The Obama administration is preparing a new batch of sanctions against Iran to be announced in advance of upcoming nuclear talks in Turkey.
Barbara Slavin, last updated: December 17, 2010
Inter Press Service
The Barack Obama administration is preparing a new batch of sanctions against Iran to be announced next week in advance of nuclear talks in Turkey.
Two Iran experts in Washington who are usually well briefed about U.S. Iran policy said more Iranian officials would be designated as abusers of human rights on top of eight sanctioned earlier this year. That would deny them the right to travel to the U.S. and freeze any assets they might hold in this country.
Gary Samore, White House coordinator on non-proliferation, told a neoconservative organisation, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, last week that the U.S. would "maintain and even increase pressure" against Iran so long as negotiations produced no progress on curbing Iran's nuclear programme.
Asked by IPS if that meant new punishments before a meeting expected in January in Istanbul, Samore said, "I think it would be an important message to send to take additional measures."
U.S. officials have described two days of talks with Iran in Geneva last week – the first in more than a year - as underwhelming. Samore said there had been "no visible progress".
Another U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the Iranian delegation, led by national security adviser Saeed Jalili, spent most of the time in "political posturing". Unlike last year's session, there was no one-on- one meeting between Jalili and the top U.S. representative, undersecretary of State Bill Burns.
However, U.S. officials remain hopeful that at the least, sanctions will slow Iran's nuclear progress, and at best, change Iran's cost-benefit analysis regarding a programme with potential military applications.
"I believe that if the cost is high enough, they will accept suspension" of their uranium enrichment programme, Samore said last week.
Iranian officials have given no indication of such flexibility. In fact, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said repeatedly that he will not suspend enrichment of uranium, which has given Iran a stockpile of more than 3,000 kilogrammes of lightly processed nuclear fuel.
U.S. officials this week were trying to understand what impact if any the forced exit of Iranian Foreign Minister Manuchehr Mottaki would have on negotiations.
Mottaki is to be replaced by Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation. Educated in the United States at M.I.T., Salehi is certainly well versed in nuclear matters. But the abrupt manner of his appointment – while Mottaki was on a diplomatic mission in Africa - has further alienated Iranian conservatives who are increasingly worried by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's consolidation of power and who blocked a tentative nuclear deal last year.
Trita Parsi, head of the National Iranian American Council and a scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, called the substitution of Salehi for Mottaki "a mixed bag". If Iran is serious about a resolution of the nuclear dispute, Salehi could be an asset, Parsi said, but he might be weaker on other issues.
There was a flurry of negative reaction to the move even in Iran's highly restricted press. This is despite the fact that Mottaki has been more spokesman than player in Iranian foreign affairs throughout his five-year tenure and especially since disputed 2009 presidential elections.
At a conference in Bahrain earlier this month, he literally ran away from U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. At the same time, he described as positive Clinton's remarks that Iran might be allowed to enrich uranium at some point in the future – if it satisfied international concerns.
The Obama administration has focused on the nuclear issue with Iran, but has also sought to show concern for human rights in the wake of a brutal government crackdown on protestors following last year's elections.
In September, the White House designated eight Iranian officials, including the commander of the Revolutionary Guards, the intelligence minister and the former chief prosecutor, for "serious human rights abuses against the people of Iran".
At the time, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said that the "list of names is not exhaustive and will continue to grow based on events in Iran, and as additional information and evidence becomes available".
Mark Kirk, a Republican from Illinois newly elected to fill Obama's old seat in the Senate, has suggested that the Obama administration go further and "make human rights a central tenet of future negotiations with Iran".
Keynoting the Foundation for Defense of Democracies conference last week, Kirk – who helped author a major sanctions bill when he was in the House – said that President Obama should invite exiled members of the opposition Green Movement to meet him at the White House, increase funding for Iranian democracy promotion and make Iranian political prisoners "household names throughout America" much as Ronald Reagan did with Soviet detainees in the 1980s.

Michael Oren served as Israeli ambassador to the United States from 2009 to 2013. A naturalized Israeli who was born in the United States, Oren has spurred widespread criticism for a recent book in which he lambasted President Obama's foreign policy and Jewish Americans' views of Israel. Among his claims are that "persistent fears of anti-Semitism" have spurred Jewish Americans "to distance themselves from Israel."
Citizens for a Nuclear Free Iran (CNFI) is an offshoot of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee that was founded to "educate the public about the dangers" of the recent nuclear agreement reached between Iran and the P5+1 world powers. The group has launched a multimillion-dollar ad campaign against the Iran deal, primarily aimed at Democratic constituencies. One prominent nuclear expert has described CNFI's TV ads as "very misleading."
Fellows and staff from the neoconservative Foundation for Defense of Democracies—a staunchly militarist think tank—have assailed the nuclear deal reached between Iran and major world powers. "Mr. Obama seeks to accommodate and appease Iran's rulers," FDD President Clifford May has claimed, adding that "It would be an exaggeration to say that such policies always lead to major wars and holocausts."
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has been a vocal critic of the new Iran deal and has taken the lead in trying to get Congress to reject it. The lobbying outfit recently sent an email to its top members and donors stating that the group will "mobilize the entirety" of its "institutional resources in order to articulate our concerns about the agreement and secure a broad bipartisan vote in Congress to oppose the deal."
Eli Lake is a hawkish columnist for Bloomberg View who has been a strident critic of diplomatic efforts to resolve the Iranian nuclear dispute. He has lambasted the recently reached comprehensive nuclear agreement between Iran and the P5+1 world powers, calling it "an abandonment of traditional American leadership in the Middle East and in the areas of nonproliferation and terrorism."

July 25, 2015
According to a former AIPAC official, the lobby is heavily investing in sinking the Iran nuclear deal for a variety of reasons, none of which have to do with the merits of the agreement itself.
July 16, 2015
With the controversy over the Iran deal heating up, more than 100 former U.S. ambassadors have signed a letter lauding the agreement and urging support from Congress.

Sheldon Adelson, the Republican Party's largest donor and a close ally of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has had a significant impact on the GOP's rejection of the Iran nuclear negotiations.

Towards A Post-Crisis Global Economy: Long-Term Growth Scenarios And The Impact On Exit Strategies
Date Added: Sep 2009
Format: PDF
One year on from the onset of the global crisis, as policymakers turn from firefighting to considering the next steps for recovery, a key question is whether there has been a severe but temporary setback to economic growth or a permanent adjustment in long-run projections. Could this crisis and the cost in terms of public finances haunt the world economy for many years to come? Many analysts would agree that, compared with pre-crisis assessments for the GDP outlook, this recession will cast a long shadow over prospects for the economies most involved, chiefly the US and Europe.

Orlando's Band Marino has a good thing going. With the release of The Sea & the Beast, they've served up a slab of infectious and sunny folk pop that's one more confident stride towards redeeming a Central Floridian music scene that, until recently, was almost exclusively dominated by atrocious hardcore and speed-punk acts. Keeping step with a bevy of young, bright-eyed (not to mention high-voiced) indie popsters (Vampire Weekend, Illinois) Band Marino's debut is a vibrant mix of shanties drawing on Pixies and The Pogues for inspiration. For a debut, the songwriting is also pretty well varied (a good rocker to ballad ratio, if you will). The obvious hit, despite an awkward title, is "Everytime I Make a Girl Cry I Know I've Done My Job", boasting the big choral kiss-off, "I won't marry you / there's too much to do." Other highlights include the sublime, countrified "Chasing Rainbows" and the melancholic "Song for a Melody".

Thirteen Marlborough wine companies are investing in the industry's largest research and development project to date in an effort to extract better ways of producing high-quality, low-alcohol, low-calorie wines.
The seven-year programme, Lifestyle Wines, kicked off earlier this year as a $17 million partnership between the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), New Zealand Winegrowers (NZW), and 16 Kiwi wineries.
MPI would invest $8.13m into the programme and the wine industry would invest $8.84m.
Whitehaven chief winemaker Sam Smail said the company invested in the programme because they saw a "great future" in wine that was lower in alcohol and had fewer calories.
"We wanted to potentially make great low-alcohol wines without losing the quality impact," he said.
Low-alcohol wine was typically produced by extracting alcohol from finished wine, but this programme would focus on natural production using sustainable viticultural techniques and native yeasts.
Smail said the aim was to pick fruit at a lower sugar level, but that would not come without its difficulties.
"They can be quite green [if you pick them early] so you want ripe fruit with low sugar levels.
"We want to do it naturally without intervention. We want to do it naturally in the vineyards not in the winery." Whitehaven had no low-alcohol wines on the market, and Smail said it would be a few years before any low-alcohol wines came to fruition.
Mount Riley chief winemaker Matt Murphy said the company also invested in the programme to educate themselves and apply that knowledge to producing quality, lower-alcohol wines.
"We thought it was a great opportunity for us to get involved . . . there is a demand from customers in the marketplace to keep alcohol down in some of our wines.
"It's not hard to make a low-alcohol wine - it's a bit tricky - but that's why we got involved in the programme . . . to produce good [lower alcohol] wines."
The programme would help grow New Zealand's $1.3 billion wine export market and was designed to position New Zealand as No 1 in the world for high-quality, low-alcohol and low-calorie wines.
Demand for lower-alcohol, lower-calorie wine was increasing, Murphy said.
"The range of low-alcohol wines is limited currently so there is potential for growth in overseas markets.
"We haven't given it a huge amount of consideration but our sales team said it was something they could sell . . . [so] we will sell it domestically in the first instance and then branch overseas."
Mount Riley would produce their first low-alcohol sauvignon blanc this year, he said.
MPI said the low-alcohol wine market could be worth as much as $285m by 2023.

A wheel support system for articles of furniture and the like wherein the wheels are adapted to be readily dismantled from their support to thereby permit stacking of the furniture and wherein the wheels are engageable in vertical notches which are offset at the base of the legs of the furniture in such a manner that the wheels engage the lowermost portion of the legs and are rotatable with respect thereto.
1. A removable wheel support assembly for article supports wherein the article support includes a frame portion and at least one depending leg member comprising said leg member having a base portion and outer vertically oriented wall portions, a partition extending outwardly from said vertically oriented wall portions, a depending flange connected to said partition and spaced outwardly and in generally parallel relationship to said vertically oriented wall portions so as to create a notch therebetween, a wheel selectively mountable within said notch, said wheel having an outer peripheral surface and an inner annular and vertically oriented web which defines an opening through said wheel, said annular web being of a width to be cooperatively and removably received within said notch so that said wheel is oriented so as to rotate within said notch and around an axis of rotation which extends generally perpendicularly between said depending flange and said leg member, and said wheel being of a diameter so that the peripheral surface thereof extends downwardly so as to be aligned with or extends beyond said base portion of said leg member when said wheel is mounted within said notch.
2. The wheel support assembly of claim 1 in which said annular web of said wheel includes a generally circular inner edge which is defined having a first radius of curvature, said partition means having a lowermost convex edge being defined by a second radius of curvature, said second radius of curvature being less than said first radius of curvature.
3. The wheel support assembly of claim 1 in which said peripheral portion of said wheel extends generally perpendicularly with respect to said web.
4. The wheel support assembly of claim 1 including an annular groove formed in said annular web, and means protruding within said notch for selectively engaging said groove in said annular web so as to frictionally retain said wheel within said notch.
5. The wheel support assembly of claim 4 in which said depending flange portion is resiliently movable with respect to said vertically oriented wall portions of said leg member.
6. The wheel support assembly of claim 1 in which said vertically oriented wall portions of said leg member include a pair of vertically extending and opposing flange members which are mounted perpendicularly and outwardly with respect to the frame portion and which are divergent from one another upwardly from said base portion of the leg member, said opposing flange members defining an opening therebetween which is of a size to selectively receive the leg member of another article support so that the article supports may be stacked in vertical relationship with respect to one another.
7. In an article of furniture having a frame and at least one depending leg member the improvement comprising, said leg member having a base portion and a pair of vertically oriented and outwardly diverging flange members which extend upwardly of said base portion, an elongated opening defined between said flange members of a size to permit the leg member of another article of furniture to be cooperatively received therein so that such articles of furniture may be stacked vertically with respect to one another, a wheel, said wheel being defined by an outer peripheral surface and having an inner annular web defining an opening through said wheel, a flange member mounted to said leg member and extending outwardly and downwardly in parallel relationship adjacent to said leg member so as to create a notch therebetween, said web portion of said wheel being selectively receivable within said notch so that said leg member is rotatably supported on said wheel.
8. The improvement in an article of furniture of claim 7 including means for securing said wheel within said notch.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a wheel system adapted to be dismantled very rapidly from a support such as the legs of a reclining chair or the like.
2. History of the Related Art
It is known that individuals appreciate reclining chairs for sunbathing which may be moved like a wheelbarrow or rolled on two wheels associated with the front or rear feet or legs of the chair or other article. However, when chairs are provided with wheels, it is virtually impossible to stack them unless the wheels are dismantled. It will be readily understood that such dismantling is tedious, with the result that it is not possible to accomplish the desired result.
It is an object of the improvements forming the subject matter of the present invention to produce a wheel system for lounge and other chairs which permits the wheels to be dismantled instantaneously and without using any tool.
The wheel system according to the invention is unique in that the wheels include vertically oriented annular webs which are receivable in vertical notches open towards the ground and which notches are made in an outwardly offset manner at the base of a leg or other support. The rounded bottom of the legs defines a stop against which part of the inner edge of the wheels bear, either when at rest or when the wheels rotate when the chair or other article of furniture is being moved.
Thus, when the wheels of the present invention are engaged in the vertical notches, their peripheral surface will rest against the ground, with the result that, by equipping the two corresponding legs of a reclining chair or the like for sunbathing, such chair may be moved like a wheelbarrow. When it is desired to stack such articles or chairs, it suffices to withdraw the wheels from their vertical notches and to engage the corresponding legs within one another.
The invention will be more readily understood on reading the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is an exploded view in perspective of a wheel system adapted to be dismantled from the legs of a chair in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 2 is a side view having sections broken away showing the manner in which a wheel is placed in position with respect to a leg of a chair or other article of furniture.
FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate on an enlarged scale and in partial transverse section along lines III--III of FIG. 2, the two respective positions for a wheel with respect to a chair or other article of furniture.
FIG. 1 partially illustrates the frame 1 of a chair provided with legs 2 with which it is desired to associte a wheel 3 in an easily dismountable manner. The frame 1 may constitute the principal element of a reclining chair or other article which is desired to be moved or manipulated like a wheelbarrow.
Each leg 2 comprises a small vertical panel 2a of trapezoidal form whose base constitutes the free end of the leg of a chair, chaise or other article of furniture. Two upwardly divergent oblique sides extend outwardly of the panel 2a and are identified as flanges 2b, 2c, which are oriented perpendicularly to the panel. In this way, leg 2 is recessed and outwardly open. The dimensions of the legs are such that the frames 1 may be stacked one on the other with their respective legs engaging in those of other frames.
The lower parts of the two flanges 2b, 2c are joined by a vertical wall 2d of which the free edge is upwardly concave. The edge extends inwardly from a vertical flange 2g which is oriented downwardly and parallel to wall 2d. In this way, flange 2g, partition 2f and wall 2d define a vertical notch 4 which is open downwardly with the upper portions thereof 4a being convex towards the ground.
Each wheel 3 includes an annular web 3a of which the periphery is associated with a rim 3b oriented perpendicularly thereto. Therefore, each wheel is in the form of a circular element whose sides include the web 3a and the rim 3b. The inner face of web 3a is provided with an annular groove 3c for purposes which will be better explained hereinbelow. It is noted that the inner periphery of web 3a defines an opening having a radius greater than that of the upper portion 4a of the notch 4, while the thickness is such as to enable the web 3a to be received within the notch 4.
From the foregoing description, it is observed that notch 4 is offset outwardly with respect to leg 2, with the result that the outer face of web 3a (not shown in FIG. 1) may be positioned against the edges of flanges 2b and 2c when flanges 2g is oriented in the central opening of the web so as to engage the web 3a between the flange 2g and the wall 2d of the leg 2, as illustrated in discontinuous lines in FIG. 2.
In order to secure a wheel in position, it suffices to subject it to an upward translation in the direction of arrow F (FIGS. 2 and 3) so that the web 3a penetrates into notch 4. In this position, the inner edge of the web comes into contact with the upper portion 4a of the notch 4. The inner face of flange 2g includes a lug 2h which projects into notch 4 so that, when wheel 3 is placed in position in this notch, the lug will be resiliently engaged in groove 3c of wheel 3 due to the elasticity of the flange 2g which is flexed outwardly upon the passage of web 3a. Each wheel is therefore maintained in mounted position within a notch so that the frame 1 may be raised without the wheels being displaced from the legs 2.
The wheels are withdrawn by exerting a force in the direction opposite that of arrow F after the frame is raised so as to allow the removal of webs 3a from the notches 4. The height of the webs 3a of the wheels 3 is such that the rims 3b which are associated therewith project beyond or at the least are flush with the bottom of the legs 2 which are closed on their sides by tabs 2i.
It must, moreover, be understood that the foregoing description has been given only by way of example and that it in no way limits the domain of the invention which would not be exceeded by replacing the details of execution described by any other equivalents.

Close to wine festival!Posted Jul 14, 2015
We stayed here for the Finger Lakes wine festival. It was very clean and met our expecations. We had issues with our microwave, and maintenance showed up within 10-15 minutes of calling which was impressive. My two complaints: 1. They should've offered a shuttle service to the wine festival. For this reason alone, I would consider a different hotel next year if they offered this service. 2. $11 for hot breakfast was a bit ridiculous. It looked like a nice breakfast with omelettes, but nothing spectacular. We felt it should have been free

Disappointed...Posted Jun 12, 2015
Pros: The staff was friendly..but somewhat unattentive
Cons: smoke free rooms...are supposed to be just that. i am booked for this hotel in early July and wish i had not prepaid for two rooms..
Location: nothing special
I specifically requested a non smoking room and while the room may have been labeled a non smoking roon, from the second I openned the door into my room it was obvious that this room had been smoked in as the smell was overwhelming and made the visit extremely uncomfortable...very disappointed..

Unravelling India's innovative streak
The Internet is offering India's instinctive entrepreneurship an ever-expanding platform-be it for scientific research and development (R&D), restructuring, medical diagnostics and clinical trials of drug molecules, cutting-edge research with stem cells, or nanotechnology; or, in the softer spheres, like long-distance publishing, accounting, or, as a lawyer friend tells me, "in drafting every document relevant to a litigation, except the judgment."

US Supreme Court to rule on key equal marriage cases on Wednesday
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
You misunderstand the US, when you speculate there will be a long legal battle before we have equal marriage. It will be a long political battle, not legal to achieve equality. Part of this is due to the Federal nature of our nation, and part is due to how the bans on marriage spread in the past 15 years.
Today might be a good day :-)
I'm hearing unofficially that pro-marriage equality Aussie ex-PM Kevin Rudd has just become pro-marriage equality Aussie PM Kevin Rudd, ousting Julia Gillard in a leadership contest. Crossing fingers that this gets confirmed :-)

The majority of organizations (61 percent) still plan to hold an office holiday party for employees, SHRM's "Holiday Party and 2010 Holidays Organizations Plan to Observe Poll" found. Small (72 percent) and medium-sized (67 percent) organizations were more likely than large-sized organizations (48 percent) to hold 2009 end-of-year/ holiday parties. "Employers recognize the role of holiday parties in boosting employee morale, especially during a tough economy, when it is more important than ever to acknowledge and reward employees with a holiday gesture," said Steve Williams, SHRM's director of research. "Holiday parties are a way companies can show employees gratitude for accepting more responsibilities, increasing productivity, and keeping businesses running during a difficult economic climate." The SHRM holiday poll also shows trends in workplace policies regarding alcohol consumption. Roughly 22 percent of surveyed employers have a formal policy that does not allow drinking alcohol during work-related events while nine percent have an informal policy that does not allow it. Another 11 percent of HR professionals report having a formal policy that addresses and allows drinking alcohol during work-related events while 18 percent have an informal policy. Work-related events include holiday parties, co-worker lunches, job interviews over a meal, happy hour, client dinners, and most company-sponsored events and celebrations. The poll also highlights holidays organizations plan to observe in 2010. Numbers remain consistent to those holidays observed in 2009. The top five holidays employers will observe in 2010 are: New Year's Day – January 1st – (98 percent); Thanksgiving Day – November 25th – (98 percent); Labor Day – September 6th – (96 percent); Memorial Day – May 31st – (95 percent); and July 5th (July 4th falls on Sunday) – (82 percent).

David Cameron's allies take control from critics in rebel Tory group
No 10 accused of trying to fill 1922 Committee with stooges to silence opposition against PM
Nigel Morris
Nigel Morris is Deputy Political Editor at The Independent.
Thursday 17 May 2012
Critics of David Cameron last night lost an acrimonious battle for control of an influential Conservative backbench committee with direct access to the Prime Minister.
The contest for positions on the 1922 Committee had exposed growing fault-lines and tensions within the party after a badly-received Budget and the Tories' poor local election results.
New MPs presenting themselves as modernisers emerged triumphant as they ousted leading critics of the Government, including Christopher Chope and Peter Bone from posts on the committee.
The elections were marred by accusations of dirty tricks between rival camps of MPs. An anonymous letter was circulated among Tories calling for "modernisers" to be stopped, while Mr Cameron's critics claimed that Downing Street was trying to silence dissent by getting its supporters on to the executive. The 1922 Committee is designed to alert ministers to backbenchers' concerns about the direction the Government is taking.
The elections became a struggle between longer-serving MPs, who have been openly critical of the Prime Minister's leadership, and younger "progressive" Tories demanding greater loyalty to Mr Cameron.
The 301 Group – named after the number of MPs needed to obtain an overall majority at the next election – organised a slate of MPs first elected in 2010 to stand in the elections. They succeeded in securing a series of posts in the ballot, which was open to backbenchers and ministerial aides. Karen Bradley, a 301 member, and Nick de Bois won the two joint-secretary posts.
Mr Chope, who complained about the "massive watering-down" of Tory manifesto promises within weeks of the Coalition's creation, was defeated for the post. Mark Pritchard, another Cameron critic, had voluntarily stood down as the other 1922 secretary.
Eight of the 12 MPs elected to the committee's executive are from the 301 group, including George Eustice, George Hollingbery and Priti Patel. Prominent Cameron critic Peter Bone was ejected, although the right-winger Bernard Jenkin and the independent-minded Steve Baker were elected.
