Little Saigon in Abbotsford is about two kilometres of Vietnamese restaurants, karaoke bars and bootleg DVD shops. It's also home to the very swish, very aptly named The Aviary. Step inside, past the chesterfields and palms, and you'll be greeted with all the bird-related paraphernalia one could hope for. Bird cages, framed portraits of birds and porcelain birds hanging from the walls to be specific. If, for some reason, you have a morbid fear of things that fly and build nests in trees, you may want to give it a miss, or take a Valium. Cashed-up locals have certainly welcomed the Aviary to the neighbourhood. Aimed at an older, fashionable crowd with money to burn, the drinks menu at The Aviary is inspired. While all the usual cocktails are present and accounted for, the bar also has a full list of original concoctions. If you're feeling adventurous, then the Cracked Magpie will probably give you something to think about; it combines dark rum with Licor 43, lime juice, caramel, pineapple juice and cracked pepper. The wine list is also impressive and the imported beers go beyond the usual selection with ales from Italy, Spain and Costa Rico on hand. Mind you, $15 for China's TsingTao beer is a bit ambitious. Even if it is a longneck. Overpriced beer aside, The Aviary is a welcome addition to the neighbourhood. Housed in an old bluestone building and complimented with arched ceilings, a glistening bar and open booths, it's the kind of local every upwardly mobile professional wishes they had around the corner - a classy bar with its own distinct look. And let's not forget about all the culinary options outside: just the thing to soak up any excess alcohol.

Your files are important — that's why you're taking them with you. Flash Survivor USB 3.0 helps keep them safe. The anodized, aircraft-grade aluminum housing is waterproof to 200 meters, vibration-resistant, and shock-resistant.
If you move a lot of data, you've noticed that as convenient as flash drives are, they never seem to be as fast as you'd like. USB 3.0 changes the game. Flash Survivor USB 3.0 offers read speeds up to four times faster than traditional USB 2.0 drives. It's fast enough to view most videos directly from your Flash Survivor, without having to take the usual extra step of copying it to a hard drive first.
Not only is Flash Survivor USB 3.0 backward compatible with USB 2.0 — it offers great performance, too. No matter how up-to-date your PC is, you'll be able to quickly take care of moving your files and be off on your next adventure.
It works with Microsoft® Windows®, Mac OS X® and even Linux without drivers, and there's no software to install — just plug it in, and go. If your computer has a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 connector, you can use Flash Voyager USB 3.0.
With almost two decades of building enthusiast-grade memory and components, we've earned a reputation for quality, compatibility, and performance. Need help? We're available by phone call, email or web forum.
Note: Some of the listed capacity on a Flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data storage. The actual available capacity for data storage is less than what is listed on the products.
I remember that back in my grade school days, a field trip was a real treat. Even if the place we visited was not all that interesting, at least it was a day out of school. The best trips of course were those that were in fact fun and interesting.
With the holiday season approaching, I started thinking about the fact that I will soon become a Voyager as I go to visit family and friends. This reminded that I needed to plan ahead a bit if I intended to be a Survivor on my journeys.
In the past, before I had a gaming capable laptop, I remember being marooned at a relatives house with nothing to do while people slept off their holiday meals. I also remember thinking that it sure would be nice to have access to a computer and to my Steam account and be able to play my games. If you have a nice large flash drive, like a Flash Survivor® Stealth USB 3.0 or Flash Voyager® GT USB 3.0 then you have a solution that will fit into your shirt pocket!
Before I started overclocking I used to game every day, but eventually I started dedicating all of my hardware and time to extreme overclocking. With the launch of Battlefield 3 and our Vengeance gaming keyboards and mice I recently started to game again. I even started playing Counter Strike and a few other games too. During this gaming resurgance I again ran into an issue that always caused me trouble in the past. I am always changing PCs, reformatting, or changing hardware due to my extreme overclocking addiction. Because of this, I found that I rarely feel like re-installing my games so I can play them. In ordert to solve this issue I now install my games to a 64GB Flash Voyager GT USB 3.0 drive. With read speeds of 135MB/s and write speeds of 83MB/s it is more than fast enough to handle games.
I recently spent a week out in sunny Monterey, California for Corsair corporate training. It was great fun and it's always refreshing to see all the people in from around the globe that make Corsair great.
In the midst of all the grueling training sessions and team building activities, I actually stumbled across a great example of the practical advantages of one of our products. Benchmarks are great but an example of every day usage is even better in many cases. Here is how a USB 3.0 flash drive literally changed my life.
USB 3.0 is slowly but surely becoming the standard for new devices and is being implemented on a growing number of motherboards. Of course that means that we are increasing our offerings of USB 3.0 flash drives. Meet our fastest UFD, the Flash Voyager® GT USB 3.0 flash drive.

Some call this dish (pronounced pah-STEET-see-oh) the Greek lasagna. Our version was inspired by the pastitsio served at a popular Detroit-area Greek restaurant. We use elbow macaroni and kasseri cheese (similar to provolone in flavor, but milder with a slight buttery taste). Just like lasagna, this dish is easier to serve if it stands about 10 minutes after baking.

Glen Carlou is situated in the heart of South Africa's scenic Paarl Valley. The warm, dry summers and cold, wet winters of this area combine with an exciting variety of slopes and the riches of the soils to create unique winegrowing conditions. Glen Carlou was established in 1985 and since 2003 has been successfully owned and run by Hess Family Estates. The winery is dedicated to sustainable farming. They boast a strong element of the group's philosophy of 'being custodians of the land and preserving it for future generations'. Their approach is clearly one of not manipulating, but rather farming in harmony with Nature. Glen Carlou's worldwide reputation for quality wines has been built on the mission of delivering handcrafted wines reflecting their distinctive soils. The Integrity & Sustainability seal is the result of collaboration between the Wine & Spirits Board, IPW, as well as the Biodiversity & Wine Initiative (BWI) and Wines of South Africa (WOSA) with the generic marketing body responsible for the worldwide launch of the concept as part of its Brand South Africa campaign. Together these organizations are driving the South African wine industry's commitment to sustainable eco-friendly production. They're not just advocating green, they are practicing it! The South Africa wine industry launched the world's first sustainability seal as a guarantee of eco-friendly production. Issued by the Wine and Spirit Board, the seal intended for bottled wines only and is backed by a sophisticated tracking system in which the bottle contents can be traced back to source at every stage of the supply chain to confirm the integrity of their production. Glen Carlou has qualified to use this seal, effective from the 2010 harvest, as they have successfully obtained accreditation of the Integrated Production of Wine (IPW) set of principles at farm, winery and bottling levels. IPW covers a range of issues such as integrated pest management, the health of workers, the conservation of biodiversity and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Fermented in French oak barrels and matured for ten months, this wine rewards your palate with rich well-rounded fruity flavors that is harmoniously balanced with well-integrated oak. It is a sure fire winner with scallops in a tomato concasse. August Limited Series Newsletter (.pdf)

Bard Friedel misses first Premier League game since 2004 as Hugo Lloris starts for Tottenham Hotspur against Aston Villa
3:12pm Sunday 7th October 2012 in Spurs By Anthony Matthews, Group Sports Editor
Brad Friedel's remarkable run of consecutive Premier League starts is over after Andre Villas-Boas has opted to give Hugo Lloris his top-flight debut for Spurs' clash with Aston Villa this afternoon.
Friedel has made 310 unbroken appearances since he last failed to start a Premier League match in May 2004 and he was expected to return between the posts after Lloris started Thursday night's 1-1 draw with Panathinaikos in the Europa League. However, Villas-Boas has kept faith with the French international in a side that shows two other changes.
William Gallas returns in place of Michael Dawson in defence, while Sandro gets the nod over Tom Huddlestone in the centre of the park for the game at White Hart Lane.
Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris; Walker, Vertonghen, Gallas, Caulker; Lennon, Sandro, Dembele, Bale; Dempsey, Defoe. Substitutes: Friedel, Huddlestone, Adebayor, Dawson, Sigurdsson, Falque, Townsend.
Aston Villa: Guzan; Bennett, Vlaar, Clark, Lowton; Albrighton, Delph, Holman, El Ahmadi; Agbonlahor, Benteke. Substitutes: Given, Bent, N'Zogbia, Westwood, Bannan, Weimann, Lichaj.

When we checked in I noticed... 2012 and 2013 service excellence awards up on the wall. They seem to be well deserved as the room we were allocated was immaculately clean , huge compared to what I had expected and the facilities were great. There was air con - 3 TVs with digital channels - kitchen was fully equipped - a juccuzzi bath and a lovely patio overlooking the golf course with loungers. автор: Dawn от Sutton; дата: 27/08/2013

Football Experiences in Thailand
As mentioned on last week's show I've just had a rather pleasant two weeks in Thailand. Like most of South east Asia it has a huge football fanbase (the sport vies for most popular along with Muay Thai boxing, a martial art that would make Simon Head quiver behind his UFC bed spread) and as such the sport is pretty prevalent in the country in the form of TV coverage, replica shirts and merchandise. But the Thai people indulge their passion for the beautiful in different ways to your average bloke in Northwich, Medway or Lancing…
We'll start with the sweets…those lovely sweets that I brought back with me only to have them shunned by the rest of the Pubcasters. There were the referee whistlepops, horribly sweet and making a very poor whistling noise, and there were the marshmallow Man Utd players…where to start on those? Apart from the fact that they tasted like a packet of Canderel crammed into a sponge and looked rather bizarre they were quite nice. Oh, and they were made in Sidcup, so quite why the people of Ko Tao (an island of around 1,000 people) had them shipped over I'm not sure.
When you're out and about in Thailand you'll probably see a plethora of replica (and not always authentic) shirts. The four biggest teams in terms of fanbase are seemingly Man Utd, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona, with Chelsea also growing in popularity, but they're by no means the be all and end all. I saw a few Arsenal shirts, a couple of Everton shirts, Inter and AC Milan and even an Ivory Coast shirt. There were no signs of Man City shirts, possibly due to the uneasy relationship (to say the least) between the much loved Thai Royal Family and former Premier (and Man City owner) Thaksin Shinawatra but more likely due to City being a tiny, tiny club…
However the most bizarre shirt I saw in Thailand however was the first thing that greeted me at Bangkok Airport…The duty free shopping at Bangkok is run by a company called "King Power"…as in the "King Power Stadium"…as in the owners of Leicester City. As such, each terminal has a few sports shops (and you'd be surprised how many there are, the shops repeat themselves with the frequency of a background from an episode of "The Flintstones") and each one of these have what I would describe as a "Leicester City" annex. You can buy home and away shirts, leisurewear, caps, footballs, DVDs (they were showing Leicester 1-1 Birmingham on loop…) and other collected tat and, bafflingly, it didn't seem to be selling very well. Still, somewhere in Koh Phi Phi there's probably a little kid who idolizes Neil Danns.
Beer is one of the best things about a short holiday in Thailand (apart from, y'know, the culture and natural beauty and that…) and inevitably its almost synonymous with football. There's three (authentically Thai) beers on the market and one of them, Leo, doesn't seem to be so popular (which is strange as its rather palatable). In the white and brown corner you have Singha…the official beer partner (in Thailand at least) of Manchester United and Chelsea.
At the moment Chelsea players are plastered all over their cans (it makes drinking beer difficult when you have to wrap your lips around John Terry's face) while Man Utd seem to be all over the promotional hoardings outside bars (it makes drinking beer difficult when you have Wayne Rooney gurning down at you). There was also a lovely promotional video on my flight from Bangkok to Koh Samui with Edwin van der Sar, Gary Neville, Ji-Sung Park and Ryan Giggs extolling the virtues of Singha. Given that three of the four have now departed and Ryan Giggs didn't play last night I guess we can't blame that for the woeful performance.
In the green and gold corner you have Chang; 6.4%, can lead to hallucinations…lovely stuff. You probably know Chang as the sponsors of Everton, but surprisingly Phil Neville and Leon Osman are shunned when it comes to promotional material in favour of the Spanish heavyweights…Barcelona and Real Madrid. Funny that.
Leaving Thailand has left me torn on the globalization of football. On one hand I was delighted to be able to speak the universal language of "Manchester…Wayne Rooney!" and sample the delights of marshmallow footballers. On the other I struggled to imagine the people in this tropical paradise having any sort of connection with the people of Salford or Anfield or Fulham. Still…Leicester City, big in Thailand…maybe they'd stand a fair chance at success if they moved there.

Populist movements, including the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street, are examples of a growing frustration with the American system. Luigi Zingales, an economics professor at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, says American capitalism, and by extension democracy, is in decline because big business interests have become entrenched in Washington. In A Capitalism for the People: Recapturing the Lost Genius of American Prosperity, the pro-market economist argues that the current decline is reflective of the "crony capitalism" found in his native Italy, and he provides solutions for restoring America's political and economic institutions. Zingales recently spoke to U.S. News about what's behind the events that have angered Americans of all political stripes and what he says can be done about it. Excerpts:
Is America still a capitalist country?
Definitely. The question is which type of capitalism, and I always thought that the United States had a very special brand of capitalism that was different than the one prevailing in most of the world, which is kind of a crony capitalism.
What makes American capitalism special?
A unique combination of broad popular support for the idea of a free market that made it more difficult for the political system to interfere with daily business life, and even for business to be so influential in determining the political outcomes.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the economy.]
And what is crony capitalism?
It's a system that is designed by and run for a small elite group of people rather than people at large. I think that the notion of a government of the people, for the people, by the people is not just rhetoric. It's an important element of American democracy, which is not true in much of the world. And the same can be said of the economic system.
What's so great about capitalism?
I think that the great idea behind the capitalist system that goes back to Adam Smith is that competition can transform the pursuit of self-interest to the creation of common good. And this is true only if we have a very competitive economy and if the government does not distort this economy to the benefit of the few. So one thing that my book wants to achieve is to explain to people that being pro-market doesn't necessarily mean being pro-business. This distinction has been lost since.
[Read more Book Club interviews by subscribing to U.S. News Weekly.]
How was the distinction lost?
A huge factor has been the fact that the Democratic Party became more pro-business. In the '70s, when the Democratic Party was really anti-business, [it] was keeping the Republicans in check. Now they both compete for business support and business money. And it's a race to the bottom.
Is this an inevitable development in a capitalist society?
I don't think it's inevitable. If you would look at the United States at the turn of the 19th to 20th century, you would have made the same conclusion that it was inevitable. You had businessmen like Rockefeller that were running the show, and there was a sense of disenfranchisement of the average American. And there were a lot of reports about how the Senate was completely corrupt. And there was a populist revolt against that that led to what we now know as Progressive Era legislation that really improved the way capitalism was run. And I think America became a better place.
[See a collection of political cartoons on Occupy Wall Street.]
What's the problem with public-private partnerships?
The problem is that business is very successful in channeling taxpayers' money to their own interest and is particularly good at doing that when this enterprise is covered by an image of doing good work. There is always a need for a sort of intellectual cover and the better the intellectual cover is the more dangerous the process is.
What's an example of such a partnership?
There is a very long list. Fannie and Freddie is an example of this. And the very idea of bailing out large corporations is, in a sense, an example because you portray this as a social goal—we don't want to create a financial collapse—but the reality is we are protecting the interest of the few at the expense of the many.
What can be done to remedy these developments?
Lobbying today is basically the highest return activity that any business has. And so how do you reduce that? I think that one way is to reduce the amount of money that the government allocates, at least in a discretionary way, including, for example, the possibility of tax favor treatment. I think that we all have our favorite tax deductions and tax loopholes. Once you open the door for one, there is no limit and you can't stop. So the only solution is zero. The only defensible line is to go to zero tax deductions and zero tax loopholes. That's the way you really eradicate the return to lobbying.

In a world beset with cultural clashes, misunderstandings and invisible ghettoes, stories keep connecting us across worlds, across words. Women have always been great storytellers in my country, and yet the written culture is still "a man's world". Why do fewer women write even though they compose the majority of fiction readers today? How can stories connect us a

Ariel Castro apparently hanged himself in his prison cell Tuesday night, one month into the life-plus-1,000-years sentence he received for kidnapping three Cleveland women and holding them captive for a decade. Though Castro was in protective custody, which meant that somebody checked on him every 30 minutes, he was still able to commit suicide without anybody noticing. In a post for Slate, Josh Voorhees noted that "the most obvious question now facing prison officials is how the 53-year-old managed to hang himself while in protective custody." It might be an obvious question, but it's not an unfamiliar one. Prisoners commit suicide all the time - and corrections officials are hard-pressed to stop it.
In a recent report on mortality rates behind bars, the Bureau of Justice Statistics found that suicide was by far the largest single cause of death in local jails from 2000 to 2011. (The suicide stats were much lower for state prisons during that same timespan, but, even so, a state prison inmate was about three times more likely to die from suicide than from homicide.) Most of these suicides were hangings. But unlike a gallows, which will snap your neck and kill you quickly, prison hangings are often drawn-out affairs in which the inmate maintains contact with the ground and slowly asphyxiates to death. Theoretically, many of these suicides could have been prevented if corrections officials would have noticed them in time. But America's jails and prisons are overcrowded and understaffed, and consequently there is much that goes unnoticed.
While a suicide watch will reduce the risk that a given inmate will kill himself, it can't eliminate that risk entirely. As Daniel Engber wrote for Slate in 2005, in many states, a suicide watch basically means that corrections officials put the prisoner in an observation room and visit him at random intervals to make sure he is still alive. The prisoner is often watched by closed-circuit camera, too, but cameras sometimes have blind spots, and the footage is not always monitored closely. In acute cases, suicide watches can involve 24-hour in-person surveillance, but that's too expensive to maintain indefinitely.
Could better technology help jails and prisons prevent more inmate suicides? In a recent report sponsored by the National Institute of Justice, researchers from GE described a prototype Doppler radar-based alert system that could help "indicate a suicide attempt in-progress by observing and interpreting motion related to heartbeat, breathing, and limb movement." The system would be installed in jail cells, and when it detected physiological responses to asphyxiation - "spontaneous gasping, struggling associated with the mental anguish of oxygen starvation (dyspnea), and sudden changes to or absence of heartbeat and breath" - it would alert corrections personnel, who would then come and revive the inmate.
I don't know whether this Doppler system is truly effective, although GE's initial tests seem promising. But I do think these sorts of technological solutions are worth exploring in greater depth, because people who want to stop suicide behind bars need all the help they can get.

World Affairs Journal, September/October 2011
September 29, 2011
by Hillel Fradkin
Lewis Libby
More than forty years ago, then National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger revealed the Nixon administration's strategy to expel Soviet influence from the Middle East. The Vietnam War had bled America's international standing, but Kissinger aimed to show key Middle Eastern states that, despite Soviet military strength, Moscow could neither help friends nor punish enemies, leaving America as the only country that could achieve important regional ends.
To a considerable extent, Kissinger's strategy worked. But today, our adversaries have renewed hopes of expelling the United States from the Middle East. They hope to show that now it is America that will not support friends, punish enemies, or achieve our aims. For the first time since World War II, they have some reason to expect success.
Taken together, these trends have called into question a number of strategic concepts on which American diplomacy in the Middle East has rested for decades:
A merican strategists face a changed landscape: our ties have eroded with states that once supported much of our agenda. Turkey, once a reliable NATO ally firmly tied to the West, has steadily shifted toward a Muslim-centric orientation. Increasingly embracing Iran, Turkish diplomacy now regularly thwarts our major initiatives: countering Iran's nuclear ambitions and quieting Israeli-Palestinian discord. A recent poll revealed that a large plurality (forty-two percent) of Turks now regard the US as Turkey's greatest enemy.
Meanwhile, spreading uprisings against exploitive regimes have toppled or crippled regional leaders who had once supported, or at least reached accommodation with, US leadership. Ironically, the revolts in the Arab world have proved most fatal to those leaders who were least willing to respond with deadly force—that is, those on whom Western influence could exert a restraining hand. Friendly leaders in Tunisia and Egypt departed quickly. Egypt's post-Mubarak foreign minister now echoes Iran's call for relations between Egypt and Iran, severed in 1979, to be restored. Iranian warships now transit the Suez Canal, entering the Mediterranean in an unprecedented signal of the regime's new confidence and power. While Egypt's Western orientation may survive the dramatic changes of recent weeks for now, the long-term prospects are unclear.
Similarly, long-term US allies in the Gulf are under new pressures, and these also have opened fissures with the US. America has differed with the Sunni monarchy in Bahrain, which hosts the US Fifth Fleet, over efforts to quell unrest among its Shiite majority. Fearing the spread of Iranian and Shiite influence, Saudi Arabia and its fellow members of the Gulf Cooperation Council sent troops to help Bahrain's King Hamad, a step taken without the approval of, and with little advance notice to, the United States, creating a divide between the US and the Saudis, its oldest ally in the region. Nawaf Obeid, a leading analyst close to the Saudi government, describes Saudi Arabia's independent course as a "tectonic shift in the U.S.-Saudi relationship" in which "Riyadh intends to pursue a much more assertive foreign policy, at times conflicting with American interests."
Libya and Yemen, regimes with which the US had reached accommodations on weapons of mass destruction and the fight against Islamist terror, have also become destabilized. Muammar Qaddafi's legacy has long been written in blood, and Yemen's President Saleh has been an uncertain ally; but until a few months ago, their removal was not on our crowded strategic agenda. Soon, hurriedly improvising, we wanted them gone.
The long-suffering peoples of the Middle East should live in freedom; but whether they will preserve it if it comes, and whether they will accommodate our interests in the long run, are new mysteries in a region from which American influence, for now, is becoming increasingly untethered.
Around the year 1000, the great Islamic theologian Ibn Hazm wrote, "If you treat your friend and enemy the same, you will arouse distaste for your friendships and contempt for your enmities, and you will not be long for this world." This test, oft-cited in the Islamic world to this day, is one that the US is now widely thought to be failing.
Many were perplexed when President Obama, in one of his first acts, suggested that an opened hand to Iran would unclench the regime's fists. Apologizing for America's role in a 1953 coup, he overlooked the misdeeds of the regime since 1979. Vainly hoping for engagement, he stood quiet as President Ahmadinejad ruthlessly suppressed the Iranian dissidents who contested his fraudulent reelection. "Obama," the youth in the street chanted desperately, "are you with us or with them?" When, amid growing criticism of his timidity, the president at last spoke out against the violence, the taint of irresolution and calculation sapped the strength of his words.
While Israeli computer sabotage may have delayed Iran's nuclear program, America's diplomacy of openness has had no visible effect. Soon after the attack, the IAEA declared the centrifuges spinning again, as the Iranian opposition revealed new secret nuclear facilities.
Nor has the Obama administration forcefully supported its friends. The region watched America do little as the government of Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri, friendly to Western interests, fell in 2010 to Hezbollah, a tool of Iran and its proxy Syria. In fact, America had stood by for several years as Hezbollah systematically reduced Hariri's allies, convincing them that America had lost the will for this battle. To add insult to injury—no small matter in a region obsessed by honor—Hezbollah deposed Hariri while he was meeting President Obama in the Oval Office. To either insult or injury, America had no response.
No people in the region had staked more on America than the Iraqis who stood for democratic government and defied Iran. But as a candidate, Obama had declared the war lost even as the surge was turning it around. As president, too, his theme has been withdrawal. Determined to be quit of this conflict, whatever his caveats, he made it clear that time, more than success, would mark the end of America's role. The region saw that, even in this land of vast energy reserves and geostrategic importance, President Obama had little taste to stay a course that could stabilize Iraq.
Still, by the fall of 2010, there was an Arab leader by whom the Obama administration comfortably stood: President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt. In one of his first acts as chief executive, the president had travelled to Cairo in 2009 to deliver a speech seeking truce with the Islamic world. Of the few paragraphs on democracy, one apologized for imposing it in Iraq, although his Egyptian audience that day could only dream of casting such votes. After Cairo, President Obama slashed the Bush budget to promote democracy in Egypt and, by September 2011, hosted Mubarak in the White House, a gesture of support that Bush had long refused.
So President Obama had been neither the instigator nor the champion of those students who first seized Cairo's Tahrir Square. Initially, his administration supported Mubarak; but as a stubborn opposition swelled, the US asserted that Mubarak should move on—emphatically "now" or "yesterday," taking a harder line than it had when Iran was murdering its students. The clumsy US role in Mubarak's exit, however overdue it was, suggested to regional observers that our policy was determined by an eagerness to bend to whatever faction seemed likely to prevail.
In the Libyan phase of the rolling Arab revolts, we have explicitly rejected a leadership role. Events there led Obama's deputy national security adviser to explain that the administration has "a different conception of US leadership. . . . We believe leadership should galvanize an international response." But the region knew that it was France and Britain, not the US, that galvanized this response. Where we claimed "leadership," regional observers saw a reluctance to lead.
As Arabs took to the streets, our chief concern often seemed limited to decrying violence on any side. This has been perhaps most stark in Syria, a regime that we unaccountably saw as capable of advancing our interests even though it has placed itself at Iran's right hand and thwarted US policy repeatedly. As Syria has violently attacked its citizens, President Obama sternly condemned violence by both President Assad and protesters. The odd result: Assad would be targeted by US sanctions, Syrian protesters by Syrian bullets.
As the Arab revolt progressed, President Obama declared that, "No one can say for certain how this change will end, but I do know that change is not something we should fear." Earlier, a US official had characterized the administration's reaction more candidly: "It's a roll of the dice, but it's also a response to reality." President Obama may hope that such rhetoric carries an implication of shrewd calculation, but the administration cannot long disguise that bad outcomes to this gamble are at least as likely as good ones.
Henry Kissinger advanced, but did not invent, the notion that America had compelling interests in the Middle East; events and subsequent presidents—including post–Cold War presidents—have steered America to take on an ever larger role. Earlier, our role derived from Cold War rivalry; later, from the dysfunctional politics of the region and its incapacity to address them itself. It was the latter that produced, since 1990, our deepest involvement.
While the Obama administration has sought to reduce America's profile in the region, it has articulated at least four objectives that it still considers crucial: defeating al-Qaeda and preventing further attacks by it on the American homeland; settling the Israeli-Palestinian dispute to reduce regional anger against us; stopping the proliferation of nuclear weapons; and deterring threats to energy flows.
Unfortunately, the factors contributing to ongoing changes in the region, including more assertive Islamist parties, fraying US alliances, and the growing perception that America lacks the will to shape the Middle East, have so far pushed the administration's objectives farther from reach. Bleaker prospects loom:
These and other difficulties America faces in the region, President Obama noted in his most recent address on the Middle East (in May 2011), reflect in part regional leaders' tendencies to blame their societies' ills on Western colonialism. Yet in his 2009 Cairo speech, the president sought a "new beginning" with the Muslim world in part because of tensions "fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations." And as American combat troops left Iraq, President Obama described them as leaving in the dead of night, an image of shame, while America, he said, dwelt in the "pre-dawn" hours. America's day would come, he seemed to be saying, only when we were altogether quit of that land.
In fact, observers such as Leon Wieseltier have described Obama administration policies as the reflex of a president haunted by charges of American imperialism, charges that have been levied against the US in the Middle East for the last fifty years.
Fair-minded people might question the assumption that the US has a legacy of shame in the Middle East. While acting in our interests, we have also regularly helped peoples of this region. But the issue for the moment is not whether America deserves the charges levied against it, but how the region will react if it perceives that we are constrained by them. Those in the region who must chart their future course will weigh the strength and constancy of ours. Practical men, they will consider our self-interest as the surest rock upon which our policy, and their security, might be built. If they perceive that we shrink from our own interests, they will neither value them nor feel that they can rely on us. Then we will have very little influence left in a region that presidents of both parties have long considered vital.
President Obama's recent address on the Middle East is unlikely to dispel a perception of American drift. It offered little more than the promise to support whatever changes the protests might bring about, and offered nothing new on the broader regional challenges that bedevil us. He has now endorsed a freedom agenda much like President Bush's, which he had previously disdained; but he brings less fervor to it. He noted that Middle Eastern leaders often deflect their people with criticism of Israel; but then he concluded his speech calling for bolder Israeli action and reversing earlier American positions on Israeli-Palestinian borders, a stance reminiscent of his earlier thrust and retreat on Israeli settlements that had derailed peace talks. His promises of regional economic support won little acclaim; the region has long since passed expectations that American aid will transform it.
Ghaith al-Omari, an Arab analyst, observed that "it's become fashionable to 'dis' the Americans. The prevalent mood now is to say that the United States is no longer relevant." No one policy brought us to this point. No one policy will reverse the impressions we have made. Meanwhile, our remorseless adversaries wake each morning keen to push us aside. If we allow their hour to come, the uncertainties and problems of tomorrow will dwarf those of today. Ultimately, we may be forced once again to take aggressive action that might otherwise have been avoided, or have come at a lesser cost.

This is an excellent place to shoot photos. It can be a little crowded at times, but the best time is as the sun is setting and the light in gatlinburg are starting to show.
This is an excellent place to shoot photos. It can be a little crowded at times, but the best time is as the sun is setting and the light in gatlinburg are starting to show.
This is by far one of the most beautiful times of the year in the Great Smokey Mountains. I highly suggest a day trip on highway 441 from Gatlinburg to Clingman's Dome.
So many beautiful places to visit it is difficult to choose. The views are wonderful and every one worthy of stopping to take pictures. Lots of wheelchair areas and paths in this area and lots of benches to stop and rest for us older folks.
The drive up was beautiful, and the view was very pretty too. Would be especially pretty in th fall.
Just a breathtaking view. We went to quite a few areas and none disappointed. We took some selfies and it's just gorgeous with the mountains behind us
Opportunities for really great photos here. At times can be a little crowded but it is worth the wait. Gives you a birds eye view of some pretty amazing sites.
Words can't describe the view from here. It is awesome. You can see for miles, mountain tops houses on mountain sides. Also you can see things you may want to go back and visit at a later time. A must see
It was very pretty. Amazing overlook of the mountains. Its a definitely a must go. Worth going to see.
This overlook is on the bypass which will save you a lot of time if your heading to the smokie mountains from pigeon forge area. The overview of gatlinburg is best on clear days around sunset.
Although Gatlinburg TN is probably one of the most beautiful places to stay, not sure I could recommend at New Years. I wasn't aware that this time of year was one of the most busiest. We were told to take a back way ino town because from the highway to town, which is probably 30 miles would have taken 3... More

We purchase herbs and spices out of fascination or to follow a fresh recipe, but once we've cooked it, we simply let the herbs wilt and the spices end up as decorations. The common Filipino food recipe isn't really adept with employing herbs and spices. Afterall, the Filipino dishes only need the standard pepper, salt, plus some dried bay leaf. Sometimes, we may stumbled upon a spicy variety that needs a bit of chili, but practically nothing else.
To get to understand how to use spices and herbs, we must first understand the taste sensations in our mouths. You will find traditionally four taste sensations- salty, sweet, sour and bitter. Lately, a 5th sensation has been proven to exist – umami.
Sweetness this is probably the most recognizable of all sensations. It delivers a wellness to the mouth and solves hunger. In comparison, saltiness improves flavor and whets the appetite – great example, potato chips. Sourness cheers up a recipe and reduces oil and fat, and bitterness cleans the palate and helps make us reduce our appetite due to its connection to issues that are upsetting. Umami is natural, and mouth-filling – savory or malinamnam. It's included in tomato paste, cheese and mushrooms.
"When combining our spices, we must make an effort to obtain a balance in each one of these taste sensations," states Steph, as she is fondly called by her students in her weekly MEK classes. "For instance, the classic Filipino adobo is really a staple in each and every home and restaurant because it stabilizes sweetness, saltiness and sourness in one dish." We must also keep in mind that the fundamental tastes contribute just partially in the sensation and flavour of food. Other issues to consider are fragrance, consistency and temperature.
Travelling With Spices
Different herbs and spices are related to different major regions and cultures. Thailand, India and Morocco are countries with dishes made distinct by their application of herbs and spices.

Steven Horwitz has an essay up at Cato protesting that, contrary to common perception, "modern" Austrian economics is actually very empirical. Much of his argument stems from his treatment of economic history as being a sub-set of economics, in stark contrast to Mises' position that,"There is economics and there is economic history. The two must never be confused."
For example, Horwitz points to several instances of Austrian-influenced scholars working in economic history (which of course is empirical) as evidence that "modern" Austrian economists resort to empiricism a great deal (as if there was ever a time when Austrian scholars did not use empirical evidence in their efforts to study economic history).
In his discussion of the history of thought, Horwitz does make one rather good point:
"Despite the impression that one might get from reading some Austrians, Mises's term "praxeology" was not intended to be a "method" for economists."
I agree with this. Also, I brought this up with David Gordon at Mises University, and he agrees too. "Praxeology" itself should not be confused with the distinctive "praxeological method". Praxeology is a science with a distinctive method; it is not itself a method or methodology. Moreover, it is not an approach to economics; it is a science that includes economics.
But unfortunately, right after accurately clarifying what Mise' did not intend with the term "praxeology", he gets entirely wrong what he claims that Mises did intend:
"Instead, that term, which has roots in the Greek for "action," described a field of study. That field comprised all the "sciences of human action,"…."
This is simply incorrect. Mises wrote, "There are two main branches of the sciences of human action: praxeology and history." For Mises, praxeology is one of the sciences of human action, and history is another science of human action. Praxeology does not include "all" of the sciences of human action.
Horwitz then writes,
"So what today we would call economics, political science, anthropology, and sociology would all fall in this group…"
This too is incorrect. Of those, only economics is classed by Mises as a branch of praxeology. Mises wrote (emphasis added):
"History is the collection and systematic arrangement of all thedata of experience concerning human action. (…) It is on the one hand general history and on the other hand the history of various narrower fields. There is the history of political and military action, of ideas and philosophy, of economic activities, of technology, of literature, art, and science, of religion, of mores and customs, and of many other realms of human life. There is ethnology and anthropology, as far as they are not a part of biology, and there is psychology as far as it is neither physiology nor epistemology nor philosophy. There is linguistics as far as it is neither logic nor the physiology of speech."
And then in a footnote:
"Economic history, descriptive economics, and economic statistics are, of course, history. The term sociology is used in two different meanings. Descriptive sociology deals with those historical phenomena of human action which are not viewed in descriptive economics; it overlaps to some extent the field claimed by ethnology and anthropology. General sociology, on the other hand, approaches historical experience from a more nearly universal point of view than that of the other branches of history. History proper, for instance, deals with people or with a certain geographical area. Max Weber in his main treatise deals with the town in general, i.e., with the whole historical experience concerning towns without any limitation to historical periods, geographical areas, or individual peoples, nations, races, and civilizations."
Horwitz also writes:
"Some Austrians argue as if one can deduce all of economics in one's armchair, but Mises was pretty clear that this core of economics was fairly limited."
This, again, is wrong. Mises wrote that, "All the concepts and theorems of praxeology are implied in the category of human action." Not just a "limited core", but all of praxeology, which includes all of economics, is "implied in the category of human action." This would explain why, according to Percy Greaves, one of Mises' closest friends:
"Mises used to say that all a good economist needed was some sound ideas, writing materials, an armchair, and a waste basket."
Horwitz tries to support his characterization of Mises' position:
"He points out that even the notion that labor is unpleasant is not part of that core, but rather an auxiliary assumption we make based on observation. So too is the existence of things like money. When the economist goes to analyze the world, the core toolkit that comes only from reflection on action is a rather small set of basic propositions. Most of the interesting work in economics is institutionally contingent. For example, even if we recognize the importance of being able to engage in economic calculation, our ability to do so effectively depends upon the set of institutions in the economy under analysis. Moving from what Carl Menger called "exact laws" or pure theory, to applied theory means we must include the human beliefs and social institutions of the empirical world."
This would seem to imply that, for example, the theory of indirect exchange is not part of the "core toolkit" of pure theory, but is rather applied theory. This, of course, is incorrect. Horwitz's error is to think that, if you introduce assumptions to your theorizing because of experience, that makes the result "empirical" or "applied theory". But that is not the case. For the truth of a theory, it makes no difference why it was constructed the way it was (that is to say, why it includes the assumptions it does). A self-contained theorem is true or false based on its logical structure, regardless of whether the assumptions are introduced because of experience, because of pure fancy, or for any other reason.
The theory of indirect exchange is pure, aprioristic theory, not applied theory. We choose to formulate it, because we observe that indirect exchange is part of the world around us. We take the effort to formulate it, because we want to later apply it to economic history. But the theory itself is true independent of experience. Whether it is applicable to any given experience is another question. It only becomes "applied theory" when it is applied to particular historical episodes.
Again, Mises:
"But the end of science is to know reality. It is not mental gymnastics or a logical pastime. Therefore praxeology restricts its inquiries to the study of acting under those conditions and presuppositions which are given in reality. It studies acting under unrealized and unrealizable conditions only from two points of view. It deals with states of affairs which, although not real in the present and past world, could possibly become real at some future date. And it examines unreal and unrealizable conditions if such an inquiry is needed for a satisfactory grasp of what is going on under the conditions present in reality.
However, this reference to experience does not impair the aprioristic character of praxeology and economics. Experience merely directs our curiosity toward certain problems and diverts it from other problems. It tells us what we should explore, but it does not tell us how we could proceed in our search for knowledge."

I am surprised he didn´t have stuff like that locked up in a safe.
The concept of wealth distribution is not so clear to some.........it means that the GOVERNMENT can steal from the ´rich´, not open season on everybody.......But expect more of this all over America.
Where is Sandy Berger?
Payback for F&F investigations, or a warning to not continue????
Holder just taking a little going away gift for himself.
No mention of surveillance equipment, but with that kind of wealth, I would be surprised if they don´t have some good pictures of the perps. And I would not be at all surprised if they are connected with Holder in some way.
Exactly right #4.
That kind of jewelry should be in a safe deposit box not in the home. You can get jewelry insurance that is in force only when you take the pieces out to wear. Of course he may have had it all insured, but if these were heirlooms they can´t be replaced so shouldn´t be left where they can be stolen. Not smart to do whether you live in CA or Iowa, or SC.
I smell a rat, democRat that is.
C´mon. If he left it at home he didn´t need it . . . Did he?
Is this a statist attempt to intemidate him? How low can dem pols go?
Didn´t he have an alarm? He made his money on car alarms!
Get a webcam and software that emails you when there is a break in. I have one that sends video, still photos and email. Price under $300
We have alarm system, bolted safe, leave on lights and radios when we leave, and we´re putting in cameras with DVR and Internet access as we speak. Oh, and we´re big fans of Dirty Harry, hint hint. Not much else you can do. Feel for Issa but you have to lock up everything these days... wonder if this was a message from O?
I bet the posters on Huffpo and Daily Beast are saying he deserved it.
And possibly the jewelry theft is a distraction and something else was being looked for to blackmail/intimidate Issa - Of course the break-in itself could be the intimidation. Who knows?
To #1 and others, the article doesn´t say whether they were locked up or not. Shouldn´t assume he didn´t. Safes and security systems, though helpful, will only delay, not stop a skilled and determined burglar.
Watergate started with a small burglary also.I smell a DemoRat.
I suspect the jewels were taken as a way to cover up the real purpose of the break-in. As others noted, it sounds like a professional break-in given the likelihood of locks and alarms. They were probably looking for something damaging on Issa to blackmail him with and just took the jewels to cover their tracks.
