After more than two decades dedicated to developing the theater community and its audiences in Philadelphia, the Theatre Alliance of Greater Philadelphia declares, "Mission accomplished." The alliance has announced its plans to discontinue operations at the end of its fiscal year on June 30.
Rather than compete for arts funding with the same theaters and artists it was created to serve, the nonprofit group's 25-member board of directors voted April 5 to turn over its responsibilities and support for theater in the region to other organizations, according to a memo released to members April 11. Margie Salvante, the Theatre Alliance's executive director since 2007, has also announced her resignation, effective June 30.
"We're trying very hard to avoid saying we're calling it quits," Salvante told Back Stage, "and instead we're declaring victory. We want very much to reassure the public at large that theater in Philadelphia is thriving as it never has before."
Philadelphia has 51 professional stages, the most in the city's history, and these area theaters employ more than 1,000 people, from actors, directors, and producers to costume, sound, lighting, and scenic designers, box-office personnel, and more. The region has nearly 1,000 Actors' Equity members.
This positive trend -- matched with a growing online community and more competitors moving into the market -- led the alliance to reconsider its role and the viability of its business model. A thriving theater scene was the goal when the alliance was formed in 1990. It is now a reality, and the alliance's job is done.
"So many arts organizations around the country are afraid of throwing in the towel or calling it quits that they continue to hang on well past their needs being met," Salvante said. "The Theatre Alliance board is trying to make a bold step."
While the name may fade, many of the Theatre Alliance's programs will live on. The Walnut Street Theatre will take over the alliance's annual combined auditions program, through which performers are able to audition for 30 or more artistic directors at one time. (The 2012 auditions will be held as planned on April 30.) The Wilma Theater will oversee the Tessitura Project, a ticketing system that 10 theaters use as their box-office program. The Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance -- which represents all of the arts in the area, including theater -- is considering taking on some of the Theatre Alliance's membership services and audience development program, including online theater listings. The fate of the annual Barrymore Awards is undecided, but Salvante promises that the awards will continue to honor excellence in theater.
Tom Kaiden, president of the Cultural Alliance, told Back Stage that tough economic times have made all cultural and service organizations re-examine their missions and re-evaluate the most effective ways to impact their communities. "I think that means ensuring that we're delivering on the essence of our mission as efficiently as we can," Kaiden said. "In some cases, that's going to lead to consolidation and collaboration, and in the long run that's a healthy thing for the sector, as long as we stay really focused on the critical role that culture plays in making for vibrant communities."
Philadelphia's Theatre Alliance Takes a Final Bow
After more than two decades dedicated to developing the theater community and its audiences in Philadelphia, the Theatre Alliance of Greater Philadelphia declares, "Mission accomplished." The alliance has announced its plans to discontinue operations at the end of its fiscal year on June 30.

AURORA, Colo. — As the new Batman movie played on the screen, a gunman dressed in black and wearing a helmet, body armor and a gas mask stepped through a side door. At first he was just a silhouette, taken by some in the audience for a stunt that was part of one of the summer's most highly anticipated films.
AURORA, Colo. — As the new Batman movie played on the screen, a gunman dressed in black and wearing a helmet, body armor and a gas mask stepped through a side door. At first he was just a silhouette, taken by some in the audience for a stunt that was part of one of the summer's most highly anticipated films.
But then, authorities said, he threw gas canisters that filled the packed suburban Denver theater with smoke, and, in the confusing haze between Hollywood fantasy and terrifying reality, opened fire as people screamed and dove for cover.
At least 12 people were killed and 59 wounded in one of the deadliest mass shootings in recent U.S. history.
"He looked like an assassin ready to go to war," said Jordan Crofter, a moviegoer who was unhurt in the attack early Friday, about a half-hour after the special midnight opening of "The Dark Knight Rises."
The gunman, identified by police as 24-year-old James Holmes, used a military-style semi-automatic rifle, a shotgun and a pistol, stopping only to reload.
The suspect marched up the aisle in the stadium-style theater, picking off those who tried to flee, witnesses said. Authorities said he hit 71 people. One of them was struck in an adjacent theater by gunfire that went through the wall.
"He would reload and shoot and anyone who would try to leave would just get killed," said Jennifer Seeger, adding that bullet casings landed on her head and burned her forehead.
Within minutes, frantic 911 calls brought some 200 police officers, ambulances and emergency crews to the theater. Holmes was captured in the parking lot. Police said they later found that his nearby apartment was booby-trapped.
Authorities gave no motive for the attack. The FBI said there was no indication of ties to any terrorist groups.
In New York City, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said: "It clearly looks like a deranged individual. He has his hair painted red. He said he was the Joker, obviously the enemy of Batman."
Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates would not confirm that information, but did say he had spoken to Kelly. The two used to work together in New York. Asked whether Holmes had makeup to look like the Joker, Oates said: "That to my knowledge is not true."
It was the worst mass shooting in the U.S. since the Nov. 5, 2009, attack at Fort Hood, Texas. An Army psychiatrist was charged with killing 13 soldiers and civilians and wounding more than two dozen others.
It was the deadliest in Colorado since the Columbine High School massacre in suburban Denver in 1999, when two students killed 12 classmates and a teacher and wounded 26 others before killing themselves.*****
See below for video reports on the shooting.
The new Batman movie, the last in the trilogy starring Christian Bale, opened worldwide Friday with midnight showings in the U.S. The plot has the villain Bane facing Bale's Caped Crusader with a nuclear weapon that could destroy all of fictional Gotham.
The shooting prompted officials to cancel the red-carpet premiere in Paris, and some U.S. movie theaters stepped up security for daytime showings.
The film's director, Christopher Nolan, issued a statement on behalf of the cast and crew, expressing their "profound sorrow at the senseless tragedy."
"Nothing any of us can say could ever adequately express our feelings for the innocent victims of this appalling crime, but our thoughts are with them and their families," Nolan said.
The attack began shortly after midnight at the multiplex in Aurora, an urban community on Denver's eastside. Audience members said they thought it was part of the movie, or some kind of stunt associated with it.
The film has several scenes of public mayhem — a hallmark of superhero movies. In one scene, Bane leads an attack on a stock exchange, and in another he leads a shooting and bombing rampage on a packed football stadium.
A federal law enforcement official said Holmes bought a ticket to the show, went into the theater as part of the crowd and propped open an exit door as the movie was playing. The suspect then donned protective ballistic gear and opened fire, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation.
At some point, the gunman appeared to have stepped outside because several witnesses saw him come through the door.
"All I saw is the door swinging open and the street lights behind, and you could see a silhouette," said Crofter, who was sitting on the left side of the theater and toward the front.
Sylvana Guillen said the gunman, clad in dark clothing, appeared at the front of the theater as the character Catwoman appeared in the movie. Then they heard gunshots and smelled smoke from a canister he was carrying.
As she and her friend, Misha Mostashiry, ran to the exit, Guillen said, they saw a man slip in the blood of a wounded woman he was trying to help.
Oates said the gunman wore a gas mask and a ballistic helmet and vest, as well as leg, groin and throat protectors. He said among the guns was an AR-15 rifle and that the gunman used two gas canisters.

"Any plan imperfectly executed is better than no plan perfectly executed." -Scott Sorrell
Business planning ain't easy - trust me, I know. (Why do you think I became a writer for a living? Because I'm organized? Able to develop strategic plans? Use basic mathematics properly??? Hardly!!!)
Yet the key to business survival and (we all hope) eventual success comes down to strategy -how you get from here to there, generating the necessary revenues, profits, and cash flows to keep things in good working order. It's the same mantra coffee shops, factories and (yes) truckers must follow.
As usual, Professor Jerry Osteryoung from the college of business at Florida State University has some thoughts on this subject, gleaned from years spent teaching and coaching a wide variety of business entrepreneurs. So I'm getting to let him share his ideas about strategic planning. Professor, the floor is yours:
"Over the last 13 years I have conducted over 100 strategic planning sessions for all different type and sizes of companies. Five years ago, I did a strategic planning session for one company that had some real organizational and profitability issues. This company wanted to meet with me recently to discuss their progress. During this meeting they showed me how they had passed every single one of their five-year goals. They were so proud of this effort and I was proud of them. Unfortunately, this company is unique as so many companies do strategic planning and then file them under 'dust collectors.'
The point with strategic planning is that - while the planning process is important - even more important are the processes for implementing the plan and the processes to benchmark the plan against the actual results. Just having a plan is not good enough!
The firms that I have seen most successful with this implementation process are those firms who monitor how they are doing against the plan in their monthly meeting. If they are falling behind, they typically discuss what is holding them back and if the plan has to be revised, the corrective actions they are going to take.
One big stumbling block in the implementation of strategic planning is that strategic planning and budgeting decision are kept separate. The separation of these two functions almost always guarantees that there will not be adherence to the strategic plan. A far more effective process is to start any budgeting process with a review of the strategic plan and discussing how every expenditure must relate to the accomplishment of the plan.
When developing a strategic plan I always, work to ensure that the goals are quantitative and define how they are going to be measured. For example, if one of your goals is to expand into a new market, you would identify the target number of new customers per year from this market. The point being that the goals for any strategic plan must be measurable. Some of these measurements that you can use are typically, sales growth rate, profits, number of employees, market penetration, amount of debt, morale of organization, and community presence. Bottom line is that if you cannot measure it, then it generally is not an effective goal.
If strategic planning and implementation is going to be successful, then it must be communicated to all levels in the organization and not just the upper levels of management. Each and every employee needs to understand their role in achieving the goals and how these goals contribute to the success of the company. Once they understand this, your employees need to be informed on the progress towards the goals and how 'their' company is doing in achieving the strategic plan. This is critical to a successful implementation of the strategic plan.
Finally, it is important is recognize when the plan is no longer viable or operational. Strategic planning is more of an art than a science since the process requires you to predict the future. As we are all aware, it is difficult to foresee change especially in areas where we have no control like the shifts in the economy. This is why it is critical to constantly monitor your plan and adjust to the changing conditions. If the plan needs to be changed or trashed, then this must be done along with a new set of parameters to measure the success of this revised plan. This new plan then needs to be communicated to the staff along with an explanation for the changes."
Professor Osteryoung is also the director of outreach for the Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship within the college of business at Florida State University. He was the founding executive director of the Jim Moran Institute and served in that position from 1995 through this year.

[b]Space law expert: Before humans step into commercial spaceflight, laws need to make next leap[/b]
SpaceX's Tuesday launch of its Dragon capsule atop its Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station opens a new era in commercial spaceflight. It also raises a new round of questions about what laws govern private space companies and what legal obstacles may impede future human space travel, a space law expert said.
If commercial space carriers' shuttling of supplies to the ISS, as with Dragon, evolves into the ferrying of astronauts and other human passengers into space, then a new set of legal issues will emerge, said Frans von der Dunk, professor of space law at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Law.
"For a commercial vendor, bringing cargo to the International Space Station is relatively simple if it's correctly arranged and includes the involvement of the partners in the ISS venture, if appropriate," von der Dunk said. "However, the next step already looms."
That phase involves human cargo, he said. In our post-Space Shuttle world, only Russia currently has the capability to bring humans to the station and back, which likely will bring rapid rise to commercial space companies with plans to transport astronauts to the ISS.
Von der Dunk said that practice would raise a whole new set of legal concerns, including the legal status of the craft, crew and passengers; issues of third-party liability; and the limit of validity in a courtroom of operators' "informed consent" protection.
Currently under FAA regulations, commercial space operators are allowed to operate without properly certified craft and as long as their passengers fly under a simple "informed consent" regime that basically waives liability towards such passengers, he said. "But if NASA is going to let SpaceX fly its astronauts, is it going to accept such informed consent?" von der Dunk asked. "That's doubtful."
As long as "informed consent" is not defined in greater detail, he said, it will raise legal concerns regarding technology transfer under International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITARs), which control the export and import of defense-related articles and services. This could be relevant if, for example, a non-U.S. passenger is instructed to comply with informed consent on the technological safety features and history of the commercial craft.
Questions also persist about how the current "informed consent" legal framework would hold up in court against actions such as gross negligence or willful misconduct, he said. Von der Dunk said determining, in much greater detail, what "informed consent" means in space cases will be essential to answering many of the issues.
Finally, von der Dunk called for substantial international consultations on the activity, owing to the enterprises around the globe that are readying commercial space initiatives. He noted that Virgin Galactic has plans to launch similar flights from variousother places on Earth such as Sweden, Space Adventures from Singapore and the United Arab Emirates, and XCOR is teaming up with SXC to fly from Curaçao, he said.
"While moving from cargo to manned ISS services may seem a small step for business, it requires a major leap for the space lawyers," von der Dunk said.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Brendan Everman has been elected captain of the Yale men's swimming and diving team for the 2005-2006 season. A valuable contributor in the distance events, Everman placed in the top 16 in the 400IM, 1000 Free, and 1650 Free at the 2005 EISL championships.
A graduate of Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, Calif., Everman was an Academic All-American and captained both the water polo and swim teams.

The founder and CEO of our company (see arthurkurzweil.com) uses the caricature provided in connection with publicity for his professional, spiritually oriented magic shows. He has recently decided to create and produce a cool line of new magic tricks.
We will be marketing to magicians, but also to teachers, clergy and anyone who wants easy-to-do, thought provoking illusions, with a philosophical, spiritual twist.
We want the logo to include our company name and the caricature. Please note that the caricature has Hebrew letters in it.
We want the name of the company to be very easy to read.
Feel free to use as much color as necessary. The logo is black, but you can use color instead.
We will be using the logo in magazine ads, on our product packaging, and elsewhere.
We are excited to see something new and inventive--almost magical.
We are eager to use a logo that creatively combines the caricature with the name of the company.
Don't use any images common to magic: no top hats, cards, rabbits, etc.
Could the logo include an optical illusion? This is not essential, but it would be cool!
We want the logo to convey the spiritual and philosophical side of our tricks.
In summary, we need the logo to include the caricature and the company name/website:

In Reply to: The Grotesque in Bacon's Instinctive Paintings posted by Luis Mariano Akerman on May 24, 19100 at 07:49:02:
: "Bacon's paintings are both mysterious and suggestive. They are ambiguous and constitute symbols of multi-levelled significance, which is conveyed through the artist's manipulation of the grotesque. [...] As configurations of the ambiguous, Bacon's instinctive paintings engender both curiosity and perplexity, and often also attraction and repulsion at the same time. Because a well-balanced yet disquieting interplay between fear and desire, vulnerability and cruelty, suffering and apathy is characteristic of Bacon's instinctive paintings.
: Tension and intensity, the combination of incompatible elements, and suggestions of the monstruous or the inhuman abound in the artist's imagery. [...] Bacon uses the grotesque as a means of self-expression which enables him to ambiguously communicate not only his fascination with power and violence, but also his haunted condition. The grotesque is used as both a means of purgation and trascendence.
: Despite their grotesque appearance, Bacon's instinctive paintings are far from being ornaments. On the contrary, they are inalienable personal reports encapsulating a private truth, namely, the artist's contradictory feelings and sensations, which are neither decorative nor entirely evasive. Through his instinctive paintings, Bacon willingly walks along the border of an emotional precipice, suggesting his obssession with sex and death, his apathy in matters of vulnerability and suffering, and his total fascination with power and aggressiveness. The deep impact and suggestiveness of Bacon's imagery simultaneously reveals and conceals the artist's ultimate intentions in such a blurred way that identity itself becomes problematic. Moreover, by depicting the ambiguously combined and the equivocally suggestive Bacon disorients the viewer, who cannot establish precise meaning in his ever-changing images. Various readings are thus possible and they seem all equally valid. Considering that instinct implies the abolishment of morals, at the time of contemplating Bacon's imagery, we are to arrive at our own moral conclusions--certainly irrelevant to the artist and his calculated lack of concern. At this point everything melts under our feet, because in Bacon's grotesque realm the only safe given is insecurity.
: His instinctive paintings, on the other hand, are certainly not the product of accident or chance, as the artist claimed. They constitute carefully planned compositions which are suggestively related to the artist's own life and function as mysterious, anti-illustrational traps suggesting the monstrously cruel.
: In this context, we realize Bacon's manipulation of the grotesque and the artist's fundamental intervention in turning it into a useful vehicle for self-expression. Bacon's instinctive images thus prove to be profound but problematic--a New Grand Manner of Painting merging the defiantly powerful, the disquietingly extraordinary, the suggestively monstrous, the sarcastically allusive, the theatrically manipulative, and the extremely personal.
: As a species of confussion par excellence, the grotesque suspends belief and invites a search for meaning. Pushing us to consider alternative posibilities, the grotesque paralyses language and challenges categories.
: Grotesque art is essentially thought-enlarging art. This is true in Bacon's case, whose grotesque art conveys immediacy and suggests multilayered ideas, granting us an active role as both spectators and interpreters. This is possibly the ultimate meaning of the artist's pictorial freedom, which he has achieved through a singular manipulation of the grotesque. Indeed, the entirely personal element that inhabits Bacon's instinctive paintings has an immense capacity to open the valves of feeling. It is this expressive, ever-changing element of Bacon's suggestive art which I find extraordinarily rich: pictorial instinct is a provocative, grotesque element which coherently unites Bacon's truth and our freedom."

On my way home from Eṣfahān I visited the next CP alongside the road.
This one was really easy to reach. The only regret I had was that the field, on which the CP is situated, hadn't been harvested yet. I sincerely hope I didn't do too much damage to the wheat.
This CP is 386 m away from the main road. The altitude is 2039 m.

The fiscal health and financial performance of U.S. credit unions declined from first quarter 2013 to second quarter 2013, according to the latest Glatt Consulting Credit Union Industry HealthScore.
According to the recent analysis released Tuesday, credit union health declined from a first-quarter figure of 2.446 to second-quarter score of 2.402. Quarter-to-quarter score comparisons between first and second quarter show a 1.76% decline in the overall industry score, driven by lower scores for efficiency, operating expense, delinquency, asset growth and membership growth.
On a positive note, scores for net worth, return on average assets, charge offs, deposit relationships and loan relationships showed improvement, according to the report from consultant Tom Glatt Jr. in Wilmington, N.C.
Glatt Consulting's HealthScore process is based on best-practice performance thresholds for 11 different key credit union metrics. Individual credit union performance is analyzed against performance thresholds for each metric, a process that results in metric-specific health scores. These scores are then averaged to arrive at an overall health score for the credit union. Using these institution-specific scores, the process is repeated to derive scores for the industry itself.
Many of the changes quarter-to-quarter, positive and negative, were driven by common seasonal influences impacting asset and membership growth, the consulting firm said.
The greatest score decline was for efficiency, which measures the relationship between operating expenses and income. Efficiency often fluctuates between positive and negative changes, but given legislative/regulatory decisions impacting non-interest income, tight margins due to the low interest rates, and seemingly perpetual increases in operating expenses, the "normal" trend has been continuous negative scores.
Though well removed from the lowest historical score of 2.148 calculated for the first quarter of 2009 during the latest recession, recent scores rank below the industry average score of 2.420. The highest current individual health score is 4.727, while the lowest is 0.18. These scores are held by credit unions in Ohio and Illinois, respectively, the consulting firm added.

No details of recording dates or venue give
As a great admirer of the Art of Lucia Popp I am probably not the
most objective critic of this album. Trying to keep from simply burbling
appreciatively I have to say that the music-making on this disc is a
complete delight. It also has to be said that if it can be considered a
triumph of performance it is something of a train-wreck as a production.
Consider the following. Acanta have licensed this 1979 playrighted disc - no
recording details are given - and are trying to sell it in a crowded,
money-conscious marketplace. It is priced around the £10.00 mark with
some retailers going up as high as £14.00 for a disc with no texts and
a stingy sub-forty-five minute playing time. Delighted as I am to see Popp
given top-billing it is only fair to say that it is in fact trumpeter Carol
Dawn Reinhart who is present in every work not Popp. If it is Popp
you are after, Acanta are happy to shoot themselves in the foot. By this I
refer to that fact that all of the same performances/movements with Popp are
also available in a 4 disc compilation from Acanta called Lucia Popp: The
Unforgotten which is available from the same retailer who charges
£14.00 for the single disc for £11.88 for four … less
elsewhere. Finally add a remarkably drab picture of Popp alone on the cover
and I would have thought the chance of anyone impulse-purchasing this disc
will be all but nil.
I would rather focus on the music-making. Popp is her predictably
superb self. There's her accustomed bright focused tone with a
palpable sense of joy and vigour in all she does. Reinhardt on trumpet is
excellent as is the orchestral accompaniment from the Amsterdamer
Kammerorchester under Marius Voorberg. The orchestral style is what one
might call 'historically informed modern'. It's neat and
light playing but on modern instruments. The one real loss in opting for the
four disc set over this version is the omission of the second (bass) aria of
the short but gem-like Telemann Psalm 111 setting. Jorma Hynninen's
voice at this time matches Popp well - clear and well focused with a lighter
tone than he seems to have developed in later years. This is the finest,
most characterful of his three contributions to the disc. The Messiah
bass aria The trumpet shall sound is given in its German version - as
is Popp's excerpt from Samson. Hynninen presents a very lithe
and attractive version if one rather short on the implicit drama. The
orchestral accompaniment too slightly smoothes off the dotting of the
rhythms to the detriment of the piece. Likewise, his Christmas
Oratorio excerpt is perfectly good but not really a reason to beat a
path to this particular disc's door.
The glorious Bach Cantata Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen BWV51
is just such a reason - and it is complete on the multi-disc set above too.
Popp is perfect to my ear. For sure hers may not be the most purely
beautiful soprano voice ever to essay the work - I grew up with Elly
Ameling's serenely sublime recording - but Popp captures the joyful
spirit to perfection. The two outer movements feature Reinhart's
beautifully controlled trumpet playing and the engineers have effectively
balanced her to the voice with Popp centre-right and Reinhart centre-left.
The three central movements are a delight too. In the recitative the tenuto
string phrasing belies the old-fashioned non-authentic approach but the
flowing tempo allows Popp's silvery delivery to float ecstatically
above it in bright-eyed wonder. Lovely playing too from the two concertante
violin parts in the penultimate 'choral' Sei Lob und Preis
mit Ehren - another of those miraculous fusions of chorale and
contrapuntal writing that Bach seemed able to write at will. The closing
Alleluja is as life-enhancing a piece of baroque music as any I know
and Popp is fully in control of all of the considerable technical demands it
makes of the singer both in terms of tessitura and contrapuntal technique.
A performance of considerable stature then and one I am delighted to
have heard but Acanta need to reassess their business and pricing model for
re-releases of such high artistic merit to attain the commercial success
they deserve.

"Whether you are a student of yoga or would like to become more familiar with this ancient Indian tradition, you will find this an easy-to-read guidebook that is based on authentic writings and experiences of some of India's great yogis." —Booklist
"Certainly a staple of any well-rounded yoga collection." —Library Journal
"Feuerstein's guide is an important pointer in the right direction that should also help readers understand the astonishingly sophisticated system that has emerged from a 5,000-year-old Indian spiritual tradition." —Publishers Weekly
"This is a classic book for every Yoga enthusiast, whether neophyte or seasoned practitioner." —Sarah Powers, author of Insight Yoga
"This was one of my first philosophical books on Yoga, and it gave me a strikingly clear and accessible doorway into the historically rich interwoven layers of this diverse path. Each time I reread it, I am delighted to find new insights and connections that I had missed before." —Sarah Powers, author of Insight Yoga
"If you're looking for a comprehensive yet very readable introduction to the important schools and practices of the Yoga tradition, look no further. A master work by a master scholar-practitioner, this is the only book I ever recommend to students wanting to lay a historical and philosophical foundation as they begin the serious study of Yoga." —Richard Rosen, author of The Yoga of Breath
"This is an excellent little introduction to some of the practices and theologies of Yoga, with particular emphasis on the Tantra traditions, which, although not mainstream in Hinduism, have recently become popular in the West. Feurerstein is taken seriously by both academics and yogis, and authoritatively combines the qualities of scholarship with the sensitivities of a practitioner. I always learn much from his writings." —Edwin Bryant, professor of Hindu Religion and Philosophy, Rutgers University

If that's what you might think, you would be wrong.
In fact, such a document was recovered in a raid by Swiss authorities in November 2001, two months after the horror of 9/11. Since that time information about this document, known in counterterrorism circles as "The Project", and discussion regarding its content has been limited to the top-secret world of Western intelligence communities. Only through the work of an intrepid Swiss journalist, Sylvain Besson of Le Temps, and his book published in October 2005 in France, La conquête de l'Occident: Le projet secret des Islamistes (The Conquest of the West: The Islamists' Secret Project), has information regarding The Project finally been made public. One Western official cited by Besson has described The Project as "a totalitarian ideology of infiltration which represents, in the end, the greatest danger for European societies."
Now FrontPage readers will be the first to be able to read the complete English translation of The Project.
What Western intelligence authorities know about The Project begins with the raid of a luxurious villa in Campione, Switzerland on November 7, 2001. The target of the raid was Youssef Nada, director of the Al-Taqwa Bank of Lugano, who has had active association with the Muslim Brotherhood for more than 50 years and who admitted to being one of the organization's international leaders. The Muslim Brotherhood, regarded as the oldest and one of the most important Islamist movements in the world, was founded by Hasan al-Banna in 1928 and dedicated to the credo, "Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. Qur'an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope."
The raid was conducted by Swiss law enforcement at the request of the White House in the initial crackdown on terrorist finances in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. US and Swiss investigators had been looking at Al-Taqwa's involvement in money laundering and funding a wide range of Islamic terrorist groups, including Al-Qaeda, HAMAS (the Palestinian affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood), the Algerian GIA, and the Tunisian Ennahdah.
Included in the documents seized during the raid of Nada's Swiss villa was a 14-page plan written in Arabic and dated December 1, 1982, which outlines a 12-point strategy to "establish an Islamic government on earth" – identified as The Project. According to testimony given to Swiss authorities by Nada, the unsigned document was prepared by "Islamic researchers" associated with the Muslim Brotherhood.
What makes The Project so different from the standard "Death of America! Death to Israel!" and "Establish the global caliphate!" Islamist rhetoric is that it represents a flexible, multi-phased, long-term approach to the "cultural invasion" of the West. Calling for the utilization of various tactics, ranging from immigration, infiltration, surveillance, propaganda, protest, deception, political legitimacy and terrorism, The Project has served for more than two decades as the Muslim Brotherhood "master plan". As can be seen in a number of examples throughout Europe – including the political recognition of parallel Islamist government organizations in Sweden, the recent "cartoon" jihad in Denmark, the Parisian car-burning intifada last November, and the 7/7 terrorist attacks in London – the plan outlined in The Project has been overwhelmingly successful.
Rather than focusing on terrorism as the sole method of group action, as is the case with Al-Qaeda, in perfect postmodern fashion the use of terror falls into a multiplicity of options available to progressively infiltrate, confront, and eventually establish Islamic domination over the West. The following tactics and techniques are among the many recommendations made in The Project:
In reading The Project, it should be kept in mind that it was drafted in 1982 when current tensions and terrorist activities in the Middle East were still very nascent. In many respects, The Project is extremely prescient for outlining the bulk of Islamist action, whether by "moderate" Islamist organizations or outright terror groups, over the past two decades.
At present, most of what is publicly known about The Project is the result of Sylvain Besson's investigative work, including his book and a related article published last October in the Swiss daily, Le Temps, L'islamisme à la conquête du monde (Islamism and the Conquest of the World), profiling his book, which is only available in a French-language edition. At least one Egyptian newspaper, Al-Mussawar, published the entire Arabic text of The Project last November.
In the English-language press, the attention paid to Besson's revelation of The Project has been almost non-existent. The only mention found in a mainstream media publication in the US has been as a secondary item in an article in the Weekly Standard (February 20, 2006) by Olivier Guitta, The Cartoon Jihad. The most extensive commentary on The Project has been by an American researcher and journalist living in London, Scott Burgess, who has posted his analysis of the document on his blog, The Daily Ablution. Along with his commentary, an English translation of the French text of The Project was serialized in December (Parts I, II, III, IV, V, Conclusion). The complete English translation prepared by Mr. Burgess is presented in its entirety here with his permission.
The lack of public discussion about The Project notwithstanding, the document and the plan it outlines has been the subject of considerable discussion amongst the Western intelligence agencies. One US counterterrorism official who spoke with Besson about The Project, and who is cited in Guitta's Weekly Standard article, is current White House terrorism czar, Juan Zarate. Calling The Project a Muslim Brotherhood master plan for "spreading their political ideology," Zarate expressed concerns to Besson because "the Muslim Brotherhood is a group that worries us not because it deals with philosophical or ideological ideas but because it defends the use of violence against civilians."
One renowned international scholar of Islamist movements who also spoke with Besson, Reuven Paz, talked about The Project in its historical context:
The Project was part of the charter of the international organization of the Muslim Brotherhood, which was official established on July 29, 1982. It reflects a vast plan which was revived in the 1960s, with the immigration of Brotherhood intellectuals, principally Syrian and Egyptians, into Europe.
As Paz notes, The Project was drafted by the Muslim Brotherhood as part of its rechartering process in 1982, a time that marks an upswing in its organizational expansion internationally, as well as a turning point in the alternating periods of repression and toleration by the Egyptian government. In 1952, the organization played a critical support role to the Free Officers Movement led by Gamal Abdul Nasser, which overthrew King Faruq, but quickly fell out of favor with the new revolutionary regime because of Nasser's refusal to follow the Muslim Brotherhood's call to institute an ideologically committed Islamic state. At various times since the July Revolution in 1952, the Brotherhood has regularly been banned and its leaders killed and imprisoned by Egyptian authorities.
Since it was rechartered in 1982, the Muslim Brotherhood has spread its network across the Middle East, Europe, and even America. At home in Egypt, parliamentary elections in 2005 saw the Muslim Brotherhood winning 20 percent of the available legislative seats, comprising the largest opposition party block. Its Palestinian affiliate, known to the world as HAMAS, recently gained control of the Palestinian Authority after elections secured for them 74 of 132 seats in the Palestinian Legislative Council. Its Syrian branch has historically been the largest organized group opposing the Assad regime, and the organization also has affiliates in Jordan, Sudan, and Iraq. In the US, the Muslim Brotherhood is primarily represented by the Muslim American Society (MAS).
Since its formation, the Muslim Brotherhood has advocated the use of terrorism as a means of advancing its agenda of global Islamic domination. But as the largest popular radical movement in the Islamic world, it has attracted many leading Islamist intellectuals. Included among this group of Muslim Brotherhood intellectuals is Youssef Qaradawi, an Egyptian-born, Qatar-based Islamist cleric.
As one of the leading Muslim Brotherhood spiritual figures and radical Islamic preachers (who has his own weekly program on Al-Jazeera), Qaradawi has been one of the leading apologists of suicide bombings in Israel and terrorism against Western interests in the Middle East. Both Sylvain Besson and Scott Burgess provide extensive comparisons between Qaradawi's publication, Priorities of the Islamic Movement in the Coming Phase, published in 1990, and The Project, which predates Qaradawi's Priorities by eight years. They note the striking similarities in the language used and the plans and methods both documents advocate. It is speculated that The Project was either used by Qaradawi as a template for his own work, or that he had a hand in its drafting in 1982. Perhaps coincidentally, Qaradawi was the fourth largest shareholder in the Al-Taqwa Bank of Lugano, the director of which, Youssef Nada, was the individual in whose possession The Project was found. Since 1999, Qaradawi has been banned from entering the US as a result of his connections to terrorist organizations and his outspoken advocacy of terrorism.
For those who have read The Project, what is most troubling is not that Islamists have developed a plan for global dominance; it has been assumed by experts that Islamist organizations and terrorist groups have been operating off an agreed-upon set of general principles, networks and methodology. What is startling is how effectively the Islamist plan for conquest outlined in The Project has been implemented by Muslims in the West for more than two decades. Equally troubling is the ideology that lies behind the plan: inciting hatred and violence against Jewish populations around the world; the deliberate co-opting and subversion of Western public and private institutions; its recommendation of a policy of deliberate escalating confrontation by Muslims living in the West against their neighbors and fellow-citizens; the acceptance of terrorism as a legitimate option for achieving their ends and the inevitable reality of jihad against non-Muslims; and its ultimate goal of forcibly instituting the Islamic rule of the caliphate by shari'a in the West, and eventually the whole world.
If the experience over the past quarter of a century seen in Europe and the US is any indication, the "Islamic researchers" who drafted The Project more than two decades ago must be pleased to see their long-term plan to conquer the West and to see the Green flag of Islam raised over its citizens realized so rapidly, efficiently and completely. If Islamists are equally successful in the years to come, Westerners ought to enjoy their personal and political freedoms while they last.

Something went wrong with you quoting above, Shirley. Multikey is an excellent resource, which enables the user to type more than just polytonic Greek, if there should ever be a need to do so, but the polytonic Greek works just fine. As for accents, sure it's a later development, but still one developed in antiquity part of the purpose of which was to help non-native speakers of Greek better learn the language. So let's not be to dismissive of them. Such an acute rejection could have grave results, but let's stay roundly flexible on the whole subject.I've found out how to type polytonic Greek without a polytonic Greek keyboard, just by using a polytonic Unicode font with MSWord and the "insert character" shortcut keys.. Using "insert character" one can assign short-cuts for all the common Greek characters - I use "Alt + corresponding key", then save the shortcuts. It works better than any of the virtual keyboards I've tried, and my Beginning Greek students are now typing polytonic Greek with very few problems after just a couple of months, starting from scratch with the language.
To use it with BGreek messages, I type the Greek in a seperate Word .doc, and just copy and paste it into the BGreek message box.
There are a couple of doc and pdf files at http://www.drshirley.org/gr201/word-proc.html
which explain the process - and there are also some links for polytonic Unicode fonts.
I must confess, though, that I don't usually bother with the accents, unless it's to differentiate between liquid verb present and future, etc. - After all, the accents are a later development.
Hope this helps.

It works fine with Win8.

Things are easier nowadays. When I was younger I could not afford music and my parents rarely bought me a cassette or 7 inch single. These things were usually saved for Christmas or birthdays and to be honest I preferred getting games for the Sinclair Spectrum.
In the 1980s a good number of teenagers and children obtained their music by playing the charts on Radio 1 through a portable stereo.
With a 90 minute TDK cassette at the ready we would sit and wait for each song to come on from 40 down to 1 and every time a song we liked came on we would hit the play and record button.
Great care was taken to make sure we hit pause before the DJ ruined it all by speaking over the top and a pen was at the ready to write down the artist and song on the tiny lines made available on the inlay card.
If you were lucky enough your stereo had a counter which would tell you where in the tape each song started and finished so that you could fast forward and rewind to the songs you liked the best.
Now of course if you can get online then you can listen to most of the songs you want to listen to through sites such as Grooveshark or Spotify and there are a plethora of tools that enable you to rip songs from such sites.
If you are a younger person then your parents may limit your computer use and the price of music hasn't really come down all that much (especially in the UK).
If you are lucky enough to have a Raspberry PI then this guide will show you how to do the modern day version of recording off the radio. Now though you don't have to worry about the adverts because the software is clever enough to strip the adverts and the voice of the DJ. You also have a choice of thousands of radio stations.
By ripping music from the radio you will have access to music even when you can't get connected to the internet.
What do you need?
For this guide you will need a Raspberry PI (actually any computer running Linux will work but this guide is aimed at PI users primarily). I assume you already have your PI set up and ready to go but if not read this guide.
You will also need the application streamripper. This is the tool that we will be using to download music from the radio stations of your choice.
Finally it would help if there was a music player installed on the Raspberry PI to play the music through but you can always copy the music off and play it on your MP3 player. The player I recommend for the Raspberry PI is Guayadeque.
Installing streamripper
Open up a terminal window by double clicking on the LXTerm icon which is located on the desktop. (This assumes that you are using Raspbian).
Type the following command:
sudo apt-cache search streamripper
A list with about 6 or 7 applications are listed. We are going to download streamripper.
To install streamripper type the following command:
sudo apt-get install streamripper
To see if the install worked correctly type streamripper and press return.
A long list of options should appear. This lets you know that Streamripper is working.
Finding radio stations
There are other tools out there that make finding radio stations easy including streamtuner2 which can be downloaded from the repositories. I have deliberately chosen not to go down this route because there is a lot of questionable material within that application.
For the purpose of this guide we will use the humble web browser to search for online radio stations. Google is of course our friend and a search for online radio stations brings back 75 million results.
We will start with http://www.internet-radio.com/.
This site has a huge array of musical categories to choose from. You can browse through all the categories or use the search box to search for a style of music.
I am getting a bit old so out and out metal is no longer my scene. I prefer a little bit of ska punk such as "Less Than Jake" or "Reel Big Fish". Searching on Ska Punk only pulled back one station but one is enough.
Clicking on the link available I arrived at the radioi site and I was given an option to Listen. I do not however want to just listen. I want to download the tracks. To do this I need the URL to the radio stream.
In this case there is a little link just under the listen button. When I click the link it opens up a dialog box asking how I wish to open the linked file.
Now I do not want to actually open the listen.pls file. What I need from the above dialog is the URL which is http://220.127.116.11:8090.
Armed with this information I can now start ripping music from this station.
Rip music with streamripper
We will start with the simplest way to use streamripper.
To simply start ripping from an online radio stream type the following into a terminal window:
streamripper http://126.96.36.199:8090
Obviously you would need to replace the http part with the URL of the station you wish to rip from.
Streamripper will automatically skip parts of songs so you don't get half a song the first time you run it.
When the next song starts it will rip it into MP3 format.
So where does the file go? Streamripper creates a folder with the same name as the stream.
This is the simplest way to rip music. Start it running before you go to bed and by the morning you will have around 6 hours of music.
There are of course a plethora of options available with streamripper and I'm not going to pretend to understand all of them. There are in depth guides on the internet and of course you can type man streamripper to read the manual.
Organising the output
If you want to place the files in another folder you can specify an output folder as follows:
streamripper URL -d OutputFolder
The -d switch enables you to specify an output folder where the MP3s will be saved.
Replace the bit that says URL with the radio stream and replace OutputFolder with the name of the folder you wish to save the MP3s.
What will happen is that the stream will be created as a folder within the output folder specified. This is all well and good but what if you want all the songs in one folder no matter which online radio stream you use.
You can choose to suppress the creation of the stream folder by adding -s as follows:
streamripper URL -d OutputFolder -s
If you really like to control the naming of your files you can use the -D option with various switches as follows:
- %S – Stream
- %A – Artist
- %T – Title
- %a – Album
- %D – Date and time (per song)
- %d – Date and time (per execution)
- %q – Sequence number (automatic detection)
- %Nq – Sequence number (starting from number N)
- %% – Percent sign
If you want to rip to a single file you can specify the -a switch. This will create one large file. You can use the switches above to determine the name of the file.
It is possible that you already have a track that is being ripped again. You can choose whether to always overwrite the track, never overwrite the track, overwrite only if the file is larger or keep both tracks (renaming one).
To do this use the -o option with one of:
- never
- always
- larger
- version
The following is an example showing how to do this:
streamripper URL -d OutputFolder -o never
Determine how long to stream
If you have a download limit on your internet account then streaming music continuously will eat into your limit.
You do not however want to sit around for hours on end until you have reached your defined limit for the day.
Streamripper provides a number of options to determine how long to keep going.
The first switch you can use is -l. The -l switch determines how long in seconds you want streamripper to run.
To run streamripper for an hour type:
streamripper URL -l 3600
You can also keep ripping until a certain number of megabytes have been downloaded by using the -M switch.
To run streamripper until 50 megabytes have been used type:
streamripper URL -M 50
Handling the unexpected
As Streamripper is relying on an internet connection and the stream it is ripping it isn't guaranteed that Streamripper will rip for as long as specified by the -l or -M switches.
If the stream drops Streamripper will try and reconnect. If you do not want this to happen use the -c switch as follows:
streamripper URL -c
Sometimes the stream will hang which means nothing is being downloaded. If you specify the -m switch then Streamripper will shut down and restart in the specified number of seconds, for example:
streamripper URL -m 60
Playing the music
You can of course copy the downloaded MP3 files to an external MP3 device such as a Sony Walkman or you can copy the files onto a USB drive to be copied to another computer or you can play the music direct from your Raspberry PI.
I plan to write a more complete guide about playing music on the Raspberry PI soon so I won't go into too much detail here.
I have tried a number of options on the Raspberry PI and there are two that I would recommend generally but for beginners to Linux I would recommend Guayadeque as it is lightweight enough to run on the Raspberry PI but fully featured and easy enough to use.
To install Guayadeque open a terminal window and type:
sudo apt-get install guayadeque
When you start Guayadeque you will see a screen similar to the one above. Click on the My Music option in the "Local Media" section on the left hand side.
Guayadeque needs a path to import music from. To add a path click on the My Music tab and in the bottom window right click and select "collection -> add path" from the menu.
I don't think Guayadeque has the most intuitive interface but once you get used to it then it does what you want it to which is play music.
Find the path on your machine where you want to import the files from and click open.
The files will be added to the song window.
At this point you will notice that songs from the incomplete folders will probably have been imported as well. You can delete these by right clicking on the file and selecting remove from library.
By using the above technique you can import files in the same folders by choosing the rescan option. Therefore if you rip more and more music to the same folder structure Guayadeque can be kept up to date with the touch of a button.
There is however an easier way to import files and that is to use the file manager. Open up the file manager and find the MP3 files on your machine and drag and drop them into Guayadeque.
To play a track double click it. To queue multiple tracks drag them into the window marked "now playing".
This guide gives yet another use for the Raspberry PI, the £35 computer with seemingly endless possibilities.
With thousands of radio stations available, you will easily be able to find a stream that plays the music you like and then rip the music from that station to your Raspberry PI.
I do not know the legality of downloading music this way and it is up to each individual to check that ripping music does not violate any copyright laws.
If you are satisfied that you are within the boundaries for the law of the country you are living in or you are just going to stick it to the man anyway then happy ripping. (I take no responsibility for anybody dragged away in the night, extradited to the USA, and then ultimately incarcerated at Guantanamo Bay because they upset the record producers).
Thankyou for reading.
