With the Middle East in an unprecedented state of turmoil, the need for smooth and orderly transfers of power in Saudi Arabia – ruled by a 90-year-old infirm monarch – has become more crucial than ever – but who will inherit the kingdom in the coming years is a thorny issue yet to be resolved. Saudi Arabia is a large and influential country. Guardian of the two most holy sites in Islam, it regards itself as leader of the Sunni community worldwide.
'Violent' stock market crash could be round the corner warns think-tank
The Bank of International Settlements said that suspiciously low levels of volatility in the markets seen this year suggest a lack of liquidity that could trip up investors who assume they can dispense of assets when a sell-off begins. Guy Debelle of BIS said global investors were buying assets on the misguided presumption of liquidity that does not exist and that in a possible sell-off, volatility and price movements 'will be exacerbated by the reduced capacity and inventory of market makers'.
Ukraine Bonds Sink as Risk of War in East Stokes Default Concern
Ukrainian bonds slumped the most since March as the threat of open war in the nation's east deepened concern the government will struggle to repay debt. The International Monetary Fund has warned that a $17 billion bailout may not be enough to keep the former Soviet republic of 43 million people afloat. The conflict will deepen the recession, deplete foreign-currency reserves and weaken the hryvnia, JPMorgan Chase & Co. said in a report yesterday.
'Game of drones' highlights France's nuclear vulnerability
Unidentified drones have made flights over 11 French nuclear power stations since the beginning of October. French authorities and nuclear experts are becoming increasingly worried about this activity, which Libération has dubbed the "game of drones". "These are very serious events! I do not understand why they are not taken more seriously. One issue is the unknown origin of these drones, but there is also the potential danger demonstrated by this kind of occurrence," said Mycle Schneider.
(Update): Burkina Faso parliament set ablaze
Protesters angry at plans to allow Burkina Faso's President Blaise Compaore to extend his 27-year-rule have set fire to parliament. Correspondents say the city hall and ruling party headquarters are also in flames in the capital, Ouagadougou. A huge crowd is surging towards the presidential palace and the main airport has been shut. MPs have suspended a vote on changing the constitution to allow Mr Compaore to stand for re-election next year.
Geopolitical risks make TAPI project practically impossible
"Currently, the prospect of increased competition is preserved, and it occurs on the background of high geopolitical risks that make the TAPI project practically impossible," he said. The expert also reminded that a significant part of the gas pipeline will pass through unstable regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan, cross the border between India and Pakistan. This will create serious problems that will make it impossible to rely on the successful implementation of the project, said Nuriyev.
Libya terror camps thrive as looted arms pour into Salvador Triangle
TRIPOLI Libya's remote desert south has become a haven for north African rebels who have set up training camps in what has traditionally been a hotbed of arms smuggling, experts say. Weapons looted from his arsenal have made their way to the so-called 'Salvador Triangle', a no-man's land formed by the porous borders of Libya, Algeria and Niger, experts say. For years the triangle was the backyard of smugglers and traffickers through which illicit weapons flowed easily between north Africa and countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
Black Swans And The Death Of Empires
If El Niño, the periodic Pacific weather pattern, returns this winter, the increased rain could save California from its current severe drought. But while El Niño can rescue areas from drought, it can destroy entire civilizations, as scientists are now discovering. An El Niño accompanied the Black Death, the plague that wiped out 200 million people and perhaps half the population of Europe around 1346. Everything from the great influenza pandemic of 1918, which killed 50 million people, to the fall of the Mayan and Inca empires can be linked to El Niño.
US Military Girds for More 'Unconventional Warfare'
The US military must prepare for murky, undeclared wars in which foreign entities use proxy insurgencies against established governments. The paper describes how US rivals are employing unconventional warfare (UW) — the external sponsorship of insurgent and separatist movements — and argues for a comprehensive joint, inter-agency, intergovernmental and multinational [JIIM] strategy that applies "political, economic, military and psychological pressure."
Currency Wars Evolve With Goal of Avoiding Deflation
Currency wars are back, though this time the goal is to steal inflation, not growth. Brazil Finance Minister Guido Mantega popularized the term "currency war" in 2010 to describe policies employed at the time by major central banks to boost the competitiveness of their economies through weaker currencies. Now, many see lower exchange rates as a way to avoid crippling deflation. Weak price growth is stifling economies from the euro region to Israel and Japan.
Blowback to Qatar: Shocks to the World
Qatar is the world's largest exporter of liquified natural gas (LNG). North Field, the biggest known conventional gas field in the world, is just off its shores. Consequently, an attack on its LNG production and export infrastructure could produce great shocks in the LNG, oil, and coal markets, and eventually could seriously damage the world economy. Qatar's outward looking foreign policy is almost entirely based on projecting power through its oil and gas wealth
75 killed in five days of fighting in Libya's Benghazi
Nine people were killed Sunday in new violence in Benghazi where pro-government forces have launched an offensive against Islamist militias, raising the toll to 75 dead in five days, medics said. In the latest violence a woman was killed in a bomb attack that targeted the vacant house of former general Khalifa Haftar, the commander of the offensive launched Wednesday, a military source said. Fierce fighting raged in several parts of Libya's second city between pro-government forces led by Haftar and Islamist militias.
Sudan Could Be Arming S. Sudan Rebels, Says Report
Sudan's government plans to increase military assistance to rebels in South Sudan, which could prolong the south's civil war and return the region to a wider conflict, according to a leaked document. Sudan will provide tanks and artillery and share intelligence with rebels fighting South Sudan's government, according to the minutes of a high-level meeting of security and military officials in Khartoum, that a top American expert on Sudan has concluded are real.
Iran and the Proxy War in Kurdistan
In the midst of the war against ISIS now taking place in both Iraq and Syria, a possible shifting of alliances that could fundamentally alter the balance of power in the region is taking place, and no one seems to have noticed. Specifically, the burgeoning relationship between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region of Northern Iraq has the potential to remake the political landscape of the Middle East. Naturally, such a development is part of a broader geopolitical gambit by Iran.
Is Turkey going Pakistan's way?
But what is happening in Turkey is uncannily similar to what happened in Pakistan. Turkey acted as a conduit to the FSA as much as Pakistan did to the Mujahedeen. The FSA gradually fragmented and spawned the vicious ISIS just like the Mujahedeen became the Taliban. Admittedly Taliban is not as virulent as the IS, but the ideology and modus operandi are the same. Pakistan came into being as a Muslim state with Mohammad Ali Jinnah as the strident advocate of a separate Muslim state in India.
California overdue for major earthquake that could cripple water supply system, new study says
Three fault segments running beneath Northern California and its roughly 15 million people are overdue for a major earthquake, including one that lies northeast of San Francisco and near the dams and canals that supply much of the state's water, according to a geological study. They include the little-known Green Valley fault, which lies northeast of San Francisco and near the dams and canals that supply much of California's water, underestimated by geologists until now.
Ukraine Reaction: Lithuania introduces new measures against unconventional war threats
The Lithuanian Ministry of National Defense announced new legal and practical measures created to respond to unconventional war threats. "Nowadays, procedures activating the military forces don't ensure a proper scope and timely response," Juozas Olekas, Minister of National Defense, said in a statement. Olekas said that current global context requires more efficient processes of army activation and a wider mandate to use munitions.
Risks Behind Russia's Gas Supplies to China via Western Route
"Russia's border with China in this area is very small [a few tens of kilometers]. The conditions for laying a pipeline aren't the best there due to the specifics of the terrain. For this reason, Mongolia and Kazakhstan may be considered a more fitting option for this route… Altai [pipeline]has not been agreed yet, so the route may change," Energy Development Fund director Sergey Pikin said. Routing through Kazakhstan or Mongolia can help solve a number of technological problems and eliminate the environmental risks of supply.
Germany Unable to Meet NATO Readiness Target
Germany's military is unable to meet its medium-term readiness target should NATO call on its members to mobilize against an attack, officials said Monday. The revelation follows days of embarrassing reports about equipment failures that included German army instructors being stranded in Bulgaria en route to Iraq when their plane broke down, and delays in sending weapons to arm Kurdish fighters because of another transport problem. But, he said, Germany's short-term readiness isn't an issue.
EU asking shippers for daily updates on Russian natural gas supply
Since Monday, the European Commission has been asking some European gas shippers via national regulators to fill in a form daily to check if nominations for natural gas are being met by physical flows from Russia, ICIS has learnt. Some worry exists among EU leaders of a disruption in the supply of Russian gas to Europe. There is a fear that the flow of Russian gas transiting through Ukraine could be disrupted, although there has been no sign of this so far since the flare up geopolitical tensions in Ukraine. There is also a worry Russia could disrupt supply in response to sanctions or other reasons, even if this is viewed as unlikely.
Secret nuclear cargo along coast of Norway
Despite cold political climate, the U.S. and Russia cooperated on a secret September voyage with Highly-enriched uranium from Poland to Murmansk. Norwegian radiation authorities not informed before the vessel sailed into its economical zone. Head of Vardø Vessel Traffic Service, Ståle Sveinungsen, confirms to BarentsObserver that the vessel "Mikhail Dudin" was carrying a load of highly radioactive material when it sailed along the coast of Norway two weeks ago. Last position of the vessel, was just outside Atomflot in the Kola Bay.
Polish defence firms ready to sell arms to Ukraine – Polish minister
NATO member Poland is ready to sell arms to Ukraine if there is demand, Polish Defence Minister Tomasz Siemoniak said on Monday. "I confirm that the Polish defence industry is interested in this direction," Siemoniak told private radio station Zet. "There are several products that may be interesting for Ukraine." "If only there is a will and a readiness to purchase any elements of armaments in Poland, then Polish factories dream of nothing else but exports," he also said.
Spain prepares for an autumn of discontent by buying €1bn of riot gear
The Spanish government is readying itself for an autumn of discontent, spending nearly €1bn on riot gear for police units as disparate protest groups prepare a string of demonstrations. Since June, the interior ministry has tendered four contracts to purchase riot equipment ranging from shields to stab vests. The ministry also finalised its purchase of a new truck-mounted water cannon, an anti-riot measure used during Spain's dictatorship and the transition to democracy but little seen in recent years.
Nagorno-Karabakh: A mountainous conflict
Nagorno-Karabakh is run by ethnic Armenians but is legally part of Azerbaijan. Secession in 1988 led to a war that killed some 30,000 people. A shaky ceasefire ensued in 1994, with Azerbaijan losing 14% of its territory. Exchanges of fire along the front have long been common, but the clashes this year have been the worst since 1994. Azerbaijan feels vulnerable. Russia provides a security guarantee for Armenia, where it has a military base and 4,000-5,000 troops.
Yemen: The Houthis tighten their control over Sanaa
Sanaa is about to fall in the hands of the Houthis. It is true they reached the city three times before and each time they would retreat at the last minute. But this time seems different. Abdel Malik al-Houthi's group seems determined to reach its objective. It wants to clearly translate its military power and the influence of its regional alliances into political power and a piece of the Yemeni cake. The regional conflict with Saudi Arabia clearly constitutes a large part of the picture.
EU must develop 'best supporting actor' role in war zones
The new European Commission needs to shift its focus from humanitarian aid in conflict zones to conflict prevention and intervene more as a 'best supporting actor to the UN', says a paper by the European Think Tanks Group published today. Its theme is that "the new EU leadership must step up and realise that to ensure stability and economic growth at home, global issues must be tackled head on. Europe will prosper if the world is prospering," according to Kevin Watkins, ODI's executive director.
Gemocracy: How Diamond Smuggling Drives Central African Religious War
Since May 23, 2013, and the suspension of the Kimberley Process — the certification scheme for the origin of rough diamonds — the Central African Republic (CAR) has officially exported none of the many diamonds that lie in its rivers. It's a massive loss of income for this bankrupted state. In 2012, even though most of the stones were already fraudulently exported, almost 372,000 carats were transported out of the country legally for a value equal to around 45 million euros.
Ten more countries that may default on debt after Argentina
Argentina is not the only country that has struggled to pay its debt recently. There are 10 other countries currently on Moody's lists with a rating of Caa1 or worse, meaning they are at risk of default. Ecuador, Egypt, Pakistan, Venezuela, Belize, Cuba, Cyprus, Greece, Jamaica and Ukraine are all on the verge of a default, according to Moody's ratings. Moody's currently rates the country's economy as stable and it is predicted that it will continue its healthy trend set in the past six years.
Venezuelan President Announces Mandatory Fingerprinting at Grocery Stores
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced Wednesday that the country will introduce a mandatory fingerprinting system in supermarkets. He asserted that the plan will keep people from buying too much of any single item. The president did not say when the measure would go into effect, the Associated Press reports. The Socialist Venezuelan government has struggled with food shortages for over a year. Basic cooking items like oil and flour are scarce.
Spanish public debt tops one trillion euros
Spain's public debt has topped one trillion euros ($1.3 trillion) for the first time, despite years of government-imposed austerity. The nation's accumulated public debt mushroomed to 1.007 trillion euros at the end of June from 996 billion euros a month earlier, the Bank of Spain said in a report. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's government has struggled to contain annual deficits by raising taxes, freezing public salaries and curbing spending on services such as education and health care despite angry street protests.
Islamic State seizes control of Iraq's oil, wheat
ISIS terrorists are currently in control of seven oil fields in Iraq and large amounts of the country's wheat supplies.
Iraqi officials said on Wednesday that the militants were holding government silos in five of Iraq's most fertile provinces, where the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) says 40 percent of the country's wheat is grown. "Now is the worst time for food insecurity," said Fadel al-Zubi, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) representative for Iraq.
South Korean Armed Forces Face Enemy Within: Suicides And Murder
South Korea's army faces a foe that's currently causing far more controversy than the North Korean forces massed above the demilitarized zone – and may be just as dangerous. Sagging military morale among the South's 640,000 troops has resulted in suicides, mass shootings and, most alarming of all from the viewpoint of the top command, the torture murder of a young soldier. In a country that still requires a minimum 21 months military service, young Koreans seem increasingly unwilling to serve.
What Happens Now That Argentina Is in 'Selective Default'
Default is a major disaster for a government, but not much will happen right away now that Standard & Poor's has declared Argentina to be in "selective default." S&P (MHFI) took the action today after Argentina's talks with holdout creditors continued past the end of the 30-day grace period for a $539 million bond payment. Defaults are usually bad for bond prices. But prices for Argentine bonds soared today to their highest level since 2010. They rose 10¢ to reach almost 96¢ on the dollar.
Iranian commanders at forefront of Iraqi fight
A powerful Iranian general has emerged as the chief tactician in Iraq's fight against Sunni militants, working on the front lines alongside 120 advisers from his country's Revolutionary Guard to direct Shiite militiamen and government forces in the smallest details of battle, militia commanders and government officials say. The startlingly hands-on role of Iranian Gen. Ghasem Soleimani points to the extent of the Shiite-led Iraqi government's reliance on its ally Tehran. The Iranian role, however, risks further sharpening the sectarian rifts in the conflict.
Greece tops eurozone poverty rate
Greece ranks first in the eurozone and fourth among the 28 members of the European Union for the percentage of its citizens living on or below the poverty line, according to a new report. The study, conducted by the Foundation for Economic and Industrial Research (IOBE), found that just over a third (34.6%) of Greeks – some 3,795,100 individuals – were living on less than 60% of the national median income in 2013.This percentage has risen steadily since 2010, when the country began implementing austerity measures.
Portugal's Espirito Santo bank shares plunge on rating cut
Portuguese bank Banco Espirito Santo, battling a financial crisis crippling its main shareholder, came under renewed stock market pressure on Thursday after a credit downgrade. Shares in the bank, which had rallied strongly on Wednesday from record low levels, plunged again in morning trading. They fell by 6.59 percent to 0.43 euros, shedding ten percent at one point. The declines pushed down the overall Portuguese stock market, which fell 1.14 percent.
Security situation may spark spy wars in Lebanon
The report speaks of the fear circulating in diplomatic circles that despite the extraordinary efforts of the security forces and the support of international actors who would prefer to see Lebanon stabilized, the country is in danger of falling prey to the bad intentions of certain regional and international parties. These fundamentalist groups receive political support and cover from known regional powers and they are planning a new wave of bombings and assassinations that have a purely political goal, it claims.
Stolen uranium compounds not only dirty bomb ingredients within ISIS' grasp, say experts
Plenty of materials for a potential dirty bomb are likely scattered throughout the area of Iraq controlled by ISIS, and pulling off an attack that spreads even a minor amount of radiation could be a huge PR coup for the terror group, experts say. Last week, the Iraqi government in Baghdad warned the UN that ISIS operatives had stolen 88 pounds of uranium compounds from Mosul University. Even though many experts said the research materials were not enough to cause widespread harm, spreading fear is even more important.
99% of Kirkuk oil is under Peshmerga control
Both Bai Hassan and Kirkuk Oil fields in Kirkuk province are now under Peshmerga control, with the Islamic State of Iraq and Sham (ISIS) having ceased control of one other oil field in the area, from where they smuggle oil to Hamreen Mountains according to a source from North Oil co. who asked to remain anonymous. "Both oil fields have been controlled by the Kurdish Peshmerga forces. These two oil fields are important and very beneficial for Kirkuk because it is the place from where oil is exported abroad," said the source.
Bulgaria to allow its fourth-biggest bank to collapse
Bulgaria is to allow its fourth-biggest lender to collapse and will hive off its healthy activities into a separate bank as it moves to clear up the mess from the country's worst financial scandal since the 1990s. The central bank said it was removing Corporate Commercial Bank's (Corpbank) license and alerting prosecutors to the possibility that its main shareholder stole money from the bank just before the central bank took over its operations.
Germany clears path for EU to directly fund ailing banks
The EU's bailout fund has moved closer to being able to directly pump money into troubled banks after the German government introduced a bill allowing direct bank recapitalisation. The German government has introduced a bill allowing the EU's bailout fund to directly fund struggling banks. The draft law will now require approval in the Bundestag, but is planned to enter into force in November. "This is an important step to stabilise our financial sector … and to increase further the trust in our common European currency,"
Blackwater Founder Advising Chinese Firms On Risk In Africa
Africa is a major target for Chinese investment to secure resources, and Prince's new company — Hong Kong headquartered Frontier Services Group (FSG) — provides risk management, logistics, and aviation services to companies that want to set up in Africa. The words, "high risk, high return" apply to doing business in Africa, Prince said, but he encourages his Chinese customers to focus on another slogan: "happy locals, happy project."
Netanyahu calls for independent Kurdistan
Seizing on the mayhem in Iraq, Israel's prime minister on Sunday called for the establishment of an independent Kurdistan as part of a broader alliance with moderate forces across the region, and asserted that Israel would have to maintain a long-term military presence in the West Bank to keep a jihadi juggernaut from powering its way to the outskirts of Tel Aviv. Netanyahu suggested that the territorial gains made this month by ISIS could endanger neighboring Jordan
Here are the countries showing early warning signs for banking crises
History shows that when the difference between a country or region's credit-to-GDP ratio and the long-term trends of that ratio exceeds 10%, it indicates a pretty rapid accumulation of debt and is usually followed by serious strain on a banking system within 3 years. When residential property prices start rising above their long term trends, that often points to a credit boom and comes two to three years ahead of a crisis.
Bulgaria banks under attack, hit with second bank run
Bulgaria's central bank said yesterday there was a systematic attempt to destabilise the country through attacks on the banking system and vowed to protect citizens' savings. Depositors queued in the capital Sofia to withdraw funds from one of the country's biggest banks and its shares slumped, worsening a crisis that has shone a light on weak economic governance in the poorest European Union state. The central bank took control of Corporate Commercial Bank (Corpbank) after a run on deposits.
South Sudan 'most fragile state' in world
The world's newest country, South Sudan, has topped the list of fragile states in this year's index released by a leading US-based research institute. Chronic instability, fractured leadership and growing ethnic conflict made it the most fragile state, The Fund for Peace said. The top six countries on the index are all in sub-Saharan Africa. Afghanistan was listed as the seventh most fragile state followed by Yemen, Haiti and Pakistan. Syria is 15th.
Run on Corpbank prompted Bulgaria to seize control
A run on Corporate Commercial Bank (Corpbank) prompted Bulgaria's central bank to take control of the country's fourth-largest lender and its governor appealed to depositors to stay calm. The Bulgarian National Bank (BNB) said it would handle Corpbank's operations for three months and removed its management and supervisory board after the run, which was sparked by media reports of shady deals involving the bank. The BNB said it acted after Corpbank said it had stopped all bank operations due to a liquidity drain.
Iraqi military facing 'psychological collapse' after losses, desertions
The 300 U.S. advisers authorized to assist the Iraqi security forces will find an army in crisis mode, so lacking in equipment and shaken by desertions that it may not be able to win back significant chunks of territory from al-Qaeda renegades for months or even years, analysts and officials say. After tens of thousands of desertions, the Iraqi military is reeling from what one U.S. official described as "psychological collapse" in the face of the offensive from militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
IMF ready to ask ECB to begin quantitative easing
The managing director of the International Monetary Fund is expected to launch an appeal to the European Central Bank on Thursday, urging it to deal with deflationary risks by beginning a form of quantitative easing, the Financial Times newspaper reported. That would include large purchases of sovereign bonds to stimulate growth, the newspaper said Wednesday, citing a draft of a statement from the IMF based on its annual evaluation of the eurozone's economic health.
The cost of global violence and unrest: US $1,350 per person
Violent conflict and unrest cost the world as much as the combined economic output of Britain, Germany, France and Italy last year, or $1,350 per person globally, an index measuring the state of world peace found on Wednesday. The economic cost of containing and dealing with the consequences of global violence last year was an estimated $9.8 trillion, 11.3 percent of global economic output, up 3.8 percent from 2012, according to the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP).
Risk of new Argentinian debt default after vulture fund verdict
President Cristina Fernandez says Argentina can't possibly comply with U.S. court orders to pay $1.5 billion in cash to winners of a decade-long debt dispute, the position her country was left in Monday when the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear her government's final appeal. Under the U.S. court orders, Argentina must hand over $907 million to the plaintiffs, or lose the ability to use the U.S. financial system to pay an equal amount due June 30 to holders of other Argentine bonds.
Kurdish Forces Take Control in Northern Iraqi City of Kirkuk As Iraqi Army Flees
Iraq edged closer to all-out sectarian conflict on Thursday as Kurdish forces took control of a provincial capital in the oil-rich north and Sunni militants vowed to march on two cities revered by Shiite Muslims. Kurdish military units known as peshmerga said they had taken up positions in key government installations in Kirkuk, as forces of the Shiite-dominated government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki abandoned their posts and fled in fear of advancing Sunni militants, an official in the office of the provincial governor said.
Pentagon preparing for mass civil breakdown
A US Department of Defense (DoD) research programme is funding universities to model the dynamics, risks and tipping points for large-scale civil unrest across the world, under the supervision of various US military agencies. The multi-million dollar programme is designed to develop immediate and long-term "warfighter-relevant insights" for senior officials and decision makers in "the defense policy community," and to inform policy implemented by "combatant commands."
Iran: 5,000km-Range Missile Can Hit US Indian Ocean Base Diego Garcia
Tehran has ballistic missiles able to pound targets over twice as distant as previously thought, and can reach the American mid-ocean strategic base at Diego Garcia, a senior Iranian official has explicitly warned. "In the event of a mistake on the part of the United States, their bases in Bahrain and (Diego) Garcia will not be safe from Iranian missiles," said an Iranian Revolutionary Guard adviser to Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Majatba Dhualnuri.
U.S. arms could create Syria 'warlords', rebel commander says
U.S. arms supplies to Syrian rebels may create Somali-style warlords and are undermining Washington's allies in the rebels' exile military command, the former Syrian army general who leads it said. Brigadier General Abdelilah al-Bashir, who defected in 2012 and led rebel Free Syrian Army (FSA) forces in the Golan before becoming chief-of-staff of the FSA's Supreme Military Council in February, told Reuters that Washington was bypassing the SMC in sending weapons directly to groups that were hard to control.
Afghan economy on edge as investors flee
Jackhammers are down and excavators gather dust at a Kabul construction site, spotlighting an aid-reliant economy on the edge of a precipice as Afghanistan's war winds down and a tenuous political transition looms.The country's banks are at grave risk of being put on an international blacklist this month if parliament fails to pass a long-demanded money laundering bill — with potentially devastating consequences for the already-fragile economy.
ISIL chief poised to become world's most influential militant?
The shadowy leader of thousands of Islamist fighters in Syria and Iraq, many of them westerners, appears to be surpassing Al Qaeda chief Ayman Al Zawahiri as the world's most influential militant. Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi's Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant – known for its ruthless tactics and suicide bombers – is arguably the most capable force fighting Syrian president Bashar Al Assad, and has even held control of a major Iraqi city for the past five months, in tandem with other groups.
Scottish independence will lead to 'Balkanisation' of Britain, warns Swedish foreign minister
Sweden's Foreign Minister Carl Bildt warned on Wednesday that Scottish independence would lead to the "Balkanisation" of the United Kingdom that would have consequences for the rest of Europe.Bildt told the Financial Times newspaper that a vote for independence in September's referendum which would see Scotland leave the 307-year-old union would trigger "unforeseen chain reactions" in both the United Kingdom and continental Europe.
Tensions flare at Burma-Bangladesh border
Troops clashed at the Burma-Bangladesh border oas tensions boiled over while Burmese soldiers were returning the body of a Bangladeshi killed in a skirmish two days before, AFP has reported. Citing Devdash Bhattacharya, the Bangladeshi police chief in the district of Bandarban, the report said that gunfire broke out on Friday afternoon when the Burmese border police failed to return the dead soldier's body on time.
Half of Yemen on the verge of starvation
More than 10 million of Yemen's some 25 million inhabitants are either severely food insecure — meaning they require food assistance because they cannot find enough food for themselves — or teetering on the edge, the World Food Program said. The country has one of the world's highest levels of malnutrition among children, with nearly half of all kids under the age of five — a full two million of them — stunted, WFP spokeswoman Elisabeth Byrs told reporters.
Water Wars: Ankara suspends pumping Euphrates' water, cutting off the water supply to Syria and Iraq
The Turkish government recently cut off the flow of the Euphrates River, threatening primarily Syria but also Iraq with a major water crisis. Al-Akhbar found out that the water level in Lake Assad has dropped by about six meters, leaving millions of Syrians without drinking water. Two weeks ago, the Turkish government once again intervened in the Syrian crisis. The repercussions of which may bring unprecedented catastrophes onto both Iraq and Syria.
ECB 'alert' to deflation risk: Mario Draghi
The European Central Bank is "alert" to the risks of persistently low inflation, president Mario Draghi said on Monday amid speculation of further interest rates cuts to avert possible deflation. "What we need to be particularly watchful for at the moment is, in my view, the potential for a negative spiral to take hold between between low inflation, falling inflation expectations and credit, in particular in stressed countries," he said.
EU Industry Challenged by Supply Risks of Critical Raw Materials
The European Commission has published a revised and extended list of Critical Raw Materials, based on threatened supply coupled with economic importance. The 2014 list includes 13 of the 14 materials identified in the previous list of 2011, with only tantalum moving out of the list due to a lower supply risk. Six new materials appear on the list: borates, chromium, coking coal, magnesite, phosphate rock and silicon metal bringing the number up to 20 raw materials which are now considered critical by the European Commission.
Water a precious resource in Mexico
Today in Mexico, Latin America's second largest economy, 10.5 million people — 9.1 percent of its 118 million people — have no direct access to drinking water, according to government figures. President Enrique Pena Nieto said recently that 35 million Mexicans have limited access in terms of quantity and quality. He said resolving this basic problem was a "national priority." There is only one small river, and 73% of the city's water comes from underground.
'Risk map' of Italy's Mount Vesuvius prepared
An emergency preparedness "risk map" of Mount Vesuvius, Europe's only active volcano, has been prepared, Italian geologists said. The map of 650 square kilometers (251 square miles) — including the mountain and the nearby city of Naples — was prepared by researchers from Pisa and Bari Universities, and "permits the first major preliminary evaluation of the areas potentially at risk," a Pisa University statement said.
Pak gas, oil reserves depleting by 3pc every day: OGDCL MD
Pakistan's natural resources, particularly reserves of gas and oil, are dwindling by 2-3 percent every day which is an alarming development, though the incumbent government has increased its focus on indigenous exploration and production of resources. This has been disclosed by OGDCL Managing Director Riaz Khan here on Wednesday in a meeting of the subcommittee of the Senate Committee on petroleum and natural resources.
World water and food security lab set up
MIT has received a major gift from alumnus Mohammed Abdul Latif Jameel '78 aimed at ensuring the world's food and water supply for the 21st century. The gift establishes the Abdul Latif Jameel World Water and Food Security Lab (J-WAFS), named in honor of Mohammed's late father, to spearhead research that will help humankind adapt to a rapidly changing planet and combat worldwide water and food-supply scarcity.
Rebels in southern Syria on the brink of turning on each other
Moderate opposition factions and Islamist rebels from Jabhat Al Nusra were on the brink of going to war with each other on Sunday night in what would be a dramatic spread of rebel-on-rebel violence to Syria's southern front.
Mediation efforts, under way since last Saturday's capture of Ahmed Nehmeh, a commander in the western and Gulf-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA), were continuing in northern Jordan in a last-ditch attempt to avert an outbreak of open hostilities among rebels.
Resource rich countries lead global conflict and political violence index
Over the last six months, levels of conflict and political violence have jumped significantly in 48 countries as a consequence of popular revolutions and regime change, a study released reveals. In its latest conflict and political violence index, global risk analytics company Maplecroft analyzed 197 nations, placing the most risky at the top of the list. These countries include resource-rich Central African Republic (ranked 2nd most at risk), South Sudan (4th), Somalia (6th), DR Congo (7th), and Libya (8th), all of which saw significant increases in risk.
Asia most vulnerable to Mideast oil supply shock: Report
Asia's growing dependence on Middle Eastern oil has amplified the risks it faces if the Strait of Hormuz is suddenly shut, making it more vulnerable to such a disruption than other regions, UK think-tank Chatham House said on Wednesday. Asia is more at risk than Europe and the United States to a cut in Middle Eastern supplies as it buys 75 percent of the region's oil exports, said Chatham House energy security expert John Mitchell in a report – Asia's Oil Supply: Risks and Pragmatic Remedies.
Hezbollah warns of power vacuum
Hezbollah called for a political consensus on a new president and warned that Lebanon might slip into a power vacuum if no head of state is elected by May 25. "If no consensus is reached, it means that … we might plunge into [power] vacuum," Qassem warned. "I'm not saying we want [a power] vacuum, but I'm saying that this vacuum is the natural result of the failure by some [politicians] to make consensual decisions."
So Many Jihadists Are Flocking to Libya, It's Becoming 'Scumbag Woodstock'
In the nearly 20 months since the September 11, 2012 Benghazi attacks, al Qaeda operatives and allied terrorists have flocked to Libya, making the fragile North African country a hub for those seeking to wage jihad from north Africa, current and former U.S. counterterrorism officials tell The Daily Beast. Not only does al Qaeda host Ansar al-Sharia, one of the militias responsible for the Benghazi attacks that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
Terrorism/sabotage should be ranked higher, Aon's underrated threat survey says
Terrorism/sabotage was ranked 46. "It is barely conceivable that a little over a decade after one of the most impactful risk events in recent world history, the ranking for terrorism is so low," the report states. "The sad truth is that terrorism attacks are not confined to politically or economically unstable regions. They can happen anywhere, anytime and without reason, but their horrible commonality is that the results are almost always devastating."
Water pollution causes cancer villages: MONRE
It was recently revealed that the company has been illegally burying hundreds of tons of chemicals underground for the last several years. About 1,000 people residing nearby, especially those living close to Roc Niu-Bai Tho have been diagnosed with various diseases, such as cancer, neurological disorders, infertility and birth defects. At the time when the water source was discovered to be contaminated with arsenic, tens of people in the locality had already been stricken with various cancers.
Kashmir a global flashpoint with risk of nuke war: US Think-Tank
Heavy military spending in India and Pakistan has been detrimental to the citizens of both countries, a US think-tank has said urging the two neighbours to reinvest in trade and confidence building. The Washington-based Atlantic Council warns that "Kashmir remains a potential global flashpoint that could escalate into a nuclear war very quickly." Although many in the two countries now favour rapprochement, the report argues that "unless both sides begin a dialogue on economic and military relations, these issues will only worsen."
Kuwait, a U.S. ally on Syria, is also the leading funder of extremist rebels
Kuwait, a U.S. ally whose aid to besieged Syrian civilians has been surpassed only by the United States this year, is also the leading source of funding for al-Qaeda-linked terrorists fighting in Syria's civil war, according to Obama administration officials. The amount of money that has flowed from Kuwaiti individuals and through organized charities to Syrian rebel groups such as Jabhat al-Nusra totals in the hundreds of millions of dollars, according to experts whose estimates are endorsed by the Treasury Department.
Egypt to 'escalate' Ethiopian dam dispute
"Egypt plans to take actions to escalate the situation against Ethiopia," said a western diplomat in Cairo, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "But the exact implications of these actions [are] still unclear." Egypt's main concern is water security, as the country faces a future of increasing scarcity. Nearly all of Egypt's water comes from the Nile, and its population of 83 million is growing at nearly two percent annually.
Israeli intelligence predicts collapse of the Egyptian regime in 2015
The Israeli Directorate of Military Intelligence (Aman) has predicted that the year 2015 will be a decisive one for the fate of the Egyptian regime and the coup that was led by outgoing Defence Minister Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, according to Palestine 48 news site. Colonel Roital, who heads the Egypt and Jordan Front at Aman's Research Department, reportedly said that unless huge financial support is provided to Al-Sisi's regime after he assumes power as president, the regime will likely collapse.
Cash-rich global firms face calls to crack open war chests to prop up the global economy
Impatient shareholders are calling on the world's top firms to start spending some of the eye-popping $2.8 trillion in cash built up since the financial crisis, as analysts warn that their thriftiness could be holding back global growth. Companies now need to rethink their cash strategy to create growth opportunities. Mark Carney, current head of the Bank of England, was more blunt in a 2012 speech as he derided unused corporate cash as "dead money".
EU QE?: ECB Will Turn On Its Money Printing Machine To Fuel Needed Inflation
Sunday, a top European Central Bank policymaker described how the bank will approach an asset purchase plan to tackle low inflation in the single currency bloc, saying that such a program "would not be about quantity, but about price." Eurozone inflation is running at 0.5% far below the ECB's target of just under 2% over the medium term. Several ECB policymakers have deep reservations about pursuing a US Fed style program of sovereign asset purchases.
Italian police arrest 24 allegedly plotting violent secession of wealthy Veneto region
Italian special operations units on Wednesday arrested 24 secessionists who were allegedly planning a violent campaign aimed at gaining independence for the wealthy northeastern Veneto region. Police said in a statement that the group had built an armored vehicle that they intended to deploy in St. Mark's Square in Venice. TV footage showed the so-called tank was a tractor that had been armed in some fashion.
6 of the World's Most Worrisome Disputed Territories
The former princely state of India and Pakistan (once part of the British Empire, now part of India, Pakistan, and China) has been disputed since the British relinquished control of the subcontinent in the 1940s. A heavily militarized, 450-mile-long (724-kilometer-long) Line of Control has long pitted Indian and Pakistani forces against each other in this contested Himalayan region.
North, South Korea trade live fire over sea border
The two Koreas traded hundreds of rounds of live artillery fire across their disputed maritime border Monday, forcing South Korean islanders to take shelter a day after the North drove up tensions by threatening a new nuclear test. The exchange, triggered by a three-hour North Korean live-fire exercise that dropped shells into South Korean waters, was limited to untargeted shelling into the sea, military officials said.South Korea's defence ministry said the North fired some 500 shells during the drill.
Japan Is Doomed Unless It Learns to Love Inflation
It's hard to believe, but Japan's total economy is smaller now than it was 20 years ago. The country's story has become an all-too-familiar one: boom, bust, and stagnation. As Nomura economist Richard Koo points out, Japan lost three GDPs worth of wealth when its "Heisei bubble" burst in the early 1990s. The U.S., as point of comparison, "only" lost one during the Great Crash of 1929.
Strait of Malacca Is World's New Piracy Hotspot
Maybe God has a soft spot for pirates. That would explain the Strait of Malacca, a natural paradise for seafaring bandits. Imagine an aquatic highway flowing between two marshy coasts. One shoreline belongs to Malaysia, the other to Indonesia. Each offers a maze of jungly hideaways: inlets and coves that favor pirates' stealth vessels over slow, hulking ships. It's a narrow route running 550 miles, roughly the distance between Miami and Jamaica.
Energy security towers over EU-US summit
In the wake of the Ukrainian crisis, considered a wake-up call for both the EU and the United States, meeting in Brussels for a EU-US summit today (26 March), the leaders of both blocs decided to accelerate processes to reduce Europe's dependency on Russian gas, and deliver a sound basis for a transatlantic trade deal.Forging strong economic ties across the Atlantic is a powerful political sign.
Is Algeria on the verge of a split?
Opposition groups have now agreed to boycott the upcoming polls and take their concerns to the streets, with the Barakat! (Enough!) Movement now working with political parties to support protests by student groups and non-governmental organizations. This is the first time that some many groups from so many backgrounds, including liberalists, socialists and religious groups. Their growing boycott calls suggest that the April 17 elections will have a turnout much lower than expected.
Japan cedes control of nuclear cache to U.S.
Japan will announce Monday that it will turn over to Washington more than 700 pounds of weapons-grade plutonium and a large quantity of highly enriched uranium, a decades-old research stockpile that is large enough to build dozens of nuclear weapons, according to U.S. and Japanese officials. The announcement is the biggest single success in President Barack Obama's five-year-long push to secure the world's most dangerous materials, and will come as world leaders gather here Monday for a nuclear security summit.
Citigroup's Schofield: Global Economy 'May Be Heading Into Grumbling Discontent'
While the turmoil surrounding Ukraine wasn't enough to derail a strong U.S. stock rally, the East-West conflict could bode ill for the global economy, says Mark Schofield, head of interest rate strategy at Citigroup. "All-in-all, it feels as if we may be heading into a summer of grumbling discontent, rather than the steady and progressive U.S.-led recovery that had become the consensus view around the start of the year," Schofield writes in a commentary obtained by CNBC.
Tenge in crisis, Kazakhstan in economic disarray
Recent monetary problems in Kazakhstan cast a shadow over the very viability of the "ruble zone" and the almost-quantum entanglement between post-Soviet economies is now under scrutiny. With a low Russian ruble, Ukraine de facto defaulting and a recent devaluation in Kazakhstan, the economic side of President Vladimir Putin's Eurasian integration project just took a serious blow. Countries like Armenia and Kyrgyzstan, in talks to join the Customs Union, might also find it a hard pill to swallow
After Ukraine, Afghanistan to split up? Never say never…
Could the republics of Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan see some unofficial territory move from Afghanistan into their respective domains? It could be considered a lot less imaginary than it looks at first sight. Now, with the departure of the Americans and their allies, that wall is due to crumble. With Tajik, Kyrgyz, Uzbek, Turkmen and even Kazakh communities dominating the northern regions and no Pashtun, the Taliban's ethnic basis, to speak of in sight, the scenario looks quite possible.
Ukraine crisis: Russia's referendum on Crimea secession illegal, Germany says
Germany's Angela Merkel delivered a rebuke to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday, telling him that a planned Moscow-backed referendum on whether Crimea should join Russia was illegal and violated Ukraine's constitution. Putin defended breakaway moves by pro-Russian leaders in Crimea, where Russian forces tightened their grip on the Ukrainian Black Sea peninsula by seizing another border post and a military airfield.
China's desperate need for water is forcing the relocation of hundreds of thousands of people
Its location on the Han River helped give Danjiangkou the seeming good fortune to be chosen as a keystone in China's solution to a worsening water crisis. Starting next year, about 9.5 billion cubic meters (335.5 billion cubic feet) of water from the Danjiangkou Reservoir will travel from here to over 100 cities—including Beijing—in northern China, where water is scarcer than in the south. Signs in the town proclaim it to be the "fount head" of the central route of the South-North Water Diversion Project (SNWDP).
Qatar crisis could go two ways: 'diplomacy or sanctions'
"Taking the Gulf Cooperation Council to a political abyss serves nobody's interests. The peoples and leaders of the GCC member states should have a clear awareness of just how lethal a threat the abyss politics pose to everyone," said Dr Yousuf Al Hassan, a leading Emirati political analyst. "Qatar could face sanctions clamped by the Gulf countries, including the closing of borders with Qatar, and airspace to it if Doha doesn't stop supporting the Muslim Brotherhood,".
China rural mini-bank run exposes perils of deregulation
Depositors wanting to withdraw money from a rural bank in eastern China's prosperous Jiangsu province ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday found the doors locked, their money gone and employees offering a simple explanation. "We've lent out all the money. There's none left," an employee told Reuters, repeating the explanation given to depositors weeks earlier. Word had spread that at least three rural cooperatives were running short on funds.
Ukraine Moves Toward Martial Law as Western Region Splits
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych threatened to crack down on anti-government protesters after the bloodiest clashes in the country's three-month standoff killed at least 25 people. The opposition "has crossed the line when they called people to arms," Yanukovych said on his website today. "This is an outrageous violation of the law. My advisers happen to be trying to talk me into a tough scenario, the use of force. But I have always considered the use of force a false route." Yanukovych, backed by Russia, is seeking to end the crisis that has destabilized the country of 45 million.
Jordan's fragile stability, and the risk it poses for the US
Frustrated and discouraged by the ever-shifting Cabinets that rarely deliver on their promises, reform-hungry Jordanians increasingly view the pandering monarch with a skeptical eye. And the global financial crisis, waves of refugees from neighboring Iraq and Syria and failed economic reforms have hit the country hard. Food prices have skyrocketed, economic growth has been halved and unemployment stands officially at 12 percent, and unofficially hovers around 30 percent. So far, public outrage has been limited to weekly Friday protests in cities such as Amman, Maan and Karak.
Report: Saudi Arabia Wants Uranium-Enrichment Capacity
Intelligence officials and issue analysts report signs that Saudi Arabia wants to develop a capacity to enrich uranium, despite proliferation concerns. Riyadh is understood to be worried that world powers will agree to allow Iran to maintain some limited uranium-enrichment capability in a potential lasting deal on its nuclear program. Saudi Arabia has an established interest in developing an atomic-energy program, but its concerns about Iran could be causing the Persian Gulf kingdom to consider a more expansive domestic nuclear capability, the Daily Beast reported on Friday.
Asia's Arms Race: Australia Voices Concerns as Nations Increase Investment in Weapons
Asia's emergent superpowers have been flexing their respective hardware and troop capabilities around the region – a cause for concern among those who come too close. Such as Australia. A report just released by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) said that China's emergence as a major economic power will pose great challenges for the global community. "The re-emergence of China as a great power will be Australia's greatest foreign policy challenge during the 21st century. Canberra will have to carefully balance Australia's growing economic relationship with China and its traditional alliance with the US," the report said.
IARPA: Data analysis allows researchers to predict disease outbreaks
Researchers tracking social media and Web searches have detected outbreaks of the flu and rare diseases in Latin America by up to two weeks before they were reported by local news media or government health agencies, a U.S. intelligence official told USA TODAY. Working at a series of universities and companies around the country, the researchers are part of a program led by the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Agency (IARPA) that is aimed at anticipating critical societal events, such as disease outbreaks, violent uprisings or economic crises before they appear in the news.

That's because in the end, this company, like Dell (DELL), is just an assembler of parts with very little added. You can assemble the parts, too. The services business, GME, bought by Mark Hurd to diversify away from hardware, is getting crushed by Accenture (ACN), IBM (IBM) and SAP (SAP). The phone business Palm, also bought to diversify, is stillborn. And finally, the networking business, which looked so promising as a competitor to Cisco (CSCO), has been crushed by that recharged colossus.It would be enough to stay away from HPQ just because of the crushing of all of those others businesses. But the simple fact is that there were accounting irregularities here that cost them $10 billion and even if everything were hunky dory away from that I would still tell you to sell. And sell. And sell.

LG clearly has a vision where home entertainment is going and it is pressing ahead into the connected TV world by making sure that even its affordable entry-level products are shipping with some very cool new features. We've just spent a week with the LG BD370 Blu-ray player, which features LAN and USB connectivity, YouTube video streaming, Netflix downloads and BD Live content downloads.

My high school history teacher opened our first discussion of politics by scrawling a continuum on the chalkboard. Revolutionaries at the far end of the liberal left, reactionaries at the far end of the conservative right. Adding a midpoint to the spectrum for moderates, he snorted, "Moderates are people who can't make up their minds."
He would be appalled to know that I grew up to be one of those "milquetoast moderates," an independent voter who tends to straddle center. My gray scale views run counter to the black and white, either-or nature of today's polarized political climate, where a willingness to see more than one side of an issue is viewed as a character flaw.
The failure of independent voters to subscribe to a single set of beliefs is greeted with jeers by those whose political precepts neatly align to a party platform. Our tilt to the right on some matters and teeter left on others stupefies the staunchly party-affiliated, who label us wishy-washy, undecided, uninformed.
I don't march lock-step with the recommendations of an employee union, nor do I pay much heed to the election edicts issued by my church. However, despite my inability to identify with one of the prevailing parties, I am not uneducated or indecisive in my vote.
I read magazines and newspapers with a skeptical eye, mindful of the probability and power of editorial slant, and recognize that any truth to be found in their articles is subjective, at best. I am not swayed by good looks, charisma or a talent for public speaking.
I wade through the muck of campaign promises and position statements, weigh the information on the scale of conscience, and cast my ballot for the candidate whose platform most closely matches my own tenets of personal belief. I play my vote close to the vest and refuse to divulge my record (even to my impressionable daughter, who's asked me point-blank who I voted for since she was old enough to understand the purpose of elections.)
I'm turned off by robocalls, the ever-growing deluge of mud-slinging ads and direct mail pieces, and the duels to electoral death that masquerade as debates. I find the bobbing and weaving of savvy campaign managers distasteful and abhor the vitriolic commentary spewed by the loquacious liberals and caustic conservatives on the outlying ends of the political spectrum.
However, compared to the outbreaks of fisticuffs (and occasional beating with a cane) that were once accepted behavior on the Senate floor, the political posturing of today's candidates seems almost tame. Placed in historical context, the nasty nature of today's campaigns is indicative of at least a modicum of restraint. Remembering that makes the bitter pill of politicking a little more palatable.
Discord has been a constant, driving force in the evolution of our nation. The processes of crafting ideals into workable terms, hammering out policies, and distributing resources were no less daunting and divisive in America's infancy than they are today. The United States was, and is, built on passion and divergent points of view.
Without dissatisfaction and disagreement, there would no impetus for change, no catalyst for growth. Political tug-of-war may leave us exhausted and bloodied, but in the end it leads us to a new patch of common ground, and the truth that lies somewhere in the middle.

Justin Bieber will lose his monkey at midnight
Mally the capuchin will be moved to a permanent zoo or animal shelter should the pop star fail to contact authorities before end-of-day Friday.
Fri, May 17, 2013 at 01:40 PM
Photo: @justinbieber
Justin Bieber is frantically making a last-ditch effort to get his beloved pet monkey back from German custom officials.
I'm just kidding. He's not doing anything. In fact, it's as good as a done deal that in only a few hours, Mally the baby capuchin will be living the sweet life at a zoo or animal shelter somewhere in Germany.
"If no further documents arrive, then the seizure order comes into effect and the animal becomes the property of the German state," customs spokesman Thomas Meister told The Associated Press.
A little over a month and a half ago, Mally was confiscated from the 19-year-old after he failed to produce the necessary documentation for her entry into Germany. Beyond some unconfirmed emails with what animal shelter officials believe was Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, little concern for the capuchin's well-being has been shown by the pop star and his entourage.
"Our team is looking into the idea of placing Mally at a zoo in Germany," wrote Braun. "Would you happen to have any recommendations for places that Mally would be safe and thrive? Again, we are very concerned that Mally is safe and placed in the best possible residence."
Uh huh. In addition to giving up Mally, Bieber is also going to have to open his wallet. German customs officials are demanding that the singer cough up thousands of dollars in food, housing and vet costs for the monkey.
"You can bet we are going to ask for that money back," Munich animal shelter manager Karl Heinz Joachim said.

David Broder, to torture Trent Duffy and Paul Begala (and, frankly, us) proposes that (and we aren't kidding) Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Sandy Weill, and Bob Rubin fund time for Warren Rudman and Leon Panetta to go on TV with Perot-like charts and explain and denounce the defict. LINK
ABC 2004: Bush-Cheney re-elect: It's hard to know if Ron Fournier is only quoting the pessimists he talked to, but he finds plenty of Republican leaders from around the nation "alarmed" about the president's poll numbers, the economy, the war, and the Bush honesty-and-trust gold standard. LINK
Speaking of alarmed, was that man outside Penn Station talking into his cell phone about the "collapse" of the president's "internals" and saying he had to get on the phone with "Rove" any former governor we know?
The Wall Street Journal 's sushi-loving John Harwood takes his turn at the "Can Bush transform America and the political balance of power?" story by saying the trouble in Iraq threatens both the president's national security bona fides and his reputation for candor, and that could tilt the answer towards "no":
"It challenges Mr. Bush's twin pillars of 'honesty and competence,' ex-Speaker Gingrich notes in an interview, and 'anytime either of those starts to get threatened they have real problems.' After Mr. Bush passed up the opportunity to accept personal responsibility for disputed words in his State of the Union address, one of his 2000 campaign strategists put it more bluntly: 'I'm toying with the idea that it's time to panic.'"
"Mr. Bush's poll standing hasn't receded to pre-Sept. 11 levels. But another month of bad news and 'his numbers are going to be … very ordinary,' says Democratic pollster Geoff Garin."
New York Post 's Orin writes up the Gillespie's memo we touted in this space yesterday, on the eve of his "Victory Starts Here" summer meeting. LINK
ABC 2004: Bush-Cheney re-elect, the money: Brody Mullins and Michael Grass write in Roll Call that "some of the nation's biggest industries were among the top supporters of President Bush, while trial lawyers gave generously to the leading Democratic presidential candidates."
"According to the Center for Responsive Politics, 12 of Bush's top 20 contributors are on Wall Street, such as Merrill Lynch, whose employees gave more money to the president's re-election efforts than anyone else."
ABC 2004: The Invisible Primary:
Harold Meyerson has a must-read op-ed in the Washington Post saying that Dick Gephardt's war support and failure to craft an economic agenda for 2002 basically created Howard Dean, but that John Kerry is best able to win wide support in the party. LINK
Meyerson has perfect pith on his last two sentences:
"In message and manner, Kerry often still fails to connect with his listeners. But if he can put his own house in order, he's the candidate best positioned to unite a party that's not been this angry at itself since 1968."
Tom Edsall jumps the gun by a day in curtain-raising the FEC decision on conventions and soft money. LINK
According to Alexander Bolton of the Hill, "The Federal Election Commission is poised to ban presidential candidates from using their leadership political action committees (PACs) to subsidize their campaigns." LINK
Dean: Governor Dean was followed through New Hampshire yesterday by a van full of press stragglers … and, per a campaign aide, managed to draw 500 people in Portsmouth and a big crowd in Manchester.

Bonspiels for curlers with Under 5 years experience!
Have less than 5 years curling experience? Here are a couple of bonspiels that are definitely worth trying! read more…
Jan 7 Highmark Curling Demo
Jan 7
Highmark Building, Downtown (details to follow)
Highmark is hosting Olympic Awareness events – and they've asked us to come and demo the Hottest Sport on Ice – CURLING!
This will be similar to Venture Outdoors using wheelie rocks on an indoor "sheet". (The big improvement over Venture Outdoors is it's guaranteed NOT to rain on us, and wind should be minimal – we'll be INDOORS!)
If you're able to work this into your schedule, we could really need your help. Highmark is an important member of the Pittsburgh Community – let's take advantage of this opportunity!
Contact Dan Bliss if you're interested in helping out: firstname.lastname@example.com
Curling Demo at Highmark – Jan 7
Help us demonstrate curling to Highmark employees downtown Tuesday Jan 7, 8:30A – 2P. This will be a lot of fun, demonstrating curling using wheelie rocks, explaining the sport and talking about our club and future plans.
If you're available to help – WE NEED YOU! Please contact Dan Bliss: firstname.lastname@example.com if you're interested.
Dec 28 Friends and Family
Saturday Dec 28
Friends and Family!!!
ALWAYS a popular event – This is curling ice for club members and their friends and families during the holidays!
Here's how it works – make a reservation through Scheduling and let us know how many will come, they'll sign waivers (of course) – then YOU'LL run the Learn to Curl.
It's a great way to work off some of those holiday cookies and get out of listening to Uncle Dudley recount the Christmas Disaster of 1947 for the bazillionth time.
We get the ice at 9:00P – so please be here to help set up.
This is a paid event – $10 for each curler (even members since this is outside of League).
HO HO Hurreeeeee!!!!
Dec 7 Toffee House orders due
If you're ordering Toffee House candies for Christmas, orders and payment are due to Amanda by Dec 7 for Dec 21 pickup.
It's delicious! More info here.

Sonic Youth
Sonic Youth are the new Led Zeppelin. No, really! If you don't believe me, peek past their bin card at the nearest record store and check out the sticker on the new double disc of their 1990 major-label debut, Goo: "Reissued. Remastered. Bonus Disc." Some might assume that Sonic Youth have simply adopted the music industry standard of milking an established audience by teasing out the (re)issuance of everything ever recorded in slow, perpetual, purchasable skeet, dropping fancy versions of your old favorites (warped vinyl copies of which are currently mildewing in your parents' basement in Anoka) just in time for the holidays. But as a band, Sonic Youth have always maintained a commitment to archiving, preserving, and making their work accessible to anyone who wants to have her life changed by their post-wave clangery.
Also, unlike most bands, their "alternate takes" are often radical reworkings, their bootlegs and B-sides as visceral and vital as official commercial releases. Still, they follow the reissue protocols to a T: A bonus disc of rare material and a booklet featuring a zillion pages of color photos are accompanied by hyperbolic, true-believer liner notes written by a compadre (Does Byron Coley even have another job?) about how this album changed the world! How it perfectly encapsulated a moment in time! Nostalgia can eat it, but Coley has a point. Goo is worth preserving under glass.
It was, by all accounts, the band's turning point, and the album that became the rationale for every punk/post-punk band that has signed to a major label since. Listening to it now, in the context of mainstream pop, even Goo's singles, "Dirty Boots" and "Kool Thing," seem outré. The blast 'n' scrape of "Scooter + Jinx" or Confusion Is Sex-era throwback "Mildred Pierce" are downright Promethean. Unlike almost every album of the era they helped usher in (see: "grunge"), Goo sounds undated. But it's also as dualistically sweet and violent as the SST albums that established Sonic Youth, despite its reputation as the group's most "straight" work. This reissue's second disc dishes some shizz that's been floating around for some time, like a collection of eight-track demos from back when the album was almost titled Blowjob (which collector scum know as a 1991 vinyl-only fan club release). Its curdled, messy smallness makes the rejiggered Goo seem that much more incandescent, but the bonus meed that makes disc two worth it is "Interview Soundsheet." Originally issued as a promo-only flexi disc, it features Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon explaining a few choice lyrical concepts. "Every song is a dirty boot, now wave suit, electric scoot. Yeah, it's...[sighs] proletariat laughter," Moore whispers in a post-coital husk, trailing off, then riffing about Avenue A and Patti Smith, and outro-ing by scatting "hey" a dozen times. Gordon's interview is rife with feminist pop culture riffing and bons mots like "What did Patti Hearst dream about in that closet?," "Aerobics could have saved Karen Carpenter's life," and the killer kiss-off, "Girls invented punk, not the English."
Word from on high is the band is compiling a Daydream Nation box set for a 2006 release. Live albums, outtakes, offish bootlegs, and now box sets will be ours. Prepare to be milked.
