Blockchain-related interest and investment have reached critical mass, PwC expert says ahead of the World Blockchain Forum 2017 in Dubai
1st March 2017 – Dubai, UAE: Blockchain's potential to transform businesses is becoming increasingly clear today, with the financial services being the most likely sector to be disrupted by this technology, PwC said, ahead of the Keynote Events 2017 World Blockchain Forum taking place in Dubai, on March 6, 2017. While blockchain investments are growing faster and new blockchain FinTech players are rapidly emerging, more financial institutions in the region are launching initiatives to understand possible business and operating models.
During the Forum, PwC Middle East Partner in Digital and Technology Consulting will present PwC's latest insights on Blockchain and its impact on Financial Services across the region.
In our view, blockchain technology may result in a radically different competitive future in the Financial Services industry, where current profit pools are disrupted and redistributed toward the owners of new, highly efficient blockchain platforms. Indeed, some farsighted banks in the Middle East are already exploring how blockchain might transform their approaches to trading and settling, investment and capital assets management. They recognise that the technology could become a differentiating factor in their own capabilities, enabling them to process transactions with more efficiency, security, privacy, reliability and speed.
Innovation from startups in this space is frenetic, with the pace of change so rapid that by the time print materials go to press they could already be out of date. To put this in perspective, PwC has identified more than 700 companies globally entering this arena. Among them, 150 are worthy to be tracked and 25 will likely emerge as leaders.
According to PwC's 2016 FinTech report Blurred lines: How FinTech is shaping Financial Services, blockchain technology has unique characteristics that can bring disruption in several sectors of the Financial Services industry, including retail payments, wholesale payments, capital market and security services, trade finance and insurance. Not only could there be huge cost savings through its use in back-office operations but also large gains in transparency that could be very positive from an audit and regulatory point of view. It may also have a long-term influence on the global economic system, reshaping market structure, customer experience and product features.
Bitcoin and Blockchain are still in a nascent stage in the region, and the UAE is the first country to actively take the next step and encourage use of the Blockchain. The UAE plays a lead role in fostering innovation, and encouraging new processes and methods to build smarter cities; I believe the UAE will set the stage for Blockchain adoption across the region. It represents a massive value add for companies on the Arabian Peninsula and across the Middle East, with a multi-billion-dollar new industry evolving over the next year or so alone. I see huge potential and growth in the FinTech space in the UAE and the Middle East region.
Blockchain's potential to transform businesses is becoming increasingly clear today, with the financial services being the most likely sector to be disrupted by this technology, PwC said, ahead of the Keynote Events 2017 World Blockchain Forum.

Florida man sentenced to 48 months in US prison for Caribbean cellphone fraud scheme
MIAMI, USA — A Florida resident has been sentenced to 48 months in prison by a US court in connection with a sophisticated cell phone fraud scheme that involved compromising cellphone customers' accounts and "cloning" their phones to make fraudulent international calls to several Caribbean countries.
Edwin Fana, 37, was sentenced last Thursday by US District Judge Daniel Hurley of the Southern District of Florida. He pleaded guilty on August 29 to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, access device fraud, the use, production or possession of modified telecommunications instruments and the use or possession of hardware or software configured to obtain telecommunications services; one count of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft. Fana received a reduced prison sentence due to his cooperation in the government's investigation.
According to the plea agreement, Fana and his co-conspirators participated in a scheme to steal access to and fraudulently open new cellphone accounts using the personal information of individuals around the United States.
Fana admitted that the conspirators then trafficked in the cellphone customers' telecommunication identifying information, using that data as well as other software and hardware to reprogram cellphones that they controlled to transmit thousands of international calls to Cuba, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic and other countries with high calling rates. The calls were billed to the victims' compromised accounts, he admitted.
In addition, Fana admitted that his role in the scheme included operating a "call site" in his residence in Miami Gardens. He would receive telecommunication identifying information associated with victims' accounts from his co-conspirators and use that data to re-program cellphones that he controlled. Fana's co-conspirators would then transmit international calls over the internet to Fana's residence, where he would route them through the re-programmed cellphones.
In October 2012, the FBI executed a search warrant on Fana's residence and discovered approximately 88 cellphones connected to networking equipment and actively routing calls.
Law enforcement seized nearly 11,000 telecommunications identifying numbers from Fana and he admitted that the scheme caused at least $1 million in losses.
Fana is the first defendant to be sentenced in the case. Jose Santana and Farintong Calderon have also pleaded guilty in connection with the scheme; Santana is scheduled to be sentenced on January 4, 2017, and Calderon is scheduled to be sentenced on February 21, 2017.
The case, dubbed Operation Toll Free, is part of the FBI's ongoing effort to combat large-scale telecommunications fraud.

Mayor Bloomberg has snagged the support of a third GOP county leader, effectively assuring him of the party line in November, sources said yesterday.
The sources said that Bronx GOP leader Jay Savino, once an outspoken critic of the mayor's decision to turn independent, has decided to sign on with Bloomberg's re-election campaign.
With GOP leaders in Brooklyn and Staten Island already on board, the mayor seems assured of winning enough votes among the executive members of the Republican county committees in all five boroughs to get the permission he needs to run on their line.
"When this is all over, he could wind up with most of the votes," said one source.
Bloomberg surrendered his Republican Party registration when he was considering running for president last year.
For months, those in the anti-Bloomberg camp have been pinning their hopes on the mayor not getting any major ballot lines.
That would have forced him to run as an independent on a new line far removed from the immediate eyesight of voters.
Political insiders scoffed at the scenario from the start, and predicted that Bloomberg would eventually win back Republican and Independence party defectors.

HMS Puttenham
|HMS Puttenham
|Puttenham[disambiguation needed]
|John I. Thornycroft & Company
|25 June 1956
|9 May 1958
|Sold 1980
|General characteristics
|Class and type:
|Ham-class minesweeper
|Pennant number(s): M2784 / IMS84
HMS Puttenham (M2784) was a Ham-class inshore minesweeper of the Royal Navy. She was launched in 1956 and entered service in 1958. The 93 ships of the Ham class had names chosen from villages ending in -ham. The minesweeper was named after Puttenham[disambiguation needed].
In June 1967, HMS Puttenham, equipped with twelve divers under the command of Engineer-Lieutenant Roy Graham, sailed to the Isles of Scilly in search of the wrecks of the great naval disaster in 1707. The wreck of HMS Association, a 90-gun second rate ship of the line, was finally located. Divers first discovered a cannon, and on the third dive, silver and gold coins were spotted.[1][2] More than 2,000 coins and other artefacts were later recovered from the site and auctioned by Sotheby's in July 1969.[3]
HMS Puttenham eventually ended service for the Royal Navy in 1980. She was sold to a private company and changes were later made to her superstructure. She continued serving in Greece as the passenger ferry Eleftheria until she was finally dismantled in Crete in November 2006, after 50 years at sea.[4]

StringCollection.IList.IndexOf Method
Searches for the specified Object and returns the zero-based index of the first occurrence within the entire StringCollection.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
- value
- Type: System.Object
The Object to locate in the StringCollection. The value can be null.
Return ValueType: System.Int32
The zero-based index of the first occurrence of value within the entire StringCollection, if found; otherwise, -1.
The StringCollection is searched forward starting at the first element and ending at the last element.
This method determines equality by calling Object.Equals.
This method performs a linear search; therefore, this method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.
Starting with the .NET Framework 2.0, this method uses the collection's objects' Equals and CompareTo methods on item to determine whether item exists. In the earlier versions of the .NET Framework, this determination was made by using the Equals and CompareTo methods of the item parameter on the objects in the collection.
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows XP SP2 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.

You might think about total cycling with Abandoned Sarcophagus. Let's you cast cards in your graveyard with cycling - so cycle away, draw for what you need, neg counters aplenty, build black insect tokens, joy!
That and of course - Key to the City to give that I just have to do damage discard outlet!
July 10, 2017 11:42 a.m.
AwesomeKyurem5 says... #2
cyclinggamer I will keep both as a nice suggestion for now. I can see the power of Abandoned Sarcophagus, but if you look, I would only be able to bring back Archfiend of Ifnir this way, but as I said, I will keep it in mind, especially if I get more cycling cards.
Also, not going to lie, I forgot to check artifacts for that kind of stuff, so I will have to do that and I believe Key to the City will probably be on the top of the list.
Thank you for the suggestions.

Liliana, Death Wielder is extremely expensive at 7 mana. Also, Ammit Eternal is way too good not to run in this. Also look at Soul-Scar Mage. If you feel frisky, splash green and you get a few cards like Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons, Channeler Initiate, and Obelisk Spider. Just some thoughts. +1 on the idea though.
July 10, 2017 7:19 p.m.
AwesomeKyurem5 says... #4
Dream3r I have looked at all cards in black red standard that put -1/-1 counters on creatures in any way and this deck was my top picks. Yes, Liliana costs a lot, but that's why there is only one. If I'm in a standard game where I get enough mana to bring her out, either she or Liliana's Influence would be in my hand at some point.
I agree Ammit Eternal is a great creature, but just kind of that. I don't have any cards that would be able to move counters from him, or anything like that. (Now that I'm thinking about it, though, he would work great with Key to the City) My point is, I'll keep him in mind, but he really is just a good creature that doesn't really go with anything. I do notice my lack of combat presence, though, which is why I'll keep him in mind.
Finally, the short one. Soul-Scar Mage is literally a 1/2 prowess in this version as all damage I deal is either combat or to player. I'll keep him in mind in case I want to do half burn, half counters, though. (Maybe there are burn spells with cycle? That wouldn't be bad at all.)
If I see better synergy with a green card, I may add it as a splash.
Anyway, thank you for the suggestions, and I'll see what I can do with this knowledge to make this deck better. (Sorry that this got a little long winded)
July 10, 2017 8:01 p.m.
What about Soul-Scar Mage with Hour of Devastation? Put's up to 5 counters on every creature, then if you have Hapatra and/or Nest of Scarabs that's potentially a lot of tokens and death!
Make sure you have enchantment removal in the sideboard, as Solemnity will shut you down.
July 11, 2017 12:50 p.m.
AwesomeKyurem5 says... #6
Soulus101 (and everybody else), I think I might put Soul-Scar Mage and burn in my sideboard, just in case this version doesn't run fast enough. Especially with all the comments and suggestions about it.
July 11, 2017 11:19 p.m.
Another thought for Soul-Scar Mage in Jund colours is Heaven / Earth. Strictly sideboard, but if your opponent puts out a few flyers you can essentially splurge your mana to put X counters on them all, and then get X scarabs for each flyer hit. You then have an aftermath board clearance which again can leave your opponent empty and you with a hoard of scarabs (in both cases you need the mage on the board when you cast, in the latter he dies).
Also wondering why you don't play Obelisk Spider?

Many of your G/R lands are pain lands... I'd recommend a few mountains and forests for early game and late game when you're low on life
July 15, 2017 1:18 p.m.
AwesomeKyurem5 says... #12
ACDAMAN not really. The only land in there where I would lose life is the Ifnir Deadlands. I believe you are thinking of Hashep Oasis and Ramunap Ruins. The only problem I see with this manabase would be most r/g lands enter tapped. I don't believe this to be much of a problem though, as I can get rid of them if I don't need them, this deck is a little black heavy, and has a bit of mana fixing as is. Thank you for your concern, though.
July 15, 2017 2:14 p.m.
I'd look into Channeler Initiate
July 15, 2017 2:28 p.m.
Legendary_penguin_of_death says... #14
I think there is a mana problem. I play tested it four times and two of the times I was unable to play anything until turn five. Another time I played it and it was fantastic, by turn 6 I felt that I would have had the game in the bag in an actual game. Great deck, the only thing I suggest is to get some multicolored lands to improve the flexibility and start playing cards more consistently on turn 1 or 2
July 15, 2017 3:16 p.m.
AwesomeKyurem5 says... #15
gumbogogo and Legendary_penguin_of_death, to keep this in the budget range, I may add some cards to the version I make at home as I open them in packs. I don't doubt that more early mana is heavily needed, but the only ones that mana fix and are under a dollar are Survivors' Encampment and Painted Bluffs (and Evolving Wilds), so I'll put more of those on this version as a base for people wanting to build a good deck at home for less than $30 and look at what I have to add to my personal one at home.

With all of the filter lands I see no reason to not run Grind / Dust to lose some friends for value and exile their entire board using Liliana's Influence or Archfiend of Ifnir, which was an interaction showcased on the Wizards Card of the Day

You might look for replaying lands with SBing Ramunap Excavator. So, your cycling / discard outlet is your cycling lands and Merciless Javelineer, but you are sacking your deserts to do things to your opponents. Think about Dunes of the Dead, which, when sacked grant you a 2/2 zombie, while you're sacking it.
Replace my earlier suggestion of putting in the Abandoned Sarcophagus with Ramunap Excavator. Why? Because you're sacking lands and you can continuously do so, all while keeping your other threats going to your opponent's face.
July 17, 2017 9:12 p.m.
AwesomeKyurem5 says... #20
sagartomar99 I am still building the deck, so I, unfortunately, have yet to try it out. I have been trying to see if I can't get a good chunk of the cards from trade before buying the rest of it. Also, people keep coming up with good suggestions. For example, cyclinggamer here. I will have to think of Dunes of the Dead, as a zombie wouldn't be bad, as long as my colors are fixed first. As for Ramunap Excavator, someone has suggested him before and I would totally put him in, if he wasn't $6 per copy. I personally am on a bit of a budget, so I don't want to go crazy with price.
July 18, 2017 10:38 a.m.
cyclinggamer says... #21
With all the Ramunap Excavators given out for release weekend as the promo card, I thought it might dip a bit in price.

No problem haha, I missed it at first two because of all the text it gets buried under. Had considered cutting it from my list but the reach really helps it stick. Could be huge into blue-white flash and white weenie match ups if those end up still getting played.

Sorry I'm pretty new, is this supposed to be a 64 card deck?
I was under the impression you shouldn't go over a 60 card deck?
July 27, 2017 7:57 p.m.
AwesomeKyurem5 says... #27
Keobr Yes, this deck is over 60 cards. The only format that I am aware of that has an exact number of cards that go in your deck is commander at a set 100 cards. This is a standard deck, which says you can have any deck size between 60-80 cards. Most other formats say minimum 60 cards and max of however many you want, as long as you can shuffle it unassisted in a reasonably amount of time.
Most will say not to go over 60 for the fact of, the bigger the deck, the harder it is to get that one card you want, but that is just a rule of thumb.

If your computer is running slower these days, or freezes up when you have too many programs running, you might need to reorganize your hard drive.
Even if your computer runs smoothly right now, it is still beneficial to know all of the space saving techniques that you can use to make sure your computer is clean, easy to navigate and in the best possible condition.
Before you begin, let's take a look at the current disk space you are utilizing and how much free disk space you have available.
Open My Computer (XP) or Computer (Vista), then right click on "C Drive " and select Properties .
In the General tab, it should give you pie chart and information regarding the amount of free space currently available on your hard drive similar to the following screen shot:
If your free space is less than your used space, it is important to make sure you are maximizing your computer's performance by cleaning up your disk. To help, here are ten ways to clean up, organize and save space on your computer's hard drive.
1. Disk Clean Up
If the Properties dialogue box of you drive is not open, go ahead and open it (as shown above) and select the General Tab, then click on the Disk Cleanup button.
After this function has scanned your computer for available space, it will present you with another dialogue box. Here, you can view the files that are currently available to be deleted without causing problems on your system. These types of files include: Temporary Internet Files, Recycle Bin and can even compress your older files. You can click on each item, and view a brief description of what their purpose and reason is for being on your system. If it says, "You can safely delete these files" definitely check mark these items.
For any other items, you will need to use discretion, as once they are deleted they will not be available again. After check marking the files you want to delete, click on Clean up .
2. Defrag Your Computer
In the "Properties" dialogue box that you checked out by right clicking your "C Drive" folder, go to the "Tools" tab. Click on the "Defrag Now" button and your computer will analyze the space and information on your hard drive. After this, it will let you know if you need to defrag. If it recommends that you defrag, go ahead and do this. Nothing will be deleted, but your computer will maximize all the information it has on it by reorganizing the files.
3. Delete Old Or Unused Program Files
Go to your Control Panel (click on Start \ Control Panel ), then click on Add or Remove Programs .
Your computer might take a couple minutes to list your currently installed program files. Once it compiles the list, look through it and observe carefully the amount of space each program is taking up, how often you use each program, what company the program was downloaded from, and the name of the program. Do not delete any program that you aren't aware of its use. It could possibly be a very important windows program that you aren't aware is running to ensure proper computer functionality. But, if there are old, unused programs that you do not plan to use any longer, or do not need, go ahead and remove these programs.
4. Invest In A Second Hard Drive
Adding a second hard drive is a great way to expand storage capacity and help organize disk space on your computer. This will allow you to save space on your C drive by transferring folders and rarely used files that you may want to access later, onto the second hard drive.
Another great use when adding a second hard drive is for back up purposes. By backing up your system (or creating an image) onto the second hard drive, if you ever need to restore your operating system, you can just restore it from backup, and quickly be up and running in no time. Also it's a great way to restores files and folders that you may have accendently deleted while cleaning up your hard drive. ; -)
5. Zip It Up!
Zipping up your files is basically a way of compressing your files into very, very small files, while keeping them easily accessible if you ever need them. There are many ways to do this, but the most common and easy way is to use Windows built in zip utility or a program like 7-Zip.
Good files to zip up are documents and files that are important, but you do not need to access very often. If you need these files at least once a month, don't archive them, because it will become a hassle trying to open them back up all the time. Take the files you don't need to use all the time, zip them up into pertinent folders, and delete the originals. Anytime you need to use the files, simply unzip the contents of the folders and enjoy!
6. Save Onto USB Drive
Saving files onto USB drive are a great solution for archiving files and folders that you don't need all the time. Becuase of their portability, you can easily plug in a USB drive when needed, and instantly expand the storage capacity of your Computer. Combining files that are zipped onto a USB driive also provides a great back up solution as well.
Once you have copied items that you don't need on your PC, you can go back and delete all the files from your computer
7. Cleanup And Organize Music Files
Music files take up a ridiculous amount of space on your computer. By transferring these files onto an external drive, zipping them up, or burning them all onto data disks you will free up an exorbitant amount of space.
8. Delete Files from your Desk Top
Having too many files on the desktop can make things feel cluttered and obtrusive. If you work on the computer, or use it for any time at all, you will feel all warm and fuzzy inside by deleting or moving the files from your desktop and putting them into files within your "My Documents" "Pictures" or other directories within your computer. It will also help you to access the files more intuitively and stay organized.
9. Browser BookMarks
This isn't necessarily related to your hard drive, but it is refreshing to have a nice set of organized, well titled and descriptive bookmarks in the browser that you prefer. Open up your book marks, and properly title, organize in folders, delete unused links and view all your book marks. This will also take some time, but will probably save you time in the long run, by finding the sites you need right away and with ease.
10. Delete, Rename and Organize your Folders
On your computer, the top tier of folder should be: My Documents, My Pictures, My Music, Program Files, Temp, and Windows (or whatever operating system name or designation is here.) There may be some others depending upon what you have downloaded onto your system, like PHP, APACHE or others.
Under these folders, you should do your best to organize, delete, rename and prioritize your files so that you can access them as easily as possible, and as intuitively as possible. It may take some time, but it will end up saving you time in the long run; instead of searching through your whole computer for a file or folder, you'll know exactly where it's at. Also, by doing this, you might find folders and/or files that you can safely delete. DO NOT delete any files or folders within your Windows or other Operating System directory. In fact, don't even go in that folder unless you are an experienced with Computer administartion.

Facebook doesn't just censor nudity and profanity. Facebook censors non-mainstream news.
Facebook violated free speech and suspended Andrea Lalama's account for posting a picture of her two kids holding signs at the March Against Monsanto protest on Sunday, Natural News reported.
Lalama posted this picture of her kids holding signs that say: ORGANIC FOOD It's My Medicine – Label GMOs – Say NO to GMO" and "BIOPESTICIDES = AUTISM – SAY NO TO GMO." Natural News shared the photo on their Facebook page and Lalama's account was immediately disabled.
This message popped up on her screen: "You have been restricted with Interacting With Pages until Saturday, June 8, 2013 at 6:47pm."
Here's a screen shot of the message on Lalama's page:
Facebook blocked other users from posting the picture as well. Georgia Galluci was censored for "reposting a friend's photo from the Monsanto March." Another Facebook account called "Reversing Autism" was also flagged for trying to post content deemed "abusive":
Facebook is a company and can choose to suspend any page it wants. But the question is, what's the political motivation for doing so in this particular instance?

For too many kids in Boone County, the only meals they eat during the day are the ones their schools provide for them. But what happens when school isn't in session? What do kids eat during Fall, Christmas, and Spring breaks? What do they do in the summer time?
Those are the questions we wondered and the answers did not sit well with us. What food many of our county's children do eat during their breaks are sugar-filled and unhealthy snacks. That's not good enough for our county's children.
So Shalom took a leap and started the Kids' Lunch Program. During school breaks, volunteers are sent throughout the county to deliver sack lunches to families with children. These sacks contain enough food for a week's worth of lunches. This is no small endeavor as we weekly pack and ship hundreds of meals throughout the county. As our program has grown and as we strive to provide fresh, healthy food (our newest initiative provides milk vouchers for families!), our costs have continued to rise. This program alone costs between $3,000-$5,000 a week. Donations from churches, individuals, and local business have been instrumental in helping make this program thrive. Volunteers from throughout the county donate food, money, and their time to pack and distribute meals.
We do all of this, along with serving two weekly meals at the Shalom House, with only 1 part-time paid staff member. That means we couldn't do it with Y-O-U! So we say: THANK YOU! Thank you for your donations, for your time, and for your support. With your help, "natural needs are [being] satisfied and natural gifts fruitfully employed." With your help and continued involvement, shalom is being spread! Lebanon Community Schools, Western Boone and Zionsville winter distribution will be will be January 2, 2018.

Independent variable: It is the variable that the experimenter changes, to get different values from dependent variable.
Dependent variable: The variable that depends on independent variable.
Controlled variable: The variable that doesn't actually affect anything.
How to identify these variables?
Let's take a look on a past question paper from IGCSE Physics 2013 Jan Paper 1.
Q: A student investigates how the resistance of a wire depends on its length. The photograph shows the circuit that the student uses. Identify the independent and dependent variable.
One easy technique to find the answers is to check what variable the experimenter is trying to measure. That variable will be the dependent variable. The variable that it is depending on is the independent variable.
Ans: Dependent variable: Resistance (as it is the result the student is trying to obtain)
Let's take a look on another question from 2013 May Paper 1.
Q: A student investigates the vertical forces acting on the ends of a horizontal ruler when it supports a load. The ruler hangs from two newtonmeters with a weight suspended from it as shown.
The student moves the weight along the ruler and records forces B and C by taking readings from the newtonmeters. Identify the independent and controlled variable.
Ans: Independent variable: Distance A
Controlled variable: force D
What makes a fair test?
If an experiment consist of only one independent variable and dependent variable, and all other variables are controlled, then this experiment is a fair test.
For example, a question from 2013 June 2PR. A student investigates friction between a block of wood and different types of surface. The student uses the equipment shown in photograph A to measure the force needed to move the block of wood.
Explain why he keeps the masses constant during the experiment.
Ans: To keep a fair test.
Explanation: The independent variable of this experiment is type of surface. So there cannot be more than one independent variable. The masses, if different, can affect the force needed to move the block (the dependent variable). So it should be controlled to keep a fair test.

Book Review: The Wrath of Brotherhood by Ozgur K. Sahin
Captain Roy Toppings had planned to live a relatively peaceful life plying a small shipping route between England and the Continent, but the murder of his sister by pirates set him on a different course, and now he's a privateer operating out of Port Royal.
Roy's quest for the man who he blames for his sister's death has to be put on hold for the moment. It seems that the Spanish are up to something big, and the Dutch colony of Curaçao is in imminent danger. Can the crew of The Constance and their new-found allies save the day?
This is the first novel by Minnesota writer Ozgur K. Sahin, and the first in a projected "The Brotherhood of the Spanish Main" pirate fiction series. The setting is the Caribbean Sea circa the Restoration of Charles II in the 17th Century.
It's interesting to compare the character attitudes to earlier pirate-themed works I've read. Captain Toppings is remarkably non-sexist and -racist for his time, as well as anti-slavery a good century ahead of most people. He's hired Ajuban, an African ex-slave, as his first mate, and soon signs on refugee Incan woman Coya as a scout. The crew is rounded out with other quirky characters, most with "nice" personalities. One character is depicted as being more romantically inclined towards Coya than she's comfortable with, but this is shown entirely from her point of view and as of yet he has confined himself to attempting to talk to her when she doesn't want to.
The plot breezes by with an acceptable level of coincidence, but the one concern I have is that the crew's luck is a bit too good–one or two well-timed setbacks would have ratcheted up the tension. Perhaps this will happen in the sequel, since there's a very obvious hook.
There is talk of torture, and it's made clear that the privateers will resort to it if they must (there's a minor character who does this professionally), but none occurs on-stage.
Some use of dialect is genre-appropriate, but I know it ticks off some readers.
That said, although this book was written for adults, it should be okay for pirate-loving junior high readers on up. I like the handsome hardcover edition with endpaper maps, but the perfectly acceptable ebook version is more affordable and will also help keep the author fed.
A good first novel, recommended for fans of pirate tales.

Question about Yamaha RX-V757 Receiver
Posted by ruckus57 on
I've tried everything recommended in the owner's manual; still no results. I tried disconnecting and unplugging everything, leaving it overnight, and then reconnecting one element and speaker at a time to make sure it isn't a short in the speaker wires. Still no results.
I'm not getting any sound from the headphones either. I don't want to make matters worse by messing with circuitry and other internal components since I obviously don't have a clue what I'm doing, so I took it in to a repair shop today.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
Trying numerous solutions will be too costly and take a lot longer to fix. Have a technician nearby your area, preferably ones of the manufacturer to have a free assessment of the actual cause of the problem. From there you'll be able to buy and replace whatever is damaged.

hope this helps

There may be some problem in the ports or if some capacitor burned out near the ports inside in the board also it doesnt work .....
just have a check with this ....
Posted on Jun 28, 2008
if you are good at opening then just open it ....
and just have a smooth look on the board is there is any capacitor burnt near the ports ....
(some times the capacitor looks in the good condition if it is burnt out also )
this can be resolved by checking the capacitors near the ports using the instrument needed for it ...
as i think it is a clear cut case of burnt capacitor ...
capacitors are responsible for the correctly power supply to the port for the proper functioning ....
i suggest to you to just power on and take a tester & keep it in the ports & check the power supply to the ports ....
any doubts reply me ....
rate the solution as per your satisfaction
Tech 48 has it correct. The most probable problem is shorted output transistors. This is common for older receivers and is not an abuse indication at all. The unit is in protect mode and will emit no sound until the problem is resolved. Look for the output transistors attached to the heatsink. If you can solder, try unsoldering all of the pins in these transistors. Then turn on the receiver and measure the voltages on the three pads where the transistors were connected. Post the readings here and we'll continue on to the next step. If you feel uncomfortable with this action, expect a parts cost in the $15-$40 range depending upon whether 1 or 2 channels are effected. Add in the local labor rate for the total repair cost.
Posted on Jun 28, 2008
Have you tried all inputs to see if any work? Also, how loud were you listening to it when it went or do you have a habit to crank it up? If so, you may have fried the board. Please let me know how this is used, thanks
Posted on Jun 27, 2008
Make sure your tape monitor switch is not engaged. If it is, you will see a small display of "tape monitor" lit up or the tape monitor switch will have a red led lit up for it.
This is a very common mistake people make by accident.
If the problem is inside the receiver, there are just too many different things that can cause this. Anything from a shorted output channel, to a bad switching IC, or a bad component on the DSP board. All of the audio goes into and out of the DSP board. You will not find a speaker fuse inside this unit, only a power supply fuse and if the unit turns on, that fuse is good.
I have repaired hundreds of receivers over the last 17 + years and can say with certainty that these receivers are worth fixing most of the time. If the DSP board must be replaced and not repaired, then it may be too costly
The Yamaha receivers are very good one's, not some cheap-o brand. I am sure you realize this since you own it.
I can help you further if you would like, just address the post you make to me if you is.
Thanks and good luck with this,
Posted on Jun 27, 2008
Sorry the last word is supposed to be "do"....a type-o
I made a mistake.
some of these receivers have a pair of fuses that supply the voltage rails of the outputs. Sometimes they are on the power transformer board and other times on the main board where the power transformer wires go to the main amp board. Just make sure if you decide to open this unit up to turn off the power and unplug it from the wall outlet. It can be dangerous poking around inside. Better to be safe than sorry.
Do you have any more information regarding anything you may have done to get this working?
It is vital for the experts to know how your progress is going in order to help you further.
Was the "Tape Monitor" switch engaged? It will cause the unit to have no output unless a tape recorder is connected and is in the record mode. The display will look normal, you can switch sources and everything seems like it is OK, but you would only hear sound if the volume is turned all the way up, and then the sound would be very faint (barely audible). It is a sure sign that the monitor is engaged. Some receivers have a "Monitor" button, and not a "Tape Monitor" button, but they are both the same thing. If you have a tape deck connected, one way to see if that is the problem is to put a recordable tape in it and press the record button. If your audio returns while recording the monitor button is engaged. Make sure you have a source selected like the tuner tuned to a station or the CD selected and a CD playing.
One other thing to look for is that the "A" or "B" speaker selection switches are properly engaged. If you have speakers only on the "A" speaker jacks, some receivers will have no audio if the "A" and the "B" speakers are both selected. Just make sure that whichever speaker jacks you have speakers connected to, that only that speaker button is selected.
Thanks, and any updates would be appreciated, and be sure to accept what ever solution was the most helpful for you.
Since you are not getting anything from the headphones and you have checked for the monitor switch, you might have a digital board problem, all of the audio goes into and out of the digital board. It may even have the electronic volume control IC for the pre-amp on it. This could also be a problem on the input board with a switching IC. In any case, letting a professional technician look at it is the best way to go now. I hope you would be kind enough to let me know just what that problem was after they fix it. I would really appreciate that, I don't really care about getting rated for this, just curious about the actual problem.
Good luck with it,
Its the problem on the main board of the reciever. just open n check out for any bulged up capacitors that is shorting the track.if u hve a technical knowledge n if u r familiar with soldering u can replace those bulged capacitors.it will work fine for sure.
feel free 4 further assistance .rate the particular experts solution as fixya that helps u understand n solve ur problem.
Posted on Jun 23, 2008
There could be quite a few reasons for this. One is that the amplifier has blown. Have you tried the earphone jack for sound?
Does the unit turn on and act as though it is playing OK? If so then I would suspect the amp. These receivers are very digital in nature so if it thinks it's playing then the logic circuitry is most likely OK. There may be a fuse inside for the speaker outputs to protect the receiver. You may want to open the unit and check and test any fuses you might see. Also look for any burnt, broken, loose, or bulging components. If you see anything suspicious you can try to replace it or have someone do it for you.
I would unplug everything first and start fresh. Leave it unplugged over night in hopes that any protection circuitry resets itself. Plug in 1 speaker and test the FM tuner. Then continue adding speakers and inputs one at a time, turning off the unit every time, until it stops producing sound. You may discover that one of your speakers are shorted out and causing your problem, or that a specific input or speaker output is not working. This may help locate the faulty component.
Posted on Jun 23, 2008
Try checking the following:
The input mode is set to DTS or
Select AUTO.
No appropriate input source has been
Select an appropriate input source with INPUT,
MULTI CH INPUT (or MULTI CH IN on the remote
control) or the input selector buttons.
Speaker connections are not secure. Secure the connections.
The front speakers to be used have not
been selected properly.
Select the front speakers with SPEAKERS A and/or
The volume is turned down. Turn up the volume. —
The sound is muted. Press MUTE or any operation button of this unit to
resume audio output, then adjust the volume.
The input mode is set to ANALOG while
playing a source encoded with a DTS
Set the input mode to AUTO or DTS.
Hope that helps.........
Posted on Jun 23, 2008
I suggest you to first replace the speakers, if you still face the problem then your reciver/amp has a problem in it. Sorry to say bud, but in these cases it is nor worth having these types of recivers repaired. it would cost about the same if not more to repair it as it would to replace it now a days.

Oh, what a busy busy morning.
Started off just fine. Then my dress for this year's Christmas party arrived (remember, the big fancy one my husband's work throw every year? I found a faboo dress ON SALE at Fairy Gothmother online. Wheeee! Shiny burgundy silk, the kind that looks black when the light hits it right, I am so, so jazzed. I am also on a serious diet again. I've lost almost three pounds in the last week and a half, so doing well.)
I figured I had just enough time to open the package, but of course once I SAW it, I couldn't resist running upstairs and trying it on–at least the top (it's a two piece.)
Then Princess lost a tooth, good ecause it's been loose for a while.
I was running a little late thanks to the couture oogling and the tooth-hole examining and the convincing Princess it wasn't exactly a good idea to take the tooth to school, because what if she lost it and so couldn't leave it for the tooth fairy, when she suddenly said, "We were supposed to take our little sisters to school for pictures today!"
It's school picture day.
And my children, although (thankfully) clean, look basically like they've just rolled out of bed–Princess's pigtails are uneven, Faerie's hair isn't brushed. I grab the brush and wipes for her little face and haul ass, we were supposed to be there fifteen minutes before!
Then I waited for half an hour to get the picture. (Her school does pictures of kids with their siblings before school, which is nice of them.) Of course, I didn't bring anything to clip Faerie's hair out of her face. Also of course, they while away the waiting time by running around like loons, so by the time out turn comes Faerie is sweaty.
Picture turns out okay. But it's 9:30, and we need to be at Faerie's new preschool at 10:30 for an hour-long "adjustent visit". And I have to take a shower.
Rush home. Call hubs to tell him what lazy and irresponsible parents we are, that we forgot school picture day. Shower. Can't resist trying on skirt for dress. Looovely. Dry hair.
Go to preschool, all goes great! Yay! And it's picture day there too, so Faerie gets hers taken. Photographer loves her, she won't stop posing. Like, head to one side, big smile, shoulder forward posing. It's hysterical. We finally get a straight forward shot, adorable, of course.
Come home. Try on dress again, this time with crinoline. Wheee! Dress does not need hemming with crinoline and heels! I can spend the money I saved on jewelry.
And that's been my morning. And I don't know what I'll make for dinner still.
As far as work goes…last night I decided to scrap my almost-half-finished Caveman story and do something else. I thought the heroine was adorable and the set up cute but it just wasn't working. BUT, I'm waaay excited about the new one, it's already at around 5k, and I expect to have it finished in plenty of time. So out of my 40k words in just over two weeks goal, I have completed, um…about 25k. Not bad. Of course 5k of that is useless, but still.
And the day is flying by. And that's it.
Oh, except, I'm putting together a FAQ for the Stacia Kane site. I know you guys don't like having to do this (judging by the tepid responses it gets) but if you want to ask a question for the site please do! Can't have a FAQ without 'em!

Banana sign (cerebellum)
The banana sign is one of the many notable fruit inspired signs.
It is seen on axial imaging through the posterior fossa of the fetus and is associated with the Chiari II malformation. It describes the way the cerebellum is wrapped tightly around the brain stem as a result of spinal cord tethering and downward migration of the posterior fossa contents. The cisterna magna gets obliterated and the shape of the cerebellum has the appearance of a banana. The sign persists into the second and third trimesters.
The banana sign is also seen in the majority of fetuses with spina bifida, but disappears after 24 weeks. There is very frequently concurrent hydrocephalus.

The Milwaukee Brewers are trying to give themselves an advantage in the second half of the season by acquiring an ace for their rotation. Yesterday, it was revealed that the Brewers were very interested in trading for Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher David Price. Now, it appears the team has turned their eyes to Boston Red Sox ace Jon Lester. As much as it is a good idea to go after Price, Milwaukee must stay away from Lester at all costs.
It is true that Lester would be huge for the Brewers down the stretch and be a leading reason why the team would win the NL Central. At this point, Milwaukee needs to make a significant move before Thursday's trade deadline if they want to take their first place record and turn it into a World Series berth. However, acquiring Lester in a trade is a terrible idea.
Yes, he would be of great help this season, but he has already admitted that he plans to re-sign with the Red Sox once he hits free agency at the end of the year. That means Milwaukee would be giving up top prospects to simply have him for less than half of a season. On top of that, they would have to part ways with Jimmy Nelson, who is their No. 1 prospect and current starting pitcher on the major-league roster. Nelson has tremendous upside, which means it would not be worth giving him up for a player that will only make a handful of starts.
I admire that the Brewers want to bolster their rotation in a season that they could legitimately do something special. Unfortunately, Lester is not going to help in the long run. Of course, if Milwaukee wins the World Series because of the transaction, then any move is worth it.

This system has been designed to meet the individual and often changing needs of the end customer. With it, UAS has met the challenge of vacuum processing fragile extruded feed without product damage or fines generation.

The full potential of vacuum infusion has yet to be realized. UASVacuum Infusion Systems are being used in the field to create new products that are only possible through the use of this process. The ability to achieve fat levels to 40% and add expensive micro-additives after extrusion and drying are but a few of the advantages of vacuum infusion.
With our advanced equipment and extremely flexible control system, it is possible for the user to produce new and innovative products completely in-house. This helps to secure these innovations from competitors ensuring leading edge market advantage.
The UAS Vacuum Infusion System was designed with larger, and generally more fragile, pellets in mind. Our system handles varying pellet sizes without degradation by permitting user defined product specific parameter settings.
The UAS Vacuum Infusion System's design concept imitates the gentle operation of conventional drum-type top dressers that have been accepted as the industry standard for many years. Our standard design with its many features is the most gentle handling vacuum infusion mixer available.
Fabricated in our workshops by highly qualified technicians to the exacting standards of our in-house engineering staff, the Vacuum Infusion System reflects UAS ' commitment to excellence. Leaving nothing to chance, we build each vessel with only the best components, with no expense spared in our goal of creating a tough, reliable, low maintenance product.
The UAS Model 4296 Vacuum Infusion System provides the ability to process dry extruded animal feeds in batch sizes from 250 to 800 kilograms.
For typical high fat infusion applications (30-40% final fat content), product throughput rates in excess of 12,000 kilograms of dry pellets per hour can be achieved with this model.
Larger and smaller capacity units are also available.
Need to know what's going on? Animated graphics provide the user with instant system status at a glance.
The Control Program's comprehensive reporting capabilities will show you not only the levels requested, but also the levels actually achieved by the system during the Vacuum Infusion process. Reports are then stored to allow printing and archiving of any desired information.
Equipped with an Allen Bradley Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), the Vacuum Infusion System is not only easy to use, it is extremely powerful. Through the use of 'Touch Screen' technology, it allows the user to create a number of production 'recipes' with advanced control of oil delivery time, vacuum setpoint, vacuum release time, batch size, mix time and mixer speed, number of cycles, selection of liquid delivery nozzles, liquids mixing time, order of application, etc.
Accuracy is assured through the use of patented state-of-the-art weigh scale technology and monitored by the UAS Control Program. Advanced diagnostic capabilities and user level password protection round out a program that is truly revolutionary.
Innovative features make this system the most functional available. Our proprietary gate design (patent pending) will give you years of low maintenance and consistent sealing.
UAS Vacuum Mixers are built to exacting design tolerances in a unique round geometry, to prevent product damage. Our 'zero clearance' paddle design ensures complete mixer emptying, even with pellets as small as 1mm in diameter. This, combined with our proven mixing paddle design, allows the mixer to achieve accurate, complete, repeatable mixing at low agitation speeds.
Our infusion system incorporates a mixer tilt function that can be used on a batch-by-batch basis or at the end of a product run to further guarantee complete mixer emptying.
The UAS liquid/dry ingredients batching system does away with expensive, complicated, maintenance intensive flow meters. Our approach to the ingredients proportioning problem reflects our 'keep it simple and reliable' design philosophy, while at the same time providing the user unparalleled flexibility of operation.
Our programmers and engineers love a challenge! Bring us your special needs and we can custom design our system to meet them.UAS has been meeting the needs of feed processors around the world for over three decades!

We spent two weeks enjoying our stay at the Bamboo cottage. Very peaceful setting!
Very nice to be away from the resorts and out in the country. The house is beautiful and the owners helpful.
Over time, we have stayed in all of the homes. We have found them to be extremely well stocked in all categories (including numerous old school board games). The beds and furniture are comfortable. The outdoor showers are the perfect end to a day of sun, sand and beach. The remote area may seem daunting at first but you are literally 25 minutes from some world class beaches. Waking up to the sounds of waves, birds, cows and donkeys is just an out of world experience and really brought to home that we were in paradise. The property managers are extremely responsive and do their best to make your stay even better. I will definitely return.
The Bamboo suite is beautiful and quiet. It is connected to a larger rental on the property, but still felt very private. We hardly saw our neighbors. It rained nearly every night during our early March stay, but it was only a 30 minute drive to the sunny coast. It was nice to cool off a bit on the Lanai after a day at the beach.
Our only complaints are that the outdoor shower did not drain properly and the internet connection is hit or miss. Otherwise we had a lovely stay.
Also, make sure to stop at GJ's Huli Chicken for lunch! It was the best (and cheapest) meal that we had in Hawaii. They set up a bbq next door to the Hawi visitors center on Thursdays.
This place is absolutely beautiful and very quiet...it's lovely to fall asleep whith the sounds of the crickets and the waves (that you won't see...) Far from the tourists and the noise of the big city...it's also far from the beach if you're coming for swimming, snorkeling or surfing.
The Internet connection was poor and the drain of the beautiful outside shower was blocked...little disappointed...but overall we had a great time!
My wife & I stayed in the Bamboo Suite at the Akoni Pule Guesthouse to celebrate our 50th anniversary, for two beautiful and relaxing weeks and found it truly was a special piece of paradise. The weather in early October was beautiful with one day of rain in two weeks. Mornings were spent with coffee on the Lanai listening as the distant surf sang its song to the birds. If you want privacy, beauty and a taste of Hawaii this is it. It is far enough north that it private but closes enough to visit the rest of the islands shopping centers, parks and historic sites. The suite had many beautiful native wood furniture pieces, a kitchen large enough for the two of us to prepare meals, which we seldom did, (the food on the island is GREAT and close) and enough sporting equipment for a family. There was a large screen TV, DVD player & DVD's in the breezeway. There is an all-natural delicious smoothie stand & taco restaurant a short walk away. There is a beach within a 10 minute drive and the outstanding Pollok Valley – Lookout, with its black sand beach 15 minutes away, so bring your camera. Spencer beach Park was our favorite. The towns Kapaau and Hawi were beautiful, quiet and had an assortment of restaurants and native arts & crafts. Be sure to stop at the Nanbu Courtyard in Kapa'au for Carols souvenirs (best prices). The suite is kept in great shape thanks to the owner's brother who meticulously oversees and maintains it. We will definitely be back.
Mahalo to the owner & his family for a great stay

Washington has 640,000 military veterans -- about 10 percent of the state's population.
A Vancouver man's idea to save Washington millions of dollars in health-care costs continues to attract the attention of other states.
State official Bill Allman uses a national database to find Washington residents who are eligible for federal veterans' benefits.
Now Oregon has decided to follow Washington's lead, while California and Texas are taking steps to implement the program.
Washington has 640,000 military veterans — about 10 percent of the state's population.
Allman said the program has helped move about 10,000 Washington veterans and their family members to the federal Veterans Affairs health-care system. And that has saved the state more than $30 million in Medicaid expenditures, he said.
Allman, who splits his time between Department of Social and Health Services offices in Vancouver and Olympia, started the program in 2003. It uses the federal Public Assistance Reporting Information System to identify military veterans who are receiving health care through state-funded Medicaid programs that serve low-income residents.
Allman was elected president of the PARIS board of directors in March, giving him an opportunity to share his findings with officials across the country.
"It allows me to do more outreach," said Allman, a Vietnam veteran.
He didn't have to travel very far to participate in a recent meeting. A few days ago, Allman took part in a presentation by an Oregon colleague who was pitching a PARIS-based program to the Oregon departments of Health Services and Veterans Affairs.
"I gave my overview from a Washington state experience. The bottom line was that they were so impressed that they decided to scrap the pilot idea and proceed to implementing it statewide," Allman said.
"As they stated, we acted as the pilot for them. I agreed to continue assisting their implementation process based upon my duties as president of the PARIS board of directors."
There is plenty of room for expanding that sort of outreach, he said, citing a 2009 VA report.
"Only 27 percent of veterans and family members were receiving monthly monetary benefits that they were likely eligible for," he said.
A better deal
Veterans' benefits are particularly significant in the area of long-term care, Allman said.
When long-term care is provided by the state through Medicaid, "You have to pay it back, or the state must recoup its expenses … if you have anything to repay it with," Allman said.
"For people who own a home, the state will go through an estate recovery process and put a lien on the home for long-term Medicaid help."
On the other hand, "Veterans' benefits are earned through service," Allman said.
Texas has taken steps to move forward on a program like Washington's, said April Ferrino, an analyst with the Texas Legislative Budget Board.
"Three big things appealed to us: assisting veterans in getting the benefits they're entitled to; promoting interagency cooperation so the state can maximize resources within a time of stressed budgets; and creating savings for the state Medicaid program," Ferrino said. "It seemed like a win-win for clients and the state government as well."
The Texas legislature has passed two bills to implement the program when the state's new fiscal year starts Sept. 1, she said.
Texas, which has 1.6 million veterans, hasn't established dollar-saving goals. "We didn't want to go down that road when initially looking at the program. It depends on services," as well as levels of disability, Ferrino said.
There have been a number of PARIS success stories, she said.
"To me, that was evidence, and we could try it without guaranteeing an end result. Washington started very small, and once it started to demonstrate savings and value, that was evidence enough for the Legislature to invest more money," Ferrino said.
California recently finished a two-year pilot program in several counties. A bill introduced in the California Assembly calls for making it a statewide program. According to the bill, additional administrative costs would be about $300,000 for a program that could save $250 million annually.
Potential savings for a bleeding budget is just one selling point, a California official said.
"It really helps the veterans," said Manuel Urbina, with the California Department of Health Care Services. "They get great coverage from the VA system that may surpass what they got in California Medicaid benefits."
He also noted that the VA system is much more family-friendly in providing long-term care with no strings attached.
"We would be seeking to recover from the veteran's estate for the cost of long-term care," Urbina said. "For many families in California, it's an attractive reason to choose the VA."

Western Diplomats Moving Carefully on Iran
U.S. and European diplomats walk a delicate line as they confront Iran over a disputed nuclear program. Punishing Iran with economic sanctions is an option, but a series of smaller, more targeted actions may come first.
JOHN YDSTIE, host:
From NPR News in Washington, D.C., this WEEKEND EDITION.
(Soundbite of music)
I'm John Ydstie. Scott Simon is out with laryngitis.
On this day, 30 years ago, the first Concorde passenger planes took off, one from London, one from Paris. A team of British and French engineers beat out American and Soviet designers to create the world's fastest way to fly outside of a spacecraft. The biggest engineering challenge was to create a plane that could withstand air friction at supersonic speed. The Concorde was lovely to look at and thrilling to ride, but only 16 were ever built. A Concorde crashed in 2000, and the elegant plane was phased out within three years.
After the newscast, the U.S. considers sanctions against Iran.
Today is Saturday, January 21, 2006.
YDSTIE: This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm John Ydstie.
The U.S. and Europe are involved in intensive diplomatic efforts to keep the heat on Iran to halt programs many diplomats fear could help Tehran get a nuclear bomb.
Iran already seems to be anticipating economic sanctions down the road. This week, its central bank chief said that Iran's foreign currency reserves will be withdrawn from European banks. But diplomats on both sides of the Atlantic say they are only considering targeted sanctions as a way to keep Iran isolated.
NPR's Michele Kelemen reports.
MICHELE KELEMEN reporting:
Diplomats are far from the point where they would seek the imposition of sanctions on Iran. The first step is simply getting the United Nations Security Council to deal with Iran. And to do that, the U.S. and Europe are trying to get the International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors to refer Iran to New York.
Russia, a key player, has been seeking a slower two-step approach, but today State Department Spokesman Sean McCormack made clear he expects the IAEA Board of Governors to act at its forthcoming emergency meeting.
Mr. SEAN MCCORMACK (Spokesman, State Department): Make no mistake about it, we, the EU3 and others, are firmly behind referral to the Security Council at the, coming out of the February 2 meeting in Vienna.
KELEMEN: Some diplomats are suggesting that the Security Council start by simply issuing a firm statement demanding that Iran comply with its international obligations. The threat of sanctions would be further down the road.
One European diplomat put it this way, if you throw a frog into boiling water, it will just jump out and survive. But it won't survive if you turn up the heat slowly.
George Perkovich of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace believes this is the right approach.
Mr. GEORGE PERKOVICH (Carnegie Endowment for International Peace): People should understand or envision a process of going to the Security Council as something where you have a dial of measures, and you just dial it up over time. And so the first step is, you know, to get a condemnation, et cetera. Then when you get to sanctions, if you get to sanctions, you start with things like travel bans. You don't allow Iranian officials or their family members to travel to certain places.
KELEMEN: U.S. and European diplomats want to avoid broad sanctions that would only anger average Iranians.
Patrick Clawson, an Iran watcher with the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, hears much more talk about freezing personal assets.
Mr. PATRICK CLAWSON (Reporter, Washington Institute for Near East Policy): There's a sense that comprehensive economic sanctions has been a very blunt instrument, not very effective at accomplishing its objective, and causing lots of collateral damage. So the strong preference is for more targeted sanctions that hit at a country's leaders.
KELEMEN: Clawson says, while Iran's president may be making statements that isolate him, most Iranians do care about what the outside world thinks of them and don't want to be seen as international outcasts.
Mr. CLAWSON: Most Iranians and most Iranian leaders seem not to want to be isolated. So that diplomatic isolation still offers pretty decent prospects.
KELEMEN: This slow moving diplomacy is a change in approach for the Bush administration, and a wise one, according to Perkovich of the Carnegie Endowment.
Mr. PERKOVICH: There's a recognition, perhaps informed by the experience in Iraq, that we really can't do these things alone or with a coalition of the United Kingdom and a few others; that the way to get a country as strong as Iran, and remember, Iran is three times the size of Iraq, to change its policy is you have to have most of the world united behind you.
KELEMEN: And to build that consensus, U.S. and European diplomats have been globetrotting, visiting member countries of the IAEA Board of Governors before the February 2 meeting. U.S. diplomats have been traveling to India, Russia and China for instance, while the French are covering countries that have more difficult relations with Washington, Venezuela, and Cuba.
