Now the former assistant director of the FBI's Los Angeles field office Richard Garcia is -- Richard good afternoon thank you.
Good afternoon their actions.
You know it -- it's entirely possible everything is possible it's possible they're just such good buddies his first thought was well I got to help my friend.
But this is the same person who knew then -- Then his friend had murdered people and -- people -- terrorized the nation that it it just not the kind of decision a man of opposite mine would make.
Well that's truly he's really don't know that understand.
Technically the maturity and individual organize eagerness of the individual what actually is going to be team.
Results of their actions and I'm sure that now after sitting in jail and this complaint in file.
-- after they're going to be actually really realize and to what extent -- problems that we're going to be now with the federal government.
I guess what you don't wanna do initially is overcharged.
You charge what you need to charge some get the process go just like the holding charge that was this violation about which Catherine's report.
Well when you have a person of interest and such and you -- to talk to them you do try to check to see if there's an outstanding warrants or other things that might be able to.
Have you detain individuals were two reasons one to prevent a person from a good knowledge that you might be interest and and they've taken quite matured become fugitive.
-- -- you have some place where you can talk to them regularly and determine what extent that human correct information out of them returned the evidence case.
That the the allegation in India affidavit on page two.
-- Tangible objects belong to -- and I have.
It's been mainly a laptop computer and backpack containing fireworks.
And win the intent to impede obstruct an influence the criminal investigation.
Of the of the marathon bombings that goes on to say that another the second of the three suspects knowingly and willfully made material false misstatements.
To federal law enforcement investigators during a terrorism investigation certain these are extremely.
Serious charges.
Yes they are and the extent of the complaint and the their intentions was but it seems to be very.
Content to what you're doing have not just something.
So what -- do this you know what I don't know what's gonna happen they have some thoughts from.
This -- -- if I'm investigators.
I wanna know.
What they knew in advance and I wanna know how they made this decision you you can put this off on youth youthful night to today if you want to.
But that that nineteen year -- old enough to go to war for this nation.
And and that nineteen year old is alone in college and supposed to be able to make decisions for him himself.
And he did and he made a decision.
That allowed these two terrorists to go back and murder a police officer after that and who the hell knows what would happen if they could have done what they want it.
I'm guessing that our government is gonna throw the book at these people as hard and as far as it -- Well the evidence that's it builds up the government will actually go after him for everything they can.
And if you look at that to the point the backpacks one thing but taking the laptop computer and destroying that.
Nowadays the young individuals they're going to school and the people -- -- up live -- electronic world they know the value of data they know the value of hard drives and computers and however this can -- there.
-- taking that out there that you showed more of the culpability what they're actually trying to do.

Wonderful short-game facilities; One of North America's most complete short-game practice areas; 60% of all your shots are from 50 yards and in, and golfers have very little chance to practice actual, on-course conditions for these important scoring shots, so we decided to build this outstanding addition, where you can practice almost every scoring shot youll find on the course. One of Torontos best sports columnists called it a masterpiece. Unquestionably the road to the most rapid improvement and lowering your handicap is short-game practice!. Our short-game practice was constructed with design ideas from two world-class Golf Course Architects, one is among Canada's finest, and the second was Chief Designer for Jack Nicklaus Golf Design for 6 years. It was shaped by one of the finest golf course finishers in the business. When you see it, you will probably think it' has the look of a really nice golf course. It's a perfect place to spend an afternoon on your short game. You'll be able to practice virtually every shot from 40 yards and in that you would ever encounter on a golf course. 11 acres in size.... lots of room, without that crowded feeling 8 'Bent-grass' greens, , including a separate 7000 sq. ft. putting green, with swales and subtle rolls, separate 5000 sq. ft. bunker practice green, with 3 large 'Ohio sand' bunkers, with the sand level in each a different level from the putting surface separate 2000 sq. ft. chipping green with all the swales, berms, collars, and grass conditions that you'll find when your approach shot misses the green. Separate 5,000 sq. ft., contoured pitching green, with an opportunity to practice every type of approach shot from 50 yards out from all directions separate 1500 sq. ft. "lob wedge" pitching green for those short 'finesse' shots we have several areas of rough - might as well make it really killer A 3-hole Par-3 course, included with your short-game entrance, as long as it isn't in use for instruction. All of our tees, greens, and short-game area has been equipped with an automatic irrigation system Our short-game facility is available on a per-use basis, (no membership required), or on a money-saving membership plan

Google, China, and 'strategic ethics'
I've seen quite a lot of comment, but not much analysis, of Google's decision to face down China. The comment says (a) it's a principled stand on human rights; (b) a response to poor business performance; (c) a lack of confidence in the prospects for the Chinese economy; (d) a risk management decision to underline its commitment to the integrity of the 'internet cloud' in the face of Chinese hacking. My take is that it's a belated realisation that international businesses can no longer partition the world – and that oft-cited ethical concerns about its role in China were increasingly likely to damage more compelling business opportunities elsewhere.
Working on the moon
Readers will know that I come back to the subject of space from time to time. Having seen Duncan Jones' science fiction film Moon this weekend, it's as good reason as any for a return visit – while trying to avoid any spoilers. As a film, it should be said, there's a lot to like; an intriguing story, well told, and the production design is dazzling. It pays its respects to other space films, but is, unmistakably, a film of the 'noughties'. As a piece of futures (it's set in the mid-2020s) the on-board computer, with more than a nod to HAL and Dark Star, is like the human resources department of a global company – sometimes solicitous and caring, sometimes trying to enforce the bottom line – and the task the workers are engaged in is to harvest energy.
The return of political economy
The first time I saw an article headed "State Capitalism and the Crisis" in McKinsey Quarterly (free, but registration required) I thought I had slipped into an alternate reality. But even when I pinched myself it was still there. In it, the political risk analyst Ian Bremmer argues that one of the results of the financial crisis is a resurgence of political economy (although he doesn't use the phrase). Markets are now far more influenced by national politically influenced decisions than at any time in the last thirty years; this is not a temporary phase but a permanent shift; and as a result the 'globalised markets' paradigm is no longer the dominant model, even if some politicians and corporations haven't caught up with this yet.
America's 2025
The National Intelligence Council's four-yearly report to the incoming President is worth noting this time around because it appears to represent such a sharp shift in world view in such a short time. Suddenly, the "official" view of the world projected by the NIC, which fronts for America's multiplicity of intelligence agencies, is projecting a world of energy scarcity and resource shortages along with challenges to America's global leadership. Such a sharp shift, in fact, that it makes you wonder if there's a different "Phoenix" version which would have been pulled out of the drawer had McCain won the election.
China's political instability
Those of us who have been sceptical of China's ability to maintain its heroic rates of economic growth normally look at environmental issues, or its financial infrastructure (a theme of Will Hutton's), or burgeoning inequality. Recent reports suggest that the last of these is causing political instability.
Energy prices and the decline of globalisation
The idea that the globalising wave of the last quarter of a century was mostly built on cheap energy and easy money is one that we're now getting the opportunity to test. So far, the hypothesis is holding up. In particular, according to a story in this week's Daily Telegraph, high energy costs seem to be having a significant impact on China's low-cost manufacturing sectors. At the same time, Paul Krugman has been niggling away at the underlying economics. After all, as the French are supposed to say: That's all very well in practice, but how does it look in theory?
500-year trade cycles
I blogged at the start of the month on Martin Jacques' observation on the extent to which China was now more significant than the US in the politics of Asia in all aspects other than military. Since then, I've noticed a post on the IFTF blog which argued that as China and India become the dominant trading partners across Africa and Asia that we are reverting to the trading patterns seen before European colonisation.
China rising – politics follows economics
The Guardian filled its G2 supplement on 2nd January by asking contributors to reflect on the decade so far, probably so its sub-editors could recover on New Year's Day. Most of the comment was as you'd expect. But Martin Jacques' brief comments on China's burgeoning political influence caught something deeper – and suggested that the West had missed much of it because it had been distracted by the Middle East.

Health Insurance Claim Denials: Fighting Back
Reader Comments
Wow, you have certainly been through the mill on this one and it sounds like everyone who has their ultrasound through your doctor's office for pregnancy is treated the same way. There has to be a better way both to have the procedure at least partially covered as well as informing the patient right up front what costs are ahead of them. There needs to be a better method of communication. The person with whom you start the billing conversation should take ownership of the issue and be the point of contact until the issue is resolved to the satisfaction of the patient rather than sending the patient all over the place to try to resolve on their own. Great article. I am sorry you had to go through all of this.
I understand your position regarding that you feel that your doctor should have offered you a choice between a standard U/S and the more complex one, but I took a medical law class a few years at Barry University, and learned this.
The presumtion under medical law is that when you present yourself before a doctor or hospital, it is presumed that you desire the best treatment that medicine has to offer, unless you indicate otherwise at the begining of the medical relationship. If the patient desires to save money, the patient has the responsibility to state so, if not, the doctor has the responsibility to provide the BEST medical care that he or she knows how to deliver.
As a patient, it sucks not to know this responsibility, but it is infact, the way the law, or least legal principle, works.
I came up with this in a google search. I am currently in two different appeals with close to $70K (perhaps more) of costs from Aetna. In my opinion they are looking at the financial health of their company rather than the health of my family.
Aetna is like organized crime! When a patient really needs a procedure no go!
THese guys need to be scrutinized and boycotted
Our national association of over 80 advocates across the United States are specialized in assisting consumers in getting a true & accurate fair & reasonable medical bill. We have been assisting consumers for over 15 years and have grown tremendously this past year alone. With the downfall of the economy, and all the media attention we have received consumers are educated on the services our advocates provide and turning to us to reduce their medical bills. If you think about it, reducing the erroneous charges on a doctor/hospital bill for an insured consumer helps both the consumer on receiving a true & accurate bill and reimbursing the insurance for over payments made that they fail to see, in the long run would help in the major increase of insurance premiums. Also with regards to assisting Corporate America, assisting a Self Insured Corporation, TPA and Insurance Companies; our advocates would again stop the erroneous charges before the insurance pays, TPA's send for payment and would reduce the annual payout for Self Insured Corporation so they would be able to continue offering insurance. Just wanted to give my opinion in regards to the Healthcare Reform and let people know that if we can stop all the above, it will make a difference. Check out our website.
what specific procedurees have been denied, and for what reason. Are insurance companies maximizing their profits at patient expense, or are they truly concerned abnout the welfare of the patient?
I loved reading everyone's "NIGHTMARE STORIES" I have more on my website www.keymedicalbillconsultants.com.
If you need help fighting the system I am your medical billing specialist. The comment that was made about hiring a health claim professional "they are pitbulls" really sums it up!
My best to all! You don't have to fight the system alone!
This article is a great example of why we need to understand and take control of our health insurance. There are many things that one can do to reduce their health care costs. But, most importantly, they need to be active in their health care and take an active role in ensuring their insurance pays for their care.
www.yourmedicalbills.com provides many different tips that anyone can use to help control their costs.
You can also hire a claims assistance professional to take control of your medical bills. These individuals are like pit bulls when dealing with your insurance companies. They can let you focus on your health while they focus on your medical bills.
There is real HELP on the way, H1N1Warrior.com.
To help your neighbor is truly a way to help ourselves.
It's time to put your faith where your life is.
The H1N1 virus will bring us together, and then we will have the power to cast it out.
May GOD bless your choice.
Yes, we need health care, but a government option that looks like Medicare isn't feasible. Not doing anything isn't the answer either. There is also the problem with giving all the cheapest care to seniors and kids, which by the way isn't so cheap for the tax payer or the senior. Sorry, to sound so cruel, but Medicade doesn't pay for a 24 year old with asthma who has no job or a miniumum wage job. Soon there will be more seniors on Medicare then there will be people to pay for it. I'm not saying pull the plug on grandma, because I don't think that's right either. Insurance companies do need to stop nit-picking with paying claims and dropping people when they need it the most. I'm all for raking them over the coals for this. There is not a perfect answer to this problem, but one thing for sure I do know: without the American people taking responsibility for their own health by diet and excercise, health care is a bottomless pit. If most of us lost weight, ate right and excercised we would have enough health care dollars to take care of everbody, otherwise this will never work.

How many employees can be loaded into a Payroll?
5 July 2011 #
hi guys, i seriously reckon you need to get serious with payroll, forget the addons they are simply too expensive. surely getting payroll the calculates tax, super and leave needs to be on the cards when sassu and myob live have these features. love xero but need payroll!
16 July 2011 #
I would like to use payroll on xero, could some one help me to set up etc.
Hi Bhaskar if you care to send me your contact details via email I would welcome the opportunity to assist you with setting up Xero Payroll. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Regards Gillian
5 August 2011 #
Totally agree with Brandon. Love Xero but at the moment I may as well stick with my excel version of payroll.
11 August 2011 #
Definitely need to get leave accruals, automatic tax calcs, etc up and running. I'd also like to see charge rates & timesheeting included to support the pay/bill models for subcontracting scenarios.
25 August 2011 #
Does Payroll automatically calculate the PAYE tax for each employee and manage employee holiday and sick day accruals? Also – with this does it calculate how much someone is owed upon leaving the company? If not, are these scheduled to be included in development at some point soon? Cheers.
I so agree, I would love it if xero Payroll looked after PAYE calculations and leave/sick day accruals. It would be the only business software I would need. Thanks
27 August 2011 #
PAYE Calculations – Yes please!
27 October 2011 #
In my experience, any small business with just a few employees should use a Payroll Service to deal with the complete wages headache. They only cost around £5 per employee per month, and will save you hours if not days of work. Why do it yourself? You just email them who is to be paid what and when and they do it all.
Then they email you a report, and all you have to do is use the payroll functions in Xero to enter the figures.
The legislation and rules are just so complex and fast changing these days, that I think I would have to be employing 100 employees before I would consider trying to do it in house.
2 January 2012 #
Hi There,
Can I set a pay run for my subcontractors , they get a regular payments every 2 weeks for contracted jobs . They work on ABN , help please?
@Matt – I've chatted to someone in our Customer Care team in Australia – far more knowledgeable than me on this and here's what I can report:
As subcontractors are recognized as running their own business, payments to them must be separated from wages paid to employees as they're not considered employees.
To do this in Xero you'll need to create a new expense account called Subcontractors and enter Accounts Payable invoices coded to this account. Record payments from the bank account either on each invoice or from the bank statement line during bank reconciliation.
At the end of the financial year when you need to provide a summary of payments to contractors you can run the Contact Transactions Report.
I hope this is relevant for your scenario. Due to laws in Australia specifically addressing the situation where a subcontractor is considered an employee, we recommend you talk to your accountant or financial advisor to make sure you're recording this right – unless any of them are reading these comments and want to jump in!
23 February 2012 #
How do you deduct employee loan repayments, payable to the Company ? Post Tax deductions would be the answer, but can't seem to set it up?
Any ideas?
2 March 2012 #
I seriously agree with many of the comments above. Come on Xero, surely it can't be that hard to have the payroll function calculate tax and leave? All of it is available from the IRD online so how hard would it be to incorporate that into the Xero product?
Don't put it in the "too hard" basket, don't make us purchase expensive add-ons for just a few employees. PLEASE!
6 March 2012 #
I just completed my first payrole and need help. I deducted $140 for boots however this created a payable invoice PR0001. The boots were paid in another invoice already reconciled on an account payment previously, how do I reconcile now?
19 March 2012 #
Just reading some of the questions and don't know if the answer is there or not, but can the payroll work out PAYE and the amount of Holidays owing???. Does it cost extra to have your payroll?? Surely as we are paying for the accounting system payroll should be included. We only have 2 Employee so I really don't want extra cost on a small business.
1 April 2012 #
Payroll is just the next step I need to address on Xero. Is this setup to address NZ IRD requirements? Also do the payments still have to be physically made through the bank or can it be done remotely via XERO?
I'd like to add my vote for having a full UK payroll function added to Xero asap please. Are there any plans for this?
19 April 2012 #
Hi Guys,
c'mon it's crazy & frustrating not having integrated, fully functional payroll in Xero – all the other main players do; Sage, QuickBooks, etc… when can we expect it for the UK pls?
23 May 2012 #
I am looking at the Xero software to substitute for MYOB. You commented on 19 March that the Payroll will be incorporated into the Xero business subscriptions by 1 July. Will that include the tax calculations etc? Is it already available?
11 September 2012 #
When do you think the rollout for the integrated payroll with tax and leave calculations will be available to NZ? Is Australia's rollout a trial or is it up and running yet? Being neighbouring countries, it would be fantastic if we could also access it. We have 3 employees and the expensive payroll add-ons are really not worth it.
19 December 2012 #
Payroll in the US would be wonderful…any timeline on that? The way our gov't is adding rules, it requires to have one employee to administer payroll for every employee working. Intuit and Sage are absolutely awful to use….help!
26 January 2013 #
Looking forward to payroll with UK PAYE tax calculations included. Can't really see the point otherwise
Any update on a fully integrated UK payroll solution that would include PAYE, statutory maternity/paternity payments, etc.?
10 April 2013 #
hi, just wanting to know how you go about purchasing an add-on to calculate PAYE etc
15 May 2013 #
When are you and Bankwest Australia going to connect and allow aba file upload? I know it's Bankwest, but can't you guys do a bit of lobbying?
11 July 2013 #
We are using mob accounting plus to do our invoicing and payroll.
Can we import all our details into Zero or have to start from scratch?
Can we perform our fortnightly pays or is that an add on?
Thanks Peter
2 August 2013 #
I don't understand why the ABA upload does not work with Bankwest. This is starting to really impact us. @Luke is lobbying what's required? afterall aba is a standard format right?
24 August 2013 #
I don't know if there's voice over but I suppose there is. I'm hard of hearing and I'm sure there are others like me too who want to use Xero.
SUGGESTION: please add subtitles to the videos. Thank you so much!
16 September 2013 #
Hi I am just curious if Xero is going to add more sophisticated way to process invoices by Subcontractors like it's done on Freshbooks. Freshbooks have awesome feature when it comes to invoicing (from the Contractor side) where he becomes linked to the company he is being contracted by and can simply created invoices that automatically appear on the other end. Is Xero planning something like this in the future?
18 September 2013 #
Hi, if your subcontractor has Xero as well you can achieve this by sending them an invite for Xero to Xero. Access this under settings, general settings, connect, Xero to Xero. Then when they create an invoice it will come into your Xero account as a Draft for you to code and approve. Hope this helps.
9 November 2013 #
I am new to to xero, want to import opening balances of all the accounts as on 31 Oct to xero, how ?

Arik Einstein – Lost and Found in Translation
Along with the heart-felt tributes to Arik Einstein, there has been a fascinating undercurrent of emotional hoarding on the part of some Israelis. Assuming that no one outside of Israel has ever heard of Arik Einstein or any of his songs, they then make a further assumption that it is their job to explain what he and his music meant. Yet after this double-assumption, everything closes down. Writes Israeli-born Liel Leibovitz: "I have nothing to say to you about Arik Einstein. I'm sorry to sound like a prick, but you wouldn't get it." It's an extreme comment, but sums up a prevailing sentiment. Those non-Israelis, they won't get it.
There is something rather beautiful and also sad about this kind of response. The character and the music of Arik Einstein made its impact in the way the best of art should: Through our hearts. His music touched millions, each of whom received it as if created for them alone. This is the paradoxical magic of art. As a result, when feeling his loss, it is a personal emotional loss that – when we are sad – we sometimes fight to "own". "You wouldn't get it," is a perfect way to maintain the purity and unique authenticity of my pain. To Full Post
Chanukah, cynicism and belief
A few years ago I was the counselor for a group of immigrant students in Israel. The first activity that I was asked to run out was on Chanukah. My initial reaction was to use every means to try and avoid the task, because as far as I'm concerned the educational function of Chanukah as a festival ended after elementary school. Dreidels, Chanukah menorahs, jelly doughnuts, Chanukah gelt … you grow out of it after you lose your milk teeth, in my opinion. Add to that, from the perspective of my twenty-three years, I was convinced that if I had not experienced any miracles personally, there were no such things. To Full Post
Five Thoughts about Chanukah
1. Positive Thinking
Our blogger Dikla Rivlin-Katz believes that the main message of Chanuka is about positive thinking. "If I had been Judah the Maccabee, I wouldn't have even tried to light the menorah with oil left for only one day. It wouldn't have occurred to me even to try…" For more, click here.
2. Iran and Chanukah
The many contradicting responses to the breakthrough/deal/capitulation over Iran's nuclear capabilities sometimes seem like more of a portrait of the writers' states of mind, rather than cold analysis. The Chanukiah itself has much to teach us of this battle between optimism and pessimism. For more, click here.
3. What if Chanuka were in May?
Much has been made of Chanukah's meeting with Thanksgiving. But what if Chanukah were by some freak hole in the cosmos to happen in May? Then we'd find an even more fruitful comparison – between Chanukah and Yom Ha'atzmaut. Both festivals are celebrated outside and inside of Israel, and both mark a historical event that took place in the land of Israel. One difference is that while Chanukah has found harmonious and inspiring rituals that engage the family home and the community, Yom Ha'atzmaut continues to find itself struggling for a consistent place at our hearth. For more on comparisons between Yom Ha'atzmaut and Jewish holidays, click here.
4. Whose side are you on?
Whose side would you take? It's clear that in a struggle between darkness and light, we're on the side of sunshine. But in our daily life, to what extent are we on the side of a proud, ideological, and sometimes violent form of cultural separatism? Or on the other hand, how often do we find ourselves supporting an inclusive, flexible and non-partisan approach to cultural integration? With that in mind, let's take another look at the ideology and strategies of the Maccabees on the one hand and the Hellenists on the other…
5. The latkes have it
The latkes (levivot) have it. As we mix and grate, fry and chew, we know in our hearts that the flavors are in the complexity. Chanukah mixes the pure and the impure, the war and the miracle, the doing and the hoping, with enough and never enough. If for no other reason, this might define it as perhaps the ultimate Israeli festival.
Iran and Chanukah
So while I always get confused about whether we light the Chanukiah from the right or from the left, I never get confused about the cumulative effect. First night is only one candle, second night is two candles, and the final night is the whole dark-banishing lot.
This morning, trying to get my head round the Iran Breakthrough/Deal/Compromise/Capitulation, I was reminded of the old argument about which order we should light the Chanukiah.
Bet Shammai, concerned for the correct and truthful representation of things, insisted that on the first night of Chanukah we should light all of the candles, reducing the number every night until the final night only one candle should be lit. This is in correct and proper representation of the amount of light in the day, which in December diminishes every day. Just as light is falling in the world, so should it decline in the house.
Bet Hillel just could not accept this reasoning. However rational and true, the Shammai ruling was just too depressing. I often like to think that Hillel appreciated the aesthetic side of things: Increasing the light daily is just prettier and lifts the soul. Bringing light to banish the darkness gives us hope.
So here we are on the cusp of Chanukah, with the results of the Geneva talks gradually being assessed and judged. Not being a nuclear physicist nor an international statesman myself, I find myself switching between columnists like one might switch between Shammai and Hillel. Sometimes I see clearly we are heading towards darkness. Sometimes towards the light.
And maybe this Chanukah, as we light ourselves a symbol of increasing optimism in defiance of the reality outside, I might also pray for a miracle.
5 things we learned during the Jewish "Assemblies" week
Jerusalem has been a-popping with assemblies and conferences. The Assembly of the Jewish Agency for Israel overlapped with the General Assembly of Jewish Federations (GA), which fed into the Board of Governors of the Jewish Agency… A real party!
Makom was highly involved in all these gatherings, and as well as working like dogs, we also learned a few fascinating lessons…
1. We were surprised that non-Israelis were surprised that Israelis are engaged on meaningful journeys of Jewish Identity.
Yes, that's right – a double surprise. At the session we ran at the GA on the Jewish identity of Israelis, we decided to take multi-vocality to its ultimate conclusion. Instead of having a panel of a few Israelis, we invited over 27 Israelis involved in all sorts of different Jewish identity questions, and sat them around small discussion tables. That way everyone would hear at least three different stories. From the head of a Secular Yeshiva, to the leader of a group of Orthodox gay men, to the orthodox woman working for the New Israel Fund. People from the far North, deep South, trendy center. People born in Israel and born elsewhere. All of them engaged and committed to expanding their own and other Israelis' Jewish horizons.

Assassination and Education
This year it will be the 16th Memorial Day of the Assassination of Rabin. Every event that repeats itself year on year presents an educational challenge, but unlike traditional Jewish holy days, the shape of this Memorial Day is being formed in the here and now. And I ask myself what will make this Memorial Day into something different from other value-laden days like May Day, Yom Ha'atzmaut, Columbus Day? Is there anything to be learned from a political assassination? Did the world learn anything from Kennedy's assassination? Martin Luther King's? To Full Post
The Paradox that was R. Ovadia Yosef z"l
What was the secret of the charm of Rav Ovadiah Yosef?
On the one hand there were his fans and followers through fire and water who related to every word of his as holy; yet on the other, a whole swathe of Jews who saw him as a leader whose statements were hurtful and communally insensitive?
How is it possible that there can be those who saw him as a great leader who established the tent of the Torah, and others who saw him a leader of a crowd of primitives?
How can it be that a man of phenomenal intellect and superlative expertise in all areas of Judaism, failed again and again by shaming and slandering other leaders? To Full Post
"What does your school do on Rabin Day?"
For two years at the turn of the millennium, I would ask this same question at every school I visited in Israel.
Studying Jewish Educational Leadership with the Mandel School, we would go out on field trips throughout Israel. Dialogical alternative schools, Shas schools, Haredi schools, different shades of Orthodox schools, Jewish/Arab schools, teaching colleges – the lot. And at every school I would ask only one question, the answer to which would tell me all I needed to know about the school.

Celebrating HaDag Nahash – a retrospective
I've been doing a lot of HaDag Nahash recently. As part of my work for Makom I've been translating the latest album at the band's request, and preparing translation projections for their show at the opening of London's new JW3 building. Lots of bilingualising and cutting and pasting.
Then a couple of nights ago I took my daughter to see a gig of theirs, at the outdoor amphitheater in Binyamina. Standing there, bopping and singing with my thirteen year-old as I had done some 11 years ago with my then-fourteen year old son at Limmud UK, I was struck by three thoughts.
HaDag Nahash have been going a long time, they keep getting better, and their work has helped me live and thrive in this strange and wonderful country. To Full Post
Funny Yom Kippur Memes
They say you should never try to translate a joke, but I just can't resist. These memes flying around the cracking facebook page best translated as "Tweeted Statuses" should not be kept from the non-Hebrew reading world. The interplay between modern Hebrew and liturgical Hebrew is a great deal of fun…
There are the ones that just play on the word slicha – סליחה. It means "sorry", and also "forgiveness", but sometimes "excuse me" – hence our opening cutey that initially looks like a standard facebook request for forgiveness.
The small print asks "What is the time?" So the re-read of the meme would be "Excuse me, what's the time?" Tee hee… To Full Post

TEENAGERS are often caught between a rock and a hard place when it comes to the world of work.
TEENAGERS are often caught between a rock and a hard place when it comes to the world of work. The following conversation will be all too familiar to youngsters and their parents across Bucks:
Employer: So what experience do you have?
Candidate: None, I only left education last week.
Employer: Well we're looking for someone with previous industry experience.
Candidate: But how can I get experience if no one will trust me and give me a job?
It is a vicious circle which teens in Bucks are campaigning to end.
Plumber Adam Stephenson, 23, of Station Road, Chesham, describes himself as 'lucky' because he was able to get a job as an apprentice. However, he is after a career change and has been searching for jobs in the youth work industry, but has had no luck.
He said: "It's so hard trying to find a job. People want experience and they're not willing to give you a chance.
"It was really hard getting into plumbing. So many people applied but I was really lucky and they picked me. So many of my friends are still trying to find work as a plumber but no one will take them on.
"People running businesses need to give us a chance. I've been turned away so many times because I don't have enough experience, but you need to start somewhere so please give us a chance and be more helpful by saying yes for once."
Chesham Youth Council's Tom Pirouet, 20, said: "It's very difficult to find a job. I think employers need to take a chance on young people. Employers want experience but if you can't work you have no experience and it keeps going round in a vicious circle.
"I know local authorities are aware of how difficult it is for young people. Young people feel that they're on their own, but I'm trying to get the word across that they're not."
A number of organisations in the county are running schemes to help young people get on to the career ladder, including Community Impact Bucks' Wheels to Work scheme.
This is a moped loan scheme for people normally aged between 16 and 19, but occasionally up to 25, who find it difficult to travel to far-flung places of work.
The organisation has 16 mopeds that are distributed around the whole of the county.
Eligible candidates, who must be referred by a relevant professional or organisation, pass a formal interview and provide a provisional driving licence, will receive a 50cc moped for a period of up to nine months in return for a monthly fee of £40, which covers tax, insurance, helmets and safety clothing, breakdown cover, road safety training and compulsory motorcycle basic training.
Community Impact Bucks' Graham Ross said: "It's hard for young people so if we can provide a little something for them that gives them an opportunity then that's good."
Mr Pirouet said: "I think it's a brilliant idea. A big problem, if you've managed to get a job, is lack of transport and the cost."
In June, Buckinghamshire Business First launched a scheme to set up 100 apprenticeships in 100 days, and has already got some businesses to advertise positions.
Jane Mason, who runs the scheme, said: "We're concerned locally about youth unemployment and we're also trying to get the message across to employers that apprenticeships are a great way of employing young people and investing in their future workforce."
Ms Mason said there are a grants available for businesses who sign up to the scheme.
Ms Mason urged businesses to recognise the potential in candidates instead of a lack of experience and advised young people looking for work to use their spare time by taking on voluntary roles and enrolling on courses to help develop themselves.
For budding entrepreneurs the Chesham Chamber of Trade and Commerce has set up a youth chamber, which people under 24 can join for free.
Chairman Dan Gregor said: "I think it's really important that young people are supported by the community. We want to help young people get their feet on the ladder. We want them to be successful and all businesses are interested in having more businesses set up."

returningPros: well packaged and easy to install and set up. was able to determine file location for saving documents easily. Cons: ADF (automatic document feeder) does not work. Jams easily. We could not get further than one sheet, did not scan two sided. Jammed every time it tried to scn second side. Essentially useless for desired purpose. I am returning today Did you find this review helpful? |
Not a good buyPros: It scans.. sometimes. Cons: It jams fairly often, the software looks like it was made in 1995, and the scan speed is TERRIBLE. I have time to go bake a potatoe by the time I can successfully scan 10 sheets without a jam. Did you find this review helpful? |

This software, even while not being used, will drain a laptop battery and max out the fans. Other Thoughts: All in or all out!

Horrible - Not HP WorthyPros: Low Price. Cons: Clumsy three button interface and tiny LCD screen make it seem like something from the 90s. The software is bloated and seems like it was written as a Visual Basic senior class project. Other Thoughts: HP - I expect more from you when it comes to scanners. Perhaps you should get out of the lower end price point, and stick to the higher quality high end market. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: This scanner has few pros...... The scans are good quality, but this scanner is a pain to use. I have been using one owned by my employer from a home office setting for the past three years. I am changing employers, and will recommend this piece of equipment just go to salvage. It is not worth the postage to send it back to my company's headquarters. I am already shopping for its replacement. Cons: The automatic document feeder (ADF) o this scanner is total junk. The particular scanner I have was used in an office setting for two-years before I took it to my home office, and the original ADF was replaced under warranty. But, the design is so flawed that the replacement ADF quickly malfunctioned again. When the scanner does function correctly in the automatic mode, every page will be scanned with about an 8-degree tilt to the left. You cannot feed documents with creases or folds, as the ADF jams too easily. Once jammed, the jammed pages are difficult to remove. If you are not careful, the ADF will pull multiple pages through at a time, causing you to have to interrupt scans and conduct re-runs. The cover to the scanner is top-heavy due to the duplex-feeder, and it is unwieldy to use scanning single pages at a time. The paper tray to the ADF is not securely attached, frequently pops loose, and must be aligned just right to get it to stay in its proper place. Other Thoughts: I ran out of room discussing the cons for the HP 5590. The software works, but is unwieldy, and prone to developing errors. Like on my computer, trying to install an update that fails to install, every time I open the program up. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
software controller has problemsPros: price, twain driver works with software, can scan photos Cons: adf jams are difficult to clear, program that controls the scanner stops working for no apparent reason, making the scanner virtually useless Other Thoughts: scanner characteristics are controlled by a program HP Director that stopped working after upgrading my video card. remove and reinstall did nothing. search on the HP discussion site disclosed that this program has MAJOR problems and HP is not addressing it. without this program, the scanner is close to worthless. I will NEVER buy another HP scanner Did you find this review helpful? |
Not DYI FriendlyPros: Mechanically it worked well. The down-loadable HP ScanPro software suite for Mac was really slick and well put together. It's fine for light/home use.... Cons: The software for PC was buggy and never worked right. Tried both the HP software and generic TWAIN drivers but it rarely wanted to work. Duplex scanning is especially slow. I had a small piece of paper get stuck in my document feeder and when I tried to pull it out, realized that the ADF unit is completely sealed so there's no way to get it out, short of using a hammer. Other Thoughts: Note: while it advertises duplex scanning it does not scan both sides of the sheet at the same time. Using the ADF it will scan one side of the paper, and then run it through a second time to get the other side, and then run it through a third time to flip the paper back to the right direction. It worked as advertised, but was so slow. Did you find this review helpful? |
Occasional Use OnlyPros: It scans occasionally and the software is really wiz bang! Cons: Let me see, where to begin. First of all, understand that duplex scanning is a complex operation and this scanner uses two passes unlike some of the more expensive single pass scanners. The duplex mechanism craped out in under 2 years scanning less than 50 documents a week. It was cleaned per the manufacturer spec on a regular basis. Even when it did work it preferred "pristine", "off the ream" pages. I don't know about you but the pages we scan (EOB's) have been folded and come in various sizes, their clean and typically have no wrinkles or tears. We'd put 5 pages in at a time because it would typically jam with any more than that. Let's see, the software is slow, convoluted, and crashes often. I could go on but I won't, save your money, if you need to scan more than a page here and there, put your money elsewhere. Oh and replacing the ADF (Auto Document Feeder) costs more than the scanner. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Family Alisphaeraceae Young Kleijne & Cros, in Young et al. (2003)
Remarks: The Alisphaeraceae are a diverse family of extant coccolithophores, of rather low abundance and producing very small coccoliths. Their fossil record is virtually undocumented but occasional specimens can be found in well preserved sediments. As explained below the coccolith structure does not fit easily in any of the main coccolith groups, and the alternate life-cycle phase produces quadrate aragonitic cup-shaped nannoliths instead of holococoliths.
Description: Dominant stage of life-cycle typically: motile, bearing heterococcoliths arranged in meridional rows. Coccoliths asymmetrical with edge directed toward flagellar opening extended into a flange or protrusion. Entire coccolith formed of rim units; proto-coccolith ring locus within tube; V-units form upper tube and distal flange; R-units form two-layered lower tube and proximal structures, sometimes with distal extension. Alternate life-cycle phase typically: motile, bearing quadrate, aragonitic, nannoliths. Nannoliths with conical upper part and cruciform base.
Type genus: Alisphaera Heimdal 1973.
Taxa included: The genera Alisphaera, and Canistrolithus are combined in this family on the grounds of very similar, and distinctive coccolith structure. Polycrater is included following observation of combination coccospheres (Cros & Fortuño 2002). This is an aragonitic nannolith (Manton & Oates 1980, Young et al. 1999) and strongly supports the family-level separation of this group.
Life-cycles and culture studies: None of these species have been cultured yet. Observations of combination coccospheres of Alisphaera with Polycrater and of Canistrolithus with Polycrater suggest that these are alternate phases (Cros et al. 2000a, Cros & Fortuño 2002). By analogy with other taxa, we predict that the heterococcolith phase (Alisphaera/Canistrolithus) is diploid and that the nannolith phase (Polycrater) is haploid.
Heterococcolith structure: As discussed by Kleijne et al. (2002), the proto-coccolith ring is located approximately halfway up the tube. Our LM observations indicate that the upper unit (D-unit of Kleijne et al. 2002) is the V-unit, this forms the distal flange and upper tube. The R-unit forms the inner and outer layers of the lower tube (with slightly different imbrication directions), and in Alisphaera the proximal flange and irregular central area grill.
Neogene: Alisphaeraceae

Ever Clean Everfresh with Activated Charcoal Unscented Premium Clumping Clay Litter Customer Reviews
Ever Clean Everfresh with Activated Charcoal Unscented Premium Clumping Clay Litter
Best litter for finicky cats
This is the best litter I have found for a multi cat household where certain cats will not use the litterbox if the contents smell. This is the best litter I have found (and I have tried most of them) to control the odor in the litterbox. The cats that would deposit next to the litterbox now go in the box. My house doesn't smell like old latrine anymore. Yes, this litter is expensive, but it is WORTH IT! What I save on paper towels and cleaning sprays alone makes it worth the extra cost. By the way, I scoop twice a day, and other litters still were stinky!! The only downside of this litter is it is dusty going into the box, but dissipates quickly and does not leave all my furniture dusty with litter dust.

very good
Cats liked it and I didn't have to carry it home from the petstore!!
September 21, 2013
BEST Cat Litter EVER!!!
I've tried so many brands, and this one "Ever Clean/Everfresh" is the BEST litter at controlling odors and clumping hard, for MUCH longer timeframes between litter changes (2+ months w/ regular scooping). I've used it for years. My cats like that it is perfume-free. Unlike most other brands, it contains activated charcoal to capture and and neutralize all odors. Houseguests cannot believe I have cats, as they've commented, because there is absolutely no litterpan odor in my multi-cat household. Please continue carrying this extraordinary product!
September 5, 2013
Hands down the best litter
I have 5 black and white furry friends so have tried them all. This is by far the longest lasting litter around. That is important when you have multiple boxes for multiple kitties.

Ever Clean Everfresh with Activated Charcoal Unscented Premium Clumping Clay Litter
I love this litter. It is the best litter I have ever used. There is never an odor coming from the litter box. My only criticism is the packaging for the 25 lb. box. I prefer the plastic packaging for the 40 lb. container, but I haven't been able to find it. I love the litter so much that I still give it 5 stars.

For Mother's Day brunch, I wanted to make something special. However, I'm not a big breakfast fan, I'm happy with oatmeal and a banana, so I had to really think it through. I thought I'd make a strata because it's simple and can be done ahead of time. I wanted to come up with a flavor combo that was somewhat traditional, but also savory and sweet. I came up with apple, sausage and cheddar, and it was so good! I used a mixture of oat wheat bread and sourdough, which made it taste great! I actually made 2 versions, a vegetarian (just no sausage) and then a regular. This did take a long time to cook, but it was just like I like it, crispy on the outside and custardy (but not soggy/runny) in the middle.
Apple, Cheddar and Sausage Strata
1 loaf of sourdough bread, cubed
1 loaf of oat wheat bread, cubed
2 granny smith apples, quartered, cored and sliced
1 8 oz. brick sharp cheddar, diced
1 8 oz. tube of reduced fat Jimmy Dean pork sausage, browned and crumbled
4 c. organic whole milk
1 dozen eggs
Salt and Pepper
Pinch of cayenne
Note: This recipe made 2 casseroles, but only 1 had sausage. For 1 casserole, half recipe but keep sausage the same, or both with sausage, double the sausage.
Spray two casserole dishes with nonstick spray.
Add half the bread in each dish.
Add one apple in each and the sausage in one.
Add 1/4 the cheese to each casserole, mix the casserole ingredients.
In a large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, salt, pepper and cayenne.
Pour half the egg mixture over each, gently press down so the bread is saturated.
Cover with the remaining cheese.
Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, place uncovered casseroles in oven on the top shelf.
Cook for 60-90 minutes, or until set in the middle.
If it browns too much, cover and continue to cook.

At Hyères, Everyone's a Winner
For a budding designer, just being in the Hyères fashion and photography festival, which wrapped this weekend, is a win. Of 350 submissions, only ten fashion finalists make the cut. This year, one of the major talking points was whether judges should honor unbridled creativity or a designer's ability to embrace reality. Lacoste's Felipe Oliveira Baptista, who won the competition back in 2002 and served as the president of this year's fashion jury, favors the former. "The clothes don't have to be on the rack immediately," he told Style.com. "But to be successful, a designer needs to show they're thinking about the commercial side, so they really have to prove their creative flair."
In the end, the15,000 euro Première Vision Grand Jury Prize went to Finnish designer Satu Maaranen for her Garment in Landscape collection, a poetic, freestyle exercise in hand-printed fabrics wrought with couture-inspired bows and elements of menswear. For example, on a much-noted jacket, the designer used glue to set the top portion with sand, silk-screened the rest neon pink, and looked to fishing trousers for the sleeve design. As part of her win, Maaranen will create a limited-edition T-shirt for another of the event's sponsors, Petit Bateau. Continue Reading "At Hyères, Everyone's a Winner" »
The New Chambre Maids (And Men), David Gandy: The Book, Fly The Standard Skies, And More…
France's Chambre Syndicale, the body that organizes Paris' fashion shows, has announced its newest members and associates. Congrats to Azzaro, Carven, Damir Doma, Felipe Oliveira Baptista, Thimister, Véronique Leroy, and American (sometimes) in Paris Zac Posen. [WWD]
Dolce & Gabbana have found their ideal poster boy (literally) in David Gandy, who's starred in many of the label's menswear campaigns and runway shows. They're now cementing their affection for the British-born model with a new book dedicated only to pictures of him—the first they've ever done focusing on a single model. [Vogue U.K.]
Next up for the Standard: its own airline. André Balazs' do-no-wrong hotel group has launched its own mini plane service, StndAIR, offering flights to the Hamptons in a plane painted the Standard's own cherry red. Here's hoping for a liftoff from the Boom Boom. [W]
And Lindsay Lohan takes on her latest role: art star? The troubled actress gets in front of the lens for a short film—the first—by artist Richard Phillips, who's no stranger to celebrity portraiture. [T]
Piqued Interest
Change is in the air at Lacoste: In September, longtime creative director Christophe Lemaire showed his final collection for the house, and Portuguese designer Felipe Oliveira Baptista is gearing up to take the reins. In the world of eyewear, too, the sands are shifting. The label relaunches its sunglass range with a new collection—produced by Marchon, the optical giants who create shades for Fendi, Jil Sander, and Michael Kors, among others—that hits stores tomorrow. The specs draw on the French label's heritage, including its most notable piece: the polo. In homage to the shirt René Lacoste made famous, several of the new sunglasses come in piqué styles—with, of course, a tiny croc to match.
Lacoste sunglasses, $120 to $180, are available tomorrow at select Lacoste locations; for more information, visit www.marchon.com.
Moore No More, Baby Weinstein Makes Three, Lacoste's New Hire, And More…
The Mayor of Venice has objected to Julianne Moore's Bulgari ad being displayed in St. Mark's Square. In the name of all that is anti-censorship—and pro-hot, hot Julianne Moore with some adorable baby lions—here it is above. [Racked]
Congratulations to Georgina Chapman—the Marchesa designer gave birth to her first child on Sunday night, a girl she and husband Harvey Weinstein have named India Pearl Weinstein. [Page Six]
A few months after Christophe Lemaire announced he'd decamp for Hermès, Lacoste has tapped his replacement: Felipe Oliveira Baptista, who's been showing his womenswear on the Paris ready-to-wear runway since 2003. [WWD]
B excited! Brian Atwood has signed a deal with Jones New York to produce a more affordable line of footwear, B Brian Atwood, which will retail for between $200 and $550. [WWD]

We were awestruck by the spectacular bay view from the front of our cabin. This is such a great location. The owner has everything well thought out for accommodations and ease of making your breakfast. We found our lodging clean and unique with the seafaring motif. Also, although the B&B is on a main road (and easily accessible) it was very private and relaxing once you were settled in. The sunsets were incredible and always a pleasure to enjoy on the decks. Of the three B&Bs that we stayed in on our vacation to Washington, this was our favorite. I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a relaxing get away with a phenomenal view and comfortable accommodations. And be sure to bring some snacks for Skittles the resident, guest friendly dachshund!Recommended for: Age 55+, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, sightseeing.

We came upon this B&B one dreary Valentine's Day week-end in 2008. And we've been back many times for a short week-end, or a base stop for ferrying to the other islands when our out-of-town friends visit. It's far more valuable than a time-share since "Capt.Kidd" [owner Oggie] would sit down with us and spin some yarn of entertaining tales about the islands and the sea. Great summer bonus treats when one could use the grill and have a cook-out with our guests. Wonderful place to recreate and rejuvenate, or simply do nothing and rest, surrounded with nature's sights and sounds of the Pacific Northwest.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, sightseeing.

We have visited this property twice. The position is ideal as it is easily accessed from other tourist spots such as Olympic National Park and The North Cascades N.P. During our last stay we took a day trip via ferry to the San Juan Islands and another day, drove up to Mt. Baker. The sunset views from the backyard are unbeatable, but you can also take a short drive to Mt. Erie (which can include a great hike) or Rosario Beach or even downtown. The owners are extremely gracious in every aspect from comfort, food, conversation and information, sharing their stories and listening to yours. We always leave with a tear in our eyes and hope to return again and again.Recommended for: Age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Some thoughts on the recent Uyghur uprising
by Edward F. Wong
Recent events in Urumqi have been very disconcerting for me, especially considering how close to home the initial spark for the unrest was. On June 25, in Shaoguan, Guangdong (I am from Hong Kong, which is geographically part of the same province), violence occurred after rumours that some of the 800 Uyghur workers who had recently arrived to work at a toy factory raped two Han women. These rumours were later found to have been fabricated by a disgruntled Han worker who was recently laid off. But because of the racist stereotyping of Uyghur men as sexual predators (ironically, the identical stereotype was made of early Chinese migrants to North America), no questions were asked and the legitimacy of such claims were assumed. Almost 1000 Han workers from the factory approached the Uyghur dorms and assaulted Uyghur workers with pipes and machetes. In the aftermath of the brawl, 2 workers had died and over a hundred injured. There were reports that the police stood by watching, choosing to intervene only at a very late stage.
Such incidents, while unsettling, cannot in itself spark the sort of mass uprising we see today in Urumqi and the rest of Uyghurstan (I will refrain from using the official Chinese name for the region 'XinJiang' (New Frontier), given its colonial roots and connotations – 'frontier? Frontier for Han expansion??). Instead, the Shaoguan incident served as a poignant reminder of the broader structures and history of subjugation faced by the Uyghur people. Probably the biggest benefactors of such ethnic unrest and inequalities are the Chinese capitalists and state officials. Just as capitalists in Canada like Onderdonk had spread racist propaganda to white workers to discourage labour solidarity in the railroad construction, the divide-and-conquer logic can be inferred with the circumstances in China. With the very real inequalities between Han and Uyghur workers, obfuscated is the common enemy of these two groups – the bosses. For example, while the Han workers of the toy factory in Shaoguan may hold certain privileges over the Uyghur workers, they too are victims of exploitation, many of them migrant workers, driven out of their rural homes by poverty.
I feel that it is by a similar logic that the state latches on to incidents of violence against Han workers during the riots. I condemn such acts of violence against Han workers, though I do recognize that the root cause is subjugation and the privileging of Han people. Alarmingly, such acts have been used by certain interests to stoke Han chauvanist fervour. The Chinese state had learned an important lesson from the Tibetan uprising and have switched to a more Western-style of media warfare. Instead of the media blackout, which occurred in Tibet, there was extensive coverage of the riots – with a strong disproportionate emphasis on Han injuries and deaths. Chauvanist fervour has manifested itself in retaliatory attacks by Han people1. Uyghur neighbourhoods and mosques were targeted with an arsenal of meat cleavers, clubs, and rocks. A participant commented, "They attacked us. Now it's our turn to attack them."
As stated earlier, the Shaoguan incident alone could not have sparked such mobilization. The Chinese government has time and time again deflected criticism by blaming 'outside exile subversives'. These claims are laughable and out of touch with reality. If Uyghur workers had truly benefited from the current structures in place, no amounts of persuasion from outside groups could bring them to the streets.
I am aware that the region fell under Chinese control throughout history; likewise, the region has experienced a number of periods of independence, whether de jure or de facto. The historical argument is often been brought up by apologists for the government. In my view, this point is completely irrelevant, let alone important. During a number of historical periods, the Mongolians had ruled over China. Would this historical fact justify the invasion of China and the subjugation of the Han people by Mongolians assuming they had the military strength today? The question instead should simply be: does oppression exist?
Considering the irrelevancy of that specific historical argument, I will begin my analysis with the modern conception of this region as a part of China, the modern conception beginning with the PLA invasion in 1949. Were the PLA greeted as liberators/allies? As with the case of Tibet, there have been reports of such. Are they true? Maybe, I don't know. It's certainly plausible; in Tibet, many were opposed to the exploitative feudal social relations in place. Nevertheless, the image of the PLA as liberators would certainly have faded away given the experiences and policies in these regions for the last 60 years, policies which can only be described as colonialism.
Economic development is regularly cited as a counter to claims of oppression. However, economic development figures only tell a part of the story. The more important question is economic development for who? North America has certainly undergone mass industrialization and 'development', but to say that this has been to the benefit of Aboriginal people would be ignorant at best. Likewise, the benefits of economic development in Uyghurstan have been unequal.
Since 1949, the demographics of Uyghurstan have shifted from 90% Uyghur to just 45% Uyghur. The Chinese government has encouraged mass settlement of Han people through financial incentives. Most have chosen to stay in urban areas. Indeed, in Urumqi, the capital of Uyghurstan with a population of over 2.5 million, 75.3% are Han and only 12.8% are Uyghur. Most of the economic development have focused on urban regions, a policy consistent throughout the country, and thus, benefiting primarily Han people. In addition, such developments, as described in an article written by Louisa Lim, have sparked processes of gentrification. Open-air bazaars run by Uyghur small merchants selling cheaper goods have been replaced by new buildings, bringing rents up and leading to increased marginalization. Urumqi has become heavily segregated with Uyghurs confined to poor neighbourhoods. Another reason for unemployment and poverty is linguistic imperialism. Characteristic of linguistic imperialism is the privileging of the Chinese language. Many Uyghurs do not qualify for official jobs in the government or in Chinese companies as they lack the knowledge of the Chinese language. Ironically, this has been used as a justification for bringing in Han labour from the rest of the country.
One of the major incentives for the Chinese control of the region is its massive natural resource deposits. Oil refineries have sprung up throughout the area. However, employment and revenues have gone largely to Han people. Wang Lequan, a high ranking government official in the province, defended employment practices by claiming that, "one common problem of the western region is that the education and cultural level of the people here is quite low <…> In Xinjiang, we lack the talent needed for modernization and advanced technology". In terms of revenue, almost RMB14.8b ($2.5 billion CAD) in taxes were collected from the petrochemical industries. However, only RMB240m ($41 million CAD) were allocated back to the local government. Wong Lixiong, a Chinese intellectual, had written extensively about the growing nepotism and corruption in the resource extraction industries in Uyghurstan. For example, a monopoly on mineral water in the region is held by the son-in-law of Wang Lequan. Resource extraction have not benefited the local people; instead, it has lined the pockets of state officials and Chinese capitalists. A Muslim resident commented, "the Chinese didn't want to let Xinjiang be independent before, but after they built all the oilfields, it became absolutely impossible".
Uyghurs who have left Uyghurstan and settled in major cities in the rest of the country have not fared much better. In a recent paper by Reza Hasmath, a professor at Cambridge, it appears that although Uyghur residents of Beijing tend to have attained higher education standards than the average, higher education standards do not correlate with higher wages or employment. Mirroring the experience of the Chinese community in Canada, university degrees have not resolved problems of above-average unemployment rates, and below-average wages. Thus, systemic racism is apparent.
The more important question is where do we go from here? Personally, I do not feel that the creation of a Uyghur nation-state (or a Tibetan one) would solve the root problems. The creation of a new state would only serve to replace Chinese oppressors with Uyghur ones. However, if that is the wish of the people, this must be respected. Instead of separation, I feel that the only answer, the only starting point to meaningfully addressing ethnic inequalities, is to democratize society, to put decision-making in the hands of the workers. And for that, there needs to be a united workers' movement. To the Han workers: do not fall victim to these divide-and-conquer tactics. We must recognize our privileges within the system, but also recognize that we share with the Uyghur workers a common enemy and a common goal. Our enemy: the capitalist bosses and the state! Our goal: social justice and democracy!
還證於民! Power to the people!
Note: There are a great number of over concerns held by the Uyghur people, including cultural assimilation (book burnings, languages not taught in school) and religious persecution. Unfortunately, given limits in time and the consideration that economic gain has been the major means of justification for gov't policy in Uyghurstan, I have chosen to focus on economic aspects
Note2: If anyone speaks Turkic, could they tell me what power to the people is in that language. It's kind of ironic I guess to speak of linguistic imperialism and then not include it.
