Bosnia and Herzegovina Population: 3,875,723

Background | |
Bosnia and Herzegovina's declaration of sovereignty in October 1991 was followed by a declaration of independence from the former Yugoslavia on 3 March 1992 after a referendum boycotted by ethnic Serbs. The Bosnian Serbs - supported by neighboring Serbia and Montenegro - responded with armed resistance aimed at partitioning the republic along ethnic lines and joining Serb-held areas to form a "Greater Serbia." In March 1994, Bosniaks and Croats reduced the number of warring factions from three to two by signing an agreement creating a joint Bosniak/Croat Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. On 21 November 1995, in Dayton, Ohio, the warring parties initialed a peace agreement that brought to a halt three years of interethnic civil strife (the final agreement was signed in Paris on 14 December 1995). The Dayton Peace Accords retained Bosnia and Herzegovina's international boundaries and created a multi-ethnic and democratic government charged with conducting foreign, diplomatic, and fiscal policy. Also recognized was a second tier of government composed of two entities roughly equal in size: the Bosniak/Bosnian Croat Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Bosnian Serb-led Republika Srpska (RS). The Federation and RS governments are responsible for overseeing most government functions. Additionally, the Dayton Accords established the Office of the High Representative (OHR) to oversee the implementation of the civilian aspects of the agreement. The Peace Implementation Council (PIC) at its conference in Bonn in 1997 also gave the High Representative the authority to impose legislation and remove officials, the so-called "Bonn Powers." An original NATO-led international peacekeeping force (IFOR) of 60,000 troops assembled in 1995 was succeeded over time by a smaller, NATO-led Stabilization Force (SFOR). In 2004, European Union peacekeeping troops (EUFOR) replaced SFOR. Currently EUFOR deploys around 600 troops in theater in a policing capacity. |

Economy | |
Bosnia has a transitional economy with limited market reforms. The economy relies heavily on the export of metals as well as on remittances and foreign aid. A highly decentralized government hampers economic policy coordination and reform, while excessive bureaucracy and a segmented market discourage foreign investment. The interethnic warfare in Bosnia and Herzegovina caused production to plummet by 80% from 1992 to 1995 and unemployment to soar. With an uneasy peace in place, output recovered in 1996-99 but slowed in 2000-02 and picked up again during 2003-08, when GDP growth exceeded 5% per year. However, the country experienced a decline in GDP of nearly 3% in 2009 reflecting local effects of the global economic crisis. GDP has stagnated since then. Foreign banks, primarily from Austria and Italy, now control most of the banking sector. The konvertibilna marka (convertible mark or BAM) - the national currency introduced in 1998 - is pegged to the euro, and confidence in the currency and the banking sector has increased. Bosnia's private sector is growing, but foreign investment has dropped off sharply since 2007. Government spending, at roughly 50% of GDP, remains high because of redundant government offices at the state, entity and municipal level. Privatization of state enterprises has been slow, particularly in the Federation, where political division between ethnically-based political parties makes agreement on economic policy more difficult. High unemployment remains the most serious macroeconomic problem. Successful implementation of a value-added tax in 2006 provided a predictable source of revenue for the government and helped rein in gray-market activity. National-level statistics have also improved over time but a large share of economic activity remains unofficial and unrecorded. Bosnia and Herzegovina became a full member of the Central European Free Trade Agreement in September 2007. Bosnia and Herzegovina's top economic priorities are: acceleration of integration into the EU; strengthening the fiscal system; public administration reform; World Trade Organization (WTO) membership; and securing economic growth by fostering a dynamic, competitive private sector. In 2009, Bosnia and Herzegovina was granted an International Monetary Fund (IMF) stand-by arrangement, necessitated by sharply increased social spending and a fiscal crisis exacerbated by the global economic downturn. Disbursement of IMF aid was suspended in 2011 after a parliamentary deadlock left Bosnia without a state-level government for over a year. The IMF concluded a new stand-by arrangement with Bosnia in October 2012, with the first tranches paid in November and December 2012. | |

Huntsman steers GOP from 'fringe issues'
Former candidate says primaries drift from core values
One of the more moderate 2012 Republican primary contenders said Friday his party's presidential hopefuls should focus less on so-called "fringe issues" if they hope to garner support from a wide swath of Americans in general elections.
Jon Huntsman, speaking on CNN's "Starting Point," said too many of this cycle's GOP candidates were running for all the wrong reasons - meaning serious issues gave way to attention-grabbing position statements.
"No one anymore is willing to step into the arena," Huntsman said. "It's left to those who kind of do it in part because that's a way to make money perhaps. You know, little bit of entertainment value. There may not be anything else to do."
Those statements reflect sentiments Huntsman made in a Huffington Post article earlier this week, when he said of the GOP primary process "the barriers of entry to this game are pretty damn low."
The result of sub-par candidates is a lopsided focus on issues that don't reflect the core ideological thrust of the GOP.
"We kind of drift in areas where we take on fringe issues, and it gets us stuck in the alleyways of life that take our focus away from what is really important for the American people, and that is individual freedom and that is getting the budgets balanced so people can get on with their lives," Huntsman said.
The former Utah governor and U.S. ambassador to China dropped his presidential effort after coming in third in New Hampshire's primary. He had campaign heavily in the state, staking his entire bid on winning the first-in-the-nation primary.
After exiting the presidential field, Huntsman put some distance between himself and the Republican Party, including his decision not to attend the convention in Tampa because Republicans were not focused on a "bigger, bolder, more confident future for the United States - a future based on problem solving, inclusiveness, and a willingness to address the trust deficit, which is every bit as corrosive as our fiscal and economic deficits."
On Friday, Huntsman said those problems were still present, along with "structural issues" within the party that led to Mitt Romney's loss on November 6. The GOP assessment of the loss - termed an "autopsy" by Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus - is healthy, Huntsman said, adding he thought the conclusion should be reduced to a single sentence.
"That one statement ought to be: balance the budgets and get out of people's lives. And you ought to build the party around that because we have strong libertarian roots that go way back to the early days of the Republican Party."

When recycling automobiles, the focus to date has been on metals. However, current practice increasingly uses as much of the non-metallic content of the vehicle as possible. Suitability for recycling is a characteristic that is already being taken into account during design.
Even before recycling scrap, Audi tries to avoid producing it. For that reason, most of the components and raw materials are delivered by suppliers in re-usable packaging. 95 percent of all the scrap created during production is recycled. Furthermore, materials used in the car are marked so that clear identification at the beginning of the recycling process is made easier.

Three days had passed, and Gregg Berhalter was still a little surprised by what had taken place Friday afternoon.
After having made 44 appearances with the United States' men's national team, Berhalter sat inside the Upper 90 Club at Crew Stadium with the rest of the Crew's employees to watch the World Cup draw unfold live on television. And after seeing the Americans placed in the same group as Germany, Portugal and Ghana, Berhalter agreed with the perception that the draw did the country no favors.
The Blue Jackets have been decimated by injury. The Pittsburgh Penguins have been decimated by injury, too, but they have Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. That's tonight's game in 25 words.
Malkin used his power and speed to score in the second period, and Crosby was rewarded with a fortuitous bounce after driving the net, leading the Penguins to a 2-1 win in Consol Energy Center in front of 18,520.
The Blue Jackets could only scored in the final minute with goaltender Curtis McElhinney pulled for an extra skater.
Matt Calvert potted the goal off a Mark Letestu feed with 56.5 remaining, but that's as close as the Blue Jackets could get.
The game was a 60-minute crescendo. Sleepy, slowly waking ...
Dispatch prep writers Steve Blackledge and Mark Znidar wrap up the high-school football season, including a discussion of Hartley's run at a state title and speculation about coaching changes for next fall.
The Blue Jackets were able to demoralize the Minnesota Wild last Thursday. Certainly the Wild were emotionally and physically drained after a big win over Chicago the night before, but there was something about the way the Jackets played that forced the Wild to "check out" by the later stages of the second period.
It was attitudinal, Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards said, but it was also a small but significant tweak to the club's style of play, an approach that had slipped in recent weeks and ratcheted back into place through two hard days of practice.
"We're coming up the ice together now," Richards said. "Before we'd have one forechecker, and any NHL team is going to beat one fore-checker."
Against Minnesota – and, to a lesser extend the final two periods vs. Tampa Bay last Tuesday – the Jackets had two skaters pressuring the puck, and it resulted in the Wild coming unglued.
"We broke out of the zone fast," forward Nick Foligno said. ...
Undefeated after eight games, Ohio State is No.3 in the latest Associated Press poll of the top 25 college basketball teams, behind Arizona and Syracuse. The poll of media voters was released this afternoon.
The ranking is as high as the Buckeyes have been since they were No.3 before a loss at Duke early last season. They finished the season No.7 and reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament.
Wisconsin is No.4 and Michigan State No.5 in the poll. The only other Big Ten team ranked is Iowa at No.23.
The Buckeyes have two games at home in Value City Arena this week, against Bryant at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and North Dakota State at 8:15 p.m. Saturday.
Leading scorer Dominic Oduro has re-signed with the Crew.
Oduro, 28, came to the Crew during the 2013 offseason in exchange for Dilly Duka and the rights to Robbie Rogers. He responded with a career- and team-best 13 goals while shuffling between forward and the right midfield under two different coaches. Oduro was also the only Crew player to play in all 34 games, and he started each one. He entered the offseason without a contract and was at one point close to signing a deal to play in Greece but instead will return and play for Gregg Berhalter in 2014.

There is no such problem of course in the first seven songs in this selection, which were all written for piano although each in its way requires playing with ones orchestral ears switched on. They come from the Lieder und Gesänge of 1892, a volume that included nine early settings of texts from Des Knaben Wunderhorn, the massive collection of German folk-poetry gathered by the poets Achim von Arnim and Clemens von Brentano, which was to prove such a seminal influence in the development of Mahlers sound-world. It also included five separate songs to other texts, but it is clear even from these that Mahler was already leaning towards an alfresco, folkloric context for his music. This is most obvious in the Ländler-like Hans und Grete (2) (the earliest of Mahlers songs that he felt worthy of publication, it originally appeared as Maitanz im Grünen) but is also audible in the chirruping lark and humming bees of Frühlingsmorgen (1), a song that seems always on the verge of breaking into a full-blooded dance, but finally gives up, out of consideration for the sleeping sweetheart.
The collection also included two songs from Don Juan by Tirsis de Molina which both suggest incidental music. Phantasie (3), the one recorded here, instructs the pianist to imitate the sound of a harp. Its plangent melody and verbal repetitions such as Im Herzen! Im Herzen! also suggest a folksong, and though the text may be Spanish in origin, the character of deep melancholy and personal identification there is no doubt that the singers own heart has been caught like many others in the fishergirls net was one that Mahler was to exploit with increasing success throughout his composing career. It finds its most familiar expression in the many Knaben Wunderhorn songs in which, as in Zu Strassburg auf der Schanz (5), a young soldier finds himself on the way to the scaffold or the firing-squad for an unidentified crime. Here his crime is desertion, or at least going absent without leave, and the muffled drums and tight military rhythms that represent his captivity are in eloquent contrast to the freedom inherent in the alphorn, whose nostalgic call had caused him to desert his post in the first place. (Mahler directs the introduction to be played Wie eine Schalmei like a shawm.)
A similar, grief-stricken tread pervades Nicht Wiedersehen! (6), which describes the situation, common to many folksong traditions, where a lover returns from a journey to find his sweetheart has died in his absence. Here again the mature Mahler is foreshadowed, in the poignant major-minor shifts and melody in parallel thirds as well as the dissonant and agonized repetitions of Ade!. Ablösung im Sommer (4) is a deft example of the comic, rustic side of the Wunderhorn songs, in which the handover from cuckoo to nightingale is characterized in a shift from naïve slapstick to the sublimely lyrical in the same manner as in the comic singing-competition of Lob des hohen Verstandes in the later collection. As for the final song, Scheiden und Meiden (7), the breezy cheerfulness of its bright hobby-horse rhythms is offset, as so often in these poems, by a darker thread, as in the third stanza (Mahler doesnt set the second stanza), where the theme of parting brings a reference to infant mortality (Es scheidet das Kind wohl in der Wieg).
Mahler himself wrote the texts for Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen, modelling them on the style of the Wunderhorn poems. Thus the journeying apprentice of the title is a stock character whose tale of unrequited love is drawn in simple imagery that also recalls Schuberts Müller cycles (as in the reference to his sweethearts blue eyes, or the linden-tree beneath whose branches he finally finds peace). Incidentally, the customary English translation, Songs of a Wayfarer, is somewhat misleading, suggesting as it does a generalized traveller, rather than a member of a traditionally itinerant workforce what in English used to be known as a journeyman.
In the first song, Wenn mein Schatz Hochzeit macht (8), the rustic setting is immediately audible in the asymmetrical piping of the wedding dance and in the calling of the birds, clearly differentiated from the sustained sonorities of the lovers lament, which begins by withdrawing into itself, but then cannot help opening up again in widely arching phrases expressive of his grief. In Ging heut morgen übers Feld (9) which Mahler reused substantially in the First Symphony he shakes off the gloom, under the influence of a bright summer morning. In the piano part all is burgeoning nature and bright fanfares of birdsong; only at the end does the contrast with his own lost happiness become too much for him.
Ich hab ein glühend Messer (10) is the storm at the heart of the cycle, its emotional turmoil expressed in an exceptional vocal range from low D to high G and searing chromatics over stark open fifths in the bass. In the quiet central section Wenn ich in dem Himmel seh, devotees of Schubert would not need Mahlers own orchestration to recognize the two horns that represent the vision of two blue eyes. But the sepulchral E flat minor of the postlude, with its scurrying triplets, is pure Mahler. The final song, Die zwei blauen Augen von meinem Schatz (11), begins as a funeral march, but ends as a vision of emotional sublimation and release, the E minor of the opening yielding to an almost seraphic F major melody whose triadic contours are designed to release all the possible harmonic overtones of the accompanying pedal-point in the piano. By the end the funeral march has become a distant echo, suggesting a comparable emotional distancing of the singer from his grief.
In February 1901, under the extreme pressure of overwork, Mahler collapsed with a severe haemorrhoidal haemorrage, during which he was convinced that my last hour had come. The event was to prove a turning point: during the following summer vacation, he composed seven Rückert songs three of the Kindertotenlieder and four of what would become known as the cycle of Rückert-Lieder.
Friedrich Rückert had been briefly set by Schubert in three songs, one of which, Dass sie hier gewesen, looks forward in its adventurous harmonic colouring to the perfumed atmosphere of Mahler and Strauss. He was also a favourite poet of Robert and Clara Schumann Claras setting of Liebst du um Schönheit stands up well to comparison with Mahlers more well-known version. In Mahlers case, the refined sensitivity of Rückerts poetry, with its intricate, rather contrived rhyme schemes derived from Persian and Turkish models, chimed with a newly refined vein in his own composition. Thus songs like Ich atmet einen linden Duft (12) and Blicke mir nicht in die Lieder (14) are examples of the delicate web-like texture that was to become a mark of Mahlers late style, even when writing for full orchestra.
Mahlers personal identification with Rückert was in any case profound. When he wrote Only when I experience do I compose, and only when I compose do I experience he was echoing Rückerts own statement that I never think without poetizing and never poetize without thinking. And in these songs he has finally abandoned the stock characters of the Wunderhorn, with their generalized if intense emotional expression, for a poetic world that could express his own feelings with uncanny accuracy and sensitivity. Thus of Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen (16), he wrote It is my very self, and there is no doubt that in this song he created if not his all-out masterpiece, certainly one of the greatest and most profoundly spiritual songs in the German language. The mood of the song is one of rapt withdrawal from the concerns of the world one may imagine how the middle-aged symphonic composer and director of the Vienna State Opera must often have longed for such a retreat and its melodic line is woven from the same pentatonic figures as Ich atmet einen linden Duft. It is an expression of serene happiness that seems to be inherent in its implied orientalism, later to be echoed of course in the Chinese-based songs of his great orchestral song cycle/symphony Das Lied von der Erde.
We have noted already that only these four songs of the set were composed in the summer of 1901. The fifth song has a curious and revealing history, which came to light only decades afterwards with the publication of Almas diary. At the time of their marriage in 1901 both Alma and Mahler had been recently involved in other relationships; she passionately with the composer Zemlinsky, he with the soprano Anna von Mildenburg. Although Mahler indicated that this relationship was now over, it still rankled with his twenty-two-year-old wife, who tried to have Mildenburg banned from the house. When Mahler insisted on her making a final visit in 1902, Alma defused the situation by turning it into a musical occasion, at which Mildenburg sang several passages from Wagners Siegfried. That summer, Mahler presented Alma with a score of Siegfried between the pages of which was the manuscript of Liebst du um Schönheit (13). It was both a peace offering and a gentle admonition. Love me not for beauty (Alma made no secret of her muted passion for Mahler), nor for youth (he was nearly twenty years older than she), nor for riches (his financial situation was a cause of anxiety if not acrimony to them both). Love me for loves sake, at which point the songs hitherto simple utterance harking back to an earlier, Schumannesque style is trans-formed by harmony of ineffable tenderness. Significantly, the final word immerdar (evermore) is repeated for emphasis, in a high, arching phrase whose expression is intensified by the descanting right hand of the piano. If Mahler here lays bare his innermost feelings, it is possible that the sighing chromatics of the postlude reveal a premonition of Almas subsequent infidelity.
Although the first three songs of Kindertotenlieder were composed in the same summer of 1901, with the last two following in 1904, their overall structure is unified by their key sequence. Thus the bleak D minor of the first song (17) (only partially warmed into the major by the rising sun) returns in the storm surely as much symbolic as real of the finale, a storm that resolves into the D major of the final section. In the three intervening songs, Mahler underlines the shifting emotional field of the poems as they seek for understanding and consolation. Nun seh ich wohl, warum so dunkle Flammen (18), in deciphering the message of the childrens eyes, is full of lingering appoggiaturas (O Augen!) and poignant changes of key. Wenn dein Mütterlein (19) suggests a funeral march with Bachian overtones, but on an intimate scale that befits the domestic moment it recalls. Both these songs are in C minor. The E flat major of Oft denk ich, sie sind nur ausgegangen (20) by contrast has an open-air feel to it, with a lilting melody in sixths and warmer harmonies the sidestep to G flat major on Bald werden sie wieder nach Hause gelangen! is especially touching.
The final song, In diesem Wetter, in diesem Braus (21), returns to D minor in a surging, raging tempest that is a challenge to an orchestra, never mind a pianist; significantly, the moment at which it blows itself out is signalled by the return of two little notes high above the stave, which had last been heard at the end of the first song. There follows a sublime apotheosis which, having first woven a celestial lullaby for the children, returns to earth in a long, consoling postlude for those left behind.
Sentimental tradition often ascribes the composition of Kindertotenlieder to a premonition on Mahlers part of the tragic death of his own daughter in 1907. But he was already well acquainted with infant mortality, no fewer than eight of his siblings having died in childhood. And in his settings these poems, with their striking images of light and darkness, of regret and hope, of grief and consolation, found their perfect musical expression.

After spending the weekend considering replacements for retiring Sen. Jim DeMint, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley announced Monday that she will not appoint a "placeholder" senator who will hold the office until a special election is held in 2014.
"As I continue to consider the impending U.S. Senate vacancy, many have discussed the possibility of a 'placeholder' appointee who would pledge to serve for only two years and not seek election to the seat in 2014," Haley said in a statement released by her office. "While there are some good arguments in favor of that approach, I believe the better case is against it."
DeMint announced last week that he is resigning his seat to take over the conservative Heritage Foundation in Washington.
Under state law, it's now Haley's duty to name a replacement for the tea party icon. She has promised to act quickly.
National conservatives have urged her to appoint Rep. Tim Scott, an African-American congressman from the Charleston area who was elected to Congress in 2010 on a tea party wave. He and other members of the state's congressional delegation are close to DeMint.
But Haley had also mulled the idea of naming an elder GOP statesman from South Carolina - someone like former state Attorney General Henry McMaster or former Ambassador David Wilkins - to fill out the remainder of DeMint's term.
She ruled out that option Monday.
"I do not want to tie the next U.S. senator from South Carolina's hands regarding future office," Haley said. "I do not want to deprive our state's citizens of the chance to render their judgment on the appointee's performance by way of their vote. Most importantly, while I am an avid supporter of term limits, I do not want the effectiveness of our state's new U.S. senator to be undermined by the fact that he or she will automatically be leaving the office such a very short time after assuming it.
"I believe South Carolina will be best served by a U.S. Senator who will work hard day in and day out, and put him or herself before the voters at the soonest possible time. Accordingly, I reject the option of a 'placeholder.'"
One clue she might pick Scott: Haley has scheduled a press conference tomorrow at noon in the congressman's hometown of North Charleston. She will talk to reporters after touring a Boeing plant there.

American Art Achilles among the Daughters of Lycomedes Made in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, North and Central Americac. 1758-64 Henry Benbridge, American, 1743 - 1812 Oil on canvas * Gallery 105, American Art, first floor (Sherrerd Gallery) 1990-88-1 Purchased with the J. Stogdell Stokes Fund, the Edith H. Bell Fund, and the Katharine Levin Farrell Fund, 1990 |
LabelHenry Benbridge's scene, which derives from the Greek epic tradition on the Trojan War, is one of the most baroque compositions painted in the Delaware Valley during the eighteenth century. The painting is a copy, in reverse, of a tapestry design by Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish, 1577-1640). In the painting, Achilles has been disguised as a woman and hidden among the daughters of King Lycomedes at the behest of his mother, who knows that he is fated to die if he goes to Troy. Achilles betrays himself by showing too much interest in a helmet and becomes one of Greece's great warriors.* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons.

Jan Marini Customer Reviews
Jan Marini Bioglycolic Bioclear Cream - The best for mature women who want a moist look but need oil free moisturizer.
Jan Marini C-ESTA Cream - I have been using this cream for about one year now. I usually apply this at night before I use their Transformation Cream. As soon as I apply it, there is a fast absorption and I my skin immediately has a tingle, and I can see how it has already started to work. My pores look smaller and my skin looks healthier. I wouldn't be without it!
Jan Marini Factor A Plus Mask - This mask is awesome. It goes on really thin but it really works at discoloration and any blemishes you might have. Be sure to put some moisture on after or it can dry out skin.
Jan Marini Age Intervention Face Cream - I have used all the high-end products, but by far Jan Marini Age Intervention is the best. I am 59 and it takes care of all of my skin problems, wrinkles, redness, texture. Great products!
Jan Marini Antioxidant Face Protectant SPF 33 - This is an excellent product. Does not make my oily skin greasy. Blends in well. Nice smell. Not like other sunscreens that leave a white chalky look. I will continue to use this.
Jan Marini Bioglycolic Bioclear Cream - This product is WONDERFUL! It smoothes my skin, and helps prevent blemishes and spots. The container (tub) is easy to use, and it allows the consumer to get every last bit of product out of it. Plus, it only takes a thin layer, so it lasts a long time. I love this product. I would and have recommended it. Jan Marini is wonderful!
