Financial stocks, which used to be great dividend investments, have had their share of troubles over the past two years. The sector has rebounded sharply since hitting its lows in March. Since the major dividend growth stories of the past such as Bank of America (BAC) and US Bancorp (USB) have cut dividends, most dividend growth investors seem to have a very low allocation to the sector. As a result dividend investors could suffer inferior risk adjusted returns in the future since they won't own any financial stocks.
There are several alternatives for investors who are underweight the financial sector right now. One of them involves purchasing shares in some of US insurance companies such as Aflac (AFL) or Chubb (CB), which offer decent yields and have a long history of dependable dividend growth.
Another alternative is buying shares in the five major Canadian banks, which seem to have escaped the financial meltdown. While none of them have increased their dividends in over one year, they have not cut them either. In addition to that major Canadian banks spot very decent yields as well. It is important to check individual payout ratios in order to gauge the sustainability of the dividend payments. The major Canadian banks include
Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) , Bank of Montreal (BMO), Royal Bank of Canada (RY), Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) and Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS).
Buying Preferred stocks could also be a decent bet on the long recovery of US financial institutions. Preferred shares have a higher ranking than ordinary shares in the event of a bankruptcy, but a lower priority relative to bonds. Preferred stocks do not have voting rights but have a fixed dividend payment, just like a bond. Preferred stockholders are also first in line to receive dividend payments, which are typically fixed. They don't typically get to share in the prosperity of the enterprise however as preferred stock dividends do not increase. In tough economic conditions however, preferred stock dividends are much less likely to be cut or suspended; as long as the company continues operating as a going concern preferred stock dividends continue getting paid. In addition to that if you buy a cumulative preferred stock, the company is obligated to pay distributions to you even if it skips a few payments. That is of course as long as the company is not bankrupt. These two ETFs PFF and PGF are good vehicles to gain exposure to preferred stocks. Most of the issues they hold are in the financial sector.
Some investors also believe that the major US financial institutions would one day return to their former glory. This could mean that companies like Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C) and US Bancorp (USB) could yield very decent returns if they were to increase distributions to their 2007 levels. This option of getting exposure to financials is the riskiest of all, since most of the TARPed financial institutions are already paying billions in dividends to the Treasury every year. In addition to that the Treasury and other strategic investors might elect to convert their preferred stock into common, which would dilute existing shareholders. Last but not least it is very difficult to forecast how the US banking industry would look like a few years from now. Just because a bank survives the meltdown, does not mean it would be a solid long-term investment.
The strong gains off the March lows have definitely pushed financial stocks in overbought territory. Thus, if you believe that owning US banks provides you with the best exposure to the US financial sector, you might consider waiting to buy them on pullbacks.
These options could either be used on a standalone basis or in a combination. As a dividend growth investor I currently own mostly insurers and have a position in one of the Canadian banks. I might add to my Canadian exposure, which also provides international diversification for my portfolio.

Energy Reduction for STT-RAM Using Early Write Termination
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The emerging Spin Torque Transfer memory (STT-RAM) is a promising candidate for future on-chip caches due to STT-RAM's high density, low leakage, long endurance and high access speed. However, one of the major challenges of STT-RAM is its high write current, which is disadvantageous when used as an on-chip cache since the dynamic power generated is too high. In this paper, the authors propose Early Write Termination (EWT), a novel technique to significantly reduce write energy with no performance penalty. EWT can be implemented with low complexity and low energy overhead.

New furnace
I am in the process of getting quotes for a new furnace. I have been looking at the Carrier Infinity 96 , Armstrong 95, and Airease 95v. All are 2 stage operation. Any thoughts on either furnace? Thank you for any help.
The Carrier Infinity is the best furnace from one of the best brands. I believe Armstrong and Airease are brands made by Lennox. These are considered second tier brands. The component and build quality would not be the same as the Carrier Infinity models.
The installation of the furnace is very important. A top of the line furnace will have problems if it is sized and installed incorrectly. Choose the contractor carefully and be suspicious of the lowest bidder.
If the heat exchanger has a lifetime parts warranty, then I don't think you should be concerned. Carrier uses an aluminized steel for the primary exchanger. There was a period of time when Carrier furnaces had heat exchanger failures. They must believe there material is better than stainless steel.

Examples of Male and Female Squash Blossoms
There have been a few questions lately on what to look for in a blossom to hand pollinate. I thought I'd share a few pictures I have, showing the difference in them.
Here is a Yellow Squash.
The squash with the blossom on it (to the right) is the "female". If you look to the left and down a little, you will see the male, it's just the flower. The squash, melons, and gourds, will form a small fruit before the flower opens, the male will be just a flower.
Here is a small female in between 2 male flowers. And to the left, a larger male flower.
This is just a male flower on my Spaghetti squash.
And here is a little squash/ female of the Spaghetti. The funny background is my "dead" garden tools, grave yard. lol...
This is a new zucchini squash i'm trying , a ball shape. If you look close , you will see a male flower to each side of the little squash.
2 male flowers to the left.
And just for fun, Twins! lol...
These flowers started out one stem, and branched at the end to be 2 flowers joined.
I've never seen one like this.
I will try and get some pictures of blooming flowers. I get busy and don't always get out early enough. ;-)
To hand pollinate, I simply peel back the petals on the male flower, and gently rub the stamen in the female flower.
The trick is to have 2 open at the same time! :-) and you need to get out early , the blooms don't last long.
HI Terry,
Great picture! Thanks for adding it! Carving or pie? :-) I didn't get any pumpkin in yet, I may still try one or 2 of the 'baby boo' for the kids for Halloween.
I know a few years ago my gourds were not doing well, and hand pollinating was a little confusing at first, so I hope these pictures help some who are new at it.
Three of my female flowers opened today but not the males can I still pull off the outside and use them to pollinate the females? I was really sad I have been waiting all week running out at the crack of dawn then finally on mothers day they opened only to be let down by the men, lol.

Surf's up in Lebanon: Internet speeds increase dramatically
A Telecommunications Ministry report issued Friday said Internet connection speed in Lebanon has significantly increased between June 2011 and June 2012. "[Telecom Ministry] initiatives have started to bear results.
[Internet connection] Speed has improved by 15 and 18 times on the fixed-line and mobile networks respectively," said Telecoms Minister Nicolas Sehnaoui in the introduction of the report dubbed "One Year Progress Report June 2011-June 2012."
"International connectivity has increased 11 times and will soon be redundant with the purchase of an 800 Gbps [Gigabyte per second] capacity on the Alexandaros submarine cable," the minister added. The report said submarine cable capacity increased 11 times to reach 33 Gbps up from 3 Gbps a year ago.
The report said Internet prices for companies and private individuals have decreased by 80 percent as the number of DSL and mobile broadband subscribers has risen 20 percent and 158 percent respectively.
Mobile service prices decreased by 40 percent between June 2011 and June 2012. It added that 4th generation mobile networks are ready for deployment. "The new network is 4G-ready.
When the decision is taken to move 4G, it will be sufficient to modify the cards of existing antennas.
"The Lebanese were greatly enthusiastic about 3G; in 11 months, the number of users increased by 158 percent to reach more than 722,000 subscribers in May 2012," the report said.
The report puts forward the ministry's vision for the sector, highlighting the importance of ensuring an abundant international connectivity, establishing rules for transparent and fair competition, and making Lebanon an attractive place for international investments in the telecoms sector.

If An Embargo Breaks In the Woods, Does Anybody Hear It Fall?
Embargoes. If you're a science or medical writer, you can't live with 'em and can't live without 'em.
Science can be tricky to explain, so it's commonplace for academic journals and medical societies to give journalists time to report on studies before they're made public.
Good idea? Well, not everybody is sold on it. Some say embargoes breed journalistic dependency and laziness. At a conference in London last year, Lancet editor Richard Horton slammed reporters for allowing the academic PR machine to steamroll them. "You've sold your soul to publicity masquerading as science," he said, according to blogger Ed Yong. Embargoes, Horton said, hand power over to journals.
Well, he ought to know.
We've seen a lot more testiness recently over what's a valid embargo and what's not, such as the handling of government data showing an increase in the prevalence of autism.
Now Ivan Oransky, whose day job is executive editor of Reuters Health, is blogging about embargo controversies at Embargo Watch. Oransky's a pal of ours, but we'd say this is good stuff, even if he wasn't.
Take a look at the post about two journalists blackballed by JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association. Or this one featuring a delightful though salty video portraying a chat between a journalist and PR person over a tech story.
We're not sure how Oransky finds the time to do this, but we're glad he does. As to why he's blogging about it, he writes:
My hope is that by chronicling these stories and trends, I can help make embargoes work better. For some... that may mean doing away with them. For others, it may mean refining them.
Update: Even when the going gets sticky, Embargo Watch sticks with it. Oransky just posted about Reuters breaking an embargo and getting punished by the American Heart Association.

Edward, Emmett and Jasper at the strip club.
What they did for Edward's bachelor party.
"You told Bella your not taking me to a strip club" I growled at Emmett and Jasper.
"Well, we lied, and don't act like you didn't know. You were reading our thoughts all the time" Emmett laughed
"And calm down your like a turkey on thanks giving morning- I got that from Charlie." Jasper said peacefully and we all calmed down a little.
"Yeah sure Jazz, and how are you planning on controlling your hormones and your thirst, bearing in mind that you hunted three weeks ago. Now you want a dozen half naked girls dancing on your lap," I growled, heck am I the only one that's responsible around here.
"Calm down Edward, it was Emmett's idea and it's your last night of freedom" Carlisle was with them on this. Emmett and Jasper had already made bets on how long I would last in the strip club. Emmett is betting high, Jasper is saying that I would not last an hour.
We stopped outside Lollipop Lounge. I could already hear the perverted thoughts of people hoping to get lucky. Emmett got out of the front seat and Jazz and I got out the back. Carlisle stayed in the car.
"Why don't you come with Carlisle? I'm sure Esme won't mind." Emmett asked
"Um, um," Carlisle searched his mind for a good excuse "I have to help Esme revamp."
"What? Your bedroom?" Emmett laughed and slammed the door closed. I heard Carlisle silently sighing. It's amazing through how much we put him through, and he still loves us. And the black car was gone.
"Well, Edward are you going to come or are we going to ripe your legs off for you to go in?"
"I like my legs thank you Jazz" Bella isn't going to like this.
We walked to the door and saw Mike Newton and Eric standing outside too scared to go in, although they really wanted to. We got to the door and a man welcomed us. He looked gay, but is that just my opinion. He smiled at us, yes for definitely gay.
"Welcome gentlemen, I offer a wide range of services, what can I get you gentlemen?" I'll do anything for the big one he adds in his head.
"We want to see pole dancing and my brothers and I" Emmett gestured to Jasper and me "want lap dances."
"Our best girls are in tonight" I'm also good if the big one wants one from me "who would you like. I've got Tara, Paris, the twins…"
"I want them all!" Emmett simply said, " Why pick when you can have them all."
"Wow, can you handle that?"
"Don't you think I have the balls for it?" Emmett frowned
"Sure" I know you have the balls big boy "go ahead and have fun. Let me know if there is anything you want" Unfortunately I picked up the double meaning in that statement.
We walked into the club to see a stage with poles from the roof coming down and topless girls swinging on them. There was a bunch of chairs on one side and a table on the other side of the room. The club was rather empty; it was just the gay owner, the five stripers and us. I was frozen in place and I couldn't move.
"Close your mouth Edward, you don't want anything from here flying in." Emmett suggested.
"People are not going to believe this, I have to get this on camera" and Jasper got his cellphone out of is pocket and started filming.
Emmett dragged me to a chair and made me sit down "now be a good boy Eddy and sit here"
"Bella is going to freak when she finds out"
"She is not going to find out, trust me. Jasper will you stop filming this?"
"Hell no man. I'm going to use this at their next wedding." And he pointed the camera straight at us. This is going to be black mail for the next two centuries
A dancer wearing bunny ears walked to us as Lady Gaga's Love game started to play. She walked straight towards the chair wear I was sitting. Three other girls joined her. Emmett left me and went to watch the pole dancing. Jasper was running around trying to film Emmett and me at the same time. The girls started to move their bodies to the beat of the song. Next thing I know, the girl with the bunny ears is on my lap, all their thoughts were un-interpretable. Jasper as could be predicted was already running around without a shirt and the song wasn't even at the bridge. The girls were all over me. I tried very hard to block out the thoughts and fantasies in this.
La la la la la la la la la not even singing to myself in my head helped.
Holy crap! What the hell is Emmett doing on the table? Dancing? With the striper? Without clothes? In his g-string? At least he had he's that on. Well it looks as if the gay guy was enjoying the show. The striper stopped and turned to Emmett.
"Get off my stage! Ladies night is Thursday, its Wednesday if you forgot" she screeched.
"I couldn't help myself," Emmett said and he gathered his clothes. As soon as he had his pants on gain he walked to Jasper and me who was filming all the action in his boxers. "Ladies go easy on my brother here, he's still a virgin" he's been one for the past hundred and ten years.
"Speaking of virgins my virgin ears can't handle it, I'm leaving" and I got up. The dancers backed away.
"To do what? Oh yeah, to watch Bella sleep. Lots of action, your bound to get luck aren't you?" Emmett asked and he quickly left that boy needs some rope. Yeah rope.
"Oh no"
"Where is he going, Edward?"
Emmett came back not with rope but with chain and a lock, oh and don't forget the fluffy pair of handcuffs "Now you have to stay." Emmett laughed. He chained me to the chair and pulled my pants and shirt off and left me in my boxers. "I am not loosing this bet Edward. Have fun Ladies, he's not going anywhere, are you Edward?" he said pinching my cheek. Jasper thought it was really funny and caught every moment on camera. The girls got back to business as if they were never interrupted.
Jasper was down to his underpants. I hope that he didn't take anything else off. Emmett was dancing around in his g-string again. I was relived that I had a girl's butt in my face because I real didn't want to see Jaspers butt in my face with a camera.
"I AM GOING TO KILL JASPER! THIS IS NOT HAPPENING! IF WHAT I SAW IS TRUE. HE WONT HAVE A HEAD LEFT!" Alice is on her way
"IF YOU THINK JASPERS GOING TO GET IT, YOU SHOULD WATCH WHAT IM GOING TO DO TO EMMETT!" and so is Rosalie and they are mad
Shock crossed Jasper and Emmett's faces. I guess they heard what I heard. This was not going to look good. Emmett is in his g-string, jasper in his boxers and me in my boxers tied to a chair. Emmett and jasper made a run for it and tried to hide under the table -idiots, as if that will help.
"Oh right forget me!" I yelled, "Get off of me you whore!" and the dancers got the message and hurried away. "Let us in you faggot, our husbands are in there!" Rose shouted at the owner. They were at the door already
"I'm a sorry ma'am lady night is tomorrow, I can't let you in."
"Forget it!" and Alice pushed past the gay man into the club.
"Alice! Rose! I'm here," I shouted as soon as they were both in the club. All the people got the hint that they should go away and leave us alone.
They hurried to my side and broke the chains and the fluffy pink handcuffs. "Thanks" but they were already at the table.
"I'm counting till three and if you are not out from under the table you won't have a head," Rosalie growled
"Jasper, do something. Calm them down." Emmett mumbled
"What do you think I'm doing? Why do you think we still have heads?" Jasper said as he and Emmett crawled out under the table with their clothes and Jaspers phone under their arms.
Rosalie is going to rip me to pieces. She's going to think that her lap dances aren't good enough Emmett thought
Oh shit, oh shit I must delete the video. Oh shit, oh shit, Alice is going to kill me. Oh shit, oh shit.
Alice snatched the phone. She and Rosalie watched the video. Their eyes widened as they watched.
Oh shit, oh shit.
They gave the phone back to Jasper. "Delete it. Bella will not find out about this." Alice said and for once I agreed with my pixie sister.
Jasper took the phone and pressed a few buttons. "Um… Guys… I'm sorry. Edward… Um"
"Spit it out Jasper!" Alice read my mind.
"I didn't mean to, it was an accident…" he didn't get to finish sentence. I knew what he had done.
He had sent the video to Bella. I was out the door in a hundredth of a second. Was I going to be in time to explain to her what had happened? Was she going to be angry? Yes she was going to be. Maybe I could get to the phone before she does. Maybe she won't get it because she will be sleeping. Maybe the network will be slow. Maybe she will let me explain. I couldn't stop thinking about this as I ran. I turned into her street, I was outside her window and it was open. Great she got the video. I jumped into her room through the window.
As I looked up I saw her sitting on her bed waiting for me with her cellphone next to her. She looked really angry.
"I can explain..." I started
"I should hope so. Its not everyday that I get a video from Jasper that shows my fiancé being on the receiving end of a lap dance."
"They dragged me there, and I wanted to leave but they tied me to a chair… oh I'm sorry Bella, please don't be angry with me" I pleaded
"Edward I'm not mad at you" she leaned forward and kissed me. That's Bella, you never know what to expect. "I wont get mad, I'll just get even."

Party Street
Khao San road is a Bangkok institution. A backpapers paradise, a clubs and drinks magnet plus a load of street life, food stalls and shops selling pretty much everything. While its great here all day, once night falls it really kicks off. A must do when in Bangkok.
- Budget Travel
- Backpacking
Barrio de los mochileros- Backpackers area
La zona de khao San, esta llena de vida con sus puestos callejeros, tiendas, agencias de viajes, cafeterias y especialmente la cantidad de gente variopinta que pulula por sus calles
Aqui parece que todo el mundo esta a tu alcance
Khao San is full of life with the street stalls , shops, travel agencies, cofee shops and spetially the big number of so different people that mills around the streets
Here it seems that the hole world is in your hands
The infamous Ko San Road
Ok so yes everyone goes there, but why not. It may be overcrowded and ridiculously western but its worth a visit. The atmosphere is very exciting, and if you need to dip your toes in the shallow end first, ko san road can be a welcoming experience before you set out on some more serious travelling in thailand. The road is just full of guesthouses shops and restaurants and market stall spilling out onto the road. There are some nicer side streets radiating from ko san that are definetly worth the time getting to.
- Backpacking
Khao San Rd.
I think Khao San Rd. is famous by Leonardo DiCaprio of The Beach. Here has everything that you expects to find. Try the local foods, a great experience you will never forget. You can also find some cheap guesthouse at a budget.
- Backpacking
Khaosan Road
Khaosan Road. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.
I have a love/hate relationship with Khaosan Road. On the one hand you have to love the place because it has all of the amenities that you need as a traveller. There are cheap places to sleep both on the street and in the adjacent streets. There are cheap internet places, plenty of decent travel agencies, and places to buy toiletries. It is also a decent place to find Western food if Asian food doesn't suit your palate.
It is exactly for the above reasons that I hate the place. It is a backpacker ghetto. I don't want to eat Western food most of the time so that doesn't interest me. The street is occupied mostly by foreigners who have only a passing interest in Thai culture and the local Thais are mostly only trying to make a buck out of you.
Overall though Khaosan is a good place. It is central to most of the main tourist sites and is a lively place. Even backpacker culture is interesting to watch. Heck, even the Thais come on down to watch the gong show.

Great Value for Money...Khao San Road
For those on a tight budget, suggest you stay in Khao San (or Banglumpoo Area).
You will find many guest houses, motels, and inns at a very low cost. Also food can easily be found (try the street stall Pad Thai for only 10.00 Baht - approximately 50 cents!) and some are open 24 hours.
Entertainment can be found along Khao San Road, ranging from beer bars to discos (check out Susie Pub and Austin along Khao San Rd. & Bangkok Bar, also in the Banglumpoo Area - not on Khao San Rd., but walking distance ).

- School Holidays

Kao San Road
Koa San Road is in the heart of banglampu, and the heart of the backpacking district. With easy access to all the major temples being only a short walk away. Along the sides of the streets you can buy "designer" goods, the latest releases in DVD's and VCD's and a large number of bars, and food vendors. A number of different types of hotel are around, from the more exclusive Buddy Lodge with its private pool, to the cheapest of the cheap hostels at 60 baht a person.
TIP: Try the fried bugs, or the thai noodle soups.... yum! hehe

Beehive of Activity
If you like to people-watch, this is a great place to do it. Only draw back is, you have to sit in the heat but, it's a small price to pay to watch the world go by. Just make sure you have a cold drink to keep you company.
This is also a great place to get some cheap eats.

Everything a backpacker needs.....
Khao San Road is the hub for budget travel around Thailand. Everything a backpacker needs is here. Several travel agents, cheap accomodation, bars, ripped cds and dvd for sale, and other travelers to meet. The beaches are my first pick in Thailand so I wouldn't spend a long time here, but if you're traveling around the rest of SE Asia, then you'll probably be hanging around waiting for your visa in this area.
If you're not a fan of hundreds of other backpackers then avoid this area. Access to the Chao Phraya river and buses. You are in walking distance to the Grand Palace and Wat Po.
If you've made friends around Thailand, you will probably run into them again on Khao San!

KHAO SAN ROAD: Backpackers...
KHAO SAN ROAD: Backpackers street- Here with Nir the last time we were on the street together.
Cheap pad thai, art students selling unique pieces on the street, typical souvenier shopping in the shops lining the street, some good restaurants, cheapest place to find bargain flights
A lot of pubs and some shops to buy things
It is special as you can find a lot of farang there and a lot of pubs without the bar girls inside:) The food there is reasonably priced and you can see a lot of guesthouses offering cheap accommodation.
Chilling out
the atmosphere is fantastic! good mix of foreigners and locals. Great for fisherman pants shopping and braiding/dreadlocking of hair. If you just wanna drink beer and chill, this's the place to be at. Shopaholics get to do their shopping as well. Cheap and good accomodation..

Luna was there in my dream, a kitten and waiting. The viewer was looking at the night sky, looking down with the falling snow. Down and down until cold streetlights shaped like giant Ms with very rounded tops, two fuzzy fires at the ends. Silent. All the way down to the white ground and you saw Luna, but her ears were giant and just like the lamps, and her head was cocked to the side and inquisitive. Then some sad quiet music. The viewer is walking away backwards and Luna doesn't move, doesn't look anywhere else.

They have been doing this for years.these are easily the best camps of the season. overdyed black is tied with the purple logo one as my fav. that purple logo one looks like something they would have done years ago.I'm a little confused on the far left one; is it just a black camp that's packaged with the camo drop?
Think this happened s/s14 with another camo set.

The United States is not in charge of international war and peace.
The British-Pakistani historian, activist and editor of the New Left Review says that without publicly available evidence, Barack Obama's claim that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons against civilians and rebels is "totally unconvincing."

When the U.S. initially invaded Afghanistan, the terms "women's rights" and "protection" were thrown around as justification for war. More than a decade later, it's clear little has been done to promote women's rights in Afghanistan, and the conditions created by military intervention have only worsened the prospects for equality.
The GOP is inadvertently pushing the U.S. into a posture of dangerous diplomatic weakness. This weakness is clear in the unprecedented closing of 21 U.S. embassies in the Middle East this weekend because of a vague terrorist threat apparently emanating from "al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula," based in Yemen.
Bradley Manning will be sentenced on Wednesday, having been found guilty of 20 counts on Tuesday, including espionage. Whatever one thinks of Manning's actions, that we deserved to know some of what he revealed and that his revelations changed the world are undeniable.

"As a journalist, no one tells you something because they like the look of your face, generally," the Independent reporter told Truthdig in an exclusive interview. "They tell you to further their own interests or the interests of their party."

The unforeseen consequences of American Middle Eastern policy since the Second World War are now making themselves apparent.

Palestinian and Israeli peace negotiators have given themselves a nine-month deadline to reach a deal.
Rachid Wahbi came to Syria from a Spanish slum, rushing toward death. And he didn't plan to die alone. Wahbi killed 130 people in that suicide bombing on the al-Nairab military base in northern Syria on June 1 of last year, according to Spanish authorities. And the numbers get grimmer.
The investigative reporter slammed the Obama administration Thursday for the role he says it played in the continued detention of Abdulelah Haider Shaye, a prominent Yemeni journalist who was the first to expose an American cruise missile strike that killed dozens of civilians.

Hundreds of inmates are still free in Iraq after they escaped from two jails, including the infamous Abu Ghraib, following a series of military-style attacks that left at least 20 dead. A senior Iraqi official says that many of the 500 prisoners who escaped from Abu Ghraib were senior members of al-Qaida and had been sentenced to death.

A week after the Egyptian military removed President Mohamed Morsi from power, police are back on the streets, there's no longer a shortage of fuel and the power is consistently on, all of which have raised questions among his supporters over whether Morsi's opponents conspired against him while he was in office.

In Syria, the Obama administration seems to be stumbling back to the future: An old-fashioned proxy war, complete with the usual shadowy CIA arms-running operation, the traditional plan to prop up ostensible "moderates" whose prospects are doubtful and, of course, the customary shaky grasp of what the fighting is really about.
Patrick Chappatte, Cagle Cartoons, The International Herald Tribune —
A note that Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is said to have left on an interior wall of the boat where police found him after the April 15 attacks claimed responsibility for the bombings and described them as retribution for the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, saying the Boston dead were "collateral damage" in the same way Muslims are in the American-led conflicts.
Friday night on Bill Maher's "Real Time," Guardian columnist and former civil rights litigator Glenn Greenwald attacked the view that Islam is a "uniquely" threatening force in the world and that Muslims should be deprived of the benefits of the classical liberal values that many groups in the West have struggled to make into policy since the 18th-century Enlightenment.

After Roman legions invaded Egypt, during one of the battles waged by Julius Caesar against the brother of Cleopatra, fire devoured most of the thousands upon thousands of papyrus scrolls in the Library of Alexandria. A pair of millennia later, during George W. Bush's crusade against an imaginary enemy in Iraq, most of the books in the Library of Baghdad were reduced to ashes.

To broker a great peace in the Middle East, the president will have to mollify both the center-left and the right in Israel, balance Israeli and Palestinian demands, march with Netanyahu up to the edge of war with Iran, calibrate the ratcheting up of sanctions on Iran, and prevent the Syrian civil war from spilling into Israel, all while maintaining order between the left and right at home.

Consider the plethora of blood-soaked little anniversaries that Americans could observe, if they cared to, from a decade-plus of the former Global War on Terror.

The administration has set expectations for President Obama's trip to Israel so low you'd think he was making another visit to Ohio. Yet this is a very consequential journey because it comes at a moment when hopes for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are fading away.
This certainly is not the best of times, nor can it be called the worst of recent times, considering the years of totalitarianism, war and cold war the world lived through in the 20th century, recently closed. But the years since 2000 have provided no auspicious start to the 21st century.

Paul's strand of libertarianism, insofar as it deeply distrusts big government, typically opposes policies that increase the size and power of government, chief among them ones pertaining to war.
The Guardian has released a full-length documentary on the ties between "dirty wars" veteran and retired Col. James Steele, who played a crucial role in setting up and overseeing a network of detention and torture centers in Iraq that committed some of the worst acts of torture, and the top brass at the Pentagon.
Governments in the Middle East and across the world are exploiting the long chaos of Syria's populist uprising to gain influence in the region. And Syrians—70,000 of whom have been killed in the conflict—are paying the price with their bodies and lives.

Sirens Of Isolationism
"O Tay Mr Peabody! Set the dial on the Way Back Machine to 1911!"
Prob the best descrip of the recent GOP Debatery that CNN King Grunting Guy kept grunting through (yeah – it was kinda gross)
"…Mitt Romney sounded not so terribly different from Obama on Afghanistan, with the crucial difference that he wants out faster. Michele Bachmann and virtually all of them thundered that we had no need to be involved in Libya, least of all by playing second fiddle to France (a few things don't change). Ron Paul peddled his predictable isolationist wares, and he did so to a rather robust round of applause.
"…Their message with respect to America and the world (except from Rick Santorum, who mounted a lonely defense of our worldwide military presence) was that we should just stay home and forget about it.
Yeah. Right! Such underwhelming shortsightedness may also magnetically draw in l'stache' grand – and then feckless Foreign Policy GOPeabodies will have there hands full!
"Country First" is seductive – no doubt – yet any campaign promises or speeches will get mugged by reality.
See – thing is – as the world's only hyperpuissant – uniquely powerful – the only one of her kind – ever – Great Satan is the indispensable nation. She alone strikes out on a globestomping scale to correct uncool behavior, rescue the perishing and care for the dying.
Regardless of the tempting temptationing sirens song of isolationism (often risibly camouflaged as something something "Off Shore Balancing") – Great Satan essentially cannot abandon the world she herself hath wrought - no matter how refreshing a vacation holiday sounds.
Just like Spider – Man, with all this great power came great responsibilities. It's a fact Jack – whether sought after, wanted, welcomed or not.
A lot like the armies of attention attracting sporty shorties at the mall that demand, deflect and encouragingly discourage players.
And, just like those delightfully assetted little hottie drama magnets, Great Satan will find opportunities to use it – or the world will discover opportunities for Great Satan to use it.
