and new policies to bring back the dream and renew America's promise," Portman said. "No more excuses. No more blaming others. No more waiting."
Gov. Luis Fortuno, Puerto Rico
Fortuno, who endorsed Romney early in the primary process, spoke to the convention about the greatness that lies within each American, and hos government can help provide a chance for individuals to harness that greatness.
As families have tightened their budgets, Washington has not, Fortuno said. However, he added, there is a better way, and Republican governors across the nation are proving that to be the case.
When he took power in Puerto Rico, Fortuno said, it was on the brink of bankruptcy. Since then, his administration has cut government expenses, starting with his own salary, and has lowered taxes and reduced the deficit while investing in schools, highways and hospitals.
"Imagine if we had national policies that support rather than prevent growth," Fortuno said. "We'd be able to truly unleash the engine of prosperity that our country and our people deserve."
Tim Pawlenty
Romney's mild former presidential opponent came out swinging Wednesday, cracking jokes about the president while driving home his point about the relationship between government and job creators.
It's hard to decide which of the president's decisions have been worse, Pawlenty said — the stimulus, his energy policy, his taxes, or Joe Biden.
"Barack Obama is the first president to create more excuses than jobs," he said.
Pawlenty called Obama a "tattoo president," saying he seemed cool when voters were younger, but now that they're older they look at it and wonder, "What was I thinking?" He also joked the hard part would be explaining it to your children.
The president will spend his time at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., next week trying to convince voters to give him more time and more money.
"Sorry Mr. President," Pawlenty said. "But you're out of time and we're out of money.
Mike Huckabee
Although Huckabee was Romney's opponent in the 2008 GOP primaries, he may have helped Romney clinch the Evangelical vote with his speech at the convention Wednesday, which touched on the battle over contraception coverage and mentioned Romney's devotion to his religion.
For four years, the U.S. gave a chance to a man with very limited experience in government and no experience in business whatsoever, Huckabee said, but today, "we know full well we can do better."
The Obama administration's requirement that Catholics be required to cover birth control and some abortifacients, despite such things being against their religious beliefs, is an attack on all religions, Huckabee said.
On the subject of Romney's religion, Huckbee said, "I care far less as to where Mitt Romney takes his family to church than I do about where he takes this country."
He cited Romney's donations to charity as an example of his religious convictions, and said, "'d feel better about having a leader who gives more of his own money instead of mine."
While Democrats may say the president should get credit for trying, Huckabee said that sounded like "the nonsense of giving every kid a trophy for showing up."
"Friends, we're talking about leading the country, not playing on a third-grade soccer team," Huckabee said. "I realize this is the man who got a Nobel Peace Prize for what he would potentially do, but in the real world, you get the prize for producing something, not just promising it."

Written on: 08/02/2013
Hello everyone,
I live in Toronto and ordering something on live is scary. I ordered a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes in a size 4 which are hard to find or get. I read all the reviews on for net-a-porter and even called them as I seemed skeptical to order them per the comments I've read. I thought I would have a headache if I had problems. But, they were amazing. The duty/taxes were not much...when I received them there was no money owing for broker fees to release the package which was great. If you order something through other sites you needd a broker which is costly. It was worth every penny...I ordered them on Tues. Feb. 5th received them on Feb. 7th. the fastest service I have ever experienced. I'm sure if you are returning there is a hassle but I wa fortunate that I knew exactly the size I needed. Trust me I feel for those people as I usually return this and sometimes it is a heatache. I will try Net-a-Porter again and see what happens. Maybe they have improved with their customer service, give them a try...see for yourself.
Thank you Net-a-Porter for the Jimmy Choo shoes...I think they transferred them from London to NJ as they were the last size in 4.

March 26, 2015 - I received 2 dolls. Look very kindly.
February 13, 2015 - Different sweet little gift for that constant worrier, we all know. Great little stocking stuffer too.
January 4, 2015 - This item came as shown. I was very pleased with the work done on the doll. My 12 yr old son says he uses when he needs to and it really does work! Thanks.
September 17, 2014 - I am wearing mine as a pin on my sweater. Very cute!
August 19, 2014 - I've always tried to keep a set of the small worry dolls on hand, when I saw this version offered, I had to order one for me and two more for friends. These are very well made, excellent craftsmanship, a little larger than the group sets but adorable. Even better this purchase pays for 14 bowls of food for animals! What could be better?
Artisan: Doña Jerónima Juárez
Doña Jerónima Juárez was born in the small village of San Pedro Las Huertas, near Antigua, Guatemala. She stopped attending school after the third grade in order to supplement her family's income by helping her mother sell vegetables in the marketplace.
Doña Jerónima's mother taught her to make worry dolls, a traditional craft in Guatemala. She recalls, "I was trying for 2 months to make the worry dolls; I made one but was not good enough then I undid the dolls and tried again and again and again lots of times."
Her perseverance paid off. Eleven years ago, she was able to found a small workshop, "Artesanias Multicolor," in the Colonial City of La Antigua Guatemala. She is able to employ fifteen artisans in the production of traditional and not-so-traditional handicrafts, including the "Worry Cats," a design she developed exclusively for the Greater Good Network.
With their livelihood no longer tied solely to the agricultural harvest, Doña Jerónima, her mother, and her three daughters continue to turn their traditional crafting skills towards the creation of new and unique designs.

Two Thumbs Up
Fricken awsome it i had more thumbs i would put them all up!! But like warrior4321 said he the spartians actually faces an army in the thousands and they wernt defeated untill they were surrounded. Other than that... IT WAS SO FRICKEN AWSOME!!!!!!
good but short
The Persian's were one of the best armies of their time. 300 exaggerated the movie too much, it wasn't 300 it was actually like 1000 or 2000 versus 8000 .
None the less, one battle which went wrong for them, and 100 movies on that, why not make a movie on their accomplishements. They had the most terroritory of their time, more than the Romans. They had made the first Human Rights and given people the freedom of worshipping their own God.
pretty good
it was good but still no blood and it was short still wicked
amazing but short
My blood was pomping but was cut short REALLY FAST but its still something unique cuz of the end LOL!!
Have you noticed...

The entrance to the park is at the intersection of Walnut Bend and Germantown road across from a gas station (just south of Walnut Grove). There is a HUGE sign that says Gate 19, Shelby Farms. If you are at Lowes, head north. If you are at Wal-Mart or Trinity. head south.
What to Bring:
Bring snacks, water, sunscreen, and a hat. Wear either sneakers or hiking boots and dress in layers. It is also good to bring a backpack if you wish to remove layers. Bring bug spray. This is an easy hike on well marked trails, perfect for those new to hiking. We hike between 2-4 hours. If you go the whole way out and back, it is just over 7 miles. We usually break into at least two groups (those going all the way and those going part), so don't feel like you have to do the whole 7 miles.
The Park:
Lucius Burch Natural Area is a 728-acre natural area located in Germantown and Shelby County and is a part of a larger 6,000-acre county park. The natural area is a remnant of historic river meanders, bald cypress-water tupelo swamps, bottomland hardwood forests, and open river channel habitat. Unfortunately, much of this ecosystem has been significantly altered as a result of change in hydrology and the invasion of common privet, an invasive exotic pest plant. Lucius Burch Natural Area offers passive recreation activities such as day hiking, bird watching, and wildlife viewing within the metropolitan Memphis area.
Map of Lucius Burch Trails (PDF)
The parking lot we meet at is just south of Germantown and Walnut Grove. Drive all the way into the back parking lot. Google Map of our regular meetup locations.
Finding the Group:
Call me when you get there, [masked].
Such a fun walk. And the weather was simply beautiful!

In the midst of the widespread popularity and adoption of cloud computing, it seems like everything is being offered "as a Service" these days: Infrastructure? Check. Platform? You bet. Software? Absolutely. Toaster? It's only a matter of time. With service providers positioning vastly differing offerings under a generic "cloud" umbrella, it's all too easy to get confused about what's actually being offered. In his session at 16th Cloud Expo, Kevin Hazard, Director of Digital Content for SoftL...

Even though it's now Microservices Journal, long-time fans of SOA World Magazine can take comfort in the fact that the URL – soa.sys-con.com – remains unchanged. And that's no mistake, as microservices are really nothing more than a new and improved take on the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) best practices we struggled to hammer out over the last decade. Skeptics, however, might say that this change is nothing more than an exercise in buzzword-hopping. SOA is passé, and now that people are ...

For those of us that have been practicing SOA for over a decade, it's surprising that there's so much interest in microservices. In fairness microservices don't look like the vendor play that was early SOA in the early noughties. But experienced SOA practitioners everywhere will be wondering if microservices is actually a good thing. You see microservices is basically an SOA pattern that inherits all the well-known SOA principles and adds characteristics that address the use of SOA for distribut...

Microservice architectures are the new hotness, even though they aren't really all that different (in principle) from the paradigm described by SOA (which is dead, or not dead, depending on whom you ask). One of the things this decompositional approach to application architecture does is encourage developers and operations (some might even say DevOps) to re-evaluate scaling strategies. In particular, the notion is forwarded that an application should be built to scale and then infrastructure sho...

Microservices are the result of decomposing applications. That may sound a lot like SOA, but SOA was based on an object-oriented (noun) premise; that is, services were built around an object - like a customer - with all the necessary operations (functions) that go along with it. SOA was also founded on a variety of standards (most of them coming out of OASIS) like SOAP, WSDL, XML and UDDI. Microservices have no standards (at least none deriving from a standards body or organization) and can be b...

Right off the bat, Newman advises that we should "think of microservices as a specific approach for SOA in the same way that XP or Scrum are specific approaches for Agile Software development". These analogies are very interesting because my expectation was that microservices is a pattern. So I might infer that microservices is a set of process techniques as opposed to an architectural approach. Yet in the book, Newman clearly includes some elements of concept model and architecture as well as p...

Microservices, for the uninitiated, are essentially the decomposition of applications into multiple services. This decomposition is often based on functional lines, with related functions being grouped together into a service. While this may sound a like SOA, it really isn't, especially given that SOA was an object-centered methodology that focused on creating services around "nouns" like customer and product. Microservices, while certainly capable of being noun-based, are just as likely to be v...

Lamont confirms Glasgow switch
ESPNscrum Staff
December 19, 2011
Sean Lamont will return to Scotland with Glasgow © Getty Images
Scotland winger Sean Lamont will leave the Scarlets at the end of the season to re-join their RaboDirect PRO12 rivals Glasgow.
The 30-year-old - capped 60 times by his country - follows his brother, former Sale and Toulon fullback Rory, in signing with the Warriors.
"I am very grateful for the opportunities I've been given at the Scarlets - it's been an excellent time for me and one of the best moves of my career to join such a positive and energetic team environment and the chance to play a brand of rugby I thrive on and enjoy," he said.
"The Scarlets are a very close-knit team, the set-up has strong values and it's been good to be part of a first-class professional environment at Parc y Scarlets. The boys are great to work alongside and the traditions and style of rugby engrained in the West Wales community is one that leaves a huge mark on you as a player."
Lamont discussed the move with Scotland boss Andy Robinson before putting pen to paper with the Warriors, where he previously starred between 2003 and 2005 before a switch to England with Northampton Saints.
"This was genuinely a very difficult decision for me and having spoken to Andy [Robinson] at Scotland, it's probably the right move for me now and it gives me the chance to take my young family back home and that's important to me personally," he said.

"Superstar" Billy Graham Talks How Close He Came to Death & More
by Staff - January 31, 2013
Arda Ocal spoke with "Superstar" Billy Graham in his first interview since overcoming double pneumonia. Here are some highlights.
How his health is and how close he came to death: "I was just released from the world famous Mayo Clinic Hospital just 2 days ago actually last Thursday from the flu which turned into double pneumonia, which is fluid in each lung and then congestive heart failure. I feel very good, excellent really. I'm back painting. (Doctors) told me about another 10 more days before I can get back in the gym"
Not actually having heat with CM Punk and Chris Jericho, and how he feels about his comments after going through his health scare: "I know that Chris Jericho has never really cared for me, really basically from day one, but anyway I was very shocked (by his comments), I was just trying to make a observation of how things have evolved in professional wrestling with body types. I meant no harm or disrespect to CM Punk whatsoever because he's a hard worker and dedicated."

Shaw gains new fighter group
The 495th Fighter Group will stand up during an activation ceremony here March 8 at 9:45 a.m. at the Carolina Skies Club and Conference Center.
The 495th Fighter Group's activation is part of the Air Force's ongoing initiative to integrate traditional, active-duty Airmen with Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve units to streamline training and resource use. Such integrated units are called active associate units.
The 495th Fighter Group staff will be headquartered here. The group will guide 10, 9th Air Force-affiliated, active associate fighter detachments co-located with host Guard and Reserve units across the country.
Five years ago, Air Force leaders recognized a changing force structure and budget constraints demanded creative ways to generate experienced fighter pilots. Their solution was to leverage the Guard's and Reserve's experience, continuity and assets through an initiative called Total Force Integration.

N. Korea flood aid
Publication Date : 10-08-2012
Seoul officials might have felt somewhat embarrassed by Vietnam's reported commitment to donate 5,000 tons of rice to flood-hit North Korea. Making the pledge in his meeting with North Korea's visiting nominal head of state Kim Yong-nam on Monday, Vietnamese President Truong Tan Sang expressed his "deep sympathy" for the deaths and property damage caused by the flooding. Pyongyang's official news agency said last Saturday floods in the North had killed 169 people since late June, with about 400 missing and around 212,000 homeless.
A day earlier, Seoul's Unification Ministry said it was not considering offering aid to the North, but reiterated that there had been no change in its policy of helping vulnerable North Koreans on purely humanitarian grounds if necessary.
South Korea is unlikely to extend a helping hand to North Korea unless Pyongyang makes a request. The administration of President Lee Myung-bak, which has emphasised reciprocity in inter-Korean ties, seems to be in no mood to initiate the offer as the North has maintained a hostile stance.
The South also has an unpleasant memory of the North rebuffing its proposal of flood assistance worth 5 billion won (US$4.43 million) last year as too small to accept.
But Seoul officials seem to find it increasingly awkward to remain indifferent as international agencies and aid groups are moving to help North Korean flood victims.
Departing from its past stance, North Korea has been active in updating casualty figures and appealing for assistance from the outside world. It allowed UN officials based in Pyongyang to visit the worst-hit areas to make an on-site assessment.
Some officials here suspect North Korea might be exaggerating flood damage to draw more aid from the international community. An unidentified government official was even quoted by a local daily as saying that Pyongyang appears to be trying to boost the image of openness under its young new leader Kim Jong-un through the active campaign for foreign assistance.
This view might be overstretched, though it is difficult at present to assess the longer-term impact of the flooding on food supplies in the North.
A UN report based on the on-site inspection, which was released last week, called for immediate assistance for the flood victims. Some agencies of the global body, including the World Food Program and the UN Children's Fund, and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies have undertaken work to send emergency aid to help the victims. US officials have also made remarks that can be interpreted as suggesting the possibility of providing flood assistance for North Korea on humanitarian grounds.
The Lee administration is advised not to be too late in proposing emergency aid to the North to avoid falling out of step with the pace of international relief movement. There might be little room for considering reciprocity in offering assistance to help protect flood victims from hunger and disease. The blame would go only to Pyongyang if it rejects Seoul's proposal again for the same reason as last year.
This measure would also help form a favourable atmosphere for handling another humanitarian issue between the two Koreas ― the reunion of separated families, which has been suspended since 2010 amid the frozen inter-Korean ties. President Lee is expected to propose resuming the family reunion in his August 15 Liberation Day speech.
Amid improved circumstances, South and North Korea would be able to work together to cope with widespread deforestation in the North, which has made it prone to severe flooding.
During his talks with the Vietnamese leader, the North Korean official was quoted as saying the rice donation would help his people overcome their difficulties. Beyond the remarks of gratitude, North Korea should learn from its former communist ally's reform efforts, which has transformed Vietnam from a rice importer to the world's second-largest rice exporter over the past two decades while possibly millions of North Koreans have starved to death.

Medford's unique TV market reaches a critical crossroad

Behind the TV screens
Diversified corporations own each of the four major network affiliates based in Medford. Each has multiple businesses and revenue sources designed to offset the swings in station revenue, as well as to pay for the high cost of purchasing new equipment required to remain competitive in today's complex broadcast world.
KOBI (Channel 5, NBC) is the oldest TV station (1953) of parent company California Oregon Broadcasting Inc., owned and operated by Patsy Smullin. COBI owns TV stations in Medford, Klamath Falls, and Eugene. KOBI-TV serves the largest number of households of any of the Medford television stations due to serving via microwave 11 counties. COBI owns cable systems in central and eastern Oregon and operates a high-end digital production company that caters to corporate and other video clients. And while KDRV is the local news leader by most key ratings, Patsy Smullin is the face of the local broadcast industry.
KDRV (Channel 12, ABC) is the Medford flagship for Chambers Communications, based in Eugene. Founded and owned by Carolyn S. Chambers, Chambers operates ABC affiliates in Medford, Eugene, Klamath Falls and Bend, has cable interests and a production/post-production video unit similar to that of COBI's, and owns the Oregon Sports Network. Since a management downsizing last summer, KDRV Market Manager Mark Hatfield's corporate responsibilities have increased; he now oversees news and programming in Bend and Eugene as well as Medford.
KTVL (Channel 10, CBS) is owned and operated by Freedom Communications, which recently emerged from Chapter 11 reorganization. Freedom has myriad media and related interests, including the Orange County Register, the daily newspaper in Orange County, Calif., and seven other medium-to-small-market television stations. Where KTVL's corporate owner once represented a substantial competitive edge due to its deep pockets, now that all its assets are on the auction block, KTVL's future is uncertain. Bids for Freedom's properties have been solicited but as of July 1, no media assets had been sold.
KMVU (Channel 26, Fox) is the Medford flagship for Fox Broadcasting. KMVU doesn't do local programming; it contracts out its news programming to KOBI. In Eugene, the situation is reversed: the Eugene Fox station, KLSR, provides news content for KOBI's sister station, KEVU. However, both stations are owned by COBI, KOBI's corporate owner. Another revenue stream for Patsy Smullin's media empire.

Drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline rocked as yet another bribery scandal emerges
Published: 07 April 2014
Updated: 16:30, 07 April 2014
Britain's biggest drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline was facing fresh bribery allegations today - this time in Iraq - as the drugs giant continues to battle a multi-million-pound corruption probe in China.
The latest scandal involves claims that Brentford-headquartered GSK hired Iraqi government doctors and pharmacists, paying them to act as sales representatives to boost revenues for its medicines improperly.
Someone involved with GSK's Middle East operations reported the alleged corrupt practices in Iraq — which are said to have begun in 2012 but continue to this day — to executives in the UK, the Wall Street Journal reported. The emails claim that the alleged malpractice violated both the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Britain's Bribery Act.
"We are investigating allegations of improper conduct in our Iraq business. We have zero tolerance for unethical or illegal behaviour," a GSK spokesman said. "These allegations relate to a small number of individuals in the country. However, we are investigating whether there has been any improper conduct."
The latest probe comes as Chinese authorities continue to investigate claims that GSK funnelled up to three billion yuan (£291 million) in cash, as well as offering "gifts", including prostitutes, to doctors and officials in the Asian powerhouse to raise sales.
GSK's Chinese sales plunged 61% in the third quarter of last year and 18% in the final quarter after its offices were raided by Chinese police and staff were arrested.
The group is still co-operating with Chinese authorities, and the US Department of Justice, the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the UK Serious Fraud Office have all been informed of the investigation.
GSK's pharma business in Iraq is far smaller, with fewer than 60 employees, but the damage to its reputation of these claims — so soon after the China allegations which chief executive Sir Andrew Witty denounced as "shameful" — could be vast. Shares fell 14.4p to 1562.6p, as the City waited for more details to digest. Savvas Neophytou, pharma analyst at Panmure Gordon, said: "The company has good processes which allowed them to uncover corrupt behaviours — which, it must be said, are not uncommon in that part of the world."
In its annual report, published in February, GSK admitted that "illegal acts similar to those alleged to have occurred in China have occurred elsewhere in the group."
It also warned of the possibility the "Chinese business is not supportable in light of the subsequent decline in trading and the potential impact on future business".
But Witty — who received a pay packet of £7.2 million for 2013, when GSK was rocked by that Chinese bribery scandal — has described himself as an "extreme bull" on GSK's emerging market prospects.

Help, I forgot my username and/or password
Sunni Muslim-ruled Gulf Arab states are often wary of subversion from their powerful Shi'ite neighbour Iran, but Dubai's veteran police chief reserves most of his wrath for the "dictators" of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Dhahi Khalfan's suspicions focus mostly on the Egyptian branch of the Sunni Islamist organisation, propelled to power in the most populous Arab country in elections since the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak in a popular uprising in 2011.
"The Brotherhood as a ruling party in Egypt has no right to interfere with other countries. They are no longer a political party and should respect the independence of other countries," Khalfan told Reuters in an interview this week.
He reiterated charges that Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood was linked to an alleged plot to topple the UAE government, saying the group's ultimate goal was Islamist rule in all Gulf states.
Khalfan, who has often railed against the Brotherhood on his Twitter account, is one of only a few UAE officials to speak publicly about politics.
While he says his tweets are personal views, diplomats say they reflect concerns among the UAE ruling elite about the regional popularity of Islamists and the possibility that the West will engage with them.
Khalfan complained that the West "sympathises, adopts and supports" the Brotherhood, saying he did not understand why.
His stance testifies to new tensions in the Arab world arising from two years of popular ferment that has unseated autocrats in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen, although it has so far spared U.S.-allied dynasties in the Gulf and elsewhere.
Khalfan, one of the Gulf's longest serving security officials, defended a trial of the 94 alleged Emirati plotters that human rights groups have criticised as unfair.
"These are dictators," he said of the Brotherhood, which is banned in the UAE, a wealthy, politically stable federation of seven emirates including free-wheeling global trade hub Dubai.
"They want to change regimes that have been ruling for a long time, but they also want to rule forever... We have evidence this group was planning to overthrow rulers in the Gulf region."
He said the defendants, who include lawyers, teachers, judges and a member of the ruling family of one of the emirates, had reached an advanced stage in their alleged conspiracy.
Foreign reporters and international human rights groups have not been allowed to attend the trial that began on March 4.
UAE newspapers have said the defendants belong to al-Islah, a local Islamist group. Al-Islah says it wants peaceful reforms and has no direct links to Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, although it acknowledges that its ideology is similar.
"The UAE... acted at the right time to stop the Muslim Brotherhood plan that is being directed by the Murshid," Khalfan said, referring to Egypt's Brotherhood leader Mohamed Badie.
The Brotherhood in Egypt, one of whose members, Mohamed Mursi, was elected head of state in June, rejected Khalfan's accusations that the group was involved in subversion abroad.
"We do not act outside the law in any country. We guard the preservation of the law," Brotherhood spokesman Ahmed Aref said. "He (Khalfan) has no evidence of this, of any conspiracy."
UAE-Egyptian ties have been strained since the fall of Mubarak, an ally of Gulf Arab states and a foe of the Brotherhood, which was founded in Egypt in 1928.
Some UAE Islamists, inspired by the rise of religious groups in Egypt and Tunisia, have stepped up their activities, angering officials in a state where no political opposition is permitted.
Asked to describe threats to the UAE, Khalfan said at least two Emiratis had gone to Syria to fight for rebels trying to depose President Bashar al-Assad, but suggested al Qaeda-style militants were not widely supported in the Emirates.
The main Islamist current in the UAE was the Muslim Brotherhood, he said.
Asked about neighbouring Qatar's close ties to the Brotherhood, Khalfan said the UAE respected the Qatari leadership, even if the two countries had differing views.
On Iran, Khalfan, head of Dubai's police force for three decades, criticised what he called Tehran's interference in the affairs of Gulf Arab states and its threats to close the Straits of Hormuz in its standoff with the United States.
However, his language on Iran was relatively restrained, describing it as a neighbour "that is very hard to please".

The rover uses an X-ray imager to reveal the atomic structures of crystals in the Martian soil, the first time the technology, known as X-ray diffraction, has been used to analyze soil beyond Earth.
"This was a 22-year journey and a magical moment for me," NASA's David Blake, lead scientist for the rover's mineralogical instrument, told reporters during a conference call.
Urgent Poll: Election Day Is Next Tuesday. Obama or Romney?
Curiosity found the Martian sand grains have crystals similar to basaltic soils found in volcanic regions on Earth, like Hawaii.
Scientists plan to use the information about Mars' minerals to figure out if the planet most like Earth in the solar system could have supported and preserved microbial life.
"The mineralogy of Mars' soil has been a source of conjecture until now," said Curiosity scientist David Vaniman of the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona.
"This interest isn't just academic," he added. "Soils on planets' surfaces are a reflection of surface exposure processes and history, with information on present and past climates."
Specifically, scientists want to understand what conditions existed to allow the particular minerals to form. The first Martian soil scoop is mineralogically similar to basaltic materials and comprised primarily of feldspar, pyroxene and olivine.
About half the soil is non-crystalline materials, like volcanic glass, that form from the breakdown of rocks.
Several processes can account for this weathering, including interaction with water or oxygen, similar to how rust forms on iron-metal surfaces.
Brute force, such as sandstorms or meteorite impacts, also could account for the soil's weathered components, said chemist Douglas Ming of NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.
The Curiosity rover landed inside a giant impact crater near the Martian equator in August for a two-year, $2.5-billion mission, NASA's first astrobiology expedition since the 1970s-era Viking probes.
The rover is scouting a site where three types of rock intersect. Next year, scientists plan to drive it over to a three-mile (5-km) mound of sediment, named Mount Sharp, rising from the floor of the crater.
Urgent Poll: Election Day Is Next Tuesday. Obama or Romney?
"We're hopeful that once we get into the truly ancient materials on Mount Sharp, we will find minerals that suggest there was a habitable environment of some kind there. We haven't had that happen yet, but we have a lot of time left," Blake said.
While X-ray diffraction has been around for a century, using the technology on Mars required years of work to scale down refrigerator-sized equipment into something that would fit into the space of a shoe box.
The miniaturized, low-power instrument is used in the mining, oil and gas industries and is being evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to screen for counterfeit pharmaceuticals.

Brandon Dubinsky might regret fighting tonight
Mar 6, 2012, 8:59 PM EDT
The pressure's been on for New York Rangers forward Brandon Dubinsky to turn his season around, but perhaps he took the wrong course to make a big impact tonight. Dubinsky hurt his hand in tonight's game against the New Jersey Devils and won't return, according to Steve Zipay.
ESPN's Katie Strang points out that Dubinsky hasn't been in action since he dropped the gloves with Ryan Carter. It's pretty easy to put two and two together on that one, wouldn't you say?
Here's the scuffle in question, via Hockey Fights:
Hope it was worth it …
- martysbetter - Mar 6, 2012 at 11:30 PM
Must have hurt his hand holding onto Carter's jersey for dear life.
Carter should be the one with the hand injury with the amount of times he slammed his fist into that bowl cut.
- sfbookreviews - Mar 7, 2012 at 1:57 AM
Yeah, petty one-sided for sure, but gotta love the mutual decision to set the helmets aside. The irony is that most hand injuries are from striking the helmet. Go figure.
