My most recent piece covers the air quality crisis affecting the developing world's major cities. India, where I spent much of the summer, is home to many of the worst offenders, and Delhi is the most polluted city of all. I have been visiting Delhi regularly for the past decade, and the change is visible. Many a rickshaw journey consists of wondering exactly how the driver knows to break before crashing into a car in front of him, when neither he nor I can see the road in front of us. The situation in African cities is not as bad, but Nairobi, where I spent the fall, is getting there. Yet despite traveling regularly in the developing world, often in the company of asthma sufferers in my family and household, statistics saying pollution kills more people than HIV and malaria combined, still shock.
We are making progress, and huge credit is owed here to my mother, the incredible Shazia Z. Rafi, who campaigned successfully to get air quality targets included in the new Sustainable Development Goals. This should put pressure on governments, but it is not just a government problem. Urban air pollution in the developing world is a direct product of economic growth, of the fuel consumed both by industrial operations and the transport workers use to reach those new factories. Businesses who are driving this wave of industrialized urbanization bear some responsibility here. My piece, which you can read here, lays out some steps companies can take to clean up their act.
Back to the thesis now, I swear…]]>
1. Organizations that aim at material change – new laws, money moved from point A to point B.
2. Organizations that aim at ideological change – persuading others that their ideas are wrong, changing hearts and minds.
3. Organizations that aim at personal expression – large protests bearing witness to injustice or support groups validating the experiences of oppressed groups.
All social movements need all of these modes of activism. But, Sethi argued, the organizations that make up these movements (usually) only succeed if they pick one to focus on.
I've been thinking about this a lot in recent weeks, as squabbles over feminism and anti-racism have erupted on my social feeds.
The students featured in the Yale fracas, like those UK activists who have taken to no-platforming offensive visiting speakers, clearly believe that social change is achieved by the creation of safe spaces. That is Mode 3. Most of their 'free speech' advocate critics believe social change happens through debate and persuasion. That's Mode 2. They are speaking past each other.
Similarly, I once attended a feminist conference organized by people I like at a university I respect. In their desire to be inclusive of the breadth of the feminist movement, all three kinds of activists were there. It was a mess.
See, in a Mode 1 session on workplace discrimination, you might show a chart with some aggregate statistics, recount some academic studies, and have a discussion about causes and possible policy remedies. A person who shared a personal anecdote about their creepy boss would be derailing that discussion rather than helping it advance. By contrast, in a Mode 3 session on the *same* topic, it's the speaker with the chart who would be derailing the catharsis sought by everyone else in the room sharing personal experience. What happens in either case is the derailer gets called out for being a traitor to the overall movement (in this case feminism, but substitute your cause of choice), instead of recognized as practicing a different mode of activism.
I don't think any amount of mutual respect can bridge these gaps between norms of discourse,or make them work together in some grand progressive kumbaya. They set out to achieve different forms of change, and three people walking in different directions with their arms linked will move precisely nowhere. The desire to include all of the people all of the time just means we get nothing done, no matter which form of 'getting things done' you prefer.
Instead, I found myself at this mixed conference sitting through frustrating sessions on gender and economics wishing the conference had been more narrowly focused, or divided into three days, so activists of each bent could have found their kind, and all gotten something out of it. People who like multiple modes could have gone all three days (personally, I work well in Modes 1 and 2, not so much 3) but maybe it's better not to try them all at the same time.
As an example of how this can work better, take Black Lives Matter. On the one hand is a large protest movement on the street, bearing witness to injustice and being witnessed, having that injustice acknowledged in a community of peers and supporters. This seems pretty obviously Mode 3 and it is powerful. On the other hand, there are a small group of BLM activists meeting with 2016 presidential candidates to go over their platforms and suggest improvements on criminal justice. It is also extremely powerful, and appears to be impacting candidates' policies. This is Mode 1.
What is great about it, though, is that I don't see anyone in the street protests saying DeRay Mckesson isn't a 'real' BLM leader because he talked to Hillary Clinton, or confined his discussion to a small set of defined policy points within the wider brief of issues BLM has raised. I don't see him saying protesters who wouldn't go near her with a 10-foot pole aren't real activists either. The pressure of public protests undoubtedly helped get the small group access to presidential candidates, but I also don't see the candidates holding the small group answerable for the actions or views of every protester. This is what an alliance should look like.
So while many left-leaning commentators are bemoaning the divisions tearing apart social justice activism, I find myself saying, let's institutionalize them. Create spaces in your movement, at your campus, that say 'Here we do catharsis' and others that say 'here we do debate' and still others that say 'here we do wonkery.' When you're organizing an activist group or meeting space, be very clear about which mode you want it to run in. Don't accuse anyone of being on the 'wrong' side because they prefer one kind of activism over the others, because they went to the support group pizza party instead of your debating society ice cream social. When it's useful, make strategic alliances to work together on individual campaigns without imagining you must agree on everything to do so.
United we aren't, but divided we can change the world.]]>
I've been writing a regular monthly column for the website SciDev.net (who cover the intersection of science, technology and development) on the role of the private sector in development. I've covered:
Fairtrade and other attempts at ethical consumption will probably not work, even if they make us feel better about ourselves
Automation imperils employment in the developing world. Anthropologist James Ferguson's has bold (but ultimately unworkable) vision for a society without jobs.
India's new 'Corporate Social Responsibility' law mandating firms donate to social projects is really an inefficient tax on corporate revenue, and a step backwards.
The best way to empower women in business might not be the C-suite, but the supply chain: hire women-owned businesses to source your parts or supply consulting services.
India exploits a loophole in international trade law to sell cheap drugs to sub-Saharan Africa. If they change their policies under US pressure, poor Africans will suffer.
In a world of finite resources, one-shop oil, gas and mining towns are planning for the day when the goods run out. Companies should help.
I've also blogged a little bit for the blog of my department's policy journal, which I briefly edited last year. Recent pieces include:
How the Iranian government charmed the Western press, and thereby saved the peace process.
Foreign correspondents lie, or how news organizations conceal the work of local fixers they employ in conflict zones.
What is capital, and how did capitalism survive the financial crisis? An interview with economist Geoffrey Hodgson.
I'll try to remember to cross-post all future blogging here going forward, and maybe even find time to write some original pieces for this site again soon*.
Finally, I've been interviewed about my research over on BBC Radio 3. It's a special episode on Indian history, so I'm talking about the East India Company, who are one of several key historical predecessors for the kind of contemporary corporate politics I'm researching for my PhD.
*Don't hold your breath.]]>
What concerns me is the idea that the only 'right' response to the attack is to re-circulate the paper's cartoons. Jon Chait and Ross Douthat have argued that the right of free expression is meaningful specifically because it protects expression that some find objectionable. And we have to promote that objectionable speech, to show that we're still protecting it, or the terrorists win.
But the reason liberal societies protect free expression, including offensive speech, is the belief that there's a market for ideas. And that bad ideas, if they circulate freely, will lose out: people won't buy those magazines, or watch those TV shows, or download those songs, and the ideas will disappear.
A central component of that ideal is that we have to be as free to not consume or circulate speech as we are to make it in the first place. Insisting that everyone who believes in free expression share a Charlie Hebdo cover or they'll be an apologist for terror is entirely out of spirit with what free expression means. It is thought policing, which is as fundamentally illiberal when it appears in the pages of New York Magazine as when it comes from the mouths of clerics.
The best response to the attacks is to actively have these debates – about whether the cartoons were good satire or bad satire and why, about how terrorism comes about and what to do about it, about identity in modern Europe – not silence them all as somehow demeaning the dead, because debate is how free societies work out what they believe. If we don't have debate anymore, we've got nothing.]]>
My research, in its current vaguely defined state, looks at the way multinational corporations function as governing authorities when their business operations take them to places where the writ of the local state is weak.
I'm especially interested in the way corporate land acquisition – a prerequisite of doing business in resource-heavy industries like oil & gas, mining or agribusiness – shapes the political relations between firms and local communities, placing firms in a position of territorial authority with control over many elements of basic infrastructure that would otherwise be the purview of the state. I'm also interested in the way land use laws in many developing countries reflect colonial legacies, and through this, the structural parallels and differences between the company towns of the late 20th and early 21st centuries and the colonial corporate fiefdoms of the 18th and 19th centuries.
(Aside: One Day I am going to write an essay entitled, "The British Raj was the First Corporate Bailout.")
This project grew directly out of my time as a reporter, writing about Chinese mining companies on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border and Scandinavian agribusinesses in East Africa. Sometime last year, I decided that this was a topic I needed to pursue in more depth than journalism allows for. Around the same time, I discovered that some of my 'news' articles were veering off into academic territory, and thought, "Hmm, maybe that's not a bad thing. In fact, I think that's actually where I want to be."
I've begun by reaching out to sources – activists, corporate strategists, and lawyers who have worked on land use cases – building a rough list of potential cases which I'll start exploring this year, hoping to combine land and legal records, correspondence, interviews where possible and some data collection on local social and economic development. Because I'm tracking change over time, I'm looking for resource-industry companies with long histories in a particular area and a willingness to let a young researcher inside their archives. Geographically, I'm confining my search to sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, both for linguistic reasons and because it's where I have prior experience looking at these issues.
Methodologically, I'm aware that everything about this is a bit unorthodox. The analysis I do once I have my data and documents is going to be academic, but because so much of this material isn't in the public domain yet, much of my initial research is going to rely on my journalistic skills. I'm also planning to put as much of my material online as I can, and to build some interactive historical maps of corporate land holdings in the regions I wind up studying.
There has been much chatter about social science research methods since the dustup over NSF funding in the spring – whether political science is too quantitative, not quantitative enough, whether scholars can or should engage in matters of public policy. My small contribution to that debate is to try to do some research that is empirical but not primarily quantitative, policy-relevant while still being theoretically valuable, and critically, as open and transparent as possible.
For the next four years, I'll be living in Cambridge, but I'm planning to be in London frequently, where I'll be continuing to oversee my nonprofit Public Business from our U.K. office. I'll also be writing occasionally, primarily on topics related to my research, and blogging here when I can. But for now, my main hat is going to be an academic one.
Wish me luck!]]>
The detention took place under the UK's Terrorism Act, which is badly written enough to provide cover for behavior that has naught to do with preventing acts of terror. In this case, the detention is a reaction to the Guardian's reporting on the NSA leaks, and any detention that treats journalism as a crime is wrong. This comes on the heels of Whitehall threatening the Guardian, and sending GCHQ representatives to the Guardian newsroom to oversee the destruction of some hard drives. That too is wrong.
None of what follows is a defense of the UK's thuggish behavior.
But there is something disturbing about the way the Guardian has presented its relationship with Miranda.
Miranda is the partner of Glenn Greenwald, the Guardian journalist spearheading the NSA reporting, and they live in Rio. Miranda was passing through Heathrow on his way back to Rio from Berlin, where he had been staying with filmmaker Laura Poitras, who has been collaborating with Greenwald on the reporting.
When the story first broke, it appeared that Miranda had been traveling in a personal capacity. We now know that Miranda was traveling on a trip funded by the Guardian and was carrying some flash drives pertaining to the reporting. We also know, from a previous account of the dealings with Snowden, that Greenwald has been sharing details of his work with Miranda for some time. And we learn from Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger that Miranda often helps Greenwald with his work.
The Guardian initially concealed these details. The New York Times broke the news about the flash drives and the plane ticket, at which point the Guardian updated its own story to include this information. But even then, Greenwald told the New York Times that Miranda, "is not even a journalist," a claim repeated by Alan Rusbridger.
But David Miranda is a journalist, because he is committing acts of journalism while he is in the Guardian's employ. His role as described above is similar to the temporary staffers western news organizations routinely hire in developing countries. Local journalists who do the background reporting for pieces with American or British bylines. Fixers who make calls and arrange meetings with difficult sources. Drivers and receptionists who make and take deliveries that contain sensitive material.
It is an ongoing struggle inside news organizations to argue that so long as these people are involved in the production of news, they are in danger of persecution by governments in countries where there is no press freedom, and that they deserve the same protections that major international news organizations afford to their full-time staffers. When Rusbridger enumerates a set of duties any fixer would recognize, and then says, "he's not a journalist," he is hurting the cause of people who work in far more dangerous places than London, New York or Rio.
Moreover, if those debating the incident decide it doesn't matter whether Miranda is a journalist, they endanger thousands around the world who have the (mis)fortune to be related to reporters. Many governments would love to round up the families and friends of journalists and interrogate them about their loved ones. Many reporters live in fear that this will happen. They guard against it by keeping their work secret from family and friends and making sure the authorities never think otherwise.
The UK's actions have set a terrifying example for other governments that family members are fair game, but if those challenging Britain's actions are not absolutely clear that Miranda is a journalist, not just a journalist's partner, it will make that example worse.
I understand that for the purposes of evaluating whether the UK acted wrongly Miranda's role is not the key fact. Either way, the detention was an attempt to suppress the story, and either way, detentions of anyone for a non-terror issue under a terrorism law are wrong.
Yet events do not take place in a vacuum, and while British and American journalists may be evaluating this incident with respect to press freedom in our countries, others around the world will be applying its lessons in their own political context.
Journalism is beset from all sides. Journalists in the places where, relatively speaking, things are not as bad as they could be need to make choices and use language sensitive to the interests of our colleagues in far more precarious positions. David Miranda is a journalist, as are many others, and we should protect them all.]]>
In the meantime, I've been looking at issues that will color the upcoming election and I'm particularly intrigued by the government's record on women's issues.
Pakistan is a patriarchal society and that is reflected in its politics. Although women have had the right to vote since independence, female voter turnout has historically been low. That may be about to change.
The Express Tribune reports that the government has, over its five-year run, increased female voter registration by 88%, and the nearly 40 million female voters account for 44% of voter registration over all.
That's due in large part to a popular cash-transfer program for poor women, the Benazir Income Support Program or BISP, introduced in 2008. The program has been immensely popular, and compared to other areas of Pakistani bureaucracy, relatively corruption-free. Indeed, the Asian Development Bank recently announced a $200 million loan to help BISP to expand its work.
Its economic impact, however, is far less certain. A project manager for BISP tells me most of the recipients are spending their cash on food and other necessities. It's not enough money for women to save and invest in education, health care or ventures that might actually lift them out of poverty for good. And with high inflation (Pakistan's CPI is up 80% since 2008), the cash is of limited value.
A more important benefit of the program is political. In order to receive cash payments, women were required to register for national ID cards, and thereby for the electoral rolls. If those 40 million women exercise their new voting power in May, they may break heavily for the government that has been transferring them cash, a possibility not fully taken into account by polls that focus on registered voters from the previous cycle.
Women are likely to thank the government also for its legislative record. In its five year term, the National Assembly passed acts against acid attacks, workplace harassment and sexual harassment in public places; banned forced marriages and the withholding of women's property rights; created a government commission on girls' and women's rights; and elected its first female speaker.
And yet, as the security situation in the country has worsened, women's rights have been eroded on the ground. From the shooting of Malala Yousafzai last fall to the murder of a Karachi social worker earlier this month, militant groups have disproportionately targeted women and girls. Meanwhile, seeking to pacify these extremists, local government agencies have outsourced critical public services to religious charities with anti-woman views.
The People's Party's inability to curtail the violence is a huge failure in its own right, but it has also served to undermine the effects of some of the government's best policies.]]>
Pakistan's constitution provides for a caretaker government – whose composition must be agreed upon by both government and opposition parties – to govern from the moment the outgoing team steps down until elections can be held. This government's term officially expires tomorrow, March 16th, and elections are expected to take place in early May.
Yet with 24 hours left, the composition of the caretaker government remains something of a mystery. The leading opposition party, PML-N, put forward its list of nominees last week, but government leaders dismissed those names. The government's own list of recommendations is out today and backchannel discussions are underway to find a solution by tomorrow. The Express Tribune has published a useful set of bios of the contenders.
Meanwhile, both of the major parties have unveiled their electoral manifestos.
The governing People's Party manifesto focuses on making populist promises to the country's poor: expanding a cash-transfer program for poor women, raising the minimum wage and promising to keep energy prices low. There is an interesting section on addressing Pakistan's youth bulge and youth unemployment, proposing a scheme by which young people would be provided with training and work experience opportunities with the goal of enabling them to find formal work or start their own businesses. "A large proportion of the jobs created will be in the social sector (elementary education, basic health care) and will form part of the Party's programme for the expansion of social services," says the manifesto. It's a nice idea, like David Cameron's workfare program crossed with Americorps, but it's exactly the kind of structural change that the PPP has failed at implementing over its five year term, so color me skeptical.
It's not just the security situation, which has gotten steadily worse over the government's run, or the cloud of corruption and incompetence that hangs over day-t0-day administration. The country's economy is in dire straits. The latest Worldwide Threat Assessment from the U.S. Director of National Intelligence is damning in its section on Pakistan:
Pakistan, with its small tax base, poor system of tax collection, and reliance on foreign aid, faces no real prospects for sustainable economic growth. The government has been unwilling to address economic problems that continue to constrain economic growth. The government has made no real effort to persuade its disparate coalition members to accept much-needed policy and tax reforms, because members are focused on retaining their seats in upcoming elections. Sustained remittances from overseas Pakistanis (roughly $13 billion from July 2011 to June 2012, according to Pakistan's central bank) have helped to slow the loss of reserves. However, Pakistan has to repay the IMF $1.7 billion for the rest of this fiscal year for money borrowed as part of its 2008 bailout agreement; growth was around 3.5 percent in 2012; and foreign direct investment and domestic investment have both declined substantially.
Indeed, the government's record has been so dismal that many Pakistan watchers thought it unlikely the PPP would survive a five-year term at all.
Many parties helped get the government this far, but particular credit goes to both the army chief General Kayani, and the opposition leader, Nawaz Sharif, who could have rocked the boat by pushing for military takeover or early elections during the government's vulnerable moments. In the case of Sharif, that's an entirely pragmatic choice. He surmised, as I wrote 4 years ago, that the government's poor performance combined with the collapse of Pervez Musharraf's party (PML-Q) following his fall, would make him the frontrunner in any elections. So he chose to wait it out in Punjab province, which his party controls, and exploit the contrast between the PML-N's record in Punjab and the national party's floundering. I'll be looking at that record in detail while I'm here.
But that's not enough to ensure that Sharif has a third shot at the Prime Minister-ship (a post he held twice in the 1990's): current polling suggests a hung parliament and negotiations to bring a coalition government into place. In those negotiations, Imran Khan, the ex-cricketer whose party has risen to an unlikely third place by appealing to young people and those disaffected from mainstream politics, is likely to play a critical role as a potential king-maker. His manifesto will be released on the 23rd, but I am hoping to sit down with him before then and talk about his priorities and the audience he's reaching that the major parties are not.
I'll be updating this blog and posting for Forbes while here, so stay tuned.]]>
1. The film is inaccurate.
Despite screenwriter Mark Boal's promise not to play 'fast and loose' with history, there is a lot of sloppiness to his script.
The majority of the film is set in Pakistan, where CIA employees work out the U.S. embassy compound. The protagonist, Maya, drives her own car in and out of this compound, something few women in Pakistan, and no senior officials, do.
When two agents sit down with a prisoner for a meal, he's served hummus and tabbouleh. This is laughable. Pakistan is not a Middle Eastern country, and no one there is eating hummus, unless they are going to ethnic restaurants.
When CIA operatives masquerade as aid workers offering vaccines to get bin Laden's DNA, the film misstates the vaccine being offered (it was hepatitis B, not polio) and doesn't address the consequences of using humanitarian workers as a cover, thereby discrediting NGOs that provide real aid to Pakistanis.
I could go on a long time picking out details like this, but the point is: to anyone who has any firsthand experience of Pakistan or the 'war on terror' in South Asia, the movie is highly implausible.
2. The film glorifies torture.
It is no secret that there is a lot of time spent on torture in this film, from the opening water-boarding scene to later segments featuring forced nudity, dog collars, and a grown man confined in a small wooden box.
What makes the film abhorrent, however, is not that it depicts torture – it would have been inaccurate to exclude it entirely. The problem is in the way it is depicted. Maya's initial discomfort with torture is something she has to overcome, and we are encouraged to view it as part of her personal growth when she does. Later, when President Obama ends the torture program, we are encouraged to see it as a bureaucratic annoyance.
When the White House asks for hard evidence – photos, phone logs or DNA – that the Abbottabad compound houses bin Laden, Maya's boss replies, "We lost the ability to tell that when we lost the detainee program." That statement is presented uncritically, with no one in the room challenging it. It summarizes the position of the film on torture, which is that it was central to CIA success.
As people with knowledge of the matter have pointed out, this is a highly inaccurate claim, not least because in a real room of intelligence officers, there would have been more dissent. Yet it would be an immoral claim whether it was accurate or not, because torture is unequivocally wrong even if it can be effective.
3. The film pretends to be journalism.
My biggest problem with Zero Dark Thirty, however, isn't in its Orientalist depiction of Pakistan or its abhorrent justifications of torture. It is the film's utterly dishonest attempt to cloak these views under the mantle of journalism.
Its opening title, "Based on first-hand accounts of actual events" is a claim to journalistic authority. It's a much stronger claim than the standard "based on a true story" we're used to seeing in historical fiction. Presenting it at the start of the film, rather than during the credits, accompanied by audio of real phone calls from the collapsing World Trade Center, is a way of making an explicit plea that we interpret what follows as fact. Director Kathryn Bigelow herself has referred to the film as a 'reported' work and an 'imagistic version of reportage.'
Lots of viewers – the ones who don't have any expertise on this topic – will take these claims at face value, and thereby walk away with the conviction that all the film's fictionalizations are factual, that this is a work of journalism. That is wrong.
Bigelow and Boal are retreating behind the argument that art should be weighed against its fealty to a 'higher truth' not against political context. I am skeptical of this notion, but it simply doesn't apply to a work that has been marketed as nonfiction.
4. All art is political.
Even without its pseudo-journalistic framing, the film would still be problematic.
All culture happens in a political context. Art that aims to be 'neutral' by simply presenting 'the way things are' is still political. When you present political context as 'the way things are' as opposed to 'the way individuals have chosen for things to be' you are normalizing the prevailing political order, and thereby helping to sustain it.
This film normalizes not only the torture apparatus, but also the validity of spending ten years and billions of dollars on the bin Laden search in the first place. Plenty of reports suggest that the al Qaeda center of gravity long ago moved away from bin Laden to splinter groups elsewhere, or to lone militants radicalized online.
There are good arguments for the significance of catching bin Laden, but the film does not allow its characters to have this debate. The head of the CIA's operation in Pakistan voices skepticism about Maya's project. But he is never taken seriously by his peers (or the audience) and is fired from his post in disgrace. The film is on Maya's side by default, and the audience in my theatre clapped at bin Laden's death.
Bigelow is a talented director and the film is well made. But she uses the war on terror and claims of historical accuracy as a cheap backdrop for her characters' stories, refusing to engage in any real way with the moral implications of doing so.
That's not artistic subversion. It's disgraceful callousness, and deserves to be called out as such.]]>

Tip and the Gipper
Tip and the Gipper
When Politics Worked
Simon & Schuster, Hardcover, 9781451695991, 423pp.
Publication Date: October 1, 2013
From the author of the New York Times bestseller Jack Kennedy—and Tip O'Neill's former chief-of-staff—comes the firsthand, one-of-a-kind story of the friendship between President Reagan and the Speaker of the House.
They were the political odd couple—the two most powerful men in the country, a pair who, in author Chris Matthews's words, "couldn't be more different or more the same." For six years Matthews was on the inside, watching the evolving relationship between President Ronald Reagan and Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill. Their philosophies were miles apart—Reagan intent on scaling back government, O'Neill fervent in defending it. Yet there was common ground too: long lunches shared on St. Patrick's Day and a mutual respect—political and personal. Three days after Reagan's shooting, Tip was the first outsider at the president's bedside.
Drawing not only on his own remarkable knowledge but on extensive interviews with those closest to his subjects, Matthews brings this unlikely friendship to life in his unique voice, rendering as lively and novelistic a read as Jack Kennedy and a timely object lesson in how bipartisan cooperation can work.

LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said that modern transport system is the hallmark of a civilized society.
He said that an efficient and reliable transport system is essential for providing quality travelling facilities to the masses as well as accelerating economic and trade activities. He said that Punjab government has taken revolutionary measures for modernizing transport system in the province, which are leaving a positive impact on transport sector. He said that after the thumping success of public welfare metro bus system, the first metro train project of the country is also being started which will revolutionize transport system.
He was talking to a delegation of assembly members and workers of Pakistan Muslim League-N at Raiwind. The chief minister said that PML-N is implementing its public welfare agenda in the light of its manifesto. He said that billions of rupees are being spent on education, health, water supply and communication sectors. He said that national resources are a trust of the nation and Punjab government is spending every penny of public money in a transparent manner for the provision of basic amenities to the masses. He said that a project has been evolved to operate metro train on a 27-km long route in Lahore with the investment of China, which will give a new identity to Lahore while modern transport facility will also become available to the citizen. He said that orange line metro train is a glorious project for resolving traffic problems and provision of modern transport facilities to the citizens. He said that the project will be completed in a record period of 27 months while speed, transparency and highest standard of construction work will also be ensured. He said that initially more than 250,000 citizens would benefit from orange line metro train project while their number will increase gradually. He said that around 175,000 people are also benefiting from metro bus service. The chief minister further said that after Lahore, Rawalpindi-Islamabad metro bus project is also being implemented speedily and it will be completed in a record period of ten months. He said that completion of this project would result in provision of speedy, economical and modern transport facilities to the residents of the twin cities. He said that metro bus project would also be started in Multan and Faisalabad in the new financial year. Shahbaz Sharif said that service to the people and raising their living standard is the manifesto of PML-N and a network of development projects is being laid for this purpose throughout the province. He said that development schemes are being executed on priority basis in south Punjab and less developed areas. He said that modern transport system helps in fuel conservation as well as saving the precious time of the citizens who are also rid of traffic jams. Keeping in view this fact, he said, Punjab government is spending billions of rupees for modernizing transport sector.
The assembly members and workers of PML-N congratulated Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif over presenting a balanced, poor- friendly and welfare-oriented budget and said that his efforts for the improvement of transport system are yielding positive results. They said that Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif is serving the people round the clock and his style of work is being appreciated at international level.
Meanwhile, Shahbaz Sharif has taken notice of the gang-rape and murder of a girl of Sheikhupura in Dera Ghazi Khan and sought a report from RPO Dera Ghazi Khan. The chief minister also ordered stern action against the persons involved in the tragic incident.

Summit 2012 Day 2 Wrap Up
- By Jon Silvers, Director of Content Marketing
- HipChat, News
- On May 31, 2012
Normally, one would write a daily summary in chronological order, but I think it would be good to start a new trend. We'll start where we ended: the party. The Atlassian Summit Bash this year was held in two adjacent restaurants, Epic Roasthouse and Waterbar, which are located along the San Francisco Embarcadero. It was an unusually warm and beautiful day in San Francisco, and what's more unusual is that it remained short-sleeved weather even by 8pm in the evening, which on most nights is the time


text: bobsmyname February 23, 2014 10:41 AM As far as I'm concerned, seeing Vettel drive an uncompetitive car will be as bad as seeing him drive a dominant car. What I mean is, if he has a bad year everyone will just say it was because of the bad car - just as a lot of people said his dominance was down to a good car. While I understand people are excited that someone else may have a look in this year because of the Renault problems, I think F1 will be worse off for it. F1 should be about the best drivers going toe to toe. Having a good driver not in he hunt simply because the car is no good is bad news, just as we saw with Button last year. Like Button or not, he's one of F1's top drivers and has proved this every single year he has been in a competitive car - seeing one of the best not in the fight because of a bad car sucks - and the same will go for Vettel this year if they don't sort it.

"Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy."
It is a time when so many virtues have dimmed -- to the point where they may be confused with their opposite. Leadership becomes the art of assigning responsibility for failure to others. (See the news out of Washington.) Victory has become a bad word, just as war is now called Overseas Contingency Operations. By our vocabulary you shall know us. And know our times. Ambition, success, individual achievement, even greatness ... all those can now dismissed with a glib phrase. "You didn't build that."
Norman Schwarzkopf (1934-2012) was a courageous officer and outstanding military leader. He knew his objective and achieved it. And understood that character would tell in a leader. And so would its absence. He knew the difference between strategy and tactics, and he knew when neither was in much evidence. ("As far as Saddam Hussein being a great military strategist, he is neither a strategist, nor is he schooled in the operational arts, nor is he a tactician, nor is he a general, nor is he a soldier. Other than that, he's a great military man, I want you to know that.")
The general not only had a wry sense of humor, but he had the wisdom, when a war was over, to let it be over. He led one of this country's shortest and most effective military campaigns, and liberated a small country called Kuwait from a tyrant's grip, knowing that it was not small in the regard of those who live there. And that America's word must be honored, or the world would lose its champion of freedom. Some things America would not let stand, or at least we wouldn't 20 years ago, which now seems so long ago in this different time and different America. Remember what honor was? Leaders like General Schwarzkopf embodied it.
Among the general's many virtues, none may have been greater than this: He never missed an opportunity to remain silent. In uniform or out, on duty or in retirement, he would never be found among those explaining where his successors had gone wrong and how he could have done so much better. He didn't have to; his record spoke for itself. Which many have been why, when he did have something to say, it was -- and remains -- worth noting. This is what he had to say after his return from the Persian Gulf:
Pulitzer Prize-winning Paul Greenberg, one of the most respected and honored commentators in America, is the editorial page editor of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
Rush Limbaugh defends Rubio's debate answer: He's absolutely right that Obama knows what he's doing | Allahpundit

Tom Felton Finds 'Sympathy' for the Dark Characters He Plays

He's long since changed out of his Slytherin robes, but Tom Felton still loves dabbling in the Dark Arts.
The British actor, 26, best known for his role as Harry Potter's nemesis Draco Malfoy in the films, is currently starring as a ruthless Silicon Valley prodigy in TNT's new crime drama, Murder in the First.
"The nice thing about this character is, it's the same as Draco: People instantly see others as good or bad, and realistically people aren't like that at all," Felton told PEOPLE at the VIP and media preview of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley at Universal Studios in Orlando on Wednesday.

While no opening date for the public has been announced – though VIP invitations have gone out for June 17-20 – it is expected to be sometime this summer.

"Abandon all hope ye who enter here," warns the sign greeting guests to the Gates of Hell – as if they even had to say it.
Welcome to Halloween Horror Nights at California's Universal Studios Hollywood, which, like its sister park in Orlando, Fla., decks itself out on select nights this month for that scariest of holidays. Having frightened brave-hearted visitors witless since 2006, Universal's multiple walk-through horror mazes include this year's newest attraction, a ghoul-filled Dead Inside zombie apocalypse inspired by AMC's The Walking Dead (whose third season premieres Oct. 14).
"You need to be emotionally involved in order to be drawn into the horror," Halloween Horror Nights creative director John Murdy, stepping over empty shotgun shells amid the piped-in ersatz scent of rotting corpses, recently told PEOPLE at the entrance to the Walking Dead maze, which features actual scenes and props from the series.

My first attempt at having the headrest screens for movies was using one PC with a VGA and a video out.
The video was supposed to play the movies.
However I just found it tricky to get it to work how I wanted.
None of the Frontends really handle multizone very well.
Also you would need two soundcards as well, so I am now moving to having a PC for the front and a second which will do the headrest monitors. (maybe one day if it all starts to work nicely I will use a third PC so the two headrest monitors can be individual.

Important Announcement - Please Read
A New Orthodox Marketplace Website is Coming!
The Orthodox Marketplace online web store and the Department of Religious Education's catalog store are in the process of merging operations.
While we are working out the details of this transition, the Orthodox Marketplace website will suspend sales functionality of the site. Customers will be able to browse the catalog, log in and check on the status of outstanding orders and order history (including downloads).
However, the cart and checkout features will be disabled.
If you wish to purchase items in the interim, a subset of our product catalog is still available from our Amazon Storefront.
You may also wish to purchase items from the Department of Religious Education Resource Guide, available below. The DRE can be reached via their toll-free number: 1-800-566-1088.
We expect the new Orthodox Marketplace and Resource Center website to launch in 2016.
Theological books often focus on the ascent of the human to the Divine. This collection of reflections contemplates the Divine descending, acting within, and enlightening our day-to-day lives. Father John Breck's courageous reflections touch upon a wide and eclectic range of current ethical, biblical, liturgical, and doctrinal matters, as the chapter titles suggest: "Ova for Sale," "Violence against Women," "Fighting Clergy Burnout," "Who Wrote the Books of the Bible?", "Do Icons Really Weep?", and "Nightmares."
An eminent Orthodox ethicist and pastor, Fr Breck ponders questions that arise in our culture and answers them in an engaging style that is fully accessible to the average layperson. Crisply and succinctly, and fully informed by the tradition of the Orthodox Church, Fr Breck addresses the hard, practical issues confronting contemporary Christians: What about abortion rights? Firearm legislation? What is the meaning of innocent suffering? Breck tenderly and compassionately discusses mental illnesses, aging, and the movement of the Holy Spirit in unexpected places at unanticipated times.
My aim has been to discuss critical moral, biblical, and general theological issues in a way that is relevant to the lives of Christian people today, while remaining faithful to the sacred tradition of the Orthodox Church . . . Some themes, such as abortion, the status of the embryo, and innocent suffering, I return to several times, attempting to explore them from a variety of perspectives. Because a few of these writings are controversial, they will inevitably elicit disagreement in certain quarters, maybe even passionate disagreement. But that is all to the good, if they succeed in provoking reflection that will provide better answers than I can offer to the challenges we as Orthodox Christians are currently facing, both within Christendom and within a hostile and increasingly anti-Christian world.
? Fr John Breck, from the Introduction
The Very Rev. John Breck was Professor of New Testament and Ethics at St Vladimir's Seminary from 1984 to 1996. He is presently Professor of Biblical Interpretation and Ethics at St Sergius Theological Institute, Paris, France, and with his wife, Lyn, directs the St Silouan Retreat Center near Charleston, SC.

Are renters getting priced out of the suburbs?
Rents are skyrocketing in the suburbs as well as the city.
And that's presenting renters with a choice buyers in perpetually-too-expensive Greater Boston have long faced, of either moving farther out in search of a better deal or paying up in order to stay closer to work.
In fact, many renters are in danger of being pushed out beyond 495 in search of a deal, a situation middle-income buyers have long faced in the Boston area.
The western suburbs are seeing some of the steepest rent increases in the country, while the northern burbs are not far behind.
Middlesex County, for example, ranks up in the top ten markets in the country experiencing the steepest rent increases, with a 9.6 percent increase in median rents in August, according to Trulia.
And many towns are seeing even bigger increases than that.
Meanwhile, renters north of Boston and in the Merrimack Valley are faced with a similar escalation, with an 8.9 percent increase from 2007 to the first half of 2012.
Here's a piece I just wrote for the Globe West on the tough situation many prospective renters in the suburbs now face.
It's a landscape in which available apartments are dwindling, rents are rising and landlords are going fee crazy.
Both upscale suburbs and more middle income towns are seeing big increases, according to Zillow.com, which tracks both traditional apartments and homes for rent.
Leading the pack are towns like Arlington, which saw asking rents post a more than 14 percent, year-over-year increase in July, to a median of $2,416.
Wellesley saw asking rents rise 6.7 percent, to $3,547, giving it the highest median rent in the western suburbs, with Newton not far behind at nearly $3,000.
But it's not just the tony towns, as I said, that are becoming more expensive for renters - Plainville, Franklin and Millis also all saw double digit rent increases.
And there is likely to be little relief in the near future, with most of the new apartment construction in the area focused on luxury units, and much of that in Boston.
As prices escalate, will 495 become the new dividing line for renters?
What's your take?

With their unsuccessful attempt to acquire top free agents Zach Parise and Ryan Suter, the Pittsburgh Penguins are in the market for a big name player to replace the large gap left by their former elite third-line centerman, Jordan Staal.
A few names have been thrown around when discussing the latest NHL rumors, but one that continually keeps surfacing as of late is Phoenix Coyotes captain, Shane Doan. The Penguins could definitely benefit from a veteran presence, like Doan, to add to their wealth of talent. A seasoned leader that could bring his experience into the locker room was definitely one of the bigger pieces of the puzzle that Pittsburgh was missing last season especially with the early exit during their playoff run.
But could Doan's camp be pulling the same thing that Jaromir Jagr and his agent did with Pittsburgh only one short off-season ago and using the Penguins organization as leverage for increasing his value and the demand?
It's quite possible especially if you read any recent article relating to Doan's interest in any of his NHL suitors. His agent, Terry Bross, has said practically the same thing for every team that they are asked about … Doan would definitely be interested in playing for "insert NHL team here." That's a pretty generic answer and one that could garner a bidding war for those who are in the market and are not concerned with the salary cap (or in a position not to be concerned with the cap); none of which describes the type of interest the Pittsburgh Penguins have in Doan or any current free agent, for that matter.
As it stands now, if Doan is seriously considering leaving Phoenix or the franchise is moved to another location, the Penguins would be in a decent spot in the running; however, there are plenty of things that will be in play just as they were with Parise and Suter (and we all know how that ended). So, until Doan is making his announcement to the media, we can speculate but nothing is certain at this point just as the situation was about a week ago.

This Just In: Piscataway Is Loaded
Posted By Harry Frezza On August 26, 2011 @ 10:25 am In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
The originally scheduled Saturday scrimmage between Piscataway and Wayne Hills at Wayne Hills, has been moved to Ciardi Field this afternoon at 3 p.m.
The Chiefs, who'll be the No. 1 pre-season team in both the Courier News and Home News and Tribune, are once again blessed with a lot of talent. But no team goes without an area of concern. The Chiefs? How to replace all state linebacker Matt Recine, second team all stater Brandon Stout and the unheralded Kevin Smith. Those three players helped the Chiefs go 12-0 last year with a North 2 IV title.
"We'll be tested today by Wayne Hills," said Chiefs' coach Dan Higgins. ""We're going to see a good dose of power football."
The linebacking corp's success will have a lot to do with how senior Beniah Harrigan does with his move from defensive end to middle linebacker. Kendall Marks will make the move from strong safety to linebacker, Higgins said.
"(During Tuesday's scrimmage with Immaculata and Don Bosco Prep) The linebackers weren't making strong commanding calls," said Higgins. ""But (Bosco) was doing stuff we don't see until the end of the season."

This book is a photographic companion to Environmental Elements for Sidewalks, Volume I. It contains newly recast images made from the original 1976 NEA Grant slides and negatives from four cities, New York, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, GA and Amarillo, TX. The book reflects a wistfulness about the "street life" of that time.

This book is the first formal printing of a National Endowment for the Arts Grant from 1976 which studied the pedestrian environment of four cities, New York, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, GA and Amarillo, TX. It is simultaneously a scrapbook, an environmental critique and a design guide. A line from the Introduction says, "I became increasingly aware as I traveled and perused, that the vitality of pedestrian space is vested in an organic will to be alive; an undeniable energy." The book reflects a wistfulness as it portrays the "street life" of it's time.

Excellent treatment for sluggish thyroid
12 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2358885 on Apr 21, 2008
I use this all the time and when I don't use it I notice the difference. I put my husband on this due to signs of low thyroid function. Our goal is to see new hair growth and renewed energy. I am ordering some of this for my daughter who is showing signs of allergeries and I am suspcious that she too is suffering from low thyroid function. There is enough good ingredients in this product to help thyroid function and for the price you can't beat it!
effective product
12 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1499449 on Sep 20, 2010
I do notice the increased energy by just taking one per day. I usually take it in the afternoon when I feel tired. Don't seem to need more if the thyroid is just a bit low. A naturalpath suggested that I take a adrenal supplement with the thyroid because the adrenals can crash without support while taking just a thyroid supplement. I like the Gaia Adrenal Health supplement.
Made me very sick
12 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1288725 on May 27, 2010
This appears to be a very good product with all the necessary thyroid support supplements but they make me very sick to my stomach after taking them. Just like another reviewer commented, 1 hour after taking them I feel very dizzy and nauseous. I took them for 2 weeks and had the same results every day I took them.
Very helpful for sluggish thyroid.

Have used this product for quite a few years. Has helped immensely with sluggish thyroid symptoms. Very beneficial.
This will take a few more months of use to rate properly

Definitely losing weight and no longer having other thyroid symptoms, such as fatigue, coldness, dry skin, and hair. Take as directed. I haven't experienced anything negative, but I think that this type of supplement takes some time for full efficacy. It seems to be helping with exercise recovery.

Jun 10 2013, 7:55pm CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr
It may not be the Red Wedding, but the atmosphere will be just as cutthroat when Game of Thrones' Michelle Fairley joins the third season of USA's Suits in a recurring role starting July 16. She plays Ava Hessington, a U.K. oil company bigwig facing bribery charges.
"We're huge Game of Thrones fans — we talk about it, we watch it, we love it," raves executive producer Aaron Korsh, who was thrilled to land the late Lady Stark. "Michelle has a steel and a vulnerability in her that lets us question if she is behind what she is being accused of or not."
And just in case Mike (Patrick J. Adams) and Harvey (Gabriel Macht) can't provide enough legal aid, the enigmatic Ava has another ally in her corner: the firm's new British partner, who has a past with her character — and who just so happens to be played by Fairley's Thrones costar Conleth Hill (Lord Varys). Game on!

A Turkish song objecting to a single test as the deciding factor instudents' lives should wake up educators in Turkey and the US.
I RECENTLY RETURNED from a triprafting Idaho's Salmon River with someold college friends. One evening arounda fire, we were singing songs from ourcollege days, and in some cases performingthem in a modern style. Whenone of the group began rapping "Feelin'Groovy" from Simon and Garfunkel,we knew it was time to stop.
I thought about that night when I read an Associated Press story about a foreign punk band named Deli (which translates to "Crazy" in English) being brought to trial in Turkey because they had written a song "bemoaning a high school exam." According to the article, "The punk song is called 'OSYM,' a Turkish acronym for The Student Selection and Placement Center. That's the institution that decides which students go to a university, based on a three-hour multiple-choice exam held every June." Translated, the lyrics are: "Life should not be a prison because of an exam. I have gotten lost/ You have ruined my future/ I am going to tell you one thing/ Shove that exam…"
The song is a number of years old, but apparently some teenagers recently made a video of the song and put it up on YouTube, where it came to the attention of Turkish officials, who don't like to be criticized. Ironically, all of the band members have passed the exam and are in universities studying various subjects.
While the video is mildly amusing (and once again caused me to lose a certain portion of my life on YouTube), the Turkish punk band has a point: One multiple-choice test should not decide a student's future—in Turkey or in the land of No Child Left Behind, where some states invoke such a policy. The prison Deli refers to is not much of an exaggeration, even in the United States. In 1979, the average 30-year-old American man with a bachelor's degree earned just 17 percent more than a 30-year-old man with a high school diploma. Today, the equivalent gap exceeds 50 percent, and that is with a high school diploma. What happens to kids without high school diplomas because of one test?
What if US students, concerned educators, and parents began the outcry: "Life should not be a prison because of an exam?" What if they invoked one of the most powerful elements of cultural change—music? Union songs like "Joe Hill," songs from Woody Guthrie, and songs more familiar to us boomers like "We Shall Overcome" or "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield had a profound effect on many of us and brought us together around a cause.
Maybe we should bring "Crazy" over here for a round of concerts featuring the OSYM song. Maybe they could appear on American Idol. Maybe Bono could record an English version of "OSYM." Maybe that would get someone's attention before NCLB is reauthorized.

I'm sorry jaclaz, but now JFX is supposed to have said "Your WAREZ pe"? (Which he never said).
Could you not edit it so that it's clear to everybody that an edit has taken place? It would be quite unfortunate that JFX would get into trouble for mentioning words like "Warez.." etc...
JFX, maybe you yourself should edit your post, the way it reads now is very "JFX-unworthy" to me...
I am pretty sure that JFX can bear this burden allright .
Before the edit, there was the name of the WAREZ, so the sense of the sentence has not changed much (please read as "not at all").
Also - and just for your interest, you may want to re-read the Rules, particularly #8.

Select Local Merchants
A Blooming Hill VineyardRead MoreMuch like the wines they produce, Jim and Holly Witte gave their romance ample time to develop—40 years time. Though they met in New York City when Holly was Jim's secretary, it wasn't until a mutual friend reintroduced them decades later that they fell in love. They exchanged vows in the teahouse overlooking their vineyard in the Willamette Valley, an area flush with wine grapes. They opened their tasting room at A Blooming Hill Vineyard two years later. Their vineyard sits in the hills of the Chehalem Mountains on a basalt range strewn with windblown volcanic soil, protected on three sides by still taller hills and taller yet older brothers. Jim personally walks the vineyards, tending to each vine by hand to create the best conditions for full clusters to grow. Visitors can sample the award-winning blends in the onsite tasting room, which plays host to different events each month. To sate people's curiosity, the Wittes share their fermentation process online, and to sate people's appetites, they also share the recipe for the wine-infused cake they served at the vineyard for their wedding-anniversary party.5195 SW Hergert Rd.Cornelius, OR US
Ardiri WineRead MoreÁrdíri Winery & Vineyards' winemakers John Compagno and Gail Lizak personally tend to each vine on their 15-acre vineyard in Willamette Valley, Oregon, and their five-acre vineyard in California's Napa Valley. They age each harvest's fruit in French oak, creating complexly flavored whites and reds. John and Gail share their award-winning varietals year round at their open-air tasting facility, where staffers pour samples from behind a black concrete bar and roll-up windowed doors afford stunning views of Mount Hood and the Chehalem Mountains. The boutique winery's dog- and bike-friendly grounds also include a covered flagstone patio, a fire pit, trails through the vineyards, and picnic areas.35040 SW Unger Rd.Cornelius, OR US
Forest Hills Golf CourseRead MoreThe Forest Hills Golf Course has been a golfing destination for Portland residents since it was first built back in 1927. The course, just 26 miles west of the city, is spread across 100 acres of rolling terrain inundated with mountain views. Before rounds, players can warm up on practice facilities that include a bunker, driving range, and four putting greens. Once you've hit some balls and given a pep talk to your putter, it's time to hit the pine-tree lined course, where you'll encounter sand traps, water hazards, and doglegs. For a sneak peak, Forest Hills' website provides a comprehensive layout of the course.36260 Southwest Tongue LaneCornelius, OR US
CurvesRead MoreAs they enter the training circle at Curves, female guests come face-to-face with the smiles of other women. And just as points on a circle share a common distance from the circle's center, workout participants share the experiences of those nearby by trading stations throughout the 30-minute training session. One minute is spent on a piece of strength-training equipment built for feminine frames and designed to work two opposing muscle groups with a single movement. Exercisers then move on to a recovery station, where they run, jog, or dance to maintain heart rates and keep platforms in place during momentary losses of gravity.1513 N. Adair StreetCornelius, OR US
Cornelius 9 CinemasRead MoreCornelius 9 Cinemas in Cornelius plays all the latest movies and sells concession food that is great to munch on. Check out the restaurant at this theater for a delicious meal. Bring the whole clan to this theater — kids and parents will love the ambience here. Cornelius 9 Cinemas' drive-in theater offers a new and exciting movie-watching experience. Parking is plentiful, so patrons can feel free to bring their vehicles.200 North 26th AvenueCornelius, OR US
