This week, international civil society leaders from the Standing with Civil Society International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) return home following two weeks of citizen diplomacy meetings and discussions in Washington, D.C., Kansas City, Minneapolis, New Orleans, Philadelphia, and New York City. During their time in the United States, these civil society leaders shared innovative approaches to advancing citizens' rights and responsibilities with American citizens and each other.
One phrase of President Obama's remarks at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York summarized the message they will take home: "The most important title is not president or prime minister; the most important title is citizen."
Throughout the exchange, the participants explored what it means to carry this title. They examined the concept of community philanthropy at the Greater New Orleans Foundation, where average citizens mobilize their own ideas and local resources to come together to build their own city. They took part in donated food distribution efforts at Feed My Starving Children, recycling at Bridging the Gap, volunteer construction at Youth Rebuilding New Orleans, and community park maintenance with Peace Day Philly. Felesia Muyia from Kenya noted how the "remarkable spirit of volunteerism is taught from a young age. One child was spending her birthday volunteering at Feed My Starving Children. That is how she wanted to spend her birthday."
Discussions throughout the exchange emphasized the critical role of civic participation in improving government responsiveness, effectiveness and accountability. Haris Azhar from Indonesia remarked, "You can have a high-level discussion, but at some point you need to show your solidarity with concrete action." Such concrete actions were recognized at the Open Government Partnership's Open Government Awards, where successful initiatives geared toward increasing citizen engagement in policy-making were celebrated. And through a meeting with the Community of Democracies Governing Council, participants shared their own ideas for concrete actions the Community can take to support, defend, and sustain the work of civil society overseas.
Even on a project management level, the participants took interest in the State Department's partnership with civil society to implement the International Visitor Leadership Program through the Global Ties network. Raif Mokretar-Karroubi from Algeria observed, "I knew I was coming on a State Department program, but I was surprised to discover that IVLP is a partnership with NGOs and civil society. It shows the team spirit among government and NGOs; they are part of the same team."
Returning home, the participants now have a deeper understanding of how citizens, ordinary men and women determined to forge their own futures, are the true agents of change and progress. At the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, it is our role is to empower them through citizen diplomacy and people-to-people exchanges.
About the Author: Augusta Babson serves as a Program Officer in the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. For more information about the IVLP program and international exchanges, follow @ECAatState on Twitter.

"I have hope and faith that we can become more intelligent, more wise. After all, that's the name of our species: homo sapiens. The people who are wise," said Krista Tippett at Symposium by the Sea.
The name takes a full breath to say: Point Loma Nazarene University's Writer's Symposium by the Sea. But the annual get-together at the little Christian university near San Diego has been drawing guests that major universities would love to have.
At the February symposium the school had NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, spiritual guru Deepak Chopra and novelist Jane Smiley. There was also a writer whose name trips off the tongue, but who's not nearly as well-known as she deserves.
Krista Tippett is the host of the public radio program "On Being." She was awarded a presidential National Humanities Medal, and her book "Speaking of Faith: Why Religion Matters and How to Talk About It" is a handbook for taking faith into the public square.
After she was interviewed on stage before a full auditorium at Point Loma, I told her she looked like she'd be more comfortable doing the asking instead of the answering.
"It's all conversation," she said. "And I always enjoy a good conversation."
And the key to a good conversation, Tippett says, is in the listening.
Poet William Stafford once said he'd heard a lot of people say, "I sure told him off," but he had yet to hear someone say, "I sure out-listened him."
Krista Tippett can "out-listen" most anybody.
Here are some of her thoughts from her interview at the Symposium by the Sea:
On ritual:
"Rituals are spiritual technology. They mirror things that scientists are now discovering. Rituals are how we harness all the things that make us human. They help us navigate the complexities of life. There is something life-giving about public rituals."
On the inner life:
"Today, what we value, admire and celebrate is all external — money, power, celebrity. We have made having an inner life optional. And that's a lonely way to live. For me, quiet and submission, born out of fatigue, were the beginning of wisdom. When we get totally exhausted, external things can't carry us anymore. We have to look inside. And that's when we begin creating a worthy life for ourselves."
On mystery:
"Mystery is the common, human experience. It is intellectual humility. Einstein said, 'The ability to wonder is at the heart of both science and religion.' I am in love with asking questions. Questions are how we move forward."
On the future:
"I have hope and faith that we can become more intelligent, more wise. After all, that's the name of our species: homo sapiens. The people who are wise."

Funniest/Most Insightful Comments Of The Week At Techdirt
from the text-versus-subtext dept
When LeaseWeb deleted Megaupload's servers this week, the second commenter to the post began a sentence with "If Dotcom is so darned eager to prove his innocence..." No need to read further, as there's already a big problem with that statement, and an anonymous commenter took most insightful comment of the week by pointing it out:
He doesn't have to. The DOJ needs to prove his guilt.
Failed basic civics, did you?
While the first place comment saw a glaring error on the surface, the second place comment saw a problem by reading between the lines. Faced with Microsoft's capitulation on the subject of Xbox One DRM, Mason Wheeler saw an old negotiator's trick:
When you listen to what they're actually saying, what it sounds like to me is the "Door-in-the-face technique" in practice. It goes like this:
- I want something that the people I want it from aren't going to like.
- I ask them for something far, far worse. They say "no way!" and (metaphorically) slam the door in my face.
- I come back and ask them for what I really wanted all along. They give it to me, because I'm suddenly sounding a lot more reasonable.
Keeping this in mind, let's look at what Microsoft actually said:After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.- What I want: DRM on all games in the form of a universally required activation system. But gamers hate DRM. They wouldn't accept that.
- What I ask for: always-online DRM requiring a persistent Internet connection. Gamers slam the door in my face and let me know that there's no way I'll sell any consoles with an onerous restriction like that.
- What I give them instead: DRM on all games in the form of a universally required activation system. Gamers buy my console because I "listened to them" and did away with the always-on Internet requirement, which I never intended to actually implement in the first place.
- I laugh all the way to the bank.
For editor's choice, we'll start with yet another eagle-eyed commenter (this one anonymous) who spotted some troubling language in the leaked NSA rules for using data:
I'm deeply concerned about this, actually (emphasis mine):Retain and make use of "inadvertently acquired" domestic communications if they contain usable intelligence, information on criminal activity, threat of harm to people or property, are encrypted, or are believed to contain any information relevant to cybersecurity;Remember, my fellow Americans: only criminals encrypt things.
Next, in response to the FBI's admission that going through a proper legal process to get data takes too much time, so they don't do it. ChurchHatesTucker coined a new adage to suit the situation:
If you're looking for a needle in a haystack, you don't start by collecting all the haystacks.
On the funny side, we open with a quick quip from the post about the Xbox change-of-plans, delivered by S. T. Stone and winning funniest comment of the week:
Let's get the obvious joke out of the way:
So, who wants an XBox One-Eighty?
And in second place, we've got a little snark from Akari Mizunashi, who looked at the stupid idea to place DRM on books by changing certain words and saw a silver lining:
There's a well hidden silver lining with this type of DRM.
For example, anyone downloading a Twilight book would ultimately wind up with a better story, thanks to the re-writes performed by the DRM.
And finally, for editor's choice on the funny side, we've got two comments taking on the obvious target of the week (again). First is the unhelpfully-named name with a solution to the Megaupload server deletion problem:
Doesn't the NSA have a backup copy of the Megaupload servers?
And second is an anonymous commenter with a good old fashioned joke:
Just remembered something I heard a day or two ago—
NSA Director walks into a bar.
Bartender asks, "Did you hear the one about… ?"
NSA Director interrupts, "Yep."
I guess if they can monitor phone lines, why not punch lines? [Rimshot.] I'll be here all week.

When it comes to purchasing power, one number reigns supreme: your credit score.
Continue Reading Below
Lenders use borrowers' credit reports and scores to help determine borrowing capacity for big-ticket purchases like an auto loan or mortgage, and if a score isn't up to par, consumers can face higher interest rates and fees.
Maintaining a good credit score, which experts say is a FICO around 760 and above, requires consumers to pay bills on time on a regular basis, pay down debt and limit their credit card spending. But even if they are following these steps, some consumers' scores are taking a hit due to errors.
A new study from the Federal Trade Commission finds 1 in 5 consumers had an error on at least one of their three major credit reports, and 5% of consumers had errors that could lead to paying more for auto loans and insurance. What's more, 25% found errors that could impact their credit scores.
The study also found that 1 in 5 consumers had an error that was corrected by a credit reporting agency after it was disputed, and 4 out of 5 consumers who disputed errors had some modification to their credit report, the study says.
More than 1 in 10 saw a change in their actual credit score after the agency modified errors, and nearly one in 20 had a maximum score change of more than 25 points. Only 1 in 250 consumers had a maximum score change of more than 100 points, according to the FTC. The study encouraged participants to use the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) process to resolve any potential errors.
The FTC study worked with 1,001 participants who reviewed 2,968 credit reports alongside a study associate to identify and correct possible errors. The study reviews all of the primary groups participating in credit reporting and scoring, which includes consumers, lenders, data furnishers, the Fair Isaac Corporation (which develops FICO credit scores) and the national credit reporting agencies.
Credit.com Director of Consumer Education Gerri Detweiler says consumers often avoid viewing their credit reports because they know it's not as strong as it should be or they wait until they actually need it for a loan.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau estimates only about 1 in 5 consumers annually obtained copies of their credit reports annually in 2010 and 2011.
"There is a large chunk of consumers who don't even see their credit reports, so they don't know if they're accurate or not," Detweiler says. "People think if they get the credit card they want, the report doesn't matter. Or, they know it's bad and don't want to deal with the problem. It can also be confusing."
Those who wait until it's time to obtain a loan to check their report will find it's often too late to fix issues, Detweiler says. Checking before you are serious about getting a loan is key to accuracy.
Here are Detweiler's tips for correcting errors on your credit report:
No. 1: Keep good records of disputes. Any errors you find on your report should be documented in detail. The FTC says inaccuracies often reside in the header information in reports, meaning names are misspelled or addresses are incorrect.
"How you respond to the error will be influenced by how serious it is," Detweiler says. "For something simple like a misspelling or address, you can click a few links online to dispute."
If the error is more serious, you need a paper trail of your communication with the lender or credit reporting agency.
No. 2: Wait 45-to-60 days for errors to correct. It can take several weeks for errors to be fixed, which is why Detweiler stresses reporting mistakes as soon as discovered.
"Depending on your billing cycle, it can take longer to correct," she says.
No. 3: Contact all three bureaus. Detweiler says the three credit reporting agencies do not share information with one another. Unless you are changing the information with your actual lender, you will have to contact all three credit reporting agencies to update your status.

Between now and November 10th, we're partnering with Waze to give away Galaxy Tab (or an iPad if you're feeling cross-platform). Here's how it works:
- Download and install Waze from the Android Market (you can use the QR code here.)
- Drive around with Waze and collect "Road Goodies" - which basically just means drive over the Android logos as you move about your city. As you can see above, they are *everywhere*.
- It's a competition between iPhone users, Android users, and BlackBerry users - which is to say you're up against the kids from TiPb and CrackBerry.com. Whichever site whose users collect the most Road Goodies will win and be able to give a tablet away to one of their users - selected randomly from amongst the top 25 collectors. Remember - you only get credit for driving over the Android icons.
- That's it! Use Waze, collect Road Goodies, and stick it to those iPhone and BlackBerry users while automatically getting a chance to win an iPad or Tab
What's Waze, then? It's a free social mapping tool: you can get directions, find out where the traffic is, ping other users, and generally find your way around while helping other Waze users get better location and traffic information. Check out the full details on the Waze Blog.

Congrats to our winner: Pierce H.! Check back soon for more contests and giveaways at PC Perspective!!

But EVGA is here for us! Courtesy of our long time sponsor you can win a post-Tax Day prize pack that includes both an EVGA Hadron Air mini-ITX chassis (reviewed by us here) as well as an EVGA GeForce GTX 750 graphics card.
Nothing makes paying taxes better than free stuff that falls under the gift limit...
With these components under your belt you are well down the road to PC gaming bliss, upgrading your existing PC or starting a new one in a form factor you might not have otherwise imagined.
Competing for these prizes is simple and open to anyone in the world, even if you don't suffer the same April 15th fear that we do. (I'm sure you have your own worries...)
- Fill out the form at the bottom of this post to give us your name and email address, in addition to the reasons you love April 15th! (Seriously, we need some good ideas for next year to keep our heads up!) Also, this does not mean you should leave a standard comment on the post to enter, though you are welcome to do that too.
- Stop by our Facebook page and give us a LIKE (I hate saying that), head over to our Twitter page and follow @pcper and heck, why not check our our many videos and subscribe to our YouTube channel?
- Why not do the same for EVGA's Facebook and Twitter accounts?

A huge thanks goes out to friends and supporters at EVGA for providing us with the hardware to hand out to you all. If it weren't for sponsors like this PC Perspective just couldn't happen, so be sure to give them some thanks when you see them around the In-tar-webs!!
Good luck!
EVGA Enters the Chassis Market
Cases are a funny thing. Some people spend more time fretting over the chassis of their new system than any other component while some builders simply could not care less about what "box" is holding the carefully selected components that power their gaming rig. While I can see both points of view, I think it is a shame to completely ignore the "look" of your system as it will be the one part of your design choices that you'll see on a daily basis.
EVGA has a great reputation in the enthusiast market thanks to its top of the line graphics cards and the emphasis of the company on enthusiast level products, water cooling and more. In recent years EVGA has branched into motherboards (again), power supplies and now cases. But rather than target a market that was saturated and dominated by a few big players, they decided to target the Mini ITX form factor. Having just recently released the Z87 Stinger Mini ITX motherboard, EVGA has created an ecosystem that allows a builder to use exclusively EVGA components with the new Hadron Air case.
In our video review below you'll see our overview of the design, the positive and negatives of the design and of small cases in general and my final thoughts on this rather impressive mITX design. After you are done watching it head down to the collection of photos below for a written analysis of the Hadron Air.
If you have never worked in a small form factor PC before, let me warn you up front - this is not as simple of a process as building a computer in a standard ATX case. Space is tight and doing simple things like routing cables from the motherboard to the hard drive can be a 10 minute ordeal. Additionally, sometimes the ORDER of installation can make a HUGE difference in the ease of the entire process so pay attention to other users that might have used your particular chassis.
Don't let its small size fool you though, the EVGA Hadron Air can pack a lot of punch. Using the latest mITX motherboard and graphics cards from EVGA's lineup you can literally build one of the most powerful gaming systems around in its small 6x12x12-in space!

EVGA Launches Mini ITX Hadron Air Case
Subject: Cases and Cooling | September 13, 2013 - 01:44 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: mini ITX, hadron air, hadron, evga
EVGA has launched a new barebones Mini ITX case called the Hadron Air. The new case is in the same vein as the MiniBox chassis it showed off at Computex earlier this year. The new Hadron Air measures 12" x 6.6" x 12.1" (HxWxD) and is constructed of aluminum with a black brushed finish on the outside.
The Hadron Air has curved edges and rounded corners. The front of the case is lifted up slightly by case feet, putting the case at a slight angle. There are vents on the top and right side of the case as well as an acrylic window on the left side panel. A bay for a slim slot loading optical drive and the front IO port are located on the right side of the case. The front IO includes two USB 3.0 ports and two HD audio jacks. The back of the case has a bottom mounted power supply, two PCI slots, and two water cooling passthrough grommets.
EVGA is bundling the case with a small form factor 500W power supply. The PSU is 80 PLUS Gold rated and offers up 40A on the 12V rail. The case supports Mini ITX motherboards, two 2.5" or 3.5" storage drives, and dual slot graphics cards up to 267mm in length. As far as cooling, the case supports two 120mm exhaust fans in the top panel and the power supply has its own small intake fan. A list of compatible CPU coolers can be found here.
The case comes bundled with a 500W power supply, manual, AC power cord, two SATA cables, and a bracket for a slim slot loading optical drive.
The Hadron Air is available now for $189.99. The Mini ITX chassis is part of the Hadron series of cases which includes the Air and a water cooling optimized version called the Hadron Hydro which is reportedly "coming soon."
More information on the Hadron Air can be found on this EVGA product page.

Kyrgyzstan, country of Central Asia. It is bounded by Kazakhstan on the northwest and north, by China on the east and south, and by Tajikistan and Uzbekistan on the south and west. Most of Kyrgyzstan's borders run along mountain crests. The capital is Bishkek (known from 1862 to 1926 as Pishpek and from 1926 to 1991 as Frunze).
The Kyrgyz, a Muslim Turkic people, constitute more than half the population. The history of the Kyrgyz in what is now Kyrgyzstan dates at least to the 17th century. Kyrgyzstan, known under Russian and Soviet rule as Kirgiziya, was conquered by tsarist Russian forces in the 19th century. Formerly a constituent (union) republic of the U.S.S.R., Kyrgyzstan declared its independence on August 31, 1991.
Kyrgyzstan is above all a mountainous country. At its eastern extremity, next to the Uighur Autonomous Region of Sinkiang, China, rises Victory (Pobedy) Peak, at 24,406 feet (7,439 metres) Kyrgyzstan's highest peak. Mount Khan-Tengri (22,949 feet) is on the border with Kazakhstan. These mountains stand in the core of the Tien Shan system, which continues eastward into China. On the southern border lie the Kok Shaal-Tau, Alay, Trans-Alay (Zaalay), and Atbashi ranges.
To the southwest are two great hollows, the Fergana Valley and another valley close to Mount Khan-Tengri. The latter valley is bounded by the westward-thrusting arms of the Kungey-Alatau and Terskey-Alatau ranges and contains Lake Ysyk (Issyk-Kul), whose clear deep waters are fed by the snow-covered peaks. The rugged mountain-and-basin structure of much of the country, and the high alpine plateau of the central and eastern regions, are separated from the Fergana Valley on the west by the Fergana Range, running southeast to northwest, which merges into the Chatkal Range. The Chatkal Range is linked to the Ysyk-Köl region by a final enclosing range, the Kyrgyz. The only other important lowlands in the country are the Chu and Talas river valleys in the north, with the capital, Bishkek, located in the Chu. The country's lowland areas, though occupying only one-seventh of the total area, are home to most of its people.
Snow and ice perpetually cover the crests of Kyrgyzstan's high mountain ranges. The Naryn River, draining into the Fergana Valley, continues northwestward as a tributary of the Syr Darya. The Chu River runs parallel to and forms part of the northern boundary with Kazakhstan. Both the Chu and the Naryn are of major importance to the country.
Kyrgyzstan's great distance from the oceans and the sharp change of elevation from adjacent plains strongly influence the country's climate. Deserts and plains surround Kyrgyzstan on the north, west, and southeast, making the contrast with the climate and landscape of its mountainous interior all the more striking. The lower parts of its fringing ranges lie in belts of high temperature and receive hot, drying winds from the deserts beyond. The amount of precipitation the country's westward- and northward-facing slopes receive increases with their height. The valleys have hot dry summers, with a mean July temperature of 82 °F (28 °C). In January the average temperature is −0.5 °F (−18 °C). Annual precipitation varies from 7 inches (180 mm) in the eastern Tien Shan to 30 to 40 inches (760 to 1,000 mm) in the Kyrgyz and Fergana ranges. In the most populous valleys, rainfall ranges from 4 to 20 inches (100 to 500 mm) a year.
Plant and animal life
Woodlands run along the lower valleys and on slopes of the north-facing ranges. These are coniferous forests, containing the striking Tien Shan white spruce and occupying 3 to 4 percent of the country's area. The brown bear, wild pig, lynx, gray wolf, and ermine live in the woodlands. Wooded ravines and the valleys of the mountainous steppe regions provide the abode of the argali, a mountain sheep, along with mountain goats, deer, and snow leopards. In the desert, yellow gophers, jerboas, hares, and a large-eared hedgehog are typical.
Settlement patterns
Between 1926 and 1989 the urban portion of the Kyrgyz population grew from almost nothing to more than one-fifth, though the Kyrgyz remained a minority in most cities and towns. During this period fewer than one-fourth of the inhabitants of the capital, Frunze (now Bishkek), were Kyrgyz; Slavs made up more than half of the city's population. Southern Kyrgyzstan tends to be rural and Islamic, but the more urbanized Western-oriented north has traditionally dominated the country. Only about one-third of the total population is urban, however, while nearly two-thirds is rural.
Ethnic groups
The Kyrgyz, formerly a transhumant (nomadic) people, were settled into collectivized agriculture by the Soviet regime. Besides Kyrgyz, the country's population includes minorities of Russians, Uzbeks, Ukrainians, and Germans (exiled to the region from European parts of the Soviet Union in 1941), as well as Tatars, Kazakhs, Dungans (Hui; Chinese Muslims), Uighurs, and Tajiks. Since independence in 1991, many Russians and Germans have emigrated. Nearly three-fourths of the population is Kyrgyz, while about one-seventh is Uzbek. The other ethnic groups make up the remaining one-eighth of the population.
Most Kyrgyz speak a language belonging to the northwestern group of the Turkic languages, especially Kyrgyz. A sizeable minority speak Uzbek, a Turkic language of the southeastern branch. Russian is also spoken, and official language status has been accorded to both Kyrgyz and Russian.
Demographic trends
The population of Kyrgyzstan is young. Over half the population is under age 30, while nearly one-third is under age 15. The death rate is slightly lower than the global average, and the birth rate is slightly above average. Life expectancy is about 75 years for women and 67 years for men.
The people of Kyrgyzstan have traditionally raised livestock and engaged in farming. By the late 20th century the republic had become a source for nonferrous metals, notably of antimony and mercury ores, and a producer of machinery, light industrial products, hydroelectric power, and food products. Gold mining has increased in importance, and Kyrgyzstan possesses substantial coal reserves and some petroleum and natural gas deposits. Hydroelectric power provides more than three-fourths of the country's electric energy.
Industrialization has stimulated the mechanization of agriculture in Kyrgyzstan, and many types of machines necessary to cope with the largely mountainous terrain are manufactured in the republic. Unlike other Central Asian countries, Kyrgyzstan does not suffer from a lack of water; irrigation canals have increased agricultural output substantially, especially cotton production in the Fergana Valley, the country's main source for that crop. Livestock raising, the cultivation of cotton, fruit, vegetables, cereal grains, and tobacco, and wool production are the leading branches of agriculture.
Most of the arable land is devoted to pasturage for livestock and to growing hay. Livestock consists mainly of sheep and goats, along with milk and beef cattle, notably in the Chu valley and the Lake Ysyk littoral. Horses serve as draft animals as well as a source of meat; the Kyrgyz like to drink koumiss, fermented mare's milk, and use it in courses of treatment at health resorts.
Tobacco is cultivated in the Naukat Valley in the south and also in the Talas Valley of the north. Horticulture and viticulture are developed in the Chu River valley and the Fergana area, with the mulberry trees of the latter supporting the raising of silkworms.
The chief industries are the manufacture of machinery and electronic components, but food processing and light industries are also important and utilize local agricultural materials such as meat, fruit, and vegetables. Wool is the most exportable product, and mills weave cotton and silk fabrics, worsted cloth, and knitted garments. Leather goods are also produced.
Most imports come from Russia, China, and Kazakhstan. The primary destinations for exports are Switzerland and Kazakhstan, while the United Arab Emirates, Russia, and Uzbekistan also receive exports from Kyrgyzstan. Kyrgyzstan imports petroleum products, machinery, and food among other things. Precious metals, ores, fabrics, and food among other things are its exports. Kyrgyzstan is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union along with Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, and Armenia.
Before 1924 the only railways in Kyrgyzstan were two narrow-gauge lines leading from the border areas to the coal deposits of Kok-Yangak and Sülüktü. The construction of a line from Bishkek through the Chu valley and over the border to Lūgovoe in Kazakhstan joined the north of the republic to the Turkistan-Siberian main railway line and, through it, to southern Kazakhstan and the entire railway network of the U.S.S.R. In 1948 a link extended the line up the valley from Bishkek (then called Frunze) to Ysyk-Köl (then called Rybachye) at the western tip of Lake Ysyk (Issyk-Kul). Southern lines reached the coal mines at Tash-Kömür and Kyzyl-Kyya.
Highways nevertheless have been developed as the basic answer to the topographic problems confronting land transportation. One main route climbs from Bishkek to Ysyk-Köl (with extensions along the north and south shores of Lake Ysyk), then swings south across difficult central terrain to Naryn and proceeds through the high Torugart Pass across the frontier with China and down to the city of Kashgar in China. The other major artery, the "route beyond the clouds," from Bishkek to Osh, crosses the Kyrgyz-Alatau crest through a 10,500-foot (3,200-metre) tunnel. An important southern link is provided by the road joining Osh, via the Alay Pass, to the Pamir region of Tajikistan. An offshoot runs eastward through Irkeshtam to Kashgar.
Administration and social conditions
Kyrgyzstan is a unitary multiparty republic with one legislative house. Its 1993 constitution, which replaced the Soviet-era constitution that had been in effect since 1978, recognized numerous rights and freedoms for citizens. It established legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government and gave the president the ability to implement important policies or constitutional amendments through a national referendum. In 2010, following ethnic clashes and the ouster of Pres. Kurmanbek Bakiyev, a national referendum authorizing a new constitution was passed. It transferred many powers previously held by the president to an expanded parliament and established limits to prevent a single party from dominating the political system.
Under the 2010 constitution, the president, who serves as the head of state, is directly elected to a single six-year term. The unicameral parliament has 120 seats, of which no party may occupy more than 65. Legislators are elected by party, and only parties that exceed set vote totals in parliamentary elections can seat members in parliament. A prime minister is selected by the majority party or governing coalition to serve as the head of government. Amendments passed in a 2016 referendum allow the prime minister to be both a voting member of the parliament and an active executive at the same time, to appoint heads of local administrations, and to dismiss members of the cabinet without presidential approval. The judicial branch includes local courts and two high courts: the Supreme Court and, for commercial cases, the Supreme Economic Court.
Political process
During the Soviet period, the Communist Party of Kirgiziya (CPK), a branch of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), determined the makeup of the government and dominated the political process. The CPK transformed itself into the People's Democratic Party during the Soviet Union's collapse and declined in influence after Kyrgyzstan, in contested elections in 1989, had gained its first democratically elected president, Askar Akayev, a former university professor and computer scientist. Informal political groups such as Ashar ("Solidarity") have since helped to open up the political process further.
Kyrgyzstan's schools and colleges have undergone a drastic reorganization since emerging from the ideological control of the Communist Party. The republic made Kyrgyz the official state language in 1989, and since that time Kyrgyz has begun to play a primary role in education; whole generations of students previously received much of their training entirely in Russian, which was obligatory. As a consequence, the Kyrgyz language lacked a thoroughly modern technical vocabulary. Another obstacle to research and scholarship is the general lack of competence in European languages among educated Kyrgyz. After independence Kyrgyzstan's contacts with the outside world increased dramatically, with Kyrgyz students, scholars, and officials traveling to Middle Eastern and Western countries for specialized and technical training. The Kyrgyz Academy of Sciences and Kyrgyz State University, both in Bishkek, are the major institutions of higher education.
Health and welfare
Kyrgyzstan, along with the other Central Asian republics, suffers from one of the highest rates of infant morbidity and mortality among the world's developed countries. Medical care is substandard; Kyrgyzstan's standard of living and educational and economic levels are among the lowest of the former Soviet republics.
Cultural life
Starting in the 1920s and '30s, several Kyrgyz-language newspapers appeared regularly in the republic, but they were subject to Soviet censorship. With the collapse of Moscow's control over the press, the editorial policies of the republic's publications have changed noticeably, and new press outlets have appeared, though press freedom has occasionally been curtailed. Kyrgyzstan has a television network, extensive radio broadcasting, cinemas, and theatres. Kyrgyz cultural life has been greatly influenced by the rich oral literary tradition (including epic cycles and lyric poetry) of the region, by the development of a modern literary language, and by the change from the Arabic alphabet to Roman and finally to Cyrillic (with diacritical markings added) beginning in 1940. The Kyrgyz planned a return to the Roman alphabet in the 1990s, in concert with the other Turkic-speaking countries of Central Asia. Kyrgyz folk singers still recite the lengthy verse epic Manas and other heroic and lyric poetry, often to the accompaniment of the three-stringed komuz, which is plucked like a lute.
During the Soviet period Kyrgyz poets strove to adjust their writings to communist ideology and the tenets of Socialist Realism. But the character of Kyrgyz cultural life has undergone considerable change in the wake of the dissolution of the Communist Party and the cessation of its tight ideological controls.
The Kyrgyz take pride in the renown of Chingiz Aytmatov, a novelist and storywriter who wrote mainly in Russian but also in Kyrgyz. His Povesti gor i stepey (1963; Tales of Mountains and Steppes) and the more recent I dol'she veka dlit'sia den' (1980; The Day Lasts More than a Hundred Years) and Plakha (1986; The Place of the Skull) have received wide circulation in Russian and in English translations. Aytmatov's play Voskhozhdenie na Fudziiamu (1973; The Ascent of Mt. Fuji), written with Kazakh playwright Kaltay Muhamedjanov, discusses rather openly the moral compromises made under the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. This play created a sensation when it was first staged in Moscow in 1973 and later in English-language productions abroad.

Kyrgyz history can be traced at least to the 1st century bce. The probable abodes of the early Kyrgyz were in the upper Yenisey River valley of central Siberia, and the Tashtyk culture (1st century bce–5th century ce), an amalgam of Asiatic and European peoples, may have been theirs. Chinese and Muslim sources of the 7th–12th century ce describe the Kyrgyz as red-haired with fair complexion and green (blue) eyes. They were viewed as a forest-dwelling "northern" people who used skis and practiced shamanism. In the mid-9th century the Kyrgyz, by then certainly Turkic-speaking, overthrew the Uighur empire in Mongolia but did not settle there; they essentially remained a people of the forest. According to the Persian geography Ḥudūd al-ʿĀlam (982), the Kyrgyz lived at the edge of the "Uninhabited Lands of the North"; the 11th-century grammarian Maḥmūd al-Kāshgharī mentions that their language was Turkic. Because of their secluded habitats, the Kyrgyz remained outside the mainstream of Inner Asian history, a fact that allowed them to survive the Mongol deluge that completely altered the Inner Asian political landscape. In 1207 the Kyrgyz surrendered to Genghis Khan's son Jöchi. By so doing, they not only escaped destruction but also remained beyond the immediate reach of Islam. In the late 16th century shamanism was still flourishing among them.
By the 16th–17th century most of the remaining Kyrgyz tribes lived in the Tien Shan range as mountain nomads, divided into two wings (left and right), though the advancing Russians still encountered remnants of the Yenisey branch of the Kyrgyz. In 1703, under pressure from the Dzungars (a tribe of western Mongols), the Yenisey Kyrgyz moved to the Semirechye, but hostilities between the two peoples continued until China's defeat of the Dzungar leader Amursana in 1757. In the mid-18th century, nominally at least, the Kyrgyz became part of the Qing (Manchu) empire of China. Between 1825 and 1830 they were conquered by Muhammad ʿAli, the khan of Kokand; Bishkek (Pishpek), the future capital city of the Kyrgyz, was built by that khanate. Through these contacts, Islam was gradually adopted by the more-southern Kyrgyz, although it has remained merely a veneer on the national culture.
Between 1835 and 1858 two Tien Shan Kyrgyz tribes, the Sarybagysh and the Bugu, engaged in a fratricidal war in which both sides alternately sought and obtained Kokandian or Russian help. In 1855 the Bugu voluntarily submitted to the Russians, and it was at their request that the Russians built the fort of Aksu in 1863.
The Kyrgyz tribes thus entered the modern era divided, harassed by Russians and Kokandians alike. The periodic revolts of the southern Kyrgyz against the Kokand khanate in the mid-19th century received no Russian support. But Russian immigration into Kyrgyz territories, rather than warfare, posed the real threat to Kyrgyz existence. Poor Russian peasants escaping from servitude and famine appropriated the winter pasturelands of the Kyrgyz, forcing them to move into the mountains. The Russian colonists did teach the Kyrgyz some new agricultural techniques, but on the whole their impact was nothing short of disastrous. In 1916 Kyrgyz discontent erupted in a serious revolt, which was met with brutal and prolonged repression that continued even after the fall of Russia's tsarist regime.
Under Soviet rule the Kyrgyz found it difficult to assert themselves as a separate national entity. Confusion concerning their very name persists in the West because, under the tsars, the Kyrgyz were wrongly labeled Kara-Kirgiz in order to distinguish them from the Kazakhs, whom the Russians called Kirgiz to distinguish them from the Cossacks (Russian: Kazaky). In 1924 an autonomous Kirgiz oblast (province) was created within the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic. In 1926 its status was transformed into that of an autonomous republic, and in 1936 a full union republic was created, the Kirgiz Soviet Socialist Republic, often called Kirgiziya.
In the second half of the 20th century, economic progress and general modernization did not succeed in eradicating tensions between Russians and Kyrgyz. Among the Central Asian republics of the former Soviet Union, Kyrgyzstan was perhaps the most eager to obtain full independence. After more than 1,000 years of disunity, statelessness, and foreign subjection, Kyrgyzstan joined the world's independent countries on August 31, 1991.Denis Sinor
Under President Askar Akayev, Kyrgyzstan developed all the institutions of a modern democracy, including an open press, an independent judiciary, and a freely elected parliament. Yet the new country experienced numerous challenges. Kyrgyzstan saw a sharp economic decline beginning in the mid-1990s, in part because of a shortage of raw materials and the emigration of many Russian and German professionals. Moreover, Akayev's government was accused of widespread corruption, and the president was denounced for abusing his power. The press, though ostensibly free, was subject to official intimidation and, from 1995, to a series of state regulations. The country's main external threat was the infiltration of large numbers of Islamist guerrillas moving between Afghanistan and Uzbekistan. In 2001 the government granted U.S. and allied forces the right to establish a base at Manas to conduct operations against Muslim militants in Afghanistan. (In February 2009 the Kyrgyz parliament voted overwhelmingly to end the lease, but it reversed its decision in June, after several months of intense lobbying by the United States to allow the continued U.S. use of the site as a transport hub for noncombat supplies.) A Russian air base was established in Kyrgyzstan in 2003 to support a Commonwealth of Independent States rapid reaction force intended to combat Muslim guerrillas. Flawed parliamentary elections in 2005 and a widespread perception of government corruption led to mass demonstrations in March of that year. These protests, quite surprisingly, led to the sudden and rapid collapse of the Akayev government. The president fled the country on March 24 and resigned several days later. In July elections, which were largely deemed free and fair by Western observers, Kurmanbek Bakiyev was chosen president.
The period following Bakiyev's election was marked by political instability as the new president worked to assert his authority. Although Bakiyev employed a number of authoritarian practices to consolidate his power—including undermining the opposition and promoting associates and relatives to important posts—he neither achieved full authority nor moved Kyrgyz politics firmly into authoritarianism. Bakiyev faced emerging criticism on a number of key issues, however, including a perceived increase in corruption, which had been a central factor leading to the demonstrations against the government he had been elected to replace. In addition, the parliament installed under Akayev by the flawed elections of 2005 remained a locus of political instability, and Bakiyev's failure to hold new parliamentary elections was widely criticized.
In October 2007 a referendum proposing a new code of electoral law and a series of significant constitutional changes was overwhelmingly approved in an election criticized by observers for its failure to meet international standards. The referendum increased the number of seats in parliament and provided for their allotment on the basis of party lists rather than individual candidacy; this was widely seen as a move by Bakiyev to bolster his newly formed Ak Zhol party and further undermine the opposition. The referendum also granted the president the right to dissolve the government at will. Bakiyev accordingly did so immediately following the announcement of the referendum results and called for early elections, which were held in December. Ak Zhol won the majority of the seats, controlling nearly four-fifths of the newly expanded Kyrgyz parliament. Although Bakiyev lauded the election proceedings, both local and international observers expressed concern about reports of widespread violations, including purchased votes and the elimination of opposition candidates from the election.
As Bakiyev's term progressed, opposition figures accused him of intimidation and a dwindling tolerance for dissent. In the period leading up to the presidential election of 2009, in which Bakiyev sought reelection, attacks on journalists were perpetrated with increasing frequency and were criticized by observers as an attempt to stifle dissent. The election was held on July 23, 2009, and, as voting progressed, Bakiyev's main challenger alleged widespread electoral fraud and effectively withdrew himself from the race before the polls had even closed. Official election results credited Bakiyev with a landslide victory of more than three-fourths of the vote, although international observers likewise expressed concerns with the conduct of the election.
Protest against Bakiyev's increasingly authoritarian policies and accusations of corruption both played a role in the outbreak of violent unrest in April 2010, but the more immediate cause appeared to be a steep increase in the cost of utilities. In early April, thousands of protesters attempted to storm the main government building in Bishkek in an apparent effort to overthrow the government. Failing to disperse the crowds with tear gas and stun grenades, riot police fired with live ammunition, killing some 80 people and wounding hundreds more. On April 7 the Kyrgyz government declared a state of emergency in response to the unrest as simultaneous demonstrations broke out in Naryn, Tokmak, and Talas, where protesters seized government offices. By the early hours of April 8, Bakiyev had fled the capital by plane, and the opposition had announced the formation of an interim government.
Although he issued statements condemning the events, Bakiyev's precise whereabouts were unclear until several days later, when he emerged near Jalal-Abad, farther south. Meanwhile, the opposition, led by former foreign minister Roza Otunbayeva, worked to consolidate its hold on power, replacing government officials in numerous positions and holding conversations with U.S. and Russian leaders. Although Bakiyev initially insisted that he retained popular support and would not step down, the opposition claimed to have received his resignation, and on April 15 Bakiyev departed Kyrgyzstan, leaving the country in the hands of the interim government with Otunbayeva serving as president. Several days later, however, from exile in Belarus, Bakiyev denied having resigned and insisted that he was still in fact the country's legitimate president. Meanwhile, as looting and unrest sparked by the political conflict continued, the interim government authorized the use of deadly force to restore order.
Almost two months after the transfer of power, ethnic violence between the Kyrgyz majority and the Uzbek minority erupted in the south of the country, particularly in and around Osh. With the interim government unable to bring the region under its control, this ethnic violence resulted in the deaths of scores of Uzbeks and a smaller number of Kyrgyz, as well as the dislocation of hundreds of thousands. Reports also alleged that atrocities had been committed by Kyrgyz troops, suggesting that the military was not fully under government control. The interim government did not immediately respond to these allegations and instead accused Bakiyev of fomenting the unrest. Meanwhile, Uzbeks claimed zones of autonomy in the south and refused to account to the central government, threatening to fracture the country.
Although the violence had cast into doubt the ability of the interim government to hold a scheduled referendum on a new constitution, in late June the vote took place as planned. The new constitution was approved by some 90 percent of voters in an election international observers held to be free and fair.
In October 2010 Kyrgyzstan's first parliamentary elections proceeded without violence or major voting irregularities, a development that was hailed as a step forward for democracy in Central Asia. Five parties received enough votes to enter parliament. The nationalist Ata-Zhurt party, which included several associates of former president Bakiyev and opposed the new constitution, garnered the most votes, although no party achieved a majority. A coalition government was formed with Almazbek Atambayev, of the Social Democratic Party, serving as prime minister. He resigned in September 2011 in order to contest the upcoming presidential election.
Atambayev won a commanding victory in the October 2011 presidential election, receiving more than 60 percent of the vote. His large margin of victory over the second-place candidate, who secured less than 15 percent of the vote, eliminated the need for a runoff. The peaceful election was hailed as an important achievement for Kyrgyzstan, although international observers noted voting irregularities in some areas of country.
Term limits prevented Atambayev from running for a second term, and Sooronbai Jeenbekov, an ally and onetime prime minister of Atambayev, was elected president in October 2017. After a midwinter power plant outage in Bishkek caused public outrage, Jeenbekov fell out with Atambayev and his associates. Jeenbekov began replacing many of Atambayev's appointees, and the parliament sacked Prime Minister Sapar Isakov, also an ally of Atambayev. In June 2018 Isakov was among several political figures arrested on corruption charges, including another former prime minister.The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica

Last week in Jordan, 50 women from Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, the Palestinian Territories, Tunisia, Yemen and the United States came together to map out ways in which they could use the TechWomen network to encourage more women and girls to pursue professions in science, technology, engineering, and mathematic (STEM).
TechWomen is a program sponsored by the State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs that pairs emerging women leaders in technology from the Middle East and North Africa with leading American women from the Silicon Valley area, using technology as a means to empower women and girls. While in Jordan, these TechWomen participated in workshops and even pitched project ideas to organizations that provide support services to individual entrepreneurs hoping to start their own businesses. In addition, we had the honor to collaborate with Her Royal Highness Princess Sumaya in hosting a conference at the Princess Sumaya University for Technology, which allowed students and professional women to discuss the latest innovations in the field, share best practices, and build a global network.
The energy and excitement that we experienced throughout the week created an environment of connectivity between the women and potential partners. The TechWomen network is focused on providing role models for the next generation of women in technology. Last year, the State Department launched TechGirls to bring high-school aged girls from the Middle East and North Africa who aspire to a profession in STEM for a month-long tech camp in the United States. In Jordan, the TechWomen delegation met with TechGirls alumnae as well as potential TechGirl participants at educational institutions such as Injaz and the Jubilee School in Amman.
Technology continues to shape the world in which we operate: in industry, health care, education, and civil society. Ensuring that women and girls have the opportunity to connect, collaborate, and innovate is vital to our global efforts to empower the next generation of global citizens to pursue their potential.

Who we are
Our Mission:
We contribute to monetary policy, provide supervisory and regulatory oversight, and offer safe, reliable, and efficient financial services.
Our Vision:
We work to inspire financial institutions, the public, and central bank colleagues to have trust and confidence in us.
Our Values:
We strive for integrity, service, and personal growth and development.
What we do
The Kansas City Fed fosters the stability, integrity and efficiency of the nation's monetary, financial and payments systems to promote a stable, healthy economy. We do this through three areas:
Monetary Policy
We contribute to the formulation and implementation of monetary policy that promotes financial stability and sustainable economic growth.
How do we do this? The Fed manages the nation's system of money and credit. Monetary policy influences economic growth, maximum employment rates, interest rates, prices and the value of a dollar. Research staff at the Kansas City Fed, along with the other Reserve Banks, monitors regional economic conditions to provide grassroots input at a national level, where decisions are made on the interest rates charged to financial institutions when they borrow from the Federal Reserve.
Supervision and Regulation
We provide supervisory and regulatory oversight to financial institutions in a way that fosters a sound, accessible and competitive financial system that inspires trust.
How do we do this? We supervise state chartered banks that choose to be members of the Federal Reserve System, trust companies, data processing centers that service state member banks, and bank and financial holding companies, which control one or more commercial banks. This protects you as a consumer. The Kansas City Fed's geographic region has a high concentration of community banks, making our Reserve Bank's supervision and regulation work somewhat unique to the others'.
Financial Services
We promote a safe and efficient payments system, while providing high-quality, innovative financial services to depository institutions, the U.S. Treasury and the public.
How do we do this? The Fed monitors the region's demand for currency and coin. We distribute currency and coin to banks, replace worn and damaged notes, help detect counterfeit notes, and more. The Fed also serves as a bank for the U.S. government and Treasury by issuing, servicing and redeeming securities, including savings bond and income tax refunds. At the Kansas City Fed, specifically, staff members process funds and securities transfers and provide customer service to financial institutions nationwide that purchase Federal Reserve products.
Additional Information
Supplier Information
The Kansas City Fed uses competitive solicitation processes for its goods and services. If you would like to do business with us, learn more about how to become one of our diverse regional suppliers and access our self-registration tool, which allows us to collect information about your organization.

I pondered earlier why an economist would use the term market failure. A fellow wrote in to tell me that he uses it as a short-hand to describe a "situation in which we would expect the free market to fail to meet the Pareto optimality criterion." He allows as how a better term might be "intractable situation" since it may not be possible to achieve an optimal solution. He is still of the opinion that regulation can come closer to the optimum in most cases of market failure.
I'm less convinced than him for the same reason that people will drive their car in a situation where the total cost is cheaper to use mass transit. A car is effectively a sunk cost. You can sell your current car, but that is almost always followed by the purchase of a new car. Well, a government is a sunk cost. Markets have a problem with sunk costs, because over time a commodity ends up being sold at the marginal cost (the cost to produce the last item sold). But the last item sold doesn't account for the sunk cost.
In the market for services, government services are over-provided.
Sunk Costs
Traditionally, not all of a car's price is considered a sunk cost. Only that which cannot be recovered is "sunk". And yet, in most parts of North America, you need a car to do everything you'd like to do. In some very small parts of America, you can reasonably do without a car: villages where you can walk, or cities which have mass transit. Thus, deciding to live anywhere else requires that you sink the cost of owning a car.
I fear that I'm being too succinct, and waving my hands at things you may not understand. Please send email if I've outrun you.

Accessing a system is one thing, using it is another. There are two ways to use it: with your own code or with commercial code. Then, there are two vectors to getting whatever code you're using to run: command-line submission to a job manager or a web portal. What you list below is excellent (and our recommendations as well) way to access. Point #4 gets at use, but I would say that if they want to build their own codes and submit from a command-line, they will have to "Learn Linux." If they want to use a portal for commercial codes (or even their own), tell them to apply for a TeraGrid account or use GridChem or caGrid or someone's OSG stack or ... any of the number of portal-driven "grids" that are out there. > I have HowTo pages on: > 1) Loading and running Putty for ssh access > 2) Loading and running cygwin for a X-server to view graphics > 3) Loading and using WinSCP for file transfer to and from the cluster. > 4) Some instructions on howto use the Batch job system (Torque/Maui) for > common applications. > > What else helps?

Today's topic is microdermabrasion and let me say that I am a microdermabrasion fiend. I prefer stronger products, the ones that make me feel like I'm sand-blasting on my face (not literally, you know what I mean, right?). Before you tell me too much is bad for my skin, I'm completely aware of this. I do this about once a week, twice if I want to feel really pretty. 🙂 My desire to try new micro-dermabrasion products is endless, unfortunately my funds are not. Wouldn't it be great if they weren't? I have managed to gather a few different options at different price ranges to share with you though.
Pond's Purely Polished Micro-Dermabrasion Anti-Aging Kit is the least expensive option out of the four products I tried. When I saw it's applicator, I was pretty excited about using this product. I was hoping for the best due to it's price alone but when I started using this, it seemed more suitable as an exfoliant than micro-dermabrasion. Sure, it does do a little something but it lacks the oomph I was looking for. The texture of this product seemed really week and I was really disappointed with this. I guess you get what you pay for though. Instead of using this as it was intended to be used, I put in my shower to use as an exfoliant. At least this way I get some use out of it.
