25.06.2012 /
Four times Dakar winner Marc Coma has spent the first two days of the Sardinia Rally Race, the third of the four round 2012 World Cross Country Rally Championship to consolidate his position near the front of the pack.
The Spanish KTM factory rider was third after the opening day and moved to second place overall today. He now trails the current leader Jordi Villadoms, another Spanish KTM rider by 5:30 minutes. The leader after the first day, Alessandro Botturi of Italy has dropped to third while Marc Coma's main rival, Yamaha rider Helder Rodrigues of Portugal is now fourth and has made a good recovery after being back in the field in day one.
Coma admitted after day two that he had some difficulties in the off piste sections and made some navigation errors that cost him time. He also said he was having some grip problems and admitted he would have to push hard on day three to put himself in an advantageous position for the rest of the event.
Coma is a rider who plays his cards close to the chest. Navigation and tactics play an important role in this rally, but these are skills that Coma has in abundance. The terrain is quite dramatically different from the earlier rounds of the championship, both of which have been won by Coma. The difference here is that Coma has left his KTM 450 Rally bike at home and is instead on a KTM 450 EXC, the same Enduro bike used by E2 KTM factory rider Johnny Aubert, considered to be better suits the range of terrain that this rally offers.
Riders embarked on the opening stages on Monday in blazing heat to complete the circular leg of 325 km starting and finishing in on San Teodoro. Coma started at third and was content to play the role of master tactician. Meanwhile his Dakar 'water carrier' Joan Pedrero and teammate Ruben Faria of Portugal complete the official KTM factory lineup in the rally and after day one were at five and seven in a cluster of six of the lead group within 3:30 minutes of each other on day one. After day two they had dropped to positions eight and ten.
Unluckier was KTM regular Jakub 'Kuba' Przygoński who had a minor crash on day One while checking his road book at high speed finished back at ninth. He lost time but was uninjured to be quite satisfied with his result and on Monday drifted further down the order. The opening day gave KTM eight of the top ten spots, seven of which they still had after the second day!
After winning the first two rallies in the championship, Coma does have a theoretical mathematical chance of taking the title but he does have another chance in Round 4 later this year, the final in the series.

Long time iMore (TiPB) reader and forum member. This is the first giveaway I've entered so I hope I win. Anyways, here's what I would like to enter for, what color I would like if I win, and why I would like to win. Again, I hope I win. Thanks iMore Staff.
I would like a (PRODUCT) RED iPod touch 5th generation please. I want the (PRODUCT) RED because it helps fund things in Africa like AIDS. I would also like one because I have never owned an iPod touch. I also need it because my school has switched to all Apple products and having an iPod touch for researching information could be useful at my school. Also, I could download the iMore app and read many articles from iMore. My school also has Google Drive so I could type well with the new large display. I am 11 years old and would like this iPod very bad because my family is poor.
If I am chosen to get the new iPod nano, I would like the (PRODUCT) RED version also so I would be donating to Africa to help out AIDS also. An iPod nano would be great so I could listen to music a lot when I am on field trips at school with long drives.
Thanks so much iMore staff. I hope I win one of the iPods.

Veteran Garza faces rookie Bolsinger in series opener
Brewers own a 9-6 record at home; D-backs are 8-8 on the road
The Brewers and Diamondbacks' series opener at Miller Park on Monday features a matchup of an experienced pitcher looking to get back on track and a newcomer in search of his second win in his last three starts.
On the Brewers' side, there is right-hander Matt Garza, who has allowed four or more runs in three of his six starts this year. That includes his most recent outing, an abbreviated start in St. Louis during which he allowed five runs over three frames before leaving with a bruised right thumb he suffered while batting. He'll open the series Monday seemingly in good health.
Garza will be opposed by Mike Bolsinger, who has no career appearances vs. Milwaukee. In his most recent start on April 29 vs. the Rockies, the right-hander allowed four earned runs over five innings.
Here's a cool factoid about the rookie right-hander: He grew up down the street from Wrigley Field, and that's where he earned his first big league win. He threw 6 2/3 shutout innings in a winning effort on April 24.
For the D-backs, their early-season struggles have been partly due to ineffective starting pitching. A couple of recent performances, however, have given them reason for optimism and could partly explain Arizona's recent string of wins.
Specifically, Bronson Arroyo, who will take the mound in the finale in Milwaukee on Wednesday, has had two good outings in a row, allowing two earned runs over a combined 13 2/3 innings. He had allowed 14 runs over his prior two starts.
Arroyo's ineffectiveness wasn't exclusive to just him. Bad starting pitching was a team-wide issue, one that appears to be in the process of being rectified.
Just ask Brandon McCarthy, another D-backs veteran getting on track after an abysmal start.
"It's just nice to be contributing," he said. "I know for me and for Bronson, it's a relief when you're not the goat every time out. We're back to a place where we're throwing well and getting consistent outings from the starting pitching and we're kind of settled back into that part of the season. We're not winning or losing games anymore in the first or second inning because we've given up so many. Now, it's just being able to battle for nine innings and I think we're doing a better job of that."
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke would like to see the kind of consistency from Garza that he had a few years ago with the Rays. While he has shown flashes of his old self, the Brewers are still waiting for him to string together several quality starts in a row.
"This is a guy that every time we faced him -- and I coached against him for a long time, when he was in Tampa -- this is a guy that gets after it," Roenicke said. "When he gets after it, you're going to have a tough time. He hasn't gotten in that groove yet. First game of the season, fantastic. Since then, it's been off and on.
"Whether it's just physically, the combination with his delivery, and then the mental part of being aggressive ... he needs to get back to the guy he is."
D-backs: Owings carries aggressiveness into big leagues
In the first two games of the series with the Padres, shortstop Chris Owings managed to take the extra bases on San Diego outfielders.
Owings spends time practicing running the bases each day trying to improve the way he rounds the bases and working on getting even more proficient in reading whether balls will fall into the outfield.
Since coming up from Triple-A Reno last September, Owings has adjusted along with the new level.
"I feel like I've been an aggressive baserunner my whole career," Owings said. "Just playing the game hard is what it really boils down to. Just take the extra base when it's there. Obviously it's a little different up here with better arms."
Brewers: Garza has good history vs. D-backs
Facing Arizona may be just what Garza needs to get back on track. In four career starts against the Diamondbacks, he is 3-1 with a 2.48 ERA. He's allowed eight earned runs over 29 innings.
He faced the Diamondbacks once in 2013, earning the win on May 31 while with the Cubs. He allowed two runs over seven innings with four strikeouts in a 3-1 Cubs win.
Worth noting:
• Brewers infielder Mark Reynolds has hit 192 homers since 2008, ranking fifth in the Majors among active players during that span.
• Every position in the Brewers' lineup has involved at least two players except for the leadoff spot. Center fielder Carlos Gomez has played every game this season and has led off each time.
• The Brewers are 9-6 at Miller Park this season while the D-backs have played a lot better on the road than at home. They are 8-8 on the road as opposed to 3-15 at home, which includes the two games against the Dodgers in Australia.

Two pitchers strong of late, Deduno takes on Hughes
Twins look to draw even after Yankees take opener of four-game set
Ron Gardenhire wasn't placing too much stock in the Yankees' recent skid. Even though New York had lost five straight and six of its past seven entering Monday's game, the Twins' manager maintained that "they are the Yankees."
They showed it on Monday. After allowing three runs in the first inning and falling behind by a run in the sixth inning, the Yankees stormed back to score seven runs in the final two innings to defeat Minnesota, 10-4.
"They've got some guys that have been around the league a bit from other ballclubs that they've kind of put together. They've been battling pretty good," Gardenhire said. "They're always tough. They know how to play. They come and they prepare very well so we have to play really good."
The Twins will hope to get that good performance their manager is looking for on Tuesday with Samuel Deduno on the mound. The young right-hander has pitched well of late, allowing two earned runs or less in five of his past six starts.
Gardenhire credits Deduno's recent success to his ability to limit walks. After handing out 10 free passes in his first four starts this season, Deduno has walked just four batters over his past three.
"I think commanding his fastball better," Gardenhire said. "We all know he can throw the breaking ball, and that's what he'd always go to when he'd get behind because he couldn't always get his fastball."
The Yankees will counter with Phil Hughes, who is coming off one of his best starts of the season. The right-hander threw eight innings of two-run ball against the Rangers on Thursday, taking a tough-luck loss as the Yankees' failed to scratch across any runs in support.
There has been speculation that Hughes could lose his spot in the rotation with Ivan Nova pitching well and Michael Pineda working his way through a rehab assignment, but manager Joe Girardi said on Monday that he hope Hughes "gets on a roll here." He has been inconsistent this season -- he's allowed four or more runs in six of his 15 starts this season -- but his ability to shut down a dangerous Texas offense dispelled some concerns.
Hughes is 2-1 with a 3.33 ERA in four career starts against the Twins.
"Every time I take the ball, I just clear my head and go out there and do the best job I possibly can," Hughes said on Thursday. "I really don't let talk and things like that creep into my head, so I guess it takes some experience and going through it to handle that stuff better. It's really not an issue."
Yankees: Cano scorching on road trip
• Robinson Cano has been a nightmare to opposing pitchers on the Yankees' current road trip. The second baseman is 10-for-17 at the plate through four games of the team's seven-game trip, with three home runs and five RBIs.
The surge ends the slugger's recent cold streak at the plate. Cano had been batting just .229 in the 12 games entering the Yankees' series against the Orioles over the weekend.
"You know that eventually he's going to get hot again, that's the bottom line," Girardi said. "He swung the bat very well in Baltimore."
Twins: Slump continues for Mauer
• Twins catcher Joe Mauer has been battling mild soreness and flu-like symptoms over the past few days, and it's shown at the plate. The .320 hitter was in the midst of an 0-for-15 stretch over his past four games, and Gardenhire gave him a day off on Monday.
Mauer extended his hitless streak in the eighth inning, pinch-hitting for third baseman Jamie Carroll and striking out swinging with a runner on second base and one out in a two-run game.
"I'm all right," Mauer said. "I'm just a little beat up and under the weather. I came in ready to go, but today was just a good day to take a breather here. I don't know if it's allergies or what going around the clubhouse but it's found its way to me, too."

Although some mothers may want to keep their babies in bed with them to make breastfeeding more convenient at night, cosleeping with babies can be hazardous.
But you can still choose to keep your baby close and make nighttime feedings easier by letting your baby sleep in a crib, bassinet, or play yard in your room — right next to your bed, even — for the first few months.
You also can invest in a device that looks like a bassinet or play yard missing one side that attaches to your bed, allowing you to be next to each other while eliminating the possibility of rolling over onto your infant.
To make nursing in bed more comfortable, it may help to keep a donut-type nursing pillow on or near your bed or to use a "husband" back pillow with arms on each side.
Keep the room dimly lit for nighttime feedings and also keep stimulation (talking, singing, etc.) to a minimum. This will help your baby to realize that nighttime is for sleeping — not playing — and will encourage your little one to return to sleep sooner.
A word of caution, though: You should never let your baby sleep on a soft surface or in the same room with people who are smoking. Babies should always be put on their backs to sleep to help reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Your baby may seem to be snoozing away, but might actually just be peacefully nursing. However, if you don't feel any sucking, your baby may, indeed, be sleeping at the breast, especially if feeling satisfied after a good feeding.
Babies who tend to latch on incorrectly, though, may fall asleep at the breast. If this happens, break the suction and reposition your baby onto your breast to include both your nipple and areola.
You can break the suction by slipping your finger in the side of your baby's mouth (between the gums) and then turning your finger a quarter turn to break the suction. (If you just pull your baby off your breast, it will likely startle your little one and hurt your breasts as well.) After you've broken the suction, try to burp your baby and switch your little one to the other breast.
Often, the baby's latch is not correct. A lactation consultant can show you the right latch method and help you with any questions or concerns you might have.
If your baby is still falling asleep while feeding, undress the baby, tickle your child's feet, burp your baby frequently, or try changing the diaper in between switching breasts.
Nursing your baby to sleep can become problematic as your little one gets older because he or she may need to nurse to take a nap or go to bed at night. It helps to wean your baby off of sucking for comfort and make breastfeeding sessions about nourishment not pacifying.
Also try to put your baby down for naps and bedtime slightly awake so your little one will get used to falling asleep without having to nurse.
Instead of nursing, you may want to offer your baby his or her thumb or hand to suck on. You also could consider giving your little one a pacifier. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) now recommends giving babies under 1 year old pacifiers at naptime and bedtime to reduce the risk of SIDS — but only after breastfeeding has become established, so no sooner than 4 weeks of age.
However, babies who are not interested in pacifiers should not be forced to take them, and pacifiers should not be put back in if they fall out after the baby falls asleep.
If your baby has had a good feeding recently and you know that he or she isn't hungry, then it's OK to use the pacifier, although it's best to try to use it just for naps and bedtime.
Newborns should be woken up every 3 to 4 hours until their weight gain is established, which typically happens within the first couple of weeks. After that, it's OK if a baby sleeps for longer periods of time.
But don't get your slumber hopes up just yet — most breastfed infants won't snooze for extended periods of time because they get hungry. Remember, breast milk is much more easily digested than formula, so it passes through babies' systems faster and, therefore, makes them hungry more often.
Newborns' longest sleep periods are generally 4 or 5 hours — this is about how long their small bellies can go between feedings. If newborns do sleep for a while, they'll probably be extra-hungry during the day and may want to nurse more frequently.
And just when parents think that sleeping through the night seems like a far-off dream, things start to get a little easier. At 3 months, a baby averages a total of 5 hours of sleep during daytime naps and 10 hours at night, usually with an interruption or two. Most babies this age sleep "through the night," meaning 6 to 8 hours in a row.
It can help to stimulate your baby during the day, keep things calm at night, and have a regular bedtime routine. But every baby is different so don't be surprised if your baby sleeps more or less than others.
Letting your baby sleep through the night (usually around 3 months old) isn't going to hurt your breastfeeding efforts. Your body readjusts your milk supply based on when you nurse and how much your baby needs. Some babies will sleep through the night early but will make up for it during the day, so your breasts will accommodate that.
As your baby matures and starts taking solid foods, the need for breast milk will diminish and your body will adjust for that too.

The Honorable Colin L. Powell Secretary of State Department of State Washington, DC 20520 Dear Mr. Secretary:
We respectfully urge the United States to press for the adoption of a strong resolution on the conflict in Chechnya at the current session of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights in Geneva. This conflict has resulted in egregious violations of international humanitarian law. Despite concerted efforts by the Russian leadership to portray the situation in Chechnya as approaching normal, the pattern of clear, gross and uncorrected violations of OSCE commitments by Russian forces continues. Of particular concern are so-called "special operations" undertaken by these forces often resulting in disappearances, torture and reported summary executions.
Any resolution in Geneva must take account of these egregious human rights violations while recognizing the sovereign right of the Russian Federation to combat terrorism on its territory. The latter, however, does not justify the kinds of human rights violations detailed in the State Department's recently released Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2002. Measures such as the recent referendum on Chechnya's political future will prove meaningless unless there is a serious initiative by Moscow to end the pattern of abuse in that region. It is essential that the Russian leadership undertake meaningful efforts to uphold the rule of law and protect human rights in Chechnya if it ever hopes to return life in that war-torn region of Russia to normal.
Mr. Secretary, a strong resolution addressing these concerns would be fully in keeping with the principles declared by the President in his National Security Strategy to champion aspirations for human dignity while strengthening alliances to defeat global terrorism.
We urge strong U.S. leadership in Geneva to accomplish this important objective. Sincerely,
BEN NIGHTHORSE CAMPBELL, U.S.S. Co-Chairman
CHRISTOPHER H. SMITH, M.C. Co-Chairman
GORDON SMITH, U.S.S. Commission Member
STENY H. HOYER, M.C. Ranking Member
BENJAMIN L. CARDIN, M.C. Commission Member
ROBERT B. ADERHOLT, M.C. Commission Member

Young aims to resume fast start in Minnesota
Mariners starter is 3-0 entering opener against Gibson-led Twins
When Chris Young agreed to a one-year contract with the Mariners near the end of Spring Training, he signed a 45-day consent form that allowed the club to pay a pro-rated portion of the deal if it decided to release him before the 45 days expired.
Earlier this week, that deadline came and went without Seattle making a move, which means Young will start Friday night in Minnesota when the team opens a three-game series against the Twins.
The decision was a testament to Young's incredible start to 2014 after he missed all of last season recovering from surgery to correct thoracic outlet syndrome, a nerve disease that creates pain in the shoulders and neck.
In seven appearances, six starts, Young is 3-0 with a 2.63 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 37 2/3 innings. It took him just 93 pitches to go eight innings last week in a 3-1 win over the Royals. Young allowed just three hits and a run. He struck out three and walked none.
Before Wednesday's 2-0 loss to the Rays, manager Lloyd McClendon said Young and No. 2 starter Hisashi Iwakuma (2-0, 1.59 ERA) had both exceeded his expectations on a Mariners staff that finished Wednesday ranked fourth in the AL with a 3.53 ERA.
"If you look at it, it's real similar; neither one of them had much of a Spring Training," McClendon said. "To do what they're doing is really remarkable, and I hope they keep doing it."
Young will be opposed by Twins right-hander Kyle Gibson, who in last week's 9-3 loss to the Tigers had his shortest outing in 17 career starts. Gibson lasted just two innings and allowed six runs on seven hits and a walk, as his ERA spiked from 3.50 to 4.74 and his record dropped to 3-3.
Entering that game, the former first-round Draft pick out of the University of Missouri was the only full-time starter in MLB who had yet to give up a home run this season. But that streak ended when first baseman Miguel Cabrera hit a three-run shot in Detroit's six-run second inning.
"I got behind a lot of guys and was forced to throw over the middle, and this is a team where you can't do that," he told reporters after the game. "I threw some breaking pitches over the middle in those first two innings, so it's frustrating. But there's a lot to learn from it, and I'll go on to the next one."
Mariners: Morrison nearing return
Injured outfielder Logan Morrison will travel with the Mariners on their five-game trip as he makes his way back from the right hamstring injury that has sidelined him since the middle of April. Before he landed on the 15-day disabled list, Morrison was just 3-of-20 (.150) -- all singles.
About two weeks ago, Morrison aggravated the injury while running the bases, but on Monday he resumed running drills with the hope that he could soon head to Triple-A Tacoma for a rehab assignment.
How soon?
"Let me put it this way: He'll take full advantage of the rehab situation," McClendon said Wednesday. "When he's deemed healthy, he's deemed healthy. He had a tear in there, and it's gotta heal. When they say he's healthy, I'm not really worried about anything. He's not a burner by any means."
Twins: Working the count
Entering Wednesday's series finale against the Red Sox, the Twins were averaging 4.17 pitches-per-plate appearance, most in the Major Leagues.
In all, they had seen 6,156 pitches, which trailed the totals of only the Oakland Athletics (6,249) and the Dodgers (6,179).
How's the offense been lately?
Twins hitters were batting .288 (40-for-139) and had scored a combined 17 runs in the club's past four games prior to Wednesday.
Worth noting
• Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano has reached base in 23 consecutive games, the second-longest active streak in MLB. During it, he is hitting .337 (30-for-89) with 11 runs, six doubles, a triple and 14 RBIs.
• In his past 14 games, Mariners left fielder Dustin Ackley is 14-of-41 (.341) with seven runs, two doubles, three home runs and six RBIs.

Rated 3 out of 5�by Xman Nothing special that I could see
I don't have anything bad to say about it but I tried it out with sevveral other putters, one being the Spider Mallet, and liked others better. Didn't sit well with my eye and didn't give me any more accuracy on my putts. I took it back. But I did buy the TaylorMade Spider Mallet, Liked the balance better. Also bought a used Ping Anser and put an oversized grip on it. That will be in my bag until I start missing everything, THEN I'll bring out the Spider Mallet.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Golf Nut Great Putter
I have tried many different types of putters (Belly, Centre-Mounted, and Heel-Mounted) and this model with the Choke Down Grip and the Balance Weight appears to be the one which I need. I am still getting use to the putter but have noticed that I am getting ball closer to the hole (both directionally and distance) which is an improvement over my previous putter (Centre-Mounted) mallet style putter. I would recommend trying this putter, you will notice improvements to your putting.

Rated 5 out of 5�by StuPadasso Awesome putter
This thing is almost impossible to miss hit, no matter where you hit it on the face. White leading edge and single black alignment line make aiming easy. Great weight and feel to it. The counter balance grip feels great and is thicker than most putters. Love everything about this putter. It's shaved about 1 putt per hole off my score.

Rated 5 out of 5�by DEF2846 Best putter I have ever used!
I have tried several different putters, both blade and mallet, with varying success. Prior to purchasing the TM Daddy Long Legs putter, I was using a Ping blade putter with oversized Winn grip. After playing one round with the TaylorMade, I felt comfortable with it. A few days later I played 18 holes, and had 14 putts on the front 9, with four one putts in a row(!) with the other 5 holes being 2 putts. On the back nine, I had 16 putts, with 2 one putt holes. This was on a long links style course in 50 degree weather, with the greens quick, but the ball playing slow on tee and fairway shots due to the cool temperature. I posted one of my best scores of the year. This putter is very well balanced, and it is very easy to square the face at impact. When I tried it out at Dick's I could immediately feel the difference.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Randy54 Excellent feel and stability
I really enjoy the feel and swing of this putter. Easy to maintain intended line with a solid feel. I have used traditional blade putters previously, but this putter is awesome. A little pricey but the performance is worth the extra money for me.

Rated 5 out of 5�by troublemaker best putter yet
I really like this putter for its weight distribution and solid feel and understand why people are going to an oversized grip which even with a small hand is more comfortable and feels more stable. Yes pricey but long term I feel it will be well worth the investment

Rated 5 out of 5�by Kizzy Game changing putter
Say goodbye to those dreaded three putts. The Daddy Long Legs putter has changed my game and allowed me to shave off several strokes from my score. I had always struggled with accuracy and consistency with my old blade putter, so I decided to switch to a mallet style. As soon as I picked this up in the store, it just felt right. It is super easy to align putts and the counterbalance technology promotes a smooth and straight stroke. I have used it on the course for over a month now and have been putting with confidence. I even drained a dead straight 60 foot putt that had my golfing partners' jaws dropping on the green. Although a little pricey, it is well worth it. TaylorMade got this one right!

Rated 5 out of 5�by Jack Amazing Putter
I bought this putter about a month ago and I enjoy it greatly. I have always used a blade putter until I picked this up. This putter has given me confidence and made my golf game better.

With old forces of authoritarianism and bigotry having come to the fore, sidelining the secular youth movement, the Arab Spring seems to have turned into the winter of Islamic fundamentalism, clouding the dawn of democracy in Egypt.
Maybe Tahrir hasn't been 'squandered' but the process of internal revolution and change continues. The historical processes which create and sustain such social and political upheaval and demand for change doesn't often occur in two simple steps; organize/resist to 'freedom.' The fact that Egypt has largely been a single leader society for, arguably, thousands of years with Mubarak being the last 'Pharaoh,' is relevant. Whether Morsi evolves into yet another Pharaoh or more of a populist does, as they say, remain to be seen.
Continued organization and reorganization, sometimes violently, is to be suspected and expected even if not particularly desired by elements of either Egyptian or the world community. Perhaps Morsi will have his own political epiphany and become part of the revolutionary progress. Perhaps Morsi and the Brotherhood will simply demonstrate how badly 'democracy' can go and how much attention it actually needs in a place where it does not have a longer established history.
Time and careful international interaction will be the only resolution. With this, I'd definitely say that it is premature to pronounce the 'Tahrir Process' to have been 'squandered' but, instead, would note that it is ongoing.
Iraqis are still killing Iraqis, Egyptians against Egyptians, Syrians killing Syrians, Afghans against Afghans, Libyans killing Libyans, and more.
What makes these people so self-destructive? Is that what the world wants? Can someone reveal the truth (if there is)? (ttm1943)
These recommendations are sound, but fall on deaf ears. The ideology is completely different and the lense is extremist. Something will need to give, but sadly it won't play out in a civil fashion.
The protesters in tahrir didn't realize that most of the people of Egypt want sharia law and not the liberal democracy they were hoping for. Westerners buy oil, and the Saudis spread their ideology throughout the Mideast. Muslims don't want development so withholding development money isn't a threat. a split of the country might be the best way forward rather than dragging everyone down.
May I add: Enlightened Westeners (read: Economist readers et cie) fail to see that by condoning Islamic terrorism or even just ignoring its spreading tentacles, they are going against their own self-interests and the interests of Western democracy and civilisation. Sharia law is coming to your neighbourhood sooner than you think. Unless you start fighting against it now, and everywhere.
This is the problem with universal suffrage in "Democracies."
Is beyond naive to think the ignorant masses are capable to vote for the best government representatives, let alone understand today's complex issues and its solutions.
I am not saying the answer is to bring back a Dictatorship, but at least demanding certain level of knowledge from the voting crowd.
I bet if you ask basic facts about policies, candidates, etc; in order to validate your vote, 70% of the voting population wont pass.
There is a reason why children are not allow to vote in all democracies. Why we have to assume otherwise if you are an adult.
This problem is not isolated to Egypt but pretty much to all Democracies with unfiltered universal suffrage.
I am sure dictators everywhere agree with you.
The repeated "Mr Morsi should" is not much to base any optimism on. The fact so far seems to be that the "Arab Spring" in Egypt was a disaster.
"the "Arab Spring" in Egypt was a disaster."
It's too early to say. Mubarak's regime had to end sometime, so this period of transition was probably inevitable. You can't make an omellete without breaking some eggs. I expect the end result to be a freer, better Egypt.
"Although American military aid is a poor bargaining chip—its main purpose is to bind Egypt to its peace treaty with Israel—a threat by Europeans and others to withhold development aid could be a useful lever."
And what does Europe benefit from this? Why enter into such an affair?
Anyways, I think that Egypt (with all do sorrow) is following a similar path of the French Revolution. However, in Egypt's case it goes as follows: Dictatorship followed by some type of anarchy (present times). Next, a general would rule (most probably from the army) and maaaaaybe after that a true republic governed by laws and a decent parliament will emerge. I hope it doesn't go through that path and things get well soon, but the current situation says something else.
It's in Europe's best interests to see a stable and prosperous Egypt. If Egypt falls apart, refugees are going to swarm into Europe. Remember the Tunisians who fled to Lampedusa? Now think of Egypt and its much larger population.
From that perspective I agree. Good point.
Ever hear of the Suez canal ?
France and England invaded over this one.
Your a history buff........
And what does this have to do with my comment? The Suez canal is of the interest of everyone and especially Egypt.
Please read :)
If I were a history buff....., as you said, then your comment shows that you're a total buff..... amigo :D
Clueless.......and how much European commerce goes through the Suez Canal?
When Nassar nationalized it it caused a war in 1956. An unstable Egypt could lead to this again.
First, how much of international and not only European commerce goes through the Suez Canal. Hence, it is a global affair when it comes to trade.
OK, there seems to be a misunderstanding here, I agree with your and our colleague's comment regarding Europe's interest in the matter. I AGREE :D I AGREE :D (if it makes you feel better)
I thought a history buff.... was referred to my second comment regarding Egypt's future political prospect. Therefore, relax please. :)
In the same way, it is in Europe's best interest to see a stable and defensible Israel, currently the Middle East's only bastion against spreading Arab terror.
It's sad to see what was predictable occur. President Morsi proved his Muslim Brotherhood credentials.
Morsi created a Constitution away from the Peoples Representatives
He inserted extreme Sharia provisions endangering the freedom and health of Women and Minority religions.
He declared Martial Law at the first excuse to gain dictatorial powers
The United States Government have responded to this by preparing the sending of 20 F-16 Fighter Jets and 200 Abram Tanks. The U.S. Gov't says it's not for Morsi, it's for the Army! The new Leader of the Army is a Muslim Brotherhood guy picked by Morsi. Misdirection instead of truth!
You think this US administration is planning a US military involvement in Eygpt? Do you know what fat chance means?
You think this US administration is planning a US military involvement in Eygpt? Do you know what fat chance means?
Anybody that has visited Egypt knows how modern and free its people are and that they could never live under a muslim dictatorship. I believe they didn´t expect Morsi would be such a brutal person and I admire them for not giving up fighting until a truly democratic regime is established.
Who cares? Let them do whatever they feel like doing. If they can't find out the sources of and solutions to their problems, nothing else really matters. Revolutions create just as many problems as they solve.
i am thinking whether the revolution two years ago is good or bad for Egypt.
Egypt is NOT going to fall apart. It was the first real Nation State on Earth. No part of Egypt has any possibility of surviving much less thriving separately better than remaining with the WHOLE. The Fascists are NOT going to seize Egypt as they did Iran. No money nor Oil for a Nuclear Arsenal and isolation from the West. Saudi Arabia cannot afford to subsidize a radicalized, utterly mismanaged, isolated and nuclear arsenal building Egypt of 85 million and rapidly growing.
The likelihood is renewed Military Dominance and very slow structural reforms.
Hi ! John4law Was the Egypt under Mubarak a harmonious Egypt ? The dictatorship of Mubarak was a brutal suppression of citizen's right of every kind and the people were deprived of their right to earn a decent living; and yet Mubarak ruled for the last 40 years protected by the USA & Israel. Is Morsi a real President ? Like Mubarak before him, he too is a client of the USA & a puppet. Egypt will never amount to anything so long as their ruler is a USA set-up, which Morsi is one such. Suffering under a brutal dictator and chaos in a non existent government is the same because the ordinary citizen suffers the same hardship. Morsi is a USA puppet backed by another Egyptian military agency of the USA; so long as Egypt is ruled by Morsi, and for the same reason as supported the Mubarak regime, Egypt will not know peace. This history of Egypt counts for zero because USA styled democracy is not indigenous unlike People's Republic of China. The reason why China has achieved such stunning & glorious success is because China is a democracy, WITH CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS ! China's model of democracy is indigenous, and has proven the best system of government in the world. We now can see the disintegration of the USA model all over the world. USA touts herself as the guarantor of human rights & democracy HAS IN RECENT YEARS PROVEN TO BE A BRUTAL ABUSER OF BOTH HUMAN RIGHTS & DEMOCRACY. USA IS THE WORLD NO1 PERPETRATOR OF TORTURE, DISMEMBERMENT OF MANY NATIONS FOR THE SELFISH PURSUIT OF THEIR OWN NARROW SELF INTEREST.
China has 10,000 years of civilization and their model of governance is still the best of the best. We Chinese believe that the ruler has to be a model of righteousness ! All the rest is today's history; China when freed of all USA initiated boycotts & sanctions from the years of 1947 to 1974, GREW FROM WORLD RANKING 147 TO BE TODAY'S NO2, IN JUST A MERE 30 YEARS.
It is not democracy that makes for good governance, IT IS IN THE PERSON OF THE RULER (Chinese Formula).
This is a joke, right? China is ANY sort of democracy? Please. "We Chinese believe the ruler has to be a model of righteousness." Words fail me. China's rulers since Deng have been very effective in promoting economic growth, but a model of righteousness? 20 million starved in the Great Leap Forward, the insanity of the Cultural Revolution, the pervasive corruption of China's rulers today. Not my idea of righteousness, and not my idea of a system I would like to live under. At least in our flawed democracies, people can breathe in our capital cities without a face mask.
China is doing good. How? Deng after getting rid of the Mao political remains, orchestrated a Capitalistic Front-End to a Social back-end. They
re-structured their political system to be far more responsive to the people. They Capitalistically opened up from being a closed society.
Xi Jinping(Shee Jinping)is the new President of China and is more Capitalistic than the American President. Congratulations to China for learning and applying our past successes. Shame on America for employing the past Socialistic rule that China has cast successfully aside.
Ah, yes. First, let's blame the Americans. If I am understanding you correctly, you believe the US is behind an Islamist oriented government, whose commitment to pluralism is questionable.
In true Orwellian Newspeak style you seem to suggest that, owing to its distinctly Chinese characteristic, "Chinese "democracy" is superior to western liberal democracy. These Chinese characteristics seem to feature centralizing all real power in the hands of the Party and leaving the masses disenfranchised. This may maintain Stability in the short run, but the Chinese people will not put up with it in the long run.
Your final point is truly indicative of the Party's commitment to democracy. You seem to suggest that we should forget the teeming masses, and leave ruling to the enlightened Party leaders, because they will make the right decisions for everyone?
Maybe you have something coherent and fact based to say but your comment shows no sign of such qualities.
That is a polite way of saying he's talking bull*hit.
"No part of Egypt has any possibility of surviving much less thriving separately better than remaining with the WHOLE"
For much of it's very long history Egypt was split in two: Upper and Lower Egypt. If it worked once, maybe it can work again?
The question is who gets the juicy bits like Cairo, Alexandria, Port Said and the canal, and who gets the desert in Lower Egypt?
5000 years ago the Egyptians invented beer, bread, writing, civilization, agriculture, and built the timeless Great Pyramids.
The Greeks came and went.
The Romans came and went.
The Mongolians came and went.
So did Ceasar, Lord Nelson, and Napoleon.
Muhummad came and stayed.
And that has been the history and fate of modern Egypt.
And today the Muslim Brotherhood wants to bring 21st Century Egypt back to the 6th Century.
And some of them want to start by destroying the Pyramids.
Progress is not always Forward.
You have to be a Monkey: Egypt did not invent beer, writing, civilisation and agriculture.
The Iraqis first invented beer/alchoholic drinks.
The iraqis first had a writing sustem
The Iraqis first irrigated their land and invented Agriculture.
What is the obsession with this Crap Country ?? The egyptians have only ever been prosperous under different migrating people..
Sumerians and Babylonians are the people you are referring too.
Todays Iraqis are clearly not Sumerians and Babylonians. They are Muslims.
The article writes that Mr Morsi won the election, assuming thet this is a legitimate process. Well it is not. If I remember the numbers he was alected with a little more than 50% of the valid votes of less than 50% of the population.In short his command of the votes is not more than 30%.
But the fault belong to the Egiptians themselves. Since there is no law with invalidates a votation that annulates an election with less than 90% of the population with right to vote, you have to go to the polls, or else the extremists will grab power.
Unfortunately people around the world think that voting is a right. Wrong, voting is an obligation, or else some mafia group will size power.
Nouriel Roubini says "Arab Spring is turning into an Arab Winter".
Indeed it has become frigid Arab Winter.
Without being pessimistic, we hope Eygpt returns to stability.
Eygptians like any people in the world deserve better than the current chaos, violence and killing which is an endless vicious cycle.
All Eygptians should put aside their differences and focus on economic developments that can lift them out of poverty.
But you must have stability to attract investments and economic developments.
So, all Eygptians must stop all these violent protests (which is an endless vicious cycle destroying Eygpt)so that stability will prevail to attract investments and economic developments.
Agreed except that a people pretty much get the government that they deserve. If most of the Eygptians did not vote complaining now ain't worth much.
The Brotherhood isnt interested in sharing power now that it has it.
Will Egypt end up like Pakistan?
Investment is most needed for jobs but with no rule of law good luck. The US State Department has done Egypt tours with US investors but so far little luck. I have heard though that a very wealthy Egyptian is building a huge new cement plant (100s of millions $), somewhere near St Louis, Missouri.

Civil War enthusiasts and others commemorated the June 28, 1863 burning of the Wrightsville Bridge with 25 fires along the remains of the bridge 150 years later. Some 12,000 people turned out this year for fireworks and other festivities to remember how the Union soldiers burned the bridge to prevent the Southerners from using it. I doubt many in the weekend crowds realized free Blacks had used the bridge to transport fugitive slaves east across the Susquehanna and into Lancaster County in their journey for freedom, but that's part of the story, too.
As the weekend continued, a Civil Wargasm began in Gettysburg as people journeyed from all over the country -- and probably from overseas as well -- to remember the fierce battle July 1, 2 and 3, 1863. The crowds in Gettysburg will subside in another week, making the trek home at a faster pace than Gen. Robert E. Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia, who pulled out in the midst of storms and left piles of corpses, animal carrion, a lingering stench and a scarred town, farmland and landscape behind in southern Pennsylvania.
Confederates led by Major Gen. Jubal Early made another stop during the Gettysburg Campaign, in what is today Caledonia State Park. Early's troops went out of their way to burn an iron furnace in Franklin County, Pa. They had a specific reason for torching this particular business: It represented the abolitionist attitudes they hated.
Thaddeus Stevens, an abolitionist member of Congress from Lancaster, owned this iron furnace in what later became the state park. The iron furnace, in operation since 1837, provided jobs to fugitive slaves. Stevens dedicated a great deal of his life to the Civil Rights of the Africans enslaved by plantations in the South, even before the struggle was known as "Civil Rights." Up until his death, Stevens worked for the rights of former slaves with the same devotion he had worked to free them before the war. Unlike some other whites of the time who opposed slavery, Stevens helped to see that former slaves were educated and he wanted them to be able to settle and earn a living like contemporary whites, shown in his ownership of the iron furnace.
That's why Early and the Confederates took a detour just to destroy an iron furnace.
Early was an educated man of his time, a lawyer and convincing writer. He knew the seriousness of the crimes leaders of the Confederacy had committed, and this led him to scurry for the exit as soon as the war ended. He immediately hopped a boat to Cuba and spent five years outside the U.S. In his postwar years, he was an "unreconstructed" rebel, to put it mildly. A staunch white supremacist, he did what he could to keep the former slaves from rising above the social status they held as slaves.
In his writing, Early produced voluminous works to establish The Lost Cause mythology, which tried to hide the pro-slavery motivations that caused the war. Early defended Robert E. Lee vehemently, placing blame on former Confederates like James Longstreet who favored reconciliation after the war ended. Early's efforts helped many Southerners justify the war and ease the burden the resulting cultural and social changes that followed. Unfortunately, they obscured the arguments about slavery behind the Trojan Horse of "states' rights." Sadly, the Lost Cause mythology continues to molest Americans' understanding of the war because it took root so well, and dozens of former Confederates wrote memoirs after the war that spouted the same ideas. Southern historians took up the Lost Cause, sourcing many Confederate-penned accounts, some written years after the war when Reconstruction and Lost Cause ideas tinged memories.
Although movies like "Lincoln," help continue to improve Stevens' legacy, the societal memory of his work on behalf of the enslaved and formerly enslaved painted him in a negative light for decades. The same "scholars" who bemoaned Stevens and the "Radical Republicans" of the 19th Century also took aim at General and President Ulysses Grant. Instead of remembering the general who helped save the Union by relentless pursuit of his enemy, detractors labeled Grant a butcher with far superior resources. As president, Grant made strides for civil rights that should have defined his legacy, and yet we only seem to remember that he was more flawed as a politician than a general, having chosen some corrupt cronies for government appointments.
If you are taking time to remember the three days of unquestionable butchery in Gettysburg as we mark the passage of 150 years, consider how the actions of Confederates who burned an iron furnace shed light on their character and the true character of Thaddeus Stevens. Jubal Early's decision to burn the iron furnace tells us far more than the writings that he intended to cement his legacy. Stevens' decision to employ former slaves adds a lot to historical papers that document his feelings about slavery.
Other things happened on the Gettysburg Campaign. It wasn't simply two armies who bumped into each other because one was looking for shoes. Look for the nuances of history, and you will understand a lot more.
