Published 1 day ago on December 15, 2018 By RT Via RT… Forces are aligning against Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince, lead by elements within the CIA and strong players in the mainstream media. But what is really behind this deterioration in relationship, and what are its implications? Following the brutal murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, western media and various entities, including the CIA, appear to have turned their back on Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman (MBS). In response to the scandal, the Guardian released a video which its celebutante, Owen Jones, captioned"Saudi Arabia is one of the biggest threats on Earth. Time to stop propping up its repulsive regime." The Guardian was not alone in its condemnation. "It's high time to end Saudi impunity," wrote Hana Al-Khamri in Al-Jazeera. "It's time for Saudi Arabia to tell the truth on Jamal Khashoggi," the Washington Post's Editorial Board argued. Politico called it "the tragedy of Jamal Khashoggi." Even shadowy think-tanks like the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Atlantic Council released articles criticising Saudi Arabia in the wake of Khashoggi's death. A number of companies began backing away from Saudi money after the journalist's death, including the world's largest media companies such as the New York Times, the Economist's editor-in-chief Zanny Minton Beddoes, Arianna Huffington, CNN, CNBC, the Financial Times, Bloomberg, Google Cloud CEO, just to name a few. The CIA concluded that MBS personally ordered Khashoggi's death, and was reportedly quite open in its provision of this assessment. Antonio Guterres, secretary-general of the UN, also took time out of his schedule to express concern over Saudi Arabia's confirmation of the killing. At the time of the scandal, former CIA director John Brennan went on MSNBC to state that the Khashoggi's death would be the downfall of MBS. Furthermore, the US Senate just voted in favour of ending American involvement in Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen (a somewhat symbolic victory, though this is a topic for another article), but nonetheless was a clear stab at MBS personally. The only person who appeared to continue to uphold America's unfaltering support for MBS, even after all the publicly made evidence against MBS, was the US president himself. So after years of bombarding Yemen, sponsoring terror groups across the Middle East, Asia, the Pacific and beyond, why is it only now that there has been mounting opposition to Saudi Arabia's leadership? Let's just bear in mind that western media had spent years investing in a heavy PR campaign to paint MBS as a "reformer." Former national security adviser under Barack Obama's second term, Susan Rice, wrote an article in the New York Times, in which she called MBS a "partner we can't depend on." Rice concludes that MBS is "not and can no longer be viewed as a reliable partner of the United States and our allies." But why is this? Is it because MBS is responsible for some of the most egregious human rights abuses inside his own kingdom as well as in Yemen? Is it because of MBS' support for groups such as ISIS and al-Qaeda? No, according to Rice, we "should not rupture our important relationship with the kingdom, but we must make it clear it cannot be business as usual so long as Prince Mohammad continues to wield unlimited power." One will observe that the latter segment of Rice's article almost mirrors former CIA director Brennan's word on MSNBC word for word who stated that: "I think ultimately this is going to come out. And it's very important for us to maintain the relations with Saudi Arabia. And if it's Mohammed bin Salman who's the cancer here, well, we need to be able to find ways to eliminate the cancer and to move forward with this relationship that is critical to regional stability and our national interests." In reality, this is probably the issue that western media and government advisors have taken up with MBS. Aside from the fact he allegedly held a huge hand in the brutal murder of one of their own establishment journalists (Saudi Arabia reportedly tortured and killed another journalist not long after Khashoggi, but western media was eerily silent on this incident) MBS is not opposed for his reckless disregard for human rights. With insight into Rice's mindset, we actually learn that if the US were to punish MBS, he would be likely to "behave more irresponsibly to demonstrate his independence and exact retribution against his erstwhile Western partners." You see, the problem with MBS isn't that he is a mass murdering war criminal, it is that he is too "independent" for the United States' liking. Last week, Saudi Arabia and the other major oil producers met in Vienna at the year's final big OPEC meeting of the year. As Foreign Policy notes, Saudi Arabia remains the largest oil producer inside OPEC but has to contend with the US and Russia who are "pumping oil at record levels." Together, the three countries are the world's biggest oil producers, meaning any coordinated decision made between these three nations can be somewhat monumental. However, it appears that one of these three nations will end up drawing the short end of the stick as the other two begin forming a closer alliance. As Foreign Policy explains: "But Saudi Arabia has bigger game in mind at Vienna than just stabilizing oil prices. Recognizing that it can't shape the global oil market by itself anymore but rather needs the cooperation of Russia, Saudi Arabia is hoping to formalize an ad hoc agreement between OPEC and Moscow that began in 2016, a time when dirt-cheap oil also posed a threat to oil-dependent regimes. That informal agreement expires at the end of the year, but the Saudis would like to make Russia's participation with the cartel more permanent." Russian officials have been signalling their intention to formalise this agreement for quite some time now. Given the hysteria in western media about any and all things Russian, it is not too much of a stretch to suggest that this is the kind of news that is not sitting too well with the powers-that-be. Earlier this year, Russia and Saudi Arabia announced that it would "institutionalize" the two-year-old bilateral agreement to coordinate oil production targets in order to maintain an edge on the global market. While US president Trump has been supportive and incredibly defensive of MBS during this "crisis", the truth is that the US only has itself to blame. It was not all too long ago that Trump announced that he had told Saudi King Salman that his kingdom would not last two weeks without US support. Saudi Arabia is learning for themselves quite quickly that, ultimately, it may pay not to have all its eggs in one geopolitical superpower basket. Saudi Arabia has been increasingly interested in Moscow since King Salman made a historic visit to Moscow in October 2017. While Trump has openly bragged about his record-breaking arms deals with the Saudis, the blunt truth is that the $110 billion arms agreements were reportedly only ever letters of interest or intent, but not actual contracts. As such, the US-Saudi arms deal is still yet to be locked in, all the while Saudi Arabia is negotiating with Russia for its S-400 air defence system. This is, as the Washington Post notes, despite repeated US requests to Saudi Arabia for it disavow its interest in Russia's arms. The economic threat that an "independent" Saudi Arabia under MBS' leadership poses to Washington runs deeper than meets the eye and may indeed have a domino effect. According to CNN, Russia and Saudi Arabia "are engaged in an intense battle over who will be the top supplier to China, a major energy importer with an insatiable appetite for crude." The unveiling of China's petro-yuan poses a major headache for Washington and its control over Saudi Arabia as well.According to Carl Weinberg, chief economist and managing director at High-Frequency Economics, China will "compel"Saudi Arabia to trade oil in Chinese yuan instead of US dollars. One must bear in mind that China has now surpassed the US as the "biggest oil importer on the planet," these direct attacks on the US dollar will have huge implications for its current world reserve status. If Saudi Arabia jumps on board China's petro-yuan, the rest of OPEC will eventually follow, and the US might be left with no choice but to declare all of these countries in need of some vital freedom and democracy. Therefore, ousting MBS and replacing him with a Crown Prince who doesn't stray too far from the tree that is US imperialism may put a dent in pending relationships with Saudi Arabia and Washington's adversaries, Russia and China. Once we get over the certainty that the US media and the CIA are not against MBS for his long-list of human rights abuses, the question then becomes: why – why now, and in this manner, have they decided to put the spotlight on MBS and expose him exactly for what he is. Clearly, the driving force behind this media outrage is a bit more complex than first meets the eye. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon! Continue Reading Latest The Indiscreet Charm of the Gilets Jaunes Nothing scares the Identity Politics Left quite like an actual working class uprising. Published 1 day ago on December 15, 2018 By UNZ Authored (satirically) by CJ Hopkins via The Unz Review: So it appears the privatization of France isn't going quite as smoothly as planned. As I assume you are aware, for over a month now, the gilets jaunes (or "yellow vests"), a multiplicitous, leaderless, extremely pissed off, confederation of working class persons, have been conducting a series of lively protests in cities and towns throughout the country to express their displeasure with Emmanuel Macron and his efforts to transform their society into an American-style neo-feudal dystopia. Highways have been blocked, toll booths commandeered, luxury automobiles set on fire, and shopping on the Champs-Élysées disrupted. What began as a suburban tax revolt has morphed into a bona fide working class uprising. It took a while for "the Golden Boy of Europe" to fully appreciate what was happening. In the tradition of his predecessor, Louis XVI, Macron initially responded to the gilets jaunes by inviting a delegation of Le Monde reporters to laud his renovation of the Elysée Palace, making the occasional condescending comment, and otherwise completely ignoring them. That was back in late November. Last Saturday, he locked down central Paris, mobilized a literal army of riot cops, "preventatively arrested" hundreds of citizens, including suspected "extremist students," and sent in the armored military vehicles. The English-language corporate media, after doing their best not to cover these protests (and, instead, to keep the American and British publics focused on imaginary Russians), have been forced to now begin the delicate process of delegitimizing the gilets jaunes without infuriating the the entire population of France and inciting the British and American proletariats to go out and start setting cars on fire. They got off to a bit of an awkward start. For example, this piece by Angelique Chrisafis, The Guardian's Paris Bureau Chief, and her Twitter feed from the protests last Saturday. Somehow (probably a cock-up at headquarters), The Guardian honchos allowed Chrisafis to do some actual propaganda-free reporting (and some interviews with actual protesters) before they caught themselves and replaced her with Kim Willsher, who resumed The Guardian's usual neoliberal establishment-friendly narrative, which, in this case, entailed dividing the protesters into "real" gilets jaunes and "fake" gilet jaunes, and referring to the latter fictional group as "thuggish, extremist political agitators." By Sunday, the corporate media were insinuating that diabolical Russian Facebook bots had brainwashed the French into running amok, because who else could possibly be responsible? Certainly not the French people themselves! The French, as every American knows, are by nature a cowardly, cheese-eating people, who have never overthrown their rightful rulers, or publicly beheaded the aristocracy. No, the French were just sitting there, smoking like chimneys, and otherwise enjoying their debt-enslavement and the privatization of their social democracy, until they unsuspectingly logged onto Facebook and … BLAMMO, the Russian hackers got them! Bloomberg is reporting that French authorities have opened a probe into Russian interference (in the middle of which report, for no apparent reason, a gigantic photo of Le Pen is featured, presumably just to give it that "Nazi" flavor). According to "analysis seen by The Times," Russia-linked social media accounts have been "amplifying" the "chaos" and "violence" by tweeting photos of gilets jaunes who the French police have savagely beaten or gratuitiously shot with "less-than-lethal projectiles." "Are nationalists infiltrating the yellow vests?" the BBC Newsnight producers are wondering. According to Buzzfeed's Ryan Broderick, "a beast born almost entirely from Facebook" is slouching toward … well, I'm not quite sure, the UK or even, God help us, America! And then there's Max Boot, who is convinced he is being personally persecuted by Russian agents like Katie Hopkins, James Woods, Glenn Greenwald, and other high-ranking members of a worldwide conspiracy Boot refers to as the "Illiberal International" (but which regular readers of my column will recognize as the "Putin-Nazis"). And, see, this is the problem the corporate media (and other staunch defenders of global neoliberalism) are facing with these gilets jaunes protests. They can't get away with simply claiming that what is happening is not a working class uprising, so they have been forced to resort to these blatant absurdities. They know they need to delegitimize the gilets jaunes as soon as possible — the movement is already starting to spread — but the "Putin-Nazi" narrative they've been using on Trump, Corbyn, and other "populists" is just not working. No one believes the Russians are behind this, not even the hacks who are paid to pretend they do. And the "fascism" hysteria is also bombing. Attempts to portray the gilets jaunes as Le Pen-sponsored fascists blew up in their faces. Obviously, the far-Right are part of these protests, as they would be in any broad working class uprising, but there are far too many socialists and anarchists (and just regular pissed-off working class people) involved for the media to paint them all as "Nazis." Which is not to say that the corporate media and prominent public intellectuals like Bernard-Henri Lévy will not continue to hammer away at the "fascism" hysteria, and demand that the "good" and "real" gilets jaunes suspend their protests against Macron until they have completely purged their movement of "fascists," and "extremists," and other dangerous elements, and have splintered it into a number of smaller, antagonistic ideological factions that can be more easily neutralized by the French authorities … because that's what establishment intellectuals do. We can expect to hear this line of reasoning, not just from establishment intellectuals like Lévy, but also from members of the Identity Politics Left, who are determined to prevent the working classes from rising up against global neoliberalism until they have cleansed their ranks of every last vestige of racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, transphobia, and so on. These leftist gatekeepers have been struggling a bit to come up with a response to the gilets jaunes … a response that doesn't make them sound like hypocrites. See, as leftists, they kind of need to express their support for a bona fide working class uprising. At the same time, they need to delegitimize it, because their primary adversaries are fascism, racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and assorted other isms and phobias, not the neoliberal ruling classes. Nothing scares the Identity Politics Left quite like an actual working class uprising. Witnessing the furious unwashed masses operating out there on their own, with no decent human restraint whatsoever, Identity Politics Leftists feel a sudden overwhelming urge to analyze, categorize, organize, sanitize, and otherwise correct and control them. They can't accept the fact that the actual, living, breathing working classes are messy, multiplicitous, inconsistent, and irreducible to any one ideology. Some of them are racists. Some are fascists. Others are communists, socialists, and anarchists. Many have no idea what they are, and don't particularly care for any of these labels.This is what the actual working classes are … a big, contradictory collection of people who, in spite of all their differences, share one thing in common, that they are being screwed over by the ruling classes. I don't know about you, but I consider myself one of them. Where we go from here is anyone's guess. According to The Guardian, as I am sitting here writing this, the whole of Europe is holding its breath in anticipation of the gilets jaunes' response to Macron's most recent attempt to appease them, this time with an extra hundred Euros a month, some minor tax concessions, and a Christmas bonus. Something tells me it's not going to work, but even if it does, and the gilets jaunes uprising ends, this messy, Western "populist" insurgency against global neoliberalism has clearly entered a new phase. Count on the global capitalist ruling classes to intensify their ongoing War on Dissent and their demonization of anyone opposing them (or contradicting their official narrative) as an "extremist," a "fascist," a "Russian agent," and so on. I'm certainly looking forward to that, personally. Oh… yeah, and I almost forgot, if you were wondering what you could get me for Christmas, I did some checking, and there appears to be a wide selection of yellow safety vests online for just a couple Euros.

Continue Reading Latest Washington Is Changing The World Order Against Its Own Interests Any country sufficiently stupid to ally with the US is allied with a dead man walking. Published 1 day ago on December 15, 2018 By Paul Craig Roberts Authored by Paul Craig Roberts: The hubris and arrogance of Washington have been at work since the Clinton regime to destroy the power and relevance of the United States. This website has an international audience. The most asked question from this audience is the world order. There is a realization that Washington's control might weaken, a development people abroad see as hopeful. They ask me for verification of their hope. Here is my answer: The world order has already changed. China has a larger and more powerful industrial and manufacturing based economy than the US, and China's potential domestic consumer market is four times larger than that of the US. As economies are consumer based, China's potential is an economy four times larger than that of the US. Russia has a far more capable military with weapon systems unmatched by the US. The US is drowning in debt, and the illegal and irresponsible sanctions that Washington tries to impose on others are driving the world's largest countries away from the use of the US dollar as world reserve currency and away from Western clearance systems such as SWIFT. The United States already has one foot in the grave. Any country sufficiently stupid to ally with the US is allied with a dead man walking. President Eisenhower, a five-star general, warned Americans 57 years ago to no effect that the military/security complex was already a threat to the American people's ability to control their government. Today the military/security complex is the Government. As Udo Ulfkotte documented in his book, Journalists for Hire: How the CIA buys the News—no you can't buy a copy unless you can find a used copy in German in a German book store, the CIA has seen to that—journalism independent of official explanations no longer exists in the Western world. Much of the world does not understand this. Aside from the material interests of Russian and Chinese capitalists, a portion of the youth of both superpowers, and also even in Iran, have succumbed to brainwashing by American propaganda. Gullible beyond belief, they are more loyal to America than they are to their own countries. The United States itself is extremely unsuccessful, but its propaganda still rules the world. The consequence is that, based on its propagandistic success, Washington thinks it still holds the balance of economic and military power. This is a delusion that is leading Washington to nuclear war. Considering the hypersonic speed, trajectory changeability and massive power of Russian nuclear weapons, war with Russia will result in nothing whatsoever being left of the US and its vassals, who sold out European peoples for Washington's money.

Superior Clay 18" Bake Oven
Building the 18" Superior Clay Oven
1) Build masonry base at least 34" wide by 46" deep, and 38" high for a finished oven floor 42" above the kitchen floor or ground.
3) Lay out 18" circle on oven floor and set 10 firebrick in Heatstop II refractory mortar just inside circle as shown, five sides each with one brick layed flat and one brick layed on edge on top of the first brick, so that firebrick walls are about 7" tall.
4) Set the 20" oven dome, the 10" entrance tunnel (with flue opening toward the dome) and the first flue tile all in Heatstop II refractory mortar.
5) Parge the sides and top of the oven with the insulating refractory concrete at least 2" thick.
6) Add more insulation over the castable insulation. Inexpensive pearlite or expanded shale mixed with a little Portland cement is okay - or use mineral wool. Whether the oven is associated with a cooking fireplace and large chimney mass or is a stand-alone oven, the exterior masonry enclosure should be isolated from the oven shell by an air space or a layer of compressible insulation like mineral wool so that, when the oven liner expands with heat, it doesn't crack the exterior masonry. Some masons use metal lath held away from the oven shell with spacers to create an air space and then plaster the oven dome. Many ovens are covered by a roof to keep rain water from entering any cracks in the exterior.
7) The 4"x 8" flue liner should be enclosed within a chimney with walls at least 4" thick of solid masonry. If the chimney is inside a house it must conform to all applicable codes dealing with clearance to combustibles and height above the roof. If the oven is outside the flue need only be enclosed in masonry as high as is desired and clear of combustibles.
8) An entrance cover for the oven entrance can be provided to help keep the oven warm. When a fire is heating the oven the door can be placed toward the front of the entrance so that flue gasses can enter the flue. After the oven is warm and the fire is out the door can be placed farther in the entrance to close off the flue, seal the oven better and preserve the heat.
Cooking in a Black Oven
The Superior Clay Oven is a "black oven" meaning that it is heated by building a fire in the oven itself.
Some foods, such as pizzas, cook fast in a hot oven - three minutes at about 700 degrees F - and are cooked in the oven while the fire is still burning. When ready to cook throw some corn meal on the oven floor and bake right on the hot firebrick. The oven door can be placed near the outside of the entrance to keep the oven hot and not so far in as to block the flue while the fire is still burning.
French bread is traditionally baked in a periodic oven with a moist atmosphere and declining temperature. Get the oven up to about 400 degrees F. Rake out the fire and mop the hearth with a wet towel. Load the oven with enough bread to fill the oven to keep the moisture high. Push the oven door all the way in past the flue entrance to seal in the moist heat until the bread is baked.
Meats and roasts can also be seared and roasted in a periodic oven with declining temperature after the fire has been raked out.
The oven can be used as a smoker by keeping the temperature low, using the right wood and maybe a pan of liquid, depending on the recipe. And, of course, the oven is a great place to warm plates as it continues to cool.
Building Fires
At first, at least 24 hours after building the oven, build a small fire to break in the oven. Try to build up the temperature inside the oven at a rate of 50 degrees F per hour up to about 500 degrees F. The break-in fire will drive out any moisture, cure the refractory mortar and minimize the chance of damaging the oven.
Many oven domes crack even when broken in properly. The purpose of the dome is to create the dome shape in the oven that cannot easily be achieved with other materials that would not crumble or scale off into the food or cost many times more. The cracks have no negative effect on the oven and a cracked dome will last a lifetime, be structurally sound and perfectly functional.
To build a fire start with a small kindling fire in the front of the oven under the flue. Add wood when the fire is burning well, and gradually move the fire back into the oven. Use the oven door (when you are not adding wood) placed out near the front of the entrance tunnel to keep heat in the oven but not block the flue while the fire is burning.

In March 2013, the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI) launched the Turing Gateway to Mathematics (TGM). This initiative aims to stimulate the interchange of knowledge and ideas between academics of different disciplines and potential users of modern mathematics - in short, acting as a gateway. Named after Alan Turing because of his exceptionally wide influence across a very broad front, the TGM is a channel for collaboration and cooperation between academia and industry.
With activities ranging from specific projects to more extensive training and research programmes, the TGM can help bridge the gap between academic mathematicians, business, government and other disciplines. As well as focusing on widening access to mathematics generally, the TGM can help shorten pathways to impacts and strengthen education and training in areas where maths skills are needed.
The TGM aims to respond in a speedy and focused way to new ideas and approaches, but it also recognises the need for a targeted and continuous approach to the delivery of longer term knowledge exchange activities in the mathematical sciences. The thematic knowledge exchange programmes currently being developed are strategically and economically important for the UK and linked to some of the Technology Strategy Board catapults and Knowledge Transfer Networks and include Mathematics for Financial Services, Mathematics for Biology and Healthcare Systems, Mathematics for the Space Sector, Mathematics for the Environment and Energy, and the Mathematics of Big Data.
On behalf of the INI, the TGM delivers Open for Business events which bring academic researchers in the mathematical sciences together with external organisations. The success of these events (together with follow-up activity associated with the Institute's research programmes) is a key motivation for the TGM initiative. From a scientific perspective, the TGM facilitates the flow of existing knowledge and ideas from the mathematical sciences to potential users, whereas the INI facilitates cutting-edge research in the mathematical sciences and across a wide spectrum of disciplines where significant mathematical challenges are to be found.
TGM activity is located in the INI's Faulkes Gatehouse. Anyone can approach the TGM for advice and support and if you would like to get involved, please contact the Manager in the first instance.

Credit nostalgia, but one of the most popular booths at this year's E3 floor yet again was stocked with gaming devices decades old, some which you may yourself have owned and cherished during your childhood. With several long tables of gaming systems from the 1970's and into the golden years of the late 80's-early 90's, many which were playable, plenty of E3 attendees were seen grinning ear to ear, reminded of the joys (and challenges) of their younger years trying to level up against sprite illustrated opponents...
The titles at the Videogame History Museum were in stark contrast to the ultra-realistic games surrounding the selection of early 8-bit and 16-bit systems, yet the booth's offerings seemed popular across all age ranges. The booth even included a dozen or so stand-up arcade machines, reminding me of the days when a quarter on the screen meant, "you got next".
And as someone who owned a Super Famicom, NEC TurboGrafx, Sega Dreamcast, and a few of those Tomy and Mattel handheld electronics games (the pre-cursor to the Gameboy), it wasn't a big surprise many of the older attendees were drawn right into the booth to saddle up to a game of 'Nam 1975, Metal Slug, River Raid, or Vectrex Mine Storm. They were fun then and they're still fun today...if you can tap back into your imagination of youth, when a few pixels could be envisioned as a dragon, spaceship, or race car. The Museum turned out to be a great appetizer before sinking deep into the latest next-gen titles, if just to see the amazing packaging of the era.
The Videogame History Museum finished a successful round of Kickstarter funding and is currently seeking a real estate donation to help house and display the physical collection of 20,000 historical video game items spanning over 25 years, "ranging from games, hardware, memorabilia and prototypes to a vast digital archive containing magazines, design and developer notes, company press kits, back-ups of unreleased games and much more. "

The Cabinet acted unanimously at the request of Finance Minister Simc'ia Ehrlich who claimed that Rasinn had reneged on a promise not to attack the government at public forums. Rasinn, who is presently visiting the U.S., was not available for comment. His relations with the government and especially Ehrlich, began to deteriorate last month after the Cabinet was unable to agree on budget cuts.' He told a newspaper interviewer at the time that "the government and the Premier are not serious" about solving economic problems and charged that Premier Menachem Begin "is completely out of the economic problems." Asked how he could attack the government that employed him, Rasinn said he was hired to give economic advice and that, was exactly what he was doing. By Joseph Polakoff 'WASHINGTON, (JTA)- The Carter Administration has officially opened the dooV for "Palestinian^" in Jerusalem, - Lebanon and wherever else they may be living to enter the Israeli-. Egyptian-U.S. peace process related to the West Bank and Gaza. The Administration did not specifically name. Jerusalem in making known its decision Friday but said that talks are to begin by the U.S. officials with "a number of Palestinians both inside and outside of the West Bank and Gaza." .,-. ■ Since all of Jerusalem-Including East Jerusalem- has been part of Israel since 1967, the U.S. decision not to exclude the holy city explicitly is certain to create serious U.S.-Israeli . difficulties. The Carter Administration decision came in response to an "urgent" "Saudi Arabian. call in Riyadh for.the U.S. to istart&fan immediate dia-" " logue" withr "the Palestine Liberation Organization., The Administration reiterated, however, it will continue its long-standing conditions against talk with the PLO itself. The U.S. decision on the widened scope of its "talks" became known when the Jewish Telegraphic Agency inquired at the State Department about the Saudi, suggestion in a newspaper report. <■ . V. Saudi Arabian Crown . Prince Fahd suggested in Riyadh that U.S.-PLO talks could lead'to the PLO accepting- Security Council Resolution 242 and acknowledge Israel's right to exist. These are requirements set down by President Carter before U.S. talks begin with the PLO. The PLO receive? major financial support from Saudi Arabia where tens of thousands of Palestinians occupy important positions in the oil rich country's petroleum industry and thus have a grip on the country's economy and security. • In an interview wjtii I^w York Times columnist Anthony Lewis, Fahd stated "it is incumbent on the U.S. to talk to the PLO because it is a, if not the, political fact in the conflict. It is the sole legitimate representative*of the Palestinian people." U.S. Understands Fahd's Concern "We understand Crown Prince .Fahd's concern that the legitimate rights 7°f the ..Palestinians must be dealt with as part of ain/ comprehensive peace," the State Department said in a prepared statement in response to questions from ihe JTA. "The question is the central focus in the negotiations now underway," the Department added. "As you know, both the Camp David frameworks and the letters by President (Anwar) Sadat and Prime Minister Begin sent to President Carter March 26 call for Palestinian participation in these negotiations." "We desire that participation and will continue to work for it in the days ahead," the State Depart ment added. "In this con-, junction, obviously we will be talking to a number of Palestinians both inside and outside the West Bank and -Gaza." Asked whether going "outside" the areas under Israel's administration would include the PLO,' the State Department said, "we understand the role of the PLO in the Arab world. Our position has been spelled out a number of times by the President and Secretary of State. It remains as we have stated it."

We asked some of our top analysts: "What was the biggest surprise of 2012?"
Their responses start off with not one, but two South Korean phenomena.
Alex Dumortier, CFA: Biggest surprise of 2012? How about a Korean pop song -- Gangnam Style -- becoming the most popular YouTube video of all time, garnering close to a billion views in the process? There are two lessons here:
- Just as Asia is gaining global market share economically, we should expect it to become increasingly influential culturally. Certain youth "tribes" in the U.S. already follow Japanese and Korean popular culture closely, but cultural imports like "Gangnam Style" could become increasingly mainstream.
- The numbers involved show the astonishing speed at which the web can open up -- indeed, create -- a global market for certain products. I'm not particularly a fan of Facebook (NASDAQ:FB), and I tend to think the shares remain overvalued today, but it has been tremendously successful at harnessing that dynamic (it is, of course, a powerful agent of the same dynamic). How else does a company go from zero to being valued at tens of billions of dollars in less than a decade? Creating wealth at that rate was simply unfeasible a generation ago.
Anders Bylund: As if Psy's Gangnam Style wasn't enough, South Korea played host to yet another revolution.
A year ago, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) ruled the tablet computer market with an iron fist. iPads stood for a commanding 60% of global tablet shipments, according to research firm IDC. Today, the iPad slice of the tablet pie has shrunk to just 50.4%. The Android army is stealing Apple's market share, led by Korean giant Samsung, which more than quadrupled its tablet sales year over year.
I'm a longtime Android user and occasional Apple critic, but I did not see this coming. The iPad looked set to rule the tablet roost for another couple of years, leaving Androids to fight for the smartphone segment instead.
Is the iPad simply losing its premium luster, or have Samsung and friends figured out how to make, market, and sell credible competitors? You tell me. Either way, maybe it's no coincidence that Samsung runs this global threat from headquarters in the Gangnam district of Seoul.
Dan Caplinger: Stock market volatility defied expectations by remaining tame all year long. Even during the spring, when concerns about Europe reached their peak and markets fell sharply, the S&P 500 Volatility Index (VOLATILITYINDICES:^VIX) didn't rise nearly as much as it had during similar bouts of uncertainty in 2011, and during the year's rallies, volatility has fallen to levels not seen since before the 2008 financial crisis, crushing investors in the volatility-tracker iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term ETN (NYSEMKT:VXX).
With the fiscal cliff looming, Europe's problems still unresolved, and emerging markets still suffering slowdowns, the lack of volatility is especially surprising. With so much complacency, investors seem more greedy than fearful, and to me, that suggests it's time to start looking at ways to protect your portfolio from the next downturn -- whenever it comes.
Alex Planes: I don't think I'm the only one who's been surprised by the all-but-total irrelevance of the Occupy movement in 2012. Occupy captured everyone's attention in 2011 as ever-greater numbers camped out in New York's Zucotti Park and in other cities around the country. Protests in other countries even started chanting Occupy's "we are the 99%" rallying cry. The Fool devoted front-page coverage to Occupy throughout the fall, which included our managing editor visiting Zucotti Park to understand what was driving the movement.
After the police cleared Zucotti last November, the movement more or less disintegrated into self-parody. The first big Occupy action of 2012, "Occupy Congress," barely merited media attention. A reunion of sorts on Occupy's six-month anniversary was thinly attended and notable only for frequent arrests. A reboot focused on debt forgiveness has done virtually nothing. Protests organized against Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) for the holiday season have looked laughably ineffective. I expected leadership to stand up and declare a new focus, but no one has been willing to assume leadership -- and if anyone did, the Occupy mind-set might simply reject them, anyway.
Meanwhile, media discussion of the 1% has been focused in 2012 almost entirely on whether the highest earners should see their taxes return to Clinton-era rates, which is probably not what Occupy had intended to highlight with its protests in the first place. Feeble antibusiness efforts, including "strikes" against small businesses as well as protests against multinational corporations, are also muddying the original message of economic fairness. This message is certainly worth debate as our feeble recovery drags on into its fifth year, but Occupy hasn't been the right messenger.
Rich Smith: The big surprise for me in 2012 is... still surprising me today. It's the fact that despite debt defaults in Europe, and continual threats of more of the same (and not just Europe), despite 92 out of 500 companies in the S&P 500 having already lowered their earnings guidance for Q4 (versus just 25 raising guidance), despite worries over an approaching fiscal cliff and the risk of sequestration, the stock market is actually up 12% so far this year.
Talk about climbing a wall of worry!
Tim Beyers: When Robert Downey Jr. agreed to play armored superhero Iron Man in a film of the same name, no one really knew what to expect. Even after the film made more than $300 million at the domestic box office, some doubted the superhero meme would live on in theaters for more than a year or two.
Fast-forward to this summer. Downey once again reprised his role as the armored avenger, his third time on screen in that capacity. Only this time, the results more than pleased audiences. This time, an ensemble cast set a new box office record (i.e., the largest weekend gross in history) on the way to $1.5 billion in ticket sales. That's how big Marvel's The Avengers was this year.
No one saw it coming. No one, that is, except for Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) chief executive Bob Iger, whose $4 billion purchase of Marvel Entertainment in 2008 today looks like the sort of steal you only get in a heist film.
Morgan Housel: Exactly a year ago I interviewed half a dozen well-known economists, investors, and journalists. I asked each one what worried them most as we headed into 2012. Without fail, every one said Europe, Europe, Europe. It was hard to argue with them.
What's surprised me the most about 2012 is that, unless you lived in a periphery European country, the region's fiscal madhouse hasn't been much of an issue for global markets. There was a deep scare in the late summer, but for most of the year I think policymakers handled the issue much better than nearly anyone imagined. This story is far from over and could change any day, but it was a good lesson in realizing that what seems obvious and a sure thing sometimes isn't.
Selena Maranjian: Biggest surprise of 2012? President Obama's re-election and how right political statistician Nate Silver turned out to be, when he trusted numbers. It shouldn't have surprised anyone, though, because of... math.
There's a lesson here for investors as well as election-watchers. Numbers matter. If you're excited about a company you're reading about and think it's headed to the moon, be sure to ground your hopes in a review of some of its numbers. Are its revenue and earnings numbers rising briskly -- or, gulp, are its debt and share-count numbers doing so? Profit margins and price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples are simple ratios. Fat profit margins suggest pricing power. Low P/E ratios (relative to a company's peers or its past numbers) suggest an attractive valuation.
Meanwhile, are you basing your retirement on savings in CDs? Have you run the numbers, to see what 2% growth over 20 years will do for you? It won't even double your money. Add long-term stocks to the mix, and if you average 7% growth over 20 years, you'll nearly quadruple your money. Look beyond stock stories and financial dreams to the numbers. They can tell you a lot.
Chuck Saletta: The biggest surprise of 2012 has to be the dramatic increase in U.S. domestic oil production. According to the U.S. Energy Information Agency: "The expected 760,000 barrel-per-day increase in U.S. crude oil production this year is the largest rise in annual output since the beginning of U.S. commercial crude oil production in 1859." With the increase, U.S. crude oil production has reached 6.5 million barrels per day, a rate not seen since 1998, nearly 15 years ago.
Much of that increase can be attributed to non-conventional shale reserves and hydraulic fracturing -- or "fracking", as it's often called. There's an old saying that "The cure for high prices is high prices." As this year's increase in U.S. oil production has shown, that saying has more than a small kernel of truth in it.

Domken Family Germany (Prussia) Research
I am looking for information regarding my Great Grandfather Frederich(k) Domke(n). I know he was born in Prussia in 1834 and came to the US between 1870 and 1880. He shows up for the first time in the 1880 New York census as living in Brooklyn with 3 children. His son, Emil born in 1881 is my grandfather. I cannot find records of his entering the US. I know his wife Sophie Reis Domke(n) left Germany From Wuertemberg. Whether she and Fred were married before entering the US is unknown. Fred's naturalization record does not indicate any background information. Just his name, dob, present residence and date of naturalization. I cannot find any definite information regarding his life in Prussia. I have checked Prussian war records and while there are several Domkes listed, none with his frist name, some without first name, and a few with first names, but am unsure if they are related.
Fred and Sophie(a) had four children. Edwin, never married and died in Denver in 1906, Amalia probably died as in infant, Bertha married to Louis Keiser and had two children William and Eleanor, and Emil married to Helen Curran arouond 1906.
Fred died in July 1989 and Sophie in January 1920.

Alabama Medicaid innovation goes nationwide
State governments stand to save billions of dollars in Medicaid prescription drug costs thanks to a new rule based on an Alabama cost-saving innovation. Instead of paying for drugs according to drug company price lists, which are often inflated, Alabama Medicaid got federal permission a few years ago to start reimbursing local pharmacies on the basis of what they actually pay for the medications.
UAB study finds huge economic benefits from Medicaid expansion
The economic benefits of Medicaid expansion in Alabama under the Affordable Care Act would far outweigh the state costs, according to a study released Nov. 5, 2012, by researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham's School of Public Health.

Al Coutinho abruptly resigned from his Assembly office this afternoon, in a brief letter of resignation addressed to Assembly clerk Dana Burley.
According to a report published this morning by The Star-Ledger, Coutinho's resignation was expected in connection with a criminal investigation involving his family's nonprofit foundation.
Related: Business is personal for Coutinho
The news comes just weeks after a bill Coutinho championed, the Economic Opportunity Act, made its way to the governor's desk. The bill, which has been closely tracked by the business community, will expand the state's corporate incentives programs and tie them closely to job creation.
Christie conditionally vetoed the measure on Monday. The Assembly quickly adopted his changes; the Senate is scheduled to take up the measure Thursday.
Related: More on the Economic Opportunity Act
Coutinho (D-Newark), who has served in the Assembly since 2008, announced in a statement last week that he would not seek re-election, and canceled a scheduled appearance Tuesday at a NAIOP New Jersey seminar in New Brunswick.
Coutinho was chairman of the Assembly's Commerce and Economic Development Committee, and was a member of the Assembly's budget and human services committees.

PlayStation Mobile dev portal opens, SDK available to all
PlayStation Mobile has opened its gates to all developers wanting to publish their creations on the platform. The PlayStation Mobile Developer Program is now taking registrations from all applicants. Check out the details below.
Over on PS Blog US, Sarah Thomson, senior manager of mobile content acquisition, declared the program open to all, and revealed that the PlayStation Mobile SDK can be downloaded for just $99.
All developers need to do is head to the PlayStation Mobile Developer Program site, register and pay the fee. The site is full of FAQs about how Sony does business, such as how it sets retail prices for submitted games and more,
Thompson and Sony hope the move will encourage an influx of content on PS Vita and PlayStation Mobile platforms, adding, "We believe we're in a 'golden age' of game development and the Dev Portal lowers the barriers of entry for developers to create and publish titles including games directly to the most die-hard and passionate fans in the industry.
"Our goal was to make publishing game and non-game titles for PlayStation Mobile an easy and enjoyable experience, and we've been working hard to ensure that the new Dev Portal accomplishes this objective."
Would lowering the barrier of entry for developers see an increase of indie software on PS Vita and other formats? What games would you like to see added? Let us know below.

Barrick Gold reaches initial deal with Chilean Indians who opposed Pascua-Lama mine in Andes
SANTIAGO, Chile – Barrick Gold said Wednesday that it has reached a preliminary deal with a Chilean indigenous group that it hopes will eventually open the way to restarting its Pascua-Lama mine high in the Andes.
The world's biggest gold producer said the memorandum of understanding was worked out with 15 Diaguita communities, which are just downstream from the mine straddling the Argentina-Chile border.
The Diaguitas have complained that Pascua-Lama threatens their water supply and pollutes nearby glaciers. In May 2013, Chile's environmental regulator blocked work at Pascua-Lama, citing "very serious" violations of its work permit. Then in October, Barrick announced it would suspend construction of the $8.5 billion mine.
The Toronto-based company said Wednesday that it seeks to put past clashes behind and "begin a new stage for Pascua Lama" committed to transparency and working closely with the local communities. The six-month deal allows the Diaguita to get firsthand information about the project and review it with experts.
"Although the Chilean side of Pascua-Lama is paralyzed, our goal is to get the permits to restart construction. This time, however, we want to do it hand-in-hand with the communities," said Eduardo Flores Zelaya, the project's senior vice president. "We know restoring trust is a long process that requires consistency through time."
Members of the Diaguita community hailed the agreement as a victory.
"Environmentally speaking, this marks a milestone, and we hope that it also becomes a precedent so that all big companies learn how to respect the indigenous communities," Diaguita leader Solange Bordones told The Associated Press. "Today, it us who have to take over the reins and control our own land."
If the collaboration is successful, Barrick and the Diaguita will start a dialogue phase over two years, said Lorenzo Soto, a lawyer who represents the communities.
"For the Diaguita this is a triumph because in Chile the mining companies have traditionally stepped on the rights of the indigenous peoples," Soto said.
Authorities in Argentina have insisted that Lama, their side of the bi-national project, will proceed with or without Chile. But most of Pascua-Lama's estimated 18 million ounces of gold and 676 million ounces of silver are in Chile.

Mario Lopez and his wife, Courtney, are the proud parents of a new baby, the "Extra" and "The X Factor" host announced late Monday on Twitter.
"It's a boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!," Mario tweeted about 11:30 p.m. "Please welcome Dominic Lopez to the world! Couldn't be happier... @CourtneyMLopez & baby are doing just fine... :)"
"I am in heaven right now.... And in a bar," he tweeted an hour and a half later. "#CelebratingDominicLopez #BabyLopezNumber2."
Dominic had decided he was on the way while Dad was still at work, it seems.
"Whoa.. Cutting it close," Mario tweeted about 9:30 p.m. "Just wrapped @TheXFactorUSA & I'm rushing to the hospital. Baby Lopez #2 is coming tonight! Baby better wait for me."
A little after 10 p.m., he'd posted a picture of himself and Courtney "ready to go," just waiting for the doctor to arrive. Just like the first time around, they didn't know if it was going to be a boy or a girl.
Baby Dominic joins older sis Gia Francesca, who turns 3 on Wednesday. The Lopezes were married Dec. 1 of last year.
