Tony Blair's 'No Apology' Tour
Britain's former PM stands by his decision to support the war to topple Saddam.
September 12, 2010 - 12:02 am
While President Obama has been at pains in recent days to declare the Iraq War over and done with, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has been loudly defending the enterprise, and addressing the broader threat posed by radical Islam, in language that must be causing the most penitent, deferential, and morally ambiguous leader in America's history to wince.
Blair's memoir, A Journey, was published this month, thrusting him back into the media spotlight and rekindling hostility towards him from opponents of the war. In Dublin, anti-war campaigners, their ranks swollen by pro-IRA thugs, laid siege to a store where Blair was signing copies of his book, hurling eggs and, in the latest tiresome homage to the Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at George Bush, assorted pieces of footwear (they missed). The sight of self-proclaimed peace protestors standing shoulder-to-shoulder with supporters of terrorists would have seemed odd to anyone not familiar with the left's high degree of moral flexibility when it comes to choosing their allies.
Following the protests, Blair cancelled a book signing in London and a private event at an art gallery, saying he didn't want the public to be "inconvenienced" by protestors. Predictably, anti-war groups claimed victory. "It shows he is running scared," gloated Lindsey German of the Stop the War Coalition. "The people who say we should not protest are denying us the right to persist in asking questions about the war and denying the rights of Iraqis who are still suffering because of Blair's policies."
The irony is that while the anti-war crowd prefers to shout down its opponents rather than engage in debate, Blair is more than happy to answer what are necessarily difficult questions about the war. He's faced plenty in recent days — albeit from more civilized inquistors than the Stop the War Coalition — and he's been eloquent and impassioned in defense of his decision to support the invasion.
In Britain, much of the interest in Blair's book has focused on domestic politics. For observers outside the UK, and particularly in the U.S., interest is centered on Iraq, and by extension on Blair's relationship with President Bush. Blair has always been able to defend the decision to go to war, and fit that war into the bigger global picture, with an eloquence that Bush could seldom muster. In both the book itself, and interviews given to coincide with its release (including this one with the Guardian), Blair is unwavering on the need to counter the threats that were posed by Saddam and are still posed by radical Islam. He's equally resolute in his defense of President Bush. In A Journey he writes: "One of the most ludicrous caricatures of George is that he was a dumb idiot who stumbled into the presidency." He also says Bush had "genuine integrity, and as much political courage as any leader I ever met."
His arguments will be familiar to many: If al-Qaeda could have killed 300,000 instead of 3,000 on 9/11, they would have done so; after 9/11 the calculus for dealing with rogue states changed; Saddam had made and used WMDs in the past and wanted to produce them again; the war was legal because Saddam was in breach of UN resolutions; al-Qaeda and Iran were responsible for much of the bloodshed that followed the invasion, and could not be allowed to fill the power vacuum in Iraq. Blair also raised the spectre of Saddam, left in power and enriched by rising oil prices, competing with Iran for nuclear supremacy, a scenario envisioned recently by David Frum and Daniel Henninger among others.
Blair's most impressive performance came in an interview with the BBC's Andrew Marr. If you're outside the UK you won't be able to watch it at the BBC's website, but at the time of writing at least one recording was available on YouTube. The parts dealing with Iraq and the War on Terror are here and here.

Central Asia: Cosmetics, Culture and Politics
By: Gregory Grishchenko
Posted: March 3, 2011, from the March 2011 issue of GCI Magazine.
page 2 of 5
The Central Asian beauty market is worth nearly $1 billion, and has shown strong double-digit growth from 2003 to 2008. Growing awareness of beauty products on the market is one of the reasons for the increase. Despite the 2009 nosedive due to the economic crisis, the opportunities for retailers and importers based on rising concern about health do exist for products such as baby care, hair care, oral hygiene, skin care and sun care.
Kazakhstan (pop. 15.4 million), the wealthiest Central Asian state with the largest share of Slavic population (more than 34%), was influenced by its mighty neighbor, Russia, to the growing spending pattern on personal care during independence years. With total sales of $660 million in 2008, the country's beauty market demonstrated healthy growth of 8.4% in a five-year period. The following slowdown was caused by economic crisis attributed to shifting consumer preferences, mainly cutting down on premium products. Premium cosmetics, especially premium hair care and premium fragrances, started to plunge in 2008, which positively impacted mass fragrances and mass hair care growth rates.
According to Kapital.kz, Kazakhstan's business portal, currently 80–90% of the country's population prefers inexpensive cosmetics, and a significant number of customers switched to less expensive products in several market sectors—extra spending on oral hygiene or personal deodorants, for example, is no longer considered logical.
By 2008, a legally structured retail industry became a key trend in Kazakhstan's beauty market, replacing the "gray" market, with Western style stores with certified products taking the place of open air bazaars and markets selling mostly counterfeit goods. Furthermore, Western style retail is spreading further into the regional centers like Karaganda, Aktau, Atyrau and other cities where significant number of specialized outlets opened their doors to customers over the last five years. The beauty market there is far from the sophistication of the U.S. or Western Europe, however, it is the strongest player among all Central Asian states, and is comparable to the Russian market.
Multinational companies dominate the Kazakhstan's market in all cosmetic product categories, with the biggest investments in beauty coming from the top three global players—Oriflame, Procter & Gamble and Avon. According to Euromonitor International, they accounted for more than one-third of total beauty sales value in 2008. The only local producer, Urker Cosmetic, represent only 2% of total beauty sales, so the market remains divided between multinationals.

Oracle OpenWorld: Observations from the Floor
Though Oracle OpenWorld 2011 opened with a bang on Sunday night, and I, like many, enjoyed both the keynote and the metakeynote (aka, Twitterstream, see Intel's Pauline Vist's fantastic take on the keynote), Monday was when the conversations really started. High-level observations: wow, that's a lot of people, especially in line for coffee. Average Starbuck's wait time: 20 minutes. How this makes the average OOW attendee feel:
Post-caffeine drip, and with the day's sessions underway, there was a lot of buzz around Big Data, amplified by the relative silence of the Cloud. Nature of this show or trend? We shall see. Perhaps it's a post-Cloud world, on to the next thing?
In the Cisco booth, lots of interest in the Cius demo, with lively discussion around the distinctions between tablet solutions and the need for an enterprise-class tablet. The Cius demo highlights the simplicity of collaboration across devices (VXI!): virtual doesn't mean decreased performance.
Cisco's strong partnerships with our technology partners are on full display here at OOW11. Here's the UCS featured in the Intel booth (complete with fabulous Intel lighting):
Complete the Cloud Journey – Handing the Keys to the Users
Every year, the IT industry makes some bold claims about "This is the Year of < insert technology>". Buzz, hype, conferences, webinars and whitepapers ensue!! Sometimes they come true and sometimes they fall short of expectations. But once all the smoke clears, IT organizations tend to dust themselves off and ask, "So what actually works and what can I use TODAY?"
Amidst all the Cloud Computing technology hype that has been happening over the past couple years, Cisco's IT organization was faced with a very real (and very common) business challenge – how to deliver Better IT, Faster IT and More Flexible IT? All of those challenges were faced against the background of exponentially growing user-demands and almost no IT budget growth. Then throw in all those nagging side challenges of securing information, regulatory compliance, and facilities that were running out of space.
Do these problems sound familiar? We suspect that many IT organizations are reaching similar levels of stress from their business and are looking for answers.
If you're interested in learning how Cisco is solving this problem internally, we highly recommend that you attend this webinar, hosted by Cisco IT. Ken Schroeder (Data Center Architect) will explain how Cisco evolved from a fragmented IT organization to one that is now able to deliver greater empowerment and flexibility back to the business.

Intel and Cisco partner to offer servers platforms that are ideal to run Oracle applications -Part 2
Lot of people, lot of activities, lot of parties , lot of data, lot of announcements and lot of clouds ! – That's Oracle OpenWorld 2011 here in San Francisco ! We have been pretty busy today , with a great flow of visitors on our booth (#721) and a series of well attended theater presentations and speaking sessions.
Today , Amy [ who predicted last week the "chance of clouds " ] and I (no I don't sing ), met Intel General manager for Critical Servers , Pauline Nist, (@panist ) for a short interview on camera .
Yes again a blog about the great partnership with Intel ( Please Intel Sandhya Gorman interview in part I )!
I personally really like the lively comments of Pauline – Check out!
So two suggestions for your Tuesday schedule at Oracle OpenWorld
Others make promises. We deliver.
It is great when the chief sales guy feels pretty good about the innovation a company delivers enough to blog about it. It gets even better when customers feel good about the innovation and value that a company like Cisco brings, to get up in front of the camera and share the benefits they are deriving.
Such customer confidence comes from trust. In the case of Cisco, we have earned this trust over decades, providing our customers not just with the best networking technology but by providing the right support model, the lowest TCO and simply the best investment protection in the industry.
This has been borne out many times even as we've led numerous industry transitions – from enabling the ubiquity of Ethernet and IP; driving the voice, video and data inflection points, and the more recent trends around data center, virtualization and cloud.
Speaking of inflection points – over the past three years – we are leading perhaps the biggest networking transition in history, as we introduce the Nexus switching and NX-OS platforms into the data center and make it a foundational element for fabric-based infrastructure. In just over three years, we have over 19,000 NX-OS based customers with a sustained #1 market leadership across a variety of categories including revenue and port share. As the chart below depicts, we're nearly 3X the 10GbE revenue of all our competitors combined! The 10GbE port shipments are equally strong compared to the rest of the industry.
Needless to say, all this has made the job for our competition much harder; to keep up with Cisco's pace of innovation has not been an easy task.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) has, for the second time this month, subpoenaed Secretary of State John Kerry to testify about his department's actions relating to the September 2012 Benghazi terror attacks.
Kerry was previously slated to testify before the lawmakers on May 21. Issa lifted the subpoena requiring the diplomat's presence after the State Department promised that Kerry would testify voluntarily on an alternate date.
"The State Department has told the Committee that they are committed to finding an alternative date in the near future for Secretary Kerry to testify before the Oversight Committee," Frederick Hill, a spokesman for the panel, told The Associated Press. "As such, Chairman Issa agreed to lift the subpoena obligation for May 21."
Issa issued a new subpoena Thursday, accusing State officials of "slippery tactics" that made it impossible for lawmakers to get Kerry in front of the committee.
State Department officials had suggested that Kerry's diplomatic schedule was too hectic to appear before the lawmakers and even urged the oversight Committee to find a "more appropriate witness" on the matter.
"I lifted the subpoena requiring Secretary Kerry to testify on May 21 because the State Department made reasonable arguments for an accommodation and told our Committee they were seeking a suitable alternative date for his testimony on a voluntary basis. But soon after I lifted the subpoena, the State Department back tracked — stating publicly that we should accept 'a more appropriate witness' and refusing to commit to making Secretary Kerry available," Issa said in a statement.
He continued: "With this State Department's slippery tactics, it's no wonder our friends in the world are losing faith in us and our adversaries doubt our credibility. The State Department had discussed May 29 as a possible alternative date and that's when Secretary Kerry will be obligated to appear — further accommodation will not be possible. Absent an assertion of executive privilege, the State Department has a legal obligation to fully and completely comply."
Issa's effort to gather answers about the State Department's handling of the Benghazi attack has been ongoing for more than a year alongside several other House panels. Just this month, House Speaker John Boehner announced that all of the House efforts to investigate the attack would be consolidated into an investigation by Representative Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.).
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) claimed that Issa's latest subpoena illustrates that the Republican has no faith in the Select Committee set up this month and "calls into question the Republicans' stated purpose of the Select Committee on Benghazi."
Pelosi had earlier said that the Select Committee was part of a Republican effort to cover up an investigation by Issa that was going nowhere.
Fellow Democrat and ranking Oversight Committee member Elijah Cummings of Maryland expressed outrage at Issa's decision.
"Just one week after Speaker Boehner said he wanted a single select committee conducting this investigation, Chairman Issa issued a new subpoena today for Secretary Kerry to testify before the Oversight Committee. I don't know if this is Chairman Issa's attempt to reinsert himself into this investigation after the Speaker removed him, but this looks more and more like the 'sideshow' and 'circus' Speaker Boehner said he would not tolerate," Cummings said in a statement.
Meanwhile in the Senate, 37 Republican lawmakers called on Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to conduct a review of the Benghazi fiasco in the upper legislative chamber. The Senate Intelligence, Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees have all conducted inquiries into the attacks; but the GOP lawmakers argued that the focus of those investigations has been too narrow.
"Congressional oversight is crucial to understanding what happened before, during, and after the attacks, so we can be sure we do everything in our power to prevent future attacks," the lawmakers wrote.
The lawmakers said the investigation would serve to bridge "jurisdictional bounds."
Reid is not likely to act on the letter.

Amgen to pay shareholders another dividend
Amgen announced Thursday that its board of directors has declared a dividend of 36 cents per share for the third quarter of 2012.
The Thousand Oaks-based biotech giant will pay the dividend Sept. 7 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business Aug. 16.
This is the third dividend Amgen has paid since announcing its first in April 2011. In December, Amgen's board declared a dividend of 36 cents per share for the first quarter of 2012. The dividends were paid in March.
Amgen officials have said they planned to increase the dividend meaningfully over time.
In April, Amgen said revenue increased by 9 percent to $4 billion in the first quarter of 2012.
After adjustments, the company had a net income of $1.184 million from January to March, representing a 5 percent jump in profits compared with the same period last year. Adjusted earnings per share were $1.48, up from $1.20 a year ago.
The company's stock edged up 1 cent, or 0.02 percent, to close at $79.64 Thursday. The share price has risen steadily since Kevin Sharer announced his retirement as CEO on Dec. 15. That day, the stock closed at $58.
Sharer stepped down in May after more than a decade as CEO and was succeeded by Robert Bradway. Sharer will be chairman of the board until the end of this year.

By CHRISTINA LORDS
BOISE -- Sen. Jeff Siddoway may have been the happiest man in the Idaho House of Representatives chambers Monday as Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter rolled out a proposal for $2 million in startup funds for wolf population control in Idaho.
That's because controlling Idaho's wolf population doesn't hit quite as close to home for many legislators as it does for the longtime Terreton Republican and sheep rancher.
In August, Siddoway Sheep Co. herders said they came across a gruesome scene: a pile of 176 sheep killed in a wolf attack. It's the greatest one-time loss from wolves the company has ever had. Siddoway said he hopes the Wolf Control Fund will help prevent losses like that from happening to other Idaho livestock owners.
"Anything that reduces the wolf population is a good thing," Siddoway said. "I don't think there's a person in the state that could give you an accurate estimate about how many wolves we have. All we're hoping is that if we get a reduction in numbers, that our losses are ultimately going to be less."
Otter proposed the establishment of the fund along with a five-member state board to manage it during the governor's State of the State address. The money will go to further efforts to reduce the wolf population. It will not be used to reimburse ranchers for livestock killed by wolves.
"With your unflinching support," Otter told legislators, "we were able to fight through the opposition of those who would make Idaho into a restricted-use wildlife refuge and take back control of these predators from our federal landlords."
But wolf advocates, such as the Northern Idaho Wolf Alliance, publicly decried the proposal, citing concerns about the Idaho Department of Fish and Game's recent decision to hire a hunter to control wolf populations around the Middle Fork of the Salmon River.
Siddoway said the board will be co-chaired by Fish and Game's director and the director of the Idaho Department of Agriculture. The remaining membership will be appointed by Otter and will include a representative of Idaho sportsmen, a representative of livestock owners and a member at large. That at-large member will likely represent the interests of wolf advocates, Siddoway said.
Otter's budget recommendation calls for a one-time general fund allocation of $2 million to start the fund for fiscal year 2015, with annual contributions of $110,000 from members of the livestock industry and a match from Idaho sportsmen thereafter. Some of that funding will come from hunting licensing in the state, Siddoway said.
"This three-pronged approach will provide the revenue needed to more effectively control Idaho's burgeoning wolf population and ease the impact on our livestock and wildlife," Otter said.
Siddoway agreed.
"It'll allow more people to go out and actually do the hunting and trapping," he said. "It'll finance that. Some of the work may be done aerially either by fixed-wing (aircraft) or helicopter, depending on the terrain."
Idaho law stipulates that only agencies can kill wolves aerially, not members of the public.
According to Fish and Game, 192 wolves have been harvested so far during the 2013-14 season. During the 2011-12 season, 202 wolves were killed; and 270 were harvested during the 2010-11 season.
In 2012, the agency reported 122 confirmed depredation incidents, including 90 cows, 251 sheep and four dogs for a total of 345 animals killed by wolf attack.
Sharon Kiefer, Fish and Game's deputy director for programs and policy, said the pending legislation to establish the fund was overseen by representatives of the governor's office, Fish and Game and the Idaho Department of Agriculture.
She stressed the funding would go toward wolf depredation -- not toward compensation to ranchers who lose livestock to wolves.
"This has nothing to do with compensation; this has everything to do with depredation," Kiefer said.
Sen. Steve Bair, R-Blackfoot, said sportsmen and other constituents are as concerned about controlling wolves as ranchers.
"Hunting opportunities have just disappeared in some areas because of the depredation (and loss of) some of the elk," Bair said.

BIDDEFORD, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- There's a new doctor on duty in Biddeford, making house calls and getting patients up to speed, but all he asks in return for his services is a thank you.
Since 2005, the Community Bicycle Center has operated a drop-in bike repair shop in a space shared with the town's rec department on Hill Street. Hundreds of kids have called on the center, to fix-up their broken bikes, take groups rides and even earn new bikes, all for free.
"A lot of the kids that come in here, for whatever reasons, don't have or haven't had opportunities for caring adults to be involved in their lives or to go on a bike ride to see that that is the Atlantic Ocean, or how to problem solve like Bob is helping out right now," explained the CBC's founder, Andy Greif, gesturing towards a volunteer helping two boys get their bike back in working order.
"We're helping them learn how to make their bikes accessible to themselves," he added. "Bikes happen to be one of those first ways that kids can get out on their own and that sense of freedom."
To reach out to kids who can't make it to the center, the non-profit organization now makes house calls with their brand new, custom built Bike Doctor.
"It turns heads," stated Woodie Worthley, the man providing the pedal power and piloting the contraption through the city's streets. "A lot of people wave when we ride through town."
The Bike Doctor is a custom-built bike repair shop on wheels, and looks like a cross between a hotdog cart and a tandem bicycle. The behemoth contains all sorts of tools and equipment to allow the team to work on several bikes at a time.
"Last year, we just had the pilot program where we had a bike with a trailer on the back and we were going into the neighborhoods, but kids weren't coming out as much because it wasn't as visible," said Bronwyn Potthoff, the CBC's resource development and community relations director.
"It is the only one in the country that we know of that is a bike shop on wheels that is a program that is completely free for kids," she added.
While on the surface, the program seems to be about aiding kids' mobility and helping them stay active, the program is really about empowering kids, helping them to learn problem solving skills and mechanical skills. Jadyha Gardner is proof the message is spreading.
"I like, when I fix up a child's bike that is broken," he explained while working to fix a pesky chain issue. "I like how when I am done fixing it and it is ready to go, I like how there is a smile on their face and I like giving back to my community."
The Bike Doctor makes the rounds in Biddeford on Wednesday afternoons, but the CBC's drop-in repair shop is open Monday through Friday for kids needing a hand fixing their bike, or looking for a safe place to hang out.

Staff field report on visit to World Health Partners, new winner of the Skoll Award for Social EntrepreneurshipJanuary 7, 2013 by admin
By David Rothschild and Joy Zhang
Our team bounced along the dirt road in Samistipur district in rural Bihar, India, who knows how far from the nearest paved road, until we finally arrived at the beautiful and peaceful village of Akha. In rural Bihar you may be far from a paved road, but you are never far from people—the state is 2/3 the size of California, with three times the population. Almost all of Bihar's very few doctors live in cities, and the majority in the capital of Patna. Over 70 million people live in Bihar's villages, far from any city, and hence far from any doctor. Villagers typically only make the long arduous trip to a city to see a doctor in extreme cases. As expected, this lack of available doctors has led to unaccredited health practitioners filling the void, responding to the demand in almost every village. These rural health providers typically have some limited medical experience but no formal training.
We entered a small brick room with no embellishments, nestled among thatched roof and dirt walled houses and dung patties drying in the hot sun. Inside we met Hardener Sharma, the village health provider, a young man who had recently joined the World Health Partners network. Prior to joining the network his only training was having worked as an assistant to a doctor in a city a few hours away. He was excited to share how the World Health Partner network had improved the quality of care he provides. The room was small and spartan but clean, with a bed, a tiny wooden table and a few chairs. On the table was his "doctor" bag and a cell phone. An older woman with hardened features and a crying baby on her lap sat next to him with a worried expression. Hardener reassured her and called a number on his cellphone, and then hung up. Two minutes later his phone rang and a World Health Partner counselor, similar to a physician's assistant, took down details about the woman and her baby, and then put Hardener on hold. A minute later Hardener greeted a doctor on the other end, explained a few details, and then passed the phone to the woman who conversed with the doctor. Hardener then spoke briefly with the doctor again, and the woman seemed relieved, even gracing us with a heartfelt smile. A few minutes later a text arrived on Hardener's phone—a prescription from the doctor for medicines for the baby.
This exchange is at the heart of World Health Partners' model—improving the quality of care of rural health providers in rural Bihar. We witnessed many more exchanges, some of them using World Health Partners' telemedicine system whereby rural providers connect to doctors via videoconference and use medical devices connected to a computer that allow doctors to listen to a stethoscope, check pulse and blood pressure, and even perform ECGs. World Health Partners is soon rolling out a new telemedicine device that will work over cellphone networks without a broadband connection, allowing people like Hardener to provide accurate readings and vitals to the doctors he connects patients with.
The next person Hardener introduced us to was a woman in her twenties, quiet yet confident. She did not seem sick at all. She explained how she lived in a nearby village, and had come down with Tuberculosis. Weak and despondent after visiting two different "doctors" (informal village health providers) who could not cure her, she had decided to return to her parents' village to see Hardener. With the help of a doctor reached remotely by cellphone, she was referred to a clinic where she could be properly diagnosed for TB and given a prescription for treatment. Only qualified providers may administer the treatment, a training World Health Partners provides to all providers in its Bihar network. Hardener is now administering the complete DOTS treatment following standard protocol, with doses every few days recorded diligently on the government issued record sheet. Adhering to the treatment plan is important not only for the woman, but also so that the strain of TB does not develop resistance to the treatment. The woman is staying with her parents in the village throughout the treatment period even though she clearly is feeling much better and stronger since the treatment began. And because practitioners are part of the villages they serve and in close proximity to their patients, it is easier for patients to adhere to the stringent TB protocol which requires diligent administration of treatment by a certified provider every few days.
In addition to understanding more deeply the low standard of rural health care in most of Bihar's 40,000 plus villages, we also appreciated connecting with the World Health Partners staff and having long talks about how they are adjusting the model, monitoring, learning and fine-tuning it as they expand it throughout the state. Learning about rural health care through their lens was powerful and exhilarating.
By experiencing the remoteness of the villages in which World Health Partners operates and seeing the model in action, we gained a deeper understanding of the World Heath Partners model and how each piece of it works, and were able to ask more probing questions that shaped a significantly different understanding of the impact than we previously had understood. Telephone calls and written documents prepared us well, but nothing compares to seeing the model in person and talking to the actual providers. We leave with a truer, firsthand understanding of the innovation and impact, along with stronger relationships with the social entrepreneur and key staff.

Final Results of the Industrial Production of CMS Tracker Analog Optohybrids
Veröffentlicht am 12.09.2005 in 11th Workshop on Electronics for LHC and Future Experiments
Approximately 15,000 analog optical transmitter modules with two or three channels each will be installed in the CMS experiment to read out the Silicon Strip Tracker. These Analog Optohybrids were produced in Austrian and Italian industries from mid-2003 to autumn 2005.
After assembly, each unit was thoroughly tested for electrical and optical properties and all results were stored in the CMS Tracker database, which allows a wide range of analyses. We will discuss statistical distributions of important parameters and their impact on the system.
Among minor issues, three significant problems occurred during the industrial production. Those will be described together with the corrective actions taken and the lessons learned.

The Eyes of Lira Kazanby Eva Joly
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"Plot twists galore, relentless suspense and expert insights to satisfy anyone fascinated by today's financial crisis."—Culture TF1
From Lagos to London, by way of the Faroe Islands and St. Petersburg, an investigation turns deadly. The head of the Nigerian fraud squad is evacuated from Lagos by secret service operatives. Meanwhile a junior prosecutor in Nice probes the mysterious death of the wife of a powerful banker and a crusading journalist in St. Petersburg pursues a corrupt oligarch and his criminal business empire.
The paths of all three cross in London, where they find themselves embroiled in violent events obviously linked to financial and political interests and hunted by the oligarch's men, the Western secret services, and goons sent by Nigerian oil magnates.
A satirical, intelligent, and fast-paced thriller set in the world of high finance and low politics, The Eyes of Lira Kazan is co-written by Eva Joly and Judith Perrignon.
Eva Joly is a prominent former prosecuting judge in Paris, France, and a candidate in the 2012 French presidential election. She is Norwegian born and this is her first novel.
Judith Perrignon is a prize-winning essayist and the author of a number of historical and other literary works, including La nuit du Fouquet's avec Ariane Chemin. This is her second novel after the much lauded Les Chagrins, published in France in 2011.
"Joly, a French magistrate and politician, and Perrignon (Les Chagrins) deliver an intelligent page-turner with a solid moral heart. Nwankwo Ganbo, head of Nigeria's antifraud squad, flees to London, where he lands a teaching job, after powerful people in his oil-rich but impoverished country start killing his employees 'one by one,' including his right-hand man, and finally have him sacked. Ganbo, who has a reputation as a dogged opponent of graft, finds an ally in Lira Kazan, a journalist for the Russian magazine Mir who's been looking into the growing empire of Russian oligarch Sergei Louchsky. Kazan becomes the victim of a vicious acid attack that results in severe burns to her eyes. Corruption knows no national boundaries, the authors suggest, providing a clear-eyed look at the complex choices and personal sacrifices facing reformers. (Oct.)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
Russian oligarchs and Western secret services in pursuit of a beautiful journalist with too much information about their financial shenanigans.

Caesars Entertainment's Tunica Resorts will Award $1 Million to One Lucky Winner Every Saturday
Armored car to magically appear at FedEx Forum on March 29 to launch one of the richest casino promotions in history
Suggested Tweet – 1 Winner. $1Million. Every Saturday @HarrahsTunica @HorseshoeTunica @RoadhouseTunica #MillionaireMaker
MEMPHIS, Tennessee, March 15, 2013 – Caesars Entertainment today announced that as a part of its nationwide promotion, Millionaire Maker powered by Total Rewards, Tunica, Mississippi, will be the home for what could very well be one of the richest casino promotions in history. Each week* starting in April, one name will be drawn from entries at Harrah's, Horseshoe, and Tunica Roadhouse casinos in Tunica, Mississippi to win $1 million**.
The $1 million drawing will take place at 9 p.m. every Saturday. Guests may begin to earn entries and swipe to activate their entries for the first drawing beginning April 1st. Every Saturday beginning April 6th the announcement of the $1 million winner will be simulcast among Harrah's, Horseshoe, and Tunica Roadhouse casinos in Tunica, Mississippi. Each week, the chances of winning will be reset with the entries from that week becoming eligible for the Saturday drawing. The winner does not have to be present to win.
"Over the years our promotions seemed to keep getting more complicated, and frankly even confused some of us on occasion, so we decided to try something different. This promotion is as simple as it gets and we are proud that our Tunica casinos are the only Caesars Entertainment casinos in the world to be offering it. Our guests will swipe their Total Rewards cards once a week to be entered to win $1 million that same week. That is it – one winner, one million dollars, every Saturday." said R. Scott Barber, regional president, Caesars Mid-South.
To be eligible to win a specific week's $1 million prize, Total Rewards members must swipe their Total Rewards card at one of the Total Rewards Centers at Harrah's, Horseshoe, or Tunica Roadhouse casinos once that week between 4 a.m. Sunday and the following Saturday before 8:30 p.m. Guests may earn additional entries into the drawing by playing with their Total Rewards card at Harrah's Tunica, Horseshoe Tunica, or Tunica Roadhouse casinos.
On March 29, the company will create a once-in-a-lifetime event in the heart of downtown Memphis to launch the promotion. On the outdoor plaza area of FedExForum in Memphis, just prior to a Memphis Grizzlies basketball game, the internationally renowned magician acclaimed as the top touring illusionist in the world, Rob Lake, will make an armored truck appear out of thin air with thousands of witnesses in attendance.
"We will be making millionaires appear out of thin air every week in Tunica, so why not make a million dollars appear out of thin air, or at least the armored truck needed to carry it?" asks R. Scott Barber, regional president, Caesars Mid-South. "People watch this kind of event on television, but seldom do they ever get to witness something this extraordinary in person."
If you're looking to get lucky, a Caesars Entertainment resort is a sure bet. The company has created 703 millionaires since 1987; with those player winnings fast approaching the $2 billion mark, the company has announced Millionaire Maker powered by Total Rewards, a celebration of these guests' winnings and a promotion aimed at making even more millionaires.
*This promotion's conclusion is undetermined, but will end at a date to be determined. Please see Total Rewards Center for details.

Bret Michaels: I'd Give "Killer Advice" as Simon Cowel's Replacement
Bret Michaels can't get enough American Idol.
After his surprise performance of "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" on the May 26 finale, the rocker is hoping to snag Simon Cowell's seat at the judge's table.
PHOTOS: Inside the American Idol finale
"I feel there's one area I shine in, [and] it's giving musicians unbelievable advice. When you talk about being a judge, Simon did an amazing job. He cut to the chase with his brutal honesty," Michaels tells PopEater. "Mine would be less brutal and with more advice along with the judging...I would love to do it and I could give killer advice."
VIDEO: Watch Bret Michaels perform with Casey James on American Idol
The 47-year-old reality star -- who almost died after suffering a "warning stroke" and a brain hemorrhage in April -- already has the support of his fans. Sixty-seven percent of UsMagazine.com readers voted in favor of Michaels joining Randy Jackson, Kara DioGuardi and Ellen DeGeneres.
And despite doctors warning him not to perform on the Idol finale, Michaels insisted on hitting the stage.
PHOTOS: Revisit Bret Michaels' rock 'n' roll past
"To be honest, there's still obviously a lot of pain that I'm experiencing," he told Us. "I'm running about 75 percent realistically, physically, but in my soul and my heart, I feel great."

Boy, woman die in Lakeland house fire
LAKELAND, Fla. - In front of the burned-out home on Tradewinds Avenue, a quiet prayer from the Southeastern University softball team. They jogged up to the house and got in a circle. One by one, they offered a few words for the family that lived there.
Neighbors saw what was happening, and quickly joined in the circle.
Mark Mershon lives across the street and broke down this morning, wishing he could have done more.
"I tried hard. That's all I could do," said Mershon. Mershon and others pushed past a fence and helped pull out some of the six family members that lived in the home.
A husband, and wife two of their children made it out.
But Mershson couldn't save everyone. "I tried to go back for the other two. It was just too hot. Too smoky."
The other two, according to family members, were 65-year-old Conne Lehning Tamrit, who owned the house, and her 8-year-old grandson.
Both were killed.
Neighbor Tammy Needs said fire took over the house in minutes. "You could hear people screaming."
She said all she could think about were those children. "I said a prayer for them which should tonight for that family."
The Lakeland Fire Department says the fire started in the carport area, but they are still investigating the exact cause.
"The whole house was engulfed. I just couldn't get closer. I couldn't get closer," said Mershon.
A family member says the two surviving kids, two boys ages four and six are staying with relatives. Their mother was injured and hospitalized.
The Red Cross was contacting to help this family that lost everything, including two of their loved ones.

Killing elephants may be the newest source of revenue for Joseph Kony, leader of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA).
Several recent escapees from the LRA, the brutal rebel outfit that circulates in central Africa killing villagers and enslaving children, said that Kony had ordered his fighters to kill as many elephants as possible and send him the tusks.
From The New York Times:
"Kony wants ivory," said a young woman who was kidnapped earlier this year near Garamba and did not want to be identified because she was still terrified. "I heard the other rebels say it many times: 'We need to get ivory and send it to Kony.' "
She said that in her four months in captivity, before she ran away one night when the rebels got drunk, she saw them kill 10 elephants, wrap the tusks in cloth sacks and send them to Mr. Kony at his hiding place.
Other recent escapees said that the group had killed at least 29 elephants since May, buying guns, ammunition and radios with the proceeds.
If this information is accurate, Joseph Kony has become part of the poaching frenzy that is going on in Africa now.
Highest recorded levels ever
The continent is in the midst of an epic elephant slaughter. Last year, poaching levels in Africa were at their highest since international monitors began keeping detailed records in 2002. And 2011 broke the record for the amount of illegal ivory seized worldwide, at 38.8 tons. As a result, conservation groups say poachers are wiping out tens of thousands of elephants a year, more than at any time in the previous two decades, with the underground ivory trade becoming increasingly militarized.
It's not just outlaws like Kony who are involved. According to the New York Times, members of some of the African armies that the American government trains and supports with millions of taxpayer dollars — like the Ugandan military, the Congolese Army and newly independent South Sudan's military — have also been implicated in poaching elephants and dealing in ivory.
The vast majority of the illegal ivory is flowing to China, and though the Chinese have coveted ivory for centuries, never before have so many of them been able to afford it. Last year, more than 150 Chinese citizens were arrested across Africa, from Kenya to Nigeria, for smuggling ivory. And there is growing evidence that poaching increases in elephant-rich areas where Chinese construction workers are building roads.
A landmark 1989 decision banned the international trade in elephant products. But now elephants are being killed again, ivory is on the move and some elephant populations are in free-fall decline once more. Conservationists say the mass kill-offs taking place across Africa may be as bad as — or worse than — those in the 1980s, when poachers killed more than half of Africa's elephants before the international ban on the commercial ivory trade was put in place.
Elephants facing extinction?
Some scientists believe that if the poaching and trade are not brought under control most populations of elephants could face extinction by 2020.
Now there's a proposal to legalize the ivory trade again as a way to combat the increase of poaching of the African elephant. If you think this is a terrible idea, please sign our petition to CITES (Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species) to keep the ban on ivory and to invest more in fighting the illegal poaching.

all for the dollar, lack of integrity and ignorance, is not medication and now a day we can even make diamond of any color, shape or value. why the necessity of destroy instead of create? I wonder
who on earth would vote for the sale of ivory to be legal?? its cruel, misguided and downright disgusting. the people who hunt animals for their bodyparts should face the death penalty!
some people in African countries eat elephants.
we need to stop them right?
already signed but thanks for sharing :)
Noted- thank you
They should get the militaries involved.. the punishment for this should be death, on the spot..and that includes the disgusting Chinese involved in these crimes.
This is just terrible how can they do this us Humans are responsible for Mammoths being wiped out, Must Elephants suffer too, no body needs ivory only sick rich people who have more money than sense!
Without all the machines and weapons I think no one would have the idea to kill animals.
And if everyone on the whole world would stick to the fifth bid of god, where it says "thou shalt not kill" also no pets and plants,then we would live in paradise.

This Black Bean Coconut Soup is wonderful, you guys.
I first discovered this recipe on Vegan Yum Yum back in… 2008? 2009? I made it once and fell in love, then I made it like 17 more times over the next two months.
Then I never made it again.
Well, for a long time, anyway. When I finally got around to making it again last week, I sure was kicking myself in the pants for waiting so long! This soup is amazing, it's rich (but not too rich!) and thick and kind of creamy. Best of all, it's simple to make and uses ingredients you already have in your pantry and freezer!
It's basically beans, corn, coconut milk (the culinary kind), some diced tomatoes and smoked paprika! I wasn't sure how coconut milk would taste mixed with black beans, but it's perfection. Perfection in a bowl!
It takes just a few minutes to throw everything into a pan and then let it simmer on the stove while you wrangle kids/dogs/dirty laundry. It's pretty much the perfect weeknight meal for when you don't feel like cooking! Plus it's delicious and healthy. And it doesn't have any "weird" ingredients, so it'll please even the pickiest eaters.
MAKE IT! You wont be disappointed.
Tell me: Do you have any recipes that you just LOVED, then stopped making and forgot about?

Heartburn/GERD Health Center
Complications of Untreated Heartburn and GERD
In this article
If it's not controlled, acid reflux or GERD can result in serious problems, including esophagitis, esophageal bleeding and ulcers, Barrett's esophagus, strictures, and an increased risk of esophageal cancer.
What Is Esophagitis?
Too much stomach acid backwash in the esophagus can cause a painful and irritating inflammation of the esophagus called esophagitis. It occurs when stomach acid repeatedly comes into contact with the lining of the esophagus. Esophagitis may lead to esophageal bleeding or ulcers and scarring.
What Is Barrett's Esophagus?
Barrett's esophagus is a serious condition that develops in some people who have chronic GERD. Most people with GERD, however, do not develop Barrett's esophagus. GERD is a major risk factor, but people without GERD may develop Barrett's esophagus.
In Barrett's esophagus, damage to the lining of the esophagus -- for example, by acid reflux from GERD -- can cause abnormal changes in the cells that line the esophagus. The normal cells that line the esophagus are damaged and replaced by a type of cell not usually found in the esophagus. People with Barrett's esophagus may be at risk of developing cancer of the esophagus, but most people with Barrett's esophagus do not develop cancer of the esophagus.
What Are the Symptoms of Barrett's Esophagus?
Symptoms may be similar to those of GERD, although some people have no symptoms at all.
How Is Barrett's Esophagus Diagnosed?
Barrett's esophagus is diagnosed with a test called an upper endoscopy to look at the inside of the esophagus and obtain a biopsy to examine a sample of tissue.
How Is Barrett's Esophagus Treated?
The goal of treatment is to prevent further damage to the esophagus due to acid coming up from the stomach. Proton-pump inhibitor medications like rabeprazole (Aciphex), esomeprazole (Nexium), lansoprazole (Prevacid), omeprazole (Prilosec), pantoprazole (Protonix), dexlansoprazole (Dexilant) and omeprazole/ sodium bicarbonate (Zegerid) are the mainstay of treatment. These drugs reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach. If these medications do not work, surgery to tighten the sphincter or "valve" between the esophagus and stomach may be necessary.
Doctors may remove or use laser therapy to destroy abnormal tissue. These procedures are usually reserved for those patients at high risk of developing esophageal cancer.

Jade pendants in the form of stags
China, Western Zhou period, around 950 BC
These two animals are very similar; their only significant difference is that one has a closed loop attached to an antler, while the other has antlers that curve sharply to create holes for suspension.
Deer are relatively rare among jade animal pendants. However, a number of examples exist, among the most interesting of which is a crouching deer from a tomb dating to the Shang dynasty (about 1500-1050 BC). Its head is turned to look over its back and its front leg is bent under its body. This form seems to be an early one that was later ignored as creatures were usually shown standing. Such sophisticated poses were probably developed on the borders of China. Contact between the capitals of metropolitan China and the peoples on the western and north-western borders encouraged trade and exchange between two quite different cultures.

Antiques from former Lehman Brothers president set for October auction
NEW YORK — Former Lehman Brothers President Joseph Gregory, who often commuted by helicopter to work before his bank went bust, is auctioning off a collection of centuries-old furniture and artwork from his Long Island mansion which sold in June.
Auction house Sotheby's said recently that "important English furniture from some of the most notable cabinet makers, along with European porcelain and decorations" would be auctioned next month in a sale devoted to the collection of Gregory and his wife, Niki.
Among the items listed for auction are two commodes — chests of drawers — made in the 1700s, estimated to be worth as much as $120,000 and $400,000, and a painting by the Dutch artist Bartholomeus Assteyn titled "A Still Life of Grapes, Cherries, Peaches and Other Fruit in a Basket, with a Rose and a Dragonfly on a Stone Ledge," listed for $60,000 to $80,000.
Before Lehman collapsed five years ago, Gregory boasted he had a personal spending budget of more than $15 million a year, Vicky Ward wrote in "The Devil's Casino: Friendship, Betrayal, and the High Stakes Games Played Inside Lehman Brothers," a book about how key personalities in the firm led it to ruin.
Joe often flew from Long Island to his midtown Manhattan office in a seaplane or helicopter. And Niki, who had a taste for expensive shoes, took trips to Los Angeles to go shopping, according to author Ward.
In 2009, Joseph Gregory filed a $233 million claim against Lehman's estate to recover deferred stock compensation, which is still outstanding.
The auction follows the sale of the Gregorys' home in Lloyd Harbor, New York, which was listed in July 2012 with an asking price of $22 million, Sotheby's said. Details of the sale were not immediately available from the auction house.
But real estate website Redfin.com shows that the house sold in June for $17.5 million.
"After many wonderful years designing, decorating and collecting for the house, the Gregorys are moving to a new chapter of their lives, with new projects and a focus on their own charitable organization," Sothebys said in its catalog.
Their furnishings and artwork will be on display in the Sotheby's York Avenue galleries beginning on Oct. 18, and the auction will take place on Oct. 24.
Items for sale include a desk-and-bookcase, a breakfront bookcase and a pair of George III pier tables, all made in the 1700s by English furniture makers, along with European porcelain and decorations. The Gregorys will sell artwork in their collection by Robert Leopold Leprince and John Glover, which will be auctioned as part of Sotheby's Old Masters week.
Gregory, who was also chief operating officer of Lehman and long worked alongside Chief Executive Richard "Dick" Fuld, was let go in June 2008 along with Chief Financial Officer Erin Callan. He had worked at Lehman for more than three decades. The bank's failure in September 2008 was a major factor in precipitating the global financial crisis.

|The Game Story:
|Hanover, N.H. � Dartmouth and Holy Cross have met 26 times before and the Big Green has immerged victorious every time. Today was no different. In the 27th meeting between the two, 23 goals were scored, 14 different players scored, 12 players had assists, Crusader Chris Smirti scored eight goals, Ari Sussman (New Haven, Conn.) and Jonathan Livadas (Wilmington, Del.) each had four for Dartmouth as the Big Green won, 21-12. The last time Dartmouth scored 20 goals was a 20-7 win over Quinnipiac on March 4, 2003. The Big Green went on to win the Ivy championship that year and played in the NCAA tournament, falling to Syracuse.
Brian Koch (Rye, N.Y.) had two goals and two assists this afternoon to extend his scoring streak to 24 games, dating back to May 2, 2006. The win brings the Big Green�s record to 4-3 overall, dropping Holy Cross to 3-5.
Sophomore Robby Pride (Denver, Colo.), who played for the Big Green basketball team this winter, opened the scoring at 12:39 of the first with his first collegiate goal. At 10:50, Sussman fired a shot on goal, which bounced off the crossbar right into the waiting stick of Phillip Killian who fired it home to make it 2-0 Dartmouth. Holy Cross responded with three unanswered tallies to take the lead 3-2. The two teams traded goals until a Jimmy Mullen (Mt. Lebanon, Pa.) score put the Green on top to stay at 6-5. Dartmouth took charge with four straight goals to end the half, 11-6.
The Big Green continued its momentum into the second half, scoring four of the first five goals. Sussman had two unassisted goals to begin the third period. Holy Cross stemmed the tide momentarily, scoring two unanswered to get to 15-9 at the end of three quarters.
In the fourth quarter, Dartmouth went on scoring streaks of two and four goals respectively. Koch scored both of his goals; Freshman Rhett Miller (Dallas, Texas) scored his second career goal. Benji Spanier capitalized on an Edison Parzanese turnover, running the length of the field and scoring his second collegiate goal to put the Green up 19-10. Josh Gillam (Peterborough, Ont.) and Killian had the final two tallies for Dartmouth. Chris Smirti scored his eight goal of the afternoon with nine seconds on the clock for the final score.
Turnovers were about even for both teams, Holy Cross had 19 to Dartmouth�s 18. The Big Green had the edge in shots with 44-29 and groundballs, 40-31. Michael Novosel (Somers, N.Y.) got the win for Dartmouth, stopping seven shots. Pat Marshall (Lutherville, Md.) came on in relief and had three saves.
The Big Green now heads to New York to take on No. 2 Duke at Mitchel Field in an Autism Awareness fundraiser on Saturday, March 29. Gametime is set for 4:00pm.

Karl Robinson-Bray
Early in his 20 year painting career, Karl, who is entirely self taught, hit on a familiar monochromatic style of portraiture, which although characteristic and stylised, became a form of a trademark for him.
Throughout Karl's life, his journeys led him to France, where amidst the vineyards, lavender fields and olive groves, his work was to change in it's very nature, there using full light and colour he was to realise a need to present feelings in an expression of personal reaction to the experience.
Having become attracted to the character of buildings and stonework he made a transition from portraiture in an attempt to capture nature, utilising a subtle treatment of light thus conveying an atmosphere of solitary tranquillity.
In early 2011, Karl relocated to Snowdonia in Wales, aspiring to paint the area having spent several years walking there absorbing the mountains and moreover the remnants of it's industrial past.
