Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Sam Bollier | 24 Oct 2012 17:32 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Iraq, United States
Four third-party candidates, who were not invited to the presidential debates between President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, have faced eachother in Chicago.
Tuesday's debate was hosted by the Free and Equal Elections Foundation, a group promoting a more open electoral process, and moderated by talk show host Larry King.
Live Box 201210894257568382
"It's a two-party system, but not a two-party system by law," King said. Obama and Romney were also invited, but declined to attend.
The participants included former Salt Lake City mayor Rocky Anderson, former Virginia congressman Virgil Goode, former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson, and Green Party nominee Jill Stein, who ran against Romney in Massachusetts in 2002.When asked about the Pentagon's budget, during the debate, all four candidates agreed that military spending should be cut. Goode was perhaps the most circumspect; the other candidates called for big cuts. For instance, Johnson said military spending should be cut by 43 per cent.Goode, who voted to authorise the war in Iraq in 2003, said: "If I'm elected president ... part of the cuts have to be in the Deparmtent of Defence. We cannot do as Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan suggest. I support a strong defence but we need to retrench rather than being the policeman of the world."In response, Johnson said: "The biggest threat to our national security is the fact that we're bankrupt." He supports a 43 per cent reduction in military spending - 2003 spending levels, he pointed out.Stein, the Green Party nominee, said: "A foreign policy based on militarism ... is making us less secure, not more secure. We need to cut the budget and bring the troops home."
Since 1988, candidates have only been invited by the Commission on Presidential Debates to participate if polls find they have more than 15 per cent support.
So far, only one candidate has met that criterion, the billionaire Ross Perot, who debated Bill Clinton and George H W Bush in 1992.
Alternative presidential debates for third-party candidates have been held since 1996, but George Farah, author of No Debate: How the Republican and Democratic Parties Secretly Control the Presidential Debates, says he "[doesn't] remember one getting this much attention, having Larry King moderate it."
A second third-party match-up will be held on October 30.
High threshold
Farah describes the 15 per cent threshold as "just substantially too high".
He notes that in order to receive federal matching funds, parties only have to have received five per cent of the vote in the previous election. "It doesn't make any sense. It's an arbitrary figure," he told Al Jazeera.
Farah says third-party or independent candidates face "Herculean structural barriers", arguing they face a fundraising disadvantage compared to Republican and Democratic candidates, and have to collect huge numbers of signatures in some states to get their names printed on the ballot.
Another hurdle is the structure of the US winner-take-all electoral system. Research shows third-party candidates perform better in countries that have proportional representation or instant runoff voting systems.
Although most public opinion polls of the presidential race do not ask whether voters support third-party candidates, one Gallup survey released in September found that three per cent nationally say they will vote for either Stein, Johnson, or Goode.
In many states, citizens will not be able to vote for third-party candidates even if they want to.
"It's a two-party system, but not a two-party system by law."
- Larry King
The US has a highly complex patchwork of ballot access laws, and all 50 states have somewhat different requirements for candidates' names to be printed on the ballot.
Candidates not affiliated with either major party must collect a certain number of signatures from voters in order for their names to be automatically printed on ballots.
If they fail to meet this threshold, some states allow third-party candidates' names to be manually written in by voters instead.
Certain states, like North Carolina and Oklahoma, are notoriously difficult for third-party candidates to gain access; others, like Louisiana, are much easier.
Only Obama and Romney are on the ballot in all 50 states and Washington, although Johnson is close, with 48 state ballots listing his name.
Records broken
Richard Winger, who runs the website Ballot Access News, thinks third-party candidates are likely to receive a higher share of the vote this year than in 2008.
Live Box 201259843999621
He attributes this partly to the high enthusiasm for Barack Obama in 2008.
"There was so much optimism and happiness" about Obama and about electing the country's first black president, he told Al Jazeera. As a result, less than 1.5 per cent of the vote went to minor parties.
Winger said the state which will deliver the highest share of its vote to third-party candidates "may very well be Alaska". Because it is four time zones behind the East Coast, many voters already know who will win, explains Winger.
He notes that Ralph Nader, who ran in every presidential election from 1992 to 2008, received a greater share of the vote there in 2004 than in any other state.
Farah also predicts a higher share of voters in New Mexico than in other states will choose third-party candidates as Johnson used to govern the state and "remains quite popular" there.
Third-party candidates have already broken one record this year: Winger says that there are 27 individuals this year whose names are on the ballot in at least one state. The previous record was 23, set in the 1992 election.
The debate was broadcast by Al Jazeera and Russia Today but on no major US cable news networks.

After a summer of extensive renovation, the space at the Eagle Village Shops that was georges', Le Mas Perrier and Le Mas will be reborn Sept. 3 as Peppercorn (503 W. Lancaster Ave., Wayne, 610-964-2588).
Concept is billed as refined American, and chef David Murray - one of a few holdovers from the previous incarnation - seemingly will offer something for everyone, from lamb burgers and herb-roasted chicken wings up to USDA Prime Center Cut 12-ounce New York strip steak and USDA Prime 8-ounce filet mignon (prices run the board from $7 to $48).
Running the front of the house is Aaron Kavulich, who ran restaurants in Pittsburgh.
Michael Klein
Sept. 6 will mark the debut of Pizzeria Vetri, taking shape at 1939 Callowhill St.
It's a half-block from the Barnes museum in the suddenly hot slice of Franklintown, in a spare, high-ceilinged, subway-tiled space at The Granary.
Marc Vetri and chefs Jeff Michaud and Brad Spence have a wood-burning Renato model AR/700S oven to put out traditional Neapolitan pizzas, the rectangular Roman-style pizza al taglio, the roll-ups called rotolo, and a calzone. Figure on $12 to $18 for a pizza.
Michael Klein
Carmel Cafe & Wine Bar - which started in Tampa less than three years ago and now has five locations in Florida - is aiming for a Sept. 9 opening at 372 W. Lancaster Ave. in Wayne, previously the site of HogFish Bar & Grill and its predecessor, Flavor.
Carmel's concept is Mediterranean-inspired fare (which they call "Mod Med"), available in small and large plates. Each is designed to be paired with wines, which will be available in three-, six- or nine-ounce pours or by the bottle.
Founders are the Camden-raised Terry Ryan, who was behind the posh Oceanaire during its brief tenure in Center City, and Chris T. Sullivan, who years ago headed Outback.
Michael Klein
The long-delayed Shifty's Taco is in soft-opening mode at 2730 W. Girard Ave. in Brewerytown (215-232-1413).
Befitting the neighborhood - above Fairmount and east of the Philadelphia Zoo - Shifty's is a rough-and-tumble-looking 1950s-style Mexican cantina with exposed walls, butcher block counter and open kitchen framed in wood.
Zack Shell (who formerly managed the El Fuego restaurants) and Geoff Gabrick (a chef previously at Circa, Novelty and Latest Dish) make their own tortillas and hot sauces, butcher their own meats, and locally source as many ingredients as they can. "We have high expectations for ourselves," says Jeb Woody, who owns the Honey's Sit N Eat cafes and is a partner. "We want to make the best tacos in the country." Flour and gluten-free corn tortillas envelop the tacos, sold three per order. Prices start at $5 for bean and cheese and rise to $8 for such varieties as "The Rub" (braised brisket with chipotles in adobo) and "The Impostor" ((house-made pulled seitan, pomegranate molasses and chipotle mole).

Chink's Steaks in Northeast Philly took great pains to rebrand earlier this year as Joe's Steaks & Soda Shop.
But it's possible that the Chink's name - the subject of controversy - will reach a national audience Saturday, Aug, 24.
The NBC drama Do No Harm (10 p.m.) shot a scene last year at the shop, before the name change.

You might say that Ellen Yin, Roberto Sella and chef Eli Kulp are changing their Fork.
After business Friday, Aug. 23, fork:etc., the market-cafe next to the Old City bistro Fork (306 Market St.), will close for good after nine years.
In mid-September, the spot will become a bit higher-minded, though still casual. They're describing High Street on Market (308 Market St.) - named after the colonial name for Market Street - as an "of-the-moment restaurant" serving 'boundary-pushing" food from morning to evening. Kulp's menu will constantly change and will feature difficult-to-find, foraged ingredients. He also plans to use Old World preservation techniques.

Bernard Perrier, 65 - the front-of-the-house counterpart of his older brother, chef Georges Perrier - died unexpectedly Sunday, Aug. 18 at home in Moorestown. His daughter Carrie Boxer said the cause was heart failure.
Services: 10 to 11:30 a.m. Friday, Aug. 23 at Weber Funeral Home, 112 Broad St., Riverton.
Bernard, who grew up in Lyon and Saint Nizier, came over in September 1973, shortly after Georges opened Le Bec-Fin on Spruce Street. He cut a towering figure, in vivid contrast to his brother.
Michael Klein
Last we heard from Sylva Senat, the Haitian-born New Yorker had been relieved of the executive chef's job at Tashan, the modern Indian destination on South Broad Street, and was considering a move back to the land of 212/718.
This is not to be.
Senat has landed as chef at The Saint James, the stylish (but critically panned) American bistro at Suburban Square.

Alternative Rain Water Collection
In our community garden we have no access to downspouts for rain water collections. Any ideas for other sources of collection?
If you have a fence, a sheet of plastic and some 5-gallons buckets or clean garbage cans, cut the sheet of plastic into lengths about 1.5 times as wide as your container. You will have to see what the length should be when you put it together. Clothespin the short edge securely along the top of the fence, draw the rest of the piece out at an angle (to catch the water), set the 'tail' of the plastic in the bucket, and set a large, smooth rock on the end of the tail to hold it down (otherwise, the wind will blow it out).
While more horizontal plastic will catch the most rain, it will also tend to catch it and hold it, sagging between the fence and the bucket. You will need to experiment just how long and at what angle is best.
Otherwise, if there is a shed or building nearby, see where the water pours off the roof and put a garbage can under it.
If you do have some kind of structure, contact a local guttering company and explain the problem. Not only do they install new gutters, they have to remove and discard all the old guttering. Maybe they can pick out a few decent pieces and you can install them.
I'd check out Brad Lancaster's Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond, Volume 2, Rainwater Harvesting Earthworks. It talks about how to store the rain in the ground, with no needed cistern tanks, tubing or collection surface, other than the ground. The book has lots of variations on the theme depending on your particular situation. Brad's website itself has a lot of information.
Though I haven't read them, there are several books out there on rain gardens with probably similar ideas.
Here is a link that might be useful: Harvesting Rainwater Website

This proposal focuses on the science question: How are the characteristics of global precipitation changing in terms of means, variations and extremes, and what is the confidence in our conclusions? Important characteristics of global precipitation (including global and regional means, extremes, variations and trends, and the confidence limits thereof) will be determined by extending, improving and analyzing the 29+ year standard merged precipitation analyses of the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) of the WCRP/GEWEX and other shorter, high quality data sets such as from TRMM. Specifically, this project will: 1) establish the climatology of global precipitation, the mean spatial and seasonal variations, and inter-annual variations, and the uncertainty of these estimates; 2) examine inter-decadal changes and recent (30-year) trends in precipitation (global and regional) and relate these to large-scale forcing (e.g., ENSO, NAO and volcano/aerosol impacts) and variations and trends in surface temperature; 3) develop a climatology of precipitation extremes (and time history of such); and 4) continue to produce, monitor, validate and improve the monthly global, merged GPCP analyses. This project will also actively contribute to the integrated NEWS effort to analyze the full global water cycle as a whole, examining all the relevant observational global data sets (e.g., ocean evaporation, clouds, water vapor, etc.), in conjunction with other investigators, to identify inconsistencies, artifacts and limitations in the data sets and better understand both the means and variations in all the water cycle components. As part of this effort we will derive best estimates of precipitation and confidence limits so that overall water (and energy) balances can be derived.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Fault Lines on the city's homelessness crisis
07 Sep 2011 10:29 GMT | Politics, Environment, Latin America, Brazil, Haiti
Uruguayan President Jose Mujica has apologised to his Haitian counterpart Michel Martelly over the alleged rape of an 18-year-old Haitian man by Uruguayan UN peacekeeping troops in the poor Caribbean state.
Public outrage in Haiti has surged over a video shot by a mobile phone and circulating on the internet that apears to show laughing Uruguayan marines pinning the young Haitian face down on a mattress and apparently sexually assaulting him.
"We apologise for the abuse that some soldiers of my country perpetrated," Mujica wrote in a letter to Martelly on Tuesday.
"Although the damage is irreparable, have the certainty that we will investigate thoroughly and apply the harshest sanctions against those responsible."
Mujica also apologised on behalf of the country's armed forces, which he said were humiliated by "the criminal and embarrassing behaviour by a few" soldiers.
Defence Minister Eleuterio Fernandez Huidobro, who also signed the letter, said earlier that Uruguay would compensate the alleged victim, Johnny Jean.
Jean and his mother, Rose Marie Jean, told Haitian radio stations he had been raped by Uruguayan marines and provided testimony to a judge in the southern town of Port-Salut, where the incident allegedly took place on July 28.
Martelly has said the perpetrators of what he called "a collective rape carried out against a young Haitian" would not go unpunished.
Three investigations
There are now at least three investigations into the video: one by the Haitian authorities; one by the UN Mission in Haiti; and one by Uruguay's defence ministry.The four troops suspected of being involved have been detained and Uruguay's navy has replaced the head of its naval contingent within the UN peacekeeping mission in Haiti, known as MINUSTAH.
In a preliminary report, the UN ruled out that Jean was raped but said blue-helmet peacekeepers broke rules when they allowed a civilian to enter a military camp.
UN peacekeepers in Haiti have faced public anger before, especially over allegations that Nepalese UN troops brought a deadly cholera epidemic to the country after their camp latrines contaminated a local river.
This triggered riots last year against the 12,000-strong UN peacekeeping contingent.
MINUSTAH was established by the UN Security Council in 2004 and headed by Brazil. It has been helping Haiti's short-staffed and ill-equipped police to maintain security in the volatile Caribbean state, especially during elections plagued by fraud and violence.
Brazil said on Tuesday it wantsed to reduce its peacekeeping force, with Celso Amorim, the country's defence minister, telling BBC Brasil that keeping the troops in Haiti will not benefit the country in the long term.
