Israel: the Logic of a Settler State
Posted by John, November 19th, 2012 - under Gaza, Genocide, Israel, Palestine, Settler state, Zionism.
Let us not today fling accusations at the murderers. Who are we that we should argue against their hatred? For eight years now, they sit in their refugee camps in Gaza and, before their very eyes we turn into our homestead the land and the villages in which they and their forefathers have lived. We are a generation of settlers, and without the steel helmet and the cannon we cannot plant a tree and build a home. Let us not shrink back when we see the hatred fermenting and filling the lives of hundreds of thousands of Arabs, who sit all around us. Let us not avert our gaze, so that our hand shall not slip. This is the fate of our generation, the choice of our life – to be prepared and armed, strong and tough – or otherwise, the sword will slip from our fist, and our life will be snuffed out.
– Moshe Dayan, 1956.(1)
This land absorbs the skins of martyrs.
This land promises wheat and stars.
Worship it!
We are its salt and its water.
We are its wound, but a wound that fights.
– Mahmoud Darwish, "Diary of a Palestinian Wound" (1969)
While every conflict has its specificities, it is impossible to understand the nature and trends of the Israeli state without an understanding of the greater logic of which it is but one example argues Matthijs Krul in his Notes and Commentaries. What I mean by this is this: Israel is the most recent and thereby the most contradictory example of the logic of settlerism, of the settler state as a phenomenon in capitalist history. All capitalist states have certain attributes necessary for the expansion and reproduction of the capital relation, such as limitations on workers' freedom and mobility, a military-industrial complex, territoriality, and enforcement of exploitative relations of production, but settler states are a specific social formation of these that go over and beyond capitalist 'normality'. The settler state is, in this sense, the most complete and pure outward appearance of the capital-state relationship. When successful, its natural ideology is that of an expansionist, self-confident liberalism; when threatened, its natural ideology is fascism.
The settler state distinguishes itself from the 'normal' forms of appearance of the capital-state relationship in several ways. First, that it is a state which even in its historical, embryonic form is already capitalist, and does not have the inheritance of the 'muck of ages' of absolutism, feudalism, and so forth. Second, it involves the voluntary transfer of a people from elsewhere into a given land, whether already occupied or not, which in so doing establishes a new social formation both separate from and against the existing one of the settled land. Thirdly, the necessary result of the combination of these factors is the demographic principle of the settler state: its very existence stands or falls by the numerical presence of the settler population as against the tally of the original population(s), as these become, by the very act of the settlement itself, the respective bearers of their social formation in them. In other words, the reproduction of the social formation of the settler society is, as with all societies, dependent on the reproduction of its population; but this principle is elevated to a higher level in the settler society, because rather than the reproduction of the population being the reproduction of the different classes and the whole ensemble of the historical heritage of that particular people, the reproduction of the population takes on a competitive form in and of itself. It is measured not in the ability to reproduce the working class per se, but in the ability to reproduce the settlers over and against the 'natives', whoever they may be.
This leads to the fourth principle, which is that the logic of the settler state is therefore necessarily racial and expansionist. Racial, because the settler society reproduces its social formation as a whole, and thereby subsumes its class differences into an artificial unity generated not by the process of nation-building within a given territory, as in the case of the traditional bourgeois process, but by the processes of demographic-military competition with the 'native' population, a competition fought out on all physical fronts. This inherently racializes the relationship between the settler population and the 'natives', as every settler, regardless of their class, is a guarantee of the survival of a social formation in a territory where this is under threat as a whole; it thereby becomes a question not of class against class, but of people against people, of a struggle over physicality and territoriality rather than over the process of economic production and distribution within the social formation. This is a wholly regressive and vicious throwback to the worst instincts and group behaviors of humanity.
It is also for this reason necessarily expansionist; not just because of the often limited number of settlers in the first periods of the settlement, and the sense of constant danger of extinction by the 'native' population, but more importantly because the only possible guarantee for the normalization of the social formation, the eradication of its bad conscience and its sense of 'having survived', rests ultimately in the destruction of the 'native' population and their rival social formation. Moreover, the struggle against this latter people or peoples itself perpetuates the artificial, racialized unity among the settlers themselves, and is thereby a welcome mechanism for externalizing and staving off the inevitable internal class conflicts the process of normalization entails. Therefore, the logic of the settler state necessarily and inherently contains within itself a drive towards the total fragmentation of the 'native' populations and the dissolution of their social bonds, if not their physical extermination as such – in other words, settlerism always means a logic of 'ethnic cleansing'.
It is not difficult to find in history examples that underline the argument made here, and to demonstrate the particularity of this form of the capital-state relation in the modern world. In the case of the settlement of America, it has often been observed how the British upper class' refusal to allow settlement to follow its expansionist course beyond the Appalachians was a major factor in the rebellion of the colonists. Indeed, the very same revolution in the United States which inaugurated the great bourgeois revolutionary upheavals of the modern era was an unmitigated disaster for the various indigenous peoples of what is now the USA, as their very physical existence came constantly and repeatedly in contradiction with the logic of American settlerism. The results are well known, and even now, the American counties with large native 'reservations' on them are the poorest in the country and have worse social statistics than many developing countries. In Canada and Australia the story was much the same, and in Australia perhaps most genocidal in its completeness, given the very low level of technological development of the various Aboriginal peoples compared to the 'natives' elsewhere; whereas in New Zealand the high level of military organization of the Maori and the lower number of settlers had a mildly dampening effect on the full consummation of settlerism. In all these cases, the racial factor was immediately evident from the start and has been since, and in all these cases there has been a clear political economic reality of 'race burning class', as J. Sakai put it.
Of course, the various practices and details of the settler logic vary from place to place according to the historical circumstances. In South Africa, the settlers being perpetually a small minority compared to the various indigenous peoples, especially after the completion of the Bantu migrations, compelled a policy of apartheid – a system in which the racially oppressed black workforce were to be kept separate and confined from the white population, lest they overcome them or destroy by 'dilution' the demographic basis of their social formation. It was not realistically possible for the native populations to be physically destroyed or fully ethnically cleansed from the majority of the territory, and this made the apartheid system a logical result – at least from the point of view of the settlers. (There were of course rules for 'coloreds', the Indian population etc., but these do not affect the larger picture.) The United States had the 'peculiar institution' of slavery, and imported a great number of involuntary migrants, which created in effect a double settler state with two parallel racialized social formations, one historically progressive and industrial and one historically regressive and agrarian. The inevitable conflict between these was fought out in the American Civil War, with known results. But it should then come as no surprise that the settler logic of society re-established itself with vicious vigor almost immediately afterwards, and the potential for its destruction through radical Reconstruction was quickly lost.
In Israel, the logic of the settler state expresses itself in its most virulent forms. Firstly, the Zionist project of the settlement and colonization of Palestine is a unified whole, as all settlerism must be for it to not collapse under its contradictions. It therefore makes no difference whether it applies to Hebron or to Tel Aviv, in this regard, as in all circumstances the definite characteristics of the settler state described above are in operation and must be in operation. The artificial unity is present in the militarist-racial structure of Israeli society, in particular in its universal conscription, and in the very knowledge that even the continued existence of Arab place-names is a threat to the 'only democracy in the Middle East'. Its expansionism is clear and obvious. From its modest beginnings the Israeli state has through perpetual war and ethnic cleansing swollen beyond any of its original territorial claims, and it shows no signs whatever of stopping. Its apartheid system expresses the racialization and the demographic factor clearly, and so does the constant talk of the 'demographic threat', the refusal to allow any Palestinian right of return and the open talk of deportations and ethnic cleansing, the secular political trend against socio-economic and internal class struggle and towards externalization in the form of further expansion and aggrandizement speak clear language.
Israel here has the misfortune of being the newest settler state, and so its victims can learn from history, even if its own settler population cannot. The very notion of a 'two state solution' with its own Arab Palestinian 'natives' is a risible one given the parallels between the Israeli consideration of Palestinian treaties and Palestinian land claims and the American treatment of the same relations with the various Native tribes, all of whom eventually ended up in open-air prisons called reservations. Indeed, Gaza, presently being bombed to smithereens, is nothing if not a 'reservation' of this type. But the Palestinians are not the only 'natives' victimized by settlerism: Israel treats its Druze and Bedouin populations no better, and regardless of the willingness of Druze to serve in its military, they have been systematically expropriated. It is worth noting that the willingness of settlerism to destroy any social formation opposing it on its physical-territorial domain of expansion finds its parallel in its willingness to accept any kind of settler as long as they are willing to underwrite the racial-settler system: one can look here at the history of the Irish and Italian migrants to the US, but even in the case of Israel there have been many Russian, Indian, even Peruvian migrant settlers accepted into the Israeli polity as 'returning Jews' whose Jewish identity was deeply spurious or nonexistent.
It is no coincidence that as Israel has become stronger and its logic has expressed itself more fully, it has become ever more fascist and less concerned even with formal equality and democracy – as shown most recently by the restrictive laws forbidding even the commemoration of the Naqba (the original ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians), the exclusion of anti-Zionist groups from parliamentary representation, and the unification between Likud and the fascist organization of Avigdor Lieberman. As I have argued, this trend of the capital-state relation to move away from formal liberalism and into a fascist siege mentality is characteristic of a settler state frustrated in its normalization process. For settler states, this normalization process can only occur on the basis of the destruction of the social formation of its rivals, of the original inhabitants; the US and Australia only even considered reforming the racial ladder system after their physical-demographic security as a settler state and their destruction of all rival social formations was complete. So it is with Israel also, and therefore Israel as a state does not and cannot want peace, whatever individuals within it may fervently hope.
Of course, this analysis is not to claim that such a logic develops wholly on its own, or that there is no agency on the part of the Other to which the settler state opposes itself. Indeed, the civil rights struggle in the United States and the campaigns for recognition on the part of the First Nations in Canada were major and inspirational examples of revolutionary organization on the part of oppressed groups, and it is equally no coincidence that such groups became more radicalized against the whole structure of the racialized capital-state relation of their settler societies as they struggled against them. The Palestinian cause has rightly taken inspiration from these examples, as well as from the resistance against the slightly different settler structure of northern Ireland, and it has in turn become a major emancipatory force of its own.
This is also why it is irredeemably silly when people point to the Palestinian struggle and ask why it garners so much attention and passion compared to the many struggles worldwide, whether in West Papua, in Syria, in Brazil or in Sudan. What such smug distraction misses is the essential role of the struggle against the settler logic. It is not a contingency of history that the US and Israel are so closely connected in alliance that there is 'no daylight between them'. On the contrary. The hegemonic United States is a settler society and Israel is the only social formation of a similar type planted, in the decolonizing period of modern history, in the middle of the periphery (for want of a better term) and in a land of great religious significance at that. Therefore, much more than all the other such sites of struggle, Israel is a cornerstone of the political world-system. The struggle against Israel is therefore not just a question of the emancipation of the Palestinians, but it is a struggle against settler logic altogether, and through this, a struggle against the political manifestation of the current world order. This makes it a crucial site in the perpetuation of the imperialism of the West as well as in the 'containment' of global revolutionary and emancipatory struggles, and this gives it its particular significance.
It is also for this reason that any attempt at a 'two state solution' is not just inadequate and impossible, given what has been said about the inherent logic of settler states, but is actively reactionary compared to the enormous victory for revolutionary forces a unified Palestine would be. A single Palestine on the basis of secularism, democracy, and socialism would be transformed from a cornerstone of the capitalist-imperialist world order into a cornerstone of an emancipatory one. The prerequisite for this possibility is the defeat of Israel as a Zionist entity, the defeat of its inherent settler logic (and Zionism is historically just one example of settlerist ideology), and thereby the dissolution of its current social formation into one that is not irredeemably anti-emancipatory. There can be no 'Zionist left', no 'liberal Zionism', and so forth, for such propositions are incompatible with the practical logic of the settler state. The concept of Israel must die so that a Palestine may live for Jews and Arabs, Druze and Bedouin alike.

Did you know John that Australia is a settler state? I presume a Passant arrived here from somewhere else, unless you are Aboriginal? And the land the Passant's stole, what about that? Is your house not built on the bones of the genocide of Aboriginal people? Are you not thriving on the land of people your forebears killed, even indirectly?
So please, you European land stealers, you usurpers, you killers of Aboriginies – go back to where you came from.
There is a one-state solution to Australia though John – those who came here and stole the land and killed the people should be defeated and the land returned to the traditional owners.
The settlers, the Europeans, the migrants, they should go back to their place of origin.
Staying here perpetuates genocide.
I don't own land and I am not an Australian citizen, so I can make these statements. I will go back to my country, which didn't kill its own people and pretend its not a settler state.
But of course, being a middle-class Canberra Marxist doesn't mean actually doing anything active, like not living in a settler state, not feeding off the genocide, not exploiting capiatalist bank loans and mortgages and foreign made clothing and technology invented by Zionists, it just means typing out more bile for your crackpot followers
Sadly John, you lack the courage to stand at elections and see how accepted your hatred and jealousy is.
If you were an honest chap, you'd stand at the next federal election for the Senate. You'd contest your views. But that reality is a bridge too far, i suspect.

Actually Gary/Greg, NTEU branch secretary or whoever you are today, and leaving aside your usual ignorance, if you even read any of my articles on indigenous Australians you will see I do agree and argue we are a settler state. But I guess even that simple research is beyond you.
My articles for example on the police and media attacks on the Aboriginal Tent Embassy demo might have told you what i think. And yes I do think the indigenous people have never ceded sovereignty and a treaty is needed, as I argued for 15 minutes on that abysmal David Oldfield morning program on Sydney radio after the so-called 'riot'. Funny, I didn't see you at the demo, but that might just be because you have multiple personas.
I see the need to build a vibrant revolutionary left to challenge the ideas of the state and capital. It doesn't matter who runs the capitalist state – with Labor or the Liberals in charge it is still a capitalist state, and nothing much will change for example for Aboriginal people or refugees, or workers or Australia at war.
Electing me would not make a great difference to the lives of most indigenous peoples because the power of the capitalist state exists to run or manage capitalism, not to challenge it. It might give a focus and an aid for their struggle for sovereignty.
On top of that, as I have pointed out numerous times, I would receive few votes in the current climate. I might consider running if society were to shift to the Left and use standing as way of attracting more people to the revolutionary left. And if elected I wouldn't be playing parliamentary games but using my position as 'radical station', helping workers on strike fight for better wages, conditions, safety, assisting indigenous people in their fight for a better life, unions, activist groups fighting for equal pay, equal love, refugees, and so on.
We are building the equal love campaign. One of our members won an award from the gay and lesbian community for her work on that campaign. Again I don't remember seeing you at any of the demos, but maybe you were in one of your other personas. We are fighting for and demonstrating for refugees. Again, I don't remember seeing you there, but maybe you were in one of your other personas.
We were at the CFMEU picket of the ASIO building. Again I don't remember seeing you there, but maybe you were in one of your other personas.
One of my comrades won an ASU award for her work in the union and building her workplace.
Can I just suggest, before you launch into attacks on me and think you are so clever with your facile and always incorrect comments on what I am about, you actually read what I have written on the subject?
The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions campaign by the way is attempting to ring fence apartheid Israel so maybe you should join instead of cheap and incorrect shots about Israeli technology. Did you read for example my article on Boycotting Better Place? Nah, didn't think so.
729 is the code for Israeli goods in supermarkets.
You hide behind fake names and accuse me of cowardice. Grow up little man.

Traffic accidents have many causes
SIKESTON -- With the weather warming up and summer creeping around the corner, many people will occupy the highways over the next couple of months. Whether traveling with family, friends or alone, there are a few, basic safety tips that every driver and passenger should be aware of.
Sgt. Brent Davis of the Missouri State Highway Patrol said it's hard to determine when traffic accidents will occur.
"Obviously with more traffic, there are going to be more fatalities," Davis said. "I was surprised that we didn't have as many deaths as we usually day on Memorial Day weekend this year. Normally between 12 and 16 people are killed statewide on that holiday. Last weekend, I think two people died from traffic accidents."
Davis said there are a number of issues to be concerned about when traveling. One of these issues is for drivers to make sure they are mentally and physically prepared to drive, Davis said.
"Some people think, 'It's only an 11-hour drive,' but they've worked all day long," Davis said. "Then they decide to travel after work and through the night when they probably aren't in the best state of mind."
Drivers might think they have good cars or that they can just set their cruise control if they're tired, but these aren't logical reasons, Davis said. Instead, drivers should make other people drive and stop often to keep the blood circulating, he advised.
Davis said four major reasons exist as causes of most traffic accidents, with the most popular being inattentiveness, Davis said. The other main causes are speeding, not wearing seat belts and drinking and driving.
A common habit of some drivers is to "drink two or three beers" while enduring a long drive and "it'll be all right", but Davis warns those drivers that it's not all right for them to do.
"When you drink alcohol, speech is slurred and reaction time slows down," Davis explained. "Each drink heeds toward that feeling and judgment is impaired."
Once on the highway, other things can happen as well. Aggressive drivers who want to play vehicle tag shouldn't receive a response from other drivers. Rather than playing along with the game, Davis recommends not making eye contact with the other driver and to pull off to the first public place available to leave the aggressive driver ahead.
If for some reason a traveler's car breaks down, Davis suggests staying with the vehicle and don't get in another vehicle even if "someone looks like they mean well." Many car troubles like flat tires and running out of gas are preventable, Davis said.
The American Automobile Association (AAA) recommends a few helpful hints to ensure safety for travelers. Before leaving, drivers should ask their mechanic to check their vehicle's systems such as fluid levels, belts, hoses and tires. Next, AAA suggests that drivers read their map beforehand so they know where they're going and how they'll get there.
After travelers make it safely to their destination, Davis offers a few suggestions for staying in motels. "Motels are the favorite place for thugs to rob people," he said. "If someone you aren't expecting knocks on your room door, don't answer the door. Call the front desk and ask if they sent someone up."
Davis also said everyone should keep their car doors locked and to not leave things lying around where they can be seen by other people. If these things aren't done, people are just inviting others to steal their belongings, he said.
One more reminder rounds off Davis' list of traveling safety tips. "Wear your seat belt," Davis said. "Almost never is someone who is killed in an automobile accident wearing his seat belt. It really does save lives."

After 17 competitive fixtures in charge of his new team Liverpool, manager Brendan Rodgers faces up to the club he left in the summer for the first time. as Liverpool host Swansea City in the League Cup fourth round at Anfield.
Coming after a typically fast-paced Merseyside derby and just a few days before the Reds receive Newcastle United in the Premier League, some changes in playing personnel are likely for Liverpool but both manager and fans alike will expect the game to be one the home side can win, regardless of the starting XI.
Liverpool have not just a game to win on this occasion, but also a trophy to defend; the Reds are the current League Cup holders following their Wembley triumph last season and, as holders, will be a big target for every team to beat.
Several factors could come into play for both teams to see what the outcome of the match will be. Liverpool will start as favourites as the home side, but Swansea are not to be lightly dismissed.

The now-Liverpool boss spent two seasons in Wales as manager of the Swans, leading them to immediate promotion to the Premier League.
Last season as the first non-English side in the Premiership, Swansea finished in 11th place and plenty of neutrals enjoyed their brand of attacking and possession-based football, a trait of the manager that ultimately saw him identified as the man Liverpool wanted to take them forward.
Swansea also lost midfielder Joe Allen to the Reds and wide forward Scott Sinclair to Manchester City; much of the final third of the pitch this season is unrecognisable from the team which did so well a year ago.
Michu, Ki Sung-Yueng and Pablo Hernandez now grace the field in a largely new-look front-six for the Swans, with Danny Graham and Leon Britton also not playing as pivotal a role as they did last season.
Though Michael Laudrup was brought in to continue rather than re-vamp the work of Rodgers, it is unquestionably a Swansea side with something of a new identity this year—and so is Liverpool, the team now almost unrecognisable to the one the Welsh side prevented from scoring in two games last season.
Liverpool's team
The last midweek fixture saw Liverpool take advantage of having consecutive home matches, and the same sequence is applicable here; following the home tie against Swansea, Liverpool are also at home to Newcastle next weekend.
As a result, Brendan Rodgers may select a stronger League Cup squad than normal, though he is also almost certain to allow a few fringe players more game time after leaving the likes of Sebastian Coates and Jordan Henderson on the sidelines last week.
Both players appeared as substitutes in the Merseyside derby.
Pepe Reina faces a battle to win back his place in goal after Brad Jones performed largely impressively in his run of three games, so Rodgers has a decision to make—does Jones, who played in the third round and who would be the expected League Cup goalkeeper, play a fourth match in a row? Or does Reina get a chance to show better form than prior to his injury, and a chance to win back his place ahead of the next league fixture?
With Luis Suarez as the only fit forward, and by far Liverpool's biggest goalscoring threat of the season, Rodgers must also carefully decide if he is fit enough to play a fourth game in 11 days, since playing at altitude in La Paz, Bolivia, and still have enough left in the tank to play a prominent role against Newcastle afterwards.
Liverpool and the League Cup
League Cup, Capital One Cup, call it what you want—Liverpool are the reigning holders of the trophy, which they won for a record eighth time last season.
Silverware wasn't enough to save Kenny Dalglish's job last year, but it remains the staple on which success is ultimately judged over time and Rodgers will want to get his first trophy up in the cabinet as soon as he can.
Should the Reds triumph over Swansea, they will already be through to the last eight of a competition that they will feel they have a good chance of retaining.
Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United are all still in the competition and provide big opposition to any trophy, but those latter two play each other and both London sides are facing away fixtures against Premier League opponents.
The route to silverware could well be open from the quarterfinals onwards, making victory in this game important for the future as well as the present.
Possible lineups
Liverpool should be able to field a relatively strong lineup even if two or three big names are rested. The emergence of some talented youngsters leaves a few seniors needing game time, and Rodgers should be able to find room on the bench for maybe another starlet to be in line for a taste of first-team action.
4-2-1-3: Reina; Johnson, Coates, Carragher, Robinson; Henderson, Sahin; Shelvey; Downing, Yesil, Assaidi.
Who will emerge triumphant in this League Cup fixture?
Swansea will prioritise the home league weekend game against Chelsea, but that doesn't mean Laudrup will change his entire XI. It is already certain, though, that backup goalkeeper Gerhard Tremmel will get a chance, after Michel Vorm injured himself at the weekend. Angel Rangel is also suspended.
4-2-3-1: Tremmel; Tate, Williams, Chico, Davies; Ki, Agustien; Dyer, Michu, Routledge; Graham.
Scoreline prediction
Liverpool should have enough at home to keep their unbeaten run going and progress into the quarterfinals—stopping Swansea doing so for the first time in their history in the process.
A 2-0 Liverpool victory for Brendan Rodgers against his old side.

The intent of the RFQ was to develop a short list of interested and qualified development teams to be invited to submit full proposals. Seven RFQ responses were received on February 15th and were evaluated by a team of City staff and commercial real estate professionals.
Full proposals from the three invited teams will be due to the City on May 30. The review team will evaluate the three proposals and make a recommendation to Council by July 12th with which team, if any, the City should enter into negotiations with for sale and redevelopment of the site.
The City envisions a final project that provides new economic opportunities for residents of the City and region. The City wishes the following objectives to be achieved through redevelopment:
Proposals will be evaluated on compatibility of the development concept with the City's vision and goals for the Eastland area, the feasibility of the financing strategy for the development, and capacity of the teams to execute the proposed development in a timely manner.
If no proposal yields a viable option for City Council, staff will propose an interim strategy until the real estate markets improve.

A Sputnik moment in San Diego
You remember Sputnik? That's when the Russians launched their satellite first and the so-called "space race" began. We cut art and music at our schools, concentrated on math and science and put a man on the moon.
In the wake of globalization, outsourcing and off shoring, there is another call for a Sputnik moment. But this time it isn't just a challenge to put a satellite in orbit and a man on the moon. Rather, it's about meeting the challenges of globalization head on with an innovation economy, an economy vitally dependent on creativity and imagination.
Not that we aren't saying the right things. President Obama, in his State of the Union address last January, said, "We need to out-innovate, out-educate and out-build the rest of the world."
According to Forbes magazine "If there was a central theme to the president's remarks, it was innovation." And Obama's secretary of education, Arne Duncan, said the "arts can no longer be treated as a frill … arts education is essential to stimulating the creativity and innovation that will prove critical for young Americans competing in a global economy."
But here's the truth: America has lost most manufacturing jobs simply because labor costs in less-developed nations are lower, much lower; and we are steadily losing service-sector jobs because now every country, every individual, can afford the most powerful computer that is made at a fraction of the price computers cost 30 years ago.
Not much seems to be happening to refocus our national energies. But some exciting things are happening here in our region.
Last month the National Science Foundation (NSF), the lead agency promoting STEM (for science, technology, engineering and math), awarded the Balboa Park Cultural Partnership a grant totaling $2,654,895 to launch an incubator to integrate the arts into the formula. Called "Integrating Informal STEM and Arts-Based Learning to Foster Innovation," which if successful says the NSF, will "foster and accelerate innovation and creativity, (and) generate collaborations of different professionals and the public around STEM education and other STEM-related topics of local interest that can be explored with the help of creative learning methodologies such as innovative methods to generate creative ideas."
And last week, the University of San Diego's School of Leadership in Education (SOLES) announced it would begin offering an online degree emphasizing the concepts of STEAM (add "A" for the arts) to teachers across the country. Together with the NSF initiative, this new master's degree could revolutionize K-12 education schools, and colleges of education everywhere, changing the way teachers teach and kids learn.
According to a story in The New York Times, President Obama asked Apple founder Steve Jobs, "What would it take to make iPhones in the United States? Why can't that work come home?" Mr. Jobs' reply was unambiguous. "Those jobs aren't coming back." Sure, we need to try to get some of the jobs back that we have lost to offshoring and outsourcing. But Steve Jobs was probably right. The jobs we are losing or have lost are gone or going in the wake of globalization, and not likely to return.
Instead we need to create an innovation region, an innovation economy, innovation jobs and a workforce with a very different set of skills to work in this new economy. Alan Weber, co-founder of the successful business magazine Fast Company, and keynote speaker at a San Diego/Tijuana Urban Land Institute conference on Innovation held last September, said, "We are living in a startup economy" in which education is one of the most important issues worldwide.
Jim De Graff, University of Michigan business school professor and author of "Innovation You: Four Steps to Becoming New and Improved," has said: "The challenge I think for us is learning to paint, learning to sing, learning to dance, learning to play an instrument – these things that involve us in the creative process in a very direct way. … It just strikes me as very curious. What we really ought to be focusing on is this much more hands-on approach to integrating science and the arts in our young people."
It is time we really talk about creativity and innovation, how we merge art and science into the curriculum, and importantly, reinvent the curriculum in the process. Its also imperative that the whole community – particularly the business community – gets engaged in solving the problems of education and figuring out where the new jobs are and will be and how we get there.

Think your friends might be familiar with this merchant? Ask your friends on Facebook to see what they think.
Simply terrible! I would never recommend these guys. The salespeople see you just as a commission cheque and the car audio installers had more attitude than competence. I wasted three days dealing with them and even more cash in the process. I had a stereo system installed in my car back a month ago; I bought the amp from them, but supplied my own speakers and headunit. As soon as I drove off, the amp started malfunctioning. A simple wiring error lead to them claiming the parts I didn't buy from them were bad, and they had the nerve to try and charge me more to fix their mistake. They took days to "fix" the problem, and I took about 1 minute to actually fix it while acting on a hunch. I have never been more insulted as a customer before or since shopping at Visions.

It's not a great time to be a white fish in my tank.
Because if you happen to be one, chances are you will soon be an white ex-fish in my tank.
I can't attribute it to some sort of piscine reverse-racism, because the alpha, big dog, head cheese, koi o' boy, Moby Dick of the tank is mostly white, with some black splotches, and is 10 times bigger than anything else in the tank.
I don't know how it got so big, because it was just a regular-sized koi when we bought it a couple years back. However, I've seen a lot of Godzilla movies and therefore can only conclude that someone set off a nuclear weapon in my home when I was on vacation.
The big lie
But the real problem is that someone is murdering the rest of the white fish in my tank. Which is bad, because I'm a cowardly enabler of a father who hates to see my 9-year-old cry. So I keep replacing the fish at $15 a pop when my daughter is at her mother's house in Sacramento. I'm now seriously considering buying a fourth small white replacement koi. If I do, my daughter will have no idea that the little white fish swimming in the tank is not the first koi I bought for her two months ago.
No, I didn't just spill the beans. My daughter is a highly intelligent girl, which means she has no good reason to read this column. And you won't tell her, or we'll have issues and I'll have no choice but to command my giant white-and-black orca-koi to eat you.
I've been over the facts with my local koi salesman (code name: He Who Peddles Doomed Fish) and have ruled out genetics, although to be fair, I'm terribly sure this man is no scientist, as I've never seen him in a long white coat. Each white fish has eaten heartily right up until its doomsday and, after many hours of observation, I'm certain no other fish are attacking them (I heard them all sing "We Are the World" together the other day). I also have a little cave-thingie in my tank where the small fish can hide should the big ones decide they'd like seafood for dinner.
No clues or suspects
No other fish are dying -- well, one did, but the police attributed that to spontaneous combustion. The water is clean, and I haven't heard any gunshots. Yet every time I purchase another white fish -- each of whom takes a name that I can't remember but usually has something to do with unicorns or rainbows -- it seems fine for a couple weeks, then kicks the bucket.
Now some of you may be saying it's time to 'fess up, that no child can be insulated from death forever. That's not the case with my daughter. She's had a grandma die, a cat get run over and regularly sees what I look like in the morning. She's had plenty of fish die (when I lived near the water in Benicia, my oldest daughter and I would have burials at sea when one of our fish died, until the day the seagulls came and ruined everything).
And lately, my kid is going through a phase where she gets upset over dead bugs. She gets hysterical over roadkill. She refuses to use mouthwash because she saw the part on the label about it "killing germs."
With all these girls in my life, I have enough crying. I don't like to see little girls upset over dead stuff, so I like to pretend it didn't happen. That's right -- healthy parenting at its finest. She has the rest of her life ahead of her and plenty of things down the road to cry about.

Bed bugs, known throughout the nation as bloodsucking parasites, are seeing a resurgence nationwide -- including Alaska.
At the Alaska Forum on the Environment, experts talked about bed bugs and how to prevent them Thursday. Katie Burbage, an environmental health specialist for the Tanana Chiefs Conference, says bed bugs can't transmit disease but still are a health risk.
"There's definitely a yuck factor with them," Burbage said. "They come out at night and feed on you...that's a little creepy."
Lief Albertson, with the University of Alaska Fairbanks' Cooperative Extension Service, says there's a growing bed bug concern in rural Alaska. In addition to the health risk they pose, any rumor about a lodge or inn having bed bugs could have a devastating economic effect on the area -- but Albertson says the problem is manageable.
"You want to get rid of a lot of clutter," Albertson said. "Once you do that step you do things to simplify that environment to eliminate places for bed bugs to hide."
For more information on how to prevent or get rid of bed bugs you can visit the Cooperative Extension Service's website.

Managing natural resources > River Murray > River restoration > CLLMM
Get the latest news from the Coorong and Lower Lakes region.
This Ramsar Wetland of International Importance is the final leg of Australia's iconic River Murray.
The impacts of prolonged drought and water over-allocation across the Murray-Darling Basin left the Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth (CLLMM) region on the brink of environmental collapse. Since late 2010, high flows of freshwater have returned and the region is showing signs of recovery.
There have been record low river flows to the CLLMM region due to drought and over-allocation across the Murray-Darling Basin. A range of environmental and community issues – such as acid sulfate soils, salinity and the invasion of pest plants and animals – now affect the region.
Flows have recently increased, resulting in higher water levels and flow reaching the Coorong. However many issues affecting the region remain. If they are not remedied or managed properly there could be serious and irreversible environmental impacts on the wetlands.
The work being carried out to protect the region now will allow us to manage and monitor the refreshed wetland environment under changed conditions in the future. Further investment is taking place by the Australian and South Australian Governments through the Murray Futures and The Living Murray programs.
The CLLMM region is about 142,500 hectares in size and has a diverse range of freshwater, estuarine and marine habitats. The native plants and animals are unique, not just within the Murray-Darling Basin, but worldwide. Many internationally migratory birds can also be found.
The River Murray terminates in South Australia at the Southern Ocean, having passed through Lake Alexandrina, the Murray estuary and finally the Murray Mouth. Lake Albert is a terminal lake connected to Lake Alexandrina by a narrow channel.
The Coorong is a long, shallow, brackish to hypersaline lagoon more than 100 kilometres long. It is separated from the ocean by a narrow sand dune peninsula. Saline waters of the Coorong lagoons and Murray Mouth estuary are prevented from entering the lakes and the River Murray by a series of barrages built in the 1930s.
The region is the only point of entry and exit for fish that move between freshwater and marine habitats, and is the only pathway to export salt from the Murray-Darling Basin.
The nearly 28,000 people who live in the area mainly work in agriculture, viticulture, fishing, manufacturing and tourism. Aboriginal people, such as the Ngarrindjeri, have a strong spiritual and cultural connection to the land and are the Traditional Owners. There are many traditional and archaeological sites in the region.
The Ramsar site is used for several purposes, including conservation, recreation, water storage and extraction, grazing and cropping, and urban and residential development.

When I was eleven years old my Dad was diagnosed with cancer. Shortly thereafter I started a campaign to raise money through The Cancer Institute of NJ Foundation entitled "Game On: The Time Has Come To Beat Cancer". With the support of family, friends and fellow students, my campaign was a success. However, my goal has not yet been met.
Exactly five years after my Dad's diagnosis of a sarcoma on his right thigh he discovered a mass on his left thigh. It turns out it was another sarcoma, similar to the one he had five years ago. Unfortunately, due to the rarity of this cancer and the lack of research, this occurrence was unexplainable.
On July 1, 2013, the Cancer Institute of New Jersey became part of Rutgers University. My parents have been Rutgers Football season ticket holders for over 20 years. Consequently, I have been attending Rutgers football games with my Dad since I was 8 months old. I pray and hope to be able to continue to attend games with him.
Now more than ever, the time has come to BEAT CANCER. We CAN do it with your support. Please make a donation to my "GAME ON" campaign. My family and I thank you for your support.

A couple of weeks ago the Natural Home staff received some samples of
Blue Diamond Nut Thins
, and we haven't been able to stop eating them.
These crackers are made with rice flour and nuts and are wheat- and gluten-free. One serving, about 16 crackers, is about 130 calories. Though the crackers taste great, the texture takes a cracker or two to get used to. Rice flour and potato starch do not lend the depth that wheat does, so despite their crunchiness, they feel a little flimsy in the mouth at first.
This did not last very long, and soon we all seemed to have developed a healthy addiction to the crackers. Every couple of minutes one of us would get up to grab a couple.
As with most packaged foods, remember to look at the sodium per serving; in this case, it's 5 percent, which is less that what you would get from traditional crackers or potato chips.
Currently, Nut Thins come in six different flavors; almond, hazelnut, pecan, cheddar cheese, smokehouse and country ranch. Assistant editor Kim Wallace really enjoyed the cheddar cheese crackers, but my favorite was pecan; they are flavorful and satisfying, without an overpowering pecan taste.
The all-natural ingredients are great, but an organic, whole grain variety would be beneficial, too. Add these crackers to your holiday cheese plate or to your office pantry for an easy, healthy snack.
Nut Thins are $29.95 for a case (12 boxes).

Beware "40 Carrots" Skincare
October 22, 2010 at 9:22 pm in Fashion & Beauty by Lisa Mallett
A VN expert recommended the skincare line "40 Carrots" recently in a featured article. I just wanted to warn others I tried it and have had an extreme reaction (first time ever in my life – I have no allergies and have never had a problem with any other skincare). I can only assume I am sensitive to retinol. I now have dry, red, scaly, sunburned-feeling skin on my face and my eye area (from the cleanser) has been severely swollen for 2 days (despite ceasing use immediately, the symptoms have not abated). My advice is to proceed with caution, especially if you don't know how your skin handles retinol.

Monday Feb. 23, 2009
AIKEN, S.C. – USC Aiken junior forward Josh Dollard was named the Peach Belt Conference Player of the Week it was announced by the league office on Monday, Feb. 23.
Dollard (Hemingway, S.C./Hemingway) had his best week in a Pacer uniform last week, turning in three double-doubles in No. 14 USC Aiken's three games last week.
Dollard averaged 18 points per game and 12.3 rebounds per game in three games. In total, he finished USC Aiken's three wins with 54 points and 37 rebounds.
Dollard opened the week last week by scoring 17 points and bringing down 14 rebounds in USC Aiken's dominating win at the Convocation Center over UNC Pembroke. He claimed five of his rebounds in the game on the offensive glass.
The 14 boards corralled by Dollard in the game tied a career high that he originally set during an SEC Tournament game against Georgia when he was a sophomore at Auburn.
Dollard followed up his performance against the Braves by scoring 16 points and bringing down 13 rebounds in USC Aiken's win over Lander on Wednesday, Feb. 18. He was 3-for-3 from the free throw line in the game.
The Auburn transfer closed out USC Aiken's week by scoring 21 points in the Pacers' road win over Columbus State. Dollard also had 10 rebounds in the game.
Dollard, who connected upon 83 percent (15-for-18) of his free throw attempts last week, now has a team-leading seven double-doubles in the 2008-09 season.

Debenhams said today that its first-half profits should be higher than last year despite falling underlying sales, in a trading update that sent its shares almost 5 per cent higher.
But the department store echoed the gloom beginning to descend on the retail sector, warning that the outlook for the high street looked bleak.
Rob Templeman, chief executive, said: "Looking forward, it is clear that disposable income is under pressure from inflation, public sector spending cuts and higher taxation.
"As a result, trading across the UK high street is likely to be difficult in the second half of the year.

Energy Industry Pines for 'Future Global Growth'
KUALA LUMPUR–Drilling, extracting and shipping gas is a messy business that involves dirt, sweat, noise and sometimes blood.
But the stalls set up by major oil and gas players at the World Gas Conference in Kuala Lumpur give the impression of a very graceful industry, involving scantily clad women and adorable little children dancing.
The conference, which takes place every three years, gathers industry experts and representatives of companies from the sector's supply chain, from subcontractors to drillers and distributors, with the likes of France's GDF Suez and Total, Norway's Statoil, Schlumberger, Wintershall, ENI and BG.
Over five days, delegates will meet, attend conferences, debate the fate of the industry, lunch and dine over business opportunities and in the meantime visit the stalls set up as sleeky shopwindows by the companies.
The lavishness constrasts with the aura given off by other industries: money is still flowing in this business and so far budget restrictions and the need for discretion seem unheard of.
Russian gas behemoth Gazprom, which clearly doesn't need to make itself known, has put together a huge circular glittery stall, with women wearing bright blue lace dresses with slits running up interminable legs while little gymnasts younger than 12 years old show their agility over music on the stage at the center of the structure.
Further down the conference center, China's CNPC stall is also guarded by fine-looking women wearing strapless sparkling outfits. Russia's Novatek structure attempts to recall the white and pure expanses of the Arctic, with the sound of hurling wind, fake ice and automated toy-tankers pass by.
As the hosting power, local oil and gas group Petronas gave a lavish gala party on Monday, where dancers bearing the local golden costumes mixed with delegates whose mood was helped by free-flowing alcohol and huge buffets, under an enormous tent planted in downtown Kuala Lumpur.
But how long will this party last? Gas prices remain weak thanks to oversupplies and overcapacities. Oil prices, which were reaching record highs as late as last year, are now going down as demand is dented by the economic crisis in the West.
Stricter environmental rules threaten margins while regulations and tariffs limit profits and dividends for some.
The theme of this year's conference, "Sustaining Future Global Growth," rings like some wishful thinking from an industry all too aware of its privileged position and determined to maintain its standards of living.

|Protein ion channels are nanometer-scale pores that are central to many biological processes, including the sensing of a wide variety of molecules. They have also demonstrated their potential for use in the sensitive and selective detection of ions, the characterization of polynucleotides, and toxins as well as the screening of a therapeutic agent against a key lethal anthrax protein. Further advances in materials engineering, theory, and signal processing are needed to enable practical applications based on biological or synthetic nanopores.

American Eagle flight attendants will vote Aug. 8-Sept. 5 on new contract
Under cost-cutting pressure from American Eagle management, Association of Flight Attendants leaders voted Thursday to send a tentative agreement to a vote by the 1,800 American Eagle flight attendants.
"We forced onerous concessions off the table, mitigated the ones we accepted and negotiated early snap-backs for some of them," said Robert Barrow, president of Eagle's AFA master executive council. "There are no pay cuts or wage freezes."
The carrier's flight attendant, who will vote from Wednesday through Sept. 5, will decide "if this is an agreement that they can live with in the context of bankruptcy wherein all the negotiating advantages lie with management," Barrow said.
That's two of the three American Eagle unions with tentative agreements.
Negotiators with the Transport Workers Union reached a deal July 20 with American Eagle management covering fleet service employees and mechanics and related employees. TWU members will vote on those deals starting at 12:01 a.m. CDT Aug. 13 and ending at noon CDT Aug. 24.
The third union, the Air Line Pilots Association, is still talking to management. We hear that the talks are moving to ALPA headquarters in the Washington area next week.

by min, mom with memories
A couple of years ago, I liked to write stories of me and the kids going on short little trips around our neighborhood. We'd drive down familiar roads and although I thought I knew every rock and house along those routes, the kids always saw new things….different things.
I remember writing this one piece about a gate that my kids spotted in a fence. It wasn't actually a gate….more like a door.
They imagined all kinds of strange things going on behind it.
The door was new then and although it looked like the jamb was made of reused wood, the door itself was clean and neat looking.
It gave our imaginations a good workout and we came up with many of our own ideas about what might be happening in that backyard.
I drove by that door the other day. It's still there.
Time has taken its toll. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to put a door there instead of a regular gate. The door could use some paint and looked a little worn….I imagined the wizard who lived behind it had probably aged a little too.
Then I drove around to the front of the house.
It's for sale.
Anyone want to own a portal to a parallel universe?

Risk factor is every where. You can get into Admin processing (221g) anywhere I am seeing lot of cases in Ottawa for the last few weeks. But there are also cases who got it approved on the same day. If you want to stamp from Canada recommendation is get Multiple entry visit visa for Canada go for stamping and if you get into admin processing you can go back to your home country and when visa approved you can come back to Canada to collect it. Otherwise go to your home country for stamping.

Thanks Arslan, I have one follow up question . In case of Admin processing , Do they keep the passport ? If so how will I enter Canada again ?.
Posted 30 October 2011 - 11:44 PM
They dont keep the passport in case of Admin processing.

Mr Sloane episode 1 review: Meet Mr Sloane
Does new sixties-set Sky Atlantic comedy, Mr Sloane, have more to offer than a winning central performance by Nick Frost?
This review contains spoilers.
1.1 Meet Mr Sloane
If you were to judge Mr Sloane solely on the likeability of its cast, it'd be a five-star production. There aren't many more appealing actors working in UK comedy than Nick Frost and Olivia Colman, and both are at their genial best here. Judged on its script and laughs though, Sky Atlantic's new sixties-set comedy is simply too gentle a thing to give a rave review.
A character piece set in the resolutely non-swinging end of 1969 London, Mr Sloane follows the titular sadsack (Nick Frost) in the aftermath of losing his job and wife Janet (Olivia Colman).
Janet, whom we meet here only in flashback and dream sequence, has left Watford in search of herself. Her husband, Jeremy Sloane ("like Sloane Square") could also do with a bit of self-knowledge by the looks of things. His life, which chiefly comprises drinking with his piss-taking mates, is at a standstill until he meets a young woman named Robin at the local hardware shop. Robin is American, gorgeous, half Sloane's age and - for reasons as yet unbeknownst to the audience - starts to flirt with him over the U-bend selection.
Episode one timidly stages a series of familiar comic scenarios – slob overindulges in booze and food, man brushes off the nosy neighbour, class runs amok for the useless substitute teacher – alongside some less familiar, more piquant action. Things open with Sloane's botched suicide attempt, an act that quickly establishes the character's haplessness, and the stultifying routine of his laddish drinking buddies (including Peter Serafinowicz as a slimy ladder-climber). It's proof that creator Robert B. Weide - formerly a producer/director on Curb Your Enthusiasm - hasn't left his macabre sense of humour entirely on the other side of the Atlantic. The satirical edge of Weide's directorial film debut, How To Lose Friends And Alienate People, (adapted from the Toby Young memoir and starring long-time Nick Frost collaborator, Simon Pegg) got lost somewhere between the page and the screen, but Mr Sloane doesn't run that risk, not having anything much in its satirical sights to begin with.
This first episode flits around in Sloane's timeline, revisiting his and Janet's first meeting, their wedding, and once venturing into his subconscious with a dream sequence that showcases Olivia Colman's power to transform in an instant from mumsy and comforting to magisterial and withering. The chronology jumping livens up a low-impact first hour that's largely spent building Sloane's pitiful life. One sequence sees him devour an entire chocolate cake and several beers before dozing off in his pants - a snoring manatee on a Rayon sofa - before awakening to stand up for the National Anthem.
For a period-set comedy, thankfully little time is devoted to ironies of the 'computers? Pah. They'll never catch on' variety, though internal ironies (Sloane predicts the brightest of futures for he and Janet on their wedding day, and an out of control self-help tape spouts life-affirming statements while everything is falling apart) are thuddingly present.
Instead, late sixties Watford serves as a drab backdrop to a drab life, a brown and mustard-coloured place where pints of bitter are sunk in dimpled-glass jugs and children are left unattended in pub car parks with a cracked window and a packet of salted nuts for company. It might be set in the same year as Mad Men's final season, but - inexplicably magnetic appeal to mini-dress lovelies aside - there's little Don Draper-ish about Mr Sloane.
Frost, on whose shoulders the series rests, has a great deal more to offer than affability. There's his wicked way with a punchline for a start. When Sloane covers up for his misbehaving self-help tape having broadcast a mantra about his attractiveness to the aforementioned neighbour with a lascivious "You heard what I said", he hasn't been funnier. It the meeting of his comedy of understatement though, with some of this script's more extrovert moments - the chaotic schoolroom scene for instance - that feel less well-matched. Frost is more Ronnie Barker than John Cleese, more powerful in quieter moments than screaming over the noise.
As a take on the classic comedy character of life's everyman loser, Mr Sloane is charming if familiar and so far risk-free. In the vein of a gently satirical campus novel, it's a warm but not a thrilling watch, and doesn't have a great deal more than its central performance to recommend it.
Mr Sloane starts tonight, Friday the 23rd of May, on Sky Atlantic at 9pm.

Do Developing Nation Journalists Cover Climate Science Better (or at Least Better Than U.S. and U.K. Papers)?
Chris Mooney | November 28, 2011
By Chris Mooney • Monday, November 28, 2011 - 07:55
As the European debt crisis scrapes along, there has been talk about the possible need for developing nations, like China and Brazil, to ultimately help bail out some spendthrift "developed" nations.
A new study suggests that maybe they should also help bail out some of our media.
The study comes from James Painter of the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at Oxford University and his colleagues. After looking extensively at climate change coverage in major papers in six nations—the U.S., UK, France, Brazil, China, and India—the paper finds that global warming "skepticism" is "largely an Anglo-Saxon phenomenon."
Consider a selection of findings:

Ardeshir Goshtasby , Department of Computer Science, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40506.
A rotationally invariant template matching using normalized invariant moments is described. It is shown that if normalized invariant moments in circular windows are used, then template matching in rotated images becomes similar to template matching in translated images. A speedup technique based on the idea of two-stage template matching is also described. In this technique, the zeroth-order moment is used in the first stage to determine the likely match positions, and the second and third-order moments are used in the second stage to determine the best match position among the likely ones.

BOSTON (AP) � A massive storm packing hurricane-force winds and blizzard conditions is sweeping through the Northeast, dumping nearly 2 feet of snow on New England and knocking out power to more than a half a million customers.
More than 23 inches of snow had fallen in parts of central Connecticut by early Saturday, and more than 21 inches covered Randolph in southeastern Massachusetts.
The National Weather Service says up to 3 feet of snow is expected in Boston, threatening the city's 2003 record of 27.6 inches.
Throughout the Northeast, more than 600,000 homes and businesses lost electricity. Airlines canceled more than 5,300 flights through Saturday, and New York City's three major airports and Boston's Logan Airport closed.
The storm is being blamed on at least four deaths in New York and Canada.

The Life and Works of Julius Caesar
Julius Caesar has been called the best-known ancient Roman. Not only was he Romes greatest general, he has been considered among the finest Latin writers and surpassed by very few Roman orators. Yet he was a man of contradictions who aroused violently different reactions. This course will explore the biography and works of Julius Caesar from several different vantage points and through many different kinds of sources; his own written works; the archaeological evidence of his buildings, coinage, and statues; the writings of his contemporaries and successors; the views of modern scholarship; and the poets and playwrights who have given us their own versions of Caesar.
