Posted by Marcus J Freed
When were you last with someone who spoke a lot but said nothing? Oftentimes, it can be a human tendency to speak as a way of letting out anxiety. Rather than acknowledging uncomfortable emotions, we chatter so that we don't have to feel the discomfort. Few people take the time to go on a retreat into silence, which is why very few discover the incredible rewards from this practice.
Moses' brother Aaron makes a powerful choice of words when faced with an extraordinarily challenging personal situation concerning a Divine punishment on his sons: he says nothing. Instead of wailing, blaming God, or anxiously talking through his problem, he chooses not to make it a problem and retreats into a contemplative, accepting silence.
The Hebrew word used is 'Dam', which is a form of silence. It is a self-controlled, spiritually connected, completely aware, active silence. The same word is used when Elijah hears the 'still, silent' voice of God and the same word also appears when King David wrote 'Be silent and know God' (Psalm 46:10). This is Aaron's form of silence; it is not passively accepting tribulations from heaven but acknowledging that there is a time listen rather than speak.
Ayurveda is the primary school of yogic medicine that originated in India over 3000 years ago . It is based on the five elements of earth, water, fire, air and ether. One of my yoga teachers suggested that our society is engulfed by the air and ether elements, what Ayurveda calls 'vatta'. In other words, we have tendency towards a flitting, airy nature which would benefit from grounding. How can we ground ourselves? Through holding the air within and using the tool of silence. Yoga postures which are good for grounding include all of the standing poses, such as Triangle, Mountain and Pyramid pose.
Both business leaders and spiritual sages know that less is more, but it can take more energy to say less.

Tropical igloo-looking homes in drought-stricken Dadaab, Kenya
Schalk Van Zuydam / AP
A child stands in front of her home at a refugee camp in Dadaab, Kenya, on Thursday, Aug 4. Dadaab, a camp designed for 90,000 people now houses around 440,000 refugees. Almost all are from war-ravaged Somalia. Some have been here for more than 20 years, when the country first collapsed into anarchy. But now more than 1,000 are arriving daily, fleeing fighting or hunger.

To share this article: Enter the email address you want to send this article to in the field and click "Send"
By Gregory Phillips Staff writer
Cumberland County has given Fayetteville and its surrounding towns an ultimatum: Extend a sales tax revenue-sharing agreement for another three years or face potentially crippling losses.
The recommendation of the county's Finance Committee Thursday morning was the latest move in an exercise in brinkmanship as the April 30 deadline looms for amending the agreement.
"I'm sorry that this has come down to such a contentious issue," Commissioner Kenneth Edge said, "but at the same time, we cannot continue to offer the services that we offer to all the citizens of Cumberland County while continuing to lose revenue."
State law gives counties the power to decide how to share sales tax receipts with municipalities, either by population or tax base. Nine of the state's 10 most populous counties use the tax base method, which leaves more money with counties. For the past decade, Cumberland has distributed the $75 million at stake by population, but with an agreement that municipalities pay back 50 percent of the money they get from annexed areas.
The mayors decided they'd had enough of paying for years-old annexations and proposed phasing out the reimbursements over 20 years while a permanent solution is worked out. But that would ultimately cost the county $6.7 million per year, and the commissioners weren't interested.
Switching to the tax base method would hit the municipalities hard: Fayetteville would lose more than $4 million and Hope Mills about $1 million. The others would lose smaller dollar amounts but a greater percentage of their budgets, which would likely force them to raise property taxes to preserve services.
Spring Lake Mayor Chris Rey, who leads the county mayors coalition, said the commissioners' decision will hurt county residents in towns.
"This will force all municipalities to raise taxes on the same citizens of the county that they all represent," he said.
Rey said he was hoping for a compromise.
"What should happen is that you meet in the middle, come together for the good of the citizens of Cumberland," he said. "We shouldn't get what we want; they shouldn't get what they want."
The 2004 agreement split the difference between the two sharing methods, but a compressed timetable and antagonism over annexation has worn away the spirit of compromise. Rey said he will take the county's decision to the mayors.
Fayetteville Mayor Tony Chavonne said he couldn't predict what the City Council, which meets Monday, would do with the proposal.
"It's unfortunate where we are," he said. "Ultimately, it's the county's decision, and we respect that."
The county commissioners plan to vote on the method of sharing April 15 and want a response from each municipality by then.
Jackie Warner, mayor of Hope Mills, said her board already authorized her to agree to an extension if necessary. That would provide the time, she said, to "come up with the revenue we will need once those three years are over."

Dangers of counterfeit drugs
Make sure you're not being duped

You're watching...
Make sure you're not being duped
Aug 18, 2012
Also in this playlist...
Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
And that next bottle of prescription pills listen to this story according to government reports the production of counterfeit drugs is a growing threat here in the US.
So what are the dangers and how can we make sure that we're getting what the doctor ordered.
Fox medical eighteen to doctor Marx and the -- -- -- thanks for being here I was stunned by the numbers forty million of these counterfeit drugs are being peddled somehow in the United States what's happening.
-- got on the stand we have four billion prescriptions for drugs every year which is 40% of the prescription drugs in the entire world.
Forty million of them are counterfeit.
The number one problem is on line.
People that go to get their medications.
Online without a doctor being involved without a doctors certified web site that's the number one thing got to look out for.
Let's go through some of the drugs that are in jeopardy of being counterfeited and alert our our viewers the first one types are antibiotics anti viral is what it like Tamiflu what are we need to know about it.
Well you know that's he -- aframax that's very very common at such a highly prescribed antibiotic.
And the first issue is packaging what does it look like what is the spelling correct is that is -- the label look at the pill is -- that pill you can recognize you can actually.
Ask your doctor of this is the right -- Tamiflu when we have flu epidemics -- flu outbreaks that drug goes like wildfire in the Internet is where it's sold in counterfeit.
The next one -- -- look up -- we just put it up on the screen these of the heart medication so many people take Lipitor well how can you protect yourself against.
The -- here.
Well again you have to ask your physician further prescription and you got to go to a pharmacy that he or she recommends you can't go to some pharmacy that isn't certified.
Lipitor is a huge problem -- that right now because it's going generic.
The more the drugs go generic the more varieties there are around the more likely to be counterfeit it should -- hugely growing problem here in the united.
And so and as you said you only use authorized pharmacies next cancer drugs that is tragic -- these are being counterfeit because they obviously won't work as well.
And it all drugs this is true -- it's also what people need to know about their cancer drug.
-- people out there may have heard about this but this year was a terrible year for this Avastin a cancer drug that was counterfeit coming out of Turkey.
Mislabeled misspelled.
In French instead of an English there's ways to tell this but but it's an enormous problem the way to avoid it with cancer drugs is go to your hospital for chemotherapy get a from a clinic.
That usually gives chemotherapy don't go to try to get your chemotherapy elsewhere it is scarce and the problems occur because this scarcity of these drugs.
But the solution isn't to go for them outside of the certified professional.
The next -- one that I take all the time allergy pills I've noticed that those are being kept behind the counter now at the drugstore is how can you make sure that you're not getting.
Topic for painkillers an allergy drug.
You know -- we know that's a huge problem -- over prescribing -- -- other painkillers in the US security up their people are taking too much of it.
But -- the problem is because it's an over the counter medication.
It's mislabeled again look at the packaging is this the packaging you're used to it is dispelling the same as are the colors the same that you -- together.
Another wanna could have disastrous effects -- you get a counterfeit psychiatric drugs like Zoloft and xanax solace Nazis.
-- the number one problem was actually at a role this year which is not on our list but at a role was with there was a tremendous shortage for attention deficit disorder.
And there was counterfeit like mad and again the problem was mostly online you've got to understand people can't get their medication.
There's a big shortage you have to feel terrible for them but you can't compensate for that.
By going out so you usual physician network to get these drugs.
And that's scary obviously contributing it to kids so though the lesson here is just be super cautious and double check you know when you get something from -- -- look at the label.
Get your physician involved see if the writing is correct don't get an online go through doctors got -- doctor Marc Siegel thanks so much great detail since.

Romney Derangement Syndrome
Monday, October 15th, 2012by Bob Quasius
We all vividly recall Bush derangement syndrome during the eight years of the Bush presidency, in which we constantly heard liberals whine and complain about Bush, blaming Bush for all of society's ills. Even today we still hear Obama 'blame it all on Bush' in explaining his numerous failures as a president.
The term "Bush Derangement Syndrome" was coined by Charles Krauthammer, a Harvard trained psychiatrist turned columnist in his epic op-ed titled "Bush Derangement Syndrome":
It has been 25 years since I discovered a psychiatric syndrome (for the record: "Secondary Mania," Archives of General Psychiatry, November 1978), and in the interim I haven't been looking for new ones. But it's time to don the white coat again. A plague is abroad in the land.
Bush Derangement Syndrome: the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency — nay — the very existence of George W. Bush.
Now, I cannot testify to Howard Dean's sanity before this campaign, but five terms as governor by a man with no visible tics and no history of involuntary confinement is pretty good evidence of a normal mental status. When he avers, however, that "the most interesting" theory as to why the president is "suppressing" the 9/11 report is that Bush knew about 9/11 in advance, it's time to check on thorazine supplies.
When Rep. Cynthia McKinney first broached this idea before the 2002 primary election, it was considered so nutty it helped make her former Rep. McKinney. Today the Democratic presidential front-runner professes agnosticism as to whether the president of the United States was tipped off about 9/11 by the Saudis, and it goes unnoticed. The virus is spreading.
Bush Derangement Syndrome had mostly faded from memory until campaign season began in earnest. Now, just as viruses often mutate, Bush Derangement Syndrome has mutated into Romney Derangement Syndrome, and all the symptoms are pervasive!
The first symptom of this malady came with a SuperPac ad making the outrageous claim that Mitt Romney caused the cancer death of a woman. This claim was too much even for liberal leaning CNN, which thoroughly debunked this ad:
Not surprisingly, hardly a peep out of the Obama campaign, other than to point out they didn't produce the ad, though Joe Soptic, who talks about his wife's cancer death in the ad, is a regular figure in the Obama campaign. The RNC was able to tie Joe Soptic to the Obama campaign:
The latest wave of Romney Derangement Symdrome stems is evidenced in the liberal blogosphere and twittersphere, which is aghast that Sensata, which is 51.8% owned by Bain Capital, is closing a plant in Illinois and opening a plant in China, and the workers trained their replacements. The headlines are blaring… "Mitt Romney Gets Tax Break Off Firm Sending Jobs To China" and "Romney Profits From Bain Outsourcing Sensata Technologies to China, Employees Plead for Jobs", and "Sensata workers rally against 'Romney economy,' Romney defends Bain Capital in acceptance speech." There's even a blog posting here at Tucson Citizen titled "The Romney Economy"
These news stories/blog postings all blame Mitt Romney for Sensata's plant closure, but is this even factual? Blogger Kimberly Morin of Examiner.com debunks these claims in her blog titled "Liberal lies and hysteria try to tie Mitt Romney to Sensata closure", pointing out a number of blatant lies, among them:
- FACT: Mitt Romney has nothing to do with Sensata. Bain Capital Investors have a 51.8% share of Sensata stock.
- FACT: Romney actually transferred what stocks he did own in Sensata to charities
- FACT: Romney hasn't made business decisions at Bain for many years now. He and his wife Ann have a blind trust with Bain which means they have zero clue where their money is invested.
- FACT: The key people running Bain Capital Investors are Joshua Bekenstein, John Connaughton, Paul Edgerly, Mark Nunnelly, Stephen Pagliuca, Jordan Hitch and Matthew Levin. It seems that the majority of these 'key people', who make decisions like closing Sensata, are Democrats who support Obama. (see blog for details of their ties to Obama and the Democratic Party)
- FACT: Romney doesn't own Sensata and the 'tax break' for outsourcing jobs itself is a myth. It's a minor moving deduction and it's miniscule.
- FACT: Romney cannot alter the decisions made by the people are actually running these businesses. He has zero influence on what these people choose to do with their business or employees.
- FACT: This lie is being perpetrated by people like left wing hacks at DailyKos. The photo they use as 'proof' is actually of the Sensata plant in China. (note: Baja Democrat here on Tucson Citizen fell for the misleading photo too, but at least had the decency to apologize, something Daily Kos has failed to do after misleading liberals everywhere).
Of course none of the liberal blogosphere/twittersphere care to mention that a leading exporter of U.S. jobs to China is General Motors, also known as "Government Motors" because taxpayers own a huge stake in GM. GM has exported thousands of good U.S. jobs since the Obama rescue of GM, far in excess of the 200 or so jobs lost at Sensata, and taxpayers will likely lose tens of billions when our stake in GM is eventually sold.
Joe Biden is fond of serving up 'red meat' to supporters with "Osama Bin Laden is dead and GM is alive and well." However, since GM is exporting thousands of good U.S. jobs to China, it would be more appropriate to say "Osama Bin Laden is dead and GM is alive and well… in China" as we recently blogged!
Obama's economic policies are also driving U.S. employers to export jobs to China, as we pointed out in our blog "Devastating Realities of Obamacare: A Call to Repeal" (also posted here on Tucson Citizen). By increasing employee costs for U.S. employers, operations in the U.S. become less competitive and employers are encouraged to locate operations overseas to remain competitive.
No doubt we won't hear from the liberal blogosphere about the damage to U.S. workers from Obama's economic policies, ObamaTax/ObamaCare, and massive increases in regulations that are strangling businesses, but we'll hear endlessly about how Mitt Romney profited from Sensata's decision to close a small plant in Illinois, even though Mitt Romney had nothing to do with that closure. Now that's Romney derangement syndrome!

On Wednesday, June 23, 2010, stakeholders with an interest in coordinating the War of 1812 Bicentennial Commemorative events in Bladensburg, MD, gathered at the Anacostia Watershed Society's headquarters in the historic George Washington House. Participants in the charrette consisted of Bicentennial Task Force members as well as other community representatives. Those in attendance worked together to brainstorm commemorative events for 2012-2015 as well as lasting changes to the community, such as new park infrastructure, to last beyond the Bicentennial. Among those in attendance were three University of Maryland Community Planning Masters students, representing organizations for which they work: From left to right: John Heermans with Bostwick House in Bladensburg; Stacie West, of the National Park Service - Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail; and Raymond Hayhurst with the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, Prince George's County.
In June 2010, first year planning students, Jaime Fearer and Pam Eichenbaum worked with third graders at Watkins Elementary School in the District to introduce them to the principles and practices of planning. Using materials developed by Alex Chen, teams of third graders spent a week conducted an asset audit of the area immediately surrounding the school. Upon completion they engaged in a group discussion on the strengths and weaknesses as well as opportunities and threats which face their neighborhood. The project culminated in a Box City exercise, using a city grid based on the study area. With Jaime, Pam and parents, acting as planning consultants, students created a new vision for their ideal community.
The School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at the University of Maryland is home to four academic disciplines: architecture, urban planning, historic preservation and real estate development. Committed to educating its students and community about the importance of sustainability and smart growth, the School practices an interdisciplinary approach to education, research, creative work, and community and professional service.

Shouldn't we care about other social injustices besides abortion?
I think people are creating an artificial distinction because they feel that whenever you talk about one social evil and injustice, you are obligated to list every other one. I don't agree with that. And I don't appreciate the fact that this is seldom done with other injustices, but is routinely done with abortion.

GOD TV & Pat Boone work together to aid Africa
Media Release: JULY 28, 2010
'Life Center' helps to serve community and reduce
poverty and new transmitter reaches one million viewers
GOD TV CEO, Rory Alec and American singer, actor and writer, Pat Boone were in East Africa this week to open a community development center in Tanzania and dedicate GOD TV's latest broadcast tower in Kenya.
The Pat Boone Family Life Center was officially opened by Pat Boone on Monday July 26th after he partnered with GOD TV to provide foundational funding for the facility in Loiborsoit, Tanzania. This is GOD TV's newest Life Center to be built and will serve an entire Maasai community with much needed services.
The facility provides health services and clean water through a deep water well. The new Life Center will also provide electrical power, telephone and Internet communications and a school fostering economic and agricultural development.
"We are privileged to partner with Pat and Shirley Boone to impact the everyday lives of several thousand Maasai people," said Rory Alec. "Pat Boone is just as well known for his artistic talents as his Christian faith and the generosity of the Boone family has inspired us to reach further to help bring about transformation in Africa."
GOD TV's Mombasa Transmitter was dedicated to God on Tuesday July 27th in a special service held on site and filmed by GOD TV to be broadcast worldwide. This, GOD TV's fifth transmitter in Kenya, will provide one million Kenyans with free Christian television programming.
GOD TV has been in Kenya for the past seven years and now viewers in Mombasa are also able to tune in to watch popular Bible teachers; news and magazine programmes; youth concerts; and LIVE broadcasts from across the globe.
GOD TV started broadcasting in Kenya in 2003 when the Network launched its first transmitter in Eldoret in partnership with Sayare TV. Since then broadcast towers have been built in Timboroa, Nairobi, Nakuru and now Mombasa - reaching a combined viewing audience of several million homes.
"We are delighted to broadcast the Gospel into more Kenyan homes as well as to spearhead much-needed community upliftment projects," said Rory Alec. "GOD TV aims to provide Christian programming in every major city in Africa as it is God's Word that really changes lives. We also want to build Life Centers in needy areas to help build stronger communities."
As an international media network, GOD TV focuses on sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with a connected viewing audience of nearly half a billion people worldwide. It also donates a percentage of its revenue to charitable projects, putting a high priority on serving the needs of those who are suffering.
GOD TV can be viewed worldwide and all across the USA on channel 365 of DIRECTV as well as on select local cable stations in certain cities. Online viewers can watch at www.god.tv/live or at www.god.tv/video via video on demand.

lets put games to one side for a moment and consider the educational possiblities on the PS3. i've been thinking of this for years now and i see at last the real possibility.
imagine a real world emulator, with realistic environment and physics driven terrain. you wonder over this environment in real time. there are animals wondering everywhere that are native to this paticular geographic. everything, including grass, trees, insects, birds etc. are native. at any time you can lock onto an animal and the camera automatically follows it as it feeds, hunts, builds nests, feeds its young; you get the picture. you can also pause and move a cursar over the animal and information pertaining to it pops up. there are so many possibilities here that i don't know where to stop!
experiments, building engines, art, writing, Maths - all with realworld graphics and physics.
from an exploration point of view it would be great too. feeling stressed, don't want to kill anything today, just wonder around and view the scenery, sit by a stream and watch the salmon attempting to scale a waterfall. watch a kingfisher flying up and down stream, diving for fish. hell why not pull out your rod and see how many species of fish you can catch. your ideas please...
This would be great for practical application. Too often you're just studying words and numbers in text books. Seeing the way things behave for real really makes things register with people.
The market at the moment for educational games isn't too high. But if Nintendo is proof of anything, it's entirely possible. I'm not even sure how well a concept like this can work in a gaming market dominated by Violence with the occasional quirks. Again this is a concept that can be better done on a PC to allow more coverage for schools vs. being exclusive on just a PS3. Again this is better suited for Nintendo as their market for the youth is much larger than any other and I'm sure nobody would be spending their free time traveling around on a virtual world looking at virtual creatures. But I guess this game can be marketed to those that are allergic to sunlight and can't make the trip out to the city park and observe the wildlife there.
especially if you were offered the chance of capturing animals and putting them in a zoo, where you can tend to them and feed them. i'd love just doing this anyway, especially if the environments were so real and huge that exploration becomes a genuine thrill. the rare animals would have to be researched so that you know where their most likely to be.Originally Posted by LaLiLuLeLo2003
Good idea Cliffbo - even though it was not educational , I remember playing GTA3 and being mesmerised by the setting sun while Tommy stands there with an M16........just watching life go by will be great in PS3 games - take a look at the Getaway demo. Hopefully the finished article will look just as 'busy'
theres no reason why you couldn't buy a survival mod that leaves you stranded without food and shelter. you have to find your way to civilisation with only your wit and imagination at your disposal.
I think this kind of infoteinment on PS3 is a great idea. I think it only existed on PC before, they usually require some kind of govermental or organisation funding.
The closest I can think of was a game sponsored by WHO I think, where you for example were responsible for flying in food supply to some people in need. Flying and dropping the packages was part of the game experience to have fun and when doing that you accidentally also got to learn a few things about Africa.
If you could do a game about wild life experience in the same way it would be great, possibly a few more people would start to care about our planet.
I remember buying SimEarth and SimLife to my sisters daughters maybe ten years ago, but they got bored pretty quick, even though the idea of the games were pretty clever, I think SimCity got more loving from those who owned the franchise.
I'm with you on this cliffbo
I won't mind if in-game adverts of National Geographic, Discovery Channel and Animal Planet are thrown in for good measure too. I hope this game comes to fruitation but how much chance would it have in retail? I like the idea no doubt but I'm not convinced to shell out $50+ just to see some ant pick food all the way to her nest underground. See what I mean.
Ofcourse, it might be marketed as an educational software so the retail part may not even come into practice. I wouldn't mind seeing such title included as a bonus for any next-gen console though. Sounds very promising. And resource demanding for AI development too. Yikes.
cheers crossbar. we are entering an era of unpresidented graphics and i honesly believe a lot of people who are not neccessarily games orientated would enjoy a wildlife film they could actually interact with.
download the core program with limmited bounderies say for $15 and then add mods $5 as you explore further. adventures don't have to incorporate guns, cameras would be great to create an info base of geographical and wildlife information.Originally Posted by yoshaw

I just got my free Carnaholic in the mail(thank you by the way) and was just wondering if there is any danger of taking this with a pre-workout that already has beta-alanine in it? My current pre-workout is Rag Ultra and it has 2000mg of beta-alanine.
Also, how long after food can this be taken? If I take it an hour after eating will it be too soon?
thank you

The Last Bunga Bunga?
A look back at the roller-coaster career of Silvio Berlusconi on the eve of what may be his last election.-
Silvio Berlusconi, or Italy's arch seducer, as the British newspaper the Independent has called him, rose from vacuum cleaner salesman to media tycoon to political titan over the course of four decades, serving three separate terms as prime minister. He has also appeared in court more than 2,500 times by his own estimate, gone through two divorces, and been dogged by sex scandals involving "bunga bunga" parties full of scantily clad -- and allegedly underage -- women.
To his detractors, he is a walking catastrophe who has brought Italy nothing but humiliation. To his supporters, he is a charismatic center-right savior of the nation. But detractors and supporters alike both reckoned it was over for Berlusconi when he resigned as prime minister in 2011, after losing his parliamentary majority during and being forced out of office in the midst of an economic crisis. If this wasn't enough to finish him off, then surely his conviction for tax evasion in October 2012 was the final blow.
Now, only months later, Berlusconi is trailing his center-left opponent by just five to six percentage points in the country's general election on Feb. 24-25. If he wins, he will solidify his reputation as Italy's -- and, really, the world's -- ultimate political survivor. If he loses, we may very well be witnessing the last act in a larger-than-life career on the world stage -- chronicled in photos here.
Before Berlusconi was a world-famous politician, he was a renowned media mogul. In 1971, he started a local cable television channel called Telemilano, which grew into an empire. That empire, Mediaset, owns Italy's three largest private TV channels, but is just a portion of the former prime minister's business ventures. He controls the country's largest publishing house, a daily newspaper, and the soccer club AC Milan, all through his holdings company, Fininvest.
Above, Berlusconi leaves a press conference in Paris on Nov. 22, 1985, after making an announcement about his privately owned 5th TV channel.
Berlusconi poses with his then-second wife Veronica Lario on Oct. 13, 1991 in France after receiving a man-of-the-year award from a television and entertainment company.
Forza Italia means "Go Italy." It is the cheer of AC Milan fans -- Berlusconi grew up in Milan -- and it is what the Italian leader named his new political party in 1993. Just a year later, he aligned the party with right-wing groups and was elected to his first term as prime minister. The excitement was short-lived, though, as the upstart party confronted charges of corruption. Berlusconi lost the 1996 election to the left-wing politician Romano Prodi, who would become a long-time rival.
Above, Berlusconi celebrates the March 29, 1994, election results.
In 2000, Berlusconi was acquitted of a tax fraud charge levied against him, as the statue of limitations had run out. He then turned his attention to regaining his old post.
Above, Berlusconi is pictured giving a press conference at the Foreign Press Center in Rome on June 1, 2000.
Berlusconi, who spent the early part of his career crooning in nightclubs and on cruise ships, is pictured in the television screen grab above singing a song with the Italian musician Mariano Apicella during a private party at his summer residence on the island of Sardinia. Images of the performance circulated on Italian television in September 2003.
Berlusconi again joined forces with the right-wing National Alliance and Northern League to recapture the office of prime minister in 2001. Shortly after the election, then-U.S. President George W. Bush visited Italy.
Above, Bush and Berlusconi toast each other during an official dinner at the White House in Washington, D.C. on Oct. 13, 2008.
Berlusconi and Russian President Vladimir Putin have a well-documented friendship that began receiving media coverage during Berlusconi's second term. The two men have been known to pal around during pressers and while skiing and fishing.
Above, the two world leaders joke around at a press conference in Lipetsk, Russia on April 21, 2004.
Despite his ongoing legal troubles, ranging from accusations of money laundering to judge bribery to mafia connections, Berlusconi's second government served from 2001 to 2006 -- the longest term for an Italian government since World War II. But in 2006 he lost an election to Romano Prodi, the left-wing leader who had defeated him 10 years earlier.
Above, newspapers depict the results of the 2006 election on April 10 of that year.
In 2008, Berlusconi was elected prime minister once again at the head of yet another new political party, People of Freedom -- the result of a merger between Forza Italia and the Northern Alliance.
Above, Berlusconi charms Italy's then-Education Minister Mariastella Gelmini during a press conference in Rome on Oct. 22, 2008.
Berlusconi whispers into the ear of then-French President Nicolas Sarkozy as German Chancellor Angela Merkel chuckles during a European summit to address the global financial crisis on Oct. 4, 2008, in Paris, France.
Never one to turn down some fun, Berlusconi is pictured here at a G-20 summit on April 2, 2009, in London laughing with former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and newly elected U.S. President Barack Obama, with Chinese President Hu Jintao in the foreground.
Berlusconi leaves a hospital in Milan on Dec. 17, 2009, with bandages covering his nose, cheek, and mouth after a protester hurled a souvenir statue of Milan's Duomo at the prime minister's face.
Berlusconi looks just as stumped as everyone else during an Oct. 26, 2011 European Council meeting in Brussels. Both he and former Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou, also pictured above, were grappling with their countries' skyrocketing bond rates at the time.
Continuing their decades-long friendship, Berlusconi and then-Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin pose with former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on a plane as they tour an airport in the Black Sea resort of Sochi on Dec. 3, 2010.
Much of Berlusconi's life is well-documented, but no aspect so much as his escapades with women of all kinds. His relationship with his second wife, who is the mother of three of his five children, began as an affair during his first marriage; the second marriage then succumbed to subsequent sex scandals.
Berlusconi has been accused of cavorting with minors at his "bunga bunga" parties, and he once told a member of his administration -- a former model -- that he would "gladly marry her" if he weren't married already. Most recently, he was charged with having sex with a 17-year-old exotic dancer.
Above, Berlusconi steps up to the stage following AC Milan's victory in the Berlusconi Trophy match on Aug. 21, 2011. Berlusconi's sex life may be controversial, but he's been quite successful as the leader of AC Milan. Since taking control of the organization in 1986, he has steered the club away from bankruptcy and led them to eight Italian league titles and five Champions League trophies.
Berlusconi talks to TV presenter Bruno Vespa on May 5, 2009, with a picture of his former wife, Veronica Lario, in the background. Lario left her husband that year after he was seen at the birthday party of an 18-year-old aspiring model, and the two just reached a divorce settlement in 2012. Berlusconi will pay Lario 36 million euros per year, but he gets to keep their 60-million euro villa.
Berlusconi presents incoming Prime Minister Mario Monti with a bell to mark the beginning of his tenure on Nov. 16, 2011 in Rome. Monti, who also appointed himself the finance minister but resigned last year, was tapped for his background in economics, in the hopes that he could save the country from the financial mess many believe Berlusconi created.
Last October, Berlusconi was convicted of tax fraud associated with his Mediaset properties, sentenced to four years in prison, and told he would not be allowed to hold public office for three years.
Above, Berlusconi at a press conference on Feb. 1, 2012.
Berlusconi claims that he has spent over 200 million euros on his legal expenses over the past 20 years. The former prime minister has defended himself in over 100 cases against charges ranging from bribery to false accounting since he was first elected in 1994, but his initial conviction came in 1990 on a false testimony charge in a case involving his membership in a right-wing Masonic lodge. Berlusconi has spent many hours in court -- but he has yet to spend a day in jail.
Above, a picture of Berlusconi behind super-imposed bars hangs on a building in Kharkiv, Ukraine on Nov. 28, 2012.
Improbably, Berlusconi hit the campaign trail once again this year. Here, he delivers a speech during a campaign rally in Rome on Jan. 25, 2013.
Berlusconi poses for photographers during a televised campaign interview on Jan. 10, 2013.

J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition) is a feature that allows the device to run small, user-installable software applications written especially for mobile devices such as phones.
J2ME is a specific version of Java designed for phones. There are other versions designed for desktop and general-purpose applications. Some phones have a version of Java that is not J2ME, and therefore is not directly compatible with J2ME.
J2ME has faded in popularity since the advent of smartphones, which can run much richer, more powerful apps than J2ME allows.
Android smartphones are based on an advanced form of Java, but they are not compatible with J2ME.
J2ME applications can provide specific functions such as a tip calulator, they can be games, or they can be custom-written corporate applications. They can be Internet-enabled, so that, for example, a J2ME game might let you play someone else in real time over the Internet. They can be created by anyone - not just the phone manufacturer or your carrier.
You can download new applications to your phone at any time. Most phones allow you to download new applications directly to your phone using the phone's Internet browser.
There are several alternatives to J2ME. In the US, a major directly competing technology is BREW.

It has to be said that all South East Asian food is quite similar. This isn't necessarily a bad thing as it also has to be said that all South East Asian food is quite tasty. Lao food resembles Thai food in particular. Rice (sticky) is served with most meals and there is a wide range of ingredients you can add to meals to liven the rice up.
Fresh food is very prominent in most dishes. Meats like chicken, beef and pork combine with coriander leaves, coconut milk and lemongrass and sometimes some sweet chilli sauce to produce many mouth watering delights.
Some specialities served around the country include làap, which is minced meat with chicken/fish mixed with lime juice and garlic, pa ling sousi haeng which is piquant fried catfish cooked with lime, coriander and spring onion leaves and nok kho hum sai kalampi which is braised quail with cabbage.
Larger cities such as Vientiane, Luang Prabang and Savannakhet have everything from top class restaurants to budget places. There is a particularly good selection of French restaurants in Vientiane. If you are on a tight budget noodle shops and food stalls are worth trying out, but be wary of the meat.

Rocking Music @ Local Restaurant
We had a birthday celebration to attend last week and a local restaurant had hosted the event for us. We were very impressed with everything and the subwoofer at musicians friend that they had bought. I've always loved good music at a restaurant when we are entertaining and this local restaurant definitely went beyond and above their call of duty to help us make the birthday of a young man really special. Food was great a well of course and the prices were decent and most importantly we all had a good time.

Written by Noam Shelef |
Government by Executing the MessengerBy Rachel Liel
Natan was fired not because anyone doubted his professionalism or his integrity. On the contrary, his research concerning migrants garnered praise and appreciation. And according to Natan, his supervisors knew and granted approval when he wrote opinion pieces unrelated to his research work. The sin Natan stands accused of is a "political slant" — laundered language veiling dissatisfaction with the criticisms implied by his research findings and with the way his personal opinions displeased those who are determined to please. Before Natan, it was Prof. Shlomo Yitzhaki, the government's Chief Statistician. He was fired by e-mail after he challenged the figures published by the Ministry of Finance and the privatization of the public's savings, calling that privatization the "Great Pension Robbery." And so with a quick e-mail, a news item and a half, and regrets from the Prime Minister over the method but not over the dismissal decision, the matter is behind us. One less subverter in our midst. And before Yitzhaki… Adar Cohen, the supervisor of civics studies at the Ministry of Education, who had no idea he was one of those subverters till he was fired — just like Gilad Natan — for a "political slant." Cohen had let through, heaven preserve us, material tinged with a critical hue: content that dealt with pluralistic democracy, human rights, and equality. Not on our watch. Despite the petitions and the newspaper articles, another messenger found himself sacrificed on the altar of loyalty to the regime. The next supervisor of civics studies presumably internalized the message. The same message was recently delivered to the ambassadors who represent Israel around the world, at their meeting with National Security Council head Yaakov Amidror. Legitimate questions raised by some of the ambassadors regarding the wisdom of Israel's political moves — including astonishment on the part of UN Ambassador Ron Prosor at the announcement of building in E1 — ran up against Amidror's statement that "whoever disagrees with the government's policy can resign or go into politics." In undiplomatic language, that's called stifling dissent. Thus the commander's spirit, hovering in the corridors of government, makes itself felt. The current regime does not tolerate criticism and brooks no departure from the official line whether in the context of research (Natan), of statistics (Yitzhaki), of content (Cohen), or of outreach (the ambassadors). The clear message is that everyone must speak in a single loyal and "patriotic" voice, and anyone daring to pursue their own professional truth to the limit is condemned to removal. As if that weren't enough, the custom of vengeance against the messenger is part of a broader and far more worrisome norm. The demand for an utterly obedient professional staff is merely part of how public discourse now suffers anti-democratic, nationalistic, and sometimes even racist erosion in the hands of extremist politicians and muffled journalists. The firing of Gilad Natan reminded us how fragile Israeli democracy is and how near the threats to it are approaching for everyone who believed they were safe. The writer serves as the New Israel Fund's Executive Director in Israel. This article was originally published by the Israeli news site Walla. |

- The average cost of a property in the priciest coastal area is now £570,378
- This is more than triple the average of £162,000 for an inland home
- Second home hunters have helped push up average prices from £121,237 to £197,938 in just a decade
They may boast views to die for and bracing fresh air, but the price tag on homes by the sea can be enough to make you choke, a report shows.
The average cost of a property in the priciest coastal area is now £570,378 – more than triple the average of £162,000, a survey by Halifax reveals.
Second home hunters have helped push up average prices from £121,237 to £197,938 in a decade – £35,000 more than the UK average, and a jump of more than 60 per cent.
Other towns in the top ten include Aldeburgh in Suffolk and the Cornish towns of St Mawes and Padstow – the latter made famous by Rick Stein's seafood restaurant.
Martin Ellis of Halifax said seaside towns offer a 'high quality of life and a healthy environment'.
'As a result, living by the coast can come at a price,' he added.
There are now about 305,000 second home owners in England, according to estate agent Knight Frank.

The practice has led many locals to fear their children will be priced out of the housing market by wealthy second home buyers, many of whom live and work in London.
A spokesman for the Campaign to Protect Rural England, said: 'These are eye-watering prices, stratospherically beyond the reach of anyone on average earnings.
'Only the very lucky few expect to live palatially in prime real estate along beautiful coasts with heart-stopping views.
'But we've now reached the point where too many people struggle to buy even a modest home.'
The ten least expensive seaside resorts are all in the North, in locations such as South Shields, Hartlepool, Blackpool and Withernsea.
The cheapest is Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, Northumberland, where a home can be bought for £81,442 – a seventh of the cost of a Salcombe property.
