VietnamMore info about Vietnam Browse all Vietnam tours
Those looking for a memorable Asian holiday experience need look no further than Vietnam. A destination made famous by its tumultuous history, amazingly varied landscapes, incredible food and beautiful people. Hoi An Motorbike Adventures has been operating in Vietnam for over 7 years now and has explored the length and breadth of the country going places largely left untouched by tourism.
Hoi An Motorbike Adventures is based in Hoi An, the ancient port of Central Vietnam. Famous for its laid back lifestyle, tailors and food culture, this lovely old town is ideally positioned as a gateway into Central Vietnam.
For those looking for a true Asia adventure, who want to see the real Vietnam, Hoi An Motorbike Adventures has the experience for you. A word of warning though, once you have tasted what rural Vietnam has to offer you will want to come back, again and again and again.

Still surprisingly simple, Laos offers charms many other countries in the region left behind long ago. The lifestyle is laid back, friendly and simple and it's easy to want to stay! Whether it is the stunning and unforgettable UNESCO world heritage listed Luang Prabang or the mysterious Plain of Jars to the pristine old growth rainforest or jagged limestone cliffs, Laos offers a kaleidoscope of experiences. Largely untouched by tourism, the Laos people are incredible hosts and when sipping on an ice cold beer enjoying the myriad of local food on offer, you will want to return again and again.

As with Vietnam, our tours take roads less traveled and are specially designed to show you the very best Sri Lanka has to offer.
The Pearl of the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka lies just south of the Indian sub-continent. For years Sri Lanka was ravaged by a bloody civil war and this beautiful country has only recently returned to peace and started to fully open its arms to tourists again. We have discovered it and it's an extraordinary place to visit.

Just completed Rally Indochina with Hoi An Motorcycle Adventures and their partners Explore Indochina. The Rally raised much needed funds for the Blue Dragon Children's Foundation — a cause very close to the hearts of the team in Hoi An. The guides, Mark and Glenn were fantastic—very knowledgeable and helpful—as were the excellent mechanics. The Company also runs day and multi-day trips — a great way to see Vietnam. Thoroughly recommended! Thanks guys!
Frank, England
Awesome 2-day adventure. We are both 66 and had the adventure of a lifetime! Don't feel intimidated by being a pillion, we were made welcome by all, and besides we saw more, we didn't have to look where we were going our drivers did that.
John & Faye, Australia
Must do! They are a very well sorted company catering for all level of riders and passengers and their attitude towards safety is spot on. This is the only way to do rural Vietnam justice. Travelers of all ages will get something from their tours as well as just having heaps of fun. Highly recommend.
Simon, Torquay, Australia
Rediscover motorbikes with the family. Had a fantastic day — the kids (inexperienced riders) went on the back with the friendly, experienced locals riders. I hopped back on a bike after 25 years and it all came flooding back — why did I stop doing this?
Simon, Australia
Highly Recommend. The thing I really like about this company is that it is not like other group tours. Everything is possible and can be changed. There is no rush, just feeling great on the Minsk and enjoying views. With other companies, you follow their schedule, with them, schedules can be changed and it is a lot more personal.

OUR VIEW: Leave our resources to scientists, not politicians
The Michigan Senate on Tuesday quietly approved Senate Bill 78, a bill that slaps handcuffs on the Michigan Department of Natural Resources' ability to manage its Biodiversity Stewardship Areas (BSAs) and Living Legacy Programs.
SB 78 removes DNR authority to section off and create biodiversity areas on state or private land. Authority for such action shifts to the Legislature. The Michigan Environmental Council strongly opposes the bill.
The controversial measure now moves over to the House, but as more people realize this dramatic transfer of authority, there could be more to this story.
To quote the Department of Natural Resources; "From piping clover to lake trout, Karner blue butterflies to white pine, and even the microscopic organisms living in our soils and waters — scientists call this rich biological heritage Michigan's biodiversity." Conservation of this heritage is the DNR's proclaimed mission and responsibility.
There's no doubting the DNR has zealously guarded its authority to control the management of state lands and waters. Protecting the state's natural resources is essential, but the practice inevitably frustrates people who see things differently.
Enter State Sen. Tom Casperson, sponsor of SB 78.
He says, SB 78 "aims to simply stop the DNR from implementing the Biodiversity Stewardship Area program, which would severely limit or preclude human activity on the land."
Casperson is concerned about extreme environmentalists whose agenda is to stop people from accessing our state's natural resources. He cites hundreds of thousands of acres of land designated as BSAs — more than 200,000 of which were private land. He is not against biodiversity, but he does want legislators to have more control over what is off limits to the public.
It's easy to be critical of the bureaucracy in our state agencies, especially when they possess more authority and job security than our elected officials. But preserving our precious natural resources includes the work of serious science professionals.
We're speaking here of the underpinnings of Pure Michigan. The issue is complex and serious, but the differences on the surface appear to involve merely scale and scope. We don't yet know where the devil lurks in the details, but we do know that in this matter the dedication of the scientists will outlast the attention span of the politicians.
We still like the idea of preserve and conserve.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
The shooting party: "One of Washington's big guns came to Westmoreland County yesterday for a day's shooting at the Rolling Rock Club in Ligonier Township. For the second time in two years, Vice President Dick Cheney arrived at daybreak at Arnold Palmer Airport in Latrobe. Air traffic was halted briefly at about 7 a.m. as Air Force Two landed and Cheney's security detail loaded him and his favorite shotgun into a Humvee and drove up U.S. Route 30 to the exclusive country club...
"Cheney shot more than 70 ringneck pheasants and an unknown number of mallard ducks. The birds were plucked and vacuum-packed in time for Cheney's afternoon flight to Washington, D.C. ... Scott Wakefield, a dog handler at the club, said about 500 farm-raised pheasants were released from nets for the morning hunt. The 10-man hunting party that included Cheney shot 417 pheasants. The vice president was set to hunt ducks in the afternoon."
(Needless to say, the ducks were just not flying by at the time. Rebekah Scott, Cheney in region for a day of small-game hunting, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "This wasn't a hunting ground. It was an open-air abattoir, and the vice president should be ashamed to have patronized this operation and then slaughtered so many animals," states Wayne Pacelle, a senior vice president of the Humane Society of the United States. "If the Vice President and his friends wanted to sharpen their shooting skills, they could have shot skeet or clay, not resorted to the slaughter of more than 400 creatures planted right in front of them as animated targets.")
The sailing party: At the Department of Defense website on Thursday December 12th was a dramatic photo of a sailboat with the caption, "Sail Away: The U.S. Sailing team jockeys for position and tries to find the best wind in the 6th race of the 3rd World Military Games Sailing Competition, held near Catania, Sicily, Dec. 9. The Military World Games consist of 86 participating countries and are designed to promote Peace through Sports.' U.S. Navy photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Brian P. Smarr."
The Wrestling Party:
All of a sudden, it's almost a sport figuring out what in the world is going on with the neocons, and with the Bush administration as a whole. After all, a mere 8-plus months in the pit of Iraq and they've left in the dust a proud prewar era in which there was a single party line, enforced throughout the government. Today, party lines trip over each other daily in their rush into and out of press conferences, and nobody in this administration seems to speak with one voice. In fact, it would hardly be inappropriate to say that this administration is now speaking in tongues.
Just this week, in debarring various foreign governments from the Iraq reconstruction "bidding" process (as if there really were one), the Defense Department's Paul Wolfowitz launched a shot across the bow of Jim Baker's mission. (Of course, the cannon on the DOD deck also blew sky-high in the process.) The most interesting up-close-and-dirty interpretation of Baker's mission -- ostensibly to deal with Iraq's debt burden -- can be found at Josh Marshall's talkingpointsmemo website. There, an anonymous "former high-level Democratic executive branch appointee" writes in part:
"Iraq is the site of so many mistakes, who can the Administration call on to win the game? The answer is, as so often before in Bush Family history, Jim Baker. Only the naive can think his mission -- special part-time job (so conflicts of interest will not need to be disclosed), with plane, staff, and direct report to President -- is about renegotiating Iraq's debt obligations, as if he were restructuring a company's balance sheet. This company is deep into chapter 7. It loses vast sums of money a day. Its few, severely impaired assets have been spoken for many times over. Its employees are impoverished and barely working. Its political liabilities are burgeoning: indeed it is the principal risk to the parent company's future. If Iraq could be liquidated, it would be. But instead the proprietors need to abandon it.
"Finding a way to separate Bush and the United States from Iraq is this latest, and hardest, of the Baker rescue missions.... Support for the Dean-Gore campaign shows that much of America already understands that Iraq has been a calamity for America as well as for Iraqis. The Baker mission shows that someone in the Administration also understands that third base needs a sure-handed veteran, in a hurry. So, again, a Bush's political fate is in Baker's hands."
It's not so surprising that Wolfowitz, the ultimate neocon, should want to undercut such a mission. After all, the neocons don't want out. As the Weekly Standard has made all too clear, they want in ever further. More troops, more commitment. And little wonder. Iraq was their ticket to political paradise, their all-consuming dream of the good global life. Iraq 'R Them and they're going down with it, but not without a fight.
Paul Krugman made something like this point in his Friday column (A Deliberate Debacle):
"In short, this week's diplomatic debacle probably reflects an internal power struggle, with hawks using the contracts issue as a way to prevent Republican grown-ups from regaining control of U.S. foreign policy. And initial indications are that the ploy is working -- that the hawks have, once again, managed to tap into Mr. Bush's fondness for moralistic, good-versus-evil formulations. 'It's very simple,' Mr. Bush said yesterday. 'Our people risk their lives. . . . Friendly coalition folks risk their lives. . . . The contracting is going to reflect that.'
"In the end the Bush doctrine -- based on delusions of grandeur about America's ability to dominate the world through force -- will collapse. What we've just learned is how hard and dirty the doctrine's proponents will fight against the inevitable."
The neocons aren't alone in this. For the President, every problem but Iraq, even the jobless "recovery," might at least conceivably be blamed for the time being on someone else. Yes, the Clinton economy looked good and the deficit was under control, but the underlying ... well, you know what the routine will be. The Iraq disaster, however, is George Bush's property, lock, stock and barrel (of oil, if it could be gotten out of the ground). Karl Rove knows this. The president's father knows this. We all know this. I don't happen to believe that the President will prove capable of shedding Iraq, but Baker's "mission" represents his first major attempt to do so and, as the Florida election indicated, no one should underestimate the guy.
Jim Lobe in The Axis of Incoherence, a piece posted at Antiwar.com, takes up this issue and the cross-purposes, if not near state of war, within the administration in Washington and Iraq:
"But Wednesday's embarrassing and potentially costly snafu [the Wolfowitz directive] is symptomatic of a larger problem faced by an administration that seems increasingly at sea over what to do about Iraq and whose constituent parts are trying desperately to protect their own interests.
"This has become especially clear over the past month in Iraq itself where the US military has adopted much more aggressive counterinsurgency tactics in order to reduce insurgent attacks against its own forces, even at the expense of the larger struggle waged by the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) to win the 'hearts and minds' of Iraqis...
"The CPA and the military now have 'opposing goals,' noted ret. Rear Adm. David Oliver, who just returned from a high-level CPA job... 'The military's goal has nothing to do with the (Coalition's) success...'
"And while Bush has clearly been tilting away from the hawks in favor of the realists over the past two months, incoherence is likely to persist so long as both forces retain the ability to undermine each other. That Baker was the latest victim of this incoherence on his first day of work is particularly juicy. Of all Bush's advisers, Baker -- a dyed-in-the-wool realist who, as Ronald Reagan's chief of staff and secretary of state during the first Gulf War, showed little patience for bureaucratic or ideological intrigue, least of all by neo-conservatives -- may be very well-placed to correct the problem."
Baker assumedly would "correct" the problem by trying to peel off the neocons from this administration. One can already sense the rising animosity on the neocon side of this equation in two curious documents issued this week by William Kristol, who runs the neocon bible, the Weekly Standard, until now much attended to inside Bush's beltway. The first was an op-ed in the Washington Post in which Kristol wrote a reasonably coherent script for a Dean path to victory in 2004 and managed in the process to suggest a neocon stab-in-the-back theory of the election to come (How Dean could win...):
"But what about Sept. 11? Surely Bush's response to the attacks, and his overall leadership in the war on terrorism, remain compelling reasons to keep him in office. They do for me. But while Bush is committed to victory in that war, his secretary of state seems committed to diplomatic compromise, and his secretary of defense to an odd kind of muscle-flexing-disengagement. And when Bush's chief of staff, Andrew H. Card Jr., said on Sunday with regard to Iraq, 'We're going to get out of there as quickly as we can, but not before we finish the mission at hand,' one wonders: Wouldn't Howard Dean agree with that formulation? Indeed, doesn't the first half of that sentence suggest that even the most senior of Bush's subordinates haven't really internalized the president's view of the fundamental character of this war? If they haven't, will the American people grasp the need for Bush's continued leadership on Nov. 2? If not, prepare for President Dean."
Do I hear the first stirrings of a "who lost Iraq" debate on the right? In the very same week, in his own magazine, writing of the President's decision to "chastise" Taiwan's leader for his proposed missile referendum, Kristol with buddies Robert Kagan and Gary Schmitt, all directors of the notorious Project for a New American Century, wielded one of the most damning words in the right's arsenal (Bush Speaks on China and Taiwan, President Bush chooses to partly appease the Chinese and chastise Taiwan):
"The president's statement today is a mistake. Appeasement of a dictatorship simply invites further attempts at intimidation. Standing with democratic Taiwan would secure stability in East Asia. Seeming to reward Beijing's bullying will not."
Appeasement? Them's fightin' words. Only Neville Chamberlain and Democrats "appease."
Jim Lobe of Inter Press Service -- this is the all-Lobe dispatch, it seems -- suggests that the neocons and allied hawks right up to the vice-president may soon be history in a fine piece of speculation on inside-the-Beltway wars. He also sent me the following small but fascinating tidbit, which should whet your appetite for the longer piece:
"Some analysts believe that Baker's return was promoted by Rove as part of a discreet ''dump-Cheney'' campaign. Philip Giraldi, a former CIA officer and political columnist for the American Conservative, wrote this week that Baker and Scowcroft are ''orchestrating'' a Rove-backed campaign to blame Cheney and the neo-conservatives around him and in the Pentagon for botching Iraq and, with it, Bush's re-election chances."
The question is, will the "realists" -- Baker, Blackwill et. al. -- as he calls them, be able to enclose Washington's neocon "Sunni Triangle" in barbed wire and conduct a successful suppression campaign? This sort of strategy usually turns out to be a lot more difficult than anyone imagines. We already have an administration near the boiling point. Parts of the intelligence "community" are enraged (where did the Plame case go anyway? Check out Rep. Henry Waxman's recent call for "whistleblowers"); the military is stretched to the psychic limit and angry; and as the Busheviks found out with CIA Director George Tenet, you can set up that plank, but it's hard to make people walk it. Too many terrible stories about "appeasement" just waiting to come out.
The media demobilized:
But for a minute, let's dream the dream. Let's imagine that at least the lower level neocons will be peeled away as Lobe suggests. That would remove the utopian dreamers and take us down to the bedrock-vision thing of this administration -- and such a thing exists. Let me suggest it by juxtaposing two passages from two pieces, starting with a paragraph from a Robert Kennedy Jr. piece discussed in an earlier environmental dispatch. Kennedy writes (Crimes against Nature):
"There is no better example of the corporate cronyism now hijacking American democracy than the White House's cozy relationship with the energy industry. It's hard to find anyone on Bush's staff who does not have extensive corporate connections, but fossil-fuel executives rule the roost. The energy industry contributed more than $48.3 million to Republicans in the 2000 election cycle, with $3 million to Bush. Now the investment has matured. Both Bush and Cheney came out of the oil patch. Thirty-one of the Bush transition team's forty-eight members had energy-industry ties. Bush's cabinet and White House staff is an energy-industry dream team -- four cabinet secretaries, the six most powerful White House officials and more than twenty high-level appointees are alumni of the industry and its allies."
And here, from a recent Los Angeles Times op-ed by William D. Hartung, The Booming Defense Business), the second passage:
"As soon as he took office, Rumsfeld set out to recruit a core group of corporate executives to run the Pentagon in what one commentator described as 'Department of Defense Inc.' Nowhere was Rumsfeld's vision of a corporate-dominated department more evident than in his initial choices to run three military services: Secretary of the Air Force James Roche, a former vice president at Northrop Grumman; Secretary of the Navy Gordon England, a former executive at General Dynamics; and former Secretary of the Army Thomas E. White, who came from Enron.
"In its first year and a half in office, the Bush administration named 32 appointees to top policymaking positions who were former executives, paid consultants or major shareholders of top defense contractors."
The point is, these are not just names or positions set side by side. This administration is all about linkages on the largest scale -- unbelievably tight linkages that add up perhaps less to a vision of the world than to a way of life. Of these linkages, only one has surfaced in any significant way in our media recently -- and that is Halliburton, the former bailiwick of our vice-president. The New York Times and ABC News in particular have suddenly taken out after the company on the issue of overcharging the government for gas transported into Iraq, and Howard Dean may have broken out of his race-for-the-nomination news ghetto by calling for an investigation of the company, focusing on Cheney's "ethics." Of course, if our media worked right, the only front-page story worth reporting on Halliburton -- because it would be truly out of the ordinary -- would have a headline like, "Halliburton Undercharges U.S. Government for Iraqi Gas Deliveries." But for a headline like that ever to be front-page news, there would have to be an understanding that this was a government of plunderers whose nature is to overcharge us for everything.
We have a regime in Washington for whom linkages are exactly what matters and those linkages have driven our leaders to a vision of how the world works and could conceivably be controlled, a vision that focuses on energy flows and military power. They see the world, quite correctly and quite naturally -- this is what their experience has taught them -- as a set of energy flows that keep the planetary system going just the way your bloodstream with its heart, valves, arteries and veins keeps you going. Of course, it's hardly a complicated step then to imagine that the globe's energy heart, valves, arteries and veins can be controlled in various ways with the correct sort of planning.
As they read the energy journals and listen to insider talk, they also are aware of the sort of thing that George Monbiot wrote about in a recent column for the Guardian (Bottom of the barrel):
"Every generation has its taboo, and ours is this: that the resource upon which our lives have been built is running out. We don't talk about it because we cannot imagine it. This is a civilisation in denial.
"Oil itself won't disappear, but extracting what remains is becoming ever more difficult and expensive. The discovery of new reserves peaked in the 1960s. Every year we use four times as much oil as we find. All the big strikes appear to have been made long ago... No one with expertise in the field is in any doubt that the global production of oil will peak before long. The only question is how long. The most optimistic projections are the ones produced by the US department of energy, which claims that this will not take place until 2037. But the US energy information agency has admitted that the government's figures have been fudged... Other analysts are less sanguine. The petroleum geologist Colin Campbell calculates that global extraction will peak before 2010."
David Ignatius wrote a column in a similar vein in The Washington Post last month, but generally in our media the rule might be: Energy bills, yes. Energy flows, well, they're a country by country matter to be reported, if at all, on business pages. Yet the Iraq war was waged by men with a sophisticated sense of energy flows and a belief that fossil fuels, which do power the world, may be running down. Admittedly, fears that such energy sources would run out or dry up have been raised almost since fossil fuels were first used as major power sources, and this latest set of fears might be just the next set to be disproved. I'm not judging the reality here, just saying that nailing down oil and natural gas reserves for the future is the way these men think. And it makes sense given their backgrounds and their worldview. After all, to a large extent, you are what you've done and who you know.
Where this sort of thinking came up in our media before or during the Iraq war, it was generally reduced to the poster-board slogan, "No war for oil," pasted on the antiwar opposition and then dismissed as ridiculously simpleminded. As if we either went into Iraq for the literal oil under the ground and nothing else, or the war had nothing to do with oil. Since then, the very subject has been largely forgotten and oil has once again become a limited business-section story.
Similarly, the Busheviks tend to think in terms of linkages on the matter of military power, and on a very large scale at that. First of all, Rumsfeld is hardly alone among them in believing that taking the "high ground," in this case space, with all sorts of futuristic weaponry in programs run by corporations funded in part by the building of "missile defense" systems, is the way to go. This is no secret.
Here's Rumsfeld citing space as "fundamental to modern warfare" in a recent DOD press release (Gerry J. Gilmore, Space, Missile Defense Essential To Defense, Rumsfeld Says, American Forces Press Service):
"Defending America, its overseas military and its allies from ballistic missiles laden with weapons of mass destruction 'is now America's highest priority,' Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld noted today.... 'Over the past few years we have recognized that space and information are not only enablers, but (also) core war fighting competencies,' Rumsfeld said, adding, 'That realization is being validated in both Afghanistan and Iraq.'"
Recently, Bill Berkowitz, who does a column for the www.workingforchange.com website, wrote a superb piece on our space warriors, pointing out that (Space Wars, Apocalypse Soon?):
"While Lt. Gen. Boykin's [anti-Islamic] remarks had an Apocalypse Now vibe to them, the other Lieutenant General -- Lt. Gen. Edward Anderson, a deputy commander of US Northern Command -- was more focused on Apocalypse Soon: He told an audience at a geospatial intelligence conference in New Orleans that war in space was, well, pretty much inevitable... Lt. Gen. Anderson's remarks stirred up only a few headlines, caused a slight rumble on the Internet, and then drifted off into the media-saturated ether. In this day and age, anti-Muslim-war-against-terrorism speechifying trumps warnings of real wars just about every time."
Similarly, Reuben Pedatzur in the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz offered some interestingly jaded comments on missile defense (Only two countries in the world):
"There's something amusing about the debate that's been going on for the last four decades over the question of developing defense systems against ballistic missiles. The facts don't change, nor do they confuse the supporters of defense systems, who will always find reasons to continue investing tens of billions of dollars in advanced technologies that are dubious at best and almost certainly unnecessary... [T]he supporters of ABM systems won't allow logic, facts and basic strategic analysis interfere with their way of thinking. Therefore in the last 15 years, the U.S. has allocated some $90 billion developing ABM systems, and as of now, still does not have a single operational system. In a study published in January, researchers from two major think tanks said the costs of American-developed defensive systems against missiles will reach the fantastic sum of somewhere between $800 billion and $1.2 trillion by 2025."
You can find this sort of thing in Pentagon hand-outs, on the web, and in the foreign press. But the drive to occupy our still largely demilitarized heavens, and the links between this drive, the Bush administration, and a range of American weapons corporations -- totally basic thinking for Rumsfeld and his confreres -- can't be found where Americans in large numbers get their information. Similarly, except on the odd op-ed page or in the odd column (such as this striking example from James Carroll of the Boston Globe), the idea that our wars might be driven by war profits and the complex corporate system that goes with them exists nowhere in the mainstream. Consequently, the "lease everything" privatizing thinking that goes with that is also largely absent (except in its details and particulars which make up what news stories there are on the subject) -- other than on the web, in alternative publications and abroad.
Of the urge to put the military, which occupies much of the world via its 700-plus bases, into the private "hands" of small numbers of corporate entities, James Ridgeway of New York's Village Voice recently wrote (Rumsfeld Watch)
"If Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has his way, the vaunted U.S. military of the future will be transformed into what amounts to corporate-owned units.... The intention, he claims, is to put the lid on money going into expanding of the army so it can be diverted to new technologies such as Rummy's favorite hobby, fighting wars from space.
"Rumsfeld has already outsourced much of the logistics and supply functions of the military to private firms, especially to Cheney's old employer Halliburton. There are now 90-odd companies competing to provide private soldiers from places like Fiji and Nepal to work as machine-gun-toting guards in Iraq. Rumsfeld has considered privatizing U.S. military arsenals, its ammunition plants, and repair depots by spinning them off into federal corporations modeled along the lines of Fannie Mae. The secretary, whom Jesse Helms once called 'the Energizer Bunny,' also wants to free up some of the military budget as venture capital to entice private industry into running our armed forces."
The single best piece I've seen on the subject of privatizing the military appeared recently in the British Guardian. There, Ian Traynor wrote of warfare's new corporate feudalism, in which even the "natives" brought in to do the dirty work of occupation -- the Gurkhas, Fijians and the like -- are provided by vast corporate fiefdoms; weapons systems are in essence proprietary war systems, manned by private technicians ("When America launched its invasion in March, the battleships in the Gulf were manned by US navy personnel. But alongside them sat civilians from four companies operating some of the world's most sophisticated weapons systems"); and the "downsizing" of national war machines has stoked the up-sizing of private versions of the same. This remarkable picture of our new military -- second-nature to our leaders -- remains largely unknown to the American public.
The connections are missing. Here we are with a government focused wildly, almost madly, on a vision of the world which takes them from the Alaska oil fields to Washington to Iraq to space, and our newspapers and TV stations have largely demobilized, delinking all their analyses, focusing only the most nationally limited of stories. Here, for instance, is a rare passage, plucked from a week-old New York Times piece on the speedy arrival of our secretary of defense in post-"velvet revolution" Georgia. It was the fourth paragraph in a Thom Shankar report tucked away inside the paper, but at least you can count three countries and a pipeline in it. In that, it stands, like the cheese of children's rhyme fame, surprisingly alone in our delinked world of news reportage:
"The United States views Georgia as a strategic partner, in part for its location, along an arc of instability in a region thought to be a crossroads for terrorists. A pipeline set to open in 2005 linking Azerbaijan, which Mr. Rumsfeld visited Thursday, and Turkey, NATO's only Islamic member, runs across Georgia, as well."

The last time New Zealand played in Hyderabad, in 2010, Brendon McCullum hit a rocking double century and Harbhajan Singh called the pitch 'a highway'. The match ended in a tame draw.
So, YL Chandrasekar, curator at the Rajiv Gandhi stadium, was naturally wary when the media approached him on Tuesday to check on how the wicket for the first Test will behave.
"You guys will put me in trouble. I can only tell this much," he said.
However, he predicted that the pitch would help spinners.
"We have added red soil to the usual black soil to help give the wicket some turn," he said.
"It should start turning after the second day." According to pitch experts, black soil binds strongly while red soil disintegrates quickly, which helps spin.
"What it (the addition of red soil) promises is good bounce and it cracks pretty early," added Chandrasekhar.
Suresh Raina bowled in the nets for a long time and presumably, MS Dhoni saw something in the wicket to allow his batsman, trying to make a Test comeback, to bowl at length.

Social impact bonds – a sign of things to come in a jurisdiction near you? At the very least, something of interest to contract drafters everywhere:
Goldman Sachs has loaned $9.6M to New York City to fund a new social services program with the aim of "reducing recidivism among young men at Rikers Island." Details are to be provided later today (Thursday). The loans are being described as "social impact bonds" and they carry a nice return ($2.1 million) if there is a "significant reduction" in recidivism.

Mut and Merloni give their initial reactions to Tom Brady's comments to the media about Aaron Hernandez.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
That is Tom Brady had called me thoughtfully guarded Tom Brady from we -- -- live at Gillette Stadium Lou 937. WEEI he spoke for what 1415 minutes. Gave you answers to most of the questions couple times he was asked about Hernandez directly instead to stay -- -- me. Not to talk about him but didn't give I thought some. Some pretty thoughtful but pretty guarded answers not wanting to really get into it all his own. A motions about how this whole thing affected him. Our affected the patriots now a senior analysts he handles things you got a tweet from Nathan MW TI at literally dolphins fan by the way he says -- But as Tom -- most multiple employer and -- Internet and so. The way he handled that there -- every question -- and it was probably what the first 678 words. Out of his mouth and you could almost see him thinking. Kate how connect QQ the company line up -- to my emotions are what they -- -- -- here and it's. A new season and I'm looking forward to is that everything he started off with was. How are helping get to. My responsibilities as team as a captain as a leader it was everything he did because skirted around it that Stacey James PR. We're -- -- -- a lot of talk about Aaron Hernandez. Very guarded. You know I would -- Extra IndyCar I thought we guarded yet thoughtful answers to some of the questions but definitely did not wanna give you his opinion on -- how he felt personally you know it it. It felt like he wanted to move away from his own cell whose national Heidi feel of Steve Burton might ask the question hot. When you found out had feelings Dallas so long ago I don't remember. You -- you wanna give you how he felt he'd wanna talk about how we felt. I'm so obviously very well prepared he's very well spoken sound the good guy it's gonna go from the football field. Washington DC in a matter of minutes your right when this football career his is over he sounds like a politician any answer those questions. -- today. And up the one answer he didn't give you that was maybe the most critical if there was anything is being closely critical of Aaron Hernandez. Was about someone asked him about distractions. And somebody asked about me and that the situation being an extraction and his quote was. I try never to be a distraction and and I -- that to my teammates to never be a person but someone has the comment on. That was literally is closest he got. Really not not blaming Hernandez but almost that you being annoyed. The asked the go through this and that was really get in even now I admit I am stretching. To really find any sort of correlated to that -- right there. And Hernandez but that was the one night took out yeah a lot of references to the past and when the patriots right a lot of them were asked appoint him -- Vrabel and and Troy brown and Deion Branch and guys that. He knew again and do his job that he. Done. That made his job easier that represented the patriot way you go to the patriots let's forget about the patriot way the patriots on the field off the field did all the right things. Reference that a few times the dramatic reinforce that -- this was Tuesday a bad egg basically. In a bad situation all around yet and and -- who had -- -- police in south for some of the other players spoken -- Vince Wilfork. Spoke there as well today I know Brady was asked -- football questions there at the end it was weird it's almost like those football questions. Didn't fit in with the day -- he's been asked questions about receivers and how do you move on and yeah it was almost like -- didn't fit this this day for these captains to go out there. I speak from my guess Wilfork and others will also be asked. Similar questions here today 61777979837. Is a phone number you can Texas on the eighteenth -- text line. At 379. 37 Chris is in Connecticut next -- a -- Ludacris. Good morning. I mean it looks at it as important as -- and I -- -- complete nightmare. And now. Which we're -- orchestrated. This group that well -- goes out yesterday. Salute you peaked in terms of what they're trying to accomplish number one and they're trying to get this item in the ethnic and so it's not a distraction. But it could be a distraction has that goes on like -- guy. -- -- -- And -- would compete with -- -- -- Important reason that this thing is gonna come at an even possibly -- now. It's going to be continued. This year and has. And then. -- patently opinions. About it. And then McCain -- -- keep up anymore and I didn't live through it didn't execute it. And it didn't pick and -- at. -- didn't look at speaking to implement them and interest that they took it straight. And that. He didn't -- With the government and that the thought entered. That he can. The league office and it's it's it's it's going to be -- major that you actually mission that I wouldn't I'd gotten beaten. Is getting an adult and I'm from the patriot. At that moment to -- -- it's not going to be good. Out outside the lines Chris. You look -- and I'll let that. But I know I'm actually not that you can do it. It appears to see how they define the patriot way and the probably gonna attack character and its. The wrong definition that a lot of people have you know -- major ways is out into the patriots in the hole. You with the media patriot waited Chad Johnson got an idea -- way you multi multi mouth become nominee of -- media. Two -- adamant -- cute quarterback your wide receiver now your corner you do whatever is best for the team put the team first to me that's a major way. Of accuracy -- define -- Well when I -- Tom Brady it was. He's good at what he does -- in the week he talks the media but Bill Belichick and awful but it needed. All I -- this enjoy a grade them out. You know a lot -- it -- it was way against this this a sports media Sports Radio thing to do but I agree -- -- percent -- thinking about now how Brady just sounded. Arnold didn't who -- a more human. In terms of their response you know what it's it's. This thing with the Dodgers these guys talking about the institute say I need to get what I want from the sky I'm not going to be satisfied. The fact that he just address this the right way to gold bought it -- before reporters addressed that today. Operate tomorrow morning after practice they ask what -- in his diary drastic tomorrow. -- I mean -- number he's moved on. These questions might try. But he can now I'd sign up already addressed to our interest yesterday -- Sony that was it was actually similar thinking about announcing two point -- -- similar kind of expand a single what he said the other data Peter King there was not a lot of emotion there and I don't know maybe. It's unfair to Brady but he definitely. Belichick came off as more human you know is is became a crosses. Sincere but -- human humans the word. Yeah Brady was very hot political. About a -- a politician -- will be. After this football career whereas Belichick felt there was more more humanity to what he had to say there. 61777979837. Is the phone number AT&T text line is 379. -- 37. WEEI dot com's Chris price. Was talking to Vince Wilfork on the field -- to a state.

If you're a homebuyer looking to finance a new property or those much-needed renovations, you might think about taking out a tailored home-loan with the flexibility to use the healthy nest-egg already behind you to slash the cost of your mortgage repayments.
The interest-only loan
This option known as the interest-only home loan provides you with a bridging mechanism that frees you from the costly expense of paying interest on the principal sum.
With the principal due at the duration of the loan (usually two to five years) the recipient of the loan can use the savings to pursue other high-return acquisitions or put the difference towards that much needed holiday.
Who is this interest only loan suitable for?
If you want to defer the cost of a property acquisition to a later date, the interest-only loan is the ideal instrument to snap up that real-estate bargain without being extorted into a mortgage that costs an arm and a leg. The interest-only loan offers the borrower the ideal opportunity to put their assets to work servicing their own future growth and enjoyment, rather than servicing the hefty repayment load of the requisite mortgagee.
So if you are tired of being encumbered with high repayments and don't want to see your hard-earned cash tied up in needless debt installments, why not visit the eChoice to find the interest-only loan that is suitable for you. While you are there, check out the easy to use mortgage calculator and compare the interest-only loan with other eChoice home loans.

I always thought that red lingerie was kind of a cliche. On tv and in the movies, lingerie always seems to be red. Or black. But black seems to be less of a cliche because it is kind of a classic. After seeing these photos of Wifey showing off her voluptuous curves (including her 34f tits) in this barely there, sheer teddy and matching red high heels, I know longer feel that way about red lingerie. In fact, it now seems to be my absolute favorite. Visit today to see thousands of amateur photos and videos featuring Wifeysworld.comWifey in and out of her lingerie. As you might have heard, she also shares photos of her and hubby fucking, sucking and getting covered in huge loads of cum!

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
"We must meet as Americans, not as Democrats or Republicans, and we must meet until this crisis is resolved," John McCain said on Wednesday, explaining his decision to suspend his campaign and not participate in the first presidential debate. A McCain aide told Reuters, "If the package is reached and the country is saved, there will be a debate. But if there's no deal, how can you get on a plane...for a debate?"
On Friday morning, McCain's campaign released this statement:
He is optimistic that there has been significant progress toward a bipartisan agreement now that there is a framework for all parties to be represented in negotiations, including Representative Blunt as a designated negotiator for House Republicans. The McCain campaign is resuming all activities and the Senator will travel to the debate this afternoon.
Note the adjustment in standards. First, the McCain camp said deal or no debate. Two days later, the position was, negotiations are under way so let's debate. Was this change an act of decisive leadership or a necessary political flip-flop? Maybe Jim Lehrer, the moderator of Friday night's debate, can ask him that.

Party Patrol – WMC Edition
Winter Music Conference has finally arrived. From nightclubs, to lounges, to hotels – every venue on the beach will be packed with music lovers from around the world looking to party it up! No matter were you go, you'll find some of the best DJs ready to tear it up on the turntables to keep you dancing day and night. It was tough to choose, but here is the WMC edition of Party Patrol.
Standard Sounds Presents Uffie
40 Island Ave., Miami Beach
Start the festivities early at the Standard Hotel as you check out a special performance by Electro, Dance Pop artist Uffie. Since her single "Hot Chick" exploded on the scene in 2006 she has been making a name for herself in the underground scene while working on her debut album, Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans. Check out this little firecracker as she performs hits like "Pop the Glock", "Robot Oeuf" and more.
It all starts at 8 p.m. and is free to the public with RSVP to email@example.com
Uffie – Pop The Glock (Damgroove Remix) by Damgroove
Dirty Dutch Take Over
4441 Collins Ave., Miami Beach
After checking out Uffie at the Standard, keep the party going over at LIV nightclub for a Dirty Dutch takeover by DJ Chuckie. "Let the Bass Kick" and dance to the best in electro, house, and dance music hits by one of the biggest names in the industry. When Chuckie's on the decks there's no one sitting down. The music is high-energy, bass pounding and the crowd goes absolutely wild!
Doors open at 11 p.m. and dress code is strictly enforced. Tickets are $73 at WantTickets.com
Chuckie – Let The Bass Kick by dirtydutchrecords
Snoopadelic at LIV
4441 Collins Ave., Miami Beach
I try to mix it up on the Party Patrol, but Thursday night I recommend double-dipping and returning to LIV for a very special event featuring the one and only Snoop Dogg as Snoopadellic. He's taking a break from the mic and taking over the decks alongside one of Miami's finest – DJ Ross One. This is one party you don't want to miss.
Doors open at 11 p.m. and dress code is strictly enforced. For tickets head over to WantTickets.com
One more thing. If serious House music is what you want, head downstairs to Arkadia for a special edition of Subliminal Sessions with Erick Morillo, Harry "Choo Choo" Romero, Jose Nunez, and Antranig. This line-up is going to be SICK!
Tickets for this event are also available online at WantTickets.com
JUICY Music 10-year Anniversary at Mynt Lounge
1921 Collins Av., Miami Beach
Just down the street from LIV you'll find one of the biggest events of the week going on at Mynt Lounge. This year marks the 10-Year Anniversary of JUICY MUSIC and they're doing it up big! Robbie Rivera and Willie Morales will get the crowd hype as they toast to a decade of Juicy hits!
Doors open at 11:30 p.m. and table reservations are strongly suggested. Or get your pre-sale tickets here so you don't get left outside.
Swanky Tunes – Old Skool (Robbie Rivera & Willie Morales Mix) by Willie Morales
Made In Miami at the Shelborne
1801 Collins Ave., Miami Beach
The fun kicks off early as we start the weekend with a special MADE IN MIAMI pool party over at the Shelborne. Nervous Records takes over the legendary pool party with a ridiculous line-up from noon until 10:30 p.m. Oscar G headlines alongside Behrouz, Rony Seikaly, Ralph Falcon, Lazardo Casanova, Jon Cowan, Stryke, DMS12, Edgar V, and Danny Daze to bring you the best Miami has to offer. Put on your sexiest swimsuit and get poolside at the Shelborne!
Doors open at noon and swimsuit attire suggested. Tickets available at WantTickets.com
Oscar G & Ralph Falcon – Dark beat 2010 (Ivan Gomez & Nacho Chapado Remix) by ivangomezmusic
AR RATED at Whiskey Blue present DJ JAZZY JEFF
401 N. Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd., Fort Lauderdale
If you live in Miami than you know all about DJ Irie's Artist Related group. They are some of the hottest DJs in South Florida. Now they're taking over Fort Lauderdale with a new series at Whiskey Blue inside the W Hotel. Artists Related and the Gerber Group have teamed up to bring you AR Rated. Friday night take a breather from South Beach and make the trip to the W Fort Lauderdale for a night with one of hip-hop's finest – DJ JAZZY JEFF! He'll be on the 1's and 2's alongside DJ Irie for a night of non-stop hits! The party starts at 9 p.m. in the W's Living Room before heading downstairs to Whiskey Blue.
Dress code is funky and fresh. Tickets available at WantTickets.com
Mayer Hawthorne – No Strings (Roller Boogie Remix by DJ Jazzy Jeff) by stonesthrow
Yves Larock and Wally Lopez take over WALL
2201 Collins Ave., Miami Beach
If you're not in the mood for a drive to the W in Ft. Laudy, don't fret and party it up at WALL at the W South Beach. "Rise Up", "Listen to the Voice Inside", and let the music move you as you dance the night away to music by special guests DJ Yves Larock and Wally Lopez ("Disco Night") as they take over this exclusive, sexy lounge for WMC 2011.
Doors open at 10 p.m. Tables for groups of six and eight can be reserved at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Yves Larock feat Trisha – Milky Way (Original Mix) by milliarecords
Questlove at the Florida Room
1685 Collins Ave., Miami Beach
Who said WMC was only for electronic music lovers? This week the Florida Room at Delano is getting in on the action with a special line-up. Saturday night check out hip-hop superstar Questlove from The Roots as he performs live presented by Giant Step.
It all starts at 10 p.m. and dress code is sexy chic. For table reservations or to RSVP, call 305-674-6152 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Sindustry Social at Jazid
1342 Washington Ave., Miami Beach
If you want to skip out on the major lines , one place to go where you can still get amazing music will be Jazid. They have a great WMC line-up that is very budget friendly for all you music lovers and locals. Saturday night check out the special WMC Sindusrty Social event where NSB Radio meets MAYHEM Artists Solutions. The line-up will feature special guests DJ Heavy Grinder, Malo, Becci, Kharma, Kriya, Inconspiquos Villian, Beat Massa, Sean Fee Mick–E, Rolls Ryce, and more.
Dress code is chill and admission is only $20 after 10 p.m.
PVD at Mansion
1235 Washington Ave, Miami Beach
Saturday night there are plenty of venues to choose from that will have a kick-ass party, but for me, I'm all about Paul VanDyk . This internationally known DJ will rule the decks alongside special guests Filo & Peri for a night of intense house and trance as he drops hits like "Time of Our Lives", "Inspiration" by Pryda, and others. The music will take over your body as the crowd dances to every beat. Loose yourself in the sound and let the spirit of WMC take over as you close out the weekend with a bang at Mansion!
Doors open at 11 p.m. and dress to impress. Tickets available at WantTickets.com
