text: 000 FXUS63 KDLH 222325 AFDDLH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Duluth MN 625 PM CDT MON AUG 22 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 453 PM CDT Mon Aug 22 2016 Added some isolated thunderstorms to Ashland, Iron and Price counties until 23Z. Pea size hail was reported in Gile with a quick 0.09 inches of rain. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 302 PM CDT Mon Aug 22 2016 Summary: An area of low pressure in the Dakotas will continue to pump warm air into the Northland from the south through Tuesday, with the warming trend culminating in temperatures about 10 to 15 degrees above seasonal normals Tuesday afternoon. Increasing heights from an approaching upper level ridge tonight will help suppress convection, and most models keep the Northland dry despite the strong low-level jet (30 to 50 knots) that will develop tonight with the elevated warm front lifting into the Northland. However, the GFS continues to indicate pcpn later tonight, primarily for areas near and north of the elevated warm front across the northern two-thirds of the forecast area (near and north of Highway 2). The GFS has been fairly consistent for several runs over the past few days. Therefore, although most models are dry, do not feel comfortable discounting the GFS. Held onto very low chances of elevated showers and thunderstorms. The overnight southerly winds will discourage cooling, so leaned on the warmer model guidance, such as the ECMWF, GFS, and SREF. Overnight lows will likely be in the lower 60s. This will give the Northland a good start to warming up Tuesday. Once again, gusty southerly flow will develop across the region ahead of the approaching low pressure, and its cold front, from the west. The 850 hpa temperatures will climb to about 18 to 22 degrees Celsius, and a strong cap from the nose of warm air will help suppress cloud cover and convection. The sunshine will further help the warming. Leaned on the warmer model guidance, such as the GFS. Highs should range from the lower 80s in the east to the middle/upper 80s across central to north central Minnesota. Expect widespread afternoon wind gusts of 20 to 25 mph, but may need to increase to 30 mph once more high-resolution, short-term model guidance becomes available. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday) Issued at 302 PM CDT Mon Aug 22 2016 A chance for showers and storms Tuesday night into Wednesday as a cold front moves from west to east across the upper Midwest, with cooler and drier conditions settling in for Thursday. A gradual return to warmer conditions this weekend with at least a chance for showers and storms through much of the weekend. On the synoptic scale a once-mature cyclone across the Canadian Rockies will be weakening as it moves east towards the Canadian Prairie, with another weak low developing ahead of the stacked low. This new developing low will be centered over southeast Manitoba by Tuesday night, gradually lifting east towards northwest Ontario Wednesday into Thursday. Ahead and along the cold front the south- southwesterly flow at low levels will advect warm and moist air ahead of the front, with dew points in the mid 60s ahead of the front on Wednesday and highs in the upper 70s to near 80. Precipitation will likely be scattered in nature as the best large- scale forcing will be delayed behind the cold front. Not expecting any widespread severe storms, but a few stronger storms cannot be ruled out - mainly those coming in from the west Tuesday night, but generally it seems like wind profiles will not be favorable to sustain severe storms. Behind the cold front Wednesday night skies clear out as an area of high pressure builds in across the northern and central Plains. 850mb temps will fall to 5-10C on Thursday resulting in a very comfortable day. Lows Wednesday night in the low to mid 50s, with a few of the usual cool spots possibly falling into the upper 40s. Highs Wednesday in the mid 60s to near 70, with a low chance for a shower/sprinkle across the international border. Lows Thursday night in the mid to upper 40s, except near Lake Superior and larger inland lakes. Over the weekend the area of high pressure moves northeast across the Great Lakes with southwesterly flow taking hold again across the upper Midwest. This will result in a warming trend and an environment ripe for diurnal convection, with showers and storms possible each day. The pattern becomes organized early next week as an upper low ejects out of the Colorado Rockies into the central/northern Plains, with a continued chance for showers and storms as the warm front associated with the surface low that develops approaches the Northland. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening) Issued at 625 PM CDT Mon Aug 22 2016 VFR is expected through the forecast. Some showers will be in the vicinity of HYR at the outset of the forecast, but should diminish by 03Z when forcing at 700mb moves east of the terminal. Gusty surface winds will diminish this evening. LLWS is expected to affect all terminals, but INL, late this evening as a low level jet moves across east central MN and northwest WI. The jet moves off to the east of the terminals by 12Z as mixing begins. Gusty surface winds will develop by mid morning. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

The Birds that starts Set 2 zips along for a couple minutes before Trey leads things into a more relaxed range (I *guess* it sounds like "Acknowledgment" from A Love Supreme, but the resemblance is pretty slight, and I say that as somebody that thinks it's there in the 6/3/11 DWD), then the jam briefly heads into major-key ground again before getting dark and grimy, Trey adding some interesting effects with either his guitar or (more likely) his keyboard, Mike taking over the jam and walking his basslines through the electronic muck. The band then rolls into Catapult, keeping the darkness going while Trey builds some loops, then Page steps to the forefront as the jam starts dying out before Trey starts up one last loop...which serves as the bridge to Heavy Things. Heavy Things is fine, but that bridge between the songs is pretty neat.
Sand then brings things back to a darker zone; a good chunk of the jam is pretty boring, Trey dicking around with his keyboard while the groove just goes on and on to the point where it sounds like a backing track, but then Trey gets back on the guitar and piles on some nasty noise to save things a little. I do like this style of jamming a good deal, and I like Sand as a vehicle for that kind of jamming, but this Sand didn't hit my sweet spot (compare it to the 12/8/99 version, which explores a lot of the same areas, but at least the whole time the band, specifically Trey, is *doing something*, and the jam builds pretty well - here, the jam just goes, and then it's back to the main theme). Meatstick is Meatstick - I could just be a bad fan, but they ALL sound the same - and I find myself losing interest, but Cities and Walk Away perk me back up, and then comes a peppy Antelope, played with late-90s minimalism but at mid-90s speed (I do love Page's Antelope piano playing); it's a reasonably good Antelope, if not in my personal pantheon or anything. The rest of the show is standard stuff.
Final thoughts...gosh. The first set is probably the best set of the 6/28-29 run. The second set has a very good jam, a nice Antelope, and everything in between is just not that great IMO. Still, the first set is enough for me to rate this show higher than the day before's. Drowned/R&R is available in SBD, so seek that out at the very least.

Guaranteed Issue Limited Indemnity Plans
The healthcare crisis in America has resulted in millions of people being unable to afford the rising cost of healthcare. There are also millions of other people who cannot qualify for healthcare benefits due to uninsurable health conditions. The issues of affordability and eligibility are huge obstacles facing Americans as they seek to get the quality healthcare they need.
That's where Guaranteed Issue (Acceptance) Indemnity Plans can be useful. Plans of this type require no medical examination and have few, if any, "knock-out" questions. While plans of this type are not a substitute for medical insurance, they could be a suitable choice for many people.
With traditional health insurance, there are a series of medical questions that must be answered prior to the issuance of a health insurance policy. Insurers can deny or restrict coverage based on the answers to these questions.
Fortunately, there is help. USA+ has developed a unique line of Guaranteed Acceptance Association Memberships that offer limted benefits to those who need them.

Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon? New data from the IRS shows the dividing line between the much-talked-about 1 percent and the 99 percent. It's less than you might think, but still a healthy $343,927 a year.
So we know who's who: Those making less than that, grab a sign and find a demonstration. Those making more than that, please breathe on your monocle, wipe it off, and instruct Higgins to release the hounds.
Go as Donny Osmond: A Mormon church in Salt Lake City has posted fliers for an upcoming Halloween party asking girls and boys not to dress in "cross-gender" costumes, such as girls wearing Harry Potter outfits or boys dressing as Lady Liberty.
Disappointed, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, R-Safety School, put away the Michele Bachmann outfit that he's already worn to several tea party rallies.
Ya sure: The Stanwood Lions Club is offering its 59th annual Lutefisk Dinner from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at Stanwood High School. Lutefisk, for those without Scandinavian grandmothers, is cod preserved in lye, then cooked to the consistency of Jell-O.
The dinner is all you eat, but then any amount of lutefisk is all you can eat.

ALAMEDA -- A new business opening soon next to Ole's Waffle Shop on Park Street will offer patrons waffle fries and items from the Ole's menu. But make no mistake, say owners Ken and Vickie Monize, the emphasis at Wine & Waffles is on the wine.
The wine lounge will give customers access to about 200 different wines, mainly from California but also from Europe and South America, including some from local vintners, like R&B Cellars. The new spot includes a fireplace and area for live entertainment.
"We're talking about niche wines. Wines that are special and not available on the open market and that are hard to find," said Ken Monize, who lived in Healdsburg for many years.
"The aim is to introduce the community to wines I know and love," he explained. "This way, people who want to enjoy some wine and jazz won't have to drive all the way to San Francisco or Napa to have something special. Every wine we serve here should be fantastic, or I haven't done my job."
In addition to fine wines, there will be beer on tap and in bottles such as those made by Faction Brewing at Alameda Point and Stone Brewing of Escondido. Snack items on the menu will include cheese plates, sliced meats, meatballs, desserts, macaroni and cheese, sliders and more. "We'll have specials like pulled pork with maple-whisky syrup on a waffle," said manager Tamara Jenson. "There will be desserts like butterscotch brownies, wine-flavored ice cream and cheesecake."
At their wedding two years ago, Vickie and Ken Monize made a toast to wine and waffles. The concept stuck, they say, so they turned their idea into a new place for residents to get together with friends and family.
"This is an intimate spot. It feels like a living room, but there's not TV," said Ken Monize, who has been inviting curious Park Street visitors inside to check out the scene.
Over the past few weeks, the owners and staff have passed out cards so community members could sign up for the venue's birthday club.
"We only have about 50 out of 1,000 left," Ken Monize said. "Interest is huge."
Wine & Waffles, which should open in April, will be open from 4 to 10 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday; 4 p.m. to 12 a.m. Friday and Saturday; and from noon to 8 p.m. Sunday.

New Protest Rally Planned in Malaysia
By Celine Fernandez and Shibani Mahtani
Last July, Malaysian activists –collectively known as the Bersih 2.0 movement– brought tens of thousands of people to the streets of Kuala Lumpur, demanding electoral transparency.
With the country's next general election widely expected to be held this year or early next, activists are planning another rally scheduled for the end of this month, continuing their push for free and fair elections.
The "sit down" protest is planned for April 28, with Bersih ("clean" in Malay) to show the activists' dissatisfaction with what they say is a lack of commitment by the government to implement measures for free and fair elections. Although the government is considering new rules to reform election processes in the country, the activists say the ideas floated so far don't go far enough. The activists' demands –ranging from the establishment of an independent body to help clean up the electoral roll and inviting election observers to monitor the vote– falls short of calling for a boycott of the upcoming election, which must be held in or before 2013, even if their aspirations are not met.
However, the decision to call a fresh rally does raise the heat on the government of Prime Minister Najib Razak as he tries to build momentum for what he hopes will be a successful re-election. Last year's rally was more than just a quiet sit-down, turning messy after police fired tear gas and water cannons on protestors, including prominent leaders of the country's opposition parties. Many people were injured and some 1,600 people were detained, including Bersih's co-chairperson Ambiga Sreenevasan. All were subsequently released, but human rights groups including Amnesty International condemned the action as the "worst campaign of repression we've seen in the country for years."
Organizers of this year's rally do not envisage a repeat of last year's crackdown, given how unpopular the police action was. "I am assuming that sensible advisors of the Prime Minister will tell him to refrain from using the same tactic," said Ms. Sreenevasan at a press conference announcing the rally.
After last year's rally, an opinion poll by independent research firm Merdeka Center showed Prime Minister Najib Razak's popularity dipping to 59% in August, compared to 65% in May. It has since bounced back to 69%, according to Merdeka Center. The rally is not for a couple of weeks, but already political leaders are warning Malaysians away from the event, arguing that the choice of location –Dataran Merdeka, the historic square where the flag of an independent Malaya was raised for the first time– is illegal.
Government minister in charge of legal matters Nazri Aziz said in Parliament last Wednesday that the square had not been gazetted as an area where assembly is allowed. Other government officials have been quoted in local press as saying the activists need not bother holding a protest because the government is already responding to their concerns.
Organizers insist the rally will go on as planned unless they get a commitment from the government that their reforms will be implemented before the next general election. After last year's rally, Mr. Najib announced the establishment of a Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) to look into electoral reform. The committee included five members of the governing coalition, three from the opposition and one independent member. The committee drew up 22 recommendations around electoral procedures – including that the electoral roll only list eligible voters, and that election bodies function independently of the government.
Last Tuesday, their report was adopted by Parliament without debate, though the government is not obliged to implement any of the recommendations. The country's Election Commission will discuss the report's 22 recommendations in a meeting next week. The report failed to address one of Bersih's sticking points, though – international observers coming to Malaysia for the general election.
Countries across Southeast Asia, including Indonesia and Thailand, are open to international and domestic observers. Malaysia sent observers to Myanmar to monitor its most recent by-elections held earlier this month. Chair of the Election Commission Abdul Aziz Mohd Yosuf, speaking to the Wall Street Journal after the announcement of this month's Bersih rally, said that the body would be in favor of both international and domestic observers for the upcoming election since electoral authorities "have nothing to hide in [their] election systems and processes."
Analysts, however, say that for many Malaysians the rally is about more than just elections. They say it's also about general dissatisfaction with the state of politics in the racially-fragmented Southeast Asian nation, including concerns over corruption.
"Bersih represents opposition [broadly], not just opposition parties. These are quite separate issues," said Professor Shamsul Amri Baharuddin of the National University Malaysia, who labels the movement as a "third-force" in Malaysian politics. He and some other analysts have said the movement's organizers have been too hasty in calling for a protest without first exhausting other means of settling the issues they are unhappy about. "On the street [action] alone invites a certain kind of negativity, and both sides become very defensive," said Professor Shamsul. Ultimately, demonstration organizers say it is not up to them to decide how the rally will end.
"At the end of the day, the Najib administration and the police have to decide what kind of outcome they want. The last time they arrested 1667. This time, if [they] want to go that way again, I am sure many Malaysians will come forward and turn ourselves in and say 'put us in'," said Mr. Wong Chin Huat, a member of the Bersih 2.0 steering committee.

On Saturday morning, I was at a bootcamp class at my gym. Class was about to start, we were all getting our equipment ready and one of the girls got the instructor a body bar. He didn't ask, she just knew he needed it and was
a crazy bitchtrying to be helpful. The teacher said, "Thanks! You're my new favorite student!" and smiled. A second later, after she had returned to her spot, he said to her, "Actually, would you get me a mat too?" The girl happily obliged, and my teacher seemed to have no qualms about asking and taking it.
That really got me thinking about how hard it is for most women to receive. Think about it, can you even picture a manly voice saying, "Oh, you shouldn't have!"? It's so rare!
This is so sad, because it's our true nature. Sorry to bring this between your legs, but think about it – biomechanically, we were built to receive. Somehow, in this fast-paced, masculine-energy-dominated world, we have flipped the script and become giving machines. Giving when it comes from a full, healthy place is the greatest high in the world. Giving when you've forgotten how to receive is a horrible, fried, resentful, low.
Please understand: I am not suggesting that you become a selfish bitch. If you are totally happy with the state of your energy and relationships, yay! You're already good at regulating this yourself, congratulations! But if you are like I used to be and you are feeling bitter and wiped out and undeserving of anything better, it's time to ask yourself if you've got adequate inflow for your outflow.
I Used to Suck Really Bad at Receiving
A few years ago, had I been that instructor, taking the body bar and mat would have immediately filled me with overwhelming guilt and an relentless urge to immediately give back.
I first realized my inability to receive joyfully when I took an honest look at my crappy romantic relationships. Before Jonny, my incredible husband-to-be, you would not believe the pathetic loser parade that was my love life. Drug addicts, womanizers, anger management issue dudes, I dated 'em all and gave my little people-pleasing heart out to every last one. If you needed money, a ride to somewhere inconvenient, an all-night therapy session; I'd give it with a smile. If I needed…um, anything, I'd squelch it in silence.
After a brutal breakup with a guy who I'd later find out was prone to tweeting pictures of his genitals (I let this guy meet my family! My mom should never shake hands with a man whose dick has been on the internet! I'm surprised the world didn't explode at that very moment), I realized I'd have to get my shit together to have the marriage and family I'd always dreamed of. I started reading books about relationships in an effort to heal myself.
The two that changed my life forever were Getting to I Do by Dr. Pat Allen and Mama Gena's School of Womanly Arts by Regena Thomashauer. They taught me about masculine and feminine energy, and introduced the idea that receiving joyfully was a healthy expression of my femininity.
For the first time in my life I began to understand my value did not lie solely in what I could give to other people. It rocked my world. I learned that I deserved to receive, and that it was vitally necessary if I was ever going to have a happy relationship. Up until that point, I'd meet a guy, he'd be interested and pursue me a little bit, and right away I'd start giving back. You bought me flowers? I'll buy you a computer!
A few months later, I met Jonny, the first guy I liked since I realized the importance of my own needs. I steeled myself to receive, despite the nagging voices in my head that said this would never work and that he'd lose interest if I wasn't working my butt off to keep it.
After our fourth date, Jonny came to a race that I was running at 7:00am on a Saturday and held up encouraging signs for me. Then that night he cooked me an extravagant duck dinner. Let me tell you, I immediately wanted to purchase a building in his name. Instead, I just smiled and told him how much I appreciated everything. I'd read that if you've been receiving disabled in the past, you're doing something right if you're feeling a little guilty.
Wouldn't you know, it totally worked! I gave back to him as our relationship progressed, but only when came from joy and love rather than guilt and obligation. I started practicing this with everyone in my life. My poor barren emotional tank slowly squeaked to life, a miracle after the way I'd forced it to keep working beyond empty for all those years.
Asking – the Best Way to Take Care of Yourself if All Your Loved Ones are Not Psychics
In the example I gave you with my boot camp instructor, you'll notice that he not only accepted the body bar but asked for the mat.
It's lovely when people spontaneously offer to give to you, and you deserve to take it and enjoy every last drop. To really fill your well, though, you need to learn how to graciously ask for what you need. Unless you live in some kind of mind reader colony.
If you're terrified to be an asker, I definitely understand! But try thinking about it very logically for a minute, okay? The worst that the person you're asking can do is say no. You're not going to be a bitch about it, you are going to ask politely for what you need, and graciously accept the other person's yes or no. You have no control over the other person's response, but you win no matter what because you behaved like a self-assured, confident woman who loves herself and deserves to get her needs met.
I've been working on this for a few years. It's still hard, but it gets easier every time, like building a muscle. I still get a little bit teary eyed when I ask for something and I'm turned down. It's not because I'm so heartbroken about not getting what I'm asking for. It just feels so vulnerable to make my needs known, like I am wearing my guts on the outside of my body. But I never, ever regret that I asked. Vulnerability beats treating myself like I don't matter any day.
Next Steps for the Challenged Receiver
Does reading this overwhelm you? Let's talk about easy actions you can take today to get some happiness juice in that tank of yours.
- Take some time to observe your current levels of receptivity. How do you react, both internally and externally, when someone gives to you? Do you react differently if it's a stranger versus a loved one?
- Find yourself a girlfriend who needs help with this too. You guys can beef up each other's courage when it comes to asking and swat away each other's guilt when it comes to receiving. Email me if you can't find one, I am totally here for you. Unless that feels like elementary school gym class when you can't find a partner and have to be partners with the teacher. I always hated that.
- Make a list of what you'd ask from the people in your life if you had absolutely no fear of it. Start with the least scary thing, and work your way up. Take your time and move forward when you feel ready. It's not a race.
Does receiving come easy for you or does it make you feel like Mrs. Howell from Gilligan's Island? Let's talk all about it in the comments!

College Overview
NIC sets new enrollment record; up 1.5 percent
Return to news room
With increases in full-time academic students as well as its dual enrollment program for high school juniors and seniors, North Idaho College has established a new all-time enrollment record of 4,519 students for the 2004 fall semester. The increase of 67 students reflects a 1.5 percent increase over fall of 2003, according to NIC President Michael Burke. "Our goal is managed growth and I believe that this year's enrollment figures reflect our success in continuing to meet the needs of the community," Burke said. NIC's dual enrollment program, which allows eligible high school juniors and seniors to enroll in NIC courses, experienced a 24.5 percent increase over last fall, growing from 183 to 228 students. NIC Distance Education Director Candace Wheeler attributes much of the growth to an initiative by NIC to offer dual enrollment classes on site at several high schools during the school day. Course offerings have expanded this year in Sandpoint, Priest River and Kellogg high schools and Timberlake and St. Maries high schools are offering the dual enrollment courses on site for the first time. Others come to NIC's main campus or other outreach sites for coursework. The number of students enrolled in NIC's academic transfer programs is up 2 percent, from 3,577 to 3,652. The college's professional-technical programs, on the other hand, dropped 9 percent from 692 to 639 students, although credit hour production was up 1 percent. "Our economy is on the rebound and conversely, we often see declines in the number of students pursuing professional-technical programs when jobs are more readily available," said NIC Vice President of Student Services Bruce Gifford. Most of NIC's students are full time, 61 percent, while 39 percent are enrolled part time. This year's gender ratio is 63 percent women and 37 percent men and 93 percent of NIC students live in Idaho. "Overall, we've had a very successful start to this academic year," Gifford said. "Admissions processes ran smoothly and although parking continues to be an issue, we've seen an increase in the number of students utilizing off-campus parking and shuttle services." Idaho's colleges and universities traditionally announce their enrollment on the 10th instructional day of each semester. Gifford will give a more detailed enrollment report to the NIC Board of Trustees at its next meeting, scheduled for Sept. 29.

In retirement, Eisenhower admitted privately that his failure to support the British was his greatest foreign policy mistake.
A couple of excerpts from the article, which also presents a timeline:
What We Failed to Learn from Suez
Fifty years on, D R Thorpe – Anthony Eden's biographer – analyses the lasting impact of this crisis on Britain's standing in the world
. . .
While British actions in 1956 are routinely described as "imperialistic", the motivation was in fact economic. As a liberal supporter of nationalist ambitions – as over Sudanese independence – Eden had been ahead of his times, certainly in Conservative ranks.
His 1954 Suez Canal Base Agreement (withdrawing British troops from Suez in return for certain guarantees) was sold to the Conservative Party against Churchill's wishes.
Nasser broke the agreement six weeks after the troops had left, in June 1956, leaving Eden politically exposed in his own ranks. In retrospect, the nationalisation of Suez seems inevitable – but Eden's fall did not. Hugh Gaitskell, the Labour leader, was initially supportive of a firm response. "It is all very familiar. It is exactly the same that we encountered from Mussolini and Hitler in those years before the war," he said.
[ ... ]
At the outset, the main aims had been to keep the canal open, to maintain oil supplies, to remove Nasser, and to keep the Russians out of the Middle East.
The results were that the canal was blocked, petrol rationing began in Britain on December 12, Nasser became the established leader of Arab nationalism, the Russians strengthened their influence in the area and the Arab and Muslim world turned against Britain.
Nasser also suffered in the long term. Suez gave him an inflated view of his own power. In his mind, he had "defeated" the combined forces of Great Britain, France and Israel, whereas in fact Britain had been "defeated" by America.
The Six Day War against Israel in 1967 was when reality kicked in….

"The West just has to cope with a strong and peaceful Iran, a country with thousands of years of civilization that is now a master of enrichment. I know it is hard for them to digest, but it is the reality. The language of American threats demonstrates a colonialist mentality. Threatening Iran with the Security Council, with more sanctions or military action further complicates the issue. It just doesn't work."
The current situation in the region was David Welch's worst nightmare and he saw it coming!, explained a demonstrably frustrated US Embassy staffer in Beirut as she mused about what Hilary Clinton was really doing in the region this week.
Welch left his seat warm for its current occupant Jeffrey Feltman. Jeffrey is apparently chastened a bit given that US credibility is at a record low in the region, and even appearing less arrogant recently as Lebanon and Syria resume relations, nevertheless urged his boss to come over and "rattle the Mullah's cage" and round up a posse to corral more UN sanctions to beef up 34 months of failed ones.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
It cannot be denied that Madame Secretary of State tried this week.
Resurrecting her Presidential campaign slogan, "security umbrella"
(apparently against the Persian Muslim hoards), coined in 2007 by
WINEP's Dennis Ross as she launched her quest for the White House
(today Ross is an advisor of sorts on how to 'deal' with Iran— his
recommendation is that Iran is best bombed sooner rather than later) ,
America's top diplomat talked plenty tough. Clinton told al-Arabiyya
television aired on 2/17/10 that the US was seeking the "strongest"
possible UN Security Council (UNSC) sanctions on Iran over its nuclear
"We want to try to get the strongest sanctions we can out of the United Nations Security Council, mostly to influence their (Iran's) decision-making."
Forget all about Obama's gesture 'to extend an open hand ', ' seeking the Muslim soul ',' honest dialogue without preconditions on the basis of mutual respect' rhetoric in last June's Cairo speech. The lady came to declare that there will be no dialogue whatsoever- nada- until Iran's nuclear program is history and it's our way or take the bitter consequences.
And absolutely no copy cating the arguably successful approach of Richard Nixon's 1972 offer to China's Mao Tse Tung when he told the Great Helmsman after that stirring Chinese Opera performance in the Forbidden City of The East is Red, when the President had to nudge Henry Kissinger who had dozed off and began snoring: "We will listen to and discuss all of your concerns without any preconditions if you will listen to and discuss all of our concerns without any preconditions." Nixon's wimpy approach sounds downright Islamist these days since that is exactly what Iran has proposed.
Nope. The only thing that was China's business on this trip is that they had better get on board quick with the soon to be presented fourth list of anti-Iranian sanctions at the UN Security Council or America's Saudi friends may not supply China with oil to replace any lost shipments from Iran, if things go the way Israel & Co.hope and Iran is bombed.
When not bashing Iran, Ms. Clinton, acting as if she was Bashar Assad's big sis, expressed regret that "Syrian arms supplies to Hezbollah will reflect negatively on Syria, and is not something positive for both Lebanon and Israel… Syria needs to focus on trying to resolve its differences with Israel, not aggravate them."
At nearly every stop Clinton repeated her view that Iran's government has been hijacked by its Revolutionary Guards, was becoming a 'military dictatorship', was horrible on human rights and had to be stopped now.
How many Iranian deaths from Sanctions would be 'worth it'?
Evidently wanting to drive a wedge between "ordinary Iranians" and the privileged 'ruling class" Mrs. Clinton intoned that a rift was growing within Iranian society and explained, "I think the trend with this greater and greater military lock, on leadership decisions should be disturbing to ordinary Iranians as well as to those of us on the outside." Not a word about weekly Israel threats against the 'ordinary Iranians, or Israel's lock on US Middle East decisions. Not a word of concern for the human rights of the 'ordinary Iranians' who like their Iraqi neighbors in the recent past, will be the ones who will directly suffer from what she intends will be 'crippling sanctions', as they rally to support their government as they did when faced with US chemical weapons shipped to Saddam when the Reagan administration urged Iraq to invade Iran.
One wonders if the Secretary shares the views of her predecessor Madeline Albright who averred to CNN that the death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians mainly children, due to harsh US initiated sanctions, was "worth it" since Saddam Hussein became 'unreliable' and needed to be overthrown.
The region, including the KSA's King Abdullah appeared nonplused. About the only civil thing Secretary Clinton had to say was a vapid comment about "the importance of partnership between Washington and the Islamic world, saying she saw "a lot of common ground" between the United States and Islamic and Arab peoples.
What kind of diplomacy is this, some were left asking. Were the Washington rumors true that if Obama's poll numbers dip below a 39% positive rating, Hilary Rodham, with Israel's support, will save the Democratic party and challenge the President for the 2012 democratic nomination playing the 'get tough with Iran/Syria/Hezbollah/Hamas' card? Some in Tel Aviv and Washington are reportedly counseling her to do just that.
Hilary's proposed solution to the alleged arms transferring of Iran, about which she offered no specific evidence during her three-day visit to Qatar and Saudi Arabia, is to create yet another (the eighth?) US Terrorism list. This one will be targeting certain individuals (more than 350 names will likely make up the first batch, according to one Bekaa valley source close to Tehran) with ties to Iran's Revolutionary Guards who Clinton has gratuitously labeled, "the elite corps."
If the US government moves to shut down Iran's gasoline imports and its main civilian airport, named after the late Imam Khomeini, and perhaps some of Iran's other 39 airports, claiming they are somehow connected to the RG organization, it might cause the US to run afoul of even more of its international legal obligations. Specifically those under the Convention on International Civil Aviation, (the Chicago Convention), which established the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a specialized agency of the United Nations which obligates its signatories (both the US and Iran) to comply with coordinating, protecting and regulating international air travel. The Convention establishes rules of airspace, aircraft registration and safety, and specifically exempts air fuels from taxes and US sanctions. Additionally, all 230 member airlines comprising the International Air Transport Authority (IATA) could be affected directly or indirectly.
Iran responded to Secretary Clinton's barrage before she left the region. Following a largely peaceful 31st anniversary celebration of its 1979 Revolution, by nearly 20 million Iranians without the violence or strife which the Secretary was accused of hoping to exacerbate, Supreme leader Ali Khamenei, accused the United States of war-mongering and of turning the Persian Gulf into an "arms depot."
President Ahmadinejad, hitting back at US accusations that the Islamic state was moving toward a military dictatorship, repeated that its nuclear program is solely to generate electricity and that surely it was the US that more resembled a military dictatorship given its various wars in the region and non-stop regional and international arms transfers.
Just who is doing the invading and the arms shipping?
With respect to who is and isn't turning the Middle East into an arms depot, the available data, fairly comprehensive, appears to strongly favor the Iranian position. Much rhetoric is coming from Washington and Tel Aviv concerning Iranian arms shipments, but to date a paucity of probative evidence.
On the other hand, studies by the US Congressional Research Service, housed in the Madison Library on Capitol Hill, as well as Pentagon statistics make clear what the Bush and Obama administrations have been supplying and to whom.
According to the Congressional Research Service (CRS), the United States, in 2008, accounted for nearly $ 38 billion in weapons deals and transfers worldwide. This was close to 70% of every weapons sale on earth and is projected to rise each year. As Freida Berrigan, a keen and reliable student of this subject noted recently, "It doesn't take a PhD in economics to recognize that, when one nation accounts for nearly 70% of weapons sales, the term "global arms trade" doesn't quite cut it." In fact the US so nearly totally monopolizes weapons transfers that the term "trade" and "competition" appear to be misnomers. The number two arms exporter is Italy with $ 3.7, followed by Russia with $ 3.5 billion. Nowhere among the top 80 countries is Iran to be found.
As visiting US officials to the region beat the 'severe and crippling sanctions" drums and with the Middle East supposedly in urgent need of a US 'security umbrella, not all countries are without protection. According to Pentagon figures the top five nations which made Foreign Military Sales agreements with the US in 2008 and accounted for more than $17 Billion in US arms transfers were:
Saudi Arabia $6.06 billion
Iraq $2.50 billion
Morocco $2.41 billion
Egypt $2.31 billion
Israel $3.32 billion
Meanwhile, Iran supplied no arms to these countries and an unproven amount to Syria as part of a defensive arrangement to deter Israeli attacks. Anything else is speculation until proved. The Pentagon is working to increase its lopsided market share by eviscerating US arms transfer regulations on open the weapon spigots wider. As expert Freida Berrigan has reported, "Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morell explained in January 2010 that Secretary of Defense Robert Gates wants to see "wholesale changes to the rules and regulations on government technology exports" in the name of competitiveness. Morell: "Tinkering with our antiquated, bureaucratic, overly cumbersome system is not enough to maintain our competitiveness in the global economy and also help our friends and allies buy the equipment they need to contribute to global security," he continued, "[Gates] strongly supports the administration's efforts to completely reform our export control regime, starting ideally with a blank sheet of paper."
How much Military Aid is each American taxpayer sending to Israel?
With respect to US arms transfer to Israel, it is estimated that 9 out of 10 American tax payers have no idea that each of them donates $20 per year just for military aid to Israel or that total US aid to Israel amounts to approximately 10 million dollars per day—every day of the year-year after year.
American public ignorance about Israel is changing fast post-Gaza and opposition to funding Israel's wars and brutal occupation is growing while Congress is trying to find ways to funnel more cash to Israel to pay for Israel's just announced international "Image enhancing" PR campaign.
The Washington DC based U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, with more than 350 American affiliates, has recently launched a new website (http://www.aidtoisrael.org) that enables Americans to see how much money their state, congressional district, county, and city provide in military aid to Israel. The informative website also provides alternative ways the money could be used in each community for things such as healthcare, affordable housing, and education. The website also provides information about the impact of U.S. weapons transfers to Israel on Palestinian civilians.
The advocacy group points out that "between 2009 and 2018, the United States is scheduled to give Israel – the largest recipient of U.S. aid – $30 billion in military aid. Through its illegal 42-year military occupation of the Palestinian West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza Strip, Israel misuses U.S. weapons in violation of U.S. law to kill and injure Palestinian civilians, destroy Palestinian civilian infrastructure, blockade the Gaza Strip, and build illegal settlements in West Bank and East Jerusalem."
At his retirement dinner last year, David Welch is reported to have told his colleagues and friends that he considered himself an American patriot who did the best he could with the cards he was given by the 'dealer'.
As grass roots organizations such as the Washington DC based End the Occupation and their hundreds of affiliates and others such as the US Council for the National Interest, seek to alter US policy and change the 'dealer,' hopefully America will engage with the Middle East on a basis of mutual respect, non-interference and peaceful co-existence.

Lieutenant Commander of Basij Forces Brigadier General Ali Fazli announced new changes in the contents of defensive preparedness curriculum at Iranian schools, and said a section on hunting and downing of alien drones will be added to high school textbooks.
"This year, we will witness changes in the contents, teachers and teaching hours of the defensive preparedness lesson," General Fazli said
in the Northeastern city of Mashhad on Saturday.
Fazli said any topic related to defensive preparedness will be added to the curriculum this year, "and hunting of spy drones ... is an example of this change of content".
He said that junior and senior high schools will present two-hour and three-hour weekly defense lessons this year, respectively.
In February, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced that it has hunted an alien Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) after the drone neared the IRGC's wargames zone in Southern Iran.
"On the first day of Payambar-e Azam 8 (The Great Prophet 8) wargames, the IRGC's electronic warfare systems detected signals showing that alien drones were trying to enter the country (airspace)," Spokesman of the Wargames General Hamid Sarkheili told reporters.
It was not the first time that Iran hunted alien drones over the country's airspace. Iran announced on December 4, 2012 that the IRGC Navy had hunted an American UAV over the Persian Gulf after the drone
violated the country's airspace.
The IRGC navy commander announced at the time that the hunted UAV was a ScanEagle drone, adding that "such drones are usually launched from large warships".
ScanEagle is a small, low-cost, long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle built by Insitu, a subsidiary of Boeing.
Capable of flying above 16,000 feet, the UAV has also demonstrated the ability to provide persistent low-altitude reconnaissance.
Iran first announced in December, 2011 that its defense forces had downed a US RQ-170 drone through a sophisticated cyber attack.
The drone was the first such loss by the US. American officials have described the loss of the aircraft in Iran as a setback and a fatal blow to their stealth drone program.
The RQ-170 has special coatings and a batwing shape designed to help it penetrate other nations' air defenses undetected. The existence of the aircraft, which is made by Lockheed Martin, has been known since 2009, when a model was photographed at the main US airfield in Kandahar, Afghanistan.bit.ly/19pXnM5

White House Confirms Obama Will Head to Copenhagen
The White House said President Barack Obama still plans to attend the Copenhagen climate-change summit, rebuffing speculation he would stay in Washington amid increasingly pessimistic expectations for the talks.
"There have been no changes in the president's plans," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters Thursday. "The president is going to try to get an agreement."
Mr. Obama is scheduled to leave Washington later Thursday, arriving Friday in Copenhagen to participate in the final days of the U.N. summit with other world leaders.
Hoping to break the deadlock in the climate talks, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton proposed Thursday that major economies, including the U.S., come up with $100 billion a year over the next decade for developing nations to fight climate change. It's unclear if the proposal will be embraced by other big economies, particularly China.
Chinese officials have opposed a proposed international review of their actions to control emissions, and have signaled that they would agree only to a brief political declaration. "We hope the Chinese will stay and be part of a solution," Mr. Gibbs said.
Asked about the political risk of going to Copenhagen but failing to deliver a meaningful agreement, Mr. Gibbs said it would be better to get nothing than ink an "empty" deal. "Coming back with an empty agreement is far worse than coming back empty handed," he said.

Organizational Structures And Their Disadvantages
The Functional Organizational Structure
Rigid communication is a common problem encountered when the company uses the Functional Organizational Form. Due to the inflexibility of the communication flow, the organization moves slow.
In Functional Organizational Structure, communications were sent but because of … it is only receive by the top part of the Organization. It was not properly disseminated to its entirety. Only the heads of the departments receives it and the lack of appropriate course of channel the communication stays there, leaving the lower part or the employee unknowing.
So it is imperative that communication among functions in an organization work through and can be receive upward, downward and sideways.
The Pre-Bureaucratic Organizational Structure
The job varies from one task to another, from one employee passed into another. This Pre-Bureaucratic type of Organizational Structure cannot deliver a reliable and steady production or result due to the irregularity of tasking.
Also, management and commands came from a single entity from the organization only. Employees cannot partake into decision-making process because this type of Organizational Structure is centralized. They cannot voice out opinion and give suggestion to make their job productive. They only follow what is they have been told to do even if they know a more appropriate way strategy or method better than the one being ordered. This leaves employees demoralized, frustrated and ignored. Those actions will make them feel unimportant to the company and they soon do their work carelessly.
However this type of Organizational Structure works in small business. Once you started to expand you need to change your organizational structure.
The Bureaucratic Organizational Structure
The flow of creativity and innovation inside an organization can be discouraged by the Bureaucratic Organizational Structure.
Not even a genius can spawn a variety of plan and strategy especially if he is working along with different people with different background and reference. If the company only abides with certain rules from old rules they have worked before it will never adapt to the changing times, whether on a marketplace legal or any business environment. A very routine structure of management kills ingenuity and promotes weariness to the employees, making them less productive.
If the company only adhere to proven practice and won't allow change to enter they are bound by old business customs that will never let them compete with today's trade and soon lost the battle of surviving in the business world.
Creativity and innovations allows new ideas to be form and get tested if it will work or not. It challenges everyone in the Company to move along the new trend and keeps inkiness, that employees can experience in a routinely job, at bay.
The Matrix Organizational Structure
With the Matrix Organizational Structure internal conflicts are common. The reason over this is authority flows not only horizontally but also sideways going over to other departments' jurisdiction. Employees can be confused upon receiving directions from different managers from different departments. Receiving a multiple command, employees cannot functional well enough to produce what are expected of them. Having dual communication over a single job can sometimes frustrate an employee. This may cause gap between employees and managers. If these issues won't be addressed immediately, the organization may soon experience employees resigning due to dissatisfaction and low morale.
The Divisional Organizational Structure
The weakness of Divisional Organizational Structure is all the politics over the office. This type promotes competition among the divisions of the company, but more often than not this also develops ill-feelings upon each division. It is more common that one division will weaken the other divisions just to be ahead of the rest. This will be very harmful for the company, because instead of working hand in hand towards one goal, their jealousy and competitiveness can undermine the other division and it may not functional well.
The Divisional Organizational Structure also brings compartmentalization that most of the time leads to incompatibilities.

Backing for PIGF-blocker
Lund/Leuven/Basel – Swedish drug development company BioInvent International AB and drug development partner Belgian ThromboGenics NV have entered into a multimillion-euro licensing agreement with Swiss pharma giant Roche. The strategic alliance encompasses the jointly developed anti-cancer agent TB-403, a humanised monoclonal antibody that blocks Placental Growth Factor (PIGF), one of the growth factors responsible for the development of new blood vessels. TB-403 (Anti-PIGF) has completed its Phase I clinical trial, and recently received approval to enter a Phase Ib dose-escalation trial. TB-403 was in-licensed by ThromboGenics from the Flanders Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) at the University of Leuven (Belgium), where the therapeutic potential of anti-PlGF agents to treat cancer was first developed.
The companies announced in June that BioInvent and ThromboGenics will receive EUR50m in an upfront payment from Roche. In addition, the Swedish and Belgian firms could potentially receive up to a450m over the term of the collaboration. Payments are dependent on the successful completion of a series of development and commercial milestones for multiple indications, as well as royalties on potential product sales, including any backup antibodies based on the inhibition of PIGF. ThromboGenics will receive 60% of the revenue from the deal, while BioInvent will take home 40%. Both firms retain the promotion rights for the antibody in the Nordic, Baltic and Bene-
lux regions. Roche receives a worldwide exclusive license to develop and commercialise the product, and assumes responsibility for all future development costs.
Roche will also provide the two companies with funding for research on non-cancer indications.

Together in Education - Re-linking Can Help Local Schools
Whether it's buying a new school bus or air conditioning an old wing, teachers and administrators alike are praising Harris Teeter's Together In Education program for what it does for their students!
Charlotte, NC
- It's that time again. Time for school bells and bus stops, time to get lunch boxes lined up and check that backpacks are filled with last night's homework. It's also time to re-link your Harris Teeter VIC card to help raise money for the school of your choice.
Last year schools earned over $1.2 million for needs that fall outside their ever-shrinking budgets. Since 1998, when Harris Teeter started the Together in Education (TIE) program, schools have earned over $4 million dollars. What have they done with it? It just might surprise some - how many schools use TIE money to accomplish some very basic needs like air conditioning, equipping bathrooms for handicap use, buying books, and even a school bus!
How does Together in Education work? Customers sign up with their VIC card and when they purchase Harris Teeter brand products, a percentage of those purchase dollars goes to the schools of their choice. Shoppers simply link the school of their choice to their VIC card. Families can link up to five schools from preschool through 12th grade and Harris Teeter will evenly distribute the money across the different school accounts.
Harris Teeter is proud of our efforts to support area schools and encourages everyone to link their VIC card to their school and "be a part of the solution." Everyone can help, and as the follow page illustrates, Together in Education helps local schools in many ways. Shoppers can re-link at the check-out next time they buy groceries or go to our website at www.harristeeter.com and click on the Together in Education link in the left-hand navigation bar.

"His attitude and work ethic have been a credit to himself and the invaluable knowledge and experience that he has passed onto the rest of the players here at Burton Albion has been priceless."
