Security Council Reform: Statement by Ambassador Herman Schaper on behalf of Belgium and the Netherlands
Statement of Ambassador Herman Schaper
in the General Assembly of the United Nations
on behalf of the Kingdom of Belgium and the Kingdom of the Netherlands
on the question of equitable representation on and increase in the membership of the Security Council and related matters.
14 November 2012
Mr President,
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to make a short statement on behalf of the Kingdom of Belgium and the Kingdom of the Netherlands on the question of Security Council reform.
First of all, I would like to thank you for your decision to reappoint ambassador Tanin as chairman of our intergovernmental negotiation process. Belgium and the Netherlands applaud your decision and we will fully support ambassador Tanin in his continuing efforts to bring this discussion to the next level, both on process and on content. We call upon the membership to do the same.
Mr President,
In its session of 13 September, the GA took an important step by prolonging the mandate of our open-ended working group and especially by taking note of the proposals of the Chair of these intergovernmental negotiations, ambassador Tanin.
In particular, we would like to highlight ambassadors Tanin's recommendation to take, as he called it, the next logical step, by having a genuine give and take based on a concise working document. As ambassador Tanin also recommended, this working document could be drafted by the Chair, on the basis of consultations with member states, in keeping with the membership-driven character of our process.
From the perspective of Belgium and the Netherlands, this recommendation could be a sound basis for our further work and mark the beginning of the next phase of the negotiations.
Belgium and the Netherlands are both committed to continue supporting further discussion where and when possible, to keep the momentum and to assist the membership to reach concrete results in the 67th session of the GA.
Our position is not based on the wish to achieve a specific national objective or to defend a specific national interest. What drives us is the goal of an effective, modernized and more legitimate Security Council, which reflects the geopolitical realities of the 21st century, and thus contributes to a more credible United Nations and a reinforced international system.
Thank you.

The citizens of Clawson gathered to have a celebration made up of kids games, an auction, a dinner and a flag retiring ceremony.
The children had fun eating shaved ice flavored with different flavors of syrup and eating pink cotton candy. Many of the children participated in several activities such as a game of ring toss, making decorative items, drawing pictures, making balloon animals and getting pictures painted on their faces.
Mari Jamison provided the snow cones and shaved ice, while Jerry Price was making cotton candy for the kids. A slight breeze was making some cotton candy fly in the air around the crowd. Jake Waddoups provided and made balloon figures for those that wanted a balloon.
The adults appeared to be having fun making the shaved ice, the cotton candy, the balloons, the art work for and with the children.
The auction was made up of items donated by more than 25 merchants from Emery County. The donated items ranged from gift certificates for video rentals, sets of tools, an I Pod, back to school items, kites, rifle scope with mount and a 20 gauge shot gun.
Travis Allen's flare for being an auctioneer made the auction exciting and fun for everyone, especially for the children that had money. The money collected from the auction goes to the city of Clawson.
A few of those that donated to Clawson's auction were Boyd's Pharmacy, Industrial Electric, Alco, Stewarts, Variety Video, Big Mama's Pizza, Food Ranch, J&D Auto, Ferron Co-op, Jones Ace Hardware, Gillys, Pat's Sewing Shop, The Grub Box, Emery Telcom, The Hair Clinic, Creative Floral and Gifts.
The city of Clawson provided the barbecued beef, the hamburger buns, and the root beer for the dinner. The citizens provided the casseroles, the salads and desserts.
The flag retiring ceremony did not happen due to the fact that the group that was supposed to provide the ceremony could not find enough members to participate.
One visitor, Dan Price came from as far away as Wellington to enjoy the Clawson Celebration.
Everyone enjoyed the games, the auction and the dinner.

Depending on your level of involvement in the digital industry, you might not have heard of near field communication (NFC) or you've heard so much of it you're starting to wonder if it's all hype. NFC relies on an underlying technology that wirelessly identifies objects from a short distance through tags that are inserted into pretty much anything. The benefit of NFC over something you're probably more familiar with like RFID, which is used in key fobs and current forms of electronic payment like PayPass, is that it can send and receive information two ways, where RFID is limited to sending information just one way.
This is a significant improvement over the existing technology because it's inexpensive, offers an increased efficiency in configuration and pairing, provides instantaneous connection between devices, and it enables interactive advertising opportunities for merchants.
The challenge for consumers
The challenge for adoption is to make it significantly easier and more convenient to use than the typical way we do things already. To become fully accessible, it must permeate our everyday actions in the same way text messages and emails have done. Marty Beard, president of Sybase, strongly believes that "for mobile commerce to take off, industry stakeholders must harmonize their efforts in the same way that led to proliferation of SMS and MMS technologies."
For consumers to see the value in using their mobile devices as a primary form of payment, it has to find an anchor in their lives and redefine the rituals of their everyday actions. To do this, the NFC forum has developed the three pillars for near field devices: sharing, pairing and paying. They believe that these modes are where it can have the most impact in people's lives.
The challenge is finding the incentive for consumers to switch from swiping to waving.
For example sharing, like Bump for iOS currently does, allowing you to exchange contact information on the fly. NFC can enable these interactions offline in a more convenient and instantaneous way. It also has the capacity to improve the pairing process between mobile devices and desktops. Imagine no more passwords, bluetooth pairing or router codes. This can all be stored on an NFC chip embedded in your device, and a single swipe is all it takes to verify your digital identity.
The most signifiant pillar is payment. Take Square for example: it enables merchants to accept payments virtually anywhere through mobile devices. The hardware they use to enable credit card swipes is a stopgap implementation—that's why they're actively giving Square dongles away for free. Their strategy is less about the hardware they use and more about the service they provide. I imagine that Square would readily adopt NFC-enabled devices when they become standardized and evolve their current hardware solution.
The challenge for merchants
Isis, a partnership between telecom juggernauts Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile, is actively developing the common standard for mobile payments that they hope will be eventually adopted by merchants. The challenge for merchants is putting faith into the added-value that these new systems can provide their customers, like coupons and loyalty programs.
Google has already integrated NFC support for Android 2.3 and is rumoured to be working with VeriFone to roll out point-of-sale solutions for merchants. Gingerbread users on the Nexus S, can start using Taglet right now and take advantage of contactless information.
The rumour mill is undoubtedly churning around the iPhone 5 and if it will be enabled for mobile payments. Some believe that Apple is concerned about the lack of standards across the industry. Yet others claim they have sources who confirm that Apple is looking at ways of integrating NFC into the next-gen iPhone.
RIM is also working on their own mobile payment solution. "Many, if not most, of BlackBerry devices throughout the year will have NFC in them," said CEO, Jim Balsillie at a mobile conference last month.
Japan has been using RFID-enabled mobile devices for some time and they're starting to adopt NFC more rapidly than the west. Mixi, Japan's biggest social network, will be rolling out new features that enable checking in through near field devices. The advantage of this over something like foursquare, is that it will continue to work in areas where GPS and data signals are weak. But the most interesting implementation are objects embedded with tags that can be shared across their network. Imagine reading a booking or unwrapping a new product you've purchased, waving your mobile device over it and sharing it as a status update. This is attractive to merchants because they can embed promotional information into their products which can tie into digital campaigns that run on Mixi.
The merchant perspective is similar to Apples. They aren't ready to adopt mobile payments and take on the risk of a potentially deprecated infrastructure. They'd prefer to wait for the industry to establish a common standard.
The challenge for designers
How NFC becomes adopted is an exercise for interaction and product designers. The idea that physical objects can talk to each other and exchange our personal information requires designers to have a deep understanding of the spatial dialogue in which they communicate. This is just a fancy way of saying that they need to know how things interact without touching. Timo Arnall and Jack Schulze from BERG, are actively engaged in design research, using prototypes, to experiment with the possibilities of near field devices. They've visualized what invisible radio waves look like when an NFC chip and reader are in proximity. They've been able to tease apart the nuances in the simple interactions involved in waving your device over a reader.
Possible use cases for the mobile wallet
Source: NFC Forum
These are just some the possible use cases identified by the NFC forum. The designer's goals is to uncover the pleasurable and motivating factors for consumers to use their mobile devices for payment instead of more familiar and established mechanisms. Consumers are comfortable with swiping their cards and there's nothing broken about it, so adopting a new technology for them is unnecessary. The challenge is finding the incentive for consumers to switch from swiping to waving. As industry practices and consumer behaviour become adjusted to mobile devices as the primary mode for sharing information and digital identities, we'll start to see an uptake in adoption. But the question remains as to just how quickly we'll start to see heavy adoption of the mobile wallet in the near future.

Sleep Train Celebrates 25th Anniversary
Sleep Train Celebrates the Sweet Dream of 25 Years in Business
Sacramento‐based Company Commemorates Milestone Anniversary
SACRAMENTO – June 1, 2010 – The year was 1985, the first version of Windows was released, "We are the World" was a pop sensation, the average home cost was $89,330, a gallon of gas cost $1.09, and legwarmers and stonewash jeans were all the rage. And, in Sacramento, a young man named Dale Carlsen opened the first Sleep Train Mattress Center, now the number one bedding specialist on the west coast and number four nationwide.
Beginning his career as a salesperson for local mattress manufacturer Lady Americana, Carlsen's experience inspired him to forego a traditional job path to pursue entrepreneurship and found Sleep Train, the top locally‐owned retailer of quality sleep products that emphasizes superior customer service, the lowest price – guaranteed, and a sustained commitment to its community. Sleep Train's first store was located on Folsom Boulevard in Sacramento, and Carlsen added a second store in Citrus Heights within eight months.
Starting with just two mattress lines, Sleep Train has grown to carry the industry's top brands, including Simmons, Sealy, Beautyrest, Posturepedic, Tempur‐Pedic, Stearns & Foster, and Serta Vera Wang.
"The success of our company is due to the great people I am blessed to work with each day," said Sleep Train founder and CEO Dale Carlsen. "My father's advice, when I started, was to surround myself with great people, treat them right and make everyone successful. We now have over 1,100 employees who are dedicated and skilled at providing the best customer experience possible. We have also surrounded ourselves with great manufacturers, media partners and personalities."
Sleep Train is celebrating 25 years in business with luau‐themed picnics for employees, prominence of its 25‐years during its annual golf charity event for Foster Kids and a special thank you anniversary event in its stores for customers, which will offer discounts of up to 40% off Posturepedic and Beautyrest products, $200 off Tempurpedic mattresses, and 36 months of interest‐free financing, starting June 7, 2010 through July 5, 2010.
Sleep Train has also been a long time sponsor of live music in the communities it serves with the amphitheater in Marysville and the Pavilion in Concord proudly carrying the Sleep Train name.
Today, Sleep Train is known for its superior customer service and team of knowledgeable sales individuals, as well as its continued commitment to the community with the Sleep Train Foster Kids program. Sleep Train stores are open Monday – Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Sleep Train locations can be found at www.sleeptrain.com or by calling 1‐800‐378‐BEDS (2337).

text: Annie Cheatham has been at the helm of the local food movement in western New England for decades. At the end of the month, she will step down as executive director of the organization she helped to start, "Community Involved in Sustaining Agriculture" or CISA. It's a mouthful of a name, but it's all about what you put in your mouth. CISA's goal is to help farmers strengthen their links with consumers and vendors. Cheatham says she's been aware of the economical and personal benefits of buying and eating local since she was a congressional aide in the 1970s. She told WFCR's Tina Antolini, her decision to champion the work of farmers was born out of that time, which was troublesome for farmers nationwide.

Constable knew this scene well: the Stour Valley from just outside the grounds of Old Hall in East Bergholt, with the churches of Langham and Stratford St Mary villages in the distance. He depicted the ploughmen at work in a manner typical of Suffolk, using a swing plough, which was light and required only a single ploughman and two horses working side by side (rather than a team of four), considered to be an efficient, modern mode of ploughing, contributing to the productivity of the area (Rosenthal 1983, pp. 18–19). And he depicted a 'summerland', a field that was ploughed and harrowed in the spring, left fallow over the summer months as part of a two-year crop rotation system, ready for manuring in autumn and sowing in winter (ibid., p. 12). The contemporary farmer or countryman would have appreciated this image of agricultural life of Suffolk (Rosenthal, p. 21).
Constable exhibited this first version of the subject at the Royal Academy in 1814 and at the British Institution in 1815, from where it was purchased by John Allnutt, a Clapham wine merchant and collector. As a result of this sale Constable was encouraged to pursue his career as a painter.
Beckett has suggested that 'in Constable's memory such scenes were gilded with the light of eternal summer and the picture stood for a symbol' (R.B. Beckett, 'A Summerland by John Constable', Art Quarterly, XXVII, summer 1964, p. 176). Constable certainly stressed the poetic aspect of the landscape, linking it to an established literary and pictorial tradition. In the 1814 Royal Academy catalogue, the entry for this work had an accompanying quotation from Robert Bloomfield's The Farmer's Boy – a long, 1500-line, four-part poem in heroic couplets composed between 1796–98 and published in 1800. This poem pointed to the solitary nature of the ploughman's work:
But, unassisted through each toilsome day, With smiling brow the Ploughman cleaves his way.
In making this reference to poetry Constable implied that the image was not just of a particular place, but also expressed a more general mood and atmosphere, the 'feel of nature'. Bloomfield was a 'peasant poet' of Suffolk, whose work appealed to Constable. He stressed the virtues of honest, hard farming life. Albert Boime has suggested that Bloomfield's vision of farming life 'appealed to the gentry, who identified themselves with his nostalgia for a bucolic past and his moralising posture on rural labour' (A. Boime, Art in an Age of Bonapartism 1800–1815, Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1990, p. 174).
Commentators have questioned whether Constable was sympathetic to the 'toilsome' labour of the workers in the field, or whether he had a more conservative view and simply saw them as part of the scene. Certainly, he portrayed this scene from a high vantage point so that the ploughmen seem to merge into the natural elements, small figures within the landscape (Rosenthal 1983, pp. 71–82).
In a letter to John Dunthorne senior of 22 February 1814, Constable wrote aboutthis painting:
I have added some ploughmen to the landscape from the park pales which is a great help, but I must try and warm the picture a little more if I can. But it will be difficult as 'tis now all of a piece – it is bleak and looks as if there would be a shower of sleet, and that you know is too much the case with my things(Beckett I, p. 101).
Constable based this view over the Stour Valley on drawings in his 1813 sketchbook. He also referred to his sketches of ploughmen in this sketchbook. With the inclusion of the figures of the ploughmen he not only added a point of interest but made the scene an agricultural landscape, celebrating country life.
This version of A ploughing scene in Suffolk was used as the basis for the mezzotint A summerland engraved by David Lucas .Constable made a second painting of the subject, A ploughing scene in Suffolk (A summerland) c.1824 .

Armored Truck Spews Money in New York
(WYNT) A woman was driving behind an armored truck when it suddenly started spewing thousands of dollars.
It happened on route 22 Tuesday morning, just north of the village of Salem. Pat Wesner was driving north in her Toyota sequoia with Darla, her old English sheep dog.
Wesner says a brinks armored truck passed her on the bumpy road.
And she remembers thinking to herself 'wouldn't it be great if money started pouring out."
Next thing she knew, it was.
"He hit a bump and a spray of change came out in front of my car and i looked and went 'oh my god, that's money!' he hit another bump and bills just flew out all over the place," said Wesner.
Wesner gathered it all up, all 11-thousand dollars of it and called police, staying there until they arrived.
Police eventually caught up with the brinks truck to let them know that they dropped something.
New York state trooper Kevin Saunders was the first officer on the scene. He believes the truck's rear door lock malfunctioned.
Wesner is the long-time director of the Pember Museum in Granville, New York.
She says the organization has to scrimp for every penny, but it never occurred to her to keep a cent of the money that came flying her way this morning.
"It's stealing if you take something that's not yours and i never even thought, you know i picked up a lot of bills that were on the ground and never even thought that I would put anything in my pocket. It didn't belong to me," said Wesner.
Brinks isn't commenting on the incident, but some are wondering if pat Wesner might be rewarded for her quick work and her honesty.

Hollywood has gotten so violent lately! In some cases, it makes action stars like Liam Neeson and Taken. In others, it makes us want to spew our dinner all over the people sitting in front of us (a la my experience of The Human Centipede II). Then you have the movies that disappointed us by not being violent enough, like The Hunger Games. When it comes to showing on-screen gore, no matter the genre — sci-fi, horror, action, drama — you can't please everyone.
But where I do think people will unite is over this great trending topic on Twitter today: #LessViolentFilms. We've compiled our favorite entries, from punsters who've reimagined old and new classics with a little less of the clawed-hands-coming-out-of-beds or faces-stapled-to-anuses and instead focusing on the more important elements of each movie. Check out the gallery and share your own in the comments!

Ekornes Stressless Chairs: An Introduction to Comfort
The Ekornes Stressless recliner was first introduced in Norway in 1971, and immediately attracted a great deal of attention. Ekornes ASA has since grown to be the largest furniture manufacturer in the Nordic region. The Ekornes Stressless Chair was marketed as a one of a kind chair, developed to be the perfect combination of comfort and functionality. This original chair became known as the first chair explicitly designed to make sedentary entertainment, like watching television or reading a book, comfortable. By 1981, sales of Ekornes Stressless Chairs had reached 100 million Norwegian Kroner, validating the company's promise. Later on in 1983, Ekornes was awarded the Norwegian Export Prize. The Stressless Chair has evolved several times over the past 40 years. The original chairs were made with a metal base, and in 1981 the more efficient wooden-based chairs made their debut. The Stressless Royal recliner was the first model to feature the wooden base. This newer, wooden model continues to be used in the recliners today. In 1991 Ekornes launched the Plus system. The Plus system allowed the headrest on the Ekornes Stressless recliner to move forward as the chair reclined. This allowed the occupant's eyes to remain focused on the object in which they were engaged.

Skip to comments.Iraq Hostages' Group Blames Bush, Blair
Posted on 11/30/2005 7:11:15 AM PST by LSUfan
United States and Britain for the abduction of four activists an American, a Briton and two Canadians shown in an insurgent video, saying the kidnapping was the direct result of the occupation of Iraq.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
For some strange reason, i couldn't care less now if they would lob off their heads! Either way it's bush's fault!! /Sarcasm off
The kidnapping was the direct result of these ninnies running into harm's way.
They will spouting this rubbish right up to the point that the Islamo-fascists start sawing their heads off. At that point, their new found realizations on who the enemy really is will be lost in the gurgling, blood curtling screams...too late to do them one bit of good.
I was just about to say the same thing... only using a different word than, "ninnies."
This is no kidnapping; it's staged.
That's right...cuz it's always Bush and Blair's fault when jihadi's kidnap and threaten to kill civilians...the people that do it aren't culpabable for anything..uh uh...no siree...they're not bad guys or toturers, nope. /extreme sarcasm
(though it's how rueters truly believes)
In that case, KUDOS to Blair and Bush!
My suspicion as well.
They wouldn't even have been able to go on a mission in Iraq if we hadn't taken out Saddam.
We created the opportunity for them... and they're complaining?
Why the hell wasn't Cindy called?
Thanks for the reality alert. Unless you are very careful, you can get caught up in the media alternative reality.
Convert to Islam
"Wait I'm on your side...Scream, Scream, Scream gurgle scream thud."
Alot of these kidnappings are about color.... that is, GREEN. Its for the money. There have been large payments made behind the scenes.
So if they got killed running onto the interstate highway system, it would be Eisenhower's fault?
I've noticed that the MSM is not mentioning their anti-war affiliation, as far as I've seen. Its always just "a British, Canadian and American" etc. They wouldn't want to shatter the illusion that this is just some kind of nativist insurgency against "occupiers".
I'm still waiting to see if this kidnapping is the real deal, or some stunt.
We all know what they thought before the kidnapping, now tell what they think now.
Perhaps Cindy can go over and speak to the reasonable Islamic gentlemen and convince them that what they are doing would be viewed badly by the peace movement.
"Fools rush in, where Angels fear to tread" and where trained and armed soldiers go with stealth and caution.
Let's pray that the adage: "God watches over fools and drunks" holds true for these fools.
I can't help but suspect that.
I guess they should be considered insurgents.
Your excerpt gives the impression that the kidnap victims made the statement. Bit misleading.
also see
Misplaced Moonbat Anger (Christian Peacemaker Teams blames the US for kidnappings)
Lets see.
Anglo Civilians going to Iraq and make themselves obvious hostage candidates.
Clearly these folks are Darwin award candidates and our respective governments should do nothing toward their release.
So much for personal responsibility.
Good analogy.
They may consider themselves that way...only problem is, apparently the terrorists do not.
It was from the first paragraph of the friggin' article for Pete's sake. First few words were lopped off.
That is the only reasonable conclusion, given that these same types of lefties have been working hand-in-hand with jihadis and share their objectives.
Why the hell did these boneheads go there in the first place?
I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt until more is known about this situation. OTOH, they never should have been in Iraq in the first place.
"An American,a Briton and two Canadians."
Looks like Canada has as many fools as the USA and the United Kingdom combined. This is very enlightening..
Stated on fox news that these peace activists have now exposed our troops to more danger. We have to take our intelligence off of our work in Iraq and now focus on them.
Our intelligence in Iraq now has to be diverted towards finding their dumb ass while at the same time endangering the lives of our troops that have to find them. Peace activist is an oxymoron in this case.
Can we get her to bring Ramsey Clark along with her ????
The whole debate over the liberation of Iraq has rendered the word "absurd" meaningless.
Ramsey C. is in bed with Saddam, Cindy merely has to rouse him when she arrives in baghdad.
And, in a related story......
Dog bites man.
According to a caller on RUSH yesterday, the group had an "Adopt a Detainee" program a while back.
If so, it tends to lend credibility to your theory.
Screw em
Let Murtha, Ramsey Clark, Kerry, and Jihad Cindy go rescue them.
Not one drop of American serviceman blood should be shed rescuing them.
Freepmail incoming
Let the jihadists do what they may and let these peaceniks find out that peace is the furthest thing in the terrorist's mind.
This is no kidnapping; it's staged.
Hope they don't go so far as to stage a beheading or two.
Why not? I truely believe that if they deem it neccessary, they'll do it. Hey, it'll thin out the gene pool...
Knuckleheads, the lot of them. I consider them traitors not peace activists. And I hope they truly know Jesus so they can go on to their great reward should their heads be separated from their unloyal necks.
"I was just about to say the same thing... only using a different word than, "ninnies.""
Very, very tempting, but you would get "Post removed by Moderator." for your efforts.
Hey, didn't something similar happen, oh, about a year or two ago? In this one, once the wackos found out it wasn't pretty nor where they favored by the insurgents, they came running back to the good ole USA?

In my opinion Tobi is Danzo, yes you guys will probably first think WTF.
However think about the naruto as a whole.
Danzo = Leader or "Root"(a high powered ANBU section)
Itachi = Akatsuki member(ex-ANBU commander)
Sasuke = only survivor of Uchiha massacre(3 members alive total)
Tobi = Akatasuki Leader(age ?)
Root = ANBU section that trains children from a young age(info from wikipedia).
From those above, It seems Itachi was trained under Root as he was an amazing child who finished chuunin exam at a very early age and enter ANBU at an early age. From Tobi's recent statements it seems he is trying to achieve Uchiha Madara's powers( "The Sharigan's True Power... My Power.. Uchiha Madara's Power...). Therefore, he means that there is some sort of secret behind the Uchihas other than mangekyo. Itachi killed everyone in the Uchiha except Sasuke for reason unknown, though he said to test his power. Now in the latest chapter Uchiha says meet me at Uchiha hideout. Why There? Although it makes a good setting for a final Uchiha fight, I doubt Itachi would ask Sasuke to fight there without a good reason. My hypothesis concluded from this that Danzo is or has Uchiha powers and commanded Itachi to kill all the other Uchiha to eliminate competition for Madara's Power. Why didnt he kill Itachi then? Well because Itachi achieved the Mangekyo Sharigan and Kakashi is proof that there is more than 1 evolved form of the sharigan. It is likely that when one reaches this new sharigan that is the final form; Madara's Sharigan seems to be far superior to Itachi's and Kakashi's. If so, Itachi was no longer a threat to Tobi and was more of a tool. Since if Itachi killed Uchiha instead of Tobi than no one would be suspicious of Tobi. Furthermore, isn't it kind of strange that Danzo commanded Sai to kill Sasuke? If he really wanted to kill Orochimaru, he would have sent in more ANBUs after his hideout, which would get him recognized better as the one who silenced Orochimaru. But since Sasuke has become a Missing-nin and is no longer protected by Konoha (since every1's eyes were on him as the last uchiha which means a large protection from Konoha). Therefore, he was more vulnerable to kill or considered to be until Pein comments about how Sasuke has become a threat now. But since, Pein isn't the true leader, tobi must have commanded Pein to make sasuke in to a threat. Also its strange that Danzo has the right portion of his eye covered up by a bandage, while Tobi has only his right eye shown, which would be an easy and ultimate disguise. Now Danzo is definetly powerful because he was rivaled with Sarutobi for 3rd Hokage, but he is very war hungry. Tobi seems also war angry because Pein said the plan for Akatsuki is for a war against all countries, but taking over a country with just 10 members is hard even with 10 S ranks, which has been reduced to 6(NOTE: although Sasori claimed he took over a country). We also know that Konoha is Biggest power house in the nations because of the ANBUs, Kyuubi, and Hokage. But 5th is no where strong as 4th and Kyuubi is suppressed in Naruto and if ANBU is under Danzo's control then Konoha would be very frail. However in order to wage war against countries Akatsuki has to have a country of its own. The hidden village of rain is about to be taken over by Tobi and Tobi is Danzo. Then taking Konoha over would be very simple for them and taking out the strogest country first is like finishing the war. Also, I really doubt they will bring out a random new character to be Tobi and I think Obito is not Tobi cuz the right half of his body which means no right eye. I also doubt 4th is Tobi cause his name was released and it doesnt contain Uchiha and he DIED after sealing 9 tails and Orochimaru's jutsu is proof that 4th is dead(the zombie hokage summoning jutsu). Also ROOTs motto is no emotions, but Danzo the leader would probably have mastered emotions, which results in Tobi's happy mode. Also I think collecting all the tailed beasts is a requirement for Madara's sharigan as in the chakra from them.
Please comment and also post flaws in my theories if there are any.

Clarence White: Tuff & Stringy/Sessions 1966-68, CD (£11.50)
Thirty years ago last month, on 13 February, 1973, the band later known as Muleskinner taped a live, in-studio concert for Public Broadcasting channel KCET in Hollywood. Clarence White, in the last year of his short life, had come full circle: from the folk clubs and honky tonks, to stardom with the forbiddingly cool Byrds, back to the bluegrass roots that spawned his career. A video of this performance shows him standing stage left, hugging his Roy Noble custom flattop under the bright kleig lights, driving the band with whistlestop right-hand rhythm. When he takes a break, the cameraman zooms in on his hands caressing the fretboard and strings with quiet authority and an elegantly fluid economy of motion that makes it look...almost...easy.
A quick session with your acoustic will convince you otherwise.
Clarence White had colossal influence on both acoustic and electric guitar playing - a singular feat for a guitarist. While drawing from a wide variety of sources (Doc Watson, Wes Montgomery, James Burton, Django Reinhardt, Joe Maphis, Don Rich, and others), Clarence's style was utterly unique. Whether on acoustic or electric, he had a fascinating way of defining a chord by playing an open bass string, often imitating a common banjo lick by sliding a lower note up to match the open string note. While that was ringing, he'd play a syncopated or contrapuntal lick in the higher registers. When the chord changed, he'd define it by playing another bass note.
I hope you listen to this CD with headphones so you can properly hear Clarence flatpick a duet with himself on the traditional Beaumont Rag (here titled Grandma Funderbunk's Music Box), or hear the burbling sitar in the left hand channel of Hong Kong Hillbilly (aka Nashville West - hell, it kicks the Dr Byrds" version's ass), or hear when Gary Paxton yells "YEEAH!" during Clarence's solo on Mother-In-Law. No, forget the solos-.-we already know they're mind boggling. You need to listen to his astonishing back-up work...it's almost better than the solos!
It's hard to overstate Clarence White's importance to non-musicians. As with any widely influential artist, a slew of myths and stories exist - some real, some embroidered like a Nathan Turk suit: that Bob Dylan slept on his couch (true)-.-that he played with a quarter or a heavy metal pick (false)-.-that he bitch-slapped Gram Parsons for getting out of line (true)-.-that he smoked a lot of Viceroys (true)-.-that he stubbed them out on the edge of the soundhole of his legendary pre-war D-28 (false!)-.-that he had bad luck with cars (breaking down repeatedly and even backing over his beloved Martin D-18 in a station wagon)-.-that he was a quiet, shy gentleman of few words, yet a practical joker of the first order (very true). He was a man who wanted pop stardom, but once he got it, went out of his way to hide his face behind his hair (well, judge for yourself).
Much more could be said about this man who himself said very little. However, as space is limited, I must point out how blessed we are to have good folks like Alec Palao and Ace Records, who on Tuff & Stringy have unearthed and released buried treasure from Clarence's so-called 'lost' period, between the Kentucky Colonels and the Byrds, 1966-68. I am incredibly honoured to have been involved in this project, even in a small way, and I promise you that it was a labour of love and genuine respect on everyone's behalf. Riff Raff, featuring the Clarence White Guitorchestra (acoustic, flatpicked resonator guitar, Tele rear toggle, Tele middle middle toggle, Tele through rotating Leslie speaker...there might be even more) is worth the price of admission alone.
I can also tell you in closing that in musical circles this man has attained rare 'first name only' status. One need only say, "check this out - it's Clarence", and most pickers' ears will perk up. Recently at a gig of mine, No Depression/Mojo writer Barry Mazor handed me a homemade compilation of Wynn Stewart sessions that White played on in 1968.
"Check it out - it's Clarence!"
It was all he had to say, you know?

The commission approved a public hearing to take place on Dec. 17 to hear comments on the proposed tippage fee at the Emery County landfill. There has been a policy in place, but it hasn't been adhered to in all cases. Mostly the tippage fee applies to contractors, or anyone with large amounts to dump. Some Carbon County contractors bring their garbage to Emery County because it has been cheaper. Some roll-off dumpsters pay the fees and some don't. It's not consistent and a fair fee needs to be established. Anything over a pick-up load will be subject to the fee and it will be a flat rate by the ton.
Commissioner James Nelson said the landfill was recently inspected and met all standards.
Mary Huntington was approved as the representative to Utah Counties Indemnity Pool Membership meeting and Leslie Bolinder was approved as the alternate.
Assessor Kris Bell went over some properties that need tax abatements including Cleveland City and Debbie Rich.
The license agreement between Emery County and Andalex Mine for the south debris basin in Huntington Canyon was approved. This license agreement will allow surveying to be conducted on the property. The next step will be an easement agreement. Two ambulance write-offs were considered and denied. Commissioner Nelson said it is a struggle to keep the ambulance service solvent and every effort must be made by those using the service to pay for it.
The federal aid agreement for the final phase of the South Moore road project was approved. This money has been in reserve since the project started 10 years ago and must be used now before it reverts back to the federal government.
The commission approved the Bureau of Land Management right of way applications for Phase II and III of the Huntington Creek Restoration Project. The project isn't on BLM land, but the project needs access off BLM land. BLM requires an Environmental Analysis be completed.
Public Lands director Ray Petersen is working on the San Rafael putting up kiosks south of I-70 for the Historical Preservation Committee.
The county will need to advertise for the sale of county owned parcel 04-0051-0001. An individual would like to buy this small parcel to square up land. A letter must be sent to all adjacent property owners to let them know of the sale. Bids will be taken on the parcel. A minimum bid will be established. Bids must be into the county clerk's office by 5 p.m. on Dec. 13 and will be opened in the Dec. 17 commission meeting. Attorney David Blackwell will check on who owns the mineral rights on the property.
The county will advertise for a board member on the Emery County Care and Rehab board to fill a vacant position. Green River applicants will be considered first.
The airport insurance was renewed for three years at a cost of $2,250 for $1 million in insurance.
Commissioner Nelson said he met with the Four Corners board and expanding Medicaid could have a huge impact there. It was also noted that drug court participants make good employees because they are drug tested regularly. Contract talks are ongoing between PacifiCorp and the Bureau of Reclamation for water from Joe's Valley for the power plant. Plans are still underway for the raising of the Millsite Reservoir dam in 2015. The project is $23.5 to $25 million in cost and will raise the dam and widen the spillway. The work will make the dam more structurally sound. Dredging will also take place at Millsite. Commissioner Nelson met with the library board and they are on top of things. He attended the wellness clinic at the Emery Medical Center.
Commissioner Ethan Migliori said he attended the coal symposium held at the county building. There were presentations on new technology in the coal field and most presenters were from the University of Utah where they work on new innovations in coal mining including seismic testing.
The care center meetings have been centered around keeping the facility profitable and productive. The trails committee is working on a number of trails and Emery County has countless trails for biking, hiking and horseback use. Currently the trail to connect Huntington Lake and Huntington Town are being worked out. The Museum of the San Rafael will be open Thanksgiving weekend and will hold a sale in their gift shop and residents are encouraged to bring visitors out to the museum. People are also encouraged to visit the pioneer museum as well. The Huntington ball complex renovation is moving forward. In a year, it will be a fantastic facility.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks said he attended the Association of Government meeting and they are rearranging their finances to make sure all aging programs stay intact. He attended a meeting with the Governor's Office of Economic Development. He is working to bring natural gas to rural communities. He and the building inspector met with Conductive Composites at the Green River airport. Conductive Composites will be expanding their business to Cleveland and the building inspector wanted to make sure there were no hazards involved for the citizens of Cleveland. The county is still working on the budget. Michael Kelsey donated a computer and scanner to the Emery County Archives. Gary Price was hired as a full-time weed and mosquito operator. A 3 percent wage increase was approved for Camille Thomas for successful completion of her six month orientation period.
In the local building authority meeting a cooperative agreement between the LBA and the Emery County Recreation Service District for the complex renovation project. They also approved the engineering agreement with Johansen and Tuttle.
The LBA board discussed the possibility of using LBA money to help purchase a trash compactor for the landfill. They have been keeping the old one maintained, but it is no longer feasible to do that. It's upwards of $650,000 for a new one and the landfill has $492,000 and may need some gap financing to make the purchase. If the compactor is ordered now it will be complete by May of 2014. If more mineral lease money comes in than is expected, this money can be used to go towards the compactor. The landfill will need to pay the money back to the LBA if these funds are used for the compactor. It was mentioned that LBA funds shouldn't be used to purchase equipment, but as long as these funds are repaid it shouldn't be a problem. The compactor is needed desperately at the land fill.
The weed and mosquito building is moving along well. The projects are complete at the Huntington airport and work has started on the new five year plan.

Incidents - 1 of 6
TIM is one of several current FDOT District Four Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) programs designed to assist the TMC and enhance incident management activities throughout the District. The TIM protocol brings together various agencies responsible for responding to incidents. They address issues that arise from the diverse institutional functions and individual goals of each agency. The multi-agency TIM partners meet bimonthly in Broward County, Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast (Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River Counties) to provide, discuss and improve operational services related to incident management.
Click on the links below to find out more about Traffic Incident Management:
Mission : Provide efficient, coordinated, and consistent traffic incident management across the state that will improve the safety and reliability of the transportation network.
Vision: Develop an institutionally integrated, fully cooperative association of all public agency and private industry traffic incident management stakeholders to improve the safety and reliability of the Florida Transportation system and maintain Florida's status as a national leader in TIM programs.
Defining communication protocols is one of the major issues faced by incident management teams; communication with each other on the scene, communication from the scene to the TMC, the media, and other interested parties, and communication to the public.
Incident clearance is the process of removing wreckage, debris, or any other element that disrupts the normal flow of traffic or forces lane closures, and restoring the roadway capacity to its pre-incident condition. At times, this may also include temporary or permanent repair to the infrastructure.
The uniform training of all incident responders is essential to meeting overall incident management goals. All responders to traffic incidents must be trained in open roads policies, traffic control, quick clearance techniques, and unified incident command.
Incident verification entails confirming that an incident has occurred, determining its exact location, and obtaining as many relevant details about the incident as possible in order to dispatch the proper initial response. Incident verification is generally complete with the arrival of the first responders on the scene.
Incident response includes dispatching the appropriate personnel and equipment, and activating the appropriate communication links and motorist information media as soon as there is reasonable certainty that an incident has occurred.
Traffic incident management (TIM) is one of several successful proactive programs designed to assist our regional Transportation Management Center (TMC) with incident management and surface transportation–related activities throughout South Florida . District Four serves I-595 (monitored and maintained by I-595 Express, LLC) in Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, Saint Lucie, and Indian River counties.
Mission : Develop recommendations that will provide a safe, efficient, and appropriate multiagency RESPONSE to traffic incidents through timely and accurate DETECTION AND VERIFICATION.
According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), traffic incident management is the planned and coordinated program process to detect, respond to, and remove traffic incidents, restoring traffic capacity as safely and quickly as possible. This coordinated process involves a number of public and private sector partners, including the following agencies and services:
The purpose of the RISC Program is to expedite the safe clearance of major incidents from the highways using heavy duty, specialized equipment. This program is put in place in conjunction with Florida's "Open Roads Policy," which states that the roadways will be cleared as soon as possible with the goal of all agencies that incidents be cleared within 90 minutes of the arrival of the first responding officer.
The RISC program offers financial incentives to qualified companies to respond to and clear major incidents such as large vehicle crashes, rollovers, fires and cargo spills within a specified period of time.
RISC Activation Procedure:
The State of Florida will recover costs associated with the RISC Program from the responsible parties' insurance companies and intend the program to be financially self-sustaining by the end of the three-year contract period.
The District Four RISC contract was released in October 2008. It's an "open contract," which means towing companies can submit proposals at any time during the three-year contract period. Certification for the RISC Program requires the review of the towing contractors' facilities, their commercial licenses, insurance, and other criteria. This inspection is designed to certify only those towing contractors capable of providing heavy duty recovery on interstate highways.
For additional information contact Nicole Forest at the SMART SunGuide TMC.
In 2003, the Federal Highway Administration began a national study to determine the "state of the art" of Traffic Incident Management. The Traffic Incident Management Self Assessment is a tool to be used by state and regional program managers to assess their achievement of a successful multi-agency program to manage traffic incidents effectively and safely.
The results of the Self Assessment are also used to identify national TIM program initiatives by the FHWA. Compare our TIM Team scores against the national average.

On the 10th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, NPR is catching up with some of the people we encountered during the war. In 2006, at the height of the violence, we brought you the story of a woman who performed the Muslim ritual of washing and preparing the dead for burial. Kelly McEvers has this update on Um Abbas, who is now living in southern Iraq.
What's interesting about this story, and about many of the stories we did from Iraq during the most violent years, is how we got the story.
Back in 2006, hundreds of people were dying every day. Anti-American sentiment was high. Many times, Western journalists didn't go out unless they were embedded with the U.S. military. To talk to Iraqis, journalists often had to rely on Iraqi colleagues.
For the story seven years ago, Isra' did all the legwork. She remembers first meeting the body washer, Um Abbas:
"She was reading the newspaper, and I asked her what are you reading. And she said, 'Oh about the benefits to the health of apples.' She seemed a very life-loving person — she still wanted a better life although she lived in the midst of death," Isra' says.
Isra told Um Abbas we wanted to interview her and record her while she washed a body. Um Abbas said fine, but Isra' should keep a low profile so she wouldn't disturb the relatives of the dead. They agreed Isra' would pose as a woman who couldn't have children.
"It's a belief in the Iraqi community — and I think in the Arab community as well — that for a woman who cannot have babies, if she undergoes this terrifying experience of witnessing or seeing a dead body being washed, then this would have a certain effect on her, psychologically, and hopefully — and it worked many times — she would be able to have babies," Isra' says.
The night before she was to record the washing, Isra' says couldn't sleep. She had never seen a dead body, up close. But the next day, it all went well.
"They say that you are the enemy of the unknown," she says. "And once it becomes known to you, it will no longer be your enemy."
A Less Violent Iraq
These days, Iraq is different. There are still bombings. And some people still hate Americans.
But now, Isra' and I can go together to meet Iraqis. On a clear, cool day last month we drove about two hours south of Baghdad to find Um Abbas.
She's still does the same work, though now she's at a washing house in a dusty field outside the holy city of Kerbala. We notice she's wearing a nice new robe, or abaya. It's much nicer than something she would traditionally wear, and we realize it's the abaya of a dead woman.
"Sometimes if the clothes are old or worn out, we burn them," Um Abbas says. "Sometimes, if (they're) still new, we use them."
Um Abbas says she has seen a lot in the decades that she's done this job. But it's was never as bad as it was in 2006 and 2007.
"I saw women with decapitated heads — university professors. There were some who worked at the embassies," she says.
One was the wife of a high-ranking official who survived an assassination attempt but his wife did not.
"She was sitting in the car next to him. They shot a bullet, she got hit in the head. And you know, part of her skull was missing," she says.
Moving To Southern Iraq
In 2008, Um Abbas decided to leave Baghdad and move to southern Iraq, where there's less violence. Now she washes people who die of natural causes. We ask if she's still haunted by the war years in Baghdad.
"Of course I feel the pain inside because I know these people are innocent people," she says. "They didn't deserve to die in such a brutal way. But to affect me or to be traumatized in a paralyzing way? No."
This is the thing about Um Abbas. Despite all the misery of the bad time, she somehow manages to smile and laugh. She looks a lot younger than her 60 years.
She says her job has helped her cope with life in Iraq better than most people.
"I never grieve, I never care really too much about things," she says. "My husband got another wife. I didn't care. I said, 'Okay, everything comes in its time.' I really feel optimistic about things."
Like our colleague Isra', Um Abbas is philosophical about seeing death up close. While most people are scared of death, perhaps being face to face with it, every day, makes it less frightening.
"Why do human beings complicate things," Um Abbas says, "when we know this is how it ends?"
"Life goes by in a moment," she says. "Why not live it as it is?"

Gallery acquires medieval triptych
The National Gallery of Australia has acquired a major 16th century altarpiece Triptych of the Virgin and Child with Saints.
Painted by artists of the renowned Cologne School of painting, the work dates from 1510-20 – the end of the great era of painters at Cologne.
Details of the gallery's latest acquisition, which was purchased with funds from private benefactors, were announced today by the Director of the National Gallery, Dr Brian Kennedy.
Cologne School c.1510-20 Triptych of the Virgin and Child with Saints oil on panel: 126.5 x 350.5 x 6.0 cm National Gallery of Australia purchased with the assistance of James O. Fairfax AO and the Nerissa Johnson bequest 2001
click to view more detail
"This is a most impressive and beautiful picture," he said. "The charm and elegance of the female Saints, the attractive floral setting, the distant view of town and country and the mixture of cool and vibrant colours will assure wide popular appeal."
The altarpiece depicts the Virgin and Child enthroned within an enclosed garden, flanked by musical angels and six female martyr saints.
Only 400 or so paintings from the Cologne school have survived – about three percent of its original production.
"Cologne School paintings are renowned for their magnificent rich colours, extravagant decoration, and brilliant narrative skills," Dr Kennedy said.
"The Triptych is a splendid example of the late flowering of the German Gothic altarpiece at the height of the Italian Renaissance. The painting celebrates the important role of the Saints, not just as protectors and patrons, but also as mediators interceding with God on behalf of the devoted believer," he said.
Dr Kennedy acknowledged the generous financial support of James O. Fairfax AO in helping to acquire the Triptych.
"We offer, as so often before, our deepest appreciation to James Fairfax for his kindness," Dr. Kennedy said.
The Gallery has purchased the painting through the munificence of the Nerissa Johnson Bequest, from its funds specified for European paintings, as well as with Mr Fairfax's assistance.
Triptych of the Virgin and Child with Saints goes on public display at the National Gallery of Australia on 24 March 2001.
