- The central bank boosted the rate on Special Deposit Accounts by 25bps to 2.25%, but held the benchmark overnight lending rate at 3.5%.
- Inflation hit 4.5% in May, up from 2.6% a year ago and the highest in three years. The bank's in a tough spot as higher rates may be needed to cool inflation, but they - along with the fast-growing economy - could attract hot money flows into the country. Thus, the SDA rate was hiked to tighten liquidity, but the lending rate was held steady.
- Analysts expect another 25 basis point rise in the SDA next month.

The young and the not-so-young starred for the Chiefs in the front row on Saturday night and veteran hooker Mahonri Schwalger reckons the future is bright as a result.
While colourful 30-year-old loosehead prop Sona Taumalolo is heading to France to take up a contract with Perpignan, the rest of the front row is set to stay.
Schwalger, who turns 33 next month, has taken 20-year-old rookie tighthead prop Ben Tameifuna under his wing this season.
He sees a big future for the youngster and other props Ben Afeaki and Toby Smith are still only 24 and 23 respectively, but the experienced rake is also ready for more himself.
"Sona's leaving but I'm loving being in the middle of this young front row and hopefully we've got another guy who can step up to the plate next year," Schwalger said.
"I'm pretty keen to keep on going. I'm enjoying my rugby here at the moment and hopefully these guys will still want me."
Schwalger, who captained Samoa at last year's Rugby World Cup, said he had thrived on being able to share his knowledge with the 138kg Tameifuna in particular.
"When I first met him I told him it's not all about how big you are but how you use your technique and angles in the scrum.
"He showed that tonight [Saturday] and he would be probably one of the best props in the country at the moment."
Schwalger said the challenge now for the Chiefs was to make sure they kept the core of the team.
"We've got a few guys moving overseas, we've got a few young guys who really fronted up tonight, we'll get some new guys next year but hopefully we can keep the core," he said.

High Llamas
Talahomi Way
(Drag City)
US: 19 Apr 2011
UK: 11 Apr 2011
This might perhaps be not so much a critique as an apology. You see, I genuinely wanted to like this disc more than I do.
Sean O'Hagan—for all intents, the mastermind behind the High Llamas—has been someone whose work was always worth making time for. That he was a potentially major art-pop talent was evident all the way back to his days as composer and co-founder of (with singer/lyricist/force of nature Cathal Coughlan) '80s Irish pop subversives Microdisney. O'Hagan's butter cream-smooth melodies effectively turned FM soft-rock clichés on their blow-dried heads, all the better to place Coughlan's classic Irish baritone and barbed, satirical observations in even higher relief.
When this volatile collaboration's inevitable splintering came, Coughlan dove full-on into the musical aggression of Fatima Mansions; O'Hagan, for his part, chose to pursue his sophisto-pop leanings into ever lusher orchestral pastures. His High Llamas discs, most notably 1994's Gideon Gaye and Hawaii two years later, were among the most adventurous pop creations to see the light of that decade.
Loaded with complex, sumptuously sung and arranged pop sound scapes, the Llamas discs saw O'Hagan being rightly thought of as a rival to acknowledged heroes Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks (individually and collectively). He was even approached by Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys after Hawaii's release, to oversee a proposed reconvening with Brian Wilson: a delightful notion that sadly went nowhere.
So after a few years of being perhaps regrettably out of the High Llamas orbit, we find ourselves touching down at Talahomi Way, and right from opening track "Berry Adams", it's obvious not much has changed within the Llamas' artistic biosphere.
O'Hagan's gift for airy, breezy, practically sun-dappled melodies, like the wispy and wondrous "Fly Baby Fly", remains steady. His deft deployment of easily swinging horns, genteel strings, percussion exotica and languid keyboard pads (with the odd synthetic burble and blip), likewise maintain an effortless and maximally relaxed atmosphere. It flows and ebbs. It pleasantly sways like so many aural palm fronds.
And therein lies my problem with Talahomi Way. An overall mood of sub-tropical Pacific torpor (albeit well conveyed and executed) does get a mite soporific over the course of an album, or a handful of them, or a career's worth. I've never had a problem with being taken on a pleasant aural vacation, but to live in the eternal resort hotel lobby frequently referenced in the Llamas songs? Well, that's a different matter.
And while extending fair play to O'Hagan—his is a niche he clearly has toiled at and can present with the best of them—there is, after all, an infinitesimally fine line between a groove and a rut.
In the end, Talahomi Way is no egregious failure, for O'Hagan at even his less-then-best can beat most pop toilers' top-quality creations. But for the sake of future success, perhaps it wouldn't hurt for this gent Bruce Johnston once praised as "The Highest of High Llamas" to come down from that mountain more often. All the better to take in a little less rarefied and more varied inspiration.

Veveo, a leading provider of semantic technologies to bridge the usability gap in connected devices and applications with intelligent search, discovery and personalization solutions, announced today that it has successfully integrated voice and natural language capabilities for television and video search, discovery and navigation with its SmartRelevance™ Conversational Platform. The new conversational interface capabilities are available for trial by Pay TV and video services' operators, connected device manufacturers, and set top box vendors. Veveo's conversational interface solutions will be commercially available as part of its Reveal 3.0 product launch targeted for early 2013.
"Our conversational interfaces are a logical evolution of our deep semantic technologies currently being used by Tier-1 operators for natural, intuitive and intelligent search, personalization, and discovery features for multi-screen television and video services," said Murali Aravamudan, founder and CEO of Veveo. "Veveo's new advanced features will enable users to interact with devices and services to get to desired programs through a natural and intuitive process rather than complicated guides and menus."
A video demonstration of the functionality of Veveo's conversational interface that will be available in Reveal 3.0 can be found here. Veveo already serves more than 45 million televisions in the US and Canada with its Reveal 2 and Reveal 2.1 solutions that are used for advanced predictive search and personalization by operators. Veveo Pay TV customers include Comcast, Cablevision, Rogers, and DirecTV, along with Verizon FiOS as a licensee of Veveo's patents.
Reveal solutions are based on Veveo's SmartRelevance Conversational Platform that supports an aggregate of more than 100 million devices globally for television, video and mobile services. The platform is backed by a growing intellectual property portfolio of 32 issued patents and more than 67 patent applications filed to date. Current Reveal customers will be able to upgrade to Reveal 3.0.
Veveo Conversational Interface Features
Veveo's conversational interfaces are designed to:
- Allow users to perform search and discovery universally across available services without the need for hierarchical navigation or structured menus prevalent in services today.
- Address navigational challenges for users through applying natural language understanding with Veveo's core semantic technologies to make usability natural and intuitive.
- Build upon a proprietary Knowledge Graph and implicit personalization capabilities of its proprietary Personal Graph solutions to create hyper-personalized and efficient user experiences.
The Veveo hybrid-cloud platform can be deployed in operators' or service providers' networks, private clouds, or hosted by Veveo. The conversational interfaces maintain state awareness of a conversation to allow users to disambiguate, clarify and get to desired results quickly through a process of natural dialog, similar to how people converse with one another. Veveo's core predictive search and personalization capabilities aid in making the conversational interfaces intelligent at the outset and adaptive to users' preferences over time.
A copy of Veveo's whitepaper on its conversational interfaces and demonstrations can be requested by contacting Veveo at [email protected].

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

Francis Collins: We need better drugs — now
Francis Collins: We need better drugs — now Today we know the molecular cause of 4,000 diseases, but treatments are available for only 250 of them. So what's taking so long? Geneticist and physician Francis Collins explains why systematic drug discovery is imperative, even for rare and complex diseases, and offers a few solutions — like teaching old drugs new tricks. Francis Collins is the Director of the National Institutes of Health and was a key player in the completion of the Human Genome Project. WHY YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO HIM? In 2000 the world saw the first working draft of the human genome, and that's in no small part thanks to Francis Collins. Under his directorship at the National Human Genome Research Institute, the Human Genome Project was finished, a complete mapping of all 20,500 genes in the human genome, with a high-quality, reference sequence published in April 2003. In 2009 President Obama nominated Collins as the Director of the National Institutes of Health, and later that year he was confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Collins is also a self-described "serious Christian" and the author of several books on science and faith, including The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief.

You can still enjoy all the festivities of the season and get through the period without too much impact on your health and waistline. 0 The Oyster Box Related Christmas meal has 10 000 kilojoules 10 unusual ways to burn Christmas kilojoules Quiz Is my diet healthy? » 10 odours our noses can identify 6 body language mistakes to avoid Christmas is notoriously a time to indulge, but don't let this be the green light to overindulge! You can still enjoy all the festivities of the season and get through the Christmas period without too much impact on your health and waistline. Try our top 10 tips for a healthier Christmas.Go out for walk after dinner for a healthier Christmas day.Don't sit down all dayWe know every Christmas special under the sun will be showing on the TV, but you don't need to plonk yourself on the sofa all day! Encourage the whole family to get out for a walk at some point – ideally, after dinner to aid digestion. The more activity, the better, so take along any new outdoor gifts, like bikes, in-line skates, footballs or Frisbees, climb trees or play old-fashioned games.Go easy on the boozeIf you are firmly ensconced at home over the festive period, those alcohol units can really mount up. Mulled wine on Christmas eve, Bucks Fizz with breakfast, wine with dinner, Baileys, brandy… the list goes on! So, do try to keep tabs on how much you are drinking, and intersperse alcoholic drinks with soft ones.Don't give yourself a Christmas stuffing!Recent research suggests that we consume around 12 600 kilojoules in our Christmas dinner – more than the entire recommended daily intake for a grown man! This huge feast not only contributes to weight gain but also to indigestion and heartburn – not to mention lethargy for the rest of the day, reducing the chances of you burning much of it off.Instead of gorging yourself on Christmas dinner, eat a normal-sized meal and then take a 20-minute break to see if you are still hungry (it takes this long for the brain to register that the stomach is full). The chances are, you'll realise you've had enough.Keep colds at bayColds are rife at Christmas, partly because many of us travel around the country, exposing ourselves – and others – to different cold viruses. Minimise your risks by maintaining a healthy immune system (eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep and not smoking will help), so you are more able to fight off any viruses.Don't stress'Tis the season to be jolly' but jolly is the last thing many of us feel with overspending, cooking, cleaning, endless 'to do' lists and visitors we could do without. Try to keep a sense of humour and proportion. Is it really the end of the world if the carrots are overcooked or if the mantelpiece is a bit dusty? Do you really care about Auntie Mary's disapproval of the fact that you and your partner are living together and aren't married? Remember, Christmas is just one day out of 365 and it isn't worth stressing over.Eat fruitLet's be honest, most of us get through the entire Christmas period eating no more fruit than the satsuma in the Christmas stocking. It just doesn't really feature on the Christmas menu. But at this time of late nights, overindulging and partying, it's more important than ever to get your vitamins and minerals, to help you stay in good health. Ensure that your Christmas shopping list enables you to fill up the fruit bowl and get your five a day. (And no, mulled wine doesn't count as one portion!)Do something for othersIt's hard to avoid the consumerism that has overtaken Christmas in the western world, but it doesn't all have to be about giving or receiving gifts. Try to do something for others this festive season, whether it's baking some extra mince pies for an elderly neighbour, inviting an acquaintance who doesn't have family around them to your home or helping out with a local Christmas fete or carol service.Think before you eatChristmas is a time of plenty, and with nuts, chocolates, mince pies and cheese straws where ever you look, it would be rather Scrooge-like to suggest that you don't eat any treats over the festive period! But rather than mindlessly popping whatever is in front of you in your mouth, spend a moment thinking about whether you really want it, or are just eating it because it's there.Engage your brainInstead of switching off in front of the TV, keep your mind active by playing games like Trivial Pursuit or Charades. This is also a great way of getting everyone together. If you aren't a 'game' person, engage your mind by setting up any new gadgets, such as playstations, iPods, mobile phones or computers.Be a careful cookIf your Christmas duties include cooking the dinner, you won't be delighted to hear that according to the Food Standards Agency, December is one of the most common months for people to get food poisoning. To minimise the risks, don't leave food out all day.Put out small amounts at a time, so that what is on the table has just been cooked or just come out of the fridge. Ideally, try to use any leftovers within 48 hours or freeze them. As for the turkey, always defrost it in the fridge, allowing 10 to 12 hours per kilo and do not wash the bird, as this can spread bacteria around, which will be destroyed by cooking anyway.Have a happy, healthy festive season!

I know it's a busy season and time is short. But I've got several things we've been using and loving that I wanted to tell you about. So for the next week or so, I'm sharing quick reviews. Today, meet Circle by Disney…
We love the internet. Matter of fact, Andrew and I both use it to make a living, feed our family, and to keep us informed and entertained. But we fully acknowledge that the internet isn't all cute cat videos and blogs about adorably messy families (waving).
Andrew had our internet locked down with Covenant Eyes and something with DNS in its name. It was mostly effective, but it also meant that, half the time, I couldn't use the internet either. Because I am technologically challenged and I find i.p. addresses, l.m.n.o.p. addresses, and servers frustrating.
Enter: Circle. We hooked this bad boy up, created different levels of internet blocking, and assigned every single device in our house a name and a level.
What We Love:
- It really works. It's a tight filter and we're satisfied that we're reasonably protected from unsavory internets.
- It's easy to unblock a site… and reblock it. Quick taps on the apps on our phone, no i.p. addresses to enter. Simple.
- We can track every device, every site visited, alla time.
- If any device logs into our wireless system (which is password protected), it's automatically filtered through our Circle. And I receive a text notifying me that there's a new device. So if you sit in my driveway to borrow my wifi, I know you've been there. 😉
- We received text notifications if the Circle goes offline or is unplugged.
- Circle lets us know how long we've all been on the internet and what we've been doing while we're there. Convicting and helpful!
- One tap on the Pause button and the internet is off for the whole house. (Real Life: Our kids don't have access to internet on any device but the computer in the kitchen, so this feature isn't useful… yet. But another year or two and I'm gonna love it.)
- We can use it to set time limits on apps that use the internet.
What We Would Change:
- The history provided by Circle only gives a short url. Sometimes, a longer url would be helpful to determining if a site is a good choice.
- Only manageable with an iphone.
- I wish it would let me set time limits on ANY app.
- It was a bit tricky to get it to work with the boys' Kindle Fire. We had to allow amazon.com so their kindles would connect to the server. There were a couple of websites we use often that go through several secondary sites to deliver content. We had to un-filter all of those secondary sites in order to continue usage.
- Can we just carry our Circle with us everywhere, please? (HOLD THE PHONE: Perhaps we can?!?!)
- Purchased: January 2016
- On a scale of 1 to 9 footprints, 9 being the highest, we give this an 8 feet rating.

Wouter De Backer (Gotye). I hate to consider myself falling in with the crowd, but something about his hit "Somebody That I Used to Know" is just unique and never gets old. After doing some reading on De Backer, I began to find him more fascinating. He seems to have been becoming somewhat of a local celebrity in Australia with his earlier music, but he hit the jackpot in the US with "Somebody....". His other music is very original and he has a flair for expressing his music in his videos.

Neko Case & Her Boyfriends - Furnace Room Lullaby I love Neko's music! These album covers are disappointing.
Neko Case & Her Boyfriends - Furnace Room Lullabye: Neko Case is one of the most amazing and powerful female vocalists since Aretha Franklin. She was a punk-rock drummer, but she decided to record Alt Country after she needed to express her feelings after a difficult breakup. This stuff is alternately bratty, heartbreaking, and occasionally horror-movie dark. South Tacoma Way might be the most thrilling ode to that Pacific NW town ever.

Ray lamontange - you are the best thing
First Dance Songs You are the Best Thing- Ray LaMontagne. This was on my recessional song list, but it was actually my first dance song! My husband and I listened to this song a lot when we first started dating and would tell each other all the time that "you are the best thing in my life". It was the perfect fit for our day :) I Won't Give Up- Jason Mraz. A slow dance, I Won't Give Up is the perfect song for your first dance, summarizing the commitment of marriage. Marry Me- Train. Another great slow dance song, Marry Me speaks for itself. I Can't Help Falling in Love with You- Ingrid Michaelson. This cover of Elvis Presley's popular song will serenade you as you dance with your sweetheart. Forever Like That- Ben Rector. I love this song from Ben Rector's newest album! Mother/Son Dance Songs And I Love Her- The Beatles. My husband used this song for his dance with his mom at our wedding. It was so special for them because it was the same song his mom and dad danced to at their wedding! Over the Rainbow- Harry Nillson. This version of Over the Rainbow is from the movie You've Got Mail and is lovely for a dance with your mother. What a Wonderful World- Louis Armstrong. Mother/son dances are hard to pick songs for, but What a Wonderful World is a classic song that makes the list. Moon River- Audrey Hepburn. If you're looking for something a little bit different but still sweet, Moon River by Audrey Hepburn is it. L-O-V-E- Nat King Cole. Another classic, L-O-V-E will make your mother/son song a little more upbeat and fun. Father/Daughter Dance Songs Sweet Pea- Amos Lee. A cute, fun song that is perfect for your father/daughter dance! Isn't She Lovely Cover- Pixie Lott. A friend of my husband's recorded a version of this song for my father/daughter dance and it was perfect :) Hank- Ben Rector. A little more sentimental, Ben Rector hits the love of parents just right with this song. You could even use this as a double dance song (mother/son and father/daughter)! Cinderella- Steven Curtis Chapman. Bring on the tears. Cinderella will have everyone crying while you dance with your dad. The Way you Look Tonight- Frank Sinatra. And of course, I can't resist a good classic to throw into the list! Choosing songs for your wedding day is incredibly personal. I hope my posts of songs have given you some ideas for your wedding, but what I really hope is that you take time to pick songs that are truly special to YOU, not just because they are on a list of what you should play. For processional song ideas, go to my other blog posts here or here. For recessional song ideas, check out my post here. What special songs did you use for your day?

Iran Sanctions Lifted As Nuclear Deal Implemented, US Hostages Freed
#ImplementationDay--I thank God for this blessing & bow to the greatness of the patient nation of Iran. Congrats on this glorious victory!
— Hassan Rouhani (@HassanRouhani) January 16, 2016
U.S. + EU will begin lifting nuclear-related sanctions, expanding the horizon of opportunity for the Iranian people.
— John Kerry (@JohnKerry) January 16, 2016
Today marks the moment the #IranDeal has transitioned from ambitious promises on paper to measurable actions in practice.
— John Kerry (@JohnKerry) January 16, 2016
We're getting to #ImplementationDay. Nothing serious. Diplomacy requires patience, but we all know that it sure beats the alternatives.
— Javad Zarif (@JZarif) January 16, 2016
Just days after two US Navy boats and ten sailors were seized at Farsi Island ahead of President Obama's state-of-the-union address and just days before Tehran will see international sanctions lifted as part of the "historic" nuclear accord, four US hostages have been freed in a prisoner swap between Washington and Tehran.
Among the detainees is Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian who was famously held for spying after being convicted in a shadowy trial last year and faced up to 20 years in an Iranian prison.
According to FARS, Iran also freed Marine veteran Amir Hekmati and Christian pastor Saeed Abedini, who had been held on a variety of charges.
"All four are duel U.S.-Iranian citizens, according to the semiofficial Mehr and Fars news agencies," WaPo notes, adding that "news of the exchange came as world leaders converged [in Vienna] on Saturday in anticipation of the end of international sanctions against Iran in exchange for significantly curtailing its nuclear program."
Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was brimming with optimism when he arrived [in Vienna] earlier in the day and met with Federica Mogherini, the European Union's foreign policy chief," WaPo says.
"This is a good day for the Iranian people . . . and for the world," Zarif proclaimed. "What is going to happen today is proof . . . that major problems in the world could be tackled through dialogue, not threats, pressures and sanctions."
"International sanctions on Iran will be lifted on Saturday when the United Nations nuclear agency declares Tehran has complied with an agreement to scale back its nuclear program," Reuters writes, adding that "'implementation day' of the nuclear deal agreed last year marks the biggest re-entry of a former pariah state onto the global economic stage since the end of the Cold War, and a turning point in the hostility between Iran and the United States that has shaped the Middle East since 1979."
The IAEA is reportedly set to issue a report that confirms Iran has complied with its commitments under the agreement struck last summer. That report will trigger the lifting of sanctions and the return of Iran to the world stage. A joint statement is expected later today.
This comes as US lawmakers push for fresh sanctions on Tehran in connection with two ballistic missile tests the Iranians carried out in October and November, and just weeks after an "incident" in the Strait of Hormuz saw the IRGC conduct a live-fire rocket test within 1,500 yards of a US aircraft carrier.
The deal has ruffled more than a few feathers in Riyadh, where the P5+1 agreement has stoked fears that America's rapprochement with the Iranians marks a shift in US Mid-East policy that could endanger the regional balance of power at a time when relations between the Sunni and Shiite powers have deteriorated markedly. As an aside, Zarif is trolling the Saudis on Twitter as we speak:
#ImplementationDay, it's now time for all—especially Muslim nations—to join hands and rid the world of violent extremism. Iran is ready.
— Javad Zarif (@JZarif) January 16, 2016
Summing up Saturday's proceedings in Vienna:
* * *
From FARS
"Based on an approval of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) and the general interests of the Islamic Republic, four Iranian prisoners with dual-nationality were freed today within the framework of a prisoner swap deal," the office of Tehran prosecutor said.
Jason Rezaian, Amir Hekmat, Saeed Abedini and a fourth American-Iranian national who were jailed in Iran on various charges in recent years have all been released.
According o the swap deal, the US has also freed 6 Iranian-Americans who were held for sanctions-related charges..
A senior Iranian legislator citing an IRGC report on Rezaian's case said in October that he has been imprisoned for his attempts to help the US Senate to advance its regime change plots in Iran.
In late July 2014, Iran confirmed that four journalists, including Washington Post correspondent Jason Rezaian, had been arrested and were being held for questioning.
Rezaian's wife Yeganeh Salehi, a correspondent for the United Arab Emirates-based newspaper, the National, was also arrested at that time, but she and two others were released later.
According to the Constitution, the Judiciary is independent from the government in Iran.
Some reports earlier this year had spoken of a potential prisoner swap between Iran and US following the Vienna nuclear deal in July.

Great, another reporter-spy can now again report on the news for the NWO mouthpiece Washington Post.
North American Liberals and especially Millennials....careful what you wish for...
USSA is now friendly w/ IRAN and turning on its M E brother Saudi Arabia.
"Enemy of my enemy is my friend"
Money (see OIL) buys you 'friendship'
The story about the Iranians aggressively intercepting the US troops on the two vessels has turned out to be BS as expected. The US DOD has stated that the vessels did not break down and they were not lost. They deliberately entered Iranian territorial waters.
"According to the Constitution, the Judiciary is independent from the government in Iran."
Sure, just like here in the US. And just as true as here in the US.
wrong thread
This article is stupid. Headline might as well read US Frees Iranian Hostages In Trade For Convicts. Yes, it would a propagandic headline remain, still closer to accurate.
Article is just cheap propaganda, US style.
And Washington Post did cut back on proofsreaders or genuinely not knows duel from dual? Djeee, even Iranian media correctly used.
Before all is said and done the liberal lefties in the USA who eternally declared themselves athiest with force will declare themselves devout (believing) muslims.
"They deliberately entered Iranian territorial waters"
Really? Did you see the pictures of the captured sailors/marines? Not exactly "high-speed operators".
The story, as initially reported, is definitely bullshit, but it's hard to believe you'd send a riverine craft into the open waters of the gulf with a bunch of low-speed personnel on board to "penetrate" Farsi Island.
Most likely this was gross incompetence of some sort-- incompetence that was so embarrasing that the facts were distorted at every communication step up up the chain of command, such that by the time it got to the White House, the message was complete bullshit. Kind of like a game of telephone.
After seven years of Obama, isn't this exactly how you'd expect our military to work? Every competent officer down to O5 has been purged by now, leaving us with careerists and politically correct dopes.
Even the comunists had the good sense to keep the line officers and the commissars on separate tracks. Thanks Obama!
It was absolutely intentional.
Presumably the hope was iran would shoot or at least detain the crew for weeks so the neocons could continue their warmongering propaganda.
Greenwald deftly points out how much the neocons, mostly israel firster jewish zionists (just a coincidence, surely) strained themselves trying to make iran the villain.
There is no gross incompetence allowed in that area of operation. Were it one boat, you could make a plausible 'shit happens' case.
Not two boats like that, not timed when it was, and not in that spot.
It was a us government lousy with Israel Firsters and sayanim trying to provoke a war.
Which is their m.o.
Intentional? Yes. But what was the intention?
Iran's very quick "you'll have them back in 24 hours..." is not indicative of serious interrogation, investigation, or humiliation.
Diplomacy is the antithesis of the neocon way.
The navy guy who apologizes in the video is Lt. Dave Narker,27,a navy academy graduate, according to Washington Times
Lt. Nice...
Two points here.
1. We do not know whether it was intentional.
2. Dual citizenship will be the destruction of the US Republic as well as other Western Democracies. Humans are not built on having divided loyaltiesand almost all do not have divided loyalties. Most will retain their loaytiy to their native born country. History is a testament to that reality.
Your point on neocons is correct. The same can be said of the millions of Islamic invaders currently overunning Europe. The same ca also be said for the 30 million Mexicans and Central Americans invading the United States,
There were not lost. There was no mechanical problem with the vessels. They had working navigation equipment. The know (or better know) territorial limits. They made no attaempt to request transit permssion from the Iranians. They were armed.
Deliberate act or incompetence? Which do you prefer?
A lot of truth to those statements, but I still lean towards this being deliberate. The inclusion of a woman on the team is the sealer for me. It was clear she was there for extra sympathy when the team was inevitably killed/captured/raped. Same for the rest of the... possibly less than average IQ teammates. Mere sacrificial pawns in a last ditch effort to start a war.
Unfortunately for the morons-in-charge the Iranians are clearly the superior game-players and they refused to fall for the trap. They seized the vessels rather than blow them up (the Pentagon thinks the Iranians are as stupid as the Turks). Then they treated the POWs exceedingly well and returned them fairly quickly, but not before extracting a bit of tribute.
Overall the US lost 2 boats, some bags of cash, and a ton of international respect. The Iranians got even more concessions and a air of legitimacy unparalleled since the times of Ancient Persia.
But yes, the gutting of the officer class in our military is directly responsible. Only morons would have tried this gambit in the first place. And morons are our chief export these days.
Is this story (admittedly from 2011) for real?

Wapo is totally (shamelessly) a CIA-Moosad agent outfit.
But upon reflection, I don't know any other pseudo reporters in the main stream nor in the alt media that aren't.
Even before Jewffery Bezos bought it, the WaPo was more Jew than the Jew York Times.
So hostage-taking works.
Message received!
Should have been told return ASAP or your country becomes a parking lot!
always the US/West gives up more than it receives: in this case, 4 to us, 6 to them...and there is dismissal by the Left that we project weakness?...
Your math is off... ...more like 12 to the US (10 navy + 4 dual citizens) and 6 to Iran. Sort of opens the door to a whole different line of subterfuge behind the recent "incident", given that the possibility of a "prisoner swap" between Iran and the US has been floated around for months, but dual-citizens create "optics" issues for any swap, when they are citizens (property) of the governments on both sides of the transaction...
Everyone (sort of) saves face, or appears to cave (less) to the other side...
Way off topic, but here's a little something for our resident BitCoin fans to chew on: http://mashable.com/2016/01/15/bitcoin-failure/
Saudi Arabia and Iran being shoved closer to war.
Qui bono?
Ultimately it will not end with those two nations. The Sunni - Shia devide has been itching for a final fight throught the centuries. The fight for oil dominance, which lies in primarily Shia countries, is just the icing on the cake.
The Saudi (royal) regime's days are numbered. And now that Iran is out of the int'l trade doghouse, the over/under on the House of Saud is probably a matter of months rather than years, IMO.
It may not end w/ Iran(Shia) vs. Arabia(Sunni+Wahhabi), but I honestly can't foresee any scenario (looking forward) wherein these two somehow avoid a messy & bloody conflict - with plenty of unpredictable proxy/peripheral consequences - and I expect it will happen VERY soon after the Saudi regime falls...
The obvious follow-up question becomes which side the West (US & Europe) supports in such a conflict (and just how tangible that support would be). The obvious answer is no longer obvious, IMO. And we all know which side Russia will support, which makes things very dicey indeed...
I'd love to see/hear opinions of others here who've been to the ME region recently & have add'l experience/knowledge to add...
ain't it nice for iran to have an iranian named jarrett in the whitehouse
Nice as Arizona has Panamanian senator in US Senate.
If ever visiting reality, might want to note the Jarrett woman descended from Chicago political/crime family and not Iranian.
Iran not deserve being cheapened by fictious association with Chicago criminal.
Iran wants their $150,000,000,000 that Obama/Kerry is going to give them. They don't want anything to get in the way of that.
So lets see.. Obama gives Iran $150 billion, and allows ISIS to get rich selling oil. You have to wonder where his loyalties are.
This is a horseshit neocon talking point. No one is giving Iran $.
As it is iran is sanctioned for doing what it is legally entitled to do, while israel, which has hundredsmof nukes, is not sanctined ever for egregious war crimes, violations of conditins of its admission to the in, violations of the geneva conventions, apartheid colonialism, etc.
Iran still doesnt have nukes. Despite 20 years of claims they were months away by Israel and its amen corner
Nutty yahoo was real sure about iraq working on nukes and other goodies which they were nOt in fact working on. By the way that 'reactor' israel bombed? Absolutely zero evidence it was desogned or intended to produce weapons grade material - so said both us
And in inspectors in 2004.
and having every reason to want them given historical is, uk, and israeli aggression against them
Youre right on isis - but thats because isis is a zionist proxy...
Iran has had nukes for years; who do you think funded the Pakistani nuclear efforts? In that sense, the sanctions are indeed a joke.
I don't necessarily blame 0bama for negotiating with Iran to end the sanctions, which are a charade; what I do blame him for is getting absolutely nothing back in return. The "deal" is so one-sided, you really have to wonder which side 0bama is actually on.
so does israel dickhead
The USA gave Pakistan some $10 Billion USD to "fight terrorism", which Pakistan used to cover the cost of developing the nukes, plus they sold the technology to help North Korea develop nukes.
And evidence you have for these phantom atom bombs?
No, did not think so...
"who do you think funded the Pakistani nuclear efforts?"
The US/UK handed nukes+technology to Pakistan. Get your facts straight.
So, what is your most fervent view? Are your pro Iran or against Israel?
His loyalties are to the persian-speaking Valerie Jarrett.
Persians speak Farsi, not 'persian'.
Iran wants their $150,000,000,000"
A true statement. Is their money all along, US government forced banks to disallow Iran access to accounts.
"So lets see.. Obama gives Iran $150 billion"
Bzzzzzzt, wrong. Nobody any money gives them. Removal of fraudulous sanctions allows them accounts to access.
"Hostages"? Is Jonathan Pollard a "hostage"? You need to check yourselves, "Tyler"s. You hate Obama so much you embarrass yourself here, as Iran is the only area Obama has gotten it right. Your new Saudi friends will be happy to have you tied down and do to you as they do to their goats, before having you beheaded for not showing sufficient pleasure.
