China guns for 'absolute obedience'
Publication Date : 19-07-2012
Chairman Mao Zedong's dictum that "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun" and that "the party commands the gun" ranked among the Great Helmsman's most cited quotes both in China and abroad.
But in recent months, as China gears up for a major leadership handover this autumn, there seems to be fears that the gun itself has forgotten about it.
The organs of the Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army (PLA) have been relentlessly reminding soldiers that they have to remain loyal to their civilian leaders, on a scale which experts say has not been seen since the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown.
The latest came this week. China's second-highest ranking military officer, General Guo Boxiong, urged troops in restive Tibet to "stay absolutely loyal and reliable" to the central leadership.
"In the run-up to the party's 18th National Congress, more efforts should be made to ensure the army's absolute obedience, loyalty and reliability to the party, aside from high solidarity, security and stability among the troops," he told officers there, according to state Xinhua agency.
The propaganda exercise started in January, but intensified in the spring after Chongqing chief Bo Xilai was purged amid murder and abuse of power claims.
On March 23, for instance, just days after Bo was sacked, a commentary in the PLA Daily, the official newspaper of the military, urged soldiers to "oppose and eliminate" indiscipline.
Besides stressing loyalty, the campaign has also asked soldiers to reject the "erroneous views" of nationalising the PLA.
Unlike most major countries, China's military pledges loyalty to the ruling Communist Party and not the nation.
The intensity of the exhortations revives memories of the 1989 Tiananmen incident, where some in the military defied orders to shoot the protesters.
This led to a campaign that saw "loyalty oaths, several high-ranking officers removed, military salons that discussed controversial topics closed", recalled military expert June Teufel Dreyer from the University of Miami.
But the reason for the current campaign is more prosaic. It is largely related to the leadership transition this autumn and to rein in any dissenting voices within the military, say observers.
There are three main factors at play. First, it is to tame any attempts by the PLA for a larger voice in the new leadership, almost certainly to be led by current heir apparent Xi Jinping.
"There are elements in the armed forces who are determined to be central political players, not just contributors to national security and foreign policy," said Beijing-based analyst Russell Leigh Moses.
Second, it is related to President Hu Jintao summoning support for his continued role in the military. As Dr Moses observed: "While the leadership transition is well spelled out in the civilian sector of the political system, there is no clear indication as yet on when Hu will step down as head of the Central Military Commission."
It is believed that Hu is seeking to remain as chief of the commission, which in effect controls the military, for two more years after the congress.
It would follow the path of his predecessor Jiang Zemin, who also hung on to the all-important position after relinquishing his party and state roles.
Third, it is the Bo Xilai scandal. The former Chongqing leader was openly courting the PLA before his purge, even staging a military exercise in the mega south-western city.
It is critical for the party leadership to remind Bo's sympathisers in the military to fall in line.
But such a prolonged campaign can have its downside, said Hong Kong-based political analyst Willy Lam.
"It will give the outside world the impression that stability is wanting; that nobody has enough authority to keep the generals under control," he said.

The stereotype of the troubled artist is not new, but few epitomize it so perfectly as Caravaggio.

Dream of Italy Episode #2: Rome
One could argue Rome was well on its way to earning the nickname of The Eternal City at least 2,000 years ago.

In the second episode of the PBS series, "Dream of Italy," we get to see both time-honored traditions and departures from them.

It was alright. I was there with my class since it was part of our study trip to London. I would definitely not come here by myself. It's only because we had to.

We'd not been here before so didn't know what to expect but there's plenty to see and take in if you spend the time reading the exhibit captions etc.

Please give us detailed information on getting there from a hotel at LHR. Which train should we take into London? Which train from London? How to get from where the first train into London lets us off and the next train to Bletchley. Thank-you. We are taking a cruise and spending 2 nights prior at the Hilton next to LHR.

Poverty tourism development evolution and development of poverty reduction strategies tourism development in poverty reduction strategies Abstract: PPT (ProPoorTourism) is the first linked to poverty, and tourism concept. However, because of its meaning with the non-discrimination and fair, has been ST-EP (SustainableTourism-EliminatingPoverty) replaced usage. To travel as a means of poverty eradication can lead to economic prosperity of third world countries, and even help countries out of poverty. At present, many international development agencies are paying close attention to this area and began to help backward countries to implement ST-EP strategy. Correctly grasp and understanding of this concept will also help our government and relevant departments to better attract and use of relevant international organizations or donor funds and promote the tourism help the poor. Keywords: PPTST-EP PPT the world's poorest countries, more than 50 tourism industry output value of the national economy in the country among the top ranking 3. Tourism is all developed and developing countries in trade flows, the only indication of a service industry surplus. According to the World Tourism Organization statistics in 2000, the year of the favorable balance of Third World tourism industry reached 66 million U.S. dollars. However, not until the early 21st century, some aid organizations and international funding agencies realized that tourism could be a weapon to eradicate poverty. PPT strategy and its connotation PPT (ProPoorTourismStrategy) that is "pro-poor tourism development" strategy, which was first proposed by the UK Department for International Development-funded poverty Tourism Development Cooperation (Pro-PoorTourismPartnership) proposed, meaning "to guide the growth of net benefits poor tourism." Over the past five years, the concept of poverty reduction in the use of tourism plays an important role. PPT There are three main types of strategies: to improve the economic interests of the goal to expand the survival interests of non-economic objectives and to enhance the participation and cooperation as the goal. It is not the focus of attention which the type of travel product or tourism enterprises can bring the realization of these objectives, but in the end the number of net benefits of growth is shared by the poor. In our academic research and policy discussions, and PPT is the meaning of words most similar to "tourism help the poor." PPT stressed that "development" rather than "growth." "Development" would not only represent the increase in total economic output, but also means that qualitative changes, including the most basic of poor people out of poverty, the concept of poverty eradication, development opportunities for the poor, increases as the core issue. Only improve the quality of the population, can enhance capacity building in poor areas, Poverty and the poor and to rid itself of the opportunity. ST-EP and the meaning of the concept of the proposed upgrading of 2002 年 8, the World Tourism Organization summit on sustainable development held in Johannesburg, South Africa. The support of the United Nations Conference on, at first proposed to "sustainable tourism as an effective tool for poverty eradication," the notion that "ST-EP" (SustainableTourismasaneffectivetoolforEliminatingPoverty), and immediately begin the start of this concept program. In fact, this program started, the United Nations to eliminate poverty guidelines and the World Tourism Organization, a long-sought goal of sustainable tourism linked to a central theme of the summit in South Africa. United Nations Millennium Development Goals program, by 2015 half the world's extreme poverty, while the SE-EP positive response to this goal. ST-EP after the term of a generation, it quickly replaced in the international arena, and eliminate the almost synonymous use of PPT. Because there is too strong negative meaning PPT: understanding in the West, no one would be willing to as "poor" or "poor" (thepoor), the abbreviation of color with very discriminatory. Therefore, ST-EP is a much more acceptable to all, without demeaning the neutral acronym. It better reflects rich and poor, the fair values of equality. ST-EP significance for the direction of the tourism industry PPT and the ST-EP is not a new form of tourism, nor is a new tourism products. It is a path of tourism development. With this concept of thinking, this cake can be left to travel more poor people to share. The establishment of this concept for the development of sponsoring agencies and international organizations that fund new endeavors. But this concept is not clear how the policy should be to develop tourism and to achieve the objective of eradicating poverty. Therefore, the World Tourism Organization to carry out the project's main job is to support the search for ST-EP model best practice research, and recognizes the best model. tourism industry because of the diversity and complexity of composition, tourism is often narrowly defined as the service sector, such as accommodation and catering industry, tourism and any major industry will be integrated into other economic, social and , cultural, environmental activities, go forward and backward linkages always easy to be ignored. But only the tourism industry as a whole and the system is to operate, the tourism industry is possible as a powerful tool for poverty eradication. In the context of this industry, the Government's role is crucial, because without the Government's support and involvement, the progress of poor and disadvantaged populations is very difficult to achieve. Most poor people must have some form of authority, and such authorization must be supported by legislation. Because without the support of the legal framework, any vested interests will benefit vulnerable groups to block the development of positive action, such pro-poor program can not achieve sustainable development. international community has recognized tourism as a potential to promote Third World economic development driver. Tourism is a broad road: it allows third-world countries to share more of global trade opportunities, but also to prevent them from increasing marginalization in the global economy the most effective methods. And economic marginalization is a common problem in most less developed countries. Catalyst for the tourism industry by playing the role is to guide the part of the developing countries to a higher level of prosperity one of the few economic sectors. For some countries, the tourism industry can even let them out of the status of poor countries. Samoa in the South Pacific is in accordance with the development of ST-EP thinking typical case. sponsor of the world, many developing and donor governments in the past decade, more attention to the eradication of poverty, and to this issue as the core of their funding activities. Many of them pay close attention to tourism, and tourism as potential avenues to achieve poverty eradication. They understand that the key issue is: in many cases, poor people hold the ownership of resources (such as cultural festivals), which can be used to develop tourism. Thus be possible to achieve PPT and ST-EP. While to date the development of ST-EP does not mature, but the fact that tourism is convincing more and more institutions are making the development of relevant policies, and many developing countries to try to reduce the use of tourism poverty action. The most famous of these institutions include the World Tourism Organization, the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank, the United Kingdom Department for International Development, SNV Netherlands Development Organization, United Nations, a number of technical institutions such as the United Nations, UNCTAD and other international tourism organizations such as the Pacific Asia Travel Association and other non-governmental organizations. Need to eliminate poverty in the context of the development of the tourism industry was left to deal with the private sector in developing countries will have a big problem, because the private sector in these countries the shortage of funds, institutions and capacity are incomplete. In this case, the particular need to strengthen the private sector and the national tourism authority of the cooperation between the departments. The national tourism sector must represent the interests of international organizations or institutions, and is responsible for the development and operation of the tourism industry. The only way to ensure the ST-EP strategy and specific implementation of effective design. To achieve this goal, there must also be experienced from foreign experts to participate in these international organizations to the project. China currently has a number of regional tourism development funds from international organizations such project funding, understanding and a deep understanding of ST-EP the background of this concept will help our government and relevant departments to better attract and use of relevant international organizations or donor funds. Correspondingly, only with adequate funding institutions, the government's full support and all stakeholders to participate fully in poor areas to implement ST-EP projects.

Oprah Disses Obamacare
Oprah Winfrey has learned her lesson, and it only cost about $110M.
Oprah's endorsement of Obama before his first election caused a significant ratings drop and ultimately led to her abandoning her talk show.
Choosing to go out on top (barely), Oprah started her own network, aptly named OWN. Winfrey made a series of bad moves, such as hiring Liberal hack and has-been, Rosie O'Donnell.
But when called to support Obamacare, Oprah had seen enough.
After all she had done to get the Obama's elected, there was rumor of a rift between her and Michelle, most likely a cat fight as to who was really America's new black queen.
Whatever the cause of the big chill between her and the Obamas, Oprah was eager to turn down an invitation to visit the White House in support Obamacare.
As: reported: in the NY Post,
As the White House was gearing up to sell Obamacare to the American people last summer, Valerie Jarrett, the president's pointwoman on a host of issues, phoned Oprah Winfrey.
She invited the Queen of All Media to join celebrities, including Amy Poehler, Jennifer Hudson and Alicia Keys, to meet with President Obama and discuss how they could generate publicity for his health-care law.
Oprah refused to go, instead insulting Obama by sending a surrogate.
It's ok, because Obama had plenty of other hucksters at the ready to try to pimp Obamacare to the stupid in America.

Can you pay your litigation bills? You might be required to show proof...
In a group action for damages for defects in breast implants, the claimants were concerned about the financial position of the lead defendant (Transform). They wanted to see Transform's liability insurance to find out if it could finance its way through the litigation and, ultimately, pay damages and costs. To obtain this information, they applied to the court for further information and clarification using CPR 18 and CPR 3.1 (2) (m).
On the evidence, the judge found that Transform might not be able to fund the litigation — or pay damages or costs. Were Transform to become insolvent during the proceedings, the court would have to make substantial adjustments to the running of the group action, including the establishment of new sample cases, a review of the case management directions and, possibly, a new trial date. By not providing the insurance details, Transform was therefore risking wasted costs and court time at the public's expense.
The key issue was whether the court could use CPR 18 or CPR 3.1(2)(m) to order disclosure of the insurance details…

Siena and UAlbany basketball coverage
By Mark Singelais and Tim Wilkin

Concussion problems linger for Magee
LOUDONVILLE – Cory Magee, still coping with the effects of a concussion suffered in the preseason, will be shut down, "for awhile," Siena coach Fran McCaffery said Friday. Magee, a junior forward, had been practicing on and off but has yet to appear in a game this season. He didn't dress for Siena's victory over […] [Read More]
Cooley furious with Fairfield's defense
ALBANY – Fairfield coach Ed Cooley ripped his team's defense in the news conference following Siena's 87-81 victory at Times Union Center on Thursday. Cooley, in fact, described his team's defense with a four-letter, R-Rated word. Trust me, you won't need to study the following sound byte for long to get the gist. "I didn't […] [Read More]
Siena beats Fairfield to stay unbeaten in MAAC
ALBANY — The Big Four of Edwin Ubiles, Kenny Hasbrouck, Ronald Moore and Alex Franklin all scored in double-figures, and the Siena men's basketball team beat Fairfield, 87-81, at Times Union Center on Thursday. Ubiles led with 22 points, Moore scored 20, Hasbrouck had 17 and Franklin added 15. Moore was facing preseason first-team All-MAAC […] [Read More]
Siena leads Fairfield at the half
ALBANY — Siena used a 9-0 run before intermission to open a 45-40 lead over Fairfield at halftime Thursday at Times Union Center. Ronald Moore paced the Saints with 14 points on 5-for-6 shooting. Moore also was 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. Kenny Hasbrouck added 11 for Siena, and Edwin Ubiles scored 10. Greg Nero […] [Read More]
Siena, Fairfield: The starting lineups
ALBANY — I promise to go one blog entry without mentioning Holy Cross coach Ralph Willard. Oops. OK, starting now then. Looks a good New Year's Day crowd here at Times Union center. Here are the staring lineups for Siena, Fairfield: Siena G Ronald Moore G Kenny Hasbrouck F Edwin Ubiles F Alex Franklin F […] [Read More]
Saints, Stags to ring in the new year
LOUDONVILLE – By Wednesday afternoon, the stitches needed to close the gash on Ronald Moore's chin barely were visible. An x-ray on Josh Duell's black eye came back negative. Overall, the Siena men's basketball team managed to emerge from a physical game against Holy Cross in relatively good health. That was welcome news for the […] [Read More]
Siena president supports McCaffery
LOUDONVILLE – Siena's school president, the Rev. Kevin Mullen, said he had no problem with Fran McCaffery's decision not to shake hands with Holy Cross coach Ralph Willard after Tuesday's game. "Sometimes in a game where there's bad blood, there's that line, and it can go over it," Mullen said. "If there were tempers, people […] [Read More]
A day later, McCaffery still fumes
LOUDONVILLE – Don't bet on Fran McCaffery shaking Ralph Willard's hand anytime soon. McCaffery said that Siena's 83-71 victory over Holy Cross on Tuesday was the last game between the two schools. The contract between the Saints and Crusaders expired this season, and it won't be renewed, McCaffery said. As of mid-afternoon Wednesday, McCaffery said […] [Read More]

Great Birthday Weekend
We had a fantastic time! Tenth floor view was awesome! Really enjoyed the oceanfront. Parking was nice. It was really convient to have the elevator right in the parking deck. The hotel staff were very helpful. Gave us coupons and tips on events
happening that weekend. Had my first ever wine tasting!! Entire weekend and trip completely great!! Only thing I didnt like was the fees at the hotel that the travel company quoted me was incorrect and they might want to put a note in when getting a rental car with package, they put a hold on monies in my bank account. Other than that, AWESOME!!
Big Daddy's Roadhouse is an awesome place to eat!! Everything was delicious and out in a timely fashon. Alcoholic drinks were exceptional!! Havent had a strawberry margarita like that in a while!
Great location, nice enough
This is a nice place to stay. There is a nice restaurant with a peer and a decent priced menu right next to it. The pools were a little cold and crowded, but as long as you go in the summertime, the outside ones should be warm enough to swim in (I
went in March). The beds need an upgrade, but they were comfortable enough for sleep. Very nice place.
Go to the Market Commons for dinner and drinks. Go to Broadway at the Beach for clubs and dancing or bands etc..
I grew up there, so trust me on this.
Crown Reef Getaway
We had a great time! Everything there was very nice & we enjoyed the bar, restaurant & pool at the hotel.
Lots of coupons at check-in that we were able to use during our trip
Good Family getaway
Good for the price. the appliances were a little outdated and the bathroom was tiny.
Mother's day getaway
Room, pools and grounds were clean. Room was located on ground floor next to parking deck. Noisy at night with vehicles and motorcycles coming and going.
Very nice place to stay
My wife and I had a wonderful stay! Plenty of parking. The room was comfortable. The view was awesome! We booked a last minute weekend away and then discovered we were heading down to Myrtle Beach during BIKE WEEK! "Uh Oh" I thought...but the stay
was nice. Our room had two queen beds street-side, which was a bit noisy, so we opted to sleep on the Ocean-side of the room on the Murphy Bed. The staff was super nice. If you are looking for the Ritz Carlton, keep looking, but if you're looking a nice place with clean rooms and great view, you've found your place! I would definitely advise you to check and see if it's one of the sever Bike Weeks however. Pool and Lazy River were also very nice.
This is on the south end of Myrtle Beach...I would highly recommend you utilize the Grissom Parkway to come down versus just taking Hwy 17 Business if you are coming from a northerly location.
great getaway for two
I was a little put off at first with the front desk, but after I got the attendant to speak to us a little he was fine. The room was fabulous. We booked the night before we checked in and was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed all the amenities. The
water in the pool was cold but I didn't expect it to be warm this early in the season. I will definitely be back.
Family Getaway
Really enjoy my stay and can't wait til I reutrn. There wee minor issues but overall service was great!!
Hotel was nice and in a good location right on the beach !!!! Loved my stay wish I could've stayed l
Location location location loved my stay her at this hotel would recommend it to anyone
Awesome hotel for the price
Clean, great pools, nice room and view - I will be back

DUI driver attracts attention to self with police siren
COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS — The last thing a man who police suspect was driving drunk wanted to do was have attention drawn to him.
So turning on the police-quality siren in his vehicle probably was the last thing he wanted to happen.
Just after 5 a.m. Sunday, two people were in a Range Rover near 2142 E. 6675 South. The vehicle was equipped with police-quality red and blue lights and a siren. For an unknown reason, the passenger in the vehicle turned on the siren, said Cottonwood Heights Police Sgt. Gary Young.
A nearby officer heard the siren and went to check it out.
The officer recognized the vehicle wasn't a police car, and immediately detected an odor of alcohol on the driver's breath after pulling him over, Young said. The officer eventually determined the driver was drunk, cited him for DUI and impounded the vehicle, he said.
Police were investigating the vehicle had lights and sirens. There was no indication the driver was impersonating an officer. The driver claimed he had permission to have the lights installed, Young said.

World Briefing | Europe: Northern Ireland: Sinn Fein Condemned For Shirts
Published: July 24, 2003
A T-shirt bearing the image of an I.R.A. sniper brandishing a rifle has caused an uproar, with Protestant and Roman Catholic politicians in the province condemning Sinn Fein, the political arm of the Irish Republican Army, for selling the shirts on its new Web site. The Ulster Unionist Party, the main political grouping of the Protestant majority, called for the Web site to be removed. The moderate Catholic Social Democratic and Labor Party also condemned the T-shirt offer, saying the Web site was ''turning the clock back to the years of violence.'' The shirts, shown with other merchandise, feature a gunman silhouetted inside a red triangle above the legend ''Sniper at Work.'' The cost is $17.23. The image is based on homemade road signs that appeared in the I.R.A. stronghold of South Armagh. The Sinn Fein leader, Gerry Adams, dismissed the complaints as ''silly-season nonsense.''
