RIYADH Saudi Arabia has announced it is switching its official weekend to Fridays and Saturdays, bringing the kingdom's working week closer in line with other countries in a move long desired by many of the country's businesses.
Saudi Arabia, the biggest Arab economy, had been the only member of the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council to have a Thursday-Friday weekend after Oman shifted to a Friday-Saturday weekend last month.
The surprise move, which will be applied from this week, was immediately welcomed by Saudi economists and businessmen as giving the private sector an extra day of alignment with international businesses.
"It will increase interface with the rest of the world, now things will move faster," said Ali al-Ajmi, a former vice president at state oil company Saudi Aramco who now runs a project management business.
Abdulrahman al-Ubaid, a former vice president at Saudi Basic Industries Corp (SABIC) 2010.SE, the world's biggest petrochemcial company, and now managing director of Saudi Development and Innovation Group, also welcomed the change.
"We expect the impact to be positive on the Saudi economy, we think our business will be easier," he said.
Saudi Arabia is considering opening its stock market to more direct foreign investment in the future. At present, stocks move considerably on shifts in global equities and commodities markets.
Although the world's top oil exporter had discussed looking at the change in its weekend in the future, few people had expected it to make the switch so soon.
However, some Saudi companies, including food producer Savola 2050.SE had already announced they would change their own weekend to Friday and Saturday to improve their coordination with regional partners.
The fact the change is happening in June, after schools have closed and while many Saudis are on holiday before the Ramadan fast which starts on July 9, means it will be less jarring, economists said.
"Instead of having just three working days aligned with the rest of the world, now you will have a full team for most of the working week that the rest of the world applies. One extra day does play a considerable role in increasing output," said John Sfakianakis of chief investment officer at Masic investment in Riyadh.
Traditionally Saudis had a six-day working week, taking off Fridays when Muslims are enjoined to attend mosque for communal prayers, but the government added Thursday to the official weekend.
Some religious conservatives had argued against moving to a Friday-Saturday weekend because they feared it smacked of westernisation. However, that argument did not enjoy serious support, said Saudi sociologist Khalid al-Dakhil.
"In terms of religious opposition, yes there might be some, but there's absolutely no unanimity in opposing this course among religious people," he said.
A statement on Sunday on national Saudi news agency SPA said the change, decreed by King Abdullah, will take effect as of this weekend, "for the sake of putting an end to the negative effects and the lost economic opportunities consistently associated with variation based on work days between local departments, ministries and institutions and the regional and international counterparts."
King Abdullah issued the decree following a recommendation in April by the Kingdom's Shura Council, which advises the government on new laws, to investigate changing the country's official weekend from the current Thursday and Friday.

DEFINITION of 'Confidential Treatment Order - CTO'

Companies would typically seek a CTO in order to keep information that would otherwise put it at a disadvantage, a secret.

Key to healthy heart: Apples
London: A new research has found that apart from keeping the doctor away, apples can also be effective in preventing heart attacks and strokes in people over 50s.
Study leader at Oxford University, Dr Adam Briggs, said that the research shows how effective small changes in diet can be and that drugs and healthier living can make a real difference in preventing heart disease and stroke, the Daily Express reported.
Dr Peter Coleman, of the Stroke Association, said that apples have long been known as a natural source of antioxidants and chemical compounds called flavanoids, all of which are good for our health.
Coleman asserted that study shows that, as part of a healthy diet with plenty of fresh fruit and veggies, a daily apple could help to reduce the risk of stroke and heart disease.
Coleman added that while it is vital that those who have been prescribed statins continue to take the highly-effective medication, everyone can lower their risk of stroke with simple lifestyle changes, like eating a balanced diet.
The study is published in the British Medical Journal.

After the continuous quest for what I was hungry for (that is my everlasting longing for Disney World) wasn't quenched with my bowl of granola topped fruit, I realized that what I really wanted----scratch that----- what I craved was the delectable confection found under the antler clad halls of Gaston's … [Read more...]

Disney Dining at the bluezoo in Disney's Swan & Dolphin Resort
I had the pleasure of dining at Todd English's bluezoo at Disney's Swan & Dolphin Resort when I was at Disney for the 24 hour event a few weeks ago, not really knowing much about the restaurant after walking under this sign, who knew that I would be experiencing one of the best meals of my life...While not Disney themed at all Todd English's bluezoo is upscale dining at it's finest.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
02 Jan 2014 11:32 GMT
The state police of the eastern city of Kolkata has been facing severe criticism over their handling of the death of a gang-rape victim.
Clashes broke out between the police and members of the main opposition Communist Party of India (CPM) in Kolkata over the death of a 16-year-old girl. The girl, who was raped twice in a span of two days in October end, died on NewYear's eve in a mysterious fire.
Local TV network, NDTV, quoted police as saying that the girl was pregnant.
"Brutalised in death, too", read the state's leading newspaper, The Telegraph.
Protests erupted when the police tried to stop the victim's father from holding a condolence rally and cremate his daughter's body.
The police have been accused of forcefully trying to cremate the body without the family's consent, according to agency reports.
The girl was admitted in a city hospital with body burns where she died on late on Tuesday.
Unending harassment
Earlier reports suggested that the girl had been shamed by the rapists to take the extreme step of attempting to immolate herself. They had threatened the family if they reported the crime to authorities.
However, on January 1 fresh reports quoted a top police official that the girl had been set on fire by two of her perpetrators. The girl's family alleged that the police stopped the funeral procession and "confiscated" the body for a few hours after insisting that it should be cremated at a place of their choice. The police have denied the allegations.
"The government is trying to shield goons," said Brinda Karat, a Left party leader.
The girl's body was released early on Wednesday and the funeral procession was marked by protestors holding placards condemning the police and the state government's apathy.
The mysterious manner in which the police tried to thwart the procession has raised questions about who could have tried to buy the silence of the aggrieved family.
The ruling Trinamool party has accused the Left party of turning a tragedy into politics.
The chief minister of neighbouring Bihar state has announced a compensation of Rs 1 lakh ($ 1,618) for the family as they are from the state.
This incident along with the infamous February 2012 Park Street rape has brought shame to the city considered safest for women in India.

Quick Oat Waffles will tickle the taste buds on Mother's Day
When asked what they would like to eat on Mother's Day, many mothers request a meal they don't have to make. However, this desire also comes with the concern that what they'll ultimately get will have the nutrition and flavor of a cardboard box. As well, how can Dad get the kids, even the little ones, involved in this gift for Mom?
Every family has a favorite answer to these concerns, sometimes resorting to carry-out pizza. But around our house we make waffles, which are easy, tasty, go well with bacon and involve everyone. Making batters, cracking eggs and mixing are good tasks for younger children, while teenagers can be involved in the actual cooking and everyone can participate when it comes to garnishing with syrups, jams, whipping cream and fresh fruit.
In our home there have been many waffle recipes dubbed the family "favorite." The long-standing perfect waffle was a basic buttermilk waffle from the "Joy of Cooking" cookbook. This year we fell in love with an oat-based recipe that tickles the taste buds and is a little more nutritious.
No matter the recipe you choose, consider making a large batch and freezing the leftovers. This expands Mom's special meal to a simple weekday breakfast in the form of toaster waffles. She'll thank you for it!
Quick Oat Waffles
3/4 cup ground old fashioned oats
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup wheat flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoons Ultra Gel (optional; keeps waffles moist when frozen)
3 large eggs
2 ounces unsalted butter, melted
2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Heat waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions. (This recipe works with both standard and Belgian waffle irons.)
In a medium bowl combine ground oats, flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and Ultra Gel. Set aside.
In a separate bowl whisk eggs until pale yellow, add butter and combine before adding the buttermilk and vanilla. Add all wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined. There will be lumps, but that's OK. Let batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
Grease waffle iron with pan spray or butter. Ladle batter into iron. Close and cook until golden and crispy. Remove to a plate and serve or keep warm in a 200-degree oven.
To freeze waffles: Place cooled waffles in layers separated with parchment paper in a gallon freezer bag or plastic freezer container. To serve frozen waffles, remove frozen waffles and heat to desired warmth in oven or toaster.

Just didn't know where to place this topic.i decided to place it here in the religion section for no reason.
That said,something happened that brought this question to my mind.a friend of mine lost his wife a few weeks ago and suddenly,was afraid of going home.claiming he sees the wife wherever he turns.he is not the only one with this unexplained fear of his dead wife.
for some,when they see their dead parents in their dreams,they wake up screaming,praying,binding or doing some other crap like that.when you think of it,it is just plain weird.i mean these were the same people they spent most of their lives with,people they loved.i just dont get it.is it just me or is there really something to fear in a dead loved one?
|Re: Why Do People Fear The Dead? by benodic: 10:59pm On Nov 27, 2012
The reaction is as a result of the doctrines we grew up with that fills us with so much fear and trepidation about the dead and after life.
Being a member of Eckankar totally eradicated that fear for me as i got to know through experience that soul is eternal and never dies.
It only drops the physical body when it is done with its lessons on earth and move naturally into the next plane.
Those who are connected with bonds of love can easily see their translated loved ones as love transcends death, unless they are afraid.
|Re: Why Do People Fear The Dead? by adahib: 10:16am On Nov 28, 2012
personally i can profer no explanation for it.i was of the opinion that something was wrong with me since i was totally indifferent to the dead.no fear,no love,no clear cut feeling.i really dont think so anymore.maybe people fear the dead because they think that(now i'm mega-speculating) the dead is a clear link to death and if the living should associate with them,then they(the living) will join them in death very soon.
|Re: Why Do People Fear The Dead? by ijawkid(m): 11:31am On Nov 28, 2012
Its simple.....because many have been indoctrinated with dogma's like the immortality of the soul,purgatory etc........
If one actually knows that the dead are conscious of nothing @ all then that individual won't have to worry about the dead.....
|Re: Why Do People Fear The Dead? by pastormustwacc: 7:06pm On Nov 28, 2012
Simple, people dont want to die. So they feel that the dead can kill them.

I don't think they are all the same. Its not like the Dark Knight Trilogy that it felt like all the films were different by 1 director and the crew for all of the films didn't change.
With X1/X2, you could see there's a difference with the tone of the movie. X1 was more serious/dark while X2 was more adventurous/thrilling and fun. Then if you compare X3 to the first 2 movies, X3 was more action-oriented and light and filled with over the top emotional scenes. Then with First Class, it was kinda campy and comic-booky compare to the original trilogy. And with Origins, the look of the movie just looked cheap, it definitely didn't look expensive compare to X3, well X3 was filmed nicely.

Federal Circuit limits ITC authority to remedy patent infringement claims based on induced infringement
In a groundbreaking decision, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit recently held that a limited exclusion order under section 337 may not be predicated on a theory of induced infringement when the subject imported product did not directly infringe before or at importation.
The case involves certain method patent claims relating to particular implementations of fingerprint image capture and processing. In the underlying investigation, Cross Match Technologies alleged that Suprema (a South Korean company that manufactures and imports hardware and software for scanning fingerprints) and Mentalix (a domestic importer of Suprema scanners) violated section 337 by importing articles that infringe certain Cross Match patents. Cross Match alleged that the method claims at issue were infringed when Suprema's scanners are used in combination with Mentalix's scanners.
The commission held that Mentalix directly infringed a Cross Match patent method claim by using its own software with imported Suprema scanners and that Suprema had induced the direct infringement by Mentalix. The commission accordingly issued a limited exclusion order directed to certain scanning devices imported 'by or on behalf of Suprema or Mentalix' and issued a cease-and-desist order directed to Mentalix…

Reading Eagle: Closing loophole on sex offendersJune 2, 2015
A measure authored by U.S. Rep. Patrick Meehan that aims to close a loophole in sex offender registry laws has cleared Congress and is headed to President Barack Obama's desk.Read more.
Pat Meehan has never let me down and he is not going to let you down either.
New Jersey Governor
Pat Meehan will bring a valued perspective to the committee work. As a former prosecutor with an exemplary record of rooting out government fraud and abuse, Congressman Meehan will work to produce fiscally responsible legislation to improve our infrastructure, protect the taxpayers and create jobs
Chairman, Transportation and Infrastructure Committee
Pat Meehan has demonstrated a strong commitment to protecting animals from cruelty and abuse...He is standing up for the values of kindness and compassion, and we urge voters who care about the humane treatment of animals to support Pat Meehan.
President, Humane Society Legislative Fund
I know that Pat is steadfastly committed to protecting our homeland from the terrorists who continue to plot and execute attacks against our nation. Pat, one of the rare freshman Members of Congress to assume a committee leadership role, is immensely qualified to lead the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence.
Chairman, Homeland Security Committee
"He definitely stood out as a leader...He walked into a room, and you knew that was a guy you wanted on your side."
Lancaster County District Attorney
Several of the 96 House freshmen stand out for their ability to raise campaign cash early in the 2012 season...Pat Meehan of Pennsylvania...raised more than $300,000.
New York Times, 4/15/2011
Pat Meehan has never let me down and he is not going to let you down either.
New Jersey Governor
"Pat Meehan is one of our majority-makers, and there is no doubt that Pennsylvania's 7th District will be a battleground in 2012. The Democrats...face a tough, skilled leader whose campaign will give them no place to hide."
Chairman, National Republican Congressional Committee
"I think he's well known to Republican leaders around the country. So on that level, it certainly shouldn't surprise anyone that Mr. Meehan has gotten some pretty significant appointments," said Madonna.
Even more impressively, this week he was named Chair of the House Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence. Pretty good for a freshman representative.

California Schemin'
Your dreams of rapping superstardom are stymied by your Scottish sound, so what do you do? Simple: reinvent yourself as a West Coast wild boy, with American accent and history to match. Keeping it real might be murder, but even when it all falls apart, at least you got to tour with Eminem and D12 – and you can salvage something by writing a book about it all.
Daryl Gates' real legacy
You may have heard about Romeo Agents, the male employees of the East German Ministry for State Security (also known as MfS or Stasi). They were unleashed on female federal employees in West Germany, with whom they began long-term relations and then began using as sources. That tactic has apparently been used in the United States as well; David Cay Johnston writes about the real legacy of Daryl Gates, the former chief of the LAPD. Gates died Friday. [more inside]

Chinese and doughnuts: A California tradition

Honesty really is the best policy

The Return of Governor Moonbeam
Jerry Brown announces his candidacy for governor of California. Jerry Brown was derided as "Governor Moonbeam" during his two-term tenure as California's governor in the mid-70s and early 80s. He even had a famous fling with Linda Ronstadt. Later he became a radio-show host and mayor of Oakland, and he's currently California's Democratic attorney general. Brown contrasts his experience with current governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Republican candidiate Meg Whitman, saying: [more inside]
The Seedier Side of Avocado Prices: Protectionism in California's Avocado Industry

Or are the causes often more insidious? A one act play sums up one perspective on the situation. [more inside]
Bringing Perry v. Schwarzenegger to the public in spite of the US Supreme Court
In its January 13, 2010 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked the public broadcast of Perry v. Schwarzenegger, a U.S. District Court case challenging the constitutional validity of California's Proposition 8, despite the ruling of Judge Vaughn Walker. Working directly from court transcripts and first-hand accounts from bloggers who have been present at the trial, marriagetrial.com is re-enacting the trial, to provide a "non-biased, objective presentation" of the case for public benefit.
This may be the "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" of political ads
Carly Fiorina, perhaps best known as the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, is attempting to become the Republican candidate for Barbara Boxer's long-time Senate seat. But her nomination isn't sewed up yet; her potential GOP challenger is former Congressman and Stanford Law professor Tom Campbell. So earlier today, Fiorina's campaign released this political attack ad against Campbell. It features her newly-minted acronym "FCINO", it's about six times longer than most political ads, it makes copious use of stock photography, and it stars demon sheep with red glowing eyes. Wait, what?
Are Pagans in California Prisons Entitled to Religious Freedom?
From The Wild Hunt:
A case coming before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals could end up having major legal ramifications for all religious minorities in the United States. Wiccan chaplain Patrick McCollum has been fighting for years to overturn the State of California's "five faiths policy", which limits the hiring of paid chaplains to Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, and Native American adherents. While McCollum has suffered setbacks in his quest, with a California federal district court ruling in early 2009 that he had no standing to bring his suit, he recently gained support on appeal from several civil and religious rights groups who argue that his case should be heard.[more inside]

"Donald Sterling Continues To Get Away With Being The Most Evil Man In Sports"
The Donald Sterling Rule "Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling lives by his own rules. And the only one that matters, apparently, is this: all bad deeds go unpunished. Over the last six years, nearly two dozen L.A. residents have sued Sterling for engaging in racist housing practices and Jim Crow-style bigotry. In a 2003 deposition, the 76-year-old real estate mogul admitted to paying a former employee to have sex with him in an elevator. Three years ago, the U.S. government charged him with "willful" mistreatment of African-American and Latino tenants, and earlier this month, he agreed to pay the Dept. of Justice nearly $3 million to settle a federal racial-discrimination housing lawsuit, the largest award ever for a case of its kind." So why, asks California's Tenants Together, has the NBA said nothing about Sterling's less than sterling behavior? [more inside]
California "City"
California City is the 3rd largest city in California (geographically), home to California's largest open-pit boron mine, a privately-run Federal Prison, and only 8,835 residents.

Schwarzenegger and ordered the case to trial in January 2010.

Schwarzenegger cut ALL state funding for domestic violence programs
On Tuesday, July 28, Arnold Schwarzenegger eliminated 100% of California domestic violence shelters' state funding. Ninety-four shelters will be affected, and the cut may lead to domestic violence victims being turned away because of a decrease in the number of staff available, a cut in programs, or shelter closure. StopFamilyViolence.org asks California residents to contact Schwarzenegger and their state legislators and request that the funding be reinstated.
How green was my valley
How green was my valley: California's economic meltdown The fields of wheat, cotton and cantaloupe that sustained his family for three generations are gone. The land is a mess of fallow fields, cracked earth and swirling dust. (PDF - By some estimates, 12.8% of the United States' agricultural production (as measured by dollar value) comes from California, and the majority of that is in the Central Valley). However, his particular scene of devastation, Mr. Allen argues, has nothing to do with the credit crisis, the housing crash or the downturn that has California in a vice grip. It has to do with a seven-centimetre-long, semi-translucent, steel blue fish known as the Delta smelt. [more inside]

Getting up to speed : "If it can get started, the California high-speed train would almost certainly be the most expensive single infrastructure project in United States history.

Green Grow the Rushes Go
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is signalling that marijuana policy will now be considered a matter of state jurisdiction. For obvious reasons, medical marijuana champions are celebrating the administration's committment to depart from the Bush and Clinton eras' previous policies of conducting frequent DEA Raids on medical marijuana dispensaries in California. But with recent signs of a U.S. economy in even more rapid decline than anyone anticipated, and with California being particularly hard hit, some California politicians are suggesting the time has finally arrived to end the prohibition and put full legalization of marijuana on the table, pointing to potential windfalls in the range of a billion dollars in new tax revenue annually.

Bob Wilkins, 1932-2009
If you were a fan of late-nite horror movies in Northern California during the 1970's, you likely spent Saturday nights watching Bob Wilkins, the droll, cigar-smoking host of Creature Features. An unlikely horror-show host, Wilkins' deadpan delivery and apparent disdain for the show's films (he reguarly suggested his audience change the channel) made Creature Features a show not to be missed. Bob Wilkins passed away today after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.
