Green Candy Story Time
Return to the FarmSpring blanketed the hills with green, like dye covering eggs, turning mundane to brilliance. Paul Welker pulled his car to the side of the dirt lane, rolled down the window and breathed deep the scent of home. He got out and looked over the landscape. The gravel shifted beneath his shoes and he felt like he was taking root once more. A smile played across his mouth, and he began walking, slowly at first, then faster. He jogged the stretch to the farm.
He could visualize the place, as clearly as a picture. The yard would be pristine, the earth in the side yard freshly turned for the impending garden. Moses, no longer a kid but an old goat now, would be grazing behind the barn. Chickens would be clucking in front of the house where, if he was lucky, Grandpa would be sitting on the porch, finished with afternoon chores. He'd be sucking on a wintergreen candy stick, killing time until dinner was ready. He'd agree to eat healthy, then invade the candy bag sitting atop the refrigerator, scooping a handful of Green Apple Sours or Andes Mints. He and Daddy would snack on the sweets until bedtime. Momma would allow herself one.
Paul slowed as he thought of his father. He'd left angry, yelling about a half-dead farm. He wondered how he'd be received. Topping the rise overlooking the farm, Paul stopped, allowing the sight to calm his apprehension. He leaned against a large tractor sitting idle at the property line.
"Son?" Caleb Welker stood from the far side, wrench in hand. He blinked, as if doubting his vision. "Paul? Are you home?" He stepped forward, the wrench hitting the ground as he threw his arms around Paul's neck, alternately grasping his shoulders and pounding his back. "Oh, so, I'm so glad!"
Paul squeezed his eyes shut. He grabbed his father, holding him like he had as a small child.
Caleb held his son at arm's length. "Wasn't all you thought it'd be?" He smiled gently as Paul shook his head. "For me, either. We'll talk about my misadventures after dinner. "
"Your misadventures?"
Caleb nodded. "When I told your grandpa to stick it and went out to find the world. " He put his arm around Paul's shoulder, steering him down the lane. "Come on now, boy. Momma's got dinner cooking. Let's go home."

What You'll Need
To get started, you need just a few things. Most importantly, you'll need a jailbroken iPhone (2G or 3G) with a data plan. If you've haven't already jailbroken your iPhone, grab a copy of the PwnageTool or WinPwn and follow the simple jailbreaking wizards. (If you want a little hand-holding, we've got a guide for PwnageTool here and one for WinPwn here.) All jailbroken? Good. Now assuming you've got a laptop, let's get this party started.Install PdaNet
Fire up your jailbroken iPhone and launch the Cydia application from your homescreen. Tap the search tab, then do a quick search for PdaNet. Once you find it, tap the Install button on the top right of the screen (mine says Modify because it's already installed on my iPhone). Follow the install dialog and you're done.Create an Ad-Hoc Network
This is the most complex sounding part of the setup, but it's actually very simple. Your laptop is capable of creating an ad-hoc wireless network that allows data to pass between it and the device that connects to it. In this case, we're going to create an ad-hoc network between your laptop and your iPhone so that your laptop can use your iPhone's data connection. Simple enough, right? Setting up the ad-hoc network varies depending on what operating system you're using. On OS X, it's a breeze: Just click on Create Network... on your Airport drop-down.Give your ad-hoc network a name and set up a password if you like.
That's all there is to it. It's a little more complicated if you're on a Windows laptop, so here's how to set up an ad-hoc network in XP and here's how to do it in Vista.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Start Your Tethering
Once you've set up your ad-hoc network, tethering your iPhone to your laptop is a breeze. Just open your iPhone Settings, tap Wi-Fi, and select your newly created network.Then head back to your home screen, launch PdaNet, and flip the WiFi Router switch at the bottom of the screen.

Interesting place - Pakistan is stillthe Jihad hub of the world, according to dawn news.
These people don't need politicians.They need more jihadists. People who are really good muslims, and the ones who will rid us of all the Kaffirs.
Totally pointless article. What is its relevance except raising profile of a rambling cleric? He has very little support in Pakistan. Why give him so much importance. Articles like these do only one thing: that is to provide an opportunity to Indians to spew venom. Just look at unfounded claims and wild conjectures and unbridled sarcasm.
Sure, Zahid, sure...and you didn't add your customary bit about "Indians in low-paying IT jobs". Guess it escapes you and your ummah brethren those IT jobs and low-pay are the envy of the civilized world...esp when compared to Pakis...nurturing terrorists, providing them shelter and support, trafficking in nuclear tech, attacking places of governance and hospitality (not to mention hospitals too, both Indian and Jewish cf Delhi and Mumbai attacks), engaging in wanton and reckless military adventurism (cf Kargil, prior attempts in Kashmir) and getting their ass handed to them...leaving behind the dead and disclaiming any interest or ownership...and yes, raping and pillaging the Bangladeshi nationals...and when confronted, turning out to the biggest and larges surrender monkeys the world has ever seen. KSM, OBL, AQ, AQ Khan, ...
After all that you have the audacity to talk about wild conjectures and unbridled sarcasm? You'd be better off marching with your brethren in DC, provided this country lets you in.
Also adding to your comment...
This man has a very doubtful character - very questionable.. he claimed refugee status in Canada because he feared for his life in Pakistan.
And yet he is back in Pakistan - no fear in him ( perhaps publicity protects him in a country where it does not protect any one else)
T.E. gives importance to people only if they read the TE.
Do These countrymen stand in a que to buy the TE?
And yet there are a lot of good laeders there who are not so pro-Islamic and so not very popular
What IT?,software...overhyped by the courtesy of the West.
Show me an humble mouse made in india attached to indian assembled laptop,pc...all parts are Made in China.
Nokia phones assembled in India with carcasses Made in China,stamped as Made in India !.
Hindustani Rapist holds the Champianship,consult global media coverage.
All IT eggheads of Indian origin works for pittance in the USA.
Your hot air about Bangladesh,Kargil,Kashmir,KSM,OBL,AQ,AQ Khan are fillers of desperate editor of an Indian paper...
You don't say?
Suc little things trouble us so!
Sometimes enough to turn us to terrorism
Never a dull moment in Pakistan politics...
when there is no reason for an incident like the mutiliation of 2 Indian soldiers, then one gets suspicious.
India tells us that none of her soldiers crossed the line, and nothing had been done by her soldiers, and Pakistan tells us that the Indians had crossed the line first.
Of course the Pakistani's have no cerdibility, and the fact is that their soldiers deliberately crossed the line with the gait of some stone age people.
HArd to beleive these army people.
a few points occur to me.
(1) They did this just before starting the talks on peace.
(2)They have, just like Pakistan, no credibility.
(3)The Army does not want any one to look at the budget, and especially the amount of money that they absorb.
The conclusion is that, any possibility of peace, and the army would loose it's place in the stone age society. Credibility gardly matters.
No matter- I still think that the best solution for India is to give them an arms race - which should lead to a break up of the country.
A few extra states will be easier to deal with. The state with the nuclear weapons is a worry fo the super heroes of China, Russia, And the USA.
Really - It is time for India to stop being cautious - Let us send them broke.
Then The army will have several states to run. Plenty of money.
Well I think it is not a good idea for Army to take the charge. Beacuse its been dissolve in days(to be more accurate <=60 days). So Army should stay out of this mess.
"Rather than being a part of the solution (the Pakistan army) is a part of the problem. Its frequent interventions contribute to corruption: politicians reckon they need to make money quickly."
In other words the army should let the corrupt enough time to loot. This will encourage less corruption.
This is a laughable interpretation.
You have to be delusional to think that there is democracy in Pakistan. It's the most blatant form of autocracy where the political leaders are above the law and judicial orders are disregarded with disdain. Even military rule is closer to democracy than this government.
Two things to note here: One, America has never been Pakistan's friend. Rather, it has always deserted Pakistan and there are lobbies and groups in the US Army and government who have been a conspiring against Pakistan especially against its Army, ISI and the nuclear programme. America has been the source of Pakistan's problems.
Two, Pakistanis love and respect their Army because Army rules in Pakistan have been the best for the country in terms of stabiliy, growth, rule of law. We support Pakistan Army. Our friends like the US should keep away.
Your Point No. 1 is correct. The USA has used Pakistan for decades - they are certainly not Pakistan's friends. Like India, Pakistan should have become a non-aligned country during the Cold War. However, it was your 1st military dictator (Ayub) who joined several alliances with the USA, when the rest was Asia was non-aligned. Likewise, when the Russians invaded Afghanistan, Pakistan should not have bothered to do anything. It was not your problem. However, it was another military dictator (Zia) who forged very close ties with the CIA (and the USA), to defeat the Russians. Now you are in a tough spot - the USA has abandoned you and the Russians hate you. Furthermore, the Zia-created Taliban are killing (and kidnapping) people all over Pakistan. Thanks to the Pakistan Army!!! Your Point No. 2 is totally incorrect. Pakistan was destroyed by your army. Your 2nd military dictator (Yahya) lost half the country, because could not be bothered to hold discussions with the Bengali leaders. Read the Hamood-ur-Rehman Commission report - it documents the fact that he was too drunk on most days to even come to the office. And, in the evenings, he was too busy having sex with several women, including wives of prominent generals and ministers. I suggest that you read your own history carefully, particularly the role of the Pak army.
"Two,Pakistanis love and respect their Army........... the US should keep away."This is a thesis in part to be extended...
-Instituitions such as Army should not be allowed to outgrow their role,sadly, such civilian limbs got stunted.Army in power is as prone to corruption.
-Mosaic of Pakistan can be best preserved by treasuring cultural heritage of all the provinces,language,arts,crafts including live artisans with their contemporary contribution to Pakistan as an evolving entity.
-Urdu as common mode of communication must be the medium of translation for Pushto,Saraiky,Punjabi,sindhi,Pukhtoons.This will be binding glue towards mutual understanding ,respect as common citizenary replacing,hate,distrust among people...
-On global stage Pakistan to publish compendium of achievements of each Province in areas of Arst,Science,Education,Technology in English,French,German...Use on-line media,make hard-back copies for distribution in diplomatic circles,every five years....
-Strive for Global presence in all key areas.Mr Imran Khan's PTI is working on similar agenda..
Ahhh, when you took their money given you in truck- (or should it be plane-)loads and used it to pamper your military, feed those terrorists to wage war and terror against neighboring countries...it was all well and good? and when that supply stopped (because those terrorists you nurtured turned their aims toward us in the USA) and the questions re: your accountability and culpability began...you claim the Americas are never your friend? Convenient, isn't it? All too self-serving!!! You still want the world to believe you can run with the hares and hunt with the hounds...sorry, Pakis, that time came and went...and the world wised up to your double games...and the past decade has shown you what the future is going to be more of for you.
>Pakistanis love and respect their Army
Sure, that says a lot doesn't it? An Army that has lost every war against India. An Army that saw the largest ever, *record*!, surrender of military in human history. Cf Bangladesh. An Army that trains civilians to wage terror, sends them (with associated military) across borders, leaves their dead behind and disclaims any interest in them...Cf Kargil, Mumbai, numerous events in India. An Army caught with its pants down, its officers trapped and needing to be evacuated in a hurry. Cf Mazar e Sharif, 2002. Every action of that vaunted Army the Pakis respect has blown back on its face--intervention in Bangladesh, Afghanistan, India/Kashmir, global terrorism sponsorship, nuclear arms trafficking...
And the Pakis love and respect that Army? Says a lot...
Yankees should thank their stars...
* Russia decided to pull down missiles from Cuba.
*Mr Obama will do well to pull back from Europe,Japan to take advantage of Chinese soft stance, while it lasts.
*USA will be smart to leave Afghanistan before regiem change in Islamabad.
*World is sick and tired of $ infected with HIV of dead capitalism.Who wants to touch $ while China holds noose of USA Bond ,to be tightened, should US Admin decides to rewite the rulebook.
*USA will have to settle costs of 50,000 innocent lives,damage to its Economy, infrastrucutres, in the tune of more than $80,000,since Russian vacated Afghanistan.Bill is presented to the Bankrupt USA.
*Complaining about terrorist?Remember Bay of Pigs fiasco in Cuba...
*Pakis Army specialises in executing cost effective projects according to their abilities. That pains the West for its successes now...Pakis lost all the wars with India? It is not true because the USA stopped spare parts bought with hard cash ,just in time.
It will be a story of wargames if India decides,as it says, the place and time to challenge Pakistan.Egypt was churning Jewish Army into its meat grinder,recall Gen Shazli of 1967 when he was ordered to pull back by the USA.
*Yes, Pakis love and respect the Army because of its experience of running the country in all seasons.Pakis Nuclear capabilty must say a lot to you,eh...
Cheap Desi no good for you,but then,Whisky of Johnny Walker Brand is beyond starving Indians.
Now c'mon Inshai.
Respect from a Pakistani??
prove it first - stop killing the minorities. start with a lot more tolerance ( like towards the very hindus you still have)
Think it will ever happen ?? don't think so.
And also stop looking for a magic bullet like Imran Khan.
Magic bullets are prone to disappoint.
Oh really, TE? The Pak Army is "part of the problem" because the threat of a coup inspires corrupt politicians to grasp illegal cash faster than they otherwise would? Who on earth wrote that, and what editor let it through?
A coup may or may not be in Pakistan's best interests but the "reason" proposed by the writer is most definitely not on anyone's top 1,000,000 list.
In fact, given that the noun Pakistan now merely refers to a geography and in no way to a country, society, or any other form of collective social organization it's hard to argue that a military dictatorship would be a worse option than a continuation of the venal, corrupt and incompetent "democracy" the place currently labors under. If a military government can ease civilians away from increasingly radical Islamisation that would be a most welcome development. If it can't, at least it could try to keep the lid on for a while longer and - ideally - wind down the ISI's support for radical Islamic factions.
Admire your inbuilt hate for Islam and Muslims.How about winding down CIA,M15,M16.....
Jail hardend American spies,trained terrorist operated by USA contractors in China,India,Pakistan,Afghanistan.
Jahadis of Mali and from elsewhere are able to do their jobs,piles of the back side,the Islamist of Russian Brands still to perform, Mr Putins knows that,listen to his songs for Russian Muslims.
Algeria do not trust French or British since French rule...and rightly so.
Turkey is tired of NATO doing its errands while world watches burning Syria....West and the rest will have same gameplay with improvised script to suit theaters of wars....
Nouns as geographical names of the countries such as USA never existed before genocides of the Natives,West and the rest is mirage,therefore.
A never ending nightmare....for erstwhile Vietnam...thank God for China,made in China,not a noun or even a pronoun to reckon with? ehe OXO!....
The article is based on simple assumptions about Pakistan. Pakistan prospered under Musharraf, a military dictator. Under his watch, the country's GDP was growing at 7 percent on average in real terms.The country's GDP more than doubled during his government in spite of the crisis in the neighbouring Afghanistan. Inflation was single-digit and public revenues also increased very sharply. Investment in higher education was increased 7-folds by his government. So what's more? He was far better than the current so called "democratic" thugs.
It is very easy to criticize the army and the defense budget, but weighing in the reality of 80% of Indian army permanently close to Pakistan border, it leaves no choice.
In so far as civilian politics is concerned, winning a seat in parliament is a license to loot with complete impunity. The best one can say about so called Pakistani democracy is lootocracy.
Qadri wants electoral reforms; his main aim is to root out the corrupt and those tainted with debt defaults, which is almost 70% of MP's of both main parties. Will the corrupt legislators pass laws to root out corruption? This is the dilemma. It makes no difference whether army or the civilians rule the country; the later rob the state far more than the army.
"weighing in the reality of 80% of Indian army permanently close to Pakistan border, it leaves no choice."
Going by your distance scale for 'closeness', 100% of Pakistan itself is permanently close to Indian border. Just goes to remind me of importance of nice tall 24x7 electrified barbed fence at the Pakistan border.
Have you evidence for 24x7 Bijli in barbed wires?Pakis do not have power to lit a humble electric blub in villages.....Hidden mines on both sides that maims and kill innocent deserves to be publicised.It is so unfortunate this "Azadi"failed to change the Hindu-Muslim mind set.
Boast of Nuclear Missiles,Bombs,speech of turband Army chief to UNO peace corps,Dr M M Singh's partnership with Sonia Gandhi is long running serial opera while Swiss Accounts held by looters of both countries remains intact...Indo-Paki leaders looted public with skill...still thugging...shame on Indo-Pak so far...
My company does business in Pakistan (and in other countries as well). Pakistani generals are far more corrupt than your civilians.
Agreed Inshai, we all should be ashamed at the state of affairs. I hope someday better sense prevails.
My apologies for the barbed fence comment. Wrote it in the heat of the moment.
However, I don't agree with your view on Dr. MM Singh. He's one of the few clean & knowledgeable person in our polity (served at UNCTAD, was governor of the Indian Central Bank, then deputy chairman of Planning commission, as finance minister in early 90s he masterminded the economic recovery of the country right from brink of BoP disaster ).Those who have worked with him hold high regards for his work ethics, humility and honesty. You can check elsewhere about the person. Offcourse, he's no superman and is more of a technocrat than a grassroot leader. But going by the kind of grassroot leaders we have, I would vouch for people like him anyday.
Also, He's no war monger. Whatever he said, was bare minimum if one were to look at response of political leadership across the spectrum. If some Pakistanis find MMS as threatening, then I think they need to raise the threshold of threat.
Sonia is a different case altogether. I think most people already know about the details. So I'll not delve into it.
At least,hope is there in the souls of the same soil however divided it may become.
Mothers continue to smile who part with their soldiers sons,daughters.They share common pains,sorrows on both sides of battle lines drawn by the corrupt rulers.This amounts to double murder knowing their off shore Bank Accounts.
Erstwhile colonial rulers of the sub-continent were civilsed to share their vision in Education,Science,Technology,above all statecraft.Sadly,our corrupt rulers stole 60% of the wealth, hidden abroad.
Indeed, our priorities do need a serious makeover. Lives are being lost for futile reasons when there are so many better things to do.
But in my view, we need not be overtly pessimistic and fatalistic about our situation. Corruption has been a part of all transitional societies (those making transition from feudal agrarian informal structure to modern industrial formal ones; & from largely poor to largely middle class ones). There was no society in history that made a smooth corruption free transition (American spoils system was quite renowned so was buying & selling of lawmakers in Britain when these societies were making the transition). Not that I am justifying it, but there is very little one can do when traditional social norms ('tehzeeb'etc. in our case) break down but are not fully replaced by modern social norms (rational somewhat formal interactions) creating a question mark on what kind of behavior is socially acceptable and what is not. In such a situation, Corruption escapes the kind of social sanctions/ostracisation that it brings in some of the other advanced parts of the world. Without society's active involvement, no law however strict can be implemented and so legal anti-corruption machinery remains a paper tiger.
Also, a good majority of our people are not yet in a position or don't know how to enforce accountability on the part of Public servants and are not even aware of their legal rights & entitlements. Thus, There is no deterrence against corrupt officials & politicians. This forces even those public servants who would have been otherwise honest to join in plunder lest they be kicked out of brotherhood for their honesty or loose out in a free for all situation.
In Brief- Personalities are neither the core of problem nor the core of solution. Patience & not pessimism, Socio-economic transformation & not superheroes are core of the solution. The critical thing which our saner folks need to make sure is that at all the times, we move forward (people become richer, better educated, take jobs that are higher up the value chain) and not backward as prolonged misery have a tendency to make things even more worse by sparking ethnic/civil conflicts (Afghanistan being a prime example).
"the government spends around ten times as much on defence as on education."
Seems amiss. I quote:
"The Army's one-day spending is equivalent to the running
year's total allocation for education ministry, and the air-force's per day
expenditures far exceed what was allocated to the health ministry for running the
financial year.
How much is spent on the ISI, the premier intelligence agency, is anybody's
guess as the budgetary allocation for the agency is not included in the amount
specified for the armed forces"
Everything in this article is based on conjecture and wild guessing.
"Everything in this article is based on conjecture and wild guessing"
Everything in Pakistan is based on conjecture and wild guessing.
Only reality about that country is terrorism, fundamentalism and Jihadis.
I think that a coup is a wonderful idea. It will surely quicken up the process towards the stone age.
Remember the time when the army was responsible for the killing of 15% of it Sikh/Hindu population ( Ayub Khan)
Or when it was responsible for 4 million Bangladeshi (80% Hindu) or
It was responsible for the heavy introduction of Islam
Or for .the Kargil stupidity?
That army is responsible for all the good things that happen to India.
I seriously think that India should start another arms race with this country of peace and terrorism.
"A recent Pew survey found that Pakistanis are the least enthusiastic about democracy among six Muslim countries polled."
Perhaps thats why all it takes is a couple of trucks, some jeeps, a few dozen soldiers and a ride on the Constitution Avenue in Islamabad and you have got yourself a military coup. It does not even require brandishing a weapon or discharging a firearm. Islamabad willingly submits to 111 Brigade without even a hint of resistance.
As an outsider to the sub-continent, I find that there is so much hatred coming from Indian people about Pakistan. Frankly I interact with both nationalities - I find very little differences and more similarities - I have close friends in both the countries. However, if the hatred is so unbearable, why not invade Pakistan and end its existence for ever??? Just annex the territory - like Israel has done with Palestine. This is so much better than arms races and other counter-productive measures which are a waste of precious resources.
"Just annex the territory - like Israel has done with Palestine"
The last time we had a surgical operation of that scale (carving out of Pakistan), a million people died. And That was merely at the hands of ordinary folks armed with primitive things such as swords, stones, oil & match sticks.
The brutal fact is that there exist no surgical solutions to subcontinent's problems (including Kashmir valley). It'll only spark further genocide scale sectarian bloodbath whose flames would then again take decades to extinguish. Somalia/Afghanistan would be seem like a playride. We'll just have to learn to live with status quo. A bit of Hatred on blogs & comment pages on both ends is very small price to pay. We have seen far worse days.
As for arms race, Indians are in no arms race with Pakistan, you should better check the sizes (economy, population & territorial areas, border lengths) of the two countries, there can be no military parity b/w the two. The same could be said for India-China arms race. China is much bigger in territorial size, economy than India, so Indians don't seek or expect military parity with them. 'Deterrence' is the key word there. At the end of the day, one must live in reality.
If Pakistan prefers to live on grass, go hungry to keep parity with Indian military then that's their sovereign choice. Who are we or others to question?
"The brutal fact is that there exist no surgical solutions to subcontinent's problems" - your comment. In my view, partition was a huge mistake, committed by a crumbling British empire and poor leadership by both the Congress party and the Muslim League - there must be a way to eliminate and/or mitigate its consequences. Remember that after fighting 2 very bitter world wars, the EEC was created to promote European integration via economic (and cultural integration). And now - the French and the Germans live in complete harmony with open borders. Disputes are minor and relate to minor issues like butter quotas, bread labeling policies, etc. Similarly, in Asia, disputes can be easily resolved - vision and leadership is required. Will India (or China) be able to produce such leadership with a unifying vision for Asia??
And by the way, Israel-Palestine analogy is totally flawed. Both India and Pakistan are independent states with professional armies carry 'the bomb'. There is no planted population involved, both are natives. Besides, population and territories involved are not small dots on global map.
Just to be clear I am no war monger or hate preacher but more of a realist. Yes there is cultural similarity b/w the two of us & even larger subcontinent. But paradoxically, right from independence, this Cultural proximity has been part of the problem and not of the solution.
A naive suggestion for India.Must snatch back back"Chinese" Tibet first, must show its mettel to the Chinas now that they are world power...,sadly, it is beyond Hindu Bunyas while Turband Sikh would rather die for Hindus than saving Golden Temple.
Khalistan was cause for Khalsas.
So likeness of Muslims of Hindustan,devotees of one God with Dari, pious women observing strict purdah,hijab......separated in Gurodowaras for worship....excellent moral values than rapist Hindus.
If the French, Germans and the British could overcome their history (i.e., at war for over 4-5 centuries), then surely it can be done. Leadership with vision is needed - I refuse to believe that Asians cannot achieve with Europe has done - that would be inverted racism!!!
Have you ever traveled outside the sub-continent?? The world is full of diverse people with different beliefs. They work and play together - peacefully. Reason: except in a few sick countries (e.g., Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Israel, etc.), religion is kept inside the home and has nothing to do with the functioning of the state. The Indian sub-continent was a great place - e.g., in 1650, the GNP of the sub-continent was 28% of global GNP. Incidentally, China was 32% of global GNP around the same time. Europe was 14% of global GNP. The Brits came along and the Hindus and Muslims fell for their trap - i.e., the "politics of divide and rule". Wake up now - colonialism has ended a few centuries ago - people on both sides of your borders should realize that they have a common culture. They should enter the 21st century, in which mosques, temples, gurdowaras, churches, etc. have a very marginal role.
"Annex Pakistan". Just like that aye? I won't try to offend your sensibility by suggesting that you actually believe in the absurdity of your misguided statement, IF you will show return respect for ours. Surely you must have heard that Pakistan is a Prominent nuclear power, by now having forged ahead of UK - and with adequate missile delivery systems ranging far and wide. Have you any idea what this world, especially Asia would look and be like once the 'fallout' manifest in all forms (including but not ltd. to global economy) finally settles several decades later...?

Economics is the key variable during the past several decades. Pakistan will disintegrate because of economic failure. Ideology (particularly religion) is not a strong glue - e,g., the desire of the Bengali's to leave Pakistan. National identity is more important than religious identity - my friends in Punjab feel more at home in Amritsar and Delhi (Punjab-speaking places) then they do in Quetta and Larkana. Nuclear weapons cannot keep a country together. The Berlin wall came down without a single shot being fired. The entire USSR disintegrated without a single bullet being used. Your government has a very bad (and under-qualified) economic team.
No thank you...India has enough problems and corrupt leaders...invading Pakistan would simply add to that...what a crazy suggestion..
You have a very grand and noble vision my friend, so I won't refute you. Indeed one must not stop dreaming. But there is a very structural problem here- Pakistan's State ideology of Hindus and Muslims forming different nations (2-nation theory) is a direct anti-thesis of Secular Indian state. Unless it is dumped, I expect no fundamental shift in the things as they are now. Though I would be pleased if I am proved wrong some day.
Thank you. In the 21st century, national identity is much stronger than religious identity. There are very few exceptions to this rule - e.g., Israel, Northern Ireland, etc. It is all about the perception of achieving full rights - e.g., the current problems in Scotland, parts of Spain, etc. The partition screw-up was done primarily by the British, and the local leadership (except Gandhi) failed to stop it. The 2-nation theory is nonsense - in fact, the 3-nation or 4-nation theory makes more sense, if you look at the history of the sub-continent. A more united sub-continent is entirely possible (just like Europe) if regions are given more power and the central government is confederal in nature. In the rest of Asia, religion is a losing ground very rapidly.
Nawaz Sharif has multiple term as Prime Minister to cement his reputation as a corrupt, retrograde and demagogic leader and clueless Administrator. The Economist is being disingenuous at best to expect ANY IMPROVEMENT under this leadership. Pakistan is on a steady course of disintegration and the ONLY thing holding it together is the Nuclear Armed military. At some point even the military will be unable to hold the country together either directly or indirectly. That will be the time of very great nuclear danger. A wise and responsible military would be quietly DISMANTLING the super weapons the country can't afford to lose to lunatics but it is instead building them up for a real existential crises.
The military fears Nawaz Sharif more than the current govt, because Sharif is based in Punjab, which is the dominant central core of Pakistan. His PML-N have a more solid political base than the PPP, and could possibly move to clip the military's wings. Nawaz Sharif's elected govt was ousted by army chief Musharraf in a military coup that sent Nawaz Sharif into temporary exile. So currently, there's no love lost between the Sharifs and the military.
As for corruption, the army and their empire of business interests are no strangers to corruption. Given that the military has ruled Pakistan for most of the country's existence, the poor state of Pakistan's health can easily be laid at their doorstep.
Pakistan's governance has been so dismal under civilian and military rulers that ANY criticism or even denunciation of ANY political or military personality or institution would be well founded! The least worst alternative is ALL there is. That is unlikely to be enough whatever it is to reverse national breakup. The Punjab is the most cohesive of Pakistan's ill fitted parts. Maybe a mini-Pakistan will consist of the Punjab, the Sind and the major urban centers.
A new elected government of Nawaz Sharif will be of no consolation to most of the public. He already is in power for last 5 years in Punjab province and their government has not done much to improve the economy and well being of the public. If a new government is the continuation of the same elite which considers themselves above the law and lives a posh life on the public funds then people have all the rights to question the merits of such shame democracy.
Its not the army which has destroyed the democracy. Its the so called corrupt elite who is championing democracy to extend their rule that has damaged the democracy.
At the end the governance system which solves people's problems will be the winner.
The system of governance which solves people's problems will not be the one under rulers without accountability. That's exactly what military rule is, which certainly explains why a Pakistan which has mostly been ruled by generals is in such poor shape today.
I agree. Providing transparency and accountability is key to any system. People in this country need rule of law, right to be able to live peacefully and with dignity, all of this they are currently deprived of. Democracy can work in this country but only the leaders who are above petty vested interests can make it happen and unfortunately I don't see any in current ruling establishment. Because these political parties have vested interests they want to stay in power, they will try to do everything to keep the course.
People may disagree, but Pakistan prospered under the first few years of Musharaf's rule. Problems arose when Musharaf started gathering all corrupt politicians under him to get some sense of legibility for his rule. He did not transfer the power voluntarily and thus country lost all the gains which were achieved under his rule.
Unfortunately the same people who gathered around Musharraf also surrounded PPP (Zardari) and continued the same cycle of governance. Problem is that if army comes to power again, it will be surrounded by the same people (like MQM, Chaudries etc) who have no morals.
I agree, I was in Pakistan the year before Musharraf, when he came to power and just after he left power. I definitely felt Pakistan was doing better during his initial years, definitely felt safer being there.
I believe Musharraf managed to keep control of the right wing groups and at the same time let the country prosper during this short time.
All the gains achieved slowly withered away once he started looking for legitimacy by joining power with the political parties. The greatest mistake was allowing Bhutto back into the country which followed with the Zardari reign.
I recall a short conversation with a shop keeper, he came up to me and said "son your from London, and you come here often, do you think we made a mistake by electing PPP, I think we did?", and this is a month after Zardari had come into power. I thought to myself that says it all.
I also believe Musharraf gave more democratic power to the people than the so called parties have ever done.
The "Democratic" parties have always looked out for themselves and the next generation (maybe it should be brought into law, no family member can run for office within 2 generations of the last and must hold a degree), and they do not think twice about the common man on the ground who is struggling to earn enough to buy food and fuel.
As for the marches - i believe - most of the time it is a paid crowd who do all the chanting with curious people in the background following them like lemmings.
With regards to J. Iftikar Chaudhry, i think he was short sighted with regards to the democratic reality, i do believe his heart was in the right place. e.g he was correct to fight for the rule of law and against corruption, but for elections to be initiated at that stage was silly as no viable candidate were able to make their names known, so the usual suspects came to power.
I like Shoaibs idea, shorten the term and make governments more accountable and transparent, the question is to whom? Also bring in law re family members taking office.
A nuclear winter may be an improvement.
Sure,Nuclear Winter itching India to choose time and place to launch full scale war with Pakistan.
This wiil hide Hindustan's internal maladies of poverty,corruption,food shortages,famine.....Naxalite,Maoist will have field day to improve their victory maps.
Recent musings by the Indian PM M M Singh and Army Chief for Pakistan reveals internal rag tag nature of Hindustan.
Not measuring up to the West's expectation as match for China ,India, needs a battle front else where, be it Pakistan because China has already beaten it on all fronts....
I started reading your comment with an open mind until I got to your word "Hindustan", meaning India. Whopper os a give away to spot a Paki Islamic Shill.
Needless to say, no further reading!
Thanks for noticing,surely evil can not be examined scientifically,Hindustan up till the divide was language of endearment for Poets,Writers,Artists and others..... of all persuasions,faiths...
Meaningless comment - no value added.
Your post is quite delusional..a nervous ramble of one of the few across the border who share this paranoia that all Indians including the Indian Govt. have nothing better to do than start preparing to invade Pakistan. Believe me its the furtherest thing from most people's mind in India...too many other problems to bother about the problems of another country.
Frankly we couldn't be bothered..
Whatever little India has achieved in the last few years...it has achieved on an economic front because of simple hard work and some common sense finally coming into the heads of a few Indian leaders.
We'd rather build on that than spend time worrying about Pakistan, China..or any country for that matter
My post only reported what came out of the horse's mouth.People struggling to earn next meal for their family must be hard done by.
Yes, India has grown bigger claws and teeth to bully around except able to feed its people.
Economic achievement of India are hyped by the West as concerted ploy.India is mirage,hallucination of the masses through starvation...genocide by other means,
Sorry your comment does not warrant any further reply.
Sorry your comment does not warrant any further reply.
Itchy fingers,Eczema?
Dude, learn some English grammar and grow some brains, reading your drivel is making me puke.
I was in Pakistan during and after Pervez Musharraf's 'coup'. The country became more stable and the economy improved during his rule. It certainly was safer...
Then why were people marching in the streets calling for Musharraf to get out of Pakistan? Why were people loudly cheering for Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry, whom Musharraf had arrested?
Pakistanis seem to suffer from notoriously short memories. They seldom remember what they themselves were loudly hollering for even just a couple of years earlier. If you can't remember the past, then how can you build a future?
Let's take a look at that double-talking Mullah Qadri:
Question: How can you tell when Mullah Qadri is lying?
Answer: His lips move.
I think you are simplifying this. Country was already safe during the first few years of Musharaf's rule and economy did improve. But it was his politics and desire to stay in power which took all the gains away. We know it takes a lot of time to build a home but not much time to destroy.
Things were not easy when PPP govt. came, we all know that. Problem is that they did an even more abysmal job. Mismanagement and corruption is even greater.
I think we just need to trust the people of Pakistan this time and let them elect a new government. They are the ones who suffer under these governments. If they elect the corrupt again, they will suffer again.
We just need to make sure that the elections are not a fraud and they are fair. Supreme court has asked the government to make voting as mandatory. It will be a great thing if it can be implemented. Also if we can shorten the government term from 5 years to perhaps 3-4 years, I think it will put more pressure on Governments to perform and also give more opportunity to people.
I agree, I was in Pakistan the year before Musharraf, when he came to power and just after he left power. I definitely felt Pakistan was doing better during his initial years, definitely felt safer being there.

1940 Ford Standard Convertible - Above Standard
Written by on September 1, 2010 Mickey And Vicki Smith's '40 Ford Standard ConvertibleThough he'd built many different types of cars in the past 30 years, Mickey Smith, from Roland, Arkansas, wasn't going to ignore the wishes of his wife, Vicki, when she told him the type of car she'd like to have herself. It's a wise hot rodder who listens to a spouse's suggestions but, in this case, Vicki wanted something besides a typical 1-800-type hot rod.
Vicki had found what she liked-a '40 Ford convertible-and Mickey set out to find one (not the easiest thing to do). But he'd remembered hearing about just such a car 10 years earlier and, as luck would have it, it was available. Ron Schmidtz, a rodder in Ohio, had what Mickey was looking for, and he was told the car had once been owned by Jim "Jake" Jacobs of Pete & Jakes fame. But the most unique feature on the car was it had a '40 Standard nose when every other '40 convertible typically had the factory DeLuxe trim design. (The main difference between the two is in the grille: the DeLuxe uses horizontal bars in a two-step design and the Standard uses singular vertical bars, much like those found on a '39 DeLuxe). Mickey used to own a '40 Ford truck that he'd converted to a Standard layout, so he was familiar with the concept, but the Standard grille on the '40 convertible was a new one for him. The car was a runner/driver and, at first, Mickey was just going to go through it and clean it up a bit, but, as any rodder will tell you, that just never happens in real life!
Mickey started taking the car apart, detailing and painting things as he went. With a wheelbase of 112 inches the chassis is original, but fully boxed. Up front a Kugel independent suspension was used (with 2-inch drop spindles) while RideTech airbags were used on each corner. Mickey also contacted Wheel Smith in Santa Ana, California, for a unique set of wire wheels, 17x7 up front and 18x8 out back (the 18s were the first set of that diameter Wheel Smith made). The wheels are wrapped in Goodyear Eagle 215/45-17 and 235/50-18 skins.
The drivetrain consists of a 700-R4 trans, which was prepped by Bowler Transmissions in Lawrenceville, Illinois. The engine is a small-block Chevrolet that has been bumped to 383 inches via an Eagle crank, stock rods, and J&E pistons (10.5:1). A COMP Cams roller camshaft was also used, as was an Edelbrock Performer manifold and polished heads topped by a Barry Grant six-shooter induction with a trio of O'Brien Trucker aluminum air cleaners. A Tuff Stuff water pump, a cooling fan from Air Mobile, and electronics from MSD make up the rest of the build sheet.
Besides the previously noted Standard nose, the body also benefited from a 2-inch chop, a smoothed trunk, and a firewall that was recessed 3 inches. Smitty's Custom Automotive in Tiffin, Ohio, had done the original nose transplant, and had painted the car its DuPont burgundy hue, too, but during the redo Robert Roland (from Little Rock's Custom Royale) repainted the front fenders, and the owner painted the running boards, trunk, and hood as well as sanded and buffed the entire car.
Inside the cockpit Mickey started with Hushmat insulation before Krist Kustoms in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, laid out the tan wool carpet. Krist also stitched up the bench seat and door panels with tan leather-a great contrast to the car's color. The dash is basically stock, but with a second speaker grille added to a center console to hide the JVC stereo system. Painless Wiring was used to wire up the VDO gauges set in the aluminum gauge panel, and a Billet Specialties banjo steering wheel is coupled to a chrome ididit steering column. To keep Vicki cool, a Vintage Air climate control system was also added to the convertible.
It's safe to say the idea of a quick go-through was abandoned as soon as Mickey started messing around with the car. But Vicki and Mickey know they ended up with something very special. Not only are the Smiths satisfied with the way it turned out, but the 'vert has picked up a few awards along the way, too, including a STREET RODDER Top 100 pick at the Goodguys Ft. Worth show in 2009. The pair will be showing the car more in 2010 before they start to use it as it was originally intended: a great summertime cruiser.

galactosylceramidase (GALC). This enzyme deficiency results in defective myelin, the covering that insulates many nerves. Krabbe disease is considered part of a group of disorders known as leukodystrophies, which result from the imperfect growth and development of myelin. Krabbe disease usually begins before the age of 1 year (early-onset form). Initial signs and symptoms often include feeding difficulties, episodes of unexplained fever, stiff posture, and developmental delay. As the disease progresses, muscles continue to weaken, affecting the infant's ability to move, chew, swallow, and breathe. Affected infants also experience vision loss and intellectual disability. Less commonly, onset can occur later in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood (late-onset form). Krabbe disease is caused by mutations in the GALC gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.[1]

Rick Bayless
Award-winning chef-restaurateur, cookbook author, and television personality Rick Bayless has done more than any other culinary star to introduce Americans to authentic Mexican cuisine and to change the image of Mexican food in America.Rick is fourth generation in an Oklahoma family of restaurateurs and grocers. From 1980 to 1986, after studying Spanish and Latin American Studies as an undergraduate, and doing doctoral work in Anthropological Linguistics at the University of Michigan, Rick lived in Mexico with his wife, Deann, writing his now-classic Authentic Mexican: Regional Cooking From The Heart of Mexico (William Morrow, 1987). The New York Times's legendary Craig Claiborne hailed this work as the "greatest contribution to the Mexican table imaginable."
In 1996, Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen: Capturing the Vibrant Flavors of a World-Class Cuisine (Scribner) won the IACP National Julia Child "Cookbook of the Year Award". The New York Times praised him as a writer who makes "true Mexican food user-friendly for Americans," and Time magazine hailed him as a "cookbook superstar." Rick's cookbook Salsas That Cook (Simon & Schuster), written with his wife, Deann, and JeanMarie Brownson, was published in 1999. At the 2001 James Beard Awards (the culinary equivalent of the Oscars), Mexico–One Plate at a Time, (Scribner) companion to the first season of the public television series by the same name , was singled out as the "Best International Cookbook."
In 1987, Rick opened the hugely successful Frontera Grill, which specializes in contemporary regional Mexican cooking. Still today it remains one of Chicago's hottest dining spots. In 1988, Food & Wine magazine selected Rick as "Best New Chef of The Year," and in 1991, he won a James Beard Award for "Best American Chef: Midwest." In 1995, he won another James Beard Award for "National Chef of the Year" as well as an award for "Chef of the Year" from the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP). In 1998, the Beard Foundation honored Rick as "Humanitarian of the Year." In 2002, Bon App�tit honored him with the "Cooking Teacher of the Year Award".
On the heels of Frontera Grill's success, Rick opened the elegant Topolobampo in 1989. Adjacent to Frontera Grill, Tobolobampo is one of America's only fine-dining Mexican restaurants. Frontera Grill and Topolobampo have received glowing distinctions from such publications as Gourmet, Food & Wine, Bon App�tit, Atlantic Monthly, Cond� Nast Traveler, Zagat's, The Wine Spectator, USA Today, Chicago Magazine and The Chicago Tribune. Topolobampo has been nominated twice by the James Beard Foundation as one of the most outstanding restaurants in our country.
In 1996, Rick began the prepared food line of salsas, chips, and grilling rubs under the Frontera Foods label. Frontera Foods went on to open Frontera Fresco—a food kiosk in the historic Marshall Fields (now Macy's) building in 2005 in Chicago.
Rick resides in Chicago with his wife and daughter. With his wife he runs Frontera Grill and Topolobampo. He is the founder of the Frontera Farmer Foundation, an organization that supports small local farmers and has been active in Share Our Strength, the nation's largest hunger advocacy organization.
Rick is a restaurant consultant, teaches authentic Mexican cooking throughout the United States (he is a visiting staff member at the Culinary Institute of America), and leads cooking and cultural tours to Mexico.
Mexico—One Plate at a Time is currently airs on public television stations and Create TV. His cookbook with his 15 year old daughter, Lanie, titled Rick and Lanie's Excellent Kitchen Adventures, was nominated for a James Beard Award as well as Rick's sixth cookbook, Mexican Everyday.

Gluten-free peanut stir-fry sauce- easy to make.
Peanut sauce stir-fry? Yes, please. Spicy peanut sauce is one of my favorite comfort foods. Maybe even in my all-time top ten. The last time I stirred up this peanut sauce we were watching episode 5 of Brideshead Revisited- the most dread inducing episode when it's clear that poor, sweet Sebastian is clinically depressed and Mummy Marchmain (aka the Velvet Hammer) is determined to crush his spirit for propriety's sake. Steve and I were sighing audibly, rooting for dear Sebastian, hoping against hope he would somehow summon the courage to break free from Mummy and stop self medicating as we chop-sticked our way through this lip-smacking bowl of peanutty goodness.
And as we each consumed the last delectable morsels on our licked clean plates we agreed. We just knew this dish would have perked up Sebastian. And Charles, too, for that matter. Nothing like a spicy peanut sauce to fortify you and return some bloom to wan, stoic cheeks.
In need of said fortification but allergic to peanuts, Darling? Don't fret. Substitute Sunbutter in this recipe. Sunflower seed butter has a roasted nut flavor that is delicious in Asian style sauces. [I find it at Whole Foods and Wild Oats.]
So if you're suddenly struck (as I, too often, am) by a craving for peanut stir-fry, imagining tender sweet mouthfuls of crisp broccoli, elegant red pepper strips and slender chicken pieces all commingling happily in an earthy, garlicky peanut sauce, don't worry. I've got you covered. It doesn't get much better than this easy recipe.
Even Sebastian's teddy, Aloysius, could whip this up.
Peanut Chicken Stir-Fry Recipe
Peanut sauce is an easy sauce to make. I rarely measure when I put it all together. I have given measured amounts here, but sauces like this are not a science. Taste-testing is the only way to balance the salty, sweet, spicy, creamy flavors properly. So, please. As always. Taste test, won't you?
You'll need:
You'll need:
2 1/2 to 3 cups cooked brown rice- put the rice on while you prepare the stir-fry
For the stir-fry:
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon red or green Thai Kitchen curry paste- hot or mild, to taste (start with less if you prefer it mild)
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 red onion, sliced or diced, as you like it
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2-3 cups chicken pieces- if using raw chicken, take proper handling precautions
2 cups broccoli florets
1 large red bell pepper, cored, sliced thinly
2 medium carrots, cut into matchsticks
2 cups thinly shredded cabbage (save time and use bagged slaw)
For the sauce combine:
1 1/2 cups hot gluten-free chicken broth
4-5 tablespoons smooth natural peanut butter (sugar-free, of course)
1 tablespoon wheat-free Tamari sauce or balsamic vinegar for soy-free
Juice from one fresh lime
Pinch of spicy red pepper flakes, for extra heat, to taste
When the rice is almost done, heat the oil over medium-high heat in a wok (or large deep sided skillet) and stir in the curry paste and ginger; cook for a minute to infuse the oil. Add in the onion and cook for 5 minutes, till softened. Add the garlic and chicken and stir-fry briefly till it starts to turn a bit golden. Toss in the veggies and do some more stirring.
After a minute or two, add the peanut sauce [you've tasted it, right?] and continue to stir and cook until the chicken is done (no longer pink inside) and the veggies are tender-crisp. Don't overcook- stir-fried veggies are best with a fresh, slightly crisp bite- but you know that, right? Fluff the rice and divide between 4 warmed bowls. Spoon the peanut chicken and vegetables on top. Get every last drop of the sauce.
Serves 4.
Karina's Notes:
If you are allergic to soy, skip the wheat-free Tamari sauce and use balsamic vinegar and a dab of molasses instead.
Use Sunbutter (from sunflower seeds) or cashew butter instead of peanut butter if you are avoiding peanuts.
Thanks to Kalyn for this low glycemic index tip: Sugar-free peanut butter and a half cup brown rice per serving makes this a lower carb dish for those limiting carbs in the South Beach Diet.
This recipe was included in Simply Recipes Low Carb Round Up - Week 3

The closing hole has become a 465-yard challenge with the extension of the tee in 2002. An accurate drive is a must, and an expanded bunker complex requires a clout of 335 yards to carry. Trees to the left of the bunkers prevent a bailout on that side, and the elevated green is guarded by bunkers.

About the plant
Spot it on the course
Where and how the plant grows
1. "Dr. Mackenzie and I believe that no good golf hole exists that does not afford a proper and convenient solution to the average golfer and the short player, as well as to the more powerful and accurate expert."
2. "We have always felt that the make-or-break character of many of the holes of our second nine has been largely responsible for rewarding our spectators with so many dramatic finishes. It has always been a nine that could be played in the low thirties or the middle forties."
Bobby Jones Quotes: video | photos
1. "There should be little walking between the greens and tees, and the course should be arranged so that in the first instance there is always a slight walk forwards from the green to the next tee; then the holes are sufficiently elastic to be lengthened in the future if necessary."
2. "There should be a minimum of blindness for the approach shots."
3. "There should be a sufficient number of heroic carries from the tee, but the course should be arranged so that the weaker player with the loss of a stroke or portion of a stroke shall always have an alternative route open to him."
In July 1931, banner headlines in newspapers across the country trumpeted the news: Bobby Jones was building a course in Augusta, and Alister MacKenzie would be the primary architect.
The groundwork for Gene Sarazen's double eagle at the 1935 Masters - and all of the memorable shots and drama that have followed - was laid by Bobby Jones and tournament co-founder Clifford Roberts a few months earlier. They reversed the nines.

Big Investors Struggle to Break Jim Balsillie's Grip on RIM's Board

Despite struggles, board has taken no decisive action to try to promote change
Reportedly, Canada's Research in Motion, Ltd. (
)'s co-CEOs/Chairman have ensorcelled their company's board members to the point where they've become almost unable to speak up against the pair. As a result the board has remained silent and submissive, even as RIM has seen its financial fortunes slide perilously in the wrong direction.
I. A Need For Change
The Wall Street Journal
, though, is reporting that some of the company's biggest investors have quietly joined calls for the board of directors to take drastic action -- either to
sell the company
or to wipe the management slate clean.
So far the noisiest
complaints had
come from Jaguar Financial Corp.
, a Toronto merchant bank who invested in RIM in hopes of forcing either a sale or a turnaround via a change in management.
Over the course of the last several months, RIM's efforts have unfolded like a train wreck:
Oct. 10-13
RIM experiences
a major service outage
, leaving customers without messaging.
Oct. 17
RIM offers
free premium apps as apology
Oct. 18
unveils its great OS hope
, "BBX", a new smartphone OS based on QNX.
Oct. 21
News arrives that
RIM has been sued
for scooping the name from an American software company's trademarked and active product.
Nov. 25
At the debut of the BlackBerry Bold 9790, RIM's employees offer a 50 percent discount to the first 1,000 customers in Jakarta, Indonesia, provoking a riot. Many are injured and RIM employees are arrested.
Nov. 28
Inebriated RIM employees
, representing their company on business, start a physical fight with flight attendants, forcing the flight to be diverted to Vancouver, off its course to Beijing. RIM apologies and fires the pair.
Nov. 30
security is breached
allow jailbreaks, and raising concerns about BBX
Dec. 2
RIM announces
it will miss its Q3 2012 revenue outlook
due to poor QNX (PlayBook) tablet sales.
Dec. 7
More flaws in QNX's security are revealed,
hackers defeat
RIM's feeble patching attempt.
Dec. 8
RIM is barred from using the trademarked "BBX", is forced to rename operating system to "BlackBerry 10".
Dec. 14
The NPD Group reports that RIM is fading fast in sales and only has an
8 percent market share
in the U.S., down from its peak of almost 50 percent.
Dec. 16
Earnings targets are missed and the next generation
BlackBerry 10 operating system is delayed
due ostensibly to RIM's lofty goals for LTE performance.
Dec. 23
The Globe and Mail
reports that RIM is preparing for a Jan. 11 hearing over whether it
stole the trademarked acronym BBM
from a Canadian broadcast advocacy who used the term for six decades.

About the lone positive news over this period has been the minor pickup in the company's stock on Dec. 21, which came thanks to reports that multiple companies were investigating a RIM acquisition.
II. RIM's Management Has Tightly Controlled Company, Board
Currently RIM has a very unusual executive management structure, which some blame for its problems. Company co-founders Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis share the CEO and Chairman position, refusing to allow fresh blood to step in. Of the pair, Mr. Balsillie tends to focus on finances, while Mr. Lazaridis focuses on engineering.
In June RIM agreed to review its management structure, but there's been no action from the company's board thus far. A final analysis, reportedly, may arrive next month, potentially prompting some sort of action.
Investors are focusing their efforts on RIM's contingent of independent directors. These members mostly arrived in the wake of a 2007 stock backdating scandal, which led to fines and penalties from the Ontario Securities Commission and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. At the time the fresh blood forced company co-founder Jim Balsillie to step down from the role of Chairman, hoping to subsequently push co-founder Mike Lazaridis out of the CEO spot. Instead, after a year Jim Balsillie was back as a chairman and Mr. Lazaridis and Balsillie's unusual joint CEO/chairman scheme was restored.
Leading the coalition of independent directors is Barbara Stymest, former Toronto Stock Exchange CEO and executive at the Royal Bank of Canada (
), the nation's top lender. Another prominent director is Roger Martin dean of the University of Toronto's and author of a popular book on how directors should take lessons from the NFL, acting in a greater corporate activist capacity.
Mr. Martin wrote in his book, "[Board members] can choose to accept a check-the-box meeting, or they can rise above it and focus on doing their important public-service job: helping their company to perform well."
Ironically both Mr. Martin and Ms. Stymest appear to have given RIM's struggling leadership a check-the-box sort of approval. Reportedly, Mr. Balsillie's control over the board is particularly powerful and he has blocked other top-level executives from getting access to the board, in an effort to consolidate his and Mr. Lazardis' power.

But how long the pair will remain silent and submissive remains to be seen considering that the negativity surrounding RIM is starting to rub off on their reputations. The WSJ quotes an executive at one of RIM's top investors, "It would seem to be a joke to have two people on the board who claim to be experts in corporate governance."

RE: really?
The other guy isnt so great either. Lazardis. They , thier names, and actions really are like dopey and sleepy dwarfs. Except, if memory serves, when the chips were down, the dwarfs stepped up. These 2 jokers are just playing on and on while the ship sinks.
