It's the Settlers - Not the ultra-Orthodox - That Threaten Israel Most
We should ask: how is it that the tribe of the ultra-Orthodox is ostracized, while the tribe of the settlers is glorified? Could it be that we lord it over the weak?
Israel hates. First of all it hates Arabs, in a deep and purifying way. A mixture of dehumanization, fear and nationalism are at work in Israel. It also...

I can solder fairly well...however I'm just not 100% certain what to solder where. I've already searched but to me each schematic is confusing because none of them specify orientation( if you're looking at the top of the pots or at the bottom). I want to keep both volumes and I don't want a switch in it. Basically I attempted it earlier and I'm quite certain I did it wrong, so help me out here. There is ground wires running everywhere on this thing and it's kind of aggravating being that I look at the pictures but what I'm seeing in my control cavity is just not making sense to me.

Ariana Grande is killing it lately. "Break Free," "Problem," and "Bang Bang" have broken the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 ("Break Free" just got the top spot), she's nabbed two Teen Choice Awards, and she's up for a VMA. Not bad for a second studio album.
What we've heard off her upcoming sophomore LP, My Everything, has been pop gold. Thanks to MTV, four cuts off the album are now currently streaming. There's "Love Me Harder," her jam with R&B crooner The Weekend, the grind-worthy, Cashmere Cat produced "Be My Baby," "A Little Bit of Your Heart," co-written by One Direction fan favorite, Harry Styles, and "Why Try," in which Grande shows that she's a vocal talent by belting through half of it. All things considered, My Everything might be a must-buy.
My Everything is out August 25 on Republic Records.

Dana Rudolph, known online as Mombian, has a great summary of how LGBT parents and children fared in 2013.
Writing for Chicago's Windy City Times, she notes the highs and lows of the year: "Overall, I'd say it was a year of progress, aided by the ever-increasing visibility of LGBT parents and our children in our neighborhoods and communities." Among the advances she lists:
- Marriage equality in eight new states — California, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, and Rhode Island — and LGBT parents made key contributions in each one.
- The U.S. Supreme Court's decision striking down the Defense of Marriage Act's ban on federal recognition of same-sex marriages: "This was a boon to all same-sex couples, but had an immediate impact on binational couples with children, who can now keep their families together," Rudolph writes. "Cathy Davis, an Irish mom raising three children with her American spouse Catriona Dowling, was the first same-sex spouse to receive a marriage-based green card, just a week after the ruling."
- Inclusion of same-sex parents in President Obama's proclamation of National Family Week: "Whether united by blood or bonds of kinship — whether led by a mother and father, same-sex couple, single parent, or guardian — families are the building blocks of American society," the president wrote.
- Legal recognition of differing family structures in California: Gov. Jerry Brown signed one bill that allows more than two people to be a child's legal parents and another that bans discrimination based on sexual orientation or marital status by health insurers offering fertility coverage.
- Advances for nonbiological parents in child custody cases: The Kansas Supreme Court ruled that a nonbiological parent has a right to seek custody, and the Colorado Court of Appeals made a similar ruling.
- Regarding a gay father with a new male partner, the Arkansas Supreme Court found that state law does not necessarily bar a nonmarital partner from being present when the father's child is. The court called for the state instead to determine, based on objective evidence, whether the partner's presence might have a negative effect on the children.

Tinderbox 4 review
By Neil Bennett | on December 11, 2006
Price When Reviewed: 275
Pros: Realistic weather, fire and security camera filters. High-quality output even at HD. Modestly priced.
Cons: Some filters don't add much to those in After Effects.
Expert Rating:
Best prices today
The Foundry's Tinderbox collections of VFX plug-ins for After Effects sit in a curious middle ground between the corporate-focused Boris FX Continuum Complete and GenArts' Sapphire set for high-end broadcast and film work. However, if you've outgrown Continuum, Tinderbox might just do the job for you.
As with Tinderboxes 1, 2, and 3, the new collection includes a mix of generators, colour effects, psychedelics, and other filters. The particle-based generators for fire, rain, and snow are surprisingly realistic, even at HD.
Fire creates single point flames for candles, torches, and nozzles – with presets for candle, oil, gas, and inferno looks providing a quick way to get close to the effect you want. There are many fine-tuning controls to use too – from flame activity and buoyance to separation and seed.
Snow offers realistic movements with turbulence and swirls, and rain will fool most viewers. Water, which creates rippling droplets, is less successful close up, but is perfectly usable for floor-based puddles at traditional shot distance.

A Cry Out America prayer gathering was held outside the Muskingum County Courthouse Sunday.
The purpose of the prayer event is for the public to gather together as believers to pray for the nation and to remember the fallen of 9/11.
"It's centered around that and it's centered around prayer for people across this nation because there's so many things going on in the nation and people are hurting and there's a lot of division now. I just think we really to get back to loving one another and working together," said Event Coordinator Amy Moore.
Moore says she has been blessed to be a part of Cry Out America. Members of the Zanesville Fire Department, sheriff's office and bikers from Rushing Wind Biker Church attended the gathering. Moore hopes that the message they received sticks with them.
"I hope that when they walk away from this today that they'll have a commitment in their heart to keep on praying, to keep on believing in the greatness of America and to believe that we are a Christian nation that we need to keep these things in the forefront," said Moore.
Moore requested those in attendance to say a silent prayer on Tuesday to remember those lost on 9/11.

FARMINGDALE, N.Y., June 15 (UPI) -- An all-star cast of international golf did its best to put the heat on Tiger Woods during the third round of the U.S. Open Saturday only to find his lead at the end of a noisy and dramatic afternoon was larger than at the start of it.
Sergio Garcia, Phil Mickelson, Jeff Maggert and even 44-year-old Nick Faldo made up ground on the world's best player, but the distance between first and second place grew from three shots to four.
Woods shot an even-par 70 at the Bethpage Black course and did not make a birdie until the 15th hole. Nevertheless, he did little to slow down a charge to what would be his second consecutive major championship and the eighth of his already historic career. Not since Jack Nicklaus did so in 1972 has a player won the Masters and U.S. Open in the same year and only three others -- Craig Wood in 1941, Ben Hogan in 1951 and 1953 and Arnold Palmer in 1960 -- have ever done so.
"Even though I was over par for most of the day, I still had the lead," Woods said. "They had to come to me. Like I said yesterday, it's not over yet. There was no award presentation today. I have to go out and play 18 holes and it will be a fun prospect."
The third round took place in an atmosphere more suited to a World Series game than a golf tournament and in the late stages of another gloomy day on Long Island, Woods saw his lead cut to two shots. But he rolled in a 15-foot birdie putt at the 15th and a 12-footer at the 17th to stretch his advantage.
He finished 54 holes at 5-under 205 and the only other player under par was Garcia, who endured catcalls and jeers throughout the day to earn the opportunity to be paired with Woods in the final group on Sunday.
Garcia shot 3-under 67, one of 13 sub-par rounds fired Saturday on the longest course in U.S. Open history, for a 1-under total of 209.
Another shot back were Phil Mickelson, who shot 67, and Jeff Maggert, who had a 68. Early in the third round, Mickelson found himself 10 shots behind Woods. But Mickelson played an 11-hole stretch in 6-under and as he walked off the 17th green, having just made a 20-foot, downhill, curling birdie putt to the almost deafening roar of the crowd, he was just two strokes off the lead.
Mickelson, however, bogeyed the final hole and Woods made his two late birdies to increase the margin.
Tied for fifth place at 1-over 211 were Robert Allenby, Billy Mayfair and Padraig Harrington, who was paired with Woods Saturday and started out three shots behind but who did well to shoot a 73 while missing fairway after fairway.
Faldo, playing in his 60th consecutive major championship on a special exemption from the United States Golf Association, shot the low round of the tournament -- a 4-under 66. A winner of six major titles, but never a U.S. Open, Faldo was tied at 212 with Justin Leonard, Tom Byrum, Scott McCarron and Davis Love III.
"That was as good as my heyday, it really was," Faldo said. "I'd love to just keep walking to the first tee right now and keep playing. I missed one fairway and one green and that is something else."
After the day-long rains of Saturday, the hilly, rough-infested course was more susceptible to low scores -- thanks in part to a few tees being moved forward and some pins being placed in easier positions. Woods, however, had to put on a late rush just to manage a 70.
He did not hit a fairway until the fifth hole and wound up with a bogey on that one, missing an eight-foot par putt. Unable to get the ball close to the hole for most of the day, he was consistently faced with long putts and had to make a nine-footer to save par on the eighth en route to a 1-over 36 on the front nine.
He bogeyed the 10th as well and then, after reaching the par-5 13th in two, three-putted for the first time in the tournament. His two late birdies, however, salvaged a decent score.
"I fought my rear off today," Woods said. "I didn't hit the ball that well. But I hung around. This is the U.S. Open and you have to fight all the way around."
On that trip around the Bethpage Black layout, the thousands of fans were cheering every move made by the stars of the game -- especially Woods. He once had to back away from a tee shot when a spectator took his picture and the constant noise tested the players' patience.
"I've never heard anything like it," Woods said. "Not for 18 holes."
With Woods and Garcia playing together on Sunday, and with Garcia having been made the target of the more boistrous fans this week, the closing round could be unlike any seen in the 102 history of the tournament.
"It will be a tough round for both of us," Woods said. "We will have to be focused and take care of business."
While Woods was trying to find a groove on the course, good scores were being posted in front of him.
One of them came from Garcia, who birdied five holes and missed a five-foot birdie chance at the par-5 13th. After his round Friday, Garcia said that comments from some of the fans were over the line. That was all it took for many in the crowd Saturday to add their opinions. There was an incident on almost every hole, especially when Garcia went through his routine of re-gripping the club as many as 20 times before taking the club back.
"Hit the ball," one gallery member yelled as Garcia stood over the ball.
Garcia, however, tried to work it to his advantage.
"Actually, I think it was great," Garcia said of his interaction with the crowd. "It was the best thing that could have happened to me. It made me more mature today. I have to thank them.
"I could handle anything. I didn't like it when people said bad things about Martina (girlfriend and tennis star Martina Hingis) and my parents. But I will be all right."
Garcia said he had hoped to be able to play in the final group Sunday.
"I can't wait to get it started," he said. "I hope I can play as good a I did today. We'll see how it goes, but I think I have a chance to win."
"It's a shame the fans were that way to Sergio," Woods said. "There is nothing wrong with being enthusiastic, just as long as they are respectful."
The fact that Woods and Garcia will play together Sunday is something of an irony since Garcia complained on Friday that if Woods had been on the course when the worst of the rains were falling, the United States Golf Association would probably have called off the round.
Garcia later said that comment was made in frustration and also said he apologized to Woods in the form of a note he left in Woods' locker.
There was only one player within six shots of Woods beginning Saturday's round and even though he increased his lead over the second-place finisher, there will be six players within six shots of him starting Sunday. Woods has had the 54-hole lead in seven major championships and he has won them all.
But a truly great round from the likes of Garcia, Mickelson or Maggert could allow them to overtake Woods if he slips.
Mickelson seemed capable of such a round after making seven birdies Saturday.
"Early in the round (after three bogeys in the first four holes), I wasn't thinking about winning the tournament or getting into position to win," Mickelson said. "I just wanted to hit some good shots. I hit it close at the sixth and missed that. But when I birdied the seventh, it seemed to change the momentum because I birdied three holes in a row."
Mickelson has finished in the top four on seven occasions in major championships, the best record of anyone in golf history not to have won a major.

San Diego County fared better than much of the rest of Southern California last year in terms of beach water quality, but pollution problems persist in certain areas, according to a report released Wednesday by an environmental organization.
Beaches in Los Angeles County had the highest percentage of days exceeding state standards for bacteria, at 16 percent, followed by Orange and Santa Barbara counties, each with 8 percent; San Diego, with 6 percent; and San Luis Obispo and Ventura counties at 5 percent each, according to the National Resources Defense Council's report.
Water quality continues to be a problem at Tourmaline Surfing Park in Pacific Beach, at various beaches along Mission Bay, and at Border Field State Park and parts of Imperial Beach, according to Noah Garrison, an attorney for the NRDC's Water Program.
Overall, San Diego County "fared better" than elsewhere in Southern California, he said.
One North County beach, Cardiff State Beach, earned the NRDC's "five-star" rating among the nation's 200 most popular beaches. Cardiff State Beach was the only beach in San Diego County to get the accolade.
According to the NRDC's 20th annual beach water report, there were 2,904 closure and advisory days in the state last year, and 18,682 nationwide.
The California total was a 30 percent drop from 2008. The report noted that Northern California beaches saw a dramatic increase in closure and advisory days, but Southern California had a dramatic drop — due largely to the lack of testing and drier-than-usual weather in 2009.
The report said budget cuts brought on by the sagging economy have led to a dramatic drop in the amount of Southern California beach-water testing last year, raising the possibility of health risks for swimmers and surfers.
"Less testing may lead to fewer pollution warnings, but it doesn't make our beaches any cleaner," said Garrison. "In order to keep our beaches safe for swimmers and surfers, it's critical that we test for pollution and alsostop it at its source."
Overall, beach testing dropped by 24 percent between 2008 and 2009 in Southern California, the report found. The drop was cited as a major factor in the statewide drop in beach closure and health-advisory days across the state last year, according to the report.

I was expecting 50 people, only 38 showed up. Needless to say, there was too much food and pig to eat. A good time was had by all anyway. I am enclosing some pics of the pig both before and after it was smoked.

The deposed Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Ibrahim Dasuki, Wednesday said the 36 states and 774 local governments in the country were gulping so much of the nation's resources and underdeveloping the country.
At a news conference to mark the 47 years of the assassination of the late Premier of the Northern Region, Sir Ahmadu Bello, Dasuki noted that in spite of the huge amount of money being allocated to the states and local governments in the country, it was not impacting on the generality of people due to corruption.
Said Dasuki: "You can imagine that a wife of a local government chairman is given huge amount of money as wardrobe allowance. For what? Even councillors get the same allowances. Is that in the constitution?
"The whole thing is mixed up. Look at the local government funds. The chairmen have been marginalised. All they do is to go and sign the money in Abuja and they don't know what happens to the money.
"They will say, well I was told to sign, and I did, I don't know what will happen to the money. So the money does not get to the people down there. That is why the governors are pushing for a joint account with the local governments," Dasuki said.
According to him, "I was the only Permanent Secretary for Local Government in the entire Northern Region, with only one minister during Sardauna. Today, there are 19 local government chairmen, with 19 permanent secretaries.
"From one region, we now have 19 states. Tell me, what progress have we made? The cost of administration and the task of ensuring accountability is too huge. The problem with Nigeria is the 36 states and the 774 governments. We don't need them, if we want to develop.
"Why should we have 774 local governments, 36 states with 19 for the North? It is all about greed not about service. We have 19 governors, 19 deputy governors, 19 Chief Judges, everything 19 for the North alone. Imagine the cost of running them.
"Just imagine the money for allowances. What is left for development? More so those that became governors didn't come prepared. They came by chance, so they have no plans for development. So I think the problem is the present structures," he said.
He lamented that today selfishness, greed and corruption fuelled by sycophancy is the order of the day.
He recalled that credible people did not take over after the 1966 military coup that claimed the life of the Sardauna and others, adding that the military men that executed the coup had no idea about the enormous task of governance.
"Little wonder there were all kinds of confusion that led to the civil war. And since then, we have not had credible leadership in Nigeria," he added.

The top available running back in the nation is ready to wrap up things, he announced on his Facebook page over the weekend.
"I have decided to make my college announcement on January 26, 2013 at 4:00 p.m. Truly Blessed!," Derrick Green, Sporting News' No. 13 overall prospect, posted on his Facebook page this weekend.
Michigan, Auburn and Tennessee are his finalists and he took official visits to all three campuses with Auburn being the last one in early November. The 6-foot, 220-pound Richmond, Va., back reported more than 30 scholarship offers. Florida State, Miami, Ole Miss and USC were among the most recent schools to be trimmed from his short list. Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon and in-state schools Virginia and Virginia Tech were among his other offers.

He recently described his abilities to Sporting News.
"The college coaches like my speed at 4.31 seconds in the 40," Green said. "They like my size at 220 (pounds), my vision, hands, power and the yards after contact—usually between four and seven yards. That's what makes me a BCS level recruit."
As a senior, Green finished with 1,285 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns, while also catching seven passes for 110 yards and a touchdown. According to Scout.com, he sat out 17 entire quarters during his senior season because of large leads by his Hermitage High School team.
Green isn't the only big-name player in the past few days to set an announcement date.
Wide receiver LaQuon Treadwell, whose stock has been rising in recent weeks, will make his announcement Thursday. Treadwell had a monster senior season catching the ball, with 81 receptions for 1,424 yards and 16 touchdowns. He also excelled on defense, with 43 tackles and five interceptions playing in the secondary. He turned heads during the week of practice for and during the Under Armour All American game.
Treadwell, 6-foot-3, 200 pounds out of Crete (Ill.), just returned from an official visit to Oklahoma State this past weekend, and Ole Miss and Oklahoma are two other schools that may land him. Those are the only three schools that he took official visits to, though Florida and Michigan are also after him.
Rashaad Samples, a wide receiver heading to Oklahoma State, said he tried swaying Treadwell at the Under Armour Game.
"I got to know him a little bit, talked to him about Oklahoma State," Samples told The Oklahoman. "I tried to recruit him a little, told him it would be a good place to go. He's a good guy and has good speed for a guy with that size."

It was a bad week to have a bad week.
So what happened? And what happens next?
What happened with the colossal collapse of Kevin Martin? And what happens now as he and his Alberta teammates are slowly being counted out at this 84th Brier because too many teams in front of them have too few losses?
Why did Martin implode? And what will it mean to the Tim Hortons Brier not to have a home province team to sell, headed home, where there's every indication of a fabulous finish ahead? Will Edmontonians still show?
A most interested observer was Ken Hunka, who represented Alberta at the Edmonton 1999 'Last Shootout of the Century' Edmonton Brier and ended up with an out-of-the-playoffs 5-6 record.
"The rocks got in his head in that first game and he's been freaked ever since," said Hunka of the new stones from Scotland, which have created controversy for their alleged inconsistencies.
"I haven't seen him have a start like this ever before," said Hunka, who remembers the way it went for him here 14 years ago. "We had a great start. It was the middle of the week we came apart."
Russ Howard, holder of the Brier record for most wins with 113 and could have lost it to Martin who started the week with 106, agrees with the 'Martin had rocks in his head' theory.
"I think it was the rocks," he said. "He has such a high, high level of play all the way through that lineup and he calls such difficult shots that, in hindsight, he should have been playing a far more simple game. Instead of trying to bite the side of the button he should have been trying to hit the eight foot.
"But it's been more than that. He plays Northern Ontario and Brad Jacobs shoots 100%. He plays Quebec and the back end shoots 93%. He plays New Brunswick and and James Gratton stands on his head. The opposition hasn't been co-operating. I hate it when that happens."
"Obviously, the word is 'shocking.'" said defending champion Glenn Howard.
"You never see Kevin Martin with a losing record at a Brier. To start 1-4 was pretty hard to believe. But it can happen," said the Ontario skip.
"Obviously they are not playing their best and if you don't play your best, you're going to lose," he said.
"Momentum really," said Newfoundland skip Brad Gushue.
"He lost a game to Manitoba that he felt he gave away and they went forward without the best attitude for the next one. Once you get going the wrong way, I know how it can get away from you."
The big question now, of course, is does the Brier end up successful without a hometown team to cheer on to what was supposed to be a chance at history, as Martin attempted to become the first skip to win five Briers.
Anybody watching on TV has likely noticed sold-but-empty seats in the lower bowl the past couple days. There have been no-shows and low walkup numbers.
After opening weekend crowds of 8,718, 9,947, 7,626, 8,173 and 8,245 the new no-morning draw "low draw" bridge concept to the big weekend coupled with Martin's collapse resulted in crowd counts of 7,148, 5,815, 7,105, 6,547 and 6,731.
But presale figures as of 7 p.m. Wednesday indicate five-figure crowds are ahead..
The over-under for success of this Brier (not to mention the budget) was viewed as 200,000. With crowds so far plus presale, the running total was at 184,439 Wednesday afternoon.
Remember the quote from Brier boss Warren Hansen before this began — "It's good. It'll be very, very good if Kevin Martin is around at the end."
It'll be interesting if Martin doesn't manage the most incredible comeback in Brier history, to see how Edmonton treats this Brier the rest of the way.

Scientists, who always seem to be looking for ways to spoil our fun, are doubling their efforts to warn us all about the dangers of salt. This isn't new.

But what these sneaky researchers are telling us now makes it that much harder for us to wiggle out of our healthy responsibility to reduce our intake of sodium chloride.

Editor: Over the past few days, I have heard from some of my friends how the race for the St. Johns County Board of Commissioners, District Four, has become much more than a discussion of issues. I'm told that in various Republican forums, incumbent Commissioner Maguire is accusing fellow Republican, Tom Manuel, of being, in so many words, a closet Democrat. Why?

Adrienne K.wrote a review of Patagonia Down Sweater Full-Zip Hooded Jacket - Women's on January 7, 2013
Excellent staple, questionably durable
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I absolutely loved this jacket for the 2 1/2 years that I owned it. I travelled to South America with it, ice climbed in it, rock climbed in it... you name it. It is not quite warm enough for cold AK days, but works well as a layer. The material did not stand up to the granite in Joshua Tree, but there is nothing that a patch can't fix. My only problem with the jacket is that the zipper failed before the material did. For a $250 jacket, I would expect a more durable zipper.

Dr. Dre Offered a Key to Compton
The King of Compton.
Fresh off crowning himself hip hop's first billionaire, Dr. Dre has been sought for yet another honor, this time by City of Compton Mayor Aja Brown. Reportedly, Mayor Brown has offered Dre a key to the city, a unique honor for the legendary producer.
The mayor reached out to Dre's people in order to honor him for his entrepreneurship and ask if Dre wants to help clean up the city he once called home. Charitable efforts and performance sponsors would help the city tremendously, especially with the Dre's pockets backing it up. Even if he doesn't choose to help Compton out, Mayor Brown insists Dr. Dre still keep the key to the city.
Should Dre accept the offer, he'd join DJ Quik as a fellow honoree, who received a key to the city for donating $250,000 to Compton schools several years back. Dre's not a stranger to donation efforts either, having partnered with Jimmy Iovine to donate $70 million to the University of Southern California in 2013 for arts-based scholarships.

Pakistan and the IMF: A Relation of Trust, An Article By Henri Ghesquiere, Senior Resident Representative in Pakistan
September 23, 2003Pakistan and the IMF: A Relation of Trust
An Article
By Henri Ghesquiere, Senior Resident Representative in Pakistan
Reproduced with permission of Business Recorder
September 23, 2003
One month from now, the 24 Executive Directors of the International Monetary Fund, who represent 184 countries, will likely meet to review Pakistan's recent economic progress. Chances are they will approve a disbursement of about $240 million--one more milestone in Pakistan's economic revival which began four years ago. The approval will be a further nod of encouragement for the Government to persist with its strategy of sustained high economic growth and poverty reduction.
Yet, in Pakistan mistrust of the IMF's intentions abounds. Its three initials evoke economic pain. Many consider the Fund uncaring. They look with incredulity when I assert that the Fund has only one goal in Pakistan: to help the country achieve its full economic potential.
When Pakistan's Government asked financial support from the Fund nearly four years ago, the country stood at the brink of default on its foreign debt. Hardly any international donor or creditor, private or public, was prepared to provide financing unless the IMF led the way by putting its money in Pakistan. When that money came imports kept flowing into the country, averting a crisis of possibly massive bankruptcy and layoffs and even more grinding poverty.
Did Pakistan end up in the clutches of a greedy lender? Hardly. The most expensive debt of Pakistan to the IMF carries an interest rate of less than 2.5 percent per year and the bulk is lent at 0.5 percent, well below the rate of return which domestic bondholders and investors in savings certificates demand from their Government. The money that the IMF lends has been entrusted to it by the governments of its member countries and the Fund has a fiduciary responsibility toward their taxpayers. The low interest rate is meant to help the Government of a borrowing country that courageously confronts its deeper economic problems. The economic policy measures that are a condition for IMF disbursements aim to strengthen that economy--for the benefit of its citizens--and to allow repayment to the IMF and make the money available to other member countries in temporary difficulties.
Unsustainable economic policies, not sudden misfortune, brought Pakistan to the IMF. Throughout the 1980s and `90s, economic policies had a fatal flaw: public expenditures, often ill-conceived, exceeded revenue collected by a wide margin. Persistently large budget deficits trapped Pakistan into a spiraling public debt which by 2000 exceeded the economy's total annual production. The growing burden of paying interest on this debt compressed critical outlays for health and education and left the infrastructure crumbling.
The government that assumed power in October 1999 candidly took stock of what ailed the economy. It designed a coherent economic strategy, in which fiscal discipline, external debt relief, reform of institutions to facilitate private economic activity, and enhanced expenditure for better quality education and health all mutually reinforce each other toward the goals of sustained high economic growth and poverty reduction. Subsequent interaction with stakeholders put emphasis on the role of women, employment creation, and the environment. Key Pakistani personalities, starting with President Musharraf, articulate this strategy with the conviction of home-grown ownership, not IMF imposition.
The sustained implementation of this strategy offers the best hope for Pakistan to raise the standard of living of its people durably. Many now take the macro-economic stability and the renewed confidence in the value of the rupee for granted without crediting the fiscal discipline that made the turnaround possible. Support from bilateral donors or the return flow of capital in the form of worker remittances would not have reached their current magnitudes without policy persistence by the Government.
IMF staff are sometimes considered impatient, unaware of the time it takes to build consensus for transforming economic institutions in decay or to change deep-rooted mindsets that obstruct good governance. Yet, procrastination in implementing reform policies delays their benefits. The result may be a sustained economic rate of growth of only 5 percent instead of 6 percent or higher--a major setback in personal well-being over time.
In turn, the people of Pakistan are impatient, understandably so, to see an end to abysmal poverty. Middle-class income earners strive to meet the aspirations of their families. The strategy being followed is potent and will achieve its goals but not instantaneously. Private investors will commit resources and create employment opportunities when they are confident that the strategy will endure. Doubling the yield per acre in agriculture and empowering the poor by giving them the skills to participate in productive activities will take time. The process should be shortened by enhancing the effectiveness of public service delivery in health and education through better motivated public servants and focused social safety transfers.
By late 2004 Pakistan's three-year borrowing arrangement with the IMF will be completed. The Government has announced its decision not to seek further financing from the IMF thereafter. Pakistan will thus join the 70 percent of the member countries with whom the IMF presently has no lending relationship. The Fund respects that decision. And there are good grounds for it. On current prospects, Pakistan will continue to maintain high official foreign reserves and can count on gaining the confidence of international capital markets. Pakistan has been a prolonged user of Fund financing and the IMF has neither the mandate nor the resources for indefinite development support.
The IMF will remain staunchly committed to help Pakistan achieve its goal of greater prosperity for all its citizens. One avenue is to maintain an intensive economic policy dialogue. Other proposals include sharing the Fund's expertise for strengthening the soundness of financial institutions to further lessen Pakistan's vulnerability to external shocks.
Meanwhile, the remaining year under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) offers the opportunity and challenge to consolidate the economic progress achieved to date and to press forward with shaping economic institutions for the betterment of the Pakistani people. On occasion, public opinion makers in Pakistan exhort their government officials to negotiate hard with the IMF and outwit its staff. I cannot suppress a smile. Fund staff and their counterparts are not buying or selling carpets, but learning together how best to achieve the common goal. At this table, we sit on the same side.
Henri Ghesquiere is the IMF's senior resident representative in Pakistan. He shared these views as part of an ongoing dialogue with Pakistani society.

The Hague, Netherlands (UPI) Dec 17, 2014
Delivery of problem-plagued NH90 helicopters to the Dutch Navy has resumed following a remediation agreement between the Ministry of Defense and NHIndustries.
Deliveries of the medium-size, twin-engine multi-role aircraft were suspended last June because of major problems with wear and corrosion in the delivered aircraft.
In a letter to parliament, Defense Minister Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert said the ministry and NHIndustries extensively analyzed the problems with the helicopter and solutions reached.
"The principle is that the manufacturer is responsible for the problems with the aircraft," the Ministry of Defense said in a news release on Tuesday. "The company also assumes full costs incurred for the development of modifications, repair of corrosion damage and for designing preventive measures."
The ministry said more than 100 factors contributing to corrosion on the aircraft were identified and fixes for 75 of them found.
NHIndustries pledged explore fixes to remaining factors during the planned deep maintenance of an NH90 in the first half of next year.
The Dutch military still has seven of the helicopters on order. Two of those will now be delivered this month.
The Netherlands had ordered 20 NH90s, 12 of them for the navy.

"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound ..." In musical notation, a grace note indicates an embellishment or enhancement beyond the basic musical composition. All of us get to where we are through the basic composition of human milestones, but few of us recognize the smaller embellishments which bring extra enjoyment to our lives. The ultimate grace note is placed in our life's musical score by the Master Composer. It is our opportunity to reveal that grace to others through the talents we've been given. Jona has both given and received that grace during her performances. Audience members have responded gratefully as well as generously, sharing their personal experiences and needs with Jona after connecting to particular lyrics or anecdotes. Outreach before and after a performance is as important to her as the music itself. Jona's music graces the lives of her audience as she connects them to the grace she has experienced from above.

The 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics are almost upon us, and sports from bobsledding to curling will be all over our TV sets. While she was gearing up for the competition, Rachael Flatt, one of the US figure skating team's stars, let me ask her a couple of questions about hair and makeup on the ice. She had great tips for keeping your hair in place and the eye shadow shades that make your look pop, so to find out what she had to say, just read more.
What eye shadow colors do you use to make your eyes pop for someone seated 30 rows up?
I usually pick eye shadow colors that either accentuate my dress color or complement my eye color. It is hard to find a balance of dark enough makeup that shows up with the TV lighting, but not too much eye makeup so that it does not look like I have black eyes! I like using MAC eye shadows in Shroom (for a highlight under my eyebrows), Sable, Embark, and occasionally Carbon — but only for an accent as an eyeliner. I like to use navy blue colors, like Prussian, as an eye liner because it adds a little bit more color, and it is not overwhelming.
What kind of hair products do you use to keep everything in place when you skate?
Hair spray is a skater's best friend when it comes to competition hair styling. I do use a little bit of hair gel to take care of the wisps of hair that just do not want to cooperate sometimes. I also like to use shampoos and conditioners (especially Pantene) that protect my hair against a lot of wear and tear from hair ties, hair dryers, curling irons, flat irons, and other hair products that I use to style my hair.

It looks like they might just be staying in South Florida for a little bit longer than expected. Kourtney Kardashian, along with her sister Khloe Kardashian, her baby daddy Scott Disick and her son Mason were all spotted shopping for new real estate in Miami, Fla. on Wednesday afternoon. The reality television family was accompanied by their local realtor as well.
Hey, I don't blame them for wanting to stay in Miami. It's a great city, plus the weather is always nice and warm. What do you guys think? 🙂

Prepare your parish; prepare your family for the Feast of Mercy
April 30, 2000, the late Pope John Paul II during the canonization of Sister Faustina announces the Second Sunday of Easter as Divine Mercy Sunday.
The late Pope John Paul II said in his canonization of Sister Faustina, "It is important that we accept the whole message that comes to us from the word of God on this second Sunday of Easter, which from now on throughout the Church will be called Divine Mercy Sunday."
The Pope said that this gift of mercy will be particularly needed in the third millennium. Mercy Sunday, as the main revelation that Jesus gave to St. Faustina, is the crowning of that gift of mercy for the whole world in our time.

No one likes the days when your Apple (AAPL[1]) iPhone or Samsung (SSNLF[2]) Galaxy is about to die, and of course you have no phone charger handy.
What everyone probably likes, though, is the idea of fully charging that phone in a mere 20 seconds.
And if you think that sounds impossible, think again.
Eesha Khare — an 18-year-old from Saratoga, Calif. — recently created a device called the supercapacitor. It's a tiny gizmo that packs more energy into a smaller space than traditional phone batteries and holds the charge for longer. In fact, the supercapacitor is able to handle 10,000 recharge cycles — more than normal batteries by a factor of 10.
Khare has only used the invention to power an LED light, but it could easily fit inside cell phone batteries, be used in roll-up devices and possibly even work for car batteries.
Impressed? So were judged at the Intel (INTC[3]) International Science and Engineering Fair, where Khare's gadget was honored as one of two winners. Her prize was a hefty $50,000 and the Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award.
Your prize, soon, might just be faster-charging, longer-lasting cell phones.
