is the Congressional Budget Office and its counterpart on the executive side, the office of Management and Budget. The average American citizen has become uncomfortably conscious of the size of government, and many citizens would agree that the best government is one that governs least ( McNeil and Metz 1956).
The two Hoover Commissions were not the first efforts to review the structure and functions of the executive branch of government, but they were significant in that they were joint cooperative ventures between the legislative and executive branches of government and in that they were bipartisan in their underlying assumptions about the appropriate function that public administration must play in the nation. In light of the great interest today about reducing the size of federal government and curtailing its role, it is interesting to see that there is still a connection between the present political climate and that existing at the time of the Hoover Commissions. There was a conviction then, as there is now, that government should exercise restraint in the functions it provides and a belief (even though radical reform was not undertaken then) that the basic strength of the political system lies in a healthy private sector (Moe 1982).
Of the five orders given to the Hoover Commission in July 1947, all remain relevant for public administration in the 1990s-the need to (1) limit expenditures to the lowest amount, consistent with efficient performance of essential services; (2) eliminate duplication and overlapping of services; (3) consolidate services and functions of a similar nature; (4) abolish services no longer necessary; and (5) define and limit executive functions, services, and activities ( Hoover 1949, p. xiii).
Of the eight defects of government subsequently put forth in the reports of the task forces of the two Hoover Commissions, several are again pertinent to discussions going on in government today: (1) improved accountability of administrators; (2) the development of administrative capability; and (3) decentralization of routine administrative services ( Nash and Lynde 1950, p. 21).
The enduring legacies of this work by Hoover and his associates is that (1) it maintained that government is for the benefit of the all people and not for special interests; (2) it supported civil control of the government; (3) it reaffirmed the rule of the law; (4) it suggested that some services that government provides could be handled more effectively by the private sector; (5) it served the cause of states' rights by asserting that the federal government should not do what state and local government can do equally well by themselves; and, (6) it maintained that if democracy is to survive, action must be taken to bring about a coordinated, competent, and responsive public administration ( Nash and Lynde 1950).
The Hoover Commissions' reports serve to remind people that the cost of the huge United States public enterprise must be met in tax dollars paid for by the work of its citizenry, who, consequently, have the right to demand limits on governmental power and growth. The two reports bring into even sharper focus that government, in one form or another, throws its long, ever-present shadow over the United States citizen in all aspects of his or her existence. In this connection, then as now, many believe that the public has less rights and are more of a cog in the huge machinery of government than ever before ( MacNeil and Metz 1956).

HOOVER, J. EDGAR (1895-1972) . The director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI), from 1924 until 1972, who established a reputation as one of the most powerful career civil servants in the federal government. He served as FBI director under eight presidents, from Calvin Coolidge to Richard Nixon and transformed the bureau into one of the most professionally run law enforcement agencies in the world. Hoover was accused in later years of abusing the powers of the FBI, and his tenure became synonymous in many circles with unchecked executive rule. He acquired a power base so strong that he could resist the United States attorneys general and presidents to whom he was officially accountable.
John Edgar Hoover was born in Washington, D.C., on January 1, 1895, the last of four children. His father, a clerk with the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, was a frail man who was institutionalized for depression and forced to resign his government post without a pension.

The German East-West Divide in Knowledge Production: An Application to Nanomaterial Patenting
Research and development (R&D) in the field of nanomaterials is expected to be a major driver of innovation and economic growth. In this respect, many countries, as national systems of innovation, have established support programs offering subsidies for industry- and government-funded R&D. Consequently, it is of great interest to understand which factors facilitate the creation of new technological knowledge. The existing literature has typically addressed this question by employing a knowledge production function based on firm-, regional- or even country-level data. Estimating the effects for the entire national system of innovation, however, implicitly assumes poolability of regional data. We apply our reasoning to Germany, which has well-known – and wide – regional disparities, for example between the East and the West. Based on analyses at the level of NUTS-3 regions, we find different knowledge production functions for the East and the West. Moreover, we investigate how our results are affected by the adoption of alternative aggregation levels. Our findings have implications for further research in the field, that is, a careful evaluation of poolability and aggregation is required before estimating knowledge production functions at the regional level. Policy considerations are offered as well.

Best Local Television Reporter (2001)
Mary Benton KPRC-TV, Channel 2
Mary Benton stands out in the KPRC-TV crowd as a tough, capable, "no frills just the story" reporter. She was omnipresent during the aftermath of the June 9 flood, holding court in knee-deep water clad in galoshes and wielding a cordless mike. A native of Harlingen, Benton earned a journalism degree from the University of Texas while specializing in government and political science. She started her professional TV career in the Central Texas market at KCEN-TV and later moved to KTBC-TV in Austin as education reporter. Since joining KPRC in 1994 she has provided a welcome face of professionalism at a station engulfed by Buzz Ladies, traffic reporters-turned-news anchors and flash-trash graphics. Benton is not the only member of her family to have a high profile in Houston. Her brother, Levi Benton, is a Republican district judge appointed by then-governor George W. Bush.

What you just said was a very rude and childish thing to say. Someone gives you very kind, and in fact TOO kind constructive criticisim and you go all 'OMG **** YOU THIS GAME IS CRAP AND YOUR CRAP AND YOUR ALL HAGS!!!!'
And even more amusing is the fact that your sprites are quite bad and you just flame somone who is trying to help you.
Now, this was unacceptable. You can't take C&C, don't post at all. And the fact you started to insult the thread's first post is laughable. Well, this is a job for the mods now.
Oh, and guys, just ignore noobs like this.

great stuff
Posted by Reviewer1811886 on Sep 13, 2009
great! It a good combination of anti-fungals
Cured me!
Posted by Reviewer1119501 on Nov 09, 2008
I have never had any problems with my feet until recently when my right foot had blistered and was a mess. This helped heal it in about two weeks. I just applied it every morning and night. It dries like a mask and kept it from spreading. My foot is finally back to normal. I recommend you try this if you can't get rid of the athlete's foot.

Best product I've ever used!
Posted by Reviewer2969024 on Apr 15, 2009
This product is by far the best I've ever used to treat athlete's foot. Many of the products that are out there in the stores only work a little. It keeps my feet dry all day and worked in days instead of weeks as I've experienced with other products.

Have never used a product like this before, but it is working, although not as quickly as I thought it would.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Fairly average, but the scent is something different
2 people found the following review helpful
Posted by australia on Jan 09, 2014
I don't love the scent, but it's fairly nice, it seems authentic and is not overpowering. However I find the lip balm to be too thin, it's still moisturising and stays on for a good time, but I just don't like the feel of it on my lips. Also, this Hurraw! balm doesn't have an almond scent like other ones I tried, which is a plus in my opinion.
Yummy scent and soothes chapped lips

Posted by Reviewer2552630 on Jan 03, 2014
I like this stuff. I have several in other scents. I like them all a lot. I get dry lips - especially in winter weather. I hate the lip balms that are hard and don't go on smoothly. This is a nice balance of light and soothing without being gloppy. Scents are not overwhelming.

Why Read This ReportHighlights of the Trends In Customer Experience panel at Forrester's Customer Experience Forum 2010 included a debate about the need for a chief customer officer (CCO), a prediction that "Web sites are dead," and a discussion of strategies for cross-channel orchestration. One major point of agreement among these sometimes-contentious customer experience leaders from FedEx, Time Warner Cable, and USAA: They uniformly attributed their breakthroughs to moving away from a product innovation mindset toward a customer-centered approach to doing business. This new mindset is helping the firms better understand and react to customers' rapidly changing expectations.

After spending her time asking so many questions to so many coaches, Erin Andrews finally gets a chance to give some answers.
Teddy Greenstein of the CHICAGO TRIBUNE got lucky enough to sit down with the sideline superstar and get her thoughts on a variety of subjects - from halftime hugs to her own online celebrity status.
Erin recalls her reaction when Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl put his mid-game moves on her:
He gave me a big bear hug. I wasn't surprised at all because he's very passionate. But right when it happened, you could see the reaction on my face: Oh, God, this is going to be all over the place.
Why would she ever think that? Erin also reveals what sweet nothings coach Pearl sent to her after their ESPN-filmed embrace:
He texted me and said: "Thanks for doing the game. Great working with you." I said: "Absolutely" and mentioned: "You know this is gonna get a ton of play on the Internet, don't you?" He's like: "Oh, yeah." He gets it.
We told you he was a player. Anyway, Erin also touches on her blossoming Internet fame:
The past year or so, it's been . . . obviously not to the extent of Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears or Tom Brady with a walking boot, but it's like every move I make, whether it's wearing red leggings at a UCLA game or who am I talking to on the sidelines of a Rutgers game, it's being talked about 24-7.
At least Erin hasn't done anything shameful, like checking in & out of rehab, or losing a Super Bowl & ruining an undefeated season. But there is some news Ms. Andrews does love to hear about herself - namely, kudos from other female sportscasters that she holds in high esteem:
The coolest thing that happens is when I get a text message from Lesley Visser or Linda Cohn or Shelley Smith. Shelley texted me to say: "You're doing a great job with this Indiana (Kelvin Sampson) stuff." These are women who have been in the business a lot longer than me and have dealt with a lot of stuff and they're giving me support. They're giving me credit not just for being Playboy's Sexiest Broadcaster. That means more than they will ever know.
More than a message from Bruce? Wow, that must be serious.

Remembering brave Ethiopian fighters
The Korean War might not be an interesting issue to the youth nowadays but it is the most tragic incident in Korea's 5,000-year-long history. If the United Nations Forces had not come and supported us at that time, the Republic of Korea would have disappeared from the Earth and only the flag of North Korea would have been fluttered from Mt. Baekdu to Mt. Halla. Korea, which used to be unnoticed at the Far Eastern corner of the world, now stands high among top-10 countries in almost every field. We Koreans reasonably take pride in having successfully held worldwide events such as the G20 Summit, Yeosu World Exhibition and the Seoul Olympic Games.
Who can deny what Korea owes to the sacrifices of U.N. Forces consisting of 16 countries such as Ethiopia, the Philippines and the U.S. that fought to dispel the communist invaders together with Korean soldiers and students during the Korean War. I'd like to tell our young students, who tend to regard the war as only the past, the story of 6,037 Ethiopian soldiers who sailed here over more than half round the earth and fought to defend the freedom of Koreans and world peace with the spirit of "we'll fight until win or die."
The Korean War broke out only 60 years ago and more than 10 million people still live separately as a result of the war. And the North, the invader, which has handed over its dictatorial regime over three generations and oppressed its people harshly and throws its people into starvation, continuously threatens us by saying, "We will make Seoul a burning sea."
I have longed for Ethiopia's Queen of Sheba since I read 1-King 10 of the Old Testament saying, "The Queen of Sheba heard about the fame and wisdom of Solomon, came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions. Solomon answered all her questions." King Solomon was the wisest and the Queen of Sheba was the most beautiful and intelligent female monarch 3,000 years ago. I was lucky to work at the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and since then I've worked all over the world. At last I volunteered to work in Ethiopia which helped us during the Korean War under the banner of the United Nations.
I served there for two years from August 2008. I came to know that Sheba and Solomon loved each other and had a son who became later Emperor Menelik I, the first emperor of the Ethiopia Empire. It was my luck to meet many Ethiopian Korean War veterans who are now in their 80s or 90s. And I heard their unbelievable brave military deeds at that time from them directly. I was deeply impressed with Emperor Selasie's belief in world peace through "Collective Security" and his soldiers' loyalty and lionheartedness, which I want to tell our young people about including my son and daughter, because their spirit of "we fight until win or die" or "one for all, all for one" is useful not only for battle but also all the frontiers of life. In fact, they engaged in 253 battles for three years during the war and amazingly won all 253 battles. Moreover, there was even not one missing or surrender with more than 700 deaths and seriously-wounded.
Ethiopian veterans told me that it was a quite natural result, because they fought until they won or died with the spirit of "one for all, all for one." In addition to that, they always kept in mind Emperor Selasie's words "Go to Korea our friendly country and fight until win or die for world peace and the freedom of Koreans and so raise up the honor and glory of your country Ethiopia." And the emperor named his battalion as "Kagnew,'' meaning "to crush the enemy at the first battle.''
Ethiopia is now in economic difficulties because it was communized from 1974 to 1991. But it has maintained its independence for 3,000 years dispelling more than 900 invasions from foreign countries as a peace-loving country like Korea. Its climate is mild all over the year and its landscape is green and beautiful unexpectedly unlike any other African country. There is Simien Height called the "Roof of Africa'' and many lakes including Lake Tana, which is bigger than Gyeonggi Province.
Ethiopia is the origin of coffee and human ancestors. It holds the African Union's headquarters and 108 resident embassies in Addis Ababa. Ethiopia closed its Seoul Embassy long ago due to economic woes, but it reopened its residential embassy last year in an amicable response to KOICA's consistent cooperation. We feel bad when we read articles about drought and hunger in Ethiopia who helped us by dispatching 6,037 soldiers during the Korean War.
That's why KOICA is doing a lot of activities for Ethiopian social and economic development voluntarily. These activities contribute not only to the friendship between Korea and Ethiopia but also to making it known that Korea is a country which never forgets its debt of gratitude.
The Korea-Ethiopia cultural event was held in Seoul on Sunday in celebration of the 50th anniversary of their diplomatic ties. During this event, four Ethiopian Korean War veterans ― who are more than 85 years old ― visited here. They are the heroes we should remember forever. We should receive them warmly with all our hearts.
On the occasion of the 63rd anniversary of the Korean War, I extend my heartfelt thanks to the U.N. Forces, our soldiers and students who fought together for Korea against the communist invaders at that time and I solemnly pray for a heavenly reception of peace for those who paid the ultimate price in defense of our country.
The author formerly led an office in Ethiopia operated by the Korea International Cooperation Agency.

I'm staying right at 301. No budge in that scale. It's only been a couple of days, but I'm just so excited to be about to pass up 300! My impatience isn't getting the best of me yet, but it is frustrating. My goal was to break 300 in time for my birthday next month, which is certainly in the bag. So I can't really complain. Just thought I'd post a little update.
It's time to leave the 300's and never turn back!

I also think restaurants often use high fat as a way to give flavor to inferior ingredients. When we're not eating much fat, that doesn't work: we just taste the fat and it's kind of gross and there's not the flavor of the meat or whatever we're hoping for.
Latest discovery for me: I can make a good version of "buffalo wings". I used to love both the real wings version and the chicken nuggets version, but both are over the top fat. But the bottled sauce is fine. So I did lightly breaded turkey cutlet nuggets, pan fried. Just a tablespoon of bread crumbs and a teaspoon of olive oil and lots of good turkey protein. It was fantastic and will definitely be on my list when I have a junk food urge.

Thanks for the input. I have found less and less foods to have an appeal. One thing I have came up with was a highly modified Shepard's pie. I make about 1/2 cup of instant mashed potatoes (I use chicken broth in place of water) I sprinkle 1.5-2 oz. of shredded chicken across the top and then use 1/2 slice of good cheese across the top. Microwave for 2 minutes and sprinkle with a touch of Hot sauce. Stir and eat! I wind up with a low carb high protein meal that I like and still meets my nutritional requirements.
It only takes 3 minutes or so to prepare!
Keep moving forward!

The good the bad and the ugly! (truth)
Ok still on the right path, I have a horrible cold its been going on all week. I ate good yesterday (good)

Ok this is the think I think I'm using my cold and knee pain as an excuse for not exercising. (ugly truth) I think there's more to it, just don't know yet!!!

I know the feeling of not exercising due to a pain somewhere. About a month ago I tweeked something in my left hip and it is either a pinched nerve or a pulled muscle but it affects my hip and just above the outside of my ankle on the same leg. I had to quit walking. Only during the last week I have started again and only about half what I had built up to in the months prior. I have come to realize that the more I use the leg the less it actually hurts, but if I sit around and baby it, I could cry in pain when I try to get going again. I did continue with my other workout routines during this non-walking time though. It has slowed down my losses to almost non-existant though. But the good news is....I am not regaining. And I haven't been eating the best the past two weeks or so either.
Gosh....now I am rambling, LOL!

My first shot at exercise
Today I went to a local park to start a walking program. I have done little in the way of exercise since my surgery three weeks ago. After just a few steps I noticed a pain in my lower back and thought of stopping. I decided against it and pressed on. I have been battling weakness since my surgery and really fought against stopping due to being weak. (avg. 650 cals a day) To my surprise, I actually felt a bit better after the walk. I was tired and the weakness was a bit diminished. I sat a few minutes and watched some runners make two circuits of the course I had just walked in less time than I made one. In six months I need to be running! The drive back to work was better than the drive to the park!
The moral of this pitiful tale is to press on and make your dreams possible!

Down 2lbs this week, for a total of -12 since the end of May.
Best part of the week: I got up my nerve to go swimming at the lake. First time in years I can remember having no joint issues, so I could swim all out, not pulling any punches. In the spirit of "find exercise you love", this is now on my list for the rest of the summer.

What's all your best tips for breaking through a plateau? I've been looking to hit the 200's but I've been stuck at just over 300 for what feels like a couple of weeks now (haven't checked my records yet). I've tried eating less, I've tried eating a bit more, but my weight just won't break that 300 mark. It's KILLING me. It fluctuates daily from 301 to 304 to 302 to 300, but I can't seem to get it below that. I'm soooo frustrated right now. At this rate it doesn't even look like I'm going to hit my 10% goal of 293. I think I'll just change that goal to breaking 300, which honestly is more important to me right now anyway.
Anyway I'm just venting a little. I'm sure I'll get there any day now. Any advice anyone wants to give will be appreciated. I'll try anything at this point.

Sometimes our bodies just stubbornly hang onto fat sometimes, then BANG!, five or six pounds will go in a week. I don't know why, and I agree that it is frustrating. The cool thing is that if you are accurately tracking your deficit you really don't have to worry.
So stay the course, man, and we'll all be celebrating your entry into the Terrific Twos in short order!
May 4, 2010...... 440? lbs. (Start FitDay Size 60 Jeans)

June 19, 2011.... 229 lbs. (164 lbs. gone in one year :-)
Current Weight... 185 lbs. (Size 36 Jeans)
Next Goal 169 lbs. (07/04/12)

It is important that we eventually reach our weight loss and fitness goals, but we don't need to reach them overnight. I like the challenges, I think they are fun and they give us something to work toward, but I don't think we should take them too seriously. The last thing we need is more stress. My advice is to go do something fun, that you would have had a hard time doing 6 months ago and reflect on how far you have come. Relax and enjoy the journey, the losses will come eventually.

Clay residents will see a nearly 20 percent cut in their town taxes this year, as promised by former Supervisor James Rowley during the police consolidation proposal.
Rowley, who resigned Oct. 13 to take a position with Onondaga County, attended Monday night's Clay Town Board meeting in order to present the budget he helped prepare.
As promised during the consolidation proposal, we will deliver on the nearly 20 percent tax cut, Rowley said. It's about $10.02 per $1,000 in assessed value. The savings are there, and they're real.
But, given the state of the economy, Rowley emphasized that the tax cut was a one-time thing.
Things are terrible, as we all know, he said. This tax cut will not be kept next year.
Rowley said, given the likely reduction in building and inspection fees, CHIPS aid and mortgage tax from the state, the town would have to raise taxes in 2010 by about $4.45 per $1,000 next year just to cover the shortfall, or 10.5 percent.
Now, that number is a little misleading, he said. We reduced taxes by a very large amount this year, and that skews the numbers a bit.
Rowley calculated that residents' taxes would have been about $12.20 per $1,000 had the police merger not gone through.
On a house valued at $112,360, that's over $60, he said. It's a significant amount.
The town of Clay's budget is actually three budgets in one: the general fund, which includes everything (the expected tax levy is $652,342, up 11.1 percent from $579,384 from 2008); the part-town fund, which covers everything in the town except for the village of North Syracuse (the expected tax levy is $919,032, down 60.5 percent from $2,296,223 in 2008); and the highway fund (the expected tax levy is $3,974,315, up 1.1 percent from $3,876,444 in 2008). The total tax levy is $5,545,689, a decrease of 19.1 percent from 2008.

I found some breaded chicken patties buried in the freezer and wanted something to "dress" them up. This was perfect! Added some fresh spinach and a sandwich "thin" for a quick, tasty chicken sandwich. Thanks for sharing!
Great mayo !!!! Had some burgers and used this , defineately not overpowering, and loved the feta cheese taste in this. Madse as is with no adjustments, and cant wait to grab the crackers out tonight, and use as a dip. Made for Neww Zaar..
This rated a definite 5 from my daughter, who happens to love mayo & feta. I would not have thought of putting the two together, but it works! Using as a veggie dip and sandwich spread.

This year, an estimated $4.2 billion will be bet on the Super Bowl. However, 97 percent of that, or 4.1 billion, will be done illegally. That's because of one important distinction.

Coffee substitute
4 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2650095 on Sep 29, 2006
It is a terrible product for me to use everyday, but a lifesaver to use as a coffee substitute. The caffeine in the guarana has a HUGE effect on me. I try to stay away from coffee in general, however, when I really need it, like on a long drive, I use just one of these and it is far more effective than a large cup of coffee and without the jitteriness and calories. For some people the caffeine is not that significant, but I have heard from several others that it is also very intense. This is one of those matters of individual biochemical differences. I ALWAYS keep a bottle at home for extremely occasional use, but when I need it, it is a godsend!

Release activists arrested for protesting Nonadanga evictions
The Government of West Bengal arrested democratic rights activists and detained residents of Nonadanga slum in Kolkata on 8 April 2012. They were engaged in a peaceful sit-in demonstration, demanding rehabilitation of hundreds of residents evicted from the slum on 30 March 2012. This is shameful behaviour for a purportedly pro-poor government. The state's response to these peaceful protests has been systematically repressive, progressively sinister and undemocratic.

All inside... by JetteReitsmaWatch
©2013-2016 JetteReitsma
God this work is fuckin' stunning!These are the words that I've said when I've seen this beauty!And i think I'm not the only one,so I can begin saying that the tecnique is at the first sight easy but I think it isn't,'cause this is a really emotional piece...this gives to me lots of feelings,like frustration,angst,moves my anger inside,deals with the darkest and most misterious part of our soul,this is a whirlwind of nuisances...so I can say that the impact is really really big,the vision is amazing,and I can say that is original,and the pencil lines and shades are perfect.I totally agree the black and white choose,so keep your work hard,you're an amazing artist!
The Artist thought this was FAIR
3 out of 5 deviants thought this was fair.
Cant say I'm adequate enough to comment on traditional art but i'll give it a shot. First off I was impressed to see how much of an all round artist you were... showing a considerable amount of skill in every think you try your hand at which is no easy feet. trying your hand at every think and being compatant could earn you the title of 'Jack of all trades and master of none' but try your hand at everything and being exceptional is another story.
On to the actual sketch its self I find it very easy to get drawn in, the way you flow from feminine soft curves to masculine scratchy marks is another example of your ability to conquer all and great mark making. But when trying to find a narrative or anything close to, I seem to be fixated on comparing the minimal background to the outline of the foreground.
How the arm of the middle subject matches the shape and feel and how it seems too represent a tree which in most eyes will be strengthened by the similarities of the two 'grounds'. The man almost looks like he is part of nature going though some terrible rejoin with mother earth.
You will also notice more as you scan the image, little bits of un-noticed detail and build more of your own narrative. The closest I can get to a narrative is the life of man and earth and how both may be dyeing slowly. I drew this from the pain of the man and the barren cold of the scene It feel's like a statement from all eco nut's "this is where where heading" of course I could be wrong and you just drew what you felt but is that not the point of art to paint our on picture from another's...
So that I don't bore you any further I'll finish by saying damn your good...
Well drawn and deeply unsettling Nice work
This is pretty awesome
Amazing pencil work! Just wondering what your influences were when creating this piece. Love it!
I'm really happy you like it
Thanks so much for your beautiful words!
Thanks so much for your beautiful words!
reminds me of titans.

Lost in popular rhetoric and cynical campaign speeches amid a rapidly rising xenophobic and anti-Muslim mood among the French population was the embattled French President Nicolas Sarkozy's deliberate attempt to pick a fight with Turkey, which was Europe's fastest growing economy as of 2011.
By doing so, Sarkozy did in fact a great disservice to his fellow countrymen, especially for blue-collar workers, farmers and retirees in France. While heading towards presidential elections, he unsuccessfully pushed a major "nuisance law" on Turkey with a shortsighted attempt to criminalize Armenian genocide denial in French territory. Yet, I must regretfully say, Sarkozy fared well in alienating the most vibrant economy in Europe, which has a young, well-educated labor force, people with great business savvy and an entrepreneurial spirit as well as industries that enjoy a strong manufacturing base.
With a misguided sense of French nationalism up for grabs in political rallies across France, understandably it was not easy for French citizens to realize how much damage this failed law did to future job creation for working class families, on the security of benefits French retirees seem to have taken for granted, and on the income of farmers who have been selling over $1.5 billion worth of livestock to Turkey annually.
The fact is that many multinational firms, including French, have already moved their regional headquarters to Turkey to capitalize on, first and foremost, the rising political clout of Ankara in southeastern Europe, Central Asia, Africa and the Middle East. That includes some French multi-nationals as well. Yet Sarkozy has been doing his best to sever ties with Turkey for reasons unknown to even French government officials, who acknowledge privately that they have no idea what the French president is trying to accomplish.
This is not the first time we've tested the waters in France. When France officially recognized the 1915 killings of Armenians as a genocide in 2001, Turkish-French relations took a serious blow, which took years to repair. By the time everything returned to business as usual, at the initiative of the Socialist Party and with the support of conservative French President Jacques Chirac, the French Assembly approved another bill that criminalized the denial of "Armenian Genocide" in Oct. 12, 2006, throwing ties into chaos once again. The Senate never took up the bill, effectively killing it in its tracks, but the damage was done, and repairing the frayed relationship took many more years than did the 2001 episode.
Now the French did it again with the center-right party leader Sarkozy pushing a new bill criminalizing the denial of the genocide on the eve of presidential elections. The bill was approved in the assembly on Dec. 22, 2011, and was passed by the senate on Jan. 23, 2012. But France's Constitutional Council struck it down on Feb. 28, 2012, ruling that the law was contradictory to the principles of freedom of expression written into France's founding documents. Sarkozy vowed to keep fighting when he instructed the government to reintroduce a new bill to parliament, which they submitted on the same day. But Sarkozy simply ran out of time when the parliament went into recess on March 6 for the presidential election, which is slated for the April-May period.
Nonetheless, the sanctions announced by the Turkish government in its first batch of reactionary measures against France are still being enforced because the French government did not change its position on the bill. This time the damage seems to be having a longer-lasting effect on French interests in Turkey. All of the activities in terms of exchange of visits, education, training and seminars at the bilateral political and military levels as well as economic cooperation are still suspended. The decision to ban all of the EU twinning projects with French involvement is in effect. There are no political consultations going on at the bilateral level. France was shunned from participating in joint military exercises while France naval vessels are denied entry into Turkish ports. Turkey has started to examine the overflight, landing or re-fueling permissions for French military aircraft on a case-by-case basis, revoking the earlier right to ask for blanket permission for all flights annually.
These measures carry some weight, but they are mostly political messages. The disturbed bilateral relationship took a real toll on the business between Turkey and France. The trade volume in the first two months of 2012 has pretty much stayed dormant with respect to the same period last year albeit with some slight increases. Turkey's trade with other EU partners have by and large increased. We could have and should have done much better with France, provided that there were no obstacles to the bilateral ties, which thanks, but no thanks, are owed to Mr. Sarkozy himself.
Even if Cabinet members in the Turkish government announce publicly that the French are welcome to invest in and do business in Turkey, the way they are treated in the government bureaucracy is no picnic. The licensing and permission applications filed by French companies have obviously been slowed down in the government maze and there is an undeclared embargo on French companies being offered government tenders and contracts. All these inevitably have a blowback impact on French economy in terms of lost jobs and trade revenue.
There is also a sensitive opposition factor in Turkey, which the government now needs to take into account when dealing with the French. In the new legislative session of the Turkish Parliament, there are at least two dozen question motions filed by opposition party members asking each and every minister to detail what kind of business relations their ministry is currently pursuing with French companies or French institutions. As each minister needs to respond to these questions by law, now even a small amount of cooperation in Turkish agencies with French counterpart is under scrutiny. For example, according to the EU ministry, Turkey has implemented 14 "twinning projects" with France out of a total of 118 with EU partners since 2002. French projects, which were no big deal as they run at the value of $25 million, are now under parliamentary probe.
But there are other projects valued in multi-million or even billions of dollars. Just to give you some idea, let me mention two statements from two different ministries. In a letter dated March 20, 2012 and addressed to Parliament, Environment and Urban Planning Minister Erdoğan Bayraktar listed Bureau de Recherche Géologiques et Minières (BRGM), the French national institute for research on earth and environment sciences; the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (MNHN), the National Museum of Natural History in Paris; French banking and insurance firm Groupama; and French consortium Société Anonyme Française d' Etude de Gestion et d' Entreprises (SAFEGE) as partners doing business with his ministry in Turkey. He said he would comply with any government directive to slash the business deals when one is issued.
On March 5, 2012, Energy and Natural Resources Minister Taner Yildiz disclosed to Parliament that French company Vivirad has been working with the Turkish Petroleum Refineries Corporation (Tüpraş), Turkey's main oil supplier, on a project funded by the Turkish Atomic Energy Agency (TAEK). He also noted that Turkish Coal Enterprises (TKİ) is working with France's largest governmental research organization, the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), while Turkey's Electricity Generation Holding Company (EÜAŞ) is cooperating with French firm Alstom on different projects. Yildiz named French companies Geostock, NVT Perenco, Réseau de Transport d'Électricité (RTE), SNF SAS Andrezieux, Ardatem and Saint-Gobain SA as companies doing business with Turkish government agencies. The list is by no means an exhaustive one.
The French elite understood all the risks associated with Turkish wrath over genocide allegations and tried to prevent Sarkozy from dragging France into an uncalled-for dogfight with Turkey, which is being hailed as a fast-emerging power in Eastern Europe. France's Constitutional Council put a stop to Sarkozy's love of adventure for now. I guess the upcoming presidential election will tell us what direction we are headed towards on the bilateral ties as well.

Interstellar Alliance
The Interstellar Alliance is a fictional interstellar government of civilizations in the Babylon 5 universe.
Formed in 2261 AD in the aftermath of the liberation of Earth and the Shadow War, the Interstellar Alliance was formed between the Minbari, Narn, Centauri, the Earth Alliance and the remaining members of the League of Non-Aligned Worlds (Rising Star). The purpose of the Interstellar Alliance is to create peace and prosperity among its member worlds, provided that its members agree to, and comply with, a code of conduct. The Rangers are the primary peacekeeping force for the Interstellar Alliance.
It is headed by a president, elected from the Interstellar Alliance Advisory Council. After accepting a deal with the Earth Alliance which would protect his crew from disciplinary action but which left him jobless, John Sheridan was nominated to, and accepted, the position of President of the Interstellar Alliance, which he would hold for nearly 19 years.
The Centauri soon declined to continue being members of the Alliance, and soon were at war with many principal members. The Interstellar Alliance would be in existence for at least a millennium after its creation.[1]
