Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon

US President Barack Obama has asked a team led by Vice President Joe Biden to offer "concrete proposals" to curb gun violence no later than January, following the killing of 26 people at a Connecticut primary school last week.
Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, Obama said he would push legislation "without delay" after he received the recommendations.
He urged the US Congress to hold votes on the bill soon after it is proposed.
Obama said the issue of gun control was complex but that "if there is even one thing that we can do to prevent [shootings such as the Connecticut attack], we have a deep obligation - all of us - to try".
He said meaningful action needed to be taken to curb an "epidemic of gun violence that plagues this nation every single day".
"The fact that this problem is complex can no longer be an excuse for doing nothing," he said.
Biden, a longtime gun-control advocate, will lead a team that will include members of Obama's administration and outside groups.
'Weapons of war'
Obama specifically mentioned that he felt it is currently too easy for people with mental instabilities to purchase assault weapons, which he referred to as "weapons of war". He also said action needs to be taken to close a loophole that allows sales to be made at gun shows without proper background checks.
The president cited as a model for the new legislation a previous ten-year ban on assault weapons - military-style semi-automatics - that Congress allowed to expire in 2004.
Notably, he said that he respected every US citizen's right to bear arms, but that there needed to be measures in place to ensure that only those who would use their guns "responsibly" would be allowed to purchase them.
"Look, like the majority of Americans, I believe that the second amendment guarantees an individual a right to bear arms," he said. "This country has a strong tradition of gun ownership handed down from generation to generation."
His comments come after twenty children and six adults were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown last Friday by a man wielding a semi-automatic rifle.
"There have been some concerns voiced by gun control advocates that the president was waiting too long, because right now the emotions of the moment are so raw, they think that this is the time to act. The president says that the American people have a longer attention span than that," Al Jazeera's Patty Culhane, reporting from Washington DC, said.
Any renewal of the assault weapons ban, she said, would also in no way affect the estimated 200 million guns that have already been bought by individuals in the United States.

We are two adults looking to share an Illuminations fireworks cruise with someone that has one booked. We arrive at Disney April 7th and are leaving April 13th, 2013. Please let us know if we could share your booked Illuminations cruise with you. Please email me at egyptes at sbcglobal.net
Kendra and Garrett
Just want to say that we have an Illumination cruise booked on May 20 (see my signature!)
PM me if you're interested to share. We've got 6 adults so far.
My family of 4 (me, DH, DD15, DD11) will be in the world from February 24-March 2. Anyone out there looking for someone to fill in spots for an Illuminations cruise? Ideally looking for the 25th or 27th since we have ADRs at EPCOT already, but might be willing to switch around days/times if necessary.
Hi everyone
There's a party of three of us going to Orlando from 30th August until 10th September 2013. I'd really like to get a premium Wishes fireworks cruise, but I don't want to rent the boat because we obviously aren't going to fill the 10 spaces at the moment. Is there anybody else who would be interested in sharing the costs of one of these cruises? At the moment, it doesn't matter what date it is, as long as it is during our stay!
If somebody is interested, I don't mind booking the cruise and doing all of the work, as long as the costs are shared accordingly.
Hi we are booked as a family of 5 for an illuminations cruise. thinking about sharing.
You should post your date if you want to find someone.
I thought that too and got my hopes up, then I saw the title they put =[
Mom and daughter trip! Looking to share an Illuminations cruise with someone. Our dates are May 14-16. Thanks!
A cautionary tale: I responded to a request to share an Illuminations cruise. I always wanted to do this so was very excited to be able to find one during my vacation. Against my better judgement, I sent a check to the person hosting the cruise, prior to the cruise, per his request. I really thought it better to pay him when we boarded the cruise. I informed him prior to the cruise that I had concerns about a dinner ressie and being on time for the cruise. I was told check in was 8:00 pm and the cruise left at 8:30. Sure enough, the dinner ran late and we barely made our cruise. I tried calling the man several times to let him know we would be cutting it close, but he did not answer his cell. We got to the dock at 8:25 and the boat was already leaving. I couldn't believe it. They did pull back in and let us on. The man had our money so had no incentive to be honorable and wait. I still had a wonderful time in spite of what happened. The cruise was beautiful and the captain's narration of the event was so informative. I believe if you are hosting something like this and you have people's money, you should have your cell phone on so you can be contacted, and if you tell someone you are leaving at a certain time, you leave at that time and not earlier. I hope my mistakes might help someone else.
Sorry to hear that this happened.
For those who will be joining others on a cruise like this, payment is at the time of departure. The host of the reservation i guess has final say as to when he wants payment, but again, they don't have to pay until the time of departure.
I guess the situation above calls for more communication in these kind of agreements on both parties.
Having a dining reservation close to the time of the cruise may have been risky, especially not knowing what delays may have happened, then the travel time there may have caused delays.
If the host says to be there at a certain time, i'd imagine to be there by that time. In the case above, even if there was an idea of the boat leaving at 8:30, check-in was 8pm. The cruise is only one hour long, and it is an expensive hour. It would be difficult to justify holding back and waiting since it is an expensive hour and the minutes are ticking away. It's not like they can start the cruise later; the captain cruises around crescent lake, then goes to the fireworks (that start at a specific time, mostly 9pm), then back to the dock. There really is no way to extend that hour time.
To the host of the account, i can hear some say why they might not have had a phone...they were on vacation, and he did specify the check in time. On the same token, having a phone on them might have been beneficial, especially since he strongly requested the money up front, and did voluntarily involve another party to join his party.
I guess my question would be...if anything held the joining party to be late to the point of not getting on the boat, what happens then? What if the host did have his phone, and the joining party couldn't arrive on time, is it his fault? That's not for me to answer here.... i'm not trying to take sides, just stating the realities (and possible realities). I can see each persons side in the issue...and obviously, i wasn't there, and didn't see the attitudes of either party. Also not stated is what the Captain may have said to the host...they may have had scheduled deadlines as well. That's unknown based on the information above. Again, not trying to point fingers or pot stir so to speak, just seeing things from an outside, third person view.
I am glad that everyone there had a good time!!!
Although the questions in the above paragraph didn't have to be answered in this scenario, as was mentioned by the quoted post above, communication is definitely necessary so issues like these can be talked through before commitments are made.
The Disboards work like a charm! Received response and we're all set for Epcot fireworks cruise!
Thank you Patty57!
Darn...I leave the 6th.
Hi. My family of 4 has an Illuminations cruise reservation on Thursday, June 6th. If another family would like to share and split the cost, please contact me. Thanks!
Hello! After following this thread for over a year, finally a date is posted that works for us! I am interested in sharing the June 6th cruise with you and your family. It would be myself and my two DS (9 and 11). Can you email me with details? Thanks! Celeste
I've never done a illuminations or wish cruise before. How much is it per person if we share one? It would be just me and dh?
My boyfriend and I would love to share an Illuminations cruise on either March 1 or March 2, 2013. Know this is last minute but if anyone has two extra spots on their cruise please PM me to coordinate logistics! Look forward to hearing from you!!
Anyone with an Illuminations cruise booked on Thursday, May 2nd or Monday, May 6th and looking for two more people? Please PM me. Two adults.
anyone done the pirate cruise? is it still available? for dh 47 th birthday which is better - the illumination or pirate cruises?

Why does Michael B. Mukasey have a portrait of George Orwell hanging in his office? Today I read a document that suggests that the spirit of Orwell–or more precisely Orwell's nightmare–is indeed alive at the Department of Justice. Last week a whistleblower leaked a series of highly incriminating documents about the prosecution of former Alabama Governor Don E. Siegelman. The documents showed that aggressive claims made by the U.S. Attorney who brought the case–and who is close to Karl Rove–were "less than candid." Indeed, the documents may be more damaging than that.
These documents should have been turned over to Congress, which issued a subpoena requiring their production. But today we see that notwithstanding the damage done to its credibility by the leaks, the Bush Justice Department is intent on stonewalling Congress for every day of their two remaining months. The problem is that they have no legal basis for denying the subpoena. And this is where Orwell gets useful–and where the soulless bureaucrat that Orwell despised knows just what to do. Craft some senseless lines that sound good and principled but are actually devoid of meaning. In a letter responding to the subpoena, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Keith B. Nelson states:
We do not believe that a possible departure from those policies in any given matter, the details of which may not be known or knowable at this point, requires us to set them aside in any other matter.
Talkingpointsmemo quotes a Committee staffer suggesting that Keith Nelson has obviously hired Donald Rumsfeld to write his copy. But I disagree. This text is classic Orwellian doublespeak. The Justice Department's main point is that disclosure of the documents would injure the Justice Department's position in the Siegelman appeal, now slated to be argued in Atlanta on December 9.
Of course, recent disclosures show clearly that Nelson's concern is well taken. The documents that leaked undercut claims made by the U.S. attorney in a statement submitted to Congress. In theory, Congress has a right to look into the honesty of the statements made to it, and act if it finds there was an effort to mislead. Viewed as a strategy for a cornered criminal defendant who's run out of good arguments, Nelson's letter looks fine.
I have no doubt that disclosure of this information would severely harm the Justice Department's position in the Siegelman appeal, just as Nelson suggests. Indeed, any light shed on the inner workings of the Justice Department in this case would destroy it, just as strong sunlight disinfects a bacillus spore. Nelson is doing a good job for his client. Unfortunately for us, he seems to have lost track of the fact that his client is supposed to be the United States.
"Political language," Orwell tells us in Politics and the English Language, "is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." The Justice Department has made his case.

National Guardsman, Cousin Charged With Conspiracy to Support Islamic State
Two Chicago-area men were charged Wednesday with conspiring to provide material support to the terrorist group, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
Hasan Edmonds, a member of the Illinois Army National Guard, was arrested at the Chicago Midway International Airport just before boarding a flight to Cairo, Egypt. Edmonds hoped to take the "southern route" that he was told was the "safest route" from Egypt into Syria to fight alongside Islamic State forces. Jonas Edmonds, Hasan's cousin, was arrested in his home in the Chicago suburb Aurora.
According to a criminal complaint, Hasan planned to use his military training to wage jihad with the Islamic State. Jonas planned to stay in the U.S. and carry out an armed attack against a U.S. military facility in northern Illinois where Hasan trained. The cousins planned to use Hasan's uniforms and knowledge about getting inside the facility.
In conversations with an undercover agent on Facebook, Hasan said it was his "duty" to support ISIL and die a martyr. He said he had no desire to continue serving in the U.S. National Guard and preferred to "struggle and strive hard in the cause of Allah rather than sit back and live a 'comfortable' life." Hasan also gave advice to the undercover agent on how to fight the U.S. and its army saying, "In all honesty the best way to be them is to break their will. With the U.S. no matter how many you kill they will keep coming unless the soldiers and the american [sic] public no longer have the will to fight."
When he had trouble getting a passport, Jonas told the undercover agent he wanted to meet other ISIL supporters in the U.S. if he couldn't get to Mosul in Iraq to wage jihad. "If I find myself stuck here. I intend to take advantage of being close to the kuffar [infidel] ... Do you know of brothers on this side. That are not looking to leave."
The Edmonds cousins "plotted to attack members of our military within the United States," Assistant Attorney General John Carlin said in a Justice Department press release announcing the arrest. "Disturbingly, one of the defendants currently wears the same uniform of those they allegedly planned to attack."
Both Edmonds men face a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization.

Amnesty International Alleges Palestinians Committed War Crimes
Palestinian terrorist groups violated international law and blatantly disregarded civilian lives by consistently firing missiles indiscriminately into Israel during last summer's war with Israel, Amnesty International reports.
The Amnesty report outlines evidence of numerous specific attacks launched from the Gaza strip that directly resulted in the deaths of Israeli civilians, including a 4-year-old boy. The report also strongly suggests that Palestinian attacks killed Palestinian civilians. For example, a missile fired from within the Gaza Strip killed 13 Palestinians, 11 of them children, after it landed in the al-Shati refugee camp. Even though Palestinians accused Israel for the attack, an independent munitions expert examining the evidence confirmed that Palestinians launched the missile.
"Palestinian armed groups, including the armed wing of Hamas, repeatedly launched unlawful attacks during the conflict killing and injuring civilians. In launching these attacks, they displayed a flagrant disregard for international humanitarian law and for the consequences of their violations on civilians in both Israel and the Gaza Strip," said Philip Luther, Amnesty International's director of the Middle East and North Africa Program.
Amnesty's report also acknowledges that all of the rockets used by Palestinian terrorist organizations are unguided missiles which are inherently indiscriminate and lack the capability to strike targets accurately. Moreover, the findings outline extensive Palestinian use of mortars, which should never be utilized against military targets located near residential areas.
Palestinian groups also violated international humanitarian law by using civilian buildings including United Nations (UN) schools and hospitals for weapons storage. The report outlines specific cases where terrorist organizations launched attacks very close to areas where hundreds of displaced civilians were seeking refuge.
Amnesty's report also suggests that some of Israel's counterterrorism operations should be investigated as war crimes as well and that both Israeli and Palestinian authorities should cooperate with United Nations (UN) commissions and the International Criminal Court.
Over 4,800 rockets and 1,700 mortars were launched into Israel from the Gaza Strip during the summer conflict, according to UN data. Roughly 224 of these projectiles hit Israeli residential areas, while Israel's Iron Dome intercepted numerous other rockets achieving a success rate of 90 percent.

Palestinians Glorify Terrorist Responsible for 37 Israeli Deaths
A $655 million judgment levied by an American jury last month for facilitating terrorist attacks a decade ago apparently did little to persuade the Palestinian Authority (PA) to stop glorifying terrorists.
The PA recently dedicated a monument in Ramallah to terrorist Dalal Mughrabi, who led a 1978 bus hijacking attack that killed 37 Israeli civilians, Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) reports.
The Mughrabi Square monument features a large map of "Palestine" which includes the entire State of Israel and an image of Mughrabi holding a rifle. This is yet another clear example of the Palestinian Authority glorifying terrorists who murder Israeli civilians and denying Israel's right to exist in any form. And it's the latest in a series of honors the PA has bestowed upon Mughrabi's memory.
Palestinian Authority TV News also featured prominent statements glorifying Mughrabi and encouraging future similar attacks.
"It is an eternal day and a painful anniversary, but [it also] gives us energy, honor and power on this day, the anniversary of the Martyrdom of the fighter commander Dalal Mughrabi. She who commanded a squad of self-sacrificing fighters, defined 'return' [of refugees] in her own unique way and returned to Palestine to liberate Palestine," said Rabiha Dhiab, former Minister of Women's Affairs.
In addition, the PMW report cites an orthodox Christian cleric who said: "Dalal, God bless her, this female Martyr, she taught us how to liberate the homeland. She, who founded the Republic of Palestine on one of the buses of Palestine. We all see her as a model and as a symbol for us."
Fatah's official Facebook page also announced the dedication of the monument to Mughrabi, referring to her as a "Martyr" and the terrorist attack as "the heroic coastal operation."
In 2010, Palestinian Authority announced plans to name the square after Mughrabi. But PA President Mahmoud Abbas cancelled the dedication after U.S. pressure, including a letter signed by 20 U.S. congressmen condemning the glorification of Mughrabi's attack.
This latest glorification comes amid increased U.S. pressure on Israel to engage in concessions to the Palestinians. It remains to be seen if similar pressure will be applied to the Palestinians for continuing to incite violence against Israelis. And it comes less than a month after a federal jury in New York found the PA liable for supporting terrorist attacks between 2001-04. While the evidence suggests the PA stopped that practice after founding leader Yasser Arafat's death, the incitement to violence against Israelis and the granting of hero's status to terrorist continues.

British PM Pulls MB Report
British Prime Minister David Cameron pulled a report Monday which was widely expected to recommend against labeling the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization.
The review, led by Britain's ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Sir John Jenkins, also is expected to suggest that the Muslim Brotherhood's activities in the United Kingdom should be more open and remain under review. No concrete policy recommendations are expected; however, it is expected to name a network of linked organizations alleged to be involved in extremist activities.
This network reportedly included a complex web of at least 60 organizations, think tanks, TV channels and charities with links to the Muslim Brotherhood. The British government decided in December that it would release only a summary of the full report.
Cameron requested the report in April, reportedly at the instigation of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The anticipated recommendations could place Britain at odds with Gulf States such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which classified the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization last year. The UAE included the U.K.-based Cordoba Foundation, headed by Muslim Brotherhood leader Anas al-Tikriti, and the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) on its list of terrorist organizations.
Al-Tikriti previously served as MAB's spokesman and has a track record of supporting Hamas. He also supported Islamist terrorists in their fight against U.S. and U.K. troops following Saddam Hussein's fall.
British ministers worry that being too tough on the Brotherhood could annoy Qatar, which recently signed an intelligence agreement with the U.K.
Disputes over the Muslim Brotherhood's terror connections delayed the report's scheduled release, but the Financial Times suggests that the report is unlikely to see the light of day prior to Britain's May 7 elections.
"I would like to update the House [the UK parliament] that a report into the main findings of the Muslim Brotherhood Review will be published alongside the Government's new counter-extremism strategy," Cameron told the MPs in a written statement.
Cameron's decision to pull the report even surprised his Liberal Democratic coalition partners. They reportedly agreed to its publication on Friday.
The Muslim Brotherhood hopes to use the report as political cover in its fight against the Egyptian government's crackdown.
"If the British government claimed that the Muslim Brotherhood is not a terrorist organization, the crackdown on MB members in Egypt could be eased," MB lawyer Mohammed al-Damatti told the Cairo Post.

South Florida Jihadist Now On ICE
His prison sentence complete, a Pakistani man who plotted a series of prospective terrorist attacks in South Florida has been moved from a federal penitentiary to the custody of U.S. immigration officials pending deportation from the United States.
Imran Mandhai lived in Broward County Florida from the late 1990s into the early 2000s. He attended the Darul Uloom Institute mosque in Pembroke Pines, the same mosque where al-Qaida notable and Mandhai associate Adnan el-Shukrijumah sought spiritual solace. Mandhai and codefendant Shueyb Mosaa Jokhan were investigated by the Miami Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF).
The two men conspired to commit jihad in South Florida by blowing up power stations, synagogues and a National Guard armory. The JTTF introduced an undercover informant to the two wannabe jihadis and foiled their plans.
Mandhai initially was arrested by special agents of what was then the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) assigned to the JTTF in February of 2002 on terrorism-related deportation charges. Subsequently, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami indicted Mandhai and Jokhan and the two ultimately pleaded guilty to conspiracy to destroy property affecting interstate commerce. Mandhai was sentenced to 14 years in prison.
The court further ordered that Mandhai would be surrendered to federal immigration authorities upon completion of his prison sentence.
That happened Monday, when Mandhai completed his term of incarceration with the Bureau of Prisons and was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents for removal (deportation) proceedings. A spokeswoman for ICE confirmed Mandhai's custody status with the agency with the following statement, "Imran Farooq Mandhai was transferred to ICE custody March 9, 2015 from the Bureau of Prisons after completing his federal prison sentence. He will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings."
As an alien convicted of a federal terrorism-related felony, Mandhai is subject to mandatory detention during those removal proceedings and likely would be ineligible for any form of relief from deportation, said Dan Vara, the former Chief Counsel for INS and ICE in Miami and Orlando who prosecuted Mandhai in the initial deportation case in 2002.

Palestinian Slams Car into Israelis on Purim Holiday, PLO Encourages More Attacks
A Palestinian man rammed a car into a group of Israeli pedestrians injuring five people including four female border police officers during the Jewish holiday of Purim, the Jerusalem Post reports.
Police consider the incident to be a terrorist attack, reporting that the driver swerved onto the sidewalk near a light rail station before emerging from the vehicle with a butcher knife trying to stab other people.
Israeli authorities have identified the suspect as 22-year-old Mohammed Mahmoud Abdel Razek Salaima from the Palestinian neighbourhood Ras al-Amud. Salaima has a criminal record and remains hospitalized in critical condition after a police officer at the scene shot him following the incident.
The alleged attack occurred in an area that has witnessed numerous Palestinian vehicular attacks in the past year that targeted Israeli pedestrians.
The incident takes place in context of a PLO Central Council conference that issued a statement praising previous Palestinian attacks targeting Israelis in Jerusalem and calling for popular resistance, the Middle East Media Research Service (MEMRI) reports.
"The Central Council congratulates our people who take part in the heroic intifada [violent uprising in Jerusalem] against the barbarism and brutality of the settlers and the occupation forces… To strengthen the steadfastness of Jerusalem and its heroic intifada, the Central Council calls upon all the political and national authorities in the city to allocate the funds necessary to reinforce the steadfastness of our people…" reads the PLO committee statement.
The Council also called for a suspension of security coordination with Israel, but the resolution requires the approval of Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas.
The PA and Abbas' Fatah faction systematically glorify Palestinian terrorist attacks targeting Israeli civilians and continue to encourage future attacks by explicitly inciting violence against Israelis and Jews.

Muslim Brotherhood Condemns Egypt Court Declaring Hamas A Terrorist Group, Calls for Destruction of Israel
The Muslim Brotherhood condemned an Egyptian court decision to designate Hamas as a terrorist organization and called for the destruction of the Jewish state, according to an Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) translation of a Brotherhood statement released on its Arabic website.
"The Zionist entity will continue to be its historic enemy until the complete liberation of the land. We will soon celebrate, if God wills, the collapse of this coup and the return of Egypt to its role in protecting the Arab national security," reads the Brotherhood statement.
The "complete liberation of the land" in this context directly refers to Israel's destruction.
The declaration also expressed support for Hamas as the main "legitimate organization" of the Palestinian people.
The Palestinian terrorist group is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, which was also declared as a terrorist organization in Egypt as part of a systematic campaign against radical Islamism.
Another Muslim Brotherhood statement, translated by the IPT, refers to Hamas as "the honor of the Umma [global Muslim community]", glorifies Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel, and calls for continued resistance against the Egyptian regime.
"[The Egyptian court ruling] places little value on the Resistance against practices of the Zionist enemy, and sacrifices it puts forth, exerting life and treasure to liberate al Aqsa, the Holy Places and all occupied Palestinian territory. Thus, we refuse to recognize the rulings of the judges of the military coup and all their ludicrous rulings, stressing that we will continue to besiege the military coup until it topples, considering it part of the Zionist project…," reads the Brotherhood statement.
In January, an Egyptian court labelled Hamas' military wing a terrorist organization. However, judicial sources reveal that Saturday's ruling encompasses the entire organization, Reuters reports.
Hamas, a designated terrorist organization in the U.S., Canada, and other countries, actively targets and attacks innocent Israelis and is committed to the annihilation of the Jewish state.
Moreover, Yusuf Qaradawi, the spiritual head of the global Muslim Brotherhood also condemned the Egyptian court ruling, according to an IPT translation of an al-Masry al-Youm report.
"Yesterday was the criminalization of Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades; today is the criminalization of the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas and describing it as terrorist," Qaradawi said on his Twitter page.
Qaradawi continues to incite against the ruling Egyptian regime and Israel from his base in Qatar. The Brotherhood leader has previously called for Muslims to unite in armed struggle against Jews and Israel. Similarly, Qaradawi issued a fatwa, or religious ruling, approving suicide attacks against U.S. forces in Iraq and declaring those who mount them as martyrs.

Austrian Parliament Bans Foreign Funding For Islamic Organizations
The Austrian parliament passed legislation on Wednesday prohibiting foreign funding for Islamic organizations in an attempt at curbing the spread of Islamist radicalism, Newsweek reports.
The law specifically bans foreign funding for imams and mosques from some Muslim nations including Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Under the new legislation, Austria's 450 Muslim organizations must exhibit a "positive approach toward society and the state" in order to continue receiving official authorization.
Sebastian Kurz, Austria's integration minister, said that the new provisions would inhibit specific Muslim countries from exerting "political influence" in Austria via financial mechanisms.
"What we want is to reduce the political influence and control from abroad and we want to give Islam the chance to develop freely within our society and in line with our common European values," Kurz told the BBC on Wednesday.
The new law has received backlash from Austria's Muslim communities, arguing that international support for Christian and Jewish groups is still allowed. However, the legislation appears to target some countries with problematic foreign policies of promoting radical Islamist agendas.
Moreover, the law will initiate university-led education programs for Austrian imams and Muslims will have the right to halal meals in some of the country's main institutions and public schools, including hospitals, prisons, and in the armed forces. Muslim workers in these institutions will also be able to receive spiritual guidance from Islamic religious leaders.

Attackers Kill American Writer at Bangladesh Book Fair
A Bangladeshi-American writer who endured threats from Islamists over his secular views was hacked to death in Dhaka late Thursday, reports say.
Avijit Roy, 42, was a naturalized American living in Georgia. He was a frequent critic of radical Islamic doctrine. At least two attackers descended on Roy and his wife, blogger Rafida Ahmed Bonna, near Dhaka University. She was hospitalized with several stab wounds and a severed finger.
No arrests have been made and no suspects identified. But police reportedly found two machetes and a finger at the scene. The couple was in Dhaka to attend an annual national book fair where two of Roy's works were being promoted.
The Investigative Project on Terrorism profiled Roy last year after death threats against him and a top Bangladeshi bookseller prompted the company to stop selling Roy's books. He said he felt safe in America, but took the death threats seriously. "Who knows, some miscreants might take him up and act on it."
The threats came from Islamist Farabi Shafiur Rahman, allegedly a member of the radical Jamaat e Islami, who issued them publicly but remained free.
Rahman noted on Facebook that "Avijit Roy lives in America and so, it is not possible to kill him right now. But he will be murdered when he comes back." The threat apparently proved all too real Thursday night.
The threat also targeted the bookseller Rokomari.com, invoking the name of blogger Rajib Haidar, who also was hacked to death by Islamists in February 2013. Haidar, known as Thaba Baba, advocated for war crimes tribunals for alleged leaders of the 1971 killings of intellectuals and leaders after Bangladesh's war of independence against Pakistan. Rokomari stopped selling Roy's books in response.
In an article last fall, Roy described how his book The Virus of Faith, was well received and became a best-seller at last year's book fair. But the book also "hit the cranial nerve of fundamentalists," he wrote. "The death threats started flowing to my inbox on a regular basis. I suddenly found myself to be a target of militant Islamists and terrorists."
In the essay, Roy discussed the problem of Islamist violence, but struck a defiant tone.
"Well, I am still alive despite Farabi [Rahman]-threats- writing a blog remembering the Blasphemy day," he wrote. "My books are also going well; at least this is what I hear from my publishers. Apparently, readers did not need Rokomari to get my books ... There is nothing much to complain about life right now. But that is not the point I would like to make here."
Roy died for having ideas that radical Islamists considered blasphemous. He joins martyrs for free expression, like those at Charlie Hebdo who were slaughtered in Paris last month.

A Quarter of British Muslims Sympathize with Paris Attack Terrorists
More than a quarter of British Muslims sympathize with the terrorists who committed the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris last month, according to a new ComRes poll conducted for the BBC. These findings indicate that a substantial minority of Muslims in Britain approve of murder against individuals deemed to have insulted the Prophet Mohammed.
Roughly 27 percent of the respondents said that they have "some sympathy for the motives behind the attacks" while 32 percent said that they were not surprised by the terrorist attacks.
While 68 percent of British Muslims believe that such attacks are "never" justified, 24 percent disagreed. Moreover, 11 percent said that magazines which publish pictures of the prophet "deserve to be attacked."
In January, radical Islamist terrorists killed 17 people in shooting attacks at the satirical weekly paper Charlie Hebdo and at a kosher supermarket in Paris.
In a column, former radical Islamist Maajid Nawaz called the survey results "profoundly disconcerting. But they are far from surprising."
They are the result of separate educational programs for British Muslims along with an overall insular existence, he writes. "Disintegration from British society creates a breeding ground for preaching of religious hatred."
The problem is worsened when the rest of society avoids debating the challenges posed by Islamist ideology, Nawaz writes.
And it is not a problem limited to Europe. A 2007 Pew poll found that 26 percent of Muslim Americans under age 30 found suicide bombings could be justifiable.

Do you like fish? Did you tend the family aquarium when you were a child? Stace Bleich did, and now he's turned his love of fish into a successful business called Aquariums by Design Inc. He designs and installs aquariums. His company also services, maintains and moves them.
When he started the business on a part-time basis in 1997, he was working as a manager at the Aquarium Services store in Kitchener.
The store sold aquariums and aquarium products, but there were customers who also wanted their tanks cleaned and maintained. Bleich figured he could earn some extra cash by providing that service.
"I didn't even know if it was going to be a legitimate business, but I kept getting more clients," he says.
Finally, four years ago, he and his wife Jaime, who does the books for the business, decided there were enough customers to turn Aquariums by Design into a full-time enterprise.
Today, the company is still providing maintenance, but also does sales, design and installation.
The company has five people on staff, plus a cabinet maker on contract who makes cabinets for custom built aquariums.
Each maintenance staff member has a "route" to provide weekly and bi-weekly cleaning and maintenance for fish tanks and bird aviaries across a wide swath of southern Ontario.
Bleich tries to maximize the number of stops on the routes as much as possible.

Selling books on Amazon?
Comments (8)
Media mail is also known as book rate. You can use media mail to ship books, CDs and DVDs. You cannot use it to ship other non-media items like clothing or household items. Media mail may be cheaper. However, it is one of the slowest shipping methods. So some buyers may not like it as it may take them 10-14 days or longer to receive their books or DVDs. If they prefer, they can upgrade their shipping to Expedited Shipping for a few dollars more, and you can ship the book via Priority mail.
Even though you may have access to lots of cheap books, it doesn't mean you can make much on Amazon selling these cheap books. Competition on Amazon is fierce and there are lots of experienced sellers there (with many thousands of feedback) who have been selling books and other media items for years. They have a lot of books that sell for pennies or maybe a buck. I would advise you to check out the competition on Amazon for a particular book before even buying the book to sell. Make sure you can really make a decent profit. A lot of these high volume book sellers sell a ton of books every month (>10,000 books) and they try to profit a little through the shipping cost of these penny books (as well as books that sell for more than a couple of bucks). Amazon will reimburse you $3.99 for shipping books (standard rate and not expedited rate) and $2.99 for shipping DVDs. A little here and a little there add up to a decent profit for these high-volume book sellers each month. If you are a small book seller, you would have to compete with them and if you don't sell enough to make a decent gross income, in my opinion, it would just be a waste of time. Also, don't forget to take into account the selling fee Amazon will charge you.
Frankly, if I were to sell books there, I would only sell books that don't have that much competition. I would not sell just about any books.
Also, you have to make sure you describe the condition as accurately as possible. So even if the book is new and have never been read before but has been sitting on your shelf for years, you *may* only describe it as "like new." Some buyers are quite particular about the item condition.
I would do as the previous poster has suggested - sell books that you already have and do not want anymore. Gain some experience before you step up your effort to sell other books that you can acquire through flea markets and yard sales.
It really depends on the book. Like I said, I would gather up some books around your house, enter the isbn number, and see what they are worth. Once you learn what to look for it gets easier, but it takes time to learn. And it can be very competitive and cut throat, yes.
Sarahbeth, Atmadunes is right. It depends on the book. A hardcover book is not any better selling than a softcover. Do your research on Amazon before you start listing the book.

By Anna Somers Cocks. Web onlyPublished online: 02 April 2012
He is called the charioteer and although damaged, with his turning, athletic body and robe so fine and clinging that every muscle is revealed, he is one of the most exquisite surviving Greek sculptures. And the British Museum has managed to borrow him for the duration of the Olympic Games.
From 1 May, the fifth-century BC Auriga (charioteer) of Mozia (where he was found) will be on display in the Duveen Gallery surrounded by the Parthenon Marbles, which are slightly younger by about 30 years. Normally, to see the charioteer you have to make a lengthy pilgrimage to a remote island off the west coast of Sicily, to the little museum set up in memory of the English marsala importer Giuseppe Whitaker, who personally funded decades of excavations there. In a deal struck with the Sicilian government, the British Museum is sending the Strangford Apollo (see photo below), an almost equally beautiful naked youth, found in the Greek Cyclades Islands, to take the charioteer's place while he comes north, until 30 September.

Tommorrow you can.
"But... it was so artistically done." Thrawn
I'd replace James with Kasumi, EDI with Samara and LI with Wrex.

Vega's role is a tank, and he has everything Grunt had in ME2; Fortification(even though it's different here), Incendiary Ammo, and Carnage(i.e. Concussive Shot).
I don't have a problem with Vega's role; he fills in a nice niche in the squad. However, I don't want a 'nobody' to take that role. Krogans should fit that niche, and as for Wrex I can understand the politics issue, not to mention he'd be wtfoverpowered like he was in ME1.
Nafzger posted...
Can I replace EDI instead?
And yeah, replace her with Legion. Legion's forced death was nonsensical anyway. Let him have EDI's skillsets so that he won't be a Tali clone this time, though.
Shepard's squad should be completely multiracial, with representatives from every race as possible. Except Salarians, since every Salarian sucks ass except for Mordin and Kirrahe.

I agree with dropping EDI instead. I really wasn't a fan of her story either, and would have preferred she stay as the ships AI.
With that being said, l would have liked Miranda back. She was pushed as Shepard's #2 in the second game, she had a good power set. Also her romance option wouldn't have felt so wasted.

Grunt would be the least work to replace vega all of James powers would work with grunt.
PSN Shadowsoldier771
Grunt. At least Wrex's reason for not joining actually makes sense. Vega has the exact same power set as Grunt too, besides carnage and grenades, but Grunt would have most likely acquired Carnage anyways because squadmates in ME3 have one more power as opposed to ME2 squadmates. Look at Tali and Garrus, they each gained another power.
And while I'm at it, replace EDI with Legion. EDI alone ruins the squad for me. It's such a joke, and a bad one too. It just felt like they were grasping at straws to not include a ME2 squadmate. I honestly would have preferred another brand new character like Vega as opposed to EDI, at least it would have made way more sense.

Why are my daffs a different color this year?
The daffs in my front bed have always (several years)been white with an orange cup, but this year the cups are yellow. Anybody have any idea why?
As daffodil blooms mature, often the cup color will mature to its actual true color.
For example, Ice Follies that we are almost all familiar with is often thought to have white petals and a yellow cup. Actually as the blooms mature the cup turns white and it is registered with the Royal Horticultural Society as having white petals and a white cup.
The pics at the link below show Ice Follies blooms in different stages.
Are your daffs just now opening or have they been open for a while?
Here is a link that might be useful: Especially note the pic-second from the right in the top row.
cooler temps bring out more of the reds and pinks, warmer temps will often yellow out the colors. If you are having warmer than usual temperatures it might explain the different color.
Last year we had an unusually rainy and cool daffodil season here in Pa. The colors were much brighter and longer lasting!
