File - Retired Internal Security Forces chief Maj. Gen. Ashraf Rifi.
BEIRUT: Senior Hezbollah security official Wafiq Safa met with Justice Minister Ashraf Rifi to congratulate him on his appointment and to "restore" communication channels.
"The meeting with Safa was in the framework of restoring contacts that already existed [with Hezbollah] for the protection of Lebanon," Rifi told reporters at Baabda Palace after Cabinet's first session Tuesday.
Rifi also said he discussed with Safa "the possibility of removing any illegitimate checkpoints from the the Arsal-Labweh road," apparently referring to checkpoints established by Hezbollah on the east Lebanon road after several deadly bombings nearby targeting predominantly-Shiite towns in the northern Bekaa.
A media report, published by Al-Akhbar daily, said the meeting was held on Monday morning at Rifi's residence in Ashrafieh.
It was attended by in the head of the Internal Security Forces Information Branch, Col. Imad Othman, and ISF Operations Room Chief Col. Hussam al-Tannoukhi.
Safa also reportedly contacted newly-appointed Interior Minister Nouhad Machnouk to congratulate him.
The report described the meeting as "positive" and characterized it as a "continuation of the successful Cabinet formation process."
Rifi has repeatedly voiced criticism of Hezbollah, while the March 8 alliance, for its part, rejected a proposal that would have seen Rifi take over as interior minister.
Prime Minister Tammam Salam announced a 24-member Cabinet of national interest Saturday.

TLC Star Says Transgender People Are Child Predators
BTL Staff
Originally printed 8/22/2014 (Issue 2234 - Between The Lines News)
ARKANSAS - The City Council of Fayetteville, Arkansas will consider a new non-discrimination ordinance protecting the rights of LGBT against discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity socioeconomic background, martial status or veteran status.
However, Michelle Duggar, the matriarch of TLC's "19 Kids and Counting," recently released mother-to-be, claims that the bill will allow men to use women's and girls' bathrooms, locker rooms and showers and goes onto claim that all transgender women are predators.
"Males with past child predator convictions that claim they are females," Duggar said, will enter these private female areas.
She goes on to discredit the gender identity of the transgender community in Arkansas.
"We should never place the preference of an adult over the safety and innocence of a child," Duggar said in a call released on soundcloud. "Women and other little girls deserve to use the restroom and locker room in peace and safety," Duggar said.
Baptist Church pastor Jeremy Flanagan also spoke out against the ordinance claiming that it would allow women to go topless at public swimming areas and he "doesn't want to explain that to my nine-year-old."
Alerman Matthew Petty, the nondiscrimination bill's author, told the Fayetteville Flyer that opponents are "spreading this misinformation because they are skilled political strategists and they believe it is an effective proxy for their bigotry."
City Attorney Kit Williams also responded saying that transgender people "deserve to have the ability to use the bathroom in peace and safety," and that the practice was just "fear mongering."
However despite Duggar's attempts, the bill was passed Aug. 20, after a ten hour discussion and public debate.

The Heluan is a beautiful, small (~14 rooms) hotel right in the middle of old Karlovy Vary. It's on a quiet street, and I was pleased to be on the top floor, which meant the ceiling was high & sloped. The room was warm when I arrived, and the woman at reception was incredibly friendly. I was able to store my luggage there for a few hours after I checked out.
I came back super late Friday night, and the all-night staff was there to let me in. - Anonymous

The breakfasts are very good with a wide choice of food and lots of it. Location is ideal - ten minutes walk from the springs, immediately adjacent to good shops and cafes, five minutes from the main bus terminal. We will certainly stay there again. Cannot recommend it too highly. - Anonymous

Extra plows keep Nashuans on the road
Some shovel, others observe, all anticipate the clearing of the snow that fell on Greater Nashua, from Friday to Saturday morning. (SIMON RIOS/Union Leader Correspondent)
"This is the worst I have ever seen it - easily. It was very bad (Friday) night, with whiteout conditions and wind drifts causing big issues for our drivers," said Roy Sorenson, streets superintendent for the Nashua Public Works Department. "The wind is just howling out there."
About 110 city workers were on hand Saturday to help clear the streets of snow, but Sorenson stressed that it would be a lengthy process. Encouraging residents to remain patient, he said the main plow routes were still being cleared as of noon on Saturday.
"We are just really catching up. We have a ways to go," said Sorenson. "Our guys have been here around the clock. They have been great."
In anticipation of the major snowfall, Sorenson said, the city was able to hire additional contractors to bring in extra snowplows on Saturday. Up to 50 more plows were available, enabling a fleet of up to 85 city plows helping to rid the roads of snow.
Because of the heavy amount of snow, Sorenson said, his department will still be removing and relocating snow - especially in and around Main Street - throughout today and Monday.
"Monday, we will have to take another look at this, clear some corners and move some of the snowbanks, including a lot of parking lot work," he said Saturday. "But I haven't even begun thinking about that yet."
Fortunately, most people were staying off the roadways during the morning hours on Saturday, according to Sorenson, which helped crews clear the streets quicker. Early Saturday morning, when winds were at their worst, it was typical for plow drivers to finish clearing a street and already have 4 to 5 inches back on pavement because of the drifting snow conditions, he said.
With a snow emergency in effect, only two cars were towed throughout the night, he said, thanking residents for adhering to the warnings.
Despite the 24 inches of snow that fell, officials said the storm could have been significantly worse.
"I was up until 2 a.m. waiting for some big power outages and limbs coming down like Snowtober, but none of that happened. It was just a lot of snow," said Justin Kates, emergency management director. "It was pretty uneventful from my perspective."
Kates anticipated that a shelter would need to be opened on Saturday, but that was not the case because only brief and minor power outages were reported. Officials were still encouraging residents to stay home on Saturday and allow crews to do their job, stressing one car stuck in the roadway could prevent emergency vehicles from getting through.
Nashua police said they had only a handful of minor accidents early Saturday morning.
"Overall, it was really quiet. We had nothing major to deal with," said Sgt. Shawn Hill, noting many of the major roads were well-paved by Saturday afternoon, when people began venturing out.
Jim Kamari, owner of Ciao's Pizza and Subs at 495 Amherst St., said the blizzard conditions weren't going to prevent his restaurant from serving food. The shop stayed open until 9 p.m. Friday, with pizza still being delivered to customers throughout the brunt of the storm.
"It wasn't too bad. My driver didn't complain," said Kamari. "It actually got busy. We were surprised."
Ciao's was open Saturday, as well, and the owner was expecting a larger crowd in the evening once residents had a chance to dig out of their driveways.
"The roads were clear. I didn't have any problem getting in," he added, praising the crews for their hard work.

Despite the fact that lawmakers in Korea's National Assembly are still struggling to find funding for existing welfare programs a la free school meals and child-care programs, it seems that the New Politics Alliance for Democracy (NPAD) Party, the moribund main opposition party, has proposed yet another welfare program.
(One, does this mean that we can finally all agree that "free" is not really free? Two, I hope NPAD's advisers are unpaid interns. Even the most amateur gambler will tell you never to double down on a losing hand unless you are really good at bluffing, which the NPAD is not good at doing.)
|Image Source
Specifically, NPAD lawmaker Representative Hong Jong-hak stated that his party intends to push to provide up to 30,000 free homes for newlywed couples, as well as push to lower the National Housing Fund's interest rates.
Representative Hong said that the NPAD Party will push to allocate ₩243.2 billion (US$221.7 million) for the project in next year's budget.
Again, the National Assembly is still struggling to fund existing welfare programs.
|Image Source
In an article in the JoongAng Ilbo, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transportation released a report to Saenuri lawmakers that stated that "assuming that the National Housing Fund's 2015 interest rates are held constant, constructing 30,000 homes over a period of four years will cost up to ₩3.6 trillion (US$3.2 billion). Furthermore, constructing 100,000 homes over a period of four years will cost up to ₩12.1 trillion (US$10.7 billion)"
Sense seemed to prevail when members of the ruling Saenuri Party opposed the NPAD Party's plans. They said that the plan was "unfeasible."
However, lest anyone begins to think that the Saenuri Party is somehow the bastion of rational thought, I think this would be a good time to remind everyone that it is the same party that is still throwing its full weight behind Abenomics' even-uglier stepsister, Choinomics.
|You decide which is which
Image Source
At this point, I could go into an in-depth discussion about economic theories and present different kinds of arguments to state why this latest proposal is a harebrained idea.
I could talk in-depth about the Laffer Curve, which postulates that after a certain point of taxation, tax revenues actually fall rather than rise.
I could also talk, again, about Frédéric Bastiat's Broken Window Fallacy, which explains how opportunity costs affect economic activity in unforeseeable ways.
I could also talk about how economists/partisan economists/politicians can never predict economic conditions of the future (as even the OECD admits) because central bankers and political leaders who like to think of themselves as enlightened leaders tend to only see positive signs in the economy than spot potential problems because, like everyone else in the world, they like to think that they are doing a good job (see confirmation bias). This is why no one should ever trust a politician when a politician says "Trust me."
Finally, I could talk about the pitfalls of populism. I could talk about how populism is, by its very nature, more focused on "redistribution" rather than thinking of ways to create new wealth. I could talk about how the problem with populists is that for all their flowery rhetoric, most of them have little to no idea about how to realize their lofty goals without having to "break a few eggs." I could talk about how populism may be an attractive means to achieving short-term political victories, but that in the long-term, when its leadership finally has to own up to its own inadequacies, it will also have to contend with an enraged public that was promised Nirvana but delivered anything but.
|Image Source
I could talk about all that. But I won't. Going into an in-depth conversation about those topics requires sober thought, seriousness, and rational thought. However, politicians clearly have no such capability.
If this "homes for newlywed couples" is the best idea that NPAD lawmakers can come up with, I don't think that Saenuri lawmakers could possibly ask for a more loyal opposition as the Saenuri Party will be guaranteed to win one election after another, not because the Saenuri Party is wise or prudent, but only because it is a little less stupid than the NPAD Party.
Gods help us all.

09. 04. 13. - 19:00
Only a few remaining tickets for gala concert for the benefit of people affected by HIV/AIDS remain.
With Eva Longoria one more prominent supporter joins the Red Ribbon Celebration Concert on May 24, 2013, in Burgtheater Vienna, Austria.
Eva Longoria visited Life Ball already in 2009 as spokesperson for amfAR – The Foundation for AIDS Research Gast. During the concert she will give a short reading beside Austrian theater stars like Christiane Hörbiger, Sunnyi Melles, Nicholas Ofczarek and Mavie Hörbiger. Several internationally renowned opera singers like Anna Netrebko, Elisabeth Kulman, Erwin Schrott, Piotr Beczala, Ildebrando D'Arcangelo and René Pape will also embrace the good cause. The soloists of the gala concert will be accompanied by the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra.
The net proceeds of the Red Ribbon Celebration Concert will go to the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), which is one of the most important global organizations fighting HIV and AIDS and has been a partner of the Life Ball for many years. President Bill Clinton will be present as representative of his organization and will personally address the audience, who help achieve a central goal by attending the concert: to stem the spread of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa, one of the regions most affected by the AIDS epidemic worldwide.
The Red Ribbon Celebration Concert takes place with friendly support of NOVOMATIC. Those, who want to experience it live, should get their tickets soon – there are just a few remaining tickets.

Sunderland beat Spurs in Asia Trophy friendly, but Jozy Altidore squanders chances
Jul 24, 2013, 9:32 AM EST
This morning in Hong Kong, Tottenham and Sunderland squared off amid torrential downpours in South China, as Paolo Di Canio's side beat Spurs 3-1.
Goals from Cabral, Wes Brown and David Moberg Karlsson handed Sunderland the comeback victory, after Gylfi Sigurdsson had opened the scoring for Spurs.
Their friendly in the Barclays Asia Trophy semifinal was in doubt, but after a delay the pitch was ready for an 80 minute game between the Premier League clubs, and the Black Cats didn't disappoint.
For fans of the U.S. national there was plenty of interest in this one, as red-hot forward Jozy Altidore started for Sunderland while Clint Dempsey and Brad Friedel put in a shift for Spurs.
Surprisingly, Sunderland ran out comfortable winners but it could have been even more convincing if Altidore had brought his shooting boots with him.
(MORE: Altidore officially signs for Sunderland in $13 million deal)
The 23-year-old USMNT striker had three glorious opportunities to score, but countryman Friedel thwarted him superbly towards the end of the game as the contest opened up. But despite missed chances, included a fresh air shot from three yards out, Altidore looked at home with his new teammates and made several good runs off the last defender that gave Tottenham plenty of problems. But he did slot in Cabral for Sunderland's opener.
Nevertheless, Di Canio would have been pleased with Altidore and several of his new signings as they swept aside a Spurs team that was missing Gareth Bale amid increased transfer speculation.
Dempsey put in a solid performance on a heavy pitch in Hong Kong, and was substituted after 70 minutes. But one of the moments of the match came from veteran goalkeeper Friedel who made a stunning reflex save in the 73rd minute to deny Connor Wickham.
The old dog, 42 years young, still has some life left in him, it seems.
So how much can we read into these preseason friendlies? It is difficult. Sunderland certainly looked fitter and Di Canio has been working his roster tirelessly over the summer months. But you never know how both teams have structured their training around this match, as Spurs may have had a heavy session the day before.
Regardless, a welcome win for Altidore and Sunderland who've made the final and will play the winner of Manchester City and South China in the four-team tournament.
As for Altidore, maybe he's saving up all his goals for the World Cup qualifiers later this year?
- joanismylover - Jul 24, 2013 at 1:21 PM
If Wondolowski had squandered a chance from 3 yards nobody would be saying his coach was encouraged by the display. They'd all be saying he sucked.
- talgrath - Jul 24, 2013 at 5:34 PM
Jozy did have an assist in the game, so you can't say he didn't at least help his team put the ball in the net.

The history of the Irish in baseball is much richer than anyone realizes. From early discrimination to later domination, from Mike Kelly, a society star in the 1880s, to the managerial fame of Connie Mack (né McGillicuddy), early Irish players and managers helped shape the game of baseball in every way. From the first curveball to the first players' unions, Irishmen took America's national pastime and made it their own, turning it into the glorious game we know… (more)

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
My Sunday got just a lot better when this beautiful pastel hue Zac Posen bag arrived! I have wanted to own something from Zac Posen for a long time. I think that Zac Posen is a super talented designer who mixes effortlessly old world glamour and contemporary style in his haute couture-like designs. I was a little surprised that the color of the bag was more purple than pink (like in the photos). However I love the both colors so I am happy to keep it as it is. I have been working fairly hard for the University recently so this bag is kind of a reward to myself for all the hard work. x

text: Visited this exhibition today. Surprising! Like most people I had preconceptions of Rio, thinking it is just slums and city and beach. This exhibition was a broader depiction of Brazil, and really opened my mind to the city. It's modern and beautiful and full of creative energy. Well worth a visit, to see how the next Olympics are shaping up. Good luck Rio 2016!

It's a day of celebration for Israelis but for Palestinians it's the Nakba, the catastrophe. The foundation of Israel on 14 May 1948 meant hundreds of thousands of them fled or were expelled from their homes.
Every year, groups of Shia men parade through the centre of Nabatiyeh, where Lebanon's major Ashura rituals take place. These rituals include the controversial bloodletting rite known as "tatbir". Although frowned upon by religious and political authorities, Shia communities still practice tatbir as a vital part of their communal act of mourning Imam Hussein, who was martyred at the pivotal Battle of Karbala in 680 AD.

Ants themselves don't harm apples trees, but they farm aphids which do cause damage. If you look at the leaves on the branch tips, you will doubtless find aphids which the ants have carried there. As aphids suck the sap they produce honeydew as a waste product and the ants eat this.
To prevent ants from climbing the tree, try putting a thick wide band of vaseline around the trunk and cut down any tall nearby plants which touch the tree branches and would allow the ants to find another route up the tree.
You shouldn't allow apples to produce fruit for the first 2 or 3 years anyway so that they can establish a good root system first, so lack of apples on your year old tree is actually a Good Thing.
Hi Frozz, that's a ladybird larva, 100%. Lucky you!
Suggest filling the water butt using a spray attachment on the hose. This will take longer to fill it but it'll provide the best possible aeration and should allow a lot of the chlorine to disperse.
Let's hope that's not the start of a plague of dahlia-loving locusts, SwissSue!
Hi Verd & all, runner beans also finally forming here, first raspberries ripened today too although they didn't make it very far - "gardener's privilege" if you know what I mean! Noticed all of the winter squash have at least one fruit on now, with each vine growing another metre since Monday - amazing what a few days of sunshine can do!
Hope things go better for those previously mentioned in this thread who are currently unwell.
In previous years I have used bug spray to stop sawfly devastating my Soloman's seal. However, this year I decided to just pick them all off by hand but last night I noticed a tiny wasp laying eggs into each and every sawfly larvae so decided I quite like the idea of lots more of these predators being around in the future and let them be. The Soloman's seal will still be eaten to shreds this year, but next year there may be a lot more of these predator wasps which may help keep sawfly numbers down. The bug spray would have killed the wasp too of course. It's just a different (and better, in my opinion) way of looking at things.
Beautiful gardens everyone - I'm a bit jealous of the larger ones but have become quite good at cramming lots of things into a relatively small area!:
I wouldn't plant the agapanthus too close to the alliums as agapanthus can be quite thuggish and have large root systems - I'm just revamping a raised bed so will nip out and take a couple of pics to show you just how invasive these roots can be.

Cooper and the flock wish you a day filled with family, friends and feasting.
Tag Archives: Cooper
Cooper's Song of the Month
The Perch
Last month we visited family in Arizona. While there, we went to The Perch Pub and Brewery in Chandler. Besides serving food and having 30 beers on tap (Harry loves beer), The Perch houses over 50 rescue birds on their grounds.
The lovebirdsI fell in love with this Indian Ringneck Parakeet.This Blue and Gold Macaw wants out!Some beer for Harry…And on to the budgies!Budgie and canaryBudgies, cockatiel and doveThis looks like the work of a naughty budgie…We enjoyed our time at The Perch. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend that you stop by for a brew and say, "Hello" to the birds!But make sure to keep an eye on your kids.
Cooper's Day Off
Where's Sunny?
Budgie Buy
Susan brought these cute little toys to my attention. What child (or adult) wouldn't want one of these as a holiday gift? The birds come single or with a cage and they can chirp, sing and repeat phrases. Best of all – no poop!Of course I had to get one. Cooper checks out the competition…
They require 2 AAA batteries. Collect them all!
Introducing Harvey!
Meet the newest member of the flock! I think we needed something positive to focus on after we lost Gordie, so we decided to adopt a new little one. Gordie definitely inspired us to provide a loving home for unwanted budgies. I wish we could take them all in…
Harry found him on Craigslist*. We're not sure how old he is (the previous owner said they had him for 6 months and that they had purchased him from Petco). He isn't banded and his wings are grown out, so who knows? His cage looked like it had never been cleaned (ugh), so we loaded him up in our quarantine cage and spirited him away.
Harvey is very nervous when we approach the cage and flips out when we put our hands in to change out his food and his water. Another taming challenge! He's been calling to the other birds and I can't wait for them to meet him. It's nice to know another lonely bird will have a flock, and I'm glad the other budgies will soon have a new friend. Perhaps Cooper will take a shine to him…
*Harvey was the first budgie (not from a breeder) that was available on our Craigslist search. I think we are fated to have blue birds!
Cooper's Talent Show
Harry (great name!) the budgie shows off his talking and whistling skills.
Budgie Care Package
Look what arrived in the mail!A package filled with treats and toys for the budgies from my wonderful niece Surena and her equally wonderful fiancé RK!Here is Alfie with the disco bell. Alfie loves his bells! This is a favorite of the boys (who love chatting up their reflections in shiny surfaces).Here is Lera with the hypno wheel. She was playing with it, but every time she saw the camera, she would turn around and pose.The seed sticks were a big hit as were the dried greens. Above – Cooper. Below – Sunny.They started squabbling over the sticks, so I put them at the bottom of the cage where they could all snack together.Here is Alfie again (with the ever present food on his face). Alfie is always first on the scene when food enters the cage.
The budgies loved their gifts! The flock has been a little quiet since Gordie left, so the care package was definitely a welcome surprise. Thank you so much Surena and RK!
