Report: Apple choosing manufacturers for 'iPhone'
Apple is working on "an iPod with phone functions" and could use Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Hon Hai Precision to build the device, says Johnny Chan, a J.P. Morgan analyst based in Hong Kong. Barron's Online reports [paid sub. req.]: "Apple still hasn't decided whether to give the contract for what's being referred to as an 'iPhone' to Hon Hai or to another manufacturer, says Ellen Tseng, a Morgan Stanley analyst in Taipei. One analyst in Taipei who declined to be identified said Taiwan Green Point Enterprises, which makes plastic cases for the iPod, is in talks with Apple for a role in the phone."
Bill Shope of J.P Morgan believes Apple will introduce the phone by the fourth quarter of this year. Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster told clients last week that he estimates there to be a 75% chance that we'll seen an iPhone in the next 12 months.
Analysts believe that if Apple does come out with a music-playing cell phone, it will likely have the biggest impact on Motorola, the leading cell phone maker in the U.S. "Even a modest showing for an Apple multimedia cellphone could put a dent in Motorola's profits," Barron's says. "If Apple were to grab just 1% of the 900 million phones expected to be sold worldwide this year, it would equal nine million units. At Motorola's average selling price of $147 per handset, it would represent $1.3 billion in missed opportunity."

there are four directions in which the iPod has been rumoured to go:
2. Phone
3. Game
4. Camera
I wonder what is more likely: a) a separate line for each (or at least some) of these, or b) an integration of most of these into one very high end iPod.
Apple has consistently banged the message that the iPod is a music player first so option b) seems less likely. Perhaps an entirely new product (iWalk/iTablet) would enter the picture which does all of these.
I wonder what the market appeal would be for a customizable iPod. You basically choose a basic 5th Gen iPod and then select add-ons: phone (+$100), camera (+$50), etc.

Of the four options, PDA/Phone/Game/Camera, i disagree and think only a phone is a sensible option, even by december's logic.
PDA's are very specific to PDA people, they are not for everyone and most have no use for them. There will never be a time when everyone has a PDA.
Gaming console are specific to gamers, a very large crowd, especially withing the electronic crowd, but not the same as the ipod junkies. To make a gaming unit is to compete on a level that sacrifices the music player.
Cameras are again a tricky thing. You have an ever growing crowd that expects a real camera and would have no need for a half-ass digital camera to replace their fully functional one and the crowd that uses a sub-megapixel cellphone cam that does so out of convenience. Adding a camera would be very expensive or purely a gimmick.
A phone however, phones are bloody everywhere. Over half of the world population has a cell phone, expected to reach nearly 75% in the next decade (I believe that the right statistic…). This is the only of these options that has the broad apeal that say Video has that would make it a sensible choice. Just about everyone who carries an ipod, also carries a phone, why not combine the two. Add bluetooth and my nano hits eBay immediately. I would still keepthe 5G around and all.
Everyone is trying to figure out the next big thing after Video. Until Steve announces the Video iPod, I think analysts are getting ahead of themselves. If Apple is shopping for someone to get into bed with on a phone, it would seem like a phone is a good ways off.
Though customizable options would be a fun idea, the iPod that is just for you. It suits the whole idea behind the iPod.

I think a Camera in the Video iPod is very likely. It doesn't take up much room and doesn't use much power while on. All of Apple's new Macs have an integrated video camera so, plus, I don't see how an iPod could truly be a Video iPOd if it didn't record video as well as play it.
The cell phone seems inevitable but I hope it doesn't contain a camera. This "every cell phone must contain a camera" BS is out of hand. I'd rather have flash RAM or a dental floss dispenser in place of the camera.

I read that Apple has submitted patents for a behind-the-screen camera. In other words a camera that sits behind an LCD screen. I
m not exactly sure how it works, but it would allow for Apple maintain it's seemless nature. Plus, it would be cool to look at the screen in real0time and see, essentially, your reflection.

I would love to see an Ipod camera attachment. I'm not a huge fan of mobile phones but I would like to be able to take pictures when I'm out.
Posted by LC Angell on March 20, 2006 at 11:31 AM (CST)
Video iPod will come to light… very soon. Why is it hard to imagine a Video iPod with phone capabilities? Everything touch screen, and with a video camera attachment (iSight mini). This would also be the first hand held 'Video Phone' that would work as seemlessly as iChat… well… one can dream a little.

I think I read about that somewhere, something to do with picels that can emit and receive light. It sounds pretty interesting, and I would be in full support of such a feature. However, it would only let you take pictures that the screen is facing, and then most of the time you wouldn't actually be able to see the veiwfinder unless you used a mirror at an angle, starts getting complicated!
Also, my iPod video already lets me see my reflection, it has a chrome back! :P

What is it with all the PDA haters?
Seriously, we use iCal, we use Address Book, we brag about how .Mac will keep them all in sync… we sync those to our cell phones and iPods… everyone seems happy about that.
A PDA is basically those functions but the added ability to edit/update that same information while on the go. Seriously, doesn't that make at least a little bit of sense?
I dream of the day where my digital pocket device will have that calendar, address book, phone and music all in one device.
The PDA market is not dead. Carrying your address book and calendar with you is a *very* common need. If you're out and someone wants to schedule an appointment with you… do you write it on a napkin? I'd rather add it to my iCal!
Posted by LC Angell on March 20, 2006 at 2:22 PM (CST)
HAHA ! Apple thinks it has a chance in the phone market with giants such as Nokia, Sony-Ericssion, Samsung,Motorola. LOL Good Die Apple you are the weakest link good bye.
Posted by LC Angell on March 20, 2006 at 5:45 PM (CST)
I think the camera would be really nice to have on a device like an iPod, especially since it has the ability to display photos nicely.
Posted by LC Angell on March 20, 2006 at 5:46 PM (CST)
iPhone? Waste of money.
Posted by LC Angell on March 20, 2006 at 6:35 PM (CST)
for all the people who believe that you can have all your calendar information on a phone, can i ask how do you talk to someone about a meeting when you can't check your available because you're using the device that has your calendar!
Posted by LC Angell on March 21, 2006 at 4:44 AM (CST)
As for a phone I think it's just not to sell the devices, it's to make money in the mobile virtual network market. The devices might be very cheap in price. The will try to make the money via itunes and phone subscriptions.
Posted by LC Angell on March 21, 2006 at 11:08 AM (CST)
News has it that Apple are looking to buy spare network capacity from phone networks.
So they sell you a phone subscription with a discounted iPhone.
You then when you use your phone to download tunes from iTunes which means, depending on how they structure it, could mean you gives apple 3 sources of income in 1 transaction (bandwidth + monthly subscription + sale of tunes)
PDA probably won't happen because it takes from the simplicity of the device which is where its market is.
On another note with regards looking at a calendar while on the phone? People do that all the time. Just stick on loadspeaker and take a look at your calendar. Or just tell them to wait a sec and look it up….

Far from the maddening crowd, Hotel La Catalina is situated on a mountain side with stunning panoramic views of the Atlantic. A peaceful retreat that's easy on the mind and budget, the property is split between condos on one side and hotel rooms on the other. In general, the condo accommodations are larger but don't have a/c. The simple hotel rooms have an all-white motif and a/c. There is a beach shuttle service and one of the closest (a mile away) is gorgeous Orchid
Bay Beach. Amenities include two pools, tennis courts, yoga and conference rooms and full spa services. Courteous, long-term employees are the norm here.

We recently stayed at Hotel La Catalina and were thoroughly impressed. The ocean view from the restaurant is just incredible. Their staff is warm and friendly. We took a two hour horseback riding excursion with Rancho Paraiso and they picked us up on horseback right at the hotel. It was awesome, and we went back two days later for a 3 hour tour! Beautiful horses and great English-speaking guides. The grounds of the hotel are immaculate, and we loved
sitting at the bar having a drink while we watched the sun set over the ocean. We'll definitely be back. The owner is always present checking on how you are doing.

I'm just looking for someone to get to know...
I'm just looking for someone to get to know and spend some time with. Go out and experience different things together. I like to laugh and have fun. I like to watch sports and I'm usually pretty much up for anything. I like to try to stay active by going on hikes through the parks and playing anything sort of sport that I can, including ping pong (its more of a work out than you might think). I really want to take a cooking class even though I think I can cook pretty well right now. I also want to take a photography class at some point as well. I'm looking to get more involved with volunteer work..it's something I did a lot of in college and have kind of lost touch with it. Hopefully I can find someone that would have some interest in doing some of these things with me so I don't have to hang out with my married friends by myself..starting to get a little old. That's about it. Also, I'm a huge Indians fan so I tend to go to about 10 games a year.

Tribe games are a must. I go to Chicago for Halloween & St.Patty's Day every year. Really want to go to Ireland and London at some point.
All-time favorite movie is Road House...epic. I like a lot of shows on FX..It's Always Sunny, Justified. I've recently become a fan of Mad Men as well
I like to try to go to as many Indians games as I can. I'm a huge movie fan and love everything about going to the movies. I like going on hikes through the Metro Parks trails. This might sound nerdy but I recently started playing ping pong again.
Currently reading the Shekinah Legacy...hopefully it's good

White quartz counter; How resistant is it to stains?
I searched forever for my ideal counter, I have a 62" vanity being made and I was looking for a white counter with 2 integral rectangular sinks and a 2" profile...it doesn't exist so my next best option is to have something custom made. This is terrible for me because I have a disorder called 'analysis paralysis' that severely affects my decision making confidence
When searching for inspiration I found a white quartz remnant in stock - bright white like I want and last piece in stock so spontaneously without research I put a hefty deposit on it - The owner assured me that quartz is the hardest counter top option there is.
I tested it by leaving every bathroom product on it for 24 hrs it didn't etch or stain from the toothpaste, nail polish remover and face creams,
My tile setter comes and I showed him the sample I had and mentioned it passed my testing and he says let me see if it passes my test and pulls out a sharpie making a quick scribble - he says he does this test all the time. Well I haven't been able to remove it and my post purchase research reveals that quartz is not resistant to markers and staining as I thought.
This Bathroom is for my kids, a daughter and 3 young boys - 1 of which gets as much marker on his arms as he does on the paper - did I make a mistake? I imagine it's not too late to change as it hasn't been started though I may loose some of the deposit?
Is the sharpie an extreme test?
Is there a way to remove it?
Any ideas on what I can do?
I can speak to white quartz composite (It is the material that the store Roomandboard.com sells as one of the options.) I wanted to buy a kitchen table top with it, but when reading the reviews, some said that it stained and I almost didn't buy it because of that--I have 3 kids, and I can guarantee that they will spill red juice on it.... often. Thankfully, my brother had the same table top from the same place, and has 2 young kids. He said soft scrub gets anything of and that in 3 years, it is not stained at all. So I bought the table, and he was right. Yes, red juice drips will make a mark when you wipe them up, but a tiny dab of soft scrub and they are GONE! (It also works on sharpie marker by the way.....which incidentally finds it's way onto my kitchen table on a weekly basis.
Thanks for your response, you've given me what I hoped to find - someone with kids and still white quartz!
Making final decisions for this bathroom has been soooooo difficult that it's hard when I finally think I have it and something happens or someone says something to cloud my choice.
The sun shines again!!! Thank you
Funny, I am sitting down to type this after soft scrubbing a little pink juice cup ring off my kitchen table ;)
Just wanted to make sure you saw that my experience is with "quartz composite" (It has man made materials mixed in with it.) I can't imagine quartz is that much different, but hope maybe some with solid quartz will weigh in just to be sure!
As a fellow "A/P" sufferer, I can empathize with your quandry :) However, as the parent of 2 small children, I do think the sharpie test is extreme. After all, how often do your kids have free reign with a sharpie? Most of the markers used by kids are washable anyway. Maybe just avoid the bath crayons and markers. But I think it'll be beautiful, and you should go with your gut. Plus you now have the power of soft scrub ;) BTW, we're now going into month 5 for our hallway bath remodel, partially because of my own A/P! So I definitely get it!
Thank you sooo much for your advice!! I'm committed to this stone so passing was more for peace of mind than my decision. I was going to use soft scrub right away but kept pushing it off 'next thing I do after this' over and over - when I finally did it the soft scrub product I used only faded it a little - Really upsetting!
Then I saw the soft scrub gel on the shelf and decided to let it soak a little before scrubbing - when I went back to it the gel had completely dissolved it -, NO SCRUBBING, no etching, and most important NO WORK!!!
My quartz passed the Sharpie test!!!!!!
Thanks Joanne for your tips, they worked - I should know this, but I don't remember the exact composite of my counter - I have for gotten by now - I'll ask again - but that's irrelevant as it works, it really works!!!
Nika, while the sharpie test is extreme I use them all the time and though the house rule is no sharpies for kids, the 3 ft tall picture of a man drawn by my 2 yr old at the side door is evidence that rules w/ 2 yr olds aren't always golden! Mr. clean sponge isn't all that strong compared to a sharpie- hmm maybe I should try the soft scrub? 5 months for a remodel, that's nothing, I have you beat by lots!Way to long to admit in print

Black trim on sisal rug badly faded
I have 3 large sisal rugs trimmed out with black cotton binding. Unfortunately the binding has faded badly, and it looks more like light brown. The only idea I can come up with is to use black fabric paint and use a short paint roller to paint it on. It's less than ideal, that's for sure. Do you have any other ideas? Do you know of a fabric paint that dries "softly", not stiff? Thanks!
Are they indoor rugs? Do you plan to have them for a while? If yes, any large carpet place can redo binding and not terribly expensive. Perhaps you could request a polyester binding that will stand to sunlight better than black cotton. Again, not expensive but moving furniture off rugs, and transporting back & forth probably a huge pain
Thanks for your help. Markers would never work because these are BIG rugs, and I would probably be asphyxiated! I will look for the SoSoft fabric paint. If you have any further ideas on how to tackle this, I'd appreciate it. The rugs are 11X14 and 2 5X8's. Oh am I going to have fun!
At the risk of sounding cavalier with someone else's money, have you priced replacements? IKEA sells sisal rugs with binding that are super cheap. You can also check some of the online sites--Overstock definitely sells these at a big discount. If the rugs are old enough that the binding has faded, maybe it's time to just replace them instead of fussing with a lot of work and/or expense to make the ones you have look like new again.
i had the same thing happen to a rug that gets strong sun coming through the windows... i asked at the rug store if it would fade and he told me it would, and it quickly did! (they're only 1 1/2 yrs old and one side is as you describe) too bad they don't bind with a more sun safe fabric!! i bought it anyway because i liked the rug and the price...
only one side is faded badly and i quickly went over it with a sharpie side to darken it up abit and make the fade less noticeable... i also won't have this rug in the current room much longer, so haven't turned it for more even fade. if you have all the rugs to do entirely, maybe certain fabric paints would be easier but i have never used a fabric paint that i would want to use on the rug tho... i would probably be more tempted to try a watered down acrylic paint myself i think!!
but, sharpies are wonderful fix-its... every home needs a nice selection of sharpies!!

JUNEAU — The office of the federal coordinator for Alaska gas pipeline projects is shutting down after not being included in the budget bill that Congress recently passed.
Federal coordinator Larry Persily said he plans to have the office shut down by the end of February.
JUNEAU — Gov. Bill Walker on Monday submitted a stripped-down capital budget as a starting point for spending discussions amid a bleak revenue forecast.
He also submitted an operating budget for fiscal year 2016 that was developed by his predecessor, former Gov. Sean Parnell, and that Walker has not endorsed.
Monday marked the statutory deadline for Walker to submit budget plans to the Legislature; it also marked two weeks on the job for Walker, who was sworn in on Dec. 1.
JUNEAU — State health commissioner Valerie Davidson said it could be July before the state is in a position to begin enrolling Alaskans under expanded Medicaid coverage.
Davidson said issues need to be worked out with a Medicaid eligibility system as well as with a Medicaid payment system that has been plagued by problems since going live in 2013. Both are being converted from one technology system to another, she said.
JUNEAU — A company that operated a drill ship off Alaska's Arctic coast has agreed to plead guilty to environmental and maritime crimes as part of a deal with prosecutors.
The agreement calls for Noble Drilling U.S. LLC to plead guilty to eight felony counts and pay an $8.2 million fine, plus $4 million in community service payments.
The charges and the agreement, which must be approved by a judge, were made public Monday.
Noble operated the drill ship Noble Discoverer and the drill unit Kulluk in support of efforts by Royal Dutch Shell PLC to drill offshore in 2012.
JUNEAU — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, while a lawsuit is pending, must stop all work related to a process that could restrict or prohibit development of the Pebble Mine, a federal judge says.
The action comes after U.S. District Judge H. Russel Holland last month restrained the EPA from taking any action toward a possible decision to veto a mine project until he ruled on the merits of a lawsuit brought by the group behind the mine, the Pebble Limited Partnership.
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Alaska's new attorney general said he will review issues related to the Alaska National Guard, including ensuring that proper prosecutions were brought for wrongful behavior.
JUNEAU — This week, Bill Walker became the 13th governor of Alaska. Or the 11th. Or 16th. Depends on how you count.
As it turns out, the state of Alaska doesn't appear to have an official way of counting governors and their terms.
Since statehood in 1959, two men, Bill Egan and Wally Hickel, served non-consecutive terms. Three — Egan, Jay Hammond and Tony Knowles — served back-to-back terms.
JUNEAU — In his first speech after taking office, Alaska Gov. Bill Walker said his administration would begin work immediately to expand Medicaid in the state.
Walker took the oath of office Monday in Juneau — becoming the state's first governor not affiliated with a political party — on a Bible that his spokeswoman said had been in his family since the 1800s. He was sworn in, surrounded by family and by Alaska Supreme Court Justice Daniel Winfree, who joked at the end: "You may now kiss the bride."
And Walker did, leaning over to kiss first lady Donna Walker.
JUNEAU — Gov. Bill Walker on Monday announced Valerie Davidson as the new state health commissioner, calling her knowledgeable and passionate about expanding Medicaid in Alaska.
The announcement came during a news conference shortly after Walker was sworn in as governor.
Other appointments announced Monday include Sam Cotten, a former state legislator, as acting Fish and Game commissioner and Marty Rutherford as a deputy Natural Resources commissioner.
JUNEAU — Over the last five years, Gov. Sean Parnell has left his mark on education, oil tax policy and efforts to advance a long-hoped-for natural gas pipeline project. He made the scourge of domestic violence and sexual assault in Alaska part of the public conversation through the "Choose Respect" initiative.
It is a legacy he is proud of, one he hopes endures after he leaves office Monday.
"I really had, and have, a vision of a brighter future for Alaska and articulated that as economic growth and economic opportunity and stronger, safer families," he said.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
MTYP emerging from chaos with head above water
Manitoba Theatre for Young People is on track to record a $150,000-$200,000 operating surplus on a tumultuous season that climaxed with the dismissal of founding artistic director Leslee Silverman earlier this month.
Outgoing executive producer Zaz Bajon is forecasting a surprisingly healthy bottom line given that the organization struggled all season with chronic cash-flow difficulties that caused it to miss payroll, have its Internet access cut for non-payment, garbage service stopped and creditors demanding cash on delivery for supplies.
"This shows that we are moving in the right direction, that this is a viable operation," Bajon said this week about the surplus.
It's obviously not all rosy at MTYP. It's impossible to ignore the elephant in the room, the accumulated deficit. Bank indebtedness has spiked to $1.6 million and the pile of unpaid bills on Bajon's desk demand another $200,000-$300,000.
"Some people are threatening to take us to small claims court," says Bajon, who was the general manager of the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre for 30 years until 2011. "Some people want to get their lawyers involved. I've got all kinds of people who want to be paid. We're getting deeper into the hole."
Bajon is leaving his post after less than a year. He joined MTYP in June 2012 to help the highly regarded but cash-poor organization. His main plan had been to raise $2 million to pay off the accumulated debt and launch an endowment campaign with a goal of $2 million, which would be matched by government funders.
That initiative never got off the ground as a Manitoba Arts Council-installed interim management board carried out a study of the organization.
"We were being studied to death," Bajon says. "What we needed to do was raise money. The longer we waited the worse it would get, in my humble opinion."
The determination of Bajon (pronounced Buy-on) not to spend money the company didn't have earned him the nickname No-buy-on. That frugality and reduced production costs are behind the surplus. It will continue next season when the theatre's budget will fall to $2.2 million, down from $2.5 million, with a smaller seven-show season still being contemplated.
Silverman's sudden firing came before the organization, which has seen a spate of key staff departures, had finalized its 2013-14 season. Since then, Bajon has attempted to gain the rights to plays and hire directors for a list of shows Silverman had intended to produce. The workload became too onerous.
"I'm leaving because I can't take it any more," says Bajon, who predicts his successor faces a three-to five-year job to turn MTYP around. "Last night I was up to two o'clock in the morning tossing and turning about all the things I have to do. I've realized that I've bitten off more than I can chew."
The troubles at MTYP, which ends its season with the final performance of Zoozoo on Sunday, are not unusual for young people's theatres across Canada. Several companies are hurting financially and the measures it can take to change that are limited. MTYP has never had a deep-pocketed benefactor to come to its rescue in times of economic crisis and corporate support was spotty right from the time money was solicited to build MTYP's distinctive $5.2-million home at The Forks, which opened in 1999.
Mavis Reimer was the MTYP board president in the late 1990s and did her share of door-knocking at city businesses. She found her pitch included much education about what MTYP is and what it contributes to the community. Often she was told MTYP was a second-tier company.
"It is not as prestigious to be associated with a children's theatre as it is with an opera company or symphony," says Reimer, a University of Winnipeg English professor and Canada Research Chair of Young People's Text and Cultures. "These are much more visible markers of high culture."
Many would suggest that Winnipeg has a thriving cultural scene due to MTYP's grassroots development of future arts consumers. Reimer says that MTYP is an amazing accomplishment and speaks to Winnipeg's distinct culture.
"Maybe there's a need for another round of public education as to what we have in the city at The Forks and why we should want to fight to keep it," she said.

(98% shiraz and 2% cabernet sauvignon): Inky ruby. Intense spice- and mineral-accented aromas of cherry pit, blackberry and plum, with smoke and floral qualities adding complexity. Taut and linear on entry, then fleshier in the mid-palate, offering zesty dark fruit and violet pastille flavors and hints of licorice and vanilla. Finishes smoky, spicy and very long, with youthfully firm, building tannins adding grip. In a relatively taut, wound-up style for this wine; by all means give it some age.Author: Josh Raynolds

The New American Cold War
The real US policy has been very different--a relentless, winner-take-all exploitation of Russia's post-1991 weakness. Accompanied by broken American promises, condescending lectures and demands for unilateral concessions, it has been even more aggressive and uncompromising than was Washington's approach to Soviet Communist Russia. Consider its defining elements as they have unfolded--with fulsome support in both American political parties, influential newspapers and policy think tanks--since the early 1990s:
§ A growing military encirclement of Russia, on and near its borders, by US and NATO bases, which are already ensconced or being planned in at least half the fourteen other former Soviet republics, from the Baltics and Ukraine to Georgia, Azerbaijan and the new states of Central Asia. The result is a US-built reverse iron curtain and the remilitarization of American-Russian relations.
§ A tacit (and closely related) US denial that Russia has any legitimate national interests outside its own territory, even in ethnically akin or contiguous former republics such as Ukraine, Belarus and Georgia. How else to explain, to take a bellwether example, the thinking of Richard Holbrooke, Democratic would-be Secretary of State? While roundly condemning the Kremlin for promoting a pro-Moscow government in neighboring Ukraine, where Russia has centuries of shared linguistic, marital, religious, economic and security ties, Holbrooke declares that far-away Slav nation part of "our core zone of security."
§ Even more, a presumption that Russia does not have full sovereignty within its own borders, as expressed by constant US interventions in Moscow's internal affairs since 1992. They have included an on-site crusade by swarms of American "advisers," particularly during the 1990s, to direct Russia's "transition" from Communism; endless missionary sermons from afar, often couched in threats, on how that nation should and should not organize its political and economic systems; and active support for Russian anti-Kremlin groups, some associated with hated Yeltsin-era oligarchs.
That interventionary impulse has now grown even into suggestions that Putin be overthrown by the kind of US-backed "color revolutions" carried out since 2003 in Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan, and attempted this year in Belarus. Thus, while mainstream editorial pages increasingly call the Russian president "thug," "fascist" and "Saddam Hussein," one of the Carnegie Endowment's several Washington crusaders assures us of "Putin's weakness" and vulnerability to "regime change." (Do proponents of "democratic regime change" in Russia care that it might mean destabilizing a nuclear state?)
§ Underpinning these components of the real US policy are familiar cold war double standards condemning Moscow for doing what Washington does--such as seeking allies and military bases in former Soviet republics, using its assets (oil and gas in Russia's case) as aid to friendly governments and regulating foreign money in its political life.
More broadly, when NATO expands to Russia's front and back doorsteps, gobbling up former Soviet-bloc members and republics, it is "fighting terrorism" and "protecting new states"; when Moscow protests, it is engaging in "cold war thinking." When Washington meddles in the politics of Georgia and Ukraine, it is "promoting democracy"; when the Kremlin does so, it is "neoimperialism." And not to forget the historical background: When in the 1990s the US-supported Yeltsin overthrew Russia's elected Parliament and Constitutional Court by force, gave its national wealth and television networks to Kremlin insiders, imposed a constitution without real constraints on executive power and rigged elections, it was "democratic reform"; when Putin continues that process, it is "authoritarianism."
§ Finally, the United States is attempting, by exploiting Russia's weakness, to acquire the nuclear superiority it could not achieve during the Soviet era. That is the essential meaning of two major steps taken by the Bush Administration in 2002, both against Moscow's strong wishes. One was the Administration's unilateral withdrawal from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, freeing it to try to create a system capable of destroying incoming missiles and thereby the capacity to launch a nuclear first strike without fear of retaliation. The other was pressuring the Kremlin to sign an ultimately empty nuclear weapons reduction agreement requiring no actual destruction of weapons and indeed allowing development of new ones; providing for no verification; and permitting unilateral withdrawal before the specified reductions are required.
