Best team building strategy to make this team a winner?

Obviously changes are needed and I'd prefer doing alot of it by trades rather than thinking that a rookie or two and/or a free agent or two would do the trick, because they wouldn't. I think Monta has such high value right now and AB so little that it is best to trade them together or AB will be hard to trade. I'd prefer getting MGasol, but I've noticed that the Hawks will want to make changes, as they have not been able to crack into the elite in the east, while Chicago did so in one offseason. Something like Monta and AB for JSmith and Horford, add another big from our end, be it the draft pick in this upcoming draft.
I personally don't like the way Curry now plays, less of a distributor, and the team needs a very good distributing PG. I'd trade him to the Knicks, as it looks like he still wants to go there, but I'd do a three team trade, getting someone like Chris Paul would be the best deal for me, but the Knicks and the Warriors would have to send a fair bit to get that trade done. Maybe Raymond Felton would be good, but he doesn't seem like an upgrade to Curry. Anything which gives the team a very good, if not a star, Center is the biggest requirement, as that position is the hardest to fill and guards are the easiest to find. migya make the ring fall on ya |
As much as it sounds good, I don't think Atlanta would give away Josh Smith and Al Horford for Monta Ellis and Andris Biedrins. I would guess that Horford (at least to them) has more value right now than Ellis does. As you said Migya, big guys are the most important pieces right now, and they wouldn't do themselves a favor by sending away both their starting big guys for poor Biedrins and Monta (who's great, but plays the same position as Joe Johnson).
The best thing for us would be to get Chris Paul somehow. It would be good if we could keep one of our guards, but if we get a productive center and Paul, I could live with them both leaving. I just can't see how we could acquire Paul, whether in two way or three way deal. If Hornets would go for straight up trade Monta for Paul, that would be great, of course, if Paul signs extension here. |
I don't think getting paul is a good idea, becuase he will likely bolt to NY when he is a free agent.
I would hate to give up Monta. He may be a bit undersized defensively for a SG, but a team he would florish under is the Lakers. He could play the point, since in their system there is no real point guard, each position can make the play. A back court of Ellis/Bryant would be sick. But what would the trade be?? Monta + Beans for Bynum + Blake + Shanon Brown and a couple of first round picks. You would have Curry/Brown/Wright/Lee/Bynum with Steve Blake as a solid PG coming of the bench. Also the first round picks would be key, as you can use them to in the draft, or to help facilitate a trade for some solid bench players. I don't see a whole lot of other trade perposals out there that make a lot of sense. And I probably wouldn't do this trade because as a fan I want to see the team be loyal to Ellis, as he has put a lot of sweet and blood into the team. I am sure he would be excited to go to the Lakers though. "Hard Work Beats Talent, When Talent Doesn't Work Hard"

any trade we do for Ellis needs us to get a
a) quality big b) a decent PG BECAUSE CURRY NEEDS TO PLAY SG, HIS NATURAL POSITION ~LilBallerx~
If Curry is to play SG, then we would once again have an undersized guard.
The trade I mentioned above you could put Blake at starting PG and Curry at SG. Bynum is a starting 5 for sure, just have to hope he can stay healthy. However I will disagree with you that curry needs to play SG. I think Curry needs to play PG. He is too small and not athletic enough for the SG position, and he does have great BBIQ to play the PG. I think he will be like Nash as he gets more experience. Great offensive player, but always a liability on D. Brown has size and can shoot the ball, I think he would make an excellent SG, and he can play D. Lineup like: Curry/Brown/Wright/Lee/Bynum would defenately get you to the playoffs..... with a solid bench maybe even the second round. After that you would have to evaluate how to make it better to get to Championship contention. "Hard Work Beats Talent, When Talent Doesn't Work Hard"

First and foremost get a new coach, Smart has the reminiscence of Nellie, trading player A for player B means nothing when the roster is not utilized properly by a coach. I have been so frustrated lately with the development of this team and its forward progress because of coaching.
The base and structure is everything for a team any team, yes of course players are instrumental, but warriors are not going to hit the jackpot all of a sudden and get all the missing links to make a championship team. Am at the peak of frustration because this team is healthy they have certain pieces but they are not utilized properly, so many game I almost want to break the T.V. because of Coach smarts head scratching sub patterns, excessive playing times of certain players or lack there off, the mis-use of the bench, not knowing that Beans sucks and giving more playing time to Udoh and even Gadz (when he was still a warrior). Games in which bench players would perform well and next game they get no playing time. So pretty much get a coach that knows how to coach and how to manage a game. |
Yea, the Hawks would likely not even look at that seriously. I'd add Lee to Monta and AB, but I don't see who Atlanta also includes in such a deal to make the money work, maybe Hinrich. If that'd work, I'd do it. I've always liked Paul and I do think his value is a bit lower now, both due to decrease in production and injuries the last couple of seasons. I'd trade Monta for him straight up, but as you said, Paul would have to sign an extension and I don't think he'd do that at all. He might well go to the Knicks, which would make them a top 4 team all up for sure. That'd likely ensure Curry doesn't go there actually migya make the ring fall on ya |
Of realistic targets in a trade mentioned here, the most realistic GOOD option, is to trade for Josh Smith. I think Atlanta wants a new starting C, so they can move Horford to PF. Probably wouldn't be interested in Lee or Biedrins, so we would need to find a 3rd team to make such a deal happen.
I like Smith for a few reasons. One is the guy is obviously an immense talent who affects all facets of the game. Plus I think he has been a little disgruntled in Atlanta the past few years, and lack of opportunities and attitude have made it so he yet to reach his full potential. I think he would compliment our backcourt pretty well, on both sides of the ball as Smith isn't much of an ISO player looking to get 20 shots a game. Plus the guy is good friends with Monta and they both respect the hell out of each other. I wanted us to at least try to sign Smith to an RFA contract a few years back, when he wanted out of Atlanta, but instead we decided to go with Maggette and other pieces that were traded away from scraps Get Money. Get Paid.
It seems like the team has a quite a few holes to fill. I don't see a offensive post player, a defensive post player, or a perimiter defender. They do have plenty of perimiter scoring, which is part of the puzzle. I'm working on what I think is the formula to build a winning team, but I'm gathering stats and info from all the good teams the last 20 years before I make my post.
Here's one hint for all the past champions of the last 20 years, Most if not all (recent Piston's maybe the exemption) have had a player who is in the top 50 greatest of all time. We need players and a system that are committed to playing both sides of the ball. Lee although a good player is not the fit for this team without a defensive stud C next to him. Monta can play both if he had a coach that held him accountable for when he's lazy on D (Recent coaches can't because they play him 48 minutes a night). Curry doesn't look like he will ever be a good defender, but with effort could at least become more serviceable. Get Money. Get Paid.

If the Warriors want to win, and when I say win, I dont mean 8th seed, 1st round exit. They need to change their identity. This run-n-gun, outscore everyone philosophy hasn't won a title in years, and I don't mean like 5-10-15 years. I'm talking many years. Look at the last teams standing when you watch the Finals every year. I hope Lacob is smart enough to figure out after watching the Celtics as a minority owner built a lockdown defensive title team. And that the Warriors can't win big (titles) if they refuse to play defense and aren't able to consistently run the half court set.
"Losing is inevitably close to winning," Guber said. "They're inches apart. Drama. If you have drama, you've got a ticket to sell." "They're not real fans," Lacob said. "They don't have season tickets."

That is why the Detriot Pistons team was so awesome.... it was the best TEAM ever assembled. Each piece (player) was different than the next. All brought a different element. Plus they had Mason (the cool PA announcer dude) and always played The Final COuntdown! Take Note Golden States.... I do PA announcing (and love that song)! |
I don't think there's a single person who doesn't like that song.

Primary venous aneurysms of the superficial venous system. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 18936046 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Venous aneurysm can be classified into superficial or deep and secondary or primary. The aim of this study was to introduce primary venous aneurysm of the superficial venous system and to report the experiences treating it with sclerotherapy. A retrospective study with 120 cases of venous dilatation detects 4 patients. The clinical features, histopathology, and radiological findings were investigated. In 2 patients, sclerotherapy was performed. The patients had an asymptomatic, soft subcutaneous mass on the extremities or neck for 5.2 years on an average. Color duplex scanning showed a well-defined anechoic cystic structure with no arterial flow. Histopathologically, normal vein wall with varying degrees of thinning was observed. The patients who underwent sclerotherapy were treated successfully with no recurrence. Primary venous aneurysm of the superficial venous system should be included in the differential diagnosis of subcutaneous mass. In addition, it may be simply and effectively treated with sclerotherapy. |

Les Enfants Terribles
Group ExhibitionMay 17th to September 15th, 2012Spacejunk Art Center Bayonne, FranceThroughout time, the art world has seen its share of "enfants terribles" whose work questions academic standards and disrupts the established channels of distribution and ways of acquiring legitimacy. On any occasion, they never fail to provoke a reaction. This exhibition sheds light on two artistic movements which, although originally from the United States, today, enjoy worldwide recognition and a global following: "Lowbrow" and "Pop Surrealism". Two movements which have been intersecting and colliding since the 70s, led by what you could surely call some of the art world's "enfants terribles".
Drawing their inspiration from comic books, cartoons, kustom kulture and, more recently, from the world of tattoos, skateboarding and alternative music, these artists confront us with our own cultural references, which are assimilated and forcefully depicted. Their work has become known worldwide. Thanks to the use of unexpected ways of showing art and new mediums such as album covers, concert posters, skate and snowboard decks and some sportswear brands.
The Artists: Robert Williams, Todd Schorr, Ray Caesar, Kris Kuksi, Nicolas Thomas, Jeff Soto, Caia Koopman, Reg Mombassa, Odo, Naoto Hattori, Victor Castillo, Steph Cop.

Readers offer solutions for, criticism over Arboretum/Winfrey Point parking flap
Re: "Neighbors file suit to block parking lots," Wednesday news story.
Parking fix is broken
To call the Dallas Arboretum a public park is a lie under the most liberal definition. Yet whenever it serves the city of Dallas, that's how it's referred to.
It has a CEO and charges $15 for adults, $9 for children and $10 for parking. Nell Degolyer would roll over in her grave to see her beloved estate used in this way. White Rock Lake Park was considered one of the premier inner city parks in the United States when it was completed in December 1929.
And now our short-sighted city fathers want to turn arguably the best place in the park, the native blackland prairie at Winfrey Point, into a parking lot for those who can afford to go to the Arboretum but would never consider taking public transportation.
City councilman Dwaine Caraway put it in this succinct and self-serving way: "The Arboretum's going to get whatever parking it needs, wherever it needs it. … We'll have the parking, I don't care what we have to do."
But it will be done on our backs, the average working family who can't afford $58 to take their two kids to the Arboretum.
DART is Arboretum's solution
Maybe the Dallas Arboretum should try DART instead of more parking lots. DART could improve its bus stops and have a dedicated walkway into the property. This works for businesses and colleges, so visitors could use the safer DART parking facilities, which are paved and policed. This would also keep White Rock Lake Park safer for bicycles and pedestrians with less automobile traffic.
Donald Wright, Garland
Ruin one treasure for another?
If the Arboretum is the Disneyland of Dallas, then White Rock Lake is our Central Park. Please stop and look at alternatives before we repeat the mistakes we made with the Nasher sculpture garden and the reflective, pension-backed Tower. It is much cheaper to prevent problems than to correct them.
Do we really have to destroy one Dallas treasure to advance another? The council needs to consider the quality of life that Dallas offers in addition to how much money a venture can generate.
Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio and Houston have found ways to do both. I am sure Dallas can also.

Thousands of Unaccompanied Children Are Crossing Border Into America
This is a new phenomenon happening at the border. Children are being taken
to the border and crossing into America. Most are not accompanied by a parent.
The drug cartels are using these children to get drugs across.
What is going on? Why would the border patrol allow all these drugs, and
unaccompanied minors to be brought across the border?
The border patrol should be more proactive and set up stronger borders in
those areas to keep them out. This is a no brainer.
Drugs are not good for Americans. It is just as easy to ship those unaccompanied
minors back across the border as it is to ship them to other states.
How are we going to take care of minors? It requires a lifetime of commitment.
Any other country can borrow the trillions of dollars that we have borrowed
to take care of these children. America is not the Red Cross.
Where is our leadership when we need it? This has been happening without
any public recognition. Congress should act swiftly to stop this manipulation
of our country by the drug cartels. Get that border fence up now for heavens

MORE than six months have gone by since César Gaviria, the secretary-general of the Organisation of American States, began to try to persuade Venezuela's government and its opposition to put aside their bitter quarreling long enough to strike a deal. At last, on May 29th, both sides signed a 19-point document. On paper, this opens the way for a recall referendum on President Hugo Chávez's rule shortly after August 19th, the midpoint of the president's term. But that is no more than the constitution says—and the two sides immediately fell out about the practical import of what they had signed up to.
Mr Chávez, a populist former army officer, has survived two opposition attempts to unseat him, first through a coup and then through a devastating two-month strike that shattered the economy. The opposition is now weary and demoralised—and may be too weak to ensure that the referendum happens.
Government politicians say that the opposition will not be able to gather the 2.4m signatures required under the constitution. A bigger obstacle is that the National Assembly, where Mr Chávez has a slim majority, has failed to appoint members to serve on the National Electoral Council. This body would have to decide on the validity of the signatures, when to hold a referendum, and whether to allow international monitors.
Mr Chávez's supporters point out that "more than 50" recall referendums have already been requested for mayors, assembly members and provincial governors. They claim that these should take precedence over that for the president. If the government delays a presidential referendum until August 2004, then, even it loses, under the constitution the (appointed) vice-president would take over.
Part of the opposition is already preparing for the vote. But others talk ominously of answering government foot-dragging with an "insurrection" or coup. The president's supporters are making their own threats. When the opposition tried to hold a rally in a chavista stronghold in the west of Caracas, gunfire erupted, leaving one dead and a score injured. The government called it a "provocation" and spoke of restricting the right to demonstrate. Mr Gaviria says he will return if there's a serious breakdown in the accord, and the two sides request it. He might want to leave a toothbrush in Caracas.

Nice. Is it a "proper" Pandora plugin or a work around?

Nice. Is it a "proper" Pandora plugin or a work around?
Cool !!!
Ok fellas give it a go
Known bugs:
-Delete station command not available yet
-First played song can not be rated (no thumbs up/down)
Instructions are easy, install, start RR, go to plugin manager and enter your username/password from pandora. Run RRPANDORA command and watch the magic happen (i hope).
Seems to work really good for the early stages of a plugin! My stations list fine, and I can add new stations without problem, music play perfect.... I do not however show any data in any of the station name, artist, song fields though. Will there be a way to skip songs in the future?
are you testing with the standard RR labels (TAGTITLE etc) or the labels created for pandora (RRPANDORA_TRACKTITLE etc) ? Both ways are working on my 3 systems, but a conflicting plugin of some sort can bug it up in its current form. I'll release a hopeful fix to this problem (as well as the skip track problem) today.
0.5.3 is available and should fix johns issue with rr default labels/indicators/commands. It also incorporates the delete station command
Pandora don't know my login , but i have well an account !

Sometimes it seems like we spend a lot of time ragging on ICANN here on gTLD Strategy. It's not that we have some inherent beef with the organization. But sometimes, like that kid in grade school who always corrected your grammar ("Actually, it's 'you and I ,' not 'you and me'"), ICANN does things that make it hard to love. Really hard.
Last week, we talked about the revolving cadre of absolute and suggested deadlines. Now, we've discovered another discrepancy that applicants should be aware of: Question 11.
Question 11 pertains to the applicant's background, asking for information like full names, countries of birth, permanent addresses, and contact information for relevant board members and shareholders, as well as other information. It also asks questions about the legal background of all of the persons named in the application, and whether they have ever been convicted of any number of crimes. The version of Question 11 printed in the New gTLD Applicant Guidebook lists a dozen different types of crimes that run the gamut from hacking to violent sexual offenses. That version of the question also asks about cybersquatting – not only whether the applicant has ever been involved in cybersquatting, but if it had ever been a party in a UDRP proceeding, as either a Complainant or a Respondent.
The question is nothing if not thorough. Unfortunately, the version of the question that appears in ICANN's TLD Application System (TAS) is not.
The version of Question 11 that appears in the TAS is a truncated version of the Guidebook's Question 11. Essentially, it asks for a whole lot less detail. Moreover, the TAS says nothing to indicate that the applicant should answer the questions according to how it is worded in the Guidebook, versus how it is worded in the TAS.
Instead, applicants have to rely on the "Quick Start Guide" that ICANN published to go along with the TAS. That document, which is accessible at the bottom of ICANN's TAS web page, describes (among other things) how applicants should create their TAS profiles. Under that section, it says, "The information requested in this section represents Applicant Guidebook questions 1-11." In other words, answer the version in the Guidebook, not the version in the TAS.
Ultimately, this is not a huge problem. Most applicants who are serious about applying for and operating a new gTLD are meticulous enough to do all their homework and read through all the necessary documents (especially FairWinds' clients, if we may be shamelessly self-promoting for a minute). But the question we're left asking is, why even let this discrepancy appear? Why would ICANN even take that chance, when it has been developing this program for over six years? Isn't it worth packing in the extra text into the TAS to make sure that there is zero margin for error?
And while we're at it, how is it possible that an organization that works so closely with the people who make the Internet work produced an application system that looks like it was built for Internet Explorer 6?

Stopping Pakistan Drone Strikes Suddenly Plausible
Until this week, it seemed like the conventional wisdom in Washington was that stopping U.S drone strikes in Pakistan was outside the bounds of respectable discussion.
That just changed. Or it should have.
Obama Administration Seeks Extraordinary Military Powers In Pakistan
Obama administration seeks extraordinary military powers in Pakistan
By Bill Van Auken | WSWS
In his testimony, Gates also revealed that, even after the planned closure of the Guantanamo detention center, the US government may still imprison up to 100 of the inmates without charges or trials. The administration asked Congress for $50 million to build prison facilities in the US for detainees it claims are dangerous but cannot be tried, principally because the supposed evidence against them was extracted through torture.
The Obama administration is increasingly treating its growing intervention in Pakistan as a separate counter-insurgency war for which it is demanding the same kind of extraordinary military powers obtained by the Bush administration in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Commentary: Is Pakistan Another Iran?
Commentary: Is Pakistan another Iran?
By Arnaud De Botchgrave | UPI
U.S. President Obama's foreign policy gurus are baffled by Pakistan's anarchic chaos that is sweeping one of the world's eight nuclear powers. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she had trouble understanding why the Pakistani army isn't moving to suppress Taliban insurgents inching closer to the capital city of Islamabad.
After six decades of independence -- and half that time under military dictatorship -- Pakistan is still a largely feudal society where landless Taliban have started an uprising against the landlords who back the inept government of President Asif Zardari. It is hard to imagine that he enjoys much support in the budding showdown between Pakistan's haves and have-nots. He says Pakistan is in a state of war without defining the enemy. For the Taliban and Pakistan's landless millions, the enemy is Pakistan's political establishment and the feudal estates that enjoy government protection.
Pakistan is increasingly a rerun of the Islamic fundamentalist revolution in Iran that ousted the pro-Western regime of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi in 1979 and proceeded to execute some 7,000 "counterrevolutionaries" in a few months, thousands more than were sentenced to death during the emperor's 40 years on the Peacock throne. The Iranian equivalent of Pakistan's Taliban -- revolutionary Islamist students -- seized the U.S. Embassy and kept 52 U.S. citizens hostage for 444 days.
To understand the angry growl of Pakistan's 170 million people, look at the number of Taliban (students) that are graduated from Pakistan's 12,500 madrassas, the free-board Koranic schools. They grind out some 2 million teenage boys a year. They are the sons of small or landless peasants who cannot afford the fees of proper schools; most Pakistanis subsist on $2 a day. Besides free food, clothes, books and notebooks, many are promised jobs in mosques or other madrassas. They learn Arabic and the Koran (by heart), an education based on memorization of medieval texts to the exclusion of analytical skills. "It's the ossification and stagnation of knowledge," harrumphed one Pakistani professor. And countless millions of young Pakistanis have been similarly brainwashed.

Killing Civilians
How Safe Do You Actually Want to Be?
By Tom Engelhardt
Almost like clockwork, the reports float up to us from thousands of miles away, as if from another universe. Every couple of days they seem to arrive from Afghan villages that few Americans will ever see without weapon in hand. Every few days, they appear from a world almost beyond our imagining, and always they concern death -- so many lives snuffed out so regularly for more than seven years now. Unfortunately, those news stories are so unimportant in our world that they seldom make it onto, no less off of, the inside pages of our papers. They're so repetitive that, once you've started reading them, you could write them in your sleep from thousands of miles away.
Like obituaries, they follow a simple pattern. Often the news initially arrives buried in summary war reports based on U.S. military (or NATO) announcements of small triumphs -- so many "insurgents," or "terrorists," or "foreign militants," or "anti-Afghan forces" killed in an air strike or a raid on a house or a village. And these days, often remarkably quickly, even in the same piece, come the challenges. Some local official or provincial governor or police chief in the area hit insists that those dead "terrorists" or "militants" were actually so many women, children, old men, innocent civilians, members of a wedding party or a funeral.
Clinton Says Pakistan is Abdicating to the Taliban
Clinton says Pakistan is abdicating to the Taliban
By Arshad Mohammed | Reuters
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Pakistan's government has abdicated to the Taliban in agreeing to impose Islamic law in the Swat valley and the country now poses a "mortal threat" to the world, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday.
Surging violence across Pakistan and the spread of Taliban influence through its northwest are reviving concerns about the stability of the nuclear-armed country, an important U.S. ally vital to efforts to stabilize neighboring Afghanistan.
U.S. President Barack Obama, who on March 27 unveiled a new strategy that seeks to crush al Qaeda and Taliban militants in Afghanistan and those operating from across the border in Pakistan, meets the presidents of both countries May 6-7.
Extremist Tide Rises in Pakistan
Extremist Tide Rises in Pakistan
After Reaching Deal in North, Islamists Aim to Install Religious Law Nationwide
By Pamela Constable | Washington Post
A potentially troubling era dawned Sunday in Pakistan's Swat Valley, where a top Islamist militant leader, emboldened by a peace agreement with the federal government, laid out an ambitious plan to bring a "complete Islamic system" to the surrounding northwest region and the entire country.
Speaking to thousands of followers in an address aired live from Swat on national news channels, cleric Sufi Mohammed bluntly defied the constitution and federal judiciary, saying he would not allow any appeals to state courts under the system of sharia, or Islamic law, that will prevail there as a result of the peace accord signed by the president Tuesday.
"The Koran says that supporting an infidel system is a great sin," Mohammed said, referring to Pakistan's modern democratic institutions. He declared that in Swat, home to 1.5 million people, all "un-Islamic laws and customs will be abolished," and he suggested that the official imprimatur on the agreement would pave the way for sharia to be installed in other areas.
Mohammed's dramatic speech echoed a rousing sermon in Islamabad on Friday by another radical cleric, Maulana Abdul Aziz, who appeared at the Red Mosque in the capital after nearly two years in detention and urged several thousand chanting followers to launch a crusade for sharia nationwide.
Together, these rallying cries seemed to create an arc of radical religious energy between the turbulent, Taliban-plagued northwest region and the increasingly vulnerable federal capital, less than 100 miles to the east. They also appeared to pose a direct, unprecedented religious challenge to modern state authority in the Muslim nation of 176 million.
"The government made a big mistake to give these guys legal cover for their agenda. Now they are going to be battle-ready to struggle for the soul of Pakistan," said Rifaat Hussain, a professor of security studies at Quaid-i-Azam university here. He predicted a further surge in the suicide bombings that have recently become an almost daily occurrence across the country. Two recent bombings at security checkpoints in the northwest killed more than 40 people.
Richard C. Holbrooke, the U.S. special envoy to the region, said in an interview broadcast Sunday on CNN that the decision by insurgents to keep fighting in spite of the peace deal should be a "wake-up call to everybody in Pakistan that you can't deal with these people by giving away territory as they creep closer and closer to the populated centers of the Punjab and Islamabad."

Errant Drone Attacks Spur Militants in Pakistan
By Gareth Porter, IPS
WASHINGTON, Apr 15 (IPS) - The U.S. programme of drone aircraft strikes against higher-ranking officials of al Qaeda and allied militant organisations, which has been touted by proponents as having eliminated nine of the 20 top al Qaeda leaders, is actually weakening Pakistan's defence against the insurgency of the Islamic militants there by killing large numbers of civilians based on faulty intelligence and discrediting the Pakistani military, according to data from the Pakistani government and interviews with senior analysts.
Some evidence indicates, moreover, that the top officials in the Barack Obama administration now see the programme more as an incentive for the Pakistani military to take a more aggressive posture toward the militants rather than as an effective tool against the insurgents.

As many as 1m people have fled their homes in the Tribal Areas to escape attacks by the unmanned spy planes as well as bombings by the Pakistani army. In Bajaur agency entire villages have been flattened by Pakistani troops under growing American pressure to act against Al-Qaeda militants, who have made the area their base....Jamil Amjad, the commissioner in charge of the refugees, says the government is running short of resources to feed and shelter such large numbers....Pakistani officials say drone attacks have been stepped up since President Barack Obama took office in Washington, killing at least 81 people.
American drone attacks on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan are causing a massive humanitarian emergency, Pakistani officials claimed after a new attack yesterday killed 13 people.
60 drone hits kill 14 al-Qaeda men, 687 civilians
By Amir Mir, The News
LAHORE: Of the 60 cross-border predator strikes carried out by the Afghanistan-based American drones in Pakistan between January 14, 2006 and April 8, 2009, only 10 were able to hit their actual targets, killing 14 wanted al-Qaeda leaders, besides perishing 687 innocent Pakistani civilians. The success percentage of the US predator strikes thus comes to not more than six per cent.
Figures compiled by the Pakistani authorities show that a total of 701 people, including 14 al-Qaeda leaders, have been killed since January 2006 in 60 American predator attacks targeting the tribal areas of Pakistan. Two strikes carried out in 2006 had killed 98 civilians while three
Resisting the Afghanistan - Pakistan War
By Jeff Leys
Jeff Leys is Co-Coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence.
Fourteen peace and social justice activists were arrested on April 9 at Creech Air Force Base in Indian Springs, Nevada. The arrests occurred during a 10 day vigil at the gates to Creech–which is home to members of the Air Force who "pilot" the Predator and Reaper drones used in the Afghanistan - Pakistan war.
Participants in the Sacred Peace Walk (organized by Nevada Desert Experience) arrived at Creech in the late afternoon, after walking 14 miles that day en route to the Nevada Test Site. With the vigil's numbers strengthened by the walkers, participants gathered together to reflect upon the lessons to be learned from the examples of the White Rose student movement in Nazi Germany and Dietrich Bonhoeffer's work to oust Hitler from power through a coup attempt.
Do U.S. drones kill Pakistani extremists or recruit them?
By Jonathan S. Landay, McClatchy Newspapers
WASHINGTON — Even as the Obama administration launches new drone attacks into Pakistan's remote tribal areas, concerns are growing among U.S. intelligence and military officials that the strikes are bolstering the Islamic insurgency by prompting Islamist radicals to disperse into the country's heartland.
Al Qaida, Taliban and other militants who've been relocating to Pakistan's overcrowded and impoverished cities may be harder to find and stop from staging terrorist attacks, the officials said.
Moreover, they said, the strikes by the missile-firing drones are a recruiting boon for extremists because of the unintended civilian casualties that have prompted widespread anger against the U.S.
Baitullah Mehsud has become the most powerful Pakistani militant and is the head of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Intelligence sources believe he leads an army of over 25,000 and may have joined forces with Mulla Mohammad Omar's Taliban in Afghanistan to develop a "three-pronged strategy for their coming spring offensive" against US forces in the region.
Pakistan Could Collapse Within Six Months: US Expert
Pakistan could collapse within six months: US expert | Times of India
Pakistan could collapse within six months in the face of the snowballing insurgency, a top expert on guerrilla warfare has said.
The dire prediction was made by David Kilcullen, a former adviser to top US military commander General David Petraeus.
David Kilcullen is the best known practitioner of counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency operations and had advised Gen Petraeus on the counter-insurgency programme in Iraq. Few experts understand the nature of the insurgency in Af-Pak as well and he is now advising Petraeus in Afghanistan.
Petraeus also echoed the same thought when he told a Congressional testimony last week that the insurgency could "take down" Pakistan, which is home to nuclear weapons and al-Qaida.
Democrats and War Escalation
By Norman Solomon
Top Democrats and many prominent supporters -- with vocal agreement, tactical quibbles or total silence -- are assisting the escalation of the U.S. war effort in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The predictable results will include much more killing and destruction. Back home, on the political front, the escalation will drive deep wedges into the Democratic Party.
The party has a large anti-war base, and that base will grow wider and stronger among voters as the realities of the Obama war program become more evident. The current backing or acceptance of the escalation from liberal think tanks and some online activist groups will not be able to prevent the growth of opposition among key voting blocs.
ObamaNation Wants Taliban Talks, Not Military Escalation, in Afghanistan
Americans elected President Obama in part based on his promise to put diplomacy and international cooperation, rather than the use and threat of military force, at the center of his foreign policy. With respect to Afghanistan and Pakistan, while there have been some encouraging signals, in terms of actually implemented policies the folks who voted for Obama are not yet getting the "diplomacy first" that they were promised. Last week the Washington Post reported that 55% of Democrats support negotiations with the Afghan Taliban, and that 56% of Democrats think the U.S. should focus more on economic development in Afghanistan than on defeating the Taliban militarily.
Saving Obama
By Robert C. Koehler | Huffington Post
"Now, I'd like to speak clearly and candidly to the American people . . ."
I believe him, with a passionate urgency — this new president, swept into office on a surge of hope and anger. I believe him without cynicism. After all, he has a terrifying job to do, a toxic legacy left to mop up. I cut him slack, listen for the sound, in his words, of the turning of the ship of state. How does he plan to engage the future? He's an intelligent and, I think, courageous leader. And he has a global constituency to back him up. All he has to do is speak to it, clearly and candidly . . .
I was numb to the lies and simplistic rhetoric of George W. Bush. But when Barack Obama tries to fill those incredibly small shoes, to rev up the same constituency of true believers (the constituency that didn't vote for him) and sell the same war — new! improved! — to the American people, I am not numb. The hope in my heart bursts into flying shrapnel. You're making a serious mistake, Mr. President.
Pakistan: "The Most Dangerous Country" - Trailer, Video, Petition, Submission, Updates
Pakistan: "The Most Dangerous Country" (Trailer)
Pakistan is in such a perilous state that Bruce Riedel, a foreign policy expert leading President Obama's Afghanistan review, has called it "the most dangerous country in the world today." Pakistan has nuclear weapons and a government disconnected from the poverty, malnutrition, and lack of healthcare afflicting its people. And though Pakistan remains a U.S. ally, tensions continue to rise as the U.S. considers broadening military strikes within Pakistan's borders. Part two of Rethink Afghanistan focuses on how the Afghanistan crisis affects Pakistan and all of us.

Commentary: Afghanistan and Pakistan's Wilderness of Mirrors
Commentary: Afghanistan and Pakistan's wilderness of mirrors
By Arnaud De Borchgrave | UPI
The ancient Arab proverb "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" does not apply in Pakistan. Knowledge of Raumschach, or space chess, as played on "Star Trek" is more useful. It's a form of 3-D chess where one can lose on several levels.
The geopolitical nexus of Afghanistan-Pakistan-Federally Administered Tribal Areas-India is now seen in the White House as a regional crisis that requires a holistic politico-military approach. But suspicions and disinformation about each other's motives, replete with conspiracy theories, have combined to make Pakistan, the Muslim world's only nuclear power, the most dangerous place on Earth.
President Obama sees the enemy in Afghanistan as the Taliban and al-Qaida. But al-Qaida shelters and the Taliban rests and trains in the mountain fastness of the Hindu Kush in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas. And while Pakistan is "a major non-NATO ally," it also assists, through its Inter Services Intelligence agency, the Taliban insurgents fighting the U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan.
Greg Mortenson: Targeted by the Taliban, the 'Three Cups of Tea' Author Never Gave Up on His Peacebuilding Efforts
Greg Mortenson: Targeted by the Taliban, the 'Three Cups of Tea' Author Never Gave Up on His Peacebuilding Efforts
By Alice Maggine | ABCNews
Greg Mortenson has been promoting peace by building schools and purging ignorance in Pakistan and Afghanistan for more than a decade.
"If you fight terrorism, that's based in fear. But if you promote peace, that's based in hope," Mortenson said. "And the real enemy I think is ignorance. It's ignorance that breeds hatred."
It all started accidently. In 1993 on his way down from a harrowing and unsuccessful climb of the world's second tallest mountain, K2 in northern Pakistan, an exhausted and dehydrated Mortenson stumbled into the village of Korphe. The people of the village helped him get well. While recovering he noticed the children had nowhere to learn.
"When I saw those 84 children sitting in the dirt and they asked for help to build a school I made a promise that day that I would help them," Mortenson explained.
Mortenson returned to the United States and began to try to raise money for the project. He composed letters on a borrowed electric typewriter and sent them to 580 celebrities asking for help. He got one $100 check.
"What changed things around was that my mother, who is an elementary school principal in Wisconsin, invited me to come and talk to the kids. A fourth grader named Jeffrey said I have piggy bank at home and I am going to help you," Mortenson said.
Jeffrey and his school mates raised 62,400 pennies.
The Great Afghan Bailout: It's Time to Change Names, Switch Analogies
The Great Afghan Bailout: It's Time to Change Names, Switch Analogies
By Tom Engelhardt
Let's start by stopping.
It's time, as a start, to stop calling our expanding war in Central and South Asia "the Afghan War" or "the Afghanistan War." If Obama's special representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke doesn't want to, why should we? Recently, in a BBC interview, he insisted that "the 'number one problem' in stabilizing Afghanistan was Taliban sanctuaries in western Pakistan, including tribal areas along the Afghan border and cities like Quetta" in the Pakistani province of Baluchistan.
Welcome to Vietnam, Mr. President
Welcome to Vietnam, Mr. President
By Ray McGovern
I was wrong. I had been saying that it would be naïve to take too seriously presidential candidate Barack Obama's rhetoric regarding the need to escalate the war in Afghanistan. I kept thinking to myself that when he got briefed on the history of Afghanistan and the oft proven ability of Afghan "militants" to drive out foreign invaders—from Alexander the Great, to the Persians, the Mongolians, Indians, British, Russians—he would be sure to understand why they call mountainous Afghanistan the "graveyard of empires."
White House Won't Rule Out Troops for Pakistan War
By Noah Shachtman, WIRED
President Obama has just laid out his new war strategy. And he's made it clear that the fight is both in Afghanistan and Pakistan. So I asked Dennis McDonough, with the National Security Council: Does that mean U.S. ground forces in Pakistan? Or more drone attacks? "I'm not going to comment on the notions you laid out there," he answered, during a White House conference call with bloggers. But during a separate press conference, Bruce Reidel, who recently completed a strategy review of the region for the White House, offered some hints. READ THE REST.
Afghanistan: The Four Questions
President Obama is expected to "announce" his "new" Afghanistan strategy Friday - the traditional Washington day for burying things. But there aren't likely to be many surprises. The Administration has been dribbling details out to the news media, and what has been foreshadowed includes: more troops, more civilians, narrower goals; a renewed concession, perhaps, that there is no military solution.
Obama's Moment is Passing Quickly
By Dave Lindorff
The actions of Obama's Chief Financial Adviser Larry Summers and his Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner in permitting the payment of $165 million in bonuses to AIG executives (Summers, according to the Wall Street Journal, actually pressed Sen. Chris Dodd, D-CT, to secretly remove a bar to the payment of such bonuses from the bailout bill) and storm of public outrage that has followed public disclosure of those payments, provides President Obama, whose administration is stumbling badly on many fronts, to turn things around and avoid political disaster.
He should promptly demand Geithner's and Summers' resignations, and should also fire the CEO of AIG, Edward Liddy (as 80% owner of AIG, the US has the power to do that anytime). It would also be a good idea at the same time to fire the CEOs of all the leading banks that are at this point surviving on government bailouts.
On Eve of Protests in Pakistan, Government Buckles, Offers Concessions
On eve of protests in Pakistan, government buckles, offers concessions
By Saeed Shah | McClatchy Newspapers
Pakistan's embattled government announced key concessions to opposition demands Saturday, on the eve of a mass protest in Islamabad that had raised fears of bloody clashes in the streets.
The move to defuse tensions came as the army was put on standby, to be deployed in case of serious civil unrest, and the capital Islamabad was sealed ahead of the planned arrival of the protesters from across the country on Monday. The opposition is campaigning for an independent judiciary.

- May 2009
The hotel's biggest advantage is the central location in the city center. We had a parking in the hotel garage. But everything very tight, nothing for large vehicles. There was no lift on our floor, the suitcases we carry via a small narrow staircase. The bathroom was tiny, no windows and mold on the ceiling. Hotel and room amenities were already aged. The room had a small builtin kitchen behind the cupboard. We didn't go for a breakfast option and decided to go to the nearby city center to the food. read hotel review

Training in niche areas such as Medical Transcription and 2D Animation are being imparted in Manipur. To enhance the employability of the educated youth in the ITES and Hospitality sectors, soft-skills training is also imparted by private sector institutions. The pool of talented manpower from Manipur is getting well aligned to the needs of the IT/ITES industry. Broadly, the goal of the Government of Manipur is working to facilitate the production and training of the educated English-speaking youth of Manipur with the IT qualifications and skill-set required by the IT/ITES industry for their employment.
Business-friendly IT Infrastructure:Manipur State is striving to score higher on being business-friendly in terms of the available IT infrastructure. These include:
Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) unit of Imphal with Earth station and OFC connectivity.
Upgradation of IT infrastructure at Imphal to provide modern Business-ready built-up office space for IT/ITES firms.
Uninterrupted Power Supply – A dedicated 11KV power line has been extended to the IT Park.
Data connectivity and Internet over OFC – The PGCIL has an OFC backbone running on 132KV Towers which are extremely reliable. Terrestrial OFC of BSNL and AirTel are also available.

Love It
By Cat Lover
from Ontario
I'm short and petite so I love the length and 3/4 sleeves. Ordered my normal small roomy but not baggy.

Pretty but large
By PatriciaB
from Winnipeg, Manitoba
I ordered the white and black. It is lightweight and not as thick as it looks on tv. It is classic looking and reminds me of chanel. I do think it is sized too large though. I am a size 10 and the medium is too big so keep that in mind. The length is good and the sale price is fantastic.
