Not so good

The product amount is too little for the price that fools you into thinking its cheap. It Gets dirty and its impossible to clean without taking all the remover out of the pen. You end up with a thick black gross eyeliner So it's a waste of money... Don't recommend this product.

As always ecotools, good job. I love how it feels you have no lashes on! They're so light and easy to use! It makes me want to use them everyday and I could, cause they're easy and comfortable! The only thing I don't like is the fact that the glue that attaches the lashes to the packet is sooo hard to remove for the first time!! I would like an advice of how to remove it easily...
Love this pack

The eyeshadow colors are different from the picture. They're more purpulish mauvy, very very pretty colors! Excellent for summer, could make smoky for night time or light for daytime. Pretty pigmented! I haven't tried the mascara, cause I never like elf mascaras. The eyeliner is soft and it doesn't stay very long unless you use a primer. The lashes are kinda. Dramatic for me, I'll wear them on a date night or something like that. The sharpener is always useful! And the applicators as usual.... Never use them.. So I guess it's a 50 hit and 50 miss! I do recommend it though ;)
So in love

This product is not only Eco friendly! It's sooooo pretty! So useful! The color is stunning. Very pigmented, so blendable, creamy. I use the brown shade wet for eyeliner, looks very pretty! the eyeshadows are not powdery and the little brush actually works, i use it for eyeliner and patting, not good for blending out the color. Excellent size for me. The mirror is pretty and good size, not too small. It's gonna be with me every time I go out of my house. Love it love it love it. I wish iherb sell different color pans very soon cause I love the idea of mixing them and travel with your favorite colors for the day. I'm in love with this brand and looking forward to try more products. The price totally worth it. Comparable with the tarte brand.
Very good

Excellent for under eye circles! Not very good at covering blemishes or dark spots in medium to dark skin tones (too light). Very light weight. Could be use as highlight!
Pretty but not useful

One of the shadows a came broken, wich is wird because everything else was just perfect.. The brush is soft but nothing special. Usable. The eyeshadows pigments are not strong. The lashes looks too fake. And the glue doesn't stick at all. The sponges are useless. The sharpener is good, useful. The pencil is ok too. Don't last much, but it's ok. The mascara, as usual, suck.

My dogs plays with homeless cats and we take them out to football country fields. They used to come back home with every flea in the world, also mosquito bites! I can have them protected and without the annoying itchiness. The smell, on the downside, is extremely annoying for them and for us. So we have to spray them outdoors, otherwise the four of us (my two dogs, my husband and i) sneeze like crazy! After good ten minutes for the smell t o go away, my dogs doesn't even bother on the smell and they're so happy. And I can feel comfortable and relaxed knowing my dogs are protected. As the only not harmful product on the market for this purpose, I would totally repurchase this. Even though I hate the smell and my dogs sneeze from it.
Not what expected

I was expecting it to have fruty or flower smell. It's has citric smell and fresh scent and leaves a woody smell when sets, kinda itchy to my nose. I'm not liking the smell so far. Very pricy so ill keep trying it. Pretty package on a crystal opaque bottle, pink liquid. Transparent plastic cap with metal looking spray. Very pretty. The spray gives a uniform very thin mist. A shame for the smell. Update: I'm enjoying this scent more now its fall, the musky smell goes with my mood. It's kinda fresh and spicy at the same time.
So so

Good product so far. Ill continue using it. Stings my eyes pretty bad. So I have to keep it away from my eyes. Is not oily and absorbs pretty fast. It's a pretty good amount of product for the price and a little goes a long way. Ill let you know if clarifies my dark spots.
Very good

The size is more like travel size. Pretty small. Purple is sheer, so you need three coats for it to show. The navy is very dark, have some sparkles in it and I LOVE it! Works so cool with edgy stile. The metal madness is so cool for night time! Has some fine glitter but it looks like a starry sky! I have a problem with one of the polishes cap. The shape doesn't fit when I close it properly so, in order to fit the shape of the package, the cap has to be a little loose. It can cause air filter into the product and dry it out. So.. I'm not glad with that. (That's why I took a whole star out if it) Still recommend this product. Maybe it was my bad luck..

Ohio State's band may have a new director, but that's not stopping them from producing buzz-worthy halftime performances.
During the half on Saturday against Cincinnati, the band paid tribute to the Wizard of Oz with an eight-minute performance covering the entire movie. The band transforms from a swirling tornado, the wizard's castle and even a Wicked Witch of the West who charges across the field.
They even got in a dig at Michigan.To read more or comment...
For the third time this season, Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett has been named the top freshman in the Big Ten.
Barrett was the co-winner of the week along with Northwestern linebacker Anthony Walker.
In Ohio State's 50-28 win over Cincinnati on Saturday, Barrett completed 26 of 36 passes for 30 yards and four touchdowns. Barrett also ran for 79 yards.
On the season Barrett now has 1,087 yards and 13 touchdowns passing and 205 rushing yards.To read more or comment...
Following Ohio State's 66-0 win against Kent State on Saturday, redshirt freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett was named Big Ten Offensive Player and Freshman of the Week.
Barrett tied an Ohio State record with six touchdown passes against the Golden Flashes. He threw for 312 yards while completing 76.7 percent of his passes.
Ohio State is off this week before playing Cincinnati on Sept. 27.
Barrett's six touchdown passes matches the record set by Kenny Guiton a season ago.To read more or comment...
There isn't a lot that can be said when one team pounds another to the tune of 66-0, but for the Ohio State Buckeyes the win over Kent State could say a lot after their beat down from Virginia Tech last week:
They needed this win. Even Urban Meyer knew it and admitted as much in his post-game presser. The magic words: "we had to have a game like this."
But who needed it more: The offense and especially the offensive line that allowed quarterback J.T. Barrett to get pounded on last weekend against the Hokies. They started off a wee bit rocky early against the Golden Flashes, who started the game with a bear defense, but quickly settled down. The result 628 yards of total offense and Barrett tossed six TDs, matching Kenny Guiton's record from last season.
But maybe the defense: The secondary looked especially suspect last week playing soft coverage and getting beat. Meyer laid down the law this week on that matter and theTo read more or comment...
COLUMBUS: It didn't take long for the Ohio State University football team to assert what was going to happen against Kent State University.
Both football teams teed up Saturday's game at Ohio Stadium knowing they each had a problems. The Buckeyes came in knowing that after last week's whooping against Virginia Tech, they had absolutely zero wiggle room. They needed to dominate the Golden Flashes and left little doubt that was the plan in beating the Golden Flashes 66-0.To read more or comment...

Rhyce Shaw says he will wait until the end of Sydney's premiership campaign before deciding whether he will play on next year.
The running defender is due to come out of contract at the end of the season and will be guided by his physical wellbeing and the club's wishes before making a call on whether to play on.
His numbers this season suggest Shaw still has plenty to offer the Swans. After missing much of last year with injury, he has played 14 of the Swans' 18 games, averaging 22 possessions and providing plenty of run from the Swans' defence.
Should he retire, it would leave a big hole in the Swans side, particularly if fellow playmaker Nick Malceski, whose contract also expires this year, leaves the club.
"The last couple of years, obviously being injured, all I've wanted to do is just play footy and take every week as it comes," Shaw, 32, said.
"I know it's a cliche, but getting to my age you just want to make sure every game counts and that's what I'm trying to do at the moment.
"I got back in last week and hopefully will take another step forward this week and just look forward to the end of the year."
Asked what were the factors determining his future, Shaw said: "Probably the body, one, and secondly what the club want to do.
"It's pretty much up in the air at the moment. I can't say too much at the moment because I haven't really thought about it."
Another factor may also be the lure of more success with the Swans, who are this year's premiership favourites and tipped to feature prominently next year as well.
Other first-choice Swans yet to re-sign for next year include Mike Pyke and Adam Goodes while veterans Lewis Roberts-Thomson and Ryan O'Keefe also come out of contract.

Enchantment of the Seas New Year Cruise: Enchantment of the Seas Cruise Review by ladygmp
Overall Member Rating
Enchantment of the Seas New Year Cruise
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Baltimore
The My Time Dining was very inconvenient, we found ourselves only using My Time Dining twice in the seven days. Our My Time Dining was 8:30pm (which I felt was very late, and the other choice is 5:30 which is very early. I think 6pm and 7pm would be best.) It's weird how you have three different wait staff and not just one waiter. Therefore you are obligated to tip three different people for the job that one person could do very easily. For example: Our assistant waiter gave us a menu, then later our main waiter came and gave us a More different menu and was wondering how we got the wrong menu? Our main waiter asked if we wanted pepper, then later our assistant waiter came to ask the same thing. It wasn't a big deal, but all the confusion could be avoided if we just had one main waiter. The head waiter just drops by to ask you how you're doing. I feel my time dining was not successful and needs a lot of improvement. They should have named it "My Inconvenient Dining" instead.
The food was only mediocre, to me, most of it tasted like air plane food. We did have one good meal at My Time Dining on New Years day. We had duck and fillet of beef. The meat was very tender and the sauce was perfect. Other than the one meal, everything else was only mediocre. A lot of the food repeated itself in the Windjammer Cafe. You saw the same basic rice, Indian/curry food, sandwiches/sub, hot dog and hamburger, same salad choice, and the same dessert every night. The food was very bland and not tasty. Most of the food seemed over cooked and dry. The food did not taste freshly prepared. As far as eating what ever you want, when ever you want, this ship was very inconvenient. For example: The windjammer Cafe opened at 6:30pm and closed at 9pm. We were usually ready to eat by 6pm and found ourselves having to wait. In NCL, whatever time you were ready to eat, you would at least find one or two cafes ready to serve you. On Enchantment of the Seas, you are limited to their schedule. The free drink choice were very good. Choices included, water, coffee, variety of teas, some juices, and cool aid type drinks. The wait staff in Windjammers was excellent. For example: after we got our food & sat down, a waiter would ask if we needed a drink. They also didn't take long to pick up your plate after we were done eating. They also kept the cafe clean. The wait staff pretty much had the place running like clock work. The chef & assistant chef came out at one point to serve chocolate cover strawberries. That was an unexpected treat and a very nice way of saying thank you for dining with us.
THE WORSE EXPERIENCE is the Atlantis tour excursion in Nassau. The tour description says 2.5 hour. We thought 2.5 hour to look around but it really said 2.5 hour total time. So, it really meant, 1.5 hour to look around. This tour was expensive, it was $59 a person. $59 a person for 1.5 hours to look around is definitely not worth it. The tour started at 1:30pm-4pm. We meet everyone in our group at 1:30, then when they started to put us on the bus. We got separated from our group because they ran out of room on the small bus. We got on the next bus with another couple from our ship and was told that we had to wait until the next tour group came because they wanted to fill the bus. This took an additional 15 minutes until the bus was full. The next group tour that came was from NCL and they were running on a different scheduled time than us. When we finally got to Atlantis hotel/aquarium, we got off and it took about another 15 minutes to actually start the tour. Then we were told the last bus that would take us back was at 3pm. It was already 2pm. So now we only had 1 hour to look around. The tour was so rushed, but yet our tour wasn't even completed when we had to head back on our own to catch the last bus. We had a terrible time. Do not take the Discover Atlantis tour, it is a total rip off.
The weather was very bad in Nassau and our captain told us we would be staying in Nassau an additional night and skip our last port of call which is Coco-cay (Royal Caribbean's Private Island). Which is a complete bummer because this is the highlight of the cruise. But our safety comes first, and if the captain doesn't feel it is safe to go, it's understandable. So, therefore since we won't be able to go to our last port of call, you would expect the activities in the ship has to be awesome to satisfy everyone from the disappointment. It did not feel that way at all. The activities were the same basic stuff. I felt since we can't go to the last port of call, the cruise director should have stepped up and made the stay on the ship super fun by adding a lot more activities. Or add some kind of apology. For example: If I was the cruise director I may send a simple apology letter along with chocolate cover strawberry or maybe a few free bingo games that gave out cruise mugs and T-shirts. I'm not expecting them to break their bank but just something small and fun to show that they sympathize with our disappointment. I just felt like they didn't really care if we were happy or not.

Cabin review: I Large Ocean View Stateroom
We stayed on third floor in the aft. The room size is alright. It had a pull out sofa and small tv (had satellite channels). The room is pretty nice. The beds were alright, the pillows were comfortable. We had ocean view and the windows were a nice size. The bathroom is small. The shower was so tight. The toilet water stinks 24 hours. The hallway was not too noisy. A lot of carts were in the hallway though. The closet was a good size, it had plenty of hangers.Read All Large Ocean View Stateroom (I) Reviews >>

Happy Holiday Cider
Recipe by Annacia
Warm cider gives off a heavenly aroma to welcome snow-laden guests. This recipe uses baked apples studded with cloves, along with fresh citrus juices, apple cider, and spices. The prep time is baking time for the apples.
Top Review by Halcyon Eve
Wonderful spiced cider recipe! Everyone enjoyed this, and kept going back for just a little more. I made this using just over 2 cups of fresh lemon & orange juice combined, 2 Jonagold apples studded with cloves and baked 15 minutes, 2 Jonagold apples (uncooked), and brown sugar. I quarted the raw apples and halved the baked apples, placed them in a crockpot, and poured the simmered & strained cider mixture over. Then I let it set on "warm" all evening. I didn't serve the apples in the mugs, but just left them in to flavor the cider. We enjoyed this very much, and I can see this becoming a cold-weather staple. Thanks so much for posting, Annacia! Made for Photo Tag.

Online Problem-Based Course
Detailed Description:
Interventions: Two different KT interventions with the same curriculum will be evaluated: 1. Stakeholder-Hosted Interactive Problem-Based Seminar (SHIPS), and 2. Online Problem-Based course (ePBL). SHIPs will consist of face-to-face PBL (Problem-based Learning) (2½ days) with outcome measure developers as facilitators, using 6 problems generated in consultation with participants. The ePBL will consist of a 6-week web-based course with 6 generic problems developed by content experts.
Outcome Measures: Baseline predictors including demographics, knowledge, attitudes/barriers regarding outcome measures and Readiness to Change will be assessed by self-report. Immediately post-intervention and 6 months later these will be re-administered. Primary qualitative and quantitative evaluations will be conducted 6-months post-intervention to assess the relative effectiveness of KT interventions and to identify elements that contribute to changing clinical behavior. Chart audits will determine the utilization of outcome measures (counts). Incorporation of outcome measures into clinical reasoning will be assessed using an innovative technique: chart-stimulated recall.
The Study Sample: Physical and Occupational Therapists (n=144; 80% power to detect an effect size of 0.5; alpha=0.05) will be recruited in partnership with the national professional associations.
Methods: SHIPS will be conducted in three urban centers in Canada. Participants will be block allocated by a minimization procedure to either of the two interventions to minimize any prognostic differences. Trained evaluators at each site will conduct chart audits and chart-stimulated recall. Trained interviewers will conduct semi-structured interviews focused on identifying critical elements in KT and implementing practice changes. Interviews will be transcribed verbatim.
Analyses: Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), with baseline scores as a covariate, will be used to compare chart-stimulated recall scores at 6-months post-intervention. Secondary analyses will also use ANCOVA with the remaining potential predictors. Qualitative content analysis will be conducted iteratively until saturation is achieved.
Knowledge Impact and Transfer: A strategy for optimal transfer of health outcome measures into practice will be developed and shared with multiple disciplines involved in primary and specialty management of musculoskeletal and childhood disability. In addition, we will work with national professional organizations and Ministries of Health to use the knowledge from this study to support national initiatives on implementation and to assist with best KT practices in health service education.

Stanislav Varga, Steve Guppy and Chris Sutton put the Scottish outfit ahead before the break against a team combining players from the Kungshamn and Smogen clubs.
Stilian Petrov added the fourth with a penalty before David Fernandez scored a double either side of a strike by young Ross Wallace.
The match at Kunghshamn Vallen Stadium was missed by manager Martin O'Neill.
He was not due at their Kungsbacka training camp until the evening following what Celtic describe as a "minor operation".
But there appeared to be confirmation of summer speculation suggesting that the Northern Irishman is contemplating scrapping his tried and trusted 3-5-2 system.
Magnus Hedman started in goal and was given a warm welcome by the crowd of 4,700 along with compatriot Henrik Larsson as he partnered Sutton up front.
There was also a welcome return after the break for forgotten goalkeeper Barry-John Corr.
The 22-year-old had been sidelined for two years with a debilitating back injury.
Celtic (4-4-2): Hedman (Corr 46); McNamara (Agathe 46), Valgaeren (Kennedy 46), Varga (Laursen 46), Crainey; Smith (Wallace 64), Lennon (Miller 46), Thompson (Petrov 46), Guppy (Petta 46); Larsson (Beattie 46), Sutton (Fernandez 46).
Kungshamn/Smogen Select (4-4-2): Gorling; Albertsson, Dalkvist, Karlsson, Soderberg; Patriksson, Syversen (Williams 68), Kapella-Karlsson (Lindholm 64), Hysen (Maisa 64); Johansson, Henriksson (Hassellov 32, Olsson 54). Subs: Syversen, Hassellov.

from R.C.

Three fundamental points are affirmed in that first sentence of Scripture: (1) there was a beginning; (2) there is a God; and, (3) there is a creation. One would think that if the first point can be established firmly, the other two would follow by logical necessity. In other words, if there was indeed a beginning to the universe, then there must be something or someone responsible for that beginning; and if there was a beginning, there must be some kind of creation.

Boerne Road will be closed if not realigned
Published 1:38 pm, Wednesday, February 27, 2013
My message may not have been clear on a previous issue, so let me try to clarify a few things about trying to obtain the necessary right of way to realign Old Boerne Road so the intersection will be perpendicular to Hwy. 46.
If this intersection is not realigned then the Texas Department of Transportation will either close the intersection or install a raised median in the center of Hwy. 46 restricting its access to eastbound traffic only.
The new Singing Hills Subdivision will have its access point on Hwy. 46 at the east end of Bill Brown Elementary School. TxDOT has worked with the city and Comal ISD to have all the schools traffic enter off the new Singing Hills Boulevard rather than off Hwy. 46.
News Channel
A new traffic signal will be installed along with additional through and turn lanes on Hwy. 46 at the developers' cost.
This is not a decision made by the city of Bulverde. It was a decision made by TxDOT engineers based on a mandatory traffic impact analysis study for the amount of traffic the new development will generate.
The new traffic light is not an option.
I don't like traffic lights any more than anyone else but this intersection will have one.
If Old Boerne Road is not realigned and straightened to connect to this new road, it will be closed or restricted.
H-E-B owns the land that we need to acquire to straighten out the road. We have twice met at the company's corporate offices twice to try to negotiate purchase of the right of way.
The answer to our attempts to purchase the land at any price is a big, loud "no."
It appears that our only option is to condemn the property.
Condemnation basically involves the city going through a legal process to force a property owner to sell land for a public purpose at a price somewhere above market value.
These are our only options. I am not thinking of putting in a traffic light just to help traffic flow at Old Boerne Road. I am trying to be proactive and prevent a traffic snarl, which will devastate those businesses on Old Boerne Road.
Bill Krawietz is the mayor of Bulverde.

2007.206: Rational Cherednik algebras and Hilbert schemes. II: representations and sheaves

Let H_c be the rational Cherednik algebra of type A_{n-1} with spherical subalgebra U_c = e H_c e. Then U_c is filtered by order of differential operators with associated graded ring gr U_c = \mathbb{C} [ \mathfrac{h} ⊕ \mathfrac{h}^* ]^W, where is the n-th symmetric group. Using the Z-algebra construction from [GS], it is also possible to associate to a filtered H_c - or U_c - module \hat{Φ}(M) on the Hilbert scheme Hilb(n). Using this technique, we study the representation theory of U_c and H_c, and we relate it to Hilb(n) and to the resolution of singularities τ : Hilb(n) → \mathfrac{h} ⊕ \mathfrac{h}^* / W. For example, we prove the following.
• If c=1/n so that L_c(triv) is the unique one-dimensional simple H_c-module, then \hat{Φ}(e L_c(triv)) ≅ \mathcal{O}_{Z_n}, where Z_n = τ^{-1}(0) is the punctual Hilbert scheme.
• If c = 1/n+k for k \in \mathbb{N}, then under a canonical filtration on the finite-dimensional module L_c(triv), gr e L_c(triv) has a natural bigraded structure that coincides with that on H^0( Z_n, \mathscr{L}^k), where \mathscr{L} ≅ \mathcal{O}_{Hilb(n)}(1); this confirms conjectures of Berest, Etingof, and Ginzburg [BEG2, Conjectures 7.2, 7.3].
• Under mild restrictions on c, the characteristic cycle of \hat{Φ}(e Δ_c(μ)) equals \sum_λ K_{μλ}[Z_λ], where K_{μλ} are Kostka numbers and the Z_λ are (known) irreducible components of τ^{-1}(\mathfrak{h}/W)

Regularly Sighted Species
Of the 83 species of whales, dolphins and porpoises (cetaceans) currently recognised in the world, 24 species have been recorded in the waters off the west coast of Scotland in recent years. These records can be divided into those species that have been seen fairly regularly as live animals and those that are seen quite rarely or as stranded animals.
Follow the links below to find out more about the whales, dolphins and porpoises that have been seen regularly in the Hebrides in recent years. These include species that are resident year-round as well as seasonal migrants that visit during the summer months. In this section you will also find information about rarely sighted cetacean species and some of the other marine species seen in the Hebrides.

george michael ( white light live @ the olympics 2012
Video Rating: 4 / 5
Video Rating: 4 / 5
im a new fan but I didnt watch any of the olympics this year… maybe some kind of global conciousness effect caused me to suddenly be interested in george michael…. or maybe he's just good like that. supa hot
great singer finally returned thanks Michael
Brill George!!!! Always composing new music!
George is fantastic in live performance !!!
Great song in a epic ceremony !
go, go go !!! super, thanx…..G.M.
Fantastic song! George is BACK!
im addicted to this song..and i love it even more live! fabulous George Michael 😉
These Olympics will certainly put East London on the map.
Stratford & the surrounding areas will be known by every athlete from around the world from now on.
i don't think that it's playback, i think he sang it live, you can here several differences in his voice compared to the album version.
Brilliant!! the man is brilliant!
but you gotta love his song white light..you know you do
Brilliant , you have to give it to George ..
he should have done this live, he did so awesome with Freedom.
I saw it completely without commercials in Telemundo (or Televisa) anyway they did a fantastic job, so I couldn't wait to see it again later that night on NBC but to my surprise they failed miserably, they edited so much, did not show the entire closing!!! the other network's commentators had a little bit of information on each and every one that appeared on stage, singers, bands and/or models, it was great!! I found NBC's was kinda boring actually!!!
Got to see George singing White Light!!
great job, George! had to be tiring getting ready.
CAN someone PLEASE add this video but when making it, "FLIP IT" around horizontally, so the Intl Olymp Comm nutzos won't pull it.
NBC – Nothing But Commercials (to hell w/the fans who woulda watched a longer show to see their favorite artists they heard were appearing, do all the songs they sang)
Same on NBC—–No wonder he avoids USA
Wow George stole the theme from the BBC news and stuck some lyrics on it…
Leave it to NBC to screw things up again. This is the first new material since 2004 and they denied this pleasure to the American public. No wonder the company is in the toilet!
I watched the closing, but never saw this number..Stupid NBC screwed it up as always..never showed the complete show..now this part can't be seen..really sucks!

The US knows dangerously little about the rest of the world. Australia would be safer to keep its distance, writes Barry Jones.
Australia has important links with the United States - ethnicity, language, culture, tradition, history, religion, law and political systems up to a point, democracy, and shared experiences in war, media, newspapers, television, film. But promoting a more independent stance would, in the long term, enhance our security - and it would not only be good for us, but for the US as well.
America is largely uninformed about the world it dominates. Australian politicians have valuable exposure to life in other countries - unlike our American counterparts. In the US House of Representatives, barely one fifth of members hold current passports. Presumably Congresspeople say: "I speak for tobacco farmers in Kentucky (or potato growers in Idaho), and Europe, the Middle East, Africa or the South Pacific are of no concern to me."
The Australia-US link is, understandably, our No. 1 foreign policy and defence priority, and we see it as a guarantee of security in our region. But there may be a high price to be paid and it may inhibit our capacity to come to terms with our region. Our bodies are in the Asia-Pacific region but our heads are in the mid-Atlantic. The question is: will increased dependence on the US guarantee our safety or intensify the risk?
We appear to be on the brink of a war in the Middle East that may destabilise our region for decades, if not longer. World leaders face a horrible dilemma. There can be no doubt that United Nations weapons inspectors have been able to return to Iraq only because of the threat of military intervention from the US and Britain, and if the threat is removed it is likely Saddam Hussein will resume his prescribed activities. However, it is far from clear that military action will lead to a democratic Iraq and a safe, secure, peaceful Middle East.
On balance, it is probable that war will lead to a coalition between moderate and fundamentalist Muslims. Israel will be at even greater risk, the clash of civilisations will continue, and terrorism will increase generally, including in our region. Either way, the UN is likely to be damaged - either by a conviction that Saddam has bluffed it, or that George Bush has coerced it.
One of the most worrying aspects of the potential conflict is the low level of understanding or experience of the Middle East by Western leaders, which results in complex issues being treated as if they were simple.
The Cold War, about which we can now think nostalgically, was essentially a symmetrical conflict, with two "superpowers", each with allies - maybe a 60/40 division of power between the US and the USSR. A balance of terror followed. Each side could draw a bead on the other, as occurred with the Cuban missile crisis in 1962. There were strong state structures: both had nuclear weapons and delivery systems, but they balanced out. The concept of right v left had some meaning (also democracy v dictatorship, up to a point). But this situation ended after the collapse of the USSR in 1989.
The world now faces an era of asymmetrical conflict: US v Iraq/al-Qaeda/Taliban. There is one superpower. Which is No. 2? This is not clear - but it is certainly not Iraq or al-Qaeda. Instability/insecurity is caused by the breakdown of nation states, for example Afghanistan. Terrorist networks break all the rules; they are capable of selective attack against a superpower using, for example, domestic aircraft as bombs. But the superpower then responds in the only way it knows how: a full-scale attack, in this case not against the original target but against a substitute, Iraq.
There has been a civil war within the Muslim world: fundamentalists v modernisers. The fundamentalists support the chariat law, denounce infidels such as Saddam, oppose tolerance of other belief systems, refuse co-operation with the US ("the Great Satan") or the West, and support war to annihilate Israel. Modernisers recognise the significance of technological and social change and are prepared to co-operate with the West and recognise Israel, provided there is a land settlement with the Palestinians.
September 11, 2001, was a turning point in history. Americans, understandably shocked by the attacks on New York and Washington, have a deep psychological need to retaliate, somewhere. Some apologists for a pre-emptive strike against Iraq argue that the leaders of the US, because of what they have been through, should not be judged too harshly for concentrating on the wrong target - if not Osama then Saddam, if not al-Qaeda then Iraq.
I feel more threatened by al-Qaeda than by Iraq because its sphere of operations is wider, more random and therefore not predictable - Nairobi and Dar es Salaam one day, New York and Washington another, the Red Sea and Bali yet another. Saddam's sphere has been far more limited and predictable - his immediate neighbourhood, Iran, Kuwait, Israel and the Kurds.
But the US approach seems to be: "If we can't find bin Laden, Saddam will do." It was extraordinary how quickly al-Qaeda ceased to be the primary target - and yet it is hard to believe we would be facing a war in Iraq if September 11 had not happened.
The American case asserting links between Iraq and al-Qaeda is deeply implausible. I agree that Saddam is a monster, a cruel dictator who has committed unspeakable cruelties against his people. But he is not Robinson Crusoe in that. And he has been that way for more than 20 years, certainly in the 1980s when the Americans were supporting him when he was fighting fundamentalists in Iran. I would like to see him removed, but I am not convinced that 2003 is a better time than 2002, or 2001 or 2000 or 1999 - and we could scroll history backward to the 1980s. Furthermore, his scope is limited; he is a dictator of a failing state. Yet Iraq is caricatured as if it was a superpower that challenges the world. The truth is Saddam's power to exercise an impact is high in his immediate region, non-existent outside. (I acknowledge that Israel is within his range, and that has global implications.)
A pre-emptive US strike strategy against Iraq, without UN endorsement, would almost certainly reinforce the fundamentalist Muslim position ("you can't deal with the US"), uniting fundamentalists and modernisers in a common cause. This would be disastrous for Australia.

|[XalanJ2] org.apache.trax interfaces will be removed tomorrow
|Wed, 01 Nov 2000 16:36:27 GMT
James Davidson, Rajiv Mordani, and myself got together last week at ApacheCon London to work on the TrAX proposal. As I begin to try and implement the javax.xml.trax interfaces, it has become quickly apparent that I can't make the two interfaces live side-by-side. Thus, I'm going to make a hard jump from one to the other. I'm working on the implementation today, and should be ready to check in tomorrow. Sorry for yet another churn, but this is really necessary, and will end up being extremely beneficial to all. The javax.xml.trax interfaces have already been checked into the XalanJ2 CVS tree. The highlights of the changes are: 1) Processor has been renamed to TransformerFactory, in order to match the javax.xml.parsers pattern. 2) Input and Result are defined with abstract interfaces (Source and Result) that are empty. You must use a concrete implementation of these interfaces. 3) Three subpackages are defined: sax, dom, and stream. These implement the specifics for the given Source and Result types. In addition, the sax package has a SAXTransformerFactory, SerializerHandler, and TransformerHandler. 4) The serializer package is gone (sorry, Assaf). Instead, TransformerFactory now implements a newTransformer method that takes no arguments. This method is defined to return a Transformer that does an identity copy from Source to Result. With this, you can do everything the serializer interface did, and more. 5) The one thing I don't like much, is that TransformerFactory.newInstance no longer takes a string as an argument (which signified the type of TransformerFactory you want). James used the same argument about this as he used about the DOM builder. But, there are complicating factors, and it's better to be more simple now, and add this in later, if it is really needed. 6) The Features class contains URLs for all the supported types of features, i.e. DOM, SAX, etc. 7) Namespaced names (or Universal Names) are specified to be passed as {url}local-name. While this is ugly, it's the only way to cleanly use existing Java classes like Properties that use the String class, and is easy enough to parse. These are used both for output properties, and for variables. I am pretty happy with this API at this point, though I'm sure it needs some polishing on details. It lines up cleanly with the existing JSR63 transform stuff (a lot of the wording won't have to be changed), allows anybody to define a transformation from any object to any object (for instance, it will be easy to define a JDOM transformer), supports different transformer models, is very powerful, yet is relatively simple for the job to be done. I *think* Mike Kay will be pleased also, but he'll have to speak for himself. -scott
