So, Really, Why Do They Hate Us?
2012-09-21 0:00
By Paul Atwood |
Recent attacks on American embassies and consulates in numerous Muslim countries are claimed to be irrational and undue reactions to a film portraying the Muslim prophet Mohammed in a degraded manner. The film is intentionally sacrilegious and incendiary toward Islamic beliefs and seems intended to add fuel to the rage of a Muslim world already incensed at the U.S. for its wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, for destructive American drone attacks in Yemen and Somalia and multiple other nations, and one-sided support for Israel accompanied by platitudes for Palestinians. Thus, the roots of widespread anti-Americanism are much deeper than can be explained merely by recent events. Instead, Muslim fury can be traced to the ever increasing intervention by Washington in Muslim countries since the end of World War II. Prior to that, the U.S. was considered a non-interventionist, even anti-imperialist, friend in much of the region. Yet, even before the war ended President Roosevelt made a secret deal with the Saudi king to provide American protection (and ultimately arms as well, used primarily to suppress his own population) to the Saudis in return for unobstructed American corporate access to the recently discovered Saudi oilfields.
Few today remember American policies during the Iranian crisis of 1946, when the U.S. obliquely threatened to force Soviet Troops out of Iran. American, British and Soviet troops occupied Iran in 1941 because it had tilted toward the Nazis under the father of the later American client, Shah Reza Pahlavi. The Soviets occupied the oil fields of northern Iran with Washingtons approval during the war to prevent them from falling into Nazi hands. The Soviets were supposed to withdraw in March of that year but refused until a deal could be arranged whereby the USSR could purchase Iranian oil in order to begin rebuilding its war-ravaged society. Initially the Truman Administration encouraged the Iranian government to accept the deal. Then when the Red Army did withdraw also encouraged the Iranians to renege on the arrangement. It is worth noting that the Red Army did not then re-occupy the territory, thereby putting the lie to the claim made immediately after WWII that the Soviets were bent on world domination. There was nothing, not even employing atomic weapons, that the U.S. could have done to stop the Red Army had it chosen to reoccupy Irans oilfields since that would have destroyed the very resources that were being contested. The Soviets were only one of the principal obstacles to American post-war plans- though they were trumpeted as the prime mover. Equally important was nationalism, especially the sort of national independence craved by countries possessing vital resources that the U.S. coveted. Few also realize that until WWII the U.S. was the prime exporter of petroleum. By wars end the U.S. had used so much of its domestic oil, and its hydrocarbon-based economy had grown so exponentially, that from that point on the U.S. was impelled to begin importing oil.
Many do remember the overthrow of the prime minister of Iran, Mohammed Mossadeqh in 1953. Exceeding its legal mandate to gather intelligence, the newly minted Central Intelligence Agency, initiated its first successful overthrow of a constitutional and elected government because that government decided that Iranian oil belonged to the Iranians and not to the British oil company that would eventually become British Petroleum. The American scheme was calculated to ensure that American companies would thereafter dominate Iranian oil production and get rid of most British competition in Iran as well. The Shah and his brutal government was then installed to act as Washingtons gendarme in the region. To ensure his rule the U.S. military and CIA then trained his dreaded secret police in the fine arts of torture and terror.
Meanwhile the CIA was active in similar efforts across the planet to undermine any form of nationalism, socialism, or communism that would interfere with the overarching American agenda, which was not the promotion of democracy but the installation of friendly clients into positions of power in countries considered strategic for their resources or geographic position. Space does not allow a complete catalog but of importance to current events is certainly the role the Company played in the overthrow of the British client king of Iraq in 1958, an intrigue in which Saddam Hussein played a role and that led eventually to his dictatorship, one with which Washington was happy to cooperate after the Shah of Iran was overthrown in 1979. The famous film of Donald Rumsfeld warmly shaking Saddams hand perfectly illustrates the lower depths to which Washington has too often stooped to achieve its ends. The U.S. provided highly technical intelligence to Iraq against Iran, aiding the mass slaughter that ensued, and when he used poison gas made from chemicals provided by American corporations against Iraqi Kurds during the war with Iran, Washington prevented sanctions against his regime. At that point he was assisting the American agenda to weaken Iranian fundamentalism so his crimes could be whitewashed. However, his invasion of Kuwait in 1990 became the perfect rationale to inject what evolved into a permanent American military presence in the Persian Gulf.
At the time of 9-11 Michael Scheur was the CIAs foremost expert on Al Qaeda. His writings emphasize that Americans had to take seriously the reasons spelled out by Osama Bin Laden for Al Qaedas antagonism toward the U.S. One of those principal motivations was the American military presence in Saudi Arabia during and after Operation Desert Storm. Bin Laden said clearly that the presence of infidel troops on sacred Islamic soil was a desecration. Thereafter, all American forces were to be driven from all Islamic lands. The widespread perception in the Muslim world that Americans had defiled the holiest sites of Islam and were exploiting Muslim resources while propping up corrupt dictatorial apostates like the rulers of the Arab Gulf states contributed to the relative ease with which al Qaeda could recruit new Jihadis to its cause.
Scheur also noted that bin Laden said that the attacks on 9-11 were intended to promote further intervention by Washington in the region and thus promote more of the anti-Americanism that he hoped would fuel his movement. To a great extent American actions have worked almost precisely to Bin Ladens plan and the current explosion of violence around the world toward the U.S. is a direct outgrowth of the increasing resentment and hatred long stored in memory across the Middle East. Washington is reaping the violent whirlwind sowed by itself.
The so-called Arab Spring represented an upwelling of long-simmering opposition to numerous dictatorships in the region, most of them propped up by Washington with a few exceptions that rankled like Libya and Syria. Though President Obama and Hillary Clinton mouthed piously about popular democracy and the will of the people, such didnt help the hapless residents of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, where instantaneous and brutal repression followed, with mere sighs from Washington. Remember that at first, President Obama supported Hosni Mubarak in Egypt until the intensity of the demonstrations in Cairo forced the U.S to abandon him. But not before the Egyptian military high command stepped up to reassure the State Department that it would take his place. Then they threw Mubarak under the bus. Nevertheless, the sheer pressure of popular demand for a voice necessitated an election. Since the Egyptian Army is financed and armed by Washington, and Egypt receives the second largest sum of foreign aid (after Israel) widespread knowledge that the Egyptian Army is a creature of the U.S. led to victory in the elections by the despised Muslim Brotherhood. After the election the Egyptian courts sought to prevent the seating of this Parliament dominated by the Brotherhood and with representation by the even more vehement Salafists, but the newly seated president of Egypt, Mohammed Morsi, does indeed represent the Brotherhood. One reason the Army allowed the elections was because its leadership feared that rank and file troops would not support repression in the face of such an uprising from the depths of their own social origins. Morsi is being very careful now. It remains to be seen how the new configuration of power, of Islamists vs. the Army, will evolve.
The killing of the American ambassador and three other Americans in Libya prompted an embittered Secretary Clinton to ask how those who owed their liberation to the U.S. could be so ungrateful to their emancipators, thereby confirming how little she understands of the circumstances fostering the Libyan uprising, nor those her government has wrought, or the degree to which the planned outcome of U.S. intervention islikely to fail utterly. The standard interpretation of what transpired in Libya is that the U.S. and its European allies in NATO conducted a humanitarian intervention to rid Libya of another brutal dictator. It is true that Muammar Qaddaffi ruled autocratically but in this he was supported by a substantial majority at least in western Libya, where traditional tribes were loyal.
Libya came into existence as an independent state only in 1951. Before that it had been an Italian colony, or rather three separate colonies cobbled together and given the name the ancient Romans called most of North Africa. In its efforts to subdue these colonies Italy became the very first European empire to use the airplane in primitive bombing runs on resisting tribes. In this they were soon followed by the French in Syria and Lebanon, and by the British in Iraq and Afghanistan, facts still well remembered in the region. Therefore, like so many nations that acquired independence after World War II, Libya was an artificial construct, merging mutually suspicious or hostile ethnic groups and tribes into a configuration designed by former colonial masters to serve their interests.

'Fast Money' Recap: Does the Rally Have Legs?
(DIS - Get Report), which reports earnings on Tuesday.Greenfield said it will be a tough quarter for Disney which has been affected by severe discounting to fill the theme parks, pressure of a writers' strike and poor local TV business. Greenfield said he's shorting the stock on the belief that Disney's earnings will be down next year. Indeed, he believes the the stock could retrace down to its prior lows. Lee invited Gregg Fisher, CIO of Gernstein Fisher, to talk about the value of diversification in today's market. Fisher said he would look at gold, commodities, emerging markets, foreign currencies and water as diversification themes for portfolios. In the "Fast and Furious" segment, Dan Fitzpatrick said he believes Foundation Coal (FCL) could be a break-out coal stock. He acknowledge the stocks in this space are overbought but he believes there is still some upside. Adami noted that there is chatter that Apple (AAPL) is eyeing Electronic Arts (ERTS) as a takeover target. Finerman read a letter she penned to George Economu, CEO of Dryships (DRYS) in which she criticized the company's excessive debt problems and a serious credibility problem, in which she accused the CEO of self-dealing when Dryships made a $160 million deal with Craig Marine, a company Economu controls.Becky Hathway, a CNBC reporter who attended the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting over the weekend, said Warren Buffett doesn't believe "we are nearing a bottom yet." However, Buffett said that doesn't mean investors should be buying in this stock market, she said. Rich Greenfield, an analyst with Pali Research, was brought in to comment on Walt Disney

Although I was only in New York for 6 days I took quite a few pictures whilst I was there. Todays photos are from Central Park.
A few years ago I saw some engagement photos which were taken at Bethesda Terrace in Central Park. The terrace was recently restored and it looked gorgeous so I immediately bookmarked it as a place to see when I was in New York. I didn't know what a popular location it was.
I arrived around lunch time and the place was packed as a group of B Boys entertained the crowd. I took some photographs but they weren't the kind of photos I wanted to take. A few days later I left my hotel room bright and early in an effort to beat the crowds.
I arrived in time to catch some beautiful early morning light and to see all the dog walkers and early morning joggers enjoying the park. I was also able to get the serene photos I was seeking.
I made sure to save some of my precious black and white film to shoot a few scenes of the park.
See you all again on Wednesday with the first recipe in this year's Christmas Collection.
Bye for now,

The City of Salinas and 50+ partner agencies of the Community Alliance for Safety and Peace participated National Night Out Salinas on Tuesday, August 4 from 3:00-6:30 p.m. at the Salinas Soccer Complex. Over 300 commuinty members attended the event. The MRAP and Helcopters were the most popular attractions. Next we plan on ending the event later in the evening and adding a food element by having a food truck festival!
During the 2013/2014 school year, one-third of the students in the Salinas City Elementary School District were homeless. The district's Homeless Education Family Resource Center provides services to combat youth homelessness and to help families in need.
You can learn more -- including what you can do to help -- at the district's website. Or you can get in touch with Cheryl Camany, the district's homeless liaison, at (831) 809-3636 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
STRYVE (Striving To Reduce Youth Violence Everywhere) is a federal program that focuses on strategies that prevent youth violence before it starts. With funding and technical assistance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Monterey County Health Department is implementing STRYVE to advance violence prevention through local partners. To measure the impact of violence reduction efforts in Salinas, we are tracking a selected set of violence indicators provided by the Salinas Police Department, the California Healthy Kids Survey, and other sources. The second report, was released in December 2014. Full reports for both 2014 and 2010 are now available in the "Find a Resource" section under "Data and Reports." View the 2014 report.
From The Salinas Californian: Like well-made carnitas, safety in Alisal is a complex amalgamation.
Despite his Peninsula origins, U.S. Rep. Sam Farr may have said it best: Poverty begets struggle, struggle begets desperation, desperation begets violence. And in Alisal there's no lack of poverty.
Many will even say poverty is the root of violence not only in Alisal, but in similar communities nationwide. After all, Alisal isn't the only disenfranchised community in the country.
But even as story upon story piles up outlining the homicides in Alisal, hope arises.
There's hope in programs like Baktun 12, a band of Salinas residents telling Alisal's story through youth engagement and music, and the Alisal Center for the Fine Arts, which gives children and teenagers a safe outlet for creative energy.
The Breadbox Recreation Center features dances, bands and basketball tournaments, and Cesar Chavez Library has been recently and loudly lauded for its numerous youth programs. Youth Orchestra Salinas still works with children at Jesse G. Sanchez Elementary School on North Sanborn Road.

It's based on a model that has worked elsewhere, and it'll work here, too. It's all about Prevention, Intervention, Suppression and Re-entry.
The Community Alliance for Safety and Peace (CASP) meets the first and third Wednesday of the month. At our meetings, we share information on what's being done by CASP and its member organizations as we work towards our goal of a more peaceful future.
Meetings go from 7:00 to 8:30 am at the Salinas City Elementary School District office at 840 S. Main St., Salinas (click for a map). Please check our event calendar to confirm the details for a meeting you plan to attend.

I have been bleeding every night since LAST Sunday, over a week ago. Last Tuesday I went into the ER, had an ultrasound, blood drawn and was sent home. The baby looked great, everything else looked the SAME but they forgot to tell me that I was anemic. I called the doctors office yesterday, they got my records from the ER and they said "oh, yeah, your anemic, we're going to give you a Rx for some iron pills" Mind you, that was a blood draw 2 days into my lastest bleeding, and every day I feel worse and worse. Today, I made sure to load up on red meat, leafy greens, and nuts (I should have got some dried fruit dang it!) but I don't know how big of a difference its going to make.
Everything says the pills should take at least a week to kick in, but I'm still bleeding every night. I feel out of it, dizzy, light headed, and have a head ache off and on through out the day. I'm talking to my husband tonight and I'm probably going to go back to the ER. I don't know how much longer I can take feeling like this. Its getting worse everyday, and I feel like I'm getting blown off at my doctors office.

text: I just received a belt I bought off of ebay for my recently resurected 86 150D, the size is 818 19 30 and was listed as fitting Elite 125 and 150. I didn't pay attention to the size when I ordered it- just went by 'fits CH150/125' After checking, I see that the stock spec belt size is 799 18 28. Anyway, the old belt was screeching on takeoff so I put this new belt on. It seems to work fine, maybe a couple mph lower top speed and slightly slower takeoff. So...does a little bit of variation in belt size make a difference? If you go here: http://www.monsterscooterparts.com/799- ... ch150.html you'll see that this belt has been discontinued and is NLA so maybe the 818 19 30 is the only choice now? Thanks

New London - The City Council's Finance Committee on Monday forwarded to the full council a resolution that would designate $925,000 from a bond ordinance approved in 2011 for improvements to Riverside Park.
The plan to improve the park is based largely on a proposal developed in 2011 by the Community Research and Design Collaborative at the University of Connecticut. To better link Winthrop Elementary Magnet School, the park and the Thames River, the plan would involve building a set of stairs from the school to the park, a pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks on the riverbank and a pier to stretch out into the river.
The plan also calls for additional picnic and activity spaces within the park.
The proposal passed the committee unanimously, with the support of Council President Wade A. Hyslop and Councilor Erica Richardson. The committee's third member, Councilor Michael Passero, was absent from Monday's meeting.
"I have been through the park since the effort to save the park and I see how much more that park is being utilized and I appreciate the fact that those who voted to save the park did," Hyslop said. "It certainly shows that there is a need for a park on that end of the city."
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio voiced his support for the improvements and told the committee that the city would not bond the full $925,000 at once, but would instead bond what it needs as each phase of the plan progresses.
The early phases, he said, would include general landscaping and a better connection between the park and the Winthrop School. Later phases would include a pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks and a pier into the river.
According to a debt service schedule Finance Director Jeff Smith prepared for the councilors, the city's average annual payment for the Riverside Park project would be roughly $67,000.
For each city resident, the project would cost 1 cent per week for the first year, 3 cents per week for the second year and 5 cents per week for the remaining term of the debt, Finizio wrote in an email last month to the City Council.
In an email to the mayor, City Treasurer Donna Rinehart said adding the debt to the city's budget would not require a tax rate increase of even 0.01 mills, which is the smallest change that could trigger a recalibration of the city's tax rate.
"While there is a nominal financial burden on the city to conclude this project, it is not enough to cause even the smallest tax rate increase," Finizio wrote. "At peak debt service levels, this project still costs the average New Londoner less than a penny a day."
Given that the project will not necessitate an increase in the city's tax rate and cost taxpayers less than a penny per day at most, Finizio said he believes the project "easily satisfies the test of affordability and, indeed, could be one of the best 'bangs of the buck' that I have examined in my entire time as mayor."

I am using older JQuery Autocomplete plug-in (the one shown here - http://view.jquery.com/trunk/plugins/autocomplete/demo/). It is intended to be used for a Mobile app. The plug-in works just fine in the desktop browser. However, on the mobile device the plug-in list of auto-complete suggestions appears very, very small and is not readable at all.
I have tried to use "em" values for font-size and line-height in the CSS. Moreover, I have added this in the CSS -
@viewport {
width: device-width;
But no luck! :(
I already have meta-viewport for my mobile app ad rest of the pages are just fine.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no"/>
As such, the JQuery plug-in seems to be working, because if I manage to click on one of those small rows - I am getting correct value in my text field. However, autocomplete list is too small to be readable and I am not able to figure out correct CSS to get this working. Any pointers/suggestions would be highly appreciated!
TIA, - Manish

I was just wondering what were the reasons for your first cesarean?
I'm dealing with a little bit of anxiety because 2 OB's have said that my canal is narrow, and they don't know what my chances of a vaginal birth are. My mom had the same problem and had to have a c-section due to it even though I was an average size 7 lb baby.
My current OB has said that they'll let me try to deliver vaginally before opting for a c-section, but that actually stresses me out more because I just have this vision of the baby getting stuck in my canal and everything being crazy. I don't really want to ask for a c-section because I would much rather go the vaginal route, but I feel like I'd feel safer that way.
Has anyone been told this and were you able to deliver vaginally with no problems? I guess the reason I'm scared is because a friend had her baby get stuck in the canal and they had to push the baby back up there and do a c-section. Just freaks me out.

WWE divas in Paris
Good news if you are a WWE fan that is living in France. The divas are going to be in Paris to shoot segments for an upcoming episode of Total Divas. No word yet on all the girls that will be heading overseas for these segments, but as of right now, it can be confirmed that Paige and Eva Marie are on that list. The latter will be missing an important NXT event in order to film these segments.
October 7, 2015
Backstage heat on Eva Marie
Some of you may already know this, but WWE has big plans for Eva Marie. That bit of news did not sit well with the other girls backstage. Eva is said to be not very well liked at all right now because of this. Some are jealous, while others believe that she does not deserve the chance. The entire situation will be featured on the upcoming season of Total Divas.

Nikki Bella underwear
An interesting little segment took place during Total Divas this week. Nikki Bella and Brie Bella took the time to go visit Eva Marie in the hospital, where the twins each caressed Eva's breasts to see the difference. During the visit, Brie noticed that Nikki was not wearing underwear, which is especially weird during a hospital visit. The idea here is to showcase just how different the sisters are from one another, even though they are twins.

Eva Marie breast implants
For those that are not watching Total Divas, the show is doing a story about Eva Marie and her breast implants, which started to leak. The injury causes her to miss a couple of months of in ring action for WWE. The red head diva stated that the timing of the injury absolutely sucks because she worked so hard to earn her position within the company. She fears that she will be dropped down the ladder due to her absence.
January 18, 2015
Eva Marie pregnancy
One of the top stories for this season of Total Divas will involve Eva Marie and her husband. The two of them will be having a dispute about children. Eva finds out that she is able to have children, but she terribly disappoints her husband by refusing to do so, citing her career in WWE as a major factor. The two of them start to realize that their relationship and marriage have been moving extremely fast. A divorce story is a possibility.

Now that Selena Gomez has announced she's taking a bit of a break from recording to focus on acting, the door is open for her Spring Breakers costar James Franco to hire himself for yet another job. The Oscar nominee recently released a candid car-jam video that proves he's just as addicted to Gomez's candy-coated hit "Love You Like a Love Song" as the rest of us.
From Franco's soul-penetrating stare to his emotive… ummm… gestures, not to mention the cornrows for his Breakers character, I'm not sure whether to be amused, creeped out, impressed, or all of the above. I am sure, however, that this is one viral video on which you'll keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat.

What do you think, PopWatchers? Should Franco quit his 47 day jobs and launch a music career? Has he regained his footing over brother Dave to once again be the coolest Franco?

Roy Little: Public options that workPublished 9:44am Thursday, September 24, 2009
One of the more controversial elements of President Obama's proposals for health care reform is "the public option."
In its basic form, this is a government-funded insurance program designed to enable certain citizens to obtain health insurance coverage while helping inject a degree of competition into the entire system.
In the insurance industry, there are abundant examples of public options that work well.
While my experience is in the property-casualty side of the insurance industry, I cannot see why these examples would not extend to health insurance.
Consider personal automobile insurance.
Auto insurance is viewed by many to be a social right.
Every state where I have done business has a state-sponsored "assigned risk pool" that provides insurance for all but the most dangerous drivers – usually those whose licenses have been revoked.
Premiums are high and based on driving records, but the depth of availability proves it is affordable.
Private insurers peacefully co-exist with these pools, and often issue and service the policies on behalf of the governmental department that runs the program.
So, administratively, it works.
Consider homeowner's insurance in coastal states.
These states' citizens and legislators view protection from hurricanes as a social right.
Some insurance companies provide "wind coverage," while most rely on state-run Fair Access to Insurance Requirements (FAIR) plans or state-sponsored insurance companies to serve citizens who own homes or condominiums in the wind zones.
In some cases, insurance companies issue and service policies on behalf of the plans; in other cases, the state-run insurers do the job.
In a few cases, the private companies actually compete with the state-run companies.
Once again, a "public option" system works.
In my home state of California, we have perhaps the best example of a working "public option."
Workers' compensation is not only a social right; it is legally required for employers.
California's State Compensation Insurance Fund has operated for decades as a backstop insurer of workers' compensation.
Over time, the State Fund has expanded to be a very large enterprise and often competes with insurance companies in a state whose workers' compensation market is larger than the next five states and the federal workers comp program combined.
Here, corporate insurers coexist with the State Fund in good years and lean; and employers stay or switch insurers based on a variety of factors including service, convenience, financial solidity and price.
As employers, agents and brokers participate in the California workers comp market and discuss provider options, the State Fund is mentioned as often and as unremarkably as all the other insurance companies that voluntarily compete in the marketplace.
In this example, the "public option" works very well.
As the health care debate rages on, there will continue to be the use of catch phrases and slogans, often with a great deal of ignorance.
A "public option" is neither new nor revolutionary.
It is a reality in a number of insurance markets, in states with very diverse needs.
These varied public options serve a useful purpose to both employers and citizens.

I've been bleeding or spotting for 40 of the past 42 days, and I'm sick of it. When the bleeding first started, I thought it was AF. In hindsight, it could have been the start of the EP symptoms, though it's also possible that I actually conceived during that time. In any case, it stopped on 9/7 and 8, started up again on 9/9, and I've been bleeding ever since.
I got my MTX injection on 9/25 and the bleeding got heavier a week later. My numbers are falling quite nicely (135 as of last Thursday), but I just want it all to be over. I hate wearing pads and the blood loss and stress is just making me tired. I hope that I hit zero soon so I can start taking vitamins again.
Did anyone keep bleeding even after their #s hit zero (not including AF---I mean bleeding from the EP loss)? How long after hitting zero did you bleed?

And now, I'd like to turn the call over to Tom Reinckens, Cache's Chairman and CEO.
Thomas Reinckens
Here with me today are Maggie Feeney, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Ashok Gandhi, our Vice President of Finance; and Victor Coster, our Treasurer and Secretary.
For today's call, I will begin by providing an overview of our second quarter results and update on our progress towards achieving the priorities we set at the beginning of the year. Then Maggie will review our financial highlights, and I will provide closing comments and turn the call over to the operator to conduct the question-and-answer portion of the call.
We are pleased to report better than expected second quarter results. Net sales rose 4.1% with comparable store sales up 3%. As anticipated, comp store sales accelerated in May and June as sportswear became a larger percentage of our mix. This positive trend has continued in July.
Earnings of $0.16 were $0.01 ahead of the recently raised guidance we provided on July 8. We attribute our strength in a difficult consumer spending environment to the success of our key priorities which we believe position us to increase market share and over time attain our mission 500 sales goals and double-digit operating margin targets.
Briefly, reviewing these priorities first to maximize the potential of the AVD acquisition, consumers are responding very favorably to our cohesive assortment and collection dressing which has been made possible through the design and sourcing talent that we acquired along with the acquisition. In sportswear, our offerings are now appropriate for more of our customers lifestyle needs which is driving traffic, UPP and shopping frequency. We've also seen a benefit to our dress and accessory assortment with encouraging results.
In addition, in 2008 we have now begun to shift a larger portion of our on-order inventory purchases to lower cost, overseas factories. We are pleased with the innovative fabric and quality from our overseas partners. This effort is also allowing us to offset higher labor costs in the U.S. We will however, continue to utilize domestic manufacturing partners for speed to market but at levels less than a year ago.
Second, to implement a good, better, best pricing strategy we rolled out this strategy to our stores during the spring with great results. We now have competitive pricing which is common in our signage and marketing and this is resonating with consumers. UPP's are up. We are confident this initiative will drive sales per square foot to our mission 500 goal.
Third, to maintain discipline in expense and inventory management expenses were well controlled despite incurring incremental expense due to the AVD acquisition. Average inventory at cost on a per store basis for finished goods was down 17% from the same period a year ago.
Fourth, to improve compability by closing underproductive stores and selectively opening new stores as we mentioned last quarter, we identified approximately 14 underperforming stores for closure, mainly our Cache Luxe location. We will continue to carry the last Cache Luxe brand in our ongoing Cache stores and believe our company will benefit as we focus exclusively on Cache.
As it relates to new stores during the quarter, we opened five stores, closed two locations, ending the period with 297 stores. For the second half of the year, we remain on track to open approximately eight new stores and close approximately 13 locations. For the year, we expect to open approximately 16 new stores and close about 21 locations ending the year with approximately 292 locations and 590,000 square feet in operation.
Fifth, to provide consumers with effective marketing our latest catalogue and mail orders have achieved strong results following the testing of several types of events last year. We are also pleased with our Cache Accents program, which is our program designed to grow customer loyalty. To date, we have signed up over 470,000 customers and expect this initiative to continue to gain traction with consumers this year. In addition over 15,000 customers have signed up for our co-branded Cache Visa card.
We also ended the quarter in a strong financial position. Cash and marketable securities totaled $27 million, even after the purchase of $3.2 million of our common shares since last year's second quarter and our debt to capitalization ratio was 6%.

Previous Loan DetailsSharifa is a 31-year-old married lady. Her husband works in the military, and Sharifa has a small grocery store in an outside room of her home.

Additional Information
About National Microfinance BankJordan is a small country located in the heart of the Middle East's Levant region. Regional instability has caused Jordan to be excluded from global investments for decades. Additionally, a lack of natural resources—including water and energy—places tremendous strain on the Jordanian economy, over 80% of which consists of small businesses, largely in the service industry. Despite their importance in the economy, many of these businesses are excluded from the banking sector because of their size. Microfinance institutions like National Microfinance Bank offer them an opportunity to enhance and expand their businesses. NMB also offers its services to other underprivileged peoples in Jordan, providing them with loans to pursue educational goals and improve their homes and livelihoods.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Reuters Knowingly Reports Lie About Binghamton Shooting — The Taliban Did It
Reuters published a story today, April 4, detailing some nonsense from a Taliban terrorist who has claimed "responsibility" for Friday's shooting rampage in Binghamtom, New York. The question that comes to mind is why? Why did Reuters imagine this idiotic claim, this obvious lie, was worth reporting to the world? Does Reuters not have the good sense God gave a door knob?

Help & Advice
How to guides
How to paint, varnish and stain a door
If an old door has been painted and repainted many times or if its paintwork is blistered or flaking, you'll only make the problem worse if you add another layer. Stripping off the old paint can make a shabby door look like new. You could then repaint it or, if it's made of high quality wood, bring out its natural warmth by varnishing or staining and varnishing it.
Buying guides
Internal doors buying guide
Internal doors do far more than shut out draughts, they add an individual touch to your home that truly reflects your personal style. Would you like to create a modern feel with moulded doors, or go for more of a traditional look with elegant walnut veneers? Should you choose a cottage-style panelled door or light up your rooms through glazed panels? Or if you're a bit short on space, why not go for bi-folds? All in all, you'll find plenty of great options for you.

I finally got a chance last week to meet and hang out with The Long Winters guru and fellow Seattle Weekly columnist John Roderick. To be honest, I was a little bit nervous when first seeing John; he seems to be the smartest guy in the room, and intellectualism has at times fed into people also being smart-ASSES to me. I'm not sure why that is. Maybe I am just an easy butt for a joke. But in my case, at least, last week, he was also the NICEST guy in the room, and he shares my low and classless taste in humor. Cool dude.
Duff McKagan's column runs every Thursday on Reverb.
I started a new job this week as a weekly columnist for ESPN.com. I will for sure be staying here at SW on Thursdays, but I am excited to write about my other passion--sports. I tried it a time or two here at SW, but it seemed to leave a lot of people just kind of scratching their heads ("Why is the rock/book guy writing about the NBA?").
Sometimes my interests and the Seattle Weekly's do not mix. Shit, I feel very lucky to be writing now for TWO prestigious online ports. That is, of course, until ESPN catches on that I am truly just a passenger, and not any sort of a real "journalist" per se.
A story on CNN caught my interest this morning. Cornelius Dupree Jr., a Texas man who has sat in prison since 1979--wrongly accused for rape and robbery--was just freed on DNA proof that overturned his conviction. Just think of that for a minute: 32 YEARS IN PRISON FOR A CRIME THAT YOU DIDN'T DO! Just think about it:1. Jimmy Carter was still the President of the United States (he won the election with the help, for the first time in U.S. history, of a surging Southern Evangelical voter base. That is why, boys and girls, every President since then has kowtowed so much to the Evangelical Church. They possess VOTES.)
2. 1979 is the year Prince recorded his self-titled record. That's four whole records BEFORE Purple Rain.
3. In 1979, Michael Jackson was still recording with the Jacksons (formerly the Jackson 5).
4. Led Zeppelin was still a touring band with all its original members.
5. AC/DC still had Bon Scott.
6. An actor from California named Ronald Reagan was laughably running for President of the United States.
7. The Clash did their first tour of the U.S.
8. I saw The Clash on their first U.S. tour.
9. U2 were still an Irish pub band.
10. Motörhead were making Ace of Spades.
11. Metallica was not a band yet.
12. "Ant" music and the "New Romantic" era in music were just being born in the UK.
13. Home computers were still about 14 years away.
14. The compact disc was still 10 years away.
15. Artists and bands were still actually selling records (can you smell my bitterness about that whole thing yet, AR?)
16. The Seattle Seahawks were only a 2-year-old NFL team. The cagey QB/receiver team of "Zorn to Largent" was in its infancy.

text: From vagabonds in ragged clothes at the roadside to those White Anglo-Saxon Protestants demonstrating conspicuous consumption in Starbucks with a cup of Rhumba Frappuccino in hand to the intelligent minds juggling ever so in blood the catch-22 of century-old rapprochement then conflict then rapprochement to Korean global pop sensation PSY who had crawled beneath the legs of world diva Madonna in the unmistaken Gangnam Style to the hellish moaner and bouncer in Japanese food truck server who interacts with unknowing passersby while getting bonked from behind all the while feeling the second, third, fourth and surprising wind come from vagina through the whole body to spirituality (only in a porn film or fantasy), UNIQLO is made for homo sapiens. If Bruce Lee had changed the world with martial art, chockablock with a gulf of human self-knowledge, UNIQLO is narrowing the chasm of the fashion orb with pieces of beautiful clothing in hyper-practicality: the horn of plenty of cheap, modish skinny rainbow-hued basics and garments in high-quality reductionism, HEATTECH the highly functional line of innerwear of extreme thinness, lightness and softness accomplished by the elasticity of the fabric; as well as +J the chaste, well-made anti-style of urbane uniforms conceived by German couturier Jil Sander to unify the global village. The clothes that suit individual values naturally make up a treasure chest for living absolute, free. Fabric comes first, fashion comes next. This is how the future dresses.
