What do empirics say? 3. What can we do? 2 Two Main Messages The good news: Migration can contribute to development and poverty reduction The (potentially) inconvenient news: Development and development aid will not stop migration flows. 3 What do we think we know? • International migration is exploding • Most migrants to OECD countries come from poor regions • The loss of human capital (brain drain) reduces countries' development prospects • Financial returns by migrants (remittances) replace development aid 4 What do empirics say? 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 World Less developed regions More developed regions Source: United Nations Population Division. 5 Effects on Sending Regions • Migration of low-skilled workers – Higher financial returns – Larger impact on poverty reduction – Potential improvements in low-wage sector – Increase of productivity • Migration of the highly skilled – Possible knowledge transfer – Incentive to invest in human capital – Potentially a win-win situation – However: particularly problematic in poor developing countries 6 Migration of University Graduates (in %) Source: OECD Database on Expatriates and Immigrants, 2004/2005; Cohen and Soto (2001) 7 Remittances are important… Annual transfer of a migrant, in USD (2000) 2686.5 926.4 766.5 649.4 431.5 160.4 Gulf EU-15 US Other OECD E Asia NICs Developing Countries Reg.

Cameron and Clegg confirm Welsh tax plans
Live updates
PM: The 'very best' of Wales will be displayed this year
In his St David's Day message, Prime Minister David Cameron says he is looking forward to the many opportunities Wales will have this year to present the 'very best' of the country to a global audience.
St David's Day is a time to celebrate Wales' rich and illustrious history, its beautiful language and its cultural heritage. Yet this year, we also look forward to a time where Wales will have the opportunity to showcase its credentials on a truly international stage.
In September, the NATO Summit will be hosted in south Wales, providing everyone - from business leaders to school children - with a unique opportunity to present the very best of Wales to a global audience.
I hope that everyone seizes this opportunity to show Wales as a great place to live, to visit and to do business in. I'm pleased to be flying the Welsh flag over Downing Street today and I wish everyone a very happy St David's Day - Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus i bawb.
The Welsh flag will be flown above 10 Downing Street in Westminster today to mark St David's Day.
Welsh flag flown at 10 Downing Street for St David's Day
The Welsh flag will be flown outside 10 Downing Street today to mark St David's Day. Prime Minister David Cameron says today should be a celebration of Wales' language and heritage and that there will be many opportunities this year to present the 'very best' of the country to a global audience.
Cameron sees flood damage in Newgale and St Davids
Our Political Editor Adrian Masters is in Pembrokeshire with the Prime Minister.
David Cameron has been seeing the damage done by flooding in Newgale, and visiting businesses in St Davids.
PM is in West Wales & South West England today visiting people affected by the recent flooding & local businesses
David Cameron has been visiting Pembrokeshire to see the damage done by flooding in Newgale and to meet businesses in St. David's.
He tweeted his support for councils giving council tax rebates to residents whose homes have been flooded.
I can confirm we will fund councils that give council tax rebates to people whose homes have been flooded.

Young boy writes to PM over unsuitable video games
A nine-year-old boy from Neath has written to Prime Minister about his concerns over video games for youngsters.
In his letter, Joseph Kempson tells David Cameron he doesn't think there are enough games on the market suitable for children his age.
It comes as a headteacher at primary school near Caerphilly is warning parents across Wales of the possible link between violent video games and aggressive behaviour.
- Adrian Masters
Prime Minister 'worried' about education in Wales
The Prime Minister has said he 'worries about some of the changes that have been made to education in Wales.' He made his comments in response to a question from the Monmouth MP David TC Davies.
Attacks on the Welsh Government's handling of health have become a regular feature of Prime Minister's Questions as a way of attacking Labour leader Ed Miliband. It seems David Cameron also now has education in his sights.
Criminals serving whole life sentences
There are currently 49 criminals serving whole life terms in English prisons, and David Cameron has vowed to ensure that "life means life" for the worst offences.
Those serving full life terms include Jamie Reynolds, who pleaded guilty to the murder of Shropshire teenager Georgia Williams last year.
Mark Bridger, who was jailed for killing five-year-old April Jones, is also serving a whole life sentence.
Cameron vows to retain life sentences for murderers
David Cameron has promised to ensure murderers can be kept in jail for life amid suggestions that the Government could introduce 100-year-sentences.
The Prime Minister's comments follow a long-running confrontation with the European Court of Human Rights, which has declared life sentences in England illegal because they offer no "right to review".
Ministers believe they can sidestep the ruling by letting judges sentence for hundreds of years, the Telegraph has reported.

Cameron's 'Double Yes' for Welsh income tax
At a reception for lobby journalists last night, the Prime Minister used a phrase I think you'll hear from Conservative politicians a lot more in 2014. The phrase was 'double yes' and is David Cameron's shorthand for his approach to what should happen next with income tax powers for Wales.
A Wales bill is expected to be published before the end of the year (which only leaves next week) paving the way for a referendum to be held. If there were a Yes vote in that referendum, it would give the Welsh Government partial control over income tax raised in Wales.
When I asked David Cameron about the prospects of a referendum he said he'd be pushing for a 'double yes' and added that meant 'yes' to holding a referendum in the first place and then campaigning for a Yes vote in that referendum. And he's urged Welsh Tories to do the same.
Labour is against getting that power without reform of the way the Welsh Government is funded. Only this week, the First Minister said it would be a Tory 'trap' to transfer income tax control with unfair funding. You can see his comments by clicking here.
Welsh Conservatives in the Assembly are in an awkward position. They back the transfer of income tax powers but remain disappointed by the type of transfer on offer. They want the power, as recommended in the Silk Commission, to alter separate tax bands so that they can cut the middle rate.
But the power that will be set out in the Wales Bill next week is what's known in the jargon as 'lockstep' which means that a future Welsh Government would only be able to vary each of the three income tax bands at the same rate.
Sources close to Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies says he and Tory AMs will continue to campaign to be able to lower the 40% band 'because it's the only realistic band to reduce.'
They're clinging onto that in the face of the difference of opinion with the London end of the party because there have been some hints that the Treasury might leave open the prospect of future change to the form of income tax power.
Certainly the Welsh Liberal Democrats would want that to be the case because they want to cut the basic rate by 2p. And they, don't forget, boast of a direct line to the Lib Dem Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Danny Alexander.
That's for the longer-term. In the near future, 2014 looks set to be a struggle between Labour's resolute no and David Cameron's 'Double Yes.'

'Two toothless men fighting over a toothbrush' says Plaid about Labour-Tory spat
Plaid Cymru has weighed into a row between Welsh Labour and the Welsh Conservatives over a delayed decision on tax and borrowing powers. Plaid AM Simon Thomas called the argument between Tory leader Andrew RT Davies and Labour AM Mike Hedges 'a unionist spat' and added:
This is a case of two toothless men fighting over who lost the toothbrush.
Plaid Cymru is the only party that can deliver for Wales. Unionist parties are ignoring the evidence and letting us down.
Only by putting Wales First will a Welsh Government enable our nation to reach its full potential in the community of nations.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

As the van drifted deeper in the water, the wheels started bobbing along the road. Only one flight was leaving Xi'an and I was sure we wouldn't be on it.
The fetid liquid oozed through the van door, carrying the odor of human waste, produce and motor oil. A muddy layer of loess, the light wind-blown dirt that covers much of western China, topped everything. The mud-thickened mixture choked the smaller Hondas around us until we were alone on a Xi'an road in two-and-a-half feet of water.
It didn't seem fair. Dad had been on business in China for six months. To make sure he stayed put, the company decided to send the family to visit him for six weeks and foot the bill. My high school teacher, Ingrid Gray, told me it was the opportunity of a lifetime and euphorically recited Robert Frost's poem about the two paths that diverged in the wilderness.
Some paths diverge; some are lightly trodden; and some lead to enlightenment, but this one was just wet. My buddies back home were on a road trip to a Dave Mathews concert, but I was preparing to walk through ox dung on the edge of civilization. I was stuck in a flood because my parents wouldn't let me stay home and enjoy my high school graduation.
The flood less perturbed the other Chinese drivers. Washed out roads, police check points and frequent engine failures are common in a place where the last dynasty built the highways in 1909. However, our driver grew antsy as he surveyed the situation. Water was already inside the car and inched toward the air intake on the exterior. One more foot and the van would be useless.
Of course, we weren't the first travelers to experience hardship in Xi'an. The city had been the starting point of the Silk Road. For thousands of years, wayfarers had their luck — even lives -- changed while tackling that hard-worn path. My family's immediate problem began the previous night.
The summer had been especially hot in Xi'an, which borders the great, dusty Mongol plains. The heat seared the topsoil, making it impervious to water. When the delayed downpour came that night, the water flowed into the city's low-dug, sewer-less streets instead of penetrating the ground.
The morning after the deluge, Dad asked the concierge for a car and driver to take the family to the airport. The concierge didn't speak English and though Mom suggested we find someone who did, Dad persisted. Using a combination of sketches and hand gestures, he managed to get a vehicle — a rather large vehicle.
I reverted to my old New Jersey skepticism upon glancing at the massive 12-person diesel van and suspected the hotel of attempting to run up the bill. As it turned out, the concierge did us a favor.
The driver, who didn't speak English, hopped behind the wheel and expertly steered the van between columns of bicycles, oxen, motorcycles and the occasional rickshaw. The streets, mostly wide avenues lacking any road markings, teemed with life, color, sound and the smell of cooking. Without warning, I was propelled against my seatbelt.
"Fènbiàn, hóngshui!" the driver swore, before plunging the van into a foot of water.
The rickshaw drivers and motorcyclists slowed and looked hesitantly at our aggressive driver. Up ahead, people waded out of the street and climbed to the rooftops of the one-story residences lining the avenue.
"Bob, are you sure this is a good idea?" Mom asked.
My mother Roberta is a teacher: professional, reliable, aggressive — but not in China. She relished the chance to have the family together but traveling in a strange land dependent on others made her nervous. Her delicate fingers anxiously rubbed the fabric of her blue shirt.
"Don't worry — it's fine. No problem. Everyone else seems to be driving through. We will too," Dad said.
Unlike Mom, Dad's fingers weren't so shapely. He had stuck one in a bike spoke at age seven to see what a bone looked like. He earned his college tuition ten years later by convincing a coach in a sandwich shop that he could play football. He once turned down a job offer because it was only nine-to-five.
After watching occasional gunplay on the streets of Bogotá, Colombia, and getting stuck on trains in India, his idea of a bad trip was different from the rest of the family's.
No sooner had he finished his reassurance than a lone motorcyclist loaded with a four-foot tall sack of watermelons tried to pass us in the flooded street. As his tiny Honda scooter strained ahead, it started skipping on the surface of the road. When the water became too deep, the watermelons became ballast buoying the rest of the cycle from behind. The man decided to abandon ship and swam off.
Chickens were stacked in a series of wood and wire mesh cages on the side of the road. As the water rose, it drowned one bird at a time, reducing the flock to a frenzied state of squawking, mirroring the general chaos outside the van window.
The driver managed to slosh through the next corner, almost fishtailing in the flowing rainwater. Old Chinese streets often suddenly narrow and up ahead was an obstacle I figured was the final challenge.
A flatbed Russian truck and a small Volkswagon had stalled in the water adjacent to each other, but in opposite lanes bordered by street-front shops. Water gushed through the narrow opening between the two vehicles. Most of the pedestrians had chosen to circumnavigate the juggernaut, but it was too late for the van. We were moving forward too fast to turn around and the brakes were hopelessly wet. My mother and sisters had definitely clued in on the situation.
"Ray, tell the driver to slow down," said my sister, Janet, temporarily forgetting that I don't speak Chinese.
The driver sensed the concern in her voice and tried to wave off the worry, but as soon as his hands left the wheel, the tires left the ground. The water had finally risen too high, making traction near impossible and choking the engine.
The van drifted forward like the rest of the road debris. We were approaching fast with less than an inch of clearance on either side. The collision would not have been at more than 15 miles per hour, but it would have been wet. If the van log jammed, we would definitely have to wade out or climb onto the roof.
"This isn't going to work," Dad said. "Bert, make sure that door is fully closed and get your hands away from the window. We could broadside."
Maggie, my youngest sibling, piped up, "What does broadsi-"
"Quiet. What will we do about the plane? We'll never make it on time and there's only one flight out a week," Mom demanded.
"It'll work out," Dad replied.
Sure, Dad, I thought. Combustion engines always work well when submerged. How would we handle a Chinese traffic accident? Who's responsible? For how much damage? Is there even car insurance out here?
The van suddenly jolted to the left after colliding with something underwater and surged forward as the tires unexpectedly made contact with the road. The acceleration was enough to put us through the obstacle and, amazingly, to clear the sides. Oddly, I felt cheated.
"Hen hao!" exclaimed the driver with a smile, as if he had planned the entire situation.
We emerged from the water half a mile later and found a dry road to the airport, a jet runway in the middle of a cornfield. The flight would ultimately take me home. We all eased back into the van seats.
"Excited to see Ellie and your friends again?" Mom asked.
I almost answered with the expected "yes," but hesitated mid-sentence. Was I really? What was back in Hillsborough? Corn? Cows? A few nights with friends, at most. Dad glanced over the top of his newspaper.
"Not yet," I said.
Mom shrugged her shoulders and went back to her reading. Dad went back to the business page, but with a slight smile.

EL-ARISH, Egypt (AP) — An Egyptian militant group claimed responsibility Sunday for twin suicide bombings that targeted a military checkpoint and a tourist bus, killing at least one soldier and wounding nine in southern Sinai.
Egypt militants claim responsibility for 2 attacks
In a statement posted on militant websites, the al-Qaida-inspired group Champions of Jerusalem told the Egyptian army: "We will not rest until we achieve retribution for the blood and honor of the Muslims."
The group has been behind the deadliest attacks against military and police installations in Egypt following the military overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi last year. Another new group, known as Egypt's Soldiers has claimed responsibility for several smaller bombings targeting individual officers.
Security officials fear the attacks on troops will intensify ahead of presidential elections scheduled for later this month. Retired Field Marshal Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, the former military chief who oversaw Morsi's ouster, is the front-runner.
In a boost to el-Sissi, the ultraconservative Islamist Al-Nour party publicly endorsed him for presidency. In a statement published Sunday, the Salafi party said after meeting with el-Sissi and his opponent, leftist Hamdeen Sabahi, it decided to support the former military chief.
"He has a strategic vision that qualifies him to run the country. Things will work under him," Younis Makhyoun, the party leader, told private television station CBC. "He has no intention to exclude anybody."
Al-Nour party, formerly allied with Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, came in second with nearly a quarter of the parliament seats in the 2011-2012 parliamentary elections. It later fell out with the Brotherhood, complaining that it was monopolizing power.
It was not clear if al-Nour can galvanize Islamists to support the former army chief. The party supported the military overthrow of Morsi, a move that has cost it support.

Hey guys,
I cannot get admin emails for comments, and I don't know why.
This is the site.
Under Settings > General > Email Address I have my email address entered in. Is there anything I need to do?
By the way, the plugins I'm running are:
Brian's Threaded Comments 1.5.20
flickrRSS 4.0
SEO Title Tag 2.3.3
Subscribe2 Counter Widget 4.12
Subscribe2 4.12
Subscribe To Comments 2.1.2
Twitter for WordPress 1.9.2
I tried deactivating all of them, though, and I still didn't get any emails.
Any ideas?
anyone? I really need help with this...
Do you have the appropriate boxes ticked to send you an email under settings/discussion?
"E-mail me whenever Anyone posts a comment"
"E-mail me whenever A comment is held for moderation"
are both checked.
Anything else I could check? Something in the code, perhaps?
Can someone please help me?
This has now been extended onto my own website: http://www.zerflin.com/Benjamin/YoungSavage/
Subscribers are no longer getting emails when I post.
Both sites have hosting with GoDaddy. Could this be a problem?
I called GoDaddy, and they were unwilling to help "because we offer an WordPress install of our own now".
The only information they told me was that the "relay server setting" should be "relay-hosting.secureserver.net"
Any idea where this goes??
I have a similar problem. Since upgrading to 2.7.1 from 2.7, all comment notifications are now sent to the email address of my usual login, not the admin login. Why? Everything seems to be set up correctly, and I didn't change any settings - just upgraded.
Who is your hosting with?
1&1. Bizarrely, everything is working again today, and I didn't change anything.
Lucky. I've been out for a month, and as you can see, no one wants to help me...
If GoDaddy refruses to help because they offer their own install package - I would advise you to take your business elsewhere - and tell them why. It is not up to a host to refuse help to customers because they want you to use THEIR installer. This is a problem at GoDaddy - not WP. Check your cpanel and see if there is a setting anywhere for email.
GoDaddy doesn't have cpanel, they use their own system.
I don't have any email addresses setup through them, I have Google Apps installed using the CNAME & MX settings.
Here's what my MX settings are.
10 @ aspmx.l.google.com. 1 Week
20 @ alt1.aspmx.l.google.com. 1 Week
30 @ alt2.aspmx.l.google.com. 1 Week
40 @ aspmx2.googlemail.com. 1 Week
50 @ aspmx3.googlemail.com. 1 Week
My CNAME settings look like this:
mobilemail mobilemail-v01.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net 1 Hour
pda mobilemail-v01.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net 1 Hour
email email.secureserver.net 1 Hour
imap imap.secureserver.net 1 Hour
pop pop.secureserver.net 1 Hour
smtp smtp.secureserver.net 1 Hour
ftp @ 1 Hour
webmail webmail.secureserver.net 1 Hour
e email.secureserver.net 1 Hour
Is there something I need to change, either on GoDaddy or my WordPress settings?
The more research I do, the more this seems linked to the 2.7 upgrade. anyone else find that?
Did you eventually find a solution to this problem? I'm having the same issue on a blog I upgraded to 2.7.1 and have been unable to find an answer.
Ben- Any luck with this? I'm having the same issue with Go Daddy... The say, the mail logs show the email leaving our server. So its not a problem with us... and we don't support WordPress or plugins for it. I can't receive any email notifications or forms from my site to Google Apps. Apparently Google has been blocking these types of emails for years, but I'd been getting them for a year or more until recently. As Go Daddy told me, that was a fluke and shouldn't have been getting the emails to begin with.
I'm trying different SMTP options, but so far nothing is allowing me to connect.

For marine or saltwater aquarium tanks, protein skimmers (also known as foam fractionating) is important to your marine or saltwater aquarium health. A protein skimmer will remove organic material (like excess food particles or feces) before it breaks down into ammonia and interrupt the nitrogen cycle. It also can remove trace minerals like copper, which is lethal to most invertebrates.
All protein skimmers work on the same principle but the designs vary widely (and the cost as well). Bubbles are blown through the water and organic material attaches itself to the surface through surface tension. At the surface, the organic material is collected or "skimmed" into a cup and you dispose of the contents.
One factor in protein skimmer effectiveness is the 'dwell time'. It basically measures how long a bubble is in contact with the water. The longer the dwell time, the more chance organic particles have to attach to the bubble.
Another way is to decrease the size of the bubbles. This produces more bubbles per cubic inch and produces more surface area.
Because of the size requirements, a lot of protein skimmers are kept in the aquarium stand but some of the smaller units are hung in the back.
Protein skimmers are more important for fish-only tanks than reef aquariums. A reef aquarium has coral, live plants, and invertebrates that process nitrates whereas a fish-only tank does not.
Co-Current Protein Skimmer
Water is pumped through a plastic column. Air is pumped to the bottom of the column and is commonly expelled through an air stone (a piece of limestone or wood that produces tiny bubbles).
As the bubble reaches the surface, it bursts and releases the organics. As the organics collect, it foams and the foam is skimmed into a collection cup for disposal.
The water enters the column from the bottom, runs parallel to the bubbles, and exits at the top either back into the aquarium or to another filtration system.
Ideally, the column should be milky white with bubbles but as the salts and other minerals clog the air stone, they need to be replaced periodically.
This is the simplest and earliest design (and the least expensive). It's usually anywhere from 6′ to 18′ and can be mounted behind the aquarium. It's also great for tanks 30 gallons and below.
Counter-Current Protein Skimmer
This design is exactly the same as the co-current protein skimmer except the water enters at the top of the column, runs against the path of the bubbles, and exits at the bottom of the column.
By running against the direction of bubbles, it increases the dwell time and increases effectiveness, without increasing the size of the unit.
This desing probably has the greatest variance in design. It can be small enough to hang at the back of the aquarium tank or large enough that it needs to be kept below in the aquarium stand. It's appropriate for tanks from 30-75 gallons.
This is the hobbyist-grade protein skimmer and will meet the needs of most people.
Venturi Protein Skimmer
The venturi protein skimmer depends on high water flow to create vortexes and eddies in the column of bubbles. This increases the dwell time and the effectiveness of the protein skimmer dramatically.
However, because this type of protein skimmer depends on high water flow, you will need a stronger pump than the other types to produce this flow.
Some design rely on an air stone to produce tiny bubbles. Others run the water horizontally through a nozzle and across an intake valve exposed to air. The high speed of the water naturally draws air in and produces bubbles.
This will be your most expensive option but also your most effective mechanical option.
Final Thoughts
Now not all protein skimmer will fall neatly into these categories. There's going to be some crossover and improvements but this should give you a broad overview of what to expect.
Before getting a protein skimmer, decide if you need one. If your nitrate readings are consistenly low (under 10 ppm), you don't need one. If you see high nitrate readings, take several over a few days to make sure it's not a temporary spike.
If you decide to purchase a protein skimmer, get the best or biggest you can afford. Like picking a good saltwater aquarium tank, making several upgrades can be expensive.
Also, there are other options to control nitrates like other live rocks or live plants. Keeping mangroves, for example, not only filter unwanted nitrates but phosphates as well. And they due to their root system, they can survive in saltwater.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
The human cost of the Greek financial crisis
11 Nov 2011 05:14 GMT | Politics, Europe, Greece
Greek party leaders have agreed to name Lucas Papademos, a former European Central Bank vice-president, as prime minister of a new interim government until early elections, according to the president's office.
Papademos, 64, was seen by many, both inside Greece and internationally, as the best choice to steer Greece through its worst post-war economic crisis due to his technocratic credentials and perceived financial expertise.
"The president, after recommendations by political leaders who attended the meeting, has instructed Lucas Papademos to form a new government," Greek President Karolos Papoulias' office said in a statement after talks between political leaders and Papademos on Thursday.
George Papandreou, the outgoing prime minister, earlier met key political leaders for negotiations at the presidential mansion in Athens, after which the group announced that the new government would be sworn in on Friday.
In his first comments as prime minister, Papademos, a former head of the Greek central bank, said the country was at a crucial crossroads and pledged to keep it within the euro single currency bloc.
"The Greek economy is facing huge problems despite the enormous efforts made ... The course will not be easy," he said.
"I am convinced that the country's participation in the eurozone is a guarantee for monetary stability. We must all be optimistic about the final result, as long as we are united."
'Collective sigh of relief'
Papademos will lead a coalition until elections which are expected to be held in February, and his mission for the three-month term is no less than saving Greece from bankruptcy.
At best, the hope is that Papademos' experience of global financial circles and his non-involvement in the partisan politics of Greece will lend themselves to calm jittery markets and steer Greece towards stability.
Tony Saunois of the Socialist Party in Britain speaks about his impressions of Papademos
Papademos was the governor of the Bank of Greece from 1994 to 2002 and vice-president of the European Central Bank from 2002 to 2010.
Al Jazeera's Andrew Simmons, reporting from Athens, said that the announcement caused "a collective sigh of relief across Europe", and Greece's stock market had jumped sharply when Papademos arrived at the presidential palace to begin talks with the head of state and political leaders.
His appointment was held up for four days amid political squabbling and over demands he reportedly made about holding elections later than the February date pencilled in.
The interim government will be entrusted with securing continued bailout funding and a new $177bn rescue package for Greece from eurozone partners and the International Monetary Fund.
Greece will run out of money next month unless the new government reaches an agreement on emergency funding. Other eurozone nations have refused to give Greece its latest installment of bailout cash, $11bn, until the country approves a second bailout deal, which took European leaders months to hash out.
But Papademos' government faces the challenge of balancing the need for international rescue funds with the grievances of a Greek population already feeling the pain of several rounds of austerity cuts demanded by creditors as the price for bailout loans.

Papademos has been a leading figure in European banking, but he now faces major challenges as Greece's new leader.

[6] March 16, 2015 at 1:38pm
First of all, the more than $350K that has been funneled thru Jeremy Bird, Mr. Obama/Soetoro's campaign strategist to the V15 opposition party from donations raised within and without the US, comes perilously close to violating the Logan Act, and everyone knows it. Next, God gave the land of Israel to the Jews, through Isaac, the promised seed of Abraham, not through Ishmael, the child of/from bondage. The width and breadth of that land bestowal was far greater than the tiny sliver of land the Jews call their homeland, today.
I find it unconscionable for a "leader" of our government to be so openly biased AGAINST an ally such as Israel. It truly boggles my mind…but this is nothing new.
There are certainly problems on both sides…but what escapes most people is that GOD's people, Israel, should never be tampered with, or they tamper with the apple of God's eye…all who go against Israel are going against God's People and the forefathers of our Christian faith, by Christ Jesus, the Living Word of God, His son.
Woe to those in that day of great sorrow.

…and just what foundation does anyone think will support her pathetic campaign? I think reprobate is too kind a moniker for this 'woman' who lost her shame meter when she was 18.
On the other hand, it doesn't necessarily take 'money' to win a campaign…it takes friends in high places who will assist in defrauding the public out of their voting franchise rights by purchasing the progressives in both parties to do their bidding, by stuffing ballot boxes with illegal votes and electronic voting machine flips.

Vietor has no shame whatsoever. He presented himself as a dismissive, condescending little neophyte. THAT is what happens when people believe they are a member of the Untouchables. Baier was professional and Vietor was a punk.

Watched For the Record, Benghazi at 7CT…explosive. EXPLOSIVE. Specific gov't agencies were supplied with the episode prior to broadcast for comment. NO COMMENT. The issue in Benghazi actually began with Qadaffi and US/EU becoming friendly at arms length. Qadaffi decided to unify most of Africa (upper lands) and introduce a common currency, army, etc. Currency: he wanted all purchases of their oil done in gold. This would have upset fiat currency markets in EU and US. It went downhill from there. It got really ugly. Watch it on demand, but WATCH IT! Proof of some pretty high level involvement in everything our law forbids.
AND I can't open my email….it just cycles and cycles.

I AGREE with Glenn, because I believe that "Obama" has actually cleared the way for just exactly what is happening. In Mar 2012, BHO told Medvedev (on that hot mike in Seoul S. Korea meeting) to tell Putin that "after the election" he would have more flexibility on the "missile issue". BHO also said "this is my last election" and that Putin had to give him some "space" til' after the sham "election" Then in Mar 2013 he took missiles out of Poland and Romania. Ukraine just came to us last week and asked for help, in the form of weapons and other types of defense accoutrements…"Obama" gave them MRE's. Pathetic !!! BHO is HANDING Ukraine to Putin with a big red bow !!!!!!
Our "allies" are all getting very, VERY nervous and Israel has gone on high alert! Where's that damn Malaysian 777 ??? (Personally, I don't think it's in the ocean.)
He has intentionally weakened our military by demanding cuts to the budget! Putin has been whipping BHO's effeminate backside around the school yard for months! Didn't BHO make alot of "tough noise" by drawing those imaginary red lines in the sands of Syria? Didn't Putin come along with his big eraser and take them out?
BHO is less than incompetent…he's practicing treason and sedition. And he has left the American People and their Nation absolutely defenseless…by design.

Very interesting, but not for Israel alone. Remember the church Jesus established (true Christianity) is grafted into the Tree…and the floor blood moons will fall on the Feasts of Tabernacles and Passover as well. The next Sh'metah will fall on Sept 13, 2015 (the 29th of Elul) which is also the Feast of Trumpets next year, bringing with it a solar eclipse. We will have a solar eclipse on March 15, 2015…4 blood moons and 2 solar eclipses'…
Very interesting indeed!

Well, almost. While the unlimited preponderance of disinformation is swirling around ALL the propagandist media outlets, there was a small tidbit of information leaked…and then quickly hushed up. I have not seen any more reports or musings by ANY of the so-called experts and talking heads…Gen Tom McInerney (ret) has been rather stubborn about his insistence that there is far more to the story than is being reported. Namely, that the US knows far more than they are telling, citing sources he diligently refuses to ID for security and protection of his source info (rightly so).
For instance…where is further examination of the 20 high level employees of Freescale Semiconductor who were on the plane? Seems there are interesting connections there. Freescale makes POWERFUL electronic warfare products (chips) for industries that include defense. It released several of it's most powerful products on March 3rd. Freescale's shareholders include the Carlyle Group, which numbers several extremely powerful people as investors…people like past Presidents, British Prime Ministers not to mention other equally powerful private citizens who like to dabble in international politics.
One of the Carlyle's more interesting clients was the BinLaden Group…Freescale has been developing cloaking technology for military radar.
Does that change your perspective a bit???

I certainly hope Michelle and mother are out looking for their new residence after we boot them out of office. And, excuse me for being unsympathetic, but WHY IS THE MOTHER IN LAW LIVING IN THE WHITE HOUSE ??? DID WE ELECT HER AT SOME POINT ?????????
This "family" that isn't a real family, is an outrageous example of "Jefferson's Movin' on Up" mentality! They have desecrated our national honor and scandalized the entire world.

March 5, 2014 at 4:49pm
What I found most interesting is that just "after" the SCOTUS declined to hear the case, DHS contacted the attorneys for this family and indicated they were issuing an 'indefinite deferred status' for the family (the term causes me some heartburn, but more on that in a moment). Why the abrupt 'about face' for the DHS, which has heretofore been nothing but a pain in the neck for our country!?
Some options come to mind…1) The Justices confer en camera, find that the withdrawal of the grant of asylum was poisonous and decide to make a phone call to DHS and tell them to come off the denial of asylum. 2), The DHS is playing to the public sentiment and will reserve future movement as it prepares to give amnesty to all "immigrants" who plead 'fear of reprisal from their home governments' ( flimsy tactic espoused by bleeding heart liberals). 3) The public has already become very vocal over the Justina Pelletier case, and they fear exposure of more turpitude by government bureaucrat offices (wasn't the issue with the IRS, NSA enough?)
I think this administration and congress is as dirty as they come. I think they are getting ready to either lower the hammer on everybody, or they are having flashes of fear of the public. They haven't gotten us as far down the rabbit hole as they thought. There are still THINKING Americans out here, and we are WIDE AWAKE!

Issa is in the pocket of the admin. Never expected anything else from him except a blustery monologue and then a big fold. Gowdy should find a way to file charges against her, if indeed he is incensed, as he expressed on Fox News the other night. Lehner has received death threats (according to Beck's morning's radio program). It has been reported that she has been in "hiding", but we can guess that it is because she knows how much trouble she and her precious Controllers are in.
Judicial Watch has been successful in their FOIA requests to get information on certain documents that will take this corruption right to the foyer of the White House. The IRS was sharing information on donor lists of the Tea Party and other conservative org's, with opposition candidates.
Quite frankly, there is no true foundational reason the IRS should even be in business, other than the fact they are the Bulldog Collection Agency for the Private;y owned federal Reserve. It's an agency where "governmental" intimidation is unleashed with the fury of a Soviet Style Insurgency…can anyone say the Putin School of Tactical and Psychological Warfare? Is this the flexibility Mr. Soetoro spoke of with Medvedev to relay to Vlad?????

Just like Mr. "Obama"'s shovel ready jobs??
Bravo to Pat and the Blaze for this hard info piece. One little point here to make: In Plato's "Republic", Moore's, "Utopia" and Hobbes' "Leviathan", you will find the outline of the Collectivist TOTALITARIAN system that the Progressive's (spelled Socialists) desire to put into place for the exact reason's Pat and so many others have already articulated.
This is behavioral scientist psycho-babble designed to wean our children and grandchildren away from the Family unit and indoctrinate them into seeing Mother GOVERNMENT as the provider of all things, including life.
It is a Godless, spiritually bankrupt system of humanism straight out of the pit of hades. Make no mistake, they are much, MUCH further ahead of us than most people realize and still fewer people will confess…except for our brave warriors at The Blaze!!

The Presidential oath of office is thus: " I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. "
The Usurper recited these words, but had absolutely no investment in them whatsoever…TWICE. Since he is less an American than a shill for the Cartel of Controllers who not only give him his assignments, but also prepare his telepromted remarks, Mr. Soetoro has no regard for the Constitution and the Nation/People it portends to protect.
By circumventing the Constitution on hundreds and hundreds of occasions, behaving like a monarchial dictator, he has earned the right to be removed from office and arrested for various criminal acts against our Nation. Since we now have government spies/infiltrators within our ranks, I will not expound upon the multitude of offenses he has committed against our country, but we all know the list is long and formidable. He is not the only one who has disregarded the Constitution and the People's protections within it. The vast majority of the corrupt members of the CONgress and the SCOTUS should be in line with him, up the ramp for air departure out of our country. AND STAY OUT!

The exposure of this heinous, unmitigated horror against the Pelletier family is thanks to the boundless courage of The Blaze, Glenn Beck, Megyn Kelly and the producers willing to jeopardize sanctions from the court.I applaud these brave people!!
But mostly, I applaud the absolute devotion this father and mother have for their child and the inspiration of their faith to finally say the HeII with the Gatekeepers of MA, Boston Children's Hosp (a decrepit misnomer) and the darkness of the MA courts, who would keep their insidious evil in the shadows at the expense of a young girls life, without the parent's decision to contact the right people to get this cowardly behavior of the aforementioned dastardly people (authorities) out into the open.
Only through acts of courage like this father has exhibited, can we hope to expose the malignancy of the destructive federal government currently clutching the reins of strangulation around this nation's throat, can we hope to be free of the psychopathic nature of progressive insanity and return to a nation protected by the rule of LAW not the whimsy of corrupt men….

Why is this a surprise to ANYONE?

Is that racist? Does it denote race at all?
No, it does not.
Mr. Soetoro is a wretched tyrant who cares nothing for the nation that elevated him to the highest office on the planet and all he does is defecate upon our Constitutional Rights and our precious Soldiers in uniform. He has deceived our nation into abject servitude to his and those of his ideology (Marxist Socialism) hedonistic pursuits or pleasure and luxury. Oh, and BTW, Karl Marx never held a job in his entire life. Benefactors supported him. Parallels???
