Lizzie Dearden, Reporter
Saturday, June 16, 2012
An Ilford charity worker has been awarded an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List for her years of work preserving local heritage.
Judith Garfield, 45, is the director of Eastside Community Heritage, based in Ilford Methodist Church, Ilford Lane.
She said: "It's quite an important resource and it's an honour to see my work and the work the charity does recognised like this.
"It was a bit of a shock but it's a great honour."
The charity was founded in 1993 to document the life and culture of East London.
It has 1,700 oral histories and more than 24,000 pictures as well as videos and other archives.
Judith, who lives in East Ham, has worked at the charity for 14 years.
She said: "People share their lives and experiences with us, they let us into their homes. It's very important to record and preserve local history."
Claire Days, a project officer, has worked with Judith for four years.
She said: "I think it's really nice that she's been recognised for the work she's been doing over the years.
"Her passion has really kept us going. It would be good if the MBE brought us more projects but if not it's still a great honour for Judith."
Current projects include the People's Museum and Gallery of Newham, which will open in July.
The 'Rediscovering Redbridge' project recorded residents' memories of living and working in the borough over the last 70 years.

Bruno Kirby is dead
He looks like Karl Pilkington with more hair.
I had no idea he was dead.
I always found Beavis and Butthead painfully depressing.
It had funny moments, but it really captured that horrible drowning sensation that accompanies those soon to be dropped out high school losers.
I remember listening to that Jim Carrol song while my older brother taught me to drive a stickshift in his old red Nissan truck.
He fucking hated it and went all crazy about listening to songs about dead people.

The first public hearing of the school district budget was held last night, but since it was after the Post's Tuesday noon deadline, budget figures are not available. Board President Frank Ranieri told the Post, however, that the board had managed to hold the line and there would be no school tax increase in either the Town of Oyster Bay or Babylon portions of the school district. The school district voters will be offered a balanced budget for the second year in a row at the June election. Raymond E.

Along with his re- election announcement, Mr. Parcels issued the following statement: " These past three years have probably been the most difficult period that our school district has ever gone through, and for the Board of Education it has been a time of some very important decisions the effect of which will undoubtedly have an impact on the district for many years to come.

Each dollar actually spent in a Farmingdale participating store was worth one vote in the contest.

History records do not show who renamed the area or when Hardscrabble became Farmingdale.

Dom Shipperley will make his Wallaby debut against South Africa on Saturday while Kurtley Beale has been recalled at full-back.
Reeling from two defeats in as many weekends to New Zealand, under-fire Australian coach Robbie Deans announced a starting XV on Tuesday that features three changes in personal and one positional switch for a game that will see Stephen Moore become the most capped hooker in Australian Test history.
21-year-old Shipperley boasts exceptional pace and Deans, who is under pressure to turn around their fortunes or face the sack, will hope he can inject some urgency into a team humiliated 22-0 by the All Blacks at Eden Park.
With the versatile Adam Ashley-Cooper reverting to centre for the 30th time in his now 69-Test career, Beale is back in the starting XV after being benched for the last match.
The mercurial Quade Cooper has also been included in the side, with the flyhalf recovering from a small leg-bone fracture.
As expected, winger Drew Mitchell has been ruled out with a ruptured ankle tendon. Among others missing injured are David Pocock, James Horwill, James O'Connor, Sekope Kepu, Wycliff Palu, Pat McCabe and Ben McCalman.
Elsewhere, number eight Radike Samo returns to the Test starting pack for the first time this year, with Scott Higginbotham relocating to the bench.
Moore is set to become the most capped hooker in Australian Test history when he takes the field in Perth, moving past Jeremy Paul's tally of 72 appearances.
The 29-year-old made his debut against Samoa at Sydney in 2005.
Australia: 15 Kurtley Beale, 14 Dominic Shipperley, 13 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 12 Berrick Barnes, 11 Digby Ioane, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Will Genia (c), 8 Radike Samo, 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Dave Dennis, 5 Nathan Sharpe, 4 Sitaleki Timani, 3 Ben Alexander, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Benn Robinson.
Replacements: 16 Tatafu Polota Nau, 17 James Slipper, 18 Scott Higginbotham, 19 Liam Gill, 20 Nick Phipps, 21 Mike Harris, 22 Anthony Fainga'a.
Date: Saturday, September 8
Venue: Patersons Stadium, Perth
Kick-off: 18.35 (10.35 GMT)
Referee: Nigel Owens (Wales)

Dynamic duo: Pullum, Joseph carry Lobos past Allen
BY Chris O'Dell, email@example.com
LITTLE ELM -- Senior guard Biron Joseph wasn't expected to make his season debut with Little Elm until Friday.
That changed after head coach Rusty Segler was informed midway through the first quarter of Tuesday's game against Allen that Joseph was eligible to play following a 15-day waiting period since his return from Quest Academy in Las Vegas.
"We just had a total mix-up with when he would be back," Segler said.
"They made shots down the stretch and we ended up with four guys fouling out," said Jeff McCullough, Allen head coach. "We don't have a lot of depth as it is."
The Little Elm win came after a quick Allen start that saw the Eagles take a 21-11 lead late in the first behind the play of junior forward Jamuni McNease. McNease poured in nine of his 14 points in the quarter to match Lobos senior guard Devante' Pullum point-for-point.
"I told my guys that [Allen] came out and played harder than we did," Segler said. "I think they took it as a challenge and stepped up their intensity after that."
A 7-1 Little Elm run to end the frame made it a 22-18 contest entering the second.
The Lobos later pulled within two points on the opening possession of the quarter before Allen went on a 17-6 run to close the half for a 39-26 advantage at the break.
"[Pullum] said to me at halftime 'we're not going to lose this game,'" Segler said.
The two teams went back and forth in the third with the Lobos making it a 39-33 contest after a Pullum layup with 5:04 remaining. The Eagles were able to maintain their lead though and pushed it back up to 11 points before a bucket from Little Elm senior forward Shaun Grant with 21 seconds left made it 48-39 heading into the final stanza.
Pullum and Joseph took over in the final eight minutes, scoring a combined 20 points in the quarter to fuel a Lobos' comeback.
The quarter began with a quick corner three from Joseph. Pullum followed Joseph's triple with a 3-pointer of his own to make it 48-44 with 6:56 remaining. The Lobos trimmed the deficit to one score following a putback dunk from Grant on the ensuing possession. The senior was one of three Lobos in double figures, chipping in 10 points.
Pullum posted a game-high 24 points while Joseph scored all 18 of his points over the final three quarters.
Allen was led by sophomore guard Olin Carter, who scored 16 and was one of four Eagles in double figures. McNease added 14 before fouling out in the fourth quarter.
Little Elm's comeback was complete at the 4:58 mark when Joseph scored on a breakaway dunk to make it 51-51, but Allen recaptured the lead after a pair of free throws made it 58-56 with 2:30 left.
That advantage would be the final one of the night for the Eagles.
"It's tough to execute down the stretch when you don't have all of your guys out there," McCullough said.
Late turnovers kept Allen from posing a real threat down the stretch while free throws from Pullum and Grant eventually iced the victory for Little Elm.
"[Pullum] just willed us to a win," Segler said. "He had ice in his veins on those free throws."
With Pullum going 6-for-6 at the line in the fourth, the Lobos shot 10-of-18 from the charity stripe as a team. Pullum's final free throws gave Little Elm a 66-58 advantage with 16 seconds left before Carter added a last-second three for the 66-61 final.
"It goes back to not having your guys out there," McCullough said. "We've got some help coming soon though."
The Lobos, who outscored the Eagles by a 40-22 clip in the second half, improved to 9-4 with the victory and next hit the road at 1:30 p.m. Friday to face Rowlett.
"That's going to be a fun one," Segler said.
Allen will attempt to rebound the same day when hosting Lake Highlands at 7:30 p.m.

by Holly Powell Kennedy, ACNM President (pictured left), and Melissa Avery, ACNM Past President (pictured right)
The International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) holds a Council meeting of member associations every triennium prior to the ICM Congress. This year ACNM is represented by President Holly Powell Kennedy and Past President Melissa Avery in Durban, South Africa.
The ICM has provided visionary leadership to standardize the midwifery profession globally. Several ICM task forces have carefully crafted five inter-related documents to support the pillars of the profession: 1) Education, 2) Regulation, and 3) Association.
· Essential Competencies for Basic Midwifery Practice
· Global Standards for Midwifery Education
· International Definition of the Midwife (revised)
· Global Standards for Midwifery Regulation
· Member Association Capacity Assessment Tool
A strong majority of the Council members approved all of the documents. We will provide more information on this process and outcomes after the ICM Congress.

United Way says the FamilyWize card is easy to use and free for immediate and unlimited use. Anyone can use the FamilyWize card, and it's accepted at 95percent of pharmacies nationwide. No enrollment or personal information is needed
Free FamilyWize prescription drug discount cards decrease the cost of medicine by an average of 35 percent or more — $17 per prescription. This program helps millions without health insurance — or who have to buy medicines not covered by insurance, Medicare or other programs — better afford their medicine and basic needs.
The uninsured and underinsured are often in poorer health. Taking medication as prescribed, with recommended frequency and dosage, prevents the spread of illness, keeps ongoing conditions under control, decreases absenteeism at work and school, reduces the cost of hospital and medical care needed by addressing health problems at earlier stages, and improves health in the entire community. United Way helps achieve this by distributing as many free FamilyWize cards as possible to lower the cost of medicine so more people can afford to buy the medicine they need.
You always get the lowest price available. Your cost will be the discount price with the FamilyWize card or the pharmacy's usual and customary retail price, whichever is lower. You are responsible for the entire payment of the prescription medicine purchased after any discounts are applied. The FamilyWize card cannot lower the co-pay for medicine covered by insurance.
Where to get a prescription card
United Way in Walker, Catoosa and Dade counties is making the free FamilyWize prescription drug discount card available to local organizations and area residents.
These savings cards are being distributed for people with no or limited prescription drug coverage. There is no cost to you or your family for this discount card and there are no enrollment or eligibility requirements.
To get a reusable hard copy card, follow links on the United Way website and fill out the requested information to receive a card through the mail.
You can also print a card off on your printer at home when you go to the United Way website at LiveUnitedWCD.org/familywize.
You can also text to get a drug card by texting the word "Family" to 700700. An electronic free prescription card will be sent to your smart phone for you to show to your pharmacist.
Familywize cards are accepted at area pharmacies, including Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS, Walmart, Target, Kmart, Kroger, Publix markets, Costco Wholesale Corp. and Sam's Clubs.
To see a full list of participating pharmacies, go to LiveUnitedWCD.org/familywize.
You can take these reusable prescription cards to over 60,000 participating pharmacies for discounts on all FDA approved medicines. Call 423-752-0356 for more information.

North Korea held a huge rally Friday in the center of its capital, Pyongyang, to celebrate the launch of a long-range rocket this week that put a satellite in orbit and provoked international condemnation.
A special broadcast on state-run television showed crowds of soldiers and civilians standing in neat ranks, clapping and cheering as officials made congratulatory speeches praising the regime's ruling dynasty.
The rocket launch Wednesday took place sooner than many observers expected and was criticized by many countries since it was widely seen as a cover for testing ballistic missile technology that North Korea has been forbidden from using by the United Nations.
But state media reported Friday that the satellite is weather-related and will "gain information on temperatures of sea and land surfaces and atmosphere, humidity and wind and other meteorological data."
Putting the satellite in orbit was a technological breakthrough for the secretive North Korean regime, and a public relations victory for its young leader, Kim Jong Un. North Korea claims the launch was carried out for peaceful purposes.
The successful launch was the result of Kim's "unique will, courage and boldness," Jang Chol, head of the State Academy of Sciences, said at the rally Friday, his words echoing out over the assembled masses, many of whom were wearing thick coats as they stood in a snow-dusted square.
Kim's late father, Kim Jong Il, was also singled out as having made the launch possible through his military-first policy that channeled billions of dollars into the development of missiles and nuclear weapons.
More crowds are expected to gather in Pyongyang on Monday, the first anniversary of Kim Jong Il's death.
North Korea's achievement of putting an object in orbit, after years of failed attempts, stoked fresh concerns among world leaders about the reclusive state's missile and nuclear programs.
Experts do not believe North Korea has a nuclear warhead small enough to fly on the kind of missile that Pyongyang has now proved it can send long distance.

Park Ridge pinball wizard pursues passion full-tilt
NAME: Jason Werdrick.
BEST KNOWN AS: Flipper Pinball Association's World Pinball Championship, 9th place.
HOMETOWN: Park Ridge
Article Extras
Updated: July 29, 2012 6:02AM
Jason Werdrick sure plays a mean pinball.
Like the principal character of The Who's iconic rock opera, "Tommy," Werdrick is something of a pinball wizard. From Schaumburg down to Chicago he's played them all — leading to national and world acclaim.
Werdrick, whose Park Ridge basement is lined with pinball machines from vintage to modern, recently competed in the International Flipper Pinball Association's World Pinball Championship in Seattle, where he finished 9th place out of 64 players.
It's all part of being a competitive pinball player. Werdrick, who ranks among the Top 25 of the world's pinball professionals, competes in about a dozen tournaments each year, both locally and across the country. It's largely a hobby for the 38-year-old Chicago native who, as a teenager first played the silver ball at a neighborhood 7-Eleven.
"I would go there and play video games. Then they got a pinball machine," he recounted. "This game called High Speed is what really drew me into pinball."
Werdrick would watch with interest as other players racked up high scores on the game. He then taught himself how to play, which in turn led to friendships with pinball-game designers and programmers, as well as opportunities to test out new games before they hit the market.
Werdrick has been playing professionally since 1991 when he took part in his first tournament while still in high school. Along the way he's racked up points in local, regional and national tournaments by playing pinball machines that range from 1950s models to the modern-day variety.
One of Werdrick's favorite hangout spots as a young adult was an arcade in Lincolnwood called Diversions, which had three pinball machines and a pinball league. Today he recommends Gameworks, 601 N, Martingale Road, in Schaumburg, as a good place for aspiring pinball champs to play and take part in monthly tournaments.
"It's a great experience," he says of the tournament circuit. "It's not only meeting new people at some of the out-of-state tournaments, it's about having fun. I'd never been to Seattle until now and I met a bunch of people from the Seattle pinball scene."
One championship back in the 1990s even won Werdrick tickets to the stage adaptation of "Tommy." He's a fan of the rock opera about a deaf and blind pinball player, but acknowledges he never listens to the soundtrack while playing his machines.
"They did play 'Pinball Wizard' at my wedding, though," he said of the soundtrack's signature song.
For Werdrick, pinball playing is a sport, with some luck thrown in.
"I would say it's 75- to 80-percent skill and 20- to 25-percent luck," he said. "The skill is the ball control, knowing how to be accurate on your shots, catching the ball, stopping the ball, passing the ball from one flipper to the other, knowing when to nudge or shake the machine."
Mastering the game takes years of practice and good hand-eye coordination, Werdrick added.
He also has plenty of opportunities to practice — his home contains 10 pinball machines.
"That's about the most I can fit in my basement," he acknowledged. "When I got this house here I had in mind to have a game room/Transformers room. I've got a pretty big Transformer collection with probably over 1,000 Transformers in display cases."
Werdrick's current ambition is to improve his worldwide ranking and make it into the Top 10.
"My ultimate goal is to win a world championship," he added.

Character, leadership, and service. These are the core values that define a Daniels Scholar.
The Daniels Scholarship Program distinguishes itself from other scholarship programs focusing purely on academic achievement or financial need by selecting young leaders of exceptional character with the desire to give back to their communities.
Bill Daniels defined the specific criteria and unique perspective used to select Daniels Scholars. In addition to overall character, we look for natural leaders with the motivation to succeed and the potential to be engaged in the community. From the thousands that apply, roughly 250 young people from Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming are awarded scholarships each year.

Congratulations Matthew Willis!
Matthew Willis Named Nation's Top Assistant Principal
Assistant Principal Matthew Willis supports and cares for his students more than they will ever know. The Colorado Association of Secondary School Principals, in conjunction with the Colorado Association of School Executives, recently recognized his dedication and commitment to student success by naming him the 2013 Colorado Assistant Principal of the Year.
"It's been an awesome experience to be a leader at Hinkley," said Willis. "I feel honored to be able to make a difference in our community."
Willis has been a vital person in the Aurora community for quite some time. Having been in education for the past nine years, Willis said it's the students who keep him motivated and passionate about his work. Aside from greeting students at the front door three to four days per week, he makes a point to visit with teachers as often as possible to improve instruction, something he believes is necessary to continue to increase student achievement. He says they discuss "how to work collectively to bring this all together to create hope and opportunity for students."
Willis will be honored by CAASP and CASE later this month in an official ceremony.
Congratulations, Matthew, on your outstanding work!

Honesty Quiz - September 2010 - People
No research is allowed after seeing the questions. They must be answered solely with the information currently in your head.
No internet, books or consulting other people...or 'accidentally' seeing information.
One point per correct answer with no penalty for incorrect or unanswered questions. If you don't know an answer, it's worth guessing. I will accept ONLY your first answer list (send to me via PM). Spelling accuracy is not required for person names. You may freely use pen, paper and simple (non-programmable) calculators.
No entry = no points.
Answers provided when entries close. Quizzes usually last for about 3 weeks until entries dry up. I shall warn players a few days before I provide answers. Please get your entry in before I publish the answers.
This month, the answers will be names of people.
Q1. Chris Martin, lead singer of Coldplay, is married to which actress?
Q2. When Armstrong and Aldrin walked on the moon in 1969, who remained in orbit in the command ship?
Q3. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" is a quote from which science fiction writer?
Q4. Name 4 of the 5 Marx Brothers (from films like Duck Soup, A Day at the Races etc)? Their nicknames/common names not their real names. The 5 include one brother who did not appear in any films.
Q5. Who wrote the novel "Neuromancer"?
Q6. What is the real name of singer Bob Dylan?
Q7. What is the name of the character played by Kiefer Sutherland in the TV series "24"?
Q8. Who is the CEO of BP, recently castigated over the Deepwater Horizon oil spill?

My problem is that I have the opposite of an eidetic memory. I can remember processes, connections, the way things fit together, but never details that are irrelevant to the functioning. My wife and I, when we have any long drive together, will often tell each other in detail the latest books we've read. She tells me hers, along with names and place names and all the details. When I tell mine, I have to refer to the characters as "the old guy" or "the main character's mother" and the like. Often even for the main characters. I can picture them clearly, but their names are gone.
Edit: Ooooh! Looking up the correct answers, I find that I was right on one of the ones that was something of a guess
(the last Marx brother)
. That means I scored a 3, unless one of my total guesses got stupidly lucky.
Edit 2: Oh Snap! One more lucky guess, though it wasn't a blind guess. That's my last one that wasn't.

I'm with Zag on this one. A few weeks ago Mrs. Q and I were watching a clip from
State Fair
or something and we were trying to think of the name of the actress. All Mrs. Q could say was "You know, Liza Minnelli's mother," and the best I could do was Francis Gumm. I'm not even sure how I know that.
Anyway, it doesn't come into play this month, because I knew about 3, and I don't think I had any lucky guesses.

The Natural Dye Studio
The Natural Dye Studio is a family company, located in sunny Suffolk, UK. Their ethos as a company is to provide the best quality luxury yarn as possible in an as environmentally friendly and as ethically way as possible. The Natural Dye Studio exclusively uses historical plant dyes which produce an astounding spectrum of beautiful subtle colour.
"All our dyes and mordants are sourced through a UK supplier. We only use plant materials, such as wood chips, chopped roots and leaves. We do not use natural dye extracts, as the raw materials are processed to turn them into extracts and as far as I am concerned is a totally un-necessary process. We only use cream of tartar and alum as mordants. Alum (a rock salt) is slightly abrasive in its crystal form however totally harmless when dissolved in water. Cream of tartar is used in cake baking. We do NOT use any of the metal mordants such as tin, copper, chrome and iron, some of which are very toxic and all of which should not be poured into the water system. I believe it is better to lose a few colours from my range, than use ingredients that are harmful. All our spent dye material is composted and then used on our organic dye garden, the plants of which are then eaten by the organic wild rabbits..."

Vehicle Information
The 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser is an off-road icon, and over decades it's grown into more of a well-rounded--and still very rugged and off-road capable--large luxury SUV. Compared to other large luxury sport-utility vehicles, the Land Cruiser is less showy and glamorous, yet it strikes a great balance between family utility, highway comfort and off-road ability. For a family that needs towing ability on the weekends, in a luxurious vehicle, it's a good choice, with excellent safety (including ten airbags), has three rows of seating.2013 Toyota Land Cruiser Trims

2013 Land Cruiser Changes
The Toyota Land Cruiser gets updated exterior styling for 2013, with a new grille and HID headlamps; new taillamps with LED running lamps; and redesigned outer side mirrors. Fenders have also been enlarged for a more rugged look. Otherwise, the premium navigation system that's included in all Land Cruisers now also includes Toyota's Entune multi-media and connectivity interface, with mobile-apps capability. A host of features that were formerly options--including rear-seat DVD entertainment, rain-sensing wipers, a color-keyed rear spoiler, a center-console cooler box, a Bluetooth hands-free interface, headlamp washers, heated second-row seats, and added leather trim--are now standard.
Pearl White has been added to the Land Cruiser's palette of exterior hues.

NEW YORK -- The 2012 presidential election is over, Ohio has certified its vote, even Rep. Allen West has conceded. So where's a political junkie to turn his or her attention throughout the long, cold winter?
Perhaps New Jersey, a state known for its crooked politicians that was thrust into the spotlight after Superstorm Sandy, when Gov. Chris Christie showed up just about everywhere, prompting questions about his national political aspirations.
Christie is running for reelection in 2013, riding the highest popularity ratings a New Jersey governor has ever had. But the race may not be a blowout. Newark Mayor Cory Booker, known for rescuing neighbors from a burning fire, spending a week on food stamps and delivering Hot Pockets to his city during the superstorm, might just make the race a little more interesting.
In an appearance on CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday, Booker was asked by Bob Schieffer whether he intended to run against Christie next year.
PHOTOS: The best shots from the 2012 campaign
"I am absolutely considering running for governor, as well as giving other options some consideration," Booker said. He said he would decide whether to run in the next two weeks to give the Democratic Party time to throw its support behind the best candidate.
Questions about Booker's aspirations for higher office seem to follow him wherever he goes, including after a fiery speech at the Democratic National Convention. He often speaks of his ability to bring more development and housing to economically depressed Newark, and laces his speech with inspirational (some would say cheesy) maxims, such as speaking of "heroes of light and energy" in his city and of being "a prisoner of hope."
In Newark, he is a little more controversial. Last week, in a City Council meeting to replace an outgoing elected official, police had to resort to pepper spray to restrain angry citizens after Booker, in a procedural move, tried to fill the position with his own candidate.
Some City Council members have spoken out against Booker, although the city is known for its divisive political battles.
Even if he doesn't decide to run against Christie, who seems nearly invincible with his 72% approval rating, Booker could still play big on the national stage. He has said he is considering running for Senate in 2014, when Frank R. Lautenberg, the Democratic senator from New Jersey, will be 90 years old.
Schieffer also asked Booker about his senatorial aspirations.
"Yeah, I am actually looking at that a lot as well," Booker said. "I'm really thinking about both offices right now, and which one can I better serve on the issues I'm passionate about and the things that I feel driven to contribute."

Egypt to deal with new power, economic troubles
Given the turmoil swirling through the Middle East, Israel could probably do without trying to bomb Iran's nuclear program into submission. Besides Syria and Lebanon, it is already grappling with a very different Egypt, where a once-jailed Islamist leader is now president and Salafist/jihadi groups, especially in undergoverned areas like Sinai, have a lease on life unimaginable in the Mubarak era.
The U.S. has an awkward relationship with President Mohamed Morsy, needing his help in mediating with Hamas in Gaza but concerned that his accumulation of power is fast weakening democracy and by his bouts of anti-Western rhetoric. (He has demanded the release from a U.S. jail of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, convicted of involvement in the first bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993.)
The approval of the constitution removes one uncertainty, even if the opposition National Salvation Front says it cements Islamist power. But as much as the result, the turnout -- about one-third of eligible voters -- indicates that Egyptians are tired of turmoil, and more concerned about a deepening economic crisis.
Morsy imposed and then scrapped new taxes, and the long-expected $4.8 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund is still not agreed on. Egypt's foreign reserves were down to $15 billion by the end of the year, enough to cover less than three months of imports. Tourism revenues are one-third of what they were before street protests erupted early in 2011. Egypt's crisis in 2013 may be more about its economy than its politics.
Libya threatens to spawn more unrest in North Africa
Libya's revolution, if not as seismic as anything Syria may produce, is still reverberating far and wide. As Moammar Gadhafi's rule crumbled, his regime's weapons found their way into an arms bazaar, turning up in Mali and Sinai, even being intercepted off the Lebanese coast.
The Libyan government, such as it is, seems no closer to stamping its authority on the country, with Islamist brigades holding sway in the east, tribal unrest in the Sahara and militias engaged in turf wars. The danger is that Libya, a vast country where civic institutions were stifled for four decades, will become the incubator for a new generation of jihadists, able to spread their influence throughout the Sahel. They will have plenty of room and very little in the way of opposition from security forces.
The emergence of the Islamist group Ansar Dine in Mali is just one example. In this traditionally moderate Muslim country, Ansar's fighters and Tuareg rebels have ejected government forces from an area of northern Mali the size of Spain and begun implementing Sharia law, amputations and floggings included. Foreign fighters have begun arriving to join the latest front in global jihad; and terrorism analysts are seeing signs that al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and groups like Boko Haram in Nigeria are beginning to work together.
There are plans for an international force to help Mali's depleted military take back the north, but one European envoy said it was unlikely to materialize before (wait for it) ... September 2013. Some terrorism analysts see North Africa as becoming the next destination of choice for international jihad, as brigades and camps sprout across a vast area of desert.
